Han Zongmin looked at the knife in his nephew's hand and sweat dropped from his head.
It was very difficult for him to speak, but he still said: "No... I already know I was wrong! Aren't you always in the house? If not... how could I leave the house?"
Han Siyuan chuckled, and then asked: "What's going on with your nine sworn brothers?"
What's going on?
"They are from all over the world. How did you select and make friends with them?" There is no rule at all. "Moreover, this is not a random encounter. You deliberately made friends with them. Uncle, what's the reason? What's so special about them?
Do you have any contact with them? For example, Qian Liu, he is a private salt dealer. If you want to provide salt to the southwest, wouldn't you first find out who is stronger and make more comparisons? Why just go to him directly?
Falling in love with Qian Liu? Before that, you didn’t even know what Qian Liu did!”
Very strange! Perhaps it was because Han Zongmin was still young at that time, had little experience, had few available people, and was not thorough enough, so the attentive Guo Wei discovered the clues.
According to Guo Wei, Han Zongmin initially asked people to ask around for a man named Qian Liu, instead of asking about private salt dealers. Among them, there happened to be a Qian Liu who was more temperamental.
This is very strange!
What is so special about this person? How did he know that this person was special?
Han Zongmin took a deep breath, just for this reason, "I just happened to hear such a name in a wine shop..."
Before he finished speaking, the dagger came over and was placed on his neck. He felt a slight pain in his neck and something flowed out.
Han Siyuan stretched out his other hand and touched his neck to show him.
There is blood on the fingers!
Han Zongmin felt an excruciating pain at that time, and he was afraid that it would kill him if he felt it even more deeply. He hurriedly said: "I say! I say!"
explain!
Han Zongmin said: "When I was young... when I was still young... there was no Da Chen at that time... your grandfather was accompanying Taizu to conquer the world... At that time, it was spread everywhere that Taizu was a god.
Coming into the world...At that time, your father and I didn't see your grandfather very often...That is to say, in the winter of that year, the snow was extremely heavy. The roads were blocked and we couldn't go out to fight, so we saw a little more. But my father mostly
In the Marshal's Mansion at that time... Your father and I were often taken to the Marshal's Mansion to play... That day, in addition to your father and I, there were two brothers from the Lin family, the eldest princess, the Holy Emperor and the late Emperor.
... Your third uncle and the late emperor of the Lin family were a little younger. They got tired after playing half way, so they were taken to sleep by the eldest aunt... who was later the empress dowager. I, Lin Keqin, the eldest princess, and the emperor, we
Playing hide and seek...
That day, I hid in Taizu's study, hiding under the curtains. It was dark inside and the ground was warm. I fell asleep... When I woke up again, there was only a flame in the charcoal basin in the study.
It seemed like someone was burning something and left in a hurry... I wanted to see if some of the servants were secretly burning uncle's things... I went over and picked up two pieces of paper from the brazier. There weren't many names on them, just
So many... I originally hid it to coax other people to play with it, saying it was a heavenly book or something... It was just a small thing, just out of curiosity... Anyway, I left two pieces of paper... But after I went out, next to the uncle
His entourage said, 'Little ancestor, why did you go to the Marshal's study? No one is allowed to go to the Marshal's study except the mistress and the second and third masters...'
Only then did I know that it must not be a useless thing that the servants burned. On the contrary, it must be very important. Just like my father would burn every time he received a letter from his uncle, because it was too important to remember it.
Then it was burned in my mind. I didn’t dare to say anything, so I kept it. But later, I discovered that the ministers in the dynasty rarely matched the list on the fragment I got... It was only occasionally, because
When someone from the Southwest tribe was buying salt privately, I heard a similar name. As you know, the accent in the Southwest is very different from that in the Central Plains. I'm not sure about the pronunciation they pronounce... That's why I asked people to look for it. Sure enough, it's called
I found Qian Liu... and this name, this person is indeed there! I'm afraid you don't know, Qian Liu and your grandfather are actually about the same age... Many of the names in it are about the same age as Taizu. I found it later
They are all just their descendants... There are just a few special ones. The person I am looking for is obviously very young. I suspect that I have not found the right person. Like Guo Wei, like Liu Zhiyuan... After all, there are too many people with the same name in the world.
