The worldly glitz, sometimes extremely eager for a simple and wanton life, but can not withstand the disturbances and entanglements of the world. obviously wants to save a period of leaky fingers, but he can't hold his fingers together forever and hold his life.

There is really too much helplessness in the red dust, if the princes and nobles can't do everything, let alone ordinary people?

Or perhaps, it is precisely because the princes and princes are unspeakably noble that they will face more involuntary self-determination?

When he came out of the Jingyi Palace, Nie Peixiao was very confused. He admits that he has begun to miss the high-spirited, youthful and frivolous years of the past—without any concern, only with the rhythm of music.

can miss and miss, the road of reality is still at his feet, and there are still people urging him to keep moving forward and never stop.

Looking up at the sky, the sunset was molten gold, and the twilight was heavy. In five hours, Shen Yu and Izuku will be escorted to the execution ground and sentenced to death.

And Nie Peixiao has now pinned all his hopes on King Jingyi.

Asking King Jingyi to come forward to say that it was the best thing he could think of;

If even this person can't persuade his imperial brother Emperor Tianzhu, then he has another plan.

Of course, he hoped that this strategy would never come in handy.

The royal horse galloped back to King Cheng's mansion, and Nie Peixiao knew that all he could do now was wait.

Princess Xie Peili knew how to be proportionate, and did not ask too much about his whereabouts, but only prepared a sumptuous dinner, during which the two were silent. After a few hasty sips, Nie Peixiao got up and went to the study to wait for news.

And so on, it was late at night.

Finally, when someone came to Yingyuan Palace, the word was that the Emperor of Heaven let him enter the palace to discuss matters.

*****

The holy study was brightly lit, and it looked quiet and eerie. In the entire huge room, only the Emperor of Heaven was alone, and he was in deep thought in front of the imperial case.

Rao is so far away, Nie Peixiao still saw the dense bloodshot in the emperor's phoenix eyes, which shows that he is also very tormented tonight, and he is thinking about it in every way.

Nie Peixiao pressed down her emotions, and was ready to be angered by the Heavenly Emperor, knelt down and saluted: "The younger brother has seen the imperial brother, and I hope the imperial brother will be guilty." ”

"You also know that I will condemn you? Know how dare you do that? The emperor's condensed voice came faintly, incompatible with the room full of books and ink.

"There are some things that you know you can't do, but you have to do them." Nie Peixiao only had this sentence, he knew that in fact, the imperial brother understood him.

Isn't the emperor's heart like a mirror? However, he saw a trace of desolation and tragedy on Nie Peixiao's face.

Where did the chic, wanton, and dissolute ninth brother go? Now you are forced to look like this?

And he, who is the emperor's brother, can be regarded as the culprit.

Thinking of this, Emperor Tianzhu's heart suddenly softened a little, and the guilt for Nie Peixiao suddenly appeared, and then swept through the whole body violently: "Flat." If you want to save people, you can say to me directly, why bother to beat around the bush and defeat King Jingyi? ”

Nie Peixiao was silent for a moment when she heard this, and then slowly got up and replied: "Because my brother knows that if you can't persuade you, it will only increase the suspicion between you and my brother." ”

In a word, the Emperor of Heaven was speechless. Indeed, if there is no King Jingyi to fight tonight, even if Nie Peixiao comes, it will definitely be in vain.

Emperor Tianzhu looked at the two objects on the imperial case and did not speak again.

In front of the emperor, one was a parchment map, and the other was a decree that had just been prepared. He picked up the Daoming yellow silk silk from the case, waved it to Nie Peixiao, and said in a deep voice: "I am as you wish." ”

Nie Peixiao took the holy decree, immediately opened it and glanced at it, and when she saw the four words "degraded to a commoner", she frowned unconsciously: "This will is not appropriate." ”

"What's wrong?" The Heavenly Emperor Phoenix's eyes were slightly raised, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle falcon.

"It's really inappropriate for you to demote Shen Yu to a commoner." Nie Peixiao replied bluntly: "Shen Yu is a rare general, you should know better than me what his achievements are during these years of battlefield experience." In that case, why not reuse him? ”

"Reuse?" Emperor Tianzhu sneered: "I will use him again, let him repeatedly resist the will and disobey my will?" ”

"You know he won't." Nie Peixiao replied very calmly: "This time he walked before the ghost gate closed, and he will definitely not be in the future." ”

"Besides," Nie Peixiao paused, his expression crossed a trace of gloom, "Besides, with Izuxiu by his side, there is no one worthy of him to resist anymore, and Izumi will persuade him." ”

"You can see it thoroughly. Decided to let it go? The emperor suddenly changed the subject and asked about this emotional matter.

Obviously, this question made King Tangcheng even more frustrated, and Junmu lowered his eyes and sighed: "What if you don't let go?" The two of them were determined to live and die together, and I was already an outsider. ”

In fact, he never walked in the whole time, and he was just a bystander. It's just that he's too conceited and thinks he's an insider.

