Chapter 454: An Unchangeable Future
The imperial study of the Great Yin Palace.
The atmosphere in the room was condensed, and I could hear the pouring rain rumbling down, and the raindrops the size of beans fell on every corner of the palace, and it was about to turn into a violent storm in an instant.
Emperor Yin looked at the folds that had been reviewed on the desk with an expressionless face, and at this time he quietly rested in front of him, as if he had a long, long dream.
In the days when he was in a coma, those hands as soft as willow catkins read these folds for him I don't know how many times, like snowflakes flying to the imperial study, it will soon be like heavy rain outside the window, countless royal orders passed through Chu Xun's hands and handed over to the civil and military officials, and finally they descended to every corner of the territory of the entire Dayin Dynasty, so that everyone knew that even if they were in a coma, there were still people who stood up to maintain the order of the court.
The two sons disappointed themselves, but fortunately he also had an obedient daughter, and Emperor Yin comforted himself.
Emperor Yin's eyes slowly moved away from the fold, falling to the rain scene outside the imperial study, in that trance like a dream-like rain curtain, he could only see the cyan city wall in the distance, his eyes were deeply locked on the word "Lin'an", and finally the man lowered his eyelids and clenched his fists, ignoring the pain caused by the sudden clenching of his fist.
The wound that had not yet healed was like a sudden scar, and the king repeatedly recalled the heart-rending curse, and the terrible purple eyes made him feel a kind of regret and anger that he had never felt before.
This feeling is indescribable, like an uncontrollable sudden anger, and like a kind of pain that shatters a beloved object, Chu Xianzhao is actually the dead black cloth in Qin Tianjian's words!
The greater the anger in his heart, the more he was hidden in the peace of Emperor Yin, although he was not as angry as when he first woke up, but Chu Xuanzhao's escape from marriage and leaving the Yin Kingdom was undoubtedly a stone that stirred up a thousand waves, and the Bottle Country asked to send Ye Weiwei back, and let the people of the Chu royal family send it in person, otherwise the alliance between them should be dissolved, and the current behavior of the Yin Kingdom should be regarded as a war provocation.
The prince defected out of the country, and the country planned to dissolve the alliance, these two things were intertwined in everything like a heavy mountain pressing on Emperor Yin's body, his face became more and more calm like a thousand years of ice, and the cold chill in his heart was slowly released, so that the guards standing in front of the imperial study felt a deep fear, and the chill seemed to go straight to their hearts along the imperial spear they were holding, freezing them from head to toe.
But this kind of coldness didn't appear for long, and Gonggong Wei, who had flexible legs and feet, bent down and walked into the imperial study, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the great priest has arrived." ”
Emperor Yin's lowered eyelids raised slightly, and he heard the sound of the wheel slowly rolling over the imperial bricks, such a slight sound kept appearing between the gaps in the imperial bricks, why did it appear so unfamiliar
The voice, Emperor Yin couldn't help but know.
He only knew that in addition to losing a son, he also lost one of his most loyal courtiers and friends, and he also had the one who had paid the most for the Yin State and was the only female general since the establishment of the Yin State.
Emperor Yinhuang listened to such a voice, as if he remembered many things in an instant, until the voice stopped, he slowly raised his head, and the bald man sitting in the wheelchair also happened to look at him, and he couldn't tell whether it was indifference or mockery, maybe there were both.
Emperor Yin's gaze suddenly became complicated, and the great priest of the Yin Kingdom in front of him was still wearing that simple white robe, and there were still bruises on his face, as if he had been tortured before coming here.
Thick bronze chains were firmly bound to his arms and legs in order to secure him to the wheelchair. These chains with barbs and engraved spells can temporarily deprive the great priest of the qi in his body, making him temporarily reduced to a mortal, unable to escape with the art of Qimen and honestly accept the judgment of Emperor Yin, and only in this way can the eunuchs dare to send this great priest with strength comparable to a half-immortal to His Majesty the Emperor.
The eunuch pushing the wheelchair sent Guo Yu to a position less than ten steps away from the emperor in a sincere panic, and under the command of the eyes of Gonggong Wei, he couldn't wait to grow two more legs and leave this place where the king's coercion was everywhere as fast as possible.
The eunuch ran all the way away, and only when he was on a foothold that he was extremely far away from the imperial study did he dare to wipe the cold sweat from his head.
Gonggong Wei, who was the only one who was calm in the imperial study, raised his eyebrows and glanced at His Majesty the Emperor and the great priest, and under the chill of Emperor Yin, he bent down and retreated, and did not forget to close the door for them when he left.
No matter what kind of conversation the two of them would have today, Emperor Yin didn't want any words to circulate and let anyone hear the conversation between them.
