Hypocrites

Arriving at the Yangshi Hall, Xinzhou waited outside alone, presumably looking for an opportunity to send Siji and the others away, seeing Shen Yu coming up the steps with an armored guard, the guard took off his mask, revealing Liang Heng's face .His complexion turned from pale to red, and he entered the palace without saying a word, unexpectedly shutting the two of them out.

Immediately, there was the sound of smashing and kicking inside. Y. U. X. I.

What's going on here?Xinzhou looked at Shen Yu.

Shen Yu never expected that this fruitless visit would bring Liang Heng such great excitement.Although he himself admitted that he was shocked by the iron house.The sky is big and the earth is big, and the person who paints the ground as a prison is the biggest, and Liang Heng has nothing to do with Wen Yao.

But Wen Yao's fall into this situation is absolutely inseparable from the late emperor's connivance with the misconduct of the three eunuchs.If the three eunuchs hadn't set off the disaster of party imprisonment, why would these Qingliu veterans kill themselves to show their ambitions?

And Liang Heng didn't even have a chance to make up for it now.

Maybe he thought of Shen Jin, the former teacher whose soul returned to Ruyang, or maybe when he faced the youngest of the Wen family and Shen Yu, he never felt guilty and remorseful for a moment.

Probably something like a porcelain cup hit the door of the palace, and there was a loud shattering sound.

After going crazy for a while, calm down.

Xinzhou walked in, but Liang Heng's voice could not be heard. After a while, he came out with a pile of broken porcelain in his pocket, took a look at Shen Yu, and went to the side hall.

The side hall of the Yangshi Hall has always been closed, no one comes in and out, and there are copper locks on the door.Shen Yu paid attention to it a few times, but he didn't know what was locked inside. Right now, Xinzhou was holding broken porcelain in both hands, and the key was hanging on his waist. He stood in front of the lock and glanced at Shen Yu again—the meaning was obvious, and asked Shen Yu to open the door for him. .

There was no light in the side hall, and a layer of dust was stirred up when the door was opened.Three rooms deep, four rows of lotus foundation beams and pillars, the huge space is full of discarded objects, most of which are broken porcelain and bricks, smashed and deformed copper furnace lamps and so on.Sometimes a few boxes.

Xinzhou threw the broken porcelain cup into the debris pile, and opened a wooden box in front of Shen Yu.

The smell of stale ink and moldy paper ash hits the face, and it is a fragmented scream staying on the hemp paper.

Shen Yu instantly understood why the Forbidden Palace existed - to hide the emperor's shameful despair and madness.

Shen Yu thought of the desk in Tianlu Pavilion that was covered in finger marks by Liang Heng, and couldn't figure out how Liang Heng could become like this.Then he saw two objects in the other box - one was a square gold lump with a majestic dragon-shaped beast button standing on it, and the other was an ordinary wooden tablet, Put it together with the Jinxi, and the ash on the veneer will change color.

Shen Yu quietly wiped away the thin dust.

Even if the high-rise buildings are turbulent, my king is at the end of the floating clouds.

Liang Heng sat hugging his knees in front of the window of the foster room, the brick floor was cold.The thin sunlight penetrated through the lozenges, intertwining shadows on his cheeks like embroidery.

Decadence and exhaustion are all safely hidden under the skin, slowly absorbed into the blood, and flowed back to the chest cavity.After this process is completed, Liang Heng will be able to return to normal for a short time. Xinzhou has gotten used to his silence, and will faithfully accompany him as a mute.

Someone slowly approached, and his shadow was reflected under the window.

Liang Heng thought it was Xinzhou until Shen Yu knelt beside him and put his hand on his knee.

"..." Liang Heng stared at Shen Yu's eyes, facing the light, his eyes were as clear and clear as mountain springs, "I rarely do this, don't be afraid."

Something seemed to have changed in Shen Yu's body, and he put away the spikes that had made Liang Heng helpless during this period of time.

He leaned closer and asked softly, "What is this?"

