Suo Diling

After the winter solstice, Udun's army marched southward and fought against the Northwest Marquis Bai's army in the Sunset Hebei. Xiao Mo, as the general of Gyeonggi, had the responsibility of guarding the imperial capital, and led the Gyeonggi army to support him. Xiao Jing asked himself to accompany him as a military adviser. Stay in court.It has been more than two months since Ju Xiaolan disappeared during his northern tour, and there is no news about his whereabouts or life or death.It has become a trend for Xiao Du to proclaim himself emperor, and the voices in the court calling for his early ascension to the throne to stabilize people's hearts are getting louder and louder. Even Xiao Lan arranged for Taiji Yu, who is behind the curtain to listen to the government, to take some kind of medicine, and wrote a book asking him to succeed to the throne.

However, Xiao Du rejected Yu Taiji's letter in public, and only replied with one word: wait.

The court guessed that he was loyal and filial and did not want to violate the etiquette. Of course he had to wait for news from Xiao Lan, but the handwritten letter with only this one word was sent to Xiao Yu's mansion by the court messenger.

What he was waiting for was not Xiao Lan, nor the result of the battle between Wu Dun and the Bai family army, but what he was waiting for was me.

I know I can no longer avoid it.If he can only defend and fail to advance, Xiao Du will proclaim himself emperor and turn the entire court upside down. Maybe the century-old foundation of the Xiao Dynasty will be ruined by this little bastard of mixed blood.I don't want to be like this, I don't want to end up in a situation where I lose everything.

If you don't go on the wrong way, maybe you can turn the situation back.

On the night of New Year's Day, I boarded the carriage sent by Xiao Du to meet me.The carriage left through the west gate, entered the north main gate, and returned to the city with great fanfare, claiming that the Supreme Emperor had returned from the enemy camp in Wudun, bringing news of the emperor's death.It was only at this moment that I suddenly realized that the sudden death of Wuxie King, Wudun's rebellion, and Xiao Lan's northern tour were all set up by Xiao Du and Qi Guo.

Xiao Du is an ambitious wolf.

The chariot slowly stopped in front of Jiuyao Hall.I raised my head and looked at Xiao Du standing on the Danqi along the red felt that was spread to my feet.I haven't seen him in just three months, but his figure has become much taller and taller. Wearing a black gold gown suit and an imperial crown on his head, he is already dressed like an emperor, and he has completely transformed into a mature man full of majesty.I just remembered that he was almost full.

"Welcome the Supreme Emperor back to the palace—"

I got out of the chariot amidst the shouts that resounded through the sky, and slowly climbed up the steps.

It's snowing all over the sky, and the ground is white.

The imperial guards stand on both sides of the red felt, their armor is distinct, and the blade of the sword in their hands is light and cold.

All the officials of the imperial court knelt side by side under the altar, with their hats upturned, silent as if they were chilling cicadas.

This is Xiao Du's court, not mine.

I walked under the alchemy, the Shangfang sword in my hand came out with a clang, under the moonlight, the blade was like a rainbow, illuminating Xiao Du's face.He stared at me, expressionless except for a slightly raised eyebrow, waiting to see what I was going to do.I walked up to Dan Chi, turned around, and looked down at the officials.

"All ministers, listen up, your majesty, has been killed by Wu Dun."

There was an uproar below.

I raised my voice and raised Shangfang's sword: "Before he died, the emperor had a secret conversation with Gu. He suspected that someone in the court was colluding with Wudun and cooperated with the inside and outside, so he gave Gu Shangfang the sword and sent someone to help Gu escape from the enemy camp. Now Gu has returned to the palace smoothly. , I want to fulfill the emperor’s last order, eliminate the treacherous ministers who collaborate with the enemy and treason in the court, assist the prince Xie to manage the court, expel the foreign enemies from the country, and boost my reputation!"

As soon as this remark came out, the uproar stopped abruptly, and a wave of exciting voices resounded again.

