Chapter 92: I want to be the First Empress of the Ages
Ruyun was very excited about Dugu Xue's return, which made Cheng Jin feel like a great enemy.
"It's a pity that Ruyun and Cheng Jin are in love, and they have made a private decision for life, and there is no play for you."
Linghu Su teased Dugu Xue, and the hero with a frosty face didn't care, only smiled faintly. Perhaps, in this princess's mansion, and even in the entire capital, only Ling Husu can enter his eyes.
After signing a princess mansion treaty, Dugu Xue became Linghu Su's secret bodyguard, and generally would not show up, except in a pinch.
If the contents of this treaty were to be seen by outsiders, it would cause an uproar.
Dugu Xue wrote: If the princess has never married, he is willing to protect his side.
This sentence can be understood in another way, that is, Duguxue is willing to become the No. 1 spare tire of Linghu Su Tianzi.
Ling Hu Su showed a very touched emotion, in fact, he mourned silently for this child in his heart, he Ling Hu Su would rather die alone than marry someone else.
Many people in the mansion will not be more angry, and the cold Dugu Xue is equivalent to nothing, and the contribution to the heat of the princess's mansion is negative.
In the half month that the old emperor was sober, everything was as usual, which made Hu Su rarely relaxed, and continued to make his own full arrangements every day, only occasionally being called into the palace to discuss some events with the old emperor.
The firearms department was soon established, with Linghu Su serving as Shangshu, Zhang Wenyu and Lu Yi serving as the left and right servants respectively.
After these two people got the news, they hurried to the capital, and even the emperor didn't want to see them, so they took the hundreds of people that Ling Husu had prepared a long time ago, as well as a map, to choose a site outside the city.
Zhang Wenyu didn't bring anything with him in the mountain behind the Qingtian Temple, for him, as long as he had resources and manpower, anything could be built quickly.
The Ministry of Firearms ordered Hu Su to grasp it with one hand, which was different from the Propaganda Department, which was a sharp weapon that he had to hold in his hands, and no one was allowed to interfere. Once you lose control, it means losing the right to speak in this country. In Ling Husu's opinion, the newly formed firearms department is more important than the dark guard.
Linghu Su's princess mansion has accumulated a lot of information, which is reported by the secret guard every day, perhaps because of the old emperor's orders, he will give Ling Husu, the holder of the secret guard order, a copy. But Ling Husu doesn't know how to read, he's busy!
"The sword is pointing upwards, don't rush, slow down."
Linghu Su was teaching money to smoke and practice swords, and Dugu Xue was sitting in the pavilion next to him drinking, enjoying himself.
Fei Yan practiced ordinary swordsmanship, which was more than enough for Hu Su to teach her, but Fei Yan had a poor talent in sword practice, and she couldn't learn the essentials for a long time. She seems to be more accustomed to using whips and doesn't know where she got her practice.
"Brother Su Xue, the seventh princess is tired, how about you teach me?"
Fei Yan practiced lifelessly, squinted at Ling Husu's expression as if he was impatient, and took this opportunity to sneak next to Dugu Xue.
Dugu Xue's name was too loud, and he took Su Xue as a pseudonym. Its "Su" comes from Linghu Su.
"I'm not tired!"
Linghu Su understands that this girl has taken a fancy to Duguxue.
It is no wonder that Duguxue is handsome, elegant, personable, about thirty years old, and is the most attractive age group for men. If it weren't for Ling Husu, who was not a real woman, maybe she would have fallen into it.
However, Duguxue can't say hot or cold to Fei Yan, she treats her with the affection of a little sister, and if she asks for it, she will definitely agree.
Dugu Xue glanced at Ling Husu, who was taking the handkerchief of Ruyun to wipe his hands, and he was indeed tired.
"Okay, I'll teach you, what do you want to learn?"
"The Seventh Princess said that you taught her the Flowing Snow Sword Technique, is it okay for you to teach me this too?"
Dugu Xue looked stunned, and the expression on her face changed myriadly, dull, hesitant, and decisively......
He shook his head and said, "I'll teach you Luoying's swordsmanship, you can read it first." ”
Dugu Xue flew out, automatically pulled out the sword with her and followed her side, and when she landed, the sword was already in her hand.
"Luoying swordsmanship has a total of three sword techniques, look at it."
