"Father...... You know what? ”

"I don't know much about this, but there are not enough people in the palace?"

Murong Jin lowered his eyes, "It's not that there are not enough people, it's just to ask." "I guess those old people have been cleaned up pretty much, so......

Emperor Yan seemed to see through his thoughts, and said: "It's better not to dwell on the past, if you are too obsessed, you will only be cocooned and self-bound——"

Murong Jin secretly clenched his robe. Don't be obsessed? Hoisted by his own petard? Can such a high-sounding reason erase everything from the past?

"Erchen knows." I know, but I just know. Then he asked, "Why does my father have time to come here today?" ”

Emperor Yan said kindly: "Today is your birthday, I should come and have a look." After another pause, "I haven't seen you for three years, and Ah Jin has grown up a lot." ”

Murong Jin smiled slightly and said, "Yes, three years have passed unconsciously, and I have never felt that time has passed so quickly before." It's hard for my father to remember the birthday of his son. ”

Emperor Yan's expression seemed to be old for a moment, and his tone became soothing, "Ah Jin, I know that you have always held a grudge against me, and you have never been able to forgive me. But can I forgive myself? I have lost Northern Qi, I have lost your mother, and I am sorry for you. Just ......"

"Erchen knows!" Murong Jin coldly interrupted Emperor Yan, "Father Emperor has 10,000 last resorts, and Father Emperor doesn't have to repeat the rest." ”

Emperor Yan sighed, "Ah Jin, I don't want you to know how many I have to do. The situation is chaotic now, and you have a special status, and there are some things that you need to understand earlier. ”

Murong Jin frowned slightly, "What the father emperor wants his son to understand, the son has probably already understood, but the son still has a question that he wants to ask his godfather." ”

Emperor Yan: "You just say it." ”

Murong Jin breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "Erchen remembers that the master once taught, 'The ancient monarchs and the people, benevolence and righteousness govern them, love them with peace, faithfulness guides them, they must eliminate their disasters, and think about their blessings', and those who have Zheng Guo in ancient times first friendly Hu Guo to win trust, and then wait for the opportunity to destroy it, how should they be judged this time?" ”

Emperor Yan's face was solemn, "This gentleman is wise, but he is not the king of benevolence and righteousness." Although it is beneficial to the people, it is untrustworthy to the country, and it will leave the name of a crime through the ages. ”

Murong Jin said: "Now that someone is following suit, why not? ”

Emperor Yan said: "Empress Zheng was destroyed by Han, so he was charged." However, since ancient times, the winner is the king, the loser is the coward, and the winner has been famous for thousands of years, and the loser will naturally be reprimanded by the historians of later generations. Therefore, there is no one's sin, and no one's fault, in the long history, there will always be only the strong and the weak, the winner and the loser, and the winner can write history. That's what I want you to understand. ”

"So, in order to become stronger, you can ignore benevolence and righteousness, is this the reason for killing people and destroying the country?"

Emperor Yan was a little angry, how could he not know that this was a borrowing from the ancient precedent to satirize the present monarch. "In all dynasties, no matter the benevolent monarch and tyrant, there is blood on his hands and white bones under his feet. Speaking of which, who can be true to righteousness! If you don't trample others under your feet, how can others look up at you and see your 'righteousness'? After a moment's pause, he added, "So, you have to be strong enough, understand?" ”

Murong Jin closed his eyes and stopped talking. Is this the rule of survival, the means of the king? Unscrupulous means to get what you want, killing—is it only constant killing that makes you stronger?

Emperor Yan looked at Murong Jin quietly and did not speak.

In the midst of such silence, the New Year's bell struck once, twice, three times......

When the silence in his ears returned, Emperor Yan took out a white jade pendant with tassels hanging from his sleeve. The jade quality is made, there seems to be a dark light flowing under the light, warm and transparent, and the fine carving engraves a living beast, which is a rare good product.

The jade pendant was placed on the desk and made a slight noise. "I wanted to give it to you as a birthday gift, but now it's not your birthday, so it's a New Year's gift." After speaking, get up and go with your sleeves brushed.

Murong Jin opened his eyes, put Meiyu in his palm, and stared at it for a while, but fell to the ground fiercely. The jade fell to the ground, making a piercing cracking sound, and split into four. The sparkling beauty of Fang Cai suddenly dimmed and lost its luster.

Emperor Yan, who had not gone far, heard the sound, paused his feet, and made a gesture with his right hand, and several black shadows fell on various places in the Floating Moon Palace, and the night drowned out the figures.

