Summer wraps autumn, water keeps wind

Chapter 116

It was already early in the morning, the morning sun was reflected in the mist, and a layer of dew was hanging on the vanilla Zhilan.Everyone stayed up all night without sleep, and at dawn, the ministers picked up their wives, helped each other out of the palace gate, and boarded the carriage one after another to go home.

After a long night of fear, Li Hewan did not expect the situation to develop in this direction. Like a dream, Prince Yi, who was still in power last night, is now being searched by himself and placed under house arrest in Chitai.Li He was still a little flustered, but fortunately Guard Xu and Guard Lin returned to the palace, and Panchitai was surrounded by heavy troops, so he felt a little relieved.

He changed into his normal clothes, walked around the Zichen Palace three times, and asked someone from the school affairs office to come in and ask again. He confirmed that all the soldiers and horses outside the city were recruited as usual, and there was no problem at all. The soldiers' amulets were also checked carefully. , I didn't see anything wrong.He frowned, he really didn't know what happened in the fasting palace at that time, and there were rumors that the father and son were against each other.

On the bright side, what Li Jihui said was that the king of Weiyi committed an injustice, and the gods of Chu land condemned him. The two elder brothers were killed by the general disaster. Chu Wu was willing to rein in the cliff and hand over the military talisman, but only begged the Holy Master to spare the lives of the family.

Bi Xin never believed in these things, but somewhere, he always felt that something was wrong. It didn't seem like he was setting up a plot, but it seemed that there was something different hidden behind him.

Panchi Terrace was only slightly repaired when it was first listed. The scenery and objects in the palace are a bit old. The old palace is dim in color. Only the various herbs and flowers in the flower garden are well planted, which makes the garden not so lifeless.

Lifting his foot into the palace garden, Bi Xin first saw that the middle of the yard was covered with two white cloths. The person who just died last night hadn't had time to pull them out, and now martial law has been enforced for another four weeks, not even half a sparrow is allowed to enter or leave at will.He glanced at the corpse in the courtyard, his heart still sank, but he went outside the hall without thinking much.

"emperor."

He raised his hand so that he didn't have to report back, he assigned a group of most trusted attendants and eunuchs to guard the place, as if he was deeply afraid that something would happen.Bi Xin put his hand on the palace door, paused, and pushed it open with his own hands.

A ray of light entered the hall, the main hall was empty, and the furniture and furnishings were still the same as before Li Ji entered the palace.

As if hearing the sound, someone in the inner hall murmured, and then said: "You are here, sit down."

Li He hurried over to answer.

"Back to the emperor, the slave guarded carefully, it's all good, Lord Yi didn't hurt himself."

Bi Xin nodded, waved Li He down, and all the attendants saluted and left.He raised his eyes and saw Liji sitting cross-legged on a futon with his eyes closed and recuperating, with a crooked bun and a red auspicious suit on his body.

Liji opened his eyes when he heard the footsteps approaching, and saw Bixin's expression of joy and sorrow, holding Fengxiangran in his hand, standing there staring at him.

"You, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Bi Xin stretched out his hand to help Liji.

There was a slight smile on Liji's lips, his uninjured hand was placed on the other's, he turned over, and then went to sit on the couch.

"say what?"

"For such a big situation, if you had thought about it a long time ago, why didn't you tell me clearly? I don't have any quarrel with you, so I won't be so worried."

"What does Your Majesty think the subject is thinking?"

Bi Xin tried his best to squeeze out a not-so-forced smile, and said to Li Ji: "Of course it's for the sake of the people of the country, and the relatives are killed in righteousness."

"Your Majesty really thinks so?" Li Ji grabbed the walnuts on the small table and started to plate them.

"After this time, although the military power in Chu is gone, the title is still there. I still want to keep you in the capital. I believe you."

Liji looked at the doubt and anxiety swimming in Bi Xin's expression, then smiled slightly, and stared into his eyes.

"Bi Xin, do you really believe in me, or do you want to stabilize me?"

"Jin Fan, you are always so smart that I can't see through you."

Bi Xin smiled back, his face turned cold, and he straightened his sleeves.

"You set up such a big game, and ended it in such a hurry. What are you planning? If you don't explain it today, how can you make me feel at ease?" Bi Xin's expression returned to normal, but his words became more sharp.

"The minister's plan is nothing but the justice of heaven."

"Justice?" Bi Xin frowned.

"Kill to pay for life, pay for what you owe, it's as simple as that."

"But your method is inappropriate, isn't it?" Bi Xin said with some coldness in his eyes, "Besides, this shouldn't be something you should do."

"Your Majesty, what kind of status do you think the ministers are, and what shouldn't they do?" Li Ji looked playful.

"A minister should not force the emperor, a son should not coerce his father, and a younger brother should not kill his brother. This is the most common truth, Jin Fan, you should not understand it." He pressed Feng Xiangran with his hand and stroked it. The teacup said leisurely.

"But the minister has his own reasons. The ruler and his father and son are the people's reason, not the minister's." Li Ji said without any panic.

