The Path Toward Heaven

Following Jing Jiu's suggestion, Jade Bird walked through the world to find those who might see the sky, until she finally went to the Zhao State Palace.

She doesn't like to go to the palace of Zhao Guo, because this palace is always full of medicine and dark flavor, which is completely different from Zhao Guo's image on the mainland.

And she didn't like the eunuch very much.

The blue bird fell on the eaves corner and looked like an eaves beast in the twilight.

He Zhan glanced at it without any trace, then withdrew his eyes and continued to look at the imperial guilt of the emperor Chu.

His eyebrows are very thin, his face pale, and the longer his eyes stay on the edict, the longer his fine eyebrows will be raised, and his expression will be more obscure.

After staying in the illusion for too long, he has forgotten many things, and there are many things that cannot be forgotten, such as the pain in childhood, the occasional and annoying blue bird, and the identity of some people-he knows Chu The emperor is the same person as himself, and he knows better that the King Shizi should be his friend, but it may be because of the word friend that he has never been in direct contact with Cangzhou.

The death of King Shizi does not make him feel sad, but the guilt of this crime makes him feel aggrieved and angry for Chu Huang, and feels so bored.

It's a bland thing to be alive.

He Zhan left Yushufang, came to a palace, and took the medicine handed over by the court lady.

The medicine was dispensed by himself. The pharmacy is under the strictest supervision and no one can poison it.Feeling the temperature coming from the bottom of the bowl, he nodded in satisfaction, pushed open the door of the hall, and walked in. He said to the young man in the bright yellow shirt after the book case: "Your Majesty, it is time to take medicine."

Emperor Zhao Guo looked at him and smiled, then began to cough, a bit painful.

His face was very pale, standing with He Zhan like fellow brothers, but He Zhan's paleness was derived from the rare sunlight, and his paleness was due to illness.

Zhao Huang took the medicine bowl and drank it. He Zong took the gourd sugar taken out of the box and contained it in his mouth. His face and spirit were better.

He Zhan advised: "There is no need to persecute yourself so urgently, you may wish to rest more."

Emperor Zhao walked to the wall and pulled the curtain away, pointing at the mainland map and saying, "There are so many places waiting for us. How can we not worry?"

His father will surely become one of the most famous faint monarchs in history, and in contrast, he will surely become one of the most famous Ming juniors in history.Under his rule, Zhao Guo showed a prosperous posture, the edge of which was gradually revealed, and all the dark sides came back to He Gonggong, so his image was extremely bright and quite popular.

He Zhan thought of the previous crime, and said indifferently: "At least there is no need to worry about Chu."

Emperor Zhao said: "Jing Wang has insufficient courage and fears Mr. Shaoyue's ability. He must not dare to rebel against the soldiers and will only take Cangzhou to invest in a new home."

He Zhan said: "I haven't had much contact with Cangzhou in recent years and it's hard to fight for, but even if he wants to vote for Xianyang, I will find ways to cut more meat."

"This is probably the general plan. You can do it with the military department, but ..."

Emperor Zhao glanced at him and said, "You don't need to act too cruelly like in previous years. It's no good to make your reputation so bad."

He Zhan calmly said: "I like to make people afraid, so it is convenient to do things."

Emperor Zhao shook his head and pointed to another place on the map, saying: "The water canal in Wei County is about to be repaired, and you will leave it to others to build the high dam."

He Zhan looked at that place, and his thoughts returned to many years ago.

At that time, he was still the eunuch in the Pingfei Palace, and His Majesty the Emperor was still the prince who would be killed sometime.

They talked about many things by the lake in the Royal Garden, such as how to get rid of the current situation, and if they succeed, what will they do.

The canal of Wei County was one of their topics at that time.

This canal is very important to Zhao Guo. Once it is repaired, it can irrigate thousands of acres of good land, and at the same time it will become a sword hanging above Qi Guo.

In order to repair this ditch, Zhao Guo spent a lot of resources and energy, and was even forced to slow down the process of digesting Luo Guo.

Now it seems that everything is worth it.

If the high dam is really used in the future, it will hurt Tianhe, and the specific host will inevitably smell for thousands of years, so Zhao Huang does not want He Zhan to take over in person.

He Zhan did not reject His Majesty's good intentions this time, saying: "I will choose the right person, Qi people will definitely find a way to make trouble, then kill another batch by the way."

The emperor smiled helplessly and said, "Can you not think about killing all day?"

The twilight darkened, the window shadow faded, and the light in the temple was red and warm.

The emperor and He Zhan's voice became lower and lower.

The eunuch and the court lady looked at the scene outside the hall, with a smile on their faces.

People in the palace have long been accustomed to this kind of picture where the monarchs and ministers meet and discuss the country together.

Unfortunately, Grandpa He is an eunuch, and his reputation is too bad, otherwise it will definitely become a good story in history.

As the night drew near, the palace was lit with lights.

The emperor was tired, coughed a few times, and sat on the couch with He Zhan's help.

He Zhan said again: "You have to take care of your body."

