Am I a scumbag?

In the battle between Daxia and Chuyue, King Wuluolu was killed, and the priest Amoye disappeared.

It was rumored that Amoyed had defected to Daxia, so Daxia naturally refused to admit it.But this is no longer important, because on that night, a bigger change occurred in the Ministry of the Moon.

The little prince and the eldest prince led the remnant soldiers to gather together with great difficulty. In the middle of the night, the little prince got up and secretly killed the eldest prince.

The little prince was also forced to do so.The brothers were at odds with each other, and now the King Wuluolu who protected him is gone. If he doesn't act first, he will probably die the next day.

On the bank of the fierce yellow sand, Tan Taihong and Liao Xi soon received the news.

Liao Xi: "Since the young master lurked in the moon, the seeds of discord planted among their brothers have finally taken root and germinated and borne evil fruits."

Tan Taihong: "Yes."

The month is completely over.

Although the little prince became the new king of Chuyue, almost all the elites of the country were wiped out.The other grassland tribes were even more moved upon hearing the news, and immediately took advantage of the emptiness to snatch the territory, the livestock, and the reinforcements that originally belonged to Chuyue.At the beginning of the month, the place is full of chaos and can't take care of itself.

Of course, the war against Great Xia cannot continue.

Supported by Luoyun, this hopeful battle ended in Chuyue's disastrous defeat and surrender in just two months. Even the new king of Chuyue had to offer gold and silver treasures, humbly begging the Great Xia army to replace him Drive off some intrusive steppe tribes.

At the end of the summer of that year, the territory of Daxia stretched to the farthest part of the Gobi where Shilu finally chased.

The map was presented by Chuyue Xinwang, and Shilu personally took the "little fire dragon" to draw a new border and ended.

Across the sea, Empress Luoyun also soon heard the news of Chu Yue's defeat and disintegration.

She lost so much support, but ended up with a disastrous defeat. She has never suffered such a big loss in her life.But so what?Great Xia has a vast territory and is far away in the sky, no matter how much Luo Yun wants to restrain its rise, it is impossible for Luo Yun to have enough hands to fight over it.Only in the future will she try to support her neighboring countries Yingzhou or Jiaonan.

But in the battle of Chuyue, the Luoyun treasury was also emptied a lot.After the money is used up, a lot of it can be raised back so quickly, and a year or so is not enough for Luoyun to start a war again.

What's even more exasperating is that Daxia is still extremely sinister.

He even pretended to send back a batch of broken copper and iron with beating gongs and drums, and pretended to be puzzled, huh, it's so strange, why are many of Luoyun's weapons in the moon?It must have been snatched by the Chuyue pirates from the sea, and now it was captured by Daxia, and returned to Chuyue in line with the principle of good-neighborliness and friendship.

This matter was done very high-profile.This action caused many ignorant people in Luoyun Kingdom to think that Daxia is indeed a country of etiquette and trustworthiness in doing things.

Little did they know that Chuyue was an inland steppe country and had no navy at all, let alone pirates? !This is simply slapping the face to show off and make people suffer.

There are more than one or two bad things.

Empress Luoyun actually did a lot of things secretly.For example, in the first half of the year, they sent people to secretly buy grain in Daxia, and secretly banned the sale of Daxia's silk and porcelain in Luoyun.Intending to cooperate with Chuyue's offensive, the interior of Daxia will also be short of food and money, and a mess!

But the result?

Luoyun secretly bought so much, there is still no famine in Daxia.It was only later that I heard that it was the Ministry of Industry that improved the corn and sweet potatoes in Kanyu Kingdom!There is no shortage of food in Daxia, the good guy bought so much food for nothing.

And the side of silk porcelain is even more hateful.

Empress Luoyun really underestimated the insidiousness of some merchants in Daxia.

