Chapter 259: [The Longest Night (23) See Your Majesty]
There are only two people left in the Hanyu Hall who have retreated.
Emperor on the throne.
And the victors under the throne.
The third prince of Da Chen, His Royal Highness King Ning, Chen mocked the wind.
Father and son were looking at each other, and silence had been happening for a long time.
The moonlight outside is still bright, but the people under the moon are different.
"Do you know why I let you go?" the Emperor finally asked.
"Because of my father, my heart is about the world. Chen replied, there was incomparable admiration in his voice, and the feeling was strong, as if he had never done anything that happened tonight.
"Yes, because I care about the world. The Emperor nodded, "Before I ascended the throne, someone came to join me, and I was penniless at the time, so I asked the man, if I reached the top one day, what would Qing want? Guess what he said?"
"Erchen couldn't guess. Chen shook his head.
He said that he did not seek fame, did not seek fame, did not seek gold and silver treasures, and was beautiful and picturesque, but only hoped that His Highness would one day reach the top and be able to care about the world, and then this person died for me. The emperor snorted, "What a stupid man, but this stupid man, I have remembered this sentence for eighteen years, and in these eighteen years, I have not forgotten this sentence day and night, and my year name is Akagi, in order not to let myself not forget that sincere heart......"
"Third child, you did something wrong. ”
"The son was frightened, and asked his father to punish him. Chen mocked up and immediately knelt down, lowered his head, and confessed.
"Do you know what you're wrong?" the Emperor asked again.
"Erchen ......"
"You form a party for personal gain, cultivate power in private, fight to the death with the second child, frame and hunt down Gu Yue'an, and even make the capital chaotic, with countless casualties, these ......" The emperor shook his head, "I don't blame you, for the sake of the throne, unscrupulous means, it's normal, I did it back then." ”
"But there's one thing you really shouldn't do. He paused for a moment and said, "You really shouldn't, in order to hurt me, to destroy Mount Tai's heavenly pillar, if I am injured and die, it is small, if the heavenly pillar is broken, you and I will not be redeemed!"
"The son is guilty. Chen mocked his head and shook his head.
"That's it. The emperor then waved his hand again, "King Cheng and Kou, now that I am about to die, you are the only one I can use among so many children, it is useless to blame you, but you should know how undeserved you are to do this, you understand, the meaning of the Heavenly Pillar, right?"
"Erchen...... Have a smattering of. Chen mocked the wind and said in a low voice.
"Don't be modest, you know everything, Bai Yujing's outcast Gongshan is not confused by your side, if he didn't know how to scheming, he was a bad move in the process of fighting for the Emperor of the Sword Pavilion back then, with his natural talent, he should already be the Emperor of Heaven, of course he told you everything, otherwise, how could you plot against me?" the emperor sneered, but then his tone calmed down again," the emperor sneered, but then his tone calmed down again," You only have seven years left, originally, in the period of two hundred years, without your help, I will also send myself to death, when the time comes, not only will you be on the throne, but I can also extend it for you for ten years, but you are too anxious, even if I exhaust most of my efforts, and the strength of all the masters around me, it can only continue for another eight years, and now that a year has passed, the time left for you is getting less and less, and this time is not only a period of two hundred years, but also a thousand years, it is an unprecedented change in heaven and earth, when the time comes, can you hold on?"
"Erchen, you must do your best!" Chen mocked up again.
"I'm going to die, I can't see what happens next, and there's nothing I can do for you. The Emperor did not react to his son's statement, but said, "But there are two things that you must promise me." ”
"Father, please command!" Chen mocked up and was still respectful.
"First of all, you must remember, the four words of the world, you know?" the emperor looked at him with great seriousness. When Taizu founded the country, many people said that my Chen family was not right, it was by taking advantage of the opportunity of the Bai family to resist the blood disaster of two hundred years, cholera the world, and finally won the world, although no one dares to speak like this now, but this is always my heartache, I Da Chen has enjoyed the country for two hundred years, how much wealth and glory my Chen family has also enjoyed, it is time to do something for the world, don't let future generations say that my Da Chen is a human sinner, let alone ......"
"Erchen, I will definitely not be the king of the dead country. Chen mocked the wind and kowtowed his head for the third time.
"No, the Great Chen Kingdom can be destroyed, and the human race ...... "The Emperor suddenly became excited, "Do you understand?"
"The retainers obeyed. Chen Xiaofeng stopped talking.
"Second thing. The emperor's eyes suddenly changed from fierce to warm, and even with a little pleading, "I beg you for this matter." ”
"Father, don't talk like that, the son is terrified. Chen mocked the wind and still didn't dare to go over.
"I beg you...... Don't kill Gu Yue'an. When the emperor said this, it seemed that he had exerted all his strength, and his face immediately turned pale, and he began to gasp violently, "You have ruined all his reputation, and also ruined his power, he has no way to gain a foothold in the sun, and he can only hide in the dark in the future, but ah, I know, a person like him, even if you treat him badly in a thousand ways, but the country is in trouble, the human race is in trouble, he will still stand up, because he is the kind of person who has a true pure heart, which is also the reason why I chose him in the first place, originally... ... He was chosen to assist you, but ......"
"You are a person, you have been like this since you were a child, if you like something, you must not allow anyone to rob you, and you can't even rob it...... Such...... Sooner or later...... It's going to kill you. ”
The emperor suddenly stopped speaking, and the whole hall fell silent.
The emperor sat on the throne, as if it were, asleep.
After a long time, Chen Weifeng raised his head, looked at the emperor on the throne, and slowly spoke, saying word by word: "Father...... I'm afraid, son, I can't agree. ”
Then he turned around and walked out of the empty Hanyu Hall step by step, and came to the steps outside.
The steps were full of ministers of civil and military affairs, all waiting for the final moment.
Hearing footsteps coming from the main hall, everyone looked up and looked at the only survivor who had come out of the main hall.
Silent.
There was a long silence.
I don't know how long it was, and I don't know who shouted first.
"Wechen...... See Your Majesty, My Emperor...... Hooray, hooray, hooray!"
Then, there were countless voices, and these voices finally converged into one sentence, that is.
See Your Majesty.
The full moon still hangs in the sky.
However, a new era has arrived.
