Yun'er nodded doubtfully and said, "Yes, young master, this is the palace. When the young master comes of age and is crowned, he can open a palace and move out of the palace to live. That will be much freer."
At this moment, he finally knew the identity of this body. It should be that the real prince had not escaped. Before, he thought he was the son of a certain official family!
In the pre-Qin era, the descendants of princes were generally called Gongzi so-and-so, and the grandsons were called Gongsun so-and-so. Gongsun gradually evolved into a surname, and only the descendants of the King of Zhou, who were the co-owners of the world, were called princes.
For example, Duke Huan of Qi, one of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, was called Young Master Xiaobai before he inherited the throne. If he was awarded a title for his merits before inheriting the throne, he would call him a certain Lord, such as the four Young Masters of the Warring States Period, Lord Chun Shen, Lord Xinling, and Lord Mengchang. etc.
Liu Jie thought about this and understood. It made sense. The era he was living in now was probably the Warring States era when hundreds of flowers bloomed in this other world, and only the descendants of princes and kings would be called sons.
To take a step back, even if he, Liu, cannot inherit the throne, he can still make a difference like the fourth prince of the Warring States Period. If he cannot survive at home, he can seek political asylum abroad.
Unlike the unified dynasties of later generations, except for the prince and crown prince, the rest of the princes, princes and grandchildren are basically raised like pigs. Once the prince successfully succeeds to the throne, they will be slaughtered depending on their mood.
Liu Jie asked Yun'er, "What is the name of our country now? How many princes are there in the world now?"
Zeng Yun tilted her head and said, "Our country is called Da Jin. There have been no princes in the world for a long time. The world was already unified when I was born. I was born in the Yue Kingdom. I am a native Yue. After the Yue Kingdom fell, counties were established." The county was renamed Yue County. Today, the Holy Emperor comes to the throne and his martial arts are unparalleled. He defeated all the princes in the world as early as twelve years ago..."
When Liu Jie heard this, his smile suddenly began to solidify, and he cursed in his heart, "Why the hell didn't you rush..."
The country's name is Jin? It seems that when I have time, I have to make up for the history of this other world. The country that unified the world is actually the Jin Dynasty?
Thinking about it, in his original time and space, if the Jin Dynasty did not split into Jin Dynasty later, the one most likely to end the Warring States Period and unify the world could only be the Jin Kingdom, and the Qin Kingdom was not even ranked.
Liu Jie retracted his thoughts and asked with the last glimmer of hope, "Who is the prince Yun'er now?"
Hearing this, a divine light flashed in Yun'er's beautiful eyes and she said, "Oh Prince, the Prince is your fourth brother. His name is Mu Bai. The Prince has extraordinary appearance, a jade tree facing the wind, gentle and elegant, and is the dream lover of almost all the noble ladies in the capital. , was the first of the four young men in the capital before he was appointed as the crown prince. Alas! What a pity! He has already married the granddaughter of Prime Minister Cui as his official wife, and all the official ladies in the capital are almost dying of jealousy..."
It was obvious that when Zeng Yun talked about the prince, she even raised her pitch several times, looking like a nymphomaniac.
Liu Jie was speechless when he saw Yun'er's nymphomaniac expression. When he mentioned the prince, he was like a star-struck fan...
Zeng Yun also suddenly realized that she had lost her composure, and quickly said, "Master, I have lost my composure. Please punish me."
At this moment, Liu Jie suddenly remembered that his first love girlfriend Xiaofang in his previous life was also a star chaser. When he saw his idol's crazy nymphomaniacal behavior, he was completely speechless at the time. Liu Jie really couldn't understand their crazy star chasers. What is the clan for?
She chases her star, while Liu Jie tinkers with his motorcycle. The two of them have never been in conflict with each other, and it does not affect their relationship. Sometimes, Xiaofang even forces her to make love to her sissy pretty boy. Bean cheers.
Now that he saw Yun'er like this, Liu Jie felt that she was quite cute. He seemed to be able to feel a trace of humanity in her body within this cold palace wall.
When Liu Jie recalled his past life, a trace of sadness flowed through his heart, and a trace of tears slid down his face inadvertently.
He sighed, waved his hands, and said, "It doesn't matter."
He finally understood now that after crossing the Naihe Bridge, one must drink the Meng Po soup that forgets one's feelings. The memory of the previous life will only make one live in regret and pain. Forgetting the past and starting over is the real responsibility for this life. Responsible attitude.
Liu Jie asked, "Yun'er, how many children does the Holy Emperor have today?"
Some basic information about his current identity still needs to be collected.
Zeng Yun said, "Young Master, the Holy Emperor has twenty-seven children now. Among the adult children, the eldest prince, the second prince died young, the third prince, Young Master Kang, is the eldest son of the current Holy Emperor, the fourth prince, Young Master Bai, is the current Crown Prince, the fifth prince, Su, and the seventh prince. Zhe, the ninth prince Xiu, the twelfth prince Zhuo...the eldest princess Yueyang, the princess Changle, the princess Gaoyang...and your biological sister Princess Qinghe who was married three years ago...the fourteenth prince Mu Sheng is Sir, you."
When Liu Jie heard this, he thought! Ranked fourteenth? He shook his head, noncommittal.
