Chapter 44 Blue Blood-stained Jade Step

In the court, there was a solemn and solemnity. The Holy King sat at the top of Jinluan, and his eyes seemed puzzled.

On both sides of the civil and military officials, in the center of the empty hall, there was a man with white hair and sideburns. He was lonely and thin. His eyebrows and eyes were less rigid and decisive, and his eyes were full of wounds.

This person is the prime minister, Lou Duo.

His body is the imperial uniform given by the emperor himself. The years have also reduced its color. The crane and dragon group depicted on his chest are also difficult to distinguish the elegant demeanor of that year. The eyes of this old minister in his twilight flashed with a firm light, and he said to the king who drooped his head, "Your Majesty. It has been nearly a hundred years since the building family took advantage of the royal grace. Thinking about the supreme kindness of the king, I often feel the slight integrity of my public filial piety. I have a lifelong wish to be a horse and drive for the king. However, today I am so old that I can't hear, my ears, my eyes can't see, and my heart can't think. I can no longer share my sorrows and express my feelings for your majesty, and I can't solve the difficulties for the Dafeng Dynasty. Therefore, I submitted my resignation to the king. Fortunately, my majesty will love me, and the prospective minister will return to my hometown. However, when the old minister was about to leave, His Majesty was worried that there would be a treacherous minister of our Lou family in the future. The minister was frightened. He could not eat the sun and sleep at night. When he was tossed around, only the discipline of the current dynasty could show the loyalty of our Lou family.

After his words fell, he waved to his eldest son, Lou Yunliang, who was waiting outside the hall, "Yunliang, if you are a descendant of the Lou family, you will be loyal to the king."

Lou Yunliang walked slowly to the hall, looking calm and calm.

All the officials were impressed. The emperor sat high on the dragon chair, frowned and looked at the young man under the hall.

"Queen, please help me."

Behind him was a guard who chased him in twos and threes. Yunshang ran extremely fast, opened the horsepower of his legs to full, rushed through the interception of the guard in front of him, and broke into the carved door of the Buddhist hall. The door was shaken by Yunshang.

"Bold!" The old lady who accompanied the queen opened her mouth first and motioned the guard to take her down. Unexpectedly, Yunshang rushed directly into the queen's arms after breaking into the door and knelt down on the ground with a bang.

The green ground of the Buddha hall made her knee ache hot, and she didn't care at all. She hugged the queen's leg. "Queen, please help my father and brother."

"Who are you?"

The queen had recovered from the initial shock, waved her hand, and motioned the round bodyguards to retreat. The hurried uninvited guest rushed to her like a gust of wind. She did not feel any danger from the child.

"My wife, I'm Lou Yunshang, the fifth daughter of Prime Minister Lou Duo." Yunshang straightened up to look at her. A pair of beautiful eyes are full of pleading.

The queen nodded, "I have heard of you. You are the filial daughter who sent her spirit back to Beijing for thousands of miles."

Yunshang was stunned. She didn't know that she was so famous.

"You just said you wanted me to save my life. What's the matter?"

Yunshang kowtowed and said, "Queen, you are devoted to practicing Buddhism. You don't know the movement of the previous court. My father is old and wants to return to his hometown. Before leaving, the emperor was worried about the Lou family and wanted to take the third son of the Lou family hostage in Beijing. My father did not want to embarrass your majesty, so he decided to go to go to the Yin'an Hall today. Behead the son to put an end to the future troubles to show loyalty.

After she finished saying this, the old woman next to the queen who had just scolded her couldn't help taking a breath, and the queen dragged a long ending "oh".

"Then are you afraid of death when you come to me?" The queen's eyes were really accurate. Yunshang swallowed her saliva. She just ran a little anxiously. At this time, she felt as uncomfortable as burning in her lungs.

"The Empress Mingjian, Yunshang is not afraid of death, but is chilling for her father. She is the elders of my father's three dynasties. She is a loyal minister who is loyal to the country. She is poor all her life, with two sleeves of breezes, and Haoran righteousness. In the age of ancient times, she still has to endure pain and behead her son. Yun Shang just thinks that if her father really does this, Wen Aren't all the military officials cold-hearted? Which courtier will be loyal to defend the country in the future? Do your best to defend the court?"

The words were reasonable. The queen couldn't help nodding, reaching out and touching Yunshang's head, "Good boy, you are so sensible!"

Yunshang was overjoyed and immediately kowtowed, "Thank you, Empress."

"Hm?" The queen couldn't grasp the meaning of Yunshang for a while.

Yunshang looked up and said, "Empress, you are the mother of a country. Even if you accept Yunshang's request, Yunshang, thank you for your kindness. Yunshang dared to ask the Empress to move to Yin'an Hall. Your life is all for my father and brother.

"Ha ha." The queen smiled rarely and took off a string of Buddha beads on her neck. "Well, in the case, I will go to the Yin'an Hall with you."

Behind her, the Mother sang, "The Queen moved to the Yin'an Hall!" Then all the eunuch court ladies knelt to the ground, and even the guards couldn't help raising their thumbs up secretly. Unexpectedly, this little girl really had some ability.

