23, Usurper General vs Qing Gui Gongzi 01(1/2)
Glazed tiles, gold paved floors, red eaves and carved railings... There is probably no place in the world more magnificent than the palace.
In particular, the late emperor probably graduated with a minor in literature and garden design in his previous life. Apart from reciting poems and writing poems, his biggest hobby was architecture: dig a pond here today, build a pavilion there tomorrow...
There is no corner of the imperial palace in Dajin that he has not touched.
But fortunately, the late emperor had a good sense of aesthetics due to his childhood upbringing. This kind of effort that almost brought down the entire palace and started over again turned out to be okay in the end.
——Although it has lost a bit of the solemnity that a palace should have, it has beautiful pavilions and terraces everywhere, and it has a bit more of the uniqueness of Jiangnan gardens.
…
Of course, there are also a few palaces that have finally retained their original appearance after hundreds of ministers could not afford to kneel in front of the palace, and even after the Taifu and the Prime Minister desperately tried to persuade them by touching their heads on pillars...
Among all the new garden scenery, it looks particularly old and stereotyped, and out of place.
Xuanzheng Hall, used for court meetings, is one of them.
The morning has just dispersed, and the morning light is still faint.
In the side hall of Xuanzheng Hall, the still young emperor left behind his confidants.
"Brother, I...I don't want to..."
The speaker's tone was fragile and choked, with a hint of coquettishness that he didn't know he was talking about. It was completely different from the Ninth Five Supreme Being who had previously occupied the throne and had shown his imperial majesty for the first time.
"Your Majesty, I...don't dare to take this seriously." Another person replied in fear.
The sound was as clear as spring water in the mountains, making people's ears and eyes clear. Even though he said these words, it did not give people the slightest sense of humility.
…
The two people in the side hall are very similar.
Although they have very different temperaments and can be distinguished at a glance, their similar facial features can win people's trust even if they are blood brothers.
The two people do have a slight relationship. The little emperor's biological mother, Concubine Lin, and Pei Jiasanlang's mother, Pei Lin, are from the same clan.
But this is really not a big deal. In the capital, a family with some respectability, three generations up, will definitely have some kinship with the royal family. This kind of cousin status is really not worthy of being called "brother" by the emperor.
In line with the words "I dare not take it", Pei Baimu bowed deeply.
But he always has a temperament like a green bamboo, and even at this time, his back is still straight.
——Peijiasaburo.
When he was a child, he could speak well and was known as a child prodigy; when he was dancing spoons, his poems and articles were highly praised by the late emperor, saying that he had the legacy of Chun Liu; when he was not as young as the weak crown, he came first in the palace examination and became the number one scholar that year.
After beating horses and parading through the streets, all the daughters' families in the capital have a real basis for their dream lover...
Bai Mu said: He hates this kind of character with a lot of settings...
——by Bai Mu, who relived his devilish career as a senior in high school
No, it's more terrifying than the senior year of high school.
Even if you are a senior in high school, you will not ask people to get up at three in the morning to endorse, and slap their palms if you are not careful... That is simply child abuse!!
…
However, Bai Mu, who almost fell out of play in the last world, is really working hard and striving for perfection this time.
——Last time, if there wasn't an ambush at the end of the kidnapper's side, his mission would have been ruined. By then, the points would have been deducted into negative values, and he wouldn't be standing here anymore.
He made up his mind that the interpersonal relationships in this world must follow the requirements of the plot line.
——There must be no more accidents!!
Although I think so...but the character of Pei Baimu...is so tiring...
No one except the system knew what he was complaining about in his heart. On the surface, the husband of the Pei family still maintained his saluting posture and remained motionless.
"Brother?"
The young emperor yelled again stubbornly, showing a childish air of unwillingness to compromise.
Bai Mu: "..."
"Tong'er, I feel like I'm not his brother, but his father."
system:……
Just be happy.
Bai Mu: "This little bastard must be harboring some bad ideas again? Which old guy does he want me to fight against again?!"
"You don't even know that when Mr. Liu retired and returned to his hometown, his eyes made him want to eat me alive..."
