Chapter 436: Last Chance
In the prison, it was time to put food, Zhu Chengye scolded the jailer for giving him something that was not human, but in order not to starve to death, he still stuffed it into his mouth.
Only Zhu Chengqian, since he met the emperor, he did not eat or drink, although he did not starve to death for a day or two, and the jailers also had a way to forcibly pour water and stuff food, but it was not good if the matter was too big, if he really wanted to die, he would die if he touched his head.
"Son-in-law, Yanshi ......" The cell next to it, Zhu Chengye saw Min Yanshi, and he lay on the cell door excitedly, "Are you here to pick me up?" ”
Min Yanshi ignored it, but waited for the jailer to open the cell door and came in to visit Zhu Chengqian.
"Why do you suddenly go on a hunger strike, you always have to give the juniors a reason, and the juniors can solve it for you." Min Yanshi said, "Even if you play the emperor, the younger generation must have something to say." ”
Zhu Chengqian smiled sadly: "Rong'er is dead, what is the meaning of my life......
Min Yanshi asked, "Did the emperor tell you?" ”
Zhu Chengqian raised his haggard eyes and read again: "Rong'er is dead......
Min Yanshi said: "The younger generation hasn't gotten any news yet, but if the emperor tells you, it will definitely be wrong, and I ask you to mourn." ”
Zhu Chengqian's voice trembled: "Yan Shi, do you have any other news?" Is my Rong'er really dead? ”
Min Yanshi shook his head: "If there is news, the younger generation will ask the emperor to show you, and then come to you to tell you about the death of Zhu Rong, I am also very sorry." ”
Zhu Chengqian's dry lips squirmed slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, Min Yanshi turned around and told the jailers to take care of the prisoners, no matter how the father-in-law on the other side cried wolf and shouted at him, he turned a deaf ear.
After getting out of prison and turning to the palace, several important ministers had already arrived, and Jin Dongsheng was among them.
Although Mrs. Jin made a fuss at the wedding of Min Yanshi and Yunzhi, saying that he was suspected of killing Jin Haotian, but all along, Jin Dongsheng seems to be more suspicious of Zhu Rong, maybe the two usually act in very different styles and have very different temperaments, in Jin Dongsheng's opinion, Zhu Rong is more likely to kill.
The two passed by, Min Yanshi stopped and looked back, took a careful look at Jin Dongsheng's back, and unconsciously clenched his fists.
Those who march in the army do not defend their homes and the country, what is the use of coming?
"Min-sama, please." At this time, the inner attendant came to lead the way, and Min Yanshi restrained his emotions and entered the temple to face the saint.
The emperor fell down in a moment of urgency, although there is no major problem at the moment, but the imperial doctor told him not to be excited, in the end, he is also a person of some age.
"Zhu Chengqian went on a hunger strike to die, and the minister went to visit, and he said that Zhu Rong was dead, did the emperor tell him?" Min Yanshi asked knowingly, but it was just one more scene.
Emperor Jiasheng nodded wistfully, and the queen said on the side: "Let the jailer take care of it, there shouldn't be anything, the emperor has to recuperate for a few days, and you can't block the people in the first month, don't spread this matter, you ministers are good at taking care of court affairs, and you will come back to report if you have something important." ”
Min Yanshi said: "The most important thing at the moment is the border war situation, and the case of the Zhongguo Mansion, the minister thinks that it is not too late to postpone the retrial." ”
Emperor Jiasheng seemed to be lazy to speak, and it was the queen who said for him: "As you said, it's not too late to postpone the retrial, but don't let Zhu Chengqian die easily." ”
Min Yanshi was ordered to retreat, and when the queen saw him go away, she said to the emperor: "It seems that Min Yanshi is still credible, Zhu Chengqian blocked him from entering the palace examination back then, which damaged his reputation, and he has indeed had a long-standing grudge against the Zhu family." Right now, news often comes from the Min Mansion that Zhu Yunzhi quarrels with him every day, and that girl is also mixed up enough. Just now he went to see Zhu Chengqian in the prison, and the concubine sent someone to keep an eye on him, but he didn't say anything strange to Zhu Chengqian, it didn't seem to be a joke. ”
Emperor Jiasheng said weakly: "This is me, the last chance. ”
I saw the chamberlain come to spread the word, saying that Lord Min was called away by the concubine, the emperor frowned, and instructed the queen: "Don't let her do anything bad." ”
On this side, Min Yanshi had to come to see his aunt, and the concubine asked him if the emperor was really sick.
"Why don't you take a look for yourself?" Min Yanshi asked.
"If I can go, I need to ask you? The slut of the Yang family, relying on himself to be the queen, controls everything. The concubine said hatefully, "I really don't understand, the emperor hates the prince so much, how can he still obey the Yang family." ”
Min Yanshi was silent, but he knew in his heart that no matter how confused the emperor was, he would not be able to distinguish between good and bad.
