eldest princess mansion
The two sighed with emotion and walked through the corridor. There was just a sudden movement of the plum blossoms, which seemed to contain a message. When Pei Ziyun saw the eldest princess walking forward silently and did not speak for a while, he calmed down and shouted: "System!"
A plum appeared in front of me, and it quickly enlarged into a translucent data frame, floating in the field of vision with a faint sense of light, and the data appeared in front of my eyes.
"The selection of the coordinates of the lower world is completed - the Battle of Troy!"
"As Paris, survive the Trojan War and get the golden apple."
"The next world is the Trojan War?"
Pei Ziyun couldn't help being surprised and had to take a closer look. The two of them had entered along the stone bridge and approached the inner courtyard. They heard the faint sound of sheng, Xiao, Qin and Se, singing.
"Heaven and earth are like the reverse journey of all things; time is like the passers-by of hundreds of generations. And life is like a dream, how much joy is there? The ancients held candles and traveled at night, which was a good thing..."
The eldest princess walked to the foot of the tree to listen to the music. The chant came through the night. Neither of them spoke. It was not until the song ended and the lingering sounds were gone that they came back to their senses. The eldest princess said: "My daughter used to She practiced the piano every day, and the queen specially selected twelve new maids to reward them, saying that she would learn from them."
"Half of them went with us, and the other half are in the house. It just serves as a training class."
Pei Ziyun smiled and before he could speak, he heard a noise in the distance. The two were startled when they saw someone hurriedly come in and said, "Eldest Princess, True Lord, Your Majesty has a decree. It is the new palace eunuch, Eunuch Gu, who has brought it."
"So fast?" Pei Ziyun was also startled. King Shun suddenly ascended the throne and couldn't wait for Eunuch Gu to come over with the imperial edict. Is this impatient or what
He turned around and smiled: "Eldest Princess, accept the order!"
The eldest princess nodded slightly. It was said that in the house of the rich and powerful, the incense table was a permanent fixture, so she put it out. However, she saw Eunuch Gu holding the edict covered with yellow silk in his hands and solemnly walking to the top of the incense table, standing facing the south, and bowing slightly to Pei Ziyun. , said in his mouth: "Master Dao, I am here to issue the imperial edict according to the emperor's decree."
Pei Ziyun nodded slightly and saw Eunuch Gu shout loudly: "The imperial edict has arrived, everyone accept it!"
Everyone knelt down in front of the incense table. Only Pei Ziyun stood and watched quietly. Eunuch Gu did not rush him, but slowly opened an imperial edict and said loudly: "The edict says: Emperor Qitai is seriously ill, but he has been thinking with all his strength. After the Second Great Rebellion, I was overjoyed and wounded when I heard that the King's Master had returned triumphantly. He finally had no way to recover and died in the Xuanwu Hall. However, he was concerned that the prince was young and might not be able to shoulder the weight of the temple, so he passed it on to me. I am grateful to Emperor Qitai for his meritorious service. In Sheji, the temple was named Taizong, and his son was given the title of King Xiao, and he honored him."
Without waiting for everyone's reaction, Eunuch Gu took out the second imperial edict and said loudly: "The edict says: Li Pan and Huang Yuanzhen were appointed imperial envoys to help the true king. However, they were deceived by the evil method and helped Zhou to abuse and help King Lu. Fortunately, the true king was in time. I saw through and killed the two men on the spot. It is a great blessing for the country. I am grateful to the true king for saving the overall situation for the second time and for his contribution to the country. According to the late emperor's imperial edict, I gave him the title of Taoist Lord. I also granted his son the title of Liujinbo and a fief on Liujin Island. , and I will grant you an iron bond, which will be hereditary and will not replace you, so as to inherit this kindness and appreciate this."
Eunuch Gu quickly took out the third edict and continued to read: "The edict says: The world has been settled. Although there have been many twists and turns, what's the point of the disease? I see that the people in the world have been looking forward to peace for a long time. Next year is determined The name of the year is Taiping, which will surely create peace for all generations. I am now offering amnesty to the world to express my will. I admire this."
