[Ancient Style] The notorious minister turned out to be beautiful, strong and miserable

There was a knock on the door.

Zhao Yan asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhao Dongyang bowed outside the door and said, "My lord, the medicine is here."

Zhao Yan glanced at Chu Qin, then turned to Zhao Dongyang and said, "Come in later."

"My lord, take care of yourself."

There was no more sound outside the door.

Zhao Yan picked up the volume of Buddhist scriptures that was about to be put down from the front of the case, and said in a calm voice, "If His Highness King Qin refuses to help, then don't blame Zhao Yan for spreading the news about His Highness and His biological mother to the world. Your Highness, please be careful when you return home. Consider."

Words are meant to see off guests.

King Qin's pupils finally surged, "Zhao Yan!"

"Your Highness personally killed the woman you liked, how did you feel?"

It was as if the Nilin had been cut off by Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan's painted skin-like face was reflected in Chu Qin's eyes, and for a moment he wanted to break that fragile neck.

"I didn't know that the most powerful chief assistant in the cabinet had a sharp mouth."

King Qin's demeanor became indifferent, "Since this is the case, I will not say anything more about Lord Shoufu's life or death in the future."

King Qin brushed off his clothes and left.

Zhao Yan stared blankly at his back, clenched the golden knife in his hand that he never threw away on the way to escape.

He coughed violently, and couldn't stop it anymore.

Bright red blood splashed on the golden knife.

I was planning to return it to him today.

That's all.It is unlucky to stain something with the blood of a sick person.

According to historical records, Emperor Gaozu had six sons, but the youngest son was drowned.

Qin Wang had a prominent mother family, his maternal grandfather and uncle Zhou Xian accompanied Emperor Gaozu to conquer the country of Chu.

Later, his grandfather was martyred on the battlefield, and his uncle voluntarily released his military power, disarmed and became a wealthy idler in the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River.

Although the Zhou family is no longer involved in government affairs, they have a very high reputation in the court.

Zhou Xian became one of the few founding generals in the history books who lived a long life.

Qin Wang's mother was the only imperial concubine conferred by Emperor Gaozu in his lifetime.

Later, the military power in Zhou Xian's hands was handed over to Chu Qin by Emperor Gaozu.

So a four-year-old child held Da Chu's lifeblood in his hands.

"The northwest is the gate of Great Chu. He guards the northwest. With soldiers in his hands, no one dares to move. Let their mother and son go to the northwest."

This is what Emperor Gaozu said to Zhou Xian when he was seriously ill.

The founding emperor seemed to know that his life was not long, so he arranged a way out for his favorite wife and children.

Soon after, the death knell was rang in the palace, and the reign name was changed overnight.

It was this kind of love that made Chu Qin go to the battlefield when he was young.

When Chu Qin was going to the Northwest, Zhou Xiandai asked his nephew to go to the Daoist, and wanted to take Chu Qin's mother to the fiefdom, but he was rejected by his elder brother, who became the emperor, on the grounds that the concubine was not in good health and should be raised in the palace.

So the deep palace became a cage, and Concubine Zhou became a pawn in the hands of the emperor to restrain the Northwest.

The young Chu Qin was forced to live apart from his mother who was connected by blood.

He had seen some dark and dirty methods in the capital very early on.

In the 15th year of Jian'an, the northwest suffered a natural disaster.

King Qin's men handed over the booklets and entered the capital overnight, but they couldn't wait for the court to release food.

In one day, starvation was everywhere, and there were many bones, and the trees in a radius of ten miles inhabited by people were eaten and only the trunks remained.

The entire Northwest was overthrown by popular anger, and Chu Qin, who was isolated and helpless, was even ready to fight against the millions of refugees who rose up.

The general's sword is used to defend the country, but he is forced to raise the butcher's knife against his own people.

The imperial court is waiting for more people to die in the northwest.

The young Chu Qin knew everything, but he could only grit his teeth and carry it.

There is no more food.

Even the soldiers were almost out of food, and all the war horses in the village were eaten to the bone.A soldier was so hungry that he cut off a piece of his own flesh.

And at this time, the court released food.

When the report from the imperial court came, the young Chu Qin licked his chapped lips, and lay on his back on the yellow sand in the northwest, with the yellow sand covering his face, sleeping soundly in the dew.

I heard that the emperor originally refused.

No one knows why the emperor later changed his mind.

Until many years later, he learned something from a eunuch named Chang Ping.

In the 20th year of Jian'an, Chu Qin went back to the capital.

At that time, Concubine Zhou was seriously ill, and his mother's illness gradually improved after he entered the capital.

The emperor was aloof, and the young Northwest King respectfully knelt at his feet and bowed his head as a minister. Outsiders could only see respect from brothers and sisters, but they couldn't see the undercurrents.

Chu Qin sometimes thought that if he didn't have a prominent mother clan and no military power in his hands, probably his elder brother would be very happy to get close to him.

When I was young, I was also a brother and a father.

In such a field, everyone is forced by the situation and cannot help themselves.
