Chapter 606: "A Toast to You"
Yi Hu looked out the window expressionlessly, the sun rose in the east, and another day passed......
After washing and dressing under the service of the palace maids, a new day as an emperor began.
His name was given to him by his mother, on the day he was born, his father did not come to see him, although he had seen the man many times since he was a child, but he was not much close to him, on the contrary, he was closer to 'Liu Gonggong', but unfortunately, a few years ago, the person who had always cared for him also died - just like his mother!
He knew from the beginning that his father was a tyrannical faint king, and his mother was originally a palace maid, but after giving birth to him, he became a concubine, which made his childhood not very good, and people often gossip. He once thought that it was precisely because there were too many gossiping people that his mother would get a heart disease and then die...... To this day, there are times when he still thinks so!
He had been a member of the fringes of this vast royal family since he was a child, and his father's relationship with some princes was even closer than his own, but he didn't care about it - the children of poor families were in charge of the family at an early age! He was born into a royal family, so naturally he could not be a 'child of a poor family', but he has been pointed at by so many people since he was a child, and his mind is much more mature than his peers, so he doesn't care about those things.
Although he had fantasized that his 'father' would treat him like his brothers...... Of course, this is just fantasy!
The eunuch who had been so good to him had died because of him, because he had called him 'Grandpa' - he still remembers very clearly how moved the gray-haired man was at that moment, and tears were dripping down.
And then...... He was put to death by 'that father'!
He was forced to watch the old man's head fall to the ground...... Until he died, the old man never complained about himself, and the eyes he looked at him carried compassion and regret, not hatred and anger......
After that, he put down his sword and gun, and broke the oath he had made to his mother before she died, and went into the library, and locked the door, in which no one would come...... Glory, wealth, fame and power, what can these things be used for? Although he is a mongrel, he is also the emperor's bloodline, and even if he doesn't do anything in the future, it will be enough for him to maintain a life of fine clothes and food, and he has no desires and no desires.
Except for eating and sleeping, he spent all his time in the library, where there was also an old man, but he did not dare to make any contact with him, for fear that the same thing would happen again.
After a few years of living without hearing anything outside the window, one day he suddenly heard the news of the emperor's death - at that time, he did not have a trace of pain and sadness, and his heart was full of joy and joy...... Maybe it shouldn't have been! Even if it's royalty, it should have feelings, right? Probably......
Then, after a few days, he suddenly heard the news that he was going to 'succeed to the throne'...... For the first time after that, the twelve-year-old child, who was as mature as an old man, looked surprised.
At that time, he thought that he was hallucinating, after all, if this kind of fake news spreads, he will definitely be beheaded!
However, this news is true - the ancestor designated himself to 'succeed to the throne', and his royal brothers and sisters did not even dare to speak out against it.
Only then did he know that the old man in the library was actually his ancestor...... Even though they didn't have any contact with each other, Id felt a little weird at the time.
Born in the royal family, he naturally knows a lot of things, this old ancestor of his has lived for nearly a thousand years, right? Monk? Doesn't it mean that monks can't easily interfere in worldly matters? So what happened to the old ancestor who suddenly made him emperor?
A few days later, a strange man appeared in front of him, claiming to be his 'bodyguard' and 'teacher', but only temporarily...... What exactly does he mean?
After that, a few more days passed...... I have begun to adapt to the life of the emperor, and I have begun to learn to handle government affairs, and it is strange to say that I have begun to feel that I have the talent to be an emperor...... Oh, maybe it's dizzy and cranky, right?
"I taught you two things......" said the man named 'Xie Lingyun'...... No, I should call him 'sir' from now on!
It didn't matter what spells he used to help me, but he did teach me things, and they were important to me...... Not only now, but also in the future!
"Thanks, sir!" I don't know if he is still there, but as a scholar and as an emperor, he should not miss this gift!
