Li Daozong read the sacrificial text aloud on the altar, and a pair of sharp old eyes had already seen Qin Mubai. His expression suddenly stretched a little more, and his voice became more hearty and generous. At this time, the sacrificial text was almost finished, and at the end, it was an edict attached by the emperor. said yes, I have to hear that Emperor Yang's real tomb came out, like seeing the old man. Thinking of the violent death of the former Sui and thinking of the importance of the people. It was decided that all the prefectures and counties under the rule of Xiangzhou would be lightly paid within two years.

Next, Li Daozong also read out in public some taxes ordered by the emperor to be reduced or exempted and the leniency to be implemented in Xiangzhou, which caused a burst of cheers from the people who were all onlookers!

It turned out that I just came to see the excitement, but I didn't expect there to be such benefits!

There is nothing more tempting to the people than these policies. In fact, it is not that Li Guang's grace has traveled through time and space to the heads of the people of Xiangzhou, but that Li Shimin has been in Xiangzhou for a period of time, and the accidents have been frequent and turbulent, and the people must have been affected a lot, and some policies to benefit the people and support the people must be promulgated to appease them. Previously, he conquered and suppressed water ghosts, and killed many people in a big fight, especially killed and captured many local gentry, and the rest of these gentry needed to be appeased; Now it is the advent of Emperor Yang's Mausoleum, and the people are recruited to open canals to hold ceremonies, etc., in fact, they are all a bit laborious and costly.

After listening to Li Daozong's reading of the lenient government, the scene was almost boiling, and the people were talking like a wave.

Ever since Li You saw Qin Mubai, his whole face had always been white, standing in place and trembling, bursts of cold sweat were pouring down his body. Qin Mubai stood a little to the right behind him, and saw with his own eyes that a layer of cold sweat was slowly flowing down the back of his neck. As soon as the wind blew, he shivered.

"Your Highness seems to have a cold, do you need to take a break for a while?" Qin Mubai said with a smile on his face.

Li You didn't look back, a pair of eyes stared at Li Chengqian, Li Daozong and others who were standing on the altar in front of him in despair, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and the throat slid up and down, without squeaking.

The killers who were hiding in the crowd suddenly saw Qin Mubai's appearance, and they were all frightened. They were all people in the know, and they knew that since Qin Mubai had escaped, the plan had already been revealed. So, those people took advantage of the boiling and noisy crowd to quietly withdraw. Fang was about to board the ship and escape, but he was all caught by the sergeants who were lying in ambush in the harbor at the mouth of the shore. When the sergeants got the secret order, they kept silent, and immediately took it and knocked them out, and stuffed them into the warship like sacks and imprisoned.

Li You glanced at the crowd a few times without giving up, and none of the people he sent were gone. One of his faces was suddenly bloodless, and his body trembled even more.

At this time, Li Daozong had already finished reading the sacrificial text and fell back into the train, and Li Chengqian came to the stage to carry out the sacrificial activities of offering incense and praying.

Li Ke was beside him, squeezed his eyes towards him and gestured to the back, and smiled happily. Li Daozong nodded with a smile and walked back towards Li You and Qin Mubai.

When Li You saw Li Daozong walk in, his heartbeat was like a drum accelerating, and his breathing became extremely short, looking like he was about to collapse and go crazy.

Qin Mubai stepped forward and stood side by side with him, and said softly, "Your Highness doesn't need to be nervous. ”

"What do you mean?" Li You turned his head in surprise and looked at him with wide eyes.

Qin Mubai smiled slightly, but didn't speak, Li Daozong had already walked in front of the two.

"King Qi seems to be very unwell, don't hold on. Mu Bai, I bother you to escort King Qi to the warship to rest first. Li Daozong said lightly.

"Yes." Qin Mubai hugged his fists and smiled relaxedly, "His Royal Highness King Qi, please!" ”

Li You was completely desperate, stunned for a long time, his eyes were quite resentful and sad and glanced at Li Daozong and Qin Mubai a few times, gritted his teeth fiercely, he turned around and walked towards the shore.

Li Daozong pouted, Qin Mubai nodded, and quickly followed.

Li You walked out of the scope of the ceremonial venue, and several hundred horsemen came forward, and they did not start to arrest him, but "followed" him left and right, like a nurse, and accompanied him to the big warship that Qin Mubai was riding on when he came.

