Chapter 637: The Truth Revealed
Lao Dao looked at Jiajing, his expression was indifferent and gloomy, with a little hatred and a little unwillingness.
"Because I want to take a gamble."
"Bet on what?"
"Bet that Xiao Feng won't come back, bet that he will disobey, and bet that the two of you will turn your face."
Jiajing was furious: "Why are you doing this, and what is the benefit of doing this?" ”
Lao Dao looked at Jiajing mockingly: "Benefits? I'm also very curious, what good is it for you to kill Xia Yan?
Killing one person in the open, and secretly letting the Jinyi guard destroy Xia Yanmanmen, what good will it do you?
After so many years, you still refuse to let go of a little girl who may just be Xia Yan's granddaughter, what good will it do you? ”
Jiajing said coldly: "The national law is ruthless, Xia Yan colluded with the border generals, the evidence is conclusive, and the court severely punishes it according to the law." You are clearly resentful. ”
Lao Dao laughed: "What a coincidence, Xia Yan and Zeng Mo were just about to recover the Hetao, and they colluded with each other.
As soon as Xiao Feng was about to lead his troops on an expedition to Japan, he deceived the king. Hooray, I beg you to touch your conscience and say, is it really such a coincidence? ”
Jiajing was speechless for a while, Lu Bing sighed secretly, and took over the conversation for Jiajing.
"Old Dao, don't say these words. If you don't tell us why, it's hard for us to believe that you did it. ”
Lao Dao sneered: "Isn't it very simple? Although the Xia family doesn't recognize me anymore, Xia Yan treats me well, and I still recognize Xia Yan as the eldest brother. So I'm going to take revenge on my big brother.
But I'm just a thief, how can He De help my eldest brother take revenge? Not to mention dealing with Long live, even dealing with the Yan Party can't be done.
Until Xiao Feng appeared, he was not only able to help Banzai cultivate, but also miraculously brought down the invincible Yan Party! I rekindled hope.
Xiao Feng has a thunderbolt method, a bodhisattva's heart, even if he deals with bad people, he has always tried to use the right path, and will not use unscrupulous means to sacrifice the innocent.
I was thinking, if such a person can be the emperor, he must be much better than Banzai you, at least he won't kill everyone who is loyal to him! ”
Jiajing was furious, and slammed the dust on the bookcase, and the dust was suddenly broken, and the bouncing dust head almost collapsed on Jiajing's face.
"You...... You traitor, how dare you speak out of your mouth! You...... You are presumptuous, you can be punished! ”
Jiajing has been the prince since he was a child, and later became an emperor, a proper aristocratic style, even though he is scheming, he is not good at swearing.
It must be known that as an emperor, there is no need to scold people in normal times. As long as his face changed slightly, and he didn't even snort lightly, others would already be frightened.
When he met such a bastard as Lao Dao today, his emperor's power lost its effect. Rao is face has become like a Sichuan opera face, and he is about to commit rhinitis, and it has no effect.
So he can only degenerate to the point of scolding to express his anger, but unfortunately his vocabulary is too poor, and there are only these two sentences when he thinks about it, and he doesn't understand his hatred at all.
Lao Dao calmed down and looked at Jiajing sincerely: "Long live, do you know when the idea of poor Dao came about?" ”
Jiajing gasped and snorted. Lao Dao sighed.
"Actually, I didn't have this idea in the first place. In all dynasties, there have been many people who have died unjustly, and Xia Yan is just one of them.
Originally, I also wanted to adopt more orphans, accumulate more virtues and do good deeds, and this life has passed like this. But I watched Xiao Feng running around for you, and I didn't feel good in my heart.
In order to help you cultivate the Tao and help you prosper the Ming Dynasty, he went to the east and the west to seek and suffered a lot. Others are nine deaths and one life, and he dies twice just by dying!
He helps you fight, helps you measure words, helps you eradicate traitors, and helps you promote virtuous. Help you unite Tibet and help you maintain Miao Xinjiang.
Help you drive out the Tartars, help you conquer the steppes. Help you destroy the Rakshasa and help you defeat the Rakshasas. Help you pray for rain to save the people, and help you destroy the white lotus.
I even have to help you coax the harem, save your daughter, teach your son, and choose a prince! But what about you? What did you do to him?
When the Yan family murdered Xiao Feng, how much did you help him? He was forced by the Yan family to lead the troops out of the customs, forced to be the governor of Jiangnan, and forced him to change rice to mulberry, how much have you helped him?
