Chasing King

Xie Zhongren was escorted to Taiji hall. He was dressed in prison clothes, his gray hair was scattered, his cheeks were deeply sunken, his back was bent, and his pace was very slow. He looked very old. It was hard for him to live in prison.

Yan Si looks at Xie Zhongren calmly, but what flashed in his mind is the picture that he is wearing a royal dress and embraces everywhere. Once, the eunuch was so beautiful, so dignified, and so powerful that he could do whatever he wanted. Now, he looks like a local dog that everyone shouts to beat.

You have today, too.

When Xie Zhongren saw Yan Sikong kneeling on the ground in a red robe with shackles, he was stunned. Under his loose eyelids, a pair of gray eyes turned around. He immediately guessed the general situation, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

The sound of officials' whispering is like countless mosquitoes flying over the Taiji hall. It hurts to hear them.

Meng duo said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, the guilty Minister Xie Zhongren has arrived. You should ask Yan Sikong to present the memorial to the emperor or read it directly."

Cai Zhongfan also stood up: "I think that Yan's son-in-law should read it out."

Wish Orchid Pavilion also way: "minister seconds."

Emperor Zhaowu nodded his head. At this time, he was already a little lost.

Yan Sikong's hands were stuck in the shackles of punishment, which was very inconvenient, but he still struggled to unfold the memorial. Before he opened his mouth, he took a look at Xie Zhongren.

Two people's eyes separated from each other, Yan think empty eyes that cold hate and fierce murderous, make Xie Zhongren cold all over.

Yan Sikong turned his eyes back and read in an awe inspiring voice: "Yan Sikong, the right Minister of the Ministry of war, sincerely played. He was always ashamed to share the blame with the traitors and officials. Now, he is remonstrating with them, sacrificing his life to repay them, begging the emperor to eradicate the evil thieves and clean up the inner world. Today, there are Yidi zhuoletai forced the territory outside, and Xie Zhongren, a traitor official, made a mistake in the country, leading to the crisis of the country. Only the internal thief does not go, but the thief can be excluded. Therefore, Chen Xie Zhongren has 18 major crimes! One of the crimes is to monopolize and be good at politics. "

Xie Zhongren shrank to one side and looked at Yan Sikong tremblingly. He didn't know whether he was angry or afraid.

Yan Sikong read out Xie Zhongren's sin in an unashamed way. Every one of them was well founded and reasonable. He was civil and military in the Manchu Dynasty. He could understand several of them just by hearing, witnessing and personally experiencing them. He could be said to have all kinds of human and material resources.

The more emperor Zhaowu listened, the more ugly his face became. His forehead was sweating. Yu Ji took out a silk to wipe it for him, but he grabbed it, lifted the jade crown and wiped it tremblingly.

The memorial was read out for nearly an hour. When he read that they had captured Guangning garrison Yuanmao, his voice trembled unconsciously. There was an indescribable pain that almost burst out of his chest, but he was suppressed. He knew that this matter was too old to be researched, and it could not be a key one. After the impeachment of Xie Zhongren, he brought out his main party members one by one and "sentenced them to death", including several shameful things Yan Sikong himself participated in, which he showed on the paper without any tolerance. Because he disclosed himself, his hands are full of evidence, which is more convincing.

When Yan Sikong finished his last sentence of "kowtow to shengduan", his back was wet, his mind was in a trance, and his legs were shaking violently because of kneeling for a long time. Although his lips were pale and his face looked like a vegetable, he seemed to collapse, but his eyes were not lax. Instead, he glared at Xie Zhongren more fiercely.

He still gave up everything. If he could not get rid of Xie Zhongren, he would be a total failure.

At this time, on the main hall, the officials who had already knelt down for half fell on the ground and shivered.

It took Xie Zhongren a long time to recover. He knelt down in the middle of the hall and cried, "Your Majesty, I've been wronged. Yan Sikong is bloody. This man and this man are so cruel that they can't be trusted for deceiving their master and destroying their ancestors."

Emperor Zhaowu was stunned for a long time before he said feebly, "do you have something to say

Or was mengduo the first one to stand up and ask aloud, "Xie Zhongren, do you know what a dead bullet is? This crown and red robe began in Han and Tang Dynasties, and spread to our Dynasty. It is of great significance. Who dares to play *? Lord Yan's death must be based on solid evidence. Will he pay for his life in order to slander you? "

"Nonsense Xie Zhongren trembled and said, "Yan Sikong is a villain. He is always alive. Before his illness, he was more filial than his son. When Yan Ge died, he flattered me. Now he sees me in prison and comes down again. He is insidious and vicious. He is cunning and cunning. He He's the one

Meng duo said, "Yan Sikong has already declared his guilt. He can't escape the blame. The person he impeached should also be tried by the three judges." He arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, I sincerely request that the criminal evidence presented by Yan Sikong be returned to Dali temple!"

