The palace of Jingguo is located on the northern side, where the terrain is on the high side, and this height is just the right height, although it cannot overlook the entire capital, but it also prevents the entire palace from being snooped on from outside the imperial city.

A high-rise pavilion was built in the palace, which was a place to store classics, and it was only a place for the children of the royal family and those who had great merit to read.

The whole pavilion is simple and elegant in design, and looks solemn.

This one has a total of nine floors, starting from the eighth floor and belongs to only the emperor.

At this time, a middle-aged man with a grim expression and an extraordinary temperament, dressed in a nine python dragon robe, looked at the sparks in the capital by the railing. Behind him stood a white-faced and beardless eunuch.

This is the emperor of Jingguo, Emperor Jingzhi, and behind him is the eunuch Wutooth who has served him since he was a child.

"Old thing, you say, did I do something wrong?" Emperor Jingzhi's eyes were hazy and a little sad, and he asked slowly.

"Your Majesty is right. Toothless said respectfully, but his tone was extremely firm.

"Heh......" Emperor Jingzhi smiled bitterly, still looking at the night of the capital, and then said slowly: "The road is long, it's a pity." I was forced to do it at first...... However, I was indeed wrong. ”

Emperor Jingzhi looked lonely, and after saying this, he lowered his head gently.

"Your Majesty!" Toothless knelt on his knees, looked distressed, and said in a hoarse voice: "I think of Wei before Jingguo, after ten emperors and three queens, the roots are fluttering, and Qi Yue has frequent wars, the sky does not bless Wei, the earth dragon turns over, and the fire dragon sticks out his tongue, causing the people to be miserable." The emperors of our Wei State worked hard to govern the country and loved the people like sons, and finally won the unification of the people during the reign of the first emperor and the abundant treasury. The first emperor took it as his responsibility that the people of the world could have no worries about food and clothing, and destroyed the harsh government, collected the violence and the Yue, and unified Kyushu. His Majesty has been conscientious and conscientious for decades, and has succeeded the will of the emperor, putting the people of the world first and paying taxes lightly. Now the world of my Jingguo is too peaceful and happy, thriving, although the three generations of Lu Changfeng have contributed to my Jingguo, but how can the royal family of Jingguo not spend their lives for several generations for the people!"

Jing Zhi smiled when he heard this, turned to look at Toothless who was kneeling on the ground, waved his sleeves to signal him to get up, and said, "You old thing, the older you get, the better you can talk." In the eyes of outsiders, this dragon chair is what everyone wants! Those people are saying that our Wei family has occupied this position for too long. If it is stable today, some people even say, I am not benevolent, this position should be replaced. ”

Hearing this, Toothless lowered his head and wiped his tears: "The world always thinks that the dragon chair is easy to sit on, but how do you know that Your Majesty reviews and folds day and night, and has to grieve the hardships of the treacherous ministers for the sake of the dawn people. If you want the slave to say, Your Majesty, you are not Your Majesty, those people are Your Majesty......"

"Haha......" Emperor Jingzhi did not get angry because of some of Toothless's transgressions, but let out a hearty laugh, he pointed his finger at Toothless, nodded, and said, "You dog slave, I am not as good as you say." ”

After Emperor Jingzhi finished speaking, he looked at the railing again, and was silent for a long time before saying: "It's wrong, it's wrong." I'm afraid you never thought that even the academies of Qi and Yue would stand up and speak for Lu Changfeng when something happened to him, right? Speaking of which, Lu Changfeng's two generations were the direct murderers of their people and the royal family. ”

"Alas...... The Emperor was not wrong in what he said to me, the people of the world were tired of civil wars, and they all longed for peace. Those cultivators also made a lot of efforts when the emperor was fighting. The national teacher also told me that the current period is no longer suitable for war. ”

Emperor Jingzhi's expression became more and more lonely.

This world is not just the person who holds the power of the army to speak, he is not the only one who has the final say. Not to mention that the restraint of the power of his relatives and families made him stumble, and the sneezing of those cultivators was very likely to make him fall from the chair into hell. Fortunately, there is a rule among practitioners not to participate in court politics. Otherwise, this emperor will be more of a puppet than a puppet!

