Tento

Just after the third watch, the majestic and majestic imperial city was crowded with people. At this moment, there were still two hours before the emperor's morning court, but the civil and military officials did not go to the court hall to welcome the emperor as usual.

In the Chaoyang Palace, the largest palace in the imperial city, civil and military officials in neat official robes of various colors stood in their positions with solemn expressions according to their ranks.The dignified atmosphere made the entire hall appear extremely silent, and the only sound that could be heard here was the drizzle falling from the sky outside the hall to the ground.

The torches inside and outside the imperial city were soaked with high-quality butter, and they did not show signs of extinguishing in the dense rain. Together with the many heroic warriors guarding in front of the palace, they stood proudly in the continuous rain, adding a little bit to the gloomy sky and the main hall. Warmth and business.

In the side halls outside Chaoyang Hall, there were people dressed in all kinds of strange costumes. They were envoys who came to the imperial city from different places.These people were far away from the main hall, and looked as respectful as the officials in the Chaoyang Hall, but after waiting for a long time, they felt bored, so they approached the people on the left and right, lowered their voices, and began to chat in a low voice.

"Fusang envoy, is this your first time in Tiandu?" A man with a beautiful beard and blue eyes first asked a man in strange clothes beside him.

"Yes. Today, the Tiandu dynasty's national power is growing stronger and its reputation spread far and wide. My lord ordered me to send a letter of credence to them to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the kingdom, and formally establish diplomatic relations with them. Unexpectedly, the person who interviewed us was not from Tiandu. The king is their trustworthy king.

If it is King Xin, then you have met the right person.Tiandu only confers one-word titles to the royal family's direct relatives, while other county kings and vassal kings are given two-character titles.Name Youchen, the king of Xinxin, was the most important minister of the former king of Tiandu. He shouldered the heavy responsibility of the former king's deathbed entrustment, and was named a one-word king with a bloodline other than the royal family.

I also heard that this person has been in charge of the government for five years, and managed the capital of heaven very well, so that the common people only know that heaven has faith in the king's name and worry about dust, but they don't know the young king Luan Tiance. "Another foreign envoy couldn't help joining the conversation.

"I heard that the famous Youchen's grandfather was a hero who founded Tiandu, and his father was the master of Tiandu's second generation king. He trained a large number of students. Today, one of the three officials in the capital is from a famous family. They control Tiandu. Half the force."

"As for that Youchen, he won the number one scholar in civil and military affairs at the age of 16, and it was a good story at the time. The former king of Tiandu trusted him very much, and within two years he was promoted to prime minister and conferred the title of king."

"This person is listed above the three lords and five ministers at a young age, and now he is a lonely and important minister. He has the right to see the king without jumping up, to handle the government affairs on behalf of the king, and even to stay overnight in the palace. In case of crisis, he can directly call half of the country's troops. Lots of privileges."

"I heard that Tiandu is different from other places in the Central Plains. Women have always been forbidden to participate in politics. I thought their queen mother would help the young emperor to apply for politics, but now it seems that the real power of Tiandu is in Ming Youchen's hands."

In order to facilitate communication, these envoys from all sides talked softly in the language of Tiandu. It can be seen that their countries have put in a lot of painstaking efforts to get close to this new and powerful country. language.

When it comes to the taboos of the Tiandu Palace and the government, the people around feel that it is inappropriate, so they stop talking about it.

At this moment, the servant on duty at night beat the fourth watch drum, and he tremblingly walked to the center of the hall, and said on the ground, "I want to report to Xiangguo, the fourth watch has passed, and the sky is still raining; Your Highness, may I ask you to postpone the sacrificial ceremony? "

"The time for expressing the spirit has been set, how can it be changed at will? Today is the 30th anniversary of my Tiandu. God sent down nectar to wash away the dust. This is a sign of auspiciousness, and it cannot be changed without authorization."

The wide dragon chair set in the middle of the high platform of Chaoyang Hall was empty, and a voice sounded from the gorgeous brocade seat on the left, floating down the ten steps of white jade steps, passing through the main hall and seeping out from the rain curtain, and when it reached the side hall, it was already Inaudible.

