Chapter 1132: Inside and Outside the Car
The purple gold chariot was driven by eight dragon horses and drove rapidly towards the palace. There was a team of golden armored guards on each side, waiting for the assassin who was impossible to appear.
Of course it was impossible. Where the convoy passed, the five streets around were all cleared. Countless golden and silver armored guards were on guard, not to mention the secret agents of the Supervisory Department hidden in the dark. Anyone who wanted to assassinate at this time was simply seeking death. They could not even see the convoy. The outer defense layer could destroy them without leaving any residue.
Next to the carriage, Li Sinian followed on horseback. Seeing the clean streets and the neatly lined Dayan armored soldiers, the three of them felt as if they were in another world.
Who would have thought that they would have such a day?
In the past, even Fang Junnan and Liu Mingxiu, who were born in a big family, had the best fantasy of finding a big force like Taixu Palace to live with. But now, with the golden armored guards leading the way, he rode a dragon-blooded BMW that money couldn't buy towards the power center of Dayan. The surroundings were filled with awe-inspiring eyes that dared not look directly at him. Anyone would feel ups and downs in their hearts, and a kind of intoxicating sense of power would arise from their hearts.
No wonder so many people like to climb up. It has to be said that this sense of power is indeed very tempting. If they hadn't discussed such issues with Li Chuyi that day, they might have been in a trance now.
To be a human emperor or a god?
This question seemed simple that day.
Only when they were in this scene did they realize that this question was actually very difficult.
They were like this, and Li Chuyi in the chariot...
Well, the little fat man was still the little fat man, and he didn't feel shaken at all.
The street scenes on both sides could not shake his mind at all. Looking at the empty streets and the armored guards who looked like wooden men, he could only sigh in his heart.
In the eyes of others, this is the embodiment of power and the proof of his superiority.
But in his eyes, this is simply a cage, and each armor guard is a cage pillar, which not only trapped his freedom, but also locked them tightly.
If he was a mortal with a life span of only a few decades, he might feel that he is very special, special enough to be above everyone else, like most people.
But he is not, he is a cultivator, pursuing the way of heaven, and a cultivator of the true way of heaven. These things are really ridiculous in his eyes. He doesn't explore the beautiful world, doesn't comprehend the omnipresent truth of heaven, but wastes a lot of time in this small piece of land, scheming and trying desperately to get up, to be the shitty person above others. Isn't this ridiculous for a cultivator?
The person above others is an immortal.
And these people are just mortals who know how to practice.
Except for the great power that mortals don't have, but they can call the wind and rain to show the so-called miracles, they are actually no different from mortals, they are all ordinary people.
At this moment, Li Chuyi is very fortunate.
Although his life experience was so rough and bloody, he was extremely lucky to have a master like the Taoist priest.
In the past, he always thought that the Taoist priest was a heretic, with a completely different brain from normal people, and his thoughts were so different. He cursed when he saw the rich, the powerful, the poor, the hateful, and the pitiful, and he would call people "stupid donkeys" and "stupid geese" at every turn. He was so cynical that it was outrageous, as if he was the only smart person in the world and the others were shit.
It was not until he personally experienced so many ups and downs and saw so many worldly affairs that he realized that the Taoist priest was really right and that the Taoist priest did have the capital to be arrogant.
It had nothing to do with his cultivation, because the Taoist priest was sober, and it was very likely that he was the most sober person in the world.
With the careful teaching of the Taoist priest, he could grow up to be what he is now and look at these fascinating things from the most correct perspective.
If he hadn't had so many ups and downs, Emperor Yanling hadn't abandoned him, and his mother hadn't died, he would have been raised in the palace by the so-called "royal orthodoxy" of Dayan, and he would definitely be one of them now, and now he is a cold-eyed person.
This is called gain and loss, he deeply feels that he has gained much more than he has lost, and it is ten thousand times more precious.
But now, he is taking back what he has lost. Although this road is not what he wants to choose, and he has made full psychological preparations, but as the palace gets closer and closer, he still can't help but worry.
Agree to Emperor Yanling's conditions, rescue Hai Wufeng, and then pat his butt and leave to let Emperor Yanling go. This is easy to say, but it is even more difficult to think about it.
It is not difficult to rescue Hai Wufeng, but it is difficult for him to get out of it safely. The original plan was to use Mu Fangli's power to leave Dayan safely, but yesterday, old man Mu came to the door in person, and after a long talk after delivering clothes, he found that his grandfather actually agreed that he would succeed to the throne and take over Dayan.
To use Mu Fangli's original words, this is what should happen, Dayan should be his.
This made Li Chuyi's plan aborted, and he couldn't open his mouth several times when he wanted to speak. He had been here for quite a while, and he had understood Mu Fangli's temper quite well. He was sure that if he revealed his plan to Mu Fangli, the old man would definitely oppose it firmly.
It was then that he realized that Mu Fangli was not worried about him being designated as the eldest prince or the crown prince, but that he was worried that he would be assassinated by Emperor Yanling during this period. But if Emperor Yanling had no intention of murdering him, but instead protected him all the way to the throne smoothly, not only would Old Man Mu not object, but he would be the first to agree with it.
Thinking of giving his precious grandson a heavenly master, Old Man Mu was so excited that his eyebrows flew, and the little fat man scratched his scalp in distress, but he couldn't say his pain.
