fifth form

The palace in Chang'an City is still illuminated at night.

The eunuchs moved cautiously, holding red lanterns and carefully inspecting every door and window.

There are also imperial guards patrolling the passages of the palace with swords.

Compared with the bright lights everywhere, the Weiyang Palace, which is the main hall, is dimly lit, with only one palace lantern flickering with a soybean-sized flame.

This caused the interior of the palace to be very dark, and only a few feet of radius illuminated by the palace lanterns could barely see things.

Below the palace lantern, three figures sat at a long table.

The styles of the robes worn by the three are very similar, but the different crowns on the heads make the three of them clearly distinguishable.

One of them was wearing a twelve-pronged crown, and another had slightly changed the crown by folding one of the prongs, leaving only eleven prongs hanging down.

The other crown is made of gold thread, which is also noble and extraordinary, but it is not as high as the two crowns facing the sky.

The dim light illuminates the three crowns, and also makes the faces under the crowns faintly discernible in the darkness.

The two faces under the crown are almost exactly the same, except that one looks haggard and the other looks normal.

And under the golden crown is a young face.

The eyes of the young face swept across the haggard face on the left, and then looked at the normal face on the right.

No one responded to his gaze, until the small flame in the palace lantern suddenly went out without wind, everything was hidden in darkness, and the young face opened his mouth in a low voice.

"Father, uncle?"

The voice of inquiry was not conspicuous in the empty Weiyang Palace.

"how?"

"It should be done!"

The two voices came one after the other, the former asked and the latter answered.

This made the former breathe a sigh of relief.

When he clapped his hands, the twelve palace lanterns in Weiyang Palace were lit up, and the person who was wearing the eleven-pronged crown had disappeared before.

"Father?"

The young face asked anxiously again, causing the eyes of the person wearing the twelve-pointed crown to look slightly angry.

"Che'er, you are always so eager!"

"Father, my son knows that he is wrong!"

There are only two people left in Weiyang Palace, and only the two with the highest power in the Han Dynasty are left.

One is the emperor, and the other is the emperor's successor.

The former is obviously Emperor Jing, while the latter is Prince Liu Che.

The prince raised his head and looked at Emperor Jing's haggard face, the eagerness on his face was obvious.

Hearing the voice of the prince admitting his mistake, Emperor Jing finally let out a sigh.

"This is just a fate technique of the Xiangmen, and the lamp is turned off to prove that the technique has been completed," Emperor Jing said.

"Hasn't the Fuxi Xiangmen been destroyed?" The prince was surprised: "There is no such technique in the secret pavilion."

"It's hard to say that the cost of casting a complete spell is too high, so naturally it won't be put in the secret pavilion." Emperor Jing said: "The physiognomy that your uncle practiced is also incomplete. If you use it forcibly, you may lose your lifespan, and you will probably go ahead of me. step!"

Emperor Jing's tone was extremely flat when he narrated, but his eyes were dark and unpredictable.

He spread out the silk on the long table, and there was no word on the silk, which made the prince's face change again and again.

Emperor Jing directly gave two pieces of bad news in one sentence.

One is that Emperor Jing's lifespan is not normal, and the other is that the mysterious emperor's uncle may have a shorter lifespan.

And the third factor that made his complexion change came from the satin.

The prince clearly remembered that the roll of silk and satin was covered with various messy symbols, but after the palace lantern was extinguished, those symbols on the silk and satin disappeared.

"This is the gossip of Fuxi from Xiangmen to calculate the world. Your uncle is not capable enough, so he only got a chance!" Emperor Jing said.

"What opportunity?" the prince whispered.

"Naturally, it is an opportunity for my big man to continue." Emperor Jing said, "This opportunity happened to Dong Zhongshu!"

"Does Dr. Dong really have this kind of ability?" The prince couldn't believe it.

"The skill of Xiangmen is weird and unpredictable, who knows?" Emperor Jing shook his head and said, "Anyway, the opportunity is on him, and now he should have done part of the matter."

"Is that partly done?"

"He is currently in Shu County. Perhaps it is a blessing for me to be a big man. If he comes back to report earlier, I will issue an imperial decree to give some convenience to Shu County. If he comes back later, you will come It’s enough to make such an arrangement from time to time, but the matter of the academy needs to be carried out step by step, there is no need to rush this kind of thing, lest it become a place for powerful fishing and hunting fame and fortune again!”

