Although too often makes Yan Chang admonish in the officer heart, had been fastened hat that confuses the monarch, but in fact he mainly responsible matter is also the view celestial phenomenon, and work of calculation solar terms formulation calendar. 虽然太常使言常在一些谏官心中,已经被扣上了迷惑君上的帽子,但实际上他主要负责的事情也就是观天象,以及推算节气制定历法的工作。 These work truly the brain good person does, every so often looks somewhat mysterious, but Yan Chang usually also little handles some unnecessary things extremely, is that kind of most Buddha department in the royal courtier, will not flatter is not one's turn him to remonstrate frankly similarly. 这些工作确实得脑子好的人来做,也很多时候看起来有些玄乎,但言常平日也极少做一些多余的事情,在朝臣中属于最佛系的那一类,不会谄媚同样也轮不到他直谏。 But water and land Way Conference this matter, as running historian Heaven Inspection Department Main Supervisor, before is advanced the stage, by the emperor inevitably. 只不过水陆法会这种事情,作为掌管太史司天监的监正,必然是会被皇帝推到台前的。 When Heaven Inspection Department this place, some all previous Main Supervisor also truly almost unique elements, observe the celestial phenomenon to spread out four for a long time, day after day year after year, or may comprehend the wonder of some least, Yan Chang like observing the stars same can sense the old beggar's specialness in masters, has this grade of reason in inside. 司天监这个地方,历代监正也确实几乎都有些特殊之处,长久以来观天象衍四时,日复一日年复一年,或可领会一些毫厘之妙,言常如同观星一样能觉出老乞丐在众法师中的特殊,也并非没有这等原因在里头。 But Yan Chang has not thought because the old beggar brings the disaster to oneself, at this time bends down on the ground moves does not dare to move. 但言常从没想到会因为老乞丐给自己带来祸事,此时更是伏在地上动都不敢动。 After the emperor sneers, puts out a hand under the direction. 皇帝冷笑过后,伸手指向下方。 „Historian Heaven Inspection Department Main Supervisor Yan Chang, as well as this old beggar, takes to me!” “将太史司天监监正言常,以及这个老乞丐,给我拿下！” „Yes!” “是！” The emperor orders, the guard sticks out suddenly all around instantaneously, what excel martial skill brings is the outstanding explosive force. 皇帝一声令下,周遭侍卫瞬间暴起,高强的武艺带来的是出众的爆发力。 Shortly the daoist shadow will flash through together, on the old beggar neck in various about latter three direction frames a blade, the neck was encircled in the blade. 顷刻间一道道人影闪过,老乞丐脖子上则在左右后三个方向各架了一把刀,脖子被围在了刀刃之中。 Another two tool rests on the Yan Chang neck, the guard took away jade jade tablet, conducts the back his both hands detains, the entire body in the guard hand is similar, no matter what his child of acting bashful, drew directly. 另有两把刀架在了言常脖子上,侍卫收走了玉圭,将其双手负背扣押,整个身子在侍卫手中如同任其拿捏的孩童,直接拉了起来。 Yan Chang looks deathly pale, the heartbeat plop plop must jump out the chest cavity simply, in the heart full was ‚ended, ended......’ thought. 言常脸色惨白,心跳扑通扑通得简直要窜出胸腔,心中满是‘完了,完了……’的念头。 „Yan Chang, this solitary one asked you, who made you recommend this old beggar? King Wu or King Jin?” “言常,孤且来问你,谁人让你举荐这个老乞丐的？吴王还是晋王？” Two imperial princes look in a terrified way, almost to leave ranks to kneel to bend down simultaneously, almost also protested. 两个皇子面露惶恐,几乎同时出列跪伏,又几乎同时喊冤。 „Son feudal official how dare so treason and heresy! The son feudal official does not know!” “儿臣怎敢如此大逆不道！儿臣不知啊！” This regarding two imperial princes is really the unexpected misfortune, at this moment had a mortal hatred of Yan Chang similarly. 这对于两个皇子而言真的是无妄之灾,此刻更是同样恨死了言常。 „Yeah......” “哎……” Yan Chang closes one's eyes sighs in a low voice, returns to normal the mood to open the eye reluctantly again. 言常闭上眼低声叹了口气,勉强平复一下心情再睁开眼睛。 „Your majesty, is feudal official recommends , there is nothing to do with two your highness, Venerable Lu is really expert, but the slightly feudal official does not know its dares to say the word of treason and heresy in the deliberation hall, the feudal official knows the crime......” “陛下,是臣自己举荐的,同两位殿下无关,鲁老先生是真高人,但微臣不知晓其竟敢在朝堂上口出大逆不道之言,臣知罪……” Cardinal virtues emperor cold snort/hum, looks to this old beggar, seeing him the complexion is usual throughout, particularly is staring at own that eye, the vision is very light, in heart but actually also some inexplicable feeling. 