Imperial Tomb Life
The Imperial Tomb is actually a magnificent structure located in a canyon, a mausoleum designed by the first king of the East China Sea, a resting place for the dead, and a place for the living to die.
The former is actually very easy to understand, but the latter is a bit unbelievable, no one knows why he wants to create a mausoleum keeper system, and treat the imperial tomb as an institution that is completely separated from the imperial court, not governed by the imperial court, and even restricts the imperial court, and the rules in the institution are extremely strict, and the depression makes people breathless. The strength of this institution is undeniable, and it will always save the Tokai Imperial Court in times of crisis and keep its rule alive.
This is actually the purpose of that king: to maintain the Jiang dynasty forever, so that the descendants of his faction can always rule this land, so he is completely prepared.
This preparation was so well prepared that when Shangguan Yi saw the building of the Imperial Mausoleum and felt its breath, he was shocked, and then reluctantly continued to sit in the carriage and follow in.
He will behave like this because...... This imperial tomb is actually a large array, and its construction is based on a designed feng shui array, which looks unremarkable, but in fact, it has been condensing qi luck in peace and stability, and has not launched its power. If one of the formations is activated, what kind of power can it produce, Shangguan Yi can't answer this question, because he doesn't know.
When the gap is so big that you can only look up, people don't bother to calculate these, anyway, Shangguan Yi can't deal with it, it is estimated that it is used to deal with the masters of the Five Heavens?
But this is not the reason why he is unhappy, not being able to deal with it now does not mean that he can't deal with it in the future, the green mountains do not change, the green water flows for a long time, just walk and see. What he couldn't accept was ...... In the Imperial Mausoleum, he could only obediently recover his internal strength, and he could not cultivate. Although the aura here is very fragrant, but he can't absorb it, these are the national fortunes of the East China Sea, even if he takes away a trace, he is tied to the chariot of the East China Sea, and there may be big problems in the future. You can only watch it but not eat it, which is naturally quite uncomfortable, and when this kind of thing happens twice in a row, it is natural to be unhappy.
"The East China Sea is prosperous. Yue You's feelings, she can naturally see the clues here, but it's not as sullen as Shangguan Yi who is greedy and doesn't dare to eat, she doesn't need Qi Yun to cultivate, so she won't have any troubles, and it's none of her business. However, she didn't know the secret of Shangguan Yi's cultivation, so she was still a little curious about Shangguan Yi's reaction at the moment.
"Definitely. Shangguan Yi stared at the wall outside the window with dead fish eyes, this was an undeniable fact, he had to admit it.
"But we shouldn't be able to participate in this ceremony, right? Yue turned her head to look at the emperor.
Jiang Li nodded: "This ceremony is quite special, you can only stay in the outermost area of the imperial tomb, you can't go deeper." ”
"That's fine. Yue said that he understood, people are worshipping their ancestors, not playing monkeys, how can they invite any onlookers? According to the importance they attach to the imperial mausoleum, they can let themselves and others come in to take care of the emperor's face, otherwise they can only stay outside the imperial mausoleum and wait for the emperor to come out.
"Mm-hmm, that's good. Shangguan Yi nodded again and again, he was tired, since he couldn't cultivate, then go to sleep.
......
Soon, the carriage stopped, and the group got out of the carriage, and after placing Shangguan Yi and the others in the outer area first, the rest of the people continued to move forward and entered the inner area of the imperial tomb, where they would rest for one night and then perform the ceremony tomorrow.
It should be mentioned that although the emperor brought a lot of accompanying officials, and some of them were also familiar with the business, these people were also left in the outer areas, and even Qian Quanlin was treated like this, only the prince and the emperor and a few people in the secret guard could enter.
The reason is probably simple and hurtful: they are not trusted. In order to be 100% safe, anyone who is not completely sure that they will not threaten something in the Imperial Tomb is not allowed to enter.
In fact, everyone has more or less guessed this, but I don't know what everyone thinks in their hearts, anyway, Shangguan Yi, Yue and others don't care, I'm afraid that those officials will be dissatisfied.
However, the facts are actually a little different from what Shangguan Yi thought. These people are not allowed to enter only because they are not so closely connected to the royal family, like the prince, who has served the royal family all his life, is loyal, and he also has a secret identity: he is a hidden in the system of mausoleum keepers. So he is qualified to enter the interior of the Imperial Tomb, including those few secret guards, they are all hidden.
