128 The Rise of the King
It has been three years since the new king ascended the throne, and in the past three years, the state of Chu seems to have been silent, there is no movement at all, and Xi Fei has no time to grieve, because she wants to assist Xiong Jian to ascend to the throne, and God has not given her a chance to rest at all. The new king is still young, and this greatest power is undoubtedly in the hands of Xi Fei, but she has no sense of satisfaction at all, and often laments late at night: King, did you leave your concubine and leave first.
Xi Fei only dared to admit that she was really in love with this 'enemy' only when Xiong Cheng left, Ji Xi was too weak and often always let herself worry about him, but Xiong Yan was completely different, his love came domineering, he was always able to quickly find out what he was thinking, always paved the way for himself in the future, and always did it perfectly.
God, you are really playing with me, when I was Mrs. Xi, you didn't let me do it well, you desperately wanted me to be Mrs. Chu, now that I am Mrs. Chu, why don't you let me feel better, is it really interesting to tease me like this?
I suddenly remembered that I had ignored Xiong Yun's gentleness in those days, and now I really want to have it, but people always know after losing it, it turns out that what they really think in their hearts is like this, and it is often too late to meet.
Concubine Xi was immersed in her own thoughts, when suddenly a servant came over and reported: "Madam, the king is angry again, go and see!" ”
When it comes to him, he has a headache, and this child can't see a trace of a king for three years, so he said helplessly: "What's wrong with him?" ”
The attendant replied, "The king said that those words were dry and boring, and he was clamoring to go out hunting with Lord Ling Yin, and did not want to stay in this palace!" ”
"Confused!" Xi Fei said angrily: "He is the king, how can he say such irresponsible words, it's just nonsense, is it really a child's play for the great cause of the country?" Let's go and see how he goes! ”
Xi Fei walked over there, and heard Xiong Jian arguing over there from a distance. "I don't want it, I don't want it, it's boring." I don't study, I'm going out hunting, Uncle Wang said he would take me out! ”
"Where are you going?" Xi Fei came over and said calmly.
Gongzi Jian has not been by Xi Fei's side since he was a child, and he is still a little afraid of Xi Fei. But the temper that has been used to since childhood can't be changed, Zi just softened his tone and said, "I'm going out hunting, Uncle Wang said he would take me there!" ”
Xi Fei said angrily: "Your Uncle Wang said that he was going to take you out, but he didn't say that he would take you out today." You are the king, this Chu country has suffered a heavy blow, and there are all kinds of ruins waiting to be rebuilt, you are not working hard at this time, when will you wait. ”
"Since Uncle Wang has promised me, I will go out today. I don't care! ”
Seeing that he was so disobedient to discipline, Xi Fei suddenly became angry, took his hand and walked inside, and said sharply: "You can't go anywhere today, just sit here for the widow!" ”
Seeing that Concubine Xi didn't let him go out, the fuss was even worse, he shook off Concubine Xi's hand and shouted: "Mother is really bad, does my mother only love her younger brother, and she will only discipline me when she comes to me." Tell me to learn this, never treat me like a brother, and speak to me seriously and indifferently, am I your child or not! ”
"You ......" actually said such words from Gongzi Jian's mouth. It's really called Xi Fei's anger, she doesn't know how much she has worked hard for her in the past three years, almost all her thoughts are on him, and the strict requirements are also to let him exercise his heart and make him a hero like his father, so that this great Chu's hegemony will not be ruined in her hands. A hundred years later, she asked her to show Xiong Zhen what face, but she never thought that Jian'er would waste her hard work in vain, which really made her feel cold.
And Xiong Jian saw that Xi Concubine couldn't speak, but thought that he had guessed correctly, and continued: "I know that my mother is definitely biased towards my younger brother. My mother definitely doesn't want me to be the king, she wants my brother to do it, right? My mother didn't have real power when she gave birth to me, and she only began to take power when she gave birth to her younger brother, according to my big Chu's algorithm, my younger brother is the real son of the world, and he is the king of Chu, does my mother want to take this position back? ”
Xi Fei 'snapped', and went up with a slap, her face was really angry, and she roared: "Presumptuous, who taught you this, you are the dignified king of Chu State, and you actually said such unbearable words in your mouth, your uncle Wang taught you a lot of things!" Then he commanded the maidservant beside him: "Take the king down, no one is allowed to let him out without the order of the widow, otherwise he will be punished!" Go and find Ling Yin to the widow! ”
Xi Fei was very angry by Xiong Jian's experience, and her head was still aching faintly after she went back. Ziyuan came to Xi Fei's side as ordered, and looked at Xi Fei who was lying down inside through a veil, and her spirit was very bad. He also heard about the disobedience of the young man in the day, and he was also a little worried about Xi Fei, and there was no one in private, so Ziyuan opened his mouth and said with concern: "Yao'er, how are you?" ”
Xi Fei snorted coldly: "Isn't this caused by you, you really educated Jian'er very well, you don't look like a king at all, what do you want?" ”
"I want you!" Ziyuan finally said what he thought in his heart at this moment, and he no longer shied away.
