Warlock Toxic General Please Control Yourself
Chapter 209 Handling the Pearl Chapter I will not let anyone hurt you at all!
Chapter 209: The Palm of the Bead, I won't let anyone hurt you!
Zhang Zhu covered her sore lips and said angrily: "The kiss is over, please fulfill your promise tomorrow!"
What Xi Liemo was thinking of was the beautiful scene of the beauty throwing herself into her arms automatically, but she didn't know that the beauty didn't understand the style, and made the kiss look like a fight, not at all charming, but the skin on the inside of her lips was scratched, it is estimated that it will take a few days Can't eat hot food.
Touching his nose, he thought he was unlucky, and nodded in response.
Zhangzhu's lips were more delicate, and the wound inside was worse than that of Xi Liemo, but she tried her best not to make a sound, for fear that that lecherous guy would take advantage of the maneuver and move his feet again.
-
On the second day, Xi Liemo really fulfilled his promise.
Naturally, it was not allowed to do such things in such a solemn and sacred place as the Council Hall in the early dynasty.
Xi Liemo brought their ministers to the imperial garden after the morning court, and showed the men's bicycle in public.
The men's version is much more majestic than the women's version. It is equally luxurious, but also a bit more masculine.
But unlike what Xi Liemo and Zhang Zhu guessed, most of the ministers were not surprised by this, but instead showed a confused expression.
Of course, there are also a small number of people who are very curious about this.
Zhangzhu thought a lot, but he still missed a little bit. Most of the ministers in the court are old antiques. Even if they want to ride, they are powerless, so how can they have much interest?
Those who are interested are mostly generals and younger ministers.
But to be able to enter the court and become Xi Liemo's close minister, no matter how young you are, there is a limit to it, unlike Zhangzhu's customers who are promoted in the palace, they are all young ladies in their teens who are full of curiosity. So there was no loud applause as expected.
Xi Liemo coughed twice, and said in embarrassment: "The Queen brought this back from the Li Kingdom, and it was carefully crafted by the top craftsmen of the Li Kingdom. Li Guo's strange obscenity skills."
Then, as if thinking of something, his face turned serious, "Although the Li Kingdom has few horses, it uses this thing to replace the horse's function. Its ingenious idea is very worthy of study by all my subjects in the Western Qiang, including this king. !"
Someone who was good at reading Xi Liemo's thoughts immediately said: "Your Majesty, I understand, I hope that the queen can reward me with a bicycle, so that I can take it back to the mansion and study it!"
As soon as these words came out, more people followed suit, "Your Majesty, I admire the craftsmen of Li Guo very much, and I hope that the queen can reward one, so that I can enshrine it, and let the children in the family use it as a model and continue to encourage them." Go forward by yourself!"
"Your Majesty, I also need..."
Xi Liemo's embarrassment suddenly eased a lot. Fortunately, his courtiers are sensible, otherwise he would be ashamed and humiliated in front of his queen!
"This bicycle is the queen's property, and this king can't be her master without authorization!" Xi Liemo pretended, "In this way, if you are interested, you can send suitable people to the queen to inquire about it. Do not meddle!"
If people found out that he used his courtiers to make money, where would he put his face as a king?The point is, it's only a little bit of money, which makes him so stingy as a king!
From the reactions of the ministers, Xi Liemo originally thought that the promotion of men's bicycles had failed.
Unexpectedly, after it was actually released, it was discovered that there was no danger!Those old guys don't understand the beauty of it, but the young grandchildren in their family do!
Such a novel and interesting thing, as a prince and aristocrat in Kyoto, why not try it first?
For a while, luxury bicycles became popular among the nobles. What's more, I heard that the king and queen of the dynasty liked to ride around the palace on weekdays. Proud bike!
Of course, this is all two months later.
From the point of view at this time, the promotion of men's bicycles is not considered a success, so although Xi Liemo has completed the handicap, he is still quite depressed.
But when he saw Zhang Zhu's joyful and beautiful little face, he felt that it was nothing to lose face because of her smile!
What made him even more troubled was that during the two days at the end of the month, it was the turn of Second Princess Huyan Yunxi to attend bed.
A few days ago, he had a dispute with Zhangzhu because of the matter of serving the bed, which made him depressed for a few days.
Now even if he is unwilling to leave his queen, he still has to put on a face. He has to be concerned about the face of the Huyan family, and he has to be more concerned about the authority of his princess.
Xi Liemo couldn't think of any good reason, so he simply went to report to A Cong in less than half an hour as he went to Gongsun Min's place last time, saying that there was something urgent to discuss!
Huyan Yunxi sent Xi Liemo away sympathetically, and said considerately before leaving: "The Great Kingdom is busy with business, and the business is important. When you are done, you should rest early, and come to my concubine to sit here when you have time!"
Xi Liemo was moved by Huyan Yunxi's understanding at that moment. This cousin of the great-grandfather's family who didn't get along much was much more sensible than his cousin Gongsun Min.
Huyan Yunxi sent Xi Liemo away with a slight smile on his face. The moment he closed the door, the corners of his smiling lips twitched, his face was quickly covered with frost, and his eyes shot a vicious look.
Xi Liemo has been in the Hall of Supreme Harmony for more than a month in a row. All the concubines and beauties whose turn it is their turn to sleep, he will find excuses not to go, even if he does, he will not stay for half an hour at most, including the princess Gongsun Min!
What does this mean?It means that Xi Liemo is completely fascinated by Princess Li now, and other people can't see her at all!
If things go on like this, what chance does she have of giving birth to the eldest prince?
Huyan Yunxi originally thought that by relying on Xi Lingyun and Gongsun Min's struggle, while attacking Gongsun Min and the Gongsun family behind him, he would also let the queen bear the responsibility for ineffective supervision of the harem.
Looking at it now, Yixi Liemo's love for the queen, this little crime can't touch her at all!
no!It seems that the Queen has to act alone!
Huyan Yunxi's eyes flickered coldly, and he soon had an idea.
She is a person who can endure, but also a person who sees the opportunity and makes a decisive move without hesitation!Otherwise, how could it be her turn to come to this palace to be the second concubine?
Now there is a great opportunity to attack the queen, it is fleeting, it would be a pity not to seize it!
-
In Helan Qingcheng's dormitory, it was rare for Xi Lingyun and Helan Qingcheng to sit face to face and talk about things.
He Lan Qingcheng said: "The queen seems to be completely fascinated by the king. Except for one night when I heard that because there were too many political affairs to be dealt with, the king stayed in the imperial study for one night to do business. Harmony Hall."
"So, the queen will be pregnant soon?" Xi Lingyun narrowed his eyes thinking about that beautiful woman, and said it was a pity in his heart.
"Doting so frequently, maybe we already have it now!" He Lan Qingcheng's tone was obviously sour.
Xi Lingyun's eyes turned to her, looked her up and down, and said with a frivolous smile: "You little girl is jealous again?"
Helan Qingcheng didn't hate it in a coquettish tone like before, but became more jealous: "My lord, the queen is really beautiful, isn't she?"
"What do you mean by those words?" Xi Lingyun blinked, hiding his emotions.
"On the night of the Lantern Festival, my concubine saw the prince staring at the queen without taking his eyes off, the look in his eyes, tsk tsk..." He Lan Qingcheng clicked twice, "If the king saw it at that time, he would definitely not forgive the prince lightly!"
