Remembrance Hibiscus GL

Wei Lun was caught off guard, let go of the emperor, and propped his hands on the ground: "Slave..."

Zong Xu grabbed his collar with one hand, glared at him angrily, and squeezed out a few words through his teeth: "You just said that the queen mother is no longer here, what do you mean? Do you want to murder the queen mother? How old are you?" guts!"

As soon as Wei Lun gritted his teeth, he had already reached this point, so he had no choice but to go all out: "Your Majesty, this servant respects the empress dowager's heart just as much as he respects the emperor, but although this servant is stupid and stubborn, since he serves by the emperor's side, I only know that I am wholeheartedly planning for the emperor, and the loyalty of this slave is a lesson from heaven and earth." Having said this, his voice was already choked up: "The general has no eyes on the emperor, aggressive, slave... The slave sees the emperor every day. I am not happy, my heart is like being stabbed by a knife, it is uncomfortable! If the emperor is angry with this servant, or orders this servant to be killed, or binds this servant to the Queen Mother, so that this servant will die under torture, this servant is willing to take care of the emperor's filial piety , and will never implicate the emperor in the slightest."

Seeing him exchanging tears and tears, Zong Xu tried his best not to cry out. His appearance was really pitiful. He felt sour, and slowly loosened his collar. After a long time, he said in a low voice: "Although I am filial to my mother, I also don't want to be foolish and filial."

Wei Lun was overjoyed, and said excitedly: "This servant has long known that the emperor is wise and wise, so he will definitely understand the painstaking efforts of this servant."

Zong Xu looked complicated, and circled around him, clenched his fists tightly: "But I can't... I can't do anything, I don't even dare to think about anything." His throat was tense Drying with fear, he was stunned for a while, with a look of confusion and loss on his face, as if recalling something: "When I was young and had no one to rely on, I was fortunate to be nurtured and taught by my mother. She is not only my mother, She is also my first mentor, without her, I would not be where I am today."

Wei Lun was full of excitement, and as his words quickly cooled down, he reluctantly said: "The emperor's filial piety to the queen mother is enough to move the heavens and the earth, but..."

Zong Xu was afraid that he would say something else, so he stepped forward and said: "My mother is a sensible person, I hope she will figure it out one day, put the court situation first, and don't condone the tyranny of foreign relatives—Xiao Weizi, remember Let's pretend that our conversation today has never happened, I did this to save your life."

"But..." Wei Lun felt unwilling, seeing the emperor gave him a hard look, he immediately changed his words: "I know, I also hope that the queen mother will take care of the mother and child, and think more of the emperor."

Zong Xu could tell that there was something in his words, but when he thought of his mother's cold face, he was really discouraged.He was full of depression and had nowhere to vent, and he didn't want to continue talking with Wei Lun, so he said angrily: "Go out first, I'm going to read a book."

Not long after Huo Mu came back, he began to cultivate cronies in the court and cut off dissidents. As for his domineering and domineering behavior in the court, it was well known inside and outside the capital. In the deep palace, it is inevitable that they have heard about it, and they are deeply worried about Binglun and Zongxu.

During the past two days, no one came from Chongde Palace and Changle Palace. This was so unusual that Lian Zhen couldn't sit still, so she called Tong Jie and said, "Go to Chongde Palace and have a look. Whatever Mr. Wang is doing, just say what I say, tell him to come to Xiefang Palace, I have something to ask him, remember, don't disturb anyone."

Tong Jie was extremely clever, so he hurriedly agreed to go.Lian Zhen was reading a book while waiting for the news, and no one came back for a long time, just because she was restless, Yizhen suddenly came in and said: "Master, sister Lianxu who is beside Master Rui is outside, and she said she has something urgent to see Master."

Lianzhen was slightly surprised, Su Yun had been avoiding her recently, so why did she suddenly send someone here?He said casually, "Did she say something?"

Yizhen said: "It is said that Master Rui is ill again."

