Since three generations, the world has been ruled by etiquette. The so-called etiquette is a set of codes of conduct that facilitate the ruler's rule, such as the order chain of the monarch as the minister, the father as the son, and the husband as the woman, emphasizing benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith as the norms of action.

As for the emperor, who lives at the top of this ritual society, he naturally has a set of corresponding etiquette to bind, one sitting, one lying, and one line and one stop have rules.

Li Xu left the Qingliang Hall where he usually lived and went to the Wuying Palace, and the emperor's travel was naturally different from that of tourists visiting the palace.

First of all, the two palace maids came out to hold a fan, they held a long fan about eight feet long, decorated with silk gold leaf brocade silk, this is the so-called move must be a fan, they want to follow behind Li Xu.

Then there was a guard team of forty-six people, led by the left and right Jingo generals, these guards were selected from the imperial family and nobles, and two Jingo Zhonglang generals served as the left and right guards, and the general Jingo was the commander.

Forty-six guards were dressed in armor, with bows and arrows and horizontal swords, the first two held horse lances as the leader, and then the two of them each held a yellow embroidered dragon flag, and then the two of the Jinwu guards wearing armor and knives followed behind. The two Jinwu Zhonglang generals wore armor and led the troops, close to the emperor's left and right, while Han Rui, the general of Zuo Jinwu who had been on duty recently, stood at the end of the line.

The so-called Jin Wu has been the title of the imperial guard since ancient times, and there are Jin Wu Wei in the twelve guards of the Yu Dynasty, whose duty is to be responsible for serving as a guard of honor, guarding the palace and patrolling at night.

Jin Wuwei are all selected from the sons of the good family in Beijing and the children of Xungui's relatives, and the current left Jinwu general Han Rui and the right Jinwu general Li Congxian are the sons of the prime minister, and the other is from the imperial family, and the background can be described as prominent and noble.

The most commendable thing is that the left and right Jinwu generals are neither attached to the eunuchs nor close to the Wen family, which also makes Li Xu relax a little.

Li Xu walked out of the Qingliang Palace, there was already a shoulder waiting outside, Li Xu sat on the shoulder with a lot of concern, and the eight young eunuchs who carried the sedan chair raised their shoulders steadily in the order of Han Rui, the general of Zuo Jinwu, and slowly walked towards the Wuying Palace. Li Xu listened to the wheezing sound of the eunuchs lifting their shoulders and the metal sound of the Jinwu Guardian's armor leaf impacting, and his thoughts gradually diverged.

As the emperor of the Dayu Dynasty, Li Xu's status is probably between a puppet and a semi-puppet.

His mother was a palace man from a humble background, and when the God Emperor died, the ruthless Wen sent someone to pour a pot of poisoned wine on this hard-working woman. There were several hard-working women who suffered such a fate that night.

The God Emperor left three daughters and four sons, and Li Xu was just one of them. He was neither the oldest nor the most noble-born, and compared to the sons of the concubines and concubines, his mother was just a simple palace person.

The reason why Li Xu was able to succeed to the throne is also very strange.

He remembered that a group of eunuchs brought him out of the Guangling Palace, and sent him into the Great Inner in a hurry, when he walked into the splendid Mingtang Palace, a beautiful woman in palace clothes looked at him with a smile, and in front of him there were three other children who looked at him with hesitant eyes, Li Xu remembered that those were all brothers who were more powerful than him, the eldest brother Li Cheng, the king of Jin, his mother was Wang Guifei, his uncle was Wang Zhong, the master craftsman, the second brother Li Yuan, the king of Chu, his mother was Zheng Guifei, and his grandfather was Zheng Guan, the salt and iron transporter. Then there was a child younger than himself, that was his fourth brother, Li Jian, the king of Shu who was only five years old, and his mother was the daughter of Feng Lizhen, the envoy of Henghai Jiedu.

Li Xu remembered that there was a very beautiful beauty mole under Wen's lips, and that little bit of Mo Dai seemed to point out her regular and almost ingenious facial features with infinite brilliance.

When he was still admiring the beauty of the Queen Mother, he heard the woman above say.

