Everyone says that the emperor is good... Only when you are on the throne can you understand that this job is not that easy to do.
"The world belongs to me" is a good saying, but "I also belong to the world". Fenglong is not very smart, but he is diligent enough and gets up before dawn every day. Nanli Country is not peaceful, there are tigers and wolves outside, and there are tigers and wolves inside.
Many ethnic groups coexist, and barbarians are dormant in the mountains. There are countless political affairs waiting to be done every day, problems that will never be finished, and troubles that will never be solved... So Fenglong is very happy tonight, those annoying people
All the state affairs were left in the imperial study for the time being. He slipped out of the palace and went out to play.
First I will visit the Beijing Lantern Festival, then I will see ‘myself’, and finally I will go to Chun Yifang to ‘feel the sentiments of the people’. I will not go back before midnight!
Walking aimlessly through the streets, he would stop from time to time to admire the lanterns above his head, or pick and bargain from the vendors' stalls. The more Fenglong walked around, the more interested he became. He pointed around and said with a smile: "
The prosperous style in front of you is not much better than the Jingcheng of Dayan."
Eunuch Li whispered: "Your Majesty, this is wrong."
Fenglong frowned slightly and glanced sideways at Eunuch Li, his dissatisfaction obvious.
Eunuch Li's expression did not change and he continued: "Zou City in the Yan State is known as the highlight of the Middle-earth... That was an old thing in the past. During the Yipin Competition, a big fire burned the mess. I'm afraid it's still scorched now.
As for the taste, Jingcheng is just a flower of yesterday. Phoenix City is prospering and becoming more and more dazzling. How can it be compared to Yanjing City? In time, the place where the dragon rises in China will be here."
Fenglong Longyan was delighted, and he laughed and said: "Your mouth, like the Phoenix City, is becoming more and more 'prosperous'."
Eunuch Li immediately put on a flattering smile: "I always say what I think." After saying that, he counted the time and said softly: "My lord, it's almost time, we will be out soon... right?
Go over first and get a better seat?"
Fenglong nodded, and the group turned and walked towards the main entrance of the palace.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is celebrated by everyone. Not only will there be a lantern festival, but the Queen Mother, His Majesty, and the Queen will also lead the civil and military parades of the entire dynasty in the city. It is really a great excitement... Fenglong slipped out of the palace to 'visit incognito' and could not participate in the parade anymore.
But it doesn't matter, there is a 'mirror' in the palace, just let him hold it.
The Royal Mid-Autumn Festival Parade is held every three or two years. It feels wonderful to be high up and enjoy the cheers of all the people, but after experiencing it a few times, it's just the same. This time Hong Leong will watch 'himself' parade,
Mixing among the people, changing the angle, changing the position, the cheers you hear again will probably have a different flavor.
In terms of appearance alone, 'Mirror' is 70% similar to Feng Long. With the outfit he wears, and being high and far away from everyone, no one can spot the flaw. Of course, it is not difficult to hide it from the ministers, but there is no way to hide it from him.
The Queen Mother was traveling with him, so every time Feng Long used the 'mirror', he would go and beg the Queen Mother in advance.
After all, he is his own flesh and blood. The Queen Mother of Nanli Kingdom is neither strict nor too capable. Although she feels that her son is a bit naughty, he only does it occasionally, and considering the hard work he does every day, she usually
They would all agree to it; it would be easier for the queen to handle it, as the queen would not dare to interfere with what he wanted to do.
To be fair, Hong Leong was quite a good emperor. He usually didn't have enough time and was reluctant to have fun. It was an opportunity like today that he would "visit incognito". He was supposed to be on a tour, and he couldn't deal with political affairs anyway.
When Fenglong and his entourage arrived at Gongqian Street, the Imperial Guards were already on duty on the street, clearing the road for parades. Guards were also posted on the roofs of the surrounding buildings to guard against assassins. Both sides of the road were crowded with people, and everyone
People are eagerly waiting for it, and the buzzing discussion is filling the sky.
