Chapter 12: Emperor Wu of Wei
"What are you going to do with us? When she came to the market town with three surnames, the chubby woman opened her mouth and scolded.
"How to deal with it?" Li Ling's mouth curled, and he no longer used his tongue to explain that he was not a demon cultivator at all, teasing her, "I'm going to kill the man, and the woman, I'll rape first and then kill her." ”
The faces of several monks changed greatly, Li Ling didn't care about a few people, leaned down and tied a few people together, starting with Zeng Tao, turning out his belongings and some pills, and then looting the remaining people, and the harvest was not small.
After doing all this, he took out the key to the trapped dragon lock that he had turned out from the two demon cultivators, tied it with a rope, hung it above the heads of several people with a stick, and took out the flint to light a wooden stick and put it on the rope.
It is estimated that the wooden stick can burn to the rope in a day, and the rope will be burned, and the key will fall in front of several people.
Several monks understood Li Ling's intentions, and their eyes were no longer full of hostility.
"Alright. Li Ling clapped his hands, "I also saved you, and your belongings are my reward, don't trouble me in the future, bye." ”
After he finished speaking, he strode away, leaving several people looking at each other.
Li Ling will not be an indiscriminate good person, and let a few people go on the spot, in this world, it is not easy for a good person to do.
Maybe as soon as he released a few people, they would arrest him as a monster or kill him.
I think that he also helped his grandmother cross the road, sent the injured uncle to the hospital, and gave up his seat to the pregnant woman on the bus, but in exchange for being blackmailed by the grandmother and the old uncle, and ridiculed by the pregnant woman for being stupid......
He was originally penniless, but now he robbed two demon cultivators and a few people, which can be regarded as a small fortune, which is enough for him to spend for a long time.
According to the instructions on the map, Xiaoxing stayed overnight all the way, and did not dare to stay longer, during which he bought a horse to make foot power, and it took seven or eight days to finally arrive at Jian'an, the capital of the Great Wei Kingdom.
Standing under the city of Jian'an, looking up, this city wall is thirty or forty zhang, majestic and majestic, standing in the clouds, the city wall can be seen everywhere the traces of swords cut, and the city bricks that have become dark red due to the penetration of blood and erosion over the years.
I don't know how many wars this ancient city has experienced and how many masters have changed?
Twenty years ago, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out in Wei, and the war swept the country.
At that time, Cao Yang coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and with the support of the largest Xiuzhen sect in the Wei State, the Miao Feng, the rebel army, after ten years of campaigning, the Wei State finally restored the previous situation.
After Cao Yang abolished the former Wei Emperor and established himself as Emperor Wu of Wei, vigorously developed agriculture and industry, and implemented a series of policies to recuperate with the people.
Cao Yang can be called a generation of heroes.
It's just that in recent years, Emperor Wu of Wei is old and lacks energy, and because of the nine sons who have seized the heirs, they have fought openly and secretly for the throne, formed gangs, and become corrupt.
Li Ling led the horse into the capital, and the pedestrians were weaving, bustling, and all kinds of cries and sales came and went, and they were prosperous.
He asked the Air Transport Division, the department in charge of air transportation in the Ming Capital, but was told that the large flying birds flying to Qin had already departed every three days, and he had to wait seven days for the next flight, so he had no choice but to find an inn near the Air Transport Division to stay.
Li Ling lives in one of the most luxurious inns in Jian'an City, now he is not bad for money, rich, capricious, he is alone, the whole family is not hungry, and he is not frugal like in his previous life to pay off mortgages, car loans, for children to go to school, there are all kinds of life pressure, of course, you have to learn to enjoy.
For the first time, he felt that it was good to travel to this other world.
......
Wei Imperial Palace.
The palace is brightly lit, brightly lit, pavilions and pavilions, extremely luxurious, the palace maids and eunuchs are cautious, expressionless, and seem to dare not even make a sound when walking, accompanied by the monarch like a tiger, these people are accustomed to seeing the ruthlessness of the emperor's family, and they know that if they are not careful, they may lose their lives
It was not yet winter, but there was a big stove in the house, which made the temperature in the house the same as in midsummer.
