Chapter 105: Morning and Evening Liu Ten Years Old
Back at Prince Jing's mansion, Tong Yan took out the old book as usual and read it all, and then began to review what happened today.
If Mr. Mo was not here today, Zhuo Rusui would definitely join forces with the guard behind the tree to kill him.
Even though he had already made arrangements, the crossbow arrows on the cruise ship were amazingly powerful, I was afraid that they would not be able to stop the other party.
Jing Jiu really had a murderous intention to kill himself? Is it because of what he said?
In the summer, something big happened in the capital of Chu State.
A tall man was patrolling in front of the palace in the early morning. The imperial guards felt something was wrong and went to interrogate. The man took out a wooden stick and waved it around and tried to escape. He was caught in the end and found that the man was actually wearing a sharp blade and intending to break into the palace to kill the monarch. Officials from the Ministry of Justice used severe torture during the interrogation, but the man always gritted his teeth. In addition to saying that he wanted to kill the foolish monarch, he refused to say more, and he refused to explain to the envoy behind the scenes.
In the end, the man was recognized as a captain from Lanyu Pass and had been a personal soldier under General Pei's command.
General Pei was a famous general of Chu State. He was only famous under King Jing. He was stationed on the Chu-Zhao border for many years and fought against the Zhao army, making great contributions to the state.
But what is more widely known is that General Pei is a close confidant of Grand Secretary Zhang.
Countless eyes turned to the Bachelor's Mansion, and the Ministry of Justice naturally did not dare to force it too quickly. The capital fell into a strange silence.
At this moment, the man suddenly committed suicide in prison.
For a time, those who were truly righteous, those who were good at taking advantage of the government situation, and those who were extremely ambitious all jumped out. Countless memorials were sent to the inner court like snowflakes, and drums outside the Dali Temple were ringed every day. Some people even secretly entered the palace to meet the emperor at night, and no one knew what they said.
Of course, behind this incident was the promotion of Prince Jing and his son, but more importantly, the new policy of the Grand Secretary damaged the interests of many nobles. The Regent was too long, but he was still unwilling to go further. It seemed that people saw some weaknesses, which naturally made people feel a lot of snooping. Various reasons led to the attack on the Grand Secretary quickly turning into a storm, and the entire Kyoto was in turmoil. Unless the Grand Secretary used tough measures, the situation would be difficult to calm down.
But if the Grand Secretary uses tough measures, who knows what kind of turmoil will bring?
At the most tense moment, His Majesty the Emperor, who had never been to court since he ascended the throne... suddenly appeared at the court meeting and appeared in front of all the ministers.
The opposition officials were overjoyed and thought that His Majesty had finally come to his senses and wanted to take advantage of the current storm to attack the Grand Secretary.
No one expected that His Majesty the Emperor would leave just one sentence.
"The Grand Secretary is very good at doing things, don't mess around."
...
...
The situation in the court, the backwardness of the people, the political storm... Just like a real storm, it is a very complex thing. Regardless of the cause, process or result, it often makes people feel unreasonable in hindsight. The emperor only has the name of a fool and an idiot. The sentence he said has no beginning or end. It should not have much influence according to reason, but for some mysterious reasons, it may also be because of the means of the Grand Secretary. Because of this sentence, the storm that had covered Kyoto for dozens of days disappeared quietly.
Then he naturally fought back. With this incident, the Grand Secretary cleared the court and prefectures again, and pulled out all the old foxes who had been hiding for many years. No one could affect his status again.
Tongyan knew why Jing Jiu did this, but she really couldn't understand it. Isn't he really afraid that the Grand Secretary would usurp the throne?
So many people want to kill you, including me, and even your nephew. How can you survive without the title of emperor?
...
...
Liu Shisui's parents in this world are servants of a certain sect.
What he saw was the flying sword.
He started to learn swords when he could walk, and from then on he did nothing, and he focused on learning swords.
By the age of fourteen, he was already the strongest in the sect of cultivation and the youngest elder in the history of that sect.
Naturally, his parents no longer have to be chores.
Then he went down the mountain to join an assassin organization and confirmed that the young master was in the Chu Palace.
Then there is the bloody story of morning light and water delivery truck.
