Chapter 20: The Past of the Court (3)

"Say, who is "Gongsun Sick", what are your intentions, as long as you can explain clearly, the general will spare your life, if you can still catch those two people, the general will ensure that you are a peace officer! "The torch jumped in the secret room of the Imperial Commander's Prison, and the Imperial Captain was personally interrogating the Fu Jiejie Order. The secret room was gloomy and damp, just an air window, and there was no bright light during the day, and there were rows of torture instruments in the corners, which made people shudder.

It turned out that the friends in the palace in the first month of the first month of the Honghong publicly wrote a book, saying that Mount Tai has a big stone to stand on its own, a white crow to gather, a state-owned dead wood in Changyi is reborn, and there is also a big willow tree in the Shanglin Garden, and the leaves are bitten by insects into the words "Gongsun disease has been established". That's it, Wei Hong actually pulled it to "Spring and Autumn", saying that stone and willow are all yin, referring to the people; Mount Tai is the Yue of Dai Zong, referring to the king of the Yi surname, now the stone is self-reliant, the zombie willow rises, not human, this should have a person from the puppet for the Son of Heaven, this person is "Gongsun Illness has been", the Son of Heaven should find this "Gongsun Illness has been", Zen to the emperor's throne.

The great Sima general Huo Guang was furious when he got the book, and immediately wanted to Xuanren take down Wei Hong and the internal officials who wrote the book and execute them. Bingji said: "General, as far as the lower officials know, although Wei Hong has a low official position, he is a great Confucian in the world, and he is the best at interpreting the "Spring and Autumn Period", with profound attainments, and he has one or two hundred disciples who sit down, and he is quite influential in Lu State and Chang'an City. This person can't be killed easily, so it's better to put him in prison first, and it's not too late to make a decision after investigating clearly. ”

Bingji has come to the General's Mansion since he came, and he has always been clear-headed and neat, and he has won Huo Guang's trust. Huo Guang actually knew this person, and knew that he had a lot of rebellious words, and he had long wanted to get rid of him, but after thinking about it, he really couldn't kill him like this, so he threw Wei Hong into the edict prison and handed it over to Tingwei for trial, and on the other hand, he personally arranged for someone to visit, and sure enough, there was a boulder rolling down from Mount Tai and smashing into the ground. Where did the willow leaves come from, there was no way to verify, so he had to force Tingwei to carefully interrogate Yu Hong himself.

"I've said everything I should say, what else to say, general, general, is the surname Liu or Huo in this world!" He squinted his eyes and said.

The corners of Tingwei's mouth seemed to smile and said: "The official is not big, the tone is not small, you stinky Confucian students really don't cry when you don't see the coffin, let me remind you, someone told me that the grandson of the former prince Liu Ju is called "sick". ”

Xiao Hong's eyes moved: "I am a preacher and a professional, I will not do anything else in my life, I studied "Spring and Autumn", and I will only explain major events according to the general meaning of "Spring and Autumn". As for what "sickness", don't you say that I thought the prince would have died a long time ago, how do I know what "sickness", is it possible that I hope to be like some people, set up a little emperor, and set himself up as a general to exercise power! ”

Ting Wei suppressed his anger and said loudly: "Bold! Come, give him a seat, so that he may know that he knows how great it is! As soon as the words fell, a few sturdy men brought a pure ice seat, and two more people untied the shackles of Yu Hong, stripped naked, and tied it to the ice seat. Chang'an in the first month of the first month was extremely cold, and the secret room of the edict prison was colder than the outside, and Wei Hong screamed a few times, and yelled: "Seek benevolence and get benevolence, what are the regrets!" With that, there was no sound.

Ting Wei hurriedly stepped forward to see that Wei Hong had committed suicide by biting his tongue. I had to write the document truthfully and report it to the general's mansion in person. Huo Guang originally looked down on the sour Confucian student of Wei Hong, but now it's okay, he didn't wait for the action to commit suicide himself, isn't this a clear suicide in fear of crime, and the Confucian students in the world dare to say anything? So on the surface, he said something about Tingwei's poor trial, but he was secretly happy in his heart. Ting Wei also sensed this meaning, so he was not afraid, and took the opportunity to mention a sentence and said: "Does the general know that 'sickness' is a real name?" ”

Huo Guang was puzzled and said: "This name is vulgar and vulgar, and there may be many people in the countryside who call it 'sick'." ”

Tingwei complimented: "The general really understands the people's feelings, but we got the news, so the crown prince Liu Jushang has a grandson alive, and he is sick!" ”

Huo Guang was surprised: "I originally knew that he had a grandson alive, it was Bingji who saved his life when he was the court lieutenant and imprisoned, so that he was saved from death, and then Bingji sent him away, it seems to be in Du County, but I really don't know what his name is." ”

"That's it!" Tingwei said in a low voice: "It was Bingji's personal clerk Tian Zun who told the lower officials, this must not be wrong. Will there be anything ...... in between?" said Tingwei appropriately.