Luoyun forbade Daxia to sell silk, and Daxia's merchants actually changed the name and style of the silk, embroidered it with more flowers, and directly renamed it "Xia Duan", and insisted that it was not silk and continued to sell it.Also because it is more gorgeous, it is more expensive and more popular.

Luoyun hurriedly issued an order saying that Xia Duan was not allowed to sell, and Daxia was shameless and changed the name again.

Just like this wave after wave of name changes and sales, Luoyun people couldn't react, and the supply of Daxia silk became more and more in short supply.The porcelain side is even more irritating. If the buyer is not allowed to buy it, the merchant changed the firing method and turned it into "enamel", saying that it is not porcelain, and continuing to sell it.

Empress Luoyun was furious, and directly ordered the silk and porcelain ships coming from Daxia not to stop.

But still the Tao is one foot tall and the devil is ten feet high, the blond and blue-eyed businessman from Kanyu Kingdom colluded with Daxia, and the same thing was sold directly from Kanyu Kingdom!

Poirot: "What else? I'm a businessman. After all, money has to be earned."

He is also very good at dismantling, and after transporting the goods to Kanyu, he will immediately sell them to many Kanyu merchants.Luoyun is adjacent to the Kanyu Kingdom, so it is possible to do business with Daxia, but it is impossible to ban the neighboring Kanyu Kingdom.

It's annoying.Empress Luoyun was going to be annoyed to death by Da Xia.

But although she annoys Daxia, she doesn't annoy Daxia's good man Yuwen Changfeng.Yuwen Changfeng said that she was going back to China, and she was quite reluctant to part.

"Otherwise, I will ask Emperor Daxia to marry you."

Yuwen Changfeng: "..."

"Sister," he said, holding on to the empress's slender hand, with a gentle and regretful face, "Although you and I share the same mind, Da Xia and Luo Yun are in different situations after all. Da Xia is a decent man, but he would rather die than be a concubine. My father is an imperial official, and I am the only son in the family. He taught me to be clean and respectful since childhood..."

"But sister, don't worry, Luoyun's teachings of immortality, Xun Chang and I will bring them back to China and carry them forward!"

The development of ghosts?It is to be taken as a warning!As a result, this fool who knows how to talk about people and talk about people is able to get away with it.

Xun Chang died laughing when he heard him say it later: "Hahahahaha."

This is not the worst.

The most detrimental thing is, isn't this the lack of people and free corvees in Xiushuiyan in Daxia?After Xun Chang and Yu Wen Changfeng were instructed by the emperor, before they left, they deliberately revealed a "secret news" in the Luoyun Xianjiao Church, which they had been lurking for a long time.

——I heard that a large amount of gold sand was dug out when the weir was built on the Great Xialuo River!

Therefore, they are anxious to leave, and besides returning to the country to preach, they also want to get a share of the pie.The church was powerful, and this "secret news" spread quickly, and the passenger ship from Luoyun to Daxia was full and it was hard to get a ticket.

On the boat back to Daxia, Yuwen Changfeng was watching the sunset on the deck: "I don't know, after I come here, I will dig the river channel to clear the mud for free, and everyone will work hard and still won't run away, ah~ It's too bad, too bad."

Xun Chang: "Don't worry, Ah Liang is kind, and I won't let them die at a loss. In the end, I will definitely give them some compensation...Let's wait for them to work for free for a year or two, and then Luoshui will also dredge the treasury and have money again. If you do it, you can afford their wages. It’s not a loss, it’s not a loss.”

On the same sea, their boat was passing Tan Taihong and Liao Xi's boat.

On the boat, many people were peeping.

That man with a red tear mole is really good-looking, but he looks a little lonely in a daze at the head of the boat.

Suddenly, a lively voice in the distance shouted: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Tan Taihong felt that the voice was familiar, but when he turned around, the boat had already passed.

There is only a piece of blue sea, white gulls and the coast fading under the setting sun.Liao Xi brought a cloak and said, "Young Master, it's windy at sea, let's go back to the cabin."

