"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
A slightly messy but very loud voice sounded in his ears, and Li Yun slowly opened his eyes.
What comes into view is a magnificent and magnificent hall.
Dragons circled the pillars, and cranes lined the steps. He was sitting on a high throne, and below him was a group of civil and military officials dressed in the robes of birds and animals, all kneeling and saluting.
The shout just now came from them!
Looking down, he saw that he was wearing a dragon robe embroidered with gold thread.
I have traveled through time and become an emperor! ?
Memories from his past life flashed through Li Yun's mind, and the last image was vaguely of him staying up late and working overtime and suddenly dying and being pushed to the emergency room for rescue.
Never would I have imagined that one day the chosen workers would have a chance to restart their diamond lives!
The memory from the owner of this body is relatively vague. I vaguely remember that he is also called Li Yun, which is convenient. The other things are not important. After all, he is the emperor, who can question himself?
With excitement, he cleared his throat and said loudly:
"Everyone is safe!"
The voice came out, but it seemed out of breath and very weak.
There was also a cough.
Obviously this body was a little weak, and he probably died in this way, otherwise he wouldn't have been penetrated by Li Yun's soul.
A trace of surprise flashed across the eyes of all the civil and military officials in the court, and then they stood in two groups saying "Thank you, Your Majesty" at the same time.
Under the steps of the throne, a young eunuch shouted loudly:
"If you have something to do, start the show, if nothing happens, leave the court!"
Immediately, a minister with a gray beard and purple court clothes came out of the crowd, holding a wat tablet and said:
"Your Majesty, the Qinghe River is flooded, and the east road of the river is devastated. The demon thieves of the White Lotus Sect took the opportunity to win over the victims and gathered hundreds of thousands of people to roar, which has become a serious problem. I believe that the first step in curing the thieves is to save the people. If the people are not hungry, the thieves will disappear. I sincerely request your majesty. The decree is to send disaster relief to Dongcang to suppress the White Lotus demon and bandits."
Li Yun raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that he would encounter such a situation as soon as he became emperor, including floods and rebellion.
But this minister is right. Relief from disasters is to punish thieves, and rescuing people is to relieve disasters.
Then he nodded and said:
"That's right! It's up to Aiqing to handle this matter."
Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Yun finished speaking, the entire hall suddenly became as silent as death.
The eyes of the civil and military officials and the palace attendants all became extremely stunned, some looked deeply worried, and a few even seemed to be gloating about their misfortune.
No one moved.
No one spoke either.
Just when Li Yun was confused, a gentle and slightly gloomy voice sounded from the side:
"Your Majesty, it's just a matter of White Lotus Demon. I won't bother the Holy Master to inquire about some trivial matters. It's better for our family to share your worries for Your Majesty."
Li Yun suddenly turned his head and realized that right behind his dragon chair, there had always been a eunuch wearing a silver python robe, a three-mountain crown, a golden whisk in his hand, and a gentle and smiling eunuch!
As he said that, the eunuch took a step forward and stood in front of Li Yun. The whisk in his hand swayed slightly and he glanced at Manchao Wenwu under the dragon chair.
Most of the ministers unexpectedly bowed slightly in unison.
Fear flashed in some people's eyes.
Then the eunuch said in a gloomy voice:
"The emperor means that the white lotus demon thieves are nothing to mention. As for the victims, they are just random people who don't understand the emperor's grace. Since they are causing trouble in Hedong Road, they will be dealt with by the governor of Hedong Road. Dongcang is The royal family has a large position and is tied to the foundation of the country. How can it be opened so easily?"
Immediately afterwards, the eunuch narrowed his eyes, looked at the minister who had just presented the memorial, and said slowly:
"As for Mr. Pei Zhong, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites... What are your intentions in making lies in the court to confuse the public?"
Pei Zhong's expression changed, and he said with an angry look on his face:
"Enhai! You eunuch! His Majesty has been in power for three years now, and you still dare to cover up the sky with one hand! If I dare to play in court today, I would have given up this old bone long ago!"
Then he knelt on the ground and cried to Li Yun:
"Your Majesty! You are the leader of our Great Wu Dynasty! Today, the world is united and respected by all the people. Please make the decision, Your Majesty!"
Many of the civil and military officials present changed their expressions and looked at Pei Zhong with disbelief.
Li Yun's heart trembled, and he quickly understood many things.
Is the eunuch in power? So the government has been completely controlled by the eunuch named En Hai... Is the emperor just a puppet?
I just don’t know how many people in the court are loyal to the emperor and patriotic and can be used by themselves?
Li Yun opened his mouth but did not speak directly. It is best to observe when the situation is unclear.
Then En Hai snorted coldly, raised his eyelids and said:
"As eunuch Bingbi, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, our family has been deeply favored by the emperor and has assisted the emperor for many years. However, you, the rebellious officials and traitors, came to instigate us. Take him to prison with a forty stick and put him in the sky prison."
As soon as he finished speaking, two wolf-like and tiger-like guards with swords had brought out two afterimages, rushed in front of Pei Zhong, grabbed his legs and dragged him out!
