Wu Hai was a little reluctant to see that his father asked him to get the Shenque Sword.

Taizhu urged again, "Go quickly!" ”

In a moment, Wu Hai took the Shenque Sword from the back hall. Taizhu instructed Wu Hai to hand the sword to Zi Ji, who took the sword in his hand and immediately rushed to the cold air.

The scabbard of rhinoceros leather is carved with dragon patterns, which looks simple and heavy. The hilt of the sword was wrapped in strips of deerskin, and it felt very comfortable to hold in his hand, and he slowly pulled out the sword body, the sword body was dark and flashed with a strange cold light, and a cold air rushed straight to the door.

Zi Ji couldn't help but applaud repeatedly, Taizhu picked up a bronze Hu and threw it at him, "Try it!" Zi Ji swung his sword and slashed it, and the bronze Hu was immediately broken in half and fell to the ground.

Wei Ziqi was shocked, and Taizhu said proudly: "This sword was given to me by Nanmiao Wuzhu, made of meteoric iron, and it took more than three years to forge this sword. Because the material came from outside the sky, this sword was named Shenque. Zi Ji has this invincible divine que, and he is afraid that he will not be able to kill a child period? ”

Zi Ji held Shen Que in his hand and couldn't put it down, "As long as he is not three heads and six arms, I will definitely cut off his head." ”

Taizhu said thoughtfully: "Your Highness, don't take it lightly, after you go back, you must practice swords and horses diligently, and strive to hit with one blow." If you miss the shot, you don't have a chance to kill him again. ”

Weizi Qi's father and son had to give him too much advice, and he took the Shenque Sword again, and he was in a good mood. chatted with Taizhu for a while, it was nothing more than some kind words such as not forgetting the rich and noble. Then the two got up to say goodbye, and Taizhu sent their father and son outside the gate of the mansion to see them get into the carriage before returning to the mansion.

Wu Hai was angry in his heart, and he didn't even send a single step. Seeing Taizhu coming back, he complained: "Father, that Shenque sword is unparalleled in the world, how can you say that you will give it to them?" ”

Taizhu looked at this uncompetitive bastard son and sighed, "Wu Hai, you are too short-sighted, which is more important than wealth and power?" Is power or life more important? ”

Tai Zhu saw that although Wu Hai didn't speak, there was still a look of indignation on his face, and continued: "Now the day when the king runs out of oil and the lamp is not far away, although he has four princes, but in the end only Ziqi and Zishou can be the crown prince.

You still don't know about the three princes? I have hated our clergy for a long time. To say that he is generous, that is to be generous to his relatives and subjects, and to us will be a little lenient?

When he ascended the throne, it was our unlucky day, but Ziqi was different, although he was ambitious and ruthless, his godly heart was even more devastating. At which time did he not run at the front? When have you seen your son suffer like this?

Although it is difficult for Ziqi to make great achievements when he ascends the throne, what does the rise and fall of Yin Shang have to do with you and my father and son? We want our power, we want our wealth, who can give us these two things, we will help? What is a mere Divine Sword?

Swords are used to kill, but you don't have to use a sword to kill, you can also kill people here. Taizhu pointed to his head and said.

Seeing that Wu Hai still didn't care, he continued: "They take our Shenque Sword and go to kill the people we want to kill. Isn't it better to kill people with a knife than to do it ourselves?

Now that the overall situation is not stable, you will not go out to cause trouble in the future. When Wei Ziqi kills Zishou and Ziqi to sit on the throne, and kicks Shang Rong and Zu Yi out of the court, isn't the entire royal court still up to us? ”

Taizhu tapped Wu Hai's nose with his hand and said, "When I say these words, you go to your heart." After saying that, he didn't look at him again, and went back to the backyard.

Zi Qi slept a little, and after lunch, he remembered what Ziying said, and felt that it was better to enter the palace early. Hurriedly selected two rolls of bamboo slips and a wolf hair from the desk, and hurriedly went out.

As soon as he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he was stopped by Wu Du and Yi Shu, Wu Du bowed down and said, "Your Highness, the shop you asked the old slave to buy has already been bought, when are you going to take a look?" ”

Ziqi waved his hand, "Uncle Wu, you can just look at it, and also, don't bow your waist like this in the future, I'm not used to it, it's uncomfortable." If you do this again, you will go back to your Shouwang Mansion! ”

Wu Du was startled, and didn't dare to squeak again, but he didn't expect that Bi Gong Bi was also at fault. Yi Shu also raised her head in fright, it was the first time that she noticed this little girl, she looked very smart, and it was a great sign. His eyes widened in fear.