The emperor put his left hand on his knee, waved his right hand, and said, "You know I can't live for a few years, how can I not worry?"

If you are an ordinary courtier, you should cry at this time and say what your majesty is doing well.

He Zhan did not do this, just looked at the emperor quietly.

The emperor lowered his head, tired.

He looked at the top of the emperor's head. The three swirls were very clear, which represented cleverness.

The emperor has always been a very intelligent person.

"I want to do something for the people of Zhao Guozi, for the people of the world, if I am too late ..."

The emperor still lowered his head and said, "You help me finish these things."

Even if the emperor didn't ask for it, He Zhan would do it, because that was what he had to do.

He endured humiliation and pain, walked in the dark and did not see the sun, just to finally wipe out the nations, become the co-owner of the world, and finally succeeded.

He was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked a sentence: "Is this a last word or a lonely one?"

The difference between the last words and Tuogu lies in the word Gu.

The temple became very quiet.

The eunuch's court ladies have long avoided it.

The emperor slowly raised his head and looked at him and said, "Are you still not supporting my decision?"

Just a few days ago, a major event happened in Zhao Guo.

The emperor was weak and had no heirs, so he decided to choose a nephew from the clan's children as his son.

Finally, after several selections, the emperor chose the so-called smart and honest little guy in the Hejian Palace.

"I have always opposed this decision."

He Zhan calmly said: "That's an unfamiliar wolf cub."

The matter involves the succession of the throne, and an eunuch is not qualified to comment, let alone make such a rough and wild statement.

The emperor was not angry, and said after a moment of silence: "It can only be so, you help me watch."

He Zhan said: "Okay."

The emperor was angry at this time because he knew He Zhan was lying.

He Zhan asked just now whether it was a last word or a solitary orphan, and he has made his attitude very clear.

"I know that you will not treat that child like I did after my death."

The emperor stared at He Zhan's eyes and said, "Because you have always wanted to be a real emperor."

He Zhan was silent for a while and said, "It's not wrong to say so."

Regarding this matter, there were many rumors in the country and even in foreign countries. The emperor did not ask, and He Zhan did not say that, until this night.

The emperor's face was even paler, with angry flames jumping in his eyes, as if looking at a betrayal villain.

He Zhan was irritated by his eyes and said, "You can be this emperor without me? Without me, you don't know how many times you have died!"

The emperor Shen Sheng said: "But this is what you should do!"

He Zhanwei laughed and said: "Why? Because you are the emperor and I am a courtier?"

The emperor was silent for a while and said, "No, because we are friends."

He Zhan said: "I have forgotten many things, but I always remember the word" friend "as unbelievable, and it sounds disgusting."

The emperor was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "Did you do the hands and feet of the chestnut tree on the slope of the Yuhua Garden?"

He Zhan frowned slightly and said, "How do you know?"

The emperor said: "You did not succeed at the time, it will inevitably leave some traces."

He Zhan said: "In the past, you also checked me, knowing that I have a relationship with the old eunuch Hong, then you will know me, to put it plainly, you are also using me.

The emperor said with some consternation: "Yeah, from the beginning we have used each other's relationship."

He Zhan remained silent.

The emperor suddenly coughed, looking very painful.

He Zhan frowned slightly, took out a panacea, weighed it for a long time, cut off about a quarter, fed it into his mouth, and helped him lie down.

The emperor coughed gradually, calmed down, and closed his eyes to refresh himself.

He Zhan said goodbye, ready to leave.

The emperor suddenly shouted at him, looked at his back, and asked, "Are you ... not a person in this world?"

He Zhan was a little stiff and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

The emperor withdrew his eyes and looked out at the starry sky outside the window.

"I didn't think this world was false until I found out that you still have no feelings for this world before I started to think about it."

He Zhan said, "I don't understand what you mean."

The emperor said: "To this world, you are like an eternal guest. To you, I always seem to be a stranger, which is what I mean."

He Zhan lowered his head for a moment, and said, "I will wait for you till the end, and I will do nothing, and I will also protect Queen I Fuze."

After finishing this sentence, he walked out of the hall without turning around and turning back.

"If you are not an eunuch, how can I give you the throne ..."

The voice of the emperor came behind him.

When he walked outside the hall, his eunuch put a big cloak on him.

In the middle of the night, it is inevitable that it will be cold.

Dozens of eunuchs surrounded him and walked outside the palace.

These eunuchs are his subordinates and have extremely terrible combat power. In this situation, it is difficult to kill He Zhan.

Seeing the palace gate in front, He Zhan suddenly stopped and said, "I'm going to see somewhere, you are waiting for me here."

The eunuchs were shocked and thought that the hero heroes who wanted to kill He Gonggong in the world did not know much, but it was not safe in the palace.

He Zhan came to the Royal Garden.

He stood under the chestnut tree and looked silently into the distance.

The starlight spilled over the big black cloak.

He looked like a nostalgic devil.

...

...

(Note: The chapter name comes from-under the shaded chestnut tree, you betrayed me, and I betrayed you.)
