Zhuo Qihua

After breakfast the next morning, Lin Xieshan took his luggage and went to the military headquarters.It is always inconvenient to find a suitable wet nurse in the mansion, so Lin Xieshan found an excuse to live in the military headquarters to facilitate things.After the morning meeting, Lin Xieshan went to the sky prison of the military headquarters alone, where all officers or soldiers who committed crimes were detained.Wei Sijin, who was escorted back from the Hanjiang Mansion, was imprisoned here.

In a cell of the Tianlao where serious criminals are held, Wei Sijin, who was escorted back, was lying on the foot of the bed with his head bowed, and iron chains were tied around his ankles and wrists.At this moment, he doesn't have the vigor and domineering power that he once served as the general of the second army.Hearing the sound of footsteps, Wei Sijin with disheveled hair raised his head. When he saw clearly who was coming, he got up suddenly and staggered out of bed.

The sound of the iron chain was particularly harsh in the quiet cell, and Wei Sijin looked at the person outside the cell with fluctuating mood through the steel fence.When he was an ordinary general, the opponent was already a commander in chief of the first army.When he owned his Weizhong Army, the other party had been "taken away" by the Holy Master and given the title of Duke.But at this moment, the other party is sitting on the military chief of the army, but he is already a prisoner.

Wei Sijin took a step back, sat unsteadily on the bed, and asked decadently: "It's time, is it?" The moment he was caught, he knew that he and the whole Wei family behind him would not escape death.

Lin Xieshan said in a calm voice: "The investigation of the five armies is not over yet, you can live a few more days. I came today to see you."

"Oh," Wei Sijin laughed, turned his head slightly, and looked at the man outside the prison, "Then, humble, I would like to thank the Chief of Military Defense for his concern."

Lin Xieshan put his hands behind his back and stared at the man inside. After a long silence, he suddenly said, "Why?"

Wei Sijin was startled for a moment by Lin Xieshan's sudden utterance, and then said "heh" again, but did not answer.Lin Xieshan asked: "Why do you want to seek rebellion? You should be clear that you have no chance of winning. For those two princes who have already had their wings cut off and their limbs broken? For the Cheng family? Or the Na family? Have you ever thought about your Wei family?" Family, have you ever thought about your wife, children and grandchildren?"

Wei Sijin's face was very calm, but his uncontrollably trembling hands revealed his heart at the moment.

Lin Xieshan continued to attack: "They are also locked in this big prison, on the floor above your head, do you want to see them?"

Wei Sijin raised his head suddenly, his body suddenly rose up, and rushed over.Then he made a gesture that was at odds with the only dignity he had shown in his earlier efforts.He knelt down.

"Military Defense Chief! Lord! I know that my death is not a pity, I beg you!! Let my wife and the youngest grandson die. My wife doesn't know anything. My little grandson...was just born at the beginning of the year ...Military Defense Chief, I beg you humbly!"

Wei Sijin took a step back on his knees, and Bang Bang Bang started to kowtow.Lin Xieshan looked down at Wei Sijin who was in such a mess, but his heart was calm.

"Why, do you want to kill Shunyu?"

Lin Xieshan smelled calmly, but deep in his eyes was icy cold.Wei Sijin stopped kowtowing, and the other party asked from above: "Why, do you want to attack Shunyu?"

Wei Sijin's body trembled, Lin Xieshan squatted down, stretched his hand through the gap between the fences, grabbed Wei Sijin's hair, and forced him to raise his head.Lin Xieshan stared closely at Wei Sijin's eyes, and asked again: "Why, do you want to attack Zuzu?"

Wei Sijin replied hoarsely: "They said, as long as it's okay, it's gone...Your Majesty, even if nothing happens, you will be in a mess... At that time, they will have the opportunity to find a way to push the third prince to the throne. Then I can return to Central Continent..." Even, there is a higher position.

Lin Xieshan's hands tightened, and Wei Sijin's scalp hurt from being pulled by him, but he held back and didn't cry out.As if grabbing a life-saving straw, he didn't wait for Lin Xieshan to continue to ask, he said directly: "I blame, blame Your Majesty, for transferring me to Hanjiang Mansion. Why did Your Majesty transfer me to Hanjiang Mansion in such a bitter cold place? Pan Beigu was transferred to Zhongzhou. I don't accept it! In terms of qualifications and family background, I can't compare to him in any way!"