Ziqi smiled at him, "Yishu, you go to the back hall to find the finished bamboo slips and brushes, and go to Shangrong's mansion to find Miss Qingjun." Give him the things and take her to the shop. If you can't take that much, just find Fei Xian to go with it. ”

Yishu looked at him and smiled a bit like Grandma Wolf (was there at that time?). ), nodded and turned to run.

Ziqi turned around to leave, but Wu didn't dare not straighten his waist and shouted: "Your Highness, you can go by car, the coachman has bought it!" ”

Ziqi shook his head, "No, I don't like to do it, it hurts my butt, so it's better to walk comfortably." ”

Watching him go farther and farther, Wu Du looked confused, "This highness is really different!" ”

Ziqi entered the royal city, he was already familiar with the road, and he didn't need to lead at all. The guards and chamberlains were also familiar with the fourth prince, and no one stopped him. Walking to the door of Emperor Yi's bedroom, Ziqi asked the chamberlain to report to the inside.

After a while, the chamberlain Tuchang trotted out. Lao Yuan shouted: "Fourth Highness, you are here, the king is talking to me about His Highness, come in with me!" ”

Ziqi walked into the inner room and gave Di Yi a salute and said goodbye. Di Yi was in good spirits, stood up and asked in a complaining tone: "What have you been busy with in the past two days, and you haven't come to see your father?" ”

The child's heart finally fell to the ground, and it seems that the little princess didn't talk nonsense in front of her father. Hurriedly handed the bamboo slip wolf to Di Yi with both hands and said: "Father, the ministers have been busy doing this for the past two days, how about the father?" ”

Di Yi turned it over and looked at it for a long time, "What is this for?" ”

Ziqi hurriedly explained: "Instead of tortoiseshell lettering, it is very convenient to write? Tu Chang didn't avoid it this time, and he also looked left and right. Di Yi handed it to Zi Ji and asked, "You do it for this king!" ”

Ziqi hurriedly asked Tu Chang, "Is there a cyan dye in the palace?" ”

Tu Chang nodded, "There is a harem room!" Ziqi picked up a bronze dish from the case and handed it to him, and instructed him how to release the dye, and Tu Changle walked away.

Di Yi took the bamboo slip and looked at it for a while, and then picked up the wolf pen and fiddled with it, "You made this all by you?" Ziqi nodded, "I did it all." ”

"Can it really replace tortoiseshell lettering?" Di Yi was still a little skeptical.

Ziqi said confidently: "Father, Erchen has already tried it, and it works very well." ”

When Tu Chang came back with the bronze vessel and put it on the table, Di Yi handed the wolf to Zi Qi, "You come and try to show it to this king." Ziqi dipped the wolf in the dye, thought for a long time, and then wrote a heavenly character in the upper right corner of the bamboo slip, and then stopped and handed the pen to Di Yi, "Father, the son will write this word!" ”

Di Yi took the pen, looked at it, looked at the heavenly characters on the bamboo slips, and wrote the words "Destiny Xuanniao, descend and make soup" under the words "Destiny Xuanniao, descend and make soup" under the appearance of the sub-period.

After writing and looking at it for a long time, I still couldn't get enough of it, so I picked up the pen and wanted to write again, but after thinking about it and putting it down, I was a little reluctant to use it.

Di Yi touched the smooth bamboo skewer and said again and again, "Zi Period, this is what Zi Ying said, what business you want to do?" Ziqi's heart was cold, "End, it seems that this little princess's mouth really can't close the door." ”

said Cao Cao, Cao Cao couldn't come; Speaking of Ziying, Ziying came very quickly. As soon as he entered the door, he asked, "What does my father say about me?" ”

Di Yi looked at his little daughter lovingly and said, "Father is talking to your fourth brother about bamboo slips. The little princess looked at Ziqi and giggled when she heard this, as if to say, "What, stupid, right?" ”

Di Yi smiled and said to Ziqi: "You are now a prince, how can you easily enter and leave the market?" Although the bamboo slips are good, you can't trade them, and the dignified prince will go down to do business, what kind of system will it become? If you are short of expenses, I will let the inner treasury give it to you. Ziying stood next to her and smiled even more proudly, very gloating.

