64 Chapter 64

"Of course!"

Hehua looked proud, "My eldest brother and I are both people who grew up under the careful upbringing of my father, of course we are both good children!" Ying Zheng's eyelids raised slightly, and he reached out and rubbed Hehua's hair, "Well, good boy." The tone was light, and the expression was also light, but it made Hehua have a different feeling.

The blood relationship is a very wonderful relationship, the father in front of him obviously has no big expression on his face, he is still the emperor who is in power, and there is a gentle doting on the youngest daughter that is inconsistent with the cold and decisive emperor in Ling Lifeng's eyes, which is no different from weekdays, but she still feels an indescribable gratuitous sigh from him, and even can probably guess who the father remembered at this time.

- Chang'an Jun Chengpan, an arrogant and noble son who was forced to commit suicide by his father.

When Chang'an Jun died, she was not yet born, and she had never seen this uncle, but she only vaguely heard a few words from the people of the Gongren Temple who was of age, and she was a great Qin prince with a completely different appearance and temperament from her father.

Father is keen and cautious, Chang'anjun is frivolous and slow, Father was born an emperor, Chang'an Jun is romantic, Father never forgets, Chang'an Jun can sleep when he sees a book, his temper and temperament are in such a situation, it is strange to be able to play together, but the magic is that the relationship between Father and Chang'an Jun in the early years is very good, even if it is not born by a mother, even if the two ladies are on the tip of the needle, but Father and Chang Anjun are still brothers and sisters, and they are brothers, friends and brothers who are envied by everyone.

However, the irony is that such a brother and friend brother Gong completely broke up in the seventh year of his father's accession to the throne, and Chang'an Jun led his troops to quell the rebellion, but betrayed Daqin on the road, led the army to turn against each other, and forced Xianyang.

Father was furious and sent Wang Jian to crusade.

Wang Jian is a famous general in the world, how can Chang'an Jun be his opponent? The two armies fought, Chang'anjun was defeated, and committed suicide in despair, and the people who followed Chang'anjun's rebellion were naturally ruthlessly suppressed by his father, and the blood of Xianyang City that year was full of blood, and the tiger and wolf king of the country of tigers and wolves finally used his fangs and claws on his brother.

Obviously, Chang'anjun took the initiative to rebel, but after the news came out, he changed his appearance, and it became that his father killed Chang'anjun's biological mother and seized the throne that originally belonged to Chang'anjun.

But the most important thing in this world is that good people do not live long, and the scourge will last for thousands of years, so Chang'an Jun died, and all the people who followed him died without a place to be buried, and the tyrant who forced him to death and made countless people die in Huangquan still sat on the throne and enjoyed the devotion and worship of Daqin.

Such a story spread all over the world, and the reputation of Father's violence and cruelty was well known, and the soldiers and civilians of the Six Nations all hated Father, and the morale of resisting the tyrant was unprecedentedly high, as for Father

was friendly with Chang Anjun in his childhood, and why Chang Anjun suddenly rebelled, but no one cared.

- That's a rare warmth for tyrants, a word that can't possibly appear in tyrants, what do they care about?

What they are concerned with is how to demonize tyrants, how to make the world hate tyrants to the core. Only in this way can the soldiers and leaders be inspired to protect the country to the death, so that their crumbling rule can continue.

But her father wasn't like that.

It is true that her father is extremely conceited and extremely proud, with the ruthlessness and decisiveness of an emperor, and he is not merciful to his enemies, even if he is his closest brother, but when he finds out that he has been betrayed, he can kill mercilessly without hesitation, Huang Shigong said that her father is a ruthless imperial tool, this sentence is fitting.

But what doesn't fit is that the father also has his own feelings. - Father, too, is a human being.

Hehua stood up, bypassed the imperial case, and came to Yingzheng's side.

This is the position that belongs to the emperor, and as a child, she can't come here, and when she sits in this position, leaning on Yingzheng's shoulder, it is an arrogance that can make the counselors so angry that they can smash the elephant wat in her face.

But she did it anyway.

She hugged the emperor who was sitting on the main seat and put her face on his shoulder, "My eldest brother and I are both good children of my father, and we will never make my father angry."

"So Father never has to worry, my eldest brother and I will come to the day when the swords collide."

