For every wonderful story, there will be a brilliant protagonist.

Looking along the history, people will find that in the long river of time, there will be countless stories, there are countless eras, and in those eras, the most brilliant person is undoubtedly the protagonist in that story.

A thousand years ago, at the beginning of the establishment of the Daning Dynasty, Emperor Ning Qi was naturally the protagonist of that story, he was a generation of heroes, and a generation of strong men in the millennium, whether it was in the eyes of ordinary people or in the eyes of cultivators, Emperor Ning Qi was a great figure.

With him, no matter how amazing other strong people are, they can only be reduced to supporting roles.

Those strong people are still like this, and that Tai Shi Ling is even more so.

After the founding of the Ning State, many heroes who had been fighting with the tribe since before were rewarded, and some were even given fiefs.

But for many insignificant official positions, Emperor Ningguo openly selects talents in the face of the entire Ningguo, this is to stabilize the people's hearts, and the other is to see if he can find some truly talented people in this world.

This measure was seen by Ning Guo at that time, but it was just a chicken move, after all, these official positions are not very important, and the really talented people will not care too much.

Besides, Ning Guo is in ruins, and the Ning Kingdom at this moment is far from what those scholars want.

Therefore, in the very first time of Ningguo, he did not get any scholars who were good enough to become famous ministers.

However, in this move, the first Taishi Ling of Ningguo appeared.

The young man is called Huan Yu, who has been a lifelong Taishi Ling, as long as sixty years, before his death, Emperor Ningguo asked him, who can succeed him, it is already Huan Yu between the day and night, stretched out his finger and pointed to his eldest son Huan Yong in front of the sickbed, and Emperor Ningguo ordered Huan Yong to be the second Taishi Ling.

And also after sixty years, Huan Yong stepped down, and the third Tai Shi Ling was his son, the grandson of Huan Yu, called Huan Yan.

The three generations of Tai Shi Ling are all children of the Huan family, which also created the history of Ning Guo, after all, although there is a precedent for hereditary official positions, but not in the official position of Tai Shi Ling.

Seeing this, Emperor Ningguo directly waved his hand, and since then Ningguo Taishi Ling has become a hereditary system, and Taishi Ling can choose to hand over the official position to his descendants as long as he is willing.

In the years that followed, Tai Shiling was always a disciple of the Huan family until Huan Wu.

Huan Wu was the most brilliant one of the Huan disciples of that generation, so after the death of the old Taishi Ling, there was no doubt that the new Taishi was chosen by Huan Wu.

The period when Huan Wu served as Taishi Ling happened to be the most glorious era in the history of Ningguo, when the Daning Dynasty was established, Emperor Ning Qi raised the national strength of the entire Daning to an unprecedented level through various measures, living in such a prosperous era, as a historian who raised the pen, it should have been an honorable thing.

Huan Wu and the crown took over the history books, and in the next twenty years, there have been no problems, and his pen includes all the major events in Daning at that time.

When Baiguan mentions this Taishi Ling, he will also give a thumbs up in admiration, if there is no accident, Huan Wu will live his life in the days to come.

But man is not as good as heaven, and when he was forty years old, a great event happened.

It was an ordinary early morning, and the hundred officials went to the court according to the custom, but they couldn't see Tai Shiling at the court meeting, which made everyone feel strange

At that time, Emperor Ning Qi, who was sitting on the jade throne, raised his hand, and the eunuch beside him took out the holy decree and read it expressionlessly.

Only then did everyone know that it turned out that after recording Emperor Ning Qi's one-day itinerary last night, Taishi Ling did not leave the imperial city immediately, but took advantage of the guards' inattention and slipped into the dormitory of a certain concubine.

Throughout the ages, trespassing in the Forbidden Palace has always been a serious crime, and it is easy to kill the head at every turn.

Huan Wu was in the court, and there were some friends, who were also shocked when they heard about this, and they all spoke out, thinking that according to Huan Wu's character, he would never be able to do this kind of thing.

Originally, judging from Huan Wu's past 20 years of being Taishi Ling, it can naturally be corroborated.

However, trespassing on the Forbidden Palace is not a trivial matter after all, so Emperor Ning Qi asked the Zongren Mansion to re-investigate it within a time limit of half a month.

At the expiration of the half-month period, although some suspicious points were found, many places pointed to Huan Wu indeed entering the concubine's bedroom, so Emperor Ning Qi waved his pen and wanted to give Huan Wu death.

But among the hundreds of officials, there are still people who stand up for Huan Wu, and think that if he is not 100% found guilty, he should not talk about murder lightly.

At that time, Emperor Ning Qi was thoughtful, although the evidence was not, but this matter was related to the face of the royal family and could not be easily exposed.

