They all say I'm a tyrant

The winter night is bleak.

Compared with the southwest, the winter nights in the capital are harsher. When night fell, the palace people also hid in their rooms. If it was not inevitable, they refused to go out. The empty and quiet imperial city was even more lonely.

At this time, there was a thin and handsome figure standing beside the lotus pond in the imperial garden. He was wearing a thick fox fur, most of his face was tightly covered by a hood, and only a pair of eyes were exposed.

"General." A figure in night clothes appeared behind him, cupped his hands and said, "Everything you ordered has been completed. The rumors have been spread all over the Changle Palace, and now they have spread out of the imperial city. They pretended to send a letter to the southwest. Sure enough, when he left the capital, he was stopped, the secret letter was taken away, and he feigned death according to the plan to save his life."

"En." You Yan responded, but didn't turn his head back, just looked down at the frozen lotus pond in front of him, wondering what he was thinking.

"General," the dark guard said hesitantly, "it's late at night, you haven't recovered from the cold yet, why don't you go back and rest?"

"It just occurred to me that I haven't been back to the mansion for a long time," You Yan squatted down, lowered his head, grabbed a snowball from the unmelted snow that fell a few days ago, and threw it into the lotus pond at will, "This lotus pond , or the entire imperial garden is exactly the same as the one in my mansion, so I want to come and have a look."

"After this matter is resolved, the black hand behind the scenes is caught, and peace is restored in the court, you can go back to your residence, General." The dark guard comforted.

"Really?" You Yan took advantage of the moonlight to stare at the ice surface and regained his senses, "I'm afraid that after this incident, it will be difficult to go back."

The hidden guard was puzzled: "Why did the general say that?"

You Yan smiled, looked down at the palm, which was still stained with water after the snow melted, and said slowly: "It's okay. Let's go back." After he finished speaking, he glanced at the night sky and sighed softly, "Tonight I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep peacefully."

Although Changle Palace is usually very quiet, it can be called dead silence tonight.Although the palace people were not allowed to approach the main hall without permission these days, it was not like at this moment that they could not even see a single person.

Candles were burning in the main hall, and the dim light made You Yan subconsciously feel much warmer.He took off his outer robe and walked into the inner hall, and saw Lin Ce woke up at some point, leaning on the couch and looking through the memorials that had been accumulated over the past few days.Hearing the sound of footsteps, Lin Ce raised his head and glanced at him: "Keep warm by the fire first, and be careful not to catch a cold."

"Okay," the charcoal basin was placed beside the bed, and You Yan sat down next to the bed, "You didn't even ask me where I went?"

"Of course you have your own things to do." Lin Ce stretched out his hand from the couch and stroked his black hair lightly, "Why do you need to explain everything to me?"

You Yan tilted his head back and met Lin Ce's eyes, his eyes were as clear as before, when he looked at himself, his eyes were always extraordinarily gentle.You Yan looked at him for a while, then suddenly said: "Did you guess it too?"

"It's just a bit of doubt, but we can't make a conclusion until the end of this matter." Lin Ce said slowly.

You Yan smiled, took a look at the blood-stained kit from his bosom, squeezed it tightly in his palm, and then slowly said: "The preparations are almost done." He looked up at Lin Ce while talking "Now people in Changle Palace are panicking. They all think that the current emperor has been murdered. The news has already left the imperial city, and the courtiers who are well-informed can find out. If this is not enough, plus the letter The secret letter that was looted should be enough."

The secret letter was written by Lin Xiu himself, and there were only a few words on the letter: "Emperor Beng, return quickly." It was tantamount to directly confirming the rumors.

After Lin Ce finished speaking, he nodded lightly: "Everything is about to be settled."

You Yan spread out his palms and stared at it for a while: "Yes, no matter who it is, there should be a result."

Lin Ce stretched out his hand to hold his hand, and said slowly, "I'm not fully recovered yet, so I don't have much energy to spend. So I'll trouble you to handle this matter."

You Yan suddenly turned his head to look at him: "If...you are not afraid of me..."

"Didn't you always say that everything has its own fate. If that's true, it can only be said that his life should not die." Lin Ce stroked his palm with his finger, "So, no matter what decision you make in the end, I It doesn't matter."

