The Great General and His Little Scholars

Song Yuanhao was so taken aback that he forgot the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers.

Song Yuanxi's calm gaze stayed on Song Yuanhao's face for a moment, and then turned to Zhao Qun. Zhao Qun was already trembling with fright, and fell to his knees on the ground with a "plop".

Jiang Tong walked over, took the green brick from Zhao Qun's hand, smiled and said, "What did you say it was? Jade brick? It's the first time I've seen this jade brick. The color and water quality are not very good. "

Zhao Qun was almost stuck on the ground, trembling all over, not daring to move.

Song Yuanhao looked around, his eyes were full of shock and disbelief: "You... designed this king?!"

Song Yuanxi ignored him, went straight to the chair in the middle of the hall and sat down, and said to the eunuch, "The eldest princess and the son-in-law are here to see me." The eunuch led the order, but Song Yuanhao's complexion became even paler.

Song Yuanxi stared at Song Yuanhao, and said in a deep voice: "Second brother, you think that only you know about Yuxi, so you spread rumors and framed General Liao. Your secret guards are very capable, but unfortunately... my censor is even higher One chip."

Song Yuanhao sneered: "Your Majesty, whether it's green bricks or jade seals, they were all found from the general's mansion, not from the minister's other courtyard. What evidence does the emperor have to say that this matter has something to do with the minister?"

Song Yuanxi didn't answer, but looked up at Jiang Tong.Jiang Tong turned around and said to the guards of the General's Mansion who were guarding the door, "Please come up, Aunt Zhu."

He Qing, who was standing aside, looked at Liao Shan with a puzzled look, and Liao Shan shook his head lightly, indicating that she just had to watch.

After a while, Aunt Zhu was brought up with her head down, her eyes red.However, in a few days, the usual coquettish and charming appearance no longer existed, and his expression was haggard, and he suddenly aged a lot.

Aunt Zhu came in and saw Song Yuanxi sitting in the hall, she was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground at the door.

Song Yuanxi said to Song Yuanhao: "Do you know this person?"

Song Yuanhao shook his head coldly: "I don't know."

"Zhao Qun! Come and tell His Royal Highness King Zhao who this is."

Zhao Qun has been kneeling on the ground in a prone position all the time. Hearing Song Yuanxi's words, he still didn't dare to raise his head. He only glanced at it from the corner of his eye, then quickly retracted it, and said tremblingly, "His Royal Highness, this person is the son-in-law's mother-in-law." ...the minister...the sister who is on good terms with the minister's concubine."

Song Yuanxi said in a cold voice: "Aunt Zhu, you are honest, I see that you are ignorant, and I will punish you lightly."

Aunt Zhu was already sifting through the chaff, she said tremblingly: "Yes... it was the eldest princess who asked the servant... to secretly put the box in the general's room... But when I didn't want the servant to come, my cousin and the general were already waiting here ……so……"

Jiang Tong continued, "His Royal Highness Zhao, I'm really sorry, I just happened to hear Aunt Zhu discussing this matter with the maidservant. It really unintentionally spoiled His Highness's good deeds."

"Nonsense!" Song Yuanhao poked his neck and said forcefully: "This king doesn't know this woman at all, so how can you ruin my good deeds. Besides, this is the son-in-law's mother-in-law, and she said that the eldest princess ordered me to ask about this matter." A princess who is too long is suitable."

"Second brother!" Following the voice, Song Yuanzhen stepped into the door with a face full of surprise: "Second brother, what do you mean by that? Are you trying to push everything to me?"

Song Yuanhao's face was cold, and he glanced at Song Yuanzhen with sinister eyes: "I don't know what you are talking about at all, but since Aunt Zhu is your mother-in-law, what relationship can I have with this king?"

"You!" Song Yuanzhen was trembling with anger: "Didn't you ask me to bring this box into the General's Mansion, find a chance to put it in General Liao's room, and frame him for embezzling the tribute? Now what..."

