The next day, Li Xian returned to Wuyang with his second brother Li Wei. Xia Qingqing officially takes over Anyang!
The imperial mausoleum has been very important since ancient times, and the construction of the imperial mausoleum is a huge project. Sometimes in order to build the imperial mausoleum, it can even bring down a country.
Why is it so important to build the imperial mausoleum? Nobody knows! This secret seems to be circulated only in the royal family.
Throughout all historical records, almost all emperors ordered the construction of imperial tombs at the same time on the day they took the position of emperor; only a very small number of emperors would build imperial tombs before their death. Only emperors who died unexpectedly would build imperial mausoleums after death.
"There must be secrets that we don't know!" Li Wei finally came to this conclusion.
"Yeah, the second brother is really smart, why didn't I think of it?"
"Stop making sarcastic remarks to me. Hurry up."
The two bickered like this and rushed all the way back to Wuyang. First he went home to see his father, and then Li Xian dragged a big box over. After Li Yulong opened the box, he gasped again. There were 100 spirit stones in the box!
If it works well, these one hundred spirit stones can even destabilize an empire.
After watching for a long time, Li Yulong suddenly asked Li Xian, "Is the deal with the Hai Clan guaranteed?"
"As long as I hold the secret of stainless steel in my hands, there is a guarantee!"
"Stainless steel?" Li Yulong pondered for a long time, "Let your craftsmen swear and swear to everyone who knows the secret of stainless steel."
Li Xian had a confident smile on his face: "Father, this matter has been done long ago, otherwise the secret of stainless steel would have been leaked long ago."
"Heh, I've really grown up. Looking at it now, it's your second brother who hasn't grown up yet..."
Li Wei is dissatisfied; "Father, I have grown up a long time ago! When my little brother is mischievous, I will kill the enemy on the battlefield!"
Li Yulong smiled slightly, "Second brother, although you are supervising the construction of the imperial tomb in name this time, you should not interfere in the actual process and let Li Xian be in charge of it. You are very good at marching and fighting, but when it comes to these When it comes to transactional work, you are really inferior to your elder brother and your third younger brother."
"Don't worry, don't worry, Dad, the biggest advantage of me is that I don't like trouble. That's why I became a general. See who doesn't like it, cut it with a knife, and it will always be pleasing to the eye."
Li Xian: ...
The corner of Li Yulong's mouth twitched, and finally snorted, "Xiaoxian, go to the palace and meet His Majesty. Hey..."
In the end, Li Yulong was also in a waning mood; obviously, the changes in the court of the Great Xia Kingdom made Li Yulong extremely speechless.
Li Xian drove the carriage to the palace; every time he came to the palace, Li Xian would bring gifts; of course, every time Li Xian would make a lot of money.
It was still Fu Minghui who received Li Xian, but the Fu Minghui he saw now made Li Xian hardly believe it. That high-spirited head of the imperial bodyguard, the number one celebrity around the emperor, is now haggard, with a few strands of white hair on his temples! This is a master of the golden core period, and there are gray hairs on the sideburns?
"Lang Zhongling, is your health okay?"
Fu Minghui smiled wryly, "It doesn't matter my health, it's just that I'm a little crazy, I just calm down and adjust my breath in the future. But your majesty, ah... let's go."
Before entering the palace, Li Xian smelled an indescribable smell, it wasn't very bad, but it wasn't very good either, but it was full of decaying smell like dead wood.
After seeing the emperor, Li Xian was really stunned. The once high-spirited emperor is now as thin as a little old man, like a woodcarving carved from rotten wood; if it wasn't for the yellow robe on his body and the concubine Huagui and the queen beside him , who would dare to believe that this is His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom?
"I've seen..."
"Call me father-in-law." The emperor's voice was hoarse and weak, but his tone was very calm.
Li Xian immediately changed his words: "I have seen my father-in-law and my mother-in-law."
As for Concubine Hua, she was thrown aside. Since he was meeting his father-in-law and mother-in-law, it had nothing to do with Concubine Hua Gui.
His Majesty the Emperor waved everyone back, leaving only Li Xian and Fu Minghui behind. Then the first sentence His Majesty opened his mouth left Li Xian dumbfounded. This sentence is:
"Xiaoxian, I've been poisoned. Unfortunately, I don't know what it is, but I can clearly feel that I still have three years to live."
Li Xian was completely sluggish for a moment, not knowing what to say or how to react. If it is the five declines of heaven and man, it can also be said to be caused by being stimulated and going crazy; but poisoning is a serious political incident!
His Majesty the Emperor seemed to be able to see it, and even smiled, although the smile was ugly. "Come, come to me, let me take a good look."
Li Xian walked up to His Majesty the Emperor, seeing such an emperor, finally couldn't bear it, "Father-in-law, if there is a spirit stone, can it prolong your life?"
Li Xian didn't ask who poisoned him and so on.
"This toxin is aimed at my soul. That's why it shows the five declines of heaven and man. I'm already very pleased that you have this heart.
Xiaoxian, do you know that being an emperor is really too lonely. It can be said that everyone is betrayed. From the time I took this position, I was a loner.
In fact, I understand the thoughts of all the officials in the court. I also understand your little thoughts.
Hey, it's rare to be confused. Understand so what, still powerless. "
What Li Xian heard was breaking out in cold sweat; sure enough, there is no emperor in the world who seems to be the same as him!
The emperor patted Li Xian on the shoulder, "Great Xia Kingdom could not survive ten years ago. It was your father who delayed the life of Great Xia Kingdom for ten years.
I want to use these ten years to change my fate against the sky, but God's will is hard to disobey.
And your sudden awakening made me see hope again, and your idea of rejuvenating the country through industry and commerce inspired me a lot. I know that you have selfish intentions; but you have not replaced the wolf heart of the Great Xia Kingdom. This is enough, enough, who has no selfishness. "
Hearing this, the heart in Li Xian's throat was finally let go.
After a slight pause, the emperor finally got into the core topic, "Xiaoxian, there are not many people I can trust as a dying person, so what I have to say next is more important."
Without any hesitation, Li Xian quickly swore that there would be no word about what happened today, otherwise his soul would fly away.
Well, don't say no at this time, even a little hesitation may lose your head; didn't you see that Fu Minghui's hand was already on the hilt of the sword!
But after taking the oath, Li Xian was surprised to find that this "soul flying away" oath seemed to have no effect on him at all? ! Other vows have been successful before, so why can't the vow of soul flying and wilting be successful? If the vow is successful, I will feel a sense of restraint, but this time I don't have such a feeling!
Wait, crap, the Li Xian of this world has long since lost his soul! Of course the oath is useless!
Li Xian was overjoyed that he had discovered something other than this! I will swear in the future, and we will hang on to the words "soul flying away and scattered"!
After hearing Li Xian's oath, His Majesty the Emperor smiled with satisfaction. Then, finally revealed a shocking secret, a shocking secret about the imperial mausoleum!
