Chapter 0376 A strange combination of circumstances
"Mom, who is he? What is he holding in his hand? Why is it the same as what Guanyin Bodhisattva is holding? Is he Guanyin Bodhisattva?"
The five or six-year-old child was very curious about Gao Shi, especially the whisk in Gao Shi's hand, which was even more strange because he had never seen anyone holding this thing before. He had only seen Bodhisattva statues like this in temples.
Gao Shi was embarrassed and ashamed, so he hurriedly took off a jade pendant from his waist and gave it to the child as a greeting gift.
Lotus declined and did not dare to take it. He said it was too precious and refused to take it no matter what.
Gao Shi had no choice but to remember the grapefruits in the sedan chair, so he took one out and said, "I just bought it. It's very sweet. You can take it and eat it."
As soon as the child saw the grapefruit, he happily hugged it in his arms. Seeing that the lotus flower was not valuable, he did not refuse.
"Lotus, are you okay?"
"I,,,I'm fine, how are you?"
"Me? I'm fine too."
After not seeing each other for many years, Gao Shi saw the child looking at him curiously and touching the whisk in his hand. He remembered that he was an eunuch, so he was embarrassed to say more, so he excused himself and left in a hurry.
Gao Shi was sitting in the sedan chair, with scenes from the past echoing in his mind. He couldn't hold back the tears any longer and flowed down.
In the midst of melancholy, before I knew it, the sedan arrived at Han Hong's mansion. Han Hong personally came out to receive him solemnly, not daring to neglect him at all.
Gao Shi said a few polite words and ordered someone to bring the grapefruit. Gao Shi said: "His Royal Highness King Yi, this is what the official personally told us. We have ordered our family to send it to His Highness. Please keep it."
When Han Hong saw the four grapefruits, he was immediately confused. He wondered what Zhao Yun meant by rewarding him with four grapefruits.
Gao Shi was in a bad mood and a little absent-minded because of the lotus matter. He finished the matter in a hurry and returned to the palace.
"Father, what does official mean?"
His son Han Chengfu stared at the four grapefruits, unable to guess Zhao Yun's thoughts.
Han Hong frowned, an ominous premonition welling up in his heart.
Four?Death?
The word "four" is easy to associate with people. At this time, Han Hong thought of meeting Bi Chongzhi last night, and felt that Zhao Yun must have something to say when he rewarded him with four grapefruits.
"No, the officials want to kill me!"
Suddenly, Han Hong thought of an explanation, and his expression suddenly changed. In one sentence, Han Chengfu jumped in shock.
"What do you mean by this, father? How could the officials kill you?"
Han Hong looked distressed and said: "Four grapefruits, the official means, Ding You!"
"ah!"
Han Chengfu was so surprised that he was stunned. He couldn't believe his father's guess. He said: "Father, you have won the trust of the officials and you have not made any mistakes. How could the officials kill you? It must be because you made the mistake of the officials."
The meaning of home.”
Han Hong smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "The officials had deep thoughts and had already planned to kill Wang Jin. However, they still trusted his performance and allowed him to temporarily act as the governor of Lin'an. Finally, when Wang Jin was satisfied, he directly
Killed, the shocked officials were all frightened, and the resistance to the new method was instantly reduced by half."
Han Hong shook his head and sighed, feeling depressed.
The Han family has been prominent for hundreds of years since Han Qi, and became the most prominent family in the Song Dynasty besides the royal family. Such status and status made every head of the Han family fearful, fearing that the officials would regard them as a threat and suppress them.
.
Therefore, every head of the Han family has been psychologically prepared for the fate of being sentenced to death, and Han Hong is no exception.
After speaking, Han Hong stumbled towards the study room.
When he came to the study, Han Hong wrote a suicide note and arranged his posthumous affairs to avoid civil strife in the Han family.
Seeing this, Han Chengfu advised: "Father, why do you have to do this? It really can't be done. Let's go to the palace and plead with the officials, and the officials will grant permission."
Han Hong looked at everything and said: "If the king wants his minister to die, he has to die; if the father wants his son to die, the son must not die. If he takes the death of his father, he can still save the entire Han family. If he really wants to provoke the officials to take action, then
It’s the death of one’s body and the destruction of one’s clan.”
Han Hong knew that Zhao Yun must have known about his meeting with Bi Chongzhi yesterday. Zhao Yun was worried that Bi Chongzhi would be in danger because of his collusion with the general, so he wanted to commit suicide.
If that's the case, then die.
"Father."
Han Chengfu was filled with tears, but he could not dissuade Han Hong from seeking death.
Han Chengfu had no choice but to rush out and call his mother, Han Hong's concubines, brothers and sisters, asking them to hold Han Hong while he hurriedly rode to the palace to plead with Zhao Yun.
In the study room of Funing Hall, Zhao Yun was reviewing the memorial. A small yellow door hurriedly walked in and said to Zhao Yun: "Your Majesty, Han Chengfu, the eldest son of King Yi, has asked to see you and said that he has something important to report."
Zhao Yun was stunned for a while, Han Chengfu, it was his first time here, but he didn't know why.
"Xuan."
Han Chengfu didn't care about the loss of etiquette before the emperor, and walked quickly into the study. He knelt down in front of Zhao Yun and cried: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Zhao Yun was surprised, looked at Han Chengfu, and said, "What are you doing?"
Han Chengfu took courage and cried with tears in his eyes, "Your Majesty, my father is loyal to you and has never had any second thoughts. Why do you want to kill him?"
Zhao Yun stood up from his chair in shock, walked to Han Chengfu, and asked hurriedly: "When will I kill your father?"
"That,,,that,,,"
Han Chengfu saw Zhao Yun's anxious expression, which didn't seem to be false. He was confused, stammered, and didn't know what to say.
Zhao Yun suddenly reacted and thought to himself that if he had given him five grapefruits, would Han Hong have misunderstood him and now seek death?
Zhao Yun felt that he was going to suffer, so he didn't care so much, and said sternly: "Quick, I want to leave the palace."
Zhao Yun hurriedly walked out of the palace. Han Chengfu saw hope and followed closely behind Zhao Yun. Gao Shi and Xiao Huangmen, the palace ladies were also panicked and followed him one by one.
When Zhao Yun arrived at Prince Yi's residence, there was already a lot of crying and shouting. Zhao Yun felt bad, could it be that he was too late?
He quickly followed the sound, and finally saw Han Hong holding a piece of white silk in his hand, looking like he was about to hang himself, but his wife and daughter hugged him tightly, preventing him from hanging.
Han Hong was angry and scolded his wife and daughter to let go. They just kept crying and dared not let go.
For wives and daughters, their husband and father are their sky. If Han Hong dies, the sky will collapse.
"Fortunately, it's okay."
Zhao Yun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Han Qing's family, what are you doing?"
Han Hong was stunned for a moment. He raised his eyes and saw Zhao Yun coming. He hurriedly scolded his wife and daughter to let go. Then he hurriedly straightened his clothes and walked up to Zhao Yun. He raised his hand and said, "I don't know that your majesty is coming and you are not welcome at a distance.
If you die, please forgive me."
Zhao Yun waved his hand and said: "Don't talk nonsense, tell me, what's going on, why are you seeking death?"
