The father and son, one with their back to the Jin Kingdom and the other facing Yanran Lake, walked on this vast and magnificent grassland that gave birth to countless creatures.

The sky is blue, the clouds are white clouds, the scenery here is not special, but to be able to walk outside side by side so leisurely is the first time in this life for this father and son.

Even if he is sad, it is always good to have someone to comfort and comfort him, not to mention that this person is still his only close relative, which made Chen Jing's heavy mood that he had held back for so many days rest a little, and after walking two steps, he suddenly raised his head, frowned slightly, and asked with some doubts: "It's just father, why are you here?"

Chen Jing didn't understand why the other party was at this time, and was waiting for him here, although he had indeed sent someone to the Jin State to summon the news, so that the people over there were ready to respond, in case they were caught up by the people of the Liang State, because the reinforcements did not come in time, resulting in their total annihilation, but the first news will not reach the capital soon, after all, now in the Jin court, the only person in power is him, who will these words be sent back to, is it difficult to let the little emperor who has not grown up come to the idea?

The news of the defeat on the front line cannot be spread too quickly, let alone let everyone know, otherwise it will be very troublesome once it causes widespread panic among the people, so if Chen Xiehu is in the capital, it is unlikely that he will know about it, besides, even if the news is passed by, unless he is a starry night and has been rushing here, it will never be possible to arrive so quickly.

As soon as he said this, Chen Xiehu's eyes also became very complicated, he secretly thought about it for a while, sighed in a low voice, and then raised his head and told the truth: "Jing'er, this matter, my father actually knew about it earlier than you, and it was not until that time that my father understood that we were not wronged when we lost." ”

After that, he told Chen Jing everything that happened in the capital of the Jin Kingdom a few days ago, including how the emaciated young man who claimed to be from the Liang Kingdom walked into the Gyeonggi capital of their Jin Kingdom in a grand manner, and then swaggered into the palace that symbolized the supreme imperial power of a country.

This person turned against the guest in an instant, and gathered a group of people in the hinterland of their Jin Kingdom with air conditioning to control the entire capital, not to mention, the means were even more ruthless, openly and secretly, all those who wanted to resist him were either detained, put in prison, or directly beheaded, including the current saint, that is, the little emperor, etc., all controlled, talking and doing things, as if they had become the new master of their Jin Kingdom, and then they deliberately ran to their Chen Mansion to inform themselves to pick up their son.

In fact, Chen Xiehu himself also understood in his heart that the reason why the other party was able to take down their Jin Kingdom so smoothly was really because the Jin Kingdom was too empty, just like an old man in his last years, in fact, judging from the appearance alone, it was almost the same as the other party's shape-shaped appearance, they all fell down as soon as the wind blew, no wonder no one dared to stand up and resist, it was really no longer that ability.

Moreover, the absolute loyalty of these courtiers to the king was completely shattered, and the person who was willing to repay the king and the country with death was not Chen Jing himself?

Chen Jing's heart stirred when he heard this, and his mind seemed to be a group of people wielding hammers and smashing them everywhere, making a lot of noise, and he didn't know what to say at all.

Because according to the time that Chen Xiehu said, the other party can only be that when his side has just been defeated, and even before the Liangzhou Armageddon has been fully launched, the person has already arrived in the Jin Kingdom, in other words, this person is so confident that a battle with a huge disparity on the surface has not officially started, and he dares to be sure that the two countries of Wei and Jin, as the strong side, will be defeated, so he can calmly do these things later.

What kind of person is this, or should such a person really exist in the world, he does not deny the defeat, but he would rather believe that this situation is the result of the brainstorming of the brainstorms of the Liang Kingdom, and he will never be

It can be believed that this is the hand of one person, because then this person is not a human being, but a pair of divine hands that can manipulate the fate of all beings.

Chen Jing only felt dizzy for a while, and after he came to his senses a little, he hurriedly asked, "What about the others?"

Seeing that Chen Xiehu's whole expression became extremely serious, he shook his head and said in a deep voice, "He's dead." ”

"Dead?"

Chen Jing's eyes widened suddenly, and he couldn't even close his mouth in shock, because he didn't understand, how could a person like this die, and who could kill him?

"Someone killed him?"

I saw Chen Xiehu gently shake his head again, sighed, and said, "He has a terminal illness, and when he came to my Jin Kingdom, he was already dying, and finally died." ”

When Chen Jing heard this, the whole person was stunned for a moment, and after a few breaths, he slowly withdrew his curious gaze, his face became very complicated and indescribable, as if he couldn't believe everything he had just heard.

"That's it, dead?"

After he whispered a few words, he raised his head again and asked Chen Xiehu about another thing, "What did he say to you?"

Chen Xiehu subconsciously pursed his lips, he looked at Chen Jing, and said slowly: "He told his father, as long as you can do your best to assist a person, you can keep the people of my Jin Kingdom safe, and you can also protect the safety of my Jin Kingdom royal family, although there will be no Jin Kingdom from now on, but they can also be a rich and honest family, food and clothing are not worried, and the two states of my Jin Kingdom will be used as the reform place of the new deal in the future, and all the benefits of the future, the people of my Jin Kingdom can be the first to enjoy, all this, you only need to nod, to be honest, for the father is to believe"

This is indeed a very good proposal, because this not only keeps their cherished Jin Kingdom from another direction, but also does not have to produce superfluous killings, and the most important thing is that they have also done what they want to do from another angle, and Chen Jing's future will definitely not be bad.

