ruffian mixed in ancient times

Chapter 231 "Negotiation between Monarch and Subject"

Seeing that the crowd had retreated, the emperor walked into a pavilion and sat softly on a stone bench.

Ah Zhen saw that he was old, put his hand on his waist, and hurriedly leaned over to help him, and finally let him sit down after all kinds of difficulties.And he also sat next to him.

The emperor glanced at him, then shook his head. This kid always treats him as nothing, but he likes this temperament.

"Tell me, why is time running out?"

After looking at the old man, Ah Zhen slowly replied: "The life of my minister is on the same line as your old man."

When the emperor heard that he called the old man again, he didn't scold him, and asked curiously, "Why did you say that?"

Ah Zhen also raised his eyebrows and looked at him and sighed: "Old man, your heart is like a mirror, so why bother to ask what you know."

The emperor also sighed secretly after hearing this, this kid is extremely smart, if he was born by himself, he would be willing to die right now, but he is not.

The two sat on the stone bench silently to each other. After a long time, the emperor sighed: "Since you know everything, I won't hide it from you."

Ah Zhen stared at him, seeing that the old man seemed to have aged a lot in an instant.

"Actually, I don't know what to do with you. As my great Sima and King Chagar of Tubo, with a heavy army in hand, my reputation has surpassed mine. After I leave, there will still be people in the world." Who can hold you back?"

"Great skills shake the master, Qi surpasses the king, and controls the soldiers. It's difficult." Ah Zhen also sighed.

The emperor heard him talking to himself, and couldn't help nodding, "I was thinking that you must have known it, and it was true. At the banquet just now, you were just checking whether my bottom line was right or not."

Ah Zhen nodded, looked at him with a smile, and said, "It's because the emperor was worried about the humble minister first, isn't it?"

"Oh, why am I worried about you?" The old man was shocked, thinking that he hadn't shown his feet.

"I just came back from Jiangnan, and you issued three edicts asking me to enter the palace immediately." After looking at him, he said with a smile: "But after entering the palace, you just chatted with me and didn't even ask about Jiangnan. It proves that the old man has a clear understanding of everything, since you have a clear understanding, why are you so anxious to ask me to enter the palace?"

The emperor listened to his words, nodded and said: "I am too impatient."

"Grandpa, do you still remember? Back then, I said that I knew the way of the emperor, and that people who were not of my race would have different hearts."

"Of course I remember, what I said at that time was very shocking to me."

Ah Zhen heard him say that he remembered, smiled and said: "You understand better than anyone else that I don't want to be an official. As for the dragon chair, I avoid it like a snake and a scorpion, but you still have to guard against me."

"Because you are King Chagar of Tupan, if you are not, why should I be afraid to hand over all the soldiers and horses in the world to you."

"That's why there is a estrangement between our monarchs and ministers. The consequences of mutual suspicion are, first, you kill me, old man, and second, I turn against you."

The emperor nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and said with certainty: "And you will choose the second."

"Yes, I'm not a subject like your subordinates, and I don't have the respect that the monarch wants the subject to die, and the subject has to die." After speaking with a smile, he couldn't help sighing: "Old man, you know everything , and it’s very clear, so you don’t know what to do.”

The emperor stared at him silently for a while, pointed at him and said, "Killing you is like digging open my heart. If you don't kill you, it is impossible to ensure the safety of the crown prince. My foundation of more than [-] years in the Zhou Dynasty will definitely be destroyed in your hands."

"Old man, you have filtered it. Just because you are so kind to me, I will surely make your Dazhou foundation safe in my lifetime."

Hearing his words, the emperor's eyes were piercing, and he said anxiously: "Is this really true?"

"Do you believe me?" Ah Zhen looked at him.

There was another long silence, and the old man's dark eyes fluctuated slightly, "I believe in you." His tone was also firm.

As soon as the words fell, Ah Zhen's slender eye hair moved, and his black eyes also stared at the emperor, and finally smiled after a long while.

"Thank you, old man, it seems that we have reached a consensus."

"Don't even think about being carefree, I don't have a few years to live, so just stay by my side and accompany me." The emperor sighed, he was old.

Ah Zhen stretched out his hands to hold his old hands and comforted him: "Relax your heart a little bit. Only when you let go of your heart will you be happy. After you are happy, all diseases will naturally disappear."

After talking about the matter, the emperor was not in such a depressed mood, and threatened with a smile: "You kid, you actually touched me, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

"Okay, okay, can't I let go?" He spread his hands high in pretending to be frightened.

Seeing his appearance, the emperor shook his head and said bitterly: "You are really fearless, kid. There is nothing I can do about you."

After finishing speaking, Ah Zhen also opened his mouth, and after getting closer, he put his arms around his old shoulder and said: "Old man, remember to give me a secret edict later."

"You..." the emperor was embraced by him, heard his words, gritted his teeth and cursed: "You bastard" After cursing, he pointed his finger at him, shook his head and said, "I remember, take your dirty hands away." After finishing speaking Shrugged.

