Chapter 304~305 Ruyi
"Your Majesty, you are only in a bad mood that you will be arrogant. Which Ming Jun will not encounter some setbacks? You stick with it and it will be fine in the future. Huo Jiuwen looked down at the little emperor. The person in front of him is no longer the child who was less than ten years old at the beginning, but now he is a teenager with height and the root of his ear, he gradually grows up, sheds the innocence and youth of the past, gradually becomes mature, and has the ambition and calculation of the emperor. It is only when he is really embarrassed to the extreme that he will show such a sincere affection in front of him.
Huo Jiu had mixed feelings in his heart, he hoped that the child he brought up could be sincere with him, and not hide his thoughts, but he also hoped that he would be able to become a qualified king in the future, if being wary of him could be counted as one of the skills, he should also be gratified.
The little emperor raised his head and looked at Huo Shijiu, he didn't know if it was his mood, he always felt that Huo Shijiu's eyes seemed to be different from before when he looked at him.
"At this time, you are the only one who will make me happy."
"It's not to coax the emperor, that's what the minister really thinks in his heart. Do you know that the first emperor often praised you with his ministers. ”
It was the first time for the little emperor to hear Huo Shijiu mention the first emperor in person, and he couldn't help but say suspiciously: "Father praised me? ”
"Yes. When the first emperor was there, he often talked to his ministers. The emperor only needs to remember that the unfinished things of the former emperor are looking forward to what the emperor can do, and he also believes that the emperor can do it. ”
"You mean...... the little emperor's eyes gradually cleared, and the pain that seemed to be unbearable was alleviated a lot, and then he said: "But my father can't fight him." How can I fight? Now the defense of Kyoto Castle is in his hands. How much power can I really control? Besides, his wolf ambition is not a day or two. If it weren't for him, my father probably wouldn't have died young. ”
"Since the emperor knows, should he avenge his father's revenge? Even if it is not for the hatred of the first emperor, it must be for the Chen family. You are sad, and you can understand it. But the emperor must not lose his fighting spirit, otherwise so many years of forbearance and planning will be in vain. Besides, as long as the emperor can quit the drug. In the future, if you take care of your body, you may not be able to recover as before. ”
The loss and heartache that could not be concealed in the little emperor's expression had already gone for most of it at this time, and he held Huo Shijiu's hand tightly, and nodded heavily: "What Brother Ying said is that if these things can defeat me, what will we do in the future, not to mention that we have been working hard for so long." ”
"Exactly." Huo Shijiu saw that the little emperor finally showed a smile on his face, and his eyes were a lot brighter, and he smiled slightly when he was lonely: "Don't worry, emperor." For a while, the British public lived in a simple house and rarely showed up. Those masters on the rivers and lakes took turns to make trouble in the minister's mansion, and the troublesome ministers were tired of coping, because the strategy we had made before was never carried out, and the concubine just appeared in the teahouse once to let the British public see it. The emperor is relieved, the weather is warm these days, and the British princess will not be bored in the palace all the time, and he can act when the time comes. ”
As soon as he thought of the dangerous move they had set up earlier, the little emperor ignited his fighting spirit. This is already their desperate move, whether it is success or failure.
At this time, the little emperor actually regretted carrying the "seven catties" into the palace, after all, the plan was proposed by Jiang Yuxian, and it was carefully planned and perfected by Huo Shijiu, and then implemented by Jiang Wei. If he wants to defeat the British duke, he will completely rely on their husband and wife, and this son will break up Qijin and his biological mother, and he really can't guarantee that Jiang Wei will not blame him.
But now that the little prince was born prematurely, I don't know what the future will be, if his stubborn illness can't get better for a while, and the little prince dies again, how can he do without an heir. To secure this position, he needs a legacy.
Let Huo Nineteen bring the seven catties back, turn around twice in his mouth, and swallow it again.
"Your Majesty." Jing Tong's voice came from outside the hall at this time.
