In terms of beauty, you can't beat me

"Based on your relationship with Xia Guo, and the tens of thousands of shadow guards you have raised, I really don't believe that Liu Xiang will be willing to be under others all his life. This king will not survive for a few years. When this king dies, the Qi family will be ruined." After that, doesn’t this world naturally become yours?”

Liu Xiang raised his wine glass and said with a smile, "His Royal Highness really has a plan!"

Seeing his calm expression, I knew the business was done, so I raised my glass to drink with him. However, I also knew that empty talk about ideals is not enough when fishing. You must have immediate and tangible benefits to lure the fish.

I said again: "This king will help the third prince of Xia to ascend to the throne!" After a pause, I said again: "At the same time, I also hope that Liu Xiang will keep his own place."

The former sentence is a temptation, and the latter sentence is a threat.

Xiang Liu looked at me: "As expected of the late emperor's own son!"

I looked at Liu Xiang and smiled, and from then on Qin Wang Qi Siyi became the leader of the chapter of treacherous ministers in the annals of history.

When he came out of Wuxiangju, red lanterns had already been hung on the street, and there was still heavy snow falling in the sky, he walked staggeringly on the street, and the shadow behind him disappeared.Thinking that the envoy sent by Xia Guo will arrive during the Spring Festival, there will be no movement from Liu Xiang's side for the time being. I have recited the reputation of treason and collaborating with the enemy, and Liu Xiang is waiting to reap the benefits of the fisherman. There will be no danger, as soon as my heart relaxes, I feel dizzy, and my throat is fishy and sweet.

As far as I could see, Han Jue in red was standing with an umbrella in the vast snow. I stepped on the thick snow like I was on a pile of cotton. On the side of the road, the moment before he lost consciousness, he seemed to see his brother Huang from ten years ago.

When it was the second watch, I got rid of the palace servants and quietly led the emperor to the southwest corner of the palace. The emperor closed his eyes and smiled, "What are you doing in such a big circle?"

I quickly squatted under a tree, Fang said: "You can open your eyes!"

Brother Huang opened his eyes very obediently. There are peach blossoms in front of him. The peach blossom lanterns I made by myself have been lit by Ning Feng and Xi Yu. I stood up slowly in a pink dress, cupped my hands and said with a smile: "See you in the old days." The book said "Scorching peach blossoms, Yishi IKEA", so I thought about giving the emperor a birthday gift from Yishi IKEA. This peach forest was specially transplanted from outside the palace by my order Ning Feng and Xi Yu. I hope Brother Huang will accept it with a smile."

Brother Huang stood among the peach blossoms and said in astonishment: "Who told you to do this!"

I confusedly said, "Don't you like the emperor's brother? I also brought this dress from outside the palace specially. If the emperor doesn't like it, I'll just take it off!" As I spoke, I was about to take off the clothes on my body.

Brother Huang looked at me hesitantly.

I hurriedly grabbed Brother Huang's arm and apologized: "Since Brother Huang doesn't like it, I'll ask Ning Feng and Xi Yu to chop up all these things tomorrow."

Ning Feng quietly waved to me from the side and said, "Your Highness let someone who inquired find it. She is the granddaughter of Marquis Han, named Han Ruji."

I suppressed the excitement in my heart and told him to step back first. When I looked back and saw Brother Huang staring blankly at a peach grove, I knew how Brother Huang was willing to let my blood go down the drain.

"Brother Huang!" I yelled, he looked back in amazement in the burning peach blossom forest, I ran and jumped on top of him, wrapping my arms around his neck like when I was a child: "Brother Huang!"

I was happy but I didn't know what to say to Brother Huang. Brother Huang hugged me tightly and said, "Siyi, if Brother Huang is gone one day, will you miss me?"

At that time, I was naive and ignorant, and I only knew that everything went well and everything was good, but I didn't know the truth that the more peaceful it seemed, the darker the tide was.

