The Strategy of Monarch and Minister in the Strategy of Civil Attack and Martial Arts

Chapter 4

In fact, I just want to be with that person...to be with him all the time...

Liu Qiuyu woke up from the dream in a trance and rubbed her sleepy eyes.

As expected, he was drunk and dreamed about the past.

Why do I suddenly dream of that earliest memory?He was puzzled at first, and then laughed at himself.

At that time, he was really stupid, but he never regretted it.

Ever since he was almost bitten to death by a poisonous snake in the back garden, Pei Shengyu finally accepted him, at least he was no longer as cold as he was at the beginning.

But not long after, King Dongli fell ill and died suddenly, and a catastrophe came quietly, disrupting everything.

Pei Shengyu, who could not be his own master, finally ascended to the throne. I don't know if God favored him, so he fulfilled his wish and let them use the relationship between monarch and minister to tightly trap each other

, Through the most difficult years together.

However, after growing up, he suddenly discovered that he was not the only trustworthy confidant beside that person.

Luo Fengyang, Gong Moyao, Hua Qingqing...they appeared one by one and helped that person solve many problems that he couldn't solve by himself.

What I seek is no longer as simple as the relationship between monarch and minister.

It's just that I was taught since I was a child, and I was not allowed to do anything out of line, so I had no choice but to walk on the same spot in such an ambiguous and hesitant manner, forcing both of them to feel uncomfortable...

Sighing and sitting up, Liu Qiuyu looked around, and found that she was not sleeping at home, but in... King Dongli's bedroom? !

His eyes widened in surprise.What happened last night?

Quickly recalling the scene of last night, she touched her lips subconsciously, as if there was still a trace of warmth on her lips.

Is this also a dream?Why is it so real?

He got up and opened the window, and the cold wind was blowing. He was a little dazed and a little scared. After returning to his senses, he began to worry about whether he accidentally exposed the deepest thoughts in his heart when he was drunk.

Suddenly, the bedroom door was gently pushed open, Liu Qiuyu didn't notice, she was still staring out of the window in a daze, until the person who came in approached his back and hugged his waist suddenly, he jumped up in panic, struggling

escaped from each other's arms.

Turning around, seeing Pei Shengyu's smirk, he immediately knelt down. "I don't know His Majesty is coming, I deserve death!"

"Hehe, this is not the only crime you have. You missed the court this morning." Sitting at the table, Pei Shengyu looked at him with a smile, without any sign of blame.

From the king in front of him, I can't see the shadow of the second highness who rejected people for thousands of miles in the past. People really change, and even he can feel that he has long since become unrecognizable and selfish.

An overweight villain.

"Your Majesty, please punish me..." he whispered.

Such a self has long forgotten the family rules of the ancestors, and should be severely punished.

"It's more than that! I don't know who was holding me last night, calling 'Brother Yu', and finally vomited all over me..." Pei Shengyu ignored him and said with shame on his face.

Hearing this, Liu Qiuyu's face instantly turned pale, and she hastily kowtowed, "This humble official has forgotten his identity and lost his etiquette. He deserves death!"

"Forget it, get up, if you really want to forget it, I caused you to get drunk and should be guilty of the same crime as you, so I don't blame you. But, does Liu Taishi still remember the bet with me yesterday?" He was full of confidence, as if look

Looking at Liu Qiuyu like a prey.

He nodded hastily, "I'm going to make a painting for His Majesty, please Your Majesty..."

"That's not what I said." Pei Shengyu propped his chin with a wicked smile.He had obtained the first bet from the drunk Liu Qiuyu last night, and now it was the second bet.

"Then... I don't know what your Majesty is referring to?" Liu Qiuyu couldn't help wondering, yesterday he bet with him on who would marry the prime minister and the general, and he lost willingly. If it wasn't for this, I don't know what this person was talking about

youngest.

"Did you forget? During the wedding banquet, Liu Aiqing and I made a bet with a word of truth. I bet that my two lovers entered the bridal chamber. Who will be on top and who will be on the bottom?

Qing, you are betting on the general, so don't play tricks on Aiqing! "

These words stunned Liu Qiuyu for an instant.When did I make such an impolite bet with this lawless king?

