Chapter 42
Cui knew the reason for the crime of his eldest daughter Dugu Mingjing, but he was just persuaded to persuade the young emperor to restrain his alcohol and sex, and was sentenced to death. The younger daughter was just a deep sisterly relationship. After saying a few words for her sister, she was punished to be in the sun.
The last descendants of Yuwen Yu were no longer qualified to be emperors, and they were also called Yuwen Yu, and they were called "Your Majesty". They had to fast and bathe when they saw the driver. They were really arrogant! Now that things are helpless, not only does not come to plead for mercy, but also the hard work of the Yang family has been in vain.
Apologize, apologize! What are the crimes of the two daughters? It’s just a rude speech! If you are really guilty, you can reflect on your heart when you plead with mercy; and even though you know that you are not guilty, you have to blame yourself. This is a disagreement of right and wrong, which is embarrassing...
The Secret Guard reiterated: "Your Majesty is busy..."
"He's not seeing him?"
"yes"
"Are discussing national affairs?"
"..." Yuwen Yuzheng played chess with Yuwen Hu, and Li Bing, a sergeant of the guard of the Ministry, was naturally not easy to tell him about this matter.
"I'm sorry to report again, so I'll say that Dugu is extremely frightened... If Your Majesty does not allow him to apologize, the criminal will run away to the office..." Dugu said that, and then fell on the bluestone slab in front of the palace.
The Secret Guard hesitated for a while, but he did not go in to report, but said to Cui: "I think that if the wife can kneel in front of the palace for a long time, it would be better to apologize in person..."
Cui looked at Sergeant Si Wei in confusion. Only then did he notice that this person was still young, but he was tall and handsome. His eyes were as bright as lightning under his thick eyebrows, and there was a sense of heroism between his eyebrows...
"This matter is very serious, do you know?" she said.
"I can't do it well..." Sergeant Siwei said weighingly, "It's like Yuwen Jue..."
"So, I'd like to ask you to go in and report..."
"So, it's better to kneel on the spot..."
Cui still looked at the Secret Guard in confusion. But there was a straight nose bridge, with a slightly eagle-mouthed nose, which was a unique eagle-mouthed nose of the Xianbei people, but it was not as quenched too much by the Xiongnu. The Xianbei people were originally descendants of Yan and Huang, and their noses were originally the same as those of the Han people. Because they lived in the north of the Mobei for a long time, they lived with the Xiongnu and intermarried for a long time, it was difficult to meet pure-bred Xianbei people. Most of them had slightly hooked noses, and the moustache was also light yellow. She noticed that the officer's short moustache was light red, so she guessed that he was Yuwen, Yuan, or Li?
The guard of the sergeant explained in a low voice:
"In the past, Yuwen Jue fought with the emperor in court, not only refuted the emperor in terms of reason, but also overwhelmed the emperor in terms of momentum, and was killed. Later, Yuan Xin fought with the emperor in terms of morality, overwhelmed the emperor in terms of momentum, and was killed. There are only a few emperors in all dynasties who can understand the reason. You are very wise, it is no different to seek death; but you can move him with emotion.
The emperor is young and pays attention to feelings. You grit your teeth and kneel down for three days and three nights. It is best to let the sun faint from the sun, which is more than ten thousand times better than being generous and crying. Madam, you are full of grievances. You may be unable to suppress yourself when you see him. If you keep talking, the consequences will be unimaginable." After Li Bing, the Secretariat of the Secret Guard, he returned to the gate of Jianzhang Palace.
Cui thought about the words of the young ban official and thought it made sense. Although kneeling in the court was silent, it was better than saying something, and too much talk would lead to failure. If this is done, it would be impossible to achieve obvious results, but the situation would not worsen. The current situation should never worsen!
Thinking of this, Cui slowly walked to Gala and knelt with peace of mind. It was midsummer, with the scorching sun and the hot air of the courtyard made of bluestone slabs simmering. After Gala entered the palace in the early morning, he knelt with his sister for the whole morning, and was dragged to the sun at noon, and now he was sweating profusely.
Cui thought that it was so hot that it was just noon, but how could it survive the afternoon? Look at Gala next to him, it was already shaking at this moment and was about to faint the next moment. Cui shook Gala: "Gala, wake up! Wake up!" Gala wiped the sweat from his forehead and grinned at Cui.
Gala forced himself to cheer up, and could not lose, and if the mother and daughter could not hold on, Dugu Mingjing would really have no hope. Gala saw a few ants on the bluestone slabs struggling hard, but their direction was very clear, and they all crawled northward. Ten steps northwards were the corridor of Jianzhang Palace Official, which was a place where the sun could not shine.
Gala thought that the ant's eyes were not more than an inch, but he knew that the outside of the bare feet was a blessing in the world, and he went straight to the shade. Isn't the intelligence of this little creature shocking? But humans, who are known as the spirit of all things, forced themselves to suffer this torment under the poisonous sun, wouldn't it be a pity!
A eunuch walked out of the palace gate slowly and stared at Cui who was kneeling on the stone slab. She thought to herself: Could it be that the 22-year-old emperor was merciful and sent the eunuch out to summon him?
The eunuch greeted the guards next to the door:
"How many days does Li Lang return to Beijing?"
"It's been three days since I was back."
"Li Lang is young and is an imperial envoy. When he returns to Xiangguo, he will be enthroned by a daughter princess. Then Prince Zhao must be overjoyed and takes advantage of his actions..."
The Secret Guard interrupted unhappily: "Li Bing's lifelong ambition is not about treasure!"
The eunuch walked down the corridor for about ten steps, turned around and waved to the guard of Li's family ten times. When he approached, he asked mysteriously:
"So, do you care about the stunning girl?"
