Chang Yu died.

As if her heart was stuffed into a deep and large rift, empty mine, Zhao Ji sat on the ground and her heart kept sinking, she covered her chest, as if she wanted to relieve the pain of pressing down.

I could only keep crying with my mouth open, crying so much that my liver and intestines were broken.

She cried and complained, complaining about Lu Buwei's negativity, complaining that the son she gave birth to was not intimate enough, and even complaining about why she was born a woman, and her life was at the mercy of others.

She grew more and more desperate, and the powerlessness of despair consumed her completely, until the last drop of blood swept over her face.

Half ringing.

She jerked violently as if she had woken up from a nightmare.

Zhao Ji stared straight at the child in her arms, and the child also stared at her, it had no skin, only dense snake scales, and was still sucking her wrist in her mouth. ”

"This is not my child, this is not my child, how am I, how could I give birth to such a monster, ahhhh

Zhao Ji threw the little monster, she grabbed her own head full of beads, and the little monster on the ground was writhing in pain, the tail without legs, drawing a crazy and twisted arc, shaking in the depths of her pupils.

"This, no, it's not my son, my son will definitely be able to become a romantic figure in this world in the future, a proud son of the sky, a figure who will be crowned a marquis and worship in the future, not this kind of monster!"

"Not a monster!"

Her already sharp voice rose again, piercing like a ghost asking for her life, "It's not a monster, my son is not a monster!" ”

The little monster with a humanoid snake tail was so weak that it had no ability to resist at all, and it was smacked and fainted.

Zhao Ji had her hair scattered, her figure swayed, her brain was blank, she couldn't hear anything, she couldn't see anything.

Severe pain, dizziness, the world was spinning, and her long black hair was like rice paper that had been sucked away in an instant, white and silent.

There were crow's feet spreading out of the corners of her eyes that were quite smooth, and she was dozens of years old in a blink of an eye, "God, what did I do wrong to be so retribution." Me me. No, no, no, I Zhao Ji can't give birth to this kind of monster. ”

"You can't give birth to this kind of monster!"

She looked at the two little monsters, her teeth clucked, her face showed a fierce look like a great enemy, she pulled out the hairpin of her hair, and poked it desperately at the little monster, the little monster hissed and struggled non-stop, but like a quail that led to the neck to be killed, how could it prepare for the sudden onset of a madman before it was enlightened.

Minced meat, scales.

Blood, splashes.

Zhao Ji let out all her anger and resentment, the little monster was poked by her like rotten flesh, and Grandma Sun beside her had turned into a pool of thick water, and the rancid corpse water soaked into her skirt.

In a trance, Zhao Ji actually saw Lu Buwei, looking back at her quietly in the abyss, he was in the stands on the second floor, he was a spectator, for her embarrassment, he stretched out his hand and showed a smile at her, "Zhao Ji, come." ”

Zhao Ji, come.

"No, Zhao Shu, I'm so scared, I'm so scared."

Zhao Ji threw away the hairpin and just wanted to run over, but found that she was covered in blood and rancidity, she curled up in a ball, laughing and crying, "No, no, I can't get by, such Zhao Shu, you definitely won't be happy." ”

"Da, da."

Heavy and procrastinating footsteps sounded from outside the hall, it was Lu Buwei who walked over from outside the hall, Zhao Ji looked at it with hazy teary eyes, and suddenly found that he was also old, and he no longer remembered the heroic posture, "Buwei-"

Her voice was hoarse.

The eyeballs in Lu Buwei's eye sockets were deep-set, dusty, and his temples were like frost.

But Zhao Ji looked at it, and felt that his face seemed to be frozen by the years, and it was engraved on her heart again.

Or like that, nothing has changed.

She still loved him.

Just like the old love.

"No, no."

Zhao Ji's wrinkled face flattened, she sat on the ground, smiling carefree like a girl, blooming, "No, Zhao Shu has been waiting for a long time, she has become an old woman, you finally came to see me." ”

Lu Buwei looked at her red eyes from crying, and said silently: "Zhao Ji, you have done a lot of wrong things. ”

The internal servants of the chaotic country, the birth of two sons, the disaster of shame for the royal family, the six kingdoms of Shandong are unprecedented, although there is the bewitchment of Chang Yu, but it is not Zhao Ji An ignorant and fearless woman, selfishness of absurd lust.

He thinks that his power is so great that he covers the sky with one hand.

Big enough to be able to leave behind the dignity of the queen mother of a country.

