Chapter 212: Silent Tears
But he let his children help him, for the seemingly illusory Iron Shura plan, when the two of them were on the bed, his eyes couldn't help but light up when he described his army, and his thirst for his body slowly faded, he said that it was a steel immortal in the real sense, and his strength was no less than that of Qingguo's flying dragon.
"Sometimes," the empress said slowly, "the best thing to do is to do nothing, put down the sword in your hand, close your eyes and feel this battlefield, the king's breath is a huge gold mine for us, part of our soul is in the king's breath, we are the emperor on high, we have our own way of fighting, we are not blindly wielding the sword...... Son, you, like your father, have stepped into the battlefield, and you have to endure the torment of war. ”
She put her hand on Chu Xianzhao's shoulder, tried to smile and said, "You have to be patient, you have to learn to understand the words of the people around you, you were born with a daughter, and there are many people who are willing to work for you, but the real reason is to help you, there are very few people who warn you, and loyalty is good for action, you have to learn to communicate with the people around you, not just blindly believe in your relatives, you need many, many allies, as strong as your father." ”
"My father's vision of choosing allies is not very good, just like the wolf king Liu Kang, Aunt Ning, why did you say that he wanted to form an alliance with someone as disgusting as Liu Kang, everyone didn't like him. He subconsciously bit his lip as he did when he was a child.
"Yes, there are very few people who like him, and the vast majority of people are afraid of him and afraid of him, but this is inevitably a kind of rule, the wolf king Liu Kang has reigned much farther than me and your father, why has no one dared to overthrow his regime, think about the child, you are so smart and you must be able to understand. ”
Chu Xianzhao sat on the stump of the tree and listened attentively: "But how far can a country ruled by fear go, once the wolf king Liu Kang dies, I dare to say that the people of the country will inevitably rebel, I can't accept that way of rule." ”
"You are a good person, you will definitely become a benevolent king if you inherit your father's position in the future, but you have to understand that existence is reasonable, fear has the meaning of fear existing, it is too difficult and too rare to be a beloved emperor, like Qingguo, they also use fear to rule the country, as long as their dragon is still flying over the border, their rule will never be extinguished like the sun, although this is cruel, but it works. ”
"Someone told me that all the glory and power of Qingguo comes from dragons, and as long as their dragons disappear forever from the clouds, this Central Plains power will fall like a meteor in the world, and there will be no day to rise. Chu instantly summoned the quiet road.
"It's a novel way to say that you and your father have tried to defeat them, and I will support you behind them. She rubbed her daughter's face and kissed her forehead lightly, as if she were afraid that she would disappear.
"Aunt Ning...... You and your father, the emperor and him. Chu Xianzhao wanted to speak and stopped, but the empress smiled with relief: "It turns out that you already knew, so what are you going to do, child, to tell everyone about all this?"
"As you say, do nothing, say nothing. Chu Xianzhao sighed, the woman rubbed his head, and said softly with a smile: "What a good boy, Aunt Ning liked you at first sight." ”
Chu Xianzhao took two steps back and breathed a sigh of relief: "I don't care about the old relationship between you and my father, and I am not qualified to care, after you came to Yinguo, I can see that my father has been very happy...... And I know that my father went to Shuyue a long time ago...... I also know that Aunt Ning is a good person, a really good person...... Therefore, if you want to see your father in the future, you can come to Yinguo at any time, and everyone welcomes you. ”
The empress suddenly turned red, lowered her head, and the fingers that were as tender as spring onions as a girl were tightly twisted on Chu Xianzhao's sleeves.
Chu Xianzhao was embarrassed: "Take 10,000 steps back and say, you are also my elder, like an aunt or something...... This time, after we solve Yan Fu, and then lend troops to you to recapture Shuyue, how majestic is the Yinguo Iron Cavalry, when the time comes, we will ride a black horse with the army into Lijing City, and drive away all those rebellious ministers and thieves...... Hmmm......"
The empress stared at him with raised eyebrows: "Who is your aunt? I didn't marry your father!"
Chu Xianzhao quipped: "This may be a thing, you are still so young, when the war is over, maybe you will really have a chance to continue the frontier, I hope that the beloved people in the world will eventually become dependents, and raise your eyebrows to become a fairy couple." ”
"Sour, child, you speak so sourly, much sour than your father, I think your sister is the most like your father. She rubbed the crow's feet on her forehead and chuckled.