The dull sound of the court staff striking flesh and blood and Pei Zhong's mournful wail soon came from outside the hall.
All the officials in the hall looked solemn at this time. Most of them were trembling with fear. A small number of people were gloating or filled with indignation, but no one dared to say anything or do anything.
Li Yun saw that the eunuchs and guards in the main hall were all looking at the ministers with eagle eyes, as if they were waiting for the next person to come forward.
Obviously they are all from Enhai!
Pei Zhong's screams gradually disappeared, leaving only the sound of hitting flesh and blood.
He had been beaten unconscious and turned into a piece of rotten flesh.
When the sound of the court staff stopped, Enhai raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said with a smile:
"Your Majesty is tired, please retreat."
He said and looked at Li Yun.
Several young eunuchs gathered around and without any explanation, they lifted Li Yun up and walked out of the hall.
Li Yun's eyes looked very panicked, and he had the consciousness of a puppet emperor.
"I will send you off to your Majesty!" The ministers in the hall felt as if they had been granted amnesty at this time. After Li Yun left, they immediately turned around and left the hall, scattering like birds and beasts.
When the ministers walked out of the Jinluan Hall, they saw that there was no trace of Pei Zhong on the bluestone ground in front of the hall. There was only a pool of blood on the ground and a long blood mark that extended to the door of Taihe.
Most of the ministers looked sad, but they kept their eyes on the road and did not dare to say anything.
After leaving the Gate of Supreme Harmony, a row of sedans had already been waiting outside the door, and officials from various families got on the sedans one after another.
A middle-aged man wearing Chiluo Qingyuan court dress and a seven-beam crown was filled with indignation. He opened the sedan curtain and said to the white-bearded old man on the sedan next to him who also wore a seven-beam crown:
"Mr. Xu Ge, the eunuchs are getting more and more arrogant and excessive. Are we just going to watch like this?"
The old man in front of him was Xu Wen, the Minister of Rites and a cabinet scholar. He was also a representative of several famous families.
Xu Wen coughed, lightly tapped the bamboo stick in his hand, and smiled as he moved forward:
"Although Pei Zhong has some pure loyalty, he has never exceeded it in the past. Today, he risked his life to come forward. It seems that he cannot refuse the conditions given by Mr. Zhang... Empress Dowager Dong's mood is also understandable, but this temptation is still I'm a little anxious..."
Zhang Chongyang put aside his anger and said with a smile:
"As expected of Mr. Xu Ge, who has heard from all directions... There have been four emperors in the past ten years. If the Queen Mother wants to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, she naturally has to see the quality of the emperor. What a pity..."
Xu Wen shook his head slightly and said slowly:
"The Queen Mother has seen Enhai's plan and used Pei Zhong to remind him... The Queen Mother is iron-clad and the Emperor is smooth. As long as the Dong family can be united with the clan, she doesn't have to be like this..."
Zhang Chongyang said with a smile:
"The clan? The clan is not as useful as Dong Taigong, the governor of Xuanwu."
Xu Wen sighed:
"I'm already old, and I don't want to think about these things. I just want the country to be peaceful and the people to be safe..."
As he spoke, he patted the sedan chair, and the bearer speeded up and walked away.
Zhang Chongyang snorted coldly and spat: "Old fox." Then he gently clasped his fingers and pulled down the sedan curtain.
At this time, there were still a few people left in the Jinluan Palace, all of whom were Enhai's confidants.
Enhai stood in front of the dragon chair, looked at the backs of the ministers outside the hall, and said slowly:
"What do you think of today's events?"
The first person with a flattering look on his face was Lai Youguang, the Minister of Punishment, who raised his hands and said:
"My dear benefactor, please calm down. That Pei Zhong is just a fool who doesn't know how to live or die. He is not worthy of mentioning. He is a humble man, so let him be taken care of in the prison..."
The eunuch Gao Rong, who was wearing a purple robe and was standing beside him, said slowly:
"Godfather, the emperor's behavior today is a bit weird. He dared to issue an order himself. He is really rebellious."
Enhai nodded slightly and said calmly:
"It's going to rain. Mother is getting married. King Fu Li Yun has been the emperor for three years. He is also sixteen years old. It's time to have second thoughts... Zheng Haoran."
Zheng Haoran, the commander of Jinyi Guards, quickly replied:
"Grandpa, my grandson is here."
Enhai looked at the plaque on Jianji Suiyou above the emperor's throne and said lightly:
"Do you have any clues about the Queen Hong and King Xian I asked you to look for?"
Zheng Haoran quickly replied:
"We already have some clues. Although the royal family was displaced during the Ling Emperor Rebellion, there are still clues. The real owner will definitely be found within half a year at the earliest."
Enhai shook his head:
"I'll give you...three months."
Zheng Haoran kowtowed quickly and said:
"Yes! Please don't worry, Grandpa!"
Then he said with a salivating smile:
"Grandpa, you are a real -life master, a master of experts, sitting in the town, even if the emperor has two hearts, can you make a wave of storms?"
Enhai shook his head:
"Don't underestimate the people of the world. Let's disperse."
All the party members saluted and dispersed.
