[Red Mansion] Let's listen to a general's order

"哐 ─ ─ ─ 哐 ─——" It had stopped for more than half a month and did not sound, and the bells of the convening of the meeting suddenly sounded.

With such a big commotion yesterday, everyone in the capital knew what happened, let alone the officials who were as smart as ghosts.

All the ministers were well prepared and dressed neatly, their expressions were a little dignified, and their hearts were filled with anticipation and fear.

Looking forward to the owner of the Hall of Supreme Harmony is the prince who bet by his family, and the owner of the Hall of Supreme Harmony is the prince who is hostile to him.

The hundreds of officials and dignitaries who went to the court with this uneasy mood saw that although their emperor was a bit old, he was very energetic and did not look like he was dying at all, sitting high on the dragon chair. .

Everyone's heart trembled, and they bowed in worship.

Dai Quan held the imperial decree and began to announce the decree.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor's edict said: Jin Wang Li Tianhuang has a straightforward temperament, misleading traitors as his confidantes, and was manipulated by Jingtai, a scholar of the Palace of Baohe, and General Fu Yi, etc., and together with King Jing Li Tianrong, rebelled..." He is the first son of Emperor Zhou Wen. Emperor Zhou Wen has expectations and love for him, but it is not obvious.He attributed all the faults of King Jin and King Jing to Jing Tai, Fu Yi and others, all because he mistrusted the son of the traitor Zhen to do wrong things.Moreover, the seriousness of the word rebellion is many times less serious than treason, regicide and so on.

But for another son, Emperor Zhou Wen was not so kind.

"I know very well that Li Tianyan, the king of Qi, is perverted and absurd. He has high ambitions. He has a sinister heart and behaves surlyly since he was a child. Therefore, he chose virtue as his teacher and protector, and a gentleman as a palace official. Unexpectedly, he looks honest on the outside, but hides a traitor on the inside. Cunning, when I saw that the dragon was sick, I revealed my true colors, assembled my party members to rebel, and wanted to kill my father and usurp the throne. There is no king, no father, and a beast. From then on, the righteousness between me and Li Tianyan and his father and son will be broken..." Eloquent and full of anger In the end, they even severed the relationship between father and son.King Qi's ruthlessness really chilled Emperor Wen of Zhou,

"Prince Li Tianyue is rich in talent and enlightenment, and his virtue has long been heard. He is respectful and thrifty, benevolent and loving. He understands the righteousness and saves him from death. I am deeply saddened. The prince, my son-in-law. Born on the fourth day of October in the 38th year of Wen'an , died on the 40th day of March in the [-]th year of Xi'an. After the ceremony, the crown prince Xiaozhao was named... Woohoo! I take advantage of the imperial things, order the fate of heaven, and fear day and night, thinking about the entrustment of the ancestors..." But the prince rebelled The incident was abruptly erased, and he became the prince who died in order to save his life.The prince of a country wants to rebel!That's because the emperor's innocence and immorality caused people to lose their lives, and the prince had no choice but to do this! ?It's hard to say that this news will be bad for thousands of years, and it will shake the country's foundation in a matter of minutes!Of course, another reason is that Emperor Wen of Zhou has softened his heart. After all, he is the son who has loved him for decades.

The other trio of treasonous brothers did not get much reprimand from Emperor Wen of Zhou, just a line of words: "Although King Ning, King Chu, and King Kang made occasional mistakes, they knew how to return when they lost their way, and their flaws were not hidden. Die, chase after Prince Chengyi..." Chu Wang died.

Pure virtue and heaven are called sincerity; calm and moderate way is called sincerity.

Being brave and close to benevolence is called Yi; being gentle, benevolent and loyal is called Yi.

That's right!The king of Chu, the nine sons of the emperor, and Li Tianlang died.

On that day, in order to keep Li Tianjin and Li Tianying from being implicated, Li Tianlang made the bravest and last brave decision in his life.

He didn't take Ruo Jian's antidote.

He exchanged his own death for his brother's life.

The fate of the prince who failed in the rebellion is self-evident. Even if the royal family is not happy to kill the son, the final result is nothing more than being imprisoned in the palace for a lifetime, or sent to guard the mausoleum.

The dignified sons of the sky, the dragons and phoenixes among the people, should lock them up in one place, look at the square sky, face the four walls, live a life isolated from the world, and never go out, it would be better to kill them better!

How could Li Tianlang have the heart for his two closest brothers to end up like this.

He crushed Ruo Jian's antidote, knelt straight in front of Zhou Wendi, and begged Zhou Wendi unswervingly to let his elder brothers and younger brothers go for the sake of his death.

When Emperor Wen of Zhou saw that his youngest and most pampered son gave up his life for his elder brother and younger brother, he couldn't help crying anymore.

