Reincarnation of the powerful minister

Longquan was ordered to lead another team, and went to Zhengdong Fang according to the location pointed out by Su Yan.

The rest of Tengxiang Guards escorted Shengjia to Zhengxifang.Teng Xiangwei's horse traveled fast, and Su Yan's bloody BMW "Bajixiang" was even faster, and even arrived nearly a quarter of an hour earlier than the main force.Zhu Helin was worried, and drove the horsepower of "Chi Xiafei" to ten, and followed Su Yan closely.

Along the way, there were shop soldiers rushing to put out the fire and people looking around in panic. Su Yan silently calculated the distance between the fire point and the central axis, then turned his head and shouted to Zhu Helin, "Turn right ahead, on Dizangsi Street!"

When we arrived at the intersection, we saw thick smoke rising behind the houses on both sides of the road, and the Ksitigarbha Temple not far away was even more flames rising.Zhu Helin ordered: "Surround the entire street, block the entrances and exits, and don't escape an arsonist!"

Thousands of Tengxiang Wei Tiqi and the commander of the Xicheng soldiers and horses who came over after hearing the news immediately blocked the two ends of the narrow streets and alleys, even the small alleys and bridges between the houses were full of soldiers. Organize the people to fetch water to put out the fire, while guarding against death, allowing entry and not exiting.

Su Yan vaguely heard the sound of a piano.He listened attentively, and drove his horse away following the sound.Zhu Helin motioned for the guards to follow, and before walking too far, the group saw a man in white clothes sitting in the ancient pine and piano pavilion outside the gate of the Dizang Temple.

Su Yan recognized Mr. He at a glance.The other party didn't seem to have any intention of hiding. Amidst the sound of burning and firefighting, he still played his "Feng Lei Yin" by himself. The thunder, the thunder, and the showers are pouring, but it fits with the chaos around.

"Pretending!" Zhu Helin waved his hand disdainfully, signaling Teng Xiangwei to come forward and round up.Su Yan reminded him: "Perhaps the other party really has a backhand."

"Mr. Crane, I still know a little bit about this person. Even if he is at the end of the road, he has to go out of his way. With this posture right now, I guess he wants to negotiate terms with others, and he must hold his hand. A few bargaining chips." Su Yan thought for a while, and then said, "It just so happens that I also have a lot of questions, and I want to ask him exactly."

Mr. He had fought against Jin Yiwei before, and Zhu Helin knew that this man was ordinary in skill, but his internal strength was extraordinary.However, even the so-called "ordinary" skills can easily take dozens of Su Yan's lives in one move.Therefore, he grabbed Su Yan's wrist and ordered: "You are not allowed to go there! Write down what you want to interrogate, and I will send someone to deal with it."

The sound of the piano stopped, and Mr. He greeted calmly: "Lord Su, it's been a long time. It's rare to meet again under the moon. Why don't you come and have a seat and say goodbye." He glanced at Zhu Helin again, "If you are jealous, let The guards put their swords on Yu's neck."

"Let's see what kind of medicine he sells in the gourd." Su Yan whispered, twisting his restrained wrist, and holding Zhu Helin's hand instead, "I think Mr. He's suggestion is good. He used the aggressive method to lure me to go to bed alone. Before, I did not follow his wishes, so come, put on five or six or seven or eight blades, and put him on his shoulders."

Zhu Helin was held hands in public, his heart was full of joy, he smiled and said: "Didn't you hear what Mr. Su Ge said?"

Immediately, the imperial guards rushed into the Qin Pavilion and put the blade on Mr. He's neck. Because the snow-clothed black hair in the middle of the sword was black and white, it looked like a sesame glutinous rice ball with a lot of silver chopsticks at first glance.

Mr. He took a deep breath of depression, and said to Su Yan, "Master Su can rest assured now."

Of course, Su Yan was more relieved, let go of Zhu Helin's hand, turned over and got off the horse, walked up a few stone steps, and sat on the stone pier opposite the stone platform.As the Son of Heaven, Zhu Helin couldn't just sit and talk with the rebels at will, lest he lose his national dignity, so he drove his horse forward under the guard of many attendants, stopped a few feet outside the pavilion, took the carved bow in his hand, and put the arrow in the Playing with the fingers ready to go.

Mr. He took down the lyre from the stone platform and laid it on his knees. He heard Su Yan ask, "How did you get into the capital? How did you bring in so much black oil?"

He plucked the strings casually, and said: "No matter how strong a city is, there are still unknown gaps, such as... waterways. As for the black oil, there is no need to bring it separately, it has already been in the capital. Didn't the court still wantonly carry it last year?" Search the secret passage left by my vacuum sect, do you think there is not a single omission?"

Su Yan took a deep breath—I don't know how much poison is left in the tunnel of the Vacuum Sect!Previously, due to the change of the emperor's throne, external troubles and internal troubles, there was no time to conduct a thorough search. Now it seems that the entire Liting in the capital should be swept and cleaned thoroughly.

