[114] Finale IV

Many civil and military officials in the capital city did not know the origin of Yan Ziwen. [Read this book, please go to His Majesty the Emperor, who has known that he has not been close to women for more than three years, to go to Izumo Province and bring back a woman.] It is said that the woman is glamorous, and she is a woman who will be fascinated by a man's heart when he sees it.

Moreover, it is said that the woman also had a daughter.

How can this be?

His Majesty the Emperor has been on the throne for more than three years without accepting a single concubine or concubine, and now he has left so many political affairs and brought back such a woman after three months of going to Izumo Province. How can this be?

As a result, many civil and military officials knelt down in front of the imperial study and begged him, the emperor, to dispose of the "demon girl" he had brought back from Izumo Province.

In the imperial study, Mu Heng sat in front of the bookcase, and Shen Pengcheng and several other henchmen of Mu Heng told Mu Heng about the important things that happened in the entire Ming Chu Kingdom a few months after he left Haojing.

"Your Majesty, more than two months ago, someone dug up a sacred stone in the northern suburbs of the pickaxe capital, and the sacred stone read...... It reads, 'Tyrants are in charge, the world is in chaos'. Although this matter was quickly suppressed, there were rumors about it. The ministers examined the matter in detail. I found out that this thing was the ghost of the remnants of King Chengyang, who tried in vain to slander Your Majesty with the way of heaven. ”

Mu Heng sneered and chuckled, "In all dynasties, I don't know how many people like to engage in this kind of trick. It doesn't matter, a tyrant is a tyrant, I have been scolded for more than three years and I don't mind being labeled as a tyrant again. ”

Mu Heng was so indifferent that several officials in the audience looked at each other.

It was Shen Pengcheng who stood up and said, "Your Majesty, if it's like before, this matter can really be ignored." But many of the civil and military officials also knew about it. Right now, Your Majesty, you've brought back another woman from Izumo Province. The civil and military officials were inevitably worried that the emperor would repeat the mistakes of Xia Ji and Zhou Youwang because of a woman. ”

Mu Heng's evil eyes narrowed, his slender fingers tapped on the table, and he stood up from his seat.

With his hands behind his back, he walked out of the imperial study with a tall body. At the door of the imperial study, the civil and military officials who knelt on the ground saw him, and all their fingers and jade wat kowtowed to him in unison.

The midday sun shone across the palace. The civil and military officials looked up at him against the light, his whole body was shrouded in golden luster, and even the hair on his head seemed to be quenched with a faint luster. The whole person is sacred and inviolable.

"Your Majesty, if you are not of my race, your heart will be different. Your Majesty, the woman you brought back ......"

Among the hundreds of civil and military officials, there was an upright Qingliu official who just opened his mouth to admonish Mu Heng. But it has been forcibly interrupted by Mu Heng, and the corners of Mu Heng's mouth habitually raised a light smile, which made him a little more Huihua when he was already handsome and unhuman, "I used to be a eunuch serving Emperor Hanxuan. Once, an adult surnamed Liu presented a peerless beauty to Emperor Han Xuan. Emperor Han Xuan pampered her a few months later. There is a book of imperial history from the Imperial History Observatory to impeach the emperor and let the emperor kill that beauty. Emperor Han Xuan failed to withstand the accusations of the imperial history and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and finally killed the woman. To be honest, I despised Emperor Han Xuan and those civil and military officials who could only make noise. ”

When Mu Heng said this, a cold light had already appeared in his evil eyes.

"The world likes to blame women for the collapse of a country. It is as if those kings who destroyed the country would not have met those beauties who 'brought disaster to the country and the people', and the country would not have fallen. Hehe, what a naïve point of view. I've always felt like that. Those who destroy the six countries are also the six countries, and the Qin people are also Qin. The so-called red face is just an excuse used by useless men to hide their incompetence. Why should I be allowed to absorb the bullshit rules from incompetent kings? I just put another cruel word, you ministers can kneel as much as you like today, I am not a cowardly Emperor Hanxuan, and I do not accept your hypocritical human ethics. ”

After his resounding words fell, the civil and military officials were stunned for a moment by his words. Especially the civil servants.

