Reincarnation of the powerful minister

Shen Qi stayed up all night, sitting by the table in the bedroom, wiping the shiny blade of the Xiuchun knife back and forth.

The secret Feng Que'e revealed was too huge and heavy, like a mountain weighing heavily down on his head, trying to crush his mortal muscles and bones into powder.

It made him even more regretful—why did he listen to it, cut off Feng Qu'e's tongue directly, let this secret rot together with the other party into mud, and be buried in the underworld, it would be great.

Regret, however, was only fleeting.Shen Qi always throws away useless and meaningless emotions very quickly, because not only are they useless, but they only increase troubles.He has come to this day step by step with bloody footprints, and he will continue to go on with perseverance, clear goals, and unscrupulous means.

He wiped the knife expressionlessly, and Feng Qu'e's hoarse and difficult voice still seemed to echo in his ears:

"The secret is... the current Son of Heaven... is not the real Son of Heaven! He, and his younger brother, King Yu, are not of the late Emperor's blood at all!"

"Oh, you're shocked, don't you believe it... I just heard this secret, and I also have your expression. However, the fact is that before Emperor Chengzu ascended the throne, he was the king of Qin guarding the border. The area of ​​Shanxi, which is adjacent to the vast sea, was once It was his feudal land. And the present Empress Dowager, who was the Princess Qin back then, conceived during his years of fighting and occasionally returned to the mansion, and gave birth to two sons successively.

"In the early years, there were rumors in the palace that Princess Qin was having selfish interests with others, and that the two sons were not of royal blood. Later, the rumorer was executed by the king of Qin. Not only the whole palace was bloodied, but also a large number of people were killed in the market. Forbidden.

"Concubine Qin not only convinced King Qin of her innocence, but also strengthened his determination to establish a heir but not a son. After ascending the throne, he appointed a second son—that is, the crown prince.

"19 years ago, I succeeded to the throne, and in the first few years, I was able to live in harmony with my brothers. But just 13 years ago, the letter of the king's treason case happened, and I made a decisive decision to eradicate him, and then sacrificed the 'Xiandi The imperial edict cut off the military power of the princes of the town one by one, and imprisoned them in the vassal land. Liao Wang, Wei Wang, Gu Wang, Ning Wang... and finally his younger brother Yu Wang, who was the acting king back then.

"At that time, I was the one who believed in the king."

Shen Qi knew that the king had conspired against him.Although he was a 12-year-old boy at that time, he had already been ripened by the ups and downs of life. Together with his mother who was a concubine, he suffered from the harsh and bullying of the main house. Livelihood, early separation.

He heard that Jin Yiwei was recruiting brave and alert sons of officials and folks, so he went to ask his father's old friend, a deputy of Jin Yiwei who was about to retire, and wanted to apply, but because he was too young, it took three years before he got his wish.During this period, he paid special attention to the political affairs of the court. He heard that the king of Xin raised his troops to rebel and was ordered to die by the emperor to search his home.

But he didn't want to, Feng Qu'e had already hooked up with King Xin more than ten years ago when he was only a guard in Jinyi.

"After the death of King Xin, I was afraid of being implicated. I lay dormant for several years before I tried my best to climb up. It was not until last year that someone sent by King Ning found me and told me the truth about King Xin's case - in the hands of King Xin. There was evidence of the princess's affair provided by the old man of the Qin Palace, so he was rebellious and joined forces to seek rebellion. After failing to be captured, he exposed the scandal in front of Jinshang. Jinshang was furious and withdrew the assignment to the high wall The former decree directly ordered him to die. He was also worried that the vassal kings would support themselves and threaten the throne, so they were moved inward, their titles were reduced, and their military power was removed.

"King Ning and King Xin are siblings of the same mother. His purpose of looking for me is to hope that I will remember the grace of the old master and become his eyes and ears in the court. At the same time, he is threatening me with this old incident. If I don't obey, he will kill me." The identity of my remnants is made public, and the emperor will not spare me at that time. On the contrary, if I serve him, when he achieves a great cause in the future, he will be able to gain power and glory easily from the merits of the dragon.