After fifteen days of coma, Emperor Yin finally woke up from the imperial bed, which can be regarded as a reassuring pill for the hundred officials of the imperial court.
Everyone knows that Emperor Yin is a legend, except for His Royal Highness the Son of the Son, no one in the Yin Kingdom can hurt him, and the existence of monsters is only monsters.
The door to the study was slammed shut, as if the inside and the outside were two worlds.
All the voices and breaths were completely different existences, and only the Yinhuang who stood straight and stood tall and the great priest Guo Yu who was tied to a wheelchair by bronze chains were left.
Outside the Imperial Study, there are a group of elite Imperial Forest soldiers armed with iron guns.
Once there was any situation in the imperial study that might hurt Emperor Yin, they would not hesitate to rush into the imperial study and kill the old man in a wheelchair.
Once a king and a courtier, now the king stood upright, and the courtiers sat quietly, looking at each other like strangers.
Emperor Yinhuang quietly looked at Guo Yu's eyes and the old age spots on his face, and wanted to say
If the old man in front of him did any feats, the court of Yinguo did not exaggerate his past deeds too much, only knowing that he used to be a lowly warlock, but he had a fateful friendship with Emperor Yin, so he was promoted to the rank of great priest and Qintian supervisor.
On weekdays, except for stargazing and drinking in Tai'an Mountain, he rarely appears in Lin'an City, and even the position left for him in the court is empty for a whole year, but no one dares to underestimate the existence of this great priest.
The battle of the Golden Horde was that he rode a thin horse and crashed into the Golden Horde general who was about to kill Chu Xiaohua, killing him and saving Chu Xiaohua's life.
The battle of the west is that he gave the prophecy that the west should die, and the great Yin should be prosperous, and the Yin Emperor raised troops to attack the Xilin Dynasty, completely defeating the Xilin Dynasty, which was once the most powerful in the northern regions, and as the courtier of the Yin Emperor, he did his duty to the king.
Now that he has obtained the prophecy of the black-clothed Xingqin, the troubled times, when he knew that Chu Xuanzhao was the black-clothed Great Qin in the prophecy, he couldn't sit idly by, and watched the child die at the hands of his father, and would rather risk treason than send him out of this country.
As an elder who watched Chu Xianzhao grow up since he was a child, he did everything he could and did not regret it at all.
Emperor Yin's eyes can't tolerate the existence of the country that is a disaster, even if the black clothes are his son, he has to endure the pain of love for the sake of the country.
But Guo Yu doesn't care much about these rumors that are difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, his eyes can accommodate the child who will greet him affectionately every time he sees him, and he can tolerate this so-called troubled Daqin black clothes.
Guo Yu, who was thin and thin in a wheelchair, let out a low laugh, and said in a hoarse voice: "If it's really a person who goes to tea and cools, Chu Xiaohua, Chu Xiaohua, now I finally encountered something that you and I can't calculate, and you and I can't count people's hearts, how do you feel in your heart?"
Emperor Yinhuang listened to the ridicule from his relatives and friends, and said in a calm voice: "There are no clever chess players on the chessboard, and when the chess pieces are dropped, what the final trend of the chess game will be only known at the moment when the winner or loser is clear." It can be said that the heroes are not free, Chu Xianzhao is willing to destroy his future for the sake of that Great Qin female ghost, and I will be missing a chess piece, which will not hinder the overall situation. ”
Did Guo Yu see Chu Xiaohua injured once, and happily sprinkled salt on his wound and said: "If it is really a prince's widowhood thinner than paper, he is your biological son, you use him as a chess piece?" Such a ruthless hand is only done by you Chu Xiaohua, the king of the king is loyal to the king, Qin Tianjian sometimes even I, the prisoner, do not believe these proverbs, a prophecy tells you to kill your son, you will kill it, if the prophecy asks you to dig your mother's grave, will you do it? Or can you not bear Xiao Zhao to give up the identity of the son of Yinguo? Do you think that he is the destined Emperor of Great Qin and will subvert your country in the future? I am too lazy to think about these things, and I can't guess what you think, Xiao Zhao's hard-working child was born without a mother, and he also put up your unlucky father
, this time I took him out of the Yin Kingdom, and I Guo Yu was looking for death, but I won't watch him being killed by you, whether he is the proverbial Daqin black clothes or not. ”
"If digging the grave can fill every inch of the Southern Continent with the banner of the Yinguo Iron Horse, I would be happy to dig it myself, but the problem now is that Chu Xianzhao and that Daqin princess were sent away by you, and the two of them are the black clothes of the proverbial Yin, do you want to harm every person in this dynasty?"
"Even if we know the future through prophecy, the future will not be changed in any way, what should happen will still happen, what should rise will rise, what should die will die, but in a different way. ”
"The future can be changed, and you ruined it all!"
