Shaodi Chunxin

Before Fu Yuanqing finished speaking, Cao Banan's expression changed: "When you were in charge of Beizhen Fusi, they didn't dare to use such a clumsy strategy. It's because the villain is shallow..."

"You don't need to blame yourself so much." Fu Yuanqing said, "If you care about it, you will be chaotic, half-safe."

He thought for a while: "I will leave the palace with you, and go to Beizhen Fusi."

"It may not be easy for the ancestor to leave the palace now."

Fu Yuanqing walked out of the main room and saw the eaves of the Hall of Mental Cultivation outside the Yongshou Palace, and the palace lanterns were lit under the eaves: "Your Majesty should get up, I'm going to ask for an order to leave the palace."

"I change clothes for my ancestors."

The young emperor woke up from the severe pain.

He was dripping with cold sweat, clutching his left chest and trembling uncontrollably.

"Don't move." Baili said solemnly beside his couch, "I will give His Majesty an injection to relieve the pain."

After saying that, he opened his skirt, stained his intact left chest with potion, and then lifted off a piece of human skin, revealing a little whiter skin underneath, near the heart, there were countless savage incisions. On it, there are layers upon layers, old wounds have not healed and new wounds are reappeared, and there are traces of festering in summer.

However, Shaodi's pain repeatedly came from the inside out, and the pain was unbearable, not just caused by trauma.

With a serious expression on his face, Baili began to administer acupuncture to relieve the pain.

"How long has your majesty been in such frequent pain?" Baili asked him.

"Since the emperor's double cultivation with my father." The young emperor said in a cold sweat, "Is there any question for you to ask this?"

Seeing him bewildered, Baili Shi sighed: "A few days ago, Fu Zhangyin also summoned me to ask about the Great Wilderness Jade Scripture."

"I know." The young emperor mentioned this matter, and there was still some pain in it, "I have worked hard for many years to save his life, but he didn't cherish it and abandoned Chen Jingru's shoes. Hehe... I also want to understand why I have to be so self-deprecating Self-deprecating, why bother. Since I like my father, I should do this kind of thing myself! Now... isn't he enjoying it too? Hehe..."

His last two laughs were tinged with madness.

"Your Majesty... I never thought that there would be such severe pain... But... the end is approaching?" Baili asked him.

The young emperor was stunned, and another sharp pain came from his heart. After a long time, he stopped trembling, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "He lives in Yongshou Palace and responds to me gently. My father and I have already connected our hearts."

Bailishi used a clean thin knife to dig out the carrion, and then stitched it up to stop the bleeding. Then he sighed: "Your Majesty has wisdom far beyond ordinary people, so why deceive yourself and others."

The young emperor was silent for a while, and then slowly asked him: "Bailishi, what exactly is the real connection of mind, two people regardless of each other, and the unity of heaven and man? What does it look like to share Tianshou?"

"There is no detailed statement in the Great Wilderness Jade Scripture." Baili Shi said, "No one knows what it looks like. It's just that it has been achieved, so you will know it naturally."

"...If you really achieve it, you will know it." The young emperor laughed in a low voice, "I am not afraid of death. I have figured it out a long time ago... Otherwise, I would not choose such a path and do such a heaven-defying thing."

Bailishi didn't speak, and washed the wound with gauze.

"It's just that I don't understand... I really don't understand..." He sighed, "Why can't I win the slightest bit of love from my father? Does he really love Zhao Jin that much? Or Chen Jing?"

"Has Your Majesty ever thought of other possibilities?" Baili asked him.

"other?"

"Fu Zhangyin once said something to me..." Baili Shi sighed.

——The court is turbulent, people's hearts are changing, and the forces are about to change. If I don't pay attention, I will lose my life... I love Chen Jing, even if we can share the longevity.Life geometry, I can not figure it out.If I die, Chen Jing will die too.I can't let him die with me because of the word 'love'.

"Your Majesty never thought that Chen Jing would not be implicated with Fu Zhangyin's resolute character, let alone you?" Bailishi asked him, "Maybe you have wronged your ancestor."

Bailishi wrapped his chest with gauze and said to him: "It's too hot in midsummer now, so the fake human skin can't be covered anymore. Otherwise, covering the wound won't heal. The blood of my heart has been taken to the limit. How do you get blood from such wounds? If you can’t connect with each other, and you can’t share your life, Your Majesty may be..."

