then Li Sao

Zhou Tang drafted this edict more than a dozen times, wrote it, revised it, and threw it away.Seeing that he seemed to have finally made up his mind, the eunuch hurriedly dipped the ink pad on the jade seal, but His Majesty the Emperor directly burned the imperial edict on the candlestick.

Chief eunuch: "..."

Zhou Tang: "... put out the fire."

Chief eunuch: "Observe the order."

Having been by the emperor's side for so long, the eunuch understood the master's temperament very well.The emperor has always been decisive in doing things, and he has never hesitated about anything before.Although he was illiterate and couldn't understand what was written in the edict, he could guess that this matter must be related to that Prime Minister Luo.

After the Xizhao Guoshi left, the emperor had been tossing all night, and seeing that it was almost time for the morning court, the eunuch had no choice but to remind: "Your majesty..."

Zhou Tang sighed, picked up a pen and rewrote the imperial edict, and finally stamped it with a seal.As if looking at it too much was too disturbing, he casually threw it to the eunuch and said, "Go to court."

Luo Ping stood respectfully first on the right. After Zhou Tang sat on the dragon chair, he never took his eyes off him.He didn't speak, just stared at him gloomyly, which frightened the civil and military officials below into silence.

Fang Jin didn't know what happened to those two people, and felt that the atmosphere was not very good, so he could only make a list of something: "His Majesty, Xizhao's Prince Fengde and the national teacher are leaving Beijing today, do you want to see me off?" Go three or five miles, to show respect?"

It's okay if you don't say this, as soon as you say it, it just touches Zhou Tang's back.

Zhou Tang said coldly: "How much is three or five miles? It's a long way to go to Xizhao, Fang Qing, you can send it a hundred miles."

Fang Jin was at a loss, seeing Zhou Tang's appearance didn't look like he was joking, so he replied in a daze, "It's... Baili."

Only then did Zhou Tang let the eunuch announce the decree——

In accordance with the fate of heaven, the emperor issued an edict: "Today, Prime Minister Luo Ping is dispatched to Xizhao to go with the national teacher and others to send Princess Rujun and Prince Fengde to get married. On behalf of Dacheng, discuss with King Xizhao about diplomatic relations and the conclusion of a treaty."return within three months.This is it. [Note: The so-called Princess Rujun is the daughter of a high-ranking official and nobleman randomly selected by Zhou Tang, who is married in the name of a princess. 】

Oh... Fang Jin understood why it was Baili.

Luo Ping was a little surprised, but he didn't say anything, and thanked him.

Zhou Tang felt very upset, he wished Luo Ping would say that he was unwell or something like an excuse, then he would definitely annul this imperial decree immediately.

There is no joke, if it is not for the early end of these things, he does not want the little master to leave him.

Luo Ping hurried back to the mansion to pack up his things, and was about to go on the road with the national teacher and the others.

Fang Jin waited outside, the pomp was full.Zhou Tang didn't dare to come over in person, only scratching his heart and liver in the palace alone.It was so uncomfortable that he sent someone to bring a kit, but Luo Ping accepted it and didn't read it for a while.

There was a lot of chaos in Luo's house, Luo Xiaoan stretched out his arms to be hugged by Luo Ping, crying until his face was covered with tears and snot.

Luo Ping was helpless, hugging him and comforting him softly: "Xiao An, don't cry, Daddy will come back soon, and bring you delicious and fun things... You have to be good at home, and you have to listen to the housekeeper's grandfather, do you hear me?"

Luo Xiaoan whimpered, "I want to go with Daddy!"

Seeing how sad he was, Luo Ping also felt some sadness about parting. He was cruel, and he told the housekeeper to hug him: "Get Xiao An some sweet soup to help sleep. If there is trouble again, just say... just say bad people Brother will come and catch him."

Mr. Nuonuo, the housekeeper, coaxed Xiao An into the house, and Luo Ping escaped.

All the way to the west, Fang Jin really sent a hundred miles to the west.When saying goodbye, he said to Luo Ping: "Three months, do you think the emperor can endure it?"

Luo Ping glanced at him indifferently: "Your Majesty is an adult now, and it's not Xiao An, who wants to be hugged by Daddy."

