Chapter 205: Goodwill
...
...
The Pegasus carriage galloped slowly in the air of the glorious imperial capital.
Feeding such a flying horse requires a lot of manpower and material resources. It is only for breeding. Two breeders need to take turns to feed twelve meals every two hours to ensure that the strength of the flying horse is sufficient at any time without affecting the speed because of suddenly being fed too much.
It is precisely because of this almost luxurious feeding method that even the most ordinary two-winged yellow-maned horses maintain sufficient energy in the middle of the night. It is because of this feeding demand that King Chao Le has opened many feeding horse stations to feed such pegasus for major wealthy businessmen.
Tang Zhi suddenly remembered the speeches made by the inventors of the helicopter in the square. The products born from the industrial revolution did not require such a troublesome feeding system.
...
As the carriage flies, a thin layer of orange-yellow light emits, illuminating the carriage like an orange lamp.
With the light, an elliptical bronze mirror of the artifact can be seen on each side, called the weight lifting symbol. The stability they provide allows the Pegasus to maintain balance under extremely bumpy conditions, and there will be no weight loss in the air regardless of acceleration or deceleration.
Tang Zhi was meditating with his eyes closed, and the Hao Qi was slowly moving in his dantian. It was not much distance away from reaching the Xuan level that could explode large-scale power.
"I didn't expect you to use this kind of attacking skills." After the carriage stabilized, Gu Buping bowed and opened the glass door and entered the carriage. The yellow-maned horse led them straight forward alone, in the direction of Shuijingwan.
Tang Zhi opened his eyes and looked at the old man sitting beside him. The moonlight passed through the window and fell on the old man's vicissitudes of his cheeks, looking even older.
Compared to him, the boy, who was over 60 years younger, showed an apologetic smile on his face and said, "I'll let you laugh at it."
Gu Buping waved his hand, stroked his white beard, and said, "I don't think it's a joke, I just think that the young man is really as aggressive as a young man. I'm really old. If it were me, I wouldn't have done something like you. I was impulsive, but I feel relieved."
The old man only discovered the difference between this young man tonight. He looked gentle and gentle, and was polite to his acquaintances, but when faced with problems, he had a very tough side in his heart.
Perhaps, this is also the reason why he made a big splash in the ring and was so popular with so many people.
Tang Zhi couldn't help but smile, his eyes were slightly confused, and said, "Many troubles always come to me, and for no reason were taken to the imperial guards' prison, and he was beaten up inexplicably in the interrogation room. This matter is absolutely impossible to forget about it like this. I am not a person without temper."
Gu Buping smiled and said, "Yes, humans are humans."
The quotes of fame that were quite second-class in popularity made Tang Zhi feel embarrassed. Seeing the old man's joking smile, the embarrassment on his face slowly dissipated.
"Why do you have to do it in front of you again?"
Tang Zhi thought for a while and said, "It's just a matter of breathing first. If some fire doesn't come out in person, it's meaningless."
One night I met two old men who were different but both took the weight in the dynasty. What I have to admit is that compared with the previous one who wanted to kill him, there was no pressure to see the old man behind him.
Without pressure, Tang Zhi stretched and said curiously: "I don't know why, this governor named Qin Lin seems to have a lot of opinions about me? As soon as I entered the imperial prison, I could feel his hostility towards me."
"Yes." Gu Buping nodded, "He was born as an ordinary soldier and had no family background. Although he was talented, his talent was not high and he was not qualified to enter the Three Gods and Ten Martial Arts. However, because he was violent since childhood, he had a conflict with his classmates once, and he beat his companions to death, and the entire cultivation career came to an end."
Tang Zhi's face froze, "Have you beaten his companion to death?"
"Well, people's temper and personality are now full of sayings in the academic circles of dynasties, including childhood memories and good and evil. No matter what the reason is, this general has never been a good person since he was a child."
