Woke up every morning by my boss

The new emperor of the Li Dynasty is a mediocre person, without the strong and decisive demeanor of his father. It's really God's love.

"My father is so useless, it is really not easy for the Li Dynasty to persist until my brother succeeds to the throne."

"To be honest, I haven't seen a few sons comment on their father like this. Are you really sure that you are his own?"

"If it's true, you can't suspect that my mother is cheating!" Although Queen Xing was the daughter of a military general before entering the palace, she strictly abides by etiquette and never exceeds the rules after entering the palace. , keeping the entire harem in good order, her own degree of self-discipline is exactly the same as her style of acting.

"That's right." Lang Kun nodded, feeling that he had made a slip of the tongue just now, so he changed the subject and said, "The thing you said just now made you recognize the true face of Brother Huang. What is it?"

"Oh, this..." Huo Xing snorted inexplicably, "Speaking of which, I can't blame him entirely. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have met you, and it wasn't all a bad thing."

Lang Kun quietly looked at Huo Xing for a while, and said, "But your expression and your eyes tell me that you really mind this matter."

"..."

Huo Xing raised his hands and said, "Well, you know me best."

"So taking advantage of the good timing today, why don't you just finish talking at once, so that I will find a chance to ask later, and you have to spend time cultivating your relationship."

"Can I decline this offer?"

"Obviously not." Lang Kun raised his chin, with an expression of "we'll sleep in separate rooms if you don't tell me".

"When I was young, I was actually quite simple."

Huo Xing thought for a long time and suddenly said such a sentence, which made Lang Kun stunned for a moment, and then said: "I can't see it."

"..."

"Brother Da Huang and I were both born in the Prince's Mansion. Although this is not a special factor, I don't know why. Among the many brothers and sisters, I am the closest to him. Even if I get along well with other brothers and sisters, but in my heart I trust and rely on him the most.”

"We studied and practiced martial arts together, and I often went to play in Concubine Yu's palace. Even though the situation in the court was turbulent, the papers for making me the crown prince could be piled up like a hill on my father's desk every day, but my closeness to him His affection has not been halved, and even in my heart, he is the most suitable person to inherit the throne."

"I thought those ministers would give up their advice in the end and would recognize Brother Dahuang's strength. I can see how strong he is."

Lang Kun: "But those ministers didn't. They still think bloodline is more important than ability."

"That's right! In their eyes, my father is such a mediocre person who can manage the country, so what does it matter if the next emperor can control the overall situation?"

"If this game falls on a prince who is as useless as the emperor, then the court will always belong to the courtiers." Lang Kun said sharply.

"You're right. Those courtiers think that I'm as moderate as my father, and that I'm easier to control than my father. Putting me on the throne can not only satisfy their selfish desires, but also please my mother and grandfather. They don't know that I have no intention of being emperor. I want to pretend to be stupid Being an idle prince, I didn't expect that it would be a reason for them to cut off the way of the eldest brother."

"Tsk tsk, you have really worked so hard to win brother emperor to the throne. But I think there is a better way, why not?"

"You mean to let your grandfather publicly side with the First Prince?"

"It's not impossible..."

"Wouldn't that be a slap in the face to my mother? Actually, my mother has no intention of letting me inherit the throne. She also wants to be indifferent to the desire for power. She insists on the throne of the queen, but it is actually just for me, for the Xing clan. If Grandfather is standing in the team of big emperor brother, and the Xing clan has become a big joke in the court."

Lang Kun actually still doesn't understand this very well. Sometimes the world of human beings is far more complicated than that of demons.

The court begged the emperor to appoint the second prince as the prince as soon as possible. The emperor was overwhelmed by the disturbance, and cut off a few jumping up and down to warn others. Unexpectedly, this method really worked—those people supported Huo Xing It's just for the glory and wealth. If life is gone, what do you want those glory and wealth for?

However, the farce for a period of time finally caused certain consequences. There was a rumor in private in the harem that the second prince had no intention of taking the throne. It's just to let the elder brother numb his consciousness and consciously give up the fight for the throne.

There was a court lady who was favored by the emperor once and thought that she would fly on a branch and become a phoenix. She said something vicious and spread throughout the harem, "This second prince is really powerful. He has such deep thoughts at a young age and knows how to win people's hearts. Using some hypocrisy and hypocrisy as benefits to force the First Prince to give up without bloodshed, it's really amazing!"

On the surface, they were talking about the words of the second prince Huo Xing, but they were actually aimed at the queen. Who could not hear it?

Not to mention that the second prince is not too old and has no insidious intentions, and he really does not covet the throne, and he is really close to Concubine Yu and the elder brother on weekdays, saying that he used the policy of softness to force the elder brother to give up competing for the crown prince. The words of the position are all insinuations that this method was taught by the Queen Xing, implying that the Queen is a scheming villain, seemingly indifferent but actually cold-blooded.

