Section No.60
Written in the front: The ending of Wei Zun is also a challenge for me. After writing for so long, it is finally coming to an end. I am afraid that the ending will not be right.However, the content of a few sections has been rewritten twice, please believe me, I am a person who will always stand on the sunny side with confidence. Under the killer, everything the plot needs.
:
The sudden appearance of the imperial guards failed to arouse Pang Tong's eyes, and even twelve famous Yinlong guards appeared together, but the opponent didn't even show a frightened expression, leaving a straight spine .
Pang Tong saw only one person in his eyes, with a fair face and bright eyes, he went straight to Gongsun Ce's window and stood there, his eyes overflowing with tender affection, as if he wanted to see the other party once and for all, seeing a strand of hair A frown is engraved in my mind.
"I have an elder brother, Pang Yu, who is five years older than me. My elder brother is intelligent and the eldest son. His father loves him very much. He was granted the title of Marquis of Anle at the age of 15. 12 years ago, when Zhao Zhen first entered Dabao, his elder brother violated the law. He and Empress Dowager Liu did not stay together. For the sake of love, I will give my elder brother to death. My father is physically and mentally injured, and he has already turned his back. At that time, I swore to my father that I would help my father achieve his wish, so as to comfort my elder brother's spirit in heaven, and to keep my Pang family prosperous for generations to come."
"Enough." Gongsun Ce yelled with eyes wide open angrily, interrupting Pang Tong's confession: "Enough! Pang Tong, don't speak so eloquently of you and your father's selfishness and narrow-mindedness! Since your elder brother violated the law, shouldn't he?" Will the king dispose of it?"
"Oh, Gongsun Ce, what is king's law? I, Pang Tong, never pay attention to those so-called loyalty, filial piety and righteousness, and I don't practice the way of Confucius and Mencius. I only do things according to my heart; I only help my relatives, and I don't care about reason."
Tears rolled back and forth in Gongsun Ce's eyes, and he was too stubborn to fall. He sneered and said, "Pang Tong, don't you always do your own thing and never hurt others? Why do you bother to make such remarks? Can you make up for it? You are now the son of Song Dynasty. Sinners are my enemies!"
"I just want you to know that I didn't intentionally break my promise to you. I never thought of deceiving in exchange for anything." Pang Tong's eyes were also a little red, and he lowered his eyes and said, "Gongsun Ce, I don't want you to hate me." I."
"Heh, what did you get in exchange for cheating?" Gongsun Ce sneered, subconsciously clutching the window lattice tightly: "When you first arrived in Luzhou, you said you were looking for a gift for your father's birthday. Is the Yi Wang Gong a gift?"
"Do you believe me? From the beginning to the end, you don't believe that I am looking for a gift, do you?"
"But I believed you later. I believed that you only wanted to protect your family, not to usurp the world, so I promised you to take the sword."
"But the sword was taken away by Zhao Laoliu. He ambushed so many hidden dragon guards by our side. He had already planned all the things for a long time. He and I were already at war with each other, and we had to fight."
"The emperor is the son of heaven. If he is threatened, the country of the Song Dynasty is threatened. You are a minister, and a minister should keep his duty!"
"Pedantic! Extremely pedantic! If I sit on the throne, will you be so foolishly loyal to me!"
"Bastard! What a price the people of the world will have to pay to change the dynasty. The peaceful and prosperous age that has been accumulated for decades since the founding of the Song Dynasty will be destroyed. You are the general of the town. How can you not understand the situation on the border? When there is civil strife, Liaoxia waits for an opportunity. On the map, there will be no place for you and me!"
"Being the prime minister, it really is different. The heart of worrying about the country and the people is very touching."
The two were arguing fiercely, and someone in the Yinlong Guard shouted: "Your Excellency, there is no need to talk to him. Rebellious ministers and thieves, everyone will punish them. The imperial guards obey orders and take down the traitor Pang Tong. Life and death will not matter!"
"Humph." Pang Tong snorted angrily, and pulled out the Seven Star Sword from the sword box behind his backhand. Pang Tong's martial arts skills were extremely high, and the guards knew it well, and all of them bluffed. Even the twelve hidden dragon guards did not dare to step forward rashly. .
"Gongsun Ce, no matter what you think, I have already said what I want to say." With a wicked smile on the corner of Pang Tong's mouth, he turned his head to look at these timid imperial guards, and shouted: "Yao Jiuyi didn't Shall I tell you? I have been poisoned by Nirvana in my body, and my martial arts have been completely destroyed, so what are you so afraid of!"
Gongsun Ce's eyes fell on Pang Tong's side face, he gritted his teeth, and said, "Pang Tong, your father and son are disrupting the world because of their own selfishness, yet you dare to come back alone, your arrogance will make you die without a place to die !" Gongsun Ce turned his head and shouted: "What are you waiting for, quickly take him down."
Pang Tong straightened his arms, and the seven gems on the Seven Star Sword were shining brightly on the black sword. The sword pointed straight at the head of a guard. Opening his fingers, the Seven Star Sword fell to the ground with a clang. He opened his arms and made a gesture of catching him, and then looked up to the sky and laughed, smiling so desolately everywhere.
----------------------
In the early autumn of the northern kingdom, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the grassland glows with a holy silvery white under the moonlight. Pang Ji stumbles out of the big tent, looking at the south and the direction his son left.The soft moonlight wrapped around him like a layer of frost, Pang Ji couldn't help shivering, Pang Feiyan and Mo Xian followed closely behind, Pang Feiyan rushed to his side in three steps and two steps in parallel, shouting: "Daddy!" !"
"No." Pang Ji murmured to himself while shaking his head: "Tong'er, Tong'er, what is your plan? Are you really going to leave your father behind!"
Pang Ji was holding something in his arms, the shiny silver scabbard shone like a breathing living thing, but this unparalleled sword should not be in Pang Ji's hands at this moment, it was originally It should have been taken away by Pang Tong a few days ago.
Mo Xian immediately fell to his knees, kowtowed his head to the ground, and said, "Generalissimo, it's all my fault, I just realized that the general didn't take the Weizun Sword away."
Pang Ji still murmured: "There are many dangers in Beijing. He was injured and poisoned, and he didn't bring the sword with him. What is he going to do, what is he going to do!" Pang Ji's voice became louder and louder. The sound became louder and more flustered, Mo Xian was so full of self-blame that he didn't even dare to raise his head, and said anxiously: "Marshal, don't worry, the last general will go to rescue the general."
"Wait for me to think about it, wait for me to think about it, the emperor... Yao Jiuyi... the imperial army?" Pang Ji's eyes flickered: "Gongsun Ce!"
Pang Ji seemed to understand something, and said with pity on his face: "Tong'er, you are really a demon!" Pang Ji clenched and relaxed the Weizun sword in his hand, his eyes wandered, and his mind was thinking rapidly Countermeasure: "My child, don't be afraid, my father will save you, and I will definitely save you. Don't listen to orders!"
"The end is here!" Mo Xian's voice was louder than ever.
"Call all the men and horses to fight back to the capital with me!"
"The last general has orders!" Mo Xian jumped up as if he had been injected with a stimulant, and ran towards the school grounds.
The idea of saving his son overwhelmed all rationality, but Pang Ji was not an ordinary father after all. Almost at the same moment when Mo Xian was running, his mind calmed down, and he patted his forehead and said to himself: "No, no! , if we send our troops to the south now, we will be cut off by the forbidden army, and we will also encounter the Hunan army from all walks of life, if the army loses even the slightest bit, Tong'er will really die."
Just when Pang Ji was extremely anxious, Pang Feiyan suddenly knelt down and sobbed in a low voice: "Daddy, my daughter begs you, if Daddy wins the Zhao family, please spare Zhao Zhen's life."
"What?" Pang Ji looked at his daughter in disbelief, as shocked as when he found that Wei Zunjian was still in the barracks: "You want me to let Zhao Zhen go?"
Pang Feiyan lowered her head and said softly, "Yes."
Ever since Pang Feiyan was born, Pang Ji loved her very much and was never willing to beat or scold her. But today, Pang Feiyan received a hard slap, and she fell to the ground, her cheeks were red and swollen.
"You idiot, you are an idiot. Your eldest brother died young, and your second brother is in danger now. It's all thanks to him. You actually want me to let him go?"