He turned his head to think for a moment, but found that there seemed to be some vague impressions in his memory.The other party said that he wanted to gamble like this, but he didn't agree, so he was fined to drink...

Did he say something nonsense after that? !

"Judging by Aiqing's expression, it seems that you don't believe what I say?" Pei Shengyu guessed what he was thinking when he saw his eyes rolling, and immediately curled his lips, "Then you can ask Eunuch Liu,

Eunuch Liu heard it clearly, so I will let him in—"

"Ah, no, no need! Wei Chenxin!" Seeing that he really wanted to invite a third person into the house, Liu Qiuyu hurriedly nodded in agreement.If you let Eunuch Liu testify that there is such a thing, your thin skin will be completely destroyed.

I can't stand it anymore.

"Well, Aiqing, unfortunately, you lost. I have already asked the prime minister this morning, and I won the bet last night!" Pei Shengyu had a bright smile on his face, and he was even more grateful for Luo Fengyang's help

Do yourself a huge favor.

"What? How is it possible?!" Now Liu Qiuyu couldn't care less about being impolite, her eyes widened in surprise, and she questioned in disbelief.How could it be possible for General Gong to be so obediently suppressed by Master Luo?

go to bed?How could two men do such a rebellious and unnatural thing?Are they both crazy? !

"Believe it or not, you can go to the Prime Minister to confirm it, but, Ai Qing, please don't forget our bet, the truth that I'm waiting for you in the palace... Qiu Yu, have you fallen in love with me?

'

The joking expression faded away, and Pei Shengyu asked seriously.In fact, he wanted to ask this question a long time ago, but he held back because he worried that the other party was too particular about the etiquette of monarchs and ministers.

He doesn't want to force him, and he can't let the other party ignore him, so no matter what he feels, he requires himself to get a real answer from the other party before he can count.If they really love each other, he

He will definitely fulfill his promise and marry him into the palace, but if the other party still has scruples, he knows that even if he is forced into the palace, he will not be happy.

Liu Qiuyu was slightly taken aback, bit her lower lip, did not answer, just said suddenly: "Your Majesty, last night... I dreamed about the past."

"Oh?" He rolled his eyes, "I don't know what Aiqing dreamed about?"

"In the beginning, His Majesty was not like now, always coldly rejecting everyone..." The more he compared, the more he couldn't figure out when this person started to change, and he became so selfish.

Of course, I didn't even notice it myself.

"Hehe, then do you like me the way I used to be, or the way I am now?"

"..." Liu Qiuyu didn't answer, and after a moment of silence, she said goodbye and left.

He likes this word, but he can't say it, because this word may no longer be just the meaning that the other party said, so he chooses not to say it.

Seeing the man retreat to the unfamiliar distance, Pei Shengyu could no longer maintain his smile, and slumped on the chair in frustration.

Have you changed a lot?Indeed, from a child who didn't trust anyone at the beginning to becoming the king of a country now, from the indifferent personality in the past to the unruly behavior now, it has indeed changed

Quite a lot.

But all the changes started when the guy named Liu Qiuyu suddenly appeared in front of him and asked the phrase "Why are you unhappy?" without concealment.

At that time, he really couldn't be happy, everyone regarded himself as a different kind, even his father rolled his eyes at him.In order to survive, he had to pretend he didn't know anything to please his father and his father.

brother.

At that time, every day was so depressing that he couldn't breathe.

Until the kid asked, at that moment, he felt relieved, but also panicked, because someone could see through the dissatisfaction hidden in his heart.

So for a long time he was running away, running away from Liu Qiuyu, afraid that he would see more, that he was the person sent by his father and brother to monitor him, until the other party ran into the back garden to find him.

In the garden, he suddenly realized that he actually longed to be valued by others, so he had been secretly observing Liu Qiuyu's every move.

After seeing the man unconscious after being bitten by a poisonous snake, he was really frightened for several days, afraid that he would face loss again just after he understood something.

"Qiu Yu..." Holding his forehead, he murmured that person's name, falling into memories, remembering that person's pale face, and his own anxiety and uneasiness.

