Chapter 616 A World of Great Controversy
Zhao Yun died on the night after the winter solstice, on the fifth day of November.

The courtiers kept suppressing the news, and the funeral was held on the seventh day of November, and three days later, the new emperor ascended the throne, which was the tenth day of November.

At night, Liu Mengyan walked into Zhongwazi's porcelain shop again.

He picked up the two porcelains casually, looked at them, and muttered to himself.

"This red porcelain is beautiful, but this white porcelain has flaws."

"Please come in and tell me..."

Walking into the secret room again, Liu Mengyan sat down in front of Lushu.

Lu Shu's face was displeased, and he said, "I've been looking for you for many days, and I'm here now."

"Busy." Liu Mengyan patted his knees and said: "National funeral, enthronement ceremony, imitation of temple name, repair of mountain mausoleum... This Zhao Song Dynasty, the country is about to perish. Lushu has not returned to Bozhou yet?"

"The matter is not settled, how will I explain it when I go back. At least, I have to tell Wulang the news that should be delivered." The old book recorder sighed, and asked back: "The champion hopes that the little old man will leave sooner?"

"No, I have a lot of news to report." Liu Mengyan was much calmer than usual.

The national mourning was still going on, and tonight he was not afraid that the Imperial City Secretary and the Speed ​​Room would find these Mongolian spies, so he spoke slowly about the recent news.

"Where's Li Xia?"

Lushu Lao only cares about this, which is the purpose of Zhang Hongdao sending him to Lai'an.

This time, he couldn't deal with Li Xia again. Assassination was too difficult, and he couldn't kill with a knife. He could only inquire about all the news. Please make a decision.

Of course, Zhang Hongdao is also benefiting, and he also ordered, "If you are afraid, don't act rashly..."

"Li Xia will leave tomorrow."

Liu Mengyan groaned and added, "Tomorrow is the eleventh day of November."

"what for?"

"Li Xia was supposed to leave tomorrow for Sichuan and Sichuan." Liu Mengyan said slowly: "On the day of the winter solstice, I went to chat with Yang Zhen and asked him when Li Xia would leave, and he said 'five or six days later', which means tomorrow .”

The old Lu Shu frowned, and said: "He originally planned to leave on the eleventh day, but he actually left on the eleventh day."

This is like nonsense.

But he has realized that things are not simple...

A smile hung on Liu Mengyan's face, as if he gradually found Li Xia interesting.

In the past, he only leaked information reluctantly, but today he took the initiative to help analyze it.

"Let's go through the recent events again."

"it is good."

"On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Xia suddenly returned early and left Lin'an. That night, thunder fell in the palace city, causing chaos in Lin'an city;"

"On the sixth day of the lunar new year, Li Xia left and returned, heading straight for Miyagi and Garrison Imperial Street. On that day, Zhan Shiqian of the Zhongwang Palace was appointed as an important minister;"

"On the seventh day of the lunar new year, the first emperor passed away, the ministers held a funeral, read out the will, and Li Xia sent troops to guard the palace."

"On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, the new emperor ascends the throne."

"On the [-]th, Li Xia set off for Shu according to the original plan..."

At this point, Liu Mengyan raised his eyes and glanced at Mr. Lu Shu, his eyes seemed to have too much to say.

"Look, there is a strange thing, a big strange thing."

Lushu asked, "You don't have any more secret information?"

"My official position is not high enough." Liu Mengyan laughed.

"Go on."

"Okay, there are a few things. The old generals Pang Xie and Fan Wenhu died one after another; the Privy Council increased the military expenditure in Sichuan and Shu; the great eunuch Dong Songchen hanged himself; after the new emperor ascended the throne, he moved to Guande as a personal servant... Both Guan De and Li Xia belong to Concubine Yan."

"From the whole matter, Li Xia benefits the most?" Lu Shu asked.

Unlike the Song officials, he didn't look at the gains and losses of people like Cheng Yuanfeng and Ye Mengding. He came for Li Xia and only looked at Li Xia.

Liu Mengyan was too lazy to explain the various forces, nodded, and said, "That's right."

The old recording book fell silent, tapping lightly on the table with his fingers.

Liu Mengyan waited for him to think for a while before continuing to speak.

"Is this kid any good?"

"If not, why did the little old man come?"

"We still underestimated him." Liu Mengyan said: "Regardless of the details of the whole palace change... Let's just say it, someone will kill the king and the palace change. Li Xia may get the news in advance and take risks. More likely , he is the one who secretly supported the new emperor."

"Can it be done?"

"Extremely difficult. I know too little information, so I can only guess roughly, but the generals of the feudal town colluded with the harem to kill the king, which has been common since ancient times, and Li Xia has the capital."

"Do you have evidence?"

"There is no evidence, I'm just talking about my guess, what more evidence do I need?" Liu Mengyan said: "I think there is no evidence at present, otherwise the result would not be like this."

He leaned forward, and said again: "This man is too ruthless, you have to be careful, be careful when making an enemy of him."

"What does the champion mean?"

