A Piece of Li Song Changting Twilight

Zhao Nanke made false promises to the envoys of the Kingdom of Jin and coaxed them back for the time being, but actually began to fight secretly.He tried his best to push forward a series of reforms.Zhao Pingzhen wanted to stay in Lin'an to assist him in completing a series of political reforms, so he did not leave Beijing immediately to take up his post.

There are indeed a series of difficulties to be solved in order to continue fighting, the most important one being money.Because Zhao Nanke made the decision to lean towards the main combat faction, the household department in charge of money had the household secretary and a household servant hand in his resignation to the official department the next day, and the official department handed over the resignation to Zhao Nanke at noon that day. The speed is unprecedented.Without the Hubu Shangshu and Hubu Shilang, the Hubu would hardly be able to operate. This move is obviously a naked threat.However, what Zhao Nanke, who was born in the emperor's family, hated most in his life was being threatened by others, so it was self-defeating for them to behave like this.Zhao Nanke secretly wrote down the account, and then coerced them to continue working while looking for a new candidate to take over the household department.

During the period of preparing for the political reform, Zhao Pingzhen was under the greatest pressure.The intrigue in the officialdom is much deeper than what he has experienced in the past, and the power he has accumulated over the years is actually not much, so there are not a few people who treat him positively and negatively.Although Zhao Pingzhen has Qin Xiaolou, Wu Yi and others as his staff, it is still difficult to get things done.As a result, he thought of many ways to reduce stress, such as accepting child molestation, such as learning shadow puppetry.

Zhao Pingzhen could see that Zhao Nanke admired Qin Xiaolou very much, and also knew that Qin Xiaolou was definitely not someone in the pool. Ever since he met a young man who looked somewhat similar to Qin Xiaolou in the suburbs of Beijing, he had a thought— —Take that boy as a child prostitute and let him accompany her instead of Qin Xiaolou.He would have such thoughts, because as Qin Xiaolou's status increased day by day, it gradually became inappropriate to be a servant who also served as a counselor and bed warmer, so Zhao Pingzhen wanted to find someone to take his place, So that he can focus on another task.As for why the bed warmer still looked for Qin Xiaolou's appearance, he couldn't explain why, he could only say that he liked people with this face.As for why he didn't like Qin Chengxue, it was because Qin Chengxue's temper was really bad.

The boy Zhao Pingzhen found, who looked like Qin Xiaolou, was named Yu Xiaogu.Yu Xiaogu was a shadow puppet singer, so Zhao Pingzhen followed him to learn, and asked him to teach the skills to the concubines in his house, so that he could watch the play all the time.

The personalities of Yu Xiaogu and Qin Xiaolou are very different, one is so soft that people can't grasp the spine, and the other is so hard that even an iron rod can't break the bones.Because Yu Xiaogu originally had a childhood friend, so Zhao Pingzhen used many methods, both hard and soft, but failed to make Yu Xiaogu follow him willingly.

Later, Yu Xiaogu committed some crimes, and Zhao Pingzhen deliberately made him suffer for a long time in the prison before rescuing him, and placed him in the mansion to recuperate, in order to take the opportunity to win his heart.

This day, Qin Xiaolou came to Zhao Pingzhen to discuss reform matters, because he came very frequently, Zhao Pingzhen specially ordered Qin Xiaolou to enter the mansion without notification, so when he passed by the backyard, he happened to meet Zhao Pingzhen who had just visited Yu Xiaogu who was recovering from his injuries.

Qin Xiaolou has always known about Zhao Pingzhen's love affairs, but Zhao Pingzhen likes him to mind but doesn't like his interference, so Qin Xiaolou said half-truthfully, "Who is your Highness hiding in the golden house?"

Zhao Pingzhen didn't know what to think, but said: "Do you want to meet?"

Qin Xiaolou was also taken aback, he didn't expect Zhao Pingzhen to ask such a question.But he quickly laughed, raising his eyebrows in a spirited response to provocation: "Okay."

So Zhao Pingzhen took Qin Xiaolou outside Yu Xiaogu's room, and opened the window for him to see.

