Offering King Li Mu?
Upon hearing this name, Concubine Jin immediately said:
"This King Xian Li Mu is the clan that Enhai found and made him the emperor. But what is he doing in the Yangxin Hall?"
Just as he was talking, he saw a man wearing bright yellow silk clothes walking in proudly, with a slight smile on his face.
Xiao Guangzi and other eunuchs seemed to want to stop him, but they couldn't stop him at all and were pushed away by him.
This man looked to be about twenty years old, with a handsome face, and he was somewhat handsome, but his eyes seemed a bit twinkling and cunning.
It was none other than King Xian Li Mu.
The moment he saw Concubine Jin, his eyes couldn't help but flash with surprise, followed by a hint of greed.
Arriving at the palace, Li Mu immediately raised his fists to Li Yun and said:
"But Emperor Li Yun's brother? My brother is King Xian Li Mu. He just returned to the palace with Jiu Qiansui a few days ago. He came here to meet the emperor's brother. Our Li family clan has been scattered since the Ling Emperor's rebellion, so we should get close to each other."
Then he laughed and said:
"I knew that the emperor's younger brother was young, but I didn't expect that he was only sixteen years old. Hey, he is really young. Isn't the emperor's younger brother also having a hard time with the government affairs in the court? I have some knowledge of literary skills, so I can share the burden for the emperor's younger brother in the future. .”
He spoke in a friendly manner, but his behavior was not respectful at all. It was obvious that he did not take Li Yun as the emperor seriously at all.
Instead, he began to observe the furnishings of the Yangxin Hall, as if he was looking at his own decoration.
As he spoke, he began to look at Concubine Jin beside him again, and said in a loud voice:
"I didn't expect that there would be such a stunning concubine in this harem. My dear brother, you are so beautiful and blessed... It is such a waste of natural resources to have such a beauty like this in the palace, tsk tsk..."
Concubine Jin narrowed her eyes and scolded:
"Presumptuous! Dare to be so rude in front of the emperor. This is the crime of deceiving the emperor. According to the law, you will be cut in half!"
Li Mu raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't expect Concubine Jin to be so fierce. He chuckled and said:
"I am the king who made a mistake. Don't blame me, my brother. But this is bullying the king... I wonder how the emperor's edict on sin will go in three days' time during the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony?"
Li Yun looked at Li Mu, the king of sacrifice, and said lightly:
"Brother Wang, do you know what it means to wear a crown while wearing a monkey's head?"
This King Xian himself is called Li Mu, and the word "Mu Hou Er Guan" is simply tailor-made for him.
When Li Mu heard this, his expression changed and he said angrily:
"Li Yun, I respect you as a member of the clan, but you humiliate me like this. This is really intolerable!"
Li Yun's spiritual consciousness suddenly enveloped the other party, and the spiritual pressure was released. He looked at Li Mu and asked lightly:
"Brother Wang, you know that the emperor's family is the most ruthless. I have a question to ask Brother Wang. If you become the emperor, how should you treat the previous monarchs? Or, if you become the emperor and face the rebels, What should we do?"
At this moment, Li Mu suddenly felt as if Li Yun in front of him had turned into a ferocious beast, shrouded in that coercion. He felt frightened for a moment, but for a moment he didn't know what was happening.
After hearing Li Yun's question, he tried his best to stay calm and said viciously:
"Then naturally he will be exiled thousands of miles away and end his life in that barren land!"
Hearing this, Li Yun shook his head slightly, stared into Li Mu's eyes and said:
"How can the matter of dynasty hegemony be such a child's play? Only by cutting the opponent into pieces with thousands of swords and scattering their bones and ashes can the disaster be eliminated. What do you think, Brother Wang?"
As he spoke, murderous aura emerged from his eyes, and the fierce aura coming out of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood instantly made Li Mu sweat profusely in front of him. He felt as if he had fallen into the hands of evil Shura and would be torn to pieces at any time!
At this time, his buttocks were trembling, his legs were weak and he was sitting on the ground. Suddenly he felt a warmth between his legs, and he peed his pants.
Li Yun withdrew his spiritual pressure and killing intent at will and said:
"Brother Wang, please come back."
Li Mu woke up from her dream and quickly got up. Her face turned pale, and she lowered her head and flew out as if she had run away.
Concubine Jin on the side had a stern look in her eyes, and she glanced at Li Yun secretly, with a hint of surprise flashing across her face.
She didn't feel the spiritual pressure and murderous intent that was directed only at Li Mu, but she was a little surprised and confused that Li Yun actually managed to scare away Li Mu with just a few words.
At the same time, he was also surprised by the calmness and calmness shown by the little emperor.
In recent times, the emperor seems to have changed into a different person, becoming much more aggressive.
It's no wonder that the leader of the church pays more and more attention to Li Yun, the White Lotus' left envoy.
Now he looked at the fleeing figure of King Xian Li Mu and said:
"Enhai has a good vision. He chose this person to be the emperor and it is easy to control him."
Li Mu's character can only be described as despicable.
Even though Enhai might have given him a private promise to be the emperor, the ceremony to worship the heaven will be in three days, and the emperor will be abolished and a new emperor will be established on that day at the earliest. This Li Mu couldn't help but come to confront him. Li Yun, the current emperor, was sarcastic.
And judging from his appearance, he was not only sarcastic, but also began to think about how to be cool and enjoy himself after becoming the emperor.
It is simply a villain who has achieved his ambition to the extreme!
Li Yun said lightly:
"Having a small plan but no big plan is just a clown."
If he wasn't this kind of person, Enhai would probably not be at ease either.
Since Li Mu had come so blatantly to ridicule him, I think the news about the abolition of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony would gradually spread.
Li Yun felt a sense of expectation at this time.
