Two guards stepped forward to detain Ji Xin. Ji Xin repelled the guards with one look, and roared angrily: "No need, I'll go by myself." ”

The two guards were also afraid of Ji Xin's might and did not dare to step forward.

Ji Xin took off the official hat on his head with both hands facing Zhongshan Wang Zi, threw it on the ground, and shouted: "Zhongshan Kingdom falls into your hands, and sooner or later it will die." I'm waiting for you in hell. ”

After Ji Xin finished speaking, he didn't care about the expression of Zhongshan Wangzi, and walked out of the hall with leisurely strides. Leju and the others saw him off.

Ji Xin walked out of the main hall, stretched out his hand and said, "Bring the sword." ”

The guard shouted: "Ji Zuo, the king's order is for us to kill you." ”

"Bring the sword." Ji Xin shouted: "The old man crisscrossed the field, and if he didn't die at the hands of the enemy, how could he die at the hands of the enemy." ”

Another guard admired Ji Xin as a person, pulled out the war knife in his waist, bowed down and handed it over, "Ji Zuo, it's easy to go all the way." ”

Ji Xin stood with his head held high and reprimanded: "The old man has always been accustomed to using a sword, how can he kill himself with a knife." For me, change a sharp blade. ”

The guard said in a trembling voice: "Ji Zuo envoy, both horizontal and vertical are dead, no matter what sharp blade you use, the result is the same." ”

"You know what." Ji Xin said: "The sword is the head of the weapon, and the princes and doctors respect it. The old man uses a sword so that he will not lose his identity. ”

Zhongshan Wang Zi heard the report from the guards, Ji Xin was unwilling to be beheaded, and was willing to kill himself with a sword.

This was his last wish. and the widow satisfied him. The king of Zhongshan said: "The widow gave him a sword." ”

Sima Xi hurriedly said: "The king's sword is the weapon of the town, how can it be stained with blood. ”

"Sima Xiang is right." Zhongshan Wang Zi understood that this was Sima Xi reminding him, so as not to be infamy, "Who of you is willing to borrow a sword." ”

Le Ju said: "The minister is willing to borrow it." ”

Sima Xi said softly: "Envoy Le, you have to personally send the long sword to you." ”

Leju understood that Sima Xi's move was to tell the world. Ji Zuo was killed by him. As a result, there can be no trace of the Le clan in the Zhongshan National Palace. Le Juxin said: "Sima Xi is good at power arts, and he has already planned everything. He not only wanted to kill Ji Xin, but also wanted to suppress the Le clan. If this person is here, it is not the blessing of Zhongshan Kingdom. Zhongshan is in danger. ”

Zhongshan Wang Zi also understood what Sima Xi meant, and asked: "Le You, can you be willing to go." ”

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Leju replied sonorously: "The minister is willing to go." ”

Le Ju picked up the long sword, walked out of the palace gate, and came to Ji Xin's side. The previously bright and spotless sky has long been covered by dark clouds. Leju dragged his heavy steps, and his tone was sad, "Ji Zuo, I'll send you." ”

Ji Xin replied with a smile: "The right envoy personally sent it off, and Ji Xin was grateful." ”

Le Ju glanced at the long sword in his hand and said with a wry smile: "This sharp blade has followed me to fight for many years, and it has also made great contributions to defending the territory of Zhongshan Kingdom. I didn't expect it to send Ji Zuo. ”

"Of all the people I admire the most in my life." Ji Xin said: "The first one is Lan Chujun Sima Chou. ”

"Prince Lan lives up to the heavy responsibility entrusted by the ancestors. He was brave and loyal all his life, and assisted the previous king. Zhongshan is the king of the country and fights for the world. First Yu Qi, then break Yan. Leju admired: "Lan Chujun's martial arts make us admire." Prince Lan died, and the first king was in pain. If the blue prince is here, Zhongshan Guoan can be like this. ”

"The second person I admire is the first king." Ji Xin said again: "The Lan Prince's ability to obtain cultural and martial arts is undoubtedly the first king's employment. The mind and generosity of the first king created the blue prince and created the road to the prosperity of Zhongshan. ”

Leju looked at each other quietly.

