Chapter 73: Why didn't you kill me first?

Views:

However, although Long Xiaoyuan still felt that it was a bit unusual, he sent Liu Xiangyang to investigate and found out that this incident was just a coincidence! Liu Xiangyang checked several times, and even asked some people separately, but the result was the same.

In the end, Long Xiaoyuan had to come to the conclusion that he was worrying too much about this matter!

After finishing the matter in the imperial study, Long Xiaoyuan thought that Shi Qingzhou could not finish the matter quickly.

So, I drank a cup of tea slowly, and thought about a few more countermeasures for the guarding and security of Kunning Palace, and ordered the shadow guards to carry it out before leaving.

There are guards at the Kunning Palace during the day, but the shadow guards are generally not there.

And the guards didn't dare to stop Concubine Shan openly, because their identities were not enough.

But if it is a shadow guard, the shadow guard's action represents the emperor, and his identity is definitely enough to stop anyone!

Long Xiaoyuan clearly sent two shadow guards to Kunning Palace.

The changing of the guard at twelve hours every day will definitely not let Kunning Palace have such a thing as an empty window again.

After finishing these, Long Xiaoyuan went back to Shi Qingzhou's place, but Shi Qingzhou hadn't come back as expected.

On the contrary, the eunuchs and maids sent by Shi Qingzhou to work have returned.

Long Xiaoyuan also inquired, but found nothing abnormal.

Obviously, Liu Xiangyang also said that there was nothing abnormal, but for some reason, these many "normals" added together, Long Xiaoyuan still felt that it was not normal. Could it be that he had persecution paranoia

Or is it true that emperors have been suspicious since ancient times

In the end, Long Xiaoyuan had to sigh.

Shi Qingzhou didn't answer, Long Xiaoyuan took a rest for a while.

Finally, when Long Xiaoyuan woke up, Shi Qingzhou came back!

"The emperor is tired?" Shi Qingzhou looked at Long Xiaoyuan who was resting and asked immediately.

Long Xiaoyuan shook his head. "That's not true, it's just that you're not around, no one talks to me, I'm a little bored, by the way, how are you doing?"

Shi Qingzhou smiled. "The initial effect is not bad, but talent is not something that can be achieved overnight. But I have already got a little bit of information I want."

"Oh?" Long Xiaoyuan was really surprised and admired his queen too much.

"Just so good at kung fu, you subdued people?"

Shi Qingzhou smiled slightly. "It's actually much easier to talk to smart people, but you have to have the strength to control them, otherwise, you will backfire."

Long Xiaoyuan was silent for a while, then waved his hands. "My Qingzhou is definitely the smartest person in the world, so I don't need to worry about backlash."

Shi Qingzhou looked at Long Xiaoyuan with a half-smile. "The emperor has so much confidence in me?"

"Of course!" Long Xiaoyuan nodded vigorously. "If I don't even have confidence in my light boat, who else in this world can I have confidence in?"

Long Xiaoyuan's love story... Although it is a bit exaggerated, but I have to say that the effect is not bad, Shi Qingzhou still prefers to listen to it.

Long Xiaoyuan was very satisfied with this.

Two days later, Hu Qingyuan arrived.

It can also be said that Hu Qingyuan rushed here from the local area, because of Long Xiaoyuan's transfer order.

However, because the emperor's order was actually accompanied by the secret words of the queen Shi Qingzhou, so Hu Qingyuan came here willingly.

The people of the world know what kind of person this Long Xiaoyuan was before, and the officials of the world know even more.

Hu Qingyuan naturally knew it too!

If it wasn't for the emperor's stupidity, the rejection of his officials, and his own bad temper, which is unwilling to change his principles, otherwise, how could he be in this state with his third best grade in the imperial examination

If it wasn't for this, he wouldn't have been chilled by the emperor, and then... well, he accepted the queen's solicitation.

He knows about the relationship between the queen and the emperor...

In fact, Hu Qingyuan was never an idiot. He had already prepared for the worst, that is, one day the queen would replace the emperor.

When that day comes, Cheng, he will be the hero of the new emperor.

If not, then he will be punished by the Nine Clans!

These, in fact, he knows. Fortunately, although he has a family background, he is not a family member of the clan.

His family has a simple population, his old mother has passed away, he has only his wife and only son, and when the time comes, if that day really comes, regardless of success or failure, he will settle his wife and children first.

Let his wife and children go to a distant country, and live a lifetime incognito...

These, in fact, he has considered.

In fact, these days, he has also heard some rumors that the emperor suddenly favored the empress, and even learned that the empress actually became a general and led troops to go out!

