I write a eulogy every day for the person beside my pillow

After several major cleansings by Li Li in the Lan Dynasty, the Huang family and the Liu family were in chaos, and the two huge family buildings were about to collapse.

All officials in the court are like frightened birds, and they are in constant fear all day long.

At a court meeting near the end of the new year, an official cried loudly and said: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Qi died of illness last night!"

Qi Guogong is the patriarch of the Liu family, he is ninety-four years old, he has been bedridden for many years, but he still has prestige in the court.

There were cries one after another in the court hall.

"Stop arguing!" Li Li yelled without imperial dignity, and looked longingly at the official who reported. "I didn't hear you clearly, please say it again."

The official had no choice but to repeat the news of Qi Guogong's death intact.

"Ha." Li Li laughed, and found that all the officials in the hall were grimacing, Li Li couldn't help it anymore, and laughed wildly, "Hahahaha."

In the solemn court hall, only the emperor was laughing, and he was laughing wildly.

Li Li was out of breath from laughing, clutching his sore stomach, and said with a suppressed smile, "Retire."

Toad Palace trotted all the way behind and couldn't catch up with Li Li's pace.

"Toad Palace, you are a tortoise, and you are walking too slowly." Li Li urged Toad Palace impatiently.

He urged, but the person stopped and waited, causing Toad Palace to almost bump into him.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, forgive me!"

Toad Palace's calf was trembling, and he was about to kneel down to Li Li.

As soon as Li Li picked up Toad Palace, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked with a smile, like ink painting added color, very vivid, "Toad Palace, today is the winter solstice, I'm going to hold a family banquet, this year you don't have to think about where to get delicious food It's gone."

Toad Palace was in a trance, and pinched his thigh, "Time is running short, this servant will go and inform the ladies and princes of the palaces."

"What do I want to do with them when I host a family banquet?" Li Li accused Toad Palace dissatisfiedly, "What we did in the past, we will do now."

Li Li had never held a family banquet since he became the throne, but he insisted on doing it.

Toad Palace trembled, "Your Majesty is so stupid, please show me clearly."

"Me, you, Luo'er, the three of us are called family banquets." Li Li looked at Toad Palace with increasingly disgusted eyes, "I see that no one will remember you when you are old."

Toad Palace was extremely wronged, he had thought about it long ago but he didn't dare to confirm it, why is His Majesty so vicious now?

"What are you doing in a daze, go!"

Li Li checked the dishes brought up by the eunuchs one by one.

He pulled Toad Palace, forcing him to sit beside him.

"The whole roast leg of lamb is yours. I won't snatch it from you today." Like a hospitable host, Li Li piled all the delicacies in front of Toad Palace.

Toad Palace didn't dare to move chopsticks, kowtowed to Li Li in a hurry, his eyes were full of fear, "Thank you, my servant, thank you for your kindness."

Li Li's face froze for a moment, and he smiled again, "Remember to be gentle."

Toad Palace's face was flushed with shame, as if he remembered some memories that he couldn't bear to look at directly, he justified sullenly, "How could the slave—"

Li Li continued to play with the dishes. He put a plate of milk cake shaped like a bunny on the opposite side of the table. Don't come to him in the middle of the night."

Li Li shook his head amusedly, looked at the empty seats, and asked Toad Palace, "What about Luoer, why hasn't he come yet?"

"His Royal Highness King Song—" Toad Palace said hesitantly, "He has contradicted and offended His Majesty several times, and he was demoted to Shu by you ten days ago, and he should still be on his way to Shu."

Another plate of Li Luo's favorite sweet-scented osmanthus crisps fell in Li Li's hands, making a crisp shattering sound.

Li Li was like waking up from a dream, "I forgot, that's why I drove Luoer away."

"His Majesty."

Toad Palace yelled worriedly.

Li Li picked up the wine and drank it down, wiped his face with his sleeve indiscriminately, and choked up with aggrieved words, "He didn't tell me when he left."

He is obviously a tyrannical emperor with countless blood on his hands, but he cries like a precocious boy from a scholarly family. He has been beaten by his teacher in school and still maintains a good upbringing, only in front of the closest people. Cry a while, showing the child's temper.

