Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Wuxin has always been hiding a lot of things in his heart, but Jiang Xinxin doesn't find it strange. After all, Master Wangyou has told her about Wuxin's complicated life experience.

Jiang Xinxin felt a little emotional after listening to it, but she felt that the most innocent people in the whole story, apart from the brothers Wuxin and Xiao Yu, were the ordinary people who died during the resistance between the two sides.

After all, in addition to Ye Dingzhi's rage in wanting to take back his wife who was taken as a concubine by the Emperor of Beili, the top leaders of Tianwaitian must also have selfish ambitions to seize the throne of Beili. It is even very likely that the separation of Ye Dingzhi and his wife was largely due to more sinister calculations.

But Jiang Xinxin told Master Wangyou at that time that the death of Wuxin's father Ye Dingzhi was already doomed, because he should have finally realized how much turmoil and casualties his selfishness had caused to the people of the world, so he not only died because of the siege and defeat, but also wanted to use his life to apologize to the dead and injured.

It is even possible that he was not defeated, but after waking up, he found that he had no better way to clean up the mess.

As for Empress Xuan, who is still known as the "most beautiful woman in the world" in the palace, Jiang Xinxin doesn't think there is anything wrong with her. Even though her behavior would be considered morally flawed in later generations, it was merely a moral issue caused by her personality.

Wu Xin was bewildered as he watched Jiang Xin Xin once again cast a loving? Pity? Pathetic? look at him. He just sighed inwardly that she had started again, turned around and flew down.

Seeing that Jiang Xinxin had no intention of going down, Lei Wujie stood up and squatted down again, hiding on the roof and looking down like Xiao Se.

"Xiao Se, what do you think Wu Xin is doing?"

At this time, Xiao Se saw that the monk who had been drinking before actually had excellent sword skills, and he couldn't help but guess that he might be Wang Rensun, the Sky-Breaking Sword Master who betrayed Ye Dingzhi twelve years ago. It was just that after that incident twelve years ago, Wang Rensun disappeared. He didn't expect that he would become a drinking monk in this Dafanyin Temple.

Looking at Lei Wujie who was unaware of anything, Xiao Se just felt a little tired.

However, before Wuxin could do anything to Wang Rensun, a group of very particular people came in from outside.

Although Xiao Se didn't see the people in the sedan chair, he could tell that the guards were of extraordinary birth. When he considered the patterns and colors decorated on the sedan chair, he suddenly had a headache.

Before he could continue to guess, Wuxin below had already started fighting with Fengxue Sword Shen Jingzhou in the sedan chair, who was also Eunuch Jinxian, one of the five major eunuchs in Tianqi City.

Eunuch Jinxian is not only good-looking and has a good temperament, but also has very good martial arts skills. In particular, his sword skills were learned from the uninhabited snow-capped mountains. Wherever his internal energy passes, there is a world of ice and snow, which is very beautiful.

Of course, what was even more beautiful was Wuxin's celestial dance. Even Lei Wujie couldn't help but comment, "I didn't expect Wuxin could do this. Look at those dancing celestial beings, they are so beautiful."

Xiao Se was speechless, "You can speak louder."

Jiang Xinxin carefully watched the eunuch Jinxian's every move. As long as he wanted to do something to Wuxin, she would definitely help Wuxin block it.

Unexpectedly, Lei Wujie couldn't wait any longer and rushed down from the roof. As a result, he accidentally lost his balance and almost fell on his face. Even Wuxin laughed in his heart for a long time.

By doing so, Eunuch Jinxian noticed the people on the roof, and when he saw Xiao Se, he gave up chasing Wu Xin. Xiao Se saw that he was exposed, so he could only pull Jiang Xinxin down with him and stand beside Wu Xin to show his support for Wu Xin.

Seeing this, Eunuch Jinxian recited a poem and left, and Wuxin's crisis was temporarily resolved.

After Eunuch Jinxian left, Wuxin used Wang Rensun's life to exchange for a grand ritual for Master Wangyou in the Dafanyin Temple. Wang Rensun agreed without waiting for others to speak.

Jiang Xinxin had a guess about Xiao Se's identity. After coming down the mountain, she found a time when they were alone and asked, "That eunuch Jinxian recited two lines of poetry to you about parents worrying about their children traveling far away. Could you be the Prince of Yong'an who wanted to overturn the case of Prince of Langya and angered Emperor Mingde, so he was demoted to Qingzhou and disappeared along the way?"

Xiao Se avoided Jiang Xinxin's gaze and said, "I am just a poor innkeeper. How can I compare with Prince Yong'an?"

Jiang Xinxin found it boring, but she didn't ask any further questions. Anyway, she just wanted to verify her guess.

But since she was talking about the princes, she pointed out some things that she thought were inappropriate: "Normally, names are mostly single-character, and only courtesy names and pseudonyms are double-character. Even the princes' titles are single-character. But the Sixth Prince, who is said to have been favored since childhood, has a double-character name and pseudonym. I really don't know whether Emperor Mingde really loves his sixth son or is simply setting a target among the princes."

Xiao Se had never thought about this, or rather, he had never heard of such a statement before.

"Why do you think so? In other words, why do you think that Emperor Mingde's favor for Prince Yong'an is to set up a target among the princes?"

This time it was Jiang Xinxin's turn to be surprised. She didn't expect that the thoughtful Xiao Se could be so "naive" about some things.

Jiang Xinxin was busy boiling water while putting some seasonings that Wuxin would also eat into it. Looking at the beautiful scenery of the setting sun, Jiang Xinxin finally felt less depressed. It was Wuxin's fault for not going to the inn in the town and insisting on sleeping in the open air at the foot of the mountain.

After a while, Wuxin and Lei Wujie had already bought food and came back. Jiang Xinxin finally spoke up, "For an emperor who holds great power, the whole world is his enemy."

"His ministers always want to gain more power and benefits from him. Some military commanders even have their own troops. If there is a chance, they might even want to turn the tables and become emperor themselves."

"As for his concubines, few of them were truly in love with him. Most of them wanted to gain more benefits for their families through nepotism. In particular, they hoped that the sons they gave birth to would become the crown prince or even the next emperor."

"His sons are a greater threat to him, because the moment he becomes emperor, he will inevitably have to establish a crown prince. It is true that the crown prince can sometimes help him deal with state affairs, but in essence, it is dividing his power."

Jiang Xinxin looked at Xiao Se, "What do you think a man like Emperor Mingde would do after he realizes these things?"

Xiao Se was already lost in thought. Wu Xin looked at him with some concern. Lei Wu Jie, the naive man, asked Jiang Xinxin, "Miss Jiang, is it so hard to be an emperor? Don't you even have someone you can talk to with confidence?"
