Chapter 227: The Question of Prison
Gonggong Wei came to the emperor before Wanjun, so he naturally would not let the emperor let Du Wanjun's parents go. The head of what he said was the Tao, and the rules were reasonable. What is for the world's society, for the sake of the people, but also for the rule of the Ming Dynasty.
The emperor was naturally afraid that he would bury his ancestral inheritance in his hands, so no matter what Gonggong Wei said, he would agree, as long as he was still the emperor, not to mention sacrificing one Du family, even ten Du families, he would not hesitate to do so.
"Your Majesty, you must remember that you put the community first, no matter who says anything to you, you can't be moved. Once shaken, it is the Ming Dynasty that is shaken! ”
Grandpa Wei seemed to be scaring him, but he seemed to be right. Even if there is an ant-like threat in the Ming Dynasty, it must be stifled as soon as possible, not to mention a threat like the Donglin Party.
"Father-in-law Wei, you are right, this Ming can't be destroyed in my hands. Don't worry, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid it would have been ruined early tomorrow! ”
The emperor looked into the eyes of Gonggong Wei and said. Although he was extravagant and ignored the government, if there was no Gonggong Wei, this Ming Dynasty would probably have ceased to exist a long time ago. So he is still at ease with Father-in-law Wei, especially his maintenance of the royal family.
"Our family is doing this for you, the emperor, and even more for the sake of the world!"
Gonggong Wei said in the emperor's ear.
"Yes, I know everything, I won't let you down!"
The emperor sat on the dragon chair very worried, he didn't know what would happen next. If Da Ming is really finished in his hands, then he will become a sinner for the ages.
Since this matter attracted Gonggong Wei to tell him in person, it was really rare, if it wasn't a particularly important matter, how could he go out in person.
Gonggong Wei is right, even if he says Wanjun, he can't agree, he can't be this sinner through the ages.
Not long after Gonggong Wei left, Wanjun came, which the emperor had expected a long time ago, so it was not unexpected.
"Weichen participates in the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Wanjun knelt on the ground nervously.
"Get up!"
The emperor said.
"Emperor Xie!"
Wanjun stood up and looked at the emperor.
"I don't know why the male concubine came here today?"
The emperor asked.
"Your Majesty, I, I'm ......"
Wanjun cried as soon as she spoke, and tears flowed uncontrollably. The grievances and sadness in my stomach all erupted at this moment.
When the emperor saw Wanjun crying, he couldn't sit still on the dragon chair. He wanted to rush down and hug him, care for him, love him, and care for him. But what Gonggong Wei said immediately echoed in his ears, he couldn't ruin Daming for the sake of his children's affection.
The emperor sat on the dragon chair and didn't move, although his heart was full of ups and downs, but he had to pretend to be unfazed on the surface.
Wanjun cried for a long time, and when he saw that the emperor didn't move at all, he stopped.
"Wanjun, what's wrong with you, why are you crying so sadly?"
When the emperor saw that he was no longer crying, he hurriedly asked.
"The emperor doesn't know, the minister's parents were arrested and investigated, and Weichen's home was also besieged by the people, and now he can't go back to his home, and the minister feels uncomfortable!"
Wanjun looked at the emperor and said aggrievedly.
"Oh? Why were your parents arrested? ”
The emperor asked.
This can stop Wanjun, his parents were indeed wronged, but if it was said that they were arrested because of the Donglin Party, the emperor would definitely not agree. But if you don't say it, it's a deception.
He thought for a while, and said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, I don't know about this, but they were indeed taken away, and I will have no parents and no home to go back to now." ”
The emperor really felt sorry for Wanjun, but he could only watch his beloved man get hurt.
"Wanjun, I feel sorry for you, but I can't be the only one who feels sorry for you. Do you know? Sometimes, people have to make sacrifices, learn to endure! ”
The emperor said this meaningful word to Wanjun, which didn't sound like he said, as if it came from the mouth of Gonggong Wei.
"Your Majesty, do you know the pain of losing a loved one? I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it alone. I owe them so much, but I can only watch them slowly leave me! ”
As soon as Wanjun spoke, tears flowed out. Perhaps now he can feel the grief and uneasiness from the depths of his heart the most.
"I understand, but how many things in the world are in my own hands? Go back, if you put yourself in my shoes, you will understand my situation. ”
The emperor endured the grief in his heart and said.
"Wanjun, don't blame me, even if your parents were wronged, I have to do it."
The emperor was very reluctant to hurt him like this, but his parents sacrificed for the country, and they could be regarded as a well-deserved death.
"Your Majesty, even you say the same! Wanjun thinks that in this world, only you are worthy of my trust, and only you will help me when the suffering comes, you let me down too much! ”
After he finished speaking, he covered his mouth and ran out.
"Wanjun, Wanjun!"
The emperor got up and ran down a few steps, and when he saw that he had already run away, he did not chase him.
"Wanjun, this is not my intention, and I can't help myself. If you can, I hope you can be happy and happy for the rest of your life! ”
The emperor sat on the steps, his heart like a deflated balloon.
