Chapter 604: Scarlet Zhu Kill
Holding Nuo Nuo out of the main room of Qingfen Pavilion, Yue Qianqiu saw that the maids brought by the eldest princess of Dongyang, as well as a few girls given to Princess Ping'an by the old lady Yue were in the courtyard, he thought about it slightly, and casually threw Nuo Nuo on his back, but he didn't follow the right path and climbed directly onto the wall.
This kind of experience Nuo Nuo has long been familiar with, not only is he not afraid, but he is so happy that he pats Yue Qianqiu's shoulder.
At this time, Yue Qianqiu couldn't help but think of the scene when he was carried up and down by Yan Xu, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile. When he took Nuo Nuo directly to the roof of Hemingxuan next door, he thought that no one in this side should be able to overhear their brother and sister's conversation, so he put the little girl down.
"Nuo Nuo, tell me well, what is Zhu Shu?"
The little girl is not very old, but she is a ghost. She puffed up her chest triumphantly, and then said with a smile: "Brother Qianqiu, you don't know, right?" Zhu is not just a thing, but also a person. ”
As she spoke, she looked around, as if she was afraid that someone would eavesdrop on her, so she leaned into Yue Qianqiu's ear and said very quietly: "I heard my father and mother talk about it." In the last years of the first emperor of the Northern Yan, he degraded the official and killed people if he didn't like the eye, so the Northern Yan Qiu Hunting Division raised a group of people, who didn't do anything else, and killed people specifically for the emperor. ”
"Probably because the first emperor of the Northern Yan degraded the official and felt that it was not refreshing enough, so he simply made out a very rare red color, dipped the pen in that color and wrote a post to send to others, just like the post of the king of Hades, this is called Zhu killing. And if the minister who received Zhu's post refused to commit suicide, then he would be dismissed the next day, and he would die after the dismissal. And the person who did it is said to be called Zhu Kill. ”
Although he was talking about his great-grandfather, there was no trace of respect in Nuonuo's tone. However, when the little girl talked about the emperor of Beiyan in the past, she also lacked respect, and Yue Qianqiu didn't know if it was Yue Xiaosi or Princess Ping'an herself who didn't have much respect for the Beiyan Supreme, or if she had already thought of sending her daughter to Jinling and deliberately taught her so.
The whisper in his ears is like an orchid, but what he is talking about is a terrifying topic that is completely incommensurate with a little girl of Nuo's age, and Yue Qianqiu really feels a little weird. However, at the moment, there is really no time to ask Princess Ping'an again, and Nuno's explanation is very much like that, not like the stories made up by ordinary children, and he has to give her a thumbs up.
"Well, that's very clear. So, my brother asks you again, if that faint gentleman does this, won't there be any anger and resentment? Non-torture killing, even if he is the Supreme Son of Heaven, the people below should not be able to bear it, right? Moreover, when I made up for the history, geography, customs and customs of Beiyan before, I didn't see anyone write this story of Zhu killing. ”
"It's a shame." Nuno grimaced, realizing that Yue Qianqiu couldn't see it, so she simply naughtily pulled her brother's ear, and then snorted lightly.
"At that time, the whole Shangjing was in chaos, and the officials continued to stay for fear of Zhu killing, and they were afraid of Zhu killing when they resigned, plus the princes attacked each other, assassinated, and killed countless people, so the current Emperor Beiyan turned against his father in anger. After he ascended the throne, he cleared all kinds of traitorous remnants, and when he wrote a living record for the first emperor, it was said that everything that should be deleted was deleted, of course, no one spread such gossip! ”
"I remember my father telling my mother that he had taken in a person from Zhu Kill before, who was raised in the Autumn Hunting Division since childhood, and they only knew how to obey orders, only knew how to kill, and couldn't do anything else."