Which of them, the civil officials who entered the court as officials, has not read Zhu Xi and other sciences. It is believed that men are the sky and women are the grass.

But the set of words that their emperor just said was really shocking.

After reacting, these civil and military officials kowtowed in unison, shouting, "Your Majesty, think twice!" ”

Think twice?

Mu Heng scolded in his heart, flicked his sleeves and left, leaving everyone in the audience with a cold and arrogant back.

As soon as he left, the civil and military officials still refused to get up and leave. Shen Pengcheng glanced at the civil and military officials who were still kneeling on the ground, and sighed in his heart.

Although his uncle knew the true identity of his niece, he was also secretly worried, afraid that Mu Heng would one day not be able to carry these civil and military officials, and he would give in at that time.

When Mu Heng returned to the previous Jiuhua Palace, the eunuchs at the door were just about to go inside, but they were stopped by Mu Heng. When Mu Heng walked into the inner hall of Jiuhua Palace, he found that Yan Ziwen, who was running all the way, was already holding two children, and the three of them were sleeping quietly on the bed.

Mu Heng's cold and hard heart when facing the civil and military officials softened suddenly.

A gentle smile tugged at the corners of his mouth, and he also lay down on the bed lightly.

In the hall, the gilded incense burner burns with a good smell, and the curling smoke spreads throughout the inner hall, making the whole inner hall more and more peaceful.

With one side of his head, facing Yan Ziwen's sleeping face, Mu Heng stretched out his hand with a doting look and traced her facial features and appearance. Then, like a fool, he couldn't help but grin silently.

As soon as Xiao Guo'er opened her worried eyes, she saw that her father was looking at the sleeping queen mother with a foolish expression.

He opened his mouth, lowered his voice and said in disgust, "Father, your saliva is going to flow down......"

Mu Heng gently pressed his head, glared at him, and said softly, "Little child, go to sleep!" ”

Xiao Guo'er felt very innocent, so she arched lightly in Yan Ziwen's arms, and continued to close her eyes and fall asleep. After Mu Heng waited for Xiaoguo'er to fall asleep, he stretched out his long arms and took Yan Ziwen and the two children in her arms into his arms.

A feeling of happiness permeates my heart.

In fact, in his opinion, he is really not a "smart" emperor. In order to be good emperors, the "smart" emperors worked hard to abide by the guidelines handed down by the emperors of previous dynasties.

Among the criteria of these emperors, it is natural to include the three thousand beauties of the harem. There are 3,000 beauties in the harem, which can restrain the forces of all parties in the previous dynasty.

But he was a "fool", and he chose the most difficult path to walk.

After more than three years of monkhood, he didn't dare to say how much he had. But he couldn't bear her in his heart, they lived and died together as husband and wife, even though everyone told him at the time that she was dead. He still didn't want to let go of her in his heart, and he was afraid that any ambiguity he had with other women would desecrate the relationship between their husband and wife.

The vicissitudes of life, the cruelty of the world are also warm.

Fortunately, God had eyes and sent her back to him.

just hugged her tightly, and then guarded the two children with her to grow up. It was the happiest thing he could imagine.

Oops, it seems that he is really a "useless" emperor who only thinks about hot kang heads with his wife and children.

Sighing helplessly for himself, he also gently closed his eyelids and fell asleep with the three "sweet burdens" in his arms.

When I woke up again, it was already dark.

Outside the door of the imperial study, the civil and military officials who had come to advise still did not leave.

Mu Heng didn't take those civil and military officials to heart. Seeing that Yan Ziwen, who had been running on the road for more than a month, her spirit had almost recovered.

