This time it was Xue Yeer's turn to be shocked: "Shi Huiniang? She, didn't she fall off the cliff and die with that assassin?"
Liu Ziqiu chuckled and said: "Seeing is believing, hearing is believing. People from Yu Wenji told me that the Queen has been killed, but isn't the Queen still alive and well? As for the assassin who fell off the cliff, he is also alive and well.
Living, that is Liu."
Fan Lihua suddenly asked in a deep voice: "Liu Ziqiu, what do you want to do?"
Liu Ziqiu shook his head and said: "Liu didn't want to do anything. You can't tell anyone anything, let alone tell Miss Xue. Xiu'er has always felt that the person she was most sorry for was Miss Xue, so Liu felt that Miss Xue was qualified to know the truth.
Yang Guang did not punish Miss Xue, it seems that he is not a stupid person."
Fan Lihua snorted coldly: "The emperor is very talented, but he is not a fool in the first place!"
Yang Guang treats women very well, especially beautiful women. Fan Lihua and Xue Yeer are nominally Yang Guang's women. Although Yang Guang has never favored them, he treats them well and usually rewards them very generously. As a military household
Fan Lihua also has some sense of loyalty in her daughter. Since Yang Guang is good to her, she doesn't think Yang Guang is a fool, and she doesn't want to hear others slander Yang Guang.
"Not bad!" To Fan Lihua's surprise, Liu Ziqiu actually nodded seriously and said, "Yang Guang is indeed not mediocre, he is even very wise! He opened the imperial examination and broke the monopoly of aristocratic families for thousands of years.
The way to be an official. He built a canal to connect the north and the south, which will be beneficial to the future! He led the western expedition and smoothed the trade routes between the east and the west. His far-reaching vision is difficult for others to reach! With the dignity of an emperor, he can visit the bitter and cold places in person, which is really impressive.
People admire you!”
Fan Lihua's eyes widened, as if she had just met Liu Ziqiu today: "You, do you really think so?"
Liu Ziqiu nodded, but then said: "However, you can't just look at one side of a person. Mrs. Wen, do you know how many people died in building the canal? How many people died in building the Great Wall? And he insisted on taking the big fight.
Gu, how many people have died? He didn't care about the suffering of the people, he was so happy about his achievements, he killed the loyal and good indiscriminately, appointed the young and the young, and was willful and self-willed, which led to the changes he has today. From this point of view, Yang Guang is not a truly wise king. But no matter
After all, Yang Guang has become a thing of the past, and we living people still need to continue to look forward! The top priority is to calm down the turmoil in the world as soon as possible and return a peaceful and peaceful world to the people."
There is another sentence that Liu Ziqiu didn't say. In order to be better than himself, Yang Guang broke up so many loving couples and made the world more resentful. Fan Lihua and Xue Ye'er, who were standing in front of him, were both victims.
He couldn't bear to stab other people's wounds.
Fan Lihua has a deep sense of loyalty to the emperor. Although she is married to Wen Hao and the couple is harmonious and loving, there is always the shadow of Yang Guang deep in her heart. It was only now that she heard Liu Ziqiu's words that she felt like she had been given a slap in the face.
Everyone stayed there, speechless for a long time.
While Liu Ziqiu and Fan Lihua were talking, Xue Yeer quietly looked at him for a long time and suddenly asked: "Sister Shi, oh, no, we should call her Sister Xiu'er. Is Sister Xiu'er okay?"
Liu Ziqiu's eyes suddenly became gentle, with a hint of longing: "If it hadn't been for the Western Expedition, the two of us, a man farming and a woman weaving, would have lived such a happy life."
Xue Ye'er sighed quietly, with a sad expression. Fan Yu'er was born in a military family, and she was loyal and loyal to her emperor and father. But Xue Ye'er was different. She just came from an ordinary civilian family and had no special feelings for the emperor. She just wanted to find someone to rely on for life. When she first entered Xiyuan,
She also tried every means to get close to Yang Guang, because she had no choice. This was the same as most of the women who were elected to Xiyuan. Although Yang Guang treated her like Fan Yu'er, he rewarded her generously. But Fan Yu'er's home is in Luoyang
In the suburbs, these rewards can be sent home to supplement the family's income, but her home is thousands of miles away in Hebei, so the rewards are completely useless to her.
In order to compete for favor, the women in Xiyuan inevitably scheming and fighting, and it is difficult to truly have a heart-to-heart relationship. In the past year, Xue Ye'er has only made two friends, one is Gao Xiu'er and the other is Fan Yu'er. Relatively speaking, her relationship with Gao Xiu'er is deeper. Nowadays,
Fan Yu'er is already married, and Wen Hao is not only a brave young man, but also very obedient to her. She originally thought that Gao Xiu'er was dead, and she mourned for a while. She always felt that she was better than Gao Xiu'er if she could survive. Only now
We know that Gao Xiuer is also a loving couple, but she is the only one.
Suddenly, Fan Lihua fell to her knees with a plop, bowed her head to Liu Ziqiu, and said loudly: "My lord! This little girl has been disrespectful to my lord in the past, please forgive me!"
Liu Ziqiu hurriedly waved his hands and said: "I can't do it, I can't do it. Madam Wen, please get up quickly. Don't keep the Queen waiting for a long time."
How to make Fan Lihua truly return to her heart has always been a difficult problem for Liu Ziqiu. Although Fan Lihua is just a female, she is a rare general with strong martial arts and proficient in the art of war. Liu Ziqiu comes from a later generation and does not have the idea that men are superior to women.
