Chapter 43: The New Emperor
Kyoto.
In the brightly lit golden hall, a solemn and golden brilliance is imposing.
There is an everlasting lamp in the hall, which is lit day and night. At the wick was a crimson stone with a quail egg laughing, burning day and night. Wisps of green smoke rose and coiled around the hall.
According to legend, this ever-bright lamp was lit long before the Wei Kingdom, and it has been passed down like a holy flame in all dynasties.
This stone does not know what it is, and when it burns, it will release an extremely pure and domineering fire attribute aura. Moreover, it has the effect of concentrating and meticulously, which is extremely beneficial for cultivation.
In the hall, a middle-aged man in a black robe sat cross-legged in the corridor and looked at the ever-bright lantern not far away, playing with a long sword with both hands.
Seeing him, his face was resolute and handsome, and his eyes revealed a sense of majesty, and it was obvious that he was a person who had been in a high position for a long time.
There was a faint aura rising from this person's body, and although he had never spoken, the expression on his face was not angry and arrogant.
This passage is the only way for the harem to the main hall, and I think I have been walking on this road for more than 30 years.
At this moment, a beautiful woman crawled towards the middle-aged man from the direction of the harem, and her originally graceful and luxurious appearance was extremely pale and weak at this time.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, No, Your Majesty, he is you, my own child!
This person is the Son of Heaven, the founding emperor of the new country.
The new emperor continued to play with the long sword in his hand as if he had not heard, and at this time, the beautiful woman on the side cried early.
In front of them, several swaying figures appeared.
"Haha beauty, when the time comes, the prince will make you the princess and the concubine......"
I saw that the man led by this group of people was not very old, and he was estimated to be eighteen or nineteen years old. Although the clothes are luxurious, they are not neatly dressed, holding the beauty with one hand and carrying a wine jug with one hand, surrounded by a large group of dusty women.
This person is the crown prince of the new kingdom, Wang Sheng.
Although he is still young, he has been hollowed out by this wine, the prince's figure is slightly thin, his eyes are a little dazed, and the face that should be vigorous is indeed lingering with a dead breath at this time.
The extremely strange death breath flowed under his skin, and he unconsciously shook his spirit.
It's like someone staring at you from a short distance, and it's weird.
It is said that those who are about to die will have a sign, whether it is outside or those who know that they are dying.
The crown prince Wang Sheng suddenly felt a palpitation, and his back was instantly soaked in cold sweat, and he hurriedly wrapped his clothes around his body.
"Hey, His Royal Highness the Prince, what's the matter with this cold, it's so hot in the arms of my sisters......"
When the prostitute saw the prince's action of tightening his clothes, she quickly untied her clothes and pressed Wang Sheng's arm into her chest.
Feeling the warmth, the feeling of palpitations seemed to dissipate somewhat.
At this time, the beautiful woman was still pleading for her uncompetitive son.
The affairs in this palace are not as complicated as those of the previous dynasty, and it doesn't matter if the underage prince and grandson go out of the palace to play and play, and the new emperor will not care and is too lazy to manage these things.
Although he has just turned forty this year, he still has a lot of children, twenty-seven princes and thirty-four princesses.
As soon as this child is more, he is close to the family.
It's like a class where all the students are the homeroom teacher's students, but for these students, there are naturally likes and dislikes.
Some are talented and intelligent, and they can play their useless brothers since they were young, while others are proficient in eating, drinking, prostituting, gambling, and sampling.
Today's crown prince falls into this category.
If you want to say why you want to set up such a prince, the new emperor also has suffering.
The new emperor and the beautiful woman were united at the age of twelve by a political marriage between the two families, and soon after, a revolution from the aristocracy began in the new kingdom.
To put it bluntly, the feudal dynasty is the dynasty of the feudal aristocratic class, and few dynasties have dared to touch the interests of the aristocratic class.
The intention of this group of aristocratic classes to need a new emperor became more and more urgent, and it happened that taking the opportunity of Li Zhong, an important minister of Wei, to make drastic reforms, all families were in trouble.
The new emperor was not very old that year, only thirteen years old.
At that time, the Wang family was powerful, and it was the first nobleman to revolt, so this group of people pushed the Wang family to the throne, and it was supposed to be their father who inherited the throne.
His father died suddenly and inexplicably the day before the succession ceremony.
I was put on the throne in a daze.
At that time, I was still young, and my thinking was quite dull, and now that I think about it, everything is like a dream.
This position of the emperor is equivalent to picking it up for nothing.
After the new emperor ascended the throne, there was constant turmoil in various parts of the Central Plains, and there was great instability in various places.
The sphere of influence of the new nation has shrunk over time.
Five years later, when he was the same age as the current prince, he began to work hard, and the new emperor traveled to various families to stabilize the government and the opposition. He also made friends with the Long family, and used relatively peaceful means to pull the Long family into his camp.
Externally, it launched several major wars, the northern expedition to the snow country, the southern Linghua country, the western attack on the wind fierce, and the southwest Qiu Ning country.
