Chapter 771 Inquiring Chen Zhiyun
Liang Guo..
Capital.
In the palace.
Imperial study room.
Compared to outside, the light here is a little darker.
Chen Zhiyun was wearing a white long gown and stood in front, lowering her head slightly, silent.
In this place, he no longer had the hidden power of the commander of the White Army, but was like a real scholar.
In front of Chen Zhiyun, an old man sat on the wooden chair of the red sandalwood carved dragon.
The old man's hair was gray, his face was old, his eyes were dull and turbid, and he was filled with aura of twilight.
But he was dressed in bright yellow clothes and carved with a golden dragon in the clouds. He was lifelike. Although he was in poor condition, he was very tall. Sitting firmly on it, there was a smell that surpassed all living beings.
This is the current emperor of Liang State.
The old emperor gasped slightly, his arms trembled faintly, and the memorials he wrote had already piled up a small hill.
"I'm old."
The old emperor smiled bitterly and said, "I was a brave and good at fighting back then. I held a sword, pulled a strong bow, and surrendered a fierce horse. I didn't expect that it would be difficult to carry the pen today. This matter of reading memorials will be difficult in the future..."
Chen Zhiyun heard this and whispered: "The emperor was cured of a long illness and was inevitably weak. He only needed a little recuperation to recover."
"Don't raise me up." The old emperor shook his head slightly and sighed: "In recent years, he has been addicted to wine and sex, drowsy and sleepy. When he wakes up, he is still unable to give up the beautiful wine and beautiful women. In addition, he is old and is indeed not as good as before. Even if he is recuperating in the future, it is likely that he will find it difficult to recover."
When Chen Zhiyun heard this, he dared not say anything again.
The old emperor was addicted to wine and sex. Even though he knew it was not good, he still remained unchanged and favored Yue Fei very much.
But the matter of Concubine Yue was killed by Chen Zhiyun.
Although this move was for the emperor's sake, and the emperor regained his mind and became more and more awake, it was a great joy for the country and the country... But Chen Zhiyun knew that as a minister, he had killed the emperor's favorite concubine and had committed the following crimes, which had already planted the disaster.
When he made up his mind to ambush the Moon Concubine, he was ready to be punished by the emperor.
Now that he heard the emperor mention this matter, he dared not say anything more.
And at this moment, the old emperor's old voice rang out slowly, saying, "I heard this morning that someone in your army is planning to rebel?"
In a word, the tone is plain and weak.
However, when Chen Zhiyun's ears fell like a thunder blew up. He felt cold in his heart, and he bowed with his hands, saying, "Go back to the emperor, there is indeed such a thing, but the man has been punished by the last 300 people, and he has handed over the thirty members of his command to His Royal Highness the Prince to deal with it."
The old emperor nodded, then spoke, and said lightly: "I heard that the prince sent dozens of people, but was intercepted and killed halfway through, and none of them were alive, as if it was done by those more than thirty people?"
Chen Zhiyun whispered: "The generals also heard about this matter. Think about it carefully. With the skills of my white-clad soldiers, it is not difficult to do this matter."
The old emperor said, "I heard that the wounds on those corpses were all killed from top to bottom, as if they were killed from a high position? Even if the more than thirty people were able to counterattack, they would not be able to do anything?"
Chen Zhiyun said: "Among the last generals, there are many ways to fight the enemy in battle, which is hard to describe. Unexpectedly, these rebel soldiers actually used them on their robes, which is very hateful."
When the old emperor heard this, he nodded slightly, as if he had believed it all, and then spoke, "Chen Zhiyun."
Chen Zhiyun bowed and said, "The last one will be here."
The old emperor asked, "Is everything you say true?"
Chen Zhiyun replied: "Not true."
In the imperial study room, there was a moment of silence.
The old emperor looked at him quietly for a moment.
Chen Zhiyun seemed to be unaware of it.
"Hahaha……"
The old emperor suddenly laughed and said, "What a good Chen Zhiyun, after many years, he still has his temperament, but this is a bit pedantic."
"Bullying the king and his superiors is a death sentence." Chen Zhiyun said in a deep voice: "Minist is not afraid of being punished, but he has known the superiority of the king and his subjects since childhood... Those who are ministers cannot deceive the king."
The old emperor said a few times, then said, "Then are those false words in front of you who deceive the king?"
Chen Zhiyun said: "The commander of the White Army cannot rebel, so this matter cannot be made public. The previous words are just an explanation for the people of the world."
The old emperor nodded slightly and said, "You really did this time?"
Chen Zhiyun nodded and said, "Yes."
The old emperor said, "Do you know how serious this crime is?"
Chen Zhiyun said: "At the least, beheading the heads and displaying them to the public; the worst, the family will be confiscated and the family will be exterminated."
The old emperor said, "But you still have to do this?"
Chen Zhiyun paused and said, "Scholars are loyal and the blood of soldiers. As the saying goes, when a person lives in one breath, he will be both a literati and a soldier. Of course, he is also a common man who acts with impulse."
The old emperor nodded and said, "You are so calm, are you sure that I dare not kill you?"
Chen Zhiyun knelt on both knees and kowtowed, "I dare not."
"Get up."
The old emperor raised his hand and said, "The white-robed general Chen Zhiyun, who is famous all over the world, cannot resist. If he rebels, he will shock the world. However, there is such a weight. Now there is no evidence and you are not rebelling, so I can't touch you easily, so as not to gain a reputation of jealousy in history books."
Chen Zhiyun seemed to feel a little dissatisfied when he heard the old emperor's words, and his heart was slightly shocked, saying that he didn't dare.
"Okay... I asked you to come, it's not a punishment."
The old emperor said lightly: "Does of lives cannot be exchanged for your Chen Zhiyun's life...but if you despise the imperial power and act recklessly, you can be punished by death, but you cannot escape the crime of living."
Chen Zhiyun said: "The final punishment will be accepted."
"I will talk about the punishment for you in a while." The old emperor responded, and then sighed: "But you have always been orderly and dared not surpass your duty as a minister. This time, the person who dared to intercept the prince, is it the first time you have committed the crime in your life? I am curious about what those soldiers who made you break the precepts look like? And is the young general who advised you to rebel really your illegitimate child? Or is the rebellious words that the child persuaded to persuade just touched the thoughts in your heart?"
Chen Zhiyun said in a deep voice: "I will clean myself and never rebel."
The old emperor laughed a few times, but did not answer.
Chen Zhiyun lowered his head to the ground and frowned slightly.
This emperor has been sitting in this position for decades, and has passed by all kinds of conspiracies and tricks on the battlefield. It is really hard to see through. Sometimes it seems to be suspicious, sometimes it seems to believe in his ministers without doubt.
His words are not easy to figure out!
Being with the king is like a tiger!
Chen Zhiyun dared not speak.
However, at this moment, the old emperor said, "Do you know, I called you into the palace this time, but why?"
Chen Zhiyun said: "Is it not for this?"
The old emperor shook his head and said, "This matter is just a trivial matter. You are under the prince's hands and are oppressed a lot. Sometimes you are uneven and you can beat him. It is understandable that this little fight will only involve dozens of lives. It is not a matter of fact. I call you this time, and I will ask you, a guy who despises the imperial power, to pay attention in the future, and your real idea..."
After pausing for a moment, he heard the old emperor's old voice and said in a low voice: "I'm asking you... the position of the prince is easy to change."
A sound fell like a muffled thunder!
Chen Zhiyun suddenly looked up and his eyes shrank.
With his calm mind, he could not help but show an incredible look on his face at this moment.
"The Emperor..." (To be continued...)
