Chapter 331: Prince of Ping'an
In the early years of the Apocalypse, the extremely weak prince ascended to the throne for the first time, opening the only era of the emperor of the Central Plains Empire.
At the beginning of his reign, the first emperor was full of spirit, and he had the ambition to clarify the universe through the mountains and rivers.
He couldn't tolerate someone more powerful than him standing in front of him, so he made a decision that he would regret for the rest of his life - to use the Sword Alliance's disciples to assassinate the Wei King Fushengye.
At that time, the Nine Great Sword Sects were uniting to support the First Emperor to rule the world.
Extremely weak, he secretly summoned thirteen elite disciples of the Nine Great Sword Sects in the Heavenly Apocalypse City Palace, and made an alliance with them to become dead soldiers.
These thirteen disciples of the Sword Alliance are from Wuchan Sword Gate, Tianwen Sword Gate, White Feather Sword Gate, Qianjian Gate, Sword Gate, Luo Shu Sword Gate, Guiyi Sword Gate, Taichu Sword Gate and Wenjian Villa.
But none of them are the top talents of their respective sword sects. Because at that time, the head and chief disciples of the Nine Great Sword Sects were all recalled by the sect to discuss a major matter, so they were all not in Apocalypse City.
The strength of these Sword Alliance disciples who stayed behind should not be underestimated, and they made decisions more radically without the person in charge.
The elders of the Sword Alliance once ordered their disciples to enter the Apocalypse City to protect the throne, and the emperor did not dare to disobey if he had a move.
That night, the moon was sparsely starry, the sky was blue, and the majestic wind blew the clouds and drifted across the palace.
The imperial garden of the palace was brightly lit, and the first emperor was entertaining thirteen meritorious sword league disciples, because it was a night banquet for martial arts people, and the only official invited to attend was Dazai Jiang Entropy.
As soon as the banquet began, Jiang Entropy felt that the atmosphere was wrong.
After the first emperor and a group of martial arts people drank heavily, they began to count the number of people who fell to the king of Wei.
Jiang Entropy's face became very ugly when he heard this, and the First Emperor signaled to him several times, but he didn't answer.
In the end, the First Emperor had a showdown with Jiang Entropy, he was going to assassinate the Wei King Fushengye tonight, and the thirteen masters of the Sword Alliance in front of him were the assassins of the dead.
Jiang Entropy raised the wine bottle and drank it all, and then threw the wine bottle at the feet of the First Emperor.
The First Emperor was trembling at Jiang Entropy's rude actions.
Jiang Entropy said: "What's wrong with being your emperor in peace?" ”
The First Emperor's face turned pale, and the bright moon above his head was obscured by a dark cloud.
There was a sound of "whoosh" in the courtyard.
The screams came one after another, and most of the golden-armored warriors were killed and injured in the blink of an eye.
Li Zhiyu led the soldiers of the New Army in black armor and rushed into the imperial garden of the palace from all directions.
The disciples of the Sword Sect saw that they were surrounded by groups, they were all a group of young teenagers, how could they be calm in the face of life and death in a hurry.
But when the young men saw the corpses of the golden-armored warriors bleeding all over the ground, the First Emperor looked at them with pleading eyes.
The blood in the hearts of this group of Sword Sect disciples was aroused.
They drew their swords one after another and accused Li Zhiyu of being a rebellious minister and thief.
Li Zhiyu waved his big hand with a cold face, and thousands of armor-piercing arrows roared past, and the thirteen sword disciples could not resist each other and were shot in the blink of an eye. Li Zhiyu beheaded the thirteen disciples of the Sword League one by one in front of the First Emperor, and two of them were injured and not dead and pleaded with the First Emperor, but the soldiers of the New Army beheaded them alive despite their howls and placed them all on the wine table.
Dazai Jiang Entropy turned a blind eye to this scene, just changed the table and still poured himself a drink.
Li Zhiyu said to his subordinates: "Dazai-sama is drunk, escort him home." ”
When the First Emperor saw Dazai Jiang Entropy, whom he trusted so much, and Li Zhiyu singing a double reed in front of him, his heart was both angry and ashamed.
