Chapter 119: Resignation and Zhihan (3)
On the day of the decree, the emperor urgently sent someone to the East Palace to inform the crown prince. When the prince heard the news, he jumped out of bed with excitement, and wandered from side to side in the house, laughing wildly and clapping his forehead, so that he burst into tears, and was cured of a serious illness.
Lan Yuan also came back from the emperor at this time, he walked into the gate of the East Palace in high spirits, put on new clothes, looked proudly around, saw the guards all greeted each other happily, and hurriedly asked, "Why are you so happy?" ”
The guards all said, "When Your Highness is well from your illness, you summoned us and others to give us a reward, and the brothers took a lot of silver, so they rejoiced!" ”
Lan Yuan's hanging heart was put down, he strode into the main hall, knelt down in front of His Majesty and shouted: "The courtiers read Lan Yuan to see the prince!" ”
"Blue Attendant! This king finally has to meet you again! The prince walked down the steps excitedly, lifted him up with both hands, and dusted his sleeves again, "I haven't seen you for many years, you are a lot haggard." Alas, when I think of my suspicion of you at that time, I really regret it...... Fortunately, the way of heaven is not endless, so that Lan Gong will return with his whole body, and make up for the guilt in my heart a little. ”
Lan Yuan sighed: "It's all old things, so there's no need to mention it anymore." The most urgent task now is to expel the Ye Dang as soon as possible, so as to prevent him from making a comeback. ”
After hearing this, the prince gritted his teeth and said: "This king also has this intention, but he doesn't know how to start. After all, the meaning of the father is not clear, and we can't be too presumptuous. ”
"Heaven has given His Highness a good opportunity, how can you be afraid?" As he spoke, Lan Yuan took out a list from his sleeve, "This is the Ministry of Officials who have planned to hand it over to me, and the people who should be removed are written on it, please take a look at it Your Highness." ”
The prince swept the list roughly, and saw that he wanted to announce his personal vendetta, and said hesitantly: "So many people...... I'm afraid that someone has been wronged, so hit it back and change it. ”
Lan Yuan insisted on admonishing: "The arrow is on the string, I have to send it, the ministers have been preparing for this for a long time, how can it be easier because of His Highness's words!" ”
"That'...... Then do as the attendant intended. The prince said embarrassedly.
Lan Yuan's revenge was even crazier than others had expected. At first, he just reported to Dali Temple, and through his relationship with the Hunan people, he recruited all the people who held grudges into accomplices in the murder of the prince. Later, he was not satisfied, let the Hunan people ask for a decree for him, and got a temporary errand of 'taking charge of the reverse case', and since then he has become more and more unscrupulous, and all those who have not met him are all accused of being anti-thieves, tied to the East Palace, and even tortured to death without reporting; Although the emperor knew the reason for this, after a series of major events, he also thought that it was time to kill the Ye Party's spirit, and as for how many lives were spent, it seemed to be irrelevant. As a result, no one dared to speak out in the court, and an atmosphere of slaughter permeated everywhere.
"Are you killing again?"
Ye Yongjia retreated and walked to the Datong street, and heard the noise in the distance, so he frowned and asked Cui Yidao.
"It should be...... Today's first, I can't count. Cui Yi glanced at the pool of blood on the ground, and was dragged about a dozen steps away.
"What is the point of Cai Lao leaving me this life?" Ye Yongjia lowered his head and said, "It's nothing more than struggling on the water, and you have to watch the suffering on the shore......
Speaking of this, he suddenly loosened his eyebrows: "Forget it, in fact, I also look numb, when will no one have a head fall to the ground?" Adding this sentence does not show my compassion, only disgusting hypocrisy. ”
Cui Yi saw that he was a little emotionally abnormal, and couldn't help but show worry, and persuaded kindly: "Brother-in-law, in my opinion, you don't stay in the capital for the past two days, it's better to write a letter to ask for a patrol, stay away from here for the time being, and calm down." If you keep tightening like this, it's easy to get into trouble. ”
"Where are you going?" Ye Yongjia turned his head, "I can't go around to play in the mountains and rivers, right?" ”
Cui Yi raised his eyes and thought for a moment, then asked cautiously: "How about going to Dong Sheng?" ”
Ye Yongjia bowed his head lightly: "It's a good place to go." When I go home to meet your sister, I'll be ready to leave tomorrow morning. ”
"Yes."
Ye Yongjia pushed open the door of the mansion, and saw that the surroundings were empty, and there was no trace everywhere, so he walked to the guest hall and shouted in a low voice: "Miss Cui, Cui ......"
Before he could speak, a man suddenly came out of the room, and without recognizing it, he threw himself into his bosom, and almost made him stumble; When I looked down, it was Cui.
"I thought I'd never see you again......" With tears in her eyes, she grabbed him by the sleeve and whimpered.
He also felt a sour corner of his eyes, and his heart seemed to be stirred up with a warm current, but he tried to suppress his emotions, and stroked her hair with trembling hands: "Look at you...... I was only locked up by them for two days, so why make it look like I was parting with life and death......"
"Why do you say so lightly......" She raised her head, her eyes were already red, and tears poured out from the corners of her eyes, "I was alone at home, I couldn't eat, I didn't dare to sleep, and my stomach hurt so much that I vomited, and I finally looked forward to your return!" ”
Ye Yongjia listened, sighed, put his head against her forehead, closed his eyes and said, "Why do you want to toss yourself?" ”
Cui Shi bit his lip, and his tone was categorical, showing a rare strength: "I have secretly thought to myself, if you are happy, I will be happy with you; If you are bitter, then you will suffer with you, and the stone will not be moved. ”
"Don't worry, Miss Cui, I won't let you ...... in the future"
Ye Yongjia wanted to continue to say "suffer the same pain", but he was stunned and wanted to go, isn't this sentence a kind of deception? It is true that this is an expectation of infinite beauty, but he knows that this future is so slim, and I am afraid that it will only usher in withering and death. He did not dare to let his love sink too much into it, and he would have to bear infinite sorrow. So he managed to keep going, even though it made him feel like he was being overwhelmed.
Cui Shi not only knew it, but also empathized, and began to hold back tears, no longer speak, no longer cry, quietly felt the temperature of the other party, and his forehead pressed against each other for a long time. At this moment, she felt as if her figure had disappeared, turning into a small and small spirit, lingering with him, turning in circles over and over again.
"Sit down," Ye Yongjia opened his eyes and hugged Cui's, "What a good thing, what's it to cry." ”
Cui's mood calmed down a little and asked, "I heard...... Cai Lao has already donated his life? ”
"Yes," Ye Yongjia's expression was still gloomy, "He's for me." Don't mention it. ”
Cui Shi frowned: "Alas, what a good old gentleman, our family is really ashamed of him." ”
"After his death, Lan Yuan began to kill people like crazy, in order to avoid retribution, I can't live in the capital," Ye Yongjia said, "I need to go out and avoid the limelight." Miss Cui, I can only accompany you for one day. ”