Xi Lingyun smiled nonchalantly, "Everyone loves to look at beauties. The queen is beautiful. What's so strange about this king's eyes? Don't even think about it, my dear. Before you entered the palace, every time you went out, How many men look at you with that kind of eyes? It's not surprising that men are sex-eating."
"My lord never thought that my concubine would be jealous?" He Lan Qingcheng half-truthfully said, "It's a big or small thing for this woman to be jealous."
Xi Lingyun laughed and said: "You little girl, although the queen is beautiful, it's just her appearance. Don't you know what this king loves the most?"
In the end, he winked coquettishly at Helan Qingcheng, with an extremely lewd expression.
He Lan Qingcheng's bright face turned to the side, and snorted, "This man changes as he says, so I don't know who I am."
It seems that they are still arguing!
Xi Lingyun didn't say any more, and went straight forward, pushed Helan Qingcheng down on the table, and showed with practical actions what he loved the most.
Helan Qingcheng pretended to struggle a few times at first, but was soon aroused, and moaned loudly to cooperate.
-
Three days later in the morning, just as Xi Liemo and Zhang Zhu got up, Ayu's anxious voice came from outside the door: "Queen, something happened!"
Ayu has always been calm, never had such a tone!Zhang Zhu's heart tightened, and hurriedly ordered the palace nurse to open the door.
Ayu was all dirty, and knelt down on one knee when he came in: "Last night, a collapse occurred during the mining of Yushan. Ten people were killed and ten people were seriously injured. The subordinates ordered people to surround them overnight and temporarily evacuated all the workers. The supervisors under him Unfavorable, if such a big event happens, I ask the queen to come down!"
It was fine a few days ago, how can something happen if something goes wrong?Zhangzhu looked serious, "Ayu, we'll talk about the punishment later, let me tell you the reason why it happened first."
Ayu said in a deep voice: "My subordinates don't know either! Before the work was finished yesterday, there was a loud noise, and the Yushan Mountain collapsed. The dozen or so workers behind were crushed inside before they could react."
"Have you sent someone to investigate the reason?" Xi Liemo asked, frowning.
"I can't find out for a while!" Ayu said: "The collapse was too severe, and for the time being, we had to move the rocks away to rescue the seriously injured people inside, as well as the dead bodies.
The master craftsman at the scene said that he was afraid that something should not have been moved, so the collapse occurred.But since there was a collapse and people died, it means that the damage inside is too severe, so even if all the collapse is emptied, I am afraid that the cause will not be found out! "
Xi Liemo said: "In your opinion, did someone do it on purpose? Or was it a random accident?"
Ayu said honestly: "This subordinate doesn't know!"
Zhangzhu was silent for a moment, "Ayu, pass on this palace's oral order to let Imperial Physician Liu go down in person. We must do our best to treat those injured in this accident! As for the families of the victims, we must compensate enough silver taels!"
"Yes!"
After Ayu left, Zhangzhu said bluntly: "Brother Amo, what happened in the court recently?"
As the eldest princess of Li Guo, Zhangzhu has extraordinary political sensitivity. As soon as Xi Liemo asked what she just said, she realized that something might happen or was already in the process of happening.
Xi Liemo did not hide from her, "Folk circus troupes have gradually become popular, and some nobles have already smelled the hidden business opportunities, but because you, Ashu, protected them in the name of the queen in advance, the nobles did not dare It’s a rash move. But now, some people in the government have begun to raise the impropriety of this matter.”
"Then how did Brother Amo solve it?" Zhang Zhu asked.
Xi Liemo thought of the faces of those nobles, and snorted disdainfully, "Tell them directly: Didn't the love ministers watch it very happily when the queen pushed it earlier? Why didn't the love ministers stop it then? Now the folks are developing Now, many ordinary people who can't afford to eat can now eat, but are you jealous of that meal?"
Zhang Zhu worried: "However, the greed of the nobles will be restrained just because of the king's few words?"
"I know!" Xi Liemo held her hand tightly and said with a smile: "This war between the royal family and the nobles headed by the three major families will break out sooner or later!
Ever since my father ascended the throne, he has been secretly deploying all of this, which is why there is the current Lian Family Army.Now nearly [-]% of the Western Qiang army is in my hands, and I am no longer afraid of the three major families.
I'm just worried that if the face is torn apart, the war will not be so easy to start, but most of the Xiqiang economy is controlled by the three major families. Once they deliberately raise prices and hinder normal transactions in the folk market, the folk economy will definitely be severely hit. People's lives will be even more difficult.
If civil strife breaks out at that time, it would be too cruel for my father and my two generations of well-trained Lianjia army to suppress our own people!So in the past few years, I have been waiting for the opportunity!
Now with you, Ashu, the economy of Xiqiang has begun to develop in a good direction. In the near future, there will be earth-shaking changes. How can I give up because of the three major families?This time, I'm not afraid to tear myself apart with them! "
Zhangzhu held his hand for the first time, with a firm expression on his face, "Brother Amo, I will definitely stand by your side!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, and there was an imperceptible tacit understanding.
Even though the two had been mentally prepared and guessed that the collapse of Jade Mountain would not be easily let go, they were still caught off guard when vicious rumors surrounded the palace.
-
On the night after the collapse of Yushi Mountain, the ancestors of the three major families, Gongsunyu, Huyanlong, and Helanshi, got together.
In Xiqiang, except for the three of them, no one knows that the three great families who apparently compete for the title of the No. When major events happen, they will gather together to discuss major plans.
Within the aristocratic circle they were rivals, outside the aristocratic circle they were one.
This kind of relationship, which is both competition and cooperation, is the real reason why the three major families have been able to last for hundreds of years, and it is also the reason why they cannot replace the royal family.
If one family dominates, it will definitely attract the fear of the royal family, and eventually bring about the bane of destruction. Only when the three families exist at the same time and restrain each other on the surface can the royal family relax their vigilance.
However, because of their long-standing mentality, the three families coexist and can never replace the royal family. They can only find ways to secretly control the royal family and seek benefits for their own family.
But now, the royal family seems to be getting more and more out of control. Coincidentally, another incident like this happened. Should we let it go lightly, or use it as an excuse?
The three ancestors, who are nearly two hundred years old together, feel the need to sit together and count together.
Gongsun Yu was impatient and spoke first, "You two brothers, what do you think about the collapse of Yushi Mountain?"
Hu Yanlong's temperament is indifferent, decisive and ruthless. For the sake of benefit, he can deny his relatives, "Such a good opportunity, of course we can't miss it."
He Lanshi seems to have the gentlest temper, but in fact he is the most ambitious, but the current Helan family is completely incomparable with Gongsun and Huyan, so he has always only offered opinions, not made decisions, and on the surface he agrees with them , but actually took advantage of the two people's dissatisfaction with each other's thoughts, and chose a plan that was beneficial to their own family.
He laughed and said, "I agree with Brother Huyan on this point, what about you, Brother Gongsun?"
"Although the king is my own grandson, he has been trying to get rid of us all these years and fly high alone. Since the king is unkind first, don't blame me for being unrighteous. I also want him to know that the three of us are not so easy to get rid of! " Gongsun Yu snorted.