Finally, after careful consideration, Emperor Ning Qi made a decision to depose Huan Wu, and take back the power of Taishi Ling to succeed the Huan family from generation to generation, and finally put Huan Wu in the palace.

After this incident, the entire Huan clan hated Huan Wu, and before Huan Wu returned to the Huan family, he had been expelled from the family tree, and he could no longer claim to be a son of the Huan family in this life.

Originally, he encountered a great bump in life, and his heart was like ashes, and then he left Zhaotian City, and he has not been heard from since.

And then Taishi Ling was recommended by hundreds of officials and became the owner of the codex on Gu Meng's body, Ban Meng.

Since then, the position of Taishi Ling has no longer been passed down from generation to generation, and the children of the Huan family have never held this position again, because this matter is not only related to the Daning royal family, but also has some bad influence on the historians, so there is no record of this matter in the annals.

The only people who can know about this matter are the hundred officials who experienced it at that time and the children of the Huan family who regarded it as a family shame for generations.

Li Xiang, as the original prince, is naturally one of the people who knows these things.

That's why when he saw Huan Wu, he was so surprised.

Because no matter where Huan Wu went at the beginning, he was already a person from a thousand years ago, and it was absolutely impossible for him to live to this day, unless he practiced hard in the future, or used some other secret method, it was possible to survive until now.

But whatever the reason for keeping him alive until now, one thing is certain: his presence here today is not accidental.

After listening to Li Xiang's story, Huan Wu was also a little emotional, he looked at Li Xiang and smiled: "Your Highness really has a good memory, and you can still remember it clearly after a thousand years." ”

Huan Wu, who was white-faced and beardless, looked very gentle, even after listening to that story, there was no sign of anger, as if he had already let go of what happened back then.

Li Xiang frowned and said: "A thousand years have passed, Tai Shi Ling must have already let go of this matter. ”

Li Xiang was very dignified, he knew that it was difficult to let people go, and the reason why he said this was because he wanted to know what Huan Wu thought.

nodded and said: "Yes, after a thousand years, if it were an ordinary person, it would have changed from anger at the beginning to helplessness and decadence later, and in the end, only numbness remained." The reason for the numbness is only because of the powerless self-comfort and abandonment, plus they don't have long to live, so they naturally die like this in the end, making it as if it never happened in the world. ”

"Yes, there is no name of mine in the annals, most of the people who know my name will also die, and the only ones who remember my name are probably those descendants of the Huan clan who have always hated me to the bone. ”

Huan Wu's face gradually became stiff, he looked at the corpse on the jade throne, and smiled: "But I can't forget it." ”

"I will never forget it. ”

As soon as Li Xiang wanted to open his mouth to say something, he was rudely interrupted by Huan Wu, "Don't talk nonsense about what to put down, to start over, have you ever seen the scene in that dark prison, where you can't see anything all day long? You can only hear the dirty cries of rats every day, and when you finally see a ray of light, you find that it is not hope, but the light of the knife!"

"That knife is really sharp!"

Huan Wu's rough voice sounded, with a hint of desolation in it, but more of it was a lot of complicated emotions.

Listening to Huan Wu's words, Gu Meng could easily imagine that scene, just thinking about it made him feel a little gloomy, let alone the other party who had experienced it personally.

It's something you'll never forget.

Although a practitioner can gain more lifespan through cultivation, if a hand is broken, that hand will not grow for the rest of his life.

What's more, it's still that thing that breaks.

If you haven't experienced the suffering of others, then you will never have empathy, and if you haven't experienced the suffering of others, you should naturally not casually comfort the other party and let the other party let go.

Gu Meng has known too many things recently, and each of them has made him feel a little.

Li Xiang said calmly: "If it weren't for Tai Shi Ling's private invasion of the palace, how could this be?"

"Trespassing on the palace, I was just framed by him!"

Huan Wu said indifferently: "You are his son, of course you know what kind of person he is, he is so happy, there have never been people in his heart, there are only himself, all he cares about is the opinion of him in the history, knowing that the pen in my hand will not blindly praise him, he found a reason to take my pen away." ”

"If it weren't for the fact that I still have some friends in the court, Your Highness thinks I can easily survive?"

Li Xiang was silent, he knew that what Huan Wu said was probably true, because he knew very well what kind of person his father was.

He was indeed such a person.

In the eyes of cultivators, he is a powerful cultivator who can dig graves in order to build the emperor's tomb, and in the eyes of the people, he is a tyrant who requisitions hundreds of thousands of people at every turn.

So after a short period of time, Li Xiang believed this statement.

"It's true that Daning is sorry for Tai Shiling. Li Xiang sighed.

Li Xiang seriously apologized to Huan Wu, and then asked, "Where did Tai Shiling go after that?"

Huan Wu laughed loudly: "After that, that story is too long. ”