At the same time, in the Yangxin Hall of the Qianqing Palace in the inner court, Li Yun, who had just returned from the imperial court, was frightened and sat in the Hanchun Room, looking at everything around him.
On the way back from the court, he had already discovered that although the eunuchs, maids and guards had superficial respect for him, there was no inner respect in their eyes.
And his eyes were vaguely meant to monitor.
Obviously these people are all from Enhai!
The emperor himself is basically a puppet who is kept in the palace and monitored.
I never expected it to be such an emperor... What dynasty is this? These eunuchs are too powerful...
Just as she was thinking about it, she saw a pretty palace maid aged sixteen or seventeen walking in with a bowl of lotus seed soup. When she saw Li Yun, she immediately looked distressed and whispered:
"Your Majesty, you have retired from the imperial court! I don't know what those eunuchs have done to you today... I have just made some Tremella fungus and lotus seed soup for you. Please try it quickly."
After speaking, he brought it to Li Yun, scooped it up with a spoon, breathed out like blue, blew it to cool it, and brought it to Li Yun's mouth, saying:
"I still remember that when I was in Prince Fu's Mansion, His Majesty's favorite drink was Tremella Fungus and Lotus Seed Soup..."
Li Yun instantly understood that this maid should be someone close to him, and quickly whispered:
"I...I'm a little dizzy today, and many things are blurred. Please say a few words to me and let me be quiet."
There are many things that you need to ask clearly as soon as possible. Even if you are a puppet emperor, a little palace maid can still figure it out.
The little palace maid quickly said:
"Your Majesty, do you want to call the imperial doctor?"
Li Yun shook his head and whispered:
"Just chat with me... What's your name?"
The little palace maid chuckled and said:
"Your Majesty originally wanted to make fun of Zhen'er. This servant is your Majesty's Zhen'er. She has been by your Majesty's side since you were in Prince Fu's Mansion. Has your Majesty forgotten Zhen'er?"
He said and winked mischievously.
Li Yun smiled slightly and continued:
"Which country is this? What's the year name?"
Jane said:
"Your Majesty is joking, now is the Shunlong Dynasty of our great martial state, and you are the Emperor Shunlong."
Li Yun continued to ask questions, and the little palace maid also answered all questions.
The name of this country is Wu Kingdom, which has been passed down through ten generations of emperors. By the time of the seventh generation Ling Emperor, the country was ignorant and incompetent, the world was in chaos, several Jiedu envoys rebelled one after another, Wu Kingdom was in decline, and a large number of clan members were lost among the people.
In the end, although the rebels were defeated by the help of King Qin, the military envoy from various places, the envoys were unable to lose their power, forming a separatist trend of vassal towns. In name, the emperor was the common ruler of the world, but in fact, the only ones he could control were Gyeonggi Province, Yan Cha Road, Hedong Road.
The eunuchs had exclusive power within the imperial court. Enhai relied on the party members he had cultivated over the years and his strong martial arts skills to control the government for many years.
After the death of Emperor Ling, his only youngest son Xizong succeeded to the throne. However, he only served as emperor for five years before he died of a sudden illness at the age of eighteen.
Then another clan, King Ping, succeeded to the throne and died two years ago.
Li Yun was originally a child of the idle clan. After King Fu, he was selected by Enhai and others as a puppet to become the emperor. It has been three years.
The civil, military and palace personnel of the Manchu Dynasty were all over the party members of En Hai and others. In addition to the eunuch party, there were also the Dongzhu party formed by aristocratic families, the rear party composed of relatives of the royal family, the Li family clan forces, and scattered Qingliu. All of them have evil intentions.
The emperor is just a decoration on the table, a baby bird in a cage.
Li Yun couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this.
This emperor is too frustrated...
How can this girl be treated?
Maybe one day he will be killed by Enhai and the others.
And from Zhen'er's point of view, this world seems to be based on martial arts. From the first to the ninth level, it is acquired and innate. If you don't have the power to restrain a chicken, wouldn't you just let others slaughter you?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a sharp voice from outside:
"Concubine Jin has come to say hello——"
Li Yun's heart trembled, he still has a royal concubine?
The little palace maid Zhen'er smiled happily:
"Your Majesty, Concubine Jin has always been the closest to you. I wonder what good news she will bring this time."
Li Yun nodded slightly, feeling warm in his heart.
It's good. You are not alone in this world. There are still people close to you.
Just as he was thinking about it, a girl in palace clothes with a pretty face and a slim figure walked in, surrounded by several palace maids and chamberlains.
As the saying goes, hibiscus is not as good as beauty's makeup, and the wind in the water palace brings the fragrance of pearls and greens. Concubine Jin's eyes are full of love and affection. After saluting Li Yun, she immediately retreats.
Li Yun felt excited in his heart, was he going to have a romantic relationship? These feudal emperors are so ridiculous that it makes people’s hearts skip a beat!
Then I saw Concubine Jin's face became solemn, she held a seal in each hand to form the shape of a blooming lotus, and whispered:
"Bai Lian came to the world, and in Vacuum's hometown, Jin'er met Bai Lian's left envoy! The leader has given an order to start something in three months!"
