Chapter 32: His Reason
Duan Chenjing had said this to him many times, and he seemed to be muttering to himself. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Leng Chen didn't answer him, just smiled bitterly and looked up at the nebula in the sky.
In fact, the answer is self-evident, everyone has their own things that they are not willing to give up in their lifetime.
The court officials want to chase fame and fortune, the common people want to live and work in peace and contentment, the people in the rivers and lakes want the idle clouds and wild cranes, the red sleeves that Leng Chen wants, and the revenge he wants...... Even if it is their whole life, it is the most unswerving pursuit in their hearts.
Sometimes, he can't help but ask himself: "Why are you so persistent?" ”
He also thought about giving up and finding a place to live well, as his mother said. However, whenever he thought of this thought, his heart would inexplicably throb with pain, those cold corpses, the ruined city-state, the old and weak women and children crying...... will haunt him like a nightmare, so that he can't eat day and night. Especially the scene where his father and queen mother jumped off the city wall, and he still had palpitations when he woke up from his dreams every night. What's more, his own sister is still deeply poisoned by the cold cicada, lying on the bed like a living dead, how can he not hate, how can he not be attached?
Leng Chen suddenly remembered something, turned his head to look at him and asked, "I've been gone for so many days, and there are inevitably a little too many things happening in the capital." You told me that you were going to assassinate the emperor, I thought you were just talking, but I didn't expect it to be carried out. ”
"I didn't kill the emperor." Duan Chenjing's words were emotionless, as if he was just gossiping with him.
Leng Chen looked at him in disbelief, "When I heard about the assassination of the emperor in Lan Zhao, I always thought that you did it. I think when he first heard the news, he was shocked at first, although Duan Chenjing didn't explain to him the reason why he wanted to do this, he didn't want to ask too much. He was just shocked, this kid has always made careful arrangements for any plan, and then acted on it. But this time, from the time he heard that he was going to assassinate the emperor to the time when the emperor was killed, when did he become so anxious in just half a month?
But now he said that the emperor was not killed by him! Who else but him has the ability to assassinate the emperor in broad daylight?
Duan Chenjing looked at him with an incredulous expression, "Surprised, right?" ”
Leng Chen nodded mechanically, "If it's not you, then who will kill the emperor." ”
Duan Chenjing smiled, that person wouldn't guess it was him if you wanted to break your scalp.
"Who?"
Duan Chenjing's thin lips opened slightly, close to his ear, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Today's crown prince An Hongxi." ”
"What!?" Leng Chen covered his mouth in disbelief, his eyes widened as he looked at Duan Chenjing, his face full of incredulity.
Duan Chenjing nodded, indicating that you heard it correctly.
"How could it be ······" Leng Chen still couldn't believe it.
The prince is the kind of person who is timid and submissive in everyone's hearts, and he knows at a glance that he can't become a big thing. Everyone is not optimistic about him, and there is always a kind of country that once it is in his hands, the country will be ruined.
It is also for this reason that several high-ranking and powerful ministers in the court will show signs of usurping the throne.
Who knew that the prince could do such a rebellious thing that violated the principles of heaven and humanity, and the emperor was his own father!
The face of his father dared to assassinate, he was already mad to this point?
Sure enough, the ancients said that "people should not be disguised" is indeed a piece of advice, the more dull and unangry people are, the more they can do something that catches you off guard and is difficult to accept.
Leng Chen shook his head sluggishly and sighed, "Crazy, crazy." Why did he assassinate his father? "To fight for the throne? As far as he knew, the former emperor had very few concubines in his life because of Ning Yueqing, and the only heirs who survived to the present were the crown prince and the prince Yuchen, who was too sick to walk. Sooner or later, the world is his, why is he in a hurry?
But if it wasn't for the sake of fighting for the throne, what could make him want to kill his father?
Forget it, royal affairs are already complicated, and even if you explore, you can't find any results.
"What about you? Chen Jing, why did you assassinate the emperor? ”
Leng Chen couldn't help but sigh, it was not easy to be an emperor. Not only is his own son fighting his own idea, but even his nephew is thinking about assassinating himself. If it were him, he would rather choose to commit suicide, so as not to worry about being calculated every day.
But how can Duan Chenjing say that he is also his own nephew, usually he takes care of him a lot, and the two have not had too many conflicts, what is the reason why Duan Chenjing would rather go against heaven and humanity than fight against the water?
Duan Chenjing's hand slapped heavily on the railing, his expression was as dark as a dark cloud in the night sky, and it seemed to contain great anger.
The other day, the general, who had spared him a few years earlier, came to him and told him everything about that time.
It turned out that the idea of several countries jointly attacking their Mu country was planned by the former emperor and his dead uncle. He originally wanted to marry his sister, Duan Chenjing's mother, to the leader of the Ji Man tribe, which was cruel by nature, eating raw meat and drinking raw blood, and was arrogant and unreasonable. In order to get the wolf king of the Jiman tribe, he did not hesitate to use his own sister as a condition in exchange.
