Devil’s Advent

v3 Chapter 267: Qingming (Part 1)

Ching Ming,

Light rain.

During the rainy season, like a sentimental soft-water woman, she pauses, takes care of three times, looks forward and looks back;

It's like covering this sky curtain with a thin rain gauze,

It moistened a group of people and bored a city.

In the Yuxin Palace of the Empress Dowager, the green in the pond is already as if it were.

Unlike other aristocrats who like extravagance, the Queen Mother of Chu has always been a simple temperament. Every winter, there are always one or two conservatory yards in the mansions of the great aristocrats of Chu. The four seasons are like spring, but the Queen Mother of Chu does not. So happy.

In her words,

This person,

Getting older,

I am thinking more and more about the changes in spring, summer, autumn and winter;

I was ignorant when I was young, feeling unconscious in adulthood, and having no time when I was old, until I was old and suddenly looking back, I was surprised that I had missed so much.

This spring, summer, fall and winter, each swing is like an extra layer carved on the bluestone pillars. One eye is missing, and the other is short. The warm room is comfortable, but it seems to be picked up. Sesame lost the watermelon, and made himself a fool who is imprisoned in a deep palace regardless of the four seasons. Why bother?

The queen mother was sitting under the cornice, holding the soup drink in her hand, and from time to time she picked up the spoon, took two bites, and then took a look at the mist in the yard.

Outside the Yuxin Palace, the Five Highness Xiong Tingshan was wearing a red python robe, looking inside from time to time, but did not dare to go in. Behind him, there was a woman wearing a beautiful makeup.

There is a kind of **** lady around, no one dared to talk too much, all of them bowed their heads, in broad daylight, as if they had been covered in a curtain of light rain.

The position of the prince is certainly respected, but just a newly promoted king prince will not make these eunuchs and palace ladies so cautious.

In fact, the Five Highnesses guarded Wutong County for so many years, and Ying Du has actually been circulating stories about the Five Highnesses.

Some people say that he and the Shanyue people have an alliance of blood, eating human flesh and drinking human blood, the sharp heart and liver of the sixteen girls who like the most, cut off the wine;

It was also said that the Shanyue woman next to him had to find a Chu boyfriend every night. Fortunately, when he came, he had to cut down the work underneath, soaking in wine, and begging to stay young forever.

In short, these rumors come from how disgusting people come, and how people fear them.

No one deliberately spread this,

But in Da Chu,

The Chu people's contempt for the Shanyue people has long been inscribed in their bones.

Just as Yan people look at savages, Jin people look at savages, in fact, what they look at is not humans at all, but beasts.

Because of this, the five highnesses who called the brothers and sisters of the Shanyue people and also married the Shanyue people's wives are naturally as terrifying as they are in the folk image.

At this time, a young **** rushed over and saluted Xiong Tingshan:

"The slave sees the prince, the prince, and your majesty dictates that you should go first to meet the queen mother and her old man. Your majesty has been delayed in the South Study.

"This……"

If it weren't for being in the palace at this time, Xiong Tingshan would really want to curse his fourth brother.

But no way,

Xiong Tingshan could only tidy up his clothes one last time, then turned around to help his wife tidy up.

Unlike her husband’s "horror and trembling", his wife looked generous and generous. This woman named Wu Tingting in the summer was born in the Wujiang tribe of Shanyue. The tribe has a population of 70-80,000. She is considered to be a relatively strong Shanyue tribe in Wutong County. .

"I'll see the elderly queen mother later, so I have to behave a little bit." Xiong Tingshan reminded carefully.

"Msang Gong, you have said this from last night to now."

"Ha ha."

Xiong Tingshan nodded, pointed to the **** next to him, and motioned him to pass the pass.

The **** trot in immediately,

For a while,

There was a shout from inside:

"The Queen Mother has a purpose and declares that the Prince will enter."

Xiong Tingshan breathed a long sigh of relief and led his wife into the inner courtyard of Yuxin Palace.

On the steps of the inner courtyard, the empress dowager could not wait to stand up and looked at Xiong Tingshan who came here.

