Chapter 157: Chaos in the Imperial Court

The master of this generation of the Tianque Imperial Court, Emperor Yan is waiting for her arrival in the main hall.

The main hall was originally guarded, but it had been transferred at this time.

In the main hall, the gold is splendid, the dragon chair on the high platform is shining with golden light, and a middle-aged man is sitting on the dragon chair, waiting.

Princess Huiyun walked in, looked at her own brother, and saluted solemnly.

Emperor Yan hurriedly got up and gave him a handful.

"You're finally here. ”

Emperor Yan is Chinese New Year's Eve five years old today, but he looks like he is forty years old, and his perennial hard work, coupled with his body all the time, causes him to age extremely quickly, and his black hair is always mixed with a large amount of white hair.

He straightened his back, and his graceful posture maintained the last trace of his dignity as emperor, and this posture had penetrated deeply into his body, making it difficult for him to relax when facing his sister.

"Brother Huang, you've lost weight again recently. ”

Princess Huiyun is only one year younger than Emperor Yan, although the two are not the same mother, but there are many fights in the imperial court, the mother of the two is an alliance in order to survive, and because of the two children, a boy and a girl, there is no fundamental conflict of interests, and later there is really sisterhood.

The brother and sister snuggled up to each other in their dark childhood, and when they grew up, this revolutionary feeling was not affected.

Emperor Yan still heard it once and heard that someone cared about whether he was thin or fat, and a warm current in his heart made Huiyun sit down on the side of him.

The main hall was the place where the courtiers counciled, and although the power of Tianque became smaller and smaller, and the territory was reduced, the bureaucratic system was not reduced.

And there is only one emperor in a country, this is common sense, there can be a side here, Emperor Yan's heart hurts, but there is nothing to be done.

It is said to be on the side, but the person sitting on it is more like an emperor than him.

Because of the strategic mistakes of the previous emperors, the princes were divided, and each of them was not bound by the imperial power, and the more time passed, the princes' dissenting thoughts gradually rose.

Among all the feudal princes, there is only one person, although all the Tianque royal family has the surname Zhong, but there is only one person, just saying a word of Zhonghou, can make people think and know who it is.

Jincheng, the gateway to Guojing, is the territory of Zhonghou.

Zhong Hou's power is the head of all the princes, and now Emperor Yan can still sit on the dragon chair alive, relying on the false peace created by Zhong Hou.

And this situation also requires Emperor Yan to pay the price, his current side is the price he paid, in order to save his life, as well as the last face of the royal family, he acquiesced to Zhong Hou's previous government intervention, this side leaning, is Zhong Hou's position.

Fortunately, Zhong Hou still cared about a little reputation, and did not let him sit on the side, nor did he let the side lean into a dragon chair, after all, as long as Zhong Hou wanted to, his position could be more luxurious and luxurious than the Tianzi Dragon Chair in the entire Tianque.

Every morning, he is like a marionette, only the right to obey and nod, everyone comes here, not to report to him, but to wait.

He exists in name only, and can only survive, but he is also a man, especially an emperor, he has his own temperament and pursuits, and he hates Zhong Hou to death, far more than other feudal princes.

"It's almost the Autumn Festival. ”

Emperor Yan is full of expectations for this day, although he is a puppet, but only he can appear in front of everyone as the face of Tianque, no matter how powerful Zhong Hou is, he has to bow down to him in such a scene.

Of course, what he wants is not this face, he and Hui Yun are already preparing their own plans, a chance that will allow him to succeed in obtaining imperial power, but also a chance to die if he fails.

Although Huiyun is a woman, she acts in a ruthless style, and because she is a woman, she does things secretly and will not attract the attention of others.

All the hobbies that Huiyun shows outside, including beautiful men, are covers.

"Brother, the Autumn Festival is here, and we can be regarded as relieved. ”

"Over the years, I have spent a lot of time recruiting people with lofty ideals outside, and then gathering them together, in order to wait for the day when Tianque will return to normal, brother, you are putting up with it. ”

Emperor Yan took a deep breath, suppressed the tension in his heart, and then felt a little helpless, he looked at himself, and then at Huiyun, and his heart was even more bitter.

"If they hadn't been too hard and had to force me, I wouldn't have done it. ”

"As the king of a country, I can't even have a child of my own. ”

Hui Yun lowered her eyebrows and looked at the smooth stone slabs on the ground, she knew what Emperor Yan said.

In the early years, Emperor Yan was a teenager, riding and archery martial arts, everything was good, but at a hunting meeting, he was designed, fell off the horse, just injured the body, although after treatment has been no big problem, but in the process of treatment, too much medicine fierce medicine, since then, although Emperor Yan can still personnel, but can no longer conceive a child.

At that time, Emperor Yan didn't find out about this, until later, Emperor Yan's concubine gave birth to a baby girl, and the baby girl was Princess Caixia, who was rumored to have been robbed of a horse by Princess Huiyun.

Princess Caixia is rude and willful, and has always been disobedient, but Emperor Yan is such a daughter, and she has been pampered until Princess Caixia's mother, another private meeting with the guards, was discovered, Emperor Yan insisted on giving her death, Princess Caixia hit the wall, in order to force Emperor Yan to spare her mother's life.

Emperor Yan still felt sorry for his daughter, and temporarily locked up Princess Caixia's mother.

During the time he was imprisoned, Emperor Yan went to see it once, and Princess Caixia's mother was not in good spirits, and bluntly said that Emperor Yan was a waste and liked to be a father, and he was still complacent with a green hat on his head.

Emperor Yan was devastated and found someone to take a blood test, which confirmed that Princess Caixia was not his biological bloodline, and at the same time learned that he was infertile.

Emperor Yan was furious, and immediately killed Princess Caixia's mother and this series of related people, because he was quick and ruthless enough, he concealed this matter, and Princess Caixia, although Emperor Yan didn't like it, but in order to keep his secret from being discovered, he was ridiculed by the world, so he could only keep it, pretending that she was his own child.

But this kind of self-deception can only deceive himself, and when Zhong Hou once again talked about his lack of children and no one to inherit the throne, Emperor Yan suddenly understood.

He didn't fall off the horse unintentionally, and if you want to stimulate the horse, you can write an entire book, but because there was no major problem at the time, I didn't think about the injury in the direction of conspiracy theories, and I didn't investigate it carefully, but now I see that his injury was designed.

The other party doesn't want his life, but just wants the lives of his children and grandchildren.

As long as he has no children, Zhong Hou's power is so strong, and when the time comes, only Zhong Hou can sit in his position.

What a good strategy, neither a soldier nor a soldier, nor the mouth of the world, waiting for this terrible man.

Emperor Yan's plan also began to plan after discovering this truth, he is not completely without any power at all, this court is more to support bloodline orthodoxy.