The more Qianqiu listened, the more he felt that something behind this was about to be caught by himself, so he found that Nuo Nuo suddenly stopped, and he couldn't help asking, "What happened later?" ”
"Later...... Then there was no more! Seeing Yue Qianqiu suddenly turning his head and looking at himself in astonishment, Nuo Nuo said angrily, "Dad suddenly saw me when he said this, and said that he couldn't let me listen to this, so he asked my mother to take me back to sleep!" ”
Yue Qianqiu was suddenly not depressed. This kind of mode that is gone at a critical moment is what he hates the most! It's just that thinking that Princess Ping'an should know a little more than Nono, he finally figured it out a little bit and breathed a sigh of relief, then pinched the little girl's cheek, and then said with a smile: "Thanks to you, a jack of all trades." When I get back, I'll buy you candy man. ”
Nonodeng's eyebrows fluttered, and he even forgot Yue Qianqiu's unhappiness when he pinched his face, and said with his hands dancing: "I want the biggest, I want the biggest!" ”
"Beware of bad teeth!" Yue Qianqiu warned, and when he saw people holding his arms and being coquettish, he finally agreed, "In short, as long as you tell your brother everything in the future, whether it's a sugar man or a meat skewer, anything!" By the way, my mother let me go with the eldest princess, and the guests will be entertained by you for a while, you little master, don't stab me Louzi, do you know? ”
"I know, I know, brother, you are really old, so wordy! If I had known, I would have kept the big and small pairs together, and it would be good for them to serve tea and water! ”
Yue Qianqiu only felt that her temples on both sides were pounding suddenly. The two demon kings of the mixed world did not open the house for three days in the eldest princess's mansion, but in the Yue family, there was a big lady pressing, and a little witch staring at it, and they would even be instructed to serve tea and water, if Yan Xu and Su Shiqi, and even the eldest princess of Dongyang knew that the twins were so controlled, would they be angry to death?
Before jumping off the ground with Nuo Nuo on his back, he could only decide to change the method: "After all, those two boys are the emperor's grandson's nephews, don't mess around too much." Well, if you can cultivate their manhood and let them take on a little responsibility in the future, my brother will promise you a condition. As long as it's not a hurtful or shameful thing like murder or arson, I promise you! ”
Nono's eyes flashed with surprise, she didn't even ask if it was real or not, she shouted almost without thinking about it: "Deal!" Brother Qianqiu, don't lie to anyone! ”
Knowing that most of the tempers of Yue Xiaosi and Princess Ping'an were inherited by Nuo Nuo, she will definitely find ways to do what she promised, of course, Yue Qianqiu will not drag the mud and water, stretched out her left hand and hit the little girl on her back lightly, and then said seriously: "Once the word is out, the horse is difficult to chase!" ”
I went and came, but I was delayed for a while. Yue Qianqiu sent Nono back to Princess Heian. He saw that the eldest princess of Dongyang had no intention of leaving to go with them, and he didn't know if she had reached any compromise with Yan Xu's mother and son when she was away just now, so he pretended to be okay and said hello to Yan Xu.
"Master, will you leave now?"
"Well, let's go." Unlike Yue Qianqiu's thoughts, just a short moment ago, the atmosphere in the room seemed to freeze, and no one said a word. Therefore, at this time, Yan Xu is not sure whether the eldest princess of Dongyang accepts that he has changed his official position, and immediately resigns. And Cheng Qianqian was the first to go out after Wanfu saluted.
The little fat man and Li Chongming were already uncomfortable and dead here just now, and they naturally slipped away quickly at this time. When Yue Qianqiu was the last to come out of the house, he saw that the two people who came out first had already begun to stare at each other, compared with the sneer and hostility of the little fat man, Li Chongming's quiet city seemed to be much deeper. But he also knew that the little fat man was just pretending to be rough in front of his mortal enemy.
This guy is ghostly at a critical moment!
After a while, Yan Xu followed, and looking at that expression, the eldest princess of Dongyang didn't seem to say anything. But when he beckoned everyone to leave, Sang Zi hurriedly rushed out, and when she arrived at Yan Xu's side, she hesitated for a moment before she whispered: "It happened suddenly, the eldest princess just didn't figure it out for a while, young master, don't be reluctant, put yourself first in everything." ”
Although he knew that Sang Zi was chasing after him on his own initiative when he heard this tone, Yan Xu's originally serious face suddenly became radiant. The corners of his eyebrows raised, and he said confidently: "Aunt Sang told my mother that I know it in my heart, please rest assured!" ”
When Sang Zi returned to the house, before she could give a stern answer to the eldest princess of Dongyang, she saw this golden branch and jade leaf, who had always been known for her fiery temper and ruthlessness, scolded angrily: "Don't worry, fart!" He's just been to Beiyan once before, and now he's grown up with stiff wings in front of me? When the old lady was doing things, his teeth hadn't grown yet, and he wanted me to sit at home and hug my grandson to enjoy Qingfu? ”
In the days when Yue Qianqiu went out before, the eldest princess of Dongyang also came to the Yue family, and Princess Ping'an and her met twice. But at that time, she always felt that this one was always a little upright - not with a shelf, but always a little unable to let go. At this time, hearing her scolding her son angrily in front of her, she even used the word "mother", she couldn't help but feel sorry for it, and suddenly thought of Yue Xiaosi.
Well, that guy also likes to call himself Lao Tzu, and says he learned it from his father. To say that the father-in-law who laughs and scolds without taboos is the same as this unscrupulous eldest princess, he is really an interesting person......
