Chapter 208
The marshal spent two years in the East China Sea and finally cleaned up the nest of demon dragons, but he dug out a "Fusang sacred tree" and had to find out the reason, so he delayed his return to Beijing.
If this were to be put before, it would be possible to scare the little emperor to death, as if there was no marshal at his doorstep, and he would not be able to eat this food.
However, since he went to the dungeon to interrogate the prisoner, the weak and sharp figure in the past, His Majesty, who had never dared to look at the sharp objects, became an "iron-blooded king". Not only was he no longer afraid of being afraid, he seemed to have understood what it means to be "no poison, no husband" under the guidance of a death row prisoner.
Over the years, Your Majesty has forced the Ministry of Justice to punish severely and misdemeanors. He especially loves all kinds of crazy tortures. He also abandons the etiquette of Qiu Zhan Dongzang and is sentenced in the market all year round. Basically, as long as he is sentenced to death, he will basically not see the sun tomorrow.
For this reason, Lord Chang, who had always been upright and forbidden to be distorted by the rituals, entered the palace with a clear heart, but finally died on the pillar of the palace. He made a speech with death but failed to touch the emperor who had been numbed by the indifference.
After Lord Chang left, all the civil and military officials in the court fell into a lifeless silence.
Everyone has seen it thoroughly that this emperor has really lost the value of assisting.
In the second year of the marshal's expedition, more than half of the old ministers of the previous dynasty returned to the country. The old ministers who refused to give up the dynasty and left there were also loyal and kind-hearted people who came to the palace to give advice or indirectly attacked, but most of them were either demoted or innocently imprisoned and tortured, and then died with hatred.
Situ Cheng hoped that the peace between the two tribes that Yi Chen Zhui had not been realized, but all the original possibilities and hopes fell apart in Yi Chen Zhui's eyes.
In the third year of the marshal's expedition, that is, the year when he handed over a letter to return to the court that he had eliminated the chaos but had to delay his return to Beijing, the overseas country was stable, but the Central Plains was completely in chaos. Lizhou, which in the past symbolized the stability and prosperity of the Great Li in the past, was the center of all chaos.
Good ministers in the court either retreat or demoted or died. The newly appointed ones do not say they are incompetent, but can only be called violent, manic, arrogant people who despise their lives.
The new order has only been implemented for two years, and the number of people in the capital has dropped sharply by half. Even the small crime of stealing but only three cents is enough to be sentenced to Lingchi. Under torture and suppression, the people have indeed become much more honest. However, as long as there is still a sober person, it can be seen that this calmness is just a calming storm. Under such pressure, it is only a matter of time to collapse.
In July of the same year, Miss Situ married Prime Minister Lu Yanzhi, and regretted that the marshal who had originally agreed to come to accompany the gift was far away from the sky and could not come to congratulate the gift in person.
It is true that the moon is full of phases, and if there is no defect and it is round again, how can life be perfect? However, this time the shortcomings can never be compensated.
On the Mid-Autumn Festival of the same year, the Prime Minister, who ended a major event in his children, finally passed away before the prosperous era collapsed to the bottom. It happened to be the full moon festival, but unfortunately the full moon shone incompletely.
Finally, a minister who was firm in his heart also left, and there was no central pillar in the court that held people's hearts.
As early as the emperor issued an order to control the law with torture, Situ Cheng would rather give him an official position without hesitation, and then rolled the bedding from his Shangshu Mansion back to his father's prime minister's mansion. Fortunately, the heartless emperor still respected the Prime Minister whom his father asked. Although Situ Cheng was a little annoyed, he didn't care much about it.
Now that the Prime Minister has left, the Situ family has no worries in this capital. Not only is Situ Cheng and Situ Mei also want to fly away, but even Lu Yanzhi, who was originally expected by the Prime Minister and Mr. Zhang, no longer noticed it. This is not only because the court situation is heartbreaking, but also because this situation is definitely not a situation that the Prime Minister hopes or is willing to assist.
The Prime Minister was grateful to Lu Yan for his kindness, and now he entrusted his beloved daughter. Lu Yan was always a gentleman's way. He could not repay this kind of kindness, but only life and death were followed. Now Miss Situ is concerned, so he should be careful to protect him, and his wishes follow the Prime Minister.
