After wearing a sick and weak cannon fodder as a prince

After Qin Xuechuan came to the throne, he cleaned up the court thoroughly, and those corrupt officials, as well as those who formed cliques for personal gain, had nowhere to hide.Even those who supported Qin Luochuan in the past turned their backs one after another.

Although Qin Xuechuan had ascended the throne, he was still afraid that Qin Luochuan would take away everything that belonged to him again.Since ancient times, it has been said that the emperor is the most suspicious, and Qin Xuechuan also feels that his suspicion is getting worse.

He even sent someone to investigate whether Qin Luochuan had colluded with foreign ministers.He saved Qin Yuan, so Qin Luochuan was also grateful to him and dared not show any disrespect.Above and above etiquette, he is the emperor, and in terms of family affection, he is Qin Luochuan's elder brother.

Qin Luochuan naturally has no reason to disrespect him, but it's not a thing for Qin Luochuan to be in Fengdu City often.Moreover, Qin Xuechuan gave the position of commander of the forbidden army to Xiao Yu who was considered useless by outsiders.

This aroused the dissatisfaction of many courtiers. In order to stabilize people's hearts, Qin Xuechuan appointed Qin Luochuan, who had been in charge of affairs in the barracks, as the deputy commander of the forbidden army and also took charge of the military affairs in the imperial city.

Although Qin Luochuan was only a deputy commander, all the soldiers in the imperial city were firmly in his hands.

Qin Xuechuan thought, this military power cannot be held by the Xiao family all the time, rather than being held by the Xiao family, he would rather hand it over to Qin Luochuan.After all, Qin Luochuan is still a member of the Qin royal family, so he will be loyal to the imperial power no matter what.

As for when he was seriously ill, it was many years ago that Qin Luochuan showed disrespect to him.In these years, apart from having contacts with Qin Yuan, he never met Qin Luochuan alone again.

Unless the two of them are discussing important military affairs, they are like strangers on weekdays.But now that Qin Xuechuan has become the emperor, the number of times he saw Qin Luochuan became less and less.

On the contrary, now that he lives in the palace, it is much more convenient for Qin Yuan to see him.Qin Yuan has been close to Qin Xuechuan since she was a child, and this time she didn't come back in time to see Qin Yuan for the last time, which is the biggest regret in her life.

She was depressed for a month before she gradually came out of the sadness, but when Qin Xuechuan saw her again, she still felt that her eyelids were slightly swollen, presumably she had cried in the middle of the night.

Everything that needs to be rectified has been rectified, and the next step is to deal with the Xiao family, which has military power, and Xianglu, who is quite prestigious in the family.

In fact, Qin Xuechuan had long thought about the day when he would deal with his uncle, but what he didn't expect was...that day came so quickly.

In the afternoon, when Qin Xuechuan was taking a nap, the palace servants from outside quietly came in and stood behind the screen and said, "Your Majesty, King Nanling asks to see you."

After Qin Xuechuan heard this, he opened his eyes and waved his hand: "Please come in."

"Yes, the slaves obey the order."

Not long after the servant who sent the message left, Xianglu walked into the inner palace.At this moment, he was puzzled when he didn't see Qin Xuechuan, but at this moment Qin Xuechuan suddenly walked over without a sound: "What is the purpose of uncle coming to see me now?"

Xiang Lu suddenly turned his head, he concealed the panic on his face, and smiled quickly: "It's nothing, I just heard that His Majesty is unwell recently, so I came to visit His Majesty."

Seeing him laughing like this, Qin Xuechuan said, "What is this uncle talking about? You and I are monarchs and ministers outside, and close relatives inside. Uncle doesn't have to be so polite, just change my name as before."

After hearing this, Xiang Lu raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, this is unreasonable."

Qin Xuechuan shook his head when he heard his words: "Why is it unreasonable? Anyway, there are no outsiders now, and if my uncle calls me like this, I won't be read by the courtiers. Uncle..."

After finishing speaking, Qin Xuechuan called him coquettishly.Xianglu was stunned when he heard it, and then he smiled slightly: "Axue is still the same as before, it hasn't changed."

Qin Xuechuan suddenly laughed when he heard him say this: "Oh? Uncle thinks that I haven't changed?"

Xianglu replied at this moment: "At least Axue has not changed towards Uncle, and so has Uncle. It is not easy for you to be in this position. Uncle will protect you, and anyone who wants to harm you, Uncle will help you deal with it. "

After hearing his words, Qin Xuechuan was taken aback for a moment: "Uncle, what's wrong? I haven't said anything yet, did uncle find out who wanted to murder me?"

Xianglu said: "No, not yet, but maybe in the future."

