Chapter 265 stubbornness
Li Daozong read the sacrificial text on the altar, and a pair of sharp old eyes had already seen Qin Mubai. His expression suddenly stretched a little, and his voice was a little more cheerful and generous. At this time, the sacrificial text was about to be finished. At the end, it was an imperial edict attached by the emperor. Yes, I heard that the Mausoleum of Emperor Yang came out, just like seeing the old man. Thinking about the violent death of the Sui and the importance of the people. So it was decided that Xiangzhou would rule all the states and counties within two years.
Next, Li Daozong also read out some of the taxes ordered by the emperor and the leniency policies to be implemented in Xiangzhou in public, which attracted a burst of cheers from the onlookers!
It turned out that I was just looking at the lively, but I didn't expect such a benefit!
There is nothing more ** for the people than these policies. In fact, it is not that Li Guang's Enze came to the people of Xiangzhou through time and space, but that Li Shimin has been in Xiangzhou recently. Accidents are still turbulent. The people must have suffered a lot of waves. They must promulgate some policies to benefit the people and support them. Previously, many people were killed in the expropriation of water ghosts, especially the killing and arrest of many local gentry. The rest of the gentry need to be appeased. Now it is the birth of Emperor Yang's Mausoleum, and the conscript opens a canal to hold sacrifices, etc. In fact, it is a little laborious for the people and money.
After listening to Li Daozong's reading, the scene was almost boiling, and the people's discussion was like a wave.
Since Li You saw Qin Mubai, his whole face has been white. He stood still and trembled, and the cold sweat on his body rumbled down. Qin Mubai stood a little on the right behind him and saw with his own eyes a layer of cold sweat slowly flowing down the back of his neck. As soon as the wind blew, he trembled.
"Your Highness seems to have a cold. Do you need to take a rest for a while?" Qin Mubai said with a smile.
Li You did not look back. A pair of eyes stared at Li Chengqian, Li Daozong and others standing on the altar in front of him. They swallowed a mouthful of water and slid up and down without squeaking.
The killers hiding in the crowd suddenly saw Qin Mubai's appearance and were also scared. They are all people who know. They know that since Qin Mubai has escaped, the plan has been exposed. Therefore, those people withdrew quietly without showing a voice when the crowd was boiling and noisy. Fang was ready to board the ship and escape, but all of them were caught by the sergeants in ambush in the harbor. The sergeants got the secret order and said nothing. They immediately took it down and fainted. They were stuffed into the warship like throwing sacks and imprisoned.
Li You looked at the crowd without giving up, and none of the people he sent was seen. His face suddenly had no blood color, and his body trembled even more.
At this time, Li Daozong had read the sacrificial text and returned to the class. Li Chengqian came to the stage to carry out these sacrificial activities.
Li Ke was beside him, squeezed his eyes at him and motioned behind him, smiling happily. Li Daozong nodded with a smile and walked back to Li You and Qin Mubai.
When Li You saw Li Daozong coming in, his heart beat like the acceleration of drums, and his breathing became extremely rapid, and he looked like he was about to collapse and go crazy.
Qin Mubai stepped forward and stood side by side with him and whispered, "Your Highness, there is no need to be nervous."
"What do you mean?" Li You turned around in surprise and stared at him.
Qin Mubai smiled slightly and said nothing. Li Daozong had already walked to the two of them.
"The king of Qi seems to be very unwell. Don't hold on. Mu Bai, please escort the king of Qi to the warship to rest first. Li Daozong said lightly.
"Yes." Qin Mubai hugged his fist and smiled relaxedly, "Your Highness, King of Qi, please!"
Li You was completely desperate. He was stunned for a long time. His eyes glanced at Li Daozong and Qin Mubai with resentment and sadness. He gritted his teeth fiercely. He turned around and walked to the shore.
Li Daozong pouted, and Qin Mubai nodded and quickly followed.
Li You walked out of the scope of the sacrificial ceremony. Several hundred horsemen and iron armor came forward without arresting him. Instead, they "followed" him around him, like a nurse, who had been accompanying him on the warship Qin Mubai took when he came.
