Chapter 60: Cai Liang is killed
In the evening, the afterglow slanted over the windowsill, and the withered hands of a gray-haired old man fell.
"Sir!"
Immediately afterward, there were cries and shouts one after another, loud voices of sorrow, mourning the whole city.
At this time, a man beside the couch clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and sobbed silently, and the woman with a pregnant belly on his side stroked his back, full of unbearable eyes.
"Husband, let's mourn ......"
As soon as the woman's soothing sound came out, the man's mood was even higher, but seeing his fists clenched, his voice trembled and trembled, and there was no end.
"I'll be ...... in the coming day You must kill that Mo Hongfeng, and you must destroy Yi Zhixing's sinister evil intentions! ”
The man trembled, his body was undoubtedly too thick and resentful, and his crystal pupils burst out of boundless gloom, and he couldn't help but blame it on the Son of Heaven.
At this moment, a terrible bird's cry flew through the sky, staining the sky with a touch of white, and piercing the peace of the Imperial Book Pavilion in the air.
"Your Majesty, the news has come that General Cai has died of anger not long ago."
As soon as Yan Qi's voice fell, Yi Zhixing, who was still studying ancient books, immediately stopped the pen in his hand, his eyes gradually became darker, and his peaceful face was instantly violated by a complex look.
"It's finally here."
This is neither happy nor worried, after hearing that Yi Zhilin was about to take up Cai Liang's official position, Yi Zhixing had already calmly accepted this established reality, which has advantages and disadvantages for both, in fact, there is no need to dwell too much on this. However, when I think of Yi Zhilin, I often have to dangle in front of my eyes in the future, and I still make the Son of Heaven unhappy.
"Yan Qi, you can personally send some mourning gifts for me later, don't forget to remind me of the good sixth brother's Day."
The voice of the Son of Heaven is undoubtedly mixed with some ridicule, but at the same time it implies worry and ruthlessness, a Zhilan on the side has already made him depressed, and now there is another opponent in the court, Yi Zhixing is afraid that the future days will be even more difficult.
At this point, the hatred between the brothers began completely, and the confrontation between the two men began quietly.
The next day, the morning dynasty.
It was only a few hours before Yi Zhixing fell asleep, and he hurriedly put on his court clothes and walked away from the early court hall.
He is still the same person in the past, even if he is forced to walk with Zhilan in the ghost gate, he still does not put his own health first, and buries himself in government affairs every day, although the old illness that fell off the cliff often recurs, it seems that he can't pull the mind of the Son of Heaven.
"Your Majesty, you should rest for a while, you didn't sleep for a few hours last night, and in the long run, your body and bones may not be able to bear it."
Yan Qi in the back chattered and persuaded endlessly, Yi Zhixing stopped suddenly, and immediately looked back and slashed at each other.
"Why do you like to get involved in my private affairs like a woman? Could it be that I sleep for a few hours a day and have to be promised by you? ”
The Son of Heaven was inexplicably angry, and his fierce gaze kept burning Yan Qi's face, only making Yan Qi feel cramped and uneasy.
"Your Majesty...... Genus...... Your subordinates are just worried about your well-being, after all, the Son of Heaven has worked too hard in political affairs, so that he has fallen into many diseases in his later years, and his subordinates really don't want you to follow in their footsteps. ”
"I don't have to work hard, so are you taking care of the Yin country for me? I will simply give you the throne of the Son of Heaven. ”
"The subordinates don't dare!"
Yan Qi bowed his head and knelt on the ground, but the Son of Heaven was undiminished, once his thoughts touched the two hard bones of Zhilan and Yi Zhilin, he unceremoniously put all his arrogance on Yan Qi's body. Yi Zhilin is okay, but Na Zhilan has repeatedly provoked the emperor's authority, and now she is exposed under Mo Xiru's nose, and the Son of Heaven has no time and possibility to kill her, this is the knot that the Son of Heaven has been haunting.
The next moment, the Son of Heaven gave the person in front of him a cold look, and then brushed his sleeves away, and his anger was still accumulating.
"Your Majesty!"
At this moment, there was a soft cry from the other side, and following the voice, it turned out to be Mo Xiru.
But seeing her coming quickly, Su Jinzhi's face on her side was obviously unwilling and impatient, and her mouth even pouted angrily.
"Concubine Wen, why are you here? Is it important? Why don't you sleep for a few more hours? ”
Yi Zhixing returned to peace, the rampant arrogance was gone, and they all jumped into the heart.
"Your Majesty, the concubine does have some important matters that she wants to talk to Your Majesty. After the moon banquet last night, the concubine was not at ease and went to see Miss Zhilan again, but found that Miss Zhilan's condition seemed to be more serious, and she wanted to disturb Your Majesty, but she learned that Your Majesty had just fallen asleep at that time and could not bear to disturb it. ”
Shiba, Shiba, or Shiba! What is now flooding Yi Zhixing's mind is often the annoying word, and his head is about to explode almost instantly. Especially since Mo Xiru learned of the existence of Zhilan, the word 'Zhilan' had to jump into his ears more like a daily routine. He really didn't understand why the person in front of him cared so much about a woman he had known for a short time, and it was clear that the woman was still his so-called 'lover', if Mo Xiru really had feelings for herself, then she really had no reason to worry about her life, wouldn't it be best for that woman to die in this lonely deep palace?
Yi Zhixing tried his best to hold back his anger, but the gloomy look on his face still leaked out his true thoughts.
"Your Majesty, you ...... Is this a physical discomfort? Why is your face so ugly......"
