"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is inappropriate to go to the Chu State in person! The Son of Heaven is the body of a daughter, why do you get involved in other people's lands? Besides, how do you deal with the enthronement ceremony of the Chu Emperor? Sage, please think twice!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice!" The ministers in the main hall knelt down, and only a few people sitting at the bottom of the imperial stairs did not move. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I've been arguing for a few days, and I'm tired. The faces on the royal steps loomed behind the twelve crowns, and their voices were clear and cold, "Zhuqing is not tired, and I don't want to listen to it." ”

"Zhao Shangshu. Qi Lang's voice became more and more cold, "When the national letter was not issued, you didn't advise, but now that the reply from the Chu State has arrived, you persuade me not to go." You're trying to make me a rebel in front of the rest of the world, but huh?"

Qi Lang's tone raised slightly, and the sentence "but" was dragged out for a long time, without a trace of emotion, but it made everyone feel cold behind their backs.

Zhao Shangshu, who knelt down first, had to lie on the ground at this time and said, "The minister doesn't dare!"

"Then what does Zhao Shangshu want me to do?" Qi Lang's tone was a little emotional, a little softer, but it made the ministers below tremble. They all lowered their heads, not daring to look at Qi Lang's slowly sweeping eyes.

"The minister thinks that it is not inappropriate for His Majesty to go to Chu in person. At this time, Lin Hang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites who was standing on one side, smiled slightly, and said, "Since this matter is already a certainty, why bother to discuss it again? ”

"What do you think?" Qi Lang tilted his head slightly, looking at the middle-aged man sitting upright, "Who do you recommend to supervise the country?"

Taiwei Mu Ke was ordered by him, sighed secretly in his heart, and said, "How about asking Prime Minister Wang Cheng to supervise the country?"

Wang Su, the prime minister of Wang Cheng who was mentioned by him, sat opposite him, heard this, slowly raised his head, his eyes were stunned, and he was about to be sober, like the eyebrows and eyes of the freehand mountains and rivers were clear and not stained with dust.

"Ruyang wants to follow me. Qi Lang waved his hand, "Old Seven, how about you come to prison the country?"

Qi Yue, the king of Ning, who was named by Qi Lang, immediately knelt on the ground and said, "The younger brother is frightened, and he must do his best." ”

"Taiwei and Taifu are in power, and Shangshu and Jiuqing are assistants. Qi Lang called Qi Yue up, "Now that it's the spring ploughing season, please pay more attention." Internal and external matters, prudent decision-making. ”

The ministers were terrified. ”

"Your Majesty. After he got out of the court, Wang Su was stopped by Qi Lang's attendant and led him to the palace wall.

"Ahh Qi Lang, who was facing away from him, smiled slightly, turned around, and wore a moon-white regular dress that made him as warm as jade, and he did not have the cold and solemn appearance of the court.

Wang Su slowly stepped forward, stood beside him, and said, "Your Majesty summons the ministers, do you have something important?"

Qi Lang turned around and walked slowly along the road on the city wall, and Wang Su also followed him, listening to him: "In your opinion, who forced Zhao Jie to be this rafter?"

"I don't know. ”

"I told you to speak. ”

"Captain. Wang Su smiled hypocritically, and his voice was clear, "After all, the noble concubine is still grounded by you, and this time it is the virtuous concubine who is accompanying you." Lord Taiwei has suffered a big loss. ”

"Captain. Qi Lang's voice was gloomy, and his disgust was undisguised, "I'm afraid that he really thinks of himself as the ruler of the country." ”

"In theory, he is also a national ruler. Wang Su still smiled meaningfully, "The princess is the crown princess you are marrying, and the ancestors and ancestors, heaven and earth, mountains and rivers can be testified." ”

Qi Lang's steps froze, he turned his head to look at the hypocritical smile on Wang Su's face that he was too lazy to hide, sighed, and said, "Why mock me." ”

"I don't dare. ”

"Why don't you dare? Qi Lang sighed, and couldn't help but reach out to stroke the wrinkle between his brows, "I deserve it." ”

"What do you think about the rebuilding of Chenghou Mansion?" Qi Lang leaned his body against the city wall, and his eyes fell on the east of the city.