The wolf king of the Jiman tribe is a snow wolf on the snowy plateau, with a noble breed, bloodthirsty and ferocious nature. They are strong and strong, how could his grandfather promise his daughter to that barbarian land? Even if there are only some old and weak soldiers in their country, they will never marry a princess with such a noble status to that kind of place.
When the former emperor, who was still the crown prince, mentioned this matter to his father, he was really scolded. In addition, the princess An Ruosu at that time and Duan Huang, the crown prince of Mu Kingdom, were in love, and the two countries also had the meaning of friendship. Although such a small episode occurred, An Ruosu still naturally became the queen of Mu Kingdom.
But this made the emperor depressed all the time, and it was difficult to vent. And the leader of the Jiman tribe sent people to deliver the letter several times, luring the wolf king, hoping to hug the beauty.
In the end, because he wanted to get the wolf king too much, he spread rumors among the four surrounding countries of Mu Guo, saying that Mu Guo had obtained a rare treasure and vowed to annihilate them in one fell swoop.
In this way, it angered the kings of the other four kingdoms. They united and said that they would take precautions and kill Mu Guo before he could make any moves.
Originally, Mu was the most powerful country in the surrounding countries at that time, and with the support of the Yang country, it was more than enough to deal with a few small surrounding countries, but a tie was not a problem.
However, the commander who led these four countries was Lu Yixuan, the leader of the Jiman tribe, and the armies of these four countries were mixed with their soldiers, all of whom were brave and good at fighting, and were invincible.
The two sides were in a stalemate for several months, and Mu Guo was defeated with fewer enemies.
In fact, when the war had just begun, Duan Chenjing's father saw that the situation was not right, so he immediately sent people to the country to ask for help, and the country also allocated 100,000 troops to support.
Originally, the distance between the two countries was not particularly far, even if a large army marched, it would take more than a month to arrive. But they Mu Guo had been struggling to support them for more than three months, and they still hadn't seen a single soldier of the Yang Kingdom.
This also made Duan Chenjing's mother An Ruosu feel sorry for her father, thinking that her father was unwilling to help her through this difficulty.
But who knows, the real reason why the army has not arrived for a long time is that her own brother hired ghost killers to kill them all at a high price on the way! It was a whole 100,000 lives, and the bones of 100,000 people were covered and buried by the yellow sand, and there were no bones left.
Without him, Duan Chenjing's country would not have perished, and his parents would not have jumped off the city wall and died for their country.
His sister wouldn't have been poisoned by the chill on the way away.
He was not displaced, and he took his sister away. lives a life under the fence and no one cares.
How could he not be resentful, and how could he forget this blood feud?
After listening to the reason, Leng Chen could only bow his head in silence. He was the same age as him, but he was carrying too much.
What he shouldered was not only the lives of the people of their Mu country, but also the enmity of the 100,000 reinforcements of the country.
"Chenjing, I'm ......"
Duan Chenjing held back the tears in his eyes, looked at him resolutely, and said, "So Leng Chen, do you think my uncle should be killed." ”
Leng Chen nodded, it really should, with so many life debts, killing him tens of thousands of times is not enough to pay it off.
"Does that mean that the emperor was assassinated before you could act?"
"Yes or no. I asked the Forgotten Dust and the others to carry out the assassination order, but they collided with the prince's people at the same time and in the same place. ”
"So a few of them didn't do anything, so they picked up such a big bargain for nothing?" Leng Chen looked at him, and his voice unconsciously raised a few points, with a slight resentment in it.
Duan Chenjing frowned and looked at him, what kind of trouble is this? Although it is true that they have not done anything, they have also walked away, and it is not like they have done nothing, right?
Listening to the description of him when Forget Chen came back, it seems that the scholar finally drugged the emperor, right?
Thinking of the reason for the drug at that time, Duan Chenjing could only hehe in his heart, obviously wanting to make the family die a little more peacefully, but it turned out to make people die even more painfully.
Forget the dust They are right, even those who don't let go of the dying are better to stay away.
Thinking of this, Duan Chenjing couldn't help but nodded. Well, that's right, let everyone stay away from scholars in the future.
If the scholar knew that he let his master dislike him so much because of his carelessness, he would definitely not sprinkle that medicine powder on his neck even if he put a knife on his neck.
Leng Chen ran to the stone table to the side and sat down angrily, thinking that he couldn't relieve his anger, and slapped the table again.
When he heard that the emperor had been assassinated, he guessed that they must have done it. I think that because he heard that everyone said that all the assassins were annihilated by the Yulin Army, he was worried for several days, for fear that they would have some strengths and weaknesses.
But when he came back, he didn't see the spirit positions of a few of them, thinking that it should be a few of them who had already retreated, and the people who were killed were just some of their subordinates.
Then he went on to worry about whether some of them were badly injured, and secretly regretted that he couldn't come back to fight with them.
It's good now, and the few of them didn't have to make a little effort, and they just sat back and enjoyed it.
He traveled a long distance alone, arrived at Lanzhao, dealt with those people, and begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother to let them help him with his errands.
is also Duan Chenjing's person, why is the gap so big......