Ziqi hurriedly said: "Father, Erchen is not deliberately operating for profit, I am used to hunting, Leng Ding can't stay idle in Chaoge, just find fun." ”

Di Yi felt sorry for what happened to him when he heard it, and he didn't delve into it further, "Well, that's good!" ”

Tu Chang rolled his eyes when he heard this, and asked flatteringly: "Fourth Highness, if you have a surplus there, can you give the old slave a pair of bamboo slips and wolf hair, it will be much easier for me to remember." ”

Ziqi stretched out his hand to him and said, "Okay, bring the money first." ”

Tu Chang hurriedly smiled and asked, "How much?" ”

Ziqi whispered solemnly: "Forty punbei! ”

Tu Chang was frightened, didn't dare to ask again, and thought: "I have forty pengbei, let's keep it and buy five hundred acres of land!" ”

The little princess blinked her eyes and was about to speak, and her liver trembled in fright. Hurriedly stopped her and asked, "Ziying, tomorrow Brother Wang will make you a nine-chain game, do you want to?" Ziying immediately asked, "When will you do it for me?" ”

Ziqi hurriedly said, "Tomorrow I will go to find you a coppersmith." ”

Ziying stepped forward and grabbed him, "You can't lie to me!" ”

Tu Chang saw that Di Yi was a little tired, so he helped him to the dragon bed. Ziqi stood up and said goodbye, but Di Yi hurriedly stopped him and said, "If you have no wife or room, don't go back, live in the palace to accompany your father." Tomorrow there will be a court, so that you will not run back and forth. ”

When Ziying heard this, she hurriedly shouted: "Father, I want to be here too, I want to accompany my father with the four royal brothers." ”

At this moment, Zishou came in a hurry, walked up to Di Yi and reported the good news: "Father, Concubine Jiang has given birth, and I have added another grandson to my father." After speaking, he turned his head and smiled happily at the child. As soon as Di Yi lay down, he immediately sat up again.

It is no wonder that Zishou is happy with his father and son, Zishou is thirty years old today and has his first child. Ji Chang of Xiqi gave birth to Ji Kao at the age of fifteen (sealed in Boyi, known as Boyi Kao in history), and now there are dozens of sons.

Di Yi couldn't close his mouth with a smile, he didn't establish a prince for a long time, and it was also related to the fact that Zishou had no heirs. Wei Ziqi has the eldest son, and the son is not the next. Now that I have received good news, the scale in my heart is tilted a lot towards Zishou.

Di Yi said a few words in a row, and then said: "You have this child, and your father is expensive, so you should call him Father Lu (also known as Wu Geng)." ”

Zishou was so happy that he didn't care about what Di Yi had to say, and he was about to leave after saying a few more words.

Ziying hurriedly stopped and asked, "Brother Three Wang, Brother Wang and I are here to accompany my father and not go back, you are also here!" Zi Shou touched the top of the little princess's head lovingly, shook his head and left, Ziying shouted at his back: "You know how to spoil your wife!" ”

After all, Ziying is still an eleven-year-old child, and when she heard that Ziying was going to create nine rings for her, she seemed closer to him.

The brother and sister accompanied Di Yi to drink tea and talk together after dinner. Di Yi didn't dare to go to bed too early after dinner because of his age, and wanted to talk to Ziqi about the past. But Ziying pestered Zi Qi and kept asking this and that. Zi Qi patiently told her that Zi Ying sometimes did it when she was unhappy.

But thinking that the nine rings hadn't arrived yet, he immediately coaxed Zi to please him, and Di Yi was very happy to watch the brothers and sisters frolicking.

Later, the little princess fell asleep on her lap.

Di Yi said with relief: "Seeing that your brother and sister have this friendship, my father is very happy. When they grow up in the future, they will know the value of family affection! Ziqi guessed that maybe Di Yi remembered his sister who was far away in Xiqi again.

Di Yi asked Tu Chang to carry Xiao Ziying to the inner room to sleep, and let Zi Qi go to the ear room to rest.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Tu Chang commanded the chamberlain to serve Di Xin, Zi Qi and Zi Ying to bathe and eat, and then sent Zi Ying to her mother's harem. Before leaving, the little princess also told the child not to forget the matter of the nine rings, and this little girl was worried about it.

The sub-period and Tu Chang Fu Emperor Yi Lin.

Taizhu and Wei Ziqi saw that it was another child, and accompanied the king into the hall together, with envy, jealousy and hatred in their hearts.

Shang Rong went out of class and reported to Emperor Yi the taxes collected since the beginning of the autumn. When Zi Qi saw that Shang Rong was right, he was holding a bamboo slip in his hand, and he knew in his heart that this must be from Qingjun's hand.

Di Yi was very satisfied with Shang Rong's report.

Seeing Shang Rong returning to class, Zu Yi stepped forward and said: "King Qi (Dai), King Lu of the State of Lu sent an envoy to Chaoge, wanting to form an alliance with my Shang Tangyong, begging the king to marry, marry Ziying and Prince Lu as his wife, and hope that the king will decide." ”

Di Yi didn't know what to do when he heard it, Lu Guo had been at odds with Yin Shang for a long time, and he colluded to return to the country to fight against Yin Shang, and he fought and made peace, and fought and fought. I don't know how many times I stop and stop, it has always been a heart disease of Yin Shang.