Li Zhiyu didn't look at the First Emperor from beginning to end, as if the First Emperor didn't exist at all.
That night, the palace was completely purged by Li Zhiyu's New Army soldiers. The golden-armored warriors were all wiped out, and all the palace maids and eunuchs were screened.
Since then, Cheng Xue has served as the head of the harem, and moved the second intelligence department of the painting heart workshop to the underground secret room of the harem, constantly monitoring the first emperor's every move.
The new black-armored army from the Acropolis completely replaced the gold-armored warriors as the new Praetorian Guard, and Li Zhiyu commanded the 50,000 Praetorian Guards in Apocalypse City, and concurrently served as the commander of the Praetorian Guard in the Imperial Palace.
After that night, the First Emperor had no one in the palace who had any close confidants.
The extremely weak princes who were the First Emperor were all ostracized in Apocalypse City, and of course most of the other members of the Imperial Family were not doing well.
Among the royal descendants, only the younger sister of the extremely weak prince, Princess Xianwan, is quite free.
This delicate princess is over twenty-one years old, and the extremely weak prince has not recruited a horse for her.
Because the reason why Princess Xianwan was able to live a decent life in Apocalypse City was because she was taken care of by King Wei Fushengye.
And the reason why King Wei Fushengye treats Princess Xianwan differently is because Princess Xianwan was friendly with the deceased Princess Aya when she was young.
After Princess Aya died in childbirth, she left the little prince of peace to live in Beilu Academy.
Fushengye forbade the First Emperor to assign another adoptive mother to the little prince of Ping'an, and also forbade the First Emperor to visit him every day.
The little prince of Ping'an, who was waiting to be fed, grew up under the care of Princess Xianwan, and Li Zhien, a professor in the academy here, also helped to take care of her.
Therefore, although the little prince of peace has a respected status, he lived a very lonely childhood.
The person closest to him was Princess Xianwan, followed by General Li's wife, Li Zhien.
Everyone's childhood will have some unsatisfactory aspects, whether they are born in rich and poor families.
What the little prince of Ping An longed for most in his childhood was to be accompanied by his mother like Li Jirou.
Li Jirou is the daughter of General Li Zhiyu and Li Zhien, and she is the playmate of the little prince of Ping'an.
In Beilu Academy, the little prince of peace has only one playmate of the same age, and the two children are happy every day with a bamboo horse.
Although Li Jirou is young, he knows that the status of the little prince of Ping An is respected, so he is very humble to him.
The little prince of peace is far away from the palace magnates, often accompanied by his master, is humble, and never takes pride in his identity. He treats Li Jirou as his own sister, and always affectionately calls her Xiaorou.
The two children grew up in the academy and were influenced by the strong learning atmosphere of the academy since childhood.
Although they were young, they were able to read and write under the careful guidance of the Master, and occasionally wrote small poems.
Li Jirou is even more familiar with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting at a young age.
The two are like a team of golden boys and girls.
In the early winter of the fifth year of the Apocalypse, the imperial capital ushered in the first light snow.
The Beilu Academy is covered in silver, and the white seems to be printed on a piece of rice paper.
"Ahem!"
The little prince ran to the plum garden of the academy and coughed eagerly.
Li Jirou, who was wearing a small green jacket and red dress, also ran after him, patting the back of the little prince of peace with her little hand.
"Your Highness, have you coughed up blood again!"
The little prince of peace wiped his mouth with his cuffs, raised his head to look at Li Jirou and said with a smile: "It's okay!" I didn't vomit much this time, and I guess I won't die this winter. ”
Li Jirou said: "I heard my mother say that you are about to leave!" ”
The little prince of peace looked at the withered vines covered with a layer of snow in the corner of the wall and said, "When the last leaf on the green vine falls, I will leave the world!" ”
Li Jirou saw that the withered vine was only swaying with three or two yellow leaves swaying after being beaten by the frost, and she said with tears in her eyes: "You won't die!" ”
The little prince of peace said: "Have you ever seen a child vomiting blood every day? In fact, it's good to be dead, you can see my mother when you die! ”
Li Jirou cried anxiously: "Your Royal Highness, brother, don't die, if you die, I will be the only one left in this academy!" ”
In the forest path of the North Foot Academy, a graceful and luxurious young woman walked with a red paper umbrella and stepped on the shallow snow.
