After I die, my wife becomes a tyrant

"Yue looks so depressed, and Xifu is still the capital of the country."

A group of more than ten people walked slowly on the imperial street of Xifu, looking around at the square streets on both sides. When they walked in from the city gate, there were still piles of ruins piled up on the square street near the city gate.

Some square streets have been cleared up, there are no ruins, only an open space, a few scattered buildings stand on the open space, dozens of people are busy in the open space, it seems that they plan to rebuild the square street, but there are not enough people.

"Old Feng Ge, I'm afraid it will be difficult to fulfill His Majesty's mission like this."

Feng Kedao, the prime minister of the state of Zhou, had a complicated and difficult life experience. He was successively used as prime minister by the nine emperors of the four dynasties of the Central Plains. More than ten years ago, the Khitan captured Bianliang, the capital of the previous dynasty. Don't be surprised, but this year is more than sixty years old. His Majesty was offended by his advice to dissuade him from conquering Khitan himself.

From Mizhou to Hangzhou by ferry, I didn't expect to see such a depressed situation.

General Lang, who was guarding the gate of the palace, saw more than ten people approaching. The old man at the head was tall and straight, with an extraordinary appearance, and was dressed in a purple robe. He guessed that it might be an extraordinary visitor, so he respectfully stopped him with inquiries:

"Where is the visitor?"

Feng Kedao raised his hands behind his back in front of him, holding a golden scroll in his hand——

Holy decree.

……

During the last regular court before the Yuanzheng (New Year's Day) vacation, the courtiers sat in the inner hall and reported the current situation of each temple one by one.

"Trust each monastery and each supervisor to do their best. Most of the nearly 300 merchant ships dispatched by the Dushui Supervisor have now returned and went to sea again. The Taifu Temple has stored many strange-shaped objects, and the minerals obtained are being sent by the Military Weapons Supervisor. And it will be used as a supervisor of smelting and casting, ignoring all kinds of strange things first, only counting minerals and grains. It is roughly estimated that more than two million taels of gold can be obtained for the recovery of various states. It is gratifying to congratulate. The [-] million stones have been distributed one after another, which is enough for more than two million disaster victims to survive the severe winter until the harvest in May next year." Kong Cheng'en, Minister of Taifu Temple, said.

"The implication is that there is still no money?" Wei Wei Siqing Yin Rui asked.

Kong Chengen nodded: "At least we don't have to endure the hardships."

"You have sent all the people to the states, what should I do as a tribute?"

"It's not that I sent all the subordinates, it's the order of Di Xia and Ye Gong, and I, Taifu Temple, just follow orders." Kong Chengen defended himself.

"Changgong, I have a countermeasure," Ye Qiufeng took a deep breath:

"This year, 10 taels of gold and 20 satin cloth will be used as tribute. Due to the shortage of food, there will be no tribute. I will personally go to Shangguo to pay tribute in the name of a tribute envoy."

"No, you are not allowed to leave." Hua Muyu immediately refused.

"It's so much more shabby than in previous years, I'm afraid... it will offend Shangguo." Zhang Mingzhong said in a low voice.

The courtiers were chattering, outside the inner hall, Feng Kedao silently looked around for a long time, which was not as good as the palace in Fang Street, where there were ruins everywhere, and he was surprised again and again.

However, I am also a little relieved that the dilapidated palace is not as dilapidated as Fangjie, which shows that the court of Yue Kingdom is generous and pragmatic.

"The envoy of the Shang Kingdom has arrived!"

During the discussion in the inner hall, a shrill but loud voice suddenly came from outside the hall, and there was a strong northern accent. All the officials turned their heads to look outside the hall, and saw more than ten people standing outside the hall. Stand up and bow respectfully.

Feng Kedao was surprised again, there was a Zhu table in the center of the inner hall, and the courtiers were seated to discuss the state affairs.

He could only go around one side, to the huge black curtain in front of the throne:

"The imperial decree has arrived, the ruler of the Yue Kingdom and all the ministers, listen to the decree."

