half life slave

Chapter 133

After a night of wind and rain, for the next few days, Rong and Du hid in the South Study Room to sort out the historical manuscripts that had been erroneous in the past, and handed over the supervision of the Rites and Supervisors to Bingbi.When they met Shen Hui, they also had a tacit understanding not to talk about political affairs or any news about the prince.

Just after that day, Rong Yu sorted out the manuscripts and prepared to bind them into a volume and send them to the factory for printing.Suddenly a servant came in to report that Zhao Xun, the imperial censor Zhao Xun who had just retired, and his protégé, Zhang Shigeng, the new Youqian capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, asked to see him outside the study.

Those who come are bound to be unkind, so please put down the manuscript and go out.At a glance, I saw Zhao Xun who was still trembling with Zhang Shigeng's support, but I hadn't seen him for a few days. Zhao Xun seemed to be more than ten years old. A hideous scar.

To show his respect, Rong Yu still bowed to him, and when he stood up straight, he felt two sharp eyes like swords falling on his face, forcing him to hang his head.

Zhao Xun stretched out his hand tremblingly, pointing to Rong Yu's back, "May I ask Lin Zhangyin, why are you hiding in the emperor's study instead of serving the emperor every day?"

Unexpectedly, the opening remark would be this sentence, Rong Yu was at a loss for words for a while, and then answered after suffocating, "Lin...is sorting out the books for the Long Live God..."

"You're full of lies! You hide in the royal study all day long editing history books, thinking you can hide it from everyone?" Zhao Xun interrupted him, his face turned pale, "A villain like you who only knows about profit, In order to seek the favor of the emperor, not to violate the ancestral system, he dispatched eunuchs to extort money everywhere, and used the public tools of the world to fight for power and profit for you personally... How can a person like you write history in a straight and fair manner? Could it be that you still Do you want to use history revision to overturn the case for you and others, and cover up your act of usurping power and stealing the country?"

When he came up, he asked aggressively, and Rong Yuxin suddenly felt bored. He didn't want to explain more, but he just wanted to open his mouth to prevaricate, but he felt a sudden sharp pain in his knee. flickered.

Seeing this, Zhao Xun leaned forward and asked in a loud voice, "You have read the sage's books in vain, and you are doing despicable things. Let me ask you, if you still have the slightest sense of etiquette and shame, answer me honestly. How long do you want to destroy the imperial court and separate the emperor and the prince?"

This crime is too great, he really doesn't want to bear the upper body, "Master Zhao..." Enduring the pain, Rong Yu spoke with difficulty.

Before the sentence was finished, Zhao Xun waved his sleeves decisively, "I dare not, I have already retired, so I can't be called like that."

Rong Yu looked at him and wanted to smile bitterly, swallowed the difficulty in his throat, and said again, "Mr. Zhao, if you say that Mr. Lin accused Lin of meddling in politics, then I might still be able to plead guilty to this charge, but Lin has never done anything to separate the emperor and his son." Yes, you can rest assured, sir, from now on, Lin will no longer be involved in political affairs, but only take care of the inner court affairs with peace of mind, and be a veritable inner court palm seal."

Looking at the scar on his head, Rong Yu bowed to him and bowed again, but a sneer sounded immediately above his head, "Smart words! If you have self-knowledge and repentance, you should immediately plead guilty to the emperor and resign as the supervisor of rites." For your post, I request that you be relegated to the outside world, and stay away from the capital. Do you still think that the emperor can risk the world's displeasure for you, regardless of the world's long-winded mouths?"

"In this way, your life may be spared." After the sharp sound, he added frankly.

Rong Yu got up slowly and stood with hands down, but his thoughts were already far away.If you stand in the same place, in the silence, the surroundings seem to be silent, but your mind becomes more and more clear, so you can let yourself go to daydream - how can he open up another place to live in this world .

Seeing that he was silent for a while, Zhao Xun thought that he would not agree with his suggestion, so he immediately shouted angrily, "Zhuzi, your crime of harming the country will not be punished even for generations to come!"

After saying that, he broke free from Shen Shigeng, and was about to turn around, but unexpectedly, he couldn't stand still and rushed forward.Rong Yu immediately came back to his senses, and subconsciously stepped forward to support him.He let out a flustered gasp, waited for his breath to calm down, then glared at Rong Yu again, and shook his arm vigorously for a long time, this time, he really walked away.

When he was about to leave, he did not forget to cast two tearful stares, like two slaps in the face.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin is old and straightforward, and his words offend him. I hope Mr. Lin will be tolerant." Zhang Shigeng did not follow, but bowed to him, hoping that Rong Yu would not take revenge on Zhao Xunxian.

Rong Yu shook his head with a faint smile, "Don't dare, Mr. Zhao's good words, Lin will be educated. Please tell Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin will consider Mr.'s advice, and please let him live in peace of mind."

"Mr. Lin is indeed a smart person. This is a wise move. It is also the best way to fulfill the righteousness between you and the Lord Long Live." Zhang Shigeng may not believe his words, and he persuaded him in a gentle way, "Jiuwen Lin Public knowledge of the past and the present, reading the history books, should know that the emperor's merits are in the present, and the name is in the future. Throughout the ages, there is no emperor who does not want to leave the reputation of a generation of holy masters and respect them for future generations. Minister, it is a truth to leave a name in history. However, from ancient times to the present, history books are written by civil servants and scholars, but no emperor has offended the gentry all over the world and can still enjoy the title of Mingjun. Lin Gong was deeply respected by the king all his life. Well, naturally I don't want the emperor to distort for future generations because of my own fault, and get the infamy that I don't deserve."

After listening silently, Rong Yu nodded and said, "I understand what your lord means, and Lin will think it over."

