The bosses in the whole hell are pretending to be cute
Chapter 79 Before Life: Sheng Ze
Sheng Zipei looked back on his life, except for Xiaoqi, it seemed that he didn't remember anything.
Speaking of Xiaoqi, when he first met the seventh prince, he was still on the plum tree at home.
Sheng Zipei was just over seven years old at that time, with a dark complexion, a vigorous body, and his skin looked like something.When he saw a strange little brother under the tree, he didn't care, and let him look at him openly.
The little brother was three-headed, and he was staring at the green plum in his hand with big eyes.
Sheng Zipei thought the milk doll was quite fun, so he deliberately teased him with plums, and said, "Do you want to eat?"
Milk Baby only hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Sheng Zipei sat down on the tree and grinned: "Brother shouting, I'll eat it for you if you shout."
Milk Baby's voice is soft and waxy: "Brother."
Sheng Zipei was so excited by the soft appearance of the milk dumpling, he threw his big hand and gave him all the plums in his hand.
The milk doll couldn't wait to open her mouth and took a bite, then wrinkled her whole face together in sourness.
Sheng Zipei sat on the tree and laughed.
Then, Sheng Zipei saw his old father running over.
The old father called out "Seventh Prince" to the milk doll.
Sheng Zipei: ...
The current Holy Majesty has a total of seven sons, the oldest eldest prince is a few years older than him, and the youngest seventh prince is just three or four years old...it really fits the three-headed dumpling in front of him.
The "Seventh Prince" finished eating the plums, wiped his hands, looked at Sheng Zi Pei even more anxiously, and called, "Brother."
The grand man who suddenly became the royal family: ...!
Master Sheng's face was pale, and he gave his son a hard look.
Sheng Zipei's legs went limp and he fell from the tree.
Later, Sheng Zipei was beaten to death and couldn't get out of bed for a whole month.
What he didn't know was that in the palace, the emperor received a secret report that night, which recorded the ins and outs of the Seventh Prince secretly identifying his brother for him.
The emperor sat on it silently, while the eunuchs and spies below knelt on the ground, the atmosphere was dull and he dared not speak out.
After a while, the emperor pondered and approved: "Let them go."
So, a month later, Sheng Zi Pei, who had recovered from his injuries, became the companion of the Seventh Prince.
Sheng Zipei thought about it for a while, and if he was beaten up, he could take in a younger brother... Doesn't seem like a loss?
In fact, before getting to know the Seventh Prince, Sheng Zi Pei had a pretty good relationship with the First Prince due to some political reasons.
But after getting acquainted with the seventh prince, Sheng Zipei suddenly became displeased with the eldest prince.
For example, right now—
"Little Seven, I'll take you out to fight crickets after class." Sheng Zipei happily gestured to the Seventh Prince, "A mighty general of that size has come to the Zhaixing Building, with such a long hair..."
The Seventh Prince's eyes lit up, and he turned into a little milk cake!
So Sheng Zipei spoke more vigorously.
"Seventh brother." The eldest prince interrupted him with a smile, and asked scoldingly, "Have you finished your homework?"
The Seventh Prince lowered his head in shame: "No..."
The eldest prince grabbed the back of his neck, wanting to bring him back to the prince's mansion: "In that case, you are not allowed to go out today, I will let you finish before leaving."
The Seventh Prince was afraid of him, so he didn't dare to say more, so he could only ask Sheng Zi Pei for help.
Sheng Zipei yelled unhappily: "Xiao Qi is almost suffocated to death in the palace every day!"
The eldest prince glanced at him calmly, and asked, "You want to come with me too?"
Sheng Zipei immediately shut up.
The eldest prince carried the person away, and as he walked, he seemed to be comforting: "I'll let the small kitchen make food for you after finishing your homework, do you like goat milk?"
The Seventh Prince instantly forgot Sheng Zipei, the troubled brother, and happily said, "Eat!"
Sheng Zipei: QAQ
He also wants to eat.
Thinking about it carefully, before becoming a companion, Sheng Zipei was always messing around at home, making all his masters jump in anger.
After becoming a companion, Sheng Zipei didn't need to make a move anymore, and the seventh prince alone could make Master angry.
"Seventh prince, are you familiar with the "Strategy" that you learned yesterday?" The master asked.
The Seventh Prince rolled his eyes, and the little nurse said loudly: "Read it!"
The Master asked again: "Can you recite it?"
Seventh Prince: "Yes!"
Master: "Then recite it."
The Seventh Prince recited the first sentence, and then stood there in a daze.
Master: ...
The seventh prince has a noble status, and his master is not easy to punish, so he suffers from these companions, who are beaten in the palm of the hand and punished to stand.
There was a lot of chaos in the school.
Sheng Zipei stood at the door against the sun, his hands were burning with pain, but he didn't regret it in his heart.
——The master's attack was so ruthless that even he grinned his teeth in pain, so he couldn't bear to let this suffering fall on Xiao Qi's milk bun.
However, although Nai Baozi is a bit lazy, he is very righteous.
Seeing that the companions had been punished, he also sneaked out and stood with them.
The other companions were terrified, crying and begging Xiaoqi to go back, but only Sheng Zipei smiled happily, showing his white teeth, waved his hand, and said with determination: "Go, I will take you to skip class." !"
Companion readers: ? ? ?
The Seventh Prince followed and ran away.The two ran to the Imperial Garden and started catching crickets.
Sheng Zipei patiently taught him how to choose——
"This one is big and fat. It must be powerful in fighting."
"That one over there, it looks like General Changsheng! Hurry up, catch it!"
"Hahahaha this time it's in my hands. Xiao Qi, I'll take you to the Star Picking Tower another day to win money!"
The emperor stood not far away, looking at the two big and one small squatting on the grass in the imperial garden, lost in thought.
Mr. Sheng couldn't bear to look directly at him, stepped over in a few steps, and kicked his unfilial son.
"Who!"
Sheng Zipei turned around arrogantly.
Then he became sleepy in the next second: "Father..."
Mr. Sheng pointed at his hands and shook them: "You, how can you bring the Seventh Prince to do this?"
When Nai Baozi heard someone talking about him, he looked up and saw the bright yellow emperor.He grinned, ran over and hugged Father's leg, and said coquettishly, "Father~Hug~"
The emperor picked him up familiarly, and glanced at Sheng Zipei again.
Mr. Shan quickly pleaded guilty.
The emperor smiled lightly and said, "The children are just playing around."
Mr. Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, and said that he would beat Sheng Zipei up when he returned home.
Sheng Zipei rubbed his butt, feeling wronged - the emperor said that he would not pursue it!
Mr. Sheng continued to stare at him, and told him with the ruler that beat him all over the floor begging for mercy - no matter what, your father is your father after all.
Sheng Zipei, there seems to be some problem with luck.
It's fine if he doesn't do bad things, but as long as he leads Xiao Qi to do bad things, he will be discovered by the Holy One.
However, Xiaoqi's life is too boring.
Sheng Zipei remembered that when he first met Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi looked silly.But when he brought in all those things from outside the palace and taught him all the folk games, Xiao Qi's face became brighter.
"Brother Zipei, is the lantern you mentioned earlier really beautiful?" Xiao Qi raised his face like this and asked him attentively and expectantly.
Sheng Zipei grinned: "It's pretty, just wait, I'll go find it tomorrow and show it to you!"
Xiaoqi is satisfied.
In the end, Sheng Zipei himself readily agreed, but forgot that this was not a lantern festival, and there was nowhere to buy so-called lanterns.
Thinking of Xiaoqi's disappointed expression, Sheng Zipei was so worried that his hair almost fell out.
Fortunately, it was the old housekeeper who reminded him: "Young Master, if you really can't buy it, you can make it yourself."
Sheng Zipei said in surprise, "You will?"
The old butler: "...No. But young master, you read a lot, don't you teach how to make lanterns?"
