Chapter 142: Father's Kindness and Son's Filial Piety
In the early spring of Chang'an, spring is everywhere.
Birds chirped crisply on the branches, and the buds were dotted with stars.
Naturally, the palace cannot be filled with flowers and trees, so the only green ones are clothes and hats.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince entered the palace today wearing green clothes.
"Have a good time studying." The emperor looked a little impatient.
"Yes, I'm resigning."
The prince bowed respectfully and raised his head, his eyes full of admiration.
Actors in later generations performed to earn money, while this actor performed to earn his life. The two have different starting points, so their acting skills are naturally very different.
Han Shitou sent the prince out.
"Ah, thank you for your hard work. Young Inspector Han needs to remind you from time to time." The prince patted Han Shitou on the shoulder very kindly.
Han Shitou bowed slightly and said, "Yes."
The prince said this carelessly, and he didn't think twice about it.
"Is there anyone outside, Mr. Han? Hey! I was confused and asked a taboo question casually." The prince smiled and said sincerely: "You have served Aye with all your heart, I am very grateful."
Can't speak clearly.
Han Shitou said calmly: "I don't dare."
The prince smiled and said: "Okay, okay."
Han Shitou watched the prince go away, then turned around and entered the palace.
The emperor sat there seemingly distracted.
But Han Shitou reported respectfully: "His Royal Highness is concerned about His Majesty's health, and ordered the slave to remind His Majesty from time to time. His Highness also asked the slave if he has any family members outside the palace."
"Um."
The emperor snorted softly, but that was not what he was talking about. "I heard that Mr. He was cheated last night?"
"yes."
"If flooding occurs in Chang'an City, it will be a big deal if it spreads."
"yes."
The emperor stood up and said, "I'm going to the Liyuan to report something."
"yes."
Han Shitou did not follow, but stayed in place until he saw the emperor disappearing from sight, then he said calmly: "Let the king guard the palace."
The one-eyed dragon walked slowly in the palace, no one dared to look at him.
When he saw Han Shitou, he was looking at the rising sun.
The morning sun shines slantingly on the cornices, sliding down and entering the hall.
A ray of light shone on Han Shitou's shoulder.
Somewhat lonely.
"Shaojian Han."
Han Shitou looked sideways at him.
"Last night, Mr. He got into trouble."
"right."
However, there must be fifty if not hundreds of floods in Chang'an City every year.
Wang Shou knew that these words represented the emperor, so he bowed his head slightly.
"There are many noble people in Chang'an City. What if the fire spreads? He, you are too careless."
"Yes, but what about?"
The mirror is a dog kept by the emperor. Now when the emperor is angry, it is time to bite him.
"He Jincheng is an important minister after all. It would not be good if he was beaten."
Wang Shou nodded, "Do you have any more instructions?"
Han Shitou shook his head, "Go on your own."
Wang Shou then looked up at him, narrowed his eyes and said, "Your Majesty is in the Liyuan."
"Um!"
"Can you compose music?"
As someone close to the emperor, such a position attracted countless people in the palace. But Han Shitou did it very steadily and did not give others a chance.
Wang Shou was in charge of the mirror and was extremely powerful, but his power hit a wall here with Han Shitou.
If a chamberlain is too cool to be a real man, he will naturally have to fall in love with someone else and spend his thoughts on other things, such as power.
This is a mockery of Han Shitou's original status as emperor, but now the emperor spends all day in the pear garden, and Han Shitou's power has also become invisible in the pear garden.
Han Shitou did not comment, and then went to the Liyuan. When he entered, he found his confidant and said softly: "The roads in the palace are slippery today. Let the people in the mirror be careful."
The confidant nodded, "I understand."
"Also, the prince made some probing moves earlier, and your majesty is in some trouble."
"yes."
The emperor stole the prince's concubine, and that concubine is now the emperor's favorite...
What will happen if the imperial concubine sees the prince?
Isn't this my ex-husband?
But this ex-husband is now my nominal son.
The emperor saw the prince. Isn't he the concubine's ex-husband?
Isn’t this so annoying?
What does the emperor want to do most?
Everyone in the palace had an intuition that the emperor most likely wanted to kill the prince so that he and his concubine could live together and never see the person who made them resentful again.
But the prince is as honest as a quail, and the emperor can't do anything!
Han Shitou watched his confidant leave quietly,
There was no one around him.
So he said softly: "Fathers must be kind and sons must be filial."
