In the Daming Palace, the Imperial Study Room, Emperor Mingkang sat on the dragon throne, as if he was taking a nap.
At some point, there was a figure in the room. This person was dressed in black and had a hidden breath. If it weren't for the bright lights in the room, it would be difficult to even notice the traces of this person.
"It's the second prince and the fifth prince..."
Suddenly, the room was silent, and the needle fell and the person came to breathe. He didn't dare to breathe. There was a turmoil. I thought it was just a crime in the Daxing area of the Beijing suburbs, but now it seems different.
The change of imperial power is already confusing, sometimes it goes smoothly, the old emperor is burying the sky, the new emperor ascended the throne, and sometimes it is the Nine Dragons fighting for the throne, and the princes are fighting openly and secretly, killing people without blood. Sometimes, fathers and sons are tragically killed, just like Li Shimin and Li Yuan, a brother is tragically killed, and finally ends with Li Yuan being forced to become the Supreme Emperor.
"Two beasts!!"
The low voice shows the anger that is hard to suppress in Emperor Mingkang's heart at this moment.
"Xu Yuantu, I will pass on my will and order the Pilizi team to attack with all their strength and be sure to kill the invading enemy."
As his biggest backer, he naturally would not give the firearms like Pilizi, which are so powerful that they can kill, to those people in a secret warehouse, where they store the huge number of Pilizi that have been stocked up over the years.
Then Emperor Mingkang said something, explained two secret words to each other, and finally waved his hand.
Xu Yuantu narrowed his eyes and was a little surprised. He naturally recognized the place, but he didn't expect it to be a place to store Pilizi.
After a while, Emperor Mingkang was the only one left in the imperial study.
Looking at the orange flames in the lampshade, Emperor Mingkang opened his eyes slowly, with mixed emotions in his eyes, angry, sad, hatred, unresolved, relieved.
Sitting in this position, family affection is not there, friendship is not there, and only one person left is alone, and even the closest people around him cannot believe it. Only he himself knows this feeling.
In a palace not far from the Imperial Study Room, someone stepped open the door of the room and walked in.
"Old dog, it's been so long since you've been back, it seems that you're old too."
A sound came from the room, accompanied by a light cough.
It was only a long time before I heard the other party’s answer, and the voice came over again.
"Where is Xia Cheng?"
"Is the Supreme Emperor asking about Inner Prison Xia?"
The slightly dim hall has three words "Taihe Hall" on it that are blurred.
This place is not another place, but the Taihe Palace where Emperor Taikang lives.
The person who speaks is the owner of this place, Taikangdi.
As for Xia Cheng, he was the eunuch in the palace who had been following him.
"He's gone."
The visitor was wearing a black shirt, covered with black veil, a short dagger in his hand, and blood that had not yet dried up.
Obviously, when you step here at this time and hold a sharp blade, you will naturally be unkind.
"Who are you?"
Soon, Taikangdi walked out. Compared to that time, the old man was obviously much older at this time.
"Secret Guard."
The two short words also reveal the identity of the person who came.
Taikangdi let out a light thrill.
The secret guard, to him, is not a strange name.
"You are the emperor?"
He immediately sat down, still looking calm and gentle, and he was not afraid of the visitor.
"Just treat it!"
The visitor sighed gently, raised his right hand slightly, and slowly slashed the dagger's blade with his left hand, and a bloody flower appeared on his hand.
"That seems not."
Taikangdi reached out and picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and coughed twice, mainly because the tea was a little cold.
"Oh, why did the Supreme Emperor say this?"
The person who came was stunned and then looked at the old man who looked like he was already in the wind.
"I'm obviously the emperor's man, but I betray him. I'm really curious. What do you think? If I guess well, your family's lives are in the hands of the emperor!"
The visitor narrowed his eyes and through the black veil. Although he couldn't see the other person's current expression, he could guess just what was in the words that the other person's face was not good at this moment.
"Why, I'm very curious, why do I know?"
Emperor Taikang smiled, his eyes full of sarcasm.
"These methods are the only ones I play with. I still know that if you are not married, you will not be able to join the secret guards at all."
The person who came tightened his dagger and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Emperor Taikang said it right, and this is exactly the way Emperor Mingkang controls the secret guards. The whole family was forced to take a poison called Seven Days Drunk. Within seven days, special people would give them antidotes, and the premise was to do what they should do.
Once someone betrays him, seven days later, the family and the young will die of a broken stomach.
"Don't look at me like this. Even so, people who want to join the secret guards will flock to you!"
Emperor Taikang's eyes slid, revealing a hint of disdain.
"If you want to get something, you will always lose some. In the secret guards, you have obtained the best training and the best training. The court gives you salaries from more than the first-rank ministers to help you take care of your family. After you die, you will completely remove the poison that controls your family."
"There is no free lunch in the world. Those geniuses with excellent qualifications and long-standing masters in the world are not living on their belts. They don't know when they will be killed one day, and they can't even sleep well, for fear that their enemies will come to you, so they won't leave any one."
Speaking of this, Emperor Taikang snorted lightly.
Although he scoffed at using this method to control the secret guards, from a certain perspective, this is the rule of the court and the rule of the world.
Joining the Secret Guard is not a forced one. Since you have joined in and enjoyed the benefits, you should naturally be subject to restrictions.
"Haha, the Supreme Emperor is indeed the Supreme Emperor. Even if he stepped into the coffin with half his foot, he still cannot be underestimated."
The person who came looked a little crazy.
"The Supreme Emperor, the truth you said seems to be good. Since you get what you want, you have to pay the price."
Seeing that the other party seemed not so hopeless, Emperor Taikang nodded.
But then the person came and said, "But who stipulates that things are royal, not for us ordinary people? Which of the royal food, clothing and expenses is not provided by the people? If the farmers in the world do not have farming, what do you eat and drink?"
"If there are no silkworms in the world who raise silkworms and silk, what do you wear and what you use? Who divides people into different levels? Who uses gold and silver that cannot make people feel full and warm in their hands to exchange the food in the hands of the people, and finally makes them feel full and warm in their hands."
"Secrets of martial arts, magic weapons, gold, silver and treasures, which one is your royal family? Don't the Supreme Emperor find it ridiculous? Or does the emperor who has been sitting for a few days think you are not a mortal body?"
"The old god is right. The most damn person in this world... is you!!!"
