Chapter 257
Xingzi leaned forward and said excitedly: "The roots of the Great Qin civilization are no longer in that land, but here, in our Fusang!" So—"
She suddenly couldn't say any more, because her Zhou Jun glanced at her coldly, that glance was like cold electricity, like frost, that is, when she forced her to keep her before, she had never seen such a cold and angry look in Zhou Jun's eyes, which made people feel cold.
Cai Wei said coldly: "The so-called root of my Great Qin civilization is in your Fusang, that's just what you Fusang people think, and the usurians still say that Confucius belongs to their family?" ”
"Isn't what I'm telling the truth?" Xingzi was not convinced.
"Of course not! The real Great Qin civilization will only be rooted in the land of China, it is only forgotten by most people, but it has never really disappeared, because for thousands of years, no matter how the etiquette system, clothing and deeds of our country have changed, and how the people have become ignorant and rude, and they do not know how to be fearful, but that little bit of civilization and faith is still passed down from generation to generation among people with lofty ideals in our country. At this time, although it is the light of the candle, as long as it takes time, it will be a spark and can also start a prairie fire! ”
"But you don't have time left, your land is about to be occupied by the Jin, and when you become the slaves of the Jin, your so-called fire will not be passed down at all, let alone spark the prairie fire."
"So, stay, Zhou Jun! Stay here and don't go back! ”
Cai Wei rubbed her forehead, very helpless, "Your Majesty, since General Tokugawa already knows my identity, then if you want to keep me, you can't keep it." ”
"I said it, don't call me Majesty!" Xingzi suddenly swept all the cups, plates, and saucers on several cases to the ground.
Looking at the mess in that place, she was stunned, and suddenly covered her face with her hands and sat down on the ground.
She's out of control, she's out of control again, out of control. Knowing that she was just a puppet, she couldn't get anything, and she couldn't even keep someone she liked by her side, but the more she couldn't control her fate, the more she wanted to grab something.
"Xingzi," Cai Wei slowed down when she saw her slightly trembling shoulders, "Why do you want to come to see me in women's clothes tonight?" ”
Xingzi still buried his head deep in his hands, and after a while, he muffled and said, "I don't want to wear men's clothes anymore, I hate wearing men's clothes!" ”
What if she was wearing the emperor's men's clothes? She is still a woman, a woman who has no power in her hands, and can only rely on those powerful men to live in this cage made of gold wire, and cannot live freely.
After a pause, Xingzi said again: "In the morning, my crazy appearance scared Zhou Jun, I don't want Zhou Jun to leave here with such a memory, so I want you to see my true appearance before Zhou Jun leaves, this is what I should be." ”
"I want Zhou Jun to think of me many years later, and what he remembers in his mind is the elegant and beautiful Xingzi in a kimono, not the Guangmei Emperor who is always hiding behind the curtain and can't show his true face."
"But I've just lost my temper again, and I'll never be a lady."
"Who says a lady must not lose her temper? If this makes us feel better, then why can't we express our anger in our hearts? ”
Xingzi slowly lifted her head from her hands and looked Cai Wei directly into her eyes for the first time.
"Xingzi, is it tomorrow that I'm going to leave here?"
Xingzi lowered his eyes and said unwillingly: "The general will send someone to pick you up tomorrow." I've been putting it off for days, but I can't put it off any longer, tomorrow is the deadline. ”
"The deadline?" Cai Wei didn't understand, whether she continued to live in the Emperor's palace or was taken to the General's Palace, wasn't she still in Fuso Country? So how could Tokugawa Shutada be so anxious to ask for someone from his grandson, the emperor?
"If we can't send you to the seaport of Edo within five days, to you, to your husband's hands, then what awaits Edo Castle will be the fate of the destruction of the whole city."
"What are you talking about, you mean Qin Fei, he is in Edo now?" Did he actually come to pick her up himself?
Xingzi said with an indignant face: "The general sent your news back to Daqin, as long as your husband is willing to agree to us a small condition, he will let you go back." But none of us could have imagined that your husband, His Royal Highness the King of Linchuan, would take nearly a thousand warships under the command of General Zheng directly to Edo and surround all the harbors of our Fuso. ”
"He threatens to threaten others the most in his life, and if we don't let go of his princess, he will order all the artillery on his ship to fire all the artillery on his ship, raze our small island nation, and destroy me Fuso."
In the past three months, Cai Wei has scolded him in her heart, and at this time, after hearing the emperor say about her husband's domineering behavior, the anger in her heart against him has finally disappeared.
