Chapter 395: Saving Emperor Kaicheng
Lei Changye thought of the complete abolition of the eunuch system, and felt refreshed all over his body.
The eunuch system can be said to be the ugliest representation of the Chinese feudal dynasty, which means that in order to maintain the imperial power, the kings of the past dynasties can trample on and erase the personality and dignity of the ruled without hesitation, and even justify themselves with the righteousness of the family and country.
The disaster of eunuchs in the late Tang Dynasty had actually sounded the death knell for the eunuch system. However, after the change of dynasty, the kings of the previous dynasties, under the pressure of centralized power, finally maintained the eunuch system, but made various restrictions on eunuchs' interference in politics. This restriction, in the latter part of each dynasty, existed in name only.
After the Tang Dynasty, all Chinese dynasties were on guard against eunuchs, but they were on guard day and night, and it was difficult to prevent thieves. The struggle against the eunuch group has run through the entire history of China. Eunuchs not only became the cause of the decline of dynasties, but later developed into the target of interest groups that endangered the survival of the dynasty, acting as a shield and scapegoat.
Now under the special environment of the Tang Dynasty, there is a good time to abolish the eunuch system, and Lei Changye is determined to grasp it. The first thing to do is to stabilize Emperor Kaicheng's life and let him continue to live. He is the best back-stabbering man in Lei Changye's mind.
Thinking about all the key points, Lei Changye was only excited in his heart. He took three steps and made two steps, ran off the Flying Fish Lady's boat, and rushed towards the Qingsi Palace.
At this moment, Emperor Kaicheng was on the couch in the Qingsi Palace, panting without a mouthful, his face was blue and his lips were white, and his eyebrows were black. Qiu Shiliang's magic skill of hanging his life for him had already been exhausted, and only the Qiankun Hanging Pill that Yin Lihua fed him was left at work.
However, he lived in remorse, fear, horror, and despair all his life. Every negative emotion is more damaging to the body than any poison. He is still alive now, which can already be attributed to the excellent medical skills of the Imperial Imperial Physician Department.
Now, Emperor Kaicheng is on his deathbed. His mood was also calm. Qiu Shiliang's death gave him the greatest peace in his life, and he was ready to enter the ghost gate with a smile.
By his side, the three or five concubines who were still alive by his side were silently gathered around his bedside. These women have accompanied him through the darkest years of his life for more than ten years, accustomed to death and despair, and are so tired that they can no longer cry. Several people just stayed in one place silently, waiting for the last moment to come.
Guarding them were female members of the top echelons of the Martial Alliance: Bi Yike, Zixin, Sun Shangxiang, Su Daji and others. They looked at this group of people who had been the worst mixed in the royal family in the past, and they all sighed silently in their hearts.
Big players such as Zixin, Sun Shangxiang and Su Daji looked at them and had an epiphany, why did they spend so much effort to fight for life and death in order to change the dynasty, even if they won the world, but in the end, it was not like this?
Under the guidance of the palace maid, Lei Changye rushed into the Qingsi Hall and rushed towards the collapse of Emperor Kaicheng. The concubines who were guarding around Emperor Kaicheng looked at him blankly, and there was no surprise in their eyes. This place has long been used as a vegetable market by Qiu Shiliang, and now Lei Changye comes in at night to make no difference to them.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Lei Changye, the leader of the Chenwu Alliance, has the secret technique to save His Majesty, but it needs to be performed on His Majesty alone, and anyone who sees it will break the law, can you please avoid it?" Lei Changye bowed in the center of the main hall.
"Is it Lei Aiqing?" Emperor Kaicheng heard Lei Changye's voice, suddenly opened his eyes, and asked with difficulty.
"The minister is here!" said Lei Changye hurriedly.
"You ...... Stand down. Emperor Kaicheng muttered.
"Yes......" These concubines glanced at Emperor Kaicheng faintly, and walked out of the Qingsi Hall with their heads down.
Lei Changye glanced at the members of the Martial Alliance in the hall. These members understood this, and all withdrew from the Qingsi Temple, and guarded the various portals of the Qingsi Temple.
"Lei Aiqing, Yong Daxia once told me that you have the art of immortality, but is it true?" Emperor Kaicheng asked tremblingly.
"Really. The minister made a name for himself in Jiangnan by selling the right to immortality. This immortality, of course, will not miss Your Majesty. Lei Changye said in a low voice.
"I don't want that immortality. I don't deserve it. When Emperor Kaicheng said this, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
Of course, Lei Changye won't say that you are indeed unworthy. But it was not easy to speak, so he just coughed: "The minister has a childhood story, but I don't know if His Majesty is interested in hearing it?"
"Lei Aiqing's story is interesting to think about. Emperor Kaicheng smiled bitterly.
"When I was a child, I didn't eat pork because pigs were ugly. But when I grew up, I ate pork chop barbecue, but found that pork is really the best delicacy in the world. Lei Changye said.
"Finished?"
"It's over. ”
"So short?"
"There is not much time left for Your Majesty. ”
Emperor Kaicheng laughed weakly a few times, only to feel suffocated in his chest and abdomen, extremely uncomfortable: "Aiqing is saying that whether it is worthy or not, I need to try it myself." ”
"Exactly. Your Majesty, the minister's immortality is all in this painting box, once it is in the painting, the magic weapon is not destroyed, and the divine consciousness will last forever, and so on. This is a special painting box made by the minister for His Majesty, Your Majesty only needs to look at it to enter the painting, why not give it a try?" Lei Changye took out a painting box carved with dragons and phoenixes from his arms, and presented it with both hands.
Emperor Kaicheng looked at the identification talisman on the painting box and muttered, "Divine consciousness lasts forever...... Is it really that important that I keep this life?"
