"Husband."
"The appearance and appearance of these sisters in the back house really make me feel ashamed."
"Mess Chen Yu who is like a fairy, sister Wu Zhu who is sweet-natured, and Yu Youwei who can't help but be tempted by the sight of a woman, this white cat beauty is really scary. ..”
Lu Ze smiled helplessly, knowing that this was the palace lady, Lu Chengyan, applying eye drops to him.
These women in the back house of the palace are all beauties who can be rated by Rouge. Even though Lu Chengyan occupies the position of the royal concubine of the King of Shu, she never dares to underestimate those peerless beauties. Fortunately, Yu Youyou Wei and the others are not the kind of jealous people. These women who have been displaced in the world for various reasons have their own persistence.
If it's just to have a place to protect yourself, there are countless places under the world where you can do that.
I just want to find a place where my heart is at ease, this is my home.
Compared with Chen Yu, Yu Youwei and Murong Wuzhu, Lu Chengyan has a closer relationship with the youngest Nan Huaiyu, especially when he knows that there is no one else in his family. This person grew up in Tai'an City and The lively and aggressive woman became much calmer after arriving in the unfamiliar Shu land.
"Husband, have Yu'er's parents passed away?"
"Otherwise, the old prisoner from Qintian Prison wouldn't have entrusted his precious granddaughter to you."
Lu Ze shook his head and turned to look at the courtyard gate behind him: "No, Lao Jianzheng has been staying in Qintian Prison his whole life and has never married a wife and had children. He accidentally picked up Yu'er at the foot of Qianyi Mountain outside Tai'an City. The orphans who arrived were later taken back to Qintian Prison. Yu'er still doesn't know about this, and she doesn't need to know."
The old supervisor was trying his best to entrust his precious granddaughter to Lu Ze in Kyoto at that time. This was the reason.
The huge and prosperous Tai'an City has never seemed to be an easy place to get along with. Now even the Empire's Optimus Prime Stone has embarked on a road of no return. The so-called majestic imperial city of Liyang King has something hidden behind it. There are many things that may be unimaginable to ordinary people.
"correct."
"That...Princess Xichu, what do you want my husband to do with her?"
Lu Chengyan changed the topic very wisely.
Lu Ze smiled and said, "Huang Sanjia once said that the lost princess of Western Chu had the best luck in the world. When the capital of Western Chu was about to be conquered by Li Yang, it was said that many people, including the old master Sun Xiji, The veterans of Chu State all saw the fortune of the Nine Dragon Seal, known as the best jade seal in the world, pouring into the young princess in the Dahuang Palace. In the past few years, Cao Changqing searched for traces of the subjugated princess all over the world. If it hadn't been for this Your Highness, Princess, the name of Xichu's revolt to restore the country is not justified, and the words are not true."
"I need Jiang Ni to stay in Sichuan and completely dissipate his yellow and purple luck in the world of Sichuan."
"Xi Chu wants to restore the country, and the most critical leader Cao Changqing is dead. As long as the fate of Jiang Ni, the subjugated princess, is completely wiped out, the so-called restoration of the country is just talk on paper."
Of course, Lu Ze didn't let Jiang Ni go because of the old sword god Li Chungang.
But on this chessboard, a Cao Guanzi, Cao Changqing, was placed, and the heat was already just right.
In many cases, killing is not the goal, but just a means.
Of course, there is a more critical reason.
He wanted to leave a loophole like Jiang Ni and completely block the Achilles' heel of the Minister of War in the capital.
In the original work of Xue Zhong, Zhao Zhuan was directly ousted after two and a half years on the throne. A large part of the reason was that Gu Jiantang's side stood still. Zhao Zhuan did not fully understand Xu Xiao, who wanted to become the second person in Liyang. What the general was thinking.
The so-called idea that everything in the world is not the land of the king, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers, it is difficult to imprison those powerful people with true aspirations. Only those with deeper cities, smarter hearts, and more fierce means can sit down. to the supreme position.
"Zi-Zi-Zi."
"I just don't know that this handsome man who is ranked in the world's martial arts evaluation list will have such a good head in Taipei."
What kind of turmoil is happening in Anseong. "
"Sun Xiji, Zhang Julu, Gu Jiantang..."
"And my emperor, me."
...
When the head was delivered to Tai'an City, and when the wooden box was placed just five steps in front of Emperor Zhao Chun, the entire Liyang Court suddenly fell into a dead silence. Just now, the sharp voice of the eunuch was It seemed that it was still echoing in the ears of ministers and ministers, and people seemed not to accept this fact for a while.
His Majesty the Emperor, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was looking at the wooden box with a complicated expression.
Several veterans of Western Chu who had returned to Liyang in the court turned their heads one after another. Sun Xiji, the old master of Western Chu with white beard and hair, even had tears in his eyes. He stretched out his hand tremblingly and pointed at the man who held the title of the most romantic scholar in Western Chu. The box for the head.
