Chapter 106 Wind and Cloud
"What? These immortals..." Jiang Shize roared halfway and suddenly sneered, "Do they want to die? OK, I will complete them. Lou Ming, please tell me to go down and send the imperial army to strictly 'defend' several adults. Without my permission, no one is allowed to approach them, otherwise it will be killed!"
Lou Ming was stunned for a moment, and then understood what he meant. "Your Majesty, it's so hot. If several adults have been kneeling there, I'm afraid they can't stand it..."
"What? Do you want to disobey my orders?" Jiang Shize looked over coldly.
Lou Ming couldn't help shivering and hurriedly lowered his head, "I dare not, I'm going to convey the emperor's will..."
"Sir, take a break!" Mrs. Yi saw that Yi Zhengshan's hand holding the pen had been shaking and could hardly write. She was distressed and held his hand, "Don't write anymore. You have been writing all night..."
Yi Zhengshan shook his head, "Madam, you don't have to worry about me. I won't stop until the emperor doesn't agree. A teacher is famous and has a master. Even if he is guilty, he must ask a reason. As the king of a country, the emperor will kill hundreds of people without interrogation. As the prime minister of a dynasty, how can I sit back and ignore it?
"But haven't the master's memorials been blocked by the emperor? What's the use of writing more?" Mrs. Yi let go helplessly.
"Even if the emperor doesn't read the memorial, I will convey my determination to him and let him know that he has done something wrong!" Yi Zhengshan gasped for a while and began to write hard again.
With him all night, Mrs. Yi was also a little unsatiable. She got up and went out and asked Xiaomei to order the kitchen to cook some tonic soup and walk in the yard to refresh herself.
A family man came over in a hurry, "Madam..."
"How's it going?" Mrs. Yi's eyes lit up.
"Madam's letter has been sent to your house!"
"What did those adults say?"
The family hesitated for a moment, "Six adults sent out all the messengers without saying anything."
"Real?" Mrs. Yi's eyes dimmed, and her face was full of worry. "Thank you for your hard work. Go and have a rest." What did you think of again? "By the way, you go to the stable and help me call Han Jiang."
"Yes, madam!" The family agreed to leave in a hurry again.
Not long after, a man dressed as a groom paced and came over without hurry, "Madam is so elegant today that she actually thinks of me, a smelly groom..."
He is about the same age as Yi Zhengshan. His facial features are correct, but unfortunately, an obvious scar extends from his right ear to his chin, making his face look a little twisted and ferocious.
"I'm not in the mood to joke with you now." Mrs. Yi straightened her face, "Han Jiang, I have something to ask you!"
"Why don't you ask for it between you and me?" Yi Jiang put away his improper smile and said, "Say, what's the matter?"
Mrs. Yi hesitated for a moment, "I want you to help me find someone!"
"Is it so simple to find someone?" Yi Jiang showed disdain, "You called me in a hurry. I thought it was a big deal..."
"If it's so easy to find someone, I won't bother you." Mrs. Yi took a look at the study and said, "If you don't find him, I'm afraid you won't be able to live..."
Han Jiang's eyes shook, "What's good about that wooden man? Why do you worry about him when you're old?" The tone is full of jealousy.
"He is my husband. I don't care who he is going to worry about?" Mrs. Yi stared at him with dissatisfaction.
"Isn't what you said too sad? How can you have such a begging attitude?
Mrs. Yi raised her eyebrows and said, "Why are you still swaying in front of me if you are so dissatisfied with me? Wouldn't it be better to move out quickly, buy a house, and marry a wife to live a good life?
"Hey, don't you always mention this, okay?" Han Jiang's momentum was obviously low, "Say, who are you looking for?"
"Jiang Yu!"
Han Jiang's expression suddenly changed when he heard the name, "That's not..."
"Prince of the former dynasty!" Mrs. Yi knew what he was surprised about. "He is still alive and may be hiding in this Qingshan City. I'm afraid the reason why the emperor made such a big noise is to attract him out. Seeing Han Jiang murmured, "What, are you afraid?"
"What's so scary about me, a bad old man?" Han Jiang flattened his eyes and said, "You are too good at solving problems for me, aren't you?" Can you ask me to help you find someone who can't even be found by the emperor?
Mrs. Yi smiled and said, "If you don't have that ability, how can I come to you?" Don't tell me that you are useless!"
"Don't expect too much from me!" Han Jiang got up and walked out, "I've been a groom for a long time, and I'm not familiar with some roads. Whether I can find out or not depends on the creation..."
Mrs. Yi saw him go out and smiled, "For so many years, her temper has not changed at all!" Turning out of the pavilion, as soon as he walked a few steps, he saw Yi Zhengshan rushing out of the study, followed by a keeper. He was surprised and took a few steps to stop him. "Sir, what are you doing in a hurry?"
"Lord Cheng, they knelt outside the Chaoyang Gate and were ready to kill the emperor. I'm going to go with them..."
