The Demon Queen of Divine Doctor is not to be trifled with

Chapter 649: After an incident, he became an emperor

It is indeed as Wu Fei said, Shi Liyuan would give successive emperors of Northern Qi a chance to gain experience every ten or twenty years.

He would go out and travel, no longer asking about Northern Qi's affairs, nor paying attention to the disputes in the world. Even if other countries invaded Northern Qi, he would ignore them all. As long as Northern Qi was not invaded, nothing could break this rule.

The emperors of the Northern Qi Dynasty figured out this rule, and other countries also figured out this rule.

Therefore, during the years when the Emperor traveled, wars usually broke out frequently and conflicts among countries reached their peak.

The Northern Qi emperor would use those years to grow thoroughly, or completely realize that he was not suitable for this position, and thus abdicate, or be replaced by someone else in the royal family.

But fortunately, nothing serious has happened in the past few hundred years.

Now it was Quan Qingcheng's turn, but he was very uneasy. He said to Wu Fei, "I've read the foundation stone. The emperor usually travels five years after he ascends the throne. If there is a young emperor who has not yet taken power, he will choose to wait until the young emperor grows up and takes power before leaving Lin'an City. But I am not even eighteen yet, and I haven't taken power or gotten married yet. Why is the emperor leaving so quickly? Do you think he and Sister Wen Yan have encountered something that they are in a hurry to solve? What could it be?"

Wu Fei certainly didn't know what it was, but he told Quan Qingcheng, "No matter what it is, as long as the Emperor takes action, it will definitely be solved in the best way. Since the Emperor has not said anything, the Emperor does not need to worry about it. For hundreds of years, the division of labor between the Emperor and the royal family has been very clear. The government and the country belong to the royal family, and other matters beyond this scope are handled by the Emperor."

Quan Qingcheng nodded, "Yes, I understand, but when it was my turn to be the emperor, Lord Emperor left so quickly, I was a little flustered. I was afraid that if something happened during this period, I would be ashamed of Lord Emperor and my sister's cultivation of me."

Wu Fei looked at him for a while, and suddenly smiled, "Perhaps the emperor himself has not realized it, but I have seen the changes in the emperor over the past six months. The emperor has grown up, and is no longer the child who knew nothing when he first ascended the throne.

When you first ascended the throne, I was worried every day. I kept thinking that such a naive prince was suddenly helped to ascend the throne. I dared not say much and could not do much. There was also a regent in control of the court. I was sure that you would be bullied to death by those ministers.

Later, you were determined to get close to Fourth Miss Ye, and used Fourth Miss Ye as a bridge to get in touch with Lord Emperor. I thought again, this little emperor is quite thoughtful, he knows how to find a backer for himself, and he also knows how to climb up with this step. With Fourth Miss Ye and the Emperor as your backers, no one in the court will dare to bully you in the future. "

Quan Qingcheng also laughed, "Yes, this is also my little thought. I am indeed looking for a backer for myself. I have been looking for a backer for myself since the day I knew I would become the emperor. Sister Wen Yan used such a magical method to cure my throat and let me speak. I knew she was definitely not an ordinary person. So I clung to her thighs tightly. Even though I am one year older than her, I am still willing to chase her and call her sister. I hope she will recognize me as her brother and help me when I encounter problems in the future.

Facts have proved that I made the right bet on this treasure. Now I not only have my sister, but also my brother-in-law, Emperor Zun. Even tomorrow at the palace banquet in Yanhua Palace, Lord Emperor Zun will accept me as his disciple. I know that this must be my sister's idea. It was my sister who took the initiative to give me such a powerful backer. She wanted to protect my kingdom and make those who had ulterior motives think twice before calculating against me. Is Lord Emperor Zun's disciple someone they can afford to offend?

In fact, my sister must understand all my little thoughts. She is so smart, how could she not see through what a mortal like me is thinking. But she didn't say anything, and she endured it silently, letting me use her as a stepping stone, a springboard, to climb up step by step to a high position and consolidate my imperial power. Wu Fei, how should I repay this favor? It can never be repaid, right? I don't know why my sister did this, and I don't know why I deserved her to do this. But she did it, so she is my great benefactor. Maybe I am destined to let down many people in my life, but Sister Wen Yan, I will never let her down. "

Quan Qingcheng stood up, and the night wind blew across his face, which was gentle, just like his mother caressing his cheek when he was a child, calling him Qingcheng again and again. He couldn't speak at that time, and couldn't even call out "mother concubine" when he wanted to.

Thinking back to the past, life is much better now.

"Perhaps what mother said is right, Wu Fei, I do need a queen with background and ability. I can't rely on my sister and the emperor all my life. I have to be successful and rely on myself. So I have to learn how to plan and strategize, how to weigh the pros and cons, how to make sacrifices, and also understand what it means to be alone."