Hu Yanlong snorted lightly, with a bit of disdain, "If your Gongsun family hadn't agreed with the previous king to support the Lian family, how could the Lian family stand firm? Without the Lian family army, what confidence does the current king have to challenge us? ?”
This matter is the pain of Gongsunyu's life, his beloved daughter Gongsunqing married the former Xiqiang king, the husband and wife loved each other and gave birth to Xiliemo.He originally thought that his grandson would be the king in the future, and Gongsun Qing would persuade him, so he took a supportive attitude towards many policies of the former Xiqiang king.
Unexpectedly, the married daughter poured out the water, and Gongsun Qing had long stood in the perspective of the royal family, supporting the former Xiqiang king to support the military family, and contending with the three great masters, so as to get rid of the constraints of the three great masters.
Later, when Gongsun Yu realized it, the Lian family had already established a firm foothold and became the first army of the Western Qiang.
If he was wrong back then, he was wrong, but it has been so many years since the incident, and the old man Huyanlong still used this matter to mock him from time to time, but Gongsun Yu couldn't bear it.
"Huyanlong, over the years, hasn't your Huyan family done anything inappropriate? Not to mention far away, let's take a closer look. My granddaughter Min'er just met Lord Ling. Your family's Huyan Yun Xi, you actually think of plotting and tricking to ruin the reputation of the two of you! This kind of sinister and shameless thing can only be done by you Huyan family!"
Huyan Yunxi's plan, Hu Yanlong had indeed agreed to it at the beginning, but soon because of Gongsunyu and Lian's family's hints, he dismissed this idea, and what hadn't happened before was given the title of insidious and shameless, even if he Huyanlong himself Admitting insidiousness, but unwilling to bear shameless charges.
"Gongsunyu, it's your granddaughter Gongsun Min who misbehaved first! Lord Ling is her cousin-in-law and her sixth uncle. He only met at Gongsun's mansion the day before, and at the palace the next day. I can't wait to meet you, anyone would think too much! My granddaughter Yun Xi is only worried about the confusion of the royal blood, and she just reminded me, she has never done anything sinister and shameless!"
When Gongsunyu heard that he had framed his beloved granddaughter, Gongsun Min, he jumped up angrily and wanted to fight him, "You old man, what are you pretending to be in your head?..."
He Lanshi on the side was originally in the mood of watching a good show, seeing that the two of them were about to fight, and if they didn't stop it, something big would happen, so he hurriedly said: "Brother Gongsun, brother Huyan, don't be hurt by things that have passed and things that haven't happened. Be kind! If the three of us really do it, the king will be the happiest! Now let’s think about how to make a fuss about the collapse of Yushi Mountain!"
Gongsun and Hu Yanlong, who had already rolled up their sleeves, stared at each other, then snorted and turned their heads to one side.
He Lanshi continued: "The Queen's position no longer belongs to our three families, why should this eldest prince belong to our three families! The queen is a princess of Li, with a noble status. Since she married into Xiqiang, she has always followed the rules. Can't find the fault, so we can't move before!
Now a great opportunity is in front of you, two brothers, how do you think we can make the king snub her and the people oppose her without offending Li Guo? "
Hu Yanlong is worthy of being an old treacherous villain, and his shots are firm and precise. After he calmed down, his eyes flashed, and he immediately thought of an idea, "Both of you, my thoughts are like this..."
Gongsunyu put aside the dispute just now, as if nothing happened, nodded while listening, and inserted a few sentences from time to time.
The more they talked, the more satisfied they became, and finally they looked at each other and laughed.
-
For the next two days, everything was normal in the morning. Seeing that no one took the opportunity to make trouble, Xi Liemo thought that he and Zhang Zhu were overthinking this matter.
Unexpectedly, on the third day, news was suddenly received that many folk circus troupes have been attacked in the past two days.
The news is that after the folk circus troupe was inexplicably attacked, it was reported to Zan Puzun.
Zan Puzun directly reported the matter to Xi Liemo, "My lord, five folk circus troupes have been attacked in the past two days!"
Previously, Xi Liemo had approached Zan Puzun privately, and if there was any serious matter, he had to report it to him first.
Although Zan Puzun is single-handedly pulling out the palm of the hand, but from the mentality of a man, he is naturally more willing to obey the orders of the king of a country.
What's more, what Xi Liemo asked him to do was not something against the queen.
"Who did it?"
Zan Puzun said: "I heard from the people in the business that those who attacked were old and young, and they didn't have any skills. They looked like ordinary people!"
"Could it be seeking personal revenge?" Xi Liemo frowned.
"The little ones also asked this question. The bosses of several circus troupes said that they are all normal businessmen. They have always valued peace and never entered into personal grudges. It's also inexplicable!"
"Those who attacked them, did they say anything?"
"Just keep saying: ignorant people, lost their heads because of a little money, and don't even remember their ancestors! Something like that."
After Xi Liemo closed his eyes and thought for a while, his expression was heavy, "Don't report this matter to the queen for the time being, you go down first!"
"Yes, Your Majesty! I will take my leave!"
"A Cong!" Xi Liemo raised his voice.
Soon, Ah Cong walked in from the door, "What is the master's order?"
Xi Liemo's voice was indifferent, "Tell Lian Jue what happened just now, and ask him to find out who is behind it!"
"Yes!"
Zan Puzun can hide this matter from Zhangzhu first, and when he went to see Xi Liemo, the owner of the circus troupe who was attacked happened to come to report the matter, and Ruyue found out about it.
Knowing the news, Ru Yue did not dare to hide it from Zhang Zhu, she immediately reported to Zhang Zhu.
What Zhangzhu likes about Kisaragi is that although she has no political sensitivity, she never pretends to be smart.
For example, in this matter, Ruyue didn't realize that there was any conspiracy in it, but subconsciously felt that she couldn't hide it from her master.
"Has there been similar attacks in the past few days?" Zhangzhu asked.
Ruyue was stunned, "Zan Puzun has always been in charge of the direct contact with the bosses of the circus troupes. The servants have never heard him mention this matter, but these days the bosses who come to him seem to be more frequent than before."
That's it!Zhang Zhu lowered his eyes, then raised his head again, and said: "If any circus troupe owner comes to Zan Puzun again in the past few days, you should also understand why he came here."
"Yes!" Kisaragi nodded in agreement, not knowing why.
When Xi Liemo came in the evening, Zhangzhu pretended to be casual and said: "Brother Amo, I heard that the folk circus troupe has been attacked in the past few days."
Xi Liemo's hands froze, and he suddenly understood, "Ashu already knew about it? I told Zan Puzun not to tell you about this, so don't worry! I have already sent Lianjue to investigate the person behind the scenes! "
"Brother Amo, the folk circus troupe was created by my concubine, and now it's being attacked continuously, and it's clearly aimed at me!" Zhang Zhu raised his face, serious and serious, "Brother Amo, my concubine I know that you are doing it for my own good, but in the future, please don't hide anything about me! I am not a timid person!"
Xi Liemo was a little discouraged and a little proud. Such a delicate person, when he had a serious expression, gave people the feeling of having infinite power.