For this reason, Hu Qingyuan was actually worried. He felt that such a sudden favor was actually a sign that the queen was a smart person, and he must know it.

Even, when the queen went out, he was ready. That is, the Shi family will lead the army to rebel!

However, what he didn't expect was that the queen had really set a but, and then returned to Beijing in such a surprise!

And now, looking at how the emperor and the empress live in harmony... Could it be that these two supreme beings really came together

is it possible

For a moment, many flashes flashed in Hu Qingyuan's heart, but in the end it became calm.

Long Xiaoyuan met Hu Qingyuan in the imperial study, and Shi Qingzhou was also there.

From some interactions between the two, Hu Qingyuan felt that... the relationship between the two seems to be really good!

For example, the queen will grind the emperor's ink.

For example, the emperor didn't notice that the tea in the emperor's cup was gone, but the queen had already filled it up for him.

For example, when the empress stood there for a long time, the emperor immediately asked her to sit down and moved the chair himself.

For example, the queen did not drink tea, the emperor seemed to be afraid that the other party would be thirsty, so he handed over his cup to the other party, and the queen, he took it very naturally and drank it...

All these things show that the emperor and the empress have a very good relationship! really good!

The above, this is what Hu Qingyuan discovered by himself when he was debriefing...

In the end, Hu Qingyuan left almost in a daze.

Long Xiaoyuan smiled and looked at the back of Hu Qingyuan leaving, "Qingzhou, I have a deep impression of this man's city, how could he be so excluded by his colleagues?"

Shi Qingzhou smiled slightly. "It's not that he doesn't know how to chat with people, but there are some principles that no one can change."

"For example?" Long Xiaoyuan became interested. Looking at this Hu Qingyuan, he seemed to be doing a good job.

He obviously had some doubts about the authenticity of their relationship, but he did not show any signs of it.

He was obviously shocked, but he recovered quickly, and at least he looked calm on the surface.

The most important thing is that he was able to behave calmly under such a shock, and the other party could answer some of the questions he asked very well, and it can be said that there was no mistake or omission in the process of debriefing.

"You are the emperor, so naturally you don't think there is any problem. But... if your boss is going to celebrate his birthday, but you go to the banquet with ease, why don't you prepare anything as a matter of course?"

"Eh?" Long Xiaoyuan was taken aback.

Shi Qingzhou smiled again. "If your boss and an ordinary citizen are in danger at the same time and are almost startled by the wild horse, you have the time and ability to drag him, at least you can avoid the impact of the wild horse in the face, you choose to drag the people without hesitation, let Your boss almost died under the horse's hooves?"

"Eh..." Long Xiaoyuan blinked and touched his nose.

Shi Qingzhou smiled slightly again, with a calm and clear look on his face. "If you and your colleagues have made an appointment to go out for a drink, but your colleague has set the place for the drink to be in Hualou, and you leave with a merciless frown, you won't stay even if your colleagues ask you to stay?" Long Xiao Yuan touched his chin, imagined the scene, and smiled.

Shi Qingzhou sighed, "If your colleagues have something to offer, they will take it into their pockets. It's not too much, it's not a petty profit, but you are also involved, but you are selfless, not at all. Take, and the salary that will be issued will often help the poor people?"

Long Xiaoyuan fell silent.

Shi Qingzhou lightly touched Long Xiaoyuan's hand with his fingers. "Leaving aside the identity of a generation of emperors and emperors, you are just an ordinary minister. Do you like such a person?"

Long Xiaoyuan took a deep look at Shi Qingzhou, and then smiled wryly: "Indeed, only Ming Jun likes such a good official, and only a good boss who likes him and can appreciate the other party can make him stand out. And I was not such an emperor in the past...

...

Shi Qingzhou smiled slightly, and said softly: "From before, the emperor has indeed... changed a lot."

Long Xiaoyuan sighed.

Shi Qingzhou said softly again: "Your Majesty, may I know the reason for your change...?"

"Can Qingzhou believe in Huangliang Yimeng?" Long Xiaoyuan knew that sooner or later he would talk to Shi Qingzhou about this issue. He used the original owner's body and had all the memories of the original owner, so he didn't worry about others suspecting that he was a fake .

But the accident style of him in the past and his current style are indeed too different, so sooner or later, this matter will be brought up.

Especially he and Shi Qingzhou, they have promised each other for a lifetime, so naturally they will talk about this matter.

Others are worried about his reputation as a tyrant and may not come to make trouble, but Shi Qingzhou is different.

