In the early morning, the white snowflakes arrived quietly and silently with the chilly spring cold. She accidentally disturbed the world's dreams and fell gently from the air, floating and fluttering, making the majestic and rigid outline of the Dakang Palace softer. The clouds drooped low, and a few rays of rays of rays of rays of rays of rays of rays of rays of rays of rays of rays of rays of rays of rays of rays of rays of rays appear crystal clear.

The Grand Master Xiao Nihan, wearing a purple court robes and black sable fur, walked slowly on the imperial road in the middle of the palace accompanied by four officials. He was forty-six years old this year. His fair face had wind and frost and wrinkles, and several white hairs were also on his temples. The most attractive thing was his eyes, as deep as a thousand-year-old ancient pool, unpredictable and profound. His face, which always showed a faint smile, actually contained a terrifying edge.

When he walked to Tianhe Hall, his eyes fell on the huge dragon relief in the middle of the stairs. He liked this dragon relief very much. Every time he passed by here, there would always be a sense of pride in his heart, and he quietly felt that the whole world was in my control. The snow covered the relief, and most of the long dragons that were hovering and flying were covered up. Xiao Nihan frowned slightly, and his fair and slender fingers gently stroked the clear beard under his jaw: "It's time to clean up the snow above!"

The young guard Qin Yangxu stepped forward and whispered: "Don't worry, Grand Master, I will immediately ask someone to clean the inside and outside the palace after the snow stops."

Xiao Nihan didn't say anything, and walked towards Tianhe Palace for a while.

Entering the palace, most of the officials in the court had arrived, and the middle of the dragon throne was still empty, with only the eunuch eunuch Qiu Fuhai standing next to the dragon throne.

Xiao Nihan couldn't help but frown, and he said in a low voice: "Eunuch Qiu, where is Your Majesty?"

Qiu Fuhai said respectfully: "Master Xiao, Your Majesty suffered a little cold last night and has not yet gotten up."

Xiao Nihan snorted heavily, and his face instantly covered with frost: "Go and invite Your Majesty to the morning court. We will report to him if there is something important."

Qiu Fuhai smiled and said, "The Grand Master is calm, I have sent someone to invite you."

Xiao Nihan looked directly at Qiu Fuhai. Qiu Fuhai couldn't help but shivered with cold eyes. The muscles on the corners of his lips trembled slightly, and he smiled stiffly: "I'll go and see it myself..."

Just as Qiu Fuhai was about to take a step, he heard a series of coughs coming from the side hall. A young man with a childish face entered the Tianhe Palace accompanied by two young eunuchs and four young palace maids.

Qiu Fuhai shouted happily: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is here!"

It was the current emperor of Dakang Kingdom Long Yuan. He was fifteen years old this year. When he was three years old, he was promoted to the throne by the left-wing force represented by the Grand Tutor Xiao Nihan. Now he has been the emperor for a full twelve years. Two years ago, with the approval of the Empress Dowager, Long Yuan has taken power in power, but Dakang's real power is still in the hands of Xiao Nihan.

Perhaps because he was pampered since childhood, Long Yuan's figure was outstanding among the teenagers of the same age. He was only half an inch shorter than the tall Xiao Nihan. He had a broad eyebrows, red lips and white teeth. His smile naturally showed a sense of wind, but when he raised his hands and feet, he looked quite frivolous and lacked the majesty that a country deserved.

With the help of two beautiful palace maids, he took off his golden sable fur and wore a cloak of dragon emperor embroidered with colorful silk thread. He was wearing a pure gold flat crown on the crown. The top was round in front and back. The twelve tars made of white jade beads shook back and forth, and the handsome man was dressed in a fresh dress, which was also wonderful. Long Yuan wanted to speak, but suddenly felt a snoring itch, turned his head and sneezed twice in a row. The little eunuch Xianggui around him did not dare to dodge, but he sprayed a droplet on his face, and he still couldn't help saying: "I am the master of good luck, I am the master of good luck!"

After he said this, all the civil and military officials in the court knelt down at the same time and shouted: "Your Majesty's Holy Majesty!"

Long Yuan took a yellow silk handkerchief from Xianggui, wiped his nose, and then smiled and said, "Get up, it's snowing today, you can sleep for a while. It's so cold that you have to come to court. It's so painful..." His eyes fell on Xiao Nihan's face. He saw Xiao Ni's cold expression as cold as ice, and a hint of uneasiness appeared in his eyes.