Qin Mubai got on the boat, said a few words to the sergeant on the ship, and walked into the cabin.
Li You stood by the window of the cabin and did not look back. He just said faintly, "I have nothing to say. Go!"
Qin Mubai smiled slightly and said to himself: In fact, it should be 'no face', more than 'no words to say', right?
So, he still sat down on a couch in the cabin and called out all the sergeants in the cabin. As soon as the heel was next to his buttocks, he was sore that he was bitten by a poisonous bee. The pain made him grinned, so he simply straightened his legs and sat on his buttocks side.
Li You has been standing by the window without moving. His face was ashes, and his eyes were also gray. He looked at the green water grass rippling with the water outside the cabin and was distracted.
"Your Highness, you have a cold. Come and sit down and have a cup of newly boiled hot tea?" Qin Mubai said behind him.
"You'd better get me a glass of death-giving alcohol poison, which will be much more straightforward." Li You still didn't look back and said calmly.
"Your Highness, why did you say this?" Qin Mubai poured tea and said with a relaxed smile, "I seem to remember that Your Highness has not committed any unforgivable crime?"
Li You trembled all over and suddenly turned around and stared at Qin Mubai: "What do you mean?"
"It's just a real story, nothing else." Qin Mubai picked up a cup of tea and said to him, "Your Highness, please sit down."
Li You swallowed a mouthful of saliva, shook his robe and sat down against Qin Mubai. But as soon as he saw Qin Mubai's strange sitting posture, he couldn't help frowning: "How dare they hurt you?"
"Exexpectedly"?
Hearing these two words, Qin Mubai's heart suddenly became much more complicated.
"Listening to Li You's tone, it is obvious that he has warned in advance not to hurt me by Zan Junmo, killer sisters and others."
Qin Mubai shook his head and smiled, "No. I was just accidentally stung by a poisonous bee.
"Oh..." Li You nodded, avoided Qin Mubai's eyes, picked up the teacup and tasted it lightly.
"This tea is bitter."
"This is the only tribute tea in Xiangzhou, called 'Xinluoxiang'. The biggest feature is that the lips are sweet after the mouth, and the aftertaste is long. Qin Mubai said.
"It's bitter in my heart. It's all bitter to eat and drink." Li You said lightly.
"Where is Yin Hongzhi?" Qin Mubai suddenly said.
Li You trembled all over his body and shook his head.
"You have been used, and you still don't know how to turn back." Qin Mubai said, "Yin Hongzhi will never forget the old hatred, and finally guide you to Qitu."
"Father's hatred is not the same. What's wrong with him?" Li You said.
"This is the theory of the man." Qin Mubai said without hesitation, "But you and Yin Hongzhi are not cloth-clothed husbands. How can you be trapped by the emperor of heaven and earth for your own personal hatred? The dynasty changes the world, and it is very common to kill people. For example, when His Majesty's own brother was killed by the Yin family, should you kill your uncle and avenge your uncle? Now you instigate you to assassinate the prince to rebel. If you kill the prince, you will kill your brother and kill the king. How can this be said morally? In the end, only Yin Hongzhi hid in the dark corner and smiled secretly - what he wanted to see most, of course, was that you turned against your father and brother. No matter who lives or dies, his goal has been achieved.
Li You's eyes instantly widened a lot: "Impossible! Uncle is not such a vicious person!"
"Oh!" Qin Mubai smiled contemptuously, "There is no incident here, and he slipped away without a trace. It can be seen that he doesn't care whether you make it or fail in the end. What he wants to see is that your brothers are disabled, that's all. He doesn't care about the life or death of the prince, nor does he care about your life. Otherwise, he should live and die with you, shouldn't he?
"Have you searched?" Li You asked.
"Dig three feet of the ground and don't see him." Qin Mubai said, "So I'm here to ask you, where he is."
Li You frowned and bit his lips. Finally, he closed his eyes and shook his head: "I don't know... Don't ask me. I'm very confused now!"
Qin Mubai didn't say anything more. He sat with him and drank tea for a long time.
