Chapter 190: The Queen Arrives (7)

Zhou Cong's recent days have been very difficult. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Since two months ago, the queen slapped him in the imperial study and ridiculed him, so angry that he fainted to death, and woke up to make a fuss about abolishing it. His world has changed dramatically.

His dead father, the emperor and his mother, who had carefully selected the loyal ministers of the auxiliary state to leave to him, all fell to the queen's wicked woman.

Especially the three adults represented by the prime minister, the Taifu and Cheng Guogong, actually helped the queen to confine him in Yazhai, and the beautiful name made him calm down and study!

They took away all his books of calligraphy and painting, even chess scores, music scores, formation diagrams, and so on. Deprived him of all hobbies and the interest in learning. He was only given a bunch of old folds and told him to look at them one by one, saying something so that he could understand the national situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

He didn't want to know about it at all! He had no interest in the national conditions of the Great Zhou!

But no one cares about that. They would only tell him to read the excerpts and write annotations after reading them. In addition, he had to elaborate his views on some typical problems of the DPRK and China and the people, and write out appropriate methods to deal with them.

If you don't write well, you have to be scolded.

The wicked woman of the queen, every five days, would call someone to collect the folds he had approved, and send new ones to squeeze him.

If it is due, he does not complete the task, or writes things to perfunctory her. The woman would call Jin Wuwei, who once belonged to him and now became the queen's lackey, and press him to the ground and hit the board!

It's a ridiculous thing he would never have dreamed of.

He Zhou Cong was born as a prince and grew up with gold and dignity. Even accidentally breaking a little skin and shedding a few drops of blood is an earth-shattering event. The palace maids, eunuchs, and guards who guarded him were all held accountable.

From childhood to adulthood, he has suffered no more than ten minor injuries. I have never been beaten by anyone.

But today, at the age of 28 and 10 years after he became emperor, he asked his empress to slap him personally! He was pressed to the ground and hit the board by Jin Wuwei, who was supposed to protect him, and there was no way to ask for help. None of his ministers, concubines, guards, eunuchs, and palace maids dared to stand up and argue with the queen and defend him under her obscenity.

The most hateful thing is that they don't help him. His most trusted prime minister, Taifu, Chengguo Gong and Lu Gonggong, all said that the queen did a good job and beat him well.

In particular, the prime minister and the concubine, seeing that the queen sent him 20 copies of the old folds every 5 days, also said that if they sent less, they would send 50 copies!

Zhou Cong felt that he lived in a nightmare every day!

That night, Zhou Cong processed ten excerpts, and after completing the task, he put down his pen, stood up and moved his stiff body, and turned his sore neck. He walked to another small desk, dipped his pen in cinnabar, drew a few talismans he had seen in "Maoshan Tugong" before, quietly hid them in his sleeves, pretended to be Gong, and took them to Gong's room and blew the fire fold, and burned it.

As he burned, he opened his lips and whispered the words. The content is roughly as follows:

Heaven and earth, the gods of heaven, and my father and queen mother, who died young, please appear quickly, so that the prime minister and them can recover their consciousness as soon as possible, and stop helping that wicked woman to torture me. It's better to tell that wicked woman to get out of the palace and never appear in front of me again! Let me live a good life in the old days, and I will burn you more paper money.

Zhou Cong is a person who respects science, he thought about it, and felt that ghosts and gods were not very reliable, and his own father and mother should be more reliable.

Then he clasped his hands together and said to the ashes that were still flickering with fire: "Father and Queen Mother, if you hear my request in heaven, you must manifest your spirit as soon as possible. ”

"I can't bear that wicked woman, but also the rebellious courtiers, guards, eunuchs, and palace maids! Especially the Qi clan, this wicked woman has been appearing in my nightmares at night lately, and I now feel sick when I think of her. ”

"Hurry up and tell the Qi family to get out! Queen Mother, my father is busy ignoring me, but you insisted on marrying me at the beginning. She's treating me like this now, you can't let her go......"

"What if you don't let go of this palace?"