It’s not necessarily the case that the one I’m looking for has died a long time ago.”
Why must we find these people?
"Taizu killed a lot of people back then, and the killings were inexplicable. This was completely different from his later lenient policies! There must be a reason for this! The only thing I can think of is...the people he killed were all Taizu
Those who felt that they were a threat to him and the world. The list that was burned was probably... Taizu gave up killing after careful consideration! Does that mean that these people are actually capable people?
"
So that’s it, “Is it because I found out that the people on the list really exist…that I became ambitious?”
yes!
"Then do you know that Taizu burned the list and just pretended that these people did not exist, and then the world would be peaceful! If you dig out the people again and deliberately make friends, not only will you become ambitious, but you will also release their ambitions.
Ambition! Do you know what they will do once they sense danger? You also know that they have people around the same age as your grandfather. So with your age and status, who would be willing to befriend you? "
Han Zongmin laughed out loud, "Cao Cao once said, if there is no one in the world, I don't know how many people will be called emperors and how many people will be called kings. After the death of Taizu, the capable ones intend to call themselves emperors and kings. What's wrong with that?
?Yes! The world has a great leader. When he was alive, no one dared. But he is gone! He has no son to inherit the throne, the court is uneasy, the world is in turmoil, and he has some thoughts of proclaiming himself king and emperor. What's wrong? If not
Link Yong wakes up, and the Holy One and your father can free their hands... Otherwise, the Holy One will always owe the two old princes an explanation! They will be tied up in the northwest and southwest. As long as the Central Plains is in turmoil, who says I have no chance?
?Looking back now, it seems that I was stupid! But in fact? If you go through it from the beginning, you will find that there is a chance! It was just a little bit...it was really just a little bit...Emperors in ancient times were not perfect.
, compared with them, am I any worse? If God is willing to give me a chance, I may not be able to accomplish anything. I didn’t lose to people, I lost to the time of heaven.
In fact, to this day, I still can’t figure it out! Why? Why can a living dead person who has been lying down for more than ten years wake up? He even wakes up as soon as he wakes up, with almost no impact at all? To tell you the truth, I checked everything
In the medical books, I was surprised to find no such case.
Where did things go bad? It started after Link woke up! This is simply inexplicable! The damn ones came back to life, so everything has changed. Imagine if Link and his daughter died
What would happen? Just imagine, what if Emperor Wu Zhao’s legitimate son, the current prince, had died of injuries and a high fever back then? If they all died like this, what would the Holy Father have to explain to your grandfather and the others? What would he have to do?
Account to the world?"
Han Siyuan stabbed his shoulder with a dagger: "Do you have any contact with the Zhao family?"
What does this mean?
Han Siyuan stared into his eyes, "Who told you that Silang almost died from a high fever?"
Han Zongmin was stunned for a moment, ignoring the pain on his shoulder, and just looked at his nephew with complicated eyes.
Han Siyuan sneered, "Of course you had contact with the Zhao family on the surface back then. Therefore, Guo Wei never said that you had anything to do with the Zhao family. But apart from the involvement on the surface, what about secretly? Secretly! Shiro was injured.
There are many people who know about this matter. But the fever persists and almost kills me. This is sealed! Where did you know about it? "
Han Zongmin tightened his lips and said nothing!
Han Siyuan used the dagger, and the other party groaned. He raised his hand, and the knife struck the other shoulder with luck. The knife stirred the opponent's flesh and blood, and the other party groaned in pain, and his teeth
They fought up and down but didn't make a sound.
His heart sank little by little, "I believe now that the injury on your arm was caused by you yourself! Everyone thought you were weak, timid, and cowardly, but I didn't expect that you could still be so tough.
.But the more stubborn you are and the more you say nothing...the more it shows that you are deeply involved! Very, very deeply..."
Before he finished speaking, the door was kicked open from the outside.
Han Siyuan's face was splattered with blood, and his hand was still holding on to the dagger. The dagger was still stuck in Han Zongmin's shoulder. The two of them were very close, and now they both turned to look at the door.
His face turned pale at this sight.
Standing outside is the old prince.