Fang Jin shook his head and said nothing, thinking that he just wanted you to hug and coax him.

Luo Ping declined to ride with the national teacher, and returned to his own car to rest.Thinking of the kit given by Zhou Tang, he opened it to look at it.He was stunned to see this.

Zhou Tang also learned from him succinctly, and only said two sentences: one is "Ling Tang has returned to the country to express his feelings, so don't be too happy to leave", and the other is "three months is for others to listen to, and you can come back within two months up!"

Luo Ping knew that this trip was to solve his embarrassing identity problem. This matter was all a debt of favor, and it was not easy to handle at all.Zhou Tang was too anxious to give him such a little time.

But... the domineering look of that person could almost be seen in front of his eyes, Luo Ping pursed his lips, and still smiled.

After passing through Gouliang, they just arrived in Xizhao, and they were greeted by the wedding of Princess Rujun and Prince Fengde.

After all, King Xizhao had a good face, and told his subjects that the prince was going to welcome his relatives, so Prince Fengde had to take Princess Rujun to accept the blessings of his subjects, and Xiangwan was the princess who was returned, so he had to hide it from a side door. into town.

The wedding was done properly, and Rujun became a real prince and concubine. King Xizhao also said that in the future, when Xiangwan's child is born, he will be adopted to Rujun.This was very cruel to Xiangwan, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Only then did she suddenly realize that the romantic relationship between herself and Fengde could only be hidden in the dark forever.Yes, Fengde loves her, but sometimes "love" is not enough to satisfy her.

She also wanted a name, and she was going crazy thinking about it.

When Luo Ping saw her in the palace that day, she was only wearing plain clothes, no makeup was applied, her former beauty and grace had completely disappeared, only a thin and thin figure was left, standing by the gate of the palace and staring at the north.

Over there is the sound of gongs and drums, a feast of fine wine, and only the newlyweds laugh.

In fact, Luo Ping sympathizes with her a little, and he has also looked at those things that he couldn't ask for.

It's just that those things have already been covered by heavy snow and frozen to death in memory.

A week after arriving in Xizhao, King Xizhao summoned Luoping in the apse, which was an inner palace that was not allowed to be entered by non-royal relatives except for the national teacher.There Luoping met his family.

He had never seen his mother wearing such gorgeous Xizhao royal costumes. She wore the long-expired title of "Princess Ziran" and stepped up the stone steps of the palace step by step, so calm that she didn't seem to leave here at all. nearly 40 years of people.

And his father, sister and brother-in-law.His father was getting fatter again, but he was in good spirits. When he saw the son who became the prime minister from a distance, he smiled and narrowed his eyes.Luo Mi has married and is a mature and beautiful woman. Her husband is a border guard general in Gouliang. When she married, Luo Ping checked him carefully. He is a good young man.

Luo Ping admitted that he had a slight blood relationship with the Xizhao royal family.It's just that in this family, except for the mother, they are all out of tune with Xi Zhao.They are the people of Dacheng, and this has never wavered.

As expected, "Princess Ziran Princess" came up and knelt down to express his feelings, which shocked the audience.

She said: "Marry a chicken and follow a chicken. Marry a dog and follow a dog. Ziran chose this path. From that day on, Ziran's honor and disgrace have nothing to do with Xi Zhao. Of course, so do my children. Their surnames are Luo, not Yu Yanmo."

King Xizhao held back his stomach, but he didn't say anything that he said with emotion and reason, and she blocked them all.

He looked at Luo Ping dejectedly, and thought, indeed, this child is not at all like Yu Yanmo's family, his brows and eyes are so flat, and his lips are so thin... On the contrary, Luo Mi looks very similar to her mother, as beautiful as in a painting Xian, it's a pity that she also married a great inheritor.

He helped Ziran up and said: "The members of the royal family are withered, could it be that the fate really wants to kill me, Xi Zhao?"

Ziran comforted him: "Isn't there another child to be born? He has such a pure Xizhao bloodline, as long as he can survive, won't it prove that Xizhao's life is not exhausted?"

