Chapter 49: The Strong Are Fearless
Emperor Qingli was shocked, knowing that if she was willing, An Qi would die immediately.
"Your Excellency, it is not a pawn, and it is not worth your life." Emperor Qingli's words are natural, but in fact, he is a disguised plea.
Jiang Qi put the teacup back on the table.
The invisible pressure dissipated, and Anqi sat down on the ground, breathing greedily. In the previous moment, the fear of death was so close to him.
What she said was true, and if she did it, no one would be able to escape.
"Let's go down." Emperor Qingli was glad that Fang Cai did not act rashly. Who wins and who loses, it really speaks of strength.
Anqi did not dare to linger.
"Come on, change tea!"
During the whole process, she was moody and relaxed. Take a sip of the new best imperial tea, swallow the fragrant fragrance that swirls on the tip of your tongue, and stretch your eyebrows and eyes again.
The heart that Emperor Qingli was carrying was put back into his stomach.
"Your appearance is like your grandmother, but your temperament is like your grandfather." If it weren't for the passage of time, he could almost mistake the person in front of him for the Qi family, the wife of King Ding, and the inheritance between the ancestors and grandchildren of the Jiang family was so magical.
"But," he said, "you are more reckless than King Ding, and he still talks about the morality of the emperor and the emperor to the ancestors, but you don't take me seriously." Well? ”
Heavy one, quite a bit of self-respecting majesty, but the low laughter in the throat diluted a little solemnity.
Jiang Qi glanced at him, very arrogant.
"My grandfather was so deceived by the hypocrisy of the world that he could not see the ugliness of the human heart. And I have nothing to do with you, I have not been righteous, and I have never lived and died together, so why bother with you! ”
Emperor Qingli was stunned for a moment by her harsh sarcasm, and then covered himself up.
"When I was young, I was taught by your grandfather how to draw a bow and shoot arrows, and the first time I went to battle, I was also under his command...... He is the first founding hero of Dawei, and Dawei can't stand him. ”
Speaking of the past, Emperor Qingli made no secret of the fact that King Ding was really loyal and courageous. Gaozu accidentally hurt the heart of his loyal ministers!
His belated emotion had no effect on Jiang Qi. If she had come from a family of ordinary courtiers, she would have been grateful. It's a pity that the ruthless and sinister Zhao royal family was taught by the Jiang family forty years ago.
"Your Excellency, Gaozu and King Ding have both passed away, and the old grudges have subsided." He went around in circles and finally said the key word.
The royal family has been on guard for forty years, and has waited for forty years. Forty years have passed, and two generations of emperors have alternated, and they are all worried that he will come back to seek revenge.
The king is in the dark, they are in the light, the soldiers are missing, and the good follow the old master...... He can think of a big drama of the change of ownership and the seizure of the palace. The hidden national master ignores the world, which one can save the Zhao family from fire and water when the time comes? How can you not think about it day and night, tossing and turning, and can't sleep?
A year passed, the boy became old, the green silk turned into white hair, and the deceased finally returned.
He looked at it coldly, but the other party was not seeking revenge, and he had no intention of making friends. He ignored her, just looking at her showing her feet. But she is at ease, not close or close, just as an idle cloud. This kind of isolation is not a long-term solution.
"You say, how do you calm down?" Jiang Qi could see that he was furious.
If you really have no intention, it is better to make it clear.
"Your Excellency, from now on, the royal family will no longer have any snooping and persecution of the Jiang family, and please don't hold a grudge against the royal family because of the past. My royal family, the Zhao clan and the Dingwang Jiang clan, have since given up their past suspicions and guarded one side, how about it? ”
"Okay." She said a word, did not mention any conditions, did not complain of any grievances, and easily promised not to blame the past, and did not take their anger seriously at all.
That's it?
This disappointed a generation of kings, and he thought that he would have to spend a lot of time to show the wisdom of the heavenly family, perhaps with kindness, or promise to treat the Jiang family preferentially. But now, I don't need it, I don't need him to open my mouth at all, and people can solve everything with one word.
As King Fuling said, this woman behaves strangely and is quite good at frustrating people's spirits.
Jiang Qicai didn't care about the basket of twists and turns in Emperor Qingli's heart, she thought about this matter very simply. My grandfather chose to leave Dawei back then, and he had already made a decision.
Don't work hard in a puddle of mud, don't entangle with birds and beasts, where is the end of the grass not home? People who have seen the sea and the sky will not be depressed when they stumble.
The two comforted each other in their hearts, and they were both satisfied with the result of the slander.
After pulling out the troubles, Emperor Qingli was full of energy and asked Jiang Qi: "Your grudge with the Xiao family is related to Lingtang?" ”
What King Fuling knows, he knows. He had also heard the rumors of Ryan City. Connecting the front and back, an answer is about to come out.
"As far as I know, eighteen years ago, Xiao Xuan became the king of Qi because of the unexpected death of his brother. The first thing after inheriting the title is to set up a Jianghu woman as a flat wife, and share the title of "princess" with the original princess Liang. This matter made a big fuss, and it is said that the Xian people in the territory of Qi had a big change at that time, and they were dissatisfied with the unkindness of the king of Qi. Later, I heard that it was the women of the rivers and lakes who took a step back, and the king of Qi divided the palace into two and favored the women of the rivers and lakes alone. Many years later, it was rumored that the king of Qi and the woman were husband and wife, and the woman was nowhere to be found......"
