Iron Armored Emperor

Yan Dynasty Palace.

After Wang finally calmed down, she only felt that the country was about to perish and all the monsters would appear.

She is the concubine daughter of the Wang family. Since she was a child, she has tasted the taste of being crushed by the power of the aunt's daughter and aunt's mother. She has awe of power. After reaching the sky in one step, she has ambitions, but she will never underestimate power.

In other words, she will not be as self-righteous as Liu Mei who is indulging in her own mind.

She clearly recognized the reality, the reality was that Bei Yan was in danger, but the man who was nominally responsible for Bei Yan's life and death was immersed in the romance.

If she was still the concubine of the Wang family, she would be powerless to change the overall situation anyway, so she could just keep her eyes closed and ignore the outside world.

But now she is the queen of Beiyan, and her fate is closely linked with this incompetent, cowardly, selfish and violent man.

No matter how provocative Liu Mei's insolent words were, Wang woke up and realized the simplest reality—Yang Ping was not the only son of the late emperor.

What Liu Mei wants to do, the biggest reliance is the baby in her womb, but once Yang Ping dies, it is impossible for the other three of the four famous clans to respect the son of a girl from the Liu family as the successor emperor. No, even if she Wang is pregnant with a child, it is the same reason.

This is the art of checks and balances.

She had no choice but to hope that Yang Ping would last a little longer.

So on this day, the literati emperor Yang Ping was surprised to see the queen who had been hiding from him since that day.

Wang asked Yang Ping a few words.

These two sentences will determine Liu Mei's future fate.

Yang Ping saw her upright face, and felt bored in his heart. Subconsciously, he felt that she was here to pretend to be an admonition of Taoism, and was trying to find an excuse to find Liu Mei to eat candied fruit, but saw Wang respectfully saluted her, lowering her eyebrows and pleasing to the eye. Question: "Your Majesty has been hanging out in Liu Concubine's palace for several days. During these few days, have any officials come to look for Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to go back to court?"

If Wang asked Yang Ping to go back to court, Yang Ping would scoff, but Wang's question immediately touched Yang Ping's suspicious heartstrings.

He immediately selectively forgot that he didn't want to go to court at all, but followed Wang's thinking about why no one came to persuade him to go to court?These courtiers... don't take him seriously!

After the questioning, the Wang family saluted again and asked the second question: "Your Majesty, when I was outside the palace, I heard that your brothers have many children and long lives?"

Yang Ping's eyes widened, and his heart was terrified.

He stepped down from the high chair, helped Mrs. Wang up, and said in a precious and respectful way: "My wife is virtuous!"

Wang's heart was extremely disgusted by this man's touch, but she had to pretend to be submissive, and gently approached Yang Ping's arms.

Early the next morning, the officials of the Yan Dynasty were surprised to find that their emperor had come to court.

This time it was Di Qiye who took the initiative to find Mu Lian.

Mu Lian was wandering around in the camp, but Di Qiye took him to his general's tent, delaying his plan to catch spies, he was not very happy.

Di Qiye asked amusedly: "Do you want to understand why you want to arrest Jiang Yan?"

Hearing this, Mu Lian became distressed again, and sighed with a stiff face: "I didn't think I understood."

Di Qiye was still hesitating between raising one or two points and changing the subject, and finally decided that it was up to Mu Lian to figure it out, and even if he still couldn't figure it out, it was just for Jiang Yan to worry about it.

There are advantages to not understanding. If Jiang Yan is not as good as Jiang Tong said, then if Mu Lian still doesn't understand, at least he won't be sad.

Di Qiye was trying to protect his shortcomings, so he didn't point it out. He just asked, "What do you think of Jiang Yan?"

"Okay," Mu Lian replied without thinking.

"Where is it?"

"Everywhere is fine."

Di Qiye was speechless.

It’s already like this before I understand it, but after I figure it out, it’s okay.

Why didn't he think that Jiang Yan was good everywhere, his smile was evil and a little frivolous.

Di Qiye teased Mu Lian: "Better than the lord?"

Mu Lian felt very conscious of staying in Chuying, and immediately praised the lord: "Of course the lord is better."

Di Qiye snorted softly, is this what Gu Lie said, smarter than himself?

