Chapter 206, Tell the Truth
On the third day, His Royal Highness King Liang came down to worship, the father and son of the Chu family had been waiting for him for a long time, and when he heard that King Liang had arrived, Young Master Chu ordered Chu Huaixian: "Go and welcome." Chu Huaixian was ordered to come out, and at the head of the road closest to the shadow wall, King Liang had already paced in by himself. He smiled all over his face: "Huaixian, there is a poem that says well, when the title of the gold list is inscribed, the cave room is ......" Speaking of this, King Liang suddenly remembered Mrs. Chu Shao, swallowed the words back, and turned to Chu Huaixian: "How are you?" ”
"I'm fine," Chu Huaixian said. King Liang went inside with him, and when he saw the newly turned soil beside the pavilions on both sides, he said, "What is newly planted?" Chu Huaixian pointed to King Liang: "What my father likes is pine and cypress." ”
Passing through this dark green bush, not far from Young Master Chu's study. The young master stood under the corridor, and when he saw King Liang coming, he greeted him with a smile: "Your Highness, you have to be idle today, dare you be idle for half a day?" King Liang also smiled: "Boss, you know that I have something to do, and this floating life is idle for half a day, and the princes and grandchildren have no chance." ”
King Liang also came after the palace test. He was not without worries: "I said that several scholars jointly asked for help, and the soldiers and horses tried and interrogated, and there was no assassin." Who said Assassin in the first place? ”
"The assassins didn't, but they found out a lot of things." Young Master Chu stroked his forehead anxiously, and looked at King Liang like a torch. King Liang was smart and knew the trick, and immediately asked: "I came for my house slaves, they should be proud of the palace test, but now it will be postponed to next year, maybe next year, although I don't want to be an official immediately, I am sorry for them." Think about them, and then think about the candidates all over the world, ten years of hard work, this year is a delay. ”
Young Master Chu slowly reasoned: "The examiner took bribes, the candidates bribed, and pulled out an incident a few years ago," King Liang also heard about it, he was okay with the members of the court, thought about it for a while, and said sympathetically: "Lord Du and General Lu of the Ministry of War are all people who are close to Prime Minister Zhang, the emperor has seen the anger, Lord Du is lighter, and he will be fined for one year, General Lu was imprisoned, and Prime Minister Zhang Cheng entered the palace yesterday and was also reprimanded. ”
"Yes, once the old things are pulled out, the old things are unbearable." When Young Master Chu said this, he glanced at his son. Chu Huaixian withdrew and sat down on the railing outside the curtain. Thinking about Prime Minister Zhang's face at this time, the eldest prince of Chu felt comfortable in his heart.
King Liang noticed Chu Huaixian going out and immediately understood that Young Master Chu had something to say. Seeing that Young Master Chu just said, "Please give Your Highness a reward for my good pot, and then taste this tea." The same tea leaves are soaked in this pot, and the taste is different. King Liang laughed, saw that the tea was full of amber, took a sip, and boasted: "Okay." ”
"Your Highness, reward me with this tea again, this piece is the most delicate, and what I love to use is these mountain and wild objects." Young Master Chu pushed over a small white agate plate again, and King Liang put a slice in his mouth. After eating three or four kinds of tea, the young master didn't say anything more, and King Liang smiled and asked, "If there are any other cases from the old years, you can also tell me about them." ”
Young Master Chu raised his eyebrows, and King Liang was even more puzzled: "The old cases in my mansion are just a few cases of family crimes, don't say that the old cases that have been turned over are related to me." ”
"This, alas......" Young Master Chu frowned: "Your Highness, if you don't talk about this, I'm sorry Your Highness; If you do......
Alas," Young Master Chu said sadly, "I'm afraid of hurting His Highness's heart." ”
King Liang knew that Young Master Chu was a stable official and was already old, so he was not a person who made fun of him. His heart became heavy, and he forced a smile: "What the hell is it, you have to let me hear it." ”
"Your Royal Highness, alas, ......" Young Master Chu was more worried, and his two eyebrows lowered and showed an inverted eight characters: "The old lady ...... back then" Speaking of this, Young Master Chu swallowed his words back. King Liang was in a hurry and stood up "Teng". Without further questioning, King Liang took a few steps back and forth in the room, and suddenly shouted: "Boss, you have something to say!" ”
Young Master Chu saw that King Liang was in a hurry, when the concubine died, King Liang was suspicious and asked the emperor to order a thorough investigation. Causing King Liang's suspicions, Young Master Chu frowned and persuaded him in turn: "Your Highness, please sit down, if you want to talk about this, you have to have witnesses to come." ”
Coughing lightly outside the room, Chu Huaixian responded outside the room: "Yes." "Strode up the steps, led the horse out of the house, and galloped away.
In the next period of time, King Liang was sitting on pins and needles. He looked outside from time to time, but his mood stabilized.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, and King Liang looked outside gloomily, and saw that behind Chu Huaixian, a man in black clothes with a pointed head came. King Liang narrowed his eyes, this person didn't know him, this is the witness that Young Master Chu said? If you think about it carefully, you still don't know him.
Chu Huaixian took Gong Miao'er to stand outside the door, and without the need for the little maid to pass the word, he replied inside: "Father, Gong Zizhen brought it." King Liang shook his head again, this name is even more unfamiliar.