How could the eldest princess of Dongyang miss the snickering smile of Princess Ping'an? Now that she has lost her temper, she is too lazy to continue to maintain the demeanor of the former eldest princess, and said stupidly: "Ah Xu and Yue Xiaosi used to be a temper, and now everyone says that he is a prodigal son, but in my opinion, it is far worse than your family's mouth." He wants to pick up my burden now, and he can't help himself! ”
Princess Ping'an was naturally happy when others praised Yue Xiaosi. However, when her husband who likes to be proud is not there, of course she is happy to demean him behind her back.
"Don't praise him to your face in the future, Shiro is a person who thinks that one is one out, compared to Brother Yan, his temperament is too jumpy, and he is not stable in doing things. Besides, my father has four sons, Shiro is the youngest son, of course he can be willful outside, but Brother Yan is the only son of the eldest princess, and he is good enough. ”
Three words are good enough, and finally touched the thin string in the heart of the eldest princess of Dongyang. She sighed, looked at Princess Ping'an, and suddenly reached out and shook the hands that were still a little cold even in this warm room.
"Although I have heard the old man talk about you a long time ago, I can only know when I have spoken in person, what a blessing it is that stinky boy from Yue Xiaosi to marry you. There are very few girls who have been treated by their relatives but have grown up safely, especially when they meet someone as open-minded and cheerful as you. The younger four are very blessed, and Qianqiu is even more blessed. ”
In the face of this extraordinary praise, Princess Ping'an was not polite, and she tilted her head lightly with her eyebrows crooked with a smile.
"I just treat every day as if it were my last and live it as happily as I can. Now that I have met a man who is so good to me, since I have given birth to such a lovely daughter, since a very interesting son has fallen from the sky, and I have a very interesting father-in-law, what am I not satisfied with? ”
Hearing Princess Ping'an describe Yue Qianqiu as very funny, and the old lady Yue was very interesting, the eldest princess of Dongyang finally laughed. And after the joke, she gradually put away her smiling face and asked in a deep voice, "Do you know Zhu Shu?" ”
"Hmm." Princess Ping'an was suddenly silent for a while, and then said lightly, "I heard from the nurse that my grandfather, a very ordinary petty official, died at the hands of Zhu Killer. After he received the Zhu killing post, thinking that his family was full of wives and children, he was lucky not to commit suicide, just thinking that it was impossible for the first emperor to kill a seven-rank sesame official like him, maybe someone was playing a prank. As a result, one morning, my grandmother woke up to find her face sticky, and when she found that the person next to her pillow had no head, she went crazy on the spot. ”
Telling this extremely bloody story, her face was only slightly pale, but her hands were tightly grasping the handkerchief in her hand, and her knuckles were a little blue: "In such a tragedy when the sky fell, my grandfather's house was completely scattered overnight. My mother had already entered the palace and escaped, but she was frightened by this incident, and she died within a few months. ”
"It is said that at that time, Zhu killed the post, it was completely the first emperor casually looking through the roster of various officials, as long as there were people on the left and right who did not fulfill their duties, he would be furious and immediately carry out the post in person, and kill people if he did not commit suicide."
After all, it is the north and the south, even if the eldest princess of Dongyang is so old, it does cover the reign of the first emperor of Beiyan, but she really didn't expect that blood-red terror to cover ordinary petty officials! She took a deep breath, and planned not to ask about the tragic incident that made Princess Ping'an lose her biological mother, but she didn't expect Princess Ping'an to turn her head sideways and smile at her again.
There was not much pain in that smile, but some inexplicable warmth.
"But because of my grandfather's incident, my mother-in-law, who only meets me once in the morning and evening, took me for a day for the first time. Now that she thinks about it, she must have put her hand into the Akikari Division since then, and enveloped a few stalwart officials who were dissatisfied with her superiors. Later, he took them to kill the then chief and deputy envoys, and followed the previous emperor's perverse behavior...... What happened later, presumably the eldest princess knew about it. I still remember what she said when she comforted me......"
Princess Ping'an narrowed her eyes slightly, and her usual gentle and gentle tone turned out to be sonorous and powerful.
"Don't cry, men don't flick when they have tears, but if women only cry when they are sad, then people will look down on them! Your mother is indeed sad and desperate without her parents and family, but after all, she still has your daughter, why don't you want to think about what you should do if she dies? You have to live well, think about it, you are probably the only one left in your family, and you should live well! ”
Speaking of this, she shook her head in self-defeat, and then said seriously: "If it weren't for the fact that she always remembered to ask me for a doctor when she was there, maybe I wouldn't be alive now." Even if she never saw me alone again, and later people said that she had died, but even if I was insignificant, my brothers and sisters did not take me seriously, but at least the doctor who treated me never stopped. So, no matter what others say, I respect her very much, and she is a woman who will do what she says! ”