"When he was beaten to death, he was only twelve years old. The concentration test had just ended for a few years. He was still practicing in the training camp of an ordinary sect in the southern part of the Dynasty. The Dynasty Court considered that he was young and not as old as to bear legal responsibilities, but was worried that his personality and temper would become a disaster, so he decided to send him to the frontline demon battlefield, which could be regarded as finding him a place for him to survive.
"As expected, he was like a fish in the battlefield, and he made all his military achievements at a young age, and his position also increased."
The old man unscrewed a bottle of mineral water, drank it, and said, "In the years on the battlefield, his temper and personality have been wiped out a lot, not as dangerous as before, but his bad traits such as conceit are getting stronger and stronger, seemingly becoming more and more powerful.
Six years ago, the appointment of the Imperial Guard's Flying Wings Commander changed. He was successfully elected because of his military merits and excellent air force command ability and was transferred back to the imperial capital from the front line. In the years when he returned to the imperial capital, although he had not caused any trouble, his reputation was quite bad."
"I heard before that he seemed very conservative and completely denies the industrial revolution?" Tang Zhi tentatively said.
"Well." Gu Buping nodded, "The Industrial Revolution has been extremely bumpy over the past hundred years, and opponents have always been a big deal. Perhaps because Qin Lin is a cultivator, and because of his human personality, he is very paranoid and dislikes what he doesn't like to the extreme. He believes that the Industrial Revolution is an insult to his cultivation power. He has always despised these mechanical metal tools as power, so he has always been one of the representative figures of the opposition."
Tang Zhi asked curiously: "Is the previous helicopter bombing case also closely related to him?"
"It's hard to say." Gu Buping shook his head, "This is a dynasty secret, I have no right to ask about it. However, the people who developed helicopters went to the dynasty military to promote their products, but they were suppressed by the military headquarters. He did play an important role in it. Some people also heard that he issued an order to knock down the helicopter, but this is just a rumor, and there is no substantial evidence.
Oh, I also missed a little. He likes to show off and enjoy the feeling of being sought after by others. He often disobeys military orders and is greedy for merit and makes progress. He prefers personal heroism. Otherwise, with his military merits, the positions he should have obtained are much more than that."
Gu Buping took out a bottle of new mineral water from the carton beside him and handed it to Tang Zhi. Tang Zhi thanked him and took it.
Mineral water is the famous "Niu Haha" in the dynasty. The cartoon image used is a laughing cow. Tang Zhi remembers that the boss of this company seemed to be selected as one of the top ten richest people in the dynasty in the past two years.
"It is not difficult to understand if a person as radical and stubborn as him hates people like you who have taken the limelight."
Tang Zhi nodded thoughtfully, looked at the old man's kind side face and said, "So even if I don't fight back, he will still cause trouble for me? That's why you acquiesced to everything I did just now?"
The old man smiled with relief and nodded, "Well, but my psychology is more complicated."
Tang Zhi looked at the old man in surprise, not knowing what his "complexity" meant, so he unconsciously took two sips.
The cold mineral water moistened the sleepy body, and the old man's voice rang in his ears: "Tonight Zhongyan found you. You should understand why Zhongyan was looking for you and what he was thinking, right?"
Tang Zhi nodded and said, "Well, Master Zhong has said everything."
"Well, don't worry, it's all over. Your Majesty may have believed in the existence of catastrophes before, but after the Emperor personally looked at the earth, it was completely certain that the so-called catastrophe was actually wrong. With the death of Zhong Guardian, this word should never appear in your life again."
"Yes." Tang Zhi nodded, thinking in his heart, I hope this word will never appear in his life again, the torture this word has brought to him is enough.
"Actually, you just said that the interrogation tonight was inexplicable. I want to correct your statement. In fact, this investigation was not inexplicable." The old man's words suddenly turned and pointed to a certain area where Tang Zhi had already spied through, but he had not been able to figure out the essence.
"You said."
Zhong Yan was silent for a moment, but still did not hide it. He revealed the areas that were crucial to this young man but should not have been revealed to the young man.
"Do you know that His Majesty has four children in total? Behind His Highness, there are two princes and a princess."
