Hypocrites

The lights were brightly lit in the third watch, and Liang Heng sat there till midnight before he woke up and said, "He's gone?"

Only Xinzhou was with him, and Xinzhou knew who he was talking about, so he nodded.But Liang Heng didn't look at him, as if he had asked a question, but already had an answer in his heart.

People are always coming and going, and there are very few people left to wait for him.

"Mr. Cui..." Liang Heng said to himself, "I almost can't remember what he looks like. Mr. Xie, he seems to be a handsome man, but I don't have much impression. As for Mr. Ma He, I don't seem to have heard of him. Lectured, and left within a few days after arriving in Wangducheng."

"If he didn't mention it today, I might forget about it." Liang Heng looked at the sky outside, "Is it time to rest?"

Xinzhou helped him up, his legs were numb after sitting for a long time, Liang Heng slowly moved to the bedroom.

The three sides of the high couch are surrounded by screens, depicting famous mountains and rivers, civil servants and military generals, and Xuanyuan mirror hanging above the head shining brightly.Liang Heng lay down and saw his blurred reflection on the bronze mirror, and suddenly thought of his father lying on the same bed, looking at the face reflected in the same Xuanyuan mirror.

And what will the father's face look like?

Could it be that he had been so confused before?What happened around you, people who passed by, didn't pay attention to it?

What has he forgotten?Liang Heng slowly curled up, hugged his head, and recalled the things before Shen Yu came to him, the things after he came, and the things after he left...

After Shen's execution, the crown prince's confinement order was lifted, and the guards patrolling the palace were withdrawn overnight.However, Liang Heng had no interest in life at that time and stayed at home. One day Lian Zhen rushed to ask him for help, and went to the palace to save his father Lian Bi.

Taiwei Lian Tielang spoke out for Shen Jin's righteousness, and was punished with a cane. Since then, he has been recuperating at home. Unexpectedly, when he was ill, he heard that Shen Jin's whole family had been slaughtered.

"What else can he do? People can't be resurrected after death, and they can't go to the palace to yell at them. Don't they have to be punished again? Your Highness, you go and take a look for me, but don't let my father hit a rock or a stone. Broken to pieces! If His Majesty gets angry, please intercede for him!"

Lian Zhen is really stupid, he thinks Liang Heng's words have any weight?But he really couldn't help it.

When Liang Heng arrived outside the Golden Luan Hall, the three generals were all there.Niu Shida was as strong as a wall, standing in front of Liang Heng.

"Your Highness, stop, His Majesty is discussing matters with the Taiwei."

"I know, you go and report."

Qiu Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Your Highness, please be patient, it will be soon."

How was it different that day?Liang Heng remembered that the wind was very strong that day, as he went up the stairs, there was a roar outside the Jinluan Hall, blowing the skirts of everyone flying and blowing their hair.For example, when Shen Jin left Wangdu City, the evil wind blew up her skirt, Shen Yu flattened it for his father, Liang Heng could see clearly from the city wall.

Before Qiu Zhiyuan finished speaking, the door of the Golden Luan Hall opened, and two warriors in the hall dragged Lian Bi out by holding Lian Bi at both sides.Lian Bi's hair crown was crooked, his white hair was covered with paste, and the wind beat him so hard that he couldn't open his eyes.

"What's wrong!" Liang Heng asked hurriedly.

Qiu Zhiyuan took his words: "What's wrong?"

Bushido said: "Your Majesty has ordered that the Taiwei Lianbi Jindian make noise and speak rudely, and he will be punished thirty times."

Liang Heng's eyes went dark.Lian Bi is getting old, and the old wound from the last rod punishment is still there, adding another [-], it is true that he will not die or be disabled.Looking at Qiu, Niu, and Tong, they didn't take it seriously at all, and they were taken away with a wave of their hands.

"Wait! Stop!" Liang Heng shouted.

"My son."

A gloomy voice came from the golden palace, like a five-fingered mountain, pressing down on Liang Heng.

Lian Bi was still struggling under the steps and shouted: "Historian Zhizhi! In the ninth year of Rencheng, the emperor killed Wuzui County Shoujin and Taiwei Biye!"

Tong Fang couldn't hear it: "Take it away, take it away!"

The emperor dragged his sick body slowly out of the golden palace, as if the sun was about to burn a hole in his pale face which had not been seen for a long time.His gloomy and bottomless eyes fell on his son, cold, making Liang Heng feel that his father was like a ghost about to disappear.

Lian Bi's angry declaration fell into the emperor's ears, and Liang Xuan smiled faintly.Liang Wei, the son of the prince of Zhangshan who was lonely and helpless in the past, has disappeared without a trace. Standing here is the supreme authority of the country.

History books will not leave a single word or phrase, and the historian writes a book for the royal family.

The wind blows the clothes away, and the public will be punished every year, and the public will die every year.

"My son," Liang Xuan leaned on the delicately carved base in the deep and dull golden palace, with a short-lived mole on his lips, retreating to the left and right, leaving only his son behind, "Why are you here today?"

Liang Heng Nuonuo was speechless.

"See how many days your father has left to live?"

Ordinary people who have been ill for a long time without medical treatment have many taboos, but Liang Xuan doesn't mind it at all.

"Just wait, it's only a few days away."

Liang Heng said dryly: "Please rest assured, there is no disease in the world that cannot be cured, only doctors who can't cure it. The worst thing is to advertise and recruit famous doctors from all over the world..."

Liang Xuan snorted.

After a moment of silence, Liang Heng finally understood that his father was not complaining about himself, but had accepted the fact that he was not long in the world.

Liang Xuan coughed, and said: "Your father left his biological parents at the age of twenty, and came to this unaccompanied world. If there is no duckweed, another 20 years will have passed. The only way to give birth to a You are connected by blood. Heng'er, your father will pass away soon, leaving you alone, and lonely like I was back then, what are you going to do?"

