The news of Mi Zhao's return to the palace was reported by Si Hua during the gap between Mi Huang's meals, "Princess, it is said that the third princess returned to the palace today, and when she saw the king, she returned to the Purple Smoke Palace, and the gate has not been out so far." ”

"Hmm!"

Mi Huang nodded, and at the same time ordered Ashin and them to prepare to go to the study, "These little things in the palace, you and Si Qin just watch and stare at the point, just don't let her make any demon moths." ”

"Yes, lady. ”

The head of the painting is made.

"But lady, since the day of Jinjie, until now, you haven't closed your eyes much for two days and two nights, right...... Even if the lady doesn't rest, the little boy in the belly has to rest. ”

Si Qin saw that Mi Huang hurriedly finished her meal, and hurriedly prepared to go out, and wanted to persuade her to rest for a while, but she refused.

I saw that Mi Huang's eyes were faintly bloodshot, he lowered his head and touched the child in his belly, got up and said, "Don't worry, I still squinted for an hour or two last night, and I still held on." When I was in the army, there were many battles, three days and three nights, and I couldn't sleep. ”

"Don't be afraid. ”

The two of them gossiped in private, and I didn't know how to be heard by the old doctor who came in to deliver the medicine, and suddenly he turned around and ran outside with the medicine boiled in his hand, and stood outside the hall with his feet stomped and scolded, "Since your health is so good, you still ask the old man to prescribe what tocolytic pills, just pour it!"

I only heard a soft splash outside the house.

Si Qin's eyes rushed out of the clouds and pulled the old man and said, "Doctor the old man, calm your anger!"

"Lady, it's just that there are too many things in my heart. ”

"No matter how many things there are, you still have to eat this meal, you still have to sleep, if the person is gone, can it be done?"

The more the old doctor spoke, the more energetic he became, and scolded loudly, "Old man, I have never seen it in my life, which prince is like you, and finally gave up his performance to ascend to the throne safely." I'm afraid that I will die of exhaustion and cheapen others......"

"That's what I said...... But the lady doesn't listen, but you can't pour the medicine in a fit of anger. ”

Si Qin nodded, and Xiao Yi accompanied the mistake.

The old doctor snorted angrily and scolded with his hands, and everyone persuaded him to persuade him, "The doctor does not treat the disobedient patient." Whoever likes to serve will serve, anyway, the old man will never serve!"

But on the other side, Mi Huang had already pushed the door out and walked away with Huang Yuwei, ignoring him at all.

The old doctor glared at her back and beat his chest, "You stinky girl!

Then he pointed to the doctor boy who was still decocting the medicine on the side and shouted, "Little boy, let's see if there is any excess medicine decoction residue in the medicine pot." ”

"Yes...... The doctor, the child remembered that there was still a little medicine base, so I went to put it in a water bag and gave it to the lady. ”

As soon as the doctor boy trotted away, he poured out the medicine pot that was still hot on the stove, poured it into a cowhide water bag, and trotted after it, "Lady, this is the medicine that the doctor asked me to send." ”

Mi Huang glanced back at the doctor boy who chased to the side of the palace car, touched his head with a smile, got into the car and left.

The old doctor hated, "Who told you to run so fast, who said that you were going to send medicine to that stinky girl...... I mean, there's no scum left to dump......"

The doctor boy turned around, "Isn't that what the doctor meant?"

"You...... So stupid, how can you study medicine with me in the future. ”

The old doctor snorted and walked away.

The doctor boy touched his little face and turned his head to look at a few beautiful sisters who were covering their mouths and laughing, and then pulled up their legs and followed, "Doctor, doctor, you wait for the child!"

Before going to the study.

Four princesses, five princesses, six princesses...... Several little princesses and their accompanying sons saw a woman in a phoenix robe coming over, and they rushed forward with a chatter, "Sister Wang, why are you free to come over today?

"You don't understand what happened in the court, how are you learning now?"

Mi Huang touched a few small gossip and asked.

"Bad ......"

Several little princesses wrinkled their faces when they heard this.

shrunk the red palm behind his back, because he didn't like to listen to Master Pan's class, and even the young lady who accompanied him was punished. A circle of aristocratic children cowered around her, and they did not dare to approach her because of the majesty of her princess.

Pan Chongyuan stood in front of the window of the upper study, holding the ring ruler in his hand, looking at them intently, and said loudly, "Don't forget tomorrow's "Zhou Li", I want to take the exam." ”

When the children heard this, they dispersed in fear and said goodbye to her, "Sister Wang, we have to go back to do our homework!"

"Let's go first......"

"Go ahead!"

Mi Huang smiled.

Looking at them, it seems that they remember the way they read back then.

Walking into the empty classroom after school, looking at the old man standing at the front desk, his expression was solemn again in a blink of an eye, and he begged: "Now that the situation in Yingdu is turbulent, and the displaced people are difficult to chase, the students want to ask the teacher to help me." ”

Pan Chong glanced at Anu and the surrounding temple people who were cleaning without surprise, and only said, "Anu!"

When the old slave on the side heard him, he quietly withdrew from the classroom with a bright window, closed the door, stood outside the door, and retreated from the people in front and behind.

