Taihe Treasure Palace.
Shangguan Xiu and eldest grandson Boyuan walked into the main hall side by side. The main hall is empty, the guards have been killed, the palace maids have been imprisoned in the harem, and even the bodies of the four ministers such as Guanyu have been cleaned up by the wind army.
This hall, the eldest grandson Boyuan doesn't know how many times he has been here, and this time is the most unique one, he did not come as the great prince of Haotian, but as the county king of the Wind Country.
He raised his head and stared blankly at the empty dragon chair in front of him, with mixed emotions and mixed feelings.
For this dragon chair, I don't know how many conspiracies and tricks, open and secret fights, and I don't know how many fratricidal battles have happened, father and son have punished each other, and now, this dragon chair is going to change its name and surname, from now on, it will no longer be surnamed Changsun, only changed its surname to Tang.
In fact, now Changsun Boyuan's heart is a little lucky, glad that he didn't win the battle for the heir, glad that he couldn't sit on this dragon chair, otherwise, he wouldn't be standing here now.
Compared with his mixed feelings, Shangguan Xiu's mood was much calmer.
He walked forward step by step, step by step, and came to the front of the dragon chair, gently stroking the golden back.
For today's scene, for hundreds of years, how many heroes and martyrs have died on the battlefield, how many heroes have buried their bones in a foreign land, and how many soldiers have stained the battlefield red with blood.
"How many wind people, throwing their heads, spilling blood, do not ask for brocade clothes and jade to return, but ask for the return of the horse leather shroud, a hundred years of great cause, today, has finally become a reality. Shangguan Xiu couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh. bjbv
Hearing his words, the eldest grandson Boyuan came back to his senses, bowed to Shangguan Xiu, and said, "Congratulations to Your Highness, you have finally completed the great cause of reunification!"
Shangguan Xiu smiled, waved his hand at him, and said, "This is not my work alone. As he spoke, he walked over to the dragon chair and sat down.
Sitting on the dragon chair and looking down below, it really looks so small. This chair represents the supreme power and supreme position.
Seeing him sitting on the dragon chair, Eldest Sun Boyuan asked with a playful smile, "How does Your Highness feel?"
"It's like sitting on pins and needles, and it's cold in high places. Shangguan Xiu leaned lazily to the side, put his fist on his forehead, and said happily: "No wonder people say that they can't be more affectionate than the emperor's family." Sitting here, all I can think about is how to sit in this position, and I can only think about who is the biggest threat to me, and how can I get rid of that biggest threat. ā
Come to think of it, Xiang'er used to think about these things all day long.
"Sure enough, depending on where you sit, you will think differently. It's rare that His Highness has only sat for such a while, and he has so many feelings. Eldest Sun Boyuan said with a smile.
Shangguan Xiu looked up and smiled, beckoned to the eldest grandson Boyuan, patted the position next to him again, and said, "Boyuan, come, this dragon chair is big enough, let's sit together!"
The eldest grandson Boyuan was stunned at first, and then, his head shook like a rattle, waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "Your Highness can spare me, Boyuan still wants to live a few more years." ā
This dragon chair, Shangguan Xiu can sit, no one dares to impeach him, but he is different, if he sits on it, Tang Ling and the court of the Wind Country will not let him go, I am afraid that it will not be long before the imperial wine will be delivered to his hands.
The eldest grandson Boyuan was worried, he didn't dare to sit on the dragon chair, Shangguan Xiu was not reluctant, he stretched on the dragon chair, and was just about to speak, when there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, and Zhao Chen ran into the Taihe Treasure Hall in a hurry.
Seeing Shangguan Xiu sitting on the dragon chair, Zhao Chen was stunned, and then bowed his hand and said urgently: "Brother Xiu, the eldest grandson Bohao is already in the palace, he committed suicide by burning fire, and the queen Ye was martyred." ā
Hearing this, Eldest Sun Boyuan's face changed slightly, and he gasped, and Shangguan Xiu, who was originally sitting on the dragon chair, also stood up. He held the dragon book case with both hands, leaned forward, and asked, "Is the news accurate?"
"Brother Xiu, it's been confirmed. ā
Shangguan Xiu blinked, turned his eyes to look at Eldest Sun Boyuan, and seemed to ask him, can Eldest Sun Bohao really do such a thing?
