Liu Jing silently read the words written by Taoist Miexuan over and over again——

Dare I ask, what is the purpose of the gentleman's suffering here? The shackles of his family? The shackles of his family?

If there was no Song Dynasty, a gentleman would have nothing to worry about.

Jiuzhou is unified and the world is at peace.

Abandon the throne and release the Song Dynasty, only then can we see that the mountains are long and the water is wide, and the heaven is high and far away.

…

Life is not shaped by flesh and blood, not determined by blood relatives, and not determined by the opinions of others.

Fate is the heart. The worries of the heart, the regrets of the heart, the wishes of the heart, and the forgiveness of the heart are destiny.

A gentleman, whatever he worries about or regrets about his destiny, can just follow his destiny.

Whatever you wish to forgive in this life of a gentleman, you can live with this life.

…

The sound of the piano sounded again, and the rhythm was calm and soothing. However, Liu Jing's heart was filled with waves.

By abandoning the throne, can one really be reborn and repent?

Is it possible to live twice in this world?

Liu Jing carefully folded the tissue paper in her hand, put it gently into her arms, and saluted the old man who was playing the piano: "Junior, I would like to thank Taoist Master Miexuan for his guidance! I also want to thank Taoist Master Miexuan for his kindness and generosity, and is willing to give this junior a way to repent and make a new start."

.The Taoist Master’s teachings will be carefully considered by the juniors after they return home.”

The sound of the piano stopped, so Liu Jing had to get up and leave.

The sound of horse hooves trampling on dead leaves gradually faded away, and then Liu Rong put his ten fingers on the seventh string, and the sound of the piano suddenly stopped.

Kind and generous? He sighed coldly.

Neither you nor I are sages. All the kind and generous people in the world have died long ago. I kept you alive just because the people of Song Dynasty care less about you. If you die, the country of Song Dynasty will become a piece of loose sand and wars will break out, which will naturally lead to many more disasters.

trouble.

During his lifetime, my adoptive father longed most for the unification of Kyushu. He died for me. Since I can survive, I will definitely fulfill his long-cherished wish!

As long as you live in the Zen position, the whole country of Song Dynasty will submit to your decision.

However, Liu Jing, if you disappoint me again, you will not have a third life.

…

In the White Jade Palace, everything was as before. There was only a thin piece of paper in Liu Jing's arms, but her mood was completely different from before.

It turns out that everything here can be left behind by him. Not in exchange for anything, just to be worthy of his own heart and his own life.

In the past, he wanted to use the Song Dynasty's jade seal, defense plans and military power to exchange for Shu'er's forgiveness, but what if Shu'er forgave him? He himself would still be haunted by nightmares.

I have dreamed countless times of the shrill scream coming from the cliff of Jueshi Peak. It was the word "Xiao Rong" that King Wei shouted out without hesitation when he jumped for his adopted son.

I have dreamed countless times that Lin Ying fell into Shu'er's arms. Shu'er's hands were covered with blood. Lin Ying kept pulling her sleeves, but wiped Shu'er with her own sleeves.

Countless times I dreamed of Wu Xie, the King of Shu, who was competing with him in swordplay, and I also dreamed of Yilan Shu Palace burning in flames.

Liu Jing never hated Zhuge Rongrong, but she admired him for his good skin, good connections, and good marriage. Most of all, he envied him for having such a good adoptive father. If Liu Jing was not the king of Song Dynasty, he would not kill him if he envied him. But Zhuge

Even when Nong Rong died, he was not happy for a moment.

Regarding Lin Ying, although Liu Jing was jealous of him, she was even more angry at herself for being jealous of someone who seemed to be inferior to him in every aspect. Ultimately, Liu Jing knew that although Lin Ying was not good at martial arts, although she loved to be clever, and although she had a perverse personality, she

The only thing he could never compare to him was the time he spent growing up with Shu'er in the Kingdom of Chen. If Liu Jing were not the king of Song Dynasty, he would not be jealous of someone and would allow his subordinates to kill him. And when Lin Ying died, he was still not happy for a moment.

.

