Suxin sat quietly in front of the bronze mirror, looking at her thin and pointed face, her fair and tender face suddenly flushed. The bronze mirror reflected the large pear wood flower-carved bed behind her. On the large brocade-covered bed not far away, a young man was sleeping there. The young man's complexion was a little dark, and it was surprisingly that King Wei Liu Jixing had just returned to the palace.
This is a side hall of Xiuhua Palace in the imperial city. It is not yet dark yet, but the surroundings are quiet.
At this time, there were no other palace maids except Su Xin. Although it was still late spring and early summer, it was already relatively hot in Lingnan. Su Xin only wore a pink gauze with cicada wings. Although her figure was not as plump as the literati of this era liked to call her, her concave and convex curves were extremely distinct. If she gained more weight, she would lose weight, and if she lost weight, she would lose weight.
Suxin couldn't help but turn around and stared blankly at King Wei who was sleeping soundly on the bed. At this time, in her mind, the scene when she first met King Wei after entering the palace flashed through her mind like an electric image, as well as the scene when she met King Wei just now. Accident.
Suxin's parents died when she was young. She lived with her uncle in Lianzhou, Lingnan, since she could remember when she was four or five years old. When she was thirteen, she was sent to the palace by her aunt on the pretext of being drafted. However, Su Xin's appearance is not ugly in this era, but her thin figure and long oval face are naturally not outstanding in the palace, not to mention that the current emperor always likes blessed, graceful and luxurious beauties, and Su Xin Without a prominent family background, even if she was a concubine in the first palace, she would be judged by others, so she was appointed to the Shangyi Supervisor to be responsible for starching and washing clothes for the palace people.
If nothing else goes wrong, Su Xin will have to wait and suffer in the palace for more than ten years, and then every time a certain emperor encounters a big event, he will routinely issue a pardon, and then hope to get a chance to leave the palace. If she is lucky, she can find him. An honest person.
But fate is sometimes so strange, because this King Wei is usually unscrupulous and cruel. Mrs. Ya in the Xiuhua Palace, in order to avoid confusing people around King Wei and these attendants as much as possible, so she changed all the beautiful maids in the palace into so-called ordinary appearances, and Suxin was in this situation I entered Xiuhua Palace inexplicably.
The first time she met King Wei, Suxin clearly remembered that day she and a group of palace maids went to Xiuhua Palace to deliver clothes. When passing by the main hall, she saw a bunch of people surrounding King Wei to serve him. King Wei was sitting on the eight-foot-tall cart, shouting and ordering the execution.
It was a palace maid who made a mistake in a trance while serving King Wei. King Wei ordered someone to whip her to death with a whip soaked in raw water in the open space outside the palace, while he sat on the banquet and ate with Ma Meiren. Enjoy the fruit.
Suxin heard someone say that she saw it from a distance. When she saw the misery of the palace maid, she was naturally frightened to death. She also heard many rumors about King Wei in private, and from then on she regarded King Wei as a devil in her heart.
Later, because the emperor never came to Xiuhua Palace, Mrs. Ya reduced the number of maids serving in the palace. So often when Xiuhua Palace was short of manpower, palace maids like Su Xin who did menial tasks would have to serve. Although Suxin is not very beautiful in everyone's eyes, she is kind-hearted and always considers others. As she gradually gets to know her, she is taken to serve by Mrs. Ya.
After coming to Xiuhua Palace, she had heard about the viciousness of King Wei and knew that the emperor had asked Mrs. Ya to take him with him since he was a child. Suxin was naturally worried. Fortunately, King Wei has already opened his own palace. Although he has not left the imperial city, he is still some distance away from Xiuhua Palace. Moreover, under the instigation of the eunuchs and Ma Meiren, King Wei deliberately came here less often to pay his respects to Mrs. Ya. Su Xin came here for a long time without disturbing King Wei.
And remembering that she had just seen King Wei come to pay homage to Mrs. Ya, Suxin couldn't help but blush again. Mrs. Ya has always had a habit. Because the weather here in Lingnan is extremely hot and prone to sweating, she often takes flower baths in the palace, and often takes a bath for an hour or two. Mrs. Ya was taking a bath that afternoon, and no one expected that King Wei would suddenly appear in the soup pool.
