Chapter 1044 The father is kind and the son is filial

Li Ling was naturally unable to refuse when he was summoned by Sun Bi, who had been so angry that he could not refuse. Although he was already quite tired, he still wore a brocade jacket and followed the other party along the mountain road to the distance little by little.

The previously lively imperial tomb was already quiet at this time, with only a few imperial guards still patrolling. When they saw Sun Bi coming, they knelt down to meet. However, with his wave of his hand, these people did not make too much noise after all, and only watched them go to the tomb with curiosity.

Li Ling was naturally full of doubts. He didn't know where Sun Bi was going to take him, but the emperor neither spoke nor asked many questions, so he could only follow him silently. This trip lasted half an hour, which made him feel a little tired. Sun Bi just stopped in front of a not-so-large grave. Next to this grave, there was a rather simple wooden house, but it looked old and damaged. It was obvious that no one had moved in for many years.

Li Ling's eyes fell to the tomb with Sun Bi together. On the tombstone, with the light of the lanterns in their hands, he finally saw the words on the top clearly. This made his body suddenly shake, and he couldn't help but shout, "This is..."

"This is the tomb of my deceased mother... I have been here for three years a few years ago..." Sun Bi's eyes were faint, as if they were nostalgic and sad, but his tone was quite calm, just like talking about other people's affairs.

Li Ling did not dare to be negligent, so he immediately bent down to worship the tomb. At the same time, Sun Bi himself was also talking, while bowing, and said softly: "Mom, I'm here to see you again. Are you okay? My son is very different now. He has become the emperor of my newest Yue... I think you have a spirit in heaven, so you must not have thought that your son would have such a promising future today, right?"

He said in a nagging manner, but Li Ling could only remain quiet, and even felt a little awkward. Judging from the relationship between the two, it was not rude to Sun Bi bring him to his mother's grave at this time, but the problem is that their current identities are different from before, and such actions are really strange. No matter how big Li Ling is, he feels a lot of pressure, which makes him at a loss.

In a little confused situation, Li Ling didn't even hear what Sun Bi said in front of his mother's grave. It was not until the other party called his name that he suddenly came to his senses: "Wen Zhong, what do you think of your father and what do you do to me?"

This sudden question made Li Ling confused again. After all, everyone was dead, and he was the emperor and Sun Bi's father. Is it really good to tell the truth? In a daze, Sun Bi said again: "Now you and I are just friends and not kings and ministers. Just say it. Just tell everything you think in front of my mother. I want to listen to the truth."

"This... in fact, you should also know what kind of person the late emperor is. No matter whether he is a king or a father, he is not successful." Li Ling looked at the other person's face and thought of the various things that the two experienced together. At this time, he relaxed and said frankly, "If you are a king, he can only say that he has mixed merits and demerits at most. I have never shown signs of decline for a hundred years, but in these years, rebellions have occurred frequently in all parts of the world. Sometimes a natural disaster will cause the people of a certain place to rise up.

Starting up, attacking the government... This can be said to be used by those who have ulterior motives like the Luotian Sect, but it also shows that the people in recent years have actually suffered a lot. Otherwise, they would not have taken any risk of disasters and fought for their lives. After all, if they could survive, who would be willing to rebel at the risk of their whole family being killed?

"And the reason for all this is the corrupt officials? No, it is the atmosphere of the entire court, the choices of those who truly hold the power in the court, that is, some of the measures taken by the late emperor over the years..."

In fact, he had wanted to say these words, but he had never found a suitable opportunity. Originally, he planned to wait a few more days before Sun Bi sat firmly on the throne and waited for him to make some achievements before he could tactfully advise him. But with this statement today, he said it in advance.

Sun Bi did not blame Li Ling for slandering his father at all. Instead, he nodded with conviction: "The father did not do too many things wrong and used too many people wrongly. Especially when he was old, he held the power in his hand tightly because of his confusion, and refused to let go of it. For this reason, he even did not hesitate to provoke disputes between our brothers... It has been like this for us, let alone other subjects. In his eyes, people in the world are just ants, but just tools for him to control power as he pleases. Their life and death are really not worth mentioning..."

