As the night deepened, in the study, Zhao Wuxian was slowly narrating the story of Qi and his wife and concubine. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After the wife of Qi Ren returned, she told her concubine everything she had witnessed, and said sadly: "The beloved (husband) is the person you and I rely on for life, but it is really disappointing to do such a thing. So the two daughters laughed at Qi people in the courtyard together, talking and crying, but Qi people didn't know that Shi Shiran returned from outside and continued to brag in front of his wife and concubine with his fabricated deeds......"

"In the eyes of a gentleman, there are too few people who can weep without making their wives and concubines feel ashamed of their wives and concubines."

After a story was finished, there was a sudden silence in the study.

"The prisoner of Shi Mo, Kong Jiao and Lingzi both want to persuade me, Kong Jiao is because he can't bear Zhixian's suffering from swords and axes, Lingzi is thinking about my reputation and the current situation, in your opinion, all kinds of things I have done in order to gain power are enough to make you ashamed, and cry against each other?"

"Not really."

Ji Huan smiled, and her fingers stopped Zhao Wuxian and continued.

"Don't be presumptuous."

She is the one who watched him grow up, in Ji Huan's opinion, there are too many things that Wuxian wants to protect, cold-blooded and decisive in front of people, but occasionally fall into self-doubt in the future. His nature is gentle, but he forces himself to do things that go against his original intention, wading into the muddy water, covered in mud but not care, thinking about how to cleanse the pond and clean up the source.

He is different from the princes and princes in the world, what he cares about is not the glory and wealth that is fleeting, not the name of his former and posterior, but some more far-reaching things that Ji Huan can't explain.

This time, it was Zhao Wuxian's turn to pill on Ji Huan's lap, the knee pillow, his favorite harbor, but unfortunately only before the age of eight and after marriage.

He closed his eyes and asked, "You have come here tonight to persuade me?" You must know that Shi Mo has a close relationship with the Zhao family. ”

Ji Huan looked at him affectionately: "Kill or stay, the decision you make naturally has its own reason, even if you are puzzled by the world, the concubines and others will rest with you." ”

When, on the wedding night, he and her drank wine, knotted their hair together, looked at each other's bodies, and hid each other like newborn babies, it meant that fate was united.

The king is regarded as a rock, and the concubine is regarded as a pampas reed. Pu Wei seems to be soft, but it is as strong as silk, and Ji Ying hopes that Zhao Wuxian's heart can be like a rock and unshaken!

"If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for? I'm so childish, it really makes you laugh. ”

Zhao Wuxian got up, faded away from the entanglement, he decided to solve this matter well, physical destruction is very simple, but first to cross the hurdle in his heart.

"I'm going to meet Tai Shimo."

Ji Huan raised his head and tidied up his clothes: "Taishi never bends, can you persuade him?" ”

"Give it a try, this is a chance for Tai Shimo." Zhao Wuxian straightened his clothes and said, "It's also a chance for myself!" ”

……

The candlelit cell, the prisoner who is peaceful.

When the porcelain vase was placed on the desk, Tai Shimo looked up at Zhao Wuxian in front of him, and there was no fluctuation in his eyes.

"Shangqing, is this here to see off the old decay?"

"It's too much." Wuxian sat down and let his subordinates go out, even the black-clothed guards, and only he and Tai Shimo were left in the room.

The cork was pulled out, and a rich mellow fragrance wafted out, which made people smell intoxicated.

"This is Yecheng soju, which is rare in the world." The invention of bronze stills led to the birth of distilled spirits, which only needed some strong liquor and lees, let the alcohol transpirate on it, and then use utensils to undertake it, which could not only be sold at a good price in the northern cold places such as Dai, Zhongshan, and Yan, but also benefited a lot from medicine.

"Zhao Qing has come up with something new."

Shi Mo shook his head and said, "It's a pity that the old man stopped drinking after he was thirty years old, and he was afraid that he would ruin the heavens." ”

"Zhou Gong's "Wine Message" said: Our people are in turmoil and lose morality, and they are not only drunk; The smaller the bigger the state, the more innocent it is...... Taishi doesn't drink alcohol because alcohol leads to chaos and depravity? ”

Shi Mo said: "It's just that it's easy to get confused when drinking, my eyes are dizzy, my pen is loose, and I can't see the facts clearly." ”

And drinking is easy to trigger emotions, and as a historian, this is not what it should be.

Unlike Kongqiu's pen, no matter what is the case, it is only recorded coldly, and no personal comment is the way that Shi Mo is fond of.

Wuxian smiled: "Because of this, Taishi can speak amazingly, and even predict that the Wu State will be destroyed by the Yue Kingdom." ”

"But I always feel that Taishi is not without selfishness."

"Taishi's selfishness is to have a deep prejudice against me, and today I dare to ask Taishi, why is this? Is it because I destroyed the old rites and stole the state, or because I broke the deadlock of the Six Secretaries and carved up the office? ”

"Neither."