Dozens of people bowed to the ground one after another, waiting quietly for the decree to be announced.

Feng Kedao held the golden scroll, but did not unfold it. Instead, he paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, and said leisurely in a sonorous and forceful voice:

"In the fifth year of Zhou and Xiande, the Great Zhou sent millions of troops to the north to attack Khitan, intending to recover the sixteen prefectures of Youyun. As a base, attack Guizhou and Ruzhou, conquer Yingzhou and Mozhou on the east road.”

"After three years of fighting, Khitan finally fled in embarrassment. In the Great Zhou Dynasty, we recovered Shuozhou, Huanzhou, Guizhou, Yingzhou, and Mozhou one after another. Sixteen prefectures have recovered five prefectures."

"It's a pity that Dongshu thought that I was too busy to manage, and dared to establish myself as emperor. This offended His Majesty, and His Majesty sent troops south to destroy the country in one fell swoop."

"The lessons learned from the past are right in front of us. Chu State (in the Hunan area) still refuses to learn from the lesson. Your Majesty will take advantage of the situation to destroy Chu."

"And the state of Wu was about to make a move, and sent 30 troops to the north to seize the Huai River. The sky failed to fulfill Wu's wish, and there was an earthquake." Speaking of this, Feng Kedao also felt a little funny:

"Your Majesty has no choice but to obey God's will, attack Wu State three times, and force Wu State to cede the six states in Jiangbei, otherwise the army will overwhelm the border."

"Come along this way, seeing that the country of Yue is also devastated, the old man can't bear to read out this imperial decree."

Ye Qiufeng listened silently, Shangguo became stronger and stronger, Wuguo was seriously weakened, good thing, good thing...

She whispered something in Yulu's ear, and Yulu relayed:

"Respectfully listen to the decree of the kingdom, and the ministers will obey it."

Feng Kedao unfolded the golden scroll and said loudly:

"The Son of Heaven issued a letter to the world, saying: The Khitans rely on their strength and horses, and they have suppressed the border several times. They have stolen my city in the Central Plains and humiliated my Central Plains for nearly a hundred years. I have decided to go on a personal conquest and recover the country. I am ashamed. Not only have I defeated the Khitans, but I have also defeated them." They destroyed Eastern Shu in the west and Chu in the south, and now they have triumphantly returned to Bianliang, ordering the Yue Kingdom to bring the annual tribute, 50 yuan in money, and a million grains of grain to Beijing, and they went to the Shangyuan feast together."

After the reading, the courtiers were shocked, and Ye Qiufeng gritted his teeth.

"The minister leads the decree."

Yulu couldn't wait for his father to speak, so he had to stand up and receive the order. All the officials also stood up one after another, with worried faces all over their faces.

"Young master..." Feng Kedao murmured, looking at Ye Qiufeng and Hua Muyu standing on both sides of Yulu.

After Hua Muyu said "Back to court", he invited the envoy of Shangguo and his party to sit in the inner hall, and ordered Honglu Temple to hold a banquet with etiquette.

"Minister, the lord of the country is young and doesn't know etiquette yet. I am the Duke Ding of the Yue Kingdom. Can I go instead?" Ye Qiufeng said bluntly:

"To tell you the truth, after the catastrophe, not only the country of Wu suffered heavy losses, but our country of Yue was also devastated. The annual tribute cannot be paid out so much. Even if it can be given out, it will be obtained from the mouths of the people. rule the country with evil."

"Well, you're not afraid of offending Your Majesty, it's okay to let you go," Feng Kedao said lightly, and after taking a sip of tea, he continued leisurely:

"The general trend of my great week has risen. All the countries have decided to pay more annual tribute than in previous years to please the country and protect itself. If you can't get it out of the country, how can you protect yourself? Go, my lord, your majesty may be able to... no Killing, the envoys are so low in tribute, they despise His Majesty and ignore His Majesty, it is hard to say how His Majesty will deal with it in order to save Long Zun."