Qin Mubai got on the boat, explained a few words to the sergeant on the ship, and walked into the cabin.

Li You stood by the window of the cabin, and didn't look back, just threw a faint sentence: "I have nothing to say, you go!" ”

Qin Mubai smiled slightly, and said in his heart: Actually, it should be 'shameless', more than 'nothing to say', right?

So he sat down on a couch in the cabin and summoned all the sergeants in the cabin. As soon as his heel was next to his buttocks, he was bitten by poisonous bees, and the pain made him grin, so he simply straightened his legs and sat on his side with his buttocks.

Li You has been standing by the window without moving, his face is like dead ashes, and his eyes are also gray, looking at the green water grass rippling with the water outside the cabin stupidly, and he is distracted.

"Your Highness, you have a cold, come and sit down and drink a cup of freshly brewed hot tea?" Qin Mubai said behind him.

"You better get me a cup of death-giving wine poison, it will be much easier." Li You still didn't look back, and said calmly.

"Why did Your Highness say this?" Qin Mubai poured the tea and said with a relaxed smile, "I seem to remember that His Highness didn't commit any unforgivable crimes?" ”

Li You trembled, suddenly turned around and glared at Qin Mubai: "What do you mean?" ”

"It's just telling the truth, and nothing else." Qin Mubai picked up a cup of tea and faced him, "Your Highness, please take a seat." ”

Li You swallowed a mouthful of saliva, shook his front robe, and sat down opposite Qin Mubai. But as soon as he saw Qin Mubai's strange sitting posture, he couldn't help but wrinkle his brows: "They actually dare to hurt you?" ”

"Actually"?

Hearing these two words, Qin Mubai's heart suddenly became a lot more complicated.

"Listening to Li You's tone, it is obvious that he has told him in advance that he is not allowed to harm me with Zan Junmo and the killer sisters."

Qin Mubai shook his head and smiled, "No." I just accidentally got stung by a poisonous bee. ”

"Oh......" Li You nodded, avoiding Qin Mubai's eyes, picked up the teacup and tasted it lightly.

"This tea, bitter."

"This is the only tribute good tea in Xiangzhou, called 'Qin Luo Xiang'. The biggest feature is that the lips are sweet and the aftertaste is long. Qin Mubai said.

"The heart is bitter, and whatever you eat and drink is bitter." Li You said lightly.

"Where is Yin Hongzhi?" Qin Mubai said suddenly.

Li You shuddered and shook his head.

"You've been taken advantage of, and you don't know how to turn back." Qin Mubai said, "Yin Hongzhi never forgot the old hatred, and finally led you to the wrong path. ”

"Father's hatred is not shared, why is he wrong?" Li You said.

"It's a puppet." Qin Mubai said without hesitation, "But you and Yin Hongzhi are not cloth puppets, how can you be for your own personal vendetta and fall into the hands of the Heaven and Earth Monarch?" The dynasty changes the world, and it is very common to kill people and die. For example, when His Majesty the Emperor's own brother was killed by someone from the Yin family, should you kill your uncle and avenge your uncle? Now you Yin Hongzhi instigated you to assassinate the prince in order to rebel, if you kill the prince, you will kill your brother and kill the king. How can this be morally justified? In the end, Yin Hongzhi was the only one hiding in a dark corner and snickering - what he wanted to see most was of course you and your father and brother turning against each other. No matter who lives or dies, his purpose has been achieved. ”

Li You's eyes instantly widened a lot: "Impossible! Uncle is not such a vicious person! ”

"Huh!" Qin Mubai smiled contemptuously, "There hasn't been an incident here, so he has slipped away without a trace." It can be seen that no matter whether you succeed or fail in the end, he doesn't care. What he wants to see is that you brothers kill each other, that's all. He doesn't care if the prince lives or dies, and he doesn't care about yours or yours. Otherwise, he should live and die with you, shouldn't he? ”

"You've searched it?" Li You asked.

"Dig three feet into the ground, and you can't see anyone." Qin Mubai said, "So I'm here to ask you where he is." ”

Li You furrowed his brows and bit his lip, and finally closed his eyes and shook his head: "I don't know either...... Don't ask me, I'm in a mess right now! ”

Qin Mubai didn't speak anymore, sat with him and drank tea, and sat for a long time.

