I buried Xu Guangguang in Xixi Realm, which is a place for this king to return the body of Shima Leather to his hometown.

From the south, return to the imperial capital. In the face of the complicated situation in the court, the first person that this king thought of and consulted with was Xu Guangguang.

The old man's voice was still on the side of the horse, but the heavy snow had drowned the grass and trees.

He once led me and asked, "What story did Your Highness want to tell just now?" ”

"In the twenty-second year of King Ying's reign, King Qin sent the general Wang Ben to attack the Wei State, and later the King of Wei surrendered and the Wei State was destroyed. Immediately afterwards, the king of Qin wanted to exchange a radius of 500 li for a 500-li radius of Anling, a vassal state of Wei, although it was an exchange, it was actually an occupation, and besides, this land was 'subject to the previous king', how could An Lingjun agree. ”

So he sent Tang Ju as an envoy to Qin. In the end, the king of Qin let An Ling go. ”

"But the light, four years later, the king of Qin swept Liuhe, and the princes came to the west, how could Anling, a piece of land within a radius of fifty miles, avoid the iron hooves of the Qin army."

"What does Your Highness want to say?"

"Guangguang, now Wei Tian is the king of Qin, and Qin Buxian may be Wang Ben. You are Tang Ju, I am An Lingjun, Cheng Yu is a piece of land in my heart, and Nanguo Mansion is the territory that this king will protect all his life. We don't have much time. ”

At that time, he was iron-clad, clenching his fists and promised: "The light will not fail in its mission." ”

But today, this man who promised the king to live up to his mission left with such a attitude. The king's heart was tormented, but he no longer knew to whom he would speak.

I buried the last piece of soil on his grave and said softly: "This king buried you here on his own initiative, I not only want you to return to your hometown in Nanguofu, but also want you to sleep here in a triumphant posture of a general, and finally obeyed the selfishness of this king. ”

Picked up a handful of snow and wiped his face, staggered up and walked back, and when he arrived on death row, it was already the next day.

Father-in-law Yang waited for me at the door of death row all night, and was shocked when he saw the blood stains on my chest and the dirt on my robe: "Your Highness is injured?" ”

I was so tired that I just waved my hand and walked in, I thought I had wept uncontrollably when I buried Xu Guangguang in Xixi Realm, but when I walked to the death row where he was still last night, I felt that my eyes were moist.

Yang Gonggong had already guessed seven or eight points from my expression, so he persuaded me: "For people on death row, sometimes life is shackled, and it is comfortable to return." ”

I walked a little faster, took a deep breath, and said, "Can what you said also apply to the two ministers we are going to meet?" ”

Yang Gonggong nodded hurriedly: "Naturally, it is applicable." ”

After tossing all night, I finally met Gao Shu and Li Jingtang, I thought that the two death rows where the two of them stayed should be similar to Xu Guangguang's, who would have expected that there would be such comfortable and comfortable two cells in the depths of this death row that did not see the light of day - the four corners of the cells were hung with candles that kept bright all night, the jade table was full of wine, vegetables and delicacies, and the resting bed was not piled up with grass and wood straw, but satin bedding and a warm stove with flower and bird patterns.

With this comfortable appearance, a drama came to sing a song, and a girl came to press her feet.

The king's heart was blocked, and four big words slowly rose in his mind - arrogance and lewdness.

He bowed his head and said to Yang Gonggong: "I asked you a question just now, and you can answer it again." ”

Gonggong Yang also felt embarrassed, and hurriedly leaned over to plead guilty: "The old slave answered wrong, please ask His Highness to confess." These two should have bought off the jailers, so ...... That's why you can make the cell look like this. ”

I waved my hand: "That's it." ”

But the heart is becoming more and more unhappy: Aside from the previous Lingtai Sun Zhiling and Luochang Lu Shuyuan, let's not talk about it for the time being, but just look at the current plague governor of Kang'an Mansion who does not report it, and the jailer on death row in Dijing also accepts bribes and silver taels, it can be speculated that there are many ants and insects in my Dajin Mole Mine, and I am afraid that I can wait for the death of the country.

When the two people in the cell heard the movement, they woke up in unison, and when they saw the queen, their faces were very calm, not at all like a person who was about to be executed, and they knelt down leisurely before me: "The guilty minister knocks to see His Highness." ”

Gonggong Yang had long seen that this king and Gao Li didn't like each other, so he hurriedly moved Wei Tian out: "It was the emperor who asked His Royal Highness King Chong'an to come and see the two adults." ”

Gao Shu Li Jingtang over there got rid of a pair of grasshoppers, and was poked by the word "emperor", and immediately jumped in spirit.

Gao Shu, who was already old, was twenty years younger, and he slammed the cell door and asked me: "Is it really the emperor who asked His Highness to come down?" ”

Li Jingtang in the next cell was about to squeeze out: "Dare to ask Your Highness, how did the emperor explain?" ”

He thought that the emperor had not forgotten them, and he thought that the emperor had sent the king to rescue them.

This king is so understanding, how can he not tell them the truth, so he smiled and said truthfully: "This king is ordered by the emperor to see off the two adults. ”

Gao Shu and Li Jingtang both trembled in despair.

