Zhao Sheng saw this grand occasion, he was also fluttering and excited, he was already a little arrogant, these days, even more arrogant, as if the world has been under control, at his fingertips. But in addition to joy, he also understood one thing: this empty and prestige was no longer under him, so he calmed down a little and discussed with Mao Jingyuan on the strategy of curbing the elimination of power.

Mao Jingyuan said: "Your Majesty, at this point, we have a foundation and stable strength, and the Tartars are attacked on all sides, and the day of the death of the country can be expected, and we can't use this empty escape." But this thief has an ingenious mind, if we try it slowly, we are afraid that he will see the clues, and we will be armed. If you want to succeed, you must cut through the mess quickly and make sure that you hit it with one blow. ”

Zhao Sheng's heart tightened, and he asked, "You mean to ask the dead man to assassinate this person?"

Mao Jingyuan said: "You can only imprison him, not kill him." Otherwise, his party will inevitably be in turmoil, and if we imprison him, we can coerce and lure his henchmen one by one, and never suffer from future troubles, but keep quiet to the outside world, so as to eliminate the crisis invisibly. ”

Zhao Sheng had a deep hatred for Kong Wu Dun, and when he heard what Mao Jingyuan said, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said: "Mao Aiqing is clever, Kong Wu is dead, and this position of the chief military division is naturally none other than Mao Aiqing." ”

Mao Jingyuan made a series of rejoicing, and Zhao Sheng asked him to recommend talents and give important tasks, and Mao Jingyuan introduced his cronies and friends to Zhao Sheng. Zhao Sheng sincerely trusted him, and all of them were granted official positions to take care of the government for him. When he had free time, he quietly went to fight with Xiao Qiu Yang, and his true affection was lingering and difficult to give up, as if he had become a little Qiu Yang's love and slave.

The war was calmed, and within a radius of hundreds of miles, all the people surrendered. The goshawk calculated the time on time, and it happened to be nearly two years since the first battle of Changchun that year, so he said goodbye to Zhao Sheng and wanted to return to the Central Plains. Zhao Sheng asked him what was the matter, and the goshawk said: "I have an old friend who has made an appointment to meet me in a month, and this appointment is indispensable." When the two of us agreed, we will return immediately. ”

Zhao Sheng left a few words, then allowed the leave, and the goshawk took the snow and ice cold, left the Shunyuan Mansion, and went to Changchunguan.

One night in July, the weather was hot and dry, in the palace of Shunyuan Mansion, Empress Xin was lying alone on the couch, there was no one beside her, the moonlight outside the house was cold, she couldn't help but feel miserable in her heart, her heart was cranky, and it became more and more difficult to sleep.

She practiced the strange kung fu of the Shihao faction, and she had a deep affection for Zhao Sheng, and her heart was only wrapped around him, and when she was with him, she was at ease in her heart, which really fascinated her. In the past, as soon as she saw Zhao Sheng happy with the rest of the women, she couldn't help but get angry, and she had to take Zhao Sheng back. And Zhao Sheng is also fond of her, although he often cheats, but every other day, he always goes back to her bed to make love. At that time, Empress Xin was relieved, forgave him for his ridiculous behavior, and still treated him wholeheartedly.

But now the situation is not right, and it is very bad. Today, Zhao Sheng has not been happy with him for four months.

He always has all kinds of reasons: the war situation is urgent, the political affairs are busy, he is drunk, he breaks his hand, his body is tired, he suffers from the wind and cold, and every time he takes the initiative to ask him to stay overnight, he will always shirk it, as if he is a queen, he is no longer a woman, and he does not need to accompany him.

She is not a stupid person, she has long been suspicious, but Zhao Sheng acts extremely secretively, and the cronies, maids, and eunuchs she is looking for will all be supported by Zhao Sheng. In this way, Qiu Xin understands that Zhao Sheng has another favorite concubine.

She gritted her teeth with hatred, hated her heart, hated the who had taken away the only man she loved in the world, and if she caught him, she would have cut off all her hands and feet, thrown into the dung, and tortured her.

She kept thinking about it, remembering Zhao Sheng's recent behavior, and thought: "Which palace maid in the palace can fascinate Xiao Sheng like this? How can I not see the clue at all?" Suddenly, her mind flashed, and she remembered that a few months ago, when the Yuan army was besieging Kunming, that little autumn sheep had thrown her arms to Xiao Sheng, how close was she to him?

She was so delicate that she just thought: "Impossible, impossible, she is an animal, and she is very human, how can Xiao Sheng have any personal feelings with this animal? If it spreads, he, the emperor, will become the laughing stock of the world."

But what about herself? If that were the case, wouldn't she be as good as an animal?

She felt so humiliated that she almost bit her lip to the point of bleeding

Early the next morning, she waited outside the wall of the Little Autumn Sheep Palace, and the palace maids pretended to enjoy the flowers, she was the queen's honor, she did not approach, and the guards would never dare to drive her, but she was slightly interested in approaching, and they became nervous. Qiu Xin secretly felt heartache, so she walked into the distance, waited for a long time, and finally saw Zhao Sheng appear. He hurried, panicked, and ran by.

Qiu Xin couldn't figure out where he came from, but there was no doubt that the direction must pass through Xiao Qiuyang's residence.

She greeted her and called softly, "Xiao Sheng, Xiao Sheng." ”

The flowers and branches she is dressed up today are more beautiful than in the past, and any man who listens to her affectionate call is afraid that he will fall over.

Zhao Sheng seemed to be taken aback, and when he saw Qiu Xin, his face was ashamed, and he smiled: "Xin'er, why do you get up so early, why don't you sleep for a while?"

Qiu Xinjiao said: "Without the emperor's company, how can the concubine sleep? The emperor still doesn't pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, and play Luan Zhanfeng?"

