Chapter 166: Persuade the good and punish the evil
Chapter 166: Persuade the good and punish the evil
At this time, Tuoba Jun no longer snickered in a narrow way, his face was ruthless, and he said in his heart: "My poor lady was murdered by that vicious woman three or four times. If it weren't for the cleverness of my woman, I would have been killed by that vicious woman. Liu Rushuang, you are dead! ”
Tuoba Yu also stared at Liu Rushuang with cold eyes, he didn't expect Allure to be killed by that poisonous woman.
In the hearts of the old ancestor, Tuoba Tao and others, in addition to wanting to kill Liu Rushuang immediately, they also had deep pity for Gu Qingcheng.
Feng Zuo Zhaoyi had already burst into tears and secretly wiped away his tears on the side.
Princess Tuoba Ling of Shanggu listened to Gu Yuqing tell the inside story and testified about her biological mother's various crimes.
I was stunned and shocked!
Only then did I know that Gu Qingcheng was so pitiful.
I actually misbelieved people's words, almost harmed Gu Qingcheng, and almost caused a fire, so guilty, she was originally kneeling on the ground, and fell down softly.
I also saw Gu Yuqing's humble son, righteous and awe-inspiring, and he disregarded the affection of mother and son, and killed his relatives with righteousness.
I couldn't help but feel sorry for each other, I fell in love, I looked at him a few more times, and my face was full of girlish shyness.
Since she was a child, she has admired Qingjun's dusty Jun'er, and when she grew up, she realized that Jun'er was her nephew, and aunts and nephews were not allowed to marry.
Now, after Jun'er, there is finally someone who makes her appreciate and admire.
Gu Tingcheng saw his father pleading with him, and said in his heart, even if His Majesty wants to severely punish Gu Zhongnian and his wife now, he was not killed by Liu Rushuang after all.
Moreover, Liu Rushuang's daughters have already reaped the consequences, and His Majesty will not really kill Liu Rushuang, at most he will dismiss Gu Zhongnian's officials.
Since you can't put them to death all at once, why not let them linger and take revenge in a bright light.
Gu Qingcheng thought so, and knelt down to intercede for them:
"Your Majesty, Allure asks Your Majesty to forgive your father and wife for the time being.
Even if Mrs. was at fault, she was lucky to be unharmed, and Mrs.'s daughter also reaped the consequences.
Just when the ancestor is born, he will be blessed with the world, and the net will be open.
If the lady does not repent and the father covers up his crimes, it is not too late for His Majesty to punish him. ”
Gu Tingcheng still refuses to call Liu Rushuang his mother, only his wife.
whispered with the banquet crowd, and they all felt that Gu Qingcheng was not only bullied, but also so generous and decent, forgiving her parents' mistakes, she was really a rare virtuous woman.
They all cast appreciative glances at Gu Tingcheng.
Of course, Hu Lu Tu Xiu and Liu Ziye's vision is even brighter.
Only the daughters of the queen and Liu Rushuang, with the resentment in their eyes, can destroy all mankind.
"Gu Zhongnian!" Tuoba Tao shouted angrily.
"The sinners are here." Gu Zhongnian kowtowed tremblingly.
Tuoba Tao shouted at Gu Zhongnian:
"If it weren't for Allure to be knowledgeable and reasonable, and intercede for your husband and wife, I would never spare you!
Today, for the sake of the birthday of the ancestors and the intercession of the city, I will spare you from dying for the time being.
Gu Zhongnian did not fulfill his father's responsibilities and was fined for one year. For the sake of you having such a good daughter as Allure, keep your official position for the time being to see the aftermath!
Liu Rushuang repeatedly harmed her daughter Gu Qingcheng, although the death penalty was spared, the living crime was unforgivable. Come! ”
Tuoba Tao shouted, Li Yi was already murderous, waiting with the Imperial Forest Army to the side, eager to cut the vicious woman who poisoned the city.
"Drag Gu Liu's family down, and punish him with thirty rods to set an example!"
After the emperor finished speaking, Liu Rushuang was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground.
Her daughters were also stupefied.
