"Father. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info" Liu Yan knelt in front of the emperor's bed, called him again and again, and seeing that he never responded, he couldn't help but raise his sleeves to wipe his tears.

"Crying for what?"

Suddenly hearing the person in front of him speak, Liu Yan was startled, and hurriedly raised his eyes to look at him, only to see that the emperor smiled at him reluctantly, and was about to get up and sit up.

Liu Yan helped him get up, took the pillow and cushioned it behind his back, and then spoke: "Erchen heard Gonggong Chen say that his father slept for several days, but Erchen was too busy......

"I understand, it's not easy for you to be alone, and I can't help you except sleep here." The emperor patted Liu Yan's hand as he spoke, and suddenly asked again, "What day is today?" ”

"It's June 27." Liu Yan replied honestly.

The emperor nodded, his cloudy old eyes flashed and asked, "Is there any movement in the Northern Wei Dynasty?" ”

"Not yet, it's just that Zhu Yun has already reversed, and at this time there has been a civil war in Chenzhou." Liu Yan paused as he spoke, lowered his head and said, "Father, now is the time when there is a shortage of generals in the court, so the ministers want to ......"

"You want to go out in person?" The emperor recognized what he was thinking at a glance, and seeing him nodding, the emperor smiled bitterly and then shook his head and said, "You stupid boy, it seems that you still have to be helped by your father." ”

Liu Yan looked at the person in front of him puzzled, couldn't figure out the meaning of his smile, and didn't know how to answer, so he had to nod heavily.

If Liu Yan knew at that time that the emperor had taken the medicine that damaged the dragon's body in order to help him, and his lifespan was only three months, then he would definitely not agree, no matter what.

However, as soon as the news that the emperor had recovered from a serious illness and returned to the throne spread, all the people were excited and the ministers rejoiced. It can also be seen from this that the emperor's success in governing the Southern Song Dynasty over the years has won the hearts of the people and his subjects.

Under Liu Zhengsheng's advice, the emperor returned the military power of the Imperial Forest Army to Yang Yin, and Liu Yu's power in the court was suddenly hollowed out. At the same time, he learned the news that his power in the rivers and lakes had been recaptured by Wang Quanming.

Time. Internal and external enemies disrupted all his steps, Liu Yu locked himself in his room, and kept thinking about who betrayed him, but he couldn't think of it.

"You're looking for me?"

Liu Yu raised his eyes a little tired to look at the person in front of him. motioned for him to sit down and said, "Yes, I have something to ask you about you." ”

Chen Zhiming sat down in response, glanced at the table full of delicacies, and said with a wry smile: "Could this be a Hongmen banquet?" You're not trying to poison me, are you? ”

"Why should I poison you? Could it be that you have a ghost in your heart? Hahaha......" Liu Yu joked with a smile, but anyone could hear it. The joke is really uninteresting.

Chen Zhiming picked up the wine glass and poured himself a glass of wine, raised it to Liu Yu and said, "Who doesn't have a ghost in their heart?" Don't you? ”

"Of course not, because I'm a ghost." Liu Yu pretended to be serious, and suddenly amused Chen Zhiming, Chen Zhiming laughed, but felt that the corners of his eyes were a little wet.

"Okay, you're a ghost, do it first for respect." Chen Zhiming toasted him as he spoke, raised his head and drank it, and only he could taste the bitterness in it.

Liu Yu didn't mean to raise a glass. Instead, he looked at Chen Zhiming tightly and said, "Why did you betray me?" ”

The smile on Chen Zhiming's face stopped suddenly, he poured another glass of wine for himself, but heard Liu Yu ask: "Since you know that I am suspicious of you, then why do you still come?" Why drink the wine in this cup? You know it's not going to be so comfortable. ”

Chen Zhiming waited for the wine in the cup to swallow before he spoke unhurriedly: "Since you asked me, then I also want to ask you, why did you kill my father?" ”

"When did you know that?" Liu Yu sighed silently, leaned back and asked.

"Boya drum and piano, aiming at the mountains. Good, like Mount Tai, aiming at flowing water. Wonderful. The ocean is like a river......" Chen Zhiming didn't mean to answer, and sang the tune while gesturing to himself.

Liu Yu's heart shook suddenly, his hands couldn't help but clench, and his brows were tightly wrinkled. finally couldn't help but yell: "Enough, stop singing, I betrayed our friendship first, and I am not qualified to question you!" ”

"But! My country, my dynasty, I can't put all this aside, this is what I have decided since I was born. I can't afford to lose. Do you know, I can't afford to lose, I Liu Yu can't afford to lose. ”

Chen Zhiming only cared about drinking glass after glass, and finally threw the wine glass against the wall, got up and asked in a fragmented voice: "Is this country so important to you?" Does it matter how many people die? When you step on the corpse of the person next to you and walk onto the dragon chair, is there really no anxiety in your heart? You weren't like this before, and all the ambitions in your heart were blinded by these powers! You're no longer human, you're a ghost, a demon who torments everyone! ”

Liu Yu was almost desperate for his accusation, and he was silent for a long time and suddenly asked, "You colluded with Donggong to calculate me?" You said all those things? Those ministers were also rebelled by you? ”

"Yes."