"Guolai Changjun, the three of you should kowtow to the King of Jin, the Emperor of God will bequeath, and he will be the emperor in the future. ”

Then the blushing young man happily sat down beside Wen, as if his mother had not been poisoned by the beautiful woman beside him. Now Li Xu has almost forgotten the appearance of the King of Jin, he only remembers that he and the other three brothers knelt on the ground and respectfully kowtowed to Li Cheng on the dragon throne, Li Xu seemed to see that the King of Jin held the hand of the Queen Mother tightly at that time, and the laughter of the Queen Mother was as crisp and pleasant as the gentle impact of jade.

However, the king of Jin did not become emperor, and it was as if nothing had happened that night.

Li Xu returned to the Guangling palace to prepare to be a rich idler, but three days later, Taifu and Zhongshu Ling Han Gang led a huge team to block his door, and then kowtowed to invite him to enter the Great Inner to succeed the emperor, and also took out the edict of the God Emperor.

The edict of the God Emperor pointed out that Li Xu, the king of Guangling County, whom he had not seen several times, would inherit the emperor's throne, and the Empress Dowager Wen would be the regent of the country before Li Xu became an adult, and ordered the killing of Li Cheng, the king of Jin, and Li Yuan, the king of Chu, on the charge of rebellion.

Later, Li Xu learned that on the night when the King of Jin held the hand of the Queen Mother, Guan Junrong sent Yu Fuguo to transfer 2,800 Shence troops into Beijing, and the general master Wang Zhong and the salt and iron transfer made Zheng Roll Manmen to punish the people, and the King of Jin and the King of Chu were cut off in their sleep.

Then the Wen clan summoned Zhongshu Ling Han Gang and Yu Fuguo, and finally the edict of the God Emperor came out.

Li Xu knew very well that he was able to become the emperor entirely because of the support of the eunuchs.

The reason why the Great Masters supported the King of Guangling County so hard was because Yu Fuguo and Cheng Qili knew very well that except for the eunuchs, the young emperor from a humble background could not rely on anyone.

Originally, the Wuying Hall was a palace where the treasures collected by the emperors of the past dynasties were located, and later gradually became a place to store the martial arts classics collected from all sides, which were guarded by special internal supervisors. At the beginning of the founding of the country, the power of the Dayu Dynasty was within reach, and all the reckless dragons and snakes had to crouch, and the secret books and chapters collected from various sects and factions were collected here.

Later, the power of eunuchs swelled day by day, and most of the overbearing people had martial arts, and the status of the Wuying Hall gradually changed from the library hall to the office of the inner court. If Yu Fuguo, Cheng Qili and others are not in the army on weekdays, they will work here.

Li Xu's daily life was to give lectures on literary texts in the morning by the acolytes selected by the Empress Dowager Wen, in the afternoon to go to the Wuying Hall to be taught martial arts by the inner court Daxue and the generals of the forbidden army, and in the evening, officials from Zhongshu Province would report on the latest major events in the imperial court.

Li Xu was thinking about the current situation, and suddenly the shoulder under him suddenly stopped, and he almost rolled off the shoulder.

"What's the matter?" he looked up, but saw a man on the road in the palace galloping on a black horse, rushing towards him, and in a few breaths he was about to rush in front of the emperor's car.

Li Xu turned a few thoughts in his mind, and said in a low voice: "The palace gallops for no reason, and collides with the public opinion, what should I do according to the law?"

His voice was not high, not even the little yellow door around him with his shoulders raised, but two people would definitely hear it. That is Cheng Qili, the lieutenant of the Tianwei Army, and Han Rui, the general of Zuo Jinwu.

There is no him, because these two are masters with extremely keen five senses, and they have the ability to "distinguish the feathers of the wild goose and the end of the Qingping".

As soon as the emperor's words fell, the ugly old eunuch Cheng Qili shook his body and stood at the front of the line. And after the sound of the collision of the armor leaves, the tall Zuo Jinwu general Han Rui also walked to the front of the line, and the splitter snatched a hard lance from the guard in front of him and placed it in front of him.
