Chapter 43: Never been here again
Chang Qing paused for a moment and did not dare to continue.
At the sandalwood table outside the bead curtain, Zhang Shiqiu, who had beaten someone, was sitting there with his eyes closed and concentrating. From time to time, he stuffed cakes or fruits into his mouth, which was more casual than the emperor behind the bead curtain.
"I will have someone pull out your dog tongue sooner or later."
Liu Fan waved Chang Qing to retreat, picked up the golden peach placed next to the soft couch and threw it outside the bead curtain. Zhang Shiqiu opened his eyes to catch it, put it in his mouth and took a bite, while chewing he said: "While the tongue is still there,
Now, I have to say a few more words. In fact, it is not easy to be the emperor as you do. In order to kill a powerful concubine and a powerful minister, and at the same time gather military power and so on, you have to put on makeup every day.
He can be regarded as an emperor through the ages."
In today's world, he is the only one who dares to ridicule and make fun of the emperor so unabashedly, Mr. Zhang.
Liu Fan glanced over with a cold look: "It's your Zhang family that I want to kill."
"To be honest with your Majesty, I also want to destroy my own family." Zhang Shiqiu smiled nonchalantly and said: "I will prepare a list of the entire Zhang family for you later. Your Majesty, please don't miss anyone. Kill those who deserve to be killed and chop down those who deserve to be killed."
Come on, don't be merciful and polite to them just because I'm here, it's unnecessary."
It would be best to kill all the watchdogs raised by the Zhang family, that would be so satisfying!
"Do you think you are brave? The first ones I will chop are your father and son."
"Just cut it off if Your Majesty is willing!" Zhang Shiqiu said with a shameless smile: "Now that all the military power in the southern border has been returned to His Majesty's hands, it just depends on His Majesty's mood. I just don't know how your Majesty wants to get back the military power in the Northern Territory.
The King of Zhenbei is not as selfish as my father, he is a loyal and famous general of Daqi. Are you sure that your Majesty wants to take action?"
Knowing that this guy was changing his ways and not wanting him to attack the northern border, Liu Fan glanced at him and said coldly: "Chang Qing, the decree is here. Zhang Jingya, the general of Zhennan, respects his troops, disobeys the holy will, and has ulterior motives. He ordered the Minister of Punishment to
Wu Zhui went to seize her. As for his son Zhang Shiqiu, he was so audacious that he dared to have an affair with Concubine Zhao. He was sentenced to castration and imprisoned in heaven for life."
Chang Qing hurriedly obeyed, and Zhang Shiqiu's lips twitched as he said with disgust: "Your Majesty, by accusing me of such a crime, you actually want to make my old man dad angry to death!"
Living with Concubine Zhao? A chill ran down Zhang Shiqiu's back, and Liu Fan could think of it. It was a small thing to ruin his reputation, but the key was to disgust him. I think if this decree reached Zhang Jingya's ears, he would be angry even if he died.
He was so angry that he bled out of his mouth.
Zhang Shiqiu can be regarded as a cheater with his strength.
If he was not Zhang Jingya's biological son, he would definitely kill him with his own hands to comfort his mother's spirit in heaven.
"Zhang Shiqiu, in this life, you will stay with me as a loner for the rest of your life!" Although it will not really castrate him, in this life, he will not be able to have any more children. After thinking about it, Liu Fan said coldly: "
I will give you ten beauties! If none of these ten are pregnant, you can choose whether to have a son or a daughter."
The emperor's kindness is so great that he is particularly gracious.
Zhang Shiqiu smiled bitterly, shook his head and refused: "Your Majesty wants me to die early because of my energy! Thank you, I... I have never thought about being a father. It's fine to be alone."
There is such a father who kills his wife and wants to destroy his son. He really doesn't know if he can still play the role of a good father. Instead of teaching someone with the same virtues as him, it would be good if he could live alone in this life!
Although Zhang Jingya didn't treat their mother and son very well when they were young, he was still a heroic father in Zhang Shiqiu's heart.
Until ten years ago, in order to give Zhao Yin's mother a legitimate position as the royal wife, he planned to have her mother humiliated. In the end, his mother couldn't bear the humiliation and jumped into a lake in anger. After her death, she was still treated by the Zhang family.
Jie's crime did not even have a place to be buried. He was directly burned with a fire and scattered in the wind. All of this was firmly remembered by Zhang Shiqiu in his heart.
The Zhang family owes his mother, Zhang Jingya owes his mother, it's time to pay back.
