Why do you say you almost can't recognize it?
In Xiao Yu's impression, Xiao Ziqian, the king of Jiangxia back then, was not as fat as this.
He was also a powerful figure in the Daqi Empire at that time. He and Pingxi General Cui Huijing followed the late emperor to eradicate the Xiao Luan lineage that had been causing trouble in the empire for six years, and returned the imperial power to the lineage of the ancestors.
Later, he won the favor of Long, with power in both the government and the public. He was worshiped as a minister, minister Zuopushe, general of the Northern Expedition, commander-in-chief of Jingxiang, Si Yong, and all the military in the four states. The governor was stationed in Jianghan to resist the Northern Wei State.
But later, he became too powerful and was deprived of military power by the late emperor. Then he returned to the capital at the feet of the emperor and became a prince enjoying peace and wealth.
Even if I did gain weight later on, it wouldn’t be like what I am now!
"How's it going? I didn't lie to you!" Xiao Yuheng had a proud smile on his face. He looked more like a ruffian than an emperor.
Xiao Yu noticed that his father was locked in a special pig cage at the moment. His extremely fat body was trapped inside and could not move at all.
But he should be just over forty but he looks like an old man in his sixties, with his messy gray hair without any structure, and his originally dim eyes suddenly glowed after seeing Xiao Yu. .
Xiao Yu tried hard to control the turbulence in his heart. He tried his best to look more like a fool. He opened his mouth slightly, waiting for the fluid that gradually formed to flow to the corner of his mouth.
"How's it going? Do you know him? He's the one with the fat head and big ears." Xiao Yuheng slapped Xiao Yu's shoulder heavily with one hand. He seemed to be as excited as if he had been given blood, and his eyes seemed to be going crazy. General eyes were staring at Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu nodded and shook his head. He turned his head and stared blankly at Xiao Yuheng.
"Look what I am doing! Fool, do you know your father? Do you know how well he lives in my palace, and he has not enough pig food to eat all day long." Xiao Yuheng looked a little bit Impatiently, "You may not know that I changed the title of your father, and now he is called Pig King! Liu Song also named a Pig King in the previous dynasty. I checked the historical data and compared with your father, that Liu Yu has no He is just a skinny pig. Look at your father, how heavy he is, he is really a live pig, with a fat head and big ears, and a face full of oil! Hehe... Then you are the heir apparent of the Pig King, thank you quickly! "
Thank you, sir. Xiao Yu suppressed the anger in his heart, but he smiled dryly at the young emperor.
But Xiao Yuheng seemed to be interested at this time, and he continued: "Ha, there are those two, one is our Seventh Emperor's Uncle, that is Xiao Ziqi, who has the evil eyebrows and rat eyes. Now he is no longer the King of Jiujiang. I changed his name to Rat. King. And...that one, our cousin Xiao Wei, the look on his face that was cut to death by a thousand cuts is exactly the same as his dead ghost father, I will keep him here to slowly torture him, he will be the dead king! "
For these two people, Xiao Yu's time with them was very short, but he was not as indignant as when he heard his father was insulted.
"By the way, I haven't told you yet what I asked you to do this time!" Xiao Yuheng said and walked to the brazier, holding a red-hot iron in one hand and playing with it.
Xiao Yu, who was standing behind him, really wanted to push his face into the brazier, but reason told him not to act rashly.
Because he keenly noticed that there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at them all the time in places where the lights could not reach them on both sides.
"Fool, didn't you hear what I told you?" Xiao Yuheng suddenly turned his head and looked at Xiao Yu.
"What?" Xiao Yu pretended to be stupid again.
Xiao Yuheng snorted coldly. He finally stopped calling Xiao Yu a fool: "Brother Yu, I dreamed about you last night. I dreamed about Hualin Garden that year, the scene when we fought, and the Qinghe River in Wei State. The king and his ugly sister..."
Hearing this, Xiao Yu suddenly felt excited all over, and his hands suddenly shook.
"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Yuheng seemed not to miss this detail, but his tone remained steady.
"cold."