The eastern side has opened up a shipping route, and the eastern dwarf country has been beaten again.
After fighting such a lot of beautiful battles, the government and the opposition can be regarded as throwing themselves to the ground for the five bodies that this Emperor Wu admires.
Now, the new emperor has been on the throne for 27 years, and from the fifth year he began to fight abroad, and it was not until seven years ago that the surrounding countries were considered to have settled down.
Thinking of this, the new emperor turned his head and glanced at the queen beside him.
"Ning Yue, I am fortunate to have you all these years, if I leave you, I still don't know what to do......"
"Your Majesty, you can't, you can't, Your Majesty......"
This crown prince is actually the second son of the new emperor and the queen, as for why the crown prince was passed on to the second son, this is really helpless.
The position of crown prince was not originally intended for him.
He originally had an eldest son named Wang Xuanqing.
Now speaking of his eldest son, the new emperor has some inexplicable emotion in his heart, the new emperor was only sixteen years old that year, and the little boy who was only sixteen years old sat on the dragon chair in front of the court ministers and looked at the child on his lap.
The subtle feeling in my heart is still fresh in my memory.
This eldest son, Wang Xuanqing, is also promising, and he has shown an amazing talent since he was a child, and he can teach everything as soon as he is taught.
When he was a teenager, he was able to lead his own troops to fight, and followed his second uncle, Wang Zhen, the king of Zhenxi, to conquer the west to pacify Qiu Ningguo.
Xindi can be sure that if his son is carefully cultivated, he will definitely be better than himself in the future.
But the sky was unsatisfactory, and on the way back from pacifying Qiu Ningguo, Wang Xuanqing was shot in the arm by a dark arrow.
At first, I thought it was a small injury and didn't care, so I bandaged it casually and did it hastily.
But who would have thought that three days later, Wang Xuanqing died violently after a drink.
When the new emperor heard the news, he was so anxious that he vomited blood in front of the ministers of the imperial court, and he lay down for three days before he could breathe a sigh of relief.
As it was summer on the march, the west of the new kingdom in the interior of the continent was extremely arid and sunshine was abundant.
Since it was a large army, it did not prepare so much, and the body was not disposed of.
When Wang Xuanqing's body was pulled back, he could smell the smell from afar.
Although the new emperor has never been a prince for a day, the new emperor is still very clear about the princes.
Wang Xuanqing can be regarded as a leader among his children, and the reason why he did not appoint a prince is that he does not want his group of children to have a gap with his eldest son Wang Xuanqing.
Although there is no crown prince, I believe that this group of people knows which prince this position belongs to.
But who would have thought that this great prince would be like this......
The day after settling Wang Xuanqing, the new emperor set up a candidate for the crown prince, that is, Wang Xuanqing's biological brother Wang Sheng.
This is the first is an explanation of his wife, and the second is that this Wang Sheng is Wang Xuanqing's favorite younger brother.
But who would have thought that Wang Sheng, who was well-behaved at that time, would become such a ghost today.
The new emperor looked back at the queen mother kneeling beside him, "Ning Yue" actually had a thousand words in his heart, and all of them were blocked in his mouth.
He never expected that more than half of his descendants would be abolished!
Although the throne of the new country is equivalent to being picked up by himself, if his civil and martial arts after taking office, and the great cause he has laid down for thousands of years are handed over to these princes, let alone a hundred years, the country will not be there after one emperor.
"Your Majesty, you will spare his life, Your Majesty...... The Emperor ......"
Looking at the queen beside him, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, even his wife was already ...... to himself
The prince walked in this corridor with this group of dusty women, drinking wine while teasing the women, and suddenly looked at the ground in a trance, as if there were two people on the ground.
Lowered his head and looked forward, isn't this his father?
Hurriedly took two steps forward and knelt down and kowtowed, but who would have thought that the floor was marble, and the wax that had just been beaten two days ago had fallen without paying attention and ate.
The nose slaps straight on the ground.
"Smack!"
There was a sound of broken bones, and although it was a severe pain, he still got up and said hello to his parents.
"The sons see the father and the emperor, and the queen mother ......"
When you are a mother, you are naturally soft-hearted.
"Kid, you ......"
Empress Ning Yue just wanted to step forward to help the child up, but was forced to retreat by a look from the new emperor.
The new emperor looked coldly at his own son in front of him and snorted coldly.
But who would have thought that at this time, the prince would turn his head like a convulsion and shout at the throat of the male duck at the hands of the girls behind him.
"What are you still looking at, quickly kneel down and greet your father!"
These women comrades hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on the ground to kowtow to the new emperor, shouting sweetly.
"Daddy......"
On the long corridor, the new emperor stood up from the ground, wiping the long sword in his hand with a neatly folded white towel, and the palace maids and eunuchs were lowering their heads to collect the corpses scattered on the ground.
Another grandmother will be frightened to the queen Ning Yue, who is a little mentally disturbed, to help her back to the palace.
After wiping his sword, the new emperor casually threw the towel in his hand to the ground and beckoned to the eunuch next to him.
"Pass my order, after the abolition of the new country!"
