Chapter 231 The Emperor, Dragon Veins
“Don’t worry, we are all old friends, and I am not here to disturb your good deeds.”
“It’s just that this person happened to die in an accident. , I helped her complete the unfinished business during her lifetime.”
Listening to Qin Shezhi’s words, Xu Ke didn’t believe it at all.
Coming here at such a critical time, who dares to say that she doesn’t have other plans?
But now that Xu Ke has noticed her existence, no matter what plan she has, it is absolutely impossible to hide it from Xu Ke.
At the same time, after finishing the government affairs on the table, Emperor Xiyang Jiang Guang collapsed on his chair from exhaustion.
My whole body was sore and my back was sore, my limbs were sore and swollen as if they were out of joint, and I couldn't exert any strength at all.
Because Jiang Guang showed abundant vitality, a sharp brain, a decisive and ruthless attitude, and even an unfathomable character and temperament.
Most people have forgotten that Jiang Guang was already an old man in his fifties at this time.
In this era, despite all the layers of pollution and distortion, living to this age is considered a long life.
So many people don't know that Jiang Guang was the most unpopular among the princes when he was young.
Because the late emperor liked riding, shooting and hunting the most, he also believed that in troubled times, the king who ascended the throne must be strong and physically fit.
Only in order to have the energy to deal with complex government affairs, and to mount a horse to fight and dismount to govern the country.
The most important thing is that only by being healthy can you live longer.
Once it collapsed midway, it would be a catastrophic event for the entire court.
Therefore, Jiang Guang, who was almost always talking about medicine at that time, became the most inconspicuous among the princes.
Every time he went hunting, he was unable to attend due to illness, and he was as weak as a woman in archery and horse riding.
Every time the late emperor saw Jiang Guang's useless appearance, he felt an unknown fire rising in his heart and felt disgusted.
Only Jiang Guang's mother-in-law took care of her only son and cared for him.
As a result, the mother and son depended on each other, and were both despised and ostracized by everyone in the palace.
Until he was about to reach adulthood, Jiang Guang's illness became more and more serious, and he was about to die.
Jiang Guang encountered an adventure that changed his life...
Jiang Guang, immersed in memories, suddenly noticed a eunuch walking into the palace.
Jiang Guang, who rarely showed weakness, hurriedly put away his weak appearance and showed off his awe-inspiring imperial posture that he did not dare to offend.
"Why did your Majesty call this servant here?"
That eunuch is someone whom Jiang Guang has trusted most in recent years.
He is loyal and manages his team of spies on his behalf, searching for private information among the ministers.
"Chengzhong, how many years have you been with me? How have I treated you over the years?"
Su Chengzhong replied respectfully:
"This slave was promoted by His Majesty ten years ago, and was entrusted with important responsibilities from a humble position... Your Majesty is truly extremely kind to this slave."
Su Chengzhong's eyes even turned slightly red as he said this. , shed a few tears.
"In this case, I will take you to a place and entrust you with an important task."
"Then I will call the guards to come with you..."
"No need, just you and me, my master, my servant, my king and my minister."
Su Chengzhong naturally followed Jiang Guang respectfully and went straight to the harem.
Seeing that there are fewer and fewer people around me, and the places I go to are becoming more and more remote, I can't help but feel uneasy.
Although he is Jiang Guang's most trusted confidant, he has never been to this remote place.
Could it be that His Majesty appreciates his recent loyalty and is therefore prepared to hand over more secrets to him? At this time, Jiang Guang had used all his willpower to keep himself from showing fatigue. He would never show weakness in front of anyone.
No matter whether the other party is his confidant or his beloved concubine, his secret cannot be known to anyone.
The day before, he was still the king of a country who was so majestic and majestic that his ministers trembled in fear. A single word could decide life or death.
At this time, he was so weak that he was not even as good as a mortal. An ordinary man could make him bleed and die on the spot in five steps.
This long-lost feeling of weakness made him particularly disgusted, and he felt the alarm bell ringing in his heart.
In such a weak state, it is impossible for him to secure his throne.
Jiang Guang, who is obsessed with power and the throne, must stabilize his position no matter what.
At this time, the two of them had arrived outside a seemingly ordinary run-down courtyard.
There were two seemingly ordinary guards standing at the entrance of the courtyard.
But with Su Chengzhong's eyesight, he could still keenly notice that these two people seemed to have lost their minds.
It is just a puppet that obeys orders and will simply kill all invading enemies without any room for explanation or accommodation.
The cost of cultivating soldiers who have been refined into puppets is too high, and they cannot be used on the battlefield to recoup their costs.
Also because he has only one brain, he is unable to carry out complex thinking and is not suitable as a guard.
Only a very few extremely important key points will need this kind of puppet guard who has no consciousness and will never betray.
“Let’s go.”
Jiang Guang took out the Emperor’s Jade Seal from his arms, as if some invisible restrictions around him had been lifted, and the two of them were able to enter the small room that had no trace of a living person. hospital.
As soon as he entered it, Su Chengzhong discovered a very conspicuous hole in the courtyard.
This hole is about one foot wide and bottomless, with no light source coming out.
No matter how Su Chengzhong looked at it, he could not determine what was under the cave.
Before arriving at the cave, Jiang Guang did not look inside the cave, but just stared at Su Chengzhong.
“You are my most loyal confidant, you are loyal and good, and you are decisive and shrewd in doing things. If there are loyal and capable ministers like you in the court, why should I worry that the world will fall.”
Su Chengzhong was even more flattered when he heard Jiang Guang's kind words, and hurriedly knelt down and replied:
"I don't dare. I am just a eunuch, and I am what I am today because of His Majesty's appreciation..."
< br>Jiang Guang interrupted Su Chengzhong and instead stepped forward to help him up:
“The only person I trust most is you, so I can only share my biggest secret with you.”
“The reason why I can become the king of a country and be able to stand as an emperor for decades is mainly because of this hole in the ground.”
Su Chengzhong didn't have the slightest doubt after learning such a major secret.
Because he had been with Jiang Guang for ten years, he knew that his emperor would never joke or lie.
As the emperor, he always sticks to his word and never talks nonsense.
Jiang Guang said slowly:
“This cave is where my Nine Provinces Dragon Vein resides. It gathers the essence of mountains and rivers and is the beloved thing of heaven and earth.”
"With its blessing, you can become the king of eternity and protect the dynasty forever... But it is extremely difficult to get its recognition. Throughout the ages, only Taizu and I have been recognized by Dragon Vein."
" Dragon Veins can do anything, including eradicating evil spirits in the world and restoring the prosperity of our Da Qi Dynasty."
Hearing this, Su Chengzhong had no doubt in his eyes and asked his question at the right time:
"Your Majesty, why don't you pray to Dragon Vein to restore peace to the world?"
