It's been a few days since I've been trapped in the Heart Cultivation Palace, although my sphere of influence has spread to all corners of the capital, so I won't lose contact with the outside world. But today is different from the past, with the support of the old department of the eighth elder brother, my strength is almost enough to compete with Yongzheng. At this time, the whole body is moved, so without angering Emperor Yongzheng, I try my best to show that I actually have no intention of political affairs, and I am more and more immersed in simplicity.

"Thirteenth elder brother, don't come unharmed." I can't imagine that my only visitor now is actually the Thirteenth Elder Brother, but we all know that he is now from Yongzheng's side, and the only old person I can see now is actually that I can't tell him sincerely.

The thirteenth elder brother nodded and said hello---- from his appearance, I knew that he was really not very good, and he was actually older than when he was imprisoned. He's too hard, and the way he is now forces me to accept that he's going to have a short life.

"Aren't you really going to see Brother Seventeen?" Knowing that I wouldn't say anything to him, he directly explained his intentions: "Eighth Elder Brother's death hit him very hard, seeing that Eighth Elder Brother was removed from the clan Jade Butterfly, he almost fell into a fight with His Majesty several times a few days ago, and it will be very dangerous for him to continue like this." ”

I know what you said, but I can't move ---- relationship between the seventeenth elder brother and the eighth master, his lightest ending should be the same as the old ten now.

But he is not the old ten, he is not as lucky as the old ten to have a tofu brain, and he can enjoy the treatment that the superior will never suspect. With his ingenuity, no matter what, Yongzheng's cautious eye has no reason to let him go--- at most he can live until now, and he can safely be his King of Guojun because of me. The power in my hands will more or less make Yongzheng a little jealous.

But water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn a boat, and my unstable relationship with Yongzheng is his biggest amulet---- I will not forget the excitement greater than the anger of the fourth elder brother who caught his incriminating evidence last time. He is now Yongzheng's pawn to contain me, and my strength is guaranteed by his life, but at the same time, my every move may be caused to him, and he will become the target of Yongzheng's knife at any time.

"To see or not to see, can I change anything?" There is such a thing as power, which is supreme in the first place. The supremacy is that I have it and lose it at the same time.

Look, you can't let go, because without it you won't even have your life---- from the moment you step into the Forbidden City, this is the fate that each of us is destined to.

"At least, he knows you care about him!"

I care about him, does it work?

He still suffers so much because of me. I care. It's a catastrophe for him at all---- if I let the fourth elder brother know that I still care about him like that. What will happen to him?

"I told him I cared about him. Will he believe it? "I lay in another man's arms all night long. This Manchu Dynasty civil and military people all know. Could he not know? "I told him to mourn and to refrain from giving. Will he do it? Or do you want me to answer him personally. How did the eighth elder brother die? ”

He respected the most people in his life. He followed most of his life. He died of his wife's ambition. Thirteen elder brothers. Do you want me to say that to him?

"Fourth sister. You're so smart people. Why do you ---- "so ruthless?"

I still remember that the girl he was in love with once cried and told him. The ninth elder brother is the eighth elder brother who cares about the most in the earth. Just because the eighth brother cares. She can even care about life and death......

back then. He was sad for a long time because of this sentence. I even decided to bury the love in my heart forever in my heart---- and today. This woman who is both affectionate and righteous in his eyes. actually killed her in an understatement, and she used to be able to protect her sweetheart with her life.

What's wrong with this world?

"Think I'm ruthless? Oh, yes! I think so too. "Killing the Ninth Elder Brother has always been my wish. I was confused by his final performance, but I could at least convince myself that he owed me. But what about the eighth elder brother? Just for the ridiculous wealth of Jiangnan, I actually ---- "Third brother, now I have lost the qualification to beg others for forgiveness." But can you be fair to me---- Eighth Elder Brother is finished, it's a matter of time before someone else does it, if I don't do it, someone else will do it, what if the person who does it is Nian Qianyao? ”

The fourth elder brother loves me very much, and I have always refused to admit this, but after this period of getting along, I have accepted my fate, but so what? On top of this high temple, under this supreme imperial power, love can be controlled. Too small, too small......

Even if Yin doesn't want to, he will still be bound by the invisible big hand of power in the end, and he will be forced into a sword by it, and then slash at me---- After the eighth elder brother, I and Nian Qianyao, whoever is weaker will become the first target to be eradicated

At this point, Nian Guifei's tenderness can't be changed, and Nian Qianyao's center can't be changed. I can't change my charm!

"If it weren't for me, I would have been one step earlier than Nian Qiuyue. I think the third brother can now prepare for my funeral while seeing me off in the Zongren Mansion...... "Nian Qianyao still has an army of 400,000 in the northwest. To shake him, he still needs to peel off the cocoon step by step, and give both grace and power; And I, who are close at hand, want to deal with me, Yongzheng is not even qualified to hesitate......

