Remember [ .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
"I'm not going to collect your body." He said lightly: "You die." ”
"Nope." Pei Xie Tang shook his head: "I won't give up." Unless I die once. ”
"Then you'll die." He raised his eyes, and his gaze was colder than the cold moon in winter.
Pei Xie Tang took a step back, and after a while, she closed her eyes: "I know." ”
After that, she turned and walked away.
In reality, she returned to the northwest that night, not long after, I heard that she was like crazy on the battlefield, and led the cold copper army to pursue the Northern Wei people in the desert for three days and three nights, chasing the Northern Wei people with nowhere to escape, and in the end, she only brought dozens of personal soldiers, lost contact with the team, and was trapped on Tianyin Mountain.
That time, she wanted to die.
But she didn't die.
Pei Yongjun discovered that she was wrong, adjusted the strategic layout, surrounded Wei to save Zhao, and rescued her from Tianyin Mountain.
But in the dream, Zhu Xinzhi dreamed that she died, died on Tianyin Mountain, there were not many things later, there were not so many disputes. She closed her eyes quietly, and as she wished, the horse leather shroud returned.
He didn't serve her poisoned wine;
He did not give her a funeral with his own hands;
He didn't hear her ask him with crooked eyebrows: "Lord, are you here to send me?"
She didn't say to him: Huangquan Road, Nai He Bridge, Lord Wang, don't let me wait for a long time......
When Zhu Xinzhi woke up from his dream, the sky was already bright, his forehead was sweaty, and his whole body was soft. He sat on the edge of the bed, and for a long time he couldn't figure out how he could dream of this man. Probably because last night's incident involved Gao Xingzhi, and Gao Xingzhi's relationship with her was too close, he had to doubt it, right?
"Long heaven." He called.
Changtian responded and entered: "Lord Wang." ”
"What time is it?" He asked, pinching his forehead.
Chang Tian said: "It's almost noon." ”
"Is Luoxia back?" He asked again.
Changtian nodded: "It's been an hour since I entered the mansion." also brought Ran Chenglin's body. ”
"Send it to the Criminal Department." Zhu Xinzhi got up and dressed, and ordered in a cold voice: "I want to enter the palace, you go and prepare." ”
"Yes." Changtian looked at him: "Lord Wang, your face is not very good, do you want the doctor in the Xuan Mansion to come and take a look before entering the palace?" If it is a loss of honor in front of the palace, His Majesty must be worried. ”
"Not necessarily." Zhu Xinzhi coughed a few times and refused.
Changtian glanced at him again, and after a while, he turned around and went out.
As soon as he went out, he instructed one of the guards beside him: "You go to the Xie family to deliver a message to the third lady, and you will say that the prince is sick and refuses to look for Lang Zhong, so please come over." ”
Zhu Xinzhi packed up and entered the palace with Changtian. was coughing all the way, and Changtian was frightened by his cough, and tried to dissuade him several times, but he had to suppress it and not mention it.
After entering the palace, Emperor Xuanqing quickly summoned him, and when he saw his face, Emperor Xuanqing's first sentence was also to ask: "Xinzhi, are you sick?" ”
"Thank you father, for handling business last night and blowing some wind." Zhu Xinzhi's cheeks flushed, and he replied in a low voice: "It's not a big deal, just go back and take some medicine." ”
"The prince still has to pay more attention to his body, you are the pillar of the country, and now you are presiding over many things, you are sick, and the courtiers are going to start to get dizzy and have no backbone." Qiao Yuexi, the Chinese scholar, watched from the side, couldn't help laughing, and glanced at Emperor Xuanqing inadvertently as he spoke.
Emperor Xuanqing frowned, and was about to speak, but saw Zhu Xinzhi's gaze looking at Qiao Yuexi lukewarmly.
He arched his hand, coughed, and said, "Master Qiao is also there." ”
Qiao Yuexi's smile was a little unbearable.
He was there when Zhu Xinzhi came in, but Zhu Xinzhi obviously didn't see him, which made him a little dissatisfied.
"Xinzhi, if you are sick and don't recuperate in the house, what is the important thing that you have to enter the palace?" Emperor Xuanqing's brows did not loosen at all: "You didn't come to the early dynasty today, it turned out that you were sick." ”
"Father, the son has been ordered to thoroughly investigate the corruption case of Ran Chenglin, and the evidence has been submitted to the father, how the relevant personnel are sent and how to deal with it in the future, all follow the opinions of the father." Zhu Xinzhi cleared his throat and began to speak.
"Isn't this case already decided?" As soon as he heard that he was still talking about this case, Emperor Xuanqing was a little unhappy.
Zhu Xinzhi arched his hand: "The case has been decided, and the sons and daughters have also transferred the relevant evidence and witnesses to the Criminal Department in accordance with the instructions of his father." However, the main culprit Ran Chenglin was supposed to enter Beijing yesterday and be held in the prison pending trial, but ......" He raised his head and glanced at Emperor Xuanqing: "Last night, someone broke into the Lingyi Station at night and killed Ran Chenglin. ”
"Killed?" Emperor Xuanqing was so shocked that the teacup in his hand was crooked.
Zhu Xinzhi nodded: "Yes, first kidnapped the prisoner to the woods outside Shangling, and then stabbed it into the heart, but Ran Chenglin was not saved." ”
"Presumptuous!" Emperor Xuanqing slapped the table heavily, and his face changed: "Find out who did it?" ”
"Not yet. Also, the soldier who guarded it yesterday said that someone had spying on Ran Chenglin yesterday afternoon. Zhu Xinzhi: "Not surprisingly, those people are looking for something." ”
Emperor Xuanqing's gaze shrank suddenly, and he was speechless.
