Lanling

Chapter 64 Ghost Country

Crying sounded in his ears, Lan Ling opened his eyes, and found himself lying in a curtain, with a yellow silk satin covering his body, and a handkerchief soaked in cold water on his forehead, what's wrong?Are you dreaming?But where did the young master go?He stretched out his hand to feel the place beside him, it was empty, he was startled suddenly, got up, looked around with his eyes, carved dragons and embroidered doors, Jinge Yuyu, what kind of place is this, this room is square and huge, except for him There was a long sandalwood table on the bed under him, and an incense burner on the table. A faint fragrance came from it. Lan Ling inhaled lightly, it was agarwood.Where is it so elegant?Could it be that he crossed over again?No, it must be a surprise from the young master.

At this moment, he couldn't care less about being happy, he just wanted to get up and look for Ye Ming, but before he could go out, he heard the door being pushed open, and two girls in Tsing Yi walked in, both with their horns combed, their eyes very sharp. Clever, just looking childish, still a little childish, when they saw Lan Ling get up, one stepped forward to greet him, the other turned around and went out, shouting: "His Royal Highness is awake!"

Prince?Lan Ling paused, what's going on?Can't time travel again?He hurriedly withdrew his mind, since he had already worn it once, he wouldn't be so surprised now, but why did it happen again?Where did the young master go?

"His Royal Highness, are you alright?" The girl came towards Lan Ling and asked very gently, her eyebrows were pleasing to the eye, and she was extremely respectful.

Lan Ling couldn't get used to it, and hurriedly said, "It's okay, what kind of place is this?"

The girl was startled, and hurriedly knelt down, "His Royal Highness, what's wrong with you?"

"I don't remember the past." Lan Ling said.

"What?" The girl sat down, so frightened that she didn't dare to breathe, her whole body trembled.

After a while, a group of people walked over.

Walking in the middle was a middle-aged man wearing a dragon robe with a tall bun. His face was majestic, his figure was burly, and he was imposing. He must be the emperor, but why did he wear it in ancient times?Lan Ling had no time to think about it, the emperor Lao Tzu had already walked towards him.

"The emperor is here!" The eunuch at the front stopped at the threshold and yelled.

Although the emperor looked serious, he spoke very gently. Before the attendants saluted, he waved his hand and said, "Go out first!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Sure enough, this is the emperor, but it is not as scary as it looks in the TV series, but like a kind old father. Maybe the beauty products here are too backward, and the maintenance is not enough. I always feel that the emperor is about to die like.

"Yu'er!"

Lan Ling was taken aback, what Yu'er?

"Excuse me, what is this place?" Lan Ling asked.

"Yu'er, what's wrong with you?" The emperor was taken aback, looking at his son as if dreaming, "You are in the palace now, son!"

"You are my father?" Lan Ling asked.

The emperor nodded happily, his eyes lit up, as if he had never heard this word before, "Yes, emperor, I am your father, you call my father Huang!"

"But why can't I remember anything?"

"Last year, you had a serious illness and lay in bed for almost a year. You just woke up today. Both your mother and I were terrified!" The emperor grabbed Lan Ling's hand.

"Then when is this?"

"In the 23rd year of the Kaiyuan period of the Ghost Country, I had you with your mother when I was 20 years old. The name was Shangguan Yu. Because you were the only son, I was conferred the title of Crown Prince, Prince Zhaoming."

Ghost country?Lanling never knew what country this was, maybe it was a dynasty forgotten by history.

"Father!" Lan Ling said.

When the old emperor heard it, he burst into tears, "The emperor has suffered!"

Lanling talked with the old emperor for a while, and learned that he was the founding emperor of this ghost country, with the reign title of Kaiyuan, and his name was Shangguanwen.

In the words, Shangguan Wen saw that Lan Ling was tired, so he told him to rest well and arranged for a maid to come in to take care of him. As soon as he went out, Lan Ling immediately sat up.

"Your Highness!" A maid stepped forward, holding a cup of tea.

"I don't want to drink water right now."

"Your Highness, this is a golden silk cup. It is not for drinking, but for rinsing your mouth. The emperor ordered that your highness recover from a serious illness and should get rid of the filth. This golden silk cup is for your highness to get rid of the filth in your mouth." Everything the maid said made sense, but Shangguan Yu (Lan Ling) thought that this was the tea used by the ancients to get rid of the bad smell in the mouth, no matter what, there is no toothbrush utensils here, and mouthwash is essential, so he picked up the golden silk cup and took a sip , slid it in the mouth a few times, bowed his head and spit it into the mouthwash bowl held by another maid.

"What's your name?" Shangguan Yu asked the maid serving tea.

"My name is Qiuju, and this is Dongmei." Qiuju pointed to Dongmei who was holding a mouthwash bowl.

"Okay, you guys go down first." Shangguan Yu said.

"Yes, Your Highness, if Your Highness has any orders, just call us." The two closed the door and went out.

Shangguan Yu was half lying on the bed, feeling uncomfortable all over. If he is here now, what will happen in the future?It's hard for even a bird to fly out of this high wall and deep courtyard.

The next day, he was woken up early, and he didn't sleep well because he thought about Ye Ming in the middle of the night. If he was called up before dawn today, it seems that the ancients are really inhumane.