The little emperor coughed lightly when he heard the voice, precipitated his mood, and asked calmly as usual: "What's the matter?" ”
Jing Tong bent down and moved into the door, bowing even more than before, raising his eyes and glancing at Huo Shijiu quickly, biting his lower lip, his mind was full of thoughts, and he didn't dare to speak in front of him. Instead, he approached the little emperor and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, Lan Niangniang's palace maid found some pickled things." The slaves dare not be casual and sincere, please ask the emperor to decide. ”
"Pickles?" The little emperor muttered in his mouth, because he saw that Jing Tong was secretly carrying Huo Nineteen when he spoke, he knew that there was a problem, and Concubine Lan's matter was related to why Concubine Lan fell down when she got up at night last night, so he said to Huo Nineteen: "Brother Ying sit wide." ”
Huo Nineteen saluted: "Yes, the emperor will go and get busy." ”
The little emperor quickly followed Jing Tong out and went straight to Concubine Lan's palace. Jing Tong's footsteps did not slow down, and led the little emperor to the dormitory, where he saw the palace maids and small chamberlains kneeling all over the ground.
"Your Majesty, please come inside." Jing Tong led the little emperor to the inner hall, and there were only two palace maids in the room who were waiting closely, kneeling like ashes.
"Your Majesty, look." Lifted the Jinpa on the table, but saw a delicate rosewood box was lifted the lid, and two delicate jade potentials were placed in it, although the size was different, but each of them was realistic, sabre-rattling, and hollow, leaving a hole for pouring hot water......
The little emperor's face changed in an instant.
"It's ...... Where did it come from. His voice trembled unconsciously.
Jing Tong shuddered for a moment, and replied in a low voice: "The emperor ordered the minions to track down how Concubine Lan fell, and the minions searched thoroughly, and later found this in Jinxiang." Jinxiang said, saying ......"
Little Emperor Tie Qing's face turned red. He couldn't be humane, so he searched for this pickled thing in Concubine Lan's palace. He also knew that it was difficult to ensure that every palace person in the deep palace was clean, but this object appeared in the Lan Concubine Palace, which had been pregnant for more than six months, and it was said that after six months, the fetus was stable and it was already feasible. He couldn't do it himself. The little emperor didn't want to hear what Jinxiang said, he only felt that those two jade potentials really pierced his heart.
Waving his hand angrily, the wooden box fell to the ground, and the jade couldn't help but bump. and they were broken together.
"The emperor is angry!" Jing Tong knelt down.
The brocade face is like the color of the earth. trembling and kowtowing repeatedly: "That thing really doesn't belong to a slave." It was Concubine Lan who said that she was placed here in the slave maid, and Concubine Lan had not been used for a long time, so the emperor was angry! ”
It's been a long time.
It's what I used to use.
The little emperor only felt that his chest was about to explode, so he picked up the low table on the table and smashed his head on Jinxiang's head.
A few short corners collided with Jinxiang's forehead, making a muffled sound of "bumping", and then the person's eyes fell to the ground.
"Ahh Jin Yu on the side screamed, and his body was wet and cold. I didn't even have the strength to get up and escape.
Then Jing Tong and Jinyu watched the little emperor copy a few hands together, and smashed the meat mud on the head and shoulders of Jinxiang who fell to the ground. And the little emperor's angry roar echoed throughout the dormitory: "Cheap! Cheap|......"
The bloody scenes and muffled roars made the hearts of the frightened people tremble, and their hands and feet were cold. Jing Tong lay on the ground, not daring to raise his head at all, and Jinyu rolled his eyes and fainted.
The little emperor in the rage saw the red and white sprinkled on the ground, and threw the broken ones casually. Remove the soft brocade curtain that hangs on the collection mackerel and wipe your hands.
He got it specially according to Concubine Lan's preferences.
The little emperor had no expression on his face and threw the brocade curtain casually. Said: "All the palace people in Concubine Lan's palace will be killed." His mother's family, the Seven Clans. ”
In the Great Yan Dynasty, the extermination of the seven clans included "four fathers, three mothers": their own clan, married aunts and their sons, married sisters and nephews, married daughters and grandchildren, maternal grandfathers' families, maternal grandmothers' mothers' families, and aunts and aunts' sons.
Concubine Lan did not have a married daughter, so it was equivalent to the destruction of three by the father's family and the three by the mother......
