In Qin Leyin's memory, Qin Xiao did not look like the rude and strong Skyrim people as rumored.

He is gentle and elegant, like a kind uncle next door, and even a little chattering, and can talk to anyone for a long time. When Qin Leyin first met him, he was teaching a few little children to read "Hui Yao Fu" in the outer city of Xuanzhu County.

Seeing the inconspicuous bruises on Qin Leyin's body, he didn't say anything, but suddenly changed the cultural class to the tactics class, teaching a few little children how to cause effective damage to adults under height suppression. He was knocked down several times by the little kids that day, and he invited everyone to eat mung bean soup.

After Qin Leyin returned, he used the tricks he learned on the street to knock down his father for the first time.

His father was very surprised, and then used the tactics to beat Qin Le Yin even worse.

When Qin Le Yin went to Qin Xiao with a blue face and swollen nose, Qin Xiao seemed to be prepared, called a medical officer to come over to help Qin Le Yin treat, and then began to teach him the tactics of war.

A spy who likes to pit children, this is Qin Leyin's initial impression of Qin Xiao.

"Actually, there is nothing surprising that this kind of thing happens every few years." Bai Prison said: "Yan Kyoto regards the people who go to Skyrim as officials, and when the people of Skyrim kill the sacrifice, they will naturally die down. ”

"But it was different."

Leyu: "What's different?" ”

"The political situation is different." Bai Prison said: "The first emperor wanted to reform and revitalize the backwater of Huiyao, and the factions of the imperial court confronted each other but refused to let the royal family embezzle their interests, so the sky became a breakthrough. ”

"The Yanjing Janissaries can't move, so the imperial court plans to transfer the elite soldiers of the seven districts to form a new army to conquer the sky. Because the Praetorian Guards had long been polluted and infiltrated by the officials of the imperial court, the emperor wanted to form a force that obeyed his orders and had combat power, and the combined army of the outer region was the best choice. ”

And the various factions of the imperial court did not object, although everyone knew the emperor's thoughts, this move could weaken the combat power of the outer region, and the Yanjing family, who was worried about the wealthy families in the outer region, was naturally willing. And will the feast of the new army really be enjoyed exclusively by the emperor? Everyone had their own evil intentions and passed this decree. ”

"For a time, except for Skyrim, the other seven districts all sent troops to support Yanjing and formed a new army of 30,000. An interesting point is that the reason why the former emperor had the confidence to form a new army was due to Qin Xiao's contributions. ”

Le Yu was a little stunned: "What does this have to do with Qin Xiao?" ”

"His tinkering with Yanjing in those years has re-enriched the treasury. Moreover, Qin Xiao's contribution to connecting railways, repairing bridges and repairing roads is indispensable. ”

"Without him, the new army would definitely not have been formed so quickly, and it would not have even passed this proposal."

Bai Prison smiled, but there was no smile in his voice: "It's ridiculous, it's because of his efforts that the imperial court has the confidence to form a new army and annihilate his hometown." ”

Le Yu couldn't help but ask: "Actually, wouldn't it be good to suppress the rebellion?" Why do you have to launch annihilation? ”

Annihilation, the cruelty of the word can be seen in the words alone - it means killing all the adults who have the ability to resist, leaving only the children.

Radiance rarely launches a war of annihilation, unless it is against the barbarians, but even against the barbarians is rare, because thousands of years of defense have crippled the barbarians.

But in the early days of the founding of the Radiant Empire, the term Annihilation War was quite common - after all, the Radiant Eight District was not sent with phone bills, and the Radiant people were more willing to completely wipe out all barbarians than to persuade the savages.

For the regular army, even if the barbarians can hide in the barren mountains and mountains, and the army is difficult to pass, they only need to send an elite team composed of martial artists who have entered the hall to deal with those savages who have not practiced combat techniques once and for all.

Bai Hell shook the ashes of his cigarette and said: "If the rebellion is suppressed, there is no need for a new army at all, just let the Skyrim army suppress it by itself, at most it will be time-consuming and laborious, but after all, it is a local army, and the effect is better." ”

"Maybe it's because the formation of a new army always needs to be tempered through war, or maybe the imperial court is impatient with the frequent civil upheavals in the Skyrim and wants to solve the problem once and for all, and doesn't want to continue the previous policy of softness...... Of course, it could also be the whim of the big guys. ”

"Anyway, there are no officials in the imperial court who are from the sky, and of course everyone doesn't care about destroying a group of people who have nothing to do with them but often make trouble...... Except for him. ”

"It wasn't until Qin Xiao stood up at the court meeting that everyone knew that he was actually from the sky."

