Long Live The Emperor! Chapter 10: Daqi Palace, 4 years later
The monarch of the Qi Kingdom is simply frightened.
The national teacher is gone.
The sect elders are gone.
They all evaporated directly from the world, leaving no trace.
He wanted to think that this was a mysterious powerhouse guarding the palace.
But he quickly slapped himself awake.
No matter how strong it is, can a supernatural powerhouse of the twelve realms disappear without leaving the slightest trace of a fight? ?
This is still a strong man, this is a **** at all.
Would a **** shelter the palace of a mortal dynasty?
No.
What's more, there are many dynasties today, but I have never heard of real records of ghosts and gods in the world.
The strong move mountains and seas, killing people can be invisible through karma.
But there are never real ghosts, just powerful people.
And some myths circulated in ancient times are mostly just to add a little fun to the entertainment in the goulan of the market.
The monarch of the state of Qi regained consciousness. He ordered someone to deliver medicine to Tian Prison and gave it to Shan Xin. Then he quietly released the guard, gave him a lot of money, and sent someone to help Shan Xin in Qi. Purchase a mansion in a city next to the capital city and resettle again.
After doing all this in secret, he sent his father-in-law to Qingfeng Wuzong to report "Jiyun's disappearance".
If the national teacher is missing, there is still a little possibility that he ran away.
Then the disappearance of Elder Jiyun makes no sense at all.
This can only mean one thing, there is something wrong with the palace.
Where is the problem.
I don't know.
No one knows.
...
...
"I see."
Xiao Wu suddenly touched his palm and said, "Xiao Yu must be drinking."
Hua Xiaochan was speechless, "Sister Wu, Xiaoyu is only one year old, he is still a child."
Xiao Wudao: "Then why doesn't he drink milk obediently or eat milk porridge, but just stare at the wine glass?"
Hua Xiaochan turned slightly to the side and looked at the one-year-old boy in her arms.
Xia Ji rolled his eyes away, no longer staring at the wine glass. He just stared at the jade wine glass inadvertently just now when he was in a trance.
He doesn't drink milk or porridge, just because he's full.
Xiao Wu said in surprise: "He can understand us."
Hua Xiaochan lowered her head and gently tapped on the boy's face: "It's so cute."
She showed a gentle smile, and for some reason, she felt much better.
To be honest, some rumors have been circulating in the palace recently.
It is said that there is a mysterious and unfathomable monster hidden in the depths of the palace.
And the national teacher and the elder were all killed by that monster.
Of course, no one dared to spread this rumor, and if it was a small talk, it would be kept secret, and no one dared to openly discuss it.
Hua Xiaochan doesn't understand what kind of monster can make the national teacher and elder disappear silently.
But in addition to her fear, she felt a little more relaxed.
At least, the person this monster killed made her feel fortunate and happy.
It's not just her, everyone in the entire palace is probably happy.
As long as you don't get involved with them, that's a good thing.
Is it possible?
No one knows.
As a result, people in the court became nervous, especially Ya Fei.
She was the focus of the elder's investigation, but the elder suddenly disappeared...
If we investigate later, this matter will definitely not be circumvented.
Ya Fei was worried, and the others were also frightened.
Hua Xiaochan couldn't help holding her son tightly in her arms. She was full of worries, for fear that her son would be involved in this dark and turbulent storm...
The next day...
Concubine Chan took Xiao Wu and her son out of the palace, went to Mingsheng Temple in the outskirts of the country, burned incense and worshipped Buddha devoutly, and gave up hundreds of taels of silver, and then asked for a consecrated longevity lock.
This lock is made of jade. The front is engraved with the pattern of "Pisces swimming under the lotus", and the back is engraved with "Longevity and longevity." Get up, ding ding dong.
Hua Xiaochan put the longevity lock on her son carefully, which made her feel a little relieved.
The longevity lock can lock the life of a child, ward off evil and avoid disasters, and grow up safely, so even if I don't know if I can avoid the monster in the palace and the dark tide in the sect of the dynasty, but It is also a psychological comfort.
...
...
The monarch of the state of Qi reported "the disappearance of the elder Jifeng" to the back of the sect.
The sect did not react violently.
As for why there is no response, Qi Xiu is not clear.
According to the **** who sent the letter, when he was waiting outside the sect gate, he faintly noticed that the Qingfeng five sects seemed to be busy with something, as if it was the trial of the alternative suzerain caused by the change of the old and new suzerain...
