Chapter 35 The Rise of the Little Village Girl (13)
Although Li Xiaoyu didn't know what was going on in the imperial court due to his status restrictions, he was sensitive to the treacherous and changeable undercurrents on the surface of today's peaceful and prosperous times.
It should be said that he is truly worthy of being a prime minister in his previous life.
Li Xiaoyu's feeling was correct. In this spring, His Majesty the Emperor of the Mo Dynasty passed away, and the whole country mourned for three months.
It doesn't matter that the emperor dies. The emperor is also a human being. It doesn't mean he can live ten thousand years just because he is called Long Live. As long as he is a human being, he will die one day.
But the problem was that the emperor passed away in a hurry. He did not establish a prince during his lifetime, and after his death he left no edict announcing which prince would succeed him.
In such a situation, except for the ignorant three-year-old child and the mentally retarded, everyone knew that the storm of the Mo Dynasty was coming.
Since ancient times, the struggle for the throne has always been accompanied by bloodshed and sacrifice.
The winner steps on the white bones and steps onto the supreme throne. The loser will not only turn into a handful of loess, but will also leave an infamy in the history books.
But no matter how tragic the fate of the latter is, there are always people in every dynasty who covet the dragon chair.
Within just half a year, the capital of the Great Mo Dynasty was in turmoil, and several princes fought to their death.
The internal troubles have not yet been calmed down, and there is unrest in the south, east, west, and south. As a result, the people are living in dire straits, and countless people have risen up.
Just when the Mo Dynasty was about to fall apart, King Sizhong of Shanling led his men to put down the rebellion one by one, and countless people worshiped him as a god.
After spending five years quelling the external chaos, King Shanling directly sent troops to the capital. Everyone believed that he would become the next emperor, including the princes.
The princes hated him with gnashing of teeth, but the common people welcomed him.
To be honest, for the people, they didn't care whether King Shanling's move was treasonous or not. They only knew that if those princes became emperors, their future life would definitely be difficult.
………
On the day when King Shanling's army arrived in the capital, countless people came to greet him at the city gate, all with smiles on their faces.
"Brother Wang, are you also here to see King Shanling enter the city?" Several men in the crowd gathered together and talked.
"Yes, I heard that King Shanling was eight feet tall and had eyes like copper bells. He was a very heroic man." Another man said excitedly, "I have lived a life worthy of being able to see King Shanling."
"Is there only King Shanling?" Another man joked, and then said with emotion, "In addition to King Shanling, I also want to meet Li Xiaoyu, the strategist who is rumored to have countless strategies. Such wise people are role models for our generation."
"Nonsense, domineering men like King Shan Ling are the role models we should follow."
"You're just talking nonsense. In the previous battle at Liuyun Mountain, if it weren't for Commander Li's plan, how could the Shanling Army have defeated the enemy unscathed and achieved a great victory?"
Seeing the two of them arguing so hard that they were about to fight, a few women walked over and intervened.
"If you ask me, the most powerful ones are clearly Snow Wolf General Li Quyue and Iron-Blooded Princess Si Kou. These two are the most powerful men."
"Not bad, especially General Snow Wolf. She can control the wolves. Most men can't do it better than her."
The two men, who were arguing so much that they were vomiting, immediately became unconvinced and said, "Who is farting here? Hey... Madam, why are you here?"
Two women immediately walked out from the crowd of women, pinched the ears of the two men with angry expressions, and turned them 180 degrees, "Who are you scolding?"
"You are so capable, aren't you? You actually dare to scold me."
"Madam, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. There are so many outsiders, how can I save some face for my husband?"
Just when a few people were noisy, a high-pitched voice suddenly shouted, "The Shanling Army has entered the city."
Upon hearing the news, everyone immediately stopped what they were doing and rushed forward, wanting to get up close and personal with the heroic army that protected the Great Mo Dynasty.
"Look, that's the King of Shanling. He's so heroic."
At the front, a middle-aged man wearing black armor was seen riding a horse. He was stern, but his every move was filled with incomparable domineering air.
Although he was not eight feet tall and had eyes like copper bells as mentioned in the legend, such a Shanling King did not disappoint the people.
Behind King Shanling, there were three people walking side by side.
On the far left is a man in Tsing Yi with a hand-operated folding fan and a beautiful face. Needless to say, this is the rumored military commander Li Xiaoyu.
As expected, he was as handsome and handsome as rumored, making more than half of the women present have stars in their eyes.
In the middle is a well-dressed woman riding a horse. Although her features are picturesque, her features reveal an awe-inspiring nobility. There is no doubt that this is the daughter of King Shanling, the little princess Si Kou.
As for the woman on the far right, everyone saw her riding a horse with a snow-white wolf accompanying her, and they immediately knew who she was.