"Then come and sit with me." The young emperor waved, and someone moved a futon to the side of the brazier. "Sit down! Yudi... Hey, it was a really good fight that day. I have never done that before. So if you really fight with someone, you won't be polite and pin me down."
"What?" Xiao Yu could only continue to act stupid.
"Silly! Fortunately, you broke your head and became a fool. Otherwise, just because of this...I might have crushed you to ashes!" Xiao Yuheng said quietly, staring at Xiao Yu's face. He stared for a long time before continuing, "Although I have inherited the throne, I always have trouble sleeping at night. I always dream that someone wants to kill me. I also feel lonely and want to find someone to talk to!"
"Huh?" Xiao Yu nodded.
Suddenly Xiao Yuheng brought his face close to Xiao Yu's ear with a malicious look on his face: "Fool, do you want to be the emperor?"
Xiao Yu suddenly felt a bolt from the blue flashing before his eyes, and his mind was suddenly filled with dark clouds.
Xiao Yuheng said, both jokingly and seriously: "The moment you sit on the throne, you will understand why so many people want that position!"
"It's not fun." Xiao Yu slowly opened his mouth and said, but his palms were sweating.
"Hehehe... A fool is a fool..." Xiao Yuheng let out another burst of nervous laughter, "But there are so many people in the world who want to sit in this seat! Everyone wants to be Emperor, after becoming emperor, the whole world belongs to you, you can do whatever you want, and kill whoever you want!"
"It's really not fun." Xiao Yu shook his head vigorously.
"It's the fool like you who says such stupid things. Do you know how many people will do whatever it takes to get this position? Even if they abandon their family ties! Just like me...and those ancestors and sects in the rankings."
Xiao Yu stopped talking. He lowered his head and played with the soldering iron, but Xiao Yuheng didn't seem to take this "idiot"'s actions seriously at all.
"Fool, the foundation of Da Qi was established when my great ancestor, Emperor Gao, slaughtered all the remnants of the Liu and Song dynasties from the previous dynasty. Emperor Gao was tolerant to our own family, but he was much more ruthless to the Liu family, even the infants. He didn't let the child go. Later, Emperor Wu was lenient, but after King Yulin came to power, he also killed his relatives and forced the traitor Xiao Luan to rebel. Xiao Luan and Xiao Baojuan and his son even wanted to kill my Gaodi lineage, and finally forced The late emperor raised an army and his brother won the throne. Fool, did you see it? The throne is still bleeding... Do you think you are afraid of me sitting on it?"
Xiao Yu secretly took a deep breath of cold air, and his brain was spinning rapidly again.
Xiao Yuheng glanced at Xiao Yu, who had a dull look on his face, with a little pride on his lips.
"Humph, fool... Do you know that my father also wanted my life back then, just to make room for my younger brother Jiangyin King Xiao Yuchen? Do you think I had any other choice besides being the emperor? "
Xiao Yu slowly raised his head and looked at Xiao Yuheng.
"Cousin, do you know what I did at that time?"
"How?"
Xiao Yuheng's expression suddenly darkened, murderous intent appeared on his face again, and he lowered his voice very low.
"I will only tell you one thing. I first fed something into my father's medicine. Unfortunately, the medicine was not strong enough. The old man was rolling around in pain, but he could not die. He was still able to get up and wanted to be abolished. My position as the crown prince, do you think it is evil or not?
"Thanks... the general of the imperial army who was on duty that day and night was one of my men. Fortunately, the news did not leak out of the palace wall. I mobilized people all night to surround the old man's palace. I personally raised the old eunuch who was holding the edict. He was stabbed to death, and my father was strangled to death with the belt around my waist.
"The late emperor died suddenly after taking the elixir by mistake. It is only natural for the crown prince to ascend to the throne. I first pretended to execute all the demons around the late emperor, as well as the disobedient ministers. I also used thunderous means to deal with them all, including our third uncle Yuzhang Wang Xiao Zize and eighth uncle Kuaiji Wang Xiao Ziyan, leaving only the obedient ones.
