Dingzhou City, the Imperial Palace. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Since the Son of Heaven was invited to stay here, Wu Pheasant naturally prepared a palace.

Of course, it is basically impossible for her to build a large number of buildings to welcome the Son of Heaven, not to mention, no matter how much the palace is built magnificently, His Majesty the Emperor will not appreciate it, so he simply only has some superficial efforts, and in terms of area size and comfort, it may not be as good as Wu Pheasant's own palace.

However, now that the country is in crisis, the emperor leads by example, everything is simple, and there are a lot fewer concubines and palace maids, which can be used.

Emperor Ji Lin, who was only in his twenties at this time, was described as withered, his eyes were blank, and he had faint white hair between his temples, which was about the same as a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties.

This is naturally not Wu Pheasant's deliberate abuse, in fact, even though he has already had the intention of replacing it, but he still needs to pull the banner of the court before, and Wu Pheasant's support for the entire court is still very good.

It's a pity that after losing power, the little emperor became addicted to wine and gradually became what he is today.

He must now regret that he didn't stay in the capital, although the court at that time was also crumbling, but at least it won't become the puppet it is now - although even if he resists, the original Wu Pheasant will not give him more choices.

"Your Majesty, are you going to drink in Yichun Garden today? Or listen to the Tao Pavilion and play chess? ”

Ji Lin had just gotten up and had breakfast, when a big eunuch wearing a big red robe and smiling and kind-eyed had already stepped forward and asked flatteringly.

Originally, the king of a country has a lot of opportunities, how can he have time to have fun? But here in Wu Pheasant, all military and political affairs are naturally unified by Wu Pheasant's Dingwang Shogunate, and the emperor and the court are just mud and wood sculptures, which is just the meaning of filling the façade in major festivals.

"No, I want to watch a play today and drive the Golden Valley Garden!"

Ji Lin waved his hand, and immediately a eunuch pulled the male duck's throat, stretching out to take advantage of the public opinion and rely on it.

Ji Lin looked at this scene, but a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Is it really that he is good wine, good voice, good dog and horse? But what else can you do if you don't?

Do you have to behave wisely, provoke suspicion, and be killed by a glass of poisonous wine?

"Your Majesty, get on!"

With a few whips, the guard of honor set off slowly, and it didn't take long for them to come to a theater garden.

"This is the repertoire of today's troupe, and please ask Your Majesty to flop!"

Father-in-law Qiao lightly presented a tray with vermilion bamboo chips inside, and the title of the play was written with a black brush on the surface.

""The Eastern Tour"? "Three Careers"? It's all old tracks......"

Ji Lin looked at the two brands, and said with some interest: "There are no fresh goods?" ”

"Yes, of course! There is a big opera troupe in Kaichun City, and the singing skills of the master Hua Dan are a must, and the old slave has long been on the attention of His Majesty......"

Father-in-law Qiao smiled.

"Oh?"

Ji Lin flipped to the back, and sure enough, he saw a new track: "The Legend of Long Hatred"? That's it! ”

"Okay!"

Gonggong Qiao smiled and went down to arrange, not long after, accompanied by the sound of gongs and drums, a Hua Dan appeared on the stage, and his singing skills were really good, which shocked Ji Lin's spirit.

This "The Legend of Long Hatred" seems to tell the tragic love story of a palace concubine, because it has resonance, Ji Lin fell into it as soon as he saw it, and he couldn't extricate himself.

It's just that as the plot gradually progresses, his face becomes more and more difficult to look at.

This long hatred is clearly about the poignant story of the emperor and his concubine, but in fact, it is about the sorrow of the last emperor, no matter how Mrs. Ruyu won the emperor's favor, after the country was ruined, she still had to work with the emperor to be a prisoner of the new monarch, and was even called into the palace every day...... And the emperor was also given a cup of poisoned wine to death in the future, and Madame Ruyu died of martyrdom......

Ji Lin's face was pale, and in a trance, he only felt that the emperor on the stage was himself.

At the end of the song, before he knew it, his eyes had become blood-red.

But fortunately, he always knew that he had to restrain himself, so he endured it: "Father-in-law Qiao, this scene is good today, I will reward you with fifty taels of silver...... Also, where is the owner of this troupe, I want to see it, and reward something to go down......"

"Minions, let's arrange it!"

This father-in-law Qiao is naturally not a simple person, so he immediately bowed down.

It didn't take long for a charming Hua Dan to enter the wing room, so that the eunuchs and palace maids watching next to him were all smiling secretly in their hearts, only saying that the little emperor was a young man, which is also human nature.

"Old Minister Qian Zhong, meet Your Majesty!"

But in fact, Hua Dan was just a cover, and there was a person hidden in the room, and when he saw Ji Lin, he immediately looked excited and paid a big salute.

"Teacher!"

Ji Lin was also very surprised: "You are here too?" ”

This Qian Zhong is his former grandfather, who returned to his hometown ten years ago, and he didn't expect to see him again today.

"I heard that King Ding is rampant and the emperor is under house arrest, so I have to come!"

Qian Zhong knelt straight and said meticulously.

"Good! Good! Good!!! ”

Ji Lin was a little excited: "It's great that the teacher can come......"

As he spoke, his eyes swept over Gonggong Qiao, who was guarding the door, and he said a little embarrassedly: "There are many henchmen of the king of Nading, even if I want to meet the teacher, I have to hide my eyes and ears like this, and the national body does not exist, which is really hateful!" ”

"Your Majesty should endure humiliation and bear the burden is ......"