"So I took refuge in King Ning. While dealing with the stupid and short-sighted Wei family, I formed a temporary alliance with my relatives and used each other to frame the East Palace and shake the foundation of the country; at the same time, I provoke the relationship between King Yu and the emperor, using the Yunxi and Ye Donglou cases. Frame him so that the emperor can punish him, so that the repeated persecution will gradually drive King Yu to a desperate situation, and finally he has to rebel. King Yu handed over military power for many years, but the prestige in the army is still there. When the world is in chaos, King Ning will There is an opportunity to take advantage of."

King Ning also wants to rebel!Shen Qi's heart trembled, and she asked: "Why did you tell me these secrets?" Feng Qu hated him to the bone, so how could he let him use these information to report to the emperor and help his enemy to do meritorious service?

Feng Qu'e was tortured to the brink of death by the severe pain, but at this moment, after hearing this question, it seemed as if he had returned to the light, with an extreme and wild look in his eyes.Like a ghost who has turned his obsession into a curse, he sneered sadly: "Because you are the most suitable candidate... As my enemy, you must not only send me to the underworld, but also inherit my will , sounds, isn't it as wonderful as fate?"

Shen Qi mocked: "I'm out of prison, so I'll sell you and your daydreaming master together for a good price."

"You don't dare. Because you know that no emperor can tolerate someone who knows his secret." Feng Qu'e said firmly, "And the moment you heard the secret, you were already dragged into the water by me. "

"You can go and report to the emperor, and then wait for him to kill you one day. You can also continue to contact King Ning and work for him. If he really has a day to take off in the future, you will be rewarded for his merits. A minister, it is rare to be a duke and a marquis.

"Look, I'm not mistaken, this is a huge disaster, but also a great opportunity.

"Of course, you can also pretend that you don't know anything, and be tortured by this secret all your life, and be in constant fear."

"——Isn't this the best, longest, and greatest revenge? To you, to the emperor, to Su Xiaozi, who has no eggs left under the nest, to this family, country, and world that drove me to a dead end." Feng Qu'e coughed violently, and the blood gushing from his back almost covered the execution bed, "I have used you for ten years, and I have also taught you for ten years, and the last thing I want to teach you now is——

"Secrets can't be listened to casually."

With a "clang", Shen Qi put the knife back into its sheath, and threw the knife cleaning cloth on the table.

He sneered at his former boss who had long been a ghost by the bridge of Naihe: What does your revenge have to do with me?Who is the emperor in this world, is it right or not, and what does it have to do with me?Do you really think I'm going to be tormented by an unfounded secret?joke!

Ability not worthy of ambition, and choosing the wrong object of allegiance is the way to die, such as you, Feng Que.

As for me, Shen Qi, there is only one person who serves me faithfully, and that is myself.As for what I want - monstrous power?Duke and prince?Overwhelmingly rich?Hey, maybe, but that's too far away, out of reach.What I want most now is only one person——

Shen Qi put the Xiuchun knife back on her waist, got up and pushed open the door, walked out of the room, letting the gradually scorching morning sun shine on her whole body.

He squinted at the sun and asked suddenly, "What time is it?"

The servant girl waiting in the corridor replied: "My lord, it's almost time."

Shen Qi slapped the railing suddenly, and said angrily: "Today is the seventh day of June! I wasted the whole night and missed the hour."

"It's the seventh day of June. What's the matter, my lord?" The maid was puzzled, "What is today an important day?"

Shen Qi ordered: "Bring a set of casual clothes over here and change for me."

Only half of the flying fish suit on his body was taken off, Gao Shuo who was ordered to watch Su's mansion rushed to report: "The Eastern Palace sent Fu Baolai, the servant, to pick up Master Su."