All you have in mind is partisanship, nothing more than balance! Because you are the emperor, others should be good to you, and you should be good to others!
No matter how good Xiao Feng is to you, you have never let down your guard against him! Xiao Feng is like this, Xia Yan is like this, Lord Lu, you are the same! ”
These words were even more shocking than the laughter just now, and the whole room was so frightened that their faces were colorless, and Lu Bing was even more embarrassed.
If he doesn't speak, it seems that he acquiesces to what the old Tao says makes sense, long live being wary of himself, but can he admit it?
But if he speaks, and he doesn't know how to answer, he can't say that Banzai trusts me extremely much, isn't that a boast?
Jiajing gritted his teeth: "Presumptuous! I have always trusted and cared for my junior brother, and my trust and affection for my junior brother, how can I allow you to talk nonsense? ”
Lao Dao smiled: "Oh? Do you trust and care for Xiao Feng? That's right.
I just wrote you a poem and threw a fish, and you immediately suspected that Xiao Feng had deceived the king and rebelled, so much trust, so deep feelings! ”
Jiajing's face was blue and red for a while, and he waved the dust whisk with only half a rod left, stood up and shouted angrily.
"Don't talk nonsense, just say, when did you come up with this kind of rebellious idea and want to force me to turn against my junior brother?"
Lao Dao nodded: "Originally, I was just uncomfortable, thinking that you didn't do anything good, but you can sit back and enjoy it and become an immortal."
But when Xiaodong was framed by Yan Shifan as Xia Yan's descendant and imprisoned, I had this idea.
Think about it, a girl like Xiaodong who has nothing to do with Xia Yan almost died because of other people's casual words, so it can be seen to what extent Banzai hates Xia Yan?
I originally thought that after you killed Xia Yan, you would actually have some regrets in your heart, but judging from Xiao Dong's incident, you have no regrets at all!
That's right, you are the emperor, you can't be wrong. Even if it's really wrong, you can only make it wrong! Not only can you not admit your mistakes, but you also have to destroy some evidence of mistakes!
So, from then on, I hope to think of a way to make Xiao Feng turn against you! Even if you can't force him to rebel, at least you can't help you prosper the country and become an immortal! ”
Jiajing's teeth clenched, and he pushed Huang Jin, who came up and wanted to help him sit down, and smashed the table with a dust whicker.
"Traitor, traitor, traitor! How sinister your intentions are, how sinister they are! ”
Lao Dao sneered: "Hooray, don't you understand? Anyway, you don't trust people who are good to you or bad people to you.
What's the use of being good for you? Anyway, you are going to die in your hands, so it is better to die happily, so as not to have a heart in your heart when you die.
People, when is the saddest thing, not being killed and wronged, but being wrongly killed by someone who is sincere and loyal, is the saddest thing! ”
Jiajing suddenly stopped shouting or scolding, he glared at Lao Dao fiercely, sat down slowly, and spoke for a long time.
"Since Yan Xiaozhong's death, that desperate poem, and the fish in the fairy word stone, are all a ploy set up by you, just to make me and my junior brother turn their faces.
Then why did you turn yourself in today and tell me the truth? Don't say that you suddenly found out in your conscience, I don't believe it! ”
Lao Dao sighed: "Of course it's not a discovery of conscience, but I always have a bottom line than Banzai." I don't want to do anything that hurts people for no reason.
I've been planning this for a long time, and since the case of Xia Yan's descendants, I've had everything in place, just waiting for an opportunity.
This opportunity is that Xiao Feng is far away from the capital, and he has heavy troops! I know that he often has to go out to help you fight, and there will always be opportunities like this.
But I didn't expect this opportunity to be so good, for the sake of this battle of national fortune, Xiao Feng had to take all the military power in his hands.
You must know that he usually only controls the army of one place, even if he wants to rebel, he is also powerless.
But this time is different, if he really has the idea of rebelling, then this is the best opportunity! ”
Everyone was terrified in their hearts, what the old Taoist said was true, if Xiao Feng usually had even a little idea of rebellion in his heart, this time it was indeed an opportunity not to be missed.
"So I immediately launched the whole plan, the core of this plan is to make you believe that in that Xia Yan's descendant case, Xiao Feng designed to bully the king.
Once Banzai has such an idea, not only will he immediately distrust Xiao Feng, but he will also immediately deprive Xiao Feng of the right to lead the troops. This is understandable.
But Xiao Feng is very obsessed with the destruction of Japan, and everyone knows this. In this way, Long Live is forcing Xiao Feng to make a choice.
