Just in time for rain [恰逢雨连天] - Chapter 265

[265. two sixty-four chapters]

This is the anti-theft chapter Liu Chaoming

did not get up, but said: “His Royal Highness, Governor Su was sent to the palace for interrogation by the Supreme Court. Now that I have made a mistake, it should be borne by the Supreme Court.”

Sure enough, it was for Su Jin again.

He said coldly: “Although this son was passed to the palace by Lord Liu, the mistake he made has nothing to do with the trial of the Supreme Court, and Lord Liu does not need to worry about it.” Liu

Chaoming did not back down: “Dare to ask Your Highness, Su Jin What’s wrong ?” Zhu Minda said displeased: “Why, now this palace wants to kill someone, and I have to ask the Duchayuan for

instructions?” Liu Chaoming said: “His Royal Highness forgiveness, Wei Chen did not mean that. But Su Jin offended His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

, Wei Chen feels that he is to blame, if your Highness wants to punish, even Wei Chen will punish him.” Zhu Minda looked gloomy

, sneered and asked: “What if this palace wants him to die?” Liu Chaoming said with a deep expression:

“Please, Your Highness, and punish.”

Zhu Minda glanced at Zhu Nanxian, who was still struggling desperately on the ground, and at Liu Chaoming, who was kneeling on the side and resolutely begging for his life. He didn’t understand, but he was a governor from the eighth rank. Even if he had a brilliant mind, he was only an ant under the majestic imperial power, and he was a prince, so was it so difficult to kill an ant?

After all, Zhu Minda had Zhu Jingyuan’s blood on his body, and the more he determined, the more others blocked him, the more he had to do it at all costs.

He sneered and said, “Okay, okay, as you wish, I will kill him first, and then I will question you both!”

At this moment, a timid voice came from the other end of the hall: “Great Emperor Brother.”

Zhu Minda looked sideways, Zhu Shiqi and a person dressed in a peacock patch were standing on the side of the hall.

Peacock Buzi came limping first, smiling and calling Zhu Minda, “Brother-in-law.”

This person is not someone else, it is Shen Xi, the servant of the Ministry of Housing, whose leg was broken by his father because he said that “the difference between the north and the south is probably a misunderstanding”.

However, it was said that Shen Xi had two beautiful sisters, and one of them married Zhu Minda as the crown princess. Therefore, although he is a courtier, he is fortunate to have the honor of his sister’s beauty, and he has become half a royal family member.

Now that the courtiers are all present, Zhu Minda heard the “brother-in-law” and reprimanded with a dark face: “Presumptuous!”

Shen Xi smiled, and then Shi Shiran bowed down.

Zhu Minda has a strong relationship with the Crown Princess, and is more lenient to this brother-in-law who often comes and goes, and doesn’t care about his indiscretion, but said: “You take Seventeen back to the East Palace first, and wait for this Palace to finish cooking. Let’s go back and have dinner together.”

Shen Shilang has always been a fool to join in the fun, and after hearing this, he didn’t move his legs and feet, immediately dragged Zhu Shiqiyi and knelt in front of Zhu Minda, and said seriously, “Brother-in-law is angry, How can my brother-in-law get away? Well, anyway, my brother-in-law wants to punish someone, why don’t you just take the opportunity to punish me and Shiqiyi?”

Zhu Minda was disturbed by him for a while, and he scolded: “Get out of here. Get out, you’re still making a fool of yourself!”

Shen Xi said in surprise, “Why is this foolishness?” He took his chin and pointed at Zhu Nanxian, and then at Liu Chaoming, “A direct prince, the head of a hundred officials, this palace is all up and down. Apart from your majesty and brother-in-law, the most precious masters are all kneeling and begging for death, if I don’t follow the wind and beg for death, wouldn’t I be too blind to see them?” After speaking, he pushed him and knelt beside him with a blank expression on his face. Zhu Shiqi, who was in the room, urged: “Quick, please, eldest brother, let him give me two deaths, and let us also touch the glory of His Highness the Thirteenth and Lord Liu.”

Zhu Min was furious. He shouted, “Shen Qingyue!” But he didn’t know what to say to him.

Shen Xi climbed up the pole, immediately made a commanding gesture, glanced at Su Jin who was tied to the bench and stared at him, pointed at Yu Linwei beside him and said, “What else do you care about him? Pin Xiaoli, if you want to die, you should rank behind this servant, so you can bring the rope that binds him.”

Yu Linwei stared blankly at the hemp rope in his hand.

Shen Xi raised his head and stretched out his neck: “Yes, I’ll just come over with this hemp rope and strangle this official to death.”

This is the first time Su Jin has seen Shen Qingyue. It was a pity that she was rushing to wrap the hemp rope around her neck, which was so unpleasant that every time she thought about it, it was as clear as yesterday.

A few years later, Su was promoted to Ren Shangshu, an extremely high-ranking official. Shen Xi fell into her hands because of a trivial matter, so he asked her in a friendly way, if he could look at the face of his best friend and punish him in private. Su Jin sat high in the hall and said coldly, “Okay.” Then he threw down a bundle of hemp rope and said, “The one that was tied to me back in the day, you can use it to

strangle your neck.”

, but Juminda calmed down in the noise.

Shen Qingyue is right, Liu Chaoming is the head of the hundred officials, Su Jin is only a mere eighth-rank junior official, and it is not worth it to stand in a stalemate with the Supreme Court for such a person.

