Emperor Que Shaohua

When King Jing came in, everyone in the imperial study room saw that his face was extremely pale, as if he was a bit sick.

Emperor Tianyi calmed down a little, only then did he realize that he had been provoked unknowingly just now, and he didn't think of retreating.But he summoned King Jing just to silence the others, Li Pinglan and Wu Yong are both insiders, and Luo Junping, who is half-knowledgeable, is fine.

King Jing saluted as usual, but he picked up the teacup that hadn't been moved for a long time, took two sips slowly, and then picked up a memorial and read it, as if he didn't notice that anyone was watching.The imperial study room was silent for a while, and the air seemed to freeze, filled with invisible pressure.It is not easy for Li Pinglan and Wu Yong to intervene. Of course, Wang An will never help out.

Luo Yanhua knelt on the ground, knowing that the emperor probably wouldn't let him get up to answer, so he also remained silent.He already felt tired today, but now in front of the emperor, life and death are at stake, but for some reason he was a little absent-minded.Perhaps it was because it was futile and tiresome to explain to Emperor Tianyi and ask him to believe in himself. To a certain extent, the more you talked, the more suspicion you would have. It was better to keep silent.

Returning to court in May last year, it has only been ten months so far. Every time he enters the palace, he vividly remembers. Two days ago, he was still thinking hard about winning the contest.It was my own negligence, forgetting that even in exchange for life and freedom, the little trust given by the emperor is still as thin as floating dust, unable to withstand any disturbance.

While thinking about it, Emperor Tianyi's indifferent voice finally broke the silence, and came from the top of his head: "I heard that you refused to plead guilty just now, but you said that I wronged you?"

"I have no such intention," King Jing said, his voice was as quiet as ever, and the invisible oppression in the room didn't seem to have affected him, "I am very grateful to my father for personally inquiring about the facts."

"I can't appreciate your gratitude, how talented the eldest prince is, and how many talented and capable people under his command, he responded to every call, and casually disturbed Chonghua Palace day and night, even if I want to sleep for a night, I can't get it! "Emperor Tianyi sneered suddenly, "His Royal Highness King Jing please please hurry up, I should beg you to show your noble hand, if you are wronged and wait too long, maybe next time you will not even be able to sit on this dragon chair safely."

There was complete silence in the room, no one expected that Emperor Tianyi would suddenly become so angry that he even said that he could not sit still on the dragon chair. Didn't he point out that the First Prince wanted to usurp the throne?Even King An, who was about to watch a good show, broke out in a cold sweat, feeling a little regretful that he hadn't resigned just now.

In the almost suffocating atmosphere, Luo Yanhua raised his head, looked at the emperor with a ferocious face, and said after a moment of silence: "I belong to the father and son of the emperor and minister, and even the name of the son and minister is given by the father, so it is right to kneel down. "

Thinking that the father was so suspicious because of a Guan Ling who entered the palace, he suddenly felt a little funny, and continued: "I was summoned just now, and I thought that seeing the father and the queen would have to be mourned." Willing to ask for help, crying out for grievances, and crying. As a human being, he is naturally greedy for life and afraid of death. I don’t want my father and emperor to think so highly of me, and my son and minister have no chance to humiliate themselves. The only way is to repay each other with life. Going out of the palace and returning to the mansion, I don't know if the emperor will allow it because of the whole body? I really don't want to die in Chonghua Palace."

"Do you think I dare not agree?" Emperor Tianyi said solemnly, "It seems that I have been too tolerant of you and the remnants of Langhuan. Since you said it yourself, I will fulfill you today!"

As soon as the words came out, he realized that he was indeed a little dizzy with anger, and even said the word "Langhuan", which was regarded as a taboo.After a year of no conflict, the emperor remembered that the more persecuted King Jing was, the more he dared to say anything. Such an attitude obviously meant that he was really not prepared to ask for medicine.

