I don't want to be born again
Work related (4)
, a dull pain in the body.
Xie Lang gritted his teeth, so it was such a pain method?
Chu Qing's face was ashen, and he opened his hands to let Xie Lang serve him, but he began to think about King Rong in his heart.
In the first life, he fell into the hands of King Rong after all, but in his last life, he made things right and took care of King Rong.It's a pity that I was too self-confident that I spared King Rong's life, but in the end he and Beidi teamed up to trick me.
Of course, Xie Lang is indispensable here.
When Chu Qing thought of how Xie Lang had been concentrating on cheating himself for so many years, he felt a little twisted in his heart.
Xie Lang's words before his death in the previous life made him unable to let go of it over and over again, what do you mean, I was born with this identity, could it be my fault that I became the emperor?
It's worth your Xie Lang's nonsense, what do you mean by being so low in the dust?He's just a white-eyed wolf who can't get enough to eat, with a hard-hearted heart that can't be warmed up!
Lowering his head, Xie Lang was bending over to tie the jade belt around his waist again, when Chu Qing grabbed his hand and pushed him away violently.
Unprepared, Xie Lang was pushed staggeringly, stepped back a few steps, and stopped when his back hit the corner of the table.
He supported the table to stand firm, raised his head and looked at Chu Qing suspiciously: "Your Majesty?"
Chu Qing ignored him, didn't even cast a glance at him, and left the inner room with big strides.
Xie Lang felt severe pain in his waist, and when he reached out to touch it, he was hit by the sharp corner of the table and bled.
Sighing, Xie Lang supported his waist and slowly walked back to the bed, leaning sideways on the pillow, staring at the bright yellow embroidered crystal curtain that was still shaking at the door of the inner room.
Why did Chu Qing have such a hot and cold, capricious temperament in this life?
What did I miss, or did Chu Qing have doubts and concerns about him?
"My lord, the Zhenwan Pavilion has been tidied up, do you want to start now?"
Xie Lang's little boy Zhu'er came in from the outside, holding clothes and a small box in his hand, he glanced at Xie Lang and quickly lowered his head.
Xie Lang raised his hand, Zhu'er put down the things in his hand, and went forward to help him.
Seeing the bruises on Xie Lang's wrist, Zhu'er frowned: "My lord, you are injured."
Hearing this, Xie Lang lowered his eyes to look, only to realize that his wrists were indeed covered with bruises, he sighed, his physique is really easy to leave marks.
"It's fine." Xie Lang stood up and said, "Leave the clothes and ointment, you wait for me outside the hall. By the way, where is the emperor?"
"Just now, my servant watched the emperor take Rong Wang away, so this servant dared to come in." Zhu'er glanced at the messy dragon couch, and asked, "My lord, were you okay last night?"
Xie Lang glanced at him indifferently: "Zhu'er, what did I tell you before coming to Fairview City?"
Zhu'er's expression was serious, and he bowed his head and said: "You said, don't ask what you shouldn't ask. I know I'm wrong. Young master, I'll go out first, and I'll call my servant when you're done."
"Go." Xie Lang said, "From now on, you will be the only one by my side, usually listen more, watch more, talk less and do less."
"Yes." Zhu'er agreed and withdrew.
Xie Lang was the only one left in the inner room of the Baptist Hall. He turned his head to look at the Jiaofang Hall, which was exactly the same as in his previous life. The only difference was that in his previous life, Chu Qing treated him with care and tenderness. In the morning, he still carried himself to the bath room. He did not go to court early for the next three days.
Xie Lang thought about how he got along with Chu Qing in his previous life, maybe it was because he came back in this life that he came to Chu Qing's side three years earlier, so he found a different Chu Qing.
Xie Lang wiped the blood on the back of his waist and under his body with a handkerchief, then took out the ointment from the small box, and gently and tentatively applied it to the affected area.Although he had been prepared for a long time, the pain was real and made him restless.
After getting dressed, Xie Lang called Zhu'er in, and the two left the Jiaofang hall one after the other.
Winter in Xia Country is much warmer than that in Jinyu City in North Country. When Xie Lang walked out of Jiaofang Hall wearing a fox fur cloak, he couldn't help taking a deep breath of the cold air.
"At this time in the Northland, it should be snowing."
Zhu'er raised his head and looked at the sky: "Young master, it's cloudy, I'm afraid it's going to snow soon."
Xie Lang was startled, nodded slightly, and slowly walked away while holding Zhu'er's hand.
The eunuch in charge of Jiaofang Palace sent them all the way to the outside of the courtyard, Xie Lang personally stuffed a red envelope for him, thanked him, and then went to Zhenwan Pavilion.
Zhenwan Pavilion is a water pavilion built in the center of Xueyue Lake in the palace, connected only by a single-plank bridge.
Zhenwan Pavilion, Zhenwan Pavilion, Xie Lang looked at the three words at the gate of the courtyard, and smiled silently. In Chu Qing's heart, he was just a precious thing.
It was like this in the last life, and it is still like this in this life.
"My lord, you are back." An elderly eunuch walked out of Zhenwan Pavilion and greeted Xie Lang with a smile.
Xie Lang nodded: "Prince Rong entered the palace early this morning, but because of that slave?"
The old eunuch nodded: "The emperor seems to be planning to issue a reprimand, but I don't know why he has been holding back for the past few days. King Rong just entered the city last night. If he asks for an audience today, he must be pleading guilty."
Xie Lang frowned: "The emperor actually held back?"
"The old slave is also puzzled. It stands to reason that he has a temper like charcoal, and it is impossible to endure it until now." The old eunuch smacked his lips, "Could it be that he is already afraid of King Rong?"
19. A different little emperor
King Rong, who had been feared by Chu Qing for two lifetimes, was kneeling in the imperial study room. Although Chu Qing repeatedly asked him to get up, he still insisted on finishing his speech on his knees.
Chu Qing also knew that King Rong was a person who was particularly good at acting, since he was willing to act, then he would accompany him.
He simply stopped trying to persuade him, sat down on the soft couch, picked up the lotus seed lily porridge and ate it.
This is what he ordered when he left the Jiaofang Palace. I can't get rid of my anger, so I can only use diet therapy. Eat some lotus lily to clear my anger, and it is always better than nothing.
Regretted while eating, didn't eat the fat that was brought to my mouth last night, insisted on playing something exciting in the morning, but was disturbed by King Rong, so I had to drink porridge to clear my anger.
After Chu Qing finished eating the porridge, he threw the bowl and spoon on the table angrily. Grandma, he is in the prime of his youth, how can he bear this anger!
However, King Rong, who was kneeling at his feet, didn't know what Chu Qing was thinking. Seeing him getting angry for no reason, he couldn't help but tighten his heart. He secretly raised his head to look at Chu Qing, and his back straightened even more.
Although Chu Qing was impetuous, she keenly noticed the way King Rong was peeking at her, and sneered in her heart.This little uncle's goal in life from beginning to end is to kill himself, become a great treasure, and reach the pinnacle of life.
In the first life, he succeeded in usurping the throne, but after the mantis stalked the cicada and the oriole, he was killed by Xie Lang before he could even sit on the dragon chair for a day. Later, Xie Lang found himself in the cold palace.
It's a pity that he was one step too late, by that time he was already poisoned, even if Xie Lang got the antidote, there was no room for recovery.
Chu Qing sometimes wondered if Xie Lang hurriedly killed King Rong in that life, did it have anything to do with him?
But it's been so long, it's pointless to worry about it.
Looking down, King Rong was still swearing in clichés, Chu Qing smiled, stood up and helped King Rong up with both hands.
"Little Emperor, I always remember that when I was young, you took me to the imperial garden, and when hunting, you took me to sleep in the open for barbecue, and go boating and fishing on Yanqi Lake in Xinzi Mountain." Chu Qing showed a look of reminiscence, "I At that time, I felt that you were more affectionate than Royal Father."
King Rong was a little moved, raised his hand to touch the corner of his eyes with his sleeve, and sighed: "Your Majesty, what you say like that makes me feel ashamed!"
Chu Qing pulled King Rong to sit on the couch: "Little Emperor, your trip this time is also for the court's affairs. I have heard that you have worked very hard in Anyang. Since you are here, you will stay in the palace for lunch at noon. Shan, I will wash the dust for you."
King Rong said: "Your Majesty, the minister is here to plead guilty."
Chu Qing waved his hand: "I have said so much about the apology, I don't want to hear it anymore. Little Huangshu, I actually wanted to talk to you about other things a long time ago."
King Rong was stunned, and said in doubt: "Your Majesty, please tell me."
Chu Qing got up, took a booklet from the desk, and asked calmly, "Little Huangshu, what is a gift?"
King Rong got up, arched his hands, and said: "Rites, Ji Gang is the same. To determine relatives and estrangements, to resolve suspicions, to distinguish similarities and differences, to clarify right and wrong. It is said in "Li Qi" that loyalty and trust are the foundation of rituals; .No basis, no foundation, no writing, no way."
Chu Qing nodded: "Young Uncle Huang is so knowledgeable, I can't help myself. I think back then when you took part in the imperial examination in low clothes, you won the first prize in one fell swoop, and you rode a horse and paraded through the streets. What a sight!"
"Your Majesty, it's okay not to mention the old things." King Rong looked at Chu Qing's back, thinking with some doubts that the little emperor seemed a little different today from the past.
