Dressed as the Queen Mother to grasp the script of a strong country

Chapter 64: Death is inherent in all human beings, and it may be heavier than Mount Tai or lighter t

In the dark prison, several torches beside the wall gave off a weak light. They were fragile, as if the torches would be blown out by the wind in the next moment. Several prisoners' wails could be heard from time to time in the cell, which seemed particularly scary in this dark cell.

The sound of footsteps came from far away and came closer.

Each step was particularly jarring in the darkened cell.

Against the background of the torch, the owner of the footsteps is an official.

The officer walked slowly, stopped in front of a cell door, and opened the door.

The cell was dark, surrounded by walls and only had one window, which shone with light, like a beacon in the darkness.

Through the light, you can see the black blood stains on the wall, the uneven ground, and the straw-covered floor near the window. Occasionally, there are a few mice and cockroaches crawling across.

There are prisoners sitting on the straw. The people sitting on the straw don't care at all about the passing of rats and cockroaches. They are accustomed to all this.

When the official came in, he saw several prisoners sitting in the cell. When they saw the official, they consciously shrank into the corner and tried to minimize their presence.

Only one person did not move when he saw the official coming.

The man was motionless.

His hair was as messy as a chicken coop.

His face couldn't be seen clearly at all. His face was dirty and his hands were black.

His eyes were particularly calm under the bright light.

The officer noticed the man who had not moved.

But thinking that he still had things to do, he didn't teach that person a lesson.

"Zheng Boying? That's Zheng Boying." The official said loudly.

When the officer saw no one answered, he repeated his question.

"My lord, this is Zheng Baiying."

The officer heard the voice coming from the man who had not moved.

Then he walked in and asked, "You are Zheng Boying."

"This is Zheng Boying."

The officer thought to himself that he had been found.

Then he said: "Let's go."

Zheng Baiying was dragged up by the official officer.

Follow the officer's footsteps and leave the cell.

"You don't want to ask me where I am taking you?" the officer asked.

"It can't be worse than the current situation. What's there to ask?" Zheng Boying replied.

When the officer heard Zheng Boying's words, he smiled with unknown meaning.

Soon Zheng Boying was taken to a room.

In the room was a eunuch, sitting upright in the middle.

When the officer saw the eunuch, he bowed respectfully.

"My father-in-law brought it to me."

"I came today to announce the decree." The eunuch said.

"Declaration? Are you here to announce when the sentence will be executed?" Zheng Boying thought in her heart when she heard it.

When the official saw that Zheng Boying was not moving, he said, "You still don't kneel down."

When Zheng Baiying heard the officer's words, she felt a pain in her knees, and then she knelt on the ground uncontrollably.

The officer smiled flatteringly at the eunuch.

The eunuch smiled kindly at the official.

"Quite sensible, not bad."

"Thank you for the compliment, father-in-law."

Zheng Baiying felt very insulted.

But this insult was not the first time.

Zheng Baiying thought in her heart that this time the decree might be to announce her death date, and she would finally die.

Zheng Boying chose to accept her ending calmly.

"Zheng Baiying accepted the order. I was merciful and decided to spare Zheng Baiying's life. However, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped. Therefore, Zheng Baiying was sentenced to palace punishment. I specially gave her the name Zheng Qi."

"Eunuch, Zheng Qi." Zheng Baiying stared blankly at the person in front of her who was announcing the decree.

"Zheng Qi, come with me." The eunuch said.

I saw the official came forward and brought the torture tools for Zheng Boying.

Just like that, Zheng Boying left this dark prison.

Royal Academy.

A group of noble ladies were discussing Prime Minister Zheng's rebellion.

"Did you see the imperial list that was just posted?"

"The Zheng family rebelled, and the emperor killed everyone but spared Zheng Boying's life."

"Then he is not the only living male of the Zheng family?"

"Yes."

"The Emperor is merciful."

"The emperor seems to have given him a name and a punishment."

"Zheng Qi, my name is Zheng Qi."

Liu Xingzhu, who has been living in the Royal Academy, heard their discussion.

Liu Xingzhu thought in his heart.

Zheng Baiying, the Zheng family was destroyed, and Zheng Baiying should also die.

This era is really terrible.

What eunuch - Zheng Qi.

"Zheng Qi." Liu Xingzhu said loudly in surprise.

It attracted the attention of everyone who was talking.

"Is there anything strange about Eunuch Zheng Qi?" Everyone asked in confusion.