The person who said this sentence had a heart, and the listener naturally had more heart. I don't know if there was a seed sprouting in his heart. After that, Tuoba Jian's attitude towards Huo Xing became cold.

Huo Xing didn't understand at that time, so he chased Tuoba Jian to ask, but the other party only said that the princes still need to avoid some taboos, and it would be better to see each other less in the future.

The talkative maid was naturally dealt with by Queen Xing. She didn't like to kill innocent people indiscriminately, but she never tolerated people who like to stir up trouble.

"Afterwards, the relationship between Brother Dahuang and I really faded, and we couldn't say a few words for a year, and we only exchanged a few words at the palace banquet every year, and we didn't even smile in our hearts."

"Later, your father still made him the crown prince?"

"No."

"That……"

"I don't know what my father is thinking. The day when the elder brother will leave the palace to build a mansion is getting closer, but he has no intention of establishing a heir. He has made those ministers anxious to remonstrate again regardless of the danger of death. Word."

"Father was probably annoyed by them, and seeing that it was impossible not to make a statement, he promised to give an answer within three days, but before he could make a decision, another major matter was on his desk. Flooded farmhouses and fields, even several small towns were flooded, people were displaced, and people were drowned or starved to death every day."

"Flooding? Then send someone to control the flood!"

"Do you think my father's mind is so clear?" Huo Xing shook his head, "He is a useless piece of trash. When encountering major incidents, he will either be violently suppressed or have no master. If Brother Dahuang hadn't thought of a 'good way' for him, he They almost hanged themselves.”

Huo Xing's tone was sarcasm, and Lang Kun felt his scalp tighten when he heard it, feeling that it was not a good thing.

"Tuobajian's method is not the kind that kills people..." And it still takes Huo Xing's life.

"It's just as you think. The elder brother advised the father that the flood in the south has been uneven for several months. The reason is that the river god was furious because he hadn't received sacrifices for many years. We only need to throw sacrifices to calm the anger of the river god. To prevent flooding."

Speaking of this, it seemed that he was really depressed. Huo Xing got up and crossed Lang Kun, took out a pack of cigarettes from his bedside table, took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff, "This thing invented by human beings, sometimes It really works.”

"..."

"Father is going to ask someone to do it right away, but Brother Dahuang said, the river god is so powerful that a few storms and waves drowning so many people can't appease his anger. I'm afraid the method of offering sacrifices to ordinary people won't work. , it must be sacrificed with the blood of the royal family to be effective."

After hearing this, Lang Kun gasped, feeling a little stuffy in his chest, so he followed Huo Xing's example and lit a cigarette.

"No, I have to smoke a cigarette slowly." After finishing speaking, he added: "Why don't you talk about it, this is too fucking..."

He really didn't expect that what Huo Xing had experienced was such a thing, and what he thought was too simple.

Huo Xing smoked a cigarette silently, and continued: "Brother Da Huang said that not only the prince should be used as a sacrifice, but also a prince with a high enough status. I was there when he said these words. I was really... very angry at that time." Oh but keep smiling!"

"...Please don't act cute when you are so serious, okay?"

"But it's impossible for me to cry and tell you about it."

Later, Huo Xing's father really listened to Tuoba Jian's words, and ordered the eldest prince to be the priest, carrying countless gold, silver and jewels, and went to the river to worship the river god. The most important thing was to use Huo Xing as a sacrifice to the river god .

"That's a really good idea, isn't it? Kill me in the name of calming the anger of the River God, so that he can enter the East Palace logically, not to mention that my father doesn't like my mother and me in the first place, and there is no reason to get rid of us. , Isn’t this time just right? It can not only block the mouths of many people, but also logically make the eldest brother the crown prince, a good strategy that kills two birds with one stone.”

"Your father doesn't only have you two children, does he? What about the other brothers and sisters? Can't you use them as sacrifices?" Although I know this kind of statement is vicious, it is also true. Why does Huo Xing have to be used?

"Brother Emperor's reason is very simple. If you look around, only I am the empress's son, and I have a noble status. The other princes' mothers are all low-status and not qualified."

Hearing this, Lang Kun was really laughed out of anger, is it really reasonable to seek wealth and murder?He, Tuoba Jian, is also the prince, or the eldest prince, why should he remove himself from this matter?The low status of the mother's family can be used as an excuse?It's ridiculous!

"What about your mother?"

"She always wanted to protect me, but unfortunately...maybe it was God's will, my grandfather passed away shortly before the flood, and my father took back the military power. My mother's status in the palace suddenly became delicate. At that time, there were quite a few harem women who came to provoke me."

"But in the end she failed to save me, for which she blamed herself deeply. On the day before I was sent to sacrifice, she was allowed to be a mother for the last time. She was dressed in white, heroic and extremely gentle, hugged me and said I'm sorry, hugged me and said that she would go one step ahead of me, this dirty palace, don't mind."

