laughing soul

The struggle for the throne in the past dynasties has inevitably been bloody.Brothers turn against each other at every turn, loyal ministers are killed by traitors, good people are tabooed by foolish emperors, blood flows into rivers up and down Chaoge Yexian's palace, and invisible arms stretch out hundreds of miles away, enough to crush the blood on the battlefield in an instant The general is all steel and iron.

The human heart is a cannibal thing, and the desire for supreme imperial power is like adding wings to a tiger, quenching a layer of incurable Gu poison on this steel knife that tears people's flesh and blood.

One hit kills, the winner and the loser, living in this whirlpool, it is inevitable that the pride of the bamboo orchid that thinks of itself as aloof will be wet.

Some people have rivers and lakes, in the capital, where to retreat?

He was born casual and loose, and when he was born, his father had already established the crown prince. He originally thought that in this dark and turbulent battle for power, he could just hide in a corner and be an unambitious eater without any worries. The little prince of the imperial court.

Unexpectedly, man's calculation is not as good as heaven's calculation. Since he was sensible, his leisurely life, which he had carefully planned and planned, was ruined by a menacing plague and turned upside down.

One day three years ago, someone who was the first to cough lightly at the door of his house, after a few days of silence, set off a bloody plague storm.

At that time, he was still hugging left and right in the fireworks and willow alley, dying drunk in the gentle township, sleeping on the soft and tender slender arms and calves of the beautiful woman, and he did not know what day and night he was. She has perfectly played a role that is necessary in the royal family, and even betrayed her majestic and handsome image, coaxing the whole world from old women in their seventies to eighty-year-old women to infant girls. female.

However, after waking up and returning to the palace, the carefree days that he had wishfully thought would last for such a long time fell to pieces before his eyes.

The plague swept across most of the capital, and even the imperial palace was not spared. He hid in Zhaoyang Palace covered with a brocade quilt, and the maid's earth-shattering cough came from the next door.

The prince, the fifth prince Zhu Wang, the sixth prince Lin Wang, and even the princess hiding in the deep boudoir had a fever and vomiting all day and night. Before all the doctors in the world reacted and took measures, this disease crawled out of hell He took the lives of hundreds of people.

The crown prince and the king of Qian died in Huangquan, and the king of Lin recovered his life, but his brain was burned out when he was seriously ill, and he became a foolish waste who only knew how to eat, drink and let loose.The emperor's heart was devastated by this. A few days after the plague subsided, he became seriously ill and was bedridden. He struggled to vomit all the blood from his body, kicked his legs, and the fourth prince who had been left behind met the King of Hades directly.

The ignorant little prince hadn't recovered from the grief of losing his father and brother when he was hit by a decree from the former emperor, which knocked him dizzy.

"At present, you are the only King Nanxiao in the court who is worthy of such a great responsibility. The last will of the late emperor also entrusts the world to you. Looking at the current situation in the capital city, the war between the north and the south is tense, and the great event of calming down the country and restoring the old capital is imminent. Next, who is the king of Shenan Xiao?"

Qiu Sheng kept adjusting the angle of the high crown on his head, trying to keep this heavy jeweled thing from breaking his neck.A dragon robe with three layers inside and three layers outside was tightly bound around his body, which made his breathing difficult and his brain congested. He listened to the ministers' chirping noises with an unusually red handsome face.

Chirping Wai Wai, at least Qiu Sheng thinks so, like a brood of old hens chasing after his ass, screaming loudly while trying to step on his head with flapping wings to show off their might.

The situation in the DPRK and China is complicated, and he has heard about the multi-party strife, but he used to mess around with pretty girls and beautiful boys until midnight, and he never got up when he was in court.Now facing the pile of old crows in the court hall, half of them are new faces.

There was only one Jiang Chen who was still familiar.

"Your Majesty, General Han has been stationed at the border for many years. A few days ago, he sent an urgent report to inform the south of the Yangtze River that there were many casualties due to invasion by the southern barbarians. These tall, invulnerable barbarians not only treated the guards with extreme cruelty, but even passed by by chance. Tang Wok, burning, car cracking, scrubbing... all kinds of tortures are exhausted, even the civilians who have surrendered and captured are not spared.

"Your Majesty, it's time to give them some color by being so arrogant. Why don't you send more elite soldiers to reinforce General Han and kill Nanman's vigor!"