When Sheng Zipei was told this, he remembered that there was indeed a copy of "Folk Notes" in his father's room. If he went to look through it, he might be able to gain something.
……
The next day, Xiaoqi received the lantern that she had been thinking about all night.
Sheng Zipei felt a little guilty when he looked at the rough skeleton and crookedly papered lantern.
Xiao Qi had never seen a lantern before, so he was easily intimidated by him. Instead of being disgusted, she happily asked someone to light a candle and ran around with it.
The eldest prince was stunned when he saw the lantern: "What is this?"
Xiao Qi proudly said: "Festival lantern! So the eldest brother has never seen it before?"
The eldest prince's gaze stayed on the wooden shelf for a moment, then he looked at Sheng Zipei expressionlessly.
Sheng Zipei rubbed his nose, feeling even more guilty.
The eldest prince sighed, rubbed Xiao Qi's head, and said earnestly, "Xiao Qi, Brother Eldest Prince, please let me go out of the palace next Lantern Festival."
Xiao Qi: "Huh?"
The eldest prince was very sad: "I will show you the real lantern."
Sheng Zipei looked up at the sky and sneezed.
……
Later, Xiaoqi, who was out of the palace, naturally knew what a lantern was, and also knew that the shoddy "wooden frame" was actually made by Sheng Zipei himself to coax him.
Pointing at the exquisite lantern, Xiao Qi said seriously: "But these lamps are good-looking, but it's not fun for Brother Pei to make them."
Big Brother: ...
Is it too late to save Xiaoqi's aesthetics?
Sheng Zipei was so moved that he thought to himself - this is Xiaoqi!Such a warm and considerate Xiao Qi...
After the lantern passed, Sheng Zipei returned to his study life with Xiaoqi skipping classes from time to time.
However, after suffering countless beatings, he finally came to his senses, and the next time he skipped school... besides Xiao Qi, he also dragged the eldest prince along.
He took the two of them and sneaked all the way to the lotus pond in the palace.
Sheng Zipei patted his chest, pointed at the pond and said proudly, "I'll take you to dig lotus roots!"
Xiao Qi was really excited: "Wow!"
The eldest prince had a stinky face, and he didn't seem to really want to get along with these two people.
However, in the next second, the seventh prince's chubby hand grabbed the eldest prince's clothes: "Eldest brother?"
The eldest prince looked down and compromised.
It was the harvest season in the lotus pond, and the chunky lotus roots were dug up in whole and packed in the cabin, and the boat was filled in a short while.
Xiao Qi is not very good at digging lotus roots, so he simply sat by the side of the boat and played in the water.
The First Prince saw it, and said, "Don't get your clothes wet, you'll catch cold easily."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Qi became unsteady, swayed, and fell directly into the pool.
First Prince: ...
Sheng Zipei: ...
Sheng Zipei was the first to react, anxious in his heart, without taking off his clothes, he jumped down the pool with a "plop".
First Prince: ...
With a headache, he waved to the shore - a small group of people immediately appeared on the shore and got into the water one after another, half of them were busy saving the Seventh Prince, and the other half were busy saving Sheng Zi Pei.
After the wet two were caught, they were naturally taught a lesson by their respective fathers.
Even the First Prince was implicated and punished.
On the second day, Sheng Zipei came to the school with a limp.
Xiao Qi was so distressed that she almost burst into tears: "Brother Zi Pei, are you alright?"
Sheng Zipei sat down on the cushion, but grinned in pain: "No, it's nothing, I just want to understand one thing."
Xiao Qi was busy getting him medicine for sores, and asked without raising his head, "What?"
Sheng Zipei's face was full of vicissitudes: "Your elder brother's luck seems to be not very good..."
First Prince: ...
The eldest prince felt that he was worried about these two people, but after that, if he played truant again, the eldest prince would tell his father.
The emperor hurt Xiaoqi very much, and after knowing it, he didn't say anything.
Days passed, and the three of them grew up slowly.
Perhaps it was because the friendship between playing truant when they were young was too deep. When they grow up, instead of being estranged, the three of them are closer than when they were children.
The thing Sheng Zi Pei loves most on weekdays is competing for favor with the eldest prince.
For example, if the First Prince gave Xiao Qi a clay figurine, he must also give Xiao Qi a script.
And every time at this time, Xiao Qi would give them a smile and shout softly: "Thank you big brother and brother Zi Pei."
Sheng Zipei thought secretly, when his name was ranked before "big brother", life would be complete.
However, let's talk about whether it is perfect or not, at this moment, the eldest prince looked at the little pornographic book in Xiao Qi's hand, directly brought Sheng Zi Pei over, and beat him up without saying a word.
Sheng Zipei was beaten in a daze.
As a result, after returning home, Mr. Sheng who received the news from the eldest prince was relentless, picked up the ruler and beat him up again.
Sheng Zipei:? ? ?
Who did you mess with me?
This doubt lasted until the eldest prince's coming-of-age ceremony.
After drinking, while messing around with Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi suddenly spit out a lewd word, wave, language, which scared Sheng Zipei sober in an instant.
Sheng Zipei said in surprise, "Where did you hear that?"
Xiao Qi: "It's in the book you gave me, Brother Zi Pei."
Sheng Zipei:? !
Speaking of this, Xiao Qi was quite unhappy: "All the books you gave me were confiscated by the eldest prince, but fortunately I have a good memory, so I wrote down the names of the books you gave me, Brother Pei, and asked Xiao Luzi to buy them again. pass."
Sheng Zipei: ...
The night wind blew, and Sheng Zipei felt a chill in his ass.
On the whole, Sheng Zipei's childhood and adolescence were basically passed smoothly, and the most troublesome thing every day was probably how to take Xiaoqi out without being beaten to death by his father.
Waiting until the year of Sheng Zi Pei Jiguan, the situation in the court suddenly became tense, and even the atmosphere in Sheng's mansion was a little uneasy.
Shanda has been in officialdom for many years and has a keen sense of politics.Before the storm was about to come, he handed over the paper early and asked to resign.
In the end, the papers hadn't been approved yet, but on a rainy day, the First Prince came to visit the Sheng Mansion.
When Sheng Zipei entered the door, the Eldest Prince stood outside the window, regardless of the strong wind and rain outside, he still opened the window on his own, half of his blue robe was soaked.
The eldest prince didn't look at him, but looked out of the window intently, with a calm tone: "Your father handed over the letter of resignation."
Speaking of this, Sheng Zipei rubbed his nose with a guilty conscience - from a political point of view, their family has some unclear relationship with the First Prince, so the Sheng family has always been on the side of the First Prince.
Now that his father resigned, it was like breaking an arm of the eldest prince, and Sheng Zi Pei felt somewhat sorry for him.
The eldest prince seemed to smile a bit, and said bluntly: "Don't worry, I was the one who asked Mr. Sheng to deliver this envelope."
Sheng Zipei was taken aback and looked at him in surprise.
"It's just an experiment." The eldest prince's voice was soft and low, "I handed over the booklet, but the emperor didn't approve it."
Sheng Zipei didn't think there was any problem with this, and explained: "As usual in my dynasty, resignation originally requires three invitations and three stays, and this is the first letter from my father."
The eldest prince looked back at him, his smile was fleeting: "I'm not talking about that. Just wait and see, no matter how many envelopes Mr. Sheng handed over, the emperor will not approve them."
Sheng Zipei froze in place, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.
The eldest prince closed the window, turned around, shut out the noisy sound of rain and thunder, and said: "Zi Pei, I will show you a clear way. If something happens to the Sheng family one day, I will only send you two." Character--"
The eldest prince paused, his red lips parted slightly: "Military camp."
The majestic torrential rain drenched the entire land, and the faintly unsettling turbulence was covered up by the heavy rain in the deafening thunder without a trace.
After the eldest prince left, Sheng Zipei stood alone in the room, looking at the orchids in the corner in a daze.
Sheng Changfeng entered the door, he seemed to be aware of it, and said: "What did the eldest prince tell you?"
