Gusu snow

Following Yunxiu's narration, Qianqiu gradually understood the changes that had taken place outside in the past few months.

Yun Shen said before that if Shen Yue walks the right path, then his ambition will definitely make him rise to the top.

But Shen Yue is not following the right path, so his "ambition" naturally becomes more and more ambitious.

Sure enough, after killing Yunfeng and driving away Yunshen and the Yun clan, a large number of courtiers who had previously remained silent and neutral gathered around Shen Yue.

Since then, the imperial court has been divided into two factions, one is the radical faction represented by Shen Yue, and the other is the aristocratic royal family represented by Qi Beisheng.

And Shen Yue knew that apart from Qi Beisheng's faction, he had no other hostile forces, and with the fact that he was deeply favored by the emperor, he became even more arrogant and presumptuous.

His self-knowledge was indeed good, Qi Beisheng's power was also very weak at that time, and the emperors who had been enthroned all the time would attack his brothers, so he could only restrain his edge.

But Shen Yue just forgot that just because he was favored by the emperor, didn't mean that the emperor had no doubts about him.

The person who ascended the throne, even the courtiers who were loyal to him and made great contributions to him before, could not be completely trusted by the emperor.

After all, these people are too easy to make great achievements and threaten their own authority. "A glass of wine releases military power" is a very typical example.

It's just that it's impossible for Qi Beizhao to eradicate Shen Yue all at once. Of course he knows what Shen Yue has done, but he is still new to the throne and needs someone to help him. The one who knows the bottom line is Shen Yue;

And at this time, he still couldn't find a reason to weaken Shen Yue's power logically enough.

So Qi Beizhao could only let Shen Yue do these things, he wouldn't let Yun Shen and Qianqiu stay in a hotel, suppress Qi Beisheng, he didn't care.

This stimulated Shen Yue's ambition even more, thinking that he really had nothing to worry about.And Qi Beizhao gave him an official promotion in a timely manner, which made him relax his vigilance even more.

For the rest of the time, Qi Beisheng's group tried their best to focus Shen Yue's attention on them. Qi Beisheng was familiar with Shen Yue's character, and a few words really aroused his anger and fighting spirit, and he no longer entangled with Yunshen and Qianqiu.

Qi Beisheng also secretly collected a lot of evidence of Shen Yue accepting bribes and forming a party for personal gain. At this time, Shen Yue began to urge Qi Beizhao to implement the New Deal.

Qi Beisheng was acutely aware of the inadequacy of the New Deal: Those that seemed to be for the benefit of the people actually satisfied their own interests and desires.

Qi Beisheng has only one comment on the New Deal: Excessive taxation.

Perhaps his evaluation was biased and overly subjective.But Shen Yue's personality is very impatient, and he is very eager to implement the New Deal. As soon as he is eager, the local government starts to be anxious, and indeed there is a tendency to extort money.

However, Qi Beizhao was in a high position, and the emperor was so far away that he didn't even know that Qi Beisheng's faction had submitted letters many times, but they were not taken seriously. One look at it, and it was clear that Shen Yue's faction was causing trouble.

What Qi Beisheng didn't expect was that his elder brother had an even more jaw-dropping hobby, that is, he liked luxury things.

So overnight, all kinds of rare treasures were sent to the palace, and Shen Yue even followed suit. He recruited many young and middle-aged men to build an extremely luxurious palace in Liangzhou, Jiangnan, and it was called Liangzhou World. .

It is said that the construction of this "Liangzhou World" cost hundreds of millions of silver, recruited hundreds of thousands of husbands, killed and injured countless people, and the people were in dire straits.

Everything is changing, so is Qi Beizhao.In addition to the changes in power, the bad elements in his character are also gradually increasing.

When he heard that a "Liangzhou World" was going to be built until he saw this "Liangzhou World", he has always maintained an attitude of full support, and he did not listen to the advice of Qi Beisheng's faction, and even slightly punished them People of this faction.This caused Shen Yue's faction to show off their power even more.

The reincarnation of Qin Shihuang is nothing more than that, right?

During this process, even though Qi Beizhao maintained a supportive attitude, he did not relax his vigilance towards Shen Yue.

He seemed to be holding such an unpredictable attitude, watching the battle between Shen Yue and Qi Beisheng, occasionally checking and balancing.

Sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, Qi Beizhao is of course happy.

This is the reason why Qi Beizhao would always agree to the several times when Qi Beisheng's faction raised admonishment.

Apart from "Liangzhou Shi", Qi Beizhao's life of debauchery and immorality has just begun, and the specifics can be known without going into details.

In short, it can be summed up in one sentence, Qi Beizhao and Shen Yue have separated, Qi Beizhao cannot fully trust him, and may even get rid of Shen Yue;

And Shen Yue is not a fool, and when protecting his own interests, he is no longer as presumptuous as before.

As for Qi Beisheng's faction, they were accumulating strength in secret, and there were already many righteous people behind the curtain, and their strength was already comparable to that of Shen Yue, and even surpassed him.

"Then is Liangzhou Shijian ready now?"

