outside the imperial city

This day was April 38th in the [-]th year of Emperor Shaoxuan, and there was a lively scene in Jingyang City.

The Celestial Dynasty ruled by the emperor, with Jingyang as its capital, was divided into eleven capitals.The ten capital cities other than Jingyang surround Jingyang City like stars holding the moon.Each city does not have a supreme leader, but is managed by a government composed of more than ten people, who must report the situation to the emperor or the central government officials every month.

The current emperor Shaoxuan is a good emperor, he came to the throne at the age of 25, and he has never made any foolish decisions since he took the throne for 38 years.

Although he is extremely lazy, he loves and cherishes talents and accepts virtuous people.There are rumors that as long as you are really talented, he can recruit you regardless of your background or past.Under his half-laissez-faire rule, the whole country lived in peace and harmony.

He also said that Jingyang City, the capital of the country, was not originally called Jingyang City. Jingyang was the name of the woman whom Emperor Shaoxuan loved most in his life.

I heard that this woman is beautiful and virtuous, she is the best candidate for motherhood, but it is a pity that she married a prince at that time, the best friend of Emperor Shaoxuan.

That's all, Emperor Shaoxuan thought, if you love someone, you must wish her happiness. If she can live like this, one day she will be able to untie her knot.

But more than ten years ago, there was civil strife in the court. The prince and his wife worked hard to consolidate their throne. Jingyang was pregnant but had to run around. She became pregnant and died of exhaustion after giving birth.Xu Shi's love was as deep as the sea, and her grief was excessive. Not long after, the prince also went with her.

Therefore, this became the pain of Emperor Shaoxuan's life, so he changed the capital of the country to Jingyang to commemorate it.

The child who was left behind is the current King of Jinyuan, Jing Lishuo.Both parents died, and the child became an orphan. Emperor Shaoxuan took him to his side to raise him.The emperor was originally guilty, it can be seen that he looks somewhat similar to Jing Yang, he is smart and diligent in learning, his love for him is getting better day by day, gradually, he treats him more than his own biological son.

Jing Lishuo inherited his mother's beauty, and even as a man, he is worthy of the term "overwhelming country and city".

There is a private school in the city called "Bi Zixuan", which invites well-known university scholars, and most of the royal relatives have studied here for a period of time.Back then, Jing Lishuo also studied here.

At that time, Jing Lishuo was immature, his aura was not as aggressive as it is now, and he was as humble as a jade. At the beginning, the children who were in the same private school thought he was a young lady from some family, and surrounded him every day. She flatters and flatters her in every possible way, even molesting her.

Finally one day, the little prince became angry, so he picked up the nameless sword hanging on the wall, and stabbed wildly at the encirclement without hesitation.

After that day, the other children in the private school understood that this person was not to be messed with, and seeing him from then on was like seeing a ghost; Emperor Shaoxuan also understood that this child was not only capable of literature but also martial arts, and from then on he was educated in both literature and martial arts.

Thanks to the excellent education of civil and military talents, Jing Lishuo set foot on the battlefield at the age of 16. He has made great military achievements at a young age, and has held half of the country's military power in his hands in the past few years.

The three characters of "Jing Shuo" are the names bestowed by the emperor. "眳" means unhappiness, and there is a poem saying: "眳眳气流眄, look at Qingcheng." This word can't be more suitable for this person.If this person is a woman, she will definitely be a beauty in the world, a beauty and a disaster.

Today is the 23rd birthday of this proud son, that is to say, the day when he returns home triumphantly after defeating the alien race.

The entire Jingyang City was decorated with lanterns and festoons, as grand as the emperor's wedding.Emperor Shaoxuan personally went to greet him outside the pass. He led more than ten princes, more than two hundred civil and military ministers, and thousands of guards and ceremonial teams, blocking the gate of the city.

In the distance, a large army came forward, but they knew that the emperor was waiting ahead, but they walked in a leisurely manner.Emperor Shaoxuan was not annoyed, but just smiled kindly.

Some noises gradually appeared among the civil and military officials.Although everyone in the world knew Emperor Shaoxuan's love for Jing Lishuo, officials who had little contact with Jing Lishuo were still shocked by his rebellious and rebellious behavior.

