Standing on the terrace halfway up the mountain, Xin Yanque looked down at Yunzhou City in the early morning fog.
Your Majesty is in Yunzhou. Should you tell Your Majesty about Chen Weiwei now?
Your Majesty will not return to Geling until the matter of Dongbo is settled. After His Majesty returns to Geling, he will probably go back too.
Therefore, when thinking of these, Xin Yanque's mood was a bit complicated.
When His Majesty lets him return to Geling, he must completely forget his old self.
That cynical Xin Yanque can never go back.
But His Majesty also said that he would give him some more time to grow, learn, and let him indulge for a few more years.
At first, Xin Yanque would feel uncomfortable every time he thought about this, felt too stressed, depressed, and most of all, scared.
He didn't know if he could be a good emperor, but he knew that no matter how good he was, he would never be better than His Majesty.
Therefore, the most willful person in the world is actually Your Majesty.
I could have been the most holy king in the world, or even the most holy king in thousands of years.
But if His Majesty feels that it is no longer fun and interesting, then he simply stops playing.
His Majesty has even planned when he will retire and what Xin Yanque will look like at that time.
His Majesty said to him, you are not as good as me in running the country, and I am not as good as you in practicing.
But I have already helped you to govern the country. As long as you don't become the most stupid king in history, Dayu will not be ruined by you and can only become stronger.
His Majesty also told him that when it comes to spiritual practice, you will not only be the emperor, but also have more sons. In the future... the descendants left to the Xie family royal family will at least not be afraid all the time.
I was threatened because I couldn't fight.
His Majesty also said that if you can do it, the child you give birth to will also be able to do it. If it doesn't work, then in the final analysis, you can't do it.
Xin Yanque asked the emperor at that time, if it really doesn't work, will you regret it?
The emperor said, I have given up the throne to you. If it fails, it is your fault. What should I regret?
"Lord Guanzhu."
Just when Xin Yanque was thinking about this, Ai Youyou walked onto the terrace.
"What's wrong?"
Xin Yanque asked.
Ai Youyou said: "Your Majesty just sent someone to ask about Chen Weiwei, and I replied to your Majesty's person truthfully."
Xin Yanque hummed: "I'll go back as soon as I can. I'll tell His Majesty sooner or later."
Ai Youyou said: "Your Majesty asked if the thing about the Immortal Demonic Art is true."
Xin Yan raised his eyebrows and asked, "How did you respond?"
Ai Youyou said: "It's better to reply truthfully."
Xin Yanque had to sigh in his heart. He knew Your Majesty very well. No matter what Chen Weiwei's thoughts were, whether he was really loyal to Dayu or had other agendas, Your Majesty would 90% not allow such a person to live.
Ai Youyou said: "I think you should go see His Majesty in person and talk about this matter in detail."
Xin Yanque said, "I'll be there soon."
He looked back at Ai Youyou: "Do you think he deserves to die?"
Ai Youyou said: "There are thousands of people in this world, and there is not one person who can say that there is not a single part of his body that deserves death, and there is not a single person that has not a single part of his body that does not deserve death."
Xin Yanque: "I don't want to hear your nonsense. You can fool your disciples with these words. They may still think they are wise words."
Ai Youyou said leisurely: "I also think it is a wise saying."
Xin Yanque sighed.
Ai Youyou said: "The master of the temple should know that in the whole world, no one is more correct than your Majesty, no matter what the matter is, no matter what the decision is."
Xin Yanque took a deep breath. He now hated the word "correct".
Not now, it seems that he didn't like these two words from the beginning, just because in His Majesty's heart, correct means ruthless.
"if......"
Xin Yanque looked at Ai Youyou: "What if I think it's a pity that Chen Weiwei died?"
Ai Youyou said: "Then let's see how long you can protect him."
He paused and then said: "If you directly say that you don't want Chen Weiwei to die when you meet His Majesty, Your Majesty will probably be unhappy and think that the viewer is naive."
"But if the patron says that people like Chen Weiwei should be released and tested to see if he is sincere or not, your majesty may agree. After all, a young hero has been created, so let this young man be two heroes in the same place.
Wouldn’t it be better if we did it again?”
Xin Yanque narrowed his eyes: "Sure enough, old fox."
Ai Youyou said: "It's just that I have lived a long time, so I am cunning than most people."
He said: "If Chen Weiwei is left in Dayu, His Majesty will feel uncomfortable hearing his name. If he is sent back to Dongbo and allowed to continue to found Shangyang Beizong, Your Majesty will probably feel uncomfortable when he hears his name.
It will also feel a bit gratifying.”
Xin Yan nodded slightly: "That's it."
Ai Youyou said: "It's just that if Your Majesty asks who came up with this idea, I hope the viewer can say that you came up with it yourself."
Xin Yanque: "Am I still going to say that you came up with it? You underestimate me too much."
Ai Youyou sighed: "I'm already at this age. It won't be long before I retire with great success. With honor and a generous salary, I can live a happy life. The viewer cannot let His Majesty face him at this time.
I do not like."
Xin Yanque: "As I said before, don't underestimate me."
Ai Youyou leaned over and bowed: "Thank you, Master Guanzhu."
An hour later, Yunzhou City, the original Beiye Palace of Tuoba Lie.
Your Majesty stood in the garden of Kitano Prince's Mansion, looking at the flowers and plants under the autumn wind, which were already sixty-seven percent withered.
