there is a king in the palace

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Get up~"

When Zhao Xianao opened his eyes, he was in Qianqing Palace.

Isn't he in Hutou Mountain?

It turned out to be a dream...

Zhao Xianao heaved a sigh of relief, and was about to sit up, but found that his belly was bigger than the empress's!

After he passed out, the little fat tiger took him back to the palace!In this look!

"Your Majesty, are you awake?"

It was the bald-headed Manager Li, holding a bowl of decoction in his hand, "It's time to drink anti-fetal medicine."

Fetal medicine!

"I don't want to drink it!" Zhao Xianao knocked over the bowl of soup and medicine, and then he heard Director Li say to the person standing behind the curtain, "You have a bad temper during pregnancy, come and persuade the emperor."

The person behind the curtain slowly came out, "Your Majesty, if you are not doing good to the baby in your womb, I said you should learn from other queens about miscarriage. Come here, here is another bowl."

"I——" Zhao Xianao looked at the big pot of anti-fetal medicine in the king's hand, and suddenly felt a pain in his stomach, and he couldn't help crying out.

"Your Majesty! Is it about to give birth! Quickly call the midwife and the imperial doctor over!"

The king asked Manager Li, "How should I live?"

Mr. Li touched his bare head, "Use a knife to cut open the belly, and the child will be fine."

"I will not give birth! I will not give birth!"

The king knelt on the side of his bed, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I really envy you for being able to give birth to babies~"

Zhao Xianao looked at him, "Envy! Envy your next life!"

"If I can give birth, I will give birth for you. Isn't that impossible? Don't be afraid, my majesty. I will always be by your side." The midwife and the imperial physician moved out of the way.

"I can't give birth!" Zhao Xianao held the king's hand anxiously, "Yuan Huan! I can't give birth! No! I can give birth! Don't cut open my stomach!"

"Your Majesty! Hey! Zhao Xianao!"

Zhao Xian'ao opened his eyes suddenly, it was pitch black, only a vague figure was slapping his face hard.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?"

Zhao Xianao touched his stomach subconsciously, it was flat there.

Finished giving birth?So fast?

No, it's a dream!

"My... my stomach... is it okay..."

The king hurriedly comforted him, "It's all right, I know what that bead is."

Zhao Xianao sat up slowly, took a deep breath, threw the incomparably real dream out of his mind, and asked sideways, "What is it?"

The king picked up the torn book in his hand, "I found a sealed book in that cabinet. It says, his name is Wen Sheng. There are many characters I don't understand. Come and see."

It's good to have no children, Zhao Xianao took the book, "Wen Sheng is born from the mellow energy of heaven and earth, the magic weapon of the Ascendant Star King, can watch the evil thoughts of immortals, gods, demons, and illusions, and can transform everything in the world. The battle between immortals and demons, The Heavenly Palace falls, the birth falls, the consciousness is extinguished, and then it becomes a stubborn spirit, a pearl without an owner, my life is transformed into a form to forget worries, and finally it is difficult to form into a bone, so I will seal it into the town spirit box."

The king unexpectedly understood everything. Holding the bead, he smiled and asked, "Can this thing turn into a human?"

The little beads were white and soft, like a Lantern Festival, rolling around in his palm, the king thought it was very cute.

want to eat.

The king poked the little bead, and began to talk to himself in Zhao Xianao's eyes, "Let me see if you change." have eaten!"

The king babbled for a long time, Wen Sheng white light flashed, and he turned into a man. The man was wearing a light blue robe, with a pair of white tassels tied around his waist, and his long black hair was tied up with a jade belt. Her skin glowed like snow in the dark stone cave, and her pure eyes were slightly raised, with a hint of charm.

"Wow..." the king exclaimed.

Zhao Xianao was exhausted physically and mentally that night. Leaning on the stone wall, his gaze swept past the man transformed by Wen Sheng, and landed on the king who was staring at him with his face in his hands. He sighed deeply, "My eyes are about to fall out... I've lived so long that I can see everything..."