"No, how could it be so fast?" Qi Beisheng's eyes were complicated, "It will take eight or nine years at least. You have only been in Mijiang for eight months, and Liangzhoushi has laid a few foundations at most. Not to mention the recent epidemic, The project has long been delayed."

Qian Qiu said: "Oh. According to you, your situation is not as difficult as before, right? At least you can fight against Shen Yue."

Before anyone else could speak, Yunxiu was the first to speak. She frowned slightly and said seriously: "This is the worst situation. A Sheng is the emperor's brother. , Which emperor will not let his siblings go? Which emperor does not suspect that his siblings will come to seize the throne?"

Looking at Yunxiu's profile, Qianqiu felt a strange feeling again.He thought about it for a while before he knew what this feeling was.

It should be "smooth", "meticulous" and "mature".

He seemed to be suddenly enlightened, and then he really understood that the high-spirited, arrogant and free-spirited Yunxiu had left him.

Until late at night, several people talked for a long time. Ever since Qianqiu came to such a conclusion, he seemed to be depressed because of something.

Yun Shen gently wrapped his arms around his waist without saying anything.It's just that the warmth of the palm above gradually soothed Qianqiu's mood.

"Brother, let's live in the mansion tonight." Yunxiu said briskly, her brows and eyes were curved, she was obviously very happy.

Qi Beisheng also agrees to persuade him to stay.

Qian Qiu looked at the two people opposite, although he wanted to stay, but in his heart he wanted to go to Gusu Yunfu even more.

Yun Shen smiled softly: "If Gusu Yunfu is cleaned up, Qianqiu and I will go back to live in Yunfu."

Yunxiu curled her lips, but seeing Yun Shen's expression seemed determined, she obediently did not hold her back.

Before leaving, Qianqiu still couldn't hold back, pulling Yunshen and Yunxiu to stand outside the door.Yun Shen looked at him, then silently stood beside him, looking at Yunxiu.

Qianqiu hesitated and said: "Xiuxiu, are you happy?"

Yunxiu looked at Qianqiu and Yunshen fixedly, and after a while, she pursed her lips and smiled.After living together for so many years, of course she knows what Qianqiu means: "Naturally, I am happy. Whether it was before or now, I am very happy. My brother is well, Ah Sheng is well, I am well, I have nothing What is dissatisfied is just another way of being happy.”

"People have to accept their fate." She said softly, "But if you accept your fate, you will accept your fate. I want to accept it chicly!"

Yun Shen raised his lips and looked at Yunxiu: "Growing up..."

Prince Jing's Mansion is some distance away from Gusu Yun's Mansion, Qianqiu refused to take the carriage and instead walked with Yunshen.

After all, he spent a whole month on horseback, so he did feel a lot of boredom, and even when he saw the carriage, he thought of the fear of being dominated by the horse.

Yun Shen relied on Qianqiu, so naturally he didn't have any opinions.

At night, there used to be a night market in Gusu.However, the city was probably closed due to the epidemic, and there were no people on the streets, giving people a different kind of tranquility.

Qianqiu and Yunshen walked side by side in the night wind.

cool...

Yun Shen stretched out his hand, and took Qianqiu's hand naturally.

Qianqiu originally lowered his head, was caught off guard, raised his head slightly and looked around, and only looked at Yunshen reassuringly after finding no one there.

When they were in Mijiang, which was surrounded by mountains on three sides and blocked from news, they could hardly get any news from the outside world, so there were not so many troublesome things in life, let alone any changes.

Until leaving Mijiang and coming to Gusu this month, Qianqiu gradually saw many changes in things, whether it was people or things, they all became different from what he remembered.

It's like the vicissitudes of life, a dream is floating, and things are changing.

Yun Shen's face was extremely soft under the reflection of the moonlight, his appearance was excellent, and he himself was as gentle as jade.

How lucky, how lucky.

Even though everyone has changed, the person standing beside him has never changed.

Qianqiu suddenly stopped, and Yun Shen took two steps forward before realizing that he had stopped, so he also stopped Shi Shiran, turned his head, and looked at Qianqiu: "Is Qianqiu tired?"

Qian Qiu looked at him fixedly, pursed her lips and shook her head.

Seeing this, Yun Shen was not annoyed, he just smiled and asked, "How is that?"

Qian Qiu still didn't answer, Yun Shen was the only person in his pair of bright eyes.

Yun Shen also looked at him, waiting patiently for his answer.

Suddenly, Qianqiu seemed to be desperate, closed his eyes and stepped forward, kissing Yun Shen's lips.

Yun Shen was stunned for a rare moment, but quickly reacted, and wrapped his arms around Qian Qiu's waist, deepening the kiss.

After a kiss, Qianqiu;

Yun Shen stared at Qian Qiu, with a smile on his lips.

He rubbed the top of Qianqiu's hair and said dotingly: "Qianqiu, let's go back."

The sleeve was grabbed by someone, no doubt it was Qianqiu.

Yun Shen stood and watched.

Qian Qiu raised his head suddenly, his eyes were burning, and he was firm: "I never said, Yun Shen, I, I really like you."

Yun Shen pulled him into his arms: "My heart is the same."
