Chapter 120: Hidden thorn

When Xiao Jingyan said this sentence, his voice was not loud, but the whole tone showed a strong clang. Emperor Liang's half-browed eyebrows suddenly fluttered and slowly lifted up, his eyes slightly squinted with cloudiness. Some sharp light gleamed and landed on Jing Jing's face.
"What ... do you have any objections?" The embarrassed tone of Emperor Liang was unable to hear anger, but he did not have much goodwill.
Yu Wang, who was sitting on his left, immediately adjusted his sitting posture respectfully, and lip angled upwards, but this smug expression was immediately consciously controlled by himself.
King Jing did not look at King Yu, but just bowed his head again and replied: "Children thought that no matter what the case was then, it was after all the pain of the royal family, and the loss of the court should be a curse and a blessing. Speaking of talking like this, there is nothing sad at all? Xia Shouzun has always been known for his fierce iron fists, which is really admirable, but now the father emperor is not in troubled times, can't the word heavy code be mentioned? As for what is The way to rejuvenate the country, what is the way to ruin the country, far away that there are books written by the sages of the past dynasties, close to see the father Emperor Shengming on the top, but Xia Shouzun asked me whether it is right, how dare I answer? "
The King Jing, who had never been known for his eloquence, answered such a low standard, but surprised his opponents.
Yu Wang straightened his waist and was about to refute a few words. Xia Jiang already chuckled and said: "Before the matter is discussed, it is often that political opinions differ.
If your Highness does not agree with my proposal, even if it is not, why is it so angry? Could there be a sentence I just stabbed into your Highness that annoys you? That old minister will accompany him first. "
"Yeah, Jing Yan you ..." Yu Wang was busy asking for help. Just after a few words, he received a glance at Xia Jiang's flash, and immediately stopped.
He was a wise man, and in a flash, he understood that Xia Jiang did n’t want the two to sing together so that they seemed too cooperative, so as not to cause Emperor Liang to be suspicious, and then he turned around at the tip of his tongue, because he changed quickly, "... Jing Yan said He ’s actually right, but he ’s got a little more tempered, but Xia Shouzun is also more attentive. You know that Jing Yan is just like his temperament, when he wo n’t have the intention? "
"His Royal Highness has no other intentions. The old minister didn't hear it, but what you said just now," regardless of the circumstances of the year ", the old minister didn't understand.
This case was reviewed by His Majesty personally one by one, and every trace of it was unpleasant. Could it be that His Highness still has no clear evidence to this day? "
In fact, at this time, King Jing only had to explain a few words such as "I didn't mean this", "Isn't there any objection to the case of that year", and the matter will be pulled apart. Xia Jiang is a veteran and a minister, after all, he is a vassal , It is impossible to fight against the dead, but Jing Jing is after all Jing Jing. After 13 years of perseverance and stubbornness, it has not been smoothed out in just over half a year. It can even be said that it is just recently Some of the truths discovered one after another made the fire of anger in his heart even stronger, so at this moment, although he knew that the emperor Liang on the surface was actually waiting to listen to his reaction, but let him ignore himself Xiao Jingyan couldn't really say something smooth and flattering in her true heart.
"I really do n’t know how that happened. I only knew that when I ordered Donghai to leave the capital, Qi was still the sage king admired by the world, Lin Shuai was still an outstanding loyal loyal, Chi Yanjun was still Kuang. The male guardian guarding the northern border of Daliang, but when I came back, I was told that they had become rebellious sons, traitors, sinners, dead dead, dead dead, except the chaotic graves and spirit cards, I did n’t even see a corpse , But how do I make it clear? "
"That's what it is," Xia Jiang nodded quietly. "It turns out that in your heart, as long as you have the virtue of the virtuous king, the virtue of the victorious master, and the masters like soldiers, can you rebel?"
After Xia Jiang's malicious questioning, Meng Zhi tried his best to wink at Jing Jing, implying that he would calm down.
