Chapter 200 Chapter 200: Xiaocheng Rebellion (Forty) [Two in One]
Zheng Qiao didn't care about the rebellion of the two kings.
These two are just his defeated generals.
The loser who survives only by his kindness!
If you can win once, you will naturally win a second time.
What really makes Zheng Qiao angry is that among the rebels who participated in the rebellion, there are his confidants! His capable ministers and generals actually chose to betray him, betray his trust, and turn to his enemies!
This is what Zheng Qiao cannot tolerate!
All the confidants he personally promoted are like this, then——
Zheng Qiao’s eyes with murderous intent swept across the ministers below, and every courtier who was targeted was like this. The awns were on their backs and they could not sit still. There seemed to be a faint wind hovering around their fragile necks, and it was as if they were being stared at by poisonous snakes.
He pressed his white lips tightly, and the violent and bloodthirsty murderous intention rushed through Zheng Qiao's chest, eagerly seeking a breakthrough.
"Do you have any countermeasures now?"
Every word is filled with venom that is blood-sealing.
The atmosphere was so solid that it was suffocating.
A few of the weaker officials almost fainted and held their breath, and the better ones were as white as snow. Seeing this, Zheng Qiao, who was furious one breath ago, suddenly laughed like a spring flower in the next breath, stood up and walked to the side of the white-haired official who was shaking into chaff.
The white-haired official lowered his head and saw the brocade shoes under Zheng Qiao's feet coming into view. He felt as if he was struck by lightning and his vision went black. He sat slumped on the ground, his wrinkled hands shaking uncontrollably. . The secretion of saliva was crazy, and there was a hint of loss of control.
Emmm...
To be precise, it's a bit of a precursor to a stroke.
They are very aware of Zheng Qiao’s unstable character.
He will kill people when he is angry, and he will kill people when he is happy.
He will not touch important ministers, but they are not so irreplaceable in comparison. He does not care if a few of them die. The white-haired official happened to belong to the latter group. His middle-to-upper-level official position in the court was earned through years of experience. To put it simply, he had a long life.
Most of those talented people who became famous when they were young and amazing when they were young will not live to middle age, let alone old age with a head full of silver hair.
Being alive and having a good life are what he is most proud of.
So what if his talent is mediocre?
What if you are talented and talented?
Three or four of them together can’t live as long as he alone.
But——
At this moment, he felt a strong panic that his life was about to enter a countdown. When he saw the square shoes Zheng Qiao was wearing, his panic reached its peak. As if to confirm his guess, the soft and gentle voice of the country's leader Zheng Qiao came into his ears.
It sounds great.
The sound of nature is nothing more than that.
Falling in his ears was tantamount to seducing someone and putting it against his ear, saying in a low voice, "The time has come, it's time to hit the road." Zheng Qiao stretched out his hand, pulled him up without resistance, and asked him with a homely smile: "How old is Aiqing? How many people are in your family?"
After hearing Zheng Qiao's words clearly, the white-haired official's heart tightened, as if a cold poisonous snake had climbed onto his vest and was spitting snake messages in his ears, making a hissing sound. He was so frightened that he clenched his sweaty hands and said, "Nine out of seventy, my old minister, and more than eighty people in my family."
Zheng Qiao was slightly surprised: "Nine out of seventy?"
At this age What a great longevity!
It should be noted that the average life span of men nowadays is only twenty-seven or eighty years. Generally, people who are over thirty can call themselves "old man". Living over forty is considered "longevity and blessing". Even those who were fifty or sixty did not dare to think that the white-haired official in front of him was actually seventy-nine, just one year away from reaching eighty!
Zheng Qiao's expression softened, and even his breath softened: "Emperor Wu once said, 'Everyone who is old will die at the end of his life; his kindness extends to plants, trees and insects.' In the prosperous and peaceful times, the king was wise and benevolent, and the prime minister was loyal and loyal. , everyone can live as long as Aiqing.”
The white-haired official stuttered and complimented: "The king is wise and wise, and he will surely lead us to create a prosperous and peaceful age for the people of Geng Kingdom."
Zheng Qiao sneered and changed the topic.
“But——I thought longevity was not a good thing.”
The white-haired official’s heart tightened.
“If everyone lives as long as you love your queen, and each family has a population of more than eighty, and children and grandchildren will have children and grandchildren, there will be more people but no more crops...” Zheng Qiao said. He sighed, solemnly and sadly, "Have you ever thought about what the world would be like at that time?"
The white-haired official felt a chill in his heart.
Zheng Qiao then talked about "the longevity of descendants".
To put it bluntly, some old people live a long time and become human spirits. This is not a happy event, but it may also be a disaster, because his long life is obtained by absorbing the longevity of his descendants! There must be many white-haired officials sending black-haired officials to them in recent years, right? The crux of the problem is here!
When the courtiers heard this, their expressions turned ugly.
Whose family doesn’t have a few elderly people?
