Chapter 31: Goodbye is not goodbye

The army on the side of King Chen Qingjun marched towards the capital step by step, with great momentum. The people of the capital received the news and moved their families one after another, but if there was a real war, where could these innocent people flee, and then the entire Great Qin would fall into war. No, it may not be more than Daqin.

Although the army is approaching, Xia Zimo's life rules have not changed, going to the court every day and dealing with political affairs, but one more item is added to deploy troops.

On this day, Xia Zimo went to court as usual, but found that Qiu Luoxue did not come. And Jiang Shilian, who had not been to the court for a long time, came.

"Your Majesty, King Chen's army is about to arrive in the capital, please think twice, and before King Chen arrives in the capital, remove Prime Minister Qiu from his official position and quell the war." Jiang Shilian suggested.

"Isn't Master Jiang very sick and can't go to court?" Xia Zimo glanced at Jiang Shilian coldly and asked.

"The minister is worried about the safety of the world, so he can't help but come." Mr. Jiang said that his rhetoric had always been hypocritical.

"The safety of the world is up to me. You're still just a royal historian, and you want to rob me? Xia Zimo said sternly, and his words inadvertently buttoned Jiang Shilian a hat.

"Your Majesty, the minister definitely doesn't have such thoughts. The minister just felt that Prime Minister Qiu was useless, and King Chen's army was about to enter the capital for her, and she was absent from the government. is so ashamed of the people of the world, why does the emperor have to keep her as prime minister. Jiang Shilian emotionally accused Qiu Luoxue.

But as soon as his words fell, a notice came from outside the hall: "The Prime Minister has arrived ......"

The pronunciation of the word "to" was stretched very long, and Qiu Luoxue walked into the hall in the sound of this announcement. She was wearing a prime minister's suit, which was bright red. The black hair fell on the shoulders and fluttered with the wind as it walked. Sunlight poured into the main hall from the open door and sprinkled on the floor of the main hall, shining goldenly, like a golden carpet spread on the ground.

Qiu Luoxue walked into the hall step by step, steadily, her life has never been so cautious, but this time she walked very cautiously. Because every step she takes means that she is farther away from Xia Zimo. Because of this, Qiu Luoxue kept looking at Xia Zimo while walking, and then looked at it again, and then at it. That's it.

Xia Zimo also kept looking at Qiu Luoxue, and I don't know why she was late today. And he always felt that today's autumn Luoxue was a little different. What's the difference? The clothes and hairstyles have not changed, and the face is the same as always, but the eye circles are slightly red.

Are you crying again? Xia Zimo thought silently in his heart, thinking that he must ask her after the next dynasty. He didn't want him to bring pain to Qiu Luoxue, and wanted her to be happy and happy.

In addition to Xia Zimo, the ministers also looked at Qiu Luoxue, because her appearance was too eye-catching. The red costume, the golden sun, as if everything was preparing for her grand appearance.

Walking to the center of the main hall, Qiu Luoxue slowly knelt down and saluted: "Weichen Qiu Luoxue, see Your Majesty."

"The prime minister doesn't have to make this big gift, it's too late, let's get back to my position quickly." Xia Zimo said.

But Qiu Luoxue didn't get up, looked up at Xia Zimo and said, "I'm afraid, I can't return to that position."

"Why is that?" Xia Zimo asked, he was a little faintly uneasy.

"I beg Your Majesty to allow you to resign and go into hiding." Qiu Luoxue said word by word, this is her choice, and it is also a choice made to love Xia Zimo and help Xia Zimo keep his country.

Xia Zimo suddenly understood that Qiu Luoxue was here to say these words. Looking at Qiu Luoxue's determined eyes, he felt that he was very useless. can neither keep the lover, nor can the country.

Qiu Luoxue's words also surprised the ministers, and the ministers quickly divided into two factions. Some people say that Qiu Luoxue can't resign, and some people say that she resigned well, and it should have been like this a long time ago.

"The Qiu clan only has the bloodline of the prime minister, and the lord proposed to resign, who will hold this position? I hope you will take back what you just said. "This is the opinion of the opposition.

"Daqin, she is not the only one who can be the prime minister. In my opinion, she should have resigned a long time ago. Women, why get involved in government politics? It's better to find a good husband to marry, and teach your children at home. This is the opinion of the concurrators.

Xia Zimo was silent for a while, and finally spit out two words: "Not allowed."

This is what Qiu Luoxue had expected a long time ago, but she would not listen to Xia Zimo's words like before. She took out the dagger hidden in her sleeve and held it around her neck. The sharp edge of the dagger stabbed into her neck, and a trail of blood ran down her white neck. The dagger was like a stab in Xia Zimo's heart, making him feel a tearing pain.

When Xia Zimo watched Qiu Luoxue take out the dagger, he instinctively stood up from the dragon chair because he was worried.

"If Your Majesty does not let the minister leave today, the minister will commit suicide in this hall." Qiu Luoxue said, her eyes were already full of tears when she spoke.

"Prime Minister, you can't do it, it's a small matter to resign, don't hurt your life."

"Yes, yes, there is something to discuss, don't joke with life."

