The wind outside the window blew into the window, it was not huge, but it made the candle flame in the room shake for a moment, and the corners of their clothes floated for a moment.

A cool breath broke the silence between the two.

Song Daren said: "No one knows when they will die, just like no one knows what they will eat for dinner. ”

The summer night winds grew stronger, blowing out a candlelight.

The lieutenant on the table flipped the pages, and the room resounded with the sound of the pages rubbing.

Zhu Kui raised his hand to hold the book and said lightly: "But I can decide what I have for dinner, just like you can decide when I die, it doesn't make a difference." ”

Song Daren was silent for a while again, and sighed: "There is indeed no difference. ”

The room was quiet again, and there was some silence between the two men.

"Since I went to Wu'an County, I was not as good as you, and later when I entered the official school, I was still not as good as you, and until now I have entered the officialdom, I am still not as good as you. ”

"Are you complaining?"

Zhu Kui shook his head, and said with a smile on his face: "I'm just sighing, I don't have jealousy, and naturally I can't complain." ”

Song Daren asked, "For so long, I haven't asked why you are standing on my side, not on my side, I have been waiting for you to explain to me." ”

"I haven't been there, so you're going to kill me?"

"Everyone has a grievance, but having a grievance doesn't mean you can mess around, there is an insurmountable line between the prince and the king of Wu, no matter what your reason is, you have crossed it. ”

"Then it seems that whatever my reason, I will not be alive tonight. ”

"But I want to know why. ”

This time it was Zhu Kui's turn to be silent, until the wind outside the window gradually became lighter, and he got up to light the extinguished candle.

"Do you remember the leader of the Qishan Mutiny?"

At that time, the 340,000 local troops of Qishan County rebelled but were not united, and fought each other without consolidating their positions, which created the scene of fierce war.

But all the things back then were all because of one person, and Qishan was too guarded by Meng Tian.

Later, the rebellion was suppressed, and Meng Tian was taken to Chang'an and should have been executed, but for some reason he was just imprisoned and locked up, and there was no end and no way out.

This is even more uncomfortable than dying, so many people are very satisfied with Tang Huang's approach.

It wasn't until a few years ago that Li Xian became the crown prince and then released Meng Tian.

Many people were surprised, but because many years have passed, because Li Xianyi is the crown prince, he has turned a blind eye and got by.

A sneer appeared on Zhu Kui's face: "That old guy is still alive and well, but the people who died in that mutiny back then will never be alive again." ”

"This is why you betrayed the crown prince?" Song Daren was a little disappointed, and then said: "The prince is a different person after all, he released Meng Tian to appease the hearts of those generals from Qishan County, and also for the hearts of the people of Anqishan County. ”

The Qishan mutiny affected countless cities around it, so over the years, people from Qishan County have been invisibly shorter than others, whether it is an official in the previous dynasty or walking the rivers and lakes, mentioning that he was born in Qishan County will make people stunned for a moment.

Whether the momentary astonishment was hostile or not.

It was not until that year that the crown prince announced the release of Meng Tian, indicating that the world was the world of the Tang Kingdom, and each county was the county of the Tang Kingdom, and there was no distinction between high and low, which greatly alleviated this phenomenon and made the entire Qishan County obey and return to their hearts.

Just like what Tianjiao Bao Zhiming said in the Three Ancient Lands Changlin, why should the sins of the ancestors be added to the descendants?

It's not fair. Dream Island Library

So Li Xianyi gave them this fairness.

Zhu Kui sneered: "Qishan County needs fairness, and the people of the world need a king who can bring justice, but don't the dead need to be fair?"

The country is the world.

The country is the world.

The country is the world.

Whether the family is in front or the country is in front of no one can tell.

But for Zhu Kui, home is always ahead, his wife died in the Qishan mutiny, and the crown prince released Meng Tian, which is a position that cannot be mitigated for him.

Song Daren said: "There are always some trade-offs. ”

Zhu Kui looked at him and said the same: "There are indeed some trade-offs. ”

"That's the only reason?"

"There's one more. ”

Zhu Kui walked to the window and stood down, looked out the window, and said: "The prince will be a good emperor, and King Wu will also be a good emperor, the two are completely different but indistinguishable, some people are more willing to support the prince, and some people are more willing to support King Wu." ”

"So you'd rather stand on King Wu's side?"

"If it wasn't for you, it would have been King Wu that I supported at the beginning. ”

Song Daren was silent for a moment and said: "Everyone has their own choice, and King Wu may also be an excellent candidate, but there is always a queen standing behind him, and the queen is not a good person." ”

Not a good person, such straightforward evaluations and arguments are rarely spoken.

Zhu Kui didn't speak, and there was no need to argue about these things now.

"It's not a big deal, you don't get involved. ”

"You've talked a lot today. ”

Zhu Kui looked back at him and said.

Song Daren was silent and did not speak, he did have a lot of words today, and talking too much means that he didn't want to kill.

It wasn't until a moment later that he said, "I don't want to kill you." ”

Betrayal is always the most unbearable thing, so Song Daren wanted to kill Zhu Kui, but when he stood in front of him, he found that his position was sometimes unable to control his feelings.

"But you're still here, and that proves I'm still going to die. ”

Zhu Kui shook his head and said with emotion: "You have been like this since we first got to know each other, but have you ever thought that when the hunter encounters a tiger, you will have compassion and die in the tiger's mouth. ”

The wind outside the window blew inside the house and through the curtains.

A hemp rope tied to the curtain fell to the ground, in the basin of clear water on the ground.

The water rippled, and then the whole study rippled, and the curtains swung to one side with the wind, but strangely enough, the wind outside the window could no longer enter it.

Zhu Kui looked at Song Daren, sighed and said: "You know me, just as I know you, you will come to kill me, but you will only come alone, my study asked the captain to set up a magic circle a few days ago, the power is not strong, but it is enough to kill you." ”

The wind was blowing in the room, and the captains on the table rattled.
