Chapter 0270: Trance
A supreme minister is actually nothing, and the powerful minister is one step away from the emperor, but this step is also the most difficult and dangerous step. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info is not good to go up, and it is easy to roll down if you go up, and once you roll down, it will be an abyss of ruin and disgrace for 10,000 years.
At this moment, Lu Fei actually felt a little trance, it was really like a dream! The throne is so close? He could hear his own heartbeat, the excitement, the blood, the apprehension, the intensity of emotions that had never been seen in two lifetimes.
He gradually understood the magic of the place, the strong magic barrier that seemed to destroy all needs.
Lu Fei hadn't even thought much about what it was like to be an emperor before, but at this moment he had an illusion and a momentary impulse: even if he only sat for a while, even if he had to break his bones in the end, he couldn't resist the temptation of wanting to sit up! Desperate temptation!
No wonder many people are at the end of their rope and have to become a king! No wonder "slow reign" is an extremely rare kind of inhuman patience! No wonder countless heroes can't wait to be emperors everywhere! Of course, there are many more people who are like this, Lu Fei can't remember clearly, anyway, all kinds of people, countless people, all have the same desire! It's not a human cause, it's the nature it has.
...
Lu Fei walked to the throne, turned around for a moment, and sat down with a calm breath. The civil and military ministers below immediately knelt on the ground and shouted: "The emperor's holy life is boundless!" ”
He said in a dignified manner, "Flat." "All the people are grateful, and the order is divided into high and low order in the main hall.
Lu Fei was speechless for a while, and the first time he sat on it, he ignored all the furnishings around the throne and everything in the hall. The first thing I felt was not anything concrete, but a momentum.
There's something inexplicably swelling at a rapid pace. The location here is very central, and it is said that the imperial city is under the purple microstar, the center of heaven and earth...... Lu Fei, who is familiar with the geography of the universe and the earth, actually believed it at this time, at least feeling that his feet were the center of heaven and earth.
The position he sat in was facing north and south, and he felt that everything he did while sitting here was a righteous and bright, a matter of course, and an unquestionable truth. He looked down at the vast temple between the great pillars below; The main gate is above the pedestal, from where the line of sight extends to the blue clouds, the wide square, the countless troops; As you can imagine, the continuation into the distance is a straight and wide royal street, the road to heaven; Then there is the vast plain, the Yellow River, the Yangtze River, and the rivers and mountains are all at your feet!
This mood is very grandiose, very vast, very imposing. It seems that everything in the world is under control, as if he is no longer a small mortal, but indeed a son of heaven!
Lu Fei didn't say anything for a long time, and the ministers below also stood up respectfully and didn't speak. According to etiquette, no one can look up at the emperor directly, but Lu Fei can look down on everyone's words and deeds while sitting here.
The initial shock gradually subsided, Lu Fei also came back to his senses, he pondered for a moment, and then spoke: "Pan Xiang, Lu Xiang, the political hall can send a report to spread the news of my inheritance of the Tang Dynasty to the local government offices. ”
Pan Mei and Lu Duan bowed together: "The minister's decree." ”
Lu Fei looked sideways slightly, there was nothing beside him, he remembered that when he was in the court in the past, there were officials from the Hanlin Academy who specially recorded holy decrees and issued edicts on one side. But today is not an official court, unprepared.
At this moment, the privy envoy Pan Mei came out and said, "The old minister, please play the emperor." Today's twenty-first, nine days later is the first day of the new year, so that the division can prepare immediately, and the emperor's official enthronement ceremony can be held on the first day of the new year. ”
Lu Fei agreed: "At the request of Pan's privy envoy." ”
He looked at the men and horses outside the hall and said, "The generals and the troops then obeyed the order of the Privy Council and returned to their camps without confusion...... Scattered! After he finished saying the last word, he realized that it was a little strange, ordinary habits in the army could not be changed, and they had to show it from time to time.
Naturally, everyone didn't care, and bowed to thank you at the moment. Lu Fei stood up straight and left the throne that had been addicted.
