Chapter 414 Waiting for time and waiting for people
Yangzi Palace.
The emperor glanced at the body covered with white cloth, and then glanced at Lin Ye.
The emperor asked: "When you saw him, was he still alive?"
Lin Ye replied: "Alive."
The emperor asked again: "Then what did you ask him?"
Lin Ye replied: "I asked."
The emperor looked at Lin Ye's face, but Lin Ye's face was still expressionless as always.
Lin Ye said: "He said that he had seen through it all."
The emperor frowned: "What has he seen through?"
Lin Ye replied: "He said that he had seen through everything. Only this sentence went back and forth, over and over again."
The emperor looked at the imperial doctor who was kneeling aside.
When the imperial doctor saw the emperor looking over, he quickly leaned over and said: "Your Majesty, from the examination of this man's body, it can be seen that he had lost his mind and gone crazy before his death."
The emperor's brows furrowed even deeper.
He asked: "How are you sure that he is crazy?"
The imperial doctor replied: "The mouth and eyes are crooked, and the body is stiff. It is due to blood stasis. The cause of his death is heart blockage, loss of qi and blood, and cardiac arrest."
The emperor didn't say anything more, but turned his attention to Lin Ye again.
I don’t know what this glance meant. I don’t know if others saw it, but Gu Xiujin did.
He immediately said: "Take this body down and bury it anywhere you like."
After the Ouchi guards came forward to carry the body away, Gu Xiujin looked at the others and said, "The saint still needs to discuss the military affairs with the general. Everyone else should also step back."
Everyone left, and Gu Xiujin also left. After bowing and presenting us, he even closed the door.
Lin Ye and Tianzi were the only two people left in this hall.
After the emperor sat down, he said, "Let's talk."
Lin Ye leaned over: "This person said that His Majesty is going to abdicate..."
The emperor didn't expect Lin Ye to be so direct. He was just thinking about whether Lin Yeruo had learned something from this person and whether he wanted to cover it up.
The emperor raised his hand: "Okay, there's no need to go on."
Lin Ye's words stopped abruptly.
The emperor asked: "Did you kill the man?"
Lin Ye replied: "Yes."
The emperor asked: "Are you afraid that he will talk nonsense?"
Lin Ye replied: "This person is indeed crazy, and he is indeed talking nonsense, and he keeps talking nonsense."
The emperor nodded.
He didn't say anything immediately, and Lin Ye didn't say much, just stood there with his body slightly lowered.
After a long time, the emperor looked at Lin Ye and said, "You could have told me that this person didn't guess anything, and this person didn't say anything to you."
Lin Ye replied: "I don't dare."
The emperor said: "Do you believe what he says?"
Lin Ye said: "I don't believe it."
The Emperor said: "There is a reason for not believing, and there is a reason for doubting belief."
Lin Ye said: "I don't doubt it, I don't need to doubt it."
The emperor hummed, and after being silent for a moment, he said, "Go back. You still need to be in charge of the war outside the city."
Lin Ye leaned over and said, "I obey your order."
After finishing speaking, exit the hall.
After Lin Ye left, the emperor let out a long breath. It seemed that he was really troubled by this dead man's nonsense, and his mood was also disturbed.
Concubine Wan Gui walked up to him, raised her hand and gently pinched the emperor's head, her strength was very gentle, and her movements were very gentle.
"Your Majesty, are you afraid of Lin Yexin?"
The emperor smiled: "He already believes it."
Concubine Wan Gui said: "Then Your Majesty..."
The Emperor said: "It's nothing. Sooner or later I have to say something, and sooner or later, the first person I want to say it to is him."
He held Concubine Wan Gui's hand: "I have said that I will give half my life to Dayu to make the world peaceful, the government clear, the people happy, and the world smooth."
He raised his head and looked at Concubine Wan Gui: "I also said that I will leave the remaining half of my life to you and take you to see the waterfall that we talked about flying down three thousand feet, and the window that we said contains the snow of Qianqiu on the Xiling Mountain. Let's take a look.
The passing spring breeze carries horses and poplars along the green road, and I have seen the 30,000-mile river flowing eastward into the sea."
He held Concubine Wan Gui's hand tightly.
He said: "I have not failed Dayu, nor have I failed you."
Back then, when she entered the palace, the emperor knew that she was hiding something in her heart.
She is the apple of Prime Minister Wan Yulou's eye, and the strongest person of Yu Xin Guan's generation.
She entered the palace not because she loved the emperor, but to help her father.
But later on, the relationship between the two people quickly heated up, from watching with cold eyes to cautiously testing, and then becoming inseparable.
Human emotions are very strange, they can be as ruthless as the emperor, but they can also be as passionate as spring flowers, autumn moon, summer rain, and winter snow.
When he said to her, I will promise you half my life, she just smiled as brightly as a flower.
But she knew that His Majesty was not hers alone. His Majesty was Dayu's Majesty. His Majesty promised her half his life, but he only coaxed her because he loved her.
But she didn't expect that from the moment the emperor said these words, he was actually planning to do this for half of Xu Qing's life.
The emperor really wants to abdicate.
This is really unbelievable. Just like what Mei Luowu said to Lan Zhi, it is so unbelievable that even Tuoba Lie couldn't believe it when he told Tuoba Lie.
