“

The guards at the scene put on black masks, the sky was getting darker and darker, accompanied by thunder and lightning, the blood on the ground was quickly washed away by the rain, and more blood flowed towards the ditches on both sides, but before it flowed in, the guards on both sides took the sweep and cleaned it up, carried it away with the corpse, and threw it into the mass grave on the outskirts of the capital!

After the family of Xia Manjiang, the general who once died, was cut off and decapitated, they were all buried there, and today, the family of Su Zhe, the prime minister of the past four or five years, still came here, in the big pit that had been dug a long time ago, piles of corpses and severed heads were thrown into it by the guards, a handful of yellow pictures were filled in, and then some yellow leaves and dry grass were thrown on, no one knew that the once glorious Su family ended up like this, let alone that they were buried here, this is a mockery, it is cruel, but in the eyes of the general public, This is also a fact, who died not a fire and became a handful of loess here, covered with weeds?

Although the time of death is sooner or later, from the moment of birth, it is on the road to return, but the experience of life, as well as a beating heart, everything you do, will always return to yourself, there are good, bad, unfortunate, happy, sad, happy, but there is an idiom that we always hang on our lips, karma!

This retribution may come too late, maybe it won't come for a lifetime, maybe it won't be seen until it dies, maybe you need to make a deal with the devil yourself in exchange for justice and revenge in your heart, such as Xia Yinbing! For her, she is walking a path that cannot see the sun of tomorrow at any time, and from the moment she is reborn and chooses revenge, she is insulated from the light, and she slowly walks herself on the path of the devil, gambling everything she has.

The imperial capital looks a little cold, a little cold, the fallen leaves fall from the bare tree trunks, the pedestrians on the road hurriedly walked away, only the lonely and cold streets remained, Nan Xuanye stepped on the wet streets, under the umbrella of Cheng Yu next to him, and slowly walked towards the palace gate.

Entering the door of the palace with blue tiles and white walls, Cheng Yu stood at the door, watching the crown prince Nan Xuanye in front of him take the oil-paper umbrella and walk towards the palace.

God seems to be in a particularly bad mood today, the rain has been dripping from morning to dusk, the autumn wind is wrapped in the cold blowing rain in the air obliquely towards people's faces, clothes are smashed over, blowing on people's faces like a knife cut, an autumn rain and a cold, the palace is connected to the fire cage early, the outside is cold, frozen so that people grin their teeth to doubt life, and the interior is charming.

The temperature in the palace is at least more than 20 degrees, a group of young women are only wearing a gauze dress, with a bun on their heads, long sleeves are good at dancing, their waists are soft and smooth, and they twist and swing on the high platform, surrounded by the gentle accompaniment of the orchestral guqin gonghou, and the people who listen are fascinated, drinking wine in their mouths, holding barbecue meat in their hands, and the warm and pleasant temperature around them.

Yes, today's old emperor got rid of the enemy, the dragon heart was happy, and he invited hundreds of officials, and the person who once befriended Prime Minister Nan Xuanye and even went to gnaw his feet, now scolded Prime Minister Su Zhena, and scolded the ancestors and ancestors of the Su family, and heard the old emperor laugh, and his voice completely overshadowed the sound of silk and bamboo around him.

When the chief eunuch quietly walked to the old emperor and said that Nan Xuan was going to meet him at night, the old emperor's eyes sank obviously, he thought for a while, and said to the chief eunuch: "Let him come over in two days, let this matter settle for two days, he just executed Su Zhe's family today, there is blood in his hands, this is a banquet, too conflicting, bad luck!" ”

"The prince said, I came to you today to say something else!" The old eunuch was silent for a while and said.

"Oh? You ask him directly about something, and say it directly! The old emperor Nan Wuyan took a sip of wine, smiled at the people below, raised his hand to get the wine glass, and took a sip.

At this time, Nan Xuanye, who was standing outside and was being blown by cold water, listened to the laughter and laughter in the hall, his hands were tightly clasped together, his bones were distinct, and his eyes were dark.

"Your Highness! Su Zhe was beheaded today, he was in a bad mood, if it was about him, you would come back in two days! The old minister has also delayed for you for a while, do you still have anything to explain to the emperor? The old eunuch's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, looking at the prince Nan Xuanye in front of him.