"Chen Xiong Tingshan, I have seen the Empress Dowager, Queen Mother Fukang!"

Wu Tingting also knelt down: "Queen Mother Fukang."

"All come in and talk, don't let the rain wet your clothes."

The queen mother did not speak too much, and went straight into the hall, Xiong Tingshan stood up, and everyone entered the hall;

The Queen Mother sits in the first seat, Xiong Tingshan and Wu Tingting sit in the lower right seat.

Own maid served tea and snacks.

Wu Tingting had been waiting outside with her husband for a long time before. She entered the palace early and didn't eat a few bites for lunch. She was really hungry now, so you're welcome, she reached out and took the snack on the plate and ate it.

This kind of behavior is a bit rude,

after all,

The food served and placed on some occasions is not for eating, but for decoration.

When the queen mother saw this, she smiled and said, "Looking at the five sons' family eating so sweetly, the Ai's family is also a bit greedy."

immediately,

The queen mother reached out and picked up a snack and took a small bite.

After sitting down, Xiong Tingshan's eyes were a little red, and he said;

"Queen dowager, the five sons miss your old man."

The queen mother picked up the veil, wiped the corners of her mouth, and said with a smile:

"Why do you want to mourn your family, do you want to be beaten?"

"I really want to be beaten by you."

"Bone, the same as when I was a kid."

"That is."

When he was a child, Xiong Tingshan's mother and concubine were humble, so don't even talk about disciplining the children, and sometimes they dare not speak loudly.

At that time, the queen mother was the seat of the noble concubine. In the harem, her position was respected, and she often flogged Xiong Tingshan.

This is not an abuse,

But sometimes when Xiong Tingshan and his fourth brother went to the Queen Mother’s Palace to eat together, they saw Xiong Tingshan sitting there conscientiously, and the Queen Mother would order the **** to pick him up with vines. As a prince, how could this sitting posture be so cowardly?

For example, when I heard the arrangement of the subordinates in other places, I felt aggrieved, hiding and crying beside the rockery, and was seen by the queen mother who passed by. After asking the reason, the queen mother asked the surrounding eunuchs to throw Xiong Tingshan into the cold winter. In the pond.

"Crying, crying, crying, you know crying, you are the prince, and you have the blood of fire and phoenix on your body. You can actually bully your subordinates to your head. Don’t you like to cry? Just cry in this pool !"

The next day, the fifth prince beat up several palace ladies and eunuchs who had said bad things about themselves and their concubine, and threw them into the pool.

As a result, this matter spread out, and was included in a book by foreign ministers, saying that there is no way for the five to abuse the prince.

Chu Huang didn't like his son very much, so he punished him heavily, and at the same time, his mother and concubine were cut off for half a year because they had nowhere to go.

then,

His Highness Five was called by the Queen Mother again, tied to the big tree in Yuxin Palace and drew more than a dozen whips.

"Idiot, you can make this situation when you take a few hands and clean up a few people, and your mother and concubine are also involved. Are you filled with paste in your mind!"

For a long time,

The five princes are actually transparent people in the palace.

There are rumors in the palace that the imperial concubine at that time, now the empress dowager, disliked this humble birth five prince the most, and often used lessons to punish him physically.

But only the fifth prince himself knew that at that time, there was an elder who was willing to teach himself, and was willing to teach himself, and even... was willing to beat himself, how difficult it was.

Later, after the crowning, the Emperor Chu directly sent the son who looked annoying to him to Wutong County. At that time, the Shanyue people in Wutong County often rebelled and would attack the county city at all times, and threw the five princes over. , That is, I want him to fend for himself.

The so-called tiger poison does not eat children in the royal family, it is not true, because if some special circumstances are excluded, the emperor's sons are generally not few.

Everything is subject to the law of scarcity, and if there are more sons, it is worthless.

After going to Wutong County, the five princes would send their meticulously prepared Wutong County specialty products to Yingdu every year. Every time they had two copies, one for their mother and concubine, and one for the queen mother.