Immediately the news was conveyed.
The people in the mirror stared at the former court. Later, as usual, someone came into the palace to report the news.
While passing through a palace gate, this man bumped into two palace attendants, and then they had a quarrel, argued, and almost got into a fight.
In the opera garden, the imperial concubine was lazily leaning on the couch, and the emperor was sitting on the other side, looking at the music score with concentration, frowning from time to time.
Musicians and kabuki were waiting nearby, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.
After a long time, the emperor raised his head and said with a smile: "Change it here to make it more natural."
Then they practiced the music, and the imperial concubine praised: "Erlang's composition is indeed exquisite."
The emperor put down the musical instrument in his hand and said proudly: "The only person in the world who can listen to my composition is Hongyan."
The musicians and kabuki looked calm.
The waiters looked quiet.
As if he was just a puppet.
The emperor moved his neck comfortably and asked, "Is there anything going on outside the court?"
Han Shitou hesitated for a moment.
The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly.
I tapped the music score lightly with the index and middle fingers of my right hand.
Han Shitou lowered his head and said: "The news about the mirror has not arrived yet."
The emperor said calmly: "Wang Shou is also domineering. I will punish you with the rod."
Han Shitou's body trembled slightly, "Yes."
Han Shitou went out.
The emperor put the music score on the desk, and someone came over to massage his shoulders and neck.
"Is Han Shitou afraid of Wang Shou's power, or does he want to be a good man?"
The imperial concubine covered her mouth and chuckled, "Han Shitou is alone, what is he doing as a good man? How can he protect his descendants?"
The emperor smiled, "Yes, that's because he is afraid of Wang Shou's power. That vicious dog has been a bit domineering recently, so it's time to clean it up."
The imperial concubine smiled sweetly and said, "Erlang, the tune just now was very exquisite. Maybe there is a song?"
The emperor gently held her round shoulders and said, "If the geese want it, it will come naturally."
…
Wang Shou returned to the mirror and said to his confidants: "The father-in-law has been acting very arrogantly recently. Some of his subordinates are jumping up and down. This is great. Your Majesty can't deal with the father-in-law, so he used He Jincheng, the dog raised by the father-in-law, to beat him."
.”
The confidant said: "Just scold him according to reason."
"Yes!" Wang Shou said suspiciously, "But Han Shitou meant to punish He Jincheng's son. Then He Huan is just a wild dog, why punish him?"
A confidant said: "Could it be Han Shitou venting his personal anger?"
"Han Shitou has no contact with the He family." Wang Shou touched his blindfold, "But this matter... How about we test it with His Majesty. If Han Shitou vents his personal anger, then he will be guilty."
The confidant said: "Then He's side..."
Wang Shou stood up and said, "Let's go into the palace and try it now."
He dreamed of unseating Han Shitou. Once Han Shitou fell, he had friendships with several of his possible successors.
When the time comes to take charge of the mirror outside, someone in the palace will deliver the news...the power is as stable as a mountain.
That one eye was filled with heat.
"Where is Wang Shou?"
A few waiters came in outside.
They are all big-bodied and round-waisted.
Wang Shou stood up and came out. After seeing a few chamberlains, his heart skipped a beat and he saluted, "We are here."
The leading chamberlain smiled and said, "We are the people around His Majesty, and we do everything according to His Majesty's will. I think you won't be surprised, right?"
These people are the executioners in the palace. Who will they deal with when they come to the mirror?
Wang Shou and others all laughed, their laughter was extremely unnatural.
"Don't dare."
If these chamberlains were to be judged according to their rank, they could only kneel down and call them daddy in front of Wang Shou. But at this moment, Wang Shou was too respectful to call them daddy.
The leading chamberlain suddenly changed his face and shouted: "Your Majesty's order."
Wang Shou led others to kneel down.
Zhao Sanfu is also among them.
"Wang Shou is domineering, and the rod will punish him!"
"yes!"
Someone brought a bench, and Wang Shou lay down on it and was immediately tied up.
I was tied up not because I was afraid that he would run away, but because I was worried that he would not be able to bear the severe pain and his body would slip.
Zhao Sanfu went over and handed the cork to Wang Shou's mouth, "Prison gate."
Wang Shou looked up and saw anger and worry hidden in Zhao Sanfu's eyes, so he smiled.
"Do it!" the chamberlain shouted.
Snapped!
"Um!"
