Chapter 5 Demoted from Beijing

"Your Majesty, news has come from the Heavenly Prison that Cai Ying, the assassin who appeared during the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony, committed suicide by poisoning himself in the Heavenly Prison." When Jin Fu received the news from the prison, he quickly told Xia Zimo.

Xia Zimo played chess in the winter and beat Qiu Luoxue into the prison, he resumed his habit of playing chess with himself. Hearing the news of Jin Fu's report, he paused with his hand on the chess piece, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "He took the poison himself, but he did it to save me." Let's dispose of the corpse. ”

"It's just ......" Jin Fu hesitated for a moment and said, "It's just that before this person is interrogated, you can't find out who is behind the scenes, and you can't cut the grass and eradicate it." ”

Xia Zimo didn't care about this matter, and continued to play chess very calmly, saying: "I don't need to judge and know that there will be no one else in Daqin who dares to attack me except Uncle Chen." ”

Now that Cai Ying is dead, he can no longer be pursued, and the jailers of the prison dump his body in a mass grave. The mass graves were already desolate and gloomy, littered with skeletons and human bones. Such a place is even more desolate in winter, and the crows make a terrible cry among the dead trees, and it is desolate as far as the eye can see.

After the jailer left, Nie Yuan suddenly appeared in the mass grave and walked towards Cai Ying's body.

"I'm going to save you one more time." Qiu Luoxue said to Cai Ying.

"Why?" Cai Ying looked at Qiu Luoxue and asked.

"Because I feel happy knowing that you are still alive." Qiu Luoxue looked at Cai Ying and said, "So I don't want you to die." ”

Cai Ying looked at Qiu Luoxue, she was wearing a prison uniform like herself, and the dress looked a little big on her, and she was so thin, as if she was wrapped in clothes. She was so small that she still had to save him, even if he had hurt her.

"It's not a good idea. Don't you know that if you save me, I will still come to take revenge? Cai Ying asked, he looked at Qiu Luoxue, she was still the same as when she first met, her eyes were still very clear, as if she could melt people's grievances in them.

"Then come, come and take revenge on me. Don't you know? Those who went to Beize to lobby the eldest princess, came up with the idea to attack the Cai family, and intercepted you outside Beize were all me. "Qiu Luoxue counts everything on her head.

Maybe the first time she saved Cai Ying, it was just out of the kindness of human nature, and at that time he didn't want anyone to die because of himself. When she saw Cai Ying at the heavenly sacrifice ceremony, she really felt happy. When she rescued Cai Ying at that time, she didn't know that he could really survive, after all, he was seriously injured at the time, how to survive in a deserted place?

But he really survived, and he really appeared in front of her alive, which made Qiu Luoxue feel amazing and happy, and she saved someone with a small act of her own.

So this time, she wanted to save him again. Just when Cai Ying deflected the blade at the most critical moment, she saved Cai Ying and knew that Cai Ying was not a heinous bad guy. He could have killed her, but he gave up at the most critical moment.

"You're just obeying the orders of the emperor of Great Qin." Cai Ying said.

"What about you? To whom? Qiu Luoxue asked.

Cai Ying woke up after lying on the snow in the mass grave for a long time, and the first thing he saw was Nie Yuan. It turned out that Nie Yuan gave him fake death medicine so that he could save him.

Cai Ying lay on the snow, looking at the sky, maybe it was because of winter, the color of the sky was gray and white, which matched the color of the snow on the ground, and it seemed that the sky and the earth were connected.

In a gray-white sky, a white light shone through, and the sun shone on his face, making him feel extremely warm.

"He can't come to see you off, but please remember what he said." Nie Yuan saw Cai Ying wake up, so he said to him.

"Well, if you're determined to get revenge, come to me. But if you're still hesitant and don't have a firm idea of revenge, think again. Give me, or give yourself three years. Three years from now, if you still want revenge, come to me. I'm not in a hurry anyway. Cai Ying remembered what Qiu Luoxue told him again.

This is Qiu Luoxue's agreement with him, three years, let him think about his heart clearly. About revenge, about who to take revenge, she gave him three years for him to think about it. These three years are actually the time given to him to live. Because once he takes revenge, the moment he succeeds, he will also die. It's a given.

Because of this, Cai Ying cherishes the friendship of Qiu Luoxue. They didn't know each other before, but Qiu Luoxue let him go twice, which is not something anyone can do.

"Aren't you afraid that three years later, I will really come to her for revenge and kill her?" Cai Ying looked at Nie Yuan and asked.

"Don't be afraid, since I can save you, I can also kill you. I'll kill you before you seek revenge on her. Nie Yuan said, he wasn't joking.

With Nie Yuan's feelings for Qiu Luoxue, there is no doubt that if Cai Ying dares to kill Qiu Luoxue, then he will definitely kill her without hesitation. Only later...... The later ending was unexpected. Qiu Luoxue didn't expect it, Cai Ying didn't expect it, and Nie Yuan didn't expect it either.