Xiao Ni stood there coldly. He was the Grand Tutor of the current dynasty, the minister appointed by the late emperor, and one of the few ministers in the country who could not kneel down when seeing the emperor. He whispered: "Your Majesty, as the king of a country, you are actually greedy for the warmth of lying on the bed. If the late emperor saw you so lazy in national affairs, how should he think in his heart? How can Your Majesty face the millions of subjects in Dakang?" His words were righteous and loud.

Long Yuan's face turned red slightly and he said awkwardly: "Trior, I... I suffered some cold yesterday... so I got up late..."

The eunuch Qiu Fuhai also hurriedly echoed: "Yes, Your Majesty is sick..."

Xiao Nihan suddenly turned his head, and his terrifying eyes scared Qiu Fuhai to shut his mouth in a hurry. He said word by word: "Your Majesty is sick, are you all sick? Which of you on duty today?"

The eunuchs and palace maids who came with Long Yuan were all so scared that their faces were pale. One of the little eunuchs Xiangqi was so scared that his legs were weak. He knelt on the ground with a thud. He kowtowed repeatedly: "Today, the slave is on duty, he is polite to his master, and he has not woken up just now..."

Xiao Nihan nodded and said loudly: "You are wronged today, and you will definitely mislead the country in the future. What's the use of such a slave coming? The person who came dragged him out and chopped him!"

"Tai Shi..." Long Yuan said pale.

Xiao Nihan stopped his words with his eyes and shouted: "Your Majesty, I have important matters to report!"

Two wolves and tigers in front of the palace dragged Xiangqi, who was crying, and retreated. None of the civil and military officials in the court dared to come forward to dissuade him. Xiao Nihan can indeed be described as being powerful in the court and the country.

Long Yuan leaned on the dragon throne weakly: "Please speak with the Grand Master!"

"Your Majesty, the old minister received an urgent battle report last night. Xu Du, Cheng Wei, and mob rebellions occurred in various parts of Nanyang, which were very wide and had a bad impact."

Long Yuan whispered: "It's just a mob that causes trouble, you can discuss it." He looked tired and seemed to have no interest in political affairs. The ministers in the court sighed secretly, saying that the emperor was really a puppet, and the fate of Dakang seemed to have come to an end.

Xiao Nihan shouted: "I would like to send General Lan Xun to suppress the rioters."

Long Yuan had not spoken yet, but someone stood up from the class of the ministers. Zhou Antai, the Minister of Rites. He and Lan Xun were close friends. His son Zhou Longshan and Lan Xun's eldest daughter Lan Zhiyun made an engagement since childhood. The relationship was extraordinary. Although he was afraid of Xiao Nihan's power, he still plucked up the courage to stand up when he heard Xiao Nihan say this and said loudly: "Your Majesty, General Lan is stationed at Yanmen Pass and has always shouldered the important task of defending the Hu people in the north. If General Lan's troops are rashly transferred to suppress the rioters, it will inevitably lead to empty borders. If the Hu people take the opportunity to go south, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Xiao Nihan said angrily: "Master Zhou! Xu Du, Cheng Wei, Nanyang is only seven hundred miles away from our Dakang Kingdom. Once the riots form a general trend, it will directly threaten Kangdu and threaten His Majesty's safety. Although the Hu people are strong, they have signed an alliance with Dakang thirty years ago. There has been no major disputes in the past thirty years. What's more, if Lan Xun goes to quell the rebellion, I will allocate Sima Xiong to guard Yanmen Pass, so that this crisis can be resolved calmly."

Zhou Antai then realized that Xiao Nihan's real purpose was not to calm the chaos, but to point the target directly to Lan Xun. He knew better than anyone else that Lan Xun had always regarded Xiao Nihan as a rebel of the country. Xiao Nihan had tried to pull Lan Xun into his camp many times, but they were all rejected by Lan Xun. Now it seems that Xiao Nihan finally gave up on Lan Xun and was ready to take advantage of this quelling chaos against Lan Xun. Everyone knows that Lan Xun enjoys a high reputation in the Northwest Army of Dakang, and his confidant penetrates almost every part of the Northwest Army. It is so easy to pull him.

