Palace.
The emperor was sitting on one side of the table, and Tuoba Lie was on the other side. However, he was injured too badly and needed a strap to hang his upper body on the back of the chair when he was sitting.
There is half a lifetime of delicacies between the two of them.
"If I remember correctly, it should be what you like to eat."
The emperor signaled, and Gu Xiujin immediately ordered someone to feed it to Tuoba Lie. Tuoba Lie waved his hand to indicate that he could.
He probably felt that he was bound to die, and it would be better to have a good meal before dying than to go on the road hungry.
So Tuoba Lie didn't resist. He picked up the chopsticks with the hand that could still move and ate the dishes he wanted to eat.
The emperor didn't say anything anymore, just watched Tuoba Lie eat.
After a long time, Tuoba Lie no longer pointed out what he wanted to eat, but the wine in front of him remained untouched.
The emperor then asked: "Don't you want to have a drink?"
Tuoba Lie smiled and said: "After eating so many good things, if you drink alcohol, it will mess up the taste of the dishes."
The emperor said: "It was specially taken from Yunxi Wine Cellar."
Tuoba Lie: "Then you have to drink."
He didn't need anyone else's help. He reached out and picked up the wine glass by himself. He took a shallow sip first. It seemed that the taste was right, so he grinned and drank it down.
He put down his glass: "Come again and again."
The emperor signaled to let him, and the chamberlain retreated to a distance. Tuoba Lie poured the wine one cup at a time. Tuoba Lie drank the wine quickly and poured it quickly. He drank one cup after another. He probably couldn't even remember how much he poured. cup.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I'm satisfied."
Tuoba Lie said with a smile.
The emperor nodded: "That's good. After all, I still owe you. I can only give you these before you leave."
Tuoba Lie smiled and said: "Your Majesty is not a mother-in-law. No one owes anyone anything. I did help your Majesty back then, but your Majesty gave me half a lifetime of glory. That's enough."
The emperor asked: "Since you are so contented, why do you want to think about messy things?"
Tuoba Lie said: "Gratitude is gratitude, ambition is ambition, they are two different things."
He looked at Gu Xiujin: "Why do you look more haggard than before?"
Gu Xiujin replied: "When the general sent people to assassinate the saint in Guzhu, I suffered some injuries."
Tuoba Lie nodded and said, "I'm sorry about that. I actually like you as a person. You can hate me. After all, it won't last long. You'll be relieved if I die."
He looked at the emperor again: "There were some things that I couldn't say before, but now I can... The country in your Majesty's heart is not quite the same as the real country, but this is something I always admire."
The Emperor said: "I sometimes admire myself."
Tuoba Lie said: "But can the country in your Majesty's heart and the country in your eyes go to the same place?"
The Emperor said: "Throughout the ages, no one dares to do many things easily, but there will always be the first person. I also want to try."
Tuoba Lie: "If your Majesty really wants to give it a try, why would you arrange a retreat?"
The Emperor said: "I just want to give it a try, but I don't want to spend my whole life doing this. I have never been a selfless person, you should know."
Tuoba Lie nodded subconsciously.
The emperor said: "I am selfish, but no one can compare to me."
Tuoba Lie said: "Then your Majesty must be careful in the future. Not all opponents are always grateful like me."
The emperor smiled and said, "Be convinced if you lose. Don't use gratitude as an excuse."
Tuoba Lie also laughed: "I can't always say that I am too far behind His Majesty, although sometimes I do recognize that... I still have to save a little face."
The emperor couldn't help but laugh.
After laughing for a while, the emperor said: "Do you know what I can't tolerate you the most?"
Tuoba Lie replied: "Kill Liu Jigong."
The emperor nodded.
Tuoba Lie said: "That was the first time I felt scared. A selfish person will always feel scared in front of a selfless person."
The emperor said: "So you have never regretted it."
Tuoba Lie: "I have never regretted it."
The Emperor said, "Even if he always treats you as his own brother."
Tuoba Lie said: "Even if he always treats me as his brother."
He said: "There are so many things to regret. If you regret every thing you do, life will be unhappy."
The emperor shook his head and said: "I didn't realize how happy you were."
Tuoba Lie said: "It's really satisfying when I steal Yunxi wine and drink it."
The emperor said: "Then I won't say thank you. After all, you really want to kill her."
Tuoba Lie smiled and said: "How can I really be moved? I let that cheap son kill Yunxi, but with his little ability, can he touch Yunxi?"
He suddenly thought of something, and his eyes were filled with curiosity.
He said: "There is something I want to ask Your Majesty before I die. My curiosity is fatal, and it is worse than this injury."
The emperor waved his hand, and Gu Xiujin immediately understood, and he retreated with all his attendants.
The emperor said: "I want to ask, am I secretly hiding a son like you?"
Tuoba Lie: "No, no, no, what I want to ask is whether Lin Ye is His Majesty's son."
The emperor smiled: "I like him very much. It would be great if he did. I wouldn't have any worries about the future."
Tuoba Lie looked like an old woman who wanted to hear gossip, but she didn't hear what she wanted to hear, so her face was full of disappointment.
He sighed and said: "Then I am better than Your Majesty in this regard. At least I have a fake one."
The emperor burst into laughter because of these words.
