Time passed day by day, Zhou Tong, Lin Chong, and Pang He were supervised for seven days, and similarly, Shi Wengong was also imprisoned in prison for seven days. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The time was late at night, Pang He was in the restaurant, looking at the cool autumn night, this Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, although there is still a festive atmosphere on the street, but it has nothing to do with Pang He's mood. Although, Gonggong Li's words don't worry about his own life, Shi Wengong is still in prison, and he is still under surveillance.

The restaurant was closed, but he suddenly remembered the knock on the door, which surprised Pang He a little, and when the door opened, a face that seemed to be seen appeared in front of him. It turned out to be Father-in-law Liu: "Father-in-law Liu, you are so late, is there something wrong?"

Liu Gonggong said: "I am at the behest of the emperor to invite you to the palace!"

Pang He pointed around: "Gonggong Liu, there are dark lines around here, I'm going like this, it's okay?"

"Hey, don't worry!" Gonggong Liu said: "The emperor knows that you are being monitored, so he also deliberately set aside the Taiwei and also took over the people who are monitoring you." ”

Pang He said: "So that's the case, no wonder I think tonight, something is not normal, then let's go now!"

Pang He followed Gonggong Liu in a carriage and entered the palace, the same as the previous year, very mysterious and familiar. Walking into the palace, it was still the same room, but there was one person missing, the second senior brother Shi Wengong. Song Huizong was sitting between his master Zhou Tong and Lin Chong, and when he saw Pang He's arrival, he smiled slightly and motioned to sit down.

Huizong said: "I, it's so late today, I called you here, not because I have any task for you, but because I have something to say to you." What do you think of what the emperor has done, but it doesn't matter. ”

Zhou Tong replied: "The emperor is benevolent and proficient in pen and ink..."

Huizong shook his head and said, "Zhou Aiqing, I know that I am not an emperor, and I can't be a good emperor." I, being this emperor, is just for me to save this life. From ancient times to the present, as long as you are in the emperor's house, when it comes to the battle for the throne, there will be a river of blood, brothers will kill each other, and their battles will far exceed ordinary people, because there is only one throne in the world. Luckily, I succeeded, and I managed to get to this position. I also know that this throne is also a struggle of interests, as long as the ministers who follow you win, then they are a hero to the person who sits on the throne, and I must thank them well and protect them. Because it is also they who let me sit on this throne with peace of mind. I know, you have been wronged, and I also admit it, admit that I like Lanlan, and I can't extricate myself for a while. But I know in my heart, I clearly understand that you have absolutely no half-hearted thoughts about me. That's why I sent Gonggong Li to tell you in advance. Now, can you understand what I am saying?"

Zhou Dong's master and apprentice said: "The ministers understand!"

Huizong continued: "I also know Zhou Aiqing, you will not be willing to be a sect leader, even if it is a sect leader of the 800,000 forbidden army. I also want to see you go on the battlefield to kill the enemy and expand the territory for the Great Song Dynasty. I also said that although I am the Son of Heaven, there are some things that I can never do according to my wishes, especially the affairs of the court. I don't fear that you will laugh at me when I say it. I sometimes feel that there is just a relationship between me and some court ministers who use each other, but I have not broken this relationship, and I have always tacitly acknowledged it. They used me to get all the strength they wanted, and I got the throne because of them. When I saw that they were not satisfied, I was thinking, what should I do, thinking about it, but I couldn't bear it. That's why I'm in this situation today, I'm sorry for you. Through this autumn hunt, I also understand, Zhou Aiqing, I have to say goodbye to you. Although I want you to stay, I can't save you one at a time. I will issue an order tomorrow, because of your dereliction of duty, I will revoke your position as the head of the 800,000 forbidden army, and replace it with Wang Jin, the deputy head of the sect, and Lin Chong and Pang He will be dismissed and expelled from the forbidden army. But remember your master and apprentice working hard in the forbidden army, and pardon Shi Wengong. ”

"Thank you, Emperor!" the three of them thanked at the same time.

Huizong sighed and said, "Xie, there is no need, I feel that I have lost money to you." I'm really sorry for you for today's disposition. You can only eat coptis dumb and swallow the bitterness in your stomach! I have asked someone to prepare 300,000 taels of silver tickets, and I will make amends for you!"

Zhou Tong said: "It is the duty of the minister to serve the emperor, since the emperor understands the loyalty of the minister and his apprentice to the emperor, the minister has no regrets!"

Huizong said: "Between you and me, there is no need for this. If you take it, you should put me at ease!"

Zhou Tong said: "That minister, just accept it for the time being!"

Huizong stood up and walked to Zhou Tong's side: "Aiqing, how many years has it been since you first rescued me on Wangfeng Street?"

Zhou Tong replied, "It's been five years!"

Huizong smiled bitterly: "Yes, it's been five years, and time flies so fast." I think six years ago, you must have thought that I was not a good emperor, or you would not have done it. That year, you saved me, and I just gave you a street with your former merits. In another four years, I will secretly look for you again, and I will not be able to reward you in a dignified manner. It also makes you a target for some people. Now, I'm going to break up with Aiqing and say goodbye, I'm really reluctant!"

Zhou Tong said: "The ministers are reluctant to leave the emperor!"

Huizong smiled bitterly again: "I, I know, you can't do without me! In your heart, you are pretending to be the Great Song Dynasty, not me." No matter who ascends the throne, you will serve this Great Song Dynasty and the people of the Great Song Dynasty, do you say that I am not right!"

Zhou Tong replied: "Your Majesty, although the ministers are also as the emperor said, they care about the Great Song Dynasty and the people. As for the emperor, the ministers are also from the heart. The minister knew that although the emperor was not able to give me a chance to open up territory and expand the territory for the Great Song Dynasty, he also knew that the emperor was benevolent, just like now, the emperor put the emperor in his heart, how could the minister ignore the emperor?"

Huizong said: "I sometimes regret it, if it weren't for selfishness, sitting on this throne, would the Great Song Dynasty be better." What Zhang Dian said back then was right, I can't rule the world lightly, think about the days when I was the king of Duan, I can't go back!"

"Your Majesty!" Zhou Dong said.

Huizong laughed self-deprecatingly: "I've told you so much, I'm tired, you all go back!"

After the three masters and apprentices left the palace, along the way, they each thought about their own affairs and didn't know what to say. After saying goodbye to each other, Pang He returned to the restaurant, Su Ying had not slept yet, and also asked about the general situation of the matter, Pang He also said it one by one, and the time was in a hurry!