Gu Yuqing knelt down again at this time, kowtowed, and said:
"Please be gracious, Your Majesty, the mother of the courtier is at fault, and the courtier only hopes that the mother will wake up from now on and no longer harm the city.
The son does not blame the mother, and now the son refers to the mother's fault, which is a great rebellion, and the mother's cane blame, let the courtiers bear it. ”
Tuoba Tao and everyone couldn't help but cast appreciative glances at Gu Yuqing again, and turned their heads to each other:
Although Gu Zhongnian indulged in his wife and was confused, he gave birth to this pair of good children.
Tuoba Ling's love for Gu Yuqing in his heart has added a little more.
Rouran's envoy Azig and hussar general Ashina glanced at each other, and they were so anxious that they stomped their feet:
How could their prince be beaten by the Great Wei Emperor!
"Gu Yuqing, it's rare that you killed your relatives with righteousness, and you are righteous and awe-inspiring, and now you can take it on behalf of your mother." Tuoba Tao nodded slightly in praise, and said: "But Gu Liu's heart is not right, and his heart is vicious, if he is not punished, he will not repent!" ”
Tuoba Tao waved his hand, and Li Yi led the Imperial Forest Army to drag Liu Rushuang down.
The thirty boards that Liu Rushuang suffered were heavier than ordinary people, almost beating her to death, her buttocks were full of blood, and even her pelvic bones were broken.
Several of her daughters ran over and knelt there, watching their mother being tortured, listening to Liu Rushuang's terrible wail, which gritted Gu Qingcheng and Gu Yuqing to pieces.
Gu Chuyao gritted her teeth and said, "We must remember that it was Gu Qingcheng's slut who harmed our mother so miserably!" ”
Gu Xinyao clenched her fists, and she hated it even more, and her eyes were gloomy: "Gu Qingcheng deserves to die, Gu Yuqing was confused by that slut and pointed out his mother, even more damned!" ”
"Two sisters, it's useless to scold, we have to think about how to kill that slut!" Gu Leyao's face was not impatient or impatient, only the soft eyes flashed with a ruthless cold glow.
Tuoba Tao said again: "Gu Yuqing, I see that you are upright, and it seems that you are also a person who practices martial arts. From now on, stay in the Imperial Forest, guard the palace, and serve me. ”
Gu Yuqing was still hesitating, Gu Zhongnian had already hurriedly pulled his son and kowtowed together to thank him:
"Your Majesty is not only lenient to Wechen, but also cultivates Wechen's dogs. Wechen is grateful, and Wechen thanked His Majesty for his great kindness. ”
Gu Yuqing saw her father say this, and Allure also nodded to herself with a smile.
So he said respectfully: "Courtier Gu Yuqing, I am willing to serve Your Majesty." ”
Rouran's envoy Azig said secretly: I am a dignified prince of Rouran, how can I give you Emperor Wei to take care of the house! In any case, it is necessary to let the prince leave Great Wei as soon as possible.
Princess Shanggu was even more overjoyed when she heard that Gu Yuqing had stayed in the palace as a guard of the Imperial Forest Army.
Li Shuang'er was disappointed, I thought that I could watch the fire from the other side, see the good show, and let that Gu Tingcheng die without a place to be buried, but I didn't expect Gu Tingcheng's life to be so good and escape this catastrophe.
The sly eyes exchanged glances with Anlingtina's charming eyes.
Helan Mingyue secretly gritted her teeth: "Gu Qingcheng, as the doll of the king of Nan'an, you dare to hook up with my cousin, Your Royal Highness, you wait, the county lord will not let you go!" ”
She almost gritted her teeth and exchanged glances with her father, King Changshan.
Of course, King Changshan had already seen Tuoba Jun's affection for that Gu Qingcheng.
After the county lord of Liyang and Li Shuang'er exchanged glances, the two walked towards Gu Qingcheng together and held Gu Qingcheng's hand.
