Chapter 14 A rake
Liu Ning first asked Zhao Nan and Mingfu what the situation was now. Zhao Nan replied: "Concubine Yan has already agreed, and Liubin and Mingfu have also said that they have moved the brothers and sisters of the restaurant, and Liubin has already taken them into the palace." ”
Liuning nodded, Mingfu was more concerned about the situation on Liuning's side, Liuning repeated the conversation between herself and the princess, Mingfu said angrily: "What is she, what does she mean!" I thought she was a princess, right? ”
Zhao Nan asked Ming Fu to calm down first, and then asked Liuning: "What do you mean when you say this, do you suspect that the person behind this incident is Princess Huajin?" Is it because she is dissatisfied with Tang Changyu and you? Would the emperor make such a big move because of the princess's provocation? It's incredible. ”
Liu Ning shook his head and smiled indifferently: "Of course it can't be, I can see that although the princess said something bad, she didn't expect the matter to be so serious, she just wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of me, I'm afraid it's the emperor who controls everything, or someone we don't know." ”
Mingfu asked incomprehensibly: "You know everything, you know that this is the princess's trap, and you still jump into it?" ”
Liu Ning nodded firmly: "For the sake of Changyu, I have no choice. Liu Ning looked out the window lightly, the sun was shining, there was no shadow, and there was no trace of anyone coming back, "How long has my brother been there?" ”
Mingfu also looked out and replied, "It's been about two hours." ”
Liuning's brows furrowed slightly, Zhao Nan heard Liuning say this, looked at Liuning like this, and asked suspiciously, "What suspicions do you have?" ”
Liuning nodded and said: "I suspect that the brother and sister of the wine shop may have been bought by others a long time ago, even if they agree to my brother to testify, they may also be beaten up, I want to enter the palace and go to the emperor." ”
Zhao Nan stopped Liuning, his brother entrusted this girl to his own hands, he must fulfill his responsibility, and persuaded Liuning: "You are sensitive now, the emperor must know that you have returned, just waiting for you to send it, we can wait a little longer, think about whether there is any other way." ”
Liu Ning didn't argue with Zhao Nan anymore, and replied firmly: "If God is destined to save Changyu only this way, then I have no choice." Mingfu and Zhao Nan still wanted to stop it, but after Liuning finished speaking, he resolutely turned around and rushed to the palace, leaving Zhao Nan and Mingfu in the house in a hurry but there was nothing they could do.
Mingfu asked Zhao Nan with some irritation: "Why don't you stop her, what if A-Ning also has an accident!" Mingfu anxiously paced back and forth in the room, "By the way, why don't you go and find Lin Yilan and Wen Hai, their father is not also an important figure in the court, everyone is a friend, and they won't help out." ”
Zhao Nan was also very irritable in his heart, and he couldn't maintain any image at this time, and replied impatiently: "A-Ning is just iron-hearted, what can I do to follow Changyu's footsteps!" I also know to look for them, but they don't know where to go, and they didn't say hello before leaving, besides, Wen Hai's father has never been a good person, don't talk nonsense here if you don't know! ”
Mingfu was a little angry by Zhao Nan's attitude, thinking of all the things before, Zhao Nan had been indifferent for so many days, and walked away angrily, leaving Zhao Nan alone in the room depressed and sad.
Liuning was on his way to the palace, and something happened in the palace.
After Liubin took the Yan brothers and sisters into the palace, he had just saluted the emperor, and Wanyan arrived, and the emperor was very surprised that Wanyan would come here, so he hurriedly asked Wanyan to sit beside him.
When Wanyan walked up, she looked at the brothers and sisters of Liubin and Yan, sat next to Li Shimin with a smile on her face, and said very gently: "Your Majesty, the concubines are also here for this matter, you won't blame the concubines for interfering in the government." ”
Li Shimin's originally irritable mood suddenly eased a little, and he smiled softly: "Of course not, you and I will listen to what General Liu has to say." After speaking, he turned his gaze to the three kneeling below, and his face returned to its former solemnity and majesty.
Liubin replied very respectfully, and repeated the matter as it was: "Marshal Tang was passing by a wine shop that day and met Li Mingyi who robbed the people's daughter, so when he saw that he was uneven, he drew a knife to help, so he beat Li Mingyi. ”
Li Shimin remained silent, turned his eyes from Liubin to Yan Qiushui, and asked noncommittally: "Is everything General Liu said true?" ”
Yan Qiushui seemed to be intimidated by the majesty of the emperor, a little frightened, and replied tremblingly: "The grass people dare not deceive the saint, the real situation that day is just as Lord Li said, it was Marshal Tang who was unruly in front of him, and he hurt people, and today the general threatened the grass people with the life of his sister, and the grass people had to come, the emperor is above, and I hope that the emperor will be the master of the grass people, and the grass people will be fair." ”
Liubin didn't expect Yan Qiushui to say such a thing, and it didn't take long for the simple brother and sister to change their faces, Liubin was furious, stood up suddenly, walked quickly in front of Yan Qiushui, and directly punched Yan Qiushui, Yan Qiushui had no defense, had no power to resist, was knocked to the ground, and a trace of blood red oozed from the corner of his mouth.