Lin Xieshan let go, as if the other party's hair was dirty, he took out his handkerchief to wipe his hands, and said indifferently: "You rebelled, and I guessed why. Your Wei family has been operating in Zhongzhou for many years. Your Majesty transferred you to Hanjiang Mansion. You Wei The power and wealth of your family are all interrupted, and you are struggling in Hanjiang Mansion, unable to intervene in Hanjiang's business. You are not convinced, and you are not the only general who can be defended!" Lin Xieshan threw the dirty handkerchief in Wei Sijin's face , "For your own selfish desires, you disregard His Majesty's favor to your Wei family, disregard your wife and children, and disregard the whole family of the Wei family. Only this one, you can't compare with Uncle Pingchang!"

Uncle Pingchang is Pan Beigu.

Wei Sijin laughed softly, and tears rolled down his face: "The five great armies, they all sound the same, but are they really the same? The Cang family has Cang Qingnan who is making money every day. The Qin family has a Qin Zhongyi who is His Majesty's confidant." The Pan family has two nobles! In terms of seniority, Pan Beigu still needs to call me "uncle". One of the grandsons of Sima Hui (the general of the First Army) entered the Firearms Battalion, and the other entered the Qingping Guard..." He Grabbing the railing, he stood up, "Only my Wei family! All of them were excluded! It is said to be deployed for defense, but what is the difference between exile and exile! When Pan Pozhi was in Hanjiang Mansion, what were the soldiers in his hand doing? They raised pearls! Raised fresh Mushrooms! Plant tribute rice! Plant herbs! One item, one item, which one is not a source of wealth! But me! I was transferred to Hanjiang Mansion, but I have nothing! Everything is under the responsibility of the Ministry of Household Affairs! Pan Pozhi earned a lot of money and sent his son to Zhongzhou, but I could only take a few lieutenants and run to the bitter cold Hanjiang Mansion!" Panting heavily, Wei Sijin vented: "Your Majesty! Since you don’t believe me anymore, my Wei family will be dead sooner or later, why don’t you give it a try!”

Lin Xieshan's eyes were blank: "All the livelihood and industries in the hands of the five major armies have been taken back to the household department, not just the second army. The bounden duty of soldiers is to protect their families and protect the country, not to do business! To make money! Soldiers only want to focus on making money, To do business, why fight! How decent! The original Beigu army was short of clothes and food. In order to let them have enough food, wear warm clothes, and have enough fire kang in winter, His Majesty thought of a way to let them have The income can be self-sufficient. With the opening of the sea, the court has money, and they don’t need to find ways to eat and clothe themselves, so they are naturally not allowed to intervene in business. As a general, you can’t understand these things! "

Wei Sijin said "Oh", obviously not believing Lin Xieshan's words.He has resentment in his heart.His Majesty blamed him for transferring him from the comfortable Zhongzhou to the bitterly cold Hanjiang Mansion.Before he went to Hanjiang Mansion, His Majesty asked the household department to take away the most profitable business that was originally in the hands of the Hanjiang frontier army.His Majesty complained that he and Pan Beigu were treated differently.He refuses to accept it!How can Pan Begu occupy Zhongzhou and become the general of the Zhongzhou army closest to the emperor? It originally belonged to him, and belonged to his Wei family!Isn't it because Pan Beigu has a close relationship with that Zuo in the palace?Isn't it because his Wei family didn't show their face in front of His Majesty's servant!

Wei Sijin wiped his face, and then raised his head: "This is the end of the matter, even if His Majesty wants to execute me Ling Chi, I will have nothing to say. Duke Guo, in terms of the relationship between the Lin family, my Wei family, and the Xia family, I will Please, save my wife and little grandson." After speaking, Wei Sijin knelt down again.

Lin Xieshan looked down at Wei Sijin, and said ruthlessly: "If you don't take action against Chuchu, I might plead for you in front of His Majesty. You shouldn't, you shouldn't, you shouldn't touch Zuchu."

Wei Sijin's eyes widened.

Lin Xieshan also squatted down again, looked at Wei Sijin whose eyes were gradually despairing, and said, "Prepare your suicide note. I will personally watch your Wei family and accompany you on the road."