Zhao Jing on the side was taken aback, "Your Highness is still young and ignorant, Your Majesty should not take it too seriously." ”

Emperor Yan snorted coldly, "I am young, but I can understand no less than others!" ”

At this time, Dongxian also heard the sound of shattering and hurriedly went to look, "Your Highness—"

Murong Jin waved his hand, "It's okay, you don't have to guard it." ”

"Yes." I had no choice but to retreat.

After Dongxian covered the door, Murong Jin took out the letterhead and jade pendant.

The handwriting on the letter was written by the Empress herself, and it read:

I love Zijin. My kingdom is broken, and I will perish. If I live in the world, I have no shame to face the soul of my country, so I will go first. Don't be sad, don't complain. This road is long, there will be dangers, and we must be self-reliant. Seeing this jade pendant, it is like seeing me. I wish my son, peace and happiness.

Tranquility and Happiness ......

I hope so.

Murong Jin rubbed the jade pendant in his hand and felt the lines on it carefully. This is......

Murong Jin took an ancient book he had read recently, and the pattern on one of the pages was roughly consistent with the carving on the jade pendant, and next to the pattern were a few small characters in seal script - Taiyin Youying. There is also a note on the side: At the beginning of chaos, the holy beast of the Qi of the Yin and the essence of the Taiyin are the same as the two saints of the two instruments with his brother Sun Zhao.

In this way, this jade pendant should be a pair, this one is a yin jade, then the other yang jade should be in that person's hands. Just thinking about it, he suddenly felt a breath approaching behind him, and he couldn't help frowning. The Sleeve Knife slid into his hand, but before he could raise his hand, he was restrained by his shoulder.

Murong Jin reprimanded: "Who dares to be so bold! ”

The man chuckled lightly and said in a low voice, "Fourth Highness, don't panic, you and I have seen it today." ”

When Murong Jin heard this, he sneered: "Uncle took away my clothes, and he is not afraid that I will freeze to death in the snow and no one will help you restore the country?" He already held the hilt of the knife and stabbed at the person behind him, "This palace called you uncle so many times, but I don't know if you are a real prince or a villain!" ”

Wan Qizhi dodged sideways and pinched Murong Jin's wrist: "Your Highness, it's better to be a little more cold than to be caught sneaking around at night." Furthermore, if Your Highness has believed me, why should you doubt my truth? ”

Murong Jin withdrew his right hand and put the knife into the scabbard, "The queen mother said that her brother has a green jade pendant engraved with Qiulan, which is exactly the same pair as hers, I don't know if you still have it?" ”

Wan Qiyi smiled and said, "Isn't it enough to just look at this face, you have to test right and wrong?" ”

Murong Jin went to see his appearance at this time, the sky was too dark this morning to see clearly, at this time, it was seven points similar to the former queen, and the other three points were different from the woman's heroism, but he said: "There are so many people in the world, it is not uncommon to find someone with a similar appearance." ”

Wan Qizhi reluctantly took out a red jade pendant from his arms, "This is credible, it's not a green jade pendant, it's a red jade pendant, it's not Qiulan, it's an ancient divine beast - the sun is shining." Am I right, Fourth Highness? ”

Murong Jin looked at the white jade pendant in his hand again, it happened to be a pair of the red jade jade pendant, and the shadow of the sun and the sun were just in line with his previous conjecture, so he gave his hand: "It's rude, don't blame my uncle." ”

Wan Qizhi took back the jade pendant, "It's not your fault, it's good to keep more thoughts." "Sit down a few more times," Jin'er said. ”

Jin'er ...... Well, that's ripening so fast......

Murong Jin sat down opposite Wan Qizhi, "It's not yet a day, is my uncle too anxious?" ”

Wan Qizhi's thin lips pulled lightly: "Are you in a hurry?" Hasn't Jin'er already thought about it? ”

Murong Jin: "Then I'll say it directly." If Northern Qi can restore the country, it will naturally be good for you and me, but now that you have no power and I have no power, let alone restore the country, it is not easy to save your life. And my uncle taught me how to say yes? ”

Wan Qizhi looked at Murong Jin, smiled strangely, and said after a long time: "With your and my wisdom, even if there is no sword blade and no soldiers, you can still stir up the world and turn the clouds and rain!" ”

Note: The shadow and sun scorching mentioned in this chapter are sacred beasts in ancient myths and legends. And this holy beast is not like other holy beasts with a strange shape or a beautiful body, in fact, it is actually two intangible things, probably the qi of extreme yin and the qi of extreme yang. The scorching light represents the sun and also represents the yang side; The glow represents the moon and also represents the yang side. The Candlelight is in the form of a large black sphere, while the Spectre is a white hollow ring, the name of which is borrowed from this chapter.
