The Path Toward Heaven
Episode 399
There is only one His Majesty He Gonggong.
The young emperor knew this very well, and said with endless grudges: "I am a wolf cub who is not familiar, what about you?"
He Zhan reached out and tucked in the corner for him, without speaking.
The young emperor gasped and said, "I have respected you for many years, just like a real uncle, but ... still can't soften your heart, you never thought about letting me live into adulthood ... yeah ... just like those outside the palace People say the same, you will kill me, and then change to a new little emperor, when he is older, and will die for some inexplicable ... wonderful reasons, when you pick another little emperor, anyway ... anyway ...... There are many children in the royal family. "
He Zhan said: "It is very troublesome to pick a child to be the emperor, which is not what I want."
The young emperor did n’t know where to get his strength and shouted angrily: “But then you can be the emperor forever!”
He Zhan was silent for a while, and said, "You are wrong. The reason why I want to kill you is not because I want to be an emperor, but because you do not recognize your father."
The young emperor lowered his voice and muttered, "But I was not the son of the first emperor ... I haven't even seen him a few times."
"You are not wrong, but he is my friend. If you refuse to be his son, he will die."
He Zhan said: "I had to pick him another emperor willing to be his son."
The young emperor suddenly laughed loudly, looking a little crazy, and said, "Are you concerned about this matter if you can't live?"
He Zhan reached out and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Get a good rest."
...
...
The young emperor died and left peacefully in his sleep without suffering any pain.
There was no turmoil in the imperial court, and there was not much discussion among the people. Hejianfu was slightly suppressed, and it was quickly suppressed.
Until this time, the officials in the court and some talents in the palace really understood how powerful He Gonggong was in controlling the country.
Many people then remembered those rumors related to He Gonggong.
Grandpa He doesn't drink alcohol, food, luxury, chess, mountains, lakes, and hobbies.
He gets up early in the morning and goes to bed very late. It is said that he sleeps at most two hours, so where is his time spent?
Only the cronies of the arresting factory know how hard He Gonggong practiced, how diligent he handled the Korean government, and he was tireless in studying and studying every day.
The purpose of reading and studying is to be able to improve the realm strength as soon as possible and strengthen the ability to deal with national politics.
As for those intrigues or far-sightedness, they all belong to the category of pondering and dealing with people, and there is no spirit for the experienced He Gonggong.
You have to welcome the new when you resign, and the throne cannot be left empty. It is an urgent matter to set up a new monarch.
Only two people are qualified to discuss the matter.
In the quiet Yuan Palace.
The queen mother looked at He Zhan and paled, "What do you want to do? Do you want to be an emperor? Do you really want to take away the mountains and rivers left by the first emperor?"
She married the Emperor and the Emperor and had no children. In recent years, she took the young emperor to study in the palace and listen to the government in the court.
He Zhan did not answer her question and said, "Pick a little bit, it is best not to have a memo."
The queen mother said sharply: "It doesn't matter who you pick! You don't want to move another finger on this matter!"
He Zhan calmly said: "Why be so wary of me?"
The queen mother stared at his eyes, with strong hatred, gritted her teeth and said, "You have killed two emperors, do you want to kill the third?"
He Zhan was silent for a long time after hearing this sentence, saying: "It turns out that in your heart, he has been killed by me."
The Queen Mother said, "Isn't it?"
He Zhan said: "In those days, the man in black killed me. I was seriously injured and could only lie in your dormitory. Why didn't you do it at that time?"
The queen mother turned her head and looked out the window without speaking.
He Zhan suddenly stepped forward, reached over her face, stared at her and said, "Are you afraid of me?"
The Queen Mother shouted angrily: "What are you going to do?"
He Zhan said blankly, "Answer my question."
The queen mother sneered and said: "You are a eunuch, you have to kill the king, you have to do things in the palace, and you can't be afraid of you in this palace.
He Zhan shook his head and said, "No, the reason you are afraid of me is because you want to kill me."
The queen mother's body is slightly stiff.
He Zhan let go of his finger and looked at the night palace outside the window. He said: "You know you have secretly subdued several generals. I know you have been in contact with Xianyang City. I know that you have arranged a way back in Qi. I also know that when you were wounded in your palace, you had a slow poison in the medicine you boiled. "
The queen mother's face became paler.
"Dripping can wear stones, dripping poison can kill people, but that is too slow and too tired."
He Zhan looked at the clouds illuminated by the stars in the night sky and sighed, "It's really tiring to live like this."
The Empress Dowager looked desperate and said, "So you are going to let me die."
"You think too much, I promised Your Majesty to protect you for a lifetime, but now it seems unnecessary."
He Zhan said: "But I still want to tell you that the medicine I gave to His Majesty that year ... was not poisonous."
After saying this, he walked out of the hall.
Looking at his back, the queen mother suddenly developed an extremely complex emotion and shouted, "What the hell are you doing?"
He Zhan stopped and did not turn around and said, "I don't know. I just feel a little tired. It seems that I haven't slept well for many years."
Under the light of the starlight, the clouds were lined with a clear silver edge, as was the surface of the large black clod.