……

Qiu Luoxue held a dagger in her hand, and the ministers did not dare to instigate, but a few ministers who usually had a good relationship with Qiu Luoxue opened their mouths to persuade her. And the people in Jiang Shilian's camp room are all indifferent, with a posture of watching a play.

"You're pushing me." Xia Zimo looked at Qiu Luo's snow road.

"Yes, the minister is forcing you." Qiu Luoxue said that she and Xia Zimo looked at each other, and their eyes were full of tears.

Xia Zimo walked down step by step from the nine steps, the wide dragon robe dragged on the ground, and every time he took a step down, the dragon robe dragged on the ground would also move.

Qiu Luoxue watched Xia Zimo walk down step by step, and her tears couldn't help but fall. She knew that Xia Zimo would have heartache and resentment. But there is no way, she is the only way to protect Xia Zimo.

King Chen's power penetrated deep into the army of Great Qin and small countries such as Chuyang, and this time, under the banner of the Qing monarch's side, he said that Xia Zimo was a mediocre monarch and Qiu Luoxue was the prime minister of the troubled country. The people don't understand why, and most of them believe it. It's not the best idea to confront him now.

Therefore, Xia Zimo could only avoid Qiu Luoxue's phase and apologize to the people of the world, saying that he was bewitched by Qiu Luoxue and would handle national affairs more diligently in the future. Only then will King Chen lose his reason and will definitely withdraw his troops. Because if he does not withdraw his troops, he will expose his ambitions in front of the people of the world, and then lose the support of the people.

It was precisely because of these considerations that Qiu Luoxue would force her to die and force Xia Zimo to issue an order to depose her position.

Xia Zimo walked up to Qiu Luoxue, squatted down to look at her, and asked, "Do you really want to do this, don't you regret it?"

Qiu Luoxue showed a smile with tears in her eyes and said, "For the emperor, ministers, I don't regret it." Her tearful smile made Xia Zimo feel even more distressed.

Xia Zimo lowered his head and didn't speak for a long time. A tear fell from his eye socket and dripped to the ground, perhaps only Qiu Luoxue heard the sound of the tear falling.

After a long time, Xia Zimo slowly raised his head and held the kneeling Qiu Luoxue in his arms. Qiu Luoxue felt the warmth in Xia Zimo's arms, and her tears couldn't stop flowing.

"This ......" The ministers all looked at each other when they saw this, not knowing what to say. It turns out that the rumors are true, and His Majesty really likes the Prime Minister.

"Okay, I agree to your resignation." Xia Zimo finally made this difficult decision.

"After you resign, you can go anywhere. But you must live well until I pick you up. I will do what I promised you. Xia Zimo assured Qiu Luoxue.

"I'll be waiting for you where I am, all the time, all the time." Qiu Luoxue replied that tears kept flowing as she spoke.

Xia Zimo let go of Qiu Luoxue, looked at her with tears on her face, and reached out to wipe away her tears. He probably didn't expect that such a Qiu Luoxue was the last appearance in his memory.

"Passing on my will, Prime Minister Qiu Luoxue is not qualified for the post of prime minister, and he is allowed to resign from his official position and return to the rivers and mountains. The imperial historian Jiang Shilian, who is old and sick, is allowed to return to his home to recuperate, and from tomorrow, he does not have to go to court. ”

Xia Zimo turned around and walked towards the dragon chair, passing down the will as he walked. Jiang Shilian was full of joy when he first heard it, but the smile on his face froze when he heard it.

Although Xia Zimo deposed Qiu Luoxue's phase, he also deposed Jiang Shilian in disguise. In this way, at least the position of prime minister will not fall into the hands of King Chen's minions.

Before Qiu Luoxue came to the court, she had already dismissed the subordinates of the Prime Minister's Mansion and others to pack up and salute. After receiving Xia Zimo's order to resign, she left the palace and returned home. After going back, he left the Prime Minister's Mansion with Allure and others and left the capital.

She didn't want to stay in the capital, and she didn't want to say goodbye to Xia Zimo again, she was afraid that she would be reluctant to leave if she met again. So she didn't tell anyone and left quietly.

"Miss, are you really not waiting for the emperor? He will definitely come back to you after he goes down. Jasper said.

Qiu Luoxue avoided Jasper's gaze and pretended to look out of the car window, but shed a tear when she turned her head. She said, "Don't wait, I've already said goodbye."

Biyu and the others knew that Qiu Luoxue was uncomfortable, and they didn't say more, they just hoped that she wouldn't be so sad as time passed. I also hope that the man who is high up can be well.

Goodbye, Beijing. Friends here, goodbye. Xia Zimo, my love, goodbye.

Goodbye is not goodbye, hope for a goodbye day.

After the next dynasty, Xia Zimo didn't even change his dragon robe, so he rode to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Along the way, the people saw people wearing dragon robes, knelt on the ground one after another, and shouted long live.

When Xia Zimo arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was already empty. The courtyard of the Xiangfu is still gorgeous, the magnolia flowers in the autumn snow courtyard are still blooming, and the tunnel connecting the Xiangfu and the Imperial Palace is still shining with the light of the night pearl.

Everything seems to have not changed, just like Qiu Luoxue's appearance when she first became prime minister. But here, only the autumn snow is missing. Things are people, not everything, that's how it feels.
