Chapter 272

Today, a special "guest" comes to the Grand View of the back palace of Daming Palace, the emperor, Li Shimin.

The emperor came here for the first time after Yinde lived here. The Taoist nuns were flattered, but they were dismissed before they came forward to meet them.

Li Shimin's face was a little ugly. The Taoist nuns knew that it was not good, and they didn't want to touch the moldy head, so they all hid in the room.

Li Shimin went to the quiet room where the Yinde imperial concubine lived, looked at the windows and lintels that didn't fall dust, and said to himself, "I still have a habit of cleanliness."

Pushing the door, the Yinde imperial concubine was sitting on a Tuan Pu, burning a incense and reading a sutra. Her eyes closed slightly, and she almost had to caress the dust. Xuesi put it on her arm and danced gently.

"With the wind, the dust moves. It's just that the mind of Tao is not solid... " Yinde imperial concubine is like saying to herself.

Li Shimin doesn't mind that she doesn't get up to greet her. It seems that the couple of 20 years have been indifferent to these rituals in private, and they are always used to coming to the point.

"You can sit still." Li Shimin walked slowly behind her with his hands cut on his back and said.

In the extremely quiet Zen room, you can hear the embroidery needle falling to the ground. Li Shimin's words were not loud, but they were very abrupt. The quietness in the room made his words more dignified.

"What can I do?" Princess Yinde still did not look back at Li Shimin. She raised her head slightly and gazed at the statue of Laozi riding on a green ox.

Li Shimin also raised his eyes to look at the statue of Lao Tzu. He stepped forward two steps and made a bow, but he didn't look at the Yinde imperial concubine. He seemed to say: "look at the situation, have you heard all about it?"

"Of course not as much as your majesty knows." The Yin virtuous imperial concubine calmly returns a way.

"How do you feel?" Li Shimin also asked calmly.

The face of Yin de imperial concubine trembled slightly for a while, as if she was suffering from severe pain and trauma, but she tried her best to endure. She pursed her lips and said: "people from other places, don't ask common things."

"In front of me, you don't have to be hypocritical." Li Shimin snorted coldly and said. "What home are you from? My heart is still full of what you call common things. Tell me about Li you's rebellion. What's your opinion? "

The painful expression on the Yin de imperial concubine's face seemed to be a few more deep, but she still tried her best to endure, calmly said: "Qin mubai, will not participate in the rebellion."

"What did you say?" Li Shimin was greatly surprised.

"Qin mubai will not take part in the rebellion." Yinde imperial concubine used the same speed of speech and tone, the original repeated once.

"Strange." Li Shimin sneered again, "according to your temperament, at this time you must be so anxious that you want to see me most. The purpose of meeting me is to plead for your unworthy son. and. This time, even Gao Yang joined with him, so you have more reason to do so. But now that I have come to see you on my own initiative, you seem to ignore me. To talk to you, instead of pleading for Li you and excusing Gao Yang, you said such an irrelevant word. I really can't understand you any more. "

"Maybe you never understood me." Yinde imperial concubine gently closed her eyes, slowly took a long breath, trying to control her emotions.

"What do you mean?" Li Shimin's face showed a trace of sullen, more puzzled - are you kidding, a couple of 20 years. Don't you understand?

"Nothing else." "Perhaps, I have never known your majesty," said Yinde

"We've been husband and wife for 20 years, and how can you say that?" Li Shimin was annoyed and puzzled. "In your heart, I have always been your enemy who killed your father?"

The face of Yin de imperial concubine lightly trembles, in the heart seem to have been wiped by a dagger sharp blade. At first, I didn't feel pain. After a while, I realized that I had been cut a deep wound by the sharp blade of the dagger, and the blood was not flowing.

Li Shimin's words are like knives!

"Love him! Forced to use 20 years of unreserved love to resolve hatred! ——He actually mentioned it again twenty years later! "

For a moment, Yinde felt that she had lived in vain for the past 20 years In particular, now his brothers and sons and daughters are still on the opposite side of the emperor. My efforts, efforts and sacrifices in the past 20 years have all turned into nothing in an instant!

