Hua Rong's eyes also fell on her husband, and she felt a sharp pain in her heart. She was despicable, how could she be despicable? Confront Zhao Deji with his troops? Regardless of the life and death of Zhang Xian and others, they are on the run? Or, without conscience, just defect to Daikin like Li Qiong and others
Jin Wushu pondered for a while, and Hua Rong was very impatient: "Fourth Prince, have you thought clearly? Should you die together with us and your wife, or should you do your best?"
He simply said: "Okay!"
Hua Rong waved his hand and handed over a pill: "In that case, just take it!"
Jin Wushu was furious: "What are you doing?"
"Fourth Prince, my husband and I have paid a heavy price, and we cannot listen to your empty talk. To be honest, this is a chronic poison, and I only have the antidote. When those two conditions are met, you will be safe. "
Behind his back, the cold tip of the spear pressed against his vest. Will he die today or live another day? He no longer hesitated, took the pill and swallowed it in one gulp. When the medicine reached his throat, a faint fishy smell melted instantly, as if the blood in his body suddenly accelerated. He was flustered and furious: "Hua Rong, are you satisfied now?"
Hua Rong nodded.
Jin Wushu looked at the smile on her face fiercely. The graceful singing voice and beautiful smile were all the most vicious venom of the beauty snake, luring you closer and then delivering a fatal blow.
He looked dejected, loosened his vest, moved his spear away, and the woman opposite also put away her bow and arrows, with a hint of playfulness in her expression: "Fourth Prince, you really have to thank Wang Junhua. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't have found you at all. "
Jin Wushu almost spit out blood, turned around, and walked away in large strides.
In the early morning, a palace maid came in and reported to Mrs. Liu: "Ms. Liu, Medical Officer Wang is here to see you."
Little Liu lazily got up from the brocade quilt. After entering the palace, she enjoyed the favor of the special room, but for such a long time, there was still no news about her belly. She bribed Wang Jixian many times, and also searched for secret recipes, just to give birth to a child. The half-daughter ascended the throne of the queen. However, no matter how generous she bribed her, there was nothing Wang Jixian could do. Now I heard that Wang Jixian came to visit, and I was really overjoyed.
She dressed up briefly and went out to meet Wang Jixian.
Wang Jixian beamed with joy: "Ms. Liu, this is a huge happy event."
"Master Wang, where does joy come from?"
"I accidentally found a secret recipe and made a potion that not only nourishes yin and strengthens yang, but also has the miraculous effect of giving birth to children..."
"Really? That's great."
"To be honest, I have been developing this medicine for many years, but because I have never been sure about it, I dare not show it to others easily. I started taking it myself last year, and my two newly married concubines both gave birth to sons..."
It is a fact that Wang Jixian married a concubine and gave birth to a son. When Xiao Liu heard the good news that fell from the sky, she could not believe her ears. She saw Wang Jixian take out a turquoise bottle from his arms, and the concoction inside was crystal clear. At one glance, you can feel its beautiful fragrance, sweetness and deliciousness.
Wang Jixian lowered his voice: "I'd like to teach Madam Liu that you need to be careful in this matter. Madam Zhang, Madam Wu, etc..." He stopped talking, and Xiao Liu naturally understood what he meant. Begging him, naturally he can't reveal it before the matter is completed. But Wang Jixian weighed the importance, Xiao Liu was the favorite in the harem, and was much younger than the other two, and had a greater chance of having children, so he naturally wanted to bet on her. In the future, He himself is a great hero.
Xiao Liu was grateful: "Thank you, Mr. Wang."
"Ms. Liu, this medicine must be taken together with the official to be effective..." He gave detailed instructions on how to take the medicine, and Xiao Liu carefully wrote it down. After Wang Jixian left, she took the medicine bottle and fell in love with it more and more. Hidden firmly in her arms, her position as queen depends entirely on this elixir.
On the table, there is a thick stack of memorials.
