The Path Toward Heaven Chapter 127: Ask to death
He has only one majesty.
The young emperor knew this very well, and said with endless grievances: "I am an unfamiliar wolf cub, what about you?"
He Zhan stretched out his hand to tuck the corner of the bed for him, and said nothing.
The young emperor gasped and said: "I have respected you for many years, just like a real uncle, but... still can't soften your heart, you never thought about letting me live to adulthood... Yeah... just like The people outside the palace said the same, you will kill me, and then change to a new little emperor, and when he gets older, he will die for some inexplicable...wonderful reasons. Then you will pick another little emperor, anyway. ...Anyway...there are many royal children."
He Zhan said: "It is very troublesome to pick a child to be the emperor, and I don't want to."
The young emperor did not know where to give birth to a strength, and shouted angrily: "But then you can be emperor forever!"
He Zhan was silent for a while and said: "You are wrong. The reason why I want to kill you is not because I want to be the emperor, but because you don't recognize your father."
The young emperor's voice gradually became lower, and he muttered: "But I am not the son of the first emperor... I have not even seen him a few times."
"You are not wrong, but he is my friend. If you refuse to be his son, he will be the last."
He Zhan said: "I have to pick him another emperor who is willing to be his son."
The young emperor suddenly laughed out loud, looking a little crazy, and said: "Is it because you can't give birth to make you care about this?"
He Zhan stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Get a good rest."
……
……
The young emperor died and left peacefully in his sleep, without suffering any pain.
There was no turmoil in the imperial court, and there was not even much discussion among the people. The Hejian Mansion showed signs of instability and was quickly suppressed.
Until this time, officials in the imperial court and certain people in the palace really understood how strong He Gonggong's control of the country was.
Many people then remembered those rumors related to Father He.
He doesn't drink, ask for food, don't care about luxury, don't play chess, don't be crazy about mountains, don't be greedy for the lake, and don't have any hobbies.
He gets up early every morning and goes to bed very late. It is said that he only sleeps for two hours at most, so where is his time spent?
Only the cronies of the Jishi Factory know how diligent He Gonggong is in practice, how diligent he is in dealing with government affairs, and he is tireless in studying and studying every day~ IndoMTL.com~ The purpose of learning is to improve the realm of strength and strengthen as soon as possible. Ability to handle state affairs.
As for those conspiracies or foresight, they all belong to the category of pondering and dealing with people, and they don’t need much energy for the experienced father-in-law.
When you leave the old, you must welcome the new. The throne cannot be left empty. The establishment of a new monarch is imminent.
Only two people are qualified to discuss this matter.
In the quiet Yuan Palace.
The Queen Mother looked at He Zhan, her face pale and said: "What on earth do you want to be an emperor? Do you really want to seize the country left by the first emperor?"
She has never had children since she married the first emperor. In recent years, she has taken the young emperor to study in the palace and listened to politics in the upper ranks. It is inevitable that she has some feelings.
He Zhan did not answer her question, and said: "Pick a smaller one, it's better not to have a note yet."
The queen mother said sharply: "It doesn't matter who you choose! You don't want to move another finger on this matter!"
He Zhan said calmly: "Why be so wary of me?"
The queen mother stared into his eyes, with a strong hatred, gritted her teeth and said: "You have killed two emperors, do you want to kill the third one?"
Hearing these words, He Zhan was silent for a long time and said: "So in your heart, he has been killed by me."
The queen mother said: "Isn't it?"
He Zhan said: "The man in black killed me back then. I was seriously injured and could not wake up, so I could only lie in your bedroom. Why didn't you do it at that time?"
The queen mother turned her head and looked out the window without speaking.
He Zhan suddenly stepped forward, reached out his hand and turned her face, stared into her eyes and said, "Are you afraid of me?"
The Queen Mother exclaimed in anger: "What are you going to do?"
He Zhan said blankly, "Answer my question."
The queen mother sneered and said: "You are an **** who kills the king and takes power, messes with the palace, and the family is in this palace. How can you not be afraid of you?"
He Zhan shook his head and said, "No, the reason you are afraid of me is because you want to kill me."
The Queen Mother is slightly stiff.
He Zhan released his finger, looked at the night palace outside the window, and said: "You know that you have subdued several generals secretly. I know you have been in contact with Xianyang City. I know that you have arranged it on Qi State. Lu, I also know that when you treated your wounds in your palace, the medicine you boiled yourself had chronic poison."
The queen mother's face became paler.
"Drips of water can wear stones, and drops of poison can kill people, but that is too slow and too tiring."
He Zhan looked at the clouds in the night sky illuminated by stars, sighed and said, "It's really tiring to live like this."
A desperate look appeared in the Queen Mother’s eyes and said: "So you are going to let me die."
"You think too much, I promised your Majesty to protect you, but it seems unnecessary now."
He Zhan said: "But I still want to tell you that there is no poison in the medicine I boiled for His Majesty."
After saying this, he walked outside the hall.
Looking at his back, the queen mother suddenly had a very complicated emotion and shouted: "What are you going to do?"
He Zhan stopped, didn't turn around, and said, "I don't know, I just feel a little tired. It seems that I haven't had a good sleep for many years."
Under the shining light of the stars, the clouds are lined with a clear silver edge, as is the surface of the black cloak.
