[Caiyun Kingdom] The beginning of people

Zheng Youshun's question is too straightforward, even if you know that I am here to repay you, you don't have to be so straightforward... I looked at Youshun with a funny face, and said, "I don't quite understand what Youshun means." Why? I want to show you the hole cards directly?

He chuckled, "Miss Zelan is indeed Miss Zelan. Well, let me put it another way. If it was Zheng Youshun who asked instead of a court official, would Miss Zelan answer?"

Regarding Zheng Youshun, I still can't see many things clearly, but... Youshun is really too cunning, why use friendship to talk about things?I helplessly covered my forehead, "Okay, I'll answer you."

The time I spent with You Shun was not short, I really like and admire this person.His bearing, talent, and You Shun's gentleness towards people are all impressive.When you are an opponent, you will be hated to death, but feel ashamed; when you are a friend, you will feel very lucky to have him around.Know that he can be cruel, but also know that he is very gentle.

Not once did he laugh at my naivety.

"Except for the All-Commerce Federation and the Zhang family, only Zhang Zelan himself, I don't believe in the king, and I can't die for any country without hesitation." In this regard, I am absolutely inferior to Feixiang, Hongxiuli, etc. "I will do my best to help you Shun." I thought for a while, and then said: "If it is really serious, I can think about whether I can die." Well, think about it.

"Then what if I'm the kind of person who deliberately provokes war that Miss Zelan hates so much?" You Shun's expression didn't change a bit, "Is your answer still this?"

"I don't completely deny war, sometimes it's quite useful." I smiled wryly, "Forget it, let's not talk about it. If this is the case, you are not the Zheng Youshun I know. Why should I help someone I don't know?" I paused, and laughed at myself, "I'm sorry, I said such self-righteous words, Youshun is Youshun, I was talking nonsense. Then I will correct it, and say it again, under the condition, I can consider doing it for you. To the point of death. Ah, there is a premise, don’t let me die if you don’t even look down, I’m begging you.” The last sentence must be said, otherwise it will definitely be used to the bone .

"No," Youshun was not angry, but instead raised a funny smile, "It's just for Zheng Youshun's words, I understand." Before I could figure out what he meant, he changed the subject, "Na Zelan Miss, I want to ask you to help me smuggle weapons into Beijing."

"...Wait, wait," this man!I really can't relax my vigilance against him at all, "Don't change your mind secretly, this involves the Quanshang Federation and Zhang's family, I can't agree to this." My head hurt violently.

"Oh, I failed. I thought I could use my friendship to get a discounted price." He said without guilt, "Then President Zhang, what do you want me to do to agree?"

After a long wrangling, we finally talked about the matter when the moon was in the sky.

"Miss Zelan," You Shun drank the tea I made, and stuffed himself in Chai Lin's special soft chair, "Do you have any thoughts about this assassination? Actually, I also encountered many people. Fortunately, Jinglan is here, I am really lucky." Of course, his expression now does not have any sense of joy of "I escaped from the sky~", but still wears a calm smile.

I smiled wryly and said, "You Shun, when you say this next time, can you please be more frightened?" I thought for a while and said with a smile: "You can think like this, if you die, you will die again." I can't see Mrs. Lin anymore, Zhang Sanniang will introduce many outstanding young men to Mrs. Lin. Are you a little scared now?"

You Shun thought about it seriously, "Rather than being afraid, it's better to say that you're unhappy?"

...Aha?

He laughed and said, "Because, everyone is going to die. It's just a matter of priority. Facsimile facts don't constitute fear, and there is nothing to be afraid of. What humans fear most is the unknown. Well, after listening to After Ms. Zelan said this, she would feel extremely unhappy." He also smiled, "I really want to beat all the young people with crutches, but that would be too cruel Right? Hahahaha, pretend I didn’t say it.”

this person.I shook my head and turned back to the topic, "Do you need to talk about the assassination?" I didn't even need to turn my head half a turn to reach a conclusion.

Yu Shun looked at me seriously, "Do you think Chief Aoi is also involved in this matter?"

I smiled slightly, "Is there a difference?" Whether it is him or not, our respective ideas and positions will not change.

Unless one day the peak season becomes king, the overall situation is settled, and if I am not dead, then I will obediently bow down under the new king, otherwise, I don't want to be on the side that promotes the war at all.Having said that, in fact, Zi Liuhui is very responsible for causing today's situation.Too young, no wonder him, and I have to blame him, who called him a king?

