In the majestic palace, a furious Ji Lin wandered back and forth in the palace with his hands behind his back. This was about to happen, but something went wrong at the last moment.
After walking for a while, he waved his broad-sleeved robe vigorously with his left hand.
"Spread out the rest of the people. No matter what method you use, we must find that Anping girl before the enthronement ceremony!"
"The old slave obeys the order."
"Your Majesty, please calm down. This little thing won't delay you for long. As long as you are not blind, you can see that luck is on your side. On the contrary, it will be a big problem if you are so angry that your body is broken."
Hearing this, Ji Lin's face felt a little better, "By the way, is there no news about the Nestorian Erjiu?"
"The guards guarding the city gate said they saw this man entering the city, but no matter whether they were divination or calculations, they couldn't find where he was in the capital."
"Hmph! This person is really embarrassing and useless, that's all. Remember that he has done meritorious service before, and his merits and demerits are equal to each other. Let's reward him as an idle official."
After saying that, Ji Lin put his hands behind his back and prepared to go to the morning court. But when he was changing clothes, he suddenly changed his attention and walked towards the imperial temple.
This time he had no one to accompany him, but walked into the tomb alone. With the trembling sound of stones, the coffin pulled by Jiulong slowly opened.
"Father, I have done everything you asked me to do." Ji Lin looked straight at his father lying inside, without any attachment in his eyes.
"Okay...Okay! Hahaha, he is indeed the son I like." The old emperor, who was tightly entangled in the golden chain, laughed and said.
"The queen mother supported the eldest prince, so she was killed by me!" Ji Lin's words were interrupted by the emperor's voice.
"The Empress Dowager tried to rebel, but I also killed her. Father, this is what you taught me. Those who achieve great things can be killed even if they are married!"
The old emperor in the coffin paused for a while and then said again: "It's cruel enough. I didn't make a mistake."
This was obviously not the answer Ji Lin expected, and he angrily kicked over the tributes in front of the coffin.
"Why! Now that I will be the emperor soon, I will ask you why! Why do you want us brothers to kill each other!"
"I tell you! I am the emperor, and I will have the final say from now on. I will never let my children kill each other!"
"Hehehe..." The old emperor smiled. "Lin'er? Why do you think all the civil and military officials listen to us? They all respect us?"
"Because we are emperors!"
"Do you really think so? Do you really think that relying on the name of emperor can make military and Confucian scholars loyal to our officials without any second thoughts?"
"Even the imperial guards in the palace belong to them, so do you know why they don't dare to overthrow us and become emperor themselves?"
This question stopped Ji Lin. He had never thought about this question.
"Because they don't dare, because they don't dare to watch their own people killing each other, but our Ji family dares!!"
"When the Qi Dynasty collapsed and there was no leader, our Ji family was considered a big family. There were at least a few thousand, not to mention tens of thousands. For this throne, our son killed his mother, my father killed his grandson, and our brothers killed each other. Only the remaining ones were killed by force.
The next person is, and that person is our first emperor of the Liang Dynasty."
"That's why our Ji family can be a family for generations, and the rest of the cowards can only be used by our Ji family!"
Ji Lin took a few steps back in disbelief, obviously shocked by this answer.
After pausing for a few seconds, he said unwillingly: "Why! Why is it that our Ji family has to kill each other?"
"Because we are the emperor! The true dragon emperor! Only in this way can we carry the fate of the Liang Dynasty!"
As the old emperor roared, the heart-shaking dragon roar sounded from inside the coffin, and the dragon scales on Ji Lin's body rose up and disappeared one by one.
After a long time, the roar of the dragon gradually subsided, and the old emperor said with a hint of exhaustion in his voice: "Since you are about to ascend the throne, I will tell you that in fact, this world was not as peaceful as you thought."<
/p>
"In ancient times, people were raised by witches to eat, and they lived like pigs that eat dirt."
"But later, our ancestors didn't want to be pigs for generations, so they all escaped."
"It's not possible to escape. Sooner or later, they will find us, so we have to find a way to carve out a world to live in. Luck is what supports this world."
"But they won't give up. They always want to break up our world and let us continue to be pigs."
"The ancients came up with a way to take away part of the luck from the witches and let one person hold up the world. That person was the first emperor, no matter where he was, it would be the same."
Ji Lin was stunned on the spot, his mind was confused, and he couldn't understand what the other party was saying for a while.
"It's okay if you can't figure it out. After you ascend the throne, you have time to think about it. Remember, what I said is true. If someone tells you about the command of life or immortality in the future, they are all lies and they are all trying to deceive you.
Foolish people."
Ji Lin walked out in a daze, and sat on the steps of his palace and thought for a long time, always thinking about the darkness and the daytime.
If his father had not lied to him, then his descendants would kill each other just like him.
In order to support this so-called luck, the Ji family has really paid too much.
It's not like Ji Lin has never thought that if the emperor quits his job, someone else will take this fate.
But he had already sacrificed so much and killed so many brothers and sisters, and it was not easy for him to ascend to the throne.
I have paid the price, and I have gone through a lot of effort to survive to the end among these nine people. Now I am about to pick a peach. Because my children will kill each other in the future, I just give this peach to him.
Others? He can't do it.
When the old eunuch put the dragon robe on him, he suddenly woke up. "Your Majesty, come into the palace to rest. You will be exhausted."
Ji Lin nodded silently and turned towards his palace. He still thought of his father and his current appearance in his mind. "Dead people can be brought back to life. Doesn't that mean that the current father is immortal?"
?"
Ji Lin lay on the meat futon, thinking about these issues in a daze.
At this moment, he suddenly heard subtle footsteps, quickly approaching him.
"What?" Ji Lin, who was lying on the bed, asked with his eyes slightly closed.
"Your Majesty, Princess Anping's whereabouts were seen on the outskirts of Shangjing City, and she was taken away by Na Erjiu."
"What!!?" Ji Lin's eyes suddenly opened and he gritted his teeth and glared at the little eunuch who had tipped him off.
"It's him! I feel so deeply for him! He actually betrayed me for a woman!"
"Pass it on! Once caught, Na Erjiu will be executed by the nine tribes! Ling Chi will be executed! All the meat on his body will be fed to the dogs!!"
