Chapter 133 Hand over the right to send troops

Emperor Shu struggled to squeeze a few words out of his throat, but no one could understand the dying emperor's last words.

Looking at Emperor Shu, who had cloudy eyes and swallowed his last breath, Ye Liufeng looked up slightly at a point in the void and breathed a long sigh of relief. Then, he slowly walked to the outer hall, and the civil and military officials knelt on the ground. Only a child about ten years old, dressed in a black yellow embroidered with nine python patterns, opened his big eyes and looked at Ye Liufeng in a daze.

"Your Majesty, you will be destroyed."

As soon as these words came out, the two palacemen standing at the door of the outer hall immediately held the dust and left in a hurry, shouting with grief: "The emperor died, the emperor died."

For a moment, grief and howls resounded throughout the palace.

"Chong Wang, why don't you kneel down?" Ye Liufeng half squinted and looked at his half-brother. Ye Chong, who was canonized as King Chong at the age of eight.

Ye Chong's face was full of anger, without any sadness and anger, and left in the surprised eyes of the civil and military officials. Just as soon as he arrived at the door, Ye Chong suddenly turned around and smiled against the light: "In the future, you have to kneel every day. Brother, why are you in a hurry at this moment?"

The sky is gloomy with light rain.

Ye Liufeng sat on the throne in a gorgeous suit with a unicorn pattern. According to the etiquette system of the State of Shu, the new emperor could only wear a unicorn pattern, not an auspicious dragon pattern within three months after his death.

A bright black yellow reflected into Ye Liufeng's eyes, and Ye Chong walked firmly into the hall and saluted: "My brother, see the emperor."

"I don't need to be courteous and flat."

Ye Chong gently brushed his clothes and got up and said, "I have something to do. The details are approved by the emperor."

"What's the matter, but it's okay to say it."

"I am young and really unable to control millions of military power. I am willing to hand over 1.2 million military power to the emperor. Please allow me."

As soon as these words came out, the civil and military officials looked at Ye Chong, who was only ten years old. Who would have thought that such a ten-year-old child had 1.2 million military power, two million in the whole Shu country, and one of them had more than half.

Ye Liufeng was slightly surprised: "Oh? This 1.2 million military power was entrusted to you by your father on your eight-year-old birthday. Are you really willing to do it?

"Whether I am willing to do it or not, this military power must be returned, otherwise how can I protect myself?"

"Then how do you know that you can protect yourself by handing over the military power?" Ye Liufeng's tone was low and he did not distinguish between joy and anger.

"Dare to ask the emperor, how can I let go of my brother?"

"You and I are brothers and sisters. Why did you say this?" Ye Liu moved his body and changed his relatively idle posture. "You are young and not feeling well. How about recuperating in the palace for a long time in the future?"

"My brother obeyed."

Ye Chong leaned to show his gratitude.

Under house arrest, all court ministers knew in their hearts that the newly succeeded emperor was ready to put King Chong, who was only ten years old, under house arrest. After all, he is only a ten-year-old child, and it is not easy to come up with such a self-preservation method. If in another three or five years, with 1.2 million military power in his hands, it will not be difficult to rebel. Unfortunately, in the hour, Chen is right, and the wrong time is wrong.

While everyone felt sorry for Ye Chong, there was an inexplicable appreciation in the eyes of an official standing at the end of the hall. He did not look at Ye Chong with pity, but stared at the dark yellow figure with an almost fanatical admiration.

Hand over the military power and be willing to be put under house arrest in the palace. It's a good trick to kill people with a knife.

At such a young age, he is so scheming that it has to be impressive.

Xu Lin breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew his eyes. The figure that fell in the pool of blood more than ten years ago came to his mind. Prince Ye doesn't know what's going on now. Compared with Ye Liufeng, he hoped that Ye Chong could inherit the throne, because although Ye Chong was arrogant, he was at least kind-hearted, but Ye Liufeng was different. He was modest and restrained, but there was a murderous intention. Even if the other party was his brother and brother, he could kill him without hesitation.

How can such a monarch not be afraid and worried?