Finally another person walked out of the queue, Liao Qiyuan, the Minister of War of the Shangshu Province.

Seeing him coming out, Zhou Antai couldn't help frowning. Liao Qiyuan was promoted by Xiao Nihan, so naturally this person would not speak to him.

Liao Qiyuan said respectfully: "Your Majesty, if you have the right to fight against foreign countries, you must first settle the country. What's more, now that Dakang and Hu have been in peace for many years, why bother to disturb themselves? I believe that the civil unrest in the country must be pacified in the shortest time and restore the territory of Dakang to peace and tranquility. Looking at the army, only General Lan Xun has such strength. Your Majesty must make a decision early to avoid delaying the opportunity to fight."

Long Yuan looked at the horse pillar on the left with his eyes intently, wondering what he was thinking about? At this time, he was actually energetic and wandering around in his heart, which made the old ministers even more heartbroken.

Xiao Ni snorted coldly, then interrupted Long Yuan's contemplation. Long Yuan squeezed out a smile and said, "It's easy to say, the Grand Master must make sense..." He paused and said, "Where is the Prime Minister? Why didn't the Prime Minister come today?"

Qiu Fuhai stepped forward in time and said, "Your Majesty! The Prime Minister is sick and cannot attend court!"

Long Yuan sighed and said, "The Prime Minister must have worked hard all day long..." He coughed several times in a row: "Trial Master, I have an unbearable headache and I can't hold on anymore."

Xiao Nihan said expressionlessly: "What will Your Majesty do?"

Long Yuan waved his hand and said, "Do whatever the Grand Master wants to do. You must settle the internal affairs when fighting against foreign countries. It's good, just do what you just discussed." He stood up impatiently and walked out of Tianhe Palace in the shocked eyes of a group of ministers.

Xiao Nihan showed an unaware smile on his face. Such a foolish and useless emperor was exactly what he wanted. The more he was completely unrighteous, the more his power in Dakang would be consolidated. The real master of this Tianhe Palace was him, and he was the real dragon entrenched on the palace.

As soon as he walked into his own world, the frivolous look on Long Yuan's face shone out, and his originally lazy and innocent eyes instantly became deep and melancholy. When he walked into the front garden of the imperial study room, he suddenly stopped and Xianggui's low crying came from behind him.

Long Yuan turned around, Xianggui hurriedly knelt on the snow, and slapped himself with his backhand: "Slave deserves to die, slave deserves to die..."

Long Yuan sighed and said, "Little Guizi, go and take Xiao Xiangzi's corpse leader, and leave the palace to find a clean and uninhabited place to bury him well."

When Xianggui heard Long Yuan say this, his nose sore and shed tears: "Master, Xiao Qizi's death is wronged..."

Long Yuan pursed his lips gently. Xianggui, Xiangqi, the two eunuchs, have been with him since childhood and have a close relationship with him. Xiangqi was inexplicably chopped off his head by Xiao Nihan, and he felt very sad. However, he understood that the reason why Xiao Nihan did such a thing in public today was to be clear on the surface, but in fact, he gave himself, including all the civil and military officials of the court, and told everyone that he was the one who truly grasped the authority of Dakang.

Xianggui wiped his tears and said, "Master, you are the emperor of Dakang. As long as you say a word, you can save Xiao Qizi's life!"

Long Yuan's face suddenly became extremely cold. He took a step towards Xianggui, suddenly raised his hand and slapped Xianggui loudly, making Xianggui stunned for a moment.

Long Yuan angrily scolded: "Bastard, the Taishi did this for the sake of Dakang. If there were no Taishi, how could my Dakang be as solid as a country? You dare to instigate me in front of me. Do you really want me to cut you down together?"

Xianggui was both sad and wronged. When he thought of Xiangqi's fate, he also recalled himself. Tears couldn't stop flowing down. He begged for mercy on all his limbs, and the four palace maids following him all knelt down.

Long Yuan said angrily: "Get out of here! I don't want you to serve you!" He walked towards the imperial study on the snow. When the two eunuchs in charge of cleaning saw the little emperor coming, they hurriedly knelt down.

Long Yuanyu cursed before he was angry and said, "You have destroyed all the snow scenes, annoyed me, and cut all your heads!"

For a moment, a sound of begging for mercy sounded in the garden.
