"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has sent you a plate of mung bean cake, which is your favorite."
Ningyuan Hall is where the emperor conducts official business.
A maidservant lowered her head and held a plate of delicate emerald green pastries in her hand.
"Put it on the table, I'll eat it later."
"Your Majesty, you'd better eat now, otherwise the Queen Mother will be unhappy." The maid's tone was slightly tough.
Lin Xu suddenly raised his head, revealing a handsome and delicate face, he looked about sixteen or seventeen years old.
After hearing the maid's words, his hand holding the pen involuntarily exerted force, but in the end he was unable to let go.
Just pick up a piece of mung bean cake and eat it.
The maid then gave up, put the remaining cakes on the table and exited.
When she left, Lin Xu threw the pen in his hand to the ground, and the penholder made of white jade immediately shattered into pieces.
"Made, when will this day end?"
Lin Xu sat slumped on the dragon chair, the beaded curtain hanging above his head swinging violently with anger.
The cheeks that should have been fair turned red with anger.
Fifteen years ago, he traveled through time.
Become the emperor of Qianwu Kingdom.
Logically speaking, he is the emperor, no matter how bad he is, he can't be any worse. But when he first traveled through time, he was only one year old.
The results can be imagined.
To this day, Lin Xu has been a puppet for fifteen years.
Even a small plate of mung bean cake was controlled.
Not to mention others.
No one can be trusted in this deep palace.
This was the case outside the palace. There were many party members in the court, led by Zhen Guo Gong Xue Rong and Wu Guo Gong Mu Jiushan.
The Duke of Zhen Guo, the leader of civil servants in the world.
Duke Wu is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses.
These two people controlled the entire court. Even though Lin Xu went to court every day, he was more of a mascot.
Xue Rong and Mu Jiushan were at odds, and they needed him as a puppet to buffer them. Otherwise, the world would be in chaos, and they would not get any benefits.
Queen Mother Xue Jingruo, as you can tell by her name, she is from the Xue family. She is the daughter of Xue Rong. She worked hard to become the queen before the death of the late emperor, and adopted the young Lin Xu.
After the death of the late emperor, Xue Jingruo became the queen mother in a grand manner and became the only person in power in this deep palace.
With Xue Rong's power in power and the help of the Queen Mother, even Mu Jiushan, who was in charge of the world's troops, was a little afraid and did not dare to fight head-on.
Lin Xu, the mascot, was born under such circumstances.
As for Lin Xu's mother and concubine, he has never seen her, but a fool can guess that even the royal family has been ignored, how can his mother and concubine be safe?
The Xue family would not allow it.
It was not that Lin Xu had never thought about imitating those time-travelers in his previous life, waking up to take control of the world, and lying drunk on the lap of a beautiful woman.
But he is not a special soldier, he is not a businessman, and he is not a famous medical professor...
There isn't even anyone available.
How can you beat those old guys who are proficient in calculations?
Even if the emperor is useless, there are two or three loyal eunuchs on horseback, so at least the palace is safe.
And he.
Someone looked at me face to face when I went to the toilet.
Xue Jingruo arranged what she eats every day.
Even the ants passing by the door were pulled in for questioning.
He is said to be an emperor, but he is just like a puppet on strings.
【Ding...】
[The recruitment system is bound successfully! 】
[Congratulations to the host, you have received a gift package for newbies. Do you want to open it? 】
"Huh? System?" Lin Xu was stunned for a moment, then excited and overjoyed: "Atong, you are finally here."
"Without you, do you know how I lived these fifteen years?"
"Can you understand what it feels like to be stared at by dozens of pairs of eyes when you go to the toilet?"
"Can you understand the pain of eating white rice for a month because someone else is fasting?"
"Can you feel..."
[Choose one from Jinyiwei template, Dongchang template, or Yulinjun template, don’t say anything. 】
"???"
Listening to the system's cold words, Lin Xu showed a resentful expression: "Can't you choose them all?"