Pang Feiyan got up, held back tears, and looked directly at Pang Ji: "Father, you sent me to the palace at the beginning, and I did so even though I didn't want to. Now my person and my heart have been given to Zhao Zhen." , you want me to give up again, father, please don't be so cruel to your daughter, I know you hate him, but he is my husband, you can exile me with him or bury me together!"
After Pang Feiyan finished speaking, she maintained a kneeling posture, her stubborn appearance somewhat similar to Pang Tong's.Pang Ji felt that he couldn't catch his breath for several breaths, the veins in his heart were bulging, and he couldn't stand upright due to the pain.
"You are trying to kill me!" Pang Ji put Wei Zun's sword on the ground before barely standing still: "Okay, you are all sons and daughters of blood, and saints with the most affection and nature. He is for Gongsun Ce, you For Zhao Zhen, I don't even want my father!"
"No, Daddy, my daughter just wants you to keep him alive, there is no other request. From now on, my daughter will serve by Daddy's side and never leave her. How can I not want Daddy!"
"Hehehe." There was a cry in Pang Ji's laughter: "It's funny, it's really funny, what happened to my dignified Pang family, you are like this, for the so-called love, you don't want anything , I don’t even want my life, I’m an old man, what do I want this country for! What do I need this country for!”
Pang Ji roared loudly, but his voice was drowned out by the rustling sound of the vast grassland. Pang Feiyan got up to help him, only to find that the old father who had been strong all his life was already in tears.
------------------------
The news that Pang Tong was captured alive spread like wildfire, and the whole country was shocked.The Song Dynasty was originally an enlightened dynasty, and it never restricted speech. There were many discussions from all the families down to the common people. If you complain, the border gates of the Song Dynasty for more than ten years have been guarded for nothing.In any case, the Pang family did not stand on the ground of reason and reason, and there were not many people who sympathized with the Pang family. In addition, this matter was of great importance, and no one would dare to make mistakes at the feet of the emperor.
On the night when Pang Tong was arrested, Gongsun Ce kicked out all the people who were waiting on his left and right. He smashed things like crazy in the room, and even the mahogany desk that weighed more than [-] catties when he usually handled official business was turned upside down. , all kinds of military newspapers, brochures, and books were even more bleak, and they were almost thrown all over the floor. Even the various ancient pharmacopoeias he had treasured for many years were not spared.
Since the Pang family dispatched the army to the north, Zhao Zhen returned to the imperial city from the Luohe palace in a low-key way. Every morning, his face was somber, and the great news of Pang Tong's capture finally added a trace of vigor to the king's eyebrows.
Zhao Zhen's eyes drifted to Gongsun Ce's pale face: "Aiqing is another first, but today's complexion is not very good. I wonder if it is because Aiqing didn't sleep well last night?"
Gongsun Ce's eyebrows twitched lightly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, I'm fine with you."
Zhao Zhen was not talking to him anymore, he turned his face and looked at the center of the hall: "The traitor Pang Tong was captured, what do you think?"
"Qi Zou the emperor, the Pang family conspired against him, and Pang Tong is the leader of the bandit. Now that he is captured, he can be killed as an example to others, and it can also have the effect of disrupting the enemy's position."
"It's absolutely impossible, absolutely impossible. Master Li's words are wrong. Your Majesty, Pang Tong is the only son of Pang Ji. If you keep him, you can let him fall into a trap."
"Your Majesty, the veteran agrees with Master Wei. It is an indisputable fact that the Pang family has a strong army to defend one side. We can only wait and see what happens and deal with it carefully. Pang Tong is an important chess piece. Not only can he not be killed, but he must also be guaranteed to live. good!"
"Lord Luo, have you ever thought about who Pang Tong is, not to mention his all-powerful ability, which of his generals is Yi Yi's generation, besides, the Pang family has occupied the capital for more than ten years?" Your lord should understand the reason why a tree grows deep in the first year, give them time to plan and arrange, and wait for an opportunity to rescue them, maybe this pawn will be useless, and you will return it to a tiger!"
"Your Majesty, as far as I know, Pang Tong has been poisoned by the secret system of the Forbidden Army. There is no reason to let the tiger go back to the mountain. Master Jin is too worried!"
"Master Lin is too short-sighted. If Pang Ji is a cautious person and wants to conquer the world, he will definitely go step by step. It is not impossible to delay it for several months or years! Then he will not be able to detoxify that Pang thief! Besides, the Pang family's subordinates There are countless masters of Chinese medicine, if you refine the antidote by yourself, how can you do it!"
"Okay." Zhao Zhen waved his hand, and the emperor opened his mouth, and all the ministers stopped in unison, and retreated back to their seats. "Gongsun Aiqing, what do you think?"
Gongsun Ce's face turned abnormally pale, and his lips were even colorless. He pointed his head forward and said, "Your Majesty, the worries of all the adults are justified. I have a compromise."
Zhao Zhen rolled his eyes and said with interest: "Please tell me, Ai Qing."
"The emperor committed the same crime as the common people. Pang Tong should be punished according to the law of the country. The minister suggested a public trial. To be on the safe side, cut off Pang Tong's limbs and save his life. Even if the poison is detoxified, he will be disabled." Gongsun Ce's cold tone could not detect emotion Zhao Zhen looked at him fixedly, with a surprised expression on his face.
"Aiqing is really a good prime minister of mine. Pass on my will. Pang Tong will be taken into prison in Dali Temple. The commander of the imperial guards will take care of it personally. After ten days, Prime Minister Gongsun will personally preside over the trial. I will hear the trial together with all the officials."
Gongsun Ce's pale face turned pale, and there was a fishy sweetness in his heart, like a sword made of ice pierced into his heart. Ce's eyes suddenly went dark, his whole body seemed to be in an ice cave, he staggered a few times and almost fell down.
Zhao Zhen almost grabbed the dragon seat to help him, but he had no choice but to stop at one thought: "Aiqing, do you feel unwell?"
"Your Majesty, you have lost your manners in front of the palace, please ask the emperor to punish you."
"Aiqing is diligent, but she also needs to take care of her body. I will send the imperial doctor to see what's going on." Zhao Zhen winked indistinctly, and Eunuch Chen went knowingly.
"I'm fine, I don't dare bother the imperial physician."
"Ai Qing, don't try to be brave." Zhao Zhen darkened his face and waved his sleeves: "I've arrived here early, all the Qing families are gone."
Although Zhao Zhen tried his best to do everything carelessly, his extra concern for the Prime Minister was still so obvious. Many officials secretly looked sideways at Gongsun Ce, and even whispered when they left the palace gate.
Gongsun Ce tried his best to stand upright, as if he hadn't heard anything, the chill in his heart reminded him that the chill that had been suppressed by the flames for a long time had returned.
The result of the imperial physician's pulse diagnosis was really not optimistic. Gongsun Ce's qi and blood were stagnant, and his pulse was not flowing smoothly. The imperial physician concluded that he was over-tired and undernourished, and ordered Gongsun Ce to stay in bed for recuperation.
Zhao Zhen originally wanted Gongsun Ce to stay in the palace, but Gongsun Ce insisted on returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion on the grounds that it was not easy for his ministers to stay in the forbidden palace for a long time. Go, arrange the people properly, urge the people to cook soup, and ask Gongsun Ce's daily diet in detail.
"Master Prime Minister, I heard from the slaves that you only ate two bowls of clear porridge and two vegetables yesterday, which was too bland. Although the Holy One has always been diligent and thrifty, you are too much, and it hurts your preciousness." The body must be those slaves who bullied the prime minister to be kind and lazy, so the old slave will report back to the emperor and provoke you to come."
Gongsun Ce leaned against the bed and sipped the medicinal soup, and smiled at Eunuch Chen, "Farewell, Eunuch, they are fine, it's none of their business, I usually have a bad appetite, but Bao Zheng brought me a few days ago. The duck fat soup dumpling is quite to my liking, but it’s a pity that the soup dumpling can only be bought in my hometown Luzhou.”
"Hey, what's the difficulty? As long as you want it, it's not a matter of opening your mouth." How can the fine-looking Eunuch Chen not know the importance of Gongsun Ce in the emperor's heart, and has been worried that it will be difficult to do business when he goes back, so he only listens to Gongsun Ce. Tell me something to eat, and I am as happy as anything.