Li Bing was stunned and his brows frowned slightly.
"A few days after you went to Xiangguo, Your Majesty held a ceremony in Yanshou Hall. The ladies in the city gathered together, and it was a carnival. The sage sitting on the high platform suddenly stood up, pointing to a man's clothing girl in the crowd, and was extremely excited and said: That one! Hurry up, go find it..."
"So what..." Mr. Li looked at Cui, who was kneeling in the courtyard, and replied in a blanket.
"After the order, I finally found the stunning girl. It turned out that she came to the capital of Yecheng, the former capital of Qi, to find someone..."
"Who are you looking for?"
"She doesn't understand who she is looking for, but she showed a feather arrow with the font Li engraved on it. Question: There is a young lieutenant named Li in Kyoto. Three years ago, the eastward expedition to Yecheng, and the archery technique is very good..."
"That arrow is a white feathered arrow?"
"Not bad!"
"How do you answer her?"
"I said there was a Li Bing, a magical archer, and now he is a sergeant in the palace guard. Unfortunately, he has now gone to Xiangguo to be an imperial envoy!"
Li Bing was obviously excited, grabbed the eunuch's hand tightly, and asked anxiously: "Where is she...where is she now?"
How could the weak old eunuch withstood Li Bing's burden? He frowned and said, "After hearing what I said, she jumped out of the dragon's head channel. Although she tried every means to salvage it, there was no trace!"
Li Bing stood in a daze, and a pretty girl's face gradually appeared in front of her. He sighed inwardly: She came from Yecheng thousands of miles to Chang'an to look for it, but if she was destined, why did she come to Chang'an, but I went to Yecheng? It should be noted that Xiangguo is not far north of Yecheng!
"Father-in-law," Li Bing asked, "Do you think she is living or dead?"
"Hey! I can't see anyone in my life, and I can't see the corpse in my life... Do you think she will be the water god, the water god of Longshouqu..."
Li Bing looked at Mrs. Dugu who was kneeling in the courtyard and slowly calmed down. He asked the eunuch in a low voice:
"Your Majesty is still playing chess with Doctor Zheng?"
"Yes. It's so hard to solve... I have to go in!" The eunuch said as soon as he finished speaking, and he hurriedly entered the palace.
Li Bing looked at the poisonous sun in the sky and thought secretly: Empress Dugu has been kneeling in the bedroom for three days and three nights, and her mother Dugu has also baked the poisonous sun in the courtyard for half a day. Could it be that Yuwen Yu is still indifferent? Could it be that he is so serious about a few words of contradictory words? Is it because Yuwen Yu is suspicious of the forces of the Dugu family? If so, it will be a big deal. Alas, the Yang family is really at the critical moment of honor, disgrace, survival?
At this time, Yang Zhong, a doctor in the inner history, walked out of the palace slowly with a mud-gold fan. He was ashamed to see Dugu, who had been kneeling down the sun, as if he was not a classmate of Dugu Xin, and his eyes had never been in the courtyard, so he turned around and greeted Li Bing.
"Mr. Yuwen, what's the outcome in the morning?" Li Bing asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty... seems to be uneasy. The lower official won two games in a row. He changed his clothes and worked non-stop at noon. He asked the minister to accompany him to fight continuously..."
Li Bing was shocked when he heard this: Yuwen Yu lost two games in a row, and his emotions were probably getting worse and worse. Then... Isn't the Dugu mother and daughter a fragile game? He immediately asked Yang Zhong respectfully:
"But I wonder if you are having fun with Your Majesty, or are you really betting on the winner?"
Yang Zhong was stunned, and then a little uneasy, saying, "Of course I'm accompanying Your Majesty and making him happy..."
"So that's it! That adult will lose if he wins, and losing will win if he loses."
Yang Zhong pondered for a while, suddenly his eyes lit up, stared at Li Bing for a long time, and praised:
"People say that Li Lang has extraordinary knowledge, indeed!"
He threw down his words and turned back to the official."
Gala finally survived noon, but after the sky was already west, the sun seemed to be even more vicious. Gala was in a big steamer, and she was about to faint again and again, sweating profusely, and her clothes were wet inside and outside. Gala was in a trance and saw her father Duguxin walking towards her and smiled kindly at her...
Dugu Xin was a famous minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty and a founding father. During the days when the regimes of Wei and Zhou Dynasty changed, Yuwen Tai was the Grand Tutor, and his father Dugu Xin was his Zuo Fu You Bi, who wholeheartedly helped Yuwen Tai start a business.
At the beginning of his business, Yuwen Tai only had the land of Long. His father was the governor of the 11 states in Longyou. He was appointed as the Grand Sima and the General of the Pillar Kingdom. His father was beautiful and had a great strategy. It can be said that Dugu Xin's blood and sweat were everywhere in the thousands of miles of Northern Zhou. He never let down the Great Zhou and did not lose his trust.
His father's original name was Dugu Ruyuan. Because of his outstanding faith and righteousness, Yuwen Tai gave him the name Xin. Yuwen Tai died, and the powerful minister Yuwen Hu was in charge of the country. His father still had to fight with Yuwen Hu.
Then Gala saw a team of guards rushing into her house with a fierce domineering force. The envoy personally filled a glass of medicinal wine and forced his father to take the imperial examination. Gala saw that the first emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Xiaomin, was also poisoned. Gala saw her eldest brother-in-law Yuwen Yu ascended the throne, and her eldest sister was also enthroned as the queen.
Gala lay on the hot bluestone slab, and scenes flashed through her mind. Some of them had seen, some had not seen, some had happened, and some were foreseeable futures? Gala no longer knew how to think about it.
