Fifty-eight Bow down to the ministers
In just one sentence, Liang Dazi stood up straight and strode out, and the person next to him seemed to have just slapped Huo Lian.
Here, Liang Erzi grabbed Liang Liuzi, who wanted to take the opportunity to slap him, and the brothers left quickly.
Liang Dazi walked very fast, without stopping for a moment, and there were officials in the imperial city who wanted to talk but did not keep him, and he did not stop until he walked outside the palace gate.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites and Rites of the Ministry of War have long been left behind, and the brothers of Liang Erzi are also a little out of breath.
"Big brother, ..... you see" Liang Liuzi almost blurted out, hell, I can't say hell when I just saw His Majesty, "Then Huo Lian will beat you, what are you running, I'm afraid he will beat you."
It's a pity again.
"I still have time to slap him."
Before the words fell, Liang Dazi turned around and gave him a slap.
"Shut up for me, don't talk nonsense to him again!" Liang Dazi shouted in a low voice.
Liang Liuzi was stunned for a moment, and then became angry and aggrieved: "Why! Why can't I talk gibberish to him! Eldest brother! You protected him when I was a child, and you still do you protect him every time he bullies me."
When he was a child, when he heard these three words, Liang Dazi looked stunned, looked behind him, and seemed to look at the past.
The righteous sons of Liang Temple are all adopted orphans in the north, ranging in age, the eighth son is the youngest one, when he was picked up, the second son and the third son of Liang Dazi had already led the troops to fight, not so much a younger brother, but a son who was generally brought up.
That's a smart and lovely child, a little bit of a teach, other righteous sons have also invited Mr., but all literacy is enough, only the eighth son, ordinary teaching Mr. can't teach, Liang Temple also invited a famous teacher for him, and even taught piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, at that time, many people in the military camp joked that Liang Temple wanted to let the eight sons go to the draft to become a civil official, Liang Temple did not object at all.
"My eight sons are geniuses, and I can be a national warrior." Liang Temple said triumphantly.
The kid didn't live up to such praise, in addition to reading well, he also fought earlier than the other brothers, killed the enemy at the age of thirteen, although he was a little rusty and a little scared, but since then he has been doing better and better, his brain is bright, he is good at raiding, and many times he has made everyone scared, but he has returned safely with his military exploits.
Liang Dazi knew that it was not his eldest son who would be able to take over the mantle of Liang Temple in the future, but the eighth son.
But who would have thought that in the end the teenager's fame was not on the battlefield.
However, it was a more terrifying situation than the battlefield, if it weren't for the eight sons, if they were any of their brothers, their fate would definitely be different.
Liang Dazi took a deep breath and looked at Liang Liuzi and the others.
"I know you hate him." He said, looking at the others, "But have you ever thought that to resent him is to believe in the rebellion of the father-in-law, do you believe in the father-in-law?"
Liang Erzi and the others looked stiff.
"Big brother, the court has been convicted, it's not something we can think about." Liang Erzi said in a hoarse voice.
I believe that Liang Temple did not rebel, that is, to question the judgment of the imperial court.
If they dare to question the punishment of the imperial court, they will also be guilty of the same crime, and the Northern Navy will also be guilty of the same crime.
They were not afraid that they would be convicted and sentenced to death, but that they were afraid that the officers and men of the Northern Navy would be harmed.
So for so many years, they never dared to think about it, and they were not qualified to think about it.
Liang Dazi naturally knows it.
"But what kind of person is the father-in-law, and what kind of person is the eighth son." He whispered, "What others don't know, we know in our hearts."
Liang Temple, who knows that he is loyal to the monarch and loves the people, will not rebel, and the eight sons who respect his father-in-law will not kill his father.
Liang Erzi and the others had pain on their faces, precisely because they knew it in their hearts, but seeing the facts with their eyes would make people even more painful.
"Then think about it, if there is no Huo Lian." Liang Dazi said, "Can we survive until now?"
Can't you? Liang Erzi and the others were stunned again.
"Bazi exchanged his life for a Huo Lian." Liang Dazi whispered, "Standing between the Northern Navy and Your Majesty, when Your Majesty wants to see the Northern Navy, you will see Huo Lian first at first sight."
[In view of the general environment
,
If there was no Huo Lian, how long would they survive in the eyes of the emperor as the righteous sons who had killed the prince and conspired against the main culprit and held military power?
The horse's hooves trampled to break the stagnation of several people in front of the city gate, Liang Dazi took the reins, turned over on the horse, and then looked back at the imperial city, the palace was deep and deep, and the young man kneeling in the imperial study could not be seen.
