Part Two Chapter Twenty-Two: It's up to people to plan things 6
[69 Book Bar-www.] There is such a rule, because on the way here, Tao Changshi and Liu Shixian were competing for merit and demanded to be the vanguard, but they were defeated by Fu. Liu Shixian had already died in battle.
Tao Changshi knew that he would die, so he would take the lead and ask me to join the night attack. He wanted to make great contributions in order to survive, but in the end he was not worth the effort and was still beheaded.
When I returned to prison, the prison guard obviously treated me much better and my food improved a lot. I simply stopped worrying and read the "Heart Sutra of Morality" every day. It turned out that my heart was in chaos, and the book said that meditation was about "
"I can't get up with distractions," and only now can I do something. I just want to use this to read into other people's hearts, but it seems that I still have a long way to go.
Three more days later. No one came to see me in these three days, and even Cao Wendao did not come. Instead, a medical officer came over to remove the thread on my leg, changed some medicine, and said that my wound was healed.
I asked him why Zhenqingzi didn't come. The medical officer didn't know anything about it, and only said that Zhenqingzi and his disciples didn't know where they went.
After changing the medicine, I lay on the bed and recited the book "The Heart Sutra of Morality". When Zhenqingzi came to change the medicine for me five days ago, the poem he recited later was quite meaningful to leave. Maybe he had already lived in seclusion somewhere.
I was thinking about it all, and suddenly there was another sound in the iron gate. I quickly sat up, but the prison officer walked in. He had always been expressionless, and at this moment he said with a smile on his face: "General Chu,
You are overjoyed.”
My heart suddenly jumped. This was usually said to the person who was about to behead him. Should I kill me? The prison officer must have known my thoughts and hurriedly said, "General Chu, don't worry, Emperor, please do not worry.
I have been sentenced to special pardons to the death penalty of General Chu. I have been guarding the prison for so many years, but you are the first one to be pardoned."
The Emperor would actually give me a special amnesty order! I really never dreamed of it, but the prison officer looked full of spring breeze, and it seemed that he was not lying to me. I followed him out, but I still didn't know why.
As soon as he arrived in the hall, he saw Cao Wendao walking back and forth. When he saw me coming out, he was overjoyed and rushed over and grabbed me on the shoulders and said, "The rule of law, the amnesty book is coming down!"
He grabbed me so tightly, I broke free from his hands and said, "What book of pardon?"
I broke away from Cao Wendao's hands and had no place to let go. He rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Zhen Zheng asked Wenhou for an emergency with the book of Yu Shu and asked for a book of pardon. These two days have really made us very anxious.
It's not until today."
Zhen Yining went to Wenhou to ask for a pardon? I was shocked, but immediately thought that Wenhou's name was Zhen Lizhi. Zhen Yining might be his nephew. I said, "What is Zhen Yining from Wenhou's name?
people?"
Cao Wendao was still rubbing his hands and suddenly said in a daze: "What does Zhen Zongjun have to do with Lord Wenhou?"
Zhen Yining is mostly Wenhou's son. Maybe Zhen Yining thinks that promoting his background will make people feel that his contribution is due to his father's love, so he simply doesn't say anything. No wonder I asked about his father.
, he was vague. But he refused to say it himself, and of course I would not promote it. Perhaps, this time, he would never reveal his relationship with Wenhou. Although it was not for me to ask for a pardon.
Because of Qian Wenyi's betrayal, I was a little suspicious of friendship, but after knowing Zhen Yining's efforts and seeing Cao Wendao's excitement, I still felt a warmth.
Cao Wendao was already anxious and said: "Constitution, let's go back to the camp immediately."
He was about to come and pull me, but the prison officer stopped him and said, "General Cao, wait."
Cao Wendao said anxiously: "What else is there?"
"General Chu was ordered by His Highness to be detained here, but I have never seen His Highness approve this book of amnesty, so you can't take General Chu away."
Cao Wendao said angrily: "Why are there such regulations?"
I didn't expect that I would be a little surprised and asked Cao Wendao: "General Cao, did Your Highness see it after he brought the amnesty book?"
Cao Wendao said: "Justice has just arrived, and I will come over immediately. Can the emperor and Lord Wenhou still count the instructions?"
The prison officer still said sternly: "God of General Cao, please give the amnesty letter to His Highness for review before it will take effect."
Cao Wendao was furious. I was afraid that he would say something again in anger. He hurriedly said: "General Cao, please deliver the handwriting to your highness quickly... General Shao, please pass it to His Highness for review." This handwriting was signed by the Emperor, and I don't even
I believe the second prince will have the courage to disobey. If Cao Wendao is angry and does something impulsive, it will be difficult to deal with it.
