Jiayu Village of Red Mansions

Chapter 27

You, the royal family is sorry for you, don't worry, I will raise your little daughter well, you, do you have anything else to say? "

Yucun listened to the Holy Spirit's heartfelt words, took another look at the dagger, bent down and kowtowed to the Holy Spirit again, and stood up from the ground by himself.

Seeing Yucun stand up from the ground with a dagger in his hand, Li Dequan couldn't help but step forward to block the Holy Master.

The Holy One waved his hand and pushed Li Dequan away, saying, "It's okay."

Yucun slowly tested the blade with his hands, and said to the Holy Master: "I can't say that I am upright in my life, but I want to be ashamed of my heart, but today, if I commit suicide before this court case, I will die like this. Not reconciled! I have never had blood on my hands in my life, but the first time I got blood, it was the blood of suicide. How willing I am! How willing!

For the sake of the country and the people, a man would die on the battlefield without hesitation, but this minister didn't even have a drop of enemy blood on his hands, how could I be so willing!The king asked the minister to die and the minister had to die, but today, the minister dared to refute that the minister did not want to die!The minister asked himself if he did anything wrong, if he really did something wrong, it was just this face raised by his father and mother! "

As Yucun said, he raised the dagger in his hand to his eyes, and the face that brought disaster to the country and the people was reflected in it, and his pupils shrank sharply. Yucun turned the blade to himself, raised his hand and slashed the blade upwards, a long and thin bloodstain ran from the lower jaw of Yucun's right cheek Passing through obliquely and flying into the temples, bright red blood drops slipped from the vertical dagger blade, dripping slowly on the marble floor in front of the imperial study hall, and also dripping on the hearts of the people in the hall.

"Sir, use your own blood to sharpen this dagger, and use the blood of thousands of enemies to pay homage to it. I am willing to go to the frontier and become an ordinary soldier to defend my home and country!"

After finishing speaking, Yucun fell to his knees on the ground with a "Peng—" and straightened his back, saying, "Please, Your Majesty, please complete it!"

The Holy One looked at Yucun meaningfully, and suddenly said: "Okay! I will give you this dagger. Seven days later, a group of soldiers will go to Boluo Hetun, so you can go with the army! I want to see it, what is in your hand? How much enemy blood can be stained!"

As it was getting late and the key had already been released at the palace gate, a little eunuch brought Yucun out of the palace with a token, and when he got out of the palace gate, Yucun once again looked back at the tall vermilion lacquer wall of the Forbidden City, thinking, I, Jiahua, will come again back!

Turning his gaze to the Imperial Study Room, the Holy Majesty leaned on his seat and asked Li Dequan beside him, "You said that I let Jia Hua go, is that right or wrong?"

Li Dequan said: "It's His Majesty's kindness."

The Holy Majesty smiled when he heard the words, rubbed his face, and snorted softly: "Hmph, you can talk...you don't know if it's a blessing or a curse if you break out of a cocoon and become a butterfly!"

Prince Yong's Mansion.

"Mr. Wu, get out of the way!" Standing in the study, Shui Zhan yelled at Wu Sidao who was blocking the door.

"My lord, it's not that Wu doesn't want to let it go, it's that I really can't let it go! Not to mention that the palace gate has been unlocked now, you can't enter the palace at all, even if you go in, so what?" Wu Sidao leaned on his crutches, bitterly road.

"Are you going to let me wait here for Yucun to die!" Shui Zhan roared hoarsely.

"Don't be impatient, my lord. In Wu's opinion, Mr. Jia may not die." Wu Sidao comforted him.

"There are rumors in the palace that Li Dequan took the poisoned wine and Bai Ling went! You think Yucun may not die?!" Shui Zhan pointed in the direction of the palace.

Wu Sidao sat down on a chair beside him, and said, "My lord, please sit down and listen to Wu's detailed explanation."

Shui Zhan was in a state of anxiety, and there was a reason why Wu Sidao relied heavily on him. Whenever the situation was tense, he could always find a way to solve it. Now that Wu Sidao said that Jia Yucun might not die, there must be a reason, and I had no choice but to suppress the anxiety in my heart and listen to Wu Sidao's analysis.

"Your Majesty, the cause of this matter is that the Crown Prince was attracted to Master Jia. His fault is not on Master Jia. His Majesty has always favored Master Jia. He loves him very much because he is talented and thoughtful. Your Majesty may not really want to kill him." Mr. Jia. What Wu said is not pleasant. If Mr. Jia wants to be an excellent minister, he still lacks a ruthless decision. I really want to take this opportunity to beat Master Jia!" Wu Sidao looked at Shui Zhan who was sitting down.

"Go on." Shui Zhan frowned.

"My lord, you know in your heart that although the crown prince has been restored, his Sacred Heart has been lost, and he himself is not up to the mark. Although he still occupies the position of crown prince, he probably has no chance with that seat. The emperor is getting old, and in recent years He also promotes a newcomer. This is preparing contacts for his successor. Lord Jia has gained a lot of sacred hearts in recent years. My lord, how could the Lord abandon a capable minister for a useless son? So as long as Lord Jia speaks soft words, If you ask the order to be transferred to practice, there will be no real accident. Mr. Jia is a smart person, so he must be able to figure this out."

Hearing this, Shui Zhan said, "What does this have to do with whether I enter the palace to intercede? If this king enters the palace to intercede, wouldn't the chances of saving Jia Hua be greater?"