The so-called hidden is that when the castle tower discovers that the next generation of kings has made a choice by the will of the East Sea, he will send someone to protect the chosen one, and the person sent is hidden. The will of the East China Sea mentioned here is actually the blue sea, blue sky and bright moon lantern, this is another ritual, which requires the name of the emperor's heir and the eight characters of the birth date to divination, and the specific kinds will not be said. All in all, although the prince seems to have little ability, he is indeed hidden.
This kind of thing, the emperor didn't explain, she just knew, on the third day of the Lost Soul Empty Valley, when the castle tower had a showdown with her. The reason why she didn't explain was because she knew that Qian Quanlin didn't mind, and Yue Zhengdao didn't mind, as for the other officials, they were just tools to use, and they had to hold back their opinions if they had them, because she didn't care about their opinions.
At this time, it may seem that it is a little redundant for her to eliminate the devil and spies before entering the imperial mausoleum, but in fact, although Shangguan Yi and they can only stay in the outer area of the imperial mausoleum, it does not restrict their freedom, and they can walk around in this area casually. Don't think it's nothing, in fact, the outer area is the most vibrant and interesting place in this institution, the library pavilion, the Tai Hospital, etc. are all here, and the various talents who are being trained are also living here. Therefore, it is actually the best choice to let Shangguan Yi and them be stationed here, and there are conditions for what they want to do.
Although the sparrows are small, this is the imperial mausoleum, most of them should be there, and there are even some places that should not be.
However, these are meaningless to Shangguan Yi, he doesn't want to go anywhere in the room, so he can recuperate with peace of mind.
In the seven days that the emperor went to hold the ceremony and discuss things, Shangguan Yi never stepped out of the room except for the necessary physical needs. Others often come to visit the door, and even his teacher came once, the same guy who took the place of the castle guard to preside over the security of the imperial tomb for a period of time. He came once, looked at Shangguan Yi's injuries, and discussed the matter of the medicine with Shangguan Yi.
Shangguan Yi was eager to find the formula for that medicine, with one hundred and eighty pieces, he basically declared himself invincible, and he was more sure of breaking into the rivers and lakes.
It's just that the teacher regretfully told him that this is impossible, the prescription is estimated to have been lost, and blindly relying on foreign objects is not a good strategy, and the top priority is to find a way to solve this hidden danger forever.
However, Shangguan Yi said, I understand the reason, who wants to solve it forever for a while? It's just that it is very difficult to solve, so we need insurance for the transition period.
But no matter how Shangguan Yi asked, the teacher's answer was: I don't know the prescription, I don't know its name, and there is only that one, so it makes no sense for you to ask me.
Shangguan Yi knew that even if he knew something, he wouldn't tell himself, so he could only give up looking for clues from him and think of other ways.
In addition to this episode, Shangguan Yi's biggest gain in the past few days is to recuperate from internal injuries, of course, this is also due to the medicines and medicinal diets sent by the people in the imperial tomb. This is what the emperor ordered these people to send, of course, there is also the meaning of the castle guard, and he won't fail to see things that the demon can see, and this guy's future is definitely not ordinary, so he has to show favor in advance. What's more, this person is still the disciple of the next heavenly guard, although that guy is awkward, refusing to let him call him master, and only taking the name of a teacher, but how can he not see through this after living for so long? When he was going to go to the Lost Soul Empty Valley to watch the battle, that guy secretly asked himself to take care of his several disciples, so as not to let them be damaged inside. He promised that in the final battle, if the emperor hadn't made the first move, he would have stopped the demon from continuing to attack, because he couldn't let the demon kill Shangguan Yi, and he couldn't explain afterwards.
People sent it over, Shangguan Yi has no reason to refuse, if he insists on not accepting it, both sides will not look good on their faces, and I am afraid that they will not be able to untie the bond with the East China Sea, if they really can't get along in the future, this may not be a retreat, of course, it is almost the final retreat.
During these seven days, the emperor was busy like a dog, first holding a ceremony, and then discussing various rules with the castle guard and the earth guard. She is well versed in the truth of bargaining, first making all kinds of unreasonable demands, and then slowly regressing in the discussion, and also making the other party regress, and finally reaching various rule changes in her favor.