"Okay, I know! It's my fault this time, I shouldn't hide it from Ashu. Tell me, Ashu, how do you want to punish me?" Xi Liemo pinched her nose lightly and said with a narrow smile.
Zhang Zhu didn't know what to do when he made a fuss about something that was supposed to be serious. She stared at him with accusations written in her eyes: Your Majesty, can you be more serious?
Her serious and somewhat embarrassed expression made Xi Liemo laugh out loud, "Ashu, I thought that since the matter has already happened, I should face it with ease!"
But there was still a smile on the back, but the voice was full of determination, "Ashu, don't worry, no matter what, this king will not let anyone hurt you!"
Seeing the seriousness and persistence in her eyes made her heart skip a beat, she looked away uncomfortably, and said softly, "Thank you, Brother Amo, for your kindness."
The people behind the scenes, both of them knew that they were inseparable from the Three Great Masters, but without clear evidence, they couldn't do anything to the Three Great Masters.
Continuous evidence has not yet been found, but the attacks on the circus troupe by the people have become more frequent and fierce.
Even the royal circus troupe led by Zan Puzun was attacked by common people on the way back from the performance.
The verbal attacks also turned into words such as "Calamity, don't harm our Xiqiang people!" or "Get out of Xiqiang!"
It was so obvious, as soon as he heard it, he knew that he was coming for Zhangzhu.
As a last resort, Zhangzhu ordered Zan Puzun to suspend all the performances of the royal family and folk circus troupes first, and wait until the limelight of this matter has passed.
At the same time, some common people gathered not far from the palace, pointing at the palace.
The palace guards drove away several times, and each time those people dispersed, they quickly gathered again.
The location where the common people gathered happened to be the safe boundary 500 meters away from the royal palace.
If this limit is exceeded, the guards have the right to shoot and kill strangers who approach at will without permission.
But before that, the guard looked helplessly at the heads of those gathered together.
The guards had no right to deal with it, and those people looked at it as an eyesore, so they had to report the matter.
Reported from one floor to another, Xi Liemo soon found out about it.
At this time, Lian Jue was in his study, with no expression on his tough face, "Your Majesty, this matter is because people are using people's hearts behind their backs to spread rumors, but the scope is too wide, and it is impossible to know where the rumors first came from." !"
"What are the current rumors?" Xi Liemo's face was livid.
Lian Jue paused, without concealing anything, "In the beginning, the people's resentment was caused by the circus troupe. There are rumors that the queen of Li Guolai will turn all the horses of Xiqiang into dancing horses to welcome the arrival of the emperor and the army of Li Guo , and turned Xiqiang into a subsidiary state of Li. Therefore, he deeply hated the circus troupe, thinking that they ignored Xiqiang for a little money.
Furthermore, the story of the collapse of the Jade Mountain was also spread by people with good intentions. The value of jade has always been the highest for pure and flawless jade, but now it is stained with blood and is regarded as an ominous thing. So God got angry and used the collapse to stain Yushan with blood to warn Xiqiang that the queen has hidden evil intentions and should not be the queen of a country! "
"It's unreasonable!" Xi Liemo yelled fiercely, and angrily swept all the memorials on the desk to the ground, his face was gloomy, with the tendency of landslides and earth cracks.
A Cong outside the door was startled, he had never seen his master get so angry.
Lian Jue, on the other hand, was still so calm that there was no movement at all, "Your Majesty, within three days, when the anger of the common people reaches its climax, those ministers will definitely ask for the Queen's house arrest in the morning!"
In other words, he only has three days to resolve this incident and appease the resentment of the people.
Xi Liemo's violently heaving chest slowly slowed down, those old men will clean up one by one later!
"The king knows! You go down!"
"Your Majesty..." Lian Jue stood still.
Xi Liemo knew what he wanted, and wanted to refuse at first, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was too much for the two of them not to meet because of his own affairs, so he said: "Go, but now there are people outside the palace, don't Got caught!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" A smile finally appeared on Lian Jue's stern face.
If it had been before, Xi Liemo might have felt some disappointment and jealousy in his heart. He hadn't settled his queen yet, so he already had anger in his heart, but he still wanted to see other people's unscrupulous expressions of mutual affection on his face. Really upset!
But now that the main business is important, Xi Liemo can't care about other things in his heart.
After Lian Jue left, he quickly left and went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
-
"Jue?" Lian Zhiruo, who was lying on the imperial concubine chair with a book, saw Lian Jue suddenly appear, with a slight smile on her calm face, "Why are you here?"
"Xiao Zhi, I want to see you, so I'm here." Lian Jue didn't hide the fanaticism on his face in front of the woman he loves.
Even Zhiruo didn't hesitate, and responded with a smile, "Je, I haven't seen you for a few days, and I miss you very much."
She lay still and waved to Lianjue, "Come here and sit down."
Lian Jue hesitated for a moment, then quickly walked over and sat down next to Lian Zhiruo.
Lian Zhiruo sat up, gently fell into Lian Jue's arms, and changed into a comfortable position, "Jue, has something happened in the past few days?"
Lian Jue said: "The actions of the three major families against the queen have begun."
"What can we do to help the king and queen?"
"It's hard! This time the three major families are instigating ordinary ordinary people. Even the family's army cannot be used, and your schemes cannot be used." Lian Jue's big hand gently stroked her hair, so tall and tough. The man, with his big rough hands, did such a gentle movement without any sense of disobedience, on the contrary, it was very pleasing to the eye, as if he had done it thousands of times.
"Yeah." Lian Zhiruo already knew it in her heart, but she just wanted to talk more with Lian Jue, "Jade and horses are the foundation of our Xiqiang people. This matter is too sensitive, and I dare not make a decision lightly. This time it depends on how the king arranges it. Let's do our best to cooperate!"
Lian Jue nodded slightly.
Lian Zhiruo sat up, "Jue, the king must be upset that such a big event has happened now, you should leave today."
After finally seeing the one he loves, Lian Jue is a little reluctant to leave.
Lian Zhiruo kissed his lips lightly, and said softly: "Jeez, when the queen gives birth to a prince and the king pardons the world, you can take advantage of this time to get out of slavery. At that time, father will have no excuse to stop us Together."
Lian Jue is a slave of Generalissimo Lian's family. Seven years ago, when he was escorting the frail Lian Zhiruo out for medical treatment, he was attacked by refugees. Zhiruo ran twenty miles back to Lianfu, and then collapsed from exhaustion, almost dying.
Logically speaking, as a slave of Lianfu, it was only natural for Lian Jue to sacrifice his life for his master, but Lian Zhiruo, who was young and indifferent at that time, just remembered his kindness, and as he grew up, After getting in touch with each other, the two fell in love with each other.
Lian Jue didn't back down because of his status as a slave. When he knew that he fell in love with the noble lady, he boldly expressed his love regardless of everything.
Although Lian Zhiruo has a cold temperament, she still has the fiery temperament of a Western Qiang woman. She already has a crush on Lian Jue, and she agrees to Lian Jue's courtship without hesitation.
Two people with completely different identities fell in love, and then spent a happy time together.
But the huge difference in status between the two makes them realize that the possibility of being together forever is too small.
So Bian Jue worked hard, hoping that one day he could get amnesty and be released from slavery. Even Zhiruo also reached an agreement with Xi Liemo to enter the palace to help him balance the harem, so that he would be exempted from consecutive slavery in the future, so that the two of them could live in a bright and aboveboard relationship. together.
