In the Chusheng military camp.
As usual, he was pouring tea at the desk and waiting for Xiaoluzi. When he saw the other party limping over, he suddenly smiled. He put down the teapot in his hand and handed Xiaoluzi a cup. He ordered a cup of tea and said: "Come, come, come, the best Longjing."
Xiaoluzi's face drooped. She did not take the tea cup from Chu Sheng's hand, but looked helpless. She said, "Obviously, your Majesty's civilian wife has no hands free now."
"Hahaha! You are poor!" Chu Sheng laughed again and said, "I'm not telling you to drink it with your hands. Come on, it's really delicious!"
Afterwards, Xiaolu slowly sat down. She took the hot tea in his hand, first put it under her nose and sniffed it gently, then she gently placed it in her mouth, sipped it slowly, and found that the taste was After she was satisfied, she gently put down the tea cup and asked: "You must have called me here in such a hurry because you were looking for the tea leaves. I observed it when I came here just now. You are very vigorous today." , tell me quickly, Mr. Asheng, what good thing has happened to you?"
"What a great thing!" Chu Sheng said in a cryptic way.
"Oh?" Xiaoluzi smiled, "Please tell me and listen."
"Let me tell you, it's a good thing." Chu Sheng smiled, but didn't say it out loud.
Xiao Luzi was so anxious that he quickly asked: "What is it?"
"You are about to get married." Chu Sheng suddenly laughed, "Hahaha!"
"What?" Xiaoluzi blinked helplessly. In order to judge whether she heard correctly, she said, "Say it to me again."
"You are getting married." Chu Sheng repeated again.
Hearing this, Xiaoluzi also laughed. Fortunately, Chu Sheng could say this. She picked up the teapot that Chu Sheng loved and poured tea into his cup. I still remember mumbling: "Getting married, getting married, why didn't you say I became a god! Wow! A good thing that you don't encounter once in eight hundred years is about to happen to me. I'm so excited and emotional!"
"Okay, okay." Chu Sheng begged for mercy, "To tell you seriously, I think it would be quite convenient for you to get married and for me to abdicate."
Um
Xiaoluzi put the teapot on the table with a vigorous shake, then she patted the tea table in front of her with both hands and asked: "Your Majesty, you are drunk from drinking tea, what are you talking about? Could it be that I haven't woken up from a dream, or that I died on the battlefield today? I wonder if it's not completely dark yet, so why did you start dreaming?"
No, no, Xiaoluzi still felt something was wrong. She pinched her thigh hard with her fingers. After finding that she couldn't feel anything, she began to reflect that it was not because she was too tired and fell asleep. But when she thought about her legs, she had already fallen asleep. It was useless, so she pinched her arm hard with her fingers.
Maybe he used too much force, and Xiao Luzi screamed out all of a sudden.
"Ah! It hurts!"
Chu Sheng looked at Xiaoluzi's weird behavior inexplicably, and then shook his head and smiled, and said: "Xiaoluzi, I am serious. Today, the local camp sent someone to say that if my Chu family gives up this world, what will happen if the Chu family gives up this world? If you marry Lu Yi, Qianfu's army will withdraw. If the world can be unified, I think my sacrifice is worth it."
It turned out to be because of this.
Xiaoluzi thought to himself that such an unreasonable request must have been made by one of those people. Could it be that the other party didn't want revenge, so they came up with such a best-of-both-worlds solution for them, but is it realistic
"Your Majesty, let me ask you." Xiao Luzi pointed at Chu Sheng's nose and said, "Use your nose to think about whether this matter is realistic or not. First, let's talk from your perspective. , your Chu family's abdication does not mean that you abdicate alone. After you abdicate, there will be a bunch of princes and princesses behind you to inherit. But the Chu family is different. I remember that there are countless big families named Chu in this purple capital city, and Do you think the princes, county guards, etc. can compromise?"
Chu Sheng shook his head.
Seeing him like this, Xiaoluzi immediately said: "Since you don't know anything about them, what do you think the result will be? The external war is gone, and the internal strife is coming again. If we abandon If you don’t mention this or that one named Chu, do you think the soldiers of the Manchu Dynasty will agree? Let’s take General Feihu as an example. This general belongs to you from the beginning to the end. Do you think you can say a few words at that time? He wanted to abdicate or something, but he just obeyed? Wow. Are you thinking about it with your nose, is this thing reliable?"
Chu Sheng shook his head and smiled.
He said: "For these things, take your time. You can always convince them. Besides, if this can lead to the unification of the world, why not do it. It will fulfill the wish of our ancestors."