"Thank you, old man." Ah Zhen was overjoyed, no matter which emperor ascended the throne, his family would be safe and sound.

The two stood up, walked to the pavilion, wandered among the thousands of flowers, and chatted about family affairs.

The emperor, who was walking in the garden, asked him, "Guess who I will secrete as the crown prince."

"Is it okay not to guess?"

"No, I have to guess."

Ah Zhen looked worried, and said without thinking: "Guo Zhixiao."

The emperor paused when he heard the name, and asked suspiciously, "Why Xiaoer?"

"Because you sent him to go to the south of the Yangtze River with me." It's so obvious that everyone in the world knows.

"Why?"

"Jiangnan raised the whole Dazhou, why do you still need it?" Ah Zhen rolled his eyes, thinking he was an idiot.

The emperor nodded after listening, and asked: "Do you think Xiaoer can take on this important task?"

"No."

"And why?"

"There is no reason, because I like him, so I don't want him to come here."

"Everyone is nostalgic for the throne, but you just talk about the throne like a monster."

"Your majesty, sitting in your position proves that you can't sleep well every day, that you don't eat delicious meals, that you have endless memorials to approve, and things you can't finish. You must set an example for the world. You go to bed later than a dog, and you wake up like a chicken. Good morning." After speaking, he spread his hands and said, "What's the point of living like this."

"You bastard, how dare you use chickens and dogs as a metaphor." The emperor reprimanded, laughing inwardly, but the metaphor is really appropriate, he just goes to bed later than a dog and wakes up earlier than a chicken.Heartbroken for the people of the world, often have nightmares when sleeping, and the delicacies that he eats are like bitter medicine.After thinking about it, he compared him and said, "You really see everything clearly."

"So, it's better to have nothing to do, travel around the mountains, rivers and lakes at ease." After speaking, he remembered something and asked him: "Old man, you always talk about your country, your country, but have you seen it with your own eyes?" Have you ever lived in your country?"

"I have so many things to deal with every day, how can I be free?" After finishing speaking, he stopped, raised his eyes and saw his playful eyes, and couldn't help sighing, yes, he didn't take a good look at his country.

Seeing him sigh, Ah Zhen sighed too.

The emperor heard him sigh and cursed: "Bastard, you are free and easy, why are you sighing with me?"

Ah Zhen frowned, and replied strangely: "Your Majesty, a feeling that something is wrong has become more and more intense recently..."

"Oh, what's wrong?" The emperor was also curious.

He himself was also very confused, shook his head and said: "I don't know, it's just a feeling, as if someone will help you watch me for everything." After speaking, he spread his hands and looked up at the sky: "This kind of It feels very strong, as if you are always by my side watching my every move." After speaking, he squinted his eyes and looked deeply at the emperor.

After hearing what he said, the emperor fell silent, stepped up and continued to walk towards the garden, thinking secretly, this kid is too sensitive.

Ah Zhen walked with him for some distance before hearing the old man finally speak, "It's not that you don't know, but that your sense of respect has been reminding you why I didn't ask you the original story when you came back from Jiangnan. You know all this and I already know it.”

Ah Zhen nodded and listened to him continue without saying a word.

"But you also understand that I am not the kind of person who only reads memorials, and I will definitely ask you personally, but I just don't ask."

Ah Zhen raised his eyebrows and asked firmly: "Did the old man put eyeliner by my side?"

"A child can be taught!" After answering, he turned around and asked with a smile, "Guess who this eyeliner is?"

Ah Zhen filtered through the group of ten people one by one, but still had no idea, so he shook his head, "I don't know."

"I didn't know how to deal with you. If I didn't talk about it today, I might order you to be killed when I was dying." After finishing speaking, he continued to walk forward.

Ah Zhen was not too surprised, followed behind him and said, "Even if you didn't order me to be killed, the new emperor who is enthroned will not tolerate me."

"You are very smart, but your only weakness is that you love women."

"I agree." Ah Zhen surrendered, admitting that he has no resistance to beautiful women.But why did the emperor suddenly mention female sex?After thinking about it, he took a loud breath and asked in surprise: "The one next to me, the old man arranged a song, is a woman."

The emperor nodded and said that he is smart, it seems that the answer will come out soon.

Just after he thought about it, Ah Zhen gasped even louder, his eyes widened in disbelief: "It's Qianyun."

"Hehehe" the emperor finally stopped, turned around and nodded.

"I don't believe, how could Qianyun be your eyeliner." This is simply a fantasy. His Yun'er turned out to be the old man's eyeliner. Then the love during this period of time is nothing. Those true feelings cannot be faked. from.

Seeing that he was so unbelievable, the emperor sighed and asked, "Have you never wondered why the two brothers and sisters of the Xiang family have such high martial arts?"

"Didn't their grandfather teach them?"

"Their grandpa's martial arts are ordinary, and what he taught them was only very basic martial arts."

"It's you." Ah Zhen pointed at him.

"That's right, it was I who searched for martial arts masters from all over the world to teach them."

