Before I knew it, half a year had passed, and Akihara had learned more deeply. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info I feel more and more that this world is not simple.

The first is the reverence that the humans of this world have for the sacred tree. It is rumored that this tree gave birth to life on the entire planet. The tree survived for 800 years, took a full decade for the flowers to bloom, and a year for it to wither. How long does it take for the fruit to ripen?

All of this is contrary to the natural laws of the creatures of this world.

The second is all kinds of strange things in this world. Death, talking animals, pure land for souls after death, natural energy, and more.

On a normal day, Akihara came out of the study to eat. When he arrived in the hall, he found that only his mother was sitting at the table, but not his father. He didn't care. May be busy on official business. The two sat down and waited for Tyumen to come back and eat together.

Yukiyoko looked at him affectionately and took his hand: "Akihara, you've been working hard lately. I like reading so much. ”

Akihara enjoyed the atmosphere: "Mother, I used to be ignorant. Now they're almost adults. We must study hard, and we will be able to become officials in the future. ”

The social system is like this, and officials can recommend people to become officials in the court. After passing the exam, you can be hired. It is the same as the inspection system of the Han Dynasty in China.

Although he knew the drawbacks of this system, the aristocracy monopolized. But he had no desire to promote historical progress. I just want to spend my life in peace.

The two chatted and waited for Tyumen to return. Before you know it, it's already eight o'clock in the evening. Akibara doesn't feel right. Usually my father would come back at seven o'clock at the latest. Even if something happens, I will notify my family. Why is there no news at all today. It disturbed his heart.

So he looked at Yukiyoko: "Mother, father hasn't come back yet." I'll go out and ask for news. ”

Yukiyoko didn't care, and said casually: "Then you go, be careful." ”

As a right-winger member of the imperial court, Tyumen advocated a tough foreign outcome. It is inseparable from the frequent speculation of left-wing forces.

Just half a year ago, the two forces were separated from diplomatic problems with the neighboring country of the bear. Completely tore the face. There is a situation where either you die or I die.

And the leader of the right, that is, Tyumen. A generation of powerful ministers, with military forces in the rear. Calling for wind and rain at the imperial court. Even the Son of Heaven lives in his shadow.

There is never a right or wrong in political confrontations, only success and failure. And the loser, in the feudal era, was the result of raiding the family and exterminating the clan.

Tyumen arrived at the office this morning and went to work as usual. The half-year-long mutual scolding in front of the palace made him a little unbearable. That's why I got sleepy.

The Son of Heaven presided over the meeting from above the palace, and he tried to brace himself and listen to the narration.

"The diplomatic relations between the country of bears and our country are because of everyone's efforts for a long time. Finally reassured. So the quarrel in the past six months can be ended. Since then, we have made efforts to negotiate peace. ”

Qiu Ming's head was stunned, and he instantly felt like a lightning strike. There was no wind at all. Why is it suddenly closed today? A smell of intrigue came. It made him feel terrified.

After the conclusion of the court, nothing changed. Leftist officials talk and laugh among themselves. It's as if nothing happened.

When he arrived at the place of work, he was very uneasy. Politics has always been dirty. He has always believed in this. So he sent his cronies to find out the news.

Nothing happened. Nothing has changed. He smiled and thought to himself, "Maybe I've been too tired lately, cranky." ”

The official at the door suddenly came with the news that the Son of Heaven was celebrating this diplomatic victory. Prepare the palace for a banquet for the courtiers.

Tyumen didn't care, so he went to the banquet. When you arrive at the palace, you will be greeted by a huge ancient building. The four corners of the hall are raised high, and in the middle is a hall that can accommodate a hundred people, while above it is a jade platform three meters high.

One after another, all the officials came. He also took a seat. Get ready for a feast. Sitting next to him were his backing in the imperial court, and the generals of various military forces.

The banquet began, but the Son of Heaven was never seen. So Tyumen calls the shots, let everyone start. Everyone in the bright lights and wine and green people got up wantonly, teasing the dancing girl. Enjoying a good wine. Before you know it, it's seven o'clock. He was a little drunk.

Although Tyumen is wandering outside, he is a person who loves his family. Find the familiar court warrior next to him, and prepare to ask him to inform the family.

"You, come here. Go to my house and let me know, and I'll be back later tonight. ”

I've done this many times before, and I'm familiar with it. But a word that he didn't expect came to his ears.

"Without the order of the Son of Heaven, no one is allowed to go out of the palace for half a step. ”

With that, the samurai's right hand rested on top of the black, cold sword at his waist.

Tyumen shivered instantly, and his drunken brain sobered up in an instant.

Everything in the past six months has a reason.

The leftists, who had been languishing for a long time, suddenly attacked him desperately. said that he was corrupt, made bad decisions, had no one in his eyes, and did not know etiquette.

All sorts of political confrontations ensued, although they were true, and caused him a little trouble. But it never shook his foundation.

It turned out that the mastermind behind the scenes was the Son of Heaven. They have been giving cover to the man who has lived in their shadow for a long time, who they thought was cowardly.

At this moment, the Son of Heaven blossomed Yujing walked out.

He stepped onto the high platform and held his head high. Tyumen noticed that the thin young man had changed. Sharp eyes looked down at everyone present.

"The military group headed by Tyumen planned a rebellion, and the court warriors obeyed the order. I take it all. ”

Scattered around, samurai in black armor. Pull out the sword hidden in the sheath. Suddenly, the palace was in turmoil.

Tyumen knew that it was too late at this moment and did not resist. But others have not recognized the reality. The sword and sword shadows, the blood flowed like a river, and the candle that fell down lit the curtain next to it.

Tyumen was brought to the high platform by the samurai who had always let him run errands, and the Son of Heaven sat on the throne. Look at him with cold eyes.

"Tyumen, do you know? Since I became the Son of Heaven at the age of ten, I have lived in your shadow. I've been pretending to be cowardly for a long time, just for today. ”

Akiaki knew that he was powerless to return to heaven at the moment, and he thought of his wife Yukiyoko and his son Akihara.

"I can let you smoothly inherit the power of the military. As long as you let my family go. ”

Hua Kai Yujing's face became hideous for a moment, and he yelled.

"You still want to threaten me! Do you know? During the past six months, because of the cover of those officials, I have gained the allegiance of most of the low-level officials in the military. The thing I hate most in my life is you, and you still want to intercede for your family. ”

Tyumen collapsed in an instant, and his family was his weakness. A man who has dominated the court for thirty years and has never knelt. At this moment, he is crawling at the foot of the blossoming royal scene.

"Son of Heaven, please spare my family! ”

Blossom Yujing smiled, laughing loudly. In this hall with a strong smell of blood, the fire is full of fire, which looks particularly weird.

"You and your family, wait to see each other in the Pure Land!"

After he finished speaking, he took the sword of the samurai next to him and stabbed Tyumen in the heart.

Tyumen felt a tearing sensation spread through his heart, and his mind quickly turned around the familiar people.

used to be the cowardly emperor, the samurai next to him who had always been a dog, and the young official who accused himself of corruption and was finally stabbed to death by himself......

In the end, he thought of his son, who was beginning to be sensible, and the young girl Yukiyoko, who accompanied him to watch the falling leaves in the cherry blossom tree.

Akihara walked out of the house and looked in the direction of the court. The black night sky was lit up by the glow of a roaring fire.

At this moment, he felt empty in his heart. As if something had been lost.