Sheng Zipei's heart skipped a beat, and he looked away in a panic, but just inadvertently, he saw a strand of white hair on Sheng Changfeng's temple.
Sheng Zipei was stunned, subconsciously clenched his fist with his right hand, shook his head and said, "It's nothing."
Mr. Sheng rolled his eyes on his son's tense right hand, and smiled: "It's fine not to say anything, as long as you know it in your heart."
In fact, the accident that the eldest prince mentioned came faster than expected.
"Conspiracy, rebellion, treason...Eldest Prince, how is it possible?!" Sheng Zi Pei Hong stared, his hand holding the imperial decree couldn't stop shaking.
The palace man's eyes were cold and slippery. Hearing this, he smiled strangely, and said in a strange tone: "Young Master Sheng, you have to be careful about what you say. This matter is a certainty and cannot be changed."
Sheng Zipei bit his lower lip tightly to restrain himself from rushing forward to punch him.
After a series of charges were charged, Sheng Zipei sat in the lobby in vain, his mind was in chaos, and a clear idea suddenly emerged - what should Xiao Qi do if something happens to the eldest prince? !
Sheng Zipei panicked, turned around and was about to run into the palace.
But he was stopped at the door of the house.
Sheng Changfeng looked at the eldest son with complicated emotions: "What are you going to do?"
Sheng Zipei's eyes were red: "Xiao Qi..."
"The Seventh Prince knelt outside the Imperial Study Room, wanting to beg for mercy for the First Prince." Sheng Changfeng said coldly, "I was punished by the Holy Majesty and imprisoned for half a year."
Sheng Zipei's heart sank.
"Among all the princes, only the Seventh Prince is the most favored by the Holy One, but in this matter, even he can't be touched, do you understand?" Sheng Changfeng said earnestly.
clear.
How can you not understand?
The eldest prince is a signal. In the future, the Sheng family and the former eldest prince's party will not be able to escape.
Sheng Zipei's lips were trembling, and there were countless confusions and perplexities in his heart, with nowhere to release and no answer.
But in the end, he just said with a blank face: "I just, just want to see Xiaoqi."
Sheng Changfeng's eyes suddenly turned a little bleak when he looked at him.
……
Against the background of the eldest prince's treason, it seemed that something happened to the Sheng family so naturally.
There are 160 people in the main and collateral lines of the Sheng family, all of whom have been sent to prison.
On the day the house was ransacked, Sheng Zipei stood under the eaves in a daze, watching those antique vases shattered to the ground, and saw his father's collection of calligraphy and paintings thrown on the ground, stained with dirty footprints.
In a daze, he remembered the path of the First Prince.
barracks.
Sheng Zipei's eyes became clear in an instant, he ran out, knelt down to the case-handling officer of Dali Temple, and said, "Sinful Minister Sheng Zipei...I have something to explain."
A fold request to enter the camp was sent to the emperor's desk.
The contacts accumulated by the Sheng family over the years finally came in handy at this time. No one knew what happened in the study that day, but in the end, Mr. Sheng's sentence was changed from asking to be executed after autumn to exile for thousands of miles.
And three days later, Sheng Zi Pei, who was dismissed from all official positions, went into the barracks lightly and became a little centurion.
When Sheng Zipei left the capital, he looked back.
All the carved beams and painted buildings, red walls and yellow tiles, none of them fell into his eyes.
Sheng Zipei's last thought was only one - think about it carefully, it seems that he really hasn't seen Xiao Qi for a long time.
Life in the barracks wasn't that hard, it was just boring.
On average, Xiao Qi would send him a letter every two months, but because he was afraid of being found out, he only had a sentence or two at most, dozens of words each time, and it disappeared after a glance.
Sheng Zipei had no other choice but to save up the letters and read them several times when he had nothing to do.
After reading a lot, he could still see a trace or two of affection from the dry words.
The army was boring, and Sheng Zipei could only rely on these comforts to get by.
……
After he stayed in the army for a few years and accumulated some military merits, Sheng Zipei finally changed from a centurion to a lieutenant general.
At this time, Xiao Qi's reputation in the court gradually became more and more prominent, and he finally showed his edge.
On that day, the border was unstable, so Sheng Zipei asked to lead his troops to attack. As a result, the time and place were right, and he directly copied the Huns' hometown, which made another great contribution.
On the way back, Sheng Zipei was riding on a horse, carrying heavy armor, his eyelashes trembling with frost, and he couldn't help but feel a little happy - this time, he finally got a promotion again.
If you get promoted, you can give Xiao Qi a little more help.
However, Sheng Zipei's smile hadn't really reached his eyes when an urgent message suddenly arrived——
"The land of exile is bitter and cold, and the sinners are blown by the wind, beaten."
His hot heart froze instantly.
Sheng Zipei shuddered, and spit out a mouthful of blood on the letter.
Winter is fading away.
Because of Sheng Changfeng's matter, the emperor finally pulled out a little conscience in the corner, and issued a decree of kindness, conferring on Sheng Zipei as a mighty general.
There were songs and dances in the barracks to congratulate the new general on his assumption of office.
Sheng Zipei laughed loudly, and took all the drinks that came to him. Not long after, he became drunk and confused.
Dimly, he seemed to see the former Sheng Mansion, and saw Sheng Changfeng who was still in good health, chasing him with a ruler to beat him.
Sheng Zipei couldn't help laughing, smiled, but cried again.
Two lines of tears fell into the snow.
Sheng Zipei fell asleep on the spot, looked at the night sky, and said softly: "Xiao Qi, it seems that I only have you."
……
On the first day of spring, the old emperor, who had been suffering from illness for several years, finally failed to survive this winter.
The original seven princes died and fell ill. Everyone looked around and saw that the only one left who could inherit the throne was the youngest seven princes.
The new emperor ascended the throne and pardoned the world.
When the letter from Jingzhong came, Sheng Zipei laughed three times in the camp, drank a whole jar of wine happily, and then went out and said to the lieutenants: "Brothers, you can go home!"
There was an instant burst of cheers in the barracks.
The spring breeze was proud of the horseshoe, and Sheng Zipei hurried back to the capital, riding a tall horse in the city, but his heart was in a mess.
Then, when he saw the sedan chair in front of him, Sheng Zipei's mind suddenly went blank.
Lifting up the curtain with thin hands, the new emperor looked at him gently with black and white eyes through a layer of curtain.
Sheng Zipei was stunned for a long time, and finally got off his horse in a "swipe", knelt down on the ground sincerely, and said, "I pay my respects to the emperor."
Xinhuang's hands rested firmly on Sheng Zipei's wrists.
Xiaoqi was silent for a long time, finally let out a sigh of relief, and sighed softly: "It's good to be back."
Sheng Zipei's forehead pressed against the back of his hand, and he couldn't help crying silently.
After staying in Beijing for half a year, Sheng Zipei gradually felt that Xiaoqi was different from before, but he didn't care too much about it.
——They are all emperors, how can there be no change?
Sheng Ze thought.
Sheng Zipei could think about it by himself, but his lieutenants couldn't hold back anymore.
"General, let me tell you something you don't like to hear, the one above... I'm afraid he is a little wary of us." The lieutenants couldn't help but said.
Sheng Zipei smiled.
"Just guard against it. My life is his. Whatever you want, just take it away." Sheng Zipei grinned and drank a big gulp of spirits.
The lieutenants were all rough men, and they didn't think there was anything wrong when they heard it. Instead, they agreed with each other: "The general is really free and easy! Also, we are loyal to the emperor, and we can even give our lives. What else should we worry about?"
Sheng Zipei was sour: ...
He wanted to say, no, I am different from you!
Ordinary people like you simply cannot understand my hard thinking and admiration for him!
However, Sheng Zipei dared not say this.
Xiao Qi didn't dare to say it when he was just a prince, but he couldn't say it when he became an emperor.