Later, when his mother and concubine passed away, the five princes requested orders to return to Yingdu for funeral, but the Chu emperor deprived them of their filial piety on the grounds that the situation in Wutong County was not bad.

Finally, the empress dowager at that time asked the four princes to handle the funeral affairs for the five princes and concubines on the grounds that the relationship between the four princes and their concubines was indispensable.

At the beginning of last month,

The fifth prince Xiong Tingshan personally presented himself in Wutong County and asked the regent to be crowned the emperor and succeed the emperor.

This move marked the recognition and support of Wutong County and a group of forces represented by Wutong County for the legitimacy of the Regent.

Among the ruling and opposition parties of the Chu Kingdom, some people believed that the Five Highnesses, seeing that the regent is now the prevailing situation, was unwilling to hit the stone with the pebbles, so they chose to give in;

Some people also believed that the five princes were after all the imperial sons, and they did not want Chu State to continue its internal consumption, and chose the Gongxin Body State.

In fact, there are both, and there is one more thing. Xiong Tingshan didn't tell anyone that he owed the queen mother, he had to pay it back.

"I can't move, I can't move."

The queen mother smiled and waved, and continued:

"A few of your brothers have grown up, have married wives and have children. The Aijia just wants to fight, and I can't do it. Secondly, people don't dare to attack you."

"Queen dowager, the five sons are thinking about your whip."

"Mean bones, mean bones, look at you, what do you say in front of your daughter-in-law, let your daughter-in-law listen to it, thinking that Ai's family was so harsh on you when you were young."

Wu Tingting heard the words, put down the food in her hand, and said:

"The empress dowager, how dare I think like this, he is at home, but he keeps talking about the kindness of the empress dowager to him, and tells the children that they still have a grandma in Ying."

The queen mother turned her gaze on Wu Tingting. This woman from the Shanyue tribe seemed so out of place in the palace where the rules were greater than the sky, and she revealed a wildness and untamableness on her body.

It is said that when the fifth prince first arrived in Wutong County, if he hadn't met this woman, he might have died long ago.

"But is it called Tingting?"

"is my name."

The eunuchs and palace ladies on the side lowered their heads, not daring to show any other expressions.

Xiong Tingshan licked his lips. His wife did not like to behave like this.

"It's a good shelf."

"Yes, my mother said that to me."

The queen mother pointed her finger at her and said:

"When you choose your daughter into the palace for your majesty, you have to help you choose, you have to choose yours. My grandsons are a little fragile and frail. I'm sorry, but I want to hold a knot. A sturdy grandson."

Taking a woman from the Wujiang family into the palace was originally one of the agreements reached between the regent and the fifth prince.

Wu Tingting stretched out her hand and patted her chest, and said boldly: "Don't worry, the queen mother, wrap it around me, she will definitely choose a big hip for the regent."

"Yes, yes, so choose, so choose."

Chu aristocrats tended to be feminine in their aesthetics, preferably those with a petite figure and a graceful waist.

"How about the children in your family, why didn't they bring them into the palace and show them to Ai's family?" the queen mother asked.

Wu Tingting replied: "The queen mother, they all clamored to come into the palace to see their grandma, but my family said that they didn't understand the rules and disturbed you, so they didn't bring them into the palace."

Xiong Tingshan supported his forehead,

If you have a mother who doesn't understand the rules, it's fine. If you come with a few small monkeys, then Yuxin Palace will really be completely unruly.

The queen mother glared at Xiong Tingshan, and said, "This man is old, getting old, and most afraid of being deserted. Next time I bring it into the palace, it will make me lively and lively here."

Xiong Tingshan smiled and said: "This is natural, and the five sons also want to let them come to the queen mother and let the queen mother help teach and teach."

"Don't don't don't."

The queen mother hurriedly waved,

Then he covered his chest with the other hand and said:

"The Ai's family has already taught such a good girl, but she dare not mistake her children anymore."

