Chapter 29: Conspiracy (Part II)
"Little Marquis, Your Majesty has a decree to summon you to meet you!" the eunuch's voice sounded in Tang Shan's ears.
Tang San listened to the eunuch's shrill voice, shivered coldly, and goosebumps fell to the ground on his body.
"What is Your Majesty summoning me for?
Tang Shan was puzzled, and before he could ask, the eunuch was anxious and flattered: "Little Marquis, please follow the servants into the palace to meet you." ”
As he spoke, the eunuch led Tang Shan into the carriage that had been prepared outside, except for a carriage, there was not even a single guard.
Tang Shan felt too weird, and when he entered the carriage, Tang Shan handed over a lot of spirit stones to the eunuch, and asked, "Father-in-law, I don't know why His Majesty summoned you?"
Seeing the spirit stone, the eunuch's eyes lit up, and when he received it in his arms, he shook his head and said, "Little Marquis, the servants don't know either, but I was in a very good mood when I observed that His Majesty summoned you." ”
"Your Majesty is in a good mood to summon me for what?" Tang San said with a smile: "Could it be that my father has made war exploits again?"
The eunuch pondered for a long time and said, "The slave is on duty in the imperial study today, and I didn't see any battle reports coming." ”
Tang Shan was also confused when he heard this, since Tang Shize had not made any military achievements, what did the emperor do when he summoned me?
The emperor's mind is really elusive.
When the eunuch saw his demeanor and knew that he was worried, he said, "Little Marquis, although it is said that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, but like you, you are not only the disciple of Elder Lin Xiandao, but also the grandson of the Thundering King, and now that Your Majesty has summoned him, it should not be a bad thing." At the age of the little marquis, there is no one who can be rewarded and summoned by His Majesty in a short period of time without making meritorious contributions, and there is no ....... ”
Tang Shan hurriedly interrupted him and said, "Father-in-law, don't say it, the more you say, the more mysterious I feel." ”
The carriage drove unimpeded all the way into the palace.
"It's here, little marquis!" said the eunuch's father-in-law softly.
Tangshan got off the carriage, and the eunuch took Tangshan to shuttle through the palace, and there were many people along the way, and countless eunuchs and palace maids were very lively.
The two walked all the way to the door of the first floor of a garden in the palace, and the eunuch's father-in-law stopped and said sharply: "Your Majesty, the little marquis has brought it." ”
"Let him in!" came a clear voice from the building.
"Yes!" The eunuch opened the door and said to Tang Shan, "Little Marquis, Your Majesty told you to go in." ”
"There is Father-in-law Lao. Tang San smiled at the eunuch, lowered his head and walked inside.
The room is simply furnished, revealing an atmosphere, surrounded by sandalwood, which seems to be extraordinarily quiet.
As he walked, he had only walked a few steps when he heard a voice come into his ears and say, "Tangshan!"
When Tang Shan looked up, he saw a middle-aged man holding a book in his hand in front of a short table not far in front of him, with a red light on his face, looking at him with a smile.
This middle-aged man wears a golden crown of nine dragons, a robe in the color of the Ming Emperor, a gray ribbon tied around his waist, his temples are slightly white, his face is like white jade, his breath is vigorous, and his whole body is full of momentum without anger.
"Your Majesty!" Tang San was startled, hurriedly stepped forward, saluted and said, "Hello, Your Majesty." ”
Although Tang Shan has the memory of Lin Xiandao and knows the rules in the palace, but at this time he pretends not to understand the slightest rule in the palace, the first time he enters the palace, if he understands the rules without anyone explaining, it must be very strange.
He saw the emperor as if he were saying hello to a friend. Although the Qi Refiners in the Misty Continent do not need to kneel and salute when they meet the emperor, they must also follow the rules.
Yan Chengba didn't bother with Tangshan, smiled slightly, and said, "Tangshan, let's meet again, it's the second time we've met." ”
"Yes, yes. Tang San continued: "I saw it last time in the court meeting, and His Majesty also rewarded me with a lot of things." ”
"Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for a few days, you seem to be much younger, could it be that Your Majesty's cultivation has broken through?" Tang Shan said sincerely. It doesn't matter what this emperor has summoned me for, at least I can't offend him. Yan Chengba laughed, pointed to a chair next to him and said, "You sit down!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”
After Tang Shan sat down, Yan Chengba said leisurely: "I heard that you can detoxify, is it true?"