"Let's go!" He urged the horse forward.
.......
.......
In the imperial study, the attendants held ginseng tea to the emperor.
"The brothers of the Liang family rarely enter the palace." The chamberlain smiled and said, "I don't know the rules, so I took advantage of Huo Dudu's knees to slap him."
The emperor was expressionless when he heard this, and the inner attendant conveyed what he saw, and he didn't say more, and was just about to retreat, when he reported outside: "Lord Liu asks to see you."
The emperor slammed the ginseng tea in his hand on the table.
"Doesn't this Liu Yan know how tired Your Majesty is!" The chamberlain said in a breath, "Why are you still here?"
Say goodbye to the emperor and plead with him.
"Your Majesty should rest, you can't stay up any longer!"
But the emperor did not follow his words to rest, looked at the shaking ginseng tea, and said, "Xuan!"
Liu Yan came in quickly, and when he entered the door, he knelt down first, knocked heavily, and didn't say a word.
The emperor said coldly, "If Lord Liu is also here to kneel, just go outside and kneel."
Liu Yan raised his head: "Kneeling outside is for others to see, and the minister only wants His Majesty to see it."
The Emperor sneered again, "What can I see when I sit on this high throne? I can't even see through the people closest to me."
After knowing the identity of the rich man, the emperor naturally knew that the rich man was related to Liu Yan, after all, the story of the benefactor who saved his life had already been reported by the judge.
In addition, Liu Yan later took the initiative to say that he was chasing Momen.
Thinking back at this time, Uncle Li Guo is nothing at all, Huo Lian is nothing, and the deepest hidden is Liu Yan.
"Liu Yan, I really underestimated you."
Liu Yan said: "The minister can't stand Your Majesty, and today the minister is here to confess." After talking about his past with the craftsman Yan, and his dealings with the rich man, how he found the real daughter of the old man, he kowtowed again after speaking, "Although the minister tried his best to monitor the Momen, he did deceive His Majesty because of his selfish intentions, and he should be guilty of the same crime as the Mo disciples, and ask His Majesty to give him death."
The emperor looked at Liu Yan who was prostrate on the ground, and said coldly, "Don't worry, so many eucalyptus, one by one, they will be given when it is time to die."
So many eucalyptus..... A thought flashed through Liu Yan's heart.
"Your Majesty, Jingzhao Mansion reported that Liu Wenchang's murderer has surrendered." He raised his head, "In addition, Miss Xiahou reported Lu Yi's murder to Jingzhao Mansion, because they all involved ink disciples, and the three divisions asked the three divisions to interrogate the two at the same time."
The emperor looked at him and sneered: "Okay, if you dare to judge, I will dare to let you judge."
Liu Yan looked at the emperor: "After the ministers have finished reviewing these documents, they will ask the three judges to hide the ink disciples." Then he prostrated heavily.
.......
.......
Liu Yan retreated, and the emperor raised his hand and pressed his forehead behind the book, and his gloomy face couldn't hide his exhaustion.
"Your Majesty." The chamberlain knelt down and pleaded, "You really need to rest, you can't stay up any longer."
The emperor was silent for a moment: "Let Huo Lian in."
The inner attendant was a little surprised, in the past, Huo Lian made a mistake and knelt outside, His Majesty ignored it, anyway, he knelt for others to see, and he knelt almost to do whatever he wanted, why did he kneel for a while, and the emperor was about to call in?
The chamberlain didn't dare to delay and immediately went outside to spread the word, Huo Lian didn't hesitate when he heard it, got up and walked in, and then knelt down in the hall without saying a word.
The Emperor looked at him and asked, "Don't you plead guilty?"
Huo Lian said, "The minister knows his sin, and the minister will judge himself, and there is no need to say it again."
The emperor sneered: "You are amazing, whether you are guilty or not is your own business, and it has nothing to do with me."
Huo Lian lowered his eyes and said: "Those past events have nothing to do with Your Majesty, Your Majesty has already suffered the pain of losing your loved ones, and you have to bear the chaos of true and false, right and wrong, although you are the Son of Heaven, it is too unfair to you."
The emperor looked at the piled up pieces on the table, and his expression was slightly stunned: "I didn't want to be this emperor."
I really didn't think about it.
Because I don't have the right to think about it.
This is something that is unthinkable.
But that relative left suddenly, and another relative became a rebel, and this great luck fell on him.
What is it called? Where is the Mandate of Heaven......
The emperor stood behind the table with a changed expression.