When did Liang Xuan say such a long sentence to himself, Liang Heng was so stunned that he forgot to answer.

Liang Xuan snorted coldly: "Most people in the world can't be trusted. If you are in a high position, you should be ruthless. If you are an emperor and are coerced by others, you will inevitably end up with millions of corpses and blood flowing."

"……Yes."

"Eunuchs are the most unbelievable," Liang Xuan said coldly, "a villain is always complacent when he achieves his ambitions, and the country does not reward him. He is more tyrannical and wanton than his relatives. The purpose of being a father is to keep your own ministers for you. There are more talented people in the world than four in Shenyang." Home, so I ordered the fourth teacher to give lectures for you, so as to be of the same sect. Unexpectedly, you did not live up to your expectations, and you left three in a row..."

Liang Xuan had chest tightness and shortness of breath, Liang Heng served him some hot tea to relieve his breath.

"Leave a serious person, the most open-minded and open-minded, he can bear you, and he can teach you with all his heart. It's good. It's a pity that his son has too much control and tried to use the prince for profit. As a father, he had to leave his family. Put it outside, lest you become a sword in someone else's hand and not notice it."

The voice in Liang Heng's heart said, that's not the case, no one wants to use me.And the father couldn't hear it at all.

"If you can't keep any of the four masters in the world, who else can be your helper?" Liang Xuan hated that iron cannot be made into steel.

"Shen..."

Liang Heng said a word, but was interrupted by his father: "Shen Jin's idea is too big, and the students who worship under him are called as members of the Dragon Gate. Except for the disciples of the Son of Heaven, who dares to use such a title? He is dead. It's useless to say more."

"The Tai Tuo could have entrusted him, but he is as timid as a mouse."

Zou Qing was scared to death by the emperor, and when Liang Xuan mentioned this person, his tone was full of regret and frustration.It seems that Zou Qing was originally the minister he chose to support Gu, and it was not his wish to encounter an accident.

"The only person you can rely on right now is your uncle," Liang Xuan looked at his son, "you have to trust him and not be suspicious. Duan Boyu is different from Han Wei, who has nothing to do with your father, but Duan Boyu He is your mother's brother and a relative of your mother's family. For the sake of blood relatives, he will definitely help you with all his heart."

Between the words, he was actually arranging the funeral. Liang Heng was startled, and leaned over to grab his father's hand, which felt slippery and cold to the touch.

Liang Xuan pulled out his hand and signaled his son not to interrupt: "The three permanent attendants in the palace, make false claims with them, and don't make them suspicious. Eunuchs are the most hateful, show them weak, and use them as excuses!"

Liang Xuan's pale face was filled with blood, and his anger ignited the last anger in his chest, almost burning his son to death.He stared at Liang Heng closely, with an indistinct light hidden deep in his eyes, Liang Heng's teeth trembled, bit the tip of his tongue, and replied: "I see, father."

What Liang Heng thought at that time was that Liang Xuan must not know that he had seen Qiu Zhiyuan's true face in Beisi Prison.

But maybe Liang Xuan didn't need to know, he already knew who the third doctor was.No one understood better than Liang Xuan that it was he who single-handedly raised these three wolves, tigers and leopards.

At the end of the year, it is time to settle accounts after autumn.Hundreds of officials announced that they went to the Golden Palace, there was a huge crowd when they went, and it was scattered when they returned, the students of Shenmen and Mamen were demoted and punished.Lian Zhen and Zou Fang survived because they stayed behind closed doors because their mourning clothes were not removed.

Duan Yanling went instead, and when he came back, he told Liang Heng that he didn't even see the emperor, and only a few eunuchs announced the edict.

Whether the edict of liquidation came from Liang Xuan's hand has become another question.The Emperor Seal Golden Seal was still hidden with Liang Heng, and he could not find a chance to secretly return it.

It was a particularly long winter, and the vegetation withered in the north and south of Zhuo River.The charcoal fire continued to burn until the spring and March. The emperor survived one winter, but did not survive the second. In the twelfth lunar month, pepper wine was offered to congratulate the new year. Feeling wrong, already cold body.

Liang Heng wore hemp and filial piety to support his father and was buried in the emperor's mausoleum.The royal cemetery has lush vegetation, rolling mountains, and abundant aura in the water, and Nan Qi, who has served as emperors, is sleeping under the dragon veins.

Emperor Ling's memorial tablet was included in the Ming Hall, Liang Heng kept watch at the ancestral hall, and the ancestors' posthumous posthumous titles were all mighty, but his father only got one "spirit".

Chaos without harming the spirit.

After a hundred years, what will I get?

Qiu Zhiyuan, Niu Shida and Tong Fang entered the Ming Hall and brought him sacrificial supplies.When Emperor Wuwei Liang Yubin was in heaven, the three of them had participated in the funeral affairs and were very familiar with the procedures.The tablet of Emperor Wuwei is on the left, under which a broken spear and a wooden box are enshrined.

Tong Fang took the wooden box as if no one was there, and placed it in front of Liang Heng.The style of the box is simple and heavy, carved with a flying horse, wearing an iron helmet, it is a war horse.

"What is this?" Liang Heng asked. At this time, he saw the tacit smile on the face of the third eunuch, which made people have a bad feeling.

Eunuchs are the most untrustworthy, so if they show their weakness, they will be used as excuses!

Father's words are still in my ears.

Tong Fang opened the wooden box for him, and the offering appeared in Liang Heng's eyes——

If there is anything Liang Heng remembers that day, it is the forest of plaques of the ancestors in the Mingtang, which suppressed him like mountains and seas.And father's tablet is glowing with a blunt new wood luster, like a mask that doesn't fit in.