You Yan looked at him for a while, then shook his hand vigorously: "Then leave it to me."

The night was getting late, after all, Lin Ce's body hadn't recovered yet, so he felt tired after a while, so he put down the memorial in his hand and fell asleep.You Yan stayed by his side, originally thought that he would have no sleep all night, but he didn't expect to feel sleepy when he heard Lin Ce's breathing, and slowly fell asleep.

But as he expected, it was destined to be difficult to sleep tonight.At ten o'clock in the morning, he was awakened by the sound of noisy fighting coming from a distance, he turned his head, Lin Ce had also woken up, and whispered: "Here we come."

You Yan nodded, pressed a kiss on his forehead, then got up and got out of bed without saying a word, not forgetting to tuck up the quilt for Lin Ce, and put down the thick curtains around the bed to isolate all the chaos .

The sound of fighting was getting closer and closer, but You Yan changed into a robe without haste, and then walked slowly to the main hall, where the hidden guards were already waiting, and when he saw him, he cupped his hands: "General, they have entered In the imperial city, under the banner of King Qin, it means that Princess Lechang colluded with the servants around the Holy One to poison the Holy One. The imperial guards follow the order, fight and retreat, and will soon arrive at Changle Palace."

"Our people are all arranged?"

"Yes, General, it has been prepared a long time ago. Now that the gate of the imperial city is closed, just wait for your order, and I can catch the turtle in the jar." The dark guard replied.

You Yan sighed lowly: "It's already reached this point, and I'm not in a hurry for this moment, it's time for me to meet him."

The dark guard raised his head, looked at You Yan cautiously, and said in a low voice, "Yes."

The sound of fighting was getting closer and closer, and finally reached outside the gate of Changle Palace.Sitting in the main hall, You Yan could clearly hear the servant's sharp reprimand: "You are rebelling!"

"You eunuchs are the ones who rebelled! They are all accomplices who killed the Holy Majesty, take them all!" A clear male voice sounded, "Everyone in Changle Palace is a sinner who deceived the emperor, and no one can be let go. "

You Yan in the hall trembled twice as he went to hold the teacup, the warm tea splashed onto his hand, but he didn't realize it, he took the teacup and took a sip.Then he shook his clothes and stood up, walked slowly to the door of the hall, stretched out his hand to push open the closed door, and said in a deep voice: "In this way, I am also one."

Standing on the high steps, he glanced across the entire open space, passing by many familiar or unfamiliar faces, and finally stopped on the face of the one in the middle: "Shuwen, long time no see, don't come here to be safe .”

The moment You Yan appeared, the entire Changle Palace fell into a deathly silence, some people had panicked faces, some were confused, and as for You Li's face, there was only disbelief, for a long time, He forced a smile: "It's been a long time since uncle has returned to the capital, why don't you go home, grandparents, parents, and parents miss you very much." Speaking of this, the smile on his face became more obvious A little bit, "By the way, you have been in the southwest for a long time and you probably don't know it. My wife is pregnant with a child. In a few months, you will be an uncle."

You Yan lowered his eyes to look at the child whom he regarded as his own and brought him up with one hand, various emotions flashed in his eyes, and finally he just said slowly: "Then uncle should congratulate you." His eyes stayed on You Li's face After a while, he looked at the soldier holding a sharp knife behind him, "Then you are not at home with your wife and children, what are you doing here, forcing the palace?"

"My nephew got the news that Princess Lechang colluded with her servants to murder the Holy Majesty, so he brought people here to punish the rebels and avenge the Majesty." You Li said slowly.

You Yan shook his head lightly: "It's come to this point, are you still going to be honest with me?"

You Li lowered his head and didn't know what to think about. He looked up and looked into You Yan's eyes: "Since this is the case, uncle, you should know that I have no way out." He closed his eyes slightly, Looking back at the subordinates behind me, "Not only me, but the people behind me have no way out. If it succeeds today, it will open up the world and change the dynasty. If it fails today, it will be a great crime that will bring disaster to the nine clans. Uncle, if You are me, what would you do?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand, and the people behind him who were hesitant before raised their weapons again.The long sword that You Li had just dropped was raised again, and he walked forward step by step, gradually closing the distance between him and You Yan, the blade of the long sword was shining with a cold light, and he said in a heart-pounding way: "But you can rest assured , I will not let them harm your life."

