General Essence Sticky Essence

Two days later, He Yun and He Lian arrived in Beijing, Xie Xuan specially prepared new clothes for them, and personally escorted them to the gate of the prison.

Xie Xuan reached out and brushed He Lian's collar, and said, "You are the sons of the general's mansion, so don't lose face no matter where you are."

"Brother Zichen..."

"Don't be afraid, Lan Tian, ​​you are an older child, follow your second brother closely, don't think too much." Xie Xuan touched He Lian's head, then turned his head to He Yun and said, "Mingxian... you, trust me .”

"Well! Of course I believe you."

Xie Xuan nodded in satisfaction, and said "kindly" to the jailer who had been waiting for a long time: "I will ask my brothers to take care of my two younger brothers. If the clothes are dirty or damaged, they must be held accountable.”

The jailers didn't dare to be negligent, and sent the two of them in as if they were serving their ancestors, and arranged them in the same cell very considerately.

And Xie Xuan got into the carriage and drove back to the palace.The servants of the palace hadn't seen their lord for a long time, and they were pleasantly surprised: "My lord! You're back!"

Xie Xuan smiled slightly: "Prepare the court clothes, I want to enter the palace to face the saint."

The fox pretends to be a tiger, and wants to change the sky of Jinyang City. Is it true that there is no one in the court?

However, in a few days, the old emperor had become emaciated, his face was sunken like a skeleton, only a pair of eyes popped out abruptly, there was no light in his eyes, they were very chaotic.If it is motionless, it even looks like a scary mummy.

Uncle Zhang Guo stood on one side, while Empress Zhang and the second prince Xie Chu knelt in front of the couch, weeping and crying. The whole family cried and mourned ahead of time, for some unknown reason.

The old emperor was physically weak, but his mind was still very clear, and he suddenly felt upset.At this time, the eunuch in charge came to report, and King Anyuan had an audience.

Empress Zhang and Uncle Zhang Guo looked at each other with disgust in their eyes, and they were about to stop them.The emperor suddenly said: "Let him... come in, you... retreat." The three retreated reluctantly, Xie Xuan walked face to face with the three in front of the door, and had no intention of doing something useless with them The gift, turning a blind eye, turned around and closed the door.Empress Zhang immediately turned pale with shock: "This King Anyuan is so rude!" Zhang Siyuan squinted his eyes and said nothing.

The moment the old emperor saw Xie Xuan, he didn't know where the strength came from, and stretched out his dry hand to him excitedly.Xie Xuan's heart was a little moved, and he still squatted over, but didn't reach out to hold it.

The old emperor didn't notice anything unusual, and said, "Zi Chen, the last time I saw you was a few months ago, and you were here too."

"Ah."

"I sent you to the northwest, do you blame me?"

"The minister is the one who asked for his order to go to the northwest, so how could he blame His Majesty?"

"Zichen, you should understand my worries, I..."

"Your Majesty understands that it is your fault that His Majesty does not want to trust you."

"Zichen... I have nothing to explain now, I just want to ask you, after I leave, are you willing to assist the emperor and bless me... Great Wei?"

Xie Xuan raised his eyes to look at the dying old man, the wrinkles on his face had become ravines, as if he had been cut by the wind and sand in the northwest.He averted his eyes and said, "I don't want to."

The emperor opened his eyes wide and stared blankly for a long time before he said, "Is it possible..."

"Your Majesty has misunderstood. I have no intention of meddling in the country, so I will not compete with Your Highness."

He hesitated for a moment, then said: "I have the courage to ask Your Majesty a few questions."

The emperor did not speak, it was a tacit consent.

"Great Sima Li Xie once tried to bribe the imperial physician to poison the old general He Ting, does your Majesty know?"

Hearing the words, the old emperor was stunned for a moment, but at this moment, Xie Xuan already understood.

He went on to say: "Such a crime is so heinous that ten thousand death is still light, why did it go away so hastily? Why is Li Xie still in the court hall fighting the wind and drinking the rain?"

The old emperor stared at Xie Xuan, as if he couldn't believe it: "When did you... know?"

Xie Xuan didn't answer, but continued to ask: "I would like to ask again, whether the uncle of the current dynasty had evil intentions, killed King Anyang, blamed the Chifeng clan, and took away the silver tiger talisman, did he get the Holy Majesty's order?"

He snorted softly: "Oh, I forgot, isn't the Silver Tiger Talisman at His Majesty's side right now? Your Majesty has always been wise, so how could he be bullied by Uncle Guo?"

"Zichen... You know, the master is overwhelmed by his merits, and his faults are not as good as it is."

"I should understand that everyone is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying jade. General He and King Anyang galloped on the battlefield, spent half their lives as soldiers and horses, and worked hard to guard the great Wei rivers and mountains, but they should never hold the gold and silver tiger talisman. The merit is not high. You should cover the Lord, so isn't He Qing today a sin that cannot be punished, and he is in prison right now?"

"Zi Chen!"

Xie Xuan felt depressed, met the old emperor's gaze, and had some difficulty opening his mouth again: "Uncle, once a person becomes a king, will he change?"

The old emperor seemed to be stunned for a moment by this uncle's call, and there was a trace of kindness in his eyes, mixed with great helplessness.

"Zichen, it's not that people's hearts will change, but that they dare not change. In a high position, I can't rely on any feelings, and I can only trust myself."

"You just watched them kill my father, your own brother, but just ignore it because of a monarch?" Xie Xuan's lips trembled slightly, "Or, this is what you want Thoughts? It’s just that you don’t do it yourself, so you can pretend that you don’t know?”

