Chapter 201 Chapter 201: Chaos in Xiaocheng (Forty-one) [Please vote]
Special!
Very special!
It’s just——
There are always people who can’t help but murmur in their hearts.
Zheng Qiao didn't even care about his biological father. There were even rumors in the Geng Kingdom that when the old monarch of the Geng Kingdom suffered a stroke and was in bed, Zheng Qiao took advantage of the illness and had an affair with the old monarch's queen (now the Queen Mother). ) joined forces and quietly killed the old king.
No one doubts the authenticity of this rumor.
Without him, the change of power in the Geng Kingdom has always been a waste of time.
Old tradition, old craftsmanship!
If my own father is like this, why would he care about his master?
What's more, Yan Xingning is only the master's son.
The so-called brothers in the same discipline, the relationship is like that.
There were a lot of discussions from the outside world, but none of them reached Zheng Qiao’s palace.
In another place, the small yellow gate led Yan'an to twists and turns, and finally came to an elegant garden with luxurious decoration and a view at every step.
The stone table in the Octagonal Pavilion is carved from jade.
Not long after we sat down, a small yellow door brought out exquisite cakes and a pot of tea with a rich floral aroma. Yan'an glanced at it casually and realized that the pastries were of the flavor he was used to eating, and even the temperature of the scented tea was the same, lukewarm or hot, just like before.
Yan'an lowered his eyes and enjoyed it slowly.
It wasn't until he had half a cup of tea that familiar footsteps sounded from behind him. He stood up and wanted to salute and say hello. From the corner of his eye, he saw Zheng Qiao waving his hands and saying, "Xingning, there is no need for you and me to be so polite. ."
Yan'an: "Nowadays are different from the past, and etiquette cannot be discarded."
Zheng Qiao was not unhappy when his words were dismissed.
He knew this senior brother's temperament.
Looks gentle and easy to talk to, but in fact he is stubborn and independent.
Zheng Qiao lifted his clothes and sat down on the other side of the stone table. If the courtiers saw this scene, they would probably spend a long time picking their eyes.
He said: "Is your previous strategy really feasible?"
Yan'an: "As long as the national seal does not fall into their hands, are you planning to send troops to suppress the two forces? Even if you want to , How much money does the treasury have for you to attack? The same goes for your troops. If you give them military power at this time, you will be the first to attack them."
< br>
How can Yanan be willing to give civil forces a "justifiable" name? But if you don't do this, you will face the situation of being attacked from both sides. At this time, we cannot indulge military power in favor of disloyal and ambitious soldiers. We can only suppress them in a balanced way!
Zheng Qiao pursed her lips and said nothing.
This scene can also shock the courtiers' eyes.
Zheng Qiao has always been the only one to scold others like a grandson. No one dares to say what he did wrong right away. Even if Zheng Qiao really didn't do well, he couldn't be so straightforward.
Only by pretending to be deaf and mute can we save our lives.
However, Yan'an is obviously a special case among special cases.
Yan An said funny: "Why don't you speak?"
Zheng Qiao: "..."
Yan An's words were clearly meant to question the courtiers.
At this moment, the boomerang pierced myself.
He said: "Xingning, you shouldn't come here."
Yan'an asked back: "Why not?"
"I know that my senior brother came out to lead me back to the right path. But——" Zheng Qiao is rarely at peace, and there is no change in the past. [Status] Mixed with moodiness and anger, without the chilling and fearful look, this unparalleled face is even more stunningly beautiful, "I don't want to be alone."
Yan An's eyes were sharp: "You don't want to?"< br>
Zheng Qiao trembled subconsciously.
The palms of my hands ached even more.
I made mistakes when I was young, and the shadow of my senior brother’s ruler is still there.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the fleeting timidity, and said bluntly: "Xingning, Gu is no longer a junior brother you can discipline with a ruler, let alone a helpless one. Proton! I am the king of this land. The way to go is the right way!"
After that, he said helplessly: "Can't you just stay in your ancestral home and pay homage to your master? You have to jump out of this troubled water!"
Yan An felt the veins on his forehead twitch.
"You also know it's muddy water?"
Obviously, Zheng Qiao's few words also aroused his anger. What he was angry about was not Zheng Qiao's rejection, but his anger at his knowingly doing so - knowing clearly that what he did would make the world angry, but he still went his own way. Knows everything, but has to do every damn thing.
Yan An asked again: "Who muddied the water?"
Zheng Qiao said lightly: "It's Gu."
Yan An: "..."
He knew that Zheng Qiao had changed a lot.
In the past few years of Jielu Shouxiao, I have often heard news about Zheng Qiao. Any normal person would curse him after hearing those cruel methods. Yan'an often complained and cursed in front of his father's tomb, hoping that Zheng Qiao had been deceived into doing these things.
But he knew better that Zheng Qiao was not that easy to deceive.
If the rumors are true, he probably condoned it intentionally.
The more this happened, the more Yanan couldn’t believe it.
He said: "Why is this happening!"
How did Junior Brother Zheng Qiao become like this?
How innocent are the people of Xin and Geng?
The great revenge has been avenged, why still refuse to let go?
Yan'an just wants to ask——
Why is this so?
Zheng Qiao said calmly: "Human nature is evil, and Gu is a person with 'evil' in his bones. Even if he was still wearing a layer of 'good' skin before, the fake is still fake... After all, Senior Brother Xingning is not alone. There are some things that cannot be shared with loneliness. "
" How you put it on before, you continue to put it back on now!" Zheng Qiao suddenly said sternly: "I only indulged you because of my old friendship with my fellow disciples, please don't go overboard!"
< br>
Yan'an was slightly startled and said in a gentle tone: "My Lord, please forgive me."
