Jiangning City was shrouded in the darkness, and a few dog barking came from an alley, followed by a tick knock on the door.
A small door creaked open, and a voice said: General Wong and General Ma, why are the three of you visiting at this time?
The person who spoke was Lin Renzhao. There were three big men standing outside the door, all of whom were cloth robes without hats.
The bearded man named Wan Yan in front of the station said: This place is not a place to speak.Lin Renzhao suddenly said: Three brothers, please come in and ask.
Lin Renzhao introduced several great men into a room. He knew these people, all of whom were military generals of the Southern Tang Dynasty’s imperial guards, including Ji Yan, Ma Chengxin and Ma Chengjun.
As soon as Ji Yan entered the door, he sat down in the chair carelessly. Another person walked to the back window and stood on tiptoe and looked outside.
Huangfu Jixun was killed, can Brother Lin know?Liu Yan spoke.
Lin Renzhao nodded vigilantly.
Wan Yan moved his butt, sneered and said: The person we arranged.
After hearing this, Lin Renzhao immediately saw that the eyes of Wan Yan and others changed greatly. You and I were just indifferent friends, but General Wan told them about such important matters!Huangfu Jixun's dereliction of duty and a country is a crime of death, and death is not worth cherishing. Why should General Lu and other brothers do it yourself?
Ji Yan shook his head and said: If we don’t kill, Huangfu Jixun will not die!
Lin Renzhao looked unbelievable and was stunned for a moment.
Ji Yan glanced at him and said, "I have found out clearly about the quarry battle. Huangfu Jixun is not enough to defeat him." Putting the country in danger is a disaster if he doesn't kill him!It is hard to comfort the dead soldiers and brothers in the battle formation without killing them!
Lin Renzhao agreed deeply, but then said: Huangfu Jixun is a general, and Brother Ji and others destroy him, and I am afraid the court will blame him.
Wan Yan said: Brother Lin dares to tell the truth in the palace, wouldn’t he be blamed by His Majesty?
The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Lin Renzhao felt a little sympathetic for a moment, so he sighed and complained with several big men, saying that he could be together.
After talking for a long time, Wan Yan said seriously: It’s time to talk about the important things tonight.Although we are guilty of killing Huangfu Jixun, we will not be worried about our lives.There are many people involved, and the law does not blame the masses; in addition, Huangfu Jixun should have deserved to die, so the court killed us because of this, which is suspected of refusing Huangfu Jixun, which will arouse dissatisfaction among many people... But Brother Lin is different. We have received reliable news that someone will come to arrest Brother Lin early tomorrow morning.As a general, once you are humiliated by a pen and a clerk, the consequences will be worrying; not to mention that your advice in the hall is disrespectful.We all concluded that once Brother Lin entered the prison, he might not be able to come out again.
After hearing this, Lin Renzhao was shocked and angry and said: Your Majesty will not kill Huangfu Jixun, but instead want to kill me?
Ji Yan sneered and didn't answer.
Lin Renzhao thought about it carefully, and he also felt that this kind of thing should be the reason for the power struggle, but he really couldn't understand what was going on for a while. He didn't understand why the country was in danger of destruction at the time of defeat in the Quarry Campaign, so why there were still such and such battles.
At this time, Ji Yan said: Brother Lin will leave tonight. The one guarding the south gate is our brother, and it has been arranged.
Lin Renzhao clasped his fists and said: Lin appreciated the kindness of brothers such as Brother Wan.But I can't leave, my family is still in Jiangning Mansion, so I can't ignore it.
Brother Lin’s family should not worry about his life, and he should be considered as a cruel person.Wan Yan said, ...or Brother Lin doesn’t believe what I said?
I don't want to escape like this, otherwise why would I come back? Lin Renzhao said directly without too much explanation.
After hearing this, Ji Yan stood up and said: Since that's the case, it's useless for us to stay, so let's say goodbye.Brother Lin takes care of himself.
Lin Renzhao said goodbye to his family that night, and after taking a shower and changing clothes, he could not fall asleep all night, waiting for the trial of the imperial government.
The next morning, several eunuchs and a team of imperial guards came, and the order was announced to let Lin Renzhao go to the government office.
He was ready to provide detailed information on the ins and outs of the quarry battle, and when he was responsible for the loss of his army, he also wanted to let people understand the fundamental reason for the defeat.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered a prison, several big men suddenly rushed up, kicked Lin Renzhao to the ground, and then put on anklets and bracelets on him, and beat him up without asking any questions!
He shouted: I am a general of the Imperial Guard, who has convicted him?A soldier can be killed but not humiliated...
His shouting only attracted a contemptuous ridicule, and heavier punches.
He was beaten half to death and threw him into an iron cage.
Half awake and half unconscious, the iron door opened again and two people came in, grabbed Lin Renzhao's hand and pressed it in a wet and cold box, and pressed it on a piece of paper.
Lin Renzhao was still clear at this time and immediately understood: This was the end of the interrogation...
There is a general outside, and as soon as you enter here, you are even worse than a dog, and you will die in a dark corner in a frustrated manner.
After resting for a while, Lin Renzhao felt pain all over. Finally, he recovered some strength and sat up. The shackles on his body were heavy and he still couldn't move.