Liang Heng caught a glimpse of what he was holding in his hand, but just as he vented, his mind was blank at this moment, and his reaction was a beat slower: "Yes...it's Jinxi."

Then he thought, how did Shen Yu discover Jin Xi?

"When I first looked back at the capital, Deng Yang told me," Shen Yu's hand on Liang Heng's lap was not strong enough, but he couldn't dodge sideways, "The golden seal was stolen by the thieves. With nothing to do, the government was paralyzed for a while. But today I found the golden seal by the side of the king's bedroom, please tell me, could it be that the thief returned it?"

Liang Heng didn't know what to say.

"...Yeah... I thought so too... Who knew they didn't care?"

He reached out to touch Shen Yu's shoulder, and seeing that he finally stopped hiding, he cautiously stuffed himself into his arms. "I'm sorry." Liang Heng pinched Shen Yu's shoulder, as if he wanted to pry open his shell, and cut out his bloody sincerity.

The back in his arms was like a thin ridge, and Shen Yu slowly rubbed his palm: "Is there anything else you haven't told me?"

"what's up?"

"The offal in the side hall."

"..."

"Why have you lost your temper so much?" Shen Yu asked casually.

Liang Heng sat up straight and stared into his eyes.

"His Majesty?"

See you in a rough voice from Niu Shida on the outer corridor.

"I don't want to see him," Liang Heng said, "If you drive him away, I will tell you."

Without saying a word, Shen Yu went out with his sword in hand, and after a while there was a commotion outside.Niu Shida was arrogant, talking like a quarrel, but Shen Yu's voice could hardly be heard, followed by the clang of sword drawn.It was quiet outside the corridor.

Then Zou Fang and several station guards were sent to the hall by Shen Yu and guarded outside the door.

When Shen Yu came in again, Liang Heng sat on the edge of the mat, with his back leaning on his elbows, looking at people with his eyes squinted in a relaxed posture.

"Look at what?"

"Look at you," Liang Heng smiled, "Brother Yu, do you treat me well because I am the emperor, or because I am Liang Heng?"

Shen Yu didn't say a word, he went to his left and knelt down, putting his long sword aside.

"Some people treat me well in order to get more from me. However, Brother Yu, I always deprive you of your life and never give you anything. The day you received the badge and entered the palace, I was thinking, what if One day I will no longer be the master of the Golden Palace, everyone will leave me, but Shen Yu will not."

"Will you?" Liang Heng asked, "If you say no, I'll tell you."

Although he had a smile on his face, Shen Yu noticed that his fingers were grabbing the fur edge of the mat, and his knuckles turned white from the force.

"Actually, I'm not a descendant of the Liang family." Liang Heng said.

Shen Yu suspected that he had heard a brilliant joke, and then Liang Heng said: "Nor is the late emperor. The thief you mentioned was originally me, and it can also be said to be my father."

The king of Zhangshan, Liang Buhai, married the daughter of the Xie family and gave birth to the eldest son as his son.Because the eldest son was born, the king of Liang named him "my son" in order to support him.At that time, there was also a maid in the mansion who was married to the master of the palace and gave birth on the same day as the princess. I don't know if it was because of bad age or bad luck, or something else, she gave birth to a stillborn baby due to dystocia.

Fortunately, the son of the concubine lived and the son of the maid died. If the situation was reversed, how many people would be angered by this unborn son.

If the essence of the sun and the moon are limited in one day, and one prince and grandson are conceived, they will not be able to take care of the other, and ordinary people will just talk about it after dinner, and pass away sighing.Only the maid whose child died couldn't make it through, and finally went mad, saying that her son didn't die young, but was taken away by someone, and of course her husband would take him home and lock him up.Since that day, there have been rumors in the palace that the two sons were born on the same day, how can you tell whether I am noble or humble?

This groundless rumor blew into the ears of the prince and princess. Fortunately, the husband and wife are not narrow-minded people, so they just laughed it off and didn't pursue it.That's why the rumors can't be stopped all the time, and they have been discussing in private until the son grows up, and the year of the weak crown ushers in the crape myrtle star - Wangdu Wangcheng sent envoys to welcome the son into Zhangyi Palace.