Therefore, Sheng Zipei decided to just guard him well, and that would be fine.
however……
From the next year onwards, he has been on the battlefield all the time and has not returned to Beijing for five years.
Sheng Zipei: ...
Don't talk about guarding, now I can't even see it! ! !
After finally pacifying the frontier, Sheng Zipei returned to Beijing, and before his butt was hot, Xiao Qi wanted to send him out again to find Lao Shizi's Yao Wang Zhu.
Sheng Zipei sat in the imperial study room like a fool, looking at a certain emperor resentfully, refusing to move.
Xiao Qi seemed to guess what he was thinking, and ignored him, concentrating on reviewing the notes.
Sheng Zipei was even angrier.
Xiao Qi didn't care about him, and let him eat three big bowls of snacks as if venting his anger, and finally couldn't hold back, turned his head to the side, covered the corner of his mouth and smiled.
Sheng Zipei's heart softened all of a sudden.
"Pharmaceutical King Pearl or something, just look for it." Sheng Zipei said angrily, "But after I come back, you can't drive me away again."
Xiao Qi looked at him, unable to hide the shallow smile in his eyes.
He readily responded, "Okay."
So, Sheng Zipei left.
Three months later, Xiaoqi died of illness.
Sheng Zipei held the Yaowang Pearl and watched the whole country mourn together with a dazed expression.
He hadn't had time to get angry, and he hadn't even had time to see what the newly enthroned emperor looked like. After a will was issued, he was directly sent to guard the imperial mausoleum.
The lieutenants looked at him with sympathy and fear at the same time. After holding back for a long time, they dared to mutter in a low voice: "Is the emperor cheating you..."
Sheng Zipei: ...
of course!Absolutely!
But, people are dead, and he can't even bear to scold him.
At last.
Sheng Zipei numbly went to guard the imperial tomb——
In the first year after Xiaoqi's death, Sheng Zipei just dawdled around in there, and basically didn't have any memory of him.
In the third year after Xiaoqi's death, Sheng Zipei came back to his senses and began to scold Xiaoqi for three meals a day, crying while scolding.
In the fifth year after Xiao Qi's death, Sheng Zi Pei completely regained his blood, and during his long career of guarding the spirit, he developed the skills of a playwright, and began to have sex with Xiao Qi's coffin...
"Oh, I folded this flower for you. Bright yellow suits you best."
"Let me tell you, the food delivered today is quite delicious, what? You want to eat it too? Then you have to call brother, otherwise I won't eat it for you."
"It's just the two of us here, do you think this counts as staying together?"
Sheng Zipei could talk about it all day long by himself.
The First Prince Gu Qing who witnessed how General Sheng went crazy: ...
"You seem to be doing well?"
Finally one day, Lu Qing couldn't help showing up.
Sheng Zipei didn't realize it for a while, and replied directly: "I figured it out. If I'm alive, I won't be able to be with him in my life; if I'm dead, I can actually own his whole person? Thinking about it this way." , I'm really happy..."
Gu Qing: ...
Do you think about this every day when you look at the corpse?
"...Damn, First Prince!" Sheng Zipei suddenly realized.
Gu Qing sarcastically said with a half-smile: "Yo, do you still remember?"
Sheng Zipei was shocked: "Aren't you dead?! Wait, you're not dead? Then all my paper money was burned?"
Gu Qing: ...
"First of all, I'm dead." Gu Qing was expressionless, looking at him as if he was looking at a mentally retarded person, "Secondly, you only burned me for one year."
Sheng Zipei coughed dryly: "It's fine if you want it. By the way, if you die, then Xiao Qi..."
Lu Qing was silent for a while, then said: "Xiaoqi is going to reincarnate soon."
Sheng Zipei was stunned for a moment, with a dazed expression on his face: "Oh, um, it's good to be reincarnated, it's good to be able to reincarnate..."
"Zi Pei." Gu Qing called out.
Sheng Zipei raised his head in a daze.
Gu Qing seemed to be unable to bear it, but after a while, he hardened his heart and said, "I have something to ask you."
Sheng Zi Pei shivered and refused: "Don't. You asked me to take care of Xiaoqi last time, and after that, you died and the Sheng family was finished. I'm afraid I can't bear it if you ask me again this time." ..."
Gu Qing held back his temper and smiled, gritted his teeth and said: "It's about Xiao Qi."
Sheng Zipei immediately became serious: "Say it."
"During Xiaoqi's reign, he fought for many years..." Gu Qing hesitated, and sighed, "Although he has made great achievements in governance, the years of fighting have caused countless deaths and injuries to the people on both sides. They all suffered greatly from it. Therefore, Xiaoqi's moral conduct has been demeritful and his sins are serious in this life, and he needs to make atonement for this. If not, in the next ten lives, he will either fall into the realm of an animal or the realm of evil people."
Sheng Zi Pei immediately became angry: "The Huns invaded first, can this also be blamed on him?"
Lu Qing had a sullen face, but there was nothing he could do.
"Even so, I fought the battle, and I should be blamed." Sheng Zipei was indignant.
Lu Qing smiled, nodded and said, "Coincidentally, I thought so too."
Sheng Zipei: ...
Gu Qing: "If you want, Xiao Qi's crimes will be borne by you."
Of course Sheng Zipei was very willing and nodded immediately.
Gu Qing said solemnly: "Actually, it happened to coincide with the period of turmoil in the underworld that made Xiaoqi bear these sins. Now, the evil ghosts are rampant in the underworld, and the good ghosts are tortured instead. If you want, you can accept the ghost king's order." This crime will be paid for by clearing the underworld."
Sheng Zipei looked at him, nodded and said, "Okay."
——Evil ghosts are not obedient, just beat them until they are obedient.
This he will.
Lu Qing softened his eyebrows and said, "Thank you."
Sheng Zipei smiled happily: "For Xiaoqi, I am willing. But, did you lose to me this time? I am Brother Zipei who can solve his problems even after death..."
Gu Qing's face turned cold instantly, and he sneered: "How do you know that I didn't take care of him?"
Sheng Zipei looked blankly: "Huh?"
"I've already taken half of the burden for him, if it wasn't for the other half, I really can't solve it, otherwise how could it be your turn?" Lu Qing said with a disgusted face.
Sheng Zipei: ...
When he was alive, the Eldest Prince was quite unpleasant, but after his death, he would be even more annoying!
Gu Qing made a way out, he was too lazy to talk, and urged: "Let's go."
Sheng Zipei frowned, looked at his back, and asked, "I'm the king of ghosts, what about you? What are you doing?"
Gu Qing's indifferent voice sounded: "Assuming the post of King of Hades, rebuilding the order of the underworld, and not leaving the underworld for 700 years."
Sheng Zipei: ...
unhappy!
It sounds more powerful than his official position!
It seems that it has been compared again!
Lu Qing: "That's right, since he's dead, why not give him a new name in the future."
Sheng Zi Pei was dying and said, "Oh, what about you?"
Gu Qing: "I'll change my surname to Gu, and the single name should be Qing."
Sheng Zipei thought for a while, and said, "I won't change my surname, but I'll take a single character for my first name too?"
Gu Qing murmured: "It's okay. The ghost king is in charge of law enforcement in the underworld, why not call you Sheng Fa."
Sheng Zipei: "...so ugly!"
"Forget it, why don't I call it Ze?" Sheng Zi Pei said flatteredly, "Sheng Ze, Sheng Ze, sounds nice. And Xiao Qi always said that Ze is famous in the world..."
Lu Qing pursed his lips in disgust: "Then why aren't you called Sheng Tianxia?"
Sheng Ze: "...Sheng Tianxia sounds silly!"
The two walked side by side, the candlelight in the imperial mausoleum gradually faded, the figures of the two faded away, and gradually drifted away...
The author has something to say: Ah, I’m writing a knife, so excited! ! !
For Sheng Ze, it was actually a hard-fought story of a secret love in his lifetime.
To this - Gu Qing protested, Su Ling expressed dissatisfaction.
