Tyrant I am from MI9

Chapter 7

After working for half a day, it finally cleared up.Fragrant Orange was carefully replaced with a pot of fresh tea. In the warm inner court, Concubine Lan and Taifu Zhuang had been sitting opposite each other for half an hour.

Taifu Zhuang with slightly white temples was wearing a Confucian shirt in blue, with a simple blue belt around his waist and linen black boots under his feet. He looked clean and simple. Sitting in this resplendent Lanting Hall, he felt a bit shabby , is not at all like the treacherous villain who betrayed the master and treason for the sake of glory and wealth in the rumors outside.Sitting for half an hour made his waist feel a little uncomfortable. He frowned slightly and moved his body lightly, but he didn't want to startle the woman in brocade who bowed her head and sipped tea.Qing Xia slowly raised her head, glanced at him meaningfully, but still didn't say a word.

Are you patient?She has it all.

"Xia'er, do you blame your father?" Finally, unable to endure such silent embarrassment, Mrs. Zhuang, who has turned his hands into clouds and rain in the political arena for decades, couldn't help but ask first.

Qingxia is dressed in a gorgeous dress, her face is like ice and snow, she is wearing a necklace of eight treasures, her temples are like fairy water flowing clouds, she raised her cold face, smiled coldly, and said softly: "Qingxia is just a pawn in your hand, you Why bother to care about the feelings of a chess piece. What does it matter if it's strange or not?"

Mrs. Zhuang frowned, and looked at Qing Xia with some pain, after a long time, he let out a long breath, and said in a deep voice: "You really have changed, the former you would not say such things to my father words."

"Changed?" Qing Xia sneered, straightened her back, raised her head slightly, and said lightly: "As a father, you know what your daughter is thinking, but you use such a sinister method to take advantage of her feelings. Zhuang Qingxia If you were still the Zhuang Qingxia from before, you shouldn't be sitting here and gossiping with you at this moment. Bai Ling has a glass of poisoned wine, and he should have died a long time ago. You are already ruthless to this point, why bother to pretend to be merciful in front of me? How about making fun of your father?"

Taifu Zhuang's face froze, revealing a hint of helplessness and pain. He looked at Qing Xia with deep eyes, and finally said seriously: "Xia'er, you may hate me now, but one day, you will understand me as a father. Your good intentions. Southern Chu is the place where you live in peace, and Prince Li is the man you should be worthy of in your life. Regarding this point, my father will never regret making such a decision for you."

Qing Xia was noncommittal, and smiled coldly, with the corners of her mouth slightly drawn up, showing a hint of sarcasm.Zhuang Taifu's face sank for a moment, and for a moment, as if he had aged many years, he said decadently: "Xia'er, my father will go to Daqi tomorrow, the journey is far away, and the day of meeting is far away. You Is there anything else you want to say to your father?"

Looking at the real Zhuang Qingxia's father, Qingxia suddenly didn't know what to say.I have been an orphan since I was five years old in modern times, and the word father has long been out of reach for me.Before seeing Zhuang Dianru, she only thought that this must be another feudal patriarch who sacrificed his daughter's happiness for his own fame and wealth, but when she actually saw him, all her plans were shattered immediately, and she looked at his slightly bent back. A sense of sadness comes from the heart.Large areas of desolation hit her heart, making her unable to tell whether it was Zhuang Qingxia's sorrow or her own sorrow.

She sighed helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "What else is there to smell? Everything is already so obvious. The so-called private possession of men's belongings and confusing the court before are just a bureau. Even if I don't resist Concubine Dan, you have There are other ways to convict me. Isn’t all this fanfare just to lure Prince Da Qi into a trap? From now on, Zhuang Qingxia’s reputation of being promiscuous, promiscuous, and shameless will be spread throughout the world, and will last forever. The world is so big, except for the Nanchu Palace, There is no place for me to settle down anymore, isn't this what you want me to understand?"

"Father," Qing Xia stood up suddenly, walked to Zhuang Dianru's side, looked into the old man's eyes, and asked seriously: "Can you tell me why you betrayed Qi State and came to Southern Chu. The nobles of Daqi have a prosperous family background, and the king of Daqi respects the Zhuang family very much. Qingxia was already a prince and concubine in Daqi that day, and becoming the mother of a country is just around the corner. The prosperity of the Zhuang family is just around the corner, and you are another three dynasties The patriarch, you are the Taiwei of the current dynasty, gold, silver, treasure, wealth and glory are at your fingertips. Why would you risk the world, betray the master and betray the country, and help Chu Li, who was a hostage in Qi at that time, escape, and make this huge gamble with the fate of the family? You are not someone who is greedy for glory, what are you doing for?"

Taifu Zhuang's body shook, and he raised his head in disbelief, staring closely at the eyes of the daughter he was no longer familiar with, his lips trembling, unable to speak for a long time.Finally, with a trembling wry smile, he said dejectedly: "Xia'er, you have finally grown up. Finally, I still can't lie to you."

