Chapter 40 Things in the story
Chen Can listened to Qingzhu's words and nodded slightly, "Weichen also heard that the prince of Northern Qin was very dissatisfied with his side concubine. He once threatened that she was not a virgin and was injured at the banquet * Lv Qingzhu in the royal palace. Later, the political princess ran away from home in anger."
"That was in the past," the third prince knew everything and said endlessly, "Today is different from the past. The current political princess is a popular in Northern Qin, spoiling the harem. Not to mention the prince of politics, even King Qin You looks at her differently."
"Your name is Qingzhu?" The eldest prince raised half of his eyebrows, looked sideways at the men and women who hugged each other, and asked disdainfully, "Why do you have the same name as the princess of the prince?" As soon as Tian said that Qingzhu was an extraordinary woman, he vaguely felt that this was a scam, because Tianyi always had a deep friendship with Zheng Wen and wanted to make up rumors to give him more opportunities to seize the throne. Now Zheng Wen is the same father's son and son. If he adds a goddess, won't he have more chances to win? Whether this matter is true or not, he can't convince his father that this woman is the rumored person who saved the world. Otherwise, when he sees the flowers in his hand, he will fall into the hands of others.
"I'm afraid you want to confuse her and make people mistake her for the reincarnation of a goddess!" The second prince said that the three of them had always been the boss. One spoke rudely, and the other two quickly talked, especially in dealing with Zheng Wen. The three brothers surprisingly worked together.
"I think it's beautiful, but I heard that the princess was arrested that night. Now she lives in the bamboo garden of the royal palace. Qin Zheng accompanied her every night and even went out of the door!" The second prince said.
"What do you do if you don't go out and stay in the bamboo garden every day?" The third prince asked, "Isn't Qin Zheng the most romantic, bloodthirsty, ruthless and cruel? How can he stand it if he faces a woman all day?
"That's not necessarily. Of course, it was impossible in the past, but now, on the other hand, Miss Lu is rumored to be a goddess. The world knows that only those who get the truth of the goddess can win the world. Qin Zheng has always been very ambitious. If you coax this woman and use her to work for herself, why not do it?" The eldest prince's face was full of envy when he said this.
Qingzhu and Zheng Wen looked at each other for a long time and were confused. They were obviously in the State of Zheng. What kind of trick did the damn Qin Zheng do? No matter what medicine you sell in the gourd, I, Lv Qingzhu, will never be fooled.
After listening for a long time, King Zheng Heng finally sighed and said, "Oh, let the Northern Qin Jie go first, but it doesn't matter. Anyway, I don't believe in any nonsense that any goddess can complete great things. In my opinion, as long as we work together, he will definitely achieve his wish every day. He can still promote our country without asking for any goddess. Wei, revitalize the country." Zheng Guojun and Wang are very resourceful. There is no need to know the real purpose of Qin Zheng's love for raising his concubine, which must be useful one day in the future.
"Your Majesty," Chen gang agrees with this point. "If you want the country to be rich and the people to be strong, you need your own efforts and blindly place your hopes on others. It's better to be self-reliant. Just like this rebellion in southern Xinjiang, if we wait for the reinforcements of the State of Yan again and again, I'm afraid we haven't calm down the traitors yet! "
A few months ago, a sudden mutiny occurred in the southern border of the tribe under Zheng's jurisdiction. Because Zheng Wen's poisoning was during the recuperation period at that time, the rebel forces were getting stronger and bigger, and the bandits sent by Zheng Guo many times returned without success. Zheng once sent a distress signal to the neighboring State of Yan, but the rescuers of the State of Yan were late. Later, Zheng Wen cut his flesh and released blood to relieve the poison. Before the poison was dispersed, he took the battle with injuries. He fought brilliantly with the rebels and was known as the god of war. He was called the god of war, which made the southern Xinjiang tribes like flowers and rivers and his vitality were seriously injured. Therefore, he had to submit to the State of Zheng again, which was one of the main reasons why King Zheng Heng valued Zheng Wen more, because he was indeed the best of all his children.
In Zheng Wang's mind, Zheng Wen can bear the important task. At least at this moment, he is better than any child. "When it comes to southern Xinjiang, I still can't let go. At present, the overall situation in southern Xinjiang has been determined, but there are still four remnants of lingering. Up to now, they have not given up their heart and have been drifting out. I'm afraid that if they join hands with each other, they will form a larger power group. At that time, it will be difficult to eliminate them. It's better to annihilate them one by one before the climate is formed, saving them for a long time. For a long time, it's always a heart disease. Unfortunately, I'm afraid I can't wait for the day when Zheng Guowei will shock all over the world!
"The emperor is wise and martial, and the candle shines for thousands of miles." Everyone raised their hands to agree.
