Chapter 169: The Last Drink
Unlike other extremely talented traversers, Li Xin is not particularly outstanding in all aspects, and it can even be said that he is an ordinary ordinary person who can no longer be ordinary, if he has any characteristics, it can only be said that he is an ordinary person who is slightly smarter.
Human nature is very complex, and you can't simply use the label of a good person or a bad person to make a conclusion, but in Li Xin's own opinion, he himself is definitely not a bad person.
In his previous life, Li Xin was a good person with no ambitions, and his dream was to be rich and secure in that city, and after he arrived in this world, his goal did not change much, thinking that he could be a rich man or an idle official, and just live a lifetime.
So when he sat in the position of "Marquis of Jing'an", even if his wish in this life was fulfilled, according to Li Xin's own meaning, he would be content to be a Taiping Marquis in Dajin for the rest of his life.
Of course, he thinks differently from people in this era, and he is not used to putting all his wealth and life in the hands of others, so even if he is willing to be a prince of peace, he has left himself some back-ups, some back-hands that are enough to save his life.
It is precisely because of Li Xin's unique idea that Mu Ying established the Hanzhou Army in the southwest, and then there was the prototype of the Southwest Army, and then the Southwest Army was formed step by step.
Today, many things have happened, which are not expected by Li Xin, he has been pushed to his current position by one thing after another.
Looking back, if in the first year of Yuan Zhao, the Son of Heaven was really willing to let down his guard and believe in Li Xin wholeheartedly, Li Xin would probably go back to his hometown to sit as his own Taiping Marquis, and he would no longer have any ambitions.
It's a pity that the world is out of control, and now that Li Xin has become the general of the Southwest Army, and the Southwest Army has also controlled the imperial court, then he has to do what he should do as a general of the Southwest.
After the change of Renchen Palace, Taikang Tianzi wanted his eldest son to worship under Li Xin no matter what, and his original intention was naturally to make Li Xin the support of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the court, and also wanted Li Xin to become the prince's party, and then rely on each other.
But just over five years after the death of Taikang Tianzi, things have become out of control now.
Yuan Zhao Tianzi closed his eyes in some pain, and did not speak for a long time,
Soon, a few dishes of side dishes were brought up and placed on the low table in Weiyang Palace, Li Xin personally got up, moved the low table to the Son of Heaven, and then sat down opposite the Son of Heaven and poured a toast for the Son of Heaven.
"It's cold, warm up with a glass of wine."
The Son of Heaven still bowed his head and did not move.
Li Xin smiled dumbly: "What, are you afraid that I will poison you to death?" ”
Now all the yamen offices in the imperial city, including the imperial kitchen, have been taken over by Li Xin's secret department, and the meals that can be delivered to Li Xin must have been poisoned.
Li Xin poured himself a glass of wine, raised his head and drank it all, and then smiled at Yuan Zhao Tianzi: "Look, I also drank it, if there is any poison in this wine, you and I will die here together." ”
"Besides, if I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't have to bother."
The Son of Heaven silently picked up the wine glass, raised his head a little bitterly and drank it all.
Next, he drank several sips of wine in one go, and the violent smell of wine surged, making the young man's face flush.
After drinking several glasses in a row, the Son of Heaven calmed down a little, and he looked up at Li Xin, and his somewhat hoarse voice was clearly filled with fear.
"Uncle...... I don't want to die......"
Li Xin's face was expressionless: "No one wants to die." ”
The Son of Heaven lowered his head and said in a depressed voice: "I haven't seen my aunt for many years, and Sister Ahan...... I haven't seen it in years. ”
He raised his head and glanced at Li Xin timidly: "Uncle, if you have to kill me, I want to see my aunt before I die......
"She brought me up from a young age......"
Mrs. Li looked at the Son of Heaven with fear on his face, and sighed slightly: "Indeed, if your aunt returns to the capital, I will not be able to kill you again, but she will not be able to return to the capital for at least two months, such a long time, I can wait, those generals of the Southwest Army can't wait." ”
Speaking of this, Li Xin paused and continued: "When the time comes, your brother who is about to sit on the throne may not be able to wait to kill you. ”
"Too many people want you dead."
Li Xin closed his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbidity: "I won't tell you, it's me, and I don't really want to leave you with such a disaster." ”
The Son of Heaven gritted his teeth fiercely and couldn't say a word.
"For the sake of you calling me uncle, and you are my first student, if you have any requirements to say, and if you can help you do it, I will try to help you do it."
Yuan Zhao Tianzi knelt opposite Li Xin, and his voice was full of decadence: "Teacher...... How many years can Dajin still have the surname Ji? ”
"After you kill me, it won't be long before the sixth brother will probably die at your hands."
Li Xin frowned slightly: "It's too early to say anything, you are not smart enough to be an unpredictable prophet, how do you know that I will kill him?" ”
"As for the future, let's take one step at a time."
The Son of Heaven, who was only twenty-one years old, sat on the ground and burst into tears: "If the Great Jin Dynasty changes its surname in my hands, and I go underground, how can I have the face to see the ancestors and ancestors......"
"Don't worry."
Li Xin's face was calm: "Even if you want to change your surname in this world, it will be in your brother's hands, and it has nothing to do with you." ”
At this point in the conversation between the two people, the Son of Heaven finally cut off the idea of survival, he lowered his head and picked up the rice bowl, took a few mouthfuls of rice fiercely, and then lowered his head, because there was still food in his mouth, and his speech was a little slurred.
"The Lady of the Palace......"
He was only halfway through this sentence before he was interrupted by Li Xin.
"There's nothing to worry about about this, you and the sixth prince are brothers of the same father and mother, your relatives are his relatives, after he ascends the throne, what will the palace be like originally."
Speaking of this, Li Xin looked at this embarrassed son of heaven and said slowly: "Early tomorrow morning, the new emperor will ascend the throne in Weiyang Palace, and it will naturally be better if you can hand him the national seal at that time, it doesn't matter if you don't want to hand it over, I have been scolded too much, it is not bad for this decent." ”
Tianzi lowered his head, and his voice was a little hoarse.
"Teacher, I want to meet the sixth brother in private......"
"Nope."
This time Li Xin refused very simply, he said lightly: "Up to now, none of you brothers can make any waves, I don't let you go to see him because I'm afraid that you will have any plans, but because I'm afraid that you will kill him." ”
"Since you ascended the throne, you have inexplicably put me, the teacher that the first emperor arranged for you, on the opposite side, before the first emperor died, in that case, he still recalled me back to the capital to entrust the future, and the deep meaning is obvious."
"Your thoughts are divergent from the root, and you will come to today's death step by step, I don't want you to say a few words and kill the new emperor."
The Son of Heaven bowed his head and was silent.
After Li Xin said this, he bent over and poured a glass of wine for Yuan Zhao Tianzi, and then filled the wine glass in front of him.
"Don't talk about that, let's master and apprentice, we haven't sat down together and had a drink."
"The moonlight is good tonight, I'll have a good drink with you."
The Son of Heaven silently raised his wine glass and touched a glass with Li Xin.
The master and apprentice sat in Weiyang Palace, and drank for the first time in their lives.
It's the last one.