And the new killing robbery has arrived, and the sect seems to be preparing.
And the disappearance of an elder in the realm of supernatural powers has already involved a lot of aspects. The Qingfeng five sects are temporarily unable to take care of this. They only sent some disciples to investigate the capital of Qi and surrounding areas through trials. , and did not intervene recklessly to avoid unnecessary losses at this critical moment.
Qi Xiu doesn't know what the new killing robbery is, he only knows that new turmoil may be coming.
He is the Son of Heaven, and he knows more, while ordinary people don't even know about the killings that take place every five hundred years.
Without the suppression of the sect, Qi Xiu began to divert her energy towards Jiangshan Sheji.
He began to carefully interrogate political affairs, review memorials, and even conduct private interviews...
For a while, the killing robbery didn't seem to come.
However, the state of Qi began to gradually regain its prosperity and vitality, and it was considered to be developing rapidly among neighboring countries.
The exchanges between merchants and merchants have also gradually increased, and even the hawkers on the streets have gained more strength.
And since the disappearance of the national teacher and the elders of the sect, the palace has been very stable, and similar disappearance incidents have not happened again, but Qi Xiu also has fear in her heart and dare not do anything absurd.
In the dead of night, the monarch shuddered whenever he thought about it. He could only credit the monster hidden in the shadows because he was diligent in government affairs, so he didn't appear again.
Of course, this is all self-comfort.
Because of that monster...
Ignore him at all.
The monster is already five years old, and his shoes have changed from a size of seventeen to a size of twenty-seven. He is studying in the study.
The teacher in class is Taifu.
In addition to him, there are many princes and princesses in the study, adding up to 46 people, a considerable number...
This grand master is also a bit of a strong person, so the seats are not arranged according to the degree of favor, but according to the height.
The short one sits in the front and the tall one sits in the back.
Xia Ji sat in the middle, against the wall.
At this time, Tai Fu was teaching them how to read.
He listens "very seriously" because the earlier he learns to read, the more he can use his abilities.
As a result, he became the most serious student of all the princes and princesses.
Usually after other children run away from get out of class, he stays in the study room to concentrate on reading and practicing calligraphy.
So many giggling "idiots", "nerds", "only idiots can't learn in get out of class and continue to learn after class" and so on.
Slowly...
The voice has been upgraded again.
"Our seventeenth brother really lives up to the name."
"It's not bad, it's stupid, it's really good, it's wonderful, haha."
"Don't bully the foolish brother all the time. It's not too late for the foolish bird to fly first."
"Hey, Sister Jiu, you really know how to use it."
"Of course."
"If the seventeenth brother is half as smart as the ninth sister, there is no need for such painstaking study."
After the children of the royal family left school, in the garden in the distance, far through the window, they could see the prince who was reading carefully in the study room.
They escaped and went to the study, and the seventeen princes seemed to be stuck inside.
"What a freak."
"It's really weird..."
"And..." a tall, seemingly precocious prince said, "Actually, in this world, only entering a sect and seeking the way of longevity is the real way out, and it is useless to study by death. !”
"Ah~~ Zongmen, fourth brother, please say a few more words."
"Yes, how can I enter the sect."
The princes and princesses ran away again.
Xia Ji glanced.
In a trance, he seemed to see the appearance of several princes and princesses running in the Great Shang Palace 1,500 years ago...
The twists and turns of right and wrong, and the grudges, all flowed away with time.
He smiled, stared, silent, bowed his head, and turned to the next page of the paper.
The snow in the deep winter is shallow and deep, and deep and shallow.
Spring is gone, autumn is here, and it's winter again in an instant, and Xia Ji is already six years old.
The study in the cold winter has no charcoal stove, and there are no earth dragons. The reason why the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, the master still understands, so he stubbornly prevents the royal family from turning the study into a greenhouse.
At this time, it is time to leave school again.
The maids all came to pick up their little masters and left.
But except for one prince.
The footprints outside the door are covered in snow again.
Black on white, black on white.
The candle in the study room is still alive, jumping in the snow in the deep winter.
The prince seems to have read the book and saw that he has forgotten himself and time.
The grand master looked at the only child in the empty study with a relieved smile. He walked over and added some oil to the Everbright Lamp.
The oil lamp made a slight crackling sound, which made Xia Ji raise his head and look at the old man.