Zheng Qiao hit a soft thorn and had nowhere to vent his anger.
He said: "As the leader of the country, I don't need anyone to tell me what to do, I just need to listen to my arrangements... If the master is still alive, it will be the same! Yan Xingning, a fellow teacher Brother, I don't want your blood on my hands. But you are really ignorant - it's not impossible to save another life!"
Yan An looked at him heartbroken.
The person he feels most guilty about is probably this junior brother.
Back then, if he and his father had been more determined and found an excuse to take Zheng Qiao to travel around, as long as they stayed away from the Xin King's royal family, they might have been able to prevent those things from happening back then.
At least, the nondescript title of "female girl" cannot be applied to Zheng Qiao! However, my father had the slightest illusion about the integrity of the leader of the Xin Kingdom, thinking that the elderly leader was still the wise and wise monarch in his youth, and that no matter how bastard he was, he still had a bottom line.
He is gullible.
The result is something no one wants to see.
Everything later proved that Zheng Qiao was really a descendant of the royal family of the Geng Dynasty! Once the moral constraints imposed by the world are let go, evil beasts of astonishing destructive power can be unleashed.
Yan'an knew that his junior brother had done countless wrong things, but still hoped that Zheng Qiao would stop and return to the right path. It’s not too late to make amends!
However, Zheng Qiao is not something he can influence now.
The biggest difference between Zheng Qiao and him is that-
The former believes that he is the leader of the country, and an ant is not qualified to judge whether he is good or evil. Even if you judge, you should use him as the standard.
What he says is good is good, what he says is evil is evil, what he says is right is right, and what he says is wrong is wrong!
All naysayers——
All deserve to die!
It is precisely because of this that Yanan is even more heartbroken. How could Zheng Qiao, who used to be humble, submissive and even timid, become this arrogant and ridiculous person now? Now, he plays with other people's lives wantonly and takes pleasure in cruelty and bloodshed.
Disregarding the laws of nature, ethics, propriety, integrity, filial piety and loyalty!
Yan An rubbed his brows helplessly: "Okay, I know you. However, can the Lord of the country explain to me why he treated Wang Ji like that?"
When the news came, he The filial piety period has just passed.
Without thinking too much, I packed my bags and hit the road in a hurry.
It is not surprising that Zheng Qiao hates the rest of the Xin royal family, but it is really unexpected that even Wang Ji hates them so much and even kills them. As Zheng Qiao's most trusted senior brother, he knew many of Zheng Qiao's unspeakable thoughts when he was young, including Wang Ji.
His junior brother likes that Wang Ji very much.
Zheng Qiao smiled and said: "I thought Xingning wanted to ask something."
Yan An looked at Zheng Qiao and felt that it was unreal.
Zheng Qiao didn't notice the difference: "Didn't Gu say that? People will change. If Gu changes, Wang Ji will naturally change too. She used to be gentle and kind, and she could treat people like Gu with respect. But that was before. Gu Ke saw with his own eyes that Wang Ji, who had not dared to step on ants before and took care of injured birds without sleep, killed the palace man in anger because the palace man stole her new shoes. "
In fact, there is nothing wrong with it.
The palace man deserves to die for doing this.
But ultimately it’s just a pair of shoes!
Wang Ji has been favored since she was a child. Not to mention a pair of shoes that she might wear once or twice and then never wear again. Even if she doesn’t wear the same shoes every day, she can wear brocade clothes that are worthy of the people’s enjoyment for several years. She wears it for life! How could a pair of shoes that she didn't necessarily like cost someone's life?
But outsiders don't think Wang Ji is at fault.
That palace man indeed deserves to die.
Zheng Qiao smiled again and said: "However, no one cares about such a trivial matter. The world only remembers that Wang Ji endured the humiliation and endured the heavy burden. For the royal family of Xin, she did not dare to die and could not die! Whenever I want her to die, she When can I die! There is no essential difference between what she does and what I do. Even if there is, it is a small evil and a big evil! , Small evils are not evil? Can small evils be ignored and forgiven, but big evils cannot be understood? "
Yan An opened his mouth and whispered: "There is no harm in doing so."
Zheng Qiao asked back: "There is no loss in big matters and no small matters. In the eyes of senior brother, the lives of palace people only belong to 'small matters'?"
Yan'an said: "You know that's not what I meant."
Zheng Qiao calmed down.
Since he no longer suppressed his temper, his anger became more and more difficult to control, even though he knew that Yanan's trip was to wish him well.
As the old saying goes -
He doesn't need anyone to tell him what to do.
Except for the king, who dares to say that he must be right?
Yan'an also tactfully advised him to cultivate his moral character and control his temper.
Absolutely rejected by Zheng Qiao!
"I don't need it! In the past, I was under the control of others and allowed to be eaten by mermaids. I had to put on a smile and imitate the smile of the lady in order to gain some favor and live a little like a human being. But now, I am the leader of the country! This People in this land have to live on their own terms!"
In Yanan's disbelieving eyes, he smiled.
"If they don't want to live anymore, they can die."
As the night grew dark, Yanan came out of the palace garden.
When he looked back, Leng Buding shuddered. At a certain moment, what he saw was not a gorgeous palace but a ferocious beast.
Yan'an sighed and whispered.
“Some things need to be done before you know them.”
If he doesn't give it a try, how can he live up to his father's spirit in heaven?
If not——
At least I won’t regret it.
That night, eight hundred miles of urgent edicts were spread from the palace to everywhere.
For a time, all forces were in an uproar.
I have no idea what kind of medicine Zheng Qiao sells in his gourd.
Knowing that this edict may be poison [drug] given by Zheng Qiao, there are still people who inevitably waver in the face of huge interests. This is an excellent opportunity to seize the opportunity to gain strength and build up your own troops!