"But……"

"The national teacher had anticipated such a situation in the early years. Back then, he did not hesitate to risk a serious crime to help me escape. In fact, it was not for me, but for Xi Zhao. He wanted to leave more possibilities for Xi Zhao. Your Majesty, Xi Zhao can no longer Standing still, the words of the ancestors who were blessed by the gods can no longer save the country."

"What do you mean by dyeing you?"

"Don't keep the so-called dignity of the royal family anymore. All the relatives in the court should be replaced, and the position of auxiliary country should be occupied by those who can. Because of the arrogance and ignorance of the royal family, how many loyal ministers and generals did Xizhao lose? Their blood is in the temple You can't rest day and night." At this point, she didn't forget to seek benefits for her family, "And the trade road between Xizhao and Dacheng should also be expanded. Those earlier ones were simply not enough."

King Xizhao pondered: "If you say this, if it was in the past, I would definitely have sent you to the temple to be punished. But now that you think about it... Ziran, you are right, we Xizhao are too conceited."

Ziran strikes while the iron is hot: "Your Majesty's original marriage plan failed, but Dacheng still intends to marry Xi Zhao, which shows that Dacheng has taken the lead in showing his love. He sent Princess Rujun, and the next step is to see your sincerity." .”

"My sincerity..."

Luo Ping frowned.When did Zhou Tang collude with his mother?

What kind of idea is he trying to encourage his mother to design his own homeland?

The matter was not finished that day, Ziran seemed not in a hurry, saying that it was rare to go back to China, and wanted to take a good look, visit and relax, and of course the whole family agreed.

So Luo Ping had no choice but to wait and see what happened.

----

Zhou Tang has been very irritable recently.He couldn't sit still in the palace at all, couldn't sleep at night, couldn't read the books, and didn't know what to do when he was free.

That morning, he dismissed the guards and wandered around, and somehow wandered to Fudong Palace.This remote small courtyard has been cleaned because of his instructions, but after he became the throne, he was busy with everything, and he seldom came here again.

Facing the courtyard door inadvertently at this moment brought back many memories of this place.

He remembered sitting on the bed alone in a daze when he was a child, remembering the cold meals, remembering the fear of getting lost in the bamboo forest, and also remembering that gloomy rainy afternoon, when Luo Ping came to see him with an umbrella, with a bright star hanging from his temple. drops of water.Then his time here, became brighter...

Pushing open the wooden door, Zhou Tang couldn't help but startled.

I don't know when there was a small pond in the yard, and there was a person beside the pond.

The man was startled when he saw him, and immediately saluted: "My concubine pays homage to Your Majesty."

"Why are you here?" Zhou Tang approached her and asked her, seeing a few small lotus flowers growing in the pond.

"Master Luo asked me to help take care of this place. He said that the lotus must be taken good care of. When it blooms, he puts tea leaves in the lotus stamens in the evening and takes them out in the morning. His Majesty loves the tea made like this. Drink." Concubine Zhi answered after consideration, "I have nothing to do these few days, and my concubine will follow suit. If Your Majesty likes it, you might as well try it."

"You really have a heart." Zhou Tang nodded in appreciation, he really likes to drink lotus tea.As for this concubine Zhi, the little master also took great pains, "Don't worry about me, you can go on with your work."

"Yes."

Seeing that Concubine Zhi had collected almost everything, Zhou Tang suddenly asked, "Do you want to be a queen?"

Concubine Zhi paused, and said frankly, "I want to."

Zhou Tang asked: "Do you like me?"

Concubine Zhi looked at him with a bright smile: "I don't like it."

After getting such an answer, Zhou Tang couldn't help being a little surprised: "You really dare to say that you don't like me, so why do you want to be my queen? Is it just for those false names and rights?"

"Your Majesty, who among the women in the palace doesn't want to sit on the queen's seat? But the reasons may not be the same. Some women want love, some women want power, and some women want both."

"What do you want?"

"The concubine just wants a comfortable life." Concubine Zhi said, "The He family has experienced both honor and disgrace from its prosperity to its decline, and Yuzhi has also learned a lot. Falling in love with the king is too painful, it is better not to love. So Yu Zhi doesn't care how His Majesty treats me. But the Queen's position is very important, because it allows the few remaining He family members to live comfortably."

