Chapter 161: Wearing linen and filial piety 1
Wan Zhen'er's hand was clenched very tightly, not at all like the strength that a dying person should have. Zhang Ru struggled slightly, but he didn't break free of the dry hand that was clutching tightly.
Silence, long silence.
Zhang Ru really didn't know how to answer this question, he didn't want to agree, but he couldn't bear to refuse.
The two were deadlocked until Zhu Jianshen came, but there was still no result, and seeing Zhang Ru who was grabbed by Wan Zhen'er, Zhu Jianshen frowned obviously.
Seeing that the emperor's face darkened, the old lady hurriedly lowered her voice and explained to the emperor, and after listening to the explanation, Zhu Jianshen's face eased slightly.
He slowly approached the bed, looking at Wan Guifei on the bed, a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, Wan Guifei's hand loosened, and Zhang Ru quickly withdrew his hand and stepped aside. Zhu Jianshen waved his hand behind him: "You all go out, I and Niangniang will talk alone." ”
After everyone went out, Zhu Jianshen sat down gently, and gently held Wan Zhen'er's hand, which was already skinny, with tears in his eyes: "Zhen'er, hold on!" ”
Wan Zhen'er showed a smile that was no longer good-looking: "Your Majesty, don't be sad, people are inherently dead, and living is just waiting for death, it's not a big deal." Zhen'er is leaving, I can't accompany you anymore, you have to take care of your body and live well. ”
She wanted to reach out and touch Zhu Jianshen's already clear face, but her hand stretched out, but she couldn't reach the emperor's face.
Zhu Jianshen took the initiative to put his face up: "No, you will be fine, I will not let you be fine." Taiyi, Taiyi. ”
Wan Zhen'er took the opportunity to cover Zhu Jianshen's mouth, although she knew that because she was sick, the doctors of the Tai Hospital were all on call in the palace at any time.
But I know that my life has reached the limit, and it is in vain to embarrass those imperial doctors, and I can use the old mountain ginseng of Changbai Mountain to hang my life until this time, and those imperial doctors have also done their duty.
She is a dying person, and there is no need for the emperor to anger other people because she is about to die.
"There's no need to call the doctor, it's useless, the concubine's body The concubine knows it herself. Your Majesty, Zhen'er is very happy to be by your side, and in the next life, I hope to be able to always be by Your Majesty's side. Before leaving, the concubine had a wish, hoping that His Majesty would agree. Wan Zhen'er said calmly.
Zhu Jianshen hurriedly took her hand and said repeatedly: "What wish, you say." ”
Wan Zhen'er said with some resentment: "We don't have children, Youzhu and Huzi have been against the concubines since they were children, and the concubines know that in their hearts, the concubines have always been wicked. But the two children were raised by the concubines, no matter what they thought of the concubines, the concubines regarded them as their own children in their hearts. Your Majesty has concubines."
Zhu Jianshen blocked Wan Zhen'er's mouth with his hand: "What do you want them to do." ”
Wan Zhen'er looked at Zhu Jianshen very seriously: "The concubine has no heirs, and if she doesn't want to die, she won't even have someone to send her to the end, so you won't force the concubine, the concubine is not the queen, there is no reason to let the prince of the dynasty wear linen and filial piety." The concubine only wanted that after death, Huzi would be able to wear filial piety for the concubine. ”
This request made Zhu Jianshen a little embarrassed.
Others don't know how hostile the two children are to Wan Zhen'er, but he knows best.
So many assassinations against the prince, so many times Zhang Ru almost died, although now Wan Zhen'er is terminally ill, Zhang Ru and Zhu Youzhu have also grown up, it is not a simple matter to let the two children who are full of stubbornness in their bones bow their heads.
There are some things he can't let Wan Zhen'er say because he is also afraid.
The emperor naturally has the emperor's own thoughts, and some ideas cannot be known to anyone except those closest to him, and even some things that his closest people cannot say, once they are said, it will cause a catastrophe for the ages.
"Did Huzi himself agree?" Zhu Jianshen asked tentatively.
Facing Wan Zhen'er, who was about to leave, Zhu Jianshen really couldn't say some words of refusal.
Wan Zhen'er shook her head with difficulty: "He didn't say he was willing, nor did he say he was unwilling." ”
Zhu Jianshen said: "This matter must be agreed by himself." ”
Zhang Ru's temper, Zhu Jianshen has been taught, and it is the first time he has seen a courtier who can tell the emperor that I am not doing it for a woman.
In addition, now Zhang Ru is still a lonely minister in the court, and he has the ability to have a backstage, and he is reluctant to let Zhang Ru leave, he is a little afraid, afraid that Zhang Ru will ask for Zhishi here because of his unreasonable request.
Wan Zhen'er closed her eyes, her breathing gradually became short, and she didn't even have time to answer, so she coughed violently.
Zhu Jian panicked and hurriedly called the imperial doctor.
The imperial doctors who had been waiting outside the door hurriedly pushed open the door and ran into Wan Zhen'er's bedroom, and the imperial doctor didn't care about the identity problem, grabbed Wan Zhen'er's hand and immediately began to take the pulse.
The white-bearded old man frowned, felt the beating from his fingers, and then let go and knelt on his knees: "There is nothing the minister can do. ”
Zhu Jianshen sat down on the bed in a dejected manner, the strength in his body seemed to be drained, and the whole person seemed to be ten years old at this moment.
