Chapter 18 Section 18

"Actually, I've said so much just now, I've basically told the secret." She said. I looked at her suspiciously. She explained: "The secret I hide is the evidence that Huo Guang framed the King of Changyi back then, that is, the letters between Huo Guang and Bing Ji, Zhang Anshi, Tian Yannian and other treacherous officials. In fact, over the years, whether these evidences have been released or not It doesn't matter. Anyway, it is impossible for our king to come back to life. Although he regrets passing away, it may not be a good thing. Otherwise, living in the world and facing these dogs every day will only be sad."

"How can these evidences be in your hands?" My heart was pounding.I know that discussing such things is not enough to atone for killing a hundred heads, but I can't help myself because of my strong curiosity. She said: "Actually, our king discovered that something was wrong on the way from Changyi to Chang'an. The emissaries sent by Chang'an, Liu De, Bing Ji and other treacherous officials, kept a close watch on our king along the way, as if our king was not going to Chang'an. He is the emperor, but he is recruited by the car. Our king listened to the suggestions of several confidants and sent his cronies to contact the son-in-law of Guangling King Liu, hoping that if he was controlled by Huo Guang in Chang'an, Guangling King would be able to take the identity of Emperor Wu's own son outside. Raise an army to attack. Among the people he sent was my sister Li Hui."

"After arriving in Chang'an, our king found that things were as he expected. Huo Guang'an was surrounded by cronies, and every move had to be approved by Huo Guang. He didn't look like an emperor. Our king was so angry that he secretly deployed his confidant guards to prepare for the seventh day of July. Huo Guang was beheaded on the Qiqiao Festival, but the news leaked unexpectedly. Huo Guang took a bite back and deposed our king with the empress dowager's edict. Although our king also obtained some evidence of Huo Guang's rebellion before, it is a pity that the army is insufficient and the success is on the verge of failure. He was caught without a fight. He gave the evidence to me and my ex-husband before, and asked me to escape and hand it over to the King of Guangling. However, Huo Guang had already prepared for it. The road to Guangling was densely packed with checkpoints. We couldn't reach it at all, so we had to sneak back to our hometown first. Xiaqiu, play by ear. My ex-husband died from the arrow wound he suffered during the arrest, and after he ascended the throne, I knew there was nothing I could do, so I finally cooled my mind to go to Guangling again."

I suddenly thought of something, and interrupted her: "A few years ago, Huo Guang died, and his relatives were all punished by the current clan for treason. Why do you still have to arrest you today? The evidence for deposing King Changyi has no effect on the present." "Oh, you are still immature, thinking things are always so simple. Think about it, since Huo Guang supported the establishment today, and the reason for supporting it is that the King of Changyi was promiscuous, and since the facts have proved that the King of Changyi was wronged, then Can this king's ascension to the throne be justifiable? How can this king tolerate this happening? What's more, he was born among the people and has a humble status. Being an emperor is completely a blessing, so he is naturally very sensitive."

I suddenly realized that the world of men is so complicated that it is really chilling.I took a breath and said, "I understand. Two years ago, King Guangling rebelled and committed suicide. His slaves were imprisoned as county magistrates, including your sister Li Hui. After two years, Li Hui was exposed to be married to King Changyi. There is also a relationship, after torture, you were finally involved, so today I issued an edict in a hurry to arrest you. Isn't it?" She nodded and said: "Your judgment is good. In fact, I never thought of distributing those documents related to Huo Guang. Those things are a thing of the past. I have lived to be sixty years old. Can't I see it? But they I don’t think so. Well, since the edict was issued to reward me, I just took the opportunity to help my Tanger. As a mother, I can still play this role when I am dying, so I can die without regrets. .”

"Have you thought it through?" I looked at her calm face, feeling sore in my heart. Maternal love is really great, just like my mother. Although I did such shameful acts, my mother always stood by my side.She admired my father very much, but finally admitted that my father was wrong in marrying me to the Wang family.It is impossible to understand how difficult the mother's acknowledgment was without understanding the mother's feelings for the father. "Of course. Don't even think about it." She looked indifferent.But Chen Hei began to sob sadly again, and while sobbing, he blamed himself for being poor and boring, which actually caused his son to be imprisoned and his wife to sacrifice her life to save her son.I tried to distinguish his cry from his cries, to the effect of such a small content.But the last few sentences are a bit fresh, he said, without his wife, he himself doesn't want to live anymore.

I finally had a sore nose and tears welled up in my eyes.I can imagine Chen Hei's feelings at the moment. He was physically disabled and no one would marry him, but a woman fell from the sky to be his wife when he was nearly forty years old, and this wife is not comparable to ordinary country wives.She used to be the prince's personal maid, elegant and bookish, quick-witted and open-minded, and gave birth to him a clever son. Although that son was a little naughty, he always did some things that violated the law because he was unwilling to live in a lowly position all his life. things.He has been with this woman for more than thirty years, and they have been friends with each other. With her, he discovered the warmth of the world. Now that she is determined to leave him, how can he not break his heart?However, if this is not the case, and their son must die, what choice can he make if he chooses one of the two?Even if he wanted to choose, how could his wife give him the chance to choose?All he can do is face the moment of parting from life and death.

Li Zhongfu comforted Chen Hei in a soft voice: "Don't cry, I'm too old to be embarrassed in front of guests." Chen Hei suppressed his crying, and said forcefully, "If you tell me not to cry, I won't cry. I always listen to you. But this time..." His shoulders shrugged. Li Zhongfu said: "Don't be self-willed, it's getting late, let's discuss business matters with Le Jun."
