61. Tell the truth
While she was meditating, the chamberlain suddenly came to report: "General Gu asks to see you." β
"What is he here for?" She was very upset.
"Your Majesty, the servants will send him away." The new chamberlain said cautiously.
In the past, Yun Niyi had always disagreed with the attendant to serve her diet and daily life, and only Caiyun was waiting for her every step of the way. Later, in order to avoid the suspicion of the courtiers, she persuaded Yun Niyi to have this inner servant.
"Slow, please come in." She expected Gu Ling to come at this time, maybe the things she assigned had an eyebrow.
She thought that the past that had been sealed for many years was just a simple game between countries, but she didn't expect to involve a magnet that shook the country. She even suspected that Ning Xi's death was related to this magnet.
According to the symptoms of Ning Xizao's pre-death recorded by the attending physician of Tai Hospital: vomiting blood in his mouth, and his internal organs were severely damaged.
"Chen Gu Ling, see the emperor." She frowned and pondered, Gu Ling had already arrived in front of her and knelt on the ground.
"Gu Aiqing, please get up." She hurriedly helped Gu Ling up.
"The minister has brought good news to the emperor." Gu Ling seemed to be eager to tell him everything he knew immediately.
"Aiqing has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." She was relieved.
"Your Majesty, I have never seen that kind of scene in the south and the north for so many years, it is a boulder that kills people invisibly. It stood there, and there was no weapon coming. The closer people got to it, the more dizzy and vomiting they all began. The minister had no choice but to return with the soldiers who had gone there in total. When Gu Ling said this, she couldn't help but sweat, even though the winter snow outside the window was still beginning to melt in the spring breeze.
"Gu Aiqing is really so serious, I really want to go and see for a long time." She didn't quite believe that there were weapons in this world that could attack people without launching, not in modern times, and not in ancient times.
"Your Majesty, the minister dared to say a word. The first emperor entrusted Gu Shichen by his side, and the ministers watched the emperor grow up, which was dangerous. "Gu Ling is also a humerus veteran.
"Gu Aiqing, since I am an adult, I should seek the well-being of the society." No matter how lazy she is in front of the old minister, she has to make a show.
Gu Ling was still hesitating: "Your Majesty..."
"I took Liang Rui with me this time, so I can take care of it." She wanted to do something here, firstly, to let Liang Rui make meritorious contributions to block the mouths of those courtiers, and secondly, she felt that she could not leave Liang Rui.
Gu Ling stood aside, and a look of embarrassment crawled to her face.
After Gu Ling left, the clouds in her heart were still there, and the few sentences in the record of Ning Xi's death were full of mysteries.
"Order, the people in the palace of Shisu are not allowed to walk in the palace from now until the fifth day of tomorrow without my permission." She leaned back in the dragon chair with a sad face and whispered to the attendant beside her.
The waiter respectfully retreated: "The slave and maid will order to go down." β
Sitting in the carriage to the Prime Minister's Mansion, she felt sad for some reason. It wasn't until a "mile" outside the car interrupted her thoughts that the curtain was raised.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the willow trees that have sprouted new shoots on both sides of the melting river, and the old trees have been reborn.
She seemed to be in love with the scene, and the churning in her heart was better.
This time, she avoided the left and right, and came to visit the Prime Minister's Mansion at dusk, which seemed a little hasty. Liang Jing seemed a little nervous, completely losing the kindness of the prince when he was a child, on the contrary, he was very in awe of her.
"I came here today to discuss a few things with the teacher. I wonder if the teacher can take a step to speak? She stood in the main hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, looking at the vaat of clear water in the patio with a few long-withered lotus leaves, and her face was solemn.
Seeing this, Liang Jing had a premonition that there must be something important: "The emperor is here, please, go to the minister's study." β
The study room of the Liang Mansion is simply furnished, several old Taishi chairs are placed in the corner of the study, and a bookcase looks old but looks very thick.
"The prime minister shouldn't be so frugal, Liang Rui is of marriageable age, and he should always hold up a faΓ§ade." She didn't intend to say this, but recently there was a daughter in a minister's family, and she wanted to count on entering the palace to be her concubine, but when she refused, she promised the son of the minister of whose family took a fancy to her to match, and the minister pointed to Liang Rui, she couldn't help but remember it, and her heart was also depressed.
Liang Jing followed closely, and when he heard her say this, he hurriedly harmonized: "The children of the courtier's family are in front of the emperor all day long, and the ministers trust the emperor's blessings, and the thrifty breeze is for the official." Serve the emperor's grace and dare not do it for personal gain. When the emperor died, those words were still in the ears of the ministers. β
She was blocked back by Liang Jing's words: Liang Jing is really a veteran of governing the country, no wonder Ning Xizhao took his main dynasty at the beginning.
"Prime Minister, I'm worried about something these days. When the emperor died, I was still young, and the scene at that time was that of orphans and widows, and the country had no backbone. What I thought in my heart was that the emperor died in a hurry, and the reason was unknown. asked Gu Ling to check and found out a shocking secret. A stone that can kill people invisibly! I suspected that the cause of the emperor's death was related to the stone, and I wanted to see it for myself, so I asked Liang Rui to go with me. She expressed her thoughts to the teacher tactfully.
