Chapter 1 I Know Once You Do It
What is superstition? It means believing something vaguely.
It is said that in the middle of Sichuan, one day there was a violent storm, and suddenly a thunderbolt fell, splitting a century-old tree from the middle. A jade chess piece magically appeared at the root of the tree. The black and white spots on it were like chess pieces, forming eight words: Tianxia.
Orthodox, the surviving son of the Ten Kings.
Echoing this mysterious event, in the northeastern sea, a fisherman saw a beautiful mermaid singing on the sea on a full moon night: The son of the true dragon appears, and the thief of the country returns to his throne.
In Yanchi Mountain to the west, treasures from the former Yan palace have appeared one after another. After Guo Younian’s case, everyone knew that the belongings of the former dynasty belonged to the ten kings. These things suddenly appeared on the market, and they were the treasures of the ten kings who had been missing for many years.
Pulse, the signal for the sword to leave the world.
According to the signs in the sky, the ten kings were defeated and their lives and deaths were unknown. Now, it is his son who has come to regain the world!
They are the real ones!
Legends, especially those with a divine background, always spread rapidly like an uncontrollable plague. The more gods and monsters are, the more they can influence the world's affairs. The more the officials suppress them, the faster they spread. Trust
The degree is also more firm.
It was the end of September when Liuli heard Wen Yiyun tell her "new things", but now it is almost November, and it snowed for the first time in Tokyo early. This gave the people another reason to talk: If the weather had to change, why would the weather be like this?
So abnormal? It's obviously the scene of war. But looking at the Zhao Dynasty, it is still peaceful. Since we don't know where the war started and where to hide, we simply stock up on food and stay at home and don't go out.
Xiao Zuo was furious. This rumor was like the sharpest poisonous needle, pricking the most vulnerable corner of his heart. He held the world in his hands but still felt uneasy.
He made a public announcement that the remnants of the ten kings were causing harm to the country. He sent capable officials to trace the source of the rumors and stop the spread of the rumors. He also opened warehouses to release grain, severely punished merchants who hoarded rice, stabilized rice prices, and appeased people's hearts.
The orthodoxy of this dynasty is so false that the rumors are simply fabricated out of nothing. They bring trouble to the dynasty. They even hired a few corrupt officials and charged them with making lies and deceiving the public. Their vigorous and resolute methods are really admirable and have indeed convinced the people.
The rumors have subsided. But the so-called heavenly signs are still like seeds with tenacious vitality, deeply planted in the hearts of the people. They cannot be completely uprooted. It seems that they can sprout immediately just waiting for the spring breeze to blow.
You know, the people don't want war. It doesn't matter who is the emperor. It's decent to live a stable life. But there is a faint, but also a little excitement. They look forward to peacefully bringing order to the chaos. After all, the word "orthodoxy" is what the ancients valued most.
This is what Xiao Zuo has always advocated. Otherwise, why would the second prince Xiao Zhong be a strong contender for the throne if he was so immoral and incompetent? When Xiao Zuo won the throne of the dragon, in order to appease the world and the scholarly family who paid the most attention to decency, he also made up
Many of the ten kings were immoral and unworthy of being righteous. He led the court on his behalf and used the rhetoric of establishing a new trend as a stopgap measure. Now it seems that this can be regarded as shooting himself in the foot.
Later, when Xiao Zuo thought about the hard work he had gone through to seize the throne, and how he had almost resorted to any means, he began to doubt his sons. Because the person who could create such rumors must be a powerful person, or someone who covets the throne. So
, isn’t it self-evident who can specify these two conditions? Some emperors would worry about having few heirs. But the old Xiao family has many famous sons, and they are all full of vitality, ambitious, and ruthless, and none of them
It is a fuel-efficient lamp, which is not a good thing.
The first to bear the brunt was the second prince Xiao Zhong. Who made him the "orthodox"? Faced with his father's suspicion, Xiao Zhong was really speechless. The other princes felt that this was an opportunity, so they inevitably jumped up and down, irritating Xiao again.
The left head was extremely big. At this time, Concubine Cui Shu blew the pillow wind at the right time. Xiao Zuo immediately thought of his kind and generous ninth son. With a piece of paper, he ordered Xiao Zhen to wait until the winter monsoon blows. After this year's ship leaves the port,
, temporarily returned to Tokyo to assist in government affairs.
For a moment, Xiao Jiulang's future seemed to be bright. You must know that only the prince is qualified to assist in the affairs of the government. Therefore, this market situation made many people, both overt and covert, ready to take action, as if they had been given blood. Of course,
Among them are some very restless housewives.
"Xiao Liuli, the prince of this county is really more and more impressed by you. My good uncle never imagined that these legends, rumors or rumors were all caused by the women in his boudoir who he despised the most in his life." Shui Yuexuan.
In the private room, Xiao Yu personally poured wine for Liuli and raised his hands to serve it. Although the tone of his words was a bit frivolous, it was his usual protective tone. In fact, he couldn't be more serious this time. Such Liuli deserves it.
Be his ally, worthy of his respect, worthy of his liking.
Liuli took the wine but didn't drink it. It's a joke, this man is not a good guy, what should he do if he deliberately gets her drunk? Her drinking capacity... doesn't matter. In short, it is inseparable from the word "scum".
