Volume 2 The Last Days Chapter 131 The Emperor's Grace is Mighty
……
His Majesty the Emperor's heart was full of despair, if these words had not come out of the mouth of his own mother and the Queen Mother, he would definitely find someone to kill the other party, and destroy the Ten Clans in order to relieve his hatred.
But his mother obviously didn't have much malice towards him, and she didn't have the idea of usurping the throne, otherwise the old lady wouldn't have happily handed over the authority of the underworld to him back then.
Since the old lady would not harm herself, the emperor had no choice but to listen to it.
His Majesty the Emperor asked weakly and helplessly: "How does the queen mother think she should give the Lu family a fief?" ”
The Empress Dowager said disdainfully: "Look at your little family, you will seal it if you seal it, you can seal it as you want, and first seal the sixteen states of Longpeng to Lu Zhengxing......
"Ahh As soon as they heard the Queen Mother's words, His Majesty the Emperor and Jiang Taishi let out an exclamation almost at the same time.
You must know that for the underworld, the sixteen states of Longteng are the core areas of the underworld, and some people even say that it is where the dragon veins of the underworld are located.
It is also the place where the economic, cultural and political development of the underworld is most developed, and there is a famous person in history who once wrote a poem:
The underworld is stormy, and the vicissitudes are several times;
Although the realm of the gods is vast, the dragon soars in the world;
Sixteen states of beacon fire, war in the sky;
It was a heroic place, and the pitch moved.
What is said in this poem refers to the sixteen states of Longteng, which is located in the center of the underworld continent, and the rise and fall of the underworld since ancient times have been due to this.
As the saying goes, Long Teng'an, the world is peaceful.
It is said that it is like what the poem says, when the sixteen states of Longteng are in flames, even heaven and earth, Qiankun will tremble.
The people of the underworld, all the inhabitants of the Sixteen States of Longteng, are very proud.
The four words of the sons and daughters of Longteng are like nobles in the underworld, especially some families in the sixteenth of Longteng, which have a long history and a very high status in the Ming Realm.
People go to high places, water flows to low places, and slowly the sixteen states of the Dragon Court have condensed almost all the noble people in the underworld.
You must know that in the underworld, there is only one continent, and this continent is called the underworld continent, with a total area of about 90 million square kilometers.
The Sixteen Prefectures occupy nearly 30% of the entire continent, with lakes, rivers, mountains, plains and fertile fields and so on nearly 25 million square kilometers.
The royal family has built countless gardens here, and with the latest technology and the highest technology learned from the outside world, there are corresponding scientific research institutions and industrial entities here.
While these institutions are extremely secretive, they are clearly and openly secret.
Therefore, there are often planes taking off and landing in the sky above the people, and this place is also known as Longteng Shenzhou.
With such a large area sealed, there are less than 70 million square kilometers left in the world that His Majesty the Emperor can govern, and the emperor grinned and cried and said: "Is it too much?" ”
The Queen Mother is the Queen Mother, glanced at His Majesty the Emperor with disdain, and immediately hit the life of His Majesty the Emperor: "Now the Yang Realm is in danger, if the Yang Realm has completely collapsed, our Underworld will be finished, and it is already a matter of life and death, for ordinary people to be alive, it is a miracle for you to keep your throne, there is life, there is your throne, at least you still have the title of emperor in this life, are you still not satisfied?" It's better than being replaced! ”
Jiang Taishi knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head.
His approach is very smart, you must know that the emperor was taught a lesson by the old lady, and this should be stared at by the courtiers at the emperor, it should be so faceless, after all, the emperor is no longer a three-year-old child.
Jiang Taishi really admires this queen mother in his heart, who said that women have long hair and short knowledge, the queen mother is definitely a heroine among women.
Judging the situation, understanding the severity, and hitting the nail on the head, it is much stronger than His Majesty the Emperor's insight and courage.
Taishi Jiang suddenly had a whimsical idea in his heart at this time, if the Queen Mother was regent, it was estimated that there might be great hope in the underworld.
Taishi Jiang still thought in his heart that if the Queen Mother came out, I was afraid that this Wang Pingfeng would not be able to be so arrogant.
The Queen Mother sighed and said, "Son, you have also been an emperor for more than ten years, why can't you look at many things like this?" The ancient sages said that the hall full of gold and jade can be guarded, although the world cannot be kept, then the world is not yours, how much can be kept, that is your own. ”
Hearing this, His Majesty the Emperor was shocked, like an initiation, and his mouth suddenly opened.
Yes, even if you are given a room full of gold and silver treasures, you can't keep them, it's better to give them away.
At least you can still settle for personal favors, and if you forcibly take possession of these things, you may die an ugly death.
Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor was a little enlightened, the Queen Mother continued to say bitterly: "Since you have come to ask me, I will tell me what I think; In addition to what I said earlier, to divide the sixteen states of Longteng to Lu Zhengxing, you also have to divide the 12 cities of Yuntian around our Jingshi to Lu Lifan and his wife, once Lu Zhengxing gets married, you should think about sealing the rest of the things that should be sealed to Lu Zhengxing's alien daughter-in-law, so that they can save the last days, can they not work hard? In this way, the alien royal family may take good care of our underworld for the sake of this! ”
Shock!
Astound!
Suffering......
Understanding, enlightenment!
The expression on His Majesty's face changed in a series of changes at this time, like the scenery of the four seasons of the year.
