I heard you want to let me down

The way Rong Jin was pushed back did not suffer much.Sang Rong and his family are military generals, but they have no friendship, and occasionally conflicts.Sang Xingning didn't make things difficult for him either.Although the weapons were handed over, there were no shackles, wooden shackles, or even a prison cart.Rong Jin sat in a carriage with nailed windows and only one small door, with two or three masters guarding him at all times.

Escorted all the way back to Beijing, Rong Jin originally thought that he would be directly thrown into the sky prison to await trial, but he didn't expect to get off the carriage, and he found himself standing in a familiar place.

After being guarded all the way, the manager stood at the door, with a helpless smile on his face: "Master Rong, go in."

Rong Jin tidied up his appearance before he walked in slowly and knelt down: "Sinner Rong Jin, I have seen Your Majesty."

The emperor stood behind the table case, looking at a painting on the table case.Hearing Rong Jin's voice, the emperor raised his head, expressionless: "Going out of Beijing without an order is like treason, what do you have to say?"

Rong Jin lowered his head, looked at the light yellow blanket on the ground, and said in a low voice: "No matter what judgment your Majesty and the ministers make, the minister deserves what he deserves, so there is nothing to say."

The emperor was furious, picked up the paperweight that was pressed on the painting, and threw it at Rong Jin: "You bastard!"

Rong Jin studied in the palace since he was a child, and he may have seen the emperor more times in his life than his own father.He is a loose-tempered person who likes to make troubles. He was not good at homework since he was a child, but he always caused troubles.Ever since he was a child, the emperor has often hit him with things, such as oranges, chess pieces, pastries, whatever he picks up and throws at him, basically all of them are thousands of miles away from Rong Jin.Occasionally, it was enough to hit the head enough, obviously it fell on the body without pain or itching, Rong Jin dared to dodge it with a smile, the emperor was so angry that he wanted someone to fork him out and beat him up.

But this time, the emperor didn't hold back, and Rong Jin didn't run away either.

He knelt on the spot, the paperweight hit his forehead, and fell aside with a muffled sound.Although the paperweight was not big, it was solid, and blood gushed out from Rong Jin's forehead in an instant.But he didn't seem to feel any pain at all, and he was kneeling straight.When the paperweight fell to the ground, he leaned over and pressed it to the ground, his voice trembling slightly: "The sinner owes the emperor's favor deeply, and death is not a pity. Please take care of the dragon's body, Your Majesty, and don't hurt the sinner again."

The emperor took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "Rong Jin left his post without authorization, and put him in a prison awaiting trial."

After Rong Jin was pushed away by several guards, the manager came over quietly, picked up the paperweight that fell on the floor in the room, and put it in his sleeve.

The emperor was standing in front of the table, and when he saw the paperweight, he was furious: "What are you doing with this?"

The manager smiled and said, "This is His Majesty's favorite item, how could it be scattered on the ground?"

There were not many people in the room at first, after Rong Jin and the few guards guarding him left, only the emperor and the chief steward were left in the room.The emperor cursed loudly: "Look at that bastard!"

The steward had no choice but to rush to bring the emperor a new cup of tea, to appease the emperor: "Your Majesty, calm down."

"I can't rest!" The emperor said angrily without even looking at the tea, "What happened in the past, and you know how to find a reason to push it away. Now that you have caused such a big trouble, you don't even have a soft word! You just Beside him, I saw it too. Look at his appearance! His neck is stalked, he looks like he wants to kill or cut you at will! It seems that he has done nothing wrong! He is reasonable!"

Seeing the emperor trembling with anger, the manager said cautiously, "Based on my slave's humble opinion, Young Master Rong refuses to speak because he is afraid that His Majesty will embarrass him."

The emperor slapped the table hard: "Don't speak nice words to that bastard!"

Although he scolded the manager, the emperor agreed with what he said in his heart.

There is nothing to say about the loyalty of the Rong family.

This time Rong Jin left Beijing secretly. Although he was angry when he found out, he didn't say anything, but the Rong family let Rong Hui return to Beijing immediately.Later when the matter was revealed, the Rong family immediately pleaded guilty in court.He knew how favored Rong Jin was in the Rong family.What's more, although Rong Jin left Beijing this time, even though he did something wrong, he really didn't want to treason the country.But this incident has been going on until now, seeing that Rong Jin is about to be severely punished, from the beginning to the end, no one from the Rong family has come to beg him, no one has begged for a favor for Rong Jin.

