Chapter 758

Dingzhou City, imperial palace.

Since the emperor was invited to stay here, Wu pheasant naturally prepared a palace.

Of course, it is basically impossible for her to build a grand palace to please the emperor, not to mention that no matter how magnificent the palace is, the emperor will not appreciate it. Therefore, there is only some superficial skill. In terms of size and comfort, it may not be as good as Wu pheasant's own palace.

However, at the time of national calamity, the emperor set an example and made everything simple. There were fewer concubines, maids and so on.

The emperor Ji Lin was only in his twenties, but he was haggard and listless. He had gray hair between his temples, which was almost the same as the middle-aged man in his thirties and forties.

It's not that Wu pheasant deliberately abused him. In fact, even though he had already thought of replacing him, he still needed to hold the banner of the imperial court. Wu pheasant's support for the whole imperial court was very good.

Unfortunately, after losing power, the little emperor indulged in wine and sex, and gradually became what he is now.

He must regret that he didn't stay in the capital. Although the imperial court at that time was also on the verge of collapse, at least it would not become a puppet today. Although he resisted, the original Wu pheasant would not give him more choices.

"Your Majesty, are you going to Yichun garden to drink today? Or listen to the music and play chess

Ji Lin just got up and had breakfast. A eunuch in a big red robe, smiling and kind-hearted, came forward and asked.

Originally, the king of a country, who has leisure time to play? However, in Wuzhi, all military affairs and state affairs are naturally unified and solved by the Dingwang shogunate of Wuzhi. The emperor and the imperial court are nothing but mud and wood sculptures, which is just the significance of making a facade in major festivals.

"No, I'd like to see a play today. I'd like to drive the Golden Valley Garden."

Ji Lin waved his hand, and immediately there was a eunuch pulling the duck's voice, making a list of Chengyu and Yiyi.

Ji Lin looks at this scene, but a bitter smile appears in the corner of his mouth.

Do you really think he is good at wine, sound and color, dog and horse? It's just not as good as this. What else can we do?

Do you have to be wise and powerful, arouse suspicion, and be killed by a cup of poisonous wine?

"Your majesty

With a few Jingbian, the guard of honor set off slowly, and soon came to a theater.

"This is the repertoire of today's troupe. Please turn it over!"

Mr. Qiao gently presented a tray with vermilion bamboo chips inside and a black writing brush on the surface.

"Journey to the East"《 Three careers? It's all old songs... "

Ji Lin looked at two brands, some of which were in a state of displeasure, and said, "is there anything new?"

"Yes, of course! There's a big troupe in Kaichun city. The singing skill of Huadan is excellent. I've been paying attention to it for a long time... "

Mr. Qiao was smiling.

"Oh?"

Ji Lin turned to the back and saw a new track: "the story of everlasting regret"? Let it be

"Good!"

With a smile, Mr. Qiao went down to decorate. Not long after, accompanied by the sound of gongs and drums, a Huadan appeared on the stage. His singing skills were really good, which shocked Ji Lin's spirit.

It seems that the story of everlasting regret is about the miserable love story of a royal concubine. Because of the resonance, Ji Lin fell into it as soon as he saw it.

But as the plot moves on, his face becomes more and more ugly.

"The legend of everlasting regret clearly tells the sad story of the emperor and his concubines, but in fact it tells the sad story of the last emperor. No matter how Mrs. Ruyu got the emperor's favor, she still had to be a prisoner of the new emperor with the emperor after her country was broken and her family died, and even was called to the palace every day... And the emperor was later given a cup of poisonous wine to die, and Mrs. Ruyu died of love..."

Ji Lin's face was very blue. In a trance, he felt that the emperor on the stage was himself.

After the end of a song, unconsciously, his eyes have become a blood red.

But fortunately, he knew he had to restrain himself, and forced himself to endure: "Mr. Qiao, today's play is good. I'll give you fifty Liang silver... And where's the boss of the troupe? I'd like to see him and give him something to go on..."

"I'll arrange it now, slave!"

Mr. Qiao, of course, was not a simple person. He bowed down immediately.

It wasn't long before a charming Huadan entered the wing room and let the eunuchs and maids who were looking next to him laugh in their hearts. It's only natural for them to say that the little emperor is young.

"I'd like to meet your majesty, Qian Zhong."

But in fact, Huadan is just a cover, and there is a person hidden in the room. When he sees Ji Lin, he immediately looks excited and makes a big salute.

"Teacher!"

Ji Lin is also very surprised: "you also come?"

Qian Zhong, his former Taifu, returned to his hometown ten years ago. I didn't expect to see him again today.

"I heard that Ding Wang was rampant and domineering. He was under house arrest. I had to come!"

Qian Zhong kneels straight and meticulously.

"Good! Good! Good

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

As he said this, he glanced around at Mr. Qiao, who was guarding the gate. He was embarrassed and said, "there are so many followers of the king of Ding. Even if I want to meet my teacher, I have to hide people's eyes and ears. I don't have the national system. It's really hateful!"

