The old east wind comes to dream

After coming down to court, Emperor Tianshun was so angry that he went all the way back to the imperial study, seeing the prince was still following him from afar, he couldn't help shouting to him: "Get out of here!"

The prince didn't see any waves on his face, coughed lightly, and knelt down at the feet of Emperor Tianshun.

Emperor Tianshun kicked up and kicked the prince to the ground.Then he looked around and saw the servant girl kneeling on the ground in fright, subconsciously turned sideways to block in front of the prince, and cursed impatiently: "Get out!"

Sitting back on the dragon chair, Emperor Tianshun looked at the crown prince who was lying sideways and slowly straightening up in front of him, and couldn't help frowning again.He called Li Ruoyu and ordered: "Let me deal with those people just now! If you leak even a word about today's matter, I will kill you!"

Li Ruoyu knelt down on the ground in fright, received the order tremblingly, and crawled out.

After being silent for a long time, Emperor Tianshun looked at the prince, closed his eyes, and sighed: "Son, do you really hope that your father will die early?"

The prince coughed violently, managed to stop the cough, wiped the corners of his lips with a handkerchief, there were tears in his eyes.

After a while, the prince slowly said: "Father, the son dare not. The son's respect for his father has never changed."

Emperor Tianshun finally softened his heart when he saw how weak he was, and explained to him: "You have committed a big taboo by telling Lian Yongan to return to Beijing privately! The Dragon Knights always only listen to the emperor's orders, but he is willing Listen to your words, if you keep it in private, this is your skill. Father is old, and you have a capable confidant, so I can rest assured. But, this is from a selfish point of view!"

"In terms of the country's righteousness, the generals of the dragon riders violated the emperor. This crime can be punished by the nine clans! Lian Yong'an led the dragon riders all the way across the state and across the government. It’s almost time, but this matter has already been known to the world! The Lian family is a loyal family, and Lian Shizhi is an old official who followed your grandfather to fight the world. You made his grandson a big taboo, what should I do? Only by disposing of it can we save the face of the court, so as not to chill the hearts of his Lian family?"

"Do you really want your father to say that I called him back with his eyes closed? I can't say that!"

At the end of the sentence, Emperor Tianshun was already angry again: "Now that the northern border is suffering from a military disaster, you have involved the Lian family at such a critical juncture. Are you fooled by lard? How can you be so stupid!"

The prince listened quietly, at this moment, he showed a wry smile. "This matter is easy for my son to think about." Then he looked at Emperor Tianshun, his eyes were serious, "But father knew that Ah Che was wronged, why did he suppress this matter at this critical juncture? "

"My son knows that my father was afraid of the Fifth Emperor Uncle, so he took advantage of Ah Che's matter to demote him, which is considered to be a suppression. But now, you want him to go to the feudal clan, and the decree has been issued for more than half a month, will it have any effect? ?”

Emperor Tianshun suddenly shouted angrily: "You are presumptuous!"

However, the crown prince met his gaze without any fear, and continued to speak loudly: "Right now, Uncle Wu Huang even proposed to take the emperor's command on behalf of the emperor. There are so many people in the court who correspond, what can the father do? Go on, I'm afraid that the chaos in the northern border will cause turmoil in the world! If you use too many iron and blood methods, you will lose the hearts of the people, and it will be easier for him to take advantage of the loopholes."

Emperor Tianshun's face had completely darkened.After a long silence, he asked coldly, "Then what do you mean?"

The prince's demeanor remained unchanged, and he said with a leisurely smile: "If you want to deal with him, you have to start with him. Ah Che is his own son, so this Jiangbei incident will involve Uncle Wu Huang. But it is also because of this, Many crimes are now being forced on Ah Che's head, but Fifth Emperor Uncle was able to take advantage of the situation. Only by rectifying Ah Che's name, returning her innocence, and bringing those who are really guilty to justice can the investigation continue. That's it. , Those who follow the trend must have fear in their hearts, and in order to protect themselves, they have no choice but to tell the real mastermind."

Emperor Tianshun looked at the prince who was talking eloquently in front of him, and his brows frowned even tighter. "How do you conclude that Gu Che is innocent? The longer the matter drags on, the more changes will become. The current situation is a quick fix. Anyway, both father and son are charged with the crime, and the king of Ningling County is not innocent. The government and the public know that his reputation is not as good as it used to be. Right now, we only need to spend it slowly, so why bother to cause trouble again!"