Thinking of this, he was suddenly a little uncertain, was it really the right decision to let everything end tonight?The envoys of Beiliao and Yijin are still in Luocheng, and Yuzhou Wulin has just begun to return to the imperial court, and his expectations have not been fully fulfilled.If Luo Yanhua struggled to survive and came up with various reasons, the emperor would only become more murderous, but seeing him give up just like that, he couldn't help but think about the pros and cons.However, Langhuan was a hidden danger in his heart after all, if he let go of the opportunity in front of him, it would take a lot of trouble to deal with it in the future.

Weighing back and forth, a bit of murderous intent disappeared unconsciously.

"Thank you, father. My son has one last request," Jing Wang thanked him, and then said, "Guan Ling is the son of Guan Yonghuai, the younger brother of Guan He, and he will never do anything that would harm the father. Please look at it The Guan family has been loyal for generations, let him go when the facts are found out."

Emperor Tianyi couldn't help being startled, since he got the interrogation in the morning until now, all he was thinking about was how to question King Jing and Langhuan, but he didn't notice Guan Ling's surname.Guan Yonghuai was born in Langhuan, he was his own bodyguard back then, loyally followed him around, later on when the battlefield was critical, he used his body to block the enemy's swords for him, and died protecting the Lord, which can be said to have saved the emperor's life.Emperor Tianyi felt grateful in his heart, because the Guan family resigned the award, he ordered Guan Yonghuai's eldest son, Guan He, to enter the palace and follow the eldest son of the emperor.Only then did I realize that the surname Guan is rare, and Guan Ling's age is also suitable.He looked at Li Pinglan, and the Ouchi Commander nodded, indicating that it was indeed the truth.

"Father thinks that I have many subordinates, and everyone responds to it. It is true that my son succeeded my mother and became the suzerain of Langhuan, but has Father ever thought about why Langhuan exists?" Luo Yanhua said, his voice did not have much emotion, In the tranquility, there is a kind of Qingyuan that is not commensurate with the majestic palaces. "When the family and the country are in trouble, they rise up and follow them. When the righteousness drives them, they go through fire and water; but they sprinkle their blood and hope that the mountains and rivers will last forever. This is the lifelong ambition of Yuzhou men. , It is also the aspiration of the people of the Wulin. Langhuan never existed for the sake of the sons and officials, let alone anyone who can control it arbitrarily out of their own selfish desires, let alone conspiracy to make trouble? Once the loyalty is violated, the people's support is only in an instant. The reason why they worked so hard to go to the pin martial arts hall outside Yumen Pass, and the young children are willing to come to Luocheng to defend the competition, is not what they are doing. No matter how much you raise your hand and shout, there will be no one who will obey you."

His face was already as pale as snow, but he smiled slightly: "If it wasn't for the same heart and the needs of the country, how can He De let those who have never been born in the palace be imprisoned for seven years, lost all martial arts, and suffered from illnesses?" The rebellious and rebellious Yingjie who met each other obeyed orders? The reason why he was promoted as the suzerain is because in the hearts of everyone, Luo Yanhua's thoughts and actions still abide by the purpose of Langhuan, and he has never betrayed his family and country. Over the years, Langhuan Wronged and bloodied, but never changed, the one who has changed is you, father."

Emperor Tianyi's face was faintly blue, he heard this reasoning at this moment, and looking back over the past ten years, he couldn't find anything to refute it.Why have the gangsters avoided the imperial court for many years, and there are only a few masters who are willing to join the Jingyu Guard;

King Jing's expression reminded him of the confrontation on the night of the third day of May last year when the alliance of cups of wine was established. Luo Yanhua picked up the poisoned wine and said that the son would like to give the father a peace of mind; when asked if he had any complaints, he only replied, yes. As a member of Yu and Zhou, being supported by the royal family, he should bear some responsibility.

After Luo Yanhua finished speaking, he felt a little numbness in his knees, so he got up slowly: "I bid farewell to my father."

