Chapter 421: Does Your Majesty Regret It? (3rd Watch)
"Princess, wait a minute, the slave will wipe the chair first." Lingzhi said as he was about to walk over.
"Wait." Xie Qing suddenly grabbed her.
Lingzhi's eyes condensed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Princess Shizi, what's wrong?" ”
After serving Xie Qing for a long time, Lingzhi was familiar with Xie Qing's tone, Xie Qing must have found something, but Lingzhi quietly looked around and didn't feel anything abnormal.
Xie Qing's eyes were slightly dark, and he slowly walked to the middle of the flower hall, and said loudly: "Since you are here, please come out." ”
Looking at the people who came out of the flower hall, Lingzhi was shocked, Your Majesty?
Emperor Yongqing raised his eyes and looked at Xie Qing, "How do you know that I am here?" ”
Xie Qing stepped forward and blessed Emperor Yongqing: "The courtiers have seen Your Majesty." Your Majesty has changed into regular clothes, but the fragrance on your body has not changed. The courtiers were pregnant with Rokko and were particularly sensitive to taste. ”
Emperor Yongqing's gaze fell on Xie Qing, "Get up, why did you come here?" ”
"The husband is not here, and the courtiers can only worship Li Xiang on his behalf." Xie Qing said lightly.
Emperor Yongqing's eyes were cold, "Although I agree to re-investigate Li Mu's case, but at the moment this matter is not conclusive, Li Mu is still a criminal minister who collaborated with the enemy and committed treason, you are so bold, you actually came to worship him!" ”
Emperor Yongqing's tone was sharp, and his eyes revealed a fierce light.
However, Xie Qing just smiled lightly and said, "Your Majesty has not ordered that no one is allowed to worship?" Besides, the courtiers thought that since His Majesty agreed with her husband to collect Li Xiang's body, she must also agree to worship him, right? ”
"Could it be that Your Majesty, you are also here to worship Li Xiang?" Xie Qing asked lightly.
Emperor Yongqing snorted coldly and didn't answer, just turned around and walked towards the backyard, pointed to the big tree, and said, "Li Mu is buried here?" ”
Xie Qing nodded: "Yes, my husband said, this is Li Xiang's last wish, this tree was planted by him and his wife back then, and his ashes are buried here, as if he and his wife were buried together." ”
"Why didn't he choose to put his bones in a coffin with Mrs. Lee's?" Emperor Yongqing couldn't help but ask.
Xie Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty has ever thought that he is a criminal minister who collaborated with the enemy and committed treason, if anyone knew about his tomb, maybe some people hated him so much that they would dig up his tomb, wouldn't even Mrs. Li's bones be shocked at that time?" ”
Rather than this, it is better to leave the ashes in the Prime Minister's Mansion and stay at home than to be a lonely ghost.
Emperor Yongqing's lips pursed tightly, "He has a deep affection for his wife." ”
Xie Qing lowered his eyes and was silent, Emperor Yongqing is very strange, he has the ruthlessness of an emperor, but sometimes he is like an ordinary infatuated man, just like he is infatuated with Xie Rongsang, he is infatuated, and he is deeply in love.
"Your Majesty, please allow the courtiers to worship Li Xiang first." Xie Qing blessed Emperor Yongqing, and then placed the worship objects neatly under the tree with Lingzhi.
Incense candles are lit, and yellow paper is burned one by one......
Seeing that the yellow paper was lit up little by little and turned into a cloud of ash, Li Mu's voice and smile appeared in Xie Qing's mind again, and a sour feeling suddenly surged in his heart.
Tears ran down her cheeks and dripped down her clothes......
"What are you crying about?" Emperor Yongqing's eyes narrowed slightly.
Xie Qing wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and slowly stood up, Lingzhi hurriedly supported her, "Princess Shizi, slow down." ”
In fact, Lingzhi's palms were sweating, and the princess couldn't help it for a while and made some irrational moves.
The culprit who killed Li Mu is in front of him, and the princess shouldn't be able to help it.
Xie Qing stood up straight, looked straight at Emperor Yongqing's thoughtful gaze, and said, "Your Majesty, have you ever regretted it?" ”
Emperor Yongqing's gaze changed slightly, "What do you mean?" ”
Xie Qing heard that this splendid mountain and river was beaten down by the first emperor, His Majesty, Li Xiang, and his father, among the four, Li Xiang's family is the most solid, the Li family is a family of nobles for many years, and only Li Xiang is left in the descendant of Li Xiang's generation, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the Li family's family wealth is rich and rivals the country, but when the first emperor and His Majesty held high the banner of the uprising, Li Xiang immediately took all his net worth to support, and used the Li family's private property for the uprising. Dare to ask Your Majesty, are the rumors true? ”
Emperor Yongqing's face froze, "How do you know this?" ”
The person who sat on the throne was the Zhao family, so the Zhao family became the most noble family, but few people remember that the most prominent person in terms of origin and talent was Li Mu.
Xie Qing said lightly: "Your Majesty forgot, these are not secrets, but many people have forgotten them. ”
"If Li Xiang really has a rebellious heart, why wait until more than ten years later, when Li Xiangruo wanted to ascend the throne as emperor when he captured the imperial city, dare to ask who can oppose it?"
Xie Qing looked at Emperor Yongqing, smiled mockingly, and said, "What Li Xiang didn't do at the beginning, why did he do it more than ten years later." If he had ascended to the position of the Ninety-Five Emperor at the beginning, later generations would have commented that he was a hero in troubled times, but what about more than ten years later? He left behind the traitors of the enemy to later generations. Let's ask such a stupid thing, will Li Xiang do it? ”
Li Mu has no need to collaborate with the enemy and treason at all, what he didn't do more than ten years ago, why do he do it more than ten years later? This simply doesn't make sense.