"Your Majesty has made a calculation in his heart, and the minister has no objection. Wang Su also looked at him, "It's just that Your Majesty has ever thought that no matter whether this matter is successful or not, her brother and sister will find it difficult to get along with themselves in the Chu State." ”

"The new emperor's minister, the son of the Su family, is difficult to exaggerate. Qi Lang said expressionlessly, "Today, it is still a little difficult for me to restore Su Yin's reputation, but I want them to know that this matter will not be settled like this." ”

"Who is good for restoring Cheng Hou's reputation?" Wang Su's voice couldn't help but raise a few points, "Yu Ayan, Yu Ajun, it's only good for you! I'm afraid that on the day it happens, the two of them will also be put to death." ”

"Asu, you're out of shape. Qi Lang sighed and turned around, "You and I both know that Cheng Hou died in vain, and this is also something that Ah Yan can't let go, I just want to give her a clean slate." ”

"By the way, expel the Taiwei from the court, show favor to the Taifu, and pull the Liu family back into your camp. Wang Su's expression returned to his former calmness, but he couldn't hide the mockery in his eyes, "The former dynasty and the harem are all your pawns, where can the minister say anything, what else can he say." ”

Qi Lang only smiled bitterly, looked at Wang Su, and did not speak.

Wang Su closed his eyes, sighed, and said, "Since Your Majesty has already made up your mind to abandon her, why do you have to go thousands of miles to see this? ”

"Ah Su, what do you see under the city wall?" Qi Lang said with a difficult meaning, and there was one sigh after another between the words.

"Wanping City, the people of the southern country, your country. ”

"It is a huge world, and it is a mountain and river that has not been one. Qi Lang sighed lightly, "Since I was a child, the first time I stood here to look at the lights of Wanping City, I made a wish that one day, heaven, earth, mountains and rivers will be unified in my hands." Today, it hasn't changed. ”

"In the world of great controversy, the husband also has national worries. Qi Lang said softly, "This has always cost a price." ”

Wang Su stood beside him and looked at his side face. His face, which was only twenty-one years old, had a cold old age that was completely inconsistent with his age, and there was a perseverance in his eyes that could not be ignored. Such high-spirited words, he said only a thousand words, but it did not seem like a grand statement.

"But I still begged, there is a woman in the middle of the world. Qi Lang slowly closed his eyes, "Twenty-one years after her appearance, I thought she was dead, so I gave up this thought." ”

"Now, although she is still alive. Qi Lang sighed, "But this seems to have really become a luxury." ”

"But I don't have the word extravagance here, only, I can't get it or ask for it. Qi Lang pointed to his chest and said to himself, "I have already lost her, so I have to hope that I can be less sorry for her." ”

"Ah Yan is not something you can get just by asking for it. Wang Su smiled bitterly, "She was sincere when she was young, you didn't want it, and now she hates you so much, how can she turn back." ”

"Su Yan, I'm bound to win. Qi Lang put away the bitterness in his tone, and his tone suddenly hardened, "No matter who she is now." ”

"Wang Su, I am such a person. Qi Lang chuckled, "Shameless?" maybe. But so what. ”

Wang Su looked at Qi Lang speechlessly, and smiled bitterly for a while, and said, "The minister retired." ”

After speaking, he turned around coldly, stepped on the steps and went down the palace wall without looking back, and disappeared from Qi Lang's sight, and Qi Lang was the only one left on the city wall.

The warm spring breeze in February blew over his body, but Qi Lang couldn't help but tighten his cloak, and it was cold. He placed his hand on his chest, and the vague touch made him still feel his heartbeat.

This heart is still there.

He indulged himself to look at the east of the city, as if he could see the Wuyi Alley lined with families, and the girl who ran away with an azure twenty-four bone oil paper umbrella in the early rainy morning, shyly took his hand to buy the apricot blossoms at the mouth of the alley.

His life began on the night of the third day of the twelfth month of the twenty-first year of his reign, and ended in the light of the fire of that night.