Yan Qiushui's sister Yan Luoxia stepped forward to stop her, and Liubin wanted to dodge, although this brother and sister were hateful, and Liubin would not do anything to a woman, but Liubin just blocked it with his arm, and without force, Yan Luoxia fell out heavily.
Seeing this deception, Liubin was even more annoyed in his heart, grabbed Yan Qiushui's collar, and yelled: "Why are you lying!" Why don't you tell the truth to the emperor! You said! Who the hell bought you to lie! How can there be such an ungrateful person as you in this world! ”
Liubin looks feminine and feminine, and usually looks soft and weak, but he is also very fierce when he starts to go crazy, Li Shimin and Wanyan, who were sitting in high positions, were really startled, and hurriedly called the guards to escort them.
The guards finally controlled Liubin, Yan Qiushui broke free from Liubin's shackles, crawled forward with a rolling belt, knelt down in a place to ensure safety, and pointed at Liubin with trembling fingers and complained to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, you can see it, General Liu's is so threatening, he dares to do this in front of you, and it is even more unimaginable how much loss the small one has suffered!" Please ask the emperor to call the shots for the villain! Emperor! ”
Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "I know, you and your sister should go first now, and reward one hundred taels of gold." ”
Yan Qiushui kowtowed again and again to thank him, and hurriedly left the Jinluan Treasure Hall with his sister, Liubin was still controlled by the soldiers, and Li Shimin asked the soldiers to withdraw again, and there were only three people left in the Jinluan Treasure Palace.
Liubin knew that he was impulsive just now, and his behavior couldn't help but be useless and might make things worse, so he knelt down again and pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty, just now Weichen was too impulsive in a hurry, and I hope that the emperor will forgive the sin, Weichen will do things alone, and please don't be angry with Changyu, and Weichen is willing to vouch for his life, every word Weichen says is a thing, and I hope the emperor will be clear." ”
Li Shimin didn't seem to be angry because of this, but asked Liubin to get up, Liubin insisted on kneeling down, Li Shimin could only helplessly say: "You and Marshal Tang are both good brothers who were born and died together with me on the battlefield, and I also believe in you, but the witnesses were found by yourself, and now the evidence is ironclad, and I am also very embarrassed, why don't we wait and see, will there be new evidence?" ”
Liubin had no choice but to keep kneeling there to show his determination, Li Shimin didn't pay attention to it, but turned to Wanyan, who had not said a word, and asked, "Isn't Concubine Ai also here for this matter?" What does Concubine Ai have to say now? ”
Wanyan was suddenly a little confused, she couldn't read Li Shimin's thoughts, and she didn't know how Li Shimin wanted to deal with this matter at this time, so she could only wait patiently, waiting for whether things would take a turn for the better, and said with a slight smile: "What the emperor says is what it is." ”
Li Shimin seemed to be very satisfied with this answer, nodded, and leisurely began to review the music on the table, none of the three of them spoke, and in the silence it seemed that the sound of a needle falling could be heard, Li Shimin seemed to have a firm grasp, waiting, waiting for the arrival of Liuning.
Liuning rode his horse all the way, and when he arrived at the gate of the palace, he took out the token when he was still in the barracks, and the soldiers guarding the gate were also people who participated in the Turkic war, so he naturally recognized Liuning, and Liuning was a corporal in the army, and he was considerate of every soldier, and won a lot of reputation.
The soldier repeatedly looked at Liuning, who was standing in front of him, and repeatedly confirmed that this was a big living person and not a ghost, and had a feeling of panic, and stammered and asked, "Liu...... Hello General Liu, you, why did you come back. ”
Liuning's matter was urgent, so he didn't say anything polite to him, and said bluntly: "I have something important to go to the palace to see the emperor, let me in quickly." The soldiers didn't dare to stop it, Liu Ning entered the palace smoothly, and not long after leaving, Princess Huajin's carriage also arrived.
Liu Ning came all the way to the front of the Jinluan Treasure Palace, and before entering, he took a deep breath to calm down, so that he could be as calm as possible to face this complicated matter.
Liu Ning restrained his timidity and uncertainty, walked in step by step, with rare calmness and calmness, in Liubin's shocked gaze, he saluted the emperor and Wanyan: "The people's daughter Liuning has seen the emperor, Yan Concubine Niangniang, long live the emperor, long live long live, long live the mother, long live the mother, long live the thousand years old." ”
Wanyan never expected such a situation in front of her, but Li Shimin was as expected, so she calmed Liuning, looked at Liubin again, and said with a smile: "General Liu, don't come to harm, it seems." Among you, you are the one who knows the most about current affairs. ”