"Why are you telling me?"

"Because I want you to know that even if the player loses, the Vacuum Sect still has its way of survival. It is much more difficult to eradicate a sect than a force, because we are nourished by faith. As long as people's heart As long as suffering and supplication, desire and greed remain, sects will never die."

Su Yan had to admit that what he said made some sense, but Mr. He shouldn't spit out this truth: "Don't confuse the Vacuum Sect with other sects, you are a cult. The cult must be eradicated, and it will definitely be eradicated."

Mr. He smiled: "So, there is no room for peace talks between us? If you are so narrow-minded, how can Da Ming negotiate with Bei Mo?"

Hearing that he involved Altan, Su Yan was a little annoyed, and sneered: "Mr. He is too flattering of himself! In the diplomatic relations between countries, each has its own plans, and the plans can be resolved through negotiation without too much conflict. What is your vacuum religion? , just silverfish."

"But it was the silverfish you mentioned that helped Emperor Taizu establish the great inscription." Mr. He raised his hand and pointed to the southeast direction, "There is the place where the leader of Wenxiang was martyred. Taizu showed his body to the public for three days Afterwards, it was burned down and the ashes were buried under the tower of the Ksitigarbha Temple to be suppressed forever."

It was only then that Su Yan understood why Mr. He chose this Ksitigarbha Temple as his last resort.

Emperor Taizu may have failed the leader of Wenxiang, but he did not fail the people of the world.Su Yan said unmoved: "Wen Xiang and Taizu took advantage of each other. After a big event, if the Vacuum Sect is willing to be controlled by the court and become an orthodox religion that persuades people to be good, the Emperor Taizu may not tolerate him. I have already I have asked people who know the inside story of the past. Wen Xiang wants to build a country where politics and religion are united, so that everyone in the country believes in religion. Anyone who does not believe will be labeled a heretic. He wants to unify the thoughts of the people of the country and arm them with fanatical beliefs In the whole country, Emperor Taizu would naturally not agree. The political views of the two became farther and farther apart, and eventually turned into a life-and-death conflict.

"This kind of story of changing from a comrade-in-arms to an enemy is always embarrassing to tell, but I agree with Emperor Taizu's approach. So Mr. He, no matter how you talk about lotus flowers, it won't work here in my Su Qinghe."

Mr. He sighed: "If Yu is willing to give up the great wish of the leader of Wenxiang, and just wants to turn the Vacuum Sect into a sect recognized by the court, so that the people will voluntarily believe in it? I am willing to personally revise the treasured scriptures. The court will also benefit from it. Mr. Su is so intelligent and extraordinary, he should know the power of faith, which can make the people more patient in suffering, and make them more tame in severe situations."

This is a blatant surrender, and it's almost gone - from now on, the Vacuum Sect will be a tube of anesthetic in the hands of the imperial court.

Su Yan also smiled: "It's a big mistake! I want to save the people of Daming from suffering, not to endure difficulties; to rule the country with righteous laws, not to tame the people to tyranny. You and I The ideas are fundamentally at odds with each other, and there is no room for integration. Mr. Crane, you should completely give up on this idea! Frankly explain the dangers you left behind and the backhands you arranged, and maybe you can still help yourself Fight for a reduced sentence."

Mr. He sighed, shook his head and said, "What a pity, what a pity... I thought, at least you, Su Qinghe, could understand."

"I understand," Su Yan said in a deep voice, "but I don't accept it! Because I don't want to take the shortcut of drinking poison to quench my thirst. No matter how difficult the road to governing the country is, I have a group of like-minded partners who will seek together with me. This does not include you .Mr. Crane, let’s get caught without a fight, and at least lose decently.”

Mr. Crane looked down at the stone platform in front of him.The stone platform is made of a complete piece of bluestone, on which a chessboard was engraved by an unknown monk. The criss-crossing dents are like the latitude and longitude of the sky and the earth.

"...Yu Ai talked with his hands, thinking that there is no one in the world who can enjoy himself with him, until he met King Ning Zhu Tanluo.

"King Ning played a wonderful chess move, and the power of layout is still higher than that of Yu. Talking with him, Yu loses more than wins.

"In the beginning, we were just chess friends. Then one day, when he got drunk, he confided to me the truth that had been covered up for 30 years..."

On the night of the remnant spring, the moonlight is like water and silver, covering a wilderness after the war.

King Ning leaned on his long sword and knelt on the ground, panting with difficulty, and beside him was a horse that had exhausted its horsepower and was foaming at the mouth.His 15 secret army was almost completely defeated by the cavalry of the [-] Jingbei Army, and there was no way to recover.

And the reason why he is still alive today is also because he has half the same blood as the commander of the Jingbei Army, Yu Wang Zhu Jincheng.

He vaguely recalled that when they were very young, before their mothers Mo Shi and Qin Shi had completely turned against each other for the position of concubine, Zhu Jincheng also called him brother.

