The little emperor Liu Li is studying, and he seems to be studying very seriously. This child, who is so smart that it makes people a little scared, always shows a worrying maturity. Perhaps, this is just a manifestation of his childishness.
When Chen Ziyu saw him, he was quietly flipping through a book called Spring and Autumn which he could not fully understand at his age.
"Who are you? Why don't you kneel down when you see me?"
The little emperor, who was already as tall as Chen Ziyu's shoulders, frowned and asked coldly. He was a little angry. First, because this beautiful-looking woman didn't know her dignity. Second, because this woman didn't understand the rules and broke them.
His mood while reading. Third, he doesn't like strangers appearing in front of him casually. Because of this, he will feel very unsafe.
"Where have all the guards gone? Are they all dead? When did this palace become a busy place and can anyone come in if they want?"
He had a sullen face, trying to show a majestic aura. But he was disappointed to find that this beautiful woman who seemed to be able to bring trouble to all living beings was not interested in his majesty. And those imperial guards did not know what they were hiding behind.
The place has gone. The little emperor Liu Li thought for a while and then understood. In the Han Dynasty, there were only two kinds of people who could appear in front of him at will. One was the person of his mother, Su Jianli, and the other was
His uncle Liu Ling, whom he disliked. Obviously, he was extremely repulsive to the latter.
"Get out!"
He was almost roaring.
Chen Ziyu ignored this little lunatic and sat down on a chair naturally. He looked at the little emperor with a very unhappy face and listened to his roar.
"How dare you sit in front of me? Who told you to sit down! Someone! Get this woman out of here! Take her to the palace gate and chop her down!"
The little emperor slammed the table and stood up, roaring angrily. But he was only eight years old, and his roaring tone was still childish.
Chen Ziyu sighed and said: "My Majesty, it seems that you are not as smart as the legend says!"
The little emperor was stunned for a moment, looked at Chen Ziyu coldly and asked coldly: "Who are you? What do you want to do? Even if I am banned here by my mother, you should understand that this big man is still mine.
Big man!"
Chen Ziyu said leisurely: "This big man is indeed your Majesty's big man. No one denies this. Your Majesty does not need to emphasize it. If one day this big man is no longer your Majesty's big man, then we can only say that it was your Majesty who forced him to leave.
That seat."
She spread her hands and imitated Liu Ling's movements: "Unfortunately, judging from His Majesty's current performance, that day seems not far away."
"What on earth are you here for?"
The little emperor asked sharply.
Chen Ziyu raised his beautiful eyebrows and raised the corners of his mouth in a touching arc: "Let me tell you a story."
She smiled, looked at the somewhat surprised little emperor and said: "Once upon a time, there was a very powerful country. The emperor was a very wise monarch, and his civil and military skills were as good as those of a wise king rarely seen in a century. When this emperor was alive, he was very kind to him.
Internally, he developed agriculture and commerce, so that the national treasury became more abundant year by year, and the people became richer and richer year by year. Externally, he expanded his territory, defeated enemies one after another, and destroyed all countries that opposed him and hostile to him."
"This emperor had more than a dozen sons, each of whom was very outstanding. Therefore, as the emperor gradually aged, he was very conflicted because he did not know which son to choose as his successor. Finally, it was not until his death that he decided
The candidate for the new emperor was his fourth son. However, his other son, Lao Ba, had accumulated enough power to control the army, the civil and military affairs of the dynasty, and had made plans to become the new emperor once he ascended the throne.
The emperor is not Lao Ba himself, so no matter who ascends the throne, the army will break into the palace and kill, and then elect Lao Ba as emperor."
"The fourth brother knew that he was unable to compete with his eighth brother, so he resolutely refused to inherit the throne and gave up the throne to the eighth brother. He also fully assisted the eighth brother in ascending the throne, and devoted himself to stabilizing the country for the eighth brother. Finally, he spent ten
Years later, Lao Ba completely trusted him. So, after he controlled all the civil and military officials in the court and the army, he resolutely launched a coup, killed Lao Ba, and then ascended the throne as emperor, finally becoming the emperor.
He has created a great monarch who is not inferior to his father."
Without waiting for the little emperor to speak, Chen Ziyu continued: "There is another story. It talks about the same powerful country and the same sage emperor. The only difference is that he determined his successor very early. Because
He had only one son at that time, who was just eight years old. The emperor was seriously ill, and before his death, he appointed several very capable ministers as Gu Ming ministers to assist his eight-year-old son in ascending the throne. But what the emperor did not expect was that Gu Ming, whom he accepted his fate, would
One of the ministers was so ambitious that he firmly grasped the military power in just one year."
"This minister is arrogant and domineering, and he doesn't take the little emperor seriously at all. He comes and goes like an emperor, and he has more women than the emperor. He controls the life and death of all civil and military officials, and can destroy him with just one sentence
A big family with a long history was lost. The minister had always wanted to abolish the little emperor and become the emperor himself, but he was hesitant. The eight-year-old little emperor also understood the minister's ambition, but he did not have the strength to compete with the minister, so he
He acted cowardly and playful on purpose."