An Lingtina said with tears: "Sister, I didn't expect my sister's life to be so bumpy. We are all people who have lost our mother's love, why don't we worship the Jinlan sisters? ”
"Yes," Li Shuang'er also said with a sad expression: "The three of us follow Liu Guan, Zhang Taoyuan, and the three of us will be good sisters of Jin Lan in the future." ”
People's hearts are sinister, not to mention their own sisters, even Princess Shangya, who has never met before, wants to harm herself.
Now Gu Tingcheng, any kindness is a warm current and a comfort for her.
"......" Gu Chengcheng groaned for a moment, and when he saw that they were sincere, he said happily: "This is very good, there will be two more sisters in Allure since then." ”
"Good sister!" The county lord of Liyang caressed Gu Chengcheng's face lovingly.
I secretly said in my heart: "It's really like condensed fat and picturesque eyebrows, how can I let such a beautiful face dominate." ”
So he said: "When we choose an auspicious day, our three sisters will officially worship, what do the two sisters think?" ”
Li Shuang'er and Gu Qingcheng both nodded and said yes.
"Come on, drag the palace maid Yun Jiang who instigated the master's mistakes down to death." Tuoba Tao glared angrily at Yun Jiang, who was kneeling beside Tuoba Ling.
"Your Majesty spares your life!" Yun Jiang was so frightened that his soul did not possess his body.
He bowed his head and pleaded with Tuoba Ling: "Princess, save the slave and maid." ”
"Father, one person does things and one person is responsible, it was Ling'er who pulled Yunjiang to sprinkle phosphorus powder together, this matter has nothing to do with Yunjiang, so Ling'er will bear it alone." Tuoba Ling said righteously.
"Shut up, your guilt, it's your turn in a while!" Tuoba Tao said angrily.
Tuoba Ling saw that his father was furious, and if he pleaded again, Yun Jiang would only die faster, and he was hesitating in embarrassment......
Gu Qingcheng looked at the responsible Tuoba Ling, and then at the trembling Yun Jiang, pursed his lips slightly, and walked out again.
"Your Majesty," Gu Qingcheng saw Tuoba Ling's embarrassed and anxious face, and pleaded for Yun Jiang again, "Please forgive Yun Jiang's capital crime." ”
Tuoba Ling sighed secretly, now Gu Tingcheng's intercession is always better than her own intercession, she looked at Gu Qingcheng with gratitude.
"Allure, they almost killed you, and you still plead for her?" Tuoba Tao said angrily.
"Your Majesty, Princess Fangcai also said that Yun Jiang is just an ordinary palace maid, and everything must obey the princess." Gu Qingcheng said, "But Yun Jiang has not fulfilled the responsibility of admonishing after all, Your Majesty can take it lightly to set an example." ”
Tuoba Tao saw Gu Qingcheng pleading for Yun Jiang, if Yun Jiang was heavily blamed, Tuoba Ling, as the initiator, would naturally have to be heavily responsible.
He groaned slightly, so he said: "Since Allure pleads for this cheap slave, drag it down, and the rod will be punished for twenty!" ”
Yun Jiang was dragged down by the Royal Forest Army with a dead face.
"Ling'er, are you guilty?" Tuoba Tao burst out again.
Frightened Tuoba Ling involuntarily a spirit.
Tuoba Tao's anger has not subsided, what Tuoba Ling has done, he not only feels that Gu Qingcheng is at a loss, but also feels sorry for his ancestors.
It made Dawei lose face in front of the world.
He was not angry but mighty, and glared at Tuoba Ling sternly.
Empress Helian and Helian looked worried.
"The son is guilty." Tuoba Ling, the princess of Shanggu, who was kneeling on the ground, confessed guiltily: "Erchen shouldn't have mistaken people's words, he almost harmed Gu Qingcheng, and almost caused a fire in the palace." The retainers were willing to accept the punishment. ”
After Tuoba Ling confessed his mistake to his father, he got up and came to Gu Tingcheng again, and suddenly his knees bent, and the whole person knelt in front of Gu Tingcheng.