"Uh, yes!"
Tang San was stunned when he heard this, and thought to himself, could it be that the emperor summoned me today to help someone detoxify?
"Hehe, that's not bad, but you can't detoxify Mu Zhaoxue. Yan Chengba glanced at Tang San and said with a smile: "You should know the situation between the royal family and the Mu family." ”
"I don't know. Tang San decisively pretended to be stupid.
Yan Chengba said: "I don't know, then I'll tell you." ”
"Your Majesty, I'm not an adult, it's better not to listen to these things, otherwise it's not conducive to growth. ”
Tang Shan couldn't help but shudder when he heard this, "This emperor shouldn't kill me because I helped Mu Zhaoxue detoxify." ”
"Hehe, don't worry, the battle between the royal family and the Mu family has long been clear in the empire, and if you listen to it, I won't kill you. Yan Chengba seemed to see through his careful thoughts, and said with a dumb smile.
At this moment, he didn't look like the mighty emperor of the Yanlin Empire, not like an iron-blooded lord who expanded his territory, but like an ordinary person.
"I've heard a few stories about the relationship between the royal family and the Mu family. Tang San said honestly.
Yan Chengba nodded, and said softly: "The Ye family, the Mu family and the royal Yan family are the three major families that created the Yanlin Empire, the Yan family was the strongest at that time, so they became the royal family, and the Ye family and the Mu family also became the royal family second only to the royal family in the empire. The Ye family controls the lifeblood of hundreds of officials in the world and sorts out the world. The Yan family sits in the center and rules the Quartet. ”
Tang Shan was puzzled: "It's good that the three families are like this, so how can this situation occur?"
"Because of a woman!"
Yan Chengba's eyes were blurred, as if he was recalling the past, and said quietly: "A woman who has captivated the country and the city, she has divided the three families. Originally, she was just a little nobleman, but she was so beautiful, so beautiful that the young people of our generation went crazy, and I was no exception, and in the end she chose the young master of the Mu family, Mu Shoujia. However, because my stupid imperial brother didn't get her, because he hated her because of love, he killed her with poison when she was pregnant, and finally the Mu family sent an immortal warrior to kill the imperial brother, and since then the two families have fallen into endless hatred. ”
Tang Shan listened quietly, and he despised Yan Chengba's imperial brother very much in his heart.
"The imperial brother was originally the heir of the empire, after the Mu family faction killed the imperial brother, the royal family originally wanted to maintain the stability of the empire and maintain the dignity of the royal family, and did not want to make a big move, but only wanted the Mu family to hand over the murderer, but unfortunately the Mu family not only listened, but also used the army in their hands to quickly control the land of five western provinces and thirty-six cities. ”
Yan Chengba said this, a trace of cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Originally, the royal family wanted to use their strength to seize the five northern mansions and thirty-six cities from the Mu family, but because the Mu family defended the empire against foreign enemies, they did not send troops, but only suppressed. Originally, the Mu family might succumb under the pressure of the royal family and various families, but at this time, in addition to the accident, the Mu Shou family survived the catastrophe and became a human immortal alchemist, everything was disrupted, and the Mu Shou family relied on refining various pills to greatly increase the strength of the Mu family, and also used the pills to buy those warriors who urgently needed pills to break through the realm to resist the suppression of the royal family and other families. ”
While listening to Yan Chengba's narration, Tang San thought, "It's not wrong for the Mu family to do this, if the Mu family was just a small family, they might have been wiped out long ago if they killed the crown prince." ”
At this moment, Yan Chengba sighed, and his voice became extremely low: "And the most terrifying thing is not the alchemist of the Mu Shou family, but the daughter of the Mu Shou family and that woman, Mu Zhaoxue, Mu Zhaoxue was highly poisoned after she was born, but she was extremely smart, and she was able to give advice to the Mu family when she was about ten years old, so that the Mu family got rid of the suppression of the royal family, and also made the strength of the Mu family grow rapidly, and quickly became the first family of the Yanlin Empire." ”
"I summoned you this time just to kill Mu Zhaoxue when you were detoxifying her. Yan Chengba's voice changed, indifferent and lofty, giving people a cold-blooded and ruthless feeling.