The king stared at the man, and pulled Zhao Xianao's arm with his hands, "Do you think this is Wangyou? He is so good-looking."

Zhao Xianao lazily raised his hand, "You should let him change back..."

"Oh..." Zhao Xianao was not interested, and the king was not so excited. He said to Wen Sheng, "Can you take human form? Your own appearance."

There was another flash of white light, and the man who looked like a banished fairy instantly turned into a baby carved with jade, about one or two years old, which should be the age of infancy, but the baby stood firmly on the ground, with bare feet Da Da ran to the side of the stone bed, raised his head to look at Zhao Xianao, and called out crisply, "Mother!"

Zhao Xianao stared at the boss, and looked at the king in disbelief, "Is he calling me?"

"What's that called, baby bird complex, he probably thinks of you as his mother, why don't you give birth to him too."

"I! When did you give birth to him!"

A narrow smile flashed across the king's eyes, "Didn't you just shout that I will not give birth to me?"

Zhao Xianao blushed and didn't know what to say for a while.

Wen Sheng was still calling him, but his small arms like lotus roots stretched out towards him, "Mom!"

As soon as Zhao Xianao thought of that incomparably clear dream, he couldn't bear him calling his mother, so he shouted viciously, "Shut up!"

Wen Sheng's mouth shrunk, and he burst into tears.

His Majesty still wanted to eat him when he saw his original form, but now that he looked at Wen Sheng who looked like a baby, he only liked it. He just liked the little baby very much, "Don't cry, don't cry, come, Daddy hugs you."

Wen Sheng was still crying, Zhao Xianao couldn't take it anymore, covered his ears and went into the secret room inside, he didn't care if it was dirty or not, he just lay down on the bed.

The king laughed loudly, hugging Wen Sheng in circles, Wen Sheng has been covered in dust for thousands of years, he has long forgotten the past, the only thing he remembers is the appearance of Wang You, at this moment he is like a newborn baby, the king teased him, He giggled.

"Your Majesty, look at him smiling, so cute!"

Zhao Xianao has already fallen asleep, it can be seen that he is really tired.

The king glanced at him, didn't have the heart to disturb him, wrapped Wen Sheng in the robe that had wrapped the bones, and took him outside to play.

When Zhao Xianao got up, it was already bright outside, and a ray of light shone in from the entrance of the cave.

"Yuan Huan?"

Hearing the sound, the king carried Wen Sheng into the secret room, "You are awake, let's go down the mountain quickly, we are hungry."

Zhao Xianao was also hungry, "Okay... But, how will he deal with it?"

The king pursed his lips and begged, "Take him back...he is quite pitiful..."

"..." Looking at those two pairs of pitiful eyes, Zhao Xianao took a deep breath, "How do you bring it back? You said we found a baby? On the mountain?"

Wen Sheng instantly turned into that soft white bead and fell into the hands of the king. The king smiled, "That's all."

Zhao Xianao couldn't refuse.

After the two came out of the cave, the door of the secret room was closed again. Zhao Xianao patted the heavy package, very satisfied with the results of his robbery on the mountain this time.

"You're going too far, steal your house."

"Anyway, no one will use it."

The two looked at each other, were silent for a moment, and laughed at the same time.

"Developed."

"Yup."

When the two were about to leave Hutou Mountain, the people from Hutou Mountain rushed over one after another, "My lord! Do you want to go?"

The king nodded, although he hated them very much, but he hated Zhao Xianao even more.

"Don't worry, there will be no more hunters going up the mountain in the future. If you want to follow me, you can. I promise to make you eat and drink hot."

They all have their own ethnic group in Hutou Mountain, unlike the Great King, who can go anywhere with light hands and feet, so they cannot do without Hutou Mountain.

Before leaving, the king said, "Qingmang, there is a tombstone to the east, please help me look after it."

As a cold-blooded animal, the green python seemed sentimental at the moment, "Understood...Your Majesty, you should come back often."

"Ok!"

