Ten miles outside Sanshui County, there is a pavilion used by passers-by to rest, there are a lot of people on weekdays, but today it is empty. There were nearby farmers who came to sell tea and earn pocket money by the side of the pavilion, but the man who sold tea today also shuddered and curled up to the side, looking at the man in black who was pouring himself a drink in the pavilion with a frightened look.

The man was very young, sitting with his back to the official road, wearing a black satin robe with a simple but exquisite cut, and his long hair was only a white hosta, and he couldn't tell which was brighter, black hair, or black satin, and which was more slender, the hosta and his fingers.

In the pavilion, there are several people standing tall and low, holding arms, leaning against the pillar, looking up at the road, with different postures, but they are all sighing.

"Your Excellency." A man frowned, and said with a disapproving expression, "You have obviously found Your Majesty, why do you have to give up, avoid Sanshui County, and give way to Gong Yin?" ”

The man in black didn't answer, his fingers flicked on the edge of the bowl, jingling, the bowl was the usual coarse porcelain bowl for tea in the gazebo, and there was a gap on the edge of the bowl, this man was noble, but he didn't care about drinking water from this bowl.

The other person snorted coldly, "Your Excellency didn't make way for Gong Yin, how old is Gong Yin?" ”

The man in black smiled, and his fingers flicked the bowl in a clear voice, not slow, and there was no change.

"I really don't know what he's here for?" Someone said angrily, "He is in charge of the palace alone, controlling the government, it is not enough to squeeze the lord, even go abroad to welcome the master, what do you have to do?" Isn't he afraid that once he leaves the Great Wilderness, the six countries and eight ministries will take the opportunity to make trouble? ”

"It's better to make a mess!" One person laughed, "Gong Yin's power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, and even the succession to the throne is up to him, if it goes on like this, it won't be long before he sits in that position and becomes the first male emperor in my dynasty." I have blessed the Holy Taizu for the first time, the Great Wilderness generation can not be a man as the emperor, he dared to spy on the great treasure, but it was his own destruction! ”

"Emperor Taizu is proficient in the art of astrolabe calculation, and once said that the Great Wilderness Female Emperor Dynasty has had a shocking turn since the one hundred and eighth generation, and the world is prosperous if it is followed, and the great wilderness is lost by the adversary, and now it is not the one hundred and eighth generation? Could it be that Emperor Taizu's prophecy is that Gong Yin will replace the female emperor tradition of the Great Wilderness and become the first male emperor of the Great Wilderness? ”

Where does his ambition stop? He also wants to centralize power and unify the wilderness. At present, the Great Wilderness Dynasty can only rule the land of Emperor Song City and its surrounding three provinces and twelve counties. The remaining six feudal states and eight departments are all vassal states that were divided into feudal states by Emperor Taizu, enjoying exclusive autonomy and developing from generation to generation, and have long become a country within a country. But since Gong Yin took power and forcibly summoned the six princes to live as protons in Emperor Ge, the attitude of the six countries and the eight departments has become delicate. ”

"Speaking of the proton incident, I really don't understand, what means did Gong Yin use to make the Eight Ministries of the Six Kingdoms obediently send his son as a hostage? It's incredible! ”

"It's incredible, not just this? He ordered the re-measurement of the land of the whole country, formulated commercial laws, opened up many trade bans, exercised commercial control over the six countries, and at the same time merged vertically and horizontally, dividing the relations between the countries, so that several weaker subject states had to cling to him tightly, and seeing that his power was getting stronger and stronger, at this time a queen of destiny emerged......"

There was a "ding", and the sound of the black-clothed man's fingers tapping was slightly crisp, and everyone immediately shut up.

The pavilion was silent, the sound of breathing seemed a little depressed, and the man who was waiting for tea wanted to leave but didn't dare to go, listening to those rebellious words, his intuition was not good, and he couldn't wait to cover his ears.