When Baili wanted to give more instructions, he heard Debao say in the hallway: "Master, the old ancestor brought Cao Bingbi to ask for an audience in Baoxia. Something happened outside the palace, and the old ancestor wanted to go out of the palace to visit Beizhen. manage."

event……

The young emperor took a few glances at the "Worry and Debate on Traitors" that had just been submitted by Dongchang's spies and put it on his side.

Already understood.

Debao waited for a long time, but he didn't hear anything, and tried again: "The old ancestor's health is not very good recently, why don't the servants go and ask the old ancestor to rest in Yongshou Palace? There are Fang Bingbi and Master Lai outside the palace."

"I'm going with him." The young emperor struggled to sit up, "Come in and change my clothes."

Debao replied yes, and when he came in, he wanted to change into the dragon clothes for the emperor. The young emperor shook his head: "Go and get Chen Jing's clothes."

Debao was stunned: "Master..."

"It's unreasonable that the Son of Heaven is not in the Forbidden City. Let's go in private." Shaodi coughed twice, and then felt more pain in his chest.

"You just had heart palpitations, and the wound has just been stitched up. You shouldn't move anymore." Bailishi advised him.

"He has such a stubborn temper, even if I don't allow it, he will find a way to go." The young emperor said, "I don't worry about letting him go alone. You will go out with Debao later."

With a pale face, he stood up with Debao's support, gasped for a while, and then managed to stand up straight: "Changing clothes."

Baili Shi sighed, picked up the medicine box, saluted and left.

Fu Yuanqing didn't wait long under the pagoda when the door of Zhongzhengrenhe Hall opened.

"Chen Jing?" Cao Ban'an was startled when he saw the person coming.

As soon as Fu Yuanqing raised his eyes, he saw the young emperor coming out from inside, holding the familiar mask of General Tian in his hand, he bowed: "Your Majesty."

Only then did Cao Ban'an realize that it was the young emperor who came out, and quickly knelt down.

The young emperor asked Fu Yuanqing: "Father did not mistake me for Chen Jing?"

Fu Yuanqing was silent for a moment and said: "Your Majesty forgot, what you said...Chen Jing is gone."

At this time, the young emperor was still pale, so he put on a mask and said briefly: "Let's go. I will accompany you to Beizhen Fusi."

Beizhen Fusi was brightly lit. Lai Liqun waited anxiously at the gate of the yamen. After walking back and forth several times, he saw the carriage with palace lanterns approaching. After the carriage was parked, Fu Yuanqing, Shaodi and Cao Banan got off the carriage, Lai Liqun knelt on one knee and said: "Old Ancestor, Cao Bingbi, his subordinates failed to live up to their trust, and death is inevitable."

"Lord Lai, you don't have to do that." Fu Yuanqing helped him up, "Take me to the prison to have a look, let's talk as we go."

A group of people went to prison.

Heng Zhiye's cell was on the first basement floor, with half a window allowing him to get sunlight.Not only that, all kinds of items in his cell are readily available, and it can be seen that he has been treated very well.

Now everything is smashed, the bedding is shredded, and the books are torn to powder.

Heng Zhiye fell into it and was stabbed in the heart, bleeding to death.

His eyes were wide open, his face was ferocious, and he looked like he was dying.

Near the stone wall, there is a big injustice written.

It was he who wrote it in blood before he died, and now the blood is coagulated, making it look extraordinarily gloomy.

"Cao Bingbi entrusted us, we didn't balance our ambitions." Lai Liqun said, "I'm afraid that the students outside will make trouble. I also sent someone to watch at [-] o'clock. If there were not too many posts today, I was in a moment of anxiety, so I mobilized people to go out. How could he fall into the trap of a traitor. Let someone kill Heng Zhiye. It's his subordinate's dereliction of duty!"

"Where is the person who killed him?" Cao Ban'an asked.

"The thief was chased and intercepted by us, and he died near the East Bianmen."

"It's too deliberate." Fu Yuanqing looked at the clues, got up and said, "It's already Yin time, and the people in the vicinity are already up and ready to do their work. He is doing his work over there, so he naturally attracts attention. Word of mouth, things will be known. If it spreads, no one can stop it."

"Yes...the subordinates also know." Lai Liqun said worriedly.

"How many copies of today's "Debates on Traitors" are published, have you counted them?" The young emperor, who was disguised as Chen Jing, said suddenly.

Lai Liqun gave him a strange look, but subconsciously replied: "There are [-] copies that have been confiscated. This is only traceable. There are more scattered among the people. It is estimated that nearly [-] copies have been distributed."

