empress and princess

As winter goes to spring and Nanyan returns to its nest one after another, the land of Kyushu is full of vitality.

The sky was slightly bright, Chu Huaimin got up as usual, and when he left, he stood by the bed and bent over, gently pulled up the brocade quilt to cover the neck of Qin Jihuang who was still sleeping soundly, and then went to the back kitchen to decoct the medicine.

Not long after, as the footsteps went away, Chu Peisi finally couldn't help opening her small eyes, peeping at the closed door, while uncovering the quilt that her aunt had tucked up tightly for her, she quickly got up and landed on her feet. Then he came to the bed in the inner room, and climbed up to it very skillfully with hands and feet.

Chu Peisi thought about it excitedly, and decided to lean into her ear: "Gujun..." He called two or three times in a small and soft voice.

Yesterday they made an appointment to fly a kite together, but it was already dawn outside the window, and Gu Jun was still sleeping in.

Chu Peisi frowned worryingly, and looked eagerly at the Lord Qin Wang who was the only one who was willing to play with her.

But then I remembered that my aunt had told me many times not to be disturbed when my aunt was resting, and Pei Si had always obeyed her aunt's words, so she just sat there, sucked her index finger into her mouth, and waited quietly. Master Gujun wakes up.

So there it was, Qin Tangjing opened his eyes, and saw a little baby sitting on the head of the bed, with his cheeks in his hands, his eyelids were shaky, his head was like a chicken pecking at rice, and he looked sleepy and refused to fall down. Stubborn.

Looking at it this way, that small face with similar facial features really has a bit of Chu Huaimin's demeanor.

Qin Tangjing couldn't help laughing, stretched out his hand to support the little man who was about to fall, and said lazily: "Pace, do you still want to fly a kite?"

One sentence worked, Chu Peisi immediately raised her head, although she was confused, she said first: "Think!"

The wind really blew up early in the morning, and the courtyard of the city lord's mansion where he was stationed was not small. The dragon kite flew up from Qin Tangjing's hands quickly, and flew straight into the sky. point!"

Chu Peisi was full of energy, and Qin Tangjing was also cheerful, and continued to draw the string, and finally let the dragon kite fly to the highest point. From a distance, it seemed that there was a real dragon flying through the clouds.

When Chu Huaimin, who was packing up the medicine jars in the back kitchen, looked up, she happened to see this scene, and it took a while before she lowered her eyes.

"Doctor Wei is not less knowledgeable than me, and I don't have any strategic vision in the political world, but at this moment, I can tell the truth: the real man has appeared. If Doctor Wei doesn't believe it, you can go out of the eaves and know it at a glance. .”

"Eldest princess is humble, Li Wuce praised you so much, I humbly ask for advice, if you want to come..."

Wei Jin smiled and moved out of the eaves as he said, but stopped abruptly at this point, obviously seeing the dragon-shaped kite soaring in the sky.

Chu Huaimin turned around, picked up the cattail leaf fan, fanned the wind to control the heat of the medicine stove, and played with the medicine pots, and didn't say a word.

Wei Jin raised his head and thought about the kite for a long time.

The One and the Dragon.

What if, if you compare the lifelike dragon above your head to King Qin?Doesn't this just herald the emergence of the real dragon emperor, and the king of Qin led the army to fight, and most of the wars have ended now, isn't it just the lord of the Central Plains who blesses the common people?

Although this is just a rumor, the common people will naturally not delve into whether it is true or not. As long as they are not hungry, they are serious. Therefore, after countless mouthfuls of evolution, all of this will naturally become true.

With the fame and the gimmick, it will be spread to ten, ten to a hundred, and spread throughout the territory of the Seven Kingdoms. At this time, it will take the opportunity to win the hearts of the people...

Wei Jin suddenly exclaimed, and finally suddenly understood, and finally comprehended the essence of it, she nodded excitedly: "Understood, Wei Jin understands! The eldest princess is right, right at all! The real man is indeed It has appeared, and the world is about to usher in a new generation of emperors!"

"Absolutely, the method is brilliant! I'll do it right away, and I'll thank the Eldest Princess for her kindness later!"

Throwing down the words, Wei Jin was in a hurry, and the wind seemed to rush out of the back kitchen.