Qin Xuechuan nodded at this moment: "It turns out that this is what uncle is worried about, but the Imperial City is heavily guarded, and no assassins should easily break in. Even if there are assassins, there are so many people guarding me, the assassins must be It won’t come easily either.”

After hearing what he said, Xiang Lu said again: "It's easy to hide a spear in the open, but it's hard to defend against an arrow in the dark! Your Majesty can be very careful."

Qin Xuechuan smiled and looked back at him: "Thank you uncle for your concern, I will pay attention to it. By the way, do you want to stay for dinner?"

Hearing this, Xianglu bowed and bowed again: "I'm your majesty's uncle. If I stay here for a long time, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of discussion among the courtiers outside. I won't stay here for a long time, by the way... I'm going to your majesty. I offered some tonics, and I got a few high-quality animal skins from hunting, so His Majesty Wanwang can take care of his health."

Qin Xuechuan smiled at him: "Thank you uncle for your concern, I will pay more attention to my body."

"Then don't worry, the minister will leave first!"

After speaking, Xianglu turned around and left.Seeing this, Qin Xuechuan hurriedly ordered: "Come here, so I can send King Nanling out."

"According to the order!"

***

Qin Xuechuan looked at the back of Xianglu going away and suddenly fell into deep thought: Xiang Muling and Xianglu are not siblings, so Xianglu must know.Since Qingque said that Xiang Muling and Xiang Lu were once in love, it is impossible for them to have nothing to do with each other.

Qin Xuechuan suddenly became suspicious of Xianglu's intentions. Xianglu treated him so well not only because he was his nephew, right?There may be another meaning to this...

It was almost a few months after he ascended the throne that Qin Xuechuan remembered that he still had a key in his hand.This key is very similar to the lock on a box in the East Palace, and the keyhole roughly matches this key.

Because Qin Xuechuan first came to the throne, and there is no crown princess or concubine, so his current harem is empty.There were many "treasures" in the East Palace where he lived before, so he never ordered people not to touch the things in the East Palace.

Now it seems that he is going back to the East Palace.

***

Ever since Qin Xuechuan arranged Xiao Yu's errand as the commander of the imperial army, Xiao Yu has been busy all day long and dizzy.In fact, in terms of military and training talents, Xiao Yu's abilities are far superior to Qin Luochuan's, but this Xiao Yu has to pretend to be a playboy.

In order not to show my abilities, I have to work hard to act, which is of course tiring.Qin Xuechuan also deliberately wanted to test the Xiao family, he wanted to see if the Xiao family had any intention of rebelling.

Unexpectedly, not long after the first emperor was buried, Xiao Rong asked for orders to go back and continue guarding the border.It's just that when he left, he left his grandson to Xiao Yu and asked Xiao Yu to help take care of him.

Qin Xuechuan also met that child a few times, his name seems to be Xiao Xun...

Qin Xuechuan didn't know what his father looked like, but in the eyes of this young man named Xiao Xun, Qin Xuechuan saw a bit of Xiao Yu's appearance back then.

***

Qin Xuechuan counted the past in detail, and not long after, the palace man driving the carriage for him said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the East Palace has arrived."

Qin Xuechuan lifted the curtain on the carriage after hearing this, and then got out of the carriage.When Qin Xuechuan walked to the entrance of the East Palace, he turned around and asked the palace servants beside him: "Since I left here, have no one touched anything here?"

At this moment, the palace resident quickly replied: "Your Majesty once said that no one will let anyone touch the things here, so the East Palace has always maintained the original residence of His Majesty."

Qin Xuechuan nodded in satisfaction after hearing this, and then waved at the people behind: "You all step back first, I want to walk here by myself."

"But, Your Majesty..." When those servants were talking too much, Qin Xuechuan suddenly turned around and gave them a look, "Why, what else do you want to say?"

After seeing Qin Xuechuan's eyes of wanting to kill someone, the palace man said with trepidation: "No, the slave is afraid that the night will be dark and windy, and His Majesty will encounter some danger."

Qin Xuechuan laughed suddenly after hearing what he said: "This is my place, what danger can I encounter? I just want to walk alone. If I find someone following behind, then you Don't even want your head."

The palace servants holding the palace lanterns and standing in two rows behind Qin Xuechuan suddenly said in trembling voices: "Yes, servants obey!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Xuechuan walked into the palace.

When Qin Xuechuan entered the palace, he went directly to the place where various musical instruments were once piled up in the East Palace.He remembered that all the valuable and strange things were kept here.

Sure enough, he found a very delicately carved box shortly after entering.This box is not like an ordinary box, it looks like a dowry for my daughter's house.