Seeing everyone looking towards him, Liu Xingzhu returned to normal.

Said: "Nothing, nothing."

After saying that, Liu Xingzhu hurriedly walked out of the house and entered the palace.

Eunuch - Zheng Qi.

Zheng Qi is Zheng Boying, and Zheng Boying is Zheng Qi.

Is Zheng Qi the historical Zheng Qi?

Could it be that Zheng Qi is actually from this era?

Zheng Qi in history was convicted of rebellion because of his father.

It's just that he, who was supposed to die, somehow became a eunuch.

Historians also discuss why he was not killed by the emperor.

At that time, Liu Xingzhu was attracted by this title on the Internet.

Liu Xingzhu did not expect to meet Zheng Qi in history.

As for why Liu Xingzhu reacted so strongly to Zheng Qi.

That's because as a student of the shipbuilding department, basically everyone doesn't know Zheng Qi's name.

Just like those who study law know Rousseau, those who study biology know Darwin, those who study Chinese understand Li Bai, and those who study philosophy know Marx.

Can fans not be excited when they meet their idols?

Zheng Boying is Zheng Qi.

Liu Xingzhu never expected to see Zheng Qi here.

But why didn't he show any interest in ships when I met him?

Could it be that he hadn't risen when Liu Xingzhu met him?

At this time, Liu Xingzhu was so excited that he couldn't speak.

Business is Liu Xingzhu's means of livelihood in this era, but it is not an ideal.

The appearance of Zheng Qi gave Liu Xingzhu a different feeling in his heart.

Liu Xingzhu couldn't wait to see Zheng Qi.

I want to record Zheng Qi’s life journey.

I want to follow figures like Daniel and contribute to the steamship industry.

Finally, with Liu Xingzhu's efforts, he came to where Zheng Boying was.

Liu Xingzhu had already changed into a man's attire and sneaked into the place where Zheng Baiying was staying.

The place where Zheng Baiying is located is a place where eunuchs are born.

Many of them have left the palace, but they have no money to enter the palace and have to stay here until one day they can be selected by the eunuchs in the palace to enter the palace.

They usually do some miscellaneous things here and help the eunuchs in the palace.

At night, everyone sleeps in the same room.

Liu Xingzhu was wearing men's clothes.

Being led to a place of work.

Watching Zheng Baiying wearing a prison uniform and anklets on her feet, working hard.

Liu Xingzhu felt that Zheng Boying was too miserable.

Liu Xingzhu walked to Zheng Boying's side.

Help him work together.

Zheng Baiying looked up when she saw someone coming to help her.

I saw it was Liu Xingzhu.

He looked very surprised.

"Hello Zheng Qi, let's get to know each other again. I'm Liu Xingzhu."

Zheng Baiying looked at Liu Xingzhu who stretched out his hand and was very confused.

Liu Xingzhu took Zheng Boying's hand with his hand.

Liu Xingzhu smiled brightly.

Zheng Boying has not seen such a happy smile for a long time.

He couldn't help but become stunned after seeing Liu Xingzhu's smile.

night.

Liu Xingzhu did not leave.

Instead, he continued to follow Zheng Boying.

"Zheng Qi, do you know about ships? Did you know when Prime Minister Zheng rebelled? How did you feel at that time? Have you ever had any resentment?" Liu Xingzhu kept chattering.

Zheng Boying ignored him.

"No, no, I shouldn't ask like this." Liu Xingzhu said.

Zheng Boying didn't care about Liu Xingzhu's soliloquy.

Close your eyes and start to meditate.

"Zheng Qi, your ankle is bleeding."

Liu Xingzhu was about to take action.

Zheng Boying was frightened.

Just when Liu Xingzhu's hand was about to touch Zheng Boying's ankle, Zheng Boying quickly dodged.

Liu Xingzhu was obviously dissatisfied with Zheng Boying's avoidance.

But soon Liu Xingzhu didn't care much.

He fell asleep minding his own business.     In a dream.

Liu Xingzhu dreamed that he was back four hundred years in the future.

Watching the broadcast on TV.

Liu Xingzhu wrote a book about Zheng Qi's life and published it. This book describing Zheng Qi's life caused a sensation in the academic world.

Liu Xingzhu quickly became famous.

Liu Xingzhu smiled happily in his dream.

Zheng Baiying looked strangely at the person in front of her who could laugh so happily in her sleep, and was very puzzled.

After waking up, Liu Xingzhu was affected by the situation in his dream.

