After the death escape, I became the white moonlight of the crazy tyrant
Chapter 239 Extra 5: When he left, the city was full of spring
The emperor was seriously ill and no one cared.
Ning Hechu killed several flattering eunuchs around him. From then on, the emperor's life and death was in his hands.
He watched the former emperor grow old little by little, his eyes losing their luster and lying half-dead on the bed, and finally he was able to carry out his revenge.
The palace servants who were serving him were so frightened that they kept silent, but he didn't care at all. Finally, when the emperor was about to die, he ordered his men to break his limbs and stuff him into a jar.
So far, the dust has settled.
Although years of hatred had been avenged, the imagined pleasure did not well up in his heart. Sitting in this position, he looked around in confusion, unable to think of what to do in the future.
Everyone thought that he would take the opportunity to hold the little prince hostage, make him a puppet and hold the power himself, but he didn't care.
It was at this time that Wen Hemian led people into the palace and protected the young prince who had become the young emperor. This young top scholar was born in a wealthy family, but he had an upright and pure heart. He had the same reckless spirit as when he was young, and he vigilantly protected the young emperor behind him.
Before this, they didn't have much interaction.
Just looking at such a look, Ning Hechu couldn't help but be distracted.
His gaze fell on the child again. The child was timid and did not dare to look at him. It seemed that he was aware of his sight and hid behind Wen Hemian. He looked soft and harmless, just like when he first met him when he was appointed as the Crown Prince. He had no killing power at all.
They couldn't help but sneer in their hearts, is it such a person that is worthy of the Wen family's efforts to support?
He was not interested at all, so he exchanged a few words and left.
But what happened later was really beyond his expectations.
The harmless kid was originally thought to be a pig in disguise, but the young and inexperienced Master Wen showed his gentle but tough-to-bully side after entering the court, and bit by bit, he cleared a piece of pure land from this corrupt court.
In the past, the aristocratic families fought each other fiercely for the division of power, but now they are just on the decline. Facing the outstanding growth of the New Party, they also feel a little panic in their hearts. They want to use Ning Hechu to nip these threats in the bud.
Unfortunately, they miscalculated this time.
Wen Hemian seemed to be standing behind everyone, but in fact he was standing in front of everyone.
Every judgment she made seemed to predict their subsequent actions, and she defeated them one by one with overwhelming force, tearing a hole in their path.
Ning Hechu smiled as he watched them fight back, folding his hands and watching coldly from the side.
In fact, from the moment he realized that he had made a mistake, he realized that this was a losing situation.
There are tens of thousands of ambitious people in the world. If they are scattered soldiers, there is no need to be afraid. But if someone gathers them together, they will become a powerful weapon that will move forward bravely and will always achieve what they want.
As for Ning Hechu, since he embarked on this path, there was no turning back.
Regardless of his original intention, it is true that he betrayed his teacher and friends and framed loyal and honest people.
Regardless of whether his subordinates acted with his instructions or not, it is also true that he turned a blind eye and allowed them to do whatever they wanted.
He watched the little emperor grow up under the protection of Wen Hemian, saw his supporters fall into panic, and even advised him countless times to find a way to kill the teacher and student. He did not stop them or support them, but just watched them for fun, seeing them return empty-handed every time.
It's one of the few fun things.
In fact, if he wanted to resist, he might have a chance of winning. Even if the result was the worst, he could still tear a piece of flesh from those two people. But after fighting for so many years and going through so many ups and downs, he was tired and exhausted.
So in the final attack, he sat in his mansion and allowed the people who kicked open the door to capture him.
In the imperial prison, he thought a lot.
I remembered my youth when I was proud and full of expectations, the pain of losing my sweetheart, the frustration of going to Beijing to take the imperial examinations, and lying dormant day and night while only watching my enemies, and the desolate days and nights when I later held power and enjoyed unlimited glory. Until today, the monkeys scatter when the tree falls.
He finally reached the end of his road.
The only thing he didn't expect was that the young top scholar would actually come to visit him in prison.
Wen Hemian didn't look like he was adding insult to injury.
He just came in and saw that he was calm, as if he was surprised for a moment, then he returned to normal, waved his hand to let the jailer go, and chatted with him as usual.
Faced with death approaching, Ning Hechu no longer had any fear. He was even quite interested in hearing about the interesting stories between the young number one scholar and the emperor, and laughed when he saw her embarrassment.
In fact, he was not surprised that Wen Hemian would find out about his past. From previous confrontations, it was obvious that this young top scholar seemed to have extraordinary abilities. He could always predict what they wanted to do and it was not surprising that he knew some secrets.
Seeing that he had a kind heart like a bodhisattva, and could still say goodbye so calmly when facing his enemies, or even his foe, he had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
So he said, "Master Wen, I am also the top scholar."
After so many years, people only remember him as a traitor. They probably have forgotten that before that, he was also a top scholar. Although he was not as brilliant and memorable as Wen Hemian, he was still a top scholar who ranked first in the imperial examination and enjoyed great glory.
What would have happened if none of this had happened?
Maybe he will marry his sweetheart, maybe he will become a loyal official like Wen Hemian, wholeheartedly supporting the government, or maybe he will die in the whirlpool of the court one day...
But there is no point in saying this now.
There was no way he could make a choice again; the matter was settled.
So he thought, maybe some people in this world are born to be treacherous ministers.
It was Ning Hechu's bad luck that he had to become a treacherous minister.
He was full of resentment towards Shangtian, but in the end he couldn't help but remind Wen Hemian to always be on guard against the royal family. He just thought of it as his good intentions and gave this advice in the end.
As for what happens afterwards, he is dead and cannot take care of his affairs.
Wen Hemian did not give a direct answer to this.
It's not surprising. After all, she has always protected the little emperor. His move might be seen as a way to sow discord in her mind, that is, he is meddling in other people's business, and she might think he is being falsely kind.
But in the end, seeing the young champion's sincere look, he still asked her to help take care of the loquat tree in the yard.
This was planted a long, long time ago. At first, it was just to commemorate his hatred. Later, the tree grew bigger and bigger. Suddenly one year, he ate loquats, which were sour and bitter, just like his absurd life.
Wen Hemian was really kind-hearted, so she agreed.
So Ning Hechu said "thank you" to her.
This time I mean it.