This action is very childish, but the words spoken are very poignant, Ying Zheng raised his eyes, his eyes fell on the unscrupulous and coquettish little girl, and his voice was not happy or angry, "If there is really that day, what should you do?"

Hehua's fingers tightened slightly.

"I've never thought about such a question."

Almost a knee-jerk reaction, Hehua blurted out, "Big brother is the best big brother, and I am also the best little sister, my big brother and I will never go that far."

"Eleven, at this time, you are very much like the worm of the year." The emperor lazily raised his eyebrows, "Cheng Pan back then also praised me like this."

"But you already know the results." "Cheng Wei openly rebelled, I suppressed it bloodily, and to this day, there are still stories of me and Cheng Pan fratricidal brothers and sisters in the market."

Hehua's breath suddenly lightened.

Ying Zheng opened Hehua's hand, turned sideways, and faced Hehua.

I grew up in fine clothes and food

The little princess really didn't think about this question, and her little face, which had not completely retreated from her childishness, was confused at this time, and her eyes looked at him, as if asking him why she was asking such a cruel question.

Ying Zheng smiled, "Eleven, the most uncontrollable is the human heart."

The corners of Hehua's mouth are pursed into a line. - She didn't like such words, and she didn't like her father's question.

"If people's hearts are uncontrollable, then how could Father hand over the 600,000 army to General Wang in the first place?" Hehua didn't believe it, "Aren't you afraid that he will rebel halfway like Chang'anjun?" Father, General Wang is a peerless general, not a gentleman like Chang'anjun, if he rebels, you have no chance of winning at all. ”

"But in spite of this, you gave him the soldiers and horses, and you did not doubt him until you died." "Not only do you not doubt him, but you have no doubt about the current general, the Meng general who went on an expedition to the northern frontier, and even the court lieutenant Li Si!"

Ying Zheng raised an eyebrow.

"The human heart is controllable."

Hehua's voice continued, retorting to his blind trusting father, "Otherwise, you wouldn't have placed such trust in them, let alone put power enough to threaten your rule into their hands."

"Eleven, the year Cheng Pan died, I was only twenty."

Ying Zheng stretched out his hand to stroke Hehua's hair, and his tone was so flat that he was not telling about being betrayed by his most trusted siblings, but telling other people's stories, "At that time, I was the king of Qin who had not yet been pro-government, and it was another year after Cheng Pan's death that I was crowned pro-government."

"The twenty-year-old King of Qin can't hand over an army of 600,000 to Wang Qian." Ying Zheng said, "But the thirty-seven-year-old King of Qin can do it."

Hehua thought for a moment, "It's because Father is strong enough."

"Yes, it's because I'm strong enough." Ying Zheng bowed his head, and his gaze fell on Hehua's eyes, "What about you? Eleven? Are you strong enough at this time?"

"Strong enough to tell me without hesitation that you and your eldest brother will never fight each other with a sword?" Powerful enough that Zhang Han, Han Xin, Liu Ji, Lu Pheasant, Xiao He, these people will never betray you?"

Hehua opened his mouth.

She couldn't answer her father's question. Her trust in her eldest brother and Zhang Han comes from the affection of getting along day and night, rather than the reason for her own strength.

Hehua slowly lowered his eyes, "Father, I understand what you mean."

>

Win the government raised eyebrows.

Hehua looked down at the delicate auspicious cloud embroidery on his cuffs.

It is embroidered by interweaving gold and silver threads, the embroidery girl found by the eldest brother from the land of South Vietnam, the embroidery is completely different from the embroidery workers in the land of Guanzhong, more beautiful and gentle, and has the mind of a little daughter, which is very suitable for embroidering on the regular clothes on weekdays.

The eldest brother said that when he saw this embroidery, it was like seeing him. Although he was not with her in Xianyang, he was thousands of miles away in South Vietnam, and he never cared for her less.

Big brother is the best big brother in the world, there's no doubt about it.

But the father back then was also a person like the eldest brother, the father and Chang'an Jun, maybe it was the appearance of her and the eldest brother, accompanied day and night, blood thicker than water, they were extremely sure that each other was the closest person, and betrayal and injury would never happen to them.

But in the end, they still came to the day of hand-to-hand combat.

The corpses are piled up like mountains of white bones, and the brotherhood between them is cut into two sections, and there is no longer an eldest brother and a younger brother in the world, only King Qin and Chang'an Jun.

