Xuanhuayin·Imperial Power

What about abdicating?

"To be honest, although this king looks strong, he has a brain disease, his memory is declining day by day, he can't remember many things, and he feels more and more powerless to deal with state affairs. Let the country be handed over to the prince while he is still awake, otherwise he will wait When you are confused, there will be violent storms." The more Xuan Chen spoke, the more sad he became, as if his life was not long.

The national teacher knelt on the ground with a thud, and said repeatedly, "Your Majesty deserves to die, for failing to share your majesty's worries."

"Get up, I didn't blame you, I just hope you can help the prince well."

"The minister must do his best."

"Okay, okay, with your words, the king is relieved, you go down first."

"My minister retire."

After the national teacher left, Xuan Chen sat alone in the main hall with a blank expression on his face, unable to see his inner thoughts at all.

"General Hua, time is running out, the task of protecting the little prince is entrusted to you." Xuan Chen entrusted his own flesh and blood to his lover, he was worried about others.

"Yes, I will protect him from any harm, even if it costs me my life." Hua Tianjun spoke of her determination.

Xuan Chen angrily scolded Hua Tianjun, "You are not allowed to die, you and the little prince have to save their lives for me, do you hear me?" After saying that, his eyes turned red, he was afraid of losing, really afraid.

Hua Tianjun could understand the meaning of Xuan Chen's emotions, but Hua Tianjun's heart warmed when he roared angrily.Xuan Chen was given a reassurance by saying "I will".

After Xuan Chen explained the matter, he left with Luo Sheng.

In the dead of night, Concubine Zhuang's bedroom looked different, with voices coming and going, very lively, after listening carefully, I was surprised to realize that the red tent had an infinite spring night.

After a long time, Concubine Zhuang lay on the man's chest, laughing, "I haven't seen you for a few days, and my kung fu will improve."

"Is the empress I serve comfortable?" The man said, his hands continued to walk on Concubine Zhuang's body.

"It's so comfortable, I'm about to fly."

"Your Majesty wants to fly, I'll help you at any time. However, I won't be able to take your Majesty to fly for a while." The man had an expression of involuntary helplessness.

"Why?" Concubine Zhuang was unhappy, and asked the reason quickly.

"Your Majesty asked me to assist the prince. He wants to pass the throne to the prince. The prince is too young, and I need to do many things, so the chances of taking my mother to fly will become less and less."

"Pass the throne to that little bastard, hmph, I'm so pissed off." When Concubine Zhuang heard this, she became furious. If the prince became king, she would become a concubine herself. One can imagine the bleak ending.

"Don't worry, I will often go to the cold palace to enjoy happy moments with my empress, and I will never let my empress feel lonely." The man's words were like a sharp knife piercing through the heart of Concubine Zhuang.

"You are a national teacher who is under one person and above ten thousand people, can't you prevent this from happening?" Concubine Zhuang hoped that the men around her could help her.

"Your Majesty, even though I am a teacher of the state, I cannot disobey the holy order. I cannot be unfaithful." The man seemed helpless.

"Listen to your majesty? You eat, drink and play with your majesty's money, and you sleep with your majesty's woman, who is happy and happy. Her whole body is dirty, but her mouth is full of benevolence and morality. I can see the color of your loyalty better than anyone else." For more than ten years, the understanding of a person is not limited to every night in the same bed.

"My little goblin, when she is angry, she has a special charm, which makes me really like it." After finishing speaking, Concubine Zhuang became a man's subordinate again, and she only wished she didn't become a man's palm.

After a night of lingering, Concubine Zhuang didn't look tired, but was in good spirits.In the early morning, accompanied by the maidservant, I went down to greet the queen, and the words were less harsh than usual, and more kind, which made people very uncomfortable.Concubine Zhuang suddenly became concerned about the little prince. Every time she went to pay her respects, she would always ask about the little prince's situation. In a blink of an eye, the little prince's birthday came.

On this day, the palace was decorated with lights and festoons, and it was very lively. Everyone was busy for the birthday of the little prince.

"Luo Sheng, are you all ready?" Xuan Chen asked Luo Sheng outside the hall, looking at the sky.

"It's all ready."

"The day is about to change, the sky is about to change." After speaking, he burst out laughing.

Suddenly, the guards came rushing over to report something, "It's not good, Your Majesty, something happened to the little prince, you should go and have a look."

"What happened?" Xuan Chen was very panicked.

"It is said that he fell into the pool, and has been in a coma since he was rescued."

"Lead the way ahead, go quickly." Xuan Chen was extremely anxious, wishing to see the little prince soon.

When they arrived, they found the little prince lying on the bed, pale and very weak.

"What happened? How did the little prince fall into the pool?" Xuan Chen wanted to know what happened.

"Your Majesty, the little prince and the maids around him were poisoned by the incense. When they were discovered, the maids fell to the ground in disarray, while the little prince fell into the pool. It can be seen that someone did it on purpose. Put the little prince to death."

"Have you found out who did it?"

"Found it."