Before he finished speaking, Song Yuanhao waved his hand and slapped Song Yuanzhen across the face, and angrily said: "You failed to seduce Liao Mingsi with drugs, but instead lost yourself to Liao Mingli. If this king hadn't tried his best to hide it for you and facilitated your marriage with Liao Mingli, you are now in the capital His reputation has long been discredited. It’s fine if you don’t appreciate this king, and dare to spout blood!”

Song Yuanzhen clutched half of her cheek, wanting to cry but without tears.She looked at Song Yuanhao in disbelief, and murmured: "Second brother...you...could it be you..."

All the people present were shocked, and their eyes were full of surprise.Song Yuanzhen's admiration for Liao Mingsi was not something that happened in a day or two. The sudden marriage of Liao Mingli this time was originally a surprise to everyone.

At this moment when Song Yuanhao said these words, everyone understood the reason.

Song Yuanxi's face was livid, his eyes wandered for a moment on the faces of Song Yuanhao and Song Yuanzhen, and he suddenly asked Liao Mingli in a sharp voice: "My son-in-law! King Zhao's words are serious? I want you to tell the truth! Insulting the eldest princess, you deserve to die!"

Liao Mingli didn't expect Song Yuanhao to even betray his own sister, and felt his neck chill for a moment.Hearing Song Yuanxi's question, he hurriedly knelt down and told about the fact that he and the eldest princess were drugged that day when Liao Mingsi failed.

Of course, Liao Mingsi concealed the fact that he was purely intentional, and only said that Song Yuanhao also secretly used Mixiang in Song Yuanzhen's bedroom, which led to his big mistake.

Song Yuanhao wanted to explain something, but Song Yuanxi stopped him and said: "King Zhao! You are really insane, no matter how bad Yuanzhen is, she is your own sister after all, and you treat her like this!"

Seeing that Song Yuanxi had reached this point, Song Yuanhao relaxed, and said with a cold smile: "Your Majesty is right, Yuan Zhen is indeed my sister. But Your Majesty, she is not your direct sister. What can you do?" Does she feel wronged?"

Song Yuanxi's complexion changed, and his eyes also turned cold: "King Zhao, what do you mean by that?"

"What do you mean? Hmph! Your Majesty, do you think that the minister dared to come to the General's Mansion today, so he didn't leave a way out for himself?" Song Yuanhao sneered triumphantly, "I think you also know that before his death, the emperor left me a way out." The next secret edict, if I can’t get out of here today, then the secret edict will be announced to the world immediately. Aren’t you afraid that your reputation as the emperor will be unfair?”

In the palace, the Empress Dowager Xu Wen was sitting in the hall, Xu Pinyan walked in and saluted, "Auntie, father has already done what you ordered, so you can rest assured."

Xu Wen nodded, and glanced at the box on the table at hand. Inside, a butterfly's foot was shining brightly in the box, and the broken butterfly had been connected. Shake to life.

"Is this the token of love that the King of Chu gave you back then?" Xu Pinyan looked at Bu Yao in surprise, and exclaimed: "It turns out to be so delicate and beautiful, and the King of Chu's thoughts on you are so meticulous."

Xu Wen's eyes gradually became moist: "He has always been a delicate and gentle person, but he is too gentle. Even for his half-brother who always wants to kill him, he is too gentle."

As Xu Wen said, she stretched out her hand to pick up the walking stick, and stroked the repair marks at the broken point of the butterfly: "However, when he knew that the person who was robbed of his love by his brother had given birth to him a son, this When his son was about to become the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, he did the most decisive thing in the world."

"He sacrificed himself to save his son." Xu Wen gently put down the step rocker, hooked the velvet at the bottom of the box, and lifted it slightly, revealing a small white bottle.

Xu Wen's eyes moved, but Xu Pinyan seemed not to notice. He stretched out his hand to tidy up the steps, smoothed the velvet skillfully, and closed the lid of the box.She said softly: "Auntie is the most generalist. If you hadn't pretended to be obedient and devoted yourself to someone you didn't love, the King of Chu would have been executed long ago. Besides, you wouldn't have avenged the King of Chu later on."

