Just in time for rain [恰逢雨连天] - Chapter 21

[21. Chapter Twenty]

Zhu Nanxian glanced at Su Jin, didn’t have time to say anything, he immediately put his back against the door, and said briefly, “Quick!”

Su Jin understood, raised his hand to pull the thin curtain, and quickly took off his clothes and wrapped the straps.

The servant did not open the door, but replied to Zhu Minda, “Your Highness, the door seems to be locked.”

Zhu Minda said coldly, “Break open!

” As if it was cracked, the two doors clearly opened a gap in the inner gap, but they closed with a “bang”.

Zhu Minda squinted his eyes slightly, his face was very ugly, and said solemnly: “Bring a candle.” The

sky was dark, and the clouds were so thick that they cast a large shadow on the front of the palace. Seeing Zhu Nanxian’s figure silently leaning against the door.

He sneered, and immediately shouted: “Yulinwei!”

“Yes!”

Zhu Minda said, “Bumping the door!”

Yulinwei’s strength was comparable to that of a servant. The four of them slammed into it, and Zhu Nanxian was finally unable to resist.

The huge momentum made his center of gravity unbalanced, and he fell forward while turning over the table on the side. The makeup fell, the bronze mirror shattered, and his knees just stuck on a piece of broken mirror.

Zhu Nanxian couldn’t care less about the pain, looked at Su Jin, and was relieved to see that she had replaced the yisa at the moment when the door slammed open.

Zhu Minda stepped over the threshold, and the first thing he saw was Zhu Nanxian’s bleeding knee. His eyes became more and more gloomy.

The back room was very messy, and there was a curtain in front of the couch, and I didn’t know what Shisan was doing in it.

Zhu Minda walked up to Su Jin and said coldly, “Su Jin?”

Su Jinfu said: “Go back to Your Highness, Wei Chen is.”

Five years ago, Thirteen went crazy and made a riot in the Ministry of Officials because of him, and today, it is still because of him!

It seems that this child must be removed.

Zhu Minda’s voice no longer had a trace of warmth: “Yulin Wei, take this person out and kill him with the guilt of the lord!”

It was not until Shen Shi that Liu Chaoming and the six ministers withdrew from the Fengtian Palace.

After the early dynasty, Emperor Jing Yuan ordered Qi Qing to stay behind to discuss the case of the Northern and Southern Shizi, but Liu Chaoming actually remonstrated that Qiu Ge Lao and Yan Ziyan would not die if they were guilty. These words not only touched the sage’s inverse scale, but also affected the six ministers and suffered the evil fire of Emperor Jing Yuan.

At the end, Emperor Jing Yuan said: “Liu Qing is young and full of energy, and you can’t see everything in the long run. Go back and think about yourself for a month. You don’t need to see me again.”

He signaled to stop his early morning in January.

After Qiqing withdrew, they went to Chitai in parallel. The head of the Minister of Rites, Luo Songtang, couldn’t hold back and complained to Liu Chaoming: “You said that you are like a stuffy gourd on weekdays, but you want to make your Majesty unhappy at this juncture. What does Your Majesty think? , don’t we feel like a mirror in our hearts? Since the beginning of this case, Qiu Ge’s head is no longer on his neck. Do you still want to pick it up for him and sew it up? The justice that the northern officials want to seek is more than this one. Imperial Examination? What they want is the Sacred Heart, Your Majesty is here to show them!”

After hearing this, Zeng Youliang, the official ministry, mocked: “Lord Luo’s words are different, who is Mrs. Liu? Censor, that is placed in the former court, it is the doctor of Censor, the head of the official, it is my duty to offend Yan Zhijian, and it is also my duty to be involved by him. Don’t you feel like a mirror in your heart, Lord Luo? The end of this case is Injustice or not, you don’t have a steel scale in your heart? How can you be like a gourd without a mouth when you come to His Majesty?”