He didn't speak, and Xin Yanque didn't dare to speak either.
After a long time, the emperor said: "This kind of bullshit idea is not something you can come up with. If you lie and deceive me, I will send you to the wilderness of southern Xinjiang to promote Taoism for you in Shangyang Palace and in the primitive forest."
Turn on audio-visual preaching, I heard that the barbarians quite like to listen to the reasoning from you people in Shangyang Palace."
Xin Yanque: "It's Ai Youyou. Ai Youyou taught me. He also said he wouldn't let me tell Your Majesty that he taught me."
The emperor turned his head and looked at Xin Yanque: "You are not ashamed at all?"
Xin Yanque: "I speak truthfully. I am worthy of my kindness to the emperor and not ashamed."
The emperor glanced at him again.
He asked: "Did you think it was a pity for someone like Chen Weiwei to die, so you asked Ai Youyou to help you think of an excuse?"
Xin Yanque: "Absolutely not. It was because I had this intention. Ai Youyou came up with the idea proactively."
Emperor: "Are you really not ashamed?"
Xin Yanque: "The magnanimity in my heart is comparable to the clarity of the universe."
The Emperor said: "I said that I will hand over the country to you in a few years, so I am already waiting for you to make judgments and choices on many things. This Chen Weiwei is just the beginning."
Xin Yanque leaned over and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
The emperor said: "If you regret it one day in the future, think more about how you thanked me for your kindness today."
He looked into the distance and said: "I will never underestimate the ambition of a young man from a poor family, just like Tuoba Lie back then."
Xin Yanque thought for a while and didn't answer, but he didn't think so in his heart.
Can Chen Weiwei compete with Tuoba Lie?
He said: "I just feel that it is indeed of great use to let such a person return to Dongbo."
The emperor said: "It is useful. It will be useful within a few years."
Xin Yanque: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."
The emperor smiled: "I am not praising you, I am saying that you are short-sighted and only look at a few years."
He stood with his hands behind his hands and looked at the mountains and rivers in the distance.
"Obviously you saved Chen Weiwei and sent him to Dongbo, but you still feel that you owe him."
"So he will have a smooth life in the next few years. No one can guarantee that people's hearts will not change in a few years."
Xin Yanque wanted to say something more, but the Emperor shook his head: "No need to say any more. I have said that I hope you can learn to judge and choose by yourself. This is your judgment and your choice. I leave it to you."
Xin Yanque knew that His Majesty no longer wanted to talk to him, so he bowed and said goodbye.
After Xin Yanque left, Concubine Wan Gui walked to the emperor.
She asked softly: "Since Your Majesty thinks that the young man named Chen Weiwei is a disaster, why did you agree to the request of the viewer?"
The emperor said: "I have always pampered him."
Concubine Wan Gui said with a smile: "Your Majesty is not as coddled as before this time."
The emperor said: "He has to grow up on his own. I want to leave the country to him."
Concubine Wan Gui: "Then you made the wrong choice?"
Of course she was not asking if His Majesty had made the wrong choice, but if Xin Yanque had made the wrong choice.
The emperor said: "It's just a setback. How can anyone not go through ups and downs?"
Having said this, the emperor paused for a moment, and then added something.
"Unless he has something else on his mind."
Concubine Wan Gui said: "How could the master of the temple have any other thoughts? He is just still young..."
The emperor said: "The little one is Guo Linye?"
Concubine Wan Gui was startled.
The Emperor said: "Let him go through more experiences on his own. I have paved the road smooth enough for him."
Concubine Wan Gui nodded and said nothing more.
At this time, on the way back to Tianshuiya, Xin Yanque in the carriage was thinking about what he should say to Chen Weiwei later.
He thought that when he told this result, Chen Weiwei's eyes must be full of disappointment and sadness.
Not only that, Chen Weiwei's eyes at this moment were not only disappointed and sad, but also angry and unwilling.
Because he saw himself in the mirror.
Ugly, extremely ugly.
He knew that with the magic of the triple cicada, his eyebrows and hair would grow back, after all, not even the hair roots were gone. However, he still found it difficult to accept his ugliness at this time.
His face looks like a bare egg.
He already had a copper cup in his hand, and he had already raised it to smash it against the bronze mirror in front of him.
But he endured it.
If he smashes it, it will definitely attract the attention of people outside, and someone will rush in and ask him what happened.
Will he cry bitterly in front of others? Say in front of others that I can't stand who I am now?
No.
He slowly put the copper cup down, raised his hand, and gently touched himself in the mirror.
He didn't even dare to raise his hand and touch his real self.
"worth."
After a long time, Chen Weiwei muttered two words to himself.
At this moment, someone's footsteps appeared outside, and Chen Weiwei went back to the bed and lay down.
"Senior Brother Chen?"
A disciple from Shangyang Palace outside asked in a gentle tone: "There are visitors coming outside. They say they are senior brothers. Your former master and wife were stopped. Do you want to see them? There is also an old man who says they are senior brothers Chen."
......Father."
Chen Weiwei almost blurted out no, he had just seen himself in the bronze mirror, and he didn't want those people to see him like this.
However, in the blink of an eye, Chen Weiwei changed his mind.
He spoke with excitement and a trembling voice: "Brother, please help me up. I'm going to pick them up."