…………
"Hehe, your vision is not good! Or our vision is good! Sitting on the beam of the golden silk nanmu, Xie Lingyun said to the old man beside him with a smile.
"Humph!" The old man snorted coldly, although he was very reluctant to admit it, but their eyes ...... It's not good!
Although this little emperor was chosen by Xie Lingyun and them, why didn't they want to find a step down?
Compared with his sensual royal brothers and sisters, he is more suitable to be an emperor, and if he is properly educated, he will become a generation of Ming monarchs. The emperors of this country in recent generations are the same as before, and if the people are not converted, then sooner or later there will be 'another emperor' to overthrow this dynasty and establish a new one!
Monks like them are as powerless as lambs to the slaughter in front of those who are favored by the destiny of heaven, and that kind of person is naturally life and death for them, and they cannot have the slightest chance to resist!
The emperor of a powerful country can judge life and death with one word, whether it is a monk or something else, of course, this is only a mortal emperor of an earthly realm can do this, a monk like the Emperor of Heaven does not have such a powerful power!
There have been several generations of emperors who have been that kind of garbage, and as monks, they are all scared, for fear that someone will pop up and chop them up.
Xie Lingyun's appearance is exactly what they need, but for the sake of their own face, of course they can't thank Xie Lingyun and them in person, but just remember this favor in their hearts, this is owed to them, and it will be repaid sooner or later!
Of course, not every country is so open-minded - those who have no eyesight at all, and are arrogant, are hacked to death!
Generally speaking, monks are very afraid of this level of cause and effect, affecting a country, so what kind of retribution will they have?
However, Xie Lingyun and they don't have to be afraid, because there is a supreme to help them carry it, and those causes and effects can't affect them, so they dare to do this! It is not unreasonable for monks not to interfere with the worldly rule at will!
That's why they planned and decided that they must do a good job, otherwise those supreme beings who help them bear the cause and effect will all suffer unjustified disasters!
We must steer this country on a better path! That's what they said......
"Government affairs or something...... Of course I don't, but I can teach him something else! After Xie Lingyun finished laughing, he glanced at the old man beside him, "There are some things we can't do, so I'll leave it to you...... As long as you don't want this country to perish, take your part seriously! We'll take care of the rest! What we want is not chaos, but order - what Longya is like now, you should also know that we are protecting you. Don't do anything to him, we're not going to do anything to this country! Behind us is the supreme, what we are plotting is the three thousand worlds, this place is too small! ”
The old man was silent, this was not the first time he had heard about it, but as an 'old ancestor', he was still a little uneasy...... After all, that kid is what he grew up looking up on, even though it's only been so many years, but this kid is definitely much better than others to be the emperor of this country!
For the sake of future generations...... Although he could not remember the specific generations of his descendants, he finally chose to compromise, sighed and said, "Well, this country is indeed too erosive. Rest assured, we'll take care of them, remember what you say! ”
"Of course!" Xie Lingyun smiled, with a kind of arrogance in his eyes and tone, "This country will become better!" This is not only your wish, but ours! Fair trade, take what you need! ”
"Fair trade, each according to his needs......" The old man's hoarse voice came into Xie Lingyun's ears from outside, but in this hall, no one else heard his voice except Xie Lingyun.
Xie Lingyun picked up the wine gourd and drank it alone in a dull manner...... It is an inevitable sacrifice that they accept, and they themselves ......
The old man is already old, he is the 'old ancestor', because he has the highest seniority, but in fact, his strength is not outstanding, and there are many people who are more powerful than him in the dark side of the royal family.
Coupled with the injuries that were not healed in the early years, he was also dying...... Before he died, he felt that maybe it was time to do something for the country!
After all...... He failed to prevent the previous generations of emperors from ascending to the throne, and the people of this country suffered a lot......
When I'm old, I love to think about what I don't have......
This can be regarded as his final atonement!
"A toast to you......"
Xie Lingyun disappeared on the beam, leaving behind a wine glass full of wine.
