Chapter 5: Face Saint
Everyone waited under the scorching sun, their hearts were stirred, but the people on the stage still stood straight with their swords.
I don't know how long it was, but the sound of horses' hooves was heard again on Main Street.
When the people came to stand still, the leading chamberlain shouted: "There is a decree in the saint, there is a difference in the matter of Xie Yun's greed for ink in the former household department, and now someone is taking Xie Yun, and Sister Xie Yan enters the palace to face the saint, there must be no mistake." ”
The man glanced at the assassin who had fallen to the ground, dismounted and stepped forward, and arched his hand: "Lord Xie, Miss Xie, the Holy Lord has already read the evidence submitted by Xie Qigongzi, and already knows Lord Xie's grievances, so now please follow me into the palace to face the Holy Saint." ”
Xie Yun said: "Thank you, the internal officer. ”
He also thanked Lord Zhang: "Thanks to Lord Zhang's help today, I will come to the door to thank you in the future." ”
"There, you and I are officials in the same dynasty, and you are dedicated to the country and the people, how can this official see you die unjustly, just raise your hands. Let's go face to face the saint and find out the truth. ”
The two thanked Master Zhang and left with the attendant.
"Can Lord Xie ride a horse?"
"If you are worried about your work, the lower officials can still hold on"
"Lead the Horse"
Xie Yun endured the pain and got on the horse. He said to his wife and children, "You go home first and wait for me, and I will definitely come back." The three of them nodded in response with teary eyes. The youngest boy wiped away his tears and said loudly, "I will protect my mother and sister." ”
"Good boy"
"Gui'er is so good, my aunt came back to buy you candy to eat"
The boy rolled his eyes, "I don't eat sugar"
Sister Yan introduced: "Second sister-in-law, Jiaojiao, I will let this big brother send you home, and you can prepare wine and food and wait for us to come back." ”
"Okay, let's go back and prepare."
"Brother Twilight, I'll leave it to you."
"Well, you can go in peace. ”
The crowd beat their horses and followed the chamberlain to the palace.
Although he encountered two waves of assassination along the way, he still walked to the palace gate without danger. The waiter who walked in front took the lead in dismounting, walked quickly to Xie Yun's horse, helped Xie Yun to dismount, and the moment he dismounted, Xie Yun suddenly grabbed the waiter's left hand, grabbed it tightly, gritted his teeth and said: "You guys are too underestimating my Xie family." ”
Only then did everyone see that the attendant was holding a sharp blade in his hand, and the cold light was shining.
When Xie Yun grabbed the waiter, Sister Yan had already set off to Xie Yun's side, only to see that the waiter was about to bite the poison sac and commit suicide, Sister Yan made a quick move, pinched his cheeks, and removed his chin.
The guards in front of the palace gate surrounded him and immediately sent people to report to the palace.
After some twists and turns, everyone finally met the sky.
Someone had already reported what had just happened to Emperor Qiyuan.
I saw a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties sitting behind the imperial case, with a serious complexion and a little fat body, looking at the music in his hand, silent, but not angry. In front of the hall, there was a handsome man in blue clothes, it was Xie Qi Xie Ling, I saw that he was light, and he didn't feel any nervousness in front of the hall.
After everyone saluted, the emperor spoke: "Xie Qing knows that he has been wronged, but why doesn't he defend himself?"
Xie Yun said bitterly: "The ministers who steal think that the clear ones are self-purifying, and the turbid ones are self-turbid, and the ministers have not done anything will be innocent." The minister grew up under His Majesty's eyes since he was a child, determined to be an official, to do things for the country and the people, and was also inspired by His Majesty. "People who are not afraid of life and death are in tears at this moment.
When Emperor Qiyuan was a prince when he was young, Xie Dao, the head of the Xie family, was a young master and taught the princes. At that time, Emperor Qiyuan was only the year of the crown, and Xie Yun was only a four or five-year-old child with drooping hair. Emperor Qiyuan was also an idealistic and studious young man back then, and he often came to ask for advice, and the two were inexplicably close. Emperor Qiyuan's ambition directly affected Xie Yun, and even Xie Yun has always admired the young man who is full of energy in his memory, and over the years, it has never changed.
In those days, people whose ambitions were higher than the sky could only sit on a high position and overlook all living beings.
