Chapter 75
Chapter 75
That's right, originally he could not have died. If you want to blame him, even though he has taken refuge in Prince Ning, he is actually still a hardcore princeling. He has secretly made several efforts to kill King Ning and make the prince come back , Even letting his son marry his enemy is just to paralyze the opponent and get a chance to penetrate the enemy's interior.
In fact, these King Ning already knew about it, but he just kept holding back, waiting for this opportunity to turn over the old account in one go, so as to achieve the fatal effect of one blow.Like his emperor father, he is a person who either does not do it or does it absolutely.
In the desperate struggle between the imperial court and the five major families, Liu Xian tried his best to deal with it at the beginning, trying to avoid the situation where both sides were killed. Harsh influence, for the imperial court to appease those who were originally on the fringes of the five major families.Therefore, the imperial court did not take away his official position and monitor him just because he was a member of the Liu family.
As a result, Liu Xian tipped off the five major families at a critical moment, allowing some of the core figures of the five major families to escape and go underground. I'm afraid it won't be completely eradicated in 200 years.
You ask me how I know so clearly, because many of these things are only found out by my constant monitoring of him in my boring life at home day after day.
Yes, I never gave up trying to avenge him.It's just that since I want to use Yang Jue's power to get rid of him, I have to endure until now in order to take care of Yang Jue's "overall situation".
After the news that Liu Xian was ordered to be beheaded was officially released, I went to Lu Yin's spiritual tablet alone and put a stick of incense for her.
I have never forgotten how this young girl who loves to laugh, how her life, which was originally as beautiful as a flower, withered and fell, and I will never forgive it.I know that the same death is happening in any corner of this era at any time. I can't manage so many, I can only start from my side, and manage one by one.
Just a few days after the court released the news, Chu Feng happened to be busy with other things, and I went out to play alone when I had nothing to do. I was less than ten meters away from the gate when I saw a person in the crowd ignoring the guards’ obstruction He tried to force his way in front of me, but was pinned to the ground by the guard in an instant.
When he was held down, he was still shouting "Ziqing", and his voice sounded very familiar.I saw that although this man was wearing a tattered bamboo hat, coarse cloth clothes, and his face was covered with dust, but with a height that towered over the crowd and familiar facial features, who else could it be if it wasn't Liu Jinqing?
He seems to have returned to Beijing after his father Liu Xian was arrested and imprisoned. He had come to see me several times before, but I kept avoiding him, partly because of guilt, partly because I didn't know how to face the embarrassment.Now that he came to me again, although it was reasonable, it was completely beyond my expectation.
I immediately interrupted the original itinerary, ordered my left and right to take him into the mansion, and closed the door to block those curious sights from outside.
After bringing him into the room, I nervously asked: "Didn't you have been grounded by the emperor in the Liu Mansion? How did you escape? Are you dying?"
"Miss Xie helped me escape." Liu Jinqing still uses this title to refer to his first wife.
Although reason told me that I should break off with him, seeing his face was scratched because of being pressed on the ground, I still couldn't bear it: "You are too reckless, just rush over like this, if What should I do if I was injured by my guards?"
Liu Jinqing took the towel I handed him, and didn't bother to wipe off the dust on his face, so he said straight to the point: "These are not important, Brother Yu came here to ask for something."
I was so guilty that I turned my eyes away and didn't dare to look at him: "Sorry, I'm afraid I can't help you with what you want."
"Brother Yu knows Ziqing's difficulties, so naturally he won't make it difficult for you. It's just that my father has been imprisoned for more than a month. Now the weather is bitter and cold, and the prison is probably like an icehouse. My father is weak. Brother Yu just wants to visit him and give him Send me some winter clothes and quilts, I don’t have anything else to ask for, but I also ask Ziqing to fulfill it.” Liu Jinqing said that he was about to bow down to me, but I would not accept it, so I quickly supported him and said that I would do my best.
In fact, I know that Liu Xian does not lack these things. It is strange to say that he did not run away after informing his family. Sitting upright in the lobby, quietly waiting for the imperial court to send someone to arrest him.
Maybe it was because he was a man who dared to act anyway, or maybe it was because of his respect for this old opponent for many years, but Yang Jue didn't make things difficult for him, and even put him in a good cell. He can honorably await his final verdict.
According to the rules, visiting the prison is not allowed, but I can't help Liu Jinqing's help. No matter how serious Liu Xian's crime is, he can't stop a son from being filial to his father at the last moment, isn't it?
I think the head of the prison should sell my face. If it doesn't work, I'll go to Yang Jue. I didn't expect that my influence as an immortal teacher is already so great. It didn't take much effort to talk through the guards. He promised not to say anything, and asked me for a talisman respectfully.