Gong Shangshu of the Ministry of War made a loud “bah”: “According to the old man, in the future, the seven ministers will face the holy, and the seven of us will first unify the caliber, so as to save one from offending Your Majesty, and the remaining six will also have a bad life.” , glared at Shen Tuo again: “You said that you are a minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and he is the censor of the left capital, and you are still helping? You are brothers in the yamen, anyone can help, but you can’t, you don’t make your majesty think you are two Are people co-authoring it to add to his old man’s block?”

Shen Tuo said lightly: “Oh, after that, the old man will not talk about it, and he will all learn from Lord Luo. Your Majesty asks Aiqing, what do you think, let’s reply, Your Majesty’s Sacred Heart Dictatorship|dictatorship, You are extremely wise, and the ministers are all on the ground, and dare not make any more false statements? Then what do the six departments need to do with the Supreme Court? All of them can be withdrawn!”

Luo Songtang said displeasedly: “Hey, hey, what about Liu Yun, how can you get involved with me? ”

Liu Shangshu of the Ministry of Works is a gentleman, and seeing the other Shangshus making a fuss, he hurriedly advised: “Don’t be arguing, don’t be arguing, according to the old man, you are all right, and it is not wrong for Mr. Liu to commit Yan Zhijian. He is young, so we need to take more care. But then again, Liu Yun, you have to listen to what the old man has to say. Your Majesty is always arbitrary, and he has never been a master of his own accord. When the old man has an idea in his heart, who will talk more One sentence is the following crime, that is, His Majesty took a fancy to you, and stopped your early court for a month. If you change to some old men, I am afraid that you will be dismissed and investigated immediately.”

He said for a while, and looked at the few beside him . His face was dark and unhappy, and then he smiled and said, “It’s really not a big deal, if you want me to see, Master Gong is right. In the future, we will have seven face saints and a unified caliber, and this page will be I’ve turned the page.” Then he stabbed the Minister of the Household, Qian Shangshu, who was silent, with his elbow, “Old Qian, what do you think?”

Qian Zhihuan smiled and said, “Anyway, this old man is the one who manages the keys to the treasury. , as long as you don’t talk about the money, you can come up with ideas, and the old man will follow suit.” As soon as

this statement came out, it was inevitable that there was a little bit of “sweeping the snow in front of the door”.

The seven of them were talking on the stage, and Zhao Yan and several other ministers were waiting under the stage, not daring to come forward.

Dasui is not like the previous dynasty, the emperor is under the head, and there is a prime minister who is less than one person and more than ten thousand people. Emperor Jingyuan was the founding king of the country. The procuratorate is directly in his own hands.

These seven high-ranking officials are the closest to the imperial power (Note 2).

Seeing Zhao Yan anxiously waiting for him, Liu Chaoming said goodbye to the six ministers, and came to the stage to step down: “What’s wrong?”

Zhao Yan lowered his head and hesitated for a while, then raised his eyes and stared at him and said, “I’m with you. Say, don’t worry, something happened to Su Jin.”

Liu Chaoming was stunned, and then hurried to the courthouse without saying a word.

Zhao Yan took a few steps up, grabbed him and said, “Didn’t I tell you not to worry?” After a while, he pointed in the direction of the front of the palace: “It’s this one.”

Liu Chaoming frowned, “Why? What’s going on?”

Zhao Yan sighed heavily, and said, “You should blame me for this.” After speaking, how did Su Jin fall into the water, and how did he get to the front of the palace? When he said it, he said at the end: “I don’t know who is so powerful, but put someone in the court. Now, His Highness the Crown Prince sees that His Highness the Thirteenth has tossed in and out because of Su Jin, and I heard that he was injured. , I want to kill Su Jinzhang in a fit of rage. I came here to ask you how to deal with this matter. I have already ordered Qian San’er to conduct a thorough inspection of the Metropolitan Court and find the inner servant who delivered the medicine. There is a preparation first, and when His Royal Highness asks, it is better to have an explanation, right?”

