[Rebirth] The lord wants a minister to die

When He Zhan walked into the ancestral hall, he saw He De kneeling in front of the ancestral tablet, weeping and crying, "My child didn't know this would happen, I didn't want to. It was Sun Bei... Sun Bei said nothing would happen, it has always been like this. Hai'er knows that my father always thinks I'm useless, so I'm eager to make some achievements to make my father happy. Hai'er didn't expect such a big trouble..."

"Believe in others, you are stupid! You listen to him, why don't you listen to your old man? With so many lives, you are not afraid that they will stay alive and come back at night to lock your life!"

He De was so frightened that he trembled all over and cried even more painfully.Ning Huaqiong also knelt with him, seeing him crying like this, quickly hugged He De in his arms, and cried to He Dazhong: "What's the matter! It's so good, you want your son's life!"

"Don't plead for him! I shouldn't have shielded him, I should have chopped him down, and let him confess to my ancestors of the He family!" He Dazhong pulled out the knife suddenly, and the sound of the blade was horrifying. .

Ning Huaqiong stared wide-eyed, watching He Dazhong raise the knife, tears streaming down her face, hurriedly shielding He De behind her back, shouting: "How dare you! He Dazhong, you dare to touch him!"

Seeing that He Dazhong was about to show his true intentions, He De immediately knelt down and kowtowed, crying, "I won't dare again! I know I'm wrong! I won't dare again!"

"Go away! I must kill this traitor today!"

He Zhan quickly walked forward to stop He Dazhong's knife, and said in shock, "Father, what are you doing? Are you really going to kill elder brother?"

"Zhan'er! Go away!"

"Brother is definitely not a person who kills people. There must be some misunderstanding. If you kill brother, what will mother do? Daddy has the heart to ask our He family not to get married or to be a family?" He Zhan held his hand With the handle of the knife in He Dazhong's hand, he urged urgently.

He Dazhong gasped heavily, glaring and frowning, looking at Ning Huaqiong and He De who were kneeling and weeping on the ground, finally regained some rationality after being dazed by anger.Seeing that He Dazhong let go of his hand a little, He Zhan quickly grabbed the knife from his hand and put it aside.

He De wiped his tears and said in a sobbing voice: "The child was bewitched by the adulterer and made a big mistake. I beg my father to forgive the child for the first time. I didn't want to, and I didn't expect the dam to collapse. Sun Bei told me, As long as he did what he said, the dam will be completed within half a year. After that, he gave me a lot of money, saying that it was the rest of the dam repair, and used it to honor me. I was infatuated for a while, so I kept it. I thought they were just I would deduct the wages of the river workers, but I didn't expect them to tamper with the dam, and if the child knew, he would definitely not let them do it."

He Zhan knew what happened to the dam He De was talking about.

Previously, He De failed in many trials, and He Dazhong used his connections to send him to the Ministry of Industry as a doctor. He was in charge of supervising civil engineering on weekdays.After a hundred years of He Dazhong, He De inherited the title, and it was originally a stable life.But He De was too competitive and wanted to show off in the court. It happened that the dam of Long'an City was in disrepair all year round, and the emperor ordered it to be rebuilt. Take the initiative to ask Ying to be responsible for the reconstruction.

There is a hundred workers around He De, named Sun Bei, who seizes He De's weakness of eagerness to make meritorious service, and induces He De to give and receive privately, fill his own pockets, cut corners when building dams, and make huge profits from it, thus planting the root of disaster.It rained a few days ago, the water surface became fatter, and the dam that had been repaired for just one year burst, submerging the entire Taohua Village downstream, and the entire village suffered heavy casualties.He De was so frightened that his face turned pale immediately, he had no choice but to report the matter to He Dazhong truthfully.Fortunately, He Dazhong went to Long'an to suppress the matter in person, otherwise the people who came to the capital to file a complaint would probably have flattened the entire long street.

Before He Zhan didn't know the ins and outs of the matter, he pleaded with He De, but in this life, he can't say the words of pleading again.He Zhan is not a good person. In so many lives, many souls died under his hands.His hands are not clean, but no matter how dirty, he has a bottom line.

