The remnant sun is like blood, and the afterglow is reflected in the canyon.

The canyon, which was originally invisible, was now filled with corpses all over the mountain.

Stumps and severed arms were everywhere, and the blood was so bloody that it was almost impossible to breathe.

Those who died tragically were all men in armor, and it is not difficult to see that this place has just experienced a bloody battle.

Above the pile of corpses, a figure was half-kneeling, his facial features had been covered with scabbed blood, if it weren't for the slight heaving of his chest with his breathing, he was really no different from a dead man.

In front of him, there was also a man lying in red armor, which was originally golden.

A large hole had been made in the man's chest, and when he looked inside, the wriggling organs were clearly visible, even the fragments of the exploding armor that had been inserted upside down in his internal organs.

With such an injury, even if the gods descend to earth, they can't be saved.

"Handsome ......"

He opened his mouth and cried out, and he opened a hole in his chest and spoke, trembling with his tenacity and the heart-rending pain caused by the movement of his muscles.

He had to slow down, because as soon as he opened his mouth, his throat was clogged with blood gushing up.

But he couldn't slow down, and if he didn't finish speaking, he wouldn't have a chance to say it. Half of his eyes were in the sky, and half in his eyes, he saw the face of a bull and a horse.

"What are we fighting in this battle?"

His voice suddenly became clearer, and he also had some neutrality, maybe this was a return to the light.

The half-kneeling handsome man was silent, and he didn't even bother to reach out and wipe off the thick blood scab on his face.

After a long time, the red armor's breathing that had stabilized became rapid, and it seemed that he was about to lose his breath.

"Brothers......

The kneeling handsome man finally spoke, the squirming of his lips tore the blood scab on it, and his voice was a little slurred.

"You have a good rest, I have to go back to Chenghuafu. ”

"I can't die yet, I'm going to ask him for clarification. ”

The armored one smiled, and the scar on his face looked even more terrifying than the evil spirit.

"You're not asking for us, you're for yourself!For yourself!Hahaha......"

Damn out of breath, Da Shuai gently closed his eyes for him, got up and limped off into the distance.

"Huixi Dream National Chronicles" records: In the ninth year of Dayue's appearance, the Zhenwei army fought under the command of the puppet emperor Tianxi in the Yellow Thunder Valley, and was defeated in the middle of the ambush.

......

Chenghua Mansion, the imperial city.

The ministers who greeted the new emperor had long since dispersed and gone home, and strictly speaking, there was no new emperor in the Daigaku Dynasty before the enthronement ceremony began.

Han Hui knew that even if he repeatedly reiterated that he would not spread the news three days before the enthronement ceremony, the news of the arrival of the new emperor would definitely spread throughout Chenghua Mansion before the sun rose tomorrow.

But it doesn't matter, it's just that he can't trust some big families in Chenghua's mansion, deliberately low-key, at this moment people have been connected to the imperial city, anyway, they have to announce it to the world, and the emperor is still afraid of seeing people?

In the cultivation of the heart, the fire in the room is booming, Chenghua Mansion is close to the north, the weather has become cold in the past two months, and heavy snow may fall at any time.

Han Hui looked at the young man in front of him with some distraction, the last time he saw him was six years ago on behalf of Zhang Yunlan on his southern tour, when he was still a child.

Zhang Yuntao was wearing a luxurious animal skin coat, looking a little cramped, obviously not adapting to the environment.

He looks seven points similar to his brother Zhang Yunlan, but he is still a little young because of his age, and his upright eyebrows show a cautious look.

"Your Majesty need not be nervous. Han Hui smiled and said, "In the future, the Holy Driver will live here." ”

This is the residence of Zhang Yunlan when he was recuperating, out of the protection of Zhang Yuntao who first arrived in Chenghua Mansion, he was not arranged to live in the harem for the time being, and he did not have concubines, if he lived in the harem, it would be weird.

"Brother Han. Zhang Yuntao shouted: "I ......"

"Don't call me that, Your Majesty. ”

Han Hui Zhengse stopped: "There are many rules in the palace, since Your Majesty has inherited the unification, his words and deeds are naturally different from the past, and now the country is still in turmoil, it seems that the crisis has passed, but in fact, after the death of the first emperor, I have felt that many people have begun to be restless again." ”

"Your Majesty is still young, and the last time the faint monarch escaped from Chenghua Mansion, there must be someone here to help him, this matter is not over, and there can be no mistakes. ”

"Oh. Zhang Yuntao agreed with some disappointment.