Taifu Zhuang closed his eyes slightly, thought for a long time, and then said in a deep voice: "I think back then, the First Emperor pacified the world and created an inexhaustible achievement. Later, the Second Emperor Wu pacified the outside world and created a prosperous and prosperous world of great unity. People's lives were stable. Live and work in peace and contentment. What a happy situation in a peaceful and prosperous age. Who knows, 300 years ago, the princes rebelled and the fire broke out everywhere, and the Qin family was unable to stabilize the country. If it weren't for the luck of the emperor Sun Zhaoyang, I am afraid that Qin would not even be able to maintain a corner of peace. For 300 years, All the countries are fighting, and the lives of the people are miserable and miserable. Although the four countries are calm on the surface, they are actually undercurrents. Although Qi is rich and prosperous, there is a fatal wound. That is the Japanese pirates and barbarians who are constantly beating the Rao border along the southeast coast. Besides, there is the Huarong Trail left by Xichuan on purpose in the north, which can be driven straight by the Huns, and it is connected to the South Chu in the west, and suppressed by the strong Qin in the northwest. Therefore, no matter how strong the army is, and the famous generals come forth in large numbers, they cannot save the defeat. They are surrounded by enemies Under the circumstances, sooner or later, they will be beaten and eaten away. It is not a place to stay forever."

Qing Xia frowned, and said puzzledly: "Although Chu has a favorable terrain and is rich in iron ore. But although the swords and guns are powerful, the soldiers and horses are not strong. The soldiers are not as brave as Qin, and the horses are not as strong as Xichuan. Why did father come here?"

Taifu Zhuang nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice: "You live in the boudoir, and it is extraordinary to have this insight. But you can't see the overall situation. Although Qin has a strong army and a vast area, but since the second Afterwards, the crown prince system was abolished, and the election system was introduced, and the strong Qin declined. The internal affairs were unclear, and the princes competed for power. If there is no way to improve the strong Qin one day, it will be difficult to look east. The king of Song was brutal, and the people of Xichuan were not changed. A country of barbarians is nothing to be afraid of. On the other hand, Southern Chu, although its troops are not strong, has a dangerous terrain, and behind it is a huge granary in southern Xinjiang. The old man is fortunate to be able to assist the virtuous king to calm the world, stop the war, and restore peace to the world, which is a blessing from heaven."

Speaking of this, Taifu Zhuang couldn't help raising his head, staring closely at Qingxia's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Xia'er, Prince Li is astonishingly beautiful, Southern Chu is far away from the ravages of war, and it is a peaceful and happy land. Father doesn't I beg your mother to honor the world, and only wishing you a safe life is my father's greatest wish."

Hearing the words, Qing Xia smiled bitterly, and couldn't help but look deeply at the elderly man, frowned and said: "I want her to live a safe life, so why let her marry into the palace. Once you enter the palace gate, it's as deep as the sea, you Don't you understand?"

Taifu Zhuang shook his head slightly, and said slowly: "If you want to settle down in this world, you must have the capital to survive. Only by standing at the highest place can you have the right to freedom, and I just want to give you this kind of freedom."

Qing Xia couldn't help laughing, shook her head helplessly, the heights are overwhelming, but she doesn't know that this monstrous wealth is an invisible shackle, in prison, what freedom is there to talk about.Qingxia turned around slowly, facing the tiny icicles of a tree outside the window, winter is coming quietly, even in Nanchu, there is a howling cold wind.She gently opened the small open window, and said: "Father is not a good father, but he is a great sage who cares about the world. You are not for fame, fortune, wealth and glory, but for the ideals in your heart. In this world, if you want to achieve some ideals, you must make some sacrifices and give up something. From the perspective of the righteousness of the world, I admire you, but from the perspective of Zhuang Qingxia, I cannot forgive you. Take care, Tai Fu."

Taifu Zhuang burst into tears all of a sudden, torrential like rain, and had a rough life for half of his life. He was criticized by the people all over the world, but he didn't expect that the one who knew him best was his daughter who was repeatedly used by him.Listening to Qing Xia's words, from father to Tai Tuo's address, he suddenly found painfully that this daughter whom he didn't care about before was really going to leave him.Something slipped quietly in his heart, whether everything he had done was worth it.

The long wind from the hall instantly poured in, rolling up Qingxia's loose robe, how is that infatuated man who came to rob the prison now?
Somewhere, who failed whom?

Before noon, all kinds of news spread to Lanting Hall intentionally or unintentionally through various weird channels.Qing Xia An sat on a luxurious reclining chair, dressed luxuriously, with a cold face, and sent away several seventh-rank beauties in Yingge Pavilion with sharp eyes.

The three noon bells sounded continuously, and on the official horse post road outside Shengdu, thick smoke billowed, horseshoes were like snow, and the snowflake-like emergency report poured into the heart of Shengdu like snowflakes in the twelfth lunar month of winter. A new round of wind and rain began to stir again.

Chu Li went through all these troubles, of course, not just to repay the humiliation he suffered when Daqi Shoudu was hostage that day.Prince Qi An was imprisoned in the sky prison in Shengdu, guarded by Tiefutu, the imperial guard of Shengdu, and the guards were so tight that even a fly could not enter.

Two days later, the two countries of Qi and Chu who were at war suddenly stopped fighting, and Qi retreated for [-] miles and camped in Yunling Yiyi, Shoushan Mountain.But at the same time, Da Qi was secretly dispatching troops. According to reports from Southern Chu's spies, the Seventh Army of the Juyongguan Western Defense Line, commanded by King Jingjiang, was rushing forward and had already reached the Minglan Mountains.Moreover, Da Qi's treasury was exhausted and he bought military supplies from Qiang Qin at a high price. In just two days, a large amount of food and grass had been gathered.Things are obviously developing in one direction. If Prince Qi'an is injured in the slightest, Qi will devote all his power to put pressure on the whole front of Nanchu.
