Chapter 192 When I Was a Kid!
"Brother Imperial, I haven't seen you for many years. Is the dragon in good health?"
"How can you stay healthy when there are rebellious officials and traitors everywhere?"
"Since he is a rebellious minister and traitor, it is enough for the emperor to kill him. Isn't it enough that there are 800,000 forbidden troops in the capital for the emperor to command?"
"Everyone can find the traitorous ministers and traitors and punish them. The words of the emperor's brother will relieve my worries."
The frost on the emperor's face melted quietly, and he said with a smile: "The emperor has been out wandering the world for more than a month. Is there anything interesting you can tell me?"
Chu Yang shook his head and said, "I didn't see anything interesting. Along the way, I only saw people dying of hunger all over the land. The people were in dire straits. The demon clan was raging in the southern land, and the people were miserable."
"Oh?" The emperor raised the corner of his mouth and said playfully: "I didn't expect that you would actually learn to care about the people in the world after you went out. This is not your style."
"The famous virtuous king doesn't go to brothels, doesn't drink wine, and isn't arrogant and extravagant. Is it possible that he still has to start writing papers and take care of everything?"
As the emperor's voice gradually became colder, the temperature in the royal study seemed to drop a bit, and Wei Zhongxian shuddered suddenly.
Cao Zhengchun and Yu Huatian, who were standing by the door, stared at Chu Yang's back, with their hands behind their backs, silently working on their skills.
Chu Yang smiled and nodded, "It should be so."
The emperor stared at Chu Yang with murderous intent in his eyes. He grabbed the paperweight on the table and smashed it towards Chu Yang.
Chu Yang flicked his finger, and the sword energy chopped the paperweight into powder, and the broken stones scattered everywhere.
This movement frightened Wei Zhongxian who was closest to the two of them. The old eunuch fell to his knees with a plop, trembling.
Cao Zhengchun and Yu Huatian's expressions changed, and they stepped forward at the same time, about to take action!
"Back off!"
The emperor shouted angrily, "This is the imperial study, it's not your turn to act wild."
Cao Zhengchun and Yu Huatian stopped at the same time. They knelt on the ground and shouted, "I don't dare."
Chu Yang sighed softly, "Two factories and one guard, plus the Dragon Guard Villa, what else can happen in the world that can escape the eyes of the emperor? Why should the emperor do some boring tests."
"This little thing won't make Brother Huang angry, so there's no need to deliberately act in front of me."
When the emperor heard this, the anger on his face disappeared in an instant, and he nodded calmly and said: "You make me feel familiar to you now, just like you were when I was a child."
"Although he is very young, he is more mature than most princes. He is so mature that it makes people feel scary."
The joy, anger, sorrow and joy are indescribable. No one here can guess what the emperor in front of him is thinking, but just seeing him like this is enough to make people feel chilly in their hearts.
The three powerful eunuchs felt a sense of awe for the first time in their hearts. They all felt that they had underestimated the emperor in the past.
This magnanimity is no worse than that of the late emperor.
Chu Yang replied meaningfully: "Brother Huang was not as calm as he is now when he was a child..."
The emperor knew what Chu Yang was talking about and smiled deliberately: "Is the lake in the palace cold?"
Chu Yang nodded and said: "It's biting cold, like falling into hell."
The emperor lamented: "After all, it is not a real hell."
If it were a real hell, you wouldn't climb out and you wouldn't have so many troubles.
He never regretted pushing Chu Yang into the lake, but he regretted not making up for it at that time.
Chu Yang understood what he was thinking, and shook his head with regret as well: "I thought you would have a trace of guilt in your heart."
The emperor looked at Chu Yang contemptuously and said disdainfully: "I really didn't expect such childish words to come out of your mouth. It's disappointing."
Chu Yang smiled and said, "I will not let you down in the future."
After saying that, Chu Yang turned around and walked out of the house.
The emperor's unexpected voice came from behind him.
"No revenge?"
"It's just kids having fun."
While speaking, Chu Yang had already walked out of the imperial study, and Cao Zhengchun and Yu Huatian then raised their heads and looked at the emperor, as if asking if they wanted to take action.
The emperor glanced at them, shook his head in disappointment, and silently sat back on the chair. After a while, when there was no sound outside the house, he suddenly said: "More than twenty years ago, a meteorite fell from the sky outside the capital. The Shenhou Mansion took away most of it. It was used to make weapons for killing demons. The late emperor was so happy that he also took some of it to create some calligraphy treasures for his study. "
"The paperweight just now is one of them. It is extremely tough and can hardly be damaged by ordinary masters."
Cao Zhengchun's body trembled, and Yu Huatian's face turned ugly. They naturally knew about the meteorite from outside the sky. Zhuge Shenhou's unique weapon, as well as the weapons of the four famous capturers, were all made from this meteorite.
