Chapter 127: Heart Disorder (I)
He Dali said strangely: "Prince Xuan is far away in the north, how can he have anything to do with you?"
"Do you really don't know or don't know? The fourth uncle and I, named uncle and nephew, have actually been mortal enemies for a long time. Following the ceremony, our struggle will certainly become even more intense. ”
He Dali asked, "Why is the battle so hot after the ceremony?"
Xiong Zhuangzhuang smiled: "Fatty, you say all the time that I don't think about problems, I think you are really stupid." The county lord became a princess, and she was the first choice for the crown prince in the future. Prince Xuan also wants to be the emperor, so he naturally regards the county lord as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh. Can it not be white-hot? If you become a king or lose a villain, either you will die or I will die. ”
He Xiaoduo was silent, got up slowly, walked slowly to the door, looked at the bright green grass and trees in the yard, and said for a long time: "A few of you are my henchmen, I have a few words, it doesn't hurt to talk to you."
Five days later, after we finished the succession ceremony in the Colorful Stone Square, I had to call my biological father the imperial uncle and my biological mother as my aunt.
The emperor has no heirs, but my parents only have one daughter, and I passed on to the emperor, although I have another future, but it is not what I want, let alone the original intention of my parents.
I live in a corner and become the county lord, I don't have to worry about food and clothing, it's simple, isn't it also good?
Moreover, the daughter of the heavenly family is expensive, but she also has a lot of responsibilities and dangers out of thin air.
Do you understand all of this?"
He Xiaoduo explained his heart in public for the first time, and Long Yuandong and the others were shocked, but because the matter was confidential, it was inconvenient to comment, so they nodded in unison.
"In the struggle for imperial power throughout the ages, the losing side ended up extremely tragic. Even if I no longer want to participate in the struggle for imperial power, after all, the situation is pressing, and I have to do it. ”
He Dali said: "What is the truth of this? Is there anyone else who coerces you?"
He Xiaoduo paused, sat back in his seat, and said slowly: "This is going to start from the beginning."
In recent years, the emperor has been intoxicated with cultivation and has no interest in national affairs, and no one has presided over major affairs in the court, resulting in chaos and rampant corruption. He himself knows that in the long run, there will be no peace in the country. In order to avoid the destruction of the ancestral inheritance in his own hands, he intended to give up the throne, but he couldn't make up his mind about who to pass the throne to.
At that time, most of the elders of the clan and the ministers of the court recognized Prince Xuan. However, the emperor thought that the fourth uncle's qualifications were not good and his cultivation was too low, and he was afraid that after he ascended the throne, he would not be able to suppress the four powerful countries and the world's heroes. So the emperor inspected the descendants of the clan, took a fancy to my cultivation potential, and gave birth to the idea of making me his heir.
I was only eight or nine years old at the time, and my soul power cultivation was only two levels of primary, my talent was not yet shown, and my strength was not shown, and the clansmen thought that it was unreasonable to make me my heir, and my father was reluctant to send me to the palace so young, so this matter was temporarily shelved and dragged on until today. ”
He vigorously interjected: "King Xuan is now a ninth-order soul killer, and if you want to say that your cultivation is low, it is not very low. Most of the altar masters of the Five Elements Sect are also ninth-order juniors. ”
He Xiaoduo smiled faintly and said, "It depends on who you compare with." The emperor is his age, and he has almost been promoted to the tenth rank. The first batch of students of our Star First Academy, I'm afraid that within ten years, some people will be able to reach the tenth order. In comparison, the ninth-order soul killing Luo was not enough. What's more, it is also a ninth-order, and the combat effectiveness is also very different. If you were to go head-to-head with him, I believe he wouldn't have to be an opponent. ”
He Dali smiled and accepted He Xiaoduo's praise without modesty.