He took her and her two children overnight to visit her in the temple where the former Empress Dowager Shen practiced. The Shen family, who had known the news for a long time, and the old lady Shen, who didn't often walk around the court due to physical discomfort, and Shen Pengcheng, they were already waiting at the gate of the temple very early.

When mother and daughter meet, it is naturally a mixture of joy and sorrow.

Mrs. Shen and his wife watched this reunion scene from the side, and their eyes were already wet with tears.

"It's good to be back...... It's good to be back...... My old bones can even see my daughter-in-law again...... God has been so kind to me......"

Old Lady Shen said with red eyes.

Shen Pengcheng was deeply afraid that his father would be worried, and he kept persuading them on the side.

Yan Ziwen then introduced Fu'er to her relatives.

Fu'er hid timidly in Yan Zi'er's arms, and when the Shen family and the others saw Fu'er, it was like seeing Yan Zi'er when they were young. Naturally, he loves Fu'er like a treasure.

After getting to know each other, the two children were taken out to play.

Several adults had to discuss Yan Ziwen's future affairs. Macro estimation.

The Shen family hopes to announce Yan Ziwen's identity to the public, so that the entire Ming and Chu people know that her baby daughter is not a demon girl, and the identity of her baby daughter can be completely matched with Mu Heng.

Old lady Shen, a person like them who has been trained in the court, thinks differently from what Shen thinks.

The previous dynasty has already been subverted, and the hundred-year-old foundation of the Baili family has already collapsed. The reason why the civil and military officials were able to accept Xiao Guo'er as the crown prince before was not only because their Shen lineage played a pivotal role in the court, but also because the world thought that his mother was dead, and there was no one from the Baili family to influence him.

If you come to tell the world now, the Ninth Princess, who died more than three years ago, has come back to life and came back with a strange face.

Everyone in the world will find it ridiculous.

And if she is instigated by someone with a heart again, the people of Ming Chu Kingdom may also accuse her, the ninth princess of the former dynasty, of being unkind and shameless.

married a man who subverted the Baili family, and shamelessly became the queen of the new dynasty.

This is what the morality of the people of this dynasty can allow.

Moreover, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are now eager to catch her as a "demon girl", and if they know her true identity, they will attack her in groups.

For now, it's best not to mention her former identity to the public.

As soon as Mrs. Shen analyzed this, Shen immediately felt sorry for Yan Ziwen again, hugged her daughter's shoulder, and looked at Mu Heng, "Mu Heng, she has suffered so much, and now she has finally come back." But she couldn't show her identity to the outside world, she was so wronged. ”

Shen still hopes that Mu Heng will take good care of her baby daughter in the future.

Yan Ziwen smiled with her eyebrows, but in turn comforted the Shen family, "Queen Mother, it's actually quite good now." Although we can't recover our identities, God has been very good to us. In the future, our mother and daughter can see each other often. ”

Go back to the carriage.

Mu Heng's hand in his wide sleeve held Yan Zi's hand tightly, "Sister-in-law, in order to let you be with me, I have to wronged you not to mention your previous identity to the outside world in the future...... I'm so sorry for you. ”

Yan Ziwen shook her head with a smile, leaned lightly on Mu Heng's shoulder, and looked quiet, "Didn't you say before that you wanted to raise me into a pig?" I think you've made it by now...... I'm getting dumber...... Others don't want me anymore, so I have no choice but to rely on you in the future. ”

Mu Heng touched her head dotingly, "Well, I will continue to be a pig farmer for the rest of my life." Strive to raise your little pig fat and fat...... "The province was remembered by Shao Yunyun of Izumo Country.

The little fruit in Mu Heng's arms poked his head out of his arms, and touched Fu'er's head in a similar way, learning from Mu Heng's appearance, and doting, "Well, when I grow up, I will also raise Fu'er as a pig, and strive to raise her fat and fat." ”

Mu Heng was already slapping him on the ass with a smile.