Lian Jue didn't want to leave at all, but now he couldn't help kissing the woman he loves, he turned against the guest and kissed her fiercely, until Lian Zhiruo was out of breath and her cheeks were flushed, he let her go and left reluctantly.
(End of this chapter)
Zhang Zhu covered her sore lips and said angrily: "The kiss is over, please fulfill your promise tomorrow!"
What Xi Liemo was thinking of was the beautiful scene of the beauty throwing herself into her arms automatically, but she didn't know that the beauty didn't understand the style, and made the kiss look like a fight, not at all charming, but the skin on the inside of her lips was scratched, it is estimated that it will take a few days Can't eat hot food.
Touching his nose, he thought he was unlucky, and nodded in response.
Zhangzhu's lips were more delicate, and the wound inside was worse than that of Xi Liemo, but she tried her best not to make a sound, for fear that that lecherous guy would take advantage of the maneuver and move his feet again.
-
On the second day, Xi Liemo really fulfilled his promise.
Naturally, it was not allowed to do such things in such a solemn and sacred place as the Council Hall in the early dynasty.
Xi Liemo brought their ministers to the imperial garden after the morning court, and showed the men's bicycle in public.
The men's version is much more majestic than the women's version. It is equally luxurious, but also a bit more masculine.
But unlike what Xi Liemo and Zhang Zhu guessed, most of the ministers were not surprised by this, but instead showed a confused expression.
Of course, there are also a small number of people who are very curious about this.
Zhangzhu thought a lot, but he still missed a little bit. Most of the ministers in the court are old antiques. Even if they want to ride, they are powerless, so how can they have much interest?
Those who are interested are mostly generals and younger ministers.
But to be able to enter the court and become Xi Liemo's close minister, no matter how young you are, there is a limit to it, unlike Zhangzhu's customers who are promoted in the palace, they are all young ladies in their teens who are full of curiosity. So there was no loud applause as expected.
Xi Liemo coughed twice, and said in embarrassment: "The Queen brought this back from the Li Kingdom, and it was carefully crafted by the top craftsmen of the Li Kingdom. Li Guo's strange obscenity skills."
Then, as if thinking of something, his face turned serious, "Although the Li Kingdom has few horses, it uses this thing to replace the horse's function. Its ingenious idea is very worthy of study by all my subjects in the Western Qiang, including this king. !"
Someone who was good at reading Xi Liemo's thoughts immediately said: "Your Majesty, I understand, I hope that the queen can reward me with a bicycle, so that I can take it back to the mansion and study it!"
As soon as these words came out, more people followed suit, "Your Majesty, I admire the craftsmen of Li Guo very much, and I hope that the queen can reward one, so that I can enshrine it, and let the children in the family use it as a model and continue to encourage them." Go forward by yourself!"
"Your Majesty, I also need..."
Xi Liemo's embarrassment suddenly eased a lot. Fortunately, his courtiers are sensible, otherwise he would be ashamed and humiliated in front of his queen!
"This bicycle is the queen's property, and this king can't be her master without authorization!" Xi Liemo pretended, "In this way, if you are interested, you can send suitable people to the queen to inquire about it. Do not meddle!"
If people found out that he used his courtiers to make money, where would he put his face as a king?The point is, it's only a little bit of money, which makes him so stingy as a king!
From the reactions of the ministers, Xi Liemo originally thought that the promotion of men's bicycles had failed.
Unexpectedly, after it was actually released, it was discovered that there was no danger!Those old guys don't understand the beauty of it, but the young grandchildren in their family do!
Such a novel and interesting thing, as a prince and aristocrat in Kyoto, why not try it first?
For a while, luxury bicycles became popular among the nobles. What's more, I heard that the king and queen of the dynasty liked to ride around the palace on weekdays. Proud bike!
Of course, this is all two months later.
From the point of view at this time, the promotion of men's bicycles is not considered a success, so although Xi Liemo has completed the handicap, he is still quite depressed.
But when he saw Zhang Zhu's joyful and beautiful little face, he felt that it was nothing to lose face because of her smile!
What made him even more troubled was that during the two days at the end of the month, it was the turn of Second Princess Huyan Yunxi to attend bed.
A few days ago, he had a dispute with Zhangzhu because of the matter of serving the bed, which made him depressed for a few days.
Now even if he is unwilling to leave his queen, he still has to put on a face. He has to be concerned about the face of the Huyan family, and he has to be more concerned about the authority of his princess.
Xi Liemo couldn't think of any good reason, so he simply went to report to A Cong in less than half an hour as he went to Gongsun Min's place last time, saying that there was something urgent to discuss!
Huyan Yunxi sent Xi Liemo away sympathetically, and said considerately before leaving: "The Great Kingdom is busy with business, and the business is important. When you are done, you should rest early, and come to my concubine to sit here when you have time!"
Xi Liemo was moved by Huyan Yunxi's understanding at that moment. This cousin of the great-grandfather's family who didn't get along much was much more sensible than his cousin Gongsun Min.
Huyan Yunxi sent Xi Liemo away with a slight smile on his face. The moment he closed the door, the corners of his smiling lips twitched, his face was quickly covered with frost, and his eyes shot a vicious look.
Xi Liemo has been in the Hall of Supreme Harmony for more than a month in a row. All the concubines and beauties whose turn it is their turn to sleep, he will find excuses not to go, even if he does, he will not stay for half an hour at most, including the princess Gongsun Min!
What does this mean?It means that Xi Liemo is completely fascinated by Princess Li now, and other people can't see her at all!
If things go on like this, what chance does she have of giving birth to the eldest prince?
Huyan Yunxi originally thought that by relying on Xi Lingyun and Gongsun Min's struggle, while attacking Gongsun Min and the Gongsun family behind him, he would also let the queen bear the responsibility for ineffective supervision of the harem.
Looking at it now, Yixi Liemo's love for the queen, this little crime can't touch her at all!
no!It seems that the Queen has to act alone!
Huyan Yunxi's eyes flickered coldly, and he soon had an idea.
She is a person who can endure, but also a person who sees the opportunity and makes a decisive move without hesitation!Otherwise, how could it be her turn to come to this palace to be the second concubine?
Now there is a great opportunity to attack the queen, it is fleeting, it would be a pity not to seize it!
-
In Helan Qingcheng's dormitory, it was rare for Xi Lingyun and Helan Qingcheng to sit face to face and talk about things.
He Lan Qingcheng said: "The queen seems to be completely fascinated by the king. Except for one night when I heard that because there were too many political affairs to be dealt with, the king stayed in the imperial study for one night to do business. Harmony Hall."
"So, the queen will be pregnant soon?" Xi Lingyun narrowed his eyes thinking about that beautiful woman, and said it was a pity in his heart.
"Doting so frequently, maybe we already have it now!" He Lan Qingcheng's tone was obviously sour.
Xi Lingyun's eyes turned to her, looked her up and down, and said with a frivolous smile: "You little girl is jealous again?"
Helan Qingcheng didn't hate it in a coquettish tone like before, but became more jealous: "My lord, the queen is really beautiful, isn't she?"