"A word of advice to the Patriarch, if you can win him over, win him over." Liu Mengyan said: "There are layers of deadlocks, and they are all broken with their backhands, and they even kill the king and commit rebellion, wolves, tigers and leopards!"

Lu Shu looked at Liu Mengyan indifferently for a long time.

After that, a sneer appeared on his face.

Liu Mengyan was taken aback.

"Master Lushu, don't you understand?"

"Understood, let's take it as it is. Li Xia secretly killed Mrs. Zhao, so what? Is this a wolf, a tiger, and a leopard?"

At this point, Lu Shu Lao turned and pointed at himself.

"Although the little old man is an old servant of the Zhang family, I would like to say one thing... you are a Song person, it's extremely ridiculous."

After the whole conversation, Liu Mengyan always looked like he was holding Zhizhu, but he didn't expect to be ridiculed so much at this time, and his face couldn't help but froze there.

Lu Shu said: "Cowardly and powerless, even the king is a waste. If you kill him, you will kill him. Is it worth making such a fuss?"

"No, Li Xia, he..."

"The Zhang family doesn't need to know about the conspiracy and tricks of the Song court to change the dynasty. No matter how beautiful it is, it is a useless trick. It is nothing more than a jackal that came out of the sheep and took the leader away."

As Lu Shu said, he also leaned over, and said again: "Little old man, to tell the truth, you Song people's delicate court guidelines and repeated intrigues are ridiculous, so ridiculous!"

Liu Mengyan opened his mouth, about to refute.

"This game..."

"Do you know how Mongolia is?" Lushu Lao interrupted him and asked.

Liu Mengyan stopped talking.

"Why don't you marvel at your ridiculous party struggles in front of the little old man? The little old man has seen the sea, and the waves are magnificent! But the champion taught the little old man to marvel at the murmur of the stream?"

Saying that, Lu Shu got up.

He has cheered up.

"When it comes to contending for position... In terms of contending for position, the Great Mongol Kingdom does not use these tricks, but only serves as the hero. The descendants of Genghis Khan are the most heroes in the world. To win the position and conquer the territory, all you need to do is to wipe out the weak with a knife! "

"When Mongolia's scimitar cuts down, the beautiful but useless tricks are just hairs that break at once! When the sea is shot down, the gurgling streams of fine water will be wiped out in an instant!"

Liu Mengyan: "..."

Lu Shu held his shoulder, and finally said solemnly.

"Little old man is just a servant, dare to say that the so-called 'strife for the throne' is just a child's play!"

Liu Mengyan has been intimidated by the aura of this old servant from the North...

~~
"Zhuang Yuan Lang?"

"Yes, he wants to see the handsome man."

In the early morning of the [-]th, Li Xia came out of Miyagi and arrived at Lijin Ferry. Turning around, he saw soldiers leading Wen Yunsun coming here.

He thought about it, and greeted him personally.

"Brother Song Rui."

"Feiyu, I want to see you off."

"Thank you, the courtiers have a lot of things to do now, only brother Song Rui can come. Let's talk about it here..."

Wen Yunsun and Li Xia walked across the deck side by side, and stood at the bow of the ship, blowing the wind from the river.

"I had already agreed that if you and I survived this time, I would invite Feiyu to drink. As a result, I visited the house for two consecutive nights, but Feiyu was not there."

Li Xia rubbed his nose subconsciously, and said, "I've been staying in Miyagi recently, so I'm too busy."

Wen Yunsun pondered for a moment, then asked: "During the night of the fifth day of the lunar new year, did Feiyu send someone to rescue me from the Imperial City Prison?"

"Huh? Brother Song Rui is in prison?"

"You really don't know?"

Li Xia said: "You said you were going to sue me that day, and I ran away in fright."

Wen Yunsun smiled and shook his head.

Recalling that night, when he was locked in the Imperial Prison, suddenly soldiers rushed in.

In the chaos, an old man in the cell next door led him to escape. He claimed to be an imperial doctor and revealed to the officials that someone had poisoned the three officials' parents and children, so he was detained.

Later, when Wen Yunsun returned home, he heard his wife say that Jia Sidao wanted to abolish the establishment.

He could see that this was another struggle for power, and at least two people wanted to use him.

Others will be confused when encountering such a thing, but he will not.

Mrs. Cixian summoned him for questioning, but he still told the truth, pointing out which ones were evidence and which ones were speculations.

There will always be conspiracies and calculations in the temple, and he always responds with his heart.

A person's heart has very little power, and there is really not much that can be changed. The result of the entire dispute is still controlled by more powerful people.

However, what Wen Yunsun seeks is always the truth and justice.

"Feiyu, can you and I be honest?"

"Brother Song Rui wants to know what?"

"the truth."

"The truth is, maybe someone used you to harm me, or someone used you to harm Jia Sidao..." Li Xia said, "We just trust the court's final judgment, how about it?"

Wen Yunsun looked at Li Xia with burning eyes.

Li Xia didn't dare to look at him, turned his head and looked at Qiantang River.

"Does Feiyu think that I am too easy to be used?"

"No."