For example, on the issue of her gender, "Women are not allowed to be emperors unless necessary." This is the most urgent, even if the emperor doesn't say it, the mausoleum guards have to mention it. After all, you are a man, and when you choose a concubine, you can only choose a woman, two women...... In this era, it is impossible to do such a thing as inheritance, and as for whether the emperor will like girls, they have never thought about it, and they dare not move this thought. Because what she wants to do, even the mausoleum keeper can't stop it, and then there will be a headache if there are no offspring.
Fortunately, the emperor's sexual orientation is very normal, and the person she likes is a boy, which also makes them breathe a sigh of relief.
Of course, the emperor can't just forget it, and she will explain some things clearly to these people in advance, so as not to point fingers and annoy people when she gets it.
These things refer to: first, you don't care who I marry; second, I don't want you to interfere when I marry or anything, because I am more anxious than you; third, there will only be one person in my harem, and there may be no heirs, so I will keep King Ning alive, and he can continue to be his king of Ning, but if there is a marriage or something in the future, all will be handed over to him, and the problem of heirs will also be solved by him.
The mausoleum guards who listened to this series of words broke out in a cold sweat and spoke out to dissuade them, but it was useless, because in the final analysis, the final decision-maker was Jiang Li, and when she got the real emperor's position, all they could do was to admonish them, no different from those civil officials.
This is something that the emperor has wanted to do for a long time, but she couldn't do it before, there were too many resistances, including people she liked who were persuading her to open a harem...... But now, she can be willful and do what she likes.
Therefore, this matter was finally passed, because they thought about it carefully, in fact, who the emperor was with, when he was together, and how many people he was with were all her business, and all she cared about was ...... There is no heir. At that time, if the emperor has been married for several years, if he has no heirs, let's talk about it, anyway, King Ning is just a backup plan after all, and it is better not to use it.
I have to say that this kind of thing is acceptable, and they just calmly discussed it for a while, and it was just a small scene to revise the rules of the battle for the throne, pardon Qian Quanlin, and let him continue to be a general.
Of course, this is also because the battle for the throne is actually just a formality, no matter how big the power in the hands of the prince is, it can't break the power that the imperial tomb can control, some things are doomed after all, and only the battle for the throne that is not destined for the result is really necessary to divide a high down to determine success or failure. That's why there are rules for the battle for the throne, but unfortunately the rules are never absolutely fair, the important thing is how to use it.
In addition to these two things, there are some other rules to change, and she also wants to add some other rules and formulate new institutions, which need to be carefully considered and consumed, which is why it has been delayed for so long.
......
I was very happy in the past seven days of the month, and Hua Xiangrong and Feng Li wandered around every day, having fun, chatting, playing chess and playing the piano, and even studying dishes, just like a good girlfriend.
Her injuries are all trivial, just take care of them a little, as for internal injuries...... In fact, she didn't suffer any internal injuries, she had already recovered when Shangguan Yi gave her the treatment of qi induction and pulse amputation, and after this battle, she completely opened her heart knot and became much more cheerful.
When she told Jiang Li about these things at night, the latter was quite envious, it was simply lemon essence on the line, pestering the moon to play with her, but it was just to say that she was very busy and wanted to go back to Kyoto as soon as possible to see how that person would react when she heard these amazing things "My lord, times have changed".
What? Why did the two of them sleep together?
The emperor's reason is that he is afraid of the dark, and he can't sleep when the lamp is lit, and you don't have the kind of treatment I have in the palace, and there are a few maids I have cultivated to guard me anytime and anywhere, so what's wrong with me sleeping with my best friend? Anyway, they are all women, what are you afraid of.
The mausoleum guards were speechless, so they could only let it go, and the one who was sleeping on didn't seem to have any opinion anyway?
Month:????
In fact, the emperor still wants to exchange some ideas with Yue, what she wants to do is to innovate, create a new future, how much power will have great responsibility, those mausoleum guards have not seen too much of the world, and they do not have such lofty ideas, they are too feudal, not the kind of think tank that the emperor needs.
Well, that's incidental, she just wants to talk to her about all sorts of messy ideas.