"What do you mean by those words?" Xi Lingyun blinked, hiding his emotions.
"On the night of the Lantern Festival, my concubine saw the prince staring at the queen without taking his eyes off, the look in his eyes, tsk tsk..." He Lan Qingcheng clicked twice, "If the king saw it at that time, he would definitely not forgive the prince lightly!"
Xi Lingyun smiled nonchalantly, "Everyone loves to look at beauties. The queen is beautiful. What's so strange about this king's eyes? Don't even think about it, my dear. Before you entered the palace, every time you went out, How many men look at you with that kind of eyes? It's not surprising that men are sex-eating."
"My lord never thought that my concubine would be jealous?" He Lan Qingcheng half-truthfully said, "It's a big or small thing for this woman to be jealous."
Xi Lingyun laughed and said: "You little girl, although the queen is beautiful, it's just her appearance. Don't you know what this king loves the most?"
In the end, he winked coquettishly at Helan Qingcheng, with an extremely lewd expression.
He Lan Qingcheng's bright face turned to the side, and snorted, "This man changes as he says, so I don't know who I am."
It seems that they are still arguing!
Xi Lingyun didn't say any more, and went straight forward, pushed Helan Qingcheng down on the table, and showed with practical actions what he loved the most.
Helan Qingcheng pretended to struggle a few times at first, but was soon aroused, and moaned loudly to cooperate.
-
Three days later in the morning, just as Xi Liemo and Zhang Zhu got up, Ayu's anxious voice came from outside the door: "Queen, something happened!"
Ayu has always been calm, never had such a tone!Zhang Zhu's heart tightened, and hurriedly ordered the palace nurse to open the door.
Ayu was all dirty, and knelt down on one knee when he came in: "Last night, a collapse occurred during the mining of Yushan. Ten people were killed and ten people were seriously injured. The subordinates ordered people to surround them overnight and temporarily evacuated all the workers. The supervisors under him Unfavorable, if such a big event happens, I ask the queen to come down!"
It was fine a few days ago, how can something happen if something goes wrong?Zhangzhu looked serious, "Ayu, we'll talk about the punishment later, let me tell you the reason why it happened first."
Ayu said in a deep voice: "My subordinates don't know either! Before the work was finished yesterday, there was a loud noise, and the Yushan Mountain collapsed. The dozen or so workers behind were crushed inside before they could react."
"Have you sent someone to investigate the reason?" Xi Liemo asked, frowning.
"I can't find out for a while!" Ayu said: "The collapse was too severe, and for the time being, we had to move the rocks away to rescue the seriously injured people inside, as well as the dead bodies.
The master craftsman at the scene said that he was afraid that something should not have been moved, so the collapse occurred.But since there was a collapse and people died, it means that the damage inside is too severe, so even if all the collapse is emptied, I am afraid that the cause will not be found out! "
Xi Liemo said: "In your opinion, did someone do it on purpose? Or was it a random accident?"
Ayu said honestly: "This subordinate doesn't know!"
Zhangzhu was silent for a moment, "Ayu, pass on this palace's oral order to let Imperial Physician Liu go down in person. We must do our best to treat those injured in this accident! As for the families of the victims, we must compensate enough silver taels!"
"Yes!"
After Ayu left, Zhangzhu said bluntly: "Brother Amo, what happened in the court recently?"
As the eldest princess of Li Guo, Zhangzhu has extraordinary political sensitivity. As soon as Xi Liemo asked what she just said, she realized that something might happen or was already in the process of happening.
Xi Liemo did not hide from her, "Folk circus troupes have gradually become popular, and some nobles have already smelled the hidden business opportunities, but because you, Ashu, protected them in the name of the queen in advance, the nobles did not dare It’s a rash move. But now, some people in the government have begun to raise the impropriety of this matter.”
"Then how did Brother Amo solve it?" Zhang Zhu asked.
Xi Liemo thought of the faces of those nobles, and snorted disdainfully, "Tell them directly: Didn't the love ministers watch it very happily when the queen pushed it earlier? Why didn't the love ministers stop it then? Now the folks are developing Now, many ordinary people who can't afford to eat can now eat, but are you jealous of that meal?"
Zhang Zhu worried: "However, the greed of the nobles will be restrained just because of the king's few words?"
"I know!" Xi Liemo held her hand tightly and said with a smile: "This war between the royal family and the nobles headed by the three major families will break out sooner or later!
Ever since my father ascended the throne, he has been secretly deploying all of this, which is why there is the current Lian Family Army.Now nearly [-]% of the Western Qiang army is in my hands, and I am no longer afraid of the three major families.
I'm just worried that if the face is torn apart, the war will not be so easy to start, but most of the Xiqiang economy is controlled by the three major families. Once they deliberately raise prices and hinder normal transactions in the folk market, the folk economy will definitely be severely hit. People's lives will be even more difficult.
If civil strife breaks out at that time, it would be too cruel for my father and my two generations of well-trained Lianjia army to suppress our own people!So in the past few years, I have been waiting for the opportunity!
Now with you, Ashu, the economy of Xiqiang has begun to develop in a good direction. In the near future, there will be earth-shaking changes. How can I give up because of the three major families?This time, I'm not afraid to tear myself apart with them! "
Zhangzhu held his hand for the first time, with a firm expression on his face, "Brother Amo, I will definitely stand by your side!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, and there was an imperceptible tacit understanding.
Even though the two had been mentally prepared and guessed that the collapse of Jade Mountain would not be easily let go, they were still caught off guard when vicious rumors surrounded the palace.
-
On the night after the collapse of Yushi Mountain, the ancestors of the three major families, Gongsunyu, Huyanlong, and Helanshi, got together.
In Xiqiang, except for the three of them, no one knows that the three great families who apparently compete for the title of the No. When major events happen, they will gather together to discuss major plans.
Within the aristocratic circle they were rivals, outside the aristocratic circle they were one.
This kind of relationship, which is both competition and cooperation, is the real reason why the three major families have been able to last for hundreds of years, and it is also the reason why they cannot replace the royal family.
If one family dominates, it will definitely attract the fear of the royal family, and eventually bring about the bane of destruction. Only when the three families exist at the same time and restrain each other on the surface can the royal family relax their vigilance.
However, because of their long-standing mentality, the three families coexist and can never replace the royal family. They can only find ways to secretly control the royal family and seek benefits for their own family.
But now, the royal family seems to be getting more and more out of control. Coincidentally, another incident like this happened. Should we let it go lightly, or use it as an excuse?
The three ancestors, who are nearly two hundred years old together, feel the need to sit together and count together.
Gongsun Yu was impatient and spoke first, "You two brothers, what do you think about the collapse of Yushi Mountain?"
Hu Yanlong's temperament is indifferent, decisive and ruthless. For the sake of benefit, he can deny his relatives, "Such a good opportunity, of course we can't miss it."
He Lanshi seems to have the gentlest temper, but in fact he is the most ambitious, but the current Helan family is completely incomparable with Gongsun and Huyan, so he has always only offered opinions, not made decisions, and on the surface he agrees with them , but actually took advantage of the two people's dissatisfaction with each other's thoughts, and chose a plan that was beneficial to their own family.
He laughed and said, "I agree with Brother Huyan on this point, what about you, Brother Gongsun?"