Seeing that her son and the princess seemed to have opened their minds, the Queen Mother said with a lineup: "If you want to take it, you must first take it." If you are willing to give up, only by giving up can you get this truth, do you want me to teach you? ”
So that night, in the Qinzheng Palace, the Empress Dowager hung the curtain, His Majesty the Emperor sat in the array, the Taishi pressed the array, and under the fright of more than a dozen important ministers, it was finally decided to seal the 16 states of Longteng to Lu Zhengxing, and the 12 cities of Yuntian around the capital were also divided into Lu Wang Ye and his wife, and Wang Pingfeng was declared to be the Marquis of Rongguo.
His Majesty the Emperor announced this decision loudly, although in the process of announcing it, the Emperor felt like he had plucked out his heart and liver.
But the emperor still behaved like a spring breeze and smiled.
The Taishi stood beside him with a numb expression, he knew that he couldn't show a happy look at this time, otherwise the emperor would definitely hate himself in private.
But I sighed in my heart that the emperor's face-saving work was really visible, and the queen mother was really well taught.
It's just that at this time, the Taishi is pondering one thing, obviously it hurts like digging out his heart and liver, and he smiles so brightly on his face, if this continues, will the emperor get a disease like schizophrenia.
The reason why Jiang Jie was so concerned about the emperor's safety was because under the previous emperor, all his intrigues and tricks could not be carried out, and only under the management of the current emperor could Jiang Taishi be like a fish in water.
Jiang Taishi has already figured out the emperor's temper and the emperor's vacancy, so he can make a lot of money, it doesn't matter how crazy Jiang Taishi is, he has already made enough money anyway.
However, the ministers in the audience were still very shocked, because many of them were counting on the Longteng Sixteen States to bring some benefits to them.
Who wouldn't want to go there and scrape more, it's said that a barefoot walk back from a trip can get some gold foam on the soles of their feet.
Now this land is going to be distributed to the Lu family, which makes everyone embarrassed, this is simply cutting off their major financial route.
The important ministers in the audience were shocked, and everyone was not very comfortable in their hearts, but the most exaggerated thing was that two of the so-called important ministers wept bitterly when they heard such a decision.
These two are notoriously stingy and greedy, without the Longteng Sixteen States, there will be no money, for them this is simply more uncomfortable than dying, and their father and mother are even more uncomfortable, so their crying like a mourner is completely justified.
The surrounding ministers naturally understood that the reason why these two were so sad was because they had a lot of power in these fiefdoms.
And in recent years, these two have made a lot of fame in Longteng Sixteen, invested a lot of money, and are waiting to recover the cost, so how can they be good?
Of course, if it is not about oneself, it can be hung high, but if it is about oneself and interests, how can you not jump out and make a fuss?
Didn't the emperor still seek death and life before?
What's more, the two important ministers under him who are not too highly conscious.
As the two important ministers fiercely argued with their generous statements, whispers also sounded among the other gods around them, and Jiang Taishi repeatedly reprimanded, but obviously failed to calm the scene.
His Majesty the Emperor also looked helpless, he peeked at the Queen Mother sitting behind the beaded curtain, but the Queen Mother didn't even blink her eyelids and ignored her indifferently.
After tossing for half an hour, the Taishi's voice was hoarse, and the emperor was a little drowsy.
At this time, there was a shout from the Queen Mother: "Who else wants to jump out and make trouble?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the ministers in the audience suddenly became quiet, but after only a few breaths, the two important ministers who were kneeling on the ground began to nag again.
The Queen Mother said very gently: "Someone is coming, pull these two ministers out of the door and behead me!" ”
Hearing this command, the emperor just woke up from his daze, and saw two masters jumping out of the queen mother's side, like an eagle catching a chicken, and directly carried out the two long-winded so-called important ministers.
Before everyone's eyelids could close, they heard two screams outside.
Kill chickens and monkeys, kill people and stand up.
Soon a warrior came back with two bloody human heads, and the courtiers in the hall turned pale with fright.
The remaining dozen or so important ministers in the main hall, one of them was like a sifting chaff, trembling all over.
The emperor's authority is strict, and the companion is like a tiger, it has always been like this, but today they just feel a little bloodier.
The rest of the living ministers also have a number in their hearts.
It seems that the royal family is the king of the eight pounds this time, but this is really a bit terrifying.
The two adults who just made a generous statement just hung up like this?
In this case, who would dare to say anything about these important ministers?
One by one, they fell to their knees and shouted long live to express their strong support for the emperor's order.
The matter was decided, but the relevant rituals, decrees, etc. still needed to be prepared, so the specific things had to be started on the second day.
The Queen Mother didn't look at the ministers in the store, and even his son, His Majesty the Emperor, didn't pay attention, and even walked away.
The queen mother was not happy at all, killing people and establishing authority, but she saw that when the emperor's land was deprived when it was divided, the courtiers only considered their own interests.
The two dead guys just objected because they thought they had less profits, and they didn't elaborate on the relevant issues from the perspective of the royal interests at all, otherwise the Queen Mother might not really want to kill them.
Leaving behind the shocked ministers and His Majesty the Emperor who finally came to his senses.
After that, His Majesty the Emperor looked at the audience with a mocking face, and said: "There are still two people dead, you don't dare to speak, continue to speak!" Tell all your truths, and if you say it well, you can kill a few if you don't say it well! ”
In this case, who would dare to speak?
The only one in the audience who knew it was Jiang Taishi, who thought that he would have to go to Wang Pingfeng overnight now.
If you want to change the decision of the emperor and the queen mother, it is definitely a mantis arm blocking the car, and it is not enough to cut off a few heads.
