When a passerby becomes a princess

Liang Xi has always given people the impression that he is enthusiastic and cheerful. Few people have seen him like this. It seems that there is a cold wind that is colder than ten thousand years of ice suddenly blowing out of his body, especially when the true energy in his body is suppressed by this. As soon as the words were excited, they rushed out immediately, and even the surrounding air was frozen by him.But even so, Lin Qiu, who was located in the most central area, was still wrapped in his arms with the gentlest movement, without being affected at all.

He Hua was blocked by Liang Xi's aura, and his crazy mind calmed down when he saw Liang Zhe being tied up. He rushed to Liang Xi's horse in a few steps, knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "His Royal Highness, please let me go." Let him go... let him go, he is sick, and his mind is not clear, as long as you can let him go, Caomin is willing to give all his private property to redeem his life." His head hit the mud full of snow There was even a "bang bang" sound on the ground, one can imagine how hard it was.

Liang Xi still had a cold expression on his face, but he was very puzzled in his heart. He never thought that this person would be Liang Zhe, the last emperor of the former dynasty, because according to his age, Liang Zhe was already over 50 years old, and this person looked only in his early thirties. , so Liang Xigang initially thought that He Hua had created a puppet emperor with the intention of rebelling and usurping the throne.

But seeing He Hua's performance now, Liang Xi overturned his previous judgment. He Hua clearly regarded this person very seriously, even more than himself.

Here we will talk about the criminal law of Daliang State.In Daliang State, if a person sentenced to death does not want to die, he has another choice, which is to redeem his life with money.This was ordered by an unknown emperor before, to subsidize the empty treasury.

After Liang Honglie ascended the throne, he wanted to abolish this criminal law, but the richest people in the Liang Kingdom were the aristocratic family, and when Liang Honglie first ascended the throne, the aristocratic family almost controlled the court. None of them could guarantee that they would not commit crimes, or that they would not be found out if they committed crimes, so He resolutely opposed the abolition of the criminal law of "ransom for life with money" in order to leave a way out for himself. In the end, Liang Honglie had no choice but to keep this criminal law.

He Hua said that he used money to redeem Liang Zhe's life. Although it was only his personal property, not the He family's property, it also greatly exceeded the amount required by the criminal law. You must know that he is the eldest son of the He family. Having been in overseas trade for many years, his private property is almost equal to half of all the properties of the He family.

But the more He Hua was like this, the more doubtful Liang Xi was about this person's identity.

Although Lin Qiu knew Liang Zhe's identity, he didn't say a word. He believed that Liang Xi would make a choice by himself, not because of his own prompts.Moreover, he is now worried about the red veins in Liang Xi's eyes, and the blue under the eyes. How long has it been since Liang Xi had a good rest?

But if Lin Qiu didn't say anything, it didn't mean no one said anything, and Qin Mutian jumped out.He limped forward and saluted, "His Royal Highness, this person cannot be let go. He is Liang Zhe, the last emperor of the previous dynasty."

Although Liang Xi's sudden appearance disrupted Qin Mutian's plan and made him very angry, he was more afraid, especially when he saw the soldiers of the raid battalion pointing their arrows at him. Tian felt that his uninjured leg was also a little weak.But after all, he had seen big scenes before, so he quickly calmed down and made secret calculations.

Fighting is definitely impossible, even if you can fight, you can't fight. If you really want to fight with the prince, it will be a rebellion. Although the Qin family is rich and powerful, they have no military strength. If you fight, you will die. .

The only thing that can resolve the crisis now is that fortunately, he only said before that he would welcome the princess back. As for the last sentence about whether the princess suits He Hua's taste, Qin Mutian selectively forgot.Well, he could have refused to admit it, and said that there was news that the Crown Princess was kidnapped by He Hua and that he ran here because of meritorious deeds, trying to rescue the Crown Princess. There is merit.

Then, what Qin Mutian has to do now is to trample He Hua on the soles of his feet, and use him to get up from this quagmire.

Liang Xi was taken aback by these words first. Didn't Liang Zhe, the last emperor of the former dynasty, die long ago?But when he saw the surprised faces of the people around him, he immediately became dissatisfied and angry with Qin Mutian.

If Qin Mutian told Liang Xi in private that this person was Liang Zhe, the last emperor of the former dynasty, no matter whether it was true or not, Liang Xi could handle the matter calmly, but Qin Mutian said it in public, and there were so many people. Mischievous words will inevitably be spread?

