The abbot was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "Yes, when Xiao Baorong understands all this, it is already too late, the relatives around him were killed one by one, he is just a young man who does not understand the world, and he doesn't understand that people's hearts can be so sinister at all, and when he understands everything, Xiao Yan has already stood in front of him and began to force the palace." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Nameless pondered for a moment: "But what I heard is the current emperor who ceded the throne to Emperor He." ”

The abbot smiled bitterly: "Zen Rang, the Zen Concession on the neck of the knife frame, is it a Zen Concession in the real sense? That Emperor He was also helpless, so he ceded his throne Zen to Xiao Yan, the king of Liang---- and the Great Liang was able to establish and build the capital Jiankang." At that time, Xiao Yan was still a good emperor, and he originally wanted to treat Xiao Baorong well, thinking that he was a young man who would not make any big trouble, so he let him live in his aunt and was named the king of Baling. At that time, Xiao Baorong thought that everything had been settled, and he could live a peaceful and stable life, but what he didn't expect was that what could never be satisfied was people's ambitions. At that time, not long after he won the country, his friend Fan Yun passed away, and Shen Yue, one of the eight friends of Jingling, was loyal to him, when he asked Shen Yue, Xiao Baorong could be killed or stayed, then Shen Yue actually persuaded the current emperor to kill Xiao Baorong. The emperor was worried that there was no suitable reason to kill Xiao Baorong at that time, so he immediately accepted Shen Yue's proposal, and the next day he sent Zheng Boyu and Xiao Hong, the king of Linchuan, to Gu Yu to force Xiao Baorong to commit suicide by swallowing gold. ”

"A vicious strategy---- a vicious emperor. After a long while, these two sentences came out.

The abbot seemed to remember something, and he looked up at the roof as if it were right in front of his eyes.

"Thinking about it, Xiao Baorong is not a person with great ambitions, he was also bewitched by Xiao Yan at that time, in order to save the Qi country under the cruel rule of his second brother Xiao Baojuan, at that time, the Qi country was already stormy, and the building was about to collapse, how could he, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, have the power to turn the tide? He is just a victim, a bargaining chip for others to fight for power and profit, but he himself does not know, and the people around him do not know---- when they see it, it is also the time to face death. ”

"Then the current emperor Xiao Yan, why does he want Xiao Baorong to take the throne with him? Since he already has military power, Xiao Baorong is completely vulnerable, and the country of Qi is already in the palm of his hand, and he can't understand why he has to do such a superficial article. When Nameless heard what Xiao Yan had done, he was also extremely indignant in his heart, and he couldn't imagine that Xiao Yan was kind and generous on the surface, but in fact his intentions were extremely vicious.

"As I said earlier, the most terrible thing in this world is not the murderous swords and guns, but the insatiable human heart. The ambition that Xiao Yan tried his best to hide was already obvious at this time, and there were very few people in the court who could see through his heart. Now that I think about it, there was indeed one person who had seen through all of this. The abbot smiled bitterly and shook his head, "He and Xiao Yan assisted Xiao Baojuan at the same time, but how did he know that his friend actually had such great ambitions." ”

Nameless had already guessed who that person was, he was just a listener to the story now, and the main speaker of the story was the abbot, so naturally the abbot would slowly tell who that person was.

At that time, the people in the court, the only one who had good thoughts was Xiao Ziliang, the king of Jingling, that Xiao Ziliang heard that Xiao Yan was going to get rid of Xiao Baorong, and rushed to his aunt overnight, hoping to save Xiao Baorong's life, he knew that it was impossible to enter the palace to meet the emperor at this time, and let him recall the murderer, the only thing he could do was to inform Xiao Baorong and let their whole family escape to avoid the catastrophe. It's a pity that he was still a step late when I heard about it later----"

"Xiao Baorong committed suicide by swallowing gold?"

The abbot shook his head: "That Xiao Baorong insisted on refusing to swallow gold and died, he just wanted to be drunk before he died, and the sixth prince Xiao Hong did as he wished, and when he was drunk and unconscious, he ordered Zheng Boyu to choke him to death with a knife." ”

"What happened to his family? When Xiao Ziliang arrived, didn't he save his family?"

"That day was the day when the queen Wang Yuhua and sisters got together, and I heard that there were more than 30 members of the family that day, and none of them survived ----" The abbot couldn't bear to say any more, it was a tragic situation that people couldn't bear to recall.

"The abbot must be one of the only survivors. ”

When the abbot heard this, he raised his head suddenly, and he looked at the nameless person in front of him with a frightened expression: "You, what do you mean by this?"

There was no expression on Nameless's face, and there was a faint sadness between his eyebrows: "Abbot, I have been coming to Tongtai Temple for more than half a year, during this period of time, I have copied the scriptures in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion every day, and the scriptures and documents in the Xuanjing Pavilion, I have naturally looked through them, and the common name of the abbot before he became a monk was Liu Peng?

The abbot nodded and said, "What if my common name is Liu Peng?"