Jing Tong trembled all over his body, and trembled: "Obey the order." ”
And Jinyu, who had just regained a little consciousness, was frightened by the emperor's words and fainted again.
Huo Shijiu waited for a long time and didn't see the little emperor come back, and just as he was about to go to find the little emperor, he heard a faint scream outside.
Quickly walked to the bottom of the corridor and found the source of the sound, but it was in the Lan Concubine Palace!
If it was in the past, Huo Shijiu Xu would have rushed over directly, but today he called the little chamberlain to ask.
After a while, the little chamberlain came back with a face-to-earth face, and his tongue didn't listen to the call when he spoke: "Go back to the Hou Ye, over there, over there, the emperor is punishing a few subordinates who are not doing well." "Then where is the punishment, it is clearly pounding meat sauce!
Huo Shijiu frowned and asked, "But what did you hear?" ”
"No, no, the emperor is angry, where does anyone dare to ask, I just heard that the emperor ordered the destruction of the seven clans of Lord Xu's family."
Exterminate the Seven Clans?!
Isn't Lord Xu's family Concubine Lan's mother's family?
Since the little emperor ascended the throne, where has he ever punished people so heavily! This is clearly the dragon's anger to the extreme.
What the hell is going on!?
Huo Shijiu hesitated for a moment, frowned, and said, "Is the emperor ordering it to be carried out immediately?" ”
"This minion doesn't know." All the meat sauce was hammered out, where did he dare to ask, he only hated himself why he had to take on this errand.
The little emperor is now on an unstable foundation, and although Lord Xu is neutral on the surface, he is actually not in the same stream as the British public, and he is a person of the Qingliu faction. Concubine Lan died after giving birth, and if she didn't say a legitimate reason to destroy the seven clans of the Xu family, wouldn't it chill the heart of the world?
Thinking of this, Huo Shijiu couldn't care about more, and instructed Fang Cai's little chamberlain to guide the way, and went to Concubine Lan's dormitory before her death, Cao Yu pretended to persuade in a low voice: "Master, it's better not to go." ”
"If I can't speak up at this time, what's the difference between me and the English duke?"
Cao Yu was speechless.
What Huo Jiu said was right, but he felt that it was not a good thing to go rashly like this. It's a dilemma.
Approaching the birthplace of the screams step by step, when he really saw what it meant to be a river of blood, Huo Shijiu understood why Fang Cai's little chamberlain would have that kind of face. Because at this moment, even a person like him, who has seen a lot of killing, can't help but feel that the scene in front of him is too difficult to accept.
Bypassing the broken corpses all over the ground, Huo Shijiu walked to the bottom of the corridor and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty." ”
"Brother Ying." The little emperor stood with his hands in his hands, staring at an unknown place with his eyes stunned, not knowing what he was thinking.
Huo Shijiu helped the little emperor into the inner hall, sat down by the window, and gave Jing Tong another look.
Jing Tong immediately understood, and quickly ordered people to dispose of the corpses, and then fetch water to brush the ground.
Huo Shijiu let out a soft voice and asked in a low voice: "The emperor wants to punish the seven clans of the Xu family?" ”
"Hmm."
"Your Majesty. The Xu family was punished by the Seven Clans like this. I'm afraid it's not good for us. Now the emperor can get the support of Qingliu. Qingliu was able to muster up the courage to argue with the British public, precisely because although the emperor made a playful appearance, he never became a faint monarch in the real sense, and did not do anything important to harm the interests of the people and officials. If something happens today, wouldn't the emperor want to think about how Qingliu would react? After all, Lord Xu didn't do anything wrong. ”
When the little emperor heard this, he slowly raised his head, his eyes were cold, and he said slowly: "I do things." I want you to do it too?! ”
Huo Shijiu's heart froze, and he pursed his lips and was silent.
The atmosphere between the two of them was like a frozen pool in winter, as if the air had stopped flowing, and the breath was cold.
The little emperor in anger, if he wants to do something, won't he regret it in the future?