Since she was accompanied by the empress along the way, she naturally couldn't climb the rockery. Yunshang was anxious and felt that this road was extremely long. She wish she could fly over with her wings.

***

"Yunliang, since you are the parent of my building, you should know that if you want to die, I have to die." When Lou Duo said this, his eyes were full of blood, which looked very scary.

Yunliang was also calm and worshipped the emperor. "Are you the sky? The father is the master. You have hidden worries. The father's heart is difficult to calm down. I am a minister. I should be the king and my father. I share my worries."

He turned around, knelt down deeply to Lou Duo, and kowtowed. "Yunliang, thank you for your father's upbringing for 18 years. Yunliang is unfilial. Go first. Father, please take care of him."

A silver needle can be heard when a silver needle falls quietly from the hall. Yun Zheng and Yun Yu Yun Ni heard it really outside the hall. Yun Ni exclaimed. Yun Zheng couldn't stop him for thousands of times. He watched Yun Liang stand up from the ground and hit the jade step in three steps and two steps.

"Bum!" With a muffled sound, the blood splashed five steps, and the blood gradually stained the corner of the dragon chair. The emperor was shocked, flashed back, and shouted in a low voice.

Lou Duo staggered for two steps, and there were already bodyguards to support him. Wen Wu of the Man Dynasty couldn't bear to look directly at this miserable scene and covered his face one after another. Some ministers standing in the front row were scared to earth because they saw clearly.

Lou Duo forcibly stabilized his mind, stood with the hand of the bodyguard, and shouted, "Yun Zheng!"

Yun Zheng was completely dumbfounded. Seeing that his brother died here in an instant, his eyes were full of panic. He looked at his father and opened his mouth for a long time, but he couldn't say a word, only made a simple syllable. Seeing him like this, Lou Duo knew that his most timid son was probably scared. He endured grief and tears in his eyes. He pulled out the guard's sword and said, "Yun Zheng, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety can't be both. Today, father will fulfill you and yourself." With that, he raised his sword and cut at Yunyu's neck.

At this critical moment, a crisp voice came from outside the hall.

"Retain people under the sword!"

Then a petite figure broke in from outside the hall and pushed Lou Duo away. The sword in Lou Duo's hand could not be held, and Lang Lang fell to the ground.

"You!" Lou Duo saw the person coming clearly and was stunned.

Yunshang's bun was also messy and his breath was unstable at this time, but he still pulled Yun Zheng and protected him behind him. "Father, are you going to cut off your second brother?"

Yun Yu took the sword on the ground far away and quickly walked over to check Yunliang. There was no breath on his fingers. Yun Yu's eyes turned red. He looked up and shook his head at Yunshang. This touch was too decisive, and his brain burst, and there was no possibility of narration.

Yunshang felt a pain in her heart. Although her relationship with Yunliang was not as good as Yun Yu's, after all, it was her own brother with her compatriot. In front of her was the scene when she moved out of Qingfu Garden a few days ago.

"Rou Yunshang, if you are still a descendant of my Lou family, you should know that if you want to die, I have to die."

She was angry and ignored it. She didn't expect what the occasion was now. She opened her mouth and sneered first, "I've only heard that you are not a minister to a foreign country, and the father's unrighteous son goes to a foreign country!"

Lou Duo's white beard trembled with anger, and he pointed to Yunshang with his hand, "You rebellious and unfilial son!" After saying that, he raised his foot and was about to kick it. But he was stopped by Eunuch Wei, "The building can't be seen. What's hanging around the little princess's neck?"

On Yunshang's neck, black and golden, it is the string of big Buddha beads worn by the queen when she worships Buddha and burns incense every day.

Yunshang no longer spoke, but turned around and knelt down at the door of the hall. At the same time, a song came from outside the hall, "The Queen is here!"

The civil and military officials also knelt down. Yunshang took two steps on his knees, and tears came out of his eyes. A living life was so easily lost because of Lou Duo's decision. How can she not feel sad about this?

When the queen came in, she smelled a blood gas. Looking under the jade steps, the blood became a river, and the corpse was still there. He couldn't help shouting the Buddha's name, looked at the emperor on the dragon chair, and shook his head, "What a sin."

The emperor has great regret at this time. He has always respected the queen very much. At this time, she came out and just gave herself a step down. The queen looked at him, "Your Majesty, the Lou family is loyal, three generations of officials, and Lou Duo is also the elders of the three dynasties. I'm afraid it will be chilling."

The emperor nodded and said, "The lonely king's unintentional words made him tired. Fortunately, the queen arrived in time. Otherwise, the lonely king would really regret it for the rest of his life."

The queen smiled and put her hands together, "It's really a blessing for the people that the emperor can be compassionate."

Yun Shang was disgusted. The emperor was really a good hand. He sat there for a moment before, and then he made such a face. Don't start and don't look at the man on the throne.

The queen came to her and pulled her up, "Yunshang, at a young age, you can think of this level of interests and an affectionate temperament. In the future, will you stay in the court to serve the country?"

The civil and military officials looked at each other in consters, and I don't know what the mystery is in the middle.

However, Yunshang, who stood in front of the queen, kept bowing his head and saying a word.