"My son, take it down."

"It's a pity that the matter of Zhu Jiuyin is hard to fool after all. He is now living in the secret place of Xieluosichuan. He should be patiently waiting for changes." Emperor Jing sighed: "Father has studied hard for decades, but he is still no match for him. A manifested dharma body, if he makes things difficult for you in the future, you can sacrifice the snake-slaying sword of the ancestor Gao Emperor!"

"Is that the Akasaka Sword?"

"That's right, but you can only hold the sword, don't use it." Emperor Jing warned: "Let's pretend that it's okay, but if we really want to use the sword to kill him, he will definitely be seen as false."

"What conditions must the ancestor's sword meet before it can be used?" the prince was puzzled.

"Father doesn't know." Emperor Jing shook his head and said, "But don't place your expectations entirely on a sword. The real strength comes from yourself, not from external things!"

"Father taught that!"

"If you have great abilities yourself, and you can dominate the world one day, as strong as the Qin Emperor, then you must come to court from all over the world and everyone will obey you. At that time, you don't need to think about such foreign things. "

"But Emperor Qin..."

"Daqin will not be destroyed one day with him, and he is not so easy to lose, maybe he is still staring at somewhere, maybe he still has a backup, maybe we will return it all to him one day!"

Emperor Jing shook his head.

The cultivation system of the Han Dynasty was extremely fragmented, while the Qin Dynasty almost gathered all the knowledge learned from all directions at that time.

Under such conditions, perhaps only Qin Huang could answer what the Qin Dynasty had planned.

The double kings in Weiyang Palace are just a way to hide the eyes, and it is very likely that they will not be able to do it in the eyes of the other party.

Emperor Jing sighed.

Without the fall of the Qin Dynasty, there would be no birth of the Han Dynasty. In terms of status, he would have to thank the fall of the Qin Dynasty for them to have the possibility of being an emperor.

But in terms of national power, Emperor Jing hated Qin Huang's behavior of setting many things on fire.

This has brought great disaster to the latecomers.

The Eastern Turk Dynasty used to be overwhelming, but now they can only defend everywhere, and even need strategies to deal with it.

Once faced with forceful oppression, everything about the Han Dynasty would be revealed like a fig leaf, leaving no face left.

"This is what the ancestors said, I just use it to repeat it to you!"

When the crown prince showed surprise, Emperor Jing had no choice but to explain.

"According to the normal life expectancy, even if Emperor Qin can live to be over a hundred, there is nothing to worry about at this age." Emperor Jing added: "Even if he can live a long life, it is impossible for everyone in his army to live a long life. This generation hardly needs to worry about Qin Huang, and he doesn't have the capital to make a comeback."

"Father said yes!"

"The crisis that you really have to deal with after you ascend the throne comes from the fierce country. Beware of them taking advantage of the fire to cause a lot of foreign troubles and internal troubles. The other is from your future empress dowager and empress dowager. Their temperament tends to be conservative and stable. Moreover, the people in Xianting have repeatedly contacted the Empress Dowager in secret. Another thing is to be wary of your uncles. They may be bewitched by some hidden forces someday. There seems to be something wrong with the origin of Li Guang. You should use it with caution. Don't let it take power, and you need to prevent and control the schools of thought, there is still a terrifying old antique in their schools..."

In Weiyang Palace, Emperor Jing taught him by hand, and he almost didn't mention the situation by name.

Some topics are commonplace, and the prince listened to them over and over again, and when it came to the personnel changes in the court, the prince finally couldn't help asking.

"Then will I reuse Dr. Dong in the future?"

"The Emperor Qin killed the Confucian masters who were proficient in a hundred schools of thought. The Empress Dowager and the others also took this as a warning. All Confucianists will not be reused. If you want to reuse Confucianism, the Empress Dowager will definitely stop you." Emperor Jing After thinking about it again and again: "But times are always changing. It may have been necessary to guard against the Hundred Schools of School decades ago, and maybe it is no longer necessary in your era!"

Emperor Jing looked at the prince.

What is necessary and what is not, he hopes the prince can figure it out by himself.

When a person is weak, even his own wife and children are worried.

When a person is strong, even foreigners from different countries can use it to collect it into the account.

As long as the Han Dynasty has enough confidence to control and control, it doesn't matter who is employed, what kind of people are employed, and what school they belong to is even less important. The important thing is what these people can do and what they can bring to the Han Dynasty.
