Chapter 274 Being a king is worse than being a dog!
Bai Jingyuan couldn't find a way out in confusion and felt that living in this world was painful.
Far away in Chunshan, his nominal grandfather didn't feel that he was living easily.
Zheng State has many mountains. The reason why Chunshan is so lucky is to be the royal capital because the mountain is smooth enough.
The low wooden buildings, stone houses, and simple thatched huts all over the mountains are like a pile of scattered ants from a distance!
Under such circumstances, the tall buildings in the palace with three or four floors are particularly conspicuous!
King Zheng loved high-rise buildings. After entering the summer, he brought the beauties to move into the Lanyue Tower east of the palace as usual.
In previous years, whenever he had drunk and had fun with the beauty, and he often stayed up all night when he was happy.
After nightfall, the darkness of the King of Zheng was in the capital. The Chinese people who had not yet rested often looked at the tall buildings in the distance from afar, and their kings were absurd. Some older people would sigh a few words of the past with reminiscence on their faces.
Thinking back then, their king was also a young man with high spirits!
Unfortunately, time is ruthless and it is the same for everyone.
However, this year, this tall building has been quiet all the time.
The king no longer feasts and enjoys fun all day, and the beauty no longer sings all night long.
However, news often comes in the palace that the king has been angry recently!
Every time the king gets angry, he either kicks the wall and the window, or pulls the belt and hangs the beam. He occasionally gets angry and spits around and curses. He is really no different from ordinary shrews!
So the Chinese people shook their heads in private and guessed whether there was something wrong with the king?
It was another night when the Chinese people were imagining. King Zheng crossed his face and legs, and sat on a tall building like an old hooligan, walking his birds. A few years ago, the Chu State began to be popular with a kind of crotch-sealed shorts worn inside, and King Zheng scoffed at this.
He still likes to wear it like before. When he went to court, whenever he was unhappy, he could sit with his legs on his back and unscrupulously humiliate the ministers who were ruthlessly above the throne.
Whenever their faces turned blue and white, he almost felt very happy!
The reason why his face was so bad tonight was because these ministers were forcing him again!
He had known for a long time...
During these days, the wrinkles on his face became deeper, the white hair on his head became more, and the number of times he slapped his face was more.
He has been immersed in beauty wine for too long. This time, in order to capture Jingshan Kingdom, he was like a piece of charcoal, bursting out the last heat!
With this momentum of trying to achieve his goal regardless of everything, he finally overwhelmed the conservative aristocratic party and successfully sent envoys to Chu State to form an alliance.
Although things are a bit imperfect, those old people must let their own people be the messengers, but this is enough for King Zheng.
Because his daughter has a deep relationship with her mother, this is a fact!
However, just as he was full of expectations, news of bandits causing chaos came from Chu State.
The messenger he had high hopes did not bring him the news he wanted, but instead died on the road.
News came from the State of Chu that the King of Chu, who was filial to his mother, decided to come to Chunshan for his mother to visit his sick grandmother.
After hearing this news, King Zheng had no time to be happy, he heard that the mission had encountered bandits and was completely destroyed. The King of Chu happened to be here and decided to suppress the bandits.
This bandit has been suppressed for several months.
He wanted to pretend that he didn't know the trick, and he didn't give up and sent an envoy again, but the middle-aged families unanimously opposed it.
What's more, as time passed, a voice began to come out of the court, saying that the messenger's death was Ren Xiu expressing his dissatisfaction.
If he provokes her again, she will make him look good!
As a daughter, she can't treat her father, but who can guarantee that she will take her anger on Zheng State?
Therefore, some people think that his morality and unworthiness will not only not make Zheng State stronger, but will instead bring disaster to the country!
No one has ever said this before, but he never cared, because even if these ministers were dissatisfied with him, they would not dare to bully him blatantly.
He has long been no wise ruler, but these people want to be famous officials.
Even Xiang Ji, the old man who was immortal, could only rely on marrying a daughter to be the queen of her, and teach him knowledge. He occasionally stood in the perspective of his elders, scolded him a few words, or chased him and beat him up in a hypocritical manner. In fact, he still regarded him as the king.
If he really wants him to do something excessive, he is afraid that he is even more afraid than King Zheng!
Because in his opinion, his good reputation as a loyal minister cannot be defiled!
But recently, he vaguely heard people's discussion that the foolish king should abdicate the prince who is clear-headed - they all agreed that the queen's eldest son was the prince. Even if King Zheng had not conferred him, he still enfeoffed him far away to the desolate border and did not allow him to come back.
King Zheng felt a strong sense of oppression!
He dared to act evil in the past because no matter what he did, he was a king. Even if he had no rights, he could still enjoy everything about the king.
Now these ministers have decided to abandon their past persistence and, regardless of their reputation, have to support the rebellious son to the throne. What will be the one who greets him?
Even though he had fought with Ji Xiang for a lifetime, he still never thought that this old man who was loyal to the royal family and firmly believed that "the king is the king, and the minister is the minister" would do this one day!
Will they kill him?
Or do he be under house arrest? Lie that he is too ill to govern the government?
He is not dead yet! The little bastard just wants to get to power!
So impatient?
After so many years of all countries, no one has survived, and his son succeeded to the throne!
Even if the father is seriously ill, his filial son will at most help with government affairs. He will not announce his succession until his father smiles in his heart.
But what about this rebellious son?
"It is better to be a dog than to be a king!"
King Zheng stood up and quietly looked at the sleeping city in the distance.
At this moment, he suddenly felt disappointed and felt that instead of struggling like this for the rest of his life and having to endure such humiliation when he was old, it would be better to just be a little bit.
Speaking of which, even the old peasants in the city can enjoy the joy of their children and grandchildren when they are old and cannot do anything, and the filial piety of their descendants in the future. Unlike him, he is obviously the king of this country, but he cannot do anything. He will encounter such a thing when he is old!
He could not bear to be driven off the throne by his son, nor tolerate his ministers' betrayal. Instead of being abandoned by this world, he did not want to struggle and decided to abandon this world first.
He pulled out his exquisite belt, his loose arms gently swayed, and the belt wrapped around the beam.
After two strokes, King Zheng stepped on the long case and hung up.
Outside the wide window, there were stars. Just as the night was about to swallow him, he suddenly became unwilling to give up.
But in order to die, he just kicked the long case under his feet.
Fear came, mixed with unwillingness, King Zheng shed tears and shouted to the night sky:
"Being a king! It's better to be a dog!"
"Ji's family plans to rebel, and they should be punished!"
"The rebellious son usurped the throne! He should be killed!"
"Being a king! It's better to be a dog!"
"Ji's plot to rebel..."
...
Before his death, he cried and roared with tears and roared almost all his strength, drifted across the night sky and spread out from the palace walls, and spread far and far in the unobstructed Spring Mountain!
There was a sound of smashing the door downstairs. Until now, the servants discovered that after the king drove them out, they actually closed the door!
This tall building can be used as a military fortress whenever he has no choice. It was built by King Zheng for his own safety after Ji's forced life.
The lower half of it is stone and the upper half is wood. Even if it is burned, it cannot be achieved.
The roars gradually disappeared, and the Chinese people who were closer to the eastern palace wall stood up one after another to hear these three sentences clearly!
King Zheng finally couldn't grasp the belt and fell down with force...
Tonight, the night is so beautiful!
Chapter completed!
