During the meal, Lin Ye rarely drank two glasses of wine, which made his aunt Xie Yunxi find it interesting.
Of course she knew that Lin Ye's leisure time to drink proved that Lin Ye had already figured out what he needed to figure out.
As smart as she is, she only had a brief chat with Lin Ye, and after learning about the letter sent by Gu Xiujin, she was able to make a rough guess.
Therefore, she had to admire how beautifully the Emperor's game ended. This kind of thing had begun to take shape from the layout to now, and the more she thought about it, the more amazing the Emperor became.
The emperor still couldn't securely hand over such a big jade to Xin Yanque, so he still had to make an effort.
He needed to do this last thing well, and Xin Yanque had to do it himself.
When the court was purged, Chen Weiwei's fate was actually doomed.
Even with such a decisive layout, the emperor and Xin Yanque could not eliminate all hidden dangers.
It is already extremely difficult to sweep all the most important ministries and offices in the court to pave the way for Xin Yanque to arrange for his own people to take over after he ascends the throne.
This result is big enough.
So at that time, Xin Yanque, who was in power, still needed to make peace with the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
This reconciliation is Chen Weiwei.
It was Xin Yanque who gave the order, but it was Chen Weiwei who raised the butcher's knife. When Chen Weiwei is handed over and a human head falls to the ground, the reconciliation ceremony will be completed.
At that time, the courtiers who had been severely suppressed, and those who survived by chance, did not dare to really be at odds with Xin Yanque. They were already living on their last legs, and it was a good thing if they could get an explanation from Xin Yanque.
Already.
So at this moment, Xie Yunxi also began to admire Lin Ye.
Because Lin Ye had no intention of actually killing Chen Weiwei from the moment he got the news about Gu Xiujin.
If Lin Ye really killed Chen Weiwei at that time, the emperor might be very disappointed in Lin Ye.
But the emperor must have other arrangements. Without Chen Weiwei, someone else must be the barbarian who raised the butcher knife.
Could this person be Lin Ye?
If it was Lin Ye, when the time came for Xin Yanque to reconcile with the courtiers, would it be Lin Ye who was sent out to make an explanation?
Xie Yunxi had not understood this level until now. She was not sure whether Lin Ye had fully understood it the moment Gu Xiujin arrived, but there was no doubt that Lin Ye made the most correct choice.
So she couldn't help but think of the first time she and Lin Ye rode in the same car in Yunzhou City.
That day, she told Lin Ye that if you do everything with the thought of risking your life, then your life is not precious.
If in order to achieve your goals, you have to think about risking your life again and again, then I would rather you be a person who does whatever it takes to achieve your goals. At least that would be better for yourself.
play hard......
Now Lin Ye is hard-hearted and ruthless, so did he really listen to what she said in the car?
Xie Yunxi knew that Lin Ye couldn't kill Chen Weiwei when Gu Xiujin came, but at that time, she felt that Lin Ye didn't kill Chen Weiwei just because of Lao Chen and because he couldn't do it.
If Lin Ye had figured out early that Chen Weiwei had another great use and refused to kill him, then Lin Ye's heart would be more ruthless than she thought.
In fact, Lin Ye only saw at that time that the Emperor did not really want to kill Chen Weiwei, but also that Chen Weiwei would definitely be used for other purposes by the Emperor and Xin Yanque.
The main reason why he didn't kill Chen Weiwei at that time was indeed because of Lao Chen.
Xie Yunxi turned his head and looked at Lin Ye. The guy was raising his head to drink all the wine in the cup.
She asked softly: "Are you really not planning to go to Geling City to take a look? Are you not planning to meet Mr. Xin and cooperate with him in this scene?"
Lin Ye said: "No, if I go, I don't know if he will think I'm boring when I'm acting."
Because of these words, Xie Yunxi had to think again.
After a while, she understood the meaning of Lin Ye's words, so she had to admire Lin Ye again.
Whether it's the Emperor or Xin Yanque, they can definitely guess it. If anyone is the first to see what this game is like, then that person must be Lin Ye.
So at this time, Lin Ye went to persuade Xin Yanque and asked him to supervise the country in a serious manner and handle the government affairs in a down-to-earth manner. Xin Yanque must have seen that Lin Ye was acting.
It's not good to act with people who are close to you. It doesn't hurt your feelings once in a while, but if you act too many times, it will become boring.
So Lin Ye simply let the person who reported the news go back without bringing back any news, not even a reply.
"If you don't want to go, don't go. Let's train troops in the camp in a down-to-earth manner."
Xie Yunxi said: "It's a good thing to avoid the current turmoil. It's going to be rough and turbulent, and it's inevitable that there will be some fishy smell."
Lin Ye smiled and said: "I won't go to Geling, not because the wind and waves are big, but because once I go, the wind and waves will be even bigger."
Xie Yunxi was slightly startled.
Three days later, Geling City, Yuyuan.
Mr. Xin sat at the door and looked up at the sky. Snowflakes began to fall sparsely.
It was only a few days before the Chinese New Year, and it suddenly started snowing. This seemed to be a good sign.
Even the common people say that auspicious snow heralds a good year, and the snow that fell just a few days before the Chinese New Year was like taking advantage of the time to send auspicious omens, so Mr. Xin, who was already happy, felt even more comfortable.
At this time, Gu Xiujin came over holding a large cloak, walked behind Mr. Xin, and was put on by Mr. Xin.
"Your Highness, the wind and snow are getting a bit heavy."
"Thank you."
Mr. Xin replied casually.
