Loyalty Hou Tiansheng rebellious

When the wounds on his body were almost healed, Chen Hen went to the prison in Dali Temple.

Li Tan was locked in the innermost cell.When Chen Hen came, he was leaning against the corner and lost in thought.

It was night, and the moonlight came in through the small window and shone on Li Tan.His hands and feet were tied with long shackles, and he rolled the iron chains into a ball and held them in his arms.

The moonlight is as cold as iron.

The brocade boots with cloud patterns stepped on the straw that paved the ground.There is no sunlight all year round, the straw is moldy, and the musty smell seems to come from hell.

Chen Hen gathered up his clothes, squatted down in front of him, and put the sword he was carrying on the ground: "Li Tan."

Li Tan's eyelashes moved slightly, but he didn't open his eyes to look at him.

Chen Hen lowered his head, thought for a while, and said again: "You are so stupid."

"You..." Li Tan got angry, straightened up and opened his eyes to look at him, but when he opened his eyes, he saw that he was smiling wantonly, and he couldn't utter a single word of scolding him.

"Look at the hemp rope on the beam."

A rotten hemp rope was hung on the beam of the sky prison. The hemp rope was as thick as two fingers, and it still showed signs of being eaten by mice.

Li Tan said quietly: "You don't need to tell me, I know. It was used by Li Jin to commit suicide."

Li Jin was the former crown prince and Li Yan's eldest brother. After an accident a few years ago, he committed suicide in this prison. Princess Zhaoyang went to the northwest, and Li Yan went to Lingnan.

"I don't know if this rope is still strong after all these years." Chen Hen stood up with his hands propped up, walked to the bottom of the hemp rope, and pulled the rope off as soon as he raised his hand.

Raised a cloud of dust on the beam.

He continued to himself: "At that time, the eldest son of Shen Yushi's mansion brought the emperor to collect the prince's body and bury it."

On the second day after the crown prince was buried, Shen Yushi's mansion was confiscated.

On the day when Li Jin's body was collected, Young Master Shen wore a white dress, Shen's residence was raided, and when Young Master Shen was taken away, he didn't even have time to change the clothes.

Winners and losers.In fact, Li Tan doesn't care about these things, he, Li Tan, can afford it and let it go.

Only Chen Hen said again: "Now that you are dead, do you think, will someone collect your body?"

Li Tan smiled self-deprecatingly: "It can't be so miserable."

Chen Hen sat down cross-legged in front of him, pulled the hemp rope in his hand, and said to himself: "It's really strong."

Li Tan stretched his neck and said coldly: "If you want to do it, hurry up."

"I've changed my mind. I'm going to take a blunt saw and slowly saw your neck. When I saw half of your neck, I will leave half of your neck and make you a crooked neck." Chen Hen really turned his head when he said this. Head, and told the jailer standing outside the door to ask for a saw.

Li Tan's face changed, and he cursed secretly: "Crazy."

"As the old saying goes, murder kills one's heart." Chen Hen thought for a while, stared at him for a while, and suddenly said seriously, "From now on, there will be no Chen Mansion, only my Loyalty Marquis Mansion."

Without the Chen Mansion, there is no Chen Wen.

Li Tan finally got angry: "You..."

"Oh, the Chen family is—" Chen Hen shook his head with a smile and sighed, "The family is full of loyalty and will die for the king."

"Shut up!"

Li Tan suddenly jumped forward, and Chen Hen fell back, his hands resting on the ground.

The iron chain shackles fastened to the wall rattled, and after rushing forward for a certain distance, Li Tan was restrained to death, no matter how hard he struggled, it was futile.

Chen Hen watched him thumping, and suddenly remembered something: "Hey, you used to say that I was stupid to say that I would die for Li Yan, but now you are not dead yet, Chen Wen will die for you, so what is he?"

"He really treats you well."

