Major General Han held a wine glass from the beginning to the end, sipping the wine in the glass carefully, as if there was no one or anything that attracted him more than the wine in the glass.

At this time, a person walked in from the outside, walked directly into the main hall without passing through the communication, and said with cupped hands: "The minister's inner guards command Zigui, and the poisoner has been arrested and brought to justice, and he has been thrown into the dungeon to await punishment; the palace guards I have taken the antidote, and no one has been harmed."

At this time, a guard ran in from outside and said, "Report to the emperor, Jing Zhaoyin begs to see you."

"Xuan."

Soon, a young Jing Zhaoyin in official uniform came in, "According to the wishes of the Holy One, the prisoners in the prison were transferred together, and the place where the water leaked was promptly extinguished. No serious damage was caused, and none of the prisoners escaped."

"Good job." Qing Ming nodded in satisfaction.

Han Tuo was the only one left who hadn't expressed his opinion yet.

Zhu Xun was so shocked by the successive bad news that he almost couldn't stand still.Suddenly he raised his eyes to look at Han Tuo, "Young General Han, don't you still do it? Aren't you always dissatisfied with the new emperor? Haven't you already teamed up with me? Now as long as you do it, we haven't lost yet. At that time, won't you be able to avenge those ten years ago?" He continued to bewitch.

Immediately everyone looked at him.

Old General Han was supposed to be furious, but he was strangely silent tonight, and looked at his grandson, waiting for his explanation.

Only then did Han Tuo put down his wine glass slowly, tilted his head and smiled, "I didn't do anything, it doesn't mean my subordinates didn't do anything, just wait at ease."

Suddenly, the ministers began to whisper.

"What does he mean by that? Is he on the side of the uncle?"

"Young General Han and the new emperor have always been at odds, maybe that's true!"

"But, Old General Han won't allow it..."

"But he didn't refute just now? What's the matter?"

"He didn't move, why did he move?"

……

Han Tuo was unmoved at all.

At the top, Qingming rested his elbows on the armrest and put his hands on his white chin, looking very lazy, with a leisurely smile on his face, his eyes wandering around the people below, as leisurely as looking at the scenery.

Because he didn't make a statement and Han Tuo spoke vaguely, there was a strange silence above the hall.

Mu Fei glanced back and forth between Qing Ming and Han Tuo, noticing that they were both calm and leisurely, and then glanced at Zhu Xun, who was pretending to be calm but actually acted like a frightened bird, turned around, picked up the cup on the table, Smiling, "The winner is already decided~"

At this time, the eunuch who delivered the letter ran in again, knelt on the ground in a hurry, and said, "Report to Your Majesty, the Zhenxi Army Guard joins the army and asks to see you."

"allow!"

After a while, the old guard in military uniform walked in without turning his eyes, knelt respectfully in the center of the hall, and said in a deep voice: "I have ordered [-] soldiers to surround the uncle's mansion with [-] private soldiers in the capital. In a private house in the suburbs, the resisters have been executed on the spot, and the rest disarmed and surrendered, fortunately they did not disgrace their lives.”

"Plop~"

Zhu Xun finally couldn't bear the blow, fell down hard on the ground, tremblingly raised his finger to Han Tuo, then pointed to Qing Ming: "You, you..." At this time, how could he not understand that the discord was only on the surface? Yes, Han Tuo has been Qing Ming's most loyal courtier from beginning to end.

Han Tuo didn't even look at him, got up and knelt down on one knee, facing Qingming, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty trusts me, and I fulfill my mission!"

Qing Ming smiled, "Get up, the five thousand private soldiers will be handed over to you!"

"Thank you, Lord!"

Only then did Qingming pick up the memorial that Zhu Zhixing had presented just now, and looked through it carefully. The ministers didn't understand why, but they didn't dare to talk nonsense.

But if you still can't see the situation clearly, you will be a courtier in vain.

Soon, Qingming put down the memorial, and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Zhu Xun committed rebellion with the intention of rebellion, accepted bribes, and formed a party for personal gain. Now he will be stripped of his title and thrown into prison to be punished. Make the first contribution, Zhu Xun's crime is not as good as that of the nine clans, only the first one will be punished, and the rest of the Zhu clan will think about their mistakes behind closed doors and wait to be punished."

"Thank you, my lord~" Zhu Zhixing fell to his knees on the ground again.

"Come here, take Zhu Xun down."

Two guards walked in and set up Zhu Xun to leave.

Zhu Xun suddenly struggled crazily, "No, no, I'm right, I'm the elder brother of the queen, grand uncle, you can't do this!"

"Ji Yuehuang, you can't do this, I'm your uncle!"

"Father, are you going to abandon me too? Just for the sake of the tribe, are you going to abandon me, your own son? Father~~~"

Zhu Xun shouted all the way and was dragged down.

Zhu Zhixing still knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, I know that the crime of a dog is unforgivable, but after all, it is my son. I ask you to die on his behalf. Please remember that I am old and have served the Great Zhou. , To avoid the pain of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man, please forgive me!"

The voice choked up and made people cry.There were ministers around who couldn't bear to look any further, but no one dared to come forward to intercede, because Zhu Xun's crime should have been a major crime of punishing the nine clans, but now he only punished the first villain, which is already an extrajudicial favor. If so, where does the law lie? !

Qing Ming's smile faded a little, and he looked down at him for a long time.

However, Zhu Zhixing remained prostrate on the ground, without raising his head.

"Come here, send grandpa home!"