Having said that, Lian Zhen felt relieved. She now fully understands that Su Yun's so-called sickness is nothing more than an excuse to meet Li Mao. She has no heart for the matter between them now. Just worry about it, anyway, it suits Su Yun's wishes.Lian really wanted to come here, and said indifferently: "I see, you let her go back first, and I will go there when I have time."

Baozhen and Lianxu had a very good friendship, so she couldn't help but said: "Master, since you said it's urgent, why don't you go out and ask about the situation?"

Lian was really absent-minded, she nodded, and Baozhen went out with Yizhen.After a while, Tong Jie finally came back: "Master, Manager Wang is here."

Lian Zhen cheered up: "Please!"

Wang Youxing entered the inner room, saluted respectfully, Lian Zhen retreated from the waiters and said with a smile: "Boss Wang, please drink tea."

Wang Youxing was flattered: "Thank you, master."

Lian Zhen also picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly. Fang said softly: "I called you here for no other reason. Did something happen to the Queen Mother and the Emperor? I always feel that there is something wrong in the past two days. Something is wrong."

A few years ago, Wang Youxing got a hint from Gao Xian that no matter what, as long as Concubine Chen wanted to know, she had to tell the truth, and he had always done the same.Hearing her question, he didn't dare to go around the corner, but it was related to the government, so he couldn't help but be a little cautious: "Master Mingjian, something happened in the court these two days, which caused some troubles, and the queen mother and the emperor are worrying about it."

Lian Zhen frowned and said, "What's the matter?"

Wang Youxing hesitated slightly: "The general went out to hunt in the city yesterday, and when he came back, he ran into Guo Hulin and Wang Xiao, two of Commander Chai's subordinates, and suddenly became angry, and ordered them to be arrested and thrown into the prison of the Ministry of Justice."

Lianzhen had heard Zongxu mention Guo Hulin and Wang Xiao several times. They were both city gate captains and Chai Biao's right-hand men. Once, Chai Biao, as the tutor of Zongxu who practiced riding and archery, specially played a performance to the Queen Mother. He said that Guo Hulin's riding skills were exquisite, and Wang Xiao's arrows were flawless, and he was worthy of practicing with the emperor, so the two were also allowed to enter the palace.Now hearing that they were arrested, Lian really couldn't help but turn pale: "There must be a reason for arresting people, I didn't say what it was for?"

"It seems to say that their words are disrespectful, and the subordinates offend the superiors. The details are not clear to the servant."

Lian Zhen asked: "Then what happened later?"

Wang Youxing said: "Commander Chai knew the news, so he rushed into the palace to meet the queen mother and the emperor, and interceded for them both. Unexpectedly, the general also entered the palace afterward, demanding that the emperor order them to be dismissed and punished severely. In the end, the Empress Dowager spoke up, saying that it was getting late and let them go back separately, shelving this matter for the time being, and handing it over to the cabinet ministers for discussion the next day."

Lian really knew the whole story, she felt relieved, but she also felt another kind of worry, saying: "I see, you go back for now, if there is a result..." At this point, she fell silent.

Wang Youxing hurriedly said: "If this matter has a result, the servant will come and inform the master in person."

Lian Zhen said: "Well, does Manager Gao know that you are coming?"

"knew."

"He is the only one who is capable of being around the queen mother, so it's not enough. You should go back after delaying for a long time."

Wang Youxing knelt down and kowtowed: "Yes, this servant will leave now."

Baozhen waited outside and waited for Wang Youxing to leave before entering the room. Seeing Lianzhen sitting there in a daze, she called softly, "Master."

Lian Zhen raised her head, Bao Zhen said: "I just asked Lian Xu and sent her away. According to her, Master Rui's illness this time is not trivial."

"What is no small matter?" Lian Zhen glanced at her, her tone relaxed and ordinary: "She is usually delicate and suffers from minor ailments and pains, and there is nothing to make a fuss about. I asked Imperial Physician Li to take a look, but she just took a few doses of medicine. "

Baozhen said: "That's the problem. Master Rui has been lying in bed for a few days, and the water and rice haven't been eaten yet, but he is not allowed to call the imperial doctor, and he is not even allowed to tell other people. Now he is no longer human. Besides, Li The Imperial Physician has already taken a long vacation because of her father's serious illness, so she can't see her right now."

