Chapter 318: Nothing can be lost, but you can't lose

More than two years have passed, and Qionghua Palace is still careful to maintain the appearance when Zichu left. The eunuchs were extremely careful when cleaning, only wiped away the dust. Other things, such as a hair that Xiao Zhizi fell on the pillow, a book that she had not finished reading under the window, and a flute placed casually on the wall. Dare to move half.

After Yi Buqun retreats every day, no matter how busy he is, he has to sit in Qionghua Palace before he can go back to his bedroom to rest at ease.

It's just that the woman in my memory has been away for too long. After a long time, Yi Fuqun sometimes doubts whether her memory is imagined out of thin air. There has never been such a woman in the world.

This woman will stare at him and be angry. She dares to refute him and disobey him, but she has a smile that makes him feel dazzling, which can calm his mind, temporarily forget the bloody darkness, and feel happy and peaceful.

Why did God let her appear in front of him and take her away ruthlessly at his happiest and most satisfying time?!

She must be very happy now! It is said that she not only became a princess, but also gave birth to a daughter. Beside the man who took her from his hand, the man who suddenly appeared in his life and became his biggest enemy!

Every time he thinks of this, Yi Buchun can't wait to tear Jun Yuchen into pieces. He hates that he has never hated anyone so much!

Even if the royal brother wanted to frame him to death and his mother lied to him to drink poisoned wine, he had never hated him so much.

is Jun Yuchen, who not only took away the only beloved woman in his life, but also used all kinds of despicable means to destroy his hard-working foundation.

To this day, although he is still talking and laughing freely, majestic and calm when facing the minister in the court. But he knows in his heart. The subjugation of Xiangluo is only a matter of time. Sometimes even he doubts whether he killed all his relatives, so he did this to him last day, but why didn't his so-called relatives force him step by step and kill him? He is not wrong!

The mistake is that God let him live in this world, but taught him to meet such a strong enemy!

Everything he got was hard to get after a series of cruel sacrifices. However, Jun Yuchen easily got it without any effort. Whether it's a country or a beauty...

He is not reconciled. Very unwilling.

Even if he doesn't want to know, the good news came one by one.

In Yunzhou, Zichu began to recruit examiners on a large scale, which was supported by the public. Even Western Shu and some people who were not interested in Xiangluo secretly sneaked into Yunzhou to take the exam.

In addition, after the first arrival in Yunzhou, the local weather was beautiful, and grain was harvested year after year. A large amount of grain was borrowed to help the refugees in Western Shu spend the winter, and a large number of people in Western Shu moved to Jinxu.

And on the border shoreline between Xiangluo and Jinxu, Junyu has begun to secretly manufacture new warships and merchant ships according to the design drawings given by Zichu. These boats seem ordinary, but they can continue to drive after hitting a reef in the water or colliding with other ships!

Since then, the Longjiang River, which was previously weakly defended by Jin Xuguo, has been strictly guarded, and Yi's army has failed to launch many attacks.

Because of the example of Yunzhou as a model, Jun Yushuang agrees with it after reading it. The new tax system began to be implemented in the former Jinxu country, and the people's burden was immediately reduced a lot. The folk reviews were very good, and the treasury revenue was quite rich.

And on the side of Xiangluo, there is bad news one after another.

First of all, the army stationed in Western Shu was attacked and lost soldiers.

The stolen grain and fodder were attacked by the exiles on the way back to Xiangluo and were looted.

Seeing that the people's attack on the army sent by Yi Buqun was quite effective, the monarchs and ministers of Western Shu began to take the opportunity to organize the collection of exiles into the army. Yi Buqun's army encountered more and more fierce resistance.

Then, Zuo Zengchun was seriously injured and rested at home.

The next day, Youcheng met and was stabbed to death. The Minister of Household resigned, and the Minister of Ceremonies reported illness...

Once again, the Ministry of War issued an urgent report. It has not been issued any military service for nearly a year, and the source of troops is insufficient.

Then the treasury was in an emergency, and no one paid attention to the salesman...

A large number of domestic merchants closed down and disappeared for no reason, which had a great impact, and the merchants involved closed their doors one after another.

There are rumors in the capital, and the hearts of the people are floating.

Then more than a dozen officials were found. Because they were involved in foreign countries, they were all sentenced to beheading, and the Beijing officials were immediately cicadas.

Then there is the famine in five states and counties, and there is no harvest, and there has been a disaster among the victims.

The riots of the victims in the southwest...

The plague broke out in Mexico...

All the bad things that can be thought of and can't be imagined are happening one by one. Xiangluo State is already precarious and will be defeated with the last gentle blow.

It was at this time that Yi Buqun really understood that he had felt that he had made great achievements in the war for many years, but it turned out that there was a fierce tiger coiled on his side, waiting for him to come forward to share and eat it. He finally knew why the Jinxu Congress changed when he wanted to annex Xishu that day. The method helped secretly!