Under the guards of dozens of eunuch masters, He Zhan walked outside the imperial city, his boots stepping on the cold stone slabs, making a dull sound.
Just like his mood at this moment.
Seeing the truth in a false illusion is the practice goal of every asker.
He Zhan saw a different picture.
What he saw was that even in the real world there is still no truth.
Everything is meaningless.
He finally understood why Jing Jiu didn't give Chu country to himself, and why his aunt wanted to go to Guocheng Temple by himself.
Because he will see these one day.
...
...
"It turns out I am a born monk."
In a quiet restaurant, He Zhanlinlan listened to the wind, raised a pot to drink, and muttered to himself.
There are more than ten hip flasks piled under the table.
Inside and outside the restaurant, including the streets not far away, are full of eunuch masters and Tiqi.
Everyone feels that the father-in-law's mood has some problems today, otherwise how can he drink so much if he has such strict self-management?
He Gonggong's mood is not good, Zhao Guo may be in trouble, and the world will be in trouble.
This made everyone nervous, and the Forbidden Army, City Gate Division, and even the Ministry of Military Affairs were ready.
Capture the palace, or send troops to Qin State.
"Go and bring that man." He Zhan said suddenly.
A few subordinates looked at each other, their faces were a bit strange, and they thought that was it?
Grandpa is finally going to see that person?
How important is that person?
There are many secrets and strange things in the arrest factory.
What most officials do not understand is a practitioner, named Jiang Rui.
There is a special department in the arresting factory responsible for monitoring and controlling this person. It has been going on for many years. I even heard that the department had existed since the initial establishment of the arresting factory. But what do the officials of the arresting factory think? It is worth noting that it is better to spend so much money and spirit on it.
The practitioner named Jiang Rui, now an elder guest of a denomination in Lushan County, is not far from the capital. With the ability of the arresting plant, coupled with decades of surveillance preparation, it is very easy to put The man subdued, and then brought back to the capital city overnight.
When Jiang Rui was taken to the restaurant and knelt on the ground, He Zhan was still drinking, but the jug under the table had become more than thirty, piled up like a mountain.
"Come?" He Zhan looked at Jiang Rui and said.
His tone is very indifferent, like a friend who often meets.
Jiang Rui has been quite successful in these years. By virtue of his talents and drill camp skills, he successfully made a denomination of the guest secretary. He was thinking about how he could find opportunities in the capital. As a result, the lord of the denomination suddenly turned over tonight. He rushed up, then handed him over to a group of people in black, and escorted him to the capital.
While on the road, he was shocked and uneasy, guessing countless possibilities, but could not think of any clues, what a powerful person to deal with himself.
Hearing the hello, he summoned his courage and raised his head, and saw a completely strange face. After he was startled, he quickly asked humbly: "Dare to ask my lord? I don't know what's wrong with me as a wild man?"
When he wanted to come, this middle-aged feminine man in Jin Yi, who could make the sect so obedient, must be a big man in the capital, but he did not kill himself immediately. It should be a place where he can be useful. Opponent in the like.
"So you forgot everything."
He Zhan gave a self-deprecating smile: "So, let me tell you a story."
The story began many years ago in the real world. Two talented free repairs met outside a certain valley and ate a grilled fish ...
Many years later, they entered Qingtianjian together and began to ask.
...
...
Jiang Rui had long forgotten those past events, and was shocked and speechless, and muttered, "You mean, we are not people in this world?"
He Zhan said: "Yes, for the people in this world, we are the fairies who have fallen into the dust."
"I am a fairy?"
Jiang Rui felt incredible, thinking about his own difficulties and hardships in this world, he gave birth to infinite emotion, and of course there was more ecstasy.
He took a few deep breaths before calming down a little, and asked, "So what are you now?"
He Zhan said: "I work in the palace, surnamed He, you may have heard of me."
Jiang Rui was shocked again, even more shocking than before, because He Gonggong's reputation is too great!
"You are Grandpa He! How is this possible?"
"Yes, yes, you said that we are immortals, then of course we should be so powerful."
"No, since we are companions, why haven't you come to me before?"
Jiang Rui thought more and more chaotic, so he became more and more chaotic.
"Don't worry, you will slowly remember everything."
He Zhan threw away the jug in his hand, picked up the white towel and wiped his hands, and said, "It's just that I'm not sure if you want to remember those things."
...
...
The adoptive mother was killed.
It was sold everywhere by traffickers and beaten countless times.
He was castrated into the palace, struggling to survive in the palace, I do not know how much pain.
He Zhan never forgot those things, so Jiang Rui must also remember.
It didn't take long for Jiang Rui to think of those things, and his face pale instantly.
The most painful time for those who are lost in the red dust is not to die confusedly, but to wake up to face the real moment.
"It turns out ... you are still alive ... you actually entered the palace ... it turns out that you are Grandpa He."
Jiang Rui wanted to explain what happened then, his lips moved, but he couldn't say anything after all.
He Zhan wiped himself down on a dirty stool with a towel and sat down. He watched Jiang Rui kneeling on the floor and asked, "How do you like to die?"
