Xiao Wangyan, Mrs. Mi, who was slightly surprised when she heard the name of the young man surnamed Xiao, said viciously, and the Mi Xiao couldn't help but tremble slightly when she heard it,

This princess was not a good stubble when she was in Chu State.

Everyone in the world said that he was cruel and tyrannical, but compared with the princess in front of him, who had already married a woman, when he was not out of the cabinet, it was a small thing.

Mi Xiao didn't want to make more memories of the past, so he hurriedly asked Xiao Wang: "Lord Xiao, what is the attitude of Xiao Qian and Xiao Kun." ”

Xiao Wang shook his head, thought carefully for a moment, and then sighed again. He had thought of many ways, but he couldn't move those two to support him.

"I'm afraid that the matter of Ziyan sending Quan Yu to intercept and kill Zishuo has made the eldest brother angry, you must know that the eldest brother gave up his public position to the second brother, just to be able to make brothers work together and live in harmony, and now that the eldest brother knows about this, he has lifted his scales, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to get the support of the eldest brother this time."

After hearing this, the three people in the room were silent for a long time, and the three people in the room did not say a word as if they were thinking about it.

After a long time, Xiao Wang told the plan of using the Chu army to attack the city in one fell swoop and forcibly establish Xiao Ziyan that he had discussed with Mrs. Mi, but it was immediately vetoed by Mi Xiao.

Seeing that Xiao Wang and Mrs. Mi were dissatisfied with their rejection, and their faces were meaningful, they could only pretend to be calm in embarrassment, and said with a smile: "

Although Mi guessed that Lord Xiao must have means to keep the forbidden army from participating in this matter, the Chu army's attack on Tokyo was indeed extremely dangerous, and if it was not good, it would be caught by Qin Shu and cause a big war. ”

Mrs. Mi seemed to hear something from Mi Xiao's words, and hurriedly asked: "According to Lord Ling Yin's meaning, there must be a way, dare to ask what your lordship thinks?" ”

Mi Xiao hesitated for a moment in the eager and expectant eyes of the two of them, and then said:

"Lord Xiao just wanted the Chu army to attack the city, the purpose was to kill Xiao Zishuo and establish Ziyan to succeed him, so Mi Mou came up with a plan that could not only kill Xiao Zishuo in one fell swoop, but also block the mouths of the nations, and also make Xiao Qian and Xiao Kun have nothing to say."

The two of them were overjoyed when they heard this, and Xiao Wang hurriedly asked, "There is such a clever plan that Lord Yin is not going to say quickly." ”

Mrs. Mi also looked at Mi Xiao with a happy face.

"It's just that this plan is going to wronged Mrs. Mi."

Mrs. Mi frowned slightly, then stood up and said:

"Since marrying into the Qi Kingdom, has the child suffered less grievances in the past ten years?

As long as Xiao Zishuo can be eliminated and Ziyan can succeed to the throne, a little grievance is nothing. ”

Seeing that Mrs. Mi Xiao said resolutely, she no longer hesitated and told what she had just thought, but as Mi Xiao spoke, she saw that Xiao Wang's face became more and more ugly.

After Mi Xiao finished speaking, Xiao Wang looked up at the expressionless Mrs. Mi and the embarrassed Mi Xiao before he wanted to say something to dissuade him, but saw that Mrs. Mi raised her hand, and at the same time nodded to Mi Xiao, it seemed that he agreed to the plan of the Mi Xiao, so he gritted his teeth and whispered:

"Then let's do what Master Yin said."

After saying that, he said in his heart: "Xiao Zishuo, you are dead, this time see what you can do to break this situation." ”

……

The Qinglong Hall is the center of power of the Qi State, just like the Xuanwu Hall of the Qin State, the White Tiger Hall of the Shu State, and the Vermilion Bird Hall of the Chu State, standing like a totem in the center of the capitals of various countries.

The tall gate and the magnificent pavilion all show the unattainable majesty and solemnity to the passing people.

The Qinglong Palace is not a palace, but the collective name of the entire Qi Gong in each palace, even the largest palace in this palace and the place of discussion are also called the Qinglong Palace, but the world still calls the huge palace composed of red walls and green tiles as the Qinglong Palace.

The Qinglong Hall is located in the middle of this palace in the south position, behind the hall is the main bed of the Duke of Qi's daily review of the chapter to deal with government affairs, and now the coffin of the Duke of Qi is placed, as if to allow the Duke of Qi to relive the years he experienced before passing through the road of his life.

After the main bed, there is Qi Gong's Yan Bed, which is also the residence of Qi Gong's daily rest.

In addition to this, the rest of the palace is the residence of various ladies and sons.

The Eldest Prince's Mansion is directly east of this palace, where there is a side gate for people from the East Palace to enter and exit on weekdays, but the main gate leading to the Qinglong Hall is rarely used.

Xiao Zishuo is already on the tenth day of the wake today, and he has just received a letter from Xiao Jin, which says that Qin Guoyong Shuzhao has talked with Xiao Qian and others about the matter of the prince of Qi State many times, and Xiao Qian's attitude has become clear.

Compared with Xiao Ziyan, who dared to intercept and kill his own brother, Xiao Zishuo is more suitable for succeeding to the throne of the monarch both legally and logically.

Seeing that Xiao Qian's attitude had been decided, Xiao Zishuo's heart was drowsy by the excitement that came from the attack, not to mention that after the past few days of vigilance, Xiao Zishuo really did not rest well, so that he hurriedly read Xiao Jin's repeated admonition to be wary of Mrs. Mi and Gongziyan's counterattack, but he did not take it to heart after reading it.

