The young king held her hand with a sad expression. He turned around and stared at her face that he never got tired of looking at. He squeezed out a smile, "Don't worry, I, Zhao Xun, will not be so depressed!"
The three kings of Li Yang, Yan Chi King Zhao Bing, Shu King Chen Zhibao, and King of Jing An, Zhao Xun, joined forces to rebel. Among them, Zhao Bing was the most infamous, Chen Zhibao was the most feared, and Zhao Xun was the most lamentable.
Even if the court knew that Zhao Xun would be promoted to the throne by the other two kings in the future, there were still many civil officials of Li Yang who believed that the young king was forcibly imprisoned in the Spring Snow Building and was a pitiful puppet used by Zhao and Chen to deceive the world.
In fact, Great Peace City only guessed half right. Zhao Xun did not want to rebel, but it was false to say that Zhao Xun did not want to usurp the throne.
The two kings of King of Jing An, whose territory was located in the waist of the Central Plains, from Zhao Heng to Zhao Xun, always had the ambition to fight for the throne. This point, the two Kings of Beiliang knew. The previous emperor of Li Yang, Yuan Benxi, knew. The blind man Lu Xu, who used to be an advisor in the king's mansion, knew. The current Nalan Youci also knew.
Zhao Xun regretted his unwillingness to believe that piece of paper. The handwriting on that piece of paper was not unfamiliar to him. It was the handwriting of the servant girl by the blind man's side. She wanted him, Zhao Xun, to quickly return to Jingan Road after Wu Zhongxuan had quelled the battle at Guangling Road.
But Zhao Xun wanted to personally take the woman beside him to enjoy the scenery of Guangling Road. He also wanted to build a good relationship with the generals and civil officials who were bound to rise in the court. So he decided to attend the celebration banquet in the Spring Snow Building before leaving Guangling Road.
Then there was the current situation. At first, Zhao Xun thought that it was a blessing in disguise because someone told him that they would help him, Zhao Xun, to become the emperor. No matter what the conspiracy was, Zhao Xun chose to believe it. After all, that person's words were more convincing than Yan Chi King Zhao Bing.
The reason was simple. That person was called Nalan Youci.
It's just that recently Zhao Xun's life was very sullen and depressed. That general Song Li, who used to be from the Spring Snow House, was once the deputy Jiedushi, whose rank was second only to Jiedushi Lu Baijie and Administrator Wang Xionggui among all the Liyang officials of the Guangling Dao. Now that he had made great contributions on the northern front, he was becoming more and more arrogant and domineering. Not long ago, he had boarded the ship and shamelessly asked for the woman beside him with a smile!
Zhao Xun was so angry that he trembled, but in the end, he did not say anything.
Song Li did not dare to openly steal from the ship. This auspicious general who had been called a "slave of three surnames" by Great Peace City didn't forget to "kindly" remind the young vassal before disembarking. "With the old wang fei's age, no matter how beautiful she is, how many years can she have? Why don't you give her to me, Song Li, to keep a mistress? I will repay you in the future! "
Everyone knew that Guangling Road had a general surnamed Song. Not only was he the confidant of Guangling King Zhao Yi, but he was also called a blessing general by Zhao Yi. He liked to collect the beauties of the world. After the restoration of West Chu, the army of the Li Yang Imperial Court finally breached West Chu's capital. Song Li naturally reaped a bountiful harvest.
He sighed. Then it was Zhao Bing's army that took over this ill-fated city. Song Li, with the high position of Liyang Zhennan General, decisively chose to submit to the King of Yan. How could Song Li be empty-handed? It was rumored that even the King of Yan Zhennan, Zhao Bing, had jokingly asked at a banquet, "General Song, do you need a residence to raise beauties?" Song Li, who was highly regarded, only replied with one sentence, which made all the men present gasp in admiration. "Both, the more the better!" The King of Yan clapped his hands and cheered, promising on the spot, "I will not disappoint General Song in this lifetime! In the future, when the rouge rankings of the Central Plains are released, there will be a beauty sent to the Song Fu! "
Also, Song Li was not just trusted by the King of Yan Zhennan and had been given military power. Song Li and the King of Yan Zhennan, His Royal Highness Zhao Zhu, were close and called each other brothers.
Facing someone as popular as Song Li, how could Zhao Xun, who only had the title of king, respond?
Zhao Xun frowned as he looked at the lights of the ships on the river.
She reached out and smoothed his forehead.
He smiled, "Let's go back to the cabin!"
The two returned to the luxurious residence that was shaped like a cage. There was a beautifully made carved clothes rack in the cabin. On the clothes rack, there was a magnificent yellow dragon robe!
When Nalan Youci came to visit, there was a maid holding a dragon robe beside the only surviving Spring and Autumn Period strategist.
During this time, the King of Liyang, Zhao Xun, stroked the dragon robe again and again. His eyes were obsessed, and he silently counted the golden dragons.
Tonight, he came to the clothes rack again and reached out to touch the golden dragons on the dragon robe. Finally, he even squatted down and touched the "Seawater River Edge" at the bottom.