The five palace maids on both sides were wearing single clothes, still faint sweat, and their faces were red.
There was a strong smell of medicine in the room, and the old man on the bed was wearing thick clothes, his face was bloodless, his eyes were blue, and he coughed violently from time to time.
An old eunuch dressed in brocade hurriedly walked into the room, approached the old man's bed, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the eldest prince asks to see you." ”
The old man on the bed is Cao Yang, Emperor Wu of Wei, and it has been rumored that Emperor Wu of Wei has been old and his energy is not as good as before these years, but he knows that he has reached the point of running out of oil and running out of lights, and he may die at any time, but this news is concealed by some people with ulterior motives.
This brocade-clothed eunuch is Sima Ru, the leader eunuch who has followed Emperor Wei Wu all his life, and he is the only eunuch in the entire palace who dares to break into Emperor Wei's room directly.
After listening to the words of the eunuch in brocade, Emperor Wei Wu came back to his senses for a long time, stretched out his hand and gestured two fingers.
Sima Ru waited for Emperor Wei Wu all his life, and he didn't know what this gesture meant, so he said in a low voice: "The slave will go and let the eldest prince go back." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud voice came from outside the house, "Father, you look good today." ”
A man of about thirty walked in, the man walked in a dragon, tall and powerful.
This person is Cao Xiong, the eldest son of Emperor Wu of Wei, although he is the eldest son, he is not the crown prince today. In fact, he was the crown prince who was established back then, but later he was deposed for some reasons, and Emperor Wu of Wei set up the second prince Cao Hang as the crown prince.
At that time, Emperor Wu of Wei abolished the crown prince in the court and caused an uproar in the court, and was rejected by many ministers, but Emperor Wu of Wei overrode public opinion and insisted on appointing the three princes as the crown princes.
At that time, there were different opinions, among which the most widely circulated in private, and the most gossiped was that the eldest prince molested Emperor Wei's favorite concubine Zhen was abolished, of course, people only dared to talk to the closest people in private, and did not dare to circulate, you must know that this is a big crime to kill the head.
Whether this statement is true or not is unknown, but after Emperor Wei Wu abolished the crown prince, he had a serious illness, and his body was not as good as getting up day by day, although he took the elixir of the Ethereal Peak all year round, the effect was not very great.
It was at that time that chaos began to emerge in the DPRK and China, and there was a situation in which nine sons seized the heir.
After all these years, I didn't expect that Cao Xiong, the deposed prince, would regain the initiative and win the support of most important ministers.
After Cao Xiong came in, he frowned and ordered the palace maid on the side: "In such a hot weather, take this stove away and open the window, my father has been ill for a long time, and he should breathe more fresh air outside." ”
Several palace maids looked at each other, with fear in their eyes, and looked at Sima Ru.
"Bold minions, this king asked you to move the stove away, didn't you hear?" Seeing that several palace maids were indifferent, Cao Xiong snorted and said angrily: "Come on, pull these two bold minions down and cut them down." “
Two wolf-like soldiers walked in and pulled the two palace maids led by them down, and the two palace maids knew that begging for mercy was useless, so they did not make a sound, but just wept.
Cao Xiongguang stared coldly at the remaining palace maids, who did not dare to disobey, hurriedly removed the stove, opened the window, and retreated.
Emperor Wei Wudi's face was slightly red, he gasped for a while, and said to Cao Xiong: "You are very good, very good, I don't want to see you, get out of me..."
"Erchen didn't want to enter the palace either. Cao Xiong smiled: "It's just that Concubine Zhen has been in poor health recently, I'm here to visit, I just came out of Concubine Zhen, and I stopped by to see if my father's illness has healed." ”
"You rebel!" Emperor Wei Wu was furious, struggling to get up from the bed, but as soon as he moved, he coughed violently.