Wang Shou bit the cork and his face turned red.
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
After finishing the ten sticks, the chamberlain nodded and said, "I will return to the palace to resume my duties. If I have offended anything, please forgive me."
Wang Shou's face turned livid. He was helped up by Zhao Sanfu and another person, and he saluted forcefully, "We are only loyal, so please report back to Your Majesty."
The chamberlain nodded, "Being loyal to Your Majesty is a blessing."
After they left, Wang Shou said sternly: "Here comes someone!"
Zhao Sanfu and others shouted: "Here."
Wang Shou's eyes turned.
Everyone held their heads high.
The Wang Prison Sect is about to take action, and whoever he chooses at this time will be his confidant.
"Zhao Sanfu!"
Xin Quan glanced at Zhao Sanfu, his eyes calm.
"You take a group of brothers to the He family and punish He Huan with twenty sticks."
"Take your orders!"
This was a job that offended four members of the family, but Zhao Sanfu agreed to it very simply.
There was a hint of appreciation in Wang Shou's eyes.
Zhao Sanfu rushed out of the stage with a team of people.
After leaving the palace, he immediately mounted his horse.
After arriving at He's house, the door was closed.
"Call the door!"
A stake came forward and shouted, "Mirror desk is doing business, open the door!"
Kasuri Mianmian happened to be sleeping, and Menzi was probably sleepy, so he shouted: "You bitch, it's so noisy!"
The mirror is a dog.
But who dares to say this in front of people on stage?
Of course Yang Songcheng and others could do it, but they wouldn't say it because there was no need to offend the emperor for it.
A door!
Still a disciple of the He family!
Everyone turned around and looked at Zhao Sanfu.
Zhao Sanfu was silent.
Squeak!
The side door opens slowly!
Zhao Sanfu stepped forward.
One kick!
Boom!
Menzi flew in upside down, vomited a few mouthfuls of blood when he landed, and shouted: "Here comes someone!"
A group of guards rushed over aggressively.
Zhao Sanfu stood inside the door, legs spread apart, eyes cold.
"Where is the joy?"
He Huan is here.
He was shocked when he saw Zhao Sanfu, but still calmly asked: "What's the matter?"
"Take it!"
Several stakes rushed forward, and the guards stood in front of He Huan.
The two sides were at war with each other.
Zheng!
The horizontal sword was half-pulled out of the scabbard, and as the sword flashed, Zhao Sanfu said: "Ten breaths! If you don't retreat, kill!"
It didn't take ten breaths. After five breaths, He Huan took the initiative to come out.
"What am I guilty of?"
"Someone in the He family set a fire last night, which almost caused a catastrophe. I order you to punish me with a rod!"
Last night... there was a fire last night. Was there any arson?
Just as He Huan was about to argue, Zhao Sanfu stepped forward and punched him hard on his soft abdomen.
He Huan bent down and looked at Zhao Sanfu with a gasp.
"You and I... have no grudges or grudges."
Zhao Sanfu said calmly: "I'm doing official business, so be good!"
Wang Shou ordered him to come to the He family to beat He Huan. This is a test - do you dare to offend the He family? He must show his decisiveness and responsibility, even if Wang Shou recognizes that this decisiveness and responsibility is to please himself. For promotion.
Several piles came up slowly.
Zhao Sanfu shouted: "What are you waiting for? Take action!"
He Huan's skin and flesh were torn apart after being beaten with twenty sticks, and the woman in the backyard howled after hearing the news. They sent people to call for He Jincheng, and then called for famous doctors.
Zhao Sanfu walked out of the He family's door.
There was a stake next to him and asked: "Why did the master need to punch He Huan when he was offended for nothing."
But if you don't offend him, how can you please Wang Shou?
Zhao Sanfu thought of Yan Cheng.
And that boy!
Dog said, Yang Xuan hasn't returned to Chang'an for a long time.
He glanced north.
…
late at night.
Outside King Wei's bedroom.
A dark shadow quietly appeared in front of the window.
He held a flying knife in his right hand and pushed it away with his left hand.
Boom!
The window shattered and a flying knife was shot in.
King Wei on the bed flew upwards, and the flying knife missed.
As soon as he stepped down, the remaining frame of the window that King Wei had smashed flew out.
Black shadows flew rapidly ahead.
"who?"
The night guard heard the noise and came over.
King Wei flew away.
