At the sound of the voice, a fast horse rushed straight from the back of the road, and stood at the head of the horse in front of the prisoner's cart, and the knight stood on his horse with his head held high, and cried out: "The decree has arrived!" ”

This shout was like a magic, and the originally noisy court immediately quieted down, and the escorted soldiers knelt down first, followed by the people watching the excitement, and even the Tsing Yi guard who was about to squeeze forward quietly stopped and knelt down.

The superintendent and the superintendent Shi Junsheng walked in front of the knight with a surprised look on his face, and fell to his knees.

"The Holy Lord's Message: Xu Liang of Zhenyuan Zhixian County privately trained soldiers and horses, plotted to rebel, the evidence of the crime is insufficient, and he will be remanded for retrial, Qin this!"

Xu Liang's mind boomed, and it was blank for an instant, and then he was surprised inexplicably, and he couldn't help laughing, but his voice was hoarse at the moment, and the laughter he made was also like being choked by his throat, and he could only make a great sound.

The surprise of Shi Junsheng, who supervised the imperial history, was definitely no less than Xu Liang, he got up blankly, and asked the knight in disbelief: "Is this really the meaning of the saint?" ”

The knight changed color in disbelief and shouted: "Bold, Your Majesty, how can you tolerate doubts!" ”

Shi Yushi thought quickly in his mind, and felt remorse in his heart, this holy decree came at such an inopportune time, seeing that Xu Liang was about to lose his head, but the holy decree arrived. It seems that what Han Shizi confessed can't be done. Thinking of the ruthlessness of the prince of Han Wang, Shi Yu Shi Shengsheng shuddered, and then raised his head, his face was white and blue for a while, and he was uncertain, and suddenly a trace of ruthlessness flashed on his face.

He stood up, pointed at the knight, and shouted, "Don't listen to this man's nonsense......"

Shi Yushi's voice snapped in the heavy footsteps behind the knight. Two teams of brightly clad brocade guards rushed over, and in the blink of an eye, they surrounded the prisoner cart holding Xu Liang, and then two more carriages rumbled towards and stopped.

First, a middle-aged eunuch jumped out of a carriage. Shi Yushi fixed his eyes and couldn't help but be taken aback again, and hurriedly greeted him and said: "Shi Junsheng, the subordinate supervising imperial history, has seen the prince. Why did my father-in-law come in person? As he spoke, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Shi Yushi's back. Secret road, it's so dangerous.

Wang Chengen hummed lightly, stood and straightened his clothes first, then turned around and looked at Xu Liang in the prisoner car, and asked Shi Yushi: "This person is Xu Liang of Zhenyuan Zhixian County?" ”

Shi Yushi bent his waist, nodded with a smile, and said, "Father-in-law has good eyesight, this is Xu Liang." ”

Wang Chengen nodded and waved his right hand. Said lightly: "Come on, get him to the carriage behind him, and follow our family into the palace." ”

Wang Chengen came and went quickly, and after settling Xu Liang in the carriage, he waved his hand and led a group of brocade guards to leave in a hurry. There was only the dust that had not yet fallen to the ground and the empty prisoner cart, which could still prove that the prince had really come.

At this time, the soldiers and civilians kneeling around the court got up one after another. When the people saw that there was no excitement to see, they dispersed. Shi Yushi stood in place for a long time in despair, waiting for the soldiers of the Soldiers and Horses Division to close. He came back to his senses, sighed, and walked away lonely.

Wang Chengen escorted Xu Liang into the harem and arrived at the noon gate. You will no longer be allowed to ride in a horse-drawn carriage. waved his hand and beckoned the four little eunuchs, escorted Xu Liang down from the carriage, and the two escorted him to the Qianqing Palace to meet Emperor Chongzhen.

After walking for a while, the prince turned around impatiently and shouted, "Lord Xu, you should go faster, Your Majesty is already in a hurry." ”

Xu Liang's hands and feet were bound by iron chains, and the wounds on his buttocks had not healed, several wounds had been torn, and his white prison uniform was stained with blood. With each step, it hurts.