Han Hui looked at the young man like this, and secretly scolded himself in his heart, Zhang Yuntao, this child should have been at the age of being a horse and a horse, and he was happy to take revenge, but because of the death of the first emperor, he had to rush to shoulder the big responsibility, and this burden was really heavy.

Zhang Yuntao grew up in the Zhangjia Mansion in Quanyue Mansion since he was a child, although they have the name of the royal family, but they have little power, and the royal family has declined since Zhang Yue's dynasty, and their status is just the rich children who have the name of the prince.

Han Hui was also born in Quanyue Mansion, he was a well-known young talent back then, made friends with strange people from all walks of life, and had a very good relationship with the old mansion of Quanyue Mansion, and later persuaded Quanyue Mansion to fully support it when Zhang Yunlan raised troops.

At that time, Han Hui and Zhang Yunlan became brothers, and often ran to the Zhangjia Palace, the young Zhang Yuntao admired this erudite and talented eldest brother very much, and Han Hui, who often went in and out of the palace at that time, was naturally familiar with him, and liked this talented child very much.

Zhang Yuntao's father, who is nominally respected as the father of the Emperor Zhang Yunlan, is an idle prince, who lingers among the Goulan tiles all the year round, and his bad habits are still difficult to change, coupled with the early death of his mother, Zhang Yunlan, the eldest brother who is eighteen years older than him, actually shoulders the responsibility of his father.

After Zhang Yunlan ascended the throne, the sword stabbed by Zeng Xulou became an injury that could not be healed, if it weren't for Han Hui's knowledge of a divine doctor who saw the head and the tail, maybe the king of Hades would have taken Zhang Yunlan's life long ago.

It was then that Zhang Yunlan, who knew that he could not live long, began to discuss the matter of the prince with Han Hui and Yao Shubi.

It is really helpless for him and Yao Shubi to become husband and wife, the brother and sister are innocent, it is impossible to have anything, and Zeng Xulou's sword strength is cold and cold, slandering the muscles and veins of the whole body, and this kind of thing is also a kind of harm to Zhang Yunlan, even if he gives birth to the prince regardless of the dragon body and other concubines, in case the injury breaks out one day, the prince is young and ignorant, and it is likely that there will be chaos.

In this way, after discussion, the three of them hit the idea on Zhang Yuntao, who was seven years old at the time.

At the age of seven, young is too young, but it is better than letting Zhang Yunlan create a man on the spot.

But at that time, the new dynasty was established, and Chenghua Mansion was not completely controlled by Han Hui, you must know that even today, he has to beware of those big families.

Due to various complicated considerations, Zhang Yunlan decided to appoint Zhang Yuntao as the prince, but he did not announce it to the world, but Han Hui and Yao Shubi kept it secret, and when the time was ripe, they welcomed him into the Chenghua Mansion.

In fact, in the past ten years, Zhang Yuntao's security specifications in Quanyue Mansion are by no means worse than that of Zhang Yunlan, the emperor, and as Han Hui's most trusted confidant who is one of the few insiders, Quanyue Mansion Mansion has devoted all his resources to give Zhang Yuntao the best education.

Hidden dragons, not just one.

In Xiu Xin Zhai, Han Hui opened a densely written scroll and said, "Your Majesty must have also learned about the things in the palace when he was in Quanyue Mansion, but after all, he is not in the palace, and I will teach you someone after a while." ”

"But now it is a top priority, and there are some things that Your Majesty has to decide. ”

Han Hui motioned for Zhang Yuntao to look at the contents of the scroll, which recorded the plans of the Dayue Imperial Court for the next period of time, which could be described as very detailed.

"The most important thing, Your Majesty must also know, your imperial sister-in-law...... Now it is time to call the Empress Dowager, what she conspired with the first emperor and me, and the henchmen I sent to Quanyue Mansion should have also been informed to Your Majesty. ”

"The Queen Mother is now grounded by me, and the ministers of the Hou Party are also under house arrest at home, waiting to be released. Others can handle it well, after all, she is the identity of the queen mother, and she can only be convicted after Her Majesty ascends the throne. ”

Zhang Yuntao nodded to show that he understood, and let him deal with it was just a formality, just to give an explanation to the government and the opposition, as his own person, Yao Shubi would definitely retire when he arrived, and he would be lightly dismissed.