Qian Zhong said solemnly: "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, even if the king of Nading steals His Majesty's power, but the princes of the court, some of them are willing to do their duty for Your Majesty." ”

"Now there is a great opportunity, the opportunity for the sleepy dragon to ascend to heaven is right in front of you, don't miss it!"

"What do you mean?"

Ji Lin's eyes lit up.

"There is no way to set the king, but the soldiers are cruel, and recently got the war report, pacified the south, and half of the world is in hand, which is really terrifying and terrifying...... When she is unified, she will inevitably make His Majesty abdicate and give way to Xian. ”

Old man Qian Zhong said solemnly.

"Even if I die, I won't be cheap to those rebellious ministers and thieves!"

Ji Lin gritted his teeth sharply.

"It's not like this, the old minister has been thinking about it for a long time, and thinks that the only good opportunity for me is in the Northern Expedition!"

Qian Zhong told his plan in full.

"Northern Expedition?"

"Not bad!" Qian Zhong continued: "The foundation of the king lies in the army of millions, and if my court wants to stand on its own, it must first abolish this ...... After the triumphant return of King Ding, His Majesty might as well compromise and seek perfection to strengthen his heart of the Northern Expedition, as long as King Ding goes north and confronts the princes, we can secretly do it and uproot his henchmen in one fell swoop! ”

Qian Zhong had a fierce look on his face: "When the time comes, as long as Your Majesty has an edict, the righteous people in the world will flock to it, and they will join forces with the outside to destroy this giant!" ”

"Good!"

Not to mention whether Qian Zhong is stupid to read, he proposed such a strategy full of scholarly views, but the little emperor was born in the deep palace after all, and he grew up in the hands of a woman, but at this time, his eyes lit up.

"The old minister can't stay for a long time, and I ask Your Majesty to give me an edict, so that I can act cheaply!"

Before leaving, Qian Zhong bowed again.

"It's ...... anyway"

Ji Lin tore off the corner of his clothes, bit his finger directly, wrote the edict in blood, and then stamped his private seal: "Teacher, this important task will be handed over to you!" ”

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the ministers will go to the soup and fight the fire, and they will not give up!"

Qian Zhong said goodbye, and then turned around and left the small room.

And after Ji Lin did this, he was excited, couldn't help himself, and looked at everyone around him with a look of scrutiny.

This is for fear that the palace people will be mixed with Wu Pheasant's spies, and they will inform the plan in advance, and the success will fall short.

As everyone knows, even if he doesn't do anything, in the eyes of some people, the position of the emperor is a bit of an eyesore.

……

In the sixth year of Dading, in July.

Wu Pheasant defeated the anti-king Chen Jie, killed 50,000 enemies, captured tens of thousands, captured countless people, and returned from pacifying the south.

Such a grand event, the entire court naturally had to celebrate grandly, and added a bunch of titles and rewards to her without money.

For example, several sons and daughters, etc., now all have titles such as Guogong, and they are superb.

And with the merit of unifying Kyushu, Wu Pheasant's reputation is also in full swing, so dazzling that almost all men with bearded eyebrows can't raise their heads.

Of course, under the impetus of some well-intentioned people, the topic of the Northern Expedition was constantly raised, and the reasons were quite sufficient.

In the world of the Great Zhou, there is also the idea of great unification.

For any hero, the unification of the nineteen states of the Great Zhou Dynasty is an unspeakable temptation.

"Northern Expedition, is it really ridiculous?"

In the palace of King Ding, Wu Ming scoffed at the noise below.

"At this time, a rapid attack, not only is our foundation unstable, but the princes of the northern land will unite closely under the pressure of our army, but it is not beautiful, or we must slowly plan it and wait for it to be chaotic!"

"The husband's words are very polite, but why does the concubine feel unfinished?"

Wu Pheasant asked with a smile.

"If you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world? If you want to dominate the world, you must first take care of the rear, such as...... Royal house! ”

Wu Ming pointed to the palace not far away: "That little emperor, he has been moving a lot lately!" ”

In his opinion, the establishment of the Son of Heaven back then was to gain the name of righteousness and consolidate the rule, and the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.

And now, at the time of the unification of the south, the prestige of Wu Pheasant has become unbreakable, and the existence of the imperial court has become a constraint again.

If you don't kick it away, how can you work together to go on the Northern Expedition?

At this time, the situation is similar to that of Cao Cao's southern expedition during the Three Kingdoms, if the other party returns to Xudu after subduing Jingzhou, eliminating dissidents, and consolidating the foundation of Peiyuan, no matter whether the Son of Heaven will be abolished in the future, at least there will be nothing to do with the Sima family and the Hu people in the Three Kingdoms......

With this thought, Wu Ming suddenly felt a shock on his body, and he knew something was wrong, and immediately opened the eye of heaven.

Roar!

In his eyes, from the direction of the palace, there was a dragon groan, and the fog dispersed, revealing the aura of a black dragon.

"If you don't notice it for a while, you can hide it from me, it must be a masterpiece!"

Looking at this scene, a sneer suddenly appeared on the corner of Wu Ming's mouth.

Only a master of the same level can conceal such a strange luck, but the other party does not know that he has already been prejudiced, and whether there is a trap or not, he is ready to clean the court, and at this time, it is natural to easily clear the fog.
