Li Chaoyi's Anecdote

The weeds on the head are all thriving.

At this moment, he heard a rustling sound from the curtain, and a moment later, a white sash was passed out from inside, and he knew it was untied from the emperor's underwear.

"This is……"

"It's my own crime." The emperor said, "I want to admit my ignorance and arrogance."

Qinghe lowered his head and looked at the words and sentences on the clothes belt. The iron hooks were painted with silver hooks. They were strong and resolute, and seemed to have infinite vitality.Like the weeds of the plains in spring, they wrestle fearlessly from the crevices of rock and gravel with vigorous and savage courage.

"With this imperial edict, go quickly to Longxi to see Mr. Li Si, and tell him that I have agreed to everything he wants. As soon as old man Yuwen dies, I will make him King of Hexi, and I will never regret it."

Qing He clutched the imperial edict, every word on it was scalding, he had a thousand reasons to persuade the emperor to withdraw his order, but there was always one more reason to grant him.

That's not his younger brother after all, Qing He thought.

He will wipe out the traitors, rule the world, and then grow up to be an extremely wise emperor in peace, live a grand and smooth life happily, and will not be buried in the scalding sea of ​​fire.

Such a beautiful life and such a great achievement are waiting for him in the not-too-distant future.

Qinghe lay down in front of the bed and saluted the emperor. When he got up, he saw a black shadow reflected on the curtain in the dim sunlight, with narrow shoulders and long neck, sitting upright.He bent down and bowed deeply to Qinghe.

"My wealth and life are all in your hands..."

22

In the fifth month of Renxu, there are still ten months before the fall of the previous dynasty.

23 The four sons of the Li family in Longxi gathered seventeen princes and 20 soldiers to make a blood alliance oath in front of Yanming Pass.

Those are all bells and bells, and families with hairpin tassels, how could they take this young man with a weak crown in their eyes, and they all showed dissatisfaction.At this time, someone dressed in plain clothes and a white horse slowly entered from outside the gate, and no one dared to stop the thousands of troops in front of the formation.

I saw him get off his horse with a flick of his sleeves, first bowed three times in the direction of Chang'an in the east, and then held out a brocade belt from his arms, and said to everyone: "There is a problem with the saints, and I have issued an imperial edict to the king. You don't want to serve the country. How can you pretend to be a prince, a general, and a pillar of the country if you hesitate to move forward here? "

Under the apricot yellow banner, Li Sigong stood with his sword in his hand, and watched the scene with a smile. Behind him was a tall and burly young man. The two of them had similar facial features, and one could tell they were brothers at a glance.

The young man stretched his neck to watch for a while, then suddenly smiled and said: "Since the fourth brother came back from Jiangling, he has been obsessed with this man. I thought he has three heads and six arms, but he is just a decent boy."

Li Si turned around, tapped his forehead with his fingers, and said: "You can just say these things in front of me. When you meet him, remember to be respectful and obedient, and don't be rude."

"He deserves it?" The boy refused to accept it, his fists were clenched loudly.

Li Si patted the back of his head, and said softly: "Fifth brother, bear with me for a while. When I take charge of Hexi, I will ask the little emperor for a favor and make you King of Yan. At that time, half of the country will be in the hands of our brothers." , you don’t have to bow your head to anyone anymore.” He said, turning around to look at Qinghe, meeting the man’s eyes, melting into a sunset in the forest of swords and swords, like the empire hidden behind countless green hills, helplessly , falling into the dark abyss.

24

In the second lunar month of Guihai, there were still two hours before the fall of the previous dynasty.

25

The emperor was woken up from his sleep, and before he could open his eyes, he was pulled up from the bed and hurriedly put on his clothes.

"What's the matter?" the emperor asked in a daze.

"Li Thief's rebel army has already hit the city!" Several servants pushed the emperor outside.

Ever since the Li clan in Longxi raised troops with the edict of the emperor's belt, Yuwen Da Sima had put the emperor under house arrest on the dilapidated Mirror Stage. Chen, even if the world is turned upside down outside, he doesn't know anything about it.

When the emperor heard this, he was suddenly shocked, grabbed one of them with his backhand and said, "What did you just say?"

The little servant did not expect that the emaciated puppet emperor could exert such strength, so he couldn't help taking a step back, stammering: "Da... Da Sima has an order, let your majesty... accompany him on his southern tour, he has already Mobilize the troops from the south of the Yangtze River and send troops to serve the king."

"Send troops...King Qin..." The emperor seemed to be crying and smiling at the same time. He repeated these words several times, and finally fell headlong on the green brick floor. With a bang, he raised his head again, and it was already covered in blood. Current coverage.

"It's him...it must be him...he's finally back..."

"Your Majesty, be careful!" The servants were taken aback by him, and rushed to help him up, but the emperor threw them away and rushed towards the palace door.

The bitter north wind mixed with snowflakes rushed in instantly, raising thousands of dust particles in the hall.