Han Siyuan quickly withdrew his hand and knelt down with a thud. He kept kowtowing, telling his grandfather that seeing this scene, he deserved death! It was the greatest cruelty for an old man to see his descendants killing each other.
Why did you go through so much trouble to bring the person out? You just didn’t want your grandfather to know!
His heart clenched, "My grandson deserves death!"
Han Maojie's voice was very calm and he just called his grandson: "Get up."
Han Siyuan stood up and supported Han Maojie: "Grandpa, please go back! Leave this place to your grandson."
Han Maojie shook his head and just looked at his son: "Is what your nephew said true?"
Han Zongmin's tears suddenly fell down, "When my son was young, it was really an accident that he got that piece of paper! When my son grew up, the court was in chaos. I didn't think there was anything wrong with my ambition! But later... later
Time has not given me, and I have already stopped. I am also afraid of those sworn people who come to make trouble, so I ask Xiangye to associate with them. This is the peace of mind! Some of them are already old, and some are just young people.
I didn’t find anything extraordinary about you...I knew I was wrong!”
Han Maojie asked him: "What's going on with the Zhao family? Why don't you tell the truth?"
"The Zhao family hopes that we will support Taizu's bloodline. I have a position on this matter. Is it wrong?"
So, your nephew is right about you! Are you involved in many things happening in the Zhao family?
Han Zongmin said nothing and acquiesced!
"After returning to Beijing, have you still contacted the eldest princess?" Han Zongmin's lips twitched a few times, then fell silent again.
Han Maojie turned his face, looked up at the Buddha, and asked, "What else is there?"
"The Zhao family has two orphans, and they were entrusted to their son! The son raised them in the Yi village. The two children are still young..."
That's all?
Yes! That’s it.
Han Maojie clasped his hands together and looked at the intertwined light and shadow of the Buddha statue against the backdrop of the torch. After a long time, he turned around and personally untied the rope for Han Zongmin. Han Zongmin breathed a sigh of relief and quickly knelt down: "Father!"
Han Maojie slowly took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve and said, "It hurts! This is painkiller."
Han Zongmin was stunned when he received it. He looked at his father in astonishment.
My father had turned around, slowly knelt on the futon, clasped his hands together, and muttered something.
Han Zongmin looked at the porcelain vase and his hands shook uncontrollably. His father had never believed in Buddhism. This was the first time in his life that he saw his father kneeling before the Buddha.
Why don't you kneel down at other times, but kneel down at this time?
He looked at the porcelain bottle again. Is the medicine in this porcelain bottle really analgesic?
No! It's not a pain reliever! It's a poison.
This is his biological father! Do you want to kill him?
Why? Why!
He gripped the porcelain bottle tightly, and a dagger slowly slid out from his sleeve. Gritting his teeth in his heart, he raised his hand and stabbed it.
Han Siyuan was paying attention to his grandfather, but he felt something was wrong. He turned around and saw his face changed drastically. Without hesitation, he stood in front of his grandfather and reached out to grab Han Zongmin's wrist. He could throw the person away with just one force, but
Unexpectedly, a hand with sharp bones was suddenly placed on his waist. Just when he was about to throw Han Zongmin out, this hand threw him out.
"grandfather--"
Han Maojie threw his grandson away and did not dodge the dagger in his son's hand!
Han Zongmin was wrestling with Han Siyuan just now. He couldn't hold back the strength at all. He barely gave him any time to react. The dagger was inserted into his father's chest without any bias, and a stream of blood spurted onto his face.
superior.
He saw his father smile, then raised his hand and held it in his hand that was still holding the dagger: "Son, that's painkiller!"
Han Zongmin's lips couldn't help trembling. At this moment, he understood. His father did it on purpose, deliberately releasing his suspicions. He was testing himself to see how rebellious he was.
If you are suspicious and take the medicine and are willing to die, you will be imprisoned and will not be free for the rest of your life, but you will not die.
If you have changed your mind, then...
Han Maojie smiled: "A father cannot kill his child... My son, a father cannot bear to do it..."
As soon as Ke'er made a move, there was no chance of survival anymore.
