Qingling Punishing Heart

Chapter 129 Prince Youwang
Zhou Tianzi has often felt annoyed recently, the reason is not that Lin Zi committed a crime in public, but just feels at a loss what to do.

It is inevitable that a person will feel this way if he has too many things.Just like people who have enough food and clothing sometimes worry about what to eat for three meals a day, Zhou Tianzi often worries about which concubine he will be lucky with at night.

The number of emperors and concubines is large enough to form a huge army.There are six bureaus and 24 divisions in the harem, all of whom are filled with women from good families from all over the country. There are all kinds of beauties, which is dazzling.

Although Zhou Tianzi is the emperor, he is a man after all, and he can't love women's beauty.No matter which woman he is lucky with, he will not do it for any special reason, just to satisfy his physical needs.

However, the emperor's desire is not so easy to satisfy.A woman who is too easy to get will often make him boring.

The reason why Lin Zi was once favored by the emperor of Zhou was not because she was so gorgeous, but because she was the only woman in the harem who did not want to be touched by the emperor.Now losing such a special existence, Zhou Tianzi began to feel depressed again.

Until a minister named "Guo Shi Father" came up with a way to solve this trouble for Zhou Tianzi.

The solution is simple: Let a sheep decide where the emperor sleeps.

Zhou Tianzi sat on a sheep cart and was pulled around in the harem by a sheep.Where the sheep stop in front of the beauty's door, Zhou Tianzi will spend the night there tonight.The reason why Father Guoshi chose sheep was that sheep were weak and poor in physical strength, and they would stop when they encountered steps or thresholds, but horses or cows would not have this effect.

However, there are policies and countermeasures.Those concubines who wanted to get close to the emperor of Zhou, some put bamboo leaves in front of the door, some sprinkled salt water on the ground, and some directly sprinkled salt water on the grass and bamboo leaves to tempt the sheep pulling the cart. Stop in front of your own door.Sheep are particularly interested in salt, and will stop naturally when they smell the salt.

As the saying goes, the height of the devil is one foot and the height of the road is ten feet high.If the concubine is the way, the emperor is the devil.The concubines racked their brains just to conceive a "devil seed".With so many women taking great pains to continue the incense for the emperor, it is difficult for the emperor Zhou to have fewer heirs.

No one knows how many heirs the Emperor Zhou has, because the number is increasing every day.But everyone knows that Zhou Tianzi's favorite son will always be only one——Ji Gongyan.

On a gloomy afternoon, the humid wind blows into the imperial study room, mixed with small invisible water droplets, which makes people feel cool and comfortable on the face.

Ji Gongyan couldn't sit still.

There are not many things in this world that can make this 11-year-old little prince restless, but today he doesn't even have the mind to study at all.

What is it that shakes this little prince who is loved by thousands of people?
If you ask Ji Gongyu himself this question, he will definitely tell you excitedly that today is the most anticipated day of the year.Because every year at this time, envoys from various vassal states will come to Haojing from all directions to present the most precious treasures as tributes.

However, not every tribute from each vassal state can be favored by the little prince.

Ji Gongzhen was born in the emperor's family with a gold spoon in his mouth. He didn't think it was unusual for him to have any diamonds or pearls. To him, such beautiful emeralds and agates were nothing more than stones.Anything that interests him is definitely a unique treasure in this world.

Shen Guo is the only country in the world that can offer such a treasure, and Shen Guo is the only country that can make Ji Gongyan distracted.Shen Guo's annual tribute can make Ji Gongyan excited for a whole year.

Shen Guo's tribute doesn't look like a priceless treasure at first glance, but everyone must admit that Shen Guo's tribute, no matter how much money anyone spends, will never be able to buy it.

What impressed Ji Gongzhen the most was that one year, Shen Guo used eight sedan chairs to carry a big ape.This ape's fur is gray and white, except that it is larger than ordinary monkeys, its appearance is basically the same as that of ordinary apes.

Miraculously, this white ape can speak human language every night when the moon is full. Not only can it talk freely with people, but it can also predict what will happen in the future.