If these words were really said to Tuoba Lie face to face, Tuoba Lie would probably laugh so hard that he burst into tears.
Because in Tuoba Lie's eyes, it is impossible for His Majesty to give up the country and the country because of some bullshit love between his children.
Because Tuoba Lie himself is that kind of person.
Let him give up his country because of a woman?
He is willing to kill tens of millions of women for the sake of his country.
Therefore, he would not believe it and would never believe it. He felt that the Emperor was the same type of person as him.
The hall became quiet, so quiet that the sound of Concubine Wan Gui's tears falling seemed to become clearer.
The emperor raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Concubine Wan Gui's eyes.
"I know what you want to persuade me, so just save your efforts and give up. How many times have you persuaded me in the past few years?"
The emperor said in a soft voice: "You know, I never do things without a plan. I will think everything out in advance and arrange it properly. But there is only one thing that I don't think about, and I don't think about it on purpose."
Concubine Wan Gui asked: "What did your Majesty say?"
The emperor replied: "I want to accompany you to travel around the world. I want to go wherever I go first. I don't want to do this. I just want to follow your heart. I can go wherever you want to go and stay wherever you want to stay.
where."
Concubine Wan Gui smiled, and when she smiled, another crystal clear teardrop fell on the emperor's hand.
The Emperor said: "You cry every time I talk about this matter. She is such a strong woman, but she is always moved by my few words."
Concubine Wan Gui said: "Because these words were said by His Majesty."
The emperor laughs.
He took Concubine Wan Gui's hand and walked to the window of the main hall, opened the window and looked at the sunset outside.
"What is the scene I fantasize about the most? Can you guess it?"
Concubine Wan Gui replied: "Walking under the sunset with my concubine."
The emperor smiled and shook his head, and said: "You are busy cooking in an apron, clumsy, and half of your face is stained with plant ash, while I am sitting on the bench weaving baskets...looking at you and giggling."
He said: "What I thought was beautiful."
What he thought was beautiful, but at this moment, Lin Ye's mood was not beautiful, not at all.
The emperor's words actually told him very clearly that the crazy words spoken by the dead man were all true.
Who can believe this after hearing it?
After twenty years of hard work, he brought Dayu back from the brink of collapse. He deceived everyone like a foolish king, and then shocked everyone by acting like a wise king from ancient times.
Lin Ye has never seen anyone as ruthless and passionate as the Emperor. In the Emperor, both ruthlessness and passion are so strong.
If Dayu does not have the emperor, can Dayu still be the same as when there was the emperor?
Unfortunately, he was the one who knew about this. However, the emperor still had no desire to explain.
At this moment, Lin Ye recalled what the madman said, and he realized how terrifying this madman was.
The lunatic actually saw through the emperor's heart outside the court.
Lin Ye heard someone say to him more than once, why you? Because you are the most suitable one.
Is it most suitable...
Lin Ye thought of the things he had done before, especially the things he had done during his time in Guzhu, and he had to admit that yes, he was the most suitable.
Because when he kills people, he is indeed ruthless.
As long as it is correct, it can be ruthless.
Thinking of this, Lin Ye stopped and sat down on the roadside.
Pedestrians on the street dare not approach him, even if they are walking in the same direction as him, they must go around to the opposite side.
Because he is Lin Ye, who doesn't know him in Yangzi City now?
Eight out of ten people who died in Yangzi City were related to this young general in black brocade.
Lin Ye sat there, sitting under the sunset.
Pang Panghai did not dare to approach. He felt that the general was thinking about something, some case, or military affairs outside the city.
He had previously driven his carriage behind the general, always keeping a distance.
At this time, he was standing next to the carriage, looking at the general under the setting sun, and felt that the general seemed tired.
For the first time, he felt that the general was tired.
He didn't know what the general was thinking, but he felt that as long as the general thought, there would be nothing he couldn't solve.
Lin Ye didn't think about anything. Although his life had only been more than ten years, he had never wasted any time in a daze.
When others look at him in a daze, he is always thinking about something.
But this time, he was really in a daze.
The setting sun was at the edge of the city wall, waving goodbye to the people in the city.
People inside the wall feel that people outside the wall will have more peripheral vision than they do.
The people outside the wall are warriors. When they look at the blades in their hands, they do see more of the sun's afterglow.
It's just that when the light is reflected on the knife, it's colder than night.
The rebels once again launched an attack. They wanted to create chaos and intensified their offensive before dark in order to welcome the return of a wise man late at night.
They need to mobilize the troops defending the city so that the wise man can have an easier road when he returns home.
Of course, they don't know this because they are just following orders.
While Lin Ye was sitting there in a daze, the young man on horseback in front of the rebel formation outside the city also seemed to be in a daze.
After being in a daze for a while, Tuoba Ningxiu asked: "Mother-in-law, my husband must be very tired when he comes back tonight. How about not disturbing him tonight, not asking about military affairs, not asking about the current situation, and just letting him have a good rest?"
The old woman next to him smiled, her cloudy eyes filled with relief.
The old woman said: "The young master is right, it is time for Mr. Mei to have a good rest."
Tuoba Ningxiu said: "If sir sees me wearing the armor now, he will probably be very happy."
The old woman nodded: "Yes, Mr. Mei will be happy to see the young master's heroic appearance."
