Summer wraps autumn, water keeps wind

Chapter 114

Before it rained, Liji invited the King of Weiyi back to the Zhai Palace to speak, and the two elder brothers were carried back to Panchitai for treatment.But the hurried footsteps were not faster than the night rain that followed the trend.

"Reporting to the master, there is a change outside the palace."

"The people from the school affairs office have come out for activities?"

"No, just"

Liji interrupted the visitor and said, "You can handle it yourself."

"Yes."

All the way to the fasting palace.

"Father."

Liji returned the sword to the King of Weiyi with both hands. The King of Weiyi stood under the eaves, looked at the water marks on Liji's face, took the sword silently, walked into the inner hall of the fasting palace, and pressed the sword in front of the table. Lock the door, only father and son are left in the temple.

"Liji, order some soldiers, send a secret letter to the people outside the city, and enter the city tonight. After a while, you will personally go to ask for the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, whoever dares to stop you will be killed!"

The King of Weiyi supported the table with both hands, and frowned. The raindrops dripped down the crown and wet the table.

Liji dusted the water off his clothes, turned on the teacup, covered the side facing his father with his hand, poured him a cup of the freshly brewed hot tea, poured another cup of tea for himself, and then sat down.

"Father, drink a cup of tea to warm yourself up." Liji said softly, holding the teacup in his hand.

"You bastard, what time is it, you still look like this, you are really just like your mother, why do you eat fast and chant Buddha when you marry into the mansion, you have a weak temper, you can't stand up!" King Weiyi was furious, knocked over the cup Riji shouted,

Liji still sat still, reached out for a new cup and poured a cup of tea for the king of Weiyi, saying, "Father, drink quickly."

King Weiyi's face was livid, his eyelids twitched twice, and as soon as he raised his hand, he slapped Liji on the ground with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

"Do you know what time it is now? Once the opportunity is missed, you and I will die without a place to die! Hurry up and do as your father said, don't be soft-hearted at critical times, and feel sorry for your little brother on the throne." The King of Weiyi pointed Seeing Li Ji coldly threatened.

"Father, isn't the tea your son poured for you hot enough? The son will pour you another cup." Li Ji let the blood flow from the corner of his mouth, and his deep palm prints turned blue on his cheeks.

Li Ji poured out the cup of tea from the King of Hawaii and poured out a new one, handing it over.

"What do you mean, you want to kill your father?" The King of Weiyi looked at the cup of tea and reached out to pull out the saber, but found that the saber was sealed and he couldn't pull out the blade at all.He took off his sword when he returned to the fasting palace just now, so it must have been his hands and feet at that time.

He rushed to the door, but only heard a sentence behind him: "Father doesn't want to die without a whole body."

"You...rebellious son, be bold!" the king of Weiyi panicked, lost his prestige just now, gasped, pointed his sword at Liji and said.

Li Ji drank the tea in one gulp, turned the empty teacup over his head, turned around and poured another cup, and said, "Father, drink it, it's non-toxic."

"What do you want?" King Weiyi watched Liji's every move coldly.

"I just want father to drink a cup of tea for his son, and then talk about other things." Liji held the tea ceremony with both hands.

The king of Weiyi clenched his saber tightly, and the spike of the sword was trembling. He took the tea and drank it all with his eyes closed. It turned out to be his favorite Guzhang Maojian.

"Go ahead." King Weiyi glanced at the teacup, sat back in the chair, and his voice softened.

"Father, do you miss your mother?"

King Weiyi frowned and glared, but he couldn't get angry. He tapped his fingers on the table anxiously, and said casually: "I worshiped before the flag was opened."

"Mother said she missed you very much."

The king of Weiyi looked at Liji's smile, and his whole body was terrified. He knew that Liji was the disciple of the great shaman who made an exception. He was quite skilled in witchcraft and could understand ghosts and gods.

"She doesn't believe in Chusu, so how do you know her?" King Weiyi panicked, but forced himself to calm down.

Liji walked to the bedside, opened the small drawer, and there was a stack of family books inside.

"I thought my father would see it, but you didn't care." Li Ji picked up a letter from home and said.

"In this situation, who cares about this?" King Weiyi suppressed his anger and tried his best to be kind and said, "Liji, we will talk about these trivial matters later. The military situation is urgent now. If the news about your two elder brothers spreads, it will disturb the morale of the army. We can only make a quick decision to avoid future troubles!"

"Thinking of the bitter cold in the north, the prince has worked hard, so he must prepare more blankets, and my son will also guard against the cold spring in the coming year..."

"Liji! That's enough."

Liji put down the letter in his hand, watched the king of Weiyi close his eyes in pain, and rubbed his forehead.

"Is it enough? My son thinks it's not enough, it's far from enough." Liji put down the family letter left by his mother, walked up to the King of Weiyi and said, "In the past six months, my mother wrote 25 family letters mentioning that my father had 510 words, and you There are only 27 words in the five official letters to my son, three secret letters, and one family letter that mentions my mother. Among them, the family letter written because of my mother’s death is only [-] words to mourn her. My son just wants to ask you , you have been so indifferent to your mother all these years, and she died alone in the end, don't you feel guilty?"

"Guilty? Isn't it good for my father to treat her? She has been the mistress of the mansion all these years. When is she not with her during the holidays? She believes in Buddhism and invited gods in the house. If her father does not allow As a father, you have never touched the position of your eldest son, and you have painstakingly raised him, what is there for you to be dissatisfied with?"

