Chapter 724: Reconciliation
Xu Liang smiled and looked very satisfied, carefully put away the paper holy decree, then got up, clapped his hands easily, and said to Xu Guangqi and the others: "Okay, the matter is clear, Xu Ge Lao can also remove all the guards outside, right?" Well, brother emperor, I have to bother you to send me out of the palace. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Xu Guangqi and Sun Chengzong wished that Liang would go out as soon as possible, so that they would have to dream a lot at night and have accidents.
It's just that Emperor Chongzhen had a black face, was forced by Xu Liang, and made such a serious oath in front of everyone, and he was indignant in his heart, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen can be regarded as the first emperor to make such a vicious oath, which can be said to have lost the face of the royal family.
Thinking like this, Emperor Chongzhen looked at Xu Liang's grinning expression, and felt more and more that the kid in front of him was extremely hateful.
"Wait!" Emperor Chongzhen shouted in a deep voice.
"Huh?"
A room full of people looked back at Emperor Chongzhen, Sun Chengzong frowned slightly, and he didn't want the emperor to come up with any more bad ideas.
"What else does the emperor have to advise?" Xu Liang squinted at Emperor Chongzhen and asked with a sneer.
Emperor Chongzhen snorted, stared at Xu Liang, and said viciously: "The holy decree and oath I made before were used to bind me and the court, since it is a negotiation, the two sides should be reciprocal. Now your Xu Liang's life is guaranteed, but I and the Ming Dynasty have no guarantee at all. What if Xu Liang rebelled after you left? ”
Xu Liang smiled: "Brother Emperor, you are really confused, isn't it clear in the holy decree, if I Xu Liang dares to do this, it will be regarded as a rebellion, and it will be regarded as a violation of the conditions on the holy decree, at this time, the emperor can order the arrest of the official and punish him according to the crime." I Xu Liang violated the conditions first, and I have no complaints about what the emperor and the court do with me. ”
When Xu Guangqi, Sun Chengzong and others heard this, they all nodded slowly, according to Xu Liang's meaning, there was no doubt about it.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Chongzhen shook his head again and again, and sneered: "Xu Liang, you said it lightly, if it really comes to that time, your kid's subordinates must be heavily armed and guarded, even if I want to arrest you at that time, it will take a lot of effort." ”
When Sun Chengzong heard this, he screamed, looked at Xu Liang in shock, and suddenly agreed: "Not bad." The emperor has thought it through, and if he really gets to that point, isn't the emperor's holy decree useless?! ”
Xu Liang choked, sighed lightly, and looked at Chongzhen: "Brother Emperor, what do you want?" ”
Emperor Chongzhen laughed as if his conspiracy had succeeded, and said in a deep voice: "I have thought of a way to prevent trouble before it happens. ”
"How?" Emperor Chongzhen smiled so insidiously, Xu Liang's scalp was slightly numb, and he looked at Chongzhen vigilantly.
Chongzhen said proudly: "It's very simple, I just gave you a holy decree and made an oath. Correspondingly, Xu Liang, should you also write a treaty and make a poisonous oath. ”
Sun Chengzong and Xu Guangqi listened, their eyes lit up, and they nodded in agreement, and several people's eyes fell on Xu Liang in unison.
Xu Liang stared at Chongzhen and tilted his head: "If I don't write, what should you do, brother emperor?" ”
The emperor also behaved quite stiffly, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Xu Liang, if you don't write, then how can I rest assured?" Instead of going to great lengths to arrest you in the future, it is better to kill you Xu Liang now! It also saves you Xu Liang from harming the Ming Dynasty in the future! ”
Saying that, Emperor Chongzhen stalked his neck and killed him as soon as he drew his neck.
"Your Majesty, no!" Elder Xu Ge exclaimed. Elder Sun Ge also looked at Emperor Chongzhen with a nervous expression.
"Humph! You don't have to say much, I have made up my mind! Emperor Chongzhen shouted in a deep voice.
