Chapter 249 The traitor is Lu Qian
Chapter 249 The traitor is Lu Qian
The sound of the short boots hitting the ground was very clear. It was obviously the footsteps of a martial arts master.
One step after another, steady and powerful, accompanied by the clatter of heavy chains, still gives people the feeling of walking on flat ground.
The footsteps were long and compact, although slow and steady, approaching step by step. As the iron gates opened, Lu Qian saw the sun for the first time in months.
The long-lost sunshine suddenly hit his face, stimulating him to shed a few tears.Lu Qian closed his eyes, and after his eyes adapted to the dazzling light, he slowly opened them.Following Eunuch Xi who led the way, they walked towards the imperial city step by step.
Lu Qian wore a shackle around his neck and a chain on his feet, and was escorted by about twenty strong guards around him.
Along the way, Lu Qian, the former leader of the East Palace guards, kept his head lowered and silent. He knew that it was Emperor Mingguang who wanted to see him.
A series of "dang rang ding rang" made a loud noise. The group arrived at the Qinzheng Hall where Emperor Mingguang had his office. They stopped in front of the hall and Eunuch Xi entered the hall to deliver a message.
But Lu Qian remained silent, and just knelt on his knees with a "thump", staring blankly at the figure of Emperor Mingguang in the palace, with many unknown emotions in his eyes.
Emperor Mingguang didn't look at him, he just wrote a few pages of calligraphy with his pen and ink.
Li Deshun, the chief eunuch, knew that the Holy Emperor was angry, so he winked at his godson Xiao Xi.
Father-in-law Xi got the hint from his godfather and understood that this meant "be calm and don't be impatient", so he suppressed his anxiety and knelt down steadily.
A group of people knelt down and cheered in and outside the palace. Lu Qian looked at His Majesty the Emperor with even more intense eyes, while others did not dare to express their anger.As time passed, the atmosphere in the hall became colder and the needle drop became more and more audible.
It wasn't until after two cups of tea that Emperor Mingguang finished writing the last stroke. He put down the imperial pen in his hand and relaxed his wrist.
The chief eunuch took the opportunity to give His Majesty a gentle towel to clean his hands, and then made a gesture. The attendants in the palace were overjoyed, knowing that everything was okay.So, those who washed their hands, those who put away their pens and ink, those who served tea... filed in and out.
By the time Emperor Wei Xi finished his tea and sat down, it had been half an hour since Lu Qianchu first knelt down.
"I remember that you were the one who entered the East Palace when I was still in the dormitory. Your family was in ruins at that time, and the whole family followed you to practice martial arts. When I saw you at that time, you were all skinny. You only had one pair of eyes, showing a lot of energy. ." Emperor Mingguang looked out of the hall through Lu Qian, and saw a pair of long eyes without any ripples.
He seemed to be looking at him, and also seemed to be looking at another person through him, and said to himself, "When my father was still alive, he often told me, 'A dragon has its regrets.' Late Emperor, I always examine myself, neither arrogant nor impetuous, and treat others with sincerity. I feel that I am extremely tolerant towards the people around me, and there is nothing I can't do to you."
When Lu Qian heard this, he burst into tears. He hesitated to speak several times, but finally bit his lip and swallowed the words that came to his mouth.
"But there are still so many people who rebel because of the lack of popular support!" When Wei Xi said this, he really got angry. In a fit of anger, he swept all the stationery on the desk and the calligraphy to the ground.
"Ping ping ping pong" the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and washed pen holder fell to the ground. Black ink, white porcelain, and red cinnabar were mixed together, making it sticky and dirty.
Just like the human heart in the eyes of Emperor Mingguang.
"Your Majesty! I am guilty! I am unworthy of the princess, unworthy of the prince, and even more unworthy of your majesty!!!" Lu Qian shouted at the top of his lungs and kowtowed to the end. After that, there was no sound or movement.
Lu Qian just hunched over and knelt on the ground. After whimpering a few times, he remained motionless and never made a sound again.
After a moment, Supervisor Li realized something was wrong and bravely stepped forward to push Lu Qian.This sturdy nine-foot man actually fell to one side when he pushed him.
The hall fell silent, and Superintendent Li felt Lu Qian's neck for pulse.
Finally, he sighed, fell to the ground, and loudly announced, "Your Majesty, the guilty will kill themselves."
Emperor Mingguang seemed to have felt something. He sat on the dragon throne, rubbed his temples, and slowly waved his hand, "Let's give him a grand burial."
