A tree of peach blossoms pressing the prime minister

Chapter 238
"That's good." Tao Hua said, "Let's go and see this big wedding, right?"

Shen Zaiye was silent, and after thinking for a long time, he nodded: "Okay."

They finally left Peach Blossom Mountain and headed all the way to the capital of the Great Wei Kingdom.On the way, Shen Zaiye looked at Taohua, and there seemed to be nothing wrong, except that he cried a little sadly that day, and then it was as if nothing had happened, and he only occasionally said that Chang Jue was a nonsense.

Did she really believe the letter?Shen Zaiye didn't quite understand, but as long as she didn't cry so much, she would do whatever she wanted.When she cried, he really had nothing to do.

When the two arrived at the Imperial Palace in the capital, they were about to change into their attires to meet His Majesty, but they saw Eunuch Lin, the Chief Eunuch running over, and said helplessly, "Prime Minister, Madam, the Emperor has left the palace."

Leaving the palace? !Taohua was startled: "What are you going out for?"

Mu Wuxia's status is not what it used to be, how can she still leave the palace at will?
Eunuch Lin sighed: "The emperor is often like this, and he will not listen to persuasion. Now that the prime minister and his wife are back, they can help to think of a way."

Although Shen Zaiya has not been in the capital for a long time, Mu Wuxia has always given him the title of prime minister, and let others share what should be done, but no one will let him move his position.If he is so respected and loved by the emperor, then the emperor should listen to his words.

"But now, where should I find him?" Shen Zaye frowned.

Eunuch Lin naturally didn't know, he was shaking his head, but he heard Jiang who was next to him whisper: "Maybe I know where he is."

Shen Zaye was taken aback for a moment, but before he could react, he was dragged away by her.

I haven't been back for more than a year, and the capital looks much more prosperous than before, with wider streets and more refined houses.Taohua rode with Shen Zaiye, guiding the way in his arms: "Go there."

"Further on, there are slums." Shen Zaiye said.

"You have to go to that kind of place to look for it." Tao Hua said firmly: "He will definitely go there often to have a look."

Shen Zaiye was puzzled, but he still listened to her and rode his horse into the slum.

In the past, this place was regarded as a scar of the capital, with dilapidated houses, stench, and people who were too hungry to walk everywhere.In just over a year, Taohua looked at it, but blue tile houses had been built around here, and the people who came and went seemed to be workers. Although the clothes they wore were still patched, at least they didn't look like they had been suffering all the time. hungry people.

Shen Zaiye reined in his horse and carried Peach Blossom down.Taohua ran two steps, stopped a woman carrying a vegetable basket, and asked, "Did you see a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old? He looks pretty handsome, and he should be well dressed."

The woman was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said: "Madam is asking about the young master, right? He's on the graveyard behind."

Cemetery?Shen Zaiye frowned: "What are you doing at the graveyard?"

When the peach blossomed, he got back on the horse with him, and told Shen Jaeye what happened when they came out and killed a child.

Shen Zaiya sneered: "He's the only one who thinks so much. There are countless poor people who are killed every day in this world."

Cursing her lips, Tao Hua said: "So you are a treacherous minister, and he is a wise king, that's the difference."

She once wondered whether Shen Zaiye wanted to sit on the throne himself?After all, he has this ability.But now she found out that if this person becomes the emperor, then maybe the common people should suffer. Shen Zaiye has self-knowledge. Although he is not a kind person, he has no intention of harming the common people.

Good luck!
Snorting unhappily, Shen rode his horse in the wild and said: "Everyone is a husband and wife, why leave you here, and you have to contradict everything I say?"

"Didn't Master get used to it early on?" Blinking, Tao Hua said: "I just like to tell the truth."

That is to rely on him to spoil her, otherwise she should have been severely punished in the mansion, as early as when she contradicted him for the first time.After all, it's something I'm used to!
Then suffer it yourself.

Mu Wuxia stood on the top of the mountain, looked at the small tomb in front of him, put fragrant fruit and lit incense, and stood there for a long time.

What he wants to do is now being completed step by step, and the world will eventually become what he wants. If this person knows in Jiuquan, I wonder if he will be more comfortable. His mother and sister are living a good life. up.

Unfortunately, he never survived.

Just as I was feeling a little melancholy, a very familiar voice came from behind.

"Look, it is said that His Majesty will probably be here."

Slightly taken aback, Mu Wuxia turned around and saw Jiang Taohua, she was still as bright and charming as before, holding Shen Zaye's hand, bouncing towards him.

It's been a long time, Mu Wuxia smiled, turned to meet her, looked at her, then looked up at Shen Zaye: "You are back."

"I wanted to surprise His Majesty, but I didn't expect to be surprised by His Majesty." Shen Zaye glanced at the tombstone at the back: "You are now the Ninth Five-Year Lord, what are you doing in this kind of place?"

