Chapter 191 Closing Transition
To bid farewell to the old year with the sound of firecrackers, always replace the old talisman with the new peach.
Whether ancient or modern, the Spring Festival is the most important festival of the year. On New Year’s Eve, the family can have a reunion dinner together, which means that the family will still have surplus at the end of the year, which is the happiest and most satisfying thing.
The newly cut bamboo poles were crackling in the city, and the children were playing around the fire, louder than the bamboo being thrown into it.
All this looks so harmonious and peaceful.
But following a roar, a series of loud roars came from the east of the city, like thunder rolling and deafening.
The children who were hit by dimensionality reduction hurried towards the Zhou Mansion in the direction of the green smoke, and saw the shreds of paper all over the floor at a glance, as well as the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke.
Lv Zhi, who has always been bold, was also frightened by the firecrackers in front of him at this moment, and lit a long incense stick foolishly. It was not until Zhou Ji pulled him to him that he remembered to cover his ears, and stared dumbfounded at the smoke and flames in front of him. thousands of hanging firecrackers.
Gao Yue next to him had already shrunk into Xiang Yu's arms, holding the head of a frightened quail in both hands, trembling.
Gao Yao glanced at Zhou Ji who was hugging left and right, and then at Gao Yue Xiang Yu who was hugging each other. He couldn't help curling his lips, holding his chin, looking melancholy at the smoky street, feeling empty in his heart.
During the Chinese New Year this year, Yi Xiaochuan did not come over.
After learning that he does not help each other and does not want to participate in the dispute between Zhou Ji and himself, although Yi Xiaochuan didn't say much, his eyes and attitude were much colder than before.
Gao Yao didn't want this, and he didn't understand why it happened like this.
On the night of New Year's Eve, Gao Yao was so drunk that he didn't call out a person's name while he was intoxicated until he was sent to the guest room to rest.
‘Gao Lan’
After the new year, everything seems to be back to normal, the first floor of the world reopened, and the business is booming day by day. Lu Zhi and Su Su occasionally ask Gao Yue for advice on embroidery stitches, and Gao Yao's attitude towards Zhou Ji is also the same as before. Similarly, only Yi Xiaochuan seems to have disappeared, never appearing in front of them again.
At first, Gao Yue would ask a few more questions, but as time passed, she also got used to Gao Yao's rhetoric. I really thought that he was highly valued by His Majesty, and he was busy with important affairs every day, so he didn't have time to come and see her for the time being.
Of course, Gao Yao's words are not without reason.
During the few days of Chinese New Year, Yi Xiaochuan tried hard to think about how to bring history back to the right track, but with his shoddy grades and naive thinking, he finally only came to the superficial conclusion that "Zhao Gao" is the key to this period of history.
But now he has almost gone through all the household registration information in the palace, but he has not been able to find Zhao Gao. Just when he was at a loss, he suddenly found Zhao Gao in the list of people who came to pay tribute from all over the place. The name found.
"Zhao Gao? Zhao Gao!" Yi Xiaochuan subconsciously showed a look of surprise, but in addition to the surprise, he couldn't help feeling a little hesitation in his heart.
In his memory, Zhao Gao caused chaos in the court and committed all kinds of evil. If you really want to support such a traitor to the throne, won't you kill more people?
Looking down at the hem of the skirt, the hesitation in Yi Xiaochuan's eyes was immediately suppressed by the haze.
‘It was Zhou Ji who destroyed history. I helped Zhao Gao to put history on the right track. '
Muttering in his mouth, Yi Xiaochuan summoned the attendants outside the hall, asking him to invite Zhao Gao, the county magistrate of Liangzhou, and let him secretly inquire about this person's character and details.
However, when he saw the stammering and wretched-looking county magistrate Zhao Gao in front of him, his whole person became bad.
"Are you really Zhao Gao?"
Yi Xiaochuan circled around this person several times, his scrutinizing eyes stared at this person limply on the ground, and couldn't help shivering: "Down~~Down~~~Down~~~Down~~~~"
"Why are you scared? I didn't scare you! I just asked you if you are Zhao Gao!"
Zhao Gao stuttered when he spoke, and the more anxious he became, the more he couldn't speak, and it took him a long time to "down~" before he finally managed to choke out the word "xiaguan".
By the time he finished saying 'the next official is Zhao Gao', the veins on Yi Xiaochuan's forehead were tense, and his blood pressure was almost full.
Can this kind of person really be favored by His Majesty and cause trouble for the court?
Yi Xiaochuan himself did not believe it.
