Chapter 2 Alive
Just when the country of Xieguo was in dire straits and the mountains and rivers were broken, the Great Jin Dynasty was a prosperous and prosperous country. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
The sunlight passed through the Taihe Palace, and the broken gold dotted on the ground was dotted, which also brought some vitality to the cool and dull Taihe Palace. Jin Yi, the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, did not feel the slightest warmth, but sat behind the bookcase in a preoccupied state to review the fold, and in front of him was a fold submitted by the Ministry of War, saying that it was Jin Xi, the king of Langya, who asked for orders to support the state of Xie and conquer the country of Qi.
"Where is Jin Xi now, what are you doing?"
Jin Guojun slowly raised his head, and seemingly casually glanced at Qu Ying, the secretary of the military department who was standing in front of him.
"Your Majesty," Qu Ying cleared his throat and said without hesitation, "Since the last time King Langya rebelled against Yan Xun, he defeated Fu Bo, the general of Yan State, and is now the assassin of Chongzhou." A few days ago, the people of Wuqing County gathered people to commit rebellion, and the king of Langya ordered the army Sima to go to quell the rebellion, and then make military merits. β
"He's really busy......" Jin Yi seemed to be very satisfied with King Langya's performance, and a rare smile surfaced, "But you see, he is so busy that he still has the leisure to take care of the 'idle affairs' of other countries." β
The emperor raised the fold in his hand, and at the same time glanced at the prime minister Xie Shi beside him, Xie Shi understood what the emperor meant, because he was the main battle faction, and he had always supported some of the military actions of King Langya, and the monarch of Jin seemed to be intending to test Xie Shi's meaning, so he kept looking at him with his eyes.
"Your Majesty said that three days ago, the State of Xie was annihilated by the Kingdom of Qi in one fell swoop," without waiting for Xie Shi to respond, Qu Ying said, "King Langya just asked for his life to go, and did not say that this trip must go." β
"Oh, what does Xie Qing think?" Jin Yi asked Xie Shi.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is not appropriate to send troops at this time," Xie Shi bowed slightly, and said respectfully, "Xieguo is now ruined, we don't have to make matters worse, besides, the fat has fallen into the mouths of others, is it still impossible to take food from the tiger's mouth, it is better to see if there are refugees from Xieguo who have been exiled to the border of the Jin Dynasty, and collect them for their own use, which is also a good deed, and it also fulfills the chivalrous heart of King Langya." β
"Oh, when did Xie Qing become so soft-hearted," Jin Yi smiled meaningfully and teased, "Fresh." β
Xie Shi didn't argue, just bowed his head and said tactfully: "It's Your Majesty who is wise." β
Jin Yi nodded in understanding, was silent for a long time, and said softly:
"Jin Xi has worked hard enough for the country in the past two years, tell him to rest for a while, don't indulge in force, don't forget to have a home...... As for the war, it is not tense now, just let Pingnan Wang Huan go to guard it. β
Thinking of his young and promising, brave and warlike son, Jin Yi's face was both relieved and contradictory, his son became a pillar of talent, and it was naturally a good thing to protect the country's pillars, but I was afraid that he would be obsessed with the battlefield and ignore many important things and the gains outweighed the losses - Jin Yi, the monarch of the Jin Kingdom, was unrequited in love with the queen, and there were few heirs in the harem, the eldest princess Jin Li and the little princess Jin Yu, Jin Xi ranked second.
This kid likes military books and weapons since he was a child, soaked in the barracks, the emperor thought it would be good to let him go out and practice, but since the death of the crown prince Jin Yan was seriously ill, the emperor has attached great importance to Jin Xi, for fear that something will happen to him, the only prince, and there is no successor to the Great Jin, so he can't tie him to his side every day, after the last promise to put him down the rebellion, if the place settles down, he will return to the court immediately, but he didn't expect this kid's heart to still not come back, how can he not make the emperor worried and worried, and had to give an "order"?!
"Your Majesty." The eunuch Li Cheng wasted no time in handing over the freshly brewed Longjing tea.