Toad Palace was deeply infected, and wiped his tears for a while. He kowtowed three times on the ground and said eagerly: "His Royal Highness King Song has not gone far, and His Highness can send someone to chase him back. You and Song His Royal Highness has had deep feelings since he was a child, so he will not really blame you. Please, Your Majesty, let His Royal Highness Song come back."

Let you come back!

Since Li Li came back from the border gate, Toad Palace felt that Li Li was a different person, cruel and indifferent, tyrannical and crazy, but it is clear that His Royal Highness Li Li is such a gentle person.

Gradually, Toad Palace did not dare to talk to Li Li unscrupulously anymore. He learned to lower his eyebrows and be pleasing to the eye, learned to be cautious, and learned that the king's heart is like the sea, and he can't just speculate on it. He has also changed from a small eunuch in the harem to the chief eunuch , bit height weight.

But in the Toad Palace, there was only one person who wanted to be loyal - the fourteenth prince Li Li.The person on the throne looks exactly like His Fourteenth Highness, but who is he?

Toad Palace was bold. His body was still lying on his stomach, but his eyes were no longer fixed on the ground. He locked on Li Li with a begging gaze, "Your Majesty, don't go further, and don't let the slaves fail to keep up with you."

Li Li fanned his long eyelashes, as if he was greatly touched by Toad Palace. He solemnly raised his hands and squatted beside Toad Palace, like children exchanging secrets, whispered: " I will not let Luo'er really go to Sichuan."

Toad Palace was overjoyed, "Your Majesty really feels sorry for Song—"

Before Toad Palace could finish expressing his joy, Li Li continued, "I'm going to kill Luo'er."

Toad Palace's face turned pale, and he forcibly squeezed out a bit of relief, "Your Majesty is happy to find a servant."

"Really, really." Li Li held Toad Palace's hand with a sincere face, "I have already sent killers to kill Luo'er, I will only tell you about this, you must keep it a secret for me."

Toad Palace kept shaking his head, with tears and snot all over his face, he didn't know whether it was from fear or anger, he struggled to free his hand from Li Li's, stepped back on the ground, and cried loudly: "I can't take it anymore, don't let I'm here! I can't take it anymore, don't let me be here!"

He even forgot to call himself a minion.

Toad Palace scrambled and ran out, but the guards caught him and dragged him down.

Li Li pressed the acupuncture point on his forehead and called another eunuch to fill his wine glass.

"The rebel in the Toad Palace has been executed by me. From now on, you will take his place."

Surprised and delighted, the little eunuch hurriedly kowtowed to thank him.

Li Li sat on the ground with one knee bent. He casually put the hand holding the wine glass on his knee, and glanced at the leftovers on the table.

What a pity.

Today is such a good day, you should find someone to accompany you.

"Call King Ning for me."

The little eunuch stood there obediently.

Li Li was a little helpless, thinking that the newcomers were not as clever as the old ones, and they couldn't do simple things well.

But no matter how uncomfortable you are, you will have to adapt slowly in the future.

So Li Li had a good temper and told the little eunuch again, asking him to invite Xiao Huan into the palace.

"Your Majesty," the little eunuch simply knelt down for him, "Prince Ning resigned from His Majesty half a month ago, and returned to the Southern Yunnan Palace to recuperate. Your Majesty personally allowed you to do so."

The little eunuch was afraid that he might say something wrong and lose his head, shrinking like a quail.

"I let him go?" Li Li's tone rose, as if he couldn't believe that he had done such a thing. His beautiful face showed the dull feeling that old people often have when they can't remember things. When he finally Finding clues from my mind, my brows immediately relaxed, "He has killed too many pillars of the country for me, and countless people with lofty ideals have killed him. He is afraid and wants to go back to Gou'an in southern Yunnan. I must allow him, otherwise I will The killers arranged in southern Yunnan will be wasted."

The little eunuch who was forced to hear the secret couldn't help trembling, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"I won't kill you." Li Li pulled up the little eunuch whose body was limp like tofu because of fear. The little eunuch's eyes were round and round, which was somewhat similar to Li Luo's.

Li Li laughed crazily, but his eyes were aggrieved like a child's, "I don't remember much, and I have a bad temper. If I forget where the bedroom is tomorrow, you must coax me, don't tell me I lost it."