He bowed seriously again, and said sincerely:
"Allure, it was my Tuoba Ling who misbelieved people's words, almost cost you your life, and almost caused a fire in the palace and disrupted the birthday banquet of the ancestors. Please forgive Tuoba Ling for his mistakes. ”
When Gu Qingcheng saw the princess of Tuoba Lingtang, he knelt down to bow to himself and admit his mistake, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to help her up.
"Princess Shanggu, where do you dare to be such a princess in Allure, princess, please get up quickly."
Although Gu Qingcheng went to help Tuoba Ling, Tuoba Ling refused to get up.
"No, father, ancestor, Ling'er made such a fuss at the ancestor's birthday banquet, it almost caused a catastrophe, and it almost caused a big disaster, and it almost caused the city to be wronged. Ling'er was very ashamed in her heart, if Allure didn't forgive Ling'er, Ling'er would not be able to kneel for a long time. ”
Tuoba Ling looked guilty, and he had the spirit of doing things alone.
When Queen Helian saw that her dignified princess was about to kneel down to a country girl to admit her mistake, she was so angry that her face turned blue and her fists clenched.
Lu Zuo Zhaoyi was shocked in her heart at this time:
Is Gu Qingcheng a monster, why is it so sharp! Whoever provokes her doesn't seem to have a good end!
"Knowing your mistakes can make a difference. Ling'er, since you know your mistakes, you will be punished with a three-month grounding, copying the Tao Te Ching a hundred times a day, and a one-year fine, and your money will be owned by Allure. Are you convinced? Tuoba Tao asked.
This princess daughter doesn't like to read the most on weekdays, and now she is asked to copy the Tao Te Ching a hundred times a day, which is really enough for her!
"Ling'er is happy and convinced." Tuoba Ling was still kneeling in front of Gu Qingcheng.
Although Tuoba Tao is angry with his baby daughter, he is reluctant to punish him, if others frame others indiscriminately, it will almost cause a palace fire, how can he survive.
Gu Qingcheng said in his heart: This is the game of thrones, whoever has the power is the winner, and he can dominate everything.
"Girl, since I have punished Ling'er, fortunately, all the disasters have been eliminated by you, girl, and she sincerely admits her mistake. Or - just forgive her and let her get up? Tuoba Tao actually said to Gu Qingcheng in a consultative tone.
Everyone was shocked that the emperor called Gu Qingcheng as a girl, and at the same time, they were even more shocked that he actually spoke to a four-grade courtier in a consultative tone.
He is an emperor who is decisive in his words!
Does the emperor need to ask for the consent of a little courtier to forgive his princess?
Gu Zhongnian felt that his face was shining again at this moment.
Gu Qingcheng knew that Tuoba Tao meant to call her girl, and they were privately called the girl and Uncle Dashan.
In other words, the emperor has made friends with himself.
The corners of her mouth smiled slightly, nodded slightly, and stretched out her hand to Tuoba Ling again: "Princess, you were also misled by others, Allure forgave you." ”
Seeing this, Tuoba Tao rebuked Tuoba Ling in a frustrated manner: "Ling'er, I will spare you this time, if there is a next time, I will never spare you." Have you ever thanked Allure again? ”
"Thank you." Tuoba Ling was apologetic, and sincerely bowed to Gu Qingcheng again before getting up.
At this time, Wei Juan helped Princess Shanggu pick up the discarded dress, handed it to Gu Qingcheng, and ordered someone to lift the red silk of Kong Ming's lantern.
Gu Qingcheng shook off Princess Shanggu's dress and wanted to put it on her.
Tuoba Ling was so frightened that he jumped and dodged, wearing only socks under his feet, and said with grievances:
"Allure, Ling'er has already apologized to you, and the father has also punished Ling'er, so you have forgiven Ling'er. Why are you still taking this phospho-stained dress for this princess to wear, you ...... Do you have to burn this princess to relieve your hatred? ”
Gu Qingcheng didn't answer Tuoba Ling's words directly, but looked at her lively feet, and said with a slight smile:
"Princess, isn't your foot sprained and you can't dance? It's not like a sprain at all. ”
She felt that although Tuoba Ling had wanted to harm herself, she was still righteous and awe-inspiring, and she was a cheerful and lovely girl.
