Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 667 Wang Tianqi

Inside the house, Wang Tianqi was sitting on his knees, holding medicine and carefully feeding his wife.

His wife was lying on the bed, her hands twitching, and she could only utter inarticulate words.

Three years ago, my wife accidentally fell down while doing housework, and she became what she is now. She can't speak, her body is half paralyzed, and she no longer has the burly figure she used to. , But they couldn't do anything, they all said it was a head injury and stroke, which could not be cured.

Wang Tianqi began to take care of his wife himself, he was not at ease to let the servants take care of her.

For three whole years, he has been taking care of his wife personally, from food and medicine to excretion, all by himself.

Because of his wife's strength, Wang Tianqi never took a concubine, but now that his wife has fallen, he still doesn't take a concubine.

Mrs. Wang twitched, and let out an indistinct strange cry.

None of the servants or children in the family knew what Madam was talking about, but Wang Tianqi understood, and he could even chat with Madam.

"I see. I'll go eat after feeding you. You take the medicine first."

"This medicine is not bitter, don't be stubborn"

"Zhonghuang is in Hanoi, and I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in the short term."

Wang Tianqi was chatting with his wife, the lady finished the medicine soon, and then cried out eagerly, Wang Tianqi understood what she meant, ordered someone to bring the food, sat aside, and began to eat with her head down. After calming down, he turned his head to look at him, but Wang Tianqi remained silent.

"Ma'am, I remember that when we first met, you gave me wheat rice, but it was not as delicious as what you made."

"I don't know what you fell in love with me at that time. You insisted on forcing me to stay at home. After eating your bowl of wheat rice, you set yourself up."

Wang Tianqi laughed as he spoke.

Madam grinned and whimpered.

"Haha, I was still young at the time, and you said that if I dared to leave, I would go to the government and sue me for stealing. I actually believed it, and I was so scared that I married you."

"Thinking about it now, I was really timid back then."

Madame whimpered again.

"Haha, yes, I am also timid now."

Wang Tianqi shook his head, "In this world, how can you survive without being timid? Sometimes you need to be reckless, and sometimes you need to be timid. I am also timid when I am by your side. In the past, they all called me Throwing Tingwei .now they don't say that anymore"

Madam was quiet for a moment, then began to sob eagerly.

"Forget it. At this age, what kind of concubine do you still have? The children are so old, and it's not that there is no one to take care of them at home. No need to say more."

"Okay, okay, at this age, you have been scolding me for decades."

Wang Tianqi stepped forward and wiped the saliva from the corner of Madam's mouth, and then stopped Madam's anger. Madam seemed to want to say something, but she couldn't say it, but she cried aggrievedly. Wang Tianqi hurriedly comforted, "Don't think about it Well, let’s think about Chu Long’s marriage. Chu Long is about to start a family. It’s not suitable for me to be a concubine. Well, I respect Ji Yushi very much, and his granddaughter is definitely good, but I just want him to find a child from an ordinary family, and Ji Yushi's family are all strong characters."

While the two were talking, an official hurriedly shouted in the courtyard: "Your Majesty!! My Majesty!!"

Wang Tianqi was taken aback, and hurriedly got up, "You rest, I have to be busy."

When Wang Tianqi walked out of the courtyard, he returned to his original appearance, a little dull, simple and honest, relying on this appearance, he survived every change since the founding of the Great Han Dynasty safely.

The subordinate official king was pale and looked extremely frightened.

"My lord, something serious happened"

"what happened?"

"Shen Tujia reported Chao Cuo cursing the Supreme Emperor, hoping that the emperor would die early. Both of them were imprisoned, and His Majesty was very angry. He said that he would kill them."

Wang Tianqi's expression changed drastically, "What??"

But soon, he calmed down again and asked, "Who is in charge of this?"

"Your Majesty didn't say anything, but asked Jian Jianhou to lead the soldiers to imprison the two of them, and no one was allowed to visit the prison, saying that they would be beheaded and abandoned in the market in three days."

Wang Tianqi frowned and remained silent.

"this matter"

Wang Tianqi hesitated for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh, "Get the car ready."

