But what's the use of saying that? The court has supported us for so many years, and we just need to be loyal to our duties. Besides, didn't you just say it all? Today is the reign of the Holy Son of Heaven, and the ministers in charge of the court are upright, and there is always a time to reopen the great tomorrow. Tell me about this kind of frustration, but don't talk to anyone else......"

"Okay, uncle, I understand......" After Liu Songping's persuasion, Qi Wang's mood finally improved a little.

He picked up the flask and tried to pour himself another drink, only to find that there was nothing left in the flask, so he threw the flask aside in frustration.

"Is the wine gone? It's good to be ...... like this" Liu Songping was already a little drunk and confused, but his spirit seemed to be much better, "Brother Wang, we will leave in a few days, you should prepare first these days, it seems that this trip is very long, and it will take a long time." Although there will be government officials along the way, we still have to be careful not to make any mistakes......"

"You're right, I'm just worried about this!" Qi Wang nodded, "It's just the two of us this time, so we must be careful, you don't drink for a while...... I'm not afraid of anything else, but although Wei Zhongxian is treacherous, he knows everything about the court, and there are still many more parties waiting for him to make a comeback. But we lost Wei Zhongxian on the road and let him fall into the hands of Zhao Jin, then there will be no redemption! ”

This is really not a blind worry, Wei Zhongxian's status was so high before, and he had been in power in the center of the Ming Dynasty for so long, so he naturally knew the inside story of the Ming Dynasty, if he fell into the hands of Zhao Jin and turned to work for Zhao Jin, then Zhao Jin would probably be even more powerful.

"That's nature." Liu Songping nodded again, then walked off the kang, took out his clothes from the wardrobe next to him, and began to put them on one by one. "However, don't worry, I have a friendship with your father, I will protect you even if I work hard."

"Third uncle, how do you say this? I'm your nephew, so I should have sacrificed my life to protect you in circles. Qi Wang held Liu Songping's shoulder, "You are so old, it is obvious that I should take care of you!" ”

He is from the bottom of his heart, the two families have been in contact for many years, and he has already regarded the third uncle as his relative, and now he has no relatives, only this one relative, if there is no third uncle, who else can he get close to?

He also knows that the current world is not peaceful, and the two of them will take care of each other for thousands of miles, and God knows what will happen along the way?

Liu Songping was moved, but he didn't say anything, just patted him on the shoulder.

"Brother Wang, I'm not worried about you else, I'm worried about your temper......" he sighed, "It's right that you're upright, but don't be upright!" Listen to Uncle, on the way, you should be respectful to Father-in-law Wei, don't scold at every turn. ”

"That'...... That Wei Zhongxian brought disaster to the country and the people, I only hate myself for being in my duty, I can't let him taste it with my own hands, where can I flatter him again? Qi Wang couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, back then, Wei Zhongxian was arrogant, and we just forbear, where do we need to see his face now?" ”

"Why don't you need it now? Gonggong Wei is now defeated, but after so many years of the dynasty, is there still less of them who have fallen and resurged? If he goes to the prison of Beizhen Fusi, he will be a prisoner, and you can still be a little more fierce to him, but ......" Liu Songping shook his head, obviously disapproving of Qi Wang's attitude, "He is not a prisoner now, he was just sent to the Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum by the emperor's order to be detained, God knows when he will be able to recover?" ”

"Resurgence?" Qi Wang blinked, "How is this possible?" ”

"It's unlikely." Liu Songping just smiled, "It's just that the dynasty has been in place for so many years, what hasn't happened?" Even if it's unlikely, maybe it will come true one day, so ah, Brother Wang, let's be careful......"

Qi Wang also stopped talking, he knew that what the third uncle said was right.

Not to mention that Gonggong Wei has not entered the prison, according to the rules of Jinyiwei, unless he has been taken care of by the eunuchs in advance, the ministers who have really entered the prison will also be guarded by good students, and will not be scolded arbitrarily, otherwise the court has always been chaotic, and God knows when the person who has been oppressed suddenly became the minister of the palace again?

It's just that...... For Wei Zhongxian, he really couldn't bear that breath.

Liu Songping opened the window and looked, it was almost dark.