Xiong Liqing, the princess of the Great Chu, took the initiative to embrace Yan Guo's Ping Ye uncle during the Qu family's wedding, and instead of rushing out of the Bieyuan to enter the Yan.

This move caused an uproar in Chu State.

Chu people feel that this is a great shame to themselves!

Of course, the biggest victim is Qu's.

Although the royal family immediately married another princess and gave it to another child of Qu's family. Qu's family immediately vowed to continue to support the regent, and everyone announced the political signal that they would continue to cooperate, but everyone understood that Qu. This time, he really lost his face.

When Wu Tingting heard this, she said directly:

"Queen Mother, this is wrong."

"No?" The Queen Mother was a little puzzled.

"I think the princess is doing the right thing. Just imagine a man who dares to run to an enemy country at great risk and take himself away at a wedding surrounded by heavy soldiers;

Such affection, such heart,

How many women in this world can not be moved by it? "

The Queen Mother was speechless for a while, because she found that she didn't seem to be able to communicate with this woman from the Shanyue ethnic group very well.

Wu Tingting looked at her husband sitting next to her, and continued:

"At the beginning, my father wanted me to be betrothed to the young patriarch of a neighboring tribe. It was him, and he brought two of his men into my tribe and asked my father to marry me to him."

Xiong Tingshan continued to help.

Seeing the Queen Mother's eyes fell on her again,

Xiong Tingshan could only say:

"This, young and frivolous, young and frivolous."

Isn't it just being young and frivolous, but being young is good.

Wu Tingting continued: "At that time, he was **** by my dad, but he still shouted my name to prevent me from marrying others. At that time, the entire tribe was shocked by him. .

In the end, I had to cry and beg my dad, my dad spared him and let him go back. "

The queen mother nodded and asked: "What about afterwards?"

"Later I packed up my bags, escaped from the tribe, and went to find him under the county town. His tossing, I became famous in my tribe and the surrounding tribes. Besides him, I can still marry him. Who?

Therefore, after marrying him, I desperately gave him a baby and a baby, and took revenge on him! "

"Hahaha."

The queen mother was really amused.

"Okay, it turns out that the roots are from her fifth brother."

The regent came from outside.

The surrounding court ladies and eunuchs knelt together:

"See His Majesty the Regent."

"Chen, see Your Majesty."

"Erchen, please peace to the queen mother, and the queen mother is well-being."

The queen mother glanced at her son, and said: "The old five, accompany Ai's family for a walk in the garden, here, let them speak between men."

"Yes, Queen Mother."

Soon, there were only the regent and the five princes left in the hall, and even the eunuchs consciously went outside to wait.

The regent looked at the fifth highness,

Road:

"So, Liqing learned from her fifth brother, right?"

Xiong Tingshan only promised in front of the dowager, and in front of his fourth brother, there was no previous restraint. Hearing this, he just smiled and said:

"This can't rely on me, but I heard that you were with him at the beginning of the fourth brother. When the two of us were competing on the riverside, didn't he just watch it by the side?"

"Ugh."

The regent sighed.

Road:

"Who knows."

"Four brother really didn't notice it?"

The regent shook his head, nodded again, and said:

"I don't think he is like Su Mingzhe, but I think he should be a real talent from Qianguo, but I didn't expect that he was Zheng Fan.

If I knew it was Zheng Fan,

I just..."

"How about the fourth brother?"

"I directly regretted my marriage to the Qu family. If he likes Liqing and Liqing also likes him, then let them get married in Da Chu."

"If Sister Lijing hears this, tsk tsk..."

"On the Qu's side, I have already comforted me, and there won't be any major incidents. You rate Wutong County to be attached. This great Chu is already in my favor.

For the monarch, he must put centralization first, and the Qu family dare not take this head, nor will it take such a head. "

"The Qu family doesn’t need to care about it. Qu Tiannan didn’t. The Qu family’s status has actually been lowered. Brother, what we have to do now is to reorganize the imperial imperial army. The forehead is on."

"I also understand, but I have to do it step by step. To govern a big country is like cooking a small fresh food. I can't rush it. For the banned army, I am determined to let you take the task.

