Chapter Twenty-Four: Life is like a play, and it all depends on acting skills
"The most hateful thing is that Xiong Xingyi, who actually asked me to reactivate the Huo Family Army!" The more Xiao Zuo spoke, the more angry he became, and he hated Hong Changzhi and kicked him apart, "He claims to be a direct minister, if he doesn't rebel, I can't move him yet!" β
But at that time in the court, Xiong Xingyi said such a thing, but there was silence below, and no one stood up to oppose or refute it. Could it be that all his subordinates think so?
In order to be able to peacefully and smoothly reduce the feudal domain, solve the dispersion of royal power, and eliminate the small imperial courts on the border with troops and self-respect, how many scheming and means did he take. For this reason, he did not hesitate to destroy Huo Honglian, the woman he admired very much. did not hesitate to accept Xiao Yu's little fox's coercion and sealed him as the successor to the title of King of Linshan. Even if that kid was reduced to the king of the county according to the rules, the rich minerals of Linshan County were also in his hands.
"Cut, it's not that the old slave is talkative, the Huo family army was majestic back then, but now it has become a plate of loose sand, what kind of climate can it become!" Hong Tianqi still cooperated with a very angry look, "These so-called direct ministers rely on the old and sell the old, and they always miss those old things, it's really annoying!" That is, the emperor has a generous heart, and if it were another monarch, he would have let him go home and sleep in the coffin! Ahhhh......h The old slave should be punished, and in this big year, it is said that this is unlucky. As he spoke, he slapped his mouth anyway. Of course, gently.
Xiao Zuo's heart moved.
Yes, the Huo family army has been annihilated, what does he still mind? No matter how unwilling he was, he had to admit that although Huo Jiajun was not so obedient to the discipline of the imperial court back then, it was a deterrent to the Tatars in the northwest. Now he is not afraid that the group of barbarians will disguise themselves as bandits and rob the border people, but they are just the lives and property of the grass people. What he was afraid of was the idea of Arutai to hit Yanchi Mountain!
The rumors of the son of ten kings were a thorn in his heart. In case of...... Is it true?
Thinking of this, an inexplicable uneasiness suddenly rose in his chest. In his irritation, he walked away from the imperial study. Seeing this, Hong Changzhi climbed up. Keep up closely.
Because there was no banquet for hundreds of officials, Xiao Zuo simply went to Concubine Cui Shu's Jinyun Palace. Young couples still really like them, and their love is incomparable and incomprehensible to others. Since bringing her back from the royal palace outside the city, the two have regained their former kindness. Cui Shufei loves pets, so he spoils her.
After lunch, I was still depressed. As a pillow person for 30 years, Cui Shufei has no reason. She is a person who is powerful and has teeth and claws, and she also likes to inquire about the affairs of the court in front of her. Therefore, he said, "The emperor is worried about the affairs of the northwest? Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, so let's relax our minds and relax this day and a half in the year. β
"Even the harem heard the wind?" Xiao Zuo's face was gloomy.
Concubine Cui Shufei carefully looked at Xiao Zuo's expression and said, "Why is the emperor so worried, it's just a subordinate, and he can't make a big mess." "No matter how ferocious the Tatars are, they can't beat Tokyo.
"A woman's opinion!" Xiao Zuo slapped the table, not moving much. But it also shook the teacups, cups and plates clanging, "Arutai's bastard sound is striking everywhere, his purpose is Yanchi Mountain, which is what Xiao Yu, the tenth king of the year, left behind." β
"It's nothing more than a legendary treasure. The emperor is rich all over the world, does he still care about those? Cui Shufei was dissatisfied with Xiao Zuo's anger at her, and couldn't help but contradict her.
Xiao Zuo sneered, "You only know that Lu Dao is in the palace. But I don't know that those things really exist. Let me tell you, there is no silver in my treasury, if such a large fortune is obtained by the rebels. My dragon position is unstable! Money and food, money and food, if you have money and food, you can afford to fight! Moreover, in the past, I fought for the dragon position, which was fought all the way through the flesh and blood, and how many generals and capable ministers were lost? Do you know how many years it takes to train a courtier who can go into battle and kill the enemy? What do you think I'm tolerating with the constant disturbance of the crumbs? It's not to buy time and make Da Zhao's force stronger, so he can't bear it! β
Concubine Cui Shufei's eyes rolled and said with a smile, "The emperor doesn't have any silver, just find someone with silver to ask for it." People say that the little eleven is rich and rivals the country. Find a reason, cure his crimes, and raid his home, then the gold and silver mountains are not the emperor's? Having said that, the world belongs to the emperor, the people of the world are also the emperor, and the wealth of the world is even more emperor. Little Eleven has been living happily for so many years, but he is still a relative, shouldn't he be worried about the country? β
The most poisonous woman's heart! The first thing that popped up in Xiao Zuo's mind was actually this sentence. However, he had a strange feeling in his heart: sure enough, it was Cui Shufei who was the most like him. When he fell in love with her, it was because she was glamorous and ruthless, and she was inexplicably attractive. The death of her ex-fiancΓ©, General Fu Xiao, was still her implicit suggestion.
"At the beginning, he was the first to cut the domain on behalf of the King of Fan, and I promised him something, but I couldn't take it back. I am the Son of Heaven, how can I do the opposite? Xiao Zuo's voice softened slightly.
