Linque

The golden bricks of the Jingcheng Hall reflected his pale face. Xu Shao fell on the ground. After an unknown amount of time, he heard the emperor's voice suddenly resounding in the silent hall: "Xu Shao."

"Your Majesty, I'm guilty of the crime, but the Xu family has no such intentions and dare not presume! I beg Your Majesty to enlighten me!" He touched his forehead to the ground, filled with fear for the man on the dragon chair, and managed to finish speaking with a trembling voice.

"But I think you are very brave." The emperor put down the pen in his hand, and said lightly: "The crown prince's mother's family, the royal relatives, you were really impressive in the Mingzheng martial arts hall yesterday. I heard that if Su Lang doesn't stop you, say no In the end, Prince Yong'an Hou will give you some points."

Yichong Xiao Family, Yishan Academy, His Majesty will give three points of face.

Xu Shao's heart choked, and the cold sweat on his forehead condensed into bean-sized beads, dripping down his chin onto the gold brick.

After a long time, the emperor's extremely indifferent voice came from the top: "Don't have thoughts you know you shouldn't have, and don't say things you know you shouldn't say. Jiazhao and Yanxi are close, and Jiayonghou is still in good health. Alright, let him take you to the Uncle Yanyang's Mansion in Yanxi City to see more, and then you will understand everything."

How can there be any Yanyang uncle's mansion!Yanxi Zhong's family is the Empress Dowager's natal family, the Queen Mother of Qi's clan, and the three clans were killed by the barbarians long ago, and the land of Yanxi City was stripped away, I am afraid that the soil is still red with blood.The current Uncle Yanyang is just a puppet selected by the emperor from the offshoot of the Zhong family!

The meaning in the words is self-evident, Xu Shao's liver and gallbladder burst instantly, and he collapsed on the ground dripping with sweat, unable to speak for a long time.

The emperor's eyes turned to Xu Kan, who was kneeling half a step behind Xu Shao, "Your elder brother made irresponsible remarks in the Mingzheng Martial Arts Hall yesterday, is it because of you?"

Xu Kan was already trembling with fear, but as soon as the emperor said this, his heart jumped into his throat, almost making him breathless, with cold sweat dripping down his back, he fell in front of the imperial case in panic and couldn't speak.

"The emperor's guards are promoted and transferred, and the positions in the imperial court are promoted and transferred. The Sacred Heart is dictatorial, and it is not the same as him. I remember the rules here, which are all taught in the Wuying Hall Wenli Class, so you are right to discuss my decree. Does Chu Heng have an opinion, or do you have an opinion against me?"

Xu Kan trembled, kowtowed hurriedly and said, "I dare not..."

"You have already dared." The emperor interrupted him, his voice was cold, and every word carried an indisputable majesty, "No matter what the reason is, I personally transferred Chu Heng to the imperial court. If you have any opinions on this matter, If you have an opinion about him, you have an opinion about me."

The gaze of the superior was too deep, and the people lying on the ground could not breathe. Xu Kan wanted to defend himself, but found that under the extremely heavy and majestic imperial majesty, he could not make a sound, just like a scorpion in the scorching sun. Under the gradually drying fish.

The emperor knocked twice on the imperial case with his fingers, and after a long while, he said in a deep voice: "Gao bandit, go to Jiayonghou's mansion to deliver my oral order. Xu Shao, the son of Jiayonghou's son Xu Shao, has no words or deeds, and acts recklessly. He is ordered to shut himself up and contemplate for ten days. I picked two horses from the Imperial Horse Supervisor and sent them, and said they were rewarded by me. Tell Jiayonghou, take your son to Yanyang uncle's mansion to learn the truth when you have nothing to do."

Gao Bandit should be.Ling Ye looked at Xu Shao indifferently, and when he spoke again, he spoke in a gentle tone: "Remember to prepare your whip, your father may come in handy when you shut yourself up and think about your mistakes. I don't want Qingyan not to have a mother yet family, but if the Jiayonghou Mansion wants to, I won't stop it."

"As for you," Ling Ye looked at Xu Kan again, and said slowly, "Go back and copy the ceremonies of the former court a dozen times more. In the past few days, the Empress Dowager will call the servant of the Ministry of Rites to give a lecture on the ceremonies. You should also go to the Palace of Mercy and Listen , by the way, please greet her, the Queen Mother has always liked you juniors very much, Jiazhao Xu also got close to the Queen Mother in the past, I always remember it."

