General Chu

Early that morning, guests came to Li's residence.Li Jinghua came from the backyard wearing a thick shirt, even though he was dressed enough and walked a few steps against the wind, he still couldn't help coughing twice.

Seeing this, several guests hurriedly got up to greet them, nodded respectfully and said, Li Shaoqing, excuse me.

"It doesn't matter, Lu Ye must have something important to come here, please tell me."

Everyone has come, and everyone has already sat in Li's residence, but at this moment, facing Li Jinghua's inquiry, everyone looked at each other and fell silent.

Li Jinghua understood it, then raised his hand and spread the chessboard on the table, and said, I saw a chess game a few days ago and couldn't figure it out, why don't you help me think about it?

Everyone was silent for a long time, then Lan Tailing came out and sat opposite Li Jinghua.

In the morning, the chessboard was still in chaos, and finally someone among the few spectators couldn't bear it anymore and said, Li Shaoqing, I didn't come here today to play chess.

Li Jinghua didn't seem to understand the turmoil, he concentrated on the chess game, twitched his fingers, and dropped the white piece.

I don't know whether it was intentional or not, after following for a while, Lan Tailing suddenly raised his head and asked Li Jinghua, the general of the northern border army has entered the capital, has Li Shaoqing seen it?

"I've been ill for the past few days and never entered the palace. What's the matter?"

"Li Shaoqing, if I say that pulling Mo Wen off the stage is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, will you join?"

Li Jinghua, who had been expressionless all this time, suddenly raised his head, raised his eyebrows, and sighed quietly. He said, General Mo was loyal to the country and went through life and death without offending everyone.Even if he risked the world's shame and almost became a male queen, wouldn't he have succeeded?The queen turned into a prince also relied on everyone.

"Li Shaoqing, I think you know better than us what the king is like. As long as Mo Wen is still alive, the country will not be stable."

Someone behind couldn't help laughing, and interjected, Lan Tailing, you got it wrong, according to what you said, the one who messed up the world is the king, don't ask Mo Wen.

Lan Tailing didn't even look at the person behind him, but his face darkened a bit.He was silent for a while, and then said to Li Jinghua, Li Shaoqing, the stability of the country cannot be determined by just one person's wishes, I think you understand what I mean.

Li Jinghua paused for a moment, put down the white rice in his hand, picked a dead leaf from the flower branch beside the table and threw it into the teacup.

"The game has been decided," he said.

Lan Tailing was taken aback for a moment, and then he heard the person in front of him add that the two cups of tea on the edge of the table and the medicine I put in when I just threw my sleeves together are highly poisonous. You didn't drink it at the beginning of the chess game, and you don't need to drink it now. So I threw the dirt in.

"What do you mean?"

"This game is called traveling alone, no matter which way you move it, it is a dead game. And what is so frightening about it is that no one who has been invited to participate in the chess game has survived since ancient times." Li Jinghua stood up and walked to the compartment behind him, Pull the door open, get out of the way to get out of sight.

The person sitting upright on the chair, dressed in green clothes, was Mo Wen who they kept saying was about to be put to death.

Everyone was shocked, for a moment they even forgot to run away or say something to defend themselves.

"You have done this repeatedly, does he know?"

Those who played chess and those who watched chess were silent for a while.Someone raised his head and glanced at Mo Wen, then looked around in a panic for a while and found that no one was moving, then bravely said, "I don't know, of course I don't know!"

Lan Tailing frowned fiercely when he heard the words, and asked, who is the prince referring to?

Mo Wen got up, walked forward slowly, leaned closer, and asked in a low voice, did he acquiesce?

Everyone daring to come today is daring to prepare for death for the world, but they didn't expect that the seemingly well-planned plan would fall apart so quickly.

Lan Tailing still had an unplaced chess piece in his hand. He stared at the chessboard for a while, and finally put the chess piece back into the chess box.Turning around, he just bumped into the neon sword on Mo Wen's waist. He paused and said, winner and loser, today's game is completely defeated, I will admit it.But my lord, I don't believe anyone can cover the sky with one hand.

Mo Wen stood with the backlight, the shadow cast by his figure just enveloped the entire chessboard, he scanned the people in front of him condescendingly, and then reached out to help Lan Tailing straighten his hair crown.

"What kind of person am I? Everyone has a decision in their minds. If you insist on thinking that if I don't die, there will be endless troubles, then just set up a trap. I'll wait in the palace."

When they came, everyone vowed to push the most powerful minister of the dynasty from the high platform to hell. When they left, they all walked out of the yard with their heads down, not daring to stay for a second, for fear that a moment of hesitation would cause the people behind them to change their minds.

Li Jinghua held the door and stood aside watching everyone go away, and said in a low voice, no matter how you feel, I want to help you.

Mo Wen was speechless, and left in a hurry.Walking to the courtyard, he suddenly remembered something, turned his head, and bowed deeply.

"and many more!"

"what happened?"

"I'm going to enter the palace soon, is the prince too?"

Passing Chang'an Road on the way into the palace, Mo Wen suddenly remembered something and said, I thought you would be the one who took the lead among the courtiers who wanted me to die.

