In the house, Wang Tianqi was sitting on his knees, holding medicine and carefully feeding his wife.
His wife was lying on the bed, her hands twitching and she could only utter indistinct words.
Three years ago, my wife accidentally fell down while doing housework, and she became like this now. She was unable to speak, and her body was semi-paralyzed. She no longer had the burly figure she used to have, and she became even thinner. Wang Tianqi had seen many famous doctors.
, but there was nothing they could do. They all said it was a head injury and a stroke that could not be cured.
Wang Tianqi began to take care of his wife personally. He was not sure about letting his servants take care of her.
For three whole years, he has been personally taking care of his wife, doing everything from eating, feeding, medicine to excretion.
Because of his wife's strength, Wang Tianqi never took any concubines, and now that his wife has fallen, he still doesn't take any concubines.
Mrs. Wang twitched and made indistinct strange screams.
None of the servants or the children at home knew what the lady was talking about, but Wang Tianqi understood it, and he could even talk to her.
"I understand. I'll go eat after I feed you. You take the medicine first."
"Forget it. At this age, why do you still have a concubine? The children are already so old and it's not like there is no one to take care of them at home. No need to say more."
The attendant was unable to answer immediately, but Wang Tianqi continued to move forward.
He did not stop, but directly asked people to drive to the palace gate next door facing Changle Palace. There were much fewer soldiers here, and there were not many people gathering. After all, the ministers never entered from here. Wang Tianqi stopped the people.
Then he walked towards the soldiers, saluted them, and said, "I'm here to pay homage to the Queen Mother."
"Your Majesty didn't say anything. He just asked Marquis Jiancheng to lead the soldiers to imprison the two of them. No one was allowed to visit the prison. He said that he would be beheaded and abandoned in three days."
Luan Bu was the first to react and hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Wang Tianqi's arm, "Your Majesty!!"
"Although Chao Cuo is eager for fame, he has followed you for more than ten years, how could he not know your character? His ambition has not yet been realized, how could he easily say such words to end his life? As for Shen Tujia, this is
Although he hates Chao Cuo and is irascible and unintelligent, he is from a military background, from a soldier to a nine-level minister, and is quite convinced by others. How can he be the person who falsely accuses others?"
"So the prince is willing to take the initiative to do this?"
"Madam, I remember when we first met, you gave me wheat rice, but it was not as delicious as the one you made."
"What crime did Shen Tujia commit? Why was he executed without trial?!"
Wang Tianqi chatted with his wife, who quickly finished the medicine, and then screamed anxiously. Wang Tianqi understood what she meant, and asked someone to bring the food, sat aside, and started eating with her head down.
After calming down and looking at him sideways, Wang Tianqi remained silent.
"I only have two days, don't stop me, just go back!"
Wang Tianqi was preparing to go to the palace. In fact, there were many people who had this idea. When Wang Tianqi arrived at the palace, he looked around and saw many carriages parked outside the palace gate. Many ministers were standing at the door, talking excitedly to the ministers.
What are you wearing?
Soon, Wang Tianqi appeared in the prison. For Shen Tujia and Chao Cuo, this prison was not a scary place. Both of them had been in there countless times and were used to it, but this time there was something different.
The punishment was different, this time it seemed to be fatal.
Liu Chang almost said this through gritted teeth.
"Okay, this is what you said. I give you five days to investigate clearly, otherwise you will die with Chao Cuo and the others!!"
Within a moment, Lu Lu walked out and looked at Wang Tianqi, who was surrounded by doctors, in surprise, "How did you get in?"
Wang Tianqi was born in poverty, and his parents died when he was young, so he became a knight-errant and went out to explore. Unexpectedly, he was attracted by his wife as soon as he went out, so he forcibly married him. As a result, the world was in chaos soon, and Wang Tianqi's wife's family was very popular in the local area.
When he was powerful, he took his wife and family to defect to Liu Bang. He made great achievements in the first battle and successfully gained Liu Bang's attention. Later, he fought everywhere and reached the position of General Wei because he had fought with Lu Ze.
, the relationship with the Lu family has always been very delicate. His position as a court captain was also interfered by Empress Lu, who also made him a marquis. Although Wang Tianqi was the founding minister, he was granted the title of marquis relatively late.
“Your Majesty’s move is really against the law!!”
