Chapter 48 The most miserable prime minister

Somewhere in the courtyard of an ancient house.

Huang Xikong sat on a chair and looked down at his stomach.

That kid has a little bit of strength.

He was in a daze. The woman sitting on the chair beside her had beautiful eyes and a dignified demeanor: "What's wrong with you?"

Huang Xikong shook his head, and said flatly, "Someone is here to save you."

The woman was stunned for a few seconds: "You didn't do anything to those people, did you?"

Huang Xikong raised his eyes and looked at her quietly, until the woman frowned slightly, and then said: "You and my wife are really different."

If it was his wife, he would definitely worry about his health first, not the safety of others.

Meng Zhizhen said calmly, "I'm not her, how could it be the same?"

Huang Xikong smiled self-deprecatingly: "That's true."

His wife is gentle and virtuous, and his childhood sweetheart, childhood sweetheart, was once the enviable couple in Jinghua City.

Outsiders call his wife Mrs. Liu, and her single name is Xiangqiao.

She was also a famous talented woman back then.

Seeing his nostalgic and melancholy face, Meng Zhizhen couldn't help saying, "Although I'm not her, you might as well tell me the story of you and your wife."

Huang Xikong got up and walked to the shelf, and pulled out a scroll from the shelf: "This is the portrait of my wife."

Meng Zhizhen took the scroll and unfolded it slowly. Looking at the smiling woman in the painting, she not only praised: "Your wife is a very beautiful woman."

"You said you were a historian, how did you write about me in the history books?" Huang Xikong turned around and asked.

Meng Zhizhen rolled up the scroll slowly, only smiled and said: "There are mixed reviews."

Huang Xikong raised his head slightly, not only sneered: "I thought it would be a bad smell for thousands of years."

"Since you want to hear the story of me and my wife, I might as well tell you more. After all, I am the only one who remembers her."

Huang Xikong touched the wooden box on the shelf with downcast eyes, and said slowly: "Her name is Liu Xiangqiao. She grew up with my childhood sweetheart and married me at the age of 16. When I was 20 years old, my tenure in Beizhou expired. After being transferred back to Jinghua City, the late emperor was a wise ruler who cherished talents very much, even though I was young, he still stood up to all opinions and relied heavily on me."

Meng Zhizhen listened carefully. She had studied history and archeology for many years, and this was the first time she heard me tell history.

If he could go back, the mysterious Jin Dynasty would be able to lift the veil again in front of the world.

Huang Xikong raised his head slightly, rather high-spirited: "I became a prime minister at the age of 26, standing at the pinnacle of my life."

Meng Zhizhen lowered her head and pondered, "After that, Emperor Hui passed away?"

"Yes." Huang Xikong nodded, and sighed softly, "The kindness that the late emperor treated me was as great as a mountain. He had five sons under his knees, and later he chose Chen Zhenxi to succeed him."

"Chen Zhenxi is the later Emperor Xu?" Meng Zhizhen knew this history.

Chen Zhenxi has left his name in the history books for his debauchery, tyranny and injustice.

He is one of the most famous emperors in the Jin Dynasty, and he is also fond of men's sex most talked about by later generations.

In the unofficial history of more than a hundred years later, there were rumors that the Emperor Xu died of syphilis.

It is recorded in the official history that Emperor Xu of Jin died of a serious disease, which was described as a malignant sore in the history books.

However, according to textual research from various historical books, it is very likely that Emperor Jinxu died of syphilis.

When Huang Xikong mentioned Chen Zhenxi, the yin energy in his body couldn't stop rolling, and Meng Zhizhen had to retreat.