Eunuch Li was in front, Li Yifeng was behind, and several other personal guards were guarding the surroundings. They crowded around the emperor and squeezed through the crowd, occupying a good position on the street. After waiting for a while, three cannon blasts were heard, and the main entrance of the palace appeared.
Open wide. First, elite cavalry marched to the forbidden military training road, and then four giant elephants were clad in red and colorful. Their heavy footsteps made the earth tremble slightly. Behind the elephants were a group of whip rituals. Following the commander's orders, more than a hundred men in costumes danced their long whips and broke through the air.
The whistling of the hour and the crisp sound of the tart floor are uniform, majestic and solemn; after that, there is the big music department, the imperial guard department, the dragon flag department, the group fan department... The drums and horns are intertwined into a piece, the golden melons and golden axes are shining with cold light, and the flags
Hunting and hunting in the wind, a guard of honor for the emperor's parade, are the most gorgeous scenery during the Mid-Autumn Festival in Phoenix City.
The huge formation marched slowly, and the people of Nanli cheered in unison wherever they passed. Eunuch Li joined in the fun and said to Fenglong: "Your Majesty is wise and mighty, and has won the support of all the people. Throughout the ages, not many kings have been able to enjoy this."
Such a roaring cheer.”
"Another exaggeration!" Fenglong waved his hand, looking like a wise man who doesn't want to be flattered.
Eunuch Li shook his head seriously: "Listen and see for yourself. Everyone is laughing and excited along the way. This is genuine love and cannot be faked..."
Since coming here, Fenglong has been listening for a long time, but he has not heard even a few words of curses. Hearing what Eunuch Li said again, he felt really happy. In fact, everyone except Fenglong understood that someone was mixed in with the crowd at this moment.
No matter how many spies there are, even if they really have any grievances, no one dares to talk nonsense at this time.
While they were talking in low voices, the palace guard of honor had already crossed the square and walked onto the long street, getting closer to Fenglong and others. The emperor's chariot was high up, with all four curtains raised, and the mirror and the queen mother were sitting in it.
, smiling and waving from time to time, greetings from all directions.
Fenglong 'looked at himself' and said with a smile: "To be honest, the mirror looks more and more like him."
Eunuch Li responded: "It's just a resemblance in appearance. The master's true dragon majesty cannot be imitated by a mirror. Of course... it is enough to put him in this situation."
While the two were talking, the mirror in the chariot suddenly stood up and stopped immediately from the ceremonial guard to the motorcade. This was normal. During the parade, the emperor would often say a few words of kindness.
He didn't say a word, which seemed wrong.
But Fenglong didn't expect that they would stop in front of him.
As soon as the mirror stood up, all the people on both sides of the street knelt on the ground. Emperor Honglong frowned and whispered: "I kowtow to the queen mother!" After saying that, he knelt down condescendingly, but still put his hands on the ground.
, supporting the body so that the knees do not touch the ground, the posture is a bit weird.
Mirror waved his sleeves, and the eunuch in front of the chariot announced that he was "flat". Fenglong breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile returned to his face. When Mirror's words of comfort came out, there should be another earth-shattering cheer...
The long street was silent. Everyone held their breath, waiting for the Holy Spirit to speak. Mirror took a deep breath and wanted to say something but didn't make a sound. Suddenly he laughed, revealing a mouthful of white, neat teeth, and
The next moment, he turned around suddenly, reached out and grabbed the Queen Mother's hair, pulled it back hard, and bit her throat with his white teeth!
When the Queen Mother's exclamation suddenly became hoarse, a golden phoenix hairpin inlaid with jade appeared in the mirror's hand. It was the Queen Mother's hairpin. In the blink of an eye, the long needle of the hairpin pierced the Queen's left eye until the head of the hairpin disappeared.
.
On the queen's face, a delicate golden and green phoenix appeared.