【Don’t forget it! ! 】
"Yes, who said I don't want it? I want Dongchang."
Although the Jinyiwei and Yulinjun are good, he is in a deep palace, and both of them are inconvenient.
For the sake of life, it is better to go to Dongchang.
[The Dongchang template is loaded successfully. The host can recruit two Dongchang members for free every day, or he can actively recruit them by spending silver. 】
Lin Xu's eyes lit up, that's great, just spend money. Although he had no freedom during these years of being a puppet, the Xue family and the Mu family sent money every now and then in order to appease him.
After all, for them, there is only money and no threat.
Because even if you have money, you have nowhere to spend it.
However, he did not recruit for the time being, but asked: "Atong, how to obtain the template?"
[A template is automatically loaded every week, and you can also spend some silver to open it in advance! 】
[One hundred million taels of silver for each template. 】
"Damn it, is it so expensive?"
Over the years, he had saved tens of millions of taels. He thought he was rich enough, but he didn't expect that he couldn't afford a single template.
"Wait a minute, one template every week, what about the one just now?"
[Yes, it’s this week’s template. 】
"Damn, isn't that compensation for me?"
[When did I say compensation? 】
"???"
Lin Xu was like a resentful woman in a deep harem, and said in a resentful tone: "Atong, after all, I am also your host, how could you treat me like this?"
[Although you are the host, I have professional ethics and cannot break the rules. 】
"You can't just imitate other people's methods and just put things in your mouth. Looking at you again, don't you feel that you are a little unhuman?"
[I am the system, I don’t have any feelings. I am a recruitment system, Qingfeng Gaojie, not a "dog-licking" system. 】
Lin Xu's mouth twitched and said: "Then give me some money! Just think of it as a meeting gift for me. You have such a big system, you can't be short of this little money!"
[Congratulations to the host, you got 10 copper plates. (Privately sponsored by this system)]
"???"
"Am I only worth 10 copper coins?"
"That old guy Xue Rong is not that stingy."
Lin Xu complained speechlessly, but unfortunately the system stopped talking and did not appear no matter how he called.
"Open the novice gift package."
Little thing, it’s up to you whether you want to say it or not.
The future is long, if I can cheat you 10 copper coins today, I can cheat you 1 billion gold tomorrow.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, but once you get started, the difficulty is reduced by half.
【...】
[Congratulations to the host for opening the novice gift pack. You can choose one of Cao Zhengchun, Cheng Yaojin, and Ji Xiaolan to be loyal to you. 】
[Acquire the strength of a great master! 】
[Three thousand basic recruitment unit quotas. 】
[Anyone summoned by the system is 100% loyal to the host]
Seeing the reward, Lin Xu was so excited that he almost jumped up. It really comes to whatever you want.
"I choose Cao Zhengchun!"
"All three thousand basic recruitment units recruit Dongchang personnel."
Dongchang already had them, so Lin Xu naturally chose Cao Zhengchun, the owner of Dongchang.
[Recruitment is successful. Cao Zhengchun has arrived with three thousand factory guards. Please wait patiently. 】
"Receive the power of the Grand Master!"
Martial arts in the world are divided into third-rate, second-rate, first-rate, innate, master, great master and land gods.
As long as he doesn't encounter land gods, the Grand Master is already the strongest.
However, even land gods have to suffer in the face of thousands of elites.
This world has force values, but they are not exaggerated.
At most it is similar to martial arts in previous lives.
Waves of heat flowed from his body to his limbs. If Lin Xu took off his clothes, he would find that the muscles on his body were filling up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The originally loose dragon robe became tight.
The figure is even more than ten centimeters taller.
Lin Xu was originally around 170, but now it is over 180, and the soles of his feet are painfully squeezed by the shoes.
He could only take it off by force.
Lin Xu clenched his fists, feeling the power rushing inside his body, and smiled.
With this power, there is no need to worry about life safety. After all, land gods are not Chinese cabbage.
What's more, he is the emperor, so he doesn't need to do it himself under normal circumstances.
