King Wei held his eldest grandson's hand, stood by the palace wall and looked up at the sky.
"The moonlight is so beautiful tonight."
Li Si said softly: "Tomorrow will be fifteen."
The moonlight was as bright as silver, illuminating the ground as white as frost.
But there are also traces of bright color in the frosty white, just like scattered silver.
Li Si knew that it was not splashed water, but blood.
The undried blood stains were illuminated by the moonlight.
Grandfather said that the moonlight was beautiful, but Li Si only felt that the moon was also covered with blood today.
But by dawn at the latest, all traces of it will be gone.
The Forbidden Army checked them carefully again, and the dead bodies were quickly removed.
Those that were still alive were stabbed neatly and thrown into the cart.
After the underground was emptied, the Imperial Army left with a cart.
Someone quickly came over and used a shovel to shovel out the bloody layer of the underground and fill it in the pit.
This is the consequence of rebellion.
Li Si was secretly shocked.
Although his grandfather and father had worked hard to cultivate him since he was a child, this was the first time he had seen such a scene.
So many lives are lost.
Many of the people below were people he recognized, and some even lived not far from Prince Wei's Mansion.
Some of them were acquaintances of Li Si who studied in Gongxue together, some were even brothers who had not yet entered the fifth server, and some came over to make trouble with Li Si when he got married.
Until now, Li Si still can't believe that they were involved in the rebellion.
It would be easy to say if there were only one or two, but it was not one or two.
They are also descendants of Emperor Gaozu, and they all have the same surname of Li.
But the emperor did not give them any mercy.
Li Si thought of King De's rebellion when the emperor ascended the throne.
The emperor spared King De's life out of love.
But this time the emperor didn't give these people a chance at all, nor did he give others a chance to react.
He didn't even try them, he just took them and killed them all.
The voices of those people crying and begging for mercy and repenting and calling out for injustice were so tragic.
But neither their grandfather nor the young eunuch who came with them were moved by such cruel killings.
Also, his second uncle.
Grandfather had him imprisoned.
When his father was still alive, although this second uncle was dim and incompetent, he never got into any trouble.
Li Si even thought that when the palace was passed to him, he wouldn't mind taking more care of his second uncle's family out of kinship.
But when my father passed away, everything changed.
The second uncle seemed to think that Prince Wei's palace was already in his possession, and his arrogance became increasingly arrogant.
It was Li Si's wish to completely trample his second uncle under his feet.
Now he seems to have gotten what he wanted.
My grandfather may be a little confused when it comes to housework, but he is absolutely unambiguous in the face of such major matters of right and wrong.
Even if it is his own son, King Wei will deal with it the same way if he commits a crime.
Even if the second uncle is lucky enough to save his life this time, the inheritance of Prince Wei's Palace will be completely lost to him.
The emperor probably won't kill him.
After all, everyone knows that the second uncle is stupid and incompetent, and he is also timid.
Even if he had the courage, he would not dare to commit regicide and rebellion.
He was just deceived.
The emperor would probably pardon his second uncle's death penalty for the sake of his grandfather's years of diligence and loyalty.

But Li Si was not happy about this.
This is not only because the emperor may have punished Prince Wei's palace for his second uncle's affairs.
There are other reasons.
He was afraid and worried for some reasons that he didn't even know clearly.
None of King De's previous rebellions resulted in death.
Li Si originally thought that most of the royal family members involved in this incident would only be imprisoned, demoted, or expelled.
But now I vaguely understand one thing.
King De was able to survive not because of others' pleas, but because the emperor did not want him to die at that time.
As for these people today, since the emperor has said that they will be killed, they have absolutely no chance of survival.
Under the imperial power, what do they, the children of the Li family, really mean?
King Wei looked at his eldest grandson.
There was a hint of hesitation and contemplation on that young face.
King Wei knew what he was thinking.
I didn't have to bring him tonight, but King Wei brought him anyway.
Even if the second son survives what happened this time, he will still be a useless person, and I am afraid that his own health will not last long.
The burden of the entire palace will soon fall on the grandson.
Li Si was still young and could not take on the post of Zongling, and the emperor would not agree to it.
Judging by age, seniority, prestige and ability, most of the people after King Wei will be the acting king or the king of Yue.
They have always been close to the emperor, the king of Yue is more mature, and the king of Dai is also very shrewd.
If the Wei Palace can survive this crisis safely, it will have to lower its head and behave honestly for at least the next ten years.
No emperor is without suspicion.
King Wei had been in charge of the clan for too long, and he held a high and powerful position.
It was inevitable that his family would get carried away and use the power given by the emperor as their own.
If it weren't for this reason, how could his son have accepted money to install important posts for others?
How could the emperor not be afraid of him?
By asking Li Si to come over to handle this errand with him tonight, King Wei hoped that his grandson could see and remember it clearly.
Imperial power can never be violated.
No matter the clan, no matter what the relatives, no matter what the emperor ordered, they would all lose their heads.
King Wei felt dizzy again.
He leaned almost all his weight on his grandson.
Without Li Si supporting him, King Wei couldn't even stand.
"Grandfather" Li Si's heart sank, and he hurriedly asked the eunuch beside him: "Eunuch Ye, my grandfather has not stopped taking medicine these days, I'm afraid he will stop today" Eunuch Ye nodded and said: "It's almost finished here.
Then, the eldest son, please escort the old prince back quickly.
If there is any shortage of medicinal materials in the house, just go to the Imperial Medical Office to get it.
If there is no imperial physician, please go to the hospital chiefs and hospital ministers."
Just go and talk to our family."
Li Si thanked him hurriedly, not daring to be polite anymore, and just picked up King Wei on his back and walked back quickly.
Once upon a time, his grandfather was so tall in his eyes.
Just like a mountain, it cannot be shaken or destroyed.
Grandfather is the pillar of the entire palace and the god of Prince Wei's palace.
But I forgot when it started.
My grandfather is old and getting weaker and weaker.
Now the person on his back is already in his twilight years and is as thin as a handful of bones.
Li Si can still stride forward with a person on his back without feeling any weight at all.
When he was a child, his grandfather also carried his.