"He spent four years quietly training a group of dead soldiers. Finally, when he was twelve years old, he seized an opportunity. He sent dead soldiers in the palace to kill the minister who cared about his life in one fell swoop.
, thus taking charge personally and regaining the emperor's rights bit by bit in his own hands, and in the end, he became a wise and upright king."
After listening to these two stories, the little emperor Liu Li's eyes became extraordinarily bright. He couldn't hold back his excitement, walked a few steps to Chen Ziyu and said: "You... you are here to teach me.
What? The story you told is very good, you showed weakness to the enemy, and then accumulated more and more, and succeeded in one fell swoop! Thank you! No matter who you are, I want to thank you! You taught me a truth, a big truth! "
Chen Ziyu glanced pitifully at the childish little emperor in front of him, and said quietly: "My Majesty, you are wrong."
She looked at the hopeful face of the little emperor Liu Li and said, "I'm not here to teach you, but I want to tell you, my Majesty, you will never have the same chance as the protagonist in the story."
Looking at the suddenly stunned little emperor, Chen Ziyu said word by word: "I will kill people tomorrow, kill a few people who are very important to His Majesty the Emperor. They are the people His Majesty the Emperor relies on most this year. They
They are all people with some status in the court."
She paused and said: "These people, as long as they stay safe, they will have a bright future. Even if they cannot be granted the title of marquis or prime minister, they still have a chance to be granted the title of wife and yinzi in the future. But they will die tomorrow. Unfortunately, my
Your Majesty, it was you who forced them to die step by step. Your Majesty, I just want to tell you that because of your recklessness, many lives will be lost."
Chen Ziyu stood up and found that the seemingly smart little emperor had tears streaming down his face.
"Don't kill them, it's my fault. I beg you, please stop killing people."
The little emperor cried and begged as he walked forward, trying to get closer to Chen Ziyu to get his mercy. However, Chen Ziyu's cold words made him freeze on the spot.
"Put away your pretense of pity, my lord, the dagger hidden in your sleeve can't kill me, and even if you kill me, so what? If you are really smart enough, I won't be able to kill you."
There is no need to tell you those two stories. Of course, there is no need for your queen mother to try every means to save you."
The little emperor's face turned pale, and with a bang, the poisoned dagger in his sleeve fell to the ground, making a sharp sound.
Chen Ziyu sighed and said: "Don't worry, you will continue to be your emperor. Because he doesn't want to kill you, and I don't want to make him angry, so you can only live, although this is not what I want.
The result. But please remember one thing, my Majesty, if you still want to have a plot, you must remember the two stories I just told you. Otherwise, although I can’t kill you, I can’t kill you.
Can you kill all the people who are preparing to help you one after another? Maybe, including your mother?"
With a plop, the little emperor Liu Li could no longer stand and collapsed on the ground. He was like a deflated ball. He had become so depressed at such a young age.
"By the way, your Majesty, Pei Hao is dead."
After saying that, Chen Ziyu turned around and left the study, where the Queen Mother Su Jianli kept her son under house arrest. The little emperor Liu Li looked at Chen Ziyu Tingting's retreating back, suddenly stood up and rushed out crazily.
Go. However, I don’t know when, the Ouchi guards who were supposed to be on duty at the door of the study disappeared, replaced by a row of supervisory guards in black uniforms.
At this time, Zhao Dazheng was sitting in a wheelchair, chatting and laughing with Queen Mother Su Jianli.
Early on the next morning, when the adults who had gone to court arrived at the palace gate, they suddenly found a dozen people they were familiar with and officials in the same dynasty kneeling at the palace gate with their hands tied. There were two rows of murderous black men.
The clothing supervisory guards stood behind them with sharp swords in their hands, staring directly at the necks of those people with their cold eyes. Following the order of a supervisory guard leader, the cold-blooded supervisory guards swung their swords to see more than a dozen of them.
The bloody heads fell to the ground, and more than a dozen blood fountains gushed out, decorating the outside of the palace gate with a particularly bloody and terrifying look.
Then, the expressionless supervisory guards carried the corpses onto a carriage, and the headless corpses were thrown on the carriage like piles of bags and taken away. The blood flowed down the carriage, dotting the blue stone road.
The plum blossoms bloomed all the way. Then, countless little eunuchs rushed out from the palace with buckets and began to clean the streets. Under the gaze of the adults, soon, the rescuers in front of the palace gate were cleaned up, and no more
Not a drop of blood could be seen. It was as if no murder had ever happened here.
The palace gate still looks grand and solemn, but starting from this day, when the adults who went to court passed by here, fear would spread uncontrollably in everyone's heart. It would flow through their blood and throughout their bodies. (Unfinished)
