Liang Jianyan

Chapter 43

The imperial decree to behead Yan Chen came down very soon, and for a while, everyone in the court was in a state of panic - so many times before, he asked His Majesty to execute Yan Chen, but to no avail, but now His Majesty personally decreed to behead Yan at Xishikou Chen.Everyone didn't know what the emperor was thinking, but Qi Zhaoyan was killed by Yan Chen, and Qi Zhaoyan was the emperor's confidant, and he had an unusual relationship with the emperor.Thinking about it this way, His Majesty's approach is quite clear.

But Zuo Duo was very anxious in his heart.He knew about Qi Zhaoyan's death, Yan Chen could not escape responsibility, His Majesty would not let him go.But he really couldn't bear to see Yan Chen die like this - even if the eldest brother died, he shouldn't die in such an unclear way.

"I don't understand why!" Zuo Zhiqing said, "Yan Chen wanted to assassinate the emperor, and Pengjun King escorted him, but he was murdered by Yan Chen. He attempted to kill the king, and killed important officials of the court. Escaping death."

"But there is a misunderstanding!" Zuo Duo was even more anxious when his father stopped him on the way to the palace. He said that His Majesty's treatment of elder brother is not so heartless, and that elder brother is upright. If I had told him earlier, he would have known The truth, will not make such a big mistake.

The matter has come to this point, if I don't go to save my elder brother, not only will my elder brother die with hatred, but I will also blame myself for the rest of my life!

"Absurd! The right and wrong of the Son of Heaven is something that a minister can just say!" Zuo Zhiqing really didn't want his son to get involved in this matter, Zuo Zhiqing couldn't help scolding Zuo Duo loudly—even though as a minister, His Majesty's business is The responsibility of a courtier, but Zuo Duo's experience is still inexperienced, he is easy to act on emotions, and he is so close to Yan Chen, if he pursues it with His Majesty's temperament, I am afraid that the entire Zuo family will not be able to escape the responsibility.

You child, why don't you understand the overall situation!

"Father! This is human life!"

"If you want to have a prosperous life, there is no reason not to sacrifice your life!" Zuo Zhiqing was very serious, he said: "You are a subject of Great Liang, the only son of the Zuo family. Yu Zhong, you should obey the emperor's will; Yu Xiao, you should understand the painstaking efforts of your father!"

You can no longer entangle with that remnant of the previous dynasty! ! !

"Father!"

"Stop talking!" Zuo Zhiqing waved his hand, and the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion rushed forward, "Please take the young master back to the room, and don't allow him to step out of the room without my order!"

"Yes!"

Bai Xu was a little surprised when he heard the news from Fu Yunting that Zuo Dalang was grounded—he never expected that Zuo Duo wanted to enter the palace to beg His Majesty for Yan Chen.

In the current situation, dropping a single needle can cause trouble. Zuo Duo is also courageous enough to write to you for help.

"Zuo Changshi and Yan Chen were comrades-in-arms after all, so it's reasonable for him to care about Yan Chen."

"Not only are they comrades in arms, they are sworn brothers!" Bai Xu clicked his lips, and then said to Fu Yunting: "Look, after all, the friendship of sharing weal and woe is deeper."

Fu Yunting smiled and said, "Are you sour Zuo Changshi, or are you sour yourself?"

Bai Xu glanced at him and said, what's wrong with me.

I'm just a little doctor, and I'm not a former official like you, how can I speak in front of His Majesty, let alone plead for mercy.

"Look, you also want to save Yan Chen!"

"How dare you, I'm not as capable as you."

"Come on, stop talking about me." Fu Yunting interrupted Bai Xu, "I can't go to His Majesty to intercede for Yan Chen."

As soon as Bai Xu heard this, he immediately became angry.He said you are really so ruthless?

Fu Yunting also got angry when he heard this, saying why am I so ruthless?

I am an admonishing doctor, and I have not reached the position of His Majesty's confidant, besides, Yan Chen killed my good teacher, should I still plead for him? ! !

These words made Bai Xu speechless, and there were thousands of emotions in his chest, but nothing could be done to persuade him.After a long while, he finally said: "For the sake of us being fellow practitioners, I beg you, go and have a good word with His Majesty."

When Yan Chen was imprisoned, it was you who persuaded the emperor to spare him his capital crime, you must have the ability to do so.

