Chapter 46 Who Confers the Monarch's Power?

Located in the center of the entire Weizhou capital, used to suppress the national fortune in the palace, although it is dark at this moment, but the palace is brightly lit, illuminated everywhere as clear as day, a team of guards with knives follow the commander of the Praetorian Guard in the palace shuttles, repeatedly, around the palace all night on duty, to prevent all suspicious people from sneaking in, a young palace maid and the inner eunuchs carry lanterns, carefully guard their own class, do not dare to have the slightest neglect.

The whole palace, whether day or night, is like a huge ant nest, the ants in it perform their duties, come and go, meet each other, and rarely stop to say hello, such an impersonal place, it is no wonder that many people regard it as the world's largest shackle "prison".

Fortunately, since the mysterious Yellow Heaven Sect leader entered the palace to face the saint and was favored by His Majesty Duanmu Lei, the emperor of the current dynasty, the atmosphere in the entire palace has improved a lot.

After all, this old emperor Duanmu Lei is disrespectful to the old, and the older he gets, the more lustful he is, that is the entire defense of the country, both inside and outside the government and the opposition, otherwise where would Duanmu Huayun and others think of tempting their father with a beauty, so as to achieve the goal of abolishing Duanmu Shuofeng.

As the king of a country, he rarely has the courage to speak out, even if there is occasionally this kind of humerus loyalty, the clear stream of officialdom, it can be regarded as a match with everyone else, where is there no one who is not suppressed, a little better, degraded, the farther the better, the better, the worse, just afraid that the court will be beheaded.

It is very normal for people to be powerful and unrestrained, and they are naturally indulgent, such as Duanmu Shuofeng, who is bent on starting a war, ascending to the top of the south, and becoming the king of the south, isn't it also for his own selfish desires regardless of the persuasion of others?

In the harem, in a recently renovated hall, the old emperor Duanmu Lei was dressed in a plain and elegant white wide robe with big sleeves, carefully sewn by the weavers in the palace, he knelt quietly on a futon woven of cattails, standing in front of him, is a huge statue placed behind the offering table, even if it is not counted as the altar below, it is as high as three zhang.

This is the only true God that the Yellow Heavenly Sect believes in, the so-called Creator of the World, is the God of the Father who is far away in the Heavenly Palace.

The whole body is a milky white tall statue, the face can be vaguely seen as a bearded old man, he is tall, tall and strong, like an ancient giant, seems to support the entire heavenly dome, his face is majestic, in his eyes, as if flashing with the light of divinity, he is holding the holy text symbolizing the teachings of the Yellow Heaven Sect in one hand, and holding the scepter of creation in the other, his demeanor is majestic, as if the sky has descended into the world.

It has to be said that the craftsmen who can carve this statue must be the most outstanding people in the entire Southland.

In the whole hall, around the statue, rows of wooden stands are placed, on which white candles are placed in an orderly manner, adding a touch of solemnity and solemnity to the whole environment.

Duanmu Lei knelt in front of the idol, first put his hands together, palms facing outward, the back of his hands pressed against his forehead, closed his eyes, and bowed down to the idol of God Father with an extremely serious expression.

He whispered in his mouth the holy scriptures that had been compiled by the Yellow Heaven Sect Leader himself, and it was said that the gods himself had spoken the words he had heard, and his expression was extremely solemn.

In order to ensure that his daily worship and worship of God would not be disturbed, no one in the entire house except him, even the inner eunuchs and guards who should be with the emperor were all driven outside the house by him to wait, and no one was allowed to enter without his order, otherwise it would be a capital crime.

However, in this empty and silent place of worship, a steady footstep suddenly came from behind him, getting closer and closer.

The old emperor Duanmu Lei heard it, but as the master of this place, no, as the master of the entire country, he didn't even look back, he still knelt on the futon, closed his eyes and recited all the content that should be recited every time he bowed to the gods, then he opened his eyes and said coldly: "Didn't you say, let you not come in?"

In an instant, he lowered his head again, bowed respectfully to the idol in front of him, and muttered, "Father is above, I should not have murderous intent because of a trivial matter, but for the sake of maintaining the purity of this place, I ask you to forgive me for my sins." ”

Just as he finished saying this, he was about to stand up and deal with the bold subordinate behind him, but from behind him, there was a voice that he would never have expected to appear here.

"Father, how did you become like this? ”

There was only a hint of disappointment in Duanmu Shuofeng's tone, and as for the rest of the emotions, there was nothing more.

After all, he has never had too many expectations for his father, and he can continue to maintain his identity as a prince without being moved by external objects, even if he is Duanmu Shuofeng, the only expectation for this father who is the king of a country.

But he never thought that he couldn't even do such a simple point.

Duanmu Lei's eyes widened, and after being stunned in place for a moment, he turned around suddenly, and when he finally saw the person clearly, he seemed to have lost all his strength, and suddenly collapsed to the ground, and his hands struggled to support the marble floor that was wiped very smooth by the subordinates, so that he could barely fall down, and he shouted in a trembling voice: "How are you? How did you get in? What about the guards? What about my guards? Guards! Escorts!"

