Entering the World Chapter 32: Imperial Power
Yongning four years
First rain in Lin'an.
Lin'an is famous for its light rain all year round. The light rain falls steadily but briskly, docile yet naughty.
As soft as the breasts of beautiful women, many famous families, former emperors, veterans, literati and poets settled here. Many poems and essays in the world were published from this time. This also made Lin'an the first to be famous in the world, and even rivaled the imperial capital.
The momentum has even overtaken the imperial capital in many places, making people all over the world wonder which is the orthodox dragon vein.
Lin'an's position is dangerous. The only way to pass through Lin'an is a dangerous pass. The pass reaches straight into the sky, and the peaks lean against the sky like swords. It enjoys the reputation of "Lin'an is the most dangerous place in the world."
It is known as "One Man", and he has the aura that one man can stand in front of ten thousand men.
There are still many soldiers guarding the area near Linguan, and there are many pedestrians coming and going. All the aristocratic families are here, how can there be less businessmen?
There is a wine shop next to the city gate. It still has the same bowl of Jian Nanchun. Many passers-by rest here and have a drink with nothing to do. Basically, they are businessmen and rough men.
However, there is also an imposing young man in brocade attire, sitting beside him, drinking quietly, which is quite special.
There is no careful preparation from the family, no gray line stretching thousands of miles, he is just so alone, and probably the best thing about him is his good clothes.
While the young man in brocade clothes was drinking, he held up a piece of blue jade seal, which was only about the size of a palm. It was engraved with a dragon and a tiger perched on its head.
The young man in brocade clothes raised his head and squinted at the treasure in his hand, and carefully examined the ancient jade seal that had been silent for thousands of years, but with a straight face, he didn't know what he was thinking.
Beside him, there was a rickety old man kneeling on one knee, carefully wiping the mud from the young boy's boots with his cuffs.
"Young Master, you are really blessed! Young Master has such a jade seal. This trip to Lin'an is not in vain. According to Lao Nu, this joy may be a rare item. If you want to come to the palace, it is also
Rare."
The young man in brocade narrowed his eyes slightly, played with the jade seal disdainfully, then put it down casually and continued drinking.
Many pedestrians on the road also noticed this strange young man. He was wearing a narrow green sheath knife and walking steadily. It was obvious that he was definitely not a native of Lin'an. After all, the arrogance of the children of the aristocratic families in Lin'an was clearly displayed.
Nothing like this boy.
"Grandpa Wu, there is nothing wrong with Lin'an. Why does Your Majesty insist on letting me come here?"
"Young Master is wrong. There is nothing wrong with Lin'an in Nuo University. The biggest problem is that there are countless aristocratic families gathered in Lin'an, as well as many sects of cultivators, and many knights. In Nuo University, there is nothing wrong.
Is Lin'an Prefecture really like this, and the feudal officials in those prefectures really have such great powers to suppress everything?"
"I told my friend that there is another royal Mixin in Lin'an. The world is going to be in chaos. The first place to be in chaos is Lin'an. Once Lin'an is in chaos, at least several major surrounding states will have to raise armies. Moreover, the land of Lin'an can exclude the Central Plains.
Even if the army here comes, they will have to spend a month and a half here, even if they win
This great pass, by that time, the country of Daning will not be safe. From this point of view, Lin'an can threaten the country of Daning. Moreover, Lin'an is a place with connections in all directions, connecting millions of soldiers from the south to the east of the Yangtze River, and the thoroughfare of nine provinces.
How can the land be so simple? Not to mention the original garrison of Lin'an's state capital."
"Grandpa Wu, what you said makes sense. No wonder His Majesty asked me to bring you here. It seems that my father has this intention. But I have no power and no identity. How can I check?"
The old man with a stooped back and fair skin also stood up and said softly and softly: "This is the test that Your Majesty will give you. How could Your Majesty let you, a dignified Prince of the East Palace, do other things that lower your status?"
Son, without the merits commensurate with the status of Prince of the East Palace, I can continue to maintain the status of His Highness. The ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government have nothing to say."
"This is what your Majesty told the old slave. Your Majesty must remember this time when you come to Lin'an. Your Majesty does not hope that you can eliminate all collusion. The water in Lin'an is much deeper than His Highness imagined. It is too much.
It's not good for His Highness either.
The matter is too obscure, and there is no merit to speak of. This is the biggest test for His Majesty, checks and balances, and means. Throughout the ages, the central power has been in the hands of one person. This requires more than just status and military strength.
matter."
"Then my father and my ancestors, as well as the generals and ministers of the past generations, are fighting for power, are there any debates in the court, and what cabinets are needed?"
Seeing that the young master didn't seem to understand what he meant, he had to say more bluntly:
"Indeed, after all, whoever has the most power in this world can't defeat these people. Therefore, there is another technique in this world called the technique of fooling the people. It binds them with etiquette, nobleness and lowliness, or with fame and fortune, such as leaving a name in history. Your Majesty
I hope that His Highness can also stir up a wave in Lin'an, this iron barrel, so that the world will remember that there is still a wise and powerful Crown Prince, and that His Royal Highness is the orthodox one, and His Royal Highness's status will naturally be guaranteed."
"Haha, you want to say that these princes think that they have left the center of power. Doesn't this also give my brothers a good opportunity? What a God-given opportunity. Looking at it this way, my father is good to everyone.
, Isn’t this also the way Father controls us people?”
After saying that, the eunuch on the side looked a little cold and said softly: "Your Highness, the prince, you have said too much. I will pretend that I have never heard these words. Your highness, please don't be so crazy again. In the future, the old slave will be gone."
, His Highness the Crown Prince, please don’t do it because of this.
He lost his head with just one sentence. After this trip, His Highness the Crown Prince almost forgot everything about today. What did His Majesty do is right? As a son, he is a son of man. If this happens again, don’t think that His Highness will think that he has any right.
Qualifications for a showdown with His Majesty."
The young man in brocade sneered and said, "You eunuch, what are you talking nonsense about? What did I say?"
The old man smiled slightly and said nothing more.
"The wine in the wine shop today is different from the past. This wine is more and more mellow. I think this mountain wine is much better than the sake in the palace."
"Your Majesty has drunk too much, and naturally he is tired of the royal wine. It is not impossible for Your Highness to try the old folk wine."
The young man in brocade frowned and said: "Why do I feel that the rich woman is using you to restrain me? Grandpa Wu has been telling me what to say or what not to say, and he has shown it vividly.
, or in other words, Father is..."
"Your Majesty, just know it well. Bixi will always be His Majesty and the Crown Prince. Now he is still just the Crown Prince. Your Majesty, everything you have in the court now is given by His Majesty. Your Majesty will also let you understand what imperial power is."
