Merry Xianggong Ximen Qing

"Me?" Ximen Qing smiled: "Of course I won't just sit and wait for the cuckoo bird in the cage to die. If this one doesn't sing, then just change it... There will always be one who will."

"Then what about those cuckoo birds that can't sing?" Emperor Toba pinched his robe and asked in a pitiful tone: "Where did they go in the end?"

"Of course it's braised in braised, fried in fried."

Ximenqing laughed in his stomach, but he couldn't say such things in front of Emperor Toba.

This boy is so kind.

So Ximen Qing smiled slightly, and replied vaguely: "Of course, go to where they should go."

"Going back to the mountains? Back to their home?" Emperor Toba didn't know if it was because of his own name, but he seemed to be relieved because of his own name, and immediately said happily: "I didn't expect Master Ximen to be a kind-hearted person. "

"Not only am I kind-hearted, but I'm also a foodie. Of course, I put delicious food in my stomach so that I can settle down."

Ximen Qing said another way: "Your Majesty is naturally kind-hearted. Although sometimes the means are too much, it is for the sake of His Majesty."

What Ximen Qing said was of course about Atsuko Fujiwara.

"But there are more sinister people in this world." Ximen Qing overturned the classic saying: "People are inherently good. According to the officials, it may not be obvious."

Emperor Toba understood, maybe he didn't understand Ximen Qing's meaning before, but now he can have a deep understanding.

"If it was Emperor Baihe, what would he do?" Ximen Qing asked suddenly: "If the cuckoo bird in the cage doesn't sing..."

Emperor Toba shook his body: "Why did the Ximen imperial envoy ask this question? To be honest... I don't know."

"It doesn't matter if Your Majesty doesn't want to answer." Ximen Qing looked at the boy with a smile, it was time to put some pressure on him.

"Your Majesty must have the answer in mind." Ximen Qing then said slowly, "Your Majesty doesn't think about himself, but also about the cuckoo in this cage."

Emperor Toba was speechless, bowing his head in thought.

Ximen Qing moved his body back a bit, and the words just got closer and closer, and the last sentence was almost said close to Emperor Toba's delicate face.

Of course, the other party's flustered breath was clearly discernible.

Give the teenager time...he should make a choice.

The choice Ximen Qing wanted.

The more popular version of the story of the cuckoo bird in the cage uses this title to show the different personalities of the three heroes of the Sengoku period in Japan.

"The cuckoo does not sing, but listens to it, what can I do?"

Oda Nobunaga said majestically: "If it doesn't cry, kill it."

Toyotomi Hideyoshi smiled secretly and said, "If it doesn't cry, just make it cry."

Tokugawa Ieyasu replied calmly: "If it doesn't cry, I'll wait for it to cry."

Ximenqing borrowed this story, but compared the cuckoo bird in the cage to two things.

One is Emperor Toba.

The second is the country of Dongying.

Regarding these two metaphors, Emperor Toba obviously understood both.

"Please Master Ximen Imperial City Envoy to teach me how to do it." Emperor Toba slowly raised his head, and Ximen Qing could already see the firm eyes.

In this kind young man, it is really rare.

Ximen Qing coughed: "Then I'll just say it straight..."

...

...

After half an hour, Ximen Qing said goodbye and went out.

During this half hour, no one will know what Ximen Qing said to Emperor Toba.

But as soon as Ximenqing left, Emperor Toba immediately summoned all the trusted servants, a series of orders came from this room, and the servants ran around to pass on the news.

"You want to see me today?"

When Second Lieutenant Zaemon got the news from Hira Tadamori, he was surprised from ear to ear.

In his mind, Emperor Toba was just an ignorant boy who lived a dull and boring life in Seiryoden. All orders were issued either from His Holiness Shirakawa or from Mr. Fujiwara Komi. Such a situation is really rare.

"Not only do you want to see your lord, but also the envoy of Second Lieutenant Uemon, Fujiwara Misaki." The servant saluted respectfully and said, "I heard that the security was good during the previous wedding, Your Majesty is very happy, and I want to meet the two lords. "

"Okay, I'll go over immediately."

Hira Tadamori nodded: "Mister Fujiwara Mimori..."

"I'd better invite you personally." The waiter saluted again, and walked away without looking back.

"Strange and weird." Ping Zhongsheng thought for a while, "Could it be that it's a young man's heart... Also, he's only 14 years old this year."

It was almost noon when Ping Zhongsheng arrived at the gate of Qingliang Hall.

To his surprise, the servant at the door pushed back the sword he had untied.

"Your Majesty wants to see the mighty appearance of the two. How can I do it without a sword?"

The servant's answer was also very strange, which made Ping Zhongsheng even more confused.

"Could it be that you want to have a martial arts competition today? In that case, the wooden sword is enough."

Shaking his head secretly, Ping Zhongsheng still strode in.

The servant led Ping Zhongsheng to the door of the room, opened the door, and Ping Zhongsheng found that Fujiwara Mimori had arrived.

Misho Fujiwara was sitting two feet away from Emperor Toba, his face was as rampant as ever, and Hiratada shook his head secretly.