The little eunuch was almost fooled by Li Li's weird words, and he actually blurted out, "Your Majesty, are you alright?"

This little eunuch may have just entered the palace not long ago, and his demeanor was not as stable as Toad Palace, so he looked Li Li directly in the eyes recklessly.

Li Li caught off guard and saw the pitch-black pupils of the little eunuch, which should have been his own reflection, but what was reflected on it was the face of Prince Li Yu.

Li Li took a step back, closed his eyes fiercely, and opened them again, the reflection in the little eunuch's pupils was still himself.

"It's okay, you can go." Li Li glanced at the little eunuch shyly, "I can take care of myself."

The first half of the sentence can be heard to be spoken to the little eunuch, but the second half of the sentence is more like Li Li's raving.

The little eunuch was eager to get away from the mad emperor quickly, so Xie En withdrew hurriedly.

Li Li covered his chest, held up his wine glass, and wanted to drink a glass of wine to calm his shock, but just as he was about to drink, he saw his brother Li Yu's face emerging from the ripples of the wine.

The wine glass was thrown out by Li Li, and the wine spilled all over the floor, but the glass didn't crack, it just lay on the ground.

Li Li immediately brought over the decorative sword hanging on the screen. He pulled the sword out of the scabbard, intending to chop the cup on the ground.

However, the blade of the sword that was polished as smooth as a mirror flashed across Li Li's cheek, and Li Yu's face was still reflected.

In the quiet night, the heart-piercing shouts of the emperor of the Lan Dynasty sounded, but no one dared to go in to see what happened.

Only the eunuch who cleaned up the mess on the second day saw that almost all the furniture and utensils in the hall had been kicked and smashed by Li Li.

Everyone in the palace knew that the one on the dragon chair was crazy.

Li Li didn't go to court any more, he shut himself in the palace all day long and didn't see anyone.

From winter to spring, the news from the outside world is like surging waves, crossing the high city walls outside the capital and sweeping everyone's ears.

The foolish ruler has no way and harms his brothers. King Song has raised the banner of righteousness in the land of Shu, recruiting people with lofty ideals to attack the foolish ruler together!

Ning Wang Xiaoxuan joined the camp of the rebel army, supported Song Wang Li Luo as the new emperor, and sent his troops to Beijing. Today, he has broken through 21 checkpoints in a row, and he will be able to enter the palace soon!

Wherever the rebel army went, the resistance they encountered was vulnerable. All the officials from all over the country defected, they all listened to King Ning's order and openly broke with the court.

The door of the bedroom was opened from the outside, and a beam of skylight came in. The fine dust in the air danced in the sunlight. The person sitting inside covered his face with his sleeves afraid of light, and slowly lowered his hands after his eyes got used to it. .

Li Li sat cross-legged beside a chess table in the middle of the dormitory, still holding a black chess piece in his hand, his hair was disheveled, and he was only wearing a white pajamas, which was loosely draped, revealing a pale chest skin.

If he wasn't still in the palace, what difference would there be between him like this and a prisoner on death row in the dungeon.

"You're here." Li Li squinted his eyes, looking at the shadow in the light.

"Hearing His Majesty's transmission, the guilty minister dare not delay."

Yue Qingbai saluted Li Li and was about to walk into the hall, but he only took two steps when he kicked the fragments on the ground.

It is a fragment of a bronze mirror, and the more you go inside, the more fragments there will be.

Yue Qingbai was shocked when he saw the scene in front of him——

Li Li smashed all the mirrors in the entire hall, not only that, but also those smooth utensils that could reflect people's shadows. Those that could be broken were broken, and those that couldn't were covered by a large veil.

Yue Qingbai looked at Li Li, the tyrant in the mouth of the crowd is now so thin that only a handful of bones remain.

"Your Majesty," Yue Qingbai felt distressed, "what are you doing?"

"Teacher," Li Li coughed twice, then turned his face, "See if I look exactly like Brother Huang."

Yue Qingbai stared at Li Li's face in puzzlement, Li Li was still Li Li, and he looked nothing like Li Yu.

"Let's not talk about this." Li Li hurriedly placed the black chess in his hand on the chessboard, and took out a piece of bright yellow silk from his side and handed it to Yue Qingbai.

