Zhao Yuan is not only Liu Xunyi's life-saving benefactor, but also a loving father and teacher who raised him as an adult and trained him to become a talent. It not only prolongs his life, but also gives him survival value and a bright future.

If it weren't for Zhao Yuan, he might have starved to death on the streets of Qianzhou.

If there was no Zhao Yuan, a little beggar who was begging along the street and was lonely, it would be impossible to become a court official who had no worries about food and clothing.

If there was no Zhao Yuan, there would be no Liu Xunyi today?

Therefore, it is difficult to express Zhao Yuan's meaning to Liu Xunyi with a feeling.

Although the last time they got along was not pleasant, Zhao Yuan was furious because of Liu Xunyi and Zhao Xin's broken lotus, and even deliberately abandoned Liu Xunyi, but compared to the twenty years of nurturing grace and cultivation, what are these gaps?

The flaws are not concealed, and it will not affect Zhao Yuan's status in Liu Xunyi's heart at all.

He never expected that he would go to Mobei to send off his relatives, and in just a few months before and after, he would come back and be separated from Zhao Yuan in the two worlds of yin and yang, heaven and man forever.

The sudden bad news was tantamount to a bolt from the blue for Liu Xunyi, which made him unable to believe it for a long time, and he didn't want to believe that Zhao Yuan would die suddenly without warning.

trembling and trembling in a daze for an hour, the flustered Liu Xunyi slowly accepted the cruel reality and admitted the scene in front of him...... It's not child's play.

In an instant, the emotional outburst was like a river bursting its embankment, Liu Xunyi was like a collapsed corner, like a mourner, crying could not be looked up, and the pain was unbearable.

He didn't know how he had crossed the high threshold, and how he knelt in front of Zhao Yuan's spirit.

With teary eyes, he looked at Zhao Yuan's spiritual position stupidly, feeling as if his body had been slashed piece by piece with a knife. The pain of ten thousand arrows piercing his heart, the pain of burning fire, and the torture in his heart was no less than a Ling Chi, causing his breath to dry up, his heart trembling, and even the blood flowing in his body gradually coagulated into ointment.

Recalling the past, and Zhao Yuan's little by little sprung up one after another, and the scenes jumped in my mind, making Liu Xunyi, who was embarrassed, sometimes muttering to himself, sometimes shouting to the sky and grabbing the ground, sometimes beating his chest, and sometimes being stunned......

The five are burning, like a landslide and the ground is cracked, and the universe is turned upside down. The liver and intestines were broken, which made the stone man cry and the iron Buddha sad.

In the depths of love, Liu Xunyi struggled to get up, and crawled next to Zhao Yuan's coffin, crying hoarsely and heartbreaking......

From beginning to end, Qin Wei stood silently behind him, without obstruction, persuasion, or even a word of comfort. Just stood silently, watched silently, silently reddened his eyes, and silently burst into tears.

It was almost dusk, and Liu Xunyi, who was always cool and miserable, seemed to have exhausted all the strength of his body. The cry of blood and wailing gradually stopped, the face of the tearful exchange was full of panic, the red and swollen eyes were full of sorrow, and he knelt straight in front of Zhao Yuanling like a lost soul, like a wood carving, an iron spear, and a stone tablet.

Only the hands that swayed slightly, constantly throwing the paper into the brazier, showed that he was still a living person with flesh and blood, love and hate.

"Alas!"

I don't know how long he was silent, Qin Wei, who looked solemn, slowly stepped forward and lit a few candlesticks in the hall one by one, making the dark mourning hall gradually glow with a touch of yellow.

When Liu Xunyi's gloomy face gradually appeared in the candlelight, Qin Wei was slightly stunned, and let out a meaningful sigh.

"Brother Qin......" Finally, the depressed Liu Xunyi said the first sentence after entering the mourning hall, and his voice was extremely hoarse, "Master Hou, he ...... How did you die?"

Hearing this, Qin Wei's eyes moved, and he subconsciously glanced at the solemn black gold coffin, his throat squirmed slightly, and he said lightly: "Died violently." ”

"Died suddenly?" Liu Xunyi put his hand into the brazier, completely ignoring the ferocity of the fire, gently turning a few pieces of unburned paper at the bottom of the basin, and asked absentmindedly, "Master Hou has no illness or pain, and his body has always been healthy, why did he die violently?"

"Actually, after a big battle with Luo Tianjin in Luoyang City last year, Hou Ye's internal injuries have not healed. Qin Wei explained unhurriedly, "During the days when you were not in Lin'an, some changes occurred in the imperial court, which made the Hou Ye anxious and unfortunately passed away......

"Change?" Liu Xunyi's movements in his hand froze slightly, and a suspicious look flashed in his eyes, "What happened?"

"You just came back, I'll explain it to you slowly in the future......"

"No!" Liu Xunyi interrupted, "tell me now." ”

Seeing Liu Xunyi's tough attitude, Qin Wei couldn't help frowning, groaned slightly, and slowly spoke: "In short, the West Mansion impeached the East Mansion to the emperor, and the Hou Ye ...... Suffer from the fish in the pond. ”

"Xifu impeached Dongfu?" recalled carefully, Liu Xunyi's face gradually became extremely ugly, and his voice trembled and asked, "This matter ...... Can it be related to me?"

Qin Wei's eyes swelled, and he said with relief: "Everything is providential, you don't have to feel too guilty......

Although Qin Wei did not answer Liu Xunyi's question positively, the sentence "don't be too guilty" undoubtedly confirmed that Zhao Yuan's death was greatly implicated in Liu Xunyi.