When I was young, I couldn't understand the parting feelings in the words of the emperor's brother, so I just replied: "Wherever the emperor goes, I will follow, even the king of hell can't separate us!"

On that day, the peach blossoms were in full bloom and the candles were shining brightly. Brother Huang and I lay under the peach blossom tree enjoying our own warmth.

I looked at Brother Huang's face that was as bright as a peach blossom: "Brother Huang will stay with me all the time, okay?"

Brother Huang ran down my hair and hugged me silently, and I said again: "Brother Huang, remember to take me with you when you leave."

Brother Huang looked at me sideways and smiled very nicely. Brother Huang looked very happy, with smiles in his eyes, but gradually Brother Huang turned into ashes and disappeared in my dream.

"Brother Huang!" Brightness reappeared in front of my eyes, Han Jue was sitting in front of the desk concentrating on writing something, seeing me wake up with joy in his eyes.

I raised my hand to wipe the sweat off my face, but my arm was so sore that I couldn't lift it up. After trying several times, I finally gave up.

"How many days has this king slept for?"

Han Jue stretched out three fingers, which meant that she had slept for three days.

"Where's Xia Xun?" I asked.

"He was summoned into the palace by Jinshang." Han Jue replied.

At this time, Xiao Yun, the confidant of Imam who came from the outside, said, "Your Highness still has a big heart. I slept for three days this time, and I was so anxious to the emperor in the palace."

"Did something happen again today?" I asked hurriedly.

Xiao Yun picked a chair with familiarity and sat down: "Today, I said that the death of my brother made His Royal Highness King Qin very sad, so he ordered me to enlighten His Highness."

"This king has nothing to worry about, you can go back to the palace." I replied.

However, Xiao Yun was not ready to leave: "I also said that although the Huadiao wine in Wuxiangju is delicious, your highness is not in good health, so you should drink less."

Today, I found out about my plan with Liu Xiang, which was originally in my plan.

I said lightly: "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Xiao, please go back and tell this king, this king will definitely live well, and I hope this will be the same!"

Xiao Yun swallowed a sip of tea, and said again: "I still said today that the road ahead is bumpy, but I hope His Highness will keep his eyes open and see the road, so as not to go astray!"

"Thank you for your concern today."

Before leaving, Xiao Yun seemed to suddenly remember: "Gu Yi has been bestowed the official position of Minister of Dali Temple by today, let me ask you if you are satisfied with this decision."

"The ones that have been carefully considered today are naturally the best."

Xiao Yun nodded and gave a humming sound, and a man from the palace who served medicine came from behind him, walked to the bed and knelt down and said, "His Royal Highness King Qin please drink the medicine."

I put the drained medicine bowl back on the tray, and today the bottom of the bowl is still clean without the huge medicine dregs.

Only then did Xiao Yun resign, and led his subordinates to leave in a hurry.

Ning Feng brought the medicine and drank another bowl of medicine, tears of bitterness were about to come out, Han Jue thoughtfully took out some sesame candies from the table.

Speaking of sesame candy, Xiao Yun also loved eating sesame candy in the past, and Xiao Yun was rescued by me in Yunmengze Town.

Qi Siyi, the crown prince of the Qi Kingdom, has just turned 14 years old. He is at the prime of his life, and even more youthful.

After the beginning of summer, there was a flood in Yunmeng Lake, and I received an imperial edict from my father to escort money and food to relieve the victims.I looked at the flood of Haohao Tangtang breaking the embankment, and looked at the people who were desperate and suffering because of the flooded rice fields, and said to the county magistrate of Yunmengze: "You must do your best to rescue the disaster and eliminate the epidemic, so that no one will be homeless. Come back, don’t let a person starve to death on the street.”

Nazhi County was wearing a brand-new official robe, and smiled flatteringly: "Yes, yes, what your highness said is that I will do my best to do things well."

At that time, he was young and naive, and he thought that his good job was to open a warehouse to distribute food and donate to the people, but who would have thought that the next day there were dead bodies all over the field, and there were three-inch wounds on his neck, all of which were cut with a long knife, and the blood dried up. and die.

