emperor

Back in the capital, the emperor slowly got out of the carriage.

There was no guard of honor, no greeting, and no sound.

The capital city is majestic, prosperous as before, the emperor's eyes fell on the gate, and there stood a smiling woman, thin and haggard, but like a sharp knife.

The emperor laughed, he walked all the way with a blank face, but now he suddenly laughed, walking faster and faster, he stood in front of the woman, his throat was astringent, and he called Huiyue.

Hui Yue bowed and saluted, smiling slightly, Your Majesty.

Neither the emperor nor Ruan Qing could protect her. She guarded the capital, wondering if she was afraid that what was waiting would be a lacquered coffin.

The emperor walked into the imperial city and into the cage carefully woven by the eldest prince. He wanted to pretend not to know, to be cowardly, to be aware of everything, and to be so scared that he didn't know what to do, and shivered.

The Qionghua Banquet was set up by the eldest prince for him. He wanted to see what the expelled emperor had become.

The emperor led the queen into the Qionghua Banquet step by step. He walked hesitantly and respectfully, fearing and loathing the aloof eldest prince.

Like a villain who has been suppressed for a long time and can only slander in secret.

The sky was high and the clouds were clear, and the feast was colorful, full of dignitaries pushing cups and changing cups, the emperor just shrank in his seat, his expression numb.

The eldest prince threw away the wine cup and slapped his hands three times.

As the voice faded, he pointed to the emperor and said, "I heard that there is a carol in the Northland about the acacia tree and the acacia fruit. I wonder if your majesty has heard it before."

The emperor nodded, and the eldest prince smiled and said, "Can your Majesty sing a song, so that I can feast my ears."

Unable to hesitate, the emperor picked up the chopsticks, tapped the jade cup, and sang in a low voice.

The eldest prince laughed, and the courtiers in the hall were also laughing. The eldest prince said to the official historian: "Write it down, write it down for me, word by word, no mistakes are allowed."

"Your Majesty, I can't hear you clearly." He was dark and arrogant.

The speed of the emperor's beating of the lamp was accelerated, he raised his voice and sang, sang the lingering love, and sang the straightforward and hot love. The eldest prince dragged a little flute player to play with the emperor.

The Lingguan flusteredly held up the flute and played it following the emperor's voice. He didn't play well, but the eldest prince didn't care, he still enjoyed it with great interest.

Qionghua banquet, the eldest prince is confident that he can handle the emperor well.

He sent the emperor back to the county palace and praised him for singing well. The emperor hung his head and dared not speak.

When it was late at night, Huiyue woke up, and opened the emperor's tightly clenched fingers one by one: "Your Majesty, you have to endure."

The emperor exhaled, and replied in a low voice: "I can bear it."

The emperor endured it, he endured it for a month, two months, the eldest prince sent someone to send him back to Mobei, the emperor knew that something happened in Mobei, the eldest prince couldn't help but push him out to die.

He was worried all the way.

The emperor guessed right, something happened in Mobei, something big happened, and the confidants sent by the eldest prince stirred up the miasma in Beirong Pass.

This idiot is so arrogant and unscrupulous, he does whatever he wants, Ruan Qing endures, listens to his high-spirited, bullshit commands, watches him switch border guards blindly, and regards human life as a trifle.

These things can still be remedied, but this person went out for hunting, captured a homeless girl, raped/violated her with his men, and abandoned her body in the wilderness.

That woman is the next saint of the vagrants. She wears a white prairie flower. He regarded the flower as a trophy, and it was too late when Ruan Qing recognized it.

The vagrant soldiers pressed the border, and that idiot hid in Pingxiang County.

The plot that the emperor and Ruan Qing had worked so hard to set up was in vain, they could only hastily close the net and face to face bloody battle with the vagrants.

The emperor's heart was filled with monstrous anger. He clearly understood that many people would die in this battle, and many people would die. Whether it was the army or the civilians, it was unavoidable.

A bloody battle, the emperor feels palpitations now thinking about it.

He was silent, his blinking was frozen, his heaving chest stopped, he held back, endured, and pressed something down, the emperor held the queen's hand and said: "Ruan Qing is gone, I almost lost you too .”

The Battle of Mobei was a tragic victory.

He lost his best friend and brother here, and it was also here that he got a chance to stand up and get the spear of revenge.

The queen didn't let the emperor think about it anymore, she supported the emperor and patted his back: "Your Majesty is too tired, please use some porridge, and my concubine will play chess with you."

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and slowly pulled out of that dark emotion, shook his head and said: "Huiyue will only cheat when playing chess, and I won't play with you."

The queen raised her eyebrows upside down: "Can't you go down?"

Emperor: "Down, down."

On the morning of the next day, the emperor asked the prince on the way to the court if he had any doubts about all the affairs in the court.

The prince has been diligent since he was a child, read history books thoroughly, and the etiquette classics are well-documented. The emperor even let him dabble in court rules early, but he is too pure, kind-hearted, and believes in the way of a benevolent emperor.

Wen Yan said: "I feel that those ministers yesterday were always respectful to my ministers, singing praises and flattering me in words, but they always refused to tell the truth."

The prince is just pure, not stupid. The emperor thought for a while, looked at the prince and replied: "That depends on what kind of prince you want to be, and what kind of emperor you want to be in the future. Now the world is peaceful, and what I leave you is A secure foundation."

The emperor didn't say much, but the prince's eyes lit up when he listened. He has handsome eyebrows, a white and soft face, very similar to the emperor.

But the emperor is like a resting beast, and the prince is just a young cub under the beast's knees, who has the instinct to be fierce, but his methods are still immature.

The emperor patted the prince on the head: "If you have time, visit the queen more, your sister is useless, don't learn from her."

The prince touched his head, bowed his head and said yes.

After going to court, the ministers started to do things after singing their praises step by step.

Since the emperor was in power, he built open channels in the south and official roads in the north.

It took seven or eight years to build, and it was only completed four years ago. The national treasury is more abundant, and now a river connecting the north and the south has to be built. The officials in charge of this area have been busy like dogs.

But compared to doing nothing, and then being chopped up by the emperor and fed to the dogs, everyone still likes to be busy.

The crown prince stood aside, watching with interest the officials who spoke to him with a hidden head and tail, speaking plainly and straightforwardly to the emperor, fearing that his expression would not be concise, and trembling.

So far the emperor has built up his prestige.

The prince said this to the emperor after the next court, but the emperor told the prince: "The reason why the courtiers are so frank with me is because they have figured out my temper. In the final analysis, it is for their own glory and title, and there is a point in that frankness." Limited."

The emperor took a sip of tea: "Think about it slowly, now follow me to the Hall of Mental Cultivation."