They said: The story is not like this at all! ! !
What are the facts? Let’s see the breakdown in the next chapter...

Speaking of Xiaoqi, when he first met the seventh prince, he was still on the plum tree at home.
Sheng Zipei was just over seven years old at that time, with a dark complexion, a vigorous body, and his skin looked like something.When he saw a strange little brother under the tree, he didn't care, and let him look at him openly.
The little brother was three-headed, and he was staring at the green plum in his hand with big eyes.
Sheng Zipei thought the milk doll was quite fun, so he deliberately teased him with plums, and said, "Do you want to eat?"
Milk Baby only hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Sheng Zipei sat down on the tree and grinned: "Brother shouting, I'll eat it for you if you shout."
Milk Baby's voice is soft and waxy: "Brother."
Sheng Zipei was so excited by the soft appearance of the milk dumpling, he threw his big hand and gave him all the plums in his hand.
The milk doll couldn't wait to open her mouth and took a bite, then wrinkled her whole face together in sourness.
Sheng Zipei sat on the tree and laughed.
Then, Sheng Zipei saw his old father running over.
The old father called out "Seventh Prince" to the milk doll.
Sheng Zipei: ...
The current Holy Majesty has a total of seven sons, the oldest eldest prince is a few years older than him, and the youngest seventh prince is just three or four years old...it really fits the three-headed dumpling in front of him.
The "Seventh Prince" finished eating the plums, wiped his hands, looked at Sheng Zi Pei even more anxiously, and called, "Brother."
The grand man who suddenly became the royal family: ...!
Master Sheng's face was pale, and he gave his son a hard look.
Sheng Zipei's legs went limp and he fell from the tree.
Later, Sheng Zipei was beaten to death and couldn't get out of bed for a whole month.
What he didn't know was that in the palace, the emperor received a secret report that night, which recorded the ins and outs of the Seventh Prince secretly identifying his brother for him.
The emperor sat on it silently, while the eunuchs and spies below knelt on the ground, the atmosphere was dull and he dared not speak out.
After a while, the emperor pondered and approved: "Let them go."
So, a month later, Sheng Zi Pei, who had recovered from his injuries, became the companion of the Seventh Prince.
Sheng Zipei thought about it for a while, and if he was beaten up, he could take in a younger brother... Doesn't seem like a loss?
In fact, before getting to know the Seventh Prince, Sheng Zi Pei had a pretty good relationship with the First Prince due to some political reasons.
But after getting acquainted with the seventh prince, Sheng Zipei suddenly became displeased with the eldest prince.
For example, right now—
"Little Seven, I'll take you out to fight crickets after class." Sheng Zipei happily gestured to the Seventh Prince, "A mighty general of that size has come to the Zhaixing Building, with such a long hair..."
The Seventh Prince's eyes lit up, and he turned into a little milk cake!
So Sheng Zipei spoke more vigorously.
"Seventh brother." The eldest prince interrupted him with a smile, and asked scoldingly, "Have you finished your homework?"
The Seventh Prince lowered his head in shame: "No..."
The eldest prince grabbed the back of his neck, wanting to bring him back to the prince's mansion: "In that case, you are not allowed to go out today, I will let you finish before leaving."
The Seventh Prince was afraid of him, so he didn't dare to say more, so he could only ask Sheng Zi Pei for help.
Sheng Zipei yelled unhappily: "Xiao Qi is almost suffocated to death in the palace every day!"
The eldest prince glanced at him calmly, and asked, "You want to come with me too?"
Sheng Zipei immediately shut up.
The eldest prince carried the person away, and as he walked, he seemed to be comforting: "I'll let the small kitchen make food for you after finishing your homework, do you like goat milk?"
The Seventh Prince instantly forgot Sheng Zipei, the troubled brother, and happily said, "Eat!"
Sheng Zipei: QAQ
He also wants to eat.
Thinking about it carefully, before becoming a companion, Sheng Zipei was always messing around at home, making all his masters jump in anger.
After becoming a companion, Sheng Zipei didn't need to make a move anymore, and the seventh prince alone could make Master angry.
"Seventh prince, are you familiar with the "Strategy" that you learned yesterday?" The master asked.
The Seventh Prince rolled his eyes, and the little nurse said loudly: "Read it!"
The Master asked again: "Can you recite it?"
Seventh Prince: "Yes!"
Master: "Then recite it."
The Seventh Prince recited the first sentence, and then stood there in a daze.
Master: ...
The seventh prince has a noble status, and his master is not easy to punish, so he suffers from these companions, who are beaten in the palm of the hand and punished to stand.
There was a lot of chaos in the school.
Sheng Zipei stood at the door against the sun, his hands were burning with pain, but he didn't regret it in his heart.
——The master's attack was so ruthless that even he grinned his teeth in pain, so he couldn't bear to let this suffering fall on Xiao Qi's milk bun.
However, although Nai Baozi is a bit lazy, he is very righteous.
Seeing that the companions had been punished, he also sneaked out and stood with them.
The other companions were terrified, crying and begging Xiaoqi to go back, but only Sheng Zipei smiled happily, showing his white teeth, waved his hand, and said with determination: "Go, I will take you to skip class." !"
Companion readers: ? ? ?
The Seventh Prince followed and ran away.The two ran to the Imperial Garden and started catching crickets.
Sheng Zipei patiently taught him how to choose——
"This one is big and fat. It must be powerful in fighting."
"That one over there, it looks like General Changsheng! Hurry up, catch it!"
"Hahahaha this time it's in my hands. Xiao Qi, I'll take you to the Star Picking Tower another day to win money!"
The emperor stood not far away, looking at the two big and one small squatting on the grass in the imperial garden, lost in thought.
Mr. Sheng couldn't bear to look directly at him, stepped over in a few steps, and kicked his unfilial son.
"Who!"
Sheng Zipei turned around arrogantly.
Then he became sleepy in the next second: "Father..."
Mr. Sheng pointed at his hands and shook them: "You, how can you bring the Seventh Prince to do this?"
When Nai Baozi heard someone talking about him, he looked up and saw the bright yellow emperor.He grinned, ran over and hugged Father's leg, and said coquettishly, "Father~Hug~"
The emperor picked him up familiarly, and glanced at Sheng Zipei again.
Mr. Shan quickly pleaded guilty.
The emperor smiled lightly and said, "The children are just playing around."
Mr. Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, and said that he would beat Sheng Zipei up when he returned home.
Sheng Zipei rubbed his butt, feeling wronged - the emperor said that he would not pursue it!
Mr. Sheng continued to stare at him, and told him with the ruler that beat him all over the floor begging for mercy - no matter what, your father is your father after all.
Sheng Zipei, there seems to be some problem with luck.
It's fine if he doesn't do bad things, but as long as he leads Xiao Qi to do bad things, he will be discovered by the Holy One.
However, Xiaoqi's life is too boring.
Sheng Zipei remembered that when he first met Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi looked silly.But when he brought in all those things from outside the palace and taught him all the folk games, Xiao Qi's face became brighter.
"Brother Zipei, is the lantern you mentioned earlier really beautiful?" Xiao Qi raised his face like this and asked him attentively and expectantly.
Sheng Zipei grinned: "It's pretty, just wait, I'll go find it tomorrow and show it to you!"
Xiaoqi is satisfied.
In the end, Sheng Zipei himself readily agreed, but forgot that this was not a lantern festival, and there was nowhere to buy so-called lanterns.
Thinking of Xiaoqi's disappointed expression, Sheng Zipei was so worried that his hair almost fell out.
Fortunately, it was the old housekeeper who reminded him: "Young Master, if you really can't buy it, you can make it yourself."
Sheng Zipei said in surprise, "You will?"
The old butler: "...No. But young master, you read a lot, don't you teach how to make lanterns?"
When Sheng Zipei was told this, he remembered that there was indeed a copy of "Folk Notes" in his father's room. If he went to look through it, he might be able to gain something.
