Chapter 398: Okay, You're Good

You can be defeated, you can be injured, but you must not die now.

It was with such a thought that Meng Xian was forced to stay awake under the severe pain. Meng San's martial arts were sparse and his strength was ordinary, and the dagger he stabbed out under the madness was not too deep, and he deliberately avoided the key point at that time, so after pulling out the dagger to stop the bleeding, he still barely stood up with the support of two people. Seeing the person next to Yuan Fang, his thoughts couldn't help but go back to when he first met the Marquis of Baoding, and he didn't know what it was like.

Although the British Duke now has a son-in-law, it does not seem to affect Zhang Yue's stable position at all. It doesn't matter if the official position is not high, it doesn't matter if the title is not, what matters is the trust of the Son of Heaven, which is something that he has not been able to obtain in his life.

Since they hurried here and heard that their father was against the party, the brothers Meng Tao and Meng Fan almost felt that the sky had fallen. At this moment, seeing that his father was pale due to excessive blood loss, both of them wanted to overturn the few brocade guards who were blocking and rushed forward. However, after more than a year of reading books for their mother's filial piety, the brothers were no longer as impatient as before, and could only stand there gritting their teeth and being anxious. Finally, the sharp-eyed Meng Tao caught a glimpse of Zhang Yue and shouted loudly.

"My father is not against the party, he was framed by my third uncle, and everyone in the courtyard here can testify......"

"Shut up!"

Zhang Yue opened his mouth and before he could answer, he only heard this angry voice. Following the prestige, he found that it was none other than Meng Xian who was shouting. At this moment, a group of brocade guards saw Yuan Fang's gesture, and hurriedly rushed up and drove away all the idle people around them. Meng Tao lost his mind because of his father's drinking, and he was also pushed aside, so he could only stand there in despair and watch.

"It's come to this, I don't have anything to say, I am to blame for such a joke at home." Meng Xian's face swept at Zhang Yue with an unusually calm face, and then he shouted to the two sons on the other side, "Right and wrong have their own holy judgments, what do you only care about entanglement?" The law of the land is not a private matter, I don't remember teaching you to mess around with this article! Take your fourth sister back, don't make any more trouble! Let all the servants go back to the house, what a mess it looks like! ”

Leaving these words, Meng Xian only felt a sharp pain in the wound, and couldn't help but stop and gasp for a while. Seeing Zhang Yue's gaze sweeping towards the two brothers, he was a little relieved, so he shook off the two brocade guards who were holding him and took two steps forward, and smiled miserably: "I only have one thing I want to ask Lord Yuan, but I don't know that this matter can implicate Baoding Hou?" ”

Without waiting for Zhang Yue to answer, Yuan Yi rushed ahead: "I am ordered to arrest the rebels, and you don't need to ask more about the rest." Come on, escort Meng Xian out! Leave twenty people, take care of the Meng family, and don't let one go! After saying this, he asked Zhang Yue, "Lord Zhang, since the emperor sent you, let's come one by one according to the list, this is the first family, it has been delayed for a long time, and the next one must be faster." Fortunately, now that the city is under martial law, I can't run! ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Yue saw Meng Xian breathe a sigh of relief, and his heart was as bright as a mirror. This so-called list is based on official positions and subordinates, although Yuan Fang didn't seem to say anything, he had already given Meng Xian an answer. After all, if Zhu Di didn't even let go of the Marquis of Baoding, then he was preparing to wipe out the Meng family to the end, then Meng Xian's actions just now would be in vain. But if Zhu Di doesn't plan to connect with the Marquis of Baoding, then the actions just now may not be enough to get Meng Xian away from the crime and live, but there is always a chance that he can save his children.

Originally, he was calculating the position of the prince of the East Palace, but now he has to calculate the life and death of his family...... It's a world of difference.

Yuan Fang had never been willing to do things like his predecessor, so he didn't order the torture equipment when he escorted people out. In the blink of an eye, the brocade guards who filled the courtyard retreated cleanly. At this moment, Zhang Yue naturally couldn't say anything to the Meng family's sisters and brothers, so he could only turn around and follow Yuan Fang out. When he was about to go out of the screen door, he saw a young girl standing at the door, looking at him with blank eyes, and couldn't help but be stunned, and only when he went out of the door did he remember who it was.

That girl seems to be Cuimo? Yes, he once helped their family of three when he was in the Great Xiangguo Temple, and then Meng Min rescued the little girl's mother, but the family of three entered the Anyang Palace, but Cuimo came to the Meng family, and King Zhao also intentionally mentioned it last time. Now that I think about it, the fate of the Great Xiangguo Temple in the past may be harmful to them...... In other words, it's better to see each other than not to see each other, which is really true.

He didn't know that Cui Mo looked at the back of him leaving, with a deep disappointment on his face.

Because he didn't bring a prisoner cart in a hurry, and the emperor's holy decree was to send all the people to the palace for personal questioning, Yuan Fang ordered people to prepare the carriage after arriving, and at this time ordered Meng Xian to be shackled and pushed up. sent a team of people to escort them back to the palace first, and he and Zhang Yue got on the horse together. Since this was an errand ordered by Qin to arrest people, the two naturally couldn't find a way to talk, so the group almost flipped through the entire Jingshi, grabbed them one by one according to the list, and was busy until the ugly moment.

