The hall is so quiet that one can hear one's own breathing. There is a fine silver charcoal burning in the charcoal basin. Occasionally, there is a slight sound, which makes the hall more and more silent.

Zhang tingxiao quietly looked at Ling Di, who was silent, trying to see something from his thin face full of wrinkles.

For a long time, Ling Di slowly opened his dim eyes and fell on Zhang Qiling with a calm look. He said in a deep voice, "you have made a big mistake. You should have been exiled in the frontier. Gu Nian, for the sake of bringing back Xuanji's mother and son and offering advice, you should have done better. Get up."

Hearing the speech, Zhang Qiye said in a hurry: "father, this merit is due to the past, and the past is due to the past

Ling Di's eyebrows trembled slightly, and he looked at Zhang Qiye as if he didn't know him. For a long time, he suddenly laughed, "did you hear that? After a trip to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, our second Highness has made a lot of progress. It's really a farewell day. We should look at him with new eyes. Second, according to your meaning, he's going to drive fourth out of Xiangyue city. He's your brother, Don't you have to bear it? "

Zhang Qiye saw Emperor Ling's praise, which made him more energetic. He ignored the look of Zhang tingxiao's emissary. He said: "the emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Although he does not give up his fourth brother to suffer from the pain of the frontier, he has national laws and family rules. How can he ignore the law and discipline just because he does not give up."

"Good! Good Ling Di nodded slowly, his chill flowing silently in his eyes. "I really have a lot of insight. Just in time, I can't make a decision about some things. Why don't you help me?"

Ling emperor's exaltation, makes Zhang Qiye flattered, excited way: "please father emperor command." Although he ranked second, no matter his family background or ability, he could not be ignored, and praise was rare.

"Good." Ling Di sipped a cup of tea and said, "some people are greedy for beauty. They seduce married women. They even order people to plunder beautiful women and keep them in private houses. One of them, a woman with a strong temperament, died of a collision with a pillar. He didn't take any warning, but ordered people to be buried hastily and still had fun. Many days later, the family of the dead woman found clues and came to the house to ask for help, but was killed The woman's husband was disabled and unable to walk. He hanged himself in grief and indignation. Two people died because of him. Second, what should I do with this flower luster? "

Zhang Qiye's forehead is already sweaty. It's unimaginable that Ling Di has already known what he's doing, but he's been putting up with it all the time. If he answers "deal with it according to law", I'm afraid he'll have to take it in.

Ling Di looked at Zhang Qiye, who was kneeling on the ground and shivering, "didn't you say that just now? Why didn't you say it again?" He slapped the table and yelled, "say it!"

"My son knows his sin, and asks for mercy from his father and Emperor." Zhang Qiye was so scared that he repeatedly kowtowed, just like pounding garlic.

Ling Di sneered, "just now, I firmly said that there are national laws and family rules. How come it's your turn to be generous? Second, that's fast enough. "

Zhang Qiye's face turned pale with fright. He didn't dare to answer a word. He just kowtowed again and again and said something wrong.

Although Zhang tingxiao was angry, he was his own man after all, and he kept it for some use. He said one by one: "my father and Emperor are calm down, and my second brother is confused for a while. Please give him a chance."

"I haven't told you yet!" Ling Di's eyes shot a cold light, "you know that he made such a ridiculous thing, not only don't dissuade, but also help him to hide me together, do you have the elder brother to do this?"

After the man hanged himself, his family found someone to write a paper to inform the government. Zhang tingxiao knew that, after coercion and inducement, he finally ordered them to withdraw and leave Xiangyue city.

Zhang tingxiao suddenly changed his face. He didn't expect that Ling Di even knew about it. When he was thinking about how to answer, Ling Di's cold and harsh voice came from his ear, "can't say it?"

Zhang tingxiao said hurriedly: "the second younger brother did make a mistake, but I don't say much. He was always the brother of Er Chen. Besides, he knew his mistake at that time. Er Chen thought that he should be given a chance, so I've kept it a secret without authorization. "

As Ling Di was about to speak, he coughed. His whole body was askew to one side, just like the fallen leaves in the autumn wind. The palace people came forward to caress his back. It took him a long time to stop coughing and panting.

Zhang tingxiao came forward on his knees and said in tears, "I'll let my father do it. I just hope my father doesn't hurt me for my son. In this way Even when he is dead, he has no face to see his mother. "

Hearing this, Ling Di's cold and fierce eyes were soft. Although there were many concubines in the Ming Palace, they were just tools to carry on the royal blood. Life and death were not worth mentioning. The only thing he cared about was his wife who had been dead for many years.

"Well, it's not your fault." After struggling to say a word, he turned his eyes to Zhang Qiye and said in disgust: "ten days' imprisonment, one year's salary, let's go down."

"Thank you, father!" Zhang Qiye kowtows to show his gratitude. Although he is heartbroken about the salary of that year, he knows that this is the best result.

Ling Di waved his hand wearily, "you all go out." After a short pause, he added, "old four stay."After Zhang tingxiao and Zhang tingxiao went out, Ling Di sat up straight a little, and his eyes on Zhang Qiling were sharp and subtle. "Are you sure you have 70%

Zhang Qiling drooped his eyes and said, "I dare not bully you."

"Good!" Ling Di slowly spat out the word, "I have about a year to live, so I will give you a year. In a year, as long as you can hold down the Northern Zhou Dynasty and conquer a country, even the weakest Yan country, I will pass the throne to you; but if you can't..." His eyes suddenly a cold, word by word tunnel: "punishment is not just exile lianjiang."

Zhang Qiling heart a Lin, meet Ling emperor's gloomy eyes, solemnly way: "son minister obey!"

Outside the hall, Zhang Qiye kept complaining as he walked, "brother, do you think Father Huang is ill and confused, and he actually believes Laosi's lies? What proton, what suppression of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, is a lie he made up in order to get rid of his crime. Full thought that this time can pull out this thorn in the eye, the result unexpectedly let him give to escape, really thought all come to anger Then he said: "brother, this matter can't be settled like this. We have to hurry..."

"What's the hurry? Can you let your father scold you more?" Zhang tingxiao cold voice interrupted, he had a stomach gas, partial Zhang Qiye has been chattering, more upset.

Zhang Qiye was stunned, "of course not."

"Shut up if you're not!" After passing by the palace people, Zhang tingxiao gritted his teeth and said, "if you hadn't been greedy for flowers and lust and made such a ridiculous thing, how could you have been taught by your father to be speechless? Even I was scolded. This time I would have been killed by you." After that, he left with a brush of his sleeve. He didn't want to see Zhang Qiye again. The latter rushed to catch up with him and said, "I didn't expect that my father would know about junniang..."

Zhang tingxiao cheered angrily: "I didn't expect it. I'm afraid there are more things you didn't expect!"

Zhang Qiye also knew that he had made trouble. He said with a smile, "I've been much more restrained after Jun Niang's incident. Don't be angry, elder brother." Seeing that Zhang tingxiao didn't care about himself, he begged again: "big brother
