Li Chongxin was in the cell of Dali Temple, and his body was no longer human, and he was simply wrapped in a straw mat to resist the cold.

The rats everywhere were still "squeaking" and eating his flesh, and the pain was already numb, but the Xing brothers gave him the best sobering medicine, so he could feel the pain around him day and night.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the lights and fireworks outside the prison are bright, and occasionally bright lights shine into the cells.

Li Chongxin seemed to have returned to the years in the Li family's army, and the soldiers cooked wine and carnival together.

It was on that Chinese New Year's Eve that Li Chongxin held the Blood Wave Sword, dancing like flying, singing to the wine, so unhappy. I remember that I also wrote a poem myself that day:

"The sword is in hand, and the dark room is always bright at night. If you want to know that the sky will rain, Zheng'er sword has a sound. Treacherous and flattering, bold and frightened. Since the arsenal is out, it can rest the world's soldiers. ”

Thinking about it, his face was full of smiles like a child, and the sword at this moment no longer had to be busy for the world's swordsmen.

It doesn't matter if the Li Jiajun is disbanded, what does the province have to do with following him, an inexplicable rebel and thief. I hope that the world will be stable, so that if you die, you will die a well-deserved death.

With a "squeak", the prison door of Dali Temple opened, and Xing Rulong's sharp voice sounded: "Uncle Shi, Prime Minister Zhao Cheng has given you a greeting." ”

Zhao Wuyi was dressed in white, as if he was hanging filial piety, and walked near with a food box in his hand.

Li Chongxin's face was covered with blood, his eyes were facing each other at the moment, and he didn't say anything for a while.

Zhao Wuyi lit two white candles, turned around and shouted at the porter:

"I'll talk to Li Du alone, and the idle people can go to eat and drink, don't disturb the two of us here."

Dali Temple is an official errand, eager to go out to breathe, find a place to drink two cups, so they all dispersed, only the cell was on duty to patrol in the Dali Temple.

Zhao Wuyi filled two glasses of wine and handed Li Chongxin a glass:

"The Governor of Dadu, back then in Luoyang Road, Zhao was just a scribe, thanks to the Governor of Dadu, he recommended me as an internal servant to His Majesty today, and since then it has soared, it is not an exaggeration to say that the benefactor is not an exaggeration.

Zhao took this opportunity to slaughter Su wine and thanked the governor of the capital. ”

With that, he tilted his neck and drank a glass of wine.

Li Chongxin struggled to get up, stretched out his mutilated fingers, and picked up the wine glass tremblingly:

"There is no need to say much, although you were soft-spoken back then, you strongly advocated that Luoyang's military affairs not fall into the hands of Bai Yi, so that Li could free up his hands to rectify the Zuowu Guard.

That's when you saw that you had just skipped people. The noble man is self-helped, and he did it. ”

"It's such a domineering Tusu wine, it's a little strong." Li Chongxin praised.

This second glass of wine is to thank Li Du for saving his life.

In Shushan that year, Zhao collected evidence of King Kang's rebellion and was escorted to Shushan by his comrades for trial.

A figure in black rescued him, although Li Dudu never mentioned this matter, but in the future, only Li Dudu was in Shushan that day, and he was familiar with people and geography, if it weren't for Li Dudu's disguise to save him, there would be no Zhao Wuyi today.

Done! ”

Li Chongxin nodded:

"The heart is as careful as a hair, Li has never regretted saving you, if you die that day, the court will be in chaos, this is the top priority that endangers my Dayu.

Li has always thought about the country, not to be reciprocated by you. Come on, do it! ”

After two glasses of spirits, both of them were a little drunk, Zhao Wuji suddenly stood up and faced the moonlight outside the iron window alone: "Back then, you and I were both young men in our early twenties, and I didn't want to be gray in my temples after the years."

On that day, you and I agreed that we would work together for the country and not be afraid of life and death.

However, on the day of meeting, it was such a scene. ”

Li Chongxin gasped:

"Li Chongxin is still the Li Chongxin of the day, but unfortunately Zhao Wuyi is no longer the white-clothed scholar of the year, but Zhao Xiangguo who lives in the temple."

Zhao Wuji suddenly leaned down and bowed:

"Li Du Mingjian, do you know why the imperial court did not use the army in the country to resist the barbarians in the north, but let the major governors recruit their own army?" Li Chongxin smiled bitterly:

"There is no money in the DPRK, and if such an edict is not issued, there should be no soldiers to fight in the border areas."

Zhao Wuyi nodded frequently:

"What Li Du said is very much, my Dayu is now poor and the people are lacking, the military budget and military salaries are increasing day by day, and the Qingyang Sect in the imperial court is still not clean, where is the money to come to the Northern Expedition again?

Besides, the north and the south have already negotiated peace, why does Li Dudong still insist on doing this way of destroying the country if he watches the fire? ”

Li Chongxin stood up with difficulty, and the straw mat around him was already soaked with blood, and red blood flowed little by little. His eyes were like a pair of giant lamps in the dark:

"This is the difference between you and me, you are only loyal to the monarch, while Li has to think about his family and country.

Qingyang Sect scabies disease, even if it is a disaster to raise troops, it is just a fool of the people.

The northern barbarians are the big trouble, the northerners are not credible, often make peace today, and attack the city tomorrow.

With such a strong neighbor on the side, in case of a sudden elbow and armpit trouble, the ancestral temple cannot be protected, and the Confucian Shengzhou Gong you obey, as well as the imperial examination, may die underground.

You have also been an official for generations, don't you know the importance of this? ”

Zhao Wuyi's face turned white and trembled: "If you go outside, you must first settle inside, and Your Majesty also has difficulties." ”

Li Chongxin sneered:

"Excuse, I ruled Kyushu on the day of the establishment of the dynasty, and now there are only three states left.

