Chapter 2 Wind and Rain 1

Thirty-six years of Changyuan, late autumn.

The people of Qi began to store food for the winter, but the hearts of the people seemed to become colder and colder with the advent of winter. The capital near the palace is okay, but the people in some remote areas have opened *, and sometimes even openly fight with local officials and soldiers.

Qi Fei, no, should be called Qi Yu. As a prince, he has lived in this world for seven years. He gradually began to forget the world that brought him endless despair. In a trance, he would feel that he might be the prince of the State of Qi, and the world full of steel and cement was just a dream. But whenever he remembered Shen Yan's face, his heart ached as if he had been torn, and the pain clearly reminded him of the world.

"Fourth brother, what are you thinking about?" Although the eldest prince Qi Ming saw Qi Yu holding his chin in his hands, he couldn't help but be curious for a long time, "Isn't he thinking about his daughter-in-law?"

"Brother, do you like Sister Yu?" Qi Yu asked in a milky voice.

"She is my concubine. What do you like or dislike, but to be honest, I really can't stand her sick appearance." Qi Ming said, "I still like to be more cheerful. In a few days, I will ask my father to accept another concubine for me. This time I will choose a more lively one."

"A second concubine? Sister Yu will be sad." In Qi Yu's concept, a man should only be responsible for one woman, "How can a man make a woman sad?"

Qi Ming looked at Qi Yu's serious preaching and couldn't help laughing, "How old are you? Just tell me this? You and I are in the emperor's house, and there will be more than a dozen concubines in the future. Don't you think your father also has several concubines? According to what you say, our mother should not die of sadness?

"Anyway, I will only be good to one person in the future." Qi Yu said.

"Fourth brother, tomorrow you will go to Chengdeyuan to study with Liu Taifu. Not to mention that I didn't remind you, that Liu Taifu..." Qi Ming just half said, and he couldn't help shaking his head with a painful face. "That old man always likes to let people write poems. As long as he is not satisfied, he will punish us to copy the text, thinking In those years, I was killed by him. Look at the cocoon in my hand, it was copied from the book.

"Hey, fourth brother, I'm not afraid to write a poem. Isn't it just a poem? What's so difficult?"

"No more bragging. If you have the ability, you can make a song now."

"The wind is blowing and the sky is high, and the apes are roaring, and the white birds are flying back. The endless falling trees are falling, and the Yangtze River is rolling in. Thousands of miles of sad autumn often visited, and he appeared on the stage alone for more than a hundred years of illness. Difficulty and hateful frosty temples, pouring down new turbid wine glasses. Qi Yu recited Du Fu's "climbing height" in his previous life without thinking about it. Since ancient times, there have been seven steps into a poem, but the seven-year-old prince has not left yet. "Brother, how about my poem?"

"Well, it must have come from somewhere." Qi Ming said, "How old are you when you have been on the stage for more than a hundred years? More than a hundred years of illness?"

"This is artistic conception, artistic conception." Qi Yu's smile was a little distorted and thought to himself: That's right. Lao Du's poem is too inconsistent with the appearance of his motherland's flowers.

"What a hundred years of illness alone." Following the sound, the mainstream wood of the Shenyue Palace wore a white fox coat shawl and slowly walked towards Qi Yu and Qi Ming.

This is the first time Qi Yu has seen Liumu. I don't know why he doesn't like this pale man: "Brother, who is he?"

"Mr. Liu, how are you doing? I don't know what's going on in the palace this time?" Although Qi Ming was the eldest prince, he could still see that his attitude towards Liumu was quite respectful, and Qi Yu judged that the Liugong master was obviously not a running role.

"I'm going to Cangguo in ten days. Your father asked me to take Prince Feather with me." Liu Mu said, "Since I met Prince Yu here, I don't have to inform you on a special note. We will leave in ten days. Get ready."

"Father is really biased." Qi Ming said, "I heard that there are thousands of snow mountains in Cangguo. Mr. Liu, go and talk to your father and take me there."

"This won't work. Lu may raise troops to attack the State of Qi in the near future. Your father is going to send you to the front line to hone." Liu Mu said, "You are the eldest son and the eldest son of the emperor. It's time to make a military contribution back, otherwise it will be a little unconvinced that you will inherit the crown prince of the State of Qi in the future."

Hearing Liumu's words, Qi Ming said, "You are right. I will definitely destroy the cunning and treacherous Lu Kingdom in the future."

It's really a cheating guy, Qi Yu said secretly in his heart.

I don't know when the originally clear sky became cloudy and gusty wind.

"The weather is so strange that it's going to rain in the blink of an eye. Brother, let's go back quickly."

"Mr. Liu, then let's go first." Qi Yu said.

Looking at Qi Yu's back, Liu Mu thought of King Jinheng. He looked up at the cloudy sky: "The storm that is enough to sweep the whole world has finally come."

Queen's Palace.