Zhang Shigeng smiled slightly, bowed his hands and turned around to help Zhao Xun.

When they were all gone, there was only Rong Yu left in the courtyard.The soreness on his legs made him feel for the first time that this monotonous pain was so unbearable.

Maybe it's because the heart doesn't hurt enough, it's just layers of numbness and emptiness.

On the desk was the manuscript he had just sorted out, and its fate had undergone an earth-shaking change with just a cup of tea.Rubbing these handwritings that he wrote, he silently apologized to them in his heart.

I knew a long time ago that it is impossible for me to be among the literati in this life, and I don’t have the desire to be an extreme minister. I only hope that I can make a little effort for the things I really like in my heart, so that if I can achieve my inner hopes, it is considered Get what you want.

But looking at it now, it doesn't make much sense. What he could have done originally was just an eunuch. If he didn't do too badly, maybe he could be recorded by the historian and appear in a certain volume of Yinshi that records eunuchs. , behind the name, a few words, the life has been outlined.

But even that kind of ending is unavoidable for him.But what does it matter, to live is to fight hard, you can't let sadness drag you into the quagmire!After picking up those useless manuscripts, he got up and walked slowly back to the Qianqing Gate.

Gossiping with Shen Hui for a while at night, seeing that he was still not in good spirits, Rong Yu served him to lie down, watched him close his eyes and fell asleep, and then quietly left the bedroom.

Back in his room, he was free from sleepiness, sorted out his thoughts, and thought about how to ask Shen Hui for orders, so that he could hit a hit. Before that, there were still people and things that had not been explained, especially Lin Sheng, he promised to protect Lin Sheng comprehensively, so the most urgent task is to find a safe place for him.

Unfold two blank letterheads and a memorial, calm down for a moment, and start to write those words related to your future destiny.

Half a month later, Shen Hui's attention was drawn to the booklet from Prince Wu's Mansion, and he asked Rong Yu suspiciously, "Why did Brother Xian suddenly want to transfer Ah Sheng to the Palace? He knows that A Sheng is someone close to you, and you can never leave him." open him."

Rong Yu was making tea for him to digest his food, and he replied casually, "Why can't we do without it. Ah Sheng is not young, it's rare that His Highness takes a liking to him, it's a good thing to go out and practice for a while."

"Did you say something to brother Xian?" Shen Hui sharply cut to the point, "Could it be that you are afraid that Ah Sheng will be hurt in the future because of you?"

Rong Yu said with a smile, "It's just that he was transferred for a period of time, and it's not that he won't come back. I think he's become more noisy recently, so I sent him out to live a quieter life. And he followed me, always looking spoiled , I don’t hide my words, and I don’t know if I offend anyone. Go out and stay for a few years, and I’m afraid it will be better if you gain more experience.”

Shen Hui asked again, but Rong Yu only insisted that it was for Lin Sheng's good. If he really missed him in a few days, he would naturally ask King Wu to let him come back.Seeing what he said, Shen Hui didn't ask any more questions, and reluctantly agreed.

A stone fell to the ground in his heart, and Rong Yu let out a long sigh of relief.However, Lin Sheng came to him with the will in his hands, "What's going on? I was transferred to Prince Ning's Mansion all of a sudden? Did your lord know about this in advance?"

"This is what His Highness meant, how did I know it. Speaking of which, I don't even know when you fell in His Highness's eye." Rong and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips to answer him.

Lin Sheng sat down sullenly, bit his lip for a long time, and then struggled to say, "I don't want to go. I don't want to leave you."

There was a burst of sadness in my heart, with a smile still on my face, Rong Yu said, "You think you don't have to come back after you go? Ah Sheng, haven't you always liked Jiangnan? Go live for a while, and come back and tell me about it. It’s not convenient for me to go out now, but I really miss those comfortable days. Just take a look for me.”

"But... I am your man, and I promised to be with you forever." Lin Sheng frowned, looking unwilling and reluctant, which made people feel sad for a while.

"It's a lifetime, and I don't want to earn this moment." Rong Yu comforted him, lowered his head and sighed softly, "Besides, there is no banquet in the world that never ends."

This sentence, but I couldn't say it out, I just kept it in my heart and said it to myself.

Lin Sheng had no choice but to be upset, and Rong Yushao had to pack his luggage for him himself.I exchanged the previous years' salary into banknotes and gave him part of it. At first he refused in every possible way, but He Rongyu suggested that he still needed to settle Fan Yi. After thinking about it, he took the banknotes and was so grateful that he didn't know what to say. what's good.

"My lord, give me some words you write every day. I'll take care of them later when I'm free. When you see me again, I'm sure you'll boast that I've made a lot of progress."

Rong Yu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of those manuscripts, maybe he could find a good place for them, so he gave them all, and told him with a smile, "I edited this for fun, just to pass the time. Don't show it to others. "

Lin Sheng flipped through one, nodded hesitantly, with a thoughtful expression on his face, but in the end he didn't ask any more questions that Rong Yu didn't want to answer.

After packing up his things, Lin Sheng said a lot of things to let Rong and Duo cherish his body, and told him to burn charcoal fire and put on more clothes when the sky was cloudy, so that he must not suffer from the wind and cold again. down.

The weather was fine when we set off, and Rong Yu sent him to Donghua Gate, where the carriage was ready to take him to Tongzhou Wharf.

At the moment of parting, I knew what it means to be reluctant, my heart was astringent, but my face was calm, and I didn't dare to show it.

Doing the math, this is the first time he sees off his old friends. In the past, he watched others drift away, leaving him alone in this lonely city.Soon, even he will be leaving here.

However, the world is full of mortals, but Zhan Yi smiles for spring warmth.The so-called life is like a journey, who is not a pedestrian?