"Since that's the case, I will let you be the queen." Zhou Tang said, "This is an agreement between me and Luo Qing. From now on, the people who come in from the harem will be under your control. But you remember, the only one in my life Ai Luoping, from now on the harem has nothing to do with me."

"Yes, the concubine has remembered." Concubine Zhi knelt down to thank her.She had vaguely guessed what was going on between these two people, but now that the emperor said it himself, she still finds it inconceivable.

"Give me the lotus tea, you have worked hard."

Zhou Tang went back and made tea by himself. It smelled delicious, but he always felt something was wrong.

Falling in love with the king is too painful, why not love?What kind of bullshit theory is this, he wants to prove to the world that the love of an emperor can also be single-minded.As I heard it sung in an opera one day:

Yusheng blows through the romantic son, and I love it so much.

When Prime Minister Luo was sent to Xizhao for a month, Zhou Tang appointed Concubine Zhi as his queen.

After the Queen's Sealing Ceremony, he felt more and more bored, to the point of unbearable boredom.All night and all night, Xiao thought about the voice and taste of the little master, pitiful for a dignified emperor, suffering from abstinence.

Unable to hold on anymore, he thought of going to Luo Mansion to stay. Although the Luoping people were not there, it was his home after all, with the most traces left by him.

So Zhou Tang cheekily told the courtiers that he was ill and that he was going to rest for a month, and Fang Taiwei would handle all the affairs on his behalf, and then hid in the prime minister's mansion.

Fang Jin suddenly became the pillar of the court, and he was so busy that he was going crazy. He now burns incense three times a day, hoping that Luo Ping will come back early to save him from the sea of ​​suffering, otherwise he will not be able to live through this day.

Zhou Tang went to the Prime Minister's Mansion in a micro-clothes, and as soon as he entered, he saw a scene that left him speechless.

Luo Xiaoan ran around the yard with her bare feet: "Wow!!! Xiaoan wants Daddy to hug her! Daddy! Woooooo!"

The housekeeper chased after him: "Master An, be good, don't make trouble. Come on, look, this is the snack that Aunt Sun brought you."

Luo Xiaoan ignored him: "Woooo! Xiaoan misses Daddy! Where did Daddy go? Does he not want Xiaoan anymore?"

The housekeeper was out of breath: "Master An, huh, Master An, don't run away, be careful not to fall..."

"I want daddy!"

"Master An..."

"Daddy come back soon! Xiao An won't eat until Daddy comes back!"

"Master An!" The housekeeper finally got angry, "If you make trouble again, I'll call the villain brother to arrest you!"

Luo Xiaoan stopped talking in an instant, stumbled in fright, and threw herself into someone's arms.Looking up, his little face turned pale with fright, and he turned to ask for help: "Grandpa housekeeper, I was wrong! I will eat obediently, woo woo, let the bad guy brother go back..."

The housekeeper knelt down as soon as he saw Zhou Tang, he was the one who was frightened, how could he have the guts to save him.

Zhou Tang easily subdued Luo Xiaoan's struggle, hugged him and said, "Since when did I become a villain who scares children?"

The butler kept wiping the sweat from his brow: "Your Majesty redeemed. That, that... is the master's order. Only in this way can Master An be more peaceful."

Zhou Tang looked at Luo Xiaoan with disgust, took the handkerchief from the butler, and roughly wiped the snot and tears off his face.

Luo Xiaoan's nose was red from wiping him, but he didn't dare to utter a word from the beginning to the end.

Zhou Tang asked the housekeeper to leave the snacks, took Luo Xiaoan into the house, and fed him himself.Luo Xiaoan looked at him tremblingly, and obediently ate it, crying while eating.

Even Zhou Tang couldn't bear the pitiful appearance, he frowned and said, "How can a majestic man cry casually!"

Luo Xiaoan murmured: "But I miss Daddy...bad...good brother, take me to find Daddy..."

You really have face, you clearly wanted to call me a "bad guy" just now!Zhou Tang suppressed his anger, that's all, what's the fuss with a little idiot.

"Your father just went to another country for a visit, and he will come back after seeing the king. We just wait for him obediently."