Li You let out a long sigh leisurely, seemed to have an understanding, and said, "Forget it, I don't need you to find a substitute for me, not to mention that this person is still my uncle." I've always felt that he was closer than my father, more like my father. ”

Qin Mubai shook his head regretfully: "Until now, you still refuse to wake up?" ”

"I've never been lost, I don't need to wake up." Li You spoke softly, but firmly.

Qin Mubai didn't expect Li You to be so obsessed, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Is it true that the crown prince, the third brother and the king of Jiangxia also know about it?" Li You asked suddenly.

"King Jiangxia and King Wu must know, otherwise I wouldn't have been rescued and escaped." Qin Mubai said, "As for the crown prince...... I don't know. Judging by the situation, they did not inform the prince of this matter, but secretly strengthened their vigilance. In fact, if I don't come today, you will definitely not be able to get it. The purpose of my visit is not to arrest you, but to prevent you from doing so, so that the situation will not deteriorate. Obviously, King Jiangxia and King Wu also have such an intention. ”

Li You raised his eyebrows in surprise: "What do you want?" ”

"Of course it's for your own good, His Royal Highness King Qi." Qin Mubai spoke earnestly and said sincerely.

"Humph! ......" Li You suddenly snorted coldly, the corners of his mouth raised an arc of contempt, and said, "You are sympathizing with me and giving me charity, right?" ”

"Absolutely not." Qin Mubai's brows couldn't help but twist up.

"Since I have done it, I will dare to bear the consequences." Li You said categorically, "Stop talking nonsense, get the poisoned wine!" ”

Qin Mubai was indifferent and said lightly: "Death, it's actually very easy. But it takes wisdom and courage to survive. You think you'd be generous when you die like this, right? Actually, this is exactly the performance of cowards! You are running away because you feel shameless in the face of your parents, brothers and sisters. Gambling is really not a good habit, you may have developed such a habit of gambling money - success or failure, gambling here, do not give others a chance to survive, and do not leave a way back. ”

"Life is like gambling." Li You smiled coldly, "I was born with an evil seed, and I have no choice." If you don't fight again, will this life be like this? ”

"Obviously, your family treats you well, but you always have the illusion of self, thinking that you are a father and not a mother." Qin Mubai said, "Why is your heart so dissatisfied? Your mother has endured humiliation for you for 20 years, and this life has been buried for you. You can still say such a thing. Okay, even if you die now, how do you plan to make your mother and Ling'er live in the future? ”

"Mother, Ling'er ......"

Qin Mubai's words seemed to have pulled a certain string in Li You's heart, his expression suddenly froze for a moment, and then he looked at Qin Mubai as if asking for help: "You will definitely take care of them, won't you?" ”

"No matter how much I take care of them, I can't offset the blow and damage caused to them by your death." Qin Mubai said quietly, "Especially Concubine Yin De." She has already seen you once, and now she has escaped into the empty door, and she prays for you day and night. If you let her know of your death...... I can't imagine what it would be like. ”

"Don't say it anymore!!" Li You suddenly roared loudly!

Qin Mubai raised his eyelids and looked at him a few times, but did not speak again.

Li You, all of his shortcomings, but there is only one advantage that is widely known, that is, he is very filial to his mother.

He was young, he was impulsive, one could even say that he was confused, stupid, and good-for-nothing, but that could not erase the fact that he was filial to his mother.

"Tell me, where is Yin Hongzhi?" After a while, Qin Mubai asked again.

"I really don't know, don't ask me anymore!" Li You suddenly held his head in both hands, ripped off the golden cockroach attached to Liang Sanxian's crown on his head, and threw it out of the window and threw it into the water. Then, holding his head in pain, he threw himself on the table and buried his head in his arms.

Qin Mubai shook his head and sighed a few times secretly, and didn't say anything more to him.

At this time, the ceremony of Emperor Yang's Mausoleum is in full swing, and the most famous dance music is staged on the wide altar - "King Qin's Breaking Array Music" to help the atmosphere!