Will she go where with her big brother?

She didn't know.

All she knew was that such a question would be too cruel for her.

Not only for her, but also for her father, it was cruel to cut a deep wound again, but she had to answer this question. - This is a question that must be answered if she wants to become a father, and she can't escape it at all.

Hehua pursed his lips, "Father, I understand." "If there really is a day, I will be like my father, and I will never be soft."

"The moment the eldest brother did such a thing, he was already dead."

Hehua slowly raised his head and met Ying Zheng's calm eyes, "He is no longer my eldest brother, he is my enemy, an enemy who is enough to endanger Great Qin."

"As the enemy of Great Qin, there is only one end, and that is death."

There was a moment of depth in the light of Ying Zheng's eyes.

Hehua looked directly into Ying Zheng's eyes, and his gaze did not hide or avoid, "It's not me who killed the eldest brother, it was the eldest brother who killed himself."

"I don't have a brother who will betray me or betray Da Qin, and Da Qin doesn't have a Da Qin prince who can point a sword at his sister."

Ying Zhengfeng's eyes narrowed slightly.

"The world may call me cruel, but no matter how many times I do it all over again, I will make the same choice." "Because I am the ruler of Great Qin first, and myself second."

In the end, Hehua's voice was a little hoarse.

She remembered the scene where the eldest brother hugged her and played with her, remembered that the eldest brother was kind to her, those love that accompanied her day and night could not deceive people, even if she broke with the eldest brother in the future, but the eldest brother in her memory was still the eldest brother who gently called her eleven.

"Big brother, big brother won't do this." Hehua's eyes turned red all of a sudden, "He loves me so much, why is he willing to break with me?"

Ying Zheng lowered his eyes and looked at Hehua.

The little girl was obviously very aggrieved, her eyes were full of moisture, and her tears were falling down one by one, completely different from the appearance of the princess who had just been resolute and ruthless, like a little beast lost with her family, crying helplessly, and looking for her way home in a hurry.

Ying Zheng was quiet.

"Eleven, I asked Fusu the same question."

The temple people presented the brocade handkerchief with both hands, and Yingzheng took the handkerchief and raised his hand to wipe the tears on Hehua's face.

Hearing his words, commission

The sobbing girl was slightly stunned, and her eyes were raised, Big brother...... How to answer?" Your eldest brother says he will never come to the point where his sword is against you. "Win Zheng's voice is slow, If there really is a day, he will lead to death, and he will not embarrass you.

Hehua was slightly stunned.

He said that he is your big brother and should shelter you from the wind and rain, not be your wind and rain.

Hehua lost his voice instantly.

She remembered what she had asked her eldest brother at the post station, and remembered her gentle but firm answer—he would never be a tool for others to attack her, and he would never embarrass her.

At that time, she thought that the eldest brother's words meant that he would always stand firmly with her and would not let others use her to attack her, but what she didn't expect was that as early as a few years ago, the eldest brother had prepared her to die.

She remembered that she happily hugged her eldest brother and said that her eldest brother was the best eldest brother in the world. The eldest brother carried her with a smile and said that she was also the best little sister in the world and her proudest pride.

But she wasn't. She's not that good, she won't be merciful to her big brother, she's so mean and cruel, she doesn't deserve such a good big brother.

Hehua opened his mouth.

She should have spoken, saying that she was not worthy, saying that the eldest brother was very good, but at this time, she was like being choked by the neck, unable to make a sound, she looked at her father in front of her blankly, and tears were surging at this moment.

"Father!"

Hehua threw himself into Ying Zheng's arms.

Ying Zheng hugged calmly

She didn't have much emotion on her face.

Eleven, Fusu may not be a good heir. Ying Zheng stroked Hehua's hair, and his voice was slow and calm, "But he will always be your good big brother."

Hehua cried silently and nodded desperately, I know, I know everything!" The eldest brother is very good, and my father is also very good, and my eldest brother and I will never disappoint my father. ”

The eldest brother was the eldest son of his father's high hopes, the heir of the Great Qin known to the world, and the Wang Benmeng brothers, and the most outstanding student of Prime Minister Wang Xuan, and even married the daughter of Tingwei Li Si as his wife, whether it was a meritorious military general or a powerful minister, they were all closely around him.

