I really don't want to be king

Chapter 29 Chapter 29 The Adventures of Zhao Zheng·Hawking

Yinshi's Taiji Palace is like a gigantic monster sleeping soundly, hiding its ferocious fangs inside.

The majestic and majestic palaces are lined up step by step, and teams of military guards shuttle through them with open flames, forming continuous winding fire dragons, which guard the entire Taiji Palace with strict barriers, as solid as gold.

Under the night, the lights of Yilan Palace had already been turned off, but a main hall was suddenly lit up.

"Ah? Your Highness? Take a break today... Do you want to get up early to study again?"

Nihuang, who was suddenly awakened, exclaimed in a low voice, she didn't expect her highness to work so hard.

"Hush! Don't tell the concubine mother."

Zhao Zheng didn't answer the question, but told the concubine not to let the concubine know about it.

Otherwise, with my concubine's abundant imagination comparable to the Oscar's best director, I might not know what to do in my mind!

After finishing speaking, without waiting for a reply, she waved her hand, turned around and left, only Nihuang was left standing in front of the door, watching His Highness's back as he walked further and further away, with an unstoppable worried look on his face.

"Has Ying'er gone far?"

The sudden sound startled Nihuang immediately, she looked back in shock, only to find that her own mother was standing behind her!

"The servants see the empress..."

Nihuang hastily saluted, her heart was throbbing non-stop, suddenly there was a nervous and exciting feeling of being caught doing bad things...

"Okay, okay, get flat."

Concubine Lan waved her hand subconsciously, but her eyes kept looking at the direction Yinger had gone away, the excitement in her expression was hard to hide.

"I knew... Ying'er is indeed the chosen one, and he is destined to win the throne! It's only Yinshi who started to study on his own early on, and even Xiu Mu has never slackened his mind!"

As she was talking, Concubine Lan seemed to have seen the moment when Ying'er ascended the throne in the future. It was a true worship of thousands of people, a great treasure from heaven!

At that moment, Ying'er walked up to the high platform majesticly, facing the ministers of the court, and told about the hardships and difficulties of his journey along the way...

In particular, it focuses on how his mother and concubine changed from an eighth-rank concubine to a third-rank concubine after going through hardships.

And how to use her resourcefulness to assist me step by step, defeating all opponents from the weakest prince, and finally ascending to the supreme position...

Facing the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, Yinger recalled the past when his mother and concubine assisted him, and couldn't help crying in public, feeling a lot of emotion...

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?"

Nihuang looked at her mother just standing there in a daze, motionless, her eyes looking into the distance, wondering if she recalled some sad past, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes.

"Oh... um? What's the matter, Ni'er?"

Concubine Lan just came back to her senses, looked at Ni'er and spoke before she could answer.

"By the way, since Ying'er is so caring, I'm afraid I'll worry about it... Then you can pretend that you don't know that I know about this matter, or simply don't let him know that I know about this matter."

After finishing speaking, she hummed a little song and went back to the room to rest, leaving only Nihuang, whose brain hadn't reacted yet, to stay in place alone, frowning her brows while wringing her fingers, repeating the instructions left by the empress before she left.

"I'm going to pretend I don't know that I know about this... Uh, then do I know or don't know?"

"Also, don't let His Highness know that I know about this... No, His Highness obviously already knows that I know about this!"

"Uh, no, that's not what the empress said. What she said was to let His Highness pretend not to know that she knew about it..."

"That's right! That's it! I also know about this, and Your Majesty also knows about this, so Your Highness must pretend to be ignorant of her knowledge of this, right?"

"Hee hee ~ Nihuang! You are so smart!"

……

"Hey hey hey..."

Zhao Zheng, who walked out of Yilan Palace, rubbed his hands excitedly, his heart full of infinite yearning for the colorful world outside.

He couldn't help being unhappy, because today was the day he had agreed with Brother Hawking to escape from the Taiji Palace!

It was at the time of Xiu Muyin today, and Hawking would carry a wooden ladder and wait outside the palace wall that had been explored in advance, just waiting for Zhao Zheng to climb up the palace wall along the soil slope and branches, and then go straight down the ladder. You're done!

Moreover, he had agreed with Hawking on the meeting code specifically for this 'adventure'.

"Xijing City, the capital of Dagan Kingdom...hehe, what does it look like?"

