For twenty years before the accident, Liu Anle had thought that he could mock everyone in the world—even if he had seen the heavens, which would be the object of his mockery.

It wasn't until today that he realized that he was the doll who had been mocked by God.

Tong Sheng threw himself into his arms...... Or "hanging" is more appropriate.

Most people have probably seen what it is like to hang themselves.

Among the punishments of various dynasties, asking for hanging is also a more common one, generally if you say "leave the whole corpse", it is either poison or hanging.

When hanging, the prisoner is tied with his hands behind his back, standing on the trap door with a black cloth covering his head, and then tying a noose around his neck. When the executioner opened the trap door, the prisoner's feet hung in the air, as if he was treading water, and he stopped moving after struggling for a few moments. At this time, after the death of the prisoner, most of them are in the form of "asking the sky", the most obvious is that the head is looking up to the sky, as if unwilling, as if he will be full of grievances to the heavens.

And Liu Anle has also heard some good relationship with the work said, it is actually because the cervical vertebrae are broken in the opposite direction by the downward force, if the strength is appropriate, the prisoner will die smoothly, in case the force is greater, the head will not be unusual.

At this time, the strength can be described as not too big or small, just right.

Tong Sheng shouted "Father-in-law help" while rushing over, and when Liu Anle came back from his stunned, the Tong Sheng in his arms was hanging with tears and snot on his face, looking up and asking the sky, with a helpless and pitiful appearance, he also learned to look like a god of grievances and resentment.

"Father-in-law save me!" Tong Sheng not only opened his mouth at all, but he would swallow the cyan long worm in his nose that seemed to be full of tilting into his abdomen, Liu Anle looked at the long worm like a dragon and disappeared, and then Tong Sheng's throat rolled, "coo" down to the stomach......

Tong Sheng didn't understand what kind of affection the tangled eyebrows and trembling lips on Liu Anle's face were, since he could remember, those with tangled eyebrows must have knots in their chests and ask for him, and those with trembling lips will repay him with gratitude, or this person who is destined to become his father-in-law is worried that his ugly daughter can't get married, and he can call him a father-in-law, and it may not be clear after being depressed!

So he persevered, and said again—

"Father-in-law save me, ......"

Liu Anle had murderous thoughts again in his heart.

It is okay for a person to abuse himself no matter how badly he is, but if he is abused again and again by others, no matter how good-tempered a person is, he will be tortured to the point of losing his mind.

Judging from his experience, in just one day, he was abused by the woman he loved, the elders he respected, the sibling-like friends, the blind man he didn't know, the ancestors he had never met, and the eunuch who had not taken care of him.

At this moment, he only felt that a boulder in his chest weighed him down, and the hot air from the pot of tumbling porridge in his head surged in all directions, hitting his body to the left and right.

Just when he thought that he was about to vomit blood and die, he suddenly heard the word "immortality", and he only felt a light in his arms and a lot more comfortable.

"Immortality, ......"

followed the joyful shout, but saw that Tong Sheng had run back more than 100 feet away, lying next to an old man lying flat, with his hands up and down, as if in a panic.

When I got closer, I saw this boy patting the old man's cheek, listening to the old man's chest, blowing between the old man's lips, and he was anxious. And the old man, seeing that he has more air in and less air out, is afraid that he will not be able to live.

Ren Liu Anle had the idea of killing Tong Sheng before, but when he saw his body die, he thought of his relatives gone, and he couldn't help but feel sad. He had the heart to comfort him, but he didn't know him and didn't know what to say, so he had to walk a few more steps to the back of the child and pat it lightly.

"Changsheng, don't die yet......"

Tong Sheng didn't seem to be aware, or he didn't understand Liu Anle's kindness, and his mouth was still anxious.

"Where did you hide the old ones' belongings? Where are our silver tickets? It's okay for you to sue me first and then die! ”

"Poof—"

The boulder that had been stuck in his heart finally rolled away, and Liu Anle had never felt so comfortable. He felt that time was passing quickly, the sky seemed to be getting dark all of a sudden, he felt that the sky and the earth were standing together, and he thought that he must be lying on some huge bed, although he had a pain in his back, and although there was no pillow, it was good to be able to roll a few times smoothly......

He finally saw clearly that the boy who was lying next to the old man was not at a loss.

"Here, it is more appropriate to use 'picking' for the word 'pat'......"