Dugu Xue danced, and Ling Hu Su could see at a glance that this was a woman's swordsmanship, which was very beautiful and elegant, not like a murderous sword, but more like a performance.
Fei Yan was obsessed with it, and didn't notice Dugu Xue's emotional changes.
Later, Linghu Su asked Dugu Xue why he didn't teach Fei Yanliuxue swordsmanship. He said that this set of swordsmanship is actually an ancestral tradition, and it can only be passed on to the person he likes. So, no matter where Ling Husu went in the future and how powerful he became, he would always remember this set of swordsmanship and never discarded it. I also remember Dugu Xue, a peerless swordsman who came and went high and wanton.
On the ninth day of December, there were already signs of heavy snow in the capital, and the strong wind from the north blew the ancient trees along the moat to the east and west.
At three o'clock, the old emperor died.
Linghu Su was so shocked that he sat on the bed for a long time and didn't come back to his senses, his head seemed to be empty, such a feeling had never been there, like sadness, like relief, mixed tastes.
The summons eunuch from the palace was crying, and Ling Hu Su scolded him: "My father is dying, don't cry." ”
As an emperor, he is already considered to be a long life.
Ling Husu was in a hurry to dress up under Ruyun's service, he needed to wear a regular princess dress, not men's clothes.
did not take the sedan chair from the palace, Ling Husu rode directly on horseback and galloped towards the palace.
He was the first to arrive at the Shangqing Palace except for the harem, but unfortunately, he still couldn't see the old emperor for the last time.
Su Liu's eyes were red from crying, and he held Linghu Su and refused to let go, like a swimming fish that had lost his water, and it was difficult to breathe.
Ling Husu's heart was panicked, and his eyes were red when he was affected by the queen mother, but he didn't shed tears.
Looking at the bed through the gap, the old man, who had been kind and kind in the past, lay upright, silent, and peaceful, and should have died without pain.
"When your father was dying, he instructed Xu Yi to hand over the command of the Imperial Forest Army to your eldest brother, and also let you help your eldest brother ascend the throne."
Linghu Su sighed in his heart, what does this mean, is it possible, the old emperor has changed his mind these days, thinking that he should still adhere to orthodoxy. After all, girls can't bear the fortunes of Chen Guoguo and can't suppress the ministers.
Ling Husu understood that the old emperor gave up on him at the last moment, thinking about it like this, he was inexplicably not so uncomfortable in his heart, in the final analysis, the old emperor failed to overcome the moral obstacles in his heart. Even if Ling Husu behaved well and perfectly in the past two months, gender discrimination could not be overcome.
Suddenly a little discouraged, it is better to continue to explore the rivers and lakes, or simply help Shu Qin, so that he can also get a chance to leave.
Once Ling Husu's elder brother ascended the throne, it was difficult for Ling Husu to get enough rights to build the equipment he left.
At this time, there were only two ways, one was to leave Chen Guo and go to Shu Qin or Mo Zheng. The second is to directly seize the throne by force.
However, how to make Hu Su do it, no matter which one he chooses, he is in a dilemma.
When Linghu Su was in reverie, Xu Yi came over and summoned Linghu Su and Su Liu to the back hall.
"Queen Mother, Your Royal Highness the Seventh Princess, Your Majesty's dying words are not credible, but they are just to paralyze the four princes. He had already expected that there would be a fight between the four princes, and in order to prevent you from becoming the target of the public, let them fight on their own first, and you will reap the benefits of the fisherman. ”
Linghu Su suddenly realized, but he didn't expect the old emperor to put his sons together before he died.
When the crown prince takes control of the Imperial Forest Army, the other three princes will definitely not be reconciled, and they will inevitably unite to fight against the prince together.
At this time, the helpers of the three princes are sixty percent of the courtiers and the city guards, and the prince's helpers are the remaining courtiers and the royal forest army, and wait until the two sides fight to the death, or rather, Linghu Su helps the prince defeat the other three, at this time, and then plunder the fruits of the revolution, no one has the strength to fight.
"Your Majesty's edict has long been written, in the hands of Master Wuji."
Su Liu's face turned pale when he heard this, and he pointed at Xu Yi tremblingly: "You, you, what nonsense are you talking about?" ”
Linghu Su held Su Liu's cold hand and said, "Who said that women can't be emperors, I want to be the first empress of the ages." ”
