234. Unexpected Smoothness (1)
The city of Kyoto in front of her has long since lost the prosperity she remembers.
In the past, Kyoto City can be regarded as a first-class city among the five wildernesses and eight horses, and it can also be regarded as the most prosperous city in the entire Su and Qin Kingdom, with people coming and going, shops lined up, and you can hear the shouts of artists from time to time, and when people stand on the city gate and look down, they are all crowded heads, but now, they ...... As far as the eye can see, there are bleak images.
By the time Mu Ziqin, Luo Ge and their party arrived, the gate had already opened, and Su Ji's people had already entered the imperial city one step earlier, and the streets were empty except for a few warm pictures of family reunions. Even the most crowded theater garden, Li Garden, is now locked doors and windows. Occasionally, I saw a few people coming and going, all of whom looked hurried.
"The current Su Qianguo...... It's not what it used to be. Luo Ge sighed as he watched.
"It's common for things to be people, but such common things are inevitably too sad in the eyes of people." Mu Ziheng behind Luo Ge suddenly sighed.
Luo Ge turned his head to look at him, and there was a little sadness in his eyes. She turned her head and looked at Mu Ziqin. Mu Ziqin also happened to look back at him at this moment, but shook his head silently. For Mu Ziheng's emotions, they didn't dare to ask more.
A group of people came to the gate of the palace along Chang'an Avenue in the afternoon.
Luo Ge saw the crane waiting outside the palace gate from a distance. When he saw them, he raised his right hand and waved, but was knocked down by the man beside him. Luo Ge fixed his eyes - splendid. She looked at Mu Ziqin beside her in a little shock.
Mu Ziqin smiled and said, "You didn't expect it, right? Now this woman is the one who stands out from the top. ”
"When did it start?" Luo Ge wanted to know the beginning of this matter.
Mu Ziqin said with a smile: "Just after you went back, one day Su Ling suddenly found someone to arrest Jinxiu, but I didn't expect Heli to kill all the way into the palace and take her away." The two were together after that. Specifically, you can ask for yourself. ”
Luo Ge shook his head with a smile and said, "I don't want it." This kind of thing, it is enough to know here, and it is useless to know superfluously. ”
Looking at her relieved smile, Mu Ziqin knew that she was not such a gossipy person, and now she was relieved to see that a friend-like person had her own destiny and was not obsessed.
When their procession stopped in front of Dao Heli, they heard Heli say, "You are here?" ”
"Yes." Mu Ziqin smiled and nodded, "How is Prince Su's journey?" ”
"The crown prince pursued all the way to victory, and relying on the clues and information you provided, he successfully entered the palace today. Su Ling and Xia Shiren should have been controlled by now. As for Luo Yin, I'm still looking for it. ”
"What about the fine work of the Thousand Machine Pavilion?"
"The people of Qianji Pavilion are originally people who talk about money, and the prince has prepared enough conditions, so naturally they will not resist. Moreover, the prince promised them the freedom to choose whether to stay or leave. After a small half of them chose to stay, the rest left. ”
"The prince is not afraid of leaving a big trouble in the future?"
"The prince has his ideas, and according to the prince's ideas, it may be a better use to let them go. It's just concrete, how can someone with my identity know? ”
Mu Ziqin laughed, and then said, "I didn't expect the conceited Heli to say such a thing at this moment?" ”
He generously admitted, "If I hadn't experienced that incident, I think I would still be so conceited today." He Li said as he hugged the brocade beside him in his arms. But unexpectedly, Jinxiu slapped his hand with a twist. But he was a person who would let go so easily, and his grip tightened.
Looking at the affectionate appearance of the two, Luo Ge smiled and said, "Since this is the case, is it safe for us to enter the palace now?" ”
Heli's smile suddenly froze, and his expression was a little complicated,
Seeing that he didn't speak, Luo Ge took the initiative to break the silence and said: "The palace must be a mess, and there is a river of blood. But why do you have the same expression? ”
"There was no blood in the palace, it was a mess, but everything went too well." He Li said with a frown.
"Isn't it good to go well?" Mu Ziheng asked.
"Where's the good going?" Mu Ziqin retorted, "According to Su Ling's character, it is impossible to give in so easily. Moreover, his character does not allow him to admit defeat. It's too quick to throw in the towel. So it will feel too smooth. ”
"Nope." On the contrary, it was Luo Ge who broke their suspicions. She said solemnly, "Maybe you don't know, but I know. After all, the past three years have not been for nothing, although now I am no longer me. ”
"Then you say." Mu Ziqin said.
