The rooster crowed three times, and the sound of Guo Sui and Yu Linwei's horses' hooves was far away. Bingji arranged for Tian Zun to take Zhao, Hu and the sick people back home disguised as civilian women, and told Tian Zun that if the prisoners could not be saved, they would tell the two to take the sick and fly away, and not to return to Chang'an, and if they could keep it, they would listen to the orders.

Here, Guo Sui couldn't care about freshening up and eating, got off the horse and went straight to Jianzhang Palace, and he couldn't care about the cold and blue on his face. The Son of Heaven was old, and he was thinking about state affairs all day long, and he woke up very early every day, and saw Guo Sui kneeling down with a disgraced face, and said coldly: "The errand is done?" ”

Guo Sui had already straightened out his rhetoric again and replied: "Your Majesty, the court lieutenant and supervisor Bingji are unreasonable, and they dare to openly resist the decree, saying that the Han Dynasty governs the country according to the law, and the cases that have not yet been decided cannot be killed indiscriminately. ”

"Oh, Bingji is a tough one." The Son of Heaven didn't seem to be angry, and asked while slowly unfolding a roll of bamboo slips, "Are you here to invite soldiers or to intercede?" ”

"Your Majesty, the little one neither invites soldiers nor intercedes, and has important things to do, can you let the left and right attendants avoid it first?" The Son of Heaven also knew that Guo Sui was quite safe, so he gave permission.

"Your Majesty, Bingji said that the prince has a grandson, the son of the emperor's grandson Liu Jin, who was reduced to the county mansion prison back then, and he was able to save his life by mistake, and he guaranteed his life, so the little one didn't dare to act rashly." Guo Sui said slowly.

In order to prevent the Son of Heaven from being sad and touching the mold, the courtiers generally did not mention the matter of the prince Liu Ju, and the people in the inner palace were even more secretive. Since the Son of Heaven scolded the courtiers of the matter of Ti Lichu, the Son of Heaven has not heard the word "prince" for a long time, as if he has forgotten it. When I heard it today, I was shocked, and then I heard that the prince actually had descendants, and unconsciously made a strange sound from his throat, and the past scenes came to my heart again, and my head hurt again.

Guo Sui was frightened, and hurriedly slammed his head on the ground with a "bang" and said, "The villain deserves death!" ”

The Son of Heaven didn't say anything, and sighed on his back: "Providence, Providence!" Perhaps, what is owed will be fulfilled in the children and grandchildren. After a long time, the Son of Heaven lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Ask someone to pass Bingji over." ”

When Guo Sui heard this, he was secretly happy in his heart, and things seemed to have embarked on the road they had paved, and he said loudly: "Obey the order!" ”

Bingji was waiting in the county mansion, and Ma was ready. After a while, he came to the Son of Heaven and saw the courtesy of the monarch and ministers. The Son of Heaven asked eagerly: "You said that there is a grandson in the county prison?" ”

"Yes." Bingji was not in a hurry to make a calculation.

"How did the child come about?" The Son of Heaven was really a little anxious.

"The minister thought that it might be that His Majesty was deeply blessed, his descendants were prosperous, and it coincided with the matter of witchcraft, so he would not have time to enter the Zongzheng Mansion in the future. But Huangsun Jin did have this child, it was born to Mrs. Wang Wengxu, back then, Wang Wengxu took the child to fall into the county prison, and all the people who were too close to him died, but the child did not have a name, but fell behind. The minister received the grace of heaven, came to the capital from Lu to serve as the court lieutenant and supervisor, found this child, was dying at the time, looked really pitiful, and found a nurse in prison to raise it, for five years, if it was not for His Majesty's decree yesterday, maybe, the minister did not dare to report, if there is a crime, the minister is willing to die! ”

"Aiqing is well aware of righteousness, generosity and benevolence, what a crime. Does my child have anything to carry with him? The Son of Heaven asked.

"Yes." Bingji had already prepared, there were two things he wrapped layer by layer, and they had been placed in the most secret place in the house, and today he finally saw the sunshine again, Bingji couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, and his hands were a little shaky. When I opened the cloth bag, it was the belly pocket and treasure mirror that I put away five years ago.