King Zhongshan is indeed a rare king. If it weren't for his broad-mindedness, discernment, and ability to use. Zhongshan is a barbarian country, how can it establish princes, follow the royal road, and fight for the world. How could Zhongshan Kingdom break through the Yan Kingdom of the State of Ten Thousand Vehicles and be rewarded by Zhou Tianzi. What a pity! After Zhongshan provoked the king, there was no more power. After the blue prince, there is no virtuous appearance.

"The third person I admire the most is you... Le right envoy. Ji Xin said respectfully: "I can die under your sword, and I will get what I want." ”

Le Ju replied: "Ji Zuo and I are not enemies. But..."

"Providence is like this, and the right envoy does not have to worry about it. Being able to die under the sword of the right envoy of Le is not a taint of the wisdom of his life. Ji Xin raised his hand and said, "Le right envoy, borrow a sword." ”

Le raised his hands to hold the long sword and sent it forward, "Ji Zuo, please use the sword." ”

"Thank you." Ji Xin respectfully took the long sword, quickly pulled out the long sword, and sighed: "Good sword." ”

Ji Xin waved his long sword a few times, his expression was sad, "There is Ji in the south, and there is music in the north." What a pity! There will be no season in this world. Le right, I don't know whether to say something or not. ”

Le Ju raised his hand and said, "Ji Zuo, please speak." ”

"This sword is indeed a good sword. It's a pity that it was used in the wrong place. After Ji Xin finished speaking, he took a few steps forward and put the long sword across his neck. At this time, a few drops of heavy rain fell on the body of the sword.

Ji Xin looked up at the bleak sky and asked, "God, you are reluctant to let me go." Are you here to see me off? ”

"The old man's life is worthy of the grace of the ancestors; Next, live up to the expectations of the people. I am dedicated to the country, bright and open, frank and open. Ji Xin shouted: "If you think I don't deserve to die, let it rain for three days in a row to prove my innocence." ”

Suddenly, a thunderclap slid across the sky, and heavy rain poured down. Ji Xinwei's body fell to the ground.

Le Ju couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears in the corner of his eyes, and said in his heart: "Ji Zuo, go all the way." ”

Ji Xin committed suicide, Leju entered the hall, and replied: "Your Majesty, Ji Zuo's envoy is dead." ”

"Begging for death, it's been so long." When Zhongshan Wang Zi learned about it, he didn't have the slightest heartache, "I read it for the sake of Ji Zuo's meritorious service to the country." The widow gave him a whole body. ”

Sima Xi said: "Your Majesty, Ji Xin is the minister who leads southern Xinjiang, and he has been a country all his life. We should bury him. ”

"Le Right Envoy, work hard to send Ji Zuo's body back to the mansion. Let his son Ji Jie die for him. Zhongshan Wang Zi rubbed the corners of his tired eyes, "The widow is tired, scatter the dynasty." ”

Leju braved the heavy rain and sent Ji Xin's body back to the Zuo Embassy's Mansion. When Ji Lai heard that his father died in front of the temple, and saw his father's corpse, he cried bitterly: "Father, the child will avenge you." ”

Le Ju hurriedly said: "Virtuous nephew, please mourn." ”

Ji Ji saw that Le Ju gave him a look and suppressed the anger in his heart, "Thank you Le Right for sending my father back and not humiliating my father's body." The kindness of the right envoy will never be forgotten by the virtuous nephew. ”

"Your father is a wise man, and the virtuous nephew will give him a good funeral." Leju patted each other's shoulders and said, "People can't be resurrected after death, and those who are alive must live well." ”

It rained heavily for five days in a row.

Leju pushed open the window, looked at the heavy rain, and felt for a long time.

His son Le Yu saw that since his father died in Ji Xin, he often looked up to the sky and sighed, and asked, "Father, what's wrong with you." ”

Leju still stared at the heavy rain outside, "Ji Zuo's death made my father see a lot and think a lot about my father." ”

Le Yu was relieved: "Although my father has no contact with Ji Zuo. But the child knows that his father also respects Ji Zuo's person. Ji Zuo's death is indeed sad. Father also asked for condolences. ”

"Ji Zuo's death is also a wake-up call for me!" Le Ju said: "Ji Zuo is dead, and Zhongshan Kingdom is going to be in chaos." ”