"No way!"

It's a pity that before the other party finished speaking, Chen Jing categorically refused, and he didn't even want to care about what the other party's "new deal" referred to.

"I've done that kind of thing, how can I serve the second master again?"

Thinking that at the beginning, it was himself who took the lead in attacking the palace and seizing power in a coup d'état, so he had the obligation and responsibility to bear all the consequences of the future, including the current demon of the remnants of the Cai Party, as well as the revenge that the Shangguan clan would definitely take later, and even the malicious evaluation of future generations, he had to bear it, because the road was chosen by himself, and no one forced him.

If he can't do this, then it is better to leave the ignorant and incompetent old emperor and the ministers who only know the art of monopoly power alone, and leave them to clean up the mess they have created, and give them all the responsibilities and all the benefits they have earned, but since he took the initiative to take it later, it is impossible to only take the benefits without taking responsibility, there is no such good thing in the world.

Once many things are explained, outsiders may sound strange, but the morality that everyone has to adhere to and abide by is different, and there are thousands of hurdles in the world, but this heart is the most sad, because you can deceive anyone, but people can't deceive themselves, and he, Chen Jing, can't pass his own heart.

Seeing that his attitude was so resolute, Chen Xiehu looked at his gorgeous hair and wrinkles that had grown at a young age, and couldn't help but say in a pleading tone: "Child, the general trend is the trend, and one person can't change anything. ”

Chen Jing raised his head and looked at the flamboyant momentum of the Jin State Grand Sima in front of him, who had lost the military power of the world in the past, and was more like a father of an ordinary person who cherished his children, smiled helplessly, and sighed: "Yes, I understand this, the general trend is the trend, and I am willing to admit defeat, but I really can't do what you say." ”

Seeing this, Chen Xiehu eagerly enlightened him: "You."

Why bother? In fact, the Jin Kingdom has already died! The fight has already died back then! The entire Jin Kingdom is rotten to the bone, and this is what you said to me personally, child, there is no need, there is really no need. ”

Chen Xiehu is a child of a family, the starting point is not low, he has been an official in the court for decades, the sea has been ups and downs, where do you not know what kind of virtue this Jin country is, for the Jin country, in fact, he has long been desperate, but because of the word loyalty, plus being in it, it is not dirty, and it is also considered to be the same stream, so he can't do anything.

This is also why he has no intention of stopping what Chen Jing has done.

Why should he stop it, all he can do is only two non-helps, after all, he doesn't understand, Cai Jing wants to kill him and then the idea of monopolizing power is not a day or two, according to the confused style of the old emperor of the Jin Kingdom, it is only a matter of time before something happens to himself, and it is good to be able to become like this.

It is also these days of thinking behind closed doors, so that he understands something, what can really represent a country is often not the small group of people above, but a large number of people below, and now the people of the Jin Kingdom can have a better choice, so what do they insist on?

Many things are really not important once they reach his age, in the years of being deliberately suppressed, he has already seen through it, the foundation of the Jin Kingdom is rotten, although he feels very uncomfortable about the defeat of the front line and the fact that the Jin Kingdom is no longer there, but in fact, he does not have too much dissatisfaction, let alone go into battle with a knife and shed the last drop of blood for the Jin Kingdom, because he has no sense of belonging to the Shangguan family, he just cares about the tens of millions of people in the Jin Kingdom and a group of old people who have worked hard with him for many years.

And he also knew that unless his son wanted to replace him, the Chen family would definitely be liquidated by the Shangguan clan in the future, and now it was like this, wouldn't it be good?

Chen Jing's smile was very bitter, and he said softly: "Father, you know, I used to do gambling houses, and I forcibly took a deck of cards from their hands, so whether I win or lose, I should be responsible for this result, this is the reason, the reason in my heart, can you understand me?"

Chen Xiehu was stunned for a moment, because he couldn't refute it, his expression changed several times, and then he said helplessly: "Child, it's not your fault, but why do you want to carry everything on your own shoulders?"

Chen Jing said: "This is the path I chose myself, no one forced me, since I chose it myself, then even if I kneel, I should finish it, if I turn against me like this, what about those who once believed in me?

Chen Xiehu said: "If you don't have two masters, you won't have two masters, what you said also has some truth, then let's go home directly." ”

Chen Jing turned his head and looked at Yanran Lake, where the clouds were reflected in the sky in the distance, and the lake surface was as smooth as a mirror, his mood was relieved all of a sudden, and the whole person's state felt a lot more relaxed, but the words on his lips made Chen Xiehu nervous all of a sudden.

"So many people haven't been able to go home because of me, how can I go home?"

The huge sense of guilt, pain, and confusion brought about after the defeat has actually broken him down a long time ago, and the reason why he didn't fall down is because he knows that he can't fall yet, he can't pull someone to force him to the gambling table, and after losing a bottom, he pats his ass and leaves like a nobody, he has to be responsible!

It was with this spirit that he survived, but now he suddenly knew that the Jin Kingdom no longer needed him to be responsible, so he had to be responsible to those who once believed in him.

So many people have died because of him, and now that the Jin Kingdom is dead, can he still live, does he still deserve to live?

Hearing this, a strong sense of uneasiness suddenly surged into Chen Xiehu's heart, and he eagerly said: "What are you going to do? Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your father! I'm just your son!"
