When Xia Yuanlong heard this, the chopsticks in his hand couldn't help but tremble, and he smiled slightly: "Okay, good...... Good! Then I have no regrets! With that, he devoured it, very relieved.

As he put down the bowl, a ray of sunlight suddenly shone in front of him, and the warm light hit his clear face.

"Lord Ye, you come to see me off!" Yuan Long laughed a few times. It turned out that Ye Yongjia opened the cell door and walked over slowly.

"I'm today's prison officer," Ye Yongjia's mood was already flat at the moment, "I'm here to bring you out of prison and send Mr. on his last journey." ”

Xia Yuanlong straightened his sleeves, rubbed his face again, raised his neck and said, "Let's go." ”

Ye Yongjia waved his hand to the people behind him and waved with Xia Yuanlong: "I want to say a few more words to Mr. at the end, I don't know what I mean?" ”

"Yes." Xia Yuanlong readily agreed.

"Do you really think that if the academy continues like this, it can save the people?" Ye Yongjia's face was solemn, "Now that everything is over, you should open your heart." ”

Xia Yuanlong dusted off his clothes and said calmly: "Adults may not believe it when they say it, but Xia has never thought about this kind of problem. As long as you understand that it is the right direction, then you must rush forward and fight no matter what. As for success or not, the right time, place and people are indispensable, and no one can predict it. ”

"Think about it now."

Xia Yuanlong pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "I'm stupid, I still don't know." However, Lord Ye is so aggressive, is it right for me to admit that he Wei Huai surrendered? ”

Ye Yongjia smiled: "The younger generation never meant this. But I can't even see through the road under my feet, and I can't even tolerate the voice of doubt, so the academy will inevitably fail. ”

"You have said so much, and you have a lot of thoughts. But in the hands of adults, how can they be reformed? Xia Yuanlong seemed to be not to be outdone, and threw out a sharp rhetorical question.

"I am the minister of Beijing, and I can achieve good results from the inside out of the reform of the DPRK and the central government. As for the opposition, even if it can be resisted in every possible way, the flame will not have the overwhelming power it has now. ”

Xia Yuanlong laughed: "If this is something that can be solved internally, the world will probably be clear a long time ago." A court that has been sick for a long time should use external forces to push him, no matter whether he is at the end or alive; If you take root in it, you will be bound by the rotten rules, and you will be isolated forever. ”

Ye Yongjia was noncommittal, and only replied: "Just wait and see." ”

"It's a pity that I won't see that day," Xia Yuanlong shielded the dazzling sunlight with his hand, "I hope you can really take on the role of our successor." ”

"You still said the word 'we'." Ye Yongjia slowly stood up, turned his back, and the pawns on both sides had already approached.

"In the end, he still ushered in an era, albeit for a short time......," he said, closing his eyes and feeling his body being pushed out.

Boom!

The artillery fire rang out again, and out of the bustling crowd came two big men with big biao shapes, dressed in red, holding wide-mouth machetes, and walked up to the stage with a happy face, standing on both sides with straight stomachs.

Ye Yongjia was facing the back of the execution table, sitting on the Taishi chair, surrounded by a cadre of sergeants on both sides, and the secretary office was standing bent behind him.

"My lord, it's time to begin."

Ye Yongjia held the token and refused to give the order for a long time, when he heard the sound of the cannon, he had no chance to hesitate, so he gritted his teeth and threw it down.

"Three o'clock in the afternoon, execution!" The clerk picked up the token and shouted at the top of his throat.

I saw a criminal in the distance, and the soldiers removed the wooden shackles from his neck, opened the chains on his hands, and pushed him all the way to the stage.

"Xia Yuanlong, the crime of rebellion, boldness, ignoring the imperial constitution, hateful! Today in the city, to police Li Shu! The clerk held the document and read it aloud.

Xia Yuanlong walked up to the executioner, looked around at the people around him, all of them looked at him with a worried face, and no one dared to speak out.

He loved the quiet, walking freely on the stage, feeling the cool breeze, as if he had never enjoyed such freedom.

"Alright," he said, looking at his own reflection on the back of the knife, "let's do it." ”

"Daddy, Daddy, Daddy......"

At this moment there was a heart-rending cry from the crowd, and it was a child, stumbling through the thick crowd, trying to run up.

Xia Yuanlong turned around suddenly, rushed forward in panic, and held the child in his arms.

"Daddy......" the child gasped for breath and spoke intermittently, "you...... Why did you die...... You can't die...... I want you to come down and play with me......"

Xia Yuanlong's eyes were red, and he patted his son's head wordlessly, whispering to soothe.

"Daddy...... I'm dizzy, dizzy......"

"That's what you cried," he said with a wry smile, holding back his grief, "don't say it so ugly, what can't you die." ”

As he spoke, Yuan Long moved the child in front of him, pointed to the thousands of people in the audience and said, "Look, so many people come to see him as a father, it's very lively, right?" ”

"I don't care......," the child still cried.

"At such a young age, how can you know what death is? My life is gone, and my soul is still floating, and my soul is gone before I die. Xia Yuanlong grabbed his son's hand tightly, "You won't be able to see me in the future, but my soul can still accompany you." Don't worry, Dad won't leave, he'll always be by your side. ”

"That Uncle Wei Huai is very close to here, you can bother him if you have nothing to do, he wants to be at ease from now on, there is no such good thing! He was punished. Xia Yuanlong patted his head again and said with a smile, "Let's go, let's go!" ”

The child was taken down by the soldiers, Xia Yuanlong reluctantly let go of his son's hand, looking at the latter's back, such a strong person slowly shed tears.

He tried his best to stop clinging to anything, closed his eyes, and opened his arms again.

Boom!

The billowing smoke filled the execution ground, and I vaguely saw the big knife shining with silver light, and the knife fell and fell.

……

"It's over?" Cai Xianqing was packing his luggage for Ye Yongjia, who was newly promoted to the waiter, and saw him walking with his head down.

"It's over, Xia Yuanlong...... He's dead. Ye Yongjia's eyes widened, and he could recall that scene even as soon as he closed his eyes.

"Everything is new," Cai Xianqing sighed and reassured, "It's time for you to take on this important responsibility." ”

"Well," he swallowed, looking at the glow of the sky, "it's getting late, you go to the pavilion and inform the envoy, and leave immediately!" ”

Cai Xianqing went to call the envoy. Ye Yongjia felt that he was fine, and he urgently needed to relax, so he rode out of the city first, and saw that he was surrounded by water and the farmland was endless. He was reining in his horse when he heard a familiar voice coming from behind him.