Wu Yong was dumbfounded when he heard this scene, and then suddenly reacted when he saw this scene, and hurriedly stepped forward and fell to his knees: "Your Majesty! I beg Your Majesty to be merciful. Seeing that His Majesty is weak and mentally confused, please forgive him! Your Majesty Forgive me!"

He is the chief servant of the Chonghua Palace. When he knelt down, several maids and servants in the imperial study who had already panicked woke up suddenly, and they were deadlocked to such an extent. Commander Li didn't have anything to do, he was afraid that he would be silenced afterwards, so he immediately knelt down on the ground.

Wu Yong couldn't care less, and even winked at King An to persuade him.Luo Junping's head was also dizzy from the shock. Of course he didn't want to speak up for King Jing, but if he didn't make a sound when he was in the situation, he would be criticized later and be regarded as cold-blooded and heartless, so he could only curse inward , said in the mouth: "Brother Dahuang is really rebellious, father, please don't be angry and ruin your body."

"Stop!" Seeing that King Jing ignored the chaos in the room and was about to turn around and leave, Emperor Tianyi couldn't help trembling with anger, and shouted angrily, "Now that things are going on, you still want to suffer death calmly, who do you want to show it to?" ?! You are full of loyalty and filial piety towards me, where will your father’s reputation be placed by this kind of behavior!”

This scolding was already the fury of thunder, and no one dared to speak out.King Jing stopped in his tracks, but when he saw the emperor stand up from behind the desk, he was obviously furious and suppressed himself, and after a while he said in a deep voice: "I will ask you, no matter whose son Guan Ling is, is he yours?" Personal secret guard, since your suzerain and Lang Huan are so righteous, why did he sneak into the palace to make trouble?"

He didn't wait for King Jing to reply, and continued to reprimand: "Where did the dozens of assassins who entered the palace to besiege me ten years ago and wanted to put me to death come from, and who were they instructed by? If I die on the spot, Who will benefit the most?"

In just a few words, everyone felt a chill and oppression rushing towards them. The emperor hated the past, and at this moment he took the initiative to mention it. The words were as sharp as a knife, which made people unable to resist. At the end, he sneered and said: "I understand everything, Crying for injustice, I really wronged you? There are so many ghosts and monsters in the world, with a lot of tongues on their faces, and if you don’t open your stomach, who knows if it’s a human or a ghost!”

Luo Yanhua silently listened to the repeated harsh questions, the past and the present must be related and liquidated together, but the majestic emperor is always worried about the evil villain.Fascinated by suspicion and jealousy in vain, I lost my wisdom.He was bored and had a little contempt in his heart, and said lightly: "My father mentioned the past, and my son still remembers it vividly. I was attacked by more than ten assassins that day, and I was seriously injured and unconscious. If I died at that moment, Whose wish will it be fulfilled? Since the old case of Langhuan occurred, the government and the people have been at odds, not to mention who has benefited from it in the past ten years, but today the father and emperor are punished by thunder, and if the son is killed in the palace, he will wait until tomorrow , who will benefit from it?"

It's futile to argue about these things. Standing opposite each other at this moment, he saw Emperor Tianyi's expression froze for a moment. It doesn't matter if he said it, today he was going to die and live later.

"Boldly ask my father," he said, trying to put his voice down as softly as possible, but the content was straightforward, "Why Guan Ling was arrested, in my father's mind, this matter must have been instigated by my son-in-law, and there is no need to go through it." Check? Now that Luocheng is mixed with dragons and snakes, and the battle with the enemy is in the midst of a decisive battle, why can't it be that the Beiliao, Yijin, and Kunlun mansions secretly manipulated and attempted to frame it? Why do you need to disrupt the situation at a critical moment, so that Is Yu Zhou in disarray?"

"You asked me that I came here, and I wasn't sent by you, so how do you explain that he broke into the palace without permission?" Emperor Tianyi saw that he still showed no sign of weakness, and smiled angrily, "With the talent of the eldest prince, I'm afraid I feel that the time is right. Right? Otherwise, when the Liao and Jin retreat and the peace agreement is concluded, there will be no chance to fish in troubled waters, and we have to worry that it will be difficult to get a bargain after all the birds are exhausted."

