Chapter 2060 Soft Knife Kills

In fact, the imperial palace is still the former imperial palace, and some of the things in it are still from the past, just like the Palace of Qinzheng. Some of the things in it are things that existed when the Eastern Empire was established, and they all have a history of more than 100,000 years. Well, these things can be said to be the most valuable antiques, but no one comes here to estimate their value, because these things have no economic value at all, and some of them are all political value, just want to enter the door Those two vases are the same, they have been around for many years, and they are taller than a human being. If such things are brought to the antique market, each one will cost hundreds of millions of taels of silver, but who would take this thing? To sell it? This is not a joke, take it out, as long as the Eastern Empire government still exists, you are guilty of beheading.

In the past, when King Ning came here, he was familiar with the road. From the past ten thousand years, it was a different situation. Every time King Ning came in, His Majesty the Emperor felt uncomfortable, because his younger brother relied on getting it from the sea. Some things, the strength is suddenly huge, but I still can't catch his little braid, so I can only let him continue to be so rampant. He often makes some long speeches in the court, one sentence after another, saying this is His home court is the same. His Majesty the Emperor didn't have any brilliance on his face at that time, and it was all taken away by King Ning. At that time, King Ning really didn't think about what His Majesty was thinking. Now King Ning felt it. In history, King Ning felt such a thing twice. When the emperor ascended the throne last time, he knew that this place did not belong to him. But at that time, his fighting spirit was aroused, and now it is different from that time, and now he has no fighting spirit at all.

"The minister sees His Majesty the Emperor, long live my emperor." Although King Ning was in a trance after entering the hall, he still did not forget the etiquette he should have, and immediately saluted. Hundreds of people on both sides The eunuchs all looked at him directly. He had learned the royal etiquette for several years. Although he hadn't used it much in the past few years, he could know these things with his eyes closed. Want to track down your faults in these places. You are all doomed to fail. Sure enough, there are some disappointments on the faces of the eunuchs. It seems that they have also discussed it and want to give King Ning a blow. The guy who went to announce the imperial decree just now had his hand broken. They must have known it too. Everyone was suffocating in their hearts, and they were not very comfortable for a long time. They originally wanted to find a way to avenge that guy. I didn't expect that King Ning could really hold back here, and he wouldn't give you any chance at all.

"Hehe, it's enough to be ordinary. We don't need to engage in those vain rituals between brothers. You may not remember it. This thing should have happened 6,000 years ago. Didn't the Empress Dowager Xiaokang say it when she was still there? We Brothers all exist for the sake of the empire. These kneeling moments can take up a lot of our time. At that time, the old queen mother said it very well, and I have been listening to it all the time. It seems that you have been in the past 6000 years According to what the queen mother said, you just give me a nod when you come in, why is such a big ceremony started again today, I am a little uncomfortable." His Majesty the emperor said with a smile, ordinarily the emperor of a country should not be like this If you are narrow-minded, you shouldn't just hold on to such a thing, but think about it in another way, you are an emperor, so what if everyone in the world kneels down to you, but it's this younger brother who united The empress dowager at that time made such a thing about not kneeling before the king for herself. At that time, the empress dowager's power was very huge.

My own emperor was just an emperor on the surface. At that time, what I was afraid of was that King Ning would collude with the Queen Mother to eradicate him. Don't think that things like that would never happen. It might happen that I have been on the throne for ten thousand years, and when I was on the front line a few days ago, there were still people in the capital who were ready to move, not to mention that I had only been on the throne for three thousand years at that time.

The Empress Dowager Xiaokang is not the mother of the two of them, but a queen from the previous dynasty, that is, their aunt. At that time, when she became the queen mother, she wanted to live her life honestly. She won't be involved in the competition, but she can't help but not participate in the matter later. On the surface, she is the person with the highest status in the entire empire. Apart from not being able to intervene in the national affairs of the previous dynasty, other things can't be done. It's okay to ask, King Ning took a fancy to this point, so he kept sending some valuable things to Shoukang Palace. Outside, he took care of some of the empress dowager's children and nephews. It was too late when I saw that King Ning had already done good things to good people, and at that time when it came to silver, the emperor was not as powerful as King Ning. The entire empire had a lot of income, but also a lot of expenditure. Wanting to make some weird things to make the empress dowager happy is a bit too unreasonable, and the courtiers will not be willing, so the empress dowager will become King Ning's person, no matter what On occasions, whenever there is an opportunity, King Ning will be pulled out to give a good compliment.