However, the blood that has boiled is difficult to cool down instantly. When the deepest and most painful wound in this life is crushed under the foot, the 32-year-old Xiao Jingyan ca n’t let himself be forbearing: "The so-called rebellion, there is no real story, I As far as I can see, only Xia Shouzun reports your case. "
"No, you only saw Xia Shouzun's case report?" Yu Wangyu interjected gently, "Jing Yan, don't you even see the disposition edict from your father and emperor?"
Hearing this, Emperor Liang, leaning on the pillow, finally put down the hand beside his forehead, sat upright, and stared at Jing Wang ’s eyes slowly: "Jing Yan, about my handling of the Red Flame case ... ... Are you dissatisfied? "
Although this sentence sounds ordinary, it is actually very important to carefully consider it. Jing Jing immediately changed from sitting on his side to kneeling and bowed down, but when he raised his head, he still said nothing.
"Children are not dissatisfied with the father emperor. The children just think that King Qi never came ..."
"It's Xiao Jingyu!" Emperor Liang suddenly angered and shouted, "There is still Lin Shuai, that is the rebel Lin Xie! You haven't learned how to prelude right?"
King Jing bit his lower lip hard, his teeth deep, and he stabilized the twitching muscles on his face.
Meng Zhi immediately knelt down and whispered: "Your Majesty, the New Year is approaching, please take a break from the wrath of the emperor, so that you can live in peace ..."
"Jing Yan also said a few words," Yu Wang also whispered softly, "In front of me and my foreign minister, how can there be such a collision with the father emperor?"
In fact, since the beginning of the debate, King Jing only said two words to Emperor Liang, and these two sentences did not mean anything. However, as soon as the accusation of Honor King was deducted, it seemed that anything Jing Jing said was intentionally directed against Liang. The emperor's is really a powerful soft knife.
There was already some sweating on his forehead, but he was not an agile man. He could only figure out how to resolve the current situation, but he was anxious.
"Your Majesty ..." Gao Zhan, who had been kneeling at the corner of the temple, quietly crawled over and whispered in the ear of Emperor Liang. "The minions bravely reminded Your Majesty that your time for foot bath and medicine treatment is coming, Zhi Luo There was a letter from the palace, and the concubine Jing Jing was ready ... "
Emperor Liang ’s chest was obviously undulating, and he looked at these people with different looks from His Highness ... anxious and unsettled, striving to appear a respectful and peaceful honorary king, a faceless Xia Jiang, and kneeling there, he continued to defend, But there is no Jingjing who blamed.
The old emperor who had passed the ears suddenly felt discouraged and closed his eyes and waved weakly, saying, "Retreat, all retreat ..."
Yu Wang was a little disappointed. I wanted to say one more word, and was stopped by Xia Jiang's eyes, so I had to endure and salute with everyone.
When he arrived outside the temple, Jing Jing stretched his face, without glancing at the two peers, and walked hurriedly.
Yu Wang played with the Tai Chi Kung Fu for many years when he was fighting with the prince. He was very uncomfortable with the new opponent's cold and unfaced style. He stared blankly at his back and stomped for a long time before turning back. : "Xia Xia Zun, look at him like this ..."
"It doesn't lose blood.
Your Highness is a little restless, and the veteran retired. Xia Jiang responded briefly, arching his hands.
Yu Wang knew in his heart why he was so cautious. He looked to the left and right, said no more, and returned to the ceremony to break up with him.
After the three had just left, the emperor's step had been lifted to the Wuying Hall. Gao Zhan carefully helped Emperor Liang to come out, boarding the car and shaking towards Zhiluo Palace.
In recent months, Emperor Liang's foot had a wind attack, and the pain was often difficult to manage. The medicine prescribed by Taiyi had no great effect. The medicine bath steaming therapy prepared by Jing Fei for him can alleviate the symptoms. Going, Gao Zhan's reminder is not fake, but the timing is a bit more ingenious.
