Li Zhongyi really doesn't hate Li Muzhi.

On the contrary, he admired the other person.

He also thought more than once that if Li Muzhi hadn't died, if Li Muzhi had the final say, maybe he wouldn't have to be bloody or intrigued, and he would still be able to be a great minister.

After all, Li Muzhi taught him a lot of things at the beginning, making him better than the vast majority of people in this world.

In that kind of world, it is easier to give full play to his talents and abilities.

However, there are no ifs in this world.

So, he had no other choice.

"Brother Bai, I understand what you mean." Li Zhongyi is very sincere, he is willing to have a heart-to-heart with a veteran like Bai Xiaosheng, he has always known how to get along with this group of reckless men.

"But times are no longer the same."

"What's the difference?" Bai Xiaosheng asked.

Li Zhongyi said seriously: "The young master is dead. ”

Bai Xiaosheng was silent.

"When the young master is alive, fairness is the highest criterion, right is right, wrong is wrong, merit is merit, and passing is passing. At the beginning, the only son of Chengguo broke the chastity of a civilian woman and violated the military rules set by the young master. The whole battalion interceded for him, because he was really brave in battle.

But the young master still castrated him.

Big Brother Bai, although Your Majesty is wise, she is not a young master. The young master is a saint, and His Majesty is a human.

You can offend the young master, but you can't offend Your Majesty. ”

This is really a heart-wrenching truth.

Bai Xiaosheng is not young, and he will not be easily moved by Li Zhongyi.

He was just confused.

From Li Zhongyi's tone, Bai Xiaosheng could hear Li Zhongyi's respect and love for Li Muzhi.

Since he has feelings for Li Muzhi, why can he stab Li Muzhi in the back without hesitation?

"I didn't expect Master Li to remember the events of ten years ago so clearly." Bai Xiaosheng said lightly.

Li Zhongyi drank a glass of wine by himself, and then recalled: "Brother Bai, I won't tell you, I've been thinking about it all these years, if the young master didn't die, if the young master had the final say in this court, how good it would be." ”

"In that case, I'm afraid Lord Li won't be able to be the commander of the Jinyi Guard."

Li Zhongyi waved his hand, and his tone became excited: "Who wants to be the commander of this Jinyi Guard?" The young master taught me dragon slaying at the beginning, I never wanted to be a spy, I wanted to be a civil official, I wanted to be a prime minister, I wanted to reform the country. ”

In the end, Li Zhongyi stood up and danced with his hands: "What now? I can only deal with intrigue and intrigue all day long, and all the things that the young master taught me in the first place are useless. Big Brother Bai, do you think I'm rare this Jinyi Guard commander? ”

"If you don't like it, why don't you resign?" Bai Xiaosheng asked very calmly.

Li Zhongyi smiled bitterly: "Because I don't have the realm of Big Brother Bai." ”

"How?"

"Big Brother Bai regards fame and fortune as dung, I can't do it." Li Zhongyi said calmly: "I was born as a beggar, and I have been afraid of poverty since I was a child, and I am afraid of being low. The young master taught me a body of knowledge and martial arts, not to make me an ordinary person. Big Brother Bai, maybe you will look down on me, but I can't let go of my current status, I'm a layman. ”

Bai Xiaosheng was silent for a moment, and then took the initiative to raise his glass to Li Zhongyi with a glass of wine.

Li Zhongyi was flattered and clinked glasses with Bai Xiaosheng.

"Everyone has their own choice, and no one is more noble than the other, this is what the marshal said back then." Bai Xiaosheng said.

Li Zhongyi nodded: "What the young master said is always so reasonable. ”

"So, the marshal should not go unnoticed."

Li Zhongyi frowned.

He really didn't want anything unpleasant to happen with these veterans.

In the past ten years, he has been promoted very quickly, and his foundation is also very stable, in addition to the favor from the empress, the greater reason is the friendly attitude of the "Vertical Arch Party" towards him.

The "Vertical Arch Party" has great influence in the DPRK, and although Bai Xiaosheng has not set foot in the court, he has a very high reputation in the Vertical Arch Party because of his noble temperament.

If he makes a move on Bai Xiao, it is basically equivalent to consciously bowing the party, which is something he can't accept.

"Big Brother Bai, the young master has always been a person who has the world in mind. You should know that he never cares about his name before and after his death. Li Zhongyi still wanted to persuade Bai Xiaosheng to give up.

But Bai Xiaosheng's attitude was very stubborn: "The marshal doesn't care, it's his business." Whether we do it or not, it's our business. ”

"But Your Majesty's side ......"

"You are all afraid of the emperor, so you don't dare to mention the marshal. I am a scattered person, and if I have no desire, I am strong. If Your Majesty doesn't like it, let her come to me directly. ”

What else can Li Zhongyi say?

He could only smile wryly.

"Brother Bai, you're embarrassing your brother."

"I don't embarrass you, I just don't understand, the marshal saved so many people's lives at the beginning, ten years have passed, isn't the marshal worthy of being remembered?

Seeing that the influence of the marshal is getting worse day by day, those big people who are high up, don't your consciences hurt? ”

Bai Xiaosheng is a great cultivator.

When a great cultivator lets go of his cultivation, the burst of energy is extremely terrifying.

Bai Xiaosheng sent his words to thousands of households.

Everyone in the capital stopped what they were doing at this moment.

There were many big people who fell silent after hearing these words.

Li Zhongyi knew that things were out of control.

"Big Brother Bai, you ...... You're ......."

Li Zhongyi didn't know what to say.

"Go to see the emperor, if you want to kill or chop, I am waiting for her holy decree in the natural residence."

"Not to that extent, Big Brother Bai, I will definitely do my best to mediate for you."

Li Zhongyi really couldn't sit still.

Leaving a word, he hurriedly left the natural residence and hurried to the palace.

After Li Zhongyi left, Bai Xiaosheng returned to the private room where Mu Zhi was.

"President, Li Zhongyi has been poisoned, and the time of the poison is three days later, which is enough to pick us out."

"I can't pick it up." Mu Zhi smiled: "Father Song Hui is now in charge of Dali Temple, and he learned a lot from me back then. With him, he will definitely be able to find out about you in the end, so as to lead me out. ”

Bai Xiaosheng frowned: "Father Song Hui? Will he catch you? ”

"I'd love to know the answer too." The secluded path of the pastor.

"President, I feel that Li Zhongyi doesn't seem to be faking his feelings for you." Bai Xiaosheng was a little strange.

Mu Zhi smiled: "Li Zhongyi is a talent, he will be better under me than now, and he should miss me." ”

"Then ...... him"

"He's only on the winner's side, and unfortunately, he's on the wrong side."

……

Palace.

Looking at Li Zhongyi who was kneeling on the ground, the empress was expressionless, and said lightly: "Why don't you kill Bai Xiaosheng?" ”

Li Zhongyi said truthfully: "The minister doesn't want to offend the vertical arch party. ”

"It's been ten years since he passed away, and I want to see how many people will stand up against me for him."

"Minister—I see."

Li Zhongyi was bitter in his heart.

But he knew he had no other choice.

Because ten years ago, he had already made his choice.
