The grandfather and grandson slept very comfortably in the house.
But people who stay in the palace cannot sleep.
The first is Liu E.
Liu E thought that after escaping back to the bedroom, Zhao Zhen and Kou Zhun would help her block Zhao Yuanzuo.
I didn't expect it.
Zhao Zhen and Kou Zhun did not stop Zhao Yuanzuo and let Zhao Yuanzuo kill her to her bedroom.
After Zhao Yuanzuo got to the entrance of her dormitory, he lit several other palaces around her dormitory, which really frightened her.
The raging fire.
Thick billowing smoke.
Let her clearly feel the approach of death.
What made her feel desperate was that when she wanted to consult with someone, she found out.
When Zhao Yuanzuo reached her bedroom, Yan Shu trembled and couldn't say a complete word.
And Xia Wei's servant, on the way to escape to the palace with her, was nowhere to be seen.
And those eunuchs and Gong'e, one by one fell to the ground, only shaking all over, but none of them could help her out.
She can only sit in the bedroom, feeling the slightest torment that rises in her heart, constantly zooming in, then zooming in again.
Death is not the most terrifying.
The scariest thing is when waiting for death to approach step by step.
That kind of suffering.
That kind of fear.
It's unbearable.
Liu E waited in the palace for a long time, but did not wait for Zhao Yuanzuo to light her palace.
She drove Gong E out to test.
Drive the eunuch out to test.
Every Gong'e, every eunuch, after leaving, never came back.
The palace seems to have become her cage, she has become the lamb that stays in the cage, waiting to be slaughtered.
When Gong'e and eunuchs in the bedroom were less than forty people left, she no longer dared to drive people out for testing.
She sat alone in the main hall of the bedroom with Gong E, the eunuch, and Yan Shu, and could not sleep all night.
No one dares to sleep.
Because they were afraid and fell asleep, Zhao Yuanzuo would light the palace and let them die silently in the fire.
I was also afraid that after he fell asleep, Zhao Yuanzuo would hold a blood-stained sword and silently appear behind them, cutting off their heads bit by bit.
Zhao Yuanzuo at the entrance of the bedroom was also not asleep.
With raging anger burning in his chest, his head was awake like never before, and he couldn't sleep at all.
All the memories of the present and the past are constantly lingering in his heart.
Like sticks of firewood, they filled my heart, causing the anger in my heart to burn more vigorously.
previous years.
His imperial grandmother, his imperial uncle, his father, his uncle, his cousins, his brothers and sisters, his family, and the beautiful and beautiful in the palace sigh and feast.
The kind emperor's grandmother likes to hold him and his cousin by the hand, let them sit on each side separately, share the best food with them, and kindly tell them that brothers must be in harmony and close love together. Get along with kindness.
His emperor's uncle, his father, his emperor's uncle, and the brothers got together, the cups and the cups were staggered, and the hearty laughter spread throughout the Daqing Hall.
The young cousins and younger siblings were joyous, jumping, chasing, and fighting in the Daqing Hall.
At that time.
It's really happy to be together as a family.
But all happiness changed after his grandmother passed away.
His imperial uncle died in the palace somehow.
His father, inexplicably, replaced his cousin and sat on the throne.
Someone told him that the reason his father had ascended to the throne was because his father had murdered his uncle.
He found his father angrily to question, but he didn't get any response.
Immediately afterwards.
His cousin followed his father's emperor on the expedition, and a mutiny occurred.
After returning to Beijing.
His cousin hanged himself to prove his innocence.
Someone told him that the reason why his cousin would hang himself was a play arranged by his father, in order to force his cousin to death, so that he would not wait for the opportunity to usurp the throne.
He found his father again and forced to ask about it.
Still didn't get the slightest response, and even got the board.
Immediately afterwards.
His cousin died suddenly.
Because his uncle conspired to rebel, his family was sent to Fangzhou.
The originally happy family has since fallen apart.
No need for others to tell him, he also understood what was going on.
After questioning the father to no avail.
He lit the Eastern Palace where he lived.
Take this to demonstrate to his father.
I also use this to tell all the royal children that the throne is really not as important as family affection.
Because he was deposed as a prince, he became a grassroots.
But he has no regrets.
Because after he burned the East Palace on fire, the royal family never lost his life in order to fight for the throne.
He thought.
The bloody battle for the throne will be wiped out because of him burning the East Palace.
I didn't expect it.
This kind of thing happened before his eyes again.
His brother-in-law lost his life in order to compete with his nephew for the throne.
The anger that had been subdued for many years in his chest was ignited again.
The burning is more violent than before.
Last time.
He only punished himself, burned the East Palace, and threw down the position of prince, without killing anyone.