Although Emperor Shu had seven sons, most of them died before a full month. The reason why the seventh son Ye Chong survived was that Emperor Shu would not announce his existence to the whole world until Ye Chong was eight years old, and was canonized as King Chong, giving 1.2 million military power to protect his safety. But since then, Emperor Shu's health has become worse and worse, and the imperial doctors are also helpless.

Alas - Xu Lin sighed unconsciously.

"Xu Lin, why did you sigh in the hall?"

It turned out that when Xu Lin lowered his head and thought about it, he didn't know that Emperor Shu had already walked down the dragon chair and walked slowly in the hall. Coincidentally, when Emperor Shu came to Xu Lin, it was the time for him to sigh.

"Weichen is frightened." Xu Lin immediately knelt on the ground with a frightened face.

Emperor Shu half squatted down and looked down at him: "Xu Lin, you have no sense of panic, so why are you so afraid? Why is it better to be arrogant like King Chong?

"Weichen dare not, Weichen is afraid."

"Oh? Don't dare, panic, why did you sigh just now?

"Weichen... Weichen has been in poor health recently, so... that's why he lost his temper for a moment and unconsciously sighed and asked the emperor to reduce his crime."

"There is no need to commit a crime. I will allow you to return to your hometown. What do you think?"

"Thank you for the emperor's grace."

For a long time, Emperor Shu was silent, and the civil and military officials did not dare to speak, allowing the atmosphere to remain silent. Until Ye Chong knelt on the ground again: "The emperor begged the emperor to leave Lord Xu in the palace."

"Why?"

"Your Majesty, I heard that Lord Xu played a good hand, and it is rare to meet an enemy in the world. I am bored in the palace for a long time, so I beg the emperor to let Lord Xu accompany me."

"Okay, since it's your request, how can I not agree?" Emperor Shu smiled and said, "So, Lord Xu, are you willing?"

"Thank you for the emperor's grace."

"Okay, okay." Emperor Shu got up, slowly stepped on the golden steps, and sat back on the dragon chair.

Ye Liufeng looked at the civil and military officials of the dynasty, and the corners of his mouth rose gently. But there was a strange murderous spirit in his eyes, and his slender pale fingers supported his forehead, as if he would fall asleep at any time.

The long night is silent, and the night is clear and windy.

Ye Chong sat on the railing like a child, his legs kept shaking, and said with a smile, "Lord Xu, do you regret it?"

Xu Lin, who stood aside, said respectfully, "Regret, if I regret it, how can I be so careless and sigh on the hall? However, how on earth did you expect that the emperor would definitely leave me in the palace?

"Ha ha, do you really think my emperor's brother is an idiot?" Ye Chong turned his head and said, "Lord Xu, although you don't have the power to tie chickens, you have the ability to settle the country. How can you let your royal brother be willing to let you go? If it hadn't been for the withering of the talent of Shu, I guess you would have been killed by the knife now.

"Well, it's better to be a dead soul under a knife than to be sandwiched between you two brothers."

"Oh? So, Lord Xu, are you still unwilling to teach Chong'er?" Although Ye Chong was only ten years old, he secretly visited Xu Lin many times before that and asked Professor Xu Lin to take the way of the world, but he has been rejected by him.

"Ha ha, I'm old, and I'm afraid I won't live for a few years."

"Then Lord Xu, do you think I can achieve imperial hegemony?"

"I can't."

"Why?"

"There are only four people in the world who can achieve hegemony."

"Which four?"

"One, the son of King Chu, Chu Xuan. Second, the prince of Xia, Xia Wuchen. Third, the former General of Cangguo Feiyu, Jiang Mozhu. Fourth, Xia Guoqing and Princess.

"Chu Xuan is a man with excellent martial arts skills, first-class wisdom, and good at leading the army to fight, which is reasonable. Jiang Mozhu was originally a general who used troops like a god, and it is said that he has the talent of Kirin. If he calls on the old departments of Cang Kingdom, he will certainly be able to achieve a force. Xia Wuchen is the prince of the State of Xia. If he can ascend the throne in the future, he will certainly make some achievements by making good use of talents. But Lord Xu, why do you count Princess Qinghe as one of them? What's more, how can a woman achieve hegemony?

"Why can't women achieve hegemony?" Xu Lin asked rhetorical.

"This... Throughout the ages, there has never been a woman who has achieved hegemony."