The mirror killed two people in a row, with clean and neat movements, and then raised his fingers like hooks with both hands, scratching his face violently, and in the blink of an eye, his face was dripping with blood... His fingers tore from the bun down, passed by the forehead, gouged out his eyes, and scratched his cheeks.
Bones, tearing the corner of his mouth, finally jumped up, and with a 'thud' sound, he mounted himself on the side pillar of the Bao chariot.
A huge force that ordinary people would never be able to explode... The emperor's chariot was so strong that it could not be smashed with a hammer. The mirror actually broke the chariot pillars, and his own brains burst. His body was half bent and half hanging on the chariot.
Fenglong felt like a thunderbolt struck him! He saw with his own eyes that he killed the Queen Mother and the Queen, and then committed suicide.
The sudden change, from beginning to end, in just two or three breaths, three lives withered.
Thousands of people witnessed the bizarre murder that could only be explained by 'evil possession'. After the deathly silence, whoever was the first to scream out in shock immediately caused chaos in the street!
There was a loud rumbling in Fenglong's ears, his mind was in a mess, and his head was in sharp pain like needles. He staggered on the spot, rolled his eyes and fell into Eunuch Li's arms. Before he fainted, he could barely see Iron Guard Li Yifeng.
Suddenly he drew his sword and struck mercilessly at several other unsuspecting personal guards.
The moon is full during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is a dark night in the south.
…
The sky is bright and bright.
Song Yang woke up from the roof, the sun was dazzling, and he was still in a daze after being drunk, so that he didn't notice that the street seemed a little too cold, so he rubbed his brows, turned over and went downstairs to return to his room.
Then he heard about the unbelievable tragedy.
Last night, Song Yang was seeing off his old friend from a distance on the rooftop. Luo Guanwu stayed in the house, but the dwarf old man couldn't sit still and ran to the street to play. During the murder, he also crowded in the crowd to watch the guard of honor, although he couldn't see it from a distance.
It's too real, but I can understand what happened.
After hearing what happened, Song Yang was stunned at first, and then said: "The one who died was not Fenglong. I saw him on the street last night. He changed into casual clothes and went out to play."
Huodao was surprised: "Is the substitute crazy?"
"It's not that he's crazy, the substitute's life was bought." Song Yang said coldly: "In full view of the public, the fake emperor died, and the real Fenglong became fake."
"Is this planned?!" Taoist Huo understood what Song Yang meant, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "Queen Mother, the Queen and the Emperor were riding in the same carriage, so they died too?" The palace knew that the Emperor used a substitute to parade around.
There are not many people, but there are more than just the Queen Mother and the Empress. However, they are undoubtedly the most important people and will defend the imperial power to the death. If the mastermind behind the scenes wants to complete the matter, these two people must die.
"Zhen Fenglong is probably dead now." Luo Guan interjected: "After concealing the truth, it is inevitable to eliminate the roots." Since a substitute can be used to make plans, it is natural to know that the emperor leaves the palace incognito, or bribes personal guards, or sends killers
To follow and launch an attack, Zhen Fenglong must be killed and he will never be allowed to return to the palace. There is no doubt about this.
Song Yang agreed and nodded: "I'm dead."
Taoist Huo was a little confused when he heard this, and couldn't turn his head for a moment: "No, I don't understand. Someone controls the substitute; and he has the ability to assassinate the emperor while he is in disguise. In this case, kill the real emperor directly, and then support the substitute
Wouldn't it be nice to sit on the throne and be a puppet?"
After saying that, Taoist Huo himself realized that this assumption was too stupid. He coughed, shook his head and said with a smile, "I was confused. Neither the Queen nor the Queen Mother will agree unless they find an opportunity to get rid of those two women."
Song Yang shook his head: "It's useless even if we get rid of them. No two people are exactly the same. The substitute may not have any flaws when viewed from a distance, but when up close, the substitute can't hide it from people who are familiar with Fenglong. Everyone in the civil and military circles of the dynasty
They are all shrewd characters and cannot be deceived." As he spoke, he exhaled a breath: "Someone wants to usurp the throne. The biggest role this substitute can play is to tell the world that Emperor Hong Leong is dead and a new emperor will be established.