Because she may have been carrying King Wei with her, Mrs. Ya did not regard King Wei as an adult. His appearance did not embarrass Mrs. Ya because she was sad for a long time after King Wei's accident. She heard that the emperor sent someone to pick him up. Thinking of coming back so soon, she was very happy to see that King Wei was now sane. It was Su Xin who served Mrs. Ya in the soup pool today. When she saw King Wei suddenly appear, she was so frightened that she trembled all over. She didn't know how to deal with King Wei. If Mrs. Ya hadn't been there, Su Xin would have fainted.
Then I only vaguely remembered that King Wei also went into the soup pool. The water in this soup pool was connected to a hot spring water vein in the center of the earth, and then connected to a stream of living water. The water temperature was usually more than 20 degrees, which was comfortable and pleasant. In addition, Mrs. Ya usually likes the fragrance of flowers, so the jasmine flowers filled the pool with petals, making the Tangchi Palace filled with mist and hazy.
King Wei suddenly said that he wanted to take a bath, and then he took off his clothes, regardless of whether Mrs. Ya agreed or not, and took a bath calmly in front of the two of them. Su Xin later learned that although Mrs. Ya was not favored by the emperor, she was still one of the emperor's wives in name, and that King Wei was the emperor's eldest son. If this matter came out, everyone in the Xiuhua Palace would be sure It's a capital crime.
She was the only royal outsider present, and she couldn't help but hide behind Mrs. Ya and tremble. Although Mrs. Ya was ashamed and frightened in her heart, thinking that King Wei was back to his old ways, she saw that there seemed to be no lust in King Wei's eyes and no further actions, so she couldn't help but calmly asked King Wei what was going on.
King Wei then chirped and said something that Su Xin didn't quite understand, but the main idea was that King Wei himself had no foundation in the court, and the emperor wanted to make King Wei the crown prince. King Wei himself had no confidence, and now he needed Mrs. Ya's father. , Mr. Lu Ying, the boss of the day, wanted to help, hoping that Mrs. Ya could help, so naturally he came here with a shy face to ask for Mrs. Ya.
Suxin didn't understand politics or the court, and didn't dare to participate. But she knew that King Wei had been with Mrs. Ya for several years since he was a child. After hearing that Mrs. Ya agreed to help King Wei, she generously bathed King Wei with Suxin, and even asked Suxin to come over to serve King Wei.
At that time, Suxin was naturally scared out of her mind, but to Suxin's surprise and joy, King Wei not only did not bully and reprimand her, but also seriously praised her beauty. Although Suxin didn't know how much of what King Wei said was true, as a sensible woman, she felt that King Wei really loved her.
Looking at King Wei who was sleeping soundly on the bed at this time, and remembering that he said that he was very tired and wanted to sleep for a while, Mrs. Ya arranged for Suxin to accompany King Wei to rest in a side hall of her palace. After King Wei came in, he fell asleep. It made Suxin feel confused. Is the young man she saw serving him the devil that others mentioned?
While they were thinking about it, someone suddenly seemed to greet them outside the palace. Suxin stood up and looked around, but it was the favored eunuch in King Wei's palace. It is said that he is now the eunuch Chen Yanshou who is also highly valued by the emperor and often comes here to convey messages. .
Listening to Mrs. Ya talking about this Chen Yanshou in her spare time, although she didn't have much glory in the palace, she was quite intelligent. Su Xin didn't dare to neglect him, so she couldn't help but walked over slowly and asked him if there was anything wrong.
This Chen Yanshou was also very discerning, because he did not go with Luofu Mountain this time. When King Wei came back, he immediately found a way to stick with him. He might also know King Wei better. Seeing that Suxin was serving alone, he congratulated Suxin first, and then asked in a low voice when King Wei went to bed and when he woke up.
Suxin shook her head and said she didn't know. After all, it was her first time to serve King Wei! If he dared to talk to him casually, he would ask him what happened and if he wanted to convey it to him later.
Chen Yanshou leisurely mentioned Su Xin and understood. It turned out that the eunuchs serving King Wei in the palace were all human beings. He knew that several people in Quju had been promoted because of King Wei. Some people knew that King Wei was close to Quju and some of the officials who went to pick him up, so they wanted to get close to Quju and a few people to please King Wei. I just wanted to ask King Wei for his words and opinions, and see who in the palace he wanted to send to Qu Mansion to give Qu Ju a favor.