Fortunately, he didn't have only this way.
He always carried the golden cicada given to him by Qi Ri Chan, and if it didn't work, he would ask Qi Ri Chan for help. Zhiliao's network spread throughout the human world. Although this place is the core of Dayan, it shouldn't be difficult for Zhiliao to send a few people away from here.
And he suspected that Qi Ri Chan came to see him that day for this matter. Qi Ri Chan might have expected all this a long time ago, and gave him the golden cicada to help him get out of it and repay the favor of the Taoist priest.
That day, he refused to reveal Yu Yao's news to me, which proved this point. If he knew that Yu Yao was in the Zhenxi Palace that day, he would definitely kill her without saying anything. Without Mu Fangli's support and the attitude of Emperor Yanling, it is difficult to determine how Yuwen Taihao will treat me. He may kill me directly, or he may treat me with courtesy and then deny it. In short, I absolutely do not have the capital to force him to tell the truth, and the ending will definitely not be as appropriate as it is now.
Qi Ri Chan must be afraid that I will make a fool of myself, so he rejected it outright and refused to give in to any conditions I put forward. The more Li Chuyi thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was right, but he hesitated again when he held the golden cicada.
You must be on guard against others. The Taoist never mentioned Qi Ri Chan in detail. The relationship between the two was all said by Qi Ri Chan's family. Li Chuyi was not sure whether the other party's words were true. He wanted to ask the Taoist but had no place to ask.
The most important thing is that the Seven-Day Cicada never showed its true face from beginning to end, and later used strange means to clear the memory of Li Sinian and others. How could Li Chuyi trust him and dare to entrust such an important matter to him?
Therefore, the Seven-Day Cicada can only be the last alternative, the final choice when there is no other way. If there is any way, Li Chuyi will not take the initiative to contact him.
The water is too deep, the Seven-Day Cicada is too weird.
Bang bang bang.
There was a knock on the window, and Li Sinian's voice came in: "Fatty, someone just came to say that we are almost at the palace gate, and asked you to pack up and prepare."
"Prepare for a fart, and let me kneel down three times and kowtow all the way in with great courtesy?"
"That person didn't mention this, but if it's true, will you kneel?"
"What do you think?" The little fat man rolled his eyes.
Li Sinian paused, as if thinking seriously, and then whispered: "Well...if it's true, are you going to turn back? If they don't let you, are you going to fight your way out? If so, you should tell me earlier, I'll make preparations, and I'll run away first when the fight starts, and then bring people back to save you!"
I really want to kick Li Sinian in the face, but the little fat man suppressed his anger and said gently: "Uncle Four, don't worry, they have more people, we won't fight today, we will convince them with reason."
"That's what I want you to say!" Li Sinian breathed a sigh of relief.
But the little fat man didn't finish, and then he said in a gentle voice: "By the way, I forgot to tell you, I am not the eldest prince, and the eldest prince must have a few followers around him, right? Now the little master... No, now this prince will let you be the first-class sword-bearing guard in front of this prince's seat, and also the housekeeper and accountant. From now on, you will be my spokesperson. I won't show up if you have to kneel down and kowtow to me. You can go on my behalf."
"Fuck!"
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me, there is still something missing for you."
As he said, he took out a pen and paper, and wrote the ugly word "Li" in a flamboyant style. After thinking about it, he rubbed it hard a few times and spit a few times, then opened the window and threw it out.
"This is a token given to you by this prince. Seeing him is like seeing me. Remember to hang it in the most obvious place on your body, otherwise you can't show your status as Lord Li!"
"Your uncle!"
The sound of tearing paper came, and the little fat man laughed secretly. After bickering with the fourth uncle, his mood suddenly improved a lot.
But thinking of his suspicion just now, he started to worry again.
Wouldn't he really be asked to kneel down and kowtow three times and nine times to get in?
Just as he was worrying, he heard a nod, and then the heavy sound of the door opening. The motorcade passed through the palace gate unimpeded and drove towards the "Dingtian Hall" where the court meeting was held.
At this time, the Dingtian Hall was silent.
On the throne platform three people high, Emperor Yanling sat on the dragon chair, and under the golden and white jade crown decorated with precious beads, his eyes seemed to be closed, and the eunuchs who attended him bent their bodies and stood still.
On the lower floor, General Xiong and Old Wen stood silently on their right hands, while Dayan Tianshi Mu Fangli sat on his left hand with an expressionless face. In the entire Dingtian Hall, except for Emperor Yanling, he was the only one who dared to sit. Even his close confidants such as General Xiong and Old Wen did not have such treatment. Of course, no one felt that there was anything wrong with this.
There were no court officials on the third floor, only the imperial guards stood in awe with swords in hand, and the rest of the court officials stood silently below, not daring to move, only their eyes silently scanning everyone.
Suddenly, a young eunuch walked into the hall quickly, came to the throne, knelt on the ground, performed a great ceremony, and then reported in a shrill voice: "Your Majesty, the eldest prince wants to see you!"
"Announce!"
As soon as the word came out, Emperor Yanling suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the direction of the palace door, his eyes full of urgency, expectation, excitement, hesitation, and various emotions mixed together to the extreme complexity.
At the same time, all the court officials in the palace also looked sideways, especially the princes and princesses at the head of the team, all staring at the palace door.
I have heard about the eldest prince for so long, and today I can finally see him in person!