Liang Jing looked at her in a daze and was silent for a long time.
"Prime Minister, I don't know what you think?" She looked at Liang Jing, who seemed to have something unspeakable, and her heart was even more uneasy.
Liang Jing looked uneasy: "Saint, that stone can really kill, the old minister implores the saint not to take the noble body to risk." The dog is sent by the emperor. β
"Prime Minister, I am worried in my heart that after the death of the first emperor, I have been unable to obey the ministers since I was young, and now I can find out the other reason for the death of the first emperor alone. In the future, the Son of Heaven will be majestic above the court. She said that Liang Jing had been worried about the big things.
"The ministers are guts, what is the accident of going to the holy car, what should be done in this court? "Liang Jing still wanted to persuade hard.
"Prime Minister, I have asked Ning Rong to prepare an edict, and Feng Ning Yufan will be the king of Ning, and he will supervise the country. Then prepare a blank edict stamped with the emperor's treasure and fingerprints. If anything happens to me, the prime minister will hold my edict and support Fan to ascend the throne. "She's ready to deal with the unexpected.
"Your Majesty, Prince Yufan is not yet ten years old this year. Guozuo Sheji does not allow the young lord to succeed to the throne again and again, and change the monarch in three years and five years. If this continues, the fortunes of the country will inevitably decline. Liang Jing saw that he couldn't persuade her, and he was very uneasy.
"Prime Minister, do as I want! I have my own arrangements. Tomorrow, Liang Rui will prepare his line and enter the palace to see me, and set off directly. I'll go back to the palace and prepare. She knew that Liang Jing would definitely stop it.
Liang Jing saw that she had already turned around and left in a hurry, so he had to lean over and send him off: "Congratulations to the emperor."
She originally thought that Liang Jing would intervene in her plan a little, but she never thought that she would return to the palace on the front foot, and Liang Rui on the back foot was waiting outside the dormitory with a big burden on his back.
The chamberlain prayed through the peony screen: "Your Majesty, Commander Liang is waiting outside the palace."
She just changed into a dragon robe, and she was only wearing obscene clothes, so it was naturally inconvenient to go out like this: "You let Commander Liang come in and wait." β
"Slaves obey!" The waiter went out and went back to Liang Rui.
She was still muttering in her heart: Liang Rui came so quickly, she must have prepared early.
"Minister Liang Rui see the emperor." She picked up a random robe and quickly put it on, as if she had been on guard all along.
She reached out to touch the restraint on her chest, always feeling that it was not so safe, and it was still a little uncomfortable for her chest to be tied tightly. Her body is still developing, and she doesn't need such restraint when she wears a wide robe on her body every day. Now I have to wear casual clothes, but it's a lot narrower. If you don't tie it, you should let people see a thing or two.
She's a woman after all!
Liang Rui stood outside the screen, he didn't hear her squeak, and naturally he didn't dare to cross the screen to collide with the holy driver. He stood outside, looking directly at the faint figure inside, and the boy's intuition made him think about it.
He has always been close to the emperor, and unconsciously always feels that the emperor has an innate aura that can attract him closer, so that he can't speak.
She hurriedly walked out of the screen, but looked at Liang Rui, who had a dull face, standing there respectfully and solemnly. He was dressed in dark gray cloth, with a gray scarf wrapped around his head without a crown, and a blue cloth bag on his back.
is a flat-headed common man through and through, and he can't see the demeanor of the generals of the past at all.
Liang Rui was involved in the so-called treason and collaboration with the enemy, and now such a low-key trip is also to hide people's eyes.
I think he and she have a heart-to-heart. When she thought of this, she smiled on her face, which provoked Liang Rui, who was only related to her, to calm down, and couldn't help but look sideways: The emperor has his own softness.
"What objection does Commander Liang have to with my arrangement?" She didn't pay much attention to Liang Rui's reaction.
Liang Rui was lost in Shicai's smile, and after she asked, she was undecided, and knelt on the ground in panic: "The minister is sent by the emperor." Don't dare to make a mistake! β
"Liang Aiqing, this time I went out to visit the microservice, unlike the past days out of the palace to play, you and I are commensurate with our own brothers. Bring a dozen or so retinues and pretend to be merchants from afar. She leaned over and helped him up.
"Obey." Liang Rui bowed with her support.
She always felt that Liang Rui was stunned most of the time, especially when treating her as an emperor. She used to bully him all the time, and it was only when he was bullied by her that he had that kind of intimacy.
Thinking so to herself, Liang Rui followed her and spared a few palace corridors before she saw Ning Rong coming nearby. In recent days, she has felt that Ning Rong's concern for her has become more and more indescribable, and in short, she will feel a little pity.
"Liang Rui, listen up, when Hui Ningrong comes over, tell her that we will go out of the palace to relax. Don't mention anything else. She woke up the clumsy Liang Rui first.
"Obey." Liang Rui didn't dare to disobey her will.
"Chen Ningrong greets the emperor." Liang Rui's words fell, and Ning Rong came to her in a blink of an eye.
"Ning Rong is up quickly, I want to go out for a few days, and the government affairs will bother Aiqing to help me watch, just like before." She never thought that she used to be playful and playful, but Ning Rong could be on top when she left the palace.
"Obey." Ning Rong naturally obeyed.