Suxin didn't know how to answer here, but King Wei from inside called people outside to come in. Suxin and Chen Yanshou came in to King Wei. Liu Jixing had already sat up, and Suxin hurried over to put a robe on him.
Liu Jixing smiled at her, patted her clothed hand gently and nodded. Thinking of the feeling of soaking in the hot spring with them just now, he felt a little moved and emotional. He was the only one taking off his clothes in front of two beautiful women. He only dares to be in this era. If he were in his own time, he would have been shot to death a hundred times.
Of course, Liu Jixing had his own motives for doing this. If it weren't for King Wei in his body, he would have been a monster, and Mrs. Ya's father was also a figure who even wanted to give face to his current cheap father Liu Sheng. He only had La Yafu Only when someone falls into the water will she help herself, and only then will he be able to help him!
Grandma's obedience is as good as in ancient times. Power is good and power can lead to corruption, not to mention the most powerful family in Lingnan, a place where birds don't lay eggs.
Mrs. Ya is an out-and-out super lady, beautiful and charming, but she has been hidden by Liu Sheng. If she hadn't looked at her father's face, she would have been stabbed by Liu Sheng a few years ago. . What a pity! Such a beauty! If nothing happens, I will be the emperor next year, and then I can collect her, hahahaha.
And this Su Xin, she is as beautiful as Lin Chiling, the otaku goddess of her time. Look at her plump breasts, which are several models bigger than Sister Lin. It is a pity that people in ancient times did not know the goods and said that she was not lucky and gave them to Xuezang. What a waste! If everyone likes Ma Zhenzhu like that idiot King Wei, Liu Jixing probably won't have to sleep in the future.
At this time, hearing Chen Yanshou say that he wanted to send someone to give Quju some favors, Liu Jixing was stunned for a moment and didn't know what the situation was. Who knew that as soon as Chen Yanshou explained, Liu Jixing remembered what was going on, and immediately couldn't help but feel a little evil in his heart.
It turns out that the five-generation Lingnan Han Dynasty was called the Han Dynasty. It was the Southern Han Dynasty in Chinese history and the most famous eunuch dynasty. At that time, King Wei's grandfather, Liu Yan, came up with a unique trick that would last forever in order to prevent his generals and courtiers from causing rebellion.
That is, all ministers who are highly valued by the court imply that they must purify themselves before they can enter the palace and discuss politics on their own, especially those who are Jinshi from Enbang High School. If they want to enter officialdom from now on, they must first purify themselves and clarify their aspirations.
But in the hands of Liu Sheng, the King of Wei, it has become an open matter. If you want to enter the Liubu, Zhongshu, or sect, you must purify yourself.
This incident had a huge impact, but what is strange is that most of the officials in the Southern Han Dynasty did not feel any discomfort and were happily serving as officials. Even the current Li Yi purified himself when he was above the fifth rank. After becoming the governor of Nanhai, he was taken seriously by Liu Sheng. Because he was castrated early, he entered the palace and became the master of all kings.
Qu Ju was not of high rank when he taught King Wei Liu Jixing, and later he became an observer and a military officer. In addition, he hated the eunuchs around King Wei, and since then left King Wei's side, he has never been clean. Pass. Of course, when he became the Governor of the Four Prefectures, some people thought that he should cleanse himself. He would definitely not be able to escape after being honored again this time!
Liu Jixing has not yet found out how many purified people there are in Prince Xing's Mansion, but he knows that Zhao Kuangyin did this later. Of course, after Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin sent people to capture Lingnan, only those who were killed would be castrated. There are more than 500 masters.
For officials like Quju who were highly used by the emperor, the palace would usually send someone to castrate them at the palace to show the emperor's favor, so it was officially called Enshi. Liu Jixing felt a little dumbfounded when he thought about it.
I remember that in history, King Wei was finally captured and sent to Bianliang, Tokyo, because of the evil eunuch Le Fan. He thought to himself that he had finally gotten Quju's support. If this allowed him to become an eunuch, could he really become Jin Dada's second Dongfang Invincible? Then he won’t hate himself to death in the future!
