Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 1186 Breaking the Ice
"Feng Xiang wanted to help the emperor ascend the throne, but when the emperor passed away, the emperor was still far away in Guiyan City, so he chose one of you and me."

"As for the reason for choosing me, it's probably because I didn't want to be the emperor at that time..."

"..."

Changsun Yi was shocked and speechless by the reason why it sounded so funny.

He frowned: "You don't want to be the Nine-Fifth Master, why did you fight with me in the past?"

Emperor Yuanwu said: "My mother wanted me to be the emperor, so she asked me to fight. My father was the secret promoter, and I was just a pawn used by him to train the prince."

"It's a pity that the fight between us turned sour in the end, and we were immersed in it, obsessed with it, and went crazy."

Changsun Yi held his aching head. How complicated could the truth be?
It's just that there is more help in the right way and less help in the wrong way!
He smiled bitterly: "Do you have any wine?"

Seeing that Emperor Yuanwu didn't respond, he added: "Let's get drunk for the last time."

Emperor Yuanwu summoned Eunuch Lu, and a moment later the imperial wine collected by Ouchi was presented.

Changsun Yi smelled this worldly delicacy, but had no desire to drink it.

He put the wine back into the tray and waved his hand: "Take it down, I don't need it anymore."

Looking at the serious young emperor, he really had no appetite.

Finally, he lifted up his clothes and knelt down, saying loudly: "I am willing to go to Xirong to defend our country, Qin Dynasty."

At this moment, Emperor Yuanwu's frowning face finally relaxed for a moment.

He said: "Brother, even if you and I are closely related by blood, as long as you do anything to harm Da Qin, the law will not tolerate mercy, and I will not tolerate mercy, do you know?"

Compared with the previous emperor, Emperor Yuanwu was indeed kind, otherwise he would not have spared Changsun Yi's life.

His thunderous methods are not to defend his own power, but to defend the country.Once the intricate relationships behind King Wu are revealed, he will never show mercy.

This is what Mr. Feng calls "the way of a benevolent king."

Emperor Yuanwu stood up, walked to the couch by the window, and knelt down. He looked at Changsun Yi with a smile and said, "Brother, since you agreed to this matter, we will set off tomorrow. Before we leave, you and I will play a game of chess. Let's reminisce about our childhood." How is the beauty of it?"

Changsun Yi cupped his hands, and the depression between his brows disappeared: "I am honored to do so."

He himself was also curious as to why he took on this task.

Maybe it’s because of the four places I just visited.

Or maybe it's because he doesn't want to be depressed anymore.

But in the end, he was convinced that what really touched his heart was Emperor Yuanwu's words "I need you" and "I trust you."

When the black and white chessmen were fighting at the most intense moment, Changsun Yi suddenly threw down the chess pieces: "That's all, I lost to your majesty."

Emperor Yuanwu was puzzled: "You and I are playing chess, why did the eldest brother abandon the game and surrender?"

Changsun Yi smiled and said: "Everything is under your Majesty's control. How can I get rid of the ending of failure? This time I am convinced that I have lost."

Emperor Yuanwu put down the chess pieces: "Eldest brother is indeed a transparent person."

Changsun Yi said: "Your Majesty, before today, I have never been convinced by you, but at this moment, I am sincerely convinced."

"No matter what happens in the future, I will always remember what happened today and dare not forget His Majesty's good intentions."

Emperor Yuanwu patted Changsun Yi's arm: "I don't dare to expect that the past grudges can be wiped out. I only hope that we brothers with the blood of the Changsun family flowing through them will all be responsible men."

Changsun Yi didn't know what to say, so he just lowered his head in conviction.

Finally, he asked: "Your Majesty, does your Majesty know where my wife Hexia is now?"

Emperor Yuanwu shook his head: "After she stole the raw materials for alchemy, she disappeared."

Changsun Yi sighed: "After all, we are a husband and wife. I hope she can have a good death."