Huo Shijiu lowered his hem and knelt down, his voice was still gentle and elegant: "Your Majesty, the overall situation is important." ”
"The big picture, the big picture, I only care about the big picture. No one has ever cared for me. "The emperor lost his soul, and his voice gradually became sharper." That slut, she's damned, damned! ”
Huo Jiujiu didn't know what was going on, but the emperor was so angry, it meant that Concubine Lan might have done something to touch the emperor's scales.
"Your Majesty, if you endure for a while, you may be able to exchange for the stability of the country. You punished the Xu family like this, even if you arrange a crime of rebellion for them, Qingliu may not believe it. Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and the emperor cannot give people such impulsively. ”
"Enough!"
Huo Shijiu's slow and gentle persuasion was exchanged for a scream from the little emperor: "Bear, endure!" I'm going to endure until I'm a head! That slut, in front of me, bent to greet me, but in fact, she did such things, she clearly looked down on me! As long as I think of her vows, of all her sweet words, and of the friendship in her eyes, I feel stupid like a pig! Where can the extermination of the Seven Clans appease the hatred in my heart? I can't wait for his seven clans to be killed like that just now! ”
The cane just now was clearly beating people into meat sauce, and even the eunuch in charge of the punishment vomited......
Huo Jiu's eyebrows tightened, and he shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, you are calm and calm, it is better to postpone the decision on this matter, you are ...... in anger now"
"Don't persuade anymore!" The little emperor stood up and strode past Huo Shijiu: "Brother Ying, please go back!" ”
"Your Majesty! You have to focus on the big picture and don't act impulsively! ”
"I told you not to persuade you, the Xu family is dead!"
"Think about the current situation, our layout can't withstand any turmoil!"
"Shut up! Get out of the palace! ”
Huo Nineteen was stunned.
After the little emperor finished roaring, he was also stunned, but he didn't feel that he was wrong, he only glanced at Huo Shijiu coldly, and then threw his sleeves and left.
Seeing the back of the little emperor leaving the hall, the sunlight shone in when the chamberlain lifted the soft curtain, projecting the slender figure of the little emperor on the ground, and then the room became dim, only a beam of sunlight through the bright paper, showing the dust in the air.
Huo Jiu slowly relaxed his straight body on his knees, and slowly sat on his calves. The thick eyebrows gradually tightened, and the beautiful eyes were not happy.
After all the good things are said, the little emperor doesn't listen, what should he do?
Can we still overstep our authority?
"Master, let's go home." Cao Yu cautiously whispered, "You have done your best." The emperor is the emperor after all. Although what you said is right, it is for the emperor's good, but if the emperor does not appreciate your intentions, what can you do? You can't persuade the emperor, even the wife and the family don't think about it. ”
"Alright, I know you're worried." Huo Jiu shook his head and stood up: "Did you ask you to persuade me?" ”
Is it so obvious that he did it?
Cao Yu's face was shy, and her delicate face was covered with a layer of crimson.
"Well, I know your concerns. The emperor is determined to refuse to listen to me, and if I say it again, the emperor will do something that he regrets even more when he is angry. In fact, he understands everything, but he can't control himself, and he has to be given time to figure it out. Maybe tomorrow, without my persuasion, the emperor himself will change his mind. ”
"What the master said is, hasn't the emperor had such a time before. Shall we go back to our house? ”
"No, I'm going to see 'Seven Pounds' first." Huo Shijiu was a little worried about the child, even if he was not his own, outsiders would look at the magnificence of the palace. I thought the child was in the palace. It's just falling into a blessed nest. But if the palace was really that good, why did the little emperor still live in another courtyard back then? It's a little life, after all. In the cold palace, he was really worried that he would not have a good life.
"It's still thoughtful." Cao Yu was thinking about something else. If Huo Shijiu didn't come to the palace to see his "son", it would make people suspicious.

In the study in the outer courtyard of the British Mansion, the British Duke held a small comb of rhino horn and carefully combed his loose beard while listening to the spies' whispered reply.
Hearing the end, the British Duke couldn't help but laugh.
Once upon a time, his voice was low. When you laugh, you have a hearty feeling. But now his laughter was so sharp that it made people's scalps tingle.
