Qu clear as promised

The highly respected prince said solemnly: "The eldest princess grew up in the palace, and this king also came out of this palace. To be honest, I lived longer than the princess for more than a year and a half. Besides, the princess has been married thousands of miles away. There are palace rules, gods and Buddhas have ways, so is it possible that the princess wants to go against the way of heaven and go against the sky?"

This means that the water thrown by the daughter after marriage is not your turn to talk about the affairs in the palace. If you protect Zhu Zhiyi, you will be treasonous.

Concubine Qin is aggressive: "Your majesty, the queen does not respect gods and Buddhas and is not filial to the ancestors. She regards the fortunes of the ancestors as nothing. Her heart can be punished. If she is not severely punished, it will not be enough to appease the wrath of the ghost officials. To appease the late emperor's heart, I hope the emperor will follow Qin Tianjian." The words of the chief minister, and deprive the queen of the power to control the palace, so as to calm the worries of the clan and royal relatives."

The eldest princess looked angry: "I don't agree—"

The queen mother laughed strangely: "You don't agree? Today is a private matter of the royal family. What is the identity and position of the princess to protect the selfish, disrespectful and unfilial person in this ancestor? The late emperor regarded you as the jewel in his palm, and this is how you repay him?" She Cursing the corners of his mouth, he turned his waist and walked in front of Liang Hui, whose face was sinking like water, exhaling like blue: "Your Majesty, do you want to protect this unworthy descendant? Such a fearless person can still rule the Six Palaces, sitting behind him The emperor is not afraid of violating the way of heaven, angering the officials, and losing the heart of the clan?"

Since it was a blatant threat, warning Liang Hui that if Zhu Zhiyi was not severely punished, he would lose the hearts of the people and it would be difficult to convince the public.

Suddenly, she moved closer to Liang Hui's ear and whispered something that only the two of them could hear. Zhu Zhiyi saw Liang Hui's jaw clenched tightly.

Seeing that they were aggressive and Liang Hui was on the verge of riding a tiger, Zhu Zhiyi simply took the initiative to plead guilty and accept the punishment: "I——"

"Is that enough?" Liang Hui, who was silent from beginning to end, turned around, his sharp and dark eyes slowly scanning every face of His Highness.

These foul-smelling, greedy and cold-blooded faces opened their bloody mouths to him and Hua's mother and concubine in the same way back then, and today's Zhu Zhiyi is just another sacrifice.

Back then he was young and unable to protect his mother and concubine, but now it is not what it used to be.

The people below were ready to move: "If the emperor can't make a fair decision, he will be ashamed to face his ancestors."

"Prince Fu seconded the proposal,"

"King Bei agrees."

"Master Gulian seconded the proposal."

Seeing that Liang Hui's complexion became more and more gloomy, Zhu Zhiyi hurriedly took a step forward, cupped his hands and pleaded guilty, loudly saying: "I Zhu Zhiyi is not strict in controlling the palace and violates the power of heaven. I am willing to be punished, but it is up to the emperor to deal with it."

Liang Hui didn't look at him, but stared at the emperor's relatives word by word and said: "It's the world's foolish theory that the evening face is different. The first emperor didn't like it, but I like it."

The crowd looked surprised.

However, Liang Hui raised the corners of his mouth as if he had succeeded, and the raised brows had a kind of grotesque evil and prey under the incense and red candles: "They all want to deal with the queen, right? Huh?"

A chill rose up the spine of the person he glanced at.

Liang Hui put his hands behind his back and swayed slowly in front of every golden statue of gods and Buddhas. The holy light formed a majestic background behind him, making him even more dark and unpredictable: "All of you are great long-term residents in this palace. Guest, I have not lived here for a few days, but I also know that the envoys who offer incense, offer tea, and wipe the spirit cards to gods, Buddhas and ancestors are envoys of the sacrificial ceremony. Youshi is the messenger who communicates twice in the sacrificial ceremony, and is a highly respected role in folklore.

Liang Hui suddenly stopped smiling, and when he said that he had a cold face, he was cold. When his face was expressionless, he looked particularly gloomy and majestic, and his words resounded loudly: "Your queen is busy and busy for the Ghost Festival, and I do everything myself. I strive to be perfect. Copying tea scriptures and preparing incense, in order to show sincerity, even the emperor and empress of this temple have wiped it with their own hands!" Liang Hui directly reached into the stove and grabbed the ashes of the incense as if he was in a hysterical attack. Nian, shook his hands and raised his head, and said very coldly: "You guys who are just going through the motions, what qualifications do you have to say that the queen is disrespectful and dishonest? I think you are just sitting back and enjoying the success, borrowing flowers and offering Buddhas, and nothing happens, just for fear that the world will not be chaotic!!"