Wang Tianqi was about to go to the palace. In fact, there were quite a few people who had this idea. When Wang Tianqi arrived at the palace, he looked around and saw many carriages parked outside the gate of the palace. Many ministers were standing at the door, chatting excitedly with them. wearing something.

"What is Shentujia's crime? Why was he executed without trial?!"

"Your Majesty's move is really against the law!!"

"Let's go in!!"

Lu Jia, the imperial servant, Jia Yi, even Luan Bu, Zhang Meng and others are all here, and there are many officials, all of them are officials of the imperial court, but at this moment, they are all blocked outside the gate of the palace. Do not allow them to enter.

The soldiers looked at them seriously and were indifferent to their words.

These people seem to have come to intercede for Shentu Jia, and only Luan Bu came to intercede for Chao Cuo. At this moment, Luan Bu shouted angrily: "This is a false accusation, and it is definitely not the fault of these two people!!"

Wang Tianqi stood in the distance, quietly watching this scene.

He didn't stay, instead, he directly drove to the gate of the imperial palace facing Changle Palace next door. There were a lot fewer soldiers here, and there were not many people gathered. After all, the officials never entered from here, so Wang Tianqi made people stop Che, then walked towards the soldiers, saluted them, and said, "I'm here to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager."

Wang Tianqi has always been close to the Queen Mother, and is also recognized as the backbone of the Queen Mother's party. The soldiers were not surprised, and after going in to report, they opened the door for him.

Wang Tianqi entered the palace and walked directly to the Hall of Longevity.

Knowing that he came to see him, Empress Lu was very happy. She asked about his wife's situation, and promised to find some more famous imperial physicians for him, which was a few words of comfort.

Wang Tianqi was born in poverty, his parents died when he was young, so he became a ranger and went out for a living, but he didn't want to be spotted by his wife as soon as he went out, so he forced him to start a family. The result was chaos soon, and Wang Tianqi's wives were very poor in the local area. He was powerful, so he took his wife and family to Liu Bang, made military exploits in the first battle, and successfully gained Liu Bang's attention. Afterwards, he fought around and went all the way to the position of General Wei, because he fought with Lu Ze , the relationship with the Lu family has always been very delicate, and his position as a court lieutenant was also interfered by Empress Lu, who even made him a Marquis. Although Wang Tianqi was the founding minister, he was made a Marquis relatively later.

Wang Tianqi is cautious and knows how to hide his clumsiness, so whether he is with Liu Bang, Lu Ze, Han Xin, or Empress Lu, he gets along well and rarely offends others. However, his colleagues look down on this kind of character and feel that this person is too much. Smooth and undisciplined.

Wang Tianqi looked at the queen mother in front of him and wanted to speak several times.

But seeing Empress Lu with a tired expression and pale hair, Wang Tianqi didn't say anything about the outside world until the end, but just said goodbye.

Walking out of the Shrine Hall, the servant smiled and led the way for him, but just after taking a few steps, Wang Tianqi suddenly stopped, and stepped towards the left, getting faster and faster, before the servant had time to speak, Wang Tianqi walked out After halfway through the journey, the servants panicked and hurried forward, "Your Majesty?! What are you doing? Your Majesty?! Where are you going?"

"It suddenly occurred to me that I haven't visited His Majesty for a long time."

As Wang Tianqi said, the attendant couldn't stop him at all, but said uneasy: "You can't go from here, only His Majesty can go!!"

Wang Tianqi looked sideways at the attendant, "You can go back and ask the Queen Mother! Go and ask me if I am qualified to go this way!"

The attendant couldn't answer immediately, but Wang Tianqi continued to move forward.

When Wang Tianqi came to Weiyang Palace, the doctors here also widened their eyes, and Wang Tianqi went directly to the target Houde Hall.

"Stop!!!"

Just as the doctor opened his mouth, Wang Tianqi quickly punched that doctor on the bridge of the nose. The doctor covered his face in pain. He grabbed the spear in another doctor's hand, stretched out his leg sideways, and pushed him to the ground. The movements were extremely smooth, and then he rushed towards the Hall of Houde, and the doctors screamed and rushed from all directions, trying to arrest him, Wang Tianqi ran very fast at his age, and the group of doctors couldn't catch him. He came up to him and blocked him from the front, but he couldn't catch him, so he ran to the gate of Houde Hall.

