March has passed, but the DPRK is still very busy, the fat of Qi is not so smooth to chew, a great drought and the disaster of destroying the country, Qi no longer has a decent city. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
On the street, the officers and soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty searched for Qi soldiers with knives, and those refugees fled in panic when they saw the officers and soldiers from a distance.
The emperor originally wanted to appoint King Qing to go to the state of Qi to guard it, but for some reason, King Qing insisted on refusing to go, but King Shun volunteered to go, and the emperor frowned and did not agree.
In the end, this burden still fell on the shoulders of Liu Ziqi, the nine-emperor prince who was only thirteen years old, and it was not really for him to bear this burden, but he was just temporarily guarding the Qi country as the prince of Qi.
King Shun also fell at ease, Chu Shenxia was awarded the title of Sipin Xiaocai General because of his outstanding performance in this battle, and he even had his own independent house.
To Chu Shenxia's surprise, when he moved out of the palace, Jing Min had no intention of moving away with him, but leaned against the door and waved his hand, and he didn't even have such treatment as being sent to the door.
However, Yongming came out to send him off for the first time, which made Chu Shenxia a little flattered.
After the destruction of the Qi State, the Thirteen Princes hanged themselves in a cell, but the emperor did not immediately dispose of Yongming, and had been waiting for news from the Lu State. However, King Shun tried his best to protect Yongming and argued for it, the emperor knew that he had wronged King Shun before, and was thinking about what to reward to make up for him, how could he let go of such a great opportunity?
At the right time, the monarch of Lu personally wrote a letter, to the effect that Yongming was really stupid and was used by others, and finally expressed his willingness to cut ten cities to make up for the big mistake made by Yongming.
The emperor gladly accepted this double benefit, and immediately ordered Yongming to be released from prison and sent to the Shun Palace, but in this way, the controversy over Yongming's marriage to King Shun disappeared in the Southern Song Dynasty, and in everyone's opinion, Princess Yongming must marry King Shun.
The emperor also acquiesced to this statement, and sent a reply letter to Lu Jun that night, which wrote that Yongming would marry King Shun, and the two countries would be reconciled forever.
And after Yongming was released from prison, the whole person was gloomy, he didn't speak, he stayed in the room all day long, and he didn't see anyone.
This time he came out to send him off, which really made Chu Shenxia sigh again, and when King Shun saw Yongming returning home, he quipped: "I think Yongming is not an ordinary concern for you." ”
The flesh on Chu Shenxia's cheeks shook, and he hurriedly argued: "Your Highness said that you are laughing, the princess is just..."
Seeing his serious face, King Shun suddenly punched him a little boringly, and said with a smile: "What about joking with you?" Always pretending to be serious, it's really unpleasant. ”
Chu Shenxia laughed along, since the battle with the Qi State, King Shun no longer seemed to be suspicious of him, but treated him sincerely, with an attitude like his own brother, and he had no intention of playing prestige at all.
"That's right." Banrong took out a few sachets from his arms and handed them to him, explaining: "The smell of the new house is not very good, these sachets are given to you, and they are hung at the head of the bed and have the purpose of repelling insects." ”
Chu Shenxia took it and saw that the embroidery on the sachet was very beautiful, so she knew that she had a heart and thanked her.
King Shun's eyes also fell on the embroidery a few times, and he said: "This sachet has such a good use, why don't you make me a few?" ”
"Haha." Banrong couldn't help laughing, and only after stopping did he reply, "Aren't all the sachets in His Highness's room made by me?" Hanging in the house every day, but His Highness is blind to it? Isn't it funny that you're still begging me for sachets? ”
"Really? I didn't notice. King Shun's eyes suddenly became much clearer, and he smiled lightly.
Chu Shenxia put away the sachet and saluted King Shun: "Your Highness, the hour is not early, I will leave here." ”
King Shun bowed slightly, watching him turn over and get on the horse in a chic manner, only to feel that his eyes were a little brighter, and he turned sideways to Banrong on the side and said, "Go in." ”
Chu Shenxia rushed to the mansion, and the subordinates were already waiting at the door, and when they saw him dismounting, they saluted in unison: "General." ”
Chu Shenxia was slightly stunned, nodded a little unaccustomedly, and walked towards the mansion. There was a little girl beside him who looked like she was only eleven or twelve years old, desperately chasing her steps, Chu Shenxia simply stopped and looked at her calmly.
She stopped abruptly and looked at Chu Shenxia a little bewildered, Chu Shenxia saw that she was silent, and simply asked, "What are you doing with me?" ”
"I... I was a maid sent to the general by Steward Ma, and Steward Ma asked me to take care of the general every step of the way. She raised her face a little nervously, touched Chu Shenxia's gaze, and hurriedly lowered her head.
"No need, go ahead of yourself." Chu Shenxia said softly, she looked at him with some hesitation, and Chu Shenxia said again: "I will call you if there is something." ”
"Yes." She responded in a trembling voice, and then stepped back, but accidentally stumbled on the steps, almost tripping, and when she saw Chu Shenxia's gaze, she bowed with an apologetic face.
Just as she was about to turn around and leave, Chu Shenxia suddenly stopped her, she turned back in shock, but saw the person in front of her smile brightly, and asked in the gentlest voice in the world, "What's your name?" ”
She was stunned for a long time and didn't react, she was sent to be the servant girl of the general's mansion when she had to sharpen the iron Brother Rong told that the generals who have been on the battlefield are all ruthless masters, cut off people's heads without even blinking their eyes, killing people is simply commonplace, so you must be careful in front of the generals, they have a bad temper, and they will kill people when they are angry.