"My lord Dong, this statement is wrong. The Nanman incident has reached the point where it is not easy to freeze three feet in a day. It is not easy to completely break through this huge ice! I am afraid that it will not reduce the enemy's limelight, but it will make us bigger. Frustrated! In the opinion of the old minister, His Majesty should act more safely, first negotiate a peace with the Nanman, and then make a long-term plan after the temporary stability."

"I charge forward to young talents who are brave enough to kill the enemy. Lord Lu, shouldn't you believe in the strength of our army! What is the reason for such underestimation! Your Majesty, I heard that Cuiwei Pavilion in Kunlun Mountain has been skilled in the field for generations. Poison, if you are afraid of missing it temporarily, you can ask Cui Weige for some coups."

"Using poison is an insidious villain's plan. Da Yue is clear and upright, so he can't do such things that harm others and benefit himself. Your Majesty, I think that in the face of a big battle, food and grass must be obtained first. If there is a plan to destroy the enemy's food and grass, this battle is bound to be won."

"Well, Mr. Cai, using poison is a sinister technique, and it is a gentleman's behavior to plan and burn food and grass? On the battlefield, you don't care about much. Why are you putting on airs here? It's just adding to your majesty's worries."

"Master Wang, you..."

"Everyone, stop arguing. Your Majesty's decision is the most important."

Seeing that Wang Jiusi and Cai Du were about to quarrel in the court hall, their faces were blushing and their necks were thick, completely ignoring the little emperor on the dragon chair who was quietly painting the mural, Jiang Chen hurriedly made a sound to control the situation.

"Your Majesty," Jiang Chen looked at Qiu Sheng, "What do you think?"

Qiu Sheng looked over with a blank face. If it is said that the miraculous skill of using a living body as a mural, no one in the world would dare to compete with the current Holy Majesty.

"Are you... discussing how to deal with the granary?"

The courtiers in the palace reached a consensus this time, and gave Qiu Sheng a strange look in unison.

Qiu Sheng narrowed his eyes and sighed softly.

Oh, I guessed wrong...

"Say it again? I didn't understand." He yawned at the crowd of ministers who were staring at each other and didn't know what to do. He proved by himself that it was definitely not "not understanding" just now, but " Didn't listen."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, probably unable to remember what nonsense they babbled during the spat just now.

Jiang Chen was silent for a moment, and then took a small step out of the crowd: "Return to Your Majesty, Nanman is pressing on every step of the way, Jiangnan is at stake, and the ministers are discussing how to deal with this matter."

"Oh," Qiu Sheng lazily replied, "What did you say?"

Jiang Chen: "Returning to Your Majesty, Lord Dong advocates forceful suppression and expulsion of the southern barbarians; Lord Lu advocates a conservative policy and discusses peace first; Lord Wang intends to use Gu and poison to destroy his sanity; Lord Cai intends to burn food and grass to cut off his way out."

"Wang Jiusi, you have a very good idea...Using Gu and poison, ha..." He sneered twice in the serious and cold court hall. It's been a long time since he had the same fun in the past, and he couldn't laugh anymore, "Master Jiang , what is your opinion?"

Jiang Chen: "Returning to Your Majesty, I think that Master Dong and Master Cai's ideas should be applied to actual combat. According to Master Lu's opinion, it can be considered as a strategy to delay troops. In addition, General Gao also has battle reports. Beijing, Li Rong from the north invaded Weizhou a few days ago. Fortunately, our soldiers fought bloody battles to expel the foreign enemies. However, the Bei Rong’s invasion must have a lot of conspiracy. Unlike Jiangnan, winter is coming, and Weizhou will soon fall into a world of ice and snow Among them, if the battle is delayed for too long, Li Rong, who lives in the extremely cold place all year round, will be better able to adapt to the environment than our army, and it may not be easy to turn the tide of the battle."

He paused, then continued: "Therefore, I think that we should give priority to sending elite soldiers to Weizhou to quell Li Rong, and negotiate a peace with the Nanman for now. When there is no further trouble in the north, it will not be too late to go back and deal with the Nanman."

After he finished speaking in a few words, it seemed to be an understatement, but in fact he had exhausted the great cause that he had to work hard to accomplish in the past ten or twenty years.