This king will not be the prime minister is willing to assist him. No matter how glorious and wealthy he is, he will never be willing to be trashed!
One day after the funeral of the Prime Minister, Situ's family was dressed in Ma Xiao and sent off the servants in the mansion, leaving only the little maid who had been with Situ Mei since childhood and left the capital briefly.
After going to the official court system, the carriages in the prime minister's house were not suitable for common people. Fortunately, Situ Cheng, who has always been down-to-earth, originally had a very simple single-rider bicycle and a good car with less than official qualifications. He generously gave the car that was beyond sight and was able to stand out from the girl's brother-in-law. He was just simple, and he drove the single-ride car and planned to wander around the world.
The two cars were still able to travel together after leaving the capital, so they did not rush to part ways.
Situ Cheng always watches Ding Yang drive the bus on weekdays, and he seems to have seen some things himself, but he is very erratic.
On the other side is Lu Yanzhi who is diligent in driving the car for Situ Mei.
Situ Cheng suddenly realized that his brother-in-law was really omnipotent.
"Where will your brother go on this trip?"
Situ Cheng lazily raised his whip, "Oh, I don't know, wherever I go, it's so big that the world is, it's not a place that can accommodate me."
"If my brother doesn't dislike it, he will come to my cold house in Yuzhou. Although it is not as beautiful as the prime minister's mansion, there is no shortage of places."
Situ Cheng fiddled with the whip in his hand, "Thank you, Brother Lu, for your kindness, but Situ Mei finally got rid of me, a devil brother. If I go to the mansion to bother her, wouldn't she be angry to death?"
Situ Mei was sitting in the car with Duanya, but for no reason he was provoked by the shameless brother. He couldn't help but lift the curtain and whisper, "If you are not as good as me, you will be angry to death by you! Will you still feel wronged when you get into your brother-in-law's house?"
Her words seemed to be a bit unbearable.
When Lu Yanzhi heard this, he turned around and advised in a warm voice: "What does brother mean? You should calm down. When you get home, I will give you some fragrance to cleanse your mind and nourish your spirit - don't ignore it." He persuaded his wife to calm her wife, and then turned around and said sincerely to Situ Cheng: "No matter what your brother plans in the future, my brother will always be his brother's home. Even if you don't need my strength, if you go to Shu, don't forget to come to the house."
"I accepted your intentions. I will definitely find an opportunity to go to Bashu to mess with you."
"Then I'll wait for my brother to grow up."
Situ Cheng saw Lu Yanzhi's gentle, virtuous, considerate and versatile appearance, and indeed felt that he was not a good friend to be a husband.
It’s better to just make do with it, and don’t go to Huohuo’s girls.
But I thought about it again with sadness.
"Situ Cheng!" Situ Mei called him in a big and small way.
"what?"
"You, a literati who is polite with a pen, do not do any dangerous things if you want to go alone, and don't kill yourself outside."
"Hiss..." This time, Lu Yanzhi's virtuous husband, who was gifted by heaven, couldn't help but frown.
Situ Cheng subconsciously wanted to give her back, but somehow he stopped the words of Lin Jiang.
After this farewell, I don’t know when to see each other again. Of course, they are still young. As long as they don’t commit suicide, there will be more opportunities for quarrel in the future - but no matter how much they quarrel in the future, there will be no more dad holding a broom stick to persuade him to fight...
After thinking about this, Situ Cheng's pouting words that came to his mouth left no trace and changed his tactful words: "Don't worry, I will definitely not cause trouble for you and Brother Lu."
He didn't pout back, but Situ Mei's eyes burst into tears.
Situ Mei couldn't say anything anymore, so she covered the curtain of the car and hid the tears that were about to burst out from her eyes.
But when the horse's hooves were in a hurry behind the car, the one who really made the two men turn back was a loud voice: "Sir!"
Situ Cheng leaned over and looked over. Seeing that Yi Chen was chasing him, there was another person sitting behind him.
"Go and go, where did you come from!" Situ Cheng shouted in a whisper of humiliation.
Ding Yang immediately covered his mouth with his silly claws.
This person who drove the car was really lucky to be able to get on the back of the Marshal's Majesty in his life.
The two carriages stopped at the same time. Yi Chen chased the horse and happened to park in front of Situ Cheng's car.