She did not speak, closed her eyes, lips trembling, tears, but very frustrated flow out.

Li Shimin is as careful as a hair. He has already noticed the change of her mood. For a moment, he was somewhat regretful. He knew that he had just been angry and that he had indeed said something wrong.

But it's impossible for him to admit his mistake.

"You are not a minister. I am not here to ask you about your judgment on the case of treason. But I want to know, what do you think of your rebellious son at the moment? " Li Shimin's tone was a little softer and said, "do you think I'm here to make fun of you? I'm not at leisure yet. But he is our two sons after all. Of course you have the right to say something. "

"I used to expect to speak more to your majesty. Now your majesty is so generous that I can speak at such a time. I feel like I don't want to say anything more. " Yinde imperial concubine is still sitting like that, letting tears flow down like broken beads without wiping them. She stifles her choking and says, "Your Majesty has his own opinions. No one needs to say more, does she?""Are you still angry with me at this time?" Li Shimin couldn't help feeling annoyed. On the contrary, he hoped that Yinde imperial concubine would be a little excited, sad or afraid, better than half dead sneering at him now.

"Not angry." Yinde imperial concubine is still calm like water, said, "sorrow is not greater than heart death. For a person with a dead heart, in fact, nothing matters. There are many things in this world that can not be changed by the way people want. For example, you'er's rebellion is a fact. Your majesty has made up his mind. Who can change the outcome? It's better not to be bothered by mediocre people than to be useless. "

"So you think so." Li Shimin nodded gently, "that's right. I have sent Li Ji to lead the troops to fight the rebellion. The results will be known in a few days. "

"It's just a villain's rebellion, and it's such a big fight. Did you see that the General Li Jun, who is invincible and cautious, is too idle? He sent him a job to do his best to get rich in the future. Yinde imperial concubine showed a sneer.

"Have you said enough?" Li Shimin was angry and said, "now, it seems that I am wrong, but I am wrong!"

"Of course it's you who are wrong." Yinde imperial concubine is not anxious, not busy, not angry, calm way, "adopted son does not teach, which fault? Will the world blame me, a half dead woman? "

"It's not your good brother, Yin Hongzhi, who has been abetting him! I should not have been soft hearted at the beginning. I listened to your plea and spared his life! " Li Shimin cheered angrily.

"Since your majesty knows, why don't you get rid of my good brother early?" Yinde imperial concubine continued to sneer and said, "on the contrary, after the event, she will come to me to resent. Is it wrong to sacrifice your life to save your brother as a sister

"Yes, you have mouth all over your body. I can't say you Li Shimin really has nothing to do with this Yinde imperial concubine who doesn't eat the needle hidden in the cotton. For so many years, they seldom get angry and quarrel, and they always respect each other. But among so many concubines in the harem, including the late empress Chang sun, no one dared to talk back to Li Shimin and make him angry. However, this Yinde imperial concubine, who has always been as gentle as water, seems to have no desire and no desire, is really more energetic, but even Li Shimin has no way to take her.

"Then why bother your majesty to come from looking for no fun?" Yin de imperial concubine light way.

"I will kill Yin Hongzhi!" Li Shimin said suddenly.

"Kill! He's earned 20 years in vain. It's time to be content. " Yin de imperial concubine is ruthless heart, almost a word of a meal of say.

"I've always hated the disrespect and disharmony between the flesh and blood, and the opposition between the walls." Li Shimin said again.

The corner of Yinde imperial concubine's mouth passed a very slight smile, and said faintly: "just like the emperor of Wude Gaozu in those years?"

"You!..." A word, like a needle, deeply pierced into Li Shimin's heart, let his mind dunjin, emerge the scenes of Xuanwu Gate. He suddenly raised his hand, really want to slap the face of Yin de imperial concubine happily.

But at the moment, the Yinde imperial concubine didn't have half the expression of fear and fear. Instead, she turned around with a smile. On her beautiful face, the beautiful eyes with tears were looking at him for a moment.

Li Shimin snorted, put down his hand and turned his head in anger.