The emissary who knew he had slipped his tongue was moved when he heard these words.He was the latest envoy to arrive, and had not had the chance to meet Ming Youchen yet, but at this moment he felt that the voice of the minister of the Heavenly Capital was also pleasant.

While thinking, Ming Youchen from the high platform of Chaoyang Hall spoke again.

"You send a message to the kings, so that they don't have to worry. Today is an important moment in my court, and God will have mercy. In my opinion, the red sun will rise from the clouds after the fifth watch. If the fog clears and the rain gathers at that time, the emperor still has not returned. , they should be worried and worried for the emperor."

As soon as these words came out, there was silence inside and outside Chaoyang Hall, everyone could only hear the sound of water splashing, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier.In such a situation, can the rain clear and the sun rise before the fifth watch?The envoys in the side hall were slightly worried, but then they thought that this Youchen might be good at astrology, so they stopped thinking about it.

At this moment, there was a slight "ding dong" sound from the gate of Chaoyang Hall, as if it was the subtle sound of a woman's accessories walking around.Everyone looked at the gate of the palace at the same time, but saw a lady in a gorgeous palace dress standing there, looking out of the palace with a worried face.

Seeing this, the envoy who had made a mistake before asked the people next to him in a low voice: "Is that the queen mother of Tiandu? I didn't expect her to be so young and beautiful. Why is that Youchen ranked above the three princes, but the courtiers of Tiandu Call him Xiangguo?"

"The emperor's mother gave birth to him when he was 15 years old. It's not surprising that the queen mother is young; even the name Youchen is only four years older than the emperor. As for the name, I heard that he is called the prince who doesn't like you. That's why everyone in Tiandu respectfully honors him with the position of trusting the king and assisting the government."

"How many years will it take for the emperor who doesn't know the capital to take charge of the government?"

"One more year, on the emperor's 20th birthday, Ming Youchen should return to the monarch. However, the young emperor must sit firmly in the dragon chair during this period, otherwise... cough cough."

At this point, everyone already understands in their hearts, and there is no need to say the following words.

"Please don't be annoyed, Xiangguo. The emperor is usually a bit stubborn, but he knows the seriousness. He hurried out of the palace with his guards last night, saying that he must complete a major event that will benefit the country, the people, and the society before the sacrificial ceremony. There is still some time left for the grand ceremony, and the emperor will return in time."

The queen mother looked out frequently, her expression a little nervous.About half an hour later, she turned her head and said softly in the direction of the high platform, her words were cautious and respectful, even her slender back seemed to be slightly bent.

"The emperor usually gathers people to hunt, play with dogs and walk horses, and do whatever he likes, but what day is it today? He doesn't know? Now envoys from all over the world have come to celebrate, but as the king of a country, he has not arrived yet. Hmm . I don’t think he may take the throne seriously.”

When the officials in the palace heard Ming Youchen's sharp words, they lowered their heads even lower, and the faces of the princes standing in front of the officials also changed slightly.The empress dowager was at a loss for words, knowing she was wrong, she did not dare to excuse the young emperor for the time being.

"I invite the envoys from all parties to enter the palace to observe the ceremony."

Ming Youchen spoke slowly at this time, the master of ceremonies passed on the voice, and the envoys who were already curious about the sacrifice ceremony in Tiandu immediately got up.When they raised their heads, they realized that the sky had cleared up, and the rain curtain that had covered the ground had disappeared at some point. Thinking of what Ming Youchen had said with certainty that the weather would be fine, everyone couldn't stop their hearts from shuddering.

"Xiangguo, please wait a little longer. The five o'clock has not yet arrived. Maybe the emperor has encountered extremely difficult things, which hindered his return." The empress dowager's words were full of embarrassment and humbleness, but she still pleaded for her child again .