"Presumptuous!" Emperor Yongqing reprimanded sharply, "Xie Qing, you are a mere woman, and you dare to discuss the affairs of the government and politics!" ”
The corners of Xie Qing's lips slightly hooked up a sarcastic smile, "Your Majesty is annoyed and angry?" ”
Bending his knees and bowing to Emperor Yongqing, "The courtiers are really surprised to see Your Majesty here today. The courtiers thought that since His Majesty agreed to successfully send Li Xiang's case, perhaps in His Majesty's heart, Li Xiang was not a chaotic minister and thief, so the courtiers had the audacity to speak and asked His Majesty for forgiveness. ”
Emperor Yongqing was silent, his eyes fell on the plain-clothed woman in front of him, everyone in the world thought that he hated Li Mu, but in fact, no one knew that he was contradictory in his heart, he was very Li Mu secretly supported King Qi, Li Mu was not against Da Yue, but against him as an emperor. But on the other hand, Li Mu was his best friend in the past, and they worked together to lay down the Dayue country, and they even agreed to be brothers forever and create a good story for future generations.
He killed Li Mu, but after Li Mu died, he sometimes couldn't help but recall the years when they fought side by side.
Did he regret it? Actually, it's a little bit......
In the past, they fought side by side to lay down this splendid mountain and river, and later in the more than ten years when he ascended the throne as the emperor, Li Mu was the prime minister, sharing worries and solving problems for him, with Li Mu here, he never worried about the instability of the court.
In the past, when they rebelled, the soldiers and horses were short of food and grass, and it was Li Mu who supported them with the wealth of the country.
Li Mu is the prime minister, the lower can calm the courtiers, and the upper can share the king's worries. With Li Mu here, the Dayue rivers and mountains are solid.
However, it was he who ruined Li Mu with his own hands. For fear of the Li family's revenge, he even wiped out the Li family and cut the grass to the roots!
When Li Mu drank the poisoned wine, he didn't go in person, but he guessed countless times what kind of expression Li Mu was at that time, whether he was disappointed, indifferent, or maybe regretful.
In his heart, he hoped that Li Mu would show a look of regret, so as to prove that it was him Li Mu who was sorry for his brother.
However, Grandpa Gao's reply was that Li Mu looked indifferent from beginning to end, did not say a word, did not frown, picked up the wine glass, and drank the wine in one gulp......
He didn't regret it at all, and even knew that he was guilty of collaborating with the enemy and treason, he still didn't frown, fame and fortune, and later generations commented that it was not as good as his promise to the first emperor......
Li Mu, Li Mu, have you forgotten that you and I were also comrades-in-arms, and you and I were also brothers!
"He's sorry for me!" Emperor Yongqing gritted his teeth and said, "It's him, Li Mu, I'm sorry for me first, it's already merciful for me to keep his whole corpse!" ”
Xie Qing's eyes were slightly cold, and his lips were pursed tightly, a good time for His Majesty the Emperor......
She didn't speak, just stood there quietly, not sad or happy, her expression was light, she might be able to understand why her father Li Mu calmly went to die.
The sincere friendship of many years ago can't withstand the erosion of power after all.
It is hypocritical to say who is sorry for whom. There is no need to say who is right and wrong, no one is the honest teenager of the year.
Li Mu is neither humble nor arrogant, neither sad nor happy, and calmly drinks the deadly poisonous wine, which is a decision and a decision.
Since you think that I am sorry first, then I will pay you with my life, and I will never be stranger from now on......
"Don't look at me like that!" Emperor Yongqing roared.
He suddenly found that Xie Qing's eyes had a bit of Li Mu's charm. In Xie Qing, it seems that Li Mu's shadow can be seen.
No, he didn't want to see such a look!
He didn't do anything wrong! The wrong person is Li Mu! It's the first emperor!
"Xie Qing, I order you not to look at me like this!" Emperor Yongqing roared again.
Xie Qing smiled faintly, "Your Majesty is the king, Xie Qing is the minister, Your Majesty commands, Xie Qing naturally obeys." Since His Majesty didn't want to face Xie Qing's eyes, Xie Qing retreated. ”
When he said, Emperor Yongqing blessed his body, "The courtiers retired." ”
At the end, I couldn't help but add: "The Si people have passed away, this is the place where the souls of the dead return, and the courtiers think that Your Majesty should not stay for a long time." ”
Li Mu may not want to see him, since he is a stranger from now on, there is no need to see him.
"The courtiers withdrew." Xie Qing was blessed again, but just as she turned around......
Yikes!
The long sword stabbed straight at Xie Qing.
"Be careful, princess!" Lingzhi hurriedly pulled Xie Qing away.
However, after dodging this sword, the countless black-clothed people who followed, each armed with a sword, surrounded them.
Xie Qing's first reaction was to look at Emperor Yongqing, only to see Emperor Yongqing's brows furrowed and his face solemn.
Didn't you send it from Emperor Yongqing?
After thinking about it, if Emperor Yongqing wanted to kill her, he didn't have to show up here, just send someone to assassinate her. If he went out of the palace in person, just to kill her, it would be to tell everyone clearly that Xie Qing was killed by him.
Yunjin people are still in the northwest, and Emperor Yongqing killed her at this time, which did him no good.
So who are these assassins?