Beat the tiger brothers. "

"The younger brother will not let the fourth brother down."

"Oh, by the way, Nian Yao has already returned. I met him at the Nanshufang before, and now I am waiting outside.

Come here, go and invite the young general in. "

"Yes, Your Majesty."

quickly,

Nian Yao walked in,

"The slave pleases your majesty and the fifth master."

According to the rules, talents in the family are called minions, and foreigners call themselves ministers.

Although Nian Yao was an outstanding general outside, he had to call himself a slave in front of the regent because he was a domestic slave.

Of course, claiming to be a slave is not a purely contemptuous name. In fact, many people want to be a "slave" and are not available.

The regent pointed to Nian Yao who was kneeling on the ground and said to His Royal Highness:

"Fifth brother, do you know what folds this thing delivered to me last month? In the folds, this minion actually dared to suggest that I change the Qu's Qingluan army to Zhennanguan;

What else to say, the Qu family will inevitably make every effort to ensure that Zhennan Pass is not lost. "

Xiong Tingshan touched his head and laughed loudly:

"Hahaha, you minion, you're too courageous, and you don't want to bury you like this, what's the matter, let the Qu family go to Zhennanguan to reunite with the family over there?"

"The slave dare not." Nian Yao said grievously.

"Heh, there are things that your young general dare not dare to. What is your intention in this fold? You know, if I really do this, then the Qu family will suffer such a big humiliation, because you don't want to turn it back, you must turn it back! "

"The minion deserves to die, the minion deserves to die!"

"Hey hey, don't kowtow in a hurry, Nian Yao, let me ask you, how does it feel to play against that Yan Ren Nanhou?"

Nian Yao immediately cried and said:

"But I scared the minion to death."

"Humph."

The regent snorted coldly.

Xiong Tingshan said roundly: "Okay, it's okay, but it's a good deal to make a crying face."

The regent closed his eyes and said with emotion:

"Li Qing ran away with the surname Zheng. Of course, I made Da Chu very passive, but after all, it was impossible to shake Da Chu to the root. If my Da Chu can't leave Zhennan Pass from the north, I have to be kept by Jingnan, Jinan. The army is pressing down.

Although the Ganren is making a lot of noise~lightnovelpub.net~, it is just thunder and rain. The Yanren has become a big trend. Now it really depends on the Yanren himself, how long he can stretch. "

"Four brothers don’t worry. Since ancient times, there has been no constant strong power. Eight hundred years ago, the great summer was ascending as the sun. Doesn’t it mean that if you die, you will die? I think that the Yan State is now so powerful that the imaginary fire has to take over. Four or five points, let's see how long his firewood can add."

"But after all, it was unhappy and very profitable. I actually invited Zheng Fan to drink."

"Hahaha, isn't it considered that the older brother invited sister-in-law to drink the meeting wine in advance?"

The regent stared at Xiong Tingshan, but Xiong Tingshan didn't care, and continued to laugh.

Nian Yao, who was kneeling on the ground, also smiled in agreement with "hahaha".

When the regent saw this, he kicked it directly.

Nian Yao didn't dare to bear the force, let alone mobilize the blood in his body to carry this foot, so he was kicked around the gourd, and then immediately knelt back to the place.

"Smile, smile, isn't your young general and Zheng Fan named as the four young generation's seeds of the current generation of famous generals? Well, now his Zheng Fan came to my Da Chu to abduct my Da Chu princess. When will the general go to the country of Yan to abduct me a princess!"

Upon hearing this, Nian Yao immediately revealed a bitter face, and said aggrieved:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Minion, Minion can't do it."

When the regent heard this, he kicked it again.

The general Nian hit the gourd in place again,

After kneeling back, he continued:

"Your Majesty, Minion, Minion really can't do it."

"Something worthless," the regent cursed.

Nian Yao was very wronged,

Road:

"Your Majesty, the slaves have to abduct if they want to abduct, but the Emperor Yan is all a son, and he didn't have a daughter."