His mother's white clothes were dyed blood red, Huo Xing didn't cry, he burned his mother's body on fire, took the ashes with him, and left nothing to the palace.

After that, things were not so ups and downs. Huo Xing was escorted to the river. After a series of tedious procedures, Tuobajian ordered to sacrifice to the river god. Gold and silver treasures were thrown into the river, and delicacies were not spared. Difficult, the one who was finally pushed to the river was Huo Xing, who was tied up with five flowers. He couldn't even turn his head to look at the big brother who was once close but now wanted to kill him, so he was thrown into the river.

The river was cold and ruthless, and Huo Xing was submerged in an instant. He felt difficult to breathe, his lungs were burning, and then he passed out.

"You also know what happened afterwards. I was rescued by you. At first I thought I had entered the underworld after my death. Later, I realized that I had strayed into the Demon Realm. I didn't expect that the road was connected to the Demon Realm."

After hearing these, Lang Kun couldn't help sighing, lamenting the wonder of fate.

"Later, I secretly went back to the imperial palace to see that the great emperor brother indeed succeeded to the great rule and carried forward the Li Dynasty, but for some unknown reason, he did not give birth to any heirs. Not long after his death, the dynasty was overthrown. It was destroyed in an instant."

The room fell silent, Lang Kun crushed out the cigarette butt, turned off the bedside lamp, and said softly, "Go to sleep, you are tired."

"Ah."

Huo Xing lay down as he said, and the two of them leaned together and fell asleep with each other's thoughts.

Early the next morning, Lang Kun notified Sun Yan'an and sent someone to monitor Ouyang Jian 24 hours a day.

"Spy on him? Are you sure?"

"I'm sure." Lang Kun said firmly: "I think there is something wrong with him. He looks exactly like your emperor brother, and even has the same word in his name, and he appears so suspiciously next to Yue Zhen. Don't be more careful. I won't." rest assured."

"Well, you decide."

The monitoring of Ouyang Jian officially started. Sun Yanan would send the monitoring results to Lang Kun every few days. If there was anything special, he would report it on the spot. I have done any outrageous things, and I have not been to any strange places. It is almost two points and one line in my work unit.

On this day, Huo Xing was sorting out the information collected during his business trip, and it happened that several local clothes shoppers sent him some information one after another, and he was trying to gather them together in an attempt to analyze something.

Lang Kun had nothing to do, so he leaned on the sofa and read a geographical magazine. It happened that the magazine was talking about some scenery and folk customs in Yunnan-Guizhou area, and Lang Kun read it with gusto.

"This place is so beautiful, Huo Xing, when are we going to travel?" Lang Kun suggested casually.

"Okay, where to go?"

Lang Kun put the magazine in front of Huo Xing, "Here, here."

Huo Xing only took one look, then his expression changed.

"What's the matter with you?" Lang Kun noticed something strange and hurriedly asked.

"Here...the place in this photo looks familiar."

"Ok?"

Huo Xing took the magazine and looked at it carefully, and then said: "This is the ancient capital of the Li Dynasty. Not far from here is the place where I was sacrificed. Although the river there was diverted and the river bed was dry, it could lead to The cracks in the Demon Realm are still there."

!!!

Lang Kun got excited immediately, "Really? Can I go and have a look?"

"Of course, we can actually return to the Demon Realm through here, but we can't move around in a large area."

What Huo Xing said was conservative, but these were enough for Lang Kun. When he left the Demon Realm in a hurry, he didn't even have time to look back. After being away from home for many years, why didn't he want to go back and take a look?A wish that was originally thought to be difficult to achieve is actually easily accomplished!

"You already knew that you could return to the Demon Realm here?"

"Well, I occasionally go back and have a look these years, thinking that even if I can't do anything, at least I will guard this place for you and prevent it from disappearing."

The two made a decision, and immediately reported their whereabouts to Wan Lijiang, ready to set off.

Before setting off, Huo Xing said: "You'd better be mentally prepared, maybe the environment in Demon Realm is not good."

"It's okay, I can take it."

"Yue Zhen also left a residence in the Demon Realm. If you want to stay there for a while, we can spend the night in his house."

"Okay, listen to you."

The two cleaned up briefly. This time, without using any means of transportation, they turned into two giant beasts and rushed out of the headquarters building.

Wanlijiang: "..."

These two people really don't think it's a big deal, isn't it just to go home to visit relatives, or should they be so vigorous that they even show their bodies?

Isn't that right, Mozun is going home to visit his relatives, can we not have some ostentation?

And this is the first time he has returned to the Demon Realm in so many years. Under the nervous and agitated mood, how can he have the time to use human vehicles, compared to running on four legs, the speed of human vehicles is too slow, okay?