Just when the black shadow was about to cross the wall, he felt a shadow on his head. He looked up and saw that King Wei was falling rapidly.
The black shadow laughed miserably and wiped his neck with the knife without hesitation.
The guard came over, uncovered the cloth covering the shadow's face, and exclaimed, "It's Wu Shun!"
"Check your accomplices!"
There was great chaos in the mansion.
"Your Majesty, nothing was found."
King Wei went back and took the flying knife that was thrown on his bed, sniffed it, and then asked Wu Shun's horizontal knife to be sniffed, with a gloomy look on his face.
"Bring Wang San's horizontal sword."
There is no smell on Wang San's horizontal knife.
"Wu Shun!" King Wei's eyes were cold.
"Wang San can't survive!"
"Call the doctor."
There was a lot of noise next door at night, so Yang Xuan turned over with the quilt under his arms.
"Your Majesty, I wonder where the doctor is."
King Wei went to visit Wang San with a horizontal knife in hand. Looking at the rotten wound on Wang San's arm, murderous intent burst out in his eyes.
"Who knows?"
"Next door." Huang Ping yawned.
"Call someone!"
"Boom boom boom!"
The door of the county house was knocked loudly.
Screaming and cursing came from Yue Er's house diagonally opposite.
"Your mother is screaming at night!"
Immediately, all kinds of obscene remarks were spewed out, centered on the county.
These people were self-taught in swearing and swearing. The eighteen generations of Huangping ancestors who knocked on the door instantly became scum, and the women in the family also suffered bad luck.
Huang Ping was furious. He wanted to rant as soon as the door opened.
Standing inside the door was Zhen Siwen. He had gotten angry recently and yawned so hard that he almost sent Huang Ping away.
"Where is the doctor?"
"Go east, take the two alleys and turn right. The third house is right there."
Chen Huagu was called.
King Wei sat on the steps drinking.
Inside the room was the dying Wang San and several guards guarding him.
"Cure him and he will be rewarded generously."
King Wei said briefly.
Chen Huagu was overjoyed and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured."
He hurried in, and behind him, King Wei said: "If we can't cure it, we will die together."
Chen Huagu trembled.
He went in and saw Wang San's appearance, then looked at the wound, and was stunned.
"This is a bad wound."
"Possibly saved?"
Chen Huagu wanted to say no.
"Hard to say."
Huang Ping frowned, "Wang San's injury was treated by you, why is a small wound like this?"
"I don't know, but it's quite common for people to die from trauma. At least 20% of them die from bad wounds."
Huang Ping stared at him and said coldly, "No, what did you say that day that everyone was treating their wounds? Why was the other person okay?"
A guard standing by the bed caught Huang Ping's look and said, "Wu Shun looked very lively during dinner."
"That means the wound has scabbed over and there is no redness or swelling." Chen Huagu felt that he was going to be unlucky.
Huang Ping looked at Chen Huagu and said sternly: "Why is one person good and one person bad?"
Chen Huagu was confused and said subconsciously: "He was a wound that I treated according to the instructions of the Ming Palace. The wound on the bed was treated by me according to my usual method."
His heart jumped suddenly and he said blankly: "No, I have been specializing in treating trauma for more than 20 years. My experience is probably rare in northern Xinjiang. I have seen countless people with fever due to trauma, and even the fever is not like this.
He is about to die, the wound rotted too quickly!"
Huang Ping went out, leaned over and whispered to King Wei who was sitting on the steps: "This man has been in Taiping for many years and should have nothing to do with the assassination, but he needs to be watched for a while."
The poison was applied on the knife edge and had nothing to do with Chen Huagu's medicine.
"Get Yang Xuan!"
Yang Xuan was brought here at night, and he was still angry when he got up. When he saw Queen Wei sitting on the steps drinking, he was gone.
The eldest nephew is murderous.
"Since you know medical skills, why didn't you save Shang Jue?"
"He died immediately."
Yang Xuan felt that his eldest nephew was not so mentally retarded.
King Wei suddenly threw a horizontal knife over.
"This is the knife that Wu Shun used to hurt Wang San during the sparring. The blade was poisonous. Just before, he stabbed me with a flying knife that was as poisonous as this horizontal knife."
"My cultivation is so advanced that it is difficult for them to get close to me. So I chose to assassinate you late at night. I actually used Wang San to test the effectiveness of the poison first... rat!"
Yang Xuan's heart skipped a beat, "What about Wu Shun?"