It turns out that all this is just the mantis of the Jun family's brother's cicada and yellow finch!

In the extreme dullness and depression, Yi Buchun spent another day in the morning. He didn't know how long his calm performance could reassure the ministers under the steps? I'm afraid everyone knows it.

Looking at the ministers who were saluteing him in fear, Yi Buchun turned around and sneered, and called Lai Xiong Song to drive out of the palace to visit Zuo Zengchun.

These days, only Lai Xiong Song is still standing behind him like a javelin.

Think about these cronies who followed him all the way to the capital to seize the throne, now he is the only one who is still standing beside him. Other confidants, either died in the battlefield, or still led the army outside the war, some died of assassination, and Zuo Zengchun was seriously injured and could not stand up.

When he arrived at Zuo's house, Zuo Zengchun lay on **, his face was gray and his body could not move. Medicine and food are often fed here and spit out there. He is less than 40 years old, but now he looks like an old man over 60.

It really responds to that sentence. Is it still possible to eat?

The king and minister are relatively speechless. There is no need for false comfort between them, and they disdain to learn from the timid people and sigh. However, before Yi Fuqun got up and left, Zuo Zengchun struggled to say, "Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body!"

Yi Buchun looked at this loyal old subordinate and saw from his eyes that the defeat of Xiangluo was irreparable. Zuo Zengchun said that he intended to die in the country and finally said goodbye to Yi Buchun.

Yi Butun nodded to him and then walked out of the room.

The dark in winter came very early. After Yibuqun's car left the left the left house, he drove towards the palace. Some people knelt on the side of the road, ragged clothes, and their thin shadows looked particularly desolate in the snow.

After driving, I seemed to hear a faint cry from a nearby residential house, mixed with the bleak north wind. In the winter night, it was indescribably uncomfortable.

Yi Busun sat in the car and seemed to figure out something. The first thing he did after returning to the palace was to walk into Qionghua Palace, where the eunuchs were used to the emperor's daily presence and carefully retreated to serve outside the palace gate.

Everything in Qionghua Palace is as usual. On the wall, there is a portrait of a lady painted by Dan Qingmiao. In the painting, the beauty smiles like flowers, and her eyes are clear and soft with a little naughty and cunning. It is exactly the first appearance that Yi Buchun has seen on Chisheng Mountain.

Yi's group walked slowly in the hall, gently brushed every object he had used for the first time, and finally returned to the portrait. Reaching out and gently touching the eyebrows of the person in the painting, he whispered, "I'm fed up with looking at your portrait every day and thinking about these dead things!" I have nothing left, I... as long as there is a real you."

After saying that, his fingertips exhaled, and with a hisss, the portrait fell under his feet in pieces of confetti.

The eunuch maids waiting outside the palace were shocked by the loud noise from the palace. They looked at each other but did not dare to enter at will, because they knew that the emperor would never allow them to enter and disturb at this time.

It was not until later that thick smoke and fire appeared in the doors and windows that the palace eunuchs knew that something had happened.

This hall is a grass, and every chess piece is a treasure cherished by the emperor. If it is burned... the consequences are unimaginable.

Just as everyone was preparing to find someone to put out the fire and invite the emperor out, they saw Yi Buqun walking out of the hall with a calm face and ignored the thick smoke and fire behind him.

Is it... that this fire was set by the emperor?!

So, can you save it?

The eunuchs did not dare to say anything. Seeing that Yi Buch were far away, they quickly dispersed and cleaned up their families and withdrew from Qionghua Palace. The originally gorgeous hall was burned into a piece of gravel and scorched earth in full view of the public.

Yibuqun walked alone to the high of the white jade steps in front of the Jinluan Hall, and the cold wind roared on his face. Yibuqun did not feel cold. What really made him feel cold was the chill in the depths of his heart.

Looking at the eunuch's bodyguards who couldn't hide their fear and trembling behind him, Yi Buqun suddenly felt bored. He once thought that if he became the emperor, he could kill all the people he wanted to kill, enjoy all the wealth of the world, and make everyone trembling and submit to his feet.

These things that he once longed for now look so disgusting to him.

He has had enough!

That night, the eunuch gathered all the concubines, princes and princesses in the palace to the long vacant Yongning Palace according to Yi Buchun's instructions, and greeted them with three feet of white silk and a glass of poisoned wine.

Then, he came to the cold palace and curled up in a ragged figure in a shabby corner of the temple, trembling in the chill. The man's gray and scattered hair, sunken eyes, and wrinkles and ugly deformed face can no longer be seen.

The thick and tall figure slowly approached, picked up the man's collar in one hand, and whispered, "Mother, I'm here to free you..."

A cold light flashed in his hand, and a snowy dagger fell into the man's left chest. The man's throat groaned and died with a crooked head.

The person who came was Yi Buchun. He looked at the corpse on the ground and sneered: "Hahaha, I, sure enough, sure enough... slaughtered all the father and mother... It's really a lonely star!"
