Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 717: Ten Thousand Deaths!

Uncle Huaiyin followed the eunuch passing the decree into the palace, trembling all the way.

Looking back on his life, he found that the number of times he entered the palace was one of the few. After careful calculation, except for the time when he inherited the title and was personally received by the late emperor, the other few times were mixed with his brothers to attend the palace banquet. They all looked at the supreme emperor above the high ranks from a distance, and watched those important ministers, powerful ministers, and princes under one person and above ten thousand in the court hall being praised by the stars.

At that time, he always had the feeling that all these excitement belonged to other people and had nothing to do with him.

When I came back from the lively palace banquet, I thought about it again when I was alone, and said that I didn't envy such a life, that would be a lie.

But Uncle Huaiyin is very aware of his own weight, he doesn't have that kind of brain, and he doesn't like to fight with others, so he is not suitable for those intrigues in the court.

So, just envy in my heart, I don't have any unreasonable thoughts about whether I should live my own little life or live my own little life.

Unfortunately, things backfired. The woman he finally fell in love with was related to a mysterious force of unknown origin. For his beloved wife, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree to cooperate with those evil-minded guys.

He knew very well in his heart that this kind of cooperation would not end well. In order to save the lives of his family when the Dong Chuang incident happened, he saved his hand.

Uncle Huaiyin stretched out his hand to touch the stack of evidence hidden in his sleeve, and he was slightly relieved. Since the imperial army and the patrol battalion involuntarily surrounded the uncle's mansion, he had already carried the evidence left over from these years with him.At that time, he thought that once he was arrested and taken to Dali Temple, he would directly confess his guilt without torture and hand over the evidence at the same time.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty directly sent someone to call him into the palace. Uncle Huaiyin had a shred of hope that maybe the situation was not as bad as imagined.

After walking all the way, he thought wildly all the way, until the eunuch who passed the decree reminded him that he had arrived at the imperial study, and Uncle Huaiyin came back to his senses.

He tidied up his clothes and nodded towards the little servant guarding the door of the imperial study.

"Report to Your Majesty, Uncle Huaiyin has arrived!"

"Let him in."

The little servant gently pushed open the door of the imperial study, made a "please" gesture, and let Uncle Huaiyin go in by himself.

Uncle Huaiyin adjusted his official uniform again, took a deep breath, bowed his head and walked in.

This is the first time he has entered the Imperial Study Room. To be more precise, it is the first time he paid homage to Song Jue in the Imperial Study Room. He was very nervous. He was so nervous that he didn't know who else was in the room. He swung forward, knelt down on the prepared futon, and bowed to Song Jue.

"I see your majesty, long live your majesty, long live, long live!"

"Uncle Huaiyin, are you convicted?"

"I'm guilty!" Uncle Huaiyin began to sweat on his forehead, "I deserve death!"

"Oh? Then Aiqing might as well tell you, why are you guilty!"

Because of illness, Song Jue's voice was a little hoarse, and his tone of voice was not as clear as usual, it seemed a little low, with some majesty that was not common in normal times.It was this majesty that made Uncle Huaiyin a little breathless.

"I... I shouldn't... I shouldn't..."

"Why is Uncle Huaiyin stammering?" Song Qiyun looked at Song Jue who looked a little tired, stood up and walked to the imperial case, touched the teapot on the table, and waved to the little servant standing beside him, "Lord Jin Did you make a pot of herbal tea for His Majesty, is it ready? Hurry up and ask someone to remind you, and bring it over when it is ready."

Xiao Nei waited, and quickly left the imperial study room to fetch medicine for Song Jue.

Watching the little servant leave, Song Qiyun walked unsteadily to Uncle Huaiyin, and stared at him condescendingly for a while.

"Uncle Huaiyin, raise your head to speak, always bow like this, and turn over after a while, this king will find you an imperial physician to treat you."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Uncle Huaiyin, who raised his head and straightened his back, gasped for several breaths before the dizziness disappeared. He took the opportunity to look around and saw the other people in the imperial study, except Song Jue who was smiling at him after the imperial case. Song Qiyun, who was standing in front of him, looking at him with contempt, and the Duke of Zhen and the Commander of the Forbidden Army who sat beside him were silent, stern, and murderous.

"I have seen the lord, the lord, and the commander!" Uncle Huaiyin bowed to the three of them, "My lord, my minister..."

"Uncle Huaiyin, how do you know that His Majesty called you into the palace to ask you what's the matter?" Song Qiyun approached Uncle Huaiyin, and said with a soft smile, "Do you have a ghost in your heart?"

"Returning to your lord, I... really have ghosts in my heart, I can't deny it." Uncle Huaiyin took a deep breath, "This is the only thing I have done in my life, and I regret it every time I think about it, but... He smiled wryly, "If time goes back, I will still make the same choice."

"Oh? Why?" Song Jue asked with interest, "Just for a woman?"

"It is my lifelong wish to win the hearts of the people and stay together forever. Although my wife's background is not good, what I like is not her background, but her."

"Birth is not a problem, and no one will mock you because of her background. What really makes people look down on her is that her existence makes you fall into the predicament of inhumanity, injustice, disloyalty, and unfilial piety. This is the problem The real location." Song Qiyun's expression was very serious, "Of course, this does not rule out that you are doing such a rebellious thing under the guise of your wife."

"I dare not, give me a hundred guts, and I will not do such a thing."

"But you have already done it." Song Qiyun spread his hands, "No matter what your original intention is, the facts are already in front of you, and you have passed the news to them. Do you have something to say about this? Or do you want to justify? "

"I have nothing to say and nothing to justify. I plead guilty." Uncle Huaiyin took out the prepared evidence from his cuff, held it in both hands, and presented it to Song Qiyun respectfully, "This is the file left by me. It's all the news that I have passed on for that mysterious family in the past two years."

"Hey, Uncle Huaiyin still has this trick, I am quite surprised, it's really a good trick!"

Song Qiyun glanced at him, reached out and took the thick stack of evidence without looking at it himself, turned around and walked to the case, and placed it in front of Song Jue.Shen Cha had already sent someone to deliver Yan Ruyu's statement before, just compare the two.

"My lord praised me, I didn't think about these things at the time, I just felt that I should keep them. What I said before was not false at all, I didn't dare to betray Da Xia, and I didn't dare to betray His Majesty, but the situation forced me to do it as a last resort. Uncle Huaiyin kowtowed again, "Your Majesty will not be able to atone for this serious crime even if you die. I only ask Your Majesty to spare the offending minister's wife and daughter for the sake of taking the initiative to take the responsibility and confessing your crime!"