Shangguan Yu was forced to get dressed. To be honest, he didn't know how to get dressed. It was Qiu Ju and Dong Mei who helped him put them on. He had seen these things on TV before, so he didn't think it was strange.

After breakfast, he was taken to the Imperial College, but he was the only student, and the teacher was an old antique, dressed in an official uniform, holding a thread-bound book in his hand. Fortunately, he has practiced brush calligraphy before, otherwise he must be at a loss now.

"Sir!" Shangguan Yu was arranged to say that this Taifu has a weird temper and likes to have people recite long essays. His name is Cao Xinde, and his style name is Zixuan. ", but no one said it in front of him, they all talked behind his back.

"The prince is here!" Cao Xinde said slowly, "I missed my studies for a year, so I have to hurry up and catch up with my homework today!"

Shangguan Yushun said: "Yes, sir, I wonder what homework the master plans to teach the students today?"

Cao Xinde was taken aback, and looked at Shangguanyu in disbelief. Could it be that the prince has changed his nature?How did you wake up and become so docile?Don't even speak up?

"His Royal Highness, are you cured?" Cao Xinde asked.

"Okay, Mr. Cao, I don't have any illnesses." Shangguan Yu's memory loss was suppressed by the emperor, and anyone who knew about it was secretly executed. Of course, Shangguan Yu didn't know about these things, he was just forced The arrangement said that no one should know that he had lost his memory.

Cao Taifu is a bit careless person. Although he has read a lot, he knows nothing about fighting in the officialdom. I'm not afraid that he will spoil him, but I'm afraid that Shangguan Yu will spoil him in turn.

Shangguan Yu followed Taifu Cao to study for about a year, and suddenly Shangguan Wen wanted to lead troops to go out, saying that the border war was urgent, and the emperor's personal conquest was necessary to quell the war.

The war was raging, and Shangguan Wen was already seriously ill. He traveled all night and aggravated his illness. As soon as he arrived at the border, he was dying and critically ill within three days.

As soon as Shangguanwen wrote the edict, he swallowed his breath, and the guards with him rushed to the horse, took the edict back to the palace of the ghost country, reported the emperor's death, and summoned the crown prince Shangguan Yu to ascend the throne!

Shangguan Yu was taken aback, why did he die suddenly?Then Shangguanwen looked only in his thirties, why did he die so easily?It seems that the medical treatment in ancient times was too underdeveloped. It is really scary that a small injury can kill you.

Shangguan Yu came to the throne at the age of sixteen. He is the second emperor of the ghost country. It is easy to start a business but difficult to maintain it. Now he is facing internal and external troubles, especially after the death of Shangguan Wen. He is a young boy and no one will let him go. In the eyes, they will only run out to pick troubles. If they don't take the opportunity to show their power, they will be punished badly.Shangguan Yu decided to cease fighting first!

But as soon as the letter of truce was delivered, the emperor over there began to clamor. He had no choice but to send Situ Ming, a fierce general during Shangguanwen's reign, to the front line, but he was defeated and died for the country.

"Who is the other party?"

"Back to the emperor, the opponent is Duanmucheng, the emperor of the Chi Kingdom. This person has been very happy since he was a child, and he likes to fight and kill, but it happens that this emperor who does all kinds of evil has great combat ability. He commands well and wins many battles. The surrounding small countries have all been annexed, and now they are taking the opportunity to attack my ghost country, and want to unify Taixing!" Prime Minister Sima Qing said.

"That being the case, who has the guts to go to the front to challenge this tyrant?" Shangguan Yu stood up.

"Going back to the emperor, all the ministers are willing to go, but the emperor, even if we go, we will be defeated. Even Lord Situ has failed. What chance do you think we, the soldiers and crabs, will have to win?" Liu Yu, the servant of the household department.

How can such a courtier be let go?How can the morale of the army be stabilized if one is not killed to warn others?Shangguan Yu yelled, "Come here, take off the top hat, and hit the forty big boards again!"

When the people below heard it, they began to tremble.

"Who still wants to raise the enemy's morale and destroy their own prestige? Stand up for me, and drag them out one by one for me to be beaten!" Shangguan Yu was angry.

"I dare not wait!"

The officials knelt down and shouted long live!

Shangguan Yu didn't want to talk to these people anymore, all of them were mediocre officials, none of them were useful, and they hadn't been assigned yet, so one said that he had an eighty-year-old mother in his family, the other said that he had wives and children, and he also said that he was old, dim-sighted, and physically weak. , can't share my worries for me, what do you slaves do!

After all, the only one who is loyal to him is Tai Fu Cao Xinde.

"Sir, in your opinion?"

"Your Majesty, the situation is tense now, and the officials are disobedient. If you make them obey honestly, it will not be difficult to recognize your majesty. Didn't you just try the trick of 'killing chickens to scare monkeys', but the force is too light to deter!"

"What should I do?"

"Think about how the late emperor built the country? Back then, the first emperor stood out from the crowd and governed the small countries around him. Naturally, those ministers obeyed out of fear. But now, the emperor, you have neither military achievements nor cronies, only me. Bad old man, I'm afraid they won't be convinced!"

"Do you have to personally conscript?"

"No!"

"What should I do?"

"Anne first!"