Murong Jin has been in Qiguo for a few days, and she has made the worst and worst plans on the way here, including all kinds of hardships and hardships in life and even emergencies, but she didn't expect to be arranged by Fu Mian in the Invitation Moon Palace, and sent five slaves and maids to serve around the world, and she can still move around freely with good food and drink all day long, this kind of "high-level prisoner" treatment makes her uncomfortable.
From the moment she stepped on the gate of Qiguo, she deeply felt that the strength of Qiguo was no less powerful than that of Xie, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the army was in order.
In fact, Murong Jin is not ignorant of Fu Xuan, and he also knows something from his father and ministers, under the appearance of a generous, benevolent, and courteous corporal, there is a wolf ambition to compete for the Central Plains and dominate the world, and everything that is beneficial to the country will be indomitable even if there are thorns in front of her, such an opponent really makes her dare not underestimate it.
It was almost dusk, the boundless twilight was falling, the tired birds were returning to their nests, Murong Jin and Hongxing were walking in the garden outside the Inviting Moon Palace, recalling the scenes of the first arrival in Qiguo.
"Princess, it's getting late, go back to the palace quickly, I'm worried about catching a cold." The red apricot was beside Murong Jin, and gently straightened the cloak that was about to slip off Murong Jin's shoulder.
"Hongxing, I'm fine," Murong Jin frowned slightly, taking a deep breath, "I'm just fed up with this kind of mixed eating and waiting for death." There was a bit of resentment in his words.
"I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in Your Majesty's gourd, it's been so many daysβ"
"Whose name is Your Majesty?" Murong Jin turned his head suddenly, his eyes showed a cold light, and he reprimanded sharply, his expression was also a little disappointed, "I bought you in just these few days of comfort, and bowed down to him, didn't you?" β
Hongxing hurriedly knelt down in front of Murong Jin and said softly: "The princess is angry, the slave maid has no such intention, but the current situation is in front of us, after all, we are in a foreign country, and every move falls in the eyes of others, if we are not careful, the slave maid is only afraid that it will cause unnecessary trouble to the princess." β
Murong Jin suddenly came to her senses and regretted that she was not as sober as a maid, so she stepped forward to help her up, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Hongxing, it's me who is not calm enough, even so, don't call me a princess in the future." β
"No, Your Majesty has specially instructed that you still have the dignity of a princess, and we have to call you a princess," Hong Xing looked at Murong Jin seriously and said, "Have you forgotten that the palace maids sent by Your Majesty call you 'princess'." β
"Even so," Murong Jin said with a calm face, "don't want me to be grateful to him for this and respect him." β
The princess's temperament was already ripe, so she didn't dissuade her, but just comforted her a little and then diverted the topic: "It's strange to say, you have been in Qi Country for so many days, and General Murong has never shown up." β
Hongxing regretted it as soon as she said it, and sure enough, Murong Jin sneered: "How can he still have the face to come to see me." β
Before the words fell, a palace maid in a hurry walked in front of her, and said with a bow: "Princess, General Murong has arrived, please return to the Moon Palace immediately." β
Murong Jin sneered even more in his heart: he really dared to come!
"Nope!" Murong Jin turned his face away, and he didn't want to say anything.
"Princess," the palace maid was embarrassed, "the general, he asked the slave to tell you, he has something to say to you, please be sure to ......."
Murong Jin remembered that Fu Mian had said that he promised Murong Hui to keep the "treasure of the town" of Xieguo, and he was suspicious, could there be any hidden meaning in this?
"Let's go." Murong Jin said lightly, turned around and left.
After entering the Invitation Moon Palace, Murong Jin found that it was not only Murong Hui who came, but also his sister-in-law Lan, and his two little nephews Murong Lin and Murong Cong. Seeing Murong Jin coming in, Murong Hui took the lead in standing up and stepped forward:
"Sister Jin, you've always been good?"
Murong Jin glanced at Murong Hui: as always, he was dignified, handsome, dressed in a moon-white silk dark pattern flower robe, his hair was neatly set in a jade ring, his face was ruddy, and his expression was radiant.
