Two days later.

Princess Gao Yang fell into a deep sleep on the couch, breathing deeply, with one hand out of the quilt, holding Qin Mubai's hand and refused to relax. As soon as Qin Mubai moved, she held it tighter, and she was pleasantly surprised soon.

Looking at her gloomy face and thin outline, Qin Mubai felt a pain in her heart.

This girl has not slept for two days and two nights. After crying dry and hoarse her throat, Qin Mubai was really worried that she would be crazy.

Li You's body has been confined, and the coffin is ready to be shipped to Chang'an. Yin Hongzhi had been cremated, and his ashes were put in a small jar.

Qin Mubai had a feeling at this time. A person, no matter whether he was a great **** or a great good, after death, everything becomes a cloud of smoke.

Previously, Qin Mubai had very resolutely wanted to kill Yin Hongzhi, dreaming of various ways to kill him, and how to calm Princess Gaoyang’s trauma afterwards. But now, when Yin Hongzhi died, Qin Mubai realized that he didn't hate him anymore.

Yin Hongzhi, he has lived in hatred and shadow all his life, so he was distorted and abnormal in his heart, and he did things that ordinary people cannot tolerate.

But now Qin Mubai thinks the other way around... What if he is himself, witnessing his parents, wives and children being killed, and his sister being taken captive by the enemy?

Is it possible that I have done more than Yin Hongzhi? ...

Because of the different positions and different interests, there are contradictions and festivals between people. From the standpoint of Yin Hongzhi, he is full of blood and blood, how can he be written off? From the standpoint of others, he was frantic, and for his own personal vengeance, he deliberately used his own nephew to kill thousands of people.

Perhaps at the last moment, Yin Hongzhi discovered that his hatred had already been repaid—because Li You had blatantly rebelled against his father and brought an earthquake-like disaster to Datang. Or perhaps, his hatred was lost to Princess Gao Yang’s persistent and sincere family love. His conscience was repented, especially after witnessing Li You’s death, he fell in love with the world without heart, so he fell to the city and committed suicide...

Perhaps, everyone has different answers to Yin Hongzhi's suicide. But Qin Mubai is most willing to believe that at the last moment of his life, like Li You, he still retains the last dignity and conscience.

He doesn't want to imagine and understand human nature as ugly, especially when accompanied by Ling'er like an angel.

Yes, Linger is an angel, and Qin Mubai believes so firmly.

Yin Hongzhi's paranoia and madness, such hatred and sins, failed to completely wipe out the holy and kind place in Ling'er's heart. Even when the thought of killing Yin Hongzhi and ending everything was in her mind, she still remembered the kindness and favor of Yin Hongzhi for her.

Qin Mubai also understood why Ling'er and Yin Hongzhi completely turned their faces, and Meng gave birth to the desire to kill him and then be happy.

This decision that made her painful and distracting, perhaps, it was she who prompted her to make it.

Because Linger understands him, knowing that since he is here, she has made up her mind and wants to take the initiative to take on everything.

The way to undertake this is to kill Yin Hongzhi personally and solve everything!

As long as Yin Hongzhi dies, Li You can transfer most of the responsibilities to him, and maybe he can find a way to survive;

As long as Yin Hongzhi dies, especially on the hands of Qin Mubai, Qin Mubai and Li Ke can clear the suspicion;

As long as Yin Hongzhi dies, Xiangcheng rebels will not defeat themselves, and the people of a city can be saved from military disasters...

In short, Yin Hongzhi is the source of all evils. Solving him means solving everything!

But... if Qin Mubai really killed him, it would definitely leave a shadow in Princess Gao Yang's heart. After all, it was one of her closest relatives.

Apparently, Princess Gao Yang thought of this layer.

So she made such a decision, not to let Yin Hongzhi die in Qin Mubai's hands, she would rather do it herself!

She would rather hate and torture herself, rather than leave a shadow between her and Qin Mubai!

……

The angel fell in love with mortals, but she belongs to heaven. Unable to refuse the thoughts of home, and even less willing to leave and hurt mortals, the angel broke off his wings and allowed himself to bear the sadness of missing and physical pain...

Qin Mubai thought of this beautiful and sad fairy tale. At this moment, Ling'er is an angel, he is the vulgar and snobbish mortal...

After sitting in the room for more than an hour, Princess Gao Yang finally fell asleep. She rolled over and let go of her hand without being free.

Qin Mubai walked out lightly and found that Yin Yang had been standing outside waiting for him for a long time.

"What's the matter?"

"Li Ji sent someone to invite. The messenger has been waiting outside the hall for more than an hour. I will not dare to let him in and disturb."

"Got it."

When I came to the front hall and met with the messenger, Qin Mubai tidied up a bit and went to see Li Ji in the military camp outside the city.

Li You presents the city, Yin Hongzhi committed suicide, and destroys himself without attacking the city. The remaining thousands of rebels, headed by Princess Gaoyang, are pleased to surrender.

Qin Mubai and Li Ji didn't expect such an ending.