People's attention was focused on these old ministers of Western Chu, and no one seemed to have noticed that Gu Jiantang, the general of the Liyang court, who was at the head of the military generals, the Minister of War, had an unspeakable gloom and shock in his eyes.
Cao Changqing...is actually dead? !
"On the day of the King of Shu's wedding, Cao Changqing broke into Jinguan City and entered the palace of the King of Shu."
"His actions are disrespectful and his words are outrageous."
"Behead him now..."
The Baohe Hall has been extremely quiet since the eunuch finished reading.
Zhang Julu, the Chief Assistant, looked at Gu Jiantang of Shangzhu Kingdom, who was standing parallel to him, expressionlessly. His blue eyes quickly scanned the court ministers. Finally, the Chief Assistant, the most powerful civil servant, slowly stepped out of the queue and looked down at the feet of His Majesty the Emperor. He walked up the golden jade steps and spoke softly: "Cao Changqing entered Tai'an City three times in an attempt to assassinate His Majesty. Your Majesty is kind and has not convicted him of his crime, but he should be punished for his actions."
"Now the King of Shu kills Cao Changqing in the palace."
"Deserves reward."
As soon as the Chief Assistant said these words, the Liyang court instantly became noisy, especially those of the so-called Spring and Autumn Old Party headed by the old master Sun Xiji, which included the remaining ministers of the other eight countries except Liyang, and there were even many among them. The young man occupies important positions such as Zhongshu and Imperial College. At this moment, the expressions of these people all changed. The ministers lowered their heads and exchanged glances quickly.
Cao Changqing died too suddenly.
And the sudden words of Chief Assistant Zhang Julu were even more sudden.
The chief assistant’s friend is Huan Wen, who is known as Tan Tan Weng. He is a humorous old man who firmly adheres to the rare humor. He is a representative of "being an official in a harmonious manner" in the court. The second most powerful person in Zhongshu Province knew it instantly. The intention of what my old friend just said.
Cao Changqing called himself a sinner of Western Chu, but never called him a minister of Liyang.
The remnants of the Western Chu who have entered the capital three times to assassinate His Majesty are different from the old ministers of the Eight Kingdoms who have entered the Liyang Court as officials. Although His Majesty has praised Cao Qingyi in public several times, it is impossible for him to The sixth prince who was the king of Shu would punish Cao Qingyi by beheading him, but if he publicly praised him, it would probably make the people in the court have other thoughts.
Therefore, as soon as Zhang Shoufu's words came out, he naturally became the target of hatred from the old party in the court.
Of course, the more critical reason is that the chief minister wants to take over Cao Changqing to beat the people of the old party. If they live in Liyanglu, they should serve Liyang as their ministers. The death of a Cao official can make people talk about death in recent years. If they lose their temper, it only proves that these people's hearts have not completely turned to Li Yang after so many years.
After a long time, Zhao Chun, who was on the throne, finally spoke and clarified the matter.
"The King of Shu has a great wedding. I should be rewarded."
His Majesty the Emperor did not mention Cao Guanzi at all, but he directly expressed the emperor's attitude. All the old party ministers in the court were silent, because Sun Xiji, the leader of the old party, just lowered his head silently at this moment. Not a word.
The news that Cao Guanzi died in Xishu quickly spread throughout Tai'an City.
The Liyang people in Tai'an City naturally know about the extremely handsome Confucian scholar in blue who has entered Tai'an City three times. In the eyes of the secular Liyang people, this treacherous official Cao naturally belongs to the rebellious officials and traitors of our dynasty, especially after knowing He died at the hands of the young King of Shu. To this day, the people of Tai'an City still tell the story of the sixth prince who was entrusted with heaven's destiny and ushered in the rays of light from the world.
In the writer’s mouth.
Originally, the public would never dare to compile stories and jokes about the Liyang royal family.
There is no big or small thing on the stage, and the story of setting up a new tomb under the stage is naturally not uncommon in this world.
The storytellers from both Liyang and Beimang regard Huang Sanjia, who is known as the Spring and Autumn Storyteller, as their ancestor.
Here in Tai'an City, there was really too much noise caused by Lu Ze in Qintian Prison.
The young Jiang Ni attracted the luck of the Nine Dragons Seal in the Dahuang Palace, which made the ministers of Western Chu burst into tears, not to mention that Lu Ze, the Liyang Prince, caused such a big stir in the imperial capital of Tai'an City; in addition, there were people in the capital It seemed that some important person had dropped his words, causing the officials of the Zongren Mansion and the Ministry of Rites to choose to turn a blind eye to the matter.
After night falls, smoke from birds and cooking pots rises from all over Liyang Imperial Capital.
