Liu Mingzhi's body trembled, and he stared blankly at Liu Zhi'an, who was staring at him with eyes full of meaning.
"Old...old man!"
Fang Shuo woke up with a start, stuffed the silk cloth into Liu Zhi'an's mouth, raised his hands with cracked flaws, and lifted the brocade robe on Liu Zhi'an's chest.
"Liu Weng, that's not what you told His Majesty. You said you wanted to persuade the prince to stop fighting and make peace! That's not what you said! That's not what you said!"
The time goes back to half an hour before Liu Mingzhi went to the palace.
The helpless Li Ye and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty could not think of how to deal with Wang Liu Mingzhi's move to enter the palace.
The imperial guard suddenly came to report that Liu Zhi'an, the richest man in Jiangnan, the father of Wang Liu Mingzhi, was asking to see him outside the palace gate. He said that he was willing to come forward to persuade his son to stop fighting and make peace, and not to be the rebellious and rebellious traitor who caused the Liu family to descend from generation to generation.
Bear the infamy of the ages.
At the end of the day, Li Ye, who was already despairing, once again ignited hope and immediately invited Liu Zhi'an into the Qinzheng Palace.
The gloomy mood of all the officials also revived.
That's right, others can't advise King Bingjian. Liu Zhi'an and Liu Weng are King Bingjian's father. He came forward to advise King Bingjian. Even if King Bingjian doesn't obey his words, he will at least be a bit mean-spirited.
Moreover, this is not a threat from the imperial court itself, but Liu Yuanwai’s own initiative, which is even more convincing!
For a time, Liu Zhi'an's request for an audience revived the confused minds of all the officials in the palace.
"Caomin Liu Zhi'an, see your majesty, long live my emperor!"
"Weng Liu is exempt from the gift! Come and give Weng Liu a seat!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Liu Zhi'an knelt down on the same futon as the officials, and looked around the civil and military officials in the palace with deep eyes. When he looked at Li Ye, his expression had become frightened.
"The common people have no way of educating their children, so that they have such a disobedient and rebellious son in their family. It is really a crime worthy of death. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Li Ye didn't want to hear Liu Zhi'an's words of self-blame, he just wanted to know how sure Liu Zhi'an was of being able to stop fighting and make peace.
"Weng Liu, I forgive you. King Bingjian has not been with Weng Liu for many years. It is natural for his character to change. It is not Weng Liu's fault. Weng Liu must not blame himself.
Now Naizi, together with my uncle Wang Liu Mingzhi, has led a large army to attack the city, aiming directly at the palace to kill.
I wonder if Liu Weng has any good advice to persuade my uncle to stop fighting and make peace?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the common people do not dare to make rash assertions. Ever since Nizi entered the temple, he and the common people have been together less and more apart.
For more than ten years, Nizi first established his own business, and then guarded the gate of northern Xinjiang, rarely meeting the common people.
What has become of Nizi now, even ordinary people do not know clearly.
Now I can only meet with the traitor and persuade him to stop fighting and make peace, and not to be such a treasonous person!
As for how certain it is, ordinary people can't guarantee it.
The common people had no choice but to risk their lives to persuade them to stop fighting!
The child does not teach, the father too.
If the rebels cannot be persuaded to stop fighting and make peace, the common people will have no choice but to die to apologize.
Please grant your Majesty’s permission!”
Li Ye and the civil and military officials stared blankly at Liu Zhian, who was kneeling in the center, wearing a brocade robe and looking awe-inspiring, without reacting for a moment.
If you can't persuade your son to stop rebelling, then you will die to apologize. This is too selfless!
Song Yu, Minister of the Ministry of War, looked suspiciously up and down at Liu Zhi'an, who was kneeling in the center. What the hell could he say these words to his sworn brother Liu Laoer?
Song Yu would believe anyone who could say this, but Song Yu didn't believe Liu Zhi'an's words.
It's easy to change a country's nature, but it's hard to change it. Smiling Tiger Liu Zhi'an could say these words, even Song Yu didn't believe it with the knife on his neck.
As for the four words "please die to apologize", unless the sun rises from the west, Liu Laoer will never be able to say it.
The officials didn't know what Song Yu was thinking.
The righteous Liu Zhi'an has been regarded as the last life-saving straw.
Can you persuade King Bingjian to stop fighting and make peace? Now all hopes are pinned on his father Liu Zhi'an.
"Liu Weng is righteous, please grant your Majesty's permission!"
"Your Majesty, please grant me permission!"
