This time Han You stayed in the palace for a long time, more than an hour.
I chatted a lot with Lao Ba, wherever I thought.
Talk about the East China Sea, talk about Japanese thieves, and talk about Lanshan Academy.
Talk about Jingzhong, talk about Shilin, talk about Imperial College.
Talk about Yongcheng, talk about Nanguan, talk about opening up territory.
We talked about government affairs, personal matters, children's education, and children's marriage. Sometimes we laughed, and sometimes we frowned.
In the end, Han You was listening, and Lao Ba was telling the story. It was the first time in so many years that he told people about his tragic childhood experience.
Because of the so-called hexagram, Lao Ba suffered a lot of injustice and harshness from the Zhou family since he was a child. After he got to the army, even if he risked his life to kill thieves, his family would take away the credit and give it to other children.
Lao Ba never mentioned the pain and grievances during this period in detail to others. Especially when he mentioned the hexagram, he laughed at himself repeatedly. The hexagram was very accurate. The Zhou family did die because of him, but if there was no such hexagram, Xiang, I think the Zhou family will definitely train him and take good care of him. It can only be said that every drink and every peck is a sure thing.
The emperor kept talking, until Han You yawned for the seventh time and wanted to resign and leave the palace, then Lao Ba let him go and personally took Han You out of the palace with the civil and military officers.
After seeing Han You get on the horse and disappear into the moonlight, Lao Ba turned around and walked back, with his hands behind his back, the smile on his face completely disappeared.
Wenwu who are familiar with Lao Ba know that Lao Ba is not only Lao Ba, but also the emperor. In front of Han You, he is Lao Ba, and in front of others, he is the emperor. What is the emperor? The power of the emperor is unpredictable!
Lao Ba, dressed in casual clothes, walked towards Qingning Palace. The maid at the door quickly bowed and saluted, and the young eunuch ran in to inform Concubine Chen.
Concubine Chen has been uneasy since she learned that Han You entered the palace. When she saw the emperor coming, she was overjoyed and thought that Lao Ba would stay at Qingning Palace tonight.
Concubine Chen, who just ran out with a charming smile on her face, felt a thump in her heart.
The emperor was standing on the steps, and seven people were kneeling outside Qingning Palace. They were all her confidants and confidants.
"Your Majesty, what are you going to do tonight..."
The courageous Concubine Chen's heart was pounding. After all, she was an old married couple. How could she not know what Old Ba Longyan would look like when he was furious.
"Han You has returned to Beijing, does Concubine Chen know?"
Lao Ba held his hands behind his back and seemed to be smiling.
"Yes, I don't know if the Commander-in-Chief has returned to Beijing."
"Don't you know?"
Lao Ba came up behind a middle-aged eunuch with his hands behind his back: "Didn't Chen Fang tell you? This old slave has been out of the palace all day long to inquire about news, and has sent letters to you and Chen Yongzhi. Even Han You didn't tell you when he returned to Kyoto. ?”
The old eunuch who was kneeling on the ground was trembling. Just when he was about to speak, the emperor stretched out his hand, and the civil and military servants handed over a simple dagger.
With a scream, Concubine Chen turned pale.
Blood was sprayed all over the ground. After the old eunuch cut the old eunuch's throat without looking away, his expression remained unchanged: "You are a mother, and a mother is as valuable as her son. I know that. Why don't I want to have a mother like you?" The matter is planned by me, but my family is full of ruthless people. Even my own mother wishes that I would die without a burial place. I understand your painstaking efforts, and I don’t want to argue with you about my views as a woman. , but you should never tell Dongfangjian about Han Bairen. In order to make Dongfangjian throw dirty water on Han You in the Shilin, you actually said that Han Bairen wanted to support his troops in Nanguan."
Blood spattered again, and a palace maid fell to the ground, clutching her throat, her eyes widened.
"Her name is Hua'er, right? Why would a slave give such a bad idea to her master? Since she was born in the Southland, she should know how much Han Bairen loved soldiers and sons in the Southland back then. She did such a thing just to please you. It was a bad idea, extremely vicious, and you deserve to die."
Concubine Chen's body had already gone limp and collapsed on the ground. Looking at the two corpses lying in a pool of blood, her body could not restrain herself from trembling.
The maids and eunuchs of Qingning Palace all pressed their faces to the ground and shivered. Two eunuchs leaked urine and fainted from fear.