"Your majesty Yang Yuqing, Minister of the Ministry of war, yelled, "how can I hear Yan Sikong's one-sided words and punish him rashly and wrongly?"

All the eunuchs cried out: "I am wronged."

Yan Sikong's ears were full of disorderly arguments. It was not enough for the two factions to scold each other. He was almost about to jump up and fight. His legs were so numb that he could hardly kneel down. These days, in order to sort out the evidence and write memorials, he can't sleep at night, can't remember to eat, and his body has never been so empty.

After reading the memorial of impeachment, it's as if he was suddenly released after 17 years of hard work. At this moment, he can't support himself any more. In the dark, he fell to the ground——

When Yan Sikong wakes up, she unexpectedly finds that she has been put into prison.

As for Xie Zhongren and others, he knew that Meng duo and others would not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and Emperor Zhaowu, a monarch who lacked his own ideas, could not fight the ministers of dragon and Phoenix among them.

However, he still did not dare to take it lightly. He also thought that the cabinet, together with the prince in charge, would surely kill the castration party, but he did not want the outcome to be so painful.

He was lying on a hard couch smelling of mildew and decay. His mind was in chaos. He wanted to know what kind of scene the bloodbath was now caused by him, but he was already in prison. The rest was left to Meng duo, Zhao Fuyi and others. As for whether he could leave here or not, it was up to Wan Yang.

He looked at the gray top of his head and suddenly laughed at himself.

Finally, he came in. He has done his best. If heaven has eyes, let evil prevail over right, let haiyanheqing, let him avenge this blood feud!

-

he stayed in prison for two days, but no one paid any attention to him except the waiter. On the third day, he met mendor, who wanted to bring him to trial.

According to Da Sheng's law, whether he is innocent or not, he has to whip ten times before he is put on trial.

Yan Sikong said with a bitter smile, "Mr. Tingwei, I have confessed all of them. Can I get rid of the ten lashes?"

Meng duo looked at him with a straight face: "Meng, as the Minister of Dali temple, how can he know that the law is against the law? Lord Yan will be wronged."

Yan Sikong was put on the instrument of torture. The jailer took down the whip and fell heavily on the ground. With a sound, his heart trembled.

Yan think empty light smile, no words.

The jailer whipped Yan Sikong's back.

Back suddenly lit up a long dragon of fire, pain only drill brain, he bite teeth.

The whip was whipped on his back, and the white prison clothes suddenly exuded bloodstains. Until the end of the whip, Yan Si was in a cold sweat, and his teeth were trembling. He knew that the jailer had been lenient, otherwise it would have been skin splitting and flesh splitting, and he would not have been able to stand.

The jailer put Yan Sikong down and let him sit in the chair. His back hurt so much that he didn't dare to lean on it, so he had to lean forward awkwardly.

Meng duo said, "Yan Sikong, if I ask you, you should answer truthfully."

"What happened to Xie Zhongren." Yan Sikong asked first.

Meng duo was stunned, and the jailer said, "be bold. Now it's the captain Ting who interrogates you. It's not your turn to speak!"

Yan Sikong turns a deaf ear, but stares at Meng duo.

Mendor was silent for a moment and waved: "you all go down. I'll try him alone."

"Yes Several jailers filed out.

Yan Sikong asked, "Mr. Meng, what happened to the eunuch?"

"Your Majesty has ordered the third division of justice to thoroughly investigate every person and thing you mentioned in the impeachment petition. Xie Zhongren was sentenced today. He should..." Meng duo deeply exhaled, "can't turn over."

Yan Sikong's eyes were so hot that his tears rolled down unprepared. If it wasn't for the pain behind his back, he would almost think he was dreaming.

Xie Zhongren was sentenced, he will be severely tried, whether he can survive or not, Emperor Zhaowu has completely abandoned him, as Meng duo said, he can not turn over.

Seventeen years, he finally ushered in this day, he paid everything, is for this day!

Looking at Yan Sikong's tears, Meng duo frowned deeply: "Mr. Yan, before General Zhao left, he told us to believe you and help you complete the impeachment. Now we have all got what we wanted and killed the traitor for the world and the people. But what you have done over the years really puzzles Meng."

Yan Sikong said calmly: "I have a grudge against the eunuch. After the teacher died, I muddle along and live on his side, just to collect evidence and wait for revenge."

"I see." Meng duo sighed with emotion and arched his hand, "Lord Yan has to endure humiliation and endure humiliation. For this reason, he does not hesitate to bear the blame. It's really admirable."

"I don't deserve it." Yan Sikong sneered, "I'm also a member of the eunuch party. Although I didn't mean it, I also helped the tyrant. I'm unforgivable. I just want to ask your majesty to plead for my atonement and meritorious service in front of your majesty. "

"Mr. Yan is worried too much. If the crime reported by Mr. Yan is true, he will not die. Mr. Yan is also the son-in-law, and there are general Zhao and commander Zhu pleading for you. Your majesty will take it lightly." Meng duo said again, "we will also speak well for Lord Yan."

