Chapter 645: So what about the number one swordsman?
News from the northern border will always reach the divine capital no matter how slow it is. What's more, His Majesty the Emperor has returned now, so the news will naturally spread back.
First of all, there are many dead names. Those young people are from Tianyuyuan, from the guardian envoy lineage, but more of them are from those aristocratic families. Of course, no one cares whether the monks outside the country die or not, but even if
In this way, the imperial court quickly issued many announcements. The Ministry of Rites was busy for a long time and prepared many things to send to the major families in Shendu. This was His Majesty's wish. In order to show their contribution to Daliang, of course they excepted those in front of their own homes.
In addition to hanging a white lantern, he also wrote a memorial and sent it to the Emperor's desk in the Imperial Study Room to express his gratitude for His Majesty's favor.
But in fact, no one paid much attention to the things sent by His Majesty the Emperor or the memorials they sent to the palace.
Li Heng was squatting in the imperial study, burning the memorials.
These aristocratic families are very rich, so the paper they use is also very good. When it is burned, some ink fragrance comes out, which makes Li Heng feel a little comfortable.
Emperor Liang sat behind the case, watching the wisps of green smoke blown by the wind, and said softly: "Another year has passed in the blink of an eye."
Li Heng said: "Your Majesty has already been to Mobei twice and cannot go again."
Emperor Liang ignored him and just said: "Spring is here, let's go fly the kites."
After hearing this, Li Heng paused and looked at His Majesty the Emperor with some confusion. The latter ignored him, got up on his own, and walked out of the imperial study.
Li Heng didn't say much. When he walked out of the imperial study, he ordered people to find Zhiyuan.
The spring in Shendu is still a bit cold, and the green buds have just sprouted on those trees.
Not much of a spring vibe.
But it's actually much better than the northern border.
Emperor Daliang walked forward and soon came to an extremely broad square. The little eunuch ran panting from a distance, holding an ordinary paper kite in his hand. Li Heng took it and was about to hand it to Daliang.
Emperor, His Majesty the Emperor just took the kite, stood there, and said with a smile: "You release it."
Li Heng nodded, and the kite quickly flew up and floated in the sky.
Emperor Liang raised his head, looked at the paper kite, and remembered some past events.
"Li Heng, I remember that many years ago, you were the one who accompanied Yuan'er to fly paper kites."
Emperor Liang suddenly spoke, causing Li Heng to fall into memories.
After a while, Li Heng also said with emotion: "Yes, what Her Royal Highness the Princess liked to do most every spring was to fly kites. The Queen's health was not good, and Her Majesty had too many things to do, so she only had the servants to accompany her. However,
In those years, Her Royal Highness the Princess kept saying that she wanted Your Majesty to accompany her."
Emperor Liang said calmly: "At that time, my nephew was pressing me hard. I had to think about how to deal with it every day. Where did I get the mood from? After a few years of fighting, I had no time. After that, I became such an emperor.
The whole bridge is on my shoulders, oh... By the way, even if I wanted to accompany her at that time, that girl would have grown up long ago and no longer likes to talk to me."
"Sometimes, I feel that the easiest thing to ignore in this world is time. I always feel that it is still early, so I can wait, but if I wait, I will lose time."
Emperor Liang looked at the kite in the sky and said with a smile: "It is not a good thing to be born into an emperor's family."
Li Heng thought for a while and didn't answer.
Emperor Daliang laughed at himself: "But it seems that I took this seat myself. If I didn't want to be the emperor, wouldn't I have waited for him to kill me?"
Li Heng did not answer the call, but said softly: "Your Majesty, there have been a lot of rumors about God recently."
Emperor Liang said casually: "Did those civil servants do it again?"
Li Heng said: "It's not very clear. I haven't found the source."
After hearing this, Emperor Liang looked at Li Heng. There shouldn't be anything that Emperor Liang didn't know.
The beams are his, and the gods are even more his. He should know very clearly anything that happens here.
If you can't find it, it can actually explain a lot of things.
Emperor Liang said: "What kind of rumor is it?"
Li Heng said softly: "Some people say that the former prince still has heirs alive."
Emperor Liang was somewhat silent and did not speak.
This doesn't seem to be a secret. There are many people who have guessed Chen Chao's identity, but they are all guesses and there is no evidence. So even if they know, they can only pretend not to know, let alone talk about it everywhere. But now there are rumors everywhere.
But it means something different.
Obviously someone wanted to use this to make Chen Chao's identity public.
Li Heng said softly: "Maybe I'm not referring to him."
Emperor Liang did not speak.
No matter who said it, it actually means one thing, that is, someone is going to do something with this matter.
Perhaps he was taking the opportunity to disturb Daliang, or perhaps he was directly... trying to oust the Emperor of Daliang from his throne.
Many ministers in the court were promoted by the former prince many years ago, and many were loyal to the deposed emperor.
Of course, the most radical group of them have long since turned into dust, but there are also many people who are obedient on the surface but secretly have ulterior motives.
But these are not very important.
What matters is how those aristocratic families choose.
The power they possess is the most powerful, and their right to speak is also very important.
In the past, they could remain silent because all the descendants of the former prince were dead, and even if they wanted to support a new king, they could not find a suitable candidate.
But things are different now. Since the heirs of the former prince are still alive, then by approving him as the new king, there will be an explanation to the world, and there will not be many objections.
At least it occupies a legitimate position.
The throne of Emperor Liang was taken back from someone else, so is it natural to give it back?
Emperor Liang smiled and said, "It turns out they are starting to be afraid."
Li Heng remained silent.
Over the years, Emperor Liang did a lot of things that the wealthy families did not want to see.
But sometimes, if you don’t want to look, you can only look at it.
But their patience also has a bottom line.
As Emperor Liang took more and more actions, they became more and more frightened.
They were not sure what Emperor Liang was going to do in the end.
So rumors spread.
This is a threat and a statement.
Emperor Liang said calmly: "I would like to see what they can do."
The paper kite is still floating in the sky.
…
…
"Spring is here, and another year has begun. It's like this every year. It doesn't always look good. It needs some new atmosphere."
A young man was walking on the streets of Shendu and took a look at the paper kites floating in the sky.