Living in this environment, even if she has no ambition, she will be influenced by the people around her and grow ambition, not to mention that her eldest brother is a person with great ideas, he proposes to govern the country with benevolence, even if he disagrees with his father's political views, he also argues with reason, insists on his own opinions, and is not affected by his father's power.

How could such an ambitious person easily give up his low-hanging fruit position as heir?

Or is it their father who said or did something without her knowing that it would make the ambitious eldest brother willing not to embarrass her?

Father himself has experienced outright fratricide, so he took precautions to prevent them from following the old path of him and Chang Anjun?—— this is indeed something that Father can do.

Hehua's heart was warm and uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but lie on Ying Zheng's shoulder and say over and over again, "Father, father, you are the best in the world

You and your big brother are the best and best people in the world.

"Well, Eleven is good, too."

Ying Zheng smiled lightly and patted Hehua's back, Eleven is my pride.

"My proudest daughter, it's fitting to pick up my most caring son." "Go ahead." Tell the world that you are the best brothers and sisters.

Your Majesty wants the princess to take the eldest son back to the city instead of Your Majesty? This—this is not in accordance with etiquette!" Incompatible with etiquette? No, Daqin is not polite. ”

"Zhou has Zhou etiquette, but Zhou has perished, and now the country belongs to Qin, but Qin does not have Qin etiquette, so we don't have to use etiquette to persuade Your Majesty, Your Majesty will not listen, you will only think that we are pedantic.

Then how should we persuade Your Majesty?

Can we just watch the princess take the place of His Majesty to greet the eldest son? It is a greeting long this time

Childe, what about next time? Next time, will you greet General Meng and General Shang? Or even worship the heavens, earth, ghosts and gods on behalf of His Majesty?!

After the next court, the courtiers were in a mess, surrounded the prime minister Wang Juan, who came to the court on crutches, and asked one after another, "Prime minister, what do you say!

"What's the panic?"

Wang Xuan stroked his beard lightly, and his voice was slightly deep, "The eldest prince has lived in the land of Nanyue for seven years, and let the South Vietnam of the barbarian land completely integrate into the Great Qin, how can the merits of the prince be easily erased in the eyes of the world?

Besides, the relationship between the prince and the princess is very good, the prince is still in court, and the princess welcomes each other, but it is just a normal brother-sister friendship, what do you have to panic about?

Wang Xuan glanced at Li Si, who was also surrounded by people, Tingwei, do you say yes or no?

The prime minister is right, it's just a sister picking up a brother, so there's nothing to be nervous about. Li Si smiled.

"The prime minister and Li Si didn't say anything?" Hehua is a little strange, this is so abnormal, it is not their style at all.

Lu Pheasant nodded, "They definitely won't accept the existence of the princess so easily." What is the princess going to do?

The eldest brother will enter the city the day after tomorrow, and we still have two days between today and tomorrow.

Hehua played with the crystal bead hairpin that Lu Pheasant sent over, pursed his lips and laughed, Most of the important ministers in the court are the elders of me and my eldest brother, if they are sick and don't come to pick up the eldest brother, I have nothing to do.

In this way, let our people prepare in advance, so as not to be caught off guard by them. "Then find some skilled workers in the factory, and if they don't come, they will make up for them." The eldest brother hasn't been back for seven years, and his welcoming ceremony must be lively, not because of me.

Lu Pheasant, the princess can rest assured, she will not be lonely.

The old courtiers in the court have not changed their thinking, and they believe that the future heir is the eldest son, and they are extremely dissatisfied with the existence of the little princess.

So as early as the moment she learned the news, she and Zhang Liangxiao He were secretly preparing, the workers had already chosen, they had the opportunity to work in the factory to make money because of the princess, and they naturally looked forward to the princess, as long as they gave an order, they would follow the princess. — but only the workers remained

It's not enough, after all, it is to take the eldest son back to the city, and a few high-status courtiers are needed to sit in the town.

Hehua put the crystal beads hairpin in his hair, Let's go, I'll look for someone with you.

The first person Hehua visited was Meng Yi.

Meng Shangqing, don't you hurt?

