More than two years have passed, Qionghua Palace is still careful to maintain the appearance of Zichu when he left, the palace maids and eunuchs are very careful when cleaning, only wipe off the floating dust, other things, as small as a hair that fell on the pillow at the beginning of Zichu, as large as a book she didn't finish under the window, and a flute on the wall, they didn't dare to move half a minute.

No matter how busy he is every day after retiring from the court, Yi Buqun has to go to Qionghua Palace to sit down, and then he can go back to his bedroom to rest with peace of mind.

It's just that the woman in his memory has been gone for too long, so long that Yi Buqun sometimes wonders if her memory is something he imagined out of thin air, and such a woman has never existed in the world.

This woman will glare at him and be angry with him, dare to contradict him and disobey him, but she will have a smile that is so beautiful and happy that he will feel blind, which can calm his mind, forget the bloody darkness for a while, and feel happy and peaceful.

Why did God let her appear in front of him, and ruthlessly took her away when he was at his happiest and most satisfied?!

Now she must be alive and well! It is said that she not only became a princess, but also gave birth to a daughter. By the side of the man who snatched her from him, the man who suddenly appeared in his life and became his worst enemy!

Every time he thinks of this, Yi Buqun can't wait to tear Jun Yuchen to pieces, he hates, he has never hated a person so much!

Even when the royal brother wanted to frame him and put him to death, and the queen mother tricked him into drinking poisonous wine, he never hated it so much.

is Jun Yuchen, who not only took away the only beloved woman in his life, but also used all kinds of despicable means to destroy the foundation of the country he had worked so hard to gain.

To this day, although he still talks and laughs freely and dignified when facing his ministers in the court. But he knew it in his heart. It was only a matter of time before Xiangluo Kingdom fell to the country, and sometimes even he wondered if it was because he had killed all his relatives, so God did this to him, but didn't his so-called relatives press him step by step and kill them all? He's not wrong!

What is wrong is that God let him be born in this world, but he taught him to meet such a fierce enemy!

Everything he got was obtained with great difficulty after repeated cruel sacrifices. But Jun Yuchen easily had it without much effort. Whether it's a country or a beauty......

He was not reconciled. Very unwilling.

Even if he didn't want to know, the good news of this natural enemy still came one by one.

In Yunzhou, Zichu began to recruit officials by subject classification on a large scale, and won the support of the people, and even the Western Shu Kingdom and some people who were unwilling to do so in Xiangluo Country secretly sneaked to Yunzhou to take the exam.

In addition, after Zichu returned to Yunzhou, the local weather was beautiful, and the grain was harvested year after year, and the refugees of Xishu were borrowed to help the refugees of Xishu State survive the winter, and a large number of people of Xishu State migrated to Jinxu Kingdom.

On the border shoreline between Xiangluo and Jin Xuguo, Jun Yusulfone has begun to secretly manufacture new warships and merchant ships according to the design drawings given by Zichu. These boats may seem ordinary, but they can continue to sail after they run aground in the water or collide with other ships!

Since then, Jin Xuguo's previously weakly defended Longjiang River has been tightly guarded, and Yi Buqun's army has launched many attacks but failed.

Because of the example of Yunzhou, Jun Yusulfone agreed very much after reading it. The new tax system began to be implemented in the territory of the former Jin Xuguo, and the burden on the people was immediately reduced a lot, and the public opinion was very good, and the treasury benefited a lot.

On the side of Xiangluoguo, there is bad news one after another.

First of all, the army stationed in Xishu was attacked, and the troops were lost.

On the way back to Xiangluo, the stolen grain and grass were attacked by displaced people and looted.

The monarchs and ministers of the Western Shu State saw that the people's attack on the army sent by Yi Buqun was quite effective, and began to take the opportunity to organize the incorporation of displaced people into the army, and the resistance of Yi Buqun's army became more and more fierce each time.

Then, it was Zuo Zengchun who was seriously injured in the assassination and recuperated at home.

The next day, Youcheng was assassinated and killed, the head of the household department resigned, and the department of rites fell ill......

On the second day, the military department issued another urgent report, and it had not been paid a single military salary for nearly a year, and the supply of troops was insufficient.

Then there was an emergency in the treasury, and no one cared about the sellers......

A large number of domestic businesses have closed down and disappeared for no reason, which has a great impact, and the affected businesses have closed their doors one after another.

Rumors spread in the capital, and people's hearts fluctuated.

Later, more than a dozen officials were found out, and because they were involved in foreign countries, they were all sentenced to be beheaded, and the Beijing officials were suddenly silent.

Then there is the famine in five states and counties, and there is no harvest, and there are already rumors of the tragic situation of changing children and eating land among the victims.

Riots in the Southwest......

Plague broke out in Mexi......

All the bad things that can be thought of and can't be imagined are happening one by one. The kingdom of Xiangluo is already in danger, and it will be defeated with a single blow at the end.

It was at this time that Yi Buqun really understood that he had felt that he had made great achievements over the years, but it turned out that there was a fierce tiger entrenched on his side, waiting for him to be exhausted in the Xiangluo Kingdom and then come forward to share and eat it, he finally knew that when he wanted to annex the Xishu Kingdom that day, why did Jin Xu Guo change his way to secretly help!

It turns out that all this is just the praying mantis of the Jun brothers, catching cicadas and yellow finches!