"How did you do it?" Xiao Shiyi couldn't help but ask.
"Why did I do it? Tianzhao." Liuli did Tai Chi.
In fact, it is very simple. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's plan of hiding books in the belly of a fish and the roar of a fox in a campfire have already set a precedent.
The tree in Shu was blown up with gunpowder in the wilderness on a stormy night. Of course, the jade bureau and the words on it were prepared in advance. Most of the villagers were ignorant, so I looked for opportunities to let them see it, and then in the
When spreading the news, we used Caobang's connections to fuel the flames, even if we don't want to know about it. For this kind of thing that cannot be understood, the energy of the common people's gossip is endless, and it will definitely spread more and more. Until now, there are even a large number of villagers
The unlucky tree was covered in red and green, burning incense and kneeling in worship every day, repeatedly.
As for the mermaids singing on the sea... Xiao Shiyi's people were a big help. He stole the channel and later, as a condition of the alliance, allowed the Caobang people to follow and make money, so Liuli's people were allowed to fish near Silla and Ryukyu.
The fishermen saw the wonders of the sea.
The beautiful siren was dressed up as a sailor with good water skills. The song floating on the sea was performed by a master with good internal strength. Where did the full moon come from? It was actually a misty day! The fishermen were frightened.
I was also curious. I couldn’t see clearly at first. Now I just need to send a few eloquent people to pretend to be fishermen and describe the scene with certainty. The other witnesses will really believe that what they saw with their own eyes is exactly like this! Exploited
, is a blind spot in human psychology.
Yanchi Mountain? That was Xiao Zuo's pride. After he successfully reduced the vassal state, he recovered the territory without even a single soldier, which proved his "great achievements." Previously, Yanchi Mountain had been occupied by the Tatars.
After Lutai became king, Xiao Zuozuo Wen Ningzhi sent a letter of credence. No one knew what was written in it. But the new Tatar King Arutai was actually photographed in the majesty of the Great Zhao, and he took the initiative to submit it to the Great Zhao.
He paid tribute and became a vassal, using that land as a "gift of friendship from generation to generation."
At that time, Huo Honglian was so brave and invincible that he could not take back the land that had not been conquered by the Huo family for several generations. He had not retaken the land despite his uncompensated defeat on the battlefield. It was so easy for Xiao Zuo to conquer the land without fighting.
Returned to the territory of Zhao. If there were still doubts about Xiao Zuo's throne at that time, this achievement made him secure the dragon throne. That kind of national pride united countless people's hearts. Until today, cracks have appeared again.
Destroys the apparent perfection.
The treasures of the Ten Kings have appeared in Yanchi Mountain, which vaguely indicates that it is the basis of the activities of the Ten Kings. What will Alutai do? It is really intriguing.
In the inland, along the coast, and in the northwest, celestial signs related to the ten kings appeared at the same time. Only to this extent can the people's hearts be shaken.
"I have fulfilled my promise, what about His Highness the County Prince?" Liuli also toasted Xiao Shiyi, also with both hands.
Xiao Shiyi simply drank it with his head raised, which was quite heroic.
But after putting down the drink, he sighed, rested his chin on one hand, and said in distress, "What should I do? I really lost to Xiao Liuli in this round." As he said this, his eyes were bright.
"Sincerity! Sincerity!" Liuli knocked on the table, reminding Xiao Shiyi to remember the responsibilities of allies. If you have any clues, just say it!
"Qiu Shuanghua is very capable. My people are all-pervasive. They are what I am most proud of. They say that if you do it, I will know it. But this time, I really encountered a problem. But..."
He changed his tone and said, "It's not like there are no clues at all."
Liuli tilted her head and listened carefully.
She didn't know that she looked a little naive like this, which made Xiao Shiyi feel itchy and wanted to hug her, but he resisted, for fear of offending her, so he could only gather his thoughts and said, "I don't want to tell you the details yet,
When I get the results, I will tell you a nice story. Now I can only promise you, believe me, I will be able to catch the fox by the tail soon."
"His Royal Highness the Prince is cheating on you." Liuli was dissatisfied and accused.
"What's the meaning of the half-worded words?" Xiao Shiyi smiled and changed the subject, "Where's Shui Shiqiao? How is his investigation going? I can reveal some evidence to him. Qiu Shuanghua does have someone outside to help, and
That person is probably not a Jianghu person, but he is doing Jianghu things."
Liuli raised her eyebrows, this was an important clue.
"Speaking of which, Qiu Shuanghua is really more powerful than I thought, and her work is impeccable." Liuli frowned slightly and said, "She was tricked by me before, and I took the opportunity to repair her girl Shi'er. She takes it seriously.
I couldn't stand it anymore, so I started to use cruel tricks, and then I stayed in the yard for more than a month without moving, not even leaving the door."
"Where is the doctor who treated her?" Xiao Shiyi asked the key point.
Liuli shook her head, "I found him for him, and he belongs to the Caobang." Some people are born to win over and use people, to seduce people without making people feel it, and unknowingly, they happily do it for him or her.
work.
She had never underestimated Qiu Shuanghua, so she was extra careful. The doctor was an old man who had experienced many battles, so he would never be fooled. Afterwards, he got over it with her, and there was no problem at all.
