Volume 1 Sunset Harvest Chapter 67 The Will of Emperor Daqi
As the king of the Great Qi Dynasty beckoned, the entire imperial city was in motion.
First of all, the eunuch who had been waiting outside the hall hurriedly picked up a thing that he didn't know what it was and ran towards a certain place in the palace, and after a while, several figures ran in different directions, and in front of a more remote palace, there was an old eunuch pulling a little eunuch to hide behind a tree, and the old eunuch said in a serious whisper: "Hurry up and send it to His Royal Highness, it's too late, watch your head!"
The little eunuch lowered his head, and there was no panicked expression on his little face, "Ancestor, rest assured, my son has done it several times, and I promise to deliver it." β
As he spoke, he hid the note in the lantern and trotted away in the direction of the palace gate.
The old eunuch looked at his back, thought about it, and then turned around and walked towards the depths of the palace, although this imperial city is one of the most well-behaved places in the world, His Majesty the emperor is also one of the most powerful people in this world, and the control of the imperial city and even the entire Daqi can be regarded as very firm, but even so, in the shadows of this imperial city, there will be many things that he can't see, maybe he can't afford to take care of if he sees it.
The same thing happened everywhere in the Imperial City, and just after the Great Qi Emperor beckoned, at least twenty places in the Xian Mall knew the news.
......
......
In the mansion closest to the imperial city, the young prince opened the note in his hand, looked at the few lines on it, frowned slightly, and then pinched the note and put it on the candle flame, lit it, and quickly turned into ashes.
Still in front of the case, the steward asked, "Your Highness, what is Your Majesty's will?"
The young prince frowned and said, "It's not like it was hundreds of years ago. β
Hundreds of years ago, the current Emperor of Daqi, at that time was only a prince, and several of his brothers were just like today's princes, waiting for the trial of the first emperor, and at that time, it is said that the first emperor personally drew an enchantment in the Xian Mall, let a group of princes and practitioners enter it, fight each other, and the final winner is the Great Qi Emperor, so after that day, the first emperor will hand over more government affairs to the Great Qi Emperor, and after observing for decades, the first emperor Dragon returned to the sky, and the Great Qi Emperor became the new Great Qi monarchγ
It can be said that now the Great Qi Emperor's real path to the Dragon Chair started from the trial of the first emperor, so they absolutely believe that the Great Qi Emperor will definitely attach great importance to this trial, maybe he will abandon the trial adopted hundreds of years ago, and directly put a group of Mesozoic powerhouses in today's cultivation world together, and let them fight to get the result.
However, almost everyone guessed wrong.
This time, Emperor Daqi did not do so.
The young prince looked out the window and frowned, "What exactly does the father want to do?"
......
......
Prince Yu's mansion is not big, it is the farthest from the imperial city, it is easy to know his status in the heart of Emperor Daqi, if he changes others, maybe he has already been in a panic, but Prince Yu knows that even if the situation is not good, if he gives up on himself, then he is likely to be completely abandoned, so over the years, he has always maintained the bearing of the royal family and nobles, behaved as a person, and never lost the face of the royal family.
Perhaps it was because of this that even if he was disliked by Emperor Daqi, he did not have a worse life.
When the Confucian scholar stepped into the prince's mansion with the news, the prince of Yu was boiling tea, the water was the well water in the backyard, and the tea was the tribute tea given by the womb a few days ago.
The Confucian scholar was brought here by the housekeeper, and when he saw Prince Yu like this, he said helplessly: "Your Highness, the palace and the palace are about to explode, why are you still so leisurely?"
Prince Yu smiled and pushed the teacup in front of the Confucian scholar, and said indifferently: "If I had the qualifications to worry, I would definitely jump up in a hurry, but I can't do anything, I can only pretend that I don't worry about anything, sir, how can you not know me?"
The Confucian priest picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then said bluntly: "The news from the palace has come out, and it is definitely good news for His Highness." β
He looked happy, as if he had learned that he had won the top prize in high school.
Prince Yu asked, "What is the will of my father?"
The Confucian scholar didn't say it explicitly, just stood up, and then solemnly knelt down towards Prince Yu and said seriously: "Congratulations to Your Highness." β
......
......
Near the imperial city are not only the residences of several princes, but also a high-rise building.
That tall building is not the residence of some dignitaries, but in the hearts of all scholars in the world, it should be the most sacred building.
That building is called Chongwen Building, it is a library building, it should be the largest library building in the whole world, almost all the works of Confucian sages are collected here, and the things written by the three princes of the past dynasties are the same as a lot here, and there are even many classics that have been broken in the world, and there are only books here.
Confucian scholars have never had any sects, but among the practitioners in the cultivation world, they always regard Chongwenlou as a Confucian sect.
And in fact, as long as the three princes ascend to the heights, the vast majority of the scholars in the whole world will be called.
Because the third prince will stay here when he has nothing to do, Chongwen Building has become the most sacred building.
Except, of course, Dazai.
When the whole Xian Mall began to have an undercurrent, Taifu, dressed in a sackcloth robe, walked slowly down the stairs with a stack of books, and came to a high platform, where a wooden table was placed, and Taifu put the books on it, picked up a book and began to flip through it.
The head of the Three Princes, the leader of the scholars in the whole world, is gray-haired, not very tall, and even a hunchbacked old man, with a face similar to that of most of the old people in the world, and it is absolutely impossible for people who do not know him to associate him with the word Taifu.