"He has been away for a long time, is it because the king won't let daddy come back?"

"impossible."

"Daddy is so powerful, he can be an official and earn money, and he is gentle..."

Zhou Tang paused, yes, he is so nice, and he is related to the royal family of Xizhao, what if he really doesn't come back!What if King Xizhao loses his temper and makes him a prince!What if his mother can't convince him!

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, Zhou Tang stood up abruptly, and said with Luo Xiaoan in his hand, "Let's go, let's go find your father!"

"Oh! Go find daddy!" Luo Xiaoan became happy, and kissed Zhou Tang on the face.

"What are you doing!" Zhou Tang was shocked.

"Xiao An likes a good brother, if daddy says he likes it, he can kiss him!"

"..." Zhou Tang's face turned black, "You are not allowed to kiss your father in the future, do you hear me?"

Luo Xiaoan pursed her mouth and said nothing, her big eyes were still full of joy.He now knows that this big brother is not scary at all, but he has a bit of a bad temper, but he is actually a good person.

The housekeeper sent the two people out of the mansion without a clue, and immediately called the servant to order: "Quickly, go and inform Taiwei Fang, and say that the emperor brought Young Master An to Xizhao to find the master, hurry up!"

The servant rushed to report the news. At this time, Mrs. Sun came back from buying vegetables and happened to see the big and small going out.

The older one let the younger one carry the burden: "You are my servant, you must be obedient!"

The little one struggled to carry the burden: "Oh!"

After walking a few steps, the big one and the small one walked slowly, so they simply picked up the person and the burden: "Forget it, forget it, how long are you going to go like this! Let's go buy a carriage first!"

Aunt Sun pointed at them and whispered to the housekeeper: "Look at this stupidity, take a look, do these two look like brothers?"

brother?The butler stretched his neck and looked, huh?It seems... a bit like it.

----

Princess Ziran played for more than half a month, and Luo Ping stayed in the temple for more than half a month.

To his surprise, Xizhao's temple was even bigger than the royal palace.Built against the mountain, the gods believed by Xizhao are enshrined inside.The temple is in charge of the national teacher. There are not many priests, only a dozen or so people, but there are many people who come to pray for God every day.

The national teacher told Luo Ping: "The underground palace of the temple has three floors. The first floor is where the gods in charge of the underworld in Xizhao's religion are placed. The second floor is the spiritual tablets of the ancestors of the Xizhao royal family. A prison for people. The spirit tablets of gods and royal families enshrine the souls of those who die there."

Luo Ping learned a lot about Xizhao's cultural legends with the national teacher, and he finally knew what King Xizhao always mentioned about the divine punishment, which was the prophecy of the previous national teachers.

At that time, the fifth generation King Xizhao was originally a good emperor who governed the country diligently, and he was assisted by the third national teacher.The third national teacher is the most talented woman in the history of the temple. It is said that she has a pair of green pupils that can see through the three worlds.

King Xizhao fell in love with this woman like a demon, and he did not hesitate to violate the taboo in the temple because of her, burning scriptures and destroying statues, so that the female national teacher was forced to lock herself in the third floor of the underground palace, and committed suicide by bleeding. to appease the wrath of the gods.

Later that generation of King Xizhao fell insane for no reason, and the medicine and stones failed, and he passed away soon after.From that day on, every national teacher will receive a warning when Fushi tells his fate, saying that Xizhao will be punished by heaven.

But in this generation, the originally prosperous Xizhao royal family has withered to a single lineage, and even the next generation is the result of incest between close relatives. This made King Xizhao quite panic, so he said "borrowing orders" from Dacheng.

Luo Ping sighed: "I didn't really believe in the theory of ghosts and gods at first, but now I can understand that there are really all kinds of wonders in this world, and the so-called fate may also exist."

The national teacher said with a smile: "Of course fate exists, otherwise how would I have met someone like you?"

Luo Ping's eyes flickered slightly: "What does the national teacher mean?"

The national teacher didn't answer in a hurry, but took a compass and calculated it. After a while, the pointer of the compass stopped.

He said a date: "The tenth day of March in the year of Dingmao. This is your birth date in this life. It is not counted from the time when the newborn baby was born, but from the time when you returned to the world from the underworld. I am right. ?"

