When he mentioned the Imperial Master, Lu Yanchen's expression darkened and he said, "Jiujiu, the student has resigned from the post of Imperial Master."

Wang Lisong was quite surprised and said: "Why?"

"The student acted in Donglinmen and was exposed. If I stay as Imperial Master, I'm afraid they will keep an eye on me to investigate. If they find out my life experience, I will be in trouble."

Wang Lisong looked sideways at him and saw that he was holding a wine glass in one hand, his head slightly lowered, and his eyes were hidden in the dark, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

"Is this really the reason?" Wang Lisong asked.

Lu Yanchen's hand holding the wine glass tightened, he paused and replied, "Yes."

Wang Lisong knew his temper and would never say anything if he made up his mind not to say it. He simply withdrew his gaze and drank his own wine.

After drinking for a while, he suddenly sighed and said, "I'm a little worried because you're not with His Majesty."

"Sacrifice wine...what are you worried about?" Lu Yanchen was a little surprised.

Wang Lisong did not speak, but drank in silence for a while.

"Now that your majesty has Qin Yang following you, and the imperial army is in your hands, there should be no danger in the palace." Lu Yanchen explained.

Wang Lisong shook his head: "I have never worried about your majesty's safety. There should be no one in Dajing who wants your majesty's life. What I worry about is your majesty's will."

He lowered his head and looked at the wine in the glass. A crescent moon was reflected in the wine. He shook the glass gently, and the reflection of the crescent moon dispersed.

"Yanchen, people can change. Besides, your Majesty is only sixteen this year, and young people's minds are the most changeable. And how firm your Majesty's will is is the key to everything."

Wang Lisong put down his wine glass and looked at Lu Yanchen, his gray-blue eyes like the deep night sky.

"I did not die in Leizhou, you did not die inside the palace gate, and Lin Yuxiu did not die outside Chengtian Gate. All of this is because of Your Majesty."

He smiled at Lu Yanchen, but the curve of his mouth was as sharp as a blade, making the smile in his eyes appear as cold as the night sky.

"Just now at dinner, they said that this Spring Festival is our victory, a victory of justice. Where is this victory of justice? This is called a victory of power! We can win because behind us stands His Majesty who holds the imperial power. If His Majesty

Because of their ignorance and incompetence, and their cruelty, we have long since died without any body parts, so where is the justice?"

When Lu Yanchen heard this, he couldn't help but said: "Student, I can guarantee that your Majesty is not such a foolish king."

"Not now, but what about in the future? Yanchen, what we want to challenge is the entire elite class of Dajing. How long we can live depends entirely on how long your majesty can hold on to this determination. The day your majesty gives up fighting against the nobles of the world,

This is the day when you and I will die."

“If it’s for the sake of all the people in the world, why not die?”

"It's a pity that what the common people need is not your death, but a fair world!"

Speaking of this, Wang Lisong sighed and said solemnly: "I passed by Leizhou Fengze this time, and 40% of the various taxes and miscellaneous taxes there have been collected. The people want to survive, but they also have to pray for good weather. There are still

There is no chaos, it’s just because we haven’t encountered a disaster year yet, and we still lack a cheering Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.”

Wang Lisong shook his head feebly: "What's even more frightening is, how many Fengze are there in Kyushu?"

His words made Lu Yanchen feel scared.

"If this continues, within ten years, the great scene will be destroyed." Wang Lisong said sadly.

"Sacrifice wine..." Lu Yanchen couldn't help but said.

Even though this is the backyard of Wenxintang and there are no outsiders, people are still shocked when they hear such treasonous remarks.

"What's ridiculous is that the entire court turns a blind eye to these ills and is still fighting for the distribution of benefits to each family. Also, today's courtiers are all descendants of aristocratic families. These young masters who never eat the sufferings of the world,

In their eyes, when did the word 'common people' exist again?"

Wang Lisong seemed to have drunk enough, and his words became sharper. There were two faint blushes on his face, and he said: "What I am worried about now is that one day His Majesty will find out that the path he has chosen now is

It is a thankless road, and almost everyone he can come into contact with will stand on the opposite side of him and try their best to stumble him. By then, His Majesty will find that the old road is still comfortable.

"

Wang Lisong seemed to have remembered something, and smiled weakly, saying: "Because that road is too easy, too easy... A broad road, a thorny swamp, if it were you, which one would you choose?"

He looked at Lu Yanchen drunkenly, feeling a little tight in Lu Yanchen's chest.

Because he saw that Wang Lisong's always wise and keen gray-blue eyes were filled with fatalistic helplessness at this moment.

——

At the same time that Wang Lisong and Lu Yanchen were drinking, Ye Qinghuai was arranging a game of chess scores alone in Jingshou Palace.

This is a famous game made famous by the chess master Chen Qing a hundred years ago. The winning hand is a calamity material that is related to the survival of the dragon.

Chen Qing made a clever move when selecting the materials for the robbery. He directly took the eye position of another piece of his opponent's chess piece, forcing his opponent into a dilemma.

If the opponent agrees to his move, there will be insufficient resources for subsequent robberies, and the dragon will be in danger. But if not, this chess piece will become a dead chess piece.

You must make a choice between the dragon and this chess piece.

But no matter who you lose, it's a losing situation.

So after a long test, the opponent surrendered.

Ye Qinghuai put the chess record aside and stared thoughtfully at the game on the chessboard.

In fact, Chen Qing could have used this trick earlier, but he chose to wait until the time of robbery to force his opponent into a dilemma and have to make a choice.

Murder and heart-wrenching.

Ye Qinghuai put his right hand on the chess box and stirred the chess pieces in the chess box with his fingers. The quiet room echoed with the rhythmic and crisp sound of the chess pieces hitting each other.

She received an important report from the Eagle Guard at noon today.

Two of the three things Ye Qinghuai entrusted to Tao Yuan at Huisheng Pawnshop have made progress.

One is the relationship between Du Zhengen and Du Jing.

To Ye Qinghuai's expectation, Du Zhengen turned out to be Du Jing's biological son. At that time, Du Jing's eldest brother, Du Ning, was still childless in his late thirties, but Du Jing had three legitimate sons, so he adopted the youngest Du Zhengen.

However, no one expected that one of Du Jing's other two legitimate sons died of cold illness and the other died of the Renshen Palace Incident. In order to avoid having no heirs, Du Jing married Mrs. Gu Shihai's sister.

Moved his former wife, Qian, into a side room.

What's even more interesting is that this Qian is the biological sister of Qian Deliang, the Minister of Criminal Affairs who committed suicide a few days ago.
