() "You go, Xuanshi Yulong enters the palace! The excerpt will be left in the middle for the time being. The emperor said to Gonggong Cao, who was bowing his head on the side.

"Is the emperor going out today?" Concubine Li took the emperor's arm and asked in a coquettish voice. The emperor has not been out of Chang'en Palace for a few days, and since he has announced a meeting with General Shi, he can't summon him in the palace of the concubine.

The emperor said "um" and pinched Concubine Li's face: "Concubine Ai is waiting for me obediently in the palace, I want to see what these people want to make a fuss!" ”

"The concubine is not at ease! The emperor's cough hasn't healed yet! You can't get angry anymore! Or, the concubine will accompany you, and the concubine will stay behind, okay, the emperor? Concubine Li gently shook the emperor's arm, looking coquettish.

The emperor's heart warmed at Ruhua's face, and he doted: "Then the concubine will go to the imperial study with me." ”

Outside the imperial study, General Shi's figure stood straight.

It is difficult to see from the back that this is an old man who has suffered from illness, although his body is full of scars, and the imperial doctor once asserted that he could not stand up again, but now he is still standing upright, and his whole body still exudes stubbornness and stubbornness that makes many people headaches and hate.

"General Shi, the emperor announced that you should go in." Gonggong Cao came over, facing the general in front of him who was powerful on the battlefield in the past, and his heart was also very complicated. I still remember that when the first queen saw Shi Yulong, who was just a school guard, she was just like today's emperor, and said angrily: "This Shi Yulong has a stone in his head!" ”

But now, where are those who are full of splendid and high positions? But it was such a stubborn and sick person who stood up and avenged the grievances of those dusty old people.

Shi Yulong stood for a long time, and when he raised his foot, he found that his left leg was a little numb, and his body stumbled slightly, but he immediately refused the support of Gonggong Cao, settled down, and strode in.

"Weichen see the emperor." His saluting movements are not smooth, but he still sees the board and glance on the battlefield back then, and every step is like a thousand pounds.

After all, it is an old man, and when the emperor saw the white-haired general in front of him, he was still a little touched in his heart, but he removed half of the anger in his heart: "Old Shi, is your body better, does your knee still hurt now?" ”

The arrow pierced the knee back then, and when it was taken out, two bones were broken, and after lying for half a month, it still needed two people to hold it before it could barely get into the carriage.

"Thank you for your care." Shi Yulong didn't raise his head, but his voice was a little choked: "The minister's knees are not in the way." ”

"Why don't you recuperate at home, and then get involved in these things?" The emperor sighed, in his opinion, the affairs of the Xue family are just the introduction of the court fight, Shi Yulong has always stayed away from the center of the court, and this time he is afraid that it will also be used as a gun.

"Your Majesty!" Shi Yulong kowtowed heavily: "The old man was wronged, and the minister couldn't sleep at night!" He lifted up and looked at the emperor who was a little blurry on the dragon chair with tears in his eyes.

He was convinced that General Xue was wronged, and he also believed that the emperor was deceived. He has not forgotten the friendship of those years of battlefield battles, and he does not want to believe that others will forget, even if that person is the Ninety-Five Supreme, even if that person is at the peak of power.

"Wronged? It was an iron case determined by the three divisions, how dare you conclude that it was wronged? Who have you been bewitched into running to me and crying out? "The emperor seemed to have been touched by the scales, and he came up in a rage.

"Emperor Mingjian!" Shi Yulong's voice was desolate, all these years he stayed away from the court at home in the name of recuperating from his injuries, it's not that he couldn't see through, before this trip, the prince told him again and again, but he stubbornly refused to believe it in his heart, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, once the evidence was presented, the emperor would investigate thoroughly to the end, he would return the Xue family to innocence, he would blame himself, and he would miss the old man, and now it seems that he is too naïve.

His voice sounded a little erratic, and the words he said were all after Donggong had been thinking about it for a long time, and the melons on his back were ripe. However, it was not what he wanted to say. Has it come to this point? Has the friendship between the iron-blooded battlefield and each other finally disappeared?