It was he who was impulsive and almost lost sight of the overall situation.

Zhu Minda stopped Shen Xi and said awe-inspiringly: “A ruler is not a ruler, a minister is not a minister, what are you talking about?” Then he turned to his side and said to Liu Chaoming, “Since there is Lord Liu as bailout, Governor Su is at fault this time. We will not pursue it.” Then he sighed, “Forget it, for the sake of the Supreme Court, let Lord Liu take this son away.”

Yu Linwei loosened the tie for Su Jin, and Su Jin was just beaten . With the staff, her feet were trembling when they landed on the ground. A servant wanted to come up to help her. She shook her head and avoided it.

Su Jin walked to Liu Chaoming’s side and bid farewell to Zhu Minda with him.

The two didn’t take two steps before Zhu Minda called out again, “Master Liu.”

Su Jin’s eyes darkened.

There was a small smile on Zhu Minda’s lips, as if his anger was just a joke: “Master Liu is usually involved in official business, and he has less contact with the East Palace. The end of next month is the birthday of the Crown Princess, and I hope Lord Liu will definitely come.”

This is the price of buying your life with Donggong.

Under the tyrannical and tyrannical governance of Emperor Jing Yuan, the overcorrected Chao Gang all showed a precarious imbalance between the monarch and his ministers.

Especially when the founding monarch is already very old, and the crown princes have self-esteem, who does not covet the supreme imperial power?

Under the seemingly calm throne, there are many forces, and they are in the vortex, even if they are extremely officials, they are also duckweed.

Liu Chaoming turned his head and bowed his head with a calm expression: “Thank you, Your Highness, for your invitation. The Crown Princess’s birthday, Wei Chen will definitely come.

” He was still staring blankly at the direction where Su Jin left, a surge of anger surged in his heart, and he threw his sleeves away.

Yu Linwei followed Zhu Minda away in a mighty manner. Zhu Nanxian released his restraints, reached out and took off the towel that was stuck in his mouth, then spat out a mouthful of bruised blood, turned over and lay on his back, staring blankly at the wind and rain coming. .

His bandaged knee oozes blood again during the struggle just now. In addition to the gums, the fingertips are also stained with blood.

What’s the use? Five years ago he didn’t keep Su Jin, and five years later, he still didn’t.

At least it wasn’t him who kept her.

Shen Xi struggled hard, and finally got a good result. He supported the ground and fell to the side. Seeing Zhu Nanxian’s embarrassed appearance, he asked twice, “Zhu Shisan, the one who was tied to the torturer just now. The one on the bench is the one you almost took off Zeng Youliang’s arm for him?”

Zhu Nanxian turned to look at him, as if he didn’t want to say more, he just asked, “What are you doing here?”

Shen Xi giggled , looking in the direction of the prison of the Ministry of Punishment: “I, I have an enemy who is dying. I will give him a meal on the road. After all, it is fate to be an enemy for a lifetime.”

Zhu Nanxian turned back to stare at Tianmu, too lazy to pay attention to him.

Shen Xi looked at him like this, and said lightly: “I know what you are thinking, do you feel that you are high but can’t control your destiny? You feel that you are a prince but you can’t even protect someone you want to protect? Do you hate yourself? You can only watch him die, but there’s nothing you can do. Zhu Shisan, do you think you’ve lived in vain?”

His words were like a sharp blade, cutting through the wind and waves all the way to Zhu Nanxian’s heart.

Zhu Nanxian clasped his fingers together and squeezed the word “roll” out of his teeth.

Shen Xi said, “Do you want to know why?”

Zhu Nanxian’s eyes were hurt, his Adam’s apple moved up and down, and he asked in a hoarse voice, “Why?”

Shen Xi said, “Even if you saved him, it was you. Put him in danger. You are your highness, but you have no supreme power. You were even born and raised in the shadow of this supreme power. There are bound to be countless pairs of eyes staring at you behind you. One step, someone will uproot the tree that is blocking your established route. Your protection is a double-edged sword for insignificant people. So if you really want to protect someone, otherwise you are strong enough, otherwise He is strong enough, otherwise, before that, staying away from love may not be a security.”

Zhu Nanxian turned his head and looked at him blankly.

Shen Xi raised his eyebrows and said, “I still don’t understand? Let’s put it this way, His Highness had a cat when he was a child. It was white and fluffy, and it was very human. Do you remember?”

Zhu Nanxian nodded.

“Then one day, the white cat became ill, and His Highness the seventh was anxious about it for a day, and did not go to Hanlin to study. That night, his mother-in-law ordered the cat to be skinned and killed in front of him. .”

Zhu Nanxian’s eyes dimmed, and he finally seemed to understand.

Shen Xi said: “His Thirteenth Highness, do you know what this story tells us?”

Zhu Nanxian asked, “What is the truth?”

Shen Xi stared at him solemnly and said, “Let’s tell us about this, in this deep palace, it is better to keep cats than to keep birds, and it is better to keep birds than to fight crickets, ancient and modern monarchs, tens of thousands of princes, love to fight crickets. There are too many to kill cats and birds because of playing with things, but have you heard of killing crickets?” Then he smiled and said in a low voice, “Your Highness, Wei Chen has newly acquired a cricket and named it ‘Tiger’. General’, a pair of long beards are so imposing, seeing that you are so stagnant and difficult to understand, why not give it to you as a minister?”