Therefore, Long Xiaoyuan himself had already made preparations, and he had already thought about what to say.

Since Shi Qingzhou said it today, he also said what he had prepared.

However, it is just rhetoric, in fact, apart from concealing the things of the previous life and the novel, there is nothing else.

What happened in his previous life was too illusory, Long Xiaoyuan didn't want to talk about it, he couldn't talk about it, and he didn't want to hurt Shi Qingzhou.

It's not distrust, but... There is no need to burden the other party with anything.

What's more, all the previous injuries are still there, he doesn't think he has nothing to do with the original owner, do you want to say that I am not him, and all the injuries you suffered were all for nothing

He did not want! He would rather believe that that person is actually another self, but maybe the soul is not complete, which is why he is so cruel, and his arrival has completely fused the soul, so he has returned to his true self.

He likes Shi Qingzhou, so he wants the other party to belong to him only from beginning to end! He is alone!

"Huangliang Yimeng?" Shi Qingzhou was slightly taken aback, but he didn't expect this answer.

"Yes." Long Xiaoyuan smiled lightly, and fixed his eyes on Shi Qingzhou.

"It's time for Qingzhou to find out. I changed so suddenly."

Shi Qingzhou was silent, and nodded after a while. "So, I've always been a little puzzled."

Long Xiaoyuan smiled wryly again. "Don't say it's you, I guess many people are very confused now?"

Shi Qingzhou paused.

Long Xiaoyuan stretched out his hand, and lightly brushed Shi Qingzhou's cheek with his palm.

Shi Qingzhou let the opponent move.

After a while, Long Xiaoyuan opened his mouth slowly. "The night I lived in my bedroom... I had a dream."

"What dream?" Shi Qingzhou asked immediately.

"I dreamed... I lost the hearts of the people because of my cruelty... I was close to courtiers and alienated from virtuous ones. I dreamed that your father did not rebel, but I believed him to rebel because of other people's rumors, and, I For the sake of the little selfishness in my heart, taking away your father's military power is not counted, and I will also kill all of your Shi family!"

Shi Qingzhou was shocked violently, and his pupils shrank violently.

Long Xiaoyuan looked at Shi Qingzhou fixedly, and then continued: "I dreamed that you were cornered by me...and rebelled."

Shi Qingzhou was shocked again.

"I was killed by you, you ascended the throne and proclaimed the emperor, and changed from being incompetent when I was there, you governed the world very well... But, no matter whether it is ascending the throne and proclaiming the emperor, marrying the queen, or establishing a concubine, etc. I never saw you smile again. At that time, I became a ghost after death. I don’t know why I can’t go to hell, but I can only follow you. I just follow you... I saw your life... that life... you didn’t laugh Pass."

In that novel, Shi Qingzhou ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. Although he had one empress, four concubines and three Zhaoyi, even on the day of his wedding, he never laughed, no, it should be said that he never really laughed.

He even ordered the whole country not to mention male pets again... This matter is also the only "stupid" thing Shi Qingzhou has done.

It was a book written from the perspective of Empress Shi Qingzhou. When the Shi family was still there, no matter how much Long Xiaoyuan treated him badly and humiliated him, but when he saw his father a few times, He still laughs.

He still laughs when he thinks of his mother.

But after that, after the Shi family was gone, even though he ascended the throne, he married many women soon afterwards.

Although those women have extraordinary identities and backgrounds, they don't have much emotional drama with Shi Qingzhou.

There seems to be a sentence in that novel: If the gentle and elegant queen has become an iron-blooded emperor, she will have no tears, no smiles, no pain, no love. But it was precisely because of this personality that many women came up like moths to a flame, wanting to conquer this iron-blooded man.

Shi Qingzhou will marry those women for the stability of the court.

But is it true love for those women? Obviously not... How could it be possible to fall in love with a woman so easily after seeing so many scheming women in the harem, let alone... he was once a queen.

Although Long Xiaoyuan fabricated the ghost's lie, otherwise he would not be able to explain how he knew what happened to "himself" after death, but the rest are all true.

"Qingzhou, I have followed you all my life, and seeing that you have never laughed again, I know how stupid I was before. I have been too much to you and the people. I have been with you all my life, watching you work hard...Qingzhou, I regret, I'm ashamed... When I woke up from that sleep, when I realized that what I was dreaming was just a dream, I didn't kill your whole family, and you didn't kill me... Then I wanted to change our relationship."

Shi Qingzhou pursed his lips tightly, looked at Long Xiaoyuan, and asked softly. "Since you dreamed that you died at my hands...why didn't you kill me first when you woke up from the dream?"
