Chapter 123: The old minister goes

Shen Hongwen stepped out of death row, the sun was shining and he couldn't open his eyes, the fresh air made him very useful, he took a big breath, the air was very pure, there was no smell of blood, and the air was also very cool and refreshing. The red wall is deep in the courtyard, gorgeous and sacred, a white cloud stops at the noon gate and floats directly above, the palace is paved with gold bricks, and the tall city tower shows the value of power. The power is in the hands of one person, he can turn his hands into clouds and his hands into rain, the fate of everyone in the court is infinitely reduced, the emperor decides their life and death, between life and death, they still stubbornly choose a luxurious palace, with life as a bet, the ratio of glory and wealth to the head is fifty percent each.

Shen Hongwen walked forward slowly, feeling the smell of the palace. The palace architecture of Beijing is more magnificent than that of Nanjing, in addition to copying the old palace of Nanjing, there are many new buildings, and there are many more people, such as soldiers standing guard, eunuchs walking in a hurry, officials who only promise and palace maids who are Tingting E'e.

The Forbidden City in Beijing lived the first emperor Zhu Di, after the Yongle Emperor ascended the throne, in the first month of the first year of Yongle, just five months after the succession, Beiping was promoted to Beijing. Fengtianmen is the place where Ming Chengzu Zhu Di listened to the government, Zhu Di sat on the dragon chair, looking down on everyone below.

Shen Hongwen knelt under the main hall, bowed his head, as a prisoner of the imperial court, he had no dignity in front of the emperor, and he couldn't raise his head to face the king. Zhu Di nodded to the eunuch Wang Yu, and Wang Yu shouted loudly: "Summoning prisoners to the palace." ”

Shen Hongwen slowly walked up, now he was close to Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, he looked up slightly at the vague shadow in front of him, this shadow was wearing a dragon robe, and his whole body was golden and brilliant, mysterious and weird, which attracted everyone's attention. Shen Hongwen's eyes appeared again and again in front of his eyes, the delicate face of Zhu Di when he was young and the happy smile when he stretched out his little hand to accept the candy.

The Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven is no different from ordinary children, children's eyes are the purest, and everything children see is beautiful. As for the Son of Heaven, despise a qiē, doubt a qiē, the Son of Heaven cannot have a childlike heart, the fairy tale color will dissolve the dignity of the Son of Heaven, he can only do a qiē in disguise.

Zhu Di's current image gradually became clear in Shen Hongwen's eyes, Shen Hongwen stood not far from Zhu Di, Zhu Di did not let him kneel, because Shen Hongwen was a courtier of the first emperor.

Zhu Di asked, "Sir, don't come unharmed?"

Shen Hongwen replied: "It was good before seventy, but it will be miserable after seventy." ”

Zhu Di said: "Mr. is seventy years old this year, and he has to go through prison, and I can't bear it. ”

Shen Hongwen said: "The blessing of Emperor Zhu Yunwen of Tuojian Wen is that he sent me to the death row of the saint. ”

Zhu Di said: "Zhu Yunwen has harmed many old ministers. ”

Shen Hongwen said: "I have lived for 70 years, which is enough. ”

Zhu Di said: "As long as Mr. hands over Zhu Yunwen, he can live for another 70 years." ”

Shen Hongwen smiled: "If you live for another seventy years, you won't be an old goblin." ”

Zhu Di also laughed, Zhu Di laughed hoarsely, Zhu Di said: "Yes." ”

Shen Hongwen said: "Zhu Yunwen will not go to Tibet, let alone Shen Mansion, why do you always suspect a qiē, Emperor Jianwen has fallen, and he can no longer set off the wind and waves, let it go, there are too many people killed, and he will not sleep in peace at night." ”

Zhu Di's face sank: "Mr. seems to have lived enough,

Shen Hongwen asked, "How is the Holy Lord going to let me die?"

Zhu Di said: "Sir, don't worry, I'll let you see something first." ”

The four eunuchs walked up carrying a door panel, the door panel was covered with a red cloth, and under the red cloth were the appearance of two corpses, and Shen Hongwen's heart jumped violently.

Zhu Di said, "Do you want to see it?"

Shen Hongwen's voice changed: "Yes, who is it?"

Zhu Di ordered the eunuch to lift the red cloth, so Shen Hongwen saw the corpse of his son Shen Yunhe and the corpse of his daughter-in-law Ye Siyan, and the two looked very quiet, as if they were asleep.

Shen Hongwen staggered over, and Shen Hongwen fell on the corpse and cried bitterly.

Zhu Di said coldly: "They organized a martial arts rebellion to fight against the imperial court, and then committed suicide in fear of crime, which fully shows that you have a close relationship with Zhu Yunwen and are trying to rebel." ”

Shen Hongwen staggered to his feet and glared at Zhu Di tremblingly, "You are a tyrant, you deserve to be damned, Zhu Di, I curse you not to die well." ”

Zhu Di sneered: "Sir, this is the end of the game between us, I don't want to use torture against you, after all, you are the courtier of the first emperor, give you a whole corpse, I will bury you and your son and daughter-in-law together." ”

Shen Hongwen looked up to the sky and laughed, then knelt down and said, "Thank you, Holy Lord, the old minister is also going." ”

Shen Hongwen was strangled to death by a white silk in the end, Zhu Di did not break his promise, buried their father and son together, and the action of chasing Shen Fuyu officially began.
