Chapter Seventy-Two: Enlightenment
Heavy rain and thunder, Bing Ji went to the Xuan Room despite wet shoes and socks, but met a person who transmitted military information on the road, originally wanted to send it to Liu Ai, but Liu Ai has been cloudy and sunny for a few days, and did not dare to disturb, happened to meet Bing Ji, and learned that he was also going to the Xuan Room, so he hurriedly sent the military information to Bing Ji's hands, and let Bing Ji pass it on to His Majesty, I don't know whether the military information from this pass is good or bad, but I dare not go to Your Majesty to find a disposal at this time.
Bing Ji looked at the person who left as soon as he slipped through the smoke, thinking that the rain was so heavy, he didn't stop him, he was just about to go to the Xuan Room, and the military situation in his hand was a good reason, and Bing Ji also knew that for Huo Guang, how much he valued the war at the border pass, so he ran to the Xuan Room in the heavy rain.
"General, why can't I avenge my wife, the people can still beat the drum to show their grievances, can my wife, the queen of the Han Dynasty, only watch the culprit get away with it under Jiuquan? If I don't find out who is behind this matter, I will never stop! Liu Ai's eyes were firm, and the hatred in his eyes was so obvious.
Huo Guang approached Liu Yi step by step, "Your Majesty wants to go to the prison to see what it looks like now, but you want to see how the people of Chang'an City are terrified, torturing innocent people in the world for the deceased, but what does Your Majesty want?" Huo Guang also looked at Liu Ai without blinking.
Liu Ying suddenly turned around weakly, "General, as an emperor, I can't avenge the people I depend on, so how can I explain to her?" Liu Ill is full of heartfelt words, and this guilt makes him ignore how the world will talk about it, and what kind of vision the ministers of the DPRK and China will look at him, and only blindly think about finding the murderer and letting him accompany Xu Pingjun to the funeral.
"Your Majesty, the urgent thing at the moment is to repair the cemetery of Queen Gongwai, and give Queen Gongai a place to live there, so that she can be sacrificed with incense", Huo Guang's attitude also softened, "Your Majesty is so aggressive, the people in the court are unstable, and there are a few credible words of the people in the prison, which is not for self-preservation, but involves others, and even innocent people, if someone insists that the person who plotted to kill the queen is an old minister, what does Your Majesty think?" Huo Guang took a little probe and inquired about Liu's tone.
Liu Yi was suddenly startled, and the light in his eyes ignited again, "Why did the general say this?" I won't believe it. Liu Yi really realized at this moment how many people he had hurt by this move, and even Huo Guang, who held great power, was afraid of being implicated, wouldn't there be more people over there who would think so.
Seeing the light that had been rekindled in Liu Yi's eyes, Huo Guang was a little relieved, but also a little worried, "Your Majesty is a person who has been affected by the scourge of witchcraft, and the minister has also seen it with his own eyes, how many people were ruined by the curse of witchcraft at that time, even the children of Emperor Xiaowu and Empress Wei and the son of General Wei did not escape, and the ministers of the court and other innocent people are countless, and now it evolves again, I am afraid that it will not be far from the disaster of witchcraft......"
When the witch curse happened, although Liu Ill was still in infancy, his parents and relatives died because of this incident, and even all the things that followed were all caused by this speculation.
When he realized the seriousness of the problem, realized that everything was no longer like his own simple purpose, and when he went further and further, Liu Yi only said to Huo Guang, "Thank you for the general's reminder, it's my fault, the general can rest assured, this matter will no longer affect the innocent, and the people who were involved before, if they are really innocent, I will release them to compensate." ”
Huo Guang knew that he had hit the pain point of Liu Ai, and he also understood that Liu Ai would not pursue it anymore, and he was suddenly relieved, I hope this matter can be concealed for a lifetime, I hope that Liu Ai will not know about it in this life, "Your Majesty Shengming, can Your Majesty first release the medical girl who sent medicine to the queen in prison, the minister has already checked, she is an innocent person, if the master is seriously ill and dies, the medical girl needs to be punished, who else dares to serve the left and right, and please Your Majesty be merciful." After Liu Yi relented, Huo Guang's first thought was to get Chun Yuyan out of prison, after all, under severe punishment, there are a few people who can bear it, and it is most appropriate to bail people out before they are exposed.
Although Liu Yi was unwilling, he nodded reluctantly when he saw Huo Guang's face, but he didn't want Xu Pingjun's murder to be delayed, "The queen can't go so unclear, who does the general think this matter should be handed over to investigate, so as not to wronged the innocent person, and can give the queen an explanation?" ”
Huo Guangzheng was thinking about it, only to see a figure break into the Xuan room despite the eunuch's obstruction, and shouted, "Your Majesty, the Northern Urgent Army reports!" "This person is Bing Ji, he is not young, the emperor trusts him, and the eunuch does not dare to strictly obstruct him, seeing him rushing all the way in, he has to follow behind him, and dissuade him with words, but he is anxious, for fear that Huo Guang will do something irreparable, for fear that something will happen to Liu Ai, how can he listen to these words behind him, hold high the military newspaper, and break into the Xuan room for the first time regardless of it.
Liu Ai and Huo Guang were stunned when they faced Bing Ji who suddenly broke in, and when Huo Guang noticed the words "Northern Military News" in Bing Ji's words, his heart was haunted by the envelope held high by Bing Ji, and he took the military report in Bing Ji's hand, "Your Majesty, the minister will deal with the northern military situation first, and the old minister will retire." With the permission of Liu Aiji, Huo Guang quickly turned around and left the Xuan Room, ignoring the pouring rain and the thunder in the sky, and walked into the heavy rain of the night.