Winning without a fight is a battle on the upper level in terms of warfare.

But there was one "biggest" accident: Li You committed suicide by taking poison!

This is probably the last thing the emperor wants to see.

Seeing Li Ji, the two of them are tacitly thinking about this matter in their hearts.

"In the city, the remaining bandits are being suppressed to appease the local officials. After three days of rest and reorganization, the class teacher will return to Beijing." Li Ji's eyes flashed with a glint, and he said briefly, "You go with me."

"Yeah." Qin Mubai nodded.

Li Ji came forward, looked at him quietly, and patted him on the shoulder: "Something unexpected. Your Majesty, you have to figure out how to deal with it."

"I know." Qin Mubai nodded again.

"This commander also has the responsibility and will not shy away. When the time comes, I will face the saint with you." Li Ji said.

"No need." Qin Mubai said, "One person does the job, the other person, if I hadn't appeared rashly, King Qi might not be so radical. I will bear this responsibility."

Li Ji frowned: "I am the commander of the armed forces. I will not let you in. How did you appear under the gate of Xiangcheng City? Needless to say. Li Ji has never had the habit of shirking responsibility, let alone avoiding the importance. Ingenious words and expressions. What the facts are, we will directly present the holy face, and then let His Majesty the Emperor decide."

"Well...Uncle Shi, thanks." Qin Mubai smiled.

"Nothing to thank." Li Ji smiled slightly and said, "In fact, when I was willing to let you in, I should have expected such an ending. Now that things have happened, I feel calm. Right and accept it!—Her Royal Highness Gao Yang, how is the situation?"

"Fortunately," Qin Mubai said, "I finally fell asleep just now."

"Hey...Fortunately, she is fine." Li Ji sighed leisurely, "Actually, Li You and Yin Hongzhi died like this, but they are a hundred. Those who are left are really pitying."

Qin Mubai fell silent for a while. For the first time, he felt his incompetence. Once upon a time, he had sworn in his heart that he would never let Ling'er and Mei Niang be hurt and traumatized. At that time in Xiangzhou, after Li You kidnapped him to assassinate the prince, Qin Mubai did his best to detain Li You without death. After all, didn’t do all this for Ling'er?

But in the end...It's really not as good as the sky!

"You don't have to blame yourself. Everyone has his own fate. This may be the destiny of King Qi." Li Ji seemed to see through Qin Mubai's mind and said, "The man stands between the sky and the earth, but he asks for everything. It is worthy; success or failure is not all that you can grasp. It is not a bad thing to suffer a bit of setback."

"Uncle Xie called." Qin Mubai smiled slightly, feeling a lot more cheerful.

Li Ji nodded and smiled: "Mu Bai, be calm, let everything go as it is, don't worry too much. Today's sage is a wise and understanding sage, who knows everything."

"Well, I know." Qin Mubai nodded.

"Now, I'll go back to Xiangyang to make arrangements." Li Ji said, "Bring your soldiers and horses back, rectify them, and hand over military affairs, and prepare to go to Beijing with me in a few days. By the way, that Xue Rengui, who is this?"

Qin Mubai couldn't help but smile: "Why, Shishu is interested in him?"

"Haha!" Li Ji smiled, "I am afraid that there are not many people in this world who can make Xue Wanche surrender in the first place. This Xue Rengui is today the next best-in-class warrior. Since I met, How can I not ask more?"

Qin Mubai smiled, and briefly told Li Ji about Xue Rengui's origin and identity.

"Oh, it turns out that you still have this ability to know people? It's a good thing. It's a good thing. Presumably, I have added a strongman to my Datang!" Li Ji patted Qin Mubai on the shoulder, cheerfully laughing out loud.

Qin Mubai also laughed, but he laughed a little thief: "I thought that Shishu had moved to dig a corner!"

"Cough!" Li Ji coughed dryly, "If it were yours, I would not be polite. It's King Wu..."

"Haha!" Qin Mubai laughed, "Aren't they all from Datang?"

"That's right." Li Ji smiled relieved, "Yesterday, King Wu and Chu Suiliang once came to my camp. They both went to Chang'an first today. That Xue Rengui also went with him. ."

"Oh, King Wu is gone?"

"Yeah." Li Ji nodded and said meaningfully, "Mu Bai, no matter how deeply we are ministers, we are separated by a layer after all. No matter how strange the royal family is, After all, it’s a family, blood is thicker than water. Do you know what I mean?"

"Yes, I understand." Qin Mubai nodded. He knew that Li Ji's meaning was nothing more than persuading him, or it was better not to get too close with Li Ke. At this moment, walking too close with any prince is a danger signal. For example, even if Li You raised the flag and rebelled, Li Shimin sent troops to fight the rebellion with great fanfare, but the first thought was "capture" Li You. As for Yin Hongzhi and other people who "instigated and surrendered", they are bound to die.

To put it more clearly, even if the prince makes a mistake, he still has the blood kinship gold medal on his head; on the contrary, the people around him are sure to die.

