Chapter 61: The Death of the King and His Ministers
Chapter 61 The king wants the minister to die
Zhao Ying almost ran out of the Jiying Hall as if she were fleeing.
There was a white marble fence in front of the main hall, and she ran over in three or five steps, propped her hands on the fence, and retched several times.
Zhao Che hurriedly followed, and when he saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward to help the person, and called Sister Ah with a worried face: "Are you okay?" ”
Zhao Ying waved his hand away with a white face, looked him up and down with a scrutinizing gaze, and asked him coldly for a long time: "Do you know about the poisoning tonight?" ”
Zhao Che was struck by lightning, his whole body stiffened, and he couldn't raise his hand to touch her: "Sister...... How can you ask me that? You're my own sister, how could I ......"
Maybe she was too indifferent, or maybe the laughter overflowed from her lips, so that Zhao Che couldn't go on talking.
When Zhao Chengyan came out, what he saw was the confrontation between sister and brother.
He raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, sighed slightly, and walked over slowly: "Yuan Yuan, let's go." ”
Zhao Ying let out a short sigh, bypassed Zhao Che, and went to Zhao Chengyan's side.
Zhao Che wanted to pull her, but he only touched her sleeve.
"Sister ......"
"You go and accompany your second imperial sister, don't follow me."
She was clearly in a terrible mood.
Zhao Chengyan heard this and glanced over quietly.
It's like a child's jealous tone, but it's not the same thing.
The hand behind his back, his fingertips on the back of his right hand: "Zhao Che." ”
Zhao Che was about to speak, but he was interrupted again, closed his mouth obediently, and bowed his head at him: "Uncle Huang? ”
Zhao Chengyan looked at him, but suddenly shook his head: "Either go back to Zhaoren Palace to sleep with you, or go to Jiaren Palace to watch Zhao Wannuo Palace, do you plan to follow us back to the palace?" ”
The attitude is blunt, unceremoniously, and he doesn't treat him as a junior child.
Zhao Che knew that Zhao Chengyan had always been a person with a strange temperament, and he was unwilling to have any disputes with Zhao Chengyan, so he looked at Zhao Ying again unwillingly, and then folded his hands and turned sideways, a gesture of giving way, no longer keeping up with Zhao Ying's pace.
Zhao Chengyan thought about it for a while, took Zhao Ying's little hand, pulled her, and slowly walked down the steps in front of the main hall, heading towards the palace gate.
Zhao Ying's heart softened, and she shook it back: "Uncle Huang, why do they want me to die?" ”
She was frightened tonight, a half-grown child, no matter how transparent she looked on weekdays, she was still just a child.
Zhao Chengyan sighed silently, and only tightened the hand holding her more and more tightly: "It's them who should die, go back in a while, ask someone to cook you a bowl of soothing soup, light one of your benzoin, sleep, and tomorrow will be fine, everything will pass." ”
He doesn't often comfort people, but he can only think of this most ordinary comfort.
Zhao Ying sniffed: "Actually, Uncle Huang should be ......"
Before she finished asking, Zhao Chengyan seemed to know what she wanted to ask, so she was asked not to speak, and Shen Dianchen's anxious voice came from behind her.
Seeing that the people who were running fifty, because of the urgency of chasing, they gasped for breath, where did the cabinet chief assistant still have Su Rili's calmness.
Zhao Chengyan quietly let go of Zhao Ying's hand, blocked half a step in front of her, and hid most of her body.
Shen Dianchen's eyes sank, and he bowed his hand: "Your Highness, the minister has something to say to the eldest princess." ”
"If you have anything to say, tell me." It is clear that it is a posture that refuses to get out of the way.
In the years when Zhao Ying shielded Zhao Che from the wind and rain in her previous life, no one really supported this piece of heaven for her.
Whatever happens, she has to be on her own.
At that time, Emperor Zhaoning was already seriously ill, and the Queen Mother refused to see her again because of her participation in court affairs, Zhao Che and Shen Mingren held a grudge against her but had to use her.
What does Zhao Chengyan want her?