The king smiled again: "The execution will be carried out at noon today, do the two adults have anything else to say for the king to bring to the emperor?" ”

Li Jingtang's hands trembled, and he looked at Gonggong Yang: "What His Royal Highness King Chong'an said...... But really? ”

Gonggong Yang's face was full of shame, he didn't dare to look at Li Jingtang's eyes, and choked up: "The emperor has two adults in his heart, and he often asks the old slave to order the seizure of the family property of the two adults, is it right...... Since the emperor was still the prince, the two adults are his right-hand men, confidants, when Emperor Wende went to the immortals, he entrusted His Royal Highness the prince to the two adults, and the two adults did not disgrace their mission, all the way through the thorns, and sent the emperor to the throne of the ninety-five supreme. The emperor told the old slave no less than ten times, and every time he talked about the two adults, he was moved to tears. ”

This king didn't think that Yang Gonggong's words were touching.

From ancient times to the present, there are countless virtuous ministers who are loyal, Shang has Yiyin, Shu Han has Zhuge Liang, Qin has Wang Meng, Eastern Jin has Xie An, Tang has Fang Xuanling, which one is not dedicated to his duties and dedication to repay the emperor's kindness.

Zhuge Liang even more heart-wrenching "Out of the Teacher's Table" has been passed down to future generations, in which the sentence "The first emperor knew that the ministers were cautious, so the ministers were sent to major events before the collapse." Since the order, I have been sighing all night, fearing that the entrustment will not work, in order to hurt the wisdom of the first emperor, so I crossed Lu in May, and went deep into the hair", this king really wants to read to the two of him, one of them is the prime minister of Dajin, and the other is in the household department.

No.

The two of them do not distinguish between black and white, do not distinguish between right and wrong, do not know the shame, and are greedy for ink, and the amount is shocking. Wei Tian had repeatedly ensured that the two of them would not die before, but he was really mediocre. Later, because of hatred in the body of the two of them, Wei Tian was inspired by hatred, so he suddenly woke up and ordered the house to be raided.

The execution of traitors and the removal of rats is a good thing to celebrate, but it is not easy for Yang Gonggong to talk about what the monarchs and ministers have experienced in the past in this death row, and he is really sick.

Take 10,000 steps back, who is easy in this world?

Is it easy for Xu Guangguang, the deputy general who has just died, Qin Buxian, who is in prison and driven to Ningguo by this king, is it easy for the people around him to rebel one after another, and finally I am left alone to support the pattern of this king?

This king thinks that the results of Gao Shu and Li Jingtang today are all self-inflicted, and it is too light to describe it as "guilty and innocent", so why bother to make this set of other scenes.

I wanted to turn around and leave this place, letting them sigh and be moved, but Gao Shu suddenly stopped the king: "Your Highness." ”

I looked back at him wearily, "Is there anything wrong with the tall man?" ”

"You just asked me if I had something to bring to the emperor."

I curled the corners of my lips: "What do you want to say to the emperor?" ”

Gao Shu held on to the door frame and knelt down tremblingly, "The old minister has nothing to say to the emperor, but from the words of Gonggong Yang, I understand the emperor's intentions." If Your Highness wants to know why the Emperor has sent you to visit me and the two of you, please take a moment and listen. ”

"You don't have to go around in circles with this king, if you have anything to say, hurry up."

"When the crown prince was in prison and moved to Dongyu Mansion, the situation was even more dangerous than His Highness thought. The prince repeatedly wanted to give up, but was dissuaded by the old ministers, and Jingtang and I took out our family wealth to support the prince, and finally went through many difficulties before returning to the imperial capital, and started a life-and-death struggle with the two princes before ascending to the supreme position. ”

"The king knows these things."

Li Jingtang also seemed to understand what was going on, and knelt down at me in another cell: "But what His Royal Highness King Chong'an doesn't know is that now the emperor is going to give up this supreme position to His Royal Highness!" ”

The king was amused by this sentence: "Where do you think that the emperor wants to give this son to this king?" ”

"The emperor did not send Zhao Mengqing, but sent His Royal Highness to visit the two of us."

"Why did you bring Zhao Mengqing in again?"

Gao Shu said: "The emperor once laughed at himself and said that he stepped on the corpse of the second prince to ascend to the throne, and he once asked the two of us what if one day, he also fell into the same fate as the second prince, and Dajin fell into turmoil again, what would the two of us do." At that time, the two of us were very sad, and hurriedly comforted the emperor, telling him that there will be blessings after the great tribulation, and he will live with the sky, and see that I am forever. ”

I looked at him and said, "No one can live with the sky and the country." "But this sentence makes me a little weak-hearted, especially when I still have Qin Buxian's immortal in my arms.

"Your Highness," Li Jingtang continued, "Your Majesty said the same thing. So he told the two of us that if one day the emperor goes to the immortals, the two of us should choose one of the two young people in Dajin, help each other, and assist religiously. The two people chosen by the emperor, one is Zhao Mengqing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the other is His Royal Highness King Chong'an. ”