Datang's music is divided into big songs and small songs. The big song is magnificent, and the small song is light and lively. "Qin King Breaking Array Music" is the most typical big song in the Tang Dynasty music, also known as "Seven Virtues" after being included in the palace music, the music is composed by Li Shimin, and the lyrics are filled in by Lu Cai, Li Jing, Yu Shinan, Chu Liang, Wei Zheng and other civil and military dechens. The music is already magnificent, and the impassioned military drums are played, which is mixed with the wind of Western Regions music from Qiuzi and other places, and the sound vibrates hundreds of miles of turbulent valleys!

One hundred and twenty sergeants danced in armor and halberds, and sang in unison:

"The head of the state will be resigned, and the prime minister will beg the traitors. The salty song "Breaking the Array Music", appreciating the Taiping people. ”

"The four seas are the emperor's wind, and the water is clear for thousands of years; Rong Yi is not even more weary, and it will be successful today. ”

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, when the country was conquered in the south and the north, "King Qin's Breaking Array Music" was the military song of the Tang Dynasty, and the music was passionate and exciting. The people present listened to the song and dance, and they couldn't help but be driven by this dance, and their emotions were high. The most engaged is Li Daozong, who involuntarily sang along. Hearing this familiar military song, he seemed to have returned to the turbulent era at the beginning, wearing armor and crisscrossing the battlefield, and the men swaying the sky with blood, how fast!

Seeing that everyone is so intoxicated and obsessed, there is only one person who is like an outsider, and that is Li Ke.

He was originally sitting next to Li Daozong to enjoy the music, but seeing that Li Daozong was already intoxicated, he left the table under the pretense of changing clothes, ran to the bank of the river, and got on Qin Mubai's boat.

At this moment, Li You's emotions were extremely excited, his hands were tearing his hair fiercely, and a mess fell on the ground. At this time, someone came knocking on the door, and a sergeant reported: "General, His Royal Highness King Wu has arrived." ”

Li You was stunned, and suddenly yelled: "Don't let him in!" ”

Qin Mubai nodded: "Then I'll go out, you have a good life and rest here, there is no need to be so irritable." There is always a way to deal with anything. ”

So out of the cabin, Li Ke stood on the bow of the deck, glanced back at Qin Mubai, and smiled happily: "You're fine, great!" ”

"What can I do? Isn't the saying the Tao a thousand years of evil? Qin Mubai also smiled and walked over to him and stood still.

"I understand the temperament of my fifth brother." Li Ke said, "Stubborn, arrogant, and not easy to accommodate. As long as it is something he has identified, whether it is right or wrong, he will not change. So, you certainly can't convince him of anything. ”

"You guessed it." Qin Mubai sighed, "I really didn't know him before. Unexpectedly, he was such a stubborn person. ”

"Stubborn, rotten wood is difficult to carve!" Li Ke scolded him with some hatred, and his brows furrowed deeply.

Qin Mubai didn't answer, and after a while, he said, "Actually, his nature is not bad. It's just that he is young and ignorant, and he has been instigated and misled. ”

"I know that. Otherwise, why bother so much and directly hand him over to Chang'an for disposal, isn't it a hundred? Li Ke sighed and said with feeling, "In fact, among the many royal brothers, only he and I have something similar to brotherhood. Maybe it's out of 'sympathy', he and I were born with shadows. He is not bad by nature, he is typically hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, and he is a very filial person. Let me try, maybe, I can move him? ”

"Didn't you hear what he was yelling just now?" Qin Mubai said.

"That's why I want to go in because I heard it." Li Ke smiled confidently, "He didn't dare to see me, just because he was afraid of my words." I know him better than you do, so I know what to say to him. ”

Qin Mubai smiled: "Then you go!" ”

Li Ke nodded and was about to go to the cabin, but suddenly stopped again and said, "By the way, only you, me, and King Jiangxia know about this matter now." Other insiders such as Su Lianqing and Counselor Sergeant, you have to take a little effort to seal it carefully. Prevention is better than cure, and it should not be publicized afterwards. ”

"Understood." Qin Mubai smiled and nodded.

Li Ke smiled with relief, and patted Qin Mubai's arm vigorously: "No matter what, if you can come back safe and sound, it will be the biggest victory." Everything else is trivial. ”

"I seem to be a little moved, haha!" Qin Mubai suddenly laughed, "Okay, go quickly, don't talk like a girl!" ”

"You are unreasonable!" Li Ke glared at Qin Mubai in annoyance and walked towards the cabin.