Now I suddenly woke up to the fact that I was never in this situation, everything was cocooned and self-obsessed, nothing more.

Nie Peixiao laughed self-deprecatingly, and looked at the holy decree in his hand again, this time, he found that the decree was not stamped with the imperial seal in the end, which showed that there was still room for negotiation.

Seeing this, Nie Peixiao took a deep breath, and then said to Emperor Tianzhu: "Do you know that when the younger brother went to the Jingyi Palace, what happened?" ”

Emperor Tianzhu sat on the dragon chair and waited for the following.

"The younger brother was in the Jingyi Palace, and saw the joint letter of the generals of the Northland, and begged him to come forward to protect Shen Yu's life." Nie Peixiao hooked her lips and smiled, and then said, "Actually, a few days ago, they also came to me for help. ”

"What do you want to say?" Emperor Tianzhu's face suddenly sank, and his words began to become gloomy again.

"The younger brother wants to say that Shen Yu has a very high prestige in the north and is quite loved by the military and the people. It's a pity to abandon such a good talent for the sake of your unhappiness. Nie Peixiao persuaded: "For the way of the king, know how to make good use of people." Brother dare to say, you have always done well in the past, but it is a pity that after the reunification of the north and the south, you have regressed. ”

Nie Peixiao's last sentence was exactly the same as what Wang Chenlang said in Jingyi, and the Emperor of Heaven listened to it, and his mind became more and more depressed.

Yes, since the peaceful reunification of the north and the south, he has become more and more cautious as an emperor. In the past, only the four states of Nanxi were considered, but now there are five more states in the northland, which is really a headache for him.

Emperor Tianzhu finally found that he was born in the army, and he was only suitable for being a king in troubled times, not for governing the country. Therefore, he made many mistakes and was criticized in just one or two years after the surrender of Beixuan.

He also admits that this half of the country came too easily, and he failed to carefully understand the customs of the people, let alone treat the north and the south equally.

Is it because you have a heart for the Northland? Or are the people of the North repulsed by reunification?

I have been a king for too long, and now I am the only one who is in a real high place.

Emperor Tianzhu stepped down from the Dan Qi with his hands in his hands, slowly walked in front of Nie Peixiao, and asked him, "Since you don't agree with this will, why don't you tell me how I should arrange Shen Yu?" ”

"If you really don't like him, let him go to the north to guard the border." Speaking of this, Nie Peixiao suddenly knelt down and asked, "Brother Chen, I implore you to be the king of Shen Yu." ”

"What did you say?" Emperor Tianzhu changed color when he heard this, and his face was full of incredulity: "Feng Wang? ”

"Hmm." Nie Peixiao said again: "King Feng, since he is quite respected in the Northland, you can let him govern the five states in the Northland and share your worries." ”

"You'll have an idea." Emperor Tianzhu immediately vetoed: "If the king splits the earth, he will be the next minister"

As we all know, Chen Xuan used to be the son of the king of Beixi Town, and Chen was also the only prince with a different surname in Beixi. They guarded the place where the north and the south met for a long time, and they had military power, and finally supported the army to stand on their own, overthrew the Beixi rivers and mountains, and established the country and the north of the country.

With this experience, Emperor Tianzhu naturally would not easily promise to be the king of Shen Yu.

"The north and the south have just been reunified, and if he is crowned king, wouldn't it be no different from splitting? I am giving away the five states of the Northland" Emperor Tianzhu's tone became more and more solemn, and finally he couldn't help but be angry: "Once he is crowned king, it will form a situation of vassal kings in the future." ”

"Shen Yu will definitely not." Nie Peixiao categorically denied: "What his temperament is, whether he has a desire for power, the younger brother is clear. Moreover...... He has a Xiu to accompany him, one is rigid and the other is soft, and Xiu will not let him go on this road. ”

"You say it nicely" Emperor Tianzhu sneered and sarcastically: "If he really embarks on the road of vassal kings, it will be too late"

"How will it be in the future. The subordinate brother only guarantees Shen Yu himself, and his descendant and subordinate brother do not ask. Nie Peixiao said simply: "With your ability and resourcefulness, there must be a way to restrain him, and he will not be allowed to support his troops and become the second minister." ”

Hearing this, Emperor Tianzhu still refused to let go: "I don't know that you are so generous to your rival in love, not to mention saving his life, but still asking for a seal for him?" ”

Nie Peixiao ignored the cynicism in his words, pondered for a moment and replied seriously: "If Izumi likes me, I will definitely treat me as a concubine, and now that she has chosen Shen Yu, I hope that her future identity will not be wronged." ”

He sincerely raised his eyes to look at the Heavenly Emperor, and continued: "Shen Yu has been my friend for many years, so it is natural for him to be sealed. Since the people of the Northland are unstable, it is better for you to send him than to find someone else. ”

In fact, Nie Peixiao still has a concern that has not been spoken-the whole world is not the king's land, if Shen Yu is really demoted to a commoner, where will he go? Emperor Tianzhu is the most uncertain, maybe one day he will be suspicious again, and quietly kill Shen Yu again.