This is certainly a kind of protection for the Rong family, but in the final analysis, the emperor also knew that the Rong family would not make things difficult for him.The Rong family has always been like this, loyal, willing to endure hardships, don't care about anything, and never ask for anything based on past achievements.

Now it has been confirmed that Rong Jin left Beijing without edict.Shao's generals are not limited to the Rong family. It is not a unique rule of the Rong family to keep their family members in Beijing. It is not a unique rule of the Rong family not to leave the capital. This time Rong Jin secretly left the capital. If you don't punish him, how can you convince the public?At that time, everyone will run casually?Even if the emperor wanted to let Rong Jin go, the ministers would never agree.

Although they were talking about being imprisoned and awaiting trial, judging by the tone of the court these days, the emperor knew Rong Jin's final verdict more or less in his heart.

When he first found out that Rong Jin had left secretly, the emperor was not without anger.Later, when he was forced to go to court, the emperor also thought about it when he was the most angry, didn't he like Gu Nian and would do anything for Gu Nian?Just let him be fulfilled and tell him to die for Gu Nian!

But just now, he saw that Rong Jin's forehead was bleeding, but he didn't dodge or avoid it.It's not that Rong Jin is not clear about his current situation, but he didn't even say a word of begging for mercy, and finally he only said "Please take care of the dragon's body, Your Majesty", the emperor finally softened his heart.

In the end, Rong Jin was sent to prison for leaving his post without authorization.

The emperor's eyes fell on the instantly stained blood on the light yellow carpet, and he began to regret that his hands were too heavy, his fingers trembling slightly: "Ask someone to go to the sky prison to show him the wound. In addition, send an order, he will In any case, after Zhongliang, I will not tolerate the humiliation of those young people."

……

Rong Jin sat under the window of the cell.The cell is quite clean, there are even beds and quilts, food and water are provided on time.It was winter now, and the jailer specially ordered charcoal for him.Even if he had never been in a prison cell, Rong Jin knew that the cell should not be like this.In addition, as soon as he was imprisoned, an imperial doctor came to bandage his wound.Rong Jin could guess that it was the emperor who sent a message to take care of him.

Rong Jin looked at the food delivered, there was even a dish he liked in it, and felt very guilty.

Shao Guo's current Majesty is not too wise and powerful.His ears are a bit soft, his favorite concubine likes to make moths, and he is vaguely restrained by courtiers in the court.However, even from the perspective of modern people, he is indeed a good emperor to the Rong family, so trust him and entrust him with reuse.What's more, Rong Jin grew up beside him, even though both parties knew that there was a lot of utilitarianism, but after all these years, there is still some genuine affection.He caused such trouble for His Majesty, but His Majesty still remembers to miss him.

There was the sound of the prison door opening in the distance.

This is not the time to deliver food and water.

The sound of footsteps was getting closer, Rong Jin raised his head, followed the light, and saw yellow coming in from the end.He bent down and knelt down: "The guilty minister Rong Jin has seen His Majesty."

The emperor walked in, glanced at the food on his table first, his expression softened, and he said sarcastically, "Have you never experienced such hardship?"

Rong Jin leaned over and said, "Your minister has left his post without authorization and deserves death. How dare you speak bitterly."

"If it weren't for your brother! Your father! Your grandfather! Your Rong family has worked hard for so many years and is loyal to the country!" The emperor became angry when he saw his appearance, and pointed to Rong Jin's nose, "I really am I want to kill you!"

The emperor was so angry that he didn't even care about proclaiming himself: "Everyone is loyal and filial. It's good for you, for the sake of a man, you don't want loyalty and filial piety!"

When Rong Jin heard this sentence, he suddenly raised his head: "I have been wronged. The Rong family passed on loyalty and filial piety to the family. Even if the guilty minister is incompetent, how dare he be disloyal and unfilial!"

The emperor was furious: "Then you still dare to go! Pretending to ask for an order, did I issue an order for you?! Lawless!"