Cao Wendao took the handwriting and put it in his arms, and said a little uneasy: "General Chu, then wait for me."
He is not a reckless person, but he is too impulsive and often does it without having time to think too much. I said, "General Cao, don't be in a hurry, come step by step."
Although Shao Fengguan may not be credible, he can take the risk to see me, but I am afraid he is sincere. Now I have helped him hide the truth, and it is time for him to repay me. With this handwriting, he will definitely do this favor. I originally
I wanted him to find Lu Gongxing, but because I remembered Lu Gongxing, I didn't dare to believe Lu Gongxing too much, so I asked Cao Wendao to find Shao Fengguan.
Cao Wendao agreed, and just as he was about to leave, a prison guard suddenly came in and said, "Sir, please see General Lu..." As soon as he came in, he saw that there were already many people standing here, but he was stunned. The prison guard said, "General Lu."
Is there anything wrong?"
"General Lu holds the order of His Highness, please ask the criminal Chu Xiuhong."
The prisoner took a parchment book, and the prison officer took it and looked at it. When he was reading it, I couldn't help but feel uneasy, not knowing what would be written on the parchment book. The prison officer took a look and smiled and said, "General Chu,
That's just right, Your Highness's edict also said that General Chu was pardoned for his death."
It seems that the second prince originally had the intention to kill me. I was locked up here and I never knew what the charges they had given me, but the prison guards had said before that once they were admitted to the jail, they didn't have to think about going out.
I had probably convicted of death for a long time. It seems that Lu Gongxing was not lying to save me, and I couldn't help feeling a little guilty about doubting him.
Cao Wendao smiled and said, "That's good. Can you let General Chu leave?"
The prison officer did not answer, but said, "General Chu, please follow me to see General Lu."
My heart moved again. The prison officer seemed to want to speak but stopped. I am afraid that the second prince's order to forgive me was not so simple. But now that things have come to this, it is useless to think too much. I nodded and said, "Okay, okay."
Bar."
I went out with the prison officer, and Cao Wendao also felt that there might be something wrong with me and followed me with some concern. He came in the inner hall of the prison, which was where the prisoner was interrogated, and he could not even bring in weapons. Walking through the inner hall
At that time, there was a cold air around me, and my body couldn't help but feel cold. As soon as I arrived at the outer hall, I felt much hotter. Lu Gongxing was sitting on the side, with more than a dozen personal soldiers surrounding him. As soon as I saw me come out,
Lu Gongxing stood up and greeted me, but his eyes felt a little guilty.
The prison officer handed all the handwriting to Lu Gongxing and said, "General Lu, you must bring the criminal Chu Xiuhong, and there will be another handwriting to the emperor."
Lu Gongxing was not surprised and took the handwriting and said, "Okay, thank you, please return General Chu's weapons and property to him."
When I was locked up, all the swords, guns and horses were confiscated. Forget the guns, that sword and Feiyu were really something that could not be discarded. I had already wanted to ask the prison officer to get it back, but Lu Gongxing had already made arrangements.
The prison official said: "As for orders, please wait for General Lu."
As soon as he walked away, I said, "General Lu, what's the accident?"
Lu Gongxing smiled and said, "General Chu, Lu is incompetent. Your Highness insists on his own. He thinks that you are not guilty and wants to dismiss you and send you back to the imperial capital and hand it over to the Three Laws for interrogation."
Cao Wendao said anxiously: "General Lu, have you never seen the Emperor's amnesty letter?"
"The book of pardon is only a crime of death, and has not been exempted from General Chu."
Cao Wendao wanted to say something else, and I said, "General Cao, don't say anything more."
Although I was still confused, I already knew the whole story. He probably knew the Emperor's book of pardon, so he caught a loophole in the book of pardon and still wanted to detain me. I was still locked up before.
In the prison, it was not easy for the second prince to kill me to silence me. Although I am exempted from the death penalty, I went directly to the second prince's control. The amnesty book that Zhen Yining tried his best to ask for me actually treated me.
It is even more unfavorable. I don’t believe that the stubborn second prince can think of this idea, but I’m afraid it’s Lu Gongxing’s idea.
Lu Gongxing still looked depressed and whispered: "General Chu, don't worry, I will ask someone to protect your safety all the way."
"Thank you, General Lu, for your kindness."
Even I could hear the sarcasm in this sentence. Lu Gongxing was stunned and his face changed. He didn't know what he was thinking.