Wang Tianqi shook his head and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I am here to share your worries, not to plead for mercy. People like Chao Cuo only have fame and nothing else in their hearts. For his own ambition, he will do anything.
Doing this, regardless of national conditions, and even at the expense of making enemies of the world, such a person will die in his own hands sooner or later. Even if His Majesty does not kill him, he will not die well! As for Shen Tujia, this person is stupid, willful, and has no talent.
, has a stubborn character, doesn’t know how to adapt, is irritable and has no plans. When His Majesty is in a hurry, he doesn’t want to share His Majesty’s worries, but instead opens his mouth to anger Your Majesty. If he doesn’t die, who will die?”
"this matter"
"You made a knife for someone, and you still insist on it?!"
Wang Tianqi shook his head, "In this world, how can you survive without being timid? Sometimes you need to be reckless, and sometimes you need to be timid. I am timid around you until now. In the past, they all called me Tingyi Tingwei.
.Now they don’t say that anymore.”
"I came here from the Queen Mother."
What is going on? When did he go in?
Lu Jia, Tai Pu, Jia Yi, even Luan Bu, Zhang Meng and others are all here. There are also many officials, all of whom are officials in the court. But at this moment, they are all blocked outside the palace gate. The soldiers are not there at all.
They are not allowed to enter.
"Being able to come into contact with Chao Cuo's handwriting will help me understand him."
"Prince, something big has happened"
"Do you still have a big man in your heart? Do you know what Chao Cuo is doing?"
"What's wrong?"
"He said that he could not kill Chao Cuo, but this letter could help get rid of the thief. After saying this, he committed suicide angrily."
As Wang Tianqi spoke, the attendant could not stop him at all, but said uneasily: "You can't leave from here, this is only for your Majesty!"
"But for angering His Majesty and deceiving His Majesty, are they the only two people who deserve to be killed?"
The lady sobbed again.
Chao Cuo, with disheveled hair, insulted Shen Tujia: "You despicable villain, how dare you frame me like this!! I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!!"
At this moment, Liu Chang looked very angry and murderous. When he looked at Wang Tianqi, Wang Tianqi felt as if he was being targeted by some ferocious beast, and felt chills all over his body, and his hair stood on end.
"Your Majesty!! Your Majesty Wang Tianqi has come to pay homage!!"
"Zhonghuang is in Hanoi and I'm afraid we won't be able to come back in the short term."
"It turns out that the prince came here to plead for mercy."
When Wang Tianqi walked out of the courtyard, he returned to his original appearance, looking a little dull and honest. With this appearance, he had survived every change since the founding of the Han Dynasty.
"Did you personally hear Chao Cuo say such words?"
"Don't worry, your Majesty asked me to investigate this matter. I will find out the truth. You should go back first."
Liu Chang glanced at Lu Lu and said disdainfully: "He can see it, so why can't I see it?"
"Thinking about it now, I was really timid at that time."
Wang Tianqi suddenly turned his head and looked at the attendant, "You can go back and ask the Queen Mother! Ask me if I am qualified to take this path!"
"I don't know what you saw in me at that time. You insisted on forcing me to stay at home. After eating a bowl of wheat rice from you, you hooked me up."
Wang Tianqi stepped forward and wiped the saliva from the corner of Madam's mouth, which stopped Madam's anger. Madam seemed to want to say something, but couldn't. She just cried aggrievedly. Wang Tianqi hurriedly comforted her, "Don't think about this.
, let’s think about Chulong’s marriage. Chulong is about to start a family. It’s not appropriate for me, the eldest father, to take a concubine. Actually, I’m not worried about the girl from the family that Chulong is looking for. It’s not that the family tradition is bad.
Well, I still respect Ji Yushi very much, and his granddaughter must be pretty good, but I just want him to find a child from an ordinary family. Ji Yushi's family all have strong personalities."
"There must be other thieves who are using them to create obstacles for Your Majesty, and even want to distort the national policy formulated by Your Majesty! Chao Cuo and Shen Tujia deserve to be killed, and these people deserve to be killed even more!"
Wang Tianqi hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed, "Get the car ready."
Wang Tianqi had always been close to the Queen Mother and was recognized as the backbone of the Queen Mother's party. The soldiers did not find it strange. After going in to report, they opened the door for him.