At that time, Yu Xiaogu fell asleep facing the window and didn't know what was going on outside the window.Qin Xiaolou was stunned when he saw his appearance clearly.

Zhao Pingzhen let him watch for a while, then closed the window and asked, "Does it look like it?"

Qin Xiaolou said: "Like."

Zhao Pingzhen held the fan in his hand, and Wen Yan gently tapped on the palm of his hand: "I felt a little strange when I saw him for the first time. I thought that people with that appearance were ruthless and ungrateful The man who steers the helm, I didn't expect that he is not."

Qin Xiaolou smiled and said, "Then does His Highness like him like that, or like me like this?"

Zhao Pingzhen pondered for a moment, then said: "Let's go with him. Although he has a tough temper, he is easy to break. If he can be tempted by me, he must be single-minded."

Qin Xiaolou immediately expressed his sincerity: "I also have one heart and one mind for Zhenqing."

Zhao Pingzhen sneered with some disdain, and also bitterly bitterly said: "I heard that Gu Xiaojun visited the Qin Mansion last night, what did he ask you for?"

Qin Xiaolou said: "Probably his uncle sent him to be a lobbyist. He said that there is no rush for two years to go to war. He can spend ten years recuperating and recuperating. It will not be too late to avenge the Jin people when we are strong and strong." In fact, Qin Xiaolou could hear that there was something in Prime Minister Wang's words, and he was actually testing whether he wanted to take revenge on him.Zhao Pingzhen naturally recognized this level immediately.

Zhao Pingzhen sighed: "Ten years... is too long, I can't wait so long."

Qin Xiaolou narrowed his twinkling eyes and smiled, "That's what I answered him too."

The two entered the back room and talked about the obstacles encountered in the reform. Zhao Pingzhen couldn't help but said: "This group of stubborn old people keep saying that they are for the country, but in fact they are only for their own interests. Their interests are interests, and others' are not. What!"

Qin Xiaolou narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a soft voice: "There are still many people who only see immediate benefits, but can't see the long-term road. If the rule of not killing scholar-bureaucrats is abolished, how many people will applaud. "

Qin Wuya, who was ignorant back then, offended Prime Minister Wang several times, and Prime Minister Wang wanted to kill him quickly, but unfortunately he had nothing to rely on, so he could only find someone to assassinate Qin Wuya to get rid of his anger.Zhao Pingzhen knew that Qin Xiaolou had just recalled this incident, so he secretly observed his expression, unexpectedly, his expression was normal, as if he was just narrating something that had nothing to do with him.

Zhao Pingzhen put his hand on his chin and asked with great interest: "Mingdong, tell the truth, do you really want to avenge your father?"

Qin Xiaolou answered without hesitation: "I don't want to."

Zhao Pingzhen stared at him sharply with a noncommittal expression on his face.

Qin Xiaolou breathed out a long breath, looked back at Zhao Pingzhen generously, and said word by word: "There is no day, I don't want to."

That night when Qin Xiaolou returned to his residence, although the time and place had changed, what hadn't changed was that the person who liked to wait for him in the corridor was still standing there waiting for him to come back.

Qin Xiaolou took off his coat and put it on Qin Chengxue: "It's getting cold, add more clothes from tomorrow."

Qin Chengxue gently grabbed his hand, walked hand in hand with him to the back room, and said calmly: "If I am sick, will my brother stay and take care of me?"

Qin Xiaolou shook off his hand and stopped walking.

When Qin Chengxue turned to look at him, Qin Xiaolou looked annoyed, and said coldly, "When will you learn not to humiliate yourself?"

Qin Chengxue looked away, and said unwillingly, "What about brother?"

Qin Xiaolou gasped coldly, raised his hand to touch Qin Chengxue's cheek after a while, and sighed euphemistically: "Cheng Xue..."

Qin Chengxue covered his hand on her face, and said in a sad voice, "When will you let go of everything and follow me?"