Chu Huaimin lowered his head, with a calm expression, and still arranged the medicine jars in an orderly manner, then turned around and picked up the medicine bowl, and went to find the 'Right Man' to drink the medicine.

……

"As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to hurt your muscles and bones! You haven't completely healed in half a year, and you still jump around like a king."

In that room, the two were chasing the kite, the elder and the younger were having a great time, when the troublemaker suddenly came, and they could hear a burst of cursing from afar.

Qin Tangjing laughed dryly twice, and waved to her: "Uncle Huang, why don't you come and play too? I remember when I was young, you played with me like this." When she finished speaking, she turned her eyes, no surprise, There was nothing beside her, and Chu Peisi was once again bluffed by her little uncle to hide behind her.

Because in Chu Peisi's eyes, this god of war is very vicious, very scary to look at, and no gentle aunt treats her well.

"Childish, I'm not in the mood to play with you." Qin Jiufeng snorted over there, and without looking at Chu Peisi, the childish child, he just took away the kite string tube wrapped by Ji Huang's hands and stuffed it into Peisi's hand, " You, don't rely on Gu Jun, just go and play." Unceremoniously driving Pei Si away, she looked back at Ji Huang, and said seriously: "I have something to talk about."

"Are you going back to Qin?"

The spring was shining brightly in the yard, and Qin Tangjing's expression was also very gentle. He kept looking at Chu Peisi, and only asked this sentence.

"Well! The time is ripe to attack Qin, it's time to go back." Qin Jiufeng slowed down his voice and patted her on the shoulder, "How many years have passed in a flash, I have been out for a long time, and what belongs to you must not be lost anyway."

Qin Tang nodded, feeling emotional for the thing that belonged to her, then put his right hand into Qin Jiufeng's arms, and held it affectionately: "Little Huangshu, I never asked you, just because of a joke from the lonely king back then, you were Helping me to the top, I missed a lot because of this, have you ever regretted it?" Finally sighed softly.

"How can there be such regrets in life. If you do it, you do it, and I never regret it." Qin Jiufeng hardly thought about it.

"really?"

"Of course it's true."

It is true that I have no regrets, but I am worried that I can no longer be with me and have to break my promise.

At this time, Qin Jiufeng glanced at the figure of a Taoist figure outside the corridor, raised his hand suddenly, grabbed Ji Huang's collar lightly, looked at her face, his eyes were extremely complicated: "Ji Huang, listen carefully, how dare you I have lost the throne that I fought so hard to snatch, and even if the little emperor is dead, I have to lift the coffin to cheat the corpse, and I must beat you to death!" Qin Jiufeng suddenly changed his face.

The next moment she returned to normal: "Then whoever is here, don't disturb you, I will take a step first." She was very kind before she left, and she even kidnapped Chu Peisi, leaving only the two of them to treat each other.

Seeing the little emperor's uncle disappear, Qin Tangjing was puzzled by what she said, and felt anxious all the time, so he pulled Chu Huaimin and asked the first sentence: "I haven't messed with the little emperor's uncle recently, have I?" ?”

Chu Huaimin glanced at her lightly, not giving her face, and reported everything: "Going down the river to fish, going up the mountain to hunt, horse racing competition, and today I secretly flew a kite. The prince told you to rest and recuperate. He refused to listen to you many times. You didn't mess with me." bad?"

"..."

"Actually, I'm a bit regretful. If you don't want to let go of unfettered freedom, why do you have to be a king?"

After drinking the bitter medicine, after a long delay, Qin Tangjing spoke again.Under the sunlight, her thin shadow swayed on the ground, and there was actually a kind of silence.

The next day, King Qin's army withdrew its camp, and 30 troops were ready to go.

******

A few days later, the Yizheng Hall of Xianyang Palace.

The Empress Dowager Wei sat upright, listening with some interest to the guards on the steps describing what she had seen and heard recently, saying that it was a rumor that came from nowhere, that the real dragon appeared in the sky—the King of Qin.There are too many people who say it, and it is passed around, and people believe it to be true, and even the court and China are talking about it.

The land of the Chu and Song Dynasties is the most widely spread. Along the way back to Qin, many city generals were panicked after hearing this. It is said that they began to discuss in private whether they should open the city and surrender when the King of Qin attacked.

