Whoever wins the crouching dragon wins the world

Although a group of civil officials headed by Pang Tong and Kong Ming tried their best to conceal the news of Liu Xi's disappearance, they could not hide it for a while. In the beginning, Liu Xi, a courtier with rich imagination, went deep into the enemy's rear and conspired to attack Zhang Lu by surprise, but as time passed With the passage of time, the officials who have not waited for the good news are finally ready to move.

Just as Kong Ming expected, the first person who jumped out to be the leader was a little-known official.Although King Ping'an's bureaucracy was incomplete due to the rapid expansion of his territory, the rules of feudal officialdom are universal-the masters always have to wait until the last moment to appear, and the small fish and shrimps are most suitable for being humbled because of their low status. Throwing stones to ask for directions, even if it is accidentally worn out, it is no pity to discard it.

But we didn't expect that it was Wang Chi who had just been promoted to lieutenant general who took the initiative to stand up and take the lead.Because he was promoted by his father's shadow, and his father Wang Min's official position also exudes a strong smell of copper, Wang Chi has almost no sense of existence except for the news about the rich second generation's death tricks and being squeezed out by his colleagues. He is quite good at making troubles for others: "Last night, I watched the sky at night. The emperor star was dim, and the Qichen star fell unexpectedly. The prince may have been in danger!"

The dude suddenly lit up his magic stick skills. Although most officials scoffed at him, but Liu Xi was nowhere to be seen. Some people would still be skeptical.What's more, Liu Xi did not show up for many days. Even if he wanted to refute, he couldn't find convincing evidence.If Guo Jia hadn't been nominally still "discussing relatives" in Soochow at this moment, and the world didn't know that he had gone to Zhaoyun Mountain to search, otherwise the situation would have been even more serious.

But I was still furious at Cui Zhouping and Shi Guangyuan's inaction: "What the hell are they thinking? Wang Chi said such things and let him live a good life! If there is no price to pay for pretending to be a ghost, wouldn't it be everyone? Can you confuse people with gossip?"

"Princess calm down!" During pregnancy and Liu Xi's disappearance, my emotions have been on the verge of losing control in recent days. The word "quiet anger" has almost become Kong Ming's catchphrase, "Brother Zhouping is also worried that the government will act too much and feel guilty. So hold your hands."

"This is an excuse! Will there be gossip if you let it go? Cursing the royal family is a capital crime. According to the law, you can punish the nine clans. Cui Zhouping clearly just can't bear to issue the death order!" With Wang Chi's IQ, it is impossible to think of it. The method of pretending to be a magic stick is most likely instigated by others, but who is standing behind him is still open to discussion.Cuizhou Pingnian was exploited by others in Wangchi, so he ordered him to be imprisoned temporarily, but did not take his life. His ambiguous attitude suddenly caused gossip to prevail, "It's no wonder that Lin Yuejie doesn't even have such a decision. It's sour that they rely on nepotism to get to the top!"

Cui Zhouping, like Kong Ming and Pang Tong, had studied under Mr. Shui Jing. He was of the same age and talent, so he should have made great achievements.However, after he took refuge in Liu Xi, although he also found an official position, he was still not well-known, and his promotion speed was far behind that of Kong Ming and Pang Tong, who were brilliant.The main reason is that he has more resourcefulness than cruelty.

Cui Zhouping was originally on the list for the First World War in Yizhou, but when Liu Xi discussed with the generals the plan to attack the enemy before departure, Liu Xi proposed to flood Chengdu with water from the Min and Tuo Rivers, but Cui Zhouping could not bear to see the people in the city He was repeatedly dissuaded on the grounds of innocent deaths, and would rather take several times the risk to confront Liu Zhang's army head-on. At that time, Liu Xi, who was extremely angry and laughed back, commented that "it is difficult to achieve a big event."

Liu Xi pointed at his nose and cursed: "The life of the common people is life, but the life of my generals is not life? The battlefield is not a place for benevolence and justice. If you want to die yourself, no one will stop you, so don't hold him back." My soldiers are the backs!" Turning around, he was deprived of his qualifications to fight.It can be said that Cui Zhouping would never have had the opportunity to take charge of Xiangyang if no one in Liu Xi's camp was available for the time being due to the special circumstances.

Lin Yuejie didn't know what was going on, and took it for granted that Cui Zhouping's ability to temporarily act as governor of Xiangyang County and Shi Guangyuan's appointment as Xiangyang County were all due to Kong Ming's recommendation. When he was down and down, it was her, Lin Yuejie, who provided money from her private house to help him live, so that he would not have to sleep in the open. Now he doesn't know how to repay his brother's position, but instead helps outsiders, which is simply unreasonable!

This is a common method used in Zhai Dou: intentionally tell someone who is inconvenient to say in person, so that they can act as messengers and pass it to the target person's ears.The biggest advantage of doing this is that it not only hits the person who should be hit, but also removes yourself completely when confronted-I have never said such a thing, rumors, there are always times when they are misrepresented.

It's a pity that Lin Yuejie used the method of a housewife to deal with Kong Ming, who was able to play tricks, and it was really a miscalculation.

Kong Ming had only one reaction to Lin Yuejie's actions: turn a blind eye.Just kidding, Liu Xi is missing, and Jing Xiangyi's world is about to collapse, how can he have time to spend with his siblings and drink at home?Jing Xiangyi is known as "Pingan Han" among the people, which means that its regime is completely based on the Pingan King Liu Xi.As one of the only two surviving sons of the Han Ling Emperor, Liu Xi was born with the qualifications to aspire to the world, and there is no lack of ability, courage, and gold finger bonuses. High-ranking officials and generous salaries have attracted countless capable people and people with lofty ideals to flock to him.