His evaluation was sharper and more profound than Li Ling's, and it made Li Ling not know how to respond, so he could only respond vaguely.

"It is precisely because of this that we, as sons, actually have a lot of grudges towards him, and even Sun Cong's actions were completely crazy."

Thinking of the former crown prince's actions of killing the lord and father, Li Ling also sighed. Perhaps Sun Cong is not a gentleman, but to this point, he was really forced by his father. If it weren't for the pressure over the years and the near despair in the end, how could he have done such a crazily rebellious act, which would have been a self-destructive act?

"Did Your Majesty decide what to do with Sun Cong?" After sighing, Li Ling thought of this extremely realistic question before him and asked again.

Sun Bi was silent for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "I originally wanted to just ban him, after all, he was my brother..." But then, his eyes flashed again, "But now, I have changed my mind, let him go with decentness by committing suicide. This will be the best ending for him, me, and the whole world."

Li Ling looked at the other party thoughtfully, and finally nodded to agree.

Indeed, even if he could completely depose him as a commoner and keep him in custody, no one could guarantee that he would not make any mistakes. As the former prince, once he was arrested by some ulterior motives and used, his destructive power would be immeasurable. Therefore, it is obviously the most reasonable solution to get rid of it as soon as possible.

Sun Bi quickly turned the topic back: "So in your opinion, even if his father is a father, he is not qualified, right?"

Li Ling nodded silently, a father who was killed by his son, you said he was in harmony

I'm afraid no one can recognize him. But this time, Sun Bi did not ask him anything, but said with a wry smile: "Yes, in fact, we brothers were only afraid of our father since we were young, and there were very few respects. Although this is the father and son of the Tian family are different from others after all, the lack of father-son affection is enough to affect us a lot.

"I have always thought this way, so I have been hostile to my father since I was a child. I always don't want to obey what he asked me to do, but I am still quite close to my mother. Because she is also in a bad life, her identity as a southwest woman has always been despised in the palace. Many concubines like to make fun of her and despise her... My mother has never mentioned these things to me, but I still know them."

In fact, Sun Bi mentioned these past experiences on the way back to the capital from the southwest with Li Ling. When he repeated them again, his tone was much calmer than that: "The father never interfered with these experiences of his mother, just like the years of fighting for us sons. He also let his concubines fight each other, thinking that he could be above his superiors.

"At least for many years, I thought so, so I was hostile to all of them. This was the incident many years ago. It was just a quarrel between a few children, but because of them, and their mother, I finally couldn't hold back. I ignored the consequences and drew my sword and slashed at the third prince who just pushed my mother, and cut him seriously..."

This is the reason why Sun Bi was in the southwest as a prince. Many years ago, Li Ling also heard him say that now, he still feels cold. Sun Bi should be only fourteen or fifteen years old at that time, and he was so ruthless and decisive when he took action. On the one hand, this shows his character, and on the other hand, it also proves that he was really very frustrated at that time, and the root cause of all this was the emperor and father who were arrogant.

"Then I ran away and went to the southwest to join my uncle... During those years, I always resented my father and thought that it was him who harmed me and he who harmed my mother... If I let such emotions accumulate, I believe that one day, the person who killed my father and the lord would be me!

"But after I returned to the capital, many of my views changed. He may not be a qualified father or emperor, but he was never ignored as I thought. At least one thing has always been ignored by me. When I escaped to the southwest, he had been secretly allowing me and even sent someone to escort me there. Otherwise, with my age and ability at that time, let alone going to the southwest safely, he would not even be able to escape from the palace and the capital..."

"Huh?" Li Ling was stunned when she heard this, and then understood. Yes, this is indeed a huge suspicion. It was actually ignored before. It seems that Sun Bi was able to grow in the southwest because it was arranged by Sun Yong.