Zhao Ji smiled like a baby ignorant, she twitched the tip of her nose and smiled sourly, "No, Zhao Shu knows, knows it's wrong, no, can you forgive me." ”

Lu Buwei's figure froze: "Zhao Ji, you are confused." ”

Zhao Ji smiled and crawled over to touch the upper of his shoe, "No, I'm confused, I know it's wrong." ”

He closed his eyes: "You are unscrupulous, willful, and reckless, and you actually give the regency to the animals that are inferior to dogs, in the past two years, the Qin State has become a mess because of you, and how many people have died outside, the old man is willing to forgive you, how can the Qin State clan let you go." ”

"What then?"

Zhao Ji was not afraid, her eyes were full of admiration when she looked at him, "No, you take Zhao Shu away, just like in Handan, you hold my hand, the ends of the earth, you can go anywhere." ”

"Zhao Ji!"

Lü Buwei took a step back, his elegant temperament had already retreated, and his eyes were already cold and indifferent, as cruel as a knife, "Zhao Shang Lü Buwei is dead, and the current Lü Buwei is the prime minister of Qin, the Wenxin Marquis of Qin, and he has a thousand heavy courage on his shoulders, and he wants to lead the Qin people to change the law and innovate and move towards a more brilliant future!" National affairs, how can we tolerate the private affairs of you and my children. ”

"Children's private affairs."

Zhao Ji showed a puzzled magic, "For so many years, am I just a child's private relationship?" ”

"But, I've come through so many ups and downs, I just want to go with you, Lu Buwei, is Zhao Shu in your way, so, you sent Chang Yu, do you want to cut off with me, do you want to be a stranger to me?"

"Hahahaha!"

She closed her eyes, her upper and lower teeth fluttering, "Lu Buwei, Lu Buwei, for the first time in so many years, Zhao Shu has seen through you, what a big country loves a big country, what a change in the law, you are just to keep your position as prime minister, for your ridiculous ambition, use fake eunuchs to block the world's secluded people's mouths!" ”

Zhao Ji twisted and got up, pointed to his nose and said, "A cloth merchant can become the prime minister of a country, and become a first-class person in the world. ”

She approached again: "But without me, without the original Handan singer, can you still win the favor of the first king?" And you can use the son I have born to you to work hard to secure your position as prime minister? Lü Buwei, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been able to stand on such a high altar, you would have fallen down and become that cheap merchant who was trampled on! ”

Lu Buwei's throat was sluggish: "So, you hate me." ”

"Yes, I hate you, Lu Buwei, I hate you so much!"

Zhao Ji was like a wandering spirit, struggling out of the devastation, "Wenxin Hou, Changxin Hou, middle father, false father, hahahaha." ”

"I want a eunuch to be on an equal footing with you, I want your exploits to be trampled on the soles of your feet by a lewd courtesan, I want you to be a prime minister, but it's just like that, Lu Buwei, don't you care about fame and fortune the most? I want to, I want to destroy him, ruin everything for you, if a hundred years later, if a thousand years later, as long as future generations think of you and me, the queen mother, the prime minister, lingering and compassionate, it is difficult to give up hahahaha! ”

Zhao Ji laughed indulgently and screamed indulgently, like her life of love, as vain as a mirror, "If a thousand years later, future generations only need to think of you and me"

The figure in front of him disappeared suddenly.

A beam of glow outside the hall came in, illuminating her absurd life, Zhao Ji staggered into the light, she stretched out her hands that were no longer young and delicate, with a fascinated emotion in her eyes, "Lu Buwei, Lu Buwei." ”

No one answered.

From beginning to end, it was just her singing on stage alone.

The rouge on Zhao Ji's cheeks was soaked out of the sad color block by tears, she was in a trance for a long time, her willow waist swinged, the fishy long skirt fluttered lightly with the broken footsteps, and the orchid was raised and pointed in the void, and her eyes flashed with ten thousand styles.

Look left, look right.

She babbled and sang: "There are arbors in the south, and you can't think about it." The more the voice went to the back, the more miserable and lonely she became, she fell to the ground weakly, sang half-loudly and cried and laughed, tears were dripping, and her red lips were half-open.

The sunset outside poured in like blood, and fell on the half-made garment beside it, and a wooden comb was placed on it.

- "Enemies, combed to the white head, from now on the love of husband and wife will not be separated." ”

- "I'll send you later." ”

- "Really? ”

She crawled over, clutching the comb tightly, her eyes calm and compassionate, and her tears were unfinished, and they were covered with new tears.

