"Okay, okay, brother, brother, I'm afraid of you, okay, don't say anything, I beg you." Zai Yi didn't expect that Zai Lian fell to his knees with a plop, and wept bitterly.

Zaiyi hurriedly knelt on the ground, took his brother's hand and said, "Brother, what are you doing? Aren't you breaking my brother's life? Brother, don't talk about it, can't you just stop talking about it?"

Zai Lian said with snot and tears: "Take it easy, you have a competitive temper when you were young, but you have to think about it, no matter how strong you are, can you still compete with the emperor? The emperor That's not comparable to ordinary people. At the beginning, Britain and France were so rampant, and they were known as the world's number one. In the end, he said he defeated and he defeated. And Japan in front of him, he wiped out the entire country with one sentence. We royal family The nobleman should be cautious at all times, we will do our best to do things for the court if he uses us, and he will be happy if he doesn’t need us. Let everything go by fate, you can’t force it.”

The more Zaiyi listened, the more unhappy he became, and finally stood up abruptly: "What's wrong with him, he is all luck, I don't accept this reason, I just want to compare this with him, let him know sooner or later, we Yi The aristocrats of the Xi family are not easy to mess with! Besides, even if the bottom is lost in the end, he can still do something to me, brother. Since ancient times, there has been no knife to kill the royal family. At worst, I will be imprisoned for life or sent to Siberia, then I will Also admitted."

Zai Lian really didn't know how to persuade him. He suddenly thought of something, turned his head and stared at Xizi who was still in a daze, and said, "This conversation between our brothers must not be known to others, do you understand? Otherwise, your life will be weighed." !"

Xizi hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Master, this yard is designed as a secret room, inside and outside are covered with banana trees, so that not even a mosquito can fly in, and even if you make loud noises, no one will hear you."

Zai Lian's face sank: "Bah, I'm talking about you! If you dare to spread this matter, I will kill you first."

"Don't dare, absolutely not. This servant has been with Prince Duan for more than ten years, and the whole family is serving in this mansion. Even if this servant has the guts, he would not dare to do anything wrong to Prince Duan." Xizi Aggrievedly argued.

Zaiyi waved his hand: "Brother, you're worrying too much, Xizi is one of us, so he wouldn't dare to borrow his courage."

"Yes, yes, Prince Duan still understands slaves."

Zaiyi took the eldest brother's hand and said, "Big brother, let's do it together with the brothers, and turn the city of Beijing upside down!"

When Zai Lian heard this, he waved his hands in a hurry: "Brother is a wimp, I don't dare to follow you into this muddy water, but I've already said everything, you have to decide where to go."

Zaiyi's eyes flashed, and he sneered: "Okay, okay, big brother, little brother will definitely think about it, but there is still a guest in the front hall right now, so it's almost time to leave him alone, let's go, let's meet."

Zai Yi was in the front, Zai Lian was in the back, and Xi Zi was leading the way. After a while, the three of them meandered to the front hall. There was a person walking anxiously in the front hall. Seeing the two princes coming, he hurried Kneeling to pay respects to the two princes, "Cheng Zhaohou, the humble director of the Jiangsu Commercial Department, pays his respects to the two princes."

"Haha, old Cheng, I kept you waiting, sit down."

"Thank you, Lord."

After the guests and hosts sat down, Zaiyi smiled and said to Cheng Zhaohou: "Old Cheng, you always have a strong heart in everything you do. How could you almost capsize in the gutter this time? You were too careless." Zaiyi's tone was very polite but his words were With a trace of reproach.

Cheng Zhaohou looked very ashamed: "Oh, it's all my fault for my lax management of the family, which almost caused a catastrophe. This time I came here specially to thank the prince."

Zai Lian asked his brother suspiciously: "What are you talking about? It confuses me."

Zaiyi pointed at Cheng Zhaohou and said with a smile: "This matter has to start from last year. Last year, there was a vacancy in the Jiangsu Commercial Department. The Ministry of Personnel and Jiangsu Province drew up a candidate list, and Lao Cheng was also on the list. , but who doesn’t know that it’s a big fat job, so the competition is very fierce, both openly and secretly. If I hadn’t fought for him, who might have this job. Old Cheng, am I right? "

"Yes, yes, if it weren't for Lord Duan to operate from it, I, Cheng Zhaohou, would never be able to take this position. The kindness that Prince Duan has shown to this humble position is unforgettable."

Zai Lian blinked his eyes and asked puzzledly: "Second brother, you are the one who is playing around? You are nothing more than an idle Prince Duan, and you have no position in the court. How can you talk about the word "swinging around?"

