The King of Qin returned to Chang'an with the intention of destroying the country.
Everyone knows that the Tang Dynasty will usher in a new emperor.
The emperor of Shu is still said to be lonely and few, which means that for a period of time, two emperors will coexist in the Tang Dynasty until one is killed by the other.
"There are only two days in the sky!"
Early in the morning, Guo Xiu took her daughter to the outside of Lin's Dessert Shop, where the shopkeeper Lin Huo was discussing the current situation with a customer.
"No." Lin Huo saw Guo Xiu and the child, smiled at Wang Qin, and said: "It is said by our ancestors that many years ago, there were several days in the sky, and there was a hero with a bow who killed the superfluous ones, leaving only one day. Look!
Over there...he can't get any favors!"
The guest laughed and said: "The grasshoppers over there are struggling to survive, and they can't hop around for a few days after autumn."
The two handed over the money. The customer was a regular customer, so he was happy to see Wang Qin: "Your daughter?"
"Yes!" Guo Xiu said with a smile, "Qin'er calls people."
Wang Qin said softly: "I have met Mr. Lang."
"Good girl!" The guest smiled and touched the top of her head, wanting to give her a piece of the snack he just bought, but Guo Xiu declined.
Guo Xiu immediately became busy, and the child was playing behind the counter. It was said to be playing, but in fact he was just sitting in a daze.
There were a lot of fallen leaves on the street. Chang'an and Wannian counties mobilized many people to sweep the floors, which was very lively.
"They are all for His Highness to see!" the waiter next door said disdainfully.
"Your Highness..." Wang Qin put her chin in her hands, "Aniang, is Your Highness the one who looked so impressive on horseback that day?"
Guo Xiu was kneading dough, "Yes, that's that person. When His Highness comes out of the palace again, I will take you to see him again."
"What's so good about that?" Another waiter, Deng Er, was making dim sum. There were only two helpers in the store, one Deng Er and the other Guo Xiu. Guo Xiu often helped Deng Er with work, but Deng Er was cunning and didn't say he was grateful!
Instead, I took the opportunity to be lazy.
Lin Huo also dealt with Deng Er, but the wages he paid were not high. If Deng Er stopped working, it would be difficult to find skilled workers with that little wage. If he was a novice, he would have to learn the craft, so he tolerated Deng Er.
"I can't say I can get some luck!" Guo Xiu said longingly: "Not too much, as long as Qin'er can find a solid husband who can support her in the future, I will be satisfied."
"It will be just in time when my son grows up!" Deng Er said with a smile.
"dream!"
Deng Er was cunning and lazy, and Guo Xiu felt that his son was not a good person either.
"Hey! Hey!" Deng Er pointed his chin outward, "Someone has seduced my daughter-in-law!"
Guo Xiu turned his head and saw an eight or nine-year-old child standing outside the counter. He frowned and said to his daughter: "Don't look outside so stupidly. Come out."
"Why?" Wang Qin said softly: "My mother-in-law said there was a kidnapper outside. Last time... it was you!"
"You just found out?" The child said dissatisfied: "I don't have any eyesight, I'm just stupid."
"Nonsense." Wang Qin said dissatisfied: "My mother-in-law said that my daughter's house cannot be exposed to the sun, or it will get dark."
"Who said that? I'm not asking you to bask in the sun all day long. You can bask in the sun for a quarter of an hour or half an hour every day to ensure good health."
"What are these words?"
"This is the truth. Why do those old farmers have poor food and poor housing, but are in good health? It's because they work and bask in the sun."
"real?"
"If you don't believe me, come out and try."
"Oh! But you can't coax me!"
"I won't coax you."
The two children stood outside, looking up at the autumn sun with squinted eyes.
"Are you comfortable?"
"Well... comfortable!"
"Don't sit there all the time. You'll be stupid. How nice is it outside?"
"Yeah! By the way, grandma has talked about you several times and said she wanted to thank you!"
Wang Qin looked at the boy, "By the way, your name is Yang Qi?"
A Liang nodded, "Yeah! What's your name?"
"My name is Wang Qin, and my mother-in-law calls me Qin'er."
"Qin'er?" A Liang burst into laughter, "It's like a piano."
"You bully people!" Wang Qin said dissatisfied, "How can you make fun of other people's names?"
A Liang coaxed her for a few times, then cupped his hands with a frown on his face, "I was wrong, so I looked for something fun to apologize to you later."
"I don't want it." Wang Qin said seriously: "My mother-in-law said you can't make fun of other people's names! It's like Deng Er. Someone called him Er fool, but my mother-in-law didn't allow me to call him."
"You're right."
Guo Xiu just came out at this moment and said with a smile: "Is the young man here? Come in quickly."
Ah Liang held up his hand and said, "I'm going out for a walk, but I won't go in."
Wang Qin pulled him and said, "Come in! The snacks made by grandma are delicious, I...I'll treat you to them."
As she spoke, she took out a small cloth bag with a puppy embroidered on it, took out a shiny copper coin that she rubbed, and carefully placed it on the counter, "Mom, I want to buy some snacks!"
The two children sat side by side behind the counter. Guo Xiu brought them snacks and gave each of them a cup of hot water.
So A Liang tasted the snacks served by others for the first time.
Outside, a plainclothes Qiu Long Guard glanced inside pretending to be casual, and said to his companion: "Da Langjun looks like a child at this moment."