Which family doesn’t have a few children and grandchildren who died in infancy?
Even for babies who are reincarnated into the House of Bells and Cauldrons and carefully cared for by servants and servants, less than 80% of them survive to the age of enlightenment safely. The male heir is better off. If he can live to the age of enlightenment, he can sense the energy of heaven and earth and draw the energy into his body, his body bones will be much stronger, evil spirits will be difficult to invade, and his survival rate will increase. Without qualifications, the chance of premature death is the same as that of a girl, only 60%.
Not to mention the common people.
Seven or eight people are born and four or five people die. It is very common.
The death of a child is heartbreaking. Zheng Qiaolai said that it was the elders of the clan who survived for their descendants. How did the elderly courtiers feel?
The white-haired official almost fainted.
But he didn't dare. He was afraid that Zheng Qiao's revenge would be more vicious, and he knew that Zheng Qiao would kill him. Either die here or go home and go to hell with your family, choose one!
He trembled and said with tears: "I am ignorant, my thoughts are not as thoughtful as the king's, and my knowledge is not as broad as the king's. I don't know that I have harmed the children in my family. I am so ashamed that I have no face to live. I implore the king to grant me death. I hope to serve the king again in the next life.”
Zheng Qiao laughed suddenly.
Patted the white-haired official on the shoulder and said: "That's right."
Then he was given a rusty blunt sword!
Zheng Qiao glanced at the other courtiers. His violent and bloodthirsty mood was relieved by the white-haired official, and his mood improved a lot. So he waved his sleeves and asked the white-haired official to go to the side hall to play. Ruining his mood here and dirtying other people's eyes.
As for the white-haired official who tore off the lining of his clothes and blocked his mouth in the side hall, fearing that he would make a sound that would disturb and anger Zheng Qiao, and committed suicide in pain with the rusty blunt sword, that is a story for another day.
Zheng Qiao asked everyone again: "Do you have any countermeasures now?"
The scalps of the courtiers were almost numb and exploding.
You look at me secretly, and I look at you secretly.
Even the rustling little movements are extremely cautious.
“I have a plan.”
Finally, someone (a warrior) stood up.
The ministers took a look and had no impression of this person.
As soon as he came, this warrior was standing in a remote place outside the palace. He probably had a lowly official position or a sinecure with no real power.
Secondly, he looks young, in his early twenties at most, and his childishness has not completely faded away. If you look carefully, you will find that this person is very interesting - his facial features are all exquisite, but together they don't stand out. Good-looking but not memorable.
Fast and forgetful!
Zheng Qiao looked at the sound.
Raised his hand to greet the young warrior to come forward and speak.
The courtiers were sweating for him. The young warrior didn't know what everyone was thinking, and without any stage fright, he entered the hall with firm steps and stepped forward. The clothes rise and fall accordingly, showing a graceful and elegant look. After the warrior stood still, he saluted Zheng Qiao.
Zheng Qiao looked at the warrior carefully.
Suddenly he said: "It's you, do you have any clever ideas?"
The courtiers were secretly astonished. Otherwise, it was really because Zheng Qiao's tone was too peaceful.
You must know that Zheng Qiao's biggest characteristic is his "uncertain mood"!
The madness in the bones perfectly inherits the essence of the Geng royal family, and at the same time carries it forward. The talent is better than the blue, and the characteristics are so distinctive that you don’t need a blood test to know that you are a member of the Geng royal family!
His calmness often carries a prelude to the coming storm, such as the white-haired official who was just unlucky enough to be targeted. These smooth and sophisticated old foxes are the best at observing people's emotions. How can they not tell whether they are really calm or fake? So, it’s amazing...
Who is this young warrior?
How could he be treated kindly by Zheng Qiao? ? ?
The young warrior didn't seem to expect Zheng Qiao's attitude to be so peaceful. His expression was stunned for a moment, and then returned to his normal color.
He said: "The king only needs to issue an edict."
Zheng Qiao thought thoughtfully: "Edict? What edict?"
The courtiers faced each other. There is no expression on his face, but a huge wave has set off in his heart, which is exactly like a shouting emoticon - according to the past rhythm, whoever tells Zheng Qiao will stop talking, Zheng Qiao will not care if you have any clever ideas, it can be a punishment, or a headache Separate families.
One question and one answer?
Want to peach!
The young warrior dropped Qing Tian Han Lei calmly: "Write a proclamation to attack the rebels led by King Xue, and issue an edict to call on all the benevolent people in the world. Regardless of their origins and past, who can make contributions during the expedition or be promoted to an official position? To become a noble, or to break the earth and become a king."
The courtiers: "..."
At this moment, their minds are buzzing.
I thought that the young warriors would step forward to solve their predicament, but I didn’t expect that it would be their life-threatening talisman! When Zheng Qiao said the words "crack the soil and seal the king" in front of him, he could only imagine how furious Zheng Qiao would be, and he could foresee how angry he would be and wash the hall with blood!