"It's just you. How dare you speak to me like that

The Yin de imperial concubine didn't think so. Her expression recovered and she said: "Your Majesty is here to pass on a cavity of anger to me to vent. Or see me in a daze and panic to beg for your pardon, right? I'm sorry to disappoint your majesty. It's not surprising that you'er will be today, as we all know. Since I was a child, who, as a father, and those close ministers around you, really regarded him as a prince? Who didn't first think that his mother was the daughter of the Yin family when he looked at him? In other words, an adult is not subject to such discrimination and prejudice, let alone a child? Of all the children, your majesty has always been the one who dislikes you son the least. Is that true? Otherwise, why was he the first one to be appointed as an official? Without parents and without control, you'er is changing day by day. As a mother, I can do nothing. So far, what else can I say? "

Li Shimin was speechless for a long time. He knew that Yinde imperial concubine was always as gentle as water and never said a word more, but she was as bright as a mirror and never confused. What she said today is ugly, but it's true.

And at the moment, they are talking in the name of their parents, not emperors and concubines. Otherwise, it would be hard for him to hear such a big truth.

After a long time, Li Shimin seemed to have some helplessness and said somewhat sullenly: "I'm really not a good father? The prince lost his virtue, Gao Yang refused to marry, and the king of Qi rebelled. Who will be next? "

"You are a good emperor. But, by no means, a good father. " Yinde imperial concubine said simply.

"Why?" Li Shimin asked aloud.

"Because..." Yin de Fei chuckled and said, "you are too excellent, great and powerful. Your children are born under your strong shadow and pressure. What's more, you always have the prince's hope for your children, and you are very strict with them. I hope they all become as outstanding as you. Is that possible? After all, children are children. The best way to let them grow up is to let nature take its course. ""There's something wrong with expecting a son to become a dragon?" Li Shimin was very puzzled and helpless.

"You're right. Wrong, you're an emperor. " Yin de imperial concubine says.

"Damn it Li Shimin was a little annoyed. He hit himself in the thigh.

Yinde princess with a smile gently shook her head: "even I can't communicate with your majesty, not to mention your children who are scared when they see you? Once so, three times so, so gradually away. The greater the hope you give, the greater the pressure. The more they want to break free from these shackles, the more rebellious they are. So you can imagine everything. "

"That is to say, if there is a Li you today, there will be a second and a third in the future?" Li Shimin angrily stares at Yinde imperial concubine and says.

"Your Majesty is going to make an example. Naturally, no one else will dare to do it." The cold way of Yin de imperial concubine. "But I'm afraid your Majesty's long cherished wish for success will not be achieved."

"I don't believe it!"

"No family, no bets."

“……” Li Shimin choked and said, "I'm going to catch Li you in the capital. In front of you, I'll ask him what he thinks in his heart and what he's obsessed with!"

"There's no chance." Yin de imperial concubine light way, "Your Majesty, can see at most.". You er's The body. "

"You're bullshit Li Shimin scolded, "I gave Li Ji a secret order to catch him alive!"

Yinde imperial concubine's beautiful lips, gently tilted up, outlined a cruel and bitter smile: "so, you don't know your son at all."

"Well, let's wait and see!" Li Shimin snorted unconvinced, then suddenly turned his head to look at the Yinde imperial concubine and said, "why did you just say that Qin mubai would not take part in the rebellion? Do you know me better than I did? "

"No. I only know Gao Yang better than you. Also know Gao Yang's love. " Yin de imperial concubine light way. "The man Gao Yang falls in love with will never betray or do stupid things."

"Because of this?"

"Isn't that enough?"

Li Shimin nodded thoughtfully: "what you mean is that ling'er was hijacked by Li you and Yin Hongzhi, not actively rebellious. Li you and Yin Hongzhi just use ling'er's identity to stir up trouble and create confusion, right? "

"So I said, your majesty has already made up his mind, so why bother. Condescend to this cold Taoist temple and ask for no fun? " Yinde imperial concubine sneers.

"Hum!" Li Shimin angrily stood up, "I really want to kill you!"

"As you please. It's always the royal rule that mothers value their children and mothers die, isn't it? " The reaction of Yin de imperial concubine is calm enough.

Li Shimin's heart, add a block, almost angry to hit people.