"The sacrificial ceremony is a grand ceremony to thank God for blessing me to go to Wan'an. The emperor should know the importance of things. Queen Mother, what are you talking about now, what is more important than him personally presiding over the sacrifice? Is he also like the King of Chu? Are you charged with the heavy responsibility of strictly guarding the border, or are you unable to attend because of a sudden illness like the frail King Yan?"

An envoy named Youchen who had never met before just heard this, he slightly raised his head to look towards the high platform of Chaoyang Hall, and quickly lowered his head again.

Ming Youchen's voice is as elegant and gentle as his appearance, without domineering or hostile, but with a majesty and chill that cannot be described in words, people hear his voice and see him After becoming a human being, I can't help but feel awe of bowing my head.

"The emperor usually likes to bring his bodyguards and leave the palace in disguise. This is not good in the first place, but because I see that he is young and has a young heart, it is fine to send someone to teach him. But the emperor is nineteen now. He will be in charge of the government next year but still gossip like this, treating state affairs as a trifle. In my opinion, he doesn't have to wait another year.

All the ministers took a breath when they heard the words, they felt the danger from Ming Youchen's words.Unexpectedly, on the 30th anniversary of the founding of Tiandu and the sacrificial ceremony every six years, Ming Youchen would dare to move the idea of ​​deposing the emperor in front of courtiers and envoys from all parties, and he seemed to have been prepared for a long time?

The Empress Dowager's face was pale, and her body trembled slightly. Facing the sudden change and the imminent crisis, she was helpless and turned her head to look at several respected veterans.She doesn't expect these people who have always been critical of Ming Youchen to openly oppose Xiangguo's decision, but she still hopes that they can intercede for the emperor.

However, the Queen Mother was disappointed, and all the veterans who met her gaze shook their heads.After all, the sacrificial ceremony is the most important event in Tiandu, and the emperor didn't show up. This can be regarded as a serious crime of dereliction of duty by the head of a country.

The officials in the Chaoyang Palace saw that the very few old officials who were at odds with Ming Youchen did not dare to speak rashly at this time, and they felt even more confused. When their eyes wandered around, they suddenly thought of the emperor who had not shown up for a long time, and they all endured it. I can't help guessing, could it be that Xiangguo, who has so much power in the world, is unwilling to return to work next year, and secretly sent someone to kill the young emperor?

"Xiangguo, please calm down. The emperor will never be so ignorant..."

The Empress Dowager looked terrified, dripping sweat on her forehead, although Ming Youchen was not as angry as she said, she was still in a hurry to explain, but unfortunately, in the middle of speaking, Ming Youchen's eyes had moved away from her face, and directly cast On the few princes in the royal family who had part of the same blood as the late emperor.

When these people made eye contact with him, including the few young princes left behind by the former emperor's younger brothers, their hearts couldn't help jumping wildly.They suddenly realized that as long as Ming Youchen's eyes finally fell on someone, then maybe the emperor who presided over the sacrifice during the grand ceremony would be that person.

Although the political power is still tightly held in the hands of Ming Youchen, the feeling of being the lord of the world is very different from being just a vassal in the fiefdom.

The atmosphere in the Chaoyang Palace became strangely tense. Although everyone felt that Ming Youchen could do whatever he wanted with the power in his hands, but he had the privileges granted by the late emperor and had half of his army in his hands, so they didn't dare to resist openly.

As long as Ming Youchen did not blatantly occupy the throne, even if he changed the position of emperor at this moment because of the serious crime of neglecting the ancestors' laws and regulations, losing morality and propriety, he could not be regarded as committing rebellion.

The kings and courtiers pondered silently with complicated emotions, and there was no change for the time being. Some people even thought that if Ming Youchen really planned to become a new king, how many soldiers would he arrange outside the Chaoyang Hall?

Just when the officials remained silent and the envoys of all parties suppressed their curiosity and watched the development of the situation quietly, the bell and drum sounded at the fifth watch, reminding the people in the hall that the sacrificial ceremony was about to begin.