Of course, the concubine Jing did not know about the disturbances in Wuyingdian, but even if she knew it, it would be hard to say that her idle attitude would change accordingly.
After taking the car into the palace, she didn't talk much about it except for what she should say about the etiquette. She was only busy serving Emperor Liang to lie down on the soft chair and sit down halfway.
Normally, at this time, Emperor Liang would talk to her in order to relieve boredom, but today he was emotionally abnormal, and he closed his eyes as soon as he sat down. It shows that he is unhappy.
Jingfei didn't ask why, and when he closed his eyes, he took a fragrant incense and warmly folded it into a strip, gently covered him with his eyes, and replaced it again every half an hour.
About half an hour later, after the steaming treatment, Jing Fei put on white socks made of old cloth and soft cotton to put on Liang Di, put his legs flat on the stool where the court lady moved, and the ankles were slightly folded High, and then began to thump the legs.
While he was busy, Emperor Liang suddenly reached out and took away the scented towel from his eyes, leaned over and grabbed Jing Fei's wrist, and pulled her in front of her, and called out, "Jing Fei!"
"Yes," Jing Fei was pulled over by Anshun smoothly, "What's your majesty?"
"You tell me, what did you think about the case of Chi Yan back then?"
When asked by this abrupt question, Jing Fei's peaceful and watery eye waves hardly caused a ripple, and hesitantly asked, "How does your majesty ask about this ..."
"You just answer me.
What do you think, I want to hear the truth. "
Jing Fei slowly withdrew her hand that was pounding her leg, stepped back and knelt down, bowed her head and said, "Your Majesty asked, the concubine dared not to answer.
However, no matter how the concubine answers, it will inevitably make your majesty sad, so please ask for sin first, please forgive me. "
Emperor Liang was slightly touched and sat up and asked, "How do you say this?"
"The concubine was born in the Lin Mansion, and he had a great relationship with the old concubine. Your majesty knew it for a long time.
If the concubine said badly, would n’t His Majesty feel that Chen Fei had no close friends, no death? However, the case of Chiyan is handled by your majesty yourself. With your holy wisdom, it must be to stabilize the court. If the concubine cares about the private feelings of the concubine and the princess, he will excuse the person in Chiyan. A bit of care for the overall stability ... The concubine is just a little concubine in the deep palace. No matter what he thinks about the Chiyan case, it is a trivial matter, but if your concubine's answer makes your sorrow sad, it is The concubine's conviction is over, so the concubine is courageous. Please understand your majesty first. "Finally, Jing Fei bowed down again, and tears in her eyes had come out of her eyes."
For the concubine Lin Leyao, in fact, Emperor Liang often thought of and mourned secretly in recent years. Therefore, Jing Fei mentioned the old feelings with her. In accordance with the meaning, he extended his hand to indicate to Princess Jing that he was near and sighed, "Forget it, you are as gentle as Princess Chen, and I'm not embarrassed."
You are by my side, don't I know you yet? After all, you are different from the Queen Yuefei, things outside the palace should not involve you, just ... "
Seeing Emperor Liang tears sad, Jing Fei quickly took a handkerchief to clean his face and said softly: "The concubine understood that Her Majesty had intentionally opened the Chen Fei net, but you also know that although she has a good heart, she is after all In the face of that situation, Jiangmen bloodline is naturally unwilling to live alone.
Yichen concubine's understanding of her is not so much that she committed suicide because of the fear of sin, it is better to say that she is sorry for your majesty, and feels that she is in love. "
Jing Fei's remarks made Emperor Liang feel very comfortable and could not help nodding again and again.
It must be said that Emperor Liang was not too cruel to Chen Chen at that time. He was standing before his death, buried after death, a thin coffin, a lone tomb, no monument, no sacrifice, except that there was no clear intention to make her commit suicide. I can almost finish the cool things, but now I am thinking about my old age and always picking up on my generous things to gain psychological comfort.