You Yan withdrew his gaze from the long sword, and his slightly long eyelashes drooped, covering the emotions in his eyes. After a long time, he sighed softly: "I thought that the moment you saw me, you should know all your plans They have all fallen short, but they never expected that they would still have to resist.”

As he was talking, he turned his head and glanced at the hidden guard who had been standing behind him. The hidden guard immediately whistled, and suddenly there were many more people on the roofs of the surrounding halls, and they surrounded Changle Palace. The sharp arrow pointed directly at the open space, just waiting for an order.

You Li clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand, glanced at one roof after another, and then glanced at the frightened subordinates behind him, his lips were tightly pursed, he raised his wrist, and pointed the tip of the sword directly at You Yan's chest .

You Yan stood where he was, looking at him calmly, not even looking at the long sword that would kill him at any moment.You Li's hand holding the sword trembled uncontrollably, after a long time, he loosened his wrist and the long sword fell to the ground, You Li let out a self-deprecating chuckle: "Uncle is worthy of being an uncle, do we have no way out but to catch him with nothing? "

You Yan raised his head and looked at the gray sky: "It's not yet dawn, and the wind in the morning is also very cold, come in, it's time for our uncle and nephew to talk."

"What about them?"

"If you disarm and surrender, you will save your life for the time being, and will be handed over to the third division for trial later. Anyone who resists in the corner will be killed." After You Yan finished speaking, he entered the main hall without looking back.

After a while, footsteps sounded, and You Li also walked in, and the door of the main hall was slowly closed, isolating the uncle and nephew from the hustle and bustle outside.

You Yan picked up the teapot on the table, poured two cups of tea, and glanced at You Li: "Sit down, you and I have already met each other. There is no need to talk about etiquette."

You Li didn't shy away, sat down straight away, picked up a cup of tea, brought it to his lips and took a sip: "As expected of the palace, at this time, there is still such good tea." When he said this, he glanced at You Yan, "When did you start to doubt me?"

"It's not too early." You Yan closed his eyes slightly, "If I found out earlier, I wouldn't let you go to today step by step."

"I would like to admit defeat, I have no complaints." You Li's voice was flat, but there was sarcasm in his tone, "Who made my uncle choose to stand by the person he loves at the end of the day. Even if that person At this time, they are still hiding behind you, not daring to show their faces."

"He didn't want to show up because he wanted to give you a chance to survive." You Yan picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Actually, everything has already happened. As early as the day when you handed in the military talisman, Huaicheng agreed to marry the concubine and marry you." I should have noticed from the beginning of my big fight that you were dissatisfied with him a long time ago. But after I reprimanded you that day, you probably noticed my attitude, and since then I will not reveal any clues, so I just think you That day was a child's mind, I didn't think deeply about it, let alone expect my nephew to have such a great ability, laying out such a meticulous plan, and almost let you succeed."

"Actually, it wasn't just that time, it should have been earlier?" You Li's voice was gentle, as if it was just the most common heart-to-heart conversation between uncles and nephews, "When you met him when you were young, you hung out with him all day, rarely I have free time to play with me, so big that the uncle who is like a banished fairy in my heart because he went to the Northwest rolled around in the sea of ​​swords and blood, and came back covered in injuries. One pile after another accumulated to Together, so that I can't take him in awe as a king."

His fingers unconsciously rubbed the tea cover, lowered his eyes, as if he was recalling: "At first I just hated him, but later, at some point, I had the idea of ​​replacing him. What is the name of this world?" No, why do you have to be surnamed Lin? Back then, he was the least favored among the princes, and it was not because of your assistance that he finally took the throne. If he can do it, why can't I? "He was talking, and suddenly raised his head to look at You Yan, "Uncle, over the years, have you never thought about changing the world to You?"

You Yan looked at You Li with an almost unfamiliar gaze: "I never thought that I, Youjia, will eventually teach a person like you according to my father and my temperament."

