Qingling Punishing Heart

Chapter 133 Qingqiu's Last Dream
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty..."

Zhou Tianzi heard a vague voice with a very urgent tone:

"Wake up, Your Majesty! If you persist for a while, the tribute ceremony will be over."

Zhou Tianzi rubbed his eyes, slowly raised his eyelids, and found that it was Xibo Jifu who woke him up from his sleep.

Envoys from various countries stood respectfully in the hall, as if they had been waiting for a long time.Many people rubbed their eyes like Zhou Tianzi, as if they had just taken a nap.

Ji Gongyan scratched his head blankly, feeling as if he suddenly forgot something.

Li Hongxi's eyes were bright, and he looked around vigilantly. Apparently, apart from Xibo Jifu, he was the only one who realized that he had just been subjected to the nightmare technique.

However, there were no figures of Su Ji and Li Rumei in the hall, as if these two people had never appeared here before.A trace of uneasiness suddenly appeared on Li Hongxi's face, and his eyes suddenly turned to Xibo Jifu.

Xibo Jifu shook his head and signaled Li Hongxi with his eyes to keep quiet for now.

Zhou Tianzi scanned the hall blankly, and finally set his eyes on Xibo Jifu.

"Aiqing, I seem to have had a dream just now..." Zhou Tianzi closed his eyes slightly, glanced around, and recalled: "...that dream happened in this hall, and there was purple air coming from the east, as if someone was coming Harm the widow. Until now... the widow still has lingering fears."

"Your Majesty, everyone has dreams, just ignore them." Xibo Jifu replied lightly.

"Everyone's dream is naturally ignored, but the widow is the son of heaven. The dream of the son of heaven is a sign of heaven, how can we take it lightly?" Zhou Tianzi turned his gaze to the people in the hall and asked: "About the widow's dream, what do you guys think? Look?"

Everyone lowered their heads and looked at each other, but no one dared to answer casually.

Zhou Tianzi sighed, glanced at the mountain of treasures, and asked suspiciously: "...I don't seem to have seen Shen's treasures this year."

The eunuch who was in charge of counting the treasures replied: "Your Majesty, there is no tribute from the State of Shen. It seems that the State of Shen did not send an envoy to pay tribute this year."

"It's unreasonable!" Zhou Tianzi was furious, he held the armrest of the dragon chair tightly, and said sharply: "How dare a mere defeated country look down on me!"

Hearing that Zhou Tianzi seemed to have the faint intention of raising troops to attack Shen Guo again, the envoys from various countries showed expressions of gloating.

At this moment, a childish voice came from the hall:

"Father, this dream reminds the child of a story." Ji Gongyan stood up and said.

Seeing Ji Gongyan in coir raincoat appearing in the hall, Emperor Zhou couldn't help feeling strange, and immediately asked:

"The prince wants to interpret the dream for the father like Duke Zhou?"

Ji Gongzhen nodded vigorously, "Father, have you heard the legend about King Wu of Zhou dreaming in Qingqiu?"

"Qingqiu City?" Zhou Tianzi repeated in a murmur, obviously not having heard of this legend.

"Qingqiu is a fairyland in dreams. It is said that if one day is spent in Qingqiu, a year will pass in the world. There, noon is like spring, dusk is like summer, night is like autumn, and morning is like winter. The most beautiful moments in the four seasons will be in the Alternate in the same day."

When Ji Gongzhen described Qingqiu, Xibo Jifu lowered his eyes, as if he was trying to remember something.

Zhou Tianzi asked with more interest: "If there is such a beautiful dreamland in the world, I really want to see it."

