Taiping Inn

The inn is divided into two floors, dining in the lobby on the first floor and accommodation in the second floor.

When Li Xuandu came, Qingluan Guard had already taken over the entire second floor, so he had never stepped onto the second floor.

The Zhou Tingchao family he wanted to save was placed in the room of the C-font size on the second floor by Qingluanwei. Just as Li Xuandu and Yu Qingning were fighting fiercely in the rain, a man came from the rain, but did not walk through the front door, but quietly entered the lobby from the back door, and then climbed the second floor along the stairs. , finally stopped in front of the door of the C-font room.

The visitor hesitated for a moment and pushed the door open. At this time, the family knew about the fight outside. The woman hugged her daughter and hugged on the bed. A middle-aged man in blue shirt blocked in front and protected the two of them. Behind you.

When the woman holding her daughter saw the visitor, she felt as if she was depressed.

The person who came stood still, his feet were slightly separated from his eight characters, his hands were carried, and his blue official uniform was particularly dazzling.

Customized by the Great Wei court, officials above the third rank wear red official uniforms, officials above the sixth rank wear purple official uniforms, seventh rank and seventh rank wear blue official uniforms, so-called "those who retreat from the snow will have the red purple and marquises" It comes from this.

Only one kind of person can wear blue official uniforms.

That is Qingluanwei.

Qingluan Guards all wore green official uniforms from the left and right governors to the strong men, the lieutenant, and the small flag. The only difference is the patterns embroidered on the official uniforms. From the first-rank left governor to be rewarded by the emperor, embroidered pythons, also known as python robe; from the second-rank right governor to be surrendered to be surrendered to be surrendered to be surrendered to be surrendered to be surrendered to be surrendered to be surrendered to be surrendered to be surrendered to be surrendered to be surrendered to be surrendered to be surrendered to be surrendered to be surrendered to be surrendered to be surrendered to be surrendered to be surrendered to be surrendered to be surrendered to be surrendered to be surrendered to be surrendered to be surrendered to be surrendered to be surrendered to be surrendered to be surrendered to be surrendered to be surrendered to be surrendered to be surrendered to be surrender Embroidered bullfighting is called bullfighting uniform.

The person in front of him was wearing a bullfighting uniform and a Wenluan knife on his waist.

This shows that the visitor is a senior official of Qingluan Guard who is above the third rank, and unlike the young commander, the visitor looks about forty years old, has been through weather and frost, and is obviously not the kind of person born in the bell and dying tripod. The young master of the family can compare.

The visitor used a substantial vision to scan Zhou Tingchao's family of three, and finally his eyes fell on Zhou Tingchao and said slowly, "My name is Qian Xing, the deputy governor of Qingluan Guard, who came from the imperial capital."

Zhou Tingchao stood in front of the mother and daughter without speaking.

The uninvited guest named Qian Xing didn't care and continued, "It's impossible for Zhao Lian to accomplish a big deal and was beaten up by others. It was expected that I came here this time to have another intention."

Speaking of this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised and he said, "When talking about this, I admire Lord Zhou's courage. He even dared to write a letter saying that this year's war in the northwest, the severe drought in Liaodong, and the flood in Jiangnan were all due to the people of the court. Because of the lack of practice, hens say that the country is restless. This is what Zhang Suqing dared not say back then. No wonder the Empress Dowager was so angry that she smashed the warm jade in her hand to pieces. "

Zhou Tingchao raised his head and said nothing.

Qian Xing cleared his throat and said, "After the order, I will ask you one last time, what does the country mean to be uneasy?"

Zhou Tingchao, who had been holding his head high, finally said, "I have already made it clear in the memorial that there has never been a precedent for the Empress Dowager to rule from behind the curtain. Instead, there is an iron rule that the harem cannot interfere in politics. Now the Empress Dowager is instructing the government. , which violated the laws of the ancestors. In addition, the excessive expenses in the palace were excessive, so the empress dowager was organized for the birthday ceremony, the rebuilding of the Western Garden, and the various yamen were greedy. The national treasury had long been empty and the people were living in poverty, so the war in the northwest, the drought in Liaodong, and the Jiangnan. Floods are all warnings from God, so we must observe them."

"I'm stubborn!" Qian Xing sighed with a little disappointment. Although the sound was not loud, it exuded a creepy and terrifying meaning.

Without seeing how he moved, Zhou Tingchao suddenly pounced forward and lay on the ground of the guest room. His whole body was in a large shape and could not move.

Seeing this scene, the woman covered her mouth tightly with her pear blossoms, not daring to cry out loud. The young girl in her arms was confused and just cried with her mother.

Qian Xing hesitated for a moment, but still didn't take action immediately. He walked to Zhou Tingchao's side, squatted down slowly, and said softly in his ear: "Behind you is your wife and daughter, they are all looking at you." And, waiting for you to take them home safely, even if you don’t think about yourself or for them, you can’t change the statement?”

Zhou Tingchao's head was close to the ground, slowly closing his eyes, and only two lines of clear tears flowed down from the corners of his eyes.

Qian Xing was disappointed and suddenly stood up and said, "I'll ask you another question, who taught you these things? As long as you say the person behind your command, the Empress Dowager can leave the blame, even if you are promoted to the title, No, no."

Zhou Tingchao still closed his eyes and said with a firm tone: "Since Emperor Taizu Gao established the dynasty, my Great Wei has been two hundred years old. The towering Great Wei, how magnificent! I am an official of the Great Wei Dynasty. I am a memorial to correct me. The king’s way is to understand the duties of the minister. I will follow this memorial and make this statement. This is the position of the minister. I don’t need anyone to teach me where the minister’s position is.”

Qian Xing took a step back, stopped looking at him, and sighed again, "I am regarded as a gun, but I still don't know it myself and I'm stubborn."

He suddenly increased his tone, "Do you know that the memorial you have already involved the foundation of my Great Wei Dynasty!"

Zhou Tingchao closed his eyes and said nothing.

Qian Xing lowered his voice again and said, "Now, there are many people in the outer court who have been implicated by you. Your old friends and colleagues, as well as your hometown friendship in the same year, have been arrested. Today you must continue to be obsessed with it, and those people are one of them. Everyone has to die. Do you know these things? No matter how your wife and daughter are, you can't ignore the lives of others, right? Don't you want to save them?"

Zhou Tingchao grabbed the ground with his ten fingers, almost overturning his nails, and his face showed a look of grief and sobbing softly.

But he still didn't let go.

Qian Xing's tone turned cold and said, "You have been given the name of memorials and hiding evil intentions. You have written such great rebellious words, from Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager to the Cabinet and the Six Ministers and Nine Ministers, you are full of righteous indignation. Since you insist that no one is behind you Instructing you, that is that you are crazy and invite a direct name!”

Zhou Tingchao slowly opened his eyes, and the tears on his face had not dried up, and he murmured: "I, Zhou Tingchao, are not a Jinshi in the first class, are not a Jinshi in the second class, but are just a Jinshi in the third class, and have no intention of being promoted. The cabinet was appointed as the prime minister, but the king's fortune was a matter of loyalty. The Great Wei Dynasty was deficient in the treasury every year. After the empress dowager came to the dynasty, she also launched a large-scale construction. Officials at all levels were flattered and took the opportunity to plunder, causing the people to live in poverty. So I have to submit this memorial, one is for the country and the country of the Great Wei, and the other is for the people of the Great Wei!”

Qian Xing looked down on his face and said with no expression: "The evil words confuse the public and slander the court. According to the laws of the Great Wei Dynasty, he will be punished without mercy."
