As winter progresses, the weather gets colder and colder.

The top and bottom of Shu have changed into winter clothes, the family has mink fur jackets, and the people have also changed into cotton clothes.

The colder the weather, the more serious the illness of Xia Yunhua, the king of Shu. The doors and windows of the palace of the King of Shu were closed, and the charcoal fire inside continued day and night. But even so, Xia Yunhua on the sickbed still felt cold.

The palace was dim, and an old attendant walked in with small steps. The attendant who was originally serving by Xia Yunhua's side saw this regular attendant, immediately lowered his head and withdrew quietly.

Xia Yunhua was lying on the couch, there was no trace of blood on his pale face, and when he saw this old servant, he barely squeezed out a smile on his face.

"Uncle Jian, are you coming?"

"King, what you asked the old slave to do has been done."

This Jian Chang attendant is the oldest chamberlain in the Shu Palace. When Emperor Qi Xia Hengye was alive, he was in the inner court of the Shendu, loyal and serving the Xia family. Over the years, seeing that the world of the Great Zhou Dynasty was in turmoil, these old men also followed Xia Yunhua, and this Xia orthodox entered the Shu land.

"I let Ni'er follow Yang Xian to learn government affairs these days, how is it?"

Xia Yunhua sat up with the support of Jian Changshi, a little struggling.

Jian Changshou frowned and shook his head.

"Then Yang Xian took Her Royal Highness the Empress Dowager to eat, drink and have fun day and night, and often used Her Royal Highness the Empress as bait to pit those big families."

"Oh?" Xia Yunhua was not only angry, but also showed a sense of joy on his face. "Is Nir happy?"

Jian Chang was stunned for a moment, and his face gradually became suspicious, wondering if this Xia Yunhua was sick and confused, and admonished: "King, then Yang Xian is just making enemies everywhere." Her Royal Highness is the future lord of Yizhou, and following Yang Xian like this is really not the way of the master! ”

Xia Yunhua said helplessly: "It's not the master of the people, isn't it also good?" To put it irreverently, this Great Zhou Jiangshan has already been almost defeated by several of my ancestors. ”

"The King's ......."

Jian Chang wanted to say something consoling, but just as he spoke, he didn't know what to say?

"Although my sister is the empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty, she sits in the Shendu. But anyone with a discerning eye can see that she is just a puppet in Liang Wu's hands. In this world, if you say that it has changed, it may change. Although I can't see the Xia clan changing hands, it's hard to say. If one day, Liang Wu takes away my Xia clan's country, then Neer, the Xia clan's orthodoxy, is a thorn in his side. At that time, with the land of Shu and one state, how can it compete with the Huan clan, which owns the seven states of the Central Plains? ”

Everyone said that Xia Yunhua was mediocre, but in Jian Chang's opinion, this king was more than intelligent, but his heart was insufficient. She saw the general trend of the world clearly, but she was a little helpless.

"King, if you were willing to work hard back then, you wouldn't have had the strength to fight!"

When Xia Yunhua entered Shu, he held the land of Yizhou and commanded an army of 100,000. At that time, Huan Wu was just an exiled prince with thousands of soldiers and horses.

But thirty years have passed, and Xia Yunhua's territory is not more. However, Liang Hou Huanwu was fighting in the east and west, destroying the princes, and hundreds of thousands of troops under his command gathered, and the two were already incomparable.

"Uncle Jian has learned a lesson!"

Facing this loyal servant of the Xia family, who watched him grow up since he was a child, Xia Yunhua was a little coquettish.

"It's just that now, I have to think about Nirvana!"

"What does the king mean?"

"My sister was born at the wrong time. If she had been born thirty years earlier, with her intelligence, I would not have been like this. It's just that by now, it's too late. The virtue of the Son of Heaven is there, and if the Huan family wants to usurp the throne, he will definitely not be truthful, and he will definitely give preferential treatment to the royal family of the previous dynasty. The more foolish and ignorant Ni'er is, the more relieved Huan Wu will be. When the time comes, you may be able to end up rich. ”

Jian Changshi took a deep breath, he didn't expect that Xia Yunhua would be so attentive.