Legend has it that Military Advisor Li Xiaoyu and General Snow Wolf Li Quyue are brothers and sisters, but their abilities are completely different.
One is wise and wise, but his force value is weak. The other person has excellent force value, but he never likes to use tricks and is good at suppressing with force.
Many people looked at Su Zhan curiously. This girl looked delicate and pretty. If it weren't for the wolf next to her, it would be hard to tell that she was the rumored powerful Snow Wolf General.
It has to be said that the Shanling Army today is really too welcoming. Not only are the people on both sides of the road welcoming them, but even the attic next to it is packed with people.
There were too many people, and everyone wanted to push forward, and an incident would easily occur. A girl watching the fun in the attic was squeezed down by the people next to her. Everyone exclaimed, almost thinking that the next step was
You will see blood splattering everywhere in seconds.
I saw a figure flash past, and General Xuelang, who was sitting on the horse just now, jumped up, put one arm around the girl's waist, and easily took her down.
Finally, he gently placed the girl on the ground, lowered his head and asked gently, "Girl, are you okay?"
The girl immediately blushed with embarrassment and stammered, "No, it's okay. Thank you, General, for saving me."
Su Zhan then left, got back on his horse, and left with everyone.
The people on the side who were lucky enough to witness what happened cheered loudly. Sure enough, no matter what it looked like on the surface, this man was indeed the rumored General Snow Wolf.
As expected, she was extremely powerful. It was not popular in the Great Mo Dynasty to consider thinness as beauty. In addition, the gold and silver jewelry this girl was wearing fell from the air. General Snow Wolf and other women could easily hug her with one hand.
, this is not what infinite power is.
Countless women were biting their handkerchiefs with tears in their eyes, wondering why such a powerful person couldn't be a man.
In the eyes of many people, King Shanling did not go straight to the palace, but instead led his troops to the mansion where he had left the capital.
As a prince, Sizhong, even if the late emperor was afraid of his younger brother, he would not grant him the royal palace if he did not make a big mistake.
Sizhong stared at the vermilion door in front of him. After many years, he finally returned here.
Among the brothers of his generation, he was the only one left.
"Dismount and enter the house."
Sizhong said calmly, and the soldiers immediately surrounded the palace on three levels inside and three outside. Then he took his daughter and the Li brothers and sisters into the palace.
Since no one had lived there for a long time, the palace naturally looked desolate, and Si Kou quickly ordered people to clean it up.
After everything was settled, the group sat down.
Sizhong suddenly asked, "Don't you want to ask why I chose to live in the palace instead of going to the palace?"
Si Kou smiled lightly, and then said, "No matter what your father chooses, my daughter will support your choice."
Her words seemed to be a double entendre. On the surface, she just had no doubts about where she lived, but in fact, she was expressing her stance.
"What about you two? What do you think?" The two brothers and sisters of the Li family have been fighting with him for five years. Coupled with the relationship between Li Xiaoyu and Si Kou, he naturally treats the two brothers and sisters as his juniors.
"I don't have any ideas. Uncle Si can do whatever he wants. We all listen to you." Su Zhan smiled and spoke very simply.
Li Xiaoyu glared at Si Kou and Su Zhan. The two didn't say anything. Didn't they ask him to pierce the window paper?
"Uncle Si, don't you want to be the emperor?" Li Xiaoyu pondered for a moment, but gave up the insinuations and chose to ask directly.
Today's Da Mo Dynasty can be said to have been built up by the four people present.
Among them, if one was to be chosen as emperor, Sizhong would undoubtedly be the most suitable candidate in terms of status and prestige among the people.
As long as he raises his arms, no one in the entire Mo Dynasty would dare to say no.
However, he did not choose to live in the palace now.
The three people who knew his character well knew immediately that Sizhong had no intention of becoming emperor.
Su Zhan turned his head and sneered. He didn't know whether His Majesty the Emperor, who had already arrived underground, would regret his initial suspicion of Sizhong when he learned of this fact.
After all, if he hadn't been too afraid of this younger brother and ignored the hidden arrows coming from behind, he wouldn't have been killed by his sons together.
"It is true that being an emperor means being above ten thousand people, but it is also like being in a cold place. I am over forty this year, and for the rest of my time, I will look forward to entertaining my grandchildren and teaching your children. How can I have the free time to manage the country?
Big deal." Sizhong waved his hand nonchalantly, dismissing the countless people vying for the seat.
Li Xiaoyu and Si Kou looked at each other. There was obvious shyness in their eyes, and they were obviously embarrassed.
"Since Uncle Si is not willing to be the emperor, but the country cannot be without a king for a day, who should we choose to be the new emperor?" Su Zhan asked.
"I do have a candidate here. What do you think of Prince Zhuang?" Li Xiaoyu shook the fan in his hand and said after pondering for a moment.