Zaiyi pursed his lips and smiled: "Brother, what am I talking about, you, the Fuguo Duke, only know how to enjoy family life at home all day long, and care too little about the political affairs of the court."

Zai Lian became nervous again: "Since the new policy of the imperial court, all ministries have been in order. The matter of selecting and appointing officials is the most important thing. All aspects attach great importance to it. No matter how capable Cheng Zhaohou is, he has to go through layers of assessments before he can make a conclusion. Second, tell the truth Me, did you do something shameful behind my brother's back, if you still treat me as your big brother, just tell the truth."

"Brother, you are too kind and sometimes pedantic. The new policy is the new policy, and people's hearts are people's hearts. No matter how strict the court's laws and regulations are, haven't there always been a large number of people who are corrupt and sell the law? Since ancient times, officials have been unable to avoid the word greedy. Greed for money, sex, power, and life, China has become bigger and more people have gone, who can guarantee that everyone is loyal, and who can guarantee that no one will not deviate, is my majestic Prince Duan in the court? There are not many personal friends who can get along well. These days, only ordinary people can live a peaceful life behind closed doors. If people like our buddies want to gain a foothold at the foot of the imperial city, how can they do without some confidantes? Old Cheng, Do you think what this king said is correct?" Zaiyi turned his head and asked Cheng Zhaohou.

"Yes, what the lord said is the most reasonable words. Those of us who are officials in the local area need to make a lot of friends to gain a firm foothold. Whether it is business, politics, or even the military, we must know each other. Otherwise, it will be a critical moment. Whoever praises you will have to be suppressed by others if no one praises you. Naturally, the more prominent figures like you, the better. Hehe..." Cheng Zhaohou smiled slyly.

Zai Lian's face changed when he heard this, and he said anxiously: "Second brother, forming a party for personal gain is a crime of U-turn."

"Brother, why are you so nervous? Forming a clique for personal gain or rebelling against the imperial court is the crime of turning around. Besides, no one has many good friends. If you are friends, you have to help each other. This is called courtesy and reciprocity. If you come and don't reciprocate, you will be indecent."

Zai Lian was furious, "Okay, I won't argue with you about this, tell me what's going on with Lao Cheng?"

Zai Yi glanced at Cheng Zhaohou and said to Zai Lian: "In the spring of this year, a brother-in-law of Lao Cheng fell in love with the female shopkeeper of the tofu shop in the city, and the two of them would come and go. It was just your love and my wish. However, her husband found out about the matter later, and he repeatedly asked his wife and brother to settle accounts, and was beaten up by the other party. He was unwilling to go to the provincial government office to file a complaint. Accepted, I thought the matter would be dismissed, but I didn't expect that after a lapse of one month, the complainant would come all the way to Beijing, and repeatedly appealed to the Suzheng Office. People in Jiangsu Province are well connected, but the imperial city is full of hills, so my eyes are completely darkened. Fortunately, I came forward to clear up the people in the Suzheng Hall in time, so this certificate was not handed in. Old Cheng, what this king said is the truth ?"

Cheng Zhaohou knelt down again, and said solemnly: "The lord has shown me great kindness, and it is difficult to repay me with a humble position."

"Then... what happened to the complainant? Can he swallow this breath?" Zai Lian asked again.

Zai Yi chuckled, and put his hand across his neck: "If you want to get rid of everything, of course you have to cut the grass and roots."

"What!" Zai Lian turned pale with shock, and said in a trembling voice, "Second brother, you... When did you become such a person? Your life is at stake!"

Cheng Zhaohou said hastily: "My lord, this matter has nothing to do with Prince Duan. It was handled secretly by people sent by the humble staff. Afterwards, the corpses were destroyed and no traces were left. No outsiders will know."

Zai Lian got up suddenly, and pointed at Zai Yi with trembling fingers: "Second brother, second child, I used to think that you were smart, well-mannered, and rarely intervened in your affairs. You can do it." Pointing to Cheng Zhaohou, he said to Zaiyi: "This person seduces other people's wives, and they sue them, and even kill them. Such a person is like a pig or a dog. He is no different from a beast. How dare you be like this? It's a kind of friendship, I really... really..." Zai Lian was so angry that he couldn't say the next thing, he flicked his sleeves and rushed out the door.

Zaiyi just sneered and looked at his elder brother's back as he went away, and didn't want to keep him.

Cheng Zhaohou panicked, "My lord, it seems that my lord disapproves of our actions. What if he tells the story?"

"No, he's just a bit pedantic. I'll enlighten him more in the future, so I'm not afraid that he won't give in. Besides, since ancient times, there is no reason for an elder brother to harm a brother."