"It wasn't at this time at the beginning." Fu Yunting's attitude was firm. "At the beginning, Yanchen was staying for the sake of the country and the people. Killing Yanchen at this time is also the same."

Back then when I stayed in Yanchen, I listened to my good teacher.Now that my good teacher will kill Yan Chen in his last words, then I will obey it too!

"Fu Yunting!" Bai Xu was so angry that he wanted to scold people, "Yan Chen has the merits of protecting the country anyway, and if he uses it and discards it, could it be that you are a gentleman?!"

Hearing what he said, Fu Yunting said sarcastically: "Then you and Yan Chen had a friendship, what did you do?"

This question completely broke Bai Xu's energy. He was trembling all over, but finally collapsed on the chair all of a sudden - he was shameless himself, why should he blame others?

Seeing him like this, Fu Yunting didn't say any more, just said "Farewell" and left.

At this time, the Taihua Hall was very peaceful.There were so many things in the past, and it finally came to an end.It's a rare time of cleanliness, and I can finally take a good rest.

Today is a cloudy day, and the temple is even darker.Du Guanxuan asked people to light the lamps, and put those literati poetry collections that His Majesty likes on the table for His Majesty to read.

"You are clever." Picking up a book on the case, Liang Xuanliang opened the first few pages, and felt a little boring after reading two lines - he likes the things of these literati, and they always make him feel ups and downs. Find a little solace in peace on the road to regaldom.But when I read it now, I always feel that something is missing.

He stared at the word for a long time, but couldn't see why, so he could only throw the book in his hand on the case.

Seeing this, Du Guanxuan thought that His Majesty was unwell, so he hurriedly asked.Liang Xuanliang shook her head, saying that she just watched too much of these things and was tired.

"During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the old slave asked the music officials to perform a good song to relieve His Majesty."

"Mid-Autumn Festival?" Liang Xuanliang was taken aback, "Mid-Autumn Festival... How many days will Mid-Autumn Festival be?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the day after tomorrow will be the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"...Yes, why did I forget about this?" Rubbing between her brows, Liang Xuanliang then asked, "Why haven't I seen any documents for the Mid-Autumn Festival celebration recently?"

Du Guanxuan replied: "The empress said that there are too many variables recently, and your majesty is too tired, so the empress will deal with the Mid-Autumn Festival alone."

Liang Xuanliang nodded, "It's hard work for her."

After a while, you send some supplements to Hehuan Palace and tell the queen that I miss her in my heart.

"Yes."

"Go down."

Du Guanxuan bowed and retreated.

"Mid-Autumn Festival...it's actually Mid-Autumn Festival." Liang Xuanliang smiled wryly.

How could I forget, there is Mid-Autumn Festival.

That's all, the grudge between you and me on the Mid-Autumn Festival, let you live a Mid-Autumn Festival safely, it can be regarded as my last admiration for you.

"Is it finally over?"

In the past few days, as long as Yan Chen opened his mouth, it was just these words.Those Qianji soldiers guarding the prison didn't know why he asked such a question, they only knew that His Majesty had ordered to punish Yan Chen severely.

Since His Majesty gave this order, they, as the Thousand Machine Army, naturally have to carry it out.All kinds of tortures took turns - Yan Chen was going to die anyway, as long as he was still breathing before he went to the execution ground, it would be considered as completing the task assigned by His Majesty.

When the needles were pierced into the fingers, they sank into the flesh forcibly, and when they touched the flesh and bones, they still burrowed in hard, the pain was so painful that life would be worse than death.Yan Chen gritted his back teeth tightly, without frowning at all - he has already lost his life, and he doesn't want to bow his head to anyone before he dies.

Seeing that his fingers were swollen and purple, and Yan Chen was covered in blood, the people of Qianji Army felt that it was almost the end of the day, so they took Yan Chen back to the cell.In the end, I did not forget to feed him some water, put a bowl of rice in front of him, and left.Yan Chen raised his eyes, glanced at the cell door, and sneered.

Did he know what Liang Xuanliang was thinking, and he asked the people from the Qianji Army to execute him because he was afraid that he would commit suicide in prison, and if he was executed, he would naturally have no energy to seek death.

In the end, he wanted to expose himself to everyone and show his ugliness to the world.

But this is only the first day, there are two days left, after these two days, he will be free.

"His Royal Highness is really willing to die with such hatred?"

