Xie Ronghua dealt with Ba Sheng's rebels resolutely, but in just three days, the entire rebel army was destroyed, and he left the people and horses to clean up the aftermath and rushed back to Jiucheng Palace without stopping. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Your Highness!"

Geng Qing happily called out that he and Liu Hongye got the news of his return today, so they led a group of officials to wait outside the gate of Jiucheng Palace!

Xie Ronghua turned over and dismounted, and the people waiting outside the door knelt down in unison, and shouted in unison: "Welcome to the victorious return of His Royal Highness King Qin!" ”

Xie Ronghua looked at the tall and majestic palace gate in front of him and the officials of all colors kneeling beside him with respectful expressions, exuding an aura of looking at the world, he knew that from now on, in the Wei State, he no longer needed to look at anyone's face, and no one could force him to do anything.

He walked up to Geng Qing and Liu Hongye, helped the two of them up personally, and said warmly: "It's hard work. “

"It is a blessing for the old minister to be able to serve His Royal Highness King Qin." Liu Hongye said with a smile!

Xie Ronghua smiled faintly and said in a deep voice to the courtiers around him: "Everyone get up too!" ”

After he finished speaking, he took the lead in stepping into the palace gate, and asked Geng Qing as he walked: "Is my father still in the Danxiao Palace?" ”

Geng Qing nodded and said, "Since Xie Yunzhi's death, he hasn't seen anyone anymore. “

Xie Ronghua's eyes were slightly downcast, and he said in a low voice: "When this king freshens up, I will go to see him!" ”

Xie Yun sat on the bed with a sloppy gaze, his face was tired and his hair was gray, the imperial aura on his body seemed to have dissipated in that night, and the whole person was much older all of a sudden, he was nearly sixty years old, looking back on this life, he didn't know what he had done for a while? How did you get to where you are now?

The door of the palace creaked open, Shang Xi walked in carefully, knelt in front of Xie Yun and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Qin has come down!" ”

Xie Yun listened to his words, his eyes lit up, and he said in a deep voice: "Let him in!" ”

He tidied up his appearance, and for a while it seemed that he had changed back to the supreme emperor in the world.

Xie Ronghua walked up to him step by step and knelt straight in front of him.

He looked at the son in front of him, whom he was best and most proud of, and whispered, "I'm back!" ”

Xie Ronghua looked at him and said in a deep voice: "Ba Sheng's rebels have been completely annihilated by his ministers, and Ba Sheng has also been killed by his subordinates......"

Before he finished his words, he snapped, and he had already received a slap on the face from Xie Yun, Xie Yun's eyes were red, and there was suppressed pain in his eyes: "Why?" ”

Xie Ronghua turned his head slowly, he looked at him, and said with a light smile: "Does Father want to ask Erchen why he didn't spare his eldest brother's life, or why did he put Father under house arrest here?" “

He said it bluntly, which shocked Xie Yun's heart, he looked at Xie Ronghua, and said helplessly: "Ronghua, my father has promised you, and when you return from chaos, you are the prince, why do you still do such a thing?" ”

Xie Ronghua lowered his eyes and muttered, "Why?" Because my father never gave me faith! ”

He looked up at Xie Yun and said softly: "Once my father promised me that I would return victoriously, Xi Ning would be my princess, I believed it, and when I returned to the dynasty with a great victory, my father forced me to marry someone else, so that I was separated from my beloved woman, and later, when I was poisoned in the East Palace, I begged my father to go to Luoyang, and my father also agreed, and when I was full of longing to prepare, my father ordered me to stay, my father knew what my eldest brother did to me, but he has been protecting him, if I didn't have military merits to protect, maybe I would have died a long time ago, so this time, The promise of the father, the son dare not and cannot believe it anymore! “

Xie Yun's heart froze, he thought that what he had done to him would make him sad, but he didn't expect that it had hurt him so much, he looked at Xie Ronghua and said with some sadness: "Ronghua, have you always hated being a father." ”

Xie Ronghua looked at Xie Yun, his eyes were full of sadness: "What answer does my father want to hear?" From the moment you forced me to marry a woman I didn't love, my father felt that his son should continue to love his father? ”

Xie Yun was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "So, from that moment on, Yunzhi and Father have become stumbling blocks in your eyes, haven't they?" ”

Xie Ronghua was silent, Xie Yun shook his head slightly, and sighed: "The matter has come to this, and my father doesn't want to blame you for anything, I can give you the crown prince you want, and even the throne of my father, but you have to promise me one thing!" ”

Xie Ronghua looked at him, Xie Yun said lightly: "Bury Yunzhi with the gift of the prince, this is what you owe him, besides, don't embarrass the people of the East Palace!" “

Xie Ronghua's eyes condensed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "I can promise anything else, but the eldest brother's son can't stay!" ”

Xie Yun looked at him in horror, only to hear him say in a deep voice: "Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, this is the truth that my father taught his sons from the time when his sons broke Zhang Qin, isn't it?" ”

Xie Yun only felt that Xie Ronghua in front of him made him unfamiliar like never before, and now he, compared to Xie Yunzhi, or even compared to himself, may be more suitable for the position of emperor, he said a little tiredly: "I understand, you go down, I will make you the crown prince later." ”

Xie Ronghua respectfully kowtowed to him, slowly stood up, and walked towards the main hall step by step, at the moment when he was about to step out of the palace gate, Xie Yun suddenly asked him: "Ronghua, if your father lets you go to Luoyang, will you not kill your eldest brother and brother." ”

Xie Ronghua's figure stiffened, he turned his head to look at Xie Yun against the light, and said softly: "Yes!" ”

At least while you're alive, yes.

He didn't tell Xie Yun all the thoughts in his heart, he thought, he was unfilial enough, and he always had to leave a little hope and thought for his old father.

Xie Yun listened to his words, slightly moved, and after Xie Ronghua left, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of helplessness.

When the sun was setting, Xie Yun prepared the most important holy decree for him in this life, he asked Shang Xi to call Liu Hongye over, looking at Liu Hongye with a respectful expression, he opened his mouth and asked: "Liu Aiqing, there is something I still can't figure out, can you help me solve my doubts?" ”

Liu Hongye's expression tightened, and he said in a low voice: "What does Your Majesty want to ask?" Weichen knows everything! ”

"Why is the person you chose the King of Qin?" He looked at Liu Hongye, his eyes full of puzzlement: "Your eldest daughter is the princess of Shu, and your second daughter is married to the prince's henchman, and your choice, why is the king of Qin?" ”

"Because in the eyes of Weichen, King Qin is the most suitable person for that position, and against King Qin, Weichen has no certainty of winning, it is better to follow King Qin, fight for a dragon work, and seek a more stable position for the Liu family in the new dynasty." Liu Hongye said slowly.

"Liu Aiqing is really as wise as a torch! Never go the wrong way. Xie Yun handed over the holy decree in his hand to Liu Hongye and said in a low voice: "However, does Liu Aiqing really think that I, a son who is both civil and military, can tolerate your Liu family's dominance?" If one day you have to face him, who will you choose? ”

Liu Hongye's hand shook when he received the holy decree, quickly settled down, and smiled lightly at Xie Yun: "Your Majesty Xie reminds that Weichen will be more careful and try not to confront His Royal Highness King Qin." ”