I turned around and looked at Xiao Du, and saw him staring at me blankly.This little wolf cub has never seen me in a sickly state, but never in a majestic state, so he was probably a little surprised.

I am the youngest and outstanding emperor of the Xiao family's royal family for a hundred years, and I will not be bound by him for long.

I don't want to come back to the emperor's stage at this time and be a puppet emperor, but I can't let Xiao Du be the emperor, I would rather let the throne hang for now.I stared at Xiao Du, and said word by word: "The emperor's bones are not yet cold, and it is not suitable for the crown prince to inherit the great power in this chaotic period. You should..."

Before I finished speaking, I saw Xiao Du stepping forward, grasping the blade of Shang Fang's sword, and knelt down, a stream of blood overflowed from between his fingers, I just took a look, and my throat seemed to be frozen.

For the past three months, the thirst for blood has tormented me day by day, making it difficult for me to sleep or eat.

He looked up at me with a defiant smile.Is he trying to piss me off?

"It is indeed inappropriate for Xiao Wang to inherit the great line at this time. Xiao Wang thinks that he is not capable enough, and he is far from the emperor's uncle. I voluntarily hand over the important responsibility of the king to the emperor's uncle. I hope that the emperor will live up to his father's entrustment."

I was speechless, furious, Xiao Du stood up, and with a wave of his hand, four eunuchs came from both sides, holding the crimson imperial robe of twelve golden dragons, nine luminaries and seven stars in their hands.

In the light of the fire, it looks like a cloud of burning clouds, which is dazzling.

I have longed for it for so long that when they put it on me, I couldn't refuse. Xiao Du personally helped me walk into the gate of Jiuyao Palace, climbed slowly to the Longchi, and sat on the resplendent and golden throne superior.When my back was pressed against the embossed backrest, I felt it was as hot as a branding iron, melting my muscles and bones, as if I were being tortured, and it made me unable to extricate myself.Xiao Du put my hands on the armrests on both sides, and I couldn't help but hold them firmly in my palms.

I watched him stand up, take off the crown from his head, and put it on my head.

There was a moment of silence below, and all civil and military officials were shocked by this scene.

He didn't hold the ceremony of proclaiming to heaven, and didn't announce to the world, he just sent me to the emperor's platform openly like this.

Hearing doubts gradually sounded from below, I just woke up like a dream, and grabbed Xiao Du's sleeve: "Do not follow the etiquette, act boldly, disregard rules and regulations, do you want everyone in the world to laugh at Gu?"

"It's time to call me, Uncle Emperor." Xiao Du leaned closer to my ear, "I am the one who disobeys etiquette, I am the one who acts recklessly, I am the one who disregards rules and regulations, I am the one who is disloyal and unfilial, and it is I who will be laughed at and scolded by the world." I am also the one who will leave a bad reputation for thousands of years. As long as I can fulfill the wish of the emperor, what is there to be afraid of?"

His tone was like swearing, like swearing, my heart trembled, but he laughed, laughing wantonly.

"Uncle Huang, with the dragon robe added, it's time to get married."

"You..." I was at a loss for words for a while, and could only squeeze out one word.

He lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt down: "My emperor, long live long live long live long live."

There was a silence below, and then, the voices were like a flood, and they all shouted this sentence.

I gritted my teeth, knowing that the overall situation has been settled, I stood up from the throne and said, "Everyone is flat."

This day is the New Year's Day of the seventh year of Yong'an, and I will return to the Emperor's Terrace, with the title of Yongling. Xiao Du gave up the position of crown prince and proclaimed himself Regent.

When I was a child, the ceremony to welcome me back to the palace was finally over.

The officials dispersed one after another, only Xiao Du remained.The door of the palace was slowly closed, and the curtains on the four sides were also lowered. The candles in the palace were extinguished one by one by the palace people, leaving only the row under Longchi.

I sat still on the dragon chair, looking down at him coldly, to see what he would do to me.

