Liu Mingzhi announced to the world the news that Li Ye had committed suicide by drinking poisonous wine, which meant the end of an ancient dynasty that had flourished for 658 years and that a new era was about to come.
April 13, the first year of Dalong Taiping.
The era belonging to the Li family will finally come to an end, and the era belonging to the Liu family is exuding vigorous vitality and gradually showing its future to the world.
Dalong, a long-lasting empire that had stood for several dynasties but had never been reached, finally fell in the hands of its own people.
Finally came to a successful conclusion.
On the deserted official road east of the capital, Liu Mingzhi stopped next to a carriage.
Looking quietly at the ordinary carriage that was being escorted by hundreds of people in bamboo hats, Liu Mingzhi sighed melancholy.
The real parting is not outside the long pavilion.
It’s just like a normal day, some people stay where they are and some people go to distant places.
People who are leaving never care about the scenery around them.
The meaning of parting is nothing more than this.
Silently stretching his body, Liu Mingzhi looked thoughtful.
As long as there will not be a son of destiny like Liu Xiu among the Li clan in this world, a son of destiny named Li Xiu will appear.
The new dynasty established by oneself will have the confidence to face any troubles.
Unless the sky kills you, it also gives you a shower of meteors and fire.
When the trace of the carriage completely disappeared, Liu Mingzhi calmed down and turned around to board the carriage.
“Go back to Beijing!”
The man in the hat who was driving the car nodded slightly and waved his riding whip gently.
In the carriage, Liu Mingzhi sat down cross-legged, looking at Chen Jie with red eyes holding the infant baby opposite him, and sighed softly.
“Reluctant to part with it?”
Chen Jie trembled, and said quietly after being silent for a long time.
"What can you do if you are reluctant to let go? It is better than letting him die in your hands. After Ye'er was put under house arrest by you, you finally got what you wanted!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the wine jar in the corner of the carriage, lifted the jar and patted the mud outside the car window, picked up the wine glass, filled it up and drank it all.
Insert an app: a perfect replica of the old version of the book-chasing artifact and a replaceable source app—— .
“To borrow what you just said, it is better to be under house arrest than to die young at a young age.”
“Yeah, it’s better to be alive than to be dead!”
Liu Mingzhi put down his wine glass, raised his hand towards the infant in Chen Jie's arms, and took the infant Liu Lianniang into his arms.
Looking at the little guy drooling, he looked curiously into his big eyes, and the love in his eyes could not help but reveal.
No matter who gave birth to them, these children are his own flesh and blood, and he cannot tolerate being unhappy as a father.
Looking at his little daughter who was neither crying nor fussing but looking at her curiously, Liu Mingzhi raised his hand and brushed the little girl's pink and tender face, which looked like it could be broken by blowing a ball.
“I have mercy on my mother, call me daddy!”
ifies
The little guy is not yet one month old, so naturally he cannot speak, but he can use other expressions to express his happiness.
“Jie’er, do you really not think about it anymore? If you are really willing to enter my family, I can stop any rumors for you no matter what kind of rumors there are.
When you are alive in this world, why bother worrying about other people’s opinions? Can’t you just live a smooth life yourself?”
Chen Jie felt Liu Mingzhi's questioning gaze, intertwined her fingers together, and finally shook her head in response.
“Don’t think about it, it’s good for you and me to be like this now, otherwise once it gets publicized it will make a big fuss.
Not only will the Li family be humiliated, but you, the Liu family, will also be vilified verbally and verbally by everyone in the world.
Not to mention the infamy you and I have endured.
You already have the reputation of regicide to seize the throne, so why bother with the reputation of insulting the emperor's wife?
In fact, you know it very well in your heart. Although you told the world that Ye'er drank poisonous wine in the royal study and died before he died.
But no one in the world will believe it, and everyone will think that it is you, Liu Mingzhi, the new king who is worried that Ye'er will one day restore the Li Dynasty and eradicate it.
The so-called "drinking poisonous wine" is of course nothing more than an excuse for you to hide the truth about removing Ye'er."
Liu Mingzhi slowly shook Liu Lianniang in his arms and sneered twice: "Reputation, is the so-called reputation really that important?"
“Isn’t it important?
Your thoughts are really hard to see through. Everyone wants to leave a name in history, don’t you?
When the world is stabilized, you will face the verbal and written criticism of all scholars and spread the story of your regicide and rebellion throughout the world.
Whether it is official history or unofficial history, you will be saddled with eternal infamy.
You can modify the official history by your own bloody methods, but there is nothing you can do about the unofficial history and the rumors passed down by word of mouth."
Liu Mingzhi’s lips raised a nonchalant smile: “Let nature take its course.
Some self-righteous scholars can abuse them as much as they like. As long as they record it truthfully, I will not do anything to them.
But if you want to make things up out of nothing and fabricate historical facts wantonly to improve your reputation.”
Liu Mingzhi’s eyes revealed a coldness that made Chen Jie across from him feel a little chilly.
“I have killed bandits, bandits, enemy troops, and officers and soldiers, but I have never raised a sword against a scholar.
If they dare to make up random things because they think that I, Liu Mingzhi, rebelled and usurped the throne and was despised by the world, I don't mind giving them a long memory.
And the best memory can only be poured with blood so that they can recognize themselves."
“Are you crazy?”
Liu Mingzhi glanced at Chen Jie silently. There were some things that made no sense to a woman like her who was always in the compound, had no chance to experience palace battles, and had no experience of the sinister ways of the world.
With his free hand, he grabbed Chen Jie's wrist, pulled her to his side and sat down with a slight force, and raised his hand to wrap his arms around her shoulders.
Just when Chen Jiegang wanted to struggle, Liu Mingzhi's arm used a little force to restrain him.
He knew that this woman still couldn't accept the relationship with him without any grudges from the bottom of her heart.
But Liu Mingzhi is not worried, time will erase everything.
“Take a good rest after you return home. If you need anything, just ask me to come to me. I am obligated to do anything I can for you, and I will find a way to do it for you if I can’t.”
Chen Jie couldn't break free, so she could only silently cling to Liu Mingzhi's side.
“What are you going to do with your mother and Tao’er?”
"You don't have to worry about this. There is Yan'er at the Queen Mother's side, and I will definitely not do anything to her.
As for the child Li Tao"
Liu Mingzhi hesitated for a moment: "Let's stay in the clan's residence temporarily. As for how to deal with it, it depends on his own choice."
“Oh, my lord, your lord, we are back!”
While the two were talking, the carriage slowly stopped, and Gao Jin, who was driving, reminded them that they had returned to the door.
Liu Mingzhi raised the curtains of the carriage and looked at the familiar Prince's old residence. He let go of Chen Jie's shoulders, hugged Liu Lianniang and jumped out of the carriage, and helped Chen Jie down.
Seeing that Gao Jin had opened the door of the mansion, Liu Mingzhi looked around and helped Chen Jie walk towards the mansion.
Gao Jin had already taken the lead in leading the carriage in a detour towards the backyard without staying with the two of them.
“I have other things to take care of, so I won’t send you back to your room.”
Chen Jie looked at Liu Mingzhi with complicated eyes, nodded silently, raised her hand to take the infant Liu Lianniang, turned around and walked silently towards the inner courtyard.
“Jie’er!”
Chen Jie stopped for a moment.
“Is there anything else?”
“I hope that the relationship between the two of us can be pure, without any other reasons.”
Chen Jie turned around and looked at Liu Mingzhi quietly, lowered her head and patted the baby in her hand.
“This is a daughter, not a son!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Jie walked straight towards the inner courtyard without waiting for Liu Mingzhi to say anything.