Lian was really surprised: "What did you say?"

Because he had just finished reciting the Buddhist scriptures, there was a scent of sandalwood in the hall. Binglun head leaned gently on the back of the chair, his phoenix eyes were slightly closed, and his expression was calm and indifferent, making it impossible to capture a trace of emotion.

Zong Xu put his hands on his knees, and continued: "Guo Hulin and Wang Xiao have been banned in and out of the palace many times, and the queen mother also praised them for their loyalty. How could they be disrespectful to their ancestors for no reason? There must be a misunderstanding."

"Saints will make mistakes, let alone them? I said yesterday that it will be handled by the cabinet. The emperor is not yet in charge of the government. It is not appropriate to meddle too much in government affairs. It is the right way to study with the Tai Tuo every day."

Zong Xu felt blocked in his heart, but he still didn't give up: "Although Guo Hulin and Wang Xiao are not famous as grand masters, they have accompanied me for several years and taught me many skills without reservation. In my heart, they are no different from masters. , They were thrown into prison yesterday, and they have already learned their lesson, and they begged the queen mother to look at her children and ministers, to let them go, and not to impose further punishment..."

Binglun opened his eyes and glanced at him, Zong Xu swallowed the next words abruptly.Binglun said: "The emperor values ​​love and righteousness, and the queen mother is very pleased about this, but the mother also believes that the cabinet will handle this matter fairly, so the emperor does not need to worry too much about it."

Zong Xu opened his mouth, and was about to say something, but Gao Xian came in and said: "Queen Mother, Director Tan is out to see you."

Tan Ying stepped into the palace, greeted the queen mother and the emperor respectively, and said: "I just heard some news." Wei Yi hesitated, and said in a low voice: "Guo Hulin and Wang Xiao have been executed by beheading."

"What!" Zong Xu cried out, and stood up from the chair, his face full of shock and disbelief.

The anger in Binglun's eyes flashed away, but his voice remained calm: "When did it happen?"

"Early this morning, the Ministry of Criminal Justice sentenced the case, and they were dragged to Caishikou and beheaded for public display."

Zong Xu was angry, scared, and sad at the same time. His body suddenly became cold and hot, and his expression changed. After a long time, he choked out a sentence: "How can you kill me because of such a trivial matter?" A close minister?"

Tan Ying couldn't bear to look at him, she lowered her head, pretending that she didn't hear, Binglun kept twirling the Buddhist beads in her hand, and after a long time, she slowly said: "The state has state laws, and the family has family rules. Since they have committed a crime, they should naturally be punished accordingly." discipline."

Zong Xu looked at her, his eyes filled with grief and helplessness: "Queen Mother, you said that this matter should be decided by the cabinet."

Bing Lun said: "The general is loyal to defend the country and has made outstanding achievements. For officials of the rank of Chengmenwei, he has the right to kill first and then play."

Zong Xu had nothing to say, and he didn't want to say any more. His mind was filled with the scenes of riding horses and archery with Guo Wang in the past. Thinking that he would never see him again, he couldn't help crying. He hated Huo Mu so much in his heart, and wished he could hold a sword right away. Killed him.

Binglun said: "As an emperor, how can you shed tears so easily, have you forgotten what I taught you in the past?"

Gao Xian had already brought a handkerchief and handed it to Zong Xu with both hands, Zong Xu took it and wiped away his tears silently, Zong Xu took it and wiped away his tears silently, still choked up: "My son... The son knew he was wrong."

Binglun was hard-hearted, and said softly: "Come here, the emperor is tired, it's best to send him back to Changle Palace to rest."

Supported by Gao Xian, Zong Xu walked a few steps slowly, then turned around, but saw that the mother had lowered her head, and had already started to read the memorial, without even looking at herself, all kinds of emotions in her heart were intertwined, extremely uncomfortable, subconsciously He bit his lips tightly, quickened his pace, and followed Gao Xian out.