Chu Qing smiled slightly, without reasoning, turned around and spread out the booklet in his hand to King Rong, and said in a solemn voice: "Since the little emperor knows that the etiquette determines relatives, why can't I tell the distance?"
It was a memorial to invite the youngest son from the concubine to be crowned son. King Rong's heart sank, his eyes flickered slightly: "Your Majesty, I can explain this matter."
Chu Qing waved his hand: "Little Emperor Uncle, there is no need to explain anything. I asked you about etiquette just now, and I also read a sentence, the so-called do not exceed the superior, the minister does not kill the emperor, the humble does not surpass the noble, and the young does not bully the elder. Not to be close, not to be old, not to be too small, not to be obscene. All these eight are the scriptures of etiquette. What does little Huangshu think?"
King Rong's scalp was a little numb, but he still smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I understand."
"You don't understand." Chu Qing said earnestly, "In my opinion, the little emperor has a good intention. I know that you love Xiu'er and don't want to put too much pressure on him. You do this to let him take care of himself. From the people's point of view, this memorial of yours is spoiling concubines and destroying wives, and ruining respect and concubine. If you say I agree, what will the courtiers think of you, and how will they think of me? When the people of the world know it, how will they think of you? , what would you think of me? Little Huangshu, you just said, Li, Ji Gang too!"
King Rong raised his head to look at Chu Qing, his eyes flashed with surprise, and then he bowed his head respectfully and said: "Your Majesty's words, I am enlightened, I was confused before!"
Chu Qing gave him the memorial, and pulled him to sit on the bed: "Xiu'er's health is not good, and everyone knows it, but you are asking for a seal for Lun'er at this time, what do you think of Xiu'er? Shi, you are the dearest person in this world, little uncle, people tend to worry too much when they are sick, you don’t want a real white-haired person to send a black-haired person?”
King Rong looked at the ground without speaking.
Chu Qing said again: "In the final analysis, it is for your own good that I mentioned this matter to you at this moment. Little Huangshu, you have to understand."
King Rong stood up and bowed again: "Your Majesty has put in so much painstaking efforts, I am very grateful. This matter is due to my lack of thoughtfulness, which has caused Your Majesty trouble."
Chu Qing got up and supported King Rong: "Go back and deal with all the slaves in the mansion. As for the Sixi Squad, I will deal with it for you."
"Your Majesty, I don't blame the Sixi Squad."
"I know, but they don't know how to praise you. Your slave is your face. If you don't give you face, you don't give me face, right?"
20. Dream back
King Rong ate his lunch in the palace in aggrieved manner, and hurried back home.
Chu Qing ate wine at noon, and after reading the memorial, he felt a little overwhelmed, so he simply got up and leaned on the soft couch.
Who knew that when she closed her eyes, she immediately fell asleep.
"Your Majesty, it's time to get up."
When Xie Lang's voice came, Chu Qing was a little surprised, why did he come to the Imperial Study Room?
"Your Majesty, look, this is the minced ginseng chicken soup that I made for you. It has been simmered for two hours on a low fire! Come and taste it."
Chu Qing stood up hesitantly, still wanting to ask him why he came here without his own will, but suddenly saw another person in a bright yellow dragon robe grabbing Xie Lang's hand with a smile and pulling him Hug up.
The two embraced and kissed each other, Chu Qing stared at them blankly, that person, was he?
He remembered that before, he couldn't do without Xie Lang all the time.
Chu Qing raised his head again, and in the blink of an eye, he was already in a large hall. Xie Lang was wearing a long-sleeved gown with loose hair, and was kneeling at "my" feet.
"Your Majesty, if you want to kill or cut, I have no complaints."
"I" stared at Xie Lang with complicated eyes, and pulled him up: "Are you really the spy sent by the Northern Emperor?"
"Your Majesty, the subject will only have status in the future, Your Majesty's Young Master."
It's really interesting, Chu Qing watched coldly, no wonder the prime minister got seriously ill after finding out, and scolded himself as a fool.
Seeing the two hugging each other tightly, Chu Qing thought, the color grants the soul, probably it is her own.
At this time, Chu Qing already knew that he was dreaming, but he didn't know how to wake up, so he could only follow the dream one step further.
"Your Majesty, I'm late!" Xie Lang hugged a dying person, crying, "The antidote, why doesn't the antidote work!"
"A-Lang, I want to know why."
After saying this, that self spat out a mouthful of blood and died, and he could never hear Xie Lang's words again, nor could he see his look of despair.
But Chu Qing knew that what Xie Lang said was that I will avenge you, and I will kill all those who bully you!
At that time, he had just died, his soul left his body, and he heard Xie Lang's words before he was reborn.
Those who bully me, kill them all?
Chu Qing thought for a while, as if he really did this.
In the firewood room of Marquis Anle's mansion, Xie Lang hugged the inhuman Chu Qing and said, "I will kill all those who bully you, trust me!"
In the blink of an eye, Chu Qing suddenly found himself unable to move.
Turning his eyes, someone was cutting his body bit by bit with a knife. He lowered his head, only a skeleton of his leg was left, and the man walked around behind him with the knife.
But he didn't seem to be in pain, blood had flowed all over the ground, and the palm of his hand was nailed to the stake, Chu Qing blinked, Ling Chi was really not easy.
A cold light flashed, and Chu Qing was startled, he was going to die again!
"what!"
Chu Qing screamed and sat up suddenly, his face was pale and sweating profusely, which frightened the tree standing beside him.
"Grandpa, Long Live, are you all right?"
Shu Yi hurriedly stuffed the stove into Chu Qing's arms, then turned around and poured a cup of hot tea.
The aroma of tea was tangy, Chu Qing's eyes moved slightly, and he shook his head and said, "I'm not thirsty."
"Your Majesty, take a sip to keep you warm." Shu Yi insisted, "Your hands are very cold."
Chu Qing was still immersed in the dream just now, glanced at the teacup, didn't say anything, just took a few sips of tea with Shuyi's hand.
Shuyi touched the corners of his lips with a veil, and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, you have often had nightmares recently, do you want to call the imperial doctor to have a look?"
Chu Qing held the stove and shook his head: "I'm fine, don't go out and talk nonsense."
Shu Yi hastily lowered his head: "The slave will save it."
"Take everyone out, I want to be alone for a while."
Chu Qing's voice was a little deep, Shu Yi replied yes, put his coat on Chu Qing's shoulders, and quietly led the people back out.
Chu Qing sat on the couch silently, didn't move for a long time, and he wasn't thinking about anything, just staring blankly at the gloomy sky outside the window.
It has been nearly ten days since you came back, right?
Chu Qing counted the days, whether he could not avoid the old path of the previous two lifetimes.For ten days, he couldn't sleep well every night. The memories of those deaths in the previous two lifetimes were tearing at him all the time, and sometimes only by recalling the details of getting along with Xie Lang could he be slightly relieved.
However, behind Xie Lang's mask was the fact that he didn't want to see, and it was also his most tragic memory.
Chu Qing felt a tightness in his chest, he took a deep breath and let it out slowly.
Chu Qing turned over and fell to the ground, and beat his chest hard. Since he is back, he should do his best and wait for revenge in this life. He can't afford to let go of whatever he does. It's really worthless!
It's just Xie Lang, what are you afraid of?
King Rong doesn't have to worry, he was defeated by his subordinates in the last life, and he can't do anything this time.
As for the Northern Kingdom, Chu Qing thought about it carefully, but in fact the crux was still Xie Lang. As long as he had a plan, the Northern Kingdom did not have Xie Lang's inner support, would he really want to destroy the Great Xia again?
Hmph, it's not that easy!
Chu Qing felt that he was resurrected with full blood, and walked around the imperial study room twice excitedly, recalling the major events that happened in the previous two lives, while thinking about how to make some major events.
There was a knock on the door, Shu Yi pushed open the palace door, and was relieved to see that Chu Qing seemed to have returned to normal.
"Your Majesty, Lord Lu Silin from the Household Department has arrived."
21. Take a vote with the emperor
The news that Lu Silin was promoted by Chu Qing's court had already spread throughout the capital.
Of course, there are good and bad rumors, and the good must be that the emperor is bold and decisive in employing people.Well, to be able to do this kind of thing, it must be a foolish emperor who thinks out as soon as he thinks about it. For this kind of emperor, he can only be hehe.
Chu Qing was actually very curious about Lu Silin, because in his previous life, this person resigned from office, and it is said that he had established some kind of academy and became a great Confucianist in the world. I don't know what would happen if he continued to be an official.
"My minister Lu Silin sees the emperor, long live, long live, long live."
When Lu Silin entered the door, he saluted first, kowtowed his head in a proper manner, and then waited for Chu Qing to speak.
Chu Qing nodded: "Get up."
After Lu Silin thanked him, he stood with his head bowed, and Chu Qing stopped talking, but quietly drank his tea. He hadn't figured out how to use this Lu Silin yet.
Although it seems that this looks like a loyal minister, and he will definitely be promising in the future, but now, he can't be too obvious.
After a cup of tea, Lu Silin was already sweating slightly. He knew that this meeting would not be smooth sailing, and whether the emperor and himself had any confidence, so he was not impatient and just waited for the emperor to make a move.
