"Your Excellency, you must be calm!"

Xu Liang was woken up in his sleep, and then Huang Daozhou, the imperial historian of the capital, repeatedly persuaded himself to be cold. Shen Congliang, the young master of Guanglu Temple, also looked at Xu Liang with worried eyes.

This made Xu Liang even more dazed, sat up from the bed, glared at Huang Daozhou, and said seriously: "Daozhou, I'm really calm now, just say it, and have any bad news to tell me." ”

Huang Daozhou moved his mouth, looked unbearable, turned his head to Shen Congliang and said, "Lord Shen, let's talk about it." ”

"Huh? I...... I said it wasn't appropriate, right? It's better for Lord Huang to say it. Shen Congliang was entangled, and pushed back and forth with Huang Daozhou.

Xu Liang was furious, glared at Shen Congliang and shouted, "Is it over?" What the hell is going on? Shen Congliang, you say! ”

"It's rumored outside, saying that your lord broke into the bedroom of Yi'an Niangniang in Ciqing Palace last night and stayed in the palace for a night......"

Before Shen Congliang finished speaking, Xu Liang stood up on the ground and looked at Shen Congliang in disbelief: "What did you say?" ”

Shen Congliang pointed outside and whispered, "My lord, it's spread outside." ”

"Who is it! Who did this to you! Xu Liang was furious, screamed indignantly, and turned around twice in the room like a headless fly, and suddenly saw Huang Daozhou and Shen Congliang looking at him with wide eyes.

"Great, my lord, is this, is this true?" Huang Daozhou couldn't even speak, and his eyes were both shocked and admired.

Xu Liang paused, stomped his feet and said hatefully: "Things are not what you imagined!" Damn, who's spreading rumors! ”

Suddenly recalled the words of the Cabinet Minister Wen Tiren in the early dynasty. Deng Shi scolded Wen Tiren for being despicable and shameless.

Xu Liang's performance convinced Huang Daozhou and Shen Congliang that Xu Liang was indeed staying in Ciqing Palace last night. The two of them looked at Xu Liang dumbfounded, greeting Wen someone's ancestor for the eighteenth generation without any image.

Shen Congliang suddenly found that his situation was the most embarrassing at the moment. Originally, he thought that as the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple. Hearing the rumors outside that it was unfavorable to the top boss, he rushed to the Dongjiang Courtyard with the idea of being loyal to Xu Liang and patting his ass.

Shen Congliang thought about it on the way here, and he wanted to show the same hatred in front of his boss, and profoundly condemn the shameless behavior of some people in the court, so as to show Boss Xu that I, Shen Congliang, firmly stand on the side of Lord Xu and believe that Lord Xu is innocent.

However, the premise of all this is that Xu Liang was indeed framed. Looking at this situation now, it seems. It seems that, well, it is very possible that Xu Liang did something that cannot be done to outsiders last night.

That's not fun!

The most taboo thing for officials in the court is to be entangled with the harem. Lord Shen just wanted to hug Xu Liang's big tree to enjoy the shade, and he was not ready to advance and retreat with Xu Liang.

The land of right and wrong should not be stayed for a long time! So, Shen Congliang waited for Xu Liang to scold Wen Tiren and get tired. He bowed his hand in a daze, and left in a hurry under the pretext that there was an urgent matter at home.

Shen Congliang's departure made Xu Liang very sad. Stunned to see Shen Congliang leave in a hurry as if hiding from a debt, Xu Liang said sadly: "The wind knows the strength of the grass, and the board knows the loyal ministers...... Shen Congliang is this person. Don't be convinced! ”

Huang Daozhou didn't care about Shen Congliang's departure. He looked at Xu Liang with adoring eyes and sighed, "My lord." You're awesome! That's Queen Yi'an! When Xia Guan was still Hanlin Xiu, I had the pleasure of seeing it a few times, and it was as beautiful as a fairy! ”

Huang Daozhou sighed to himself, and he didn't know whether to praise Xu Liang's courage or Zhang Yan's beauty. Xu Liang glared at Huang Daozhou, shook his hand and said, "Don't think about it, what should I do now?" ”

"It is said that Empress Yi'an is not yet thirty years old? It seems like it's only twenty-four or five, right? Huang Daozhou muttered to himself, not noticing that Xu Liang's face was getting darker and darker.