"Who is it? No matter who it is, kill it." Xuan Chen said decisively.

"Your Majesty, yes, yes, it is Concubine Zhuang..."

"What? What did you say? What did you say?" Xuan Chen couldn't believe what he heard.

"It was done by Concubine Zhuang. The fragrance that the little prince was wearing was found in Concubine Zhuang's bedroom. When the little prince was found, some guards saw Concubine Zhuang and the maid coming out of the garden."

"Bring concubine Zhuang to me, I will ask you personally." Xuan Chen was not reconciled, his concubine would not be so ruthless, no, there must be something wrong, he had to figure it out.

After a while, Concubine Zhuang was brought here.

"Your Majesty, my concubine was wronged." Concubine Zhuang knelt down when she saw Her Majesty.

"Wronged? This king hasn't said anything yet, but you called out wronged first, and said, what's going on? Why is Mixiang in your bedroom, why did you appear in the garden?"

"Your Majesty, the concubine went to the garden just to relax, but the concubine really doesn't know why Mixiang appeared in the concubine's bedroom?" Concubine Zhuang tried her best to defend, but these things sounded so feeble.

"I still want to deny it, come here, and put Zhuang Concubine in prison and wait for her release."

Concubine Zhuang was taken out, "Your Majesty, my concubine has been wronged, Your Majesty..." Concubine Zhuang's pleading voice became smaller and smaller until it could no longer be heard.

☆、Chapter 16

Not long after, the little prince woke up, and seeing Xuan Chen burst into tears, Xuan Chen quickly hugged the little prince in his arms and kept comforting him, "Don't cry, don't cry, father is here, it's okay, it's okay "The little prince cried bitterly in Xuan Chen's arms, beside him, the queen had already burst into tears, the child finally woke up, and his hanging heart finally fell to the ground.

"Father, father, Ze'er is so scared."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. You are a man, and you will eventually become the king of a country. The world is yours. What else do you have to be afraid of?"

"Ze'er is a man, Ze'er is not afraid, not afraid."

"Good boy, this is what you should look like. You should take a good rest, today is your birthday, you should take a good rest first, and later, the father will give you a big gift."

"Well, Ze'er is obedient." After speaking, she lay down.Xuan Chen explained to his surroundings, "Be good at serving the prince, if there is any mistake, you will all be killed." After finishing speaking, he left.

"Your Majesty, where are we going?" Luo Sheng asked.

"Dragon, go chat with Concubine Zhuang."

Not long after, they came to the gate of the prison, "Luo Sheng, you wait outside, I will go in alone."

"But..." Luo Sheng was a little worried, hesitated to speak, and didn't know what to say.

"Nothing but, do as I say."

"Yes."

In this prison, Xuan Chen looked at his concubine with a feeling as if he had passed away, and he had forgotten when was the last time he looked at her seriously.

"Come on, let me take a good look at this face that once attracted me." Xuan Chen held Concubine Zhuang's face carefully, Concubine Zhuang kept silent and let Xuan Chen hold it. "Since when did this face wear a mask? Huh?"

"The concubine's face has not changed, but His Majesty's heart has changed." Concubine Zhuang said very calmly, she was a completely different person from before.

"Change? Of course, if it doesn't change, then wouldn't this king really be alone." Xuan Chen sneered.

"Your Majesty will not be alone. Your Majesty is good at turning his concubines into one person, alone, day after day, but fortunately, these days are coming to an end soon, and there is no longer any need to watch in the dark and cold night." That loneliness." Concubine Zhuang said sadly about her situation.

"Lonely? Didn't the national teacher warm you up?" As soon as Xuan Chen said this, the lovely and pitiful Concubine Zhuang immediately looked at Xuan Chen in surprise. "In the past ten years, you have not been lonely. Could it be that someone else has turned the clouds and rains in your spring night tent? As far as I know, your life is very exciting. You compete with other concubines to be jealous, harm the little prince everywhere, and collude with the court. The ministers of the Central Committee expanded their own power, and the generals colluded with foreign enemies, and you have a lot of credit in the middle..." Xuan Chen detailed Zhuang Concubine's actions over the years.

After hearing this, Concubine Zhuang sat down on the ground with a face ashen ashes, "I'm so stupid, you are the king of a country, how could you not know anything, I thought I was so smart, but I turned out to be just a self-righteous clown, hehe, really Funny. Why wait until now when you know all about it?"

"Why wait until now? That's because I can't bear to kill you. After all, you were my woman once, and the memory of that time cannot be erased."

"Yes, there were beautiful days before, but everything has changed, and I can't go back. My husband doesn't belong to me, and he will never belong to me." Concubine Zhuang cried sadly. What woman doesn't want to marry a lover? Her own man lived a happy life together, but no matter what she did, she couldn't achieve it. "Your Majesty, since you know everything, you should know that I did not do what happened this time."

"I know you didn't do it, but if you want to catch a big fish, you need this bait."

"Heh, if I can help His Majesty catch a big fish, my bait will be worth dying for."