Tan Taihong: "Yes."

He looked back for the last time to the east, which was almost invisible in the sunset glow.I thought to myself, Ah Liang, you must have a very good life.Zhuang Qingqu, since you have won him through untold hardships, guard him well and don't make him sad.

Take good care of our homeland.

See you in prosperity.

……

Before Yan Yuliang left Youlan City, he made a special trip to see Shiyun again.

The last time I came here was too sudden, it was impolite to come empty-handed.This time, Yuliang meticulously prepared cakes and wine, and also brought little prince Chuyue's letter of surrender and a new territory map, and put them under the stone together with King Lan's canonization document.

He believed that this was what Shi Yun was most willing to see.

Zhuang Qingqu beside him bowed and took off his emerald finger ring.He lowered his eyes to the side of the two jars of Tusu wine.

Yan Yuliang: "No more?"

Zhuang Qingqu: "I already have Ah Liang, so I can't be too greedy. What's more, Ah Liang also gave me better things."

He hugged Bao Yan and said coolly, the iolite earrings dangling around his ears.

Yan Yuliang remembered that this was what King Lan asked him to beg for when he was a child, that time when King Lan followed him to the West Market but didn't bring any money and was almost detained.Lan Wang saw this earring at the stall, it was not expensive, but it was rare for him to like it.

The second prince was also very poor at the time and had no money, but he still gritted his teeth and bought it for him.

King Lan naturally remembered this matter better.In fact, the second prince liked and doted on him very much when he was young.As long as he is a little cute, I will give him anything immediately.He already has something exclusive to him, so he doesn't need to be greedy anymore.

From Youlan City to Helan Hongzhu, the prefect Yuwen treated them well again.

In the past two months, during the construction of Helan Hongzhu City, a good place was dug out. It was actually a hot spring. It was just built and waited for the emperor to soak for the first time. "Okay, what's the deal?

Helan Hongzhu City has a new cash cow!

……

The hot spring is dense, and the surrounding trees cover the sky and the sun, which is very secret and quiet.

At night, the faint moonlight shines through the treetops, a few small wind lanterns, accompanied by the singing of cicadas, Zhuang Qingqu was afraid that Yan Yuliang would fall, and held him horizontally all the way until he was put into the hot spring.

Now he is helping Yan Yuliang to wash his hair, delicately brushing soap locusts little by little.

But Yan Yuliang's half face was not in the spring water, and he wandered in a daze, spitting bubbles.

After he lay down with a headache in Youlan City for a few days, the pain disappeared after that, and he continued to jump up and down lively and cheerfully.The found medicinal herbs were also dried and sealed by the military doctor, and they were plentiful and good.

Lan Wang's jealousy towards Tan Taihong was also very moderate this time.

Hearing that Tan Taihong followed the emperor to look for medicine for a few days, he just showed his displeasure with a cold face, but it was no longer the same intense emotions that were on the verge of collapse like last time.

But Yan Yuliang was still afraid of his grievances, and explained a lot to him.

He told him in detail how he met Tan Taihong, how he found medicine, what he said and did.In order to reassure Zhuang Qingqu, he even told about Liao Xi.

That night, Zhuang Qingqu held him in his arms.After it was over, she held him in her arms and clasped her fingers tightly, telling him in a hoarse voice, I know, I believe in Ah Zhao.

Ah Zhao is relieved.Although I am stingy, I am not unreasonable.

He said, I am better than Tantai.

More frank than him, more persistent than him, love A Zhao more than him.

He can't beat me.I haven't won since I was a child, and I can't win when I grow up.

He also said that Ah Zhao, you are so stupid, you are going to find medicine for me, so why should I use excuses to think wildly and blame you?In your heart, am I just making trouble for no reason?

No.

The long hair was washed little by little, and Yan Yuliang hesitated to speak several times.