Han Maojie smiled with great relief: "Son, my father has been fighting abroad all his life, and I have rarely disciplined you! The time between you and me as father and son is very short. If the son does not teach, it is the father's fault. A big mistake has been made, and my father and you
Accept the crime together! On the road to hell, I will be your father’s companion..."
"Daddy - daddy -" Han Zongmin couldn't help murmuring.
Han Siyuan almost went crazy, shouting: "Pass on the imperial physician - hurry up and pass on the imperial physician -"
The imperial doctor didn't call, but Han Zongdao and Han Zongjing came.
The two of them came with their father, but when they came in, their father didn't let them get closer. When they got closer, they saw this scene.
Han Maojie held Han Siyuan's hand and looked at the second and third children: "My Han family has this Qilin son. I will die with no regrets. The Han family was only a small family in the past. In troubled times, my father had to meet his adopted brother.
, we are so lucky to have today. All of us, the descendants of the Han family, must be loyal! This loyalty is not loyal to one person, but to the world! As long as you are a wise king, you must not be disobedient. If you are a faint king, you must not be foolish and loyal! Taizu's early years
I have left a message behind. If the person who comes after you is not kind, there is no need to force it...I will leave these words to the descendants of the Han family. This is the family motto——"
Han Zongdao hugged his father and cried loudly: "It's not worth it! Dad - it's not worth it!"
"I'm a father, and it's worth it for any child..." After saying that, he warned again: "Tell the saint that I will be buried in the imperial mausoleum without any extravagance! Tell your third uncle, tell him to take care of himself. I want to talk to my eldest brother.
Let's be alone together, don't be in a hurry to see him!"
Han Zongdao hurriedly said: "Wait! Wait! Mr. Qingniu is just outside the city. He will be here in a moment! Come here! He has already sent a letter to the East Palace. Tongtong's medical skills are excellent..."
No need! I know how many more breaths I can live. "...This life is worth it to me! After this trip, I have made it clear to my elder brother. I have no regrets!"
After saying that, he looked at Han Zongmin: "Son, I would like to follow my father... you and I have plenty of time..."
Han Zongmin looked at the blood on his hands, and fiercely took the dagger that his nephew had left on his shoulder, and then smiled at his father, "Dad - I am willing to go with my father -"
After that, I wiped my neck!
Han Siyuan went over and shouted: "Uncle—Uncle—"
When I touched it again, I found that the person had no breath.
Han Siyuan cried: "Uncle is gone - uncle is gone -"
When he shouted, everyone looked this way!
Han Siyuan turned around and looked over, and saw his grandfather's hand slowly hanging down: "Grandfather—grandfather—"
"Daddy! Daddy!"
This is what Tongtong and Fourth Master saw when they arrived.
She was stunned!
Why is this so? Why is this so?
Han Siyuan's tone did not fluctuate and he told the story completely. He knelt beside the old prince and became numb: "Grandfather didn't ask about the eldest princess again..."
The old man probably doesn’t know what to do!
The fourth master discussed with Han Zongjing and Han Zongdao: "The old prince should send him to the imperial mausoleum to bury his soul! It is only said that the uncle died of a sudden illness... the old prince suddenly lost his son, and passed away in grief!"
Yes! That’s all I can say.
"Mrs. Yang and Mrs. She lost their husbands... they saw through the world of mortals, voluntarily became a monk, and sent Mingcuishan to practice with the fairy girl..."
Just hide this scandal in the royal family!
Both of them nodded, this was a suitable treatment. Tongtong secretly ordered Guo Wei: "For those people who are sworn friends and friends, you quickly bring the guards there and take them into custody secretly! Be reasonable and don't make the city full of trouble. They should be less careful with you.
, it is most appropriate for you to go at this time. Once things are done, you will be of great use."
yes!
Guo Wei quietly exited.
Tongtong looked at Liu Zhiyuan who was standing not far away, "You go to jail and stay out for a while."
yes!
Liu Zhiyuan also retreated.
Tongtong looked at his back and looked away, telling him to stay there for now and not saying anything later. This man is unruly and if he is not useful, he should never come out.
All taken care of!
Several people personally supported the spirit and sent the person to the imperial mausoleum.
Lin Chongwei pushed away the person who was supporting him, walked over step by step, and then knelt beside Han Maojie, "Second brother?"