Chu Qing put down the tea bowl, and then said slowly, "Lu Silin, right? I've read your scriptures, how sure are you about building dams along the Yellow River?"
Lu Silin was a little surprised that the emperor asked about political affairs, but he had studied the Yellow River for a while, so he was confident, so he didn't hesitate, and replied: "Your Majesty, I dare not say nothing, but I have something to say." I dare not say."
Chu Qing frowned slightly: "Why dare you, tongue twister?"
Lu Silin smiled: "Your Majesty, please pardon my innocence first."
"You are quite courageous." Chu Qing snorted coldly, "Dare to negotiate terms with me?"
Lu Silin's smile did not change, and he lowered his eyes and said: "Your Majesty can directly promote a humble official in the court. Although the outside rumors are mixed, the humble official thinks that your majesty has a gap in his chest and is a man of great wisdom. As the saying goes, there is no doubt in employing people. Your Majesty I summoned my minister today, I am ready to be a loyal minister, but a loyal minister is passionate, but after three years of turning green, if a person dies, he is full of ambition, and the other side is gone. The minister is just thinking , to save my life, in the future..."
He paused, Chu Qing raised his eyebrows: "What will you do in the future?"
Lu Silin looked up at Chu Qing, the smile on his face disappeared, he knelt in front of Chu Qing, and said solemnly: "In the future, I would like to be the sword in the hands of your Majesty, beheading traitors, or opening up territories. Minister, Heartbroken! For Great Xia, and for Your Majesty."
Chu Qing stared at Lu Silin for a long while, his face did not change, but he was not afraid, and looked at him.
Lu Silin was actually taking a gamble, and he was simply taking a risk if he wanted to vote with the emperor so bluntly.However, since he received the decree to meet with him, he has been weighing whether to advance or retreat.
After entering, I was bound to the emperor's chariot, just like I said, I was heartbroken, and there was no way out.
Back, Lu Silin shook his head in his heart, the emperor would not allow himself to retreat, Chu Qing, who has been on the throne for six years, has grown from an ignorant young man to the present, and seems to have a stable throne, but he has never had his own power in the court.
He did not shy away from promoting himself and reprimanding Mi Zhexiu at the court. This is good, and he has to follow it no matter what.
Chu Qing stared coldly at Lu Silin's face. Although he was a cowardly emperor, he was still an emperor after all, and he had been doing this job repeatedly for decades. When he looked at people coldly, that kind of Most people can't bear the aura of not being angry but powerful.
Lu Silin was on his back, but he couldn't back down at this time, he had to persevere to the end, he straightened his chest and looked back calmly.
Chu Qing suddenly smiled, Lu Silin was considered acquainted, and he did not pull him in vain, but...
"My knife is not easy to make. However, since you have such a big ambition, I promise you that whatever you want to say today is not guilty, okay?"
22. Waiting for the memorial of the third generation
"Your Majesty, the flooding of the Yellow River was not unique to the current dynasty, nor did it start after you ascended the throne. It can be said that it has existed since ancient times, but in this dynasty, it has been repeatedly treated to no avail. For this matter, I can only think of dredging and building embankments."
Lu Silin took a sneak peek at Chu Qing, and continued with a sigh of relief: "But if you want to ask me how sure you are, I'll tell you the truth, I'm not sure."
"Oh?" Chu Qing said lightly, "I'm not sure, you still submit the memorial, is this just for fame?"
"Your Majesty discusses the matter according to the facts. I can tell you that after the dam is built, it will be safe for three years. But the management of the Yellow River, Your Majesty, has never been based on the facts."
Chu Qing squinted his eyes, knowing that Lu Silin was going to get to the point, his slender fingers curled up slightly, he knew he was a little nervous, because what Lu Silin was about to say might really not sound good.
However, he was very curious about what Lu Silin would say. He was about to hear what Lu Silin had never had the chance to hear in the previous two lifetimes, which made Chu Qing a little inexplicably excited.
This is the beginning of his change of fate against the sky, right?
Bah, bah, bah, damn it!He is the Son of Heaven, whatever he does is right.
Yes, he just set things right and put everything back on track.
Chu Qing cheered herself up in her heart, not to be cowardly, but to hold on!
"Talk about it, don't talk about the facts, do you still have to get involved?"
Lu Silin smiled slightly: "What is involved and who is involved, His Majesty knows better than this minister."
Chu Qing snorted coldly: "Speak directly, I don't like to beat around the bush."
"Yes, Your Majesty, the Yellow River flows through the nine provinces and thirteen counties of Daxia, stretching for tens of thousands of miles. It is the lifeblood of Daxia. The imperial court spends a total of 10 taels for river control every year, ranging from 200 taels to [-] taels. Ten thousand taels. But Dingzhou, Zhuzhou, and Xuzhou have broken their embankments for three consecutive years. I believe that this involves not only local officials, but also the Water Transport Yamen, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, and even the elders of the cabinet."
"What kind of dragging method?"
"Your Majesty, the imperial court has a lot of abuses. It is greedy for money for river governance. It doesn't want to do its best when it is an official. It only knows how to please the superiors. The cabinet ministries are arguing about things."
Chu Qing slapped the desk with a palm: "Okay, Lu Silin! You've got what I've said, so let's start Huqin! Tell me clearly, how did I get into your mouth? Great Xia is about to perish!"
"Your Majesty calm down, I dare not!" Lu Silin quickly knelt down, kowtowed and confessed.
"Don't you dare? You're swearing so loudly! Let me ask you, did you witness the cabinet wrangling with your own eyes, or do you have any evidence to prove who is corrupt? Tell me, tell me!"
Lu Silin kept his mouth shut and did not speak, Chu Qing's face flushed red.
He really didn't expect it, Lu Silin really dared to say that every sentence was poking his lungs.Doesn't he know that there are these problems in the court, use his nonsense?If Lu Silin were to go out of the palace today as if nothing had happened, where would he put his face?
"Your Majesty, are you thinking about how to deal with the minister?" Lu Silin raised his head and asked softly.
"You're not stupid." Chu Qing glanced at him mockingly.
Lu Silin smiled: "Before I enter the palace, I have already made preparations."
"What have you prepared?"
"A thin coffin."
Chu Qing stood up abruptly, pointed at Lu Silin and circled: "You, you, are you going to piss me off?"
"The minister dare not, the minister bluntly said that he committed a crime, he deserves to die."
"I forgive you just now."
Lu Silin didn't speak, but gave Chu Qing a meaningful look.
Chu Qing lifted his leg and kicked him angrily: "Get out, get out!"
Lu Silin breathed a sigh of relief quietly, kowtowed to thank him, and ran away in a hurry.Who knew that as soon as he reached the door, Chu Qingzai spoke again.
"Wait!"
Lu Silin paused and turned around helplessly.
Chu Qing's tone was mocking: "It's not that easy to run away!"
"Your Majesty, I don't want to run away." Lu Silin said helplessly.
"Come here!"
"Your Majesty, please order." Lu Silin walked briskly to Chu Qing, and looked up at him.
Chu Qing sat leisurely on the rocking chair, as if the person who was furious just now was not him at all.
"I made a decree for you three days ago, and you prepared a coffin for yourself. You only thought about how to die, and nothing else?"
Lu Silin finally laughed, took out a memorial from his arms, knelt down and presented it to Chu Qing with both hands, his face was full of joy: "Your Majesty, I prepared three strategies for harnessing the river five years ago, and I present them to Your Majesty today. I wish With all your blood, pour the banks of the Yellow River, and you will rule the Yellow River in this life! Your Majesty, the minister said, I would like to be the sword in your Majesty's hand, to overcome thorns and thorns, and make an indelible achievement!"
Chu Qing took the memorial from him, and Lu Silin rearranged his clothes and kowtowed three times: "May your Majesty's grand plans and ambitions be realized in one day, may the Great Xia be prosperous and the people strong, and long-lasting peace and stability for thousands of years!"
However, what was not in harmony with Lu Silin's passion and generosity was that Chu Qing's eyes flickered slightly, and his expression was a little complicated.
I wrote it five years ago, but I just held my hands and refused to play it.Cursed in my heart, you are pregnant with a Nezha, this meeting should also make trouble!It's been covered for five years!
However, he also knew Lu Silin's ability. Almost all the students who walked out of his academy in the previous life were famous, and even a few of them were later capable ministers of river governance.
Chu Qing held the memorial, which he had waited for three lifetimes to get.The policy of governing the river, the policy of governing the country,
Could Lu Silin be that capable minister who he missed for two lifetimes?
23. These unbelievable legs...
After Lu Silin left, Chu Qingdao was not in a hurry to see that He Zhi He Ce, because it was time for dinner, he suddenly hesitated to see Xie Lang.
At the end of the day, I don't know what happened to him.Has he recovered? In the morning, he seemed to have hit the corner of the table, was he injured?Will he be unhappy if he just left like that?
"Your Majesty, where are you having dinner today?" Shu Yi asked cautiously, "Aunt Xi from Yaohua Palace just came over."
"Your concubine?" Chu Qing thought for a while, and said, "Forget it, it's not easy for me to take all these memorials with me, and set them up in the Qianyuan Palace. I don't want to take the imperial chariot and sedan chair, I want to go for a while. Walk."