Luo Ping's heart trembled, the tenth day of March in the year of Dingmao, that is, the twenty-first year of Xuantong.That day, he returned to the Hanlin Academy's spring feast, and met the young Zhou Tang...

The national teacher said: "I don't know why you were reborn, but I know that fate can be repeated, but karma cannot be repeated. You have reached this point, and the karma of all of us is already different."

"Is it... different?"

"Yes, including the death you fear."

When Luo Ping came out of the temple, he heard a news that made him unbelievable—the king of Dacheng, holding a child with a snot in his arms, was looking for him...

Now they are in the palace hall and have been negotiating for two hours.

Luo Ping ran over in a hurry, Zhou Tang didn't care, what happened to the child with a snotty nose!

When he arrived at the entrance of the main hall, he happened to hear Zhou Tang's concluding statement: "In short, as long as Luo Ping stays in Dacheng for a day, Dacheng will guarantee the safety of Xizhao, prosper and prosper together, humiliate and humiliate, and a contract can be signed as proof. "

His mother answered: "The time has come to show Xizhao's sincerity."

King Xizhao said with a smile on his face: "Okay, okay, let's make a contract."

Before Luo Ping realized what happened, King Xizhao's jade seal had already been pressed onto a piece of parchment, and he hurried over to take it out for a look: "What contract? Your Majesty? What are you doing!"

But before his hand touched the parchment, he was thrown backward by Luo Xiaoan: "Daddy!"

Luo Ping barely stood still, hugged him and said, "Little An, be good." His eyes were still looking at Zhou Tang reproachfully—is this what a king should look like!Abandoning state affairs and running over to act recklessly?

Zhou Tang looked back at him in disbelief - without you, the prime minister, staring at me, I would not be able to govern the country, so I have to use a contract to make you sever ties with Xi Zhao.

The flirting here is not over yet, and there is another lion's roar: "What? Ping'er, when did you become a father and mother? Why don't you know! Daughter-in-law!"

Luo Ping froze there for a moment, not knowing how to explain, Zhou Tang stepped up to Luo's mother, and whispered in his ear: "He picked it up, but my mother-in-law, your son-in-law is me, this one didn't run away."

Click!Lom petrified.

King Xizhao also came to join in the fun: "This doll is very cute. In fact, he is also a member of our Xizhao royal family..."

"Don't make up his mind!" Zhou Tang interrupted angrily, completely protecting his brother's face, "He is not Luo Ping's own, and has nothing to do with you Xi Zhao! And he is still an idiot!"

"Xiao'an is not an idiot..." Luo Xiao'an lay in Luo Ping's arms, mouth flattened.

"How can Your Majesty say that about him!" Luo Ping patted Xiao An and reprimanded him in a low voice.

"Hmph!" Zhou Tang didn't dare to get angry with them, so he rolled his eyes at King Xizhao.

Ziran persevered: "Xiao'an, come on, grandma hugs."

Luo Ping held his forehead: "Mother..."

On that day, the Xizhao Palace rarely returned to its former bustle.

----

Fang Jin's incense was quite effective, and the emperor and Prime Minister Luo finally came back within three months.

After returning from the mission this time, it was as if nothing had happened. Luo Ping was still the prime minister with power over the court, and Zhou Tang was still the emperor who governed the country rigorously.

However, Prime Minister Luo's two books were pushed back, which had never happened before.The emperor's advice to Prime Minister Luo can be said to be obedient and obedient.

Later, out of curiosity, Fang Jin asked Luo Ping what the two notes said.

Luo Ping didn't hide anything: "One is to persuade him to draft a concubine, and the other is that I want to retire and return home."

Fang Jin said: "Of course he won't agree to the first one, so don't mention it. The second one...Mu Quan, don't you want to be the prime minister wholeheartedly? Why do you want to return to your hometown again?"

Luo Ping said: "I handed the two papers together. If he wants to accept a concubine, why don't I resign?"

After thinking about this sentence twice in his heart, Fang Jin finally understood the key point, shook his head and sighed with a smile: "Your Majesty the Emperor who threatens us so much is indeed an old fox..."