The grand master asked in a warm voice, "What is there to understand about the seventeenth prince?"
Xia Ji thought about it for a while, and then asked a question "just enough to show that he was looking carefully, but not so much that the old lady couldn't answer it."
With admiration in his eyes, Tai Fu sat across from him and patiently answered him.
One old and one young, one question and one answer.
It didn't take long for the Q&A to turn into a discussion.
The two of them were actually engaged in their discussions...
In the blink of an eye, there were two more people outside the door.
Xiao Wu stood outside the door with Concubine Chan, silently watching the study.
But the old and the young were so engaged in their discussions that no one noticed them.
Concubine Chan glanced at the study that had been empty for a long time, then glanced at her son, and suddenly rubbed her eyes.
Xiao Wudao: "What's wrong?"
"Nothing..."
"You cried."
"I...I...I'm just happy to see Xiaoyu working so hard." Concubine Chan's eyes were red, but she tried her best to squeeze out a smile.
"Oh."
Xiao Wu responded, but she didn't know that Hua Xiaochan cried not because she was happy, but because she was afraid that her son would work so hard, but he would not get the corresponding reward.
Other concubines who are related are trying their best to connect their children with the sect, so that they can enter the sect when they have the opportunity in the future.
But what about her?
She has no such relationship.
Although the Hua family is not weak, she is only a symbolic marriage tool.
The Hua family will invest, but it will never be her or her son.
And if the son cannot enter the sect, he will inevitably be involved in the turmoil of seizing the successor.
The so-called robbing of the heirs means a life of nine deaths...
If you stay out of it, you will be implicated to death.
That's why Hua Xiaochan cried.
I'm sorry for your mother...
Mom is useless, I can't give you the best...
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, who doesn't want their children to become dragons and phoenixes?
The two people who were discussing in the study finally raised their heads a little. Tai Fu was a little confused and a little stunned. The thoughtful color in his eyes has not disappeared. He just thinks that the child in front of him has too much spiritual energy, right?
It's just genius, no, maybe genius isn't right, because he's never seen a child with such a unique mind.
Although those ideas are still budding, how did he come up with them?
I feel like I have been taught...
He hadn't said anything yet, but the seventeenth prince in front of him had already stood up and said respectfully, "The concubine is here, and Yu will leave first today."
The master smiled and said, "Good boy, let's go."
"Hmm."
Xia Ji went out, and the longevity lock made a tinkling sound.
The Taifu suddenly shouted: "The seventeenth prince."
Xia Ji tilted his head slightly.
The master said: "I am proud to have you as a student."
Xia Ji smiled and said, "Yu is the same."
The grand master smiled back. He was so satisfied with this student.
He watched the seventeen princes go away.
Concubine Chan took the boy's hand, held up the oil-paper umbrella with golden plum blossoms, and walked into the road where the snow covered the sky and disappeared, gradually disappearing.
...
...
In the days that followed, Xia Ji, because of the Grand Master, logically got the opportunity to enter the Daqi Academy in advance.
The Great Qi Xue Pavilion is a special force in the state of Qi. It has one hundred and eight small pavilions, seventy-two academies, and thirty-six academies.
This can be said to be a hub for the state to control the rivers and lakes.
The teachers of Daqi Xuege include well-known bachelors, well-known and learned bigwigs from all over the world, and well-known warriors from various sects.
As long as the famous Jianghu sects are not small, they can hang the name of the sect on the small pavilion here, and then arrange teachers to teach.
The students taught by these teachers are naturally special.
They are both affiliated with the original sect ~IndoMTL.com~ and affiliated with the imperial court.
There are more students with dual identities, which makes the relationship between the court and the rivers and lakes more and more smooth.
The hub of Daqi Xuege plays such a role, thus closely linking the Qi royal family and the rivers and lakes.
Of course, this is also the default of the sect, so that the integration of the top and bottom of the Qi state can be formed, which is convenient for the rule of the court, and it is convenient for their rule.
The most famous thing about Daqi Xuege is that it has the richest collection of books in Qi.
Xia Ji knows this, and he wants to come here to read.
The master discussed with him for a few days, and then gambled on three more topics.
Xia Ji won, so the Taifu guaranteed him to leave the palace and get the chance to enter the Daqi Xuege to read books.
Xia Ji's reading, one is to use his abilities to obtain more nine-layer exercises, and the other is to open his eyes to see this new world clearly.