At that time, if Liang Xi killed Liang Zhe, he would be said to be a cruel kinslayer. After all, Liang Honglie said that he was of royal blood when he rebelled, and he and Liang Zhe enshrined the same Liang's divine tablet.So when he invaded the palace, Liang Honglie deliberately lagged behind and asked Song Zixu to force Liang Zhe to death, so as not to tarnish his reputation.

But it doesn’t matter if you don’t kill Liang Zhe. Even though Liang Zhe is a tyrant, it doesn’t mean that everyone hates him. The He family has protected him for so many years, and the Feng family used to be Liang Zhe’s humerus. Except for the four major families, who knows How many of those rich and powerful families, large and small, still support Liang Zhe. When the time comes, these people will gather together after hearing the news, and then make a "revolt and restore the country". Even if it fails in the end, it will inevitably cause great damage to Liang Zhe. destruction.

Again, no matter whether this person is really Liang Zhe or not, these things can happen, because power is a cursed thing, enough to make people crazy.

Liang Xi didn't look at He Hua and Liang Zhe anymore, but stared at Qin Mutian, and said in a cold voice, "Duke Qin was joking, Liang Zhe, the last emperor of the previous dynasty, died a long time ago, and he is lying in the imperial mausoleum now. How would it appear here?"

Qin Mutian, an old fox, could not have thought of something that Liang Xi could think of. In fact, he regretted it a little after he said it. If Liang Zhe's matter works well, it might become a boost for him to ascend the throne. Unfortunately, because he was affected by Liang Xi's sudden outburst, he only thought of self-protection out of fear.Thinking of this, Qin Mutian rolled his eyes and stopped talking.

Unexpectedly, Liang Zhe sneered, and said loudly: "Qin Mutian, after more than 20 years, you still haven't made any progress, and you are still a covetous fool who is not as good as a pig and dog, but you still want to covet us. The Liang family's country, this is really a joke. That's right, I am Liang Zhe, Emperor Xiao of Liang. You rebellious officials and thieves can kill me. I have already died once. How can I be afraid of you, such a yellow-mouthed child? .”

In modern terms, Liang Zhe is definitely a ruthless character. He is ruthless to his family, ruthless to ministers, ruthless to the world, and he is ruthless to himself.Back when Song Zixu invaded the palace, he was able to take his favorite concubine to prostitute on the high platform, not because he was cowardly, but because he wanted to prevent himself from being captured and humiliated. He would rather accept death than humiliation from the enemy. An emperor's self-esteem.

It's the same now, even though the madness has tortured him for more than 20 years, the self-esteem and pride engraved in his bones did not allow him to bow his head to the enemy, so he deliberately provoked Liang Xi, only to die quickly.

"Your Majesty..." He Hua raised his head abruptly, the blood and muddy water on his forehead could not cover his pale face, as long as Liang Zhe admitted his identity, even if he used gold and silver mountains, he would not be able to save Liang Zhe's life.

Liang Xi stared fiercely at Liang Zhe, and after a while he called Lin Cheng, and said, "You take a thousand soldiers to secretly escort this man back to Beijing and hand him over to my father." After thinking for a while, he said again: "Since it is a dead person, it should stay where the dead should stay."

He Hua, who had been kneeling in front of Liang Xi's horse, trembled when he heard this. He gritted his teeth, kowtowed heavily again, and said, "Your Highness, the grass-roots are still willing to hand over all their private property. Caomin and... together with this person."

Liang Xi glanced down at him and said, "Sure."

Here Lin Cheng pressed Liang Zhe and He Hua to go to the capital, while Liang Xi looked up at the magnificent palace, suddenly smiled at Qin Mutian, and said, "Duke Qin, what do you think of this place? "

Qin Mutian was shocked by Liang Xi's handling of Liang Zhe, and He Hua's invitation to accompany Liang Zhe to die. Hearing Liang Xi's question, he said naturally: "The beautiful scenery here is rare in the world, otherwise it would not have been I chose this place to build a palace."

Liang Xi nodded with a smile, and said: "Gu also means this. If it comes to the season of warm spring and flowers blooming, it will be even more beautiful. Why don't Duke Qin accompany Gu here, and when the spring is warm and the flowers bloom, how about we enjoy the beautiful scenery together?" ?”

Here we have to wait until the spring is warm and the flowers bloom, at least another month. By then, all ten Liang Zhe will be dead, and even if Qin Mutian returns to Beijing, there will be nothing wrong with it.Qin Mutian really wanted to object, but looking at the crossbows and swords facing him, he couldn't muster the courage to object at all, so he reluctantly agreed.

