you are the minutiae of the world

Qi State surrendered to Wei State, and the whole world was in an uproar. When the news came out, everyone thought it was Qi State's strategy. It was not until Chu Xiongjie really handed over military power and financial power to Wei Shang that the world knew that Qi State had really surrendered. It didn't take much effort for Qi Huang Chu Xiongjie to lead his troops to surrender.

Don't say that people in the world don't understand, even Wang Keyu is full of doubts. Ever since Chu Xiongjie said he surrendered, he really went back to prepare, but Wang Keyu didn't believe it, and was vigilant against him. After leaving the capital of King Qi and Wang Ting, Chu Xiongjie and his family were imprisoned in the side hall of the palace, Wang Keyu had a real feeling, but the ensuing doubts became deeper and deeper. He wanted to ask Zhuo Yu, but As soon as Zhuo Yu arrived at the Qi Palace, he disappeared. Wang Keyu had no choice but to give up and continue to arrange the next thing. Without Zhuo Yu's order, he just imprisoned Chu Xiongjie and others. There are no brothers and sisters, and there are few wives and concubines in the harem. There is a mother, the Queen Mother of Qi, but she is not his biological mother.

Zhuo Yu went back to Changning Pavilion, he stepped into the steps of Changning Pavilion, and saw Xiao Qingzi who was waiting for him at the door.

Goodbye to the old friend, Xiao Qingzi's eyes were already red, she knelt down towards Zhuo Yu from a distance, her voice choked up, "Master."

Zhuo Yu walked up to him and stretched out his hand to help him up.

When the master and servant met each other, Xiao Qingzi saw Zhuo Yu's middle-aged and thin appearance, her heart ached so badly, she grabbed Zhuo Yu's sleeve and wept uncontrollably.He still remembered his master's appearance when he first entered the palace, and he was a different person from now. In the past few years, his master had experienced what he had gone through. He was a good person and got into this state. Fortunately, he is still there.

"Don't cry," Zhuo Yu comforted him lightly, "Go into the room and talk."

Xiao Qingzi nodded, and led Zhuo Yu into the house. Once inside, Zhuo Yu found that the Changning Pavilion was exactly the same as before the fire, as if the fire did not exist back then.Seeing her master's doubts, Xiao Qingzi explained: "These are the emperors..." She felt inappropriate as she said that, Xiao Qingzi had already heard about Qi's surrender, and she also knew about their current situation in Qi. Emperor Chu Xiongjie was arrested, so he changed his words and said: "Chu Xiongjie ordered the craftsman to repair, and all the decorations were also arranged by him. The servant did not expect that Chu Xiongjie would remember how every plant and tree in Changning Xuan was. It was placed, in fact, Chu Xiongjie..." Xiao Qingzi paused, and then said cautiously: "After we planned to leave, Chu Xiongjie frantically searched for the whereabouts of the master, but he couldn't find it anywhere... ...That year, the Qi State was hit by a snowstorm and the government was busy, but Chu Xiongjie put down piles of memorials and stayed in Changning Pavilion every day...Master... Maybe Chu Xiongjie didn't treat you badly Affection."

Zhuo Yu quietly listened to Xiao Qingzi's words, he sat there, slowly took a sip of the tea Xiao Qingzi poured for him, the expression on his face remained unchanged: "You mean, Chu Xiongjie has a deep-seated love for me? "

Xiao Qingzi opened her mouth, wanting to speak, but she closed her mouth again after thinking about the past.

That day Zhuoyu sat in Changning Pavilion for a long time, and when he was lighting the lamp at night, Wang Keyu came to report that Chu Xiongjie wanted to see him.Zhuo Yu agreed, and asked Wang Keyu to bring Chu Xiongjie, and then Zhuo Yu ordered Wang Keyu to stay outside, leaving only the two of them inside.

They met in Changningxuan.

When Chu Xiongjie saw Zhuo Yu, he couldn't hide his joy.But Zhuo Yu still had that indifferent appearance, neither sad nor happy.

"The position you are standing at," Zhuo Yu looked at Chu Xiongjie coldly, "It is the position where I burned my child with my own hands."

The joy on Chu Xiongjie's face faded instantly, he wanted to go back, but felt as if he was fixed in place by Zhuo Yu's cold gaze.

Zhuo Yu pointed to the hideous scar between his eyebrows: "The cinnabar on my forehead was cut off by myself with a knife."

Zhuo Yu lifted up his robe, and put his hands on his thigh, where a large piece was sunken: "I fled in the year of the snowstorm, in order to survive, I gouge out the flesh from my own body and eat it."

Zhuo Yu put down his robe and opened his arms: "I just ran away after giving birth, my body is exhausted, and I don't think I will live long."

"But the pain I have experienced is not as good as what you gave me."

"My father, father, and third brother's death were all fueled by you."

"Chu Xiongjie, do you think that if you hand over Qi to me, I will miss your kindness?"

"I won't kill you, but we don't have to say goodbye."

Chu Xiongjie stood opposite Zhuo Yu, like falling into an ice cave.

A year later, Wei took down Wu County and turned it into Junzhou, Qi State became Qi County, and unified the world.

Qi Emperor Chu Xiongjie voluntarily surrendered, and his family was not executed. He only moved the Chu family out of Qi County to Changmo, a small city in Wei State. You can't take half a step out of Changmo, otherwise you will be killed without mercy.This imperial decree is tantamount to imprisoning Chu Xiongjie in a small city, but Chu Xiongjie is not dissatisfied.

Chu Xiongjie stayed in Changmo for five years. During the five years, he kept his own law and order, did not take a step out of Changmo, did not cultivate influence, and did not ask about anything related to the government. I saw it once in Changmo.

He didn't want anything, but often stared in the direction of the capital in a daze. He hoped that the country would be prosperous and the people safe, and that the weather would be smooth. Only in this way can the people who care about him be less troubled.

Chu Xiongjie has no power of his own, no spies, he doesn't know if the man in the palace is eating well, sleeping well, tired, sad...whether he will think of himself for a moment...

One day, when he was walking through the city, he felt a sudden choking in his chest. He looked up and saw the white lantern hanging at the gate of the prefect.

He heard the people passing by around him whispering in their mouths.

"National mourning..."

He hurriedly turned around, and suddenly, the magistrate came out from the government office, dressed in white, with sad eyes: "Emperor Ye passed away..."

Chu Xiongjie stood firmly in the crowd, his throat was sweet, and when he realized it, his face was full of tears.