Xiao Feng's Taoism is profound, and if he wants to destroy Japan, he must know that the fortunes of the Ming Dynasty cannot cross the hurdle of Japan. Otherwise, how could he not forget it?
Although Xiao Feng is witty and intelligent, he is sometimes very stupid, he will do anything to do what he thinks is right, he was framed by Yan Shifan back then, and the search and conviction in the house is an example.
Therefore, Xiao Feng is likely to choose 'the general is outside, and the king's order is not affected', lead the troops to fight Japan first, and then explain to Banzai you when he comes back.
As long as this happens, then my plan will be completed. Regardless of whether Xiao Feng won or lost the war against Japan, after he came back, there was only one way left to raise troops and rebel. ”
Jiajing's face was no longer pale, but pale, and he asked knowingly, as if he was muttering to himself.
"No, no, I believe he won't rebel, he won't. He is a rebel, and no one helps him, and he is not surnamed Zhu ......"
Lao Dao sneered: "He will." Because by the time he came back from Japan, Xiao Feng must have already been killed.
Not to mention the Xiao Mansion, even the Liu Mansion, Zhang Tianci's family, and An Sizheng's family, there is not a single one left. All his relatives and friends are dead.
At that time, do you think Xiao Feng really won't be opposed? He likes you, senior brother, really to the point that it doesn't matter if he kills his whole family? ”
The term "liking" rather than loyalty to the emperor seems extremely inappropriate.
But Jiajing was touched in his heart, and he suddenly understood that the relationship between himself and Xiao Feng was the most thorough.
From the first time they met, he didn't let Xiao Feng call long live, but asked him to call him senior brother. Xiao Feng is not so much loyal to himself as he likes it.
His love for Xiao Feng is not so much a favor as a favor. Without the word "like", the relationship between the two would be gone.
Xiao Feng fought in the south and the north, prayed for rain and brought the baby, and also helped him train the harem and improve the quality of his sex life, not because he was loyal, but because he regarded himself as a senior brother and a big brother.
Jiajing suddenly understood why Lao Dao hated himself so much, he must be closer to Xia Yan than Xiao Feng to himself.
After all, they are brothers, after all, the whole clan doesn't recognize him, and Xia Yan still treats him as his younger brother.
Xia Yan ...... Is it good for you? ”
Well? Everyone was stunned, what is the situation in their hearts, they are talking about rebellion and rebellion here, why did Banzai suddenly ask such a sentence?
Lao Dao was also stunned, but he was already fearless at this time, so he didn't have to bother to guess whether there was any deep meaning in Jiajing's words.
"Yes, Xia Yan is very good to me. When I was very young, I stole other people's things and didn't change them. Xia Ding tied me up and tied me to the bench.
My family is a military household, and the family law is also a big stick used in the army. Xia Ding was determined to beat me to death that day, and he picked up the sticks to make a noise.
Xia Yan was originally studying in the study, but when he heard about it, he rushed in, lying on top of me and hugging me, without persuasion or speaking.
Xia Ding is a very stubborn person, although he loves Xia Yan very much, he can't tolerate Xia Yan disobeying his orders, so he doesn't stop.
I was already beaten in a daze at that time, and I heard the sound of a stick hitting Xia Yan's body, and my neck was covered with cold sweat dripping from his face.
Later, Xia Ding couldn't hold it anymore, threw a stick, let people drag Xia Yan away, and then asked people to give me medicine and throw me out a hundred miles in a carriage, leaving me to fend for myself.
Later, I was picked up by the master, and many years later, I became a thousand-armed Rulai. Xia Ding is also dead, Xia Yan is an official in the capital, so I dare to go to see him secretly.
At that time, I knew that after I was thrown away, Xia Yan never gave up looking for me. But he didn't dare to say anything, so he deliberately made friends with some people in the rivers and lakes and asked them to help inquire about me.
Otherwise, with Xia Yan's high and majestic majesty, how could he mix with people in the rivers and lakes? It's a pity that I have already changed my surname to Bai, and the people in the rivers and lakes don't know that I am the younger brother he is looking for.
Since that meeting, Xia Yan has asked me to go home at least three times a year, and he has a secret room specially prepared for me.
When Jinyiwei raided the house, he had seen the secret room, and Lord Lu must have wondered why there were no possessions or secrets in the secret room, hehe. ”
Lu Bing nodded silently, this secret room was indeed an unsolvable mystery at that time, Lu Bing dismantled the entire secret room into bricks, and he didn't find anything, and he couldn't imagine that the truth was like this.