His youthful innocence will one day be covered by reality, hidden in a corner, and never to be found again. That will also become his lifelong nostalgia, and the beginning that he can never go back to. "It will take a change to become a true emperor. My sister said she is looking forward to that day, and I am looking forward to that day too. At the same time, I will also be fully prepared for that day to come."

As for his sixth brother... maybe this will be a major test for him on his road to becoming an emperor. It is always difficult to have everything in the world. If he doesn't choose between affection and dignity, morality and rights, someone will force him to choose. I hope that by that time, it won't hurt too many people.

"Where is the emperor going?" Seeing Quan Qingcheng walking forward, Wu Fei hurriedly followed.

Quan Qingcheng waved his hand and didn't let him follow. He just told him: "I'm going to talk to my father. Eunuch Wu, please wait here!"

In the Fengxian Hall, incense is burned all year round, and eunuchs guarding the hall will always add new incense at any time during the twelve hours of the day.

The palace people were not too surprised that Quan Qingcheng came here at this time. Those who could come to Fengxian Hall were the most noble people in the palace, and they were also people who had encountered difficulties. They would come here to talk to their ancestors when they had something on their mind, and they usually chose to come here at night to talk to their ancestors.

The palace servants left the hall, closed the door, and gave Quan Qingcheng three new incense sticks before leaving.

Quan Qingcheng held the three incense sticks, but did not rush to light them. Instead, he put them aside and kowtowed three times to the ancestral tablets.

He asked the ancestors of the Quan family, "Did no one expect that the next monarch would be a little mute like me? Especially father, you didn't think about it, did you? During the New Year's Palace Banquet, you wrote my name on your will, and I once thought that you originally intended to pass the throne to me. But later I realized that it was a modified will, and you originally favored your legitimate son, the Sixth Prince, born to the Empress of the Central Palace. It's a pity that he was not ambitious, and a grand wedding made him have no children and grandchildren, so naturally he couldn't sit on the throne. Father, don't be angry, there is only Lord Emperor in the world who has the ability to change the will without anyone knowing, and the handwriting is exactly the same as yours. Since the matter was done by Lord Emperor, you can't say anything.

Of course, you have returned to dust now, and even if you want to say something, you have nowhere to say it, so just listen to my child!

You don't know about Sixth Brother yet, right? But I know. He is not your son, he is the son of the Regent and Queen Mother Li. And not just one, but two. One of the two children was raised in the palace, and the other was raised secretly by the Regent. They played a big game, wanting to get the throne, wanting to be the Queen Mother and the Emperor, but unfortunately they didn't succeed.

Father, please don't be angry. It's useless to be angry. After all, you didn't do anything against them when you were alive, and there will be no accounts to settle now that you are dead.

Let's all be thankful, thankful that Fourth Miss Ye killed that fake prince with one blow, so that the throne would not fall into the hands of others. Otherwise, the one kneeling here talking to you now would no longer be your biological son, and you would feel ironic even if you died."

The candle flame in front of the spirit tablet flickered twice, like the anger of the late emperor or the accusation of the ancestors.

But Quan Qingcheng was not afraid at all. He knelt straighter and stood up straighter. He told the late emperor: "You have no right to blame me, because those were the mistakes you made when you were alive. I was appointed to take over the throne in times of crisis. I have been cleaning up the mess you left behind. I have never complained about the hardship, so how could you be suffering?"

You have been in power for decades, and you have been working hard to cultivate the son you thought was your legitimate son, but you have ignored me, your youngest son. Even though my mother took such good care of you, you didn't even look at me a few times. Sometimes when I think of these things, I feel sorry for my mother and think that you are not worthy of her wholehearted love.

Now that I am the emperor, I will give my mother all the best and make up for all the suffering she has endured at your hands in the past.

As for your two sons who are not your own, just wait and see. Sooner or later, I will ask them to pay me back. Even if the regent persecutes me to death, I will fight him to the end. Even at the last moment, I will not give up.

Tomorrow I will worship the Emperor as my teacher. I hope my father and all my ancestors will be proud of this. This is the supreme honor of our Quan family, and it is a major event that deserves to be written into the family tree more than the imperial power. I am a little mute who has never been cared about, but I also have my own abilities and luck. I hope this is a good start, and I also ask my ancestors to bless me and let me be a good emperor. "

He left the ancestral hall and looked back as he went out. The candle flame was still flickering. He didn't know whether it was a blessing or a mockery.

He waved towards the ancestral hall, swung his wide sleeves, and walked away.

The palace servants guarding the palace watched the emperor walk away, and suddenly felt that the emperor's back became taller, no longer the inconspicuous little emperor before.

At noon, the imperial carriage of Yanhua Palace stopped at the gate of the First-Rank General's Mansion. Lian Shi, wearing a brand new purple robe, raised his whisk and shouted loudly - "Yanhua Palace respectfully welcomes the Emperor and Empress to enter the palace!"
