Chapter 385: Under the Chestnut Tree in the Shade


Following Jing Jiu's suggestion, the blue bird walked around this world, looking for those who might see through the heavens, and it was not until the end that she went to the palace of the Zhao Kingdom.She didn't like to go to the Zhao Palace, because this palace was always full of medicinal and dark smells, which was completely different from the image of Zhao in the mainland.And she didn't like the eunuch very much.The bluebird landed at the corner of the eaves, and looked like an eaves beast in the twilight.He Zhan glanced at it without a trace, then retracted his gaze and continued to look at the edict of Emperor Chu in his hand.His eyebrows were very thin, his face was a little pale, and the longer his gaze stayed on the edict, the higher the thin eyebrows would rise, and his expression would be more gloomy.After staying in the illusion for too long, he has forgotten many things, and there are many things that he can't forget, such as the pain of his childhood, the occasional and annoying blue bird, and the identity of some people - he knows that Emperor Chu is the same person as himself, and he knows that the prince of Jing should be his friend, but it may be because of the word friend that he has never had direct contact with Cangzhou.The death of King Jing's son did not make him feel sad, but it was this guilty edict that made him feel aggrieved and angry for Emperor Chu, and felt that life was boring.It's a boring thing to be alive.He Zhan left the imperial study, came to a palace, and took the medicine handed over by the palace maid.The medicine was prepared by himself, and the pharmacy was under the strictest supervision, and no one could poison it.Feeling the temperature coming from the bottom of the bowl, he nodded with satisfaction, pushed open the door of the hall and walked in, and said to the young man in bright yellow clothes behind the bookcase: "Your Majesty, it's time to take medicine." ”Emperor Zhao looked at him and smiled, then began to cough, a little painful.His face was very pale, and he stood with He Zhan like a brother, but He Zhan's paleness came from the rare sunlight, and his paleness was because of illness.Emperor Zhao took the medicine bowl and drank it all, and then took the winter melon candy that He Zhan took out from the box and put it in his mouth, his face and spirit were better.He Zhan persuaded: "There's no need to push yourself so urgently, you might as well rest for a while." ”Emperor Zhao walked to the wall and opened the curtain, pointed to the map of the continent and said, "There are so many places waiting for us, how can we not be in a hurry?"

”His father will inevitably become one of the most famous emperors in history, and in contrast, he will also become one of the most famous emperors in history.Under his rule, Zhao Guo showed a thriving posture, the edge gradually revealed, and all the dark sides were returned to He Gonggong, so his image was extremely bright and won the hearts of the people.He Zhan thought about the previous edict and said indifferently: "At least the Chu State doesn't have to worry anymore." ”Emperor Zhao said: "King Jing is not bold enough, and he is afraid of Mr.

Shaoyue's ability, so he will not dare to rebel, and will only take Cangzhou to a new home." ”He Zhan said: "I haven't had much contact with Cangzhou over the years, and it is difficult to fight for it, but even if he wants to vote for Xianyang, I will find a way to cut more meat." ”"That's probably the strategy, you and the military department will do the specific operation, it's just ......"

Emperor Zhao glanced at him and said: "You don't need to act too ruthlessly like you did a few years ago, and make your reputation so bad, it's no good." ”He Zhan said calmly: "I like to make people scared, so that it is convenient to do things. ”Emperor Zhao shook his head, pointed to another place on the map and said: "The canal in Kun County is almost repaired, and you can leave the matter of building a high dam to someone else." ”He Zhan looked at that place, and his thoughts went back to many years ago.At that time, he was still a little eunuch in Concubine Ping's palace, and His Majesty the Emperor was still the crown prince who would be given death at any time.They talked a lot about how to get out of the current situation and what they would do if they succeeded.The aqueducts in Kun County were one of their topics at the time.This canal is very important to the Zhao State, once it is repaired, it can irrigate tens of millions of acres of fertile land, and at the same time, it will also become a sharp sword hanging over the head of the Qi State.In order to repair this canal, Zhao spent great resources and energy, and was even forced to slow down the process of digesting Luo.Now it seems that everything is worth it.If that high dam is really used in the future, it will greatly hurt Tianhe, and the specific host will inevitably be stinking for 10,000 years, so Emperor Zhao doesn't want He Zhan to take over in person.He Zhan did not refuse His Majesty's kindness this time, and said: "I will choose the right candidate, and the Qi people will definitely find a way to make trouble, and then kill another batch by the way." ”The emperor smiled helplessly and said, "Can you not think about killing people all day long?"

”The twilight deepened, the shadows of the windows faded, and the light in the temple was warm and red.The voices of the Emperor and He Zhan grew lower and lower.The eunuch and the palace maid watched this scene outside the hall, with a smile on their faces.This kind of picture of monarchs and ministers getting along and discussing the country together has long been accustomed to it by the people in the palace.It's a pity that Gonggong He is a eunuch and has a bad reputation, otherwise it will definitely become a good story in history.As night fell, the palace was lit up.The emperor was a little tired, coughed a few times, and sat down on the couch with He Zhan's support.He Zhan said again: "You have to take care of your body. ”The emperor put his left hand on his lap, waved his right hand, and said, "You know that I won't live for a few years, how can I not be in a hurry?"