Standing up, Lin Xieshan turned and left.

Whoa!

"Guo Gong! Guo Gong! I was wrong! I was wrong! I don't regret dying! Please! Don't kill them! Don't kill them! Leave them alive! Please! In the next life, I will be a cow Repay you by being a horse! Grandpa! Grandpa——!"

Leaving Wei Sijin's heart-piercing shouts behind him, Lin Xieshan came out of the prison with a gloom all over his body.It's His Majesty's life... and why not, their (their) life... Walking out of the dungeon, under the sun, Lin Xieshan subconsciously closed his eyes.At that moment, the eyes seemed to be blood red again.

Clenching his fist hard, recovering from the dizziness, Lin Xieshan strode away.If Shi Yu and others were there, they would definitely laugh at Wei Sijin's innocence.When he decided to make a move against Zuo Zu, it was doomed to his death.Even if Lin Xieshan is willing to spare the life of the Wei family, Shi Yu, Qin Zhongyi, Pan Yuzhi, Pan Beigu, Cang Zhusheng...all these people who are loyal to the family will not let the Wei Sijin family go.And Lin Xieshan will only be worse than them.

Leaving the prison, Lin Xieshan entered the palace.

In Xiangfu Palace, Zhuo Ji is being examined by Hu Pengju.Withdrawing his hand, Hu Pengju said, "I still need to rest in rest and rest in bed more often. Although I didn't hurt my lungs in this accident, it is really dangerous. It will take a hundred days to hurt my muscles and bones, not to mention that I am a Such a serious gunshot wound. You must not be willful and follow the doctor's advice."

Zhuo Ji also withdrew his hand, and said sincerely: "I must obey the doctor's orders, and don't make His Majesty and you worry."

"That's right." Emperor Yong'an, who was sitting next to Zhuo Ji, held his waist and said, "As long as you follow the doctor's advice and don't be self-willed, you will recover soon, and I will feel at ease."

Wang Bao came in from the outside: "Your Majesty, Sui Guogong is seeking an audience outside Fengtian Hall."

Emperor Yong'an: "Let him come to Xiangfu Palace."

"Yes--"

Wang Bao went out, and Hu Pengju followed suit.

Emperor Yong'an said to Zhuo Ji: "Lin Xieshan and the others are worried about you, let him see you, so that the hearts of the courtiers will be reassured."

Zhuo Ji nodded.

Before Lin Xieshan entered the palace, he had thought that he might go to Xiangfu Palace to meet His Majesty. When the eunuch really wanted him to go to Xiangfu Palace, his inner excitement was perfectly concealed by his calm face.

When they came to Xiangfu Palace, in the Dahua Hall, Lin Xieshan saluted: "I have seen Your Majesty, and I have seen you."

Emperor Yong'an: "Come here, sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Lin Xieshan walked to the sofa, saluted, and sat down on the single sofa.

Zhuo Ji: "Your Majesty came just in time, Uncle Pingning said that I should not drink tea. You can accompany His Majesty to taste the tribute tea just delivered."

Lin Xieshan: "It's really time to be humble."

Feng Xi presented a new tea bowl, and Emperor Yong'an comfortably put his arm around Zhuo Ji's waist, leaning against the back of the sofa, and asked casually, "Why are you entering the palace at this time?"

Lin Xieshan: "I came from the prison of the military headquarters."

When Lin Xieshan mentioned the sky prison, Emperor Yong'an's face became a little colder.All the waiters in the house retreated except Zhang Xian, and closed the door of Xiaohua Hall.

Lin Xieshan: "Wei Sijin's rebellion is dissatisfied with the transfer of defense. He thinks that His Majesty transferred him to Hanjiang Mansion..." Lin Xieshan truthfully told His Majesty the reason for Wei Sijin's rebellion.

Emperor Yong'an said angrily: "He is dissatisfied with me, why should he hurt Shunxi!"

Lin Xieshan: "He didn't say it. However, I guess that there are two reasons why he hurt you. First, if you fail to assassinate His Majesty, but if something happens to you, His Majesty will be in a state of confusion, and they will be more likely to succeed if they take advantage of the chaos. Second, Wei Sijin believes that Pingchang Bo was able to garrison the fertile and treasured land of Zhongzhou because he was appreciated by 俍俍. 俍俍 is the main reason why he was neglected by Your Majesty."