Shu greeted the palace servants to come and pack the memorial, while he took two quick steps, took a velvet cloak and put it on Chu Qing, and followed him out of the imperial study.
After walking for a while, I arrived at the Imperial Garden before I knew it, and the Zhenwan Pavilion on Xueyue Lake was right in front of me.
Chu Qing stopped by the lake and looked at Zhenwan Pavilion quietly.
"Your Majesty, Qing Shaojun will be in Zhenwan Pavilion all day today."
"En." Chu Qing nodded, "Has there been an imperial doctor in Zhenwan Pavilion?"
Hearing that the tree said no, Chu Qing lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and then walked up the single-plank bridge of Zhenwan Pavilion.
The tree had no choice but to keep up, and said in his heart, Your Majesty, why bother to be duplicity?
Chu Qing himself was helpless, because he really couldn't control himself!These unbelievable legs, it's better to cut them off...
The door of Zhenwan Pavilion was tightly closed, as if strangers should not come near.
Chu Qing raised his hand and patted on the door, but no one came to answer for a long time.
Shu Yi handed the whisk to his left hand, and took a step forward to knock on the door, but was stopped by Chu Qing.
"never mind."
Chu Qing turned around, looked back at the gate of Zhenwan Pavilion, and wanted to go back, but his feet seemed to have taken root, and he just couldn't walk.
He was originally impatient, but when he met Xie Lang, he couldn't untie the knot in his previous two lives, so he kept entangled and repeated.
Suddenly feel like what are you doing?There is nothing to be afraid of!
Does a male concubine who has been accepted into the harem still have the ability to play tricks on herself?Chu Qing snorted coldly and slammed the door shut.
You open the door, you have the ability to harm me, you have the ability to open the door!You have the ability to harm me, you have the ability to open the door!
Chu Qing slapped the door loudly as if in a fit of anger, and the corner of Shu's mouth twitched as he watched, how painful this hand was.
But Chu Qing, if he stops him now, the evil fire will definitely spread on him. Shu Yi is very worried, if he ruined His Majesty's good deed earlier in the morning, why is he going to get into trouble now.
Moving his neck, Shu Yi felt that it was fine, he still liked his head very much, loyalty and so on, and it didn't care about such trivial matters.
Chu Qing slapped the door until his arms went numb, and finally came back to his senses, and stopped quickly.
He felt that his hand must be swollen, but there were many palace people standing behind him, if he was in pain now, there would really be nowhere to put his face!
With a sound of "Kang Dang", the door was pulled open from the inside, and Zhu'er looked at Chu Qing with astonishment: "Your Majesty?"
Chu Qing clenched her fists, grandma's, her hand hurts!
But before he could speak, Zhu'er suddenly turned around and ran towards the inside, shouting while running: "The emperor is here, the emperor is here! My son, the emperor is here!"
Zhu'er was too excited and hurried to report, but left Chu Qing alone.
Chu Qing stepped into the door, looked at the deserted courtyard, then turned to ask Shuyi: "Where are the people serving in Zhenwan Pavilion?"
Shu Yi looked around uncomfortably, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Qing Shaojun just entered the palace yesterday, I'm afraid the person arranged by the empress has not arrived yet."
Chu Qing sneered in her heart, the whole day today, the palace people still can't get to Zhenwan Pavilion?I'm afraid it's not that they can't go, but that no one asked them to come.
But he didn't point it out, just took a deep look at Shuyi, and said: "Now you ask someone to tell the Queen that Qing Shaojun is from the Northern Kingdom."
Shu Yi asked doubtfully, "Your Majesty, should you just say this one sentence?"
Chu Qing nodded: "Just say this, understand?"
The word "only" especially emphasizes the tone.
Shu Yi rolled his eyes, and immediately understood Chu Qing's meaning, and replied: "I understand, I will do it now, please rest assured, Your Majesty."
While speaking, Xie Lang hurried out holding Zhu'er's hand, saw Chu Qing, bowed down and said, "I don't know His Majesty is coming, I'm far away from welcoming you, Your Majesty please forgive me."
Chu Qing stretched out one hand to support Xie Lang's elbow, and exerted a slight upward force: "I passed by Xueyue Lake, thinking that you just lived here, I don't know if you are used to it, so I came to have a look. It disturbed your purity. .”
Xie Lang put one hand on Zhu'er's arm, got up with some difficulty, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, I don't like to be clean."
Chu Qing gave a "hmm" and said with a smile, "Then what do you like?"
Xie Lang raised his head and looked at Chu Qing with burning eyes. Although he didn't make a sound, his expression clearly said: I like you!
Chu Qing also immediately understood what he meant, coughed lightly, and didn't stop looking at him at first.
Xie Lang sighed lightly, and said: "I like the excitement of His Majesty."
The excitement is only lively with you, otherwise the excitement is just chaotic noise.Without you, no matter how lively it is, it will be deserted.
Chu Qing smiled, took Xie Lang's hand and said, "It's cold outside, young master, please come in and sit with me."
Xie Lang was led into the room by him, and his heart couldn't stop being filled with sweetness. In his last life, he liked to hold him like this, and he never let go of his hand.
Sitting down in the flower hall, Chu Qing felt that something was wrong, looked around, but couldn't tell what was wrong.
24. Silver charcoal
Zhu'er wanted to follow in, but Shu Yi grabbed his collar and pulled him out.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Zhu'er's feet were almost off the ground, and she blushed and said angrily.
The tree stepped forward and closed the door gently, and said to Zhu'er indifferently: "You don't need to serve inside, close the door and heat the hot water."
Zhu'er snorted, turned and ran away.Shu smiled wryly, this little guy from the north is quite imposing.
In the flower hall, Chu Qing sat in an armchair and looked around with his sleeves folded.
"Are you still used to it here?"
Xie Lang smiled: "Everything is fine, thank you Your Majesty for your concern."
Chu Qing nodded, didn't know what to say for a moment, just sat there for a while, then suddenly remembered, raised his head and stretched out his hand to Xie Lang: "Come here."
Xie Lang obediently walked over, his walking posture was a bit strange, but fortunately he was in front of Chu Qing in only two steps, he put his hand on Chu Qing's palm, and looked at him affectionately.
"Your Majesty, I have been thinking about you today."
Chu Qing nodded slightly: "I miss you too."
This was what he had in mind, not just today, ever since he came back, he hadn't stopped thinking about Xie Lang.
Xie Lang looked at Chu Qing with some surprise: "Is what His Majesty said true?"
When Chu Qing laughed, sometimes the corner of one lip would be raised high, looking a little sinister and naughty, like a bad-hearted brat, but it made people happy.
At this moment, he was smiling like this, which made Xie Lang a little dazed.
"Do you think I will lie to you?"
Xie Lang shook his head: "Chen, I don't know."
Chu Qing didn't change his smile, but exerted force on his hands. Xie Lang exclaimed and fell into his arms.
"I'll let you know." Chu Qing stared into his eyes and said softly, "Young Master, what we didn't finish this morning, do you want to continue now?"
Xie Lang's face immediately turned red, he put his hands on Chu Qing's chest, sat slantedly on his lap, twisted his waist and said, "Your Majesty, don't..."
Chu Qing didn't want to listen to what he had to say, so she picked him up, walked to the door of the inner room, and kicked the door open.
"Young Master, are you still shy?"
As soon as Chu Qing said something, he felt his nose sour, frowned slightly, and sneezed violently.
"Ah!"
Chu Qing had no choice but to put Xie Lang down, rubbed his nose with his hand, and said displeasedly, "Why is it so cold in this room? Why don't you put a charcoal basin?"
Xie Lang pulled Chu Qing out, and gave him the hand stove: "Your Majesty, wait for a while, and I will bring the charcoal basin in. Burn it for a while, and it will be warm inside."
"Bring it in?" Chu Qing's expression became even colder, "Is it possible that I am so poor that I need you to carry a charcoal basin here and there?"
After speaking, Chu Qing stood up, walked to the door, pushed it open and said angrily, "Shu Yi, get out of here!"
Shu Yiyuan was about to knock on the door with a teapot, but was startled by Chu Qing, his hands shook, and hot water poured out.
Zhu'er has quick hands and quick eyes, and took the teapot over calmly, avoiding Shu Yi's embarrassment.
Shu Yi didn't care about Zhu'er, and followed Chu Qing into the door.
"Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
"Order? I never said before, Zhenwan Pavilion is no better than other places, Qing Shaojun has just entered the palace, and I can't figure out everything, how did you reply to me?"
Shu Yi swallowed: "Slave, I will arrange everything when I return to Your Majesty."
"Everything you have arranged is just such a broken charcoal pot in this huge Zhenwan Pavilion!"
With a low voice, Chu Qing raised his foot and kicked over the charcoal basin on the ground. The hollowed-out bronze filigree charcoal basin jingled and rolled twice. The lid on it fell off, and black charcoal ash was scattered all over the ground.
Chu Qing said angrily: "Look for yourself what's in that charcoal basin!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down." Xie Lang persuaded, "Eunuch Shu has already tried his best to take care of us. It's me. In Jinyu City, the winter was much colder than here. I think a charcoal basin is enough."
Chu Qing snorted coldly: "Young Master, did I ask you something?"
Xie Lang quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, forgive me."
Chu Qing blinked, but still pulled him up: "If you think a charcoal basin is enough, why is the door of the inner room kept closed? Don't you think the outer room is
Xie Lang gritted his teeth, so it was such a pain method?
