words, but this year some people talked about something else, that is, the ethereal singing.Standing beside the emperor, Huimin looked at Jiarui's dodging eyes, almost gnashed her teeth and said, "Your Majesty, you must have known this early on!" The cold tone sent chills down the back of Empress Xiaochun who didn't know why.

After all, today is the Dragon Boat Festival ceremony, even if Huimin has any monstrous anger, he can't get angry on the spot. Before driving back to the palace from the Yuanfang Altar, Huimin called Tong Yi to his side so that he wouldn't make any moves.Naturally, Tong Yi heard Qinglian's singing today, and he was so anxious that he was so anxious that he felt that it would be difficult to hide the matter so far, and was thinking of sending Qinglian out of the capital as soon as the ceremony was over.However, Hui Minyi asked Tong Yi to escort him, which completely shattered his plan. At this time, Tong Yi kept his composure, and he was also thankful. Fortunately, Su Yue sent him away at the beginning.

Due to the strong fire today, the emperor only watched for a moment before the sacrifices were burned. Jia Rui led the crowd to kowtow to the south again, and then announced the end of the Dragon Boat Festival.Tong Yi's holy chariot accompanied him, and the guard of honor was the same as when he came, without any confusion.The musicians of the Yuefu did not accompany them, and after the officials went with the emperor, Qin Zhengqing arranged that if they were still on duty in the palace, they would be sent back to the palace, if not, they would walk two miles away from the Yuanfang Altar and then each go home.

Gu Tingxuan is the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and went back to the palace with Shengjia first. Qin Zhengqing, the music chief, was in charge of the aftermath of the Yuefu, checking the instruments, and was very busy, but he still did not forget to keep Qinglian by his side.Just now Qinglian's singing was overwhelming, captivating everyone, Qin Zhengqing thought of Yan Lan unconsciously, he was very clear about the old things, and somehow there was an ominous premonition in his heart, but Yuefu was so upset at the end that he had no time to ask Qing lotus.After Jiarui took special care of her the day before yesterday, Qin Zhengqing told Tong Yi to let Qinglian leave the palace through this sacrifice, so after walking for a while, he saw Tong's carriage waiting beside her.Seeing Tong Feng, her father's lieutenant general, Qinglian felt at ease, waved goodbye to Mr. Qin, and drove back home.

When all the officials returned to Deyangmen with Shengjia, except for a few important officials in the court, most of them dispersed and went back to the Yamen to handle errands. list.Although Tong Jingyu was also fascinated by Qinglian Ruojue's singing voice, she didn't know that her singing voice was as touching as Yan Lan's.But looking at his father's gloomy face, Tong Jingyu also knew that Qinglian's being so eye-catching at the ceremony today might cause disaster, and he didn't know what would happen in the palace, so he waited more carefully.

The Empress wanted to send the Empress Dowager back to Chenxi Palace, but on the way, Jia Rui excused that he was sick due to the heat today, so he resigned everyone and went back to Chaohua Palace.In today's sacrificial ceremony, the emperor was the one who suffered the most, and the emperor who had always been sloppy was extremely devout today, so Jiarui said he was sick and left the courtiers, and he was considerate.When Jia Rui left, he did not forget to give Tong Yi a playful look.

Everyone followed the empress dowager to Ning's study, thinking that today's Dragon Boat Festival went very well, and now it was just a routine report, but they didn't know that the empress dowager asked Gu Tingxuan about the suspension of the sacrifice.This is indeed a dereliction of duty by the Ministry of Rites. Gu Tingxuan knew that Qinglian was Tong Yi's child, entrusted by her old friend, and didn't want to cause trouble for the Tong family, so she didn't argue, but knelt down to plead guilty.Although it was inappropriate for such a thing to happen at the sacrificial ceremony, the courtiers in Ning's study were still thinking about the singing like the sound of nature, and they still couldn't get enough.

In fact, this matter can be big or small, after all, in the end, Liaosuo was a place where the gods enjoyed sacrifices, and it didn't affect the ceremony, but I didn't know that the empress dowager punished the crime mercilessly as soon as she opened her mouth, and rewarded Gu Tingxuan with fifty court sticks.That was a solid pineapple stick weighing more than ten catties. Poor Gu Tingxuan was already in his seventies, how could he have expected that the Empress Dowager would ask for his own life.Gu Tingxuan didn't understand it, but he didn't need to understand it, because this was just a warning from Hui Min to the Tong family, that's all.

Everyone was stunned on the spot. Seeing the empress dowager was furious, they all knelt down. They didn't know why Mr. Shen Du Gu had committed the upper anger, and all their eyes turned to Tong Yi.Because Tong Yi is Gu Tingxuan's son-in-law, if he asks for love, he should speak first, so that others can agree.But until the guards came in from Ning's study room to drag Gu Tingxuan away, Tong Yi didn't ask for orders.In the end, Tong Jingyu couldn't bear it anymore, regardless of his identity as a guard and no right to discuss politics, he knelt down, grabbed the ground with his head, and begged for Gu's life, and then everyone in Ning's study agreed with him except Tong Yi plead.