"After so many years of passing, now you are the only one in this palace who dares to talk to me about Princess Chen." Emperor Liang stroked the back of Jing Fei's hand with emotion. "Jing Yu was born less than a year before you entered the palace. By the way, you naturally know how good I am for their mother and son ... The day before yesterday, I saw the word Que, and he rarely appeared in front of me all year round. I almost forgot him, but I saw that the day before yesterday, I found that some Things can't be forgotten ... "
"The concubine is wondering how many emotions His Majesty has today, it turned out to be because he saw Yanhou ..."
"It's not.
The reason why I think about these things is because Xia Jiang went into the palace today and told me that he caught a red flame rebel who missed the net ... "
Jing Fei was taken aback, almost exhausting all her energy to control that the hand that she was holding did not tremble, but her complexion could not help but change her head, and quickly lowered her head, calmed her mind, and said for a long time: "Ten Over the years ... I do n’t know which one is the offender? "
"You don't know, it was Xiaoshu ... uh ... it was a lieutenant in the red feather camp, what was Wei Wei."
Jing Fei calmed down and secretly exhaled, saying, "How could it be? The report of the year did not say that the whole army of Chi Yuying was annihilated by fire. Shouldn't it survive?"
"I think so too, so I specifically asked Xia Jiang.
He said that Wei Weiming was so big that he was the head of Li Yu, and he should have been in Meiling Beigu, but that day he was ordered to work in the Nangu Chiyan main camp, so there was a trace of life to escape.
If he was still in Peking, now most of them have no bones. "
Speaking of Wei Zheng, Emperor Liang did not mention the tenderness of Chen Chen when he was cold.
Listening to the concubine, Jing Fei only felt cold all over the body, and only by the deep control that he had cultivated for many years, did not show any inappropriate expression.
Why the Chiyu camp of Beigu was killed by a hotter and more ruthless killer than the main camp, and the fire was so thoroughly annihilated, in fact, Jing Fei understood.
The chief of Chiyu Camp, Lin Shu, the proud son of Lingyun, is the only son of Marshal Chi Yan and Princess Jinyang. Since childhood, he has been the heart of Empress Dowager.
When the Chiyan case first broke out, the old lady who had never intervened in the three dynasties but had stepped into the Wuying Hall, tearfully asked the emperor Liang to remove Lin Shu's name from the list of principals.
For the empress dowager, who was heartbroken at the time, she could not keep the Red Flame Army, but at the very least, she hoped to at least save the life of her great-grandson, who was only 17 years old.
However, what she did not know was that Liang Di, who had made up her mind to withdraw the Red Flame Army, could never leave the thirteen-year-old on the battlefield. .
So even though he was forced to help the Empress Dowager and did not list Lin Shu as the chief arrester, he secretly ordered Xie Yu to ensure that Lin Shu had no chance to escape his life. Afterwards, the red feather camp resisted fiercely and the situation was out of control. In the end, the jade and jade were burned back to the Empress Dowager.
Princess Jinyang, who had been waiting quietly for the news ahead, broke into the palace city with his sword on the day when he heard the bad news of the death of his husband, and he slammed himself in front of the Chaoyang Hall in public, splashing the jade blood.
However, the Empress Dowager's serious illness and the blood of Princess Jinyang did not stop Emperor Liang from rebuilding his iron hand of supremacy. Three days later, Xiao Jingyu was killed.
Chen Fei committed suicide on the same day.
Qi Wang Mansion, which was once full of vigor and talents, disappeared, leaving only the aftermath of the Manchu Dynasty.
The quiet wife in the deep palace has also been sincerely engraving the cruelty of the royal family into the bone marrow.
Among those who died, there was Lin Xie who saved her life and treated her like a sister, there was Princess Jinyang who loved each other and admired each other, and there was a concubine who was in the palace with each other and loved sisters, but she had to cover up The tears shed for them, hiding their inner grievances and anger, put away all their wisdom and emotions, and stayed in the corner of the deep palace like an invisible man, waiting for the unknown ending.