Hellish shrugged: "How can ants be cars?" All his friends who knew him well, including me, advised him not to be stubborn, how could he possibly stand up to the power of the imperial court? You are an orphan in the sky and have no family, even if you have, you just take it, why do you run into a hall full of vermilions? ”

"Everyone agrees, you don't agree, how old are you?"

"And then he let everyone know how old he is."

"He used his connections, and he could not only make the oil make Yanjing's rusty machine work, but also have a way to make it malfunction. Although he did not dare to support Qin Xiao openly, his friends—including me—slowed down the pace of the new army's expedition. ”

"At that time, it was either a railway derailment, or no one changed the sunlamp failure, and the preparation of food, grass, ordnance, clothing, and all materials was delayed, which successfully delayed the speed of the new army."

"Of course, these things are just to stall for time, Qin Xiao's real purpose is to find the loyal guard."

Le Yu was stunned: "Loyal Guard? ”

Bai Prison nodded: "It is said that every Zhongwei Junzuo is a person who has a close relationship with the royal family, and only Zhongwei Junzuo can directly influence the decision-making of the imperial court. No one knows if he found Zhongwei Junzuo, but as a result, the annihilation war was canceled, Skyrim suppressed the rebellion on its own, and Qin Xiao, who was in a prosperous situation, was sent to Dongyang District. ”

"As for what he did in Dongyang, you know better than me."

Yes, Le Yu knows very well what Qin Xiao has done in Dongyang.

He brought shisha and directly poisoned an entire generation of the Silver Blood Society.

He conspired with Jing Qingfu to try to destroy the Silver Blood Society in a joint effort between officials and businessmen.

Whether it is Leyu or Qin Leyin, they all think that Qin Xiao is an ambitious politician. But now, Leyu has a new understanding of him.

Suddenly, Le Yu's heart moved and asked, "How did he die?" ”

This is not only a problem of music language, but also a problem of qin music yin. Among the many purposes of Qin Le Yin's visit to Yanjing, one of them was to investigate the cause of Qin Xiao's death first, and then avenge him.

"The emperor thought that Qin Xiao was a talented person, and he was also a talent who had offended many factions, and he wanted to summon Qin Xiao back as a lonely minister." "But the others are afraid of him," he whispered. ”

"Fear?"

Bai Prison exhaled a wisp of light smoke: "Qin Xiao's ability to be exposed when he slowed down the new army made the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty vigilant. He can mobilize all the departments of Yanjing by himself, which means that if the emperor directly cleans out all the ministers of the imperial court or even the entire cabinet, Qin Xiao has the ability to let the imperial court continue to operate! ”

"Moreover, he has no family, no wife and daughter, and he cannot pose a threat to the imperial power, he will become the sharpest knife and the strongest shield of the royal family!"

"An emperor who has a heart for reform, a person who has nothing to worry about, who is not afraid, who is not afraid?"

"Qin Xiao returned to Beijing and was idle for a year, and the four guards of Huiyao, the imperial court faction, and the royal family also secretly clashed for a year. A little person like me, I don't know what kind of exchange they have reached, but the result is that Qin Xiao was imprisoned and convicted of rebellion. “

"Inverse?"

"That is, to buy people's hearts and minds and plot against them."

Leyu couldn't help but smile: "This is a good person with a good reward?" ”

"That's what I asked him when I went to see him in prison." Bai Prison also smiled: "Guess what? He actually nodded, saying that this is a good person has a good reward. ”

"If it weren't for the relationships that had been established before, how could he have slowed down the pace of the New Army? If it weren't for his hard work, how could Junzuo be willing to stop the imperial court from making decisions? ”

"If you give, you will get something, and if you are good, you will be rewarded, which is very fair."

He said that his biggest regret was that he learned the news too late. If he is given enough time to operate, he may be able to become the marshal of the new army and make the funeral a happy event...... But even Jun Zuo did not accede to his request, because the emperor would not hand over the new army to someone who disagreed with him. ”

The cigarette went out, and Bai Prison was unaware, muttering: "After all, it was a conversation ten years ago, and I forgot a lot of the content, but I still remember, I asked him, do you regret it?" ”

The voice of the prison worship changed, as if repeating someone's words: "Regret is inevitable, just want to be worthy of your heart."

