Chapter 002: I Just Cry and Don't Speak
A low roar sounded, and the Changxin Hall was suddenly so quiet that it could be heard that the needles were dropping, and the palace eunuchs were frightened, and they couldn't help but stop their work tremblingly.
Even Zhidu, who had been kneeling indifferently beside the hall, adjusted his sitting posture with some uneasiness, and his expression was a little stiff.
Only Liu Sheng was still kneeling with his fists clenched, clenching his teeth, letting tears fall on the Chen wooden floor in front of him, and in the silent Changxin Hall, there was a soft sound of 'snap, snap'.
Listening to the 'click' sound in her ears, Mrs. Dou's back was ugly again, and she couldn't help but slam her dove cane on the floor again!
Although the gaze of the two people in the hall was still dull, combined with the anger that had already swelled up on the brows, it made people feel a palpitation even more.
Hearing this muffled sound, and seeing Liu Sheng's posture of 'I only cry, not talk', Zhidu finally couldn't sit down anymore, so he could only stand up hard.
"Empress Dowager."
"Yesterday, His Majesty invited Mrs. Jia to travel with her in Shanglin, and the minister escorted her."
On the way, Mrs. Jia occasionally felt unwell, and she wanted to... Going to the toilet ······"
With an embarrassed face, Zhidu's face only flashed with a hint of panic.
But soon, the panic that disappeared like a meteor was replaced by a strong calmness and fearlessness.
"Unexpectedly, at this time, the irrigation rushed out of the wild head, followed Mrs. Jia, and actually entered the toilet."
"Your Majesty is in a hurry, he draws his sword to save him, and the ministers are desperate to stop each other······"
"You say my mother is useless!"
Before Zhi Du's words fell, he was interrupted by Liu Sheng's roar, and saw Liu Sheng slowly turn his head sideways, and the masseter muscles were all undulating and squirming due to the clenched tooth socket.
Seeing Liu Sheng's face, Zhi Du finally panicked, so he hurriedly turned around and knelt on the ground in the direction where Empress Dowager Dou was.
"Queen Mother!"
"Mrs. Jia is in distress, Your Majesty wants to rescue her in person, this is ignoring the temple and the queen mother!"
"The minister advises Your Majesty: If a Mrs. Jia dies, there will be another Mrs. Jia entering the palace, Zongmiao and Sheji, there is no shortage of Mrs. Jia at all!"
"But if Your Majesty has a mistake, it will be ashamed of the ancestors and ancestors, the trust of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, and the thousands of Li Shu in the world!"
"Your Majesty wants to risk your life, ignoring the temple and the society, and the ministers are desperately blocking it, is it wrong?!"
He said this in a tone that seemed to be frightened and clearly filled with some grief and indignation, and saw Zhi Du slam his forehead down, kneel and kowtow, and was reluctant to get up.
"Zhonglang will be the minister, and he will die for a hundred years!"
"I implore the Queen Mother to call the shots!!"
With Zhidu's sonorous and powerful defense, the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace turned their heads sideways, and their faces couldn't help but have a touch of understanding and admiration.
It's just that this admiration is not aimed at Zhidu······
"Hmm······"
"What ······ I say?"
A moment later, Empress Dowager Dou's low and slightly hoarse voice sounded again on the imperial steps;
When Zhi Du tentatively raised his head, he saw that the Empress Dowager Dou, who was still standing with angry eyes, had quietly sat back on the royal couch at this moment.
"In the past, the princes had a lot of trouble, and I never saw Xiao Jiu get involved."
"I never thought that Zhi Zhonglang would ······ this time"
seemed to be joking, and said a little ridiculously, the Empress Dowager Dou finally turned pale and silently turned her cheek to the side.
"Go."
"Take 100 gold gold."
In a cold tone, she explained to the eunuch beside her, and the Empress Dowager Dou turned her head again, roughly sweeping in the direction of Zhidu and Liu Sheng.
"Zhi Zhonglang is right."
"The so-called son of a daughter can't sit down;"
"As the saying goes: A gentleman does not stand on a dangerous wall."
"The emperor is in danger, and Zhi Zhonglang desperately stops him······"
"Meritorious;"
"Be rewarded."
Although she said this, Empress Dowager Dou did not see the slightest expression of appreciation on her face, and only nodded silently to the eunuch beside her.
Then, there was a huge tray full of gold cakes, which was presented to Zhidu by the old eunuch.
"In the future, Zhi Zhonglang will also be as he was yesterday, fulfill his duties, be loyal to the monarch and serve the lord······"
Looking at the rows of yellow gold cakes in front of him, and hearing the gentle and gentle admonition of the Empress Dowager Dou, Zhi Du only stretched out his hands excitedly, respectfully took the tray, and kowtowed to the Empress Dowager Dou again.
"Minister, thank the Empress Dowager for rewarding!"
"The Queen Mother's teachings, the ministers must keep it in mind, fulfill their duties, be loyal to the king, and never forget !!"
Listening to Zhidu's impassioned promise, Empress Dowager Dou nodded coldly, turned over slightly, and looked at the vague short figure in her eyes.
"As for Xiao Jiu······"
"Punching a courtier with 2,000 stones, the crime is unforgivable!"
As if annoyed, he let out a light sigh, and when he saw the Empress Dowager Dou, he immediately turned around and looked in the direction where Zhidu was again.
"But when I think of things, there is a reason, and it comes from pure filial piety."
"This beating is also beaten, and scolding is also scolded"
"Then he ordered him to go to Guangming Hall and think about it for three days behind closed doors······"
"Okay?"
Hearing that his grandmother judged him, Liu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but on the surface, he still looked aggrieved, and he didn't even forget to suck his nose, raised his hand again, and wiped his tears angrily!
On the side, Zhidu, who had just been excited by the award, was also pale when he heard the words.
- Guangming Palace, but it is Mrs. Jia's concubine hall and Liu Sheng's residence!
I couldn't help but say that I punched 2,000 stones, and I thought about it behind closed doors at home for three days······
The more he thought about it, the more Zhi Du felt angry;
But between the words of the Empress Dowager Dou, there was a clear hint of intercession for Liu Sheng.
At this point, Zhi Du didn't say much, so he could only force himself to suppress the anger in his heart, and seemed to be unwilling to mention it: "The Queen Mother has an order, and the ministers are ······."
"Don't dare to disrespect ······"
Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhidu's words fell, Empress Dowager Dou's face immediately sank, and the humble look that pleaded for Liu Sheng disappeared without a trace in an instant!
"Don't dare" disrespect······
"Humph!"
With a gloomy face, he snorted a few times, and saw Empress Dowager Dou groping her hand again, and got up with the support of the eunuch beside her.
"Since Zhi Zhonglang feels that he can't find justice in this Changle Palace, then go to Weiyang and find the emperor for justice!"
Unabashedly maliciously, Empress Dowager Dou finally turned around coldly, holding a cane in her left hand and the old eunuch in her right hand, and walked slowly in the direction of the apse step by step.
A moment later, a 'mumbling' sound came from a distance, which provoked Zhidu's already depressed face, and even more aggrieved.
"All of them are dignified, and when they see the sky, they know how to bully me······ blind old woman"
"The emperor's high-ranking officials are raised, is it possible that they are all such courtiers?"
