Huaibi

Chapter 34

People in Beijing reported that the affairs of the imperial court, Taoism was imprisoned by the He family, and the Yuan family was banned. Dozens of ministers entered the hall together, and knelt in the hall of Qianqing for a whole day, from the dawn to the sunset. He didn't wait for Emperor Hongxuan to come out.

It is said that among the ministers there was an old man who had not eaten a grain of rice or drank a drop of water all day long, knelt down for several hours, and when he got up, his eyes went dark and he passed out.When the emperor heard about it, he only rewarded the imperial doctor to see him, and didn't say a word about it. Even the most favored prince, who was waiting outside the imperial study, didn't show any sympathy for him. One and two powerful ministers, I am afraid that they will finally stop the gongs and drums in this play.

All the matters here, people in the court dare not speak rashly, and ordinary people have no taboos behind closed doors, and it became a matter that no one in the market would not talk about.

Although this is the case outside the palace, it is another scene in the palace.The more people outside talked, the more cautious people inside were. The whole imperial city was filled with eerie silence, and everyone felt like a chilling cicada.

It was Ye Yueming, and the two palace servants each carried a pair of food boxes and walked out from the Xu'an Hall, through the alley with few people, all the way to the prison.The leader was none other than Jiang Chang. When he arrived at the place, he found out the money and bought it well, and the leader brought the hot food inside.

Now that he came back, Jiang Chang did not leave immediately, and taught another person to stay at the corner of the corridor to watch the wind, while he leaned on the wet and cold iron fence and reminded softly: "Master He, eat slowly, the prince ordered the servant to wait on you, and say something to me." You relieve boredom."

He Bingrong was shocked when he heard the words, knowing that Ping Huaizhen must have something important to pass on, so he calmly gave the two pairs of food boxes to his family members, and walked closer to the fence alone.

The prison is quiet, only occasional cries faintly come from the depths, Jiang Chang does not let others listen, and leans forward and whispers: "The emperor will not listen to persuasion, all the adults in the court are kneeling under the palace. After a long time, I have not been able to invite the emperor... There is no other way now, in order to protect the He family, this is the only way."

He Bingrong listened attentively.

Jiang Chang said cruelly: "The Yuan family is under house arrest. General Yuan must be on his way back to Beijing. You only need to push the crime of treason to the general, and the He family will be safe..."

He Bingrong stepped back half a step in amazement for a moment, but before he could stand still, Jiang Chang reached in and grabbed his sleeves tightly.This voice seemed to be urging, he didn't want to hear more than half a word, but the words were still piercing into his ears like desperately.

"What the emperor wants is not the innocence, Mr. He... Think about it, the emperor is so cruel, doesn't he have been jealous of you two for a long time? But between you and the general, he is the one with thousands of troops in his hands. You!" Jiang Chang also stared blankly, his lips trembling endlessly, as if he had exhausted all his strength to say what was in his mind, "Without the general, you can still be a loyal minister for life... Mr. He... ..."

He Bingrong's back felt cold, and after he took off his clothes and stepped back, the voice stopped abruptly.

There are many eyes and ears in the prison, Jiang Chang did not dare to speak loudly after all, and stared at him with straight eyes, only hoping that he would nod his head, so as not to let the prince's wishes go to waste.

But in the blink of an eye, Jiang Chang suddenly twitched his eyelids again, and seeing the person behind He Bingrong, he dropped his head in fright.

Behind that, it was He Jinyi who had a pained expression on his face and listened to what he said just now.

"Is this the prince's intention?"

Jiang Chang said nothing, but He Jinyi dared not hear this remark.

He Jinyi smiled wryly, to be loyal he had to be evil, and to be good he had to be evil. Could it be that his He family is finally going to take this step.

Without the Yuan general, he can still be a loyal minister for life... He looked at his father, turned his head half an inch, and could see his sister-in-law who was pregnant with Liujia.

Why doesn't he want to protect the life of the person in his belly, why doesn't he want to save the whole family, but the whole Yuan family, isn't it life?

Could it be that the rule of exchanging lives for lives is the rule on the bank of the emperor!

"It's disloyal to harm the Yuan general."

At that time, the flames outside the Great Wall will rise, even if the prince can hold the country, how long can he hold it?

Although he wanted to save the He family, he shouldn't have saved it like this. He Jinyi walked a few steps closer and answered two words through the prison door: "No."

Jiang Chang gritted his teeth in an instant, wrapped his palm around the cold fence, and was so startled that there was a sound of iron chains on the door, he hurriedly called out "Mr. The words were unobstructed, and this loyal palace man had already seen the secrets of the two of them, and suddenly asked: "What do you want the crown prince to do?"

He Jinyi's whole body trembled, his eyes turned red.

I once wished that Qingyun would go straight up without losing my spirit, and would like to point out the country and enjoy the grand plan for thousands of miles.

When you are with you, you can see the vast sea and mountains in your eyes, and you can also have a bright moon and a clear breeze. With such a deep love, whoever loses it can live a good life?

Originally thought that one day he would be able to retire completely, and he wanted nothing but a bowl of tea with his ordinary family, but he never expected to meet for ten years, and owed him a lifetime.

