"Beast, kneel down." Lis face suddenly changed and he shouted sharply.
Seeing that his grandfather was really angry, Li Xu was dissatisfied, but Bai Shanxiao took the lead, so he could only kneel down.
Seeing the stubborn look on his grandson's face, Li Si sighed and said, "Xu'er, do you know why you haven't seen your father?"
Li Xu's expression suddenly showed doubts...
"You'er, was...beaten to death by my palm..." After Li Si finished speaking, it was as if all his strength had been drained from his body, and he suddenly became much older.
Li Xu was stunned when he heard his grandfather's words. After a long time, he could no longer control his emotions, and a teardrop slipped from the corner of his eye.
"Hahaha, it's so funny. This is so funny. Hahaha, my father is grandpa's biological flesh and blood. Tiger poison cannot eat its seeds. How could grandpa beat his father to death? Grandpa must have lied to me. It must be..."
Li Xu cried and laughed, obviously unable to accept his grandfather's sudden words.
Looking at his crazy grandson, Li Si Lao burst into tears and said: "It's true, Xu'er, you must learn to be strong and face the cruel reality."
"No, grandpa, tell Xu'er that you lied to Xu'er, right? Xu'er is not afraid of dying on the battlefield and having his bones buried in the wilderness. Isn't this true?" Li Xu knelt down and crawled to Li Si's feet, pleading.
He looked at Li Si, hoping that this was just a farce.
"Your father is obsessed with power, colludes and rebels, is unfaithful, unfilial, and unkind. You must not kill this traitorous son. Your father is my grandfather's only son. Grandpa Xu'er can't bear it, but he has to do this." Li Si was heartbroken.
He was also angry at his failure to live up to his expectations and sad at his misfortune. His mood was extremely complicated.
"Your Majesty forced Grandpa?" Li Xu stood up, looked directly at Li Si, and said in a cold tone.
"Xu'er, don't do anything stupid. Although His Majesty didn't say it explicitly, he did mean it." Li Si saw the dangerous look in his grandson's eyes and immediately persuaded him.
"Grandpa has served your Majesty all his life and made countless contributions to the Qin Empire. Could it be that your Majesty doesn't miss the past at all and spares my father's life? To avoid the death penalty?" Li Xu asked in a cold and affectionate voice.
"The most ruthless and unjust person in the world is the emperor, and the most cruel and dark person is the imperial palace. Xu'er, you are still too young to know all the dangers in the world..." Li Si lowered his voice a lot.
"Grandpa, since this imperial family is so ruthless and unjust, why do our Li family still have to work hard for it? Why don't we just resign and go into seclusion." Li Xu had calmed down, and his expression was indescribably depressed and lost.
Li Si shook his head and said with a complicated expression, "Grandpa can't do this?"
"Why? Could it be that grandpa can't let go of his position of power? Are you willing to live in the shadows all your life?" Li Xu asked puzzledly, his voice revealing a complicated question.
Li Si shook his head again and said sternly: "Grandpa has been ups and downs in officialdom throughout his life. He has reached the limit of being a minister. Most people will never be able to reach it in their lifetime. What attachment is there?"
"Then why grandpa refuses to go into seclusion..." Li Xu was even more surprised and puzzled.
"Your Majesty gave the problem to Grandpa back then. Although he meant to kill your father, he also gave your father a way to live. It's just that in order to gain His Majesty's trust, Grandpa had no choice but to kill the family members out of justice." Li Si recounted the events of that year to Li Xu.
Read it again.
After Li Xu heard this, he felt cold all over. He looked at his grandfather in disbelief and said, "Is His Majesty's trust really more important than his father's life? Is my grandfather still the grandfather Xu'er knows?"
"I know Xu'er that you will hate grandpa, but it's not too late to listen to what grandpa has to say." Li Si seemed to have returned to his old appearance two hundred years ago.
Li Xu opened his mouth, but finally said nothing. He really didn't know how to say it. The grandfather in front of him felt very strange to him. Is this the kind and amiable grandfather in his memory?
"My grandpa has been in officialdom for almost his whole life. He has been in high positions for a long time and has held great power. I don't know how many people he has offended. As long as grandpa remains in court for a day, those people will only respect our Li family and fear us."
"But once grandpa loses power, they will be like maggots attached to the bones, hungry wolves will pounce on them, and kill all our Li family, and the whole family will be destroyed..."
"So the Li family cannot be powerful, and Grandpa cannot lose His Majesty's trust, otherwise the annihilation of the family is not far away!"
"Son, my grandpa has enjoyed all the glory and wealth in his life, and it would be no pity to die with an old bone. But you are still young, and all your clan members are innocent."
"If you were grandpa, what would you do? Your father is grandpa's only son. He killed You'er himself, and grandpa was devastated. But even if it happened again, he would still make this choice."
"My fault...why don't you listen to your father..." After Li Si finished speaking, there was no trace of him like the all-powerful prime minister who ruled the country. Instead, he was an old man who lost his beloved son and cried bitterly.
"Grandpa..." Mr. Li Xu's tears flashed and he said in great pain: "Xu'er understands grandpa's pain and his good intentions. Let him let the past go!"
"Do you really think so? My child, your father is indeed dead. Don't do stupid things like your father. Grandpa, you are the only close relative in the world!" Li Si was very pleased to hear Li Xu's words, but he was not satisfied.
Don’t worry, I couldn’t help but remind you to confirm.
"Don't worry! Grandpa, one day my grandson will be the leader of the Li family for grandpa, so that grandpa can enjoy happiness." Li Xu said with a slight smile.