This guy, as the second lieutenant of Youemon, doesn't think about his job, and finds someone to compete in martial arts every day. He is almost 25 and has not married yet, so he has the reputation of "Kyoto's No. [-] Sword".

But those who are really capable are afraid of his revenge and secretly release the water.

"Ten times? Twenty times?"

Ping Zhongsheng really couldn't remember the number of times this guy asked him for a showdown, anyway, Ping Zhongsheng never agreed to his request for a martial arts competition.

Could it be that there is no escape this time today?

"Zhongsheng! Your kid is here too!"

Seeing Hira Tadamori coming in, Fujiwara Mimori turned slightly and grinned.

This guy rushed to speak in front of Jinshang, and he simply didn't take Jinshang seriously.

Hira Tadamori straightened his face, ignored this guy, but stepped forward to bow deeply to Emperor Toba: "I have seen Your Majesty."

The door, with a light "snap", was tightly closed by the servant.

"Sit down." Emperor Toba didn't have a happy expression on his face, but a dignified expression.

Sitting down, Ping Zhongsheng felt a "thud" in his heart, knowing that his guess before coming here was completely wrong.

"The two Qings are young talents, and they did a good job some time ago. I am very happy." It is not very appropriate to say these words from the mouth of a 14-year-old boy, but it is another meaning to say them as the emperor. up.

Hira Tadamori was surprised by Emperor Toba's tone... When did this 14-year-old boy become so mature?

Didn't praises always come from the mouth of Emperor Baihe?When did Emperor Toba express his opinions and opinions?

"I called the two gentlemen over today because I want you to do something." Emperor Toba's face was solemn and calm, but the words in his mouth were not calm: "Before I tell you this matter, the two gentlemen The family has to agree first."

"Whatever orders His Majesty has, I will definitely obey."

Mimori Fujiwara was dissatisfied, and was the first to respond.

But he said so, but his body didn't move at all. Obviously, he didn't really listen to Emperor Toba's words.

And Ping Zhongsheng slowly bent down, saluted and said: "Your Majesty might as well talk first and listen."

Emperor Toba looked past Hira Tadamori and Fujiwara Mimori, and turned to a place behind them.

I don't know when it started, there was already a person standing quietly behind the door, his figure passed through the paper, nodding slightly towards this side.

Emperor Toba also nodded slightly, not knowing whether to respond to this person, or to be satisfied with the answers of Hira Tadamori and Fujiwara Mimori.

"Then, let me talk about this next."

Emperor Toba's voice echoed in the room, and there was a stark contrast between Hira Tadamori and Fujiwara Mimori: Fujiwara Mimori listened indifferently, while Hira Tadamori listened carefully on the ground.

"The emperor is getting old..."

Both Hira Tadamori and Fujiwara Mimori did not expect that Emperor Toba would start with this sentence.

Mimori Fujiwara put away his laughing expression.

Emperor Toba looked at the two seriously, and said word by word: "It's time for the old man to rest."

Fujiwara Mimori's expression changed suddenly, and he immediately jumped up, and at the same time grabbed the Taidao that was placed beside him.

Tai Tadamori finally knew why Emperor Toba ordered the two to carry weapons into...

"Farewell!" Fujiwara Mimori turned around and walked towards the door.

This is disrespectful behavior, Emperor Toba did not speak up.His face was calm, but his hands secretly grabbed the corner of his clothes.

When Fujiwara Mimori passed by Hira Tadamori, seeing the latter still lying on the ground, he shouted loudly: "Pira Tadamori! What are you still doing here!"

Ping Zhongsheng acted as if he had never heard of it, and his body remained motionless.

Until Emperor Toba uttered two words.

"Go!"

With this sound, Ping Zhongsheng jumped up, and the Taidao was already in his hand at some point, and the sword was out of its sheath!

With a turn of the body, the sharp Taidao cut across an arc, cutting across Fujiwara Mimori's body.

Fujiwara Mimori's surprised eyes have not receded, and just halfway out of the sheath of the sword in his hand, he felt a numbness in his lower abdomen.

Blood and viscera poured out like money, Fujiwara Mimori collapsed to the ground and died without a groan.

Ping Zhongsheng put the knife back into its sheath, without blinking an eye during the whole process.

Half of his body was stained red with blood.

Hira Tadamori immediately turned around and fell to the ground, saluting Emperor Toba.

"You did a good job." Emperor Toba covered his mouth and nose, not everyone could bear the irritating taste of blood.

"Go down and change clothes, let's talk about the next thing in another place."

It wasn't until the figure of Emperor Toba completely disappeared from behind that Hira Tadamori got up from the ground.

Immediately, he found that the door on his left front was opened, and a woman said to him in an extremely gentle tone: "My lord, please follow me."

But Ping Zhongsheng noticed that the kunai in the woman's hand was emitting a faint blue light.

Ping Zhongsheng suddenly felt his back sweating.

Cold sweat!

"Fortunately, I chose the right one!"

When Ping Zhongsheng took off his clothes and jumped into the barrel, he repeated this sentence in his mind over and over again.
