After I died, I soared
Chapter 16
Regardless of Li Longcheng's confusion, Shen Jiming almost forcibly brought him into the palace.He described the beauty of the palace in his mouth, and patted his chest to ensure that Li Longcheng would have a bright future in the future, but in fact, he was 1 nervous, and he only dared to take the remote paths that no one passed along the way, and he didn't even have the main entrance after entering the palace. Dare to leave, he hid Li Longcheng under the cloak, and tiptoed back to the bedroom.
Shen Jiming didn't have a holy family, and he was never married, so he didn't leave the palace to open the house for a long time.In the past, he was often away from Beijing, and he didn't feel that something was wrong, but now he has a guilty conscience, and he wished to invite Ying immediately, so he could take Li Longcheng and flee back to the outside of the pass.
Li Longcheng on the side couldn't escape the child's heart, and was very curious about the decorations in the palace. Although Shen Jiming obediently led his body, his thoughts had already flown to the sky.When Shen Jiming was still in shock and knew that it was not safe yet, he ordered the maid to take Li Longcheng to the apse to have a look, and whispered that Li Longcheng should not take a step away.The maid suppressed her doubts and had no choice but to follow suit. She led Li Longcheng in on the front foot, but someone broke into the door on the back foot, and said in a bad tone, "Your Highness the Nineteenth."
Shen Jiming put away his nervous expression and put on a calm face.He didn't respond in a hurry, but took off the black silk slowly, revealing the dull eyes, and then leaned on the edge of the table and sat on the wooden chair to drink tea.
The secret agent waited secretly, and when the nineteenth master had moistened his throat enough, he spoke again: "Your Highness is a smart man, and I don't speak dark words. The one who played in your plum garden yesterday was the youngest son of the Li family in the east of the city. For Li Longcheng. Your Majesty's decree, the Li family disobeyed the holy will and harbored evil intentions, so they should be executed. Now all the rebels in the Li family except Li Longcheng have been punished. I don't know where Li Longcheng's half-old child will go. Please ask Your Highness."
Shen Jiming sneered and said, "Master Qiu has been doing things for my father in this way all these years? I have only met that child twice, so it's hard for you to come to me and ask me."
Qiu Qiansheng didn't change his face: "Why did you come here? Your Highness don't have to pretend to be confused. This matter is of great importance. I hope your Highness will not make things difficult."
"I say I don't know, but I don't know. Master Qiu is so aggressive, is he implying that the king is colluding with the rebels?"
With a bang, Shen Jiming got up angrily, and the ceramic bowl and cup were thrown to the ground by him: "This king has been stationed outside the pass all the year round, and never thought of being arranged here in Beijing. Qiu Qiansheng, you are so brave, Holding a chicken feather to charge arrows in front of this king, I don't even think about how capable you are."
Li Longcheng heard the strange noise in the front hall, and was about to look over, when the maid hurriedly pulled him away.
Qiu Qiansheng's attitude has not softened, but has become even tougher: "Your Majesty's oral order is like a piece of chicken feather in His Highness's eyes. The names of the whole family of Weichen, old and young, are all tied on the chicken feather. The people from Jiantian Temple poked His Majesty's heart, Li Longcheng It has long been impossible to survive! Your Highness is sorry for the situation of the Li family, why don't you want to give half of the pitiful alms to the humble minister?"
Hearing this, Shen Jiming was amazed: "I thought that even my ears had something wrong, but Mr. Qiu said the word "poor" so frankly. One thing is that you are in good health, but you are waiting for me like this. In front of the blind man, he described himself as pitiful. On the other hand, the Qiu family relied on their status as adults to call the wind and rain in the capital, and even the servants were better than the food served by the border guards. This king doesn’t know where the word pitiful comes from?"
"Your Highness! I just want to know where Li Longcheng is!"
"Qiu Qiansheng! This king also told you that this king doesn't know where Li Longcheng is. If Mr. Qiu doesn't believe it, he can go back to his father and say that this king is secretly harboring serious criminals. How to deal with this king is his own decision. It’s still not your turn to ask the teacher for your crime.”
