Liu Jing repeatedly silently read what the Xuan Daoist wrote——

Dare to ask the gentleman what he is worried about here? Shackles? Shackles?

If there is no Song, the gentleman is worry-free.

Kyushu is unified, and the world is peaceful.

Abandoning the throne and putting the Song Kingdom, you can see that the mountains and rivers are long and wide, and the heavens are lofty.

……

Life is not shaped by flesh and blood, not determined by blood relatives, and not discussed by others.

The fateful one, the heart also. What the heart worries, what the heart regrets, what the heart wants, and what the heart forgives, is life.

A gentleman can go with his life and regret it.

The gentleman can forgive whatever he wishes in this life, and he can come with this life.

……

The sound of the piano sounded again, and the rhythm was calm and soothing. Liu Jing's heart has several layers of turmoil.

If you abandon the throne, can you really be reborn and repent?

Can you live twice in this life?

Liu Jing carefully folded the tissue paper in his hand, gently put it into his arms, and saluted the old man who played the piano: "Junior, thank you for the guidance of the Xuan Daoist!" I also thank the Taoist for his kindness and generosity, and I am willing to give the younger generation a way to repent and rehabilitate. The teachings of the Taoist leader, the younger generations will think carefully after they go back. ”

The piano sounded silently, and Liu Jing had to get up and leave.

The sound of horses' hooves stepping on dead leaves gradually faded away, and Liu Ying covered his ten fingers on the seven strings, and the sound of the piano stopped abruptly.

Kindness and generosity? He sighed coldly.

You and I are not saints. The merciful and generous people of the world are long gone. I spared your life, but because the Song people scarce you. If you die, the Song Kingdom will become a plate of scattered sand, and war will break out again, which will naturally cause a lot of trouble.

Before his father-in-law's death, he was most looking forward to the unification of Kyushu. He died for me, and since I have survived, I will surely fulfill his long-cherished wish!

Only if you live in the Zen position, the Song Kingdom will be attached to your decision.

But, Liu Jing, if you disappoint again, you won't have a third life.

……

In the White Jade Palace, everything is as usual. Liu Jing only had a thin piece of paper in his arms, but his mood was completely different from before.

It turns out that everything here can be left behind by him. Not to exchange anything, just to be worthy of your own heart and your own life.

In the past, he wanted to use the jade seal, defense map and military power of the Song Kingdom in exchange for Shu'er's forgiveness, but even if Shu'er forgave him, what would happen? He himself would still be haunted by nightmares.

Countless times I have dreamed of the terrible scream coming from the bottom of the cliff of the peerless peak, which is the word "Xiao Ying" shouted by King Wei when he jumped down for his righteous son without hesitation.

I have dreamed countless times that Lin Ying fell into Shu'er's arms, Shu'er's hands were covered with blood, Lin Ying kept pulling her sleeves, but wiped Shu'er with her own sleeves.

Countless times I have dreamed of the Shu King Wu Xie who competed with him with a sword, and I have also dreamed of the Yi Shu Palace burning in the flames. Twenty fifty thousand

Liu Jing never hated Zhuge Congrong, but admired his natural good skin, good chances, and good marriage, and most envied him for having such a good father-in-law. If Liu Jing was not the king of Song, he would envy a person, and he would not kill him at all. And Zhuge died calmly, and he didn't rejoice for a moment.

For Lin Ying, although Liu Jing was jealous of him, he was even more angry about why he was jealous of such a person who seemed to be inferior to him everywhere. In the final analysis, Liu Jing knows that although Lin Ying doesn't know martial arts, although she loves to be smart, and although she has a perverse personality, she will never be able to compare to him is when she grew up with Shu'er in Chen Kingdom. If Liu Jing was not the king of Song, he would be jealous of a person, and he would not condone his subordinates to kill him at all. And Lin Ying died, and he still didn't rejoice for a moment.

