new opportunities

Zhi Ming didn't answer right away, but instead approached Fang Ye: "Is this what you want to ask or Ah Li?"

"Although I want to ask, but I know it, my master wants to know, but I dare not ask. Since your majesty ruled the Central Plains, you are far from being comparable to the master. If you are so humble, if your majesty is no longer as good as before, please your majesty." Let the master be free physically and mentally, and leave the master with a trace of dignity."

"That was a resignation at the banquet the day before yesterday, and it was also a last resort to protect A Li. I did not deny A Li dignity, but when will this king not give A Li freedom of body and mind? What do you mean by that?"

"Although I have faced countless difficulties and challenges, my master didn't care about the humiliation in the past, and never hesitated in order to restore the country. However, for Your Majesty, the master felt ashamed, but he was more affectionate, so he didn't hesitate at the beginning. Later, in order to consolidate His Majesty's ruling position, the master dismissed all his subordinates, just to stay by His Majesty's side without being criticized. Later, in order to further help His Majesty consolidate the throne, he wanted to help His Majesty gather eight Baojian, the opening of the sun happened just now, but it was misunderstood. At that time, the master felt ashamed to face His Majesty, and wanted to ask for death many times, but because of his reluctance and tolerance to His Majesty, he lived on. With great guilt, he once said that before His Majesty unified the Central Plains, what he owed His Majesty was a debt of love, but after His Majesty unified the Central Plains, what he did before was just a sin, because the master lived in the bondage of atonement and debt repayment all day long. A trace of tenderness is probably a thorn in the master's own hands, but the master is deeply involved in it, unable to extricate himself. Whether it is repaying debts or atonement, he has returned his heart to His Majesty. Now the master has completed the restoration of the country. The grievances and grievances between the two have come to an end due to the separation between life and death, but for His Majesty, there is always a kindness to the master. After the master put down the matter of heaven, the only purpose is to repay the favor and atone for sins, but your majesty is no longer the former ruler of heaven, so I dare you Ask Your Majesty if you still have my master in your heart?"

Zhi Ming was silent and refused to answer for a long time. Zhi Ming never dared to confirm Murong Li's feelings for him. After all, that was the impression left by Murong Li in his previous life. It's true that I don't owe Ah Li anything, even though Yao Guang is not needed, Murongli can maintain a good relationship with him, but both of them are the lords of the country, and it is always inconvenient for him and it is not easy for him to see Ah Li, so this life is different , although he did not attack Yaoguang, but he snatched Yaoguang over abruptly. Since Murongli became his subject, he has never treated him as Zhiming before. He asked him to be a qualified emperor, so he abandoned his past self and became the emperor that Murong had in mind, but he always got farther and farther away from Ah Li. By your side, everything can slowly return to the past. . .

Seeing that Zhiming hadn't answered for a long time, Fang Ye refused to give up. He was already very dissatisfied with Zhiming in his heart, and followed up with sarcasm: "I know that your majesty cares about the common people in the world, and the world is naturally the number one in your majesty's heart now. What is my master doing?" Maybe it's a delusion to seek a little status among the common people in the world?"

Hearing the noise from outside, Murongli woke up a little leisurely, stretched out his tired hand, stroked his cheek, felt the swelling and pain disappearing, and thought that he might be able to go back to the palace to see Zhiming again, very soon is happy.So he got up slowly, and before he reached the door, he heard Fang Ye's words: "I know that your majesty cares about the common people, and the world is naturally the number one in your majesty's heart. How could my master want to gain a little status among the common people in the world?" ?”

Murong Li didn't dare to move anymore, as if he was frozen, he wanted to step back, he begged God not to let Zhi Ming say anything, that's it, stop, he can pretend he doesn't know, all he wants is to return to Zhi Ming's side, Even if you take a look at it from a distance every day, it is better than telling the truth from Zhiming's mouth.

At this time, the inside and outside of the house were strangely quiet. After an unknown amount of time, Zhi Ming turned around slowly: "Fang Ye, you are wrong. The world has never been ranked first in my heart, and Ah Li is the one who has always been ranked first." The first person."

Fang Ye looked up at Zhiming in shock, he felt that Zhiming was lying to him, but those eyes clearly did not lie at all, and he clearly heard Zhiming say: "The world is what your master wants, but The only thing I want is A Li. But I know very well that if there is no world, I can't get A Li. If I want A Li to stay by my king's side, I must guard the world and let him rest assured. The king has no choice but to want this world."

Fang Ye looked at the emperor in shock, he regretted why he didn't wake up his master.

"You said that I will not let your master be free, so why am I not trapped here by your master's wishes and expectations." Give everything I have, happiness, happiness, freedom, including life, I am willing.He didn't say it in the end, but Fang Ye already understood it very well, and wanted to do something to help the two of them, but before he could speak, someone came outside, saying that the Tai Tuo had something urgent to see.Zhi Ming sighed, and left lonely, but he didn't know that the people in the room had already burst into tears.

Seeing the letter in the Taifu's hand that he had handed to him at the beginning, Zhi Ming knew exactly why the Taifu came.

But he still joked and asked: "The Tai Tuo is in a hurry to see the king, what's the matter?"

The Tai Tuo solemnly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the old minister came here to plead guilty this time. The old minister opened the letter without His Majesty's permission. The crime is the same as deceiving the king. Please give me the death penalty."