"If it's a peaceful abdication," You Shun asked, "will Miss Zelan support Master Wangji?"

Peace?It seemed feasible, but for some reason, I didn't nod my head, just said: "I will keep silent." Tick, tick, it started to rain again outside.Taking late autumn as an example, there has been a lot of rain recently, which seems to affect the harvest of agricultural products in the coming year.I raised my hand to pick up the teapot, brewed a new pot of tea, and said, "You Shun, I have a question for you, if you don't want to answer it, please tell me that you don't want to, don't be embarrassed."

"Yes, please."

I picked up the kettle, looked down at the kettle and poured hot water into the teapot, and asked softly, "Why did you and Rin come together?" Wherever You Shun looked, even the tip of his eyes didn't show the family. , normally he is a terrible husband.

"It's very simple," You Shun's voice was gentle and peaceful, "Because I'm not as gentle as you, Miss Zelan, I'm extremely selfish."

I pulled the corner of my mouth, "I think Youshun is the gentle one." Although I think Yousun who wanted to die for other men, heck, died for the lord is a very bad man, but I think I can Rin is still very willing to marry him.When the tea was ready, I got up and poured You Shun a cup, "Sorry, I made a slip of the tongue." I don't know if it's because of the rainy weather, but I'm a little weak today.

You Shun took it with both hands, tilted his head with a smile, and said, "Miss Zelan, if you want to cry, I will go blind in due course."

I laughed, "Yes, thank you."

After a while, You Shun suddenly said: "I thought about whether it would be better to let Rin go." He smiled, "For a person like me who basically does not do good things when I go out, getting married is really tiring. But, I really don’t want another man to marry Rin, so there’s nothing I can do about it.”

I looked at the teacup in my hand and laughed.

"Yu Shun is a good man." Even if many people died under his design, he is not very warm-hearted, I still want to say this.I jokingly continued: "If You Shun hadn't gone out, Guiyang would have been destroyed by the Nightmare National Examination Team long ago."

"White lies are really sweet." He blinked, "Well, I don't deny Li Shen's combat effectiveness."

While I was chatting with Youshun, the drizzle was still falling outside the window.

Later, because it was too late, I stayed overnight in Zheng's mansion. When I woke up the next day, I had a splitting headache. I half-opened my eyes and was in a daze. Chai Lin.

"San Niang," Rin pressed my shoulder to keep me from getting up, "You have a fever, and the wound on your hand also shows signs of inflammation, please take a good rest here first, understand?"

... So the bad mood and headache are not because of such poetic things as the rain scene.I laughed out loud.

"Third Niang?"

"No, it's fine. Sorry to trouble you."

Xin Zi, who also arrived at the Zheng Mansion, put a cold towel on my forehead, bared his teeth, "Don't laugh like a fool, okay? It's scary."

I looked at Xinzi with a smile on my face, and didn't speak, just smiling.

"...Hey," Xin Zi took a step back, "You, what do you want?"

──Is this the power of the legendary smile?

I smiled and looked at her with a smile, and then suddenly yelled at her: "Wow!"

"Wow!" Xin Zi was startled, then slapped her heaving chest and hopped her feet, and stared at me, "You are so boring! Miss is an idiot! Idiot! Idiot! I am so bored! My brain is on fire It's rotten, you idiot!!"

I laughed, and Rin couldn't help laughing.

When my health recovered, Zi Liuhui also came back from Lanzhou, and brought back with him Lan Qiuying who had abandoned the name of Lan.Lan Xuena wrote me an inexplicable letter, complaining about rain in Lanzhou, bad weather, annoying kitten next door and other miscellaneous things, but the lines between the lines indicated his good mood.I looked at the letter and wondered for a long time, and even thought that Lan Xue was thinking about me affectionately. Then I remembered that Lan Qiuying was able to leave the Lan family smoothly because of a bet with the three Lan Xues. Tell the three of them who are Xue, Yue and Hua.I laughed and put the letter in the box.Being recognized by the most beloved brother, is he very happy?But what strange way of expressing his delight?I covered my mouth and kept laughing.

Then let's start well, little brother of the Lan family.Just a few days before their return, Yu Shitai had already thrown Li Jiangyou into prison for negligence of duty.My previous proposal was easily supported by the main officials in the DPRK and China. The main reason was that people from both factions were using my proposal to distract attention—the aristocratic faction was plotting against Li Jiangyou and even The case of Hong Lishen, while Youshun stepped up the mobilization and arrangement of local and central officials to clean up the officials.