A word came suddenly, Yan Chen was startled.He raised his head with difficulty, and looked outside the cell door, where a thousand machine soldiers stood.He squinted his eyes hard to see the man's face clearly.

... Tuva? ! !

Tuva laughed and said, "I didn't expect Prince Yan to remember me."

Yan Chen was stunned for a moment, then calmed down, and said in a low voice: "Master Hou's subordinates are really extraordinary, they can sneak into the prison guarded by the Qianji Army."

"Prince Yan has won the award." Tuva said, "But I never expected to see Prince Yan in such a miserable state."

Yan Chen snorted coldly, struggling to support himself, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Prince Yan must know the intention of Tuva coming here." Seeing that Yan Chen was having trouble getting up, Tuva squatted down and looked at Yan Chen at the same level. "Two days later, the emperor of Great Liang will execute you. Is Prince Yan really not considering cooperating with us?"

"Oh, different ways don't conspire with each other."

"Prince Yan's words are too hasty."

Your enemy is Liang Xuanliang, and Lord Hou's enemy is also Liang Xuanliang. How can it be said that they are different?

Yan Chen glanced at him, and said in a cold voice: "No matter what, I will not betray the Han people, let Adasheer die of this heart."

"This..." Seeing that this method is different, Tuva is ready to start elsewhere, and he continued: "A few days ago I went to see Eunuch Quanrui. Oh, poor Eunuch Quan, I told him about your son, Prince Yan. What happened, he was really grief-stricken, crying and thinking about the emperor, he was really dying."

Prince Yan, look, your Yan royal family is just gone, and you ended up dying at the hands of Liang Xuanliang just like your father. It's really sad.

Tuva observed Yan Chen, and sure enough, Yan Chen froze.Seeing that Yan Chen seemed to be shaken, Tuva went on to say: "Prince Yan, if you really die like this, will you be worthy of Yan's ancestors?"

If you fail to restore the country, you will be tricked and applauded by the bandits instead. Even if you die, how can you face the questioning of your ancestors!

how to face...

... Now, what face do I have to go to see the ancestors of the Yan family...

"Prince Yan, the throne of the Han Dynasty should belong to you!" Tuva continued to persuade him, "You treat Liang Xuanliang with your own kindness, but how did he treat you? He killed your father and took your throne. He even deceived your feelings. Many important ministers in Daqing died at his hands, but you were still used by him to bring down the country for the enemy."

Yan Chen, are you really willing to let him play tricks on you to this point? ! !

Don't you hate it? ! !

"Hate?" Yan Chen was taken aback for a moment, "Hate...hahahaha..."

Hate, why not hate! ! !

Seeing that my body is covered in blood, and the blood and tears overflowing my eyes, I don't hate it.

It is so hateful, and the pain is even more painful...

Seeing that Yan Chen just laughed but didn't answer, Tuva was a little anxious.When someone came in outside, he said to Yan Chen: "I'm going first, and I will come again on the night of Mid-Autumn Festival."

Prince Yan, this is your last chance, I hope you don't let your life slip away.

Yan Chen laughed even harder, and tears flowed out.

That night Yan Chen dreamed again - it was still such a clear dream.The person in the dream holds his hand on his heart, and he can feel the strong heartbeat of the other party.He raised his head and saw the other party's lips moving, but couldn't hear what the other party was saying.

Immediately, he felt a warm and sticky touch on his hand, and when he looked at the opponent's chest again, he saw that he was holding the Feiyan dagger, and the blade had already sunk into his chest.

He trembled all over, and suddenly raised his head—that face, which was exactly the same as Liang Xuanliang's, showed sadness, but after shedding a tear, it turned into a weird smile.He was taken aback, feeling a sharp pain in his chest.Lowering his head again, he found that the knife did not go into the opponent's chest, but into his own heart.

Waking up suddenly, Yan Chen took a big breath.He broke out in a cold sweat and couldn't help shaking.

Slowly covering his heart, Yan Chen felt that the pain was severe.

Liang Xuanliang...

How can you laugh at the present and next year, and look back, the past is not as good as the autumn wind, and the autumn wind does not know the sad moon.A few wisps of colorful clouds walk month by month, the road is a picture scroll of lovesickness, but it flows for a moment, and it is no longer in the world.