Ming Youchen looked away from the emperor's relatives, and when the watch drum and the bell were over, he nodded slightly to a handsome servant standing behind him.The servant saluted Ming Youchen lightly, then bowed respectfully, and handed the brocade box in his hand to the person who signaled him to come forward.

The people in Chaoyang Hall guessed what was in the brocade box, but they didn't dare to make a sound, and cast their eyes on the servant as if they were frozen.

I saw him kneeling at Ming Youchen's feet, holding the brocade box above his head, followed by Ming Youchen slowly opening the brocade box, and took out a bright yellow scroll.

"Xiangguo, please hold your hand high, the emperor is still a child..."

Ming Youchen no longer glanced at the queen mother who rushed to the stage and begged him bitterly, his eyes now fell on the imperial edict in his hand.The Empress Dowager was so frightened that her face turned pale, her face was ashen, her lips were trembling, and she could no longer speak a word.

Just when Ming Youchen opened the scroll in half, and the royal clansmen and ministers who were thinking about each other were all sweating and bloody, a crisp sound of horseshoes suddenly sounded from the palace gate, and they rushed towards the Chaoyang Palace with thunderous momentum.

"The emperor is back!"

There was a deafening sound like a tidal wave inside and outside the hall, the gate officials and the servants reported to the hall one after another, the queen mother's pale face finally showed some blood, and she and everyone couldn't help but look outside the hall after being a little relieved.

But I saw a tall black horse with a person galloping towards the gate of the Chaoyang Palace. The horse's footsteps were extremely fast, and it stepped on the hard ground covered with rainwater in the palace, stirring up thousands of water splashes, which made the scene even more beautiful. One person and one horse seem to ride the wind and waves, rushing like lightning, extremely majestic.

After a while, the steed suddenly pulled back its four hooves, and stopped in front of Chaoyang Palace like a rock. Such superb riding skills made all the envoys applaud uncontrollably.

The knight lifted his legs and jumped off the horse neatly. He strode into the hall with his head held high and his chest held high. The well-tailored and luxurious hunting suit did not glance at the people with different expressions in the hall.

The young emperor didn't seem to notice the tense and strange atmosphere in Chaoyang Hall. He walked up to the high platform with a smile on his face, nodded slightly to Ming Youchen who slowly put the scroll back into the brocade box, and then came to his side, will still face The empress dowager with a restless expression helped her back to the seat on the right of the dragon chair.

"The emperor finally came back before the official ceremony, but your attire... Well, I don't know what is the big event that made the emperor leave the palace before such an important sacrifice, regardless of the emperor's honor and the expectations of hundreds of officials and people. return?"

Ming Youchen looked sideways and signaled the servant to take back the brocade box. He didn't show the monarch's face aggressively at all. People couldn't help but sweat for the young emperor who just came back at five o'clock.

"Please take a look, Xiangguo." Luan Tiance, the ruler of Tiandu, looked calm, as if he didn't realize what a terrible mistake it was for him to delay showing up.He spoke easily, and held out something in his hand, which was a mass of jet-black fur.

"Is this the skin of a black pig?" Ming Youchen felt a chill when Luan Tiance took out the thing, and when he saw the smooth fur in the hands of the young emperor, free from dust and rain, he remained indifferent Surprise finally appeared on his face.

When everyone in the Chaoyang Palace heard Mo Yan, they were all moved, with extremely shocked expressions on their faces.

"Xiangguo really has good eyesight. This Moxie is a rare beast that is rare in a hundred years. It is shaped like an adult macaque, but it is powerful. It can tear apart lions, tigers, bears and leopards with its bare hands, and feed on the flesh and internal organs of all animals. It haunts At that time, all the beasts ran away in a hurry, and if ordinary people encountered it, they would definitely die."

"Is this black dog hunted by the emperor?" Knowing the ferocity of this beast, Ming Youchen frowned slightly.

The Empress Dowager's complexion changed drastically.Mo Xi is fierce, if ordinary warriors or hunters encounter it, it would be good to save their lives, let alone if it hunts back?She held the emperor's arm tightly and looked up and down to see if the emperor was injured.