When she walked in, she saw the conversation between the two children, and frowned: "Rou'er, what are you talking to Your Highness again?" ”
This young woman is Li Jirou's mother, Li Zhien.
Li Jirou was taken aback when she saw her mother coming. Other people's families are strict fathers and loving mothers, but their families are strict mothers and loving fathers.
Li Jirou's mother is extremely strict with her daughter's discipline, this is because her daughter often plays with the little prince of Ping'an, and she is worried that poor child discipline will delay the growth of the little prince of Ping'an.
When the little prince of peace saw Li Jirou's mother coming, he said with a normal face: "Mrs. Li, don't blame Xiaorou, we are just playing a game." ”
Li Zhien and Yan Yuese said to the little prince of peace: "I have seen Your Highness, may I ask what game you are playing?" ”
The little prince of peace said: "It's that game, I pretended to be about to die, Xiaorou came to comfort me, and then I was alive again." ”
Li Zhien was stunned when he heard this, and Li Jirou was so frightened that he hid behind the little prince of peace. "What's so fun about this, why don't you play shuttlecock kicking? Didn't I just make you a new pair of shuttlecocks? ”
The little prince of peace said: "Kicking shuttlecock is played by girls, it's boring." I like archery, but I don't have a bow standing tall yet, and I don't have an arrow standing there, and when I grow up, I'll definitely practice archery. ”
Li Zhien said: "This is easy to do, I will make you a small bow and arrow tomorrow, so that you can use it now." ”
The little prince of peace said happily when he heard it: "That's great, Mrs. Li don't break her word." ”
Li Zhien said: "How could I deceive Your Highness!" It's just that the game you just played is too scary, so don't play it again. ”
The little prince of peace said: "Our game is also very interesting, Xiaorou saved me, I have to repay her!" ”
Seeing the young heart of the little prince of peace, Li Zhien couldn't help but ask curiously: "How do you repay her!" ”
The little prince of peace said: "If I can grow up alive, I will let Xiaorou be my imperial concubine!" ”
Li Zhien's face changed when he heard this, and he quickly glanced around, and saw that there was no one around.
She squatted down and said to the little prince of peace: "It's good for you to keep this in your heart, but don't tell it to outsiders, it's not good for outsiders to hear it." ”
The little prince of peace said: "Why is it not good?" ”
Li Zhien said: "You are still young, and I can't tell." Anyway, you can just write down my words. ”
The little prince of peace said: "Then if Aunt Xianwan comes, can I say it?" ”
Li Zhien said nervously: "Princess Xianwan can't say that she is here. ”
The little prince of peace said: "Why? ”
Li Zhien said: "If you say Xiaorou, I won't be able to play with you anymore." ”
The little prince of peace said: "Why? ”、
Li Zhien said: "Because you are the prince, there are countless kings and grandsons in the Apocalypse City who want to marry their daughters to you as the imperial concubine. If they know that you like Xiaorou, they will come to suppress Xiaorou. ”
The little prince of peace said: "But I only like Xiaorou!" ”
Li Zhien said: "That's because you haven't seen other girls yet!" After you see the daughters of those kings and grandsons, you won't like Xiaorou anymore. Because our Xiaorou is just an ordinary girl, there is nothing worthy of His Royal Highness's nostalgia. ”
Xiao Rou's eyes were ruddy when she heard this, as if she had been wronged.
The little prince of peace was at a loss when he heard this: "There are so many girls in Apocalypse City who are better than Xiaorou, should I let Aunt Xianwan take me to see it." ”
When Xiao Rou heard this, she cried and shook off the little prince of peace and said, "You go to Apocalypse City!" I won't play with you anymore! ”
The little prince of peace was a little dumbfounded when he saw Xiaorou crying and leaving!