"The bird is gone?" Luo Yanhua frowned slightly, looking at Emperor Tianyi whose face suddenly turned pale, he seemed unbelievable, "Why did the father say such a thing?"

There was an embarrassing silence, Wu Yong knelt on the ground, suddenly felt that after today, maybe even himself would be silenced by the emperor's decree, and cold sweat flowed down.Then he heard King Jing Youyou say: "If this is what Royal Father thinks in his heart, there is actually no trouble. Now is an excellent time. The competition is coming to an end, and the Fifth Emperor can take it alone; the peace agreement is about to be reached. In the next few years, there should be no need to worry about the Liao people invading the frontier; even if there are twists and turns, the father's heroic talents must be enough to deal with it. The Northern Liao colluded with the Kunlun Mansion and carefully selected and handed to the father a sharp knife at this time. It is true that they have lived up to their painstaking efforts, just like how they treated their mother back then, they took over the situation, and the crux of the heart was solved instantly, how comfortable and at ease?".

Before the words were finished, a hard object the size of a palm flew towards him, Wang Jing turned his head slightly, the object barely brushed his ears, hit the wall, and shattered with a "pop", and the fragments scattered everywhere.Wu Yong could see clearly that it was the Moyu paperweight that Emperor Tianyi put on his desk every day.

"Luo Yanhua! Get the hell out of here!" Emperor Tianyi's face was livid, with veins popping out on his forehead, and his whole body trembled with anger.Everyone's ears were buzzing with Shi Potian's shocking roar, and before they could recover from the state of shock, they heard the emperor shout angrily with all his strength: "Go away! Who will allow you to go back to the mansion? Come on, kill this evil man!" The animal dragged to kneel in front of Changning Palace, and knelt there until he died!"

The servants trembled as if they were sifting chaff, and ran for their lives as if going forward to pull King Jing.Wu Yong felt that it was dark in front of his eyes, but in this situation, apart from quickly helping the emperor to appease his anger, it was hard to intercede.Emperor Tianyi is indeed aggressive and shows no signs of life, but who would have thought that the usually calm and gentle eldest prince would be so resolute instead of begging.Seeing that it is difficult to be good tonight, what should I do?His always alert mind has also become a mess, while ordering the servants to quickly pick up the debris and pour hot tea, at the same time, Luo Yanhua turned around silently, when he walked out of the imperial study with the servants, his body seemed to shake slightly one time.

It just rained last night, and the sky is gloomy again today. Kneeling under the stone steps in front of the Changning Palace, I felt a biting chill invade my body, penetrating to the bone marrow.Luo Yanhua felt very tired.He didn't regret making the situation so rigid, Emperor Tianyi wanted to get angry, it was really deceiving, the more tactful he was to give in, the more he would get what he deserved.Even though he was already familiar with the coldness and ungratefulness in the emperor's nature, when the phrase "the bird is gone and the bow is hidden" came to his ears, he still couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.Putting aside the friendship between father and son, just talking about monarchs and ministers, it can't help but make people feel cold.Then only by revealing it thoroughly, it is best to spread it and make it known to passers-by, then Emperor Tianyi will have scruples and dare not kill Langhuan.It's just that I am sad at this level tonight, and I don't know if I can still leave Chonghua Palace.

There was no one in front of the Changning Palace, and the servants in charge of guarding had shrunk far away to an unknown corner. At the age of 12, he was given to live in Changning Palace, and at the age of 19, he left the palace to build a mansion. For eight years, this place has been locked tightly like Fengyi Palace, and no one comes in or out. Lush grass.And these two places are the places he least wants to set foot in Chonghua Palace, and he doesn't even want to think about them.