Xu Wen's complexion darkened, her eyes complicated: "Although it is so, no matter which child it is, after all, it is the flesh that fell from my body. Although it is stupid, I can't bear it..."

"Auntie, don't worry. The emperor is as gentle as the King of Chu. He has also been taught by his aunt to be decisive in situations. My daughter believes that the emperor will handle this matter properly."

Xu Wen sighed and said, "I hope..." His eyes shifted to the box again, and he suddenly smiled and said, "Who would have expected that Zhou Rong is still alive, and he is still holding the relics of the King of Chu."

Xu Pinyan also laughed and said: "It's a thief to be old and not die. Zhou Rong, who has lived to such an age, still has a way to continue to live. He is really a thief."

Xu Wen raised her head and looked far away: "This Liao Mingsi is worthy of being a descendant of the General's Mansion, and he is equally clear-headed in doing things and fighting. I heard from the emperor that the Sima Jiangtong who refused to marry you is actually the one he likes." ?”

Xu Pinyan blushed, nodded and said: "I also heard what Jingxuan said later, so the grievances in my heart are gone. It's not that Master Sima doesn't like me, it's just that he doesn't like any woman."

Xu Wen joked with a smile: "You are hurt by someone now, and you have become so magnanimous? Don't worry, I have already written a book to discuss with King Fucheng about the matter between you and Sima Jingxuan. King Fucheng plans to Return to the capital on May Day, and then I will arrange the marriage for you."

"Oh, aunt, now we're talking about big things. How come the minister's daughter is involved." Xu Pinyan blushed even more, and lowered his head coquettishly, but couldn't hide the joy in his eyes.

In the general's mansion, Song Yuanxi looked at Song Yuanhao with complicated eyes.His voice was deep and firm, and he said word by word: "Second brother, I will give you one last chance for the sake of you and my mother. If you sincerely plead guilty, I will only strip you of your title and demote you to If you insist on doing your own thing, I can only do it impartially, so that I can be worthy of my ancestors and the people of the world!"

"Humph! Ancestors?!" Song Yuanhao smiled coldly: "Your Majesty, you must know how you got your throne. Now that we have reached this point, we don't need to hide anything anymore..."

"Okay!" Song Yuanxi said coldly: "In that case, I will grant your wish. Didn't you always want to know why the edict in Sima Jiangtong's hand was so deadly, and why when the father was dying, he asked you to spare no effort at all?" Is the price to get back the secret edict?"

"You only know that if you take back the secret edict, you can announce the secret edict in your hand and take the opportunity to seize the throne. Those advisers of yours—Shangshu Cao Qian and others of the Ministry of War, have never told you the content of Emperor Chengzu's secret edict."

"Lord Sima, read it to King Zhao!"

Sima Jiangtong carefully took out the cowhide pocket, took out the secret edict written on the yellow brocade, and read:

"Jiansheng (name of the king of Chu), my son: I don't have much time. I'm afraid that the country will fall into the hands of vicious and vicious people. My father is ashamed of you. I couldn't establish a reserve as soon as possible. Fortunately, it can be saved. It's an emergency. This edict is the imperial edict of my crown prince. After my death, it was passed down to Song Jiansheng, the king of Chu. The empress and King Jing were treacherous people with sinister thoughts, and they murdered me on the sickbed. After my death, the empress was ordered to hang herself and be buried according to the common people , not to be buried in the imperial mausoleum. King Jing stripped his title, demoted him to a commoner, imprisoned him in a fiefdom, and was never allowed to enter Beijing..."

Song Yuanhao gradually became flustered from his complacency at the beginning, and his originally arrogant aura also became panicked.A layer of cold sweat gradually floated on his forehead.Apparently, he did not expect that this edict actually established King Chu as the new emperor, and his biological father, the former emperor, was actually the chief culprit who poisoned Emperor Chengzu to death and attempted to usurp power!