When the mind was so, he fell unconscious.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

At night, the capital city is brightly lit.

This ancient city, which has been on the mainland for thousands of years, is not only the largest city in the world, but also the political and economic center of the Great Shu Kingdom.

The name is "Dingdu", one takes the meaning of "Dingguo is here", and the other takes the meaning of "the country is forever".

Of course, this is just a kind of hope that all human beings have, and there have been some heroes in history, calling themselves "the first emperor", hoping that when the throne is passed on to their children and grandchildren after their death, their successors will be called the second emperor, the third emperor, and even all generations, "endlessly", but after all, it is just a joke in the eyes of the world.

Dingdu has never been stable.

To this day, it has no intention of "changing its temperament", and wants to continue to toss, and wants to watch the chaos and horror in the city - especially in this quiet night.

Song Yuanxie, the emperor of Shu, inherited the unification at the age of fifteen, and another fifteen years have passed.

He is no longer the strong-blooded, rebellious and lonely boy he was at that time, and he will no longer run into the mountains to learn the prudent words that only courtiers can learn for a momentary pleasure.

He has become mature and steady, and even in the hearts of his courtiers, their master is beginning to become more and more uncontrolled by the Confucian scholars, and more and more parting ways with the Confucian scholars.

In the eyes of one person, he watched the Emperor Xià grow up becoming more independent, more ambitious, and more ambitious.

But the man was not happy.

This person is Zhuang Boyang, the prime minister of the dynasty, and Zhuang Boyang, who is "not my race, his heart must be different" in the eyes of Confucian scholars.

It is Zhuang Boyang, a disciple of Mr. Chou.

Zhuang Boyang came out of the mountain at the age of fifty-three and followed Emperor Shu for 15 years, on the surface he and Emperor Shu were loyal ministers and emperors, but in private they were friends who forgot their years and were friends - there was still a little friendship between them.

However, this still made him unhappy.

The reason why he couldn't be happy was that it was on the table in front of the emperor at the moment.

It was a thin piece of note, and there were only a few numbers written on it.

Sure enough, it's destiny!

With a secret sigh, Zhuang Boyang bowed and knelt down.

"Your Majesty, now the plan is to quickly summon Tian Gong back to the dynasty to escort him, and the siege of Xizhou can be urgent or slow!"

There was no third person in the huge palace, and Zhuang Boyang's words echoed in the hall for a long time, waiting for the person on the other side to respond.

But the man was only slightly stunned, still staring at the piece of paper, as if he didn't care about Zhuang Boyang's words.

"Your Majesty'......"

"You say, this can't be your rival's junior brother deliberately manipulating you, right?"

Zhuang Boyang didn't spit out the second word, and Emperor Shu suddenly smiled and waved the page with one hand and asked.

Hearing this, Zhuang Boyang felt even more uncomfortable. Sometimes fate is so cruel, except for facing it, watching it press forward step by step, choosing a decent way to meet, escaping and fearing are useless.

"Although my brother and I have differences on the Tao, this matter will not be a joke......

The implication is that you will die of this delusional heart.

"Huh...... Hehe! Song Yuanxie also felt that he must be afraid of being confused, and he would have such naïve thoughts. He laughed dryly twice, and called Zhuang Boyang and said: "Your plan from above, in my opinion, I am only afraid of falling into the lower stream." ”

didn't listen to Zhuang Boyang's explanation, he waved his hand and said: "You and I know very well that he didn't come to assassinate me because I wanted to break him in Xizhou." I probably still know a little bit of what he thinks. ”

Standing up, he first stared at the map painted with the word "Xizhou" behind him, then paced a few steps along the case, and continued: "For a peerless swordsman like him, it is far more glorious to die under the sword than to die on the couch, not to mention that what he wants to take under the sword is still my head!" ”

"If you know this, why ......?"

"You often say that the way of heaven is clear and indisobedient, when did you become like your junior brother and must fight for a 'man-made thing'?" After laughing at the old man, he sat down again.

"The sky is going to die, I just wait! The only thing I can't worry about is this ......"

The piece of paper returned to his hand, Zhuang Boyang raised his head, and read it word by word following Emperor Shu's fingers:

Standing on the ground to become a Buddha is honorable.