Li Jinghua smiled and said, although the prince is not completely selfless, he is not a traitor after all.God of War didn't say that he could find one if he found one, so how could he frame him at will.

"It turns out that there are still people who are willing to speak up for me. It's just that the world likes to recognize me as the regent's careerist. It sounds a little strange to you to say that."

The strong sunlight shone on Li Jinghua's face through the curtain of the carriage. He squinted his eyes and said softly, "If you want to complete his world, I will protect it for you."

Changfeng made a whirring sound in his ears, Mo Wen nodded and answered a thank you, but he didn't hear the second half of the sentence.

Mo Wen is different from Li Jinghua. Li Jinghua is affirmed every step he takes from the bottom to the top, but Mo Wen, every step is difficult and dangerous.He also wanted to have another close friend, but it was hard to guarantee that what was in front of him was not a game in the middle.

Xu Liwenyuan was reviewing the memorial at the side of the case.Someone opened the door and came in, bringing the whole hall under the sunlight. He subconsciously raised his hand to block the sunlight, then half-closed his eyes and looked at the person coming. After seeing that the person in front of him was Mo Wen, he paused, feeling like it was a dream.

He only thought it was a dream, but the person in the dream knelt down in front of him, without saying a word, and only raised the tiger amulet high above his head.

Xu Liwenyuan called him in a daze, Mingrong.

He wanted to speak well, but there was sand in his throat.

"Mingrong, I didn't want to accept your Tiger Talisman."

Mo Wen raised his head, looked straight into his eyes, and said in his mouth, I don't believe that the generals of the Northern Frontier Army who haven't been back to Beijing for 20 years are just a coincidence, and I don't believe that those people have such courage. As for how much you know, I dare not think about it.

Xu Liwenyuan stopped suddenly when he wanted to pull the hand of the person in front of him.He turned around, kicked down the desk behind him, and the memorial pen and ink poured all over the floor.

"If you hadn't proclaimed yourself commander-in-chief, if you hadn't led the troops back to Beijing, nothing would have happened!"

"Just this one item, is it enough for me to be nailed to the rack of shame? Is it enough for you to dirty your hands every time you plan?"

"It's very cold at a high place, and you can't control every step you take in a high position. Does Uncle Wang understand?" He learned to protect himself too early, and he knew that to be a king must not only be kind and forbearing, but also have means and ruthlessness.And he wants to be a good emperor.Throughout the ages, whoever ascended to the throne of God at last has a mountain of bones under his feet and a river of blood.

Mo Wen got up, straightened the desk, presented the Tiger Talisman respectfully, and said in his mouth, probably you are right, you are always right.

It was only when the people in front of him had gone away and the sunlight was blocked outside the door again that Xu Liwenyuan came back to his senses, looked up and saw Li Jinghua beside him.

"Your Majesty doesn't have to be like this."

"The lonely king thought you understood me."

Li Jinghua looked at him straight and said, I understand, I understand what the king is thinking better than anyone else in the world.I know that the prince is in your heart, and I don't want to let go no matter what.But I also know that you are the chosen one and born for Jiangshan. In your heart, no matter how deep your affection is for Jiangshan, it is worthless.

Xu Liwenyuan raised his hand to stroke the broken hair on his forehead, and then picked up all the memorials on the ground.He seemed to have aged a lot, and his face was full of fatigue.

"Li Qing, anyone who said this today would be dead in Chang'an Road tomorrow."

"The humble minister is just relying on his own usefulness to say a few words boldly. If the king doesn't want to hear it, the humble minister will not say anything."

It wasn't until Mo Wen walked out of Chu Palace along the palace wall that he felt a dull pain in his chest.He pressed his chest for a while and then spat out a mouthful of black blood.

If it wasn't for the recurrence of his old illness today, he would have forgotten that he was still sick and hadn't recovered.After he stepped into the palace, the imperial physician arrived, and the diagnosis was only four words: urgent blood attack heart.

Ming Shuai of the Tiger Devouring Army, the invincible God of War of Dachu really fell this time.When he was sick and dazed, he felt the coldness on his forehead. When he opened his eyes, there was a familiar figure beside the bed.

"Chenfeng, you haven't been to my house for a long time, it's been a long time." As he spoke, he subconsciously pulled the person in front of him into his arms.

Xu Liwenyuan pushed the man back, replaced him with an ice pack, and coaxed him not to make trouble.

After a lot of tossing, Mo Wen became sober. He stared at the bed curtain for a while, then stumbled off the bed, knelt down at Xu Liwenyuan's feet, and said, begging the king to show mercy and grant his minister a seclusion.

"Give me a reason to let go."

"Because, because it is really stupid to believe that a person in a high position is really stupid, and it is even more stupid to believe that as long as the true feelings are true enough, you can stay together forever. The concubine mother is a lesson from the past."

Xu Liwenyuan stood two steps away from Mo Wen and stared at the burnt Mo Wen. He opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything. He was dressed in black and gold-woven robes, showing his majesty.

Five years, from the time when Mo Wen held the young man's hand to help him take the position, it has only been five years now, and the people in front of him have become strangers.