"...There's no point in using a knife to its fullest, and you're not afraid of using it up...Who will be his substitute then?!"
Bai Mu was driven crazy by this evil little emperor. Every time they met alone, he had to complain to the system like crazy.
——Look what this little bastard did, what the fuck is he doing?
"Brother..."
When Bai Mu was madly complaining to the system, the little emperor called out again. Seeing that Bai Mu was still bowing and saluting, with no intention of compromising, he changed his title aggrievedly, "Pei Qing."
Bai Mu: "..."
You are so wronged, my waist is almost broken!
However, the character needs to be tight...
Bai Mu straightened up with a calm expression, with a doting smile on his face that said, "My brother is finally sensible."
Li Tanyi was stunned, lost in thought for a moment——
Pei Jia Sanlang, who is highly praised in the capital, is like a bright moon, cold and distant, unattainable...
But in front of him, he has always been kind, gentle, and even responsive... no matter it was before or now.
This... makes people unable to help but test his bottom line step by step. If this is the case... then how far are you willing to go for me?
Li Tanyi's eyes were gloomy for a moment, but when he raised his head again, he already looked aggrieved as usual in front of Pei Baimu.
Bai Mu felt sick in his stomach when he saw him "wronged".
——This often means that he has to solve trouble for this little bastard again.
Bai Mu bowed his head again, "Your Majesty summoned your ministers to come here. Why?"
Li Tanyi said "I, me, me" for a long time, then handed him a memorial.
Bai Mu had long given up on correcting his self-identification. This little bastard was very smart. He knew very well when to use "I" and when to use "I".
Bai Mu was not polite and continued.
Iron painted with silver hooks, the murderous aura rushed towards his face. This made Bai Mu, who was accustomed to the romantic spirit of talented people in the capital and the neat and tidy court officials, stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses.
——It’s the protagonist’s attack.
He glanced at it and instantly understood what time it was. He said dryly: "General Yan defeated the Hulu this time. This is a good thing..."
Li Tanyi burst into tears immediately.
He looks like his mother, and he is naturally more delicate and feminine. His tearful glance makes people feel sad immediately.
Bai Mu not only felt distressed, but also had liver pain, stomach pain, headache, and brain pain...
Sure enough, the next moment Li Tanyi choked up, "Brother...I...what should I...do?"
Bai Mu did know what he was worried about. The late emperor had a lot of sons. He himself was a romantic and careless man, but the sons he gave birth to were more ambitious and ambitious than the others.
In the last few years when the late emperor was seriously ill, each of these sons was torn apart and almost cut the Jin Dynasty into several pieces.
The fact that Li Tanyi, a prince who had neither direct authority nor eldership, and whose court experience was far inferior to that of his other brothers, ascended to the throne was due to the Yan family's single-handed push.
Of course the other brothers were dissatisfied. On the day he ascended the throne, five states clearly raised their flags of rebellion, and then... they were beaten into pieces...
Of course it wasn't the little emperor's ability, it was the Yan family army led by Yan Xiao.
Whether it's "following the dragon" or "counterinsurgency"...
With such a great contribution, Yan Xiao has long been unworthy of the title, and he has no need to be granted the title by this little emperor.
Yan Xiao has never concealed his ambitions. Whether it is "not kneeling before the emperor" or "carrying a sword to the palace"... he himself invited the amnesty.
At this point, even if one day the man on the throne changes his surname from "Li" to "Yan"... no one in the court will find it strange.
Although no one dares to say it openly, everyone knows the thoughts behind it.
As for why Yan Xiao, who is in charge of military power, has not usurped the throne yet, combined with the prevailing south wind in the capital, there is one theory——
"Brother...I, I am the Nine-Fifth Supreme Being. How can I, how can I... lie under someone else?!..."
The little emperor cried miserably and was out of breath.
Bai Mu: = =
...He lost in the competition of acting skills.
Look at this miserable appearance, look at the expression of shame, anger and fear... If he hadn't been tricked by this little bastard too many times, he might have really thought that he was an innocent and ignorant little white rabbit.
He is worthy of being an emperor...
To be continued...