"I don't agree with you Li Shimin humorously dropped this sentence, ready to go out. When he left, he said, "live well for me, until Li you kneels down here and makes it clear face to face!"

With a faint smile, Yinde looked up at the statue of Laozi, then closed her eyes and did not speak.

Li Shimin walked out of the door with a long gasp. Now, even he himself is surprised, how today he will be so easily angry, so gaffe.

"Fortunately, she is not an outsider. Now? I can only tell her these words and things. Ah... " Li Shimin looked back at the wooden door of the room and walked away.

In the room, the Yinde imperial concubine lit several oil lamps, stroked a yellow ancient book with one hand shaking slightly, and said to herself, "ling'er, mubai, I've tried my best. I hope you take care You son, in the afterlife, don't be born in the imperial family

……

Hanjiang River, on the Shenyu spaceship in front of Xiangyang military port.

Qin mubai, dressed in military uniform, was sitting on the bow deck. Slightly squinting at the light waves floating on the river in autumn, the expression is grim. The sword, which was given to him when he was honored as a hundred riding envoys, has not yet come out of its sheath. At this moment, he was untied by Qin mubai with his scabbard. The scabbard was sharp on the deck. Qin mubai put the palm of his right hand on the handle of the knife, attached his left hand to his right hand, and supported the knife with both hands. Occasionally, sharp lights flashed in his eyes.

Pang Fei and some generals of the military family stood behind him. They didn't know what he was thinking, and no one dared to ask.

Just yesterday, Dengzhou sent a "lobbyist" with a letter from Li you. He overtly crossed the river to persuade King Wu and Qin mubai to "join hands in the grand event and accomplish great things together". That's all right. The lobbyist specially said that Princess Gaoyang missed general Qin very much. She looked across the river and looked forward to the door. She missed tea and food day and night. She only hoped that Qin mubai would cross the river soon and get together with him.

This is a naked "threat"!

The lobbyist naturally has no good end. Although Li Ke and Qin mubai did not tear him to pieces by themselves, they connived at Yuwen Hongtai, who was hot tempered. They beat him to the ground and rushed him back to Jiangbei.Since then, Qin Mu Bai's face has never looked good. Pang Fei and others dare not touch him.

For two days in a row, Qin mubai spent all his time on the boat. Every day, he sat with his knife. He didn't know what he was waiting for and what he was looking forward to. They didn't dare to ask, so they had to wait with him.

At this time, a very fast and agile shuttle boat came skating on the river and rowed under the big warship to report: "newspaper! There are two big ships in front of the water sentry. They are heading for baguidu! "

"Can we find out who is coming?" Pang Fei came forward and asked.

"Both ships were robbed and questioned by our navy. On one of the ships came Imperial Envoys of the imperial court; on the other came Li daozong, king of Jiangxia! "

"Here it is Qin mubai's eyes, which had been slightly closed, suddenly opened, and the corners of his eyes were shining.

"I see! Go back and send orders for the brothers of the water army to escort them to the eight ghosts ferry! " Pang Fei, the commander of the water army, ordered.

"Yes! ——”The shuttle boat rowed away again. After months of strict training, the white wave army is now well-trained, and seems to be worthy of the title of "cunning dragon in the waves".

"General, how can the king of Jiangxia return?" Pang Fei went back to Qin mubai and asked.

Qin Mu Bai blinked his eyes: "if he comes, he has his own reason. Bring him to my boat. In addition. It's not necessary to bring the imperial censor directly to the assassin's palace. "

"Yes." Pang Fei didn't dare to ask more, so he went to do it himself.

Qin mubai held the handle tightly with his hands, took a deep breath, and then spit it out. He said in secret: "it's time!" Linger, wait for me

……

Soon afterwards, two large ships sailed to Xiangyang wharf one after another. One of them landed at baguidu, where a group of officials from the imperial court kept on going to the censor's residence in Xiangzhou; the other, after several miles, turned directly into the military port of the military residence in Xiangzhou.

Li daozong stood in the bow with his hands cut back. Looking at the ships and military capacity in the military harbor, a face with sharp edges and corners, full of fortitude and seriousness, appeared with a smile: "Qin mubai, a real general!"