At this point, an unbelievable thought suddenly appeared in Emperor Tianshun's mind, gloom flashed in his eyes, and he immediately covered it up, but with a seemingly indifferent smile on his face, he sighed and said: "Even if you It's true, but now that the child is dead, Gu Quan can push the crime to her once, and then push it a second time."

With a faint smile again, Emperor Tianshun continued: "Actually, according to your method, if Gu Che is still alive, it can indeed make their father and son fight. This child, Ah Che, is still stronger than her father. If she is not dead , I don't mind replacing her father with a title of knighthood. In that case, she can represent the Tian family this time and go to the front to oversee the army and support the people."

When saying these words, Emperor Tianshun kept looking at the prince's expression.Seeing that the prince's complexion changed and changed, and he hesitated to speak several times, Emperor Tianshun was more or less determined in his heart.Immediately, a wave of anger rose suddenly, the hands in the sleeves clenched into fists, the coldness in the eyes was like an arrow, wishing to nail the ineffective son in front of him!

Waving his hand, Emperor Tianshun suppressed the anger in his heart, "If you die, you are dead. We will talk about these trivial matters later."

Seeing that the prince was still about to speak, Emperor Tianshun was furious and scolded: "I will say it later, I will say it later! Prince, I warn you, don't resist the order!"

The prince was startled suddenly, and looked up at Emperor Tianshun.Only then did he realize that his father, who had always been gentle to him, was now distorted by anger.The prince's body went limp, almost unable to hold on.

Just before going out, I heard a voice coming from behind: "Death cannot be resurrected, Yuan'er, keeping Lian Yongan is the last indulgence I will give you, you should do it yourself!"

The prince held his breath and returned to the East Palace, his body went limp in an instant.The servant behind him exclaimed, and immediately ordered someone to call for the imperial doctor.The prince forced himself to wave his hand, and sternly called everyone back.

Lying on the couch, the prince slowly curled himself up.How sad, he was really deceived by lard, and once again because of his own stupidity, he hurt the person he cared about the most!

When the sleeve was tugged, a brocade handkerchief fell out of the sleeve, and it was clearly visible, stained with blood.

After the crown prince left, Emperor Tianshun couldn't hold back his anger any longer. At this moment, the effort of nourishing Qi for more than ten years was all in vain. He overturned the imperial case and smashed the imperial study to pieces.

Li Ruoyu stood outside the door, holding his neck tightly, only felt that the older the emperor, the more unpredictable his temper, and even his heart was more ruthless than when he was young.

Then, after venting, Emperor Tianshun pushed open the door of the imperial study room and walked out.

He stood under the eaves, waving tiredly.Li Ruoyu trotted over in a hurry, and heard Emperor Tianshun say: "Go, let Pei Gong deliver an order to that girl of the Chu family, saying that the queen is ill, and I will let her enter the palace immediately!"

Li Ruoyu bowed his head to accept the order, but his heart skipped a beat.General Pei Gong of the Dragon Knight Guards was not in the same line as the Lian family, and even had a disagreement with Lian Yong'an. Emperor Tianshun had always valued the Lian family in the past, and rarely directly arranged for Pei Gong to do things.At today's juncture, this will is somewhat subtle.

After Emperor Tianshun finished speaking, he turned and went back to the imperial study.Li Ruoyu naturally waited for him to leave before going to deliver the decree.When he raised his eyes, he happened to see the back of Emperor Tianshun, who was a bit bent.Before he knew it, most of the emperor's sideburns had turned white, and he was very old.

**********

Soon, in front of the gate of Gu's house, a group of dragoon guards came and surrounded the entire courtyard.

The leading general sat on the horse, waved his hand, and asked his soldiers to come forward and call for the door.

Soon, the door of the mansion opened slowly, and a servant with a dark complexion walked out, followed by a bouncing little white dog at his feet.

Pei Gong raised his chin and said, "Your Majesty has a decree to invite Mrs. Chu to enter the palace."

Bai Er bowed his head and saluted, and replied: "My mistress has been sick for a long time, and her face is haggard. Entering the palace may disturb the saint, let alone dare—"

"Nonsense!" Pei Gong interrupted him impatiently, raising the whip in his hand and saying: "This is His Majesty's oral order, this is an imperial decree! Even if her Chu family is dead, I will have to be carried into the palace by her! This general It's not a three-year-old kid, don't fool me with your words here!"

Suddenly narrowed his eyes again, "Or, is it possible that your mistress is not in the mansion at all? Could it be that this new widow of the Wang family ran to steal some wild man!"