Chu Qing's face was ashen, and he opened his hands to let Xie Lang serve him, but he began to think about King Rong in his heart.
In the first life, he fell into the hands of King Rong after all, but in his last life, he made things right and took care of King Rong.It's a pity that I was too self-confident that I spared King Rong's life, but in the end he and Beidi teamed up to trick me.
Of course, Xie Lang is indispensable here.
When Chu Qing thought of how Xie Lang had been concentrating on cheating himself for so many years, he felt a little twisted in his heart.
Xie Lang's words before his death in the previous life made him unable to let go of it over and over again, what do you mean, I was born with this identity, could it be my fault that I became the emperor?
It's worth your Xie Lang's nonsense, what do you mean by being so low in the dust?He's just a white-eyed wolf who can't get enough to eat, with a hard-hearted heart that can't be warmed up!
Lowering his head, Xie Lang was bending over to tie the jade belt around his waist again, when Chu Qing grabbed his hand and pushed him away violently.
Unprepared, Xie Lang was pushed staggeringly, stepped back a few steps, and stopped when his back hit the corner of the table.
He supported the table to stand firm, raised his head and looked at Chu Qing suspiciously: "Your Majesty?"
Chu Qing ignored him, didn't even cast a glance at him, and left the inner room with big strides.
Xie Lang felt severe pain in his waist, and when he reached out to touch it, he was hit by the sharp corner of the table and bled.
Sighing, Xie Lang supported his waist and slowly walked back to the bed, leaning sideways on the pillow, staring at the bright yellow embroidered crystal curtain that was still shaking at the door of the inner room.
Why did Chu Qing have such a hot and cold, capricious temperament in this life?
What did I miss, or did Chu Qing have doubts and concerns about him?
"My lord, the Zhenwan Pavilion has been tidied up, do you want to start now?"
Xie Lang's little boy Zhu'er came in from the outside, holding clothes and a small box in his hand, he glanced at Xie Lang and quickly lowered his head.
Xie Lang raised his hand, Zhu'er put down the things in his hand, and went forward to help him.
Seeing the bruises on Xie Lang's wrist, Zhu'er frowned: "My lord, you are injured."
Hearing this, Xie Lang lowered his eyes to look, only to realize that his wrists were indeed covered with bruises, he sighed, his physique is really easy to leave marks.
"It's fine." Xie Lang stood up and said, "Leave the clothes and ointment, you wait for me outside the hall. By the way, where is the emperor?"
"Just now, my servant watched the emperor take Rong Wang away, so this servant dared to come in." Zhu'er glanced at the messy dragon couch, and asked, "My lord, were you okay last night?"
Xie Lang glanced at him indifferently: "Zhu'er, what did I tell you before coming to Fairview City?"
Zhu'er's expression was serious, and he bowed his head and said: "You said, don't ask what you shouldn't ask. I know I'm wrong. Young master, I'll go out first, and I'll call my servant when you're done."
"Go." Xie Lang said, "From now on, you will be the only one by my side, usually listen more, watch more, talk less and do less."
"Yes." Zhu'er agreed and withdrew.
Xie Lang was the only one left in the inner room of the Baptist Hall. He turned his head to look at the Jiaofang Hall, which was exactly the same as in his previous life. The only difference was that in his previous life, Chu Qing treated him with care and tenderness. In the morning, he still carried himself to the bath room. He did not go to court early for the next three days.
Xie Lang thought about how he got along with Chu Qing in his previous life, maybe it was because he came back in this life that he came to Chu Qing's side three years earlier, so he found a different Chu Qing.
Xie Lang wiped the blood on the back of his waist and under his body with a handkerchief, then took out the ointment from the small box, and gently and tentatively applied it to the affected area.Although he had been prepared for a long time, the pain was real and made him restless.
After getting dressed, Xie Lang called Zhu'er in, and the two left the Jiaofang hall one after the other.
Winter in Xia Country is much warmer than that in Jinyu City in North Country. When Xie Lang walked out of Jiaofang Hall wearing a fox fur cloak, he couldn't help taking a deep breath of the cold air.
"At this time in the Northland, it should be snowing."
Zhu'er raised his head and looked at the sky: "Young master, it's cloudy, I'm afraid it's going to snow soon."
Xie Lang was startled, nodded slightly, and slowly walked away while holding Zhu'er's hand.
The eunuch in charge of Jiaofang Palace sent them all the way to the outside of the courtyard, Xie Lang personally stuffed a red envelope for him, thanked him, and then went to Zhenwan Pavilion.
Zhenwan Pavilion is a water pavilion built in the center of Xueyue Lake in the palace, connected only by a single-plank bridge.
Zhenwan Pavilion, Zhenwan Pavilion, Xie Lang looked at the three words at the gate of the courtyard, and smiled silently. In Chu Qing's heart, he was just a precious thing.
It was like this in the last life, and it is still like this in this life.
"My lord, you are back." An elderly eunuch walked out of Zhenwan Pavilion and greeted Xie Lang with a smile.
Xie Lang nodded: "Prince Rong entered the palace early this morning, but because of that slave?"
The old eunuch nodded: "The emperor seems to be planning to issue a reprimand, but I don't know why he has been holding back for the past few days. King Rong just entered the city last night. If he asks for an audience today, he must be pleading guilty."
Xie Lang frowned: "The emperor actually held back?"
"The old slave is also puzzled. It stands to reason that he has a temper like charcoal, and it is impossible to endure it until now." The old eunuch smacked his lips, "Could it be that he is already afraid of King Rong?"
19. A different little emperor
King Rong, who had been feared by Chu Qing for two lifetimes, was kneeling in the imperial study room. Although Chu Qing repeatedly asked him to get up, he still insisted on finishing his speech on his knees.
Chu Qing also knew that King Rong was a person who was particularly good at acting, since he was willing to act, then he would accompany him.
He simply stopped trying to persuade him, sat down on the soft couch, picked up the lotus seed lily porridge and ate it.
This is what he ordered when he left the Jiaofang Palace. I can't get rid of my anger, so I can only use diet therapy. Eat some lotus lily to clear my anger, and it is always better than nothing.
Regretted while eating, didn't eat the fat that was brought to my mouth last night, insisted on playing something exciting in the morning, but was disturbed by King Rong, so I had to drink porridge to clear my anger.
After Chu Qing finished eating the porridge, he threw the bowl and spoon on the table angrily. Grandma, he is in the prime of his youth, how can he bear this anger!
However, King Rong, who was kneeling at his feet, didn't know what Chu Qing was thinking. Seeing him getting angry for no reason, he couldn't help but tighten his heart. He secretly raised his head to look at Chu Qing, and his back straightened even more.
Although Chu Qing was impetuous, she keenly noticed the way King Rong was peeking at her, and sneered in her heart.This little uncle's goal in life from beginning to end is to kill himself, become a great treasure, and reach the pinnacle of life.
In the first life, he succeeded in usurping the throne, but after the mantis stalked the cicada and the oriole, he was killed by Xie Lang before he could even sit on the dragon chair for a day. Later, Xie Lang found himself in the cold palace.
It's a pity that he was one step too late, by that time he was already poisoned, even if Xie Lang got the antidote, there was no room for recovery.
Chu Qing sometimes wondered if Xie Lang hurriedly killed King Rong in that life, did it have anything to do with him?
But it's been so long, it's pointless to worry about it.
Looking down, King Rong was still swearing in clichés, Chu Qing smiled, stood up and helped King Rong up with both hands.
"Little Emperor, I always remember that when I was young, you took me to the imperial garden, and when hunting, you took me to sleep in the open for barbecue, and go boating and fishing on Yanqi Lake in Xinzi Mountain." Chu Qing showed a look of reminiscence, "I At that time, I felt that you were more affectionate than Royal Father."
King Rong was a little moved, raised his hand to touch the corner of his eyes with his sleeve, and sighed: "Your Majesty, what you say like that makes me feel ashamed!"
Chu Qing pulled King Rong to sit on the couch: "Little Emperor, your trip this time is also for the court's affairs. I have heard that you have worked very hard in Anyang. Since you are here, you will stay in the palace for lunch at noon. Shan, I will wash the dust for you."
King Rong said: "Your Majesty, the minister is here to plead guilty."
Chu Qing waved his hand: "I have said so much about the apology, I don't want to hear it anymore. Little Huangshu, I actually wanted to talk to you about other things a long time ago."
King Rong was stunned, and said in doubt: "Your Majesty, please tell me."
Chu Qing got up, took a booklet from the desk, and asked calmly, "Little Huangshu, what is a gift?"
King Rong got up, arched his hands, and said: "Rites, Ji Gang is the same. To determine relatives and estrangements, to resolve suspicions, to distinguish similarities and differences, to clarify right and wrong. It is said in "Li Qi" that loyalty and trust are the foundation of rituals; .No basis, no foundation, no writing, no way."
Chu Qing nodded: "Young Uncle Huang is so knowledgeable, I can't help myself. I think back then when you took part in the imperial examination in low clothes, you won the first prize in one fell swoop, and you rode a horse and paraded through the streets. What a sight!"
"Your Majesty, it's okay not to mention the old things." King Rong looked at Chu Qing's back, thinking with some doubts that the little emperor seemed a little different today from the past.