Liu Chaoming’s eyes were full of turbulence, he didn’t even have time to think, he said in a deep and short way: “Save the people first.” Then he went to the front hall of the palace. go in the direction.

Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment, but this time he was unable to hold him, so he had to walk quickly and said, “Are you trying to understand or what? Yesterday you were in the Zhan Shifu for a discussion, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sold you. A love. Today, Su Jin has really touched the scale. If you still want to save him, you will buy a life from the East Palace! The Crown Prince and the Seven Kings are like water and fire, and the Duchayuan has never helped each other. You owe this How do you repay the debt of favor? You are the censor of Zuodu, and you are one of the seven ministers. If you are caught in the center of the battle between the government, the imperial power and the crown prince, how will you handle yourself in the future?”

Liu Chaoming’s steps were not at all. Without pausing, “I’ll talk about it later.”

Zhao Yan said with a heavy sigh, “Liu Yun, I know that you are someone who values promises more than a thousand pieces of gold. At that time, the old imperial censor asked you to keep it. Su Jin, you didn’t keep it, and I still feel ashamed. But so what? The bastards from the Ministry of Personnel wrote Songshan County in their message, but they took Su Jin to another place. Jian Nuo, one person left the capital to find him, and it took him half a year to find him. This should be considered as a repayment of love, right? If it still doesn’t work, you burned a policy for him yesterday. Is this another debt? Thirteen Your Highness may not be able to protect Su Jin, if you go to buy your life from the East Palace, you will send yourself into the fire pit!”

Liu Chaoming paused, lowered his eyes and said, “The promise that must be fulfilled is called promise, otherwise, what is the difference between joking? What’s more, I didn’t buy my life from the East Palace because of the entrustment of the old imperial censor.”

He paused, and suddenly flashed in front of Su Jin’s self-blame and mournful eyes when he was kneeling and said, “I have a responsibility.” He said softly: “He is indeed worth trying to protect.” The

six Yulin guards pushed Zhu Nanxian to the ground, restrained his hands, feet and neck respectively, and blocked his mouth with a cloth, which made him stop moving. .

Zhu Minda looked at his younger brother, whose eyes were bloodshot and still trying to struggle, and suddenly felt a little scared, afraid that in the long run, Thirteen would be destroyed by this man named Su Shiyu.

Zhu Minda was determined to kill and asked coldly, “Su Jin, do you know the guilt?”

Su Jin lowered his eyes and kowtowed to Zhu Minda: “Wei Chen is guilty.”

Zhu Minda said lightly: “It’s good to be convicted, and you don’t have to choose a place, just stick to kill here.” Then he turned his head and looked at Zhu Nanxian coldly, “Let him watch it with his own eyes, or he will die, and read I want to stop.” The

two guards came behind Su Jin, Su Jin stood up and walked towards the execution bench, but stopped in front of Zhu Nanxian, and bowed to him slowly and seriously.

Zhu Nanxian knew that she was saying goodbye to herself.

The moment she got up, he saw that the desolation that had accumulated in her eyes for five years suddenly turned into a clear calm.

At this moment, Zhu Nanxian felt that he saw Su Jin five years ago again, but he saw it more thoroughly.

She has never changed. It turns out that under that breeze-like temperament, there has always been a kind of stubbornness that is not afraid of death.

Yu Linwei tied Su Jin to the torture stool, Zhu Nanxian whimpered from his blocked mouth, he gritted his teeth hard, and blood oozes from his lips.

Zhu Minda stopped looking at him, and said coldly: “Fight.” Yu Linwei

raised his stick, and while the stick fell on Su Jin, a voice came from behind: “His Royal Highness.”

to.

Liu Chaoming stood outside the gloomy and dull palace, with a deep look in his eyes as if the thick fog of late autumn had gathered, kneeling down and bowing deeply to Zhu Minda.