Zhao Deji raised his head and looked slyly at Qin Hui, the prime minister who had spoken before him. Over the years since he ascended the throne, he has become well versed in the way of being a king. You must never let your ministers know your truest feelings and let them speculate, so that you can fear the power of God. These things In the year, he changed several prime ministers in a revolving door, thinking that he was enough to manipulate Qin Hui into applause.
Qin Huizhan said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, these are all false accusations against me..."
Zhao Deji picked up a list of papers and put it down again: "It's a false accusation among the people. What's the deal with the word 'favor'?"
Qin Hui was shocked and knelt on the ground: "I am stupid and simple, I really don't know this." At this time, his position was not stable, and he was looking forward to the fourth prince's promise of "lifelong prime minister". He hated Zhao Deji and cursed three generations of his ancestors, but he still couldn't. Instead of groveling, I thought to myself, if I become the "prime minister for life", even if you are the emperor, what are you afraid of doing
Zhao Deji said with a pleasant look: "Qin Qing got up to speak. I won't easily believe the rumors from the outside world."
The word "easily" shocked Qin Hui again. Xie En stood up and carefully weighed his words: "Your Majesty, Yue Peng put the tiger into the box. He has a grudge against his minister, and he is afraid that the dog will jump over the wall..."
"Now that the tiger has entered the cage, it cannot come back. What progress has been made in Zhang Xian's case these days?"
Qin Hui hurriedly responded: "Your Majesty, Yue Pengju's rebellious heart has been clearly exposed. According to the confessions of Wang Jun, Wang Gui and others deployed in his army, he had said many times in the army that Taizu was thirty years old. Jiedushi, he was already a Jiedushi when he was less than 30 years old. Comparing himself to Taizu, or even surpassing Taizu, is a harbinger of rebellion. Zhuxian Town retreated, and he was even more dissatisfied and criticized His Majesty... "The content of the accusation, according to the practice at the time, he naturally could not say out loud, leaving it to Zhao Deji's flawless imagination.
Zhao Deji was the most war-weary. He always believed that he could be the emperor of peace only if he surrendered to Dajin and surrendered to Jiangnan. His fear of the insecurity of the throne brought about by the domineering warriors, especially the Miao and Liu rebellions, had deep-rooted his fear of being forced to abdicate. , no military commander is allowed to have too much prestige or superior achievements to once again perform the scene of his ancestors' "yellow robes".
Qin Hui had already figured out his psychology, and there was no need to bother to collect too much evidence. Just falsely accusing Yue Pengju of "comparing himself to Taizu and serving as a military governor at the age of thirty" was enough to kill him.
"Yue Pengju has been entrenched in the upper reaches for many years. He suppressed Dongting and retreated from the achievements of the Jin army. He was greedy for merit and advanced rashly. He ordered Li Ruoxu and others to act falsely and disobeyed the imperial edict. Everyone knew about his rebellious spirit. He even used the excuse of a fire at home to lie. He claimed that his son was killed by thieves, but in fact, he was sent to a secret stronghold. All these things showed his rebellious spirit to the public... "
Zhao Deji said angrily: "I was magnanimous and gave him a high official and a generous salary. Unfortunately, the martial artist was domineering and showed a ferocious and rebellious appearance. He wrote a letter asking me to protect him. God has the virtue of good life, and I also think about protecting the heroes and show the love between the king and his ministers. , but how can we ignore the ancestral laws of the Song Dynasty? Qin Hui, you immediately ordered Yue Pengju to be imprisoned and delivered to Dali Temple Prison. Since the imperial edict was set up, it was necessary to show it to the world, so that I could protect Yue Pengju without death. You abolished the public law of the world. Get started and wait for my decision..."
Qin Hui listened to the sound and discerned the color, and naturally understood the true intention of Zhao Deji's words, which was to let him free his hands and feet to punish Yue Pengju at will. He was overjoyed and immediately accepted the order: "I will live up to your majesty's trust."
"This matter must be handled before the end of the year. I don't want to delay it until New Year's Eve."
