Assassin A

【King Geng Chapter】

Li Zan still remembered that on the day his mother died, there was a heavy snowfall in the capital.

He was standing in the corridor, wrapped in a thick cotton coat, and the maid who was closest to his mother wrapped a soft and warm mink wool scarf around his neck.

Snow-white snow-white fur covered most of his face, only a pair of eyes stared blankly at the lifeless door.

Inside the door were mothers, imperial physicians who rushed over with a medicine box on their backs, court ladies who treated him very well and often teased him, and... father who just arrived.

However, so many people are busy in vain.Mother, she left anyway, taking Li Zan's unborn brother or sister with her, and left without knowing why.

Mother, just a "lucky little nobleman with a good stomach".Later, when Li Zan thought of these words again, he would always smile slightly.The so-called mother is more expensive than the child?His arrival didn't seem to bring any good luck to Mother.

Li Zan couldn't remember the grand funeral arranged by his father for his mother. All his childhood memories stayed at the moment when his mother died.

He used to like to lie on his mother's belly every day, asking: "Is it the younger brother? Is it the younger sister?"

"Does Zan'er want a younger brother or a younger sister?"

Mother's smile is always so warm.Or because it was lost too early, even if there was unwillingness and resentment, it was modified by Li Zan's memory to be warm...

"younger sister!"

"Nonsense! When my mother asks you again, you just say you want a younger brother, you know?"

"Well... I like my sister."

Brother or sister?It doesn't matter, I'm going with my mother anyway.

After his mother died, he was posthumously named a noble concubine, and Li Zan was adopted to the childless Concubine Lin.He has always kept the white sable hair scarf, and it used to have a faint fragrance, which is the incense commonly used by mother.But after a long time, the smell became weaker and weaker, and finally I couldn't smell it anymore.

Some memories and the sadness in my heart also fade away with the faint fragrance.

Concubine Lin is a well-behaved and good woman, this is Li Zan's evaluation of her in his heart.

Everything that needs to be cared about and taken care of is done according to etiquette, and he never treats him badly and neglects him, but that's all.Li Zan likes Concubine Lin's quiet demeanor, she wakes up neatly every day, dresses neatly, sits in the room dressed properly, embroiders flowers, and teases the kittens.

When he went to pay his respects, he asked about his homework and his appetite.Instruct him on all aspects of etiquette, and how to behave when meeting someone.He also told him: "If you say a lot, you will make many mistakes. Although a dumb person is not painful, it is not annoying."

Li Zan has been trying his best to make himself obedient.

Because, occasionally when he is doing well, Concubine Lin will talk to him extra, touch his head, hold his hand and say: "Zan'er is like a mother, and she doesn't like to make trouble. Okay. Your brothers are still young, around the age of ten or so, who doesn’t play around all day long? The one who gets hit by your brother once or twice is not bullying, but playing with you. Come, have a taste of this snack. "

Take him by your side and feed him with your own hands.This memory is also very good...

Maybe it's Concubine Lin's gentleness that keeps her stable in the harem, and even Li Zan's life goes smoothly.

Other people's mothers were fighting over and over again, and a certain emperor brother who was fighting with him a few days ago went to quarrel with another in a few days.Mothers' struggles, often carried over to their children, seem to have become the rule.

No one can be a good brother who can really talk to anyone, especially in a place like the palace.

Li Zan tried to secretly tell "Mother" about this idea, but Concubine Lin just smiled: "Zan'er is a smart boy."

Later, the situation seemed to become serious, and the princes came of age one after another, and finally only the youngest, Li Zan, was still living in the palace.Of course, there is also the prince.

Suddenly one day Concubine Lin called him over, and the waiters were pushed back to make him kneel down.

"I know that you have always hated your mother so much that you didn't know how to avenge her, but now there are only you and the prince left in the palace, and no matter who was so cruel back then, you can't use those little tricks in the past. "

Li Zan glared at this woman as if meeting this woman for the first time: "Mom..."

"I'm not your mother." Concubine Lin picked up the half-embroidered flower frame, kept fingering, and didn't look up at him: "You have been a very smart child since you were a child, and you never made trouble for me after you recognized me. That's good. But now it's not the same as before, do you think provocation is enough? You don't have a place behind the imperial case, even if you are my own, mother won't let you fight for it."

Li Zan knelt straight, speechless.

"When a person dies, he is dead. You are entrusted to this place, so don't think that everything will be fair. The parents of other people's families hope that their children will become dragons. You are already a dragon when you are born, but you have thought about what you should do in the future with this status. What? Just to avenge your mother?"

"My child... I don't know."

Back then, Li Zan really didn't know, and he really didn't expect that Concubine Lin, who was like a bowl of boiled water, would say such things to him.

It was Concubine Lin's long conversation with him that cut off his whims, and it was Concubine Lin's words that gave him a blow.

A dignified man, he always calculates his own petty interests, one point of hatred will be remembered for a lifetime, and three points of hatred will be buried with the whole family. This is not what a man, let alone a prince, should do.