"Xiao Baorong's mother is Liu Huirui, the Empress Dowager of Mingjing, and her ancestral home is Pengcheng. ”

Nameless gently said two words, completely destroying the abbot's inner defense, he couldn't imagine that he knew his identity just by the name of a layman.

"Moreover, the year when the abbot became a monk was the year Xiao Baorong was killed, three months after he was killed, you came to Tongtai Temple and became a monk until today. ”

The abbot's muddy tears flowed quietly, he nodded and said: "Yes, I am the nephew of the Empress Dowager Liu, I have been in Xiao Baorong's mansion, taking care of the affairs of the mansion for him---- that day I escaped the doom of being killed, and came to the capital in a panic, I didn't dare to use my real name, so I had to change my name to Liu Peng and devote myself to this Tongtai Temple." ”

"The abbot of Yongzhou Fuxian Temple, but he escaped with you?"

The abbot nodded gloomily: "He is the secretary of Emperor Xiao Baorong, after he escaped, he also became a monk in this Tongtai Temple, and went to Yongzhou Fuxian Temple three years later." ”

"Now I know how I could have told the story so clearly if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. Abbot, I'm afraid that very few people know about this matter. ”

The abbot sighed: "So far, only you and I know about this in this world. ”

"Abbot, now you also know that I am not the one who wants to harm you, I just want to know if there was anyone else who escaped that day?"

The abbot shook his head: "At that time, one of the queen's sisters came to the mansion with her little sister, and her sister was only half a year old, so she came with her husband. The little sister was only twelve or thirteen years old, the three sisters were extremely beautiful, the little sister was lively and smart, very lovable, the two husbands were still talking and laughing that day, but in less than half a day, they went to Huangquan together----

"Didn't Xiao Ziliang show up that day? You just said that Xiao Ziliang was going to save people. ”

"Although Xiao Ziliang is a good friend with the current emperor, but when the current emperor first ascended to the throne, he was extremely jealous of the heroes around him, for fear that they would have misdeeds, which made Xiao Ziliang extremely confused, it was precisely because of the emperor's jealousy that Xiao Ziliang would not come forward in person if he rushed to save people. ”

The abbot and the nameless two fell into silence, they didn't know what Xiao Ziliang did at that time, maybe he didn't arrive in time, or maybe he regretted coming to save people halfway, so he turned back, or maybe ---- none of them spoke, what if there were more? That Xiao Baorong's family of more than 30 people, has died tragically, that Xiao Yan after his death, pretended to bury him according to the courtesy of the king, but the court to the prime minister, down to the people of Li, for Xiao Yan's practice, are deeply angry, but Xiao Yan since ascending the throne, widely benevolent government, he accepted the lessons of the destruction of the Qi State, diligent in government affairs, and vigorously adopted the advice of virtuous people, set up a slanderous letter and a lung stone letter, hundreds of officials want to recommend the missing candidates and want to impeach people, can put the letter into this, just a few years, outstanding political achievements, compared to the brutal and mediocre of the Eastern Dusk Marquis Xiao Baojuan, the people of course like the current emperor who can let them live a stable life。 At that time, the government and the opposition were extremely convinced of the current emperor.

After a long time, the abbot slowly spoke: "The current emperor has achieved excellent political achievements after ascending the throne, but after he became the emperor, he has become no different from the previous emperors, and he gradually became extremely suspicious, and he was very jealous of the founding fathers who helped him ascend the throne. Among the heroes, I think it should be his best friend Fan Yun's greatest credit, that Fan Yun before he got into trouble, often discussed with him the merits and demerits of the emperors of the past dynasties, what a smart person the emperor is today, Fan Yun's inadvertent allocation benefited him a lot, and after Fan Yun and Shen Yue and others, they finally assisted him to ascend the throne of the emperor. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, his friend Fan Yun died of illness, and the emperor cried a lot on the day Fan Yun died. Thinking that Fan Yun died early, the emperor still had the 'Eight Friends of Jingling' by his side, but what was surprising was that the emperor did not reuse these good friends of his. That Shen Yue kept his throne forever, and came up with a poisonous plan to kill Xiao Baorong, according to common sense, the emperor should reuse Shen Yue, but for some reason, the emperor often reprimanded him, and finally gave him an idle cold job, and hung him there. The emperor finally handed over the real power to his sixth brother Xiao Hong, who was stingy with the heroes, but he took care of his royal relatives separately, and took care of them a little favoritism. That Xiao Hong relied on the power given to him by his imperial brother, and he was powerful all day long, buying officials and lords, and doing all the evil things that lost his conscience------"

Nameless was silent for a long time before he asked, "What about Xiao Ziliang?

The abbot heard Xiao Ziliang mention namelessly, and stared straight at him: "'Entrusted to the nature of the fish, outside the leisure things. The path of Luo is continuous, and the pine is square. Every time the hills and ravines are submerged, the wind and clouds will be appreciated. ’”

Nameless listened to the second half of the day before replying to eight words: "Yishi talent, but in the end!"