"It's not necessary. Mr. Yin Bao of Kaifeng is a close friend of the lower officials, and he can make good soup dumplings. It's just that Mr. Bao is a third-rank official in the imperial court, so I can't say that."
"This makes it impossible for the emperor to open his mouth once he opens his mouth."
"So, Gongsun Ce would like to thank Eunuch."
Eunuch Chen's request really went well with Bao Zheng's wishes. Seeing Gongsun Ce's inappropriateness in the court hall, he was a little anxious, but the distance between the third rank and the first rank was half a hall. As soon as he rushed out of the palace gate, he couldn't even look back, his ears were bright, and the gossip went straight into his ears, Bao Zheng frowned frequently, thinking of Gongsun Ce's pale face, he felt somewhat worthless for him.
Bao Zheng, who was checking files in Kaifeng Mansion's archives after finishing his official duties, suddenly received an imperial order to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to make duck fat soup dumplings. Bao Zheng thought about it for a long time, but the only thing he realized was that ducks are indispensable. The thick duck was carried to the prime minister's mansion, the servant girl took the duck, and the little boy led Bao Zheng to the flower hall. There were three hundred servants in the huge prime minister's mansion, but only Gongsun Ce was the master.
When Bao Zheng arrived at the Flower Hall, Gongsun Ce had already got up, followed by two servant girls and four bodyguards. He was wearing a moon-white casual clothes with fluttering skirts, reflecting a handsome face as transparent as white.
"Master Bao, I'm sorry to trouble you."
"Master Gongsun, where is it? I was thinking about when I would be able to become a chef with this skill. I didn't expect that it was the first time to cook for the prime minister. I feel very honored."
Gongsun Ce said: "Master Bao, even though you and I are good friends, how can I not know what is good and what is bad, how about this, I will make duck oil soup buns with you and eat together."
After finishing speaking, Gongsun Ce stepped forward to hold Bao Zheng's hand: "Come on, I will lead you to the kitchen."
Before the first step was taken, the man who looked like a housekeeper knelt down on his knees: "Sir, you are not in good health, let the little one go with Mr. Bao, Mr. Bao doesn't have to do it himself, just order the people below That's it."
"Steward Lu, this soup dumpling is a specialty of Luzhou, and I want to learn from it." Gongsun Ce said with a smile, "Besides, the servants can't make that kind of taste."
"If your lord likes that soup dumpling, you can ask lord Bao to teach the cook in the mansion, or you can invite a cook from Luzhou."
"Didn't you just listen to Mr. Bao? You want to be a chef yourself and cook for me." Gongsun Ce looked a little displeased, but the butler still said, "The imperial doctor told you to stay in bed and recuperate."
"Okay!" Gongsun Ce interrupted the butler and said angrily, "I am the prime minister of the court, so I don't even have this bit of freedom!"
"This..." Seeing that Gongsun Ce was really angry, Steward Lu replied with a low eyebrow, "I dare not."
Gongsun Ce couldn't help but pull Bao Zheng and walked out. The maids and servants who followed him just now also followed in unison. Gongsun Ce just walked forward angrily, walking faster and faster, and the people following him also walked faster and faster. Literally inseparable.
The two of them just talked loudly, and when they reached the door of the kitchen, Gongsun Ce angrily ordered that no one was allowed to enter the kitchen. Then prepare the ingredients separately.
Bao Zheng was measuring the flour, Gongsun Ce was scooping up the water, the moment his sleeve touched, Gongsun Ce quickly stuffed a small ball of paper into Bao Zheng's palm, and Bao Zheng flattened it and slid it into the sleeve calmly.
Bao Zheng picked up the stripped duck, Gongsun Ce smashed two eggs, whispered to each other, and asked softly, "Is Zhan Zhao back?"
The two walked away as if nothing had happened, gossiping, waiting for the next moment to meet: "Not yet."
"Where's the little fox?"
"Let's go together."
"How long will it be?"
"I don't know."
It took a long time to finish a few words, Gongsun Ce frowned, looked at the roof, and sighed softly: "God's will."
Bao Zheng scratched the top of his head, leaving a pile of white marks, and said softly, "I can only eat but not cook."
Gongsun Ce gave him a white look: "Squeeze some dough and steam it."
"I'm afraid you'll lose your hair immediately after eating it."
-------------
In the early morning of the second day, as soon as the emperor took his seat, he taught Chen Gonggong to read the will: the emperor said, Pang Tong committed a rebellion, and the remaining party was not cleared, so there might be changes.This is it.
You are not joking, let alone the order of the court, Zhao Zhen sprinkled a handful of salt on Gongsun Ce's wound, wanting to see his reaction.Gongsun Ce didn't even raise his head, he knelt down to accept the order, with a bitter smile chewing on the corner of his mouth, anyway, since it was his own idea, why not let the cruelty come more directly.
In the afternoon, a procession came up Zhuque Street. Gongsun Ce rode a tall horse in the middle, and the imperial guards blew their gongs to clear the way and cut off their tails. Everyone in Bianliang City knew that the emperor ordered to cut off the brothers of the once powerful General Feixing. .
The prison in Dali Temple was guarded by heavy soldiers. The guards handed over their badges, and only Gongsun Ce and the two executioners were allowed to enter. After walking down more than [-] steps, there was a table in the open space, which should be where the guards usually eat. At this time, there was a man in a cloak sitting in front of the table, and beside him stood five or six men in civilian clothes with swords, their foreheads were bulging, and they were undoubtedly masters of the inner family.
Gongsun Jiju hesitated, turned over and knelt down, and said, "Long live my emperor."
The man in the cloak laughed softly, and lifted the cloak to reveal the Nine Dragons Xizhu's top hat: "Aiqing, how do you know it's Zhen?"
"You can enter and leave the prison of Dali Temple at will, and there are guards to protect you. There is only one emperor in the world."
Zhao Zhen helped him up, patted the back of his hand, and said, "Aiqing is not someone who is used to seeing blood, so I will be imprisoned together with Aiqing."
In the deepest part of the dungeon, where the darkness is cramped and the sun cannot be seen, the most dangerous criminals are often imprisoned.There are five layers of prison doors between the deep cell and the outside, and the last layer is actually made of fine steel, even if you are three-headed and six-armed, you will definitely not be able to escape.
In front of the cell, several guard commanders conjured up a wide-backed chair, put it on a bright yellow upholstery, placed a engraved purple gold incense burner, and burned Zelan ambergris, which is Zhao Zhen's favorite, all the time.
"You... are here." There was a murmur in the cell, which was hard to distinguish, but it was indeed Pang Tong's voice. Gongsun Ce stepped back and took a deep breath beside Zhao Zhen.
"Pang Tong." Zhao Zhen spoke first.
"Heh." There were a few sounds of iron chains clashing and a hint of sneer coming from the prison cell.
"Today, Prime Minister Gongsun and I came to see you, are you okay?"
"The emperor and the prime minister remember that Pang is still alive." The commander of the imperial guard lit a few oil lamps with a fire, and although the light was weak, it was enough to sting Pang Tong's eyes that had been dark for a long time.
Pang Tong's hands and feet were locked by arm-thick iron chains forged from ten-refined refined steel. He was half-hanging and half-hanging on the wall in the form of a large character.
His eyes fell on the person in the purple official robe, with the light behind him, he could only see the outline of the body, so thin that he seemed to disappear.
Zhao Zhen sat on the wide-backed chair, stretched out two fingers to his temples, turned his body at a comfortable angle, and said calmly: "The general's military achievements are outstanding, and the Great Song Dynasty has relied on his recuperation for more than ten years. How could I be willing to let the general die?" .”
"Of course you don't want me to die, but you don't want me to live even more."
"The general is so beautiful, but I feel sorry for the mistake. Since the general has galloped on the battlefield for more than ten years, he must understand the truth of winning the king and defeating the enemy."
"Haha." Pang Tong laughed twice, his voice was far less loud than before. Since he was captured, all his weapons and belongings have been confiscated. Pang Tong has not taken medicine for two days. The effects of the various veins have begun to emerge, and Pang Tong can only rely on the traces of internal energy in his dantian to fight against it, but the pain is like eating the marrow of thousands of ants and picking bones with a hundred knives. It is not easy to speak at this moment .