Liu Jing never had any emotions towards the King of Shu. Envy and jealousy were out of the question, and respect was out of the question. They only met him a few times and learned his swordsmanship during a fight. The King of Shu died in the battle.

Outside the Jinyang Pass, he killed countless soldiers before his death, but he could only sit in the White Jade Palace and listen to the court meeting. Hearing the King of Chu Lin Ying hold a grand ceremony for the King of Shu, Wu Xie... Only then did he really respect Shu.

Wang Wuxie.

On a snowy night, Liu Jing stepped onto the white jade platform alone and looked at the candlelight in the White Jade Palace.

"May I ask why you, the gentleman, are so attached to this suffering?"

"Why do you care about suffering here..." He silently recited the handwriting of Taoist Master Miexuan. "A gentleman's worries and regrets about his fate can all go with his fate. Whatever his wishes and forgiveness in his fate, a gentleman can follow his fate.

"

After the snow stopped, the moon was clear. When Liu Jing raised her head to look at the moon, her mind was made up——

You should always live for yourself once in your life.

The one who makes me, the one who defeats me, the one who gives birth to me, the one who destroys me. From now on, it is no longer anyone else but myself.

…

Many years later, Liu Jing still remembered that night when the moonlight was clear and the candlelight was gentle, he wrote a Zen letter overnight to return the Song Dynasty property to its original owner.

The Zen Book was written to King Huai of Song Dynasty.

He planned to send someone to Zhao Guoping Liang immediately after the meeting the next day.

However, the court heard about it the next day and tied Liu Jing to the throne of the Song Dynasty.

Liu Jing received the Zhao State intelligence report sent from the army, and actually said that the Rong people had entered Jinyang Pass again. This time the Rong people came fiercely, and their soldiers were very fast. They did not take the city, but rushed outside Pingliang City like hungry wolves.

On the way, five Zhao army camps were destroyed and eight Zhao army granaries were burned.

Surprisingly, the gate of Pingliang City was closed tightly and King Zhao could not come out.

In the past, the King of Zhao personally fought on the battlefield, and stabbed down many Rong clan's swords with one long sword. This time, when the Rong people bullied the capital of the Zhao Kingdom, he stayed behind closed doors, causing an uproar in the Zhao Kingdom.

What is even more puzzling is that the Rong people only stayed outside Pingliang City for one day. Before King Zhao came out of the city to fight, they rushed eastward again, burning, killing and looting the towns and villages of Zhao State like a plague of locusts.

Liu Jing had just finished reading the belated expedition report from Zhao when he received another urgent letter from the border generals of Song and Zhao.

The Rong people have invaded the Song Dynasty!

There were Rong people in the west who bullied Zhao, but the King of Zhao did nothing, allowing the Rong people to march directly into the Song Dynasty. In the east, there were Chu people attacking Song Dynasty, and the plague was raging among the Song army. If not treated in time, the Song army might not be able to resist Chu, nor could it resist the Rong people. What's more,

What's more, when the plague invades the Chu army, the Rong people can swallow up the Song and Chu countries.

Liu Jing had to sigh deeply. While listening to the courtiers talking about the bravery of the Rong people and the cunning of the Chu people, he weighed in his mind:

"If I give the Zen throne to the missing King Zhao at this time, I will be putting the lives of innocent people in the Song Kingdom at risk.

And the Chu people's attack on the Song Dynasty is not a marriage between Song and Chu. If I surrender the Song State to the Chu State at this time, the entire Song State will definitely oppose it.

At a time when natural and man-made disasters are rampant, if I just leave... the Song Dynasty will be in chaos, and the soldiers will trample the land of Kyushu, and then everyone will be devastated. Isn't it my fault?

That’s all, although a man has no attachment here, he can’t be so unrestrained that he has no morality and responsibility.”

At the court meeting that day, the King of Song overpowered his ministers and proposed peace with the Chu army.

Liu Jing wrote a peace agreement in his own hand that everyone in the Song Dynasty felt was humiliating, and ordered it to be delivered immediately to Dongfang Sui, King of Anyi of Chu State, who was in Yide City. The peace agreement stated that all the cities gained by the Chu army in this battle would belong to them.