"As for my nine-year-old imperial brother Xiao Yuchen, the first thing I did when I became emperor was to take his head and take out his heart and liver and feed it to his bitch mother and concubine! That bitch eats her own children. Her heart is like a half-starved bitch. Hehehehe...hahaha..."
"What?" Xiao Yu was frightened when he heard this, but he continued to act stupid.
"Fool, although my father was sorry for me back then, he taught me a sentence that I still remember freshly."
"What are you talking about?"
"You have to kill as early as possible, and you have to act fast!"
"What?" Xiao Yu's mind was buzzing.
"As long as there is anyone who threatens my throne, I will not save anyone!" Xiao Yuheng's eyes became fierce, "If I don't kill them, they will kill me sooner or later. The blood of the Xiao family is like this, cold and murderous! I I don’t want to do this, but keeping them will always be a disaster!”
"Oh!" Xiao Yu nodded pretendingly.
Xiao Yuheng patted Xiao Yu's shoulder again, "Fortunately...Fortunately, I didn't kill them all, and there are still a few left. These few are quite obedient, including your Pig King father. I will keep them in the palace. Play with me slowly... As for you, a fool, I am the most at ease. After all, we share the same lineage as Emperor Gao... I will treat you well in the future and guarantee you endless glory and wealth..."
"What is wealth?"
"Haha..." The young emperor smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It's better to be a fool. If those uncles and brothers were all fools like you, I wouldn't have to go through so much trouble."
Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Yuheng's lonely back, and suddenly felt an indescribable compassion in his heart.
I am someone who has read some history. The change of dynasty is not stained with blood. Emperors are always lonely.
And this young emperor must have been frightened after killing too many people, so he specially summoned me, a "fool", into the palace as someone to talk to. Perhaps the glory and wealth he promised himself was more to comfort his soul. trauma on.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yu couldn't help but get distracted, and he suddenly sighed.
But it was this breath that made him suddenly realize that he was cheating, and he also noticed Xiao Yuheng's sharp eyes staring at him.
A hundred meters away, Xiao Yu couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart.
At this moment, the prisoners' cries for mercy suddenly came from the "execution room".
The young emperor's attention suddenly shifted from Xiao Yu to the half-dead prisoners, but it seemed that the more these people groveled, the angrier Xiao Yuheng became.
Just listen to the young emperor suddenly roaring: "Come here! Take out those useless ones first, chop them into meat paste, make meat patties and feed them to their families! If there are any who don't want to eat, eat them immediately. Hammer it into meat patties and feed it to the dogs!"
As expected, more than ten guards in black appeared in the darkness around them. They released the prisoners from the torture devices and dragged them out in pairs, leaving many long blood marks on the ground.
The three destitute princes in the iron cage were huddled together, shivering.
At this time, the hall finally became quiet.
Xiao Yu felt his heart pounding. Meeting such a cruel and inhumane tyrant really tested his mental endurance, but his mental dam might burst soon, and he would definitely become A real fool.
"Fool? I changed my mind." The young emperor suddenly said calmly.
"What?" Xiao Yu really didn't understand.
"I haven't eaten roasted pork for a long time. Come and have a meal with me later."
"Roasted pork?" Xiao Yu's heart was pounding for some reason.
Xiao Yuheng suddenly stood up, waved his sleeves and said, "Come here, take that Pig King out for me to roast!"
Xiao Yu couldn't help but be stunned.
In the darkness, two more inner guards in black stood up and were about to carry the special pig cage.
Prince Jiang Xia in the pig cage seemed to be frightened. He was thrashing in the cage: "No! I haven't grown that fat yet! I can't eat it yet!"
The other two princes were already so frightened that their faces turned pale, and their whole bodies were shaking like chaff.
Xiao Yu was anxious, but he could vaguely feel that the young emperor didn't seem to really trust him, and he wanted to use this matter to test himself.
In order to survive, do I really have to eat my father's flesh?
Just as he was thinking of this, he saw the main entrance of the palace being pushed open from the outside. Along with the sunshine breaking out of the clouds, a woman's voice as elegant as the spring breeze came from outside:
"Wait! Don't do anything yet!"