Holding his forehead, he opened the letterhead handed over by the attendant, glanced at it roughly, and found that Zhao Gao looked timid and cowardly, and Liangzhou County under his rule was a fish and meat township, where he never did bad things.
He came to Xianyang to pay tribute this time because of the complaints from the people under his rule. He was afraid that his bad news would spread to the court, so he came to clear up the relationship in advance and make good friends.
Facing such stupid and bad corrupt officials, even Yi Xiaochuan is helpless.
Now he wants to save his future self, so he can only step into the quagmire, even if it is dirty and smelly, it must be like this.
But the Zhao Gao in front of him is very different from Yi Xiaochuan's impression in terms of image and handling methods.
Even if you help him get through the relationship and send him to His Majesty to show his face, Yi Xiaochuan believes that His Majesty will definitely not accept this dog official in front of him.
Even Yi Xiaochuan himself will be implicated.
Hesitated for a moment, Yi Xiaochuan sighed softly, closed the letter paper in his hand, sent someone to take Zhao Gao down, and handed over the letter paper to Ting Wei according to the law.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Gao was so frightened that he fell to the ground and vomited blood. He died before he was dragged out.
Seeing that Zhao Gao was frightened to death, Yi Xiaochuan heaved a sigh of relief.
"From this point of view, this Zhao Gaoji may be a person with the same name and surname, but if this is the case, where is the real Zhao Gao?" Yi Xiaochuan frowned slightly, and then relieved, "The same name. If you can't find the same name Zhao Gao, then can I create a Zhao Gao, let him replace the original one, and do all the things that Zhao Gao has done in history."
Yi Xiaochuan's eyes are getting brighter and brighter, he feels like he has opened a window and found a shortcut to solve the current situation.
There is already a solution, but where can I find such a person?
Now he is no longer the heartless Yi Xiaochuan back then.
He can't guarantee whether the Zhao Gao he launched can still be controlled by him after he obtains a high position in history.
In these years in the palace, he has seen too much darkness, even at this moment he has been in the darkness, and he will no longer have 100% trust in anyone.
"Without Zhao Gao, I will be Zhao Gao myself. When the day comes when the deer is turned into a horse, I will control all the people in the court, but I say I am Zhao Gao, and I am Zhao Gao!"
A few days later.
Yu Shu has been in the palace for nearly a year, and due to various reasons, she has not been able to sleep with His Majesty. The other concubines in the palace also avoided her, and privately ridiculed her as a "plague god", for fear that if they got too close to her, they would catch the plague.
Being in the limbo is no different from being in the limbo.
Yushu didn't hate this feeling of purity, but what the queen mother said when she returned to Tu'an, as well as General Jin Wei's occasional messages, kept putting pressure on her from all aspects, forcing her to take the opportunity of today's court meeting to perform dances. As an opportunity, he poisoned the wine respected to Ying Zheng.
Speaking of which, this is the first time Yi Xiaochuan saw Yu Shu dancing.
A piece of white gauze spread out, using the hem of the sleeve as a pen, splashing ink, like a person in a painting, frozen in Yi Xiaochuan's eyes.
The lotus steps are swaying gently, with a graceful posture.
Yu Shu picked up the drink beside him and walked past Yi Xiaochuan step by step, without looking sideways, without stopping, as if he didn't see him, he stepped up the steps and handed the drink to Ying Zheng.
"Are you a beautiful woman?" Since Yu Shu entered the palace, Ying Zheng rarely saw her again.
At first, because of Weifu's private visit, he thought about letting Yushu go to bed after returning to the palace, but as soon as he came back, he caught up with the plague in Yushu Palace. He has never dared to take Yu to sleep, and as time goes by, he has even forgotten the beautiful woman in front of him.
Now that the frightening dance from entering the palace reappeared, Yingzheng's lustful heart was aroused again, and after taking a sip of the wine Yushu handed over, he couldn't help laughing and said: "It seems that Yumei is recovering well after her serious illness. Come, come, sit next to me and watch the ceremony together."
Yi Xiaochuan in the audience felt his heart was bleeding, and seeing that Ying Zheng's palm was about to rest on Yu Shu's waist, he hurriedly stepped forward to interrupt Ying Zheng's movements, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, although the Six Kingdoms have entered the The territory of the Qin State, but the world is still not unified, I obtained a map of the universe from a hermit master, and today it is dedicated to Your Majesty."
Yi Xiaochuan's words were like a bolt from the blue, which immediately detonated the court.
Peace the years of troubled times since the Great Zhou Dynasty and create an unprecedented unification.
This is the greatest pride of Yingzheng, and also the greatest pride of the courtiers.
