half life slave

Looking at the ground calmly and peacefully, this was the result he could have expected.Shen Hui wouldn't save him for nothing, and would always come in handy at critical times.

The emperor was still hesitant at this moment, and he needed someone to push the flames, so he should be the last straw that broke the camel's back.

He bowed his head and said yes in a soft voice. He bowed down and kowtowed calmly, "If this is the order of His Highness, I will accept the order. But I can only state the truth, and cannot speculate on things that never happened."

The implication is that he will not fabricate facts to frame Shen Che out of nothing.

"State the truth?" Shen Hui raised his eyebrows with a cold expression, "You know exactly what Gu wants, but you still say that? Could it be that you dare to threaten me because you think Gu wants something from you? Just say it, it will happen." After that, what reward do you want?"

Knowing that he misunderstood what he meant, Rong Yu had no choice but to bow his head and bow again, "I will never dare to threaten Your Highness, and I will do my best to be loyal to His Highness's entrustment. However, I can only truthfully state what happened that day, and try my best to persuade the emperor to punish King Qin's behavior." Restraint. The minister will also explain to the emperor that His Highness is benevolent and kind to save the minister from difficulties. Apart from this, the minister can't say anything else. As for the reward that His Highness said, I have never thought about it."

Shen Hui stared at him and laughed out loud, "Now you are attached to Gu, but you don't know what knowledge and practice are? You are just a little servant, and you actually try to act in the way of a gentleman. It doesn't matter! What you say at the moment is high-sounding, but it is not true afterwards. Will you ask for credit and reward from Gu, this kind of trick that you want to capture first, can you think that Gu can't see it?"

There seemed to be a slight sourness in his throat, and Rong Yu took a deep breath, "I dare not call myself a gentleman, but I still remember that a gentleman has nine thoughts, the so-called loyalty in words, respect in things, I dare not forget for a moment. "

He raised his head and looked directly into Shen Hui's eyes, "I am of low status, but I am also fortunate to have read the books of sages, so I admire the way of sages. Your Highness hopes that I can have plans and seek something, so that I can trust me more." However, I feel that the result of going to face the saint is that I will never see the rising sun again. I really don’t know what else I can ask for or plan. I implore your highness to believe what I said, and I will definitely I will try my best to report the events of the day to the emperor in detail."

The slanting eyebrows suddenly frowned, Shen Hui looked deeply at the person kneeling in front of him, such a thin and elegant face, with pure and flawless eyes, calm and gentle, but also shy and shy.

How many times have I drooped my eyelashes in panic under my scorching stare, but now, I dare to look back in such an upright manner, I hate that those eyes are still clear, and even more magnanimous.

Shen Hui fell into silence. This answer was inconsistent with common sense, but it was in line with Rong and his personality.He knew his background. As early as in the inner school, Rong Yu was a quiet student, and his grades were always in the middle and upper reaches.Most people choose to ignore him, and only a few great Confucians who teach can perceive that his thirst for knowledge and the depth of thinking about problems are actually far beyond what he shows.

It is said that he hides clumsiness, but when the opportunity comes, he will retreat from the crowd again, it seems that wanting nothing is his original face.

Just like now, not only does he not ask for prosperity, but he doesn't even mention asking himself to save his life!

He's just a 16-year-old boy, he can't be considered mature and prudent, at most he can only be regarded as keeping his duty, but if he wants to protect himself wisely, why should he still have the courage to die generously when he knows that the road ahead is difficult and dangerous? Is it really just to repay his support? Salvation?

Shen Hui asked himself that he had never met such a person in his life, and after thinking for a long time before speaking, his voice was calm, "I'm so stubborn, it's up to you. You go to see Gao Qian immediately, and he will make proper arrangements for the face-to-face. Chonghua Palace is waiting for your good news, go."

Rong and Ying smiled, bowed three times to Shen Hui, and then got up to go.An hour later, he was already standing outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, waiting for Gao Qian to summon him.

