The wind that came from nowhere circled around the two of them, and then blew to an unknown place.

Wei Youfang looked at Li Shen meaningfully for a moment, then finally shook his head and walked towards the innermost part of the villa.

Li Yan got up and followed.

This was not the first time that the two of them debated a controversial topic. Li Min was a stubborn person. Even if he had lessons learned from the past and thousands of years of ancient books had labeled things as wrong, he would try them if he thought they were wrong.

Give it a try.

Even if there are thousands of corpses in front of you.

He never believed in whether a principle was absolutely right or wrong. Acting accordingly was the right way for the king. The government and the public had been in disarray for too long, so he just wanted to be a ruthless leader, killing darkness with darkness, and eradicating ruthlessness with ruthlessness.

Absolutely.

Wei Youfang's political philosophy was different from his, but every time his master punished him for acting too ruthlessly, he would admit it without complaining.

He is a close disciple of Wei Youfang. He has received many years of upbringing, but he cannot inherit his master's aspirations and vision. Isn't that disrespectful? He cannot fault Wei Youfang for his many years of hard work.

As long as he received a beating, at least he was recognized by the teacher.

Every time Li Yan came, he had this thought in his heart. He took two steps behind his master and entered the deepest courtyard of the villa together.

The courtyard has no walls, but few people come here. There are two houses outside the courtyard, and there is a spiritual platform outside the main house.

The memorial tablet is there, but there is no memorial tablet for Li Shi's mother.

——But it’s just a tablet.

When his mother hanged herself in the cold palace, his father suppressed the news and didn't even hold a funeral ceremony. The palace officials hurriedly dragged away his mother's body. How to dispose of it, he didn't know at the age of five.

For so many years, he never found his mother's body, and even all the relics were burned, so he brought out the red silk ribbon.

Did he take the red silk ribbon and beg to go to his father and ask him to come see his mother? Even if his mother could no longer see him, he still wanted to fulfill her last wish.

He was born in a cold palace and not many people had seen him, so he ran out during the chaos. Hearing that the emperor was hosting a banquet in the palace, he went to look for him and told the palace officials his name, but he didn't even see him.

.

...If the young Fu Yao had not been killed, no one would have discovered him in the icy lake after his death.

After being rescued from the water, he walked out of the palace in despair. God couldn't bear it, but he met his master just when he was about to faint from the cold.

Did Wei Youcong look like he does now?

It's been so many years, and the young boy who was full of death now has a majestic appearance, with a frail back straightened and kneeling in front of his mother's memorial tablet, with ruthless thin lips and a murderous look on his face.

Wei Youfang was looking at the copies of Jun's Policy Theory, which were quite thick, but he flipped through them casually.

After getting along with him for many years, he knew his disciple's character well and would never cheat on something like that.

When Li Yan saw that he had finished reading, he took out a folded paper from his arms and lowered his head to hold it.

Regardless of whether he was responsible for his own writing, the master and apprentice only met once every six months, which was a necessary process.

"In the middle of August, I was hunting in Linglu Mountain and was slacking on political affairs. In the east of August, I saw that the people of Wuzhou were in dire straits and were trapped by the power of the Queen Mother, unable to stop them... In October, I didn't think well and the opportunity was delayed, so the traitor could continue to breathe... One

At the beginning of the month, the palace maid died inexplicably, and I was shocked to realize that there were still uncontrollable things in the palace. The hidden dangers were huge but there was no way to stop them. The negligence was huge..."

Wei Youfang thought about it one by one, snorted coldly, and threw the paper in front of Li Yan: "That's not the only thing I missed."

Li Yan raised his head in confusion.

Wei Youfang said nothing, closed the door and walked out.

Is it time to order dinner at this time? Wei Youfang has three meals very regularly. When the time comes, he will put aside all other things to eat.

Li Yan naturally knew if the master left him alone to reflect on himself.

He continued to kneel there motionless, putting aside in his mind all the things he had prayed for in the past six months.

The surroundings were so quiet that there was no sound of wind. Li Yan, who had been leaning on his desk for a long time and had not knelt down for a long time, was already covered in sweat, and the strands of hair on his forehead were wet and stuck tightly to his skin.

His knees were tingling, his back was sore, and his whole body was so stiff that it felt like it was no longer his own. His breathing gradually became heavier, but he had no time to care about it. The mental pressure was far greater than the physical pressure.

What happened?

What on earth did he miss?

After reviewing everything in the past six months, he really couldn't think of anything else except what was written on paper.

He spent so much time to reflect on himself and made mistakes without realizing it. Wei You was always strict when he made mistakes, and that alone was enough for him to drink a pot.

Just when he was worried, the door behind him suddenly opened, and the cool breeze of the late moon rushed in, making him shiver.

Li Yan said with difficulty: "Master."

"come out with?"

He shook his head honestly: "...not really."

"Then he reminds me," Wei Youfang said sternly, "Not long ago, the concubine in my palace almost died after eating a snack given to the queen. Is that the one who poisoned me?"

Li Yan was suddenly startled.

...is that what happened?

He instantly understood why Master Hong was angry, and a trace of panic flashed through his heart: "...No, it's not his fault."

"What should he say, a man of great skill is bold?" Wei Youfang sneered, "I deliberately seduced Concubine Jing, ridiculed her on the spot, and made her feel unfair. I also found this person to be jealous, and left after knowing that I was absolutely wrong.

If you see the snacks given to the queen, you will definitely rob them.

"But have I thought about it, what if Concubine Jing doesn't go? I can't get away from dealing with Mrs. Zhang, and what if the snacks are really delivered to the Empress?"

Li Yan was silent.

Although he had told the palace maid who would send the snacks in advance, people's hearts were unpredictable. He was not around to watch, so the snacks would not have been without cocoa when they finally reached the queen's mouth.

"I'm too confident," Wei Youfang frowned, "I rarely think about whether there are mistakes in my arrangements, but people can't always master everything. There are always things that are overlooked or uncontrollable.

If I continue to be so stubborn, I will lose everything."

Li Yan couldn't refute.

If he had never been in power, he might not have made such a low-level but fatal mistake.

But after being an emperor for such a long time, with all the ministers bowing down and worshiping him, and with more and more power in his hands, will one become mad?

Everyone around him obeys his orders, and the people's lives are like ants. He denies heaven and the existence of absolute authority.

He will become confident, arrogant, ignore mistakes, and fall into the abyss.

Li Yan suddenly realized how terrifying that was.

After thinking about it, he instantly became frightened, hating himself for being so confident in inserting the simple-as-red paper queen into the situation, personally sending the danger in front of her, feeling very confident that everything was under control.

Fortunately nothing went wrong this time.

What about Toji?

He even knelt down and didn't notice the problem at that moment. If Wei Youfang didn't wake him up, he would have burned himself with fire and fallen into the abyss.

That mistake was a thousand times more serious than the request he wrote on that pile of paper.

Li Yan took a deep breath, raised the long wooden box he brought, lowered his head and presented it to Wei You.

He swallowed hard and said, "Master, please punish me."