Emperor Yong'an was so angry that the veins on his neck came out, and he put a hand on his leg.Emperor Yong'an suppressed Long Fu, he couldn't scare his baby Long'er.

Zhuo Ji: "When a person is dissatisfied, any point will become the reason for his dissatisfaction. Now all walks of life in Mata country are undergoing changes. This change is not purely quantitative, but a layer-by-layer qualitative change. In these During the changes, he is willing to work hard to adapt to these changes, and try to adjust himself according to these changes. With the changes, he will also get a qualitative change. On the contrary, he will either be eliminated by the changing environment. Or, like Wei Sijin In this way, they are full of resentment, trying to restore the old system that is beneficial to them. Every society has corresponding contradictions. During the period of His Majesty’s party and government, such contradictions broke out, and the servants thought it was a good thing It is definitely better to discover these contradictions early and think about solutions as soon as possible, rather than accumulating these contradictions after the crown prince ascends the throne."

Lin Xieshan: "What you said is right. Who would have known that Wei Sijin would have such prejudice and misunderstanding when the military department transferred him to Hanjiang Mansion."

Emperor Yong'an said with a dark face: "The whole family of the Wei family will be punished for the crime of treason! We must be severely punished!"

Lin Xieshan: "I also think that we must be severely punished. Conspiracy and assassination of His Majesty and Chu Chu have already been said to be heinous."

Zhuo Ji didn't raise any opinions. In front of the ministers, Zhuo Ji would never raise any opinions on the things that Emperor Yong'an had already expressed.Emperor Yong'an withdrew his arm around Zhuo Ji's waist, and took his hand on his lap instead.He told himself that he had the baby Lin'er he wanted most, and he had to take care of his body. The most important thing for him now was to welcome the birth of baby Lin'er and accompany him to grow up, instead of getting angry with people who had nothing to do with him.

Emperor Yong'an, who had calmed down, turned to say: "The prince supervises the country, the military department..." Emperor Yong'an began to arrange how the military department should cooperate with the prince, and Wei Sijin was no longer mentioned.But Lin Xieshan knew very well that the reason why His Majesty didn't mention it anymore was because he was pregnant with her.His Majesty's thunderous fury, if it was said to be a violent storm before, then after that, it will be a violent storm.

Lin Xieshan was not mistaken, ever since Zhuo Ji was injured, the fear and anger that never dissipated in Emperor Yong'an's heart will all erupt on Wei Sijin, who rebelled against him, and the related people behind him.Unlike other rebels, Emperor Yong'an, who thought he was kind to the Wei family, could not forgive Wei Sijin for his ingratitude and shamelessness.Not to mention that Wei Sijin is still the general of the Second Army, stationed in Hanjiang Mansion.The general rebelled and assassinated him and his beloved servant, which was a severe slap in the face.

Someone knocked on the door lightly, Zhang Xian passed by, and Feng Xi was outside the door.Feng Xi said in a low voice: "Master, it's time for you to drink soup."

Zhang Xian: "Bring it here."

When Zhang Xian came back, Emperor Yong'an also stopped talking, Zhang Xian: "Long live, it's time for you to drink soup."

As soon as he said this, Zhuo Ji frowned and asked, "What kind of soup is it?"

Zhang Xian: "Today should be crucian carp soup."

Zhuo Ji frowned even more.Emperor Yong'an hurriedly comforted him: "When you are healthy, you don't need to drink."

Zhuo Ji glanced at Emperor Yong'an, and said: "It is said that 'it is better to be happy alone than to be happy together'. Your Majesty also needs to make up for the soup that you drink every day. Why don't you drink with your Majesty?"

Emperor Yong'an was straightforward: "Okay, I will drink with you."

Zhuo Ji was satisfied: "Zhang Xian, bring a bowl of soup to His Majesty and Duke."

Fortunately, Lin Xieshan didn't drink tea, Emperor Yong'an immediately looked over, Lin Xieshan said dumbfoundedly: "My humble thanks to you for giving me the soup."

This time Emperor Yong'an was also satisfied.As long as Zhuo Ji can drink the soup, even if he has to drink with the ministers of the court, it's fine!