Chu Qing smiled slightly, without reasoning, turned around and spread out the booklet in his hand to King Rong, and said in a solemn voice: "Since the little emperor knows that the etiquette determines relatives, why can't I tell the distance?"
It was a memorial to invite the youngest son from the concubine to be crowned son. King Rong's heart sank, his eyes flickered slightly: "Your Majesty, I can explain this matter."
Chu Qing waved his hand: "Little Emperor Uncle, there is no need to explain anything. I asked you about etiquette just now, and I also read a sentence, the so-called do not exceed the superior, the minister does not kill the emperor, the humble does not surpass the noble, and the young does not bully the elder. Not to be close, not to be old, not to be too small, not to be obscene. All these eight are the scriptures of etiquette. What does little Huangshu think?"
King Rong's scalp was a little numb, but he still smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I understand."
"You don't understand." Chu Qing said earnestly, "In my opinion, the little emperor has a good intention. I know that you love Xiu'er and don't want to put too much pressure on him. You do this to let him take care of himself. From the people's point of view, this memorial of yours is spoiling concubines and destroying wives, and ruining respect and concubine. If you say I agree, what will the courtiers think of you, and how will they think of me? When the people of the world know it, how will they think of you? , what would you think of me? Little Huangshu, you just said, Li, Ji Gang too!"
King Rong raised his head to look at Chu Qing, his eyes flashed with surprise, and then he bowed his head respectfully and said: "Your Majesty's words, I am enlightened, I was confused before!"
Chu Qing gave him the memorial, and pulled him to sit on the bed: "Xiu'er's health is not good, and everyone knows it, but you are asking for a seal for Lun'er at this time, what do you think of Xiu'er? Shi, you are the dearest person in this world, little uncle, people tend to worry too much when they are sick, you don’t want a real white-haired person to send a black-haired person?”
King Rong looked at the ground without speaking.
Chu Qing said again: "In the final analysis, it is for your own good that I mentioned this matter to you at this moment. Little Huangshu, you have to understand."
King Rong stood up and bowed again: "Your Majesty has put in so much painstaking efforts, I am very grateful. This matter is due to my lack of thoughtfulness, which has caused Your Majesty trouble."
Chu Qing got up and supported King Rong: "Go back and deal with all the slaves in the mansion. As for the Sixi Squad, I will deal with it for you."
"Your Majesty, I don't blame the Sixi Squad."
"I know, but they don't know how to praise you. Your slave is your face. If you don't give you face, you don't give me face, right?"
20. Dream back
King Rong ate his lunch in the palace in aggrieved manner, and hurried back home.
Chu Qing ate wine at noon, and after reading the memorial, he felt a little overwhelmed, so he simply got up and leaned on the soft couch.
Who knew that when she closed her eyes, she immediately fell asleep.
"Your Majesty, it's time to get up."
When Xie Lang's voice came, Chu Qing was a little surprised, why did he come to the Imperial Study Room?
"Your Majesty, look, this is the minced ginseng chicken soup that I made for you. It has been simmered for two hours on a low fire! Come and taste it."
Chu Qing stood up hesitantly, still wanting to ask him why he came here without his own will, but suddenly saw another person in a bright yellow dragon robe grabbing Xie Lang's hand with a smile and pulling him Hug up.
The two embraced and kissed each other, Chu Qing stared at them blankly, that person, was he?
He remembered that before, he couldn't do without Xie Lang all the time.
Chu Qing raised his head again, and in the blink of an eye, he was already in a large hall. Xie Lang was wearing a long-sleeved gown with loose hair, and was kneeling at "my" feet.
"Your Majesty, if you want to kill or cut, I have no complaints."
"I" stared at Xie Lang with complicated eyes, and pulled him up: "Are you really the spy sent by the Northern Emperor?"
"Your Majesty, the subject will only have status in the future, Your Majesty's Young Master."
It's really interesting, Chu Qing watched coldly, no wonder the prime minister got seriously ill after finding out, and scolded himself as a fool.
Seeing the two hugging each other tightly, Chu Qing thought, the color grants the soul, probably it is her own.
At this time, Chu Qing already knew that he was dreaming, but he didn't know how to wake up, so he could only follow the dream one step further.
"Your Majesty, I'm late!" Xie Lang hugged a dying person, crying, "The antidote, why doesn't the antidote work!"
"A-Lang, I want to know why."
After saying this, that self spat out a mouthful of blood and died, and he could never hear Xie Lang's words again, nor could he see his look of despair.
But Chu Qing knew that what Xie Lang said was that I will avenge you, and I will kill all those who bully you!
At that time, he had just died, his soul left his body, and he heard Xie Lang's words before he was reborn.
Those who bully me, kill them all?
Chu Qing thought for a while, as if he really did this.
In the firewood room of Marquis Anle's mansion, Xie Lang hugged the inhuman Chu Qing and said, "I will kill all those who bully you, trust me!"
In the blink of an eye, Chu Qing suddenly found himself unable to move.
Turning his eyes, someone was cutting his body bit by bit with a knife. He lowered his head, only a skeleton of his leg was left, and the man walked around behind him with the knife.
But he didn't seem to be in pain, blood had flowed all over the ground, and the palm of his hand was nailed to the stake, Chu Qing blinked, Ling Chi was really not easy.
A cold light flashed, and Chu Qing was startled, he was going to die again!
"what!"
Chu Qing screamed and sat up suddenly, his face was pale and sweating profusely, which frightened the tree standing beside him.
"Grandpa, Long Live, are you all right?"
Shu Yi hurriedly stuffed the stove into Chu Qing's arms, then turned around and poured a cup of hot tea.
The aroma of tea was tangy, Chu Qing's eyes moved slightly, and he shook his head and said, "I'm not thirsty."
"Your Majesty, take a sip to keep you warm." Shu Yi insisted, "Your hands are very cold."
Chu Qing was still immersed in the dream just now, glanced at the teacup, didn't say anything, just took a few sips of tea with Shuyi's hand.
Shuyi touched the corners of his lips with a veil, and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, you have often had nightmares recently, do you want to call the imperial doctor to have a look?"
Chu Qing held the stove and shook his head: "I'm fine, don't go out and talk nonsense."
Shu Yi hastily lowered his head: "The slave will save it."
"Take everyone out, I want to be alone for a while."
Chu Qing's voice was a little deep, Shu Yi replied yes, put his coat on Chu Qing's shoulders, and quietly led the people back out.
Chu Qing sat on the couch silently, didn't move for a long time, and he wasn't thinking about anything, just staring blankly at the gloomy sky outside the window.
It has been nearly ten days since you came back, right?
Chu Qing counted the days, whether he could not avoid the old path of the previous two lifetimes.For ten days, he couldn't sleep well every night. The memories of those deaths in the previous two lifetimes were tearing at him all the time, and sometimes only by recalling the details of getting along with Xie Lang could he be slightly relieved.
However, behind Xie Lang's mask was the fact that he didn't want to see, and it was also his most tragic memory.
Chu Qing felt a tightness in his chest, he took a deep breath and let it out slowly.
Chu Qing turned over and fell to the ground, and beat his chest hard. Since he is back, he should do his best and wait for revenge in this life. He can't afford to let go of whatever he does. It's really worthless!
It's just Xie Lang, what are you afraid of?
King Rong doesn't have to worry, he was defeated by his subordinates in the last life, and he can't do anything this time.
As for the Northern Kingdom, Chu Qing thought about it carefully, but in fact the crux was still Xie Lang. As long as he had a plan, the Northern Kingdom did not have Xie Lang's inner support, would he really want to destroy the Great Xia again?
Hmph, it's not that easy!
Chu Qing felt that he was resurrected with full blood, and walked around the imperial study room twice excitedly, recalling the major events that happened in the previous two lives, while thinking about how to make some major events.
There was a knock on the door, Shu Yi pushed open the palace door, and was relieved to see that Chu Qing seemed to have returned to normal.
"Your Majesty, Lord Lu Silin from the Household Department has arrived."
21. Take a vote with the emperor
The news that Lu Silin was promoted by Chu Qing's court had already spread throughout the capital.
Of course, there are good and bad rumors, and the good must be that the emperor is bold and decisive in employing people.Well, to be able to do this kind of thing, it must be a foolish emperor who thinks out as soon as he thinks about it. For this kind of emperor, he can only be hehe.
Chu Qing was actually very curious about Lu Silin, because in his previous life, this person resigned from office, and it is said that he had established some kind of academy and became a great Confucianist in the world. I don't know what would happen if he continued to be an official.
"My minister Lu Silin sees the emperor, long live, long live, long live."
When Lu Silin entered the door, he saluted first, kowtowed his head in a proper manner, and then waited for Chu Qing to speak.
Chu Qing nodded: "Get up."
After Lu Silin thanked him, he stood with his head bowed, and Chu Qing stopped talking, but quietly drank his tea. He hadn't figured out how to use this Lu Silin yet.
Although it seems that this looks like a loyal minister, and he will definitely be promising in the future, but now, he can't be too obvious.
After a cup of tea, Lu Silin was already sweating slightly. He knew that this meeting would not be smooth sailing, and whether the emperor and himself had any confidence, so he was not impatient and just waited for the emperor to make a move.