Zhao Xianao watched the king walk side by side to a group of animals of all kinds, and heaved a long sigh. This would have been last year, and he might have been scared to death by such a scene.

Fortunately, there is a step-by-step process.

When walking down the mountain, Zhao Xianao asked the king, "Didn't you always want to go back to Hutou Mountain?"

The king felt a little heavy, "I don't have anything to play here anymore."

This sentence contains a lot of deep meaning, and Zhao Xianao condensed it to say, "We, Yuan Huan, have seen the big world, and now we are tigers in the city."

The king was amused by him, "That's right, my king's Hutou Mountain looks the most beautiful in my dream."

When the two returned to Lianhua County, they didn't go to the government office immediately, but found a restaurant and ordered a table of delicious dishes. Zhao Xianao was really hungry, otherwise he wouldn't have passed out so easily last night , he didn't care about whether the bowls and chopsticks were clean, he squeezed a steamed bun with his bare hands, took a big bite, and reached out for the soup bowl after he finished biting.

The king stopped him, "This is not for you."

"Ok?"

The king blew the soup to cool down, took out Wen Sheng from his cuff, and put him into the soup bowl, "That's great~"

"..."

Zhao Xianao was very curious and couldn't help asking, "You like him that much?"

"Of course, not only I like it, but you also like it."

"Why?"

The king took it for granted, "You are Wen Sheng's mother, isn't it right for a mother to love children?"

Zhao Xianao didn't listen to his nonsense, and only asked what he wanted to ask. He raised his head, looked around, and said in a low voice, "Will he...Wen Sheng, live a little more than 1?"

The king did not hesitate, "Of course, he is a magic weapon. Although the aura is thin now, as long as there is still aura, he will be able to live."

"That's it..." It's good, he will die sooner or later, and Wen Sheng and Yuan Huan can also be his companions.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xianao smiled, "Then take him back... But, you have to listen to my arrangement, and let him stay like this for a while."

"Yeah!" The king nodded vigorously.

After eating and drinking, the king followed Zhao Xianao back to the yamen, and only then remembered to tell Zhao Xianao what he had seen and heard at the county magistrate's house.

Zhao Xianao kept praising him for his cleverness, cleverness, and incredibleness.

The king's praise is almost floating.

The guards had already locked the county magistrate's family and Duan Ming in the house, seeing Zhao Xianao came back, Sun Chang rushed to greet him, "Master."

"Ah."

Seeing that Zhao Xianao was fine, Sun Chang turned to the king and said, "Mr. Yuan."

These guards are not like Director Li, they were all single-handedly picked up by Zhao Xianao, and they are only loyal to him. To them, it is reasonable for Zhao Xianao to go to great lengths to find a eunuch.

Whatever the emperor does is right.

"Where are they kept?"

Sun Chang led him over there, "The dog officer's wife and two daughters were locked up alone by his subordinates. Last night, the three of them fought fiercely. The dog bit the dog's mouth and spit out a lot of filth. thing."

Zhao Xianao sneered, "Post up a notice saying that the county magistrate is corrupt and accepting bribes, and the Chang'an Yushi doctor will try it himself, and the suffering people can testify in court."

"This subordinate will do it."

Trial after trial, private revenge must be avenged.

Zhao Xianao ordered the guards to open the door, looked at the two men and a woman whose heads were bleeding, and the crying child squatting there, "Take that child out."

"Yes."

After the child was taken away, Zhao Xianao and the king walked in, and the king pointed at Duan Ming, "The brothel he took me to."

Zhao Xianao took out the sword from the guard's waist and handed it to the king, "Go and chop off his hand."

The king nodded, and watched the guard raised his chin at Duan Ming, looking quite dignified, "Hold it for me."

Duan Ming was so frightened that he knelt down and begged for mercy, "Forgive the pariah! The pariah will never dare again!"

"What are you thinking?" The king felt disgusted when he thought of what he said in his ear, not to mention beheading his hands, he would even pull out his tongue!

The guard took the order, ruthlessly grabbed Duan Ming's hand and pressed it to the ground, turning his head to the side to avoid it.

