Chapter 258: The Wind of the Monarch
"I remember that if my aunt hadn't come to the rescue, I'm afraid I would have reported to Hades long ago. I didn't think that I would stand on the opposite side of my aunt today, it's really ironic. ”
Zhu Houzhao spoke eloquently, his tone was not sad or happy, in his opinion, although there were regrets in this matter, it was a helpless choice.
The king of a country, how can he lose his majesty in front of the enemy, this emperor who is known for his absurdity, but when facing a strong enemy, he has a temperament beyond mortals.
"Far away from the rivers and lakes, all I heard were bad rumors about the emperor, so that in the eyes of the old man, the emperor was an out-and-out faint king, and when I saw it today, the emperor's bearing showed really convinced the old body, and the first emperor gave birth to a good son. ”
The emperor looked at the old woman with a wrinkled face and a peaceful face, and sighed: "Auntie, can't you let go of the things of the year, even if I kneel down to you personally, you won't forgive the royal family's mistakes?"
High Priest Ling Yun shook his head slightly, and said: "What is wrong with the emperor, naturally there is no need to kneel down to the old body for non-existent mistakes, besides, the old body is a crippled body, and he is about to die, and he can't afford it, isn't this killing me?"
The emperor smiled, and said softly to the old woman's words: "My aunt can afford it, and if I ask who in the world is still worthy of kneeling, I'm afraid only my aunt." ”
The old woman looked at the emperor, and thought of the child she brought up, who was innocent and had no scheming.
However, as the years passed, the simple-minded child still became good at scheming and scheming.
As an emperor, there is no freedom after all. Will you lose your personality completely?
The high priest sighed in his heart, the palace was a big stage. Shengdan Jingmo took turns on stage, staging countless joys and sorrows. Life and death part, but there are a few people who can really stand to the end.
If she assassinates Dan, can she beat Da Tsing Yi?
Prosperity is like a dream, decades of glory and wealth, in exchange for the rest of your life are endless regrets and resentment.
"Your Majesty, the old man has something to ask for. ”
The calm voice came into the ears of the emperor, and the emperor Zhu Hou looked at the person he respected, and slowly closed his eyes.
As an emperor. Commanding hundreds of officials, ruling the world, looking down on Li Min, he is very lonely.
There are not many people he admires from his heart, and the old woman in front of him is one of them. The emperor closed his eyes and seemed to go back to the time of the year.
At that time, he was only ten years old, and as the only prince of Emperor Xiaozong, he could be described as a star-studded existence holding the moon, and the master of Ouchi secretly protected him. The civil and military officials clearly respected him.
Because he is the future supreme ruler of the empire, everyone needs to curry favor with him in order to stabilize their position or rise to prominence.
However. There will still be a rebellious assassin who will attack him, and before that, one of Zhu Houzhao's brothers had died unconsciously.
That killer was none other than him. It was his personal eunuch, and the rank of this eunuch was not high. He has been in the palace for more than 20 years, and he has been diligent. Not go beyond one's bounds.
No one would have thought that such an ordinary person would be able to do such a rebellious thing and be executed for a long time.
Zhu Houzhao will never forget the scene at that time, the eunuch's eyes were blood-red, like a beast from hell, staring at him coldly.
This scene left a lifelong shadow in the young prince's heart, and he thought that he was very strong, because all those who saw him had to kneel down and bend to greet him.
It wasn't until he saw those blood-red eyes that he realized that he was so weak, as weak as a bird, once caught by others, he would not only lose the sky that flew freely, but also lose his fragile life.
For the first time, he felt that he could be easily pinched to death, and this fear continued throughout his growth.
His father died when he was fifteen years old, leaving him to face the whole world, and he had not yet learned how to be an emperor, so he had to face the scheming ministers, the first assistant who covered the sky with one hand, the inner servants with ghosts, and even the concubines with ulterior motives.
He was very lonely, he was in a palace, and he wanted to find someone who could tell the truth, but he didn't, because his aunt, who he trusted at the beginning, also betrayed him.
In order to prove his strength, not long after he ascended the throne, he did many ridiculous things, built a leopard house, fought with fierce beasts, and thought that if he defeated the fierce beasts, he would defeat the eunuch with blood-red eyes back then.
He rode the conquest himself, proclaimed himself a mighty general, and wanted to compete with the famous little prince of Tatars, also because he was strong enough that he did not need to fear any enemy.
Uncle Wang Zhu Chenhao rebelled, and Wang Shouren, the governor of Jiangxi Gannan, judged smoothly, and he still did not hesitate to choose to drive the expedition in person, because he wanted to personally defeat the person who dared to challenge him.
But after coming to Jinling, he was no longer proud, this ancient capital of the Six Dynasties had buried too many heroes and heroes, no more than him, no less than him.
There are too many people who covet his place, too many people who want to take his place, too many people who have destroyed their homes for it, too many people who have paid with their lives for it.
I'm tired, I don't want to see those scenes of tears and blood again, I'm tired, and I don't want to do anything to protect the throne.
As long as they can ensure that they do better than me after seizing the throne, what should I not do if I lose my life and lose my country?
Facing the old woman in front of him, Zhu Houzhao felt powerless again, just like the eunuch with blood-red eyes and black gas all over his body.
It's a strange feeling, not fearful, but breathless helplessness, maybe this is the scene of impermanence ghosts.
"Your Majesty, why don't you open your eyes and take a look at your old body, does your old body make you so disgusted?"
Gentle words, but there is a kind of breathtaking power, Emperor Zhu Houzhao silently recited the Diamond Sutra in his mouth, wanting to resist the soul dementorship from this unfathomable old woman.
In the emperor's heart, he will never forget the events of that year, when his aunt just touched the eunuch with her hand, and he collapsed to the ground like a pile of mud.
Then it was shattered into countless pieces of flesh and blood, terrifying, and unforgettable.
Just when the emperor felt that his breathing was gradually short, the old woman suddenly stopped, and the emperor couldn't help but open his eyes and looked at the old woman who had faint tears in the corners of his eyes.
"Your Majesty, the old body is still the same sentence, I have a reluctant request, and I ask you to agree. ”
"Auntie, why do you say this, Yu Qing, you are my life-saving benefactor, I can't bear to refuse, Yu Li, I am the Son of Heaven, your requirements are easy to meet, Yu Shi, you are a hundred times stronger than me, and the hero does not suffer immediate losses, so I really have no reason to refuse. ”
"Let the old body touch the emperor's face again, just like twenty years ago. ”
The old woman said, reaching out to touch the emperor's cheek, Zhu Houzhao did not dodge, although he knew that the person who was touched by her before had turned into a pool of blood.
However, as the emperor, he doesn't even dare to face this bit of coercion, how can he be worthy of being in charge of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains?
