Invincible son

Chapter 1080 1081【Dying Person】

When the sky is bright.

Imperial City, Harem, Neifang.

Daliang inherited the old system of the former Wei Dynasty, and there were a large number of eunuchs and court ladies living in the palace, all of which were under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.The Ministry of Internal Affairs is divided into the Internal Service Supervisor and the Bureau of the Palace. The chief officer is the Young Supervisor, which has been in vain for many years.Further down, everyone knows that there are two real powers known as Liu Bao and Hou Yu, both of whom are old people close to Emperor Kaiping.

The scale of the internal servant prison is huge, and there are six bureaus under it: Yeting, Gongwei, Xiguan, Neifu, Neifu, and Neifang, of which Neifang is responsible for punishing wrongdoers.If there are offenders in the court ladies and inner eunuchs, they are generally dealt with by Neifang.

In recent days, the palace has been restless. Many palace people were found out by Luan Yiwei and then taken to Zhao Prison for interrogation. Neifang has calmed down instead.Only since last night, there have been wailing sounds from time to time in a remote courtyard in Neifang, intermittently quite tragic.

"Wow—"

A basin of cold water was poured on the face of the middle-aged man on the rack, and his hair was disheveled and bloodstained all over his body, and his white shirt was already dirty.

The middle-aged man was already so angry that he was stunned by the whipping before, but now he was suddenly shocked by the cold water, and he couldn't help moaning in pain.

Surrounded by several young inner eunuchs with big arms, round waists and fierce faces, sitting at an elm table not far away was a palace man in his 30s, dressed in a red official robe, holding a cup of fragrant tea, leisurely tasting .

His appearance is handsome, but there is a bit of prey in his eyes.

He put the teacup back on the table, turned his head to look at the middle-aged man on the rack, and said unhurriedly: "You all know that our family and the children spent the whole night with you. He is a tough man, if this continues, don't blame our family for not being fond of the past. You must know the number of ways to serve people in the inner workshop. If you really want to try everything, I'm afraid you don't have much. A good piece of meat."

The young eunuchs next to him were all his confidantes, and they couldn't help laughing out loud when they heard this.

The middle-aged man who has endured all kinds of torture is known to Liu Bao by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He raised his head and looked at the arrogant Hou Yu opposite, and said with difficulty: "Hou Yu, what exactly do you want to know?"

While checking his nails, Hou Yu said in a cold voice: "Your Majesty asked me to ask you, who ordered you to report the news that Empress Chen intends to commit suicide?"

Liu Bao shook his head slightly and said, "I've said it many times before, but no one ordered it. At that time, the empress expressed her intentions, how dare we, as slaves, hide it and not report it? Hou Yu, I know that you have always wanted to monopolize the power of the internal servants. Now it is natural You won't miss this opportunity, and you won't let me go no matter what. If that's the case, you don't want to beat me up!"

Hou Yu raised the corners of his mouth and said disdainfully: "Let me ask you again, who instigated it? Even if you refuse to say, the gold, silver and jewels found in your residence can still convict you of colluding with foreign courts. !"

Liu Bao said angrily: "You are spitting blood! When did I collude with foreign ministers?"

Hou Yu got up and walked in front of him, took the water-soaked whip from one of his confidantes, and suddenly whipped it hard on Liu Bao's body, listening to his howl with excitement.

He whipped more than ten whips before he stopped, then stretched out his hand to grab the other party's gray and messy hair, leaned over and said, "No? You think you did it without anyone noticing? Those gold and silver jewels are not from the palace. As long as our family interrogates your godsons carefully, we are not afraid that we will not be able to find out. Let me tell you, asking you now is giving you a chance to die quickly. If we really want our family to investigate by ourselves, then you will not die even if you want to. !"

Liu Bao was out of breath, with tears all over his face, and said slowly: "I was not ordered by anyone. As for my belongings, I'm afraid I'll tell you who sent them, and you dare not check!"

Hou Yu reprimanded: "You are still stubborn when you are about to die! Tell me, who is it?"

Liu Bao looked up at him resentfully, and said word by word: "Zhongshan Hou Peiyue!"

Hou Yu let go of his hand subconsciously after hearing this name, and then felt that this was too weak, and was about to say a few harsh words, when a confidant ran in quickly and said: "You know, Your Majesty summoned you to Xingqing temple."

