The pot is tilted, and the smell of wine is slightly diffuse.

In the drowsy hall, only He Ye knelt alone.

He thought that if there was really a soul conjuring technique in the world, then he would do whatever it took to bring about a reunion with his brother's soul here and now.

"Brother, I really hope that you have never been an emperor."

"At the beginning of my accession to the throne, Empress Dowager Wei warned with suspicion, saying that in the position of the emperor, it is inevitable to make trade-offs in the future, and only with a heart of iron and stone can sit firmly in this chair of power, I didn't think so at that time, but now, I really realized that there is really a difficult choice."

"Eleven Niang lied today, maybe in addition to today, she also told a lot of lies, but brother, I know that she did this for my sake, she didn't want me to blame myself, let me be embarrassed, I don't blame her, because I really can't bear it, execute Ah Weng."

"Brother, how nice it would be if I could see your soul and be reprimanded by you."

"I have failed my brother, many years of protection, sometimes I think even I am not the emperor, how good it should be, because in this way, you can be happy with revenge."

"Ah Weng did this, although it was not out of my own behesitation, but the purpose was for me to seize the throne, I can't escape the blame, I can't execute Ah Weng, he and Ah Brother have long been regarded as relatives by He Ye, I can't execute Ah Weng and Ju Shinan because I feel at ease."

He Ye closed his eyes, clenched his fingers into fists, and put them on his knees: "If He Ye is just He Ye, I can't hate to break Ju Shinan's body to pieces, but I am still an emperor." He frowned, and the corners of his sharp lips slowly hung a hint of mockery: "As an emperor and determined to revive the prosperous world, I can't ignore cause and effect. Ju Shinan killed the king, the crime should be executed, but I must admit that in addition to a few villains such as the bandit leader Zhu Zizhuang, the vast majority of the urgent guild were cornered by my He Zhou generations of mediocre monarchs, and only by resisting tyranny/politics can they save themselves and save others. ”

"Ju Shinan is different from He Shen, he has never had the world, only for the power plot, and he, dividing the Tibetan Turks, helping to discuss and Tubo, conquering the Turks, etc., as the emperor's He Ye, I can't ignore it, I have decided not to pursue Ah Weng anymore, let alone kill Ju Shinan, whether it is out of justice or personal feelings, brother, He Ye can only owe you."

When he opened his eyes, he saw that this room was dark and empty, although the furnishings of the past had not changed, He Ye could feel that there was no longer the breath left by his brother here.

"Brother, He Ye has no shame to beg for your forgiveness, but I really hope that I can meet your soul, and I hope you can reprimand He Ye fiercely, accusing me of being ungrateful and ruthless, but you must not want to see me......"

"Only after He Ye has been a hundred years, maybe he can meet Brother Underworld, at that time, no matter how Brother punishes, even if He Ye is allowed to drink his intestines, he will not dare to shirk the quibble."

Towards this dark and empty hall, He Ye tidied up his clothes, bowed solemnly, and then he didn't murmur anymore, he leaned against the cold pillar, let the stiff carving spine, let the moonlight shift, gradually shallow in from the window lattice, and retreated faintly, he was so silent in the face of the silence of the night, sad but no sorrow.

But between the eyebrows, firmness and determination have never changed.

When he faintly saw the morning light, He Ye finally got up, his steps were steady, his spine was straight, he knew that he had made a choice, he could no longer look back with shame, this time, he completely betrayed his brotherhood, he was always a selfish and mean person in front of his brother, maybe in this life, he will no longer have the face, set foot in this place of remembrance.

He chose to leave without looking back, but when he pushed open the door of the palace, stepped out of the high threshold, and saw the lonely pavilion not far away, Shi Niang was still sitting in the place last night, and He Ye's steps were slight.

She also insisted on accompanying him in this way.

There may be only Eleven Niang in the world who can understand his pain at this time, because in the eyes of the world, the respect of the Ninety-Five, the emperor's power technique, originally could not tolerate warmth and kindness, but He Ye was still stubborn until this time, he did not want to be the emperor in the customs, he had a long-formed bottom, he had a warm persistence, although there was also a ruthless abandonment.

The pace can't help but become gentle.

"I want to summon the ministers and the palace to discuss and declare in public that although Ju Shinan committed the crime of killing the king, because of his indispensable contributions, he was exempted from death and exiled to Lingnan to fill the army."

Eleven Niang was shocked.

This night, what she actually thought about the most was how to intercede for Ju Shinan, but she couldn't bear to speak, because she was very sympathetic to He Ye's struggle - He Yan was not a heinous crime, let alone a dead innocent, he was He Ye's relative, and now that he found out that his death was persecution, he must hate the murderer, change his position, and Shi Niang must not be so tolerant.

She didn't expect that without waiting for her persuasion, He Ye would so firmly announce that Ju Shinan could be spared death, and it was above board.

Although Lingnan is far away from the political center, and the confiscation of the army is also a heavy punishment, not to mention that in the eyes of the world, Lingnan is a place of poison.

But back then, the rebels of the Urgent Guild had gone deep into Lingnan, and abolished the tyranny/government during the reign of Empress Dowager Wei, so that the Tu people and the people could live and work in peace and contentment, it can be said that Huai'en King He Yu and his subordinates have a very high reputation in Lingnan, even if Ju Shinan is full of troops, no one will be harsh, and Ju Shinan is well versed in the art of female yellow, and he can restrain the scabies.