Tianyi Mei suggested, "Since the emperor always cares about this matter, it's better to send several princes to suppress the bandits, so that the holy wish can be achieved as soon as possible, and secondly, they can also experience them to see who is the pillar who will take on important responsibilities in the future." His intention is obvious, and he hopes that King Zheng Heng will pass this opportunity to test the promotion of the future crown prince.
"Well, what the master said is very true." Zheng Wang's thick eyebrows grew into a Sichuan shape, and then slowly stretched, "I also have this intention." I have passed the age of flowers, which was already a long life in ancient times, and my already weak body is getting worse and worse. When I come in at night, I often can't sleep at night and think too much. I always think about which child can follow his style and govern Zheng more powerfully after a hundred years later.
Chen Gang added, "Why don't we take this suppression of bandits as a contract? No matter whether the prince clears the scattered army in southern Xinjiang, he will be the winner of this competition by returning to Rongcheng first. Tomorrow morning, he will send troops to leave."
"Okay," King Zheng Heng gave a high-five. "The winner will become the prince of Zheng at that time. The future monarch, the loser will hand over all his military power to the winner for unified management, and will never discuss politics again."
There are a lot of boos in the Qiankun Hall. The emperor has always been wise and resourceful. How could such a major event be decided by a game to select the emperor? This is not his usual style. Since the emperor opened his mouth and everyone did not dare to raise objections, then they also flattered, "The emperor is excellent and wise, which is really the best strategy!"
The emperor's intention is naturally not understood by everyone, but Tianyi and Chen Can still roughly understand one or two. King Zheng Heng wanted to let Zheng Wen inherit the throne, but he was afraid that after he went west, Empress Zheng and the eldest prince would join forces to govern. At that time, even if he really had the spirit in heaven, it would be difficult to protect Zheng Wen's mother and son for a safe life. Therefore, he wanted to take this opportunity to seize the military power of the old man, so as to save the remaining three brothers from restlessness in the future.
The four brothers have their own plans.
"Your Majesty," Chen Gang looked worriedly at Rouxi, "Since the truth of the matter is revealed, some people still need to arrange it properly." The implication is to ask King Zheng Heng to give Rouxi a name. After inexplicably suffering for so many years, she finally survived today.
Rouxi had already been helped up from the cold ground by the maids and sat on a beautiful couch. Her eyes were empty and godless. With her current identity, she may be the future empress dowager. Her son finally found that her ancestors should have been happy, but somehow she couldn't laugh. Because she knew that she had become the emperor's woman and could never look at that man again.
King Zheng Heng saw the strangeness in Rouxi's eyes and said softly, "Youxi, come here!"
After a trance, Rouxi came to her senses. Although she was unwilling, she still dared not disobey the emperor's intention. She lowered her head and took a small step to the emperor.
The woman in front of her is in her early 30s, less young and more charming than a young woman, which is more touching than 20 years ago. Looking at this little face entangled in the dream, Zheng Heng couldn't help stretching out his hand to touch the white jade-like skin. However, Rouxi exclaimed, hid behind Chen Cheng, and timidly stared at the ugly and elderly man with frightened eyes. In fact, she didn't want to avoid it, but she had never been intimate with a man. There were a large number of people present today, and she was even more afraid of it.
The original joy on Zheng Hengwang's face was frozen in an instant, and he looked at Chen Gang and Rouxi as if they were thinking.
Qingzhu and Zheng Wen are worried and don't know what to do.
This situation stimulated everyone's reverie. Some whispered, some sneered, and said to himself, if the emperor thought that the woman had been betrayed, he might take the life of Rouxi and her son in anger. They were all waiting for a good play to be staged.
For a long time, Zheng Wang's frozen face gradually thawed. "Mrsou is hard and has a good way to teach her children. One person brought Zheng Wen up. He is a hero among men, and you are also a model among women. I have a separate courtyard in the western suburbs. I have the right to reward your mother and son. In a few days, I heard that you will return to Rongcheng from southern Xinjiang, and you will move together. Go ahead!"
His words were very soft, and there was no sign of anger. It seemed that it was not himself who was rejected, but others.
"Father," the eldest prince doesn't seem to give up. It's good to see the mother and son humiliated. "In the story you just told, is that woman here?" He just wanted to arouse the emperor's anger. As long as King Zheng was angry, he would definitely sentence the woman without virtue in front of him. At that time, Zheng Wen's status as the prince was also questionable.
King Zheng's eyes slanted at the eldest prince, smiling like a breeze, and the floating clouds were thin.
"What is said in the story is yes or not, and what is in the story is not, it is not, it is not. A story is a story, and a story is a story. Qingzhu suddenly sang a small song that people had never heard before. In his previous life, he liked this song very much. He felt that the current situation and the lyrics were very appropriate, so he smiled and sang it to today.
"You little girl, you really get in love with me!" King Zheng Heng suddenly laughed loudly, "I just told a story casually, and you don't have to delve into it, but I will never be biased in this competition. Whether it's a parent or an adopted son, as long as I win, I will never break my promise."
