487 The Emperor's Thoughts
Generally speaking, after late at night, outsiders are not allowed to enter the palace unless there is an emperor's edict. However, Liang Hualin entered the palace, and his reputation of being unintentional in white clothes once again played a role. There were not many eunuchs in the palace who were familiar with him. A favored eunuch told the emperor about his purpose, and then he had to enter the palace.
In the Heart Hall, it was said that the eternal light made of mermaid oil emitted almost sunlight. Of course, Liang Hualin knew that the rumor made of mermaid oil was purely a fraud. The eternal light was secretly made by their Liang Palace. Although the cost was indeed very high, in order to sell the eternal light at a higher price, the Liang Palace released this news more than a hundred years ago, so the eternal lights sold very well. In addition to paying tribute to a part of the palace, other eternal lights have been sold on the market for three gold yuan.
Of course, although the eternal lights sell expensively and make a lot of money, but because of the small amount, no matter how expensive it is, it is not as good as doing grain trading. The biggest source of funds for the Liangwang Mansion is the grain bank. However, recently, due to the malicious stockpiling of grain by the Chen family, although the price of grain has remained much higher recently, the Liangwang Mansion does not dare to sell grain. Now the price of grain is three per day, and no one dares to determine what level the grain price will rise. If you sell grain early, you may make a lot less profit.
The elderly emperor sat on the golden chair, his face became darker and he looked no longer energetic. However, even so, he still gave people a sense of oppression. Although Liang Hualin was a member of the royal family, he would still feel nervous when facing this old emperor.
A little eunuch next to him handed a cup of copper-gold water, and the water emitted a metal smell. After drinking it, the old emperor opened his old yellow eyes, then looked at Liang Hualin and asked calmly: "Oh, Hualin. What's the matter with you coming to me so late."
"Uncle." Liang Hualin bowed slightly: "The situation in the city is not good for us now. If this continues, our Liang royal family will be in danger."
The old emperor drank a sip of gold without any surface. His lips were stained with a layer of dark gold, which reflected the light of the eternal light, and looked very strange: "Oh, it's indeed a bit dangerous, but it's not the critical moment yet, don't hurry. This world belongs to our Liang family, so you can't escape, don't worry."
Liang Hualin said anxiously: "Uncle, the private soldiers of the Old Chen family have now met in the city. Although Donglin Society has helped to disappear about half of its troops, Donglin Society has also made a fool of itself in the afternoon. They actually went to attack the Legal family, and the Old Chen family actually sent people to support it. Now the Legal family has turned to the Old Chen family. In addition, the Qin family is also very wrong. This family seems to have many strong people, but now they are still attached to the Old Chen family."
The emperor said slowly, "I have heard of this."
Liang Hualin frowned: "Since my uncle already knows it, there is a solution. Can you tell me? My nephew can cooperate outside the palace?"
"Let's go." The emperor said indifferently: "Time is on our side, and it only takes another month to stop our Jingdong army from defending. By then, no matter how powerful the Chen family is, no matter how many strong people there are, they cannot stop the army's conquest. On the contrary, your Liang Palace needs to be careful not to fall into the hands of those untouchables."
"Uncle, but I don't think it will take a month, and the Chen family will take action." Liang Hualin said anxiously.
Liang Hualin also wanted to say: "Uncle. I'm from the Chen family..."
"No need to say more!" Although his tone was extremely light, the old emperor opened his eyes. The dim eyes reflected the light of the eternal light, flashing and dark, like the Garfield cat who was preparing to forage in the forest at night: "Go down, I'm going to rest."
Liang Hualin immediately lowered his head. Although he had a lot to say, the emperor had decided, so he had to bow his head and retreat. When Liang Hualin was just lonely, an old man dressed as a eunuch appeared next to him, but he had a black beard on his face, which was not like a big prisoner. The man gently helped the old emperor up, and then asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you really care about the life and death of the Liang Palace? They are also your relatives."
"I'm not dead yet, they began to think about deciding who will choose the next emperor. Since they don't give me face, why should I care about their life or death?" The old emperor stood up and sneered: "Everyone thought I was about to lose my life and death. Eating fairy pills is about to ascend to heaven, but they never knew that I was not eating fairy pills, but just some dishes with strange colors. Saint Yan once said that life is like a play, all depends on acting. Only in this way can I see clearly who is sincere and who is false. Who is suitable for the real emperor, who is just a fool with a layer of smart man's skin... help me go back and rest."
Liang Hualin came out of the palace, and the huge palace gate slowly closed, making a sound of old wooden boards rubbing. He looked back and saw the tall walls of the palace standing in the night sky, giving people a sense of resistance that could never be surpassed. He sighed, sat on the bridge, and returned to the Liang Palace.
As soon as he returned to the door, he found that his room was lit. He pushed open the door and found that the clan elder Liang Shiyou was waiting for him.
"Hualin, I heard you entered the palace?"
Liang Hualin nodded slightly: "Uncle Hui, that's true. I went into the palace and wanted to talk to the emperor about dealing with the old Chen family like this, but I didn't expect that my uncle didn't take the old Chen family seriously at all, alas."
"Oh, what does it mean now?"
Liang Hualin said: "Uncle means, wait until Jingdong Army returns."
"Now with the palace walls as a support, even if there are thousands of people coming, he can't attack, so he can naturally wait." Liang Shiyou sighed softly and said, "But we can't wait. Recently, my eyelids have been twitching, and I always feel that something bad will happen. After thinking about it, only the Old Chen family can let me do this. I thought I would pay attention to trying to find a way to destroy the Old Chen family, but I didn't expect that his method would be delayed."
"I'm afraid I can't afford to delay!" Liang Hualin sat down and said with some regret.
Although the eternal light is the business of the Liang Palace, the Liang Palace never uses eternal lights, and only uses ordinary candles. With just a gust of breeze, the flames of the candles can be blown around, and the room is bright and dark. Liang Shiyou coughed and said, "In recent days, the emperor of the present has gradually become cold with our Liang Palace for some reason. Hualin, you were deeply loved by today. If you have time, you should say good things to our Liang Palace in front of today."
Liang Hualin was silent for a while and said, "Actually, I don't have to say good things at all. As long as the clan uncles don't get in close contact with my cousins, they will naturally become more eager to get along with our Liang Palace again."
Liang Shiyou was stunned for a moment, then remained silent. (To be continued)