The person lying down didn't say a word and just lay there quietly.
Lin Chongwei's hand rubbed back and forth on the bloody clothes, "Where is it injured this time?"
Han Zongdao knelt beside him: "Third uncle, father has gone!"
Just as he was talking, Emperor Wen Zhao arrived, Lin Keyong arrived, people from the Han family, people from the Lin family, and the princes and princesses all arrived.
Lin Chongwei waved his hand: "Don't even come in! Get water and cleanse yourself."
The queen withdrew, and one person fetched water, while the other lit the fire. Emperor Wen Zhao personally picked up the bucket and poured water in bucket by bucket.
Lin Chongwei called out: "The prince will serve you in court attire! The second brother wants to wear it for the eldest brother to see."
Link went to get it himself, knelt down and held it above his head.
Blocked by a screen, Lin Chongwei personally washed himself and changed into clothes. Lin Chongwei's voice could only be heard outside, "Second brother... this scar has faded. This is the time of the Yuzhou War. You blocked it for me."
The one left by the knife... It's so deep, I remember seeing the bones at that time... It was left behind when I blocked an arrow for my eldest brother... In the southwest these years, the humidity is high, so it hurts! Every time I ask
, you are all talking hard. It must be hurting! Especially the injury on the knee, I have to bear it even if I get on the horse. Oh, my second brother, why don’t we catch up with the good time? It would be better if we caught up with it.
At that time, we also planted a peach tree. When the peach blossoms bloomed, we would have a drink with my elder brother in the peach grove, and the children from several families would play around the forest. That would be great! Unfortunately, we were born at the wrong time and caught up in troubled times.
There is nothing we can do. You said these bastards have encountered a better world and can't live a good life, so why are they messing around? You must be angry, second brother!"
The people kneeling outside were crying uncontrollably.
It took a long time before Lin Chongwei came out. The coffin had already been placed in the imperial mausoleum. Now, the children and grandchildren worked together to place the person in the coffin.
Lin Chongwei sat in front of the mourning hall. Han Siyuan went over and explained the whole thing in a low voice, then cried sadly: "It's all my fault! Third grandfather, it's all the grandson's fault."
Silly words! What does it have to do with you?
Lin Chongwei touched the children's heads heavily, then beckoned them all to come closer. He first looked at Emperor Wen Zhao, "Well done, Taizu was right to leave the world to you!" Then he looked at the Fourth Master.
He Tongtong: "Come here, come here."
Fourth Master and Tongtong walked forward on their knees, and Lin Chongwei said: "You must start well and end well! If you start well, you must have a good ending."
yes!
Tongtong raised his head: "Grandpa... don't rush to say..."
Lin Chongwei waved his hand, "No words! Tell me to finish."
Tongtong couldn't say anything anymore.
Lin Chongwei waved to the Han brothers to come to him, "Your father left. He chose the path he chose. He doesn't blame or blame anyone."
Yeah! I know! It’s just sad to know.
After explaining to the Han family, he looked at the children and grandchildren of the Lin family, "Today, in front of the Holy Majesty and the Prince, I have to finish what I have to say! Future generations must remember that loyalty is the foundation of the world.
People's loyalty and righteousness should be righteousness for all people in the world. The king who betrays the people and abandons their will must be abandoned!"
Please keep this in mind!
That's fine! Lin Chongwei waved his hand, "Get ready for the funeral! Keep everything simple. Don't worry about me. I'll talk to my second brother later."
yes!
The old lady of the Lin family took the stove and handed it to him: "I will move in with you later."
Lin Chongwei patted the old lady's hand and said, "Go back to the house and lie down. The funeral is going to be tough. You should take care of yourself."
good!
The old lady turned around and walked away. Lin Chongwei was sitting on the edge of the coffin like a sculpture. Tongtong could still hear his low chatter at first, but gradually it became inaudible.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she quietly passed by. As soon as she arrived, her heart went cold. She couldn't feel any breath! She raised her hand and touched it, and she found that the person was gone.
She knelt down with a thud: "Grandfather—grandfather—"
On this day, both old princes passed away. They were not born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but they died in the same year, the same month and the same day.