Emperor Yin slowly shook his head and said: "It has been three thousand years since the Great Qin Dynasty was destroyed, what is the significance of Chu Xuanzhao wearing the Great Qin Dragon Robe again? In the long run, every step I take now is trembling, for fear that if I make a wrong move, the entire Dayin Dynasty will collapse like a sand bar, so I must extinguish any possibility that threatens the existence of the dynasty, whether that threat is my son or not, what I have done in this life is just to be a correct person in the history books. ”
Guo Yu's eyes drooped slightly, and the hint of ridicule at the corner of his mouth never dissipated, and said: "You don't understand what I said, I don't understand what you say, is killing your own son the right person? If the history books really record that what Chu Xiaohua is doing now is a righteous act of destroying relatives and the destiny of heaven, then this history book should be torn off and taken to wipe people's butts." ”
Emperor Yin didn't seem to have the heart to entangle and be sarcastic with him any longer, so he directly asked the most critical question, and said in a stern tone: "Where did Xiao Zhao go?"
Guo Yu smiled and said: "The question you are asking now, the people who tortured me these days seem to want to know, but I can only give you four words - no comment." ”
"Concealing his whereabouts won't save him, and it won't save you. ”
Guo Yu seemed to listen to a big joke, smiled and then said slowly: "Xiao Zhao is completely different from you, a father, that kid treats people sincerely, and whoever treats him well, he will treat him well, so no matter where he goes, there will be people who will treat him, so I am very relieved to send him out of this country that wants his life." I don't know where he's going. He wants me to tell you that he will definitely come back to Yinguo, if you can live until that time. ”
Emperor Yinhuang was silent, his hands behind his back looked at Guo Yu in the wheelchair with sharp eyes, as if thinking about his words, his extremely thin lips were like blades, and the moment he was out of the sheath was cold, he said: "He is not your child, and you are not his father." ”
"I just want to protect him, it has nothing to do with blood kinship, kid
He gave me a hug before he left, and what about you? What did he give you before he left?"
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Yin's lips pursed tighter, and he could vaguely see the green tendons on his neck, and said word by word: "Do you think I am wasting time chatting with you?"
Guo Yu's eyes sharpened, and he stared at Emperor Yin and asked, "Does Your Majesty want to kill me?"
"Don't you and her deserve to die?"
"I deserve to die if I give away your child, but why should she die? It's because she can't let go of your son to save him, so you kill her with random arrows? She's also a child, whether it's Hua Youyue, Li Changyuan, or Chen Qingkang, we all watched these children grow up, and now they're all dead! We, the damned people, are still alive, and the unworthy ones are all dead, all because of you!"
Guo Yu sighed faintly, as if at this time, in the air in the imperial study, those young people who used to be as tall as swords appeared, they were so young and proud, they once loudly promised to dedicate their lives to the country, and they finally fulfilled their promise to die for the country, but the country will be restless.
The indifferent ridicule came to an abrupt end, it was obvious that Emperor Yin didn't want to mention the matter of the moon at all, even in the face of this friend who had been with him for decades, he still maintained the dignity of a king, firmly believing that I was not wrong with these four words.
Guo Yu looked at Emperor Yinhuang with a slight squint, as if he wanted to use his greatest strength to tear open the scars on this man's heart, dig out the bloody black heart, and show him how dark his heart was.
"No matter what, you can't deny that you murdered your own son for your own power, for this so-called country, and murdered the poor woman whose entire family died for Yinguo, she didn't betray Yinguo, she just betrayed you!
Emperor Yin fell into silence, slowly closed his eyes, as if he was recalling something, but his lips were still moving, and his voice was cold: "I can't help it...... Those who are not of my race will have different hearts. Chu Xianzhao put on the Great Qin Dragon robe in front of me, and from the moment he gave up the Shizi Eagle robe, he was no longer a member of the Yin Kingdom, and it was the same for Hua Youyue to save him...... I pity that woman more than any of you, and I endure whatever she did in the Battle of the West, or what happened to Xiao Zhao...... But this is the only thing I can't bear. ”
Guo Yu only wanted to laugh when he heard Emperor Yin's words, and rebuked him mercilessly: "A good person who is not of my race must have a different heart, you have raised a child for so many years, can't you still see what kind of heart he has? The current situation is all created by you, and there are many ways to solve the problem, but when he puts on the Great Qin Dragon robe, you should stop, but the madness still disperses you to kill your own son, in this case, do you want to know what your son said before leaving? Let me be one."
Tell you word by word, listen up, my king ......"
"Now I am expelled from Lin'an City like a dog, and one day, I will set foot on the land of Yinguo again with thousands of troops and horses. ”
"Until I kill Chu Xiaohua, the sword in my hand will definitely not stop wielding, I want Chu Xiaohua to repent of what he has done, and replace the imperial power of the Yin State in the name of Great Qin after his death.