"Although the king is my own grandson, he has been trying to get rid of us all these years and fly high alone. Since the king is unkind first, don't blame me for being unrighteous. I also want him to know that the three of us are not so easy to get rid of! " Gongsun Yu snorted.
Hu Yanlong snorted lightly, with a bit of disdain, "If your Gongsun family hadn't agreed with the previous king to support the Lian family, how could the Lian family stand firm? Without the Lian family army, what confidence does the current king have to challenge us? ?”
This matter is the pain of Gongsunyu's life, his beloved daughter Gongsunqing married the former Xiqiang king, the husband and wife loved each other and gave birth to Xiliemo.He originally thought that his grandson would be the king in the future, and Gongsun Qing would persuade him, so he took a supportive attitude towards many policies of the former Xiqiang king.
Unexpectedly, the married daughter poured out the water, and Gongsun Qing had long stood in the perspective of the royal family, supporting the former Xiqiang king to support the military family, and contending with the three great masters, so as to get rid of the constraints of the three great masters.
Later, when Gongsun Yu realized it, the Lian family had already established a firm foothold and became the first army of the Western Qiang.
If he was wrong back then, he was wrong, but it has been so many years since the incident, and the old man Huyanlong still used this matter to mock him from time to time, but Gongsun Yu couldn't bear it.
"Huyanlong, over the years, hasn't your Huyan family done anything inappropriate? Not to mention far away, let's take a closer look. My granddaughter Min'er just met Lord Ling. Your family's Huyan Yun Xi, you actually think of plotting and tricking to ruin the reputation of the two of you! This kind of sinister and shameless thing can only be done by you Huyan family!"
Huyan Yunxi's plan, Hu Yanlong had indeed agreed to it at the beginning, but soon because of Gongsunyu and Lian's family's hints, he dismissed this idea, and what hadn't happened before was given the title of insidious and shameless, even if he Huyanlong himself Admitting insidiousness, but unwilling to bear shameless charges.
"Gongsunyu, it's your granddaughter Gongsun Min who misbehaved first! Lord Ling is her cousin-in-law and her sixth uncle. He only met at Gongsun's mansion the day before, and at the palace the next day. I can't wait to meet you, anyone would think too much! My granddaughter Yun Xi is only worried about the confusion of the royal blood, and she just reminded me, she has never done anything sinister and shameless!"
When Gongsunyu heard that he had framed his beloved granddaughter, Gongsun Min, he jumped up angrily and wanted to fight him, "You old man, what are you pretending to be in your head?..."
He Lanshi on the side was originally in the mood of watching a good show, seeing that the two of them were about to fight, and if they didn't stop it, something big would happen, so he hurriedly said: "Brother Gongsun, brother Huyan, don't be hurt by things that have passed and things that haven't happened. Be kind! If the three of us really do it, the king will be the happiest! Now let’s think about how to make a fuss about the collapse of Yushi Mountain!"
Gongsun and Hu Yanlong, who had already rolled up their sleeves, stared at each other, then snorted and turned their heads to one side.
He Lanshi continued: "The Queen's position no longer belongs to our three families, why should this eldest prince belong to our three families! The queen is a princess of Li, with a noble status. Since she married into Xiqiang, she has always followed the rules. Can't find the fault, so we can't move before!
Now a great opportunity is in front of you, two brothers, how do you think we can make the king snub her and the people oppose her without offending Li Guo? "
Hu Yanlong is worthy of being an old treacherous villain, and his shots are firm and precise. After he calmed down, his eyes flashed, and he immediately thought of an idea, "Both of you, my thoughts are like this..."
Gongsunyu put aside the dispute just now, as if nothing happened, nodded while listening, and inserted a few sentences from time to time.
The more they talked, the more satisfied they became, and finally they looked at each other and laughed.
-
For the next two days, everything was normal in the morning. Seeing that no one took the opportunity to make trouble, Xi Liemo thought that he and Zhang Zhu were overthinking this matter.
Unexpectedly, on the third day, news was suddenly received that many folk circus troupes have been attacked in the past two days.
The news is that after the folk circus troupe was inexplicably attacked, it was reported to Zan Puzun.
Zan Puzun directly reported the matter to Xi Liemo, "My lord, five folk circus troupes have been attacked in the past two days!"
Previously, Xi Liemo had approached Zan Puzun privately, and if there was any serious matter, he had to report it to him first.
Although Zan Puzun is single-handedly pulling out the palm of the hand, but from the mentality of a man, he is naturally more willing to obey the orders of the king of a country.
What's more, what Xi Liemo asked him to do was not something against the queen.
"Who did it?"
Zan Puzun said: "I heard from the people in the business that those who attacked were old and young, and they didn't have any skills. They looked like ordinary people!"
"Could it be seeking personal revenge?" Xi Liemo frowned.
"The little ones also asked this question. The bosses of several circus troupes said that they are all normal businessmen. They have always valued peace and never entered into personal grudges. It's also inexplicable!"
"Those who attacked them, did they say anything?"
"Just keep saying: ignorant people, lost their heads because of a little money, and don't even remember their ancestors! Something like that."
After Xi Liemo closed his eyes and thought for a while, his expression was heavy, "Don't report this matter to the queen for the time being, you go down first!"
"Yes, Your Majesty! I will take my leave!"
"A Cong!" Xi Liemo raised his voice.
Soon, Ah Cong walked in from the door, "What is the master's order?"
Xi Liemo's voice was indifferent, "Tell Lian Jue what happened just now, and ask him to find out who is behind it!"
"Yes!"
Zan Puzun can hide this matter from Zhangzhu first, and when he went to see Xi Liemo, the owner of the circus troupe who was attacked happened to come to report the matter, and Ruyue found out about it.
Knowing the news, Ru Yue did not dare to hide it from Zhang Zhu, she immediately reported to Zhang Zhu.
What Zhangzhu likes about Kisaragi is that although she has no political sensitivity, she never pretends to be smart.
For example, in this matter, Ruyue didn't realize that there was any conspiracy in it, but subconsciously felt that she couldn't hide it from her master.
"Has there been similar attacks in the past few days?" Zhangzhu asked.
Ruyue was stunned, "Zan Puzun has always been in charge of the direct contact with the bosses of the circus troupes. The servants have never heard him mention this matter, but these days the bosses who come to him seem to be more frequent than before."
That's it!Zhang Zhu lowered his eyes, then raised his head again, and said: "If any circus troupe owner comes to Zan Puzun again in the past few days, you should also understand why he came here."
"Yes!" Kisaragi nodded in agreement, not knowing why.
When Xi Liemo came in the evening, Zhangzhu pretended to be casual and said: "Brother Amo, I heard that the folk circus troupe has been attacked in the past few days."
Xi Liemo's hands froze, and he suddenly understood, "Ashu already knew about it? I told Zan Puzun not to tell you about this, so don't worry! I have already sent Lianjue to investigate the person behind the scenes! "
"Brother Amo, the folk circus troupe was created by my concubine, and now it's being attacked continuously, and it's clearly aimed at me!" Zhang Zhu raised his face, serious and serious, "Brother Amo, my concubine I know that you are doing it for my own good, but in the future, please don't hide anything about me! I am not a timid person!"