Since you must live under the control of the emperor, if you are in a high position above board, it can make the emperor jealous and dare not act rashly.

Being in the position of the Emperor of Heaven and openly punishing people is much more difficult than plotting......

At the same time that Nie Peixiao was thinking about himself, the Heavenly Emperor also had another plan-

After the reunification of the north and the south, someone will always lead troops to garrison the north, not Shen Yu, but someone else. At that time, it will be even more difficult to guarantee whether there will be a situation of "feudal kings".

At least Shen Yu is not very sensitive to his career, and now he seems to have no ambitions; Chuxiu is a person with brains, if she is willing to remind her, Shen Yu should be in peace.

As for the qualifications of his children and grandchildren after a hundred years, they are not at their own disposal?

Moreover, Mrs. Xie of the Yun clan is old and does not live long; Yun Cheng is fledgling and not to be feared; Zhuang Yiran is the queen's sister again, and she is "her own person...... If Izuku is willing to follow Shen Yu to the Northland, the Yun family will have one less feared housewife, and he can temporarily rest assured of the Yun family.

With such an analysis, letting Shen Yufeng go to the Northland, it is indeed a matter of killing one fell swoop - winning the hearts of the people in the Northland, relieving the worries of the Yun family, there will be no disaster of the vassal king in decades, and it can also make Shen Yu grateful to Dade......

Thinking about it, Emperor Tianzhu began to pace unconsciously, hesitated for a moment and then asked Nie Peixiao: "If I don't agree to be the king of Shen Yu, what will happen to you?" ”

"That subordinate brother had no choice but to follow King Jingyi's example, and he didn't care about the world in the mansion."

"Are you threatening me?" The Heavenly Emperor Phoenix's eyes narrowed slightly, and the meaning of danger was fully displayed on his face, and it was even more set off with a peerless face with a bewitching charm.

"It's not a threat, it's a disappointment." Nie Peixiao sighed very frankly.

Disappointed? The emperor's eyebrows furrowed fiercely: "Are you disappointed in me? ”

"Since the death of the queen mother, it is impossible for the younger brother not to be disappointed in you." Nie Peixiao finally said what she said from the bottom of her heart, and sighed: "But 'disappointment' does not mean 'despair', you are still my seventh brother after all." ”

I was disappointed because I had hopes. As long as you don't despair, you have a chance to rekindle hope.

Emperor Tianzhu instantly realized that he, the ninth brother, was gambling with brotherhood and righteousness, planning a future for Shen Yu and Izuxiu. If he doesn't agree, the ninth brother will be alienated from him forever.

It's a pity that the heavenly family should be ruthless, and the emperor should be unintentional, but he is so greedy, not only want to be powerful, but also want human warmth.

Who is to blame? It's only to blame the sky for turning clouds and rain, and creating and making people.

Emperor Tianzhu turned around and walked back onto the Danqi, took the Ming Huang silk silk, and quickly wrote another holy decree. Then, he personally took the imperial seal and put it on the sunken cover, and said to Nie Peixiao: "Let Cen Jiang go to the Gyeonggi Prison first, and order him to go down and postpone the execution." After this morning, go and proclaim the decree yourself. ”

Nie Peixiao took the will and read it carefully, her heart suddenly relaxed, and she finally showed a comforting smile: "Thank you, brother Huang." ”

Emperor Tianzhu seemed to be extremely tired, and waved his hand at Nie Peixiao: "Go down, I will rest for a while." ”

"Brother quit." Nie Peixiao grabbed the bright yellow silk silk in her hand and retreated silently.

"The Priest." Just as he walked to the door of the holy study, the voice of the Heavenly Emperor suddenly sounded faintly: "Forgive me." ”

Three words, but Nie Peixiao's eyes were hot. Today, the emperor is finally willing to admit what he has done, and this belated apology, he has finally waited.

Nie Peixiao paused and turned around, looked at the tall figure above the Danqi from afar, and replied abruptly: "I treat you as the seventh brother, not the imperial brother." ”

After speaking, he turned around again and pushed the door out.

Outside the window, the night has gradually faded into the sky, and it is the last moment of day and night. This dawn has come at a very good time, and it is full of hope.

It's time to leave for Yanlan City, whether you're in Xiu or not in the future, it's always his fiefdom, and there are memories of her.

I'm finally living up to your trust.

What if you're not in the game? He still managed to pull a game back.

Straight lovesickness is useless, and melancholy is madness.