Fortunately, this kind of time is not very long. The empress dowager is an ordinary person, that is, there are only ten years, but those ten years are the most dangerous time in the emperor's life. The overall strength of the emperor was lower than the two of them. If they used force at that time, they would really be unable to support them. However, at that time, the Linghu family was on the side of the emperor, and they would not care about King Ning and the Queen Mother. Yes, in the hearts of the Linghu family, the emperor is the most important thing. Thinking of this, the emperor's heart hurts a bit. I really want to go back to that time. At least at that time, the Eastern Empire was much stronger than it is now. It's a pity. Yes, after eradicating the influence of the queen mother, I set my sights on the Linghu family. If I didn't do that, the Linghu family would rebel sooner or later. This matter has such two sides. How should I do it? All will be wrong. The current situation is also acceptable. King Ning is the last stumbling block for him to control the entire empire. Some time ago, he had beaten the major forces in the country. If King Ning is like this, then he is the real one. It took tens of thousands of years to master the empire, and the emperor himself mastered the empire. It would be embarrassing to say it, but this is the real situation.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, I will be punished with death." King Ning would not justify himself with a single redundant word. Because he knew it was useless to say anything at this time. Right now it is better to plead guilty honestly. If I do not plead guilty, there may be more things waiting for me, so I plead guilty by myself. This is different. The emperor will always find himself a crime. At that time, it might be that he will show his flaws, and what he can rely on now is only the words of the common people. Let's see what kind of crime he can find for himself to punish himself. If he did not commit any crimes, he would be a fool if he came here indiscriminately. After hearing King Ning's answer, His Majesty the Emperor also frowned. This guy is really not a simple person. He was punished, but he didn't expect this guy to kick the ball back. This crime is not easy to arrange indiscriminately. It can be said that King Ning's reputation in the past is much stronger than that of the Linghu family. If he punished himself indiscriminately, the ordinary people would not care about it, and would say that he, the emperor, could not tolerate his younger brother, and such things as the master of the earthquake, which would make him very shameless.

"Ning Junwang, your current fiefdom is gone. Is the offensive of Cao's House really that powerful? Isn't your army known as the most powerful army in the entire empire? I remember that none of my Wu Weijun was your cavalry Why is it that your army can’t even deal with the army of a mere commercial firm?” The emperor really couldn’t think of where to open his mouth to this guy, and he could only start when King Ning lost the land of the Eastern Empire. up.

"His Majesty the Emperor, the Cao's firm used some new weapons. The navy of my brother was the same as the other navy of the empire. They were all killed without going out. They all died very badly. Heroic, no one surrendered. As for the cavalry of Weichen, it was even more tragic. Although they did not win, all of this was not the fault of my subordinates. The gap between weapons and strategic thinking in the army is a bit big, so I won’t win. It’s not about other things. I am willing to accept any punishment. I just think that the court can send troops quickly. At that time, I am willing to be a pawn and quickly recover the land of our empire. We can also properly face the ancestors of our empire during the sacrifice." This guy took everything on his head with a roll of his eyes, no matter what you think, anyway, we But there is a good attitude of pleading guilty, and there is another thing that is the matter of the belly land. Naturally, King Ning knows that the imperial court has entrusted the place to Cao's business, and we also want to see if the emperor is a What do you mean? In fact, at this time King Ning still refused to admit defeat. I made His Majesty the Emperor ugly at this time. What is the difference from before? King Ning also regretted it after he finished speaking. This can only make His Majesty even more I hate myself, but I can't say it, so I feel uncomfortable. The fight between us is fine, no matter who wins, this thing belongs to our own people, but you colluded with outsiders, talking about the ancestors and ancestors At that time, he clearly saw the emperor on the stage move a little uncomfortable. Of course he was uncomfortable, and he might not have the face to sit on the stage.

