In the back garden of Weiyang Palace, the sound of cicadas is endless, the leaves are gently blowing, and the summer heat is slightly relieved, Liu Qi enjoys the beautiful scenery of the back garden in the company of the confessor, and when the interest is high, a confessor walks to Liu Qi's side and leans forward and whispers: "Your Majesty, there is something going on over there over there in Zhou Yafu." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Oh, this Zhou Yafu, what stubborn things have you done again?" Liu Qi asked in surprise.

"Just now, a coolie came to sue the emperor, saying that Zhou Yafu secretly bought 500 pieces of armor and shields, forced them to consign, and thought that he would rebel. ”

"Where is Zhou Yafu now?"

"Your Majesty, Zhou Yafu now lives in the fiefdom of Jiangxian County. ”

"Oh, isn't Zhou Yafu still repentant, it seems that he is still full of resentment towards me;" Liu Qiyi waved his hand to beckon the confessor to come closer, and then said, "Inform Ting Wei of this matter and let him seriously check it." ”

"No. ”

The newly appointed Tingwei is named Flaw, in charge of the world's prisons, after receiving the holy decree, he went to Jiangxian in person, Zhou Yafu saw that Chang'an came, and it was also the flaw he knew, thinking that the emperor had changed his mind to use himself again, and hurriedly went to the intersection to greet him, Tingwei Flawed sat in the car and saw Zhou Yafu in front of him from a distance, and instantly his arrogant expression overflowed the vestibule, and after approaching, Zhou Yafu saluted forward: "Zhou Yafu welcomes you all on a mission, and you have worked hard all the way." ”

"Parking. He shouted softly without blinking his eyelids, and then said, "Zhou Yafu, you are guilty." ”

Zhou Yafu was confused for a while, and replied inexplicably: "I don't know where Tingwei started with this?"

"Oh, okay, Zhou Yafu, you have grown your skills in seclusion in this Jiangxian County for a few days, can you jump out of the emperor's palm no matter how great your skills are?"

"Tingwei has something to say, the old man really doesn't know what you're talking about?"

"I'm not afraid that you are pretending to be confused, let me ask you why you bought five hundred pieces of armor and shields in Chang'an. ”

"Where did Ting Wei start, didn't the old man have it?" Zhou Yafu asked suspiciously.

"Okay, I still don't admit it, it seems that I want to fight the court to the end, and I really want to plot against it. ”

"What Ting Wei said was a bit excessive, and the old man didn't bother to talk to you. Zhou Yafu was so angry that he turned around and walked towards his house.

Ting Weifang even thought that Zhou Yafu was going to move the troops, and immediately ordered in horror: "Quick, quickly turn the car around and return to Chang'an, in case there is fraud here." ”

"No. The vehicle turned its head and drove towards Chang'an without stopping for a moment.

Zhou Yafu came to his courtyard angrily and said to his wife: "It seems that the emperor is still not angry, and today he even charged me with illegally buying weapons." ”

At this time, Zhou Yang walked in and interjected: "Father, the child is sorry for you, Tingwei must have asked about the five hundred pieces of armor and shields that the child bought in Chang'an." Then Zhou Yang told him what he did in Chang'an.

"Hey, kid, you're really confused, confused. Zhou Yafu thought that the matter had come to this, and it was useless to be angry, and then waved his hand and said, "Hey, it's okay, the old man doesn't please the emperor anymore, even if there is no such thing, there will be other incidents, let's see." ”

Ting Wei even ran back to Chang'an in a carriage, and he didn't care about drinking a sip of water and eating a mouthful of food, and even crawled to the Qingliang Hall of Weiyang Palace, Liu Qi looked at the even more embarrassed appearance, and asked very funny: "Ting Wei, didn't I send you to investigate the case of Zhou Yafu's purchase of weapons, what made you so embarrassed?"

"Return... Your Majesty," Fang replied breathlessly, "Zhou Yafu has rebelled, and buying weapons is to rebel." ”

"What, he really dared to rebel, you read that right. ”

"There's absolutely nothing wrong with that, if the minister runs a little late, I'm afraid he won't even be able to save his life now. ”

"Then what are you still doing here, quickly lead the troops to arrest Zhou Yafu, put him in prison, and punish the crime according to the law. ”

"No. After receiving Liu Qi's order, he turned around and walked out of Weiyang Palace, gathered his soldiers and horses, and quickly drove to Jiangxian County.