Jiajing said in a sullen voice: "It was I who interrupted you, and you continued, since you are bent on making me and my junior brother turn their faces, why did you suddenly turn yourself in and tell the truth?" ”
Lao Dao smiled bitterly: "I overestimated Xiao Feng and underestimated Long live, resulting in me now having to turn myself in and clean up the mess." ”
Jiajing frowned: "What did you overestimate Xiao Feng?" What did you underestimate me? ”
Lao Dao said in frustration: "I overestimated Xiao Feng's ambition. I thought that with his obsessive energy, between the elimination of Japan and the safety of his relatives and friends, he would choose to attack Japan first.
I underestimated Banzai's feelings for Xiao Feng. I thought that when I saw Xiao Feng not returning, I couldn't wait to arrest everyone and torture them.
One of these two has been realized, and between Long Live and Xiao Feng, it is difficult to have room to turn around, and it is bound to turn around. But...... Alas.
Long Live only arrested Zhang Wuxin and Zhan Feiyun, and did not take a big punishment. These two guys have rough skin and thick meat, and they can accept a little suffering.
When I heard that Xiao Feng had surrendered his military power and set off for Beijing, I knew that this matter was hopeless.
My eldest brother taught me that being a man can not be bright, but you must be single, you have to do it if you think of it, and you have to admit it if you can't do it!
Now that my plan has failed, I don't need to drag so many people into the water anymore. They're all my friends, and that's the last thing I can do. ”
Lu Bing suddenly said: "Since they are your friends, when you designed this plan, you didn't care about their life and death." ”
Lao Dao sneered: "Anyway, in the end, I will die with them, if there is any grudge, I will hold my head in the underworld and let them report it casually."
Now that the plan can't be realized, I naturally won't drag them to die together. They are all good people, maybe they can forgive me and burn incense for me during the New Year's holidays. ”
Jiajing suddenly asked, "Lu Bing, An Qingyue ......"
He only said half a sentence, but Lu Bing had served him for half his life, so he naturally understood.
Jiajing originally said that he would arrest An Qingyue, but Lao Dao said that he only arrested Zhang Wuxin and Zhan Feiyun.
"Long live, it was the courtier Lu Yi, who told Chen An Qingyue that she had just finished giving birth, and it was really not appropriate to arrest her. The minister had the audacity to be authoritarian, and let people put her under house arrest. ”
Jiajing breathed a sigh of relief: "Although Lu Yi is young, he is calm and capable, and he has merit in this matter, and he can be promoted to another level." ”
A stone fell to the ground in Lu Bing's heart. He didn't report to Jiajing for a long time, in fact, he was waiting to see if Xiao Feng would come back.
If Xiao Feng resisted, he would definitely arrest An Qingyue, so there was no need to tell Jiajing that he would be arrested a few days later.
If Xiao Feng came back, then Lu Bing felt that with Xiao Feng's eloquence and his relationship with Banzai, there was a chance that the matter would be resolved peacefully, and he would have a favor.
Now that all doubts have been solved, everyone is silent. Because no one really expected that the truth would be like this.
Jiajing was a little embarrassed at this time, but he had to ask more clearly, because it involved his follow-up processing.
"In that case, everything written in the poem is false?"
Lao Dao nodded: "Except for me being a member of the Xia family, the rest are fake." Because there is only this secret, no one knows.
People have a habit of hiding an amazing truth in a pile of lies, which will make people believe that all words are true, right? ”
The corners of Jiajing's mouth twitched, indeed, that's what he thought. Such a crucial thing is true, do you still need to make up lies for the rest?
"And how did you make up all the other things that seemed so reasonable?
What rouge sisters swapped identities, what An Qingyue pretended to be a rouge leopard, what Zhan Feiyun acted, Zhang Wuxin killed people and killed people. ”
Lao Dao laughed: "Long live, you are so forgetful." These are all made up by Yan Shifan in front of you back then, I just remembered it, did I forget? ”
Jiajing suddenly realized, he couldn't help blushing, he was annoyed and angry, and he had endured the old way for a long time, and he almost had hemorrhoids.
Now that everything is clear, he can finally restore the majesty of the emperor. He looked at Lao Dao coldly and said lightly.
"You are doomed, but aren't you afraid that I will kill Xiao Dong and kill the entire Xia family?"
"Thousands of rivers and mountains are always love, can't you urge more votes!"
