The sun slowly rose, the sea was calm again, as if the wind and rain of last night were like an illusion, the smoke rose, and the fleet set sail again.

……

This year is the fifty-seventh year of Longxing, and Emperor Fang Yao of Longxing ascended the throne at the age of eight, and now it is the fifty-seventh year.

Fang Yao's martial arts talent is mediocre, he doesn't like to practice martial arts and is burdened by the government, plus there are hundreds of beauties in the harem, Fang Yao's ability to serve for fifty-seven years is already a very magical thing, anyway, the reign of the emperors before the Dali Empire is far less than Fang Yao, the former emperor of the Dali Empire, that is, Fang Yao's father, Emperor Li Dedi, ascended the throne at the age of 16 and died young at the age of 28, reigning for only more than ten years.

There are only a handful of emperors or emperors in this world who can surpass Fang Yao in time.

After so many years of being the emperor of the Dali Empire who ruled tens of millions of people, with children and grandchildren under his knees, Fang Yao's life has been very perfect, Fang Yao, who has entered the last part of his life, is not only not satisfied with his life, but regrets it very much, regretting his cowardice, in Fang Yao's eyes, the Dali Empire is no longer the Dali Empire of the Fang family.

Fifty-seven years ago, Emperor Li De died suddenly, leaving no edict, but Emperor Li De had four sons, but the eldest emperor was only ten years old.

The major forces of the Dali Empire (mainly the big families) have taken action for the position of emperor, supporting one of the four emperors, as long as the emperor supported by his own power sits on the throne of God, then his own power will usher in great development.

For a while, there were constant guns and arrows, and the blood flowed endlessly.

The emperor was born to the emperor, and the emperor was born from the Guangwu Dongfang clan (surname) with seven surnames and twelve clans, and with the full support of the Dongfang clan, the emperor had the highest probability of becoming the emperor, and some forces chose to support the emperor.

The forces behind the other three emperors didn't see much hope, and finally chose to unite and give up most of their interests, and the forces behind the three emperors chose to support the second emperor, Fang Yao, and the great emperor to make the final struggle, forming two camps that were evenly matched.

I don't know how many lives have dissipated because of the position of the emperor, and in the end, the two camps that were evenly matched chose peace talks, and sent Fang Yao, who did not have much strength in his mother's family, to the position of God Monarch, but Fang Yao was only a few years old, and the government of the Dali Empire was completely controlled by the family because of this battle for the position of the emperor, but the most important thing is that the Fang clan fell after ruling the Dali Empire, and no one in the clan was promoted to the congenital.

From that time on, the Dali Empire was already the Dali Empire of the family, not the Dali Empire of the Fang clan, and once the emperor's order harmed the interests of the family, this order would even stop directly at the palace gate.

Fang Yao knew that there were many spies of the big families hidden in the imperial palace, and his every move would be seen by the big families, Fang Yao didn't dare to act rashly, so he could only slowly make some changes to the Great Li Empire, because Fang Yao was afraid, afraid that his big moves would cause the hostility of the big families, and even lead to killing for Fang Yao.

Fang Yao was very puzzled about his father's sudden death, and there were many shadows, although many clues were no longer clueless because of time, but Fang Yao learned that his father was trying to weaken the power of the great families in the Great Li Empire, and it was very likely that this incident caused Emperor Li De to die.

Such speculation made Fang Yao's actions more cautious, and his caution was a bit excessive.

Fang Yao has lived too long, it is a good thing to live for a long time, but it is a bad thing for Fang Yao, he has boiled several of his sons to death, and the next emperor does not know who to let to serve.

Fang Yao originally made an edict in advance to let his eldest grandson Fang Ji inherit the throne of the emperor after his death, but after Fang Yao thought about it carefully, he did not make an edict for a long time.

Francis's ability is good, and he is considered to be in the upper middle class among the previous emperors of the Dali Empire, but Francis's maiden family and even his father's maiden family do not have much strength, so how can he protect Francis to inherit the throne of emperor.

Among the six emperors and grandsons who are most powerful and qualified to compete for the throne of the emperor, Francis can only be ranked in the last three.

Fang Yao even guessed that once he made an edict for Francis to inherit the throne of the emperor, it was very likely that the edict would be tampered with, and even Francis might be assassinated.

The battle for the position of emperor may be nothing, after all, it is all held by the children of the way, nominally the Great Li Empire still belongs to the Fang clan, if an outstanding emperor comes out in the future, the Fang clan may also regain power.

But Fang Yao knew that no matter which of his sons and grandsons served as emperors, the other sons and grandsons would not end well, and his three brothers would not all die due to various accidents within a few years of inheriting the throne, that was not Fang Yao's order, how old he was at that time, how could he give such an order, it could only be the secret hand of the family.

No matter how fierce the competition is, they are all brothers, if it is handled by Fang Yao himself, at most it will be a house arrest, how can it be possible to kill them, and now Fang Yao's own sons and grandsons are facing this problem again.

Fang Yao was lying on the sickbed, weak and weak, if it weren't for the medicinal herbs to recuperate, Fang Yao wouldn't have lived long.

Fang Yao can't die now, the family is not ready, they are all well prepared, if they fail, it is very likely that the clan will be wiped out, no matter which time the emperor ascends the throne, it is not accompanied by bloody wind and rain, this is the anger of the emperor, and it is also the struggle between the family and the family.

The old-eyed Fang Yao looked at the thirteenth son Fang Ce and the seventeenth woman Fang Xuan who accompanied him, the two were twins, only twelve years old, not yet fifteen years old, they had been living in the imperial palace, and they often came to visit Fang Yao, talking with Fang Yao, which made Fang Yao's heart warm a lot.

Fang Yao hated so much, he hated himself for being cowardly and cowardly, once he died, Fang Ce would be implicated in this battle for the throne and die, and even Fang Xuan would be implicated by Fang Ce, why couldn't he be bolder, let go of his hands and feet to deal with the family when he was in the prime of life, how could it be like this, even if he died because of this, Fang Yao would not regret it, at least he had tried.

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world, and Fang Yao can't be asked to do it all over again.

On the sickbed, Fang Yao slowly raised his weak hand, and two small hands touched an old hand together.

"Lone is old, but Lone is not dead, others can't be orphaned, can these two children be lonely?" A voice sounded in Fang Yao's heart.

Fang Yao reigned for fifty-seven years, even if the family clan controlled the government, Fang Yao still cultivated a group of teams for himself, but in order to avoid being disparaged by the family family, this force was not very strong, but it was enough to send Fang Ce and Fang Xuan out of the whirlpool of right and wrong in Xinping.

"Alas!"