Xu Liang looked at Emperor Chongzhen deeply and said, "I really didn't see it before, the emperor's brother is such a backbone person. Okay, since the emperor's brother insists on doing so, I'll write it. Anyway, what do you want me to write? ”
The emperor had obviously thought about it a long time ago, and when he heard Xu Liang agree, he said in a deep voice: "You just write like this, I, Xu Liang, will be loyal to the Ming Dynasty all my life, loyal to the monarch and the country, and will not be an enemy of the Ming Dynasty!" ”
Xu Liang is all happy, what Emperor Chongzhen says, Xu Liang writes, but the handwriting is ugly. After a while, Xu Liang finished writing and happily signed on it.
The emperor motioned to Sun Chengzong and Xu Guangqi, and Wang Chengen and others also signed as witnesses. This set of practices is the same as what Xu Liang asked Emperor Chongzhen to do a quarter of an hour ago.
The emperor put away the note, dried the ink very seriously, and then glanced at Xu Liang and said, "Then Xu Liang, I will swear again." ”
Xu Liang squinted at Chongzhen and said coldly: "In whose name do you swear?" ”
The emperor thought for a while before he said slowly: "Fang Cai I am in the name of Emperor Hongwu, then you Xu Liang will use the name of your Xu family ancestor." ”
Xu Liang shook his head and said: "My ancestor Xu Liang started in Ji'an Mansion, and after so many generations, how can I remember the name of my ancestor!" Why don't I go back and look through the family tree and come back to talk to the emperor? ”
The emperor shook his head resolutely, "Wait for you to go through the family tree, why don't you wait until the Year of the Monkey?" Well, Xu Liang, who is your father? ”
"Xu Changkun!"
"Where's Grandfather?"
"Xu Qiangen!"
When the emperor heard this, he looked at Xu Guangqi, the second assistant, with an inquiring eye. Elder Xu Ge immediately understood the meaning of the emperor's eyes, raised his head and carefully recalled the background of Xu Liang's origin, and nodded affirmatively.
Emperor Chongzhen smiled happily: "Just swear in your grandfather's name." Let's just say that you Xu Liang will be loyal to the Ming court all his life, if you violate this oath, the Xu family from your grandfather Xu Qiangen to the next will be cut off from grandchildren! ”
Xu Liang's face changed, "This is too vicious, isn't it?" ”
The emperor sneered: "Didn't you feel vicious when you swore an oath?" ”
Xu Liang looked reluctant, looking left and right, looking very unhappy, and his brows were furrowed: "The period of life is too long!" I, Xu Liang, am only twenty-five or sixteen this year, and if I make such an oath, won't I have to live in the shadow of this poisonous oath for the next sixty or seventy years? Besides, now it's me Xu Liang who swears to you, Brother Emperor, if one day, Brother Emperor, you are unfortunately hanging, and the Ming Dynasty is torn apart, do I, Xu Liang, still have to keep this damn oath? ”
Others don't know, but Xu Liang knows that Chongzhen once had a total of seventeen years!
Chongzhen suddenly changed color and shouted angrily: "Xu Liang, you are so presumptuous! How dare you curse me for dying young! ”
Xu Liang pouted, "I mean what if!" ”
The emperor pondered for a while, compromised, and said: "Then I will worship the emperor for the end, Xu Liang, you must not betray the Ming Dynasty." ”
Xu Liang's eyes rolled wildly, and he secretly thought, this year is the sixth year of Chongzhen, and there will be at least eleven years until the end of the Chongzhen Dynasty, which is still too long.
