Chapter 57 Uninvited guests
A country cannot have a master for a day, and a king for a day cannot be left in the palace.
Any imperial commander in person will usually be as fast as possible when returning to the court.
Looking at the road flowers is something that idle people do.
The king is never idle.
However, the imperial troops of the Great Chu Dynasty stopped in Wancheng.
Wancheng originally belonged to the Han territory, and was a territory divided by the Great Chu Dynasty when the Han Dynasty was destroyed. Wancheng and Lushan were only separated by several city walls, only a hundred miles away, so it naturally belonged to the border city, and it was not a major city where troops were stationed and accumulated grain.
It is not wise to stay in such a place.
However, almost everyone in the imperial ranks knows why.
Emperor Chu’s real oil was gone.
Many people know that the longest-time emperor had a problem with his body. With the beginning of the Lushan League, with the violent fluctuations of the heaven and earth energy in Lushan, and to the end, the fall of several masters, his energy and spirit seemed to be completely exhausted, and all the schizophrenia in his body burst out.
Emperor Chu had a bad reputation outside. He was lustful and mediocre, and did not like the government. The old ministers who had followed him for many years knew that his low-key and peacefulness were just his means of being a human being.
His invisibility and disregard, often he is just tolerant and let go.
So no one in the Great Chu Dynasty despised him, and not even many people opposed him.
You can criticize him, despise him, but you can respect him.
The palace in Wancheng was built as early as the time when Emperor Chu came.
On the dragon bed in the palace, Emperor Chu leaned against the soft couch, his eyes wanted to condense, but it was a little dispersed, so his face was calm, but he couldn't help but feel helpless and moved.
Concubine Zhao looked down at him and held his hands.
"I thought you could at least stick to the imperial city."
She said slowly: "I didn't expect it to be so fast."
Emperor Chu felt the softness and warmth of her hands, smiled slightly, and said, "I didn't expect that I would have met Mo Shoucheng at the Goddess Summit."
Concubine Zhao remained silent, but her hands began to exert a little force, and her knuckles began to lit up one by one.
"Don't do this." Emperor Chu shook his head.
Concubine Zhao Xiang shook her head stubbornly and looked at him and said, "It doesn't matter if she died in battle on the road of war, but she died on the way back to Lushan... It's too bad for your reputation. I don't want to hear people from later generations say that you were scared by Emperor Yuanwu's sword to Pingshan, so that your old disease recurs and you won't be able to survive the capital. Although your reputation and I have never been better, I don't want you to bear such a reputation when you leave."
"It doesn't matter." Emperor Chu shook his head again, looked at her and said, "I just want you to survive."
"Have it done?" Zhao Xiangfei didn't understand what he meant.
Emperor Chu nodded: "In the future, you only need to endure the country... You don't need to do anything, you just need to endure, no matter how much you suffer, you will endure."
Concubine Zhao still didn't understand and asked, "Why?"
"Because this can make our Great Chu exist for a longer time than Da Yan and Da Qi." Emperor Chu smiled and said, "Maybe it may not be possible to survive the Great Qin to death."
Concubine Zhao looked at him and wanted to say something, but she felt something, and her soft hands became stiff.
Emperor Chu smiled tiredly and said, "No matter what kind of person you will become in the eyes of the Chu people and the eyes of the historians in the future, I will feel relieved to hand over the Great Chu to you."
After saying this, he slowly closed his eyes, as if he had fallen tiredly.
Concubine Zhao held his hand, looked at him for a long time, and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do it."
Then she stood up and turned around and walked out.
"Your Majesty has passed away."
Her voice rang in the cold palace, and then turned into another thunder in the deep spring.
"Your Majesty has passed away!"
A series of calls and sad sounds sounded.
Her figure solidified like a statue under the eaves of the palace, and her face looked like jade, but she never saw any sadness.
It’s not that it’s not sad, but for many people, there is no time to be sad in life.
...
The Emperor of Chu collapsed on the way.
Regarding Changling, the spring of the 12th year of Yuanwu was over. When this news spread to the streets and alleys, Changling's most noble hostess returned to Changling and her harem.
When her figure appeared on the stone path with terracotta warriors on both sides, Fusu was already waiting on the stone path.
Looking at Fusu who was happily saluted, there was a doting look in her perfect eyes, but it quickly turned into absolute peace.
"You can't participate in the Minshan Sword Meeting anymore."
She looked at Fusu and said.
Fusu's body trembled slightly, his face suddenly turned pale, and he asked, "Mother, why?"
"I know friendship is very important to you, and I also know that I have agreed to let you participate in the Minshan Sword Club."
The queen looked at him gently and said, "I promised you to attend the Minshan Sword Club, which is to allow you to walk freely outside the palace, but your identity is already different."