Liu Jing never had any emotions towards the King of Shu. Envy and jealousy can't be talked about, and respect can't be talked about. There are only a few faces, and he learned his swordsmanship when he dismantled the moves. And the king of Shu died outside Jinyang Pass, and killed countless Rong people before he died, but he could only sit in the white jade palace to listen to the court meeting, and listen to Lin Ying, the king of Chu, hold a grand sacrifice for the king of Shu...... At that time, he really respected the king of Shu, Wuxie.

On a snowy night, Liu Jing stepped on the white jade platform alone and watched the candles in the white jade palace.

"Dare to ask the gentleman, what is the reason for suffering here?"

"What is the ...... of suffering," he silently recited the handwriting of the Sect Chief. A gentleman can go with his life and regret it. The gentleman can forgive whatever he wishes in this life, and he can come with this life. ”

After the snow stopped, the bright moon was clear, Liu Jing looked up at the moon, and his mind had been decided-

In life, you must always live for yourself once.

The one who becomes me, the one who defeats me, the one who gives birth to me, and the one who destroys me, is no longer anyone else, only myself.

……

Many years later, Liu Jing still remembers that night when the moon was clear and the candlelight was mild, he wrote a Zen letter overnight, returning the Song Kingdom to its original owner.

The Book of Zen Thrones was written to King Huai of Song.

He planned to send someone to Zhao Guopingliang immediately after the next day's meeting.

However, the next day, the court meeting heard that Liu Jing was tied to the throne of the Song Dynasty.

Liu Jing took the Zhao State Detective Report sent by the army, and actually said that the Rong people had entered Jinyang Pass again. The Rong people were menacing this time, the soldiers were fast, they did not take the city, and rushed to the outside of Pingliang City like hungry wolves, destroying five Zhao military camps on the way, and burning eight Zhao army granaries.

Surprisingly, the gate of Pingliang City was closed, and King Zhao did not come out.

The former King of Zhao bowed to the battlefield and stabbed down the sword of the Rong clan with a long sword, but this time the Rong people deceived the capital of Zhao State, but he did not come out, causing an uproar in Zhao State.

What's even more puzzling is that the Rong people only stayed outside Pingliang City for one day, and before the king of Zhao went out of the city to face the battle, they rushed eastward, burning and looting in the villages of the large and small cities of Zhao State, like a plague of locusts.

Liu Jing had just read the belated Zhao State Exploration Report when he received an urgent letter from the Song-Zhao border generals.

The Rong people have already invaded the Song Realm!

There are Rong people in the west who bully Zhao and the king of Zhao does nothing, allowing the Rong people to enter the Song realm, and there are Chu people in the east to attack the Song Dynasty, and the plague is raging in the Song army, if it is not treated in time, I am afraid that the Song army will not be able to resist Chu and the Rong people. What's more, when the plague invades the Chu army, the Rong people can swallow the Song and Chu countries.

Liu Jing had to sigh, while listening to the courtiers talking about the courage of the Rong people and the cunning of the Chu people, he weighed it in his heart:

"If I give the throne to the unknown King Zhao at this time, I will put the lives of the innocent people of the Song Kingdom at risk.

And the Chu people attacked the Song Dynasty, and it was not a Song and Chu marriage, if I surrendered the Song State to the Chu State at this time, the Song State would definitely oppose it.

At a time when natural and man-made disasters are rampant, if I leave...... The Song Kingdom will be chaotic, and the Rong people will trample on the land of Kyushu, and then the lives will be ruined, isn't it my fault of one thought?

That's it, although the eldest husband has no attachment here, he can't be so chic that he has no morality and responsibility. ”

At the court meeting that day, the king of Song overwhelmed his ministers and proposed to negotiate peace with the Chu army.

Liu Jing personally wrote down the peace letter that the Song people felt ashamed of, and ordered people to send it to Dongfang Chou, the king of Anyi of Chu State, who was sitting in Yide City. It was written in the book of discussion that the cities obtained by the Chu army in this battle were all returned to the Chu State, and it was hoped that the Song and Chu would stop the war, cure the plague in the army, and prevent the Rong people from attacking.
