In the gloomy hall, a stooping eunuch in a red robe was kneeling on the ground, whispering these things.

The hall is gloomy, and the floor of the hall that has been boasted countless times by scholars, Confucian scholars and royal literati is that "the warm sun rises in winter, and the frost falls in autumn in summer" is very cold. The eunuch's knees are actually bad, but when it is time to kneel, he kneels faster than anyone else, kneels upright, and kneels justifiably, so today is no exception. What's more, His Majesty the Emperor, who had caused the atmosphere in the hall to be almost stagnant, had no intention of letting him get up and speak as he did in the past.

"Xie Er still went in the end"

Emperor Jin muttered to himself, and at a distance from the distance, the eunuch immediately shut up, his forehead touched the ground, and he did not move at all.

"Hehe, in the end, he still cherishes his feathers, even if he knows that he will be truthful if he goes, but he still goes after all. Xie Er is still the same Xie Er, always looking forward and looking backwards, the Xie family is in his hands, and he can only keep it. However, for the time being, it is necessary to keep it. ”

The eunuch knew that he could not intervene at this time, so he continued to hold his breath.

Emperor Jin said for a while, and then waved his hand a little boringly, I don't know how the eunuch saw it, so he actually got up, then saluted, and quietly withdrew from the hall.

After the eunuch went out, only Emperor Jin was left in the main hall.

Walking back and forth in the main hall, Emperor Jin seemed quite leisurely, he didn't speak, there was no expression on his face, one hand was behind his back, and the other hand was slightly hanging in front of him, and his body was straight.

When he was young, he was just an inconspicuous prince, and his body was very straight. I just don't get much focus.

In fact, he should be the most potential among the brothers. However, Prince Wu Youshen and Prince Wen Youjia, they are too good, and Prince Qi was covered up.

When he was very young, he played with his brothers, and he knew that there were so many families in the Great Jin Kingdom, which was very powerful. This can be seen from the children of their family.

Xie Da Xie Er of the Xie family, one is good at fighting, the other is good at planning, and it is difficult to deal with, even the eldest brother and the second brother often suffer losses. There is a nerd and a sinister villain in the Sima family, the small one listens to the big ones, the big ones don't like to fight, and the little ones are restrained, but they don't worry too much. These people from the Li family, the Mo family, and the Zhang family, their grandparents are all generals, and they are extremely respectful, but they have never been allowed to fight and are ruthless. As for the rest of the Zhao family, they are dogs, either charging into battle with a bitter face or waving their flags excitedly.

When I was a child, I fought and played, and naturally I hid it from adults, even if I was the one who lost, I would abide by the agreement and not ask adults to judge. At that time, I thought I was doing something very hidden.

He has always watched the battle under the protection of the imperial brothers, and he doesn't feel much about it, but once he happened to hear a few little eunuchs say that the eldest and second imperial brothers were beaten by their father, and they knew that in fact, the adults were watching it. That time, he couldn't hold back and took the initiative to complain to his mother, who reprimanded him, and then his father looked at him very displeased. After that, he never saw those little eunuchs in the palace again.

Later, the number of times I went out of the palace to hang around was less. In the end, the eldest brother went to the border army, and the second brother went to Tai Academy to study with Xie Da Xie Er's father, and then later, he also went.

At that time, Xie Da was in his prime, where was he so crazy and domineering like now? He is the proud protégé of General Sima, the old and young of the Sima family are half a head lower than him, and occasionally the eldest brother is still in the court, and he also swims with his arms, and he can't sleep with his feet. And Xie Er is even more in his chest, with a strategy, and what is even more admirable is that he has never been defeated on the banks of the Huangjing River, the girls love and hate him, but the person who robbed the girl by him doesn't hate him for some reason.

His father, the emperor, once drank too much on the autumn hunt, and he was surprised that he had a son like Xie Ershao. Although the old emperor later said that Ran Wu was cautious and Jia, he still couldn't be happy. Because his father said three people, all of whom had a lot to do with him, but without him.

He felt that he could, could do as well as they did, no, better than them, and more worthy of that sentence.

So later he sat on the highest position in the Great Jin Kingdom, overlooking the mountains and rivers.

One day, he said to the ministers in the main hall that the second son of Wei Hou would recite the Analects for political purposes.

The ministers were surprised, Xie Ershao, who had been praised by the former emperor, stood in the crowd, bowed his head slightly, had no expression on his face, and was not surprised.

In fact, he didn't say a word at the time. He wanted to say, but I was polite.

Thinking about it now, he thankfully didn't say it at the time. Xie Shenwei and Xie Shence can be regarded as Xie Da and Xie Er back then, but where can his two twos, Yuan Li and Yuan Cheng, become like his eldest brother and second emperor brother? If you say it, it will only add to the laughing stock.

He wasn't convinced.

Then Xie Shenwei was strictly disciplined, and Xie Shence was sent to Huaiyang Dao.

Later, the young man inexplicably got involved in a scheme he devised and broke his game. Later, he thought that the little guy he praised back then was very interesting, so he reused it, and then brought him a lot of surprises. So in the end he wanted to kill the little guy.

It's not hard to see why.

In the eyes of Emperor Jin - I am good enough, or the eldest brother and the second emperor brother in the eyes of my father are good enough, so he dares to leave Xie Daxie, Erliang, Sima Da, Li Lao, Mo Du, Zhang Han, these people. Even if the eldest brother and the second emperor died of illness in the end, he could control it, so the Great Jin Dynasty was strong for twenty years.

But what about twenty years later? Or what will happen in 100 years? His two sons are indeed very good, gentle, courteous and thrifty, there is no shortage of one, Corporal Lixian is scheming and courageous, dares to fight in the same room and dares to go into battle to kill the enemy, and almost can't find fault. However, Emperor Jin felt that it was not good enough. I can't even find flaws in front of my pro-Lao Tzu, is that normal?

