Mrs. Pinqiao

Chapter 16
When Tan Su met Li Jue for the first time, it was not at Prince Jing's mansion, but in Lizhou, on a sunny afternoon.

That day, the sun was so bright, it was as bright as the morning, and it slanted in from the window. The storyteller was so eloquent that he blew Li Yu into the sky and the earth. At that time, Li Yu was not King Jing, and the old emperor had not died. The beloved prince, everyone said that he will be the heir apparent in the future.

Tan Su was lying on the edge of the table and listening. She was only 12 years old at the time, dressed in men's clothing, as thin as a bamboo pole, her eyes were round and round, so bright that they were frighteningly bright. A question: "There is an eldest prince above the third prince. How can the third prince be the crown prince?"

The storyteller did not agree with her point of view at all, and immediately objected, "Since ancient times, a king should be a virtuous man, how can the merits of the third prince be compared with that of the eldest prince?"

"It is true to say so, but if the crown prince is not established for a day, it is not certain who will be the emperor in the future."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a lot of laughter around her, saying that she was whimsical, the yellow-haired child, He Jin was not convinced, and wanted to refute, only to hear a crisp voice: "Actually, what this little brother said is not unreasonable." .”

He Jin stretched his neck to look over, the crowd was too dense, he couldn't see anything, he only heard the crisp voice and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter who is the emperor, the important thing is that the brothers are united, so that we can stay safe and fight against the outside world." ..."

He Jin jumped off the table and got into the crowd. When he raised his head, he saw a person sitting by the window. The sunlight falling on his fingertips was not as dazzling as him. Dust-free, as indifferent as the wind.

"Instead of talking about things far away in the capital, let's talk about what happened in Lizhou." As soon as he opened his mouth, He Jin's thoughts froze, and only his clear voice and his smiling eyes were in his ears.

The storyteller was also shocked by his demeanor, he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, wondering when did Lizhou have such a character?
He Jin was very courageous, walked up to him, and said crisply: "What do you want to know about Lizhou? I know everything."

Li Jue laughed out loud, stretched out his fan and hit her on the top of her head, a piece of jade pendant was brought out by his hand, shining brightly, "Didn't you sneak out of a private school to listen to books?"

There was laughter all around, He Jin puffed up his mouth angrily, turned around and ran away from the crowd.

Later, I heard that a big man came to Lizhou, who came to investigate corrupt officials. When I saw him again, it was the day when the county magistrate of Lizhou was tried. After hearing the news, she went to school again. Squeezing to the front, I could only see a white dress from a distance, upright and strict, and the gavel was inspiring.

The fall of a corrupt official is really gratifying. On the day Li Jue left, the people saw Li Jue off on the long street with drums beating loudly. Tan Su skipped class and wanted to see him off, but her father found out and punished her to kneel in the ancestral hall and not allow her to eat for a day.

When Tan Su finished kneeling, it was already dark. She squatted beside the closed city gate, refusing to leave. The guards guarding the gate found her and asked her why she didn't go back.

Her eyes were bright, she grabbed his hand and asked: "Brother, who is the adult who is leaving today? What is his official position in the court?"

"I heard from my brother in the county government that the lord seems to be a relative of the emperor, and he wears a dragon-shaped jade pendant."

Tan Su had seen that piece of jade pendant before, and the word "Jue" was engraved on it, a four-clawed dragon.

From that day on, Tan Su felt that something was wrong with her. A few years later, she could still think of Fanghua when he lowered his eyebrows and chuckled for a moment. She often stared at the red and green clothes in a daze, and saw the rouge When she was using gouache, she felt itchy in her heart. She once secretly bought one and hid it in a box. After three or five years, she even forgot about it, but her father accidentally discovered it.

Her father made her kneel in the ancestral hall, beat her with three vine whips, and scolded her for not being able to live up to her expectations. At that time, her father was already a little out of order, and after forcing her to take the scholar examination, he even went to the county government to register her for the exam.

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, who dares to deceive?

Tan Su absolutely cannot do such a rebellious thing, if he is found out, it will be a crime against the whole family!She hurriedly bought women's clothes, regained her daughter's body, and went to the academy to plead guilty to her husband. The shocked eyes of those people along the way pierced her heart like an awl. The moment her husband learned the truth, he almost fainted and scolded She was "disgraceful to gentleness" and "yin and yang reversed". She was kicked out with a broom by her classmates, lest she tarnish the holy place of the school.

Tan Su withstood all criticisms. After resigning from her studies, she changed her official status and became a real daughter. She showed her father that her ambition was not to gain fame and fame, and dispelled his absurd thoughts.

Tan Su still still remembers the situation that day, and her father was unusually not angry, and only said: "Time is also fate." He shut himself in the room for a long time, and Tan Su also refused to go to see him in anger. , When she finally realized what happened the next day, it was already too late. Her father climbed up to the beam and hung himself on it, strangled him to death, and hung him at the door. His body was completely cold all night long.

Tan Su was so small that she couldn't remove the corpse, so she sat beside the corpse and watched for three days and three nights until she was discovered.

It has only been a few days since her father's body was buried, and the first seven days have not yet passed. The local bullies bully her alone, occupy her house, and those who want to occupy her. She goes to the county government to sue, and the new county magistrate accepts For the benefit, she refused to accept her case, and awarded her house to the bully. She had nowhere to go, so she could only leave Lizhou, and took the case to the capital to sue the imperial court.

The two-month long journey tortured her so badly that she had no choice but to beg along the street after exhausting all the money on the road. When she finally arrived in the capital, she realized that Li Jue had not become the emperor, but a king of Jing. It is really heartbreaking to have a treacherous concubine in power, an emperor in a daze, and a treacherous minister like Ning Zimo.

The idea of ​​suing the imperial court was stifled in her heart, and Tan Su was deeply worried. Today's Da Nie is suffering from internal and external troubles. Only Jing Wang Li Yu is struggling to support her. She can even imagine Li Jue's sleepless nights. Every day that Da Nie can't get up, Li Jue can't have any peace.

Tan Su felt that the true righteousness should be like Li Jue, who sacrificed the ego to achieve everyone, including herself.

She tore up the certificate that night, pawned the family jade pendant, and her whole body was completely new. She threw away all distracting thoughts and vowed to follow Li Jue and eradicate corrupt officials in the world.

A person with righteousness in his heart is a real hero, and he is worthy of her life and death.