Qiu Sheng didn't bother to take care of the bitterness and suffering, waved his hands and said: "I listen to you, you can arrange it." He was educated by Jiang Chen until midnight last night, and the old man calmly explained the truth to Qingfengmingyue. Qiu Sheng, who has developed a bad habit of being poetic when seeing the rare moon stars in the long-term romance, is dumbfounded and memorizes "I am ashamed of my ancestors, my crimes are too numerous to record" and other scapegoats, sullenly I fell asleep, and was picked up early the next morning, facing up with two panda eyes.

He hated this seat, this seat for people all over the world to worship.

The retribution of being worshiped by the world is to live yourself as a cold stone statue without sorrow or joy and without long-lasting possessions.

To be a good emperor, you have to have a steelyard in your heart, and with just a glance, you have to roughly grasp the character and character of the people in front of you.However, the human heart has seven orifices. Today's loyal and good people may be deceived by treacherous evil to commit serious crimes of disobedience tomorrow, and insidious and cunning people who seem to be betrayed by others may not be without unspeakable difficulties.What's more, if you are a wise king, even if the ministers expose those pains that have been carefully hidden for countless years without any cover, pointing at the emperor's nose and scolding him for being a black sheep, he still has to praise the "loyal minister" like a good man.

He is still a young man, but the mountain-like burden is crushed down like this. There are not many stories about such a bloody forest for thousands of years.Some people endured it and survived against the cold wind and rain, their spines gradually bent, and they could always fight for their lives; One body, worshiped by people from generation to generation, blessed to enjoy after death.

If Qiu Sheng is one of the two, then there is nothing to worry about.But he is a maverick, and he has to separate himself from the crowd.A plague didn't break him down, and he certainly won't be able to listen to politics. It's just that this little thing has a self-willed and self-willed temper since he was a child, and he is used to being free and easy, and he doesn't just break it.

Jiang Chen looked at him lazily squinting his eyes, realized that there would be endless troubles in driving the ducks to the shelves, and was a little worried about whether he could successfully complete the task assigned by the late emperor.

"Okay, let's go back if you have nothing to do."

Qiu Sheng looked at Qi Qi's courtiers kneeling at his feet, feeling inexplicably anxious.

These people seem to be respectful to themselves, but how many of them really think about this court and this country?

He raised his hands to cover his face, looked up after a long time, and saw Jiang Chen still standing in the hall.

"Master Jiang, what else can I teach you?" He became a little impatient, and with a wave of his hand, he tore off the seemingly useless Eguan.

Jiang Chen looked at him quietly, thinking about what he did before and after, and felt that he might have acted too hastily.

"It will be Lidong in two days. It is the birthday after all. If Your Majesty wants to leave the palace, I will not stop you."

Qiu Sheng was taken aback for a moment, and didn't answer for a while.

"Since your Majesty ascended the throne, he has been ill and unable to attend the court. He must not know much about the situation in the court. Taking this opportunity, I will try my best to inform you in detail." Jiang Chen saw that young man's expression on his face. Being young and immature, she softened her tone, "Your Majesty, what are your plans?"

Qiu Sheng's face collapsed.He finally understood that becoming an emperor was like becoming a criminal of the highest standard, and he would have to talk about it when he went out to relax.

"Okay, then let me think about it..."

Chu Yu stayed in Xu Liushan's clinic for a full twelve days. During this period, the grandmother next door mended his clothes and sewed a new set for him. The corpses who had traveled far were buried on the green hills alright.Even though time was pressing, Pavilion Master Chu still kept the promise he made casually.But on the morning of the No. 13th day, he finally found out a little taste slowly.

It's not that I fooled others, but that the other party released his pigeons!

So Pavilion Master Chu complained indignantly that the world was declining and people's hearts were not old, but he completely forgot the immoral things he had done and had no intention of repenting.

"Xu Liushan, my two... those two passers-by probably won't be able to come, I'd better go to the capital by myself," Chu Yu said while watching the gloating smile on Xu Liushan's face gradually widen, and finally he couldn't hold back Stopped, and let out a few extremely suppressed laughter, "Don't laugh at me, be careful that I will poison you...Then let's stay here, and you can call me when your skin is itchy."

The old turtle spirit's face and guts are not covered, he finished laughing to himself, and heartlessly forgot about the two children who ran away for him temporarily, then got serious and prepared to talk about business. He completely ignored the threat of Chu Yu's loud thunder and little rain. "Be careful, I'll poison you", Chu Yu said countless times in more than ten days, but he, Xu Liushan, is still alive and well.