The forehead began to throb slightly again.The spring water was boiling hot, but he felt that his fingertips and chest were so cold.The small wind lamp around him flickered on and off, just like his chaotic heart.

"Qing Qu, I..."

Emperor Jin Yu was rarely in such chaos.Until this moment, he was not sure, what was he going to say?

In fact, he could not remember the things before amnesia.

Even if you never "do not remember", there is nothing wrong with it.

King Lan has always treated him very well.After experiencing so many sad things, he still remains the same and willingly wants to protect him.Why should he bring it up again.

If you don't mention it, you can start all over again with such love and love.Instead, he mentioned that he was afraid of destroying the same sweetness that was built bit by bit and was so real in front of him with his own hands.

He is the emperor.Back then, the great summer was turbulent, and he had his own difficulties.He is not a god who cannot cover everything, and there are people who cannot help themselves, must sacrifice, and are destined to fail.

He was wrong, but he didn't mean to.

Fortunately, there is still time for everything, and I just want to treat him well in the future.

From now on, use a lifetime of tenderness to make up for him, so the previous scars can be unrecovered.King Lan has been covering up for him, always saying "Azhao has never done anything wrong", King Lan certainly does not want him to bring up the old things again.

Yan Yuliang closed his eyes.

The nose is very sour, which makes my brain hurt.

There was a sound of water.Lan Wang put his strong and well-proportioned arms around his waist from behind, and kissed him gently.With a faint wind lamp, he saw that there was a mixture of distress and worry in those shallow bright eyes.

"I'm here, Ah Zhao. I'm always here."

"My family, Ah Zhao, was always very happy before, but what happened recently? He also learned to hide his thoughts, and also learned to force a smile. Fu Ling said that you are not good lately."

Yan Yuliang's eyes burned even more.

He actually forgot that this person was the roundworm in his stomach.He can't hide any emotions from him.

"What are you thinking about? Could it be... thinking about Tantai?"

Yan Yuliang: "No!"

Zhuang Qingqu: "Well, I know. I'm just kidding, but look, Azhao, if you keep holding back and don't say anything, I will feel uneasy and can't help thinking wildly. So..."

He kissed his forehead: "tell me?"

Yan Yuliang nodded, his voice hoarse: "Hug me first, okay?"

"it is good."

Zhuang Qingqu hugged him.Continue to kiss him tenderly, pecking at the tip of the nose and the corners of the lips.Not contaminated with any lust, only endless comfort and love.

"Azhao. Don't worry, we've been through so much, you can tell me anything."

"It's impossible for anything to shake my heart towards Ah Zhao, don't be afraid."

As he spoke, he picked up the hot water to feast on Yu Liang's shoulders, his handsome face was full of tenderness.That kind of caress gave Yan Yuliang a breath of relief like a drowning person, and a moment of pain relief for a person who has been hacked into pieces.

But once I think about it, it only hurts my heart.

"My concubine mother..." After a while, he said calmly, "It didn't die of illness, but was killed by Concubine Yu Yuan."

Zhuang Qingqu: "What?"

His eyes were shocked, followed by heartache and unbearable.

Yan Yu's eyes drooped coldly.

His mother and concubine did not die of illness, but was pushed into the lotus pond by a group of maids and guards of Concubine Yu Yuan in front of him on a winter snowy night.

And he was behind the rockery at that time, and the personal maid serving his mother and concubine tightly covered his mouth. It was extremely cold that day, and only the hot tears of the two of them kept falling silently.

Not long after his concubine's death, he was sent to Concubine Yu Yuan's side, respectfully trying to survive.

For so many years, no one knew that he knew the inside story back then, and no one even suspected that he knew.Everyone only saw him serving the third prince honestly and doing his best.Gradually, she became less defensive towards him.

In the 35th year of Xuanming, the third prince was at odds with the prince, and the prince set fire to death in a rage.

Concubine Yu Yuan had never been hit like this before, and she was ill all night long.

