Chapter Eighty-Three: A Thief's Heart Never Dies
Listening to his sincere confession, Liu Nianru's heart suddenly moved, but this emotion was very weak, and she was suppressed all of a sudden.
"I used to be in the house, and I was not less bullied." Liu Nianru said.
Everything she said was the truth, and it was obviously the same experience, but she just remembered those not so good experiences in her heart, and she wanted to take revenge back.
General Liu was speechless, he stood quietly for a moment, and said to her: "I was sorry for you in the past, and I will try my best to make it up to you in the future." ”
Liu Nianru replied lightly: "In my future life, I will make my own decisions, just hope that my father will not hinder me, it is enough." ”
All the things General Liu has done so far have not been of much help to her, and even cooperated with the Donglin Army to imprison her here, which is actually an obstacle for her.
"Pity the hearts of the parents of the world, you will understand later. I know that you must complain to me, you don't want to come back, but I use this method to force you to come back. General Liu said.
In fact, he was clear in his heart, but he was forced to be helpless.
On the one hand, it is the way of kings and ministers, and on the other hand, it is the way of parents.
"Father, with all due respect, your loyalty to the emperor is already a bit foolish. Your Majesty, he is not a benevolent monarch. Liu Nianru couldn't help but say.
She has read so many history books, no matter how good the relationship between the monarch and the minister is, once there is no use value, it is not just discarded and used at will. Therefore, she doesn't believe in emperors, emperors throughout the ages are the same, in their eyes, they only have cold strategies, but they don't take ordinary people seriously.
Prosperity, the people suffer, death, also the people suffer.
"The emperor is not a benevolent monarch, no benevolent monarch will fight the world on horseback like the emperor. You see that today's Da'an rivers and mountains are all beaten down by him inch by inch. General Liu rarely told her this, and he couldn't help but reddened his eyes at this time: "He is not favored by the emperor, and he is not like Prince Gong's many guests." So every time there is a war, he always takes the lead in rushing in front of the battle, and escapes death again and again, so that he is now. ”
No wonder the emperor, as the son of peace, has so much murderous aura on his body. It was the instability of the regime of the previous dynasty that affected him.
Hearing Prince Gong's three words, she suddenly remembered Duan Bailan's life experience. So he asked: "It is said that Prince Gong is the best candidate to inherit the throne, if it were not for Prince Gong's accidental death, I am afraid that it would not be the turn of the current emperor to sit on this country." Father, do you know how Prince Gong died? ”
She wanted to ask something from General Liu's mouth, but General Liu waved his hand at her and said, "Those are old things, don't mention them again." In short, the monarch and the ministers must not be disobeyed. ”
Unexpectedly, General Liu, who has always had a big brain, would tabooly mention this matter.
Liu Nianru asked unwillingly: "So, father, if the emperor insists on killing me, will you listen to him, kill me, or will you resist for me?" ”
They regard imperial power as the sky, but Liu Nianru, as a modern person, would not think so.
"I know the emperor, he would never do this." General Liu changed his words and said: "You should also be sensible, don't be too close to Prince Duan, and don't do those things that make us embarrassed." ”
He has been changing the subject, but since he has already talked about this, there is no reason to stop there.
"The emperor wants to kill Duan Wangye, does his father know about this matter, or is his father an accomplice, it was you who recommended him to go to the north, so he can't shirk it. Father? She asked aggressively, without any cover-up.
If you want to know if someone is hiding something from you, don't beat around the bush and first overwhelm him and force him to admit it.
General Liu screamed, and didn't know how to answer for a while.
He thought about it, Duan Bailan's position in Liu Nianru's heart was extremely important, so he couldn't admit it in the first place. Originally, the relationship between father and daughter was not very good. Moreover, this is the emperor's business, how can it be discussed?
"How come, since the generation of King Lao Ding, the northern army should be guarding the northern border. It's just that in the past, Duan Wang Ye was still young before, so it was delayed at this time. It was not until King Ding was eighteen years old that he returned to charge of the Northern Army. He has also participated in some large and small wars before, and he should have accumulated a lot of experience, and now is the time to contribute to the country. General Liu replied.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, it was really difficult to lie, let alone say so many things at once.
Liu Nianru naturally half-believed his words, and she looked at General Liu and didn't look like someone who could lie.
"What you said is true?" Liu Nianru asked.
If the truth is really what General Liu said, even General Liu doesn't know that the emperor once sent someone to assassinate Duan Bailan, then the emperor's scheming is really terrifying, giving General Liu such grace, but still keeping him in the dark.
"Naturally, I'm your daddy, how else can I lie to you?" General Liu said.
Looking at his eager and sincere gaze, Liu Nianru had already believed what he said. So I don't bother with these anymore.
On this trip, I didn't ask anything. She chatted with General Liu about the late Nalan clan again, and she didn't say anything. In fact, Liu Nianru didn't feel anything, and her subconscious always told her that she and the dead Liu Nianru were two people.
But those memories appeared in her mind, and she was able to share the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of her original body, as if she had really experienced them all.
Sometimes, she really felt that her experience was so ridiculous, she crossed into the body of a stranger, and then inherited everything she had, and then started a new life as her.
It's like, it's as unreal as a dream.
It's the third day in a flash. Today is the day when Duan Bailan is about to leave Kyoto.
Liu Nianru got up early in the morning, and Aya Changwu arrived at the city gate early to see him off.
At this time, it was not yet dawn, and as soon as she left the mansion, she saw Xu Shiyuan standing at the door of the general's mansion, and the carriage had already been prepared.
"County Lord, General Liu knows that you are going to send Prince Duan on an expedition today, so he asked me to accompany you." Xu Shiyuan said.
Liu Nianru crossed him and looked at the mighty people behind him, those were all Donglin Army. The meaning is self-evident, it is afraid that Liu Nianru will leave.
"What? Are you still afraid that I won't be able to go with the prince? I'm just going to see him off. Liu Nianru said.