The old emperor sighed: "This man, you can't lie. If you deceive yourself and others in the end, you will also be deceived by yourself. I had the best relationship with your father when I was young, and I don't want to admit it in the end. He died indirectly at my hands." inside."

"But my father has been stationed in the northwest for decades, and he has never made a single move. He dedicated his whole life to Wei, but can't he get a little trust from the monarch?"

"Zi Chen," the old emperor stared into Xie Xuan's eyes, "There have been too many self-respecting soldiers since ancient times, and I have to guard against them."

Xie Xuan stood up slowly, suppressing any emotion, only feeling ironic.He said: "Your Majesty, I understand."

The dying emperor's eyes followed Xie Xuan's face, and he was silent for a while before saying, "Zichen, the great Wei is also your root, the emperor is not sensible, I just beg you to help him protect this river and mountain."

Xie Xuan was condescending, and said word by word: "Li Xie tried to murder the old general He Ting in the past, and today he is harming the great general He Qing. His plan is wrong, and he should be punished."

"The eldest prince, Xie Lin, has a pure heart and is diligent and motivated. He is established as the crown prince and will choose a day to ascend the throne."

"General He Qing was reinstated and regained his command of the Golden Tiger Talisman."

"As for the silver tiger talisman, I will take care of it on my behalf. I will keep myself safe and secure. I will be the new emperor's saddle, and the great Wei's death."

"Zichen, you! Cough, cough, cough..."

Xie Xuan leaned down slightly, and said softly: "Your Majesty, you know that Donghu annexed Huajue and Turan recently."

The emperor didn't know what Xie Xuan meant, so he didn't make a sound.Xie Xuan smiled lightly and said, "Yangtamuzhuo is my man. If I think about it, the entire northwest frontier will be available to me. I hope your majesty will think twice."

The old emperor stared at Xie Xuan for a long time, thinking that driving away Xie Xuan was to be wary of him, but unexpectedly he let the tiger go back to the mountain.He heaved a long sigh and said, "Send my edict..."

"Your Majesty is wise, the Great Wei will be able to last forever." Xie Xuan got up and bowed, "May my emperor enjoy peace and happiness forever, and I will retire."

As soon as Xie Xuan stepped out of the palace gate, the prosperous king of the Wei Dynasty ascended to bliss before he could enjoy eternal happiness.

Afraid of the majesty of King Anyuan, the cell that the jailer arranged for He Yun and the others was not bad. The sunlight shone through the small window on the mattress made of straw. He Yun and He Lian sat Up there, it didn't feel cold.

Before the jailer left, He Yun asked, "Brother jailer, where is my elder brother?"

The jailer opened his mouth nervously, his eyes rolled back and forth, and he faltered for a long time before saying, "The little...the little one...don't know."

He Yun had a bright mind, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked: "Where's my elder brother! Tell the truth!"

Before the jailer could speak, a questioning voice suddenly came from the cell next to him: "Ah Yun?"

He Yun and He Lian rushed over: "Sister-in-law?"

Seeing that the young master's attention was distracted, the jailer let out a sigh of relief, locked the door and hurried away.

Chen Xiu said through the wall: "Are you also here?"

He Yun: "Big Brother Zichen sent us here, where is Big Brother?"

Since Zi Chen sent the man to the big prison, he must have a way to save him. Chen Xiu was relieved a lot, but her brows were still frowned. After He Qing was taken away, he never came back. Chen Xiu had no idea that Li took him there. Where, could it be that punishment was used?

"Sister-in-law? Sister-in-law?"

"Huh?" Chen Xiu came back to her senses, "Your eldest brother was taken away the day before yesterday, and I don't know where he went."

"What! Brother..."

"It's okay, don't be afraid."

He Yun looked at He Lian, who was looking anxious, and thought to himself, He Mingxian, He Mingxian, a child and a woman are here now, you don't need to panic as a handsome seven-foot man.He forced himself to calm down, patted He Lian on the shoulder, and said to Chen Xiu: "Sister-in-law, don't be afraid, Brother Zichen will rescue us soon."

After He Qing was taken away from the cell, he couldn't go back.This person, Li Xie, has always been frustrated, and always feels that the He family has robbed him of his limelight and blocked his way.In He Qing's view, this kind of mentality is no different from a neurosis.He didn't know what kind of madness Li Xi was smoking, so he took He Qing to the execution room and whipped him a few times.

He Qing's tattered body had carried a knife and a gun, and he had only been whipped a few months ago.He endured these blows in the torture room without making a sound, not even showing Li Xie a drop of sweat.Li Xie probably felt that it was not enough, so he took He Qing, who was still bleeding, directly to the water dungeon, and soaked in the water for two days and one night. Can't smell it anymore.

Not only that, but he would come to the water prison every day to greet him, which made He Qing dizzy and nauseated.On the second night in the water dungeon, Li Xie left in a hurry after receiving some unknown news.He Qing rolled his huge eyes with the remaining strength, and finally said in his heart that he's gone, if I didn't have no strength, I would choke you to death!

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a cockroach floating on the surface of the water at shoulder height, to be precise, it was a dead cockroach, and the dead cockroach was floating in front of He Qing's eyes. Qing Lian kept shrinking her neck back, but her whole body was tied to the wall behind her, and she couldn't move at all.The dignified General He stared at the dead cockroach like this, and was a little more nervous than commanding thousands of troops on the battlefield. He swallowed several times before realizing that his throat was burning.

There is no way, the He family's fear of insects is brought out from the mother's womb, all the boys of the He family are afraid of insects.

The author has something to say:

I only stayed for four days. Zichen went from Jinyang to Daxibei to Jinyang to Daxibei, and then returned to Jinyang. . .Too busy. . .

Don't worry, I won't leave this time