"Whether you die or not depends on whether Big Yu loves you or not. If she loves you, she won't let you die. If he doesn't love you, he will kill you to protect himself. Take care of yourself." After speaking, she turned and left.

After leaving the prison, Xuan Chen said to Luo Sheng, "It's been more than ten years, and I still can't do anything. I can't forget her initial appearance."

"Your Majesty, don't forget if you can't forget, don't force yourself."

"Luo Sheng, let's go back." Xuan Chen and Luo Sheng left.

The man hiding in a corner of the prison saw His Majesty walking away, so he swaggered into the prison.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, how are you?" This man is the national teacher, and it is Concubine Zhuang who he came to visit.

"You are here." Concubine Zhuang said weakly.

"They didn't make things difficult for you, did they? Did you really harm the little prince?"

"I said no, do you believe it?"

"Of course I believe it." The national teacher nodded repeatedly.

"Are you here to kill me?" Concubine Zhuang changed the topic, and the national teacher who asked was caught off guard.

"Why kill you? It's too late for me to love you."

"Kill me, your secret will not be discovered, kill me, and you can sit back and relax."

The national teacher hugged the trembling concubine Zhuang, smiled and whispered in her ear, "You are right, if you kill you, I will still be the loyal national teacher; if you kill you, I will be a saint; You, I will be praised by future generations. But you have forgotten that if you kill you, I will lose my soul like a walking corpse; if you kill you, there will be no one to share the joy and sorrow." Concubine Zhuang's tears fell silently slide down the cheeks. "Tell me, will I kill you...of course I will kill you." After speaking, the dagger in her hand had pierced Concubine Zhuang's heart. "I have lost my soul for a long time. Only by killing you can I live." The woman in her arms was no longer breathing. She imagined how the sisters in the harem died by her hands, but she never thought about how she died.

The national teacher no longer had to worry about the future, and he came to the main hall according to the plan.In the empty hall, Xuan Chen was the only one.

"You're here." Xuan Chen said expressionlessly.

"It's coming, Your Majesty, are you in a hurry?"

"Don't worry, don't worry, the national teacher is reliable in doing things."

"Stop doing this, I've waited too long, just die." After speaking, he raised the sword in his hand and stabbed Xuan Chen, who dodged calmly, "What's the sound outside?"

"There are people out there who are here to take your head. The blood debt you owed will be paid by you today."

"Hahaha, today I can only leave some more blood debts, and you will be one of them."

"Stop talking nonsense, take your life." The national teacher's move is fatal, and he wants Xuan Chen's life, but Xuan Chen doesn't care, he just hides and doesn't attack, I don't know what kind of trick he is playing, if he continues to fight like this, the national teacher will be killed There is no advantage.

The sound of fighting outside the hall was endless, Luo Sheng was also in the middle of the battle, but Hua Tianjun was missing.

In the hall, Xuan Chen was still absent-mindedly dealing with the national teacher's desperate fight, as if he was delaying time, but as expected, Xuan Chen said suddenly: "National teacher, you are not worthy of this king to do it yourself, and my son can subdue you. " After finishing speaking, he shouted to the back of the palace, "Ze'er, the national teacher is entrusted to you."

Xuanze jumped up from the back of the hall, and stood in front of the national teacher with a majestic air. Is this the little prince who almost died today?The national teacher was a little confused.

"National teacher, if you want to sit on this throne, come and take it from me." Hearing this sentence from the little prince's mouth, the national teacher felt particularly harsh, and vowed to fight him.

The national teacher underestimated this child that he had never paid attention to, and opened his eyes today, but unfortunately it was too late. At this time, he had already vomited blood, his internal organs were all damaged, and there was still a black hole around his neck. With the sword in Ze's hand, he never imagined that he would be reduced to such a situation.After so many years of hard work, such a big game of chess, from the martial arts to the ruling and opposition parties, he lost.

"The national teacher vainly attempted to usurp the throne and kill the king. His crime is unforgivable. This is his fate." With a swipe of Xuan Ze's hand, the national teacher's head fell to the ground. "Did you see that? Whoever dares to do anything wrong in the future will be the end." Seeing that the national teacher died, those who followed him lost their minds and surrendered.

Xuan Chen, who was hiding in the dark, watched everything that happened intently, and said to Hua Tianjun beside him, "You see, he deserves to be my son for being so courageous at such a young age. We can rest assured."

"not worried."

On this day, Xuan Chen issued an edict announcing his abdication and passing the throne to Xuan Ze. This was a gift from his father, the jade seal of Xixie Kingdom, which carried a heavy responsibility.

Since then, there has been no news of Xuan Chen and Hua Tianjun, and I don't know where they are living a happy life.The Queen Mother, the King and Luo Sheng are also happily living the earthly life.

"If the power of the throne is the moon at night, then Uncle Hua is the sun during the day, and my father is a sunflower that always grows towards the sun. No matter how bright the moon is, it is still not as warm as the sun. What about you? Find your sun Have you?" Xuan Ze stood on the tower, overlooking the vast world, thinking of his father.