The emperor laughed loudly at the thick ink-like heaven and earth: "Sweeping the world, cleaning everything... What a wind, what a wind!" He tore off the crooked balance crown on his head, threw it on the ground, and smashed it to pieces. As if breaking free from a heavy shackle, I feel relaxed and happy everywhere in my body.

"Great winds and clouds are coming, send me to the heavenly capital!"

26

The emperor ran out from the mirror platform in single clothes and bare feet, and saw red walls and green tiles, every plant and tree, just like yesterday.There were always palace people with soft arms and hurrying, passing by him, but no one recognized the emperor of the empire.He looked down into the Taiye Pond by the light of the fire on the tower in the distance, he was less than 20 years old, his black hair was half white, his face was haggard, his back was bent, like an old man over fifty years old, only There is a pair of eyes, burning and compelling.

"Qinghe, Qinghe, I don't know what I look like now, but you can still recognize it..."

27

In the time of Guihai and February Hai, it is said that there is still an hour before the fall of the previous dynasty.

28

Qing He reined in his horse and stood under the city, looking up to see that the towering fortified city that had stood for hundreds of years was falling apart in front of him.The Fourth Young Master Li rode his horse and walked slowly, followed up from behind, and said with a smile: "You should go back to the camp first, the swordsmen are ruthless, and you don't wear armor, in case you get hurt..." Before the words finished, Qinghe swung his sword, Very lightly cut a flowing arrow into two pieces.

The Fourth Young Master shook his head helplessly: "I know that you are worried about Your Majesty. When I was in Longxi, I also promised you that once the rebels are killed, I will leave the capital and become my King of Hexi. I have no intention of taking advantage of it." He saw clearly that He Yuzi was silent, frowned, and said again: "Although I, Li Silang, am not a hero, I still understand the principle of being loyal to the emperor and protecting the country. Today I swear to God, if there is even a little bit of dissent, everyone will betray their relatives and die a happy death." .”

Qinghe turned his head slightly, took off the white snow on his shoulders, and dropped his sleeves rustlingly.

"I hope that after many years, the fourth son will still remember what he said today."

29

The emperor walked slowly towards the city gate, and suddenly heard a loud noise not far away, cheers and screams joined together, and then a large group of people rushed through the night, in the snow and fire, looked like a general A man with a long spear and a steed horse walked in the front, with a head on the tip of his spear, it was Yuwen Da Sima who had abandoned the city overnight and fled.

The emperor suddenly gained strength, he took a step, blocked the road, and said loudly: "General, please stay!"

The man reined in the horse's head, looked him up and down, turned his head and laughed at the soldiers behind him, and said, "Do you think this half-boy is here to surrender?"

The emperor tried his best to straighten his already frozen spine, and said: "I am the son of today, the general will kill traitors and dedicate his loyalty to the country. Please also report your name and wait for me to reward you for your merits."

"You are the Son of Heaven... What proof do you have?"

The emperor clapped his hands, and tremblingly took out a small box wrapped in yellow satin from his bosom, and said, "Here is the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom, who would dare not believe it."

The general put a smile on his face immediately, but he didn't get off his horse, he just looked down at the emperor and said, "I don't know what kind of official your majesty wants me to be?"

"How about Marquis Dingguo, there are three thousand households in Shiyi."

"Okay, okay, your majesty is really generous, you are worthy of being the son of Shengtian!" The man looked up to the sky and laughed, and suddenly sent a spear, pointing directly at the emperor's chest: "Your majesty, do you know... Someone made an agreement with me that as long as I get the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, Divide half of my rivers and mountains."

30

When Qinghe arrived, he saw the emperor falling from the city tower, covered in flames, holding the Chuanguo Yuxi in his arms. In his life, he had finally stepped out of the palace wall.

"In this life, I died at the hands of you and other villains. In the next life, I will take this country back with my own hands!"

And behind the emperor's flaming body, the general in silver helmet and iron armor stepped out leisurely from the dark city gate. As soon as he saw Mr. Li, he greeted him with a smile on his face and said, "Fourth brother, why did you come so fast..." Before he finished speaking, Fourth Young Master Li whipped him across the head, knocking him over in the snow.

The general covered his face and said in astonishment: "Fourth brother, what are you doing!"

"You rebellious minister!" Li Si threw down his whip and punched and kicked. His fifth younger brother didn't dare to fight back, so he couldn't stop moaning, bleeding from his ears and nose.

A moment later, the general was covered in bruises and passed out. Li Si was still puzzled, and drew out the sword with a clang, and handed it to Qinghe who had been silent all this time: "This is the end of the matter, it's useless to talk about it. My unworthy brother, I'm going to die today." At your disposal."

Qinghe took the long sword, and said slowly: "The person who died is not only my lord... but also my only confidant in my life. Is your brother's life...enough?"

Li Si twitched his eyebrows, forced a smile and said, "Then how are you doing?"

Qinghe got off his horse, stepped over the bloody man, and embraced the emperor's charred corpse
