nine words

The dark clouds firmly covered the sky, refusing to let a ray of sunlight pass through, and large drops of rain fell on the bluestone slabs, making a "slapping" sound.

Some people may appreciate this kind of scenery, but to Gong Ziqing's ears, it is like a magic sound urging him to death, making people upset and anxious.

A few days ago, Chu Jiuge's words were tantamount to a blow to the head, shattering all of Gong Ziqing's ambitions. Even at the enthronement ceremony, he just took the crown symbolizing the glory of the king from the prime minister's tray and buckled it on his head absent-mindedly. In the apse, I meditated.

He is no longer Gong Ziqing, but Yan Wangqing, Xu Changqing.

As the king of a country, how could he accept the humiliation of being defeated without a fight?Even if it was Chu Jiuge's words, he didn't want to listen.He knew in his heart that Chu Jiuge didn't love him or anyone, but maybe he was more inclined to do everything he could. Did he really want to listen to him and give up the long-coveted and hard-won throne to his enemies?

...he couldn't do it, and didn't want to do it...

"Do you feel that I am in love, jealous, and unwilling to follow my temperament?" Chu Jiuge had already reached the seven days when he lost his voice, holding a wolf hair brush in his hand, and flicking his wrist on the rice paper in front of Xu Changqing, writing like a cloud.

"I know it's difficult for a strong man, but I don't hate you, and I don't plan to use you and Sui to deal with Chang Lingge. I just hope that you will not be buried by the tide of history. He can win the country, and you can also be called King, govern your people on the land that has been passed down from generation to generation. I think this is consummation."

Xu Changqing shook his head with a wry smile.

Jealous?

He does mean this, but after all, he is not one of those concubines in the harem who compete for beauty and do their best to win favor. They still focus on revenge and career.

"Is it true that defeat without fighting is consummation?"

Chu Jiuge shook his head and continued to write: "Consummation is the only way the world is unified."

"I can't be as magnanimous as you, and I don't hold grudges after being injured by people all over the world. Of course, I, who has been injured by you, have no right to say that at all."

Chu Jiuge shook his head again, lowered his head and was about to write something, suddenly Xu Changqing grabbed his wrist and pulled him into his arms, completely ignoring the panicked eyes and struggling to push his arms away, and calmly covered his lips. On Chu Jiuge's lips, there was a soft, shallow kiss.

Unlike the barbarism that was determined to invade to the end in the past, even Chu Jiuge himself was a little surprised by Xu Changqing's change.After all, he was hurt deeply by him, and he even became mentally weak for a time. He was very afraid of seeing Gong Ziqing, even if Gong Ziqing touched him, he would scream in pain that he would be obedient, and begged Gong Ziqing to let him go.

Those days were a painful experience that Chu Jiuge would never want to recall.

The past is gone forever, and now Xu Changqing even hopes to return to the time when he was not in power and only had hatred and ambition in his heart. At that time, he didn't need to worry about the future of the country.

At that time, he... still had Chu Jiuge.

"Okay, I promise you." Xu Changqing agreed so happily. Chu Jiuge was unexpected. He didn't know how painful psychological struggle Xu Changqing had to go through before finally deciding to sacrifice the country, but he knew what the price would be.

"Jiu Ge, stay by my side... I'm only left alone..."

Xu Changqing is not like Yu Jingnian, as the name suggests, he will not shed tears when he is deeply in love.

As a bloody seven-foot man, Yu Jingnian's tears are not because of weakness, but because of his sensibility. He dares to love, hate, and expresses himself even more.But Xu Changqing has a heart of stone, and the softest part is also harder than others. Since he was imprisoned and tortured by the former king since he was a child, his temperament has changed drastically. shed all tears.In fact, a poor man driven mad.

He is in pain, he is hesitant, he is helpless.

So he wants to make other people become more pitiful people than him. Only in this way can he get the so-called comfort in his heart.

Chu Jiuge, many years ago, saw through him like this, so he was frightened, and he was desperate to abuse him and rape him.

The price is that Xu Changqing fell hopelessly in love with Chu Jiuge, and lost the most precious health and sanity with Chu Jiuge.

does it worth?

If you ask Gong Ziqing, he will definitely answer: it is worth it.Because he doesn't regret loving Chu Jiuge.

If you ask Chu Jiuge, he will definitely answer: It is worth it.Because he regretted not loving Xu Changqing.

"Long love, if I met you for the first time, I would definitely not follow you. Now, you and I will never return, so we have to go to the same destination by different routes."

Today's Chu Jiuge once again wrote the oath of the past, Xu Changqing could not refuse, and did not want to watch him leave again.

"You heartless fortune teller..."

This is a dead end that makes them all miserable, and only the controller laughs at the audience...

Jingyi's time always passes quickly. During the days when Chu Jiuge lost his voice, he would go to Hepi Mountain to play the piano every day. As he said, high mountains, flowing water, and bamboo forests are the secluded life he yearns for.

