Jiuhua

Chapter 1

In the autumn of the 22nd year of Shunkang.

Zhao Hua died, and he ran to Mu's house every day to discuss with Mu Mingxi whether it was time for him to marry into Mu's house.

Mu Mingxi always stared at him thoughtfully, and then said, no hurry.

Zhao Hua suspected that Mu Mingxi had changed his mind, so he rushed forward and pinned him on the bed, yelling aggressively to bite him.Mu Mingxi spoiled and helplessly let him throw herself down, and then let him gnaw on her face.

Mu Mingxi knew that Zhao Hua was actually a man, and he didn't know why Emperor Shunkang announced that Zhao Hua was a princess.Probably because Zhao Hua's mother and concubine are men, and men's childbirth is against the sky. If Zhao Hua is a princess, then he will not have the right to compete for the throne, and will not attract many criticisms and attacks with ulterior motives.

Mu Mingxi didn't care whether Zhao Hua was a man or a woman, he only liked Zhao Hua.

However, the Mu family was imprisoned for no reason because of Zhao Hua's fatuous father, and Mu Mingxi's father died for no reason in the battle against Sui.For six years, Mu Mingxi investigated secretly and found that his father's death was inextricably related to Shunkang Emperor Zhao Qi.

The hatred of killing his father is irreconcilable. In the past few years, he has been secretly cultivating power, and has been planning the so-called treasonous conspiracy.

However, Zhao Qi is Zhao Hua's father after all.

Mu Mingxi was very afraid that after killing Zhao Qi, Zhao Hua would hate him, just like he hated Zhao Qi.

When Mu Mingxi was full of thoughts, Zhao Hua stretched out his hand and pulled his button: "Mingxi, I am eighteen, how can I not be in a hurry, other princesses will choose a son-in-law when they are fifteen or sixteen."

Mu Mingxi grabbed Zhao Hua's bad hand: "You are not a princess, so you don't have to worry like them."

Zhao Hua snorted, withdrew his hand, and sat up: "So you think I'm a man, so you don't want to marry me at all!"

Mu Mingxi had no choice but to sit up and pull Zhao Hua into her arms: "Don't you know how much I want to marry you?"

Zhao Hua was very satisfied with the answer in his heart, but he still said with a straight face: "Then you always say there is no rush."

Mu Mingxi was speechless and could only use her mouth to appease the angry person until Zhao Hua forgot about the topic.

But obviously this trick doesn't always work. After the long and lingering kiss, Zhao Hua had to return to the topic of marrying or not. Mu Mingxi couldn't help it, so she rolled over and put Zhao Hua under her body.

Looking at Mu Mingxi's deep eyes, Zhao Hua's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he grasped the bed sheet under him in a daze.

Zhao Hua's tense movements and the longing in his eyes filled Mu Mingxi's heart with pity.He knew that his push and push made Zhao Hua very uneasy, and this uneasiness made him very eager to have a special relationship with himself to prove his special place in his heart.

Zhao Hua is eighteen and Mu Mingxi is already 22, but the two of them have never tasted the forbidden fruit.Although Zhao Hua is not a woman, Mu Mingxi still hopes to have that kind of relationship with him after marrying him legitimately, otherwise she always feels wronged.

But like now, let him be so uneasy, so good?

Mu Mingxi stretched out her hand, and slowly unbuttoned Zhao Hua's skirt, one by one, earnestly and decisively.

Zhao Hua, no matter what happens in the future, you are mine, even if you hate me, you are mine, forever.

##

The winter of the 22nd year of Shunkang.

Zhao Hua found that something was wrong with him recently. He ate too much, lethargy, and always wanted to vomit.

Zhao Hua told his mother Concubine Li about this situation, and Concubine Li turned pale when she heard that, and asked him if he did that with Mu Mingxi.

Zhao Hua blushed, and asked Concubine Mu how you knew.

Concubine Li sighed, how could someone who came here not know.

Then, Concubine Li told Zhao Hua why Emperor Shun Kang announced that Zhao Hua was a princess.

Concubine Li was originally the prince of a mysterious small country on the mainland of Liao and Zhou. He took a boat to visit the mainland of Yingu, where he met Emperor Shunkang. After some entanglement, Concubine Li entered the palace.

There are no women in Li Fei's country, and the matter of bearing children is also undertaken by men.Those who can conceive will have a red mole between the eyebrows, otherwise it will be a blue mole or black mole.

When Zhao Hua was born, Concubine Li saw the red mole between his eyebrows and knew that he was destined to fall in love with a man in the future. He also knew that it was not common for men to marry in Zhao Wei, and Zhao Hua was born in the royal family.As a prince, it is impossible for him to marry the person he wants to marry.So he begged Emperor Shunkang to declare that Zhao Hua was the princess.