Even if he is bewitched by others, doesn't it mean that a man as big as He De doesn't even have the ability to judge right from wrong, good from evil?With so many innocent lives in a whole village, this debt cannot be repaid by He De alone.

He Dazhong knew that He De was caught by someone's weakness, so he made such a heinous mistake.But capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped.He said angrily: "Okay, if you know your mistake, then you should pay the price! Someone, beat me, beat me hard! One hundred lashes! Anyone who dares to stop him, he will be beaten together!"

The ones who came in were not the servants, but the soldiers under Duke Zhong. They only obeyed the orders and ignored the others, and dragged He De into the courtyard mercilessly.Ning Huaqiong cried and wanted to intercede again, but was stopped by He Zhan.If he angered He Dazhong again, it would be more than a hundred lashes.

He Dazhong vented his anger on Ning Huaqiong: "One is useless and the other is not a talent, they just told you to get used to it!" He Dazhong looked at Ning Huaqiong who was kneeling on the ground crying, and then at He Zhan, He hated iron for being weak even more, snorted angrily, and walked out of the ancestral hall with his hands behind his back.

Ning Huaqiong also knew that He De had made a mistake, and she deserved the whip, but it hurt He De more than it hurt her.He De's heart-piercing screams came from outside, and every time the whip was whipped, Ning Huaqiong trembled in shock, tears couldn't be stopped, her face was pale and terrified.

He Zhan was about to help Ning Huaqiong up, but Ning Huaqiong's eyes darkened, and he passed out. He Zhan quickly caught Ning Huaqiong's soft body, and frowned fiercely.He gritted his teeth and carried Ning Huaqiong back to Qionghua Pavilion.

There was plenty of sunlight outside, but He Zhan felt cold all over his body, and his hands and feet didn't feel the slightest bit of temperature.He ordered Xiao Taohong to invite Doctor Liu to come and see her.Dr. Liu checked Ning Huaqiong's pulse, he only said that it was urgent, weak and weak, nothing serious, just prescribed a few medicines to take a good tonic.

Ning Huaqiong was in a trance, and hadn't recovered from the shock. She lay on the bed for a long time, crying from time to time.

"Your father's soldiers are heavy-handed. I don't know how to beat De'er." Thinking of this, Ning Huaqiong began to cry again, and said in a sobbing voice, "It's all my fault... for not being able to protect him..."

He Zhan took the hot medicine that Xiao Taohong handed over, and said, "Don't worry, brother is fine. After drinking this bowl of medicine, I'll go see him for you."

Ning Huaqiong nodded and drank all the medicine.

Afterwards, He Zhan went back to Nangezi to wash his face, his face reflected in the undulating water.Cold drops of water slid down his cheeks, calming his chaotic thoughts—the timing was wrong, but manageable.

He Zhan took some wound medicine and went to He De's Donggezi.When he came, He De was still lying on the bed. The doctor had just treated his wound, and the air was filled with a strong smell of medicine.He was sweating profusely in pain, frowning and screaming in pain.

He De said angrily when someone pushed the door open, "Get out! Get out!"

"I'll take a look at big brother." He Zhan walked around the screen, clasped his hands, and looked at He De's half-exposed back lightly.

He De looked blankly at him, turned his head away from He Zhan, and said, "What are you doing here? Did you see my joke?"

He Zhan nodded and said, "Yes."

He De was immediately enraged by He Zhan, and said: "Get out." He Zhan walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, trying to straighten He De's clothes, but he shouted angrily, "Don't touch me!"

He Zhan withdrew his hand, raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "Why are you so angry? You should have thought that this day would come."

"What qualifications do you have to preach to me? No matter how unbearable I am, I am still the eldest son of the Duke of Zhongguo, and the title will never be yours."

He Zhan's eyes caught a bruise on He De's back, frowning, he opened the wound medicine, dipped some liquid medicine, and helped He De gently rub the bruise away.He De grinned his teeth in pain, and cursed: "He Zhan! How dare you... hiss—"

"It gets better this way." He Zhan is very patient, and he has always been very patient with his big brother.He Zhan said: "I never thought of arguing with you. I won't now, and I won't in the future." He lightened his hand and said, "This time the dam collapsed because someone wanted to harm you. But he targeted not only It's not just you, but the entire Zhongguo Duke's Mansion. You must calm down and don't cause trouble again, and I will try my best to help you with the rest." At this point, He Zhan's throat rolled, and a thin layer of sweat formed on his forehead .He whispered: "But if Duke Zhong's mansion is really in trouble, please make sure to protect your mother."