Because of this matter, Zhou Tang had a special talk with Luo Ping.

He spread a piece of raw rice paper on the table, and wrote a few words for Luo Ping to read.Luo Ping stepped forward to look, and the three words appeared vividly on the paper——

Ping the world.

Zhou Tang asked him: "Little master, what do you think of my writing?"

Luo Ping said: "Your Majesty was able to write the word '天下' very well when he was a child, and now these three characters are even more powerful. The traces of introversion in the early years are gone, the pen is sharp and decisive, and the momentum is like a rainbow. It has improved."

"Then do you know what these three words mean?"

"What does it mean? Naturally, it means to calm the world and make the people happy."

Zhou Tang shook his head, held his hand and put it on the rice paper, pointing at each word and said: "Ping, Tian, ​​Xia, which means, in my heart, Ping is the first and the world is the second."

The first in peace, the second in the world.

Luo Ping looked up at him, and bumped into his deep eyes.

"Little master, please write my name again." Zhou Tang said, "I like to see you write those two characters the most. In the whole world, only you are qualified to write them."

Luo Ping took the pen that he forcefully forced, and trembled a little when he first wrote it, but then moved his wrist freely like clouds and flowing water.Obviously I haven't written these two characters for so long, but they are not unfamiliar at all.

Zhou Tang hugged his waist and said nasty love words: "The things you worry about will not happen, and I will not do anything to hurt you until I die. It is not a last resort, and I will not accept concubines, even if Na Fei, I will not even look at them."

"Your Majesty, this is not acceptable."

"Why not?"

"If Your Majesty has no heirs, Luo Ping will be a sinner of Dacheng, and he will never be reborn after death."

"How could it be so serious!"

"It's that serious."

"Little master, you are so boring!" Zhou Tang said irritably, "I thought only that King Xizhao would worry about such things! Heirs or something, as long as they are the children of the Zhou family!"

"Your Majesty is right." Luo Ping suddenly smiled, as if he had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, "Then please ask me to find a little prince for you to come back."

"..." Zhou Tang bit the back of his neck hard, "How dare you plot against me?"

"Hiss, Your Majesty, keep your word."

"Okay, keep your promises, but Luo Qing, you will be responsible for solving the problem of serving the bed." Zhou Tang put on the face of a bullying emperor, and tore off his clothes, "If you can give me a little prince, then it's the best."

"Well...then Your Majesty should tell the minister to return to his hometown."

Regarding the issue of offspring, Luo Ping had actually investigated it long ago.

The fourth child went to sea, and after going there for several years, let alone heirs, he couldn't find anyone else at all.

The old five spent his whole life drinking and drinking, and finally he was relieved, but he didn't know who that person was.I only heard that in order to chase that lover, he went to a Taoist temple to practice.

The third child and the sixth child each have children, but they have a deep shadow on Mocheng in their hearts, and they don't want to return to Beijing, they just want to settle down in a corner.

There is only one person left.

That man and his wife now opened a branch of the Beijiao Restaurant in Mocheng. The business is booming, but the boss himself rarely shows up in front of people.He has a daughter and a son under his knees. The daughter is six years old, lively and pretty, and the son is four years old, smart.

Luo Ping found them and explained the situation to them.

The man hesitated at first, but then agreed.

He said: "The master of the Chanyuan told me a lot of Zen principles, and now I can see those things that I couldn't see in the past. He is a good emperor, I can't compare with him, but..." He touched his son's baby Head, "Maybe my kids can compare."

Luo Ping said: "Don't worry, he will not be locked in that golden cage like you. He is your child, so he will naturally grow up by your side, but he still has to accept the set of teachings in the palace. Let me teach you?"

"Huh? Brother Luo, you teach yourself?"

"That's right, in this way, I am a serious prince and young teacher."

"Ha, you official fan, when will you be satisfied..."

The wine cups collided and made a crisp sound.

Contentment?

There is nothing to be dissatisfied with, this life.

Zhou Tang established the crown prince, who he claimed to be the posthumous son of the emperor's eldest grandson who lived among the people.