Zhang Shiqiu's guess was correct. The moment Zhang Jingya received the imperial edict, he was so angry that he vomited blood and yelled to gather troops to rebel. Unexpectedly, except for his hundreds of personal soldiers, no one in the 100,000 troops in the southern border listened to him.
In a short time, his few hundred personal soldiers were captured directly. The person who captured him personally was Bu Qingfeng, his confidant whom he single-handedly promoted.
Looking at the indifferent Bu Qingfeng, Zhang Jingya spat out another mouthful of old blood and said angrily: "You little thief, I treat you badly, how dare you betray me, you deserve to die!"
Your own son has betrayed you, and you still expect others to be loyal to a selfish old man like you?!
Bu Qingfeng sneered coldly: "Rebellious ministers and traitors dare to slander others. I will always obey orders from His Majesty. Old man, do you really think of yourself as a person? Do you think everyone will be so selfish to you?"
The rebellious ministers and thieves who exploit the ambitions of others are just following their lead? Huh, how ridiculous!"
"Winning king or losing bandit, I have nothing to say. There is only one thing I don't understand. I have been kind to you for many years, so why would you want to betray me?" Bu Qingfeng lives up to his name, has a temperament like the wind, and sees everything clearly.
, Zhang Jingya didn’t believe that Liu Fan’s dirty talk could make him betray him.
"A gift from acquaintance? Humph! I joined the army because someone said that the sword in my hand should be used to defend the country and defend the territory. Do you think I care about your appreciation?" He joined the army because of the sword in his hand. He wanted to
To protect the unarmed people of Daqi, and even more to protect his little girl who is like his own sister. The reason why they guard the territory is because they are there on the territory, but these people cannot tolerate a little girl like her.
Perhaps he did feel the kindness of knowing someone, but it ended long ago when he hurt the person he wanted to protect.
"You Zhang family members, including that poisonous woman, should all be punished for the mistakes you committed. Zhang Jingya's body is gone, and you must have a taste of it."
"You, you..." How did he know? Zhang Jingya was too shocked to speak.
"If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself, old man, your retribution has come. Haven't you always wanted to know who the eldest son of Feiyun Village is? I am." Seeing him showing an even more shocked look than before, Bu Bu
Qingfeng turned around coldly, not wanting to waste any more words with him.
He waved his hand to the soldiers to remove the sharp knives from their bodies, put them in shackles, and pressed them down.
With just two cups of tea, General Zhennan, who was so majestic and aloof just now, became a prisoner in a blink of an eye. It's so sad! It's ridiculous.
Bu Qingfeng met Wu Zhui who came to escort Zhang Jingya. The former brothers were now relatively speechless. Looking at the escort's retreating figures, Bu Qingfeng's eyes were a little sad. Facing the breeze blowing from the forest, his figure looked so...
of loneliness.
The days of Feiyun Village can never go back...
'Brother, when the mountain flowers bloom next year, I will take Texue to see you.'
He still remembered the last scene of that little girl! Facing the rising sun with a naive smile, dressed in red, waving her hands and saying that she would come to see him when the mountain flowers are blooming next year.
But the mountain flowers bloomed one after another, and failed season after season, but the man and the horse never came again...

***
Ten years ago.
In the tenth year of Emperor Shun's reign, the successor took charge of the harem and used vicious methods. His mother's family even used this to recruit disciples in the court. When foreign enemies were at war, Emperor Shun was busy with matters in the two realms and neglected it, allowing the successor's mother's family to take advantage of the opportunity to expand.
He even started to frame Zhongliang blatantly.
The four major families of Shangguan, Wu, Bu, and Xie in the DPRK were successively affected. The members of the Wu and Bu families were all forced to be executed by Emperor Shun. The Shangguan family was protected by the ministers of the DPRK and the King of Zhenbei in the North, and was saved. Xie
After the first three clans were affected one after another, Emperor Shun seized the Xie clan in advance on an unfounded charge before his successor's mother clan took action, thus saving the lives of everyone in the Xie clan.
Only this disaster changed a woman's life.
It's June this year, and the scorching sun is shining down, making people sweat profusely.
And on the border of Yezhou, this crazy and immoral thing was happening.
On the way to the deserted city where they were being assigned, the female members of the Xie family met a group of bandits. Seeing that there were many beautiful women among the people who were assigned, they became interested and led their men and horses to chase after them.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the escorting officers and soldiers hurriedly drove the carriage. The carriage ran all the way and was about to reach a safe place at the city gate. At this moment, an old lady in the carriage stared closely at the little girl on the far side of the carriage, with eyes in her eyes.