I remember it all... I remember it all...

The meaning in the words couldn't be more obvious, Xu Kan's face turned pale in an instant.After the eldest son of the emperor was established as the crown prince, the Jiazhao Xu family followed suit. How can the queen mother treat the Xu family's children now?He couldn't kneel anymore, and his figure shook violently and fell to the ground.

The emperor turned a blind eye.Gao Bandit walked forward indifferently, and reminded in a cold voice: "You two, please take the order and thank you."

The emperor really moved his mind and wanted to train a person. It has always been the cruelest way to kill without blood, to punish the heart, and to hang in the balance.

Ling Ye watched the two express their thanks for their kindness, and then walked out with the bandit under the support of the palace servants.

The gate of the main hall opened slowly, and half a foot of skylight penetrated through the door, illuminating the entire hall suddenly brightly.

Ling Ye sat on the dragon chair in the middle of the main hall, thinking wildly for a while, and seeing those flickering light spots on the ground in the distance, he couldn't help squinting his eyes.

He has seen this scene many times.

He has been sitting here since he was 14 years old. At that time, he was just sitting. He didn’t need to do anything, and he couldn’t do anything if he wanted to. He just counted the light spots on the ground over and over again.

The bricks of Jingcheng Hall and the tiles of Jiuchong Que, he has seen the scenery of this world for many years, experienced a lot of last resort, and learned to give up and forbearance here.

People often say that the emperor's heart is as deep as the sea, but no one knows how gloomy the sea-like deep heart is, without a ray of light, it will always be boundless and lonely, and the lively and lively world has never had anything to do with him.Just like the sky light that illuminates the entrance of the main hall, it will never reach the dragon chair he is sitting on.

When he was young and alone, he hid behind the screen of the Hall of Respect and Honesty and turned over the scriptures secretly brought to him by the shadow guards of the Son of Heaven from outside. It was his only relaxation and consolation in the past difficult years.The world of mortals in the storybook is cute, and he also yearns for the hustle and bustle of the city, wanting to get out of this world and see the various states of the world.

It's ridiculous to say that the heart-to-heart relationship in the story, and the relationship with the son, in fact, he, the emperor, is also envious.

Living in the Jiuzhong palace since childhood, no one understands better than Ling Ye, the most ruthless emperor's family, the feelings in the palace are just like a joke.

His father, the emperor, is surrounded by beauties in the Sangong and Liuyuan, but he is suspicious and moody.

The first emperor once liked a person, the noble concubine Gui Haiyanlan of Emperor Huiyuan, but before meeting the noble concubine, he had killed the whole family of the noble concubine, so the noble concubine spent 14 years in the palace killing him.

Later, when he was dying, the first emperor told Ling Ye that he did not regret falling in love with the imperial concubine, but he did not regret slaughtering the Erfei Medicine Sect. Even if everything could be done again, even if he could meet the imperial concubine earlier, nothing would change .

He would still hold the knife without hesitation - as an emperor, love should be worthless compared to imperial power.

The first emperor was such a person, he was cruel to himself, and he was equally cruel to his son.He will not show any more expectations and love for each of his sons. Even if he has a prince, he is still worried about entrusting the country in the future, and he will not give the prince any special treatment.

The first emperor cruelly gave many sons the hope of imperial control of Kyushu. Perhaps in his eyes, choosing the real heir should be like raising Gu. Only one can survive.The one who develops is the master of the world, and the one who can't survive can talk about the power to control Kyushu.

Along the way, Ling Ye has seen too many betrayals and exploits, power overwhelmed feelings, interests trampled on sincerity, and everything precious in the world was as light as smoke and nothing worth mentioning in front of the supreme imperial power.

Now that he is also sitting in this position, he doesn't want to be like his father.He didn't want to take the initiative to give what he had experienced passively, so that the bloody cruelty that could have been avoided because of him was repeated in the Nine Layers Palace.

For the past 22 years, he has lived a very tiring life. He has to live like a prince and an emperor every day. He has never had the opportunity or dared to live like "Ling Ye".Now that he finally has the time to breathe and the right to speak, he is extremely looking forward to having such a beam of clear and pure light shining into his heart.

Even though he was born in a heavenly family, he was taught in different ways by the previous emperor, emperor's teachers, and even political enemies, that the emperor is ruthless and the ruler is selfless.The coincidences in the story that are not based on any interests, but only trust and love, are fake in the first place.Even if there is, it is an extravagant wish that the emperor can never achieve in his life.

