Chapter 779: Borrow Your Head for a Purpose
Chai Rong woke up in the middle of the night, his body was still tired, but the fire in his heart urgently made his eyes widen, to find those two little bastards, and teach him a good lesson...... What caught my eye was an old face, with wrinkled silver hair, red eyes, leaning against the edge of the bed and yawning.
It can be seen that the old man is very sleepy, but he still tries to hold on...... When he noticed that the emperor's eyes were open, he was overjoyed and hurriedly came over.
"How? Is it better? β
Taifu Chai Shouli!
At this moment, Chai Rong's nose was also sour.
How to say it, in the troubled era of five dynasties and ten countries, it is very common to be an adopted son for others and adopt a godson.
Chai Rong, who is twenty or thirty years old, really doesn't have much affection for his father, especially Chai Shouli has done a lot of wrong things, making him carry a lot of black pots...... At one time, the relationship between father and son was extremely cold, and Chai Rong couldn't wait to have this father.
Later, Chai Shouli changed, he was dedicated to collecting wealth for the country and supporting his son's great cause of reunification...... Over the years, he has tried his best, seeing that there are more and more gray hairs on his sideburns, and his wrinkles are getting deeper and deeper, Chai Rong's heart is getting less and less.
To this day, seeing his father appear in front of him, Chai Rong couldn't hold back any longer, and tears rolled down the corners of his eyes......
"Let's, let the old man worry about it!"
Chai Shouli grinned, he grabbed his son's hand, and took a closer look, he was even older and thinner than his, except for the bones and skin, and his heart was uncomfortable.
"Over the years, you have suffered...... If the old man promised the emperor ......" Chai Shouli shook his head and said dejectedly: "Forget it, forget it!" Don't talk about the past, hurry up and take the medicine, after taking the medicine, you can sleep well for a while, it's still far from dawn! β
Chai Shouli took a yellow pill and brought it to Chai Rong's mouth.
Why is this still the thing? Chai Rong subconsciously shook his head, "This, this medicine...... I don't eat! He twisted his head to the side. Chai Shouli smiled faintly and explained: "The imperial doctors said that you are too weak now, and suddenly quitting medicine will only aggravate your condition. Continue to take red pills, and you may ...... at any time Therefore, this yellow one is configured, the medicine is much smaller, and it can reduce the pain, you can eat it with peace of mind! β
As he spoke, Chai Shouli took out a pill and put it in his mouth as if he was playing a trick.
Chai Rong was frightened, "Dad! β
When this voice came out, Chai Rong himself was surprised.
Chai Shouli was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed, and his voice became softer and softer, "Alas, this voice reminds me of when you were a child, when you were smart, motivated, and better than others in reading and practicing, and never admit defeat." Dad was careless and lost a lot of money, you are not yet twenty years old, so you go south and north, trafficking tea to pay off debts......" Chai Shouli babbled for a while, he also realized that he was talking too much, and hurriedly shook his head, "No way, when you are older, you can't control your mouth." In the past few years, I have suffered severe back pain and rheumatism...... I'm afraid I won't live long, this medicine is harmful, but it can alleviate the pain. Let the Father eat with you. β
Chai Shouli drank half a bowl of water, put the medicine in, and turned around to pour water...... Chai Rong stretched out his finger with difficulty and pointed to the water bowl, "Don't bother, this is fine!" β
Father and son drink the same bowl of water and take the same medicine...... Chai Shouli's face was filled with unprecedented joy, and he wanted to say something, but looking at his son's tired face, he hurriedly said, "You continue to rest, I'll go outside and squint for a while!" β
Chai Shouli just took two steps and turned back, "That'...... When no one is around, we are commensurate with father and son, if someone sees it, it will not be good! β
Chai Rong gave his father a big roll of his eyes, "I'm still the son of heaven!" What is there to be afraid of! β
Chai Shouli grinned, and finally didn't say anything...... In my heart, I secretly calculated, brother-in-law, I'm not sorry for you, he has been your son for twenty years, and there is not much time left, so let our father and son enjoy the joy of family!
β¦β¦
It is said that it is the joy of family, but in fact, there is no cola, although Chai Rong's condition has temporarily stabilized, his physical weakness is visible.
The weather is still warm now, but after autumn, everything is depressed, the grass withers, and the vitality of people will be weakened, and the Etheric Doctors estimate that even in the most optimistic scenario, the Holy Communion will not survive the winter.
Chai Shouli is also old, he still has to take care of his son for three meals and medicine, and the old man has also lost weight...... But even so, he didn't want to give it to others, Chai Shouli was afraid that he wouldn't be able to remember, so he prepared a small notebook, and wrote down what he wanted to do every day to ensure that nothing would go wrong.
He also spared no expense to build a four-wheeled bicycle, a bit like an enlarged stroller, in which Chai Rong could lie in, and there was a shed on it to shade the sun.
Whenever it was sunny and windless, Chai Shouli pushed his son out of the dormitory and went outside...... He pushed it alone, never letting others interfere, even the crown prince Guo Zongxun and the third highness Guo Zongrang, they could only watch from afar.
The two little guys looked at each other and smiled, my father has been busy for so many years, how could he ever have such a comfortable time!
"Go, fetch the kite!"
