The bird flew away, leaving only the constantly shaking branches, which stirred Zhu Yunxi's heart and made him unable to calm down for a long time.

There are people in life who have to leave sooner or later, even those who are close to them.

Because life is finite, there is always someone who has to go first.

In that case, let it be!

Zhu Yunxi stood up and walked out of the palace, got into a carriage, and went straight to the palace.

He was going to see Wang Jinghong, and the gentle departure seemed to make him feel more.

He just wanted to spend more time with this old man.

There was a slight cough in the room, Wang Jinghong looked at Zhu Yunxi who walked in, barely squeezed out a smile, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Third Master, why are you here again?"

"I'm afraid you'll die."

Zhu Yunxi pretended to be relaxed and said.

"Hehe, how can the old king die so easily."

Wang Jinghong's eyes showed a trace of warmth, and he sighed and said: "It's just that ninety percent of one's cultivation has been wasted and he has become an ordinary person." ”

Zhu Yunxi stepped forward and sat in front of his bed, reached out to hold his thin hand, shook it and smiled: "Isn't this good, most people in this world are ordinary people, and it's really good to be an ordinary person safely." ”

Wang Jinghong understood this sentence and seemed to be deeply touched, and a happy smile bloomed on his face.

"Third master, help me open those curtains."

He pointed to the black curtains on the windows that hadn't been opened for years.

Zhu Yunxi stood up and opened the black curtains on the window with a bang.

The light outside the window suddenly illuminated this gloomy hut, and Wang Jinghong's face became more and more pale.

"I suddenly don't like the dark, I like it to be daytime all the time, to see the sun in the sky and the white clouds drifting by."

Wang Jinghong said with a smile, he looked out the window and muttered: "It's good, it's good!" ”

"Old Wang, I seriously doubt that you have won the champion before."

Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, he felt that Wang Jinghong's words just now were so full of philosophy, and he was especially meowing like a poet saying it.

"Champion?"

Wang Jinghong was stunned for a moment, laughed so much that he coughed again and again, and he arched his hand at Zhu Yunxi, "Third master, although the old Wang Tou has also read some books, he is far from the middle champion." ”

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand and said, "By the way, old Wang, how many days do you have to lie down before you can go to the ground?" Our Qinglou Academy has been open for a while, aren't you going to check it out? ”

"Of course I want to go."

Speaking of this topic, Wang Jinghong looked a little excited, a flush suddenly appeared on his pale cheeks, and he covered his mouth and coughed:

"When my body is better, I will go to live in the Qinglou Academy, but now I can no longer use the embroidery skills of a few stitches."

After saying this, he looked at his thin hands, and there was a trace of regret in his eyes.

"You live in Qinglou Academy?"

Zhu Yunxi exclaimed with some surprise: "Your Majesty, does he agree?" ”

Wang Jinghong nodded and said slowly:

"I'm old, and I no longer have the strength to serve Your Majesty, and Your Majesty has already agreed to my old age in Qinglou Academy."

Speaking of this, he sighed and said with a hint of emotion:

"Since then, there is no longer the name of my Wang Jinghong in this palace."

Zhu Yunxi was a little stunned for a while, he didn't expect Zhu Yuanzhang to agree to Wang Jinghong's request so easily.

This was really a bit of a surprise to him.

"According to Zhu Yuanzhang's character, even if he doesn't kill Wang Jinghong, he will at least be placed under house arrest in the palace!"

Zhu Yunxi thought silently in his heart.

Because as Zhu Yuanzhang's personal eunuch, Wang Jinghong knows too many things, which is not in line with Zhu Yuanzhang's character!

...... Zhu Yunxi's face unconsciously showed a trace of worry, he felt that if Wang Jinghong could stay in the palace all the time, it might be the safest.

If he really lives outside the palace, with Wang Jinghong's current physical state, it is estimated that he will die inexplicably in a short time.

Wang Jinghong looked at him and smiled, and asked with a hint of teasing:

"Is the third master wondering why His Majesty let me leave?"

Zhu Yunxi nodded without hesitation, he felt that he didn't need to deliberately disguise himself in front of Wang Jinghong.

"Actually, Your Majesty is a person who values love and righteousness, you don't have to worry about me."

Wang Jinghong said slowly: "Your Majesty has great expectations for you. ”

The words can only be said to this part, and Zhu Yunxi naturally understands the meaning.

He thought for a while and asked directly: "Old Wang, how did Liu Bowen die?" ”

Wang Jinghong was obviously stunned, as if he didn't expect Zhu Yunxi to ask this question directly.

Then he shook his head and said slowly:

Liu Ji was the first Cheng of Gao'an County, Jiangxi Province in the Yuan Dynasty, and later served as the provincial examiner of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Confucianism, and was twenty years old, responding to the sky with His Majesty, and then fighting in the south and the north, with outstanding achievements.

In the third year of Hongwu, he was awarded by His Majesty the founding of the country Yiyun Shou Zhengwen Chenzi Doctor, on the protection of the army, Feng Chengyibo, the second year, he was given to return to his hometown for the elderly,

In the eighth year of Hongwu, Liu Bowen was infected with wind and cold, and His Majesty ordered Hu Weiyong to take the imperial doctor to visit the patient, and then took the medicine stone prescribed by the imperial doctor, felt deeply unwell, and died soon after. ”

As a historian, Zhu Yunxi knows these things well, he stared at Wang Jinghong closely, and said in a somewhat dull voice:

"Old Wang, you know that's not what I'm asking."

Wang Jinghong nodded slightly and said, "I know what you want to ask, but I don't know." ”

"Even you don't know?"

Zhu Yunxi seemed to be a little surprised, lowered his head and muttered softly, but he heard Wang Jinghong laugh dryly twice, and said leisurely:

"Your Majesty knows that people in the world have a lot to talk about this, but they all laughed at it, but since the third master asked, I can tell you my personal opinion."

Zhu Yunxi suddenly raised his head and stared at Wang Jinghong, and said in a loud voice: "Let's hear it." ”

"I personally thought that Liu Bowen died at the hands of Hu Weiyong."

Wang Jinghong said word by word:

"Although Your Majesty is an emperor, but he was born in a reckless manner, he attaches great importance to the word righteousness, and he will definitely not kill meritorious ministers indiscriminately.

"That's how I see it."

Zhu Yunxi heard this, but he was a little disapproving.

He is a historian of later generations, and naturally knows that the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang is definitely not an emperor who puts love and righteousness first, because there has never been such an emperor in history.

The emperor only has interests and imperial power in his eyes, even if he is really a person who values love and righteousness, he will finally have no choice but to become an iron-blooded and ruthless emperor.

Wang Jinghong is not wrong to say so, maybe Zhu Yuanzhang is such an emperor in his heart, this is the limitation of the times, it doesn't matter whether it is right or wrong.

Thinking of this, he didn't continue the topic, but smiled at Wang Jinghong gently and said:

"Come to the academy when you're ready, even if you can't embroider, but look at those women who are more beautiful than flowers, you must be happy."

"Hehe, not only the beauty, but also the sunshine and white clouds."

Wang Jinghong's gaze passed through the pane, looking at the blue sky, and the corners of his mouth showed a smile that had not appeared for many years.

A smile from the heart!
