Volume 1 One Hand Covers the Sky Chapter 50 The Son of Heaven

What is she planning?

After a long time, Emperor Jingcheng pinched the armrest of the dragon's head, bowed his head slightly, and said, "Okay, just leave it to Jiao Hongxue." ”

Empress Jiao stepped forward and sat down on the side of the dragon chair, put her hand on the armrest of Emperor Jingcheng's dragon chair, and stroked it slowly, as if to appease.

She looked sideways and saw clearly through the bead curtain the face of Emperor Jingcheng that had been hiding behind the bead curtain.

The two looked at each other.

Then Tang Jiankai and Emperor Jingcheng chatted with some interesting things, and Emperor Jingcheng laughed from time to time, and Empress Jiao meekly poured wine for Emperor Jingcheng on one side.

This has been a habit for many years, even if the palace maids and eunuchs are there, as long as Queen Jiao is present, she will pour wine and serve.

Until the evening, Emperor Jingcheng and Tang Jiankai went to the stage to watch the play together. Empress Jiao didn't follow, she stood under the porch and looked at the figure of Emperor Jingcheng Dubu, until the afterglow of the setting sun shone on him, and Empress Jiao left under the service of the palace maid.

……

The drama on the stage was waiting on the side of the stage early, waiting for Emperor Jingcheng to sit down, waved his sleeves, and said 'start the play'.

The actors began to perform a new play in the evening.

This play is called Night Trial and Greed.

This is a case in the year of Chongwu, which tells the story of Zheng Guosheng's Chongchong years, when Chen Yu, the court captain, interrogated Gu Zaiqing, a corrupt official in Menzhou, at night.

The drum is soft, it is silent, the lake waves are calm, the carp at the bottom of the water is nowhere to be found, only the drum beats are left in the sky and the earth in an instant, and the drama dances with long sleeves and raises its feet to enter.

Emperor Jingcheng took the wine from the eunuch, raised his arm and stopped on his chest, looked at the stage, and said, "Chen Yu interrogated Gu Zaiqing at night? ”

"Your Majesty's eyes are like torches, and you can see it at a glance." Tang Jiankai held up the wine venerable, raised his eyes and signaled the eunuch to retreat, "It is the night trial of heavenly greed." ”

"Sheng Chongnian, I am still a child." Emperor Jingcheng drank half of it, raised his sleeve and wiped the corners of his mouth, "That year, the corruption case was big, and the whole country knew about it. ”

Approaching the beginning of summer, the water of the Tianhe River is a mountain spring again, and the lake waves are covered with mist, and the cold is forested. The eunuch waited beside him with a crane, and when he saw that Emperor Jingcheng was only wearing a thin robe, he boldly stepped up the jade steps.

Playing Chen Yu's evening drama and singing the lyrics 'Menzhou Wanjin is in your arms, and now the crime is clear to the world, you ~ still don't admit your guilt? ’

The actor who played Gu Zaiqing knelt on it and trembled, singing the lyrics in a trembling voice, 'Ministers for the people, innocent~'

"Gu Zaiqing colluded with 11 counties in Menzhou, smuggled salt and iron, and collected thousands of dollars, which can be described as greedy." Tang Jian drank it all and exhaled freely, "The Chen family has been loyal and good for generations, and the laws of Zheng Guo are all from the sages of the Chen family, and they are strictly enforced and pursued by the people of the world, which can be described as the foundation of Zheng Guo." ”

The eunuch put on a crane for Emperor Jingcheng, and he stretched out his arms to put it on, and this crane seemed to cover up the terrifying king's momentum, but showed the chic fairy posture of his youth.

"The foundation of the country, the upper line and the lower service, should be so." Emperor Jingcheng waved his sleeves, "The Chen family has written the law in the past dynasties, and the post of court lieutenant is held by the Chen family, and the first emperor has no objections, and I feel that there is no objection." ”

Tang Jiankai listened to the words, bowed his head in agreement, and said: "The first emperor is virtuous, Your Majesty is sage, and Zheng Guo is lucky." Speaking of the Chen family, now the three eunuchs of Tingweizheng, left and right are all in charge of the three heroes of the Chen family, and the tiger father has no dogs, so Chen Yuwan can look at it. However, Your Majesty, the old minister heard a few days ago that this time the three heroes of the Chen family went south to Yanzhou, and Chen Pinggang, the left supervisor of the court captain, was tragically murdered by gangsters and died in Yanzhou. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Emperor Jingcheng put aside the wine he was about to drink, looked at the stage and said, "Can you find out the murderer?" ”