"You can go as soon as you go to the capital, but the best doctors in the capital are all in the palace without exception. How do you plan to enter the palace? Become a eunuch?" Accepting Chu Yufei's sharp eye, Xu Liushan rubbed the tip of his nose Said, "Let's not talk about this first, this is your own business, anyway, the Cui Wei Chu family will not end. Chu Yu, you just put your rotten bones like this? Senior Chu Mu's resistance to medical skills should not happen to you, You'd better cut the bones and clear the blood earlier, it's too late, I'm not sure."

When he was talking, Chu Yu kept looking into his eyes, and the corners of his eyes trembled slightly until the second half of the sentence was spoken.If he hadn't mastered this person's characteristic of being unmoved even when the sky fell in the past few days, he wouldn't have noticed such a small change at all.

Xu Liushan keenly noticed the dodge of Chu He's eyes.

"Chu Yu?" He asked incredulously, "Aren't you planning to ignore it? Just because of your physical condition, you can't last the four years of senior Chu Mu. In the few months before your final death, your body will Some completely unpredictable changes have occurred, what if something goes wrong? Are you carrying it alone? Gu Wei is not here, can you bear it?"

Chu Yu caught the worry in the old man's eyes, bit his lip, and didn't intend to speak.

"You have to go to the capital. I don't care what you want to do. Do you want me to die like this? Senior Chu Mu almost fought with me for the rest of his life because of his medical skills. I have no ability to save him. And you ..." The glasses on the bridge of Xu Liushan's nose almost couldn't hang on with his body trembling slightly, "Chu Yu, even if you are not the owner of Cuiwei Pavilion, as a doctor, I will not let you mess around!"

He was a little too emotional and had to stop to take a few breaths: "You obviously don't want to die, why did you do this?"

Chu Yu obviously didn't expect Xu Liushan to be so concerned about this matter. He lowered his eyebrows and organized his words, and then said after a long time of deliberation: "Xu Liushan, I've remembered a lot of things from my past life recently, but most of them are in a mess, and even belong to which I don’t know anything in my first life. It’s like...every picture in every life was cut and thrown to me arbitrarily, without logic and order. With these limited memories, I understand...uh..."

He raised his head and glanced at Xu Liushan in embarrassment: "I think it may be time to make some changes, and I can't survive this kind of change. Kunlun who has been bound by this for thousands of years The people of the mountain need a complete relief and freedom...I don't want to die, but sometimes the situation forces me to..."

"You fart!" Xu Liushan, who was furious, blocked Chu Yu's words directly with a rude sentence, "I have to die? Thank you for thinking it out! There is no unparalleled road, as long as you want to live, there must be a way to reverse the situation Yes, no matter who caused this situation, you can destroy him and eliminate him, I don't believe it..."

"What if," Chu Yu interrupted him softly, "I am the one who caused this situation? What if I want this?"

He smiled slightly: "My death is the last step in the situation within my expected range. I don't want to die, but at least so far, I haven't thought of any other better way."

Xu Liushan was also a little stunned: "What exactly do you want?"

"Xu Liushan...tell me first, why did you leave Cui Wei?"

Chu Yu's thinking was so detached, Xu Liushan almost didn't come back to his senses: "You say me? I'm ashamed to say... Senior Chu Mu resisted medical skills, saying that he had tarnished Cui Wei's ambition for thousands of years, but I saved people Sincerely, he mentioned to him many times to use medical skills to save his life, and then..."

"I understand," Chu Yu nodded, "It can be seen that you have deep feelings for Cui Wei, but you are willing to leave it for the sake of medical skills. Medical skills are to you, and this is to me. No matter who it is, no matter who What's the matter, you can't stop me."

Throughout the ages, who has not been persistent and stubborn?A man is nothing but a lowly worm if he loses all this steel nail in his backbone.

Investigate its beginning and end, and why, who can tell clearly?

Xu Liushan was silent for a long time, finally got up silently, and said in a muffled voice: "There is a shortcut to the capital in the southwest of Huadu, which passes through a bamboo forest, but there are many bandits in the mountain forest, so we must be more careful."

Chu Yu laughed in relief: "Are you worried about my skills?"

Stopping the smile, Xu Liushan's familiar indifference appeared on his face again: "You'd better worry about them, don't let them all die at my hands."