He was already in a little bad health, and he had taken a lot of poisonous pills before, and basically when the oil ran out and the lamp dried up, this big ups and downs knocked him down in an instant.
The two imperial doctors hurriedly checked the pulse of the emperor, pinched people and poured hot water, and finally pulled the emperor back who was like a mourner.
Wan Zhen'er's eyes had opened at some point, and Zhu Jianshen couldn't bear to see this scene, so he reached out and touched the latter's eyes.
However, when his hand left the eyelids of Wan Zhen'er, who was already dead, those eyes miraculously opened again.
Zhang Ru also entered Wan Zhen'er's dormitory with the people outside, and it was okay for others to go in, as soon as he entered, Emperor Zhu Jianshen split his head and covered his face with a reprimand: "Huzi, kneel down." ”
Zhang Ru, who had an inexplicable face, straightened his waist and had no intention of kneeling, and looked at the emperor with stunned eyes, as if waiting for his explanation.
Zhu Jianshen, who couldn't hold it on his face, shouted sharply: "I asked you to kneel." ”
Zhang Ru knelt on one knee and saluted as always: "Minister Zhang Ru, see Your Majesty." ”
Zhu Jianshen said: "I don't want you to kneel to me, but to let you kneel to the concubine." ”
Get on your knees? Zhang Ru shook his head and refused without thinking about it: "The minister is unwilling." ”
Zhu Jianshen's eyes became cold: "I'm not asking you, I'm asking you." ”
"If Your Majesty must kneel down, please forgive the ministers for disrespecting the order." Zhang Ru is categorical.
He has always been a master who eats soft and does not eat hard, if you are kind to persuade me, then I will kneel down, if you threaten, then I'm sorry, Lao Tzu has a head, you take it.
After knowing that the emperor could not kill himself because of this kind of thing, Zhang Ru seemed a little fearless.
"Come on, pull this disobedient and unfilial dog down to me, beat, beat hard." Zhu Jian was furious and shouted at the palace guards outside.
These palace guards were nominally subordinate to the Jinyi Weibei Zhenfu Division, but under normal circumstances, they only waited for the emperor's dispatch, even if Zhang Ru was the commander of the Jinyi Guard, they could not be called.
Several palace guards ran in to see that it was their nominal boss who was kneeling on the ground, and saw the emperor's angry face, so he had no choice but to arrest Zhang Ru.
Zhang Ru didn't resist, and let the two guards pick him up and drag him outside.
After the gang left, Zhu Jianshen beckoned Liang Fang: "This kid is a bull temper, Lao Liang, you take someone to persuade him, if you can, try not to fight, even if he refuses to bow his head and wants to fight, don't fight a bad fight." ”
It was the palace guards who pulled people, they didn't dare to beat Zhang Ru to a good place, but it was the fans of Dongchang who beat people, without the instructions from above, and the emperor's golden mouth, no one dared to guarantee that those Dongchang fans who hated Zhang Ru would not kill Zhang Ru.
Liang Fang walked out quickly, and soon caught up with several palace guards who were walking slowly with Zhang Ru, and after blocking their way, Liang Fang lowered his voice and persuaded with good words: "Lord Zhang, Your Majesty is angry now, why should you fight for this moment!" Listen to our family's advice, go back and admit your mistake to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will not do anything to you. ”
Zhang Ru saw through Liang Fang's thoughts at a glance, and said mercilessly: "Your Majesty asked you to come!" Father-in-law Liang, Zhang is not an iron-clad man, but there are some things that he really can't do. Trouble the father-in-law to go back and tell His Majesty that Zhang Ru suffered this court staff, even if he died, Zhang Ru had no regrets. ”
"Alas. Why are you so axial, Your Majesty can't get off the stage for a while, and he doesn't really want to make a court rod on you. Liang Fang was so anxious that she jumped to her feet, and she knew in her heart that she couldn't be angry in front of this master.
This cautious master, if he really makes him hold a grudge, maybe he will have to give himself little shoes to wear at some point.
Don't look at Liang Fang's current scenery, but that's because the emperor is Zhu Jianshen, the emperor's health is not very good, and now Wan Zhen'er is gone again, maybe one day he will have to drive the crane west.
When the time comes, without the emperor's big backer, he will not have the energy to fight with Zhang Ru.
Zhang Ru didn't say a word, let the two guards press him on, and when he arrived at the execution site, he lay down on the stool very nakedly, lifted the back hem of the bullfighting suit, and said very curiously: "Come on!" ”
The end of the cane made of chestnut wood is cut into a mallet, and it is covered with an iron sheet, and there are barbs on the iron sheet.
Liang Fang was here, and the execution eunuch who got the signal naturally didn't dare to open his toes to fight hard, let alone close his toes to fight with his heart. I had to put my feet level and hit it lightly.
The first stick went down, Zhang Ru gasped, feeling that his ass was not his own, this is still the mercy of those executioners, if he really offends people, this time according to his waist and eyes, and then he will be pulled by the trend, it won't take a few strokes, he will have to burp.
Rao is already merciful, more than a dozen sticks went down, Zhang Ru's ass also bloomed, but the thunder and rain did not stop, and there was still a little scratch on Zhang Ru's buttocks.
Zhu Jianshen, who followed from afar, saw this scene and turned his head to see it.
After another dozen or so strokes, Zhu Jianshen couldn't help it, strode forward, stretched out his hand to stop the eunuch who was still executing, and said condescendingly: "The last wish of the concubine is to let you wear linen and filial piety for her, are you willing." ”
