"Jushi Liu, is this the first time I've met you?"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty has forgotten things. In the first year of Wu Ding, in Xuzhou, I once had a relationship with Your Majesty."
"In the first year of Wuding, Xuzhou..."
The light yellow whale oil lamp illuminated the Cining Palace bedroom. Emperor Wu Ding's concubines and queens were sitting on the dragon bed, waiting for the Emperor's visit.
The Supreme Emperor made an exception tonight and put down the pile of memorials in advance. He hurriedly washed up, changed into casual clothes, and called Liu Rushi to have a long candlelight conversation with this ill-fated and strange woman in order to prepare for in-depth exchanges.
Three years ago, Liu Rushi, disheartened by the hatred of his country and his family, became a nun at Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City. From then on, he always accompanied me as a Buddhist nun.
Three months ago, Chen Xin sent people to secretly visit Hanshan Temple and bribed the master of diffraction with a large sum of money.
Director Diffraction ordered Liu Rushi to return to secular life immediately on the grounds that he was "young, frivolous and dishonest in his cultivation".
Jushi Liu was taken on a painted boat to Wuchang Town, and then went north along the post road, all the way out of the customs, and finally came to Shenyang. As a gift from Chen Xinjin to the Supreme Emperor, he was sent to Cining Palace overnight.
There was still more than half an hour before Ion Time, and the Supreme Emperor ordered Amber to bring dried bayberries and sake for everyone to make wine to warm up.
"Jushi Liu, I heard that although you are a female, you are well-read and your knowledge is not as good as that of men. Looking at the world today, who can be called a hero?"
Liu Zhaosun picked up a green plum and handed it to the layman's bowl. Liu Rushi was speechless for a moment.
"Zhang Zicheng of Shaanxi, Zhu Changhui of Jiangnan, Tokugawa clan of Japan..."
Liu Rushi interrupted, "Your Majesty is wise and mighty, and the Qi Dynasty is prospering day by day. You are a hero. My daughter has heard people talk about your Majesty's achievements in Jiangnan. Although I have met him for the first time, I feel like I have seen your Majesty somewhere before."
Liu Zhaosun smiled awkwardly.
"Ying Ming Shen Wu? There are many policemen in the north and south of Daqi. The people are in dire straits. Soldiers, merchants, and refugees are all rebellious. How do you see that Ying Ming Shen Wu is prospering?"
"I am from the south, so I don't know the situation in the north. However, when I was in Hangzhou, I heard that a storyteller told the story of "Jin Baya was assassinated after the battle by General Xuanwu." I know that your majesty is a very human being."
Liu Zhaosun and Jin Yuji looked at each other and smiled.
Recalling things that happened a long time ago, he looked at Liu Rushi carefully and remembered the time when he and Zhang Yan first met.
That gorgeous woman is also so skilled at seducing people.
Liu Rushi's beauty is comparable to that of Empress Zhang. She has the aura of being a talented woman, and she also has the tranquility and naturalness of a monk who does not seek glory and wealth, which gives her a unique flavor.
"Da Qi is in danger, and all my loyal ministers and good generals want to save this big ship. They are divided into two factions, one wants reform and the other does not. The two sides refuse to give in to each other and attack each other. I am very worried, so I ask you, do you Do you think after the fall of Da Qi, who can replace me?"
A string of souls asked, everyone was stunned, Liu Rushi calmly said:
"No one can replace you. Standing tall against a wall, you must be strong without desire. If your majesty can see through life and death, why should you be afraid of what happens after you die? If you can't see through it, you will continue to obsess, so why bother asking others."
Liu Zhaosun was speechless for a moment, while Liu Rushi's eyes were as penetrating as candlelight.
Liu Kan's dead mother appeared in front of her eyes, and the tragic scene of Zhang Yan's death was still vivid in her mind.
"Sit back and watch them fight and kill like rivers of blood, and stand by and watch?"
Thinking of the upcoming internal fight, the Supreme Emperor was still frightened.
The lust that had just arisen suddenly disappeared.
"I am an outsider. Your Majesty must get rid of all obsessions yourself."