"My country of Yue has paid tribute to the country for 63 consecutive years, and it has never stopped. Please ask the envoy to tell the truth on my country's behalf. This is not because of your Majesty's lack of attention, but because of incompetence." Hua Muyu said.

"This time I personally came to the country of Yue. I originally had a good impression of the country of Yue. I have gone through four dynasties and nine emperors. Some people envied me and worshiped me nine times. Some people accused me of treason nine times. I can survive. The most important thing is to be kind to the people. I once professed my vassal to the Khitan to prevent the Khitan from going south to slaughter the people in the Central Plains, but I was alone and powerless. This only made the Khitan Xige stop the war for less than five years. Now I am old. To say a few words of kindness for your country, it should be regarded as accumulating evil virtues, but it is also a charity." Feng Kedao's expression was calm:

"Before the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the truth will be disturbed here for a few days. At that time, together with you and others, we will return to Bianliang with the New Year's tribute."

……

After settling the guests from the upper kingdom to stay in the palace, Hua Muyu summoned ministers and ministers from various temples and temples, and wanted to form another envoy for the annual tribute, but no one dared to go, and would rather become an official than to be an official.

Shangguo first announced the decree after Ming destroyed Eastern Shu in the west, Chu in the south, and ceded the six states by Wu. It was obvious that he was using his strength to deter the enclave Yueguo that did not border with Shangguo. Even if he chose to offend Shangguo this time, the price would be high. It won't come too soon. After all, there are Han, Wu, and Qi in the surrounding area. If you want to pour troops into the country, you must first subjugate Wu to do it.

Anyone can go, but I don't want Ye Qiufeng to go, and what's even more troublesome is that only she dares to go.

Ye Qiufeng had been busy in Juzhang for many days, packing 20 bolts of satin cloth and 10 taels of gold (0.66 tons) into boxes one after another, loaded them fully onto the carriage, and then drove the carriage directly onto the ship.

From Yue State to Shang State, you have to take a ferry from Ninghai Bay to Mizhou, and then head west all the way until you reach Bianliang.

Counting the Lantern Festival as the number, Chikou and Xiaoji, it's up to people, and they shouldn't lose their lives.

"How about not paying tribute this time, who has honored the Shang Kingdom for more than 60 years, and now comes to intimidate the Yue Kingdom, which is too deceitful!"

In the inner hall, there was no constant court, but Ye Qiufeng sat here quietly thinking about countermeasures. Many courtiers passing by saw her after passing by, and they took their seats one after another, chatting about their thoughts.

"Anyway, they don't border each other, so if you want to pour your troops, you won't be able to."

"You can't just look at the present, you have to look at the next few decades. If you offend Shangguo today, if decades later, Shangguo still remembers this grudge, what should I do?"

"After all, someone has to go. It is impossible for the emperor to go. She still has to supervise the country. Isn't it good for the young master to go? Anyway..."

"No, I'll just go," Ye Qiufeng said calmly, but in fact he was quite disturbed:

"From the eyes of others, I, Ye Gong, are like a powerful official who controls the government. No one is more suitable than me."

"It's impossible for the emperor to let you go." Li Xu said in a low voice.

"She can't stop me." Ye Qiufeng smiled wryly.

"Pfft," Zhang Mingzhong recalled the past, and said with a smile:

"Of course Dixia can stop you. If you insist on going, she might break your leg."

Hearing the sound, Ye Qiufeng's legs hurt.

Suddenly, I remembered what Buyu had said——

No one can take her life unless she is the chosen one and she doesn't want it anymore.

If the general trend of Shang Kingdom is the same, His Majesty may be the chosen one that day?

……

"You assist the government, I will go."

"No !!!!"

In the inner hall, Ye Qiufeng let out a rare roar, and Hua Muyu's ears were stung. After being surprised, he turned angry and grabbed her ears:

"How dare you yell at me, and dare to mention you, I will break your leg."