In this solemn and solemn hall, the heroic spirits of Xiao's ancestors are all here, looking at me and him.

Seeing Xiao Du pushing up the steps step by step, untiing his belt with one hand and tearing open his skirt with the other, I was so startled that I drew my sword and pointed it at his chest, and sternly shouted: "Xiao Du! Do you have any sense of shame?"

He tore open his skirt, revealing his heart, where there was a hideous scar.

"Before three months, I was seriously injured and was dying. Why didn't the emperor come to see me?"

"Gu... I don't know if it's another trap you set up?"

"Uncle Emperor, I am sitting on the position of crown prince, and I am also in charge of supervising the country, how many people in the court want to kill me?" Xiao Du raised the corner of his mouth, "If I really die, you won't feel a little bit sad? Anyway I'm dead, and my eldest brother Huang, didn't the uncle coax him to death?"

"Where are you thinking? Xiao Yu and Xiao Yu are completely clear-cut, and there is no ambiguity. Do you think that everyone is you, and will have delusional thoughts about your own uncle... that shouldn't be there?"

Xiao Du snorted, approached a little closer, and put his chest against my sword point: "I know that the emperor's uncle is a ruthless person, but is Xiao Yu interested? The emperor's uncle faces him day and night, can't you tell? If not I have gone so far and forced the Yue family to make concessions, Xiao Yu is still hiding the emperor's uncle in the mansion. Did the emperor's uncle originally plan to side with him, and from now on... avoid me? It's a pity , From now on, my uncle and I will bow our heads and see each other when we look up."

I was so angry that my hands trembled, the tip of my sword trembled, and I wished I could stab him to death: "Bastard..."

Xiao Du didn't retreat or evade, instead he held the tip of the sword: "Slay the rebellious ministers up, behead the rebel generals down, come on."

I grasped the hilt of my sword: "Aren't you a rebellious minister by sending so many courtiers to prison in the face of a national crisis?"

"A bunch of ignorant old and corrupt Confucians. If they were there, Mian Kingdom would only stagnate and live in the hinterland of the Central Plains. It would never be able to become a powerful country and unify the North, South and Western Regions."

I was stunned for a moment, I didn't expect Xiao Du to say that, but in a flash I realized that it was extremely absurd, Mian Kingdom's political system really needs to be reformed, I really want to unify the small countries in the surrounding borders, but how could Xiao Du think about Mian Kingdom?He has done so many things in the dark, and he is the blood of the queen of the country...

Thinking of the past when Ulan lost my hand, I let go of my hand, and the sword fell to the ground with a clang.

Xiao Du was able to step on Longchi and came to me: "Uncle Huang couldn't bear to kill me."

His tall figure stood in front of him, covering all the light, and he bent down. I suffocated for a while, and shouted: "Kneel down! I am the king, you are the minister, before the throne, how dare you be so presumptuous?"

He knelt down, but held the armrest with both hands, trapping me on the dragon chair.

"Uncle Emperor, I know your ambitions, and I am willing to be a courtier to help you rule the world. However, if you want me to be a courtier, honors and rewards are not enough. You have to tie my ambition and talent well. I am indeed unparalleled in the world. It is unique, and the emperor knows it too."

He stretched out his hand towards my chest, and I leaned back on the back of the chair, my heart covered by his palm.

"Uncle Huang, this place under your heavy helmet...is there a person you can accept?"

The scorching temperature of his palm burned me, and my heart trembled suddenly.

Where can I tie Xiao Du?Instead, he tied me to this dragon chair and trapped me in the palace.Just thinking about it, he touched my face, and the blood stained by his fingertips caressed my lips. I couldn't help but grabbed his hand and licked it like a wolf.Xiao looked at me alone, still kneeling, but with the other hand he lifted the hem of my dragon robe, pulled off my boots, and threw them aside.

"Uncle Huang, I'm eighteen, I want to be presumptuous."