Thinking of this, Di Qiye turned the corner and asked Mu Lian, "What do you think this general is like in the Chu army today?"

Mu Lian wisely picked up his job as an aide, cupped his hands to Di Qiye and said, "Master is the favorite general of the King of Chu, so he is blessed by nature."

It's the same as saying it and not saying it.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Lian's eyes were full of envy, and he added: "I will definitely die and be praised by everyone."

"How do you say that?" Di Qiye didn't expect to elicit these nonsense that everyone praised.

Mu Lian gave Di Qiye an analysis excitedly: "The king of Chu loves generals, and he has made great achievements in battle. He is already the target of public criticism. Now Ao Ge is planning to frame him. He is a mantis catching cicadas, and there are many orioles hiding behind him. This plan fails, but Make Huangque see through the lord's deliberate indulgence to you. When the time comes to conquer the world, the lord will ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, and you will be rewarded heavily for your hard work and great achievements."

Mu Lian sighed enviously again, and then said: "You are a soldier from heaven, not a retainer, not a foreign general, and you don't want to manage power, you insist on being alone. My lord raised you up all the way, and finally raised you up to the Marquis." When the time comes, you are the best target. The orioles swarmed up, besieged on all sides. Killing you alone will make all the heroes sober and retreat, and the world will be peaceful."

"Master, you are very lucky."

Mu Lian was extremely envious.

Di Qiye raised his eyebrows and asked: "You mean, if you were Gu Lie, you would intentionally indulge me, elevate me, provoke the dissatisfaction of the officials, and wait for an opportunity to kill me after you ascend the throne?"

Mu Lian took it for granted, "That's it."

Di Qiye defended Gu Lie: "He didn't mean to elevate me, but he advised me to pay attention to the situation and to guard against being framed."

Mu Lian was puzzled: "I thought my lord was a smart person."

"Where does this come from?"

Mu Lian looked at Di Qiye blankly, and asked, "How could he be so stupid as to tell you the truth?"

He paused for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Yes, because the Lord knows in his heart that even if he said so, Master, you will not follow through."

"what?"

Hearing that Mu Lian said that Gu Lie's every move was very scheming, Di Qiye felt a little nervous.

But Mu Lian replied with the ease of finally understanding the question: "Master, you are stubborn by nature, and you have no dust in your eyes, but the lord still wants to persuade. If he persuades, it will show your arrogance. He is the king and you are the minister." , even if you don’t listen to the lord’s painstaking persuasion, when the time comes, the birds will be exhausted, and you will be to blame.”

Di Qiye was willing to bow down.

If Di Qiye didn't know Gu Lie's character well, he might be made to harbor a grudge against Gu Lie by Mu Lian's few words.

In good conscience, Mu Lian's analysis is not only correct when placed on any pair of monarchs and ministers in history books, but also very understanding of people's hearts. This is a very normal power struggle between monarchs and ministers. I don't know how it has been repeated in the long river of history. how many times.

The problem is, Gu Lie's worry and anger are all real.

After listening to Mu Lian's words, Di Qiye didn't mind at all that Gu Lie said that he was not as good as Mu Lian, and even cared about the situation carefully, which was not completely negotiable.

Because although Di Qiye has been single for many years based on his own strength, it is not that he has not been pursued before.

Since one person is not related to another person, there is only one situation in which the interests of the other person will be given priority when making a choice.

admiration.Or don't use such a serious word, but it seems too light to talk about good feelings.

It's just a good impression, it is impossible for a Chu army master who is born to be an emperor to consider everything for Di Qiye.

They are monarchs and ministers, the lords of the Chu army and unrivaled heroes who should have been suspicious of each other and constrained each other.

I like it.

What about yourself?

Di Qiye asked himself, recalling the details of their relationship, he couldn't help but think of the spring silkworm he gave Gu Lie.

If it is said that Gu Lie treated him differently from the very beginning, then Di Qiye himself also treated Gu Lie differently from anyone else in this era from the very beginning.

When you like someone, even if you don't realize it, you will subconsciously treat him well, give those naive but thoughtful gifts, and even talk to yourself, go to heal his heart disease.