"Who in the world doesn't covet the throne? It's just that most of them don't have the opportunity, and they don't have the ability." You Li said, "Speaking of it, it's my grandfather and you, who obviously play an important role in the court, but are wasting all their heart on those useless landscapes and fields Among them, is the alternative in this world?"

You Yan lowered his eyes slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip: "The way you look reminds me of those sons of the late emperor, who would do anything for the throne. They have no family affection in their eyes, let alone the righteousness of the world."

"Uncle has the righteousness of the world in his eyes, but how can he have a family relationship?" You Li said, "At first, I thought that I would delay you in the southwest and clean up the mess in the capital. When you come back, only The next coffin that can’t speak, there will be no evidence of death. At that time, it will be Princess Lechang and that servant who murdered the Holy Majesty, and I am the hero who avenged the Holy Majesty, and as my uncle, you hold the military power in the world, Your Majesty I have no heirs, don't you think you will help my nephew?"

"Although your hypothesis cannot be established, I still want to tell you, no." You Yan said lightly, "In my eyes, this imperial city is just a cage. If even Huaicheng dies in it, I'm even more You don't want to involve people from Youfu. You can only see how noble and powerful the person on the throne is, but you never think about how much helplessness is behind it."

You Li smiled, as if You Yan had said something interesting: "Forget it, it's no fun to make such assumptions, anyway, I've reached this point, uncle, you just don't want to help me no matter what."

"Indeed." You Yan took another sip of tea, "Then let's continue, this is probably the last chance for you and my nephew to have a long talk, so let's explain everything clearly .”

"Actually, there is nothing to say. After all, according to your uncle's ability, you should have a clear idea." You Yandao, "At first I just had some ideas. I raised a few people secretly and did some investigations, but I got a good grasp of it. These adults in the Shaochao have a handle. I once wanted to cooperate with that Master Li Bu, but Master Li seemed to think that I was young and didn't take me seriously. So I took the opportunity to interfere with your uncle when you investigated the Li Bu case. After searching for a while, I didn’t do anything. I just found the secret letter written to him by the Lord of Fan Kingdom from him. Although Lord Li is bold and reckless, he didn’t dare to collude with foreign enemies. Instead, he gave me a chance.”

As he spoke, he suddenly smiled: "Speaking of which, after all, I borrowed a lot from you, uncle. Although I am young and soft-spoken, I am the nephew of the famous general after all, and the future heir of Youfu. The whole Youfu. Uncle, you should be aware of your reputation in the court. I don’t know how many people are jealous of you, thinking that you are trying to deceive the emperor and rebel, and you never refute it. On the contrary, it makes it easier for me to act.”

"There is also your help between the princess and Wu Sheng?"

"Naturally. In fact, I didn't do anything. I just let the princess "accidentally" discover Wu Sheng's privately hidden portrait of her, and the rest is just going with the flow." Speaking of this, You Li laughed, "Said In the end, it’s because the two of them are just two idiots who have been dazzled by their emotions. Without them, my plan in the southwest probably wouldn’t go so smoothly. After all, Guo Zhun is very scheming and timid, not Wu Sheng. Japan's recklessness led to the defeat of Lingling City, Guo Zhun probably still can't make up his mind to cooperate with me."

"You set up such a big situation in the southwest, just to lure me away from the capital, so that you can attack Huaicheng?" You Yan's throat choked, "Even, at the expense of Tao Jiang's life?" You Yan said When he got here, his eyes were slightly red, and his voice raised, "Do you still remember when Tao Jiang took you to the countryside to ride a horse and play with you, and that's how you repaid him?!"

You Li's expression froze slightly, and he shook his head lightly: "The matter of General Tao was not in my plan. I originally thought that if there was a crisis in the Southwest, you would solve it, but I didn't expect that a Taoist would be killed halfway." General." He said with a low sigh, "I didn't want to kill him, but there was no other way, so I sent a letter to Guo Zhun and asked him to help me solve it." Speaking of this, He suddenly raised his head and smiled at You Yan, "Those who achieve great things will always make some sacrifices, and we can't stick to those old feelings."

"So, even if I died in the southwest, you wouldn't care, would you?"

"Uncle, how can you be the same as them?" You Li said, "All I want to do is to trick you to the southwest, but I know that no matter what the situation in the southwest is, you can solve it."