The malignant tumor hidden under the bright surface of the Zhangshan Prince's Mansion broke out overnight.

Originally, the birth of the eldest son has been criticized, so it doesn't matter if he inherits the Zhangshan Prince's Mansion in the future, after all, he is just an idle prince, and the one who will inherit now is Daqi Guozuo!

In the same day, two women had dystocia, and gave birth to two sons, one died and the other lived. It happened that the one who should live lived, and the one that didn't matter died.No one knows whether the one who will sit on the throne in the future will be the son of the maid who should have been born as a slave!

Three people become tigers, and one mouth makes gold.Rumors were raging, and they were finally passed on to the envoys of the Royal City, intentionally or unintentionally.At that time, Guangluqing Han Wei sent to welcome Liang Weizi's Zhongchang servant, named Shan Guan.Shan Guan brought three followers, one named Niu Shida, one named Tong Fang, and one named Qiu Zhiyuan.

Emperor Wu Liang Xuan had no heirs, so in order not to tarnish his lineage, he had to choose carefully when adopting the clan's sons.In order to verify the identity of Liang Weizi, these four people did a lot of work. The method used on Shi Ziwei 20 years ago will also be used on his son 20 years later.

It's just that these methods do not prove the integrity of the royal family, but are for their own self-interest, holding the weakness of the father and son in their hands, and manipulating a generation of emperors like puppets.

One year ago, the Ling Emperor passed away, and in the bright hall where the sacrifices were made, the beams were surrounded by plain hemp, and all eyes were pale.Tong Fang took the wooden box enshrined under the tablet of Emperor Wu, and opened it in front of the soon-to-be enthroned Prince Heng.

Inside is a wrench finger, bone white in color.Da Qi's people are familiar even to ordinary people - Emperor Wu once cut off a little finger for the enemy when he fought on the battlefield. In order to show his military exploits, he made a bone ring out of the little finger bone.This ring finger was often accompanied by the emperor's side during his lifetime, and was enshrined in the temple after his death.

Recognizing relatives by dripping bones, non-royal orthodox blood cannot be dissolved in Emperor Wu's bone ring.

Liang Heng was told the truth that day, followed by the irresistible shackles imposed on him by the three eunuchs.

"The maid in the royal residence is not insane. If she hadn't been confined to her home, she might not have escaped bad luck. Her husband also resigned from the position of chief bookkeeper soon, and the two of them were ordered not to leave the house. Food and water were delivered every day. It was like a prison. When Shanguan found them, the two of them stayed at home for 18 years. That couple, together with Emperor Wu's bone ring, became my father's life-saving talisman. Can you believe it? The mere eunuchs are so patient, waiting until I My father worked so hard to eradicate the relatives of the Korean family, thinking that it was his turn to be in charge and in power, so he presented evidence and took away all his positions in one fell swoop."

After a pause, Liang Heng shook his head, and said: "When I came to the throne, the sycophants will be more obvious. The first emperor had the palace as his backer, even if the three eunuchs had witnesses, he would not act rashly. And I, what is the king of Liang like?" I don't know, but in terms of genealogy, I am the Dazong, and the King of Liang is the Xiaozong, so there is no relationship. The former Emperor Bintian, on the other side of Zhangshan, may have loosened the jurisdiction over the master and his wife. Let's go, the lord and the concubine may not think that they are going to deal with me."

After telling everything, Liang Heng realized that the atmosphere was too stagnant, smiled indifferently, and said: "I'm just waiting for the day when those three people will kick me out and become the emperor by themselves. By then, Brother Yu, you You can take me in, whether you go back to Ruyang to teach, or hide your name, don't leave me alone."

Shen Yu walked a few steps on his knees and arrived in front of Liang Heng.He stared at Liang Heng's smiling face, which he couldn't even pretend to be good at, and felt that he was holding Yin Xi's hand tightly, separated his fingers one by one, and held them in his hands.

Liang Heng was stunned, then fell into a warm embrace, and finally sobbed softly as he leaned on his familiar chest.