The entire space of the carriage was filled with laughter for a while.

After kneeling in front of the imperial study for three days and three nights, some of them fell into a coma due to physical exhaustion. Later, those officials saw that Mu Heng was determined, and they were not prepared to deal with the "demon girl" at all.

These officials began to use drastic tactics.

Someone hit the pillar on the spot and prepared to die; Someone handed Mu Heng a blood letter; There were people who were encouraged to write petitions for all peoples......

The one who hit the pillar was watched by the brocade guard arranged by Mu Heng, and he would only hit the layers of flesh walls.

The one who wrote the blood book was sent back to the house by Mu Heng, and the imperial doctors of the entire Tai Hospital were guarding that person, and as soon as he cut his fingers, more than ten imperial doctors bandaged his wounds.

Encouraging the people to write petitions for all nations...... Just kidding, the people are well fed and clothed, so they don't care which woman the emperor is sleeping with in his arms today.

……

In short, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth. Mu Heng broke them one by one. In the end, although the hearts of those civil and military officials were still not used to the "demon girl" from Izumo Province, there was no means to compete with the emperor again.

Mu Heng took advantage of the victory to pursue, and successively promulgated various laws.

People always like a comfortable life.

When the people live a life of abundance and food, they will naturally not remember the bad life of the past.

They used to think that the entire Ming and Chu kingdoms belonged to the Baili family, and only the bloodline of the orthodox Baili family was qualified to rule them.

But that doesn't seem to be the case at all.

After Mu Heng, a usurper, ascended the throne, their taxes were lighter, water conservancy was built in various places, irrigation was easier, and the grain they planted could have a bumper harvest.

Although this kind of life is not too good, it is much better than when the Baili family was in charge of the previous life.

The people gradually accepted Mu Heng as the emperor. The organizations that were originally established by various rogues to resist Mu Heng in various places gradually collapsed.

And many of these disintegrated organizations used to take refuge in the hands of the dead King Chengyang. Now that these organizations have collapsed, they have weakened the power in the hands of Baili Mingce and Baili Ziwei in disguise.

Seeing this, these two secretly organized assassins to assassinate Mu Heng. But after several times, it still didn't work.

The two unwilling people began to resort to treacherous tricks again, disguising Baili Ziwei as a fairy who rescued the suffering, in order to attract believers, and then used these believers to fight against Mu Heng.

It's a pity that these two people pretended to be ghosts, but they still didn't have the slightest power to shake Mu Heng.

Mu Heng ascended the throne in his fifth year.

The officials of Luzhou City led people to rush into the fairy temple where Baili Ziwei and they were hiding, and captured Baili Ziwei alive. And Baili Mingce was injured and died in the fight with the officials.

Baili Ziwei, a key criminal of the imperial court, was soon escorted to the capital of Ho.

One day and one night.

In the eerie prison.

A woman in a black cloak was surrounded by a crowd of officials and sent to the dark and damp dungeon. The prison was full of important prisoners of the imperial court. The dirty and cramped atmosphere makes people feel disgusting when they smell it.

The official who walked in front finally stopped, turned back and said to the woman behind him with a flattering face, "The person you want to see is here." But this woman is crazy, so you have to be careful. If you don't pay attention, this woman will bite you. ”

The woman in the black cloak hung her head very low, and the light in the prison was very dim, so the official did not see the woman's face clearly. And the woman nodded to him with the corners of her mouth hooked after listening to the official's words.

The official opened the door of a cell and walked out as the woman had said.

After waiting for the official to leave, Yan Ziwen walked into a cell with her feet raised and took off the hat on her head.

"My good sister, let's meet again!"

After such a familiar voice floated into the ears of Baili Ziwei, who was prostrate on the ground in a very embarrassed posture, Baili Ziwei's body shook and looked up at Yan Ziwei.

But she did have an unfamiliar face on it.