Ding Yang couldn't wait to jump off the horse, carrying a huge bag of unknown amounts of stuff on his shoulder, and came to Situ Cheng, "Young Master, you are running so fast. If you hadn't taken me with me today, I wouldn't have caught up with you."
Situ Cheng smashed his mouth, "Look at what you are calling out, that's the one who is now the adult."
Ding Yang suddenly realized and looked back at Yi Chen and chased him, then he was shocked.
However, Situ Cheng's words did not mean to be sarcastic - although their Situ family was following the trend, Dali and the Marshal's family stood firm. As long as this family did not fall, there was still some hope.
Yi Chen also got off the horse and bowed to the two elder brothers who were driving the car in person.
Lu Yanzhi and Situ Cheng also got off the carriage. However, Lu Yanzhi spoke first: "I'm leaving this time, I don't know when I see you again. Now the situation in the city is chaotic. You must be more careful when your junior brother is doing things in the court."
"Where will you go here?"
"I will return to my hometown with my wife."
Situ Cheng was still idle and said, "I'm not worried about it, just live for a few years. Maybe when will we meet when you go out to investigate the case?"
"If Brother Cheng appears near the case where I investigate, it would be scary enough."
After all, the cases that Lao Yichen has been chasing and investigated in person are basically extremely dangerous and serious cases of evil spirits with heavy casualties. However, in such cases, the scene of the incident has basically fallen into a tragic situation.
Situ Cheng's joke is really not serious.
However, when we returned to the right journey, everyone's mood became heavier. Not only was the scene of parting sorrow, but the things in the city changed and the situation became uncontrollable. Those who have ambition had to restrain their sharpness and protect themselves.
Situ Cheng looked back at the city gate in the distance, felt a little more emotionless, sighed sadly, and finally said meaningfully to Yi Chen Zhuan: "Chen Zhuan, there are so many things in this world that cannot be changed by human power, prosperity does not depend on one person's contribution, decline does not mean that one can leave alone. Now the court you are in has gradually faded what we are familiar with - maybe this is the most real thing hidden under the light of the court..." Situ Cheng stretched out his hand and lightly
Put it lightly on Yi Chen's shoulder, "The current situation is indeed powerless, but as the adopted son of the marshal, you still have a chance to try it out, but no matter what, you must first protect yourself. The water is clear and there is no fish. Everyone hates the darkness, but if there is no such turbidity, how can it set off the preciousness of light?" After saying that, Situ Cheng patted Yi Chen's shoulder, turned and laughed, "I'm leaving, the world is far away, and I'll meet again."
"Young Master!" Ding Yang, who had been silent for a long time, finally opened his throat at the moment when Situ Cheng was about to turn around and run away, causing Situ Cheng to look at him in a blink of an eye.
"What are you doing with me? My mother at home doesn't care?"
"I have my brother and sister-in-law at home, so I sent the silver back. From now on, I, Ding Yang, will still be yours."
Situ Cheng smiled strangely, "Who, are you quite loyal and courageous? Tell you, my son, I am not a first-class person now. Don't be embarrassed to take you to the streets to beg for food."
"Not afraid! I, Ding Yang, will decide you in this life! No matter whether he begs for food or performs his skills, I will be happy to serve the young master alone."
Situ Cheng smiled and shook his head, "Okay, look at your slutty look, I really can't drive you away - I'll drive you the car!"
Yi Chen was really amused by Situ Cheng's natural and unrestrained nature, and said, "Mr. Situ, remember to leave a piece of paper before you fall into begging for dinner. You are not the first-class one, and I am still a third-class one, and no matter how bad you are, you won't ask you to go out to fool people."
Situ Cheng took Yi Chen's kindness and said, "Don't worry, Lord Yi, I finally cultivated you as a financial supporter, but I won't let go even if I kill you. Even if I don't keep anything else, I will definitely leave enough paper to express my sadness and pain to ask you for help."
Situ Mei in the car was also amused by her brother's shamelessness. The two were mixed together, but they became a cry of sorrow and joy.
Two carriages left together, Yi Chen chased him and watched the hoof wheel Qingchen go away. He couldn't see him and then reluctantly checked him. He also turned his horse on his body. The joy that had just been scattered by loneliness.