"Then why did Taishi guard me like a thief when I first entered the Qiqi Palace? After I returned to the Jin Kingdom, even though I did all kinds of things for the benefit of the country and the people, Taishi was still very jealous of me? Taishi can say to my father, the high bank is the valley, the deep valley is the mausoleum, the society is impermanent, and the monarch and the minister are impermanent, since ancient times, it can be seen that he is not a fool and loyal to the Jin family, and it is impossible to see the general trend of the world, which makes me even more incomprehensible. ”

Tai Shimo looked at Zhao Wuxian with a complicated gaze.

"Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and dripping stone is not a day's work."

"In the Qi Palace, it is not the first time that the old man has seen Zhao Qing, and he has had a friend before."

"At the banquet, Zhao Qing was young and weak, independent of his fathers and brothers, taciturn, except for being good at forbearance, he really couldn't see any outstanding talents."

What he said, Zhao Wuxian had no impression at all.

"However, a year later, when Zhao Qing re-entered the Qiqi Palace, he was the same as before, which made the old man deeply suspicious."

"You suddenly became famous, and you became the leader of the younger generation of the secretary of Jin, while carefully currying favor with the king, while attacking scheming, secretly operating force in the territory to buy people's hearts, as if you have great ambitions in your chest, it is really different from the previous forbearance boy."

Zhao Wuxian said: "Isn't it normal to be young and old and smart? King Chuzhuang also did not fly for three years, soared into the sky, and did not sound for three years, and it was a blockbuster. ”

"It's hard to believe that in just one year, the changes have changed so dramatically, and it's ......"

Xiao is as wise as Tai Shimo, and he also showed a hint of doubt and fear.

"After leaving the Jin Kingdom, Zhao Qing's actions became more and more incomprehensible. Stealing the country and taking advantage of the situation, everything is so decisive, as if he knows that Yanghu will rebel and Liuqing will be chaotic. There are even some things that are incredible, such as military pawns, such as paper, such as iron, such as shogunate, such as criminal law, although Zhao Qing owes all his strength to his subordinates, but the old man can see that the reason for everything is you. ”

As a historian, Tai Shimo will go up to Tang Yao, down to all the visible classics in the modern world are familiar with the heart, the long river of history is also the long river of order, all development has its own internal laws, this law is not for Yaoxing, not for the death, any princes and generals, the so-called sages, are internalized in all kinds of historical rules, can not get out.

But only in Zhao Wuxian, he saw a trace of strangeness.

"Yao Shunyu Tang, Xia Wei Shangxuan, King Wen Wuwang Zhou Gong, Qi Huan Jin Wen, and even your father Zhao Wuzi, no one in his generation can surpass the times, but you, Zhao Qing, the old man can't figure it out."

In Tai Shimo's eyes, Zhao Wuxian is a stone that has disturbed this era, and the drastic changes in the past ten years have been guided by him alone, just like the entropy that causes chaos in a stable order, and it is not Shi Mo who notices this abnormality, but in this era, he is the only one who thinks so deep and far.

"Unless Zhao Qing was really inspired by heaven and opened his mind? The old man doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, otherwise he can't explain Zhao Qing's strangeness. ”

When the world was crossing the river by feeling the stones in the fog, this man alone seemed to know the depth of the water, and he was at the forefront.

He is either an evil ghost from Huangquan, or a divine envoy from Haotian, how can Shi Mo stay away from such a person and be careful?

"I see."

Zhao Wuxian was relieved, and he smiled: "Many years ago, on the day of my crown ceremony, after following my father into the family temple, he asked me the same question when facing the coffins of my ancestors and ancestors. ”

Zhao Wuxian especially remembered that Zhao Yinghu looked him directly into the eyes, as if he wanted to see him through.

"If you think about it carefully, since you were born, you have always been unremarkable, cold and afraid of people, except for being able to endure humiliation, it seems to have no other characteristics, and it is somewhat similar to the early years of the imperial examination. Why, since the winter solstice last year, has suddenly become wise and wise, forge ahead, and make no end to strange and ingenious things, and some new systems have also amazed me...... Can you tell the Father, and tell the ancestors present, what is the reason for this!? ”

It's like yesterday.

Shi Mo stood up and stared at Zhao Wuxian: "How did Zhao Qing answer at that time?" ”

"I interpret it in terms of dreams, and some of my own whimsical ideas and clever things are mostly seen by chance in dreams."

"Not really?"

"No, it's just prevarication, not all the truth."

"And what about the facts?"

Who are you? What about people? What the hell? God? Where did it come from? Death? Nine days?

How do you want to take this era and where do you want to take her? Is it destruction, or is it rebirth?

That's what Smoker wants to know.

"I'm Zhao Wuxian, and I'm not Zhao Wuxian."

At this moment, Zhao Wuxian was very relaxed, like a barber who knew the king's donkey ears, when he told the truth in the tree hole, if the person in front of him was still stubborn, he was a dead man, and the dead man could not leak secrets.

He smiled brightly, as if the two had introduced themselves to each other for the first time, and said to Tai Shimo: "It may be hard to believe that Tai Shi is from the future, two thousand five hundred years later!" ”