Nan Xuanye groaned for a while, took out a silver ingot of fifty taels from his arms and stuffed it into the sleeve of the old eunuch, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "You just tell your father that Xiao Wang wants to set up a palace maid next to him as the crown princess!" The ceremony is taking place tonight! ”

The old eunuch was obviously stunned, as if he was watching a joke, looking at the crown prince Nan Xuanye in front of him, but it was also a glance, he nodded silently and walked towards the palace hall.

The old eunuch's heart was simply shattered! The prime minister rebelled and colluded with the Xiongnu in the north, trying to rebel, suppressing his nephew Prince Nan Xuanye, and his uncle and nephew turned against him, and now the nephew personally cut down his rebellious prime minister's uncle's family, and now he should not marry the children of important ministers in the court to regain strength for himself? is so anxious to set up a palace maid to be his crown princess, is his brain in water?

The old eunuch shook his head, walked through the lively scene of everyone drinking and fighting, walked to the old emperor in the main hall from the side, and whispered Nan Xuanye's words to the old emperor: "His Royal Highness the Prince, please agree, he wants to set up a palace maid as the crown princess!" ”

"Hah! What the? Did I hear it wrong, or did you say it wrong, the prince, do you want to make a palace maid the crown princess? The old emperor was stunned, the wine glass in his hand was put down fiercely, and he snorted coldly: "Su Zhe is whimsical, he dares to collude with his relatives to plot against me, and now he has just beheaded his uncle, and now he is going to marry a palace maid, you go and tell him!" It's okay to marry a side concubine! Concubine, don't even think about it! The crown princess will be the mother of the country in the future, will a palace maid be the mother of the country? Monkey business! You go tell him! ”

The old emperor was obviously disinterested, and he was no longer in the mood to watch the song and dance below, but his heart began to be crooked! If this prince dares to immediately collude with the important ministers of the court, he will be the first to suppress him! Let him sober up!

The current ministers, especially the important ministers, are similar to Prime Minister Su Zhe, marrying daughters to seek wealth and nobility, relying on nepotism, and began to be powerful and prosperous in the court, and to be an uncle and a moth! Go and destroy the country of his Great Zhou! If the crown prince dares to come in this sensitive period, he will consider whether this prince should be replaced by another son!

When the chief eunuch brought the emperor's original words to Nan Xuanye, the corners of Nan Xuanye's lips hooked slightly, he was just testing the emperor's mind! After all, it was his uncle who was killed today, and he was really worried that the old emperor would love the house and Wu! transferred his hatred for the dead former prime minister Su Zhe to him, especially the old emperor blocked him out of the door and didn't let him enter the palace to report, this matter made him very angry and very concerned!

At this time, he was blocked by his father Nan Wuyan for the first time and was not allowed to enter the hall, his heart began to be faintly uneasy, although he has been very careful, and he has long seen through that his father is a suspicious person, and he is not willing to give trust easily, even Prime Minister Su Zhe has been by his side for more than ten years, he is careful, does not violate his taboos, and always spends his time to please the old emperor, which slowly gains some favor and reuse, but now, when he is hurt again, he wants the old emperor to slowly trust a person, I'm afraid it's impossible, even if this man is his son!

If you add one more word in front of your son, royal! That's even more cruel, more realistic, before his own Zen position, he was always on guard against any of his sons, he was to kill his own Lao Tzu and his brother to succeed in ascending to the throne, and naturally he would prevent his children from following Lao Tzu and chopping Lao Tzu, how miserable!

At night, the old emperor dreamed that the crown prince Nan Xuan broke into the main hall with someone carrying a big knife and wearing armor, and a knife stabbed him in the heart, which frightened him to wake up from the dream immediately! A cold sweat! At this time, I saw that it was indeed a curtain blown up by the wind, and a cold wind blowing in from the window.

"Your Majesty! What's wrong with you? The old eunuch who was squatting on one side and sleeping on the outside quickly walked in with a lantern, and at this time the maids on both sides walked in and lit the candle shelves in the palace.