"Then should I thank you for your trust?" You Yan stood up and looked down at him, his eyes full of disappointment, "So you married Miss Sun's family not because it was love at first sight, but to win over her father and brother. Although her elder brother is not very good, he is extremely good at wooing courtiers, and her own father is General Ning Yuan after all, and he still has a little military power under him, so it should be enough to force the palace in the end."

"I always want to marry a wife, so naturally I want to marry the most beneficial one." Speaking of this, You Li softened his tone, and his brows and eyes seemed to be much gentler, "But, I treat her sincerely."

You Yan looked at him for a while, all kinds of emotions rushed into his heart, and finally he just raised his hand and took out the kit from his bosom, and took out the broken piece of blood-stained paper from it, "Do you remember this piece of paper?" ?”

You Li glanced at the paper and saw the contents clearly: "I should have written this to Yuyao before my wedding. Why is it in your hands, and how did you end up like this?"

"As expected." You Yan let out a chuckle, and shook the paper lightly, "Perhaps when Chiche saw this half sentence that day, he just felt it fit his mood, so he carried it close to his body to relieve his lovesickness. It’s just that he probably doesn’t know that the second half of the poem is more in line with his situation.”

"Long lovesickness, long lovesickness. If you want to say who lovesickness is like, shallow lovers don't know." After saying the last few words, You Yan closed his eyes, with an almost mocking expression on his face, "I still can't figure out why , I will teach you to be like this."

You Li stared at the paper for a while, and then asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with him?"

"Delusion to take all the blame on himself, and then 'die in fear of sin'." You Yan stuffed the paper and the kit into You Li's hand, "This is the only thing on him."

You Li took the kit, and the blood stains on it made him frown. He hesitated for a while holding the kit, and then he spread the piece of paper and saw his own handwriting on it: "It turns out that you are relying on Looking at this piece of paper, I confirmed that everything was done by me." As he spoke, he folded the paper casually and stuffed it into his bag, "I didn't expect him to kill me in the end."

"Even if there is no Chi Che, even if I can't confirm who the murderer is, I will still set up a trick to lure you out. Everything is not much different from now. No, there are, if it is not for Chi Che, I probably still can't believe it , you will be such a cold-blooded person." You Yan looked at You Li silently, but he still couldn't see any sad emotions on his face, and couldn't help but sigh, "At this time, you still don't feel that, Is it all my own fault that I have fallen into today's end?"

He took a step forward and looked into You Li's eyes: "You have never understood that you are my nephew, why I insist on standing by Huaicheng's side, and would rather watch you fall into a situation where there is no redemption. Won't you help?" You Yan paused for a moment, then continued, "Because in my eyes, you are not worthy of being an emperor at all."

"As a king, you must first care about the world, but for your own selfish desires, you put the people in the southwest into war, and your families were broken up and displaced, and they were not at peace all day long. You are ruthless and ungrateful. Others treat you with passion, but after he dies, you refuse to share a tear with him. You are stingy with caring for the people around you. How can you love the people like a child? You want the throne because You only saw the benefits that the throne would bring to you, but you never thought that you would be responsible for the entire country and the people of the world when you sit there."

"How can a selfish, cold-blooded and heartless person like you deserve to be a king?"

You Yan looked at him, with a gleam of water in his eyes, and it disappeared in a flash: "I have been magnanimous all my life, and I am worthy of the world, but tonight I have been hesitating whether I should make an exception for you. But you have no regrets at all. "

As he spoke, he took out a ceramic bottle from his arms and placed it gently on the table: "This is the most honorable ending I can give you."

You Li glanced at the bottle, and then at his uncle, but You Yan turned his back to him, and he couldn't see his face.You Li raised his head, and suddenly found that You Yan was wearing a somewhat familiar jade hairpin on his head, which was given to him after he received his first salary, but he didn't expect that he still wore it all the time.

You Li reached out to pick up the bottle, opened the cork and glanced at the pills inside, and suddenly asked softly, "Uncle, if I die, will you be sad?"

You Yan raised his hand and pressed his heart, feeling that all kinds of emotions were accumulated in it, as if they were going to tear him apart.

