After transmigrating into a mermaid, I will monopolize three thousand favors

On the seventh day of August, the day before Cong Lie ascended the throne, he did not know how many times he tried on the newly cut uniforms and crowns before he replaced them and stroked them cherishingly.

The Empress Dowager Zhou made a sudden visit, and when she came to Cong Ji, she said with a spring breeze on her face, "Tomorrow, my son will finally inherit the throne. Although my son was occupied by that hateful Cong Ji for nine years, fortunately, Cong Ji died not too badly." Night."

Cong Xun put down his clothes and crown, frowned and said: "The emperor always treats me kindly, the queen mother should not say that about the emperor."

"My son is too kind-hearted and soft-hearted, and he has to change his temper." The Queen Mother Zhou only had one son, and she couldn't bear to be harsh.

"Your servant has written it down." Cong Xun lowered his voice and asked the Queen Mother Zhou, "Mother, have you found the jade seal?"

Empress Dowager Zhou shook her head and said, "Perhaps that Cong Ji hid it or took it away."

Cong Xun felt deeply distressed: "Without the jade seal, it is really troublesome."

"Cong Ji has no heirs. Once he dies, he will lose his sons and grandchildren. My son's succession is justified. What if the jade seal is missing?" The Empress Dowager Zhou said nonchalantly, "Look for a rarer piece of jade and re-carve a jade seal. Yes, my son need not worry."

Cong Xun's eyebrows and eyes were worried: "Is the enthronement too hasty this time? Even if it is justified, it seems like stealing the country and stealing power."

The Empress Dowager Zhou comforted her and said: "It's just right and proper. How can you steal the country and steal the power? Even if there are some gossips, time will pass by after a long time. You will be the king of a country. If you are unhappy, you will kill those gossiping people Just kill it."

"But the bones of the emperor's brother are not cold..." Cong Xun hadn't finished speaking, but was interrupted by the Queen Mother Zhou: "Isn't your brother's body burned into a charred corpse? How come the bones are not cold?"

The Empress Dowager Zhou gloated and said: "It's interesting to say that the merman favored by your imperial brother is obviously a male merman, and somehow she became pregnant. Your imperial brother lost his head and wooed that merman in public. You also need to make that merman a queen. Fortunately, that merman died for your imperial brother. Otherwise, if the child in his womb is born, it will be a disaster. Approval from the courtiers."

Cong Xun sighed and said, "It's a pity that the twins have already formed."

The Empress Dowager Zhou said angrily: "What's the pity? Don't you want the baby boy to compete with you for the throne?"

"I know I'm wrong, and the queen mother is angry." Cong Xun just slipped his words, but fortunately, the Queen Mother Zhou didn't notice it.

"Forget it, the Empress Dowager knows your temperament well." The Empress Dowager Zhou changed the subject, "You are too soft-tempered. I am afraid that you will not be able to sit on the throne for a while. How about letting the Empress Dowager listen to the government behind the curtain?"

"I'm afraid..." Cong Xun wondered, "There has never been a precedent for a queen mother to listen to politics behind a curtain in this dynasty, and the courtiers would probably not agree."

The Empress Dowager Zhou said vaguely, "This is easy."

Cong Xun asked curiously, "What should the queen mother do?"

"You will know soon." The Empress Dowager Zhou smiled inscrutablely, and left.

Cong Xun stared at the clothes, suddenly felt that the gorgeous brocade had lost a little luster.

After a while, he went to Bailu Palace.

Cong Lu is the only princess in the current dynasty. She was born of the first emperor and the empress.

Cong Lu was embroidering, when she heard something, she raised her head and smiled at Cong Xun, "Ah Xun, you came to see me today, but do you have something good to tell me?"

Her appearance has probably recovered, and her smile is as beautiful as a peony, which is indescribable.

——Because Cong Xun was strictly forbidden in the Chongwen Museum, Cong Ji was mentioned in the palace, so Cong Lu didn't know that Cong Ji had passed away.

For himself, Cong Ji's death is a good thing, but for Cong Lu, it should be bad news?

Cong Xun was hesitating about how to speak, but Cong Lu smiled and said, "I have won a complete victory in the Southern Jin Dynasty and defeated Zhou Chu? Brother Huang has returned?"

Seeing that Cong Lu remained silent, Cong Lu withdrew her smile, "Could it be that I was defeated by Zhou Chu in the Southern Jin Dynasty?"

She said to herself again: "Brother Huang's personal conquest, how could he be defeated?"

Cong Xun closed his eyes, but remained silent.

Cong Lu panicked, and asked, "Ah, what happened?"

"Brother Huang..." Cong Xun's eyes were red, "Brother Huang died."