"Zodiac Week!" Xu Liang shouted fiercely, his eyes narrowed, full of murderous aura.

Huang Daozhou immediately woke up, solemnly saluted Xu Liang, pushed his heart to Xu Liang, and said sincerely: "My lord, according to the lower officials, this matter is definitely framed by Elder Wen Ge. Now it has spread throughout the Forbidden City, and if you want to clarify something, it will only get darker and darker, and nothing will happen. ”

Xu Liang rubbed his eyebrows and sighed: "Of course I know this. Naturally, I wouldn't be so stupid as to stand on the street and shout that I was wronged. What I want to ask is, how do we fight back! ”

Huang Daozhou thought for a moment before frowning and said slowly: "Wen Tiren's trick is really good. In all dynasties, getting involved in the harem is a big crime of raiding the house and destroying the door. Wen Tiren put out the rumors, sooner or later they will reach the ears of the emperor, this kind of matter that is related to the face of the royal family, the emperor will definitely order a strict investigation! What's worse is that your place last night was indeed a big problem, my lord. Where were you last night, as long as Jinyiwei investigates, he will be able to investigate immediately. When the time comes, the yellow mud will fall into the crotch of the pants, and it will be either or. ”

This is the worst part of Xu Liang, obviously he was framed, he hid in the beam of the house all day, and he didn't do anything bad, and there was a danger of raiding his house and destroying the door!

Xu Liang blinked his eyes and said, "Is there any way to keep the emperor from knowing about this?" ”

Huang Daozhou looked at Xu Liang like an idiot, and asked helplessly: "My lord, can you stop the mouths of the courtiers?" ”

Xu Liang also understood that he had asked an idiotic question, so he shut up, looked at Huang Daozhou with blank eyes, and urged him to come up with an idea with his eyes.

Huang Daozhou lowered his head and thought hard for a while, then suddenly looked at Xu Liang and said in a quiet tone: "Although Wen Ge Lao's killing move is at stake, it is actually not difficult to crack it. ”

"Did you think of that?"

Huang Daozhou nodded slowly and said, "If Elder Wen Ge's killing move wants to work, it must be established under the premise that the emperor will be angry and strictly investigate this matter. If you can make the emperor dissipate his anger, turn big things into small things, and turn small things into small things, then Wen Ge Lao will not be lethal no matter how happy he is. ”

When Xu Liang heard this, he suddenly realized, rubbed his hands happily, and nodded again and again: "Not bad." This is like a lawsuit, Wen Tiren is the plaintiff, he wants to accuse me of trespassing into the palace and plotting to be treacherous, but if even Emperor Chongzhen, the bitter master, does not want to pursue the charges, then this case will not be tried. Hey, hey, wonderful! ”

Xu Liang was happy for a while. Then asked Huang Daozhou with a bitter face: "Do you think the emperor will be angry?" ”

Huang Daozhou shook his head honestly, "Xia Guan doesn't know. ”

Xu Liang did not give up. He asked, "If it were you in the same place, what would I do to dissipate your anger?" ”

Huang Daozhou was stunned. glanced at Xu Liang, under Xu Liang's encouraging gaze, he looked up and thought for a while, and muttered: "If there is a young and beautiful sister-in-law who lives alone in the Xiaguan family, and one night a disciple breaks into the sister-in-law's room and stays overnight......

Huang Daozhou looked at Xu Liang in embarrassment, and said honestly: "I will dismantle the disciple of Nadeng!" ”

Xu Liang stared at Huang Daozhou with puffed eyes for a long time, and reiterated again weakly: "I'm not a disciple!" ”

The time is ticking. Xu Liang got down from the carriage, carrying a black cloth bag in his hand, looked up at the heavy palace in front of him, clamped the cloth bag under his arm, and walked towards the noon gate.