"Winner and loser, who is the king and who is the bandit is still unknown." Pang Tong said the last four words slowly, seeing Zhao Zhen's lazy posture froze as he wished.
"Prime Minister Gongsun, it seems that General Pang doesn't understand what it means to be a king and lose a bandit, why don't you explain it to General Pang."
The man's disheveled hair, the bloody mouth, the welt marks on the tattered clothes, the layers of scars, and his still rebellious attitude all caught Gongsun Ce's eyes deeply. , the eye sockets were already wet, Gongsun Ce didn't dare to look any more, so he had to close his eyes, Pang Tong, why are you bothering.
"My country is stable in the Great Song Dynasty, and the four directions return to the heart. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and they will not worry about it." Gongsun Ce's answer is specious, but the meaning is clear. Zhao Zhen smiled slightly, and stopped disturbing this question, and regained his composure Xian: "Come on, serve General Pang to take medicine."
A commander of the imperial guards walked out behind Zhao Zhen, unlocked the door of the cell, forced Pang Tong to open his mouth by force, and took out a pill from his arms and stuffed it into him.
"Nirvana doesn't feel good, does it?"
Pang Tong grinned, and spit out the pill towards Zhao Zhen in the blink of an eye. The pill hit Zhao Zhen's forehead, and the commanders of the guards who had no time to react were all shocked. A thin layer of anger, others are fine, and my heart is a little wider.Pang Tong was seriously injured, and the blow did not contain internal force. Zhao Zhen was not injured, but was humiliated. The commander of the guard who fed the medicine punched Pang Tong angrily in his lower abdomen.
"Hehehe" Pang Tong coughed up blood and laughed: "Zhao Zhen, why are you still feeding me pills, are you afraid that I will die? Hehehe, hehehe!" Although he was seriously injured and weak, Pang Tong laughed arrogantly, Zhao Zhen wiped his forehead with a handkerchief, and said slowly: "Pang Tong, do you really think I dare not kill you?
"If you kill me, how can I make my father be afraid?"
Zhao Zhen stood up and walked into the cell. The commander of the imperial guard wanted to stop him, but was forced back by Zhao Zhen's eyes.Zhao Zhen paced slowly in the cell: "That's right, a 40 army is pressing down on the border, how can I let the trump card I finally got fly away like this."
He stopped in front of Pang Tong, and pointed his fingertips at Pang Tong's blood-stained skirt: "Let me think about it, what can make this domineering Flying Star General afraid?"
Zhao Zhen's eyes turned to Gongsun Ce's face: "Gongsun Aiqing, come and help me think about it."
Gongsun Ce bit his lower lip, bowed his head and said, "I'm stupid, I don't know."
"Hehe, General Pang has always been brave. It's not easy to know his weakness, but I bet Aiqing that if Aiqing sends this pill, General Pang will definitely take it."
The commander of the imperial guards poured out another pill and handed it to Gongsun Ce. Gongsun Ce took it and stepped into the cell, facing a strong musty smell. The cell floor was covered with thick straw, and the It is still dry, but the one next to the ground has been rotted due to damp, and the feeling of stepping on it is different.
Gongsun Ce held the pill in front of Pang Tong, but looked at his shoe upper: "General, please take the medicine."
"Why, Mr. Prime Minister dare not look up at me?"
Gongsun Ce frowned, and said in a firm voice, "General, please take the medicine."
"If the prime minister doesn't look at me, I won't take the medicine."
"You!" Gongsun Ce raised his head suddenly, only to see Pang Tong's face close at hand, mixed with blood and stains, but he couldn't hide the involuntary gentle expression on his face when he looked at him, Gongsun Ce couldn't hold back his tears anymore Live, come out of my eyes.
Pang Tong slightly bent the corners of his lips, licked the palm of Gongsun Ce with the soft tip of his tongue, swept away the pill, swallowed it with blood, it should be the same kind of pill as Liu Yiyi gave.
Just when there was a faint feeling of affection in this ruthless place, he stretched out his hand and pinched Pang Tong's mandible fiercely, pulling him away from Gongsun Ce. The smile on Zhao Zhen's face revealed cold hatred: "Look! , Didn’t General Pang eat it?”
Pang Tong sneered and said: "Zhao Zhen, give me the antidote if you have the guts, don't drag me with the medicine that will make me live or die, it's fine if you don't take it."
Zhao Zhen patted Gongsun Ce's hand, walked out of the cell and sat down, Gongsun Ce had no choice but to follow, Zhao Zhen said slowly: "Pang Tong, you are right, I can't let you die, but neither Dare to let you live a good life, yesterday morning, Gongsun Aiqing gave me a good idea, it is the best of both worlds, the general might as well listen to it."
Before the words fell, Zhao Zhen clearly felt the stiffness of Gongsun Ce who was standing beside him, but he was unwilling to show mercy: "Aiqing, just tell the general what you said about yesterday's morning opening ceremony. .”
"The minister...the minister announced yesterday: The emperor broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. Pang Tong should be punished according to the law of the country. To be on the safe side, cut off...Pang Tong's limbs...to save his life, even if the poison is detoxified It's just... a useless person." Gongsun Ce tried hard not to let his voice tremble, but he almost broke his sentence.
"Heh." Pang Tong smiled softly, and then sighed: "Gongsun Ce, is it true that you want to break my tendons and tendons?"
"You bastard! How can I be the one who wants to cut off your siblings? It's really you... hey!" Gongsun Ce let out a long sigh after shouting angrily: "Everything has its own laws, Pang Tong, I, Gongsun Ce, must have a just decision. "
"Haha!" Pang Tong coughed up blood and laughed, only to hear a deep sigh overflowing from his heart, sighing that he had spent half his life as a soldier, but in the end the only memory he had was his clean face. "Okay, Gongsun Ce, you come, and you cut off my brothers and feet, I am willing!"
Gongsun Ce closed his eyes and remained silent. Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Prime Minister Gongsun is just a literati. The general's request is really difficult for others. How about letting my hidden dragon guard serve the general?" With a wink, the man bowed his hands and walked in front of Pang Tong. Zhao Zhen said: "This is Xie Wei Ji Qingrong, the seventh in Yinlongwei. It is not an insult to the name of General Zhenyuan if he executes the sentence for the general."
Xie Wei is proficient in human meridians, skeletal muscles, and can decompose human body muscles without damage. The bone-cutting knife is sharp and ruthless, and it cuts across the softest parts of Pang Tong's hands and feet. Even with the pain in his heart, Pang Tong opened his mouth as wide as possible, but stubbornly did not let out a whine.
Gongsun Ce kept his head down all the time, with his fingers firmly in his palms, his fingertips scratched his flesh without knowing it: "Qizou... Your Majesty, since the execution has already been executed, why don't you take the antidote of Nirvana and Pang Tong?" Also avoid sending medicine to him every day."
Zhao Zhen glanced at him thoughtfully, and saw that a fine layer of sweat had formed on his face, and snorted, "Don't worry, Aiqing. After eight days, you will have Pang Tong's public trial, and you will decide on this matter."
Gongsun Ce frowned, since Zhao Zhen had already said so, it would be of no use to spend more time talking.Suddenly there were two thunderstorms outside, and the wind poured in from nowhere. The candle flame flickered, reflected on Pang Tong's pale face, reflected in the imperceptible teardrops at the corners of his eyes, Gongsun Ce's eyes suddenly turned white, and his eyes turned white. His legs softened and he fell to the ground.
"Prime Minister doesn't like blood, step back and go rest." After Zhao Zhen said that, the two guard commanders helped Gongsun Ce up, one on the left and the other on the right.
"Minister." Gongsun Ce didn't want to leave, but he didn't dare to look into the prison room. After a long pause, he could only say: "Minister, obey the order."
The chains binding Pang Tong's hands and feet were untied, and Pang Tong fell to the ground like a broken bundle. The wounds on his hands and feet were simply and roughly bandaged to stop the bleeding, and his whole body was in constant convulsions.The commander of the imperial guards was ordered to take Gongsun Ce out. Zhao Zhen knelt down and whispered in Pang Tong's ear, "General Pang, are you thinking that he still hates you, but the general forgot that his dream position is my prime minister?" , His heart has always been with me. And you, to him, are just a traitor who disturbs the country."
The prison doors were locked layer by layer, like a distant and dark dream.