"Your Majesty, the minister has an old man from the Western Regions, and the minister has a long conversation with him for a few days, and during the conversation, the minister found many doubts about the matter back then, and implored the emperor to retry the case!"

"What an old man! What a suspicion! It's nonsense! The Emperor snorted heavily.

The longer he stayed and the more he talked, the more chilled Shi Yulong became. He replied indifferently: "Whether it's nonsense or not, the court will know it as soon as you check it, and the emperor doesn't have to be angry!" ”

"I don't want to be angry!" The Emperor coughed a few times. The curtain behind him moved slightly, and Gonggong Cao raised his eyelids slightly on the side.

"Old Shi, you are also old, so you should take care of yourself at home! I know you, I believe in you, and I won't blame you! These things are not your business! The emperor suppressed the anger in his heart and gave the old man the last affection.

It's just that Shi Yulong's voice became calmer and calmer: "It's hard for the minister to stand by in the affairs of the deceased!" The Xue family is full of lives, and the ministers are uneasy day and night. ”

"Then bring that old man to me." The Emperor narrowed his eyes, and his voice became cold.

"Since he is a key witness, the minister cannot take him in and out at will. The minister has already arranged this person in a proper place, just waiting for the emperor to open a court to try the case, and he will naturally be able to tell the truth in front of the world. ”

"So, you're still guarding against me?"

"Don't dare! The ministers are just afraid that there will be young people in the court and blind the saints. ”

The emperor couldn't help but sneer twice, and forcibly held back the discomfort in his throat: "Shi Yulong, this kind of iron case is not something you can turn over if you want to. ”

"The minister's position is low, but General Xue has a very high reputation in the hearts of the people in the government and the opposition, and now there is a discussion among the people, and the minister believes that this matter will become more and more intense, and he also asks the emperor to make a decision as soon as possible."

"Are you trying to force me to overturn the case?" The emperor shouted angrily, and the tea bowl in his hand was smashed with a thud.

"Don't dare!" Shi Yulong also raised his voice: "Your Majesty! Brother Xue is loyal, how can the emperor bear it! ”

"Faithful? Is this your faithfulness? The emperor threw his previous fold in front of him: "Shi Yulong! I think of the old feelings, don't you despise the monarch again and again!"

"Your Majesty!" Shi Yulong's voice finally calmed down: "The minister has the courage to implore the emperor to investigate this case thoroughly!" The minister believes that justice is in the hearts of the people, and the deceased also has wisdom. The way of black and white in the world will not be confused after all. ”

The emperor's breath churned in his heart, and he finally couldn't help coughing. The cough could not be stopped, and he could only be heard coughing in the empty and wide palace.

Shi Yulong pursed his lips tightly.

Finally there was a bit of movement behind the curtain. Concubine Li walked out, walked to the emperor's side and patted him lightly on the back, and said sharply: "General Shi, you are so bold!" Make the emperor angry like this! Do you still have the way of a ruler in your eyes? ”

Shi Yulong kept his head down when he saw Concubine Li come out, and he didn't dare to look directly, but he didn't answer when he heard Concubine Li's words. After the emperor's breath calmed down, Shi Yulong said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, this is the imperial study, and the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics!" This lady appears here, I am afraid that it is not in accordance with the palace rules, and I ask the emperor to judge! ”

The emperor took a sip of ginseng soup from Concubine Li's hand, and said coldly: "Concubine Li is serving me according to the requirements of the imperial doctor, and she also knows the way of the monarch as a woman, what about you?" ”

Shi Yulong said loudly: "For a minister, loyalty and truthfulness are also the way to be a minister. ”

The emperor snorted: "Shi Yulong, it seems that you have not recuperated at home in the past five years!" You don't appreciate my love for you at all! ”

"The emperor's love for Weichen is remembered by Weichen! It's just Brother Xue," Shi Yulong's voice was a little choked again: "The minister believes in Brother Xue's innocence, and he is willing to protect his life for this!" ”

"Net worth?" The Emperor repeated it gently, with an imperceptible murderous aura in his tone.

"Yes. Net worth life. Shi Yulong also repeated.
