In the fifth year of Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, in winter, at the turn of the afternoon of the third day of October, Emperor Hui went to Changxin Palace, and was just about to push the door into the palace, when the two eunuchs in front of the door stretched out their arms to block, "The emperor stays." ”

Emperor Hui was puzzled, usually coming to Changxin Palace was not what the eunuchs in front of him dared to do, at this time the eunuchs dared to stop themselves, Emperor Hui was displeased, glared at the two eunuchs, and thought about the closed palace door, guessing in his chest that there was a secret of his mother in the closed palace door. Emperor Hui approached the palace door, standing in the center, staring at the palace door with burning eyes, like a tiger and wolf peeping at the distant prey, Emperor Hui's burning eyes seemed to penetrate the wooden palace door, peeping through everything in the palace.

"Who's in there?" Emperor Hui asked the eunuch with a cold face, and there was no lack of anger in his cold tone.

The two eunuchs bowed their heads and did not dare to answer.

"How long has he been here?" Hui Di thought to himself, and seemed to know who was inside.

The two eunuchs looked at Emperor Hui in shock, and suddenly knelt down, still not daring to answer.

"There is only one lord in Chang'an, and there is only one lord in the world, say!" Emperor Hui suppressed his anger, and his eyes only looked at the closed and tight temple door. The two eunuchs, you look at me, I look at you, they all kowtow and tremble, but they still don't dare to tell the truth. Emperor Hui was furious, snatched the saber from the waist of the guard next to him, and slashed it across the face of a eunuch. The eunuch covered his scratched face and hurriedly poured beans into a bamboo tube to explain, "Yesterday, the Queen Mother's shoulder was uncomfortable, and the Marquis of Biyang entered the palace in the afternoon of the same day. With that, the blood on the eunuch's face stained his hands red. Emperor Hui patted him on the shoulder and told him to go to Imperial Doctor Qin for treatment in a while, and the eunuch quickly nodded in agreement. Emperor Hui beckoned another eunuch, whispered something in his ear, and instructed all the guards around him not to inform Empress Lu that he had come to Changxin Palace. After speaking, Emperor Hui looked at the closed door of the palace with a gloomy face and walked down the steps.

Back in Weiyang Palace, Emperor Hui didn't eat or drink or see any concubines, closed himself in a dark room, sat on the table without saying a word, and his originally clear and heroic eyes were filled with resentment. At the end of the year, a eunuch came in and said something to Emperor Hui, and Emperor Hui arranged for the eunuch to call eight guards to accompany him to Changxin Palace. Emperor Hui led people to Changxin Palace, and the eight guards immediately secretly controlled the eight eunuchs and palace maids left behind by Empress Lu in Changxin Palace, in order to prevent them from making noise and ventilating the news. Emperor Hui led people to rush directly to the inner hall, to the door of the inner hall, Emperor Hui arranged guards at the door to guard, no one was allowed to enter or go out, and Emperor Hui entered the hall alone. The inner hall was pitch black, Emperor Hui took advantage of the dark light of the moonlight breaking through the hollow carved window, and when he came to the bed covered by Empress Lu, he vaguely saw a pair of men's boots next to the couch. ”

"Who?" The sleeping Empress Lu suddenly sat up and tightened the curtain with both hands. The man in the bed was startled, and Lu Hou pressed him down again with his free hand, covered his mouth, and shook his head at him.

"It's too dark in the hall, please light the oil lamp first." Emperor Hui took out the fire in his chest and wanted to point it.

"Don't-" Empress Lu heard Emperor Hui light the lamp, and immediately stopped it loudly, and said with a disgraced face, "The mourning family finally fell asleep, and they don't like to light the lamp." Something will come tomorrow, you go back, the mourning family is going to sleep. ”

"In this case, don't bother, I'll come to find the queen mother tomorrow morning." After that, Emperor Hui glanced at the pair of men's boots under him, and withdrew from the hall with a wave of his hand to Empress Lu. After leaving the palace, Emperor Hui whispered to the guards to come out for a while, and a man would immediately catch the Xuanshu Hall of Weiyang Palace, and Emperor Hui would wait in the Xuanshu Palace. The guards didn't know what they meant, but they just nodded loudly.