"I've also looked at the problems on the front line, and it's not your business. The Cao's House is indeed a serious problem for us in the future. It's just that the loss of our empire has been too great recently. I have summoned several people just now. The generals have discussed this matter, and they all believe that the resources of all aspects of the empire are now in a decline, and the army has just recovered from the war against the Linghu family, and the rear is also somewhat unstable. It's not too peaceful over there, so it's better not to act rashly now. The court has already negotiated with the people of Cao's House of Commerce. After a while, we can study the tactics of Cao's House of Trade. At that time Just start the war, don't make unnecessary sacrifices." The emperor is the emperor, and the level of this speech is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, just like now, it is obviously an act of losing power and humiliating the country. How did it become like this? It’s like it’s someone else’s fault. Anyway, being an emperor doesn’t make mistakes. Others will blame you no matter what. Whatever you want to do is up to you The other thing, that is, King Ning dared to ask, but other people did not have the courage.

"King Ning, I won't go around here with you anymore. You must know what your situation is now. You just lost your fief. After all, we are all brothers. Brother Huang can't look at you without your own As for the territory, you still can’t go back to NW province for the time being, but I know that you will be there for eight years in ten years, and you may not be very used to the weather in the capital. So I Give you ten cities in the northern part of the nw province. In the past, you were a prince and I could give you a province. But now you are just a county king, and ten cities are very good, although these years The economic strength and population of the ten cities have begun to decline. But they are all on the coast, and they should do well. With your talents, you will definitely manage well there, because you will open up the situation. , so you will be exempted from all taxes within ten years." His Majesty the Emperor saw that King Ning was also slippery, and it was enough to turn him into a county king by himself. At this time, he wanted to catch more things. There are also some impossible things. If you think about it, forget it. I am too serious. If this division continues, it will be a matter of time before this kid dies there. It is also impossible for King Ning to escape again. , would Cao's House be willing? Will not.

King Ning knew what happened to those ten cities. It can be said that there are some abandoned cities. These cities were still very good 2000 years ago, but now there is no cultivated land and no population. The reason for this is all because I relied on my own power. At that time, the mine needed a large number of laborers, so I moved all these people to my province. It was because of this that this place was slowly abandoned. I came down, but I didn’t expect that I would have to pay back what I did at the beginning. I don’t know if I would regret it if I knew about it. Although this is the case, King Ning can still leave the capital alive. But I never thought that I would leave so easily, but when I arrived at those ten cities, it was a mortal situation, and it was impossible to get any better. I am too familiar with the area there. Since the whole nw province is It’s impossible for me to stay in the north of Cao’s House because it’s the territory of Cao’s House of Commerce. The most closely connected province of NW is the north. Since Cao’s House of Trade is a business house, I want to sell products In other words, I am definitely their roadblock. If they don’t do anything to me, I’m sorry for myself. Thinking of this, King Ning’s eyes dimmed. This guy is going to kill someone with a knife. It’s the same as last time, but even if it’s your plan No matter how good it is, everything is subject to change, and it won't let you succeed just like that.

Killing people with soft knives is something that King Ning can think of now. His Majesty the Emperor is too clear about his calculations. He doesn't want to be charged with killing his brother himself, so he has to use the hands of Cao's firm to get rid of himself. Fuck, this move is really too high, I will definitely make a difference when I get there, I will still have my own strength at sea, even my strength at sea is the greatest, and I still have more than The island land of 200 provinces still has a population of more than 10 billion, and there is even a lot of wealth. I can make a comeback, and I have also discovered a huge continent, which is as large as the size of the Western Empire. A big island, everything there is a blank, the land is fertile, definitely not that kind of barren land, as long as you can live well, who will own the world in the future, maybe it will be you Yes, but it may also be mine, all of which are unknown.

"What? Brother Huang, do you feel that the fief I gave you is not good? In fact, you also have to consider the internal affairs of the court. Recently, our empire has been weakened very badly. I have no choice but to be a brother. If you can If there are other ways, I wouldn't do that, but now I can only do it like this, I hope you can understand, many times, people in our royal family just want to do things that others can't do." The emperor looked King Ning didn't speak for a long time, he naturally thought that King Ning could go to that place, if King Ning didn't go. I don't know how I will go in the future.