"Huo Lian." He called.
Huo Lian raised his head.
The emperor looked at him: "You know the truth, you have been by my side for so many years, do you have complaints?"
Huo Lian shook her head: "Back then, my father-in-law asked me to do it and told me that what I did was to protect the peace of the country and the people, and I was loyal to the monarch and patriotism, and later I did the same in front of Your Majesty, I did the right thing, without complaint, and willingly."
He looked at the emperor.
"The minister's father-in-law is indeed guilty, and the crime should be punished, and the minister has no resentment."
"This time, when I say these old things, I don't want Your Majesty to be deceived and make the right decision."
The emperor looked at him for a moment and nodded: "You are right, you should be punished for your guilt, Liang Bazi, how do you want me to punish you?"
Huo Lian leaned over: "Your Majesty, please punish the ministers and lead the Northern Navy."
The Emperor's eyes widened slightly, and he let out a sigh.
Without waiting for the emperor to speak, Huo Lian raised his head again and looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, please let Huo Lian lead the Northern Navy."
His eyes were dark and somewhat frightening.
The emperor still remembered that this young man was standing in the palace hall with the head of Liang Temple, and he was called over as the only prince who had nothing to do in the side hall.
There is no humanity in those eyes, no desire, only rolling anger, once you look at each other, it seems to be able to sweep you into the deep sea and never see the light of day.
So much so that for so many years, he never dared to look at Huo Lian's eyes.
Now, the emperor looked at Huo Lian, there was no anger in his deep eyes, only calm, like a pool of water that could see the reflection.
"The minister is not Liang Bazi." Huo Lian knelt down and took a step forward and looked at the emperor, "The minister belongs to His Majesty, Huo Lian."
The Emperor looked at him for a moment, sighed lightly, and let go of the hand at his side.
"I have a decision." He said, "Stand down."
.......
.......
The emperor went to rest, the imperial city did not fall into silence, and the capital was still lively as always.
There was an endless stream of people entering and leaving the city.
A black horse and a man in black galloped past the city gate, so fast that the city gate guards didn't see it clearly.
"Who?"
"It looks like the robes of the Governor."
Hearing this, the city gate guard suddenly stopped asking, do you have to judge, just don't see it.
In the village under the west mountain, the snow has melted, and the village road is a little muddy, but it does not affect the speed of the horse's hooves in the slightest.
"Horses are not allowed in the village." He said, looking at the knife in Huo Lian's waist again, "Weapons are not allowed to enter."
Huo Lian didn't speak, took off the knife and hung it on the horse's back, and strode in.
Standing in front of the courtyard gate, his footsteps paused slightly, and he seemed to take a gentle breath before pushing the door in.
There were not many people in the courtyard, and a girl was squatting under the eaves to boil medicine, and when she saw him, she raised her hand and said, "Huo Dudu is here."
Huo Lian remembered the girl she had seen in the north and nodded.
Chen Shi walked out of the room and looked at Huo Lian pouting.
"How is she?" Huo Lian asked.
"It's okay, it's really something, it's too late for Huo Dudu to ask after so long." Chen Shi said.
Huo Lian didn't care about his yin and yang weirdness, he always wanted to come, but he didn't do a good job in front of the emperor, which would only make her more dangerous.
A weak female voice came from the room.
"Brother Stone."
Chen Shixi was overjoyed: "The little girl is awake." Turned around and went in.
Huo Lian's eyes also showed joy, and she hurriedly followed in.
Chen Shi sat on the edge of the bed and asked in a loud voice, "Are you hungry and thirsty, do you drink water?" Choked again, "Little girl, you finally woke up, I'm going to be scared to death, if you have a good one, how can I live."
The woman on the bed raised her hand slightly, as if to pat and comfort: "Brother Shi, don't be afraid, I'm fine."
Huo Lian stepped forward, and the sound of footsteps made the person on the bed pause, and then looked over.
After another injury, the woman's face was even thinner, her skin was almost transparent, her eyes were a little hazy, and she didn't seem to be used to waking up, but she quickly met Huo Lian's gaze, and it instantly condensed, but the next moment, the condensed gaze spread out like a cloud, and she lowered her gaze.
"You stand aside." Chen Shi snorted at Huo Lian, and shouted again, "What about the medicine, Ah Mao, what about the medicine."
There was a cat's response outside, but Huo Lian in the room did not stand away, but stared at the person on the bed, the joy in his eyes dissipated, and his expression became strange.
"You...," he stepped forward and stared at the woman lying on the bed, "Who?!"
