Chapter 206, Break
On the third day, His Royal Highness King Liang came to worship. The father and son of the Chu family had been waiting for him for a long time. Hearing that the king of Liang had arrived, Chu Shaofu ordered Chu Huaixian: "Go and welcome him." Chu Huaixian was ordered to come out. On the road closest to the shadow wall, King Liang had already stepped in by himself. He smiled: "Huaixian, there is a poem that says well. When the title is on the golden list, the bridal chamber..." At this point, King Liang suddenly remembered Mrs. Chu, swallowed his words back, and turned to Chu Huaixian and said, "How are you?"
"I'm fine," Chu Huaixian took over. King Liang and he went inside and saw the new soil next to the pavilions on both sides, so he said, "What's new?" Chu Huaixian pointed to King Liang: "My father likes Song and Bai."
Through this deep green bush, it is not far from Chu Shaofu's study. Lord Fu stood in the porch and saw the king of Liang coming. He greeted him with a smile, "Your Highness, you have to be free today. How dare you be free for half a day?" King Liang also smiled and said, "Your Excellency, you know that I came here for something. I have been idle for half a day, and the prince and grandson have no chance."
King Liang also came back for the palace trial. He was worried: "Speaking that several scholars jointly asked for orders, and the soldiers and horses tried again and again, and there was no assassin. Who said the assassin at the beginning?
"Although the assassin didn't have it, he found out a lot of things." Chu Shaofu stroked his forehead anxiously and looked at King Liang like a torch. King Liang was smart and immediately asked, "I'm here for my slaves. They should be proud of their court. This time, it will be pushed to next year, and maybe it won't work next year. Although I don't want to be an official immediately, I'm sorry for them. Think about them, and then think about the candidates in the world. Ten years of hardship, this year is a delay.
Chu Shaofu said slowly: "The examiner took bribes, the candidates bribed, and pulled out another thing a few years ago." King Liang also heard that he was okay with the members of the court. He thought about it for a while and said sympathetically, "Lord Du and General Lu of the Military Department are both close friends with Zhang Cheng. The emperor has seen it and Du Da He was lighter and fined for a year. General Lu was sent to prison. Prime Minister Zhang went to the palace yesterday and was also reprimanded.
"Yes, once the old things are pulled out, the old things will be unbearable." Chu Shaofu said this and wince at his son. Chu Huaixian withdrew and sat down on the railing outside the curtain. Thinking about Prime Minister Zhang's face at this time, Mr. Chu's heart was not comfortable.
King Liang noticed that Chu Huaixian went out and immediately understood that Chu Shaofu had something to say. Seeing Chu Shaofu, he just said, "Your Highness, please reward me with this good pot and taste this tea again. The same tea is brewed in this pot, and the taste is different. Liang Wang smiled and saw that the tea was full of amber. He took a sip and boasted, "Okay."
"Your Highness, enjoy my tea again. This piece is the most delicate. What I love to use is these mountain objects." Chu Shaofu pushed a small white agate plate again, and King Liang put one piece into his mouth. After eating three or four kinds of tea, Lord Fu didn't say anything more. King Liang smiled and urged, "What other cases are there in the past year? Tell me about them."
Chu Shaofu raised his eyebrows, and King Liang was even more puzzled: "The old cases in my house, but only a few cases of family crimes, don't talk about the old cases that have been found, which are related to me."
"This, alas..." Chu Shaofu frowned: "Your Highness, if you don't say this, I'm sorry, Your Highness; if you say it...
Alas," Chu Shaofu said sadly, "I'm afraid of hurting Your Highness's heart."
King Liang knew that Chu Shaofu was a steady official and old, and he was not a person who made fun of him. His heart became heavy and he forced a smile, "What the hell is it? You have to let me hear it."
"Your Highness, alas..." Chu Shaofu was worried, and his eyebrows drooped upside down: "The old princess..." At this point, Chu Shaofu swallowed his words again. King Liang was anxious and stood up. Without urging, King Liang took a few steps back and forth in the room and suddenly said, "Your Excellency, you have something to say directly!"
Chu Shaofu saw that the king of Liang was in a hurry. When the imperial concubine passed away, the king of Liang suspected that he had asked the emperor to investigate thoroughly. Causing King Liang's suspicion, Chu Shaofu frowned and persuaded him in turn: "Your Highness, please sit down. If you want to talk about this, you have to have a witness."
He coughed outside the room, and Chu Huaixian answered outside the room, "Yes." He strode into the steps and took the horse out in person.
For the next period of time, King Liang was like sitting on pins and needles. He looked out from time to time, but his mood stabilized.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard. Liang Wang looked out gloomyly and saw a short-headed man in black behind him. Liang Wang narrowed his eyes. He didn't know this person. Is this the witness that Chu Shaofu said? Think about it again, I still don't know him.
Chu Huaixian stood outside the door with Gong Miaoer. He didn't need to send a message. He replied inside and said, "Father, Gong Zizhen brought it." King Liang shook his head again, and the name was even more unfamiliar.
Ten years ago, His Royal Highness King Liang was less than 20 years old. He doesn't know much about these families competing for flowers and plants in the court.