Subconsciously turning his head, he glanced at the setting sun that was about to hide behind many palaces. He guessed that this should be the last time he saw the glow of the sky at sunset.

Sitting in the warm pavilion, the emperor knelt down and kowtowed. Before he bent over, he slightly raised his eyes to look at the supreme being. If it was in the past, he probably would not have done this, but at this moment, he guessed that his time was running out, so he simply It's good to be self-willed once, to satisfy your curiosity.

At a glance, he saw the emaciated face of the emperor. It had only been a few days, and he seemed to have aged more than ten years.

The emperor flipped through the memorials of the courtiers, ignored tolerance, and said after half a cup of tea, "Gao Qian came back to me, you have something about the emperor's eldest son's misbehavior that you want to report, tell the truth."

Rong Yu lowered his head and said as briefly as possible, "Reporting to the emperor, when I was working in the imperial prison, I sent the required scriptures to Princess Qin. I ran into His Highness the King of Qin in Jianfu Palace. His Highness wanted to detain the minister and hinted many times. The important minister was transferred to the Jianfu Palace, but the minister did not dare to accept it. His Highness said bluntly that if the minister is willing to commit himself, he will be given a generous salary. His words are very embarrassing. Fortunately, His Royal Highness Chu visited the Jianfu Palace. Take them away, and Fang envoys will be able to get out of trouble."

He licked his lips, and said again, "Afterwards, I was grateful for the kindness of the King of Chu, but there was nothing I could do to repay him, so I presented His Highness's kindness to the Emperor today. Moreover, the King of Qin was supposed to be an example for the royal family of the country, but he acted so absurdly and benevolently." Virtue, the old minister bowed his head and implored the emperor to control the king of Qin, guide his words and deeds, and correct the ethos of the forbidden court. The above words of the minister are all true, and I hope the emperor will learn from them." After speaking, the muddy head fell to the ground, and he did not raise his head again.

After a long time, the emperor seemed to suppress his anger, and asked, "Did the king of Chu teach you to say this?"

Rong Yu didn't dare to raise his head, hesitated for a moment, and still said something that didn't quite match the facts, "Although I'm humble and light-hearted, I also know how to be a human being and repay my kindness. Therefore, today, I made a good claim to ask to see the emperor, and His Highness knew nothing about this minister's move."

The emperor couldn't help sneering, "A mere slave dares to impeach the prince. I don't believe you have the guts! There must be someone behind you to support you. Maybe it's not the king of Chu, but that person must have promised you benefits. After the winter solstice banquet, I was so dissatisfied with the eldest son of the emperor that I dared to take the risk. You know what I said and did today, even if I believed it, I would not let you go lightly! Peeping at the holy will, what you have done is insulting the reputation of the royal family, you think I will How to deal with it?"

He scolded every word and every word, Rong Yu dug his hands between the gaps between the gold bricks, and gradually felt that the scene in front of him began to become blurred, the previous tension gradually dissipated, and his guess was still fulfilled.

The mind is replaced by a blank, which is probably a sign of imminent death.

Powerless to argue anymore, I could only kowtow, "I'm definitely not trying to frame His Royal Highness King Qin, please the emperor to see clearly. How the emperor wants to deal with the minister, I will bend down and obey."

This statement probably made the emperor even more annoyed. Every word and every word only emphasized that what he said was true, but he did not give any excuses for his accusation of spying.

In addition to the previous report by the internal servant of Jianfu Palace, the emperor also knew in his heart at this moment that Shen Che's daily filth and chaos in the palace was indeed true.

That being the case, of course, it is even more impossible to keep these people who know about it.

Even if the eldest son of the emperor has a bad character and cannot succeed him, the emperor, as a father, must always take care of his reputation and not allow others to criticize him in the future.

Having made up his mind, the emperor no longer looked at the prostrate man, and turned his head to command Gao Qian, "Immediately order someone to take care of him, and no one can see him until I order to deal with it."