Li Ye came back to his senses, looked at Liu Zhi'an with complicated eyes for a while, and then turned to Fang Shuo, one of the commanders of the imperial guards who was standing outside the palace gate.
"Commander Fang!"
"I'm here!"
"You accompany Liu Weng on the palace wall and advise the king to stop fighting and make peace!"
"According to the order!"
"Your Majesty, the treacherous son Liu Mingzhi has established his own family. He has committed a crime of treason and injustice. If he is willing to plead guilty and obey the law, I beg your Majesty to only punish the culprit and spare the entire Liu family in Jiangnan!"
The officials were stunned and looked at Liu Zhi'an in astonishment.
This is no longer selfless, but extermination of relatives for justice, right?
Song Yu looked at Liu Zhi'an with his pupils narrowed, as if he wanted to see through him.
"Liu Weng, as long as the king stops fighting and makes peace, not only will I not punish him, but I will let bygones be bygones!"
"Your majesty is wise, long live my emperor! Without further ado, the common people should retire!"
Under the stunned gazes of Li Ye and the officials, Liu Zhi'an and Fang Shuo, escorted by a group of imperial guards, rushed towards the palace gate hand in hand.
It goes as quickly as it comes.
Some officials were so confused that they did not even realize what was going on.
"Commander Fang, let go of your hand, or else I will slaughter the palace with blood!"
Fang Shuo's body trembled, and he quickly turned to look at Liu Mingzhi, who kept shaking his head.
"Your Majesty, it's not like this. Please listen to the general's explanation. It's not like this!"
When Fang Shuo and the surrounding Ouchi guards were in a state of confusion, Liu Zhi'an violently struggled to break free of the Ouchi guards' restraints. He took off the silk cloth from his mouth, leaned forward and smiled lightly at Liu Da, who had complex and sharp eyes.
few.
"Son, I finally see you again! Unfortunately, today is probably the day when you and I, father and son, will both reunite and say goodbye forever!"
Liu Mingzhi's eyes narrowed and he shook his head like a rattle.
"Old man, don't talk nonsense, it's okay, it's okay, I will definitely keep you safe and sound, I will!"
Fang Shuo just wanted to imprison Liu Zhi'an, but was stared back by Liu Zhi'an's sharp, slightly narrowed eyes.
"I'm not afraid of death, isn't Commander Fang afraid of the fall of the palace?"
"You...Liu Weng, what exactly do you want to do?"
"Of course I want to die and open a frontier to the country for my son!"
Commander Fang couldn't help but shuddered: "What!"
Liu Zhi'an looked at Fang Shuo's horrified eyes, laughed and looked at Liu Mingzhi.
"You bastard, you can't risk the lives of hundreds of thousands of people just for the sake of this old man.
Dad would rather die to open a frontier for you!
Son, call me daddy and listen!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Liu Zhi'an's thoughtful eyes, and a bad feeling came into his heart. He was suddenly at a loss, and looked at Liu Zhi'an with a panicked face, shaking his head.
"Old man, don't talk nonsense and don't mess around!"
"I am your father, call me daddy!"
"Old man! Don't mess around!"
"Son, don't blame yourself, and don't have any psychological burden.
Haven't you always been curious about where the scars on the soles of your feet came from? Dad will tell you today.
Because you are the right one with the Seven Stars at your feet, I was afraid that your secret would be discovered, so I deliberately destroyed it for you.
Now that your army has marched into the city, the founding of the country, and the enthronement of the emperor are just around the corner, there is no need to hide this secret anymore.
Dear officers and men of the Sixth Guards of the New Army, my son is not a rebellious and rebellious traitor, but an emperor who has been destined by fate.
He is the right one who has set his feet on the seven stars since he was born. If you don’t believe it, you can check it out for yourself!”
As soon as Liu Zhi'an finished speaking, not only Liu Mingzhi was dumbfounded, but also the new army soldiers surrounding the palace gate and the imperial guards on the palace wall looked at Liu Mingzhi in shock.
With your feet on the seven stars, you are the right one?
"Son!"
Liu Mingzhi suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Liu Zhi'an with complicated eyes.
"Old...Old...Old man, is everything you said true?"
"If it's true or false, you can find out if it's true or false by going to see Li Buyi.
My son, God has given it to you, but if you don’t accept it, you will suffer chaos!
You must let everyone in the world know that you are not a rebellious minister, but the true emperor to whom destiny belongs.
I know you too well and value love and justice too much.
Today I can only die to open a frontier for you and achieve the status of an emperor.
Son, call me daddy and let me listen!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Liu Zhi'an in fear: "Old man, don't mess around, don't mess around!"