In the Qin and Han Dynasties, the inheritance system was basically the eldest son. Although it is not clear why the prince was not the third prince, Gongzi Kang, but the fourth prince, Gongzi Bai. It may be that the emperor chose to abolish the eldest son and establish the virtuous.
Liu Jie thought that if he was ranked so low, he would be completely insulated from the throne. Unless all the princes in front of him fell into disgrace, it would be Liu Jie's turn to inherit the throne. The probability of such an event happening is higher than winning the lottery. Still low.
He thought about his name in this world, Mu Sheng, Gongzi Sheng. This name sounded pretty good.
Princes and grandsons like them who are destined to miss the throne can only be raised like pigs throughout their lives, which is worse than the children of officials.
At the very least, children from official families can become officials, make great achievements in the court, serve the motherland, and reach the pinnacle of life. Even children from ordinary people can still have a platform and opportunity to display their ambitions as long as they are talented.
An idle clan like them, with high status but no power, would be doomed to live a life of idleness and death after the crown prince ascended the throne.
Even being able to eat and wait for death is considered a great blessing. When the new king takes the throne and thinks of these brothers, he may want to sharpen his sword and risk his life at any time.
have to! Liu Jie thought he had won the first prize at first, but after hearing what Yun'er said, it turned out that he had won the pension insurance in advance?
Why! Forget it, he has been a man for two lifetimes, so fame and wealth are actually nothing in Liu Jie's eyes. He used to be just a migrant worker with 996 involution at the bottom! Now he can mix with the emperor's relatives, and he doesn't know what kind of blessing he got in his life? As a human being, you are always happy when you are content.
To put it another way, so what if you become king?
An ancient poem puts it well: The Great Wall is still there today, but Qin Shihuang is nowhere to be seen?
So what if you have thousands of miles of land? After death, wasn't it packed into a car full of smelly fish and rotten shrimps and transported back to Xianyang for burial in a hurry? In the end, wasn't it easy for our old Liu family to cause trouble and die?
It is very boring to have all the achievements of all the generations turned into smoke. It is better to be a second-generation ancestor who bullies men and dominates women and enjoys all the glory and wealth. Only then will this life be lived in vain.
After recovering his thoughts, Liu Jie asked again, "Master Zhao who came to see me that morning when Yun'er came to see me, oh, he is my uncle. What kind of official is he in the court?"
Yun'er said, "Mr. Zhao is currently the Shaofu, one of the nine ministers, and is also your mentor. Because of my wife's relationship, the emperor trusts her very much, and she is considered a celebrity around the emperor."
Liu Jie was suddenly surprised when he heard this. The Young Mansion was in charge of the emperor's private property and took care of the emperor's daily life. No wonder he was able to ask for the imperial doctor's order.
Imperial Doctor Ling is also one of the officials of Jiuqing Shaofu, but fortunately he is a close minister beside the emperor. The Shaofu energy is still very strong. Those who can get into this position are not ordinary people. His personal ability should be quite strong. It seems that here The official system is not much different from that of Qin and Han Dynasties.
Liu Jie said, "By the way, Yun'er, are you the only personal maid here? Isn't it tiring for you to take care of my food and daily life by yourself?"
Under normal circumstances, let alone princes, high-ranking officials are surrounded by a large group of servants, wiping their faces, washing up, going to the toilet, etc., so he asked this question.
Hearing this, Yun'er suddenly looked serious and said, "Young Master, more than ten days ago, the Young Master suddenly became seriously ill and couldn't afford water or rice. When His Majesty heard about this, he was furious. He thought someone was plotting against the Young Master, so he killed all the palace people around him. This slave has been with the lady in his early years and is an old man in the palace, so he was spared."
Yun'er's tone was trembling when she said this.
Damn it! Hearing this, Liu Jie suddenly felt a chill from head to toe. In this evil old society, how could a dozen heads just say no to it? Are there any human rights? Is there any royal method? Are there any laws? Who is not raised by his biological parents? Killing someone is like slaughtering an animal.
It was only now that he truly felt the terrifying oppression brought by this absolute power. It was like he was unlucky for eight lifetimes to travel to this era.
Now he really wants to find a crooked-neck tree and hang himself from the southeast branch to see if he can thread it back through?
Liu Jie sighed in his heart, our new society is better! Serve the people! Here, the whole country serves the emperor, alas! unlucky!
He thought for a while, shook his head and gave up the unrealistic idea of hanging himself. If he hung himself, he would really die, and he would never be able to return to the original world. Even if he went back, his original physical body would probably have been long gone. The spark is gone, who among those familiar with him will still regard him as his original self?
Forget it, now that it's here, make peace with it and slowly adapt to this world! Anyway, the beginning of the prince's identity seems to be pretty good.
Liu Jie and Yun'er, the master and servant, walked through this magnificent palace. In the previous conversation with Yun'er, she seemed to have a very sad tone when she mentioned her mother. Now that he is here, he also wants to know more about the past...
Liu Jie asked, "Yun'er, please tell me about my mother."
When Yun'er heard that the young master asked her to tell her about Zhao Ji, she was obviously in a very low mood. Seeing her expression, Liu Jie basically guessed that the person was long gone.
"Master, let's go back and talk."
Liu Jie probably understood what she meant. When it comes to the secrets of the palace, there are too many people in the deep palace to talk about it here.
