Return to the Qing Dynasty (64)

"Why?" Hongxi looked at the white lanterns hanging outside. The entire mansion was busy with his funeral. He was a little dazed and felt unreal. Looking at Ama who was sitting there, as steady as a rock, he knelt down and asked involuntarily.

Why? Why do you do this?

Prince Li looked at the son, "Don't you think you're wrong?"

Hongxi's head slowly lowered, with a little stubbornness, "My son is wronged for Ama, all this should have been..."

"Shut up!" Prince Li said these two words, his voice was not loud, and his tone was even the same as usual, without any disturbance. However, Hongxi did not dare to disobey at all, and told him to shut up, but he would not dare to say a word anymore.

The father and son knelt and sat down, and there was no movement in the room for a long time.

Prince Li took down the Buddhist beads on his wrist and played with them in his hand. Hongxi knew that when he was upset, he liked this. This action has not been seen frequently in recent years.

Looking at Ama like this, Hongxi didn't know why, but his nose was so heartbroken, "Instead of living so wronged, my son would rather die vigorously. You have been sleepy here for half your life..."

Prince Li raised his head suddenly, opened his eyes, and looked at the son, "Death vigorously? Do you think you are a coward in this Zhengjiazhuang. Rather than living like this, it is better to die clean?"

Hongxi didn't speak, and was in a different place. If he changed himself and Ama, he would definitely fight to the death if he had the ability. If he didn't even have this ability, he would not live so wrongly. The crown prince of a country was so glorious that day. Ning Guangxian would never live in a down-and-out way.

Prince Li chuckled and put the Buddhist beads in his hand on his wrist again, "We are talking to each other today." I'm afraid there will be no such opportunity in the future. Take a deep breath, and hold back the tears and fall down. "Your thought... I had it... What should I do when I was alive? But can I die? No! I'm going to die, what should you do if you Emperor Mafa? That's what he really killed."

Hongxi glanced at him and Ama in a complicated way, "Don't you hate him?"

Hate?

Have hated me.

Prince Li sighed, "...but what should I hate? I hate it for being born for the prince?" He shook his head, "What is the prince? The prince is the one who succeeds the emperor and continues to sacrifice for this country..."

Hongxi doesn't understand this principle.

What to sacrifice? If there are really sacrifices everywhere, why do so many people want that dragon throne from ancient times to the present?

Hongxi gritted his teeth and said, "So, did the late emperor sacrifice Ama for the sake of the country? You are his own son..."

"You are also my own son." Prince Li took this sentence before he could finish his sentence.

Hongxi looked at him in surprise: The late emperor sacrificed you for the country and the country. Now you feel that my actions have harmed the country and the country, so you sacrificed your son. So, will your son die?

"Ama!" The man in his thirties fell, and his tears fell. "My son doesn't understand... This country is not yours now..."

"So what?" Prince Li stood up, shook his body and held the table and stood firm. "The world is peaceful, the people are healthy, and they are prosperous everywhere, and they are thriving... Whoever wants to break it and who wants to hinder it is the sinner of the ages."

Hongxi looked at him in shock, trying to reach out to help him, but was ruthlessly brushed away, "Ama! Is it worth it? Are you worth it?"

Is it worth it?

Prince Li turned his back and Hongxi couldn't see his expression clearly. After a long time, he heard his voice coming again. The voice was determined and persistent, and only replied with two words: "It's worth it!"

The Fourth Master stood outside the door and did not go in again. He ordered Su Peisheng to leave him behind and turned back.

Su Peisheng didn't dare to listen so close. He stood a few meters away from the door and waited for half a night until he wanted tea inside, and he took the opportunity to ask someone to inform him.

Prince Li sighed, looked at Hongxi, who was kneeling on the ground and was not moving, and asked someone to take a hot handkerchief and wipe his face. He didn't ask any extra words, but asked Su Peisheng to come in.

After Su Peisheng greeted the guests, he conveyed the Fourth Master's words: "...June's merchant ship goes to sea in ten days... It is not a problem to bring more than thirty or fifty people..."

Bring thirty or fifty more people?

Prince Li understood immediately, and this was called Hongxi to go out to sea. His nose was sour and a little better than being circled in the village. Only those who had lost their freedom understood how happy it was to be able to broaden the sea and the sky.

The fourth brother, the fourth brother...

He stood up and wanted to thank him. Su Peisheng held him in hand, then looked at Hongxi on the side, and bowed and said, "Brother, long live your life and leave something for you."

Hongxi looked up in surprise and left a message to himself? He kowtowed, his forehead pressed on the ground, and quietly waited for the scolding.

"A good man doesn't eat family food, and a good woman doesn't wear wedding clothes." Su Peisheng said in the tone of the Fourth Master, "If you really have the ability, you can do something earth-shaking outside..." As he said that, he took out a roll of things from his body, turned around and handed it to Prince Li, and then retreated.

Prince Li opened the things in his hand, and a map of the sea was expanded. The islands and the areas of the islands on it were marked.

"This..." Hongxi stood up and looked at the thing in confusion, looking at him, "What does it mean?"

Prince Li's hand was stroking the sea area, looking unprecedentedly serious, and turned his face to ask Hongxi, "...Do you have this mind?"

Hongxi lowered his head and dared not answer.