In his opinion, there is the eldest uncle nodding in agreement, there are nearly 100,000 Qi troops led by Lian Min waving their flags and shouting, as well as the Qin people who support him and the brave Qin soldiers and horses, and it is like a fool's dream for others to take the public position from their hands.

The sky gradually darkened, Xiao Zishuo knelt in front of the spirit, he squinted at Xiao Ziyan who was kneeling motionless in the distance, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy and guilty in his heart.

In the past few days, his younger brother has obviously been a little lost, and he just obediently knelt in front of the spirit all day.

When Xiao Zishuo looked at him, it seemed that he had returned to his childhood, and the younger brother who was timidly chasing after him and calling his brother came back.

Secretly looking at Xiao Ziyan, Xiao Zishuo finally sighed. He has made up his mind that when he gets the public position, he will still make Ziyan Zhengqing, and he will also use the richest land in Qi as Ziyan's fief.

Even though you once wanted to kill me, but I am your brother, don't you always have to protect your brother?

"The eldest son, the eldest son."

Xiao Zishuo looked at the candlelight in front of him, and was thinking about it, when he heard someone next to him calling him.

He looked up and saw that the person who spoke was the old eunuch in Mrs. Mi's mansion, and he remembered that every time he went to Mrs. Mi's mansion to find Xiao Ziyan, this old eunuch always followed the two of them.

Seeing that familiar smile appear in front of him again, Xiao Zishuo smiled and said:

"It turned out to be Father-in-law Liu, I haven't seen him for many years, and my father-in-law is old."

When Gonggong Liu heard Xiao Zishuo say this, a trace of imperceptible discoloration flashed in his eyes, but he quickly lowered his head to hide it, and when he looked up again, he was still full of smiles.

"It's rare that the eldest son will remember me as an incomplete person, which makes the Sprinkle family a little flattered."

"When Zishuo was young, he often went to Mrs. Mi's house, and was taken care of by his father-in-law every day, how dare Zishuo forget, what did my father-in-law come to me for." Xiao Zishuo said with a smile still on his face.

When Gonggong Liu heard this, he looked up at the other people in the main bed, and the several officials and maidservants beside Xiao Zishuo naturally understood the meaning, so they turned sideways and retreated.

And several nephews behind Xiao Zishuo were dozing absent-mindedly, and no one seemed to care about Xiao Zishuo.

On weekdays, it is also common for these internal officials and maids to serve Xiao Zishuo, who would care about an old man kneeling beside Xiao Zishuo.

After seeing that no one looked at him anymore, Gonggong Liu lowered his head and said softly: "Eldest son, it was Mrs. Mi who asked the Sprinkle family to come and invite the eldest son to the mansion to talk about it. ”

"Mrs. Mi?"

Xiao Zishuo looked at Gonggong Liu in some surprise.

Mrs. Mi is Xiao Ziyan's biological mother, no matter how she is said to be a hostile person to herself, and the succession has not yet been decided, what kind kind can she have when she comes to invite herself.

Seeing that Xiao Zishuo frowned, Father-in-law Liu said softly: "Eldest son, Mrs. has received news today, Lord Sanqing is going to make you a prince, in order to compete with you for the throne before, Mrs. Mi and the second son offended you, so Mrs. wants to make amends to you." ”

After Liu Gonggong finished speaking, he lowered his head, as if he was a little embarrassed, and secretly glanced at the Gongzi weir in the distance.

"Eldest son, Mrs. Mi said that don't let Ziyan know about this, although this child is not very old, he is quite resolute, and Mrs. Mi is afraid."

"Okay, father-in-law doesn't need to say much, Ziyan is also what I watched grow up, my brother is on the wall, and the outside is insulted, how can I do things that are fast for the enemy and painful for the relatives, I will go with you."

Gonggong Liu was stunned when he heard this, he really didn't expect Xiao Zishuo to agree so quickly.

How did he know that Xiao Zishuo had already made the decision to forgive Gongziyan, so he readily agreed to see Mrs. Mi.

For Xiao Zishuo, although Mrs. Mi is not his biological mother, but she is also his father's wife, since it is a family and Xiao Ziyan's mother, so Xiao Zishuo decided to reconcile with her, maybe in the future, when dealing with the people of Chu, he will inevitably have to seek the help of his stepmother.

But Gonggong Liu had a different taste in his heart.

The two left the main bed one after another, and slowly walked towards Mrs. Mi's mansion in the night.

On the way to Mrs. Mi's house, Xiao Zishuo's mood is difficult to calm down for a long time, this road will go back and forth every day, more than ten years have passed, but the bamboo forest and pond on this road are still the same as before, and there has not been the slightest change.

Xiao Zishuo still remembers that when he first walked this way, he went with his mother to visit Mrs. Mi, who had just given birth.

The weak but beautiful stepmother, the skinny and petite younger brother whose skin was wrinkled, Xiao Zishuo felt family affection and warmth for the first time here.

Since then, he has walked through this road every day, the rooster crows, the sunset and return has never stopped, every woods and bamboo forest beside this road, have left his own figure with Ziyan playing.

"Father-in-law Liu, I fell into the pond there that year, or did you jump down to rescue me despite the biting cold water, and you suffered from leg pain because of this, but now are you okay?"

Listening to Xiao Zishuo's inquiry, the worried Liu Gonggong looked up at the pond.

"Eldest son, the Sprinkle family remembers that it was the second son who shouted for you to dig the bird's nest on the tree, and you climbed up without saying a word, and then fell into the water.

At that time, the Sprinkle family was frightened. Huh"

Gonggong Liu laughed and responded to Xiao Zishuo's words, but Xiao Zishuo didn't notice it in the dark, but there was no trace of a smile on Gonggong Liu's face.