Written in the front: The ending of Wei Zun is also a challenge for me. After writing for so long, it is finally coming to an end. I am afraid that the ending will not be right.However, the content of a few sections has been rewritten twice, please believe me, I am a person who will always stand on the sunny side with confidence. Under the killer, everything the plot needs.
:
The sudden appearance of the imperial guards failed to arouse Pang Tong's eyes, and even twelve famous Yinlong guards appeared together, but the opponent didn't even show a frightened expression, leaving a straight spine .
Pang Tong saw only one person in his eyes, with a fair face and bright eyes, he went straight to Gongsun Ce's window and stood there, his eyes overflowing with tender affection, as if he wanted to see the other party once and for all, seeing a strand of hair A frown is engraved in my mind.
"I have an elder brother, Pang Yu, who is five years older than me. My elder brother is intelligent and the eldest son. His father loves him very much. He was granted the title of Marquis of Anle at the age of 15. 12 years ago, when Zhao Zhen first entered Dabao, his elder brother violated the law. He and Empress Dowager Liu did not stay together. For the sake of love, I will give my elder brother to death. My father is physically and mentally injured, and he has already turned his back. At that time, I swore to my father that I would help my father achieve his wish, so as to comfort my elder brother's spirit in heaven, and to keep my Pang family prosperous for generations to come."
"Enough." Gongsun Ce yelled with eyes wide open angrily, interrupting Pang Tong's confession: "Enough! Pang Tong, don't speak so eloquently of you and your father's selfishness and narrow-mindedness! Since your elder brother violated the law, shouldn't he?" Will the king dispose of it?"
"Oh, Gongsun Ce, what is king's law? I, Pang Tong, never pay attention to those so-called loyalty, filial piety and righteousness, and I don't practice the way of Confucius and Mencius. I only do things according to my heart; I only help my relatives, and I don't care about reason."
Tears rolled back and forth in Gongsun Ce's eyes, and he was too stubborn to fall. He sneered and said, "Pang Tong, don't you always do your own thing and never hurt others? Why do you bother to make such remarks? Can you make up for it? You are now the son of Song Dynasty. Sinners are my enemies!"
"I just want you to know that I didn't intentionally break my promise to you. I never thought of deceiving in exchange for anything." Pang Tong's eyes were also a little red, and he lowered his eyes and said, "Gongsun Ce, I don't want you to hate me." I."
"Heh, what did you get in exchange for cheating?" Gongsun Ce sneered, subconsciously clutching the window lattice tightly: "When you first arrived in Luzhou, you said you were looking for a gift for your father's birthday. Is the Yi Wang Gong a gift?"
"Do you believe me? From the beginning to the end, you don't believe that I am looking for a gift, do you?"
"But I believed you later. I believed that you only wanted to protect your family, not to usurp the world, so I promised you to take the sword."
"But the sword was taken away by Zhao Laoliu. He ambushed so many hidden dragon guards by our side. He had already planned all the things for a long time. He and I were already at war with each other, and we had to fight."
"The emperor is the son of heaven. If he is threatened, the country of the Song Dynasty is threatened. You are a minister, and a minister should keep his duty!"
"Pedantic! Extremely pedantic! If I sit on the throne, will you be so foolishly loyal to me!"
"Bastard! What a price the people of the world will have to pay to change the dynasty. The peaceful and prosperous age that has been accumulated for decades since the founding of the Song Dynasty will be destroyed. You are the general of the town. How can you not understand the situation on the border? When there is civil strife, Liaoxia waits for an opportunity. On the map, there will be no place for you and me!"
"Being the prime minister, it really is different. The heart of worrying about the country and the people is very touching."
The two were arguing fiercely, and someone in the Yinlong Guard shouted: "Your Excellency, there is no need to talk to him. Rebellious ministers and thieves, everyone will punish them. The imperial guards obey orders and take down the traitor Pang Tong. Life and death will not matter!"
"Humph." Pang Tong snorted angrily, and pulled out the Seven Star Sword from the sword box behind his backhand. Pang Tong's martial arts skills were extremely high, and the guards knew it well, and all of them bluffed. Even the twelve hidden dragon guards did not dare to step forward rashly. .
"Gongsun Ce, no matter what you think, I have already said what I want to say." With a wicked smile on the corner of Pang Tong's mouth, he turned his head to look at these timid imperial guards, and shouted: "Yao Jiuyi didn't Shall I tell you? I have been poisoned by Nirvana in my body, and my martial arts have been completely destroyed, so what are you so afraid of!"
Gongsun Ce's eyes fell on Pang Tong's side face, he gritted his teeth, and said, "Pang Tong, your father and son are disrupting the world because of their own selfishness, yet you dare to come back alone, your arrogance will make you die without a place to die !" Gongsun Ce turned his head and shouted: "What are you waiting for, quickly take him down."
Pang Tong straightened his arms, and the seven gems on the Seven Star Sword were shining brightly on the black sword. The sword pointed straight at the head of a guard. Opening his fingers, the Seven Star Sword fell to the ground with a clang. He opened his arms and made a gesture of catching him, and then looked up to the sky and laughed, smiling so desolately everywhere.
----------------------
In the early autumn of the northern kingdom, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the grassland glows with a holy silvery white under the moonlight. Pang Ji stumbles out of the big tent, looking at the south and the direction his son left.The soft moonlight wrapped around him like a layer of frost, Pang Ji couldn't help shivering, Pang Feiyan and Mo Xian followed closely behind, Pang Feiyan rushed to his side in three steps and two steps in parallel, shouting: "Daddy!" !"
"No." Pang Ji murmured to himself while shaking his head: "Tong'er, Tong'er, what is your plan? Are you really going to leave your father behind!"
Pang Ji was holding something in his arms, the shiny silver scabbard shone like a breathing living thing, but this unparalleled sword should not be in Pang Ji's hands at this moment, it was originally It should have been taken away by Pang Tong a few days ago.
Mo Xian immediately fell to his knees, kowtowed his head to the ground, and said, "Generalissimo, it's all my fault, I just realized that the general didn't take the Weizun Sword away."
Pang Ji still murmured: "There are many dangers in Beijing. He was injured and poisoned, and he didn't bring the sword with him. What is he going to do, what is he going to do!" Pang Ji's voice became louder and louder. The sound became louder and more flustered, Mo Xian was so full of self-blame that he didn't even dare to raise his head, and said anxiously: "Marshal, don't worry, the last general will go to rescue the general."
"Wait for me to think about it, wait for me to think about it, the emperor... Yao Jiuyi... the imperial army?" Pang Ji's eyes flickered: "Gongsun Ce!"
Pang Ji seemed to understand something, and said with pity on his face: "Tong'er, you are really a demon!" Pang Ji clenched and relaxed the Weizun sword in his hand, his eyes wandered, and his mind was thinking rapidly Countermeasure: "My child, don't be afraid, my father will save you, and I will definitely save you. Don't listen to orders!"
"The end is here!" Mo Xian's voice was louder than ever.
"Call all the men and horses to fight back to the capital with me!"
"The last general has orders!" Mo Xian jumped up as if he had been injected with a stimulant, and ran towards the school grounds.
The idea of saving his son overwhelmed all rationality, but Pang Ji was not an ordinary father after all. Almost at the same moment when Mo Xian was running, his mind calmed down, and he patted his forehead and said to himself: "No, no! , if we send our troops to the south now, we will be cut off by the forbidden army, and we will also encounter the Hunan army from all walks of life, if the army loses even the slightest bit, Tong'er will really die."
Just when Pang Ji was extremely anxious, Pang Feiyan suddenly knelt down and sobbed in a low voice: "Daddy, my daughter begs you, if Daddy wins the Zhao family, please spare Zhao Zhen's life."
"What?" Pang Ji looked at his daughter in disbelief, as shocked as when he found that Wei Zunjian was still in the barracks: "You want me to let Zhao Zhen go?"
Pang Feiyan lowered her head and said softly, "Yes."
Ever since Pang Feiyan was born, Pang Ji loved her very much and was never willing to beat or scold her. But today, Pang Feiyan received a hard slap, and she fell to the ground, her cheeks were red and swollen.
"You idiot, you are an idiot. Your eldest brother died young, and your second brother is in danger now. It's all thanks to him. You actually want me to let him go?"
