After a long time.
Emperor Longqing looked at Zhao Mu with a hint of sarcasm on his lips.
"What are you doing here, brother?"
"do what?"
Zhao Mu seemed to be stimulated by the ridicule, his voice suddenly became louder, and he shouted: "I will overthrow this false emperor of yours, clear the source, and revive the imperial court!"
"Fake emperor, fake emperor..."
Emperor Longqing lowered his head and murmured to himself, letting out a weird laugh: "Chi chi chi, false emperor, hahaha, false emperor, hahaha, I am the false emperor!"
The voice was high and low, like crying and laughing, which made people's hair stand on end.
"I am the Emperor of Daqing!"
Emperor Longqing stood up abruptly and stood condescendingly on the steps, staring at Zhao Mu with sharp eyes: "I have eliminated the troubles in the palace, subdued the Northern King, innovated the tax system, expanded the territory, revived Daqing, and my achievements are as good as those of Taizu!"
"And you, a loser, who died at the hands of the Demon Queen long ago, dare to face me?"
Thump thump thump.
Zhao Mu was frightened by Emperor Longqing's momentum and couldn't help but take three steps back. When he realized what he was doing, he became angry and said.
"Why are you so crazy? It's me who lives and you die. I am the Emperor of Daqing!"
There is no need to conceal the purpose in the words, and there is no need to hide the victory when victory is within reach.
"Yeah, I'm going to die again..."
Emperor Longqing lost all his momentum and slumped down on the dragon chair. He looked at Zhou Yi and Tang Mingyuan again: "Eunuch Yi, Mr. Tang, who are you?"
Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows and didn't know how to answer.
Since Emperor Longqing asked this, he must not be referring to his identity as Duke Zhou, but who else could he be besides this identity?
Tang Mingyuan's eyes flickered. He had read a lot of the Internet in his previous life. Moreover, he had traveled from another time and space, and he had some vague guesses about the origin of Emperor Longqing.
"Your Majesty, the common man is Jiang Ning's son-in-law."
"Sister-in-law? Humph!"
Emperor Longqing did not continue to ask, since he had completely lost, why bother to get to the bottom of it, and said to himself.
"Every result has a cause, and everything gained has a price..."
Zhou Yi thought about the deep meaning of Emperor Longqing's words, combined with the previous questions, and felt a chill running down his spine.
"Where does our family's immortality come from?"
Zhou Yi had previously explored the origin of immortality. Apart from his long lifespan, it didn't seem to have any disadvantages, so he regarded it as his unique talent.
However, all effects originate from causes.
Where does this talent come from? It cannot be for no reason. Even the blessing of a Bodhisattva needs incense, let alone the "gods and demons" who grant immortality.
"Eunuch Yi, Mr. Tang, don't listen to this nonsense."
Zhao Mu said: "Sixteenth brother has been foolish since he was a child, and now he has fallen into madness. For the stability of Daqing, the emperor must be abolished and re-established!"
"Maybe I'm really crazy."
Emperor Longqing sighed and looked at the silent Eunuch Yuan: "I was unworthy of one person in my past life, and I am unworthy of someone in this life, so I will use my body in this life to repay the debt of my previous life."
"Please, Eunuch Yuan, please send me on my way so that I can die cleanly and don't ruin my appearance!"
Eunuch Yuan bowed to Zhao Mu, and after receiving the permission, he stepped up the jade steps, his true energy heaving in his fingertips.
Zhou Yi felt that Eunuch Yuan's true energy was condensed and almost turned into substance. The quantity may be far different from his own, but the state was not different at all.
"We are one step away from becoming a genius. We almost forgot that Xiao Yuanzi was a genius among the chamberlains back then."
Eunuch Yuan asked: "Your Majesty, who killed the late emperor?"
"Eunuch Hai."
Emperor Longqing had no reason to cover up for the enemy who killed his father. He explained: "Eunuch Hai once had an obscene harem and fathered a son with one of his father's concubines. I used this secret to coerce and induce him to commit regicide."
"..."
Eunuch Yuan had already speculated about this. The two innate masters were guarding the late emperor. It was impossible for outsiders to succeed in the assassination. Only they had problems.