Seeing the coming ship, Qin mubai got up and went to the side of the ship to greet him with his fists

"You're all right!" Li daozong stepped on the board between the two ships, and looked at Qin mubai with a smile: "it seems that you are well prepared."

Qin mubai said with a smile: "the Lord has gone back and forth. What's his intention?"

"Of course, it's not about your rebellion." Li daozong said in a loud voice like a joke.

Qin mubai waved his hand to repel the soldiers, and said, "the king must have some advice when he comes here?"

"No Li daozong answered very simply, and said. "I like young people, but that doesn't mean I like to be a teacher. Make your own decisions and deal with your own troubles. I'm here to give you something in my own name. "

"The Lord has come back thousands of miles to give gifts. The friendship alone is priceless." Qin mubai said, "how to live, the last general?"

"It's yours, it's yours. But I think it's more appropriate to give it to you at this time. " Li daozong took off his sword and sent it to Qin mubai, "take it!"

"This is..." Qin mubai was surprised.

Li daozong gazed at the knife. His eyes were like looking at his friends who had been with him for many years, or his brothers who shared weal and woe. With a smile, he said, "you forget Guiyi Dao."

"Oh?..." Qin mubai was slightly surprised, and remembered the scene of fighting with Li daozong when he was still in Jinzhou Jiangxia palace. At that time, he had a match with Chen Yan and Li daozong. Chen Yan tied with him, but Li daozong said that she had some reservation and said that her skill was inferior to others, so he gave her a "heartless sword". At the beginning, he was no match for Li daozong. Although he intended to present "Guiyi Dao", he didn't want it. He also said that if he could be defeated one day, he would take the knife again.

"Wang Ye, do you want to compete with the last general?" Qin mubai couldn't help laughing.

"I don't want to fight with you now." Li daozong also laughed, but with deep meaning. He said, "to send a knife is to send a knife. There is no other meaning."

"Well, thank you for your gift." Qin Mu Bai clenched his teeth and nodded his head seriously. He took the knife with both hands.

It's heavy. On the scabbard, there are traces of cutting and chiseling, which are neither gorgeous nor high-grade, but with a sense of desolation and simplicity. The blade is still hidden in the wood sheath. But it's all powerful!

"What a knife Before Qin Mu Bai drew his sword, he couldn't help praising, "it's a good sword that has killed people, seen blood, and has Lingqi Gang Feng!"

"That's good. You know what you're looking for." Li daozong said with a satisfied smile, "the knife on your waist is gorgeous and beautiful. It must be of great value and unusual origin. However, good looks may not be easy to use. But the king's sword of righteousness is for killing and beheading. A knife is a knife. Why is it so flashy? Now, what you need is a knife. Not beautiful decorations! "

Qin Mu Bai's heart, seems to have a rhinoceros floating flash, one of the mind to wake up!Need a killer's knife, isn't it beautiful? Li daozong obviously has something to say. He is not the kind of old man who is idle and bored. He will really go back and forth for no reason in such an extraordinary period, only to send a knife.

"What he said is that I should be cruel when I should be cruel, and I should kill what I should kill!" Does the name of Dao "Guiyi" also mean to tell me that if it is difficult to have both friendship and righteousness, righteousness is the most important thing? ——Is he asking me to wipe out my family

Seeing that Qin mubai was lost in thought for a moment, Li daozong only nodded his head and smile and said, "I don't want to stay here for a long time. Don't take a cold arrow. Goodbye, take care of yourself

Then, without looking back, he went to his boat. As soon as he got on the deck, he waved: "don't see each other off - set sail!"

"Thank you for your sword!" Qin mubai stood by the side of the boat, holding his knife and clasping his fists.

The boat started immediately. Li daozong, as he did when he came, stood on the side of the boat with his back cut and hands cut. He looked at Qin mubai with deep meaning, nodded and smiled, and said, "I will come back to Xiangyang in the spring of next year. At that time, I hope you and linger can go fishing with me. "

Qin mubai nodded seriously: "it's a deal. I'm not going to break my promise! "
