The decree was announced: "Add King Liu Ling of Zhong as regent, prime minister of internal and external military and state affairs, chief minister of auxiliary affairs, chief minister of the Military Aircraft Department, and great general of Tiance..."
A series of positions were added to Liu Ling's head. If Emperor Xiao, who has already been buried, knew that Lu Sen and Hou Shen Zhou Yangong had tampered with his will, would he be so angry that his beard curled up? Or maybe there was another person underground.
A world where he figured out the whole story and smiled with relief?
On the day after Emperor Xiao's funeral, the new emperor ascended the throne. Prince Liu Li, who was only seven years old, ascended the throne as emperor and became Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty. The country's name was changed to Datong.
The emperor's enthronement ceremony, as the real in charge of the internal and external affairs of the court, the regent Liu Ling who concentrated all the power did not attend. When Emperor Liu Li of the Han Ming Dynasty accepted the ceremony of kneeling and worshiping by the ministers, he was drinking in the imperial mausoleum in front of the coffin of Emperor Xiao.
Wine is bitter, tears are bitter, and so is the heart.
"Second brother, sleep well. You never had a full night's sleep before you were alive, and now you can finally sleep peacefully and soundly. I heard that the world was cold. Is the quilt on your body thick enough?"
Liu Ling took a sip of wine and stroked the cold coffin.
"Second brother, I don't blame you, I really don't blame you. I know that you did this for the sake of the prince and your only son. Even if you wanted to attack me, I would never blame you. Such a result had already happened to me.
It was within my expectations. You have done many things without telling me, and I have done many things without telling you. You want to demote me to a commoner, and I have long thought of leaving the great man and flying away. In fact, we have not always been with each other.
As imagined, we trust each other and work together, it's just a matter of who can pierce the paper first."
"Second brother, we are even."
"Actually, since the second year of Jiafeng, I have been aware of your surveillance of me. And perhaps you also know of my surveillance of you? We are both cautiously wary of each other, and carefully maintain a beautiful relationship.
Harmony. I know that if you were in better health, you would never make such a decision. None of the decisions you made before you left have been implemented now. This is not my intention, it is Mr. Lu Sen and Mr. Hou Shen.
It also means... it means your wife, the former queen and now the queen mother Su Jianli."
"You think you are doing the right thing. Looking at it from your perspective, I know that you really can't say you have made any mistakes. Fan of the authorities, aren't I always careful to deal with your changing attitude? Your wife,
My sister-in-law actually sees things more clearly than anyone else. Without her support, Lu Sen and Hou Shen would not have the courage to do things that disobey the will. Maybe they will feel guilty, but they will never go against your will."
"Second brother, do you know? The day before you summoned Lu Sen, Hou Shen and Pei Hao, the queen also summoned Lu Sen and gave Hou Shen a secret decree. I only knew this, and I never thought of it.
There are such big differences between you and your husband. You decreed that I should be demoted to a commoner, but the day before, the queen asked Lu Sen to do everything possible to prevent you and my brother from killing each other. The queen's secret decree to Hou Shen was to let
Hou Shen told me that even if His Majesty Long Yu passes away one day, I will still be the loyal king of the Han Dynasty and the uncle of the prince!"
"Second brother, you don't have to blame the Queen. You can't. Don't think that the Queen is doing this for my own sake. Although I respect the Queen over the years, I have never met her several times. The Queen did this.
, all for you, my second brother!"
"She is afraid that our brothers will kill each other. Even if I die in the hands of the second brother in the end, the second brother will be miserable, right? I thought that the person who knows you best in the world is me, but now I know that I know you best.
The person you are with is the woman you spend time with day and night. Her wisdom and determination are beyond my comparison."
"The queen did the right thing. Second brother, you didn't do anything wrong either. Maybe you were heartbroken when you made this decision? I actually don't understand you, and you have never understood me. Maybe this
This is the saddest thing between us brothers. In fact, I am no longer your cowardly and sickly ninth brother, not since I was sixteen! But I respect you, admire you, and love you because you really
I really want to take care of me and love me like my brother."
"When I came to this world, everything I saw and felt was cold. It wasn't until you appeared in front of me that I realized there was warmth in this world. Our father has always wanted to
He wants to kill me, but he doesn’t dare to kill me. I guess, maybe he saw something? The prince wants to kill me, the fourth son wants to kill me, this so-called father of the family wants to kill me, my brother wants to kill me, is this still family?
Only you, second brother, only you give me warmth."
