Chapter 240 For the country and the people, please die
Chapter 240
Imperial City, Chaohua Palace.
"Don't marry, don't marry, don't marry!"
A pillow was thrown on Li Letian's head. He scratched his head. He was hit by an ink stone at his father's place, and a pillow was thrown at him here.
Li Letian rubbed his forehead and said with a smile: "Wan'er, don't get excited. I'll make you happy. The grassland king Hu Yanba is a hero of the Rong tribe. Don't you admire heroes the most?"
Li Waner said nothing and looked at Li Letian with a look that looked crazy.
"It's so good, why don't you get married?"
"That's nonsense. Can I marry you?" Li Letian said, "They only want you. They don't care about anything else like Wanhua or Yule. Hey, who doesn't know that our Princess Mingyu is pretty, well-educated, and the most attractive person?"
like."
That crazy look appeared on Li Waner's face again.
Li Letian scratched his head and felt that his words were not very credible.
"You don't know. The Rong tribe is willing to give three cities as gifts to the empire. They say it's a beautiful city, but a beautiful city is nothing. We, Princess Mingyu, are worth three cities."
"I won't marry, I won't marry, I won't marry. If you force me again, I will hang myself from the rafter."
"The death of a hanging man looks very ugly."
"Then I slit my wrists?"
"It hurts so much to cut your wrists. You can't bear this pain."
"I threw myself into the lake."
"The lake water has swollen you up."
"I, I'm on a hunger strike."
Li Letian looked at Li Waner and shook his head helplessly: "Wan'er, you're old."
"Brother..." The softness in his eyes made Li Waner move.
"When you grow up, you have to do things you don't like."
Li Letian stood up, dragged his robe and left.
"I won't marry." Li Waner shouted at his back.
Li Letian didn't look back, he just said three words from his back.
"Must marry."
Then his figure disappeared at the door, and the door to the Hua Palace was closed, blocking out the light from outside.
Li Wan'er suddenly understood that this was not a play between siblings when they were young. You were arguing that I don't want to learn the piano, and I don't want to learn the piano... Then he would say: Okay, okay, if you don't want to learn today, don't learn, but tomorrow
I can't be lazy anymore.
In the end, I learned the piano, not only the piano, but also calligraphy and painting, Go, tea ceremony, and swordsmanship. As an imperial princess, I always learn some miscellaneous things, although I don't like it.
Including this time, I still don’t like it, but I have to.
…
There were candles lit in the prison, and they were fish-oil candles with the scent of sandalwood. This was the first time this happened in the prison. It was quite good to have a vegetable oil lamp on weekdays.
The old man filled the wine glass, but Cheng Dalei was indifferent and just stared at the old man with his eyes.
"Why don't you drink it, for fear of being poisonous?"
"No." Of course Cheng Dalei is not worried about the poison in the wine, because there is no need at all. Not only is it not poisonous, but Cheng Dalei also needs to ensure that Cheng Dalei eats, drinks and is active before execution.
"A glass of wine for the driver and a couple of tears for the loved ones."
"Well……"
The old man waited for ten thousand grass-mud horses to rush past in his heart before he sat down in front of Cheng Dalei.
"Wan'er told me something about you. It turned out that there were four big thieves in Chang'an City, each of them covered his own side. This is the first time I knew that it was you who covered the sky above me."
"Well... sometimes you need some personality when you go out to hang out."
The old man ignored Cheng Dalei's nonsense and drank a glass of wine by himself. He saw Cheng Dalei sitting there without drinking.
He didn't say anything and filled up his wine glass again.
"July 14th is the day you die. Is there anything you want to say to me before you die?"
"Is it because it's been a long night and you can't sleep, so you came here to talk to me?"
"Speak?" The old man paused: "Maybe I just want to find someone to talk to. Sitting in that position, you can't hear others talking. I am in charge of the world, and the lives of everyone in the world are mine, and you are the general.
A dying person, a dying person who doesn't care about his own life, maybe you can tell me a few words of truth."
The old man drank a few glasses of wine and was probably a little tipsy, so he talked a lot with Cheng Dalei and drank the wine one glass at a time.
"You haven't been drinking?" Emperor Ming sighed: "So you don't want to talk to me."
"If you could push the glass forward a little so that I can touch it, I might have a drink."
Cheng Dalei stretched out his hand forward, feeling like a doll with an oversized body and extremely short arms.
Guaguagua
There seemed to be a crow flying over the old man's head, and three black lines appeared on his forehead.
But he suddenly leaned over and leaned forward, putting huge pressure on Cheng Dalei.
"You look down on me."
This is not a question, but an affirmation. Because of the affirmation, I am angry. I am so high and mighty, Wei Jia Hai Nei, why do you look down on me?
Don't be angry, I don't have any other abilities, isn't it just because I am a time traveler?
"Do you think I'm a fool?"
The old man used the title "I" and pressed his body heavily on the table, so the overwhelming pressure fell on Cheng Dalei like a mountain. He was no longer an old man, but now he was the Emperor Wu who held the world in his hands.
"So you really think I'm a fool." Emperor Ming sneered: "Lin Wentian fought without help and died unjustly on the street. Yang Longting was cowardly and afraid of fighting and falsely claimed military exploits. You think I don't know these things. I already knew them a year ago.
Know."
"I was born in an emperor's family, and ascended to the throne with a weak crown. Since childhood, I have fought with my parents, powerful ministers, princes, and even my own children. What I have learned since I was born is to fight with the people of the world."
Emperor Ming stretched out his arms and embraced the mountains and rivers.
"But you all think that I am a fool, aloof, deaf and blind, unable to hear the truth, unable to distinguish right from wrong, and think that I am a fool who can fool everyone."
"..."
Cheng Dalei opened his eyes wide in shock, and his emotions fluctuated for the first time. Questions arose in his mind: You know everything, why don't you do anything.
Emperor Ming's energy seemed to be exhausted, and he sat slumped on the chair, drunkenness rising to his cheeks again.
"But what can we do? The empire has been defeated. It has been completely defeated and has no face. The empire needs someone to bear the anger of the people in the world, so Lin Wentian wants to kill everyone in his family. Because the empire needs someone to bring hope, so Yang Longting
Must be the God of War."
"Lin Wentian and I have known each other since we were very young. At that time, we were both still young. We often rode horses in the fields and got drunk..." Emperor Ming smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Since I am in this position, I have to do something for the empire. He was
Before the beheading, we had a conversation like tonight. At that time, he was sitting in your seat and we were both very drunk. Finally, he told me not to be sad."
"Every position has something he has to do. Even as the emperor, he cannot escape this fate. Lin Wentian fulfilled his responsibilities with his own death, and Yang Longting, as the imperial god of war, enjoys the worship of the world, that is
His responsibility. Because the empire failed so miserably, someone must give hope to the world."
"And you...you have contributed to the empire. You are innocent and should not die. But you should not kill Yang Longting. When the God of War dies, the empire's idol collapses. Someone needs to bear the anger of losing the idol, so...
…”
Emperor Ming burped and said in a vague tone:
"For the country and the people, please die."
Cheng Dalei looked at Emperor Ming, and when he met Emperor Ming's gaze, there was a faint fire in his eyes. Cheng Dalei underestimated Emperor Ming, and compared with him, he was still too naive. And Cheng Dalei also believed that Emperor Ming was sincere, maybe he would never
Not so sincere.
Cheng Dalei sighed, looked at the other party with a more sincere look than Emperor Ming, and uttered a sentence seriously.