"Your Majesty!! The minister Wang Tianqi came to pay my respects!!"

Within a moment, Lu Lu came out, looking at Wang Tianqi who was surrounded by the doctors in surprise, "How did you get in?"

"I have something important to see Your Majesty!"

"Let him in!!"

Liu Chang's violent voice came from inside.

Wang Tianqi followed Lu Lu in, and hurriedly paid homage to Liu Chang.

At this moment, Liu Chang looked very angry and full of murderous intent. When he looked at Wang Tianqi, Wang Tianqi felt as if he was being targeted by some ferocious beast, and he felt chills all over his body.

"Your Majesty is very capable. At this age, can you still break through the wall?"

"I came here from the Queen Mother."

"Hehe. The prince took great pains to beat the doctor. Was it to plead for Shen Tujia or Chao Cuo?"

"These two should be killed! I didn't come here to intercede for them!"

Lu Lu widened his eyes, but Liu Chang looked at him suspiciously, the anger in his eyes weakened a bit, and he said: "On weekdays, I didn't say much about the battle between Shen Tujia and Chao Cuo, and I endured it many times. But this time, they really went too far, I don’t care if they are false accusations or curses, anyway, they can’t implicate my elder brother!! I will use Chao Cuo and Shen Tujia to teach them a lesson and let the ministers know what What can be done, what can’t be done. I don’t just want to kill the two of them, if anyone is found to have an affair with this matter, I will kill them all!!”

Wang Tianqi nodded, "These two people must be killed."

Liu Chang was even more surprised, "The prince is so lucky to come to me, is it just to agree with me?"

Wang Tianqi shook his head, and he said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I am here to share your worries, not to plead for mercy. A person like Chao Cuo only has fame and nothing else in his heart. For his own ambition, he can do anything. Do it regardless of national conditions, even at the expense of being an enemy of the world, such a person will die in his own hands sooner or later, even if His Majesty does not kill him, he will not end well! As for Shen Tujia, this person is stupid, self-willed, and has no talent , a stubborn character, not flexible, irritable and unscheming, when His Majesty was in a hurry, he didn't want to share his worries for His Majesty, but instead opened his mouth to provoke His Majesty, who will die if he doesn't die?"

"I think it is the most correct action for His Majesty to execute these two people."

"However, if you offend Your Majesty and deceive Your Majesty, are they the only ones who should be killed?"

"Although Chao Cuo is eager for fame, he has followed you for more than ten years, so how could he not know your character? His ambition has not yet been fulfilled, so how could he say such words so easily and ruin his own life? As for Shen Tujia, this time Although people hate Chao Cuo and are violent and ruthless, but he was born in the army, from a soldier to Jiuqing, he is quite convinced by others, and he speaks a lot, so how can he be a person who falsely accuses others?"

"There must be other thieves who are using them to create obstacles for His Majesty, and even want to distort the national policy formulated by His Majesty!! Chao Cuo and Shen Tujia should be killed, and these people should be killed even more!"

Wang Tianqi spoke loudly, Lu Lu was thoughtful, but Liu Chang sneered.

"It turns out that the prince came here to plead for mercy."

"Your Majesty, I'm not asking for mercy. I just feel that instead of rushing to execute these two thieves, I might as well catch the other thieves and execute them together. Cut the weeds and root them out, leaving no one behind."

"So the prince is willing to take the initiative to do this?"

"Your Majesty is here to relieve His Majesty's worries. Please Your Majesty order me to investigate this matter! If not, I am willing to die!"

"Okay, that's what you said, I'll give you five days to investigate clearly, otherwise I'll die with Chao Cuo and the others!!"

With a wave of Liu Chang's hand, Wang Tianqi was let out of here.

After Wang Tianqi left, Lu Lu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the prince is right. It is impossible for Chao Cuo to say such a thing. He is crazy to say this. This is definitely because he has offended too many people. Some people want to eliminate Get rid of him, princes, ministers, there are too many powerful people who are suspected. Shen Tujia must have been used as a knife!"

Liu Chang glanced at Lu Lu, and said disdainfully, "He can see it, so why can't I see it?"

Lu Lu was taken aback, "Then why did you execute Chao Cuo and Shen Tujia?"