"Your Majesty is concerned about the well-being of all people, and you should never give up lightly. Lei Changye bowed and said.
Emperor Kaicheng opened his eyes with difficulty, stared at the talisman, and slowly let go of his heart defense. His faint sense of consciousness suddenly entered the painting.
Emperor Kaicheng's eyes were dark, and the bleak and dim scenery in the Qingsi Hall changed suddenly, and he came to a town with beautiful wind and sunshine, green mountains and green waters. He glanced at his body, he had the young figure of an eighteen-year-old, and the shortness of breath, palpitations, abdominal cramps, rheumatic pains, and lower back pain that had been haunting him were all gone.
It was as if he was eighteen years old again, and he had life again.
"Lei Aiqing!Lei Aiqing!" Emperor Kaicheng eagerly turned around to find Lei Changye.
"Your Majesty, the ministers are here. Lei Changye's voice came from behind Emperor Kaicheng.
Emperor Kaicheng turned his head to look, but found that Lei Changye was bowing to him.
"This is what Aiqing said about the art of immortality?" Emperor Kaicheng said in ecstasy as he felt the youthful aura on his body.
"Exactly. Your Majesty is still satisfied?" asked Lei Changye with a smile.
"I should ...... this God-given technique" Emperor Kaicheng opened his mouth to seal the reward, and then he suddenly sighed, "I should become a monk here, cultivate my self-cultivation, repent, and never ask about the world." ”
"Your Majesty, but Datang still needs your governance. Lei Changye hurriedly said.
"With this magic weapon of immortality, what Aiqing holds in his hand is the lifeblood of the world's heroes, unless there is a second person to create a new magic weapon of immortality, otherwise those who have the right to live forever will win the world, now Chang'an is in the hands of the Qing family, this is a good opportunity to change the dynasty, isn't Aiqing tempted?" Emperor Kaicheng put his hands behind his back and suddenly asked.
"It's too expensive to change the dynasty, and it's in my best interest as a businessman like me to maintain the status quo. Lei Changye smiled slightly. Emperor Kaicheng is worthy of being a descendant of the emperor, and he immediately grasped the potential value of the Immortal Hidden Diagram.
"......" Emperor Kaicheng glanced at him, and suddenly smiled, "Aiqing is worthy of being Yongqiang's good friend." We, the people who are vying for power and profit, are just a burden for the monarchs of the Martial Alliance. ”
"Your Majesty. Lei Changye bowed and said.
"Now that I have entered this magic weapon world, I finally realized that the reason why I was trapped by Qiu Shiliang before was precisely because I loved power and refused to let go, and in the end I betrayed everyone, and everyone left me. Datang's bones were broken because of me, and I didn't want to drag my crippled body and sit on top of the court. Lei Aiqing, I want to hide here, and never leave the strife of power. Emperor Kaicheng looked at the green mountains and green waters in front of him, took a deep breath, closed his eyes and said.
"......" Lei Changye bowed his head and was silent.
"I know that if I leave like this, there will be great chaos in the court. However, now that the whole Daming Palace is controlled by the Wu League, even if it is a little chaotic, it will not be chaotic. I also have to bother Lei Aiqing to take care of me more, and go to the Sixteenth Mansion to find an heir for me casually, that is. Emperor Kaicheng waved his hand.
"Since you want to return to the green mountains and green waters, and don't ask about the world, the affairs behind Your Majesty will be handed over to the ministers to deal with. Lei Changye said in a deep voice.
"Aiqing can not only cooperate with Yong Daxia to defeat Qiu Shiliang, but also have his own means to stabilize Daming Palace. There are not many things in the world that belong to Datang, and there are not many things to deal with if Aiqing wants to maintain the status quo. Emperor Kaicheng said as he walked towards a winding place on the edge of the town.
This young body made him feel extra vibrant. Outside the painting, he didn't want to bother thinking about it anymore. Since Lei Changye is willing to let him into the painting, it shows that he has kindness to himself. Then hand over the world to him, Emperor Kaicheng felt that it didn't matter. It's a thousand times stronger than Qiu Shiliang.
Lei Changye looked at the back of Emperor Kaicheng and sighed with emotion. Emperor Kaicheng did have a Dao heart at this moment, and he was able to leave everything behind and find the true meaning of heaven and earth. It seems that this immortal hidden map is an excellent place for the emperor to retreat.
Still, that's exactly what he wants. For the next operation he wants to carry out in Datang, he needs 100% cooperation from Emperor Kaicheng. But after all, Emperor Kaicheng was a feudal autocratic monarch with independent thinking, and it was impossible to be in tune with him all the time.
Isn't the one who is most in tune with you in the world just yourself?
Lei Changye turned his head and glanced at the other Kaicheng Emperor who was walking behind him. This is the second painting of Emperor Kaicheng that he prepared. This painting is not simple. This is the body of the painting that he begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother to ask Wu Daozi to paint for him.
He planted a trace of his own consciousness into the painting, and immediately took over his consciousness. He manipulated the middle body of the painting to come out of the painting box and came to the body of Emperor Kaicheng. Emperor Kaicheng's body had already swallowed his last breath at this moment, and he became the first person who really had no physical body, and only his divine consciousness existed in the Immortal Hidden Diagram.
This also proves that this Immortal Hidden Diagram is a magic weapon that can truly make the divine consciousness last forever.
Lei Changye also withdrew his divine sense from the painting box, raised the alliance treasure bag and collected the corpse of Emperor Kaicheng.
In the painting, Emperor Kaicheng lay down on the couch of the Qingsi Hall under the control of his divine sense.
"Congratulations to the Holy Dragon Body Kangtai!" Lei Changye bowed down and spoke loudly, sonic shock hall.