He didn't want anything from her.
He is just an elder, who has pity for her, and is willing to help her when she is in danger and stumbles, and supports her.
She thought very clearly, so she hid behind Zhao Chengyan and refused to face Shen Dianchen.
Shen Dianchen knew Zhao Chengyan's temper, and he wanted to persuade him to get out of the way, so he had to change the original prepared rhetoric slightly and throw it to Zhao Chengyan: "There are still many strange things about the poisoning of Jiying Hall tonight, it may not necessarily be Liu Shuyi's doing, but the emperor is angry with the eldest princess Long Yan, and now he blames all the blame on Liu Shuyi."
His Royal Highness also heard it, the emperor's meaning, tomorrow morning, I am afraid that the Liu family will not escape accountability. ”
Zhao Yingbei bit her lower lip and squinted.
Zhao Chengyan naturally felt the coldness around her, and her tone became three points colder: "So what does Elder Ge mean?" ”
"You-" Shen Dianchen was not angry, and had to be patient, "The Liu family has been loyal for several generations, and the ancestor was the hero of the founding of the country, and in the past, Lord Liu was even more-"
"So you are planning to persuade Yuan Yuan not to pursue it, and even want to coax Yuan Yuan to persuade the imperial brother, even if you want to ask the Liu family, don't pursue the Liu family in the previous dynasty?"
His tone was too much to do with himself.
For Zhao Chengyan, Shen Dianchen was always not the slightest bit sure.
He was silent for a long time before he sighed and spoke again: "Liu Ming's ancestors are still on the way to the northwest. At the beginning of the year, the two Zhejiang banks burst the embankment, and in March, the invasion of the coastal pirates in Fujian became a disaster, and now the matter in the northwest has not subsided...... Your Highness, the turmoil in the government and the opposition is what you want to see? ”
Zhao Chengyan glanced sideways.
In fact, many years ago, Shen Dianchen was not such a person.
Before entering the cabinet, he was also a jealous and hateful character, upright, and selfless.
Later, he entered the cabinet, stayed up with his qualifications, and became the first assistant of the cabinet, but he has been smooth for a year.
Everywhere is only thinking about trade-offs, constraints.
This Zhao family, his black-hearted and poisonous imperial brother is not so careful.
It's ridiculous.
Zhao Chengyan is burdened with a lot of infamy, and since he refused to go to the northwest, there have been more discussions behind his back.
Zhao Ying couldn't bear it in the end, she took half a step, the eyes of the beauty under the moon were red, and the pearl tassel hanging down from the red golden phoenix wearing a peony on her bun was not as white as her little face.
Shen Dianchen seemed to have just remembered that she was only a fourteen-year-old child, and his eyes were finally a little distressed.
Zhao Ying saw it in his eyes, and he didn't care about his insignificant distress, let alone hear any words of concern from Shen Dianchen's mouth.
So she called Shen Ge Lao.
Shen Dianchen didn't speak, waiting for her words.
Zhao Chengyan's hand covered the back of her hand again.
Warm, powerful, give her courage and support.
The corners of Zhao Ying's lips rose, her lips were bone, and her eyes were bright: "According to what Shen Ge said at this moment, Liu Niangniang wants to poison me, probably because I deserve this catastrophe in my life." ”
She heard Shen Dianchen gasp, saw Shen Mingren's face change suddenly beside Shen Dianchen, and felt Zhao Chengyan clench her hand, before she smiled and asked Shen Dianchen: "The ancestor of the Liu family is the founder of the country, how many generations of loyal and virtuous people?"
How did the title of the Liu family not exist, in the Taimiao, in the Zhongliang Temple, how did the tablet of the ancestors of the Liu family be withdrawn, does Shen Ge always want me, a fourteen-year-old child, to remind you?
I only know that since ancient times, it was the monarch who wanted his ministers to die, and the ministers had to die, but when it came to Shen Ge Lao, it didn't seem to be this principle, let alone this rule.
In this case, you might as well listen to my father at the Taiji Hall tomorrow, and see what your father is doing to you? ”