Gu Tingxuan is Tong Jingyu's grandfather. Although Gu Jinyi has been dead for many years and Gu Tingxuan and Tong Yi turned against each other, he has always taken good care of his grandson.Tong Jingyu was also taught by Gu Tingxuan since she was a child, and she also loves her grandfather very much. Although she knew that this was Huimin's demonstration and warning, she couldn't bear to watch her grandfather be executed with a cane.Tong Jingyu pleaded for mercy, but Huimin punished him with twenty court sticks for his frivolity and presumptuousness.

Gu Tingxuan was old, and he couldn't bear to resist when the guards took him away. I don't know if he was too shocked by his fate, but he didn't say anything to defend himself. Maybe Huimin didn't leave a chance either. Gu Tingxuan was waited on when the order was issued. The eunuch in Ning's study was taken away, leaving no room for change.Forced by the empress dowager's fury, the guards in the courtyard did not dare to delay, but the punishment stick was not a regular item in Chenxi Palace, so it took time to get it.

Just when Huimin threw a cup and scolded Tong Jingyu who was begging for Gu Tingxuan, Wang Sha returned to Ning's study to ask whether he should be tortured in the courtyard outside the study.Wang Sha was in charge of spying, eavesdropping, torture and other secret matters, and his face was always cold and dark, but at this time his tone also showed hesitation and intolerance, because the fifty court rods would definitely kill Gu Tingxuan.Tong Jingyu pleaded for mercy, just in time to meet Hui Min's anger. Tong Jingyu's rhetoric had almost deceived Hui Min before, but when Hui Min thought about it, she became more and more furious.

Huimin felt that she had been deceived by Tong's father and son. It was the same 20 years ago, and it will be the same 20 years later.Therefore, Wang Sha asked for an order at this juncture, and unconsciously added fuel to the flames. Huimin threw a cup on the ground and "rewarded" Tong Jingyu with twenty court sticks for his deep love, and he did not forget to add a sentence, "To the mourners." I'm going to beat you hard! Whoever begs again will be punished severely!"

Regardless of the fear, contempt, and worry mixed with various emotions in the eyes around him, Tong Yi forced himself to watch his son being taken away calmly.Tong Yi thought that was indeed the case, now no matter what, he had to protect himself first, so that he would be able to protect Pan Yu and Qinglian in the future.Tong Jingyu finally understood why her father was so worried about Qinglian's life experience being known by Huimin. How could Qinglian bear such anger and hatred?

When Tong Jingyu was taken out, Tong Yi felt sad when he passed by his father's side with a glance of compassion. Why should the grievances of the previous generation be extended to the next generation?However, Tong Yi had no choice but to refrain from speaking now, because he knew that if he asked for mercy at this time, Huimin might find a reason and be killed on the spot like Gu Tingxuan.

In the scorching summer, the door of Ning's study was no longer closed, and through the thin green gauze curtain, the sound of falling sticks could be heard after a while.The sound of the stick hitting and the counting sound came and went, and each sound was like a sharp knife piercing Tong Yi's heart. Jing Yu is the most afraid of pain, so Tong Yi has been reluctant to criticize him since he was a child, and Gu Tingxuan is afraid that it will be difficult today. Live it.Tong Yi's heart throbbed when he thought of Gu Tingxuan. He was the elder who raised him up, but now he was implicated to death.

Tong Yi thought that for Suyue and Qinglian, he had forced his father away, exhausted Gu Tingxuan, and Lin Zimo, who committed suicide early in the morning in order to preserve the Shaoya Music Hall, was originally the three friends of Suihan who were the best in the capital for their music books. Now because of Yan Lan, life and death are helpless.When the love came to this point, Tong Yi felt grief in his heart and blood dripped from his eyes.

Gu Tingxuan passed out after less than ten rods. It was a heavy rod that weighed more than ten kilograms.Huimin's "hit with heart" didn't leave Gu Tingxuan alive at all. Wang Sha ordered someone to splash water on Gu Tingxuan who had passed out, and winked at the person holding the stick. lower back.When a heavy stick was struck down, Gu Tingxuan spewed out a mouthful of blood instantly, and his life would end with this.Gu Tingxuan murmured with the last of his strength, and seemed to sigh: "Siming, I have to go first, Brother Lin has been waiting for too long. Forgive me, I can no longer guard for you, forgive me..." At the end of his words, the calligraphy masters of Yinguo's generation passed away with hatred.

Ning's study room was already so quiet that a needle could be heard falling down. Gu Tingxuan's last last words were like a bucket of ice water poured over his head, which made people shiver in the summer and couldn't help sighing.The sound of the stick falling stopped for a moment, and then it sounded again. Wang Sha could relieve Gu Tingxuan earlier, but Tong Jingyu couldn't.

Although Wang Sha didn't know why Huimin was angry, he still understood the meaning of severely punishing Tong Jingyu, so the court stick fell on Tong Jingyu with the sound of the wind, without mercy.The twenty stick punishments have already left Tong Jingyu bruised and wounded. Since Huimin was not told to go to the clothes to be punished before, and today's punishment is not a canonical punishment, Tong Jingyu has preserved her face, but the clothes are glued together. With flesh and blood sticking to her body, Tong Jingyu soon suffered again.

Finally there was no sound from the courtyard, and after a while, Wang Shan supported Tong Jingyu to apologize to Huimin and thanked Huimin, and reported that Gu Tingxuan died under the stick.At this time, Hui Min picked up the tea bowl and carefully brushed the powdered tea, suddenly not aware of the sadness in everyone's eyes,