"Your Highness, this time they don't have to starve to death or die of illness. You can keep your heart in your stomach."

Now that I can put my heart in my stomach, I can also give my head to the world.

The sword with him ended Zhixian's life, and the hand holding the hilt trembled a little, as if scalded by the blood splashed on it.He ordered his subordinates to search to see if there were any surviving civilians, while he saw the turning blue corpses one by one, hoping for some miracles.

After rummaging through an unknown number of corpses, I saw a woman holding a five or six-year-old urchin tightly in her arms. The urchin looked around with big black eyes and saw me looking at him. Actually laughed out loud.

Hastily separated him from the woman, and dropped a cloud pattern jade pendant from the woman's hand. The jade is transparent and is a treasure.

Put the jade pendant in your arms, call for an attendant, and let him arrange the children.

Sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard in the dew late at night, drinking a bowl of cold water, the cold heart is also cold after entering the throat.

Please order Ning Feng to return to Chang'an quickly, no matter if I do it intentionally or not, tens of thousands of lives will be lost because of my words, I cannot escape this responsibility.

After returning to the magistrate's mansion today, I took people to search the county government's front and back carefully. The newly married woman of the magistrate county was crying in the courtyard with her yellow-mouthed child in her arms: "My lord, Why are you so cruel, what will happen if you leave us orphans and widows!"

Xi Yu blushed, pointed at the unreasonable wife and shouted: "Your family's father-in-law disregards human life, and his death will not make up for it. If you howl again, I will make your family reunite in the underworld!"

After hearing this, the woman really shut up and stopped speaking.They can live together but cannot die together. This is the case for most of the world's feelings.

Xia Ye Bug should have been singing continuously, but at this moment under the cover of night, it seemed extraordinarily silent.

Xi Yu finally found an account book in the crack of the wall during the third watch, which recorded in detail the bribes received by the magistrate since he took office, as well as his contacts with various ministers of the court.Everything points to Liu Xiang!

After reading it, I was shocked, but a small county magistrate actually embezzled 80 taels!But when I lead people to search all over the county magistrate, there is only 3 taels of Qu Qu, a drop in the bucket.

Cold water entered my throat, and the cold man shivered. I should have thought about how a mere magistrate could silently silence tens of thousands of people overnight.

If it wasn't for the help of others, what ability would he have as a little magistrate!

Just as I was hesitating, a loud cry of a child came from the room. Although I am the crown prince of the Eastern Palace, I couldn’t make up my mind about this matter. , broken into powder.

I used to watch Liu Xiang and the others make friends in private, thinking that they were just greedy for some money and would not hurt people's lives, but I forgot that the word money means life.

The naughty boy I picked up didn't remember the past, so I gave him the name "Xiaoyun". If he is lucky enough to recover his memory, he might be able to use the power to bring down Xiang Liu.

After I buried all the victims' bodies one by one to avoid the plague, there were actually not many people to be infected. The formerly prosperous and rich Yunmengze fell into a desperate situation due to a flood, or some people's greed and selfishness.Looking at the new graves in the weeds, he led Xiaoyun to bow three times to all those who died in vain, and then set off back to Chang'an City.

After my father stepped back, I told him: "Yunmeng Ze county magistrate was corrupt and broke the law. He embezzled 80 taels of disaster relief money and food from the embankment repair town. He also colluded with the ministers of the court and the central government to kill people. I hope that the emperor will clearly investigate this matter." I present that account book, hoping that my father can check it carefully.

But the royal father sat on it, motionless, and said slowly: "The prince has made a lot of contributions to the relief of the victims. I am tired after traveling for so many days. Go back and have a good rest. I will see your mother again some other day."

I looked up at my father, who was sitting firmly on the dragon throne, and I knew in my heart that between returning justice to the world and maintaining the stability of the court, my father chose the latter, at least it seemed that everyone was singing and dancing.