Emperor Qingli slowly told the old news, he was worried that the king of Qi had the support of the Xian clan and would secretly rebel, so he ordered someone to collect relevant information, including this paragraph of the inner court record.
"Your Excellency has come for your mother's revenge and has repeatedly provoked King Qi, and anyone with a discerning eye knows what is going on. The Xiao family is a fan of the authorities and is slow to react. This is the purpose of your stay in Ryan, this is your enemy, and your Excellency is not here for the royal family. ”
Jiang Qi was silent.
"I see. Your Excellency has acquiesced. ”
In terms of comprehending Jiang Qi's unspoken meaning, Emperor Qingli and King Fuling tacitly agreed.
"Your Excellency has a lot of power in your hands, and you have peerless martial arts, if you covet the power of the world, no one in the world can stop you. Your Excellency, are you interested in Dawei? This has always been a piece of his heart, whether the rumors are true or not, he is afraid of the forces behind her.
Emperor Qingli didn't notice it, and his title unconsciously changed from "I" and "Your Excellency" to "you" and "I".
"Not interested."
"Do you need me to help you take down the Xiao family?" It is also a disaster for the Xiao family to keep it, so it is better to be a favor to push the boat.
"Don't meddle. I'll do it myself. ”
"Good. Deal. "The Son of Heaven has reached a consensus.
Jiang Qi's expression did not move, as cold as before, which was prohibitive.
Emperor Qingli couldn't help but sigh: "You really look like your grandmother." ”
He still remembers that cold beauty, the only female general in Dawei, General Hongying.
Fighting with her husband, she is a cold-blooded, ruthless, and indomitable jade-faced Shura on the battlefield; Stripped off the bright light armor, she was a slender woman with light sorrow and eyebrows, a pure heart and few desires in the courtyard. Such a woman who has very few words and is always melancholy in the twilight has attracted many heroes who cannot be obtained from afar.
It's a pity that such a married woman caused the emperor's younger brother to be depressed and admired, and he disobeyed the will of the empress dowager and Gaozu many times and refused to marry.
In the end, with the acquiescence of the Empress Dowager and the plea of the eldest princess of Wangjing, Gaozu had to put away his other thoughts for the sake of his family and country, and put down his killer ruthlessly......
The twists and turns in the inside story are rare for the world to get a glimpse of. But the final result is related to the fate of countless people.
King Ding single-handedly broke into the forbidden palace, pointed his sword at the royal family, and slaughtered; Gaozu knew that he was at a loss, the big mistake had been made, and he couldn't get the king, so he could only ask the hidden country master to mediate, and finally let the king go away with his wife.
King Jing's love is deep and unbreakable, leaving thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and he is nowhere to be found. The Empress Dowager died of depression, and the eldest princess of Wangjing did not marry in her life. Dawei is unable to annex the nations and stick to one side, and the territory of the empire is determined......
A few years later, Emperor Qingli ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne. Gaozu is in the lineage, and since then he has firmly sat in the country.
His stupid uncle, as long as he is beautiful, he doesn't want the country. The wind is so strong in another country, do you still blame your old mother and brother?
Love words hurt people, why bother!
"I heard that my uncle is alive, and I have a worker to greet him."
Jiang Qi bowed slightly: "Farewell." ”
Emperor Qingli got up to see her off and watched her go all the way.
Although the battle was sufficient, the first meeting between Emperor Dawei and Jiang Qi ended so simply.
Since hearing that Jiang Qi was "invited" into the palace by the Imperial Forest Army, King Fuling stubbornly stayed in front of the palace gate, and this was the longest hour he spent in his life.
He was not afraid that Jiang Qi would have an eventuality, but that after she came out of this palace gate, their relationship would inevitably go in another direction.
Jiang Qi was accompanied by the king of Liyang and left the palace gate in the royal chariot. Outside the palace gate, the Jingen car has been waiting for a long time, carrying the hospitality's enthusiasm to send her back to the villa.
She didn't think much of this royal glory. The labor teacher moved the crowd to invite her into the palace and sent her back. A car wants to represent a gift? Think beautifully!
She calmly got down, skipped the king of Fuling, and walked straight towards the golden root car like a meteor.
"Jiang Qi, aren't you going to talk to me?"
Panicked overgrown with withered grass, what does her ignorance mean?
She looked back suddenly, and a contemptuous smile disappeared from the corner of her mouth before it could take shape.
"The so-called love between men and women, but that's it. Boring! A few words of nonchalance are all the negation of this time.
"What do you mean?"
He had conceived of many ends, and she might have been speechless and arrogant in her friendship with him; may be angry and seriously injure him to vent his evil anger; They may also sharply question his motives and denounce his meanness. He was all ready.
"I watched you act in front of me coldly, and I was tired of watching you coldly when I saw the temptation of the ghost in my heart. It's been so long since I've been around for so long, and I've been with me for so long, but it's just for some information, just say it earlier, and I'll tell you. ”
As soon as she opened her mouth, she was exposed, and King Fuling was hit hard.
"Am I stupid? Haven't you been with me for so long? ”
"I wanted to know if a man could really confuse a woman's mind when he was flirtatious. Now it seems that vulgarity is unbearable. ”
A word of impatience, a confession of disgust, shattered his disguise.
"Have you never touched your true feelings? Are all those true and false feelings pretended? King Fuling was unwilling, at this time he and Jiang Qi's genders seemed to be reversed, as if he had become an abandoned resentful woman.