"Who told you that I killed your father?" Liu Yu's eyes flashed, staring at Chen Zhiming fiercely, unwilling to let go of any subtle expression on his face.

Chen Zhiming looked at him mockingly and said, "It's Jing Yan, you see that there is no one around you to support you anymore, you are the only one who is alone." ”

Hearing the word Jing Yan, Liu Yu only felt that the blood all over his body rushed to his brain all of a sudden, angry? Disappointed? Can't describe his mood, at that moment, he felt that the world had turned its back on him, but when he raised his eyes to look at Chen Zhiming, he regained his calm.

Because he clearly captured the smugness in Chen Zhiming's eyes and the joy after revenge, he suddenly understood that it was just Chen Zhiming's discordant plan.

"I can't keep you." Liu Yu suddenly spoke.

Chen Zhiming nodded, pretending to be indifferent and said: "I knew that you wouldn't keep me, although I died, it was better than you living alone, everyone around you turned their backs on you, don't you feel that you live a pitiful life?" Wine is poisonous, I knew it early on because I knew you too well. ”

After saying this, he glanced at Liu Yu contemptuously, then got up and walked out, but he stumbled and almost fell to the ground, but he still barely held on to the wall and went out.

After going down the stairs and leaving the tavern, Chen Zhiming fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood, and the groom on the side hurriedly helped him into the carriage when he saw this. When Liu Yu saw the carriage moving, he took his eyes back.

In the carriage, Chen Zhiming raised his sleeves to wipe the blood from the corners of his mouth, and smiled in a low voice to the people on the side: "Your Highness is still thoughtful, let me take the antidote in advance, and spit out some chicken blood when I go out, I should be able to hide from Liu Yu." ”

"Hmm...... I have wronged you and Dr. Xu to go outside the city for a while, and I will take care of everything outside the city. At that time, as long as you declare that you are dead, as soon as Liu Yu's forces are removed, I will reinstate your officials. Liu Yan said.

Xu Zhicai and Chen Zhiming nodded again and again: "We all listen to the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

The carriage stopped at the bend, and the men carefully dismounted the carriage, and then entered the house on the side, and walked from the front door to the back door, and everyone found that the carriage had been prepared.

Liu Yan put them in the carriage and watched them leave with his own eyes, so he turned over his horse and ran towards the East Palace with confidence.

Liu Zhengsheng, who was waiting outside the East Palace, was a little anxious, pacing back and forth, and when he saw Liu Yan rushing here, the tension in his heart was even more indescribable.

"How?"

Liu Yan handed the reins to the guards on the side, and said to Liu Zhengsheng: "Go in and say it, lest I see Shen Xia and say it again." ”

"Big brother, what are you afraid of? I have known Liu Yu for so many years, and I have already figured out his temperament. The two of them walked to the nave, and before they entered the hall, they heard a fierce argument from inside, and they couldn't help but stop and stand.

"I told you, Liu Yu is too insidious, there is nothing he can't do, you are undoubtedly looking for death by doing this." Chu Shenxia said with a thick neck, I don't know how many times he said this, even if he heard it, he felt annoyed.

Jing Yan's afterglow flashed, and when he saw the corner of Liu Yan's clothes, he hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Don't say it, Your Highness is here." ”

Liu Yan and Liu Zhengsheng walked away from the hall with some embarrassment, and explained: "We didn't mean to eavesdrop on you, we happened to pass by, passing by ......"

"Your Highness thinks too much, this is not a secret, and it is not worth eavesdropping." Chu Shenxia said.

Liu Yan saw that Chu Shenxia's face was a little unpleasant, and turned to Jing Yan and said, "No matter what, if the method you want is too dangerous and your life is at stake, then let's change the method." We are not Liu Yu, and we have to sacrifice the people around us for the throne. ”

"Your Highness, be sober, even if you are unwilling to kill and bloodthirsty for the bottom line in your heart, it is inevitable to step on the corpses of the people around you. Only when this process is too cruel will His Highness understand what is hard-won and how many lives a country has to fight to defend in the future. Seeing that Liu Yan also said this, Jing Yan couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and hurriedly chased after two steps.

Liu Yan was stunned, but he looked at Chu Shenxia and said: "Shen Xia regards you as his own brother, if something happens to you, how can Shen Xia be safe in his heart?" What peace is in my heart? I know that there are some things that have to be done, and I won't be as pedantic as I used to be, but there's not just one way, isn't there? ”

"But it's the best way to do it." Jing Min insisted on saying, seeing that Chu Shenxia was about to oppose again, he hurriedly preemptively said, "You all calm down and think about it, what if I die?" I don't have a few days to live, that's true, and you can't choose to run away from it. I'm going to die after all, why can't I be sacrificed to get rid of Liu Yu alone? ”

The three of them fell into a long silence, and no one had the intention of speaking, but in the end, it was Chu Shenxia who spoke: "So what? Even if you're going to die tomorrow, I won't let you take risks today, I have a pimple in my heart, you won't not understand. Jing Yan, do you know how much I blamed myself when Chu Shenyu died? I will never allow this to happen a second time, I'll go for you. ”

"What?!" Several people said in unison, but Chu Shenxia only left them with a stubborn back.
