lucky son

After the enthronement ceremony, Meng Hui, who had been promoted from a national teacher to a holy king, was physically and mentally exhausted.He could still pretend to be in front of outsiders, but when he was alone with Xiao Yao, his calm and calm smile suddenly collapsed.

"Your Majesty, you know that I don't seek any high position." He sighed helplessly.

After the enthronement ceremony, Xiao Yao's luck has been stabilized, and Meng Hui's mission has also been declared a success.After completing the task, he just wants to be a salted fish without dreams, give himself a long vacation, and spend the rest of his life leisurely, instead of being promoted to a high position and being involved in various battles involuntarily.

"Of course I know." Xiao Yao smiled lightly, put his hand on Meng Hui's shoulder, and rubbed his round earlobe ambiguously, "Others follow me, or hope that I can give them glory, wealth, and blessings for their children and grandchildren." Future generations may believe that I can become a benevolent king, benefiting the country and the people. Only the national teacher asks for nothing." His tone was a little melancholy, Xiao Yao squinted his eyes, and laughed, "I would rather the country The teacher has something to ask for from me, not such a lack of desire and demand, so that I can't grasp it."

Meng Hui was made uncomfortable by Xiao Yao's movements, and couldn't help but tilt his head to avoid his fingers, frowning slightly.

Seeing Meng Hui's uncomfortable face, Xiao Yao withdrew his hand very naturally, and did not continue to force: "The national teacher has nothing to ask for high positions and dignitaries, but I do. On top of that, spread the deeds of the national teacher all over the world, let court painters draw Buddhist paintings for the national teacher, and order all the temples all over the country to hang them for worship. The name."

Xiao Yao's voice was soothing, even with a hint of a smile, but Meng Hui was terrified.He stared at his mission objective seriously, with a cautious expression on his face: "Your Majesty... what are you trying to do?"

"Of course, everyone in the world should know the national teacher." Xiao Yao smiled happily, and touched the cinnabar on Meng Hui's eyebrows affectionately, "In this way, even if the national teacher leaves my side, there will still be some Countless pairs of eyes in the world are watching the national teacher for me, no matter where the national teacher has gone, I will know, and then send someone to bring the national teacher back."

Meng Hui: “………………………”

——Very well, the power of the human flesh search has been foreseen in advance by his mission target.As for the skill of disguise, I probably need to start learning it myself.

——Next time you go to the modern plane, you must remember to buy some magical cosmetics for the girls in advance and store them in the system space for emergencies.

The new emperor must be very busy when he succeeds to the throne. Even though Xiao Yao supervised the country as the prince for a while and cleaned up the courtiers who had disliked him, he was still very busy.

Firstly, there will inevitably be all kinds of troubles when the old and new dynasties alternate; secondly, Xiao Yao and his father's ruling philosophy are not the same, and he still needs to depose the old dynasty system and carry out government reforms according to his own wishes; thirdly, The problem of the Xiongnu has not been completely resolved. While dealing with daily affairs, Xiao Yao is still intensively preparing for his next conquest against the Xiongnu.

Of course, Xiao Yao did not renege on his promise to Meng Hui on the day of his enthronement ceremony.As long as I was busy with government affairs and had no time to spend with Meng Hui, there would be more than a dozen court painters around Meng Hui either observing or painting, which annoyed Meng Hui so much that he almost couldn't help the eminent monk's flattery. shelf.

So, when the eunuch De'an sent the news that the Supreme Emperor wanted to find Meng Hui to give lectures, Meng Hui couldn't wait to leave the group of painters behind and ran to Yanshou Palace where the Supreme Emperor lived.

Generally speaking, any new emperor with a Supreme Emperor on top of his head will live a rather miserable life. After all, the old emperor still has the power, so it is inevitable that he will interfere in the government affairs.However, Xiao Yao obviously didn't have the temperament to be restrained by the Supreme Emperor. After the old emperor abdicated, he would completely retire. However, any courtiers who fell in love with the old lord and moved out of the Supreme Emperor to talk about things would be rectified by him. Being merciful, it really made all the courtiers understand what it means to be "one emperor, one courtier".