In history, there are not a few kings who bow down to the country, but there are few kings who are willing to die for the country.
Eldest Sun Boyuan understood Shangguan Xiu's eyes, he nodded slowly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Eldest Sun Bohao has always been conceited, and he is pretentious, he will not be a living, humiliated and fished monarch of the country." Ye Huashang, a rare and strange woman, committed suicide with her eldest grandson Bohao, which is also in line with her loyal temperament. ā
Shangguan Xiu walked down the steps, walked out of the Taihe Treasure Palace, and looked at the harem, even if he stood here in the front palace, he could clearly see the billowing smoke on the side of the dormitory. Shangguan Xiu narrowed his eyes and said quietly: "A generation of emperors, in the end, is nothing more than that. ā
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Changsun Boyuan, and seeing that he had a sad look on his face, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "The bones of Changsun Bohao and the Ye family will be buried by Bo Yuan, and how to bury them is also up to Bo Yuan to decide!"
No matter how much blood feud there is between the eldest grandson Boyuan and the eldest grandson Bohao, and how much hatred there is for the heavens, in the final analysis, the two are still blood-related brothers after all, Shangguan Xiu did not order the corpses of the eldest grandson Bohao and Ye Huashang to be crushed and scattered, but handed them over to the eldest grandson Boyuan to dispose of, which can be said to have given him enough face.
How could the eldest grandson Boyuan not understand Shangguan Xiu's kindness, he was deeply moved to give a deep salute to Shangguan Xiu, and said, "Bo Yuan, thank Your Highness Longen!"
Shangguan Xiu waved his hand to him, he raised his eyes to look at the burning dormitory, and said faintly: "When people die, the lights go out, and the emperor wants to dominate the industry, and it will be empty in a blink of an eye." ā
As he was talking, a group of people walked over quickly, and the first one was Zhang Jiuwei. Zhang Jiuwei came to Shangguan Xiu's approach, bowed down, and said, "Weichen see His Royal Highness!"
Seeing that it was Zhang Jiuwei, Shangguan Xiu smiled, raised his head and said, "Lord Zhang doesn't need to be polite!"
After Zhang Jiuwei thanked him, he respectfully saluted the eldest grandson Boyuan and said, "Weichen see the prince!"
The eldest grandson Boyuan stepped forward, helped Zhang Jiuwei up with his own hands, and sighed: "Hurry up and be exempt! Lord Zhang's kindness to this king, this king doesn't know how to repay it." ā
When the eldest grandson Boyuan was defeated, the reason why he ran to the side of the Wind Country was the idea that Zhang Jiuwei gave him.
At that time, he was still quite worried in his heart, when he was still the eldest prince, the Wind Country might be courteous to him, but now he is just a defeated and exiled prince, where is the Wind Country, how can he still have his life?
However, Zhang Jiuwei swore that as long as he arrived in the Wind Country, the Wind Country would definitely treat him well.
In fact, exactly like Zhang Jiuwei's calculation, Shangguan Xiu did give the eldest grandson Boyuan a very high courtesy, and even gave him the title of county king. In the mind of the eldest grandson Boyuan, Zhang Jiuwei is also a teacher and friend to him, and he is also his benefactor.
Zhang Jiuwei said with a smile: "The prince is serious, isn't this a torment for the minister!" As he spoke, he owed to Shangguan Xiu again, and said: "If the prince wants to thank him, he should also thank His Royal Highness!"
Shangguan Xiu looked up and smiled, Zhang Jiuwei is too good at being a person, and in dealing with people, people can't find anything to fault in the world.
Zhang Jiuwei suddenly remembered something, turned around, beckoned to the back, and called a young general, who said with a smile to Shangguan Xiu: "Your Highness, this is General Liang Yingliang who helped our army open the gate of the North Palace and the founding father Wuhou!"
When Shangguan Xiu heard this, his eyes immediately fell on Liang Ying.
Liang Ying stepped forward quickly, knelt on his knees, bowed his head, and said, "Sinner Liang Ying, knock to see Your Highness!"
After Wuhou, this is really surprising. Shangguan Xiu asked, "Since you are the Marquis of Wu, why are you in Ningnan?"
