The people who knelt beside the road became more respectful, until Huang Luogai was far away, and after kowtowing, they supported each other. The little girl who was hugged by Cui Keyin was quickly watched, and everyone asked her all kinds of questions related to Cui Keyin, such as "Is the queen mother very good-looking?" ", such as "You really let the queen mother?" ”

Cui Keyin asked Lu Ying to give her a few pieces of rose cake, but the little girl was precocious and reluctant to eat it, so she kept holding it tightly in her arms.

The little girl looked at the countless faces shaking in front of her with wide eyes, and finally said loudly: "The queen mother is so beautiful!" ”

The crowd was satisfied. Although I know that the queen must be beautiful and beautiful, some witnesses have confirmed that it is still very different. Next, what the people talk about the most is not what will happen to King Chu's heinous crimes, nor when will the warehouse be opened to release grain, so that everyone can have a full meal, but what the queen looks like and how beautiful she is. I have to say that the enthusiasm of the people is immeasurable. Because the queen's mother's various different looks are freshly baked, some swear that they have seen it with their own eyes, and they look like Guanyin, some say they look like the Seven Fairies, some say they look like Xi Shi, and so on.

Fortunately, Cui Keyin didn't hear these rumors, otherwise she would have laughed.

After pacifying the people, the two inspected Yiyang City by the way, and then returned to the camp.

The courtiers still couldn't discuss how to deal with Zhou Kang and came up with a result, and finally Zhou Heng became impatient, saying that Wenzong told him in a dream last night that he missed Zhou Kang and asked him to send Zhou Kang over.

The civil officials immediately shut up, the emperor's meaning was so obvious. How could they not understand? Tang Tianzheng first went out to echo it, and then the ministers seconded it, and Zhou Kang's matter was decided. However, he was escorted back to the capital and beheaded on the spot in Yiyang, and the ministers had a small dispute.

Cui Keyin heard that Zhou Heng was talking about Wenzong, and a sip of tea almost squirted out, and finally swallowed the tea in his mouth, coughed twice, and Zhou Heng helped to stroke his back.

"How can you do that?" Cui Keyin said angrily: "If Emperor Wenzong has a spirit in the sky, I don't know if I will blame you, you will use him as a cover." ”

It's also too much of a bully to the dead.

Zhou Heng sighed: "The second brother can't stay. Even if I don't kill him. Escorted back to the capital under house arrest, if something happens on the way, they will also put the account on my head. It's better to simply kill the chickens and set an example and set the rules. If there is anyone who dares to rebel in the future. All shall be beheaded. ”

Since ancient times, the most taboo thing for emperors is rebellion. As long as there is a rebellion, none of them will end well, and the Moujiu clan is quite light. Extermination is a matter of course. Zhou Kang is Zhou Heng's own brother, it is impossible to punish the nine clans or destroy the clan, at most he will kill him. He has no son, even if he has a son, in order to show leniency, Zhou Heng cannot kill him.

Cui Keyin understands that the "they" referred to by Zhou Heng not only refers to the world's long mouths, but also refers to the pen in the hands of historians, no matter how Zhou Heng hides it, as long as Zhou Kang does not end his life, he will always leave a note in the history books, and later generations will always say that he killed the rebel Zhou Kang for some reason.

Zhou Heng knew this, so he gave a reasonable reason. As for locking up Zhou Kang or cutting him down, it is impossible. No emperor would allow a rebel to live.

The excuse of Wen Zongtuo's dream was that Zhou Heng vaguely expressed his meaning and at the same time found an excuse that the ministers could accept. No matter how much Zhou Kang tosses, in the final analysis, he is still the son of the dragon and the grandson of the phoenix, no matter whether he is dead or alive, the bloodline will not change. In addition to the noble status, the royal family means a lot of privileges, and maybe any brainless courtier will fight Zhou Heng to the death in order to protect Zhou Kang. Under the pretext of Wen Zong's dream, these stubborn old men have nothing to say. If you have the ability, you also let Wenzong give you a dream.

Zhou Heng sighed: "No matter what excuses I make, I always have no face to see my father after I die." ”

Cui Keyin saw that he was a little melancholy, stretched out his hand and pressed it on the back of his hand, and said, "Or Emperor Wenzong is in the spirit of the sky, and he also sees that he has to disdain his descendants and harm the people." ”

"I hope so." Zhou Heng felt a little relieved.

When the two were talking, Tang Tianzheng asked to see him, and said: "The king of Chu went on a hunger strike to see the emperor, and the minister thought that the emperor might as well see him." ”

Zhou Kang was stunned after receiving the news that his father "missed" him and asked him to accompany him, and after coming back to his senses, he immediately asked to see Zhou Heng. No one was willing to report the news of his request to Zhou Heng for him, so he decisively went on a hunger strike. Anyway, they all have to die, and they can still save the whole body if they starve to death.

The people guarding him panicked when they saw that he really refused to move his chopsticks and take a sip of water for two consecutive days. No matter how depressed Zhou Kang is, he is still a prince, and he is still the second son of Wenzong, and if the emperor wants to kill him, he deserves it, and if he really dies in his own hands, he will have to pay for his life. Maybe when the emperor saw him starving to death, he was happy to take the black pot on his back, and the crime of mistreating the prince was lowered, and he died in vain, and he would even affect his wife and children.

Where did the news report to Tang Tianzheng, Tang Tianzheng thought about it, or should he play Zhou Kang's request to Zhou Heng, and Zhou Heng decided. Maybe people want to talk about brotherhood.

Zhou Heng didn't want to see it.

This is actually understandable, in Zhou Heng's view, the moment Zhou Kang issued a document announcing the rebellion in the world, the brotherhood between the two disappeared. Even if the two are still brothers in blood, in his heart, there is no longer this brother.

Rebellion is a road of no return, and those who embark on this road will never turn back. Zhou Heng understood this truth since he was a child, so Emperor An was suspicious of him and let him enter Beijing under house arrest, he didn't say a word, packed up and entered Beijing, and was afraid that someone would plot on the road and die unclear, so he disguised himself many times along the way, and kept one eye open in his sleep. Otherwise, when he met Cui Keyin at Tongzhou Station, how could Cui Keyin not see that he was the King of Jin. His prince's guard of honor had been a day or two slower than him, attracting the attention of the Assassins.

Zhou Kangvain is a few years older than him, but he still hasn't figured out the situation. Even if he loved Zhou Heng and was snubbed when he surrendered, he hadn't guessed Zhou Heng's thoughts, how slow did he have to be? How can such a person succeed in his rebellion?

Cui Keyin saw that Tang Tianzheng had been standing for a long time, but Zhou Heng was still silent, thought about it, and persuaded: "I heard that if a person has a grudge when he dies, he cannot be reincarnated after death. It's nothing if the emperor doesn't see the king of Chu, if he becomes a powerful ghost after his death, wouldn't he be unable to serve Emperor Wenzong under the Yellow Spring? ”

Zhou Heng raised his eyebrows to look at her and said, "So, I should see him?" ”

"Yes." Cui Keyin said: "If you want to say anything to Emperor Wenzong, just ask him to tell him by the way." ”

In the past dynasties, there are many emperors who seek immortality and become immortals, and it is impossible to say that emperors do not believe in ghosts and gods. However, Zhou Heng is now young, so it is naturally impossible to believe this. Although Cui Keyin said it vaguely, Zhou Heng still heard it, before he died, why not fulfill his wish?

Zhou Heng's jaw was headed, and Yin Yin was reasonable. (To be continued.) )
