Chapter 91: The Wicked
Ye Tian fell into her arms and went straight to the Wenxuan Palace.
After she announced it today, Lu Yanchen was no longer the master of Wenxuan Palace.
She and Lu Yanchen have been teachers and students for two years, and Tai has spent half of her time in this Wenxuan Palace, so that every time she walks into this Wenxuan Palace, a little warmth and nostalgia will rise in her heart.
"Your Majesty, do you really want to clean it up?" Li Baoquan, who was following behind, confirmed with her again.
Ye Tianhuai sighed softly and said, "Clean it up." The gentleman has resigned from the post of emperor, and staying here will only provoke tongues. ”
Li Baoquan answered, and began to instruct his little eunuchs to pack up Lu Yanchen's things.
Ye Tianhuai sat by the desk, watching them pack up his usual inkstones and paperweights, and the books and codexes he brought into the palace, and suddenly he really felt Lu Yanchen's departure.
These pen, ink, paper, and inkstones are all traces of her being taught by him, bit by bit, hiding her deep or shallow heart.
The noon sun shone outside the door, the courtyard was quiet and peaceful, and Ye Qianhuai felt that his heart had calmed down.
She remembered countless afternoons when Lu Yanchen taught her, and many times, they just sat quietly in a room, doing their own things at their respective desks, without saying a word.
Every now and then, Ye Qianhuai thought in his heart, if only such days could go on forever.
From now on, Lu Yanchen will not appear in this room again.
He's not her husband anymore.
"Your Majesty, General Chu Dingguo asks to see you." Li Baoquan's voice called Ye Tianhuai's thoughts back.
"In such a hurry? It's all here. Ye Qianhuai said, sat up straight, and ordered, "Let him come in." ”
As soon as Chu Dingguo saw Ye Qianhuai, he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, there will be a negative grace in the end." Du Zhengen asked the Criminal Department to take it away. ”
Ye Tianhuai was stunned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Chu Dingguo lowered his head a little ashamedly and said, "After Gonggong Li announced his decree that day, the last general took Du Zhengen down. But he insisted that he didn't know Concubine Lan, saying that he thought it was a spy who had infiltrated the palace, and assumed the identity of the cook, and the right guard routinely interrogated, because she refused to cooperate, so she was killed by mistake during the interrogation. ”
"When the last general saw that he was not convinced, he scared him twice, and as a result, he ......" Chu Dingguo blushed a little angrily, and said, "He said that the last general would abuse the lynching and would file a complaint with the Criminal Department to ask for a fair trial." The last general locked him up well, no one came in and out except for the food deliverer, and I don't know where he got the news from, and early this morning, someone from the criminal department came to take him away with an official document. ”
Ye Qianhuai frowned and asked, "How did you scare him?" ”
"I ...... I kicked him twice. ”
"Can you see the injury?" Ye Qianhuai asked.
"It didn't take much effort to get the last general, but maybe there would be some bruises." Chu Dingguo pondered.
Ye Tianhuai frowned, raised his forehead and said, "That's it." ”
She sighed softly and closed her eyes.
"Your Majesty, the last general swore to heaven that he would never hurt him, let alone lynch him. He treated Concubine Lan like that, that is a lynching! ”
Ye Tianhuai raised his eyes, looked at him calmly, and asked, "I ask you, where was Concubine Lan tortured?" ”
Chu Dingguo didn't seem to understand why Ye Tianhuai asked like this, he was stunned for a moment, and replied, "Prudent Criminal Division." ”
"Where did you 'scare' him?" Ye Tianhuai aggravated the word "scare".
"Right Yafu Si ......" Speaking of this, he seemed to think of something, and his voice lowered.
"The right guard only has the right to detain, not the right to torture. But the Penal Division has. As long as a person has been punished in the Criminal Division, he can make sense no matter what he says. But in your right Yafu Division," Ye Tianhuai's expression became as sharp as a knife, she sat up, approached Chu Dingguo, and looked directly at him, "Even if he loses a strand of hair, he can sue you for abuse of lynching." All you can do is ask, and if he doesn't answer, you can't do anything. ”
With that, she leaned back in her chair, and the sharpness in her eyes dissipated in an instant.
"If the Criminal Department is ruthless, you are already in the prison of the Criminal Department."
Chu Dingguo suddenly realized at this time, hugged his fists and said: "It is the last general who is reckless, please punish Your Majesty!" ”
Ye Qianhuai looked at him, shook his head slowly, and said, "I don't blame you, it's me who forced you too much." ”
She now has to agree with Gu Shihai's evaluation of Chu Dingguo: He is brave, but he is not the material to be a general.
But at the moment, apart from Chu Dingguo, who else can she be trusted, and who can be used?
Ye Tianhuai thought about it in his mind.
There was silence between the two for a while, and Chu Dingguo hesitated: "Your Majesty, there will be something I don't understand." ”
"You say."
"Why did Your Majesty let the last general go to worship Xu Liang? He tends to be inflammatory, bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, and waving a knife at His Majesty, it is not a pity for a wicked person like him to die, what is there to worship? When Chu Dingguo said that, his tone was indescribably angry.
Ye Qianhuai was so angry by his operation that she didn't want to speak, but when she looked up and saw his upright and square face, as well as the blazing and straightforward gaze that did not dodge, she suddenly felt angry again.
In today's court, it is rare to have such a pure heart with clear grievances and jealousy and hatred.
"You were dissatisfied, but you went." Ye said.
Chu Dingguo did not speak.
Ye Qianhuai asked again: "When you went to worship him, didn't you meet anyone?" ”
"The last general ran into the guards of the right guard, and they seemed to be following the last general, thinking that the last general was going to do something bad."
"And then?"
"They didn't expect the last general to go to worship Xu Liang, they were all surprised, so they worshiped for a few weeks, chatted with the last general for a while, and then went back together."
Ye Tianhuai nodded and said, "I asked people to lead them there." ”
Chu Dingguo's eyes widened in shock, and after a long time, he asked in disbelief, "Why?" Does Your Majesty think that a wicked person like Xu Liang is also worthy of worship? ”
"Of course not. He led people to change the palace, reversed black and white, killed my people, and scolded me for being confused, and I couldn't wait for him to break his bones and scatter ashes. A chill flashed in Ye Tianhuai's eyes, but he quickly calmed down, "What I need is not for you to worship him, but for the guards of the right guard to see you to worship him." In this way, the right guard will feel that you, the new commander who has fallen from the sky, are not their enemy. In this way, you will be able to gain a firm foothold in the right guard. ”
Chu Dingguo looked at Ye Qianhuai, his eyes were still surprised.
Ye Qianhuai could see that he did not approve of this kind of behavior.
"Chu Dingguo, I ask you, you always say that they are wicked people, so do you follow me to be a good person?"
Chu Dingguo nodded.
"I tell you that to be a good person, it is not enough to rely on blood alone. In this world, to be a wicked person requires ferocity and cunning. To be a good person is to be more ferocious and cunning than a wicked person. ”
After speaking, Ye Qianhuai showed a gentle smile to Chu Dingguo.
She smiled beautifully, but those eyes were deeper than the ancient night sky, and there was no bottom.
Chu Dingguo suddenly felt that the emperor might be far more than sixteen years old.
He believed that he was sixty years old.
