Chapter 1112: Liu Someone Doesn't Want to Be What Emperor

Qing Yangshuo, heading to Nanyang.

Hu Xi'er and Mo Chen, heading to Ottoman.

And the third group, they are heading to Siberia. Liu Zheng chose not someone else, but Zhai Shiqing.

This female-disguised general, in Liangzhou, is now known to every household. Moreover, she gets along very well with Zou Sheng. Speaking of this, it is still a rather interesting story. Before going to Central Asia to fight, Zou Sheng had always thought that Zhai Shiqing was a boy. Although he looks quite delicate, he had always treated him as a brother, a true brother.

Who would have thought...

After the two ended the Central Asian war, they were arm-in-arm returning to Liangzhou at that time.

The Zhai family that Zhai Shiqing belongs to, is nevertheless a proper prestigious clan in Liangzhou. When the parents came out to greet them, seeing the appearance of these two, their faces instantly turned black.

What kind of person is Zou Sheng?

He came out from Yintan City, that is, the son of a slave!

But what about their daughter?

She is a proper scholarly family, a prestigious noble clan!

How can this be acceptable!

However.

When they at that time heard that throughout Liangzhou, there were shouts like a mountain calling and sea roaring "Zou General", "Zou General", they still swallowed back the words they wanted to say. Because Zou Sheng's prestige is truly too high, that splendid battle near the Black Sea made him almost become people's choice as Qin Zhangfeng's successor...

Qin General's successor!

On that day, Liu Dahao personally brought his own wife out to welcome! On the spot, he conferred upon Zou Sheng the title of Zhenxi General of the Xiliang Palace!

This is quite a great honor. Liangzhou values military merit, Zou Sheng can be said to have undergone a qualitative transformation at the Liangzhou Military Academy.

His parents, moreover, because of their son's reason, had long moved out of Yintan City and taken residence in a grand mansion. The couple who had been slaves for half a lifetime, their walking posture also straightened accordingly.

Zhai Shiqing's parents, upon seeing this situation.

Nowadays Liangzhou, is no longer the Liangzhou of before, the social customs don't know how much more open they have become... Not seeing their own daughter, also being conferred the title of Pingdong General...

They gritted their teeth hard, feeling that they cannot let such an opportunity pass.

On the spot, they brought along family retainers, servants, driving several carts piled full of gifts, rushing to Zou Sheng's home.

This startled Zou Sheng's parents, who were nearby visiting, into a jump.

Not only were there several carts of gifts, but also there was gong-beating and drum-playing, joyous and festive.

Zhai Shiqing's parents, actually personally came to the door to propose marriage!

Proposing for their daughter to a man, this is probably the first example in the Longyan Dynasty! But it can also be seen that the Zhai family being able to take deep root in Liangzhou for so many years, the person holding power in this household, is indeed not ordinary.

With such a lively scene.

Zhai Shiqing, embarrassed, dug back into the house.

Zou Sheng then had a dazed face, unable to recover his senses for a long time.

What the heck?

My almost sworn brother, is actually a woman?

And moreover came to propose to me...

This news, to Zou Sheng, is indeed somewhat shocking.

Following, he then turned his face dark.

No wonder during the campaign, when I wanted to compare with her who could pee higher, she spat at me and ran off. I still laughed and teased, Zhai Shiqing like a woman.

Unexpectedly...

I go!

Could it not be, she was beside me, secretly looking at me naked?

How unreasonable!

How unreasonable!

He turned around and wanted to go find trouble with Zhai Shiqing... but soon was surrounded by this group of people beating gongs and drums, Zhai Shiqing's parents, and the people who came to congratulate at the door.

One morning famous under heaven, and moreover a prestigious clan daughter came to propose.

This Zou Sheng, now truly can be counted as a life winner.

Does Zou Sheng like Zhai Shiqing?

This almost

Need not be said.

Several times he looked at this brother of his, and could not help but feel his heart move, thinking why he could not be a girl.

That naturally...

Is easy to say.

The two families had no objections, both agreed to this marriage, Liu Dahao and Feng Sanniang, moreover personally came to congratulate, personally bestowed the marriage. This added joy upon joy, also became a fine tale in Liangzhou.

Sitting in the first-class carriage of the train, Zhai Shiqing at this time still wore military uniform, heroic and spirited.

Only in her eyes, all was tender longing.

I don't know, how is Elder Brother Zou doing in the Western Regions...

Why does news of frequent defeats in the Western Regions keep coming? This should not be his true ability.

"General, the tea is about to get cold."

A personal maid beside her, softly reminded.

Zhai Shiqing frowned tightly, not in the mood to drink tea.

Possibly because the maid has been with her since childhood, felt her young lady's unhappiness, so she cautiously teased: "Miss is thinking of her son-in-law!"

Zhai Shiqing's face instantly turned red, although they are engaged, they have not yet truly married, cannot withstand such teasing.

She lightly struck the maid, sighed and said: "I am only worried, Elder Brother Zou has been losing battles all along, on this journey, the people of Longyan everywhere are cursing. This is not good for his reputation."

The maid also nodded.

Since the loss of Balkhash Lake, public opinion in the Western Regions has exploded. Coupled with recent dissatisfaction among many regarding Liu Zheng's constitutional monarchy, numerous people have emerged, beginning to criticize the Liangzhou side.

The invincible Liangzhou Army, defeated consecutively like this?

The invincible Liu Zheng, bringing forth such a general?