"It's okay! It's okay! Disperse! I'll just sit down for a while! "Found out that it was a dream, the old emperor Nan Wuyan, wiped the cold sweat on his face with a handkerchief, curled up on the bed alone, pondered for a while, and then he found that the fear in his heart was still magnified in the dream! The people of the Su family have the ambition of rebellion, so Su Zhe's nephew, Nan Xuanye, seems to be very possible! . “

The old emperor Nan Wuyan sat all night, sleepless all night, watching the sky outside the window slowly brighten, in fact, his nightmare was not only the prince Nan Xuan in front of him came to force the palace at night, but what scared him even more was that he dreamed of the former prime minister Su Zhe, who had just died, a man with a broken head and no corpse, a head actually jumped in front of him and made him pay for his life!

This incident, the sequelae left by this nightmare is too serious, his heart is very restless, the mood of the day is in an extremely uncomfortable mood, breakfast did not eat, the morning court did not go up, so he hurriedly dressed and came to the house of the national teacher Dugu Luo, who had not appeared for many days.

The emperor personally came to the courtier's mansion, and the national teacher Dugu Luo, who was cowering in the mansion to recuperate, a man who had no kung fu to protect himself, personally greeted him at the door at this time.

"Your Majesty, you can summon your ministers directly, come here in person, you are really flattered!" Dugu Luo came out directly in a cyan windbreaker and welcomed the emperor Nan Wuyan in front of him into the mansion.

At this time, the maids on both sides immediately served good fragrant tea, rice, and some fragrant and delicious side dishes, and Dugu Luo personally brought the tea to Emperor Nan Wuyan.

"Your Majesty, you taste this tea, this is planted by the minister himself, it has just been fried in the past two days, you can taste it, how does it taste." The national teacher Dugu Luo looked at the emperor in front of him and said enthusiastically.

"The taste is good, the tea is fragrant, and the tea flavor is very good." The old emperor Nan Wuyan poked lightly and said.

"Recently, why didn't I see you enter the palace and accompany me?" The old emperor Nan Wuyan glanced at the national teacher in front of him and said with a smile.

"The minister doesn't dare, he has been hiding in the mansion for the past few days, after all, the minister was introduced by the former prime minister Su Zhe, and now he has become a thief again, the minister knows that he usually gets closer to the present, after all, this is also to return Su Zhe's favor, if it weren't for this introduction, I'm afraid the minister wouldn't be able to see the emperor!" After Dugu Luo finished speaking, he knelt on the ground, his slender eyebrows and eyes narrowed slightly, and quietly observed the old emperor's expression, or it can also be said that he was testing the old emperor's tone, if the old emperor really couldn't tolerate it, he would consider running away in time, no matter what, life is the most important thing.

"You are you, he is him, he deserves it, you are one of the good things he has done, this time, it can be regarded as a warning to the courtiers, no matter how much merit there is, once you do illegal things such as collaborating with the enemy and treason, and do things that are unfair to the people of the Great Zhou, you will be dealt with seriously!" After the old emperor finished speaking, he gently slapped the table, and the table shook and the tea overflowed.

"What the emperor said is that this Su Zhe really deserves to be killed, and what he did is indeed intolerable!" After the national teacher Dugu Luo finished speaking, he covered his mouth and coughed, constantly clearing his throat, and finally his body shook twice.

"Are you feeling unwell? National teacher, do you want to ask the imperial doctor to come and show you? The old emperor asked the national teacher opposite with concern.

"Thank you for the emperor's kindness, the minister has already seen the imperial doctor, is taking medicine to recuperate, recently Su Zhe's family was killed, the minister understands, the emperor must be very sad, I don't know how you are recently?" Dugu Luo took a sip of tea and asked carefully.

"Actually, there is no need to hide the national teacher, recently, I have been having nightmares, dreaming that the prince took Su Zhe, the prime minister who had just been executed the day before yesterday, to force the palace together, and put a knife on my neck, I didn't agree, and the prince almost killed me!" The old emperor said worriedly.

"This may be a day and a night, after all, this Su Zhe really participated in the rebellion, fortunately he was denounced by His Royal Highness the Prince, otherwise the consequences are really unimaginable." The national teacher said with a smile.