Perhaps it was stained with too much sadness, and the moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival was also a bit bleak.The courtiers knew that there were a lot of things going on recently, and the emperor was in a bad mood, so they didn't dare to say much at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.On the contrary, the emperor himself looked quite comfortable, reciting poems and fighting against each other, even drank several glasses of wine.

"You dear ladies, you have worked hard." Liang Xuanliang raised her glass and said loudly: "In recent years, the frontier has not been peaceful, and I have not been able to get together with all the ministers. This year is finally safe."

Come, let me offer you a toast!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!!!" Everyone shouted in unison and drank the wine in their glasses.

Liang Xuanliang laughed a few times, and then said: "Why, after looking around, I always feel that something is missing." He turned to look at Zuo Zhiqing, and asked, "Mr. Zuo, where is Zuo Henian?"

Zuo Zhiqing got up and replied: "Your Majesty, the dog feels cold. The old minister was afraid that he would spoil His Majesty's interest, so he told him to stay at home."

"Hey, since Zuo Changshi is not feeling well, he should take a good rest." Sighing, Liang Xuanliang said, "It's a pity, I still want to see him dance the sword."

These words made Zuo Zhiqing's heart tremble - at noon tomorrow, Yan Chen will be beheaded at Xishikou.He was afraid that Zuo Duo would be impulsive and intercede for Yan Chen, so he locked him up at home.Seeing that His Majesty still remembers Zuo Duo, it must be that His Majesty still cares about Yan Chen.

Oh, what a sinful fate!

But Liang Xuan was still happy on the face.He drank a few more glasses of wine, and he was a little groggy. The song girl's singing seemed to turn into someone's chuckle in his ears, but he couldn't hear it clearly.After a while, he felt bored and wanted to go out for a walk.This is really not a good time to visit the garden and enjoy the flowers. The autumn wind is bleak, and there is nothing but desolation.He walked alone, and unknowingly came to the edge of Qinghu Lake.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival five years ago, when it rained, the man held up an umbrella for him.At that time, he took the umbrella away from his hand, and let the raindrops wet the man's beautiful eyebrows and eyes.

The scene in the memory is vivid in his memory, he stared at the lotus leaf in a daze, bent down to pick a leaf, but was interrupted by a voice.

"Father!"

After a moment of stagnation, Liang Xuanliang sighed, and then turned around—Liang Jiming was standing not far away with a book in his arms.When he saw Liang Xuanliang, he was so happy that he ran and threw himself into Liang Xuanliang's arms.

Feeling helpless, Liang Xuanliang picked up her son and smoothed his hair.

Liang Jiming smiled "giggling" and showed the book in his hand to his father, "Father, I have memorized several poems tomorrow and today."

Liang Xuanliang laughed, but turned cold when she saw the signature on the book.

【Yan Junran】

"Where did you get this book?"

"I took it from the bookstore..."

"Who allowed you to take these books!"

I actually forgot that the collection of poems you wrote is still kept in the Book Pavilion of the Eastern Palace!

Seeing his father getting angry suddenly, Liang Jiming was a little scared. He pouted and whispered, "Jiming studies hard and wants to make father happy..."

Seeing this, Liang Xuanliang realized that she was out of control.Looking at the aggrieved look of the child in his arms, he felt a little ashamed for a moment.

Are you ashamed of your anger, or ashamed of your reluctance?

"...Father doesn't blame you." After softening his voice, Liang Xuanliang put his son on the ground and took the book again; here.Calling the palace man, he ordered: "Bring here all the books signed by 'Yan Junran' in the Book Pavilion of the East Palace."

Liang Jiming didn't understand what his father was going to do, so he could only obediently stand aside and watch.

When the palace people brought the books, Liang Xuanliang took a candle and threw it at the pile of books.In an instant, flames erupted, and the burning smell spread along the flames, and that name was also reduced to ashes.

Liang Jiming looked at the fire, then looked up at his father.The fire light reflected on Liang Xuanliang's face, but it couldn't reflect his thoughts.

Now that it's over, let's end it thoroughly, Liang Xuanliang thought.

In the end, my thoughts on you were also wiped out by this flame.

I want to create a prosperous world, I want celebrities to last through the ages, I want this to last forever!

However, he didn't expect that the fire could burn everything and everyone, but it couldn't burn the silk.

"Report to Your Majesty, the prison is on fire!"

"what?!!"

The flame illuminated half of the sky, but it couldn't illuminate Liang Xuanliang's left eye.