The young man suddenly raised his head and looked at her. He asked with a smile, "Do you know that there are only eight golden dragons on this dragon robe? Why isn't the number nine in the Nine and Five Venerated Nine?"
She thought for a moment, "The emperor is the real dragon son of heaven. Is the number nine when he wears the dragon robe?"
He got up and laughed. He pinched her cheek and shook his head, "You are wrong. The last golden dragon is embroidered on the inner lapel. If you don't believe me, you can open the lapel and see."
She hesitated for a moment. She still didn't touch the clothes that all men in the world dreamed of.
Zhao Xun suddenly took off the dragon robe and asked the woman to stand still. Then, he helped her put on the dragon robe!
She was stunned from the beginning to the end and didn't know what to do.
After Zhao Xun meticulously helped the woman straighten the dragon robe, he stepped back a few steps. His eyes were red, and he smiled softly, "I know that many people in Jingan Road scolded you as a female king. They said that you are a femme fatale, but I don't care."
She wanted to say something but stopped.
Zhao Xun let the tears flow, "I know you are not her. You are not her … I don't care who put you around me. I cared a lot at first, but now I don't care at all … Why? I like you. I just like you. Even if you change your face now, I still like you.
You … "
Shu Xiong bit her lips, causing strands of blood to seep out.
Zhao Xun suddenly smiled. He bowed and said softly, "Your husband greets his wife."
The candles in the room were bright.
She was wearing a dragon robe, like a woman wearing a wedding dress.
She slowly curtsied and said in a graceful voice, "Your Majesty."
— —
It was on the Guangling River and in the Yellow Dragon Fortress Ship.
Zhao Bing, the Prince of Yan Chi, was sitting on an embroidered stool and drinking.
Although the old man did not wear a king's robe or iron armor, he had accumulated great power. In fact, among the many princes of Liyang who participated in the fight for the throne, Zhao Bing's military achievements were the most prominent. He deserved to be the first person of the Zhao family.
It was said that Zhao Bing was on his way to the king's residence. When he crossed the Guangling River south, he looked north and asked the counselor beside him with a smile, "Zhao Yi, King of Guangling, Zhao Heng, King of Jing An, Zhao Ying, King of Huainan, and Zhao Sui, King of Jiaodong. Do these guys have half of my military function?"
A handsome middle-aged man leaned against the window and looked sideways at the surging river. He held the cup with three fingers and twirled it gently.
Zhao Bing sighed heavily and said helplessly, "Sir, can't you let go of those two bastards? At least let them live. Anyway, they can't make waves in the future. "
Nalan Youci did not turn his head and said indifferently, "Bastards? Both of them are your sons. Why are you scolding yourself? "
Zhao Bing was speechless.
Nalan Youci continued, "The two sons of the King of Yan Chi deliberately leaked military secrets to Great Peace City. They almost let His Royal Highness die in the southern battlefield of the capital. Not to mention the two sons, even if their father dares to do this, I will beat him to death."
Zhao Bing rolled his eyes and said in a muffled voice, "I'm scared of you."
Nalan Youci finally turned his head and said seriously, "Do you want an only son who can sit firmly on the dragon throne, or do you want to be a tattered founding emperor of a second fallen country after wearing the dragon robe for a few years?"
Zhao Bing waved his hand as if he had a headache and said, "Sir, you have the final say! Damn it, I can only win against you once in my life. "
Nalan Youci smiled and asked, "Then I can send the order to bring two cups of wine for the child to drink?"
Zhao Bing's face immediately became awkward. He lowered his head and said nothing.
Nalan Youci did not force the king to make an immediate decision. He turned his head and looked out of the window again. He seemed to be talking to himself, "In the end, even a tiger doesn't eat its cubs. If you don't hesitate about this kind of thing, I, Nalan Youci, will not help you to this step today. Of course, I won't live until now."
Zhao Bing put down the wine cup, clenched his fists, and exhaled heavily, "Do as you say! I, Zhao Bing, will pretend that I have never had these two sons! "
Nalan Youci nodded, "You have such a good son like Zhao Zhu. You should be satisfied. Look at the son of the old King of Jing An, Zhao Heng, Zhao Xun, who dreams of being the emperor. In the end, he can't even protect the woman he loves. Look at the son of the King of Beiliang, Xu Xiao, Hsu Fengnian … "
The first half of the words was very heartwarming, but the second half of the sentence? Zhao Bing couldn't help laughing and scolding, "Stop, stop! Aren't you insulting me?! You scholars are full of bad ideas! "
Nalan Youci laughed it off.
Zhao Bing's mood improved a little, and he softly advised, "The river breeze is strong, and sir's body is … In short, don't stand at the window to be blown by the wind."
Nalan Youci sat back on the stool, poured a glass of wine for Zhao Bing, and said slowly, "The most interesting thing about the ancient people is that most of them have a heart-wrenching story. It's a pity that the most famous rouge, the red cheeks, is a tribute. People can't buy it even if they have money. It's a pity that the female in the flower sculpture.
Erhong, in fact, is not delicious at all. "
