Two days later is the day to pay tribute to the first emperor according to Xiao Yang's suggestion. :。
Early in the morning, Gu Mingnuan got up and handed Xiao Yang the plain clothes one by one, Xiao Yang, who liked to be served by Gu Mingnuan and was intimate, looked very different today, and looked a little more solemn.
After breakfast, Gu Mingnuan saw that Xiao Yang's expression was still cold, "What's wrong with you, it's very important to pay tribute to the first emperor."
Ten thousand thoughts of despising her absurd thoughts in her heart, but Xiao Yang's abnormality seemed to confirm some speculations, and took the initiative to hold Xiao Yang's arm, her gentle and concerned gaze fell on Xiao Yang, Xiao Yang gradually retracted his solemn expression, "I think Your Majesty and Xiao Yue will do something today." ” “” Gu Mingnuan completely extinguished the absurd thoughts in his mind in frustration, Xiao Yang could never have anything to do with Yingzong, with the bandit-like behavior of the Xiao family before, those treasures of Yingzong must have been snatched back Another way of thinking, the reason why the Xiao family attaches so much importance to King Anle or the first emperor may be guilty Guilt can't protect Youngjong's exiled prince.
Xiao Yang pretended not to see Gu Mingnuan's strange appearance, and said slowly: "After I am busy paying tribute to the first emperor, I can easily go to the next few days, and I will accompany you well." ” "Be careful."
Gu Mingnuan was worried, Xiao Yang nodded clearly, "You don't have to worry about me, they won't want my life." ” They will take away Xiao Yang's things that are more precious than their lives After Gu Mingnuan sent Xiao Yang away, he realized that there were more guards around him than usual, and Feng Zhaodi and the others were even more vigilant, Xiao Yang was the most dangerous, okay In the eyes of Xiao Yue and Emperor Chu, after Xiao Yang collapsed, she was not a basis at all.
Paying tribute to the first emperor is a recent major event in the imperial court, not only hundreds of officials participated, but also the women had to go to the emperor's tomb, and even the people of the imperial capital would set up a road to worship, whether Emperor Chu was willing or not, the first emperor's reputation in the north or the world has been completely out.
The people paid tribute to the first emperor, thanked the unpaid British lord with great ambitions, and imagined that if Yingzong was still alive and still sitting on the dragon chair, would they have suffered a lot less and lived a better life Obviously, after all, Yingzong has only been dead for more than 20 years, and many people are still alive, and they still remember the virtuous government implemented by the young prince after he fought a bloody way to win the throne.
Even if the dead are bad people, there will still be people who remember his benefits, not to mention that Yingzong is a very charming and noble emperor.
In the palace, Emperor Chu stood in front of a one-person-high mirror, his eyes were wrapped with bright red bloodshots, and his gray face was hideous, "Brother Huang, it's not that I don't want to pay tribute to you, but I don't want to be forced by Xiao Yang to pay tribute to you." ” "You protected me behind you and loved and defended me, why did you let Xiao Yang torture me when you died?"
"I know the ambition of the imperial brother, to expand the territory and recreate the style of the founding of the country, I work hard to do it, but you leave the Xiao family" Emperor Chu picked up the inkstone beside him and smashed it into the mirror, the mirror shattered, and the silver fragments were scattered all over the ground, "You left the Xiao family, the restrained Xiao Yang" "It's not my fault that you didn't fulfill your ambition, it's you, it's the imperial brother, you don't believe in me at all." vented fiercely, the corners of Emperor Chu's eyes were moist, when they were young, their brothers had a difficult life in the palace, their biological mother was not smart, and they couldn't protect them at all, but his brother still had to worry about his mother, he used to think that his brother was the most powerful person, and he had been following his brother like a little tail, thinking that he must repay his brother for his maintenance in the future.
The throne is too tempting, and his brother is not in good health, he has accompanied his brother all the way, his mind is mature, he understands the shortcomings of the country, and he is more able to inherit his brother's ambitions, and he is more suitable for the throne than his nephews.
Emperor Chu stood alone in the messy warm pavilion, raised his head and smiled bitterly, "Back then, I drove the imperial expedition in person, and the honorable generals joined forces to pit me and let me fall into the hands of the barbarians, I thought that the day of being captured was the most shameful thing in my life, but I was wrong.
Does the imperial brother know Xiao Yang is standing outside, and he is waiting for me to pay tribute to you.
The dignified emperor was at the mercy of his courtiers, coerced, and humiliated, more shameful than being captured by barbarians. ” Wearing a dragon robe, but looking at Xiao Yang's face, even the Zhou family didn't force him like Xiao Yang back then.
"Your Majesty, the hour has come."
Gonggong Su looked embarrassed and cautious across the door, "The courtiers are waiting for you to drive to the imperial tomb." ” Following the emperor, Gonggong Su knew what kind of days His Majesty had spent in the past two days, and what could His Majesty do if he was reluctant King Yan had already arrived at the gate of the palace, and if His Majesty did not appear at this time, King Yan would definitely enter the palace.
Your Majesty will not be more embarrassed by that time Emperor Chu let out a sigh of relief, walked out with a cold expression, squinted his eyes slightly to adapt to the sunlight outside, only the emperor can walk on the middle road, a person's face gradually cleared, elegant and noble, with a confident and gentle smile, but with the power to make anyone surrender, the imperial brother led the close courtiers on this road.
"Brother Huang."
The figure that seems to attract all the light is the imperial brother?
Emperor Chu couldn't tell if he was dreaming or not.
Gonggong Su was shocked, where is there no one in front of the first emperor, there are often rumors of the first emperor's apparitions in the palace, which makes the palace maids talk about ghosts and change color.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
Emperor Chu shuddered, came to his senses, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and the figure that pressed on his head like a mountain gradually disappeared, but the man's lips showed a sneer when he disappeared, just like the pity and mockery he showed to Emperor Chu on his deathbed.
If you can't sit still, my son will step on your body and ascend to the throne, and the world will always be his.
The words that should have been forgotten resurfaced, Emperor Chu covered his ears in a gaffe, King Anle was a fool, and the person next to King Yue was a fake at all, although he didn't know the grievances between the imperial brother and the king of Yue, but he understood that the imperial brother would not hand over his son to the king of Yue no matter what.
"Let's go, go to the Emperor's Tomb."
Emperor Chu strode out of the palace gate, and when he was supported by Gonggong Su to board Luanyu, his eyes fell on Xiao Yang, he was slightly stunned, and he couldn't help frowning again, and sat on Luan Yu in a trance.
Gu Yan leaned over to his son-in-law, "The emperor is a little wrong, you should be more careful." ” He was the commander of the forbidden army and could not take care of Xiao Yang, so he had to follow Emperor Chu.
"I don't take the initiative to find trouble, but I'm not afraid of things, they don't want to try my catty, just let the horse come."
Xiao Yang turned over and got on the horse, arched his hand to Gu Yan, and followed Luan Yu unhurriedly, Gu Yan knew that it was not suitable to laugh at this time, so he pulled the corners of his mouth, and was so proud, "That's my son-in-law, the son-in-law I personally selected for my daughter." ” Dingguo Gong Shi Zhan and the others were extremely embarrassed, but they also catered to a few words.
"Princess, Miss Xiahou asks to see you."
Gu Mingnuan put down the scroll in his hand, he never expected that on the way to the emperor's tomb, Miss Xiahou would come to see him, he hadn't heard from Miss Xiahou for a while, "Please let her get into the carriage." ”:
