The short-lived ghost of the Xie family has lived a long life

Chapter 360 Thanks
Zhao Yishi knew what his father was worried about.

His Majesty has always disliked him. No matter how well he does his job, he can always pick out a few bones from the egg.

Yan Ruxian has been with His Majesty for decades, his house was ransacked, and Your Majesty did not put him in jail. It was obvious that he wanted to spare his life.

Now that the old eunuch is bound to die, Your Majesty is unhappy. Will he be angry with him?

May be.

Because the last words my father said to that Facebook student today were not very appropriate.

You will eventually wait until this day - although these words are meant to appease the scholar, if you look closely, they have the hidden meaning of intimidating His Majesty.

After hearing this sentence behind Zhu Men's back, he broke into a cold sweat.

But the words have been spoken, what else can be done.

Zhao Yishi had not had a drop of water since his early morning visit, and had no energy to calm the prince's anxiety. He bowed and quietly retreated out.

The rain is still falling.

Shen Chong held up an umbrella and stepped forward, "Your Highness, should we eat first or take a shower and change clothes first?"

Zhao Yishi walked out of the umbrella slowly and asked without warning, "Why did she get mixed up among the scholars?"

Shen Chong was stunned by the question.

……

In the warm pavilion.

The emperor glanced at Feng Changxiu, who was kneeling down below, and said, "Tell me, what is going on outside?"

Feng Changxiu did not dare to hide anything, so he told the emperor one by one how the scholars gathered, how they clashed with the Jin Yiwei, and how the prince rescued the siege... one by one.

After hearing this, the emperor frowned coldly and said something that frightened Feng Changxiu, "Everyone is so brave."

Who are each of them?

A scholar?
Is it Jin Yiwei?

Or... someone else?

Feng Changxiu did not dare to answer the conversation and could only lower his head lower.

"You lead another team to secretly investigate Chun Wei's matter."

The emperor stood up, reached out and patted Feng Changxiu on the shoulder, "Old censor, you should also be careful.

Feng Changxiu: "I obey the order."

Emperor Yonghe put his hands behind his back and said, "Get up and walk outside with me."

"Yes."

Feng Changxiu quickly got up from the ground and followed the emperor. After walking a few steps, he heard the emperor ask: "Do you think Yan Ruxian deserves to die?"

Feng Changxiu raised his eyelids and glanced at the emperor's back, and said respectfully: "Whether it's life or death, I only listen to your majesty."

Emperor Yonghe snorted, said no more, and slowly walked out of Nuan Pavilion.

The little eunuch on duty at the door saw the emperor coming out and hurriedly held up an umbrella and stepped forward: "Your Majesty, do you want to prepare a chariot?"

"Give Mr. Feng the umbrella. You don't have to follow me."

"Yes!"

……

The monarch and his ministers walked together in silence.

Feng Changxiu was purged to serve the emperor at the age of 12, and joined the Imperial Guard at the age of 22. For ten years, he had a somewhat clear idea of ​​the emperor's temperament.

Such silence is rare and shows that the emperor has something on his mind.

After walking for less than half a cup of tea, we arrived in front of a palace gate. Emperor Yonghe coldly ordered: "Clear the place."

Without saying a word, the guard immediately called everyone in the courtyard out.

"Master Feng is also waiting for me here."

"Yes."

Emperor Yonghe then raised his feet and stepped into the threshold.

The residences of eunuchs in the palace are all called zhifang, but zhifang and zhifang are different. The zhifang where the most favored eunuch lives is right next to the Yangxin Hall.

Yan Ruxian was kneeling on the ground in the courtyard, his gray hair particularly conspicuous in the moonlight.

As people get older, there are memories that cannot be wiped away even if they are wiped with a rag.

Emperor Yonghe looked at this old servant who had served him for decades, feeling somewhat melancholy.

Yan Ruxian opened his eyelids, looked at the bright yellow in front of him, and shouted: "Your Majesty, this old slave has been wronged!" Wrongfully accused?

Emperor Yonghe sneered.

"You were the one who bought and sold officials, weren't you? You were greedy for the money from the Twelfth Prison, right? You still reached out to Chunwei?"

Yan Ruxian raised his head fiercely, just as Emperor Yonghe looked down at him.

The master and the servant looked at each other, one high and the other low. Yan Ruxian looked at the coldness in the emperor's eyes, and slowly touched his head to the ground again.

"Old slave, capital punishment!"

A surge of anger rose from the depths of Emperor Yonghe's heart.

Check it out.

The person who just moments ago was complaining about being wronged is now claiming to be guilty of a capital crime. How quickly does his face change?They all look like loyal ministers and filial sons, and there is nothing they dare not do behind the scenes!

The emperor touched Yan Ruxian's head with his foot. "Are you all bullying me?"

"Your Majesty, I don't dare to do this. I'm out of my mind. I know I'm wrong. I beg your Majesty to spare my life."

The emperor didn't seem to hear him. He stared at the bright moon in the sky and suddenly said for no reason: "I remember that you and Concubine Li have always been on good terms."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Yan Ruxian was so frightened that he crawled forward a few steps using both hands and feet, "God would lend me a few hundred or tens of thousands of courage, but I wouldn't dare..."

"What else do you dare not do!"

Emperor Yonghe suddenly became stern and said, "You even dare to interfere with Chunwei. Do you still have me and the national law in your eyes?"

"The old slave will never be able to atone for his sins even if he dies."

"Say!"

Emperor Yonghe was extremely angry and kicked him, "How did you collude with Li Xing inside and outside?"

Yan Ruxian was kicked to the ground. He got up in a hurry and cried bitterly: "Empress Li is Li Xing's little daughter. I promise to take care of her. As long as Li Xing, as long as he..."

That’s how it turns out!
Not only did he buy and sell his official position, not only did he reach out to Chunwei, this bitch slave actually used his concubines... No wonder Lu Shi said that he was a promiscuous person in the palace.

Emperor Yonghe's heart felt cold, "Very good, very good!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Yan Ruxian crawled over and hugged the emperor's ankle tightly.

"I'm wrong, I'm really wrong. I beg your Majesty, please spare my life for the sake of me serving you all my life!"

The older a person gets, the more afraid of death he is. Even if he is worse than a pig or a dog, he still wants to live.

Because as long as he lives on, one day His Majesty will suddenly remember his merits, and he will be able to enjoy glory and wealth again.

After Emperor Yonghe's chest rose and fell a few times, he looked at his old face, raised his feet, and freed Yan Ruxian's hands.

"Xiao Xianzi, I can't protect you this time."

Two lines of turbid tears fell from Yan Ruxian's eyes.

The name Xiao Xianzi was given to him when he was still a prince.

At that time, he was still very young and full of energy. He spent ten of the twelve hours a day by His Majesty's side. The relationship between master and servant began at that time.

how many years?

Yan Ruxian himself can't even remember.

What he could remember was that he was standing next to the emperor, and everyone called him "Eunuch Yan" in a respectful and flattering tone.

He is Eunuch Yan, the most favored person around the emperor, and no one can surpass him.

He worked hard as a cow and a horse in the first half of his life, why can't he live upright and like a man in the second half of his life?

He wants power, money, women, and concubines...

His father-in-law Yan wants to have everything that powerful men in the world have. How could it be wrong?How did it get to this point?

Emperor Yonghe turned around.

"I will have your descendants' roots sewn on."

Yan Ruxian raised his head fiercely and looked at the emperor's back in disbelief.

After watching for a long time, he took his sleeves, wiped away his tears, and then bent down to the ground.

"Xiao Xianzi, thank you Lord for your kindness."