This is also the reason why successive generations of dynasties and contending for reserve are so dangerous. If you stand on the wrong team at this time, it means that your head will fall.

At present, this court is obviously the stage for the prince Li Chengqian and Wei Wang Li Tai. Although Li Chengqian is not wicked, he has the natural advantage of his eldest son, backed by the traditional "rules" of the reserve. As for Li Tai, Wenzhi's outstanding and far-reaching mentality is more in line with Li Shimin's standards for his successor. The current voices are louder than ever.

No matter which of these two people wins in the end, it can be expected that they are unlikely to miss Li Ke, who is similar to Li Shimin in the end.

Analyzing from this point, standing in Li Ke's "team" is indeed dangerous.

Li Ji is a well-known "centrist" in the court. He is not partial to any prince, but the emperor's order is obeyed. As early as when Li Shimin was competing with Li Jiancheng, he did not favor anyone. Even Li Shimin drew him over to stand in line, but he refused. Similar to him, there is Li Jing.

Not only did this not affect their future, Li Shimin actually trusted their "uprightness" and "loyalty" more.

Qin Mubai seemed to sniff out some meanings in Li Ji's words, to persuade him to "maintain neutrality".

"Mu Bai, you are a smart person, so I won't say much." Li Ji smiled, "It's rare for Wei Gong to accept you as a disciple and pass on your art of war. You should cherish the opportunity and use your intelligence , The right way is to use it where it should be used."

These words are more straightforward.

Qin Mu Baixin nodded his head, "Xie Shishu is very instructive. After I return to Beijing, I will go to the Wei Gong Mansion to ask for more advice. I will concentrate on studying the art of war without asking about chores."

"Well, children can be taught." Li Ji smiled and nodded, "Also, the area around Guanlong seems to be very lively recently. Your old father may be a little busy in Lanzhou. When I went to Chang'an, keep an eye on it and see if you can. Find an opportunity to help your father."

"Oh, there is war in Guan Long?" Qin Mubai couldn't help being a little surprised.

"Oh, military affairs are to be discussed, but I didn't say anything." Li Ji smiled and said, "Anyway, when you go to Chang'an, you will understand everything."

"Um... OK." Qin Mubai thought about it in his heart. Hearing what Li Ji meant, it seemed that I was "self-invited" to be transferred from Xiangzhou and marched to the border to fight!

Is this also what the emperor entrusted him to convey?

Thinking about it carefully, Qin Mubai thinks it is very likely. After coming to Xiangzhou for a year, he and Li Ke got together and did a lot of things. The emperor saw it in his eyes, and thought in his heart-after going back and forth, is Qin Mubai my person, or is he Li Ke's person?

The emperor has his own mind. Is it a good thing for a capable courtier to be too close to his own emperor, especially if a capable official is too close to the emperor?

As early as that year, Emperor Wude killed Liu Wenjing. Wasn't it because he was a loyal loyal to Li Shimin? The underlying reason is certainly not Liu Wenjing's rebellion, which is rumored by the outside world. On the contrary, Liu Wenjing was a bit arrogant by nature, and didn't treat the emperor Li Yuan very much, except for Li Shimin. Liu Wenjing himself still followed the hero of Yuanmou when Li Yuan launched his army in Taiyuan. At that time, his abilities and reputation were generally better than those of Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.

"He still has such a destiny, let alone Qin Mubai in my own area?" Qin Mubai began to reflect deeply-after Li You's rebellion, Li Shimin will definitely increase the pressure of censorship and regulation on his sons. This can be seen from the fact that he recruited Li Ke back to the capital the first time. After this, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to work with Li Ke in the same state as before.

Keeping a distance and drawing a clear line between positions may be good for both of you.

The court is so sinister, and the politics is so cold. Family affection can be wiped out, let alone friendship?

Qin Mubai sighed in his heart, nodded and said: "Uncle Shi, I understand. After returning to the court, I know what to do."

"Well, I know that you have always had a very good understanding, so I don't have to say more." Li Ji said, "Just remember what I said. A man stands in the world, but I hope you have a clear conscience."

"Yes, I remember." Qin Mubai nodded.

The Li Ji in front of him now owns half of the world's forces in the official residence, and he is powering half of the Tangshan, Shandong and Hebei provinces. The so-called not being jealous is a mediocre person, who is above the court, but many people call him for being exquisite and exquisite.

Actually, what is wrong with a gentleman who seeks fortune and avoids evil? In other words, is smart too wrong?

If you really understand Li Ji, you know that he is not a villain. In his heart, there is a sense of morality and justice. But ask for a clear conscience, not to be abducted, and to behave without a conscience.

Qin Mubai felt that after Li You, he should learn to be smarter.

The reality is so, he and Li Ke are not allowed to make their own ears and steal the bells, and to be a pair of friends in the court. Since vulgarity is inevitable, it is better to learn from Li Ji and be smarter.

Keeping a distance to draw a clear stand, is not to cut the robe and fight against each other. It's good to have everything in your heart. Like Li Ji said, he has a clear conscience.