"She is the perfect prey I have been waiting for. A few days ago, the guards came to report that there was a moxie in Dongshan. I took people out of the palace last night and waited for it in the middle of the night to meet it. Finally, God has treated me well. I finally caught it back. I had its skin made into a hat and apron, and I specially dedicated it to the Prime Minister." Luan Tiance said with a smile, and held the Mo Yi skin in front of Ming Youchen.

It is well known that the black pig feeds on meat, but it is rumored that it has no fishy smell when approaching people, and only feels a chill.That's because its fur is particularly soft and free from dirt, and the fur hat made of it does not soak in rain or snow, and wearing it on the body can keep the body from getting stiff, and only let everyone around feel the coolness of this thing.

"The black dog is ferocious, and the number is very small. Ordinary people who are lucky enough to meet it will die under its claws. The emperor found this gift for Xiangguo. It is really intentional."

The Empress Dowager finally had a smile on her face. She looked at the young emperor, and then at Ming Youchen, who was facing the rare treasure without any envy in his eyes, and said softly, hoping that the latter would stop mentioning the emperor's delay. It's not about the sacrificial ceremony.

"This is the great event that the emperor said to benefit the country, benefit the people, and benefit the country? For the skin of this animal, you let the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the envoys of all parties ignore it, regardless of your own status, and led people to the dense forest It is too reckless to put the precious dragon body that the people care about before the beast."

Not paying attention to the treasures that the monarch personally risked to hunt for, Ming Youchen opened his mouth to teach Luan Tiance, letting the envoys from all directions understand who is in charge today.

"Xiangguo's words are wrong. Who in my dynasty does not know that you have devoted yourself to the affairs of the state, and you have taken care of it all these years to keep the sky in order. Xiangguo makes the people happy and the society safe, and I absolutely cannot do without you like this I gave this gift to the Prime Minister to take good care of his wealth, and to take care of his body so that he can contribute to my country. How can this not be considered a major event that benefits the country and the people and the country?"

"Really?" Ming Youchen raised his eyebrows with a smile that was not a smile. His attitude towards the emperor was not disrespectful but also respectful.

"Back then, the ancestors and the first emperors all entered Dongshan successively, hoping to hunt down the black dog, but they failed to achieve it. Today I hunted it, peeled off its leather cap and offered it to Xiangguo, and sacrificed its body to God. Please come here The Empress Dowager blesses me in peace, and secondly, it can also comfort the spirits of our ancestors." Luan Tiance talked gracefully, with an extremely sincere expression.

His words made the restless ministers feel relieved and nodded.

"The emperor is getting better at talking." Ming Youchen interrupted Luan Tiance's rhetoric, he was a little helpless at the fact that the young monarch never called "Zhen" in front of him, but he got used to it.

Ming Youchen's understatement finally made the ministers feel relieved.His expression didn't change, but his tone seemed to soften a little, making the atmosphere a little more peaceful. Everyone had faint smiles on their faces, and quietly wiped away the sweat from their palms.

"One more thing, look." Luan Tiance stepped forward, and while Ming Youchen lowered his head slightly, averting his star-sharp eyes, he gently placed the black scarf he had made on the opponent's shoulder, and then put the The fur hat was stuffed into Ming Youchen's hands.

"Back then, the late emperor took me into Dongshan for hunting. Unexpectedly, I met an assassin from the former dynasty. Xiangguo saved me from being hit by a poisoned arrow and dissipated all my internal energy. After that, every time the weather changed suddenly, the joints of your whole body would be extremely painful, especially in winter. Frightened by the cold. I gave the black pig skin in the hope of relieving Xiangguo's injuries and repaying him for saving him."

Luan Tiance's move not only showed the world the intimacy between him and the assistant government minister, but also did not act recklessly in the name of Youchen, so it seems that the king of Xin in Tiandu really couldn't refuse.

"In that case, I would like to thank the emperor for your generosity." Ming Youchen said indifferently, he tied up the scarf, handed the black ink leather cap to another servant behind him, and said: "Please change your clothes quickly, your majesty. Preside over the sacrificial ceremony."