On the other hand, the Xie family, Emperor Jin had a deep uneasiness.

The wind rose outside the hall, Emperor Jin's sleeves fluttered gently, and on his head without a crown, the long hair tied up at random moved slightly, and Emperor Jin faced the palace door and took a deep breath.

"The emperor said that Lord Taifu was the smartest of them, whether it was a general, Wang Shangshu or Qian Bo'an, they were not as good as him. I thought so. And you have always been the smartest of us, I have never doubted that, for you proved it thirty or forty years ago. So your son is also the smartest? I couldn't agree any further. ”

"My father admits that he is inferior to your father. I also admit that I am not as good as you compared to the heart alone. Look at it, the two generations of emperors of father and son are actually inferior to the two courtiers of father and son, and the two generations of emperors have admitted it, which is unprecedented in ancient and modern times, right? Why, then, are you not satisfied, and you are so clever in giving birth to your son? ”

"The emperor was able to restrain the troika of the Great Jin Dynasty, and I am also a celestial man, able to rule the world, but what about my son? Can my son be like me, and add color to this magnificent mountain and river? ”

"To be honest, I don't have that confidence."

Emperor Jin's tone was calm, but he was faintly lost.

"So I decided, if I can't make progress, then keep it."

Emperor Jin's eyes were resolute. He didn't say the last sentence.

If it is kept, then the ministers of the tiger and wolf will not be able to stay.

Emperor Jin would not allow his relatively mediocre son to succeed to the throne surrounded by jackals.

Those masters sent out, the offerings in the palace, the old antiques that have not been out of the palace for decades, none of them have come back, and Emperor Jin already knows the result.

Isn't there no news the best news? It's just that by nature, it's definitely not good.

Emperor Jin went out of the palace gate, waved his hand to branch the eunuch who had been waiting early, did not wear the robe that the queen mother specially told him to wear, and stood in the wind, facing the northwest.

"I killed your woman, your child, and now you're going to die, what are you going to do, what can you do?"

The whole world is not the king's minister, the king wants the minister to die, how can the minister not die?

Emperor Jin opened his mouth, thinking of the person who might die first in the Jin capital, and his heart was a little empty.

After all, decades, you have come to this point, and I don't want to. But you've long been suspicious of what happened back then, right? So why did you endure it for so many years? Don't you have any ulterior plans?

- I don't believe it.

Emperor Jin thought so in his heart.

In Pingyang Fang, in a magnificent handsome mansion, the atmosphere is solemn and terrifying.

In a certain courtyard, in a certain building, a thin man was lying on the bed, his eyes were peaceful.

Serenity, the word should not have appeared in his eyes. In his eyes, there should be contempt, disdain, ridicule, harshness, anger, pride, a lot of joy and anger, but there should be no peace.

- Because that means getting old, or dying.

Xie Yi is not old, but he is dying.

With a wave of his hand, Xie Yi, who had returned to the light, let everyone except Xie Shang go out.

The eldest aunt and the unmarried daughters left with tears on their faces, but they didn't dare to cry. There were no tears on Sima's face, but there was sadness.

After everyone went out, Xie Sheng did it beside the bed, Xie Yi held his hand and said, "Second brother, in the end, he is still a coward, hehe"

Xie Xiang's throat moved slightly, and he couldn't speak.

"Don't try to justify me. I knew about it a long time ago, before you all knew about it, even before my father. It was he who killed Shen and Jia. My teacher, Lao Sima, also died indirectly at his hands. Of course, there is also the connivance and appeasement of my father. ”

"Hehe, you want to know how I know?"

"He grew up watching Shen and Jia, so how could Shen and Jia not understand him? Before the incident, they left clues. Hehe, this clue, I found it. Don't ask why I found it, because this clue is only found by me, and it is appropriate. It's not you, it's not Sima Yu, it's not Sima Bi. It can only be me. ”

"But in the end, I couldn't say it. Shen died of a violent illness, and Jia died of a remission. Oh, more than 20 years, I'm going to die, and I'm dying in a hospital bed, isn't it retribution? ”

"Big brother" Xie Sheng motioned for Xie Yi to say less.

"No, I'm going to say! I am a coward, but my children are not cowards. Wen Zhaofeng is your son, and he is also my son, they are very good, I am very pleased. ”

"Wen Zhao is in Jindu, when the time is right, let him go to the northwest. Without him in the northwest, he can't make big waves after all. ”

"Feng Zhi is good, I like Feng Zhi, even more than Wen Zhao. Second brother, do you know why? ”

Xie Sheng shook his head.

"Because he's most like you when you were younger."

Xie Sheng mourned.

"Let Fengzhi do it. He's not an awl to fit in his pocket, he's a dagger that should be shown. With you and Wen Zhao watching, I'm very relieved"

"Big Brother"

"I can't die on the battlefield, I didn't die at the border, but I died on the bed, I'm really unwilling."

"Big brother!"

With an angry roar, the people outside the building were shocked, and the next moment, there was a heart-rending cry.

Xie Shenwei stood in the courtyard, and the chopping horse in his hand was two feet deep into the big locust tree that one person was hugging.

After a long time, Xie Sheng went out with a white scarf on his head.

(PS: I finally wrote Xie Yi to death.)

Xie Yi in my heart, although he can't die on the battlefield, in the battle with the enemy, I want him to die on the bed.

The general is immortal and dies on the bed, when the horse leather shroud has fought for a lifetime, what happened to the relatives when he died?

After thinking about it for a long time, how Xie Yi should die, whether he should do something big, or say something very deep and true, finally forget it. Let him die a more peaceful, with a little regret, it would be good.

I like Xie Da. ）