Sure enough, when Liu Xunyi heard Qin Wei's answer, his already dry eyes were once again covered with a layer of tears full of guilt and grief.

"Tell me...... What the hell is going on?"

"Dongfu spent so much manpower, material resources, and financial resources on Luo Tianjin, but the result was a failure to recruit An, which made the emperor angry. Qin Wei said slowly, "Later, Lin'an came out with a group of people from the rivers and lakes who didn't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth to make waves, and it came back to the source...... This matter is still unfavorable for the East Mansion, leading the wolf into the house. And then you and the princess ...... repeatedly entangled, and even used the Mongols to blackmail the emperor, which completely aroused the anger of Long Yan, and vowed to investigate to the end and never tolerate it. On the other hand, Xifu, because of the successful negotiation with the Mongols, made an immortal contribution to the relief of the army of the Great Song Dynasty. The emperor has great trust in the West Mansion and ...... the East Mansion The dissatisfaction is huge. ”

"This ......"

"In addition to that, there's the matter of Yunya Town. Qin Wei continued, "Rumors are rife in the DPRK and China, and they all agree that the bloody case in Yunya Town is ...... Because of you. In this way, there was another disaster in Dongfu, and because this matter involved the Mongols, the emperor attached great importance to it. ”

"And then?"

"Later, under the impetus of the Western Mansion, hundreds of officials admonished the emperor together, and in the name of 'eliminating traitors and supporting the dynasty', the officials of the second grade or above in the Eastern Mansion were ...... Impeachment in all. ”

"What?"

Qin Wei's shocking news made Liu Xunyi unable to hold back the shock in his heart anymore, and said in disbelief: "What do you mean...... The prime minister and the Hou Ye are also among those impeached?"

"Not only on the list, but at the top of the list. Qin Wei said bitterly, "In a fit of rage, the emperor severely punished the prime minister, the marquis and more than half of the officials of the Eastern Mansion. Among them, the prime minister and the marquis were dismissed from office and seized power, and imprisoned pending trial. Others...... The punishment of crimes, the dismissal of officials, the demotion of demotion of demotion are all in a word, and the government and the opposition are shaken, and the east and the east are in mourning. ”

"This ......"

One after another shocking news came one after another, which made Liu Xunyi overwhelmed, chaotic, and unable to return to his senses for a long time.

"No one expected that the scope of this purge would be so wide and the impact would be so great that even the prime minister of the dynasty would be reduced to a prisoner. Qin Wei choked up and said, "Hou Ye is humiliated in prison, and he ...... in a hurry."

"Original...... Master Hou was killed by me......" Liu Xunyi, who was ashamed, stared at Zhao Yuan's spiritual position, and his body trembled like a sieve because of his emotion, "It turns out that ...... I'm the culprit......"

"Brother Liu, you can't be blamed for these things......"

"No!" Liu Xunyi's heart was like a knife, and he shook his head again and again, "If it weren't for my deep obsession with the princess, if it wasn't for my insistence on saying goodbye to the princess in person, if I hadn't agreed to send my relatives...... The prime minister and the marquis will never suffer from this catastrophe. It's me, it's all my fault!"

"Bang, bang, bang......"

Before the words fell, Liu Xunyi suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself fiercely, instantly bruising his cheeks and bleeding from his mouth and nose.

"Brother Liu, the deceased is gone, don't be like this!"

Qin Wei was shocked, hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Liu Xunyi's arm, and hurriedly dissuaded: "If Hou Yequan knows, he doesn't want to see his most important person so arrogant and self-inflicted! At least...... At least we live, and there is hope in life......"

During the dispute, Liu Xunyi, who was crying bitterly, fell into Qin Wei's arms, and his fist smashed to the ground like raindrops, smashing the bluestone floor tiles, and it was still difficult to relieve the pain in his heart.

"People can't be resurrected after death! Why blame yourself for the past?" Qin Wei hugged Liu Xunyi, who was sobbing tightly, and smiled with tears, "The most important thing is that I was not implicated in this turmoil, and you were not killed halfway, you and my brother will not die in a catastrophe, and there will be a blessing ......in the future."

Hearing this, Liu Xunyi, who realized it later, slowly pushed Qin Wei away, looked his entangled eyes up and down on him, and said incomprehensibly: "Why can you get out of the way? Why do they call you 'Hou Ye'......"

"Do you remember my situation before you and I separated?" Recalling the past, Qin Wei's eyes flashed a gloomy color, "Lord Hou and Master Jia teamed up to harm me, they asked me to falsely accuse the little prince and make me the substitute ghost of the East Mansion......"

"Yes!" Liu Xunyi suddenly came to his senses, suddenly grabbed Qin Wei's arm, and couldn't wait to ask, "How do you solve this matter......?"

"Of course not!" Qin Wei sneered, "If I follow their wishes, how can I live to this day in good shape, and how can I take the position of Hou Ye and become the new master of Tianji Pavilion?"

"New ...... Master?" Liu Xunyi was stunned and speechless.

"That's good!" Qin Wei said proudly, "When the emperor personally asked me about the ins and outs of the matter, I did not deceive the king according to the wishes of Lord Jia and the Hou Ye, but ...... Not beat around the bush. Afterwards, although the emperor was furious, he did not blame me, but praised me for my courage and loyalty. Soon after, Dongfu was purged, and I ...... In a daze, he was named the 'New Tianji Hou' by the emperor and succeeded the Hou Ye in charge of the Tianji Pavilion. In terms of official rank, although he is not as good as the former Hou Ye, he is at least an upright third-grade master. ”