"I've figured it out. If I go, I'll be back within ten days. If I don't come back within ten days, it won't be too late for you to break my leg." Ye Qiufeng took her hands from her ears and smiled , rubbing his sore ear.

"If you can't come back, how can I break your leg? It's better to break it now."

"I swear, I'll be back within ten days, I won't lie to you." Ye Qiufeng said with a shy smile, without evidence.

Hua Muyu frowned suspiciously:

"How can you be confident that you will be back within ten days?"

Ye Qiufeng thought for a while, then raised his left hand, counting with his brain burning:

"Well, Yuanzheng can see Shuoyue, do you believe it?"

……

On the roof of Jingcheng Palace, Hua Muyu was sitting on the gorgeous Zhuwa. It was just right (18:[-]), and the sky was still a little gray.

Together with Ye Qiufeng when I was young, I tried many times to see the new moon in the first day of junior high school, but I have never been able to see it.

I used to expect to see it before, but today, Hua Muyu secretly prayed, never to see it.

The two sat side by side silently, Hua Muyu was praying and could not be seen, Ye Qiufeng was praying nervously——

Shuoyue, come out quickly.

The sky was getting dark, and the dark night sky was faintly red.

Not long after, the black and red night sky in the west gradually revealed thin red halos.

"Look! Shuoyue has come out!"

Ye Qiufeng was very excited, it was exactly the same as what he saw when he looked back.

Little Liuren, it's amazing, he can actually pinpoint the positions of the stars, the sun and the moon.

Hua Muyu's heart was heavy, she stared blankly at the thin red circle of light in the dark night sky.

"Actually, this is a total solar eclipse. The sun is blocked by the new moon, and the circle of light is the sun. It takes more than ten years to see a total solar eclipse in the Central Plains. If you want to see it in Yuanzheng, it will take decades or even hundreds of years." Ye Qiufeng admired it Shuo Yue, holding her hand, was rarely happy.

Hua Muyu was unhappy, she wanted to see Shuoyue in the past, but today's Shuoyue was the last thing she wanted to see, but she did.

"Talk, isn't it pretty?" Ye Qiufeng looked at her.

Hua Muyu still didn't speak, her face was expressionless.

"Before I wanted to see the moon, it was because of you, your heart is as invisible as the moon, so I persisted in wanting to see the moon," Ye Qiufeng paused:

"The last time I watched Shuoyue with you was before we got married. That day I said, I like you, sincerely, but you said you don't need it. I'm very sad. I've been sad for many years."

"Need," Hua Muyu finally spoke, rubbing Ye Qiufeng's hand with both hands:

"Loyalty and sincerity are different. Loyalty is needed, but sincerity is more needed. So what if you see the new moon, you are not allowed to go."

Afterwards, Hua Muyu cursed and cursed a lot:

"What's the use of raising this group of courtiers who are greedy for life and afraid of death, no one dares to stand up, and they continue to resist orders."

"They don't have enough rank to go there. The envoys sent by the Shang Kingdom are all prime ministers. Of course, my Yue Kingdom must send courtiers of the same rank. I am the most suitable. Ye Gong and my relatives are in charge of politics, and the trusted generals will lead several military forces. , the courtiers are all close to me, the power is poured into the court and the public, and they control the government, and even the king is my heir, tsk, it looks like a treacherous minister who takes power and manipulates the country."

Hua Muyu squinted coldly at the smiling Ye Qiufeng:

"Seeing Shuoyue, are you happy?"

Ye Qiufeng withdrew from the deliberately relaxed look, and looked at her anxiously:

"It's so rare to be able to see the new moon. It's rare to see it in a hundred years. If I want to see it again, I'm afraid I'll have to wait for the next life. Why not be happy."

When Hua Muyu raised her hand, Ye Qiufeng's ears were picked up again:

"You won't see me for many days, are you so happy?"

"No, you let go," Ye Qiufeng pulled her hand off with pain, and she grinned because of the pain in her ears:

"I'm happy because the calculations are accurate, which means that I will be able to return without any worries. The night is cool and windy. Go down. Before you go for your husband, let's wait for a few days for your wife's well-being."