But he is just stubborn, knowing that it is out of reach, and maybe he will never meet him in his life, and he also wants extravagant hopes.Not for the emperor, but only for Ling Ye.

Ninety percent of the heart in his chest has been given to the emperor, to thousands of subjects in the mountains and rivers of Kyushu, only the deepest softness in his heart is left, and he wants to leave it to Ling Ye, to himself .

Something that is unique and difficult to find later, as long as he has the slightest qualification to say "no", he doesn't want to be a victim of political machinations.

For example, the Empress Zhonggong Yuan, who is now coveted by the aristocratic families of Kyushu.

Today, the congratulatory memorial presented in the court hall is being slapped around again.The Empress Dowager's full life is approaching, the city lords from all over Kyushu and princes from all over the country will come to Beijing to pay homage, celebrate birthdays and present presents. At that time, the noble daughters of various families will also enter the palace to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager, so as to find out his thoughts.Everyone knows that today is different from the past, entering the palace is like a phoenix ascending its branches.

Empress Yuan of the Dayin Dynasty had the same respect as the emperor, which was the national law and family regulations set by Taizu.The birthdays of the emperors and empresses are also received in the Zichen Hall, one of the three former halls of Jiuchongque, and given banquets to the officials. This is the respect of the Yuan empress.This position is only once, and once given out, it can never be taken back.

Ling Ye knew very well that the Empress Dowager and the King of Qi were just the beginning of gathering the power of the emperor. The royal family and the aristocratic family were fighting against each other.

Some of the Zanying family with rich background and rich background have already expressed their favor to him and want to be loyal. He also needs to give something in return, such as the harem that has been vacant for a long time, or even the unique seat beside him.

If he continues to be "stubborn" and does not take the "shortcut" of Shijiapu and him, the future will be extremely difficult. He may have to walk through more mountains of swords and forests of swords, which will be very difficult.

There is an ancient ceremony in the Dayin royal family. When the emperor gets married, the emperor has to hand over three things - the phoenix seal representing the queen's authority, the gold book that shows the queen's status, and the ceremonial ceremony written by the imperial pen and gold powder. Code.

The Phoenix Seal Gold Book has been passed down from generation to generation since the founding of the country, but the Queen's Ritual Ceremony is the charming thought of the emperor's family. It is crowned with a solemn and elegant name and written by the emperor himself to show his heart to his queen. Therefore, each book is unique. , unique to each queen.This is an ancient ritual established by the Taizu and the Taizu Empress, implying that the heavenly family also has true feelings.

But if Ling Ye is a wise and rational emperor, he should know that there are so many charming deeds, and the ceremonies of later generations are more just the honor of the empress and a symbol of the unity of the empress. Most of them are scenes of the emperor and empress sharing the same virtue.

The lord of the middle palace is very important, the latter position can be the emperor's bargaining chip, it can be a reward, but it should not be selfish.

However, he didn't want to.

Maybe he's just not wise enough, or sensible enough.

I just don't want to write a book of Queen's Rituals against my will, I want this position only to rest my heart.

This heart is so big, it was hard to keep it, I don't want to divide it randomly, I don't want to part with it, I don't want to take out my feelings and put a price tag on it to trade with the aristocratic family.

He is the eldest son of the first emperor and empress, he must sit firmly on the dragon chair, there is no other way to go, but even so, he never wants to let himself become a vassal of the dragon chair.He has given up a lot for the power of the emperor, and he doesn't want to completely give up "Ling Ye", his own soul.

In addition to being an emperor, he also wants to be himself.

As the lord of the world, he wants to be worthy of his people and the mountains and rivers of Dayin, and he also wants to be worthy of himself.

He wants to know that there are countless lights in the world, among which is there a beam of clear sunlight that belongs to him, can shine into his heart, and make him hug him.

Now he has met a person who moved his heart, and every time he sees it, his heart moves. He thinks that he probably likes him, but he doesn't know if this person will like him, and he doesn't know if he is destined to be with him. Come together.

But he wanted to give it a try. He had fought so much for the "emperor" since he was a child, and now he wanted to fight for "Ling Ye" only once, even if it ended up being fate, it would be fine if he failed.He is not worried about the emperor's authority. He has come through all the besieged in the past, and he is not afraid of the difficult road ahead.