Shen Qi was slightly startled and then gritted her teeth: Although the prince is young, he has other plans, so he has to guard against it.That night in the Xiaonan courtyard, I saw that he had bad intentions for Qinghe, what bell Kodan was full of lewd thoughts, and he openly came to my house to rob someone last month.Qinghe has a pure temperament, thinking that the prince only regards him as a playmate and has no suspicions.If I don't make a move again, I'm afraid that one day the prince will take the lead and cut off my heart!

Thinking of this, he put the flying fish suit back on again, and said to Gao Shuo: "Prepare the horse, I want to enter the palace to face the saint."

In Duanben Palace, the prince went from being impatient to waiting until he was bored.He lost his temper and drove all the palace people out of the back palace. He put his legs on the desk, holding the spring painting left by the teacher, and scribbled it with the ink-soaked lake brush.

Facing the scene of men and women having sex in the spring painting, he couldn't hold back his enthusiasm at all, and said: "What kind of makeup, the eyebrows are painted like hanging tips, and the cheeks are like a monkey's butt." He directly painted the woman's head and face black.

Looking at the bare chest, he said, "It's such a big lump, it's cumbersome." He also blacked it out.

Looking at the three inches below the navel again, I always felt that there was something missing, so I poked out two round ink dots, and the tip of the pen drew a line in the middle——

"Master! Master Su has arrived at the gate of the palace!" The servant guarding the palace gate ran in panting and shouted loudly through the palace gate.

With a flick of the Prince's pen tip, a long ink mark was drawn between two dots of ink, reaching the edge of the page.

How can there be such a long...that talk?He became angry from embarrassment, turned his head and cursed at the palace door: "What are you talking about?"

The little servant lay down on the ground, and said aggrievedly: "Didn't you say that as soon as you see someone, the servant has to report it immediately?"

"Hey, Qinghe is here!" The prince just turned the corner, hurriedly dropped his pen, crumpled up the shapeless spring painting, jumped up and looked around, there was no place to hide everywhere.Finally, it was stuffed into a large enamel vase with peacock feathers inserted.

He lowered his head and straightened his clothes, and rushed out happily. Suddenly he felt that his behavior was not stable enough, and he was afraid that Su Yan would underestimate him again. He pretended to cough, and immediately slowed down and walked out with a dignified posture.

Su Yan saluted and said, "Young master is a thousand years old."

Zhu Helin saw that he was wearing a scarlet auspicious suit woven with the pattern of golden cranes, which was bright and lovely, making the exposed skin more and more white and jade-like, and couldn't help but turn his eyes around his face, neck and wrists, and said in his mouth: "Mr. It's not Chitose, it's you who are 17 today."

The prince beckoned, and some palace servants came forward with a tray.

Zhu Helin picked up the gold cup, handed it to Su Yan, and said very seriously: "I wish you good health and a long life."

"Thank you, young master." Su Yan took it with a smile. She wanted to take a sip, but unexpectedly, the bottom of the cup was quite deep, and it could hold more than it looked. Lie, it’s easy to drink, but the cup is too big.”

"This is imperial wine, called Hantanxiang. It is brewed from the cold lake water in the mountains, so it tastes cooler than ordinary wine, but it has a strong aftertaste, so it is not suitable to drink too much."

"It's not appropriate to drink too much. You still poured me such a big glass? You want to get me drunk?" Su Yan squinted at him, her fair cheeks turned a thin blush from the smell of alcohol, like peach blossoms in snow.

Zhu Helin's little thought of wanting to stay overnight with him was punctured, and he said with a sneer, "I don't know how much you can drink, except for the time of motion sickness during the Dragon Boat Festival, drinking half a catty a meal is not a problem."

That's because the wines of this era are generally under-distilled, and the alcohol content is lower than that of later generations, but such a large glass cannot be resisted, and different wines are mixed, which is particularly easy to get drunk.Su Yan thought to himself, if anyone proposes birthday wine to me later, I will take a couple of sips to make it meaningful, so as not to get really drunk.

"Young master hastily called me into the palace, saying that there is something serious, just to congratulate me and give me a cup of birthday wine?"

