"Your Majesty, Tang Tai often asks to see. ”

In the Xingqing Mountain Palace, Emperor Qi Xunwen of the Mandate of Heaven was lying on a recliner and basking in the sun. When he met Shi Yuanji, he was still pale. And now, his skin was like a wet white paper wrapped around his flesh, and it seemed to fall off with it.

"The silver mask made by the craftsman has ever been completed?" said the Emperor of Destiny with a strong spirit.

The eunuchs took a small box and opened it in front of the Emperor of Destiny. I saw that on the delicate velvet inside, a simple silver mask reached on it.

The mask is carved with dragon patterns, and the mana shines on it. When this mask was close to the Emperor of the Heavenly Mandate, the spirit of the Emperor of the Heavenly Mandate was obviously much better.

Although the curse of the Xi Blade Stone lingered and did not go away, fortunately, it only hurt the body, and the reason of the Heavenly Mandate Emperor was not affected.

He had Ouchi's craftsmen forge the mask, which was engraved with dragon patterns that blocked the flow of mana. In this way, the curse is indeed much lessened.

"Put it on me. ”

With the order given, the eunuchs served the Emperor of the Mandate of Heaven and changed their clothes and wore masks. And Tang Wanyuan was led into the palace by the eunuch and prepared to face the saint.

"Long live Your Majesty. ”

Tang Wanyuan was familiar with the gift, but was stopped by the Emperor of Heaven.

"You are my teacher, no need to be polite. After the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny put on the silver mask, he was finally able to move, and he sat on the throne, and with a wave of one hand, he dismissed the eunuchs who were serving on his side.

It was only at this time that Tang Wanyuan looked up at the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny and couldn't help but be taken aback.

“...... Why does Your Majesty speak weakly, and why does he wear a mask?"

"I heard that Your Majesty's dragon body is not safe, but everything in the hall is complicated, and I don't have time to visit Your Majesty until now. ”

"Your Majesty, is there anything you have to tell the minister!"

Speaking of this, Tang Wanyuan was quite emotional, and couldn't help but fall to his knees and burst into tears.

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny sighed lightly and slowly took off his mask, revealing a pale face.

"Your Majesty, this is ......" Tang Yuan let out a roar.

"Strange I accidentally angered the gods. But now that I think about it, this catastrophe seems inevitable, so there is nothing to regret. ”

Tang Wanyuan burst into tears and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, as the Apocalypse, must cherish the dragon body." Wait, isn't it ......"

"Yes, it's the Hee-Rock. ”

As soon as the words fell, the dormitory suddenly fell silent. Emperor Mandate of Heaven and Tang Wanyuan looked at each other speechlessly, as if they were petrified.

"Well, don't cry. The Emperor of Destiny put on his mask again and found a comfortable position to sit on the throne. "Teacher, I'm afraid you're not just here to visit me. Anyway, something. ”

Tang Wanyuan took a deep breath, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the old minister heard that Dugu Yao had entered Beijing, and you, a holy decree sent him?"

"That's right, what does the teacher have to say?"

Tang Wanyuan has been teaching Qi Xunwen since he was a child, and even when he was the prince, he was his prince and concubine, which can be said to be deeply emotional. As a result, the two had little to say except for basic etiquette.

"Your Majesty, you are too anxious. Tang Wanyuan knelt on the ground, worried.

"On that day, you summoned Shi Yuanji and Princess Nayu to discuss in Xingqing Mountain, and almost everyone in Chengyun Hall knew about it. ”

"I think you should have done it on purpose, in order to make Shi Yuanji's kid unavoidable. ”

"Although the old minister doesn't know what makes His Majesty so valued by this kid, now is not a good time for him to show his edge. ”

When the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny heard this, he secretly lowered his head and thought, and after a while, his eyelids closed slightly, as if he had thought of something.

"Are you saying I'm in a hurry? Is it too early or too late?"

Tang Wanyuan arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, do you really value that poor boy from Hedong so much?"

"Of course, to tell you the truth, he's important and he's royalty. "The Emperor of Heavenly Mandate had no choice but to write a dry answer to prevaricate Tang Wanyuan.

"It's so serious, I wonder what His Majesty plans to do with him?"

"He is a royal family in exile, and now that he has been found by me, he wants to get his title back. ”

Tang Wanyuan was an old fox, and he knew that the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny didn't want to talk about it, so he had to share his thoughts and dishes.