"Are you ......" Baili Ziwei frowned, squinting at the unfamiliar face.

The dim light in the prison shone on that unfamiliar face, but not long after, Baili Ziwei began to feel creepy, and the hairs on her body stood upside down.

"You, you're ...... Hundred miles of sister-in-law? She asked, horrified.

His eyes were full of shock.

Wasn't she disfigured and sold into slavery in Izumo Province?

Why did he appear in front of her again?

Baili Ziwei kept shaking her head, and suddenly seemed to be crazy, "haha" smiled, and the look on her face became vicious and disgusting, "No! You're not that slut from Bailizi! That slut has already been sold by me to Izumo Province, and now she has either been tortured to death, or life is worse than death. How can she be your ......" She was reduced to a prisoner, where could she admit that Baili Zi's fate was better than her.

The corners of Yan Ziwen's lips hooked slightly, "My good sister, if you say no, it's not." ”

It was a familiar voice that was puffing Baili Ziwei's ears again. After Baili Ziwei's pupils contracted violently a few times, her sharp nails scratched the ground of the prison, leaving a scratch.

She didn't know why Yan Ziwen survived and came back with such a strange face. But no matter what, the situation in front of her made the hatred in her heart rise again.

"Baili Ziwen, you slut, how can you still run in front of the palace with such a swagger? Yes! You slut! Slut! You're going to die! ”

In her insults, Yan Ziwen stepped forward, bent down slightly, and hooked her chin with one hand, "My good sister, I am now reunited with Mu Heng, we have a son and a daughter, I am really reluctant to die." But you, I'm a sister, didn't care about you before, so much so that I almost died outside by you. Tonight, I, as a sister, will also care about you once. ”

When Yan Ziwen said this, there was a hearty sense of pleasure on her face and tone.

"Nope! Slut! If you dare to do anything to me, I won't be able to spare you even if I die! I'm going to curse you when I'm a ghost! Baili Ziwei was furious, and almost reached out to push Yan Ziwen, who was embedded in her chin, to the ground hard, Yan Ziwei knew that she would have such a move, and her body avoided it, and she quickly dodged away.

Baili Ziwei didn't succeed in pushing her down, her body fell forward, and she got up from the ground in embarrassment.

"Baili Ziwen, you slut, you and Mu Heng, you two sluts can't die well! Your sons will not live to be fifteen, and your daughters are destined to be slaves. ”

Baili Ziwei, who did not succeed in pushing down Yan Ziwen, had a crazy expression on her face.

Unwillingly, she kept cursing Yan Ziwen, and finally scolded so much that she was really annoyed, so she flew at Yan Ziwen again, waving her fist and smashing it at her.

Baili Ziwei beat her, and Yan Ziwen naturally wouldn't let her go easily.

She punches and she punches her back.

The two women soon scuffled.

Baili Ziwei, who was starving all day, was no longer her opponent at all, her scalp was torn painfully, and she saw that she didn't get any bargain from her. She confronted her directly in an even more disgusting way. She began to spit in Yan Ziwen's face non-stop, and Yan Ziwen deftly avoided it.

"Baili Ziwen, even if I die tonight, I will drag you to hell with me!" Baili Ziwei shouted.

Yan Ziwen also decided not to spend it with her anymore, and while Baili Ziwei was not paying attention, she took out a dagger from her sleeve.

Piercing into her body with swift movements.

A pain that invaded the bone marrow instantly spread throughout her body, Baili Ziwei's eyes were even more scarlet and bloodthirsty, she desperately waved her hand to grab Yan Ziwen, but because of her violent movements, the wounds on her body cracked wider, and the blood flowed out more violently.

When her body began to stiffen, Yan Ziwen broke free from her, stood up from the ground, and straightened her clothes.

"Baili Ziwei, I curse you, you can't die well......" Baili Ziwei's vicious curse came out of her mouth again, but her voice was getting softer and softer......