……
The next day, Xiaoqi received the lantern that she had been thinking about all night.
Sheng Zipei felt a little guilty when he looked at the rough skeleton and crookedly papered lantern.
Xiao Qi had never seen a lantern before, so he was easily intimidated by him. Instead of being disgusted, she happily asked someone to light a candle and ran around with it.
The eldest prince was stunned when he saw the lantern: "What is this?"
Xiao Qi proudly said: "Festival lantern! So the eldest brother has never seen it before?"
The eldest prince's gaze stayed on the wooden shelf for a moment, then he looked at Sheng Zipei expressionlessly.
Sheng Zipei rubbed his nose, feeling even more guilty.
The eldest prince sighed, rubbed Xiao Qi's head, and said earnestly, "Xiao Qi, Brother Eldest Prince, please let me go out of the palace next Lantern Festival."
Xiao Qi: "Huh?"
The eldest prince was very sad: "I will show you the real lantern."
Sheng Zipei looked up at the sky and sneezed.
……
Later, Xiaoqi, who was out of the palace, naturally knew what a lantern was, and also knew that the shoddy "wooden frame" was actually made by Sheng Zipei himself to coax him.
Pointing at the exquisite lantern, Xiao Qi said seriously: "But these lamps are good-looking, but it's not fun for Brother Pei to make them."
Big Brother: ...
Is it too late to save Xiaoqi's aesthetics?
Sheng Zipei was so moved that he thought to himself - this is Xiaoqi!Such a warm and considerate Xiao Qi...
After the lantern passed, Sheng Zipei returned to his study life with Xiaoqi skipping classes from time to time.
However, after suffering countless beatings, he finally came to his senses, and the next time he skipped school... besides Xiao Qi, he also dragged the eldest prince along.
He took the two of them and sneaked all the way to the lotus pond in the palace.
Sheng Zipei patted his chest, pointed at the pond and said proudly, "I'll take you to dig lotus roots!"
Xiao Qi was really excited: "Wow!"
The eldest prince had a stinky face, and he didn't seem to really want to get along with these two people.
However, in the next second, the seventh prince's chubby hand grabbed the eldest prince's clothes: "Eldest brother?"
The eldest prince looked down and compromised.
It was the harvest season in the lotus pond, and the chunky lotus roots were dug up in whole and packed in the cabin, and the boat was filled in a short while.
Xiao Qi is not very good at digging lotus roots, so he simply sat by the side of the boat and played in the water.
The First Prince saw it, and said, "Don't get your clothes wet, you'll catch cold easily."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Qi became unsteady, swayed, and fell directly into the pool.
First Prince: ...
Sheng Zipei: ...
Sheng Zipei was the first to react, anxious in his heart, without taking off his clothes, he jumped down the pool with a "plop".
First Prince: ...
With a headache, he waved to the shore - a small group of people immediately appeared on the shore and got into the water one after another, half of them were busy saving the Seventh Prince, and the other half were busy saving Sheng Zi Pei.
After the wet two were caught, they were naturally taught a lesson by their respective fathers.
Even the First Prince was implicated and punished.
On the second day, Sheng Zipei came to the school with a limp.
Xiao Qi was so distressed that she almost burst into tears: "Brother Zi Pei, are you alright?"
Sheng Zipei sat down on the cushion, but grinned in pain: "No, it's nothing, I just want to understand one thing."
Xiao Qi was busy getting him medicine for sores, and asked without raising his head, "What?"
Sheng Zipei's face was full of vicissitudes: "Your elder brother's luck seems to be not very good..."
First Prince: ...
The eldest prince felt that he was worried about these two people, but after that, if he played truant again, the eldest prince would tell his father.
The emperor hurt Xiaoqi very much, and after knowing it, he didn't say anything.
Days passed, and the three of them grew up slowly.
Perhaps it was because the friendship between playing truant when they were young was too deep. When they grow up, instead of being estranged, the three of them are closer than when they were children.
The thing Sheng Zi Pei loves most on weekdays is competing for favor with the eldest prince.
For example, if the First Prince gave Xiao Qi a clay figurine, he must also give Xiao Qi a script.
And every time at this time, Xiao Qi would give them a smile and shout softly: "Thank you big brother and brother Zi Pei."
Sheng Zipei thought secretly, when his name was ranked before "big brother", life would be complete.
However, let's talk about whether it is perfect or not, at this moment, the eldest prince looked at the little pornographic book in Xiao Qi's hand, directly brought Sheng Zi Pei over, and beat him up without saying a word.
Sheng Zipei was beaten in a daze.
As a result, after returning home, Mr. Sheng who received the news from the eldest prince was relentless, picked up the ruler and beat him up again.
Sheng Zipei:? ? ?
Who did you mess with me?
This doubt lasted until the eldest prince's coming-of-age ceremony.
After drinking, while messing around with Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi suddenly spit out a lewd word, wave, language, which scared Sheng Zipei sober in an instant.
Sheng Zipei said in surprise, "Where did you hear that?"
Xiao Qi: "It's in the book you gave me, Brother Zi Pei."
Sheng Zipei:? !
Speaking of this, Xiao Qi was quite unhappy: "All the books you gave me were confiscated by the eldest prince, but fortunately I have a good memory, so I wrote down the names of the books you gave me, Brother Pei, and asked Xiao Luzi to buy them again. pass."
Sheng Zipei: ...
The night wind blew, and Sheng Zipei felt a chill in his ass.
On the whole, Sheng Zipei's childhood and adolescence were basically passed smoothly, and the most troublesome thing every day was probably how to take Xiaoqi out without being beaten to death by his father.
Waiting until the year of Sheng Zi Pei Jiguan, the situation in the court suddenly became tense, and even the atmosphere in Sheng's mansion was a little uneasy.
Shanda has been in officialdom for many years and has a keen sense of politics.Before the storm was about to come, he handed over the paper early and asked to resign.
In the end, the papers hadn't been approved yet, but on a rainy day, the First Prince came to visit the Sheng Mansion.
When Sheng Zipei entered the door, the Eldest Prince stood outside the window, regardless of the strong wind and rain outside, he still opened the window on his own, half of his blue robe was soaked.
The eldest prince didn't look at him, but looked out of the window intently, with a calm tone: "Your father handed over the letter of resignation."
Speaking of this, Sheng Zipei rubbed his nose with a guilty conscience - from a political point of view, their family has some unclear relationship with the First Prince, so the Sheng family has always been on the side of the First Prince.
Now that his father resigned, it was like breaking an arm of the eldest prince, and Sheng Zi Pei felt somewhat sorry for him.
The eldest prince seemed to smile a bit, and said bluntly: "Don't worry, I was the one who asked Mr. Sheng to deliver this envelope."
Sheng Zipei was taken aback and looked at him in surprise.
"It's just an experiment." The eldest prince's voice was soft and low, "I handed over the booklet, but the emperor didn't approve it."
Sheng Zipei didn't think there was any problem with this, and explained: "As usual in my dynasty, resignation originally requires three invitations and three stays, and this is the first letter from my father."
The eldest prince looked back at him, his smile was fleeting: "I'm not talking about that. Just wait and see, no matter how many envelopes Mr. Sheng handed over, the emperor will not approve them."
Sheng Zipei froze in place, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.
The eldest prince closed the window, turned around, shut out the noisy sound of rain and thunder, and said: "Zi Pei, I will show you a clear way. If something happens to the Sheng family one day, I will only send you two." Character--"
The eldest prince paused, his red lips parted slightly: "Military camp."
The majestic torrential rain drenched the entire land, and the faintly unsettling turbulence was covered up by the heavy rain in the deafening thunder without a trace.
After the eldest prince left, Sheng Zipei stood alone in the room, looking at the orchids in the corner in a daze.
Sheng Changfeng entered the door, he seemed to be aware of it, and said: "What did the eldest prince tell you?"
Sheng Zipei's heart skipped a beat, and he looked away in a panic, but just inadvertently, he saw a strand of white hair on Sheng Changfeng's temple.
