When the New Year comes, even the emperor, who is a little sad and angry, has now put on a new dragon robe. In the imperial city, although the incident of the Dexin Hall happened, many chamberlains did not dare to hang those red lanterns, but after the emperor knew about it, he said lightly, "Everything is business as usual." ”

Subsequently, the worried chamberlains breathed a sigh of relief, although they did not dare to arrange it with great fanfare, but on some bright sides, there should be arrangements.

After the emperor finished correcting the folds, he stretched his waist, even if the New Year came, the emperor's desk would still be sent from all over the place.

So being an emperor is not easy.

Gao Lishi saw the opportunity and quietly handed over a cup of freshly brewed tea, the water temperature was just right, and the emperor gently twisted the lid and took a sip.

"Yes, this is the tea that was brewed, it seems to be different from the usual. ”

Gao Lishi took a step forward, took the teacup in the emperor's hand, and replied: "Your Majesty, this is a clear tea sent by Xishu, which is said to relieve fatigue and relieve Your Majesty's long-term fatigue." ”

The emperor looked at the teacup in Gaolis's hand, and his heart was overjoyed, and he picked up the teacup again and took another sip.

"Very good, this is the only happy thing I have at the end of the year. ”

With that, the Emperor put the teacup in Colliers' hand again and was about to walk out of the room. Holding the teacup in his hand, seeing that His Majesty wanted to leave, Gao Lishi hurriedly threw the teacup in the hand of a eunuch at will, ran to the bed on the side, picked up the cloak on it, and quietly draped it on His Majesty's shoulders.

"Your Majesty, it's snowing outside, it's windy, be careful of catching a cold. ”

The emperor held the cloak with his hand and pushed open the door, and it was snowing heavily, although it had not snowed for a long time, but the inside of the imperial city had been covered with a thick layer of "quilt".

"Really, Lao Gao, it's good for you to take a walk with me, you've been in the room for a long time, and it's good to come out for a walk. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Colliers stepped forward and held on to the door, waiting for His Majesty to come out of the room.

The emperor smiled slightly, and scolded with a smile: "You are really loyal. ”

Gao Lishi smiled and said, "This is the duty of the minister. ”

The emperor flicked his sleeves and strode out of the room, Gao Lishi glanced at the attendants behind him, and said softly: "On weekdays, you deliver news for each family, and our family will not pursue it, but from today onwards, all things must not be passed on, you know?"

In the imperial study, all the chamberlains knelt on the ground one after another, shouting, "Obey the orders of Grandpa Gao." ”

Colliers glanced at this group of things that were eating inside and out, not knowing whether they were dead or alive, and he was a little bored. But seeing His Majesty the Emperor strolling down the corridor with his hands behind his back, he seemed to be in a good mood.

Gao Lishi trotted a few steps, although His Majesty the Emperor took a few steps first, but for Gao Lishi, who was the tenth out of ten people in the world, it was easy to catch up with His Majesty.

Gao Lishi stopped when he was three steps behind His Majesty, this position is very particular, taking a step forward, when His Majesty turns his head, he is very close to himself, this is an offense to Long Yan, it is a great disrespect. Take a step back, and you will be a little inaudible when Your Majesty is talking to you.

This is all the experience of the seniors who have experienced many painful experiences.

Gao Lishi can be regarded as the senior among the chamberlains, after all, he is big with gray temples

Among Ming's chamberlains, he can be regarded as an old minister of the Three Dynasties.

"Old Gao, this snow is good today. ”

Gao Lishi bent his body slightly, and echoed: "What Your Majesty said is that this heavy snow has fallen in a few years, and there is an old saying among the people, Ruixue is a good year, and I think that next year's Daming will be more brilliant under the leadership of Your Majesty." ”

The emperor touched his beard and said with a smile: "You slave, who did you learn from, you can talk like this." ”

Gao Lishi laughed and said: "Your Majesty, the old slave is telling the truth. ”

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, and kept muttering, "It's good to be honest, to be honest." ”

Colliers closed his mouth in amusement, and just stood quietly to one side, not bothering His Majesty.

The emperor stretched out his hand, and a snowflake fell on the palm of his hand, and the emperor gently grabbed the snowflake and wanted to throw it into his mouth, but the snowflake was in his hand, and it melted instantly, and the emperor opened his mouth and ate nothing.

Gao Lishi quietly asked, "Your Majesty, why don't you go and find some clean snow for you?" ”

The emperor shook his head, gently swept the snow that fell on the red railing of the corridor with his cloak, and gently lay on it, "When I was young, it was also the scene I have today, when Emperor Taizu was anxious that the first emperor and King Yan, my third uncle, were in the palace together to celebrate the New Year. At that time, I was still young and playful, and when I saw heavy snow, I opened my mouth to the sky, wanting to see if I could eat some snow. Boss, guess I have eaten it. ”

Gao Lishi arched his hand and said: "The old slave guessed that His Majesty had eaten it." ”

The Emperor was very happy, laughed twice, and then sighed softly, "Yes, I have tasted snowflakes. But the first emperor came, saying that I was the most uneducated of his children, and he was going to beat him when he raised his hand. Lao Gao, guess again, the first emperor didn't hit me. ”

Colliers decisively didn't answer, just smiled. The emperor didn't get an answer from Gao Lishi, turned around, looked at Gao Lishi's appearance, and scolded with a smile: "You cunning minion. ”

The emperor didn't ask Gao Lishi anymore, he knew that it was a capital crime to talk about the first emperor, and the only one in the world who could insult the first emperor and not be wrong was himself, but because of filial piety, he couldn't insult the first emperor.