Already."
Fenglong was young, and his eldest son was less than four years old and was not sensible yet. The Queen Mother and the Empress died together. The family power behind them may still be strong, but they have no "power point" for the time being, and they are missing these two key figures.
, the little baby has no chance to ascend to the throne.
Luo Guan shook his head and sighed: "This thing was done horribly, but it really nailed Fenglong. Even if he doesn't die, it's useless. He can't turn around."
"Is this supposed to be an internal fight within the imperial court?" asked the old dwarf.
Luo Guan nodded: "Of course, it's not a civil uprising or an invasion by foreign powers. There must be someone coveting the throne. The plan to remove Fenglong is a rebellion within the family."
The old dwarf approached Song Yang again and said tentatively: "The person who can do this must have a lot of power in the court and should be related to the royal family. Otherwise, even if he kills Fenglong, he will not be able to become the emperor. Brother Song,
Who do you think this person could be?"
"King of Zhenxi?" Song Yang asked back.
Taoist Huo blurted out: "You think so too?"
"That's what you think!" Song Yang smiled bitterly: "I really hope it was the prince who did it, but unfortunately, it won't be him."
If the prince really planned such a big thing, how could he not sit in command of Phoenix City? Fenglong "murders first and then commits suicide" and did not die in an assassination attempt. There is no need to leave the capital to avoid suspicion; even if the prince is not there, the Hongbo Mansion will also
We cannot do without capable people, and the last time we met, King Zhenxi relieved Cheng He of his burden... On the contrary, the mastermind behind the scenes wanted to take advantage of King Zhenxi, the most important decision of the Yan Dynasty.
When Xing was away from the capital, he came to plan this big thing.
Luo Guan also took a long breath and sighed: "Nanli will not be peaceful recently." Then he stopped mentioning the matter and asked Song Yang: "What should we do about our affairs?"
"Follow the order, but you have to hurry up...the sooner the better. After capturing the old nun, I'll have to trouble my seniors to take her back to the fiefdom."
Luo Guan frowned: "Shall I escort her back? What about you, do you want to stay?"
Song Yang nodded: "Cheng He and King Zhenxi will be back in a few days. I'll stay and see if I can help."
…
The sky is bright and bright.
Fenglong shuddered suddenly and woke up.
When he woke up, he even thought that what happened last night was just a nightmare, but when he opened his eyes, he was immediately disappointed... The broken roof, his sight through holes of different sizes, could directly see the sky;
There was an old straw mat on the bottom bunk, and there seemed to be unknown insects crawling around... It was not a luxurious bedroom, but a shaky thatched house.
Suddenly, a voice of surprise sounded in my ears: "Long live, you... wake up!" Eunuch Li's big, white and fat face came into view, with snot and tears still hanging on his face.
Looking at the environment in front of him and recalling what happened last night, Fenglong could probably understand what happened. His mind was buzzing and confused again, but he must not be confused at this time. Fenglong wanted to take a deep breath to suppress his emotions.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he took a deep breath, a sharp pain suddenly came from his ribs, causing him to scream in agony.
It was not until this moment that he realized that he was injured. The wound had been bandaged, and the blood stains had soaked through the bandage. Eunuch Li was shocked and frightened, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said with a cry in his voice: "Long live the dragon body, please take a good rest."
,What’s the matter..."
Before he finished speaking, the slanted wooden door of the hut was knocked open with a bang, and a thin young man staggered in with blood on his body, his face still expressionless.
Fenglong still vaguely remembered the scene he saw before he fainted, gritted his teeth and angrily shouted: "Li Yifeng, a person who has forgotten his roots!"
Eunuch Li beside him hurriedly knelt on the ground and cried: "Long live, disaster fell from the sky last night, and it was all because of him that he risked his life to protect you and escape here."