The concubine said angrily: "The most hateful thing is that the woman doesn't know what to say to your cousin, my emperor was deceived by her, and his own son is not successful, and he actually wants to rob my son." ”
Min Yanshi didn't have the patience to listen to these complaints, and bowed down and said: "If my aunt has no other instructions, my nephew will retreat first, today's New Year's Day, many things in the family, as well as the greetings and exchanges between colleagues in the officialdom, cannot be delayed." ”
"It's been a year, it's all like this." The concubine said, "I'm not stupid, Prince Sheng won the battle, and the next step is to force the palace to seize power." ”
Min Yanshi said: "Auntie, be cautious and misfortune comes out of your mouth." ”
The concubine shook her head: "Yan Shi, you have to take care of yourself, I always feel very unsteady in my heart, don't you think it's strange that the emperor suddenly trusts you so much?" ”
My aunt's kindness, Min Yanshi understood it very well, but he couldn't say it, so he only said: "That's what my nephew fought for, all along, the emperor only paid tribute to Zhu Rong, I was unwilling, and now I can replace him, and my nephew can be regarded as getting what he wants." ”
The concubine frowned: "When the time comes, he will push everything on you, if Zhu Hanzhi wants to investigate, won't you die?" ”
Min Yanshi said: "The emperor is also fully prepared, aunt don't mess with herself." ”
The concubine sighed for a long time: "I really don't understand, which step was wrong, the mistake was the mistake, five years ago they escaped death." ”
Min Yanshi was silent.
The concubine suddenly remembered again: "I heard that Zhu Rong is dead, is he really dead?" ”
Min Yanshi said: "Thousands of miles apart, where do I know? ”
When leaving the palace, Min Yanshi and Kaijiang met, and they just nodded to each other and parted without saying anything.
But yesterday they met and discussed Zhu Rong's life and death.
The news on the Kaijiang side was better, but he did not receive the news of his death, and the emperor told Zhu Chengqian that he had been killed by the Zanxi people, which was even more implausible.
Naturally, they all have a trace of preparation in their hearts, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, if Zhu Rong really has a chance, his family, as well as Fuyi and unborn children, are all their responsibilities as brothers.
The two discussed and decided, following the emperor's words, since he said that Zhu Rong was dead, he was dead.
Kaijiang also specially told Min Yanshi not to try to comfort Zhu Chengqian, they have always been under the watchful eye of the emperor, and the emperor does not trust them, but they must take the initiative.
The sunset is sinking, and the first day of the eleventh year of Jiasheng is almost over, but the smoke of gunpowder on the border between Daqi and Zanxi has stopped in the ten years of Jiasheng.
On the first day of the new year, when the people were free to walk on their land, Prince Katsu drove the enemy army back twenty miles, and the army was stationed ten miles away, and the people of the shelter returned one after another, setting off firecrackers outside their ruined houses, hoping to ward off evil spirits and hope for a long peace in the future.
In the tent, I could vaguely hear the sound of firecrackers from the distant villages, thinking of the joy of the people, thinking of the peace of my family and country, and the corners of my mouth unconsciously brought a smile.
But when he turned around, Zhu Rong still slept peacefully, because he couldn't hear, but he could sleep very soundly, if he wasn't touched, I was afraid that nothing would wake up this tired and injured person.
But at this time, it was time to take the medicine and change the medicine, so she had to go to the bedside and gently wake up her husband.
Zhu Rong was awakened from his dream, subconsciously vigilant and alert, almost attacking Fuyi as an enemy, and when he was fully awake, a hand had already pinched Fuyi's neck.
Fu Yi was frightened, but she knew that if she showed a frightened appearance, Brother Rong would definitely feel guilty, this was the damage brought to him by the war, and his three souls and seven spirits had not yet fully returned to their places.
"What are you doing? Want to scare me? Fuyi smiled and said angrily, "See if I'm afraid of you?" It's really bold enough, do you believe that I am going to sue my big sister? ”
Zhu Rong couldn't hear it, which made him even more panicked, but Fuyi's smile was so sweet, after picking up his hand, he pouted and rubbed his cheeks vigorously, as if to say: "Wake up, wake up, are you awake?" ”
And Fu Zhi relieved him a little, so he pointed to the decoction and plaster at hand, Zhu Rong relaxed, nodded to show that he understood, and then at the mercy of Fu Yi, and then took the medicine and changed the medicine, and it took a long time to clean it up.
"Are you tired?" As soon as Zhu Rong opened her mouth, her voice became extremely loud, but she no longer reminded her that horizontal and vertical is not something that outsiders can't hear, even if it is the intimacy between husband and wife, she can't bear to let her husband be nervous and guilty about these things.
"I'm not tired." Fu Yi said very slowly, so that Zhu Rong could see his mouth clearly, "I just received the battle report, the Zanxi people asked for a truce, and the Yongluo people are also waiting for the will of their lord. Brother Rong, the battle is about to end, and we will be able to go home in the first month. ”
Although Fu Yi said very slowly, but as soon as he talked a lot, Zhu Rong couldn't tell the difference, so Fu Yi took a pen and paper and wrote it to him, Zhu Rong had a smile on his face, and said: "Zanxi people can't be confused, do you really have to destroy the country to be willing." ”
Fu Yi wrote again: "The military doctor said, you just can't hear it for the time being, and you will slowly get better in a few days, don't be anxious." ”
Zhu Rong bowed: "I understand, I'm not in a hurry, and when I return to you, I'm not in a hurry." ”
Fuyi gently stroked his cheek, leaned up and kissed him, and then didn't make a sound to his mouth, saying, "Brother Rong, we will never be separated again." ”