This conversation in the classroom.

It only belongs to the two emperors of the current dynasty.

In the afternoon, the sun is scattered, the autumn breeze is cool, blowing the green bajiao leaves outside the window, swaying quietly in front of the arc-shaped window, and sprinkling faint light and shadow under the desks.

A pot of Junshan silver needles that Ao Ziyan honors him, with a faint fragrance floating and a lingering fragrance.

The two sat cross-legged.

Pan Chong personally lifted the green pot and poured a cup of Junshan Silver Needle for Mi Huang, glanced at her, and said gently without hurrying, "Now that Situ Nan has been arrested, Yue Jiao Dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, and entered the hall like a child, and he can force them to this part, which is enough to show that today's princess has done an excellent job." ”

"However, the 50,000 displaced people have not been recovered, and even ...... Even Cheng Jia, the teacher knows that he has not returned from Jingling, and there is no news, I am afraid that he will be in danger......" Mi Huang frowned and said.

"Cheng Jia hasn't returned yet?"

Pan Chong was also slightly surprised.

Cheng Jia's ability, he knows, but now he hasn't come back, I'm afraid that he will really encounter some big situation.

Leaning cross-legged in the chair, after a long time, he finally spoke, "If this is the case, I am afraid that if the princess continues like this, she will force both of them too hard, and the country will be unstable, after all, Ziyan's Northern Expedition has not ended." ”

"The battle must be fought one by one, and won one by one, in order to win the game. ”

"Multi-party scuffle is the easiest way for the surrounding princes to take advantage of the situation. ”

The banana trees outside "Sha Yi Sha-Sha" sounded sharply.

At this time, the room is extremely quiet.

Light and shadow flickering.

Mi Huang looked at the tea in the cup in front of her, and with the turmoil, listening to what the master said, she didn't want to wait any longer.

It's just that the battlefield is changing rapidly.

Yue Jiao's personality is strange and unpredictable.

Won't give her time to grow.

After a long time, she suddenly raised her head and opened her mouth to say, "But teacher, I'm afraid that in the end, what we are waiting for is a civil war that we can't wait for...... It's not a time you and I can ......."

When Pan Chong heard this, he was very calm and not afraid at all.

Just touched the rim of the cup, and couldn't help but recall a long memory, which was the truth of the three hundred years of history passed down by his ancestors and fathers, and the unknown truth buried behind the history books.

He didn't know whether to tell the schoolgirl in front of him.

Because King Mu had not had time to kill his father and pass it down from the mouth of King Cheng, so far in the history of Chu State, only the great achievements of the Ruo Ao clan have been left, and their ambition to seize the throne and threaten the emperor has been erased.

That's it.

History has chosen to erase those truths.

Let it be reduced to the dust of history.

Drift away in the wind.

So he said, "They really have too much power......

Now all clans are either choosing to back down or surrender......

And because of historical reasons, the ancestors of the past dynasties did not find a way to completely suppress the Ruo Ao clan, and even in the face of the Ruo Ao clan supported by the major clans, the previous kings could only choose to compromise in the face of the blade of the six parts of Ruo Ao.

There were only two roads before them.

Either allow them to continue to grow with the royal family as much as they can, or divide the entire regime that had been painstakingly built into two in the form of war.

Fortunately, if the Ao clan has been in peace for generations.

But this generation has produced the genius Ziyan, as well as the brave and extraordinary Yue Jiao, and even Zike has the talent to keep it when the country is stable.

This is the luck of the family, but it is the misfortune of the country.

The competition for the throne of Ling Yin in each generation is no more cruel than the competition for the throne. ”

"Isn't there a way to change it?"

Mi Huang frowned and asked.

"I once thought about it as a teacher, but I also failed. Pan Chong admits his failure 20 years ago.

"How?"

"Take back the military and political power that King Wu gave to Ruo Ao's clan, divide it into two, and give it to the two clans respectively, so that they can check and balance each other's powers, instead of unifying the two powers as they do now, waiting for Ruo Ao's clan to divide and balance the royal power in turn, and even the most fundamental way is to weaken the army in their hands.

Therefore, twenty years ago, Queen Sun was advised by her teacher to ask the king to marry, and even hoped that through the marriage between your Sun family and the king, you could compete with the Ruoao family.

But your grandfather and your mother's character......

I can't afford it.

They are the kind of people who don't know how to fight for power with the Ruo Ao clan at all.

The Sun family's iron guards were born to defend the country, not to fight for it in the court, so under the arrangement of the son, your grandfather, your uncle, and your cousin are stationed in Wancheng, Shencheng and other places all the year round to defend against attacks from the north. ”

Pan Chong sighed.

"This is the truth of the marriage between your father and your mother. ”

Mi Huang didn't expect that her birth was not only based on a political marriage, but also on the basis of weakening Ruo Ao's military power, but her marriage with Ruo Ao Ziyan once again pushed Ruo Ao's military and political power to the peak, and even pulled the Sun family to Ruo Ao's side.

Hearing this truth from Pan Chong's mouth, there was a faint dull pain in his heart.

In the end, this god-given fate is still wrong.