Li You sighed leisurely, seemed to be enlightened, and said, "Forget it, I don't need you to find a scapegoat for me, not to mention this person is still my uncle. I have always felt that he is more like my father than my father.
Qin Mubai shook his head regretfully: "Until now, you still refuse to wake up?"
"I have never been confused, and I don't need to wake up." Li You said softly, but very resolutely.
Qin Mubai didn't expect Li You to be so obsessed that he didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Does the prince, the third brother and the king of Jiangxia also know it?" Li You suddenly asked.
"The King of Jiangxia and the King of Wu must know, otherwise I won't be rescued." Qin Mubai said, "As for the prince... I don't know. According to the situation, they did not tell the prince about this matter, but secretly increased their vigilance. In fact, if I don't come today, you will definitely not be able to do it. The purpose of my coming is not to catch you, but to prevent you from doing it, so as not to make things worse. Obviously, the king of Jiangxia and the king of Wu also have such an intention.
Li You raised his eyebrows in surprise: "What on earth do you want?"
"Of course, for your own good, Your Highness the King of Qi." Qin Mubai said with a long heart and sincerely.
"Huh! ..." Li You suddenly snorted coldly, raised an arc at the corners of his mouth contemptuously, and said, "You are sympathizing with me and giving me, aren't you?"
"I have no intention." Qin Mubai couldn't help twisting his eyebrows.
"Since I have done it, I will dare to bear the consequences." Li You said firmly, "Stop talking nonsense and take the poisoned wine!"
Qin Mubai was indifferent and said lightly, "It's actually very easy to die. But it takes wisdom and courage to survive. You think you will be generous if you die like this, right? In fact, this is the performance of a coward! You are escaping, because you are ashamed to face your parents, brothers and sisters. It's really not a good habit to gamble or not. You may have developed such a bad habit when gambling money - success or not. If you bet here, don't give others a chance to survive or leave a way out.
"Life is like a gamble." Li You smiled indifferently, "I was born with an evil seed, and I have no choice. If you don't fight again, will this life be like this?
"Obviously, your family treats you well, but you always have the illusion of yourself that you are not your father or mother." Qin Mubai said, "Why is your heart so insatiable? Your mother has endured humiliation for you for 20 years, and she has been buried for you all her life. How can you say such a thing? Well, even if you die now, how do you plan to let your mother and Linger live in the future?
"Mother, Linger..."
Qin Mubai's words seemed to be a string in Li You's heart. His expression suddenly stiffened for a moment, and then he looked at Qin Mubai for help: "You will definitely take good care of them, won't you?"
"No matter how I take care of you, I can't offset your death, the blow and damage to them." Qin Mubai said quietly, "especially Yin Defei. She has been looking for a short time, and now she has gone into the empty door and is praying for you day and night. If I let her know the news of your death... I can't imagine what it would be like.
"Don't say any more!!!" Li You suddenly roared loudly!
Qin Mubai raised his eyelids and looked at him a few times without saying anything.
Li You is full of shortcomings, but the only advantage that is widely known is that he is very filial to his mother.
He is young, he is impulsive, and can even say that he is confused, stupid and useless, but this can't erase the fact that he is filial to his mother.
"Tell me, where is Yin Hongzhi?" After a while, Qin Mubai asked again.
"I really don't know. Don't ask me anymore!" Li You suddenly held his head with both hands, pulled off the golden cockroach on his head, threw it out of the window and threw it into the water. Then, he hugged his head in pain, fell on the table and buried his head in his arms.
Qin Mubai shook his head and sighed secretly, and didn't say anything more to him.
At this time, the sacrificial ceremony of Emperor Yang's Mausoleum was going on to a wonderful place, and the most famous dance music - "The King of Qin Breaks the Array" was staged on the wide altar to help the atmosphere!