He Xiaoduo continued the previous topic: "But the current situation has changed again. Your dazzling performance in the Huzhou campaign is in everyone's eyes. There is also the Royal Military Academy, which has also cultivated a lot of talents. It can be said that there are far more outstanding young talents on our side than the fourth uncle. Last month, I myself was successfully promoted to the eighth rank, and the attitudes of a small number of clansmen gradually began to change, and some even expressed their support for me. ”
"Nowadays, the court is eroded, the rivers and lakes are turbulent, there are rebels and thieves in the opposition, there are strong kings fighting for power in the temple, there are spies seeking the country inside, and there are heroes peeping outside. Internal and external troubles, the whole country is in danger. All kinds of circumstances superimposed, and the emperor had to make up his mind to make me his concubine. Although my father is reluctant to me, for the sake of the country's inheritance, he can only endure the pain and cut his love. In the past, I might have been able to push it, but now I can't push it if I want to. ”
"After my successor, although I am still one step away from the position of the prince, I am at least one of the legitimate candidates for the prince. The fourth uncle has been planning for many years for the position of the prince, how can he be willing? Therefore, he secretly connected many elders and ministers in the clan and attacked me, saying that my mother is from the Dongmu country, and my extreme emotional attributes have always been unique to the Dongmu country, so I should not become the orthodoxy of the Tuhao Empire, and I should not be named a princess.
In addition, the fourth uncle also privately controlled many garrisons, government troops, state governors, and some forbidden troops, so that they disobeyed the orders of the central army, no matter how urgent the war was, they all passed the buck and pretended not to know, so as to show his means and force me to retreat in the face of difficulties. This is also the fundamental reason why the Five Elements Sect rebelled and won successive battles, while the official army was defeated and retreated, like a pot of porridge. It's a pity that the emperor has already made up his mind about the succession, and no matter what the clansmen and ministers say, he has not wavered in the slightest. ”
"The fourth uncle can't stop and destroy the succession ceremony, and he will definitely make a big fuss about the issue of establishing a prince later. At this point, I had been pushed into a corner, and there was no room to retreat. Only by fighting with all our might can we win the initiative! Even if we fail in the end, everyone can die and understand!"
He Dali said blankly: "Go all out, what kind of fighting method?
He Xiaoduo smiled bitterly and said, "You can't kill him, he's my own uncle." After a pause, he said abruptly: "At least, now is not the time." ”
Long Yuandong asked, "Under the command of King Xuan, what is your strength?"
He Xiaoduo said: "He controls seven or eight times more troops than us, and there are many ministers and clansmen who support him. However, there are few truly powerful generals under him. ”
He said vigorously: "The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth." What tricks does Prince Xuan have, even if he uses it, we will follow. ”
Long Yuandong warned: "If Prince Xuan has few generals, then he will definitely do something against our main generals in the future, so that he has a better chance of winning." Therefore, we must beware of King Xuan sending people to assassinate and sneak attack. ”
He Xiaoduo also said: "Yes, the heart of defense is indispensable." In the coming days, you will not only have to keep a low profile, but you must not act alone, lest you get into trouble. ”
On this day, He Xiaoduo and Long Yuandong, He Dali, Xiong Zhuangzhuang, Zhong Dinghe, and Yun Tianjia talked all night, regardless of respect and inferiority, treated each other frankly, knew everything, and she did not shy away from the secrets of the palace that were rarely heard by ordinary people.
Because of this conversation, Long Yuandong and others naturally became closer to He Xiaoduo. Only Yun Tianjia was in a trance, as if he was sleepwalking, from beginning to end, he rarely spoke.
The sky was faintly bright, Long Yuandong, He Dali, Xiong Zhuangzhuang, Zhong Ding and farewell to the county lord's mansion, rushed to the Star First Courtyard to lock the soul pass, and found the corresponding soul beast prepared by He Xiaoduo to complete the promotion.
Yun Tianjia's soul power had not yet met the conditions for promotion, so he had to go back to the dormitory alone and continue to cultivate.
He Xiaoduo looked at Yun Tianjia's back and felt slightly worried.
She also saw Yun Tianjia's depressed state in her eyes, and had the heart to comfort him a few words, but she didn't know where to start.