Duanmu Shuofeng put his hands behind his back, his expression was indifferent, as if he was the master here, he just looked down at the old man in front of him, shook his head slightly, and sighed: "Father, you are too out of shape, stop, no one will come." ”

Where did the old emperor care so much, he shouted at the top of his voice for a long time, and then listened carefully, and after waiting for three full breaths, there was no large number of footsteps as he expected, and the old emperor realized that there was really no one to escort him.

After thinking about these things clearly, and then looking up at the eldest son in front of him, the old man once again regained his position as the king of a country, holding the kind of majesty that tens of millions of people should have, but there was still a trace of pity and pathetic fear in his expression.

"You, aren't you in Qilian City, how dare you come back suddenly without my edict!"

Duanmu Shuofeng didn't answer his question, to be precise, he didn't even think about the other party, he just raised his head and looked at the incomparably full statue opposite, in front of this three-zhang high statue that almost touched the dome, he was extremely small, but his eyes were full of disdain and contempt for everything in front of him.

Duanmu Lei finally came back to his senses and stood up at this time, he glared at the son in front of him who had completely ignored him, and shouted.

"Presumptuous! I'm asking you now, are you going to answer me with that attitude?"

When Duanmu Shuofeng heard this, he withdrew his gaze from looking at the statue, lowered his head, and looked at the old man who jumped on his feet opposite, his father who was like the sky on his head as a child, and the king of the country.

"You're old, let's let it go. ”

Duanmu Lei's face turned sideways, and his face was full of anger, but even so, he couldn't hide the panic in his eyes, but in order to cover it up in front of his son, he could only point at Duanmu Shuofeng's nose and scold: "Rebel son! You fatherless beast! You, what do you mean by this? Are you going to rebel? Bastard! Bastard!"

Even if Duanmu Shuofeng was scolded by him, he still said casually with a nonchalant look: "Rebellion?" if you have to say that, you can do it, but as your son, I am still willing to give you a decent one, this emperor's position should be lived by the capable, you have been in the position for a long time, but you only care about selfish desires and have never made an inch of contribution to the country, this is unreasonable。。。。。。 ”

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by an angry Duanmu Lei.

was described like this by his own son, and his anger instantly overshadowed his reason and that trace of fear.

"Shut up, you rebel, do you really want to make trouble? Okay, okay, why didn't I see your ambition earlier! Come on, take it for me!"

In the end, he has been sitting on the throne for decades, in this country, it is the son of heaven who is full of words and words, once this anger comes up, it is still quite a bit imposing, but in the face of Duanmu Shuofeng, the proud son of heaven with the spirit of a hero, this weak momentum that can barely be supported by anger has become a boring joke.

Duanmu Shuofeng has never had so many kind words to talk to people he completely disdainful, so he just stretched out his hand that had been behind his back, and then coldly forced the other party: "Father, let me go, you are your emperor, this palace is still yours, as long as you don't obstruct me, whatever you do, face, lining, I can give you enough." ”

Duanmu Lei was so angry that his hands were trembling, and his mouth grew and grew, just a few of the same syllables popped out of his throat.

"You, you, you, you, you。。。。。。 ”

He screamed five times in a row, and he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

How could he have thought that he would be forced into the palace by his own son one day, and more importantly, this evil Jiao who committed chaos was actually fattened by him himself.

He repented!

Duanmu Shuofeng was very impatient and threw out the scroll of the Holy Decree that had been prepared in advance in his hand and landed in front of the other party.

"Father, hurry up and seal it, all the officials are waiting outside. ”

After Duanmu Lei heard this, he was like being struck by lightning, and the last trace of expectation in his heart was completely shattered by the other party, and the old man seemed to have his backbone removed, and he sat on the ground weakly, with his head down, silent.

It turned out that all the officials had already fallen to this son, so they were outside, so they should have heard the shouting just now, why didn't they come in to escort them?

What has he done all these years as an emperor?

Duanmu Lei sighed, perhaps, it would be better to hand over the country to him as soon as possible and be an idle emperor with peace of mind?

In the spring of the eighteenth year of Wei Li Taining, Emperor Wei Duanmu Lei announced to the world, in order to concentrate on seeking the Tao, Emperor Chan was located in the original prince Duanmu Shuofeng, who changed the name of the year to Hongwu on the spot, and abolished all the princes and princes of the country in one fell swoop, and all the royal families were kept in captivity in the clan palace outside the capital.

The former emperor Duanmu Lei announced on the second day that he would retreat with the head of the Huangtian Sect in the palace, and he would not leave the house, and even the new emperor's enthronement ceremony did not show up.

On the day of the enthronement ceremony, one of the three deputy sect leaders of the Huang Tianjiao came with the first copy of the holy book compiled by the head of the Huang Tian Sect himself, and held a heavenly ceremony for the new emperor Duanmu Shuofeng, declaring that he was the son of the mandate of heaven and was blessed by the father.

The chaos in the south is imminent.

In fact, I was sick a few days ago, but I didn't go to the hospital, I really couldn't stay up yesterday, vomiting and diarrhea, I'm really sorry, it's a little better today, a chapter, I hope you understand.