Mu Wuxia said: "Even though you are the Ninth Five-Year Honor, you shouldn't forget why I sit on this seat. There are many things to weigh on the throne, and sometimes you even lose your heart. Every time this happens, I will come Check it out here."

As he said at the beginning, if he wanted to save the people in the world, he didn't just save any one person, but let them all live a good life.This tomb is a reminder to him that he lives in peace and security, but there are still many people in the world waiting for him to save.

Therefore, even if he didn't want to, he still had to marry the Princess of Zhao.

Seeing his expression, Shen Zaiye frowned, and was about to ask him what happened, but Taohua pushed him: "Master, go down the mountain and wait, I will talk to Your Majesty later."

Glancing at her, Shen Zaye nodded and left obediently.

Mu Wuxia was a little surprised, and stared blankly at his back until he had completely disappeared, before sighing: "Sister Jiang is really amazing."

There was a pavilion not far away, Taohua invited him over, and said with a smile: "Master Xiang knows that you can't talk to him, so he just trusts me. He can also see that His Majesty has something on his mind."

With a wry smile, Mu Wuxia lowered her eyes: "I just can't figure it out all of a sudden, who am I living for?"

For the world, or for yourself?

Tao Huaran: "You don't want to marry someone you don't like?"

"I've never met each other before, so how can I like it?" Mu Wuxia sighed: "Once you marry, you can't live up to it, but if you don't belong to the same road at all, then what should I do?"

Tao Hua shrugged: "When I got married, I didn't even know Mr. Xiang. There are too many blind marriages in this world, all relying on fate. Why should your majesty take it too seriously? The reason why Princess Zhao married you is because Zhao Guo Up and down is stable. The reason why you married her is only to annex the Zhao country better, so that everyone can get what they need. Isn't the matter of relationship considered last?"

Mu Wuxia was taken aback for a moment, and looked at her nervously: "Sister Jiang knows about Zhao Guo?"

"Yeah." Taohua smiled: "It's already like this, that's good, the world will be unified sooner or later, so that wars can be avoided."

Mu Wuxia pursed his lips, he knew about Jiang Changjue and regretted it for a long time.Shen Zaiye wrote in a letter saying that Jiang Changjue was just traveling far away, not dead.

However, looking at Sister Jiang's expression now, he always felt that she knew everything.

Sighing softly, Mu Wuxia changed the topic: "It's rare to meet such a fate in this world as sister and prime minister."

"The fate between the concubine and the prime minister?" Taohua laughed: "There is not much fate at all, it is all calculated and forced to support it. But in the end, it has been a full moon. Your Majesty, what do you think about the relationship in this world? The most unfathomable?"

"I don't understand." Mu Wuxia shook his head: "It's not just pure feelings. After calculating and using each other, can the two really be together as if nothing had happened?"

"How should I put it?" Taohua thought for a while: "It's not that nothing happened, but after going through so much, we found that we really love each other, and this is the reason we can be together well. For example, he Knowing that Chang Jue is dead, he lied to me that he was not dead, for fear that I would be sad. But I knew he was lying to me, but in order to make him feel better, I pretended to be cheated. It was deception and calculation, but it was all Thinking of doing good for the other party."

As she said that, she raised her head and glanced at Mu Wuxia: "Actually, Chang Jue is dead. He died from Queen Lu's Gu poison. There is no antidote and no turning point, isn't it?"

Mu Wuxia was taken aback.

This child is honest, after hearing what she said, she thought that Taohua really knew about this, and forgot that she was changing the subject, and nodded along with her words: "Sister Jiang's condolences, Chang Jue died well, that poisonous poison It's really too vicious, Chang Jue also knew that his life was not long, so he arranged a way out for Zhao Guo."

Her face turned pale, and Taohua closed her eyes.

If she really died like this, as a sister, she didn't know anything.Empress Lu must have been alive to poison him, that is to say, Chang Jue had already been poisoned when they were still in Zhao State.

That silly child didn't say a word to her, he was still fighting against the enemy, dealing with the people of Wei.

"Sister Jiang?" Seeing that the person in front of her was crying, Mu Wuxia was a little dumbfounded, and quickly handed her the handkerchief.Tao Hua took it and wiped her face, then said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, please hide this concubine's identity from Mr. Xiang, so I don't know anything when I am a concubine."

She came to the capital to ask about the cause of Chang Jue's death.There is no one left, not even an enemy left for her, she can't do anything, so there is no need to add trouble to Shen Zaiye.

Looking at her with complicated eyes, Mu Wuxia nodded, and then said: "In this case, then sister, please take it easy and go back to the palace with me. The marriage is coming soon, and the capital will be lively. If my sister really can't figure it out, just let me go back to the palace." When Changjue really travels far away, it will be easier."