"Let him in." With Chu Shaofu's call, Chu Huaixian nodded to Gong Miaoer and whispered, "Go in and tell the truth." Gong Miaoer's lips moved and suddenly burst into tears. The door in front of you can be entered in one step. But if you take this step in, you may be able to clear your grievances today.
For ten years, Gong Miaoer always fantasized about this moment. When it really came, he shrank his feet and licked his lips. Then he squeezed his lips tightly, showing a resolute look on his face, and took a big step in like this.
Chu Huaixian still didn't go in. He had heard what Gong Miaoer would say once. At this time, outside, he lost his mind to the shadow of the moving sun in the yard. Xiaoyi came, and Xiaochu was much better. She is already mentally ill, and she can be fine if she can open it. That's what Dr. Zou said, and so did Chu Huaixian.
Let Xiaochu open his heart knot and mention the matter that made Mr. Chu gritt his teeth; Chu Huaixian was a little reluctant to mention it, so he suddenly turned his mind to Xiaochu's body. Then give her some nourishing herbs to raise her thin and weak body first. The patient has a knot in his heart and can't eat. If there are no life-saving herbs, of course, he will not get better.
A bang came out of the room. Chu Huaixian woke up from his distracting and did not look into the room.
In the room, Liang Wang punched on the black inlaid snails around him, which did not scare Gong Miaoer. Gong Miaoer came with the determination to redress her grievances. Instead, she continued to say word by word to the king of Liang, who was so angry, "... That year, the leader was originally my home. After changing my family, the imperial concubine and the two princes came one by one within a year..."
"Shut up!" King Liang's eyes were like vultures: "How do you know what is in this flower and grass? How do you know that the death of the imperial concubine and the two princes is related to them?" Gong Miaoer, who was heartfelt before coming in, shouted, "Your Highness, have you ever looked for such a place? Has Your Highness ever suspected them? Your Highness..."
Gong Miaoer roared like an angry lion, and Chu Shaofu did not move like Mount Tai. King Liang grabbed a tea bowl and smashed it at the loud Gong Miaoer. The tea bowl flew down Gong Miaoer's ear, and Gong Miaoer shut up. Liang Wang, whose eyes were already bloody, only felt black in front of him and staggered to the seat.
"Your Highness," a shout came from the room, and Chu Huaixian quickly came in. Seeing that King Liang pulled the armrest of the seat, he gasped and said, "I swear not to stand with him!"
His Royal Highness King Liang, who investigated and doubted in the palace, had already believed most of it at this time. Chu Shaofu poured a bowl of water with his own hands, and Chu Huaixian took a few sips of water for Liang Wang. King Liang's eyes were dizzy. What he saw in this darkness was all the imperial concubine in the palace.
At that time, Empress Zhang was not the queen, and the empress dowager had died. The imperial concubine was in the sixth palace. The emperor spoiled Empress Zhang, and the imperial concubine was not optimistic. If the imperial concubine is still there, the position of this middle palace may not be Queen Zhang's; if the two princes were smart in those years, if they had survived until now, the prince under Empress Zhang would not be the most favored one now.
In this dark, Chu Shaofu's words appeared like a bright light. He whispered to the king of Liang, "Your Highness, no matter what happened before, the queen is virtuous, and the six palaces know it." Empress Zhang is indeed a truly virtuous person.
"I fought with her, I don't care who she is!" King Liang twisted the armrest of the seat and drilled the sentence in his mind: "Your Highness, have doubted it..." In those years, His Royal Highness Liang did not doubt it, but did not find evidence.
There was a burst of crying on the ground. Gong Miaoer saw that the words had worked. She was afraid that King Liang was angry and attacked him. Gong Miaoer, who needed King Liang to make his own snow, cried loudly: "Keep the green mountains alive. Don't be afraid that there is no firewood. Your Highness, you are not like me. You can die at any time and don't live at any time."
"Your life is mine." King Liang said gloomyly, and Gong Miaoer gritted her teeth and swore, "As long as you can give justice to your parents, how can you cherish your life?" King Liang stared at him for a long time and then asked, "How many insiders were there in those years?" Chu Shaofu replied: "Your Highness, ask Lord Xi, you should get something."
"I remember it." King Liang did not take a silk handkerchief and wiped away tears from his face with his sleeves. He became solemn. He gave a cold look at Chu Shaofu and his son and said coldly, "If this matter is exposed, Lord Shaofu, I will no longer recognize people in my eyes!"
Chu Shaofu seems to be more cautious than the King of Liang: "This is also what I want to say to Your Highness. Don't act rashly. Your Highness, please remember that Zhonggong is a virtuous person.
"I remember!" King Liang said his words heartbreakingly, and his eyes groped fiercely on the faces of all the people in the room. If there is someone he hates in this room, His Royal Highness King Liang's eyes can kill people!
The look slowed down a little, and Liang Wang became solemn. He stood up quietly and gently kicked Gong Miaoer: "Come with me."
Chu Shaofu and his son sent King Liang out and saw him leave with Gong Miaoer, a living witness. The father held his son's arm, and the son walked in slowly.