"Chen Zhenxi is the fifth son of the late emperor. Before he succeeded to the throne, he was respectful and filial to the late emperor and made great achievements in government affairs. Therefore, many people in the court supported Chen Zhenxi. Among the other four sons, the prince was cowardly and incompetent by nature, and his ears were too soft. , it is very easy to listen to partial beliefs. After more than ten years in the East Palace, he was attracted by the Crown Princess's mother's family, which has angered the late emperor several times. The other few people also have difficulty in getting into the eyes of the late emperor, so they do not stand out, but they are okay in all aspects. Chen Zhenxi became the best candidate for the throne. Before his death, the late emperor deposed the East Palace Prince and passed the throne to Chen Zhenxi." "However, after Chen Zhenxi succeeded to the throne, he changed his previous humble and cautious attitude, becoming arrogant, extravagant and tyrannical."

"Just because of my face, he forcibly forced me into the palace. Although I'm the prime minister, but..."

Huang Xikong didn't say any more, but Meng Zhizhen knew it very well.

He became Emperor Xu's male favorite, and was even made absurdly a male concubine.

"Emperor Xu knew that I missed my wife and daughter, so he privately sent someone to lock my wife and daughter in the house and burn them to ashes."

Meng Zhizhen looked at him in shock, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Although the history books have long recorded that Emperor Jinxu was brutal, but she never expected that it would only be so inhumane.

Huang Xikong bowed his head and said: "After my wife and daughter died, I completely entered the harem, curry favor with him every day, and wanted to find a chance to kill him."

"But it failed." Huang Xikong's voice was full of hatred, and he crushed the wooden box under his hands.

Meng Zhizhen looked at Huang Xikong with sympathy in his eyes. Huang Xikong died of dove poison. After his death, his body was sealed in mercury, and was buried in a tomb in Jinxu Emperor's underground palace as a funeral object by Emperor Jinxu.

However, the underground palace of Emperor Jinxu has not been fully excavated because it is too big.

They excavated this time only because tomb robbers dug a hole and stole the funerary objects in Huang Xikong's tomb, so the higher-ups issued an order to protect the excavated area first.

Meng Zhizhen in Huangxi Space showed pity, and said lightly: "You don't have to sympathize with me."

Especially since Meng Zhizhen had the same face as his wife, he didn't want to see that expression on her face.

"After you die, why don't you reincarnate?" Meng Zhizhen is not afraid of him now.

Huang Xikong shook his head: "I can't go, Emperor Xu sealed my body in the coffin, and ordered the celestial master to engrave a soul-suppressing rune in the coffin, and reinforced the seal in the tomb. After my death, my soul will be sealed in the body. After a long period of time, he was haunted by hostility, and after he turned into a ghost overnight, he fell into a deep sleep for some reason."

"Come to save your child, and say that I have merit to maintain my sanity. Maybe it is true, and it is this merit that made me fall asleep after turning into a ghost, and I didn't have time to commit murder until you dug the tomb , the seal in the tomb was destroyed, and the coffin was moved out of the underground palace, so I gradually woke up..."

It's just that he didn't expect that when he woke up, he saw Meng Zhizhen who looked exactly like his wife.

So Meng Zhizhen's soul was taken away. As for the souls of the other people, it was the slaves who were buried with him because they were upset that their sleep was disturbed, so they got angry and took the leaders back to the ghosts.

"Here comes your rescuer." Huang Xikong stood at the door, looked back at Meng Zhizhen and said, "You and my wife really look alike."

Maybe even her reincarnation.

But the way she looks at herself now is no longer what it used to be.

To her, he was just a ghost who had never met and brought her here.

……

There were chaotic footsteps outside the door, Huang Xikong opened the door with a wave of his sleeves, stood at the door and fixedly looked at the two old men in the yard, narrowing his eyes slightly.

Had a fight.

The strength is not very good, not even that child.

"Get out, let that kid come." Huang Xikong said in a cold voice.

Pu Yuzhou and Long Xiangtao, who managed to walk over with great difficulty, suddenly fell down in anger, their eyebrows and beard trembling.

Who does this ghost look down on?

The two looked at each other with a clear meaning in their eyes: "Fuck him!"