Zhao Sheng had no enthusiasm, and his body did not change at all, he just hugged her slender waist casually, and said with a smile: "I want to go to the early dynasty, but it can't be too late." ”

Qiu Xin said: "I'll go with you." ”

Zhao Sheng was helpless and agreed, and the two came to the main hall and sat down on the dragon and phoenix chairs, and the ministers were already waiting. Qiu Xin looked at Xiao Di Niu and blinked, Xiao Di Niu knew that his mother had something to discuss, so he secretly paid attention.

Zhao Sheng said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am slightly ill, if there is something, I will report it, and if I have nothing to do, I will retreat." ”

Qiu Xin said: "Your Majesty, the concubine has something to ask for. ”

Everyone was amazed, and Zhao Sheng asked, "Why should my beloved wife be polite? ”

Qiu Xin pointed to the little cow and said: "Your Majesty, Jiao'er has reached the age of starting a family, I want to ask the emperor for a family matter, but I don't know if the emperor will agree." ”

Qiu Haojiao's face turned red, and he shouted: "Mother, why are you talking about this?" He is only eighteen years old, although he is still a teenager, but it is the age of Huai Chun Simu, plus he is strong and strong, and his energy is far better than ordinary people, he has long had all kinds of fantasies about young women, and when he heard Qiu Xin talk about this, he couldn't help but be scared, but he was also a little surprised.

Zhao Sheng laughed, very cheerfully, and said: "This is Jiao'er's lifelong event, the most important, which Aiqing's girl do you fall in love with? ”

Qiu Xin said: "Your Majesty, the appearance of the sheep and my horn is different from ordinary people, it can be said that they are a natural pair, the two of them often get along, intimate, in love, and they have grown up, just married husband and wife, and become a hundred years of good." ”

Qiu Haojiao was already very admiring of Xiao Qiuyang, and when he heard this, he was overjoyed, knelt on the ground, and shouted: "Mother, how do you know what is going on in the child's heart?"

Zhao Sheng was shocked in his heart, and he was extremely resentful, so he just wanted to tie up the little cow and serve him with a big punishment, so that he would know what was good and bad, and not fight Xiao Qiuyang's idea. But he was scheming, suppressed his anger in an instant, shook his head and said, "Yang'er is just a little girl, and she is my sister-in-law. And Jiao'er is my son, how can the two get married if they are out of lineage?"

Qiu Xin smiled: "What's so difficult about this? The emperor can break the brother-sister covenant with Yang'er, and then establish a father-daughter relationship, anyway, you are the emperor's honor, and such trivial things can be changed." As long as the two of them are in love, we must think more about them and make sure to promote this matter. ”

Zhao Sheng was short of words for a while, but said: "I am the king of a country, how can I go back on my word?"

Kong Wu escaped and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, in the past, we didn't object to the fact that you set up another queen, but what is the promise of righteous brothers and sisters? He laughed.

Zhao Sheng forced Empress De to abdicate at that time, and after establishing a revenge Xin, he acted quite smoothly, but he didn't expect to lift a stone to hit his own feet at this time. He said sharply: "What nonsense are you talking about? How can these two things be confused? Don't mention this matter again, otherwise I will really be unkind!"

Qiu Haojiao saw that Zhao Shengman was unreasonable, and he was furious, and was about to jump up to argue, but Kong Wuxuan patted him on the shoulder and said: "General Qiu, the emperor doesn't agree for a while, you don't have to be discouraged, this matter falls on the shoulders of the old minister, you must let you wish." Qiu Haojiao was very sure of what he said, and he was grateful, and said in a low voice: "Thank you, Lord Kong." ”

Zhao Sheng swished with a cool air on his back, and secretly thought: "This empty enlightenment will buy people's hearts! This stone ox under the command of Haojiaoer is the magic weapon of our army's invincibility, and Haojiaoer's martial arts are unfathomable, and they are by no means under Zhou Hanhai." If this person is used by the Void Enlightenment, my throne will be unstable. But if he wants to give Xiaoqiu Yang to Xiaodi Niu, it is to kill his head, and he will never give in.

Kong Wuyun smiled again: "I have admired General Haojiaoer for a long time, but Qiu Jun is young and promising, I am ashamed of my weakness, I have no shame to make friends, and I still regret it." Today afternoon, a banquet is being held in my house, how about inviting the enemy to my house for a gathering?"

Qiu Haojiao immediately agreed. Originally, in the early days, the minister's private friendship was a taboo in the court, but at this moment, Qiu Haojiao hated Zhao Sheng, and there was no one in his eyes, and neither of them cared.

Zhao Sheng's face was pale, his heart was like numbness, and he had no way to deal with it for a while, so he scattered the early dynasty. Qiu Haojiao and Kongwu went side by side and talked happily.

In this way, at dusk, Qiu Haojiao came out drunk from the empty mansion, floating under his feet, but full of joy. It turned out that during the banquet, Kongwu invited many beauties to accompany Qiu Haojiao, so that he had his first taste of women, Qiu Haojiao was really like floating in the air, soaring clouds and fog, his nature was attacking, and his mind was full of intimate scenes with women.

He returned to the house, but saw Qiu Xin's maid waiting outside, and whispered: "Lord Qiu, the queen wants to see you, you can quickly follow me into the palace." ”

Qiu Haojiao secretly thought: "Could it be that the matter of Yang'er has really taken a turn?" was happy in his heart, so he followed the maid all the way into the palace and came to Qiu Xin's residence.

When he looked up, he saw that there seemed to be a golden eye in the sky, staring at him, but it seemed to be dripping blood.

He had never found the remnant sun so weird and terrifying. (To be continued.) )