After chatting with Li Yun for a few more words, Concubine Jin hurriedly left to arrange the arrangements.
The timing of deposing the emperor has been brought forward, disrupting many of the White Lotus Sect's previous plans, and many things must be carried out in advance.
As the news of this incident came out, it seems that whether it is the Queen Mother's party, the Dongzhu party with nine surnames and ten clans, or those Jiedu envoys with double intentions, they should have started to work harder.
Maybe they would have to dispatch troops and generals while scolding Enhai for not being punctual, causing them to work overtime.
Thinking of this scene, Li Yun couldn't help but want to laugh.
Undercurrents were surging all around, and as the core of the eye of the storm, he became the most leisurely person at this time.
Then he said to Xiao Guangzi:
"Tell the Supervisor of Ceremonies that I will leave the palace for a private visit in disguise."
Go get my royal energy.
Xiao Guangzi had no doubt that he was there, and immediately informed the Chief of Ceremonies of the emperor's request.
As Li Yun expected, the Chief of Ceremonies agreed without any delay and arranged a team of royal guards as escorts.
The leader of the team was an old acquaintance, the Jin Yiwei official named Zhou Quan.
After the last time Tong Deliang, the son of You Shaoqing of Dali Temple, was furiously killed in the street, Quan Quan was in the limelight this week, and his actions hit the Dongzhu Party, which represented the aristocratic family, and he was considered to have made a contribution within the eunuch Party.
Originally it was just a general flag, but now it has been raised to hundreds of households.
Hearing that the emperor was about to leave the palace for another private visit, Zhou Quan immediately ran over, fearing that the emperor would change his bodyguard.
With the experience last time, this time the emperor was already familiar with the process of leaving the palace for a private visit. He quickly left the imperial city and arrived at Suzaku Street.
At this time, the capital was still bustling, but there were fewer victims begging for food on the streets than before.
Xiao Guangzi followed outside the carriage and saw Li Yun's doubts. He came over and whispered to Li Yun:
"Recently, there have been more and more disaster victims outside the city. The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division were afraid of causing trouble, so they drove all the victims and beggars out of the city. There happened to be a porridge shop outside the city, and the victims and beggars were willing to go there. , at least I have something to eat..."
Zhou Quan, who was guarding on horseback, came over at this time, cupped his fists and whispered:
"Your Majesty, do you think we are going to Yong'an Street? It is said that Jin Hanlin, Liu Hanlin and the others have been telling "Shunlong's Private Interview in Undress" in teahouses and restaurants on Yong'an Street these days, claiming to be ordered to write lyrics. They have become very famous and lively. tight."
In his opinion, if the emperor suddenly paid a private visit incognito, he was obviously coming out to watch the fun.
Previously, the emperor summoned several storytellers, dramatists, and poets into the palace, where they wrote books and lyrics every day, and even appointed them to the Hanlin Academy to serve as members of the Hanlin Academy. This was a joke.
Inside and outside the court, people said that the emperor was not doing his job properly and was so happy about his achievements. He just killed a dandy and regarded it as a great achievement.
This time, I obviously want to go to a teahouse and a restaurant to get drunk.
However, Zhou Quan had a good impression of the emperor.
From previous contacts, he could also feel that the emperor was not an incompetent person, completely different from the rumors.
Even enough to be called a wise king.
But now that the eunuchs are in power, even the emperor is just a bird in a cage or a fish in a net. No matter how capable he is, he can only be trapped there and depressed.
Moreover, Zhouquan heard some rumors that the eunuch Enhai was planning to depose the emperor and establish a new one, and that Emperor Shunlong might not be able to remain emperor for a few days.
But he Zhou Quan was only a member of the Jinyiwei Baihu family, and he had just been promoted from the general banner.
It's good if you can protect yourself. If you want to be loyal to the emperor, there is no way.
That's all, let's keep the emperor safe and make him happy every day.
Unexpectedly, the emperor listened to his words and said calmly:
"Go to the porridge shop outside the city."
Zhou Quan couldn't help but be stunned.
The porridge shop at the gate of the city was filled with refugees from all walks of life. It was a mess, and the scene was really unsightly.
Many people no longer even have a personal appearance.
What was the emperor doing there?
However, I thought of the previous order from the Director of Ceremonies, saying that he should try his best to cooperate with whatever the little emperor wanted to do, as long as his safety was ensured.
What's more, during the recent Beijing camp drills, the guards of the Shangzhi Army and the camps of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion were stationed around the capital, making it safer outside the city.
Zhou Quan was too lazy to think about it at this time, and immediately made a gesture to the driver driving the carriage next to him. A group of guards in golden uniforms protected the carriage and walked towards the south gate of the capital.
The victims of the disaster in the city have all been driven out of the city. Although the recent disaster seems to have become more serious, the streets in the capital appear to be much cleaner and tidier.
It also made all the dignitaries above the court applaud.
It's natural to play and sing every night.
But the closer we get to the city gate, the more dilapidated the scene on the roadside becomes, and beggars appear one after another.
Once they got out of the city gate, the situation suddenly changed.
Disaster victims, densely packed, crowded the large open space outside the city gate. They were dressed in ragged clothes and skinny, with expressions of numbness and despair on their faces.
Several huge sheds were erected under the city wall, holding dozens of large pots with white gas billowing out.
There was only a hint of food in the white gas, but it attracted many victims to suck it greedily.
It's like sucking the most delicious food in the world.
But they couldn't get close to the porridge shed.
Around the porridge shed, there were hundreds of patrols from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division guarding the area. Their long swords were unsheathed and they were filled with murderous intent.
In the porridge shed, several fat officials in official uniforms were laughing.
From time to time, victims of the disaster would bring some pretty young girls, wives or daughters, into the porridge shed, and they would be ignored by the officials like animals.
