Chapter 16 Reign Alone
When Lord Yan was dragged out of the Reward and Punishment Division, it was said that he was beaten by Hua Mian watching from the side, and when he was about to lose his breath, he asked someone to carry him out, and his relatives died in the car before they could rush home after receiving someone.
The rest of the officials who had been dragged to the Reward and Punishment Division were all locked up inside, each in a single room, and there was nothing in the dark, and there was no arraignment or questioning. Everyone walked anxiously up and down the house where they couldn't even see their fingers, and then they didn't move.
After Hua Mian finished these things, he returned to Zhengyang Palace, and Bei Qi sat alone on the steps in front of the main hall, playing with the weeds growing on the steps, while waiting for Hua Mian. When he saw the flower face coming back, he stood up, and called him from afar,
"Uncle Flowerface."
Hua Yan clearly saw Beiqi's smile, under the sunset, it was red by the afterglow, and it was very moisturizing. Hua Yan looked at this child who had been with him for more than ten years, and at that moment I wanted to go back to the time when I was a child in Northern Qi, and I was still in the small hotel on the border of Qingguo. BAIC was still so short at that time that it couldn't reach his waist, but he would still sit in the backyard and wait for him to appear, whether he took care of the child or not, the child was reluctant to pester him to learn martial arts.
Hua Mian thought of that time, and took a closer look at the current Northern Qi Dynasty, it was really a long time in the past.
"Your Majesty."
Bei Qi smiled, although he was very concerned about the attitude of others towards him in front of others, but he never asked for a flower face from beginning to end. Hua Mian changed his name on the day he ascended the throne of Northern Qi, and it has not changed since then.
"Uncle Flower-Faced, what are we going to eat at night?"
Hua smiled with a smile, it stands to reason that the imperial dining room should be in charge of the emperor's dishes, but many years ago, with the help of Chang Gui, the food of Northern Qi became the small kitchen in Zhengyang Palace, and the imperial dining room was responsible for the queen mother's meals. But every time Beiqi asked Hua Mian what he was eating with a smile, Hua Mian knew that it was Bei Qi who wanted to eat the porridge he made.
"What, the emperor wants to eat vegetable porridge?"
Hua Yan can't cook, but Beiqi experienced so many things when he was young. I really couldn't eat in the first few years when I first ascended to the throne. Hua Mian couldn't help it, so he tried to make something for Beiqi to eat, and the best thing he did was that he once ate the vegetable porridge made by Gong Zhu. I've only eaten it, and I haven't made it myself, so I made it about it with my own memory. Beiqi tasted the taste of palace bamboo, and even Chang Gui once said that it was very similar to what his godfather made.
"Hehe, Uncle Flower Face has worked hard."
Beiqi smiled cheerfully, and looked at the smile with a smile and felt that it was the real Beiqi. Whether it's a scheming grin, or a mocking smile when you get a harvest. Or the cold smile when the killing is decisive, those are not the smiles of Northern Qi. The smile of the real Northern Qi should be like this, sunny, cheerful, lively and full of strength, this is the real Northern Qi.
Huayan went to the small kitchen, Beiqi followed, and the palace people retreated by themselves. Hua Mian put down his saber, rummaged through the kitchen to find the ingredients used, and obediently ran in front of the stove in Beiqi, looking at the fire and water. Let's see if everything here and there is complete, and give the flower face a hand.
After the vegetable porridge came out of the pot, Hua Mian Dan took a bowl and asked a little eunuch to send some to Chang Gui. The little eunuch who stayed in the kitchen was Chang Gui's godson, named Chang Xin. It was a little eunuch who asked Chang Gui to find after having a small kitchen, and he was able to be responsible for the safety of Northern Qi's diet.
At that time, Northern Qi had reached the rebellious period, because he often saw Chang Gui serving the Queen Mother, and heard the crazy words in the palace, Northern Qi began to doubt Chang Gui, and one night he lost his temper with the routine. The flower face knows that it is good to be expensive. After teaching Beiqi a lesson, he thought about when to ease the relationship between the two. It was at that time that the flower face asked Chang Gui for this matter, and Chang Gui also knew the intention of the flower face, so he brought Chang Xin.