Tang Zhi nodded. This was basically a well-known thing for the dynasty. As for the youngest princess Yue Yier, Tang Zhi is even more familiar with it.
Speaking of Yue Yier, the boy's brows couldn't help but rise gently, and a happy mood spread in his heart. He didn't see him for a while, but I miss her very much...
While speaking, a dragon-shaped colorful flag made of fire bull lin leather and metal frame structure, coupled with a unique wind-attributed instrument, flew through the sky in the distance and flew in the sky above the bustling imperial capital.
Its appearance is vivid and lifelike. From a distance, it looks like a fifty-meter-long red real dragon flying in the air.
This is a luxury item purchased by a wealthy family. It costs hundreds of thousands of yuan. It can be simulated as a real dragon and fly in the air. It has no carrying capacity, no combat power, and only ornamental value.
People who had not fallen asleep in the middle of the night cheered excitedly as the red dragon flying through the air.
The Dharma Protector Zhong withdrew his casual glance, looked at the Yunjin decorative wallpaper inside the carriage, and said slowly: "There have been hereditary changes throughout the ages, and they are the eldest sons who have inherited the throne, but as long as there is not only one prince, every generation of royal family in the dynasty will face the same problem, that is, the dispute over the throne."
Tang Zhi was so smart that he immediately understood what Zhong Hufa wanted to express. He asked in surprise: "But your prince has already confirmed it?"
"It has been confirmed long ago, but as long as Your Majesty is still there and the crown prince has not ascended the throne in one day, then there is a possibility of replacement."
A simple word for change is as if a sudden thunder appeared in the sky. Gu Buping said the words expressed in slightest, and Tang Zhi didn't understand them clearly. How rebellious it was.
"this……"
"This is not a secret. Your Majesty is actually very clear. His Highness is actually coveting the throne." Gu Buping shook his head and gently patted the young man on the shoulder, indicating that he didn't have to be so nervous and shocked. "This is a normal thing. As a royal family, if you don't have any idea about the throne, that's an abnormal thing."
"The Second Prince is extremely smart, arrogant, and very charming. At the age of eight, he proposed a plan to solve the flood disaster in Youzhou and has great potential for a king. Therefore, over the years, a large number of court officials have been following him and willing to serve him.
On the other hand, the Crown Prince has always given people the impression that he is lustful and stupid. Of course, the former is indeed true, but the Crown Prince is not so stupid because many people think. In fact, Your Highness is very clear that the fight between the two of them must have a result."
"Why must fight? Your Majesty will not stop such a thing?" Tang Zhi asked.
Gu Buping couldn't help laughing and said slowly: "The charm of the throne is hard for ordinary people to imagine, let alone a prince who is only one step away from the throne? So such a thing cannot be stopped, Your Majesty can only acquiesce to such a thing, as long as the matter is maintained at the same level. In the five thousand years of history, there are no fewer such throne fights, and even the harem's concubines are extremely fierce. Your Majesty also has only married one wife in his life and established a queen...
Of course, this is also true of Your Majesty…”
Before the old man finished speaking, Tang Zhi looked at him in a daze.
The boy's eyes made the old man smile bitterly, and scratched his head childishly, saying, "Your Majesty is actually bisexual, it seems you really don't know."
Tang Zhi was stunned.
“Bissive?”
"Well... this is not a secret. Your Majesty has dozens of male lovers in the palace, all of whom are beautiful. But this is not the point I want to tell you. The point is that the struggle between the eldest prince and the second prince has been going on for many years and is becoming increasingly fierce."
Because he was born ordinary, even after he came to the capital, he began to contact the real upper part of the world, but the young man still did not understand and understand the many laws above, so he could not imagine the relationship between the princes, but he clearly understood what kind of situation was tonight.
"So Liu Guoyan and Qin Lin are working for the second prince? And because of the Imperial Academy, I was regarded as the Crown Prince's person? Is this revenge on me and also using me to attack His Highness?"
"Not all." Gu Buping shook his head.
While speaking, the majestic city wall in the distance appeared at the front of the sight, and the lights of the city were almost thrown behind.
