Zhu Changxiao's version of the Sui Dynasty

On the road outside Yongnian City, the wheels of the car were rumbling, the horse team was long and narrow, and a team of thousands of people was particularly conspicuous, with people and horses echoing each other from a distance, and flags fluttering. This team of people and horses was the imperial team escorting Xiao Jun back to Yongnian.

Unlike when she left Yongnian, at this time Xiao Jun was canonized as the Imperial Noble Consort by Xia Lord Dou Jiande, and announced to the world, and spread all over the nine states, which can be said to be noble in front of people, and the Aoli was respected, with full pomp.

The gongs and umbrellas, the imperial curtains and brocade banners, it was like a dragon entering the East China Sea and a phoenix returning to the sky, attracting many people to come, line the road to watch, and look around to see the imperial concubine's grace. Everyone has heard that Xia Lord Dou Jiande married Empress Xiao of the Great Sui Dynasty, and she is a wonderful woman who is over fifty years old, but her charm and beauty are still there.

Passersby talked about Empress Xiao's turbulent life, and there were also many rumors. What the people of Xia Kingdom talked about most was that Xiao Jun could always win the favor of any king no matter which one she was in. At this time, she was already a queen of three dynasties. This is:

Traveling around Jizhou with heavy carriages and horses, traveling north to the south for several years in autumn.

The cool breeze is bitter and hard to get drunk, and the beautiful shadows of the apricot tent are sad.

Royal Concubine Xiao Jun stayed in the Peiwang Pavilion on the side of the Qinzheng Palace. Empress Cao never came to disturb her. Dou Jiande rewarded her well, and she lived a peaceful life for several months.

That day, Royal Concubine Xiao Jun was playing the piano in the Peiwang Pavilion, and saw a servant come to report: "Report to the Royal Concubine, Lord Qi Shanxing wants to see you for something."

"Please ask Lord Qi to come and see you." Xiao Jun said.

Qi Shanxing walked quickly to the Peiwang Pavilion, bowed and saluted, and Xiao Jun ordered someone to let him sit. After asking the maid to serve tea, Xiao Jun asked, "Thanks to Lord Qi's help, I was able to settle down today. What's the important matter?"

Qi Shanxing said, "I was asked by Lord Xiao Yu to help the queen, but I also offended my colleagues. The queen must help me."

Xiao Jun was stunned and asked hesitantly, "Who did you offend to make you so embarrassed?"

"Wang Fubao." Qi Shanxing said.

"Isn't Wang Fubao already a death row prisoner?" Xiao Jun asked.

"Alas..." Qi Shanxing pounded his hands and sighed, "Wang Fubao is in prison, but Empress Cao wants to pardon him. He is a warrior, brave and aggressive. Once he is released from prison, you and I will both suffer."

"So that's it."

Qi Shanxing leaned forward and said softly, "Your Majesty also knows Wang Fubao's hot temper. If Wang Fubao is really released from prison, not to mention that he will not spare me, I am afraid that before Princess Yicheng comes to pick you up, Wang Fubao will kill the concubine."

Xiao Jun took a breath and thought to himself, it is true. Wang Fubao hates the royal family of the Great Sui Dynasty so much, how can he spare me? He was worried for a while and was at a loss.

Qi Shanxing advised again: "Now we are stabilizing Queen Cao in order to help her reunite with her family as soon as possible. Now that Wang Fubao is released from prison, everything will be lost and all hope will be shattered."

Xiao Jun thought about it and felt that Xiao Yu had gone to great lengths to help him, and Qi Shanxing was manipulating the situation. Although he was favored by King Xia, the murderous intent in the Xia Palace had never been eliminated. He was very worried and asked:"Does Lord Qi have any good advice?"

Qi Shanxing said: "Why don't you give advice to the emperor and execute Wang Fubao."

Xiao Jun was shocked: "Wang Fubao was a loyal minister to the emperor. How could he harm innocent people for personal grudges?"

"Oh." Qi Shanxing was full of anxiety and persuaded: "If Wang Fubao dies, everything will be fine. First, it will stabilize Empress Cao, second, we can wait for the Turkic envoys with peace of mind, third, the emperor will have fewer worries, and fourth, I will have no worries. My queen, a thought difference , regret for a thousand years, can't leave Wang Fubao, the root of evil! . "

Looking at Qi Shanxing's red eyes, Xiao Jun was anxious, and had no choice but to say silently: "I have never wronged a good person in my life, but now I have to destroy a loyal soul of Xia country."