The music of the Tang Dynasty is divided into big songs and small songs. The big song is magnificent, and the small song is light and lively. The King of Qin's Broken Array Music is the most typical song in the Tang Dynasty. After being included in the palace music house, it is also known as the Seven virtues. The music is composed by Li Shimin, and the lyrics are filled in by Lv Cai, Li Jing, Yu Shinan, Chu Liang, Wei Zheng and other Wenwu Dechen. The music is magnificent, and the impassioned military drums are played, mixed with the wind of Western music from Guizi and other places, and the sound of a hundred miles of turbulent valleys!
120 sergeants danced in armor and sang in unison:
"Receiving the resignation of the head of state, the general will ask for the traitor. Salted song "Breaking the Array Music", enjoy the peace people together.
"The four seas of the emperor's wind quilt, thousands of years of virtue and water are clear; Rong Yi is not even more, and it is a success today."
At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, when the National Expedition to the South of the North opened, "The Music of the King of Qin" was the military song of the Tang Dynasty, and the music was exciting. The people present listened to the song and dance, and couldn't help but be driven by the dance, and their emotions were high and excited. The most involved was Li Daozong, who couldn't help singing along. Hearing this familiar military song, he seemed to have returned to the turbulent era at the beginning. He wore armor and waded the battlefield, and the man waved the sky with blood. How fast it was!
Seeing that everyone is so intoxicated and obsessed, there is only one person who is like an outsider, that is Li Ke.
He was sitting next to Li Daozong and enjoying the music. Seeing that Li Daozong was already intoxicated, he pretended to change his clothes and left the table. He ran to the bank of the river and got on Qin Mubai's boat.
At this moment, Li You was extremely excited. He tore his hair with his hands and fell on the ground. At this time, someone knocked on the door, and a sergeant reported, "General, His Royal Highness King Wu has arrived."
Li You was stunned and immediately shouted, "Don't let him in!"
Qin Mubai nodded: "Then I'll go out to welcome you. You have a good rest here. There is no need to be so irritable. There is always a way to deal with anything.
So he got out of the cabin. Li Ke stood on the bow of the deck, looked back at Qin Mubai, and smiled happily: "You're fine. That's great!"
"What can I do for you? Isn't it the saying that the disaster has been left for thousands of years? Qin Mubai also smiled and walked to him and stood still.
"I know the nature of my fifth brother." Li Ke said, "I'm stubborn, arrogant, and not easy to accommodate. As long as he determines what, no matter right or wrong, he will not change. So, you definitely can't convince him of anything.
"You guessed it right." Qin Mubai sighed, "I really didn't know him before. I didn't expect him to be such a stubborn person.
"If you are stubborn, rotten wood is hard to carve!" Li Ke scolded with a slight hatred and frowned deeply.
Qin Mubai didn't answer. After a long time, he said, "In fact, his nature is not bad. It's just young and ignorant, instigated and misled.
"I know that. Otherwise, why take so much effort to directly hand him over to Chang'an's disposal? Isn't it a hundred? Li Ke sighed and said with a touch, "In fact, among the many royal brothers, there are only something similar to brotherhood between him and me. Maybe it's out of 'comapathy'. He and I have a shadow as soon as we are born. He is not bad by nature. He is typically hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, and he is also a very filial person. Let me have a try. Maybe I can move him?"
"Didn't you hear his yelling just now?" Qin Mubai said.
"It's because I heard it that I want to go in." Li Ke smiled confidently, "He didn't dare to see me because he was afraid of my words. I know him better than you, so I know what to say to him better.
Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Then you go!"
Li Ke nodded and was ready to go to the cabin, but suddenly stopped and said, "Yes, only you and I and King Jiangxia know about this matter now. Other insiders, such as Su Lianqing and the counselor sergeant, you have to pay attention to seal your mouth carefully. This matter is better than prevention, and it is not appropriate to publicize it afterwards.
"I understand." Qin Mubai nodded with a smile.
Li Ke smiled with relief and patted Qin Mubai's arm hard: "Anyway, if you can come back safely, it is the greatest victory. Everything else is a trivial matter.
"I seem to be a little moved, haha!" Qin Mubai suddenly laughed, "Well, go quickly. Don't talk like a woman!"
"You are really unreasonable!" Li Ke stared at Qin Mubai angrily and walked to the cabin.