Fusu was stunned.
"Because there is no accident in Lushan League."
The queen raised her head, looked at the distance from Changling, and whispered: "So you will soon become the prince... A prince is nothing to walk outside, but a newly established prince cannot."
"The prince went to attend such a sword meeting, and his etiquette was not in line with each other. And I can no longer give you a lot of time to play... You have a lot of things to learn and a lot of things to do."
"I think you should understand."
Listening to these words, Fusu's head drooped.
He understood these principles, but he couldn't help but feel sad.
"I know you're a little sad, but as long as the teenager in the wine shop is excellent enough, you will naturally have a chance to date."
The queen seemed to see through what he was thinking, and her voice softened a lot: "The boy performed well in Wushan, and I was very satisfied, so I would naturally have a great reward."
Hearing her words, Fusu's eyes suddenly lit up. He became happy, happy for what his friend had encountered.
"Thank you, my mother."
In his opinion, since even she said "rewards", this reward is naturally extremely heavy. The extremely heavy reward may ensure that Ding Ning can successfully pass the Minshan Sword Association and enter the Minshan Sword Sect to practice.
But he didn't know that a person had many aspects, and a noble lady like her often had many aspects to deal with a matter.
Rewards are just one aspect.
...
...
"I'm so extravagant and extremely lustful. I even carved so many flowers on a window frame. However, it's better to chop firewood and burn it down than the door panel, which saves some effort."
"This is iron birch, and it's not that easy to chop."
A man in thick clothes holding a hatchet looked at the wooden window lattice with only a few marks on the ground in confusion. He raised his head and said to Ding Ning who was reminding him in disbelief: "How can this wood be so hard?"
"It will sink when thrown in the water, but of course it's hard."
Ding Ning smiled slightly and said, "If you want to chop it for firewood, you have to find a big axe. This hatchet will probably be chopped until tomorrow morning."
"Bah! The window frame is so exquisite. How much effort does it take to carve such patterns on such hard wood? How much money will it be wasted so many fancy whistles?"
The man in thick clothes, holding a hatchet, spitted his saliva and inserted his belt into his waistband, but no longer wanted to waste any effort on the window frame. He also said contemptuously: "No wonder the Chu Dynasty took such a big advantage. Nine years later, he could not beat us, but instead cut a large piece of it for us."
Ding Ning smiled and said nothing more. Following the gaze of the man in thick clothes at this time, it was a courtyard.
This courtyard covers a huge area and has many buildings. It must have been extremely gorgeous. However, at a glance, the roof tiles were broken. Not only were the buildings inside dismantled, but even the high walls were smashed with stains and many large holes were demolished.
Ding Ning followed Chen Yi.
Looking at the dilapidated scene in the courtyard through the big hole in the wall, Chen Yi couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that in just a few days, the Liling Jun Mansion would become like this."
No one knew the deepest conversation in the Great Floating Water Prison.
However, everything was in line with the words of the strongest military advisor in the history of the Qin Dynasty.
When the carnival atmosphere spreads wildly in the streets of Changling, many people inevitably think of hatred.
At the beginning, many Changling people who lost their relatives in the battle with Da Chu just angrily smashed the things they could grab at the courtyard wall of Liling Jun’s mansion.
But as more and more people gather, such anger is difficult to control and turns into a frenzy.
On the first day, the courtyard wall and gate were broken, and many valuables were stolen.
On the second day, some furniture and decorations were snatched away.
On the third day, even the precious plants and some useful wood were taken away.
Starting from the night of the third day, even some stones and beams and pillars of the house were pulled down with ropes and dragged away.
At this time, scattered objects from the Liling Jun Mansion could be seen everywhere in many streets and alleys of Changling.
The Liling Jun Mansion, which was once legendary in Changling, turned into ruins in just a few days.
When the Liling Jun Mansion changed on the first day, Ding Ning went to the scene to watch the fun. As he expected, the people who stayed at the Liling Jun Mansion had taken away everything that was valuable to the practitioners or to the court without being controlled by the situation.
All he could do was to see if there was any trace of what was valuable to him and could give him some information.
Getting clues from the subtleties is naturally not enough for the entire huge Liling Jun Mansion.
Like many Changling people who are particularly satisfied with entering the broken Liling Jun Mansion every time, Ding Ning also entered Liling Jun Mansion again.
The dilapidated man with hatchets stuck on his belt was particularly satisfied and wandered in the unattended Liling Jun Mansion. Ding Ning and Shen Yi, who followed him into Liling Jun Mansion in a hole in a wall, walked towards a half-deep building deep.
At this time, Li Yunrui was also walking into Lilingjun's Mansion from another place.