He De's pain gradually became numb and hot, and the pain became bearable.He immediately turned cold, and said, "I tell you, now the government has classified this matter as a natural disaster, and our Zhongguo Duke's Mansion will be fine. You don't mind my business, and mind your own mouth first!"

He Zhan wiped the medicated oil on his hands, and didn't intend to waste any time talking with him: "You have a good rest."

After He Zhan returned to Nangezi, he had been lying on the bed and sleeping, and all that emerged from the darkness were the bleak scenes of Duke Zhong's mansion.If he had any regrets in his previous life, not being able to keep the Zhongguo Duke's Mansion was one of them.

Outsiders say that He Dazhong got his fortune thanks to Ning Huaqiong, but He Dazhong's mansion is Zhongguo Duke's mansion, not the Princess' mansion, and he owes his status today to his own ability.In the early years, He Dazhong held a large army, and the emperor was very afraid of this uncle, and over the years he tried to weaken the military power in He Dazhong's hands.He Dazhong knew what the king was afraid of, so he simply handed over all his military power, and quietly became a prince of the country.

But once the tiger has its teeth pulled out, it is easy to kill it.

He Dazhong thought that he could win the trust of the emperor by handing over the military power, so he spoke bluntly in the court, although it was loyal, it was harsh.His political opponents in the court and in the middle of the country participated in a book called "Theory of Power Gathering", listing all the things about his relatives gaining power in the past, and persuading the emperor to be vigilant with blood and tears.When the emperor saw the memorial, he still wondered who it was talking about, and suddenly remembered He Dazhong who always contradicted him during the court meeting, and suddenly realized.He realized that the government of Zhongguo could not stay.

The emperor turned a blind eye to the political struggle, and those who had always been unaccustomed to He Dazhong immediately sharpened their swords.But after all, He Dazhong was an important minister of the imperial court. He attacked from the outside and showed his face of killing donkeys too thoroughly, so he could only make the Duke Zhong's mansion collapse from the inside.

So they set their sights on He De.

In the previous life, He De was bewitched by Sun Bei, a hundred worker beside him, and took the life of a village; He Dazhong was eager to love his son, so he suppressed this matter.Originally, the dam incident was blamed on natural disasters, and the matter could be left alone, but he didn't want He De to kill Sun Bei by accident, committing a murder, and someone went to Beijing to stop the sedan chair to file a complaint. The investigation of He De's corruption and acceptance of bribes and He Dazhong's perverting the law for personal gain came to light.

After the emperor learned the truth, Longyan was furious, and immediately sent the imperial guards to arrest He Dazhong and He De and put them in prison.

Ning Huaqiong knelt outside the palace for three days and three nights, begging the emperor to forgive He Dazhong on the Internet for his hard work.The emperor thought of his merits, and also took into account the relationship between himself and his aunt, so "extrajudicial grace" spared him the death penalty.

During those days, Duke Zhong's mansion seemed to be in dire straits.I thought that as long as I saved my life, the Duke of Zhongguo's mansion would have a comeback day, so there was still hope.But what Ning Huaqiong waited for was the news that He Dazhong and He De committed suicide in fear of crime in the prison.At that time Ning Huaqiong knelt for several days and was already very weak. After hearing the news, all thoughts were lost and she passed out immediately. After that, she lay in bed for several months and died of depression.And Xueniang hanged herself on the day He Dazhong committed suicide. In the end, only He Zhan and He Chu brothers and sisters were left in the entire Zhongguo Gongfu—He Zhan was sent to the frontier, and He Chu was accused of being a concubine for an enemy official. room.

He Zhan didn't even dare to think about those days.Now that I experience it myself again, it is as difficult as being in a frying pan.

If he hadn't finally had the opportunity to become a central figure in the court in his previous life, he would never have understood how those people pushed their Duke of Zhongguo's mansion into ruin step by step.

This time he must strike first, and must not be in a passive position again.