When the team was about 100 meters away from Emperor Shaoxuan, a red shadow suddenly flew out of the sedan chair in the middle of the team, and quickly landed in front of the emperor.

Jing Lishuo, who was wearing a general's uniform, knelt down in front of the emperor, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty has waited for a long time, and I am convicted." But there was no sense of shame.

Emperor Shaoxuan was overjoyed to see that he was in good health, and quickly helped him up: "Quick, quick, let me see you."

Among the crowd, some had seen King Jinyuan before, and some had seen him for the first time, but no matter who it was, they were all shocked the moment he looked up.Not to mention this man's good looks, his imposing manner alone is already frightening.Just after the war, and the servants came back from thousands of miles away, there was not a trace of tiredness on this man's face, his pair of Ruifeng eyes were piercingly open, as if he could emit brilliance.

Seeing this, Emperor Shaoxuan was even more delighted, and greeted his two sons: "Qianxiang, Qianling, come and see, has Li Shuo grown up a lot?"

Two men standing in the front row came out in response, the one in front was Prince Bei Qianxiang, and the one behind was Li Wang Bei Qianling who was two years younger than him.

No matter how powerful a person is, he cannot escape the tide of time.It was finally time for Emperor Shaoxuan to choose an heir.Emperor Shaoxuan had ten princes, but the only ones who could really sit on the dragon chair were Bei Qianxiang and Bei Qianling.The two have been fighting openly and secretly for a long time.

Emperor Shaoxuan was not stupid, he saw all the fights between the two of them, and he had a rough idea of ​​the candidate in his heart.But if he wanted to become emperor, he couldn't do without the support of this great general. He called the two out because he wanted to test Jing Lingsuo's attitude.

He is not stupid, and neither is Jing Yanshuo.It has not been a day or two since he formed an alliance with Bei Qianxiang, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to add fuel to the flames for the prince.He didn't have many reasons for choosing the prince, it was just because they grew up together, and he knew that Bei Qianxiang was a person who valued love and righteousness, and he would not fail the country or the people.

He didn't want to wade into this muddy water, but where there is power, there is bound to be struggle; where there is struggle, it is bound to bring disaster to the fish in the pond.It's a pity that walking in the swamp, how can you not get mud?

Thinking of this, he sighed silently, and bowed deeply to Bei Qianxiang: "His Royal Highness." Finally, he nodded to Bei Qianling: "Prince Li."

He is a willful person who dares to love and hate. He is not afraid of offending King Li, but Bei Qianling.

Bei Qianling smiled wryly in his heart and said: "This attitude is really clear." On the mouth, he said: "Brother Yan Shuo is really handsome." A "Brother Yan Shuo" pulled back the relationship between the two without a trace The speed of attack made Jing Lishuo have to sigh secretly.

The meaning of Emperor Shaoxuan's actions couldn't be more obvious.The original happy atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and the officials of Li Wang's party couldn't help but sweat in their hearts.

Jing Lishuo didn't want to turn against Bei Qianling immediately, so he went down the steps: "No matter where, Li Shuo can't compare to Lord Li's Yushu Linfeng."

Emperor Shaoxuan laughed twice, and held Jing Yanshuo's shoulders: "Jingshuo, you go back and take off your armor first, and take a rest. I have prepared a feast for you."

Snapped--

In Prince Li's mansion, there was a crisp sound of falling.The wind blew up the white curtain, and also the clothes of the person sitting inside the curtain.There was a faint smile on the corner of the man's mouth, and his eyes were full of seriousness.

"You came here just to tell me this?" The man in white picked up a white coin with his slender and fair fingers. "It seems that the emperor will take the next step soon."

Bei Qianling nodded: "I think so too. However, no matter what impact Jing Shuo's attitude will have on my winning the throne, even if I successfully ascend the throne, I cannot do without his help. Such a talent, but once in a hundred years Yes."

"Once in a hundred years..." The man in white twirled a lock of hair falling from his ear, and the hand holding it was still there.

"Qianling, you have to know, if a chess piece is too easy to use," he moved a sunspot away, "just grab it."

After saying that, put the white piece where the black piece was before.If the child falls, the winner or loser is determined.