"Okay, I've drunk enough wine today, and I'm pretty much done, so you can go back first." Then, he twisted his waist and stretched out his hand, "You are also right, now Uncle is indeed going to practice his muscles and bones, and if he doesn't practice this old bone, he won't be able to move!" It can't be a drag on you! ”

"Third uncle, it's great that you can do this!" Seeing Liu Songping's re-energized appearance, Qi Wang finally smiled again, "As long as you are willing to move, how many of those current Han generals can compare to you!" ”

In an instant, he had a thought in his heart, "As long as the third uncle can regain his strength, this mission is not a bad thing".

Liu Songping just kept smiling and watching Qi Wang leave, and after Qi Wang left, he closed the door again, and then his expression became solemn again.

He walked briskly back to his house, then opened a neatly arranged box and pulled out an embroidered spring knife. Unlike the surrounding messy environment, this embroidered spring knife is obviously very well maintained, and under the dim oil lamp, this knife shows a kind of inky black, and the edge of the blade shines with a black luster.

Liu Songping didn't speak, just looked at the knife quietly.

After a long time, he smiled, then walked out of the door again with his knife, and then danced directly in the court.

The wind at night was colder than during the day, but he was unconscious, and he danced his sword under the moon vigorously, and his movements were so swift and powerful that he could no longer see his usual numbness and dullness.

At this time, his eyes were wide open, and there was no longer the depression and numbness in them just now.

After a few days, it was finally time for Qi Wang and Liu Songping to escort Wei Zhongxian on the road.

Early that morning, a large group of brocade guards escorted Wei Zhongxian out of the detained mansion and came to the Yongding Gate.

Today, as recently, the weather is still cold.

The wind mixed with sand drifted in the air, blowing people's faces with pain.

It was clear that it was broad daylight, but the sun only had the strength to hide behind the dark clouds, and the dark sky pressed against the earth, and there was not much light to be seen, but it was almost the same as the usual dusk.

On such a day, the once famous and powerful Wei Zhongxian Wei Gonggong finally ushered in the day when he left the capital.

The old man, who was guarded by a group of fierce brocade guards, was slowly wrapped under the city gate by the crowd, and then stopped with them.

He didn't know why he stopped, and he knew that no one would answer even if he asked, so he didn't say a word, but just raised his head and looked at the glorious gate behind him.

This will be the last time I see the face of the capital...... An indescribable feeling suddenly welled up in his heart.

Decades ago, he couldn't get along in his hometown, endured great pain and castrated himself, and then came here with the dream of one day being able to soar, passed through this city gate, and came to this majestic capital city that is unique in the world.

He didn't know how many people had come here with the same ideals as him, and he didn't know what he had to do to make it happen. He only knew that he had no way to retreat, no matter what the cost was, he could only go on and on, and there was no way to turn back.

After wasting decades of time, exhausting his life's strength, and taking advantage of the luck that he didn't know how many lifetimes he had cultivated, relying on hard work, patience, flattery to his masters and ruthlessness towards his competitors, he finally got appreciated little by little, and slowly crawled out of the lowest corner of the palace, becoming a task with a head and face in the palace, and finally won the appreciation of the Son of Heaven.

In the Ming Dynasty, what does it mean for a eunuch to be appreciated by the Son of Heaven?

That's right, it means glory and wealth, it means monstrous power, and it means that he can get things that he couldn't think of before in this life...... In addition to this, he also knew that he had to be the evil dog of the Son of Heaven, to think what the Son of Heaven wanted, and to do what he wanted to do but could not say clearly.

He did it, so the Son of Heaven made him a figure above 10,000 people under the entire Ming Dynasty.

In the palace, relying on the emperor's favor, although he is not the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi, but he is the only existence in the palace. Even if you go out of the palace, there are a large number of followers who call back and hug, how Xuan He was at that time!

Now, it's all gone.

A few decades ago came with nothing, and a few decades later with nothing, everything is in vain and a dream, but people are dozens of years old.

In any case, everyone in life only has so many years, as long as there are those years of glory, isn't that enough? Wei Zhongxian thought to himself.

There were many people gathered around the city gate, including poor people in ragged clothes, scholars dressed as Sven, and rich merchants with rich clothes...... Everyone looked at themselves as if they were going to see something good from them, and some of them had a smile of resentment and relief on their faces, as if they were laughing at themselves for finally falling to this point.

But Wei Zhongxian looked around leisurely, as if he was not sad or lost at all.

Laugh, laugh, since our family has lost, we deserve to make you laugh.

If you laugh at me, I will laugh at you!

Before he knew it, a smile appeared on his face.