Ye Qiufeng coaxed the cold-faced stone Buddha with a good voice, and helped her down by stepping on the palace wall.

There is enough hot water in the ear room, and the hot water is burning continuously.

For several days in a row, he couldn't sleep, but had to take a bath. Ye Qiufeng was afraid that he would have another nosebleed.

She acted as a backrest and was leaned on, her eyes were soft and greasy, Hua Muyu looked so good-looking, she should be delicate, but she was so fierce.

A few strands of wet hair hang down on the collarbone or stick to the side cheeks, the slightly drunk eyes are seductive, and the seductive soul trembles.

It was cold in early spring, and hot water had to be added from time to time, the hot mist curled up in the ear room, and in the hazy warmth, still hugging the sweetheart in my arms, the comfort and comfort made the eyelids droopy and sleepy, Hua Muyu seemed to have fallen asleep, motionless, He didn't dare to let go of the hands around her belly, lest she slip down.

Tomorrow is the fifth day of the lunar new year, Ye Qiufeng decided to leave without saying goodbye, lest...

Raising his hand to caress her side cheeks, the touch is smooth and tender, and then touching her lips, a trace of electricity flows into his heart along the fingertips, his heart is soft because of this subtlety, Ye Qiufeng couldn't help baring his teeth and chuckling, The whole body is soft.

While appreciating with touch, Hua Muyu slowly opened her eyes, as if she had woken up from sleep, she turned around, put her arms around Ye Qiufeng's neck, stared at her with sleepy eyes, and leaned against her Neck, arms around her back.

Hua Muyu felt helpless:

"Can you take the initiative, the tiger will come to the sheep's mouth, and the tiger will teach the sheep how to hunt, the tiger will wake up."

"What kind of tiger-wolf principle is this? I am...respected, the lord of the Big Dipper under the mansion, straight in the center and straight in the outside, not vines or branches, can be seen from a distance but not played with."

Ye Qiufeng looked down at the person in his arms, said with a smile, and only lightly kissed her on the side of the cheek, which already made her heart flutter slightly, and she smiled dotingly and shyly.

The faint rising anger dispelled the drowsiness, Hua Muyu broke away from the hug, and when she looked up, she saw Ye Qiufeng's loving smile, which was written with openness and integrity.

With a soft sigh, he knew why he was so angry, and he was angry with her.

Hua Muyu got up suddenly, and half of the water in the bucket overflowed. After leaving the tub, she pressed Ye Qiufeng's shoulder angrily:

"Wake up, you stupid idiot."

Ye Qiufeng was caught off guard by the pressure, and she slipped directly into the water. She hurriedly struggled to grab the barrel wall.

There was a sudden darkness in front of her eyes, she couldn't grasp anything with her hands, and the horrible feeling of dying from choking on the water hit her fiercely, she struggled desperately to keep her head out of the water.

Open your eyes and see the Toupong River in the middle of the night?The bodies of generals lying or prostrate all over the shore.

Before he had time to take another look, his head sank into the water again, but he couldn't even cough due to choking on the water, so he could only helplessly pour water into his lungs.

Mu Yu, help me...

Hua Muyu walked behind the screen, put on her nightgown, glanced out by chance, only to see Ye Qiufeng sinking in the water motionless, she was startled, and hurriedly fished her out.

Ye Qiufeng's consciousness gradually lost, he felt himself gradually sinking into the bottom of the river, and then gradually floating up again, when he opened his eyes again, he saw "myself" standing on the surface of the river, watching his body gradually sinking in the river. Looking at the river bank, there are corpses all over the river bank, the corpses disappear one by one, and the translucent "corpses" slowly climb up from the ground one after another.

……

There was a muffled sound of "bang", which brought a sudden sharp pain, Ye Qiufeng sat up subconsciously, and saw himself sitting on the bed, only wrapped in a quilt.

Hua Muyu stood by the side with a nervous and pale face, and sat beside the bed.