So, Xu Liang said: "No." Brother Emperor is in the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period, and it is not a problem to live for another seventy or eighty years, doesn't that mean that I, Xu Liang, still have to be trapped in this nightmare of oath for the rest of my life? ! ”
The emperor was annoyed, "You can't do this, you can't do that!" It seems that he had planned to go out and then raised the flag to rebel?! ”
Xu Liang shook his head, "I just think it's too long." His eyes wandered around the few people in the room, and then fell on Xu Guangqi, stroked his palms and laughed: "There is!" How about I think it's limited to the time that Jisuke-sama is alive? Although Xu Ge is older, his body has always been tough! Besides, it's only sixty-six or seven this year, so it's not a problem to live another one or two decades! And a decade or two is not so difficult for me to accept. ”
Xu Liang said very reluctantly, in fact, he had already started from Chuang Suqin and Zhang Yan, Xu Gelao's body was under the west wind, and his perennial fatigue had already dragged his body down.
Xu Ge was stunned and said with a wry smile: "Why did you involve me?" ”
Emperor Chongzhen originally wanted to oppose it immediately, Xu Ge Lao is almost seventy years old, his hair and beard are all white flowers, and his body has been good and bad for the past year, it is unknown whether he can last another ten years! Xu Liang aimed at Xu Ge Lao, obviously taking advantage of it.
The emperor wanted to refute, but immediately woke up and said that Xu Guangqi must not be said nonsense if he did not live long. In this way, it hurts Xu Ge's self-esteem too much.
The emperor immediately found that Xu Liang was wilted and wilted, and he actually knew to start with Xu Ge Lao! I can't refute it!
"What? Brother Emperor, you don't agree? Xu Liang was very surprised, and exclaimed: "Could it be that the emperor is doubting that Xu Ge Lao can't live for another ten or twenty years?!" ”
"This ......" Chongzhen was speechless.
At the critical time, Sun Chengzong stood up, and Sun Ge Lao persuaded: "Your Majesty, just follow Xu Liang's opinion!" Sun Chengzong squinted at Xu Liang and said secretly: Not ten years, as long as you give yourself another five years, once the old man stabilizes Liaodong, it will be easy to clean up your Xu Liang!
Seeing this, the emperor didn't want to dwell on this issue, so he nodded regretfully: "Okay." It is limited to the time of Xu Ge's reincarnation. I sincerely wish Xu Ge a good food and sleep, and a long life! ”
Xu Ge smiled bitterly: "The old minister Xie Huang is auspicious." ”
When Xu Liang heard this, he solemnly swore an oath: "I, Xu Liang, swear that as long as Xu Guangqi is alive for one day, I will never rebel against the Ming Dynasty. ”
The emperor almost pricked up his ears to listen, and when Xu Liang finished his oath, Chongzhen didn't hear anything wrong, so he was greatly relieved.
As Xu Liang's oath was issued, the atmosphere in the Heart Cultivation Hall eased a lot.
Xu Liang patted Emperor Chongzhen's shoulder very affectionately, and grinned: "Okay, after this incident, I and the emperor's brother are not acquainted." We all know a lot about each other. Well, it's not too early, and it's time for me to go back! Brother Emperor, you can send me out of the palace again. ”
The emperor had a dark face and snorted coldly: "Xu Liang, I am the son of the Great Tomorrow, you are still a courtier of the Ming Dynasty!" Who's calling you a brother?! ”
Xu Liang smiled, "Got it, Brother Emperor!" ”
The emperor's face was even darker.
Xu Guangqi, Sun Chengzong couldn't wait to end this troublesome matter earlier, and kept his eyes on Xu Liang and Emperor Chongzhen, for fear that these two would have some accidents.
Xu Guangqi stroked the beard and said with a smile: "Today's matter, fortunately, there is no danger. Xu Liang, the old man will send you out of the palace together. ”
Xu Liang smiled and was very polite. "There is work, there is work."
So, Xu Liang accepted the cold moon knife, still clasped one arm of Emperor Chongzhen with one hand, and Wang Chengen opened the door of the Palace of Heart Cultivation, and Xu Liang slowly walked out of the Palace of Heart Cultivation next to Emperor Chongzhen.
