Chapter 407: The First Encounter Between the Puppet Emperor and the White Fox Prince
Toei Edo, the Emperor's Imperial Palace.
He sat on the high throne, looked at Dongying, who was already at the end of his rope, and smiled self-deprecatingly.
Harumaki Abe also died, and his only friend, his patron saint, died.
The road to the emperor is lonely, and the end of his life is inevitably to be walked alone.
Unexpectedly, in the end, things turned out to be the way they are now......
There is no Dongying Empire in this world for a long time, and he, the emperor, is just a remnant of that ancient empire!
Since that war, Dongying has been abandoned by this world for more than 30 years, and has been forgotten for more than 30 years.
In a great battle that year, Dongying was defeated, and his grandfather, father, uncle, aunt, sister, brother, and all the royal families in the side were killed by the "Renjian" in the "Three Musketeers of China"!
The sky has no eyes, and the "benevolent sword" is not benevolent!
He lost all his relatives, and he has to thank "Renjian" for not killing. And the reason why "Ren Jian" didn't kill him was just because he was the youngest member of the Dongying royal family, and he was the most suitable to use as a puppet to appease the people of Dongying who had decided to submit!
Is this a joke?
But the joke isn't funny!
The purpose of "Renken" leaving him was to stabilize the hearts of Toei's people and weaken the emperor's influence on Toei. When the people of Toei completely forget him as an emperor, he will be ruthlessly discarded like garbage.
Facts have proved that "Renjian" is indeed very powerful. At least when it comes to calculating people's hearts, no one is his opponent.
For those Dongying people who were unwilling to surrender to China, the emperor was the banner of their restoration, a belief, a symbol.
As long as the emperor's bloodline is still there, Toei will not be considered a dead country!
However, the emperor remained, and the sovereignty, dignity, and the most precious bushido spirit of the Toei people slowly eroded in the long peace. Today's Dongying, just like the Chinese in the past, is willing to surrender to the iron hooves of foreign races, and is willing to degenerate, and become slaves and slaves!
People who don't even treat themselves as human beings can expect others to see themselves?
If this trend continues, it is only a matter of time before Dongying is assimilated by Huaxia.
However, there are still some smart people among the Dongying people. They saw the results of the surrender and the future development early on, so they have been actively participating in the independence of Dongying.
And if you want to revolt, you have to pull a big banner.
Emperor Toei, this name, is also of this use.
Huaxia used him as a puppet, and Dongying used him as a banner. Both sides valued him very much, but they did not treat him as a man of flesh and blood.
When he ascended to the throne of the emperor, he was just a doll who was not yet a year old, he didn't understand anything, he couldn't even speak, he didn't know that what was sitting under him was not a supreme throne, but a big furnace, and sooner or later he would be scorched all over the young and weak!
When he grows up, those so-called last loyal ministers of Dongying will appear, and they will talk in his ear all day about the responsibilities of being the emperor's bloodline and the deep blood feud of Dongying.
Restoration!
Restoration!!
Restoration !!
Restoration !!!
He is just a child, where can he bear the burden of recovering the country!
On the surface, they worship him as the emperor, but in fact, like Huaxia, they are just using him as a puppet!
He had no relatives or friends, and was trapped in the Emperor's palace since he was a child, unable to see the outside world.
Premature maturity withered his soul, and the heavy burden overwhelmed his soul.
How many times did he want to just leave everything behind and leave Dongying, but every time he was discovered by those "loyal" ministers, and finally failed to do so under their obstruction.
Until that day, Abe Harumi appeared.
He still remembers the scene when he first met Abe on that day.
On that day, he once again ran out of the Emperor's palace and wandered aimlessly through the streets of Edo.
Anyway, he will be caught by them soon, so it is better to play on the streets of Edo before they find him. Although he is the emperor, he has no freedom compared to ordinary children. Being able to let go of those troubles of recovering the country and have fun like an ordinary child is a luxury that he can't ask for.
At that time, Dongying had just been defeated and was forced to merge into Huaxia and become the 11th District of the Huaxia Overseas Special Administrative Region. Because of well-known reasons, Huaxia has a great prejudice against Dongying and does not care about the development of Dongying. As a result, the economy of Dongying after the war was scarce, people's livelihood withered, and the streets were full of gangsters, thieves, warblers, and underworld members...... Whenever a country suffers a major disaster, these black organizations will always grow very quickly.
He knew that they couldn't be blamed for this, they were hungry, and there would always be some people who couldn't survive and went down the wrong path.
This is the sin of the state, not theirs.
He was the emperor, and although he was just a puppet, he was not mistreated for food, clothing, housing, and transportation. This time he sneaked out of the Emperor's Palace, and he deliberately put on the most ordinary clothes he had, but they were still much better than the clothes worn by people on the street, as if standing out from the crowd, eye-catching, so that people could see at a glance that his identity was very unusual.
With a huge treasure in his arms, he walked among the thieves, how could he, the emperor who had lived in the deep palace for a long time, know about the danger!
But he had only walked half a street before he was targeted.
He was immersed in the long-lost freedom and did not notice this.
When he turned into a small alley, those evil parties could no longer hold back and wanted to do it.
They surrounded him, blocking his way forward and backward, with a hideous smile on his face that could not be described as good-natured.
With his cleverness, he naturally understood the purpose of these evil parties the moment they surrounded them, and the left and right were just robbery!
He doesn't care about these things outside his body, and it doesn't hurt to give them to them. They are also the people of Dongying, and now they are just forced by life!
He thought so, but when those evil parties showed their knives, he realized his innocence.
They don't just want money, they want his life!
An evil party is an evil party, and no matter what reason they use to embark on this evil road, they cannot change the fact that they are an evil party.
The evil party has blocked all the roads, and with the strength of a small child, he can't escape.
The sound of a knife piercing into flesh is gloomy, obscure, and uncomfortable.
He felt a sharp pain in his heart, a knife pierced his heart along his flesh, life force continued to drain down the wound, and a chill enveloped his body.
Is this death?
Am I going to die?
This damn life is finally coming to an end......
He closed his eyes and waited for the final moments of his life to come.
It was at this time that "he" came out.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw the evil party lying on the ground around him, groaning and wailing.
And not far away, a beautiful man dressed in a white hunting suit and an onmyoji was looking at him with a smile.
"Are you my lord? The power of the blood of the Dongying Imperial Family is really weak! If it weren't for the fatal attack on you, I might not have been able to get out...... But it doesn't matter, as long as it's the Dongying royal family. ”
He remembered his previous situation, as if a knife had pierced his heart, but when he reached out and touched it, it was intact.
The beautiful man touched his head, gentle and kind, with a reassuring magic.
"It's okay, I'm here, and no one can hurt you anymore. ”
"Who are you?" he asked, "why did you save me?"
"What a fun kid. ”
The beautiful man laughed, and the smile was as gorgeous as the cherry blossoms in spring, which made people unconsciously attracted to him.
"My name was Haruaki Abe a long time ago, and I was an onmyoji. Now I am your patron saint!"