If one day, he can see the emperor rule the world, and the four seas will be one, will he also be able to obtain such peace?

Chu Jiuge asked himself, no.Because he won't live to that time.

That is, in King Yan's palace that night, after the celestial phenomena predicted that Gong Ziqing would perish after he ascended the throne, Chu Jiuge did not do any divination.

This feeling of being able to see the future of others but being powerless is too painful.

Shen Huafeng rode the world of mortals, left Yandu, and rushed to Nangong. He didn't seem too surprised to learn that Chu Jiuge was detained by Gongziqing, and that Gongziqing became the queen again.He knew about these things as early as ten years ago, so he sent Shen Huafeng out to carry out the mission without any delay, and temporarily handed over the government affairs to the prime minister, and set out on the road alone.

During the days when Chu Jiuge was in the strict state, he had eliminated all the spies and traitors in the palace, promoted his cronies, and all the officials in the court were innocent. After everything was on the right track, Shen Huafeng came There was news that Xu Changqing wanted to meet him, and everything seemed to be arranged by someone, in order.

Facing Xu Changqing, who is cruel by nature, Xun Sui felt a little throbbing in his heart, not because he was afraid of being murdered. Compared with tyranny, he was better than Nan Jun Xun Sui, but he knew that Chu Jiuge must be covered with bruises, how could he not Heartache?

If Chu Jiuge hadn't asked him to do this when he made a plan for him, he would never have put him in such danger.

When he arrived in Yan Kingdom, Xie Li met with Xu Changqing's spies, and after confirming his identity, he was taken into the palace.This is the first time the two have met, and they are hostile to each other, and the dialogue is also tit for tat.

"I heard that Nan Jun has an extraordinary bearing, and seeing him today, he really deserves his reputation."

"Your Majesty Yan has won the prize. You were famous far and wide when you were a son-in-law. It is my great fortune and the people's blessing to see you today."

Chu Jiuge sat on the side and looked at the two of them, as if they had already understood their thoughts, without speaking or pointing out.

The two said a lot of polite words absent-mindedly, but the result had already been decided, and they didn't need to entangle too much. Their attention was only on Chu Jiuge, and they all wanted to mention it as soon as possible, but they didn't want to break this rare calm.

"The Southern Kingdom designated the Yan Kingdom as a vassal state, and the territory occupied the two major branches of Jiangnan and Northwest. Before that, the Southern Kingdom also annexed the Kingdom of Wei and the Kingdom of Ke, and the rest remained the Kingdom of Chu and Ji. As for the Kingdom of Qi, it must be the Kingdom of Yan. Soon after surrendering, the cowardly and fearful King Qi will follow the example of King Wei and give up the country with his archers. If Qi is not defeated by itself, half of the Central Plains will belong to the Southern Kingdom, and domination of the world is just around the corner."

He drank his tea silently and didn't say a word about it.

This was also expected by Xu Changqing. He waved his hand and retreated from the servants around him, let go of the official tone he had been holding, and stopped beating around the bush: "Since I have become Nanjun's subject, I will stop beating around the bush. I believe Nanjun understands." , with your temperament, it is not suitable to enter the world."

After all, Zun Sui is still a king. He has been tempered by the court and the battlefield, and he is not shocked when he hears the words. He put the teacup back on the table and replied softly: "Oh? The meaning of King Yan is that he wants me to recruit wise men?"

"That's right. There are many generals around you, but there are only a few civilian officials. The government has long been replaced by the military. The people are well-trained. This is not what a country should look like."

"What King Yan said is very true. I originally planned to resume the imperial examinations after conquering Jiangnan, so as to enrich the talents for our southern country. This is a very good move, thank you King Yan for your guidance." Nodding his head, he said: "But since If you become a vassal state of our Southern Kingdom, it will be ruled by our dynasty, and you cannot take away the power of King Yan, so today, we set the fief as 'Yan' and make King Yan the "King of Huainan", what do you think?"

Now, in just a few days, Xu Changqing changed from Prince Qing to Yan Wangqing, and then Huainan King Xu Changqing. This kind of rapid change was unacceptable to him. He had to take time to relax and accept his own feelings slowly. The fact that the country gave up because of his mistake.

"My lord, don't worry too much. The common people actually understand your approach very well. To get rid of the most hated war and live a peaceful life is what the people really want. Perhaps in terms of integrity, you can't live with the path in your heart. Kan, but in fact, both the courtiers and the common people agree with you."

This is what the old minister who was the prime minister of Yan State said afterwards. Before that, including when the late king was alive, he had always supported Gong Ziqing, which moved the latter very much, so even today, he is not willing to dismiss him from office and return home. The village takes care of itself.

Maybe it's the right thing to do... At least for now, it seems that they have not lost. Chu Jiuge is still alive, and he is still silently writing all the knowledge in his mind for them.

"Jiu Ge, when everything returns to tranquility, are you willing to stay with me in seclusion..."
