"Ouch..."
The young dragon didn't know why, but he always felt that he had done something big, and he was moving happily away from the capital.
"Ouch..."
When they were far away, the young dragon seemed to be aware of something. He looked down and saw that the storm was still there, with rainwater connecting the sky and the earth, as if he was looking into someone's eyes.
The imperial robe was wide and thick, with twelve beaded curtains hanging from the forehead. Su Ziji looked away, and the beaded strings swayed slightly, making almost no sound.
The guards gathered around and set up defenses according to areas. They were all guards with weapons, halberds, bows and knives.
Su Ziji walked straight to the west pavilion. There was bright yellow gauze, and in the corridor and corridor, the maids and eunuchs all knelt down. They only glanced at it before entering.
Lu Fengyun, Wen Xunpeng, Jian Qu, and Cen Rubai, except Zeng Nian Zhenshang, who led the troops and bodyguards, were all there, bowing beside the screen to serve the three eunuchs Zhao Bingzhong, Yu Han, and Gao Ze.
"Finally a great achievement."
Looking at this force, Lu Fengyun felt that all the hard work was worth it... Just as he was thinking about it, he heard rustling and Su Ziji had already taken his seat.
Because he had been ventilated early, Lu Fengyun raised his voice to salute and said loudly: "The son of man is filial and sincere with all his heart and courtesy. However, the world cannot be without a king for a day, so the emperor mourns, replacing the sun with the moon, and wearing plain clothes for twenty-seven days." .”
"The Emperor Daxing is buried in a grand funeral, and a green hut is built in the palace. Starting tomorrow, the Emperor must fulfill the etiquette of a filial son and grandson. Although he can attend the funeral and manage the affairs, the Emperor cannot be busy all the time. There must be a regulation. Please give it to the Emperor!"
At this time, Su Ziji showed a tired look, leaned on the chair, and looked at Zhao Bingzhong: "What's wrong with you, Imperial City Department?"
"The Imperial City Secretary has three urgent matters to report to the Emperor!"
"First, the gate of Prince Shu's Mansion is closed and no one is dispatched!"
"Secondly, Prince Ninghe once led hundreds of people out of the mansion at night, but he did not intervene in the battle and returned to the mansion before dawn."
Zhao Bingzhong said expressionlessly, and a gust of cool wind blew in from the window. It was originally a very cool thing, but it made people shiver.
Wen Xunpeng had also been busy all night and had not slept yet. His eyes were bloodshot. At this time, he bowed slightly and said, "This is a sign of an eagle looking at a wolf and it should be punished."
Jian Qu had a different opinion and said: "Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and his priority is stability. Emperor Daxing has only three sons, and King Qi is dead. Isn't it a bit too much to ask the King of Shu and the King of Ninghe at the same time?"
As he spoke, he glanced at the three eunuchs Zhao Bingzhong, Yu Han, and Gao Ze.
Everyone knew what he meant. Compared with the King of Shu, the power of Prince Ninghe was already very small. If he had to choose one, the King of Shu would be the target.
Cen Rubai thought for a while and said, "However, such behavior must be dealt with. If you are too tolerant, you will be criticized."
"Hmm!" Su Ziji thought for a while and smiled: "Then how about demoting him to the second level and demoting him to Ninghe County Duke?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" There was no objection at all. They looked at Zhao Bingzhong, who bowed again: "Also, Emperor Daxing once ordered the capture of the former internal governor Ma Shunde, but he actually resisted and is now under siege."
"Huh!" Su Ziji didn't seem to care. Zhao Bingzhong sighed to himself. Once the situation of Ma Shunde, who was originally powerful, changed, he would be worse than a phoenix. Then he thought, there were footsteps outside, and someone shouted loudly to report.
Gao Ze, the most junior among the eunuchs, hurriedly bowed out and came in a moment later with a complicated look on his face: "Ma Shunde has been executed."
After a pause, he announced loudly: "There has been a sudden change in the Prince of Shu's Mansion. The Imperial City Department's secret line has been going on for a day and a night. The Prince of Shu has not been seen."
"Although there was no decree and the King of Shu could not come to court, he should have put on sackcloth and mourned, but no one was seen!"