Soon, Qin Xuechuan found the keyhole on the box. Seeing this, Qin Xuechuan inserted the key into the keyhole. To his surprise... the key was just the right size, but no matter how he twisted it, he couldn't open it. Do not open this box.

At this moment, Qin Xuechuan frowned and lifted the box high. He shook the contents of the box, but it was very light inside, as if there was nothing there, and there seemed to be no precious things such as gold and jade.

And just when he sighed and was about to give up, he suddenly found that behind the box was a mechanism that was exactly the same as that in Xiangmuling's tomb.He twisted it a few times as he remembered, and then he turned the key in the lock.

The difference this time was that the box opened with a "click".

Seeing this, Qin Xuechuan quickly opened the box, but what puzzled him was... there was another layer of boxes inside the box, but it was just smaller than this box.

How is this going?Have people in this era learned how to dolls?

With such doubts, Qin Xuechuan continued to open the box.But that box has the same mechanism as the one outside, and what makes Qin Xuechuan even more puzzled is that the inside of the box is still a box.

Now he can't help thinking: This is not a prank by Xiang Muling, is it?

But if you think about it this way, it's impossible... If it was really a prank, how could Xiang Muling put such an insignificant key in his coffin?

Qin Xuechuan endured patience and continued to open the box, and finally reached the last one... This box is only the size of a human palm, and I don't know what kind of things are contained in such a box?

Qin Xuechuan opened the box with one last expectation.When he opened the box, what appeared in front of him was a map filled with red, red, black and black marks.

Seeing this, Qin Xuechuan quickly picked up the map and spread it out on the ground, and the moment he saw the map, his eyes widened in disbelief.

This... This is the map of the world.

This world does not refer to the world of Great Chu, but the surrounding countries plus some small countries.Every mountain range and every lake is marked and recorded in detail, and there are map legends below, and some legends should not be made by people of this era, and they still don't understand some things.

Qin Xuechuan pointed to the place marked on the map: "This is the country of Yan, the country of Jiang... people outside the Great Wall who are not from the Central Plains, and there are various places suitable for ambush."

Qin Xuechuan is well aware that in this era, there is no detailed map of the whole world, so if this map is real... then it is really a priceless treasure.

The State of Chu attaches great importance to military affairs. Even if the people suffer from disasters and cannot eat enough or wear warm clothes, the State of Chu still needs to train soldiers, and the number of soldiers guarding the border is increasing every year.The military strength of the Chu State gradually grew, but the interior of the Great Chu was very chaotic. Not only did the aristocratic family monopolize power, but also foreign relatives led the troops.

As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles.With this map, Qin Xuechuan can understand the topography of the surrounding countries, and if a war breaks out, he can quickly figure out how to deal with it.

And at this moment, he found a piece of yellowed paper in that box.After seeing it, he quickly picked up the piece of paper, but when he picked it up, he found that there were several more behind it.

There seems to be mothproofing agent in it, and there is an inexplicable camphor smell.

And this paper looks like it's old, Qin Xuechuan looked at the words on the paper.But something that surprised him even more happened - because all the words on the paper were written in simplified characters.

This... how is this possible?

Qin Xuechuan continued to look at the content written on the paper: "Dear son, no, mother is so big, when you read this letter, it may be a long time later. However, I think you must be able to see this letter. A letter, after all, I have already arranged everything for you."

When Qin Xuechuan saw the avant-garde greeting, he suddenly realized that things were not that simple, and he continued to read: "By the way, do you know that there is such a thing as time travel in this world? It is when one person's soul travels to another. Time and space, I don’t know how I wear it, but my mother is a bit unlucky, she wore it since she was a child. I have worked hard to write these words, and I still can’t practice traditional Chinese well. I hope you can guess The meaning of these words."

When Qin Xuechuan saw this place, he didn't know why, but he always had some inexplicable excitement in his heart... It turns out that the original owner's mother was also a time traveler?

"Mom thought she would give birth to a beautiful daughter. After all, I like spicy food the most when I was in my arms, so my mother prepared the most precious things in the world for you as a dowry. You see the red ones marked on the maps of various countries. Are you here? That’s where all kinds of iron ore and gold mines in various countries are located, in addition to some other rare minerals, with these, mother believes that with your intelligence, you will definitely dominate the world.”

"I believe you also know by now that I had an affair with the emperor and Xianglu. Mom did have youthful impulsiveness, but it was all a sad thing. Actually... Let me tell you, Xue Chuan, mom doesn't know who you are either. After all, when I was pregnant with you, I had relationships with both Qin Yuan and Xiang Lu, and the reason why I mediate by their side is very simple - that is to make these two scumbags fall in love with me, In the end, I gave up the country for me. I knew that both of them liked power more than me, so I was a little unhappy and wanted to play with them. I wanted to see that the country they both wanted fell into the hands of my son How do they feel in their hearts?"