Qin Xiaolou just shook his head: "I have just begun to get what I want, I can't. Cheng Xue, I don't want you to touch the things I carry. I hope you have your own life. You marry a wife and have children, and your children and grandchildren are full. Do you want this? When will you understand my thoughts? "

Qin Chengxue said indifferently: "I can't control what you want to do, and you can't control me either. You do what you want to do, and I'll wait for the person I want to wait for." After saying that, she turned around and no longer looked at Xiao Qin. Lou, after a while, said again in a shy voice: "My mother used to say that our tempers are as stubborn as our father's, so we competed to see who is more stubborn."

Looking at his younger brother's back, Qin Xiaolou felt extremely sad, and couldn't help but stepped forward to hug him: "Cheng Xue, why are you doing this..."

Qin Chengxue held back the tears in her eyes, and tried her best to say in a calm tone: "I just ask you to take pity on me after you fulfill your wish, and fulfill all my thoughts."

Qin Chengxue has always been Qin Xiaolou's lifeblood. He heard the great pain suppressed in his younger brother's words, and finally couldn't help but let go: "Wait until I beat the gold man and avenge my father, if you Still thinking like this, the rest of my years are all yours."

Qin Chengxue was shaken all over, and turned around with an expression of disbelief. She held Qin Xiaolou's shoulders weakly, as if she was afraid that the scenery in front of her would be crushed if she exerted herself too hard.He tentatively asked, "Brother?"

Qin Xiaolou hugged him tightly.

That night, Qin Xiaolou and Qin Chengxue slept on the same bed. Qin Xiaolou lay down for a long time without falling asleep. When he turned over, Qin Chengxue woke up and said, "Brother?"

Qin Xiaolou hugged him into his arms and patted his back to coax him to sleep.After a while, she asked thoughtfully: "Cheng Xue, what would you do if you met someone who looked a little like you and me?"

Qin Chengxue thought for a while, then replied, "I don't like him."

Qin Xiaolou asked, "Why?"

Qin Chengxue said: "Appearance is the connection between me and my brother. If someone else looks alike, I think he offended me. Besides, my brother is my brother. I only need you. Another person who looks like me is not enough. what is the benefit?"

Qin Xiaolou nodded, tucked the quilt up for him, and said, "Sleep."

After a few days, Yu Xiaogu and several of his childhood sweethearts and brothers left Prince Rui's Mansion.Zhao Pingzhen thought of some sinister ways to try to keep him, but Yu Xiaogu left resolutely, with an attitude that he would rather die than turn back.Zhao Pingzhen had no choice but to let him go.

Zhao Pingzhen's previous statement that "if he likes someone, he must be single-minded" is true, but it's a pity that Yu Xiaogu already has a sweetheart, and he is single-minded.

At this time, Zhao Pingzhen suddenly felt a little disappointed and jealous.He was jealous of the boy who was treated sincerely by Yu Xiaogu, because no one had ever treated him like that.The love between father and mother is not whole-hearted, which he already understood when he was born in the emperor's family; Zhao Nanke's love is not complete, he has many worries, and even guards against himself; Meng Jinling It seems that he is sincere to him, but he refuses to let him give up fighting, and he still refuses to let him abandon everything and go out of death row with him; Yang Yinghua's love seems to be wholehearted, but it is full of desire for control and exclusiveness, which he cannot tolerate Yes; Qin Xiaolou didn't even have love for him.

Zhao Pingzhen was suddenly a little confused.He knows he is a scumbag, and he is even happy to express himself like this, but he will feel lost because no one appreciates him, after all, everyone has a heart.He reflected on why he was willing to be a scumbag, but the reason was too complicated to explain clearly.He doesn't think it's the environment or someone who forced him to be like this. Although everything has a cause and effect, he is not a person who likes to blame others, so he easily accepts his faults and never repents.So he felt that a person like himself who still hopes to get someone's wholeheartedness is really a whore and wants to set up a memorial archway.

In the end, Zhao Pingzhen began to reflect on why he had started such unnecessary sentimentality. After much deliberation, the source turned out to be Qin Xiaolou.

But soon he gave up this extremely accidental feeling and put it behind him.He thought his heart was really made of ice.Qin Xiaolou might really be a surprise to him, but since he is willing to play with him, then everyone should keep doing the show well.Maybe if you are not careful, you can do it for more than ten or twenty years, or even a lifetime.