Zhu Helin said: "Besides birthday celebrations, there is one more thing. You are seventeen years old, have you had the crowning ceremony yet?"

Su Yan recalled it, and replied, "I haven't done it yet."

"A man can only be considered an adult if he has undergone the crown ceremony. According to the weekly system, he crowns at [-] years old, but nowadays most of them are crowned at the age of sixteen or seventeen. I think you are just right today."

"But, shouldn't the elders of the family hold the ceremony and crown me? I am alone in Beijing, and the elders are all thousands of miles away..."

Zhu Helin put his mouth next to his ear, and said mysteriously: "My elders borrowed it from you!"

"what?"

"I mentioned this matter to my father yesterday, hoping that he can crown you, and my father agreed. If you need anything, everything is ready, and you are the only one left."

Su Yan was surprised: "The emperor crowned me? How can this be done!"

"Look, I scared you!" Zhu Helin laughed.

"Why can't it be done? Don't treat him as the emperor today, just treat him as the father... er, the elders of the general family." He swallowed back the word "father" that had almost slipped out of his mouth, and thought awkwardly, maybe it wasn't because he had read too much from the script. Hey, he was talking nonsense and messing around with names, but fortunately he didn't say it out, otherwise Qinghe wouldn't be stunned.He couldn't help but think of the scene of husband and wife bowing in the storybook, and his tender face instantly turned red.

Who dares to treat the royal family as a general family, thinking that the head on the neck is too firm?Su Yan was slandering the prince's whimsy, and seeing his face flushed, he asked, "Are you drunk?"

"I didn't drink!"

"Then why is your face redder than mine?"

"I, I... I'm hot! It's too hot today." Zhu Helin felt the heat rushing to his cheeks, pulled off his collar to let the air out, sent the palace servants to get the ice basin, and told Su Yan Said: "I sent the Qin Tianjian to calculate that today is an auspicious time, so you can have lunch here first, and then I will take you to the Hall of Mental Cultivation - you should go to the Zhai Palace, but the emperor said, Depending on your temperament, you won't like red tape and fuss, or you'll be simple and friendly."

Su Yan was arranged one by one by him, so he had no choice but to accept, and asked: "When will the emperor arrive at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, I have to go there earlier."

"Father came to court in the morning, and there was nothing left and right, so he was dragged by Concubine Wei to see the little prince."

Zhu Helin curled his lips, and muttered: "It's wrinkled like a red-skinned monkey cub, I don't know what's so good about it." Seeing that Su Yan's eyes were wrong, he quickly smiled and said, "I know, I know, you persuaded , Treat your new brother with a 'spring breeze'. Don't worry, I only speak my heart in front of you, and I am very hypocritical outside."

Su Yan laughed: "Who would say that he is hypocritical?"

Zhu Helin sighed: "In the first place. Especially in the face of annoying people, you can't be hypocritical. Look at Feng Anhou, who wanted to search my car that night. I wished I could just draw my sword and cut him down. In the end, I still suppressed my temper and fought with him. say."

"Young master handled it very well that time. No, it should be said that he hit the nail on the head and handled it with ease. It exceeded my expectations." Su Yan praised him fiercely, "In just a few months, my master has grown a lot."

Zhu Helin was proud: "That's natural, I'm a man now, my lord!"

Su Yan became narrow-minded for a moment, and deliberately looked up and down: "Where is a man?"

Zhu Helin grabbed his wrist and bared his teeth provocatively: "Everywhere is a man! Do you want to see the majesty of the young master?"

Su Yan just pretended to be a kid bickering, and laughed: "Xiongfeng, um, Xiongfeng...hahaha, I will definitely see it in the future, wait... two, three, four, five years, it will be almost the same."

Zhu Helin was so angry that he was so angry that he tried to hold back his anger, showing the demeanor of a mature man, blushing again, and said resentfully: "Just wait and see! One day, I will show you how powerful the young master is, and you will be convinced." ,Five-body cast."