Not to mention the rarity of Ruojian flowers, even if there are materials for Qi Ruojian's medicine, it will take at least three days to make the antidote.Li Tianlang will never wait for the day when the antidote will be remade.

In just one day, Emperor Wen of Zhou watched his favorite prince, eldest son, and six sons die one by one.The most tragic thing in the world is that a white-headed man sends a black-headed man. Zhou Wendi sent away three sons at once, and now he has to watch his youngest son die. Although he is an emperor, he is helpless. It was too cruel for him.

All of a sudden, Emperor Wen of Zhou became very old, not only when he was ten years old, his back was slightly hunched, even the spirit in his eyes seemed to disappear, and he disappeared without a trace.

"...Father Emperor promises you..." At this moment, Emperor Zhou Wen was no longer the decisive emperor, but an ordinary old father who agreed to his son's request before he died.

"That's good..." Li Tianlang didn't follow the rules and said that he thanked his father for his kindness.

Li Tianlang's eyes were misty, "Mother Concubine, look! The lotus in the lake is blooming!" His smile was innocent and pure.

In his eyes, he saw the lotus blossoms in the lake standing gracefully, standing with a smile, shy and eager to speak, so beautiful.The breeze blows, and a faint fragrance comes out.

"Woo..." Concubine Hui had already heard the news and rushed over. Hearing what her son was holding in her palm, she forcibly swallowed the sobs in her mouth, pretending to be nonchalant and said with a smile: "Yes! This year's lotus flower They all bloom very early! The concubine mother will send someone to get your favorite lotus cake, and at night I will invite your starling, tenth brother, Xu Meiren, and Concubine Wen to have a lotus feast." But, in Li Tianlang's eyes Behind the disappearance, a series of tears flowed silently from Concubine Hui's sad face, she didn't cry at all, she just let the tears keep flowing down.

As if thinking of something, Li Tianlang smiled with crooked eyes, and said complainingly: "Then we need to ask the kitchen to prepare more silk lotus seeds. The tenth brother likes to eat the most, so that he won't rob me and the mynah again! It's just the mynah." Let him have a good temper! Every time he has to eat three big bowls, he is not too full!"

Concubine Hui's throat was so choked up that she could only nod her head repeatedly, tears streaming down her face.

Li Tianlang also seemed to see the happy family at the lotus banquet, and smiled contentedly.Then, he yawned, fell asleep, grabbed Emperor Zhou Wen's hand, and lay on Concubine Hui's lap.

"...um...mother concubine...Xiao Jiu is sleepy...you sing me a ballad..."

Concubine Hui took a deep breath, adjusted several times, and after making sure her voice was normal, she said, "Okay, Concubine Mother will sing for you."

Li Tianlang closed his eyes, felt the faint fragrance of lotus around him, "I want to listen to the lotus girl." He never dared to let his father know that he loves to listen to the lotus girl, for fear that his father would be unhappy, even if he was as close as a starling or a tenth younger brother. I don't know this secret, for fear of being made fun of by them.But now...don't be afraid...

"it is good……"

After clearing her throat, Concubine Hui patted her son's back and hummed her son's favorite song in a low voice: "I am originally a lotus girl, and my heartfelt tears are like rain. If you see lotus tears, you know that lotus How hard is it?"

"I am originally a lotus girl, I just agree with you.

I will sing for you tonight, every sentence is a sad song.

I am originally a lotus girl, dancing for the king day and night.

How many things have you seen in the world?The only confidants are me and you. "

At this moment, Li Tianlang moved his ears, closed his eyes and said, "You're here?"

"Hmm..." The handsome man in black and red armor with a long pheasant tail took a deep breath and scratched his head shyly.

The stumbling sentence sounded in my ear: "I like you...I...I really like you and want to spend my whole life with you."

Li Tianlang smiled, very happily.

"I am originally a lotus girl, and I dreamed of being a poet with you.

I hope there are lovers in the world who will get married one day. "

In a blink of an eye, Li Tianlang seemed to have returned to his childhood, the first time he saw that child who was tickled by Yu Long'er's rough tongue in the Yumajian.

The boy said nervously: "The dog's egg is mine! It's my little friend!!"

Li Tianlang heard himself say, "Okay, it's yours. My name is Li Tianlang, what's your name?"

Relieved, the boy scratched his head shyly, "My name is..."

"I am originally, the lotus girl, please remember with a heart.

On the day when the lotus blossoms in his year, Blossoming brought my blessings. "

"Squeak!" The palace door was pushed open.

"Your Majesty..." The visitor turned his back to the sun, and the sun cast a faint halo around him, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, and a heroic posture.

Li Tianlang opened his eyes and murmured: "Jia Lian..."

"Huh?" The handsome and handsome face of the visitor turned slightly to one side, looking down at him.