Hou Yu spat on Liu Bao's face with a mouthful of thick phlegm, and then asked in a low voice, "Why did Your Majesty summon you?"

The man bowed and replied: "Marquis Zhongshan has already entered the palace, Your Majesty wants to see him."

Hou Yu was startled for a moment, then immediately asked, "Pei... the Marquis of Zhongshan is back?"

The man was a little excited and said: "Yes, he also brought the head of the traitor Wang Pingzhang. It is said that the adults from the outer court greeted him in the square in front of the Chengtian Palace! Now it has spread in the palace, and everyone It is said that Marquis Zhongshan is the martial arts star descending from the sky!"

"Snapped!"

Hou Yu slapped the man on the face, then turned his head and said to his confidants angrily, "Look at this old guy, don't let him die!"

"Yes!"

……

Outside Chengtian Hall, the warm and soft sunlight shone on the square, dyeing it into patches of mottled gold.

Pei Yue walked into the imperial city alone carrying a wooden box, and when he came near the Chengtian Palace, the people who accompanied him had already changed from the Xiaohuangmen to the six ministers.

Mo Haoli in power on the left, Luo Ting in power on the right, Hou Xiaojin of Xiangcheng, and Li Zi, the commander of the Forbidden Army who was still seriously injured, stood in a row, their eyes full of approval.

Mo Haoli stepped forward slowly, looked Pei Yue up and down, and said with relief: "The Marquis of Zhongshan has been fighting for days and rescued the dangerous situation. He is a loyal minister and a good general of Daliang."

Pei Yue bowed his head slightly and said: "The old man is ridiculously praised, but the younger generation dare not be."

Next to him, Luo Ting also praised and said: "Don't be humble, Hou Mo of Zhongshan. Although we are trapped in the city, we also know your hard work and contributions during this time. You have made great contributions to suppressing the rebellion in the Beijing camp this time. It is an example of civil and military affairs in the Manchu Dynasty."

The important ministers nearby nodded their heads in greeting.

Pei Yue looked at Luo Ting, saw the warning and worry in his gentle eyes, and couldn't help feeling warm in his heart.

He temporarily suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart, and asked Mo Haoli: "Dare to ask my lord, how is your majesty injured?"

As soon as these words were uttered, the eager atmosphere around him instantly cooled down.

A look of genuine sorrow appeared on Mo Haoli's face, and he sighed: "Your Majesty is waiting for you in Xingqing Hall, hurry up, don't delay."

"Yes."

Pei Yue responded softly, and then walked towards the harem with the wooden box surrounded by court guards.

Behind him, all the important officials of the court stood and looked at him. Some were envious, some were full of worries, and some looked expectant, as if they were expecting something to happen.

Pei Yue has been to the harem many times, and even enjoyed a family banquet hosted by the emperor and concubine here.

In the past, when he walked among these magnificent palaces, he might have some self-reflection in a high position, or some unknown pride, or some longing hidden deep in his heart, but he has never been like today. As heavy and difficult.

What he was going to meet on this trip was a king who had reached the pinnacle of imperial mind.

A king who simply put him in a humble place and trusted him very much.

A king with a firm mind and never being bewitched by foreign objects.

as well as……

A king who is about to die.

He knew that this meeting between himself and Emperor Kaiping would not only end many things in the past, but also determine the fate of many people in the future.

When he came outside the Xingqing Hall, Pei Yue stopped for a while, looked at the three big characters on the plaque, and slowly let out a foul breath.

Walking into the emperor's bedroom, he didn't immediately look at the injured emperor on the dragon bed, nor did he look at Concubine Wu and Crown Prince Liu Xian next to him. He just put the wooden box on the ground, looked at the ground in front of him calmly, and prepared to Pay homage.

However, he just brushed off the hem of his sleeves, and the indifferent voice of Emperor Kaiping came to his ears.

"Flat body."

Pei Yue raised his head, looked at Emperor Kaiping who was looking at him, and then saw the look in his eyes that he never expected to appear.

There is no previous fierceness of about to suppress, no heart-to-heart attitude, and no inscrutable obscurity.

Eyes full of kindness, but also with a bit of sentimentality.

It doesn't look like the appearance that a king should have, but like an ordinary old man looking at a wanderer he hasn't seen for a long time.

Emperor Kaiping and Pei Yue just looked at each other. After a long time, he nodded and said a few words with difficulty.

"Just come back."