Liu Yi had already looked at Huo Guang who was holding the military newspaper tightly, and felt a little more emotion in his heart, and then looked at Bing Ji in front of him, Huo Guang's generation has gone from being young to the time when his temples are white, and in their lives, in addition to Rong Ma and the turmoil of the court where the emperor quickly changed, after this experience, it seems that both of them have added a little vicissitudes.
"Doctor Bing is here, and the queen's case is still bothering the doctor." Bing Ji is the right person, how can Liu Yi let it go, now he doesn't feel much about the other party's military report in his heart, but what he says now is the most important thing in his heart.
Bing Ji looked at Huo Guang, who had left, and Liu Ai, who was safe and sound and had figured it out, couldn't help but cry, his crying frightened Liu Aiji, and thought about Huo Guang's words, only that he was too confused these days, and the old minister's heart was hurt, and he hurriedly said, "Why is the doctor like this, the doctor can rest assured, I will not let innocent people be wronged again, let alone implicate more in this matter." Liu is ill and he will be at a loss for today's words in the future.
Bing Ji nodded and left, it was night, Liu Yi had issued an order to release Chun Yuyan, and those who were imprisoned for the queen's affairs were found out by Bing Ji and found out that they were indeed innocent, and they were returned home and compensated with settling-in expenses, and ordered the court to not be tortured.
On the second day, the mountain shouted long live, but Xiahou Sheng, who was in prison, laughed rarely, and when Huang Ba asked each other puzzled, he only said, "Your Majesty Shengming, the day you and I will be released from prison is not far away!" Huang Ba was confused when he heard it, but even so, Huang Ba was also convinced of Xiahou Sheng's words, in Huang Ba's eyes, Xiahou Sheng was a master and a wise man, and what he said would not be wrong.
In February of the first three years, the case of the queen's murder was finally closed after dealing with a few scapegoats, because Bing Ji knew who the person behind the scenes was, and he would not delve into it, but only wanted to end it quickly and give an explanation to His Majesty, so that he could be relieved and let the Han restore peace.
The dust settled on the case of the queen's murder, but Bing Ji fell ill after a big fuss, for the old friends who have been side by side for many years, Huo Guang went to visit from now, Bing Ji just took advantage of Huo Guang's visit to have a good conversation with Huo Guang, "Zimeng, disaster Xiao Wall, you should take precautions." Bing Ji supported his sick body, full of heartfelt words.
Huo Guang thought about it for a while, and then knew the meaning of his words, "When you broke into the palace that day, you already knew about it, don't worry, I, Huo Guang, will never let people do this kind of idea again, this time, thank you." Huo Guang looked at Bing Ji deeply, Bing Ji was aware, but he hid it for himself, no matter what the reason, because of Bing Ji's favoritism this time, the Huo family was saved from a catastrophe, and Huo Guang was grateful from the bottom of his heart.
The queen's case Bing Ji fell ill, Huo Guang was also exhausted, he didn't like to sit in a soft sedan chair, but at this time he was sitting in a soft sedan with his eyes closed, he was old, but his heart was not old, the Japanese army reported that all the armies had gained, only Tian Guangming's army did not move a bit, but retreated, Huo Guang rubbed his eyebrows, and said to Zhang Anshi, "If Tian Guangming is still like this, he can't stay, you can send a credible person to tell Chang Yi that this trip is mostly for the Huns to make enemies, don't be in a hurry." ”
When Huo Guang's words reached the border, the situation had changed, which was still controlled by him who was far away in Chang'an, Chang Wei had already held the emperor's Fujie and the Wusun army to capture countless Hun cattle and sheep, and the other four-way army also killed a lot of enemies, when the military report was transmitted to Chang'an City again, it was inevitable that there would be a quarrel, but Huo Guang this time he said that he was sick and did not participate in it, and finally Liu Yi had a holy decree, and ordered Chang Yi to return to Chang'an as soon as possible to resume his life, and Wusun's affairs had their own arrangements.
When Chang Yi received the holy decree, Han Zeng had also understood the earth-shaking changes in Chang'an City since he left, and Xu Pingjun's death was also clear, and his heart was even more uneasy. It's just that Chang Yi punished Qiuzi with Wusun before leaving, and after killing the Guizi nobleman Guyi, he returned to the court with the captured cattle and sheep.
In the summer of the first three years, the army returned to the dynasty with a great victory, Zhao Chongguo and Han Zeng deviated from the direction, but also chased out thousands of miles, killed a lot of enemies, and the merits were offset by no reward or punishment, although Chang Wei did not return to the court in time according to the order, but he held the emperor's charm, expediency, not impossible, plus he gained a lot, he was named the marquis, Fan Mingyou was not punished, Tian Guangming and Tian Shun, one because the enemy was in front, but he did not move forward, and the other was imprisoned for lying about the number of enemies killed, and finally, the two committed suicide in prison.
At this time, Liu Yi seemed to have already come out of the grief of losing Xu Pingjun on the surface, but when summer went to winter, who knew the loneliness in his heart, especially when he saw the plum that was still blooming in the cold winter, today's heavy snow, but even the white-headed person in the twilight snow was gone, and he felt that he was the only one left in the vast earth, but he didn't know that there was a pair of smart eyes staring quietly in the distance behind him......