Liji smiled, patted the back of King Weiyi's chair, and leaned over to look at his father's puzzled and resentful eyes, he just thought it was ridiculous.

"You, you shouldn't have married her!" Li Ji's jealousy turned red.

"Bastard." The King of Weiyi said in a low voice.

"Now the concubine is worthy of my father. The secret work that Quan Rong has raised for many years, entered the court under the name of An's name, isn't it just to spy on information? Brother took her line and brought you on this treasonous journey." The way to power."

Liji patted the back of the chair hard, stood up with his mouth tight, and asked in an extremely puzzled tone: "Face, power and position are really so important, why do you treat the people around you who respect you like this? For the dignity and honor of the family For the sake of your so-called principles and rules, you scolded and scolded me, but never showed any warmth. My son has never been loved by you for so many years, never..."

Liji couldn't continue, he clenched his teeth, tears rolled down his cheeks, he hurriedly turned his back and wiped them with his sleeve, the blood and tears on his clothes melted into a ball.

"Why? I told you for my father, it is for your own good! Isn't it because your father urged you to study hard? Everyone praises your gentlemanly conduct, and Zhilan's upbringing is all because of my father's strict requirements. Without being a father, how could there be you? A rebellious son who doesn't know what is good or bad, a rebellious son!"

The king of Weiyi couldn't help but smashed the teapot and scolded bitterly.

"But I don't have a good day!"

Liji hugged his head and closed his eyes. As soon as the words came out, the tears couldn't be swallowed back, and he turned from sobbing to crying bitterly. He opened his eyes and saw that there was no understanding or sympathy in his father's shocked eyes, but he gradually became vigilant.

Liji patted his chest, kept shaking his head and said: "I thought I hated you, but I don't know why, I think you can understand me once, can drink a cup of tea made by your son lovingly, and then say that you have worked hard all these years Now, don’t be too hard on yourself in the future, just be safe and happy.”

"Just loving Xi'er once, is it difficult, is it difficult, is it really that difficult?"

Liji's emotional backlog has reached the limit, and the suppressed emotions for so many years have almost caused him to collapse. He doesn't want to care about his identity, he doesn't want to care about his dignity, and he is not afraid of anyone saying anything to mock him or despise him. He just wants to ask his father, why Let him live so depressed.

"You're crazy, what are you talking nonsense about? Now your brother's life and death are unknown, and the army outside the city is staring at you, but you're trying to question your father about the details?" King Weiyi's expression became gloomy, and suddenly he turned ruthlessly. Spicy eyes fell on Liji, and he said coldly: "I am your father. Being a father means that you die immediately, and you have to die too. If the father wants the son to die, the son has to die. What you say is simply ridiculous. It's ridiculous, all these years of upbringing have been wasted, wasted."

At this time, a person hurriedly came up from outside and shouted through the door: "Report to master! The two masters have passed away!"

"Understood, let's go down."

Liji tried his best to calm down the anger in his chest, and said in a low voice.

"What, how could it be? Someone must have conspired. Who in the end killed them, neither you nor me, how could it be?" King Weiyi murmured as he smashed his fist on the table, and then said to Liji: "Xi'er, No matter what dissatisfaction you have as a father, if you don't do it now, not only you and me, but the whole Yi family will be ruined. Xi'er, I beg you for my father, don't be confused!"

The king of Weiyi pinched Liji's shoulder, sweating profusely.

"Father, don't you know the retribution of heaven? This is the gods and ghosts punishing them! It's a curse! It's a debt! This is the justice they owe, and they should pay with their lives!"

"What do you know?"

Liji looked up at the inner hall with carved beams and painted buildings, not letting the tears come out again.

"Liu Huanghu, he didn't die from assassination or suicide, but from deception and greed. So, father, shouldn't the elder brothers pay for their lives? They did it, and the son was just a substitute. "

"Snapped"

The small bottle was knocked on the table by Li Ji.

"Father loves to drink tea, and brothers love to eat fish."

"you......"

Seeing that the King of Weiyi was about to vomit, Liji opened the bottle and handed it to his father, "Does it smell like tea?"

The King of Weiyi frowned at the smell.

"It's impossible for ordinary people not to smell such a strong fishy smell in the food, but do you know why the elder brothers can eat it? Because the son told them that it was a carp in the imperial lake. Maybe the smell of power will To cover up all the stench."

The king of Weiyi slumped into the chair and said weakly: "Why, what are you doing for it? Killing your brother and taking your father is just for your own pleasure?" The doubt in King Weiyi's eyes gradually turned into fear.

"I see. You killed me first, and then the emperor. You want to be the emperor yourself, and then avenge your mother and your friends."

Liji looked at his terrified father and found it even more ridiculous, so he said: "Father is confused. Liji only has five thousand soldiers and horses in his hand. Even if he takes advantage of the chaos to succeed, he will be attacked by all parties in a few days, and he will die without a place to bury him. Son , I don’t want to die yet.”

"The son set up such a big game because he wanted to invite the father to come to Beijing, and then hand over the things you shouldn't have, and then pay for the sins you committed in the first half of your life."

Liji put his arms around the shoulders of the King of Weiyi and continued: "You owe your mother a lifetime of happiness, and you should repent in front of the Buddha until you can say sorry to her face to face. Do you think this Zhai Palace is very suitable for you to live in?"