Xi Liemo was a little discouraged and a little proud. Such a delicate person, when he had a serious expression, gave people the feeling of having infinite power.
"Okay, I know! It's my fault this time, I shouldn't hide it from Ashu. Tell me, Ashu, how do you want to punish me?" Xi Liemo pinched her nose lightly and said with a narrow smile.
Zhang Zhu didn't know what to do when he made a fuss about something that was supposed to be serious. She stared at him with accusations written in her eyes: Your Majesty, can you be more serious?
Her serious and somewhat embarrassed expression made Xi Liemo laugh out loud, "Ashu, I thought that since the matter has already happened, I should face it with ease!"
But there was still a smile on the back, but the voice was full of determination, "Ashu, don't worry, no matter what, this king will not let anyone hurt you!"
Seeing the seriousness and persistence in her eyes made her heart skip a beat, she looked away uncomfortably, and said softly, "Thank you, Brother Amo, for your kindness."
The people behind the scenes, both of them knew that they were inseparable from the Three Great Masters, but without clear evidence, they couldn't do anything to the Three Great Masters.
Continuous evidence has not yet been found, but the attacks on the circus troupe by the people have become more frequent and fierce.
Even the royal circus troupe led by Zan Puzun was attacked by common people on the way back from the performance.
The verbal attacks also turned into words such as "Calamity, don't harm our Xiqiang people!" or "Get out of Xiqiang!"
It was so obvious, as soon as he heard it, he knew that he was coming for Zhangzhu.
As a last resort, Zhangzhu ordered Zan Puzun to suspend all the performances of the royal family and folk circus troupes first, and wait until the limelight of this matter has passed.
At the same time, some common people gathered not far from the palace, pointing at the palace.
The palace guards drove away several times, and each time those people dispersed, they quickly gathered again.
The location where the common people gathered happened to be the safe boundary 500 meters away from the royal palace.
If this limit is exceeded, the guards have the right to shoot and kill strangers who approach at will without permission.
But before that, the guard looked helplessly at the heads of those gathered together.
The guards had no right to deal with it, and those people looked at it as an eyesore, so they had to report the matter.
Reported from one floor to another, Xi Liemo soon found out about it.
At this time, Lian Jue was in his study, with no expression on his tough face, "Your Majesty, this matter is because people are using people's hearts behind their backs to spread rumors, but the scope is too wide, and it is impossible to know where the rumors first came from." !"
"What are the current rumors?" Xi Liemo's face was livid.
Lian Jue paused, without concealing anything, "In the beginning, the people's resentment was caused by the circus troupe. There are rumors that the queen of Li Guolai will turn all the horses of Xiqiang into dancing horses to welcome the arrival of the emperor and the army of Li Guo , and turned Xiqiang into a subsidiary state of Li. Therefore, he deeply hated the circus troupe, thinking that they ignored Xiqiang for a little money.
Furthermore, the story of the collapse of the Jade Mountain was also spread by people with good intentions. The value of jade has always been the highest for pure and flawless jade, but now it is stained with blood and is regarded as an ominous thing. So God got angry and used the collapse to stain Yushan with blood to warn Xiqiang that the queen has hidden evil intentions and should not be the queen of a country! "
"It's unreasonable!" Xi Liemo yelled fiercely, and angrily swept all the memorials on the desk to the ground, his face was gloomy, with the tendency of landslides and earth cracks.
A Cong outside the door was startled, he had never seen his master get so angry.
Lian Jue, on the other hand, was still so calm that there was no movement at all, "Your Majesty, within three days, when the anger of the common people reaches its climax, those ministers will definitely ask for the Queen's house arrest in the morning!"
In other words, he only has three days to resolve this incident and appease the resentment of the people.
Xi Liemo's violently heaving chest slowly slowed down, those old men will clean up one by one later!
"The king knows! You go down!"
"Your Majesty..." Lian Jue stood still.
Xi Liemo knew what he wanted, and wanted to refuse at first, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was too much for the two of them not to meet because of his own affairs, so he said: "Go, but now there are people outside the palace, don't Got caught!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" A smile finally appeared on Lian Jue's stern face.
If it had been before, Xi Liemo might have felt some disappointment and jealousy in his heart. He hadn't settled his queen yet, so he already had anger in his heart, but he still wanted to see other people's unscrupulous expressions of mutual affection on his face. Really upset!
But now that the main business is important, Xi Liemo can't care about other things in his heart.
After Lian Jue left, he quickly left and went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
-
"Jue?" Lian Zhiruo, who was lying on the imperial concubine chair with a book, saw Lian Jue suddenly appear, with a slight smile on her calm face, "Why are you here?"
"Xiao Zhi, I want to see you, so I'm here." Lian Jue didn't hide the fanaticism on his face in front of the woman he loves.
Even Zhiruo didn't hesitate, and responded with a smile, "Je, I haven't seen you for a few days, and I miss you very much."
She lay still and waved to Lianjue, "Come here and sit down."
Lian Jue hesitated for a moment, then quickly walked over and sat down next to Lian Zhiruo.
Lian Zhiruo sat up, gently fell into Lian Jue's arms, and changed into a comfortable position, "Jue, has something happened in the past few days?"
Lian Jue said: "The actions of the three major families against the queen have begun."
"What can we do to help the king and queen?"
"It's hard! This time the three major families are instigating ordinary ordinary people. Even the family's army cannot be used, and your schemes cannot be used." Lian Jue's big hand gently stroked her hair, so tall and tough. The man, with his big rough hands, did such a gentle movement without any sense of disobedience, on the contrary, it was very pleasing to the eye, as if he had done it thousands of times.
"Yeah." Lian Zhiruo already knew it in her heart, but she just wanted to talk more with Lian Jue, "Jade and horses are the foundation of our Xiqiang people. This matter is too sensitive, and I dare not make a decision lightly. This time it depends on how the king arranges it. Let's do our best to cooperate!"
Lian Jue nodded slightly.
Lian Zhiruo sat up, "Jue, the king must be upset that such a big event has happened now, you should leave today."
After finally seeing the one he loves, Lian Jue is a little reluctant to leave.
Lian Zhiruo kissed his lips lightly, and said softly: "Jeez, when the queen gives birth to a prince and the king pardons the world, you can take advantage of this time to get out of slavery. At that time, father will have no excuse to stop us Together."
Lian Jue is a slave of Generalissimo Lian's family. Seven years ago, when he was escorting the frail Lian Zhiruo out for medical treatment, he was attacked by refugees. Zhiruo ran twenty miles back to Lianfu, and then collapsed from exhaustion, almost dying.
Logically speaking, as a slave of Lianfu, it was only natural for Lian Jue to sacrifice his life for his master, but Lian Zhiruo, who was young and indifferent at that time, just remembered his kindness, and as he grew up, After getting in touch with each other, the two fell in love with each other.
Lian Jue didn't back down because of his status as a slave. When he knew that he fell in love with the noble lady, he boldly expressed his love regardless of everything.
Although Lian Zhiruo has a cold temperament, she still has the fiery temperament of a Western Qiang woman. She already has a crush on Lian Jue, and she agrees to Lian Jue's courtship without hesitation.
Two people with completely different identities fell in love, and then spent a happy time together.
But the huge difference in status between the two makes them realize that the possibility of being together forever is too small.