Get angry when you mention this.After getting along with Rong Jin for these years, the emperor also knew that although Rong Jin liked to get into trouble, he was a smart person, he always knew what to do, and never once stepped out of bounds.He rejected Rong Jin's request, even though he asked someone to watch Rong Jin, he didn't take it seriously, otherwise Rong Jin wouldn't be able to run so easily.He really didn't expect that Rong Jin would dare to do such a thing for Gu Nian!

Rong Jin knelt on the spot: "Your Majesty, if one day, Gu Nian endangers the country of Shao, I will never show mercy to him for the sake of loyalty and filial piety to my family and country. But now, after all, he is the person I like. I guard my family and country, and I also protect my family and children." ah."

The emperor heard the words of the person he likes: "That's right! When you left the palace, you used Shao Yan's brand! I am so used to her!"

"Your Majesty," Rong Jin's face changed suddenly: "How could the princess go against her majesty's wishes? It was the criminal who coerced the princess and took away the token from the princess."

"You don't need to explain to her. You need to coerce you to ask her for something?" The emperor sneered, "I'm afraid you don't even need to ask her for it, and I will give it to you when you are in a hurry!"

"Forget it." Speaking of Shao Yan, the emperor recalled by the way that he could not help but regret the matter of letting Rong Jin get close to Gu Nian in order to make Shao Yan give up, "I knew I shouldn't have asked you to get close to Gu Nian. "

Rong Jin said softly: "It's none of your Majesty's business. It's the minister who is obsessed with sex. He has long developed a love for Gu Nian and failed His Majesty's Long En."

There's no point arguing about it now.The emperor came to him not to scold him again.The emperor whispered: "Ah Jin, you are almost eighteen, you shouldn't be ridiculous anymore. When this incident is over, just calm down. There is a girl in the side branch of the Sang family, who is just the right age. .”

Rong Jin was startled, and took two steps on his knees: "I have committed such a serious crime, how dare I match up with the noble daughter of the Sang family."

The emperor's expression was inexplicable, and he couldn't see clearly in the dark cell: "It's just that he left his post without authorization and went hunting in the suburbs of Beijing. Although he is guilty, it is not a big crime."

Rong Jin understood immediately.

No wonder he didn't wear shackles all the way, didn't sit in a prison car, and the military households who came to arrest him from the Sang family also changed into regular clothes.He was secretly escorted back to Beijing!As long as the Sang family didn't know where to arrest him, no one would have any evidence to prove that he must have left Beijing.What the emperor meant was that he was staying in the suburbs of Beijing these days.

His Majesty must have greeted the Sang family a long time ago.The Rong family is more powerful than the Sang family, and the marriage of the two surnames is only good for the Sang family.Even if the Sang family has no girls of the right age in the five clans several times, they will "change" one.

The emperor said wearily: "A Jin, I know you have always been a straightforward and sincere character. You can play with whoever you like, and you dare to show it carelessly if you like men. Even if you don't like the prince, you don't give face. But in this world Even I can't do whatever I want, do you understand?"

Rong Jin persuaded: "Your Majesty, until now, I haven't shown up for so long, and it happened to be when Gu Nian left. Even if there is no evidence, everyone knows that I left Beijing privately. Your Majesty's love is heavy, and I will always remember it." Heart, there is no repayment unless I am smashed to pieces. But your Majesty protects me so openly, and when the time comes, you will say nothing, and there will be no law, how will it end? How dare I be such a person who disturbs the discipline and the country! If so, I will have no face to face Your Majesty , I beg Your Majesty to grant the minister a death!"

The emperor was not too surprised by Rong Jin's answer.In fact, he also asked Rong Youqing before, and Rong Youqing's answer was the same as Rong Jin's.The emperor sighed: "Do you know what will happen to you if this matter is confirmed?"

Rong Jin kowtowed deeply: "I did something wrong myself, and I expected this day long ago. Even if I cut him to death, I have no complaints. I only hate the absurdity of the first half of my life, and failed to be loyal to the country and filial to my parents. "

The emperor smiled self-deprecatingly: "Okay. You and your father don't care about your life, let me meddle in my own business."

The emperor looked at Rong Jin.Although he was from the Rong family, he was not very tall, probably because of his pampering, his stature was at most slender.A thick gauze was wrapped around his forehead.The emperor asked the imperial doctor, Rong Jin's forehead was seriously injured, but Rong Jin's kneeling body was straight.

Although stubborn, although willful, it is the character of the Rong family.