He then changed places and went to the study on the side of the main hall. Because Lu Fei had been summoned there several times individually, he knew where to speak to the minister. Pan Mei, Yang Yanzhao, Tie Hammer and others were summoned. Although Lu Fei was emotional, his brain was not dizzy, and he immediately deployed the guards. Let his cronies lead his own troops to control Donghua Gate, and deploy an army of the Tiger Ben Army on the east side of the imperial city. The guards in other parts of the imperial city remain unchanged, mainly garrisoned by the squads, and now although many of the squads in the inner hall are old people from the previous dynasty, some of them are drawn from the Japanese army, so Lu Fei doesn't believe that if someone in the inner hall wants to make trouble, he will not know any news beforehand.
According to the commander-in-chief, the men and horses who were mobilized and stationed were all under the command of Cao Keming, because the Tiger Ben Army had just returned from the front line and needed to be disbanded and recuperated, and could not undertake the task of guarding the outer city.
Lu Fei quickly sorted out his thoughts: Zhuban has always been favored by the royal family, they have never done anything about mutiny, and they have no motives and people who can organize people; And most of the generals in this are people who have been gradually co-opted by themselves and Zhou Wei...... Unless Zhou Wei wants to mutiny, no one can come forward to do that, but Lu Fei completely trusts Zhou Wei, and she can't do that, and there is no reason for this, even she supported herself.
But Lu Fei had just been proclaimed emperor, and his heart was not very stable, so he controlled a key city gate with his own soldiers. Soldiers and horses outside the imperial city can enter the emperor's living area from the Donghua Gate; And you can open the Xuanyou door from the inside and enter the office area near the Long Live Palace. In the event of an extreme situation, the elite soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army stationed in the east of the Imperial City can be summoned to enter the Imperial City from the Donghua Gate to escort them, so as to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
After doing these things, he felt a little at ease, and left the Long Live Hall with the eunuch Wang Fang.
At this time, the people in the palace were panicked, and they couldn't find the driver in the four corners, so Lu Fei asked the guards to bring his war horse over, turned over the horse vigorously, and turned back to the guards and said, "It's all scattered." ”
People agreed.
Lu Fei rode his horse and hurriedly headed towards Xuanyou Gate. At this time, he only had one entourage of eunuchs running out of breath behind the emperor's horse, but he didn't have much of the emperor's pomp, and he couldn't care about it so much. He was anxious to see Zhou Wei, then the pregnant Heiyun who didn't hide it, and Yang Sanmei, who had just been taken into the palace.
Wang Fang was the head of the eunuchs in the imperial city, and when he was about to arrive at the Xuanyou Gate, he hurriedly shouted that the emperor had arrived, so he called the Xuanyou Gate. A group of people came forward to bow to the saint, but Lu Fei ignored them and continued to walk on horseback.
When you enter the door, it's the harem area, so you don't bring any guards. The usurpers in history probably didn't dare to come over like Lu Fei, even if they were emperors, the old people in this palace could not be trusted by the new masters; But Lu Fei is different, as long as he trusts Zhou Wei, there will be no problem, the palace is completely controlled by Zhou Wei.
The surroundings are very empty, even the trees are few, and the Banzai Hall is magnificent and dignified, full of momentum. Lu Fei still retains the mood of being shocked by the architecture of the imperial authority.
But the mood faded quickly and suddenly. At first, in the main hall of the court, he only felt domineering and majestic, all kinds of positive impressions; But as soon as I arrived, I suddenly had an indescribable feeling...... The life of the emperor and the ladies of the court was in this kind of place: on the undisguised pedestal that tens of thousands of palace people watched.
When I think of living and living in this kind of place, I have a feeling of being in full view of the whole world, and there is almost no privacy in life.
Then, Lu Fei noticed something, although this imperial city was very large and flat, in fact, the Central Plains was a plain, and the whole place was open and flat...... However, each area of the palace is separated by an internal palace wall, and you can only see such a small area in one place, and the line of sight is actually not very open. It is surrounded by tall palace buildings and red walls.
On both sides of the main hall on the central axis, there are some buildings separated by walls, which should be the places where concubines, eunuchs and palace maids live and move. They can only be here for the rest of their lives, and they have to fight for status. Lu Fei suddenly felt that this palace, which everyone in the world yearns for, is not a good place to enjoy life!
"The new emperor is going to see the Queen Mother." Wang Fang walked to the door of the Long Live Palace, met a eunuch who was looking there, and said a word. The eunuch fell to his knees.