And Wu Yanrou, who took him back to Prince Xing's Mansion, was said to have directly stepped over the school captain. It seems that today Liu Sheng also promoted him to the rank of guerrilla general, down from the fifth rank. This can be considered a fifth-grade official, not to mention that he is said to be working part-time in the Forbidden Army and is commanding under Liu Sheng's famous Zuowei Zhonglang.
Liu Jixing did not understand the title of this position. Later he heard that it was equivalent to the rank of Lang General under the Zhonglang General, which was higher than his actual rank of guerrilla general. He also seemed to have heard that he had a very powerful master, who was said to be not much different from the awesome Xia Qinghou who wanted to challenge him! (If Xia Qinghou heard this, he would definitely fall to the ground!).
If he had their help, he would definitely have an easier time, but if several men were castrated by them, he might stab himself in the back with resentment in his heart. Liu Jixing couldn't help but feel that he had two heads with one head. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but stood up and said that he would go to see the emperor immediately.
Qu Quji sat quietly on the stone steps in front of the steps, looking coldly at the group of gesticulating people in front of him. The murderous aura in his body kept these people away, as well as the three-foot sword inserted into the crack of the stone next to him. Six-inch thick back knife.
The knife is a good knife, a knife passed down from the ancestors of the Qu family. This sword shows the different identities of Qu Quji. Almost no one in the Qu family dares to be disrespectful to this sword because it was the favorite sword of Qu Hao, the king of Jiaozhou. No one expected that such a sharp weapon, a knife that made the Qu family proud, would be left by Qu Hao in the hands of Qu Quji, who was not actually a member of the Qu family!
Qu Quji's parents fled from the Central Plains and came to Lingnan. Unfortunately, they had no way out and were fortunately taken in by the Qu family. In the winter when he was two years old, his father went out with his master and died trying to defend Quju's father from an assassination attempt by a political enemy. He was frail and sickly since he was a child, and his mother died young when he was five years old. At that time, Qu Ju's father, Qu Chengbo, was still alive. One day, he took pity on Qu Quji and used medicine to improve his physical condition. He also asked him to learn skills from Qu Ju while serving him. This year, Qu Quji was eight years old.
Although Quju is not taken seriously in the family, he has always been low-key and taciturn. As a member of the family, he has worked ten times more than others, so what he has learned has always been among the top ten elites in the family. Stay on top. Because of his low-key and reserved nature, he has been trained outside.
Qu Quji has been following Qu Ju since he was an eighth-grade junior captain. He treats Qu Ju as a brother and a father, and does not allow anyone to harm him. His loyalty is talked about by the Qu family. Later, Qu Quji accidentally fell in love with Qu Hao, who taught him swordsmanship and even a precious sword, and passed away soon after.
Qu Quji has always followed Qu Chengbo's family, but since Qu Chengbo's death, Qu Ju has been suppressed by the family elders, and has been assigned to outside to practice, just because he and his cousin Qu Tan have had a better relationship since they were young. , and were able to follow him and make great contributions in suppressing the rebellion in Yazhou. Only after Qu Tan died of illness was he able to return to Prince Xing's Mansion.
But for those direct descendants of the Qu family, they have never taken Qu Ju, a descendant of the Qu family, seriously. Even Qu Ju, who had rescued Jia in front of the emperor, attracted the attention of the emperor and later became an officer of the King of Wei. The Qu family did not pay special attention to this bastard, and usually did not care about anything when it was arranged.
Quju's father originally lived in the old house. After his death, the family members drove Quju's family out of the old house on the pretext that the emperor was disposing of the Qu family. So Qu Ju took his posthumous sister Qu Ke'er, who was also a concubine, and lived in a house he rented in the west of the city next to the market place, and Qu Quji followed him unswervingly.
As Qu Ju gradually got promoted and made meritorious service, when he became an inspector in Shaozhou, he was finally able to buy his current mistress' house in the market. Of course, the Qu family has never had any snobbish relatives. When Qu Ju was not taken seriously, it was as if they had never interacted with each other until death. Since Qu Ju's position has increased, some people have arranged for their subordinates to pay attention to Qu Ju's intention.
This time Quju can go to Luofu Mountain to greet King Wei. For many people, it is difficult to understand the emperor's actions. They don't know whether the emperor favors his ministers or takes the opportunity to suppress them. Those who are interested in the Qu family are also watching the fire from afar. Unfortunately, before Qu Ju entered the house, the imperial edict was already transmitted from the palace.