He was kind, but he couldn't stop this kind of thing from happening again.
This time.
He is ready to warn everyone again with the cruelest means.
He stood at the door of Liu E's bedroom with a long sword.
Whether it was the one who escaped from the bedroom and begged for mercy, or the one who was sent by Zhao Zhen to say good things, they all became the dead souls under his sword.
He killed him and no one dared to escape in the bedroom.
He killed until no one dared to persuade him to punish Liu E.
In the hanging arch hall.
Zhao Zhen sat on a chair without a dragon head carved, his eyes staring forward blankly.
Beside him, Empress Cao sighed in a low voice.
In front of him.
Concubine Yang and Concubine Li were interceding for Liu E one after another, asking him to rescue Liu E.
Not far from him.
The imperial daughter Guo was framed by two eunuchs. Chen Lin took the old hand and slapped Guo's face fiercely.
Guo's cheeks were red and swollen, blood was vomiting at the mouth, and he whimpered in a low voice.
No one paid any attention.
Just now, Concubine Yang and Concubine Li rushed over to intercede for Liu E.
Guo arrogantly broke into the Chugong Hall.
In front of everyone, she complained loudly to Zhao Zhen. The sound of fighting outside the palace disturbed her little pet. She wanted Zhao Zhen to find another better one to calm her heart.
Not waiting for Zhao Zhen to speak.
Concubine Li ordered thirty.
Taifei Yang ordered an additional thirty.
So there is the current scene.
Zhao Zhen, who had been very fond of Guo in the past, did not open his mouth to intercede for Guo.
Under the imperial order.
The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs stood in two shifts, with his head hanging down like a quail, without saying a word.
Among the ministers of civil and military affairs, except for Kou Zhun's grandchildren who had already escaped.
Liu Heng, Zhu Neng, Di Qing, and Zhu You are also not in it.
Liu Heng went to prepare for the arrest of betraying the party and ransacking his home.
According to their accusations, Zhu Neng, Di Qing, Zhu You and others went out to do post-war rehabilitation work.
In addition.
The other ministers of civil and military affairs are all in the Chui Gong Hall, and there is not one less.
They are not like Kou Zhun, who are qualified to slip away from the Chugong Palace without Zhao Zhen's permission.
Zhao Zhen did not allow them to go.
They can only stay in the hanging arch hall.
Even if you are about to die, you must die in the hanging arch hall.
Facing Taifei Yang and Taifei Li, Zhao Zhen rubbed his eyebrows and said mournfully: "Little Niang Niang, Niang Niang, you just let me save the auntie, but how can I do it
The emperor's uncle blocked at the gate of Auntie's Palace, not giving way.
How do I save people. "
Concubine Li said in a deep voice: "A courtier blocked the Queen Mother, how could it be done? The official should rule him."
Zhao Zhen helplessly said: "How to rule? Send someone to arrest him, or send someone to kill him? If he died in the palace, how would you let me, the emperor, remain
After I died, how would I face Emperor Father, Emperor Taizong
If it were spread out, how would the people of the world view me
The Eighth Uncle died of chaos, and the Great Uncle was forced to death by me
What am I doing
Get rid of dissidents
All the people in the world will regard me as a cruel emperor.
How can they respect my heart
How can I be above them
Let them be convinced to let me govern
Besides, the Taishi just now helped me with the government affairs, and it has already been the queen mother of the aunt.
Now the identity of the auntie is under the king of Chu.
How to deal with the rule of the monarch and ministers.
Do you want me to lose faith in the world? "
After listening to Zhao Zhen's words, Princess Li said in an unruly manner: "Then... how can that be good?"
She came from a humble background. After entering the palace, she first waited on Liu E's side, and then stayed in the deep palace for many years.
She didn't have much knowledge, and she didn't have much strategy. She knew about the many doorways up and down the government, but she was not familiar with it.
She only cared about Zhao Zhen in her heart.
Asking Zhao Zhen to save Liu E is also for friendship.
But if saving Liu E would affect Zhao Zhen's reputation, she was reluctant.
So I fell into entanglement.
Concubine Yang was smarter than her. After entering the Palace of Sui Gong, she never said that Zhao Zhen insisted on taking Zhao Yuanzuo.
Instead, he whispered admonishment from the side, "Now King Chu is only close to the officials, you go and ask King Chu. Even if you can't let him let his sister go, you can let him relax and let us send some food and water in. ."
Concubine Yang knew that too.
When things have reached this point, it will be very difficult for Liu E to appear in front of others.
The only thing I can do now is to find a way to save Liu E's life from Zhao Yuanzuo's hands.
As long as Liu E's life can be saved, it is enough.
As for whether Zhao Yuanzuo will block Liu E, so that Liu E can't go out of the palace for the rest of his life.