"Xiang Lu thought you were his son, and I set up this game, and Qin Yuan also thought you were his son, and I did the same thing. I hope the two of them will turn against each other like this. And in the palace and It was also I who spread the rumors in the imperial city that I had an affair with other people."

When Qin Xuechuan saw this, he suddenly felt a chill behind him... He never thought that a woman's revenge would be so terrifying.

"The purpose of my doing this is that Qin Yuan can feel a little guilty towards you after I die. For my sake, he will definitely make you the crown prince, and finally help you ascend to the throne of God. After I am determined to let you be the crown prince At the moment when I was fighting for world hegemony, I had already thought about today, so you don’t have to blame yourself. I didn’t die of illness. I guess I wanted to live enough and find a suitable time to leave. Maybe this way, I will leave again. I can go back to my own era, but I can't take you away. You are my mother's favorite darling in this life, so I will try my best to plan everything for you before I leave. Xianglu is a family, so he must I will help you become the emperor steadily, and Qin Yuan will also make you the crown prince with guilt for me."

"You were very smart when you were very young. When you knew that Qin Yuan doubted your blood, you felt a sense of abandonment. It was the twelfth lunar month. They all said that you didn't play when you were playing by yourself." Be careful of falling into the frozen lake. But only I know, you did it on purpose. Xue Chuan forgive me, in order to save your life, I had to let you endure the unbearable pain of ordinary people, but I believe you will survive, Xue Chuan The name Chuan was given to you by your mother when you were not born, and the only thing I miss in this world is you, and I am willing to give you the whole world."

"So far, my favorite Xue Chuan."

Qin Xuechuan was silent for a long time after reading the letter...

It turned out that his initial efforts were in vain, it turned out that his life had already been planned by Xiang Muling.Even in the ten years after Xiang Muling's death, her plan should still develop on the track she wanted.

Qin Xuechuan stayed in place and thought for a long time, but Xiang Muling probably didn't realize that her real son was actually dead, and what was here was just another soul from the same era as her.

After reading these letters, Qin Xuechuan suddenly collected the yellowed papers in order.At the moment when he packed the letter, he suddenly felt a little guilty... In this way, wouldn't he just occupy the life that belonged to the original person?

So in this world, there is no such novel at all, and that novel is just a solidified image of this world in his mind.

But at this moment, he suddenly saw his figure reflected in the mirror next to him.His face, every part of him belonged to Qin Xuechuan, he was Qin Xuechuan, he had already become Qin Xuechuan.

On the day he died, he was Qin Xuechuan.

***

Qin Xuechuan put away the map carefully, he put away the letters and then packed those boxes one by one like drawing a gourd, and then he always locked the box.

It probably contains all the love a mother has for her child. If this is the case, Qin Xuechuan will complete the ultimate goal - according to what Xiang Muling said, to dominate the world.

He will keep that box safe and carry it to his casket.

Just when he was about to leave the East Palace, he suddenly remembered that he had put Xiao Yu's black jade finger under the pillow in his former bedroom.

Because Xiao Yu once said that this finger ring is his family heirloom, and a few days ago Xiao Rong came back from outside the pass to attend the funeral.He was afraid that Xiao Rong would suspect his relationship with Xiao Yu, so he put the ring under the pillow in his original bedroom.

Now Xiao Rong has left, and the last time he saw Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu took a special look at his hand, but when he saw Qin Xuechuan's hand was not wearing the ring he gave him. Suddenly, a look of displeasure appeared on his face.

Qin Xuechuan didn't know why, he didn't seem to want to see Xiao Yu face himself with a bitter face all day long, when he thought of this, he hurried to the door of the bedroom.

He opened the door and went in, everything remained the same here, as if there was still the smell of the medicine he had drunk before.Qin Xuechuan's illness was given by Xiang Muling, but if Xiang Muling hadn't done this at that time, he would have died. If that was the case, there would be no Qin Xuechuan now.

When Qin Xuechuan left the East Palace, he ordered people not to change anything here, and there were always people in the office taking care of it.Even at night, the bedroom is still lit with lights, because everyone in the palace here knows that Qin Xuechuan is most afraid of the dark.

Qin Xuechuan walked to the bed at this moment, and he picked up the pillow, but something unexpected happened to him... because there was no Moyu ring under the pillow that he wanted to find.

And at this moment, Qin Xuechuan suddenly threw the pillow on the ground as if in a panic, he also lifted the quilt to search for it, but he almost searched the entire bed, still did not see the Moyu ring.

Where's the ring?Where the hell did the ring go?

Just when he was anxious, he suddenly heard a sound.