Your Majesty and Lord Xiangguo can still be in a corner of peace, and the north and the south make peace, how can they talk about the outside world?

Although Lord Xiangguo can eat and drink, how can the people of the world be safe? What is He'an?

A hundred years later, can Lord Xiangguo have the face to meet the following ancestors? ”

This series of questions made Zhao Wuyi's white face turn red in an instant, and he was so choked that he couldn't spit out a word for a long time. I had to take out the wine glass and fill it again, and fell to my knees:

"This third glass of wine, beg Li Du to save the blame again today, and see Li Du off on Chinese New Year's Eve."

Li Chongxin laughed: "Drinking in the army, a small cup is not enough, change it to a big bowl." ”

Zhao Wuji hurriedly went out and found a large coarse porcelain bowl with a black glaze.

Li Chongxin poured it full:

"What's so difficult about this, the life and death of the country has been realized, and Li's head can make the Xiangguo people safe, can make His Majesty safe today, can make the Dayu family safe, and can make thousands of people safe.

Li's head is worth it, and it is not a pity for Li to die, but I am afraid that the world will be chaotic. ”

After drinking the liquor in the bowl, he dropped the bowl with a "pop".

Outside, the Xing brothers were afraid of change, and after hearing the news, they led the officials to break in one after another.

Zhao Wuji took out the confession from his bosom and wrote it

"And the investigation proved that the former governor of Zhenbei, the founding envoy of the military of Tongwu State, Li Chongxin, committed the crime of violating the northward direction of Yuzhou by the northerners, and was commanded by the relatives 15 times before and after.

He reprimanded Chengyu, as if colluding with the enemy chieftain, and went deep alone, so that the Northern Yan cavalry invaded the capital without saving it, which was a big crime. And because of the dismissal of military power, he discussed with his subordinates, waited for the backlash and defended Yuzhou, and intercepted the source of the Yangtze River, and captured the official private boats, which is also a major crime.

He also repeatedly ordered Wei Ran to report untruths, and made false investigations and other crimes. Dali Temple's "Law": 'Before the army is conscripted, those who have a three-day audit period will be beheaded. ’

'Reprimanding those who take advantage of public opinion and are reasonable and relevant to the key to the point, beheading' is a felony.

His Li Chongxin was convicted of the crime of beheading and private crime: he was sentenced to death with a heavy rod. ”

Li Chongxin looked at it for a long time, shook his head and smiled, took the brush and was about to write.

On the side, Zhao Wuyi "banged" and pinched Li Chongxin's wrist:

"Engong thinks about it, if you write and draw this pen, you will be immortal, and Zhao will be stinking for 10,000 years. How can Zhao be at ease? ”

Li Chongxin pushed Zhao Wuyi's wrist:

"Be loyal to the country, die well, don't want children, the prime minister must have the bearing of sitting and watching the mountains and rivers, in Li's opinion, your and my lives are not as important as the lives of the people in the world."

With a stroke of the pen, the eight big characters on the book "have a clear conscience, heaven and earth can be learned", and closed his eyes and waited for death.

Zhao Wuyi sighed, and shouted with tears in his eyes: "Send Li Du!" ”

The Xing brothers dragged Li Chongxin over, put on the shackles, two big sticks, and detained the prisoner and went straight to Suihua Pavilion.

Along the way, Jin Wuwei in yellow armor, the Beijing Guards in black armor, Jingxi Ruijian Camp in white armor, the infantry commander Yamen in blue armor, and the black-clothed captain of the Beijing Mansion with a pickaxe, all braved the wind and snow, and their whole bodies were on guard, staring at a prisoner walking on the road.

He was no longer young, and the large shackles around his neck were rusty, red blood rust that only formed when soaked in the blood of the prisoners.

But the steps of mortals are extremely firm, stepping on the cold ground step by step "creaking" sound.

Several people in black wore masks on their heads, and they didn't see any appearances.

One of the old voices said: "Alas, a generation of legends has come to an end, and the heroes are in the twilight, how can it not make people sigh and sigh." ”

A delicate female voice said: "Having said that, but the stability of the country is exchanged for blood, in exchange for you and me, can we have Li Du's iron bones?" ”

A middle-aged man's voice said: "If it is you and me, it is easy to go to righteousness generously, but it is difficult to die calmly, I am afraid that there will be a day when I will be replaced by you and me, and Li Chongxin will not walk so calmly, this is the style of a general." ”

Along the way, suddenly the yin wind trumpeted, and the pickaxe capital, which had not seen snow in the entire Layue, suddenly drifted goose feather snow, and instantly even the entire distant mountains were covered in silver.

Li Chongxin hugged his fists in front of a cadre of soldiers: "Thank you for sending me, I can no longer make contributions to the battlefield with you in the future, and you must forge ahead, without losing every inch of my Dayu Heavenly Dynasty!" ”

All the soldiers bowed down: "Forge ahead!" Don't lose an inch of land! Forge ahead! Don't lose an inch of land! ”

A screaming purple-clothed eunuch shouted: "The Privy Council has a Jun name, send Li Du!" ”

All the soldiers knelt down, and their sad and indignant voices reached the sky: "Send Li Du!" ”

"God is crying, God is crying!" The bunch of rice in the city gathered somewhere, and they shouted one after another.

Shenwu Benji records that "in the past, he followed the order to garrison soldiers, and now he is to see the emperor." There is empowerment and treachery, and he seeks to be loyal and upright. In the twenty-fifth year of Yu, the north and the south made peace, and the northern dynasty said that it would kill Chongxin, and then it could be achieved.

Li Chongxin, the former governor of the northern part of the town, was beaten to death by several iron rods in the ribs, vomiting dozens of liters of blood, and died in Suihua Pavilion at the age of 59. ”