"Su Ling has been a proud person since he was a child, but he is also a person who does not allow himself to lose face. When he was exposed in front of everyone, he used the fastest way to gather all the people who didn't know the situation in Kyoto City. But there is no such thing as an impermeable wall, and there must have been news in Kyoto City recently. Venture to guess that there may already be news in the palace now. But the palace people didn't dare to speak out. But when Su's rebels entered the palace, it meant that the life of fear was coming to an end. When everyone's hearts are not for him and he loses people's hearts, he will naturally choose to give up. After all, he still wants to have the dignity of an emperor. ”
In the face of Luo Ge's reasoning, although Mu Ziqin felt very uncomfortable, he still agreed with her statement.
"Then you think everything is normal now?" He Li asked rhetorically.
"Yes. But I hope Su Ji can control Su Ling, otherwise what you and I see may be a corpse. After Luo Ge finished speaking, he rode forward.
When they saw her, they followed.
Luo Ge's guess was right. Because when Su Ling first arrived at the Qianyuan Palace, Su Ling was planning to kill himself.
"What are you doing!" Su Yu raised his hand and shot the sleeve arrow in his sleeve and knocked out the sword in Su Ling's hand.
Su Ling looked at Su Ji who suddenly broke in, and said with a shocked face: "Don't you know what I'm doing!" You have successfully entered the palace of Su Qianguo, and you have successfully let everyone know that I am a waste. What do you want me to do, lewd tyrant? ”
"Why didn't you even resist?" Su Ji didn't understand.
"What am I going to rebel against?" Su Ling no longer used the attitude of an emperor to talk to Su Ji.
"What about the pride of your generation of emperors?" Su Ji asked rhetorically.
"You also know that I am a generation of emperors, so why do you want to raise troops? Then why do you have to overthrow my rule? ”
Faced with this question, Su Ji smiled sarcastically and asked, "Don't you know what you did wrong?" Or do you never feel that you have done anything wrong in this position of emperor? ”
"Since you all said the position of the emperor, then how could I be wrong?"
"Then you don't know what kind of emperor you are in the eyes of the people, right?"
"What is it?"
"Wild. Excessive, violent, and unreasonable. ”
"Is this enough for you to raise troops and push your father's heart's wand?" Su Ling scolded loudly.
"Then are you worthy of your father?" Su Ji asked rhetorically, "See for yourself what the current Su Qianguo has become, the people are displaced, and the countries accept the displaced people, but what about you?" You're still thinking about how to keep your crimes from the public. If you do something wrong, you do it wrong, but you don't understand why you don't recognize your mistakes, but you keep concealing them, and finally they get worse. Do you think there is really something in this world that no one else knows? Or do you think you can ever sit on this throne. ”
"Isn't it sitting on the throne forever? I also want to fulfill my father's wish for him - to unify the five wilderness and eight horses. ”
"Since you know that your father still has an unfulfilled wish, why did you kill him? Killing your father and brother, murdering your own brother, do you think you did everything right? ”
"I'm all here to better unify the five wildernesses, so everyone who stands in my way must die."
"What about my sister? What about the woman you love! Do you feel like she's in your way! ”
Su Yu's father almost roared out of this sentence, and Su Ling looked at him in a daze after hearing it. Su Ling knew who he was talking about. The one is called Xia Tianqing, the person he has been looking for.
"What? Speechless? Or am I right? Xia Tianqing, the first talented daughter of Su Qianguo, my half-sister. The one who loves you with all his heart and helps you get the throne. What do you do to her? concealed the truth about her mother's death, didn't tell her that she killed her father concisely, and finally tricked her to Lingshan Temple with false news, and stabbed her to death with a sword when the right time came. That's how you treat her? The sincerity she paid for you can only be exchanged for your treatment? ”
"Nope." Su Ling shook her head sadly, "I didn't think about killing her. Everything is your father's fault, and it's Xia Shiren's fault. At the time, I just wanted not to tell her the truth about her birth mother, so I made up the Codex for her to find out. But she didn't expect that she actually deduced the truth about Mrs. Luo Yue's death through the codex, so ...... When she found the mountain behind Lin San Temple, I thought about letting her dispel her thoughts, but what I didn't expect was ...... She actually ...... And rushed to my sword......"
"Rushed to your sword?" At this time, Luo Ge, who came in a hurry, heard his words, and his heart was bitter.
Looking at Luo Ge, who suddenly appeared in front of him, Su Ling was speechless for a while.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Luo Ge continued to ask: "Then you tell me, do you think Xia Tianqing hit your sword and died unintentionally?" And not because of your murderous intentions? Didn't she be killed by you and your first loyalist! ”
In the face of Luo Ge's questioning, Su Ling couldn't answer a single question, his mouth opened slightly, but he couldn't say half a word.
Luo Ge continued to ask, "You think that everything you do will not be known to anyone?" Do you think that what happened behind Lin San Temple will be hidden in the back mountain forever! ”