In an instant, Su Ziji's eyes lit up, he stood up, wandered around twice, and smiled: "What a king of Shu, come here, let the king of Shu, Ninghe County...Gong, enter the palace to kowtow to the spirit of Emperor Daxing!" "
No matter how you avoid it, it is impossible for the King of Shu not to meet the spirit of Emperor Daxing. If the decree is conveyed, the King of Shu will not see him, so he will run away.
Su Ziji was stunned by the flash of lightning and immediately remembered something: "Also, pay attention to Yingguo's movements immediately!"
Cao Yiyan appeared in the capital and even encircled and suppressed him. Su Ziji immediately remembered
Yingguo.
"yes!"
The order to convey the will was passed quickly, but Su Ziji didn't have much worry. He had obtained the artifact, and the appearance of everyone in the middle and lower classes could be regarded as God's will, let alone himself?
"Let's discuss the arrangements for these twenty-one days again!"
"Although we keep our filial piety, our father's imperial title, the canonization of the queen and the empress dowager, and the titles of the empress dowager must all be promulgated."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a thunderous sound in the sky, with lingering sounds that lasted for a long time. The wind pushed open the windows, and the smell of rain immediately rushed into the room. Everyone looked and saw that most of the sky was covered by thick clouds again. The cracks in the clouds lit up and down, and from time to time there was the sound of rolling thunder.
"Hey, the thunderstorm is getting louder again!" Su Ziji said with a smile. As he talked and laughed, he looked like a dragon but not a dragon at first, but gradually turned into a real dragon.
But I was a little surprised. The young dragon had moved, so why was the sky still thundering?
I don’t know why, but I immediately thought of Zhou Yao.
"boom"
The thick black sky flashed, and the entire space was illuminated brightly, illuminating the desolate world below.
"Dragon Lord——"
An angry figure, with a tattered Taoist robe and a gray face, rose up from the water and stood in one place.
"How dare you get distracted!"
"You don't take me seriously at all!"
Xie Zhenqing raised his palms upward, intertwined his little and ring fingers, turned his hands together again, and a golden light appeared on his body.
Along with a thunderbolt that lit up the sky, the pitch-black sword shadow streaked across the sky, then circled in all directions, each standing still, and thick black oil gradually emerged.
"The resentment of all monsters, you and I will return together!"
"No one can escape!"
Xie Zhenqing seemed to be going crazy and screamed.
This black oil grew and spread, and in an instant it gathered into a swamp, covering all directions.
The girl wanted to do something, but she stopped still. She just sighed quietly and allowed the black oil to gush out and expand.
"This resentment and hatred are all caused by me. It's hard for you to bear it for me."
Xie Zhenqing snorted coldly, but did not answer. He just stood in the water.
Looking carefully, in the middle of the black water is a small beach, with crystal black sand and stones, and many gray-white skeletal hands protruding from below.
He was standing on a rock, with chains underneath, tied deeply to his feet and submerged into his flesh and blood.
"You should remember this."
Xie Zhenqing did not fight, but pointed downward.
"Hundreds of years have erased many traces, but I still deliberately keep it here, day and night, without daring to look at it."
On the black reef, there is also a line of handwriting engraved, which is beautiful and moving, shining with precious light.
"Neither turn back, why did not forget.
Since there is no fate, why make an oath?
Today, all kinds of things are like water without trace.
Tomorrow and evening, you are no longer a stranger to each other - Ao Wangxi. "
"Ao Wangxi..."
Her eyes lingered here, especially when she signed the name, and many familiar emotions were rolling and stirring. She lowered her head and said nothing. Along with these memories, there were many indescribable and unexplained... that came back together.
"I not only want to unify the world, but I also want to enshrine the gods and rectify the people's hearts. The so-called major affairs of the country are sacrifice and military affairs. Some ghosts, gods and religions that are in conflict with me must be eliminated."
"I will let you jump over the dragon gate and become a real dragon, and be the prime minister of the world's water affairs. I heard that the surname of the dragon city is Ao. Then you can also be surnamed Ao."
She accompanied the emperor to many places, whether in the water or the sea, in the mountains and plains, or even in the endless grasslands.
Those days seem to be in the past, but I want to reach out my hand, but I can't grasp it.