Zhu Zhixing raised his head when he heard the sound, with a painful expression on his face, "Your Majesty!"

"Grandpa, please go back!" Qing Ming said in a deep voice without looking at him.

Zhu Zhixing knew that Qingming would not change his words, so he could only leave with the palace servants, his body was bent and decadent, much older than when he entered the hall just now.

Qingming raised his glasses to the envoys of the Rong nationality and Mu Fei with a smile that was so faint that it was almost invisible, and said: "I made the two envoys laugh, I will do it first, and I apologize!" After finishing speaking, pour the wine in the glass He drank it all down, "I'm not feeling well, so I'll excuse you first, the two of you can do whatever you want."

The two envoys readily agreed.

Qingming left Chengqian Hall.

As soon as he walked out of the hall, a maid came running towards her, and she knelt down on the ground in a panic, her voice was urgent: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager heard about tonight's incident from somewhere, and said she wanted to see you, but the guards couldn't stop her!" Already!"

Qingming bypassed him expressionlessly, and walked towards Ciyan Palace.

Before he reached the gate of the hall, he heard Zhu's shouting from a distance: "I want to see Ji Yuehuang, call Ji Yuehuang to me! I want to ask him, what is he thinking, that he wants to attack his own uncle?" ? Does he still have affection, does he still have my mother in his eyes?!..."

Qingming paused, and suddenly didn't want to face his biological mother.

He had known for a long time that when he did all this, his mother would no longer be his mother.

He doesn't regret the choice he made back then, and he won't regret it now, because if it wasn't for him, everyone in the Zhu family would have died, including the queen mother.

He thought that the queen mother should be able to understand, but he didn't want to explain now, nor did he want to face her censure...

He turned around suddenly, and still walked towards the emperor's bedroom, "Ask someone to cook a bowl of soothing soup for the Queen Mother, and I will come back when the Queen Mother calms down."

"Yes." Dong Gui took the lead.

Half an hour later, Han Tuo was finally able to leave the Chengqian Hall, and rushed back to the Han Mansion, before he even had time to change his clothes, he flew away from the Han Mansion and headed for the Emperor's Sleeping Hall.

The emperor's bedroom hall was quiet, except for the lanterns hanging in the corridor outside the hall, there was no light in the hall.

Han Tuo looked around, and with a flash, he jumped in through the window.

He closed the window again with his backhand, looked around the unpopular hall, hesitated for a while, walked towards the inner room, stretched out his hand to push on the wall, and walked in.

Still mist filled the air, and the night pearls on the wall shone with soft light.

He took two steps forward and suddenly felt that he had stepped on something. He stopped for a moment and looked down at the ground. The white dragon robe embroidered with silver dragons was casually thrown on the ground. Not far away, a jade crown was placed on the stone table.

Pick up the dragon robe, put it on the low warm jade couch, then walk to the edge of the hot spring pool, squat down | body, looking at a piece of calm water.

"Wow~"

Qingming emerged from the water, brushed away the wet hair, wiped off the water on his face, opened his eyes, saw Han Tuo, and smiled slightly, "You're here."

"I wanted to comfort you, but it doesn't seem necessary." Han Tuo looked at his expression carefully and smiled.

"The dinner party ended soon." Qing Ming said, walking towards the pool.

"Do you think that such a big event happened tonight, who else would eat and drink in peace? Besides, the Lord is gone, so what is there to celebrate!" Han Tuo stretched out a hand and handed it over.

Qingming took his hand and walked out of the hot spring pool.

The white singlet was tightly fitted to Qingming's perfect and strong body, half-covered and half-hidden, even more seductive than being naked|exposed.

Han Tuo's throat tightened, and he couldn't help swallowing.

Qingming heard it, and gave him a playful smile: "What? General Han can't wait any longer?"

Han Tuo raised his forehead, "Please, I didn't come here to do that kind of thing." As he spoke, he walked aside and picked up his robe, then walked back and put it on Qing Ming's body, covering it almost made him lose With a rational body, he said in a deep voice: "Besides, I'm not ready yet."

Qing Ming raised his eyebrows with a half-smile, "Ready?"

Han Tuo smiled and nodded affirmatively: "Yes, prepare."

"Okay then, let's talk about it when you're ready." After Qing Ming finished speaking, he was about to go out, but suddenly his arms tightened, and when he recovered, he was already hugged by Han Tuo.

"Are you leaving now? I haven't kissed you today." After speaking, as usual, she gave her a fiery｜hot｜｜long kiss.

Qingming's eyes flickered, and finally he seemed to be exhausted. He closed his eyes, raised his arms slightly, and put them around his waist, allowing himself to be immersed in his tenderness.

In the early winter of the 23rd year of Emperor Wu, the uncle Zhu Xun formed a party for private interests, took bribes, and attempted to force the palace to rebel. , I hereby exonerate the crimes of irrelevant persons, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped.

All the properties of Zhu's family were confiscated to fill the treasury; Zhu's family was exempted from the gift of title, expelled from the imperial capital, and ordered not to enter Beijing within three generations, and not to be an official within five generations.

On the day Zhu Xun asked to be executed, former Prime Minister Zhu Zhixing committed suicide in his room.

Empress Dowager Zhu invited her to move into the ancestral mausoleum of the Great Zhou Dynasty, chanting scriptures and chanting Buddha, praying for the Great Zhou Dynasty, regardless of world affairs.

Since then, the Zhu family has ceased to be prosperous, disappeared, and disappeared.