"But you did this without authorization. What do you take me for? Is it a pawn in your arrangement? If you do this, you won't be afraid that I will kill you to prevent future troubles?" There was a trace of murderous intent in Bi Xin's eyes.

Liji looked at the person across from him showing suspicion, so he told the truth.

"Bi Xin, you have been afraid of me for a day or two. I don't fight with you because I can't fight you, but I don't want to fight with you. I know you don't believe me at all, but my family background is there, you have to Fang, what you did is not wrong, and I have my reasons for doing things. But in the final analysis, Wang Bixin, you and I are not the same people."

Seeing that Bi Xin's face became even uglier, Li Ji continued: "So, I don't need to tell you my plan, and you can't understand it. It's just adding trouble. Do you think I'm afraid of death? Of course I am, but now I'm Your life is yours, not mine, so I don't have to worry about it."

Bi Xin stared at him for a long time without answering, he looked respectful, his strength of character was still the same, he already had sharp brows and stars, and he felt more angular than when he first entered the palace.

"You set up such a big game for your own reasons, threatening and persecuting everyone, do you know what you are doing?" Bi Xin shook his head repeatedly with a slightly anxious voice.

"For you, you have taken over the authority; for me, I can get justice; for the world, less life will be spent. There is nothing wrong with this, I think it is great."

Liji plated the walnut, looked at his hands and smiled.

"Those ministers are going to write a letter to kill you, and kill your whole family!" Bi Xin put his palm heavily on the small table, glared at Liji, and said, "Not one or two, but many, many, including those who were separated from the Yi family before." Very close minister."

"They still wanted to kill Liufu, so what?" Li Ji didn't care.

"They have a political stance on Liufu, and they have personal anger on you."

Bi Xin took a deep breath and said: "I know you don't care, you always have your own reasons, but I really hate the way you are now, why do you have to live as a lonely family?"

When Bi Xin said this, he turned his face away to sort out his emotions, he didn't want to get angry with Li Ji.

"Don't you think so? People in the world can't understand my heart, and I don't bother to argue with them. I don't live for others. Whether they praise or depreciate, let them do it. Wherever my heart goes, I have my own way." Expansive." Li Ji smiled at Bi Xin and said, "It's you who can't let go too much."

"The burden on me is so heavy, so naturally I can't relax, I'm used to it."

"Sometimes the responsibilities you impose on yourself have exceeded what you should bear. Although you don't mention it, many people and things are in your heart."

Bi Xin was silent for a long while, before saying: "You live too transparently, and you never give others excuses. Even if someone admires you for your conduct, you only dare to communicate with each other as lightly as water. People like you are too smart, and you are too smart to be compared with this world. How can I keep you with peace of mind if you are stupid and confronted with each other?"

Liji's hand stopped for a moment, and he smiled at him: "Didn't you ask me why I insisted on intimidating you? You still remember that when I first entered Beijing, you secretly gave me a big blow, but now, I will give it back to you. "After that, he closed his eyes and continued to coil the pair of walnuts.

Bi Xin looked at him, shook his head and sighed bitterly: "Don't you understand what I mean?"

"Yi Liji, I've been talking to you so much just to find a reason to keep you, and you really don't want to live?"

Bi Xin pointed at Li Ji and said in a hateful voice: "I must kill you to make you happy, right? You are like this, how should I explain to the people involved? It is rare to say that all this is for the sake of 'justice of heaven'" A word? This can be kept in the history books, but how do people in this world dismiss it? They won’t believe it, they won’t understand it, and they won’t let you go!”

"Yi Liji, Yi Liji, you only want to be gods together!" Bi Xin was so angry that he lit the incense table and teased him.

Liji's expression was calm, and he only said: "You don't need to embarrass me, I have already betrayed my relatives, and the thing I want to do the most is to get out of here earlier, I am really suppressed enough."

Bi Xin calmed down his anger, and tried his best to ask in a gentle tone: "Then what wish do you have? I've said it, and I will try my best to help."

"One is that my father committed these crimes and should be punished. I beg you to let him redeem his sins in front of the Buddha for the rest of his life and save him a way out. The second is that my younger brother is young, so please don't make things difficult for him. The third is"

Liji paused for a moment, then changed his way of saying: "Third, those who have suffered enough repression like me, if you want, you can let them go."

Peter nodded.

"Liu Funa, don't worry, Li Pao has joined him, send someone to pick him up now, he misses you very much."

When Li Ji smiled, Bi Xin felt a little embarrassed, he pretended to cough and said: "He still said these things?"

"He won't tell, but I know."

"The matter in Jiangnan has been dealt with almost, and it's just right to come back now. I should thank you for this matter."

Liji continued to coil the walnuts, and looked out the window with that smile.

"We're leaving now. What I'm most reluctant to part with are the birds in that yard."

"There's still a maple leaf left in Liufu, I'll keep it for you, it's just right to hold your walnut." Bi Xin put down the maple leaf in his hand and got up.

After he left the inner hall, Li He followed.

"You just come back and take care of it, and let someone more reliable watch over it. You go and prepare the medicine, it will be less painful, and when Fu'er comes back, go and deliver him."

He glanced at Pan Chitai behind him, brushed off his sleeves and left silently.
