Clear water and jade in the Red Chamber

Someone dragged Xiren out and sold him. If you want to blame Xiren, blame this Xiren for being Mrs. Wang's confidant. She deserves to follow the wrong master!

In Qiyue Palace, in Chongwu Hall, Pu Chen was discussing matters with some confidant ministers.

"This king helped the Fire Lotus Sect regain its strength, but unexpectedly, the entire army was wiped out." Pu Chen said with a straight face, "Can the escaped leaders be dealt with?"

"If you return to the prince, all of them have been executed to avoid future troubles!" A minister with the appearance of a military general stood up and replied: "You don't need to worry, the fire lotus sect was originally recruited by them, and they were all recruited by Shui Chao and Qiyue voluntarily. Even if all the civilians are broken, the foundation of Qiyue will not be shaken." Just looking at the court clothes, one can tell that his rank is not low, and he is Liu Hanchi, Qiyue's military marshal.

"That's right!" Pu Chen moved the map on the table, frowned and said, "Although they only donated some money, the leaders all have our marks, I don't know if Shui Qingchuan has found out. "

"My lord, at the time, the old minister was responsible for secretly contacting the head of the Fire Lotus Sect, and gave a total of five marks, but only the leader of the Fire Lotus Sect knew that the marks were related to the lord, and he has now been executed. Furthermore, Shui Qingchuan put After being tortured to death, he searched the believers wantonly in Shuizhao territory in anger. It can be seen that there is nothing wrong with it. Even if he got the mark, he couldn't think of Qiyue. The Firearms Camp was bought by the Fire Lotus Sect. There is no need to get involved. At the beginning, Prince Zhongshun had two coins in the news building in Suzhou, for them to pass the news smoothly when they entered the country. Now that they are scattered, although it is all because of the uselessness of the old thing, there is no need to worry about it now." The hands sat down An old minister with a long beard is Du Yi Nian, Prime Minister Zuo.He twirled his beard and analyzed and thought: "As long as the Shui Dynasty does not defend against Qiyue, there will still be opportunities in the future! Now Qiyue has a strong army, but Shui Dynasty, after all, the emperor is weak, and has been emptied for so many years!"

"I originally didn't expect the Fire Lotus Sect to occupy the capital of Shui Dynasty. I wanted to massacre and burn the granary in the capital, while the firearms battalion severely damaged the defense of the capital and surrounding counties! In this way, Shui Qing Sichuan needs to urgently mobilize food and grass from various local garrisons to Beijing. At that time, the Qiyue army hidden around the border will rush in in one fell swoop, and they will be caught off guard! Another Xiluo country will send troops to attack! Such a good plan, no matter how bad it is, can also send the water to the south of the Yangtze River Most of the land of fish and rice is included!... Alas, it really is a mob!" Pu Chen thumped the dragon case hard.

At this moment, the little eunuch at the door opened the palace door and walked in quickly with his head down, knelt down and said: "I want to report to the lord, the queen has not eaten or drank for two days..."

"You bastard! How do you guys wait on me!" Pu Chen heard this, it's okay, Luo Yun's body can't stand it without eating or drinking for two days!He has been busy with government affairs for the past two days, so he didn't go to see it.

"My... my lord, the slaves were begging on their knees, but the lady didn't even look at her. The lady said... that if she was not allowed to see the king, she would go on a hunger strike and kill herself..." The little eunuch cried and returned tremblingly. .

After hearing this, all the ministers present were in an uproar and discussed in low voices.

Pu Chen's heart ached, and his heart ached, because Luo Yun didn't cherish her body, and because Luo Yun had other men in her heart.The memorial in his hand had already been pinched into a bunch of folds... After a long while, Fang suppressed his soreness, and said: "Order Jinyue to serve the empress and go to Mingjue Hall..."

"Yes! My lord!" The little eunuch felt relieved, kowtowed and was about to get up.

"Wait!" Pu Chen suddenly shouted: "There is only half an hour!"

"Yes! Yes!" The little eunuch kowtowed again and quickly backed away.

With the closing of the hall door, the discussion gradually stopped, and there was silence in the hall.

"My lord, after all, the queen is the princess of the water dynasty, and she is also the queen, she is definitely not a good match for the lord!" It was Taiwang Jing'an who spoke: "The lord has delayed the plan for many years because of this woman. The Lotus Sect had already taken advantage of the vacancy when the Shui Dynasty was prosperous! At that time, there were still many people who believed in the Shui Dynasty, so they could take advantage of it, but it's a pity... If there are other troubles caused by her, it might delay It's a big deal!"

"Uncle Wang, I know this well, Uncle Wang doesn't need to worry. The harem is surrounded by iron walls like iron walls, news can't get in or out, and the people who serve are all my confidantes..." Pu Chen threw away the wrinkled paper in his hand: "This king warns you again, no matter when it is, you are not allowed to hurt your empress!"

"Yes..." All the ministers did not dare to say any more, they all bowed their heads in agreement.

Back then, King Xiyue died of illness on the battlefield without any last words. According to the system, the prince Puxian who stayed in the capital inherited the throne.After succeeding to the throne, the first decree was to cease the war and restore the two countries.

Since Pu Chen was fifteen or sixteen years old, he went to war together with the former king and made a lot of military exploits. He was fully convinced that his father would pass the throne to him in the end, and continue the unfinished great cause of conquering the Central Plains!Unexpectedly, before his death, the late king kept repenting, regretting that he should have exhausted the power of the country and his own life.He ordered Pu Chen to assist Pu Xian in a good life, not to fight and expand the territory, but to let the people live and work in peace and contentment.