Her chest was so painful and stuffy, she raised her hand in pain and covered her heart.

"I hammered your heart just now, but it hurts and you can't help it." Buyou said indifferently.

"Are... are you okay?" Hua Muyu blamed herself extremely, but... unexpectedly...

The terrifying sense of near-death made Ye Qiufeng flustered, and he was afraid that Hua Muyu would be worried, so he squeezed a smile and shook his head:

"fine."

Hua Muyu helped her to lie down, covered her with a quilt, pulled Buyu out, and asked what was going on, obviously just wanting to... flirt.

"Humans have three souls, one is Taiguang, the other is Shuangling, and the third is Youjing. Taiguang is the main god and life of human beings. She has died once, and the fetal light is unstable. Sometimes she leaves her soul and is trapped in water. , I told her to live in the world for four years earlier, in order to avoid death, in order to save her life against the sky, don't let her be flooded again, her fetal light is drawn by the head of the river, if she is flooded again, she may return to fate, Gone forever."

After Buyu finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to go back to his room. After walking three steps away, he stopped again, stared at the night sky in the northwest for a long time, and then turned around and said to Hua Muyu:

"Injured like that, the blood is almost gone, I survived because of you, some things, I hope you can listen to her, she won't hurt you, although...it seems like she is hurting you."

Hua Muyu gritted her teeth and nodded, following his gaze just now, she glanced at the northwest:

"Go to Shangguo now, will she be all right?"

"There are a lot of things. If you just ask her, she will be fine. If you go, you will be fine."

"What do you mean nothing serious?"

Hua Muyu asked, but shook his head and said "I don't know" before going back to the room.

Ye Qiufeng's hands and feet were cold, and when he closed his eyes, he saw Tou Penghe, and he didn't even dare to close his eyes, holding his sleepy eyelids so that they wouldn't drop.

Hua Muyu hurriedly took off her coat and got into bed, hugged her tightly, just about to say sorry, Ye Qiufeng said first:

"Don't say apology or anything like that, I didn't even know it would happen, and you didn't mean it."

Thinking of his destiny to drown in the Toupong River, Ye Qiufeng felt complicated, and even wanted to fill up that river.

"Mu Yu, when the hardships are over, fill the Toupong River for me. I don't want to see that river."

"Okay, I'll ask the Water Superintendent to fill up that river and build a pagoda on it."

"Pagoda? Don't tell me that some of my fetal light is scattered there. You built the pagoda to suppress me?"

Hua Muyu didn't speak any more, feeling flustered and self-blaming in her heart, she lay down on her body, with her head resting on the crest of her neck, her hands wrapped around her shoulders tightly, Ye Qiufeng was resting on her arm, so he could only raise his arm He hugged her and covered her with the quilt.

"You don't need to build a pagoda, it's a waste of money, it's good for you to keep me like this, it's really comfortable."

Ye Qiufeng turned his head slightly, looked at her with a smile, closed his eyes a little tentatively, and finally didn't see the Penghe, Ye Qiufeng finally relaxed:

"Mu Yu, it's useful for you to calm me down like this, it's so useful."

Ye Qiufeng let out an "ah" in relief, showing a more relaxed and reassuring smile.

Hua Muyu looked at her anxiously, but she was still smiling brightly, and even showed a few white rabbit teeth like a little rabbit:

"It almost hurt you, how can you still laugh."

"No," Ye Qiufeng kissed her forehead:

"In the world, flowers and leaves don't match each other. Flowers put into a golden pot and leaves become ministers. They are attached to you to live. How can you harm me? I can be a minister if you enter the golden pot. If you don't enter the golden pot, I will turn into dust. "

Hua Muyu stared at her, with a helpless chuckle at the corner of her mouth:

"But I beg you to be a husband, not a minister, when you go to bed."

Hearing the sound, Ye Qiufeng looked at the tempting soft red lips, and couldn't help biting the thin lips, Hua Muyu saw her biting her lips for the first time, it was fatal, fatal temptation.

……