"Boys follow their mothers, girls follow their fathers. ”
She smiled: "I don't believe that the grassland princess is also like you, say something that offends you, after knowing that your father married Princess Lou Huan, I really looked down on your father and emperor, and gave up the cabbage to the mouth and didn't gnaw, what is so good about the grassland barbarian?"
"If only my father was really with you back then...... After that, there will be no me and my brothers and sisters, and the people of the Golden Horde are not all barbarians, but also heroes and beauties, they are the same as me, and we are in the north in life and death. The boy said softly.
The empress smiled and stopped talking, she liked the words of the young man from the bottom of her heart.
Tantai Ning rubbed the corners of his eyes, looked at Chu Xianzhao bitterly, he rubbed her hair, bent down and carried her up, the little princess fell asleep peacefully on Chu Xianzhao's back, and Tantai Ningsu followed them and walked slowly.
The moonlight is bright, the night breeze is gentle, and in the quiet mountain forest, they are like a family of three.
Tantai Ningsu insisted on asking Chu Xianzhao to stay in the carriage to accompany them, Tantai Ningning fell asleep slowly with Chu Xianzhao's legs, his small mouth was closed, Chu Xianzhao looked at the night outside the window, he thought to himself that he should have gone back to accompany Hua Youyue, and apologized by the way, he slowly closed his eyes and forced himself to sleep, he was too tired these days, and he had to sleep well after arriving in Jingnan City.
"Uh......h Woo...... Hmmm......"
Chu Xianzhao reopened his eyes and was shocked by the scene in front of him,
Tantai Ning Su is crying!
Shoulders tremble.
Her tears were almost silent, two lines of clear tears flowed silently on her face, her eyes could not tell whether they were resentment or sadness, she said nothing, she blindly looked at the full moon in the sky, and cried silently, her white hair floated in the wind, and the woman was quiet, like an ice sculpture
"Aunt Ning......" Chu instantly called out in a panic and shouted tentatively, but Tantai Ning Su ignored her.
On that fairy-like face, sadness came to his face like a tidal wave, Chu Xianzhao felt that the softest place in his heart was pierced hard, and it was difficult for Chu Zhaozhao to maintain his composure in his heart at this time.
He hurriedly pulled out the silk scarf from his arms and handed it to Tantai Ningsu, but the woman was still silent, shook her head slightly, wept silently, and occasionally snorted.
Is this the collapse of adults? I dare not cry out loud in broad daylight, but can only cry silently in the middle of the night.
"Instant Call...... A little advice for you, don't have children in the future, if you want to be happy forever......" She said in a hoarse voice as she looked at the platform.
"Yes...... Maybe I want it very much?" Chu Xianzhao smiled reluctantly, and the empress snorted and laughed: "I'm joking with you, children are the best, you should have a lot of children in the future." ”
The tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed, Chu Xianzhao wiped the empress's cheeks with his own hands, and slowly wiped away the tears, but this time, more tears flowed out, and Tantai Ningsu suddenly hugged Chu Xianzhao's arm and cried out with a sob.
Chu Xianzhao watched her shrink in his arms, he didn't even know where to put his hands, he was still sleeping on his lap, he didn't even dare to move, the whole person froze, his head was completely empty, and the empress cried in his arms for a while: "Why me...... What the hell am I doing wrong...... Why ......"
"Aunt Ning......"
"Instant Call...... I will tell you, and tell you all the sins I have committed...... Let you see the true face of me, the Empress of Shuyue. She raised her head and looked up at him, when the pear blossoms brought rain, the fragrance came to her face, Chu Xianzhao nodded stiffly, he didn't know why Tantai Ning Su was so excited, and at the same time he looked around nervously, this is a military camp, if you let the soldiers on night patrol see him and the Empress Shuyue hugging each other late at night, if it is passed out, it will not be washed by jumping into the Yellow River.
Tantai Ningsu closed the curtain and lowered her head in front of Chu Xianzhao like a child who had done something wrong, she slowly and solemnly talked about the past, time suddenly became extremely slow and slow, Chu Xianzhao listened to her quietly, and gradually he roughly understood what kind of person this Shuyue empress in front of him was, perhaps more than his father.
"Instant Call...... You are wrong, I am not a good person at all, everything I have suffered so far, the destruction and suffering of our family, is because of me...... Because I can't love a man like that. She said quietly.
There was deep pain and disappointment between the woman's eyebrows, and Chu instantly stopped talking, but in the end he didn't know what to say.
It's always a good idea to shut up at this time.