"Call daddy!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Liu Zhian's sharp eyes and pursed his lips a few times: "Dad!"
With a soft pop sound, Liu Zhi'an's hands slipped from the dagger inserted into his chest, and he looked at Young Master Liu calmly.
"Son, dad... ahem... dad... once dad dies, you will no longer owe anyone else anything!"
Everyone was shocked by Liu Zhian's behavior.
After the Ouchi guard, who had been distracted by the words "Step on the Seven Stars and the Right One", woke up, Liu Zhi'an had already inserted the dagger into his chest.
"Liu...Liu Weng!"
"father!"
"Silly boy...Dad...Dad...in advance...I wish you a successful founding of the country in advance...
The country will last forever..."
Looking at Liu Zhi'an who was half-kneeling on the palace wall with his eyes distracted, Liu Mingzhi gritted his teeth and roared at Cheng Kai.
"Cheng Kai, you fucking fire on me, blow open the palace door and take down the palace!"
"Yes... you have the order!"
"Fire and fire!"
Rumble...
Thirty artillery pieces roared at the palace gate, which was not too big or too small. The shells blasted away, and the thick palace gate shattered directly.
Liu Mingzhi pulled out the Heavenly Sword with a flawless expression and pointed towards the palace door.
"The whole army obeys the order and rushes with me!"
The Ouchi guards tried to stop him, but what greeted them was a dense rain of arrows.
Fang Shuo was in a state of confusion. Looking at Liu Zhi'an, who was kneeling on the palace wall and not knowing whether he was alive or dead, he still hadn't realized how things could have turned out like this.
"Quickly, retreat to the Qinzheng Palace!"
The dazed Ouchi guards on the palace wall reacted and hurriedly drew out their Yanling sabers and leaped towards the Qinzheng Hall.
Liu Mingzhi didn't care at all about the actions of the imperial guards and directly jumped up the palace wall towards Liu Zhi'an. With scarlet eyes, he moved Liu Zhi'an, who was kneeling on the ground, into his arms.
"Dad! Don't scare me, don't scare me!"
"Son...Son!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Liu Zhi'an whose eyes were gradually dimming, and hurriedly raised his hand to cover Liu Zhi'an's chest, which was stained red with blood.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll go find Old Man Sai right away, hold on! Hold on!"
Seeing the tears welling up in Liu Mingzhi's eyes, Liu Zhian smiled weakly.
"Son... don't feel bad... Dad doesn't have a few years to live... I can open a front line for you...
..Dad...Dad, this old bone is worth it...Don't cry...The founding of the country...The founding of the country
Sir...how...how can you act like a daughter..."
"No! No! No way! Dad!"
"Ahem... son..."
"My son is here, my son is here!"
"You are the eldest son... the eldest son... and the eldest brother... you must be taken good care of..."
Okay...your mother, Xuan'er and Mingjie..."
"I won't agree. They are your wives, sons and daughters. I won't take care of them. If I don't take care of them, you are not allowed to die. You are not allowed to die!"
"Uh huh... cough cough..."
Some blood flowed from the corner of Liu Zhi'an's mouth, and his old eyes became a little cloudy again.
"Son..."
"Hey, hey! I'm here, I'm here."
"Although...although...I don't know who you are...but I know...clearly that you...are not
Father's son......
A country is easy to change...Nature is easy to change but hard to change...People do...do change...but human nature cannot change...
Let...let...my...this old bone die...and understand...
You...who are you..."
Liu Mingzhi suddenly trembled, and looked at Liu Zhi'an's turbid, dim but questioning eyes with trembling corners of his mouth.
"me......."
Looking at Liu Zhi'an's familiar appearance, the past of being together for more than ten years, noisy and abusive, lingered in front of Liu Mingzhi's eyes bit by bit.
Everything in the past life has long since disappeared.
The old man is his biological father, and Mrs. Liu Bai Bing is his biological mother.
Fuck your worldly past.
He is the son of their two elders, their biological son!
"I...who am I if I'm not your son? Do you want to be scolded by my mother again?
I am your son, of course I am your son!
I don’t want to inherit the family property yet, so don’t scare me! Don’t scare me!”
"Ahem...I...my son..."
Liu Mingzhi's mind was tense. He looked at Liu Zhi'an, whose eyes were lifeless and tightly clutching his lifeless sleeves, and his whole body froze.
"Old man!"
"Old man!"
"Old man!"
Three times in a row, Liu Zhi'an's vitality was extinguished and his breath was gone. Major Liu hugged Liu Zhi'an tightly in his arms and screamed loudly.