"Your Majesty should bear the humiliation..."

Qian Zhong solemnly said: "in the whole world, is it the royal land? Even though the king of Ding steals the power of his majesty, there are some people who are willing to do their duty for his majesty."

"Now there is a great opportunity. The opportunity for the trapped dragon to ascend to heaven is right in front of us. We must not miss it!"

"What does the teacher mean?"

Ji Lin's eyes are bright.

"There is no way to settle the king, but the generals are fierce. Recently, they have won the war report and pacified the south. Half of the world is in their hands. It's really terrible... When she is unified, her majesty will be abdicated."

Old man Qian Zhong said solemnly.

"Even if I die, I won't take advantage of those disorderly officials and thieves!"

Ji Lin bites his teeth.

"This is not the end of the matter. The old minister thought for a long time that the only good opportunity for us is the northern expedition!"

Qian Zhong told the whole story of his plan.

"Northern expedition?"

"Not bad!" Qian Zhong continued: "the foundation of King Ding lies in millions of troops. If our court wants to stand on its own, it must abolish this first... After King Ding's triumphant return, your majesty might as well compromise and strengthen his heart of the northern expedition. As long as king Ding goes north and confronts with the princes, we can fight secretly and uproot his party members at one stroke!"

Qian Zhong had a fierce look on his face: "at that time, as long as your Majesty's imperial edict, the righteous people from all over the world will come in droves to exterminate this giant owl."

"Good!"

Whether Qian Zhong was stupid in reading books or not, he put forward such a strategy full of scholarly ideas. However, the little emperor was born in the deep palace and grew up in the hands of women. At this time, his eyes lit up.

"I can't stay long. Please give me an imperial edict, so that I can act conveniently."

Before leaving, Qian Zhong said goodbye again.

"Well..."

Ji Lin tore off a corner of his coat, directly bit his finger, wrote an imperial edict in blood, and then stamped his private seal: "teacher, the responsibility is up to you!"

"Please don't worry, your majesty. I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

Qian Zhong bowed again, and then he turned and left the small room.

After Ji Lin did this, he was very excited and couldn't help himself. He looked at everyone around him with a look of examination.

This is the spy who is afraid that the palace people will be mixed with Wu pheasant, so he told the plan in advance and failed.

As everyone knows, even if he does nothing, in some people's eyes, the position of emperor seems to be a bit of an eyesore.

……

The sixth year of Dading, July.

Wu Chih defeated Chen Jie, killed 50000 enemies, captured hundreds of thousands of prisoners, captured countless, and calmed down the south.

Such a grand event, the whole court naturally want to celebrate Chongqing, and give her a lot of free titles and rewards.

For example, a few sons and daughters are now holding the title of Duke of the country and so on, and they are super qualified.

With the achievement of unifying Kyushu, Wu pheasant's reputation is also at its peak, so dazzling that almost all men can't lift their heads.

Of course, the topic of the northern expedition has been constantly raised with the help of some interested people, and the reason is quite sufficient.

In the big Zhou world, there is also a unified idea.

For any Xiaoxiong, it is an unspeakable temptation to unify Dazhou and nineteen states.

"Is the Northern Expedition really ridiculous?"

In Dingwang palace, Wu Ming scoffs at the noise below.

"At this time, our foundation is not stable, and the northern princes will unite closely under the pressure of our army. On the contrary, it is not beautiful, or we must try our best and let it go."

"It's very polite of my husband to say this, but I don't know what I mean."

Wu pheasant asked with a smile.

"If you don't sweep a room, why sweep the world? If you want to dominate the world, you must first take care of the rear area, such as the royal family

Wu Ming pointed to the palace not far away: "the little emperor, he has been acting constantly recently."

In his view, the purpose of establishing the emperor in those years was to gain great righteousness and consolidate the rule. The advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Now, when the South was unified, the reputation of Wu pheasant was unbreakable, and the existence of the imperial court became a constraint.

If we don't kick it off, how can we join hands in the northern expedition?

At this time, the situation is similar to that of Cao Cao's southern expedition in the Three Kingdoms period. If the other party returns to Xudu after his surrender to Jingzhou, eliminate his dissidents and consolidate his capital and cultivate yuan, no matter whether he will abolish the emperor or not, at least there will be nothing wrong with Sima family and Hu people in the Three Kingdoms period

With this thought, Wu Ming suddenly felt a shock on his body, and immediately opened his eyes.

Roar!

In his eyes, from the direction of the palace, there was a dragon chant. The fog dispersed and the air of black dragon appeared.

"It must have been Jue Tian's hand that he could hide it from me without observing it for a while!"

Looking at this scene, Wu Ming suddenly appeared a sneer.

Only a master of the same level can hide such strange phenomena, but the other side doesn't know that he has preconceived ideas. No matter whether he has traps or not, he is ready to clean the court hall. At this time, he can easily get rid of the fog.