"Good! That's great! It seems that God also thinks that the Chen family's anger is exhausted, and he can't get used to seeing the old man being trampled on the head by a yellow-haired child. It's nothing to kill a palace person, but it's much more interesting to beat a palace person into meat sauce. If this news spreads together with the news that the seven clans of the Xu family have been wiped out, will Kyoto City still be lively? ”
"What Grandpa Guo said is very true." The spy whispered flattery.
The British public waved his hand in a good mood to signal the spies to step back, picked up the mirror to take a look, and then fastened the mirror on the wooden black lacquered ebony table, and muttered for a moment to call someone to come. “…… What to do if you keep an eye on the movement outside. You know. ”
"Yes." The subordinate bowed and retreated.
The more he thought about it, the more comfortable he felt.
Without waiting for him to be that stupid, he would do something to destroy the Great Wall first, and he didn't believe that Huo Nineteen's fox would not be dissuaded? Maybe he has been dissuaded, but the little emperor doesn't listen, right?
In this way, the relationship between the two of them is not as hard as before. Although Huo Shijiu is towards the emperor, he still has some skills in the end.
There is a premature prince, and the seven clans of the prince's mother family, once it is achieved, I am afraid that he does not need to do more incitement, and that little miscellaneous hair has already rolled off the dragon chair by himself.
As for the surname Huo, the "momentum" outside is sufficient, and there are many people in the rivers and lakes who are not used to him, as long as he sees the right time to take the person, how to clean it up, don't you listen to his words.
Thinking of this, the British public was in a happy mood and hummed a little tune.

The next day, the Xu family was raided, all the property was confiscated, the executioner's hands were sore and the head was chopped off, at first it was okay, it was basically a knife and a human head, but later, the knife was blunt, the blade was curled, and two or three knives could chop off the head, not to mention the pain of the tortured person, and the relatives who knelt on the side and waited for death saw the tragic situation of the living person's neck being half-pulled and chopped by a knife, where could it still stand it?
Its miserable chaos and the ugliness of human nature are all unreservedly revealed.
The blood star qi seemed to permeate the sky over Kyoto City, and the wind could not disperse. The heavy rain did not disperse.
Huo Shijiu didn't go to court, didn't enter the palace, didn't go to see the little emperor, only studied at home, or his parents laughed and talked in front of him, and then he went to the martial arts arena to watch Jiang Yu practice, and he didn't show up for more than ten days.
Jiang Yule's Huo Jiujiu can be so "ruthless", and it is indeed novel that they can be so inseparable, and they have been in a relaxed mood for a few days.
In addition, he received a handwritten letter from Yang Xi, saying that Tang Xiao and Tang Gongzi had officially asked his grandfather at home for family affairs, and he was waiting for his grandfather's reply to go to the Ye family to propose marriage. Jiang Yan's mood became more and more happy.
"I didn't expect Tang Gongzi to be resolute, although I felt that he was no different from the angel sister, but I didn't dare to conclude that he must have a temperament. Now it seems that I am thinking too much. ”
Huo Jiuwaner: "Your good sister has a good home, aren't you happy?" ”
"It's fun." Jiang Yu picked up the colorful teapot, and the amber tea soup was slowly poured into the teacup in front of Huo Shijiu, "Now it's the matter of Kite and Miss Yang." ”
"You have too much to worry about, your own sister doesn't talk to you when she comes in and avoids you, you don't want to think about how to coax Sister Jiao'er, to see if there is any misunderstanding that can be explained, but you think of these."
"I'm not only worried about these, but also about the sixth year of junior high school, as well as my second brother, the ice pine and listening to the rain around me." Jiang Yu pulled her fingers and calculated, these "idle things" really can't be managed. ”
"Speaking of the second uncle." Huo Jiujiu sat up straight and said, "My people came to the news, saying that he was on the way to oppose Beijing. ”
"Really?" Jiang Yu said in surprise: "Then I will hurry up and tell my mother, you don't know how much she misses her second brother." If you know that he is coming back, you will not be happy to kowtow to the Bodhisattva. ”
Huo Jiu smiled and said: "Go, my people are secretly following and protecting, that is, these two days." (To be continued......)