After winter, people in Tai'an City are reluctant to go out in the cold. Unless they are going out with a few friends to eat authentic mutton-boiled meat to relieve the cold in the body, even the top girl in Zuixianju does not look as sexy as before. I wonder if it’s because I have more clothes in winter than in summer.
The Gu residence, where Gu Jiantang, the Minister of War, lives, is the place that the generals of Liyang Chaotang yearn for.
The man who slaughtered Xu Xiao made the Spring and Autumn Kingdom breathless, and the same was true for Gu Jiantang who single-handedly destroyed East Vietnam and the Southern Tang Dynasty behind him. Xu Laizi even dared to slap the minister's face with his scabbard. , the latter accepted it silently.
None of the princes, princes, and ministers in Tai'an City may know that General Gu Jiantang stayed up all night tonight. The Minister of War on the bed in the house had a gloomy face and murmured to himself: "Cao Changqing missed me for twenty years."
Cao Guanzi's sudden death made all the so-called agreements become bubbles floating in the air.
Gu Jiantang knew through secret channels that the conquered princess of Western Chu was now imprisoned in the Shu palace. The so-called hibernation of the Minister of War for more than twenty years has now become a complete joke. What worries Gu Jiantang even more is that How much did the subjugated princess know? There was no guarantee that Cao Changqing hadn't deliberately left something behind over the years to constrain him.
The young King of Shu did not know what means he used, but he actually killed Cao Qingyi, one of the top three martial arts critics in the world.
But he, Gu Jiantang, is naturally not afraid of the new vassal king who is far away in Shu. But if His Highness the Sixth Prince really takes over Tai'an City one day, then this agreement with Cao Changqing will probably become a big hidden danger. All kinds of signs and behaviors They all showed that His Highness the King of Shu was not an ordinary person. In comparison, Gu Jiantang preferred the fourth prince Zhao Zhuan who grew up in Tai'an City.
"Your Highness Sixth..."
"Can the Queen really be able to sit still?"
.......
Tonight, there was not a single self-proclaimed gourmand at Jiujiu Restaurant in Longxu Lane. The diners who came in for fun were stopped by the wooden thank you sign hanging outside the door, but there were people inside the house. White smoke was rising, and someone could be vaguely seen shabu-shabu through the window. The diners who came in the cold weather wanted to go in and try their luck, but unexpectedly, there were guards blocking the way. Among the scabbards of these guards, they could see them. Wrapped in golden silk thread, diners can only leave in disgust.
Although there was only one pot burning in the room, it was still very warm. The proprietress surnamed Hong put the last few dishes of secret condiments on the table. In front of her was a middle-aged man who was feasting alone. The man lowered his head and patronized Enjoying the perfect amount of black mutton at the tip of the buttocks, he just pressed his hand towards the woman and motioned her to sit down.
The proprietress Hong Silk looked at the guy in front of her who had killed her man, and said in a calm tone: "It's a rare visitor. Today's day of rest from overseas travel is not easy."
The man slowly picked up the mutton and dipped it into the various exquisite dishes. His Majesty the Emperor, who was chewing the most authentic mutton-boiled meat in the capital, did not pay attention to the woman's rudeness. He ate it for a while. Gu Gu said: "Red silk, I believe that the world in Liyang is the world that Xunping wants to see most. His thirteen years of governance have now benefited all the states and counties in Liyang, and the people of Liyang have benefited from it. Xun Ping, I am grateful for his death back then, and I am grateful for my guilt towards him."
The woman just sneered when she heard this, not caring that the Emperor in front of her was the Emperor of Liyang Dynasty: "I'm just a hairdresser."
A woman with short knowledge only knows that her husband will die for you two years after he came out of Shangyin Academy. What's the use of talking nonsense now? "
Emperor Zhao Chun didn't pay attention to the woman's angry words and resentment. He was in a very good mood today, so he didn't stay in Yangxin Hall to review memorials and have a hasty dinner. He knew that Jiujiu Pavilion happened to be resting today. Then he left the palace alone to warm his stomach.
"I heard that Kai'er met you several times when he was in Kyoto? It's rare that you didn't lose your temper with him. I thought..."
The proprietress Hong Xi smiled coldly: "You think I don't know that your son killed Xu Fengnian? These children of the younger generation are all dragged down by you elders. Either your son Zhao Kai died, or Xu Fengnian died. I won't Poor Feng Nian, that kid won't even bother to vent his anger with your son."
His Majesty the Emperor was in a good mood: "My son, he is very good, isn't he?"
Unexpectedly, the face of the widowed landlady also brightened at this time: "Very good."
Zhao Chun knew what the woman in front of him was thinking, so he just chuckled and said nothing more.
They just hope that I will break up with my husband and wife.
"Kyoto is big and difficult to live in."
"How about the royal family?"