Outside the hall, Wen Tiren and Luo Yangxing, who were already as anxious as ants on a hot pot, heard the door ringing, hurriedly turned their heads, and looked towards the door. Outside the hall, countless pairs of eyes looked vigilantly at the entrance of the hall, and then shattered their eyeballs.
They saw: The Ninth Five-Year Supreme of the Ming Dynasty, His Majesty Emperor Chongzhen and Xu Liang, the governor of Shaanxi, walked out hand in arm, and their intimate appearance was astonishing.
Wen Tiren trembled with anger and shouted: "Bold Xu Liang! Don't let go of the emperor yet! ”
Xu Liang pouted disdainfully: "Old dog, what the hell are you called!" The emperor proposed to personally send the official out of the palace, but it was difficult to be warm, and the official had to reluctantly walk with the emperor. Good dogs don't get in the way, get out of the way! ”
Wen Tiren was about to go crazy, there were thousands of guards outside the Heart Cultivation Palace, and Xu Liang barked smoothly from an old dog, which made Wen Tiren's lungs almost explode.
Emperor Chongzhen's words extinguished most of Wen Tiren's anger. The emperor said to Luo Yangxin, the governor of Jinyi Guard: "Luo Aiqing, I and Xu Aiqing had some misunderstandings before, and now they have been reconciled!" You get rid of everyone! ”
Although Luo Yangxing was suspicious, he couldn't see that the emperor and Xu Liang had reconciled. couldn't help but look at Xu Ge Lao and Sun Ge Lao who came out later, and seeing that the two Ge elders nodded slowly, Luo Yangxing went down to order the Jinyi Guard, the palace guards, and Dongchang Fanzi to quickly collect the team and return to the camp.
The soldiers who came to escort the car and the ambush all withdrew, and Wang Chengen repelled the guards accompanying the emperor with great discernment. Even Wen Tiren stepped forward with a grimace to go out with the emperor, but was stopped by Wang Chengen. Previously, Wen Tiren did not care about the safety of the emperor, and insisted on killing Xu Liang, which made Wang Chengen very angry, because at this time, Wang Chengen did not have a good face for this Wen Ge elder. Emperor Chongzhen, Xu Liang, Xu Ge Lao, Sun Ge Lao, plus Wang Chengen and his party of five people, slowly walked towards the noon gate.
Speechless all the way, all the way, stunned the eyes of countless double palace maids, eunuchs, and guards.
All the people I don't know are secretly speculating: When did the emperor have a good relationship with Xu Liang, the governor of Shaanxi? Personally sent out of the palace, hand in hand, the appearance of a good friend?!
Only the emperor knew, and he couldn't wait to fly outside the noon gate with one foot in his heart. lest you lose face in the palace.
Half an hour later, the palace wall of the noon gate was finally presented in front of everyone's eyes. The Emperor couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Xu Liang suddenly stood up and didn't leave.
The Emperor immediately looked at him in horror, "You, you, what do you want to do again?!" ”
Xu Liang looked annoyed: "I almost forgot, I didn't get something back." ”
"What could be more important than getting out of the palace?!" Emperor airway.
Xu Liang looked at him very seriously and said, "Brother Emperor, I should remember that I was searched before entering the palace, and I had 70,000 taels of silver tickets on my body and was searched by the little eunuch, and I haven't come back yet." ”
When the emperor heard that this was the case, he didn't bother to pay attention to it at all, and waved his hand eagerly: "This little thing can be so stressed?!" Go back, let Cheng Eun come back and send it to you! Let's go, the noon gate is coming! ”
Xu Ge Lao, who followed behind, moved his lips, and reminded the emperor that 70,000 taels of silver tickets should be a lot of money, and only with the few pockets in Xu Liang's official robe, he should not be able to put down so many silver tickets. However, looking at Emperor Chongzhen's eager expression like a plague god, Xu Ge Lao held back the words that rushed to his lips. (To be continued.) )