"I'm just a woman, and I hate myself for being just a woman. Tantai Ningsu's voice was a little hoarse and terrifying: "I am a little younger than your father, but I am no longer young, you know how painful it is for a woman in her thirties who only has a daughter and no partner, even if she is an empress." ”
Chu Xianzhao didn't speak, Tantai Ningsu gradually let go of his hand, sat next to Chu Xianzhao and hugged his knees, the expression on his face was very painful, Chu Xianzhao looked at her calmly: "It must be very tired and tired." ”
"Who is not tired alive?" Then she looked at her daughter, and smiled softly at that moment: " I was originally just a princess like your sister, and I didn't have to be entangled in the pain of the world all day long, and I could do what I liked to do whatever I wanted, until I met your father, and then he left, but I sat on the most noble chair in Shuyue, and during the fifteen-year reign, I did my best to govern the country, but my people are still not satisfied, all the hard work I have put in is nothing in their eyes, and they will only veto my efforts with one sentence......"
"She's just a woman...... It's nothing but noble blood, and she's just a woman......" she looked into Chu Xuanzhao's eyes and said word by word.
"I'm the only one in the dormitory, and my husband will only be immersed in the brothel of Lijing City all night, and even if he comes back, I don't want him to touch me with his dirty bitch hands...... Perhaps it is my iniquity, for I am afraid as soon as midnight, and sometimes I prefer to diligently read the recitals in my room until dawn the next day. Even when someone spoke to me, he kept his head down and called me His Majesty, and I had no idea what he was thinking. It was useless for me to go back to the dormitory, it was empty, as if it were for the dead, cold, and I sometimes sat on the bed until dawn, and there were candles lit in every corner of the dormitory, and I sat on the edge of the bed like a madman and giggled like a madman, and I could laugh all night. She smiled wryly.
"I don't know what I'm laughing at......"
"No one will care about me except my daughter, all the villains in the Shuyue Palace are two-faced and three-stabbed, the courtiers are working the surface, but in private they have a virtue with my husband, and they hand over the country to such a person to govern, they also want me to defeat the army of Hou Chu, how can you let me do this as a woman, I don't even have a hug to rely on, I have nothing but my daughter......"
Chu Xianzhao was completely speechless at this time, covering his mouth and lowering his head, his nose sour.
The woman in front of him had exposed all her weakness and pain, and the boy didn't know what else he could do, maybe he couldn't do anything.
"I was really happy when you said just now that I could live with your father and emperor after the war, but when I thought about it, did I have such qualifications? If the gods and Buddhas really could punish the sins of the world, I would have died a long time ago...... But I can't die for my daughter's sake......" she took a deep breath.
"Instant Call...... I want you to promise me a condition, if you can do it, I can give you the whole of Shuyue, it will always be yours, even your father can't take it away. Her eyes gradually tended to be frenzied, the gaze of a gambler, desperate.
"My ......" Chu Xianzhao shivered fiercely, and then shook his head.
"Can you agree to this condition?"
"Tell me, I'll do my best. ”
"You promise me first. ”
"You don't say how I promise you?"
The empress bit her lower lip and looked at him, her shoulders shook and tears fell again, Chu Xianzhao hurriedly comforted: "I promise you, promise you......"
When Tantening Su finished saying the request, fatigue drove the boy to slowly lower his head and insert his fingers into his hair: "Why do you have to do this...... This is the worst option, and I promised my father that I would protect you. ”
"You just promised him to escort me back to Shuyue, and then my life and death have nothing to do with you, but my daughter is still young, I can die, but she can't live like me like a puppet of Tantai Ninghua, you are a little stubborn, or hard-hearted, and refuse to bow to bad people and bad things, people like you are rare, so I am very relieved to hand her over to you. ”
"The grievances between me and Tantai Ninghua will end soon, and after that, I need to return a clean court and country to you and her, and I will bear all the sins...... Everything after that is yours and no one can take it away. ”
The woman's request has a weight that Chu Xianzhao can't bear, and she swears as the empress of Shuyue, sonorous and powerful!
"But ......"
"There's nothing to do, after that, I have no regrets, okay, child, I'm tired after talking so much, borrow your shoulder and let me sleep for a while." ”
Inside the carriage.
Tantai Ning Su buried his face in Chu Xianzhao's arms, held his arm, and slowly closed his eyes.
The woman muttered.
No tears were shed.
There was no crying.
Chu Xuanzhao was gloomy, slightly stopped the woman's shoulders, quietly entered the dream, and said to himself: "Mother, grandfather...... I'm fine, really nice......"