"Really."

*

Outside, the twilight was low.

In the square in the middle, there are corpses piled up horizontally, these corpses are nothing more than the traitors who betrayed the king of Qin, and they have all been ambushed.

The clan surnamed Ying with a red face is holding a head to record merit, everyone is equal under the Qin law, even if it is a blood clan, they must use military merit to establish their lives, "Hahahaha, Lao Tzu slaughtered ten heads, happy!" ”

"Just a group of whining ruffians and hooligans, what are you happy about, this is not enough to live your bones, next time you and I are galloping on the battlefield and driving for the Qin State, then it will be called a glory!"

"Hahahaha."

"Killing these little minions is like a tiger driving cattle and sheep, everyone laughed and talked about it."

The smile on the face of Changping Jun Qiqi, who was the leader, was unhappy, and he said to the relatives who claimed to be meritorious: "The king was assassinated and injured. ”

"Huh? What's the matter, how could the king be injured, didn't he watch the fifty iron horsemen rush in, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to take a gelding pig. ”

Someone was shocked, "How is the king?" What about that Chang Yu? ”

Qi Qi said: "The king has always been very temperamental, and his temperament is unpredictable, he just entered the Qi Nian Palace alone, and never came out again, Chang Yu——"

He frowned, "Regardless of whether Chang Yu is arrested or not, we are all old Qin people who are loyal to the Great Qin, and we are indispensable in terms of meritorious deeds. ”

"Yes, yes, only Changping Jun is the first to look forward."

The clan relatives in the back hurriedly nodded and bowed, and their tone was respectful.

Mrs. Huayang retreated into the background, and now Changpingjun has become a kink between the Chu and Qin families.

And he is a man who knows the art of war and is still strategic.

During the battle to exterminate Chang Yu, he keenly expected that King Qin would be crowned, and it was Changping Jun who took the initiative to bring the clan to help pave the way.

Most of the clansmen of this group of Qin State are mediocre people, and now they have to be convinced by Changping Jun, and there are good things and well-meaning people who follow up and say, "Changping Jun, this time to pacify Chang Yu, our clan relatives have contributed to the Qin State and shed their blood, Jun Shang will not see it this time, this discussion of merit, it also depends on Changping Jun's head merit, I will just drink and drink soup, ha." ”

"In the middle, we are in nature!"

Qi Qi's face was calm: "Our clan relatives are the right-hand men of the king, when the Qin State is in crisis, it is also our ancestors who come forward, it is incumbent on them, and you all have meritorious deeds, so you don't have to be in a hurry." ”

"Yes, yes, what Changping Jun said is extremely true."

"Yes, who wouldn't be able to see that the right-hand man can't succeed, I see this king, I won't ignore everyone's dedication to the Qin State."

The so-called half-hung water, the more it will sway, there is a clan relative who is full of fat stomachs, wiping stinky sweat and squeezing up from the clansmen, "Congratulations to Changpingjun, congratulations to Changpingjun." ”

"Congratulations, congratulations?"

The others gossiped and looked at him; "Hey, you dead fat man, you are eating delicacies from the mountains and seas with a beautiful woman in your arms at home, haven't you eaten enough? I don't weigh myself how big your belly is now, how big your mouth is, when you fought just now, you almost lost your life, and then watched the fire on the other side of the noisy Tehuan, and now it's here to pick up the ready-made congratulations, beauty! Beauty! I think it's as beautiful as your concubine! ”

"Hahahaha!"

They burst into laughter, and their words were full of ridicule, "Sleeping in this fat sea, I am not afraid that your eighteen-room concubine will be open for a long time hahaha." ”

The fat man is neither angry nor ashamed.

His eyes smiled into two thin slits, and the layer of flesh on his chin shook, drawing an arc of sycophancy, throwing it on Changping Jun's face, and shaking his head and opening his little eyes and saying to them: "Hmph, I'm not congratulating you, I'm congratulating Changping Jun." ”

He bent down to Qi Qi, low and low: "Changping Jun has done his best for the king, and he is the king's cousin, and he has an inseparable family relationship, this Lu Buwei has made this file to do nothing, and one day the official style of the prime minister will blow to our Changping Jun sooner or later!" Then my congratulations, congratulations to our future minister. ”

"Good you fat man!"

Some people laughed and scolded.

