emperor

It is still hard to let go of the old things from the past.

Xie Yi wasn't emotional, and the emperor was sincere, did His Majesty really know who and what he was waiting for?

The light in the Hall of Mental Cultivation was a bit dimmer than usual.

"I see you, Your Majesty."

The emperor waved his hand, and Xie Yi got up accordingly. He walked to a place a little closer to the emperor and stood still.

The emperor's hands were thin and bony, well-proportioned and slender, like a pair of jade chopsticks, it was hard to tell whether they were beautiful or not.

Those hands have picked flowers for Xie Yi, inscribed words, carved seals, knotted concentric buttons, planted acacia trees, and approved the booklets year after year, giving pointers to the country, and doing what the emperor should do. .

How many days and nights passed, a seedling sucked the rain, dew, and sunshine, and grew into a big tree with luxuriant branches and leaves. Those who often sat under the tree had gray hair, and the inside was as dry as the bark. The concentric buttons hanging on the tree When it is old, replace it with a new one, and when the new one is old, replace it with a new one.

Until the tree died, the fate followed.

Xie Yi smelled the faint smell of medicine, his eyes dropped, the emperor turned his head and coughed lightly twice, a few traces of blood rose on his pale cheeks.

The emperor was ill, obviously not a common cough in winter.

He stood with his hands down, reporting the latest news about the eldest prince's remnant party. These people have almost disappeared for more than ten years. If it wasn't for the Biyun Palace case, no one would have thought that these people were hiding so deeply.

The emperor sent him to investigate secretly. Xie Yi followed the clues and peeled off the cocoons, and finally touched some corners. He probed deeper, but he still couldn't catch the mastermind.

"The mastermind?"

The emperor frowned lightly, with a faint sneer on the corner of his mouth: "I remember that Zhao Rong once had a alchemist named Peng Guang who was quite scheming, but he was still loyal to Zhao Rong."

Back then when the tree fell and the monkeys scattered, the eldest prince was executed, and there were not many people who defected before the battle, but this person was the only one who was determined to capture Huiyue and force the emperor to commit suicide.

"It's this person." Xie Yi told the emperor all the news he had found, and the case has almost been revealed by now.

The emperor listened quietly, and was about to speak, but his face suddenly turned pale, and he coughed violently a few times.

Xie Yi's expression changed: "Your Majesty!"

"nothing."

Xie Yi seemed to bear it again and again, he looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, you are not telling the truth."

The emperor was slightly stunned, and then his face sank like water: "Why did the Taifu say that?"

Seeing the emperor's stern expression, Xie Yi bowed and knelt slowly, "Your Majesty, please take the holy body as the most important thing."

The emperor couldn't help laughing, and he sighed in a normal tone: "I know."

The stars in those eyes are dim, and there is no hope.

Xie Yi remained silent.

The emperor was leaning on an armchair, with one hand on the desk and the other on his sleeve in front of his abdomen. His train of thought was not interrupted by the conversation just now. He was in deep thought, and suddenly asked: "The prince's trip to suppress bandits in the Southwest, What does Taifu think?"

Xie Yi pondered for a moment: "The rebellious party is divided into two factions, and they will not interfere with each other, but both are aimed at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The emperor knew that Xie Yi had reservations, so he said: "I let people spread the word, and how to dispatch the Taifu can be decided by myself, there is no need to report back."

The emperor made it clear, and used the crown prince as bait, waiting for the opportunity, and wiped out all the weeds and roots.

Xie Yizhen said seriously: "I will definitely protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The emperor nodded, but it was safest to leave this matter to Xie Yi. He pondered for a while, and Xie Yi turned his eyes to the museum shelf, where there was a set of chess. In the early years, the emperor always liked to keep Xie Yi. Chess is the most suitable excuse.

The emperor just smiled when he saw it: "Speaking of which, I didn't personally congratulate the Taifu when he got married. You and I have been emperors and ministers for many years, and I was negligent."

The emperor said: "Ordinary people have simple and simple expectations, but they will grow old together with each other. I wish so, and so does the Taifu."

He is the emperor, if he doesn't want to keep a person, no one can do anything, neither question nor criticize.

Xie Yi bowed and left.
