such as Yue Linyuan

The promotion path of Fang Ben and this person can almost be said to be soaked in the blood of colleagues, covered with corpses of colleagues.

When the Si family was convicted, he secretly participated in the fabrication of criminal evidence, and was promoted from the head of the Ministry of Rites to the Minister of the Ministry of Rites; and the reason for his previous conviction was that he reported it in the court, so the post of Minister of the Ministry of Rites naturally fell to him body.

Chu Yuezhi didn't know about these things at first, but in the past three years, he had scattered secret lines and kept collecting information for him, so Fang Ben and the evil things he did in the past were gradually dug out.

Chu Yuezhi is not used to talking about serious matters with people in such a posture, but Si Yuanting obviously intends to just talk to him like this, so Chu Yuezhi can only try his best to ignore the fact that he is soaking naked in the bathtub, turn around and look up Looking at Si Yuanting: "When Si Lao Shangshu was convicted, this king was still young and didn't understand the affairs of the court, but in the following years, I heard a lot about Si Lao Shangshu's deeds, most of which were praises. Wang also looked at the relevant imperial examination laws and regulations proposed and promulgated by Mr. Si Lao Shangshu back then, as well as his support for academies and private schools and various proposals from candidates. On the one hand, students are encouraged to broaden their minds and dare to break the boundaries of regulations. Although most of the works written by Si Lao Shangshu have been burned, but this king was fortunate to find some of the works that Si Lao Shangshu's disciples secretly copied later. I admire him very much. So I went to investigate the relevant criminal evidence when Si Lao Shangshu was convicted by his father. Most of the criminal evidence was forged, but I didn’t expect that the person who forged Si Lao Shangshu’s handwriting to fabricate criminal evidence It's Fang Benhe."

After talking so much in one breath, and soaking in the hot spring again, Chu Yuezhi's mouth would inevitably dry up, but he couldn't care about such trivial matters now, hesitating whether he should come out of the bath and put on his clothes, Talk to Si Yuanting more seriously.

As the only son of Si Laoshangshu, Si Yuanting has been in the palace all these years and has taken power in the court. If he can find out the Fangben and be involved in it, Si Yuanting will not be ignorant, but Si Yuan But Ting let Fang Benhe do nothing, even watched Fang Benhe become the Minister of Rites with cold eyes, he still couldn't figure out Si Yuanting's thoughts after thinking for a long time.

When Chu Yuezhi spoke, Si Yuan frowned and listened, his face was calm without even a trace of turmoil. It was not until Chu Yuezhi finished speaking that he lifted up the hem of his robe and squatted down on one knee, stretching out his hand to clasp his index finger and thumb. Caught Chu Yuezhi's chin, made him look at him, and said, "Are you asking our family for credit, or do you want to ask why our family kept Fang Benhe until now?"

Si Yuanting didn't use too much force in his hands, but Chu Yuezhi still sensitively noticed that Si Yuanting seemed a little unhappy. He is a prince and a general. Before Si Yuanting, he had never served in Israel. People's experience has always been that if you can move your hands, you will never move your mouth. It's just that he is always a little more careful when facing the moody Si Yuanting.

Looking carefully at every subtle expression on Si Yuanting's face, Chu Yuezhi said with extreme caution: "This king just wants to wash away the stigma of old Shangshu Si, if possible, I want to get rid of Fang Ben and this One case, overturn the case for the Si family."

"Oh, get rid of the stigma." Si Yuanting sneered, his eyes turned cold again, and said sharply: "If the stigma is removed, and the case is overturned, those of the Si family who were executed will be able to come back to life." ?The innocent and troubled girls can become wives and boudoir ladies? Chu Yuezhi, you can see clearly that our family is now a eunuch and is no longer the son of a minister! Nothing helps, and only those who feel guilty can get comfort! Even if you want to apologize, don't use my father and the Si family as an excuse!"

Being a eunuch is a shame for a man. This shame is not only branded on his body, but also on his heart.And he, Si Yuanting, will never go to court again as the son of Si Lao Shangshu.

He accepts that he is scolded by countless people behind his back as a treacherous eunuch, and he also accepts that he is called "Si Gong Gong" and "Supervisor", but he cannot accept that when he stands in the court, no one will mention him as Si Lao The son of Shangshu is the proud son of heaven, Si Yuanting, whom the Si family had placed high hopes on.

Because he doesn't deserve it.

Si Yuanting is dead, and now he is the company.

A wet hand wrapped around Si Yuanting's wrist.

Chu Yuezhi was still soaking in the hot spring, his body temperature was higher than usual, and he could even feel that Si Yuanting's body and skin were cold.He grabbed Si Yuanting's wrist with all his strength, not to make him let go, but because he was afraid that Si Yuanting would walk away.

"Do you not want others to associate you with Si Laoshangshu and the Si family again?" Chu Yuezhi said a question, but there was not even the slightest uncertainty in his tone.He had noticed a long time ago that Si Yuanting would not have emotional ups and downs because others teased and spurned his eunuch status behind his back, but he would get angry when others mentioned the son of a former minister.

"My lord, I must rehabilitate Si Laoshangshu, even if it is not now, I will do so in the future. During the years when Silao Shangshu was an official, it was the Daheng Kingdom that really gave countless students and literati room to develop, and truly made a hundred flowers bloom. When a hundred schools of thought contend, this king wants to bring back that prosperous age, so that the pens in their hands can no longer only write standard but empty stereotyped essays, and no longer worry all day long that they will be ransacked and imprisoned if they write something that should not be written. , no longer depressing the talent but losing the charm and depth it should have because of more and more bans. This king wants to see that both the people and the court can have their own thoughts. Si Laoshangshu said , thinking cannot be imprisoned, as a human being, one should dare to think, think, speak and act. This king, I hope that this ideal of Si Laoshangshu can be realized."