When the heavy soldiers surrounded the Zhou Mansion, Zhou Yafu drew his sword and was about to kill himself, but his wife hurriedly stopped him and said: "Husband, if you die like this today, I am afraid that the charge of rebellion will no longer be washed away, it is better to go to Chang'an with Tingwei and explain the situation to the emperor to wash away the grievances. ”

Zhou Yafu thought that his father Zhou Bo had also been slandered and rebelled, and after being put in prison, he explained the situation to the queen and turned the danger into a disaster, believing that he could do the same, so he put down the sword in his hand, dispelled the idea of suicide, and was tied up and taken to Chang'an by the court captain, and put him in prison, and when the prison door was locked by the jailer, Zhou Yafu shouted: "I want to see the emperor, I want to see the emperor." ”

I saw that the jailer said coldly: "Hmph, I don't take a few catties and taels of myself, I still want to see the emperor, wait here honestly." ”

"The bold little official dared to be so rude to the old man, but he knew that the old man was Zhou Yafu. ”

The jailer smiled and said, "Hehe, I don't care what kind of marquis you are, I only know that all the prisoners who come here are prisoners, be honest with me." ”

"God, why do you treat the old man like this. Zhou Yafu instantly lost his temper, and could only look up to the sky and sigh, but after thinking about his wife's words, he mustered up the courage to wait for the opportunity to come.

Tingwei returned to Chang'an, and came to Weiyang Palace to report the situation to Liu Qi all the way, and said with added fuel and vinegar: "Your Majesty, the minister took a lot of effort to capture Zhou Yafu, and now he is locked up in the prison of Tingwei Mansion, please make it clear." ”

Liu Qi pondered for a long time, thinking about Zhou Yafu, who had made great contributions to the Han Dynasty, if it was said that other people rebelled, it was a little believed, if it was said that Zhou Yafu rebelled, it would be ten thousand people who did not believe it, but why couldn't he support his own policy strategy for a long time, always looking for his own trouble, and it would not work to teach him a lesson, and the prince in the future would not be able to deal with this person, and he would not be executed immediately, which would make the world laugh, so he said casually: "Flawed change, you go and continue to interrogate, ask him why he rebelled, and he must find out." ”

"No. ”

After leaving, Liu Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart was mixed, this matter could drag on in Liu Qi's heart day by day, and he fell into a dilemma.

Bin even came to the prison under the jurisdiction of the Tingwei Mansion, Zhou Yafu sat in the cell and closed his eyes slightly, and Bin even asked: "The prince has a good life, but why rebel?"

Zhou Yafu heard the voice, opened his eyes, and snorted in his nostrils: "Xiao'er bought funeral supplies, how can you say that it is a rebellion?"

"Hahaha, I think you just don't rebel on the ground, I'm afraid you will have to rebel underground. ”

"You, you, you, you, flawed and younger, deceive people too much, the old man disdains to talk to you, I want to see the emperor. ”

"Hehehe, Junhou, now you are no longer the prime minister of the past, is the emperor you can see if you want, wait slowly, everything must be explained honestly. ”

Then he asked the jailer, "Has the prince eaten?"

The jailer replied, "Captain Baoting, I haven't eaten anything since I arrived here. ”

"Oh, why don't you skip the meal?" said Blemish, confused.

"Captain Ting, the meals arrived on time, but he didn't even look at it, let alone eat it. ”

"Oh, it's really a bone, since you're here, let him go. As he spoke, he walked out of the prison with his hands behind his back.

Leaving Zhou Yafu to look at the prison door pitifully, he said in despair: "Could it be that the old man has fought hard for half his life in exchange for such an end, the sky is open, why." ”

All that answered Zhou Yafu was the cold sound of the jailer locking the door.

Zhou Yafu thought back to the past eventful years, thinking about who fought with the soldiers and iron horses, saved the people from fire and water, and helped the Han in danger, but now he has to be humiliated by the nameless officials, he is really angry, the more he thinks about it, the more angry he becomes, refuses to eat and drink, five days later, a stream of blood spurts out of his mouth, such a hero who has made great contributions to the Han Dynasty died unjustly in prison.

When Liu Qi heard the news, he said faintly: "Let's bury it." From then on, a big stone in Liu Qi's heart could finally be put down, and his mood became much easier because of Zhou Yafu's death, and the wheels of the big man were rolling forward like thorns.