After the three edicts were read out, everyone in the audience kowtowed in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live my emperor."
After announcing the imperial edict, Eunuch Gu said with an apologetic smile on his face, "Zhenjun, this is an iron ticket, please accept it."
With that said, the golden plate was handed over along with the imperial edict.
Pei Ziyun secretly sighed, these three imperial edicts were very structured. First, it was explained that Emperor Qitai died of a serious illness, and the edict was passed to King Shun. Then the new emperor immediately named the temple, named Xiao Wang, and confirmed the name. point.
The second is to please yourself. Emperor Qitai's grant was secret, but now it is public. He also granted his son the title of earl, a fief on Liujin Island, and the grant of iron certificates, which are hereditary. This is very high. Glory.
As for the end, the title of Taiping and the amnesty for the world also showed the emperor's ambition and catered to the wishes of the world, but every detail was so-called.
When I took the iron coupon and looked at it, I saw that the quality was like new, the thickness was uniform, the periphery was neat, the inlay was fine, and the golden words on the coupon were written brightly.
Zhi said: The ministers regard loyalty as a virtue, and the masters regard praise as a wise act. This is the universal meaning of ancient and modern times. Pei Ziyun, the true king of Qining, said that he had accomplished great feats in destroying demons and benefiting the people, which was rare in ancient times and modern times. He could not praise him enough by giving him a title, so he specially made his son Liu Jinbo, with a salary of one thousand dan. I swear to you: Except for treason, I will not forgive you, and I will not be hereditary. If you commit a capital crime, I will spare you three death sentences, or you will be punished by regular punishment. I will not be punished by the judge. In order to inherit this kindness, I will live forever!
There is no hereditary inheritance without iron coupons. The golden energy lingers on this mere iron coupon. Pei Ziyun was silent and bowed: "In this case, I owe more to the emperor's favor."
Eunuch Gu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, his smile became much more sincere, and he shouted: "Bring me up."
Following the order, the armored soldiers escorted some people over like wolves and tigers. These people still refused to kneel. The armored soldiers couldn't help but hold them down and kicked them hard in the knees, causing them to kneel on the ground.
Pei Ziyun looked over and saw among the kneeling people: Li Quanzhen, Xia Wei, Gao Guang, Feng Min and others. These were the most vicious people in the court who clamored to suppress Pei Ziyun.
After King Shun ascended the throne, in addition to some necessary rewards, the most important thing was to immediately send people to deal with those who dealt with Pei Ziyun. The people escorted here with Eunuch Gu were only the group that caused the most ferocity and the most influence. As for the shrimps below , the emperor dealt with it directly.
The emperor could also take advantage of Pei Ziyun's east wind to eliminate dissidents and install his own people in the court as soon as possible to stabilize his position.
Pei Ziyun knew this very well and was happy to see it happen.
Pei Ziyun looked at the prisoner who continued to kneel on the ground. He was silent for a long time and then said, "What does the emperor mean?"
When Emperor Qitai was on the throne, these people were in the limelight for a while, but now they are all reduced to prisoners of the rank and file, with life, death, misfortune, and fortune all controlled by one person. It is really unpredictable and fate is unpredictable.
Eunuch Gu was slightly surprised, but he still bowed and replied: "These people are slandering your Majesty, and there is nothing more insane than this. Your Majesty is very angry and wants to kill these three clans of people."
Pei Ziyun secretly sighed. In terms of his true nature, he didn't want to harm his family or innocent people. It is said that one person should do everything, but the rules here have always been like this. If one person is guilty, the whole family can easily be implicated. Concentrate After thinking about it, he casually pointed at these people: "Send these people to death, and all their family members, descendants, and the three clans will be sent to Liujin Island as slaves."
"Master Dao is really kind." Eunuch Gu said sincerely. He was sincere. In his opinion, these people were the minions who dealt with Master Dao in the first place. His Majesty did not punish the nine tribes, which was an act of mercy beyond the law. Unexpectedly, Master Dao was just Exile, whatever, count them lucky.
As soon as Eunuch Gu waved his hand, someone brought poisoned wine.