You Li stared at his motionless back and suddenly laughed: "I see." He clenched the medicine bottle tightly, knelt down on the ground suddenly, and kowtowed three times to You Yan, "In that case, I didn't What are you talking about. With my uncle around, my guilt should not be implicated on Youfu. Then I will trouble my uncle to take care of my widow and unborn child after my death."

After saying that, he raised his hand and swallowed the pill in the bottle.

You Yan stood there all the time, motionless, until the sound of someone falling down behind him woke him up suddenly, but he still didn't look back, he just raised his hand and pressed his chest, walked to the door step by step, and pushed away the heavy door. palace gate.

The outside of the hall has been cleaned up, the secret guard is guarding the door, and when he sees You Yan coming out, he immediately steps forward, before he can speak, he sees You Yan waving at him, and then he falls to the ground.

You Yan was already seriously ill. After toiling in the Southwest, he rushed back to the capital and hadn't recovered from the wind and cold. He persisted for the past few days. In the end, he became very anxious and fell ill.

His illness lasted for half a month, and he nestled on the soft bed of Changle Palace all day long, waking up from sleep, and after he recovered a little, he played and played with his two children, without asking the government any more.

Lin Ce would never bother him with ordinary affairs, and only hoped that he would return to the free and unrestrained You Yan who had nothing to do all day long. able to handle.

It was already a month after You Yan stepped out of the palace gate again.Under the meticulous care of the imperial doctor, his body has almost recovered, probably nothing bothered him, even his complexion is much better than before.

The place he went was not too close, all the way out of the capital, in a forest near the imperial mausoleum.You Yan rode fast all the way, and when he arrived, he found someone was already there.

You Yan glanced at the mausoleum not far away, then turned to the person in front of the tomb, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Lin, I didn't expect you to be here."

"Today is General Tao's [-]-day return day, so I naturally want to come and see." Lin Jue said, pointing to the wine jar in front of the tomb, "I also brought the wine that I promised to invite him to drink, but I don't know if he will like it." After he finished speaking, he looked at You Yan's face, "I heard that Brother You has been recuperating recently, I wonder if he is better?"

"Brother Laulin remembers that he has almost recovered. In a few days, he will be able to have a drink with you. I don't know if Brother Lin is still free." Jue said.

Lin Jue laughed: "Brother You has an appointment, so I will be free. Then three days later, I will prepare a good wine and wait for you in the study, how about it?"

"it is good."

Lin Jue nodded towards You Yan, then looked back at the cold mausoleum: "Then I will take my leave today."

You Yan cupped his hands, watching Lin Jue get on his horse and gradually disappear from his sight.

The surroundings became quiet again, You Yan squatted down in front of Tao Jiang's mausoleum, and stared at the words on the stele for a while, he felt that he should have a lot to say to Tao Jiang, but when he really came, he felt speechless can be said.

What did he want to say, tell Tao Jiang that the murderer he is looking for is his nephew, and beg Tao Jiang for forgiveness?

You Yan closed his eyes, stretched out his hand and gently touched Tao Jiang's name on the stele, and finally said slowly: "The person who harmed you has already been executed. The child who recognized you for you was adopted as a adopted son by the Holy Majesty. I will ensure that he grows up safely and smoothly in this life."

You Yan stayed in front of Tao Jiang's tomb for more than half an hour. The mountain wind was cold, until he finally couldn't help coughing, then he stood up and bowed deeply towards Tao Jiang's tomb: "This life is my Youjia after all. I am so sorry."

His voice echoed in the mountains and forests, but no one could respond to him.You Yan smiled, and waved towards the tombstone: "I'll go back first, and when the spring warms up, I'll bring your son to see you."

The road in the mountains is not very easy to walk. You Yan led the horse and walked down the mountain. Before getting on the horse, he found a carriage parked on the side of the road. He was very familiar with the carriage from the carriage to the driver, so he couldn't help but hook it He hooked his lips, and led the horse slowly to the front.

"Why did His Majesty come here?"

"I saw that you were not in the palace in the morning, and calculated the date, so I knew you were here." Lin Ce lifted the curtain of the car, and stretched out his hand to You Yan, "That's why I came to pick you up."

You Yan bent the corner of his eyes, held the warm palm: "Okay."