Of course, Eleven Niang was happy for Ju Shinan, but she was worried about He Ye: "The Holy Lord publicly forgave Ju Shinan, but I am afraid that it will ...... There will be little people who are ungrateful on the saints. ”

"To my brother, I was originally ungrateful, and I deserve to be condemned." He Ye's expression was solemn: "Ju Shinan's work in Tubo, and his willingness to protect my prestige, although he can't declare the world, he repented with his banner, causing Wang Shujue to decide to stop the civil strife against the Turks when the society was in danger, and save thousands of people from the war, which is enough to avoid death." Moreover, the reason for the rebellion of the Guild is that the royal family of Hezhou has an unshirkable responsibility, and it is my responsibility to lenient Ju Shinan and issue an edict to the subjects of the world who are guilty of their own crimes, which is the responsibility that I should bear, only in this way can the subjects realize that I, the emperor, have indeed made a painful determination to reform and accumulate concealment, and there will be a peaceful rule in the future. The society is strong and prosperous, far better than the life and death of the monarch himself, I want future generations to keep this in mind, this is the foundation of the country's success. ”

He is really the emperor, and he is expected to be the lord of Zhongxing, his mind is so firm, even Eleven Niang was surprised, in front of He Ye, she clearly realized her shallowness, she may not be power-conscious, but she will still be limited by selfishness, at most it is a trade-off between public and private, trying to find a balance and both, Eleven Niang dare not imagine that when she has to give up her moment, she will be like He Ye, unswerving.

"As for Shi Yan, he has no merit for the society, but he has a life-saving grace for me." He Ye lowered his eyebrows: "Executing him may reduce my guilt towards my brother, but for my brother, it is actually not fair." ”

Eleven Niang's heart sank, she knew that she still hadn't been able to deceive the past.

"Since I have given up on in-depth investigation, I don't plan to deceive myself anymore, Shi Yan can't be publicly released, so let him commit suicide in fear of sin."

Of course, this is just a sentence, and the implication of He Ye's words is to indulge in private affairs and let him be incognito, but he can enjoy the rest of his life with his old wife and weak children.

He is taking all the guilt on his shoulders, and since he has already failed his brother, why should he bear Shi Yan again.

"Yiyi, I can feel and accept your intentions, but I don't want to hide it from you, I know that this matter is indeed related to Ah Weng, and I can't punish Ah Weng, because Ah Weng did this for my sake." He Ye sighed, stretched out his hand, and stroked Eleven Niang's sideburns: "I once thought that my brother was in my heart, my dearest relative, and I used to be so, but it wasn't until last night that I realized that in fact, people are inevitably selfish, even me...... Brother Ah is no longer alive, but I am still alive, since I am alive, I don't want to lose Ah Weng, let alone lose you, I betrayed my brotherhood because of myself, you and Ah Weng should no longer have a burden. ”

In the morning light, the incomparably warm man couldn't smile easily, he looked away, and also withdrew his caressing.

"I'm an idler now, and I'm still not tired at this time, but Yiyi hasn't slept all night, and after a while, I'm still inevitably worried about government affairs, so I should take a break and rest, and today Yiyi won't pay attention to me, and let me go a day, feel sorry for myself."

Where was Eleven Niang willing to leave He Ye alone and depressed, she raised her eyebrows slightly: "Don't underestimate me, although I am not as good as the saint, I have practiced martial arts since I was a child, and I am not weak, but I haven't slept all night, where can I be tired?" And let the Holy One feel sorry for himself, how can I feel at ease? We have already agreed that no matter how many hardships and hardships we will have to advance and retreat together in the future, the Holy One will keep his promise, how can we break our promise in Mae? ”

There is no need to waste words to explain, Eleven Niang acquiesced that she did cover up Jiang Yuan's guilt, if she couldn't avoid He Ye's guilt, then she should accompany him, because this man, the supreme emperor of the world, did everything to her, really made her unforgettable, for her, He Ye has always kept her promise, although she knew that she had something to hide, but she was still afraid that she would be ashamed of the deception.

Liu Shiniang, how fortunate she is to be He Ye's wife.

She will not be ashamed, she just wants to be by his side, although it is difficult to share his pain, but at least let him understand that all his efforts are not unworthy.

He Ye finally had a reluctant smile: "In this way, then Yi Yi will accompany me for a walk." ”

The man stretched out his hand, and his slender fingers were slightly pale in the morning light.

Walking hand in hand, the palms of the snug each feel warm.

They didn't even talk any more, they just smiled when they met once in a while.

Eleven Niang sometimes pays more attention to the soles of her feet, and seems to be subconsciously, attached to the intimate figure they cast.

Turning around, the shadow moved from front to back, and his eyes followed the past, passing by a bluegrass beside the path, and the jade dew condensed beads, refracting the bright colors of the sun.

Eleven Niang looked up and looked at the east, the rising sun had jumped into the clouds.

"Sunrise." She pointed to the flamboyant with some childishness.

So he stopped his steps, and both pairs of eyes looked in the direction of the rising sun.

Eleven Niang suddenly felt her fingers tighten, and she turned her face sideways, facing He Ye's eyes.

The corners of the oblique eyes were slightly raised, and there was no smile, and a pair of black eyes, which contained the silence and nothingness, made Eleven Niang's heart frightened unprecedentedly.

She couldn't help but tighten her fingers.

"Yiyi, don't panic, it's not a big deal, it's just that I can't seem to see you anymore......"