, let alone the idea that women are not allowed to enter the military camp, he intends to let Fan Lihua take charge of her own business. But as long as Fan Lihua does not truly return to her heart for a day, she will always be a time bomb, and Liu Ziqiu will not dare to let go of her. What's more, in Fan Lihua
Behind her, there is Wen Hao, who obeys her words and is also a tiger general that Liu Ziqiu has painstakingly cultivated.
It is said that if you plant flowers with intention, they will not live, but if you plant willows without intention, they will become shade. Liu Ziqiu just sighed casually, which actually made Fan Lihua's heart open. However, his evaluation of Yang Guang was Liu Ziqiu's heartfelt words. At least in his opinion, Yang
Guang was much more diligent than many inactive emperors in history.
Fan Lihua bowed to Liu Ziqiu twice more, then stood up and said, "My lord, please!"
Liu Ziqiu did not go in directly, but stood in front of the building and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Sui Xi Navy Brigade Commander Liu Ziqiu wants to see you!"
His shouts mobilized all his internal energy, and his voice was loud and clear, reaching into the sky. After hearing this, Xue Yeer calmed down and realized that what Fan Lihua said was true. With his own skills, he could not stand up to the maids and eunuchs in the Longxi Palace.
There is really no need to carry a weapon.
After a while, a pretty little palace maid came out of the building and said slowly: "My Majesty has a decree to announce that General Liu will be here!"
Liu Ziqiu nodded and walked towards the building. Fan Lihua and Xue Yeer followed closely, but they were stopped by the little palace maid, who said, "Sisters, please stay. The empress has decreed that only General Liu will be present."
Unknowingly, Fan Lihua's mentality has changed. She has changed from the personal bodyguard of Yang Guang and Queen Xiao to the general of Liu Ziqiu. Her thoughts are on protecting Liu Ziqiu's safety, and she does not want Liu Ziqiu to become the second in command.
Personal culture and culture. When she heard that Empress Xiao only allowed Liu Ziqiu to enter, Fan Lihua subconsciously pressed her hand on the hilt of her sword. Xue Yeer hurriedly pulled Fan Lihua's skirt and shook her head gently. Fan Lihua finally woke up.
, with Liu Ziqiu's martial arts, what danger can there be in the building. Besides, if Liu Ziqiu really touches Empress Xiao's mind, there is nothing she can do.
Although it was only a small-scale palace, the decoration inside the building was still magnificent. Liu Ziqiu shook his head secretly. If all this money was used to develop people's livelihood and develop armaments, the Sui Dynasty would be many times stronger. Yang Guang would be in trouble today.
But it’s not unfair either.
The little palace maid led Liu Ziqiu to a door and gently lifted the curtain: "General Liu, please!"
The door curtain was actually made of colorful pearls. Liu Ziqiu was secretly stunned and had already made a calculation in his mind. After he unified the world in the future, he would auction off all the palaces built by Yang Guang in various places. The money would probably be enough to maintain the operation of the imperial court for several years.
.
The house was extremely luxurious, with all kinds of treasures and treasures everywhere. On a low couch in the middle, half covered by a brocade curtain, a graceful figure sat in it. Liu Ziqiu knew that the person on the low couch was Empress Xiao, so she quickly bowed and saluted.
Said: "I, Liu Ziqiu, pay my respects to the Queen. She is a thousand years old."
A clear and sweet voice came from inside the brocade curtain: "Ai Qing, please come close and speak."
Queen Xiao was already a woman in her forties, but her voice was as charming as that of a 28-year-old girl, which surprised Liu Ziqiu. If he didn't believe that Fan Lihua wouldn't lie, he would have even suspected that another woman was pretending to be a queen. However, Liu Ziqiu was not afraid of any queen.
, stood up straight and strode over.
Suddenly, there was a sound of "chi", and the brocade curtain actually parted to both sides. Liu Ziqiu knew clearly that there must be some mechanism installed on this low couch. As the brocade curtain slowly separated to both sides, a beautiful woman slowly appeared in front of Liu Ziqiu.
In front of him, the woman was wearing Yanju's regular clothes. Through the thin gauze, her mature and concave body was vaguely visible. The neckline of the regular clothes was cut very low, revealing a touch of snow-white on her chest.
Liu Ziqiu didn't expect that Empress Xiao would dress so casually, and couldn't help but feel nervous. But he refused to show timidity in front of Empress Xiao, and raised his head and looked directly at her.
There is a legend in history about Empress Xiao. After Yang Guang's death, she first became the concubine of Yu Wenhuaji. After Yu Wenhuaji was defeated, she was acquired by Dou Jiande and became Dou Jiande's concubine. Later, Dou Jiande was forced to fight against the Turks
Under the pressure of Luo Khan, Queen Xiao was sent to the Turks and became the woman of Chuluo Khan. After Chuluo Khan died, according to Hu customs, Queen Xiao married Jili Khan. Later, Li Shimin took over the world.
After the Turks were defeated, Empress Xiao was taken back to the Central Plains as a trophy, and was actually brought into the palace by Li Shimin. A woman married six emperors, so that Empress Xiao won the title of Six Emperors Peach Blossom.
Liu Ziqiu still couldn't believe this legend. Especially the part where Empress Xiao was finally admitted to the palace by Li Shimin was even more doubtful. At that time, Li Shimin was only in his early thirties, while Empress Xiao was already over fifty. Imagine a wealthy world
How can a person be interested in an old woman who has been involved with many men?