The entire clan was shocked by his bastard temper, as if it was the first time they saw such a disrespectful emperor who had no reverence for gods and Buddhas.

Only Zhu Zhiyi was not afraid, and raised his head to look at the majestic emperor in the hall...Liang Hui actually knew?

He thought they couldn't see each other these days, Liang Hui had no time to talk to him, and he wouldn't know what he was busy with day and night.

The old prince was trembling with anger from Liang Hui: "According to your Majesty, the queen is not wrong at all? Should I be grateful for such a mistake?"

Liang Huili spoke outrightly and righteously: "Whoever enjoys the benefits should be grateful!"

"I am not partial to the empress. It is the empress who is not so wrong. The punishment must be appropriate. The empress is not strict, falsely trusting others, and made a mistake in the approval. He was punished to copy the scriptures in the palace and think about it for half a month. Depend on--"

The Empress Dowager's eyes were fixed on Liang Hui's lips.

Liang Hui hooked his lips, and spit out a few words quietly: "Shen Junyi will take over temporarily."

The empress dowager's long fingernails sank into her palms, and she said angrily: "Aren't you afraid to blame the emperor for being so blatantly selfish? Your majesty, you used to rule the palace in the right way, and you kept saying that you didn't follow the rules. Why, now it's your turn to be strict with others. More lenient than self-discipline? Don’t you think it’s ridiculous? Does that mean that in the future, everyone will be able to surpass the patriarchal system and do whatever they want?”

As soon as Zhu Zhiyi bowed his hand, Liang Hui immediately pressed down again, standing in front of him, completely blocking the Queen Mother from staring at him: "Everything the Queen has done is obvious to all, the ancestor Shengming, will not blame pure filial piety People, gods and Buddhas have spirits, and they will not make things difficult for unintentional mistakes. The queen mother should not measure the gods' magnanimity by herself."

"you--"

"The Empress Dowager said that she should not be stricter with others than herself, that's good," Liang Hui didn't let her finish, he took Zhu Zhiyi's hand, raised it up, and showed it openly, "Emperor and empress are of the same body, I am also responsible for the Queen's dereliction of duty, and I will accompany the Queen to be punished and reflect on her mistakes, and copy the scriptures."

Everyone's heart skipped a beat. They never expected the emperor to come up with such a trick. No matter how upset they were, they couldn't let the emperor really scoop out a bowl of heart blood with the same punishment.

Zhu Zhiyi also opened his eyes slightly to look at him. He wanted to hold him back, but Liang Hui let go of his hand gently.

This matter was lifted up by Liang Hui and put down lightly. Everyone was depressed, but they never thought that Liang Hui would still refuse to give up. You should also set an example. You keep saying that the Queen is not respectful or filial, but you yourself are in the process of offering sacrifices, disregarding the heavenly family, speaking indifferently, disturbing the gods and Buddhas, and disturbing the peace of the sect. You should apologize and show your sincerity. I see you here today The men, Bigu, kneel down and chant the scriptures for two days, and the women copy ten volumes of scriptures for the priest to burn and pray for blessings."

Who dares to say no?Reluctance means disrespecting ancestors and fearing gods and Buddhas.

After the sacrifices were over, Zhu Zhiyi was stripped off by the palace officials of the rosy golden phoenix clothes and the glazed crown, and put on plain clothes, and sent to the Qingleng palace where he had thought about it.

Before he left, he wanted to say a word to Liang Hui, but the other party looked straight ahead, didn't look at him, and passed by.

Zhu Zhiyi felt sore and in a daze. Liang Hui's speech for him was just to fight back against the empress dowager's clan for humiliating his mother and concubine.

Zhu Zhiyi was ashamed, Liang Hui should blame him for such a mistake.

What he didn't know was that Liang Hui avoided him not because he hated him, but because he hated himself. He didn't care how others looked down on him, ridiculed him, or laughed at him, because one day he would pay back ten or a hundred times.

But only Zhu Zhiyi can't.

What he least wanted Zhu Zhiyi to know, what he least wanted Zhu Zhiyi to see, was laid out in front of him in the most naked and tragic way today. He couldn't protect him, he was young, cowardly, powerless, and submissive, he was mad with hatred, he was ashamed, so he ran away.
