"Wen Tao, the national jade seal, has never been lost by kings of all dynasties since Qin Wangzheng, the First Emperor. I don't want to lose this Heshi Bi that is worth ten thousand gold now." Li Xingyun said calmly. p>
The jade seal he mentioned was carved from He's jade during the Qin Dynasty. On the front, there are eight insect and bird seal characters engraved on it: "I have been ordered by heaven, and I will live long and prosperous."
This is a token of the emperor and a symbol of imperial power.
Although it is not true that one cannot be an emperor without the Chuanguo Jade Seal, but with the Chuanguo Jade Seal, one is the most orthodox emperor, the emperor with Chinese blood.
"The guilty minister Wen Tao will live up to His Majesty's expectations and find the location of the imperial seal as soon as possible." Wen Tao slowly lowered his body and kowtowed to Li Xingyun.
"Back off."
Li Xingyun turned his back, his face expressionless, and he waved casually.
"The guilty minister received the decree."
Wen Tao struggled to stand up, wiped the blood on his face, bowed deeply to Li Xingyun's back again, and left the hall dragging his almost dry body.
Finally......
Li Xingyun still gave Wen Tao a chance to make meritorious deeds, and did not adopt the suggestion just now by the bad commander Yuan Tiangang to kill the Nine Clan.
It's not that he is kind and compassionate and has the intention to let this traitor go.
A king who is not ruthless will not be able to stand firm.
Li Xingyun himself understands this truth very well. A king must not be too tender and kind. The reason for giving this opportunity is mainly because Wen Tao will still be useful in the future, and there is really no need to kill him now.
Later.
Looking at Wen Tao's own performance, if he performs well, he can save his life, but it is already impossible to gain his trust again.
Those who betray are not worthy of forgiveness, and they are lucky to be alive.
"Your Majesty, I believe that this traitor cannot be trusted. The passing of the national jade seal is of great importance, so it would be unavoidable to leave it to him..." Bad Commander Yuan Tiangang stopped talking.
"Why, Yuan Tiangang, are you doubting my vision or the ability of Tianjiexing Wen Tao?" No emotion could be heard in Li Xingyun's voice.
"I don't dare." Bad handsome Yuan Tiangang said quickly.
"He doesn't dare either." Li Xingyun's tone was incomprehensible.
"But he has a history of betraying Your Majesty and betraying bad people. Do you think His Majesty has forgiven him for being given such an important task?" There was a hint of curiosity in the voice of Bad Commander Yuan Tiangang.
"The whole world is not the land of the king, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers. If you are a minister, you should die if you are disloyal. If you betray, you should die."
"Yuan Tiangang, please remember that the reason for entrusting you with this important task is based on his ability. It does not mean that I have forgiven his betrayal."
"I will never forgive any betrayer. He is now trying to atone for his past betrayal and fight for a chance to survive."
Li Xingyun spoke coldly and ruthlessly, with an invisible aura surrounding him, already possessing a hint of the majesty of an emperor.
Maybe he didn't notice it himself.
When he agreed to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, a bad person from the Tang Dynasty stepped forward and took over the power of the bad person, his identity became completely different.
Prince and Emperor.
Your Highness and Your Majesty.
Although the former has a noble status, it is only one step away from the latter.
But just one step away, I don’t know how many mountains of corpses and seas of blood are buried.
Indeed.
It is indeed a bit easy for Li Xingyun to gain the position of emperor now.
It can even be said that he moved the position of emperor to his butt.
At this time.
All he needs is a nod from Li Xingyun to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.
But behind the seemingly simple process, it is not without cost.
The thirty-year plan of the bad commander Yuan Tiangang, the thirty-year hiding of the bad people, and the continuous sacrifices of generations of bad people in order to regain the Tang Dynasty.
Only after the former leader Zhu Wen and his son killed each other, and accompanied by the evil handsome Yuan Tiangang, was the plan completed, Li Xingyun could ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor as long as he nodded.
Li Xingyun will never know that in his previous life, when Jiao Landian refused to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, he made the sacrifices of many bad people completely worthless.
Bad people are not afraid of death, they are afraid of being worthless.
Now that the Tang Dynasty has been declared dead, what else do the bad people of the Tang Dynasty do?
As long as you are a human being, you need faith to live. For yourself, for your family, for the country, no matter what, you must always have a goal.
Even a salted fish lying flat has the goal of lying flat.
Once a person loses his direction and goal, he will die in the end.
But the good thing is.
This time, Li Xingyun did not let these bad people down, and did not let their thirty years of hard work and sacrifice turn into something almost worthless.
........
After Wen Tao left with a feeling of great luck, a dozen palace ladies came to the hall very familiarly, and they quickly wiped away the remaining blood stains on the floor of the hall.
It can be seen that this is not the first time they have done this kind of cleaning. They even chose to turn a blind eye to Li Xingyun, the bad handsome Yuan Tiangang, and Shi Yao in the hall.
This is not because they are cowardly, but because as the lowest-level palace maids, they have to do their own thing well and don’t ask too much, don’t look too much, and don’t think too much, so that they can barely survive in this palace.
Remember.
This is not some messy TV series. A mere palace maid with a humble status dares to talk to the emperor casually without fear of death.
This is reality, cruel reality.
What are their identities and their status? How can they have the right to look at, think about, and speak nonsense to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty Li Xingyun, the bad handsome man of the Tang Dynasty Yuan Tiangang, and the suspected concubine Shi Yao.
At most, you can do your job humbly, kneel down respectfully and then leave quietly. This is also the way of survival for low-level palace ladies.
As for that kind of unrealistic dream, hoping that one day you will be favored by the emperor, and once you fly on a branch and become a phoenix, you have to hope that the emperor will be drunk.