The White Ape once predicted that a Rong tribe in the north would have rebellious intentions. The Emperor Zhou sent people to investigate and verify, and found that there were indeed people plotting rebellion there.Zhou Tianzi immediately sent troops to encircle and suppress him, and won a complete victory by attacking him unprepared.The white ape made great achievements as soon as he entered the palace, and all the subsequent prophecies were all fulfilled, and now he has become the treasure of the town.

Whenever he thought of that white ape, Ji Gongyan would have many guesses about Shen Guo's tribute this year.Helplessly, today finally came the long-awaited day, but he had to sit here and study.

Xibo Jifu, as the prince's teacher, was looking at the dense rain clouds outside the window at this time, his clear profile was as calm as usual.

Ji Gongzhen knew that the teacher's position just happened to be able to see a corner of Beigong.

Thinking that the envoys from all over the world would send the tribute there, Ji Gongyan wished he could run out immediately to see what happened, but he didn't do that, he just secretly aimed his eyes at a ruler in Xi Bojifu's hand.

Because the seven-inch long piece of wood was bestowed by the emperor of Zhou, its value doubled, and it became Ji Gongyu's biggest fear.Although Ji Gongzhen was an emperor, he had no choice but to obey Xi Bo Jifu's orders.Everything he does now is to change from a prince to a qualified emperor.

In fact, Ji Gongzhen didn't fully understand the benefits of being an emperor, but because it was the queen mother's wish, so he had to work hard towards this goal.He often envies those ordinary people in the city who can waste their youth at will, just like a canary in a cage envies a sparrow flying freely.

Ji Gongyan lowered his head, his butt rubbed back and forth on the mahogany stool, his knees were itchy, as if he was urging him to stand up quickly and go wherever he wanted to go.

At this time, there was a "whoosh" in my ear!
Ji Gongyan's head was suddenly hit by something!
At first he thought he had been hit by a ruler, but when he looked at Xibo Jifu, he found that the teacher still had his back turned to him and did not move.

Slightly relieved, cold sweat trickled down his forehead, Ji Gongyan searched for the thing that hit him from the corner of his eye, and finally found a cloth ball wrapped in stones under the table.

Just as he was about to reach out to pick up the cloth ball, Ji Gongyan suddenly saw a dry and thin hand pick it up first!Slowly raising his head, he saw Xibo Jifu opening the cloth ball in front of him, throwing away the stones inside, his sharp eyes streaming over the cloth, his facial features slightly gathered together because of anger, but he never said a word.

This is by no means a good sign, Ji Gongyan thought so.

Xibo Jifu's silence was far more terrifying to Ji Gongyan than a reprimand.Based on his previous experience, if Xibo Jifu didn't punish a mistake, he would probably go to talk to Emperor Zhou.

Ji Gongyan was most afraid of seeing his father's disappointed eyes.That kind of faint gaze seems to be able to burn people, even worse than being hit a hundred times with a ruler.He was always afraid that Xibo Jifu would stir up trouble like this from time to time, which would shake his position in the heart of his father.

At this time, Ji Gongyan hoped that Xibo Jifu would beat people with a ruler as usual, as long as he didn't go to his father to complain, Ji Gongyan was even willing to do anything.

At this moment, his heart has completely surrendered.He wanted to tell Xibo Jifu that as long as he didn't sue his father, Ji Gongyan would concentrate on studying and not go anywhere.Just before Ji Gongyan opened his mouth to beg for forgiveness, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Ji Gongzhen stared blankly at the door, his open mouth froze instantly, and a man dressed as a eunuch walked in.

The man is burly and tall, but his walking posture looks like a big girl, even more charming than the girl, which makes people feel very funny.

"Your Majesty has an important matter to discuss, please go there immediately." The man lowered his head and said to Xibo Jifu in a soft tone.

Xibo Jifu remained calm, just looking at the man dressed as a eunuch on the spot.

The man's head was lowered, and his eyes began to drift away, like a shy girl avoiding Mr. Ruyi's gaze.

At this time, Ji Gongzhen suddenly discovered that the temples of this "eunuch" were bald, as if he had never grown hair...

It was him!

The corners of Ji Gongzhen's mouth could not help but rise slightly, and suddenly realized.That man was not an eunuch, but a descendant of Li Jing, the commander-in-chief of Chentangguan in the Shang Dynasty, a bald general known as the "Super God of War", named "Li Hongxi".He also has a younger brother who is a Taoist priest and has a bald head like him.