In the eyes of all the people in the world who have never seen Taifu Cui Pu, how can Taifu look like this?
Not long after, there was an old man with the same white hair in front of the high platform walking slowly, it was the Taibao Lord, compared with the Taifu, this Taibao Lord's figure was much taller, and his face was full of serious looks, I don't know if it was because he had been lecturing for the princes all year round, but it always gave people a sense of solemnity.
Arching his hand towards Taifu, after Taibao sat down, he said in a deep voice: "The news from the palace has come out, and Your Majesty's thoughts are a little eyebrows." β
Taifu stared at the book in front of him, but said: "Who Your Majesty chooses to be the crown prince, and how to choose, is originally just a private matter, no matter who the princes are the emperor, there is no problem, Daqi will be peaceful, this kind of thing, what is the use of you caring for it?"
Taifu is well-known for being upright and peaceful, and has the most Confucian style, and he never asks about the monarch's choice of the prince, and he doesn't want to think about which practitioners are involved, so when Taibao speaks, he is a little displeased.
"How to choose, who to choose. It's true that these two issues are not for us to deal with, but I will tell you, not this one. β
Taibao said seriously: "Do you remember the Six Emperors?"
Taifu frowned, the Six Emperors naturally knew.
A few years ago, Daqi started a war against the six kingdoms of Nanling, which began in Northern Yan and ended in Southern Chu, and it took only a few years to destroy the last six small states of Nanling one by one.
The current territory of the Six Kingdoms is the territory of Great Qi.
The people of the six countries of Nanling have become the people of Daqi.
The six monarchs of the small country were all taken to the Xian Mall.
I don't know if it's a coincidence or what, these six monarchs, all young people who are no more than thirty years old, after being confined in Xian Mall, not only were they not given poisoned wine by Emperor Daqi, but they arranged for Daqi's cultivators to lead these young monarchs of the dead country to practice.
This matter has always been the talk of the people of Daqi after tea and dinner, and it has lasted for a long time, no one knows what His Majesty the Emperor is thinking, only some strong cultivators have guessed some things that are not boundary.
However, what is even more convincing is that Emperor Daqi wants to let those fallen monarchs dilute the revenge in their hearts through practice, after all, it is difficult to restore the country, but cultivation is not so difficult, and after they are immersed in cultivation, they probably won't think about the restoration of the country anymore.
After all, there is still immortality to be sought in this practice, and it is not ethereal.
In any case, if those dead monarchs had stayed in the salty mall and didn't cause any trouble, no one would have said anything.
But this time, the news that the Taibao knew about these dead monarchs.
"Your Majesty is determined to let the Six Emperors also participate in the trial. β
Taifu frowned, put down the scroll in his hand, and after a moment of silence, he immediately said: "This is not in line with etiquette, I want to enter the palace." β
Taibao nodded and said: "The choice of succession to the throne, in previous years, it was enough to bring those cultivators, and now it has brought the Six Emperors, which is indeed wrong, but Your Majesty's will, I don't know if it can be changed." β
"As long as the decree has not been handed down, everything is possible. β
Taifu pondered: "This is like this, it is a mess of the system." β
Taibao didn't speak, he just passed the news on, in the end, it had to be Taifu to come forward, although the three princes were tied, but there were also high and low.
Taifu's right to speak will always be the heaviest one.
"But what the hell is Your Majesty thinking?"
This was Taifu's first thought after learning the news.
I'm afraid this is also the idea of Taibao.
"He thinks, you just go and ask if you can't. β
At this moment, a voice came out, and the two leaders of the scholars knew who it was without looking for the owner of the voice.
There is only one person who can eavesdrop behind these two and dare to interject.
Dazai-sama, who is also the third public.
Taifu didn't speak, but as a breeze blew, a white-robed man appeared in front of them, with a sword hanging from his waist and a wine jug in his hand, only middle-aged, compared to Taifu and Taibao, I don't know how much younger he was.
"Gu Bai, I've said it many times, I want to call Your Majesty!"
Taibao spoke in a deep voice, but there was no blame in his words.
Dazai raised the flask and took a sip of wine, grinning, "That's your majesty, not mine." β
Such rebellious words, if they are listened to by someone with a heart, they will definitely make a lot of trouble, but Dazai doesn't care, he just looks at Taifu and says: "Old man Cui, please help me when I enter the palace, I will leave for a few days." β
"If Your Majesty sets a date for the trial, you will naturally have to preside over the sacrifice, what should you do if you leave now?"
Dazai smiled: "I can't make a mistake, it's just to fight, don't worry, whether I win or lose, I will definitely run back." β
As soon as the words fell, Dazai threw the flask in his hand, and before Taibo and Taifu could speak, they disappeared.
Taifu took the flask, looked at the wind and snow in the distance, and was silent.
Both of them knew that Gu Bai said it lightly, but who knew if he could come back or not.
Taibao felt annoyed when he thought of those things, he looked at the distance and said angrily: "A good scholar, what do you do when you practice swords?"
Sword practice is sword practice.
As a sword cultivator, how could he allow that female sword immortal to be the leader of the sword path.
So Dazai's go, it's a life-and-death battle, absolutely dangerous.
But there are still fewer swords buried in that sea, and Dazai is not missing.
But who in the world can stop Gu Bai?
ββ
Li Bai is here again, and I have more or less mentioned it in my past two books, after all, it is my favorite poet, and this time, he is here again.