"Get up and lead the way." Lu Fei said casually.
The eunuch got up tremblingly, unable to speak, and hurriedly bent down and walked behind the side, stretching out his finger to lead the way.
Walking through the front hall, I soon came to a door. Lu Fei walked to the door and saw that there were some palace maids inside, Zhou Wei was sitting on a collapse with Heiyun, and both of them immediately stood up.
Lu Fei looked at Zhou Wei and was speechless for a while.
Zhou Wei also looked at herself like that, and the two looked at each other. Lu Fei has been out for several months, and the first time he met after a long absence, he didn't expect it to be such a silent side.
"Husband!" The black cloud immediately shouted in surprise and walked quickly to this side.
Lu Fei hurriedly said: "Slow down, slow down." He saw that the black cloud was already bulging with a high belly, and inside was his own child, and smiled: "How many months? ”
At this time, the surrounding palace ladies came back to their senses, knelt on the ground one after another, and bowed: "Slaves and maids knock to see the emperor." ”
Didn't hide the black cloud was stunned at this time, in front of everyone's eyes, she bit her lips lightly, and bent her knees as a blessing: "The concubine visited the emperor, the emperor just went to Hedong when the imperial doctor came to see it, and the concubine was afraid that this matter would distract the emperor, so she didn't publicize it, and asked the emperor to punish the crime." ”
Hahaha! Lu Fei looked up and smiled.
"Get up." Lu Fei stepped forward and asked kindly, "Thank you for your hard work, Heiyun is okay this time?" ”
Wuzang Heiyun smiled: "It's good, the queen takes care of me, for fear that I will be hungry and freezing." ”
Lu Fei turned his head quietly and said, "The queen is tired. ”
Zhou Wei's face was dignified and serious, and her expression could no longer show any strangeness, "It's all as it should be, please take a seat for the emperor." ”
Lu Fei glanced at a chair on it, then sat down on the chair and muttered: "After defeating the Hedong rebellion, the army returned to the dynasty and traveled to the Daimyo's mansion, and the soldiers suddenly supported me as the emperor, so that this is the case. ”
Zhou Wei said: "I've heard it all. This dynasty was originally established by the emperor, and there was a great merit of Pinghebei, and everyone in the world looked forward to it, and the emperor's name was justified, and it was also where the righteousness lies. ”
Lu Fei said seriously: "The queen understands righteousness. ”
As he spoke, he noticed that there was a bed tent in the palace, which should be a dormitory, that is, a bedroom. But when I was talking with my family in the bedroom, it turned out to be such a scene. An indescribably complex emotion arose in my heart.
It's good for men here, it gives people the greatest self-confidence, respect, face, and self-satisfaction; But it also makes people lose something, something subtle that cannot be calculated and spoken.
……
Zhou Wei took the initiative to move to the palace behind her on the same day, but in the name of taking care of the black clouds, she was still active in the Long Live Palace. Just to avoid suspicion, she also deliberately left a lot of palace people around her at will...... There were already rumors.
Lu Fei hinted that he wanted to talk to Zhou Wei alone, after all, there were still some things inside and outside the palace that needed to be discussed with her. So when he sat down to drink tea after dinner, he broke away from the black clouds and the palace people, and talked with Zhou Wei in the dining room.
It's a gorgeous place. Lu Fei felt that the palace life was not very comfortable, but he did not deny that the furnishings and use of the royal family were really exquisite and luxurious. Just pay attention, even the smallest things are very carefully crafted. And it is these countless innumerable and luxurious details that make up the vast court, and the value here is indeed incalculable.
The palace people retreated one after another, and Lu Fei and Zhou Wei were left here. The two faced each other silently, and he didn't have anything to say for a while, but sighed...... Maybe it's a little sigh!
Lu Fei said: "I really didn't think about coming to this point at first...... he sighed slightly, "Back then, I thought it was actually quite simple, in this world, I still have some people who I care about, as a strong man, I have to fulfill some responsibilities, I want to let those I care about and love live a good life, I want to make up for some regrets because of my powerlessness, and I also want to make myself live a better life." But step by step, you can't stop. ”
Zhou Wei listened to his narration very quietly. Even if you put aside those entangled kindness and feelings, Lu Fei really loves this woman from the bottom of his heart, she seems to be unique in the world. She is very wise and patient, and she listens to herself; She is also very temperamental and charming, no matter from her posture, tone or words and deeds, she is so beautiful. In short, Lu Fei felt that he enjoyed communicating with her very much.