It has been eighteen years since he came here. In addition to learning swords in his sect, he also worked as a guard in the palace. This is the first time he has gone far away.
He was in a hurry to return to the palace, but the scenery was just outside the window and could always be seen.
The green mountains and clear waters are really nice, and he often sees a little dazzled. Moreover, it is always easy to encounter things on the road, such as horse thieves who stop cars and scared horses who hurt people. So he killed a few people and saved a few more people. The feeling was a little familiar, which made the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
When he returned to the capital of Chu, he suddenly felt that the city was a little unfamiliar. When he entered the palace, he felt that he had never seen these buildings before, but the red walls and yellow tiles looked familiar.
Walking into the hall, coming to the window, looking at Jing Jiu who was tilted on the couch, he opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.
Jing Jiu glanced at him and said, "Say."
Liu Shisui scratched her head and said, "I think my memory seems to be getting worse and worse."
Jing Jiu asked: "How fast is it going to be bad?"
Liu Shisui opened her eyes wide and looked at him and said, "Who are you?"
Jing Jiu laughed, looked into his eyes and asked, "Who do you think I am?"
Liu Shisui thought about it seriously for a long time, shook her head and said, "...I can't remember, I just vaguely remember that you are very nice to me, and I want to protect you."
He is very smart and is also a very simple person. He is not wary of the illusion and is not prepared for it.
He was not affected before because he had always had something to do in his heart and remembered to come to Jing Jiu.
Now that he has found Jing Jiu, he no longer has to worry, and is gradually integrated into this world by the scenery outside the palace, and naturally begins to forget the past.
Jing Jiu knew why this was, and knew there would be no major problems, but he didn't know what he would do next.
Liu Shisui patted his shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, I won't leave you alone."
Jing Jiu raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
Liu Shisai walked out of the hall and stared at the surroundings vigilantly, just like in the past three years.
...
...
Twenty years of asking.
The world is settled.
Chaos are about to begin.
All rebellions in Qin State were put down, and severe punishments and strict laws and rewards and punishments were clear, and the country's power gradually became stronger.
However, no one has ever seen the imprisoned princess ever again, and many people suspect that she is dead.
After that famous foolish monarch, Zhao State finally ushered in an excellent emperor.
The young emperor was extremely excellent in governing the country. He refused to give in to the strong Qin and advanced step by step toward the Great Qi. The only thing that was worrying was that his health was never very good.
Qi State had a vast territory, a large population, a developed business, and a wealthy people. It was just because the officials in the court were powerless and were always in the shadow of Zhao State.
Especially that Eunuch He, who was too cool in his methods and too ruthless in exploitation, even the most generous businessman was unwilling to bear it anymore.
Those giant traders bought many assassins to try to kill him, but failed.
The Luo Kingdom was destroyed and was forgotten at an extremely fast speed. Most of it returned to Qin, while the rest were divided by Zhao and Prince Jing of Chu.
The State of Chu is somewhat similar to the State of Qi. The people are proud of their extravagant life. The people are gentle and have no foresight and ambitions.
It was not until these years after Grand Secretary Zhang was in power that the State of Chu felt like a prosperous country.
The problem is that the seemingly prosperous and powerful Chu State always has two fatal hidden worries that cannot be escaped.
Two hidden worries are one mind - the heart of an unofficial person.
It seems that Mr. Zhang’s unjust intention was indeed well controlled by him in recent years, but Prince Jing, who was far away in Cangzhou, held tens of thousands of cavalry and was included in the old territory of Luo State, his ruling territory had exceeded one-third of that of Chu State. Who will control his unjust intention?
In late autumn, the Emperor of Chu suddenly issued an imperial edict, alarming everyone.
Every word of the emperor is an imperial edict. Logically speaking, this is a very common thing. The problem is that the Emperor of Chu in this term is said to be an idiot and rarely speaks.
As for the appointment and removal of officials, the imperial edicts that must be issued during the New Year Festival sacrifices were said to be drafted by the cabinet ministers and then the seal was covered by Mr. Zhang.
Why did the emperor suddenly issue an order in person?
What is even more surprising is the content of the imperial edict.
Your Majesty ordered Prince Jing to enter the capital.