Wen Yunsun asked again: "Then you blame me?"

"No, to be honest, you are the smartest gentleman I have ever met." Li Xia said a little more sincerely, "You are the closest to 'justice' and 'legal principle' I have ever seen in this life."

"It's overrated, I'm definitely not." Wen Yunsun said with a smile: "Feiyu always seems to think that I'm too old-fashioned? I also have emotions and six desires, I'm also good at wine, and I have two concubines... If you and I are close friends, I will never be boring. "

"Well, that's my stereotype." Li Xia said, "But I do regard you as 'fairness'."

"Then?"

Li Xia thought for a while and said, "I take the liberty to say a few more words and guess your rules of conduct."

"it is good."

"Rightness should not have 'expediency considerations'. Fairness is objective. It is placed here and should be used to maintain peace in the world.

You are an official, and someone asks you for justice. If you say, "King Rong is so honorable, he will die when he dies. Someone must use me to investigate this case. I will not investigate it." You will not preside over this time. This justice, the next time it is ordinary people who come to seek justice, there will be a new excuse.

There should be no subjectivity in truth, justice, and legal principles. It should be ruthless, thoughtless, and irrelevant.Otherwise, how can it be convincing?If people are not convinced, the world will be worse.

Therefore, Brother Song Rui knows that someone may be taking advantage of him, but he still sticks to his heart. I understand everything he has done. "

Wen Yunsun took a deep look at Li Xia and said, "Feiyu is too transparent."

"I'm too transparent...Let's be honest, this society is corrupt, and it's getting harder and harder to do justice, so you're worried that I'm not loyal to the society?"

"good."

"Brother Song Rui is also transparent, and has seen this, and is he not loyal to Sheji?"

"In Feiyu's opinion, how are the people of Song Dynasty doing?"

"It's better than the Mongolian people." Li Xia said without hesitation, "In the Song Dynasty, most of the people can still live and will not be treated as slaves or even prey. In other words, more or less, there is still justice. There are still many loyal and upright people like Brother Song Rui."

Wen Yunsun breathed a sigh of relief and felt at ease.

When he came here today, he didn't say that he was going to be dismissed from office, so he didn't care about it.

When he came to see him off, all he wanted to ask was Li Xia's opinion on Da Song Sheji.

Because Li Xia is a vassal, and there seems to be signs of disobedience.

It is enough to have this answer now, which proves that Li Xia, like him, believes that there is still the possibility of revitalizing the Great Song State and eradicating the Chao Gang...

~~
"Feiyu can be said to be my lifelong confidant, and I hope to meet again someday."

"Goodbye."

Wen Yunsun bowed his hands and said goodbye to Li Xia.

His attitude was always sincere and sincere, and he didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt for suing Li Xia in the memorial. He only had magnanimity in his eyes.

Because every word he said was factually stated, and everything he did was worthy of praise.

But Li Xia looked at Wen Yunsun's back with guilt in his eyes.

He lied to him, and he didn't say a word—

"Although the people of the Song Dynasty can still live, they will only become less and less able to survive. Therefore, Jia Sidao must practice the law of public land, otherwise he will have to watch the Song Dynasty slowly perish. This is not an option. But the public land The law will not succeed, it will only take away the last rations of the people, and make the Song Dynasty perish faster, the difference between early death and late death is nothing more.”

Of course, this is just Li Xia's personal opinion.

He wasn't going to say it.

It is impossible for anyone to believe it.

This is something that has been foreseen for more than ten years. It is impossible for anyone to confirm that it is right, and it is very likely that it is wrong.

Wen Yunsun believes that the revitalization of the Great Song Dynasty in more than ten years is now safer and countless times more correct than Li Xia's proposition.

Li Xia has selfish motives.

From the bottom of his heart, he was unwilling to support Da Song, willing to rebel desperately, and refused to support Da Song desperately.

He knew that he had selfish intentions, so he deceived Wen Yunsun, so he felt that he had let him down.

However, Li Xia thinks that what is more important is that he should not be ashamed of his own heart.

One has to face one's own heart directly before one can be firm and thus make a difference.

If Wen Yunsun is asked to follow Li Xia to rebel, it will destroy his original heart, and then destroy his whole being.

In the same way, if Li Xia is called a Song official, he will only feel useless, and it will also destroy his original intention.

Including Jia Sidao, these people have different opinions, but there is never a distinction between right and wrong.

They are inherently doomed to take different positions, regard each other's claims as impossible, and hope to find a glimmer of hope in their own impossible claims.

……

After a while, Wen Yunsun's figure disappeared into the crowd.

Li Xia glanced back at Lin'an, then turned around, his eyes still firm.

Everyone has their own aspirations, but as long as they follow their own heart and abide by their own principles, why force them to go in the same direction?
Stand upright and stand upright, don't ask west or east.

……

The boat set off, sailed, and went down the Qiantang River.

From time to time, there are gurgling streams in the lower reaches of the river.

Finally, there is a vast sea in front of you.

The sea is turbulent, and it is still possible to carry a ship, turn into the Yangtze River, and go upstream...