Li Jiangyou, as the servant of the Ministry of Officials, he tolerated Hong Lishen's attitude of always not working. Yu Shitai had long wanted to take him into surgery, but he was just waiting for an opportunity.

I put my hand on the desk and tapped it with my fingers.It is not certain who is playing the chess in whose hand.

"Miss," Xin Zi pushed the door open, "someone from the palace came to announce."

"What's the matter?" Is Thirteen Ji who also came back from Lanzhou looking for me?

"It's Your Majesty." Xin Zi showed a strange expression, "Your Majesty said that he wanted you to attend today's court meeting." She stuck out her tongue, "I don't know what the hell is going on."

ha?I haven't received any news about me from the court recently, just a commoner, why do you announce me to the palace?With doubts, I went to change clothes and entered the palace, and once again set foot on the Golden Luan Hall in the eyes of everyone.After saluting, I retreated to the last seat and stood with my head bowed, listening to the important ministers discussing political affairs, until the last item was to announce the revision of the law.

"...revise this. In addition," Zheng Youshun said standing next to Zi Liuhui, the top leader, "also ordered local officials to check the habit of drowning female infants, open girls' schools widely, and include them in the annual official exams One of the standards, order the Ministry of Officials to implement it.”

People in the world value sons over daughters, so they have the habit of drowning female babies, but in the end it turns out that there are too many girls and boys. As a result, many men from poor families cannot marry wives. Coping with needs and carrying widows has been repeatedly prohibited under the two aspects of needs and looking down on women.On the other hand, women seldom read and understand, and when they encounter problems, they may not know how to ask for help, and they may not know that the court has issued a new law.These two new additions are temporary but permanent cures.

I have never heard of these two policies in addition to law amendments.

If I had suggested to High Season that the road be paved, maybe he would have accepted it too, but he would not be the first to come forward with these new ideas.

I silently took a step forward, saluted Zi Liuhui who was high above but surrounded by enemies in full view, and lowered my head.I finally understand why although I don't object to Wang Ji's ascension to the throne, I still consider supporting the seemingly weak Zi Liuhui.

I finally understand that the hero of "The Story of Caiyun Kingdom" is the most important quality for him to become a king.

I believe that Wang Ji will be a mature and good king, because he will work hard to bring his dream country to reality; while Zi Liuhui does not have a formed ideal in his heart, but will bring everyone their own dream country, Accept everyone's strange dreams with heart, and are not afraid to create new things.

Be proactive and listen to people.

Purple Liu Hui V.S. Peak Season

I decided, always dilly-dally I finally made up my mind.

"Retire from the court." After You Shun announced the matter, today's court meeting finally came to an end.

You Shun wanted me to attend the court meeting because You Shun wanted to pull me to the king's side; but for Zi Liuhui, I think he just wanted me to listen to the announcement and give me a wish.

When all the officials dispersed, I quietly stood up from the ground, lowered my eyes, and smiled.When I raised my eyes again, I looked at Kui Huangyi who was standing in front of me, and his gaze was still on me.Across the entire court hall, we looked at each other coldly, and then he turned around and walked towards Wangji. I straightened my skirt, rolled up my sleeves, and turned around and walked towards the gate of the hall.

Walking, walking, I walked to a remote high-rise building in the imperial city, leaned on the cold stone railing, looked at Guiyang, and then closed my eyes.

Yan Tian, ​​will you blame me?

If I had been earlier, earlier...

If I were more like a time-traveling woman and a little more brave, wouldn't I be able to do this earlier and leave you with a chance of survival?

──have a nice evening miss

──Why are you still in this temper?Naturally, things are not perfect, my husband is not good enough to me?

──It's a small thing to be laughed at by me, and it's terrible to pretend that you can't even see yourself clearly.

──Whether it's Mr. Zhong or Mrs. Kui, I don't care.I only care about whether the lady is doing well.

I slid down the stone railing and sat on the ground, weeping bitterly, crying loudly, beating the gold bricks on the ground hard.

If so, I will be more brave.

But before the proposal was officially announced, I didn't even have the courage to cry. I was afraid that if I cried, I would never be able to stand up again.I envy straightforward people, yearn for optimism, bravery, and strength, but I have no choice but to be a coward with a big ambition buried in my heart. I don’t even know how to protect and cherish the people around me. .

I was crying at the top of my lungs.