Chu Yuezhi has acted like an idle prince in the past three years, and has not talked about his thoughts on governing the country in front of others for a long time. During those years of marching and fighting, all he thought about was how to arrange troops to win battles, so that many People, including Si Yuanting, have already forgotten that he was also a prince who listened to his master's lectures in the school for many years and was full of economics and knowledge.

He also has a lot of opinions on governing the country, and he also has the ambition to let the people under the emperor live and work in peace and contentment in addition to defending the frontier. If Chu Yuelei gives him a chance, he is actually willing to be an assistant to Chu Yuelei to create a peaceful and prosperous world, so that everyone A minister who will prosper the Heng Kingdom in the next hundred years.

But now, Chu Yuelei wanted to kill him, so he chose to follow the old path that Chu Yuelei had followed. If he succeeded, he would still have a chance to realize the ideal in his heart.

"Si Yuanting, you are the first person to hear me say this, because I believe you can understand." Chu Yuezhi actually does not agree to regard all relationships as calculations. Expressing the sincerity that the other party wants to see is more stable than the practice of calculating people's hearts every step of the way even when you close your eyes and rest, and you don't have to be on guard against being betrayed all the time.

He believes that sincerity can be exchanged for sincerity; he is also willing to believe that under Si Yuanting's hard shell, there is still a sincerity that others cannot touch.

Si Yuanting lifted Chu Yuezhi up from the bath.

"How dare you, how dare you use my father..." Si Yuanting's eyes turned red, and bloodshot eyes quickly appeared in his eyes. He tried his best to restrain the ferocious out of control expression on his face, but when he saw Chu When Yue Zhi's peach blossom eyes were full of innocence and frankness, he clearly felt the distortion in his heart.

He grabbed Chu Yuezhi's shoulders and lifted him up. Chu Yuezhi was pinched so painfully but he didn't struggle, but he didn't notice that. The noise in his ears was the sad cry of his father when he was dragged away by the officers and soldiers. At that time, he was seriously injured and was thrown off the bed, and he crawled on the ground to his father's helplessness and despair. It was his mother who cried blood when he was held in her arms and separated from their mother and child by officers and soldiers.

He was in too much pain. He had been in pain for 20 years. His hands were stained with the blood of others. He had heard countless people swearing at him, but he still couldn't hide the wailing of his parents that echoed in his ears every night when he fell asleep.

He lowered his head and bit hard on Chu Yuezhi's neck. There was a blood vessel that could not be saved after being cut by a sharp knife. He hated Chu Yuezhi so much, but after so many years, it was Chu Yuezhi who kept him alive.

Why, why did Chu Yuezhi always stab him into his heart with a sharp knife stained with the blood of his relatives, and then put on a gesture of compassion and compassion for him?

He couldn't hear Chu Yuezhi's cry of pain. He didn't raise his head until he tasted the smell of rust between his lips and teeth, and said in a hateful voice, almost gnashing his teeth: "Chu Yuezhi, I'm an eunuch, I can't grow a beard Without the ability to kill you with a real gun, if I die in the future, the history books will only record that there was an eunuch surnamed Si in the Daheng Kingdom. If I can help you ascend to the throne of God, I will be that The sycophant who betrayed the lord and ruined the court twice! I can't enter the grave of the Si family, and I am not qualified to enter! Since I promised to help you usurp the throne, I will never break my promise. You don't have to use my father and the Si family to come! Trying to win over me, and wanting me to give up on you, you might as well think about how to commit me, the eunuch who bullies you time and time again, in the future!"

"I didn't use Si Laoshangshu to try to win over you. What about eunuchs? Can't eunuchs have the world in their hearts? Before I left the palace and entered the barracks, I helped you ascend to the position of eunuch Bingbi because I believed that you would not be an eunuch." Those rebellious officials and thieves recorded in the history books, you have a country and a family in your heart. Now you are an official in the court as an eunuch, and others insult you in private, but I can see clearly that if you were not in the court, the emperor would only issue More bans and unreasonable laws and regulations, as well as the frontier defense that I and the soldiers have worked so hard to build, may not be able to get the attention of the emperor. I beg you to help me, not only because of your power, but also because of me. I know you are not a so-called courtier!" Grabbing Si Yuanting's lapel, Chu Yuezhi was not sure before hearing Si Yuanting's words, but at this moment, Chu Yuezhi said with great certainty: "Si Yuanting, You actually regard the country and the people of the world as more important than your family feud, otherwise you would not let Fang Benhe live to this day, would you?"

Although he doesn't understand the reason, Chu Yuezhi knows that Si Yuanting has obsession with him, maybe it's because he helped Si Yuanting become the eunuch of Bingbi back then, making Si Yuanting miss him, or it's because of other things He didn't want to go into the reason why Si Yuanting wanted to get him, and he didn't really choose to make an agreement with Si Yuanting only because of power. A minister who is an official and wholeheartedly serves the country and the people.

His father ruined the Si family and also Si Yuanting, but he knew that the ideals in Si Yuanting's heart had not been completely destroyed.

As long as a king or subject puts the country and the people in his heart, even if he is not a wise lord, a loyal and filial minister, he will definitely not be a sinful person who donates his integrity and abandons his shame to leave a bad reputation for thousands of years.