Emperor Yuanwu raised his eyes: "Brother's heart has become much softer."

Changsun Yi said: "It's not that I'm soft-hearted, it's just that I suddenly felt a little indebted."

Emperor Yuanwu said: "We always miss a lot. When we think about it afterwards, we feel that it is too late, so we can only seize the moment." "Yes."

The two brothers talked for a long time before Emperor Yuanwu let him go.

Mr. Feng came from the political hall with a stack of memorials and piled them on the table: "Your Majesty, these matters must be properly handled before going to court tomorrow morning."

Emperor Yuanwu was unhappy for a moment: "Feng Xiang, I persuaded King Shen to go to Xirong. Considering my hard work and great achievements, should you be merciful?"

In fact, Emperor Yuanwu hesitated when Mr. Feng suggested that King Shen go to Xirong to redeem his merits.

Once the tiger is released, it will be difficult to clean it up later.

However, Mr. Feng firmly told him that King Shen was not completely bad. As long as someone pulled him out of the abyss and gave him a chance to realize his value, he would still be a promising talent.

Emperor Yuanwu remembered that the changes he had made all along the way were all due to a conversation he had with his uncle when Yangzhou was flooded.

Maybe, people are not all bad, they just lack the opportunity to be good people.

Hearing this, Mr. Feng said calmly: "These things are all the mess left by the late Queen Mother and Princess Yuzhen. I dare not clean up without authorization."

Emperor Yuanwu took a deep breath: "Let it go!"

Mr. Feng laid out the fold, cupped his hands and left.

Emperor Yuanwu touched his chin: "Why is Feng Xiang so irritable recently?"

Eunuch Lu smiled and said, "Maybe no one can restrain him without Madam."

Emperor Yuanwu picked up the memorial and said: "Zhizhi is not around, but I also want to be irritable."

Eunuch Lu quickly advised: "Your Majesty, don't be partial and know moderation, so that you can survive for a long time."

Emperor Yuanwu smiled but said nothing in the end.

The candidates to go to Xirong and Guiyan City have been decided.

The next day, the two teams set off separately.

General Zhenxi/Chang Sun Yi and the supervisor Li Yuan rushed to Xirong together, while Gu Huaijun and Liu Xiaojie's eldest son went to Guiyan City.

At the same time, a small boat sailed slowly on the vast sea.

Xiaoqian stood on the deck, holding a bamboo pole in her hand, looking at the sea attentively.

With a "plop" sound, the bamboo pole suddenly stabbed down. When she lifted it up again, there was a plump fish on one end of the bamboo pole.

She took off the fish with a smile and threw it into the basket aside.

Sister-in-law Wang was enjoying the cool air while holding Dabao in her arms. From time to time she would remind him: "Madam, be careful."

Xiao Qian said nonchalantly: "Sister-in-law Wang, I'm fine. I'll fork some more fish so I can make fish soup to replenish you, so that Dabao won't be hungry."

It turns out that Mrs. Wang’s diet is not good and she lacks milk and water. Dabao eats a lot and is often so hungry that he has trouble sleeping.

Xiao Qian didn't want to ask for help from the Emperor, so she found a piece of bamboo and stood on the deck to spear fish.

I had done this a lot in the past when I was in Jingzhou, and it was easy to do, which actually made the food on the ship much better.

Xiao Qian followed the same method and sprinkled rice porridge not far ahead. When the boat reached the position where the rice porridge dropped, fish would float to the surface.

With a "plop" sound, the bamboo pole in her hand stabbed down again, and she caught another big fat fish.

Xiao Qian looked at the basket and saw that it was full. She put away the bamboo poles with satisfaction and prepared to cook.

Hong Jiang was hiding in the dark and saw Xiao Qian standing nearby. She took off the pearl on the tail of her hairpin, pointed it at Xiao Qian's knee, and flicked it.

"what!"

Xiaoqian screamed and fell into the sea because she lost her balance.