"No, I didn't." Tang Jiankai replied, he put aside the wine lord, and said, "In order to try the case of harboring anti-thieves in Jiangzhou, Chen Qiusheng stayed in Yanzhou, but Chen Jinqiu took the case and waited for the trial to be heard. Thinking about it, he will come to find His Majesty to make a clear decision. ”

"I don't care about the court." Emperor Jingcheng sat cross-legged, "I am very relieved to have Pang Sikong to deal with the government affairs." ”

Tang Jiankai complimented and said: "Your Majesty is not cured, and you know how to make good use of it." ”

"If you have something to say, say it." Emperor Jingcheng leaned back against the soft collapse, "This is my home. ”

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the eunuch who was pouring wine for Emperor Jingcheng lit up, he hung his head, and no one could see the change in his expression.

The stage is singing, and the drums are beating briskly.

Tang Jiankai glanced at the eunuch in a dignified posture and said: "Chen Qiusheng stayed in Yanzhou, and said that if Yanzhou is flooding this time, he will swear to live and die with the people of the 14 counties of Yanzhou. Your Majesty, this living Yama is gambling with his life and heaven. ”

The drums are beating faster and faster, and the opera has reached the middle of the stage, and the actors who play the role of the common people are kneeling on the ground and crying, and the lyrics are all begging for mercy and greedy for regreen.

"Heroic, courageous." Emperor Jingcheng pinched the tips of his fingers and turned white, "He is staying in Yanzhou, let Chen Jinqiu press Jiang Zimo back to the capital." See me? What should I do? What should I do? ”

"The Jiang family is the foundation of Yanzhou, if there is no Jiang Zimo, this Dingze real pine, Yanzhou water, I am afraid no one can govern." Tang Jiankai looked at the stage and sighed, "Jiang Zimo is old, kill, the people of Yanzhou will definitely be poor and angry." If he doesn't kill him, His Majesty is afraid of him and makes Kyushu see the joke. ”

"Oh? I'm afraid of him? Emperor Jingcheng's eyes suddenly squinted, "There was a person who was the same back then, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty!" ”

Emperor Jing Cheng suddenly raised his voice and pointed ahead.

"The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty!" He let out a long trembling sound, pointed his finger to his nose, stared at Tang Jiankai and said in a deep voice, "They all said that I was afraid of him." But what is I? I am the Son of Heaven! Kill and kill. ”

He waved his sleeves hard.

Tang Jiankai knew that Emperor Jingcheng was talking about Zhen Yi in the seventh year of Zhongyong.

Tang Jian opened his throat and slid his head, swallowing his saliva, and said: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and he is a traitor, and he deserves to die for his crimes." ”

"You sit in my house and say things against your will in front of me." Emperor Jingcheng's nose moved slightly, and his face showed anger, "Who are you fooling?" Deceit? ”

Tang Jian knelt down on his knees, bowed his head respectfully, and said in a dumb voice: "The old minister doesn't dare." ”

"Hmph." Emperor Jingcheng glanced at him coldly and said, "Build a building." I want wood from the two states of smoke and door, why? He leaned back on his back, "I took their wood and gave money." The real money is given out, the people have clothes to wear, food to eat, and they have given grace, if they don't thank me, will they still be able to fight back? ”

Tang Jian lowered a few points at the beginning, and said in his mouth, "The old minister is frightened, Your Majesty is atoning for his sins." ’

"The sin is not in you." Emperor Jingcheng's eyes flickered, and he suddenly looked straight ahead, "It's the Empress of Zhena, and there are branches." He suddenly turned his head sideways and pointed at Tang Jian's frequent dots, "You, you, alas." ”

Tang Jiankai understood that Emperor Jingcheng was angry, and Tang Jiankai did not openly confront Queen Jiao for the sake of building a building.

Emperor Jingcheng always said that he would forget people, and others would forget him. But he understood the helplessness in this sentence, but he didn't stand up when Emperor Jingcheng needed him the most.