She forgave her.
But she almost caused a catastrophe for herself, almost causing a fire in the palace, and ruining the good mood of her ancestor's birthday.
If there is a real palace fire, how many innocent people are?
Don't teach her a lesson, how can she get angry in her heart.
"Yes...... Before, the princess's foot was indeed sprained, and now it ...... All right. Tuobaling's eyes flickered, and his heart was weak in defense.
Tuoba Ling deliberately explained, and when a discerning person saw that she was moving so quickly now, he knew that her so-called sprained foot before was also pretended, but she actually wanted to make things difficult for Gu Qingcheng.
The old ancestor's face could wring out water: "Ling'er, Ling'er, I saw that you had some aura before the old ancestor, why are you becoming more and more unproductive?" ”
Gu Qingcheng saw that the old ancestor was angry with Tuoba Ling, and the anger in his heart was also clean, so he didn't want to worry about Tuoba Ling anymore.
"Princess, in fact, your dress is not contaminated with phosphorus powder at all, you will not be burned." Gu Qingcheng Zhan pioneered the dress of Baling.
"You just said that my dress was stained with phosphorus powder?" Tuoba Ling still dodged with palpitations.
At this time, Tuoba Tao said angrily: "You stupid boy, if Allure hadn't deceived you like this, would you not confess to yourself, admit that you sprinkled phosphorus powder, and blame Allure?" ”
Tuoba Jun already knew that the phosphorus powder on Tuoba Ling's embroidered shoes was sprinkled on Gu Tingcheng when he was shining her shoes.
And the so-called phosphorus powder behind Tuoba Ling's dress was Gu Qingcheng deliberately intimidating Tuoba Ling.
Anyway, she couldn't see the back, thinking that the embroidered shoes were already stained with phosphorus powder, so she didn't wonder if the back of the dress was also stained with phosphorus powder.
Therefore, they are afraid of burning themselves in the flames, and do not confess themselves.
Only then did the others suddenly realize that it was Gu Qingcheng who deceived Tuoba Ling, so that she did not admit herself, and also allowed herself to avoid a disaster.
I couldn't help but secretly marvel at Gu Qingcheng's wisdom and wisdom.
Liu Chuyu asked Liu Ziye with a quiet smile: "Brother Huang, that's the princess of Shanggu, how is it?" ”
"Princess Da Wei, stealing chickens is not a recipe for rice, but that's it!" Liu Ziye pursed his lips and said, then looked at Gu Chengcheng again, and smiled softly: "It's that peerless Allure, it's really rare in the world." ”
Liu Chuyu looked at the imperial brother and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
"Hey, what about the prince of the Northern Wei Dynasty, do you still like that polar wolf?" Liu Ziye asked again with a feather fan.
Liu Chuyu was silent, his cheeks were crimson, but his eyes were looking at Tuoba Jun.
Of course, Liu Ziye has a clear heart: the imperial sister still likes polar wolves.
Gu Tingcheng pointed to a wooden box and said, "Your Majesty, the outer paper of the Kong Ming lantern sprinkled with phosphorus powder by Princess Shanggu has been cleaned up here." ”
"Hmm." Tuoba Tao bowed slightly.
Gu Tingcheng pointed to those blessing words Kong Ming Lantern again:
"These Kong Ming lanterns that were sprinkled with phosphorus powder were later replaced with different fonts written by hundreds of centenarians, which means that Kong Ming lanterns were used to pray for the ancestors and celebrate the birthday of the Great Wei."
"Okay, let me personally light the Kong Ming lantern and pray for the ancestors and the Great Wei." Tuoba Tao walked out, took the fire fold in Gu Qingcheng's hand, and personally lit the Kong Ming lantern.
The ancestors clasped their palms together, and there were words in their mouths, from the wind and rain to the harvest of grains and then to the peace of the world.
The concubines and concubines saw the ancestors praying for blessings, and they also pretended to pray for blessings one by one.
Thousands of blessing word Kong Ming lanterns, carrying a lot of blessings, soaring, even in broad daylight, the scene is spectacular.