More than half a month later, Lin Cheng escorted Liang Zhe to the capital, and secretly played the matter of the current emperor Liang Honglie. According to Liang Xi's opinion, Liang Honglie sent someone to secretly open Liang Zhe's mausoleum, locked Liang Zhe in, and sealed it up again. The gate of the tomb was guarded by heavy soldiers.

After He Hua confessed all her private property, she entered the tomb with Liang Zhe and was buried for Liang Zhe.

"Who is sleeping in this coffin?" Liang Zhe stood in the underground palace of his mausoleum and asked the coffin on the high platform.

He Hua lit up all the ever-burning lamps, stood beside Liang Zhe, and said, "Go back to the emperor, that's a servant of a grass-roots family."

"This servant is such a great blessing, to be able to sleep in the imperial tomb after death." Liang Zhe smiled, then turned to He Hua and said, "There are only two of us here, so don't call me emperor anymore. "

"Emperor... this..." He Hua and Liang Zhe have been together for more than 20 years. Even when Liang Zhe was stupid, he always called him the emperor. This suddenly prevented him from calling Liang Zhe the emperor. He didn't know what to do. How to speak is good.

"My name is Liang Zhe, but you can call me Aji." Liang Zhe raised his hand and touched He Hua's forehead, where there was a scar left by He Hua kowtowing to Liang Xi that day.He said: "My father gave me this name. In the past, only my father and mother called me that. Now I allow you to call me Aji."

He Hua didn't know what kind of feeling he was feeling in his heart right now, whether it was flattered, or the joy of getting what he wanted, he just felt as if his throat was blocked, and those two words lingered in his mouth for a long time, but he couldn't come out.

Liang Zhe slipped his finger from He Hua's forehead to the corner of his mouth, and said, "I still remember the first time I saw you, you were eating jaggery on a chair, and the corners of your mouth were covered with white powdered sugar. Just like a little dirty cat, when I walked out, you were so scared that the candy in your hand fell on the ground, and your ears were red with embarrassment."

He Hua didn't expect that Liang Zhe could still remember the scene when they first met. In fact, He Hua himself remembered that he liked to eat jaggery candy when he was a child, but his mother was afraid that he would break his teeth and never allowed him to eat more. Eat, that day when his grandfather took him to the palace, he saw that there was jaggery candy in the dessert on the table, and when his grandfather went to visit the emperor, he ate it with great joy.While eating happily, he suddenly heard someone laughing lightly behind the shelf, which made him look up immediately in fright. Who knew that just because he looked up, he not only dropped the candy in his hand, but also lost a heart. For more than 30 years None of them came back.

What Liang Zhe didn't tell He Hua was that when he saw He Hua back then, he liked He Hua very much. He had thought about it for a few years, and when He Hua grew up, he would invite him into the palace to accompany him. Who knew that when they met again a few years later, Liang Zhe was already on the high platform surrounded by thick smoke, and when he saw the young man with a face full of soot running to his side, the anger in his heart suddenly turned into relief, so he passed out with peace of mind.

However, Liang Zhe inhaled too much smoke at that time, and because Liang Honglie was hunting the remnants of the former dynasty in the whole city at that time, He Hua could only hide Liang Zhe in the cellar, which caused Liang Zhe to suffer brain damage due to not having enough fresh air. , He was in a coma for a long time, and when he woke up, he became bewildered and foolish.

Although Liang Zhe's consciousness is indeed not clear, the impression left before his coma is still there, and because of the alternation of various memories in his mind, the image of that boy overlapped with the image when they first met, causing Liang Zhe All he wanted was to find that ten-year-old boy who loved to eat jaggery candies, but he didn't even recognize who this grown-up He Hua was who appeared in front of him every day.

He Hua loved Liang Zhe deeply, so how could he disappoint him, so he bought all kinds of beautiful boys to serve Liang Zhe. How could it be possible to think that in Liang Zhe's heart, those teenagers are him at all.

Later, Liang Zhe finally woke up. He Hua happened to be away from the palace at that time and went to find medicine for him, so Liang Zhe spent some time understanding everything that happened. Afterwards, he got very drunk and decided to maintain In the current situation, although he is grateful for He Hua's obsession with him, he doesn't want him to pester him anymore. He hopes that one day He Hua can leave him disheartened.But he forgot that he himself is a persistent person, and so is He Hua.

But now, everything doesn't matter anymore, there are only the two of them here, and there will be only the two of them in the future.

"There is one thing I want to tell you." Liang Zhe gently hugged He Hua into his arms, and whispered in his ear: "Actually, I have always liked older ones, especially those who are older. Shy people with red ears."

Under the light of the ever-burning lamp, Liang Zhe saw as he wished that the ears of the man in his arms turned red instantly.