"Please ask Xiangguo to preside over this grand ceremony and present a sacrificial text first, to comfort the emperor and queen, to show the sincerity of my heavenly capital." Luan Tiance asked sincerely.

Ming Youchen tilted his head slightly, quite surprised by Luan Tiance's proposal.Looking at the young emperor's increasingly resolute handsome face and shining eyes, it seems that the person in front of him will soon be able to completely shed his childishness and innocence, a faint light finally flashed in Ming Youchen's eyes.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable. In the grand sacrificial ceremonies, the emperor is the first to offer the sacrificial text, and the crown prince is the first to offer it. If there is no crown prince in the country, according to the current situation, it should also be the emperor's first offering, and the assistant minister to the minister. You have worked hard, but you are still a courtier, how can you sacrifice to God before the king?"

Before Ming Youchen could answer, an old official stepped forward and bowed, imploring Luan Tiance to take back his order. As soon as his words came out, many voices echoed him.

In the past, the emperor was suspected of not following the patriarchal law, so these people could not openly oppose it if they saw Ming Youchen had an excuse to establish a new emperor.Now that this crisis has been taken lightly by the emperor, if Ming Youchen performed the traditional duty of the emperor personally presiding over the sacrificial ceremony and offering sacrifices to the head of heaven, they would naturally be very dissatisfied.

These old ministers didn't care about the power of Ming Youchen, so they spoke out to persuade them.

"The sacrificial ceremony is a grand event for me to thank God for the peace of the world, the stability of the country and the people's living and working in peace and contentment. Everyone knows that if there is no Xiangguo, there will be no prosperous Tiandu today! I respect him, respect him, and ask him to offer it first. Why not just once? In the future, the Prime Minister will return to me, and after I rule the world in a legitimate name, every sacrifice I will offer after that will not be considered a violation of the patriarchal law."

Facing people other than Ming Youchen, Luan Tiance's nature was completely different, as if he had the majesty and self-consciousness that an emperor should have.

"But, Your Majesty..."

"What is it? I am the emperor, and I have the final say on everything! Could it be that I want to reward my courtiers with the highest standard of courtesy and favor?"

"Your Majesty, please think twice."

"Please withdraw your order, your majesty, I don't want to go beyond the distance to do such a disrespectful thing." Ming Youchen interrupted the trembling persuasion of those senior officials. There seems to be a faint smile in his eyes that makes people feel inexplicably frightened when they look at it.

"My dear family, since you have made up your mind, you don't have to persuade the emperor to get angry. This palace also believes that Xiangguo deserves this honor." The queen mother said: "It's getting late now, please go to the emperor first. More masters, let Xiangguo read out the sacrificial documents."

Seeing that the empress dowager and the emperor both asked Ming Youchen to preside over and offer the sacrificial ceremony first, the ministers could not raise any objections. They were worried that this would further fuel Ming Youchen's power and the arrogance of famous scholars.

Looking around the Chaoyang Palace, the famous generals and disciple officials all showed pride, and were complacent that the most outstanding leader of their clan was so respected by the current emperor and empress dowager.

Only the imperceptible smile in Ming Youchen's eyes seemed to be surfacing with a layer of light irony because of the words and deeds of the emperor and the empress dowager.

At this time, the red sun emerged from the clouds after the rain surrounded by thousands of golden lights.Ming Youchen didn't refuse anymore, he calmly walked to the center of the main hall, waited for Luan Tiance to put on the dragon robe, read out the sacrificial oration aloud, and then asked the emperor to sit on the dragon chair, and ordered the courtiers, court wives and foreign envoys to pay respects.

After paying respects to the emperor of Tiandu according to the etiquette, everyone saluted Ming Youchen beside him. They had seen the coup d'état that was almost launched before, and they were afraid of this young Xiangguo who was not majestic. Love, naturally work harder to please.

However, after sneaking a few more glances at this city man's dignified name with apprehension, these people had the illusion that they couldn't bear to look away.