In fact, the emperor wanted to kill King Ning a long time ago, but it was just a powerful move that made all this nothing. When the emperor's people wanted to kill King Ning, who stopped him? If you want to get news from the emperor and block the emperor's people to death, there may have been a Linghu family in the Eastern Empire in the past, but now the Linghu family is gone, and they don't have the ability to manage this. That's the only one left. That is the Magicians Guild of the Eastern Empire. Up to now, His Majesty the Emperor still remembers the scene where the head of the Magician's Guild came to him.

On that day, the subordinates reported that King Ning had successfully passed the province. His Majesty the Emperor was furious. He was so angry that he wanted to punish all the people below. It has been so many years. I have already gone through so many years. This is the time to wait. King Ning has already challenged his bottom line, and he can't continue to let him go on like this, he must give him a little more power. Who knows that I still can't do this thing, just when His Majesty the Emperor was about to attack his subordinates, the eunuchs outside said that the president of the Magician's Union had come, and such a person's status in the Eastern Empire was very high Yes, even if he is the emperor of the Eastern Empire, he doesn't need to kneel down.

"Hehe, why did today's matter fail? It turns out that the president is there, so I don't understand this matter. Isn't the magician's union led by the president never involved in the affairs of our royal family? What kind of price did King Ning set to get you to participate, can I give it to you too?" The emperor felt very angry at that time, and he knew it when he saw the president The matter may not be able to be done. The person in front of him has not made a move for three thousand years. The last time he made a move, he fought off a tenth-level monster with a tenth-level fighter. His strength is simply unfathomable. It is said that he is now He is already a tenth-level magician. Three thousand years ago, if we ranked the magicians on the entire continent, he could be said to be in the top three in the entire continent. Some people say that he has reached the number one position now. Well, it used to be said that the president of the magician union in the Southern Empire was the most powerful, but that old guy was dead more than a thousand years ago, so he is probably the most powerful now. For this person, the Eastern Empire The emperor did not dare to be negligent. When he was a prince when he was a child, he was the vice president of the magicians union. He has seen many more things than himself. Apart from being the emperor, there is no one else who can follow him. something he shows off.

"Your Majesty the Emperor is wrong. No one can ask our Magicians Guild to do anything. We will not participate in your royal family's struggle for power. We won't care about the past or the future. This time We are all doing this because of your father, Emperor Ailu’s will. You don’t even know about this, but I know. You should be able to clearly know that this is your father’s will. , Emperor Ailu is the greatest emperor in the history of our empire. When he was in power, our magicians union was all under the emperor. Why? Because he is a ninth-level peak magician, if he is not the emperor of the empire , the former chairman of the Magicians Union is also his. At the beginning, he was worried that King Ning was not your opponent, so he asked us to help King Ning once when necessary. King Bao Ning's ten-year life is now at that It's time, within ten years, I hope that His Majesty the Emperor can give face to your father and our Magicians Union. If His Majesty the Emperor insists on taking King Ning's life, then we have to announce this to the world. If His Majesty the Emperor can If the king of Baoning takes ten years, I will send this thing here in person in ten years, and there will be no such thing in the future." The old guy took out a yellow silk and said, it was indeed the last emperor of the Eastern Empire The handwritten note said that when King Ning fell out with the emperor, keep King Ning for ten years, and don't care about their affairs after ten years. The emperor never thought that there would be such a thing. If there is no such thing If so, it is estimated that King Ning may have died several times a long time ago, and how many assassinations have been arranged.

In today's society, the world is governed by benevolence and filial piety. If the emperor doesn't even respect the will of the old emperor, then there is no other way to say it. Although the old emperor said before that as long as King Ning does not rebel, the court will The emperor on the side can't play around, it has always been done like that. The common people also thought that it was King Ning who went too far, not the emperor, actually? The emperor is because of King Ning's own strength. Now that King Ning's two strongest strengths are gone, his own fiefdom and millions of troops have all been killed by the people of Cao's House of Commerce. What else? There is nothing left on those islands because of the blockade of Cao's House of Commerce, and it is impossible to get in touch with them. So now that the emperor dares to do it, King Ning has no ability at all. Yes, it's up to you how you want to do it. At this time, the Magician's Guild also came out. At that time, when the old emperor was dying, he thought of today. A person who can think of things ten thousand years later is really too powerful.