Liu Xingzhu thought, if he could really write down Zheng Qi's life, and when later generations find out, would it be able to make future generations remember Liu Xingzhu and let future generations understand Zheng Qi? Would this be considered doing what he is good at?

Liu Xingzhu finally made up his mind.

Zheng Qi dedicated his life to the shipbuilding industry. He spent his life constantly improving ships and sailing.

He also spent his later years on his last voyage.

At that time, he was still researching a ship technology on the ship.

But the shackles of life prevented him from completing the breakthrough in ship technology.

He finally left the world with regret.

Liu Xingzhu thought that if he helped Zheng Qi, he would be more at ease when he died.

It was night again, and Liu Xingzhu approached Zheng Boying with herbs for treating foot injuries.

Zheng Baiying looked very defensive.

"Here, apply the medicine yourself."

Liu Xingzhu handed the medicine to Zheng Baiying.

Zheng Baiying took it and began to apply it on herself.

Zheng Boying looked at what Liu Xingzhu was writing.

"I am a recorder of Zheng Qi. I don't want Zheng Qi's life to be just a few strokes in the history books. It is not comprehensive enough. No, no, it cannot be written like this." Liu Xingzhu crossed out.

Start writing on a piece of paper again.

"Zheng Qi's original name was Zheng Baiying. When I first met Zheng Baiying, he had not yet become a prisoner. He was a handsome young man and a bright pearl." Liu Xingzhu took a charcoal pen and wrote in words written 400 years later. On paper.

For several days, Zheng Boying looked at Liu Xingzhu, and when he saw her, he took out a pen and paper to write something.

“This is Zheng Qi’s first many days here, and his condition still looks very good.

Of course, there is a difference from the previous bright pearl. He has become more silent. I have tried to show my kindness to him several times, but he seems to be thousands of miles away, but it doesn't matter. I will still write about his life. "

"Zheng Qi is even more restless these days. After sleeping a few times, he will wake up because of nightmares. But it doesn't matter. I will comfort him after he is frightened by nightmares."

Zheng Baiying was frightened awake by a nightmare again, and Liu Xingzhu comforted him.

Wait until Zheng Boying calms down.

Liu Xingzhu looked around and saw that everyone was already sleeping.

Liu Xingzhu quietly asked Zheng Boying: "Zheng Boying, what do you think of the fact that you rebelled against Prime Minister Zheng and the emperor copied everyone?"

Zheng Boying's eyes widened.

Liu Xingzhu was also frightened by his surprise.

Liu Xingzhu thought maybe he shouldn't ask this question.

But maybe Zheng Boying wanted to express his inner emotions, so he actually started to talk about his feelings.

Liu Xingzhu recorded quickly.

"That day, I stayed in the mansion to review my lessons as usual. The imperial examination was about to take place. I wanted to perform better in the imperial examination, because my exams were not good enough. I wanted to do better and better. But suddenly I heard a commotion.

I walked out of the room, and then I saw the Ninth Prince and Jin Yiwei Xiao Yuan.

They talked to my father, who was shot dead on the spot before I could react.

My mind is empty and I don't know what's wrong.

Then Liu Ruhui, Zhang Zheng and others were pushed away.

Looking at the fire in Zheng Mansion, I knew that Zheng Mansion had collapsed.

The three of us were very anxious in prison.

After that, Liu Ruhui and Zhang Zheng were taken away, and I was the only one left in the cell.

Liu Ruhui said he would come to save me.

Then I never saw him again.

I heard the official say that Prime Minister Zheng was plotting rebellion and that none of the men in the Zheng family would survive.

I knew I was going to die.

I knew that my father had rebelled, but I didn’t understand why one person had to implicate others when he made a mistake. From this day on, I knew that I would never have anything to do with the original high-spirited Zheng Baiying.

Later I was taken to a house and told that I would survive, but..."

Zheng Baiying looked very sad. He closed his eyes, leaned his head on the pillar behind him, and shed tears unnoticeably.

"everything will get better."

Liu Xingzhu was a little infected by his pain, and Liu Xingzhu was also a little sad.

But Liu Xingzhu still wrote down Zheng Boying's feelings.

For several days, Liu Xingzhu asked Zheng Boying if he had ever touched a ship, but he shook his head.

Liu Xingzhu knew that he was a genius. It turned out that he embarked on the road of ships after experiencing family changes.

Liu Xingzhu happily wrote down his conclusion.