Wenwu stood with his hands down, as quiet as a dead corpse.
Who could have known that this huge underground palace was covered with spider webs, and that all the silk threads were woven by people, and all the disturbances could not be concealed from the big spider entrenched in the middle of the spider web.
This big spider is not the emperor, but civil and military officials!
"It's better to faint. It will save you the pain."
Lao Ba bent down and grabbed the hair of a fainted eunuch. After lifting it up, he looked at Concubine Chen calmly: "My slave has become your slave, Concubine Chen. Concubine De has never hurt you. , it would be better for you to let this old slave bribe the maids in Concubine De's palace, not to mention that he also wants to make up some shameless things to slander Concubine De and make a living in the palace, how can he be so vicious in his heart."
With a "puff" sound, the knife pierced the old eunuch's chest.
Blood sprayed all over Concubine Chen's face, and Lao Ba walked over step by step.
"You want your third son to be the crown prince, you want your Chen family to be prosperous for thousands of years, and you want to be the master of the harem. It's inevitable. Except for that idiot Han You, who in the world can have no ambitions and who doesn't want to fight for power? But there is only this fool around me. Concubine Chen, you want to harm no one, but you want to harm the only fool beside me. I have already lost one Wen Yong, don’t you want me to lose another Han You? , are you willing to see me live alone?"
Squatting on the ground, Lao Ba showed a stern smile and put the dagger on Concubine Chen's beautiful face.
Concubine Chen was so frightened that she knelt down on the ground in a state of embarrassment. Just as she was begging for mercy, she looked at Lao Ba's cold eyes and swallowed her words back.
The emperor wiped the blood on the dagger with Concubine Chen's face: "I just asked Han You if I wanted to execute you. Forget it, once and for all, Han You said, you are the mother of the third child after all. What if the third child will hate me in the future? Is it better to listen and listen to what others say until the deeper meaning is revealed?"
"I... I know it, I know it, Han You... Commander Han is generous and doesn't care about me."
Concubine Chen, whose face was full of tears, closed her eyes tightly, fearing that a sharp dagger would slice through her throat.
"Stupid, incredibly stupid. It's not that Han You doesn't care about you, it's that he has never taken you seriously from the beginning to the end. Do you know why? Because he trusts me, because he knows that he will not let you be a bitch. , let anyone harm him, how can I let him down?"
The emperor finally threw the life-threatening dagger back to Wenwu, stood up, and looked down with his hands behind his back.
"Don't be afraid, I will really kill you. The third child is your biological flesh and blood after all, but you must not forget that there are many things in this world that are more terrifying than death. Concubine Chen, you don't want to experience it yourself. Yes, civil and military."
"The old slave is here."
"Concubine Chen was demoted to a concubine and expelled from Ningqing Palace. She lived in Nuanyang Palace for three years and cut off her daily expenses. Only two maids were left in Nuanyang Palace. She informed the other concubines in the palace that the nobles would always be there and promised not to use them. As a courtesy, when King Zhao comes to see her in the palace, he must first inform the eunuchs. He can only enter the palace once a month. His personal maids are not allowed to leave the palace without any reason. The purchase expenses will be arranged by Concubine De, and the tributes from the palace do not need to be brought to Nuanyang Palace."
"Old slave, take note."
Lao Ba snorted heavily and said coldly: "The lives of these three people were lost because of you. If so, you must bury them with your own hands. Don't leave even a handful of earth to outsiders."
After finishing speaking, Lao Ba left with Wen Wu with his hands behind his back.
When Lao Ba disappeared into the moonlight, Concubine Chen collapsed and fell to the ground, breathing heavily.
"People are always dissatisfied, always so dissatisfied."
There was no trace of blood on the emperor's body as he stepped forward, and his eyes were gloomy: "My ministers are like this, my concubines are like this, and everyone in the world is like this. If everyone in the world is like Han You, like your brother Wen Yong, why should I take away people?" life."
"What Your Majesty said is that everyone in the world is short-sighted. You only have what you give. If you don't want to give, you have to fight for it with your life. In the end, you will lose your life."
"That's wrong."
Lao Ba suddenly became happy: "That's not the case with Han You. I want to give it to you, but he doesn't want it. There's nothing I can do about it, hahahaha."
Wenwu: "..."
