The third update, ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly pass!
————
Zhang Rang received the edict and went straight to the court, Queen Song has been locked up here for a few days, but she is very calm, except for the absence of the queen's crown dress on her body, she can't see any difference from being in the Jiaofang Palace. www.biquge.info After Zhang Rang finished passing the edict, Empress Song still sat there calmly. Zhang Rang was a little surprised, his arrogance was a little restrained for a while, and he was stunned for a while before asking, "Song, don't you receive the edict?" ”
The corners of Empress Song's mouth provoked a contemptuous smile: "There are Laojun Shrine and Futu Shrine in the palace for a long time, and Your Majesty often worships the shrine in person. The concubines were not convinced and did not dare to suffer this disorderly fate. ”
Zhang Rang raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Song, what are you pretending to be confused, do you have to tell people what you have done?" Your Majesty has saved you some face, why can't you save some face for Your Majesty? ”
Queen Song raised her head, looked at Zhang Rang without showing weakness, and suddenly laughed: "Zhang Changshi, how fast to change your face, a few days ago, Zhang Changshi also went to the Jiaofang Hall to ask for warmth, at that time, have you ever seen the concubine have any shameless behavior?" ”
Zhang Rang was speechless for a while. A few days ago, he did show favor to Queen Song, but who would have thought that she would have such a thing with Liu Xiu. He was a little annoyed and angry, his white bearded face trembled, and a pair of fish bubble eyes narrowed so that only two slits remained.
"Song, do you think you can escape if you don't admit your guilt?"
Empress Song was neither humble nor arrogant, and her tone was as calm as ever: "I ask myself if I am innocent with General Wei, and I have never done anything wrong." Someone covets power and traps me in filth, I am just a weak woman, how dare I hope to escape? But. It's not a pity for me to die, but the emperor's concubine is His Majesty's bloodline, if he dies because of this, His Majesty bears the name of killing his son, and in the next hundred years, I am afraid that he will not be able to face the ancestors and ancestors. Ladies and gentlemen, aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will wake up and treat you and others in vain. Is it a sin of divisiveness? ”
Zhang Rang saw that she was righteous and strict, and she didn't look weak at all, and he was a little uneasy for a while. Empress Song is right, the Son of Heaven is almost thirty years old this year. The last few generations of the Son of Heaven have died in their thirties, the Son of Heaven is not in good health, he has just vomited blood, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not die young, and he now only has two sons. The most favorite is the emperor's concubine Liu Xie, if there is a slight mistake in this matter, Liu Xie will die in vain, and the Son of Heaven will find out that it is an unjust case in the future. The Son of Heaven will definitely kill a few of them to vent his anger.
However, the blood combination secret technique was confirmed to be correct, and Liu Xie was obviously Liu Xiu's species. It has nothing to do with the Son of Heaven, can this still be wrong?
But what if it's wrong?
Zhang Rang rolled his eyes. slowed down his tone: "No matter what, you used to be the queen, since you feel wronged and refuse to accept the edict, then you can state your reasons, and I will transfer it to Your Majesty on your behalf. ”
Empress Song bowed slightly: "Thank you Zhang Changshi." However, the concubines are stupid and wronged, and they don't know how to justify, but Your Majesty is Shengming and General Wei is wise, they will definitely be able to distinguish black and white and return my reputation. ”
Zhang Rang pulled the corners of his mouth silently, and turned around and walked out of the court.
"The evidence is conclusive, if this slut doesn't admit his guilt, can't he save me a little face?" The Son of Heaven stared at the blood-red eyes and slapped the case hard: "If I have to make her ugly thing public, she will die?" ”
Zhang Rang was silent, he also felt that this matter had come to light, and there would be no chance to refute it, but he also knew the temperament of Queen Song, although he was not a saint, but he was definitely not a big evildoer, and the Song family was not a small family, there were several nobles, princesses, and family teachers, to say that it was indeed a bit sensational to do such a thing. And he also knows Queen Song's temper, if there is a ghost in her heart, she can't be so calm, even if she is successful in cultivation, after all, she is a woman, in the face of such a big thing, and it has reached this point, how can she still refuse to admit her guilt?
Since he has suspicions, he refuses to do things absolutely, for fear that if there is another break, he will cut off his own back road. If Queen Song really died, he had no problem doing it, and the decision was made by the Son of Heaven, if Queen Song was really wronged, even if she died now, the Son of Heaven would not blame him in retrospect. If Empress Song doesn't die...... Then he will be developed.
"She's pinning her hopes on Liu Xiu, right? Okay, I'll kill Liu Xiu first and break her thoughts. The Son of Heaven gritted his teeth and said: "When Zhao Zhong comes back, I will show her Liu Xiu's head to see if she still dies." ”
Zhang Rang rolled his eyelids and bowed his head to obey.
Zhao Zhong sat in the car and came to the front door of General Wei's Mansion, looking at the eaves that had barely changed, Zhao Zhong suddenly felt a little emotional. This mansion is one of the few in Luoyang City, not only located in the best location in Luoyang City, but also elegantly decorated, just a large square in front of the door, it is enough to make many people envious. One-third of Luoyang City is the palace, one-third of the place is the official office, and only one-third is the residence, of course, those who can live in Luoyang City are not ordinary people, it is not a question of whether there is money or not, but they must play a pivotal role in the court, of course, their residence cannot be bad, but it is still not much like such a good one.
Zhao Zhong thinks that he doesn't have such a good residence, because he was not as good as Cao Jie back then, and now he is not as good as Liu Xiu.
However, he also thinks that this mansion may be too good, so neither Cao Jie nor Liu Xiu can afford it. Cao Jie was scared to death by Liu Xiu, and Liu Xiu has now committed such a rebellious crime, and he is about to be beheaded.