So, what if Liu Xi died?Without King Ping'an, how can Ping'an Han survive in the dangerous situation surrounded by wolves?Recently, there have been vague rumors that Cao Cao will send troops to attack Jingzhou, and Sun Quan also sent envoys to Xiangyang to visit Sun Shangxiang who is waiting to be married.Liu Xi disappeared suddenly while passing by Zhaoyun Mountain. Even I didn't know about it, let alone the powerful princes who were in the hostile camp, so they tried their best to inquire.I have no doubt that once the news of Liu Xi's death is confirmed, they will immediately raise the battle flag and take advantage of your illness to kill you.

But I won't give them that chance.Although I haven't been able to find Liu Xi's trace for the time being, I firmly believe that he is still alive, so before he shows up again, I have to keep this piece of foundation that he has worked so hard for him, and I must not let other people's dirty hands get involved .

For so many years, I have been living under Liu Xi's wings, and now it is finally my turn to stand in front of him and give him all my courage and wisdom to repay him.

I will not let him down.Didn't Cao Cao, Sun Quan and others hope to hear the news of Liu Xi's death?Then it will be as they wish.

On the eighth day of the first month of the 15th year of Jian'an, I, who was eight months pregnant, announced to the world that Liu Xi, King of Ping'an, fell into a valley after being assassinated by unknown sources.As the younger sister of his one-mother compatriot, I will fulfill his unfinished ambition on his behalf and restore the Han Dynasty.It is conceivable that as soon as this news came out, it immediately overshadowed the strong atmosphere of the New Year and caused an uproar in the land of the Three Kingdoms.

Who said that without Liu Xi, I have to sit and wait for death? "Don't make women and state affairs" is indeed the mainstream view of this era, but listening to politics behind the curtain has existed since ancient times. As long as they sit on the dragon chair unassumingly and trample on the bottom line of the men of the Three Kingdoms and leave them a fig leaf, they are not completely The strength of women cannot be accepted.This is different from the nature of the princess's participation in politics at the beginning - the princess's participation in politics was arrogance and indulgence, but now it is a manifestation of the overall situation to bear the grief of losing a loved one and stand up.Just as the empress dowager who handles the trifles of the court for the babbling little prince is admirable, but the empress dowager who is still unwilling to hand over the power in her hands after the prince grows up is an old hag who brings disaster to the country and the people.

The first empress who proclaimed herself emperor in Chinese history appeared in the Northern Wei Dynasty. There is a time-space gap of 400 years with the Three Kingdoms. Men in the Three Kingdoms are limited to patriarchal ideas. No one even questioned that I might surpass Liu Xie and directly establish myself as a female emperor——Liu Xie Trapped in Xudu, Princess Shengyang, as his only younger sister, is determined to restore the country for the emperor's brother. She can be called a model of women who understand righteousness.

Even Kong Ming didn't have the slightest doubt.Since Guo Jia failed to bring good news, Kong Ming was worried that if the news of Liu Xi's death suddenly came one day, I would not be able to withstand the blow, so he began to vaccinate me consciously: "The Holy One is the king of benevolence and righteousness. In the past, the palace was difficult. If this is the case, he is still bothering to plan for the princess, which shows that he values ​​love and righteousness. It is a pity that he was born in the early days, and he was restrained by Cao Cao and could not be free. If the princess helps him eliminate the chaotic officials and thieves, and bring peace to the world, the brother-sister relationship will definitely be enhanced I will be protected by the Holy Majesty." The implication is that even if Liu Xi can never be found, I still have Liu Xie as my brother to rely on.

Kong Ming didn't know the old affairs of the Han court, even if he had heard the rumors about the idiot prince and the idiot princess earlier, he never took it seriously.After all, since he met us, Liu Xi and I have behaved very normally. It is unheard of for two idiots to get enlightened at the same time, so he reasonably inferred that Liu Xi and I were faking it from the beginning.And our biological mother died young, and there are very few forces available in the palace. To be able to pretend all the way from infancy to leaving the palace, apart from our own intelligence, the help of brother Liu Xie is inevitable.The revolutionary friendship established in the last days is worth a thousand dollars. Kong Ming thought that the relationship between Liu Xie and me was no less than that of Liu Xi, and it was only because we were separated in recent years that we became estranged.He even joked with me that he could ask Liu Xie for the title of Princess Protector in the future, while he was working hard to be named Duke Protector...

In this regard, I can only smile bitterly.Although I am very grateful for all the efforts Liu Xie has made for me, Liu Xi is different after all. She is the most important relative in my past and present life, and even 1 Liu Xie cannot replace Liu Xi.Although I was sad about Liu Xie's death, I would never collapse. Even though I had prepared myself, I still couldn't guarantee what kind of expression I would make when I heard the news of Liu Xi's death.

I couldn't even think about it.

"Brother will be fine." Facing Kong Ming's worried eyes, I reiterated my position again, "He said he would preside over the three baptisms for my first child, and he will never break his promise."

But my son still couldn't wait for his uncle's meeting ceremony in the end.On March 15, the 23th year of Jian'an, Zhuge Zhan, the eldest son of Kong Ming and I, was born. The cry was loud, and both mother and child were safe.But Liu Xi, whose life and death are uncertain, is still missing, the current situation is turbulent, and there are different opinions.
