Chapter 22: Get lost, don’t force me to slap you when I’m feeling comfortable
Defei angrily threw the handkerchief in her hand to the ground.
"No, no matter if it's Xia Shuyi or Qu Zhiwei, we can't let them become queens."
After thinking about it, she decided to seek cooperation from Concubine Shen Liuzheng.
The Shen family is stationed at the border, commanding an army of 200,000. With this background, the emperor will definitely not choose her as the queen.
After all, the foreign relatives were too powerful and posed a great threat to the royal family.
After she and Concubine Shu joined forces to kill Xia Shuyi and Qu Zhiwei, the throne of the empress would definitely fall into her hands.
…
"What does it have to do with me who becomes the empress?" Shen Liuzheng looked at Concubine De who came to her house with some impatience.
The harem is full of people, and no matter who becomes the queen, no one dares to harm her.
"You don't want to be suppressed by them, do you? It's best for you and me now that there is no empress's harem." Defei tried to convince her.
"Get lost! Don't force me to slap you when I'm feeling comfortable." Shen Liuzheng lowered her eyes and concentrated on stroking the black cat in her arms.
The black cat made gurgling sounds and seemed to be very comfortable. A faint smile appeared on Shen Liuzheng's lips.
Defei was shocked by her rude words.
The reason why she looked for Shen Liuzheng was because she thought that Shen Liuzheng was born in a family of military generals, only knew how to practice martial arts, had a dull mind, and could be easily used. She didn't expect that she would be so disrespectful to her.
"You, how can you say that? You and I are both one of the Four Concubines, how can you hit me?" Defei's face turned red and her teeth itched with anger.
"Because you are neither the empress nor the emperor's beloved concubine." Shen Liuzheng picked up the apple at hand.
She squeezed the apple gently with one hand, and it broke into pieces.
Concubine De felt a chill on her back. Shen Liuzheng was blatantly threatening her.
"Okay, you are noble and great, but if you are targeted in the future, don't come to me for help." After saying these harsh words, she left angrily.
"Tsk." Shen Liuzheng laughed disdainfully when he heard her say that.
Dare to target her? Her fists are not vegetarian.
She had no intention of getting involved in the fight for the queen's position, and if someone was blind enough to bother her, she would not be foolish enough to let themselves be bullied.
Among the people in the harem, only the newly born Ninth Princess is interesting.
After thinking about it, she sent a message to Xia Shuyi, inviting her to visit Shouxi Palace tomorrow.
The next day, Xia Shuyi came.
But Lu Li didn't come.
"Where is Xiaojiu?" Shen Liuzheng was a little surprised.
"She was taken away by the Emperor." Xia Shuyi explained hurriedly.
These days, the emperor always takes his daughter out to play and hardly ever lets go of her.
Shen Liuzheng was a little disappointed. She had invited Xia Shuying because she wanted to hear what the young man had to say.
If Lu Li doesn't come, there's no point in chatting with Xia Shuyi.
At this moment, Lu Li, who was being missed by Concubine Shu, was lying in Lu Yanshi's arms, listening to Qu Fufeng telling stories about China's five thousand years of history.
[Damn it, they are all beasts, how can they be so evil! ]
[These unworthy descendants are really bringing shame to the ancestors of Yan and Huang. ]
When Lu Li heard Qu Fufeng talking about the Eight-Nation Alliance's invasion of China, she was so angry that she clenched her hands into fists. If she had grown teeth, she would probably have bitten her lips by now.
Lu Yanshi was also very dissatisfied.
When he heard about Qin Shihuang unifying the six kingdoms two days ago, he was full of passion and regarded him as a close friend.
Unexpectedly, in the late Qing Dynasty, we were bullied by foreigners at home.
It's such a waste.
As he listened, Lu Yanshi thought of himself and was shocked.
"As you said, the world is round. Maybe there are foreigners with blond hair and blue eyes on the other side of us?"
"We can't rule out this possibility." Qu Fufeng said with a dry mouth and took a big gulp of water.
A sense of crisis arose in Lu Yanshi's heart.
It seems that in addition to unifying the world like Qin Shihuang, he also has to conquer the other side of the earth.
Unify the whole world into the territory of Daxia and let the officials of Daxia discipline those uncivilized foreigners. We must never repeat the mistakes of the late Qing Dynasty.
Qu Fufeng didn't know that what he said had changed the emperor's opinion.
He deliberately spoke slowly and in detail, hoping that the emperor would spare his life. Otherwise, what would he do if he told the emperor everything he knew and then he would be killed?
Lu Yanshi naturally knew what he meant, but since what he said was interesting and it made his little daughter happy for a moment every day, he didn't expose him.
But he now felt a sense of urgency and could not let him continue to get away with it like this.
"Tell me everything you know that is useful. Don't keep anything to yourself. Otherwise, I will kill you immediately." Lu Yanshi looked at him meaningfully.
After being threatened by him, Qu Fufeng dared not say anything else and immediately told him everything in a concise manner.
After thinking for a while, Lu Yanshi made a decision: "From today on, I will assign you a team to research the gunpowder bomb for me."
According to the calculations of this fake Qu Fufeng, if they can produce this weapon of mass destruction, unifying the current four countries will not be a problem.
Then send troops to fight foreigners, bring back those who can build chariots and flying chickens, and unify the earth.
Perhaps in his lifetime he would really be able to see a horse-drawn carriage traveling thousands of miles a day, and even go to heaven to see it himself.
"I don't have to die anymore?" Qu Fufeng was excited.
"Well, as long as you can make something useful, I will ensure your safety. If you work for me honestly, I will give you glory and wealth." Lu Yanshi waved his hand and made the decision.
"From now on, you will work in the Ministry of Industry."
"Thank you, Lord." Qu Fufeng thanked him repeatedly. He finally survived.
It seems that he was thinking wrongly at first.
He thought that the current emperor was a tyrant, and if he was loyal to him, he would definitely end up being killed after the cunning rabbit died. It would be safer to rebel and take the throne himself.
I didn't expect that the other party was such an enlightened monarch.
If he had known this earlier, he would have come directly to cling to this golden thigh.
[Fortunately, Father didn't know that this guy had planned to rebel before, otherwise he would have been chopped to pieces.]
Lu Li muttered to herself.
She glanced at Qu Fufeng who was filled with gratitude.
[You are lucky to have met such an enlightened emperor like my father. Otherwise, you would be dead.]
[But how did Father know that there was something wrong with this guy? ]
Lu Li racked her brains to figure it out but couldn't figure it out. In the end, she could only conclude that the emperor had too many spies and knew everything.
When Lu Yanshi heard his daughter's thoughts, he said nothing but a smile appeared on his face.
Although Qu Fufeng knows a lot, he is alone and cannot become a big shot.
In addition, his frail body made it easy to kill him. Instead of killing Qu Fufeng, it would be better to dig out the wonderful ideas in his head and strengthen the national strength of Da Xia.
Lu Yanshi felt a surge of passion in his heart.
If he really unified the world and became the greatest emperor of all time, how would future generations record his achievements?
However, the next moment, his good mood was ruined by Lu Li's inner voice.