The hall was quiet.
Not to mention the sound of whispering or breathing, you can clearly hear even an embroidery needle falling to the ground. Their nerves were tortured and ravaged back and forth, and if their mental quality was even slightly worse, they would wet their crotches on the spot. Who knows, one breath, two breaths, three breaths...
After ten breaths, Zheng Qiao didn't mean to lift the table in anger, but just looked at the young warrior with a faint look, and the young warrior could not avoid it. Let, neither be humble nor overbearing. Just when the courtiers' heart rates were reaching two hundred and their blood pressure was about to explode——
Zheng Qiao asked the warrior again: "Why?"
He wanted an explanation from the young warrior.
Courtiers: "..."
Are you not ready to kill anyone yet?
Some people were frightened and thought that Zheng Qiao was planning a more perverted approach, but some people were vaguely aware that something was wrong. What is the connection between this young warrior and Zheng Qiao?
Following this train of thought, I suddenly remembered something.
This young warrior is kind-hearted.
The young warrior said: "A snipe and a clam are fighting against each other."
Zheng Qiao thought for a moment and understood. His eyes lit up, he put his palms in his hands and laughed and said: "Okay, okay - what a snipe and clam are fighting against each other!"< br>
Whether it is the rebel forces headed by King She or various forces emerging from the people, they do not have the national seal in their hands, and they are not qualified to compete on an equal footing with the Zheng Qiao court who owns the national seal. No matter how many tricks Zheng Qiao performed and how disgraceful his reputation was, he was the one who led his troops to defeat the Xin State, and he legitimately inherited the Geng State. There is no doubt about these two points!
Since he is the legitimate and legitimate leader of the country, the other forces in his territory are all rebels who have committed rebellion! Instead of taking both sides into a fight, one vs. two, why not throw out irresistible bait to lure hungry dogs to fight for food!
The various civil uprising forces and King She's rebels are a natural alliance, and they all aim to tear Zheng Qiao apart. The enemy of my enemy is my friend!
If Zheng Qiao admits one party, then the position of the natural alliance will change, from an alliance to a hostile force with conflicts of interest!
This operation requires a "bait"!
Crack the earth to become king, who can resist?
He is still the legitimate "King of the Earth-Splitting King"!
Zheng Qiao only needs to watch them both lose.
But——
Zheng Qiao thought of the change of the national seal last night and sighed: "What you said is indeed a brilliant idea, but there is one thing you probably don't know yet. The national seal of Xin State is now in Sibao County, except for this There is a piece of national seal, and there is an unknown national seal of unknown depth. ”
The young warrior asked: "Two?"
Zheng Qiao nodded: "Well, those traitors of King She are staring at the national seal now, and they must not let any of them Obtain. ”
The young warrior is not worried about this.
He only asked: "How is the fate of the country with those two national seals?"
Needless to say, the one of Xin Guo was completely unlucky. In order for the national seal to play its full role, it is necessary to replenish the lost national destiny. The national destiny is closely related to the land, people, and people's hearts. Even if King Shi gets the national seal, he still needs to cultivate his health.
Otherwise, it is of little use.
The other one is the same.
What seems like a crisis situation is actually not that bad.
Zheng Qiao frowned and thought.
Unconsciously, the anxiety and anger have quietly receded.
The courtiers were frightened.
For a long time, I heard Zheng Qiao say: "Okay, it depends on what you said."
The courtiers: "..."
The courtiers outside the palace simply raised their heads and looked at the golden crow above their heads.
Will the sun come out in the west today? ? ?
Of course not.
But there is a reason for Zheng Qiao's abnormal behavior.
The reason lies with the young warriors.
The court meeting dispersed, and the courtiers did not dare to get close to the young warrior. They only dared to look at him from a distance, wanting to gossip but unable to do so, scratching their hearts and lungs.
At this time, a Xiao Huangmen stopped the young warrior.
Xiaohuangmen said respectfully: "The Lord of the Kingdom invites you."
The young warrior was stunned, then smiled gently.
"Please lead the way."
Looking at the back of the young warrior walking away against the flow of people, comments spread among the crowd. In view of Zheng Qiao's disgraceful past, his special treatment of young warriors makes the melon-eaters unable to help but wonder. It wasn't until someone had a flash of inspiration in his mind that something suddenly clicked.
He said: "Isn't that a banquet?"
A banquet, a banquet?
Everyone felt that this name seemed familiar.
The man said again: "The banquet is peaceful, the banquet is peaceful!"
The team brought by Geng Guo were still confused.
Only the old ministers of the Xin Kingdom woke up from a dream.
Yan Xingning, the name is not famous now, but it was famous a long time ago, and his father was a famous figure in Xin State.
"Then what? Nothing special."
Someone whispered: "Zheng Qiao was apprenticed to Yan'an's father when he was young! These two are brothers in the same school, do you think the relationship is special or not! ”
Everyone: "..."