Yue Qingbai seemed to have foreseen something, and immediately unfolded the silk, scanning the content on it.

"Your Majesty, you..."

"Teacher, I want to exile you. Once you leave the palace gate, someone will escort you to Biannan. This is what you owe me." Li Li paused, and then said, "Your family will not be implicated but moved back to your original place. This is what I owe Yue Muting."

"The guilty minister complies with the order." Yue Qingbai swayed, "The criminal minister is sorry for your majesty, and the criminal minister's daughter is also sorry for your majesty. One of your marriages saved the criminal minister's family in the case of abolishing the crown prince, but she is in power. I lost my true nature in front of my desire.”

The hand was not steady, and the bright yellow silk covered with the red seal of the jade seal fluttered onto the chessboard.

Yue Qingbai quickly picked up the silk, but saw the familiar endgame on the opened chessboard.

Yue Qingbai immediately remembered that when he taught Li Li how to play chess, he used this endgame as a guide to talk with Li Li about how to disintegrate the intertwined clan forces.

At that time, Yue Qingbai thought that he should assist a wise emperor and gradually figure it out over a 30-year period, but Li Li thought that he should cut the mess quickly and not give him a chance to breathe.

With Yue Qingbai's experience, he would certainly feel that Li Li's idea was too naive and ridiculous.

Cut the mess with a quick knife?Where is the knife?Even if this knife can cut messes, but with such intensive operations, the knife will inevitably be useless, who would be willing to make this knife?

"Teacher, it's true that I hate you, but I love Luo'er and don't want him to be alone and helpless in the future." Li Li said to Yue Qingbai calmly.

"Your Majesty!" The words had come to this point, Yue Qingbai was not a stupid person, how could he not perceive all of Li Li's intentions?

"Personal enmity is over, teacher, you come with me."

Li Li stood up, grabbed Yue Qingbai's wrist, and eagerly led him inside.

A hanging map of the territory of the Lan Dynasty was placed next to Li Li's bed, with some markings on the marching and combat routes. That route was clearly the route for the rebels to attack the imperial city.

Li Li talked about how he arranged each checkpoint so that the rebel army could be hindered the least, and he also talked about how he set up this route early on, so that the people would be affected as little as possible.

That's why the move to demote King Song to Shu, blatantly releasing news to intercept and kill King Song halfway, is to give King Song enough reason to rebel at the starting point of Li Li's plan.

As for King Ning Xiao Pun, Li Li blocked all his escape routes in the capital and southern Yunnan, in order to force him to follow King Song. Most of Xiao Pun's elite soldiers were assigned to guard the border and could not evacuate in time. Xiao Luan couldn't skip Li Luo and directly rebelled.

Yue Qingbai was horrified to find that his student was planning his own death with great enthusiasm.

When the rebel army enters the capital, the faint king will surely perish.

Because Li Li had already offended too many people, and without Xiao Lue's protection, there was absolutely no possibility of him surviving.

"Your Majesty, why did you kill those loyal ministers and cut off your own life?" Yue Qingbai sighed heavily.

"Loyal ministers? What do I want their loyalty for? They are loyal to the power and the reputation of future generations, but they are not loyal to my people. Lan Chao's luck is almost gone in the mirage they piled up with spittle!"

Li Li sneered, "However, without the support of the Liu and Huang clans, they are like flocks of sheep in panic. They can only choose to follow Luoer and support him as the new emperor. At that time, whether Luoer will be a shepherd or a hunter , it’s all up to him.”

Yue Qingbai was greatly shocked, he asked himself if he could do what Li Li did?

"Your Majesty, criminals are not as good as you."

"Teacher, I'm not as noble as you think," Li Li said quietly, "I'm just tired from work."

"I still have a list in my hand. The people on it are all capable ministers, and they have been dismissed by me just like you. The list will come to you on the road to exile."

Li Li suddenly grabbed Yue Qingbai's wrist tightly, "Teacher, it's a hard place in the south, and many people die every year. I entrust Luoer and Jiangshan to you. If you dare to die, I will ask you if you are a ghost." Kill me."

"Old minister—" Yue Qingbai knelt down and kowtowed, "Don't dare not live."