No wonder, the emperor is rich all over the world, and it is easy to find the best masters in the world. After thinking about it, he was startled and asked, "You also ordered her to marry me?" After asking, his face was not so good.

The emperor nodded and sighed: "Think about what you were like when you first met her, and why she fell in love with you so quickly."

"It's not because I'm attractive." Ah Zhen was dumbfounded.

The emperor chuckled, "Apart from being smart, do you think you are handsome?"

Ah Zhen nodded, since Qianyun wanted to kill him at the beginning, she committed herself to him in less than half a year, it was really too late.Before he could speak, the emperor spoke again.

"Well, I admit that you are a bit charming, but what I never expected was that Qianyun really fell in love with you later." This was something he never expected.

"Let's talk about it." After listening to it, Ah Zhen was in a very calm mood. She didn't feel betrayed by Qianyun. Instead, she felt more pity and love for him. It really hurt her.

After looking at him with squinted eyes, the emperor said, "When the two brothers and sisters were eight years old, I arranged for them to study arts at Mount Tai, and they were taught from an early age to protect me and sacrifice their lives for me when necessary." At first I just put them in the Burning Willow Villa."

"Old man, you are much smarter than I look like."

The emperor was in a good mood when he heard his praise, "Otherwise, do you think I would dare to make Burning Willow Villa so big? It holds the lifeblood of Da Zhou."

"I know, I know." Ah Zhen waved his hand and asked urgently, "What happened next?"

The emperor hates his teeth itching, usually he is the one who urges others, and he is the only one in the world who dares to urge him.

"Because of you, I ordered them to put all their thoughts on you."

"You have found someone else to take over Burning Willow Villa." Ah Zhen was sure.

"That's right." The emperor nodded his head, his mind was as expected.

After Ah Zhen finished listening, he looked up to the sky and shouted: "Oh my god, my god! I didn't expect that all the people around me are your eyeliner."

The old man of the emperor couldn't help laughing and cursing when he heard him roaring up to the sky: "Now that you know, what should you do?"

"Old man, how about we discuss it?" Ah Zhen looked like a dog after he finished his long roar.

The old man looked him up and down, narrowed his eyes and said, "Let's listen."

"Don't use my Yun'er again, can you?" After speaking, he added: "Also remove Qianyun from your mind forever."

Hearing what he said, the emperor frowned, nodded and said: "Since I told you this, I will not give any orders to the two brothers and sisters." After walking out of the imperial garden, the old body turned around and narrowed its eyes cautiously. Said: "Don't call me old man anymore, call yourself a humble minister." Being heard by others, there will be many twists and turns.

"Yes, this humble minister takes orders." The old man just loves to put on airs.

In the imperial study room, all the ministers were standing in the hall, and the emperor was sitting at the table dancing around.

"Great Sima stay here, you kneel down." After the emperor finished dancing the pen in his hand, the courtiers ordered.

Liu Wanyang glanced at Ah Zhen, but didn't dare to ask any more questions, and all quietly retreated after kneeling down.

"Your secret edict." The corner of the emperor's mouth curled slightly, holding the volume of imperial edict, and put it lightly on the desk.

Ah Zhen smiled silently, stepped forward quickly, reached out and took the secret edict in his hand, after wiping off the imperial seal, he spread it out to check.

After reading it, the corners of his mouth and eyes smiled, and he cupped his fists and said loudly, "Thank you, Your Majesty." After thanking him, he quickly tied a red knot and stuffed it into his arms.The lives of his whole family were saved.

Seeing that he was so happy, the emperor sighed, "I believe in you, don't forget what you said today."

"Your majesty, don't worry. As a humble man, I can't chase after a word."

"Okay." After the emperor nodded, he waved his hand and said, "You go down too, I'm a little tired."

"Your Majesty, rest early." After speaking, he walked out without looking back.

After walking out of the door, Ah Zhen pulled Wang Yu and asked, "Do you know where Princess Chagel is?"

"I have left the palace and returned to your residence."

Wow!So fast?After Ah Zhen was speechless, he ignored Wang Yu and hurried to the gate of the palace.

Outside the study of Da Sima Mansion, there was a sound of hurried footsteps.

Fu Lu ran in the door with sweat on his face, the sweat on his forehead was still dripping to the ground. When he looked up, he saw the young lady sitting in front of the desk, holding a Langhao pen, dealing with the affairs of the house.

"Miss, Princess Chagel is visiting." It was also the first time he had seen Princess Chagel, and it was rumored that Princess Tubo had a bad relationship with the young master.

Wan'er raised her head, and hurriedly got up in surprise, Xueshuang and Yirou hurried over to support her tightly.

"Quick, please invite Princess Chagel." After she finished speaking, she hurriedly stepped out of the threshold, "Fulu, is your husband back yet?"

"No." Fu Lu was also unclear, "Only Chagall came to visit alone."

Wan'er twisted her eyebrows and complained: "What is your husband doing?" After talking to herself, she walked anxiously towards the front hall.