Chu Shenxia asked again, and only then did she react, looked away in a panic, and whispered, "Qian Erqi." ”
The voice was so small that she couldn't hear it clearly, and when she was hesitating to say it again, Chu Shenxia had already pronounced her name, "Qian Erqi, Qian Erqi?" Qian Erqi..."
Every time he read his name, her heart "banged", and she didn't even dare to breathe in a panic.
"Did your father give you a name?" Chu Shenxia asked.
"I have no father or mother, and I was given the name given to me by the housekeeper of the Qian Mansion, saying that I was the twenty-seventh maid of the Qian Mansion." She explained nervously.
"Hmm... Since you have become my maid, then I will change your name" Chu Shenxia pondered for a moment, and saw that her eyes were blazing, like a deer, and immediately said: "Lu Xun, what do you think?" If you don't like it, I'll give you another nice name. ”
"Lu Xun Xie gave the name to General Xie, I like it very much!" She said in an accentuated tone, but a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes.
Chu Shenxia caught this tangle and asked, "Don't you like it?" I..."
She was frightened, and hurriedly shook her head: "No, I like it, I like, it's just... It's just that I have a small request. ”
"That's it."
"Can I have the General's last name?" She looked at Chu Shenxia very worriedly.
Chu Shenxia smiled softly and said, "I thought it was a big deal, you would call Chu Luxun in the future and go and talk to Steward Ma." ”
"Yes." She slowly retreated and walked a few meters away, thinking that Chu Shenxia couldn't see her anymore, so she ran away with a cheer.
The corners of Chu Shenxia's mouth couldn't help but smile, and he didn't retract his smile until he entered the room, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a person standing in front of his desk, his back was cold, but it gave people invisible pressure.
The man turned around slowly, and his eyes were indelible vicissitudes, but he hadn't seen him for a few days, and he was much older.
Chu Shenxia bowed down and said, "Prince." ”
But I heard him reply coldly: "Prince? Which dynasty and which generation of princes? It's too funny that the general Xiaocai calls me the prince. ”
Chu Shenxia bowed his head and was silent.
The waste prince slowly approached him, and said without detouring at all: "The death of the Qi Kingdom, I never imagined that it would be such a result, and the most unexpected thing for me is that you actually turned your back on me and planned this country for King Shun in private." ”
Chu Shenxia was still silent, as a courtier, it was indeed he who turned his back on him, and he had nothing to say.
Seeing that he didn't speak, the anger in his heart surged up, he thought that he would defend himself a few words, but now it seems that he has confirmed his statement, and there is no need to justify, seeing that he seems to have a decisive intention, he involuntarily raised his voice and asked: "Do you remember that I told you that you are not suitable for these methods, and it is better to quit as soon as possible?" Do you remember how you answered? ”
Chu Shenxia's brows tightened, and his throat seemed to be blocked.
"You said you would do everything in my power to do your best!" The waste prince's right hand was raised fiercely, the bright knife light flashed between the sleeves, and a dagger was firmly pressed against his chest, the waste prince's eyes were full of ruthlessness, and he laughed angrily: "I have known you for so many years, I thought you would understand my ambitions, but I didn't expect my sincerity to be a big disappointment, you don't work for me, it's just a matter of using my trust in you to curry favor with King Shun, in exchange for this horseman general!" You know it clearly, I don't just treat you as a strategist, but more of a confidant, and I Liu Yu did everything in vain, and I was defeated in your hands. ”
After saying that, the cruelty in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by endless sadness and sadness, Chu Shenxia was very sour in his heart, looked at him blankly, and said with great difficulty: "Prince..."
"Don't call me Prince!" The waste prince yelled and interrupted his words, gritted his teeth and looked at the pale man in front of him, clenched the dagger in his hand tightly, and used so much force that his knuckles turned white, but he couldn't do anything, touching his ashamed eyes, his heart softened slightly, and said softly: "You didn't tell him that I was the mastermind, can you tell me why?" ”
The two were silent for a long time, and the waste prince waited for a long time and didn't see him reply, just when he thought he wouldn't answer, he slowly spit out three words, "I'm sorry." ”
These three words are enough to represent everything, and it is difficult to recover from the water, and he means that there is no room for half a penny to turn around.
The waste prince's eyelids jumped extremely quickly, and the emotions in his eyes disappeared in an instant, leaving only hollow eyes.
As soon as the dagger in his hand was forced, it slashed across his chest, and a big hole was suddenly cut in his robe, and the waste prince put away the knife in his hand, took a step back, and his voice was as cold as if he had frozen: "You and I cut off our robes today, and when we meet again, we will fight with knives." ”
Chu Shenxia's whole person was like a decadent, standing in place and unable to move at all, cutting his robe and breaking his righteousness, he really came to this point.
He has imagined countless times, and he has admitted to himself countless times, Liu Yu is undoubtedly the most suitable person to be the Son of Heaven among the princes of the Southern Song Dynasty, the first person in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the first person in the Kyushu Continent.
His ambitions and ambitions are something that he can never catch up with, and they are beyond the reach of King Shun. The Southern Song Dynasty will become stronger and stronger under his rule, and it will also unify the divided Kyushu continent. However, Chu Shenxia didn't know why, the trend in his heart was uncontrollable at all, and he went to help King Shun as if he had fallen into an evil spirit, even if King Shun never said that he wanted him to be his advisor from beginning to end, even if King Shun had no intention of sitting on the throne of the Son of Heaven at all, but he just couldn't control it.
Chu Shenxia closed his eyes and sighed deeply, although the Southern Song Dynasty needed to be strong so that it would not be bullied by foreign enemies, but under the prestige, all the people would not be able to return to their hearts.