Wang Tianqi glared at him fiercely and cursed: "You also fought with us, why are you so stupid? How could Chao Cuo write such words in a letter? And deliberately put it where the rangers can find it? And you still know how to do it?
To give it to you? A mere ranger, a ranger from Chu State, how could he know about your relationship with Chao Cuo?!"
"I have something important to see your Majesty!"
Li Wangfu's face was pale and he looked extremely frightened.
"You deserve it! If I can kill you and die together, you will live up to your reputation as a man!!"
Queen Lu was very happy to know that he had come to visit her. She asked about his wife's condition at home, and promised to find him some more famous imperial doctors, which was a few words of comfort.
Wang Tianqi spoke loudly, Lu Lu was thoughtful, but Liu Chang sneered.
"Haha, I was still young at the time, and you said that if I dared to leave, you would go to the government and accuse me of stealing. I actually believed you, and I was so scared that I married you."
Lu Lu's eyes widened, but Liu Chang looked at him suspiciously, the anger in his eyes weakened a little, and he said: "On weekdays, I don't say much about the fight between Shen Tujia and Chao Cuo. I have endured it many times.
But this time, they really went too far. I don’t care whether they are false accusations or curses. Anyway, my brother cannot be implicated!! I want to use Chao Cuo and Shen Tujia to teach them a lesson and let the ministers know what
What can be done, what can't be done. I'm not just going to kill them both, if anyone is found to be involved in this matter, I'll kill them all!!"
"I am here just to share your Majesty's worries. Please order me to investigate this matter! If I fail, I am willing to die!"
But seeing Empress Lu who looked tired and had pale hair, Wang Tianqi didn't say anything about what was going on outside in the end, but just said goodbye.
"I have given the letter to Your Majesty. The handwriting is that of Chao Cuo. I recognize his handwriting!"
"I don't say that. What if the person behind the scenes runs away? Isn't King Chengyang investigating? However, since Wang Tianqi wants to investigate, that's fine. He is doing it openly and Zhang is doing it secretly. Maybe the result will be found out faster.
No matter who dares to do things under the pretext of my second brother, I will never forgive him!!!!!"
Wang Tianqi was cautious and knew how to hide his clumsiness, so whether he was with Liu Bang, Lu Ze, Han Xin, or Empress Lu, he got along well and rarely offended others. However, this kind of character also made his colleagues look down on him, and they thought he was too much.
Tactful and unethical.
But soon, he calmed down again and asked: "Who is responsible for this?"
Shen Tujia couldn't help but said: "That was what Chao Cuo did himself, and it was not someone who made a false accusation!"
"Haha, yes, I am timid now too."
"I believe that your Majesty's decision to execute these two people is the most correct action."
"Both of these two people deserve to be killed! I am not here to plead for them!"
Wang Tianqi ignored Chao Cuo and pulled Shen Tujia away. When Shen Tujia found out that he was not being released, but was being interrogated alone, he was a little confused.
"Your Majesty, you are so capable. At this age, can you still break through the wall?"
"Stop!!!"
After walking out of the Shou Palace, the attendant smiled and led him the way. However, just after taking a few steps, Wang Tianqi suddenly stopped and stepped toward the left, faster and faster. Before the attendant could speak, Wang Tianqi walked out.
After walking most of the way, the attendant was frightened and rushed forward, "Prince?! What are you going to do? Prince?! Where are you going?"
Wang Tianqi's expression changed drastically, "What??"
"This medicine is not bitter either, so don't be stubborn."
Liu Chang's irritable voice came from inside.
"Okay, okay, at this age, you are still scolding me for decades."
He was about to interrogate him alone. Shen Tujia was overjoyed and cursed at Chao Cuo: "Damn you, it's an advantage for you to die like this!"
Liu Chang was even more surprised, "Is it possible that the prince came to see me in such a great deal of trouble just to echo my words?"
"I only impeached Chao Cuo for his crimes. What fault did I have?"
The arrival of Wang Tianqi made the two of them stunned, and neither of them was in a hurry to speak.
"Haha. Is the prince taking great pains to beat the doctor to plead for mercy for Shen Tujia or Chao Cuo?"
"Don't be impatient. Speak slowly, one by one. How come you have a letter?"