Xu Liang arched his hand and smiled bitterly: "Princess." It's not that Xu doesn't want to go faster, it's really an old injury that hasn't healed. I can't get up fast if I want to. ”

Wang Gonggong frowned and watched Xu Liang move forward step by step like a wounded penguin, hissing in pain, and couldn't help shouting at the four eunuchs: "You four, carry him away." ”

This time, the speed was much faster, and Xu Liang was much easier. He was set up by four eunuchs, his feet did not touch the ground, and he rushed to the Qianqing Palace with the speed of the prince, while looking at the palace, thinking that his case was recalled by the emperor for retrial, and most of them would not be able to die. Thinking of picking up a life, under the huge contrast, my heart was much more relaxed, and I began to look at the inner courtyard of the palace with a sigh.

It's fucking big!

The emperor had already had breakfast at this time, and was being commanded by Jinyiwei to accompany Luo Yangxing and Qiao Yunsheng, the secretary of the criminal department, to chat. Hearing that Wang Chengen reported that Xu Liang, the original magistrate of Zhenyuan, had been rescued from the law field, and was waiting for the decree outside the palace, the emperor was still in a good mood, so he announced that Liang Jin would see him.

Xu Liang carefully raised his feet and stepped over the threshold about half a foot high, endured the pain, grinned and moved step by step to the middle of the hall, glanced at the emperor sitting on the top, then knelt down, inhaled the cool air, endured the pain and said loudly: "The dying person Xu Liang see His Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Every time Xu Liang said long live, he knelt down and bowed, and after shouting three long live, he was already in a cold sweat.

The emperor's voice came leisurely from the wide dragon chair above: "You are Xu Liang, raise your head and let me see." ”

Xu Liang bowed to the ground and kowtowed: "The sinner doesn't dare." ”

Chongzhen said: "I ordered you to raise your head." ”

When Xu Liang heard this, he slowly raised his head, looked at Emperor Chongzhen who was sitting on the dragon chair, and when he met Chongzhen's gaze, he hurriedly went wrong, and looked at the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty carefully, but he saw that he was about twenty years old, his body was slightly thin, and he could not support the dragon robe under the gorgeous dragon robe, his forehead was slightly high, his eye sockets were sunken, and there was a slight circle of dark circles around him, which must be due to excessive indulgence at night. Isn't it said that there are 3,000 beauties in the harem, and the iron rod is sharpened into an embroidery needle, it's just this kind of person.

Xu Liang secretly couldn't help but speculate viciously. This is the first impression given to Xu Liang by Emperor Chongzhen.

When Xu Liang was secretly observing Chongzhen, Chongzhen was also carefully observing Xu Liang. Xu Liang's youth also surprised Chongzhen. The official residence is the seventh grade, and he actually looks white and young than his own emperor! Moreover, he looks relatively thin, and the white prison uniform top looks loose on Xu Liang's body, well, his face is also handsome......

There was silence in the hall for a moment.

Emperor Chongzhen coughed lightly, and waved his hand to Qiao Yunsheng, the commander of the Jinyi Guard who was accompanying him, and said, "Luo Aiqing and Qiao Aiqing should step back first, I want to ask Xu Liang a few things." ”

"Yes, the ministers are leaving."

The emperor spoke. Commander Luo and Qiao Shangshu retreated very interestingly.

Xu Liang obviously felt that when the two of them went out, their eyes stayed on him for a moment.

"I heard that you still have wounds on your body. It's hard to kneel, why do you have to make such a big gift when you see me? Chongzhen's gaze fell on the corners of Xu Liang's slightly pursed mouth. Asked probingly.

