Han Shizu

Chapter 1808
At dusk, the sky is covered with clouds, and the gorgeous light shines on each other, covering the imperial city of Luoyang, just like an ingenious Weaver Girl weaving a beautiful gauze for it.

In the Chuigong Hall, Emperor Liu was enjoying his meal slowly, holding a report from the Imperial City Secretary in his hand, all about honors and bureaucrats.His movements were very slow and his expression was very calm, but Emperor Liu still exuded a melancholy temperament.

After reading about Zhao Kuangyi's recent actions, Emperor Liu frowned slightly, but quickly regained his composure.During this period of time, Zhao Kuangyi was still very quiet, and devoted himself to state affairs. Of course, there were still frequent contacts with his disciples in private. Warning, there are no outrageous words or taboo remarks.

Obviously, Zhao Kuangyi is very knowledgeable about current affairs, unlike some people whose resentment and anger are almost written on his face.What Zhao Kuangyi did was just what most high-ranking officials and ministers were doing, keeping a low profile and avoiding misfortunes, and being careful to stop losses.

Just as he was in a trance, Yan Tuo hurried in, with an anxious expression on his face, looked at Emperor Liu, opened his mouth to speak, but stopped hesitantly.

Seeing his expression, Emperor Liu knew that it might not be a good thing, so he asked with a cold face, "What happened?"

"Officials, Princess Huaiyang hanged herself in the mansion!" Yan Tuo's voice trembled slightly.

Upon hearing this news, Emperor Liu went numb for a moment, and his body was completely frozen. He slowly moved his eyes and stared at Yan Tuo: "What did you say!"

"The Princess Mansion came to report that Her Royal Highness has just hanged herself!" Emperor Liu's gaze was so intimidating that Yan Tuo felt his scalp tingling, and repeated with his head bowed.

"How is the person? Have you been saved?" Emperor Liu deliberately maintained a calm state of mind in his words.

Yan Tuo lowered his head, but the description is very clear: "It is reported that after learning that the son-in-law Zhang Jing was tortured by Ming Zhengdian, Her Royal Highness screened all the servants and maids, and cried bitterly in the dormitory alone. It's too late."

"Did I ask you about the process?" Emperor Liu couldn't suppress his anger, and his eyes became vicious.

Yan Tuo shivered for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and said: "The official, I couldn't be rescued, Her Royal Highness has already gone."

When the bad news was confirmed, Emperor Liu sat down paralyzed, his old eyes blinked crazily, and his face twitched involuntarily. The difficulty and complexity rarely appeared on his face.

Raising a slightly trembling hand, he took the tea on the dining table, drank it with the tea leaves in one gulp, held the teacup vigorously, then threw it on the ground fiercely, and said angrily, "Is she so impatient?"

The shattered teacup seemed to have opened the valve to release the flood. If it wasn't for the lack of strength, Emperor Liu would have overturned the food table.With one hand waving wildly in the air, Emperor Liu was like a raging lion, roaring continuously: "For such a beast, can she take her own life? How could I have such a stupid daughter! How could she bear it, how could she be willing to do it?" !"

Seeing that Emperor Liu's breath was uneven, people were a little shaken, Yan Tuo stepped forward to support him nervously, his face was scorched, and persuaded: "The princess committed suicide, it is sad, but the little one is bold, please mourn the officials, take care Body!"

"Why are you sad? She thinks that death will make me feel guilty? I don't feel sad, I just feel happy!" Emperor Liu said angrily, "It's a good death! She died cleanly! She doesn't deserve to be my daughter, let alone Not worthy of being the princess of a big man! Such a rebellious girl, living is a waste of court salary!"

Although Emperor Liu said so, Yan Tuo also knew that if it was not for the concern in his heart, Emperor Liu would not behave like this.Seeing that Emperor Liu was gradually becoming nervous, Yan Tuo's feeling of uneasiness also intensified. He was both fearful and fearful. He even didn't know how to persuade him. He was afraid that something bad would cause Emperor Liu to target him. Danger.

Emotional venting was obviously useful. After roaring, Emperor Liu also slowly got rid of his irritable state, and sat down a little weakly. If it wasn't for Yan Tuo's support, he might have fallen down.

With a gloomy face, he was silent for a while, Emperor Liu said: "The order will be passed down, and the news will be blocked. The news about the princess hanging herself is not allowed to spread!"

"Yes!" Seeing that Emperor Liu had returned to his "normal" thinking, he hurriedly responded.After this kind of thing, I am most afraid that Emperor Liu will remain silent.

After a pause, Emperor Liu quickly changed his mind, waved his hand and said: "Forget it! At this point, I'm afraid the word has already spread inside and outside the palace, and the seal cannot be sealed anymore. This unfilial girl has done something stupid, and I will still do it." Can you do even more stupid things to cover up for her?"

However, Emperor Liu's duplicity was revealed again, he hesitated for a while, and then ordered: "Say hello to Sanguan, I don't want the matter of Princess Huaiyang to be recorded in the annals of history!"

"Little understand!"

"Withdraw all the food, I don't want to eat it!" Emperor Liu waved his hands tiredly, and said, "Also, Duke Xuan Wu!"

Yan Tuo was ordered to go, while Emperor Liu slowly got up, entered the side palace room, slowly touched the bed, and lay on his side in a curled up position.At this time, Emperor Liu felt a little empty in his heart, and he was also a little dazed. He didn't know whether to be sad or angry.

Some fragments of memories kept flashing in my mind, including those of Liu Xuan and Concubine Zhou Shu. The one that appeared the most was in the Palace of Shulan, where Concubine Shu danced while Emperor Liu hugged the young Liu Xuan and watched.

Some memories, although hidden deeply, are beautiful after all, and the pale and bleak reality often adds a lot of sadness and desolation to those beautiful things.Unless it was great grief, great pain and great joy, Emperor Liu seldom cried, and before he knew it, the pillow towel was already wet.

It didn't take long to rest, and soon Wu Guogong Liu Hui came to see him. When Emperor Liu sat behind the case again, he had already recovered his usual introversion and indifference.Looking at Liu Hui who was waiting respectfully in the hall, he said hoarsely: "Your sister has gone, do you know?"

Liu Hui's face was sad, and his eyes were slightly red. He nodded, and his tone was a little excited: "Sister, she is too confused! She is too unworthy! She"

Liu Hui was choked up and speechless. Since the death of Concubine Zhou Shu, only Liu Xuan was his direct blood relative. The relationship between brother and sister is deep, and he has always loved and cared for his sister.

Liu Hui knew his sister's character better than Emperor Liu. Ever since Zhang Jing's incident happened, he had been very worried, and even went to the princess mansion to comfort her, just to get a vaccination to prevent Liu Xuan from doing stupid things.Unexpectedly, the result is still sliding into an irreversible abyss.

"Your sister's funeral is up to you!" Emperor Liu calmly ordered, "As for Zhang Wen, you will adopt her from now on, and change her surname to Liu. The surname Zhang is too disgraceful to my grandson!"

"Yes!" Liu Hui answered with cupped hands, wiping away tears.

"Don't be too sad, she is willing to give up her father, brother and child, and death is not a pity!" Emperor Liu said coldly again.

Liu Hui was slightly shocked when he heard the words, but still nodded.

When Liu Hui retreated, Emperor Liu ordered Yan Tuo indifferently: "Designate to Wu Desi, to strictly convict and sentence all those involved in the case of Zhang Jing, those who worked for tigers, those who benefited from him, etc. Don't let any one go! Also, I will take care of all the maidservants who serve the princess!"