Next, Prime Minister Han Cheng explained to the young new monarch the operation of the imperial court and future plans, including the search for Zhang Tianxi and the investigation of whether there are still chaotic parties in Chenghua's mansion.

The affairs are complicated, and it is two hours to talk about it, and the sun is already sinking in the west. At dusk, the bamboo forests such as Xiuxinzhai have a unique scenery.

"Then that's all for today, and tomorrow I'll come back to discuss with Your Majesty about the anti-thief Liu Bin and the frontier. ”

Han Hui bowed to Zhang Yuntao, and the young man was still a little uncomfortable.

"Han Da...... Prime Minister," Zhang Yuntao asked in a low voice, "I...... I'm not good enough, I'm not as good as my big brother. ”

"Everything is difficult at the beginning, not to mention that governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, Your Majesty has worked very hard. Han Hui said with relief: "In the past two days, I have a good rest after learning about state affairs, and when the enthronement ceremony is completed, Your Majesty will have to be in charge of the government, and if there is anything, I will order the palace maids and eunuchs here, and they will be Your Majesty's personal subordinates in the future." ”

"Prime Minister, I don't want to use them. Zhang Yuntao suddenly popped out a sentence: "I want to let a few subordinates from Quanyue Mansion take care of it, okay?"

"Huh?" Han Hui frowned slightly, and the next moment he was immediately relieved, and said: "There has never been such a rule in the palace, but Your Majesty has not been in the palace since childhood, it is understandable to have this kind of thought, as long as these people are reliable, Your Majesty will let them live here." ”

"But before I do, I want to meet them, okay?"

Zhang Yuntao saw that Han Hui did not object, and said with a smile: "They have already been waiting outside Xiuxinzhai, and the prime minister wants to see him." ”

A look of surprise flashed in Han Hui's eyes, Zhang Yuntao seemed to be a fledgling and did not have the domineering spirit of an emperor, but in fact, he should have secretly established a set of his own team in Quanyue Mansion, if he guessed correctly, these so-called subordinates are definitely not ordinary characters.

Although this deceived him, he didn't mind.

He is selfless, if the new emperor's ability is big enough to overpower him, then what if he returns to his hometown and returns all authority?

The knock on the door suddenly sounded, and Han Hui passed the people outside the door after obtaining Zhang Yuntao's consent.

It was an old man who came in, it was the first emperor's personal eunuch Qi Gonggong.

"Slaves and maids visit the emperor, long live long live, long live. ”

"No courtesy...... You...... Get up. Zhang Yuntao stammered a little, but he gradually put himself into the role of the emperor.

It was the first time he had seen Father-in-law Qi, so he turned his puzzled eyes to Han Hui.

The prime minister naturally knew Zhang Yuntao's intentions, and said: "This is the first emperor, that is, your brother's personal eunuch, Qi Can." ”

Father-in-law Qi got up and looked at Zhang Yuntao carefully, and his eyes were moist.

Zhang Yuntao and Zhang Yunlan are so similar that Qi Can can't help but think of the first emperor.

"Ahem. Han Hui coughed all over his body and pulled Qi Can back, and if he continued like this, Zhang Yuntao would feel embarrassed.

"Qi Can, let's talk about it. ”

The old eunuch straightened his waist, and his originally sloppy eyes became extremely sharp, and he said in a deep voice: "There are a total of twenty-one people who came with Your Majesty, of which thirteen are guards, all of them are good at practicing foreign kung fu at home, six maids, talk extraordinary, and their appearance and temperament are all excellent, and the three leaders are all masters among the masters, which is enough to keep Your Majesty safe." ”

After saying this, Zhang Yuntao's eyes were about to fall.

Although he has been cultivated as a prince since he was six years old, he is quite knowledgeable, but after all, he also has a bit of a young man's heart, these twenty-one people are all private forces that he has secretly cultivated by his own means in the past few years, and he didn't tell Han Hui for anything else before, just to show off a little.

But now that Han Hui hadn't seen them, an old eunuch had found out their details, which made him not be surprised.

"Your Majesty, don't blame," Han Hui arched his hand and said: "This Qi Can also has an identity, and the first emperor knows that he is a secret agent of the first emperor, and he is in charge of collecting intelligence in addition to taking care of the first emperor's daily life. ”

"Poof!"

Qi Can knelt down heavily and said, "In the future, the life of the slave and maid will be Your Majesty's!"

The stunned expression on Zhang Yuntao's face gradually calmed down, and he was very satisfied with the meeting gift that Han Hui gave him.