After a long while, someone muttered in a low voice: "The dynasty's control over the six countries is weakening, but the six countries are taboo about the eight departments around them, and the eight departments are now being squeezed by the six countries to live a sad life, aren't they also asking for help from our adults?" Look, sir......"

Everyone was silent again, the great wilderness land is vast, but the geographical distribution of the whole country is very peculiar. The innermost part is the royal city and the provinces and counties within the influence of the royal city, the six kingdoms surround the royal city, but the eight parts surround the six countries, and the outermost part is a variety of natural swamps, isolating the mainland countries. The whole wilderness is like a huge mille-feuille, exuding all kinds of mysterious smells in corners that the world cannot reach.

This kind of pattern, if the rest of the continent is not possible, and the royal city is surrounded by powerful vassal states in the center, is it not the end of the collapse in minutes? However, the Great Wilderness has its own special features, the outermost eight departments, and the lords of the six countries have many feuds, if the six countries want to attack the royal city, they must be bitten by the eight departments, and when the time comes, the six countries will face the enemy before and after, and they are doomed to a tragic end.

However, the Eight Divisions cannot attack the Six Nations without authorization, because the Eight Divisions also have various contradictions with each other, and once one of them goes to war, they must be wary of whether the other tribes on both sides will take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, and there is no way out, because there is a swamp behind it.

Therefore, over the years, the relationship between the dynasty and the six countries, and between the six countries and the eight tribes, has become more and more complicated, the interests have become more and more closely entangled, the stalemate has existed, and the exchanges have been balanced, and a situation has truly been formed, where everyone wants to move, and no one dares to move first.

Every time they talk about such a chaotic situation, everyone has a headache and at the same time, they can't help but marvel at the wisdom and hard work of Emperor Taizu. Such a national pattern is related to the special circumstances of the founding of the Great Wilderness at the beginning, but the former Emperor Taizu formed such a pattern of mutual containment in such a disadvantage, and has maintained it steadily for hundreds of years.

Thinking of Emperor Xian Taizu, everyone couldn't help but think of Emperor Xian Taizu and the generational entanglement with the Yelu family, and couldn't help but keep their mouths shut.

While thinking about the monopoly of the right national teacher Gong Yin, and the intention to subdue the six countries and deter the ambition of the eight divisions, people also thought that the left national teacher Yeluqi was unwilling to let the family gradually decline, and also traveled among the six countries and eight divisions to form an alliance to resist Gong Yin's encroachment on the imperial power. The most direct conflict between the two at present is focused on their attitude towards the empress - Gong Yin's reluctance to welcome the queen led to his wishful thinking, but Yeluqi and the forces behind him insisted on welcoming the queen, delaying time and disrupting Gong Yin's plan.

So the unlucky queen, unconsciously, became a piece of stuffing that didn't know whether it was fragrant or smelly, hoping that when the fight was over, she would still have some scum left......

Everyone was silent, but Yeluqi seemed to be a little more interested in talking, and tapped his fingers on the edge of the bowl, and drank the bitter tea in one gulp.

The tea was poor, and the tea was unclean and oily, far less than the worst tea he usually used, but he drank it very smoothly, and he did not even frown.

Eat delicacies, but also taste grassroots, the world of the superior, regardless of the small things in the world.

He put down the tea bowl and asked with a smile, "They're already gone?" ”

"Yes." Someone replied, "Gong Yin has already taken them out of Sanshui." ”

Yeluqi nodded and said with a smile: "Since Gong Yin came to pick up the queen in person, let him pick it up." I'll wait until I get back home. ”

"Your Excellency!"

Yeluqi's palm was raised, and everyone was immediately silenced.

"What's it called? Feel very aggrieved and faceless? Yeluqi smiled amiably, "I'll go back first, and along the way, I can open the way for the palace master and Her Majesty the Queen." Of course, when we return to the country first, we naturally have to convey the news that we have found the queen to the whole country, so that the ministers should prepare in advance and welcome Your Majesty from a distance of 100 miles. ”

The crowd was enlightened.