Eunuch Wei was the late emperor's confidant, so the one who would betray him would only be Eunuch Hai, but he didn't expect that the reason would be the obscene harem.
"Eunuch Hai has been in the palace since he was a child and has long been cut off from the dust. How can he do obscene things?"
"Perhaps the yin pole flourishes and the yang rises, or perhaps heaven and man are reincarnated..."
Emperor Longqing said: "I don't know martial arts, and I don't know the specific realm. In the future, Eunuch Yuan will tell me that among all the masters in the palace, Eunuch Hai will be among the top three!"
"Our family?"
Eunuch Yuan didn't know why, so he asked: "The late emperor was benevolent and virtuous. He reformed the tax system and benefited all the people. Seeing the revival of the country, why did your majesty kill the king and his father?"
"It shouldn't be like this. My father should have passed away long ago."
Emperor Longqing said: "In the third year of Zhengtong, my father ignored the dissuasion of hundreds of officials and forced the Western Expedition. It failed due to insufficient military pay, food and grass."
"King Pingxi, Feng Wei had not yet been crowned king at that time and died in the Western Expedition."
"At the end of the fourth year of Orthodoxy, my father forcibly reformed the tax system in order to increase the country's tax revenue. The Demon Queen took the opportunity to bewitch the family and officials, and launched a palace coup. My father died in a fire in the Qinzheng Palace!"
When Emperor Longqing spoke, he looked at Zhou Yi and said coldly: "Eunuch Yi is really my father's arm. He raised tens of millions of taels of military pay out of thin air, and there is still plenty left after the war."
"It even shocked the world and helped my father successfully implement the New Deal..."
"Jie Jie Jie!"
Zhou Yi laughed a few times and said, "Our family has never thought about this. We are just loyal to your majesty. As long as your majesty orders, we will do all the good things and never do the bad things."
Emperor Longqing said: "Eunuch Yi is so loyal, but it's a pity that my father doesn't trust him, otherwise I wouldn't have a chance!"
"Thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness."
Zhou Yi cupped his hands in the direction of the imperial mausoleum and said, "The late emperor does not trust me. It must be because our family did not do well. We need to reflect more!"
Zhao Mu's eyes shone brightly, he stepped forward and held Zhou Yi's hand, and said kindly: "The Governor is the pillar of the country. I trust him with all my heart."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Zhou Yi squeezed his eyes hard and shed a few tears, not tears of gratitude, but tears of joy.
Zhao Mu is much easier to fool than the orthodox emperor!
The Zhengtong Emperor was not wrong in suspecting Zhou Yi, but because he missed the opportunity to rebel, Zhou Yi had no choice but to "loyal" to the end.
Eunuch Yuan watched Zhou Yi's performance with cold eyes. He once ate and lived with him, and later became like an enemy and like a friend. How could he not know this guy's true temperament, but it was not appropriate to reveal it at this time.
"Your Majesty, as you said, the emperor did not die early, so he killed the king?"
"This is supposed to be my world and my achievements!"
Emperor Longqing said bitterly: "Suddenly, an inexplicable person appeared, and everything became a mess. Those who deserved to die were not alive, and those who deserved to live were not alive."
"Only I know how to eradicate the Demon Queen, know how to pacify the north, know who is loyal and who is traitorous in the court, and know how to reform..."
"So, in order to prosper our country, I must change everything back!"
Emperor Longqing's eyes were about to burst, and he roared like a storm, seeming to vent his anger, but also seemed to be trying his best to cover up the shame in his heart.
Eunuch Yuan frowned, finally understood what Emperor Long Qing said, shook his head and said.
"Fortune creates achievements, which are beyond human power!"
Say it.
A gentle tap of his fingertips cut off Emperor Longqing's heart.
Emperor Longqing's eyes were distracted, but he was a little relieved: "You and I have been husbands and ministers for twenty years. I failed you in the last life, and now I have paid it off..."
Eunuch Yuan was silent and said on his knees.
"The country cannot live without a king for a day, so I invite His Highness to ascend the throne and preside over the government!"
Zhou Yi secretly scolded Eunuch Yuan for being insidious and actually took the lead in supporting him, and then he knelt down and shouted.
"Viva viva!"