She opened her lips and asked softly, "I understand what you thought before." And now? What do you think about being emperor now? ”
Lu Fei groaned: "Responsibility...... Desires and dreams. ”
"Oh?" Zhou Wei only spit out one word, but with a tactful change in tone.
Lu Fei said: "When I sat in that position for the first time, I really felt the pride of the king, and I felt that I was very strong and could hold the country...... But with that, there is an inexplicable sense of responsibility. Because I can control the operation of this country, then I have to be responsible for the fate of the country; It's like I'm the head of the family, my wife...... That wife and children are weaker than me, whether the family is doing well or not, and what the future is, I always feel that I should take responsibility and make some contribution to the family, so that I will also have a sense of accomplishment and self-identity, and I am willing to do that, because I think it should be done that way, and it is right to do that. ”
Zhou Wei's beautiful eyes seemed to light up a little, and she said softly: "Maybe it is unfortunate for some people that you are the son of heaven, but at least you are lucky for the people of the world." ”
Lu Fei said: "Yes, I actually care about people the most. At first, I only cared about my family, brothers, and friends, but now I ...... I can't see what some people are like living, but I can imagine that they may be poor, very difficult, very humiliated, they have been persecuted and hurt, they have endured inhuman suffering, but for one reason or another, they can only endure with injustice. I can't bear it when I think about it, and I have to do my best to change it and help them. ”
Zhou Wei bit her lip lightly: "Of course you can do it, you are the eldest husband and the ...... the son of heaven."
Lu Fei said again: "In addition, I am self-inflated in that position, and I always feel that I can do anything and do whatever I want. But I can't say how to express this power, so I want to make great achievements and do great things so that I can truly feel such a powerful power. My dreams are swelling uncontrollably! Since I am the first person in the world, I should do great things like heaven and earth without constraints, and I dream of building a powerful empire that transcends the past and the present, so that the glory of this empire will shine on the whole world, and it will be celebrated forever beyond the present and the ancients......"
As he spoke, he became excited.
Zhou Wei did not pour cold water on him, but encouraged: "Mencius said, born in sorrow and died in peace. You became emperor, but you only took the first step. The country is not yet in a state of flux, and if it stagnates, there are still many hidden dangers. ”
"You're going to help me!" Lu Fei looked at Zhou Wei with a straight face.
Zhou Wei opened her mouth slightly, and said softly: "The time when I was in power is over. ”
Lu Fei said: "I will crown Zhou Wei and Heiyun as queens together, and you will continue to be in charge of part of the power." I am the Son of Heaven, I can do whatever I want......"
"No way!" Zhou Wei flatly refused, "Fei Ge'er can't do whatever he wants now, you have just become the emperor, and the whole world is waiting." If you do anything wrong as soon as you come, the world will be disappointed. You don't have to give me any name, at least not now, because it's a disservice to you; Not only that, but you must continue to observe etiquette and stay away from me. In the world, the virtuous live in it. Fei Ge'er should not only have force, but also virtue. ”
Lu Fei frowned and said, "I was impulsive just now......"
"I know you're out of shape." Zhou Wei said softly.
Lu Fei said: "That's not good for you, if Zhou Wei has a bad reputation in front of the world, it will also be uncomfortable, and her prestige in the palace will be damaged, and it will be even more difficult to control the situation." ”
He thought about it, and the slightly lost mood rekindled, and his eyes lit up: "If one day my prestige has reached the peak and become a powerful lord of a generation, then how big is it for me to crown a former queen as the queen?!" ”
Lu Fei always said that it was not the word 'Queen Mother'.
In Zhou Wei's eyes, Lu Fei's performance was like pulling out his heart. Her face was also a little moved, there seemed to be tears flashing in her eyes, and her voice changed a little: "Actually, you have this heart, what else do I want to do...... But you're right, I'm looking forward to that day. ”
The two of them then fell silent, immersed in a faint and seemingly deep feeling.