Yan Yuliang took her nine-year-old younger brother Yan Luoying to visit her.Concubine Yu Yuan knew her time was approaching, so she begged Yan Yuliang to take care of her youngest son.She felt that the second prince was kind-hearted and a good boy, and begged him not to bear any grudges for her harsh treatment of him in the past many years.

Yan Yuliang lowered his eyes: "No, how could Yan Zhao hate the imperial concubine because of those trivial things?"

"Even if you hold grudges, it's definitely not just because of...those little things."

The concubine's loving smile froze on her face, her almond eyes widened.Overwhelmed by guilt, she was horrified and unbelievable: "You, you..."

"I always knew."

"What the imperial concubine did to my biological mother ten years ago, I saw it with my own eyes. Fortunately, good and evil are rewarded in this world. Now the imperial concubine has personally tasted the pain of losing a loved one. A Ning died young... It's even worse. Pity."

"That's all. The imperial concubine needs to take good care of her illness, and my son will retire."

"Cough, cough, cough, wait, you...you make it clear!" The noble concubine on the bed threw herself desperately, but she never grabbed Yan Yuliang's leaving sleeve, her eyes were filled with tears and her voice hissed, "My son Shu Ning, could it be you, could it be you!"

Yan Yuliang: "How could it be me."

"Everyone says it's the prince, so of course the prince did it."

"The third prince is gone, and the prince must take the greatest advantage. Unless the prince is also deposed...then there are only two princes left. Although Ying'er is more honorable than me, she is too young after all."

"However, please rest assured, imperial concubine, if Yan Zhao can really ascend to the position of prince, in the future the king will naturally take care of the fourth prince just as he takes care of the third prince."

The imperial concubine vomited blood with a "wow".

Yan Yuliang went out, and the maids hurried into the house when they heard the movement.After a while, he heard the scream of the maid "I'm not good", and the sound of crying in panic.

He didn't care.

Walked all the way to the imperial garden, and took away the fourth brother who was fluttering butterflies as if nothing had happened.And helped him wipe the dirt off his pants.

That night there was a news of mourning, and the imperial concubine and empress passed away.

……

The hot spring was quiet, Yan Yuliang lowered his eyes: "So Lanlan, look, look at me."

"For so many years, I have lied to Concubine Yu Yuan, Shu Ning, Xiao Ying, and everyone else. And Tantai, I was so good to him back then, but when I let him go, I actually protected him and sent Liao Xi kept looking at him."

"You're right, I have no heart."

"I treat him like that, but I can imagine how I treat you."

"..."

"There is something, I think Qing Qu you already know. I have been secretly investigating the Zhuang family and the Tantai family since I was not the crown prince."

Zhuang Qingqu: "Yes. Ah Zhao, I know all about it."

Yan Yuliang closed his eyes.

"Azhao," Zhuang Qingqu called him softly, telling him to look at him.Yan Yuliang opened his slightly red eyes, and saw Lan Wang's serious and clear eyes.

"But, shouldn't we check?"

"Back then, my family and the Tantai Clan did have exclusive power. Ah Zhao just did... what he was supposed to do."

"Tantaihong is not someone in the pool. If he has no intention of seeking rebellion, you can ask Liao Xi to take care of him after years of friendship. If he really lied to you, let Liao Xi kill him. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"As for Concubine Yu Yuan, who killed Empress Xixue, Ah Zhao took revenge on her...was it wrong again?"

"My Ah Zhao is not wrong, nothing is wrong."

correct……

But in fact, he still has a lot to say.

He also remembered many other things.

I remembered Jinyu's four-year quarrel in Tangquan Palace.Zhuang Qingqu was covered in blood and grabbed his shoulders, with tears in his red eyes, and asked him miserably why he lied to him.

Before that expedition, it was clear that he had an ambiguous and intimate attitude when he sent him away.He hugged him, and said with a serious face that Xiao Zhuang should take care, and I will wait for you to come back.