Liu Zhaosun was not interested in practicing Zen and preaching. After leaving Kaiyuan, the time traveler rose through the ranks, from General Xuanwu to Chief Soldier, and from Chief Soldier to Lord Protector. In the end, he could not be promoted, so he had to arrogantly proclaim himself emperor.
In recent years, he has rarely interacted with monks and Taoists.
"I am a warrior who only knows how to fight. Over the years, I have stirred up the world and brought people from one pit of fire to another. I feel ashamed in my heart. I see that the disaster is coming, but I am helpless."
Liu Rushi looked directly at the traveler, his eyes as clear as water, absorbing the soul.
"Your Majesty is physically majestic. God descended from heaven to fight one against a hundred. Now he holds the best soldiers in the world, but he is as weak and powerless as a newborn baby. What a strange thing? He really has a heart of compassion and cannot bear to be punished. He cannot bear to have his life destroyed. He is said to be a non-poisonous and unruly husband. From my concubine’s point of view, Your Majesty is a true hero and a real man.”
So, does the hero have to die?
Jin Yuji Yang Qing'er was silent beside her, looking at the woman who suddenly broke in. Seeing the Emperor's mood swings, everyone was full of hatred for Liu Rushi.
The look in Chen Yuanyuan's eyes when she looked at Liu Rushi was full of murderous intent, and she wished she could kill him.
At this time, there was a hurried knock on the door, and the Supreme Emperor winked. Dongfang Zhu, who was cooking wine and sharing bayberries with the concubines, immediately put down his work and headed out of the palace.
Liu Zhaosun clenched his fists: "Here we come. The river of blood will flow again."
Everyone looked toward the door, and the Supreme Emperor said: "Please sit down and talk, Master Liu."
There was a space left on the huge dragon bed, and Liu Rushi sat down next to the two queen mothers, speaking neither humble nor arrogantly.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be harsh. I have read through the history books. Throughout the dynasties, every ten years, there are records of "people eating each other" and "famine". The court of the former Ming Dynasty was like hell. Da Qi, under your Majesty's rule, has not starved to death for more than ten years. people."
Liu Zhaosun smiled bitterly. For ancient emperors, not starving the people to death was already a very high requirement.
"Chen Xin brought you to Shenyang to offer you to me. Why? Do you want him to speak freely in court, or do you want me to spare his life?"
"I don't know, but now it seems that Governor Chen and His Majesty are not the same people."
Liu Zhaosun and Chen Xin are certainly not the same person.
"I am neither a lustful person nor a murderous person. You came at the wrong time. There will be blood flowing into the river in Shenyang tonight, maybe tomorrow night."
"Your Majesty, are you afraid of death?"
Liu Zhaosun smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, who can kill me? The fortune teller said that I have an immortal body and can live forever. I can live to be at least three hundred years old."
Liu Rushi was not surprised at all that Emperor Da Qi was immortal:
"Since Your Majesty is not afraid of life and death, then life and death cannot affect Da Qi."
"Hahaha!" Liu Zhaosun laughed: "Thank you, layman, for your words. This is the best news I have heard this year."
Before he finished speaking, there was a clanging sound, and Pei Dahu bumped in and said loudly:
"Your Majesty, Yang Tong, Jin Yinghe, and Ge Yewen led troops to attack! They surrounded the palace and threatened to clear the emperor's side. Please Your Majesty to kill Kang Yingqian and Chen Xin immediately to save Daqi! Kang Yingqian, Chen Xin, and Zheng Yishi also led troops to let Your Majesty calm down. Rebellion, kill the rebels; the two sides are confronting each other outside the Taisho Palace, and other regiment chiefs are also coming."
"Are the First and Second Corps in place?"
Pei Dahu said categorically: "Deng Changxiong is ready!"
Liu Zhaosun was silent for a moment: "If I don't go to hell, who will? Go, go out and meet my loyal ministers and good generals!"
Lin Yu and Wu Xiao stepped forward to protect him. The Empress Dowager Cisheng skillfully put on the armor for her husband, while comforting the concubines so that they did not have to panic.
Bumbutai drew out his long knife and tried to rush out, but was stopped by Liu Zhaosun.
"You stay here and protect the two Queen Mothers and Jushi Liu. I will come back as soon as I go."