Emperor Tianyi asked him to kneel here because few people passed by, and maybe it also meant to settle old scores.The Changning Palace in the past was refreshing and warm, with people coming and going, full of vigor and vitality everywhere: Taifu, uncle, friends met everywhere, attendants who were inseparable, and A Su who flew in and out; you can always hear the laughter of books , there are water lilies in the gold-plated water tank, and the little Ping Yuan is running around on fat legs, asking for the company of the emperor.

Perhaps it was because the sun was so bright once, but the earth-shattering later seemed so long and dark.He always heard broken voices, from all around him and from within.Many people died, and from then on, yin and yang were separated, and the rest left silently, never daring or being able to approach this palace that turned into a cold prison.Every time I wake up from a nightmare, I always feel that reality is the more lonely and desperate revenge.

At that time, he vaguely knew that some people were waiting for him to commit suicide, or break down and go crazy, and felt that sooner or later, this would definitely happen.But he didn't after all, because his uncle led the deployment of Langhuan, who was also hit hard, and was still doing his best to try to save him, so what right did he have to give up?He can't forget the gleam of hope in the dark, the short-lived warmth in the coldest and lonely time.From the moment he walked out of the Changning Palace, he understood that he needed to support the hope in the hearts of many people, no matter how elusive, he was still the only reliance in the boundless painful struggle.

He has been doing his best, he must not be impulsive, he must not be impulsive, and he must properly use the little power left by Langhuan until he is alive.Every day and night, he always wonders if there is any way to do better, has he really kept the intermittent warmth and faith?Just like today, just now, is the way to deal with the emperor really correct?If I let go of my arrogance, suppress my dignity, and give in a little more, will Xiao Ling and everyone be safer?

When he realized these thoughts, he knew that although Bi Haicheng's heart hadn't reached the moment of attack, he should already be sick. Weakness is always accompanied by physical pain, but this is not a mansion where you can rest in bed.The wind of early spring is still wrapped in the bitterness of winter, and the cold spring seems to pierce the lungs, taking away the last trace of warmth in the body.

The chill was piercing to the bones, Luo Yanhua thought of the cloak he had left in the ear room, and sighed silently.His perception gradually became numb, but he still felt that the poison that had been suppressed for a long time seemed to be called by the cold and fatigue, and began to spread in his body, brewing to wreak havoc and destruction.

When will Lin Pian come?Did Ah Su successfully find him?King Jing was thinking drowsily, Ping Yuan didn't know if he had returned to the mansion, but even if he did, he probably wouldn't think too much if he found himself in the palace.

Looking up slowly along the stone steps, many years ago, when I learned that Ping Yuan had worshiped under Hanshan Daoist and was about to go to Cuiping Mountain to study art, I really tried my best to see him off face to face.If you want to get permission to step out of the palace, you must exchange conditions. It is also difficult to struggle to get up from the bed, but if you miss it, who knows if you will have the opportunity to see the emperor again in the future?

He finally walked out of the palace gate at that moment, stood on the high stone steps in front of him, and looked at the 11-year-old Luo Pingyuan, who was wearing a simple little robe for a long journey, walking towards this side from a distance.The delicate little face with baby fat was expressionless, looking at him with strange and indifferent eyes, and then left without looking back.

In a hurry, the little emperor who has been doting on me for many years left only one sentence: I have nothing to say when I see you, so why bother to send them off.Hearing it seemed like it would last forever, and for a long time afterwards, every time he thought about it, he would feel sad.

But the days flowed slowly, and Ping Yuan finally came back, and he was with him day and night, reminding him of the lost days of the birds singing and the fragrance of flowers, the sun was still bright and gentle.However, the sky was about to darken, and the night was doomed to be deep and long. There was only a heavy haze left in the solemn and majestic palace, which seemed to drag him into the icy and eternal calamity of the past.

But he was nostalgic for the dewy flowers in the morning light and the rising sun. Only in front of him, His Highness Prince Ning, who was always calm and reserved, would blush or be depressed because of a joke.Can you make it through the night?He only hoped to see Ping Yuan again, to return to the short moment of exhorting each other in the study room in the morning, and return to the unusual warmth.