"I know." Chen Hen smiled, not to mention that every time Li Tan made things difficult for him, Chen Wen arrived in time, even the time he stabbed himself in the Hall of Yihe, he thought that there would be no one except Chen Wen. Someone else bandaged his wound.

Li Tan spat: "You know what a fart."

"Okay." Chen Hen didn't care, "Then I know what the hell."

"You..." This was the third time Li Tan was speechless. He slowed down and said with a sneer, "At that time Li Yan was in Lingnan, and he was communicating with the general soldier in Hedong. If it weren't for him, you would think that It's so easy to pass? Besides, you have to thank Li Yan for being able to go to Lingnan. Sometimes I don't understand, just because of your mother's words, how can you deserve him to treat you like this?"

The sky was cloudy, and the moon was covered by dark clouds.

Chen Hen's eyes flashed, and he stood up with his hands on the ground, leaned over to look at him, stretched out his hand and patted his face: "Do you know where I stabbed that knife in the Hall of Harmony?"

Before Li Tan could speak, Chen Hen pointed his index finger two inches away from his heart: "Prick here. It won't hurt at all."

Li Tan lowered his head and looked at where his finger was pointing.

Before leaving, Chen Hen lowered his eyes and said softly: "I have been with my elder brother for more than ten years, you—"

Chen Hen frowned, and stuck out his tongue at him: "You know nothing."

Coming out of the sky prison, you have to walk through a long corridor.Bandit Shi and an old jailer who led the way were waiting in front of the porch with a lantern.

Chen Hen quickened his pace and left, as if he was not willing to stay here any longer.

It wasn't until he was about to leave the main gate of Dali Temple and go to the street that Chen Hen seemed to wake up suddenly. He clenched a fist with one hand and smashed it into the palm of the other: "Oh no, no, the saber fell inside."

The sky prison is not like other prison cells, it is a separate room, or it is completely sealed.

The jailer opened the cell door again, only to see a long sword stuck in Li Tan's chest, and the long sword passed through his body, dripping with blood.

When the old jailer saw this scene, he thought that he was not good at guarding him, and that he must be a death penalty, so he trembled like a sieve.

Chen Hen stretched out his hand to support him, and said: "That is the long sword I dropped, and I will bear the responsibility for my crime." He winked at Bandit Shi: "Go and have a look."

Bandit Shi stepped forward, stretched out his fingers to detect Li Tan's breath, touched his neck, and said back, "Master Hou, he is dead."

"Send someone to tell the official in charge of the case, man, throw him to a mass grave outside the city." Chen Hen turned his head to comfort the jailer again, "Don't worry, I'll tell the emperor about it."

The jailer only said: "Where is the little one..."

Chen Hen said firmly: "If the superiors want to ask, you should tell the truth. You are right, I was the one who made the mistake." Then he turned to Bandit Shi and said: "The old man was frightened, help him down and have a rest."

Bandit Shi helped the jailer go down, leaving Chen Hen alone, he walked out of the prison slowly, and walked slowly through the long dark corridor.

When he came out, the clouds opened and the moon was bright.

The day was over, Chen Hen stretched his waist, and he was about to sigh with emotion, "The cutting is constant, and the order is still chaotic." Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a person standing under the banner of the Dali Temple nearby, looking at him.

Chen Hen was still a little guilty of making some small moves just now, but since Li Yan became the emperor, he has been imposing.

When Chen Hen saw him, he would kneel before him unconsciously: "My lord."

"come here."

This is the meaning of not wanting him to kneel, Chen Hen patted his sleeves, leaned forward and bowed to him: "My lord."

Li Yan said: "What are you doing here?"

"Chen..." Chen Hen thought for a while, then simply knelt down and told all the things just now.

Li Yan stared at him, and only asked: "Did you drop your sword?"

In fact, anyone who is familiar with Chen Hen knows that he doesn't wear a sword at all.Chen Hen lowered his head, thinking that this time he was doomed.If it is a memorial, he can tell a flower, but if he tells it face to face, he is too shallow to deceive Li Yan.