Ugly is one of the coldest times of the day, and at this time, the snowflakes in the sky are getting bigger and bigger, and you almost have to shake the snowflakes on your body after walking for a while. Zhang Yue lent Wang Yu a sable fur coat, and only wore a linoleum cloak on his body, but he hurriedly tossed around, but at this time, he was sweating, and he didn't feel the chill on his body at all.

The other brocade guards are also in good spirits, after all, their errand is to detect and take people, although this time there is no mention of the family or not, but the oil and water that should be taken are enough, and there are some small things in the waistband. Since everything went well, Yuan Fang's gloomy face also showed a few smiles, and on the way back, he talked with Zhang Yue for a few words, and he had to ask all the reasons before. When it was time to escort a string of prisoners to the left gate of Chang'an, the Jinyi guard, who had been waiting here, stepped forward to meet, and said that the emperor had arrived at the right gate and ordered all the prisoners to be escorted over.

Hearing this, Yuan Fang couldn't help asking: "On such a cold day, the emperor actually came to Youshunmen in person?" Whether it is the Three Law Divisions or our Jinyiwei interrogation, it should be enough. ”

Waiting here to lead the team was a brocade-clothed guard Baihu, who hurriedly replied at this time: "The emperor is really angry this time. After the Meng brothers arrived, after the emperor summoned King Zhao, he originally planned to summon the civil and military ministers above the fifth rank in Beijing to gather in Youshunmen to ask together, but later it was the lord of Chen Liujun who persuaded Fang Cai, but he still ordered to summon all the princes and the cabinet ministers of the six ministries. A quarter of an hour ago, everyone had arrived, and now they were all at the right gate. Adults and Master Zhang hurry over, I'm afraid it's already started. ”

Knowing that the high-ranking civil and military officials were all there, Zhang Yue knew that this time he was really moving, and hurriedly entered the left gate of Chang'an with Yuan Fang. From the Jinshui Bridge into the Chengtian Gate Duanmen Meridian Gate, from west to east is the Guiji Gate, that is, the Right Shun Gate. At this moment, the umbrella cover was opened in front of the right shun gate and the throne was set up, and the ministers of civil and military affairs were divided into two shifts, some of them took linoleum raincoats to avoid the snow, and some of them wore only official uniforms in a hurry. There were several people kneeling on the snow in the middle, and when another group of prisoners were escorted over by the brocade guards, the civil and military officials on the left and right couldn't help but stir slightly, and the face of Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, who was standing at the forefront, was more ugly than the frosted eggplant.

Among the military attachés, Zhang Fu frowned, and the marquis after him frequently looked at Baoding Marquis Meng Ying. Baoding Hou Meng Ying didn't think about the third brother who was already half dead, but just stared at Meng Xian. Although he also guessed that Meng Xian had some unrealistic thoughts, but if he wanted to do it, now that he made such a scene, he would definitely die! Although the brothers are not raised by a mother, and they are not of the same heart, his nephews and nieces are pitiful!

Since the court meeting has always been a brocade guard, Yuan Fang was originally going to enter the column after arriving, but who knew that Zhu Di, who was sitting on the throne, was sharp-eyed, and stretched out his hand to summon him. After asking, he sneered thoughtfully, waved his hand and let him stand aside, and ordered someone to call Zhang Yue, but he didn't ask a superfluous word, just spit out a simple sentence: "Okay, you are very good." ”

Seeing that the emperor nodded slightly, Haishou next to him signed up one by one, and Jin Yiwei took a person more than ten steps away from the emperor in accordance with the order, and was interrogated by the Son of Heaven one by one. Most people knew that the conspiracy had been revealed, so they simply poured out everything they knew, and one of them resolutely denied it with luck, but was ordered by the furious Zhu Di to take off the Jinyi guard and die with a cane. Listening to the earth-shattering scream, no one dared to deny it again. Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, who was in the first place at the bottom right of the Son of Heaven, gradually became almost unable to stand, but he couldn't find anyone who could intercede for him, so his face was almost as white as paper.

"The celebrant and eunuch Huang Yan!"

first knelt in the Qianqing Palace for a long time, followed by the twenty boards, and then was left in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace. At this moment, kneeling on this cold and biting snow, Huang Yan only felt that his whole body was frozen, and his gums trembled up and down and couldn't even speak.

Zhu Di was wearing a thick coat, a blanket on his knees, and a person composed of brocade guards to block the wind, so instead of being cold, he felt hot at this time. In the face of this most trusted confidant eunuch, he did not let others question him on his behalf, but at this time he actually pushed the handrail and stood up, letting the blanket fall to the ground. He also ignored the fact that there were ministers of civil and military affairs on the left and right, pointed at Huang Yan's nose and scolded: "Old thing, I have always believed that you use you, and the blessings you have enjoyed for so many years should be enough, and you are still so dissatisfied!" ”

"Your Majesty, old slave...... The old slave really didn't know, this was completely in the name of the old slave, the emperor Mingjian! Although he saw that as long as the person in front of him denied it, it would be the end of the cane, but Huang Yan still thought that he was different, so he struggled his last bit of strength and kowtowed again and again, "Although the old slave is friendly with King Zhao, King Zhao Chitose has always been timid, how dare he make the old slave do such a thing......"

"Enough! Meng Xian, bring Meng Xian up! ”

At this moment, everyone except the Son of Heaven is in their hearts. Seeing that the pale Meng Xian was dragged up by the arms of the two brocade guards, even if he had always hated his ambition, Zhang Yue had to admire that tenacity.

After being so badly injured and kneeling in this cold snow for so long, he was still standing!