Ten years ago, His Royal Highness King Liang was less than twenty years old. He didn't quite understand the families competing for the palace to worship flowers and plants.
"Let him in." With Young Master Chu's call, Chu Huaixian nodded to Gong Miao'er and said softly, "Go in and tell the truth." Gong Miao'er's lips moved, and tears welled up in her eyes all of a sudden. The door in front of you can be stepped in one step. But with this step, perhaps, today we can avenge our grievances.
For ten years, Gong Miaoer fantasized about this moment all the time in his heart, and when it really came, he shrunk his feet and licked his lips again, then he pursed his lips tightly, with a resolute look on his face, and he took a big step and went in.
Chu Huaixian still didn't go in, he had already heard what Gong Miao'er would say once. At this time, he was outside, and he was distracted by the light of the sun shadow moving in the yard. As soon as Xiaoyi came, Xiao Chu was much better. She was originally a heart disease, and she could open it up. Doctor Zou said so, and Chu Huaixian also saw it.
Let Xiao Chu open the knot in his heart, and he has to revisit the matter that made the eldest prince of Chu grit his teeth; Chu Huaixian was a little reluctant to mention it, and suddenly turned his mind to Xiao Chu's body. Then give her some nourishing herbs, and raise her thin body first. The patient has a knot in his heart, he can't eat and drink, and he has no life-saving herbs, of course, he won't get better.
There was a "bang" sound coming from the room. Chu Huaixian woke up from his trance, and did not look into the room.
In the room, King Liang punched the black inlaid luodian beside him, and he did not intimidate Gong Miao'er. Gong Miao'er came with the determination to die and redress her grievances, but instead said word by word to King Liang, who was angry and crooked: "...... The leader of that year was originally my family, and after my family was replaced, the concubine and the two princes ...... one after another within a year."
"Shut up!" King Liang's eyes were like a yin vulture: "How do you know that there are things in this flower and plant, and how do you know that the death of the concubine and the two princes is related to them?" Gong Miao'er, who was worried before coming in, said loudly: "Your Highness, did you ever look for such a place back then?" Your Highness, did you ever doubt them? His Royal Highness ......"
Gong Miao'er roared like an angry lion, Chu Shaofu was as immobile as Mount Tai, and King Liang grabbed a tea bowl and smashed it at Gong Miao'er who was loud. The tea bowl flew past Gong Miaoer's ear, and Gong Miaoer shut up. King Liang, whose eyes were already a little bloodshot, only felt that his eyes were dark, and he staggered and fell to the seat.
"Your Highness," a shout came from the room, and Chu Huaixian hurriedly came in. Seeing that King Liang grabbed the armrest of the seat, he panted and said, "I swear not to stand with him!" ”
His Royal Highness King Liang, who was checking in the palace back then, was suspicious and suspicious, and at this time he had already believed most of it. Young Master Chu poured a bowl of water with his own hands, and Chu Huaixian took it and fed it to King Liang to drink a few sips. King Liang's eyes were dark, and what he saw in this darkness was all the concubine in the palace back then.
At that time, Empress Zhang was not the queen, the queen mother was mourned, the concubine was in the sixth palace, the emperor favored Queen Zhang, and the concubine was not optimistic. If the concubine is still there, the position of the middle palace may not be Empress Zhang's; The two princes were clever and smart back then, and if they had survived until now, Empress Zhang's crown prince would not be the most favored one now.
In this darkness, Young Master Chu's words appeared like a bright light, and he whispered to King Liang: "Your Highness, no matter what happened before, the queen is virtuous, and everyone in the six palaces knows it. "Empress Zhang is indeed a truly virtuous person.
"I fought with her, I don't care who she is!" King Liang screwed the armrest of the chair, and the sentence was drilled in his mind: "Your Highness, did you ever suspect ......" His Royal Highness King Liang did not suspect it back then, but did not find evidence.
There was a loud cry on the ground, Gong Miao'er saw that the words had worked, and was afraid that King Liang would be angry, and Gong Miao'er, who also needed King Liang to show snow for himself, cried loudly: "Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, Your Highness, you are not a person like me, you can die at any time, you can not live at any time." ”
"Your life is mine." King Liang said gloomily, Gong Miaoer gritted her teeth and swore: "As long as you can redress your parents' grievances, what a life is a pity." King Liang stared at him for a long time, and then asked, "How many people are there who knew back then?" It was Young Master Chu who replied: "Your Highness, ask Lord Xi, you should be able to get something." ”
"I remember." King Liang didn't take the silk handkerchief, wiped away the tears with his sleeve, and he became solemn. glanced at Young Master Chu's father and son coldly, and said coldly: "If this matter is revealed, Master Young Master, I will no longer recognize people in my eyes!" ”
Young Master Chu seemed to be more cautious than King Liang: "This is also what I want to say to His Highness." Don't be reckless. Your Highness, you must remember that the Middle Palace is a virtuous person. ”
"I remember!" King Liang said heartbreakingly, and his eyes slashed at the faces of everyone in the room. If there is someone in this room who he holds a grudge, His Royal Highness King Liang can kill people!
His expression eased slightly, King Liang became solemn, he got up quietly, and kicked Gong Miao'er lightly: "You come with me." ”
Young Master Chu and his son sent King Liang out and watched him leave with Gong Miao'er, a living witness. The Father took the Son's arm, and the Son helped the Father to walk in slowly.