After Guo Sui put the thing in the hands of the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven squinted his eyes and looked at it, and said, "This belly pocket is a thing in the palace, but it is not unusual. This bronze mirror, although I am old, but I recognize it carefully, it is what Zhang Qian brought to me back then, there is only one side, I gave it to the queen, not a child of the Wei family, and it is impossible to have it again. The Son of Heaven said, squinted his eyes and leaned back on the dragon chair, as if he was asleep, but the corners of his eyes inadvertently flowed out of the dark tears.

"The minister and the prince have had a few encounters, and now the emperor's great-grandson has fully grown up, and he is heroic at a young age, and he looks very similar to the prince, does Your Majesty want to ...... Do you want to take a look at the emperor's great-grandson? Bingji knew that the most important thing at the moment was the way out of the disease.

"Is there a name?" The Son of Heaven did not answer Bingji's words.

"Back to Your Majesty, in order to pray for the emperor's great-grandson for the disaster, the minister violated the rules and gave the child a nickname, called 'Sick', and I hope Your Majesty will give him a correct name!"

"'Sick' is good, what a nice name, 'Huo Ran is sick', Aiqing has a heart. Where is Guo Sui? "The Son of Heaven said.

"The little ones are here." Guo Sui hurriedly replied.

"Recently, there have been bursts of black crows, hovering over the Imperial Prison, their voices are terrible, this is the heavens are warning me, there are people who are not guilty and cannot appeal, I may really have little time, and the decree will amnesty the world, and all the prisoners in the 23 prisons in Beijing will be released home." The Son of Heaven strives to be right.

"Yes." Guo Sui was secretly happy.

Bingji was overjoyed and said: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Your Majesty is generous and benevolent, and you will be able to be healthy and enjoy happiness forever. ”

"I'm tired, you all go down." The Son of Heaven narrowed his eyes again.

Bingji hurriedly said: "Weichen still has one more matter, I hope to present His Majesty alone." ”

"Okay, Aiqing stays, and everyone else goes down." The Son of Heaven closed his eyes and said. A cadre of people and others all retreated.

Bingji bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, Wechen doesn't dare to speculate on the holy will, but since Wechen eats Junlu, he will do his best to do the king's business, Wechen thinks that someone may take the opportunity to harm the emperor's great-grandson......"

"I thought of it." Without waiting for Bingji to finish speaking, the Son of Heaven spoke: "How can there be such a coincidence in the world, for many years, but all the people who release books have a little benefit, and my sincerity should also move the heavens!" I'll find out what happened. In addition, I have lived in the deep palace for a long time and know everything about the things in this palace, so the idea of making him the prince of the country was dispelled just now, I don't want him to be killed before he reaches the throne, let him grow up freely, a little snake is easier to live than a small dragon! ”

Bingji listened, heartbroken, if the illness has really been established, it is also a huge compensation for the prince, and it will also pull the fate of the sick from the earth to the sky, but the Son of Heaven has arranged it like this, and he can't say anything more. I had to reply, "Your Majesty, Shengming! ”

"Aiqing has a meritorious service, I will arrange it, go down." After the Son of Heaven finished speaking, he leaned back on the dragon chair.

"Your Majesty, what should I do with that illness...... How to arrange it? Bingji still didn't give up. But the Son of Heaven did not move, nor did he seem to hear. Guo Sui hurriedly waved his hand on the side, and he could only give up and slowly retreated.

After Bingji left, Guo Sui thought that the Son of Heaven was asleep, so he brought a golden silk cloud brocade quilt, and was about to cover the Son of Heaven, when the Son of Heaven suddenly opened his mouth and said: "No need, go, call Gou Yi, I want to talk to her." You go in person. ”

In an instant, Mrs. Guo Suitong Bing Hook Yi came to see him. The Son of Heaven said, "Madame, has you ever asked you anything, what is your expression?" ”

Guo Sui replied truthfully: "Back to Your Majesty, Madame asked the little one, what is the matter with the emperor, and what is his expression." ”

The Son of Heaven said "oh" and said, "Xuan her come in, you all retreat, and leave no one behind." ”

"Whoa." A group of people quietly withdrew.

Gou Yi was a little weak-hearted, but she was the best at acting, and she loosened Tianzi's shoulders and rubbed her legs, but she found that none of the attendants were there, and she suddenly panicked.