Now that Liu Jinqing has obtained the permission to visit, I will not follow, so as not to be embarrassing. After all, I don't know what identity and face I should use to face Liu Xian, the father who is an enemy and friend. It is better to let them alone. up.
But after all, I am still a little worried. Anyway, I don’t need to rely on cheating for nothing.
Liu Jinqing carried a basket of food and winter clothes and walked into the depths of the prison with heavy steps. Liu Xian, who was reading a book with an oil lamp on, raised his head with a surprised and relieved expression: "It's Wen'er..."
"Father, you have suffered..." Liu Jinqing's voice choked up immediately, and she rushed to the fence.
"I didn't suffer as a father, don't worry, there are a few prisoners on death row who can be treated like a father, and can read books." Liu Xian said as if showing off, "For a father in this life, that is to say, this Only then will I have time to read some idle books."
"Father..." Liu Jinqing cried, "Have you been wronged? Tell the boy, the boy must find a way to avenge you!"
Liu Xian smiled wryly and shook his head.
This shaking of the head seemed to hurt Liu Jinqing even more than Liu Xianzhen's unjust imprisonment. He said in disbelief, "Could it be that those charges are true...but how could you...I...I don't believe it..."
"Stop talking..." Liu Xian patted Liu Jinqing's head through the fence, "Wen'er, this may be the last time our father and son meet, so you must firmly remember what father said to you today, Go back and think carefully, understand?"
"Hmm..." Liu Jinqing raised his hand to wipe away his tears.
"Father knows, you have always thought that father is a hypocrite." Liu Xian said slowly and earnestly, "But you have to remember that what my father taught you since childhood is the way of life that my father really believed in when he was young. It’s just that many things in this world are once contaminated, and you can’t get rid of them. At that time, I was young and frivolous, and I always thought that I could grasp everything. When I found out that I couldn’t help myself, it was too late.”
"Father... I... I don't understand."
Liu Xian sighed lightly: "When my father started studying and became an official, he thought that being loyal to the emperor and serving the country and revitalizing the family business were the same thing. Later, he realized that loyalty and filial piety cannot be both. I can only be ashamed of the greatness of the king, and of the country, even though ten thousand deaths are not enough to atone for my sins. Now that I have ended up like this, I don’t blame the emperor and King Ning, I don’t blame anyone, it’s my father’s fault, you can’t bear the grudge, Especially don't think about avenging your father, remember?"
"Hmm... my child remembers." Liu Jinqing broke down in tears.
"In addition, you have to keep in mind that the words 'quan' and 'profit' should not be contaminated in your life. Since your uncles refused to listen to advice and insisted on refusing to give up the immediate benefits, as a father, you know that sooner or later you will have the situation you have today. There are only two pursuits in my father's life. One is to maintain the orthodoxy of the country, and the other is to preserve the family without harming the country. The only wish I have is that you can pass through this calamity safely and not be implicated by being a father. From now on, you can be a man of idle clouds and wild cranes, cultivate and study your family, and die for your father without regret. Letting you become an official and asking you to make friends with the immortal masters of King Ning’s faction is because of selfishness. I hope that even if my father loses, the blood of my Liu family will still continue on you. Understand?"
"Baby...Understood." Liu Jinqing nodded heavily.
"It's good to understand." Liu Xian patted him, with a look of relief on his face, "Although the immortal master exposed the things that were plotted for my father, those things were done for my father. It makes sense for my father, so don't hold grudges against him because of this, and build a good relationship with him in the future, as a father, you can only count on him to save your life."
"Father..." Liu Jinqing broke down in tears again.
"Good boy, don't cry." Liu Xian looked at Liu Jinqing's eyes, lovingly like a new father looking at a baby who is still babbling, "Over the years, my father has protected you too much. Let you practice hard, it is too late to regret now... No matter how difficult the future is, you can only face it yourself, no matter whether you are poor or rich, live well and be filial to your mother, remember? "
"Hmm..." Liu Jinqing was so choked up that she couldn't speak.
I couldn't stand it anymore, and left the scene silently.
Although I don't know what a father should be like, but I never thought Liu Xian was a good father. This guy only treats his son as his own personal property and tool, beat him, use him, and force He married a wife who was completely politically married, but the paternal love he showed at this time is beyond doubt.
I feel that I owe Liu Jinqing, but I don't regret it.A murderer also has a father's love, but a murderer is a murderer, not to mention that what Liu Xian bears is not just Lu Yin's life, what he let go is not just his relatives and family, even if I If he is not dealt with, the emperor will not spare him.