In the midst of extreme dreary depression, Yi Buqun finished another morning court, and he didn't know how long his calm performance could reassure the ministers under the steps? I'm afraid everyone knows it.

Seeing the ministers who saluted him in fear, Yi Buqun turned around and sneered, and called Lai Xiong Song to drive out of the palace to visit Zuo Zengchun.

These days, only Lai Xiong Song is still standing behind him as energetically as a javelin.

Thinking about these cronies who followed him all the way to the capital to seize the throne, now he is the only one who is still standing by his side, and the other henchmen are either killed on the battlefield, or they are still leading the army to fight outside, and some have died in assassination, and there is also Zuo Zengchun who is seriously injured and can't stand up.

When I arrived at Zuofu, I saw Zuo Zengchun lying on the bed, his face was gray, and half of his body couldn't move. Medicine and food are often fed here and spit out there. He was less than forty years old, but at the moment he looked like an old man in his mid-sixties.

is really in response to that sentence, Lian Po is old, can he still eat?

The two monarchs and ministers were relatively silent, and there was no need for false comfort between them, let alone disdain to learn from the cowardly and sigh. It's just that before Yi Buqun got up and left, Zuo Zengchun struggled and said, "Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body!" ”

Yi Buqun looked at this loyal old subordinate, and saw from his eyes that he faintly decisively --- the defeat of Xiangluo Country was irretrievable, and Zuo Zengchun said this sentence to plan to martyr the country and say his final goodbye to Yi Buqun.

Yi Buqun nodded at him, and then walked out of the room.

In winter, it was dark very early, and after Yi Buqun's car left Zuofu, he drove towards the palace, and there were some people kneeling on the side of the road, in rags, and the thin shadows looked particularly desolate in the snow.

After the car passed, I seemed to hear the faint cry of the nearby houses, mixed with the north wind, which was indescribably uncomfortable to hear in the winter night.

Yi Buqun sat in the car, as if he had figured out something. The first thing he did after returning to the palace was to walk into Qionghua Palace first, where the palace maids and eunuchs were accustomed to the emperor's daily arrival, and carefully retreated outside the palace gate to wait.

Everything in Qionghua Palace is as usual, and there is a portrait of a lady painted by Yi Buqun on the wall, the beauty in the painting is smiling like a flower, and her eyes are clear and soft with a little naughty and cunning, which is exactly what Yi Buqun has seen on the Red Holy Mountain.

Yi Buqun walked slowly around the hall, gently brushing over every object he had used in the first place, and finally returned to the portrait. Stretched out his hand and gently stroked the eyebrows and eyes of the person in the painting, and said softly: "I'm fed up with the portrait of you every day, and I miss you for these dead things!" I don't have anything left, I ...... Just one who is true to you. ”

After speaking, his fingertips exhaled, and with a hiss, the image shattered into pieces of confetti and fell to his feet.

The eunuchs and maids waiting outside the palace were startled by the loud noise coming from the palace, and they looked at each other but did not dare to enter at will, because they knew that the emperor would never allow them to go in and disturb them at this time.

It wasn't until later, when smoke and fire came out of the doors and windows, that the palace maids and eunuchs knew that something was wrong.

In this hall, there is a grass, and a chess piece is the emperor's cherished treasure, if it is burned...... The consequences are unimaginable.

Just when everyone was about to find someone to put out the fire and enter to invite the emperor out, they saw Yi Buqun walking out of the hall with a calm face and his head held high, ignoring the smoke and flames behind him.

Could it be ...... This fire was set by the emperor?!

So, can you still save it?

The palace maids and eunuchs didn't dare to say much, and when they saw Yi Buqun walking away, they hurriedly dispersed and packed up their belongings and withdrew from Qionghua Palace. The originally gorgeous hall was burned to a piece of rubble and scorched earth in full view of everyone.

Yi Buqun walked alone to the high place of the white jade steps in front of the Jinluan Palace, the cold wind of the winter night whistled and hit his face, Yi Buqun did not feel cold, what really made him feel cold was the chill emanating from the depths of his heart.

Looking at the eunuch guards behind him who couldn't hide their horror and trembling, Yi Buqun suddenly felt bored, he once thought that by becoming the emperor, he could kill all the people he wanted to kill, enjoy the wealth of the world, and make everyone tremble and submit to his feet.

These things that he had once longed for seemed so disgusting to him now.

He's had enough!

That night, according to Yi Buqun's orders, the eunuchs gathered all the concubines, princes, and princesses in the palace to the long-vacant Yongning Palace, and greeted them with three-foot white silk and cups of poisonous wine.

Then he came to the cold palace, and in a dilapidated corner, a figure curled up in tattered clothes, shivering in the cold. I saw that this man was full of gray and scattered hair, sunken eye sockets, wrinkled, ugly and deformed face, and it was no longer possible to see the true face of this person.

The tall black figure slowly approached, picked up the man's collar with one hand, and said softly: "Queen Mother, I have come to relieve you......"

The cold light flashed in his hand, and a snow-bright dagger sank into the man's left chest, and the man tilted his head to die with a grunt in his throat.

The person who came was Yi Buqun, he looked at the corpse on the ground, and sneered: "Hahaha, I, sure enough, sure enough...... Slaughter the father's and mother's family...... Sure enough, it's a lonely star! ”