The original words of the flower face are like this,
"Chang Xin can't speak. It's an honest child.,Often bullied in the imperial dining room.。 But I knew his true nature, and secretly adopted him as my godson, and named him Changxin, which means faithfulness. I sent Changxin here, hoping to help the emperor. I also hope that the emperor can understand Chang Gui's intentions. ”
Northern Qi has never doubted Chang Gui since then, and as he slowly grew up, he understood more that Chang Gui was not easy. As for Chang Xin, ordinary people seem to be just a cook who does ordinary work in the kitchen, but many secret things are asked to do it. Changxin is simple and neat, and he is very loyal.
Hua Mian asked Chang Xin to send Chang Gui this vegetable porridge, and Beiqi also added some side dishes that Chang Gui often eats. told Chang Xin that he could stay there for a while and then come back, and Chang Xin went with a smile.
Beiqi made a bowl of porridge for Hua Mian and himself, and he snorted and ate it. The flower face looked at the sweet Northern Qi and felt very satisfied,
"Your Majesty, thank you."
Beiqi was still snoring and eating, and his mouth was full of race, muttering and asking flowers.
"What did Uncle Flowerface say?"
Flower face smiled,
"Emperor Xie helped Huamian to avenge the murder of his father and mother and the seizure of the country."
Flower Face was originally the child of the leader of the largest country on the steppe, but that year he was killed by the leader of the ambitious tribe and took away the country that belonged to him. Northern Qi sent troops to the north this time, although it was also to show its strength, but the most important thing was to help Hua Mian avenge the hatred of the year. Originally, Northern Qi also said that after the grassland was recovered, he would ask Huamian to be the leader, but Huamian refused.
First, considering that the Northern Qi needed help around them, but considering that the grassland loved freedom and did not like to be controlled, he begged the Northern Qi not to take them back, but just ask them to break up the tribe and submit to the Northern Qi State. Northern Qi agreed.
"Hey, Uncle Flowerface, that's as it should be."
Hua Yan looked at such a sincere Beiqi, and still said the words that had been held in his heart for a long time.
"Northern Qi, you ascended to the throne when you were young, and I have always persuaded you to fulfill the last wishes of Lord Gongzhu and your mother, ascend to the throne, and be a good emperor. You also got through that difficult period with this in mind, and gradually grew. You say you're going to be the greatest, the best emperor. ”
After eating a bowl, Beiqi added a full bowl to himself,
"Yes, Uncle Flowerface. I said that sooner or later, one day, I will be the real emperor of the Northern Qi Kingdom, and then unify the Three Kingdoms, so that everyone on this continent can live a happy life! ”
In fact, this is what the Northern Qi did, and after General Lin and the others withdrew from the northern border, the Northern Qi immediately sent some doctors and scholars who had been convicted for minor crimes, most of whom were farmers. He hoped that these people could treat the people on the grassland, teach them to read, find food suitable for the people on the grassland, and improve their lives.
Huamian sighed, put down the bowl in his hand, and looked at Beiqi,
"I know you've done a great job and haven't let up for so many years. But why do you have to be so concerned about the princess of Qingguo, why do you have to marry that princess of Qixin? ”
Beiqi paused.
yes, why? If you want to be paid, just give the order to attack Qingguo directly, why do you have to send such a letter to ask to marry the princess of Qingguo?
Hua Yan looked at the stunned Beiqi, and felt that he could ask again,
"There is nothing we can do about the Queen Mother. I can only weaken her power little by little, but the time to deal with her is coming. What do you think of that princess in Qingguo? Back then, the prince of Yongchang abandoned us and fled, and later betrayed us, I know that you are haunted by this matter, and you must take revenge. But Northern Qi, why do you want to go to that princess? ”
Beiqi paused for a while, then found a spoon and stuffed rice into his mouth, without looking at his face. The flower face was really visible, Bei Qi's expression slowly became very scary, and the strength of his hand slowly increased, and he smashed the bowl after stuffing the last spoonful of porridge into his mouth.
"Because I'm not going to let that person go lightly. I just want him to taste the torment of wanting to protect people, and I just want to see his choice between the country and his daughter. And that princess, I just want her to know what it's like to be protected but powerless, I just want to see if she will live with her anger! ”
Beiqi roared angrily as if he was crazy, dancing vigorously to vent his feelings. Hua Yan was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
After Bei Qi lost his temper, he felt very embarrassed when he looked at Hua Yan. Because he had never exposed his heart like this in front of Flower Face, he trotted out and returned to the dormitory, leaving Flower Face alone to look at the debris all over the ground in a daze.