In fact, the guards didn't really believe that the king would chop off his hand. After all, the king looked like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old eunuch, so how could he have such courage.

When he killed someone for the first time, he had a nightmare.

The guards didn't know that, in the King's eyes, people were the same as rabbits, black bears, he had never hurt anyone before, but he just believed the rumors that human flesh was sour and unpalatable.

"Hold it down."

Duan Ming was physically weak, even if he struggled desperately, he couldn't break free from the guard's restraint, his palm was firmly pressed on the ground, "Sister! Help me, save me!"

After all, he was his own younger brother, Duan Qing rushed towards him, trying to knock away the guards, but the county magistrate shrank aside, fighting with Duan Ming all night, he was exhausted.

Zhao Xianao kicked Duan Qing away, "Hurry up."

The king had never used a sword before, he was a little rusty, but he cut off four of Duan Ming's fingers with a single swing of the sword. The ten fingers connected to the heart, and Duan Ming screamed in pain.

The king frowned, raised his sword again, "Wait, I'll do it again."

The guard grinned and moved his hand back, for fear that the king would cut him.

terrible.

This time the king mastered the technique, easily chopped off Duan Ming's hand, smiled in satisfaction, turned to look at Zhao Xianao, and asked politely, "Can you pull out his tongue?"

Zhao Xianao smiled, "Of course."

Tongue cutting is too dirty, Zhao Xianao will not let him do it himself, save the interrogation for the county magistrate to carry out the execution together.

Soon, the courtroom was surrounded by common people. Zhao Xianao sat on a chair with the four large characters hanging above his head in a mirror, which was not as ironic as before, and the common people talked a lot.

Zhao Xianao picked up the gavel and slapped it suddenly, "Quiet."

All of a sudden, the sparrow fell silent.

Zhao Xianao didn't know what to do sitting in this position, he cleared his throat, "Bring that dog official here."

Just barely deal with it.

The county magistrate obviously doesn't know how to be a qualified corrupt official. The people complained about him, imposed taxes, covered up corruption, and sentenced countless unjust cases. What's more, he allowed his brother-in-law to murder and set fire, rob people's daughters, and occupy people's land, a lot of mess , Zhao Xianao got a headache when he heard it, he just blamed Lianhua County as a small place, and his people couldn't care about it at all.

Maybe this is the case in other places... How to fix it...

Forget it, don't think about it, let Wang Duan do it later.

After sorting out the evidence, Zhao Xianao slapped the gavel and directly sentenced the county magistrate's family and Duan Ming to death.

At this time, the common people began to plead with Zhao Xianao, "Master Yushi, the wife of the dog official is a good person, they are innocent." "Yes! They were also persecuted by the Duan sister and brother!"

Zhao Xianao forgot about it for a moment, "Then follow the public opinion and pardon the wife and the two daughters."

"Master Censor is wise!"

Zhao Xianao laughed, "The emperor is wise."

The people knelt on the ground one after another, shouting, "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

Hearing that he was going to be pardoned, the eyes of the magistrate who had been silent all this time lit up, his lips trembled slightly, and he hesitated for a moment, "My lord...that five-year-old child of the untouchables is also innocent, I implore my lord to spare his life!"

Zhao Xianao didn't say a word, and waved someone to drag him down. This case ended here.

After leaving the court, the king, who watched the whole process from the sidelines, asked him, "Is that child going to be killed too?"

"Do you think you shouldn't kill him?"

The king didn't know, "I don't think he did anything wrong."

Zhao Xianao also understood this reason, "But I killed his parents and relatives, what should he do if he grows up in the future and seeks revenge from me?"

The kings of all dynasties have done this to avoid future worries. There are also historical records. When the king stole the house of a corrupt official, he was merciful and let go of the three children. Many years later, the three children grew up, disguised as court ladies and eunuchs, sneaked into the palace and assassinated that king.

If it wasn't for those people's intercession, and the county magistrate's two daughters hated him, they should have been killed.