Perhaps, from the moment he saw Liu Qiuyu for the first time, a person who had nothing to do with him suddenly broke into his heart, and that person has remained in his heart until now, and can never be erased.

◇

After Liu Qiuyu left the palace, it didn't take long for him to appear at the gate of the General's Mansion. Although he knew in his heart that he was just doing something superfluous, it was still hard for him to imagine how the weak prime minister, who had no power to restrain a chicken, could be so

How to do... such a difficult thing.

It's just that when he arrived at the General's Mansion, he saw a dazzling dark red strip on the ground that divided the mansion into two. He was so frightened that he thought that a murder had occurred. The housekeeper explained that it was the boundary between the Prime Minister's Mansion and the General's Mansion drawn by the General.

line, and nodded incomprehensibly.

The servants politely led him to the room on the right, and entered Luo Fengyang's room. At this moment, Luo Fengyang was sitting in front of the desk, with black hair loose and the neckline loose, very casual.

Seeing him coming in, Luo Fengyang slightly raised his head and smiled, "What kind of wind brought Mr. Liu here today? Doesn't Mr. Liu just like to stay in the library, or..."

Liu Qiuyu blushed immediately, knowing what he wanted to say.On weekdays, I either stay in the pile of books, or accompany the king. My life is like a straight line, so single.

"I...I heard that Lord Luo and Lord Gong...did that...that kind of... yesterday... night..." Liu Qiuyu, who had no choice but to ask the question, was blushing with embarrassment. constantly in

I scolded myself for being rude.

"Master Liu, this matter cannot be publicized casually, otherwise..." Luo Fengyang also blushed, reminding him in a low voice.

"No... I just want to ask, General Gong's martial arts are world-class, but Master Luo is just a civil servant, how did General Gong... agree to... that matter..." The more he asked, the softer his voice, the blush had already crawled to his cheeks

on the ears.

Seeing that his face was flushed, Luo Fengyang guessed in his heart why he came, and suddenly showed a sly smile, "Master Liu, I haven't told anyone the secret, but since it's Master Liu, I

Let me teach you the secret..."

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and murmured a few words in Liu Qiuyu's ear. Liu Qiuyu's eyes widened suddenly, and he was extremely astonished. He never thought that this person would use such an evil trick.

Unwilling?

"I'll give you the things. As for whether you want to use it or not, it's up to Mr. Liu to decide." Luo Fengyang handed over a small delicate bottle, and smiled while covering his lips.

Knowing that the other party was laughing at her, Liu Qiuyu blushed a little more, took it in a hurry, and fled quickly, bumping into Gong Moyao who was oncoming in a hurry.

"Ah... I have seen General Gong!" When Bang Qiuyu thought that the usually majestic general would let Luo Fengyang be crushed under him, he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so he could only run away in a panic. go, mess with

Gong Moyao felt very strange.

In the palace, Pei Shengyu had been waiting for a long time. When Liu Qiuyu opened the door and walked into the imperial study, he saw a smirk on his face.

He paused for a while, pursed his lips, and finally fixed himself in front of Pei Shengyu and saluted him.

"How is it, Liu Aiqing?" Pei Shengyu smiled happily.

Liu Qiuyu glanced at it and sighed, "Your Majesty, why bother to ask?"

"Then, I won this game. Aiqing must answer my question honestly." Standing up, he walked to his side and gently lifted Liu Qiuyu's chin, "I ask you, do you like me?" ?”

Liu Qiuyu tilted her head habitually, avoiding the overly hot eyes, just about to speak to deal with it, but was caught a little closer.

Those faint eyes seemed to swallow everything, Pei Shengyu added in a low voice: "The truth! Don't be perfunctory, I like you, understand?"

With such a clear question, all the prevarication words that Liu Qiuyu had originally planned were stuffed in his throat.

I just know whether I like it or not, whether my feelings for the king in front of me are a relationship between a monarch and a minister or a friendship, or has changed its nature, so what?Facts can't be changed, he's king

, it is impossible to belong to him alone, and such a feeling, even if he gets it, he will not be satisfied.

