Unparalleled Concubine - v2 Chapter 1121
Chapter 1121 The last wine
Unlike other transmigrators who are extremely talented, Li Xin is not particularly outstanding in all aspects. It can even be said that he is an ordinary ordinary person who can no longer be ordinary. If there are any characteristics, it can only be said that he is a little smarter. of ordinary people.
Human nature is very complicated, and one cannot simply use the label of a good person or a bad person to draw a conclusion on a person, but in Li Xin’s opinion, he himself is definitely not a bad person.
In his last life, Li Xin was a good man with no ambitions. His dream was to be wealthy and secure in that city. After arriving in this world, his goals did not change much. He wanted to be a rich man or an idle official. A lifetime will do.
So when he sits in the position of “Marquis of Jing’an”, his wish in this life will be fulfilled. According to Li Xin’s own intention, he will be content to be the Marquis of Taiping in Dajin for the rest of his life.
Of course, he thinks differently from people in this era, and is not used to handing over his life to others, so even if he is willing to be a Taiping Marquis, he has left some backhands for himself, some of which are enough to save his life. the backhand.
It is precisely because of Li Xin’s unique idea that Mu Ying established the Hanzhou Army in the southwest, and then the prototype of the Southwest Army was formed, and then the Southwest Army was formed step by step.
A lot of things happened today, which were not what Li Xin expected. He was pushed to this position one by one.
Looking back on the past, if in the first year of Yuanzhao, the emperor was really willing to let go of his guard and wholeheartedly believe in Li Xin, Li Xin would probably just go back to his hometown to sit as his own Taiping Marquis, and would not have any ambitions.
Unfortunately, things in the world cannot be controlled by others. Now that Li Xin has become the general of the Southwest Army, and the Southwest Army has also controlled the court, he has to do what he should do as a general of the Southwest.
After the change of the Renchen Palace that year, Emperor Taikang wanted his eldest son to worship Li Xin’s door no matter what. His original intention was naturally to make Li Xin the support of His Royal Highness in the court, and also to let Li Xin become the first prince. Party, and then support each other.
But in just over five years after the death of Emperor Taikang, things have become out of control.
Emperor Yuanzhao closed his eyes in pain and did not speak for a long time.
Soon, a few plates of small dishes were brought up and placed on the low table in Weiyang Palace. Li Xin got up and moved the low table to the emperor himself, then sat down opposite the emperor, and poured a cup of toasting wine for the emperor.
“It’s getting cold, let’s warm up with a glass of wine.”
The emperor still bowed his head and did not move.
Li Xin smiled dumbly: “Why, are you afraid that I will poison you to death?”
Now all the yamen offices in the imperial city, including the royal chef, have been taken over by Li Xin’s Anbu, and the food 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, then smiled at Emperor Yuan Zhao: “Look, I drank it too, if there is any poison in this wine, you and I will die here together. “
“Besides, if I want to kill you, I don’t need to be so troublesome.”
The emperor silently raised his glass, raised his head slightly bitterly, and drank it.
Next, he drank several sips of wine in one breath, and the violent alcohol surged up, making the young emperor’s face flush.
After drinking several cups in a row, the emperor calmed down a bit. He looked up at Li Xin, and his hoarse voice was clearly filled with fear.
“Uncle…I don’t want to die…”
Li Xin was expressionless: “No one wants to die.”
The emperor lowered his head and said in a dejected voice: “I haven’t seen my aunt for many years, and Sister Ahan…I haven’t seen her for many years.”
He raised his head and glanced at Li Xin timidly: “Uncle, if you insist on killing me, I want to see my aunt before I die…”
“She brought me up from childhood…”
Mrs. Li looked at the terrified Emperor, and sighed slightly: “Indeed, if your aunt returns to the capital, I won’t be able to kill you again, but she has at least two months to return to the capital, so long The time, I can wait, those generals of the Southwest Army can’t wait.”
Having said this, Li Xin paused and continued: “At that time, your brother who is about to sit on the throne may also be unable to wait to kill you.”
“Too many people want you dead.”
Li Xin closed his eyes and exhaled a suffocating breath: “To tell you the truth, it’s me, and I don’t really want to leave you such a calamity.”
The emperor gritted his teeth so hard that he couldn’t say a word.
“Because you called me uncle and you are my first student, you can tell me what you want, and if I can help you, I will try my best to help you.”
Emperor Yuanzhao knelt down opposite Li Xin, his voice full of decadence: “Teacher… How many years can Da Jin have the surname Ji?”
“After you kill me, it won’t be long before the sixth brother will die at your hands.”
Li Xin frowned slightly: “It’s too early to say anything now, you are not smart enough to be a prophet, how do you know that I will kill him?”
“As for the future, let’s take one step at a time.”
The Emperor, who was only 21 years old, slumped on the ground, with tears streaming down his face: “If Dajin changes his surname in my hands, how can I have the face to meet my ancestors when I go underground…”
“rest assured.”
Li Xin’s face was calm: “Even if you want to change your surname in this world, it will be changed in the hands of your brother, and it has nothing to do with you.”
The conversation between the two people came to this point, and the emperor finally gave up the idea of survival. He lowered his head and raised his rice bowl, took a few bites of rice, and then lowered his head, because there was still food in his mouth, and his speech was a little slurred.
“The female family in the palace…”
He was only halfway through what he said when he was interrupted by Li Xin.
“This is nothing to worry about. You and the sixth prince are brothers with the same father and mother, and your relatives are his relatives. After he ascends the throne, what will the palace be like before?”
Having said that, Li Xin looked at the embarrassed emperor and said slowly: “Tomorrow morning, the new emperor will be enthroned in Weiyang Palace, and it will be better if you can hand him the national seal, if you are unwilling to do so, it will be better. It doesn’t matter, I’ve been scolded so much, it’s not less than decent.”
The emperor lowered his head, his voice a little hoarse.
“Teacher, I want to meet Sixth Brother in private…”
“no.”
This time Li Xin refused very bluntly, he said indifferently: “As of now, neither of your brothers can make any waves, and I won’t let you see him because I’m not afraid of your plans, but because I’m afraid of you. kill him.”
“After you ascended the throne, you inexplicably put me, the teacher arranged for you by the late emperor, on the opposite side. Before the late emperor died, under that circumstance, you still called me back to the capital to entrust me with the funeral. The deep meaning of it is obvious.”
“Your thoughts went wrong from the root, and you will come to today’s dead end step by step. I don’t want you to say a few words, and then kill the new emperor.”
The emperor bowed his head and remained silent.
After Li Xin said this, he bent down and poured a glass of wine for Emperor Yuan Zhao, and then filled the glass in front of him.
“Let’s not talk about this, we have been mentoring and apprentice, and we haven’t sat down and had a drink together.”
“The moonlight is nice tonight, I’ll accompany you to have a good drink.”
The Emperor silently raised his glass and touched Li Xin.
Master and apprentice sat in the Weiyang Palace and had the first drink in their lives.
is also the last one.