Xiaoluzi shook his head, "Your imagination is really beautiful, extremely beautiful. Then let me ask you, last year, do you still remember, in order to resist us, Liu Quan didn't threaten to give happiness to his people all over the world? A healthy life, what about affluence, but what is the result? His unnatural behavior has caused so many people to still live in a life of water and heat. Utopias will not work. We have to deal with reality. "
Chu Sheng still shook his head and smiled, and said: "Xiao Luzi, what you said makes sense, but with Lu Yi's method, I think his plan is feasible."
feasibility!
Xiaoluzi's eyes suddenly widened.
"You tell me how feasible it is? Wow, Your Majesty. Have you obtained my consent? Let me ask you again, when did I say I wanted to marry him?"
This time Chu Sheng nodded, and he said: "It seems that I have never said that, then Liu Lulu, tell me, who do you want to marry?"
In fact, Chu Sheng still wanted to hear Xiaoluzi's answer here. After all, Shen Jianfeng is no longer here, and this girl is destined to be married. He still wants to understand her thoughts.
"Huh?" Xiaoluzi was even more confused. She said, "Now seems not the time to discuss this issue."
"Come and let me hear it, I will let you make the decision!" Chu Sheng said.
"If that's all you want to ask me today, then I really have to resign, Your Majesty!" Xiaoluzi bared his teeth and said, "You have such illogical ideas, so you should call Mr. Liu Xin to discuss it with you. I don't understand. It's yours. I've said all the good and bad, but I didn't expect you to want to escape."
Escaped
Chu Sheng still smiled after hearing this. In fact, the fateful grudge between his family and the Tongren clan was, in the final analysis, the Chu family owed that clan. Later, he really went to inquire about it and found out the reason.
It turns out that four hundred years ago, Chu Qi stole the scriptures of the Tongren clan, defrauded them of the Jade Blood Sword, which was a world-famous artifact, and finally killed them all. Such a thing, although it is a special occasion, is indeed the inevitable result after the dispute.
But it is obvious that the Chu family's competitiveness is too strong. Generation after generation, it takes a lot of courage and confidence for one of them to survive in such a bad situation.
To be honest, this is what the Chu family owes to the Tongren clan. Even if they exchange their country for it, it would not be a pity.
But the other party was indeed quite generous. At least they didn't say that they would kill everyone like they did to him. At least the other party gave in. The so-called concession was probably when he met this woman with destiny.
The Jade Blood Sword originally belonged to the Lu Zhi family.
After calming down, Chu Sheng explained to Xiao Luzi: "Actually, at first, I always thought that the destiny you brought was to unify our Chu family in political power. Later, I discovered that your appearance would lead to the unification of political power. Due to the emergence of the Tongren clan, when you become more powerful, the Tongren clan becomes stronger. Therefore, your fate is not linked to me, but to him, Liu Lulu. We were all wrong at the beginning. I, the Chu family I am ashamed of the Tongren clan. It is rare that he has such a broad mind and courage to make concessions on the issue of the country. In fact, I am thinking that he has never thought about fighting for power."
What Xiaoluzi didn't expect was that Chu Sheng was already thinking about this issue from Lu Yiyi's perspective. If it was true as he said, the other party would be too miserable.
But in this case, what haunted her was about that dream.
What the person in the dream said, that she was destined to be his wife, now seems to have some clues.
However, she had already gone to court with Shen Jianfeng. Although it was just to make her mother-in-law happy, she always felt that she was a married woman. You can't marry someone else anymore.
"Your Majesty!" Xiaoluzi said: "I will not marry Lu Yiyi. You have made a mistake in your thinking. You are the master of the country. What you need to see is not the love between children, but how to consolidate political power. Moreover, civilian women have always believed that this country was created by fighting, not that you can give it away casually. Now if you ask anyone, they will give the same answer as me. "
"Liu Lulu, what's wrong with you?" Chu Sheng was confused. When he looked at the cold look of the woman in front of him, he suddenly felt unfamiliar. He didn't know what she was going through in her heart at that moment.
Over the years, she had gone through a desperate struggle in her heart before she became what she is now.
He said: "Liu Lulu, your heart is no longer weak."
"It's you who are weak. Your Majesty." Xiaoluzi replied: "You think everything too simply. What I shouldn't say is that you are tired of being on this throne. I have also seen it in my eyes over the years. , especially after what happened with Zi Xu, you regard this position as less important."
She said: "I know you want to live in pastoral happiness. Who in the world doesn't want to? In your position, seek your job."
Everything Xiao Luzi said was reasonable, and there was no reason for Chu Sheng to refute anything.
Finally, he ordered: "Come here, ask the teacher to come over and discuss the matter."