It's so calm, and there is no shame!
"Am I okay, didn't General Murong see it?" The more Murong Jin looked down on him in his heart, the more polite he became, "Thanks to you, I'm inviting Yue Palace to eat and drink, and I can't die!" β
Murong Hui felt a dull pain in his heart for no reason, his face twitched, and he was embarrassed and overwhelmed, and after a while, he stepped forward, held Murong Jin's shoulder, and said softly:
"Sister Jin, my brother knows that you have suffered a lot of grievances and sufferings, and no one has to talk to you in this foreign land......"
"Stop calling yourself 'brother' in front of me, you don't deserve it!" Murong Jin was aroused by Murong Hui's emotions, she tore off Murong Hui's hand on her shoulder, walked away a few steps and said in disgust, "When I came, I told your majesty that I wanted to slash you, I only hate that I don't even have a short dagger now, otherwise-"
"Stop!" Murong Lin was startled when he saw that Murong Jin didn't do anything and rushed forward to grab his father's throat, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull, "Auntie, don't be like this, let it go, you have something to say." β
The Lan clan was also frightened, and stepped forward a few steps to dissuade him: "Princess, let go, I will listen to your cousin finish speaking," and then turned his head to Murong Hui, who was standing there motionless, and said, "Husband, you have to say something, who knows your suffering over the years." β
Murong Hui let Murong Jin vent and fightβher little strength was actually nothing to him.
When she was tired, he exhaled a long breath, and then clutched his chest and said:
"Sister Jin, I know that you hate me and are even ashamed of me, but my brother is not just one person now, I also have a wife and children, and we really can't stay in Xieguo."
Murong Jin remembered that when he was in Xieguo before, Fu Mian told himself about Murong Hui's experience, but for some reason, he couldn't show the slightest sympathy, and his words were even more harsh:
"My cousin was excluded and suppressed by his uncle, and in order to protect himself, he had no choice but to join the enemy, this is your 'bitterness' of disobeying your ancestors and forgetting your ancestors, trampling on your own land with the hands of others, and enslaving the people?! Good reason, enough to be sufficient, but no confidence! Murong Jin took a deep breath and walked up to Murong Hui, his face was so heavy that he could drip water, "Have you ever imagined the moment when the Qi Kingdom was overwhelmed, the Xie Kingdom was destroyed, the corpses and bones were piled up, the blood flowed like a river, and the lives were devastated!" β
Murong Hui stood there in a daze, his face was gray, and he couldn't say anything to refute.
The Lan family couldn't see that his husband was counted down like this, so he stopped Murong Hui with an arrow step and said:
"Sister Jin, we are not in the same situation as you, so I don't expect you to understand, but please ......"
"Let's go, I don't think we have anything more to say," Murong Jin turned his back and said coldly, "Hongxing, send off!" β
"Xiao Jin......"
"Sending off!"
"Sister Jin, take care, I'll come to see you another day for my brother!"
Murong Hui was already ashamed of his own place, so he left the Inviting Moon Palace with his wife and children in disgrace.
"Princess, are you really so?"
At night, Hongxing waited for Murong Jin to go to bed and couldn't help asking.
"What's wrong?" Mu Rongjin asked absentmindedly.
"After all, in this unaccompanied, foreign country, you only have General Murong."
Murong Jin was in a very chaotic mood, before seeing Murong Hui, he wanted to listen to him, trying to make himself understand him and forgive him, but when he appeared, seeing that he had no remorse, he hated him even more in his heart, and the more he wanted to draw a line with him Murong Hui, no matter what the reason!
"Hongxing, you also saw it just now, my cousin has ever repented for his actions, not even the slightest guilt," Murong Jin stared at the dim bedroom, his eyes were sometimes dim and sometimes transparent, "Such a traitor, disloyal and unfilial person, even if there is really any reason, I don't bother to be with him!" β
"Yes, princess!"
Hong Xing pursed her lips, said no more, obediently covered Murong Jin with a quilt, extinguished the candle, and exited the door.