This time, Qu Ju was not only promoted to the rank of Jiedushi, the first military general in the Han Dynasty, but was also granted the title of Marquis of Xianning, who was originally from the Qu family. This made many people in the Qu family immediately unable to sit still. Qu Ju was originally just the last to wait for Baron Enshi. Now he has reached the sky in one step, because his concubine was promoted to a noble title and jumped up the ranks to become a marquis. This is also a very rare thing in history. Not to mention that Qu Ju was originally a concubine, even if he was promoted to a noble title as an ordinary person, he could also open a business and become a glorious person on his own.
Qu Ju's father, Qu Chengbo, was a viscount granted by the concubine of the King of Jiaozhou. Now he has been promoted to several levels along with Qu Ju. Although he is no longer around, it is an honor for future generations in the family tree! It was because of the current emperor's banishment of the Qu family that the glorious Qu family suffered a huge blow. Now he has become one of the few people in the Qu family who can have honorary titles.
The first person who couldn't sit still about this incident was the most senior member of the Qu family, Qu Ju's uncle Wenzhou Gong Qu Chengzhou. He is the youngest son of Quju's grandfather, King Quhao of Jiaozhou. In Qu Quji's eyes, this man is a typical dandy. He is still a few years younger than Quju, and now he is the only one left in the Qu family to teach him. Duke.
He didn't have much ability or ideas. The one who really had ideas was his wife. His wife, Liu, was the daughter of Tongping Zhangshi Liu Jun, a celebrity in the Emperor Gaozu's dynasty and in the early days of the current emperor. Mrs. Liu usually doesn't like Qu Ju. Although she is not too mean to Qu Ju, she doesn't have much social contact, but she has a bit of the discernment of her father, who was a high-ranking official.
She knew that her husband Qu Chengzhou's title was not stable in the Han Dynasty, so she usually paid more attention to the children who had positions in the family. Especially when Qu Ju gradually became an observer, she asked Qu Chengzhou to send people to contact Qu Ju from time to time, and also sent people to pick him up for reunions during the holidays, so that Qu Ju could understand that you were still Qu Ju's brother. Qu Ju didn't refuse, nor did he say anything in particular, but at least he admitted that he was a descendant of King Jiaozhou.
Now that she heard the good news, Ms. Liu seemed to feel that an opportunity had come. Not only did she want to repair the relationship between her concubine and her concubine, but she also wanted to bring her Wenzhou Duke and Quju closer together. So she quickly ordered people to go around and found Hu Yidao, the most famous castration master in Xiguan, for Quju. Together with a large group of old and young, they came to Quju's house, but Qu Quji coldly blocked him at the second door. inside.
If it were normal, Mrs. Liu would have asked her servants to teach Qu Qujiji a lesson. The Qu family was neither a loyal servant nor a master of keeping the family. But today Mrs. Liu was not angry. Instead, she softly asked Qu Quji to go in and tell him that he was coming. However, Qu Quji refused to give in and only said that Qu Ju had accepted the emperor's order and had something to do. This immediately made everyone angry. , especially now that the people from Xijue Jiaozhou Wang Qu Ye's side are shouting the loudest. If he hadn't seen Qu Quji pull out the thick-backed sword, he would have taught him a lesson.
In the inner courtyard room, Qu Ju was sitting on the big beech bed, reading a handwritten military book. He was dressed casually in loose linen casual clothes. The younger sister, Qu Ker, was wearing a lake green outfit and fast boots, and was comforting her sister-in-law Su, who was crying softly at the side.
Quju's wife was the concubine of Su Zhang, the famous good general of the Han Dynasty, Gao Zuchao, and his envoy to the left and right streets. Although she was also born as a concubine, Su was favored by Su Zhang since she was a child. She had extraordinary martial arts skills, and also had some knowledge. She and her husband Quju loved and supported each other, and they even had a pair of children. Now it is heard that Qu Ju will be castrated if he takes up important positions in the inner court. Although she has long heard that officials in the inner court were like this in the past, now that it is her husband's turn, Su must still be heartbroken.