It can be called a rare magic weapon in the world.
Cao Zhengchun asked softly: "Did your Majesty deliberately use that paperweight to test the wise king?"
"Nonsense!" The dissatisfaction in the emperor's eyes almost turned into reality, and he said viciously: "If you two slaves couldn't even figure out his cultivation level, why would I let him enter the palace and pretend to act like this? A show?"
Yuhuatian immediately shouted: "This slave deserves to die!"
The emperor sneered and said: "Don't be too busy talking about death. When the Mid-Autumn Festival comes, I will let the wise king enter the palace to admire the moon. If you can't join hands to take him down by then, I will kill all nine of your tribes."
Cao Zhengchun said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, if King Xian's martial arts cultivation is really that powerful, it will be really difficult for us to deal with him alone, and I'm afraid it will ruin your Majesty's plan."
Yuhuatian saluted and said, "What Eunuch Cao said is true."
If things have reached this point, if you still dare to take over everything, you are simply seeking death. Cao Zhengchun understands that Yuhuatian knows better, so the two of them stand together without hesitation.
"You two dog slaves can think of things that I can't think of?"
The emperor turned to look at Wei Zhongxian who was kneeling on the ground, frowned and asked: "How is the training of the Imperial Army, General Li Chengliang?"
Wei Zhongxian said tremblingly: "Reporting to your Majesty, General Li said that the Imperial Army is united and only recognizes your Majesty's decree."
Forced by the threats of the six major forces, civil servants and military generals finally reached cooperation. The civil servant group headed by Yan Song elected Li Chengliang to become the instructor of the Forbidden Army, commanding the 800,000 Forbidden Army stationed in the capital.
The emperor was naturally aware of the little moves between the two groups, but for him, Li Chengliang was indeed a good candidate.
Li Chengliang, who had just taken over the Imperial Army, showed a vigorous and resolute style.
He dispersed all Guo Bujing's former subordinates and sent them elsewhere, and then placed all his old subordinates brought from Liaodong into the Forbidden Army.
He used various means to take control of the army in just a few days.
"You two can't take him down, then adding these 800,000 forbidden troops should be enough, right?"
The emperor's eyes were like daggers, coldly cutting across the faces of Cao Zhengchun and Yu Huatian.
"This servant is loyal to your Majesty to the death, please rest assured, Your Majesty!"
The two of them answered in unison.
The emperor seemed to have accomplished something extremely important. He leaned back on his chair and breathed a long sigh of relief: "Hulong Villa, Shenhou Mansion, and the six doors are all unreliable at the critical moment. If the trouble here is over, they will be gone. The necessity of existence.”
"From now on, the affairs of these three companies will be left to your East and West factories."
Drawing a pie is a professional skill that a boss must master.
Especially a boss as big as the emperor.
Cao Zhengchun and Yu Huatian had been working hard in the palace for so many years, and they both knew that he was drawing a cake, but honestly speaking, it was hard not to be moved.
In fact, not to mention completely replacing the two lords and one school, even if they take some power from their hands, the two factories can completely turn around.
Just now, the two people said that they would fight to the death to be loyal to the emperor. At most, they only meant it verbally. However, at this moment, they really had the idea of fighting to the death.
As the saying goes, wealth is gained through risk. If the benefits are sufficient, any price can be paid.
As a third party observer, Wei Zhongxian suddenly felt that the emperor was scary after seeing the fanatical expressions on the faces of Cao Zhengchun and Yu Huatian...
at the same time.
Chu Yang had already left the palace.
When he came in a sedan, when he left, there was no one around to see him out of the palace. The guards guarding the palace gate couldn't help laughing when they saw this, as if nothing happened to the prince was surprising.
But he felt that this was wrong, so he immediately returned to his stern face and looked straight ahead.
"You can laugh if you want. What are you doing with a straight face? Doesn't it look good to me?"
"Your Majesty, calm down, I don't dare to do this for you!"
"A manly man, you don't even dare to admit it when you laugh a few times. Fortunately, you are a guard. I don't know who taught you."
"Your Majesty, you can scold me, but you cannot scold Mr. Guo."
"Hey, you have a bad temper. Now you know how to talk back. Why didn't you say anything just now? What's your name?"
"Back to my lord, my humble name is Bupleurum."
Seeing Chu Yang's reluctance, the imperial guard knew that he would not be able to escape the disaster today, so he had the consciousness of breaking a broken jar, and his attitude suddenly became hardened.
Chu Yang was stunned for a moment, "What is it called? Say it again."
The imperial guard looked unhappy and had a reckless temperament on his body. He cupped his fists and said, "My name is Bupleurum. I got my name from the doctor in the town. It doesn't sound very nice. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"That's not what you mean." Chu Yang waved his hand and looked up and down at the guard named Bupleurum in front of him, and suddenly found that the guard was very strong, like a master of horizontal training.