Bai Er was furious, took a step forward, and was about to strike.At this moment, from behind the dragoon guard, there was a sneer that was not stingy. "General Pei, you are such a powerful official."

Pei Gong turned his head and opened his mouth to curse, but saw two young people, a man and a woman.

It was Fu You and his fiancee Lian Shengnan.

Ms. Lian was dressed in red, standing next to Fu You, who was also dressed in crimson uniform, and she looked incomparably suitable.

Fu You stepped forward and stood in front of Bai Er.Yanli, the little white dog who was baring her teeth and growling at Pei Gong, saw him approaching, and immediately approached him affectionately, rubbing his feet.

Lian Shengnan picked up Yanli, stroked her round head, pinched her black nose, and said, "Where is the stench coming from? Look, this little dog has been smoked!"

Pei Gong's face was livid, and he scolded angrily: "Presumptuous!"

Lian Shengnan was not afraid, and looked straight at him, "What's the matter, is General Pei still trying to take me down? I didn't violate the king's law. Could it be that the imperial decree given to you by His Majesty also gave you the innocence of the filthy man?" , Grab the rights of civilian women?"

Pei Gong couldn't bear it anymore, he raised his horsewhip again, and shouted: "I don't want to care about children like you! I came here this time to bring the Chu family into the palace. Is it possible that you are still here?" Want to resist the decree!"

From the corner of the eye, he caught sight of Lian Shengnan about to retort, Fu You hurriedly held her back, and calmly said to Pei Gong: "General Pei, please be careful with your words, you should know that misfortune comes from your mouth."

Then he turned to Pei Gong, and pointed behind him: "General Pei bears the emperor's order, so it's hard work. It's just that women are the most honorable, everyone knows that my little cousin has a noble temperament, and she will never leave her husband. The most beloved niece of the Empress Zhonggong is also the only jewel in the palm of the Tai Tuo. What you said just now is not just your own face. There are so many people around outside. It doesn’t matter if General Pei doesn’t want to be a man, but please don’t To implicate others."

Pei Gong's face turned red, but he also knew that he had made a slip of the tongue.This time the Lian family was unlucky, and that boy Lian Yongan was even tied up by his own hands, which shows that he has lost his sacred heart.Emperor Tianshun asked him to pass the decree, and such a rare event made him feel that he was overwhelmed by the Lian family, and he felt a little ecstatic.She only thought that this Chu family was the widow of the sinner Gu Che, and was abandoned by her husband's family and moved to live alone in this small courtyard, so she lost her scruples.Now with Fu You's reminder, I finally realized it.Thinking of the relationship behind the Chu family, and seeing that there are really many people watching the excitement not far away, I can't help feeling a little scared.

Forced to smile, Pei Gong said in a slow voice: "I am a rough man in the army, how can I compare with Mr. Fu's eloquence. But after all, His Majesty has an order to invite Mrs. Chu into the palace. No one can violate this point.”

There was this tit-for-tat confrontation outside the courtyard, and the main house inside the courtyard was also in chaos.

Chunhui was wearing the light-colored skirt that Chu Lan used to wear, sitting in front of the mirror and doing her makeup.

Several maidservants sent by Huamanlou were surrounding her, and one of them was anxiously persuading her. "Girl, right now, you must not go out! This time when you enter the palace, you are all familiar faces, and you will definitely reveal your secrets! Besides, there is still that extremely powerful Yixu in the palace. As long as she checks your pulse, a person like you Huang Hua's eldest daughter, her identity will be found out immediately!"

Another person hastily echoed, "Yes! At that time, how can you survive! Isn't this death for nothing?"

The little girl Chunhui's immature face was stained with determination.She smiled slightly, picked up the lipstick and put it on her lips, pursed her lips slightly, and said with firm eyes: "I will sneak out on purpose, and those dragoon guards will definitely take me to the palace. If you don't know how to enter the mansion, you can't be sure whether your wife is in the mansion or not."

"Madam must be on the way now, and will return to Beijing in a few days. As long as I can hold on during this period, when she comes back, I will say that I am just a lowly slave who fled in disorder. Madam is too sick to manage, and I will live It's because the dragoon guards outside didn't investigate in detail, and they caught the wrong person because of greed, so this matter, of course, won't involve Madam."

Facing the crowd, Chunhui smiled on her round face, as warm as her name. "As for my life, it is not a pity compared to my young master and wife." For a moment, everyone felt that her warm and gentle smile made people want to cry.

After finishing speaking, Chunhui straightened his temple hair, before the crowd recovered, he rushed out.

Outside the house, it is spring and full of vitality.