"This prince usually I have forbidden him to participate in the court politics, I didn't expect such a big thing to be exposed by him, if he usually didn't contact Su Zhe, didn't participate in the court politics, he couldn't have known so much, I just came back now, this matter is still too mysterious, now the prince has been sent abroad, only the prince stays in the capital alone, which is equivalent to the prince being the only one, and now the prime minister's seat is vacant, and the people in the court in the capital who can serve as the prime minister are really not, my physical strength is limited, and my energy is limited, For many things, I still have to start relying on the crown prince. ”

"It's just that now when I think of the situation when the prince is in power in the future, and then contact my nightmare, I am really worried that this matter will become a reality, I am very worried, in fact, this rebellion is the participation of Prime Minister Su Zhe and the prince, but the prince betrayed his uncle in advance, and now the thief is shouting to catch the thief! I received a report from the courtiers this morning, some people said that on the eve of the beheading of Su Zhe's family, there were jailers who secretly interrogated Su Zhe, Su Yan, and Su Jie, Su Jie died on the spot, Su Yan was punished by a Trojan horse, Su Jie was killed on the spot, this matter, I suppressed it, and also sent someone to investigate secretly, and I have not found out who secretly gave the order, but this matter, I don't believe that it has nothing to do with the prince! ”

"It's really a headache, now when I think of the situation in the court, I am a little worried, and I dare not hand over the government to the prince!" After the old emperor finished speaking, he frowned and took another big sip of tea, narrowing his eyes slightly.

"Actually, Your Majesty, there are so many princes around you now, I heard that this rebellion in Northern Xinjiang, in addition to the eldest son of the military department Shangshu, General Song Chengxuan, the defender of Northern Xinjiang, made meritorious efforts to quell the chaos in time, and it took ten days to successfully repel the Xiongnu in the north, and the southernmost king of Southern Xinjiang sent the guards of Northern Xinjiang to support overnight, so, this battle, our Great Zhou won that is called a beautiful!"

When the national teacher Dugu Luo said this, his eyebrows fluttered, his face was bright, and he didn't look sick at all.

But this incident still brought good news to the helpless old emperor Nan Wuyan, he put down the teacup excitedly, his eyes lit up, he held the hands of the national teacher Dugu Luo, and asked loudly: "Really, the rebellion in Northern Xinjiang has been quelled?" Why don't I know? The eldest son of the military department Shangshu is really a talent, what did you just say, and the king of Northern Xinjiang? Are you talking about the third prince, Nan Yanlie? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, this incident is also something that has just been settled in the past two days, the northern Xinjiang refugees on this side of the capital wept excitedly after learning that their homeland returned to our Great Zhou, in the afternoon, they have gone back under the protection of the defenders of the capital, the king of Southern Xinjiang and General Song Chengxuan are now arranging the guards on the shore, I believe that the good news will definitely reach your ears as soon as possible!"

"Good! Good! Great news! I'm really happy right now! National teacher, you really care about the people, listen to you, I am in a very good mood now! This time, Song Chengxuan and Yan Lie will definitely be rewarded! Thanks to them! How well can northern Xinjiang recover this time? The old emperor's eyes lit up with joy, and he almost stood up happily.

"Your Majesty, aren't you worried that the crown prince is alone? This time, why not reward the crown prince, Song Chengxuan, the eldest son of the military department, and the king of southern Xinjiang, together to create a balanced situation, let the king of southern Xinjiang contain the prince and prevent the prince from being alone! In this way, I believe that your nightmare will definitely be cured! National teacher Dugu Luo said with a smile.

"So, why do I like you so much, you are simply a roundworm in my stomach! I heard you talk about the incident in the northern Xinjiang this time, and I also planned to do the same in my heart, let's think of going together! The old emperor Nan Wuyan smiled very happily.

"Thank you for your kindness!" The national teacher Dugu Luo stood up from his seat again and thanked the emperor Nan Wuyan.

"That's it! Okay, I'm here for you, this headache is more than half better, okay, don't bother the national teacher, this time, you can rest well! After the old emperor Nan Wuyan finished speaking, he stood up and was about to go out.

"Your Majesty, this is the Qingxin Pill recently refined by the minister, you can use it as a snack after drinking the Changsheng Soup every day, eat one pill a day, and eat it with candied fruit, you can go to the bitter taste, and you can also ensure that you sleep peacefully and are not bothered by nightmares!" After the national teacher Dugu Luo finished speaking, a maid behind him came up with a red box.