"Huh?" The boy in the fantasy turned his head cutely and looked at him with a smile.

The corners of Li Tianlang's lips curled up slightly, showing a beautiful arc, and there was a soft light in his obsidian-like eyes.

He slowly closed his eyes and tilted his head slightly.

In his dream, there is a kind mother and concubine, a kind aunt, a warm elder brother, a gluttonous younger brother... and that... person who makes him feel mixed.

"Son! My son!! Woooooo! Don't abandon Concubine Mother!!" A heart-piercing cry came from Concubine Hui's throat, and she could no longer restrain her heart pain.

She held her son's head and regretted it, and howled loudly: "It's the concubine who killed you! The concubine shouldn't let you fight for that seat!! Come back! The concubine will never force you to fight again!" Go grab it! Come back!!!!!!"

Emperor Wen of Zhou covered his eyes with trembling hands, and after a long time, he slowly moved away.

When Jia Lian realized what had happened, he also felt a burst of sadness welling up in his heart, as if something suddenly fell from his eye sockets, quickly slid across his cheeks, and fell to the ground to form a drop of transparent water.

He stared blankly at the drop of water on the ground, feeling empty in his heart.

The Ninth Prince who liked to fight against him the most since he was a child died.

No one will ever argue with him sharply.

No one will ever compete with him for favor in front of the emperor.

No one will make trouble with themselves for no reason anymore.

Because the man died.

Jia Lian thought, in fact, he regarded the young man who had been fighting for ten years to run the night as a friend.

King Jin and King Jing were killed in rebellion, King Qi rebelled and murdered his brother and brother, the crown prince and King Chu rescued him and died, and King Ning and King Kang returned to the right place... This, the amount of information is too large, and the officials cannot accept it for a while.

Crown Prince Party and Chu Royal Party officials can breathe a sigh of relief for the time being, while Jin Royal Party and Qi Royal Party officials are all ashen-faced, and some of their psychological qualities are not up to standard. Xu Yijing, the censor of the capital, fainted directly, and was mercilessly dragged out by the servants at the side like a dead dog.

Just as the officials in the hall were busy thinking about how to get rid of the relationship with King Jin, King Jing, and King Qi to tide over the difficulties, Dai Quan continued to read after a short pause.

"Zhi said: Vice-commander of the imperial army, general Zhaolie of the fifth rank, Jia Lian has meritorious service in escorting, promoted to be the champion general of the third rank, given the country's surname, and rewarded..." Jia Lian was promoted from general Zhaolie of the fifth rank to general Zhaolie of the fifth rank. From the champion general of the third rank, to a quadruple jump, and even to be given the surname of the country, it is really a great honor.But after all, it is the credit for saving him, even if he is directly granted the title of marquis, all the officials and nobles have to accept it.Moreover, this decree is too insignificant compared to the previous four imperial decrees.

After reading out a few more imperial edicts on dealing with officials involved in rebellion, the matter of rebellion and rebellion came to an end for the time being, and Dai Quan announced another imperial edict.

"It has been 40 years since I inherited Taizu and Taizong Hongye. Yu here is conscientious and conscientious. The government is clear and bright. The monarch and ministers are kind and support the people. To maintain the order and order of the world is the view of order. My seventh son, Li Tianjie, King of Qin, is of great character and long-cherished. The style of showing wisdom and philosophy, benevolence, filial piety, and deepness, is very humble to me, firm and strong can't take away his ambition, and great confusion can't move his heart. With my emptiness, I can open up the boundless foundation and pass on the immortal foundation forever. Take the former king, Silong is Zhengxu, he should be promoted to heir, and he can be established as the crown prince by raising De Donggong. Still let the director choose a date and prepare a book of ceremonies."

Everyone in the hall nodded straightly.

Prince, King Jin, King Qi, King Jing, King Ning, King Chu, and King Kang, the seven heirs of the emperor died, and those who lost their inheritance rights lost their inheritance rights.Right now there are only Rui Wang Li Tianqi who has no interest in the throne and Qin Wang Li Tianjie who has been serving the sick, so it is only natural for Zhou Wendi to make Qin Wang the crown prince in the eyes of the officials.

This is not over yet, Zhou Wendi threw out a shocking news in a deep voice.

"Everyone, I have decided to choose a good and auspicious day for the Zen throne and the crown prince."

"Ah? Father?" Li Tianjie was stunned on the spot.

No matter how good he thought it was, his father would appoint him as the crown prince, and pass the throne to him after a hundred years. He never thought that his father would still have the throne of Zen.

"Think twice, Your Majesty!" All the officials and nobles bowed down, and even a few old courtiers burst into tears.

Chang Zhenggong, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, immediately stepped forward and cried, "The emperor is in his prime, why did he abandon the world and ignore it?" With his stubborn and unyielding temper, the chances of accidents for another emperor are very high. Not a lot.