So after he paused, he still answered with pre-thought-out words.

"Why does your majesty always make such jokes with your majesty? Knowing that your majesty is the Ninth Five-Year King, the most important thing for your majesty now is to marry the concubine and spread her branches and leaves. The majesty only hopes that your majesty can find the one you like.

Girl, in the future, I, Dongli, will be able to prosper forever—”

"You just have to say whether you like me or not!" Pei Shengyu roared impatiently.At this time, what he wanted to hear was not his loyalty, but his truest feelings for himself.

Liu Qiuyu looked at him for a while, lowered his head, and said quietly: "I only have the utmost respect for Your Majesty, and have no personal feelings—"

"You're lying!" Disappointment filled his chest immediately, Pei Shengyu yelled loudly, and the anger in his chest almost destroyed his reason, "You are talking nonsense! You are deceiving the emperor!"

"I don't dare, what I said is true, please show me your Majesty." He knelt down, clenched his hands tightly, and tugged at his clothes.

"Autumn Yu, Qiu Yu! I know you better than I know myself. I understand what is going on in your heart, but do you have to use those etiquette and ethics to block us? You just have to say,

You just need to tell me that you like me, and then I can abolish all etiquette and laws for you, make you queen, and tell the world! ’ He had a heartbroken look on his face, and now he hated raising this man so stupidly.

Liu's predecessors.

"Your Majesty, please don't do it! If you violate the family rules, the world will be in chaos and your Majesty's reputation will be damaged!" Liu Qiuyu was shocked.

I really can't bear the serious crime of confusing the king. If he really did such a ridiculous thing, not only would he not be able to face the Queen Mother and the royal family when he was alive, but he would also have no face to face the late emperor and Liu when he died.

The ancestors of the family.

"I'm not afraid that people in the world will laugh at me, I can tell them openly that I like you!" He grabbed the arm of the person in front of him, pulled him up from the ground, and hugged his thin body fiercely.

Liu Qiuyu trembled slightly, but felt a little warm in her heart.This was the first time that this person had confided in him.

It turns out that there is no need to test at all. This person's heart is the same as his own, and he has the other party...

So worth it.

Pei Shengyu once said that both of them have "Yu (Rain)" in their names, so they are destined by heaven. God knows how much he wants to confess everything like this person and hug each other tightly, but he

Their identities are also doomed, everything is predestined...

"Your Majesty, please respect yourself." Taking another sniff of his breath quietly, Liu Qiuyu twisted her body and slipped out of that warm embrace.

It is enough to know that he has himself in his heart, and he cannot bring him more blame. This is the only thing I can do for him, for this king.

"Qiu Yu, don't think so much anymore, accept me, okay? Don't think about those etiquette...you just need to think about me!" Pei Shengyu was moved, and he stretched out his hand and hugged him back tightly.

Hold back, greedily inhaling the fragrance of his body.

There was a numbness on the neck due to the other party's breath, Liu Qiuyu felt uncomfortable all over, and could only push the person in front of him harder, "No, Your Majesty, please let go of this humble minister..."

"I have been waiting for a long time, why have you been refusing to face your truest feelings? If you continue to wait like this, I am really afraid that I will not be able to help but hurt you..." Regardless of his refusal, Pei Shengyu

Dazedly kissing the face of the person in front of him, he reached out and pulled the other person's belt, and poked into his clothes.

Liu Qiuyu froze in astonishment, and immediately grabbed the big hand, "What are you going to do, Your Majesty!?"

Pei Shengyu, whose self-control had already collapsed, panted slightly, his face flushed, and he replied hoarsely: "Of course I want you to know how much I want you..."

While speaking, he quickly pushed Liu Qiuyu to the ground, and tore off his clothes in one fell swoop, revealing the snow-white body that made him yearn for days and nights.

"Autumn Rain..." He couldn't help biting the smooth skin, imprinting his own marks inch by inch.

Enduring the numb and painful stimulation, Liu Qiuyu struggled, "Your Majesty, let go..."

"I really can't help it! Qiu Yu, I've been waiting for too long, why can't you understand my painstaking efforts?"