After the grand ceremony, it was time to entertain the officials and envoys. Luan Tiance shuttled through each banquet hall set up in the main hall, frequently toasted to the courtiers and envoys, his face was full of spring and radiant, as if he didn't know that he was still on the throne at the moment. It's just a thought of Youchen.

The queen mother was also surrounded by a large number of close female relatives. The main wives of each minister brought their daughters to visit one after another. She received them one by one with an elegant and beautiful smile, and spoke softly without losing the royal demeanor, showing the maternity of the world. Noble atmosphere, the atmosphere in the banquet hall is very peaceful and lively.

Ming Youchen drank a few glasses of wine, and after dealing with the people he had to meet in person, he withdrew and left Chaoyang Palace.He was poisoned by a poisoned arrow many years ago and should not drink too much, but now he feels unwell after drinking a few cups, unwilling to lose his manners in front of the palace, Ming Youchen hurried away with two servants who had served him for many years.

Walking out of the Chaoyang Palace, Ming Youchen turned around and passed through several palaces.

Suddenly he stopped, and he heard the melodious and joyful music played by various musical instruments, the voices of the ministers and envoys chatting and talking faintly from the thick palace walls, which made people feel unreal, like before The bustling and bustling experience in Chaoyang Palace is just a mesmerizing dream.

His head became more and more dizzy, but Ming Youchen felt an inexplicable throbbing in his heart.He suddenly quickened his pace and walked through the long corridor under his feet. Regardless of the surprised eyes of the servants behind him, he rushed out of the three front halls of the imperial city in one breath, stood on the high jade steps, and looked down.

The majestic and magnificent imperial city is in front of you, it is astonishingly large.Every corner of the city is planted with brand-new flags of various colors, equipped with a large number of flowers and decorations, and every palace gate and front of the palace is guarded by mighty guards with weapons in hand, but this place still feels very empty .

No one spoke, except for the imperial guards who changed positions and patrolled around with the time, it seemed that there was not even the sound of people coughing or breathing in this huge imperial city.

Ming Youchen raised his head and narrowed his eyes slightly.He saw the red sun in the sky move to the top bit by bit, slowly revealing some parts of the imperial city that were hidden in the shadows.

At this moment, the sky was getting brighter, and the wind blowing across the imperial city at noon exuded a rare warmth.However, for some reason, standing in this majestic and luxurious city, watching the respectful scene of prostrating to himself in the ceremony of meeting the emperor, he actually felt chills in his body.

Unconsciously, he covered the scarf that Luan Tiance had tied around his neck before, Ming Youchen collected himself, lowered his head to drive away the dizziness that troubled him.Feeling the soft and smooth ink scarf under his fingertips, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but it made people feel chills!

That little emperor!He usually likes to go out in the mountains and forests with his guards, hunting for pleasure; unexpectedly, after several years of patience and tempering, he finally has the appearance and heart of an emperor now!

In the main hall before, Luan Tiance talked about his subjects and rewards, and kept mentioning the matter of returning to power in the coming year again and again... The little emperor was so worried, so he used words to block him in front of the world?

But that's fine too, if Luan Tiance has been content with having fun and doing anything wrong, then his comfortable life will indeed be too boring.

"My lord." The servant stepped forward and reminded worriedly: "It's windy here, if your health is not as good as before, you should go back to rest earlier."

Ming Youchen nodded, his footsteps staggered slightly, the servant holding the black leather hat quickly put his things under his armpit, stepped forward to hold Ming Youchen's left arm, carefully supported his master, and walked towards his bedroom in the palace. Go to Juye Honggong.

After a while, Ming Youchen lay down on the couch in the inner room of Yehong Palace.The two servants swiftly put down the things they were holding in their hands, pulled a snow-white and soft blanket over Ming Youchen's body lightly, then lit the calming incense, led the maid, and walked out of the palace gate lightly .

When the group of people walked out the door, they suddenly saw Luan Tiance standing not far away looking at them, seemingly thoughtful.