But just this sentence of thank you made Gu Xiujin startled. He was used to serving others, but he couldn't get used to others thanking him.
"I am a practitioner."
Mr. Xin smiled and said: "Don't be afraid of wind and snow."
Gu Xiujin lowered his head and replied in a very soft voice: "I was negligent. I forgot that Your Highness is a great master."
"A great master?"
Mr. Xin asked him: "What kind of person is a great master in your eyes?"
Gu Xiujin said: "Your Highness, the old headmaster, or the master of Ru Yu Xin Guan, the abbot of Xisheng Temple should be called a great master."
Mr. Xin smiled and said: "Including me, if you only talk about martial arts attainments, then only my master can be called a great master. If you talk about cultivation in this world, it is not just
Martial arts matters."
He raised his head and watched the snowflakes falling, and said in a very sincere tone: "When it comes to cultivating in the human world, there is only one person who can be called a great master... and that is our Majesty."
Gu Xiujin nodded subconsciously, because he felt that this was right and there was no doubt about it.
Your Majesty is incapable of practicing martial arts and is not proficient in martial arts. However, except for martial arts, your Majesty has practiced extremely well in everything in the human world.
"Xiao Gu, I want to ask you something."
"Excuse me, Your Highness."
Mr. Xin stretched out his hand and caught a few snowflakes. If an ordinary person caught the snowflakes with his hands, the snowflakes would melt in a moment.
But Mr. Xin is a master, not a great master, but a master among masters. It is really not a difficult thing for him even if the snowflakes don't melt.
"Did you send someone to see Lin Ye?"
Mr. Xin asked.
Gu Xiujin was stunned for a moment when he heard these words, then lifted his robe and knelt down: "I am guilty, please punish me, Your Highness."
Mr. Xin pulled him: "Look, you knelt down again. I'm not blaming you. You didn't send people to see Lin Ye for yourself. You did it for me, for Dayu Jiangshan, and for the greater good."
I said, you are doing this for hundreds of millions of people."
He said: "You sent someone to see Lin Ye, you must want him to come to Geling to persuade me to stop doing my job so seriously. I'm just curious, how did he answer you?"
Gu Xiujin replied: "The general did not reply."
"What do you mean no reply?"
"Yes, not even a word of mouth."
When Mr. Xin heard this, he was slightly startled for a moment, then burst into laughter and said "interesting" three times in a row.
"That guy is so damn smart."
His words confused Gu Xiujin. Gu Xiujin didn't understand for a moment, why did Your Highness start exaggerating about the general?
"What a smart but bastard guy... No wonder Your Majesty said that guy's wisdom is not learned, but innate."
He sighed with emotion, and then asked Gu Xiujin: "Do you think everyone is born the same?"
Gu Xiujin replied: "It must be different. Some people are born in poverty, and some people are born in..."
Mr. Xin said: "Don't pretend to be stupid, you know that's not what I asked."
Gu Xiujin said: "Your Highness is saying that we are all human beings, even if we put in the same efforts, we are still different."
Mr. Xin nodded.
"You go back and rest."
Mr. Xin said: "I am not angry that you sent someone to see Lin Ye, but I am very happy, because this is enough to prove your loyalty and that His Majesty values you correctly."
Gu Xiujin said: "But I still act arrogantly."
Mr. Xin said: "You know I have never liked being an emperor, but I like that being an emperor has a unique ability."
He looked at Gu Xiujin and said: "As an emperor, if you are right, you are right; if you are wrong, you are wrong."
Gu Xiujin leaned over and said, "I will keep this in mind."
Mr. Xin hummed: "Go ahead and take a rest."
After Gu Xiujin left, Mr. Xin sat on the steps and blew slowly, blowing away the few snowflakes in his hands.
Gu Xiujin just saw that a few snowflakes had not melted, but he did not notice that only those few snowflakes fell on Mr. Xin's hand. Except for these few, the other snowflakes were isolated.
The snow is falling heavier and heavier, and people can see more and more clearly. There is a transparent circle around Mr. Xin's body, and there is no wind or snow.
"Sure enough, that guy can see everything. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are right. Even people like Wang Luoshen can't see through this matter. Only Lin Ye can understand it thoroughly."
After muttering to himself, Mr. Xin shrugged his shoulders because he remembered what His Majesty said to him before leaving... He didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing that that guy was so smart.
"That's a good thing."
Mr. Xin muttered to himself again.
"He refuses to come because he knows that as long as he comes, I won't let him go back so easily. I have to let him use his hands and draw the sword."
Mr. Xin raised his head and looked at the sky again. The snow was really heavy, but not many people seemed to hate heavy snow. It was also a natural thing, and not many people liked heavy rain.
"Your Highness."
Gu Xiujin, who had just left not long ago, came back again and trotted closer.
"Chen Weiwei asks to see you. Your Highness, please let him wait, or should you call him in now?"
"Did he say anything?"
"He said there has been progress in the case at the Ministry of Civil Affairs and a confession has been made."
Mr. Xin hummed, raised his head and looked at Gu Xiujin: "Tell him there is no need to come to see me. Once you have a confession, you can continue to arrest people according to the confession. Tell him again, be careful. It is impossible for everyone to be so obedient."
Just go ahead and capture him, if anyone resists... don't hurt him."
Because of these words, Gu Xiujin's heart trembled slightly.
This sentence is telling Chen Weiwei that some people can resist, and those who resist do not need to bother to interrogate.
When Gu Xiujin walked out, he also looked up at the sky. The snow seemed to be heavier than before.