But the rest of the people thought in their hearts, usually listening to this fat man panting, now he can croak, don't you want to take the lead in front of Changping Jun, right?

As soon as they reacted, they all swarmed up, and their saliva splashed excitedly: "I am here to congratulate Changpingjun, congratulations to Changpingjun." ”

"In the future, Changpingjun will be able to gain the trust of King Qin-"

Soon, Qi Qi stretched out his hand to interrupt them, and his eyebrows were wrapped in circles of contemplation.

The others rolled their eyes, hesitated for a while and didn't speak, and leaned over and said, "Changping-kun? ”

Qi Qi's five fingers opened, pressed the scimitar on his waist, and glanced at him: "We are all the people of the Qin State, doing things for the king, and if the king doesn't do it for a day, Lu Buwei is still the prime minister of the Qin State, and no one can pull it down." For so many years, everyone has been cautious in their words and deeds, and they are not in a hurry for this moment and a half of the storm, do you understand? ”

"Yes, yes, Changpingjun is right."

"I'll wait for everything to listen to Changpingjun, but Changpingjun is the first to look forward!"

All the clansmen rubbed their hands together, and they followed his footsteps one after another, stepping on this old capital, which was unprecedentedly high-spirited.

Now that the foreign ministers of the Qin State are in charge, once upon a time, these old clan relatives were also the henchmen of the King of Qin.

But I don't know when, I gradually left the heart of power mediation, and I had no choice but to be dictated by a cheap businessman.

That's it.

But the ability of the cheap businessman to learn the rich five cars and the source of the left and right made them feel deeply out of reach, as soon as they came, they brought out the new deal of the Lu family, and the words of a few words hit their old clan in the face It was painful and spicy, and they still smiled at you.

The so-called reach out and don't hit the smiling person.

Lu Buwei's actions in front of the former king, even if he was picking on bones with eggs, he didn't have to say anything, so he could only swallow this nest in a sullen voice.

But the reason for Chang Yu's incident was actually led by Lu Buwei, if he hadn't cheated with Empress Dowager Zhao and sent a eunuch in, how could he have caused such a national shock.

Finally—

That Lü Buwei finally left the authority to be held by them, and they could finally turn over and restrain him, with his majestic and dignified talent, what if he was virtuous, it was not bad in the hands of a woman.

Hey, hey, don't blame their men for being ruthless.

The clan relatives walked majestically on the road of Lao Yongcheng, and when they arrived at the Qi Nian Palace, they were ready to meet Yingzheng.

They packed up their impatience and changed their faces collectively into worried expressions.

Qi Qi stood still, closed his eyes and opened them again, patted away the smell of blood on his body, and said respectfully to the palace door: "I heard that the king was slandered, Qi Qi couldn't rest assured, and he specially led the clan relatives to ask to see him." ”

The clansmen held their breath and stared.

"Squeak-"

The door of the dark Qi Nian Palace was opened, and the sky was already dark, but all the candles inside were extinguished, and no light came out, which was depressing and unprovoked.

Zhao Gao came out of the shadows and said to them with a smile, "Jun Shang was injured and has already rested. ”

It's like a bucket of cold water on dog days, pouring straight on people's heads.

When leaving the Qi Nian Palace, someone couldn't help but say angrily: "Damn, it's just a small injury, not dead or mourning, I waited for him to fight to the death, and finally kept his throne, now it's okay, the palace is closed, and I don't even see him." ”

"If we hadn't supported him. Greet those 3,000 guests."

"It's also a blood relative! Everyone has the blood of the Ying family, and the first king has to wait for me to wait for three points of thin noodles, he is good, cold words, and refuses people for thousands of miles. Big and small, never consult with us on anything. ”

"Let's just say that the matter of Chang Yu's rebellion now is also our Changping Jun rushing to work for him, he doesn't want to think about it, a hundred years ago, if the Qin State did not have a loyal warrior like us to send his life one after another, it would be a big combination, forcing the Qin State to be almost exhausted, which turn will he sit on the country?!"

They became more and more angry, more and more excited, waving their hands, flicking their sleeves, and the shadows of their heads and limbs were scattered on the white jade ground, like a group of demons dancing wildly.

"Brush—"

In the midst of boiling, Qi Qi directly pulled out the scimitar and threw it on the red lacquer pillar.

The sharp scimitar, which was still bloodstained, refracted the cold white light in the moonlight, and all the clan relatives were startled, "Changchang Pingjun." ”

His voice was extremely cold: "Everyone, speak carefully. ”
