376. Shame to kill Ouyang
Anger rose from Ouyang Xu's heart, making his face turn red. He really wanted to jump up and curse.
Ouyang She responded to Liu Xiu with the troops from the county, and followed Liu Xiu's battle northward battle, making great contributions. For the sake of the Han Dynasty, he worked hard and worked hard, and put in a lot of effort. Now that Liu Xiu became the emperor, he actually wanted his life for such a mere money!
Since ancient times, emperors have been the most ruthless.
Ouyang Xu suddenly felt relieved and felt completely disappointed. He could no longer listen to Wei Hong's words and never looked up at him from beginning to end.
At this time, he heard Deng Yu say, "Mr. Ouyang, your family and youngest son are ordered to take care of them. They are all fine, so Mr. Ouyang doesn't have to worry about it."
If it were just now, Ouyang Xu would have understood that in order to make him feel at ease in prison and take care of his family on his behalf, he would have been very grateful. But at this time Ouyang Xu knew, and this was His Majesty who said to him through Deng Yu's mouth: "You go to die with peace of mind, I will not make things difficult for your family."
This is the emperor's promise. If he does not die as planned, what will happen to his family? Ouyang Xu thought about it and couldn't help but shudder.
He reluctantly said, "Thank you for your grace, please rest assured. Even if the sinner dies, he will be grateful to your Majesty for your great kindness in the underworld."
Deng Yu straightened up with satisfaction. He fulfilled the emperor's will and got the answer he wanted, which was Ouyang She's promise to die.
At this time, a voice shouted: "Master, you will not die! Your Majesty will pardon Master, so that we still have good teachers to ask for advice, and that the Secretary of the House can still pass on to future generations!"
Ouyang Xu looked up in surprise and saw a shining bald head from the gap in the iron bars of the cell, dazzlingly white in the darkness.
Deng Yu smiled and said, "Donald Ouyang, this morning, more than a thousand students went outside the palace gate and asked Your Majesty for the resignation of the Master, asking Your Majesty to issue an order to forgive the Master. They guarded the Palace Gate from morning to night, and it was very hard. The leader was Chu Sheng. Chu Sheng. Why didn't he come in to pay homage to the Master?"
Chu Sheng then went into the prison door, bowed down, and said happily: "Master, don't you remember me? I am Chu Sheng. Today I have to guard the palace for the Master. Therefore, Your Majesty ordered the Grand Situ to visit the Master."
More than a thousand people guarding the palace?
Ouyang Xu felt a buzzing sound in his head, and his whole body could not stop trembling slightly. He stretched out his right hand, pointed to the shining bald head in front of him, and said, "You, you are Chu Sheng, Chu Sheng, beast!"
Chu Sheng said, "Master, do you remember it? I am Chu Sheng. I have only heard you talk about learning once. My "Shangshu" is passed down by your disciples, but I have seen you several times, but I am impressed by the Master's style. It is a great honor for students to be able to learn Shangshu from Master. I heard that Master was arrested and issued an edict to prison. The students were extremely anxious. Master is a scholar of his generation. How can he be punished for Master with his sins? The student and his classmates went to Weiyang Palace to guard the palace and stayed for a day. After not seeing Your Majesty issue an edict, the student came forward to knock on the palace. Unexpectedly, this knock on the door really knocked out the Great Situ. Master, I believe Your Majesty is moved by our sincerity, and remembered the Master's merits. Special envoy Grand Situ came to comfort Master. Master, you must take care of it. Maybe Your Majesty will issue an edict tomorrow and Master will be able to go home!"
He was still talking nonstop, Ouyang Xu was so angry that he was trembling all over. He finally squeezed out a sentence, "Wait, do you go to guard the palace and put me in a place of unfaithfulness? You, you..."
Chu Sheng wanted to say something else, but Deng Yu scolded: "You are guarding the palace and disturbing Your Majesty and angering the Master. You are not going out yet!"
Chu Sheng did not dare to disobey his orders, so he had to leave the prison door and said as he walked: "Master, don't worry, Your Majesty has forgiven Master. I will let all my classmates go back and come here to welcome Master tomorrow."
Deng Yu said: "Mr. Ouyang, Mr. Deng has brought his majesty's feelings. Mr. Ouyang can write to himself to defend himself. Your Majesty said, write whatever he wants. Your Majesty wants to read Ouyang's words."
He bowed deeply to Ouyang Xu and turned around and left.
Seeing Deng Yu and others disappear into the darkness, Ouyang She fell depressed on the haystack and could no longer raise any strength. Now he knew why His Majesty could not tolerate him and why His Majesty insisted on killing him.
"Beasts, these beasts!" he cursed hatefully, "I'm so crazy!"
He didn't move, and lay for no reason until the lamp oil burned out, the last little light was shattered, and the cell fell into darkness again.
There was silence around him, but Ouyang Xu's heart was full of noise. He was nostalgic for the world, and even this cell made him feel friendly and he didn't want to die.
Sometimes he asks himself, “Can I not die?”
Another voice immediately replied with certainty: "No!"
This is the last face left to him by the emperor. He can die decently and receive the grief after death. His family children can continue to live decently. The emperor will let him die without regrets with his "mercy".
If he doesn't know the current affairs... he will not even have this little decency.
The third update was played outside the window. To him, this was a death-hunting update. Tonight was his last night in the world!
Ouyang Xu got up, held the iron bar in his hand, and shouted outside: "The lamp is coming! I want to write a memorial!"
It's strange. The prison guard who usually can't call him even if he pulls his throat, actually came as if he's always waiting for his call.
The room lit up again, Ouyang She unfolded the white silk and wrote in a pen full of ink: "The sinner She cried and bowed a hundred times..."
The oil lamp burned most of the time, and Ouyang Xu completed his last memorial. He threw away his pen, stood up, and shook the white silk full of words.
This is a slender white silk, tied it to the window... The length is just right, Ouyang Xu smiled bitterly, Your Majesty is really thoughtful!
He walked towards the iron window with a silk book, and his clothes suddenly slid down. Ouyang Xu leaned over and picked up the clothes.
This is the dragon robe worn by the emperor.
Ouyang Xu suddenly had an idea, and he wanted to tell the emperor something in the end, and use this piece of clothing without a memorial.
He wanted to tell the emperor that he knew the emperor's mind and that he could not resist, but he could choose what to die.
"It's not that I want to die myself, it's that you have to force me to die!" Ouyang Xu said softly.
He threw away the white silk and held the precious dragon robe in both hands. It was once the glory given to him by the emperor, and now it is the weapon that sent him on the way.
Ouyang Xu put the dragon robe on the window fence, rolled up the two long sleeves, and pulled them.
He leaned against the wall and stretched his head in, his neck stuck to the knot of his sleeve. It looked like the emperor stretched out his hands from behind and strangled his neck firmly.
Ouyang Xu turned around and looked out the window for the last time. The moon in the sky was big and round, and the moonlight was cold, just like the emperor's ruthless eyes, looking down at everything in the world indifferently.
"You give me a piece of clothing and I'll give you a life."