It's just that his hand clenched the dragon chair under him little by little.
Qiao Yuexi's expression changed slightly when Zhu Xinzhi opened his mouth to say the first word, and when Zhu Xinzhi finished speaking, he also stood up and arched his hand: "The prince didn't understand what the officials said, why, the secret agent in this area and the kidnapper are not the same people?" ”
"It's not." Zhu Xinzhi has always been principled, yes, no, no.
Qiao Yuexi smiled: "According to what the prince sees, who are these people?" ”
"I don't know." Zhu Xinzhi clasped his hands together and looked at him very indifferently: "Master Qiao doesn't understand what he said. Should I know who this is? ”
"What, isn't the prince presiding over the trial of Ran Chenglin's case?" Qiao Yuexi said again.
Zhu Xinzhi narrowed his eyes, and he gradually understood that Qiao Yuexi was coming for him. However, how could he ever have a grudge against this Chinese scholar and let him be so aggressive?
"I'm the one who presides over it." Zhu Xinzhi looked at him quietly: "Master Qiao might as well have something to say." ”
"It's nothing, it's just that the lower officials feel that the prince is particularly concerned about Ran Chenglin's case this time, I wonder if it's because the lord of Tai'an is involved?" After Qiao Yuexi finished speaking, he turned his head and saluted Emperor Xuanqing, and said: "I heard that the prince has an extraordinary relationship with the lord of Tai'an, she is dead, and the prince should want to exonerate her." ”
"Exoneration?" Zhu Xinzhi smiled coldly: "Which crime of the Tai'an County Lord is nonsense?" Seven major sins, five minor sins, each of which was personally tried and drafted by my father, I never thought she was wronged, so how can I get rid of it? ”
"Qiao Aiqing." Emperor Xuanqing didn't like to mention this matter, so he called out with an ugly face.
Qiao Yuexi said unhurriedly: "The prince didn't say it on his lips, didn't he really feel it in his heart?" Your Majesty, the minister thinks that since Ran Chenglin has been convicted, it doesn't make much sense whether Ran Chenglin is dead or alive. On the contrary, it is more useful that he is dead, and he can set off a big wave of this crime. In the end, whoever chases this case will be able to get the greatest benefit from the fact that Ran Chenglin is death. ”
"Nobuyuki, what do you think?" Emperor Xuanqing stared at Zhu Xinzhi.
Zhu Xin's heart tightened, and then he took a step forward and walked to Qiao Yuexi.
He was full of righteousness, even if he was questioned, his eyes were still open and desireless, which was embarrassing, and Qiao Yuexi couldn't help but take a step back.
Zhu Xinzhi said calmly: "Lord Qiao's words are very strange. I came to talk to Your Majesty today, and so far, I have not discussed Ran Chenglin's corruption case, why is Master Qiao so clear? ”
"I ......" Qiao Yuexi was shocked by his momentum and was stunned.
I heard Zhu Xinzhi calmly but sharply continue: "Could it be that in Ran Chenglin's 50,000 taels of silver, is there also a cup of Master Qiao?" ”
"You're a bloody squirt!" Qiao Yuexi's face turned white, and then he turned around and knelt down in front of Emperor Xuanqing: "Your Majesty Mingjian, who in the court doesn't know about this matter now, does anyone know, who is Ran Chenglin's comrade?" ”
"I'm just asking, what is Lord Joe panicking about?" Zhu Xinzhi coughed and straightened his waist: "Father, how to investigate the assassination of Ran Chenglin, please show my father!" ”
"Check!" Emperor Xuanqing's expression was grim: "I was originally worried about the instability of the government and wanted to appease this matter, but these people kicked their noses in the face, and they all thought I was dead?" ”
"Yes!" Zhu Xinzhi received the order, straightened up and glanced at Qiao Yuexi, then bowed and retreated.
Just after walking a few steps, Qiao Yuexi also came out and called him behind him: "Lord Wang, please stay!" ”
Zhu Xinzhi turned around, and Qiao Yuexi looked at him: "Lord Wang, are you really not selfish at all when you investigate this case?" ”
"Nope." Zhu Xinzhi frowned: "Lord Qiao is just competing against each other, is it true that he has no selfishness at all?" ”
"I have." Qiao Yuexi stepped forward: "I respect the prince, but I am only worried that the prince has been misled and has become a spearman in the hands of others." Lord Wang, the lord of Tai'an is dead, you can't destroy your reputation. ”
"What do you mean?" Zhu Xinzhi was stunned.
Qiao Yuexi made a gesture: "Recently, what the prince has done is different from before, since the beginning of the Ran Chenglin case, the prince is bound to investigate, and the people in the court can't help but be afraid, worried about the ...... between the prince and the county lord The lower officials are really worried that if the prince continues like this, others will inevitably think that the prince is a party of the Pei family and wants to overturn the case for the lord of Tai'an. ”
"You're thinking too much." Zhu Xinzhi smiled faintly: "The sword in my hand has always been a royal sword, not someone else's gun." I only ask about right and wrong, not where I come from. ”
"Really?" Qiao Yuexi didn't seem to believe it.
Zhu Xinzhi said in a deep voice: "Yes." ”
His face was a little pale, and his voice was not loud, but it was indescribably stable to his ears. Qiao Yuexi didn't want to say anything, arched his hand, and watched Changtian help Zhu Xinzhi leave.
Zhu Xinzhi closed his eyes, completely unaware of what he was thinking.
When he arrived at the Huai'an Palace, he got out of the carriage, and before he could read the words at the gate, he had a pair of soft hands to support him, and said urgently in his ear: "The prince is sick, you have to recuperate, for a long time, no matter who comes to visit, you are not allowed to let it in!" ”