Sheng Zipei was stunned, subconsciously clenched his fist with his right hand, shook his head and said, "It's nothing."
Mr. Sheng rolled his eyes on his son's tense right hand, and smiled: "It's fine not to say anything, as long as you know it in your heart."
In fact, the accident that the eldest prince mentioned came faster than expected.
"Conspiracy, rebellion, treason...Eldest Prince, how is it possible?!" Sheng Zi Pei Hong stared, his hand holding the imperial decree couldn't stop shaking.
The palace man's eyes were cold and slippery. Hearing this, he smiled strangely, and said in a strange tone: "Young Master Sheng, you have to be careful about what you say. This matter is a certainty and cannot be changed."
Sheng Zipei bit his lower lip tightly to restrain himself from rushing forward to punch him.
After a series of charges were charged, Sheng Zipei sat in the lobby in vain, his mind was in chaos, and a clear idea suddenly emerged - what should Xiao Qi do if something happens to the eldest prince? !
Sheng Zipei panicked, turned around and was about to run into the palace.
But he was stopped at the door of the house.
Sheng Changfeng looked at the eldest son with complicated emotions: "What are you going to do?"
Sheng Zipei's eyes were red: "Xiao Qi..."
"The Seventh Prince knelt outside the Imperial Study Room, wanting to beg for mercy for the First Prince." Sheng Changfeng said coldly, "I was punished by the Holy Majesty and imprisoned for half a year."
Sheng Zipei's heart sank.
"Among all the princes, only the Seventh Prince is the most favored by the Holy One, but in this matter, even he can't be touched, do you understand?" Sheng Changfeng said earnestly.
clear.
How can you not understand?
The eldest prince is a signal. In the future, the Sheng family and the former eldest prince's party will not be able to escape.
Sheng Zipei's lips were trembling, and there were countless confusions and perplexities in his heart, with nowhere to release and no answer.
But in the end, he just said with a blank face: "I just, just want to see Xiaoqi."
Sheng Changfeng's eyes suddenly turned a little bleak when he looked at him.
……
Against the background of the eldest prince's treason, it seemed that something happened to the Sheng family so naturally.
There are 160 people in the main and collateral lines of the Sheng family, all of whom have been sent to prison.
On the day the house was ransacked, Sheng Zipei stood under the eaves in a daze, watching those antique vases shattered to the ground, and saw his father's collection of calligraphy and paintings thrown on the ground, stained with dirty footprints.
In a daze, he remembered the path of the First Prince.
barracks.
Sheng Zipei's eyes became clear in an instant, he ran out, knelt down to the case-handling officer of Dali Temple, and said, "Sinful Minister Sheng Zipei...I have something to explain."
A fold request to enter the camp was sent to the emperor's desk.
The contacts accumulated by the Sheng family over the years finally came in handy at this time. No one knew what happened in the study that day, but in the end, Mr. Sheng's sentence was changed from asking to be executed after autumn to exile for thousands of miles.
And three days later, Sheng Zi Pei, who was dismissed from all official positions, went into the barracks lightly and became a little centurion.
When Sheng Zipei left the capital, he looked back.
All the carved beams and painted buildings, red walls and yellow tiles, none of them fell into his eyes.
Sheng Zipei's last thought was only one - think about it carefully, it seems that he really hasn't seen Xiao Qi for a long time.
Life in the barracks wasn't that hard, it was just boring.
On average, Xiao Qi would send him a letter every two months, but because he was afraid of being found out, he only had a sentence or two at most, dozens of words each time, and it disappeared after a glance.
Sheng Zipei had no other choice but to save up the letters and read them several times when he had nothing to do.
After reading a lot, he could still see a trace or two of affection from the dry words.
The army was boring, and Sheng Zipei could only rely on these comforts to get by.
……
After he stayed in the army for a few years and accumulated some military merits, Sheng Zipei finally changed from a centurion to a lieutenant general.
At this time, Xiao Qi's reputation in the court gradually became more and more prominent, and he finally showed his edge.
On that day, the border was unstable, so Sheng Zipei asked to lead his troops to attack. As a result, the time and place were right, and he directly copied the Huns' hometown, which made another great contribution.
On the way back, Sheng Zipei was riding on a horse, carrying heavy armor, his eyelashes trembling with frost, and he couldn't help but feel a little happy - this time, he finally got a promotion again.
If you get promoted, you can give Xiao Qi a little more help.
However, Sheng Zipei's smile hadn't really reached his eyes when an urgent message suddenly arrived——
"The land of exile is bitter and cold, and the sinners are blown by the wind, beaten."
His hot heart froze instantly.
Sheng Zipei shuddered, and spit out a mouthful of blood on the letter.
Winter is fading away.
Because of Sheng Changfeng's matter, the emperor finally pulled out a little conscience in the corner, and issued a decree of kindness, conferring on Sheng Zipei as a mighty general.
There were songs and dances in the barracks to congratulate the new general on his assumption of office.
Sheng Zipei laughed loudly, and took all the drinks that came to him. Not long after, he became drunk and confused.
Dimly, he seemed to see the former Sheng Mansion, and saw Sheng Changfeng who was still in good health, chasing him with a ruler to beat him.
Sheng Zipei couldn't help laughing, smiled, but cried again.
Two lines of tears fell into the snow.
Sheng Zipei fell asleep on the spot, looked at the night sky, and said softly: "Xiao Qi, it seems that I only have you."
……
On the first day of spring, the old emperor, who had been suffering from illness for several years, finally failed to survive this winter.
The original seven princes died and fell ill. Everyone looked around and saw that the only one left who could inherit the throne was the youngest seven princes.
The new emperor ascended the throne and pardoned the world.
When the letter from Jingzhong came, Sheng Zipei laughed three times in the camp, drank a whole jar of wine happily, and then went out and said to the lieutenants: "Brothers, you can go home!"
There was an instant burst of cheers in the barracks.
The spring breeze was proud of the horseshoe, and Sheng Zipei hurried back to the capital, riding a tall horse in the city, but his heart was in a mess.
Then, when he saw the sedan chair in front of him, Sheng Zipei's mind suddenly went blank.
Lifting up the curtain with thin hands, the new emperor looked at him gently with black and white eyes through a layer of curtain.
Sheng Zipei was stunned for a long time, and finally got off his horse in a "swipe", knelt down on the ground sincerely, and said, "I pay my respects to the emperor."
Xinhuang's hands rested firmly on Sheng Zipei's wrists.
Xiaoqi was silent for a long time, finally let out a sigh of relief, and sighed softly: "It's good to be back."
Sheng Zipei's forehead pressed against the back of his hand, and he couldn't help crying silently.
After staying in Beijing for half a year, Sheng Zipei gradually felt that Xiaoqi was different from before, but he didn't care too much about it.
——They are all emperors, how can there be no change?
Sheng Ze thought.
Sheng Zipei could think about it by himself, but his lieutenants couldn't hold back anymore.
"General, let me tell you something you don't like to hear, the one above... I'm afraid he is a little wary of us." The lieutenants couldn't help but said.
Sheng Zipei smiled.
"Just guard against it. My life is his. Whatever you want, just take it away." Sheng Zipei grinned and drank a big gulp of spirits.
The lieutenants were all rough men, and they didn't think there was anything wrong when they heard it. Instead, they agreed with each other: "The general is really free and easy! Also, we are loyal to the emperor, and we can even give our lives. What else should we worry about?"
Sheng Zipei was sour: ...
He wanted to say, no, I am different from you!
Ordinary people like you simply cannot understand my hard thinking and admiration for him!
However, Sheng Zipei dared not say this.
Xiao Qi didn't dare to say it when he was just a prince, but he couldn't say it when he became an emperor.
Therefore, Sheng Zipei decided to just guard him well, and that would be fine.
however……
From the next year onwards, he has been on the battlefield all the time and has not returned to Beijing for five years.
