After the room was quiet for a moment, Li Xia asked, "May I ask what happened to my father?"
Wu Wenying asked: "You don't know?
Li Xia shook his head.
Wu Wenying sighed: "We are planning to do something, so your innocent child will be implicated and suffer many hardships. I know you are confused, but where do you start..."
He patted his knee and talked about the cause and effect.
"I have not been married in my life, and I have made a living as a wanderer. I am a guest who sings and sings poems. I have little contact with official affairs. Therefore, even those who have different political views have hired me one after another. Long before the Li family and Prince Rong became in-laws, I worked in Li
The family is the curtain, so he is called the master who guards the wall. At that time, I had not become famous, so few people knew about it.
For decades, after moving around the palaces of various princes, the only state affairs that I participated in was when King Zhong established him as the prince... At that time, I was already a guest in Prince Rong's palace. Mr. Wu secretly met with me and said that King Zhong was weak and incompetent. If he succeeded to the throne,
, the country must perish. Please help me..."
Li Xia said: "Juniors don't understand very well."
Wu Wenying explained briefly and then said: "Xiangong Wu's position is not a secret. What do you think? Forget about the grudges between the Li family and Prince Rong, is it okay to just say that a mentally disabled person is the emperor?"
Li Xia responded without any hesitation: "No."
"Why?"
"Ordinary people are not enough to be emperors, let alone fools."
"What if the whole court supports this fool?"
"Destroy the country and destroy the world."
Wu Wenying stared straight into Li Xia's eyes, a little surprised.
The young man in front of him is more determined than his father.
Li Yong had never said so resolutely that "when the loyal king takes the throne, the world will perish." He only made up his mind when he was forced into a desperate situation.
Wu Wenying was silent for a moment and then asked: "What would you do if you were involved in this matter?"
Li Xia was silent for a while, thinking about his words, and said: "I will not accept a fool becoming the emperor above me."
"Okay." Wu Wenying said slowly, "But this fool is your half-brother."
"..."
a long time.
The candlelight made a "pop" sound.
Wu Wenying and Li Xia talked a lot and sat facing each other in silence.
"Fake." Li Xia said.
"Because you don't believe that your father would do this? In fact, it is normal to have sex with your servant."
"No." Li Xia said, "It can only be false, and everything will make sense."
Wu Wenying said: "It is possible."
"It's possible, but the possibility is extremely low."
"Yes, it is possible..."
Wu Wenying repeated again. He saw that Li Xia was very weak, and his expression became a little ashamed.
"The matter is before us. The state of the Song Dynasty will be handed over to a fool. Faced with Wu Xianggong's request, I don't know whether what I am doing is right or wrong.
All I can say is that I have lived to this age, half of my body has been buried in the ground, and I have no wife or children. I will definitely not live long enough to succeed the loyal king. I don’t care whether he is stupid or not? He has no selfish thoughts in participating in this matter.
The rest is not easy to explain either.
It's a pity for you. If you can survive this time, you can keep your name anonymous in the future. You have been implicated in this matter and have lived a difficult and dangerous life. It's been too hard on you."
Li Xia was silent for a long time after hearing this last sentence.
I really don’t know what else to say.
Who is to blame?
Wu Wenying did not harm him and even saved his life; Li Yong did this out of helplessness and to protect himself; Wu Qian did not force Li Yong out of justice or selfishness.
Even from the perspective of the honorable king and the loyal king, if someone is slandered for nothing, wouldn't it be possible to kill him if he doesn't fight back?
The rules of the world, the etiquette of thousands of years, and the formation of power are so intricate that everyone in the field can only be pushed and intrigued.
This dispute seems meaningless, but also seems to be extremely important.
And he, Li Xia, is the son of the Li family. Even if he is reborn, he is still the son of the Li family.
As soon as he appeared on the stage, he was destined to be involved in this dispute.
Everything he had gone through hardships and planned painstakingly was ruined just because of his identity.
"Who can ask, Lian Po is old, can he still make a living?" This sentence came out of his mouth inadvertently.
Li Xia was finally able to truly understand the meaning of the words and realize Xin Qiji's helplessness and unwillingness to waste his life because of his identity.
Originally, he planned a path for himself.
He understands his own character, he enjoys himself a lot and is arrogant. He is not born to let anyone become the emperor over his head.
How to do it?
Become a bandit and rebel?
Li Xia thinks that there is no need to consider this kind of taken-for-granted idea.
No matter how ignorant he was about history, he knew that no matter how many problems there were in the Southern Song Dynasty, at least the land conflict had not become the main conflict, and it was far from enough to allow the peasant uprising to take shape.