Liu Xingzhu admired Zheng Boying more and more. He could create a knowledge from scratch. Liu Xingzhu regarded Zheng Boying more and more as a person he admired.

Liu Xingzhu felt that Zheng Boying was in too much pain. Although he knew that he would get through this pain, Liu Xingzhu still wanted to try his best to help him alleviate the pain.

Liu Xingzhu decided to give him his favorite flowers, hoping that beautiful things would heal his pain.

Liu Xingzhu could come in and out of this place freely, so she left.

But at this time, Liu Xingzhu didn't know that this day was Zheng Boying's unbearable day.

"Zheng Baiying." Many people wearing eunuch clothes came.

Zheng Baiying heard someone calling him.

He walked slowly.

They came to a house with a stone bed in the middle.

There are four ropes at the four corners of the bed.

"Mr. Zheng, should you go up there decently yourself, or should we help you?"

Zheng Boying chose to go up by herself to preserve her dignity.

The limbs were tied.

Clothes come off.

"Why are you taking off my clothes?"

"Master Zheng, how can you cleanse yourself without taking off your clothes?"

Zheng Boying closed her eyes and endured silently.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Zheng Baiying's face was pale, she was sweating profusely, and her teeth were clenched on the wood.

Just when Zheng Boying thought she was going to die, the torture finally ended.

"Master Zheng, as long as you endure it for one day and one night, you can survive."

After saying that, Zheng Baiying was left alone.

"Please, father-in-law, please cover me with a shirt." Zheng Baiying said with difficulty.

Then a white cloth covered Zheng Boying's body.

When Liu Xingzhu came back, he saw that there were many more eunuchs in this place.

"Prime Minister Zheng is gone, so I thought he was some kind of young master."

Liu Xingzhu heard their conversation.

"You are talking about Zheng Boying."

"Who are you to talk to me like that?"

Liu Xingzhu took out the token given by Jing Huan.

The eunuchs became respectful.

"Are you talking about Zheng Boying again?"

Everyone nodded.

A bad premonition arose in Liu Xingzhu's mind.

"Where is he? What happened to him?"

"He has just been tortured and he is still lying in the house. As long as he survives a day and a night, he will not die."

Liu Xingzhu was shocked when he heard what they said.

Slowly approach the house.

Liu Xingzhu opened the door and saw Zheng Baiying lying on the stone bed with a pale face.

eyes closed.

Hearing someone coming in, he opened his eyes forcefully.

He saw Liu Xingzhu standing at the door.

Zheng Boying showed even more pain.

"Get out." Two words came out of his mouth.

"I know you are in pain, I just want to be here with you." After saying that, Liu Xingzhu came to his bed and sat down.

Perhaps it was Zheng Boying's pain that made him leave Liu Xingzhu here.

The two of them were silent.

"This is the daylily flower I prepared for you. I hope you can forget your worries." Liu Xingzhu brought the flowers to Zheng Boying.

Liu Xingzhu didn't know if Zheng Boying had smelled the fragrance of the forgetfulness flower.

Then he started talking to himself.

"I like the forget-me-not flower the most. It can make people forget all their sorrows. I hope you can forget all your sorrows too."

Liu Xingzhu glanced at Zheng Boying, who still frowned in pain.

"You must hold on, you can't die."

"Why." Zheng Boying said weakly.

Liu Xingzhu didn't realize that Zheng Boying would speak.

Was startled.

But he still said: "Everyone will die, but living is to leave a different color to your life. Death is inherent in everyone, and it may be heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather. Since you are all going to die, let your death be the same as Mount Tai." Same weight."

"I am already a broken body."

"No, you can't say that. How many of those rich and noble disciples remember his name? If they remember his name, then what do they remember? Wasn't there a person who wrote a military book also imprisoned? But didn’t he still write military books, and didn’t someone who was castrated like you also write history books? Even though your body is broken, how could you know that you won’t be like them in the future?”

Zheng Boying showed an unbelieving smile.

"Don't you believe it? You don't believe in yourself but I believe in you. You can definitely do it."

Liu Xingzhu stood up angrily and danced to Zheng Boying.

The willow star bamboo is really beautiful when the sun shines on it.

The worry-free flower waved in Liu Xingzhu's hand, and the forgetful flower petals fell on Zheng Baiying's forehead.

Zheng Baiying closed her eyes, Liu Xingzhu held the petals in her right hand, and their eyes met.

Then, Liu Xingzhu sat on the ground again.

He said firmly: "You will definitely leave your name in history. I believe you can do it."