Excitedly, Zhao Zheng stepped up his pace, not wanting to delay for a moment, and went straight to Taixue University.

"Brother Hawking should have been waiting outside the wall, right?"

After entering the Taixue Institute, Zhao Zheng carefully avoided the night guards and went straight to the crime scene he had already investigated.

Along the way, Zhao Zheng was still beating a small drum in his heart. What if Hawking suddenly ran away and didn't come as agreed?

"Brother Hawking, he...shouldn't be this kind of person who breaks promises, right?"

Shaking his head, Zhao Zheng put all the messy thoughts in his mind behind him, and concentrated all his energy on the dirt slope in front of him!

He crossed the slope lightly, climbed up the branches, and tentatively called out to the outside of the palace wall.

"Tom! Tom! I'm Sawyer!"

This was the meeting code he had agreed with Hawking before. To be on the safe side, he deliberately chose an English code that no one in this era could understand!

No one will be able to decipher it!

"This……"

After waiting for a while but still not responding, Zhao Zheng couldn't help feeling cold. Does this Hawking really dare to tease me like this? !

Still not giving up, he continued to climb up a few more times, and then boldly shouted out with a slightly louder voice than before!

"Tom! Tom! I'm Sawyer!"

In the dark and lonely dense forest, the voice of Zhao Zheng shouting quickly dissipated without a trace. He tried his best to prick up his ears, but he still failed to hear any response!

"No way……"

A huge sense of loss made Zhao Zheng almost slip down. Could it be that he really misjudged the person?

Does this Huo Jin really dare to tease the dignified Ninth Prince like this? !

"Suo, Suoya! Suoya! I am the mother!"

Suddenly, there was an extremely awkward code sound from outside the palace wall. Zhao Zheng was overjoyed when he heard that, and continued to climb up excitedly.

"Tom! OK! OK!"

When he successfully climbed to the palace wall, through the dark night, he also saw the figure under the palace wall, trying to move the wooden ladder.

"Oh, oh ke! oh ke!"

Hawking helplessly spoke the sign with His Highness the Ninth Prince with a very substandard accent, and watched the Ninth Prince stepping down the ladder step by step, but he still couldn't understand in his heart how the Ninth Prince came up with these things that he had never heard before. A strange password!

"Haha! Great! I declare!"

When Zhao Zheng finally stepped on this piece of land exuding a breath of freedom, he couldn't help but waved his fist excitedly and said!

"The Adventures of Zhao Zheng Hawking! Start now!"

……

"When the first emperor was young, he thought about the sufferings of the people and wanted to find out the well-being of the people, but he suffered from the strict prohibition of the palace. Although he wanted to, he was not enough!

One day, Shihuang got up early at Yinshi, and went to the school to study on the day of rest.

I could have used this to get out of the imperial palace and visit the sufferings of the people, but the first emperor thought of the school rules and didn't want to make an exception, so he regretted leaving.

Chatting with the Huo brothers during class, I didn't intend to mention this matter. The eldest brother Huo Jin was greatly admired, and he cupped his hands and sighed: "His Royal Highness cares about all people, and he still does not forget to understand the people's sentiments while studying hard. This heart can be shown to the world!"How can it be limited to mere rigid school rules? '

"Hawking is not talented, and I would like to help your highness, and do the work of a dog and a horse!" '

The first emperor felt his sincerity, and after a few times of evasion, he had no choice but to accept this matter.

However, the first emperor was not far away, and the younger brother Huo Yin couldn't hold back, and his heart was burning: "Brother made a mistake!"Leaving the palace privately is a serious crime!If we help this behavior, isn't it different from asking for trouble and getting burned? '

Jin was furious, and angrily reprimanded: "Little brother is stupid!"His Highness cares about the common people, and he does not hesitate to take such a big risk to check the people's sentiments!You and I only take one or two risks, how can we be selfish, only care about being wise and protecting ourselves, and abandon the safety of all people? ! '

Yin's face turned red, he couldn't refute it, he had no choice but to hide his face and leave, but he still didn't want to take this risk together.

Jin Da sighed endlessly, and he helped each other with all his strength, and supported each other with the first emperor, which made a good story through the ages.

Later, when he became an official to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, his younger brother achieved nothing.

Therefore, when later generations commented on this matter, they often ridiculed his brother's selfish incompetence, and often praised his righteousness of sacrificing his life! "