The two little ones raised the kite and ran in the clearing, a carp and a swallow, soaring upward, flying steadily in mid-air, Chai Shouli squinted his old eyes and smiled happily, just like decades ago, he took his son to fly a kite together...... At that time, he was praying for his mother's blessing.
Chai Shouli suddenly shouted: "Quick, cut the line, the kite flew away, and your father's illness will be cured!" β
Hearing this, Guo Zongxun and Guo Zongrang started together, and quickly tore off the silk thread, and the two kites, fluttering, disappeared into the sky...... The four grandparents and grandchildren, at this moment, seemed to be happy.
Hope is good, but people can't compete with life after all, entering October, Chai Rong's body is getting worse day by day, and sometimes he will even be in a coma for a whole day.
Although I don't want to admit it, everyone knows that the day of the holy funeral is not far away.
Compared with the calm in the palace, it can be said that the thunder is rolling and the cannons are rumbling outside the palace!
Ye Hua never left his hand any longer, all the ministers involved in the rebellion must bear the most cruel sanctions!
Ye Hua first found Zhao Pu...... Since he was sent to the prison, Zhao Pu was in despair at the beginning, did not eat or drink, and was bent on death. But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement, and he suddenly became agitated again!
"Why didn't you interrogate me? Why don't you kill me? β
"Is there a change in the court? Don't you care about me? β
Zhao Pu shouted loudly as if he was crazy, "Who is the current Son of Heaven?" Is Guo Rong dead? Did the surnamed Ye become an emperor? You damned jailers...... Don't think that Zhao is finished, I have great talent, I have protΓ©gΓ©s...... All those officials will listen to me. No matter who becomes emperor, I must be reactivated, and only I can clean up the mess! β
He jumped up from the ground, holding the bowl of clear water, and looked at it carefully, his face was covered with dirt, and he could barely make out the original appearance. The hair was messy, with straw stuck in it and rat droppings.
Zhao Pu suddenly grabbed it angrily, grabbed all the scalps, stained with blood, and was painful and screaming...... He couldn't help but scold, "What about Lu Duoxun? That thief, he took my will to transfer troops, who did he help? Did he make a suggestion to the new monarch that I couldn't use it? Ludoson, you villain! Villain through and through! β
After scolding for a while, Zhao Pu suddenly knelt on the ground again and begged: "Xianggong Lu, Brother Lu, Ancestor Lu!" I don't want anything, leave me a cheap life, let me go to Lingnan, to Luzon, to Tianzhu...... You can go anywhere! β
No matter how he called it or scolded him, no one paid attention to him.
Zhao Pu was really crazy, he was so itchy all over his body that he could only scratch it with his hands, scratching the skin on his chest, and the dirt entered the flesh, and the wound was scratched again before it could heal...... The smell of blood also attracted cockroaches and rats in prison, who came to gnaw on Zhao Pu's flesh.
Within a few days, he was covered in a single piece of skin, and where he had been bitten by rats, it was rotting and pus-draining, emitting a foul-smelling smell.
Zhao Pu was afraid, he felt that this was the taste of death, and he was not far from death.
A husband can't be without power for a day, this is a proverb that Zhao Pu has always believed.
But compared to life, it seems that power is not so important.
Zhao Pu tried hard to recall, was Ye Hua successful in usurping the throne, or did Chai Rong categorically kill the ministers?
In either case, you shouldn't just throw him aside and ignore him!
No one in the Great Zhou Dynasty can do without him, but they can't do without him!
Throwing it aside and leaving it alone is more unbearable than anything else.
Zhao Pu was so exhausted that he almost had only one breath left.
Someone finally came to the prison, the cell door opened, Ye Hua walked in from the outside, he was condescending, looking down at Zhao Pu, who was full of pickles, and shook his head disdainfully, how could a person who dared to rebel have such a poor psychological quality, what a waste!
Zhao Pu raised his head, he rubbed his eyes hard, and finally saw Ye Hua's face clearly, Zhao Pu was suddenly overjoyed!
"Hou Ye, Hou Ye! You win? You've really won! Zhao Pu used all his strength, got up, and knelt on the ground, "The guilty minister knocks on my emperor, may your majesty live long, long live!" β
He couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Your Majesty, is Guo Rong dead?" The sinner knows that sooner or later this world will be His Majesty's...... Also, Lu Duoxun's thief must have waited for the price to sell, he mobilized the forbidden army from outside the city, thinking that with the men, he could do whatever he wanted. Your Majesty don't worry, if you have three inches of anger, you can eradicate Lu Duosun for Your Majesty......"
This guy continued to speak, Ye Hua shook his head slightly, "Zhao Pu, Benjue will tell you now...... Lu Duosun failed to transfer troops, and the saint stepped forward and repelled the rebels, and Lu Duosun, like you, was also a prisoner. and Shen Yilun, Dou Yi, and many of your henchmen, all of whom have been arrested...... This is the largest rebellion case since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and more than tens of thousands of people are involved! β
"Benjue was ordered by the emperor to deal with the case and reorganize the dynasty...... Zhao Pu, I'm here to borrow your head! β
Zhao Pu was suddenly stupid, Ye Hua was still a powerful minister, and the emperor was still alive...... How is this possible? One mountain can't tolerate two tigers! Zhao Pu was completely stunned!