Hearing Yi Xiaochuan's almost disobedient remarks, there were endless reprimands from the audience, and Ying Zheng's own face became more and more ugly, and even took back the half-stretched hand from Yushu's waist.
However, after all, it was because of Zhou Shenxian's face, Ying Zheng did not get angry in public, but ordered his servant to take the blueprint from Yi Xiaochuan's hand and spread it on the table.
The map of Nuo Da occupies the entire desktop, while the area of Qin State only occupies a small part of the map. This size contrast makes Ying Zheng's pupils shrink suddenly, and then reacts quickly, puts away the map, and sinks Said: "Who gave you this thing?"
Yi Xiaochuan's eyes flashed, he leaned over and said, "A 'god'."
All the officials in the audience snorted when they heard this, but Li Si's eyes flickered, as if thinking of something, he looked up at His Majesty.
Ying Zheng also happened to be looking at Li Si at this time, and the tacit understanding between the monarch and his ministers made them think of Zhou Ji, the real 'living fairy' at the same time.
Withdrawing his gaze, Ying Zheng flashed a moment of astonishment, gently wiped the blueprint in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Then tell that god, this gift is very much in line with my wishes."
Seeing that Ying Zheng misunderstood that the object was given by Zhou Ji, Yi Xiaochuan hid the light in his eyes, smiled calmly, and saluted again neither humble nor overbearing.
Yi Xiaochuan made great contributions in presenting treasures, so he was rewarded by Yingzheng. At the same time, he served as Lang Zhongling from the CRRC Mansion, which caused an uproar among the officials.
Yu Shu, on the other hand, stared blankly at the blueprint in His Majesty's hand, repeating what Yi Xiaochuan had said to her in his mind.
Sure enough, there is such a large unclaimed land outside of Qin.
You really lied to me again.
Yu Shu turned his head and glanced at Yi Xiaochuan, the misery in his eyes turned into a trace of coldness, and finally turned into giving up.
Completely give up.
Yi Xiaochuan pretended not to notice Yu Shu's eyes all the time, he knew that his crippled body could no longer be with Yu Shu.
Even if it hurts Yushu now, it is only to make the future self appear smoothly, and then avoid the regrets of this life, and close the loop at the next time to compensate the other party.
After this, Yi Xiaochuan's official position became higher and higher, and the power he controlled in the court became more and more powerful.
Half a year later, Ying Zheng's body deteriorated sharply from a month ago, and his desire for longevity became more and more urgent.
Zhou Ji sees everything.
Yi Xiaochuan's behavior in the court is like a clown in his eyes, even if he uses his momentum to deceive Yingzheng, he turns a blind eye.
These powers and benefits are like ropes that are getting tighter and tighter, tightening his neck little by little, pulling him into an abyss from which he cannot turn back.
During the six months, Yi Xiaochuan played tricks and tricks in the court, while Gaoyao ushered in the second happy event since time travel.
Gao Yue gets married.
After nearly a year of getting along, the relationship between Xiang Yu and Gao Yue can be regarded as a matter of course. Gao Yao and Xiang Liang, as their elders, are also quite optimistic about this marriage.
July 15th, the day of Hungry Ghost Festival, Gao Yue got married, and she and Xiang Yu officially became husband and wife.
For this, Gao Yao was gratified, but he couldn't help feeling sad. On the day of the wedding, he was even more sad than the bride crying. With snot and tears, he grabbed Xiang Yu and warned him to treat Gao Yue better. Don't let her down.
After the wedding, according to what Zhou Ji and Gao Yao said, Xiang Yu took Gao Yue on a honeymoon trip. House ruins, learned the real surname.
Yu.
When the old man called her 'Concubine Yu' in the way of Chu people, Gao Yue suddenly felt homesick.
I think about that home in Xianyang.
In mid-October, the two set off to return to Xianyang. However, along the way, what they saw was devastation, victims stretching for hundreds of miles, and floods everywhere they went.
Floods are often accompanied by plagues. When they arrived in Xianyang, they felt that the atmosphere of the whole city of Xianyang had become a little weird. There was a saying in the city that the Great Qin was about to perish because of the evil spirit.
Xiang Yu didn't understand astronomical phenomena, so he scoffed at this statement, but after observing along the way, he did find that the current atmosphere in Qin State was indeed a bit wrong.
Liu Bang, who was far away in Pei County, was much more accurate than Xiang Yu in seeing these things.
In the past six months, there has been a mysterious person in Xianyang who has been helping him, giving him whatever he asks, as long as he makes friends and wins people's hearts.
Although she didn't know what the other party meant by doing this, according to her observations, it seemed that the strange atmosphere scattered among the people was provoked by that person.