The matter has come to this point, and it can only be like this, so that we can keep the Ming Dynasty.
......
After Gonggong Wei left the emperor, he went directly to the prison. He's going to meet old friends he hasn't seen in years.
At the door of the cell, he saw Master Du sitting in it drinking and eating meat, so unhappy. It's as if he's not in jail now, he's here to enjoy it.
"Master Du, are you hungry? Eating so happily! ”
When Gonggong Wei saw him like this, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Who?"
Master Du raised his head and smiled.
"Isn't this the famous eunuch of Daming, the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian Wei Gonggong of Dongchang!"
How could Master Du not know this old demon? He has done many evils, and perhaps one day he will sacrifice his flesh and blood to heaven.
It seems that Master Du hates him very much, but what kind of grievances do they have?
This matter was very shameful for Master Du, and he didn't want to mention it again.
Because Mrs. Du is as beautiful as a flower, she is also well-known in the capital, and she does not have to be poor in those concubines, so she has also attracted the pursuit of the sons of wealthy nobles in the capital. Even if she is married, it is indispensable for people to pursue her.
Later, when Wei Zhongxian learned of this, he took Mrs. Du lightly. Although he was already a eunuch at that time, who could bear this shame? So for so many years, Master Du has always held a grudge, of course, because of this, when Gonggong Wei was in charge of the power of the Ming Dynasty, he never took the Du family.
But this time is different, Du Wanjun has repeatedly made fun of him, it is tolerable, but it is unbearable. If you don't give the Du family a little color this time, I don't know what I will do to damage Dongchang and him in the future.
"Master Du, after so many years, why are you still haunted?"
Wei Zhongxian said.
"The old man is angry? Do you still have the face to say those four words? ”
Master Du shouted with a glare.
"Why hasn't your temper changed at all?"
Father-in-law Wei said with a smile.
Master Du didn't speak, and continued to tear the meat in the bowl and drink wine.
"Master Du, our family came today to tell you that you have a son named Du Wanjun, and he is the emperor's male concubine!"
Gonggong Wei said with a smile.
When Master Du heard this, he stopped all of a sudden. Although Wanjun is not filial, he is most concerned.
"Master Du, our family doesn't mean anything else, I just want to tell you that you have a good son."
Grandpa Wei still said with a smile.
But when Master Du heard this, he stood up, walked to the door of the cell, and said with wide eyes: "Wei Zhongxian, if you dare to touch half of his hair, I will definitely not let you go!" ”
"Hahahaha, Master Du, what's wrong with you? What did our family do, you won't let me go? ”
Grandpa Wei's words seemed to be abusing Master Du, but no, the person who became a prisoner was the fish on the board.
"Wei Zhongxian, if Wanjun has any three longs and two shorts, I won't let you go!"
Master Du grabbed the door and roared.
"It's up to you to perform, not everybody gets that chance. Don't worry, the Du family will not be as miserable as the Zuo family, and it hasn't reached the point of extinction! ”
Grandpa Wei sneered and raised the dust.
"By the way, your wife is still next door, why did our family forget?"
Grandpa Wei laughed after speaking, turned around and walked out laughing.
"Wei Zhongxian, you don't want to die, Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian, did you hear it, if you dare to touch him, I won't let you go!"
Master Du knelt on the ground weakly, leaned his forehead against the door, and his tears fell like a sea of broken embankments.
"Wei Zhongxian, you can't do this, you can't do this......"
He could do nothing but howl feebly. Madame, sons are living in the clouds, and he is powerless to let them be humiliated by the bad guys.
Father-in-law Wei did go next door, and Mrs. Du was indeed locked inside. It's just that Mrs. Du's conditions are much better than Master Du's.
"Mrs. Du, do you remember our family?"
Mrs. Du was sleeping, and was startled by the sudden voice, she raised her head and saw that it was Wei Zhongxian, the old eunuch.
"Wei Zhongxian?"
Mrs. Du asked.
"Yo, Mrs. Du still remembers our family!"
Gonggong Wei said with a smile.
"What are you doing here?"
Mrs. Du said forcefully.
"What do you say our family is doing? Why are you so unconscionable! ”
Gonggong Wei took a few steps forward and said with a slight grievance.
"Wei Zhongxian, don't think I don't know what you did, you arrested us. What about the master? What about the others? ”
Mrs. Du asked nervously.
"It seems that you still have feelings for him, but our family tells you that you have feelings for him, so you can't be indifferent to me!"
Grandpa Wei smiled evilly.
"Oh, old gelding, you're not ashamed!"
Mrs. Du took a sip like Grandpa Wei and turned her back to him.
"Mrs. Du, Master Du's life is in your hands, you can't do this to our family!"
Grandpa Wei said.
"Wei Zhongxian, don't scare me, let me tell you, if you dare to touch the master, I will demolish your nest!"
Although Mrs. Du's words were tough, she was very afraid. She had never been so worried and scared as she was now, especially the moment she saw Wei Zhongxian appear in front of her, she seemed to be back to that terrible night.