Qu Keer has a long oval face. She has been practicing martial arts since she was a child. She is tall and tall, but she is already eighteen years old and has no husband yet. Her mother was a singer from the Central Plains, and she was taken in by Qu Chengbo as a concubine in Prince Xing's palace. She inherited her mother's figure. As the concubine of the Qu family, she was originally supposed to be the tool for the family to contact other families. But because on the one hand, many concubines in the family are not cold-blooded, not to mention that her father has passed away, and her brother is not a public person; on the other hand, her face is really not liked by the people of this era, so she has been living with her brother and sister-in-law, almost... I have never been photographed by anyone.
She was definitely happy about her brother's knighthood, but although she was still a virgin and didn't understand much about this move, seeing her sister-in-law so sad, she could only persuade her brother to see if he could not be the military governor and minister of war. .
But she also knew that although her brother was usually silent, he was actually very ambitious. Thinking about her grandfather, he did not fulfill his duties as a governor in his later years. It was a good thing that his brother could show his talents now, so she didn't know how to persuade them when she looked at the two of them.
Suddenly there seemed to be a faint noise outside, and the sound became louder and louder. Although Qu Ke'er is not that kind of tough woman, she has suffered a lot of anger from her family since she was a child, following her brother and sister-in-law, so she begged her brother and sister-in-law to teach her martial arts since she was a child. She has never been a weak woman, with a cheerful, generous and straightforward personality. , she also knew that her brother and sister-in-law were upset, and the purpose of those people from the family outside was obvious. Seeing that her brother and sister-in-law didn't say anything, she stood up suddenly and opened the door and went out.
Who knew that as soon as he stepped out of the door, he bumped into someone. Fortunately, Qu Ke'er had been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and she could stabilize herself by ducking sideways. She couldn't help but feel a little angry. This was the inner courtyard of the house. Who would be so bold as to break in without warning. She was about to get angry and scold her, but she saw that she bumped into a strange young man.
Although this was in the Qu family's inner house, because there were only three people entering the small courtyard, there were usually a lot of neighbors coming to visit, but there were still no people who broke in directly. Qu Keer knew that this person must be unusual and not angry. What's more, she knew that if Qu Qujiji was guarding the second gate, the person he could let in would definitely not be an ordinary person. She stood at the door and looked at the boy whose chin she had hit, stroking his chin in embarrassment and looking at her.
But after a while, Qu Keer's face turned red, because the young man was not angry and was looking at her in surprise. She couldn't help but feel a little flustered. She couldn't help but look down at herself, but she didn't find anything wrong, so she couldn't help but scolded him. She asked, "Who are you! Why are you so rude?" She wondered why no one in her family followed her, and neither did Qu Quji. Look at the two people following this young man, one is a handsome man, and the other is a white-faced beardless palace man with a smile on his face.
The fair-faced and beardless palace man was about to speak, but the young man glanced at him, and he took half a step back and stopped. The young man smiled awkwardly, then saluted Qu Keer and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I was too anxious to see Master Qu, and accidentally bumped into you, little lady. Haha, I'm really embarrassed, I'm sorry! Little lady!"
The young man's apology made Qu Ke'er beside him feel embarrassed. Seeing that the young man was still staring at her, his face turned red and he didn't know whether to be angry or what to do. But I heard my brother say in the song: "Ke'er, don't be rude!" Then he saw that his brother had already come behind him, so he stepped aside and looked at the young man curiously.
After Quju saw the young man and the two people behind him, his face turned pale for a while, then he smiled and was about to salute him. But the young man first cupped his fists at Qu Ju and said, "Sorry to disturb Master Qu!" Qu Ju saw that he couldn't help but look at Qu Ke'er, so he had no choice but to call his sister over to salute the young man, and together they invited him into the room and introduced her.
When Qu Keer heard her brother say that this young man was the prince who had just been promoted by the emperor, she couldn't help but feel curious and worried about the hated King Wei whom she had heard everywhere.
It turned out that Liu Jixing knew that if he wanted to save his life in this era, he had to make preparations before Zhao Kuangyin occupied Lingnan. According to historical records, if he wanted to avoid being confused, he had to have someone work for him, so he chose Quju first.
In order to win over Qu Ju, the first thing Liu Jixing did was to run to meet his current cheap father Liu Sheng. Liu Sheng showed his affection as a father and his consistent love for King Wei. Liu Jixing used the power and influence given to him by Tao Zun in a series of lies, telling Liu Sheng that if he wanted to change the current situation of the Han Dynasty and maintain the Liu family's imperial lineage for eternity, he must implement some new measures.