Jing Lin kicked open the door of the smoky Gong room, and looked at the dog emperor who was so frightened in the corner of the room that he shook his body and shouted "Hell, help!", his eyes twitched.

At the end of the day, the news of the great victory in the frontier was transmitted back to the DPRK and China, and the court celebrated.

In the evening, she held a banquet in the imperial garden, feasted the ministers of the fifth rank and above, and also asked people to prepare songs and dances to boost the morale of the courtiers. By the way, the courtiers who have not slept well for two months, and have been exhausted to relax.

The atmosphere during the banquet was good, she was rarely happy, and was persuaded by the prime minister and other confidants to drink a few glasses of wine, and she was a little dizzy, so she came out for a walk to sober up. Walking and walking, I suddenly remembered that I was busy celebrating today, and I hadn't come to Yazhai to collect the excerpts of the dog emperor, so I took the Qi palace order and a few guards and palace maids to Yazhai directly.

As soon as she came in, she heard her report that General Shencheng told her that the Dog Emperor had learned a lot recently, and he had read the excerpts very carefully, and asked them to go to the imperial study to get him a map and books such as "Kyushu Chronicles" and "Agricultural Techniques" for him.

It's just that he hasn't slept well in the past few days, and he has added a hobby of drawing talismans to pray to God. For a few nights in a row, he secretly ran to Gong's room to burn paper talismans. Shinto doesn't know what he's doing.

General Cheng was afraid that the Dog Emperor was doing something to curse Jing Lone, so he strongly recommended that she come over and take a look.

Out of curiosity, Jing Lin waved back from the people, telling her that she was not at ease, and insisted on following General Cheng, who came to protect her safety, stepped back dozens of steps, and behind her, she came to the outside of Gong's room alone.

With excellent ear power, I listened to the words of the Dog Emperor asking the Heaven and Earth, the Gods and Buddhas, and the Emperor Taishang and the Queen Mother of the Virgin Mary to make her disappear and restore him to his original good life.

Especially when she heard the part where the dog emperor said that she had become his nightmare, she felt funny in her heart, and couldn't help but kick the door open and ask him.

I didn't think that the dog emperor would be a thief by himself, and he was scared half to death.

Jing Xiao had a happy smile on his face, leaning against the door, his face was lazy and leisurely, "The emperor is so daring, and he still learns to do this ghostly thing, and he is not afraid that the true god will not ask for it, but will invite himself to be haunted by ghosts......"

"Nonsense!" Zhou Cong stiffened his neck, and the dead duck's mouth was stiff: "This, in this world, where, where did the ghost come from!"

Jing Lin saw that his teeth were bumping and bumping in fright, making a "gurgling" sound, obviously scared to death, and pretended to be fearless, and had the intention of teasing him.

She lowered her voice, creating an eerie atmosphere: "This Yazhai used to be the place where the palace dealt with the slaves of sin. There were not a thousand maids and eunuchs who died here, but eight hundred. I heard from the little palace ladies that at night, their 'seniors' often haunt here. It's almost Chinese New Year's Eve, and I think the ghosts are also going to celebrate the festival......"

"No, don't say it!" Zhou Cong felt that he was trembling, and he was about to lose his footing, cold sweat was flowing behind his back, and he yelled at Jing Lin angrily, "Qi Clan, I order you to shut up!"

Zhou Cong saw Jing Jing holding his waist, laughing and trembling, and looked at him with very contemptuous eyes, as if to say: Look at this useless coward, she was forced to hide in the Gong room, begging God to beg the ghost to accept her. What's even more ridiculous is that this coward is still afraid of ghosts. I don't even deserve to lift her shoes.

He was so angry that he picked up the copper basin with water and used to clean his hands, and threw it towards Jing Lonely. "Wicked woman! I told you to shut up! Makes you laugh!"

Jing Lin has been worry-free recently, paying attention to exercise, his body is getting healthier and healthier, and he quickly dodged the water basin, only to be splashed with splashing water and wet his phoenix robe.