Zhuang Qingqu was also only that year. After confessing his love a year ago, he only got the answer of "becoming a younger brother".At the moment, my heart was sweet and sad, and my heart was itchy, and I whispered that I wanted a kiss before leaving.

What Yan Yuliang said at the time was that now I know Xiao Zhuang's intentions, and I will give you back when you triumph, okay?I'll give you everything then, okay?

At that moment, Zhuang Qingqu looked flattered and dizzy with happiness.

But who would have thought that Emperor Jin Yu would not speak well, and turned his head across the river and demolished the bridge.

Zhuang Qingqu won the battle, but found that Tantaihong was still alive, and came back to make a fuss.Emperor Jin Yu allowed him to make trouble, but he didn't half explain or comfort him.Zhuang Qingqu, who was eighteen or nineteen years old, couldn't bear this kind of deception and gap. The more he was avoided coldly, the more he chased after him like a mad dog. The officials all saw him as disrespectful.

There were constant wars in those years.Soon, he went to fight Yingzhou and Yuelu again.

More outstanding military exploits and higher titles, but in return only Emperor Jinyu was more alienated and guarded against him.

In those years, King Lan was always like a poor little dog wanting to ask for a reward, asking for credit with a bone he got in a hard-fought fight, hoping that the owner would pat his head.

But with despair again and again, he also changed.Since he couldn't get the reward, he went to grab it.He began to be unscrupulous, repeatedly refusing to listen to persuasion, and went straight to the emperor's bedroom to do whatever he wanted. Even in the Jinluan Hall, he dared to look directly at the emperor with hatred in despair.

The officials couldn't understand it, they only thought that he was domineering.

For a while, it was rumored that after Zhuang Qingqu regained Yanyun's lost land, he despised the Holy One and admonished the Holy One all day long, exactly the same as Zhuang Xinhuo back then.

The group of ministers have experienced years of suffering from power ministers, once bitten by snakes and afraid of well ropes for ten years.Letters of impeachment were filed one after another.

In the fifth year of Jinyu, Emperor Jinyu took advantage of the power of his officials to strip Zhuang Qingqu of his military power.

Zhuang Qingqu naturally resisted, broke into the Chuwei Palace countless times to have fierce quarrels and riots, and asked him desperately why he would never be trusted despite his heart and soul.

After wasting like that, the most unbearable scene came.

Jinyu prepared for the Northern Desert for six years.The emperor gave Shilu the Luliu Camp of King Lan, and the Wutong Army of Shilu to Xia Houlie.As for King Lan, the emperor's high position emptied King Lan and wouldn't let him go anywhere.

But how could Zhuang Qingqu not go?

The two quarreled countless times, and they would fight after the fight. After the fight, the emperor was pressed to death on the bed again and again.

The obsession of lust in Tangquan Palace.Kissing, rubbing, and violent ups and downs, the emperor's hands were tied with ropes, panting, Zhuang Qingqu lowered his head and kissed his frowning brows.His eyes were full of pain and exhaustion, but he laughed out loud.

He hugged his sticky body tightly and murmured, Ah Zhao.

You are so hard-hearted that you won't believe me no matter what, aren't you?

well.

If I give you my life, can you feel at ease?

Thousand Chance Gu was brought back by King Lan from Yuelu. Originally, Zhuang Qingqu didn't bring it back to poison anyone, but just thought that the purple crystal liquid looked very good in a glass bottle.

At night, there will be some bright colors like fireflies, and he wants Azhao to see them.

Emperor Jin Yu watched helplessly as he drank the poison.

He tried to struggle to get up, but he was tied up and he couldn't move.

...Did it have to be that moment for the heartless emperor to know the pain of his heart being pinched for the first time.Could it be that it was not until that moment that Zhuang Qingqu experienced the long-term pain and despair that he was able to appreciate one of the thousands.