Song Yuanxi said in a deep voice: "This is what Chengzu secretly wrote on his middle coat when he was dying. Because at that time, Empress Duanxian and the previous emperor had already poisoned Emperor Chengzu, and stared at him tightly, and put him under house arrest. Chengzu We can only let people take this middle garment out of the palace and secretly hand it over to the king of Chu."

"Second brother, father is just like you. He likes medicine. At the critical moment, if he can't beat his opponent, he will do everything he can. Back then, he sent someone to assassinate the king of Chu, and at the same time prepared me the same thing as Chengzu. It's a pity , the queen mother made a high-level move, stealing the beam and changing the post, and saved me."

Song Yuanhao stared at Song Yuanhao in shock: "You...you mean, the queen mother was poisoned to death..."

"That's called heaven's law, retribution is not good!" Song Yuanxi looked at Song Yuanhao with complicated eyes: "The mother always misses your flesh and blood family, and I also hope that you can rein in the precipice in the end. It's just that you, my second brother... let me down so much. .”

"Although the king of Chu received this secret edict back then, he thought of the family relationship and did not do anything disrespectful to the former emperor and the first queen mother, but the former emperor still could not let him go." Song Yuanxi raised his eyes and looked at Song Yuanhao: "What do you think?" That's right, it is indeed inappropriate for me to inherit the throne of the previous emperor. Unfortunately, what I inherit is the succession of Emperor Chengzu!"

Song Yuanhao gritted his teeth and tremblingly said: "You...you admit it? Father is right, you are the evil seed of King Chu! I am the real eldest son of Father!!"

Song Yuanxi sat upright, and said coldly: "Indeed, you are the son of a criminal minister, and I am the real dragon emperor with a legitimate name and pure blood!"

"You...you..." Song Yuanhao roared angrily: "If you dare to touch me, the imperial father's will will be announced to the world immediately. At that time, none of us can take advantage of it, just wait for the fish to die and the net to break!"

At this time, Jiang Tong came up, took out a letter, and said, "His Royal Highness Zhao, have you been so flustered that you forgot that the major general is about to return from Chaman? Been hearing his name for years."

After finishing speaking, he handed the letter to Song Yuanhao, and Song Yuanhao glanced suspiciously at the words on the envelope - "Zhou Rong pays homage to His Royal Highness King Zhao".His complexion turned pale.

"That's right, the Major General not only brought back the news of victory, but also brought back General Li Chengwu and Chief Executive Zhou Rong." Jiang Tong deliberately repeated the two names, and Song Yuanhao's pale face lost even a trace of blood.

At this time, a guard came in and said something to Sima Jingxuan. Sima Jingxuan immediately said to Song Yuanxi: "Report to the emperor, the Minister of the Ministry of War, Cao Qian, and the Zhaowang party gathered for rebellion, and they have been taken away by the king of Sufeng County." Excuse me. And from Cao Qian, I found a fake imperial edict from the former emperor, the evidence of the crime is conclusive, please tell the emperor how to deal with it."

"Okay." A smile floated on Song Yuanxi's lips: "Pass on my will, the king of Sufeng County has worked hard, and when the matter is settled, there will be a heavy reward. As for the criminals who rebelled, they will be imprisoned first. , Zhou Rong and others will be interrogated together."

After finishing speaking, he turned his gaze to Song Yuanhao: "King Zhao was instigated by traitors, intending to seek rebellion. He will be imprisoned in the Inner Court Prison first, and he will be released after I have consulted my mother."

Song Yuanhao never expected such a result, until he was shackled by the guards, he still couldn't wake up from the shock.He just muttered: "For so many years...Father...So many years...It ended like this...Father..."

Two months later, a dripping spring rain moistened the entire capital, and the trees, flowers and plants that had just sprouted were moistened, fresh and attractive.