Xu Liang kowtowed again, and when he looked up again, his eyes were already teary, and his voice was choked, "Back to Your Majesty, the criminal minister has been able to become an official as a mere person, and the official is the seventh grade, and he is in charge of the government." This qiē is the first emperor and the emperor's discernment, the emperor's grace is vast, and the guilty ministers are always grateful in their hearts, and their long-cherished wish is that one day, they can see the face of heaven. Seeing the emperor today, even if he wants to die immediately, the minister must perform this bowing bow and shout long live. A small injury is nothing. ”

"Oh?" Emperor Chongzhen smiled slightly. Then he snorted coldly, "You are also well-behaved, and you know that only I can forgive your sins in the whole world." So you make up these nonsense to trick me, hmph, do you think this is useful to me? ”

Xu Liang was aggrieved, kowtowed as if he didn't want money, knocked several more, and then raised his head, his forehead was already red, and he said aggrievedly: "The emperor is smart and wise, wise and martial, and at the beginning of his accession to the throne, he effortlessly cleaned up the traitor Wei Zhongxian." Daming clapped his hands up and down. The sinner knows that in front of the emperor. Any scheming, conspiracy and conspiracy are superfluous. Invalid. However, what the criminal said came from the bottom of his heart, and he did not dare to deceive in the slightest. If the emperor doesn't believe it, I will, I will ......"

"How are you going?" Emperor Chongzhen followed suit, his eyes were like electricity, staring at Xu Liang.

Xu Liang glanced around, then pointed to a pillar and shouted, "I will crash to death on this pillar." With that, he got up suddenly, shouted, and slammed straight towards the pillar, only to hear a dull sound, Xu Liang suddenly felt that the sky was spinning, and he staggered two steps, and suddenly licked a slightly salty smell from the corner of his mouth, and then his eyes rolled white, and he fell straight backwards.

God, don't really kill Lao Tzu! At the last moment of fainting, Xu Liang shouted from the bottom of his heart.

Chongzhen stood up from the dragon chair and looked at Xu Liang who fell to the ground in surprise. Wang Chengen had already hurried over, put his hand on the tip of Xu Liang's nose for a while, and said respectfully to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, Xu Liang has fainted." ”

Emperor Chongzhen came down from above, came to Xu Liang's side, frowned and looked at the blood gushing out of Xu Liang's head, smiled, shook his head and said: "What's the matter with this person, I didn't say I didn't believe him, what are you doing in such a hurry to hit the wall!" ”

Wang Chengen quietly looked at Chongzhen's face, and saw that his mouth was slightly raised, so he smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this Xu Liang is at best a person, no better than those Jinshi Zhuangyuanlang with the title of the gold list, he has seen the emperor during the palace test, he is a half-hung official who has never entered Beijing, it is estimated that he has been reading the sage book for a few years, and there are only some foolish thoughts in his mind. ”

Emperor Chongzhen's gaze stayed on Xu Liang's bloodstained, angular face, and sighed faintly: "If I am an official of the Ming Dynasty, everyone is as stupid and loyal as him...... and said to Wang Chengen: "Drag it down, find a doctor to bandage him." ”

"Yes." Wang Chengen responded, and commanded several eunuchs to drag Xu Liang out of the Qianqing Palace like a dead pig and a dead dog, and asked the imperial doctor to bandage him.

Chongzhen stared at the puddle of blood dragged out of the ground in a daze, which was the blood oozing from the wound on Xu Liang's buttocks, which had been smeared on the ground through guò prison clothes when he was dragged out by the eunuch, extending from the pillar to the outside of the hall. Wang Chengen entered the hall and saw Chongzhen's eyes fall on the bloodstains, so he hurriedly asked someone to fetch water to wash the bloodstains away.

Wang Chengen was directing the eunuchs and palace maids under him to be busy, and suddenly heard Emperor Chongzhen faintly calling: "Chengen, then Xu Liang will be sent out of the palace when he wakes up after being bandaged, well, he is injured all over his body, most of them are unable to walk, you let people carry him out of the palace." ”

"Huh." Wang Chengen responded softly, and asked Emperor Chongzhen again, "Your Majesty, are you still sent back to the Imperial Prison?" ”

Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "Don't go to the edict, find a place for him to recuperate with peace of mind." His accusation of treason is over and no one can discuss it anymore. (To be continued)