"Thank you, Captain ting."

"The main purpose of Mr. Meng's trial of Mr. Yan today is to verify the crime of castrating the party. Mr. Yan will answer truthfully."

"I will tell you everything."

Meng duo slightly raised his eyebrows: "since he knows everything, it's better to start from how Lord Yan and Xie Zhongren formed a feud."

Yan Sikong was stunned and silent.

"Why, Lord Yan doesn't want to say? It must be in the charge of impeachment that you have entered into a feud with him. "Yan Sikong took a deep breath: "to be honest, I'm from Taining."

Meng duo was surprised: "are you from Liaodong? But you... "

Yan Sikong nodded: "twenty one years ago, Han Zhaoxing lost Qingzhou. His majesty ordered to give up the seven states in northern Liaoning. My family died of illness and starvation on the way to the south. My family was ruined." He closed his eyes. He was still young at that time. Now he remembers that his heart is as still as water. But the pain is destined to be a nightmare that accompanies him. "I hide my origin, change my accent, and become an official in the court for fear of being detected by the castration party."

"You became an official in court just for revenge?"

"Yes, but I advise Mr. Ting Wei not to write this matter into the case trial, otherwise he will be seized by the eunuch party and denounce me for faking the public for personal gain."

"Don't worry, I understand." Meng duo looked at Yan Sikong with pity.

They talked for two hours. Yan Sikong told us what he knew. He thought that his impeachment would add weight. Together with the evidence that he almost couldn't pull down, it would help the eunuch party to be executed.

After the end of the trial that day, Wan Yang also came to visit him in prison at the right time - his abdomen was slightly raised.

When Yan Sikong saw her, she had a bottom in her heart. She said with a smile, "my wife has come to see me."

Wan Yang looked at Yan Sikong with very complicated eyes. She said in a low voice: "I can't understand you more and more."

"What's the matter if you can't understand it?" Yan Sikong withstood the whip wound and slowly climbed to the front of the iron fence, "madam, you can take the wound medicine."

Wan Yang took out a bottle of top-quality acne medicine from the wooden basket she was carrying. She frowned at Yan Sikong: "you How seriously hurt? "

"It's no big deal with flesh and skin injuries."

Wan Yang pursed his lips, but he didn't say anything in the end: "this is the soup boiled by Mammy, and some dishes you usually like to eat."

"Thank you, madam." Yan Sikong is not polite, holding a bowl to eat.

Wan Yang watched Yan Sikong gobble, several times want to ask, and want to talk and stop, finally, she turned to one side of the gaoler: "you, out."

"Your Highness, when visiting criminals, I want to..."

"My princess is visiting my husband, who allows you to stand here as an outsider." Wanyang apricot eyes a stare, "get out!"

"Hall, your highness..."

"Why, you don't pay attention to the princess?" Wan Yang said in a loud voice, "if Meng duo has any objection, ask him to come to me."

"I dare not, I will go down now!" The jailer backed out in terror.

Yan Sikong also put down his chopsticks and said: "Your Highness, the eunuch party is over. This is the time of liquidation. It's time to pass all the grievances of Fengjia on to Xie Zhongren. If your majesty intends to vindicate Fengjia, this is the biggest bargaining chip for me to negotiate with Fengye. I must get out of here as soon as possible."

Wan Yang said in a low voice, "I know that I will go to the Palace tomorrow to ask my father, but I have a question that you must answer truthfully."

"Go ahead, please."

"Why do you want to help my cousin?"

Without hesitation, Yan Sikong said, "I am a minister of Dasheng. What reason do I need to calm down the civil strife and share my worries for you?"

"I don't believe it!" Wan Yang said sternly, "don't fool me with these high sounding words. I've been married to you for three years, and I don't know who you are? You can't get up early without profit. Who knows what you are planning for yourself. "

Yan Sikong said with a smile: "if I can say that I have been granted the title, it will be a great achievement. It will not only relieve me of my guilt, but also make your majesty appreciate me more. Besides... " He said sincerely, "Fengye is your cousin. How can I bear to see you suffer from this?"

Wan Yang's heart trembled, and she looked at Yan Sikong, her eyes flashing, obviously very moved.

Yan Sikong arched his hand: "please, your highness. General Zhao Fuyi will also recommend me to fight against the rebellion. Your majesty is working hard for the castration party at this time, and has no time to take care of me. As long as your Majesty's heart is soft, it can be done."

Wan Yang nodded: "give it to me."

"Thank you, your highness."

Wan Yang picked up the dishes and said hesitantly, "you Take good care of yourself. " Then he lowered his head, picked up the wooden basket, got up and left.
