Gong Huaiming sat for a whole day, and it was not until noon that he opened the door, picked up the axe again, and vented his frustration on the dry firewood in the courtyard.

Gonggong Li, who had been closely watching the movement here, breathed a sigh of relief, and he walked over with a box of dim sum that he had carefully preserved and had deteriorated a little, "Your Majesty, you haven't eaten for more than a day, eat some dim sum first, and pad your stomach." This firewood is inexhaustible. ”

Gong Huaiming shook his head, Gonggong Li, like him, has lost his position, and it is not easy to save that little snack, "Gonggong Li, I'm not hungry, let's keep the dim sum for yourself." ”

Gonggong Li put the snack box next to Gong Huaiming, and then asked carefully, "Your Majesty, have you figured it out?"

Gong Huaiming smiled bitterly, "I figured it out." Gonggong Li, you said that if I had some foundation in the royal family, would Emperor Chenghua and the former emperor not dare to bully me so arbitrarily?"

Gonggong Li shook his head, "Forgive the slave for being blunt, if you have a foundation in the royal family, the emperor will not choose you as a puppet at all, and you will not be able to taste the peak of power." Your Majesty, the slave thinks you should think like this, if you are a cultivator, an immortal master, or an old immortal like Emperor Taizu, even if you borrow 108,000 guts from the first emperor, he will not dare to treat you like this as a chess piece, and fiddle with you at will. ”

Gong Huaiming smiled bitterly again, "Immortal Master, Cultivator, Is it possible for me?" Lian Chenghua Yanjing doesn't have the talent to cultivate the truth, let alone me. Even if I take a step back, what can I do if I have that talent? I can't escape from this cage-like palace, second, I don't know that there are people there who can teach me to cultivate the truth, and third, I don't know if people will accept me. In all of this, the distance between me and the cultivators is tens of thousands of miles. ”

Gonggong Li hurriedly comforted Gong Huaiming and said: "Your Majesty, you are still young, you can't spend the rest of your life in the palace like a slave, you must look for an opportunity to escape from the palace." Don't worry, the minions will also find a way to help you escape from the palace. ”

Escaping the palace is easier said than done. Gong Huaiming has been living here for a few days, and has seen many Xiaohuangmen, miscellaneous servants and others trying to escape from the palace because they can't stand the hardships and tiredness of the palace work. His identity is very different from that of Xiao Huangmen, miscellaneous servants, etc., although only Gonggong Li is watching him alone, but who knows how many pairs of eyes are staring at him in secret, I am afraid that he has just put his ideas into practice, and the holy decree of Emperor Chenghua to behead him will be passed over.

"Father-in-law Li, don't talk about these hopeless things. While I'm still alive, you can tell me about the inside and outside of the palace, as well as what happened in the cultivation realm, and let me have a long experience, and when I die, I will have the capital to brag when I see the little ghosts. Gong Huaiming was bitter and happy.

Gonggong Li answered, and told Gong Huaiming everything he had heard and seen in the palace over the years.

The palace is probably the dirtiest place in the world, all kinds of ugliness that can be imagined in the world are staged in the palace every day, the struggle for power and profit, the palace is filthy, life and death vendetta and so on, all of this is constantly flowing out of Gonggong Li's mouth, constantly impacting Gong Huaiming's original simple soul.

Gong Huaiming thought that what happened to him was pitiful enough, but he didn't expect that there were so many ugliness that made his soul tremble, if Gong Huaiming hadn't experienced the ups and downs of life, it might be difficult to accept the tragicomedy of the world one after another in Gonggong Li's mouth, but with his own experience, Gong Huaiming can understand that what Gonggong Li is talking about is the real purgatory in the world, which is a living reality.

Gonggong Li spent almost two days in total, telling Gong Huaiming everything he knew, and then said, "Your Majesty, that's all I know. It's a pity that I'm not a cultivator, and I don't know much about the things in the cultivation realm, but I've heard people say that the dangers of the cultivation realm will only be more violent than what happens in the palace, and if you can set foot in the cultivation realm one day in the future, you must be cautious, and if you make a wrong step, it will be a place of no return. You are the Venerable of Ten Thousand Vehicles, the Body of a Thousand Gold, you must take care of yourself. ”

As soon as Gong Huaiming was about to say something, he heard the rumbling sound of cannons coming from the southernmost part of the palace, and a loud voice rose from the main gate of the palace, Chengtian Gate, "The enthronement ceremony begins, all the subjects of Yong'an City, kneel." ”

With the issuance of this order, the enthronement ceremony of Emperor Chenghua officially kicked off, once the enthronement ceremony is completed, Emperor Chenghua may not leave Gong Huaiming behind, but will order him to die. Before ascending the throne, Emperor Chenghua could also leave Gong Huaiming in the world because of the reason that "the great ceremony is imminent, and it is not suitable to kill", but after ascending the throne, this reason is untenable.

Gong Huaiming looked blankly at the direction of Chengtianmen, the feeling that his fate was not up to his own hands made him depressed and just wanted to vomit blood, but he had no way at all. If the palace didn't have high walls, he would have fled a long time ago, and if this was his hometown, he only had to drill into the ravine, and no one would have tried to find him, where people were like now, and I was a fish and meat, and I had to be slaughtered. But now, all assumptions do not exist, and the only person he can trust in the palace is Gonggong Li, and Gonggong Li is a eunuch who has lost power.

With the issuance of one order after another on the Chengtian Gate, the enthronement ceremony was carried out in an orderly manner, and millions of subjects of Yong'an City either knelt in the designated positions in the imperial city, or knelt on the streets of Yong'an City, and 100,000 Yulin troops were distributed in the streets and alleys, monitoring the actions of all subjects, and once anyone was disrespectful, they would be killed.

The ceremony of the enthronement ceremony was very cumbersome, and in comparison, the ceremony of Gong Huaiming's accession to the throne a few months ago can only be described as simple. Halfway through the ceremony, the originally clear and cloudless weather suddenly changed, first with a breeze, then with a strong wind, and the dark clouds of the black girl crushed from the northern sky. The clouds were not very high above the ground, as if they could be touched by raising their hands. All the people in Yong'an City felt as if they had pressed a big stone in their hearts, and they were so uncomfortable.

"There are people in the clouds. I don't know if it was the little yellow door who shouted, Gong Huaiming looked up, and sure enough, in the dark clouds, he could faintly see a few figures. Gong Huaiming's heart moved, could it be that these people were cultivators?

The dark clouds came from the north, first flew over Gong Huaiming's heads, and then continued in the direction of Chengtianmen, and in a small effort, they overflowed the palace covering an area of thousands of acres.

At this time, several golden rays of light rose from the palace and blocked the dark clouds, "Not only where are the Taoist friends traveling here? Today is the great joy of Emperor Chenghua's accession to the throne, and I also ask a few Taoist friends to make it convenient to bypass here." ”