After a long silence, Li Yan said again: "You just need to talk."

Chen Hen nodded slightly, and replied, "Yes."

"Get up."

It was late at night, and the two walked side by side on the street.

Because of the incident just now, Chen Hen didn't dare to speak, but just lowered his head and looked at the road.Li Yan glanced at him from time to time, but he also pretended not to see.

After walking for a while, Chen Hen suddenly said in shock: "Too bad, the horse is still tied in front of the gate of Dali Temple."

Li Yan only said: "Tell Bandit Jian to take my horse back together."

Chen Hen responded and lowered his head again.He said how did Li Yan know that he was in Dali Temple, it turned out that he knew people by looking at horses.Li Yan is also true, he does not ride a good horse, but wants to walk this distance with him.

Li Yan said: "This morning, the Ministry of Industry said that the Zhongyihou Mansion has been repaired, so I went for a walk."

Chen Hen said flatteringly: "The emperor is very elegant."

Li Yan glanced at him: "Speak seriously."

"Hey." Chen Hen quietly turned his head to look at him, and only gently called out a title he hadn't called for a long time, "Master."

"what happened?"

He asked this question, but Chen Hen didn't answer.

Li Yan reached out his hand from his sleeve, wanted to hold his hand, and went around for a while, but finally grabbed the sleeve again. He said: "You can learn to...be a favorite minister anytime."

"Ok?"

"You can do whatever you want."

"The emperor wants to say—" Chen Hen folded his arms, leaned forward leaning against him, "Pride in favor?"

Li Yan clenched his fist with one hand and coughed twice against his lips: "Probably that's what it means."

"Then can I be like He Shen?" Chen Hen thought for a while, then said, "Have you ever told the emperor the story of He Shen?"

Li Yan just nodded, and then said: "You said it, yes. You won't do anything excessive."

"How does the emperor know?" Chen Hen pointed at himself with his thumb, "According to the emperor's oral order just now, this minister is the one who wants to be a favorite."

"What do you want, I will give it to you."

Chen Hen looked up at him with a smile, and only wondered where he learned it, and why he still became a favorite.

In the past, he said that Li Tan and Chen Wen were very happy with each other, and now it's his turn.

He was joking, but in fact he was secretly feeling a little better.

The emperor's favor made him dizzy.

Chen Hen leaned against him in a more comfortable position, like a piece of brown sugar.

Li Yan said: "Don't lean on me like this, I was pushed against the wall by you."

When Chen Hen heard the words, he immediately straightened up and walked forward by himself.

Li Yan grabbed his sleeve, and secretly circled it twice: "Hey, come on, come on."

Chen Hen waved his hand and said, "Don't rely on it, you're like a fool."

He said so, but Li Yan never let go of his sleeves.

Later, Chen Hen said casually: "The emperor is the emperor now, why do you still leave the palace alone like before?"

"No problem, if I can't even visit Chang'an City, what kind of emperor is I?"

"Yes, yes, my law and order is very good."

Li Yan said again: "Recently, I often think about whether it is right or wrong for soldiers to enter Chang'an?"

"I can't tell you clearly. This kind of thing has its own historical records to prove it, and later generations will comment."

Li Yan was silent, and this answer was indeed not very good.Chen Hen looked at the sky and thought for a while, then said: "Why did the emperor come to Chang'an?"

"In order to reverse the case for the eldest brother of the emperor, and to bring the elder sister back from the northwest..."

The sky was as dark as splashed ink, and Chen Hen didn't know that Li Yan's burning eyes were on him.

With lowered eyes and cupped hands, he said reverently, "My emperor should be Yao and Shun."

The author has something to say: Li Yan: "You also learn to be a favorite at any time."

Chen Hen: "Huh? It's okay to do something like He Shen's?"

Li Yan: "No, you are a courtier of Cheng Chong."