Liang Ying maintained the posture of kneeling and kowtowing, and said in a low voice: "More than 100 years ago, the ancestors of the Liang family moved from the country of wind to Ningnan, and today the guilty ministers surrender to their roots, just to be able to return to their roots, inherit the mantle of the ancestors of Wuhou, and serve the country and serve the orthodoxy!"
"Serving the orthodox, that's a good saying. Shangguan Xiu stepped forward, helped Liang Ying up, and said meaningfully: "The ancestors of you and I are close friends, all of them are the unification of the world for Gale, and have made great contributions.
Shangguan Xiu's words, as well as Shangguan Xiu's actions, made Liang Ying deeply moved, in Shangguan Xiu, he felt that he didn't feel like a defector, but more like a prodigal son who had been away from home for a long time, and now he finally returned to his homeland.
He lowered his head and choked up: "The criminal minister is willing to atone for the treason of the ancestors and defected to the enemy! I am willing to serve the work of dogs and horses for the gale, for Your Majesty, and for Your Highness!"
Shangguan Xiu said with a smile: "After General Liang is the father, he has a loyal and patriotic heart and has made meritorious deeds, so now he should no longer regard himself as a criminal minister." ā
"The last general, Your Highness Longen!" As he spoke, Liang Ying knelt down again.
Shangguan Xiu held him up and said, "General Liang doesn't have to be polite. After a pause, he asked, "General Liang is in Ningnan, and he is the leader of the guard battalion, right?"
Liang Ying's face turned red and he replied in a low voice, "Yes, Your Highness." ā
"Temporarily wronged General Liang, or serve as the leader of the guard battalion, and when the situation in Tianjing is completely stabilized, the imperial court will reward General Liang for his merits. ā
Shangguan Xiu looked at Liang Ying with deep eyes and said, "During this time, the security in Tianjing City depends on General Liang. ā
"Your Highness has an order, the last general is duty-bound, the last general and all the soldiers of the guard battalion will swear to defend Tianjing and defend the foundation of the gale!"
"Haha, that's a good point!" Shangguan Xiu laughed. He raised his hand, and Zhao Chen stepped forward, bowed down and said, "Your Highness." ā
"Let the fire in the palace be extinguished so that it may not be destroyed and the other palaces, and let men patrol the palace to make sure that all parts of the palace are intact. ā
Long before attacking the palace, Shangguan Xiu had a plan in his heart, and in the future Wind Country, Tianjing was likely to replace Shangjing and become the new capital of the Wind Country.
The mainland of the Wind Country is too eastern, and the east is full of the sea, it is a dead end, there is nowhere to expand, and the center of gravity of the Wind Country will inevitably gradually shift to the Ningnan area, and the direction of expansion will also be the west of the Ningnan area.
In this case, Shangjing is too remote, and it is appropriate to set the capital in Tianjing.
Try to keep the Tianjing Palace intact now, and you can save a lot of money on repairs in the future.
Zhao Chen took the order and left, and the eldest grandson Boyuan said to Shangguan Xiu: "Your Highness, I'll go over and take a look!"
"Okay!" Shangguan Xiu nodded in agreement. After the eldest grandson Boyuan left, Shangguan Xiu took Zhang Jiuwei, Liang Ying and others into the Taihe Treasure Palace, and said: "Now that the eldest grandson Bohao has cut himself, the imperial court in Ningnan exists in name only, but the Ningnan region cannot be governed by no one. What does Master Zhang think?"
Zhang Jiuwei's eyes rolled, and he asked cautiously, "Your Highness is planning to reorganize the imperial court in Tianjing?"
If Shangguan Xiu reorganizes the imperial court in Tianjing, then the matter will be a big problem, and the wind country is equivalent to having two imperial courts at the same time, so who listens to whom of these two imperial courts? Shangguan Xiu has spent so much effort and effort to let the two countries embark on the road of reunification, and how can he make a situation of division now.
It's just that in such a large Ningnan region, if there is no imperial court and no central government jurisdiction, all places don't know what chaos will become, not to mention other places, Tianjing alone will be a mess. This is the most headache and embarrassment for Shangguan Xiu now.