The obstruction of the Magicians Union is one aspect, if the emperor really wants to kill King Ning. Even if it is blocked by the Magicians Union, it may not be successful. The superficial strength of the emperor is still much stronger than that of the magician's union. The most important thing is this thing, if the emperor doesn't obey the old emperor's last order, it's nothing. This is unfilial, treasonous and immoral. If you are unfilial, how can you use it to educate the world? If this is the case, earth-shaking changes will take place in the ideological world of the entire empire in the future. It is for this reason that the emperor had to let King Ning continue to live, but he gave King Ning a good way, which is A dead end, King Ning blocked Cao's house from going north. At that time, he might still be killed by the people of Cao's house, and he killed people with a knife.

"Your brother obeys the decree." Even if King Ning is dissatisfied at this time, he must first agree to this matter, otherwise he will not know what is good and what is bad. At that time, the emperor would really have no way to punish himself Alright, the emperor smiled when he saw that King Ning had agreed to come down, now you are a bird without wings, just wait.

"I heard that the people under the emperor's subordinates were also damaged a lot during the war this time. I know that there will be a lot of troubles when the emperor arrives in the new fief. Why don't I just arrange a few people for the emperor here? They all I have followed me since I was a child, and most of them have some ability, the emperor should not give me face, if there is anything, just send them as hard as possible, their ability to handle affairs is also considered acceptable." He was really pressing every step of the way, and he was afraid that releasing King Ning out of the capital would be letting the tiger go back to the mountain, so someone must watch him, and there will be no mistakes if he looks at him rigorously.

So you can't wait to put people under your own hands? King Ning nodded helplessly. What choice does he have now? In the past, he thought that he would be trapped in the capital, and he would have many plans. His Majesty the Emperor also needs to consider the entire empire. Forbidden to go out and walk, I can be regarded as the county prince of the empire, how can I restrict my movements, although I have made some mistakes, but I have changed from a prince to a county king, what else can I do, I like it the most All his sons were killed by the emperor's brother, so he had to endure it. The person in front of him had never been his elder brother, and had always been his enemy. He was before, and he is still now.

"Brother Xie Huang is thinking about these things for my younger brother. Recently, due to the loss of the land of my ancestors, my younger brother's ability to handle affairs is not as good as before. Although I didn't have much ability in the past, but it is not as good as this time. The disaster I caused was serious, and it may have something to do with some people around me. I was worried about going to the fief this time to serve my younger brothers. Those people before me are useless. This time I have the emperor brother. Everything can be easily solved." King Ning could only knock out his teeth and swallow them quickly, otherwise he didn't know what to do, and if he waited a little longer, he might have to go up and give it to him. He slapped him, he has seen many shameless people, but it is rare to see such a person, the emperor of a country, even such a small matter must be arranged well, it is your best to let yourself have a bad life in the future Why did father choose someone like you to be the emperor's younger brother? I don't care about foreign enemies, but let me take care of my younger brother first. Even if we all quarrel, so what, at the end All of these are members of our own family. Although I don’t regard you as an older brother, and you don’t regard me as a younger brother, we are all of the same blood. What is the Cao’s House of Commerce? Wolf, you have led him to your own country now, and there will be times when you regret it later. At the beginning, the Southern Empire let the people from Cao's House of Commerce enter, but now many people regret it.

"Well, I see that the weather in the capital is also very humid recently. I don't need to go today. I'd better take a day off and go to Concubine Hui's Palace at night. I heard that her old man's health is not very good recently. I'm already Let the imperial doctor go over to see it. It seems that it is because of the age. If the emperor has time, I should just spend more time with him. In fact, I also hope that the emperor can stay in the capital, but there are so many things outside. I don’t feel comfortable entrusting it to someone else to be my brother, brother Dahu. I still need you to work harder.” The emperor’s younger brother said darkly. Concubine Hui is the biological mother of King Ning. Back then, the emperor's brother's biological mother died under the hands of this woman. In the past, because of this and that, this woman could do well in the harem. After the empress dowager left. Concubine Hui is the person with the highest seniority in the palace. Because of King Ning, the emperor's younger brother is also tolerant of Concubine Hui. This woman still doesn't know how capable she is. Intervening, it made the emperor's brother feel very uncomfortable. Now that it's all over, your son doesn't have that ability anymore. If you continue to keep you, we won't be the emperor anymore.