"Li" and "earth" are homophonies, one refers to Huang Fu, and the other refers to Shu Emperor Song Yuanxie; "Becoming a Buddha" is the positive fruit of the Buddhist family, one of these two people is Zhuang Boyang's teacher, and the other is half of his fellow disciples, no matter what, they can only preach, and the person who preaches the Tao wants to "become a Buddha", then it is really dead.

The second half of the sentence has two meanings in it. First, the junior brother asked the senior brother: Isn't it an honor to witness the fight between the two most powerful people in the world? The other meaning is relatively obscure, this is Mr. Chou's own student asking Emperor Shu: After you die, can anyone be as glorious as you?

- Do you have any children?

This is exactly the reason why Song Yuanxie can't rest assured.

Emperor Shu still has no children - not a matter of ability, he gave birth to more daughters than any previous emperor in this dynasty, but he alone could not give birth to a son!

In fact, not only his generation, in the past two hundred years, the royal family of Shu has rarely killed each other and fought in the same room because of the coup d'état of seizing power. Why? Because for nearly two hundred years, this royal family has been passed down from generation to generation!

Even in ordinary people's homes, this is a major matter related to the survival of the family, let alone in the emperor's family, which is no trivial matter in the emperor's family.

If there is no one who can inherit the great unification of a country, the country will also perish, and the world will be in chaos.

Song Yuanxie originally felt that he was still young, and he had time, and it had been passed down alone for two hundred years, so there was no reason to be extinct in his own generation.

However, there is no time.

If someone kills him, he will laugh at that man for going crazy. But the emperor wanted to kill him, and he had no way to hide, and there was no way to avoid him.

"You come and give me an idea." Song Yuanxie raised his eyebrows and asked Zhuang Boyang.

The monarch and ministers who have been together for nearly 20 years, Zhuang Boyang has a clear understanding of the meaning of every action of Emperor Shu. The eyebrows were raised, seemingly frivolous, but in fact, they were already in the chest, waiting for the courtiers to respond.

"The minister doesn't dare to speculate......" The attitude that should have has melted into his bones, this sentence is just a natural reaction, just like people who have done bad things, and when asked, they will always be impatient to deny it first.

"If you let the minister guess, the minister thinks that Song Changgong, the king of Lanling, and Song Jixu, the king of Guangling, are really difficult to distinguish......"

"......Shh

With a short sigh, Song Yuanxie looked at the old courtiers who got along with him day and night with great interest, Zhuang Boyang felt a void in his heart and lowered his head.

"Don't you be scared and confused, I don't know that there are now two veins left outside the old Song family's palace, King Lanling and King Guangling? Net! ”

Although it was scolding, there was no blame in the tone.

"You're right, it's really hard to choose...... To put it bigger, Changgong is in the north, Ji Xu is in the south, Zhanzhou is fierce, Junzhou is rich, and the strength is about the same, and the other party is not happy to give it to anyone; To put it mildly, Chang Gong is known for his bravery, and his relationship with the army is also harmonious, and Ji Xu is also very prestigious among the people. Besides, both of them already have children......"

"Your Majesty ...... Shengcha" Zhuang Boyang also knew that he was playing ball, but the Mandate of Heaven was the Mandate of Heaven, even if he knew how the Emperor of Shu would choose, and knew that the future of the Shu Kingdom would go on to become strong or decaying, he couldn't say.

"You can't reveal it, can you?" Emperor Shu sighed in disappointment, "Well, life in the world is interesting precisely because there are countless unknowns, and if you know that everything has been arranged, it will be boring." ”

"Your Majesty Xie Xià is considerate of ......" and knelt down.

"Let's make a decision!" Without looking at the few numbers, Song Yuanxie turned to the arm-length map behind him. "Song Changgong, the king of Lanling, and Song Jixu, the king of Guangling, immediately pulled out Xizhou, and took it for a period of March. Chin this. ”

"Hooray, hooray, hooray!"

Zhuang Boyang took the errand and slowly retreated to the front of the hall.

"Zhuang Qing's family...... You won't die, will you? At the end, Emperor Shu asked faintly.

"Your Majesty forgives your sins......" Zhuang Boyang stopped and took a deep look. Just now, the junior brother has already proved that the avenue will leave first, and it is difficult to help but feel sorry for Mr. Lai's first encounter, and there will be few people around him in the future...... After this incident, the minister went back to Yanzhou. ”

"Oh...... So good, so good! ”

deserved a few words, and after a while, Zhuang Boyang saw that there was no response, confessed, and hurriedly retreated.