Wu Sidao shook his head when he heard the words, Shui Zhan was confused because he was concerned, and said: "My lord's words are wrong. The fifth princess can intercede on this matter, but you can't. If you go, you will harm Lord Jia. I'm afraid it will be the Holy Majesty." The falsehood has become true!"

Shui Zhan heard the words and asked, "Mr. Wu, what do you mean by that?"

Wu Sidao said with a dry mouth, he took a sip of tea and said: "You are different from the prince, the prince has no chance to climb the great treasure, you have! This matter is very active and passive, the prince wants to do something wrong with Mr. Jia, it is the prince who takes the initiative, Mr. Jia Passive, the fault is not Mrs. Jia. My lord, you ran into the palace in the middle of the night to intercede for Mrs. Jia, and you are telling the Holy Majesty that you and Mrs. Jia have had an affair for a long time. The Holy Majesty does not like Mrs. Jia's beauty. If you are so active If you want to intercede for Master Jia, it’s fine if it’s normal, but now that something like this just happened, how can you not let the Holy Majesty suspect it? My lord, do you think that if you are convicted of Lord Jia’s crime of seducing the Lord, how can the Holy Majesty let him go? Pass Master Jia!"

After listening to Wu Sidao's analysis, Shui Zhan slumped in the chair. Now, he can only pray in the palace to pray that Yucun can turn evil into good luck!

No.20 three times

Early in the morning of the second day, the imperial decree was officially issued, ordering Yucun to be the county magistrate of Boluohetun (now Longhua County, Hebei), and he rushed to Hebei to serve with [-] soldiers.

After the news of Yucun being demoted to Hebei to guard the border spread, there was an uproar in the court. Although Yucun was not a high-ranking official, he was quite favored on weekdays.The real reason for being demoted is naturally not humane, and it is only said that Yucun behaved improperly.

Seven days later, in the early morning, the long pavilion in the suburbs of Beijing, the morning light is faint, the willow branches and leaves on both sides of the road are drooping, and the wind blows the blue waves. At a glance, it looks like smoke and fog.The outside of the long pavilion was full of relatives of the border guards who came to see off their relatives and friends, noisy and lively.

It seemed that the soldiers were out of tune with Yucun, a scholar, or maybe because they respected Yucun, his future boss, the soldiers consciously gave up the shade under the pavilion to Yucun.Knowing that Yucun was demoted, although there was no reason for it, those casual acquaintances who knew Yucun all said goodbye in order to avoid suspicion.At this time, only Zhang Tingyu, Wang Yi, and Shen Jinsi came to see off in the pavilion.

Looking at the red lacquered city wall not far away, it seems that this wall separates Yucun from the capital, as if it is two time and space.

"Haha, brother Yucun, don't be sad, you should be happy when you come out of that place that eats people!" Seeing Yucun looking sad at the city wall of the capital, Wang Yi patted Yucun on the shoulder and said, "Now you are the first to go Now that you're gone, you don't have to suffer the sadness of seeing off your confidants one by one, just be content! Hengchen is the most pitiful one!"

When Yucun heard the words, he couldn't help looking at Wang Yi and Shen Jinsi in doubt, and asked, "What does Moon mean by that?"

Wang Yi and Shen Jinsi looked at each other, smiled at each other, and said, "Wei Shan and I will leave this capital in two days."

"Brother Yucun knows that I am used to being wild and unrestrained. I was able to bear it and stayed in the Imperial Academy for three years. It was not because of the unique books that filled the room, and I have almost finished reading them now." As Wang Yi said, he pointed to his head and said, "It's all here! It's time to go."

Although Wang Yi said it so easily, how could Yucun not know the bitterness in it, but how could Yucun do the thing that ruined the atmosphere, just smiled and said: "After the moon retires, don't forget to write to Hua, tell The address is a confidant, don't cut off contact."

Then he turned his head to Shen Jin and thought: "What is the reason for Wei Shan to leave the capital?"

Shen Jinsi smiled and said: "The day before yesterday, the Ministry of Officials came to inform me that there was a vacancy for the magistrate of Linying County, and that he would go to his post in a few days. I wanted to inform everyone before leaving to avoid being sad, but I didn't expect that Yucun would go ahead than Jinsi. step."

Saying this, the atmosphere in the pavilion was a little sad for a while, Zhang Tingyu couldn't help pouring a glass of wine for everyone when he saw this, and said: "What are you sad about, I, the worst person, haven't said anything yet! Come on,' persuade Jun Geng has a glass of wine, and there is no old friend when he leaves Yangguan in the west'ah!"

When everyone heard the words, they raised their wine glasses one after another and drank them all in one gulp. They all turned their glasses down to indicate that there was not a single drop left.

After drinking for three rounds, there was not much wine in the jug, and it was about the same time as Yucun Road for the soldiers on the frontier, so it was time to set off.

Yucun responded to the boss, turned around and said to the three of them: "We must say goodbye after sending you off for thousands of miles. Everyone, Yucun will go first! Hengchen, please take care of the little girl."

Zhang Tingyu said to Yucun, "Don't worry Yucun, Tingyu will raise Yinglian as her own daughter."

At this time, Xi Shun'er came over and called, saying that the carriage was ready.

Yucun bowed to the three of them, keeping everything in silence.The three of them returned the salute, feeling disappointed in their hearts.

I only heard the sound of horseshoes advancing gradually in the direction of the capital.