"Your Majesty......" Toothless stepped forward, Jingzhi was the master he had served since he was a child, whether it was his temperament or mood, he could feel it very deeply. A bloody case at the gate of Lu Changfeng had already made the emperor feel the crisis and frustration. He naturally also knew that these pressures were actually only from the national teacher Chen Qingfeng.

"Your Majesty, if Chen Qingfeng dares to be unfavorable to you, the old slave will fight for this life to cultivate and die with him!" Toothless's eyes were firm, and the sound that came out of his thin sharp voice was like steel nails smashing into stones.

"Huh...... Naturally, the national teacher will not make a move against me, and even if he makes a move against me, you will not be his opponent. Speaking of which, everything about the national teacher is based on the righteousness of the human race, and I am just for the Jingguo founded by my Great Wei. In terms of pattern, I am naturally ashamed of myself, and I know this very well in my heart!"

"In this world, there is never right or wrong, some are just some things that are beneficial to oneself from different angles, which are wrong in the eyes of others, but correct in the eyes of those who do things. Let's not talk about that, let's talk about what my crown prince and those princes are doing, right?" Keiji waved his hand, stopping Toothless from speaking.

Toothless lowered his head and thought about it, but after hesitation, he still spoke: "The crown prince and the seven princes are fighting a little harder, and the other princes are nothing." ”

"Oh~ After Lao Qi returned to the capital from the burning city a year ago, I looked at him a lot more calmly, but he lacked some political means. The boss, however, was too courting the Chinese courtiers and had less of his own opinions. Now that we are born in a peaceful and prosperous era, I am afraid that the war will stop for a long time. Jingji's eyes became confused.

The crown prince Qiuyang came from the queen, he was very well-behaved and clever when he was young, but after a long time, he was turned into a pedantic person by the etiquette rules of those scholars, he was polite and polite, and the article was not bad, but it was a pity that he was weak and too dependent on others.

The seventh prince Qiu Cheng likes martial arts, is in the military camp all the year round, worships under the account of the great general Cheng Liben, has extraordinary military talents, decisively kills, but is too indifferent to the world. Three years ago, in a drunken and angry anger in the capital, the son of Wen Xianghou, the minister of the central court, was beheaded outside the imperial city, and Emperor Jingzhi was furious and sent him to burn the city to defend it.

Keiji rubbed his temples, and the double exhaustion made him suffer from headaches again.

Toothless took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, it's time for you to go back and rest, it's windy here, and it's not suitable to blow for a long time." ”

Toothless naturally knows what Jingzhi is worried about, speaking of these princes, their temperament is really not like the emperor in front of them. In the future, Jingguo's country will be handed over to them, and I don't know what will happen.

Jing Zhi waved his hand, sighed slowly: "Jingguo's country, I don't know which of them can take over and make it better." ”

Suddenly, he frowned and asked, "How is Eleven now?"

Toothless was stunned for a moment, the eleventh prince Qiu Hong has always been disliked by the lord in front of him, especially five years ago, Qiu Hong directly hit the palace to question Emperor Jingzhi's handling of Lu Changfeng, and since then, in exchange for Emperor Jingzhi's bad feelings. The eleventh prince was friendly with the three princes, and he went to the burning city partly for fun, and partly because the third prince instructed him to go. But Prince Qiuhong didn't know exactly what happened since he went, and he insisted on asking the three princes to go together to speak for Lu Changfeng, but the three princes refused. Later, his contacts with the three princes gradually faded, and he no longer participated in anything in court politics.

Toothless didn't understand why Emperor Jingzhi suddenly mentioned this neglected prince, and thought for a long time before saying, "Eleventh prince...... There's been no movement lately, and it's very flat...... In addition to entering the palace to ask Liu Guifei to say goodbye and chatting with him, it was nothing, as soon as the eleventh prince entered the palace, Liu Guifei was a lot happier, and heard that the concubine was always amused by the eleventh prince. ”

"Hmm...... Eleven is also filial piety, with a wide heart, a generous and kind temperament, and affection and righteousness, but sometimes too stubborn. It is said that he had a very good personal relationship with a pawn in the burning city, and he was also called a brother, heh...... My son has become someone else's little brother. Speaking of Qiu Hong's somewhat ridiculous move, Emperor Jing Zhi suddenly became in a better mood.