Liu Sheng was deeply hit since he heard one after another that Li Jing of the Tang Dynasty was being forced by the Zhou Dynasty and was preparing to remove his imperial title and cede the land in Jiangbei to the Zhou Dynasty. After all, the Tang State has always been the most powerful in the surrounding countries. Liu Sheng thought that he had no ability to change the status quo now. The most important thing was to live in drunkenness and dream every day! So I wanted to happily hand over the stall to Liu Jixing.
So Liu Sheng gave Liu Jixing a favor that exempted Qu Ju from being castrated. The same was true for the lucky Wu Yanrou. As for Li Yi, who had already lost power when he was promoted to the fifth rank, Liu Jixing also There is no way to change it.
After Liu Jixing received Liu Sheng's oral imperial edict, he hurried to Qufu in person. He didn't expect to bump into someone from the Qu family as soon as he entered the door. Liu Jixing was afraid that something might happen to Qu Ju, so he revealed his identity and brought Xia Qinghou and Chen Yanshou in directly. He was in such a hurry that he didn't expect to bump into Qu Ke'er.
In this era, Qu Ke'er may not be considered a beauty. Although she is a commoner, she can still be regarded as a third-generation official from a famous family, let alone a child of a high-ranking official. However, people in the world have wrong aesthetics. But in Liu Jixing's eyes, she is definitely a beauty, a top beauty! And she looks very much like Weng Hong, a third-level star of her time. He couldn't help but look at it a few more times. Liu Jixing knew that his aesthetics was very questioned in this era, and there was no need to confront everyone now, so he first easily and implicitly told Qu Ju about the good things he said in front of the emperor, and about his feelings towards Qu Ju. Thoughts after the sentence.
This news was undoubtedly the greatest good news for the Qu family. Quju didn't think Liu Jixing was joking, let alone coming to deliver the letter in person, so he stood up and solemnly thanked Liu Jixing. Liu Jixing didn't care about anything. He thought of the tricks used by those in his own time to win over people and work hard for their lives, so he shamelessly sat down on the bed with his hands composing verses.
While calling Master Qu with a smile, he asked Qu Ju about his family's shortcomings. Even Liu Jixing, the Qu Su family next to him, also really praised him. At the same time, he told Quju that he liked to watch a few pets raised by Tao Zun and Immortal fight in Luofu Mountain. These pets were cranes, sika deer and the like, and they were trained by Guanmiao to be extremely obedient. Liu Jixing then talked nonsense that he wanted to recruit a group of soldiers for training. By the way, he brought some ideas and suggestions for the current army training of the Han Dynasty and some ideas and suggestions for the current army of the Han Dynasty.
Qu Ju felt a little grateful and understood that although Liu Jixing seemed to be talking nonsense, he obviously wanted him to train a group of soldiers. At the last stop on the night he returned to Beijing, Liu Jixing called a few of himself in to express his position. He was indeed a born soldier, and he immediately expressed his thoughts on being an army officer. Many of his ideas coincided with those of a modern man like Liu Jixing. Of course, they also contained his restrained thoughts as an ancient man. But as a modern person like Liu Jixing, I was very satisfied after listening to it.
So he revealed to him that he wanted to form an army for mountain warfare. Quju's grandfather, King Quhao of Jiaozhou, was originally a master of mountain warfare. Naturally, he was deeply interested in inheriting his family's knowledge. The two of them knew each other. They communicated in the inner room for nearly an hour.
There was no more noise outside because of the arrival of Liu Jixing, and everything became quiet. Even the duchess Liu was sitting there, drinking a lot of tea. She was not impatient at all. Instead, she was happy that she came at the right time, and she was also happy because she had a cup of tea. Qu Quji's delay allowed him to meet King Wei instead, and the more he looked at Qu Quji, the more pleasing he became.
Finally, someone from the palace came to send a message asking Liu Jixing to return. Because Liu Sheng wanted to celebrate Liu Jixing's appointment as the crown prince. In fact, he also wanted to show that the prince had received the teachings of the Taoist Master and could serve as the crown prince after returning to Xingwang Palace. The emperor specially ordered Honglu Temple and The Ministry of Rites held a banquet in the palace. Officials of the fifth rank and above in Beijing, envoys from neighboring countries in Beijing, and large merchants from various countries in Prince Xing's Mansion all attended with their families. Naturally, it was hoped that King Wei could return to the palace earlier to prepare.