"Good boy, grandpa is waiting for that day to come. But you must always remember that your majesty is kind to grandpa, and he is also kind to the Li family. Whenever you follow your majesty's footsteps, you will not make mistakes, and you will be able to
Guarantee the benefits that the Li family deserves." Li Si pointed out to Li Xuyi and said with good intentions.
"My grandson understands that the interests of the Li family are established under the royal family, and the glory of the Li family is bestowed by His Majesty. My grandson will remember my grandfather's words closely." Li Xu said with great seriousness.
"Okay, as long as you can think so, grandpa will be relieved." Li Si said with great relief.
"Grandpa, the front line is in dire straits and we have suffered heavy losses. How many months will the imperial court go without reinforcements? Although the empire is constantly moving, it can be easily suppressed by the power of the Black Nightmare Army without any effort at all." Li Xu frowned,
The front line was mentioned again.
"Xiang Yu, Marquis of Dongtian, is arrogant and arrogant. He has violated court laws many times. It would be a good idea to suffer a little. It would be a good idea to polish off his arrogance."
"As for Han Xin, the Marquis of the West, he is also a man of gold and jade, but his appearance is humble and courteous, but in reality he is just fishing for fame and unruly."
"Even Beitian Hou Mengtian and Nantian Hou Wang Ben, who are unparalleled in loyalty and have been favored by the emperor, dared to privately occupy the imperial palace's spiritual mines for the benefit of the family. It was understandable in the first place, but they dared to be shameless and blatantly applied to His Highness.
Rewards, this is unimaginable when Your Majesty is here, it is like forcing the palace, it is treason." After Li Si finished speaking, his face was full of anger.
"The four princes hold heavy troops. His Royal Highness has a gentle personality and does not have the majesty of His Majesty. This is not too surprising." Li Xu thought about it. He was in the army and saw and heard a lot.
.Naturally, I quickly analyzed the key.
"Your analysis is very thorough. It wouldn't be surprising if that's all. But it's far more than that. Some of them have close contact with the person in the palace. This is a huge taboo." Li Si said this,
His face was also very solemn.
"What?" Li Xu was startled, and his expression changed drastically.
"My child...you must have never heard anything grandpa said today, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous." Li Si warned again and again.
"My grandson doesn't know anything, what did grandpa say?" Li Xu said with a puzzled look, and then smiled.
Li Si looked at Li Xu with satisfaction and said, "A boy can be taught."
"Grandpa, it's just that the enemy is facing us now, so doing this is not in the interest of the empire, and those brave and loyal soldiers are all innocent!" Li Xu thought about it for a while and said worriedly.
"The soldiers are indeed innocent, and all four of them are peerless generals. Some individuals cannot represent them all, but they do need to be beaten and intimidated." Li Si said meaningfully.
"But if we let it go, something big will happen over time!" Li Xu said still worried.
"Child, don't worry! The sky of Great Qin will not fall, and the imperial court is not that stupid and incompetent. If it were not for the ultimate weapon of the US federal government, the Star Guards, even if all four legions rebelled and surrendered to the enemy, they would not be able to topple the sky of Great Qin." Li Si
Be confident.
"Is the Black Nightmare Army really that strong?" Li Xu couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and asked.
"It will only be stronger than you think, not weaker. Except for the Black Nightmare leader himself, not even His Highness the Prince and Grandpa know the specific strength. However, the Black Nightmare Army accounts for eight percent of the Great Qin Empire's annual military resources.
Ten, there are only 5% of the four major legions, and only 1% of the main troops in various places are supporting the defense." Li Si smiled mysteriously and said that he assisted His Royal Highness in completing all military and political affairs throughout the country, otherwise he would not be able to know this exact number.
"Grandpa, it's only 86%? Where's the rest?" Li Xu did the math and suddenly wondered.
"The remaining legions were all secretly trained by Your Majesty to prevent the embarrassing situation caused by the four major legions today. Your Majesty is really a wise man, as if he had expected it." Li Si smiled slightly, and couldn't help but think of His Majesty, showing respect.
color.
"But no matter what the reason is, if you let it go, it will eventually chill the hearts of the empire's soldiers and the hearts of the entire world." Li Xu mentioned this topic again, hoping to get the court to pay attention to it through his grandfather.
"Without the imperial court, facing the enemy's national strength, even if the strength of the four major legions were doubled, they would have been defeated long ago." Li Si had a look of contempt on his face, obviously very dissatisfied with the behavior of the four great princes.
"What does grandpa mean?" Li Xu's heart was stirred up by Li Si's words.
"As early as the 257th year of Emperor Qin's reign, Grandpa and His Royal Highness Prince Li Changqing, the leader, Taiwei, and Yushi Zhongcheng personally formulated the Longteng Tianyu plan, with Commander Black Nightmare as the commander-in-chief and the Black Nightmare Army as the vanguard. His Majesty secretly trained
The 5th, 6th, 7th, and 84th legions were the main force in a surprise attack on the administrative star of the U.S. federal government, Niu Yue Star."
"As for the weeding plan in the empire, it is just a cover-up. Otherwise, how can a few reckless aliens make waves? If the imperial court had not ordered the local star monarchs to stand still and wait for the opportunity, those reckless desperadoes would have been killed long ago.
It is extinguished and extinct.”
"Furthermore, we just received the latest military information last month. The enemy's Tenth Fleet has been completely wiped out. The Black Nightmare army is overwhelming, connecting dozens of stars and approaching Niu Yue Star. In a few days, these barbarians from outside the territory will withdraw their troops and get out.
The territory of Great Qin, rushing to support their country." Li Si dropped a bombshell with a proud look on his face. (To be continued...)