Otherwise, if the emperor didn't go to the harem to look for concubines with better looks and figures, why would he bother to harm ordinary palace maids like them who were selected from the draft?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
How can there be so many beautiful women who are suppressed and become ordinary palace maids? Most beautiful women have at least the status of a female official.
As for female officials, they are divided into six divisions and twenty-four divisions, each with different departments for female officials.
Shang Gong Bureau: in charge of Siyan, in charge of publicity and memorials; Sibu, in charge of registering and accounting; Si Zheng, in charge of form and punishment; Si Wei, in charge of the keys of the pavilion, and in charge of documents.
Shangyi Bureau: in charge of official records, teaching of classics and history, pen and paper cases, music clerk, music supervisor, guest clerk, guest clerk, praise clerk, etiquette, and royal scripture collection.
Bureau of Shangfu: Guan Si Xi, Zhang Cong Xi Fu Jie, Si Yi, Zhang Hua Fu, Si Decoration, Si Yi, Si Decoration, Si Zhan, Zhang Shen Bao, Ming Bao, Liu Bao Talisman.
Shangshi Bureau: in charge of the food department, in charge of food preparation, brewing department, wine brewing department, and medicine department, in charge of medical and witchcraft potions; and the department of brewing department, in charge of brewing firewood and charcoal, and tasting everything before eating.
Shang Bing Bureau: in charge of the office settings, in charge of the beds, mats, curtains, laying and sweeping, the Secretary of State, in charge of the chariot, umbrellas and fans, the Secretary of the Garden, the Secretary of the lamps, in charge of the lights and candles, until the last moment of daylight is exhausted.
Shanggong Bureau: in charge of the system, tailoring, treasures, gold, jade, money, silk and cotton colors, weaving, treasures, color, accounting, weaving and dyeing.
Simply put.
Not to mention the queen, the fourth concubine, the ninth concubine...etc. the emperor's concubine.
These female officials who are in the Six Shang and Twenty-four Divisions have a pretty good status in the palace and are not as humble as these low-level palace ladies.
And this time.
Li Xingyun silently watched the maids cleaning up the blood stains left by Wen Tao, and said without raising his head: "Yuan Tiangang, Shi Yao, you all also go down, I want to be quiet for a while."
He is thinking.
What are you thinking?
Think of yourself!
When the emperor was angry, he laid down millions of corpses and bled for thousands of miles.
He doesn't know how much blood he will be stained with in the future, but he believes that he should be able to bear it.
As long as she is still around...
"Wei Chen resigns."
Shi Yao and the bad handsome Yuan Tiangang left and did not bother the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty again.
I don’t know how long has passed.
As the palace maid cleaning up the bloodstains respectfully retreated, a middle-aged man wearing a pink shirt emerged.
He looked a bit girly overall, and walked into this cold hall with very gentle steps under Li Xingyun's gaze.
"The bad man Tiangang Thirty-Six Colonel Tian Qiaoxing, Shangguan Yunque, please see...Xingyun...Your Majesty." Shangguan Yunque knelt down on one knee and spoke in a solemn tone.
"Shangguan, if you like, I allow you to call me by your real name."
Li Xingyun raised his hand slightly to signal the other party to stand up.
"Xing... Your Majesty, let's forget it. Last time I accidentally said something wrong and was slapped hard by the commander. My flower-like face is still swollen.
." Shangguan Yunque said with a resentful look.
"That's easy to say. Next time, Shangguan, why don't you just call me back!" Li Xingyun smiled calmly.
"Your Majesty, you want me to fight back? Isn't this asking for death? Even the masters of the great heaven level are like ants in the hands of the commander, let alone a mid-level person like me. I'm afraid my life will be dead if the commander takes one look.
More than half."
Shangguan Yunque was startled, he patted his chest with a scared look on his face, and quickly said that he couldn't do it.
"Then there's nothing we can do. I can't beat him either. Just accept it, Shangguan." Li Xingyun shrugged.
"So what if I don't recognize him? He is a commander, an invincible existence in the world." Shangguan Yunque said helplessly.
That's it.
After Li Xingyun and Shangguan Yunque chatted for a long time, the former's face suddenly became serious, not at all as approachable as when they were just chatting.
"Shangguan Yunque."
"I'm here!"
"From today onwards, I will appoint you as the commander of the imperial army, commanding 50,000 imperial troops to protect the imperial city."
"My lord, take your orders."
"Shangguan Yunque, I...can I trust you?"
Li Xingyun knew very well that in this world, anyone could betray him, but only Shangguan would not, because he had already used his life to practice his loyalty.
But he still asked, and this is the emperor.
Absolute trust...for an emperor, it is such a luxurious word!
"Xing... Your Majesty, don't worry, I will do my best to protect the safety of the imperial city." Shangguan Yunque looked excited, looking like he was in a panic.
His world is simple, far less complicated.
That is to devote everything to protect Li Xingyun, to protect this young man named Li Xingyun, not a person who pretends to be the emperor.
"Don't let me down." Li Xingyun nodded gently.
Right now.
Shangguan Yunque seemed to have thought of something and asked quickly: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask how my status as a bad person should be..."
Hear the words.
Li Xingyun looked at Shangguan Yunque, then looked down at his hands, and suddenly felt a dull pain in his heart.
He at this time.
I also remembered the pain of having my heart broken into pieces on the day I died under the Longquan sword.
"One day you are a bad person, you will be a bad person all your life. You can be a bad person, I can be a bad person, the people of the Tang Dynasty, and anyone can be a bad person."
"Bad people are not bad people for one person, bad people are bad people for all people in the world."
"We are all bad people, and we want to wipe out all bad people in the world!"
