Emperor Phoenix

Chapter 146

It has been several days since Li Li's case, and Xiao Jue has not contacted her. Qin Changge knows well that this person has something on his mind, and she doesn't bother to explain, so let him think about it quietly.

This time Xiao Jue made an appointment at Shangshan Mountain. In June, Shangshan Mountain is cool and shaded, with lush flowers and fragrant flowers. From time to time, birds chirp past and the pine waves plunder. In this secluded mountain forest, there is a special kind of silence.

Going up in the opposite direction along a bend of clear spring, the sound of water ding-dong, like pearls falling on a jade plate, at the end of the water flow, halfway up the mountain, there is a pavilion named Fufeng.

Swinging and riding the wind, flying thousands of miles, such a broad name, just in line with the turbulent water under the pavilion, the surging water, the extraordinary artistic conception, reminds Qin Changge of visiting Shangshan Mountain last night, on the top of the mountain, it will be the eternal spring. Suxuan, who was slowly poured into the water to pay homage, that day his clothes were like snow, his expression was mournful, and his elegant and unrestrained posture seemed to be going away with the wind.

Thinking of Suxuan, Qin Changge couldn't help sighing again.

Ever since this person returned to Yingdu, he has been seeing his head and tail, which is really strange...

Before he finished sighing, someone said in the pavilion: "You are walking so fast, your martial arts have really improved."

Qin Changge looked up and saw His Majesty the Emperor in the backlight, dressed in light brocade black, with embroidered silver dragons dancing on the sleeve corners, in harmony with the silver dragon-carved wine glass in his palm, raising his glass to invite her.

The sunlight thinly outlined a layer of brilliant golden outline on his body, and he looked as brilliant as a god.

Qin Changge glanced around from the corner of his eyes, and smiled. It seemed that Xiao Jue had learned the lesson from the last time the two of them went out alone and almost lost their lives, and honestly brought a lot of personal guards.

Sitting opposite Xiao Jue, Xiao Jue poured wine for her in silence, and Qin Changge also drank it in silence.

The fragrance of pine needles in the wind and the fragrance of flowers around are not enough to match the rich aroma of this wine. The two of them seem to have fallen in love with this wine. half.

Xiao Jue has always been a good drinker, and Qin Changge is also a person who becomes more sober the more he drinks. Both of them just drink and don't talk.

In the end, Xiao Jue couldn't bear it anymore, and said helplessly, "Changge, Li Han hasn't been to court these days."

Qin Changge hummed lightly.

"He is much older," Xiao Jue stared at Qin Changge, "Changge, don't get me wrong that I blame you for Li Li's affairs, he must be killed, but can you tell me how you made Li Li pleaded guilty?"

How did you get him to plead guilty?Qin Changge stared at the wine glass in his hand, showing a faint smile.

It's nothing more than those conspiracies and tricks. With your bright mind, why do you need to know those dark and private things?

Well... you must know, it's up to you.

"I bought a trustworthy general from the Li family," Qin Changge said slowly, "He took a woman I arranged for a woman who is good at charming and charming to the prison of the Ministry of Justice. When Li Li died, and when he was in love, the woman told Li Li that the Duke was not angry with the emperor's indifference, and wanted to wait for the army to stand on his own. The Duke has now sent people to sneak into Youzhou. The problem is that the young master is now in prison, and the other party is biting him so tightly that he cannot be released without guilt. If he has not pleaded guilty and will not be released, if the Duke of the country riots, Mr. Li, you will definitely be beheaded by the emperor. The meaning is to ask you to plead guilty quickly. He has opened up all the joints, and in the end he will sentence you to exile in Yanzhou. You must go through Youzhou to get to Yanzhou. Then he will order people to pretend to be bandits, kill the escort officers and soldiers, and rescue you Let's start an incident in Youzhou on the spot, and when the duke seizes the country from Xiao Jue'er, Mr. Li, you will be the crown prince of my dynasty..."

She smiled sarcastically, and imitated the woman's tone and said: "... the servant congratulates the prince first, the prince will come to the great treasure in the future, don't forget the servant..."

Looking sideways at Xiao Jue, Qin Changge smiled, "Tell me, how could Li Li not be tempted by such a beautiful remark? He was so excited at the time, he wanted to laugh out loud, and he was already lost by charm and mind control It is easy to be overwhelmed by the prince's sweet dreams, so how could he not believe her words? That's why he couldn't wait to confess when he went to court. I think he must have imagined that he was using the seal when he drew the bet. The long flail wrapped in yellow silk has also become a golden silk dragon robe, when I heard that he pleaded guilty, he was so happy that he almost laughed out loud."

Sighing slightly, Qin Changge said: "In any case, before he died, he was still happy. Maybe you thought it was miserable and ridiculous that his head fell to the ground the moment he swiped the pen and the ink fell on the paper, but at that time , he is very happy."

After being stunned for a while, Xiao Jue suddenly raised his head to drink the wine in his hand, and murmured: "Okay, okay, killing and killing others can make the victim die happily, I... admire you."

As if he didn't hear his tone, Qin Changge also raised his hand and finished drinking the wine in the glass.