Hehua came to the flower hall under the guidance of the attendants, and saw Meng Yi lying on the rocking chair basking in the sun with a pillow on his face, and his face was still covered with a book, so he couldn't help but step forward quickly and take away the book he covered his face, You have only received thirty military sticks, why don't you lie on the bed and take care of yourself?

However, as soon as her hand touched the book on Meng Yi's face, Meng Yi held down her arm through her sleeve, and the book was still covered on Meng Yi's face, she couldn't see Meng Yi's expression, she only heard Meng Yi's faint voice, If the princess didn't come to find the minister, the minister would not suffer such an unwarranted disaster.

If the princess really feels sorry for the minister, she shouldn't come to find the minister today.

I know I shouldn't have come to you today, and I know I'm only going to hurt you. Meng Yi didn't want to open the book, so Hehua had to withdraw his hand.

The man in the rocking chair did not move much, and there was a faint smell of bitter medicine when he got close, Hehua frowned, feeling very guilty, but Meng Yi didn't like to let her see the injuries on her body, she felt uncomfortable before, and tried to give him medicine, but he who has always been good-tempered rarely had a cold face, got up in his clothes, and asked her to go out in a cold voice.

That day she understood that she was a child in Meng Yi's heart, an existence that needed his protection, and he didn't like his fragility to be exposed in front of her, after that incident, she rarely asked about his injuries, as for giving him medicine, it was not what she should do as a princess, what she should do was to clarify her position and get what she should take, instead of sympathizing with the courtiers who were affected by herself.

- Although this courtier is Meng Yi.

Hehua looked at Meng Yi's waist and back.

Through her clothes, Meng Yi was lying down again, she couldn't see what Meng Yi's injury was, she could only smell the smell of medicine, she frowned and withdrew her gaze.

"But Meng Yi, you and your eldest brother are the same age, they grew up together, and their affection is far deeper than that with me, do you want to see the eldest brother's welcoming ceremony bleak and cold?

Hehua opened his mouth, not mentioning that he had made Meng Yi a pool fish that had been affected, but went straight to the point and talked about his purpose of coming to find Meng Yi.

Meng Yi's ears moved slightly.

r />

When he came back, he should have been covered with red carpets, flowers blooming, and he arrived in Xianyang New Town surrounded by people amid flowers and applause, rather than walking into a palace city that he was not familiar with alone.

Princess, you're right, Childe shouldn't be treated coldly. Meng Yi smiled, But this matter has nothing to do with the minister, and the minister can't help you.

"Who said this has nothing to do with you?" Hehua squinted at Meng Yi's face, which was covered by books.

It was an angular face, and even if it was covered with a book, it could be seen from the angle exposed under the book. The book covers the face, but it does not cover the chin, which is covered with blue stubble and a very prominent Adam's apple. - Probably you don't have to go to court to recuperate from your injuries at home, today's Meng Yi is lazy and doesn't shave.

Hehua's eyes blinked, straightened his clothes slightly, leaned over to Meng Yi's side, and said a word in his ear in a very low voice. The corners of Meng Yi's mouth stiffened with a smile, and the books on his face slipped off the corner.

Hehua was very considerate and covered his face with the book. When the book was moved back to its original place, she withdrew her hand, took the tea from the attendant, and took a sip to her mouth.

Meng Yi, Meng Shangqing, doesn't this matter have anything to do with you?

Hehua held a teacup in his hand and looked at Meng Yi with his eyes, If you think it really has nothing to do with you, I won't bother you, and I will leave your house now.

Who did the princess learn from this wilting and wilting lack of morality? A moment later, Meng Yi came to his senses. - Your Majesty.

He is bright and upright, and the son helps Su Jiyue to breeze, and he can't teach the princess this idea of having a bad stomach, only their first emperor, His Majesty, can teach the seemingly innocent princess to be a cannibal flower that eats people and does not spit out bones.

Meng Yi sighed, That's it.

The minister went with the princess again.

Meng Yi took the book away from his face and looked sideways at Hehua, who was smiling and drinking tea.

The little princess Wu Zhanzhan reflected his face in his eyes, his face was a little helpless, more crying and laughing, he raised his eyebrows, and the people inside also raised their eyebrows, which was inexplicably a little funny.

Meng Yi took a look, and the book in his hand fell on the top of Hehua's head and knocked on it, Only this once, not as an example. - If there is a next time, Your Majesty is afraid that he will not be skinned.