"Your Majesty, there is an old saying: 'If the king is not secret, he will lose his minister, and if the minister is not secret, he will lose his life'. His Majesty's invitation to the palace in such a high-profile manner was a great disadvantage to him. ”

The Emperor of the Mandate of Heaven was a little unimpressed: "Why, wouldn't it be better for him to be known to the ministers earlier?"

"Your Majesty, to be honest, you want to use him against the Eight Pillars, right?"

Emperor Mandate of Heaven did not say anything, and without saying a word, he acquiesced to Tang Wanyuan's statement.

"Your Majesty, Dugu Ling has entered Beijing, which shows that the Eight Pillars Kingdom attaches great importance to Your Majesty. Tang Wanyuan said patiently. "And he is a person valued by His Majesty, but he has no power or power, even if he is given a valuable royal name, can he really keep it?"

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny suddenly realized, and he lost his mind for a while. He really didn't think about that.

He needs an army. The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny was awe-inspiring in his heart and began to calculate.

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny said unhappily and sadly: "Teacher, tell me the truth, what do you know?"

"The old minister just guessed based on what he saw and heard. Tang Wanyuan sighed. "The displaced people in Hedong are everywhere, and the people are about to revolt; the Bazhu national clan has not had enough talent in recent years, but they have occupied a large position in the DPRK; and the war in Xiniuhe Prefecture has been endless, and the situation is unclear. ”

"None of these situations are easy to deal with. ”

"The ghost side annexed Goolong in one fell swoop, and its momentum is flourishing, and its strength cannot be underestimated. After seven or eight years, they integrated the original resources of Goolong, and they did not want to invade the brand. ”

"Hedong is a fief of the imperial family, and the annexation of land has always been prosperous. Now that the people have been in turmoil, and the displaced people have even gone to Fenghao, how can the minister not know? Ouyang Xuan arranged a defensive line to stop the displaced people by killing, but he was still defeated by many displaced people. In this way, Hedong has become the key to shaking the community. ”

"The son of the family does not know the book, the Gao Menlang is misbehaved, the cold is innocent and turbid like mud, and the Gao Diliang will be as timid as a chicken, this is the people's view of the Eight Pillars of the country, which has a long history. Admittedly, this is not a lie. In Yichen's opinion, most of the families in Chengyun Pavilion are like this. ”

"Your Majesty wants to take back the privileges of the Eight Pillars Kingdom and use the exam as a test, so you have already let Dugu Yu enter Beijing. Next, it is also a question whether the royal family in Hedong will be more restrained and no longer wantonly annex land. ”

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny listened quietly, silently staring at Tang Wanyuan through the silver mask, unable to see his emotions.

"Your Majesty, although the minister doesn't know what the secret of this Shi Yuanji is. But since you value him, he must have something to do with these three things. ”

Tang Yuan paused for a moment to sort out his thoughts. But in any case, at this time, he is soft-spoken and does not have enough backers and strength. Let him do any of the three things, I'm afraid he will not be able to catch it, and even die without a place to be buried!"

The Emperor of Heavenly Mandate let out an imperceptible cold snort: "Could it be that he is a royal family in exile, and this is not enough to protect his life?"

"With all due respect, it's not enough. Tang Wanyuan knelt on the ground more disciplined. "It has been two hundred years since the opening of the dynasty, and the royal Qi clan is all over Dongsheng Shenzhou, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, and the identity of the Qi family's children is no longer valuable. ”

"What does the teacher think?" the Emperor of the Mandate of Heaven pondered for a moment, and finally made up his mind.

The old minister thought that it was best to let him go to Hedong to have a look. His hometown is in Hedong, and he can also see a long way along the way. As for the Eight Pillars of Hanoi, they don't dare to act rashly for the time being, and they can think about it in the long run. ”

"**I am just going to travel to Hedong, let him take Shi Yuanji with him, and it can be considered stable. And to give him a title, you can start with simplicity all the way, let him go to the Zongren Mansion to get a seal ribbon and prove his identity. ”

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny asked suspiciously, "You have already arranged it?"

“...... Indeed it is. Tang Wanyuan knelt on the ground, bowed his head and bowed again, just waiting for the order of the Emperor of Heaven.

"Arise, as you say. "The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny picked up the wolf's hair, and actually took out a letter paper and wrote it. "I pick up a book, and you bring it back to him. ”

Tang Wanyuan got up and respectfully accepted the letter, holding it in his arms, not daring to look at it more.

"Your Majesty cherishes, in a few days, I will ask Guo Jiao to come and add dragon patterns to Your Majesty's mask. ”

"Very good, the teacher walks slowly, and I won't send it. ”