A carriage drove to a courtyard in the east of the capital.This courtyard is located in a wide alley behind the bustling area in the east of the city, quiet amidst the hustle and bustle.

The entrance and courtyard walls are very simple, without much ornate decoration.There is only a black plaque hanging on the gate tower, with the inscription in golden official script: Liao's house.

The carriage stopped at the door, and Cuiqiao, who had been waiting in front of the door, ran down the steps and said to Xing'an who was sitting in front of the carriage, "Why did you come here? I've been packing for a long time."

Xing'an said: "The general's wife is reluctant to leave, so the eldest son and the cousin will sit for a while longer." After speaking, he stretched out his hand to lift the curtain of the car.

Liao Mingsi and Jiang Tong walked out of the carriage hand in hand, looked up at the plaque on the door, Jiang Tong smiled and said, "I wrote it casually, and you really hung it on the door."

"Your random questions are well-known in the capital." Liao Mingsi said: "Several adults have asked me about your two words these days, can I write a few words for them and hang them on the gatehouse of my house? .”

"It's just a few words, I'll just write a few more, you can give it away."

"No, I turned it down." Liao Mingsi said arrogantly: "You have to write as many words as you do in the Imperial Academy every day. The calluses on your hands are so thick, why do you still write for them? You also It’s not that you are born so good at writing, and you’re not all practicing by yourself.”

Jiang Tong smiled sweetly: "I know my brother loves me, but I don't have to offend the adults for such a trivial matter, and I don't have to let them say that you are proud of your achievements."

"Let them talk about it. At worst, they will be able to stay with you every day." Liao Mingsi suddenly remembered something as he spoke: "Oh, by the way, I heard that there is a vacancy for the county magistrate in Yu County. Don't apply for a release?"

Jiang Tong was amused by Liao Mingsi: "You still think about me being the county magistrate and you being a military adviser? My father and mother are both in the capital, and even Fucheng Palace will move back to the capital. My relatives are all here, how can I be willing to leave? Woolen cloth?"

After finishing speaking, he stepped into the small courtyard, looked at the clean and tidy courtyard, and sighed with relief: "Besides, I finally have my own home, and I want to guard it here." Then he turned his head, stretched out his arms Clinging to Liao Mingsi's waist: "Look after my brother, and live a life of righteousness."

Liao Mingsi also put his arms around Jiang Tong, and said softly: "Well, the emperor's order has been issued, now, we don't need to sneak around anywhere anymore.

Father and mother said that when King Fucheng arrives in the capital, they will organize our wedding with the eldest son together.The emperor has already prepared to give you the title of county king, which can be regarded as a reward for Tong Liancheng's loyalty.Your Royal Highness, when the time comes, don't dislike me. "

"Hehe, the county king?" Jiang Tong deliberately looked at Liao Mingsi, and said provocatively, "Then do you want to be the princess of the county? Or do you want to be the general?"

A smirk floated on Liao Mingsi's lips, and he suddenly hugged Jiang Tong up.Jiang Tong wanted to break free in a panic, and said in a low voice, "The servants are still here..."

"I just want to set a rule for them." Liao Mingsi said to Xing'an and Cuiqiao: "From now on, you are not allowed to call him cousin, and you are not allowed to call him anything else. This is your general's husband, do you understand?"

Xing'an and Cuiqiao covered their mouths and snickered, "Understood, General."

"Okay, I'll follow you, put me down!" Jiang Tong blushed to his ears shyly, but Liao Mingsi hugged him domineeringly, and strode into the inner room: "Today is the first day of moving into a new house, why not?" You have to celebrate too!"

Outside the door, Xing'an and Cuiqiao closed the courtyard door very cooperatively.

Inside the gate, the magnolia trees in the small courtyard are white and tender, with tender flowers hanging all over the branches, accompanied by thick weeping willows, full of spring scenery.

Under the eaves of the corridor in the drizzle, there were waves of warblers whispering softly, and Chunyan whispering...