Prince Li scolded again, "Raise your head and look back at me. Do you have this kind of mind? Do you have this kind of courage when you are in a different place? Do you have such courage?"

Everyone can see the emergence of warships, the trade of the ocean, and the role of the sea. But even so, they dare to release such an unscrupulous person and ask themselves: Do you dare?

Don't dare!

Such people can't sleep at night even if they die.

Prince Li looked at Hongxi, "Are you convinced now? Do you still feel wronged when you fail to inherit the country from me?"

Hongxi's face turned red, "Son... was wrong!"

He kneeled down with a thud, "Son is wrong!"

This is the first time he said he was wrong tonight.

Maybe he knew he was wrong, maybe this feeling was temporary, but it doesn't matter. One day he will understand. If he really knew he was wrong, corrected, or could accomplish things outside. If he still knew his mistake but shouldn't, and didn't know what was the most important thing, then what he did was probably limited. He was also a thirty-year-old, and it would be best if he did such a thing and could have such an ending.

"Is this a kind of match?" Lin Yutong asked the Fourth Master who was leaning against the side to read the book while patting the child to sleep.

The Fourth Master raised his eyebrows and pointed Lin Yutong, "Why are you good and good things, I'll tell you that, why is it so wrong?"

It was the case? In the past, the places where prisoners were entrusted were different and they were good places later.

Nowadays, many islands are actually empty and no one goes there at all.

But some places have strategic value. Some people have to go there.

So the Fourth Master generously arranged Hongxi. He was not afraid of being unfaithful. No matter what the area of ​​these islands is, no matter what aspect, it is inseparable from the supply from the rear. In such a place, it is difficult to make trouble from nothing. It is difficult to consider yourself and not have so much energy to do anything else. After thirty years, all ambitions will be wiped out.

Moreover, his parents, sons and daughters are all in the capital, so he is not that jealous and will not do anything.

The conditions outside are like that. Wifes can be taken away by big or small, but the children will never be asked to take them away. The conditions are too difficult and the children can't stand it.

Lao Jiu did the matter with Hongxi’s departure himself.

He sent the person away and entered the garden, sat opposite the Fourth Master, sighed, "Hongxi has something to tell me to pass it to Master Long live..."

The Fourth Master put down the memorial in his hand and let out a faint "yes".

Master Jiu licked his lips, "Hongxi explained some things..." He stretched out his hand and gestured for a 'twelve', "...It's better not to move this person for the time being, and he has a deep connection with many forces..."

The Fourth Master turned around and took the note from the shelf behind him and handed it to Lao Jiu, "Look at it..."

Master Jiu opened his eyes and closed it directly. It turned out that Thirteen had already investigated it clearly, "Then I will take my leave..."

It's been bad things recently, and he doesn't dare to joke casually.

Originally, he wanted to make a reconciliation with the queen, but as soon as he came out, he heard the child's crying, so he stopped going.

Twelve, twelve, I don’t know what to think about anymore.

So what can you do if you are deeply involved with those monsters and monsters?

"If he doesn't move... he wants to follow the clues from him and pull these forces from the root?" Lin Yutong took the time to ask the Fourth Master.

What if it is otherwise?

Lin Yutong whispered: "Actually, I'm mainly afraid that he has real drawings in his hand."

There should be some.

The Fourth Master chuckled, "Don't worry, unless he uses it himself... He is not Hongxi, he is too eager for quick success and instant benefits..."

"It's not that you are eager for quick success or instant benefits, it's stupidity!" Twelve sat in the study, raised his hand and brushed the teacup.

With a 'clang', the twelve concubines at the door were startled.

What's wrong with this?

She pushed the door and went in, "Who are you with..." As she said that, she was stunned when she saw that there was no one in the study. There was a young man sitting opposite her, a little bit like she had seen him.

Twelve frowned, first glanced at the young man, feeling a little uncomfortable, then turned his face and said to Fujin, "Why are you coming in?"

My master has no errands, so what can I not come in?

The Twelve Concubine took the tray from the girl behind him, "How can this be done if you haven't eaten two meals? It's important to eat even if you have a big deal."

The 12th Master waved his hand, "I'll eat later, don't you see any guests? Let's go out first."

Even though the Twelve Concubine had a good temper, she was a little unhappy. In front of outsiders, who did she treat herself as a person?

However, looking at the broken teacup on the ground, thinking that he might have encountered something unpleasant, he suppressed his temper and said nothing, but just put down the tray, and turned around and walked out without saying anything.

The young man stood up, bowed his head and took two steps to show respect.

The Twelve Concubine looked at this young man with a green robe. She didn't take off her hat in the house even if she was not too tall. She was not much different from herself wearing a flower pot. He lowered his head slightly and could see his neck at a glance, which was slender and white, with a beautiful curve. She couldn't help but mutter in her heart, the big man's neck was so slim and white, so why did he look a little awkward?

After this interruption, the little anger in my heart also disappeared.

The girl beside her was clever and knew that her master was unhappy. She teased her with her master next to her, "...I don't know whose son it is, she looks more beautiful than the big girl..."

The Twelve Concubine chuckled and cursed "snail".

After laughing, my heart skipped a beat again, and I couldn't help but turn my face and look in the direction of the study.
To be continued...