It is said that since the generation of great-grandfather Li Hongxi, the descendants of the Li family, regardless of gender, have never had long hair.Some people say that this is the karmic result of their family's military service for generations and heavy killings. Li Hongxi firmly believes in this, and often feels distressed by his bald head.

Ji Gongyan broke into a cold sweat, feeling that Li Hongxi's current behavior was like adding fuel to the flames. How could a cunning "old fox" like Xibo Jifu be easily deceived by such little tricks?

However, to Ji Gongzhen's surprise, Xibo Jifu didn't seem to notice anything, and just bowed to himself and said:
"I will retire first, and I hope His Royal Highness will keep what he has learned in mind, and put the country and the country as the most important thing, and don't play around with things to lose one's ambition."

In the voice, Xibo Jifu opened the confiscated cloth strip in front of Ji Gongyan, read it again intentionally, then turned and left.

This move was obviously a threat, and Ji Gongyan had already scolded his teacher thousands of times in his heart.

While Xibo Jifu wasn't paying attention, Li Hongxi felt that he had accomplished everything, so he secretly made a face at Ji Gongxuan.

Is it really so messed up?Ji Gongyan's heart was eager to move, as long as Xibo Jifu walked away, he could go straight to Beigong.

"Wait a minute..."

Xibo Jifu spoke slowly, and suddenly stopped.

Li Hongxi and Ji Gongyan shook at the same time, this subtle movement betrayed them instantly!

Ji Gongyan turned his head stiffly.Xibo Jifu happened to meet his eyes, and his old and sharp eyes had already seen the changes in the two of them just now.

Before Xibo Jifu could speak, Li Hongxi lost his composure, and suddenly pulled off the high hat on top of his head, exposing the bright top of his head, and shouted:
"What are you waiting for? Run!" Li Hongxi's tone was like that of a bandit in the green forest.

Now that the matter has come to this point, Ji Gongyu couldn't care about that much anymore, so he immediately put aside the scroll in his hand and waited for an opportunity.

"His Royal Highness!"

Xibo Jifu made a threatening sound, implying that he was reminding Ji Gongyan that he still had something in his hands.

Ji Gongyan bit her lip, looked at Xibo Jifu, looked at Li Hongxi, and thought about the treasure of Shen Guo that she couldn't wait to see...

After hesitating for a moment, he finally gritted his teeth and jumped out the window to escape!
However, even though he jumped out of the window, Xibo Jifu grabbed Ji Gongyan's collar from behind, kicking his legs desperately, unable to land.

Seeing this, Li Hongxi quickly rolled up his sleeves, and reached out to snatch the ruler from Xi Bojifu's other hand.Although Li Hongxi is less than 20 years old, his strength is astonishing.Even with all his strength, Xibo Jifu could barely hold on to him.

Xibo Jifu's ruler was bestowed by the emperor, and any damage to it would be a serious crime.He didn't dare to let go, and he was afraid that the ruler would be broken, so he was sweating profusely.

"Leave this to me, Your Highness, let's go!" Li Hongxi shouted: "I heard that Shen Guo's envoy is an expert named Mr. Hu, so this year's treasure must be extraordinary!"

Ji Gongyan was overjoyed, and while struggling, he shouted: "Big bald head! If I see Mr. Fox, I will definitely ask you how to make your hair grow!"

Li Hongxi was also overjoyed, with a light touch on his hand, Xibo Jifu's whole body was thrown away by him!
"Teacher... I'm sorry, I offended you."

Li Hongjun turned his head and smiled guiltyly, stretched out his hands respectfully, and returned the ruler to Xibo Jifu.

Xibo Jifu sighed, looked down and saw that there was only an empty brocade robe left in his hand, Ji Gongzhen had already shed his shell and fled;

　Ji Gongyan: Posthumous title, King You of Zhou.Son of Ji Jing, King Xuan of Zhou, the No.12 ruler of the Western Zhou Dynasty.In history, a generation of subjugated kings, in order to win the smile of their favorite concubine [Baosi], once staged a farce of "beacon fire opera princes".