At the age when I don't know the heights of the sky, I thought that all the blood will be rewarded, so I said again: "Liu Xiangshi covers the eyes of the sky, and the voice of the people, and I hope the father will strictly investigate!"

Father threw the account books in front of him, and the corners of several of them just hit his head, and the books were stained with blood dripping.

The royal father patted the table in front of the memorial angrily, and shouted: "It's not your turn to teach Gu how to do it!" Then he slowed down: "You know that you killed more than just a magistrate of Yunmeng Ze This person, you are moving the foundation of the imperial court."

I felt wronged, and panicked, I knelt down: "I don't know. In the past, when I was studying, my teacher often said that the rule of a country should be based on the people, and corrupt officials are just moths in the grain pile. If you don't catch them all In the future, father is not afraid that the state of Qi is like a rotten ship in the wind and rain, without foreign enemies, he will break it first."

Father closed his eyes and said after a long time: "Go back."

No matter how ignorant I am, I will always wink and leave the palace as ordered, feeling depressed, walking alone in Chang'an City to relax.

I can't figure out why my father said that, and I can't even figure out what's wrong with me. Is it right for those who rely on themselves as officials to oppress the people?

Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and I, as the prince of Qi, are no exception.

Ever since the Yunmengze incident, my father and his son have been divorced, and my feet have been banned every three days.After the queen mother found out about this in the harem, she sighed a few times, but she couldn't do anything about it.

Defense by day and night, but also failed to prevent disasters from causing Xiaoqiang.

Brother Huang took advantage of the separation between father and son, joined forces with Liu Xiang, and drove me down from the crown prince.

But two months later, the father died of illness.Qi Rong and ascend the throne.

I looked up at the clouds floating in the sky, the cloud was still the same cloud, but it changed the world.

The first thing the new emperor did when he ascended the throne was to imprison the deposed prince. In order to show the emperor's benevolence, he specially built a big mansion and named me the king of Qin.In order to ensure that I would not be assassinated by Liu Xiangyi in a dream one night, or poisoned to death in the food, only two guards, Ning Feng and Xi Yu, who followed me since childhood, were left behind, and the rest of the cleaners and cooks were all driven away. , and gave me hundreds of guards to accompany me day and night.

The huge house fell silent in an instant.

It stands to reason that I should have received the favor by prostrating three times and kowtowing nine times, but as the last bit of integrity of the deposed prince, I hadn't washed up, drank strong wine, slumped on the steps and watched the fallen leaves rolled up by the autumn wind, and accepted the decree. kindness.

That night, I kicked Chen Moran out again.

I stayed in Prince Qin's mansion for two and a half years. During these two years, I watched the pear blossoms in the courtyard bloom and fall twice, and walked with me for hundreds of days and nights.The clothes on the hangers also became more and more inappropriate, and the clothes that were originally fit were hanging on the body like rags, losing their beauty.

In my free time, I caressed the Yaoqin that was forgotten in the corner, wiped off the dust on the piano, and it was still as new.Mo Ran forgot to bring it when she left the mansion, and she didn't know when she would meet and return it to him in person.

I looked up at the lush green bamboos in the courtyard, and suddenly felt cold, and I didn't know when the north wind picked up again, and I bent down and coughed for a while before I felt refreshed.

Han Jue turned her body to block the wind, I raised my head and said, "How is your sister Ruji?"

Han Jue looked as usual: "She is fine."

I smiled without any scruples: "You are going to be an uncle soon."

Han Jue quickly jumped onto the bed and lay down beside me. Now I dare not laugh: "Han Qing, what are you doing!"

Han Jue seemed to be under a curse, lying there motionless, blocking the north wind like a toppled jade mountain.

Sure enough, if there is the first time, there will be the second time.

After sleeping in my bed once, I think about the next time.

"Ning Feng..." Before the voice could be uttered, Han Jue covered my mouth with a bit of panic in his eyes.

Shouldn't it be me, the sick King Qin, who should be terrified?Shouldn't it be me who is sore and immobile who is afraid of seeing people?