It was a mistake from the start.

Pan Chong continued, "Tainu, generations of previous kings have failed, do you still want to try?

Even the teacher was not sure that he could completely suppress them.

And with Yue Jiao's temperament, as well as the means of the child, it is difficult to say who will kill the deer in the end, once we do it first, where is the righteousness?

If the Ao clan is the pillar of my Chu State, he has a "Double Ao Alliance" with King Wu.

Whoever destroys this oath first will make the eight hundred princes of the world spurned. ”

Hearing this, Mi Huang disagreed, "Then do we have to wait until the entire capital falls and the lives of the people are ruined, and we have great righteousness?"

Pan Chong nodded, but his voice suddenly became cold, looked at her and asked, "There is righteousness in the princess now, but can the princess dare to kill her relatives in righteousness?"

Mi Huang couldn't wait to be asked this cruel question by Pan Chong.

A pair of jade hands were placed on her laps, clenching her fists tightly, looking at him and shaking his head frankly, "I don't know......" said for a long time but resolutely, "I only know that dead people can't die in vain!"

Just like her death in a previous life.

Otherwise, how can you have peace of mind?

"Now that you have a choice in your mind, just go on, whether you go to the abyss or the highest place, and it's up to you.

What the teacher can help you is just to help you at a critical moment.

Success or defeat is yours. ”

Pan Chong's big hand slowly held the tea cup on the table and said lightly.

"Mr. Xie, this is enough. ”

What Mi Huang wants is Pan Chong's help, and the rest, and it depends on her to fight by herself.

Looking at the woman who was leaving in a hurry with the people, Pan Chong waved it a little casually, and ordered the old slave to accept the tea set for the reception and sit in front of the window in a daze.

The old slave walked in, bent down, quietly picked up the teacup that had not been touched at all and put it into the tea tray, and asked gossiply, "Taishi, why don't you help the princess like you did when you helped the king?"

Pan Chong looked at him and said lightly, "Because she is different from the king, the king is ruthless as a man, and she is soft-hearted as a woman." It's really a matter of life and death, who knows, she still can't hold the sword in her hand. ”

"Alas......"

The old slave let out a low sigh when he heard this.

Finally removed the woman's untouched teacup, this is how many things are in her heart, and she left without even having the heart to drink saliva.

Pan Chong was surprised, "Haven't you always been optimistic about her? Why are you sighing?"

"Maybe Anu was also born as a slave, so it's a pity ......"

"The case of 50,000 homeless people outside being sold into slavery is boiling, difficult and dangerous, and layers of pressure, this should not be a heavy responsibility for a woman who is still pregnant to run around or take on the clouds, but she is here for the homeless people, for the people, for us slaves...... Ask the master for a favor. The old slave said quietly.

"Yes, that's really rare. ”

Pan Chong bowed, "My Chu country has been a strong king since King Wu, and each generation has been born by stepping on blood, but this generation is a little different, probably when the king came to the throne, his subordinates killed too much, so there is no male heir to inherit the unification, but now it is going to fall on the soft shoulders of a woman, and I don't know if I can bear the burden of living in this great Chu for three hundred years and thousands of people......"

Pan Chong looked out the window at the banana trees that were blown by the strong wind, and his eyes showed a hint of worry.

"Master, the water is soft, but it can carry a big boat, and the wind is soft, but it can set off big waves. Soft doesn't mean it can't. ”

The old slave looked at him and suddenly bent down and said.

Pan Chong suddenly laughed when he heard this, pointed at him and said, "Are you also bribed by this female student?"

"Anu has always known that I have been a member of the Pan family since I was born, but Anu's heart is still free. The old slave said frankly.

"A good heart is free. ”

Pan Chong clapped his hands and praised, looking at him with a look of pity, "Anu, it's a pity for you, follow me to serve tea and pour water all my life." If you let it out, you should also give up a place for the three divisions. ”

"That's because Anu is a slave. ”

"The vision and talent of the slave cannot ascend to the hall of elegance, nor can they ascend to the golden hall of the Zhu Palace, where the nobles stand and talk, and we only deserve to kneel there and listen. ”

Although the old slave still bent down to talk to him, Pan Chong felt that he was equal to himself at this time, and only listened to him continue, "But one day, when we stood up, the nobles were actually no different from us, but they were all human beings. ”

Pan Chong stroked his gray beard and laughed loudly, sinking his worried heart into his stomach, picked up a volume of "Zhou Li", turned around and walked slowly, walked out of the school leisurely, and nodded, "Anu, maybe what you said this time is right...... Although the woman's shoulders are soft, she can also carry thousands of miles of rivers and mountains and thousands of people. ”

"Because your hearts have been bought by her. ”

This is where the people's aspirations and righteousness lie. ”

The old slave followed behind, holding tea and smiling slightly, "Taishi, in fact, I understand better than Anu in my heart, but I just said it through my mouth." ”

The strong wind outside the window of the school seemed to stop suddenly.

The banana tree, green and yellow, yellow and green again in the next year, finally passed away the old days full of students reading time, the sound of books, young green shirts, at this time they all fly high, soar into the sky, fight in the sky......