As my father said, the He family should put the Yuan family first, even if he is unwilling to abandon the He family, but now it seems that there is really no other way...

It is he who is going to break his promise. The Yuan family should not bear thousands of infamy because of the He family's surviving.

"You go." He Jinyi turned around without looking at him, and the withered grass under his feet made a few rustling sounds.

How could Jiang Chang give up, and turned his eyes back to He Bingrong's face, Baba looked at him.

He Bingrong sighed for a long time, approached the gate again, and asked, "Can you read?"

"Know some."

He Bingrong grabbed his hand across the fence, and slowly wrote several times in his palm stroke by stroke.

Over and over again, Jiang Chang guessed the word concise, and gradually his eyes became sour, and even his fingers trembled.

Knowing that he understood, He Bingrong withdrew his hands and turned around without further words.

Thick clouds blocked the hazy moon, and it was pitch black, so dark that people could not see the path under their feet clearly.

Jiang Chang and the little eunuch went back to Xu'an Palace silently, his palm still seemed to be burning, and He Bingrong's last thought was tightly held there - to protect He Jinyi.

On the Xisai official road, a war horse was flying with its iron hooves, and the general's shirt was still untied, and he galloped furiously with his whip, kicking up countless dust and smoke.

The wronged person in the prison has already made up his mind alone, and now he has no power to recover. He wants to take the guilt on his own and return Yuanshi's innocence.

In order to protect the family and the elderly from the chaos, he would rather risk the safety of his family and country, but He Bingrong thought he couldn't do it.

Only when he dies and Yuan Jiang lives, can someone protect the stability of the prince's future dynasty and seek a safe and secure life for his parents and children.Who is as selfless and as righteous as he is, so why would he want to see his family die.

For the current plan, He Bingrong has nothing to ask for in order to protect the country and the people without losing He Jinyi.

There are rich delicacies in the box, and the prince took good care of it, so Daodao felt at ease.He Bingrong was grateful for it, thinking that his He family was about to die, and he could eat good food in the last few days of the world, and Huangquan Road would never be turned into a hungry ghost begging for food, but the journey was easy.

The young girl ignorantly took two bites of the pear cake and smiled, although this place was eerie, but with her parents and relatives by her side, there was nothing scary about her.He Bingrong stepped forward to caress the back of her immature head, she was still a child with long hair, her loose yellow hair was as soft as brocade, but it was a pity that she had no chance to treat her with black hair like a waterfall.

He Bingrong was ashamed in a low voice: "The He family is all harmed by me today. Once I become an official, I can't help myself. What I owe in this life will be repaid in the next life."

All the family members were stunned, upon hearing his words, several of them covered their faces and wept bitterly. The thoughts they had cherished in their hearts for the past two days were wiped out in an instant, and there was no luck to speak of.

Li Ruyin shed tears, the little girl was frightened and dropped the cake in her hand, and buried her mouth in her mother's arms.Li Ruyin embraced her, although she didn't know what the palace man who delivered the food had said to He Bingrong in just a short moment, but at this moment she also understood the principle of accepting fate, her throat was choked for a long time and she replied: "My lord, don't blame yourself , the He family has ended up like this, and it is a strange concubine... If the concubine hadn't been a strong concubine on the sixth birthday of the prince, how would this happen."

"The world is unpredictable, so it's my wife's fault." He Bingrong put his palms on her shoulders, "My He family, we are born to be loyal, and we can die as traitors."

He Bingrong felt that it was useless to talk too much, so he closed his eyes and rested, as if he couldn't wait to watch the revolving lantern for a long time in his mind, recalling his appearance when he became an official that year.At that time, he was a young boy with a lot of hair, and he had spent decades thinking hard just to live up to being an official. Now how can he say a word of regret or not, whether it is worth it or not.

In the end, there was only a bitter sigh and a laugh.

His last wish has been brought back to the Xu'an Palace by Jiang Chang. The clouds and mists have dispersed, the moon is waning, hanging in the sky alone, the moon shines through the prison window and enters the ground. It's not like, competing sleeplessly.

Ping Huaizhen's fingers tightened and then loosened, his mind was in a state of chaos, and he was still unwilling to let go of the matter until now, watching the He family collapse.As for He Jinyi, no matter what, whatever Bingrong wishes, he will definitely save him.No matter how helpless he was, he still had to try his best to admonish Emperor Hongxuan, the worst thing would be to stop the execution ground, seize the guillotine, and bet on the crown prince's position.

The sad thing is that he wants to save, but the saved person wants to die; the sad thing is that even if he can save, how can he not harm others.

I don't know how many years this word of injustice will be written in the Imperial City Book...

The delicacies are still sent to the depths of the prison every day, Jiang Chang no longer communicates with each other, only takes a few glances at He Jinyi's appearance, and turns around to tell Ping Huaizhen, giving him a dose of peace of mind every time.

Day after day, ten days are approaching.

That night Jiang Chang came back but was out of his mind, he didn't even bring back the food box in his hand, he stumbled into the hall.

"Prince! Young Master He... suffer, suffer..."

Ping Huaizhen was disturbed.

He Jinyi was interrogated and sentenced by the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Jiang Chang could only see the blood-stained white clothes and the whip marks, which was shocking.