"No. In Taoxian and in the palace, Da Langjun is like a little grown-up."
"Do you want to investigate here?"
"The people from Jinyiwei are already investigating."
Ah Liang then left.
"Next time you come, I'll treat you to snacks," Wang Qin vowed.
"Okay!" Ah Liang agreed, but remembering that he was going on a long trip recently, he said, "I have something going on at home recently, and I'm afraid I won't be able to make it."
"How long will it take?" Wang Qin asked.
She was a daughter, her father was lazy, and her two brothers were noisy, so Guo Xiu took her with him to educate her. She had no playmates on weekdays, so she was very lonely.
Ah Liang thought for a while, "At any rate, it will take more than half a month!"
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
"good!"
…
After lunch, King Qin, who was taking a walk, learned the news.
"That dim sum shop has been open for more than thirty years, and the shopkeeper has never changed. He comes from a merchant family, so there is no suspicion."
He Lianyan followed behind and reported: "That Deng Er loves to drink, but it is still his duty. If His Highness feels that something is wrong, I, the Jin Yiwei, will find a way to get him away."
"What are you doing?" King Qin was a little dissatisfied with Jin Yiwei's current style of taking people lightly, "Don't disturb the people."
"Yes!" He Lianyan was just testing, "The mother-in-law of that child is innocent. Wang Fu's family had officials earlier, and the former Chen's has since declined. The Guo family has always been responsible..."
King Qin stopped and He Lianyan asked for instructions: "Do you want to interfere?"
"What are you interfering with?" King Qin shook his head, "Although they are brothers, A Liang and Er Lang cannot play together. They are alone in the palace. Everyone in the palace and court regard him as the future prince. This is a burden for everyone.
Press it down, I'm tired. That child is just a playmate he's looking for, put it down, there's no need to worry about it anymore."
"yes!"
King Qin looked a little thoughtful, but in fact he was thinking of the days in Xiaohe Village.
Although life was more difficult before the age of ten, it was his happiest period.
Although his adoptive parents were a little fake to him, they were able to provide him with food and clothing. The children in the village were also willing to play with him. They would run around the village and run around in the fields. In summer, they would play in the river and touch crabs.
, if you are lucky enough to pick up duck eggs that the duck herder didn't find, you will be happy for a long time when you go home.
At that time, he was simply like a blank piece of paper.
If you look at those years with your current perspective, you will find that your life was so ignorant that it seemed like your life was in vain.
"Somehow, I miss the days in Xiaohe Village."
Even though he was not far from the throne, King Qin felt inexplicably that he seemed to like and miss those days even more.
When it came to offering sacrifices, the person in charge was naturally the Ministry of Rites, but the King of Qin also brought metaphysics into the matter, which greatly dissatisfied the officials in the Ministry of Rites, whose eyesight had deteriorated due to years of searching for information, so that they could only squint when looking at people.
The King of Qin invited Ning Yayun into the palace, and the two discussed the sacrifice. During the break, the King of Qin expressed his confusion about that period of time.
"It stands to reason! Once Gu ascends the throne, he will be the most noble person in the world, but why does Gu feel that the ten years in Xiaohe Village were the happiest ten years for Gu?"
"Everyone pursues happiness, but happiness can never be bought by money, fame and fortune." Ning Yayun and King Qin wandered outside.
"Look at Li Mi, is he happy from the first time he launched the palace coup to now? I don't think so. He has been living like a dog in these years, and he has been scheming with others..."
"But he enjoyed it." King Qin knew that feeling.
"You spend all day thinking about how to fight with others and how to seize power. Do you feel happy?"
King Qin shook his head.
"Look at those wealthy businessmen who only know how to make money all day long, leaving their wives, children, and children aside, fighting for every penny... They seem to be living a very solid life, right?"
"Almost like an emperor."
"Yes!" Ning Yayun smiled and said: "How a person is happy depends on what he wants. As for what a person should pursue, there is no fixed number. As long as he does not harm others and likes himself, that's fine."
King Qin nodded, "I understand."
"You have always understood, but when you are approaching that position, you are a little worried about gains and losses, and your mind is a little clouded."
King Qin turned his head and looked into the void, thinking with a frown.
"Yes some."
When King Qin figured this out, he suddenly felt relieved.
"The simpler the life, the more comfortable this person will be. However, now that we have reached this point, let's find some fun for ourselves."
"What fun?"
"Fight against heaven, fight against people."
A few days later, King Qin left Chang'an City and went to Gongling.
He brought his wife, children, his uncle's family, and some courtiers with him.
The King of Qin treated this journey as a picnic, taking breaks from time to time and playing around with his wife and children.
A courtier came to admonish, "Your Highness, you must be respectful on this journey."
"I'm respectful here." King Qin pointed to his heart, "It will be difficult to travel far away in such a tidy manner from now on."
Folks worship their ancestors, which is actually a picnic.
When I saw Gongling, the weather turned cold.
King Qin looked at the mausoleum from a distance, "Where is Aye?"
"Yes!" the mausoleum guard said willingly and respectfully.
A group of big birds suddenly flew over and hovered over King Qin's head.
Everyone was stunned.
"Bird!"
Li Laoer shouted happily.
King Qin raised his head and squinted at the birds.
In the distance, a man walked out of the forest and looked at King Qin and his party with tears in his eyes.