The hoarse voice shook Liu Qiuyu's eardrums, almost softening him, but Liu Qiuyu insisted on biting her lower lip to stay awake, not wanting to sink into the tenderness that would destroy each other.

He couldn't waste this person's life and the innocent reputation that the Liu family had built up for generations for the sake of having fun for a while!

"Your Majesty...don't..." Shaking his head, he finally couldn't help crying after being constantly tormented by reason and emotion, "Don't force me...please...don't do this, Brother Yu..."

With a word of brother Yu, Pei Shengyu instantly stopped sucking kisses on the other person, took a deep breath, and when he raised his head, he saw the two tear stains on Liu Qiuyu's face.

As soon as his heart ached, he let go of him who was trembling in a daze, and reached out to wipe away his tears. Even though the desire for the other party was still so strong that it made him ache all over, he still backed away.

For him, I still can't force it, because I'm not as brave as Luo Fengyang, and I can bear the consequences of failure.

"You really...don't like me?" He asked in a low voice.

Liu Qiuyu just covered her face, not daring to look at him again.

Pei Shengyu smiled wryly, "I will never force you, I'm going to be rude today, but I really want to hear your truth..."

The big hand caressed Liu Qiuyu's loose long hair, but he kept silent all the time, with his lips tightly closed without saying a word.

He was afraid that if he opened his mouth, he would not be able to help but say things that he would never be able to say...

"How about, let's start a third game? Qiu Yu, this is the last one. If I lose, I will give up on you and never pester you again. How about it?" Pulling his hand away, I saw him crying red

Pei Shengyu couldn't help but feel distressed for his blurred eyes.

This fool, why should you wrong yourself so much?He smiled bitterly, and tightly held the hand that was too thin for a man.

This is his last game, and he is betting on his own sincerity...

"The third bet..." Taking a deep breath, Pei Shengyu dressed his sweetheart, while maintaining his smile with difficulty, "I just bet that you will tell the truth one day, how about it?"

"Weichen...already..." Liu Qiuyu sobbed softly, sat up trembling, even though she put on clothes, her body still felt cold.

"I bet that within three months, you will definitely say what I want to hear. By then, I will not give you another chance to escape. But if you still insist after three months, then even if I lose, from now on

, I... only treat you as a courtier. He spoke slowly, the last few words almost slipping through his teeth.

The courtier... Liu Qiuyu kowtowed silently, feeling a sharp pain in her heart.

But isn't the status of a courtier the only one he has?Originally, my destiny shouldn't have been set on a wrong path, and I had so many entanglements with this person... But, my heart really hurts.

Watching him leave, Pei Shengyu took a deep breath, his eyes were slightly red.

He always let him go, but this time, he really had to make a decision whether he should go or keep him.

In this final round of betting, the outcome was not as easy to grasp as the previous two rounds. Even he, who had counted everything, felt a little timid.

If he loses, he will lose all of himself. At that time, will he still be as confident as he is now?

Pei Shengyu couldn't predict it, but he knew that some things would never be possible if he didn't try.

Liu Qiuyu clutched her chest and exited the imperial study room. Out of the corner of her eye, she kept looking at the figure in the imperial study room. Seeing the sad expression of that person, her heart felt almost suffocating pain.

He took out the bottle of medicine given by Luo Fengyang from his sleeve, he gritted his teeth, wishing he could smash the bottle of medicine.

Originally, he thought that with this method, he might be able to see whether the other party really liked him. If he succeeded, he would be in love with him, but if he failed, he would go his own way, and even be friends.

As a result, that person didn't need to be tested at all, and even if his sincerity was found out, so what?Can I have any thoughts about him?

He raised his hand, in the end he didn't really smash the medicine bottle, even he himself didn't know what he was hesitating about, he just took the medicine bottle to the abandoned back garden.

It has long been repaired by Pei Shengyu into a real garden, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant everywhere, and there is no sign of the desolation of the past.

Unstoppable tears ran down his face, but he didn't care, he just sobbed and used his hands to dig up the soil, buried the medicine bottle in the soil, and buried the distracting thoughts he shouldn't have.