"That kid may not be as obedient as he looks." Cui Shufei snorted, "Back then, he was the youngest son who was the most unpopular in the Linshan Palace. It is said that the king of Linshan longed for him to die. But how could such a big thing happen, the king of Linshan and a dozen sons died overnight, and he was the only one left? If this matter has nothing to do with him, the concubine will not believe it! β
"I don't believe it either." Xiao Zuo nodded, "But I don't care if that kid really only loves gold and silver beauty, but in the end, he knows the opportunity and takes the initiative to go to the capital as a hostage." For more than ten years, he has been under my nose every day, being watched day and night, if he can still turn over tricks, he will really see the hell! If he can hide from the world, I will not be wronged on him for my bad luck. Don't you believe in my secret guards? β
What is a prophecy? What is Chrysostom Yuyan? Xiao Zuo didn't know what to say, at this moment he was like a god possessed by a spirit, and he made the best prophecy. Therefore, life is like a play, and it all depends on acting skills. Xiao Shiyi can still secretly play such a big game of chess under the watchful eye of strong enemies, isn't he super stoic in mind, not particularly smart in his brain, not extremely superb in acting, what is it?
"It's not the time yet." In the end, I couldn't help it, and I wanted to confide in the person next to me, "Now I am in a hurry, and all kinds of news outside are boiling in the sky, and I can't suppress it, and I can't stop the incident." Wait until you really need it...... I said that what was going on in the bloody case of Linshan Palace back then, it must be like that. Little Eleven killed his father and seized the throne, which is a big sin. At that time, if I bought my life with money, I would tolerate him, and in the end I avenged my brother who was the king of Linshan, and left a trace of blood. β
Concubine Cui Shu was stunned, and Huer understood what Xiao Zuo meant, and couldn't help but wink. "The concubine has transgressed, so it is logical, and the teacher is famous. Stocking Xiao Eleven is like raising a piglet, and only when you get fat will you kill it to have meat. Sure enough, the emperor is the smartest. "Nearly half a hundred women, but still gorgeous and charming.
Xiao Zuo saw it in his eyes, his heart was fluttering, and he stretched out his arm to grab Concubine Cui and let her sit on his lap. Laughed in a low voice.
When Xiao Zuo came to Jinyun Palace, Concubine Cui always asked everyone to go down, and she waited for her personally. So in this palace, there are only the two of them, and they have no scruples when they speak. But they forgot that Hong Changzhi was still standing outside the door. However, the old eunuch lowered his head and remained motionless, as if nothing had caught his ears. It's like the vermilion pillar under the eaves of the palace. Only occasionally, Hong Changzhi looked up at the sky, and saw that the snow that seemed to be falling non-stop was falling again, and his eyes couldn't help but flash.
And inside the temple. The scenery is beautiful for a while. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, because Xiao Zuo mentioned that Xiong Xingyi wanted to recover the Huo family's army.
When Concubine Cui heard this, she raised her eyebrows and said, "The emperor should have killed that old guy, and the Huo family army finally disappeared." Do you want to raise trees again and raise tigers for trouble? β
Xiao Zuo doesn't like to hear this. It seems to imply that he is still in decline, and it is extremely difficult for the king of Fan, who is only a girl in charge. Therefore, he said, "You also know that the Huo family army has died, and the backbone of the whole army has been scattered to all parts of the military department, and it is absolutely not reused, and the small soldiers and young generals have all been disarmed and returned to the field." In this world, there is no Huo Jiajun anymore. Moreover, they were formed in the way that the retainers were loyal to the head of the family, and now that the red lotus is gone, who can afford to pull this banner? β
And the word "Red Lotus" pierced Cui Shufei's most sensitive nerves, not to mention that Xiao Zuo removed his surname when he called this name, so he seemed extremely close. She knew that the emperor was sincere to Huo Honglian. That woman is rare in the world, and there is no second, no wonder the more powerful the man, the more fascinated he is with her. She was also jealous and hated that Huo Honglian never wanted to please others, but let the high-ranking man never forget her. It's a pity that compared with Jiangshan Sheji, women are never enough weight, so they are sacrificed. However, she can tolerate the emperor choosing a younger and more beautiful concubine, anyway, it is just a plaything, but she can't tolerate the emperor to remember others in his heart!
"What the emperor said!" Concubine Cui Shufei stood up from Xiao Zuo's arms and said with a cold face, "It seems that I care about Mrs. Ning Anhou sooner or later." She's just a woman, she's dead, even if she borrows a corpse to resurrect her soul, she doesn't have that much ability! β
Xiao Zuo became angry when he heard it, especially the name of Mrs. Ning Anhou, which made him even more popular. Just now, the mood that had finally been comfortable for a moment was completely ruined, and he was so angry that he stood up, "Unreasonable! He really had nothing to say, so he dropped these four words and left suddenly.
Cui Shufei was stubborn and didn't stop her. Both of them turned their faces when they said that they would turn their faces, and the rapid change in their emotions was incredible.
"Relying on the holy grace, you dare to show your face to me, it's so hateful!" Walking outside the Golden Cloud Palace, Xiao Zuo was still angry.
Hong Changzhi didn't dare to answer, only after Xiao Zuo strode away, he looked in the direction of the Moon Shadow Palace, and there seemed to be a deep meaning in his eyes.
The snow was very fine, and the sky was not heavy, but the temperature was lower than usual, so cold that people stood on the ground, as if they were going to be frozen.
But the emperor has a fire in his heart, and he is very disgusted with Cui Shufei's publicity, I'm afraid that he will like a particularly peaceful person these days, right?

Everybody watch the puppet, because it's really not even my mistake. After reading the book, everyone said, I am still a cheerful rhythm, who knows what is sad behind the road. What is the key word in the pot friends? It's actually two letters connected together!