The palace guards on duty recognized this Guanglu Temple Secretary, but when they saw that Xu Liang was still carrying a strip-shaped black cloth bag, which was tightly wrapped outside, in order to consider the safety of the palace, the captain on duty politely stopped Xu Liang.

"Lord Xu. Are you going to enter the palace? ”

"This official has something important to face the saint."

The lieutenant's eyes fell on the cloth bag, and he sneered: "You are in this cloth bag...... What is it? ”

"Oh, you say this?" Xu Liang took the cloth bag in his hand and said seriously: "It's not a rare play." It's just a piece of wood. ”

"Hehe, Lord Xu is really good at laughing." The school captain laughed, and the dignified Guanglu Temple entered the palace to face the saint. Will it be a piece of wood? Still wrapped so tightly?

The lieutenant sneered, blocking Xu Liang in front of him without the slightest intention of giving in.

The lieutenant would never have believed that the bread there was a piece of wood.

"Must you open the check?" Xu Liang asked helplessly.

"Where is the duty of the lowly duty. Please don't be embarrassed. The lieutenant said, his tone becoming serious.

Xu Liang smiled indifferently. The cloth bag was thrown to the lieutenant.

With the cloth wrapped heavily in his hand, the captain looked vigilant, put the cloth bag on the ground, clenched the knife in one hand, and reached out to untie the cloth bag.

Suddenly, the lieutenant withdrew his hand and shouted to one of the guards behind him, "Open the bag." ”

The guard was stunned for a moment, secretly said that he was unlucky, stepped forward with a bitter face, and went to untie the cloth bag with trembling hands. Seeing that the situation was not quite right, the guards on duty stepped forward and surrounded Xu Liang, apparently to prevent Xu Liang from escaping.

The cloth bag was originally a slipknot, although the guards were careful and careful, but after a while, the cloth bag was finally untied. The lieutenant and the guards saw the contents of the cloth bag clearly, and their faces immediately looked as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

"Can the captain see clearly?" Xu Liang stood leisurely and asked with a chuckle.

The lieutenant looked at Xu Liang strangely for a long time, nodded awkwardly, and quickly tied up the cloth bag, patted the dust off it, and put it back into Xu Liang's hand in embarrassment.

"Ahem, Lord Xu is offended. You please, you please! ”

Xu Liang raised his chin, didn't look at the guards, took the cloth bag and strode towards the Heart Cultivation Palace, walking steadily.

At noon, the guard in charge of unpacking the cloth bag asked the captain in surprise: "Boss, has the atmosphere changed now?" Can even wood be given as a gift? ”

The captain was so angry that he hit the guard's head with a violent shudder, and seeing the guard covering his head and looking at himself aggrievedly, the captain scolded: "You pig brain?!" ”

Xu Liang came to the outside of the Heart Cultivation Hall smoothly, and happened to see Gonggong Du, who was the celebrant supervisor, coming out of it, so Xu Liang stepped forward and shouted: "Gonggong Du, this official has something important to meet the emperor, please pass it on." ”

Du's eyes were very strange when he saw Xu Liang, and he was surprised and admired. In the capital, rumors about the Lord Xu breaking into Ciqing Palace in front of him have already spread into the palace.

"Lord Xu, you are unlucky, the emperor is not in the Heart Cultivation Palace at the moment." Du Gong is fair.

"Oh? Where is the holy driver, please ask your father-in-law to bring the official there. This official has 100,000 urgent matters to report to the emperor. Xu Liang said anxiously.

Du's father-in-law glanced at Xu Liang, and secretly said that of course our family knows that you have 100,000 urgent things! nodded at the moment and led Xu Liang to see the emperor.