She poured cold water on Zhou Cong, unhappy in her heart. Would love to beat him. However, thinking of Queen Qi, she still endured it.

A few days ago, after much bargaining and negotiation, Jing Lin and Empress Qi's remnants reached an agreement. She promised to train Zhou Cong to be a qualified emperor for her, let him sit on the throne by himself, and promised that she would always watch Zhou Cong and assist him in managing the country, eh, and his harem. also promised not to beat Zhou Cong at will. And Empress Qi also agreed to give her the soul silk after Zhou Cong's death.

The reason why Jing Lin agreed to support Zhou Cong was mainly because she wanted to be lazy. As long as Zhou Cong stands up, she doesn't have to work hard to manage the country for him, and she is scolded and thankless. You don't have to worry about dying of overwork.

If there is anything, it will make the dog emperor troubled. She only needs to make a pot of tea every day, watch the concubines stage a big drama of competition for favor in the harem, and settle down at ease.

……

General Cheng was dozens of steps away, and when he heard Zhou Cong's roar and the muffled sound of the copper basin hitting the ground, he was afraid that Zhou Cong would hurt Jing Lin in a hurry, so he stepped on the flying step, broke the wind and came to stand two steps behind Jing Lian, panting slightly and asked her: "Niangniang, are you okay? The emperor didn't hurt you, right?"

"This palace is fine. Jing Liang glanced at Zhou Cong coldly, and saw Zhou Cong, who was so angry, that he shivered coldly. He still held his head high very strongly, and said stiffly: "Wicked woman, don't think that I will be afraid of you! ”

General Cheng glanced at Zhou Cong coldly, thinking that tomorrow he would tell the kitchen to send less food to the Dog Emperor. Niangniang is too kind-hearted, she gives him too good food, and raises his courage.

If it weren't for his father's thousands of instructions, telling him to be more respectful to the dog emperor, see if he didn't throw him into the latrine, and let him sober up.

He took a look at Jing Lin intently, and found that the hem of his phoenix robe and warm boots were splashed with water, so he immediately took out his handkerchief and squatted down to wipe the water on Jing Lian's clothes and shoes, "It's cold at night, Niangniang, you are not in good health, and you are easy to catch the wind chill when you wear wet shoes." Why don't you escort you back to the palace to change your clothes?"

"Not necessarily. Hongu is not so weak. As soon as Jing Xiao finished speaking, he sneezed. She touched her nose a little embarrassed.

General Cheng frowned, and looked at her worriedly and distressedly: "Niangniang, let's let Weichen send you back." ”

"You deserve it!" Zhou Cong gloated. He wished that this wicked woman had contracted the wind and cold, and that she could not afford to be seriously ill. lest she always find him unhappy.

General Cheng clenched his fists, and almost couldn't help but rush over and beat the Dog Emperor.

Jing Xiao felt that General Cheng was standing close to her, and moved forward two steps without a trace, then turned to him and said, "This palace has its own measure. The palace and the emperor still have something to say, and ask the general to step down. I'll call you for something. ”

"Wechen took the order. General Cheng's eyes darkened, and he endured sadness and jealousy and left.

Zhou Cong calmed down, saw that his expression was different, and bit his lip. Thinking of this introverted and reticent General Cheng, it seems that every time he sees the evil woman of the Qi family, his demeanor is too gentle, and the whole person has become more talkative and gentle and considerate.

Just now he just said that he deserved it, and General Cheng glared at him. I didn't take him as an emperor in my eyes at all. Could it be that he has an ulterior relationship with the Qi family?

Jing Lin watched Zhou Cong's face change between black and red, and she didn't know what strange things he thought of again, she asked him, "The excerpt for you, can you finish approving it?"

"You are ...... with General Cheng" Zhou Cong paused, and asked Jing Lin with a dark face: "Qi family, you didn't cuckold me, did you?"

Jing Lonely was stunned: ......