This is how Princess Jiuhua came into existence.

Zhao Hua was stunned and blinked his big eyes for a long time, unable to recover.He stretched out his hand to touch his stomach blankly, feeling a little weird, but when he thought of having Mu Mingxi's child, he was overjoyed.Busyly let Concubine Li go to court Emperor Kang and ask him to marry him.

Concubine Li told Emperor Shunkang about the matter, and Emperor Shunkang hesitated for a while before agreeing.The wedding date was set on the sixth day of the first lunar month after the new year, only eight days away from now.

Zhao Hua really wanted to tell Mu Mingxi the good news of her pregnancy as soon as possible, although it might scare him.

But according to regulations, the bride and groom are not allowed to meet each other half a month before the marriage.Zhao Hua thought it would be good to tell him during the bridal chamber, anyway, he must tell Mu Mingxi himself, he wants to see Mu Mingxi's surprised and surprised expression.

Just thinking about Zhao Hua makes me feel extremely happy.

##

When Mu Mingxi received the imperial decree of marriage, she was really stunned for a long time.He knew that Zhao Hua really wanted to marry, but he also knew that Zhao Hua would never force him, as long as he did not agree, Zhao Hua would never let his father issue an imperial decree to suppress him.

What happened?

Could it be that his secret plot to rebel came to light?

should not.If Zhao Qi knew that he was going to rebel, he would definitely not marry Zhao Hua to him.

Chu Sandi, the number one counselor under Mu Mingxi, also had this doubt.Chu Sandi advocated that no matter what Zhao Qi's idea is, it is better to kill the king and usurp the throne while entering the palace to pick up Princess Jiuhua.

Anyway, the soldiers and horses in the capital are basically in the hands of their own people, and many people have been recruited and placed in the court.In addition, Zhao Qi was fatuous and incompetent, which made Zhao Weimin's life difficult, and there were many people in Wuzhou who wanted to oppose him.At that time, it will be made public that General Mu Liao Kemu was killed by someone sent by Zhao Qi, then the public opinion will be on their side.Finally, add a yellow robe to her body, and Mu Mingxi can justifiably proclaim herself emperor.

What Chu Sandi said was indeed reasonable, but Mu Mingxi didn't want to use his Zhao Hua.

Killing Zhao Hua's father was already a last resort. If he used his marriage with Zhao Hua again, he couldn't imagine whether Zhao Hua would still be able to forgive him.

Seeing Mu Mingxi's hesitation, Chu Sandi continued to persuade: "General, Zhao Qi suddenly pointed out marriage, we don't know what kind of conspiracy he has, but if we don't act first, I'm afraid we will fail and die at the hands of that stupid king Ah. Even if the general doesn’t think about himself, he should also think about the many soldiers who support you.”

Mu Mingxi finally nodded, but he asked to split up and let a group of people quickly take Zhao Hua back to the General's Mansion for protection, and he led people directly into the Hall of Zhaohe to kill Zhao Qi.

Chu Sandi knew Mu Mingxi's affection for Zhao Hua, although he felt that it would be inappropriate to leave future troubles, but he didn't say anything after all, and there was no rush to get rid of Zhao Hua.

##

On the sixth day of the first lunar month in the 23rd year of Shunkang, General Zhen Guo married Princess Jiuhua.

Although the people of Zhao and Wei have been living in the heat of the water in recent years, General Zhen Guo has won the hearts of the people in the past six years of fighting in the west and north, defending his family and defending the country.He got married, and the whole country still mustered up their spirits and prepared to celebrate.

Zhao Hua was tidied up and dressed up by the palace servants early on, and sat anxiously and joyfully waiting for Mu Mingxi to pick him up.

Unexpectedly, it was not Mu Mingxi who was waiting, but one of his lieutenants, Li Yuanqing.

"Where's Mu Mingxi?" Zhao Hua felt uneasy.

Li Yuanqing's name sounds pretty, but he is a rough and tough man.He clasped his fists and said to Zhao Hua: "The general has important matters to attend to, the princess please leave the palace at the end of the day."

Zhao Hua became more and more uneasy.important matter?Something more important than coming to pick him up?

Seeing Li Yuanqing's tough attitude, Zhao Hua knew that something serious must have happened.He thought that although his martial arts were not bad, he would definitely not be able to defeat the strong man in front of him, so he said: "My concubine is still with my father, I want to go to Zhaohe Hall to say goodbye to my father, mother and concubine."

Li Yuanqing refused, and said: "The general asked me to bring the princess to the general's mansion as soon as possible."