Li Zan remembered that Concubine Lin's father was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials at that time, and he was also a famous Confucianist in the north and south.It is said that Cai in the south and Lin in the south, that the Cai family in the south has a large number of talents, but the Lin family in the capital has only one son who is not very outstanding, the younger brother of Concubine Lin.

Suddenly, Li Zan seemed to have a little inspiration.If Concubine Lin is a man... Based on her various actions in the harem, I'm afraid there will be someone in Beilin as well, right?

"The child knows his mistake!"

For the first time in Li Zan's life, he confessed to Concubine Lin.Also after this first time, he was led to a new world, open and vast.Also, no more of the dirty tricks he used to be good at...

But the second time he admitted his mistake, he was facing a three-story wooden frame.

There are thirty tablets on the shelf, from the first day to the thirty.

Slowly wipe every tablet, as well as the silver hairpin that has been placed in front of the tablet.Since he took over Xuanji Camp, many spies and assassins have died...

"I entrusted Xuanji Camp to you because I valued Concubine Lin's upbringing for you. Xuanji Camp supervises all officials but must not get close to any faction. Encouraging one will only make one party dominate. You need to know what you want to maintain It is the balance of all parties, allowing them to check each other, is the way to stabilize the country."

What if the emperor is fatuous?

Li Zan didn't ask this question out loud.Emperor Father didn't make this issue clear either, but just gave him three secret edicts.One can be used to dispatch and mobilize the Gyeonggi General Army and all its troops in times of crisis, one can directly instruct those who hold secret edicts to temporarily lead the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and one can specially recruit Zhubei King to lead the army to Beijing in times of chaos.

Li Zan knew that none of the three secret edicts could be tampered with.Otherwise, it will only destabilize the country he has poured his heart and soul into.He also knew that his father must have another person to restrain him.Maybe it's a certain imperial brother, or a certain important minister.

In the end, two secret edicts to mobilize troops and horses were buried deep in Concubine Lin's palace.On it, Li Zan planted a lot of daylilies by himself. He is about to leave the palace and establish a mansion.

"Mother, the baby is going out, do you have any special instructions?"

Concubine Lin still looked at him with a faint but warm smile: "Don't be self-willed."

Li Zan lowered his head: "Kid, remember."

Concubine Lin shook her head with a smile: "You, you have to stumble to remember."

The new emperor ascended the throne, and the Xuanji camp changed hands.

As expected, Li Zan was hit by Concubine Lin... This stumble was hard enough!

【Gyeongnam King Chapter】

Rong Min's biggest dream when he was a child was to have an older brother or younger brother to play with him.However, he only has one older sister, and she is so quiet that she would faint when she saw him climbing a tree.

Even so, he likes to joke around with his sister.Stealing her kitten, stepping on her skirt, jumping out from behind a tree and making her howl.

Every now and then, the old prince would sigh, hug him on his lap and shake him: "Min'er's temperament is neither like me nor like the princess, but he is [-]% similar to his little uncle."

Rong Min really likes little uncle.But the gentlemen in the palace always told him, "Young uncle is ignorant, and the son of the world must not learn from him."

Is it because the little uncle is ignorant and incompetent when he runs around the rivers and lakes with a sword in his hand?But he can compose poems, play the piano, draw pictures, and pick fruits from trees. "It's delicious to eat."

So Rong Min also went to pick it, and finally the horse stumbled and fell down once, so the old prince was very angry and wanted to cut down all the fruit trees in the palace.Rong Min cried loudly: "Don't! I won't pick it from now on."

It's not enough just not to climb the tree. The old prince's physical condition has been getting worse every day since the princess passed away. For future plans, he can only bring the young Rong Min with him.

Eleven or twelve-year-old children hand in hand every day.Farming, water conservancy, saltworks, tea gardens...

Rong Min practiced martial arts, but he gave up after three days of excitement.Later, Mr. Cai, his teacher at that time, came up with a trick and bought over a dozen orphans to study and practice martial arts with him, which really fulfilled Rong Min's dream of becoming a child leader.

However, this also quickly becomes extremely boring.

What about studying, those children are still young, learning stroke by stroke from scratch, but Rong Min already has to help his father with official duties, and is often called to listen to lectures in front of the counselors in the mansion.

For practicing martial arts, even if those children are gifted and powerful, they would not dare to fight for real with Xiao Shizi.Only a silly man named Pu Shao dared to make a few gestures.As a result, Mu Jian smashed a bag on Rong Min's head, and Pu Shao was beaten all over his head by his master...

Rong Min's injury was the biggest matter in the Qingnan Palace.

That bag earned the princess countless tears.She has only one younger brother, although she was naughty since childhood, she knew that Rong Min was very close to her.

The younger brother is poor, and his mother left when he was two years old.Even though she was well-clothed and well-fed since she was a child, the eldest princess saw several times the luxuriously-dressed little son secretly standing behind the corner of the rock, watching the children of the house servants playing and acting like a spoiled child with her mother.

