Overtime is not terrible, and it is terrible to save the manuscript when you come back from overtime! Save the manuscript! Deposit!! Say the important thing three times! ――
"Why are you keeping your mouth shut and suffering this senseless dumb loss?" Liang Yinhao seemed to have an interrogative tone and said coldly.
"Brother Chen did know that there was something wrong with that subordinate for a long time, but..."King Rui said weakly, with a slight pause in his words, as if sorting out the wording, and said slowly after a long time, "But Brother Chen is not sure if he is just Huo Pei'an's person. ”
King Rui did not use 'is not Huo Pei'an's person', but used 'just Huo Pei'an's person', the words are very tactful, but it is also very clear, the meaning is: he doesn't know whether the trick of poisoning and assassination is just Huo Pei'an's meaning, or whether there is the emperor's instructions behind it.
Liang Yinhao naturally understood the hidden meaning of King Rui's words, slammed the table, and hurriedly cleared up: "Nonsense! I've never had this kind of thought, fifth brother, why do you think so?"
King Rui's heart was cold, and he couldn't help sneering: You don't have such a mind? If it weren't for the fear of the Queen Mother, I'm afraid I would have died millions of times in your hands, right?
However, King Rui still had a sad expression on his face and continued to play the trick. He slowly sat opposite Liang Yinhao and said with a wry smile: "The younger brother knows that when his father was alive, the imperial brother always regarded his younger brother as the biggest stumbling block to ascending to the throne. Even today, this knot in your heart has not been untied, and you are also afraid of your courtiers. ”
Liang Yinhao's face froze, he didn't expect King Rui to be so straightforward to say the problem that had been between the two for many years, and he was surprised, but he didn't know how to respond for a while, only staring at the puddle of water stains on the ground in a daze, his brows tightened.
At this time, King Rui said softly: "So the younger brother pretended to be smart, and preconceived that Huo Xiang's move was to obtain the secret permission of the imperial brother. In addition, the matter of the household department, the courtier's brother was not careful, which brought a lot of trouble to the royal brother, if he was not severely punished, it would be difficult to calm the anger of the people, so he had such a ridiculous idea. If it weren't for the fact that the imperial brother was defenseless against the tea, and he really misunderstood the imperial brother, it was really the negligence of the younger brother. ”
It was obvious that he was poisoned by someone and plotted, but at this time, King Rui spoke in an apologetic tone, as if he was the one who had done something wrong. Liang Yinhao narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Do you think I want to kill you?" ”
King Rui smiled with relief and asked rhetorically, "Didn't the emperor have such a thought?" ”
Liang Yinhao was stunned, he was originally questioning the other party, but he didn't expect King Rui's words to make him speechless for a while. He pondered for a long time, and then said, "What if this is really what I mean?" You don't hold a grudge at all? Is this something that's going to kill you? You are also human, and if you are human, you are afraid of death!"
"Yes, I'm also human, and I'm afraid of death." King Rui suddenly smiled, smiled very lightly, and said word by word, "But the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die." I'm mortal, but I'm also a courtier!"
Liang Yinhao asked in disbelief, "Even if I want to kill you?!"
"Life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, it shouldn't be so important." King Rui said faintly, his pupils flashing with a light that Liang Yinhao couldn't discern. "What's more, the younger brother is just a waste now, what is the difference between dead and alive? If the death of the minister can reassure the emperor and stabilize the country, then even if it turns into a wisp of dust, it will be a worthwhile trip. ”
If Liang Yinhao still felt that he couldn't understand the younger brother in front of him just now, then now he is completely confused. In the past, because of the struggle for the throne, he always tried his best to suppress King Rui, even if he couldn't kill him for a while, he would definitely let him fall to the bottom and never turn over. But he never imagined that the person he had always regarded as the biggest enemy and the biggest threat could look at him so indifferently, even if he intended to kill him, he could accept it calmly and without the slightest resentment.
Liang Yinhao pondered silently for a while, sighed heavily, and said, "Whose hand is it in today's matter, I know in my heart. Fifth brother, don't worry, I will give you an answer. ”
King Rui's face sank, and he said in a low voice: "Brother has something I want to ask for Brother Huang!" ”
Liang Yinhao snorted coldly, thinking: King Rui has always been at odds with Huo Pei'an, and the two of them have pinched and fought each other to this point. This time, Huo Pei'an was caught by King Rui with this little braid, how could he not make good use of it? It seems that King Rui wants to ask himself to punish Huo Xiang severely, right?
Liang Yinhao said quietly: "Fifth brother, just speak. ”
King Rui knelt on the ground with his legs with difficulty, and said in a resolute tone: "The younger brother asks the emperor not to spread the word that happened today, let alone punish Huo Xiang for the sake of the younger brother." ”
Liang Yinhao thought that King Rui would take this opportunity to weaken Huo Pei'an's power and even suppress Huo Pei'an, but he didn't expect the situation to be the opposite, he took the initiative to ask himself to let Huo Pei'an go. Liang Yinhao was really surprised by this unbelievable request, and asked, "Don't you pursue it?" Just let Huo Pei'an go? ”
"Yes!" Rui Wang said firmly, not joking at all. "Wechen hopes that this matter will end here and that the matter will be settled."
"Why?" Liang Yinhao asked puzzled, he didn't believe that there was such a wide heart in this world. "Huo Pei'an is going to kill you?"
"Brother Huang, don't get me wrong. It is impossible to say that the subordinate brother does not hate or resent at all, but there are things in this world that are much more important than the personal life and honor of the subordinate brother. Rui Wang said loudly, but his thin body looked extraordinarily tall at the moment, "That's the national society!" Now Huo Xiang's power cannot be underestimated, if the emperor rashly punishes Huo Xiang for his ministers, then Huo Xiang's party will be unhappy in their hearts, and it will be big to cause turmoil in the government and the opposition. Neither the courtiers nor the emperor can take such a risk! What's more, Huo Xiang and his brother are just personal grievances, many years of misunderstanding, Huo Xiang is not disloyal to the country, unjust to the king, the emperor will see that Huo Xiang has been working hard for the country for many years, let Huo Xiang go this time. ”
Hearing King Rui's words, Liang Yinhao felt numb, and the strength around his body seemed to be suddenly withdrawn from his limbs, and he was stunned on the spot, staring at King Rui speechlessly.
King Rui smiled indifferently and said again: "Moreover, the younger brother now knows that this qiē is not the original intention of the imperial brother, and his heart has long been relieved, and the original unwillingness has also disappeared. As for the grievances... The younger brother is a person who has experienced life and death, and he doesn't care if he can't breathe this way! ”
Liang Yinhao stood stiffly in place, not saying a word. It is undeniable that while Liang Yinhao was shocked by Ruiwang's remarks, he also felt a helpless sense of identity. Time seemed to have passed for a long time, and Liang Yinhao finally nodded with difficulty.