Seeing that Emperor Hui had indeed left the palace, Empress Lu hurriedly asked the man to dress and leave the palace, fearing that Emperor Hui would find out about his indecent behavior when Emperor Hui came to worship in the morning of tomorrow. The man hurriedly dressed and said goodbye to Empress Lu and hurriedly left the hall, and as soon as he left the hall, he was covered by the guards and tied up to the Xuanshu Palace. The tied man carefully observed the dark Xuanshu Palace, and found that there was no one, and when he closed his eyes and exhaled for a long time, a beam of light suddenly appeared in the hall, shining on the man's face, which was the Marquis of Biyang. Judging by his fear, Emperor Hui couldn't spare him, so he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "This matter is not about the minister, it is really the queen mother's ......"

"Smack-" Emperor Hui was already standing beside him, and unceremoniously swung a heavy punch at the judge, and the judge fell to the ground, bleeding from the corner of his mouth and not daring to say anything more. Emperor Hui gritted his teeth and ordered the guards to put him on death row, and he didn't dare to speak and beg for mercy.

He was put on death row for two days, and Empress Lu learned from the eunuch that he was tied up by Emperor Hui's people to the Xuanshu Palace, and Emperor Hui beat him and threw him into prison. Empress Lu was frightened and didn't want Emperor Hui to die, but he embarrassed Emperor Hui because of his indecent things with him, and Empress Lu felt ashamed and didn't dare to ask Emperor Hui to let him go. The ministers usually don't like to judge him as a person, and the recent trial of him is a hot person after Lu, often surpassing Cao Shen to deal with some things, and win more favor from Lu Hou with flattery, so he is a little unscrupulous, and the ministers are resentful of judging him, and they all have the intention to use Emperor Hui's anger to execute him. Empress Lu also knew that the ministers resented him, so it was not good to pin his hopes on the ministers.

He was imprisoned for three days, and his wife and son all ran for help, but to no avail. His son Shenping came to visit him in prison and brought him a lot of delicacies, but he was so worried that he couldn't eat it, and said to Xianping that Emperor Hui would never let him go this time, but he was afraid that Emperor Hui would know about the scandal between him and Empress Lu. Xianping silently bowed his head and said no more. The father and son sat facing each other, not speaking for a long time, and Xianping could hear his father's long sighs. He leaned on the case, covered his head with both hands, and suddenly raised his head and said solemnly, "Why don't you ask Pingyuan Jun for help?" Xianping saw that his father's eyes were bright, but he was worried, "Pingyuanjun has never liked his father as a person, can he save his father from prison this time?" Judging Shiqi grabbed Xianping's wrist and said confidently, "You only find him, and I'll talk to him." Xianping nodded suspiciously, not daring to delay too long in prison before leaving his father and going out.

The next day, Xianping brought valuable treasures to Pingyuanjun's mansion to visit him, Pingyuanjun welcomed Xianping, but resolutely refused to accept the valuable treasures brought by Xianping, and Xianping had no choice but to let the servants move back to the carriage. Pingyuan Jun invited Xianping to the mat, and asked the servant to serve warm tea, Xianping was worried that his father's matter could not be put on hold for a long time and had no intention of the tea ceremony, so he opened the door and waved his hand to Pingyuan Jundao, "My father is in prison, I just ask Mr. to save me, and Mr. can follow me to see my father in prison." I just want my father to return safely, no matter the cost, regardless of the trial. ”

Pingyuan Jun stopped the tea that had reached his mouth, thought for a while in his heart, and then continued to drink the tea, put down the tea bottle, and also waved his hand to Xianping, "The Marquis of Biyang is like the sea to the servant, but the servant is not obsessed with the government and does not run among the courtiers, and there are few people in Chang'an who are servant friends." It's just that the matter of Biyang Hou is urgent, and the servants can't see Ling Zun and look at Haihan. ”

Xianping was displeased, knowing that he couldn't show face at the moment, so he repeatedly persuaded Pingyuanjun to go to the prison to see his father, Pingyuanjun got up but didn't say anything to Xianping, and went to the inner room. Xianping complained in a low voice, "If it weren't for your father, your mother wouldn't know where to bury it, and the ungrateful person is not respectful." Juan Ping put a hammer on the case with one hand and walked away. In the afternoon, Xianping went to visit his father in prison again, and told the trial that Pingyuan Jun refused to help, but the original smiling judge heard this but was paralyzed to the ground, and sighed, "The trial is resting!" Xianping scolded Pingyuan Jun for being ungrateful, blaming his father for not helping this person in the first place. Judging the food he raised his head and sighed, regretting that he was not at the beginning, and since then he has a hatred for Pingyuan Jun.

