Chapter 381
It turned out that after arriving in Kezhou, General Yu and his party were entertained by the Liu family. It was not that they were not alert enough, but that the army had to have a place to live. He thought that since the purpose was to investigate them, he would take the risk.
In the first few days, there was no problem. What Liu did was legal business, and there was no evidence of collusion with the dead Tian Taishou.
The most important thing is that everyone said that Liu Zhaoxing and Liu lingzusun didn't come back, either they really hid their whereabouts, or the whole family lied together.
General Yu and General Chang are not good at checking evidence, but they are meticulous. But one night, they had a good meal, and suddenly they all fell down.
Recalling the situation at that time, it was still creepy to join the army.
"I was upset at that time. I didn't eat that dinner, but I went to the toilet and squatted for a long time. When I came back See them one by one eyes hair straight, Leng Leng ground slowly hang down the head, how shout all have no response
Pei Ming and Xue tingji's expressions became more and more dignified. After listening to joining the army, they said: "later, I heard the footsteps outside the door, so I quickly hid. Some people from the Liu family came in and muttered about what they were saying, but I I can't hear you
Seeing that he blamed himself for beating his chest, Xue Ting grabbed him and said, "have they all been killed?"
Joining the army shook his head like a demon, "no, but those people must have a conspiracy! I couldn't do anything on my own, so I ran back to report it all night. "
It took him eight days to speed up his journey, that is to say, General Yu, they are still under Liu's control.
Two generals, a special envoy, two thousand soldiers, and tie Lao So many people were held by a little Liu. How could Xue Ting tolerate such provocations? But just about to give an order, he swallowed it back.
Liu took them as hostages, the army's encirclement and suppression must not work, damn, he has never been so coerced!
Different from his gnashing of teeth, Pei Ming was worried, but he was calm on the surface. "At least Liu won't hurt them for the time being, but two thousand elites are enough to fight a small battle. Does Liu want to fight against the imperial court together?"
Xue tingji snorted coldly, "if it is true, it will be their accusation. The evidence of what will lead to death has been found out. He knows that there is no escape, so the trapped beast is still fighting."
The most urgent task is how to save the generals. If Liu is aware of the crisis, it is very possible to poison them directly, so he can only outwit them.
a fish escaped through the Seine. But they halt the troops and wait for the next move.
However, Pei Ming and Xue tingji had a premonition in their hearts, which was very bad and uneasy. They didn't show it in a tacit way. They kept their fingers together and comforted each other silently.
With Wu Da in charge of all the people in the palace, he was not allowed to let out any information. He was secretly placed in the army, and everything was as if nothing had happened.
Then, Xue Ting took Pei ming to the palace, and in the name of filial piety, he would stay there for two days.
Of course, if there is any news, the Council will immediately report it.
Xishan palace is not far from the imperial city. It's almost half a day away. Xue Ting specially arranged a grand guard of honor. On the one hand, he was filial to the world. On the other hand, he put on a false appearance to let Liu's guard down.
It's a pity that the appearance is false after all. When he arrived at the palace and met his father, Xue Ting immediately took off his disguise, and there was no trace of humility left.
The old emperor was really weak. He just sat up under the service of the palace people and looked at Xue tingji with complicated eyes. Pei Ming stared at Xue tingji without hesitation and finally saw that he was nervous.
Xue tingji also knew it well. He came to the bedside with a negative hand, and his smile was mixed with the pleasure of revenge.
"What is father afraid of? Are you afraid that I will kill you? Yes, you were so cruel to me at the beginning. Now you should worry about it. After all, it's not up to you to decide your life and death. "
Just as in those days, his life completely depends on the emperor's thinking, and even in order not to make him better, he was stingy of clothes, food and medicine.
He bent down and looked at the emperor. The hatred in his eyes could not be wiped out.
"In fact, you just wanted me to die? If I die on the road of exile, it's only my own bad life, so you don't have to blame yourself, do you? "
Perhaps there was no strength or room for refutation. The emperor looked at him in silence and said for a long time, "so you can do whatever you want now, then..."
He leaned slightly, even looking up at Xue tingji, but he couldn't hide the prestige of being emperor for decades. His half squinting look was very similar to Xue tingji's, and he slowly asked, "do you want to kill me?"
Xue Ting by not speaking, clenching his teeth to show his anger, but even if more ruthless, he is ultimately unable to start, and even very funny, how to now can not forget his respect for the emperor, pulled a heartless sneer, "the emperor said, you just calm down, you can recover in a few days."That's why the supreme emperor is really a man with a heart of stone. Although it's hard to detect, Pei Ming, who is on the other side, is still uncomfortable with his hesitation and defense. He does not hesitate to stand beside Xue tingji.
"It's natural for sons and daughters-in-law to take care of their parents in law. How could it be a crime to be here? In fact, you really don't have to worry about suspecting, because even if you do, what can you do? "
Both the emperor and Xue tingji were surprised by her attitude, but Pei Ming didn't think so. The son tingji had done his best, but the father still wanted to erase his last sincerity.
Knowing that she was like Xue tingji, of course, he knew Pei Ming's intention and habitually held her knuckles and left.
It's not worth it for him. This father can't hurt him any more.
With the emperor in the palace, all the people were very nervous, and they did not dare to neglect anything. The imperial doctor was very nervous, and all his thoughts were spent on guessing the meaning of the Holy Spirit.
If your majesty doesn't give you a definite answer, they really can't figure out whether they will try their best to treat or let the emperor collapse quietly.
Or Pei Ming see their hesitation, understatement: "do your doctor's instinct." Only in this way can the imperial doctors make up their minds and treat the patients seriously.
But after all, it's hard for the emperor to heal, and the imperial doctors dare not prescribe strong medicine. Therefore, his condition is always uncertain. Let's hang on like this.
Two days later, the empress will return to the palace. Before leaving, Xue tingji finally went to see the emperor and left a word.
"Even if you've had a funeral, there won't be many people crying for you, so in order to save some face for yourself, you'll live slowly."
However, Xue tingji would not have thought that this was really the last time their father and son met, and his father, the emperor, even died, gave him a blow.