The entire system of the Song Dynasty may not be able to fight foreign wars. It was formulated to eliminate any armed rebellion from the beginning.
Especially now that the conflicts between foreign enemies are at their most acute, it is even more destined that the Mudfoot Rebellion will not succeed in the Song Dynasty during this period.
If you can't cope with the situation where the enemy still abides by the rules in front of you, and you think that you can succeed as a rogue bandit in the face of the entire court's unruly culling, then it would be too naive.
He really wanted to be the county captain, enter this rule system, grow under its cover, and absorb the nutrients of the entire Song Dynasty...
But today, this plan seems to have been completely shattered.
The charges were proven, and he had a deep feud with King Rong. Neither of the two governors could protect him... The road in the Song Dynasty seemed to be dead.
Li Xia took out a piece of colored paper from his arms and looked at it silently.
"The title contains several lines of lovesickness, and when I wake up, the tung leaves cover the screen window..."
For a moment, Li Xia was in a daze.
Is this the only way to go?
But there is still a sense of pride in my heart...
That night.
"Are you going to take action against those people in Lampwick Alley?"
"No, send people to surround them and keep a close eye on them. If Li Xia really escapes, he will most likely go back to find them."
Quan Yongjian bowed his hands in agreement and ordered to go on.
Yang Dong added: "It's time to send someone to inform Ding Daquan that Li Xia went on a murder spree and was arrested. This matter has nothing to do with him. Don't interfere anymore."
Ye Mengding said: "Yes, Ding Daquan only cares about the phase and will not care about this matter anymore."
"As for Jia Sidao, I'll go and take a look to prevent him from protecting Li Xia." Yang Dong said, "It's time to give him a beating to let him know that fishing in troubled waters is not that simple."
"Where is the Right Prime Minister's Mansion?"
"As a right prime minister, I will not protect the criminals. I can just send a few people to keep an eye on them."
"It's strange. Where can you escape if you are seriously injured?"
Ye Mengding said: "It must be Wu Qian's group secretly rescuing him, and it is most likely an aide to King Rong."
"Check it, search it carefully again..."
Zhao Yurui, who was sitting at the top, was always calm, and suddenly said: "Perhaps Li Xia's escape can lead to Li Yong? After all, Li Yong is the key."
"What King Rong said is absolutely true. Only Li Yong is the biggest threat to this matter."
"Then since Li Xia has killed someone in public, he can be punished and put to death, leaving his father and son without a backbone in the Song Dynasty..."
The next moment, someone outside the door suddenly came forward to report: "Prince Rong, Mr. Gu Xinjiang wants to see you."
"Is Mr. Jiang here?"
"Prince Rong." Quan Yongjian said, "I saw Mr. Jiang's carriage nearby in the afternoon. Is it possible that he rescued Li Xia?"
Before the four of them had time to discuss, there was another call outside the door.
"Prince Rong, Taifu Li Shaoqing is here."
"Li Boyu? This person is Wu Qian's best friend. Please be careful, King Rong..."
Before he finished speaking, someone came to report again.
"Report, we captured a sneaky person nearby. After inquiries, we found out that he is a disciple of Mr. Xie, named Xu Hexing."
The four people in the study looked at each other and felt that the usually quiet Prince Rong's Mansion was starting to get too lively...
Candlelight is like a bean.
Li Xia put the colored paper in his arms and his eyes became firm again.
At least I survived today.
And it breaks away the fog in front of you and disperses the unknowns.
"It's enough to be lucky once. If you don't kill me once, there won't be another time."
He muttered to himself and gave a rare smile, which was a little more profound than before, a little like Jia Sidao's smile. Because he suddenly understood what Jia Sidao was playing...
Li Xia thought for a while and suddenly asked: "Wu Qian is definitely not the only one in the court who doesn't want a fool to be the emperor, right?"
"Of course I won't, but Mr. Wu has resigned, and all the princes are holding back."
"What are the officials thinking?" Li Xia pondered.
Wu Wenying stroked his beard and murmured: "I am just a scholar, how could I guess that?"
Li Xia seemed to be asking and answering his own questions, and murmured: "The official family seems to support my nephew, but after all, he is not his biological son, and he is still a stupid nephew."
"Yes, the official family has been uninterested in state affairs and indulged in drinking and sex in recent years. There may not be such a reason..."
Li Xia thought for a long time, then suddenly stood up and carefully arranged the ties on his body.
Wu Wenying said: "You want to leave?"
"yes."
"Your injury is not healed yet. Please wait patiently. I will send you away to a distant place."
"The younger generation will remember Mr. Meng Chuang's life-saving grace today."
"Where are you going?"
"Wu Qian is not here, I will go find the person in Lin'an City who least wants that fool to become the prince..."