Your Majesty thought about it, what Zhao Xianao said made sense, "Okay, I understand."

Zhao Xianao pursed his lips and pinched his face.

One day, someone will really solve these problems, but Zhao Xianao feels that he may not have the ability, or that the time has not yet come.

On the same day, Zhao Xianao took the king back to Chang'an, and the follow-up matters in Lianhua County were handed over to Sun Chang.

He came in a hurry and returned comfortably. The king was lying in the carriage with his legs crossed, leisurely eating the fried chestnuts he bought outside, "Why do you think Mr. Li hates me so much?"

"It's not that he hates you." Zhao Xianao sighed, even Director Li reacted so strongly, he didn't know what those ministers would be like.

Maybe they will queue up and crash to death at the gate of the palace.

In fact, the king also knew what Manager Li was thinking, "We can't get married, right?"

"can."

"Don't lie to me, I'm a man, if I were a woman..." The king paused, then sat up suddenly, "That's right! Or I'll dress up as a woman!"

Looking at his white and tender face, Zhao Xianao raised the corners of his mouth, "Your hair is too short and you are too tall, what should I do?"

The king took off his hat and fiddled with his messy hair, "Look at it."

Zhao Xianao watched.

The king led the hot air in his body to climb up to the top of his head, and his whole body was exerting force, his face was pinched together, "Mmm..."

"You look so like... pull, no, drop..." Zhao Xianao closed his mouth, staring blankly at his growing hair.

"How did you do it?"

The king smiled proudly, "Hey, I'm also a tiger spirit anyway, so what's the point of changing my hair out."

Zhao Xianao took out a chestnut from the paper bag, "Turn it into gold for me."

The king scratched his hair and smiled coquettishly, "This, maybe not."

"...So Tiger Spirit, you can only grow your hair?"

The king stretched out his hand, "It stands to reason that fingernails are also acceptable."

Zhao Xianao sighed, peeled off the chestnut skin and stuffed it into his mouth, "Eat it."

However, his words are still worth considering. Go back and ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make some women's clothes to wear.

The carriage traveled unhurriedly for three full days before returning to Chang'an. His Majesty was already gearing up and thinking about how to pluck Director Li's hair. However, as soon as he returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, His Majesty looked at the bald-headed Director Li. ,Stunned.

Could it be that he is so powerful?

Zhao Xianao didn't expect Manager Li to shave his hair either.

Originally, when the eunuchs reached their age, they would either be buried or leave the palace. As early as the previous emperor, the idea of ​​burial was abolished, and most of the eunuchs who left the palace chose to live in monasteries near Chang'an, hoping to get spiritual comfort and relief. It is also a disgraceful thing for the ancestors to be an eunuch, not to mention cutting off children and grandchildren, so many eunuchs will give some incense money to the temple before leaving the palace, or raise funds to build a temple.

There are also a few eunuchs with high status who will go out of the palace to find a good place to build a house and use their savings to spend their old age. Zhao Xianao thought that Director Li would do the same.

"The slave knows that he is guilty, and is willing to shave off his hair and spend the rest of his life praying for the late emperor, hoping that the emperor will make it happen."

Zhao Xianao looked at him and nodded slightly.

He has feelings for Manager Li.

"Your Majesty, this servant has something to say."

"You say so."

There was no sound in the Qianqing Palace. Director Li raised his head, looked at the king, and shifted his gaze to Zhao Xianao, "The emperor and the former emperor are really similar in some ways. They like tigers the same, and they even go away. way."

There was something in his words, which caused Zhao Xianao to recall the events of his father's life.

In Zhao Xianao's memory, General Hu stayed in the Tiger Pavilion until his father died, and General Tiger buried him.

Before the death of the father, the burial was abolished. Therefore, there were only the father and General Hu in the imperial tomb.

Perhaps General Tiger is the same as Dawang.

Zhao Xianao faintly understood the meaning of Manager Li's words.

He looked at the king who was standing aside and didn't know what to think, and smiled.

He and his father are only similar in some places, and the road is made by himself.