Hearing the emperor's younger brother mention Concubine Hui, King Ning's originally calm face was replaced by shock. That was his biological mother, who was also an eighth-level fighter. The only concubine in the royal family was an eighth-level fighter. What can we do now? An eighth-level fighter may live a good life in other places, but in the palace, if you pull out a random one, you may be an eighth-level fighter. The strength of an eighth-level fighter is incredible here. It's really not a rare thing, besides, the chances of the concubine to show up in the palace are relatively rare, if the emperor finds a chance to do something to the concubine, then no one will really pursue this matter, most of the Most people don't think what will happen to this matter, isn't she just a concubine, she should have withdrawn from the stage of history a long time ago, what are she doing now, and she doesn't see if she is that material.

"His Majesty the Emperor, I am too fat and old. I have not shown myself in front of people in recent years. I often miss the concubine when I am outside. If His Majesty allows it, I hope that I can Take the concubine to the fief to have a look, do you know what His Majesty means?" Although he knew it was impossible, King Ning still did not give up his last hope, and he couldn't help but watch his mother die. Then he died there, at the hands of the emperor. I didn't know when my son died, and now it's such a result, but I know it. If I don't do something, it's considered what?

Hehe, you are worried about your mother now. When you think about why my mother was killed thousands of years ago, it was not because he himself had just ascended the throne at that time, and the old emperor’s spiritual position had been cultivated for about a thousand years. At that time He actually let his mother die, saying that the old emperor loves his mother the most, and no empress dowager has ever been buried. It is a pity that the emperor's younger brother was too weak at that time, and there was a aunt in the harem , He will not let him have a queen dowager above him, so he can only let that queen dowager go down. That's it, the biological mother of the emperor didn't see the day when her son became the real emperor's younger brother. I entered the tomb with some regrets. Over the years, His Majesty the Emperor has never forgotten what his mother's eyes looked like that day. At that time, you mother and son may not have thought of what happened today, but in fact, Today has really come.

"Royal brother, I understand how you feel, but you also understand the truth that an old man is like a treasure in a family. She is not only your mother, but also the highest-ranking member of the royal family. The entire royal family still needs her to sit in charge." , Now she has lived in the palace for so many years, if she leaves so hastily, some things are unpredictable, especially the old concubine's body, it is not a joke, I think this will be the case for the time being , you are tired, go to the concubine's place." His Majesty the Emperor didn't say anything more about this matter, and directly asked King Ning to step down.

Although King Ning still wanted to say something, but seeing His Majesty's face was not very good-looking, he can't say anything now, it is already a good thing to be able to leave the capital alive, and he can ask for some what? If that's the case, I don't know what is good or bad, but seeing my mother die like that, I feel really uncomfortable in my heart.

The emperor looked at the background of King Ning's disappearance. Although he couldn't say how happy he was, he could tell that he was in a good mood. Brothers are sometimes brothers, but sometimes they are not brothers. Now, maybe it will be an enemy, just think that he is like King Ning, there are still many brothers among them alive, but most of them are the second-generation ancestors who eat, drink and play, and the capable ones are their brothers Two, if both of their brothers could put their minds on the country's major affairs, and there would be less intrigue like this, the current empire would definitely not be what it is now, but it's too late to talk about these things now , It's already reached this kind of endless situation, so what are you talking about?

King Ning walked the road from Qinzheng Palace to Chuxiu Palace many times before. The most time he walked was when he was a child. At that time, he himself was enlightened by the old emperor himself, and he would go to the study room to follow the old emperor every day. Studying, and then being sent back to his mother by the eunuchs, now that I think about that time, it was really good. Although I knew some dirty things in the palace at a very young age, no matter what, I didn’t need to worry about it at that time. My father cared about me, and my mother loved me a lot. That was the life of a family. It was not the same as now. Although I was a prince, I didn't even have a family member.

Although there are several sons and daughters of his own in the royal palace in the capital, they are all concubines, and the only ones he loves are those concubine children. He may have never even looked at these concubine children. If there are feelings, the emperor will also take advantage of this, so that his family will not be separated from the concubine and concubines in the future. How can such a family be better in the future?

But now he has no choice but to obey His Majesty's arrangement honestly. If there is something wrong, his own head will not be covered. (To be continued...)