"Of course not, when the first emperor's hand was about to fall on me, Taizu came, stopped the first emperor, and held him in his arms, very loving, and very doting to accompany me to see the snow, and asked the first emperor to accompany me as well. ”

The emperor rested his hands on the railing and his cheeks rested on his hands, supporting his body. The snowflakes are still as big as they were back then, but the ancestor who watched the snowflakes with him back then is gone, the first emperor is gone, and at his age, he is about to leave.

I'm going to die.

But before he died, who would hand over this huge country to? Before he could figure it out, he would save for the affairs of the Dexin Palace. The crown prince and the other two princes were imprisoned by themselves one after another, and now only the fourth child who he dared not face was left.

"Old Gao, how is the fourth now. ”

Gao Lishi's heart moved, and he replied: "Your Majesty, the Fourth Highness has moved out of the Zongfu since Gu Kaizhi went to the Zongfu once, and has been in the house prepared by the Zongfu these days. ”

The emperor nodded slightly, obviously satisfied with this arrangement, "Did Gu Kaizhi say anything?"

Gu Kaizhi said that the next time he came to Chang'an City, if His Royal Highness still lived in that environment, then his identity as an uncle would not agree. ”

emperor

was furious, and slapped his palm on the railing, "He Gu Kaizhi'an dares to threaten me!"

Gao Lishi said: "Your Majesty doesn't have to be like this, if Gu Kaizhi comes to the imperial city, then the slave will naturally let him know that the ranking of the ten people in the world is not the higher the higher, the more powerful the cultivation." ”

The emperor glanced at Gao Lishi, "There are ten people in the world in the rivers and lakes, it is really like this." ”

Gao Lishi smiled slightly, arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, at least the old minister is not lost to the other five people on the list." ”

The emperor was quite proud, and gently patted Gao Lishi's shoulder, "Old Gao, old Gao, with you by my side, I am not afraid of anyone." ”

Gao Lishi was about to kneel down to thank him, but was stopped by the emperor, "You and I are master and servant, there is no need to do this." ”

"Old Gao, do you know why I am making such a big move this time and want to find out who is behind the scenes?"

Gao Lishi thought for a moment and said, "Presumably those people annoyed Your Majesty. ”

The Emperor shook his head and stepped into the snow, letting it fall on his shoulders.

"It's not like this, above the Ming Dynasty, there are always two places, if I don't solve it in front of me, even if I go underground, I won't have the face to see the ancestors and ancestors. ”

"As soon as Chao Cuo and I said, the vassal king supports the army and stands on his own, which is the most urgent problem in the Ming Dynasty at present, and it is also the problem left by Taizu back then. ”

"I might as well tell you directly, this was the problem that Taizu left to the first emperor back then, for those old brothers who fought the world with Taizu, Taizu couldn't do it, and Taizu looked forward to the first emperor's move. It's a pity that Taizong died a little early, and he didn't have time to do it, and now this question is left to me. ”

Probably a little thirsty, the emperor paused slightly. Then he said: "Then I spent a lot of time fighting wits and courage with these vassal kings, and I figured out their strength, but I am also old, and I don't have the teeth to gnaw this bone." ”

"But I can't leave it to my sons to solve this problem, they are all still young, and trying to deal with the seven great vassal kings is tantamount to a fool's dream. Therefore, even if I am old, I will beat them down, leaving my son with a group of tigers with their teeth removed, so that they will be powerless in the face of the next emperor. ”

After all, the emperor couldn't bear the heavy snow and fell on his shoulders, and some of them were about to fall.

"Your Majesty. ”

Colliers screamed and hurriedly held the emperor to prevent him from falling. With the help of Gao Lishi, the emperor stabilized his figure, waved his hand to break free from Gao Lishi's support, and forcibly stood between heaven and earth.

"If I don't die for a day, I will still be the master of this world, and this problem is difficult for me. ”

"I have a second thing I want to do. In this world, martial artists have violated the ban with martial arts, ignoring the law of the country for a long time, and I have long seen that they are unhappy, so I have to suppress these martial artists and make them abide by the law, otherwise we will usher in the crusade of my Ming soldiers. Don't even think about running away. ”

With that, the emperor raised his right hand high and shook it fiercely at the snowflakes falling from the sky. In an instant, a phantom appeared behind the emperor, and the phantom was in the shape of a dragon, entrenched behind the emperor, and even Gao Lishi knelt on the ground at the moment when the phantom appeared.

With the emperor's hand, the phantom behind him slowly opened his golden eyes and screamed at the heavens and the earth.

"I am the Son of Heaven. ”