Mrs. Yi was overjoyed to hear this. It turned out that those adults did not have no response. They have taken action. It seems that these old ministers are still very loyal.
"Sir, don't be impulsive!" She hurriedly persuaded Yi Zhengshan, "If you go with them, it will only make the emperor more dissatisfied with you. Wouldn't that make the efforts of the adults in vain?"
Yi Zhengshan was stunned for a moment and then understood. Indeed, when he goes now, he can only make the emperor think that he incites the old minister in the court. Instead of persuading the invincible emperor, it will make the emperor resent him, and all his previous efforts will be in vain!
"Thank you for your suggestion. I'll continue to write the memorial!" He turned around and ran back to the study.
Mrs. Yi nodded and stopped the man in charge of handing the memorial, "Take a few more people to inquire about the news of the court and return it at any time!"
"Yes, madam!" The family promised to run to the study, took Yi Zhengshan's memorial, and hurriedly sent him to the palace.
The messengers traveled to and from Yifu and the palace gate, but they did not bring back much valuable news. Several old ministers had been kneeling outside the Chaoyang Gate, and the emperor sent troops to surround them heavily and did not allow anyone to approach. It's called protection, but it's actually punishment. Several old ministers are the youngest and the same as Yi Zhengshan, and the oldest is also in their 60s. They knelt under the hot sun, did not drink a sip of water, and their strength gradually weakened. Even an old minister has fainted, but the emperor still refused to let go and was quite stubborn.
This made Mrs. Yi anxious. Although the emperor is still a wise king in general, he is afraid that no one can compare with him. From his young age, he forced the former emperor to abdicate and killed all the veins of the previous emperor. If he becomes more serious, he will not agree. Not to mention Yi Zhengshan, won't he harm those old adults? Then she became the murderer who killed them indirectly...
Although Yi Zhengshan did not kneel under the scorching sun, he has been writing memorials since yesterday afternoon. Sooner or later, he will be exhausted!
When she was sitting in trouble, she suddenly heard a family report, "Madam, someone is coming from the palace..."
"Real?" Mrs. Yi didn't know whether to be happy or worried. At this time, the emperor was either relieved or angry.
When he came to the front hall with Yi Zhengshan, he saw Lou Ming sitting there drinking tea with a leisurely face, but did not see the shadow of the imperial edict.
"Eunuch Lou, why are you here?" Yi Zhengshan was a little surprised.
"Ha ha, Yi Xiang, this time you are making a big deal, and the emperor is about to explode!" Lou Ming looked at him with a smile, and continued to drink tea without any follow-up.
Yi Zhengshan was a little anxious, "Duke Lou, what's going on in the court? How many adults? The emperor must have sent you here, right?
"The five old adults fainted, and the civil and military officials knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. You kept breaking up, making the emperor upset and unable to govern. What do you think the emperor can do?" Lou Ming looked at him with a smile and said slowly, "The emperor has issued an order to let several old adults go to the palace to rest, and also announced the imperial doctor to treat them. As for Yi Xiang, the emperor sent the old slaves to take you to the palace.
This should be a release. Yi Zhengshan and Mrs. Yi looked at each other and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Don't be happy too early. The emperor is a person who has revenge. Yi Xiang made such a big deal this time, which almost made the emperor lose face. Do you think he will give up? You have to be mentally prepared!" Lou Ming poured a bucket of cold water on his head.
Yi Zhengshan nodded solemnly, "I know, I've been ready for a long time!"
"Sir..." Mrs. Yi looked at him worriedly.
Yi Zhengshan glanced at her and signaled her not to worry. Then he turned to Lou Ming and said, "Mr. Lou, I have a few words to tell the dog. Could you please wait for a moment?"
"It doesn't matter. Yi Xiang just go. Anyway, it's already like this, and it's okay to be a minute late. It's rare for the old slave to come out, so he asked your house for a few more cups of tea to drink..."
"Thank you!" Yi Zhengshan told Mrs. Yi to treat Lou Ming well and got up to Yi Yun's room.
He didn't move for almost ten hours. Yi Yun's body was numb and his mind was dizzy. He was hot and cold for a while. His thin face became more and haggard, as if he had been ten years old overnight.
Seeing his appearance, Yi Zhengshan sighed secretly before walking forward, "Yun'er..."
"Dad..." Yi Yun opened his eyes when he heard the sound and shouted hoarsely.
"Yun'er, I'm going to see the emperor later. No matter what, I will persuade the emperor to change his mind and let innocent people save their lives..."
Yi Yun's godless eyes lit up when he heard this, "Dad..."
"Don't be happy too early!" Yi Zhengshan glanced at him and said, "You have to promise me a few conditions!"
"As long as Dad can save her, I will agree to any conditions!" Yi Yun hurriedly responded.
Yi Zhengshan's eyes sank, "Then if I ask you to cut off contact with her forever, will you agree?"