Thinking clearly, Tang Jian slammed his head on the ground at the beginning, and said in a dumb voice: "The old minister is incompetent, and the crime deserves death." ”

"That's it." Emperor Jingcheng waved his sleeves, "Jiang Zimo has already been caught, and Chen Qiusheng also knows the pros and cons." Hmph, who will you show if you press yourself in Yanzhou? Show me? Okay, I'm looking, I'm going to take a good look at how he governs this Yanzhou. ”

The opera has come to an end, it is a scene of beheading, the people are crying, Chen Yu sits solemnly in the evening, and Gu Zaiqing holds his head high.

"Your Majesty, Chong has lost Chen Qiusheng's living Yama, and the letter case is not clear." Tang Jian opened his forehead against the jade floor, "You must be rescued to thoroughly investigate this case." ”

Emperor Jingcheng lowered his hand and looked at the stage silently.

After a while, he straightened his body by pressing the soft handrail, and said: "It's been pressed for four years, and it won't be bad if you press it for a while and a half." Yanzhou is a very important matter, and it can't be solved, and it's my elbow that is in trouble. Besides, I am sitting in the Heavenly Pavilion. He raised his chin towards Tianhe, "Look, the fish in this pool are quiet, muddy, and unclean." They all looked at me. ”

"Your Majesty's meaning, the old minister understands." Tang Jiankai slowly raised his head, "Someone has been sent to handle the matter in Yanzhou." ”

"Hmm." Emperor Jingcheng patted the armrest with a long groan, "Okay, I understand, get up." ”

Tang Jian straightened up, followed Emperor Jingcheng's gaze to the stage, and watched the knife held high, playing the role of Chen Yuwan sitting in a high position, looking straight ahead with a solemn face, and the shocking wood in his hand was slowly raised.

The actor who played Gu Zaiqing knelt and looked at the shocking wood calmly.

And the eunuch who served on Emperor Jingcheng's side was also distracted, looking at the drama with a flickering expression, in the intense singing music, he slid his throat and looked at this scene nervously.

"Do you see clearly?"

The distant voice behind the bead curtain suddenly approached!

The eunuch came back to his senses in shock, raised his eyes, and suddenly fell backwards in fright.

Emperor Jingcheng stood in front of him with his hands behind his back, and the crane covered his body, revealing the majestic posture of a fairy wind and bones.

He stretched out his arms, and the crane fell off along his shoulders and back, and fell heavily, and the firelight in the lamp on the pillar wall of the Heavenly Pavilion was swaying, illuminating the five-clawed golden dragon hidden in the shadows, and the movement and posture drove the bead curtain hanging from the crown to swing.

The eunuch saw it clearly, this time it was really not true.

Dragon!

The dragon's eyes were glowing with a terrifying coldness, staring at the eunuch to reveal the power of the emperor of the heavens and nobles!

"I ask you." Emperor Jingcheng looked down as if he was on the top of the sky, "Do you see clearly?" Did you hear me clearly? ”

The words carried endless oppression in the distance, and this momentum made the eunuch's whole body tremble, and cold sweat broke out on his back, and his robe was wet in an instant.

He hurriedly covered his spittle and stammered in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty. ”

Emperor Jingcheng raised his right hand high, carrying the stage on his back, and shook it like a thousand pounds!

Syllable!

The startling wood fell, and the crisp sound resounded through the Tianhe, and the carp in the pond swooped down on the Tianting Jade Step like an undercurrent wave!

Poof!

The eunuch's eyes widened suddenly with the sound, he looked at Emperor Jingcheng in horror, the corners of his brows and mouth twitched, and he slowly knelt down and fell!

An armored soldier suddenly appeared behind the eunuch, his face expressionless, and the blood-dripping steel knife in his hand was collected in one fell swoop.

With a click, the knife was sheathed.

He saluted respectfully, and with a leap of foot, it seemed to disappear in an instant.

But Tang Jiankai saw it clearly, this person came down from the top of the Heavenly Pavilion, this person ...... Hidden in the Pavilion all the time!

Emperor Jingcheng turned to look at the stage and clapped his hands, and said in praise: "Good show, very good." ”

The actors bowed their heads one after another, their faces were numb, and everything that happened to the other party turned a deaf ear.

Emperor Jingcheng looked at the surging waves in the Tianhe River with his hands behind his back, and said slowly: "Tang Situ." ”

Tang Jiankai immediately saluted and said, "The old minister is here." ”