Shen Jiming refused to accept softness and toughness, but Qiu Qiansheng knew that it would be useless to stand in a stalemate with him.Li Longcheng disappeared from the Li Mansion out of thin air, which was impossible with only one child.However, when he came to ask Shen Jiming, he was only guessing based on his past understanding, without any real evidence, even if he told the emperor, it would be useless.The reason why Li Longcheng had to die was his rare fate as an emperor, and Shen Jiming was also feared by the emperor because of his military power.From the emperor's point of view, if Xiao Nineteen really wanted to seize the reserve, he had to get rid of the hidden danger of Li Longcheng, how could he risk his life to help.
Qiu Qiansheng returned empty-handed. After the sound of his footsteps disappeared, Shen Jiming's feet softened and he sat back down.His fingertips couldn't stop shaking, even though his eyes were blank, he couldn't hide the look of fear and anger.
The sensible palace people evacuated the people early in the morning, and the incident of Li's mansion being raided was full of uproar.Hearing the trembling voice of the palace servant, he brought tea for Shen Jiming again: "Your Highness, that child...is really..."
Shen Jiming rubbed his brows, and said weakly, "It's him."
The palace man immediately knelt down: "Your Highness! It's too risky! This is absolutely impossible!"
"Jiantian Temple is pretending to be mysterious all day long, so there is nothing they can't say! Do you know that the first time Father ordered to take Li Longcheng's life, he was only a baby who had just reached the full moon! Only for the sake of the people of Jiantian Temple! A sentence of the emperor's fate, the father will bury him alive, it is unreasonable!"
"Your Highness, forgive me for saying too much. Regardless of whether the youngest son of the Li family was seriously ill or not, this matter has already been revealed. No one can save the Li family. Your Highness, don't put yourself in danger."
Even if he didn't say this, Shen Jiming understood it very well in his heart.I don't know how many families have been sentenced to be executed for no reason in the past few years, especially the situation of the Li family, I am afraid that even the nine families will not be able to protect themselves.The ins and outs of the whole incident were extremely absurd, and Shen Jiming, as a prince, was helpless.
"His Royal Highness impulsively protects Mr. Li... I don't know what to do in the future? His Majesty will not let Mr. Li go if he can't find Mr. Li."
Shen Jiming pondered for a moment, then said: "Tomorrow I will leave for the outside of the pass, and I will take him with me."
"Leave so soon?"
"I should have gone back a long time ago, but I was delayed by Brother Nine's funeral. The Li family can't hand over Li Longcheng, and the execution is only a few days away. I need to take him away in advance."
"Your Highness wants to hide Mr. Li."
"He's only about ten years old, if he doesn't hide it, how can he bear it?"
The palace man hesitated and said: "There will always be a day when you know..."
"..."
"It's a day if you can hide it for a day."
Li Longcheng didn't know that he was saving his life under Shen Jiming's cloak. When he fell asleep late at night, he knew that he couldn't go home, and he fell into endless panic and fear. No matter how the maids tried to comfort him, it was useless.
The palace maid was at a loss, so she had no choice but to report to Shen Jiming that the youngest son of the Li family lay down on the bed of the nineteenth son of the emperor that night.Shen Jiming had no experience in comforting a child, so he could only pat him on the back clumsily, racking his brains to say something to soften him.Perhaps due to his sincerity, Li Longcheng became quiet. He pressed close to Shen Jiming, and could almost hear his heartbeat clearly.
Li Longcheng asked suddenly: "Is Your Highness a great general?"
Shen Jiming did not expect him to ask: "What general, who told you?"
"During the day, my sister told me that she showed me the sword His Highness used when she was young, and told me that His Highness is a respected general."
"Ha..." Shen Jiming smiled awkwardly: "What is Qiu Jin talking to you about?"
"Your Highness is only sixteen years old, and he is already terrified by the enemy's news." Although Li Longcheng's voice was low, he spoke seriously: "I admire people like Your Highness very much."
Shen Jiming had never heard such a frank and straightforward praise, knowing that such words came from the mouth of a child, he couldn't help being soft in his heart.