"Queen, what are your troubles?" Mother Yin, who has served the Empress Shunde for 25 years, put the freshly brewed tea in front of the queen's small desk and asked softly.

"Mame Yin, I don't know why I feel stuffy in my chest recently, as if something is going to happen."

"This may be because of the dry autumn. I ordered the imperial dining room to make some food to clear away heat and fire for my mother."

"Forget it." Empress Shunde gently raised her hand and said, "The palace of Shenyue Palace mainly took Yuer to the country. What do you think of this matter?"

Mother Yin looked a little nervous. To some extent, she was even a little afraid to talk about Qi Yu to the queen: "The emperor has appointed the Ming prince. Are you worried?"

"You know, although Yuer is not my own child, she is also the flesh and blood of the emperor after all." Empress Shunde took a sip of tea and frowned, "But if the world knows Yuer's biological mother, the emperor will definitely be rejected by the people, which is exactly what I'm worried about. Mother Yin, you are an old man in the palace. Don't you feel that the atmosphere in the palace has become more and more tense recently? The ministers of the imperial court are waiting for the opportunity to overthrow the emperor.

"Queen, that's impossible. This world is the emperor's world. Even if there are rebels, King Jinheng will definitely stand at the forefront to prevent such a terrible thing from happening.

"But the Empress Dowager and the court ministers have turned their backs on the emperor, and even the people are completely disappointed with the monarch of this country. I believe that it will not be long before the storm comes, and the whole palace will be stained with blood. The emperor must have expected this, so he asked Liu Mu to take Yuer to Cangguo. After all, it was the only child born to the woman he had loved deeply. Queen Shunde's eyes were full of sadness. She smiled as if to laugh at herself and said, "As the queen, I command the six palaces, but I can't even get my husband's heart."

"Empress, please don't say that. The Ming prince has been crowned as the crown prince. In the future, you will be the empress dowager. Many people can't envy it."

"If I hadn't been in the palace... maybe I would have lived a happier life than now. Unfortunately, there is no if." Queen Shunde's eyebrows revealed a faint sadness, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance of sandalwood. "In terms of age, it should be seven years old. Mother Yin should take something to the Jinheng Palace and take a look at the child by the way."

"If you miss Princess Yan, I can ask King Jinheng's wife to bring her to the palace to show you. For the past seven years, you have refused to see the princess, but you always call the princess's name in the middle of the night. What's the pain?"

"It's not that I don't want to see Yiyan, but... but that I'm afraid that I can't let her leave me if I see her again. Instead of this, it's better not to see it."

Mother Yin wanted to say something more, but when she saw the tears falling from the corners of the queen's eyes, she could only be silent. Just as both of them fell silent, Qi Yu and Qi Ming walked into the hall one after another. The careful Qi Yu found that although there was nothing unusual in the expression of Empress Shunde, there were tears on her face. Obviously, she had just cried. Compared with Qi Yu, who is as careful as dust, Qi Ming seems to be much more nervous.

"Mother, ten days later, Mr. Liu will take his fourth brother to Cangguo. Has your mother already known about this?"

"Your father just told me that your father wants Yuer to meet the outside world."

"I think my father is too biased. He has given everything good to his fourth brother since he was a child. Alas, it's a pity that the State of Lu is ready to move. In a few days, my father may send me to the front line, otherwise I will definitely go to Cang to see the snowy mountains stretching for thousands of miles. I heard that the people of them are brave and good at fighting, but I want to see them. Know." Qi Ming said endlessly, "Fourth brother, don't envy me. When I make great achievements, I will be the great hero of the State of Qi. How about it? Are you proud to have such a heroic brother?"

Sweat, sweat...

What's the matter? Isn't it just sending troops to war? However, Qi Yu is very curious. In a world without * satellites, how to fight the so-called war? Is it the way everyone fights with machetes?

"It's not good to fight." Qi Ming said, "So, it's better not to fight."

"Why?" Qi Ming asked, "What's wrong with this war? If we win, we Qi can ask Lu for a large number of gold and silver treasures, even land. You can't say such a good thing."

"Alas, you don't understand." Qi Yu shook his head.

"What don't I understand, fourth brother, tell me what's wrong with fighting?"

"I also want to hear from Yuer, what's wrong with fighting?" It was no one else who spoke, but Emperor Qi.

"Your Majesty, you are here." As soon as the Empress Shunde remembered to salute, she was stopped by Emperor Qi. He looked at Qi Yu with great interest and said, "Why is the war not good?"

"As long as there is a war, it must be the people who suffer. Since the people suffer, why do they still fight?" Qi Yu said seriously, "And it costs a lot of money and manpower to fight a war. It's a good thing to defeat, but if it's defeated, it's really hell on earth." Somehow Qi Yu suddenly remembered the empire that did not set.

"However, if you don't attack other countries, other countries will attack you. What should you do?"