Now, they continue this hatred, follow the mother's old path, and become enemies of life and death.

... No, he is the only one who continues this hatred.Zhu Jincheng looked at him with no personal grudges, and even a bit of bewilderment and regret.

"I really didn't expect that the chess player would be you." King Yu approached step by step, holding the long spear upside down. It took years of painstaking planning to collude with cults, rebellious armies and northern barbarians to rebel. What exactly was the plan? That dragon chair in the picture? How long can you sit on it? Why do you need to change a milk doll when your butt is not hot? His foundation has harmed the people of the world."

King Ning coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood: "Then you don't want to be imprisoned in the capital as a well-clothed prince, and you insist on returning to the battlefield, what are you trying to do?"

King Yu scoffed disdainfully: "Hugh has to compare me with you!"

"Indeed, you are the hero and God of War in the mouths of the people, but after tonight, I will become a traitor accused by thousands of people and scolded by the people, recorded in the history books, and become the laughing stock of future generations." Is what is recorded really the truth? You should have read our father—Emperor Xianzu’s biography, do you remember how my biological mother died?"

King Yu recalled it for a while, and said: "When Emperor Father was King Qin, the side concubine Mo framed my mother, Princess Qin, in an attempt to restore the throne, which caused my third brother Zhu Jinxuan to die young, thus offending Emperor Father, and died of depression in a prison. .”

"Ha, ha ha ha..." King Ning laughed wildly, coughing and panting while laughing, and the blood foam overflowing from the corner of his mouth wiped more and more, "I said, what is recorded in the history books is not necessarily the truth. The truth is hidden in my heart." What is the truth for 30 years, I might as well tell you now——

"Your third brother, it was your mother, who has the legacy of Empress Wu, who heard from the medical officer that he would have sequelae even if he recovered from the disease, so she deliberately stopped the medicine and died. My mother did make Zhu Jinxuan sick, but she didn't kill him.

"My mother didn't die because of depression. She was strangled to death by your mother Qin with a foot of white silk. Qin did it herself, and I was five years old hiding in the closet. Watched the whole thing with my own eyes.

"Mr. Qin completely blamed my mother for the pain of losing her son and the heart of regret, but has she ever thought that she is not the only one who has children in the world? At that time, I watched my mother's face gradually become Purple red, swollen skin, protruding eyeballs, I covered my mouth tightly, not daring to cry, not daring to shout...Because my mother looked at me, she saw me through the gap in the closet, she looked at me with a ghostly face Make silent last words - 'don't cry, don't make a sound, forget about it all'.

"How could I forget? This scene has been in my dreams every night for 30 years, and it has never disappeared before my eyes."

After hearing this, King Yu frowned, and heaved a sigh of relief: "So you hate my mother deeply, and you also hate her sons and grandsons."

"Lian... belt?" King Ning sneered, "It sounds as if Zhu Jinkui is so innocent. Didn't my only brother Xin Wang personally order the family to be ransacked?" He slid down slowly with his sword on the ground On the dead wood and rocks, "I don't think that Zhu Jinkai is so despicable. If it were me, I would also uproot the weeds. After all, it's still the same eight words-the winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. All the principles in the world come from it.”

King Yu said: "In this world, there are not only victory and defeat, but also right and wrong, what can be done and what can't be done. Even if one day in the future I am defeated in the battlefield, and the horse leather shrouds me back, I will have no resentment in my heart, because seeking benevolence will lead to benevolence, and death will be deserved. And you Well, Zhu Tanluo, is there anything in your life that you didn't do for yourself?"

King Ning thought about it for a long time, then shook his head and said, "No. For revenge and to subvert Zhu Jinkai and his son's world, I can use anyone and sacrifice anyone, including the only blood left by my brother, King Xin."

"You mean Su Xiaojing? Is he really the posthumous son of King Xin?"

"...That's not important anymore. I have been keen on playing chess all my life. Maybe I could have been an immortal chess player. I could write a book and write a book about it. I have a school of my own and leave a mark in the history books. Now that I have come here Every step is my own choice and choice, and I have nothing to regret."

King Yu said: "You really don't repent when you are about to die. Anyway, no matter what path you take, it is a kind of dignity to die without regrets or fear. I don't advise you to turn back."

King Ning said: "I won't kill myself, and I don't want to be escorted back to Beijing for trial. I want you to kill me here."

"Want to rely on me?" Yu Wanglang laughed a few times, "I have countless ghosts, and I won't be unable to sleep if I have one more of you."

"That's just right, your lance hasn't drunk the blood of your siblings yet, right? I'll fight for you. Some years later, when Zhu Helin can't tolerate you, you have to remember the blood on the lance tonight."

King Ning turned his back to him, straightened his clothes, and sat upright.

King Yu raised the tip of the spear, and the sharp blade reflected cold light in the moonlight.He seems to be thinking about something, and it seems that he just has an indifference that has already looked down on human life.