It was a black wood lacquer plate with two pots of wine and several wine glasses. At this time, there were more than 20 people around, all of them were scared and pale, even the eldest princess was slightly pale.
The eunuch carried it over and said: "I will wait for you all to ascend to heaven..."
Li Quanzhen and Xia Wei saw the eunuch bringing wine in and knew that their death was not far away. They trembled, but stood up stubbornly and stared at Pei Ziyun.
"Pei Zhenjun, please forgive my descendants and the three clans. I appreciate your love. It's just that I don't recognize you because of the great right and wrong - you are still a traitor to the country."
"Thunder, rain, and dew are all the favor of the king. The king ordered the minister to die, and the minister had to die, but the minister was unwilling to accept this favor - Taizu, Taizong, I am here."
With that said, the two of them hit the stone pillar at the same time.
"Bang." There was a muffled sound, and blood splashed everywhere after the impact, showing that they had really exerted their utmost strength. Then, the two bodies slid down softly and made no sound.
The coroner went up and rolled his eyes, pricked again with a needle, stood up and shook his head to indicate that he was done.
Seeing this scene, Eunuch Gu's heart was pounding, cold sweat oozed out, and it was so sticky that he felt uncomfortable, but he still raised his eyebrows, sneered ferociously, and said: "To poison them with poison and wine, the court also hopes that they have worked hard for many years and achieved great results, otherwise If so, it would be death by knife or hanging."
"It's really easy for these two people, but they still don't appreciate it - don't make it difficult for our family."
Gao Guang's legs were trembling, but he did not beg for mercy. He only said: "I am just a servant of the emperor. I act on mission, but I have no regrets."
As he spoke, he took a sip of wine, and for a moment he was writhing in pain on the ground without making any sound. After a while, there was no sound either.
Eunuch Gu narrowed his eyes slightly and kept nodding, showing that he was very satisfied with the poisonous wine.
The only person left present was Feng Min. After only one day, he was already disheveled and haggard. He looked at Pei Ziyun and said slowly: "I have been friends with Lord Dao for a long time. I thank Lord Dao for your forgiveness of my three clans. At this moment, I have a heartless request, and Lord Wanwang Dao agrees."
As he spoke, he lowered his body and saluted Pei Ziyun.
Pei Ziyun was filled with emotion. If he hadn't won, all this would have happened to his mother, wife and children. He said lightly: "You tell me."
"Master Dao, Li Zhengyuan is loyal to the court and talented. He can succeed Dao Lu Division."
Pei Ziyun sighed and said, "You are a fool. It doesn't matter if I agree to this request, it still depends on the emperor."
This was actually agreed. Feng Min bowed deeply, straightened his crown, and drank the wine in one gulp. Within a moment, he groaned, blood flowed from his orifices, and he died on the spot.
I remember how high-spirited Feng Min was when he presided over the Daolu Department. There was no one in the court who didn't sell his face, but now he is still dead.
Pei Ziyun was disappointed, seeing that all the prisoners were dead, he took out a folding book from his arms, handed it to Eunuch Gu, and said: "Taoist people attach great importance to purity. I want to sail overseas. I hope the emperor will approve it, so I am grateful - please return it." Father-in-law, please fold it for me."
Eunuch Gu took the folded watch, bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Mr. Dao."
Although this is just a formality, it shows support for the emperor. This is a great support for the fifteen-year-old emperor who has just ascended the throne and helps to quickly stabilize the throne. Moreover, this statement also shows that Pei Ziyun has great support for the emperor. The imperial power has no intention of coveting him.
The fifteen-year-old Taiping Emperor has things in order and is well-organized. He has the temperament of a king. After a period of experience and taking power, I believe that the country of Xu will be truly stable, and the world will soon usher in peace. If this is the case, why not go with the flow?
"With this discount, we can repay the obligation of reporting the news that day." Pei Ziyun thought secretly. Seeing that everything was settled, he was eager to find a clean place to check the specific information. He said at the moment: "This place is not clean. I'm going to get some air."
With that said, he turned and left.
There will be one more chapter soon. This volume is over and will move to the next volume tomorrow.