Di Yi looked down, "What do you think?" ”

Jizi played the right class, "King Hui, since the marriage between our dynasty and Xiqi, the two countries have been on good terms, and there has been a lifetime (ancient saying refers to thirty years) peace. Lu and our Yin Shang have been at war for many years, and I don't know how much manpower and material resources have been spent, and the people on the border have been poisoned. Since King Lu has the intention of repairing, why doesn't the king push the boat along the river, imitate Xiqi's in-laws, and fulfill this beautiful thing? ”

Bigan also came out of the class and said: "What the Taishi played is indeed the words of seeking the country. Turning hostility into jade silk is really a blessing for the two countries and the people! ”

As soon as Bi Gan finished speaking, Shang Rong frowned and said, "The minister thinks otherwise, Lu Country is a country of integrity?" King Lu is the king of integrity? ”

Zishou finally couldn't hold it back, and also went out of class and said: "Father, Lord Shangrong is reasonable, King Lu is a treacherous person. Besides, Ziying is only eleven years old this year, how can she get married? Father, don't hurt Ziying! ”

Di Yi listened and nodded slightly. When Taizhu saw Di Yi's expression, his triangular eyes blinked and blinked, and his dim eyes turned and turned, and only he knew it in the entire hall.

Nan Miao and Gui Lu have been in fornication for a long time, and they are planning to invade and occupy the land in the south of Yin Shang. However, Lu Guo was hit by a flood this year, not to mention sending troops to fight, and it was difficult to even survive.

King Lu had no choice but to come up with a plan to delay the marriage, one could take a breath, and the other could get financial support from the Yin Shang court. Therefore, Nan Miao Wu Zhu bribed Tai Zhu with the priceless Shenque Sword, hoping that he would achieve this from it.

Taizhu coughed lightly, shook his head and said: "King, the minister thinks that the marriage plan is in line with the will of God and the will of the people, and it is a good thing for a century-old plan. Then he said that God blesses Shang Tang, marriage is out of God's will, and cannot be disobeyed, and a lot of nonsense.

Ziqi originally thought that it was too immoral to exchange benefits for an eleven-year-old little princess, and he was extremely upset to listen to it. At this moment, a mosquito flew around in front of me, and I felt even more upset.

He held his hand like lightning, and grabbed it in his hand.

Zishou quietly stabbed him next to him, and Ziqi immediately stood up straight.

Taizhu was still chattering, Ziqi's eyes rolled, and the corners of his mouth smiled and walked in front of Taizhu. When he raised his left hand, he had a big mouth, and he shouted, "Don't move, my lord, you have a mosquito in the face!" Don't move, here! ”

Before Taizhu could react, he raised his right hand and opened a big mouth, louder than just now. made five red fingerprints on Taizhu's face, and his whole face was wooden, and he couldn't say a word anymore.

Ziqi raised his hand seriously, pinched the mosquito and handed it to him, "Look, it's hit, damn it!" In front of the palace, the mouth of the Manchu Dynasty was wide open, and Ziqi swaggered back to his place and stood with his hands down in front of everyone.

Zishou wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and his face was flushed. Di Yi's face sank, "Child, don't mess around, this is not a deserted village and wild store, what kind of mosquitoes are fighting!" "How smart Shang Rong is, how can he not know that Emperor Yi is protecting his son? Bow your head and smile silently.

Taizhu covered his face, and Venus appeared in front of him. I want to be angry but don't dare to be angry, a prince is kind enough to give you mosquitoes, what are you annoyed about? Although the hand strength is a little bigger, the mind is still good, nonsense is nonsense, but he is a prince.

Di Yi settled down and asked, "Ziji, what do you think about the matter of harmony?" ”

Ziqi took a step forward, "Father, this must not be done. ”

Di Yi gave him a fond look, "Go on." ”

Ziqi smiled, "Then King Lu is just a mosquito, he can't be fed, you drank blood for him today, and he will come tomorrow, so he can only be shot to death." Right, Lord Taizhu? ”

Taizhu covered his cheeks and couldn't speak, and his gums were swollen.

Ziqi pointed at him and shouted, "By the way, Lord Taizhu, you haven't thanked me yet!" ”

Di Yi waved his hand, Ziqi retreated into the distance and stopped talking, and several young military attachés couldn't help but steal fun.

Di Yi said softly: "Although the words of the sub-period are rough, the truth is right. Lord Zoey, give the envoy some more money and send it away! ”