It has been so long since what happened back then, and the people involved in it are unwilling to bring it up again, so this matter has been settled like this, and no one dares to object.Some people who didn't know the truth even said that it was the emperor's benevolence. He didn't want his own heir to succeed, but wanted to let Dacheng return to the throne. It can be seen that he really didn't intend to usurp the throne at that time.

Chaoyang Palace is very lively all day long.

Luo Ping taught the two little guys, Luo Xiaoan and Zhou Min, neither of them was easy-going.

Luo Xiaoan has no intention of studying, but he is surprisingly good at taming animals. Cats, dogs, birds, and badgers can be easily captured, including difficult-to-tame horses. Within an hour, they can get close to him.

During the autumn hunting, Zhou Tang caught a tiger and imprisoned it in the palace. After several days of trouble, Luo Xiaoan went to have a look and tamed it. He could even walk it in the imperial garden , Later Zhou Tang simply rewarded the tiger to Luo Xiaoan.

Let's talk about Zhou Min.

To put it bluntly, Zhou Min is still a milk baby, only four years old, he can't speak well, and his favorite thing to do is to nest in Luo Ping's arms and gnaw his fingers, refusing to let go while holding him.

Zhou Tang came to see it, and forced to break him apart, but Zhou Min cried loudly, and Luo Ping coaxed him for a long time to get better.

Just when Luo Ping hugged him and turned around to feed him some water, he turned his head, changed his pitiful look just now, hiccupped and made faces at Zhou Tang, making Zhou Tang go crazy with anger.

But this kid is really too smart, he can learn everything very quickly, after teaching him for three months, he can recite [-] Tang poems, and he can even make up a funny sentence from time to time.

Then he always looks cute and cute in front of Luo Ping, but he is a troublemaker in front of Zhou Tang. It can be said that he has brought out his skills of "pretending to be pitiful" and "playing a rogue" to the extreme, standard double-faced.

So Zhou Tang suffers every day.

His heart is sore, the little master is obviously his own little master, but now...

That's all, it's not worth it to be jealous with the milk baby and the little idiot, at least the little master still belongs to him at night.

They still have a lifetime to spend slowly.

The Grand Inquisitor held two Books of Fate, one of which was burning until it was reduced to ashes.And the other book is gradually thickening, with white light shining faintly.

These two books are the life books of Emperor Chengxuan Zhou Tang.

The one that was burned contained things that no one will ever know again.

For example, when Zhou Tang knew that someone was going to frame Luo Ping, but couldn't find any clues, he could only temporarily imprison Luo Ping in Dali Temple.

Later, he found out that the man was related to the royal family of Xizhao, and because Luo Ping might threaten his status as crown prince, he was determined to kill Luo Ping.So Zhou Tang resorted to his tricks, pretending to be completely angered by Luo Ping's life experience, and put him in a prison without amnesty.

Unexpectedly, the man assassinated him on the road, causing him to almost lose him.

This made him even more cautious. Unforgivable Prison was the safest and most controlled place he could think of at the time. He wanted to take Luo Ping back to the palace himself after the matter was settled. In the snow, I lost my mind and didn't even have time to say goodbye.

The snow that day was surprisingly heavy. When he saw him, Luo Ping's body had already been covered with a thin layer of snow. No matter how tightly he hugged him, he couldn't warm his stiff body.

Looking at the porcelain bowl in his hand, Zhou Tang felt his heart was also frozen.

After the first seven days, no one listened to his confession, and the lotus in the bowl was defeated.

Zhou Tang killed Prince Fengde of Xizhao and Concubine Xiang, but did not kill Concubine Xiang's children.

Because he always thought that this child has at least a little bit of blood, which is the same as Luo Ping.

In that life, Xi Zhao died, and Da Cheng had no orthodox heir inheritance.

As the founding emperor of Dacheng, after all, the chief judge was a little unwilling to let his own dynasty and descendants get mixed up in this field.Fortunately, everything was reversed now, and that person finally did not disappoint him.

The judge took another book of fate to look through, it read: Luo Muquan, three works in his life - "Young Sorrow", "Cheng Tian Tong Jian", the last one, is the only one that has not been seen in this world, it is called It's called "The Lotus Blossom of the Two Worlds Will Rest".