The reason why he was so surprised was because this man named Bupleurum was supposed to be a member of Li Gexiao's [Yizhimei] team. He was nicknamed the "River Bandit" and specialized in robbing the rich and giving to the poor.
But now he has become a guard and is on duty at the gate of the Forbidden City.
"Did Mr. Guo bring you into the Forbidden Army?"
"Yes, your lord has been kind to me."
"Hehe, your kid committed a crime and was caught by Mr. Guo. He just sent you into the Imperial Army for training so that you could make up for your mistakes, right?"
"How...how did you know?!"
Buihu became very panicked. Only Guo Bujing knew that he was a "big robber", and the other party promised him that he would never tell anyone else.
Where did the "Prince of Waste" in front of me know this?
A ruthless look flashed in Chaihu's eyes. He finally decided to settle down and live a peaceful life. How would he live his life if his true identity was known.
If it really doesn't work, I can only take cruel measures...
"Silly man, can you use your brain? This is the gate of the palace. If you start here, aren't you seeking death?"
"You don't think the guards patrolling nearby are all fools, do you?"
Chu Yang looked at him speechlessly.
After hearing this, the ferocious expression on Bupleurum's face gradually disappeared, and he returned to his harmless appearance, with clear stupidity in his eyes.
It doesn't matter whether he kills or not. The stupid guy just stands there, helpless.
Chu Yang was too lazy to tease him anymore and said, "Since you know Master Guo, you might as well go back and ask him, he will give you the answer. You'd better not be a guard because of your temper. Sooner or later, you will cause big trouble."
After saying that, Chu Yang left, and Chai Hu looked at his back with a blank expression.
Chaihu didn't know that in Chu Yang's opinion, he had great potential, and it was a pity for him to stay in the palace as a guard.
Perhaps Guo Bujing just wanted to hone him and then take him to the Six Gates as a head of the police. If he didn't have this qualification, he and Li Gexiao couldn't be teammates.
And the one who knows thieves best must be the thief. On this point, the famous thief-hunting expert "Thief Saint" Bai Zhantang has a lot to say.
From this, it can be seen how suitable Chaihu, as a "thief who turned the river over, is for the work of the Six Gates.
…
The location of the Xianwang Mansion is very special. As the biggest playboy in the capital, Chu Yang's mansion is not in the most prosperous area, but only one street away from the slums.
The so-called slums are the gathering places of some people engaged in menial jobs.
Retired soldiers, blacksmiths, actors, thieves, pickpockets, and other professions that can't be on the stage, almost all huddle together for warmth, but there is also a chain of contempt between each other.
Interestingly, the bottom of the contempt chain is actually the prince Chu Yang.
Being neighbors with the prince, no one would think it was a glorious thing, but it might make the ancestral tomb explode. This prince was the most famous joke in the capital, and anyone who got close to him might become the next joke.
When Lu Xiaofeng first came to the Xianwang Mansion, he thought he had taken the wrong road. The mansion, which was more spacious than the Jile Building, had only two or three old servants and maids.
I heard from the old housekeeper that the current emperor dismissed most of the servants in the mansion in order to punish the prince for his extravagance and debauchery.
Chu Yang did not come back to the mansion often because of this. He spent all day outside drinking and partying. They could not even see Chu Yang for several years.
The clever Lu Xiaofeng heard a different meaning from this speech.
"Our emperor is very wary of his brothers. He doesn't even keep any young and strong men in the mansion, for fear that the prince will rebel."
"You have become the emperor, but you are still suspicious all day long. Is this necessary?"
"You are wrong. It is because you are the emperor that you are suspicious. Only beggars are not afraid of being targeted by thieves."
Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zhaixing had a heated discussion about this in the courtyard of the Xianwang Mansion, and they didn't realize that Chu Yang had come behind them.
"You two are almost there. Who are you talking about?"
Chu Yang interrupted their conversation with an unhappy look on his face.
Lu Xiaofeng looked back and saw Chu Yang, and said in surprise: "Prince, you left the palace alive?!"
Chu Yang glared at him angrily, "Lu Xiaoji, what are you talking about here? Are you expecting me to die in there?"
Lu Xiaofeng smiled awkwardly: "How can that be? I am just worried about you. The emperor is guarding against you like a thief. What if I can't help it..."
Chu Yang said: "I can help it today, but I don't know what will happen in two days."
Lu Xiaofeng put away his smile and asked seriously: "Mid-Autumn Festival?"
"He probably wants to invite me to the palace to enjoy the moon." Chu Yang smiled and said calmly: "I wanted to watch the show, but I didn't expect to become the protagonist."
"I hope you don't let me down." (End of this chapter)