Chu Qing put down the tea bowl, and then said slowly, "Lu Silin, right? I've read your scriptures, how sure are you about building dams along the Yellow River?"
Lu Silin was a little surprised that the emperor asked about political affairs, but he had studied the Yellow River for a while, so he was confident, so he didn't hesitate, and replied: "Your Majesty, I dare not say nothing, but I have something to say." I dare not say."
Chu Qing frowned slightly: "Why dare you, tongue twister?"
Lu Silin smiled: "Your Majesty, please pardon my innocence first."
"You are quite courageous." Chu Qing snorted coldly, "Dare to negotiate terms with me?"
Lu Silin's smile did not change, and he lowered his eyes and said: "Your Majesty can directly promote a humble official in the court. Although the outside rumors are mixed, the humble official thinks that your majesty has a gap in his chest and is a man of great wisdom. As the saying goes, there is no doubt in employing people. Your Majesty I summoned my minister today, I am ready to be a loyal minister, but a loyal minister is passionate, but after three years of turning green, if a person dies, he is full of ambition, and the other side is gone. The minister is just thinking , to save my life, in the future..."
He paused, Chu Qing raised his eyebrows: "What will you do in the future?"
Lu Silin looked up at Chu Qing, the smile on his face disappeared, he knelt in front of Chu Qing, and said solemnly: "In the future, I would like to be the sword in the hands of your Majesty, beheading traitors, or opening up territories. Minister, Heartbroken! For Great Xia, and for Your Majesty."
Chu Qing stared at Lu Silin for a long while, his face did not change, but he was not afraid, and looked at him.
Lu Silin was actually taking a gamble, and he was simply taking a risk if he wanted to vote with the emperor so bluntly.However, since he received the decree to meet with him, he has been weighing whether to advance or retreat.
After entering, I was bound to the emperor's chariot, just like I said, I was heartbroken, and there was no way out.
Back, Lu Silin shook his head in his heart, the emperor would not allow himself to retreat, Chu Qing, who has been on the throne for six years, has grown from an ignorant young man to the present, and seems to have a stable throne, but he has never had his own power in the court.
He did not shy away from promoting himself and reprimanding Mi Zhexiu at the court. This is good, and he has to follow it no matter what.
Chu Qing stared coldly at Lu Silin's face. Although he was a cowardly emperor, he was still an emperor after all, and he had been doing this job repeatedly for decades. When he looked at people coldly, that kind of Most people can't bear the aura of not being angry but powerful.
Lu Silin was on his back, but he couldn't back down at this time, he had to persevere to the end, he straightened his chest and looked back calmly.
Chu Qing suddenly smiled, Lu Silin was considered acquainted, and he did not pull him in vain, but...
"My knife is not easy to make. However, since you have such a big ambition, I promise you that whatever you want to say today is not guilty, okay?"
22. Waiting for the memorial of the third generation
"Your Majesty, the flooding of the Yellow River was not unique to the current dynasty, nor did it start after you ascended the throne. It can be said that it has existed since ancient times, but in this dynasty, it has been repeatedly treated to no avail. For this matter, I can only think of dredging and building embankments."
Lu Silin took a sneak peek at Chu Qing, and continued with a sigh of relief: "But if you want to ask me how sure you are, I'll tell you the truth, I'm not sure."
"Oh?" Chu Qing said lightly, "I'm not sure, you still submit the memorial, is this just for fame?"
"Your Majesty discusses the matter according to the facts. I can tell you that after the dam is built, it will be safe for three years. But the management of the Yellow River, Your Majesty, has never been based on the facts."
Chu Qing squinted his eyes, knowing that Lu Silin was going to get to the point, his slender fingers curled up slightly, he knew he was a little nervous, because what Lu Silin was about to say might really not sound good.
However, he was very curious about what Lu Silin would say. He was about to hear what Lu Silin had never had the chance to hear in the previous two lifetimes, which made Chu Qing a little inexplicably excited.
This is the beginning of his change of fate against the sky, right?
Bah, bah, bah, damn it!He is the Son of Heaven, whatever he does is right.
Yes, he just set things right and put everything back on track.
Chu Qing cheered herself up in her heart, not to be cowardly, but to hold on!
"Talk about it, don't talk about the facts, do you still have to get involved?"
Lu Silin smiled slightly: "What is involved and who is involved, His Majesty knows better than this minister."
Chu Qing snorted coldly: "Speak directly, I don't like to beat around the bush."
"Yes, Your Majesty, the Yellow River flows through the nine provinces and thirteen counties of Daxia, stretching for tens of thousands of miles. It is the lifeblood of Daxia. The imperial court spends a total of 10 taels for river control every year, ranging from 200 taels to [-] taels. Ten thousand taels. But Dingzhou, Zhuzhou, and Xuzhou have broken their embankments for three consecutive years. I believe that this involves not only local officials, but also the Water Transport Yamen, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, and even the elders of the cabinet."
"What kind of dragging method?"
"Your Majesty, the imperial court has a lot of abuses. It is greedy for money for river governance. It doesn't want to do its best when it is an official. It only knows how to please the superiors. The cabinet ministries are arguing about things."
Chu Qing slapped the desk with a palm: "Okay, Lu Silin! You've got what I've said, so let's start Huqin! Tell me clearly, how did I get into your mouth? Great Xia is about to perish!"
"Your Majesty calm down, I dare not!" Lu Silin quickly knelt down, kowtowed and confessed.
"Don't you dare? You're swearing so loudly! Let me ask you, did you witness the cabinet wrangling with your own eyes, or do you have any evidence to prove who is corrupt? Tell me, tell me!"
Lu Silin kept his mouth shut and did not speak, Chu Qing's face flushed red.
He really didn't expect it, Lu Silin really dared to say that every sentence was poking his lungs.Doesn't he know that there are these problems in the court, use his nonsense?If Lu Silin were to go out of the palace today as if nothing had happened, where would he put his face?
"Your Majesty, are you thinking about how to deal with the minister?" Lu Silin raised his head and asked softly.
"You're not stupid." Chu Qing glanced at him mockingly.
Lu Silin smiled: "Before I enter the palace, I have already made preparations."
"What have you prepared?"
"A thin coffin."
Chu Qing stood up abruptly, pointed at Lu Silin and circled: "You, you, are you going to piss me off?"
"The minister dare not, the minister bluntly said that he committed a crime, he deserves to die."
"I forgive you just now."
Lu Silin didn't speak, but gave Chu Qing a meaningful look.
Chu Qing lifted his leg and kicked him angrily: "Get out, get out!"
Lu Silin breathed a sigh of relief quietly, kowtowed to thank him, and ran away in a hurry.Who knew that as soon as he reached the door, Chu Qingzai spoke again.
"Wait!"
Lu Silin paused and turned around helplessly.
Chu Qing's tone was mocking: "It's not that easy to run away!"
"Your Majesty, I don't want to run away." Lu Silin said helplessly.
"Come here!"
"Your Majesty, please order." Lu Silin walked briskly to Chu Qing, and looked up at him.
Chu Qing sat leisurely on the rocking chair, as if the person who was furious just now was not him at all.
"I made a decree for you three days ago, and you prepared a coffin for yourself. You only thought about how to die, and nothing else?"
Lu Silin finally laughed, took out a memorial from his arms, knelt down and presented it to Chu Qing with both hands, his face was full of joy: "Your Majesty, I prepared three strategies for harnessing the river five years ago, and I present them to Your Majesty today. I wish With all your blood, pour the banks of the Yellow River, and you will rule the Yellow River in this life! Your Majesty, the minister said, I would like to be the sword in your Majesty's hand, to overcome thorns and thorns, and make an indelible achievement!"
Chu Qing took the memorial from him, and Lu Silin rearranged his clothes and kowtowed three times: "May your Majesty's grand plans and ambitions be realized in one day, may the Great Xia be prosperous and the people strong, and long-lasting peace and stability for thousands of years!"
However, what was not in harmony with Lu Silin's passion and generosity was that Chu Qing's eyes flickered slightly, and his expression was a little complicated.
I wrote it five years ago, but I just held my hands and refused to play it.Cursed in my heart, you are pregnant with a Nezha, this meeting should also make trouble!It's been covered for five years!
However, he also knew Lu Silin's ability. Almost all the students who walked out of his academy in the previous life were famous, and even a few of them were later capable ministers of river governance.
Chu Qing held the memorial, which he had waited for three lifetimes to get.The policy of governing the river, the policy of governing the country,
Could Lu Silin be that capable minister who he missed for two lifetimes?
23. These unbelievable legs...
After Lu Silin left, Chu Qingdao was not in a hurry to see that He Zhi He Ce, because it was time for dinner, he suddenly hesitated to see Xie Lang.
At the end of the day, I don't know what happened to him.Has he recovered? In the morning, he seemed to have hit the corner of the table, was he injured?Will he be unhappy if he just left like that?
"Your Majesty, where are you having dinner today?" Shu Yi asked cautiously, "Aunt Xi from Yaohua Palace just came over."
"Your concubine?" Chu Qing thought for a while, and said, "Forget it, it's not easy for me to take all these memorials with me, and set them up in the Qianyuan Palace. I don't want to take the imperial chariot and sedan chair, I want to go for a while. Walk."
Shu greeted the palace servants to come and pack the memorial, while he took two quick steps, took a velvet cloak and put it on Chu Qing, and followed him out of the imperial study.