The Supreme Emperor originally intended to be in love with power, but was secretly pushed back by Xiao Yaoming, and his ability to control the court situation became weaker and weaker.In the end, he had no choice but to accept the reality, and quietly retreated to Yanshou Palace to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhism. It is not surprising that he now sends someone to invite Meng Hui to give lectures.

However, it was obvious that the Supreme Emperor didn't just want to listen to Meng Hui's lecture this time.

After repeated blows, the Supreme Emperor no longer had the radiance he had when he first met Meng Hui. His temples had gray hair, showing a listless old look. When he sat on the futon, even his originally straight The back is also slightly curved.

——The current him has changed from a generation of emperors with power over the world to an ordinary old man who has been eliminated by the torrent of the times.

Seeing Meng Hui, who was as handsome as before, with a dusty temperament, the overlord's cloudy eyes were full of complexity and inquiry.From the first glance he met, Meng Hui knew that the other party had come out of his hypnosis, and no longer believed in him like a god.Obviously, during the period when he lost his power and status and was trapped in the Yanshou Palace, the Supreme Emperor really thought a lot and saw through a lot.

——However, Meng Hui didn't care about this. After all, the opponent's situation was gone, and he had no use value for him.

Even Emperor Qianzhen didn't need to kneel down to salute, and Meng Hui naturally didn't need to kneel down to the Supreme Emperor.He clasped his hands together and saluted, then sat Shi Shiran on the futon opposite the Supreme Emperor, with a calm and peaceful expression.

Looking at Meng Hui for a long time, the Supreme Emperor let out a long sigh, and his tone didn't have much sense of accountability, just a bit of melancholy: "Master, you said before that I have a strong dragon spirit and a stable throne, but you are deceiving me?"

"It's not deceit." Meng Hui didn't have the slightest feeling of guilt that the victim came to the door, but just smiled lightly, "Dragon Qi symbolizes Guozuo. At this time, the Dragon Qi has been transferred to Emperor Qianzhen. Presumably Emperor Qianzhen must be a A good emperor can continue the prosperity of the country and the people. As for your majesty's luck, it is indeed strong, and your majesty will surely enjoy his old age and die a peaceful life."

Hearing Meng Hui's convincing words, the expression on the Taishang Emperor's face became more complicated, and he sneered: "Master is really a monk and doesn't lie."

——Obviously not saying a single wrong word, but it can make people understand different meanings.

Meng Hui frankly accepted the Supreme Emperor's half-sentimental and half-sarcasm judgment.

"The master said earlier that the prince, no, the emperor was destined to have three catastrophes, is it true?" The Supreme Emperor did not continue to delve into it, but changed the topic.

"...That's right." Although this matter was indeed nonsense, Meng Hui had to grit his teeth and admit it in order to ensure that his character would not collapse too much.

"Then after one calamity, the emperor still has two calamities left?" The Supreme Emperor frowned, seeming a little annoyed.

"It is so." Meng Hui looked straight at the Supreme Emperor.He couldn't be sure whether the Supreme Emperor wanted to take advantage of these two catastrophes to regain power, or he was really worried that the new emperor's accident would lead to turmoil in the court, but no matter what, he didn't intend to say more, "But the secret is inevitable." If you leak it, you monk can’t say much.”

"Forget it, with the master here, I naturally don't have to worry too much." The Supreme Emperor was startled, and then he laughed at himself, "Once upon a time, the Taifu once said that the emperor was born as Ziwei Xing, and he was born with the emperor's destiny. I haven't taken it to heart. Now Thinking about it, it really hits the nail on the head. Even an eminent monk like Master, who has jumped out of the five elements and is not in the world of mortals, will specially come to him and help him with all his heart."

Meng Hui smiled lightly, closed his eyes and recited the Buddha's mantra without denying or affirming it.

This can be said to be calm and detached, or it can be said that the appearance of a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, which made the Taishang Emperor feel depressed.He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth silently for a while, finally showed exhaustion, and waved to De'an who was guarding the side: "I'm tired, De'an, send the master away."

De'an promised in a low voice, and walked to Meng Hui's side with complicated eyes, and Meng Hui also got up, saluted calmly, turned and left.

The ball of light rested on his shoulder, with a worried tone: "This Supreme Emperor looks so angry, will it be against you? For example, spreading everywhere that you are a fake monk or something."