"I don't say that. What if the people behind the scenes run away? Isn't the King of Chengyang investigating? However, since Wang Tianqi wants to investigate, that's fine. He is in the open, and Zhang is in the dark. Maybe the result will be found out sooner. No matter who dares to use the second brother as an excuse to do things, I will never forgive it!!!!"

Liu Chang almost gritted his teeth and said these words.

When Wang Tianqi walked out of the palace in an upright manner, all the people waiting outside the palace were stunned.

What's happening here? ?When did he go in?

Luan Bu was the first to react, and hurried forward, grabbing Wang Tianqi's arm, "Prince!!"

"You don't have to worry. Your Majesty asked me to investigate this matter. I will find out the truth. You should go back first."

"But I"

"I only have two days, everyone, don't stop me, go back!"

Soon, Wang Tianqi appeared in the prison. For Shentujia and Chao Cuo, this prison was not a terrible place. They had been in it many times and they were used to it. But this time it was a little different. The punishment is different, this time it seems to be fatal.

Chao Cuo and Shen Tujia were imprisoned in the cell facing each other. During these days, the two of them were swearing and cursing dryly.

With disheveled hair, Chao Cuo insulted Shen Tujia: "You despicable villain, how dare you frame me like this!! I'm a ghost and I won't let you go!!"

"You deserve what you deserve!! If you can kill you and die together, you will not live up to the name of a man!!"

The arrival of Wang Tianqi made the two of them stunned for a moment, neither of them was in a hurry to speak.

Wang Tianqi looked at them and said to the soldiers beside him, "Let Shentu Jia out."

He was about to interrogate alone, but Shentujia was overjoyed, and cursed at Chao Cuo: "Damn you, it's cheap for you to die like this!"

There was a trace of despair in Chao Cuo's eyes, and he shouted: "Your Majesty!! Please tell Your Majesty! Someone is falsely accusing me! I have never said such words!"

Wang Tianqi didn't pay attention to Chao Cuo, and left here with Shen Tujia. When Shen Tujia found out that he was not going to be released, but was interrogated alone, he didn't understand.

"I'm just impeaching Chao Cuo for his crimes. What's my fault?"

"Did you personally hear Chao Cuo say such a thing?"

"I have obtained the letter written by Chao Cuo to his subordinate Zhao Yu, and there are these words in the letter. And someone has said such words to me before."

"Don't worry, take your time, come one by one, why do you have letters?"

"Tian Zhong, a native of Chu State, wanted to assassinate Chao Cuo not long ago. After sneaking into his mansion, he found a letter and brought it out to me."

"He said that he could not kill Chao Cuo, but this letter could help eliminate the thief. After he finished speaking, he angrily committed suicide."

"I have given the letter to His Majesty. The handwriting was written by Chao Cuo. I can recognize his handwriting!"

"When I went to Yushifu to look for Chao Cuo earlier, I heard an official said that Chao Cuo attached great importance to the affairs of the Supreme Emperor."

Wang Tianqi narrowed his eyes immediately, "Chu people, rangers."

"Being able to touch Chao Cuo's handwriting gives us an understanding of him."

Shen Tujia couldn't help but said: "That's what Chao Cuo himself did, not because someone made a false accusation!"

Wang Tianqi glared at him fiercely, and cursed: "You also fought with us, why are you so stupid? Chao Cuo can write such words in a letter? And put it in a place where the ranger can find it? And you know how to ask for it?" Give it to you? A mere ranger, a ranger from Chu, how does he know about your relationship with Chao Cuo?!"

"You have made a knife for others, but you are still obsessed with it?!"

"Do you still have a big man in your heart? Do you know what Chao Cuo is doing?"

"To what extent have the tyrants from all over the world become so powerful? They have become so powerful that they have joined forces with the ministers to murder the three great men! Are you looking forward to the destruction of the great man? Even people like me know that they must stand up and do things. Why are you still talking nonsense here? Woolen cloth?!"

Shentujia was speechless for a moment, his eyes were full of bewilderment.

"Because of you two idiots, deal with this matter well, I'm afraid I have to retire and return home!!"

"Come on, take this fellow back and whip him twenty times! Pass it on to Chao Cuo!!"