"There are so many posters in a short period of time, and it's not engraved in a factory. There must be a centralized printing place. Where is it?" Shaodi asked again.

"Mr. Fangchang has arranged for Dongchang Kong Zhangxing to search it." Lai Liqun said, "It's in Zhoufeng Academy."

Zhoufeng Academy.

The place where Yan Jifan gave lectures before.

When Master Pu passed away, the first place where the ballad of Qingyun covering the sun came out.

One of the gathering places of Dongxiang party students.

As soon as these four words came out, the faces of the people present all changed.

"Previously "Temple Worry and Danger" was only limited to court officials, and the spread was not large. Within a day, the second post came, and the content was very provocative. Some people thought it was done by someone." Fu Yuanqing opened the mouth.

"Do you think it's Heng Zhiye?" Lai Liqun asked.

Fu Yuanqing looked at Heng Zhiye's body on the ground: "Heng Zhiye died. He didn't commit suicide, but was killed. He wrote a letter of injustice in blood, and the person who killed him died at Dongbianmen. These things can't be covered, and soon It will spread. As for whether he wrote "Debate of Traitors" or arranged for someone to send it out, is the truth really important?"

"After Heng Zhiye lost his official position and returned to Dongxiang, he founded Dongxiang Academy and became one of the spiritual leaders of Shilin. A large number of Shilin students and officials supported him, and he was crowned with the title of living saint. He died at this time, It is inseparable from "Debate of Traitors". Now, even the place where the engraving is placed in Zhoufeng College is fine, and Dongchang's raid on Zhoufeng College is clearly seen. His death will only be regarded as Fu Yuanqing. Find someone to be a scapegoat and die wronged. It will definitely anger a large number of students gathered in the surrounding academies...Master Lai, how many students are there in the capital because of Master Pu's funeral and Enxuan?"

"...About ten thousand." Lai Liqun's face turned pale, "The negligence of the subordinate is the negligence of the subordinate. If Heng Zhiye is still alive..."

"The mastermind has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time." Fu Yuanqing said, "It's not your fault, nor Ban'an's. No one can avoid such a series of tricks. You can only take one step at a time. Dangerous situation, have to go."

"The matter of the students is easy to handle. We have [-] households in the Four Guards Camp, which is considered to be the town's residence." Cao Ban'an said.

Fu Yuanqing shook his head: "Once the students are provoked, they are not afraid of bleeding. But they are all talents who will be the pillars of the future. Whether it is the Four Guards Camp or the Jinyiwei, how can they bear to raise their hands and swing their knives at unarmed students? Besides, they are It's coming towards me...it won't end so easily."

He looked up at the silent young emperor.

The young emperor's face was hidden behind the mask of General Tian.

"Once someone with a heart in the court takes advantage of the student movement, echoes inside and outside the court, and forces His Majesty to thoroughly investigate the traitor... Even His Majesty the Emperor will have to make a careful decision."

The young emperor's voice was a little hoarse: "What to choose?"

"Is it to protect one person?" Fu Yuanqing smiled with some relief, "Or to protect the loyalty of scholars in the world?"

The young emperor's eyes were red: "Does it need to be said? There is only one answer."

"That's right. In fact, there is only one answer from the beginning to the end." Fu Yuanqing sighed softly: "I saw that the waves were gentle in Jieshi, but when the waves reached the shore, even if the waves didn't want to, they couldn't. In the end, I was helplessly shoved and crushed on the rocks. Some choices can be chosen, but even the Son of Heaven cannot choose some choices."

So what Bailishi said was true.

Sometimes pushing someone away is not because you don't care or don't cherish them.

The last piece of cake in a famine, a bowl of soup when you are seriously ill, and a bowl of porridge for alms. What you get in exchange for begging for mercy is the survival of the person who cares most about people, even if you live a little longer... Even the people who are crushed into the dust in the world have something to protect Precious life.

Fu Yuanqing had already seen the possible way back.

The emperor remembered that morning, when he came back from Pu's house and walked to Duanmen, Fu Yuanqing sat on the car, tucked his sleeves in his hands, and said the words calmly and gently.

——I cherish the young emperor, and I can feed him with my body.

At that time, he was dazzled by the word "cherishing", and couldn't control himself in joy.

Now that I think about it again... I realized that such words carried a promise of a thousand weights, and contained the love of hundreds of rivers entering the sea.

He is shallow.

No one knew that under the mask of General Tian, ​​tears rolled down the emperor's cheeks.