"Don't worry." Meng Hui was right. "The Supreme Emperor has no real power, but my backer is Emperor Qianzhen who has all the power. It is clear at a glance which one is better. What's more, his words have no basis and can only be based on rumors." It hurt me secretly, but my achievements at the border are real. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and the eighteen monks of Anguo Temple can all testify to me, and this matter has been publicized by Xiao Yao. I have a high status, and this world admires Buddhism, so no one will believe any unfavorable remarks about me, and even actively refute them."

"That's good, then I can rest assured~" Guangqiu rubbed his host's cheek with peace of mind, and replied happily.

In this case, Meng Hui returned triumphantly after killing the Supreme Emperor, but in that case, Xiao Yao was not so happy - because he was facing the first time that he was persecuted by his officials since he succeeded to the throne.

Usually, civil and military officials have their own positions, and they dare not form gangs in front of Emperor Ganzhen, so they naturally don't have the confidence to be too tough against Xiao Yao, who is extremely powerful.But this time, they had the same standpoint and purpose, and they became one. Based on the idea that the law should not blame the public, the officials finally stiffened their necks and confronted their immediate superiors head-on.

Yes, what everyone is going to do this time is an eternal topic - forced marriage.

Emperor Ganzhen is already in his 20s. At this age, an ordinary man would almost have children. However, Xiao Yao doesn't even have a wife, not to mention children.

The emperor's marriage and childbirth are not only his personal affairs, but also related to the future of the country.As long as the emperor has no descendants to inherit, if something happens unexpectedly and he dies suddenly, it will inevitably cause a great turmoil, which will hurt the country and the people.

Of course, in addition to worrying that there will be no successors, the ministers also have selfish intentions-after all, their daughters and granddaughters have been waiting in the boudoir for a long time because the new emperor refused to marry a wife, and they really can't wait any longer.They can't wait to send their beautiful and scheming little daughters into the palace to fill the concubine position, win the emperor's favor, and give birth to heirs. Then there will be an undercurrent and turbulent battle that carries the future hope of the family. The battle for the harem and the battle for the throne.

Civil and military officials united together and plausibly advised the importance of Qianzhen Emperor’s wife and son—no matter how capricious the new emperor is, it doesn’t matter, but the queen must marry and the son must be born. After all, this is a major issue related to the country. Don't be negligent in the slightest.

Of course, in addition to the queen, it is best to have a few more concubines to fill the harem at the same time, so that more children can bring more blessings.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Xiao Yao looked at the courtiers below who were either very old or just in their prime, and felt his brows twitch slightly.He glanced at the loyal "former princes and sons" who were single-handedly picked up by him, and hoped that they could curb these eloquent forced marriages, but he never thought that even his confidantes would ignore them. Taking his own hint, he bit the bullet and didn't say a word, pretending that he had been disconnected, obviously also hoping that Emperor Qianzhen would marry a wife and have children earlier.

For the first time, Xiao Yao experienced what it means to "betray relatives".

Pressing the temple that was twitching from annoyance, Xiao Yao raised his hand and pressed it indifferently: "Enough."

Emperor Qianzhen's voice was ice-cold, and immediately silenced the noisy hall. Dozens of pairs of eyes looked at Xiao Yao, full of anticipation.

Xiao Yao put his hands down and put them on his knees, with a calm expression: "I have heard what you dear friends said. Originally, I didn't want to say too much about this matter, but now seeing your performance, I have to say gone."

Hearing that Emperor Ganzhen's tone was wrong, all the ministers couldn't help but "thump" in their hearts, and the whole hall suddenly became quieter.

Looking at the courtiers from top to bottom to forcefully hide their apprehensive expressions, Xiao Yao suddenly chuckled, then quickly covered it up, and sighed deeply: "I really want to have an heir, but the conditions are not allowed. Everyone Ai Qing should know that I was seriously injured not long ago and escaped death. Fortunately, the Holy King rescued me and saved my life. However, although my body has recovered now, the root of the disease is still left behind, and I have no predestined children."

Xindi's confidant who knows the truth: ? ? ? ? ? ?

—No, Emperor, what are you talking about? !You fucking say it again? ? ! !