Fenglong was stunned, ignoring the severe pain of the wound, and asked Li Yifeng: "I saw you killing my guards last night."
"The tragedy happened during the parade, and I thought that the disobedient thief would definitely send someone to assassinate him, and he would never allow His Majesty to return to the palace. Since he could buy the life of the mirror, he could also bribe the guards around Banzai. I can't tell who it is... I have to take action first.
, kill them all to avoid future troubles." After saying that, Li Yifeng took some medicine from his arms and ordered Eunuch Li: "Bring some water, I will change the medicine for Long live."
Eunuch Li stood up and went out cautiously. Li Yifeng continued to say to Fenglong: "I neglected my duty and failed to escort Long live back to the palace..."
When there was chaos in the long street, Li Yifeng killed the other guards, and then wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escort Fenglong back to the palace. However, he encountered a large number of assassins. Going back was a dead end, so he had to fight and retreat. Fortunately, the chaotic crowd was an excellent choice.
He took cover and finally escaped here.
During this period, Li Yifeng was seriously injured, and Fenglong was also shot with a crossbow while unconscious. He screamed in agony, woke up for a moment and fell into unconsciousness again.
After hearing what happened, Fenglong asked: "Why didn't you kill Xiao Li?"
"I know that I have not been bribed. And the person I hate and distrust the most is Eunuch Li, and everyone in the palace knows this. Every time His Majesty visits incognito, I will devote my energy to keep an eye on him, and he doesn't
I know martial arts, but I have no chance to do anything... So if a rebellious person really wants to bribe the murderer, he won't choose him, because it's useless to bribe him."
Fenglong was suddenly curious: "Why don't you trust him?" After asking, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. At this time, he could still think of asking such trivial matters.
"I used to think that he was a villain who only flattered others and was not worthy of trust." Li Yifeng answered truthfully: "But I was wrong. I fought with the assassin last night and it was only because of him carrying you that I had a chance to escape."
Fenglong understood his situation and became suspicious. He lowered his voice and said, "Could it be that someone has figured out your character..." Li Yifeng understood what Long Live meant and immediately shook his head: "The assassin is coming.
At that time, I had no time to take care of Your Majesty. At that time, Eunuch Li had many opportunities to assassinate... He is a loyal man."
After saying that, Li Yifeng was silent for a moment, and then said: "Actually, I don't know whether there are any traitors in the few guardsmen I assassinated first." Fenglong sighed: "You are not guilty, but you have merit.
Good job escorting you!"
When he was wrongly accused by the emperor, when he mentioned that he had assassinated his comrades, and now that he was praised for his meritorious service by Fenglong, Li Yifeng remained expressionless.
…
The sky is bright and bright.
Su Hang opened his eyes.
Grandma got up earlier, knocked on the door after hearing the noise, and entered the cabin. Her eyes were full of kindness, and she looked at Suhang quietly. After a moment, he suddenly cried, and the tears rushed through the thick chalk, and fell on his face.
There are traces left on it.
Su Hang was a little surprised: "What's wrong with you?"
"The Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, and Sister Hang is still here... I am happy, really happy." Grandma didn't know Su Hang's life experience and origin, but he knew her intention to die. When she first went to sea, Su Hang told him that she would be here
Leaving during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Hearing this, Su Hang lowered his head and looked at the little baby who was still sleeping beside him. He stretched out his hand and gently stroked his forehead with gentle and loving movements. Grandma also came forward and smiled softly: "When you open your eyes,
He looks like Sister Hang, but when he closes his eyes, he looks more like Song Yang."
Su Hang didn't care what grandma said, but murmured to himself: "I don't want to be in the world of mortals...The world of mortals won't spare me...Grandma's." As she said that, she suddenly smiled, charming and happy, and stretched out a finger.
Poke the doll's little hand lightly.
The sleeping baby frowned, curled her lips, loosened and tightened her little hands, grabbed her mother's fingers, and continued her sweet dream.ro!.