If I say that I miss my father and my teacher, is that weak?

I collapsed on the ground, from the bright sun to the sunset and dusk, and then stared blankly at the orange-yellow and gorgeous sunset turning to blood-red, and gradually, the sky turned into pitch black again.I closed my eyes and turned off my vision; I covered my ears not to listen, and turned off my sense of hearing;I want to shut down all my consciousness.

Suddenly, a big rough but warm hand rubbed my head.I opened my eyes and saw Hei Yaoshi, General Zuo Yulin.He reached out to pat my head and my shoulder with one hand, and the temperature spread from his palm to my body.I don't know when the dry tears slid down again, I grabbed Hei Yaoshi's clothes with both hands as if catching a life-saving straw, and cried loudly again.

Although, I couldn't cry anymore.

But I still cry.

Hei Yaoshi changed from squatting to simply sitting on the ground, reaching out to hug me, without saying a word.After crying a lot, I rested weakly for a long time before I could stand up and remember to reach out and wipe my face clean.At this time, the gate of the palace has been closed, and there is no way to leave the palace without the king's warrant, so Hei Yaoshi sent me to Thirteen Ji's palace to rest.

But, in life, unsatisfactory things are very common.

The king whom I just decided to be loyal to was crying in the Thirteenth Concubine's room.Was he bullied by the bad guys in the court?

"..." Standing outside the door, looking at the dim light in the room, I touched my nose wordlessly.

There's no shame in crying, really.

Holding my Hei Yaoshi sideways, he sighed.I chuckled.There is no way, everyone has times when they want to cry, but the Puppy King just has a little more of these times.Cough, it’s not just “a little bit”, haha.

As a result, Hei Yaoshi and I sat on a corridor in the cold wind without saying a word all night.

After leaving the palace the next day, Xinzi who had waited for me all night for nothing, of course, yelled loudly. I bitterly apologized to everyone in the house, and the girl waved her hand, forgiving me.Fortunately, Feixiang had business last night and didn't go back home, otherwise he would be worried too, I would not only get shaved, maybe my head would be slapped flat by him.

One morning, I hurried to the gate of the palace with a food box and waited aside, watching the adults coming in a hurry.Among them, there is naturally Kui Huangyi.

It's just that I think we all understand that now that we have come to this point, a hypocritical greeting is already superfluous.

So we just looked at each other and turned away.When I turned my eyes, I just saw the target person, so I quickly stepped up to stop him.

"..." Hei Yaoshi looked at me, the corner of his mouth twitched inexplicably despite his expressionless expression.

…Actually, it’s not inexplicable, it’s because I’m in a hurry today, wearing the clothes at home, and getting through without much hair, so the appearance is more...cough.Who said that the time to go to court is early?I didn't want to make a special trip to the palace to look for him, but when I was looking for Thirteenth Ji, it seemed that I was too insincere, so I had to pick this time to come.It's really not appropriate to go into the Heifu to find someone or something, given our unfamiliarity.

Therefore, crying in front of unfamiliar people is extremely inappropriate.

I handed him the food box in embarrassment, "I made this myself, let me show my heart." I became more and more embarrassed, my cheeks were a little stiff, "I really bothered you last time."

Hei Yaoshi readily accepted, "Third Miss, you're welcome."

I let out a breath, quickly saluted and said goodbye, and walked back to the waiting carriage.Xin Zi raised the curtain of the car to help me up, I paused, and then looked back at the palace gate.

Of course, Kui Huangyi was long gone.

I got into the carriage, and Xin Zi asked me curiously: "Hey? Why did General Hei call you Miss San? I've heard Master Mu of Jiangzhou and Master Lai Shangshu call you that."

ah?

... In this way, Hei Yaoshi, like Jiang Wenzhong and Lai Junchen, has also heard of Zhong Jietong, Guan Feixiang and Zhang Zelan from the black and white states?I covered my face in pain, resolute not to tell Xin Zi the black history of the three brothers and sisters in the five towns in the northeast of Heizhou in those years.

Things like black history will stay with you for life.

The carriage rumbled, regardless of my mood, I drove away, gradually moving away from the magnificent palace.

──It would be great if we could really stay away from the black history.

Obviously, I never expected to come to this step.

I lifted the curtain of the car and quietly watched the noisy street scene receding. The civilians along the road gave way to my carriage with the emblem of the All-China Federation of Commerce.

Gulu Gulu, Gulu Gulu.