Zhao Zhong felt that it was better for people to leave some leeway, bad things could be done, but they couldn't be done, otherwise there would be retribution sooner or later. Because of this, he has always refused to grab Zhang Rang in front, and he refuses to be spoiled, even if he does bad things, he has a good attitude.
Zhao Yan greeted him, stretched out his hand to help Zhao Zhong out of the car, and said softly: "Is it the edict to take Liu Xiuxing's life?" ”
Zhao Zhong nodded while walking forward silently, and also lowered his voice and asked, "How is the house?" What's going on? ”
"Nope." Zhao Yan smiled silently, "Although this Liu Xiu is young, he is very good at kung fu, and such a big thing has happened." He was not in a hurry at all, he got up normally every morning to practice martial arts, and during the day he accompanied his pregnant concubine to play chess and take a walk. No wonder he can suddenly get rich. ”
Zhao Zhong glanced at him, "That's because he doesn't know what he has done, and when he knows, I'm afraid he won't be able to be so calm." ”
"He's got a big deal?" Zhao Yan was taken aback.
"It's big, big enough to give him ten heads." Zhao Zhong pointed at those horsemen: "These people were originally in the hands of Jin Wu, why are they now under your control?" You still can't smell the blood? ”
Zhao Yan was taken aback. He was a captain of the infantry of the Northern Army, but the Son of Heaven issued an edict and urgently transferred him to take charge of the cavalry. Ti Cai was originally a subordinate of Zhi Jinwu, and he always felt strange why he didn't send Zhi Jinwu Song Qi to perform official duties, and originally thought that it was probably to avoid suspicion, or his brother was exercising for him. was about to promote him to be the foreshadowing of Jinwu, but he didn't expect that the Song family was also involved in this matter, and Song Qi had been dismissed.
"I see." Zhao Yan nodded understandingly: "I will definitely not give him any chance." ”
"Well, don't go too far, just don't have any contact with him. As long as he doesn't come out. Do whatever you want in the yard. Zhao Zhong patted Zhao Yan's hand with satisfaction and walked up the steps quickly. The horseman guarding the door hurriedly opened the door, and Zhao Zhong entered the gate with two Lang officials and walked through the front yard. Come to the court.
Liu Xiu sat in the hall and played chess with Wang Chu when he saw Zhao Zhong come in. Wang Chu was a little nervous, but Liu Xiu was very calm. He waved his hand: "Help Madame in, so that you can rest." ”
The two servants answered, and helped Wang Chu into the inner room, Wang Chu stopped at the door, turned his head and looked at Liu Xiu worriedly, Liu Xiu smiled slightly: "Go, go, I will accompany you to play this game of chess after a while, and I will definitely win you this time." ”
Wang Chu reluctantly smiled and entered the inner room.
Zhao Zhong kept looking at Liu Xiu quietly, until he couldn't hear Wang Chu's footsteps, and then he coughed: "Liu Xiu took the edict." ”
Liu Xiu bowed down on the hall and said loudly: "General Houwei of Liangxiang listens to the edict. ”
Zhao Zhong unfolded the edict and read it aloud: "Fu Weiguang and the sixth year of March Xinwei, the emperor said, Liu Xiu, the general of the advisory guard: parents have been missing for several years, concealed and not reported, Yu Jun is disloyal, and Yu parents are not filial...... The marquis of Liangxiang was exempted from the post of general guard, and he committed suicide, with full loyalty and filial piety. Don't lose hope. ”
After Zhao Zhong finished reading the edict, he looked at Liu Xiu condescendingly, "General Wei, take the edict." ”
Liu Xiu straightened up, but did not accept the edict, but stood up, patted the soil on his knees calmly, and then slowly raised his head, looked at Zhao Zhong calmly, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he shook his head gently: "This is a chaotic fate, I can't accept the edict." ”
Zhao Zhong's eyes tightened, and his tone became stern: "General Wei, do you want to resist the edict?" ”
Liu Xiu glanced at the few tiger benlangs behind Zhao Zhong who were about to draw their swords and pounce on them, and their sharp eyes forced them to stop involuntarily, Liu Xiu smiled disdainfully, and the corners of his mouth were crooked: "The world has been in chaos for a long time, how many displaced people are millions?" There are many people who have left their homes, and I don't see any effective measures from the imperial court, but there are people who are concerned about the disappearance of my parents, and I don't know whether I should feel honored or sad. If you don't see you for five years, even if you die? When was this a rule, and why haven't I heard of it? Since there is no such rule, I can not report it, and since I can not report it, how can I say that I can deceive the king? ”
He paused, and then his gaze fell back on Zhao Zhong's face: "Besides, even if there is such a rule, it seems that I will not commit suicide on such a charge, right?" ”
Zhao Zhong hesitated, of course he knew that just because his parents disappeared and concealed the crime of not reporting, it was not enough to cause Liu Xiu to be convicted of death, and Liu Xiu's refusal to accept this edict was expected, because it was obviously problematic. He waved his hand, motioned for the tiger benlang to stand down, and glanced at Liu Xiu again. Liu Xiu frowned, looked at Zhao Zhong with suspicious eyes, and Zhao Zhong nodded~~~ nodded. Liu Xiu hesitated for a moment and waved his hand.
In the corner of the wall, there was a sound of chattering, and the tiger warriors who were lying in the dark received Liu Xiu's order and exited the small courtyard one by one.
Zhao Zhong leaned over, told him the real charges, and then said softly: "General Wei, Your Majesty hopes that you can save a little face and don't embarrass him." ”
Liu Xiu raised his eyebrows and sneered: "If you say that, I can't accept the edict." ”!。