Pang Feiyan got up, held back tears, and looked directly at Pang Ji: "Father, you sent me to the palace at the beginning, and I did so even though I didn't want to. Now my person and my heart have been given to Zhao Zhen." , you want me to give up again, father, please don't be so cruel to your daughter, I know you hate him, but he is my husband, you can exile me with him or bury me together!"
After Pang Feiyan finished speaking, she maintained a kneeling posture, her stubborn appearance somewhat similar to Pang Tong's.Pang Ji felt that he couldn't catch his breath for several breaths, the veins in his heart were bulging, and he couldn't stand upright due to the pain.
"You are trying to kill me!" Pang Ji put Wei Zun's sword on the ground before barely standing still: "Okay, you are all sons and daughters of blood, and saints with the most affection and nature. He is for Gongsun Ce, you For Zhao Zhen, I don't even want my father!"
"No, Daddy, my daughter just wants you to keep him alive, there is no other request. From now on, my daughter will serve by Daddy's side and never leave her. How can I not want Daddy!"
"Hehehe." There was a cry in Pang Ji's laughter: "It's funny, it's really funny, what happened to my dignified Pang family, you are like this, for the so-called love, you don't want anything , I don’t even want my life, I’m an old man, what do I want this country for! What do I need this country for!”
Pang Ji roared loudly, but his voice was drowned out by the rustling sound of the vast grassland. Pang Feiyan got up to help him, only to find that the old father who had been strong all his life was already in tears.
------------------------
The news that Pang Tong was captured alive spread like wildfire, and the whole country was shocked.The Song Dynasty was originally an enlightened dynasty, and it never restricted speech. There were many discussions from all the families down to the common people. If you complain, the border gates of the Song Dynasty for more than ten years have been guarded for nothing.In any case, the Pang family did not stand on the ground of reason and reason, and there were not many people who sympathized with the Pang family. In addition, this matter was of great importance, and no one would dare to make mistakes at the feet of the emperor.
On the night when Pang Tong was arrested, Gongsun Ce kicked out all the people who were waiting on his left and right. He smashed things like crazy in the room, and even the mahogany desk that weighed more than [-] catties when he usually handled official business was turned upside down. , all kinds of military newspapers, brochures, and books were even more bleak, and they were almost thrown all over the floor. Even the various ancient pharmacopoeias he had treasured for many years were not spared.
Since the Pang family dispatched the army to the north, Zhao Zhen returned to the imperial city from the Luohe palace in a low-key way. Every morning, his face was somber, and the great news of Pang Tong's capture finally added a trace of vigor to the king's eyebrows.
Zhao Zhen's eyes drifted to Gongsun Ce's pale face: "Aiqing is another first, but today's complexion is not very good. I wonder if it is because Aiqing didn't sleep well last night?"
Gongsun Ce's eyebrows twitched lightly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, I'm fine with you."
Zhao Zhen was not talking to him anymore, he turned his face and looked at the center of the hall: "The traitor Pang Tong was captured, what do you think?"
"Qi Zou the emperor, the Pang family conspired against him, and Pang Tong is the leader of the bandit. Now that he is captured, he can be killed as an example to others, and it can also have the effect of disrupting the enemy's position."
"It's absolutely impossible, absolutely impossible. Master Li's words are wrong. Your Majesty, Pang Tong is the only son of Pang Ji. If you keep him, you can let him fall into a trap."
"Your Majesty, the veteran agrees with Master Wei. It is an indisputable fact that the Pang family has a strong army to defend one side. We can only wait and see what happens and deal with it carefully. Pang Tong is an important chess piece. Not only can he not be killed, but he must also be guaranteed to live. good!"
"Lord Luo, have you ever thought about who Pang Tong is, not to mention his all-powerful ability, which of his generals is Yi Yi's generation, besides, the Pang family has occupied the capital for more than ten years?" Your lord should understand the reason why a tree grows deep in the first year, give them time to plan and arrange, and wait for an opportunity to rescue them, maybe this pawn will be useless, and you will return it to a tiger!"
"Your Majesty, as far as I know, Pang Tong has been poisoned by the secret system of the Forbidden Army. There is no reason to let the tiger go back to the mountain. Master Jin is too worried!"
"Master Lin is too short-sighted. If Pang Ji is a cautious person and wants to conquer the world, he will definitely go step by step. It is not impossible to delay it for several months or years! Then he will not be able to detoxify that Pang thief! Besides, the Pang family's subordinates There are countless masters of Chinese medicine, if you refine the antidote by yourself, how can you do it!"
"Okay." Zhao Zhen waved his hand, and the emperor opened his mouth, and all the ministers stopped in unison, and retreated back to their seats. "Gongsun Aiqing, what do you think?"
Gongsun Ce's face turned abnormally pale, and his lips were even colorless. He pointed his head forward and said, "Your Majesty, the worries of all the adults are justified. I have a compromise."
Zhao Zhen rolled his eyes and said with interest: "Please tell me, Ai Qing."
"The emperor committed the same crime as the common people. Pang Tong should be punished according to the law of the country. The minister suggested a public trial. To be on the safe side, cut off Pang Tong's limbs and save his life. Even if the poison is detoxified, he will be disabled." Gongsun Ce's cold tone could not detect emotion Zhao Zhen looked at him fixedly, with a surprised expression on his face.
"Aiqing is really a good prime minister of mine. Pass on my will. Pang Tong will be taken into prison in Dali Temple. The commander of the imperial guards will take care of it personally. After ten days, Prime Minister Gongsun will personally preside over the trial. I will hear the trial together with all the officials."
Gongsun Ce's pale face turned pale, and there was a fishy sweetness in his heart, like a sword made of ice pierced into his heart. Ce's eyes suddenly went dark, his whole body seemed to be in an ice cave, he staggered a few times and almost fell down.
Zhao Zhen almost grabbed the dragon seat to help him, but he had no choice but to stop at one thought: "Aiqing, do you feel unwell?"
"Your Majesty, you have lost your manners in front of the palace, please ask the emperor to punish you."
"Aiqing is diligent, but she also needs to take care of her body. I will send the imperial doctor to see what's going on." Zhao Zhen winked indistinctly, and Eunuch Chen went knowingly.
"I'm fine, I don't dare bother the imperial physician."
"Ai Qing, don't try to be brave." Zhao Zhen darkened his face and waved his sleeves: "I've arrived here early, all the Qing families are gone."
Although Zhao Zhen tried his best to do everything carelessly, his extra concern for the Prime Minister was still so obvious. Many officials secretly looked sideways at Gongsun Ce, and even whispered when they left the palace gate.
Gongsun Ce tried his best to stand upright, as if he hadn't heard anything, the chill in his heart reminded him that the chill that had been suppressed by the flames for a long time had returned.
The result of the imperial physician's pulse diagnosis was really not optimistic. Gongsun Ce's qi and blood were stagnant, and his pulse was not flowing smoothly. The imperial physician concluded that he was over-tired and undernourished, and ordered Gongsun Ce to stay in bed for recuperation.
Zhao Zhen originally wanted Gongsun Ce to stay in the palace, but Gongsun Ce insisted on returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion on the grounds that it was not easy for his ministers to stay in the forbidden palace for a long time. Go, arrange the people properly, urge the people to cook soup, and ask Gongsun Ce's daily diet in detail.
"Master Prime Minister, I heard from the slaves that you only ate two bowls of clear porridge and two vegetables yesterday, which was too bland. Although the Holy One has always been diligent and thrifty, you are too much, and it hurts your preciousness." The body must be those slaves who bullied the prime minister to be kind and lazy, so the old slave will report back to the emperor and provoke you to come."
Gongsun Ce leaned against the bed and sipped the medicinal soup, and smiled at Eunuch Chen, "Farewell, Eunuch, they are fine, it's none of their business, I usually have a bad appetite, but Bao Zheng brought me a few days ago. The duck fat soup dumpling is quite to my liking, but it’s a pity that the soup dumpling can only be bought in my hometown Luzhou.”
"Hey, what's the difficulty? As long as you want it, it's not a matter of opening your mouth." How can the fine-looking Eunuch Chen not know the importance of Gongsun Ce in the emperor's heart, and has been worried that it will be difficult to do business when he goes back, so he only listens to Gongsun Ce. Tell me something to eat, and I am as happy as anything.