Cheng Zhaohou sucked his teeth and let out a sizzling voice: "I still feel that something is wrong. You always teach us to do things cleanly and neatly so that there will be no future troubles. If it is impossible, I will send a few killers to kill him without stopping. You explain……"

"Fart!" Zai Yi immediately became angry: "I tell you that the surname is Cheng, and I, Zai Yi, is the only elder brother. If you dare to be a little disrespectful to him, I will kill you first, and I will kill you first." There is your son-in-law who is a son of a bitch, and all of them have been cleaned up! Can you hear me clearly?"

"Yes, I understand."

ps: Leave a button for Zaiyi in advance, the next volume will explain in detail, after all, this volume is mainly about the World War, and the next one is the decisive battle between China and Germany.

Resurgence: The Second World War 6 Chapter [-] Farewell

At this time, in the Forbidden City, Yuexuan was full of voices. A large group of imperial physicians were divided into two groups, one group was a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, and the other group was a group of German doctors. The two groups were arguing about Maozi's condition and their faces were red. Both sides insisted on their own opinions. It is said that the medicine of tiger and wolf must be used in an emergency to bring the mother back to life. Although this is a bad strategy, but at this time, the mother is dead, so the only option is to take risks.One side said that the mother's illness is now beyond the reach of Western medicine, but Western medicine can prolong her life for a day or two with intravenous injections, which is much better than those tiger and wolf medicines in Chinese medicine.The two sides insisted on their own words, and they couldn't stop arguing. The noise became louder and louder, and it seemed that the roof of the house was about to be lifted.

Empress Jingfen, Concubine Lan, Concubine De, Concubine Zhen, Concubine De Ling, Concubine Rongling, Concubine Duan, etc., some were crying silently, some were saddened, some were gloating, all the princes and princesses were still young, I still don't know what happened, and they get together to play in twos and threes.The eldest prince Pu Yin rushed back to the palace immediately after hearing the news, pacing back and forth anxiously.The second prince Pu De looked at the back room worriedly, dazed in a daze.

Ting Yuexuan, which was originally quiet, was full of voices at this time, and it became a mess.

Suddenly, a roar came from the back room: "Stop making noise, get out!"

This was the voice of the emperor, everyone's face changed, they didn't dare to make any noise, and they all left Ting Yuexuan silently.

In the back room, Maozi was still wearing her favorite white dress, lying quietly under the curtain, his whole body became emaciated, which made people feel heartbroken at a glance.Guan Xuqing's eyes were red and bloodshot. He had been up for countless days and nights. He was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding Maozi's cold hand tightly with both hands.

Maozi has been in a coma for two days and two nights. Guan Xuqing put aside all state affairs and has been quietly waiting by her side. This is also the longest time he has been with her since Maozi entered the palace, but this time it is When she was seriously ill, maybe... maybe this time would be a forever farewell.Guan Xuqing's eyes were fixed on Maozi's face. He had been looking forward to a miracle. As a king, he possessed the power and halo envied by countless people, but at this moment he was unable to wake up his beloved one. This kind of contradiction and pain has been repeatedly entangled in his heart for several days, making him almost collapse.

Sometimes he even really wanted to pull up the rash, and from then on, God would give him a woman without worries and diseases, but is that possible?

"Maozi, wake up, I'm waiting for you." He whispered in his heart many times, but Maozi's body was getting colder and colder, and his face was like a pool of autumn water that was slowly drying up.

Guan Xuqing has never regretted the war launched against Japan. It was a correct decision that a Chinese monarch should make, but he deeply understands the pain of the maozi. Seeing his hometown burn to ashes, the people in his hometown No one with a conscience would be indifferent to the bloody massacre, let alone an impostor who was born in the Japanese royal family.

He was asking himself why he fell in love with a Japanese woman and destroyed her country with his own hands a few years later. Is this a mockery of fate, or a despicable joke from heaven?

Quiet, deadly silence in the room.

I don't know how much time has passed, Guan Xuqing's eyelids are getting heavier and heavier, and the tension, fatigue and worry of the past few days turned into exhaustion, his eyes gradually blurred, and the hand holding Maozi suddenly loosened... …

At this moment, he only felt that Maozi's hand seemed to move, and quickly opened his eyes, staring at Maozi's face, "Maozi..."

Maozi slowly opened her eyes. After being in a coma for two days and two nights, she opened her eyes for the first time, but her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, blurred and scattered.

"Maozi, you... you're awake..." Guan Xuqing felt ecstasy in his heart, and he hoped that Maozi would never fall back to sleep after waking up this time.