After saying these words, Xia Yunhua coughed twice, and her lips were a little dry.

"King, you lie down first!"

Xia Yunhua moved, but the cough became more and more severe, she grabbed Jian Changshi's somewhat shriveled and withered old hand, and begged: "Uncle Jian, protect Nirvana, okay?" ”

Jian Chang's heart was sour, and he didn't feel that there was a tear left in the corner of his eye. He patted Xia Yunhua's hand and comforted, "Don't worry, the old slave will definitely protect Her Royal Highness from being wronged." ”

"Then I'm relieved!"

Yang House.

"Young master, the Huang family's fine has been sent to the mansion."

Looking at the bright silver in the box, Xia Gong Nirvana fell to the mouth of the box, and the saliva at the corner of his mouth almost flowed out.

She trotted to Yang Xian, who was sitting on the couch, took his hand, and said coquettishly: "Father, will we divide the money now?" ”

"Your Highness, you go to sleep first, and then you will talk about it when you get up tomorrow."

Xia Gong Ni glanced at the box of silver with some unease, as if she was afraid that when she woke up tomorrow morning, the silver would be gone. She had some minor grievances, but in the end she compromised. After all, the Great Demon King also has a cute side.

"Alright then!"

Yang Xian took a candy from the box on the side and threw it upward. Like a kitten, Natsumiya Nirvana caught the candy with her mouth and chewed it, looking satisfied.

Yang Chun watched Xia Gongne's figure disappear at the end of the corridor and said, "Young Master, you have made enemies everywhere recently. The minister is worried, I'm afraid this is not good for the young master! ”

Yang Xian laughed, but Yang Chun's old face was full of doubts.

"Master Chun, do you know that there are servants in the palace?"

"The old guy?" Yang Chun followed Yang Zhong into Shu back then, and had some dealings with the internal officials of the Xia family, and had some impressions of that Jian Chang servant, and finally gave a praise, "A little ability!" ”

To be able to make Yang Chun, the great grandmaster, give such a comment, and think that Jian Chang's skills are also extraordinary.

"The king is seriously ill, but he asked that attendant to create a pair of tableware for the summer palace!"

"Cutlery?"

Yang Chun said with some puzzlement.

"Golden bowl, jade spoon, ivory chopstick!"

"How does the king's move look like..."

Yang Chun said this, but he didn't say any more.

"Like a rich man, isn't he?"

Yang Xian didn't have any taboos, and said it directly.

"The emperor has passed down, what do the ancestors have to leave for the younger generations? or a warning to the world, or a secret technique of governing the country. But the king, but he directly sent a set of tableware. Jun Ye knows what this means? ”

Yang Chun said for a while, he understood very well that perhaps ordinary people take wealth as their lifelong goal, but for an emperor, it is not a good thing to seek wealth and nobility. Perhaps it is more appropriate to describe it as unambitious and ignorant. If it is recorded by historians, it will be a scandal that laughs at the ages.

"Everyone says that the king of Shu is ignorant. But in my opinion, the king is so clever that he even arranges his daughter's retreat clearly. Tie me to the warship and keep me in front of me, lest the great families of the families seek to murder the young king. If he is the Liang army to attack Shu in the future, the Xia clan can also borrow the power of those big families to push me out and offer the Huan clan. Anyway, in the end, Xia Gong Nirvana will still be rich and noble for life. ”

"Young master, what should we do then?" Yang Chun is Yang Xian's retainer, and he has no loyalty to the Xia family.

Yang Xian smiled, with a faint smile.

"The world can descend to the Huan clan, but I Yang Xian can't. But since she tied me to this boat, she couldn't get off if she wanted to! ”