That can only be recognized.
Zhao Zhen sighed when he heard this, "I sent more than a dozen people to talk to the emperor's uncle, and they were all cut by the sword. I also want to go by myself, but I am afraid that the emperor's uncle will see me. Do something extreme.
Shi Cai, the uncle told me that if he really dared to send water and food to the aunt's bedroom, he would burn the aunt's bedroom and burn her to death. "
Concubine Yang gritted her teeth and whispered: "Have the officials thought of other ways?"
Zhao Zhen sat on the chair and pondered for a long time.
"I am afraid that only Master Kou can solve this matter... But Master Kou knew that this matter was troublesome and had already escaped. If you want to invite him back, it will be difficult."
When Zhao Zhen saw that Princess Li was about to open his mouth, he hurriedly added, "Tao Taishi Kou is an veteran of the three dynasties. He has assisted me for many years. He has succeeded in retreating and became a sage. If he doesn't come, I can't force it."
Zhao Zhen knew that his mother-in-law was too straight-tempered and spoke too quick.
In order to protect him, in order to relieve his worries, dare to say anything.
"How can that be good?"
Concubine Li grimaced and rubbed her hands anxiously.
Concubine Yang gritted her teeth and said mournfully: "If my sister is forced to die in the palace, I am afraid that my heart will not be peaceful for the rest of my life, and the heart of the official will not be peaceful."
"Fine..."
Zhao Zhen got up.
"I personally go please!"
When Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Li heard these words, they were all taken aback.
Concubine Li muttered: "You are a current official, so go and invite a courtier in person. What is it like?"
Zhao Zhen sighed: "If I don't go personally, he won't enter the palace."
Concubine Li was about to open her mouth.
Tai Fei Yang whispered: "I am the only surviving sage who is qualified to ask the official family to invite it in person. It is also a good story to spread this matter out."
Concubine Li shut her mouth decisively.
In the hanging arch hall.
The ministers of civil and military affairs heard that Zhao Zhen was going to find Kou Zhun himself, as if he received an amnesty.
All bowed and shouted.
"The official wise!"
They didn't say a word before, because they were afraid that Zhao Zhen would call them to try the sword in front of Zhao Yuanzuo.
Now Zhao Zhen is going to ask Kou Zhun.
The worries in their hearts will naturally be solved.
The ministers of civil and military affairs all praised Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen looked at them like a group of clubs.
"Nearly a hundred courtiers, they add up to not as good as a Kou Zhun, I really have a bunch of'good officials'..."
Zhao Zhen muttered in his heart.
People prepared the frame, spread the ceremonial guard, and went out of the palace.
Since the rebellion has just been put down, there are still some sporadic rebels roaming the city of Bianjing.
Therefore, the team that escorted Zhao Zhen out of the palace was very large.
In addition to the original Yulongzhi, there are also Yuqianwei, Jinjiawei, Three Thousand Forbidden Army, and Four Thousand Tiger Army Rocket Soldiers.
When a group of people arrived at Maxing Street, they immediately blocked Maxing Street.
After Zhao Zhen arrived at the gate of Kou's mansion, the tiger soldiers guarding the gate of Kou's mansion hurriedly gave salutes.
They wanted to shout one by one, but Zhao Zhen raised his hand to stop them.
Zhao Zhen let someone knock on the door of Kou Mansion.
In the horrified eyes of the few servants in the Kou Mansion, he stepped into the Kou Mansion.
The lantern held in Yulong's straight hand illuminates the front yard of the Kou Mansion in an instant.
Zhao Zhen looked at the front yard of the Kou Mansion, a little dazed.
The empty front yard of Kou's Mansion is cleaner than a dog licked it.
"In order to run the school, the teacher sold his belongings?"
Zhao Zhen suddenly felt a trace of sorrow and grief in his heart.
It’s just that this sorrow and grief haven’t lasted long in my heart, so I listened to Chen Lin whispering in his ear: "The officials are afraid that they have forgotten. The various businesses held by the Kou Industrial Department are making millions every day..."
Zhao Zhen was taken aback, the sorrow in his heart slowly faded, and he pointed to the front yard of the Zhikou Mansion with a look of doubt on his face.
Chen Lin hurriedly explained: "Since Kou Taishi became a sage, there has been an endless stream of people visiting Kou Mansion. Kou Taishi and Kou Industry Department went to live in Rui'an Town outside the city."
"Hurry up and help me find it, and see if Taishi is in the mansion."
"The slave and maid will send someone to find it."
"If the master is asleep, don't disturb the master."
"The servant understands."
"..."
It turns out.
Some things cannot be avoided.
Even if you hide for a while, sooner or later, you will be found on your head.