Ji Gongnie continued: "It is said that when King Wu of Zhou was dying, he often talked with Duke Zhou about a strange childhood dream. He dreamed that purple air came from the east, and he came to a place called Qingqiu in a haze, and met a woman. To grow old together, spend the whole life together, and finally greet death with a moment of peace of mind. At the end of that period of life, he returned to the beginning of his dream, when he was only seven years old. Then one day, he ran into the daughter of Hou Suhu in Jizhou and discovered her appearance He was so similar to his wife in the dream that he couldn’t help telling others about the dream. But people regarded his dream as a child’s nonsense, scoffed at him, and made fun of him in every possible way. Only he knew that his heart was no longer immature , still firmly believe that the revival of that dream is for an unprecedented change. Many years later, King Wu led eight hundred princes to attack Chaoge, disintegrating the brutal rule of King Zhou of Shang. Those who once doubted him can only submit to this man forever. Like a king of heaven and man, he submits to his power to conquer everything; those who have ridiculed him can only look up to this emperor who has power all over the world, and look up to him standing at the top of the world. From now on, no one in the world dares to stand Call him by his name. He has only one supreme title—Son of Great Zhou."

Zhou Tianzi was at a loss when he heard it, and couldn't help asking: "What is the prince trying to say when he tells this story?"

"Today, more than two hundred years after the death of King Wu, there are constant famines in various places, and the people are displaced. Shen Guo can't pay the tribute in time, but there is a reason for it. At this time, the father, like King Wu of Zhou, dreamed that the purple air came to the east. , is heralding the recurrence of reincarnation. In the past, King Zhou harmed the people of the world and lost the hearts of the people; King Wu did the opposite and loved the people. My son implores the father to follow the example of King Wu and forgive Shen Guo with your generosity, and don't pursue the matter of paying tribute .”

Emperor Zhou smiled relievedly, and said: "Your widow is sitting on the world, and a mere tribute is nothing, but the crown prince used to like the treasures of the State of Shen the most, wouldn't it be worth waiting for a year?"

"The one-year waiting for my son is nothing compared to my father's state."

As soon as the words came out, everyone in the hall couldn't help nodding their heads and showing approving eyes.Some people can't even believe that these words came from the mouth of an 11-year-old child.

Feeling radiant, Zhou Tianzi turned his head to look at Xi Bojifu, and said in a low voice: "Aiqing, what the prince said just now was taught by you?"

Xibo Jifu replied, "Not exactly."

Zhou Tianzi nodded in relief, faced everyone, and waved his hand, "Okay, I will follow the prince. Retire!"

After finishing speaking, envoys from various countries withdrew from the Beigong Hall one after another.

At this time, it was raining outside the palace.

Ji Gongyan took off his coir raincoat that was still dripping, planning to slip out with the bustling crowd.

"His Royal Highness, please wait..."

Ji Gongzhen suddenly heard Xibo Jifu's voice behind him, and immediately froze in place, her heart beating loudly.

"Teacher, the students know they are wrong." Ji Gongni lowered her head, lest the teacher would blame her.

Xibo Jifu stared at Ji Gongnie, showing a stern look, but it dimmed again in an instant, and said with a smile:

"Although His Highness the Crown Prince did not receive a gift from Shen Guo, I have something here that I want to give to Your Highness."

In the voice, Xibo Jifu slowly stretched out a fist, which seemed to hold something.

Ji Gongnie stretched out her small hand, took it carefully, and found that it was a piece of cloth for writing.Seeing that it was the piece of cloth that Li Hongxi threw to him, he instantly smiled, knowing that the teacher had forgiven him for running out of the imperial study, and decided not to complain to his father.Now for Hime Gongnie, this is a gift that makes him more happy than any novelty treasure in the world.

"Thank you, grand master!" Ji Gongni jumped up excitedly, and ran straight to the direction of the imperial study.

As soon as Ji Gongnier left, Li Hongxi, who was usually carefree, came to Xibo Jifu with a serious face, and said eagerly:

"Teacher, what should we do with the two assassins of Shen Guo just now?"

Xibo Jifu's face suddenly darkened, and he said in a deep voice: "I'm going to ask for help from experts now. General Li, please quickly lead a group of elite troops to surround Haojing, and we must not let those two assassins escape from the royal city." !"