He was blind since he was a child, and it was inherently difficult for ordinary people to read and write, not to mention practicing martial arts, and even forming troops.He went from being a hopeless blind man to where he is today. Among the hardships, he knows best in his heart.
As a prince, he didn't grow up like a star.Whether the prince is favored or not is often inseparable from his mother and concubine, and since his mother and concubine fell out of favor, her spirit has deteriorated day by day. At the beginning, she even wanted to teach him how to play the piano. Sometimes, he often cried bitterly, beat and scolded at every turn, and blamed Shen Jiming, who suffered from eye diseases, as the cause of his fall from favor.
The more she was like this, the more the emperor hated the mother and son.It is customary in the palace to praise the high and step down the low, and Shen Jiming's ears have been filled with cynicism since he was a child.When he returned from meritorious service, the emperor had no time to look at his youngest son differently, and his precautions prevailed again.Although the common people praised Shen Jiming for being brave and good at fighting, but there was always a sense of respect and distance in this praise, rather than sincere love.In the final analysis, Shen Jiming is just a mortal with seven emotions and six desires.He has always longed for sincerity from others.
Li Longcheng asked: "His Royal Highness was only 13 years old when he first went out to war, and he was far away from his hometown and clansmen, fighting to the death against foreign enemies." He paused: "I choose to follow Your Highness today, will I be like His Highness, and it will be difficult to see my parents again in a year."
Shen Jiming's heart, which had been softened just now, tightened suddenly. The disasters in Li Longcheng's life were all caused by the four words "the fate of the emperor".She was isolated from the outside world and confined at home since she was a child. Before she could grow up, she suffered a catastrophe of genocide.It's not that it's hard for him to see his parents, it's that he never sees them again.Tomorrow he will be taken by Shen Jiming into the desert thousands of miles away, and none of his people will be left on the guillotine, leaving a pool of blood that cannot be washed away.
How could he suffer such a crime at such a young age.
In the middle of the night, Li Longcheng made a promise with Shen Jiming that he would be as outstanding as Shen Jiming when he was 16 years old.Shen Jiming smiled and hooked up with him, and finally coaxed the child to sleep peacefully.For His Highness the Nineteenth Prince, it was destined to be difficult to sleep tonight.He put a single coat on his shoulders, took out a bag of powder from the cabinet, and softly called the most trustworthy palace servant.
"I'm leaving tomorrow. I'll take Li Longcheng with me. I'll protect him. There's only one thing I'm most worried about," he put the powder into the palace man's palm, wrapped his fingers around it Clenched tightly: "Chou Qiansheng has seen Li Longcheng, he is loyal to his father, so he must die."
After a pause, he added: "I won't come back within three years. Be careful."
The palace man said in a deep voice: "Your Highness's order, I am willing to go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of fire. It's just that although Lord Qiu is His Majesty's minion, he has indeed contributed a lot to His Majesty for so many years, but according to this slave, Lord Qiu is not a cruel person by nature. He insisted that His Highness knows where Young Master Li is going, which shows that Lord Qiu not only knows His Highness's mind, but also feels that Your Majesty...he is not lying today, and he can't do or not to do many things by himself. Your Highness really wants to kill His Majesty?"
Shen Jiming sneered: "Knowing that you made a mistake, you still want to act like a victim. If you say that, I think he deserves to die."
"Your Highness, the world is not black and white."
"I'm blind. I don't know what's right and wrong. I only know that if Qiu Qiansheng survives, Li Longcheng won't. I've met too many lonely souls who died unjustly, and I shouldn't have one more."
The palace man sighed: "I only hope that His Highness's kindness will be rewarded in the future."
Shen Jiming froze.
"Your Highness, when Mr. Li has to learn the truth, I'm afraid he will hate you."
Shen Jiming didn't have a holy family, and he was never married, so he didn't leave the palace to open the house for a long time.In the past, he was often away from Beijing, and he didn't feel that something was wrong, but now he has a guilty conscience, and he wished to invite Ying immediately, so he could take Li Longcheng and flee back to the outside of the pass.