"I'm reporting to the Queen Mother, the old minister thinks that the Queen Mother needs to come up with a perfect idea on this matter." As soon as the guards closed their mouths, someone came out, and it was Doctor Li, the father of Prime Minister Li. Innocent soldiers!"

"It makes sense. Then according to your opinion, how should we deal with it?" Wei Si asked softly.

"This……"

"It's better to deal with it like this. Don't fight. It's meaningless to fight back and forth with your own family. Order them to surrender, open the city to make way, and ensure that the king arrives at the palace smoothly. Li Qing, what do you think?"

Dr. Li stroked his beard a few times, and saw that many courtiers remained silent, so he followed suit.

After the matter was settled, Wei Si got up and prepared to leave the court without anything to do.

"Empress Dowager, wait a moment." At this moment, Dr. Li made a noise, and dared to block the Empress Dowager Wei's way. There must be no good things going on.

"What's up?"

"The old minister suddenly remembered something related to the fate of Qin." Doctor Li saluted respectfully, "When the plan was drawn up, the queen mother promised that as long as the little prince was born in Prince Qi's mansion, he would be the next King of Qin from now on. Does it count?"

Wei Si stopped, glanced at Dr. Li's eyes, and immediately lowered his eyelids slightly, his long eyelashes covered the fleeting fierce light inside, and said in a relaxed tone, "Of course it counts."

What Dr. Li wanted was these words, and he straightened his old back: "The good news has just come from Prince Qi's mansion, Mingyue's wife is now two months pregnant!"

The ministers were stunned for a moment, Wei Si was startled when he heard the words, then smiled, and finally waved his sleeves and said: "The Ai family wants it, first say congratulations to Prince Qi's mansion, no matter who is born after the full term , or the princess, they are all of my Qin family's blood. The proposed decree, Qi Wangfu's conceived son has meritorious service, and the meritorious service belongs to the country, rewarding thousands of gold, bestowing five imperial doctors, ten maidservants, and dispatching imperial guards to guard day and night, so there must be no mistakes !"

The voice fell, and the hall was silent.

After the court was over, Qin Mingyue's forehead touched the ground, and he still knelt on the ground tremblingly. He didn't even feel that everyone was gone. He was absolutely afraid of the Empress Dowager Wei.

"It's really worthless, get up, it scares you so much." Dr. Li kicked his calf.

Qin Mingyue was shocked, and suddenly raised his head, and found that the huge political hall was empty, especially since the Queen Mother Wei had left, so he breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his chest and complained: "Grandpa, you almost scared your grandson to death, How can you……"

"You bastard, I didn't think about you. Now that Shizhou is gone, and all the ministers are the Queen Mother's confidants, who will be your backer in the future? Rely on your father?" Dr. Li stared at him, his beard raised in anger, " You can count on me not to die before your son is born!"

To unify the world, there will always be a price that ordinary people can hardly imagine.

When planning this grand scheme, every confidant of Wei Si's subordinates, including the neutral Li family, also participated.

The price, at that time, was just a stopgap measure, but it also planted the root of disaster.

Back at the Supreme Palace, Si Wei immediately ordered someone to bring paper, ink, brush and inkstone, and wrote a secret letter herself, while sneering, her lips parted and closed silently: "Old guy, I think you are old and don't want to trouble your Li family, but Aijia is not dead yet, so he misses the throne."

This is the thing that Wei Si can't tolerate the most, and it's also the thing that those in power fear the most, and it has been without exception throughout the ages.

As soon as the secret letter came out, it was quickly delivered to Wei Jin thousands of miles away. With the help of a sparse oil lamp, the letter contained a simple line with a few numbers, but it was very clear and dazzling.

After reading the content, Wei Jin couldn't be calm for a long time, glanced at Qin Jiufeng who was seriously wiping the bright sword, and then covered her face, she said quietly: "My lord, your sword is about to be stained with the blood of loyalty."

"Kill who?" There was no wave in the voice.The two people inside and outside the palace seemed to have gotten used to this way of getting along.

"look by youself."

Wei Jin hurriedly handed her the secret letter, but Qin Jiufeng turned his face and refused coldly: "I don't read Wei Si's letter."

"Okay, if you don't want to read it, then I'll read it to you." Wei Jin shook the secret letter, and read it out word by word: "Enter the city to take advantage of the chaos, secretly kill the Li Party, slaughter the Qi Palace, and cut grass and roots."