"I'm a mediocre person, and it's worth it to be able to end a war with my life. Aren't we keeping our lives so that we can give up for a reason at some point?"

"Haha, it's been a long time since I've seen you look like this. Usually after you look at me with this kind of foolish look, I will say what good it would be for me to do this good deed...... But I'm sorry, there really wasn't any real benefit this time, and if I had to say anything, I can only say that I'm very happy."

"Yes, how can good people have good rewards, how can this world be so fair? Good people are rewarded, but it is just a lie used by the rulers to maintain the stability of the people, and a curse used by literati and writers to exploit the common people...... and the simple aspirations of ordinary people."

"I don't want to be a hero, I just want to be an expert, an expert who can solve the troubles of ordinary people and do things in a down-to-earth manner, but I don't know why I have come to this point, maybe this is the will of God."

"Huh? Haha, of course the secret of 'good people get good rewards' is a lie to you, have you only discovered it now?"

"As for why you did it...... That's because, of course, I know that we're all selfish people. Or rather, how can there be a selfless man?"

"But selfishness and selflessness are not opposites, they can be tolerated by each other...... Since we are all selfish, then I will give you reasons to do good things with selfish purposes. It works well, doesn't it?"

"I do so much, of course, because I want to get ahead, to be famous, to be in power, and ...... I'm patriotic."

"You're looking at me like that again...... Indeed, how am I, an orphan of the sky, a prisoner, a victim of political struggle, to say such high-sounding words?"

"Now everyone likes to be selfish, of course, this is because of the world, only when the selfish person can live, and the selfless person has long since died...... Moreover, shouldn't patriotism be the right of the bigwigs, and what qualifications do low-level people like orphans, butchers, and workers have to be patriotic?"

"I thought the same thing when I was a child, until I met that walking on that rainy night, with only half of my body left, draining the last shred of life force, and begging me to pass on the information."

"At that time, I suddenly realized that there are some things that are above life. He who walked and passed on to me not only information, but also his will."

"I kept this will in my heart, and the more I grew up, the stronger my will became. The glorious culture, the history, the hardworking people, the magnificent architecture, everything is precipitated in my heart. But since the way of the world is like this, I can only adapt to the way of the world and use selfish methods to do selfless things."

"I'm not loyal to the court, I'm not loyal to the four guards, I'm not loyal to the royal family, I'm only loyal to Huiyao. I hope that this land and the people who live on it will live better and better, and that they will no longer be tormented by hunger, cold, war, and exploitation."

"Hell, don't cry, it's really ugly...... Also, you don't need to follow me because you are moved, you just do your duty. This world doesn't need heroes, only experts, and if everyone did their jobs, the world would have been peaceful a long time ago."

"Don't resent the Emperor and Junzuo, Junzuo is not obligated to continue to save me, and the Emperor is an ambitious man, but his ambition can make the world better. My death is inevitable, and maybe it's because I've done so many good things that I'll be able to live a few more years."

"That student of mine may come to Yanjing in the future, you can take care of it...... Maybe he doesn't need your care, he's a ruthless man."

"So don't cry, I want to cry when you cry...... I said I regretted it, but if I could do it all over again, I would still be like this."

"If you want to do something, you have to work hard, so that even if you fail, you can blame the world without being angry with yourself."

"I live for my righteousness, I die for my righteousness."

"Radiance is good, I'll come back next time."

After visiting the prison, there was only silence in the bedroom.

After a while.

Leyu suddenly realized that the prison worship asked not to turn on the lights, perhaps foreseeing this moment.

After a long while, Bai Prison said in the same voice as usual: "I say this, not to ask Hongle you to inherit his will, but to let you know the past history. ”

"In the face of a game that requires your life, what kind of realization did you do? After knowing Qin Xiao's fate, are you really willing to squeeze into this life-and-death political struggle? ”

Le Yu felt that the prison worship was very entangled.

He was pleasantly surprised that Qin Leyin had the same qualities as Qin Xiao, but he was also afraid that he would personally send Qin Xiao's only student to death, so he found Qin Leyin on the eve of the war, told him everything he was hiding, and asked Qin Leyin to sanction him - whether he agreed or refused, it was a punishment for him.

Just as Leyu was thinking about how to answer, suddenly a broken voice came from outside.

Bang Bang Bang -

The dim lights outside the window went out one by one, and the whole bedroom was dark and lightless in an instant, as if you were in the abyss!

Immediately after, they heard a 'squeak' at the door.