"It's not necessary. Mr. Yin Bao of Kaifeng is a close friend of the lower officials, and he can make good soup dumplings. It's just that Mr. Bao is a third-rank official in the imperial court, so I can't say that."
"This makes it impossible for the emperor to open his mouth once he opens his mouth."
"So, Gongsun Ce would like to thank Eunuch."
Eunuch Chen's request really went well with Bao Zheng's wishes. Seeing Gongsun Ce's inappropriateness in the court hall, he was a little anxious, but the distance between the third rank and the first rank was half a hall. As soon as he rushed out of the palace gate, he couldn't even look back, his ears were bright, and the gossip went straight into his ears, Bao Zheng frowned frequently, thinking of Gongsun Ce's pale face, he felt somewhat worthless for him.
Bao Zheng, who was checking files in Kaifeng Mansion's archives after finishing his official duties, suddenly received an imperial order to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to make duck fat soup dumplings. Bao Zheng thought about it for a long time, but the only thing he realized was that ducks are indispensable. The thick duck was carried to the prime minister's mansion, the servant girl took the duck, and the little boy led Bao Zheng to the flower hall. There were three hundred servants in the huge prime minister's mansion, but only Gongsun Ce was the master.
When Bao Zheng arrived at the Flower Hall, Gongsun Ce had already got up, followed by two servant girls and four bodyguards. He was wearing a moon-white casual clothes with fluttering skirts, reflecting a handsome face as transparent as white.
"Master Bao, I'm sorry to trouble you."
"Master Gongsun, where is it? I was thinking about when I would be able to become a chef with this skill. I didn't expect that it was the first time to cook for the prime minister. I feel very honored."
Gongsun Ce said: "Master Bao, even though you and I are good friends, how can I not know what is good and what is bad, how about this, I will make duck oil soup buns with you and eat together."
After finishing speaking, Gongsun Ce stepped forward to hold Bao Zheng's hand: "Come on, I will lead you to the kitchen."
Before the first step was taken, the man who looked like a housekeeper knelt down on his knees: "Sir, you are not in good health, let the little one go with Mr. Bao, Mr. Bao doesn't have to do it himself, just order the people below That's it."
"Steward Lu, this soup dumpling is a specialty of Luzhou, and I want to learn from it." Gongsun Ce said with a smile, "Besides, the servants can't make that kind of taste."
"If your lord likes that soup dumpling, you can ask lord Bao to teach the cook in the mansion, or you can invite a cook from Luzhou."
"Didn't you just listen to Mr. Bao? You want to be a chef yourself and cook for me." Gongsun Ce looked a little displeased, but the butler still said, "The imperial doctor told you to stay in bed and recuperate."
"Okay!" Gongsun Ce interrupted the butler and said angrily, "I am the prime minister of the court, so I don't even have this bit of freedom!"
"This..." Seeing that Gongsun Ce was really angry, Steward Lu replied with a low eyebrow, "I dare not."
Gongsun Ce couldn't help but pull Bao Zheng and walked out. The maids and servants who followed him just now also followed in unison. Gongsun Ce just walked forward angrily, walking faster and faster, and the people following him also walked faster and faster. Literally inseparable.
The two of them just talked loudly, and when they reached the door of the kitchen, Gongsun Ce angrily ordered that no one was allowed to enter the kitchen. Then prepare the ingredients separately.
Bao Zheng was measuring the flour, Gongsun Ce was scooping up the water, the moment his sleeve touched, Gongsun Ce quickly stuffed a small ball of paper into Bao Zheng's palm, and Bao Zheng flattened it and slid it into the sleeve calmly.
Bao Zheng picked up the stripped duck, Gongsun Ce smashed two eggs, whispered to each other, and asked softly, "Is Zhan Zhao back?"
The two walked away as if nothing had happened, gossiping, waiting for the next moment to meet: "Not yet."
"Where's the little fox?"
"Let's go together."
"How long will it be?"
"I don't know."
It took a long time to finish a few words, Gongsun Ce frowned, looked at the roof, and sighed softly: "God's will."
Bao Zheng scratched the top of his head, leaving a pile of white marks, and said softly, "I can only eat but not cook."
Gongsun Ce gave him a white look: "Squeeze some dough and steam it."
"I'm afraid you'll lose your hair immediately after eating it."
-------------
In the early morning of the second day, as soon as the emperor took his seat, he taught Chen Gonggong to read the will: the emperor said, Pang Tong committed a rebellion, and the remaining party was not cleared, so there might be changes.This is it.
You are not joking, let alone the order of the court, Zhao Zhen sprinkled a handful of salt on Gongsun Ce's wound, wanting to see his reaction.Gongsun Ce didn't even raise his head, he knelt down to accept the order, with a bitter smile chewing on the corner of his mouth, anyway, since it was his own idea, why not let the cruelty come more directly.
In the afternoon, a procession came up Zhuque Street. Gongsun Ce rode a tall horse in the middle, and the imperial guards blew their gongs to clear the way and cut off their tails. Everyone in Bianliang City knew that the emperor ordered to cut off the brothers of the once powerful General Feixing. .
The prison in Dali Temple was guarded by heavy soldiers. The guards handed over their badges, and only Gongsun Ce and the two executioners were allowed to enter. After walking down more than [-] steps, there was a table in the open space, which should be where the guards usually eat. At this time, there was a man in a cloak sitting in front of the table, and beside him stood five or six men in civilian clothes with swords, their foreheads were bulging, and they were undoubtedly masters of the inner family.
Gongsun Jiju hesitated, turned over and knelt down, and said, "Long live my emperor."
The man in the cloak laughed softly, and lifted the cloak to reveal the Nine Dragons Xizhu's top hat: "Aiqing, how do you know it's Zhen?"
"You can enter and leave the prison of Dali Temple at will, and there are guards to protect you. There is only one emperor in the world."
Zhao Zhen helped him up, patted the back of his hand, and said, "Aiqing is not someone who is used to seeing blood, so I will be imprisoned together with Aiqing."
In the deepest part of the dungeon, where the darkness is cramped and the sun cannot be seen, the most dangerous criminals are often imprisoned.There are five layers of prison doors between the deep cell and the outside, and the last layer is actually made of fine steel, even if you are three-headed and six-armed, you will definitely not be able to escape.
In front of the cell, several guard commanders conjured up a wide-backed chair, put it on a bright yellow upholstery, placed a engraved purple gold incense burner, and burned Zelan ambergris, which is Zhao Zhen's favorite, all the time.
"You... are here." There was a murmur in the cell, which was hard to distinguish, but it was indeed Pang Tong's voice. Gongsun Ce stepped back and took a deep breath beside Zhao Zhen.
"Pang Tong." Zhao Zhen spoke first.
"Heh." There were a few sounds of iron chains clashing and a hint of sneer coming from the prison cell.
"Today, Prime Minister Gongsun and I came to see you, are you okay?"
"The emperor and the prime minister remember that Pang is still alive." The commander of the imperial guard lit a few oil lamps with a fire, and although the light was weak, it was enough to sting Pang Tong's eyes that had been dark for a long time.
Pang Tong's hands and feet were locked by arm-thick iron chains forged from ten-refined refined steel. He was half-hanging and half-hanging on the wall in the form of a large character.
His eyes fell on the person in the purple official robe, with the light behind him, he could only see the outline of the body, so thin that he seemed to disappear.
Zhao Zhen sat on the wide-backed chair, stretched out two fingers to his temples, turned his body at a comfortable angle, and said calmly: "The general's military achievements are outstanding, and the Great Song Dynasty has relied on his recuperation for more than ten years. How could I be willing to let the general die?" .”
"Of course you don't want me to die, but you don't want me to live even more."
"The general is so beautiful, but I feel sorry for the mistake. Since the general has galloped on the battlefield for more than ten years, he must understand the truth of winning the king and defeating the enemy."
"Haha." Pang Tong laughed twice, his voice was far less loud than before. Since he was captured, all his weapons and belongings have been confiscated. Pang Tong has not taken medicine for two days. The effects of the various veins have begun to emerge, and Pang Tong can only rely on the traces of internal energy in his dantian to fight against it, but the pain is like eating the marrow of thousands of ants and picking bones with a hundred knives. It is not easy to speak at this moment .