After that, under Nie Yuan's eyes, Cai Ying left, walked farther and farther, fused into a small dot between the gray and white heaven and earth, and disappeared into the vast world.

"I really don't know if this decision is right or wrong." Nie Yuan looked at Cai Ying's disappearing back and said.

Qiu Luoxue was still in the prison, and without Xia Zimo's order, it would be impossible for her to get out of here. But she didn't expect that one day, she ushered in a holy decree that would demote her to the place. It's okay to stay in the capital like this, if you continue to stay in the capital, you have to meet every day, and both of you are in a dilemma.

After receiving the holy decree, Qiu Luoxue came out of the prison, and then packed her things and set off to her place. The place where it was degraded was in Annam, which was more than ten days away from the capital. On the day Qiu Luoxue left the capital, it was a snowy day. The carriage staggered out of the city gate, leaving two lines of carriages on the ground.

Xia Zimo stood on the city tower and watched Qiu Luoxue's carriage gradually leave. He made a concession, because Qiu Luoxue refused to give in, so he decided to fulfill it. Thinking that maybe he would not be able to see it, he would slowly retract his heart for Qiu Luoxue.

"Your Majesty, the carriage has gone far." Jin Fu saw that Xia Zimo had been staring in the direction of the city gate, and said.

"I know." Xia Zimo said.

"It's cold, Your Majesty should go back to the palace." Jin Fu persuaded.

"I thought I should be able to do it, to regress, to let her go. But now, I suddenly didn't want to do that, I didn't want to let her go. Xia Zimo said, he thought he could watch Qiu Luoxue leave safely, but he still couldn't do it.

Watching Qiu Luoxue's carriage disappear at the gate of the city, his heart also left. A sense of powerlessness and sadness hung over him, and he didn't like it. He, Xia Zimo, is a person who must get what he likes.

"In any case, your majesty will do what you want." Jin Fu said, "I don't think Prime Minister Qiu has no intention of His Majesty, otherwise she would not have sacrificed her life to protect Your Majesty." The slave didn't know how to solve the problem between the emperor and Prime Minister Qiu, but the slave knew that His Majesty really liked her, and she was by His Majesty's side, so you could smile more and be happy. ”

Jin Fu's words reminded Xia Zimo of Qiu Luoxue's smile, and her smile was contagious, so he couldn't help but hook his lips and laugh. He didn't like to laugh because he wanted to maintain dignity and authority in front of everyone. But since Qiu Luoxue came to him, there was more smile on his face.

"yes, I like to look at her and laugh." Xia Zimo said.

"In that case, Your Majesty might as well keep Prime Minister Qiu by your side. The carriage has just left, and it's not too late to make an order. Jin Fu said.

"Really...... Is that okay? Xia Zimo still hesitated, he didn't know what kind of emotion to face Qiu Luoxue.

The news of Qiu Luoxue's demotion spread after Xia Zimo issued an order, and everyone speculated about Xia Zimo's intentions. It was the fifth day of the new year when Qiu Luoxue left.

On the sixth day of the next day, it was the day of the last dynasty. The ministers waited to find out the news. No, as soon as he ascended to the court, a minister asked:

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Qiu was demoted out of Beijing, his position was vacant, and many things could not be decided. You see, is it going to re-select the prime minister? ”

This question was both tentative and a little provocative, Xia Zimo immediately heard the meaning and asked, "Lord Xu means to re-establish the phase?"

"The phase is an important position, and it cannot be vacant for a long time, since Lord Qiu has been demoted out of Beijing, Weichen thinks that it is naturally better to re-establish the phase." Lord Xu replied.

"Then Aiqing thinks who is the right person to be this prime minister?" Xia Zimo asked again.

"The minister thinks that Master Jiang is highly respected, and it is very suitable to be the prime minister." Lord Xu replied.

As soon as I asked Xia Zimo, I understood that this person was either Jiang Shilian's person or someone who wanted to curry favor with Jiang Shilian. And Jiang Shilian is King Chen's person, which can be said to have touched Xia Zimo's mold.

"The Xia family is the king for one day, and the Qiu family is the phase for life. This is the ancestral precept set by our ancestors. Lord Xu recommended the opposite sex as the prime minister, but he wants to subvert my Great Qin? Xia Zimo's words were loud, and all the ministers were scared in their hearts.

Lord Xu is even more so, when he heard Xia Zimo say this, he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers are wronged, and the ministers are just for the sake of the government."

"As long as I am in power, as long as she lives, the position of prime minister is hers. Don't test my bottom line under the banner of thinking about the government and politics. If you can't handle government affairs if you don't have the prime minister, resign as soon as possible. What I need is talents who can assist me in governing the country, not waste. Xia Zimo swept the ministers below with cold eyes and said, his eyes gave people invisible pressure.

After Xia Zimo finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves away, and the ministers quickly knelt down and sent him away.