But Pu Chen, who is very ambitious and belligerent, can't let it go like this!Together with the generals and soldiers who are red-eyed by the battle, they still stubbornly stand at the forefront.He also didn't want to go back and kowtow to Brother Wang!After so many years of fighting, he only ended up with a prince who assists the government. He is not reconciled, really not reconciled!

But Puxian is a legitimate prince, and there is nothing wrong with his ascension to the throne. At that time, Qiyue was really empty-handed, and the decision to cease the war won him the approval of many ministers and people!No matter how unwilling Pu Chen is, there is nothing he can do...

The No. 12 gold medal for Pu Xian's withdrawal arrived at the same time as King Jing'an's secret letter.Tai Wang is the late king's half-brother, who has always been the leader of the war, but in his letter he persuaded Pu Chen to lead his troops back to Qiyue.Firstly, Pu Xian had already ordered to cut off the supply of food and grass for the army, and the people in the country also supported the truce. If this stalemate continued, Pu Chen would lose in the end.Secondly, Pu Xian has already proposed to Shui Chao to marry the princess, so he might as well take this opportunity to recuperate in secret, prepare his troops, wait for his vitality to recover, kill Shui Chao's princess to sacrifice the flag, and go out again!The princess was killed, even if she came to Shui Dynasty, she would never accept Pu Xian's peace talks again.

After thinking about it, Pu Chen had no choice but to return to the court as a teacher, and pleaded guilty to resisting the decree, and was punished by the military law of two hundred army sticks.

Since then, he has been a virtuous king to assist the government, respects the king's will everywhere, and never monopolizes power.Pu Xian thought that his younger brother had really changed, so he was very pleased, cherished and cared for him, and hoped that the brothers would work together to prosper Qiyue's economy and create a peaceful and stable prosperity for the people.Secretly, Pu Chen built his own circle of influence, and took advantage of Pu Xian's poor health and trust in him to slowly introduce his cronies into important positions in the court.

The big ship of the Shui Dynasty royal family brought Shui Luoyun, the emperor's own sister, Princess Shuning.

As a welcoming envoy, Pu Chen's heart was lost to this Shui Luoyun who was as warm as the sun, as beautiful as the morning glow, as compassionate as a god, and as pure and flawless as a saint...

Until now, Pu Chen can still remember her hairstyle when she disembarked, and her red phoenix-embroidered dress. It seems that a strand of hair was blown off by the sea breeze, and he reminded the accompanying maid to help tidy it up.

On the day to be married, the king and queen could not meet each other, so Pu Chen, the welcoming envoy, went between the palace and the temporary palace.Chatting with her, I realized that she is so knowledgeable; getting along with her, I knew that her every frown and smile could make my heart ache...

083 An Encounter on a Narrow Road at Baochai Liancui Pavilion

Pu Xian's health has always been poor. Since he came to the throne, he has been busy with government affairs, and his condition has worsened.And Luo Yun, who was not an ordinary boudoir girl, read the memorials with Pu Xian at the beginning, and later handled government affairs alone, solving most of Pu Xian's hardships.What's more valuable is that whenever the interests of the two countries are involved, she can always reasonably balance the relationship between the two sides and find the best compromise.Because he felt sorry for his wife's fatigue, Pu Xian ordered Pu Chen to assist the queen and hand over some chores that did not require her to make decisions in person. If there is anything that needs to be decided, just come and ask for instructions.

Gradually, the two of them had a tacit understanding in government affairs, and in the small talk, it was often that Luo Yun was about to open her mouth, and Pu Chen had already guessed what she was going to say.Although there is a surge of love, Luo Yun always acts as the king's sister-in-law, serving the king wholeheartedly, reconciling the conflicts of interests between the two countries, and never overstepping the rules.Regardless of everyone's persuasion, Pu Chen continued to plan secretly, but postponed the plan to seize the palace again and again, just to see Luo Yun's smiling face every day.However, due to Pu Chen's negligence, this delicate balance was accidentally broken by a report from a local official who discovered the gathering of members of the Fire Lotus Sect.Luo Yun informed Pu Xian immediately after learning about it, and Pu Xian ordered an envoy to deliver a letter to Qing Chuan and arrange for the arrest.Unexpectedly, after the imperial decree was issued, what was waiting was Pu Chen who secretly entered the palace with soldiers.Since then, Pu Chen's ambitions have been directly displayed in front of Luo Yun...

From then on, the palace was completely controlled by Pu Chen, who falsely preached the imperial decree to act as the government, Pu Xian was imprisoned, and Luo Yun was kept in the bedroom.Pu Chen came to the door several times, Luo Yun either denounced him as an ungrateful villain, or simply ignored him, or just wanted to see Pu Xian, and turned a deaf ear to Pu Chen's appeal.Pu Chen once passed by the back garden after drinking, and heard two maids whispering, discussing how good Luo Yun and the king are, but unfortunately they are separated now.

These words deeply irritated him, and he killed the two maids with sticks, and rushed straight into Shu Ning's bedroom... until the moment he entered her, Pu Chen woke up from the wine...

This discovery made him overwhelmed with ecstasy, and he didn't leave the bedroom for three consecutive days.He loved every inch of her skin, every strand of fragrance, every trace of her soul...

Only ambition expands infinitely like sympathy, and it has come to this point