"I will let your majesty have a happy and worry-free Lantern Festival. Yue Pengju, discuss peace and solve the problem together."
"What's the news from the Jin people?"
"The fourth prince is demanding high prices, and he also thinks that the official who negotiated the peace is too low-level, so he is very dissatisfied." He pretended to be angry, "The captives have no faith, and they threatened the Queen Mother..."
Zhao Deji stood up and took a few steps: "Since it is the silk requested by the captives, I have put away all the fine silks brought back by Zhang Jun, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and do not dare to enjoy them easily. Now I can offer them to the captives." …”
Even Qin Hui was surprised. Zhao Deji was so respectful to the enemy who killed his father. He was even willing to offer the finest silks that he could not bear to use to the fourth prince. However, he said: "Your Majesty is so frugal. I, the Song Dynasty, must be ZTE." Soon. Once the peace agreement is concluded, the people will be able to recuperate and recuperate, the Song Dynasty will become stronger and stronger, and your majesty will be remembered for generations to come."
Zhao Deji frowned: "All prerequisites for the peace negotiation are subject to the return of the Queen Mother. Otherwise, everything will be empty talk."
"yes."
Immediately, Qin Hui drafted an official letter for Zhao Deji and sent it to "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince of the Grand Marshal of Jindu." "Idiots and ignorants, misbehaving in things, begging to withdraw the troops first, Xu Yi sent envoys to pay homage to me, and listen to the holy teachings" and so on. Even the Song Dynasty did not dare to call it a "country", and reduced itself to "Yi Kingdom". In the future, Jin Wu Shu personally collected this extremely humiliating letter and felt very proud for some days.
As soon as Qin Hui left, Zhao Deji breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the harem with joy.
Zhang Yingying, Wu Jinnu, Xiao Liu and others were waiting for a banquet. He sat down, put his arms around Xiao Liu and fed each other a sip of wine. He said to himself: "Since I crossed to the south, I have resisted wolves before and welcomed tigers behind. I have been working hard every day and sleeping hard, but now I finally have the hope of becoming an emperor of peace... "
Zhang Yingying and others naturally knew that "wolf" meant that Yue Pengju was doomed. She couldn't continue her words and could only say some praises and flattery to Zhao Deji. Zhao Deji put his arms around a beauty and sighed endlessly: "I only want to have banquets with you every day from now on. No more fighting."
This time, even Wu Jinnu couldn't accept it. Only the little Liu was still toasting enchantingly. After three drinks, Zhao Deji drunkenly hugged the little Liu and walked to her palace. Zhang and Wu looked at each other. At one glance, I felt a kind of contempt for the man I once competed for, but I still didn't dare to show it at all, and I had to pretend to be respectful.
Zhao Deji carried little Liu to the palace. He was drunk and lustful, and little Liu was charming and flattering, with only a gauze dress on his body.
Seeing flowers in the fog a layer away, Xiao Liu always has endless new ways to attract his attention. He felt hot all over and picked up Xiao Liu. He no longer held the fantasy of "throwing away the aphrodisiac" and habitually On the ground, he picked up the medicine on the table and took the aphrodisiac first. Then he saw that the jade cup next to him was like nectar and jade liquid. Xiao Liu took a sip first and then fed him a sip: "Guan, please drink this elixir." medicine… "
Zhao Deji took a sip, but found it neither fishy nor sweet, but fragrant. He couldn't help but drink it all in one sip, and then asked: "Where does this come from?"
Xiao Liu's charming eyes were as silk as silk: "Guan family, this is the elixir that I have found. I just want to give birth to a dragon son for Guan family..."
Zhao Deji was basically disappointed with Xiao Liu's "child-bearing ability", and he only thought that she had heard the folk remedies from somewhere. Zhang, Wu and Liu had all taken the folk remedies many times, but to no avail for many years, and he didn't take it seriously. , casually said, "If Mrs. Liu can give birth to a prince, I will make you queen immediately."
"Thank you for your grace."