What is surprising is that because of the consciousness and thinking of modern people, Liu Jixing saw that Qu Keer was beautiful, so he politely invited Qu Keer to go to the banquet with him. Qu Ju and his wife Qu Su were a little surprised, and even more shocked.
Liu Jixing did not pay attention to the importance of this matter, and the two people in Quju were obviously completely shocked. Perhaps out of his trust in Liu Jixing, Qu Ju knew that Liu Jixing might be just trying to win over him. He didn't want to express his gratitude to him, so he decided to take Qu Su and his sister into the palace with him.
Between heaven and earth, hell and wonderland, the Qu family feels like riding a roller coaster. Although Qu Ju is calm, he knows that his family can't stand this excitement, so he also wants to accompany his family, but he knows that since the emperor's appointment, he can't even think about it. It is quite now.
Mrs. Qu Liu respectfully waited for Liu Jixing to leave, then left the door obediently, leaving a maid behind to pass a message to Qu Ju, telling her to just ask if she needed anything.
Wu Sihu turned around and stepped into Xiaoxi Street, feeling the chill in the air. He didn't stop and moved forward, but he still felt calmer in the face of the cold. His keen senses were activated at a rapid speed, and his years of hard work and bloody probing revealed his experience advantages that benefited from the guidance of famous teachers.
He knew that there were two on the eaves on the left, three on the eaves on the right, and more than a dozen stringed bows in the pavement on the roadside, ready to launch a crazy attack on him at any time. Wu Sihu's muscles under his strong clothes were tense, like a cheetah choosing its food, ready to burst out with the strongest power and murderous intent at any time. He knew that he had encountered the biggest difficulty he had ever experienced in his life.
Just at this moment, a man whose whole body and head were covered with black cloth silently walked out of a shop with his hands behind his back. This Xiaoxi Street has been cleared, and there is not a single person on the street at this time. It is obvious that these people want to save Wu Sihu or Wu Sihu's life. This mysterious man in black stood in the middle of the road, staring at Wu Sihu with a pair of cold eyes.
About three feet away, Wu Sihu suddenly stopped. At this moment, he could clearly feel the murderous intent bursting out of this man. After so many years of survival challenges, Wu Sihu had fought no less than two hundred times, large and small. Many people who were stronger than him fell at his feet. It was because Wu Sihu had the calmness to do so. thinking.
"Wu Er, hand over our people and keep your whole body!" The man in black's voice was hoarse and arrogant. He seemed to be confident. He slowly pulled out a machete from behind, and the sharp blade flashed under the half moon. With bright light.
"Hahahahahaha", Wu Sihu burst into laughter: "Don't you find it funny? I don't care who you are, if you dare to offend the elders of our family, and more blatantly defy the laws of the court, you must realize that he has to pay Price! Look at your tone! Look at you as a master who plays with knives. You must not be an unknown person in Lingnan. Why should you hide your head and hide your tail? Haha, you want someone? Don't say it's you, it's your master, then It also depends on whether your grandpa is happy or not!" Wu Sihu wanted to completely anger the man in black.
Following the young master Wu Yanrou to meet King Wei, several of their brothers captured him alive. They were originally going to be handed over to Wu Yanrou's master, Yang Jiong, but who knew that Yang Jiong had gone to meet Xia Qinghou. As one of Liu Sheng's second servants, Yang Jiong has been in charge of Liu Sheng's famous espionage and patrol agency Jin Weizhi for more than ten years. Wu Sihu usually follows Jin Weizhi, and he is also a good captain now.
The man in black was obviously not impulsive. He stood there looking at Wu Sihu coldly, but his eyes seemed to be spitting fire. Although he was angered by Wu Sihu's arrogance, he still decisively pointed his left hand and said coldly: " You are very proud to have Sick Tiger as your backer, but I just heard that he went to see Xia Qinghou. The two are both peerless masters on the Qiyi list. It seems that he has no time to take care of you. Hum, now is the last time for you. a chance,,,,,,".