At this moment, the iron door opened again and a black shadow walked in.
He stared at the shadow blankly, knowing that refuting and resisting are useless now.
Black Shadow opened his mouth, but the familiar voice of Liu Yan: Brother Lin, do you believe what I said now?
Lin Renzhao was speechless and finally came to his senses for a long time and said in surprise: How can Brother Lu enter here?
Liu Yan's voice said: The court has formed a party, but the loyal and righteous people have not yet died.Now we are trying our best to keep the only loyal and upright people.
Lin Renzhao shook his head in the dark and sighed: At this point, I am discouraged and have nothing to do... It is better to die to avoid hindering the family in the capital.Brother Mu, please leave here quickly.
There was a silence in the dim light, and Wan Yan said: Even if Brother Lin is waiting to die, his family may not be at ease.
Lin Renzhao immediately said: What big mistake did I make?Is it not enough that Your Majesty kills me, but you still have to implicate your family?
Wan Yan said: If Brother Lin is worried about his family, waiting for death here is no different from escaping... Maybe it is better to escape. The court did not catch you, but instead was unwilling to touch Brother Lin's family easily.
Lin Renzhao was silent for a long time.
Ji Yan urged: It’s not too late, Brother Lin makes a decision early, this is your last chance.After leaving the city, Brother Lin can flee south first to the old land of Fujian. At this time, Jinling was threatened several times and could not take action to search the south.
……
Lin Renzhao ran away!
When Li Yu learned the news, his face was as white as paper... What made him afraid of was not the threat Lin Renzhao would run away, but how did he run away?
Lodged in the death prison of the Tianzi of Dali Temple, it was as easy as entering his own door. How did he run away!
Lin Renzhao is not alone. There is a force behind him, which regards the prestige of the country and the dignity of the court as nothing and tramples on it at will!
A feeling of powerlessness, a kind of humiliation, a big stone, like a quilt, covered Li Yu's face.He couldn't breathe or had chest tightness, and felt that there was darkness in front of him, and he could not see anything or a way out.
King, what's wrong with you?Zhou Xian walked out from behind the bedroom and asked in surprise when he saw Li Yu's devastated look.
Li Yu seemed to be a drowning man who grabbed the life-saving straw and suddenly lay on the ground, holding Zhou Xian's leg tightly.
Zhou Xian was shocked and bent down to pull him up, but Li Yu held him tightly.
Zhou Xian had no choice but to kneel down and said anxiously: Master, you are so unpolite. If someone sees you, how can you live?Get up first, say something slowly...
Zhou Xian now brought comforting words to Li Yu hug him tighter.His emotions were almost broken, everyone was forcing me, they all wanted me to die!
Zhou Xian hurriedly said: King, you are the most powerful person in the entire Southern Tang Kingdom, and no one dares to force you.
Li Yu shook his head desperately, tears and snot came out, rubbing against Zhou Xian's skirt.
He choked and said: It's useless!The Zhou army is about to invade, I am about to destroy my country... No one below listens to me. They are all vain and have their own plans in the mainland. They just wait for me to roll off the throne and take revenge... They hold their breath and wait for that day to humiliate me, laugh at me, and trample on me!I'm about to lose everything, nothing I can trust, Ehuang, you are the only one left...
...When Zhou Xian heard this, she didn't persuade Li Yu, and she was stunned.
She was originally depressed and numb, but suddenly she became a little self-conscious... She couldn't help but think, when a person has no one to care about and care about, what else is left? What's the point of living?
The vows between Li Yu and those who rely on each other came to my heart.
Zhou Xian suddenly became very gentle, with bright eyes full of love and indulgence on his pure and white face. She stretched out her trembling hand and placed it on Li Yu's cheek: Husband, I understand your feelings.
After Li Yu was excited, he was a little cold. He was stunned for a while and said: I know you still hold a grudge against me...
Zhou Xian said: Everyone makes mistakes, I forgive you.Can you forgive me...that infidelity?
Li Yu climbed up from the ground at this time and said: I still care about what I do, my situation... Ehuang knows.
I have said that what I care about is not that kind of thing, as long as we make up for the cracks in our hearts.Zhou Xian's emotions also fluctuated. He grabbed Li Yu's palm and looked at his face and said, "Your Majesty, you are no match for Guo Shao, the situation in the Southern Tang Kingdom is beyond help."You surrender!
Li Yu widened his eyes: Surrender?
Zhou Xian said: There is no other way. If you surrender now, you may be able to get the tolerance of the Zhou court. Look, the king of Shu, Meng Chang, is fine... If we don’t be kings, we don’t want power!
Li Yu reached out and patted his robe, sat on the chair, and said quietly: Then what do I have left?
Zhou Xian chased after him and said: You still have me.I know what you think, but I feel that I can't keep me even without power.Don't worry, I know Guo Shao's character quite well. He won't force it, nor can he make any mistakes; otherwise he wouldn't have let me come back before.As long as I persevere, I will never abandon my husband and ignore him... Do you believe me?
A small door creaked open, and a voice said: General Wong and General Ma, why are the three of you visiting at this time?
The person who spoke was Lin Renzhao. There were three big men standing outside the door, all of whom were cloth robes without hats.