"Your Majesty, don't feel guilty. Wang Fubao is too extreme. He implicated your birth in February and the fall of the Sui Dynasty, so he refused to tolerate. With such a temperament, he will not die well. "Qi Shanxing looked at Xiao Jun's implicit consent, and then wiped off the sweat and put his heart at ease. This is:

Heroes are confused for a while, and women blow into the pillow wind.

Eliminate dissidents and seek reunion, just waiting for the grandparents and grandchildren to meet again.

When it was evening, Xia Lord Dou Jiande returned to the King's Pavilion to rest, and Xiao Jun served him by his pillow. The two were deeply affectionate and whispered to each other. Xiao Jun held Dou Jiande's neck with a jade bowl and whispered in his ear: "I have been with the emperor day and night, just like a love story, but I only sigh that the spring night is too short."

Dou Jiande said with joy: "The love between you and me is long and there is no need to lament."

Xiao Jun smiled bitterly and said: "If it weren't for your majesty's protection, I would have been killed by Wang Fubao's sword. Now I heard that the queen wants to release Wang Fubao. Isn't it like letting a tiger go back to the mountain and killing me?"

"Oh?" Dou Jiande asked: "Is it true? My beloved concubine, don't be afraid. With me here, Wang Fubao dare not be presumptuous!"

"Was Wang Fubao presumptuous when he wanted to kill me in the palace of Wuqiang County?" Xiao Jun asked.

"This is..."

Dou Jiande didn't know how to persuade him for a moment, and Xiao Jun took the opportunity to say: "If Wang Fubao kills me, he will offend your majesty sooner or later. Gao Jibo's evil nature has not changed, and he will be unscrupulous in the future. I wish I could take poison and die, and I don't want to be an innocent ghost under Wang Fubao's knife."

"What nonsense are you talking about, my beloved concubine." Dou Jiande hugged Xiao Jun and comforted her: "If that's the case, why should I pity a thug? I will issue an order to execute this guy tomorrow morning."

"Your majesty is really wise and decisive." Xiao Jun dived into Dou Jiande's arms and showed off her charm, which made Dou Jiande pity Xiao Jun even more and hate Wang Fubao.

When it was dawn the next day, Qi Shanxing got the imperial concubine's oral order and hurried to the accompanying prince's pavilion, just in time to see Xiao Jun sitting alone in the room. After the ceremony, Xiao Jun said, "The emperor drafted an edict this morning to execute Wang Fubao."

Qi Shanxing's eyes flashed, and he bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, you are wise. If you execute the thief, you will be invincible."

Xiao Jun said, "Wang Fubao is not a thief. I killed a loyal minister in vain."

Although Wang Fubao was an alien to Xiao Jun, XiaoJun still regarded Wang Fubao as a loyal minister under Dou Jiande, at least his personality charm was stronger than Qi Shanxing.

Qi Shanxing saw that Xiao Jun was unwilling and did not dare to say much. It was already very difficult to kill the dissident. Xiao Jun picked up a piece of imperial edict on the table and went to the death row. Qi Shanxing hurriedly followed and accompanied him.

The death row was gloomy and damp, and it was a secluded iron prison where the great general Wang Fubao was imprisoned. Perhaps it was because he had not seen him for a long time. When Xiao Jun and Qi Shanxing came here, Wang Fubao's hair was disheveled, his hands and feet were chained and handcuffed, and he sat in a corner. Like a tiger in a trap and a wild goose lost its flock, like a dying person, he did not even look at it, and had been numb for a long time.

Qi Shanxing took a step forward and shouted across the iron prison: "Wang Fubao! Why don't you come and see the Imperial Concubine!"

Wang Fubao looked up for a moment and said coldly: "Since the king claims to be the emperor, how can he appoint this evil woman who lost her country and family as the Imperial Concubine?"

"How dare you!" Qi Shanxing said: "As a minister, you have no respect for discipline, are tyrannical and capricious, and deceive the emperor. Now, I am ordered by the emperor to allow you to commit suicide."

"Hahahahahaha!" Wang Fubao laughed at the sky, forced himself to stand up, dragged his shackles and moved two steps, and asked Qi Shanxing: "I am innocent, why did the king listen to slander and cut off his left and right arms?"