Cong Lu was puzzled and said: "Ah, what did you lie to me? Brother Huang has always been in good health, how could he die?"

"On June nineteenth, the emperor's brother had an arrow in his heart, and the high fever persisted; on June 23th, Zhou Chu made a surprise attack, and the emperor fought hard, and got a new injury; on July nineteenth, the emperor inspected the barracks, in front of soldiers On July [-], Wen Qi died in love and burned himself and the emperor's brother together. After the fire was extinguished, only two charred corpses remained." , I can't bear it.

Cong Lu, however, gave a full smile: "Ah, you can't take this joke. When the emperor comes back, I will definitely sue the emperor."

"Brother Huang has really passed away. The bodies of Brother Huang and Wen Qi have been escorted back to Beijing, and they will arrive in a few days." Cong Xun said sadly, "I learned from the back of my mother that Wen Qi was pregnant. It’s a pity that we would have an extra nephew or niece if we didn’t die in love.”

Cong Lu was stunned, and said in surprise and joy: "Sister-in-law Huang is pregnant, brother and sister-in-law both have broken sleeves, after the brother's triumphant return, it's time to marry sister-in-law?"

Cong Xun looked into Cong Lu's eyes, and said word by word: "Sister Huang, Brother Huang has passed away, Wen Qi has died in love, Brother Huang can't make a triumphant return, and it's impossible for him to marry his sister-in-law."

"The emperor's brother will return triumphantly, and he will also marry the emperor's wife and make her the queen." Cong Lu said expectantly, "When the emperor's wife gives birth, I will be an aunt."

Cong Xun sighed: "Sister Huang, you have been confused for many years, and it's rare to be sober. Don't be confused anymore."

There was water in Cong Lu's eyes, but he still insisted: "The emperor's brother and the emperor's wife must be safe and sound."

Cong Xun took Zhang Jinpa and handed it to Cong Lu. Seeing that Cong Lu refused to accept it, he gently wiped away the tears for Cong Lu, and said: "Sister Huang, the country cannot live without a king. I will ascend the throne tomorrow."

"Ascension to the throne?" Cong Lu asked in confusion, "The emperor is still alive, how do you ascend the throne?"

Cong Xun knew that Cong Lu and Cong Ji had been dependent on each other since they were young, and they had a deep relationship, so they didn't force Cong Lu: "I wanted to invite Sister Huang to watch the ceremony, but now it seems that Sister Huang should rest more."

Cong Lu pushed Cong Xun to the ground: "You have become a rebellious official who intends to usurp the throne, what face do you have to call me 'Emperor Sister'?"

Cong Xun was caught off guard, suddenly felt a pain, stood up, patted his clothes, and said helplessly: "Sister Huang, I am not a traitor who intends to usurp the throne. The emperor has gone and left no heirs, so I should succeed you." .”

"Don't call me 'Emperor Sister'!" Cong Lu sternly said, "You are indiscriminately fabricating stories about the death of the emperor's brother and the death of the emperor's wife. Go out, I don't want to see you again."

"Sister Huang, am I in a hurry to ascend the throne tomorrow? But I can't help it. The Queen Mother insists that I ascend the throne as soon as possible." Before Cong Lu finished speaking, he was invited out of Bailu Hall by Cong Lu's order.

On the eighth day of August, the day of enthronement.

Early in the morning, Cong Ji made a sacrifice to the ancestral temple, and dressed in filial piety, prayed in front of Cong Ji's tablet.

When the auspicious time came, the bells and drums rang together. He changed into a bright yellow uniform, put on a crown, returned to the palace, and accepted the five worships and three kowtows of the civil and military officials.

Due to hasty preparations, everything was not as grand and grand as he had imagined, but it didn't matter, the important thing was that everyone lowered their heads and surrendered to him.

He naturally knew that some of the courtiers were loyal to Cong Ji and had some complaints about him, but Cong Xun has already died, so what's the use of being loyal?

On August [-]th, Duan Ruizhi's lieutenants escorted the coffins of Cong Ji and Wen Qi to the capital.

Cong Xun bowed down, and went straight to look at the coffin, and what he saw were indeed two charred corpses, the shorter one hugged the taller one tightly, and the lower one The belly of the charred corpse was indeed swollen.

He wrote an autopsy on the charred corpse, but he couldn't find anything, so he could only report: "This charred corpse with a taller stature should be basically the same shape as your majesty."

He actually had doubts about Cong Ji's death, but it is true that Cong Ji had an arrow in his heart, his life was in danger, and then he was attacked again.