After a long time, the Son of Heaven spoke: "The autumn wind rises and the white clouds fly, and the grass and trees are yellow and the geese return to the south." Lan has Xiuxi, chrysanthemum has Fang, and Huai Jiaren can't forget. The pan-building boat is in the Fen River, and the middle of the river is Yangsubo. The flute drums are singing and singing, and there is a lot of joy and sorrow. When is it young and strong, but old and old! ”

Mrs. Gou Yi hurriedly said: "This is a poem when Your Majesty was touring Hedong, Your Majesty still remembers it so clearly, and the concubines of this poem also like it the most." ”

"Oh? I just think of the past, how merry and fast, now I can only 'Nai Lao He'. However, before I get old, I have one more thing to ask you. ”

Mrs. Hook Yi chuckled in her heart, not knowing whether it was a blessing or a curse. Hurriedly knelt down and said: "The concubine is willing to live and die with His Majesty!" ”

The Son of Heaven raised his hand hard and said, "Sit beside me." Mrs. Hook Yi rubbed over. Li Mao has been executed by me, and no one will speak ill of you. The Son of Heaven said suddenly.

Mrs. Gou Yi was instantly frightened, with her understanding of the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven must have found out the truth of the matter, and immediately knelt down, but was grabbed by the Son of Heaven. Before Mrs. Gou Yi could say anything, the Son of Heaven said again: "Do you know how Liu Ji died?" ”

Mrs. Gou Yi was already out of her soul, and said with all her strength: "The king of Changyi died violently. ”

The Son of Heaven's eyes widened: "No, I forced him to death, and I forced my own son to death!" Hey, if I don't force the prince to die, Liu Ji won't think about fighting for the throne, and I won't force him to death! One throne killed two of my most heroic sons, they are the pillars of my Han family! As he spoke, tears flowed from the corners of the Son of Heaven's eyes.

Mrs. Hook Yi was covered like chaff, and she didn't know how to answer.

"Gou Yi, don't be afraid, I don't blame you, everyone in the world is the Tao, I hurt you the most, why did I force Liu Ji to die, because I want to establish Ling'er as the prince, now you can rest assured."

"Ahh Mrs. Gou Yi let out an exclamation unconsciously, she wanted to be happy, but she felt that the Son of Heaven looked wrong, so she had to lower her head.

"Where is Guo Sui?" The Son of Heaven exhaled softly. Guo Sui, who was waiting outside the door to listen, came in like a whirlwind and knelt down.

"Mrs. Gou Yi is pampered and arrogant, extravagant, in the harem, unable to concentrate on raising the prince, looking left and right, as if she has a disloyal heart, and gives Bai Aya to hang herself." The Son of Heaven spoke very slowly, with a sad expression, and did not look at Mrs. Hook Yi.

Mrs. Hook Yi's mind buzzed, and she couldn't hold on any longer, so she spread out on the ground and begged bitterly.

The Son of Heaven waved his hand lightly: "Go, go, you can't live again today." ”

Mrs. Hook Yi couldn't believe that yesterday's gentle tiredness had turned into a dream bubble, and she couldn't believe that all the efforts of the past had gone with the wind.

Although Guo Sui was surprised, he was not surprised, and just stood beside Mrs. Gou Yi and waited for her to get up. The Son of Heaven waved his hand again, and Guo Sui called two small yellow doors to help Mrs. Gou Yi up. Mrs. Hook Yi had to turn around, and moved out of the door step by step with a pale face, the sun was just right outside, and the warm sun shone on the cold copper door, which was dazzling, Mrs. Gou Yi avoided the light, and turned her head to look at the Son of Heaven, but only saw a side face that was colder than the bronze door.

Although the Son of Heaven did not look at her, he seemed to be aware of Mrs. Gouyi's actions, and said, "Don't worry, I will do what I say." Guo Sui, this will give the painting of 'Zhou Gong Cheng Dynasty Princes' made by the painter to the general Huo Guang." How clever was Lady Gouyi, she turned her head and gave a wicked smile to the Son of Heaven, then took a step, crossed the knee-high threshold, and disappeared into the vast expanse of daylight.