It took two lifetimes to fall in love with someone, and now, Di Qiye only had one question in his mind.

Did Gu Lie realize how unusual his attitude towards himself was?

No, there is a more interesting question.

When Gu Lie realizes it - will he accept it, or avoid it in fear?

Di Qiye pondered, unconsciously raised the corners of his lips.

Mu Lian stood there looking at the silent master who suddenly laughed, that smile made Mu Lian feel a little cold for some reason.

He lowered his head and thought, he doesn't know what Jiang Yan is doing now?

When Gu Lie saw Di Qiye again, he was accompanying Gu Zhao to learn about archery.

In fact, he didn't notice at first that this temperamental general threw himself into the trap, he was setting an example for Gu Zhao.

Gu Zhao is so young now that he can't pull a longbow naturally. He has a light bow specially made for the little prince in the arsenal to ensure that the little prince can master archery better without straining the little prince's body. arm.

The yew longbow in Gu Lie's hand cannot be pulled by ordinary people. Di Qiye asked the guards in a low voice. The guards said that it takes 1.8 loads of strength to draw the bow. I admire it very much.

1.8 What is the concept?It is about 180 catties of later generations.

Gu Lie was wearing a white military uniform, holding a longbow, with his feet shoulder-width apart, looking sideways at the red target, staring at the center.

Then slow down your breathing, caress the sword feather, nock the arrow to the string, lock the arrow, retreat slightly, hook the finger behind the string, and fix the string.

Di Qiye could see the stretching of the lower back muscles of his military uniform when he pulled the bow hard. Gu Lie stretched his shoulders and back, stretched the longbow, and the heavy arrow pierced through the air, hit the bull's-eye, and shot through the red target, causing the guards to attack. full house applause.

This is the king of Chu, the lord of the Chu army, and the lifeline of Chu Gu's soul.

Di Qiye thought amusedly, he is the first person I have admired in my two lifetimes.

Gu Zhao's face flushed with excitement, and he looked at his father expectantly.

"Unfamiliar," Gu Lie said modestly, and gave up the position to Gu Zhao's archery master, "You come."

The archery master obeyed his orders respectfully and patiently taught Gu Zhao how to stand and how to draw the bow.

Gu Lie walked towards Di Qiye and teased him: "Yo, you figured it out, or you're arguing with me."

Di Qiye responded very obediently: "My lord, I am here to apologize for my humble position."

Gu Lie was taken aback by his abnormal appearance, and felt that nothing good happened.

"What crime are you asking for?"

Di Qiye said solemnly: "It's a crime to make the Lord angry."

Gu Lie raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "This crime, you only came to invite it now, isn't it too late?"

"It's not too late, not too late," Di Qiye cheekily changed it into words, "Isn't it said that ten years is not too late for a gentleman to plead guilty?"

Gu Lie said indifferently: "Do you mean that you will not commit any crimes again in the future?"

Di Qiye was taken aback, and replied quite honestly: "...It depends on how much you can bear, my lord."

This general is no longer available.

Gu Lie pointed to the gate of the Chu army's camp, and sincerely suggested: "You should vote for another master."

Di Qiye smiled, and the two looked at each other for a moment, only to see Di Qiye knelt down on one knee, looked into Gu Lie's eyes and said, "My lord, as I said, Di Qiye has come here for the king in this life."

That day when he swore his loyalty to Gu Lie, he felt that Lord Gu Lie might not understand what he meant.

He himself didn't realize what destiny mystery was hidden in what he said.

Seeing Di Qiye kneeling in front of him suddenly, Gu Lie was startled, and stretched out his hand to pull Di Qiye up.

Could it be that this kid finally changed his donkey temper?

Gu Lie tentatively asked: "Have you finally figured it out?"

"You said you were paying attention to the situation?" Di Qiye honestly evaded, "Then I have to think again."

After a pause, he dared to add: "I may not be able to figure it out."

Di Qiye thought that Gu Lie would be angry, but Gu Lie was surprised and teased: "You are willing to think about it."

The stubborn donkey really changed his temper.

Di Qiye didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and it was only at this time that he finally reflected on whether he was really so capricious, and why Gu Lie's psychological expectations for him were so low?