"Other people don't know, but I remember clearly. When I was seriously ill, when the fourth child covered my mouth and nose with a wet cloth and tried to suffocate me, it was you who saved me. When the fourth child said this, my father's
When I wanted to do my bidding, you stood firmly in front of me. The first scene I saw when I opened my eyes was such cruelty, and you were the only warmth in this cruelty. Just like a candle in winter.
, shine in my heart. From that day on, I vowed to protect you and the brotherhood between us."
"He is our younger brother! How could you do it! Second brother, I still remember what you shouted out with red eyes, and I also remember your argument. You all saw a burst of red light.
My illness gradually improved. My father believed the rumors that I was possessed by an evil spirit and would bring disaster to the Han Dynasty, so the cruel father decided to let me "die of illness"! In order to get the throne
The fourth child immediately came to take action, how funny and cruel? In the eyes of father, I am just a goblin, in the eyes of the fourth child and others, I am just a dead person, but in your eyes, I am still your brother."
"I vow to protect the love between our brothers. No matter what I do, no matter what the price, I will protect this relationship. Do you know, second brother, I have been with you since I was in the second year of Jiafeng?"
I began to prepare to escape, and fled with my troops, so I established the Shenfeng Third Battalion and the Shura Camp to prepare for escape. But I will not harm the big man, really not, I just want to wait until I lead the troops.
Create a piece of the world elsewhere, and continue to protect the brotherhood between us from afar, protect the big man, your big man!"
"Second brother, I come from another world. I haven't told anyone about this, nor you. Now I'm telling you, I've kept it from you for so long, you won't blame me, right?"
"I know you won't. I've hidden too many things from you. You never blamed me, right? Even if you wanted to drive me away in the end, you actually didn't blame me for the little things I did behind my back, right?"
"Second brother, you are only thirty-eight years old, only thirty-eight years old! If you are in better health, I promise, give me ten years, and I will help you build a big business! I also know that you must be thinking
Can you borrow another ten years from heaven? If you were given ten years, you would not make such a hasty decision. I remember we once agreed, I will fight, you will defend, and we brothers will create a prosperous age together.
!A prosperous age even more powerful than the prosperous Tang Dynasty!"
"Second brother, Liu Li is seven years old. You always think that he is very young, but actually... he is already sensible. When I entered the palace that day, he was such a small person, standing coldly in front of your window, cold and cold.
He looked at me and didn't allow me to get closer. He is very smart, but you, second brother, only taught him dark things. If I have anything to blame you for, it's only because you let Xiao Liuli watch it since he was a child.
There is too much darkness, I hope I can make him change."
"Don't worry, second brother, your big man is still your big man. I will try my best to assist Xiao Liuli. When he has the ability to make his own decisions and control this country, I believe I have fulfilled my oath to you.
, Second brother, if I can’t build a big country for you, I will build this country for Xiao Liuli. If...if he still wants to attack me, I still won’t sit back and die, but don’t worry, second brother
, I will never rob you of your kingdom. When the time comes, I may really leave the Han Dynasty and find a paradise to spend the rest of my life."
"As long as I am here for one day, I will keep this man safe!"
"As long as I am here, your descendants will be emperors for generations to come!"
"As long as I'm with you, the big man will be mighty and powerful!"
After draining the old wine from the flask, Liu Ling wiped away his tears and the wine from the corner of his mouth. He stood up and stared at the coffin that looked huge but was actually cold. He smiled with a sad look on his face.
"Second brother, it's time for me to go back. Today is the day when Xiao Liu Li ascends the throne, and I should go back to congratulate him."
He turned around and walked out of the tomb. Under the dim light of the fire, his shadow was dragged out, looking so lonely.
Just after leaving the imperial mausoleum, Liu Ling saw several imperial guards and a chamberlain standing outside the door, it was Xiao Liuzi. After seeing Liu Ling come out, Xiao Liuzi knelt down and kowtowed: "Kowtow to the regent Qiansui, Qiansui
, Thousands of years old!”
"Regent?"
Liu Ling was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly.
"Don't call me Chitose Chitose from now on. Just call me Prince. The words Regent are not auspicious words."
What he said was incomprehensible, and no one understood what he was talking about.
"The Regent... Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has summoned you. Your servant has been waiting here for a short time."
Xiao Liuzi knelt on the ground and said.
"Let's go into the palace."
Liu Ling waved her hands with a confident look on her face, as if she had never cried before. (To be continued)