"Dayan is an enemy country, all the way thousands of miles, wind and frost sword." Yeluqi sighed, looking worried, "I don't know if the national teacher can accompany His Majesty smoothly and return to China." It's really unsettling. ”

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Thousands of miles away, surrounded by enemies, the national teacher returned to China with His Majesty, if there was any accident along the way, wouldn't it be a big sin for the national teacher? And the master rushed back to China first, and while Gong Yin was not there, he could also make some arrangements......

Seeing the master's unfathomable smile, some people remembered the letter that the master received a few days ago, perhaps, on the way of the palace country, he has been "taken care of" and it is not known.

"What's more, when the first queen was alive......" someone laughed darkly.

Everyone immediately understood, and the corners of their lips pulled up, and they made a sound.

The first queen died violently, and after her death, she was also burdened with the name of unchastity, and there were some unbearable rumors circulating inside and outside the court, which smeared the unlucky woman's aftermath with a pink and dark color. At this moment, the rumors have not been dispelled, the new queen has appeared, although the new queen is another person, but in the minds of the people of the Great Wilderness who believe in the theory of reincarnation, the new queen is the reincarnation of the predecessor, and naturally even the old things and reputation and character of the predecessor are inherited. The former queen is also the only one of the queens of all generations who died violently for the crime of filth, in this case, those old antiques who obey the rules like orders, as well as the enemies of the previous queen, can imagine what they will do......

"But my lord," asked one of the bewildered ......, "don't you advocate the establishment of a queen?" Wouldn't it be ...... if something happened to the Queen?"

Yeluqi glanced at him with a smile, his expression was really amiable, but the person who asked the question couldn't help but shudder, and he only felt uneasy in his ignorance.

The rest sighed.

This newcomer, in the future, will never have a chance to soar.

The emperor can have it at any time, but the opportunity to make Gong Yin, the right national teacher, convicted at any time. Gong Yin is powerful and cautious, he has not taken a step in Yuzhao Palace for many years, it is more difficult to find his omissions than to ascend to the sky, it is easy for him to go out of the palace or even out of the country, who wants to let go of this opportunity, he is not worthy of living in the great wilderness.

Therefore, when the lord heard that Gong Yin was coming, he immediately avoided it, which was also a plan for the future and cleared the suspicion.

Yeluqi flicked his fingers, put down the tea bowl, and got up to leave.

"Remember, there is never a goal that needs to be absolutely adhered to before the interests and the big picture."

His black clothes fluttered, like a dark shadow of the sky after dusk, and he slid out silently, from beginning to end, without looking at the tea man.

The people bowed down and departed.

The man who had been waiting for tea in fear waited for a long time before he slipped into the pavilion and saw a hundred taels of silver on the side of the tea bowl, blue and white with frost, and the color was good, so he couldn't help but smile and squint.

It's just a bowl of tea, these guests are so generous, but the content they discussed is too shocking, do you want to take the time to talk to the pavilion chief......

While thinking, the man put away the silver, and put away the tea bowl with his hand, and when his fingers touched the tea bowl, he suddenly sighed.

At some point, countless radioactive cracks appeared on the tea bowl.

It must have been caused by the finger tapping of the man in black just now, and the strange thing is that there are many cracks like this, and it should have been broken a long time ago, but the bowl is still intact, and the remaining tea in it does not leak a drop.

The tea man was curious to touch it.

With a "click", the tea bowl cracked, and a piece of porcelain stained with tea shot out at the bottom, and with a "click" sound, it shot into the throat of the tea man.

The tea man poured backwards, and before the blood flowed out, it was blocked by the porcelain, only on the edge of the porcelain, leaking out the blood stains that slowly turned black.

The first killer is afraid that he will not succeed, and the second one, the last drop of tea, is poisoned.

The tea man fell quietly to the ground, and ten taels of silver fell to him.

The beech coffin is five taels of silver, the mourning clothes and funeral rites are three taels of silver, and someone is invited to dig two taels.

Add it up, just ten taels of silver.