"Then Li Han, what's going on?" Xiao Jue was silent for a while, and asked the doubts that had been lingering in his heart.

"The moment Li Li entered the hall, his acupoints were sealed by the experts I sent, and he couldn't move."

The cause of the shocking tragedy was told lightly by the main messenger, and was immediately blown away by the surging mountain wind.

But some shock and sadness that hit the bottom of my heart are hard to get rid of for a while.

Xiao Jue stared blankly at the drifting clouds hanging on the top of the mountain, and he didn't say anything for a long time. He knew that he should be grateful to Chang Ge, and grateful to her for solving the problem neatly. The power also won the hearts of the people, killed those who deserved to be killed, and upheld the justice of the law. It can be described as a rare and beautiful job, but for some reason, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart, a chill that penetrated to the marrow.

He had heard about everything that happened at that time, Li Li's fraudulent confession, the shock and outcry when Li Li was killed, and the body being trampled by tens of thousands of people after his death, leaving only bones... All this fell into the eyes of an old man, but I can only watch, I can't even close my eyes to avoid the scene where my parents and children are being bitten by thousands of people-how cruel.

Li Han was his savior. Back then, he was designed by someone to issue a military order by mistake. When the time for the final battle was approaching, he had no choice but to lead the dead soldiers into the camp. He desperately rescued him, and then carried him out of the battlefield. When he returned to the camp, Li Han, who was exhausted and hit three arrows in his body, fell to the ground.

These are all what he heard from his subordinates after waking up. From that day on, he swore to himself that no matter how rich or honored he is, he will not be responsible to each other, and he will never be a cold and virtuous master!

Now, he killed his only son, and let him watch his beloved son die tragically and helplessly.

Even if Li Li made mistakes, he never intended to let Li Li go, but if there are thousands of mistakes, death is already the greatest punishment.

Although he has no regrets about killing Li Han's only seedling, he already feels uneasy.

Now he is depressed and desolate, there are some hidden worries that he can't explain clearly but make him restless, scratching in his heart, but can't figure out why he is worried for a while.

He sat silently.

The water of Yashui flows eastward tirelessly.

How many sorrows, how many joys and sorrows are there in the world?

After a long time, Xiao Jue grabbed the jug and drank it clean in one go.

With a shy smile, he said: "Changge, I'm upset, I'd better go back, you can go down the mountain with me."

Shaking his head, Qin Changge pointed at the vast sea of ​​clouds in front of him, and said with a smile: "The scenery here is unique, I'll stay for a while, you go back first."

Xiao Jue was silent, turned around and left, he hurried across the mountain path of Shangshan Mountain, and left quickly amidst the rapid gathering of guards around him, his pace was so fast, he swept the fine velvet grass on the side of the mountain path, and the grass fell on him with black background and golden border Under Fei Yinlong's brocade robe, it is like the country and the world, all the people and officials are prostrated at his feet, but at this moment, he can only think of those years of war in the past that killed people like grass and relentlessly, and of the man who carried his corpse out of the mountain of blood. The rough and bold man, thinking of Changge's more gentle smile and more indifferent eyes since he was reborn.

He suddenly felt sad, but it was difficult to understand why he was sad for a while.

After he left the Fufeng Pavilion, the copper bell at the corner of the pavilion swayed slightly by the sound of the wind, and the sound was crisp. Shaking it, he said helplessly, "You're really stingy, you won't leave it to me at all..."

There was a faint smile on the clear and beautiful face, and Wubo's eyes were full of clarity.

The benevolent and affectionate Xiao Jue will be terrified of her after hearing the truth, right?You will think that she deliberately did not stop Li Han from going to the lobby of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and because of this, she will feel chilled?

She understands... After all, he is not a child who grew up in the palace. He has learned the art of the emperor since he was a child, and he has been facing insidious and murderous intentions. He has already forged a cold, tough and deep mind. He is a kind-hearted child with a kind personality. Rejection from adversity has made him tenacious and brave, and the battle on the battlefield has tempered his iron blood and courage. Qin Changge has always been responsible for those conspiracies and calculations. He understands, but he is unwilling to do it. He is The God of War is a young emperor who belongs to light and victory. His innocence may make it difficult for him to accept cruelty, and he may even... anger her?

She clearly knew.

It's just that I can't bear to see his gloomy expression after all.

It's just that you left too early, why didn't you ask what you wanted to ask?

I... actually sent someone to stop Li Han.

But that night, Li Han wasn't in the mansion at all, and even my subordinates couldn't find out where he was.

After a long time, Qin Changge stood up, leaned against the solitary pavilion, looked at the long sky deep in the clouds, suddenly smiled, let go, and threw the jug into the sea of ​​clouds.

It doesn't matter, it's just a momentary knot in his mind, no matter what, it's better to be a kind and wise lord than to be a vicious tyrant...

The jug flashed silver, like a shooting star sinking into a bottomless abyss of clouds and mist.Gone in an instant.

But a clang was faintly heard.

The white clouds suddenly parted, and the haze suddenly rose. Deep in the stratus clouds, there was a voiceless sound of cranes.

Its sound is clear and clear, like a phoenix dancing, born from Penglai, descended from the nine heavens, and the stars travel through it, with a majestic spirit.