Hearing this, Zhiming soon knew that the Tai Tuo was forcing him to die. No matter who the Tai Tuo was, how could he open the letter privately? It is likely that the people in the two generals' residence accidentally opened or destroyed the letter. After seeing the content, the Taifu came to help take the blame, and directly fought with his life, forcing him to insist on abolishing the previous imperial decree, so he did not intend to give the Taifu a chance: "Teacher, don't worry, the situation is urgent, so I wrote After reading this letter, I immediately decreed to take back the three letters and destroy them. This letter and the letters from the two generals are all invalid and no longer valid. The letter in Ziyu's hand has been returned to the king, so there is no need for Taifu to worry. "

Hearing this, the Taifu was even more worried, which showed that Zhiming wanted to protect Murongli, which made him intolerable, but His Majesty's handling of it meant that he had nothing to say, but it left a bigger hidden danger. As long as Zhi Ming has this idea in his mind, the contents of this letter will not be invalidated.

Seeing that the Taifu didn't reply for a long time, Zhiming understood Taifu's worries, so he said: "Don't worry about Taifu, I didn't dare to entrust it to you at the time, but I had no choice but to entrust the throne to someone else. A capable person, Grand Tutor, the land of the Central Plains has suffered from wars for too long. At that time, the country was initially established. If I can't come back, the only person in the Central Plains who has the ability to control the overall situation is Murong Li. This is just a last resort, if it is not He, or Murongli also died at that time. I dare to say that the Central Plains will fall into war again, and all the hard-won peace will be destroyed once again. Now that the power of the world has gradually moved to the right track, the temporary emergency is no longer applicable. At that time Princess Yaoguang, today's Master Murong Yue is even more powerful and qualified, you can rest assured, Taifu, I have a sense of proportion."

Hearing this, Grand Tutor Mao Sai suddenly realized that Murong Li did have this ability back then, but no matter what happened in the past, Murong Li is no longer in a position of power. From this point of view, His Majesty has always been in control of the Central Plains, so he pleaded guilty and left. No more pestering.

In the next few days, Zhi Ming did not go to the hut. After this series of events, Zhi Ming deeply realized that the country was too unstable. He had already sent someone to guard Ah Li at all times, and asked Ah Li to stay outside for a while. It's best to stay away from these messy things every day, and this process lasts for a whole month.But he said that Murongli played the flute every day, although he missed seeing Zhiming very much, but because of Zhiming's words that day, he regained his composure.Looking back, he felt that he was not Murongli in the past few months, but Zhi Ming still regarded himself as the former Murongli, and endured his indifference and a series of discomforts brought about by the change of identity.He always thought that he was adapting to Zhiming and thinking about Zhiming, but it turned out that Zhiming had also been adapting to him and changing for him, but both of them ignored the heart that should be the most important to each other, and both of them avoided this key point At this point, Murongli thought that he was afraid of hearing about his position in Zhi Ming's heart, and Zhi Ming was also afraid of his position in his heart. Thinking about it this way, his self-righteous actions at the beginning probably hurt Zhi Ming many times, so Zhi Ming He reacted so strongly when he heard that he was going to commit suicide.

On this day, Zhiming finally came, and Murongli had been telling Fang Ye to pay attention to Zhiming's arrival, and specially prepared food and drinks for him. For a month, he made some plum wine himself, just waiting for Zhiming's arrival.Seeing the smiling and casual Murongli, Zhi Ming was stunned.When Murong Li saw Zhi Ming, he called out: "Your Majesty." But there was no response, so he stepped forward, pulled Zhi Ming, and brought him to the table: "Your Majesty, wait a moment, wait for Ah Li to take the bowls and chopsticks away. Come." Instead of looking at the food and drink, Zhi Ming's gaze followed Murongli all the time.When Murong Li sat across from him and opened the lid of the wine, he smelled the aroma of the wine, snatched it off and put it in front of him to smell it.

"This is the plum wine that Ah Li has brewed in the past month. It won't be very intoxicating. Use it to satisfy His Majesty's gluttony."

Only then did Zhiming see the exquisite four side dishes on the table, which was quite different from what the two had done for seven days.Zhiming was a little flustered, Ali, who was usually cold, was very enthusiastic at the moment, so abnormal, he was very scared, afraid that Li would abandon him: "Li, but what did I do wrong, is it still giving birth to me? I'm so angry, A Li, I'm sorry, I, oh, I will never let you go to such a dangerous banquet again, A Li, I was only concerned about the diplomatic relations between the two countries at the time, so I was invited to come here, if I knew this The Lord of Liuli is like this..."

Seeing Zhi Ming's nervous expression, Murong Li felt distressed for a while, but he couldn't help but sneered: "Your Majesty, how long ago did that happen, not to mention, A Li is not well now, and it is not His Majesty who poisoned you." Besides, His Majesty also detoxified A Li." Zhi Ming blinked his bright eyes twice, still looking cute, and Murong Li continued, "Probably Your Majesty forgot that he confessed his love to A Li here a month ago. And today, A Lite prepared this table of food and wine to answer His Majesty."

Hearing this, Zhi Ming recalled what he had said here a month ago, his face was even more frightened, and he was stunned.