Hubu Shangshu followed closely behind, prostrated himself and said, "Your Majesty! I beseech you, the old minister, not to abandon your ministers." As the saying goes, "one emperor, one courtier." The King of Qin seems to be fine now. Who knows if he will ask them if he takes the throne? surgery.Especially the minister of such an important department as him can easily be dismissed by the new emperor and replaced by his own.

Other old courtiers or officials who had offended Li Tianjie with a guilty conscience all persuaded him one after another, and the entire Hall of Supreme Harmony was noisy for a while.

And Emperor Wen of Zhou's decision had obviously been discussed with Wang Yi and He Qi, the two chiefs of civil and military affairs. I saw them standing in their positions as motionless as a mountain, looking particularly calm and relaxed.

"My decision has been made, and you don't need to say anything. All the kings should work together to form a new king. All the ministers should support the prime minister and help the country together." After Zhou Wendi finished speaking, he stood up and did not give them a chance to continue persuading.

Seeing this, Dai Quan shouted loudly: "Back to court—"

"Your Majesty—" All the ministers prostrated themselves on the ground and cried out.

Emperor Wen of Zhou was expressionless, and when he turned around, he motioned for Li Tianjie and Jia Lian to follow him.

Li Tianjie was in a trance, followed to the small hall at the back, then knelt down, choked with sobs and said: "Please take back your order, Father."

"I'm already at the age of knowing my destiny, and I have many problems with my body. It's time to put aside the affairs of the court and take a good rest." Emperor Zhou Wen said wearily.

"My lord, what are you talking about? You are in the prime of your life, but now you are just a little sick..."

Emperor Wen of Zhou waved his hand, but Jia Lian shut up knowingly.

"Guinu, the servants I left for you certainly have abilities, but they are much older than you... From now on, you will have to find them by yourself. Lian'er is considered the top among the younger generation. If you want him to serve you, it is reserved for you.”

"Lian'er, you go and deal with your affairs!" Jia Lian just said one sentence, and after hearing two sentences, he was sent out of the palace.

Jia Lian may not understand the deep meaning, but Li Tianjie does.This is the meaning of Father Emperor telling him that no matter what, for the sake of his old man, he will treat Jia Lian kindly in the future.

Once out of the palace gate, Ran Feng, who had been waiting for a long time, took the reins of Ben Xiao's horse and stepped forward.

As soon as Jia Lian turned over, she sat firmly on Ben Xiao's body.

"Let's go!" Clamping his legs, Ben Xiao ran towards the prison.

The two came to an alley, and at the end of the alley there was a blue and black stone tablet engraved with the word "prison".

"Third, Lao Ran."

"General, Colonel Ran."

These two voices came from Niu Jizong and Lin Han, the captain of the Heavenly Killing Camp respectively.

Jia Lian nodded slightly, and asked, "Well, is there a person inside?"

"It's right there, third child, how do you plan to deal with this ungrateful traitor?" Niu Jizong was eager to try.

Ran Feng hesitated to speak.

Jia Lian didn't say much, "Go ahead and talk about it later."

"Adults, this way please." The head of the prison who was in charge of the prison had long been waiting for him, nodded and bowed quickly.

Jia Lian and others followed him into the prison.

The prison was quite gloomy, and there were bursts of stench.The light was dim, and the dying torches against the wall illuminated the route.

The outside wind came in through the vents. If the wind was a little stronger, it would sound like ghosts crying and wolves howling in the prison, making people feel goose bumps all over their bodies, and it penetrated very deeply.

"Let me out! Let me out!!"

When the prisoners in the prison saw someone coming, some looked up at them numbly, without saying a word, and some curled up on the musty hay in the corner of the cell without moving, not knowing whether it was life or death Some of them clutched at the railing of the cell and shook desperately, shouting loudly.

"Be honest with me!"

The accompanying cell boss waved the whip in his hand, whipped them relentlessly on their hands holding onto the railing of the cell, and yelled again and again to maintain order in the cell.

It didn't take long to reach the end of the prison.

In the cell, a thin man was sitting on the ground, with thick chains on his hands and feet.

"Okay, you go out!" Lin Han took out some broken silver from his bosom and sent it to the prisoner.

"Yes! Yes!" The prison chief smiled and walked to a position where he could see Jia Lian and the others from a distance but couldn't hear them clearly.

"..."

There was a moment of silence in the air.

"Stinky Taoist priest! Speak quickly! Is it because King Jin and the others have something to do with you? Forcing you to lead troops to attack the palace gate? If you don't speak, the general will not be able to help you!" Ran Feng said anxiously.

The thin man still lowered his head, ignoring Ran Feng's words.

Ran Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Needless to say, I know all about it."