Le Yu asked, "Father, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Wealth and honor are not what I want." Leju turned around and said lightly: "Fame and fortune are dust. Life does not bring it, death does not take it away. Ji Zuo's envoy commanded southern Xinjiang and was majestic. After death, it is not a lonely grave. Ji Zuo is dedicated to the country and is brave and loyal, what did he get in exchange. ”

"Before Ji Zuo died, he was only five steps away from me. Every word he said, the Father remembered. Leju said sentimentally: "Although the long sword is good, it is used in the wrong place." ”

When Le Yu heard his father's intentions, he had the idea of retiring, and hurriedly said: "The king's move has made the soldiers feel cold. But father must not be discouraged! ”

"You can choose the best and use it; A sage can also choose a king to serve. Sun Gu, the former left envoy, is such a person. Le Ju asked, "I have been fighting for my father for many years, and I am tired. Tired for the Father. For the father, he decided to resign his right envoy and retire to the countryside. ”

"Now the movement of the court is unknown, the king is suspicious and cautious, and the king is like a tiger. The king got rid of Ji Zuo's envoy, and the next thing to deal with is us. It was wise for my father to choose to protect his life and withdraw from the dispute in the court. Le Yu said: "Child, I am willing to follow my father and return to the countryside." ”

Leju nodded and said, "It's time to stop fighting for my father's life." ”

Le Yu asked, "What will happen to the court situation in my father's Zhongshan Kingdom?" ”

Le Ju looked up to the sky and sighed: "There is no hope for Zhongshan Kingdom. Zhao is strong and has his eyes on Zhongshan. However, Zhongshan did not want to forge ahead, did not work together, but vigorously excluded dissidents for personal purposes. The day of the destruction of the Zhongshan Kingdom is probably not far off. ”

Le Yu exclaimed: "Father means that the Zhongshan Congress will die. ”

"In a few years, Zhongshan will die." Le Ju sighed: "Zhongshan Wang Zi is also a hero, but unfortunately he was born at the wrong time. His opponent was Zhao Jun. What a pity! The good foundation of Zhongshan Guoda was ruined in this way. ”

After the rain, Le Yu presented a letter of resignation.

When Zhongshan Wang Zi saw it, he was stunned for a while, and asked: "The widow has not treated Le's badly, why did Leju resign from the position of right envoy." ”

"The king has a deep affection for Le's and has never owed it." Le Yu replied: "My father is old and frail, and he can no longer serve the country. My father said, "The world belongs to the king." His old bones should make room for young people. My father wants to spend his old age in peace in the countryside. ”

Zhongshan Wang Zi said: "The widow is inseparable from the right envoy of Le. ”

"A few days ago, my father was drenched in a heavy rain, had a high fever that did not go away, and was lying sick on the bed. My father felt that he was old and infirm, and he was unable to serve the king. Le Yu took out the right envoy Linghu and sent it forward, "My father was afraid that he would miss the king's important affairs, so he thought twice and decided to resign." ”

"Leju is really sick, or I don't want to work for the widow." Zhongshan Wang Zi asked: "The widow didn't force the right envoy. ”

"It was not forced by the king, but the father of the family voluntarily resigned." Le Yu said: "Please ask the king to agree." ”

"Le's has made great contributions to our country, and the widow can't bear him to leave!" Zhongshan Wang Zi looked left and right, and said with great grief: "Since the Le Right envoy has made up his mind, the widow can't make it difficult for others." The widow answered. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Le Yu saluted and said, "The minister retires." ”

There is a season in the south, there is music in the north, and the world can be peaceful. This is what King Zhongshan said to Zhongshan Wang Zi before he died. The king of Zhongshan is full of spirits and wants to continue to carry forward the afterglow of the previous king and revitalize the Zhongshan Kingdom.

However, Zhao sent troops to Zhongshan twice. The successive defeats of Zhongshan made Zhongshan Wang Zi suspicious of Le's and Ji's. Zhongshan Wang Zi has long had an idea to remove the left and right envoys. He wanted to keep the military firmly in his hands.

At this moment, Zhongshan Wang Zi killed Ji Xin and resigned. Wang Zi of Zhongshan firmly controlled the military power, and he saw the pride of the ancestors who spurred their horses and fought against the princes. Zhongshan Wang Zi didn't expect that it was precisely because he broke the balance of the court that there was no season in the south and no music in the north. His world is dying step by step.
