Chapter 71 Suspicious approach, defensive side (4)
"Junior, see you, uncle." Cun Zhao came into the room and bowed first.
"Sit down." Tai Su's beard stood straight up, and he didn't even look at him. His face was extremely ugly, as if it was sallow.
Cun Zhao didn't know why, so he had no choice but to keep his head down, not daring to say a word, and sat quietly aside.
"What should I say to you, Uncle Rong Qing!" Tai Su slapped his thigh and coughed angrily, "I wanted to make him calmer earlier, but he didn't take it to heart at all, and now he is being bullied by the rats! It's simply
They are smearing our faces!"
Cunzhao smiled bitterly and hurriedly went to comfort him. Seeing that his anger had subsided, he asked: "What happened in Denglai? You old man, please tell me in detail."
Tai Su then repeated what the messenger had told him. After listening to it, Cun Zhao suddenly understood.
"Now that he is in danger, we have to risk our lives to save him!" Tai Su pounded the table, "You have always made up your mind, so this matter is entirely up to you. Don't let him down.
Entrusted."
Cun Zhao just frowned and said nothing.
"Did you hear that?" Tai Su's face darkened.
"Well... I will risk my life for my cousin!" Cun Zhao stood up quickly, walked to him, clenched his fists, and saluted heavily.
Taisu just cleared up his doubts, and after a few words of warning, he sent him out.
Although Cunzhao showed firm determination, he actually did not feel optimistic, and Tai Su's words could not change his heart. He was even ready to make a choice.
"Since Liu Thief has the ambition to seize the military power in the forbidden area, he must not stop doing it. If the prince is betrayed by then, not only will we be destroyed, but the country will also be in danger of being moved..." He was worried.
He looked at the sky and paced slowly in the corridor, 'Unless my uncle... sacrifices his life in Dengzhou, we can continue the fortune of the Holy Dynasty and take measures to protect ourselves...'
"I would like to ask, have the two eunuchs reached a conclusion after their discussion?" The messenger was still waiting outside the door. Seeing him so depressed, he couldn't help but become worried.
"Oh," Cun Zhao then noticed him, "the result of the discussion is very good. The old uncle said that I can solve this matter by myself, so there is no need to trouble the prince. I will help you take care of your expenses and leave here as soon as possible.
, don’t linger any longer.”
"That prince..."
Cun Zhao hurriedly took out a few taels of silver from his bag, put it into the hand of the messenger, and held it for him: "I have said that it may not be a good thing for the prince to intervene. If the righteous man continues not to agree, then he does not trust Cun Zhao."
"How dare you, how dare you..." The messenger consciously put away the money.
"There are many people outside, so I'll send you off a short distance away." Cun Zhaoqiang pretended to smile, watched him arrive at the door, and let out a long breath.
During the period before the messenger returned, Rong Qing had been claiming to be ill at home and refused to participate in any court discussions, which made Liu Zhennian very angry. He told Niu Yuan: "I don't know where this guy heard about the seizure of power."
He was afraid of me like a tiger and huddled in the house. Since he was like this, I simply broke in and pulled him out so that I could vent my bad breath!"
Niu Yuan smiled faintly: "Liu Xiang is angry. If we really want to cure him, we may not be able to do it even if we let him hide in the ends of the earth. It's just that he is a member of the royal family and cannot use force, so we still need to use documents."
"How do you say this?"
"Liu Xiangke went to the emperor to ask for help, saying that the confessions have been tried in Dengzhou and it is of great importance. He should ask the chief inspector to go with him to settle the case. Your Majesty has no reason to refuse and holds an edict in hand. How dare he still dare to do so?
Can't you refute this? When you get to Dengzhou, you will be separated from your subordinates and far away from the emperor. You will have no soldiers and power, and your life and death will be entirely up to you."
Liu Zhennian nodded, feeling that it made sense.
"Sir Jin, open the door! Royal brother, open the door!"
Rong Qing was drinking ginseng soup in the hall. When he heard the shouts outside the door, he was so frightened that his hands shook slightly and he dropped his spoon on the ground.
"It's Liu Zhennian's voice..." He was so frightened that his face turned pale and he sat still in a daze.
Seeing this, the guard next to him gave him a quick push: "Prince Si, go lie down on the bed quickly and pretend to be sick. I'll open the door later."
"Ah, okay, okay..." Rong Qing's eyes were still dull, and he hurriedly moved to lie down beside the bed, holding on to the quilt tightly. Several people hurriedly opened the door, and some guards hurriedly picked up the spoons.
Bring the ginseng soup into the back room.
"It's Mr. Liu..."
Rong Qing tilted her head and listened carefully to the voices outside the room.
"I am here under the command of His Majesty, why not let the Emperor's brother personally greet me?"
"Si Jin is ill and has not recovered yet. He is resting in his bedroom."
"Take me to him."
When Rong Qing heard the footsteps getting closer, he quickly retracted his head, closed his eyes tightly, and coughed twice on purpose.
"Who...cough, who?" He opened his eyes a little and saw Liu Zhennian standing at the door.
Liu Zhennian strode over, holding the edict in his hand, as if he didn't mean to show mercy to him.
"Your Majesty has an edict. There is a new confession in Dengzhou. Please go with me to conclude the case." He said coldly.
"Liu..." Rong Qing lowered his eyebrows and kept touching his forehead with his left hand, "Mr. Liu, I'm afraid I can't stand firmly. How can I go to Dengzhou with you? If I had known this, it would not have been a good idea to stay there at that time.
What?"
"The situation has changed, so you have to act with caution," Liu Zhennian looked directly at him, "Besides... the commander's face is not bad."
Rong Qing was so shocked by these words that he broke out in a cold sweat. He hesitated and couldn't answer for a long time.
"Mr. Liu, this is because the medicine is very effective. Although it is quite effective, you still need to rest for a few days and not catch the cold. If you are forced to go far away, you may be afraid that your body will not be able to bear the pain." The imperial guard behind him came to his rescue.
road.
"Well," Liu Zhennian immediately put the edict on the bedside, "you will write to the emperor, saying that you are not feeling well and you should send someone else, and ask your subordinates to take this edict and send it back together."
After hearing this, Rong Qing took a breath of cold air: "This, this is not good, please ask Mr. Liu to help with the situation."
"Not so good?" Liu Zhennian laughed strangely twice, and his face suddenly turned angry, "It was Si Jin who was clearly disobeying the order, but he was still unwilling to take the responsibility, and instead asked me to take the blame! Damn it!
What kind of person must I have become!"
"I am speechless, I am speechless," Rong Qing did not dare to pretend anymore. He immediately reached out to pick up the edict and raised it high above his head. "How dare Rong Qing resist the edict...I would rather obey the edict."
"Okay." Liu Zhennian's anger gradually subsided, "Then you pack up, it's best to have lunch, and be sure to set off before today's hour."
Rong Qing endured the anger and with a look of shame on his face, he respectfully replied: "Yes..." and then watched him throw away his sleeves.
"you……"
The sergeant beside him was about to say a few words of comfort, but with a thud, Rong Qing slammed the edict to the ground.