Rong Yu was a little surprised, wondering why the emperor didn't kill him on the spot, so maybe he could see the sun tomorrow again, he felt relieved, kowtowed silently, followed Gao Qian and retreated out.

Along the way, Rong Yu was taken with his hands bound to the Beisan Office behind Jingqi Pavilion. This place was deserted all the year round, and there were few people there. Every room was damp and cold. Even though it was winter, there was nothing for heating.

Gao Qian couldn't bear it in his heart, he pushed everyone away, first untied the rope on Rong and his wrist, and said softly, "I will persuade the emperor to save your life, and His Highness will also take care of you, just bear with it for a while, don't be too discouraged .”

Rong Yu knew that he was sincerely helping him, so he quickly bowed and said yes, "Thank you, Mr. Zhangyin, but it is not suitable for His Highness to come out at this time. Please tell Your Highness, if you are lucky enough to live up to your fate, Rong and the meeting will pray day and night for His Highness to get his wish as soon as possible. His Highness Rong Yu's kindness will never be forgotten by Rong Yu."

Gao Qian took a deep look at him, sighed softly, said in a low voice to take care, then turned and left.

Rong Yu stood with his head bowed all the time, until he heard the sound of footsteps going away outside, then he slowly raised his head. At this moment, the room was extremely quiet inside and outside, as if he was the only one left in the world.

There was a beam of cold moonlight shining on the bluestone bricks in the house in front of him, dust flying in the light beams, numerous and disorderly.

He looked at it quietly for a while, and suddenly felt that those light dust particles were very similar to himself, they were all so powerless, dispensable, and would fall to the ground at any time, and no one wanted to remember them anymore.

Slowly walked to the bedside, brushed off the dust, the air in the room was cold, every breath he exhaled could immediately turn into a cloud of white mist, he simply opened his mouth to breathe heavily, in the mist, he gradually felt water ripples in his eyes Rippling, blurred vision.

Wiping the corners of his eyes with his sleeves, he smiled mockingly, and couldn't help but despise this kind of self-pity. Since he had already figured out the result, why bother to hurt himself.

After all, he was still a little afraid of death. He couldn't laugh at his instinctive reaction, and could only rely on his reason to keep reminding him that his life should have ended long ago.

Wrapping himself in a quilt, curled up in a corner of the couch, Rong Yu began to quietly watch the flying dust under the streamer.

In the next few days, every day, the servant of the Supervisor of Rituals came to deliver meals to him. After the little servant opened the door, he drove straight in, put the food on the table with a bang, and then turned around and left without saying a word.

In the beginning, whenever there was a sound at the door, Rong Yu would tighten his heart and stand up abruptly, waiting for the order to kill him from the people outside.After a long time, his anxious heart sank. He even guessed that the emperor had probably forgotten him, so his life would not be in danger for a while, but even if he thought about it, it would be difficult to get out of here again .

Thinking about it this way, it became more and more difficult to distinguish joys and sorrows, and a little boring.

A few times, he tried to ask the waiter who delivered the meal a few words about the outside situation, but every time he only got a dumbfounded response.In the end, he had no choice but to sit in the room.

Fortunately, he has always been quiet, so he doesn't feel too depressed. He just occasionally thinks that if he keeps living in this room, with pens, paper and books by his side, life may be much more pleasant.

After 16 days of fighting like this, at noon on the [-]th day, there were suddenly chaotic footsteps in the courtyard of the North No. [-] Institute.

Rong He listened intently, his heart raised his throat again, he could hear that there were a lot of people who came back, could it be that they were given poisonous wine or white silk, but they were dragged out to beheaded or killed with a stick?

In an instant, he was frightened into a cold sweat by this thought.

The door opened with a creak, and Rong and Muran stood up, forcing themselves to look at the person who came, but the moment their eyes met, there was a sense of surprise and surprise.

He saw Huaifeng!And Shen Hui stood impressively in the courtyard behind Huaifeng.