Under the guard of dozens of **** masters, He Zhan walked outside the imperial city, his boots stepped on the cold stone slab, making a dull sound.
Just like his mood at this time.
Seeing the truth in a false illusion is the goal of every person who asks the Tao.
He Zhan saw a different picture.
What he saw is that even in the real world, there is still no truth.
Everything is meaningless.
He finally understood why Jing Jiu didn't hand over Chu Kingdom to him, and why his aunt wanted to go to Guocheng Temple by herself.
Because he will see these someday.
……
……
"It turns out I am a born monk."
In a quiet restaurant, He Zhan was listening to the wind, holding a pot of wine, and muttering to himself.
There are more than ten hip flasks piled under the table.
Inside and outside the restaurant, including in the streets not far away, there are **** masters and Tiqi everywhere.
Everyone feels that his father-in-law has some emotional problems today. Otherwise, how could he drink so much with such strict self-management?
He's in a bad mood, Zhao Guo may be in trouble, and the world will be in trouble.
This made everyone very nervous, and the Imperial Army, the City Gate Division, and even the military department were already prepared.
Seize the palace, or send troops to Qin.
"Go and bring that person here." He Zhan said suddenly.
Several subordinates glanced at each other, their expressions were a little strange, that's what they thought?
Is the father-in-law finally going to see that person?
How important is that person?
There are a lot of secrets in the anti-incident factory, and there are also many strange things.
The one that most officials don't understand is a practitioner named Jiang Rui.
There is a special department in the anti-drug factory that is responsible for monitoring and controlling this person for many years. It has even been heard that the department has existed since the anti-drug factory was first built. But how the anti-drug factory officials think, that person is extremely ordinary. , There is no place to be vigilant, spending so much money and energy on it, it is better to kill directly.
The cultivator named Jiang Rui is now the elder Keqing of a certain sect in Lushan County, not far from the capital. With the ability of the arrest factory, coupled with decades of surveillance preparation, it is very easy The ground subdued this person, and then took him back to the capital overnight.
When Jiang Rui was escorted to the restaurant and knelt on the ground, He Zhan was still drinking, but the number of hip flasks under the table had become more than 30, piled like a mountain.
"Here?" He Zhan said, looking at Jiang Rui.
His tone is very indifferent, just like a friend he often meets.
Jiang Rui has been going well over the years. Relying on his cultivation talent and the ability to drill camp, he succeeded in becoming the guest of a sect. He was thinking about how he could go to the capital to find opportunities, but the suzerain suddenly turned his face tonight. The disciples rushed up, then handed him over to a group of men in black and escorted him to the capital.
While on the road, he was shocked and uneasy. He guessed countless possibilities, but couldn't think of any clues as to what powerful person was going to deal with him.
Listening to that greeting, he plucked up the courage to raise his head and saw a completely unfamiliar face. After being taken aback, he quickly humbled and asked: "Dare to ask the lord’s name? What's the matter?"
When he thought about it, this middle-aged and feminine man in brocade clothes, who can make the sect so obedient, must be a big man in the capital, but he did not kill himself immediately. It should be a place where he can be useful, such as using himself To assassinate the enemy in the court and so on.
"So you forgot everything."
He Zhan showed a self-deprecating smile: "Well then, let me tell you a story."
The story began many years ago in the real world. Two talented casual practitioners met outside a certain valley and ate a grilled fish...
Many years later, they entered the Qingtianjian together and began to ask.
……
……
Jiang Rui has long forgotten those past events, was shocked and speechless, and muttered: "You mean, we are not people in this world?"
He Zhan said: "Yes, to the people in this world, we are the immortals who have gone into the mortal world."
"Am I a fairy?"
Jiang Rui feels so incredible. Thinking about the difficulties and hardships in this world, he has infinite emotion and of course more ecstasy.
He took a few deep breaths before he calmed down a bit, and asked, "Then you are now?"
He Zhan said: "I work in the palace. My name is He. You may have heard of me."
Jiang Rui was shocked again, even more shocked than before, because Father He's reputation is so great!
"You are the father-in-law! How is this possible?"
"Yes, yes, you said we are immortals, then of course we should be so powerful."
"No, since we are companions, why didn't you come to me before?"
The more Jiang Rui thought, the more chaotic he became, and the more chaotic he said.
"Don't worry, you will slowly remember everything."
He Zhan threw away the hip flask in his hand, took the white towel and wiped his hands, and said, "It's just that I'm not sure if you want to remember those things."
……
……
The adoptive mother was killed~IndoMTL.com~ was sold everywhere by traffickers and beaten countless times.
I was castrated into the palace, struggling to survive in the palace, and I don't know how much pain I encountered.
He Zhan has never forgotten those things, so Jiang Rui must also remember.
It didn't take long for Jiang Rui to remember those things, and his face instantly paled.
The most painful time for people who are lost in the world is not to die in confusion, but the moment they wake up to face the truth.
"It turns out...You are still alive...You actually entered the palace...It turns out that you are Father He."
Jiang Rui tried to explain what happened back then, his lips moved, but after all he couldn't say anything.
He Zhan wiped his dirty stool with a towel, then sat down, looked at Jiang Rui who was kneeling on the ground, and asked: "How do you like to die?"