Xi Fei sighed lightly and said slowly: "Hey, it is absolutely impossible for us, not to mention that I am your sister-in-law now, even if I am still Taoyi, I will not like you!" ”
"Why!" Ziyuan was full of unwillingness, and roared: "Obviously, I was the first to meet you, why can Xihou have you, Brother Wang can get you, but I have no chance?" Back then, the night was like water, you and I played the piano ensemble under the moon, aren't you very like a fairy couple, why are you so ruthless to me alone? ”
Xi Fei sighed lightly, she knew that Ziyuan's heart knot was not so easy to unravel, "Ziyuan, I have feelings for you, but I am just a bosom friend in the piano art, there is no **** meaning, why do you hold on?" ”
Ziyuan laughed miserably: "I won't give up easily, how long did it take my brother to resolve the hatred of him in your heart, I am better than him, at least you have no hatred for me in your heart, I will make you fall in love with me, one day it will!" ”
didn't have time to wait for Xi Fei's words to speak, Ziyuan left, Xi Fei looked at Ziyuan's departure, and said slowly: "Why is there one more infatuated man in the world, why hurt yourself?" ”
After Ziyuan left. Xi Fei looked around this room, as if she could still feel the breath of the bear in this room, and she did not disperse for three years, and occasionally saw each other in her dreams. After waking up, it was just a flower, so I had to lament: "The king ......"
That man is her past life, this man is her present life, she relies on memories to wander in her past life and this life, so she spends the lonely day. She had nothing else to think about. Her heart has been closed, and she just wants to take these two children well and stay until the soul returns to the earth after a hundred years, and goes to see him.
But Heaven still didn't give her peace.
Xiong Jian and Xiong Yun, how cute these two children used to be, once became her invisible support, but as they grew older, the spear between them became more and more serious.
Jian'er became the monarch, but Yun'er was not convinced, and secretly competed with her brother. It's simple-minded. He has a violent temperament and a narrow heart, and the most important thing is that he doesn't do his job, and he only thinks about playing all day. This child's character is indeed very unsuitable to be a monarch, but he is the boss, and the boss succeeds to the throne, which is justified. Yun'er is gifted and intelligent, and Ziwen has been teaching since he was a child, and his intelligence is far superior to that of Jian'er, but after all, he is still smaller. It's the second child again. No matter how qualified you are, it's all fate. If it is fate, you have to admit it.
But Yun'er, this kid is evil, and he is competitive. I don't accept my fate. What did he secretly want to do, could she not know? She's worried about it! But Jian'er has Ziyuan by her side, and the basic danger is not worrying, but there are always times when she is negligent, and Ziyuan is not a good type, so she may do something to Yun'er. Both of these children are in danger and don't know it.
Finally, two years later, in the fifth year of Jian'er's reign, cholera finally occurred.
Xiong Yun is always as calm and serious as Xiong Yun in front of outsiders, but when he returns to Xi Yan's side, he will still show the innocence and liveliness that he should have at that age, which is also the same as Xiong Yun, always Xi Yan is cold to him, and Xiong Yun will still change the formula to make her happy.
