Dai Hongwen's eyes widened and his expression suddenly became excited: "What do you mean by this?"
Qin Yi smiled slightly and said, "That's what you understand."
Dai Hongwen's eyes suddenly became dull. Apparently, he had now realized the meaning of Qin Yi's words.
Obviously, Qin Yi meant that the person he wanted to be loyal to, the emperor Lu Yuanlong, was dead.
Only if Lu Yuanlong dies, he will not have to continue to maintain order and peace in the palace and prevent others from invading the position he holds!
"Did you kill him?"
Dai Hongwen's eyes quickly calmed down. He looked at Qin Yi and asked in a calm voice.
"Yes, it was indeed me who killed him."
Qin Yi did not deny it, but admitted it very generously: "So, do you want to fight me now to avenge your Majesty the Emperor?"
Dai Hongwen shook his head and said, "I have no such plan."
Hearing this, Qin Yi felt a little surprised.
The other party kept saying that he was loyal to his duties, and the image he showed in front of Qin Yi and others was indeed the image of being willing to stick to the rules.
Now that he heard about the death of the person he wanted to protect, he actually said that he had no intention of revenge?
The most important thing is that from his appearance, it seems that he really intends to do this, because he is not even interested in finding out why Qin Yi took action.
Could it be that Qin Yi's previous understanding of him had gone awry?
Could it be said that this is not the principle that Dai Hongwen adheres to?
At this time, Dai Hongwen continued: "Although I am indeed a bit foolish and loyal, my loyalty has always been to the emperors of the past dynasties. As for what this emperor did before, what he did during his reign, and the final outcome.
What it is, none of this has anything to do with me. Because it is not within the scope of my responsibilities."
It was precisely because of this that when Lu Yuanlong killed the previous good-for-nothing emperor, he did not respond in any way.
At that time, everyone thought that he still held a grudge about what happened back then.
But in fact, the real reason is exactly this, which is not within the scope of his responsibilities.
After Lu Yuanlong came to power, he used extremely cruel methods against all those who had been loyal to the previous emperor. Almost everyone who opposed him or even wanted to kill him to avenge the previous emperor was killed or expelled!
It is precisely for this reason that Dai Hongwen was able to survive and continue to serve in the palace.
However, it was also because of his rigidity that Lu Yuanlong did not allow him to be promoted. Instead, he continued to stay in the coaching position where he was completely unable to play his role, allowing him to continue to muddle along.
"If that's the case, then why are you so persistent and won't let us into the palace?"
Lu Yuanxiao looked at Dai Hongwen and said in confusion: "You have no one to protect, so you shouldn't have to worry about the affairs in the palace, right?"
According to normal logic, this is indeed the case. Isn’t the purpose of defending the palace to protect the emperor?
Now that the emperor is gone, there is no need for him to protect him.
In this case, why should we continue to insist on not letting them into the palace?
"you are wrong."
Dai Hongwen still shook his head and said: "What I protect is not the emperor, but the palace! The only thing I want to protect is the palace! No matter who the emperor is, it has nothing to do with me."
"Ha ha!"
Hearing this, Qin Yi suddenly burst out laughing: "In this case, you have no reason to refuse us entry!"
Dai Hongwen frowned and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
Qin Yi replied: "What I mean is that by letting us in, not only are you not breaking your rules, but you are abiding by your principles."
Hearing this, Dai Hongwen was a little confused again.
In his eyes, since Qin Yi and the others killed Lu Yuanlong and now wanted to break into the palace, they obviously wanted to move into the palace and become the leaders of the Yuliu Kingdom.
Although Lu Yuanxiao is a good candidate for emperor, Qin Yi doesn't look like the kind of villain who likes to fight for power.
However, this does not change the fact that they usurped the throne by causing rebellion.
It can be said that the purpose is obvious. Why does Qin Yi still have the confidence to say that they entered the palace not to cause rebellion or to commit rebellion?
"Instructor Dai, it seems that you still don't understand something about Qin Yi's statement."
Lu Yuanxiao quickly understood what Qin Yi meant, and immediately said: "In that case, let me explain it to you. You should remember what you saw when you walked out of the palace gate just now.
Right?"
Dai Hongwen nodded and said: "Of course I remember. Isn't it just a group of guys who covet the throne like you and want to take advantage of it and surround the palace?"
Having said this, a look of contempt suddenly appeared on his face.
Obviously, he does not agree with these guys from the bottom of his heart. Each of them has little strength, but has great desires.
However, he also knew that the two guys in front of him and their companions outside were fundamentally different from these people.
He had heard more or less about Qin Yi. Qin Yi played an indispensable role in defeating Silver Snow Country and ending that hell-like war. Obviously, in his eyes, Qin Yi was a
Absolutely capable person.
Let’s talk about Lu Yuanxiao. Before Lu Yuanlong became the emperor of the Yuliu Kingdom, Lu Yuanxiao already had the best reputation among all the princes. To have such a reputation requires not only ability, but also
Of character.
At this point, Lu Yuanxiao definitely deserves it!
If he had not been arrested and imprisoned, Dai Hongwen believed that Lu Yuanxiao would definitely be even more terrifying now.
So, compared with those bugs outside, the two people in front of me are fundamentally different.
Unfortunately, in Dai Hongwen's eyes, their behavior this time conflicted with their own responsibilities.
Even though Qin Yi said those shocking words and Lu Yuanxiao exposed those bastards outside, Dai Hongwen definitely had no intention of changing his mind because of this.
"Since you still remember it, you should know what kind of dilemma you are going to face!"
Lu Yuanxiao said calmly, his voice was calm and there was no threat at all, but it made Dai Hongwen frown all of a sudden.
"That's right!"
After a pause, Lu Yuanxiao continued to answer: "They may still be able to endure it now. But since they dare to appear here, it means that their next step is to step into the palace gate!"