Zou Sheng, whose fame has soared, is merely an embroidered pillow?

Liu Shi Lang, who once created countless myths, this time, is ineffective?

Step down!

In nearly every major province, people are shouting for Liu Zheng to step down. What qualifies such a person to enter the Cabinet? What qualifies such a person to establish a parliament? What qualifies such a person to control the Duqi and Duwei of Jinghua? What qualifies such a person to have the final say in Longyan?

Public opinion is terrifying.

Ultimately, leading to Zhai Shiqing being able to hear people gossiping about Zou Sheng even before leaving Liangzhou, that unpleasant talk made her nearly unable to restrain herself from retorting several times.

"Miss, the son-in-law surely has his own ideas. Xing'er may not understand war, but this war is certainly not something decided overnight, right?"

The maid comforted her own miss.

Who would have thought, such a sentence, yet it made Zhai Shiqing's delicate body tremble, looking astonished: "What did you say?"

"Ah?"

Xing'er was also startled.

Following, Zhai Shiqing laughed heartily, patting her thigh: "I understand now!"

Recalling her mission this time, and then the successive defeats with Brother Zou...

She couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Zou Sheng, this time, is luring the sovereign into a trap!

The young master this time, intends to catch the turtle in the urn!

Following, she suddenly felt that this time, her burden is truly great, her mission glorious.

If she fails...

Zou Sheng's side will bear immense pressure!

Thinking of this, she once again marvels at the young master's idea. What is this? Fighting as sworn brothers, husband and wife soldiers on the battlefield!

She and Zou Sheng, this mutual response.

Not only does it demonstrate Liu Zheng's trust in them, but it also aims to apply the默契between husband and wife to the fullest!

"Brother Zou, this time, I will surely accomplish it more beautifully than you!"

Zhai Shiqing, a flash of精光passed through her eyes.

Her competitive spirit was aroused.

Parliament.

Finally, it was successfully established as desired.

These days in Jinghua, it has actually not been peaceful. Every day, people parade and demonstrate on the streets, calling for supreme imperial authority, calling for the overthrow of Liu Zheng. The atmosphere once became very tense.

But regarding constitutional monarchy, Liu Zheng's attitude is very firm.

No room for negotiation.

Whoever tries to obstruct, then kill!

Anyway, he has the Duqi Duwei in his hands; even if this time leaves some infamy, he doesn't care. Thus, during this period, he has never appeared in public, yet undoubtedly controls the security of the entire Capital behind the scenes. Jiang Xuan is the one charging ahead. He has repeatedly stirred up bloody storms on the streets, the coldness on his face never showing a trace of mercy.

He knows the young master is watching him from somewhere.

Or in a high-rise building.

Or in a horse carriage.

So, he kills with even greater vigor.

In these few days, he has already exterminated several ministers' entire clans, killed several branches of noble feudatory kings.

He thus earned the "beautiful name" of "Liangzhou Butcher"!

The atmosphere in Jinghua is thus.

Almost every day, someone is arrested, someone is killed, someone is beheaded at Wumen.

People's hearts are in panic.

And regarding this matter, more and more people choose silence.

People discovered...

What old aristocrats, new aristocrats, scholar-officials...

Those who once deeply despised Liu Zheng, now all have no voice.

Those who used to make noise every day, each one has become foolish.

The plot should not be like this...

Why don't they come out to oppose Liu Zheng?

Is it fear of the knife in Liu Zheng's hands?

Or has Liu Zheng already reached some agreement with them?

Thinking of this, many people feel a strong sense of helplessness in their hearts.

Thus.

The noisy people are becoming fewer and fewer.

Parliament, also formally established just like this.

At this moment, standing on the high tower of the Imperial Observatory in Jinghua, Liu Zheng, with hands behind his back, silently gazes upon all of Jinghua. As the highest building in Jinghua, the height of the Imperial Observatory is permitted by the imperial family. Yuan Qingming, meanwhile, stands behind him.

The old man who had followed Xie Tianyao his whole life, at this moment, gazing at Liu Zheng's back, sighed involuntarily.

This young man before him...

He resembled Xie Tianyao from the past.

Only, he was more willing than Xie Tianyao to stand in the open, more willing to sacrifice his life and forget death, to bear certain burdens.

Compared to Xie Tianyao's ruthlessness, Liu Zheng preferred open strategies.

Xie Ming these past few days had completely run out of options.

The people he had hired with money were either killed or captured.

By now, he could no longer resist Liu Zheng.

Everyone knew, Longyan had undergone a change of heaven.

The Xie Family had already begun to decline gradually.

"Minister Liu, everyone has arrived."

Yuan Qingming, hearing the bell from deep within the Imperial Palace, spoke calmly.

Liu Zheng nodded slightly, with a faint smile: "Minister Yuan, do you also think I am going too far?"

Yuan Qingming gave a bitter laugh: "In extraordinary times, one uses extraordinary means. This city of Jinghua—most of its blood, is our own people's. For thousands of years, Minister Liu, to stabilize the situation with the smallest cost, I have already looked upon you with new eyes. But..."

Liu Zheng laughed loudly, his face showing no fear: "Minister Yuan..."

"As long as I, Liu, do not become emperor, who dares to do anything to me? You say... is that so?"

After saying this, he strode downstairs.

Yuan Qingming trembled all over, bowing deeply toward Liu Zheng's back. Recently pop-up ads have been severe, click to download to avoid pop-up ads.
