Chapter 2
Song Zhi looked at Xiao Musheng condescendingly.
In the past, he thought that he was dignified and unshakable, but now he feels that he is extremely small.
He couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Prime Minister Xiao, this is the first time I have found out, and it turns out that you are just like this......"
As he spoke, he flipped over the palm of his right hand, as if to hold the whole world in his hand.
Obviously, he is the emperor and the master of the world!
But this Xiao Musheng, relying on the power in his hands and the credit for supporting him to the throne at the beginning, did not take him seriously at all.
Thinking like this, he suddenly smiled and said, "For the sake of supporting me to ascend to the throne in the first place, I will give you a chance to explain your last words. β
"The minister wants to know, when did the emperor start to plot against the people around me, this action, I think it took a lot of time."
"I am the lord of the Jing Dynasty, and on the first day I ascended the throne, I knew that in this world, I and you can only live one."
At this, he paused for a few seconds, as if something suddenly occurred to him.
He said: "Speaking of which, today's events are thanks to Xiao Qing for you digging your own grave, if you didn't insist on opening up the trading market with the four major tribes and insisting on reform, those people of the noble family would not have abandoned the dark and turned to the light so quickly, and what is even more ironic is that you regard Fang Tong as a cronie, but you don't know that he is also a son of a family." β
"Your so-called bazaar, your so-called reform, is in the way of an unknown number of people, and they all want your life. Xiao Musheng, this eagle has been raised for a thousand days, but the feeling of being pecked by the eagle is okay? β
Hearing this, Xiao Musheng was stunned for a few seconds, and then couldn't help laughing.
He bowed and saluted, and said: "I have known the emperor for many years, and this is the first time that the minister has admired you. β
He should have thought that with Song Zhi's own strategy, it was not easy to be willing to lie dormant for so long, how could he have the ability to rebel against the people around him?
But if he relied on the nobles of the major families who had enemies with him, it would be reasonable.
It's just that......
Song Zhi, Song Zhi, how can you be sure that you will not be the one who raised eagles?
At this point, Song Zhi couldn't help but be annoyed when he heard Xiao Musheng's meaningful words.
Afraid of change, he hurriedly said: "Prime Minister Xiao, go all the way!" β
After the words fell, he raised his right hand, and the Kyoto guards who were ambushed on both sides pulled the bowstring full, and with the movement of Song Zhi putting his right hand, several arrows were fired in unison......
Looking at the arrows shooting in his direction, Xiao Musheng was not surprised.
It is a pity that the reform is only half carried out......
He raised his hand and stroked the cloak he was wearing, and although he had no regrets in his heart, he was full of regret: If I had known that I would die today, I would have gone to see you!
All the past appeared before his eyes, and he suddenly realized that since he didn't know when, there was no one around him who could speak.
His relatives, close friends, wife and children are all gone from him, and perhaps, when he dies, there will not even be anyone to collect his body!
"Whew-"
As the sound of the arrow piercing his body sounded, he fell to the ground, blood seemed to be flowing all over the ground, and suddenly, he felt a cold on his face.
It turned out to be snowing!
This year's snow came really late.
The snow fell on his face, and gradually, no more......
Pei Gonggong saw Xiao Musheng fall to the ground, and without waiting for Song Zhi to speak, he ran down the city tower, he walked in front of Xiao Musheng, squatted down, raised his hand to probe his nose, and after making sure that he was silent, he almost fell, and then hurriedly stabilized his emotions, trembled his body, and ran back behind Song Zhi.
He lowered his head, his expression was complicated, and he tried his best to hide the tremor of his voice, and said, "Your Majesty, the criminal has been punished. β
Song Zhi never felt that there was a moment when he would be so at ease as he is now, but looking at Xiao Musheng's corpse and thinking of what he had just said, it was still difficult to calm down in his heart, and he always felt empty.
He pretended to be calm and said: "Xiao Musheng led his troops into the palace, intending to rebel, and had close contacts with the four major tribes, which is equivalent to treason, and now the criminal has been ambushed, and his body is hung at the city gate to warn ......the world."
According to later records:
In the spring of the forty-ninth year of Fenghe, Emperor Wen collapsed, passed on the throne to seven sons, and the new emperor ascended the throne.
The prime minister has been in office for three years, and has passed through four cities, and has changed the map.
Later, Emperor Jian'an said that he was ill, and the prime minister led troops into the palace, conspired against him, and ambushed him with several arrows!
β¦β¦
Cold!
It's cold......
Xiao Musheng regained consciousness a little, and then he felt the cold sweeping through his body, making him subconsciously curl up his body.
In a daze, he saw a familiar figure running towards him.
The familiar voice also sounded in his ears: "Xiao Musheng, hold on, I'm here to save you......"
He wanted to open his eyes, but found that his eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and the regrets of his life also came one after another at this time-
"Xiao Musheng, how many more people do you have to hurt for the sake of your rights?" The voice of a familiar friend was faintly heard.
There was a soft-spoken female voice fluttering into my ears: "The person I like has never been Prime Minister Xiao Cheng, who leans towards the government and the opposition, but the little scholar who talks freely about life and ambitions with me." β
ββ¦β¦β
Xiao Musheng only felt a burst of pain in his heart, as if a thousand-pound stone had been crushed on it countless times.
He opened his eyes suddenly, only to feel weak, and it took a long time before he struggled to sit up, a simple action that seemed to consume all his strength......
The strangeness brought by the environment made his spirit tense subconsciously, and he raised his eyes to look at everything around him.
The roof is covered with cobwebs, and on the high platform are dilapidated but still majestic Buddha statues.
There was the occasional sound of dripping water all around, and not far from him, the burning fire shook slightly......
This familiar scene!
Here it is......
Xiao Musheng's pupils shrank.
But isn't he dead?
Why did you go back to this ruined temple?
If everything in front of him wasn't what he was dreaming about, then ......
He lifted the heavy cloak that covered him, got up and walked to the fire.
There was a piece of letterhead and a bowl of medicine.
The moment he saw the familiar handwriting on the letterhead, his eyes were slightly redβ
Seeing the words like meeting, the son personally opened:
Yu Naiyongcheng Xie family business name Xie Qingyun.
Outside Shengjing, see Jun freezing faint, save life, you wake up, take medicine, if you feel recovered, you will go to Qingyun Building on Chang'an Lane in Shengjing Imperial City.
If you will go out of school, you can live in Qingyun Restaurant and go to the imperial test.
Wishing you: the gold list and the first, the fame will be achieved.
Xiao Musheng clenched his right hand, and then drank the bowl of medicine, the bitterness of which was only known to him, but he didn't expect that he really had a chance to come back again.
In his previous life, for the sake of the so-called rights, he betrayed his relatives and left, and in the end, although he supported the puppet emperor to ascend to the throne and sat in the position above 10,000 people under that person, he ended up with ten thousand arrows piercing his heart.
Now again......
Xiao Musheng took the letterhead in his arms with a look of pity, and his eyes became firm and clear in an instant.
He will never again follow the path of regret that doomed the congregation to betray his family......