”If it is an ordinary courtier, you should cry bitterly at this time, saying that Your Majesty is in full bloom, why do you say this.He Zhan didn't do this, just looked at the emperor quietly.The emperor bowed his head, a little tired.He looked at the top of the emperor's head, and the three whirls were very clear, and that represented cleverness.The emperor has always been a very intelligent man."

I want to do something for the people of Zhao and for the people of the world, if I don't have time......"

The emperor still lowered his head and said, "You help me finish these things." ”Even if the emperor didn't ask for it, He Zhan would do it, because this was what he was going to do.He endured humiliation and pain, walked in the dark night without seeing the sun, just to finally sweep away the kingdoms, become the co-master of the world, and finally succeed.He was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Is this a last word or a thorn?"

”The difference between the last words and the orphan is the word lonely.The temple became quiet.The eunuchs and palace maids have long avoided it.The emperor slowly raised his head, looked at him and said, "You still don't support my decision?

”Just a few days ago, a big event happened in Zhao State.The emperor was weak and had no heirs, so he decided to choose a nephew from among the children of the clan to succeed him.In the end, after several selections, the emperor chose the little guy who was known as smart and honest in the Hejian Palace."

I've always been against this decision."

He Zhan said calmly: "That's an immature wolf cub. ”When it comes to the succession to the throne, a eunuch is not qualified to comment, let alone speak so rudely and presumptuously.The emperor was not angry, and after a moment of silence, he said, "That's all, you help me watch." ”He Zhan said: "Okay. ”The emperor was furious at this time, because he knew that He Zhan was lying.He Zhan just asked if this was his last words or Tuogu, and he had already made his attitude very clear."

I know that when I die, you won't treat that child the way you did to me."

The emperor stared into He Zhan's eyes and said, "Because you have always wanted to be the real emperor. ”He Zhan was silent for a while, and said, "It's actually not wrong to say that. ”There are many rumors about this matter in the government and the opposition and even in foreign countries, the emperor has not asked, and He Zhan has not said it, until the night.The emperor's face was even paler, and his eyes were filled with angry flames, as if looking at a villain who had betrayed.He Zhan was enraged by his eyes and said, "Without me, can you become this emperor?"

Without me, you don't know how many times you've died!

”The Emperor said in a deep voice, "But this is what you should do!"

”He Zhan sneered slightly: "Why?

Because you are the emperor, I am a courtier?

”The Emperor was silent for a while, and then said, "No, because we are friends. ”He Zhan said: "I have forgotten a lot of things, but I always remember that the word friend is unbelievable, and it is a little disgusting to listen to it. ”The emperor was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "Did you do anything to the chestnut tree on the slope of the imperial garden back then?"

”He Zhan frowned slightly and said, "How do you know?"

”The emperor said: "You did not succeed at that time, and it is inevitable that you will leave some traces. ”He Zhan said: "You also checked me back then, and you knew that I had a relationship with the old eunuch Hong, so you met me, to put it bluntly, you are also using me." ”The Emperor said with some amazement: "Yes, we have been using each other from the beginning. ”He Zhan was silent.The Emperor suddenly coughed, looking very painful.He Zhan frowned slightly, took out a pill, considered it for a long time, cut off about a quarter, fed it to his mouth, and helped him lie down.The emperor's cough gradually stopped, calmed down a little, and closed his eyes to recuperate.He Zhan took his leave and prepared to leave.The emperor suddenly stopped him, looked at his back, and asked, "You......

Not a person from this world?

”He Zhan's body stiffened a little and said, "What kind of nonsense are you talking about?"

”The Emperor withdrew his gaze and looked out the window at the starry sky."

I didn't think the world was fake until I realized that you had no feelings for the world and I started thinking about it."

He Zhan said, "I don't understand what you mean. ”The Emperor said, "To the world, you are like an eternal guest, and to you, I will always seem to be a stranger, and that's what I mean." ”He Zhan lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "I will wait for you to the end, I will not do anything, and I will also protect the happiness of the queen." ”After saying this, he walked out of the temple, and did not turn around, nor did he look back."

If you weren't a eunuch, what if I gave you the throne......"

The Emperor's voice came from behind him.When he walked outside the hall, his own eunuch put on a big hat for him.In the middle of the night, it is inevitable that it will be a little cold.Dozens of eunuchs surrounded him and walked outside the palace.These eunuchs were all his subordinates, and they had extremely terrifying combat power, and in this situation, it was very difficult to kill He Zhan.Seeing that the palace gate was in front of him, He Zhan suddenly stopped and said, "I'm going to take a look somewhere, you guys are waiting for me here." ”Those eunuchs were shocked when they heard this, thinking that there are many heroes and heroes in the world who want to kill Father-in-law He, even if it is not safe in the palace, what is Father-in-law going to do?

He Zhan came to the Imperial Garden.He stood under the chestnut tree, silently looking into the distance.Starlight sprinkled black overtones.He looked like a nostalgic devil.………… (Note: The chapter name comes from – under the shade of the chestnut tree, you betrayed me, I betrayed you.) )()