However, on the eighth day, the door of the cell where the interrogator was being held was opened, and the jailer said that the interrogator could be released. He looked at the jailer in surprise and asked him what caused Emperor Hui to let him go, and the jailer said that he didn't know very well, and that his life was saved anyway, so he didn't care about it. He immediately patted the dust off his body, smoothed his hair with his hands, and was released from prison with the jailer. Xianping picked up his father in a carriage next to the prison and washed the dust for him. Judging by the food, he first asked who had saved him, and he was ashamed at this time, and said for a long time, "It's Zhu Jian, the king of the plains." Judging by his surprise, he shouted that he had wronged Pingyuan Jun, and as a result, he respected Pingyuan Jun even more.

Zhu Jian, the king of the plains, a native of Chu, was the king of Huainan, and when he wanted to rebel, he asked Zhu Jian what he thought of the matter, and Zhu Jian strongly objected. However, he did not listen to his advice, but did what Liang's father said, so he rebelled. After the Han Dynasty put down the rebellion and killed Tu Bu, I heard that Zhu Jian, the king of the plains, had advised Tu Bu not to rebel, and at the same time, he did not participate in the conspiracy of rebellion, so he did not kill Zhu Jian. Zhu Jian, the king of the plains, is eloquent, upright, and abides by the integrity and selflessness of integrity. The family moved to Chang'an. He never casually agrees with what he says and does, adheres to the principles of morality and refuses to bend to please others. At that time, the Marquis of Biyang wanted to make friends with Pingyuanjun, but Pingyuanjun refused to see him. When Pingyuanjun's mother died, Lu Jia and Pingyuanjun had always been very good, so they went to mourn. Ping Yuanjun's family is poor, and he doesn't even have money for his mother's funeral, so he was about to borrow money to buy funeral supplies, but Lu Jia asked Pingyuanjun to just mourn and not have to borrow money. Then, Lu Jia went to the house of the Marquis of Biyang and congratulated him: "Pingyuanjun's mother has passed away. The Marquis of Biyang said puzzledly: "Pingyuanjun's mother is dead, why are you congratulating me?" Lu Sheng said: "In the past, the Jun family always wanted to be friendly with Pingyuan Jun, but he was morally conscious and didn't want to deal with you, which was because of his mother. Now that his mother has died, if you give a generous gift to mourn his mother, he will be willing to serve you to the death. So the Marquis of Biyang sent a generous gift worth one hundred gold to Pingyuan Jun. At that time, many nobles also sent money and goods worth a total of 500 gold because of the heavy gifts given by the Marquis of Biyang. When the incident between the trial and the Empress Lu happened, although Zhu Jian, the king of the plains, was unwilling to make friends with the trial in his heart, he felt that he owed the trial a favor, so when the trial came to him, he said that the matter was not easy to handle, but he privately looked for an opportunity to get close to Emperor Hui's favored minister Hong Ru, and said to him, "You are so fortunate that the emperor is not heard of in the world." Now the Marquis of Biyang is fortunate to be the queen mother, but he was imprisoned, and everyone says that he is the emperor of slander. If the Marquis of Biyang is punished today, the Queen Mother is angry, and she can kill the king tomorrow. Why don't you ask the emperor for the Marquis of Biyang, if the emperor listens to your words and releases the Marquis of Biyang, the Queen Mother will be happy. The emperor and queen believe in you, and you are rich and noble. After saying this, Hong Ru was tempted, so he went to intercede with Emperor Hui, but Emperor Hui was unwilling to let go of the trial. can't stand Hong Ru's stalking, and Emperor Hui is used to Hong Ru by his side, and even sometimes the two of them sleep together, if Hong Ru is unhappy, he will be unhappy, and he doesn't want Hong Ru to be threatened by Empress Lu in the future, so he reluctantly let go of the trial after thinking twice.

The next day, he personally went to the Pingyuan Jun's mansion to thank him with a heavy gift, but no one answered three knocks. The interrogator asked the pedestrian to inquire about Pingyuanjun, and the pedestrian said that Pingyuanjun's family had moved to Changlingyi, Weibei. Judging the food and snorting, "The true gentleman too." "Respect Plains Jun even more.