After a moment, she sneered: "This palace is not as loving as the emperor. Zhou Cong, if you want to ruin the reputation of the palace, and use the trick of the palace having an affair with General Cheng to pull the palace to dismount, but you have made a mistake. This palace and General Cheng have no love between men and women. The palace line is upright, and I am not afraid that you will splash dirty water. It's just that this palace never thought that you would make such a villain who is so indiscriminately tricked......"

"What do you mean by that?!!When did I say that...... Qi Shi, you are trying to add to the crime! I am not the kind of sinister villain. Zhou Cong felt that his personality had been insulted, and he was so angry that smoke rose above his head.

"It's good if not. General Cheng and the main palace are innocent. What I said just now, this palace doesn't want to hear you say it a second time. Jing Xiao finally glanced at Zhou Cong deeply: "I think you are too idle to draw talismans to curse the palace, I think the task assigned to you is too light, so that you have no extra energy to play." ”

"This palace is here to tell you that the frontier has reported good news today, and Liangzhou and Suzhou have been recovered. The barbarians told our army to retreat in disarray. Let you listen to it and be happy. The war on the frontier is basically stable, and the prime minister, the Taifu, and the general Wei Guo can all be idle......"

"What do you want to say?" Zhou Cong instinctively felt that something was wrong. The joy of victory did not infect him. "How do you want to toss me? Qi Clan, I just don't have the same knowledge as you, you don't want to make an inch!"

"Zhou Cong, don't be mistaken. It's not that you don't have the same knowledge as this palace, it's that this palace feels that you are not worthy, and it doesn't care about you. You don't want to be cheap and sell well. If it weren't for the ...... For your sake, do you think you'll still be able to sit on this throne?"

"Tomorrow, I will ask General Cheng to escort you to the imperial study, where the Taifu and the Prime Minister will wait for you. Jing Xiao didn't want to say more to Zhou Cong, so he left the words that made Zhou Cong lose his mind, and left.

General Cheng hung his head in loss and sent her out, silently all the way, and sent her back to Fengluan Palace.

Jing Xiao probably knew what he was thinking and ignored him. She knew that General Cheng had always been silently in love with Empress Qi, and she also knew that he had almost become Empress Qi's husband. However, he and Empress Qi are destined to be inseparable.

She wouldn't give him any illusion that he could renew his relationship with her.

Fang was in Gongfang's room, and she deliberately amplified her voice, just to let General Cheng hear those words and die for her.

"Niangniang, the slave has finally found you!" Jing Xiao just asked someone to serve her to change her clothes, changed into a pair of soft and comfortable cotton shoes, opened today's book and finished reading a book, and called Qi Gongling, who hurriedly pushed open the door of her study, to disturb her train of thought.

"What are you doing in a hurry?" she raised her brow in displeasure.

"Mother, where is the Imperial Garden...... Yin Hanlin he, he ...... ...... Qi Gongling took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and said to Jing Lian: "Yin Hanlin is drunk, just now at the banquet, he made a message for you, and also snatched the musician's guqin, and sang while playing......"

"There are many words that praise the merits of this palace. This is not the first time Yin Hanlin has written lyrics for this palace. He wrote one half a month ago. It is not a big deal for a literati to get drunk and steal the musician's piano and sing a tune. Is it worth it for you to come in such a panic and disturb the purity of this palace?"

"No, Niangniang......" Qi Gongling blushed anxiously, "Yin Hanlin's words this time are not to praise your merits, but...... but to praise your character and looks. He also said that he likes you, tosses and turns for you, and it hurts to think about you......"

"......" Jing Xiao's expression was stunned for a moment, and he suddenly laughed out loud: "Hahaha......! Laughing to death in Hongu. ”

"Yin Hanlin has always been sophisticated and steady, with a cold temperament, and is notoriously disliked women. Bengong remembers that when Bengong took care of the government for the emperor, he was the first to oppose it, and he also took the lead in scolding Bengong for causing chaos in the court. ”

"This palace and him have always been incompatible. Moreover, everyone in the DPRK and China said that he liked men, and the Gong sacrifice wine of the same country was a pair. How could he be interested in this palace? Aqi, it's not that you heard it wrong. (To be continued.) )