The two walked through the palace, and on the way, Duke Du saw that there was no one around, so he whispered to Xu Liang: "Lord Xu, the emperor is in a very bad mood, you should be careful when you see the emperor." ”

Xu Liang sighed lightly, looked at Gonggong Du gratefully, and said, "This official understands. As he spoke, he handed over a minot of silver in his right hand.

"There's Father-in-law Laudu."

Du Gonggong took the silver and put it into his arms without a trace.

Immediately, Xu Liang saw the palace plaque in front of him, and once again confirmed that Emperor Chongzhen was indeed in a very bad mood.

Because, the destination that Dugong brought himself to was Ciqing Palace, where Empress Yi'an lived. And on both sides of the palace gate, there were two rows of palace guards with fierce expressions, and it seemed that there were quite a few people inside.

Du Gongcheng was about to lead Xu Liang in, but suddenly found that Xu Liang did not follow, and couldn't help but look back at him strangely.

I saw Xu Liang untie the package he was carrying, and then under the surprised eyes of Gonggong Du and the guards, he unhurriedly equipped it.

"Dugong Du, please go in and say that Xu Liang, the secretary of Guanglu Temple, is here." Xu Liang put the contents of the bag on his back, looked at Gonggong Du, who had already looked straight in the eyes, and said.

Gonggong Du was stunned for a long time before he answered, and went into the Ciqing Palace in a panic to report.

In Ciqing Palace, Emperor Chongzhen's face was pale, and his eyes were eager to kill. On the side, Queen Yi'an Zhang Yan sat at the head of the bed and couldn't stop shedding tears. Empress Zhou sat on the side and whispered comfort. The palace maids and eunuchs waiting in the palace lowered their heads in unison, staring at the ground within a foot of their feet, and did not dare to make a sound.

The celebrant Bingbi Wang Chengen stood beside Emperor Chongzhen, looked at the two maidens, and then looked at Emperor Chongzhen's face, and sighed in his heart: Lord Xu is afraid that he will not be able to get over this time.

Duke Du walked in cautiously at this time, saw Emperor Chongzhen's face like the bottom of a black pot, and hesitantly reported: "Your Majesty, Guanglu Temple Qing Xu ......"

Emperor Chongzhen shouted: "I don't see anyone now!! ”

Gonggong Du was frightened, hurriedly shrank his head, and obediently retreated carefully.

"Wait, who did you just say?" After Emperor Chongzhen finished drinking, he suddenly remembered that something was wrong, and hurriedly drank Du's father-in-law and asked.

Dugong shuddered and said, "It's Lord Xu of Guanglu Temple who is asking to see him outside the palace." ”

"Hey!" When Emperor Chongzhen ascended, it was as if he had found an enemy of life and death, he sneered, rolled his arms and sleeves, and shouted outward: "Tell him to get in!" ”

Empress Zhou walked over with Zhang Yan and stood behind Emperor Chongzhen. Queen Zhou's willow eyebrows were upside down, and she sneered: "He still dares to come!" Hongu wants to see what he is!! ”

Empress Yi'an Zhang Yan wiped the tears on her face with a handkerchief, tried her best to stop her tears, her eyes fell in the direction of the palace gate, and she was annoyed: Damn Xu Liang, don't you think the palace is embarrassing enough!

After a while, Emperor Chongzhen and others saw Xu Liang staggering, ran in with a sad expression, and when they saw Emperor Chongzhen and others, they knelt down and bowed: "Weichen Guanglu Temple Qing Xu Liang knocked to see the emperor, knocked to see the queen's mother, knocked to see Yi'an Niangniang!" Weichen is a capital offense! ”

As Xu Liang kowtowed, the wood on his back slipped forward according to inertia with Xu Liang's movements, and with a bang, one end of the wood hit the ground, and the other end was still hanging on Xu Liang's back, shaking gently.

Be quiet! The hall was silent! Emperor Chongzhen and the two maidens, the palace maids in the palace, and the eunuchs all looked at Xu Liang in amazement.

Wang Chengen was shocked and asked, "Hey, Lord Xu, what are you doing with half a piece of firewood on your back?" (To be continued.) )