Thinking about it now, it feels like a lifetime ago.
King Wei came to his senses and found that he was being carried by his grandson.
"Si'er!"
King Wei had countless things to say to his grandson.
He wished he could instill in him all the contacts and experiences he had accumulated throughout his life in an instant, tell him to be cautious about haste and be patient, tell him how to take things easy, and tell him how to be loyal to the emperor while being able to have both sides.
But it's too late, it's too late.
"We'll go back home right away.
When I came out, I had someone boil the medicine and keep it warm.
You can drink it when you get home.
Don't worry about it anymore."
Li Si felt relieved when she heard her grandfather speak.
He can still speak, so my grandfather must be really just tired.
He should go back and drink medicine and have a good rest and he should be fine.
He heard King Wei respond, and then said: "Go slowly, don't be in a hurry.
Don't be in a hurry for anything in the future.
Remember what I said."
Li Si responded: "Yes, my grandson has remembered it."
Afterwards, King Wei said nothing more.
Li Si was walking when his steps suddenly froze.
King Wei's head dropped, and his hands also dropped.
His head was lying next to Li Si's ear, but Li Si couldn't hear his breathing.
There was no sound at all.
Li Si only paused for a moment, but his steps became even faster than before.
"Are you asleep?
Please don't sleep outside.
It's so cold at night.
Do you listen?
Don't sleep.
We'll go back now.
When we get back, drink the medicine before going to sleep."
But no matter what he said, King Wei didn't answer him again.
Li Si was still walking forward quickly.
Where the lantern could not illuminate, he walked very unsteadily.
"Grandpa, grandfather, can you hear me?
Didn't you say that there are still many things that have not been done?"
"Can you hear me?
Don't scare me."
"I still remember when I was a child, you scared me, saying that if I didn't sleep well, I would meet monsters at night.
As a result, I looked at the shadow of the lampshade on the screen at night, and I was so scared that I couldn't fall asleep for half the night.
I really thought it was a monster standing there.
Later, he apologized to me and took me to the temple to ask for a peace charm, saying that if I wore it, the monster would not dare to come."
Li Si talked as he walked, tears streaming down his face under the moon.
Xiaoye took out the list in his hand, and checked the names circled in red one by one.
He read a name, and the person responsible for examining the body announced that he was there.
This inspection does not just look at the number, but the age, appearance, and identity must be completely verified.

After all the names above were read, Xiaoye raised his hand.
The bodies of these traitors and traitors will all be disposed of tonight, and no trace will be left by tomorrow morning.
His master assigned him to do this kind of work.
Xiaoye had seen a lot of dead people over the years, so he was used to such things.
Yesterday, maybe these people were all descendants of dragons and phoenixes, relatives of the clan, all of them proud and proud, wearing rich clothes.
But who told them to commit suicide?
They could live a good life, but they decided to rebel.
Some of the people working below quietly picked things off the corpse and hid them secretly.
Jade pendants, rhinoceros horn rings, gold belt buckles, gold crowns, etc. are all the clothes and accessories of these people.
Xiaoye turned a blind eye to such things.
He kills without mercy, but if his subordinates want to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, he cannot stop them from making money.
Of course, the people below are well-informed and will definitely set aside the largest share and quietly send it to him.
When the emperor woke up on the passenger ship, it was still dark.
He put on his clothes and stood up, opened a porthole and looked out.
The monk in the temple on the top of the mountain in the distance must have woken up.
He heard the leisurely morning bell.
Once, and again.
Amidst the desolate bells, light gradually appeared in the east.
The sun is about to rise this day