"Qiyun, why did you take this step?" The thirteenth elder brother's eyes were stained with tears. Not only because of me, but also because of himself. The facts I told him had clearly told him that ---- we were already enemies, and after Nian Qianyao, I would be the biggest enemy of Yongzheng's centralized power. Whether we want to or not, whether we want to or not, we will all go to this step.

"It wasn't my choice to get to where I am today." But the road is indeed my way.

Lies and deception are the most important things in this world, I just told a small lie, I just wanted to use a small lie in exchange for my own life--- I gave Lord Niu Colu an illusion that I was his own daughter, I also thought that this lie would not bring disaster to people and people.

But after a lie, it is a big lie, followed by extermination, slaughter, betrayal, and fighting......

The lie is getting bigger and bigger, I am subject to Brother Jiu for this, I am willing to be used by Mrs. Tong in order to survive, I have entered the palace This point of no return, I have no choice but to fight, keep fighting......

"Stop it!" The thirteenth elder brother suddenly held my hand impulsively: "The fourth brother is so attentive to you, if you are willing to stop, he will definitely keep you!" ”

Stop? If I could have taken it, I wouldn't have come this far!

"Thirteenth elder brother, you touch your own conscience and tell me, can your fourth brother really protect me?" I looked at him, and I was sad or sad---- he wasn't a fool, he was a fool and I would understand him, but I knew he wasn't.

He himself knew that what he just told me was undoubtedly a fool's dream---- even if Yongzheng was willing to let me go, those of his staff would never be, those ministers who guessed that they were trying to fight for merit in vain, those "Zhongliang" who had been suppressed by me and were now trying to rehabilitate him in vain would not, and even his thirteenth elder brother would not......

"I remember a story that when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was in power, the Empress Dowager Lu passed away, and when she was dying, she was told not to give up her military power." I stared at the pale face of the thirteenth elder brother, and slowly recounted the very distant but very realistic story: "As a result, her family didn't believe it, and as soon as the Empress Dowager Lu died, her family believed in the new emperor's promise that he would never harm him, and handed over the military power...... "What is the result?" Sweeping away his grip on my hands, I asked angrily.

"The Lu clan is wiped out." The thirteenth elder brother lowered his head, not daring to look at my eyes.

"More than that." Tears fell, I don't know if I was lamenting the heroic Lu Pheasant in that life or lamenting my current situation: "Empress Dowager Lu's own sister, such a noble woman back then, was stripped naked and dragged out by angry soldiers and civilians, and beat more than 2,000 canes at the entrance of the downtown before she died of anger......"

Lu Hou's **, she is already dead, are every one of the women and children of the Lu family really so damned? Because in order to satisfy the ridiculous hearts of those careerists, do you have to treat a woman so cruelly, and still think that you are doing the right thing for heaven?

"Qiyun, the fourth brother won't, even if the fourth brother will, I won't let him do this to you!"

"How much power do you think you have?" I stood up and urgently held the handkerchief in my hand: "I'm a button. Even if Qiyun will die, he will fight until the last moment, and he will fight until he has only one soldier left. I will never sit back and wait for death so stupidly, and I will never let those who love me and my loved ones get such a miserable end! ”

"You're crazy, you're a woman after all, the more power you have, the more dangerous it will be, you're not a true dragon emperor, it's against heaven for you to do this!"

"Heavenly Dao?" I looked at him funny, sometimes I really think that this famous iron hat king in history is really pedantic---- the so-called Heavenly Dao, the so-called true Heavenly Son is just a few words that I wanted Long Keduo to change at that time: "Thirteenth Elder Brother, do you know what the real Heavenly Dao is?" I took over the power of the eighth elder brother and I realized that even today, he still has the strength to give your fourth brother a go! ”

Seeing the surprised expression of the thirteenth elder brother, I looked at this prince who still thinks he is doing a beautiful job: "But he didn't, because he is also an elder brother, he knows that the competition between the two tigers is only a fisherman's profit in the end, and the cheapest one will only be a foreigner." He will lose because he still focuses on the country and the foundation of his ancestors from beginning to end! ”

He kept Sheji, but Sheji didn't favor him......

I thought of Zhu Yuanzhang, but poor Chen Youliang was a hero, but he lost to him, an out-and-out villain; I think of the overlord of Chu, and no one dares to deny that he is more like a hero than Liu Bang; I think of so many heroes in history ---- history, as if they never favored gentlemen......

"Eighth brother will, but I definitely won't!"

If you want to ask me, are you the overlord of Chu or Liu Bang, I will answer in the affirmative--- I want to be Liu Bang!" A person who can't even protect the woman he loves, even if he is a hero, is a failed hero.

I'd rather be a successful villain......