"Winner and loser, who is the king and who is the bandit is still unknown." Pang Tong said the last four words slowly, seeing Zhao Zhen's lazy posture froze as he wished.
"Prime Minister Gongsun, it seems that General Pang doesn't understand what it means to be a king and lose a bandit, why don't you explain it to General Pang."
The man's disheveled hair, the bloody mouth, the welt marks on the tattered clothes, the layers of scars, and his still rebellious attitude all caught Gongsun Ce's eyes deeply. , the eye sockets were already wet, Gongsun Ce didn't dare to look any more, so he had to close his eyes, Pang Tong, why are you bothering.
"My country is stable in the Great Song Dynasty, and the four directions return to the heart. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and they will not worry about it." Gongsun Ce's answer is specious, but the meaning is clear. Zhao Zhen smiled slightly, and stopped disturbing this question, and regained his composure Xian: "Come on, serve General Pang to take medicine."
A commander of the imperial guards walked out behind Zhao Zhen, unlocked the door of the cell, forced Pang Tong to open his mouth by force, and took out a pill from his arms and stuffed it into him.
"Nirvana doesn't feel good, does it?"
Pang Tong grinned, and spit out the pill towards Zhao Zhen in the blink of an eye. The pill hit Zhao Zhen's forehead, and the commanders of the guards who had no time to react were all shocked. A thin layer of anger, others are fine, and my heart is a little wider.Pang Tong was seriously injured, and the blow did not contain internal force. Zhao Zhen was not injured, but was humiliated. The commander of the guard who fed the medicine punched Pang Tong angrily in his lower abdomen.
"Hehehe" Pang Tong coughed up blood and laughed: "Zhao Zhen, why are you still feeding me pills, are you afraid that I will die? Hehehe, hehehe!" Although he was seriously injured and weak, Pang Tong laughed arrogantly, Zhao Zhen wiped his forehead with a handkerchief, and said slowly: "Pang Tong, do you really think I dare not kill you?
"If you kill me, how can I make my father be afraid?"
Zhao Zhen stood up and walked into the cell. The commander of the imperial guard wanted to stop him, but was forced back by Zhao Zhen's eyes.Zhao Zhen paced slowly in the cell: "That's right, a 40 army is pressing down on the border, how can I let the trump card I finally got fly away like this."
He stopped in front of Pang Tong, and pointed his fingertips at Pang Tong's blood-stained skirt: "Let me think about it, what can make this domineering Flying Star General afraid?"
Zhao Zhen's eyes turned to Gongsun Ce's face: "Gongsun Aiqing, come and help me think about it."
Gongsun Ce bit his lower lip, bowed his head and said, "I'm stupid, I don't know."
"Hehe, General Pang has always been brave. It's not easy to know his weakness, but I bet Aiqing that if Aiqing sends this pill, General Pang will definitely take it."
The commander of the imperial guards poured out another pill and handed it to Gongsun Ce. Gongsun Ce took it and stepped into the cell, facing a strong musty smell. The cell floor was covered with thick straw, and the It is still dry, but the one next to the ground has been rotted due to damp, and the feeling of stepping on it is different.
Gongsun Ce held the pill in front of Pang Tong, but looked at his shoe upper: "General, please take the medicine."
"Why, Mr. Prime Minister dare not look up at me?"
Gongsun Ce frowned, and said in a firm voice, "General, please take the medicine."
"If the prime minister doesn't look at me, I won't take the medicine."
"You!" Gongsun Ce raised his head suddenly, only to see Pang Tong's face close at hand, mixed with blood and stains, but he couldn't hide the involuntary gentle expression on his face when he looked at him, Gongsun Ce couldn't hold back his tears anymore Live, come out of my eyes.
Pang Tong slightly bent the corners of his lips, licked the palm of Gongsun Ce with the soft tip of his tongue, swept away the pill, swallowed it with blood, it should be the same kind of pill as Liu Yiyi gave.
Just when there was a faint feeling of affection in this ruthless place, he stretched out his hand and pinched Pang Tong's mandible fiercely, pulling him away from Gongsun Ce. The smile on Zhao Zhen's face revealed cold hatred: "Look! , Didn’t General Pang eat it?”
Pang Tong sneered and said: "Zhao Zhen, give me the antidote if you have the guts, don't drag me with the medicine that will make me live or die, it's fine if you don't take it."
Zhao Zhen patted Gongsun Ce's hand, walked out of the cell and sat down, Gongsun Ce had no choice but to follow, Zhao Zhen said slowly: "Pang Tong, you are right, I can't let you die, but neither Dare to let you live a good life, yesterday morning, Gongsun Aiqing gave me a good idea, it is the best of both worlds, the general might as well listen to it."
Before the words fell, Zhao Zhen clearly felt the stiffness of Gongsun Ce who was standing beside him, but he was unwilling to show mercy: "Aiqing, just tell the general what you said about yesterday's morning opening ceremony. .”
"The minister...the minister announced yesterday: The emperor broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. Pang Tong should be punished according to the law of the country. To be on the safe side, cut off...Pang Tong's limbs...to save his life, even if the poison is detoxified It's just... a useless person." Gongsun Ce tried hard not to let his voice tremble, but he almost broke his sentence.
"Heh." Pang Tong smiled softly, and then sighed: "Gongsun Ce, is it true that you want to break my tendons and tendons?"
"You bastard! How can I be the one who wants to cut off your siblings? It's really you... hey!" Gongsun Ce let out a long sigh after shouting angrily: "Everything has its own laws, Pang Tong, I, Gongsun Ce, must have a just decision. "
"Haha!" Pang Tong coughed up blood and laughed, only to hear a deep sigh overflowing from his heart, sighing that he had spent half his life as a soldier, but in the end the only memory he had was his clean face. "Okay, Gongsun Ce, you come, and you cut off my brothers and feet, I am willing!"
Gongsun Ce closed his eyes and remained silent. Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Prime Minister Gongsun is just a literati. The general's request is really difficult for others. How about letting my hidden dragon guard serve the general?" With a wink, the man bowed his hands and walked in front of Pang Tong. Zhao Zhen said: "This is Xie Wei Ji Qingrong, the seventh in Yinlongwei. It is not an insult to the name of General Zhenyuan if he executes the sentence for the general."
Xie Wei is proficient in human meridians, skeletal muscles, and can decompose human body muscles without damage. The bone-cutting knife is sharp and ruthless, and it cuts across the softest parts of Pang Tong's hands and feet. Even with the pain in his heart, Pang Tong opened his mouth as wide as possible, but stubbornly did not let out a whine.
Gongsun Ce kept his head down all the time, with his fingers firmly in his palms, his fingertips scratched his flesh without knowing it: "Qizou... Your Majesty, since the execution has already been executed, why don't you take the antidote of Nirvana and Pang Tong?" Also avoid sending medicine to him every day."
Zhao Zhen glanced at him thoughtfully, and saw that a fine layer of sweat had formed on his face, and snorted, "Don't worry, Aiqing. After eight days, you will have Pang Tong's public trial, and you will decide on this matter."
Gongsun Ce frowned, since Zhao Zhen had already said so, it would be of no use to spend more time talking.Suddenly there were two thunderstorms outside, and the wind poured in from nowhere. The candle flame flickered, reflected on Pang Tong's pale face, reflected in the imperceptible teardrops at the corners of his eyes, Gongsun Ce's eyes suddenly turned white, and his eyes turned white. His legs softened and he fell to the ground.
"Prime Minister doesn't like blood, step back and go rest." After Zhao Zhen said that, the two guard commanders helped Gongsun Ce up, one on the left and the other on the right.
"Minister." Gongsun Ce didn't want to leave, but he didn't dare to look into the prison room. After a long pause, he could only say: "Minister, obey the order."
The chains binding Pang Tong's hands and feet were untied, and Pang Tong fell to the ground like a broken bundle. The wounds on his hands and feet were simply and roughly bandaged to stop the bleeding, and his whole body was in constant convulsions.The commander of the imperial guards was ordered to take Gongsun Ce out. Zhao Zhen knelt down and whispered in Pang Tong's ear, "General Pang, are you thinking that he still hates you, but the general forgot that his dream position is my prime minister?" , His heart has always been with me. And you, to him, are just a traitor who disturbs the country."
The prison doors were locked layer by layer, like a distant and dark dream.