Huo Guang twisted his beard and said: "You go back first, I have my own statement, if there is really anything, I will not protect it!" ”

Ting Wei retreated satisfied. He had long heard that the general intended to let Dr. Guanglu and Bingji go one step further and be this court lieutenant, and the general has always been lukewarm to himself, in case this thing happens, he can only say goodbye to the old man and return to his hometown, if he can take this opportunity to get rid of Bingji, wouldn't it be happy! Even if it doesn't work, wouldn't it be a beautiful thing if you could use this matter to narrow the distance between you and the general!

The next day, Huo Guang summoned Bingji, first chatting about Wei Hong, and as he was talking, Huo Guang suddenly asked: "Shaoqing, I suddenly remembered an old thing, that is, where are the descendants of the late prince who you saved by resisting the decree now?" ”

Bingji's heart tightened slightly, he knew that the general's city was deep, so he relaxed and said: "Oh, he, if you don't mention me, I'm about to forget him, the court situation was turbulent back then, thanks to the mainstay of the general, saving the Han in the wind and rain, the child's matter was reported to the general, and the general had a compassionate heart, so he ordered the villain to send him out of Chang'an, don't be contaminated with the court, and spend this life as a small citizen." The villain sent him to Du County, where there was a distant relative, and he had not been asked since, and he should be fourteen or fifteen years old now. ”

Huo Guang stared at Bingji solemnly for a while, and suddenly smiled and said: "Shaoqing, now that the world is stable, the Son of Heaven is virtuous all over the world, and he can often think about the poor relatives of Zhou Ji's side branches, if the Son of Heaven knew that his imperial brother's grandson was left behind by the people, and you and I didn't care, how would you feel?" ”

"This ......," Bingji pondered, and deliberately asked, "Is it possible that the general wants to give him money and food?" ”

"Hey, you have to be big-minded, your horizons must be open, and your vision must be far-sighted, otherwise how can you grow for a long time." Huo Guang straightened his robe and said.

Bingji hurriedly saluted and said: "What the general taught is extreme, but the villain is stupid, and he doesn't understand the general's meaning. Although Bingji is already a doctor of Guanglu and is in the middle of the matter, he is extremely humble in front of Huo Guang, who is carrying him.

Huo Guang said with a smile: "When the first emperor died, he left a secret summons and personally passed it on to me that if he waited until Liu Juzhi's grandson came of age and the world was too peaceful, it would be impossible for him to interfere in the government again, then he could restore his clan membership and raise him so that he could be raised, so I would like to ask him to restore his identity." ”

Bingji was overjoyed in his heart, and still said lightly: "If he can really restore his clan status, it is really the great kindness of the general to him." This kid has already been a commoner, and the prince has been gone for more than ten years, and the people have long forgotten him, even if he comes back to Chang'an now, he is just a flat-headed commoner, how can he do Fan Chaozheng. Besides, when Zide is the world today, the four seas return to the heart, and there are great generals with outstanding talents and loyalty, although Bigan, Yin Yi, Zhang Liang, and Xiao He are not as good as the generals, who in the world can do Fan Chaozheng? ”

Huo Guang said with a smile: "This is a mistake, this is the kindness of the emperor, it is the kindness of today's son, I just do things step by step according to the will of the Son of Heaven." As he spoke, he walked out, and just took two steps, he suddenly turned his head and asked, "What is the name of the first prince's vein?" ”

Bingji was bluffed, but fortunately he was used to it under Huo Guang before, so he frowned and thought: "The villain casually took a folk name at that time, and I don't remember it for a long time, it seems to be a name like 'sick', I don't know if I changed it later."

Huo Guang's face was solemn, and he nodded slightly: "Okay, it's okay, Shaoqing doesn't have to worry, you have a heartfelt understanding of today, and you will definitely be able to go to the next level." Also, your bookstore is called Tian or something, and you can't use it anymore! With that, he strode away.

Bingji hurriedly bowed: "Thank you for the general's help!" ”。 After speaking, he also followed the gallop forward to serve the carriage and horse for Huo Guang.