This doesn't sound like a conversation between an emperor and a traitor. It's like old friends who haven't seen each other for many years, sitting together to have a drink and reminisce about the past, and talk about some random interesting things.
From the time he met the Emperor until now, Tuoba Lie has never called himself a minister or a guilty minister, it has always been me.
Tuoba Lie said: "Actually, I also feel that there is something about Lin Ye that resembles His Majesty, otherwise I wouldn't ask."
The emperor sighed: "I have also thought about whether I drank too much and made a mistake. But I have never drunk too much, and I have never made a mistake."
Tuoba Lie hummed: "If His Majesty had made a mistake once, the situation would not be like this."
He said with emotion: "So this is what I admire most about Your Majesty. He has not made a single mistake for twenty years. I can't find anyone like Your Majesty in the whole world."
Siluke
The emperor said: "It would be great if you could flatter me earlier like this."
This time it was Tuoba Lie's turn to laugh so hard that tears came out of his eyes, as if he had completely forgotten the pain on his body.
Talking about the happy place, he poured himself another glass of wine.
"I guess your majesty arranged for Yunxi to go out, specifically not to let her see me in Yunzhou."
"Yeah, I won't see you when you shouldn't."
"Then... I have one more thing to ask Your Majesty. Based on my understanding of Your Majesty, His Majesty will not send his biological sister to me. Who is Yunxi?"
"She is my sister."
Tuoba Lie was slightly startled when he heard this, and then nodded: "Yes, no matter what, she is His Majesty's sister, very good, very good, very good."
He picked up the glass and drank it in one gulp.
After finishing the glass of wine, he said: "Based on your Majesty's words, the taste of this wine will be different and even better after drinking it."
The emperor said: "Then you can get drunk."
Tuoba Lie nodded: "Then get drunk."
As he spoke, he poured himself another glass of wine. The wine jar was on the table. Although he only had one hand left, it was not that difficult.
The emperor said: "You have asked me several questions, I will also ask you one in return."
Tuoba Lie said: "Let me guess what His Majesty wants to ask me...Do you want to ask me, when I led the army into Geling, did I think about killing Your Majesty?"
The Emperor said: "This kind of thing still needs to be asked. Of course you have fucking thought about killing me."
This fucking sentence really made Tuoba Lie laugh.
"Hahahaha... Sure enough, it was exposed at that time. I was still young at that time. If it had been a few years later, His Majesty might not have been able to see it."
He looked at the emperor: "Then what do you want to ask me?"
The emperor asked: "If you were the winner and you became emperor, would you attack those people like me?"
Tuoba Lie immediately replied: "Then it will definitely happen. Of course those things can kill one by one. This is not a killing of donkeys, but they must be killed."
His damn words also amused the emperor.
The emperor raised his glass for the first time: "I will drink with you."
Tuoba Lie picked up the cup and clinked it with the emperor across the table and the air. At this moment, the half-lifetime that separated the two people was approaching.
Tuoba Lie finished his drink and smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly: "Why do I always imitate His Majesty? It's because I know that His Majesty is right."
The emperor said: "Then you still talk nonsense to Xumi Pianruo."
Tuoba Lie laughed loudly and said: "Everyone wants to play around in front of me, so I feel uncomfortable. I didn't want to be like that child, but lying on the stone bed in the prison, apart from pain, the rest was... Boring."
The emperor glanced at him.
Tuoba Lie said: "The young man named Xumi Pianruo is actually quite good. He knows how to speak directly to people's hearts, but he himself is not mentally stable and wants to scare people with his words."
The emperor said: "I have already told him that next time he scares someone, he should first think about how he was scared by you."
Tuoba Lie smiled.
He picked up the wine jar and found it empty.
He looked at the emperor with a dissatisfied look on his face, and the emperor was helpless.
He said: "Yunxi has not brewed wine for a long time. This is the last jar. It is all for you, not the wine in my cup."
Tuoba Lie sighed and looked at the empty wine glass, his face full of unfinished content.
"Not drunk."
He picked up the empty wine glass and dropped a drop into his mouth. He picked up the empty wine jar and dropped three or five drops.
Smash it, hit it, Tuoba Lie let out a heavy breath.
He said: "I should kowtow to His Majesty, but now I don't kowtow like this. It doesn't look good."
He raised his hand, clenched his fist, and knocked on the table three times.
"That's it."
The emperor nodded: "Okay."
Tuoba Lie turned around and shouted: "Xiao Guzi, come in, you have to help me out personally. The last time you helped me, I really drank too much."
Gu Xiujin came in: "Yes, that was the night before you left Geling and came to Yunzhou."
Tuoba Lie smiled: "It's hard for you to remember."
He stretched out his hand: "Hold me and give me a ride."
When he reached the door, he looked back at the emperor. The emperor raised his hand and waved to him: "Go."
Tuoba Lie nodded: "Okay."
He went out, raised his head, and roared loudly.
"My only regret, Tuoba Lie, is that my sister didn't drink enough wine!"
The emperor said in the main hall: "I will tell her that if she is free, she will go and put some on your grave."
"Hahahahaha."
Tuoba Lie looked up to the sky and laughed: "Then, there will be no regrets."
He turned his head and looked at Gu Xiujin: "Xiao Guzi, send me on my way!"