Sheng Zipei: ...
Don't talk about guarding, now I can't even see it! ! !
After finally pacifying the frontier, Sheng Zipei returned to Beijing, and before his butt was hot, Xiao Qi wanted to send him out again to find Lao Shizi's Yao Wang Zhu.
Sheng Zipei sat in the imperial study room like a fool, looking at a certain emperor resentfully, refusing to move.
Xiao Qi seemed to guess what he was thinking, and ignored him, concentrating on reviewing the notes.
Sheng Zipei was even angrier.
Xiao Qi didn't care about him, and let him eat three big bowls of snacks as if venting his anger, and finally couldn't hold back, turned his head to the side, covered the corner of his mouth and smiled.
Sheng Zipei's heart softened all of a sudden.
"Pharmaceutical King Pearl or something, just look for it." Sheng Zipei said angrily, "But after I come back, you can't drive me away again."
Xiao Qi looked at him, unable to hide the shallow smile in his eyes.
He readily responded, "Okay."
So, Sheng Zipei left.
Three months later, Xiaoqi died of illness.
Sheng Zipei held the Yaowang Pearl and watched the whole country mourn together with a dazed expression.
He hadn't had time to get angry, and he hadn't even had time to see what the newly enthroned emperor looked like. After a will was issued, he was directly sent to guard the imperial mausoleum.
The lieutenants looked at him with sympathy and fear at the same time. After holding back for a long time, they dared to mutter in a low voice: "Is the emperor cheating you..."
Sheng Zipei: ...
of course!Absolutely!
But, people are dead, and he can't even bear to scold him.
At last.
Sheng Zipei numbly went to guard the imperial tomb——
In the first year after Xiaoqi's death, Sheng Zipei just dawdled around in there, and basically didn't have any memory of him.
In the third year after Xiaoqi's death, Sheng Zipei came back to his senses and began to scold Xiaoqi for three meals a day, crying while scolding.
In the fifth year after Xiao Qi's death, Sheng Zi Pei completely regained his blood, and during his long career of guarding the spirit, he developed the skills of a playwright, and began to have sex with Xiao Qi's coffin...
"Oh, I folded this flower for you. Bright yellow suits you best."
"Let me tell you, the food delivered today is quite delicious, what? You want to eat it too? Then you have to call brother, otherwise I won't eat it for you."
"It's just the two of us here, do you think this counts as staying together?"
Sheng Zipei could talk about it all day long by himself.
The First Prince Gu Qing who witnessed how General Sheng went crazy: ...
"You seem to be doing well?"
Finally one day, Lu Qing couldn't help showing up.
Sheng Zipei didn't realize it for a while, and replied directly: "I figured it out. If I'm alive, I won't be able to be with him in my life; if I'm dead, I can actually own his whole person? Thinking about it this way." , I'm really happy..."
Gu Qing: ...
Do you think about this every day when you look at the corpse?
"...Damn, First Prince!" Sheng Zipei suddenly realized.
Gu Qing sarcastically said with a half-smile: "Yo, do you still remember?"
Sheng Zipei was shocked: "Aren't you dead?! Wait, you're not dead? Then all my paper money was burned?"
Gu Qing: ...
"First of all, I'm dead." Gu Qing was expressionless, looking at him as if he was looking at a mentally retarded person, "Secondly, you only burned me for one year."
Sheng Zipei coughed dryly: "It's fine if you want it. By the way, if you die, then Xiao Qi..."
Lu Qing was silent for a while, then said: "Xiaoqi is going to reincarnate soon."
Sheng Zipei was stunned for a moment, with a dazed expression on his face: "Oh, um, it's good to be reincarnated, it's good to be able to reincarnate..."
"Zi Pei." Gu Qing called out.
Sheng Zipei raised his head in a daze.
Gu Qing seemed to be unable to bear it, but after a while, he hardened his heart and said, "I have something to ask you."
Sheng Zi Pei shivered and refused: "Don't. You asked me to take care of Xiaoqi last time, and after that, you died and the Sheng family was finished. I'm afraid I can't bear it if you ask me again this time." ..."
Gu Qing held back his temper and smiled, gritted his teeth and said: "It's about Xiao Qi."
Sheng Zipei immediately became serious: "Say it."
"During Xiaoqi's reign, he fought for many years..." Gu Qing hesitated, and sighed, "Although he has made great achievements in governance, the years of fighting have caused countless deaths and injuries to the people on both sides. They all suffered greatly from it. Therefore, Xiaoqi's moral conduct has been demeritful and his sins are serious in this life, and he needs to make atonement for this. If not, in the next ten lives, he will either fall into the realm of an animal or the realm of evil people."
Sheng Zi Pei immediately became angry: "The Huns invaded first, can this also be blamed on him?"
Lu Qing had a sullen face, but there was nothing he could do.
"Even so, I fought the battle, and I should be blamed." Sheng Zipei was indignant.
Lu Qing smiled, nodded and said, "Coincidentally, I thought so too."
Sheng Zipei: ...
Gu Qing: "If you want, Xiao Qi's crimes will be borne by you."
Of course Sheng Zipei was very willing and nodded immediately.
Gu Qing said solemnly: "Actually, it happened to coincide with the period of turmoil in the underworld that made Xiaoqi bear these sins. Now, the evil ghosts are rampant in the underworld, and the good ghosts are tortured instead. If you want, you can accept the ghost king's order." This crime will be paid for by clearing the underworld."
Sheng Zipei looked at him, nodded and said, "Okay."
——Evil ghosts are not obedient, just beat them until they are obedient.
This he will.
Lu Qing softened his eyebrows and said, "Thank you."
Sheng Zipei smiled happily: "For Xiaoqi, I am willing. But, did you lose to me this time? I am Brother Zipei who can solve his problems even after death..."
Gu Qing's face turned cold instantly, and he sneered: "How do you know that I didn't take care of him?"
Sheng Zipei looked blankly: "Huh?"
"I've already taken half of the burden for him, if it wasn't for the other half, I really can't solve it, otherwise how could it be your turn?" Lu Qing said with a disgusted face.
Sheng Zipei: ...
When he was alive, the Eldest Prince was quite unpleasant, but after his death, he would be even more annoying!
Gu Qing made a way out, he was too lazy to talk, and urged: "Let's go."
Sheng Zipei frowned, looked at his back, and asked, "I'm the king of ghosts, what about you? What are you doing?"
Gu Qing's indifferent voice sounded: "Assuming the post of King of Hades, rebuilding the order of the underworld, and not leaving the underworld for 700 years."
Sheng Zipei: ...
unhappy!
It sounds more powerful than his official position!
It seems that it has been compared again!
Lu Qing: "That's right, since he's dead, why not give him a new name in the future."
Sheng Zi Pei was dying and said, "Oh, what about you?"
Gu Qing: "I'll change my surname to Gu, and the single name should be Qing."
Sheng Zipei thought for a while, and said, "I won't change my surname, but I'll take a single character for my first name too?"
Gu Qing murmured: "It's okay. The ghost king is in charge of law enforcement in the underworld, why not call you Sheng Fa."
Sheng Zipei: "...so ugly!"
"Forget it, why don't I call it Ze?" Sheng Zi Pei said flatteredly, "Sheng Ze, Sheng Ze, sounds nice. And Xiao Qi always said that Ze is famous in the world..."
Lu Qing pursed his lips in disgust: "Then why aren't you called Sheng Tianxia?"
Sheng Ze: "...Sheng Tianxia sounds silly!"
The two walked side by side, the candlelight in the imperial mausoleum gradually faded, the figures of the two faded away, and gradually drifted away...
The author has something to say: Ah, I’m writing a knife, so excited! ! !
For Sheng Ze, it was actually a hard-fought story of a secret love in his lifetime.
To this - Gu Qing protested, Su Ling expressed dissatisfaction.
They said: The story is not like this at all! ! !
What are the facts? Let’s see the breakdown in the next chapter...