Zhao Hua became angry: "Presumptuous! How can this princess want to ask you, a little lieutenant general?!"

Li Yuanqing stopped talking to Zhao Hua, and winked at the two subordinates who brought in, and the two came up to pull people.

Zhao Hua saw that there were little court ladies around him, and they couldn't help, so he quickly took off the messy headdresses on his head, took off the obstructive dress coat, and started fighting with Li Yuanqing and the three of them.

Zhao Hua knew that he would not be able to beat him, so he occupied and retreated, and headed towards the Hall of Zhaohe.

Li Yuanqing accepted Mu Mingxi's death order, and must bring the princess back to the general's mansion as soon as possible, and he must not be allowed to stay in the palace for a long time, especially not allowed to go to the Hall of Zhaohe.

So he called the people who were waiting outside and prepared to escort them, and they went into battle together, determined to restrain Zhao Hua quickly.

The so-called two fists are hard to beat four hands, in the siege of nearly ten people, Zhao Hua was obviously in a weak position.During the fierce fight, Zhao Hua suddenly felt a pain in his stomach, and Zhao Hua was shocked.Pregnancy less than three months, fetal gas instability, is the most prone to problems.

Because he was worried about the fetus, Zhao Hua had no choice but to arrest him without a fight.

Li Yuanqing "invited" Zhao Hua into the sedan chair, and the group quickly left the palace and returned to the general's mansion.

##

At this time, everything went well with Mu Mingxi.

The incident happened so suddenly that Zhao Qi had no time to react, and Mu Mingxi put a knife on his neck.

Besides, the Zhao family has been tossed by Zhao Qi for more than [-] years, and there are no loyal people in the palace who really support Zhao Qi.Seeing Mu Mingxi's posture of holding a heavy army, several powerful flatterers shrunk their necks to protect themselves wisely.

Mu Mingxi took down the palace easily.

Chu Sandi suggested cutting the weeds and eradicating the roots forever.After a little hesitation, Mu Mingxi agreed.

So the members of Zhao Wei's royal family were slaughtered.

Mu Mingxi wanted to keep Concubine Li, but Concubine Li left behind a sentence of "Treat Hua'er well" and followed Zhao Qi.

Mu Mingxi looked at Concubine Li's body lying beside Zhao Qi in a somewhat bewildered manner, her heart turned a thousand times, but in the end she had to suppress all the chaotic emotions, after all, there were more important things waiting for him do it.

Then follow the plan in advance and implement them one by one, and everything went as smoothly as possible.

Mu Mingxi proclaimed himself emperor, changed the name of the country to Zhou, and changed the 23rd year of Shunkang to the first year of Dingxi.

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Mu Mingxi had too many things to do, and he hadn't figured out how to face Zhao Hua and how to ask for his forgiveness, so he asked Zhao Hua to stay in the General's Mansion and let people take good care of him. , lived in the palace by himself, and began to clean up the mess left by Zhao Qi.

As Chu Sandi expected, the people accepted Mu Mingxi's behavior very highly, and many people even regarded the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty as the beginning of a new life.

Naturally, Mu Mingxi could not live up to the high expectations of the people.

In Chaozhong Prefecture, corrupt officials and treacherous officials ransacked their homes and imprisoned them one after another. In order to fill the vacancies, Mu Mingxi decided to distribute his advisers to various states and select talents by himself. Go to Beijing for a face-to-face interview, and those who pass the test will be hired exceptionally.

This method requires extremely high character and loyalty from the advisers under him, and the people under Mu Mingxi were all personally selected by him when he was fighting around, and Mu Mingxi trusted them quite a lot.

In order to recuperate and recuperate, it is necessary to implement light corvees and light taxes, but the two major border defense problems in Beisui and Xiliang have to be guarded against.

Mu Mingxi used all the silver obtained from stealing the houses of corrupt officials for border defense and war preparations, and at the same time greatly reduced the expenditure in the palace, so that all the palace people who have a home can go home, and those who have no home can leave if they want to leave .

It has been three months since everything was basically straightened out.Mu Mingxi was now free to think about how to meet Zhao Hua.

Chu Sandi had reported to Mu Mingxi before, saying that he didn't know who had slipped his mouth. Zhao Hua already knew the news of Zhao Qi and Concubine Li's death, so he lost his temper in the general's mansion. The guards of the government stopped him.

Is Zhao Hua very angry?It's okay, it's okay to be angry, Mu Mingxi is most afraid that Zhao Hua won't be angry, she just silently feels sad, or doesn't want to talk to him anymore.

Zhao Hua will still be angry, so there will always be a day when he will be forgiven.