"Concubine Wen, now is the period of the early dynasty, I really don't have time to take care of that woman, you don't have to care about her in the future, she is just a sinner in this Yin country, whether she lives or dies has nothing to do with you."
The coldness of the Son of Heaven, which rarely blooms, made Su Jin secretly happy, but it made Mo Xiru fall into a confused situation at the moment.
What's the matter, Your Majesty? Isn't Miss Zhilan the woman he loves? Why was His Majesty so unhappy and impatient after hearing about her injury? Could it be that the anger between the two has not disappeared to this day?
In addition to the fact that these two are still angry, Mo Xiru can't find a better reason.
Perhaps realizing that his master's emotions were too exposed, Yan Qi hurriedly stepped forward to exonerate.
"Concubine Wen, in fact, Your Majesty also cares about Miss Zhilan, and secretly inquired about her situation with his subordinates last night. However, Your Majesty, he has had some awkward trouble with Miss Zhilan recently, so he is also stubborn now. ”
As soon as these words fell, the Son of Heaven struck a sharp blow, but when he found that Yan Qi's words had slightly reduced Mo Xiru's suspicions, he retracted his eyes, and in the end he did not leave any words, but strode away from the troublesome situation full of the word 'Zhilan' here, and walked straight towards the early hall.
Seeing this, Yan Qi immediately saluted the person in front of him, and immediately followed the pace of the Son of Heaven and left.
At this point, the confused Mo Xiru was still covered with a veil of confusion, she did not doubt the relationship between Zhilan and the Son of Heaven, but she didn't know how the two got along, because last night Zhilan also showed anxious words and deeds when she heard each other's names. In fact, it is not surprising that Zhilan is like this, after all, Mo Xiru is not familiar with her temperament, but the Son of Heaven rarely shows such a look, these two people are really a little strange.
In the end, Yi Zhixing entered the court with a full of anger, and when the other party wanted to step over the doorrail of the main hall, the voices that made him disgusted came one after another, as if they were deliberately playing with his emotions.
"Your Majesty."
As soon as this sound came out, Yi Zhixing's heart overflowed with impatience, and when he looked back, it was the face that made him annoyed in every way.
"Sixth brother, why are you here?"
The Son of Heaven wanted to tear away the smile, but he found that it was difficult for him to smile at the person in front of him no matter what, especially after his ears were baptized by the word 'Zhilan', the Son of Heaven's face even seemed a little distorted.
"Your Majesty, today the sixth brother came as a general, and even more so as a courtier of the Yin State, and in the future, he will be loyal to Your Majesty, but how can Weichen feel that His Majesty does not seem to welcome Weichen?"
Yi Zhilin could easily smile, although his smile was redundant and provocative, but it was really much more natural than the ugly face of the Son of Heaven.
The next moment, the Son of Heaven smiled again, and the deliberate smile became more and more incompatible with his already miserable and cold face, which only made the viewer feel refreshed.
"How so? Putting aside for the time being, whether you will always be a courtier of my Yin Kingdom in the future, you are still my good sixth brother, how can I not welcome my own brother? ”
Yi Zhilin immediately snorted coldly and sneered at each other.
"Above the court, there is no need to mention brotherhood, in case someone who is interested listens to it, it is not very good for His Majesty's incorruptible statement. Besides, if Weichen enters the court today, he will be the eternal courtier of our Yin country, Your Majesty can rest assured that Weichen will not be hindered by external forces, and will definitely be assisted by His Majesty's side with peace of mind, and will never leave His Majesty. ”
As he spoke, Yi Zhixing didn't answer for a long time, and his vicious eyes, which could tear people's flesh and blood, were dimming the body of the person in front of him.
Needless to say, Yi Zhilin's words completely filled the Son of Heaven with anger, and to be precise, he should have felt some kind of invisible oppression. The person in front of him is like Zhilan, like a ghost entangled in his side, repeatedly trying to get rid of it but unable to get rid of it easily, one endangers the physical and mental health of the Son of Heaven, and the other intimidates the court position of the Son of Heaven.
Looking at the ugly face of the Son of Heaven, Yi Zhilin's heart bloomed, and the smiling posture urged the Son of Heaven to keep churning his anger.
"Sixth brother, okay, in the future, you will assist me on my side, according to your identity as the son of the Cai family, you will definitely be able to assist me in taking care of the country properly, I believe that you will not disappoint me, let alone be ashamed of the ancestors of the Cai family, I am afraid that the late General Cai is also deeply eager for you to honor your ancestors, right? Thinking about it this way, it is really inappropriate for me to call you the sixth brother now, after all, you are already a member of the Cai family, and I will call each other your monarchs and ministers in the future. ”
The 'Cai family' in Yi Zhixing's mouth undoubtedly made Yi Zhilin, who was still full of ridicule, extremely impatient, if it weren't for the fact that he continued to stay in the DPRK to fight against Yi Zhixing, he didn't have to change his ancestors at all, and becoming the Cai family was the result of having to do so, but now he was repeatedly reminded of the 'real murderer', which made him swallow this breath.
However, the Son of Heaven did not intend to give up ridicule, just as he hated Zhi Lan, he was even more arrogant towards Yi Zhilin, and he did not give him room for irony.
Cai Zhilin...... Haha, it's really a little rusty to call you like this, it seems that I will get used to it a lot in the future, or it's not bad to call you General Cai. ”
The Son of Heaven's face returned to its usual peace, replaced by the anger hidden in Yi Zhilin's face.