Toothless frowned, during this time, he had clearly felt His Majesty's dissatisfaction with the crown prince and the seventh prince, and now he suddenly mentioned the prince Qiuhong, who had been neglected for many years, could it be that there was something changing in this court?

Toothless didn't dare to answer, and raised his head lower.

Sure enough, Emperor Jingzhi then said: "In terms of talent, eleven is inferior to the eldest and seventh, and in terms of temperament...... Not...... It's still okay......"

Emperor Jingzhi was silent for a long time, as if he was struggling and hesitating, and after a long time, he tilted his head and said to Toothless: "Old Eleven, I have worked hard in the past few years, and I have done a good job in controlling the river and disaster relief, I should have a title, how do you say that King Ning'an is the king?"

Yes, these three words mean a lot.

It can be understood that he can become the next Emperor of Jingguo.

Now Jingguo can be regarded as a country and a country of peace and security, and after the national policy of emphasizing agriculture and paying taxes lightly, the situation is stable. At this time, what is more needed is a benevolent monarch to guard the country.

This is a very important signal.

Toothless was slightly shocked in his heart, and after a while, he still bowed his head and said respectfully: "Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Well, then it's decided, tomorrow I will send the plaque to his house, and divide Ning'an Town under his jurisdiction, anyway, doesn't he also like rivers and lakes, Ning'an Town is also a river and lake, or those old things are dirty places, and let me see his ability!" Emperor Jingzhi said lightly.

"Your Majesty, Ning'an Town seems to be an ordinary place, but it is also a place where the dragon and the tiger are hidden, there is no shortage of people who are overhauled, and the old slave is worried that the eleventh prince has more than enough heart and not enough strength. "Toothless worried.

When he learned that the National Teacher would take some actions after the return of a sick scholar, Emperor Jing Zhi had already noticed something. The problem of head disease is getting worse now, and it's time to make a decision.

Emperor Jing Zhi put his hands behind his back, walked a few steps and said: "Since Eleven has a relationship with him, let them contact him by themselves! It is expected that the kid will not dare to act too perversely under the warning of the national teacher, then his way is very likely to be in contact with the old eleven! If Old Eleven can stand the test, why don't I hand over this country to him? He is also my son, and the country of this Jingguo is still my Wei family!"

Jing Zhi turned around again, glanced coldly at the toothless who lowered his head, and said in a cold tone: "Hmph! At the beginning of Lu Changfeng's incident, those ministers of the humerus of mine took advantage of my consideration and hesitation to make their own decisions, and I was saddled with a faint monarch! I have been conscientious since I succeeded to the throne, and I dare not go beyond the political affairs of the country, but I don't want to still have this stain a hundred years later!" Since they don't let me get better, I naturally won't let them stay comfortable, I can't attack them, but I don't have to stop others from attacking them, not to mention that person is the person that the national teacher fancies!"

The eunuch is not allowed to participate, he can accompany Jingzhi for so long, in addition to loyalty, there is also not interference in the government affairs.

"I've left it to you, to be secretive, very secretive! I also want to borrow his hand to pave the way for Eleven!Also, I should let Qiu Hong lose weight, the dignified prince of Jingguo, fat like that will damage the royal family's appearance! Secretly send a master to teach him, at least give me a healthy physique!" Jingzhi clenched his fists, made a decision that affected the political movement of the court, and then solemnly said to Wuya: "That master, if you want to be loyal, you must be able to protect Eleven Zhouquan." By the way, secretly give Eleven a hint, although Ning'an Town is under his jurisdiction, but if the time is not enough, don't move, now is not the time for him to get a share of the big meat of Ning'an Town, you will arrange for him to deal with the royal source plan, and familiarize himself with everything in Ning'an Town as soon as possible. ”

"Yes!" replied Toothless. Shocked in his heart, he couldn't imagine that a bloody case in front of the Marshal's Mansion could stir up such a big storm, so that Emperor Jingzhi had the idea of abdicating, and even decided to pave the way for Prince Qiuhong and send someone to protect him!

This capital, I'm afraid it's really going to change!

When Toothless was stunned, Emperor Jingzhi had already strode downstairs, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, and hurriedly followed the footsteps.