She kept her brother in her heart, and all her thoughts were about Rong Min.But she is a daughter after all, and she is going to get married...

That day when she was sitting in the bridal sedan chair, she heard her younger brother roar loudly outside: "Don't take my sister away!"

Rong Min held his small wooden sword and led a group of children to stop in front, stubbornly raised his chin: "Come on, drag those who want to snatch my sister away and hack them to death!"

The group of children froze and didn't dare to move, only Pu Shao jumped out and chopped the thigh of one of the bearers with his wooden sword.

The old prince was trembling with anger, "Unfilial son! Come back to me!"

Rong Min's round face flushed red: "I don't! Father, my sister is going to be snatched away by the wicked!" Of course he knew that this was her sister who was getting married, and he also knew that in the future there would be a man who would treat her very well. Okay, but he only has one older sister!That dead man just wanted to find a wife and pick up any woman, why did he come to snatch his sister?

However, his pretending to be stupid can easily be seen through by the old prince.

This kid Rong Min has been good at sophistry since he was a child, if you try to reason with him, you will be stunned by him if you don't keep it safe, it would be more fun to take it directly by force.

Being held down by three or four palace guards and struggling in vain, watching her sister's wedding procession go further and further...

He was only 13 and a half years old when the eldest princess got married, and the old prince passed away just two years later.

An imperial decree came from the capital, saying that Rong Min was young, so he appointed a civil servant to come to the Southern Region to assist him until he reached the age of eighteen to inherit the position of vassal king.

Unfortunately, in Rong Min's eyes, only Mr. Cai, entrusted by his father at the end of his life, is qualified to assist him.What sent from the capital? "The emperor just wants to take advantage of my young age to extend his claws to the southern region!"

Cai Ting frowned: "My lord, pay attention to your words!"

Rong Min smiled contemptuously: "Southern Region is my territory and also my home, so why not curse at my own home?"

"My lord, do you know that there is a King Geng who is three years older than you in the capital? He took over the Xuanji camp at a young age. And this Xuanji camp specializes in eavesdropping on the words and deeds of all the ministers. It is said that it is omnipotent and omnipotent."

"Oh? The king really wants to meet these spies and assassins from the Xuanji camp!"

It's a pity that I didn't see the Xuanji camp, but I saw a lot of inexplicable assassins.

How many people want him to die?After his death, the Rong family in the Southern Region has no direct descendants, so can the emperor withdraw the domain?It's a pity that God's wishes didn't come true, firstly, his life was very big, and secondly, his skinny sister was prolific, and she had three children in five years, including a pair of twins!

"Hahaha! I'm an uncle~~"

However, when he was happy, Rong Min said to Cai Ting: "I drew up a secret letter, and the second son of the adoptive princess will be the son of the Qingnan Palace. Although my brother-in-law is a bit gentle, his character is still very good, and he is also a poet." Book family, don’t have to worry about fighting for power and profit. The children they raise must be much better than the women I was married to by those with ulterior motives.”

Mr. Cai was in a cold sweat: "My lord, you think too much."

Rong Min smiled: "Which one can marry here is not a daughter of a thousand pieces of gold. If you touch her little hand, you will say that you are breaking the rules, but you still have to have a baby with them. Isn't it strange? If you want to take a concubine, you will start fighting and jealousy again, making the palace messy." Chaos, don't take concubines, do you want me to suffocate? It's better to be a man..."

Cai Ting almost fainted: "Wang, lord... When will it start, you like a man?"

Rong Min pouted: "I don't like it. I don't like a man, and I don't like a woman. The person I like has not been born yet!"

As the old man said, it is easy to slap when you are full of words.

When the closest people around him left Rong Min one after another, he had long planned to live his life in peace.His father asked him to be a good feudal lord, and made him kneel down and swear that the people of the Southern Region would come first.He has complied and implemented all of this, and he has implemented it very thoroughly.

Mr. Cai once said that the little prince's thoughts are too weird, and even he can't figure out the people around him.

Rong Min can take the trouble to deal with all the farmland and water conservancy matters in the Southern Region. He can take the government for the sake of the livelihood of the people in the Southern Region or make false claims. He can even spread rumors about his preference for men in order not to be plotted into a marriage.

After assisting the little prince for many years, Mr. Cai finally asked, and Rong Min said: "If I treat these peasants well, they will return them to me wholeheartedly, which is many times better than those nobles who are full of morality. There is such a What do the people want in this life?"

So when he was steadily walking the path he had arranged for himself, he finally saw the assassins of Xuanji Camp.

This guy who lied to him, saved him, was loyal to him, and protected him.

Also, he doesn't just know how to obey like others.The first time he lied to him by pretending to be a tea farmer, he used a pole to trick him.When he became his bodyguard for the second time, he had stopped him because of his willful will.

Then there was the blood-dripping fist with the long sword clenched tightly, and the look of falling to the ground with disheveled hair and serious injuries.

It's so annoying that everyone who is really close to him leaves him, goes or dies.Little uncle, sister, father and king...the mother who has no memory.

Is this guy going too?Will it?