Hearing this, he ordered Wuzuo to retreat, then raised his hand to caress the charred corpse, and whispered: "Brother Emperor, I will definitely govern the Southern Jin Dynasty well, repel Zhou Chu, and fulfill Brother Emperor's wish; Wen Qi, I have proposed I wanted to send you out of the palace, but you didn't agree at that time, if you agreed, you wouldn't die."

When he was young, he caressed the brows and eyes of the scorched corpse, and said with compassion: "You guys rest in peace."

He withdrew his hand and ordered the Ministry of Rites to make preparations, and choose an auspicious day to bury Cong Ji and Wen Qi in a beautiful manner.

On August [-]th, in the early court, an old minister suggested that Cong Shi was only eighteen, too young, and that the Empress Dowager Zhou had to listen to the government behind the curtain, so that the world would be peaceful.

As soon as this remark came out, many courtiers echoed it.

Cong Xun was forced by the situation and had to agree.

On this day, it was only seven days before Cong Lie ascended the throne.

On August [-], the Empress Dowager Zhou listened to politics behind a curtain.

On August [-]th, at a quarter to three, Cong Ji was not surprised to learn that the Empress Dowager Zhou was listening to the government behind a curtain.

Wen Qi was just sleeping, but because he was pregnant with twins, he became afraid of the heat, and even in a thin shirt, he sweated a fine layer.

Cong Ji went into the room, saw it, and ordered someone to fetch a basin of well water to wipe Wen Qi's body.

Wen Qi is a mermaid. Although he is an adult, he can stay out of water for half a month at most, but the water will make Wen Qi feel comfortable.

It's a pity that this place is far away from the sea, otherwise, he would be able to wipe Wen Qi's body with sea water.

Mermaids are born and raised in the sea, and of course they prefer sea water.

Before he finished wiping Wen Qi's body, his wrist was suddenly grabbed by Wen Qi. Wen Qi kissed his hand before he opened his eyes.

Beads of sweat adorn Wen Qi's eyelashes, and as soon as Wen Qi opened his eyes, the beads of sweat fell down like broken jade.

"Your Majesty..." Wen Qi called out, and after Cong Ji wiped his body and changed his clothes, he got into Cong Ji's arms and yawned lazily.

While stroking Wen Qi's stomach, Cong Ji said, "The Empress Dowager Zhou is listening to the government behind the curtain."

Wen Qi said uncertainly: "Does this mean that His Royal Highness may have been coerced by the Queen Mother Zhou to ascend the throne in a hurry?"

"It's not known yet." Cong Ji couldn't help feeling jealous, "Do you hope that Ah Fei is not rebellious?"

Wen Qi didn't smell jealous, nodded and said: "Your Majesty only has one younger brother, His Highness the Sixth Highness, so I naturally hope that His Highness the Sixth Highness has no resentment."

Cong Ji was a little more cheerful: "It's because of me that you hope that Ah Xun has no rebellion?"

Wen Qi didn't understand, so he said authentically: "Your Majesty thinks I have other reasons?"

Cong Ji didn't answer.

Seeing Cong Ji's awkward expression, Wen Qi had a flash of light in his mind, and said with a narrow smile, "Could it be that your majesty is jealous?"

Cong Ji didn't hide it: "Yes, I'm jealous."

"Why does Your Majesty want to be jealous? The Sixth Highness and I are just classmates. I have never even touched the Sixth Highness's hand, and I have never been tempted by the Sixth Highness." Wen Qi looked at Cong Ji with burning eyes, Confessed, "I am delighted with Your Majesty. As far as I am concerned, no one can match a strand of Your Majesty's hair, including His Highness Six."

Cong Ji was overjoyed, lowered his head, and covered Wen Qi's lips.

After the kiss, he also confessed: "My heart is pleasing to you, and as far as I am concerned, no one can match a strand of your hair."

Wen Qi laughed and said, "Your Majesty looks like a very eloquent parrot."

Cong Ji racked his brains, and said again: "My heart is happy with you, and I wish to share the same quilt with you in life, the same acupuncture point in death, and never leave you in life or death."

Wen Qi's face was immediately stained with peach blossoms: "Your Majesty's sweet words are really touching."

Cong Ji seriously denied it and said, "It's not sweet talk, but to express my heart to Zitong."

Wen Qi pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Yes, Your Majesty never speaks sweetly, every word comes from the heart."

Cong Ji asked: "Could Zitong be joking with me?"

"How dare I make fun of Your Majesty?" Wen Qi raised his head and kissed Cong Ji's earhole, "Your Majesty, tell me more about your heart."

The author has something to say: Cong Shui should not have known that the little drunken fish was pregnant with two small fish, and the month was old, and it had already taken shape