After a while, Zhou Wei's face showed a slight smile, and she breathed a sigh of relief: "You haven't talked about desire yet...... The most direct, when you walk into this palace and enter the house, don't you think that there are 3,000 beauties here, and if you are not satisfied, you can also draft from all over the world. How's that, interested? ”
Lu Fei's face was slightly embarrassed, and he found that Zhou Wei's expression seemed to be smiling, and her bright and clear eyes were very penetrating, as if she could see through people's hearts.
...
Lu Fei has said a lot of lies and acted, because sometimes he has to pretend. But in front of Zhou Wei, he was a little unliarable.
Zhou Wei didn't force to ask, her face was smiling, her curved eyes were as bright as the moon, not only making people feel that they could perceive people's hearts, but also so beautiful that people couldn't bear to coax her. She reached out and gently touched her inky sideburns, and the ring on her finger reflected the luster in the light, just stabbing Lu Fei's eyes slightly.
He had no choice but to honestly confess: "Have you thought about it...... As soon as I entered the harem, I was inexplicably happy. ”
Originally, he really loved Zhou Wei in his heart, but he was still so interested when he found a large number of beauties, this feeling was the same as following his girlfriend into the girls' dormitory, which was even more refreshing and exciting than this metaphor, after all, girls in the girls' dormitory couldn't do it casually. When you see a beautiful woman, you can do whatever you want, and this kind of temptation really can't be hidden for men.
Zhou Wei still had a smile on her face: "I can understand that men are like this, especially powerful people, I have never seen an exception, who is not a third wife and four concubines." It's in your nature. ”
Lu Fei groaned: "But if Zhou Wei will be angry if he does that, I can still restrain myself." After all, those strange women are really not as good as you. ”
"No, I wouldn't do that." Zhou Wei smiled, "I don't want more people, I will be restrained." A man who is already satisfied, who feels that he has everything, has no ambition and desire, why should he continue to persevere to win? It's not enough to just do it for someone else. ”
Lu Fei sighed: "Zhou Wei is really a good woman, and women don't let her eyebrows go. ”
Zhou Wei's head tilted slightly, thinking about Lu Fei's words, but she shook her head and said, "I'm also a little woman, but I don't want to be the husband of a woman, I'm tired." I'm a little woman, and I want you to spoil me, I want to dominate you, I want you to love me alone, and I don't feel comfortable knowing that you love other women. I'm not happy with you hugging left and right.
But I'm watching Fei Ge'er come to the present step by step, and I'm happy to see you gradually go to a higher place, so I don't want to drag you down. I have to encourage you, because I am not satisfied and want more than you can give me. ”
Lu Fei looked at Zhou Wei's sparkling eyes, and really felt that women also have strong desires, but they are not the same as men.
He asked in a deep voice, "What else does Zhou Wei want?" ”
Her smile suddenly became a little playful: "I won't tell you!" ”
Lu Fei was stunned, helpless, and said with a sigh of relief: "Just think about it, there are tens of thousands of women in this palace, right?" I can't even look at them, let alone touch them...... When I entered the harem, I also had a little idea, and I felt that the women in the palace were really quite pitiful. ”
"Where is the pity?" Zhou Wei asked.
Lu Fei said: "I can't go out for almost my whole life, I have been locked up in this square place, and I have to intrigue, and most of them can't get the love of my husband." ”
Zhou Wei said: "You really think for others." But it's the same if they don't enter the palace, but if there is a little lintel, how can the wives and concubines go out casually? If you are a small family, not only can you not go out, but you also have to work tirelessly. In a high-ranking family, you don't have to compete for favor, and whoever can be sure of yourself will win; Moreover, what kind of person the husband is, and he has no choice in his appearance, conduct, or dealings...... Anyway, it's the same day, at least you don't have to worry about food and clothing in the palace, and you can still have fine clothes and food and glory if you have a little status? ”
Lu Fei thought for a while: "That's the same. ”
Zhou Wei said: "If you don't believe it, the next holy decree will allow some palace maids to leave the palace voluntarily, and there must be very few people who are willing to leave." ”
Lu Fei said: "The reason is that women can't make decisions for themselves. ”
Zhou Wei smiled and said, "Brother Fei'er is really right...... she looked Lu Fei up and down with a smile, "Your wives and concubines are because of good fate." ”
Lu Fei was a little embarrassed and said, "By the way, I have to send someone home to bring them to the palace first." ”