Qi Shanxing winked at the guards who accompanied him, and a guard next to him brought a tray with a white silk and a pot of poisoned wine on it and put it in the prison. Wang Fubao looked at her and said to Xiao Jun, "I only regret that I can't kill you, this witch, and you have ruined my life!"

Xiao Jun looked at Wang Fubao's fierce eyes, feeling guilty and not daring to look him in the face, but it was hard for him to feel pity at this time, so he just said silently, "General Wang, thousands of years later, everyone in the world will know that you died unjustly. If you want to kill me, don't blame me for using a knife to kill someone. Who hasn't done something against their conscience in this life, not to mention today, it's a life-and-death struggle, I will send you here."

After saying that, Xiao Jun waved his hand, unwilling to face Wang Fubao again, and turned away with several guards. Wang Fubao laughed sinisterly, his eyes were fierce, he picked up the poisoned wine, glared at Qi Shanxing and drank it all. Qi Shanxing used Xiao Jun to eliminate dissidents, and the stone in his heart finally fell.

Wang Fubao committed suicide, and those soldiers who rebelled with Gao Jibo no longer dared to disrespect Xiao Jun. Qi Shanxing, under Xiao Jun's support, assisted Dou Jiande in handling the affairs of the Xia Kingdom. This is:

Since ancient times, there have been many casualties in the imperial court, and people have fought openly and secretly and killed each other.

It is hard to say who is good and who is bad, the dead are thieves and the winners are kings.

On this day, Qi Shanxing came to the Qinzheng Hall of Wanchun Palace according to the imperial order and paid homage to Emperor Xia. Dou Jiande picked up a letter and said, "Today, the Turkic Khan Chuluo from the north sent me a letter."

"Is it possible that the Turkic people are preparing to rise up and invade Daxia?"

"No." Dou Jiande said, "It's not about fighting or starting a war."

Qi Shanxing thought, could it be that Princess Yicheng learned about the news of the Sui royal family and sent a letter to ask for someone, and asked softly, "Daxia and the Turkic people have no feud, so is the letter asking for tribute at this time?"

"Alas." Dou Jiande shook his head, "It's Princess Yicheng.The princess misses her relatives and wants to take Concubine Xiao back to live in the northern frontier."

"Oh... I don't know what the emperor means?" Qi Shanxing asked.

Dou Jiande said: "I was just about to ask you, should Concubine Xiao be sent away or not?"

Qi Shanxing then let go of his courage and advised: "I think it is best for the imperial concubine to leave."

"Why?"

"Your Majesty, think about it, now the Central Plains is divided into five parts, Shanxi Liu Wuzhou, Guanzhong Li Yuan, and Dongdu Wang Shichong are all in the north with your majesty. The Turks have 300,000 cavalry and are eyeing the Central Plains. If your majesty turns against the Turks because of a middle-aged woman, it will be more than worth the loss. ”

Dou Jiande was unwilling to accept it and said, "I have just established the country and it is still in its infancy. Women have always been reluctant to send me books and gifts. This Imperial Concubine Xiao has only been with me for a few months. The Turks want to send her off with just one word. Where is my dignity? . ”

"Your Majesty..." Qi Shanxing advised again, "Youth is not always there, and beauty is always temporary. If using the Imperial Concubine can bring peace for a year or two and relieve your worries, Your Majesty can go south to fight for the world with the princes. For the sake of the Great Xia, why not?"

Dou Jiande sighed, closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time. He felt that Qi Shanxing's words made sense, so he said, "First meet the Turkic envoy, and then discuss whether Imperial Concubine Xiao should stay. ”

After hearing this, Qi Shanxing thought that Dou Jiande had tacitly agreed, and this matter would surely succeed. He was extremely happy in his heart, because as long as Xiao Jun went to the Turks, not only would Dou Jiande trust him, but he would also be able to live up to Xiao Yu, and Xiao Jun would be able to meet Princess Yicheng, and Empress Cao would no longer have to be jealous of others. He also killed Wang Fubao with a borrowed knife, killing many birds with one stone.

Qi Shanxing was complacent, thinking that he had played everyone in the world. This led to:

Devote all your efforts to your relatives and leave your homeland, and let the world pacify and chase their deer.

The vast northern frontier is full of wind, and you will not be alone in this life.