After walking for a while, I arrived at the Imperial Garden before I knew it, and the Zhenwan Pavilion on Xueyue Lake was right in front of me.
Chu Qing stopped by the lake and looked at Zhenwan Pavilion quietly.
"Your Majesty, Qing Shaojun will be in Zhenwan Pavilion all day today."
"En." Chu Qing nodded, "Has there been an imperial doctor in Zhenwan Pavilion?"
Hearing that the tree said no, Chu Qing lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and then walked up the single-plank bridge of Zhenwan Pavilion.
The tree had no choice but to keep up, and said in his heart, Your Majesty, why bother to be duplicity?
Chu Qing himself was helpless, because he really couldn't control himself!These unbelievable legs, it's better to cut them off...
The door of Zhenwan Pavilion was tightly closed, as if strangers should not come near.
Chu Qing raised his hand and patted on the door, but no one came to answer for a long time.
Shu Yi handed the whisk to his left hand, and took a step forward to knock on the door, but was stopped by Chu Qing.
"never mind."
Chu Qing turned around, looked back at the gate of Zhenwan Pavilion, and wanted to go back, but his feet seemed to have taken root, and he just couldn't walk.
He was originally impatient, but when he met Xie Lang, he couldn't untie the knot in his previous two lives, so he kept entangled and repeated.
Suddenly feel like what are you doing?There is nothing to be afraid of!
Does a male concubine who has been accepted into the harem still have the ability to play tricks on herself?Chu Qing snorted coldly and slammed the door shut.
You open the door, you have the ability to harm me, you have the ability to open the door!You have the ability to harm me, you have the ability to open the door!
Chu Qing slapped the door loudly as if in a fit of anger, and the corner of Shu's mouth twitched as he watched, how painful this hand was.
But Chu Qing, if he stops him now, the evil fire will definitely spread on him. Shu Yi is very worried, if he ruined His Majesty's good deed earlier in the morning, why is he going to get into trouble now.
Moving his neck, Shu Yi felt that it was fine, he still liked his head very much, loyalty and so on, and it didn't care about such trivial matters.
Chu Qing slapped the door until his arms went numb, and finally came back to his senses, and stopped quickly.
He felt that his hand must be swollen, but there were many palace people standing behind him, if he was in pain now, there would really be nowhere to put his face!
With a sound of "Kang Dang", the door was pulled open from the inside, and Zhu'er looked at Chu Qing with astonishment: "Your Majesty?"
Chu Qing clenched her fists, grandma's, her hand hurts!
But before he could speak, Zhu'er suddenly turned around and ran towards the inside, shouting while running: "The emperor is here, the emperor is here! My son, the emperor is here!"
Zhu'er was too excited and hurried to report, but left Chu Qing alone.
Chu Qing stepped into the door, looked at the deserted courtyard, then turned to ask Shuyi: "Where are the people serving in Zhenwan Pavilion?"
Shu Yi looked around uncomfortably, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Qing Shaojun just entered the palace yesterday, I'm afraid the person arranged by the empress has not arrived yet."
Chu Qing sneered in her heart, the whole day today, the palace people still can't get to Zhenwan Pavilion?I'm afraid it's not that they can't go, but that no one asked them to come.
But he didn't point it out, just took a deep look at Shuyi, and said: "Now you ask someone to tell the Queen that Qing Shaojun is from the Northern Kingdom."
Shu Yi asked doubtfully, "Your Majesty, should you just say this one sentence?"
Chu Qing nodded: "Just say this, understand?"
The word "only" especially emphasizes the tone.
Shu Yi rolled his eyes, and immediately understood Chu Qing's meaning, and replied: "I understand, I will do it now, please rest assured, Your Majesty."
While speaking, Xie Lang hurried out holding Zhu'er's hand, saw Chu Qing, bowed down and said, "I don't know His Majesty is coming, I'm far away from welcoming you, Your Majesty please forgive me."
Chu Qing stretched out one hand to support Xie Lang's elbow, and exerted a slight upward force: "I passed by Xueyue Lake, thinking that you just lived here, I don't know if you are used to it, so I came to have a look. It disturbed your purity. .”
Xie Lang put one hand on Zhu'er's arm, got up with some difficulty, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, I don't like to be clean."
Chu Qing gave a "hmm" and said with a smile, "Then what do you like?"
Xie Lang raised his head and looked at Chu Qing with burning eyes. Although he didn't make a sound, his expression clearly said: I like you!
Chu Qing also immediately understood what he meant, coughed lightly, and didn't stop looking at him at first.
Xie Lang sighed lightly, and said: "I like the excitement of His Majesty."
The excitement is only lively with you, otherwise the excitement is just chaotic noise.Without you, no matter how lively it is, it will be deserted.
Chu Qing smiled, took Xie Lang's hand and said, "It's cold outside, young master, please come in and sit with me."
Xie Lang was led into the room by him, and his heart couldn't stop being filled with sweetness. In his last life, he liked to hold him like this, and he never let go of his hand.
Sitting down in the flower hall, Chu Qing felt that something was wrong, looked around, but couldn't tell what was wrong.
24. Silver charcoal
Zhu'er wanted to follow in, but Shu Yi grabbed his collar and pulled him out.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Zhu'er's feet were almost off the ground, and she blushed and said angrily.
The tree stepped forward and closed the door gently, and said to Zhu'er indifferently: "You don't need to serve inside, close the door and heat the hot water."
Zhu'er snorted, turned and ran away.Shu smiled wryly, this little guy from the north is quite imposing.
In the flower hall, Chu Qing sat in an armchair and looked around with his sleeves folded.
"Are you still used to it here?"
Xie Lang smiled: "Everything is fine, thank you Your Majesty for your concern."
Chu Qing nodded, didn't know what to say for a moment, just sat there for a while, then suddenly remembered, raised his head and stretched out his hand to Xie Lang: "Come here."
Xie Lang obediently walked over, his walking posture was a bit strange, but fortunately he was in front of Chu Qing in only two steps, he put his hand on Chu Qing's palm, and looked at him affectionately.
"Your Majesty, I have been thinking about you today."
Chu Qing nodded slightly: "I miss you too."
This was what he had in mind, not just today, ever since he came back, he hadn't stopped thinking about Xie Lang.
Xie Lang looked at Chu Qing with some surprise: "Is what His Majesty said true?"
When Chu Qing laughed, sometimes the corner of one lip would be raised high, looking a little sinister and naughty, like a bad-hearted brat, but it made people happy.
At this moment, he was smiling like this, which made Xie Lang a little dazed.
"Do you think I will lie to you?"
Xie Lang shook his head: "Chen, I don't know."
Chu Qing didn't change his smile, but exerted force on his hands. Xie Lang exclaimed and fell into his arms.
"I'll let you know." Chu Qing stared into his eyes and said softly, "Young Master, what we didn't finish this morning, do you want to continue now?"
Xie Lang's face immediately turned red, he put his hands on Chu Qing's chest, sat slantedly on his lap, twisted his waist and said, "Your Majesty, don't..."
Chu Qing didn't want to listen to what he had to say, so she picked him up, walked to the door of the inner room, and kicked the door open.
"Young Master, are you still shy?"
As soon as Chu Qing said something, he felt his nose sour, frowned slightly, and sneezed violently.
"Ah!"
Chu Qing had no choice but to put Xie Lang down, rubbed his nose with his hand, and said displeasedly, "Why is it so cold in this room? Why don't you put a charcoal basin?"
Xie Lang pulled Chu Qing out, and gave him the hand stove: "Your Majesty, wait for a while, and I will bring the charcoal basin in. Burn it for a while, and it will be warm inside."
"Bring it in?" Chu Qing's expression became even colder, "Is it possible that I am so poor that I need you to carry a charcoal basin here and there?"
After speaking, Chu Qing stood up, walked to the door, pushed it open and said angrily, "Shu Yi, get out of here!"
Shu Yiyuan was about to knock on the door with a teapot, but was startled by Chu Qing, his hands shook, and hot water poured out.
Zhu'er has quick hands and quick eyes, and took the teapot over calmly, avoiding Shu Yi's embarrassment.
Shu Yi didn't care about Zhu'er, and followed Chu Qing into the door.
"Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
"Order? I never said before, Zhenwan Pavilion is no better than other places, Qing Shaojun has just entered the palace, and I can't figure out everything, how did you reply to me?"
Shu Yi swallowed: "Slave, I will arrange everything when I return to Your Majesty."
"Everything you have arranged is just such a broken charcoal pot in this huge Zhenwan Pavilion!"
With a low voice, Chu Qing raised his foot and kicked over the charcoal basin on the ground. The hollowed-out bronze filigree charcoal basin jingled and rolled twice. The lid on it fell off, and black charcoal ash was scattered all over the ground.
Chu Qing said angrily: "Look for yourself what's in that charcoal basin!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down." Xie Lang persuaded, "Eunuch Shu has already tried his best to take care of us. It's me. In Jinyu City, the winter was much colder than here. I think a charcoal basin is enough."
Chu Qing snorted coldly: "Young Master, did I ask you something?"
Xie Lang quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, forgive me."
Chu Qing blinked, but still pulled him up: "If you think a charcoal basin is enough, why is the door of the inner room kept closed? Don't you think the outer room is