元德帝冷哼一声,看向这老乞丐,见他始终面色如常,尤其是盯着自己的那双眼睛,目光十分平淡,心中倒也有些莫名感受。 „Then you, some people pull strings......” “那么你呢,是有人指使……” After the cardinal virtues emperor stops, hesitant , to continue to say. 元德帝停顿后犹豫了一下,继续道。 „Were you really want to speak just that words?” “还是你真的就是自己想说刚刚那番话？” In the main hall makes way in a both sides master, in some surface first tone peaceful mind uneasy, some somewhat take pleasure in others' misfortunes. 大殿上让开两旁的一众法师中,有的面上平静心中忐忑不安,有的有些幸灾乐祸。 That jade surface monk also among a master, has a look at the old beggar at this time often the senior emperor, muttered sighs one lowly. 那个玉面和尚也在一众法师当中,此时看看老乞丐又往往老皇帝,喃喃低叹一声。 „Meritorious Great Bright King Buddha......” “善哉大明王佛……” The old beggar looks at the cardinal virtues emperor, has not replied his words immediately, but looked at surface such as dying embers Yan Chang. 老乞丐只是看着元德皇帝,并没有马上回答他的话,而是又看了一眼面如死灰的言常。 „Yeah, Sir Yan, the old beggar somewhat does not do right by you......” “哎,言大人,老叫花子有些对不住你啊……” Speaking of this, the old beggar has to look up to the emperor, on the face also shows the smile, but does not have before again , when the first question seriousness and respectful, when is such as goes begging commonly looking down on the world. 说到这,老乞丐才有抬头看向皇帝,脸上也重新露出笑容,只不过再无之前第一句问话时的郑重和恭敬,而是如寻常乞讨时的玩世不恭。 „Your majesty, this matter, all because the old beggar I blustered, no wonder Sir Yan, had nothing to do with several imperial princes, not, if this, died old beggar our place, when also disappeared your majesty air/Qi.” “陛下,此事皆因老乞丐我自己口出狂言,怪不得言大人,也同几位皇子无关,不若这样吧,将老乞丐我处死,也当消了陛下的气了。” Execution? 处死？ Yan Chang now is quite sensitive to this word, then responded that did not say itself, is this old beggar asks oneself. 言常现在对这个词极为敏感,然后反应过来不是说自己,是这老乞丐在自己求死。 Although royal courtier at the same time in the heart has many guesses, such as possibly pulls strings for preserving behind and so on, but actually does not dare in this moment discussion, therefore before the palace , is also very peaceful. 一边的朝臣虽然心中有很多猜测,诸如可能是为了保全背后指使之类的,但却不敢在此刻议论,所以殿前也十分安静。 Senior emperor complexion Yin clear uncertain, is staring at this old beggar stubbornly. 老皇帝面色阴晴不定,死死盯着这老乞丐。 Long time suppresses a few words. 良久才憋出一句话。 „You, if really has the magical powers supernatural power, really has the mystery immortal technique, displays to let take a look this solitary one, so long as is the reality, this solitary one, not only will exempt your responsibility for an offense, will also confer rank and title to reward in you!” “你若真有神通法力,真有奥妙仙术,施展出来让孤瞧瞧,只要为实,孤不但会免你罪责,还会册封赏赐于你！” This saying, in the royal courtier has whish whish the slight discussion of suo suo immediately, Yan Chang also hopeful looks to the old beggar, he sees Ji Yuan to sway the sword dance moonlight, old beggar this saw him to catch a cat, but listened to several expert to talk at that time, as if that cat was also extraordinary. 这话一出,朝臣中顿时有淅淅索索的细微议论声,就连言常也充满希望的看向老乞丐,他见过计缘挥洒剑舞月华,老乞丐这就见到他抓了一只猫,但当时听几个高人对话,似乎那猫也了不得。 However the old beggar is false smile, shakes the head to say. 不过老乞丐皮笑肉不笑,摇了摇头道。 „Does not use, executes the old beggar to be able.” “不用了,处死老乞丐便可。” „You......” “你……” Senior emperor both hands catch dragon arm rest tightly, the body leans forward stern voice and appearance. 老皇帝双手紧抓龙椅把手,身体前倾声色俱厉。 „You when really this solitary one does not dare to kill you to be inadequate!” “你真当孤不敢杀你不成！” The old beggar by three sharp long tool rests in the shoulder, were actually seemed regarding not to have the thing even, both hands were grabbed by the guard, is tilting the head directly is rubbing blade sao itchy of shoulder. 老乞丐即便被三把锋利的长刀架在肩头,却好似视之无物,双手被侍卫抓着,便直接歪着头蹭着刀刃自己瘙着肩头的痒。 Even the nearby guard is flabbergasted secretly brave of in beggar, they grab his hand, true qi search know that opposite party within the body „empty”, is not the martial arts master. 连边上的侍卫都不由暗自咋舌于老乞丐的胆大,他们抓着他的手,真气一探就知道对方体内“空空荡荡”,并不是什么武林高手。 The old beggar rubs itchy, that expression looks at the senior emperor, in the vision even took a pitying color. 老乞丐蹭完痒痒,还是那副表情看着老皇帝,目光中甚至带上了一种怜悯之色。 „95 revering killed an old beggar not to need to take the trouble, your majesty began.” “九五之尊杀个老乞丐就不需要费神了,陛下动手吧。” Because on the emperor old back of the hand of makes an effort with shoot old muscles excitedly, the chest fluctuating anger upwells, this old beggar looked that his appearance made his fire from the heart. 皇帝苍老的手背上因为用力和激动弹起一根根老筋,胸口起伏怒意上涌,这老乞丐看他的样子令他火从心起。 „Hehe...... good! The palace former guard takes orders, immediately promotes Yongning Street the old beggar, cuts, the head, shows, numerous!” “呵呵呵……好！殿前卫士听命,立即将老乞丐推出永宁街,斩,首,示,众！” „Heaven Inspection Department Main Supervisor, too often causes Yan Chang......” “将司天监监正,太常使言常……” Nearby Yan Chang cannot bear shiver, the close sweat seeps out the cheeks unceasingly. 一旁的言常忍不住颤抖一下,细密的汗水不断渗出脸颊。 „Leather goes to the position, infiltrates a day of firmness!” “革去职位,打入天牢！” „Yes! Yes!”...... “是！是！”…… The Yan Chang entire body seems lost all strengths pours softly, two guards put up him to tow toward the palace outside, with the strength of only saving has a look at the old beggar, that person to walk but actually also steady, but was sent under custody to go out of the main hall by several guards. 言常整个身子好似失去了所有力气的软倒下来,两名侍卫架着他往殿外拖去,用仅存的一点力气看看老乞丐,其人走路倒也稳健,只是被几名侍卫押送着走出大殿。 Waits for two „criminal” to be sent under escort, in the palace becomes the elegant bird silent needle to fall may hear, but two imperial princes still kneel on the ground do not dare to set out not to dare to raise the head, they even can feel the line of sight of oneself father sovereign to look at itself. 等两个“罪犯”被押解出去,殿中就变得雅雀无声针落可闻,而两名皇子依然跪在地上不敢起身不敢抬头,他们甚至能感受到自己父皇的视线在看着自己。 „Snort, you two, get up!” “哼,你们两个,起来吧！” „Mr. Xie sovereign!” “谢父皇！” Two people thanking kindness with one voice, setting out time looks at each other one subconsciously, from own brothers looks saw look that one type has a lingering fear. 两人异口同声的谢恩,起身的时候下意识对视一眼,都从自己兄弟眼神中看到一种心有余悸的神色。 But experienced such a, in the palace the other 15 masters somewhat are much trembling, learn from another's mistakes at present, are responsible for the official of other Heaven Inspection Department and Ministry of Rites of matter of Way Conference together, in same core disturbed. 而经历了这么一处,殿中剩余的十五个法师不少都有些战战兢兢,前车之鉴就在眼前,一起负责法会之事的其他司天监和礼部的官员,也同样心中忐忑不已。 The so-called emperor made is not possible to neglect, since were the emperor orders to cut to stand before the palace personally decides, the guard naturally is braces oneself sends under escort the old beggar toward the palace outside immediately the avenue. 所谓帝王令下不可怠慢,既然是皇帝亲口在殿前下令斩立决,侍卫自然是提起精神立刻就将老乞丐押解往宫外大街。 Did not need to wait the noontime, the palace former guard detained personally, a numerous imperial guard followed, is the same like the royal government ministers who detaining committed a crime an old beggar, sent under custody Yongning Street directly. 连午时都不用等了,殿前卫士亲自看押,一众禁军相随,将一个老乞丐如同看押犯事的朝廷大臣一样,直接押送到了永宁街。 The imperial guard holding a spear/gun halberd runs the person to lead the way in the former check. 禁军持枪戟在前方格开行人开路。 „Gets out of the way, do not obstruct the road!