Yun'er snuggled in Xifei's arms, smiled innocently, and said happily: "Yun'er likes to be with her mother the most, and she likes her mother to hold me like this." ”
Xi Fei smiled: "Yun'er is already ten years old, in a few years, my mother won't be able to hold you like this, I'm not afraid of other people's jokes when I say it!" ”
Yun'er buried her face in Xi Fei's chest, and said rubbingly: "Mother, Yun'er really wants to protect you forever and prevent you from being bullied by anyone, but helplessly, Yun'er is just a concubine, not the king of Chu!" ”
Xi Fei was shocked in her heart, and the hand holding Xiong Yun was also shaking, she obviously heard the unwillingness and resentment in Xiong Yun's tone, this son of hers has inherited the ambition and resourcefulness of his father's generation very well, if he really seizes power, Jian'er will definitely not be his opponent, but he can lead the Chu State to glory. Such a choice was handed over to Xi Fei in front of her, making her hesitate, even one of them was her son, the palms and backs of her hands were full of meat, and it was painful to choose. She had no choice but to sigh.
Finally, not long after, Yun'er couldn't help it, killed his royal brother with a sharp blade, and sat on the throne of this great king, known as King Chu Cheng in history, and was very famous among the princes of the Spring and Autumn Period.
Xi Fei sat in front of the bronze mirror, washing her face with tears, her son killed each other, this is a failure of motherhood. Even if Xiong Yun didn't do it directly, all of this was something she knew, and Xi Fei's heart was like a mirror, and there was nothing she didn't know. But it's better not to know! If you don't know it, your heart doesn't hurt, and if you know it, you have to live and suffer. She would rather pretend to be confused, close the door day and night, and spend her days in the shadows.
Suddenly, I heard the maid at the door say respectfully: "See the king!" Xiong Yun motioned for her to go down, leaving her alone with Xi Fei.
Xi Fei didn't say a word for a long time, but Xiong Yun couldn't help it, and said: "Mother, it's the son's fault, you beat me, scold me, don't ignore me anymore." ”
Xi Fei slowly turned around, glanced at Xiong Yun coldly, and said, "Kneel!" Xiong Yun didn't resist, and knelt down in front of Xi Fei very obediently, asking for forgiveness.
Xi Fei looked at him like this, and said coldly: "I want you to kneel, not to me, but to your brother Wang, I don't want to investigate whether your brother's death was an accident or not, but he is your brother, you should kneel him." ”
Xiong Yun was not angry, he still knelt like that, and said lightly: "Mother can't forgive her son, right?" Brother Wang was indeed killed by his son, this fact is not denied by his son, but the fools in the world can't see it, can't even his mother see it, where does Brother Wang have the qualifications to sit on the throne, my Great Chu has always respected the capable, I am more capable than Brother Wang, why can't I be the king of Chu. Didn't my ancestors kill their brothers and seize the throne at the beginning, why can't I follow suit? ”
This son of his is only ten years old, and his mind is already calm in all aspects, compared to his brother, he is really very good, but how can he do this, it is his royal brother......
"If Brother Wang didn't want to get rid of me, why did I make such a decision, the rumors in the palace are true, according to the Dachu legal system, I should be the son of the world, and this throne is mine, in other words, I just take back what belongs to me!"
Xi Fei was angry, not angry that Xiong Yun killed his royal brother, but angry that his ambition could be so strong, and sooner or later it would hurt him, so he stepped forward and slapped it, holding his own tears, and Xiong Yun's cheeks were red marks at that time, but he endured it, and he didn't cry, not even crying out in pain.
A child who is only ten years old has such patience, and all this is destined for him to be extraordinary. With tears in her eyes, Xi Fei knelt in front of Xiong Yun, stretched out her hand to hug him, and cried: "Yun'er ......"
"Mother, please rest assured, I will definitely become a king like my father, who will stand up to the heavens and the earth, and rise with the prosperity of Great Chu." This is not only a promise to Xi Fei, but also a belief in oneself.
Xi Fei said in her heart: King, is the concubine's decision right, why are they all brothers, and they have to make trouble to this point!
Xiong Yun was recognized by Concubine Xi, and his seat was more stable, and none of the ministers dared to dispute it anymore. The first thing Xiong Yun did when he came to power was to cut off half of Ziyuan's military power and abolish Ling Yin's position. He was originally Xiong Jian's master, and now that Xiong Jian has stepped down, he is not allowed to hold a grudge against himself, Xiong Jian's lack of wisdom and strategy can become his puppet, but Xiong Yun will not, Ziyuan can't guess it, staying by his side is a threat, or the farther away the better.
Xiong Yun became the king of Chu, but he was still young, so he still consulted Xi Fei before making a decision, acting carefully, and being careful everywhere, Xi Fei was very satisfied in her eyes. (To be continued.) )