- The black-clothed Qin, the troubled times...... Since he believes in this proverb so much, let it be as you wish!"
Emperor Yin's eyes were shocked, he grabbed the fold on the desk and smashed it at Guo Yu, and after smashing it into the old man's body along with the heavy jade paperweight, it shattered into seven or eight pieces on the ground, making a clattering sound.
The entire imperial study room was like a snowfall, and countless twists and turns fluttered and danced between the monarch and the minister.
Guo Yu's words formed a huge echo in the empty imperial study, and Emperor Yin tried his best to cover his ears to prevent these voices from coming to his mind, but in the end he found that these words seemed to come from his head, resounding repeatedly.
Emperor Yin's eyes became as cold as ice, staring at Guo Yu's eyes deadly, and said word by word: "...... Did he really say that? And you damn minion let him go!"
Guo Yu looked at the man who was out of shape through the falling snow-white folds, with a victor-like smile on his face, slowly admiring the gaffe of the most powerful man in the Yin country, smiling and laughing, his smile gradually became bitter, and he couldn't tell whether he was disappointed or sad about this man, and his mood became extremely complicated for a while.
"You could have left with him...... But why did you want to come back?"
"The reason why I came back to Yinguo is to convey these words of your son to you, so that you can know what kind of mistake you have made. ”
Guo Yu said faintly, Emperor Yin's pair of Dan Fengyang had a penetrating fierce light, raised his sleeves indifferently, and roared: "You don't want to stimulate me anymore, do you have to force me to kill you with my own hands?"
Guo Yu's pupils gradually shrank, and he sighed: "Kill if you want, kill me, as a warlock, I should have died many years ago, maybe God has never let me die, just to let me complete such a thing." ”
After Guo Yu said this, the imperial study fell into an extremely terrifying silence, and the rain outside was still slowly falling, and it was getting heavier and heavier, accompanied by lightning and thunder.
The flickering lightning set off the king's immense size, like a god with a warhammer in his arms.
"Good! good!"
After Emperor Yinhuang said three good words in a row, he gritted his teeth and looked at the old man in the wheelchair, and with the force of spitting out a mouthful of thick phlegm, he shouted in a low voice: "You want to die, right, then I will fulfill your wish, three days later, you will be escorted to Lotus Square, I want the people of Lin'an City to watch you die, and I will also announce the people of Yinguo,
It was you who let go of the Great Qin Black Clothes who were the calamity of the Yin Kingdom, and the suffering that happened in the city was caused by you alone, and I want the executioner to cut you with a thousand knives, put you to death, and crush your bones and scatter ashes, this is the price you paid for him!"
Emperor Yin's face became more and more pale, his eyes gradually became hollow, and he said things like a madman.
"I accept such a price, and I am willing to be such a scapegoat, in order to calm the anger of the people, no one is more suitable than me to be such a scapegoat, for the sake of Xiaozhao, I Guo Yu admitted!"
Guo Yu, who was sitting in a wheelchair, looked at the man who was gradually falling into madness, and didn't seem to care too much about what kind of tragic fate he would face.
Guo Yu leaned on the wheelchair, and his thin palm stretched out from his sleeve and slowly grabbed the armrest of the wheelchair, like a dead man grasping a life-saving straw.
At this moment, his figure was extremely lonely and lonely, looking up at the map of the world dynasty hanging on the imperial study, his eyes moved from the Northern Yin Kingdom to the south, as if he was moving with the journey of the young son, looking at the thousands of mountains and rivers on the map, silent.
Guo Yu closed his eyes, as if he saw the back of the young man in the land of Nanlu, he turned his head, waved his hand and greeted him with a smile.
If you see a gentleman, you can drink warm tea.
It's good to live like this, it's good to be like this, Guo Yu thought to himself.
Emperor Yin was silent for a long time after roaring, and the wound under the imperial robe slowly opened due to excitement.
Blood slowly flowed down his chest, and traces of different shades appeared on the imperial robe, which was particularly thrilling.
Tick, tick, tick......
Bleeding rained down.
I don't know how long time passed, and the soldiers guarding outside the imperial study heard an alarmingly loud voice, thinking that His Majesty the Emperor had an accident and wanted to rescue him with a gun.
At this moment, the door of the imperial study was shaken open by the qi machine, and a white figure fell heavily in front of them.
Guo Yu coughed up the black blood in his throat heavily, and his whole body was wet with rain and blood from his forehead.
The old man slowly stood up and walked in the direction of the Golden Luan Palace, still dragging the two bronze chains on his ankles, so that each step was extremely slow and heavy.
The back image is like a lost dog abandoned by its owner.