Every time, she thought that he had done the best for her, but she didn't want to, and her unexpected surprise was still waiting for her later.
He was quite low-key for her various births and deaths before, and no one knew, but this time, it was really too big, and he directly brought nearly a thousand ships to the door to ask for someone, which was simply high-profile!
Compared with her family Afei, what did Wu Changbo's anger at the crown be so weak before, okay? For a woman to defect to the enemy and betray the country, how can it be compared to a woman who dares to rob Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will destroy you to be domineering, this is a real man's husband!
Xingzi saw that her Zhou Jun's eyes revealed a strange brilliance, and the whole person suddenly became radiant, and his heart became more and more annoyed, and he said loudly: "Zhou Jun, your husband doesn't care about you at all, it's obviously just a trivial request, he just needs to nod his head, but if he wants to do this, he is not afraid of angering us, and he will kill you first?" ”
Cai Wei smiled and said, "You won't kill me." If you Fusang people say that you have a good temperament, you revere the strong, and if you say something bad, you are bullying the weak and fearing the hard. Most of your so-called small requests are related to shipping, or we want to replace half of the ships with people, or you want to go to the Western Ocean for nautical charts. ”
"If His Royal Highness gives you two things, then what kind of person has he become, won't he become a traitorous sinner, as the prince of Great Qin, he will naturally not do such a stupid thing, it is better to directly use his strong strength to deter you."
Besides, if Qin Fei really agreed stupidly, wouldn't it be tantamount to clearly telling the Fusang people what his weakness was, with the cunning nature of the Fusang people, how could he be willing to put her back so simply, most of them would have to hold on to her, and then knock out some oil and water from Qin Fei's hands.
Therefore, Qin Fei directly put on a copy of the dignity of the king and was offended, and ran over to smash the field murderously, so that the Fusang people thought that His Royal Highness the King of Linchuan cared about his face, not her wife. The more he showed that he didn't care much about her, the less Fusang would hold her tightly in the palm of his hand. It's just that this deep meaning naturally can't be told to Xingzi.
Xingzi was so angry that his face turned red, "But if he behaves like this, instead of fighting with the Jin Kingdom to regain lost territory, he is making such a big move for a woman, where does he put your reputation, isn't he afraid that you will become a red face in people's mouths and in the history books?" ”
Cai Wei said indifferently: "What others say is someone else's business, as long as I know who I am, as long as I can return to him, it is nothing to pay some price." ”
Xingzi finally couldn't speak, she knelt on the mat in a daze, put her hands on her forehead, and cried out in pain, "Why? Why do you want to go back to him so much, just because he's a man? He has a lot of strength and power, so you can't live without him? ”
She had never hated men as much as she did now. Those damn men, just because they were born with that disgusting thing, are superior everywhere, and status, power, and wealth are always their privileges, while women are eternally cut off.
Because of the power in his hands, her grandfather could dumben her voice and force her to wear men's clothes for twenty years, to be his puppet emperor, and not to have a life of her own.
Because of the power she possessed, the King of Linchuan of Great Qin could overwhelm the realm with a large army, and forced her to hand over the Zhou Jun she wanted to stay by her side with the safety of Fusang.
Why can these men bully her like this, isn't it because they have power and power in their hands?
"Zhou Jun, if I also have the power and army they have, then, will you be able to stay with me?"
Cai Wei shook her head, "Xingzi, you know it yourself, that's impossible. ”
"Hahahaha......" Xingzi suddenly laughed wildly, "Yes, this is impossible, I know that this is impossible, but I still ......"
"Zhou Jun, you must be laughing at me in your heart, right, knowing that you are just a guy who can't even decide your own fate, but you still keep saying this kind of thing to you, asking if you want to stay...... I can't do anything...... Me, I just want to ......"
What do you think? Even her own heart was at a loss, and she didn't know where this obsession in her heart came from.
Cai Wei vaguely understood in her heart that the female emperor knew that she couldn't keep herself, but she still had to entangle here repeatedly, maybe all she wanted was a sentence of "don't leave" that she said herself.
She has the name of the emperor but no power in her hands, and since she can't keep her own people, it may be her only comfort to hear herself say "I don't want to leave".
Perhaps she just wanted to prove that she didn't have to obey her like her maids, so she told her the story for nearly three months. What she wants is not a maid who obeys her, but a friend who can talk and laugh with her, a friend who is willing to be with her and accompany her to warm her, regardless of men and women, not about love, she is just lonely and lonely for too long, too longing for a companion.