The soldiers looked at them seriously and were indifferent to their words.
When Wang Tianqi walked out of the palace in an upright manner, everyone waiting outside the palace was stunned.
Wang Tianqi looked at them and said to the soldiers on the side: "Let Shen Tujia out."
It seemed that all these people came to plead for Shen Tujia, and only Luan Bu came to plead for Chao Cuo. Luan Bu shouted angrily at this moment: "This is a false accusation, and it is definitely not the fault of these two people!!"
"Let him in!!"
Just as the doctor spoke, Wang Tianqi punched the doctor quickly, hitting the bridge of the doctor's nose. The doctor covered his face in pain. He grabbed the spear in the other doctor's hand, stretched out his leg sideways, and pushed him to the ground.
His movements were extremely smooth, and then he threw himself at Houde Hall, and the doctors screamed and ran from all directions, trying to catch him. Wang Tianqi, at his age, ran very fast, and the group of doctors could not catch up.
I got on him and blocked him from the front, but I couldn't catch him. I was stunned and he ran to the door of Houde Hall.
Wang Tianqi looked at the Queen Mother in front of him and wanted to speak several times.
"Tian Zhong, a native of Chu, wanted to assassinate Chao Cuo not long ago. After sneaking into his mansion, he found a letter and immediately took it out and delivered it to me."
Wang Tianqi entered the palace and went directly to the longevity hall.
"Let us in!!"
Liu Chang waved his hand and asked Wang Tianqi to leave.
When Wang Tianqi arrived at Weiyang Palace, the doctors here also widened their eyes, and Wang Tianqi went directly to his target, Houde Hall.
Lu Lu was stunned, "Then why did you execute Chao Cuo and Shen Tujia?"
While the two were talking, an official shouted hurriedly in the courtyard: "Your Majesty!! Your Majesty!!"
The lady was quiet for a moment, and then she began to sob urgently.
"When I went to the Yushi Mansion to find Chao Cuo, I heard from an official that Chao Cuo attached great importance to the affairs of the Supreme Emperor."
The lady grinned and whimpered something.
"I suddenly remembered that I haven't seen your Majesty for a long time."
After Wang Tianqi said goodbye and left, Lu Lu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the prince is right. It is impossible for Chao Cuo to say such things. He is crazy to say this. This is definitely because he has offended too many people. Someone wants to get rid of him."
To get rid of him, there are too many princes, kings, ministers, and people suspected of being powerful. Shen Tujia must have been stabbed!"
Wang Tianqi started laughing as he spoke.
Wang Tianqi nodded, "These two people must be killed."
Wang Tianqi followed Lu Lu in and hurriedly bowed to see Liu Chang.
Wang Tianqi frowned and remained silent.
Wang Tianqi stood in the distance, watching this scene quietly.
Chao Cuo's eyes flashed with despair, and he shouted: "Your Majesty! Please tell Your Majesty! Someone has made a false accusation! I have never said such words!"
Wang Tianqi was stunned for a moment, then stood up hurriedly, "You rest, I have to be busy."
"Your Majesty, I am not begging for mercy. I just feel that instead of rushing to execute these two thieves, we might as well catch the other thieves and execute them together, eradicating them and leaving no one behind."
"I have obtained a letter written by Chao Cuo to his subordinate Zhao Yu. These words are in the letter. Moreover, someone has said such words to me before."
Chao Cuo and Shen Tujia were imprisoned in cells facing each other. During these days, the two of them cursed loudly until their mouths went dry.
"Shen Tujia reported Chao Cuo for cursing the Supreme Emperor, hoping that you would die early. Both of them were imprisoned, and His Majesty was extremely angry. He said he would kill them."
"But me"
Wang Tianqi suddenly narrowed his eyes, "People from Chu, you knight."
"How powerful have the powerful people from all over the country become? They have become so powerful that they joined forces with the ministers to murder the three princes of the Han Dynasty! Do you hope that the Han Dynasty will perish? Even people like me know that we must stand up and do something. What are you talking nonsense about here?
Woolen cloth?!"
Shen Tujia was speechless immediately, his eyes were filled with confusion.
"Just because you two idiots handled this matter well, I'm afraid I will have to retire and return home!!"
"Come here, take this guy back and give him twenty lashes! Tell Chao Cuo!!"
