"Your Majesty, I think the Dugu family might still be testing whether the ancestor is still alive."
The old eunuch beside him said.
The emperor turned his head to look at Otomo, opened his mouth but said nothing more.
The two were silent for a while.
"The Left Prime Minister deserves to die. Defeat them one by one. How can such a thing be discussed in the court? I wonder how many dogs kept by the aristocratic families are in the court. If we don't stop them, I'm afraid they will even propose all the means we use to deal with the aristocratic families. What I lack now is time!"
"Your Majesty. If the ancestor were still alive, I think if the ancestor showed up, these things wouldn't be a problem."
"Yes! I will go and talk to the ancestor myself. Big friend, you can go down! I will go for a walk alone."
After the old eunuch left, a gloomy look flashed in the corner of the emperor's eyes.
"This old fellow keeps talking about our ancestors, and he wants to pry into our royal secrets? It seems that this great companion has ulterior motives as well."
The emperor rubbed his head.
Then, despair flashed in his eyes.
I used to think that if I sat on the throne of emperor, I could just raise my arms and shout, and thousands of masters would follow me.
He is still too young.
Warriors need resources to practice.
Only aristocratic families with abundant resources will have inexhaustible resources for warriors.
In addition, the secret manuals of cultivation are monopolized.
Warriors became thugs kept by aristocratic families.
Who still recognizes him?
The Dugu family also had ambitions in supporting him to become emperor.
Or he could allow the Dugu family to manipulate him, and end up fighting with other families to the point of mutual destruction, and then the Dugu family would emerge victorious and seize the world.
Or they would fight against the Dugu family and end up being taken advantage of by other clans.
The terrible thing is that he has no ability to choose now.
Whether he agreed or not, the court was already controlled by the Dugu family.
Even the big companions around him have changed their minds.
This shows how critical the situation is.
"It would be great if the ancestor were still alive."
Is the ancestor still there?
The emperor closed his eyes and a tear fell from the corner of his eye.
From the day he became a prince, he knew that they had an ancestor with great magical powers.
Now more than a hundred years have passed.
I'm afraid the ancestor has turned into ashes long ago.
What outsiders are afraid of now are the masters of the Imperial Palace.
With Otomo's appearance today, the palace masters might be falling apart.
"If it weren't for the appearance of a young eunuch master in gray clothes in the palace that year, I would have been driven off the throne long ago!"
The emperor muttered to himself.
That’s right!
Where is that little eunuch?
well!
I'm afraid that little eunuch can't reverse the situation that is about to fall into chaos in the world.
"I deserve it!"
The emperor sighed to the sky, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably.
Kill your brothers to gain power.
Now I am alone.
A sense of sadness rose from the bottom of my heart.
Suddenly, the emperor missed his family.
"Where's Ruirui? Where is she?"
In the palace, the only one who could bring him joy was probably his own daughter.
Outside Jingning Palace.
Listening to the disjointed sounds of musical instruments and the happy laughter of children.
A slight smile appeared on the emperor's face.
Then, he stepped into the palace.
At the beginning, Jingning Palace was peaceful for a while.
As the bamboo flute sounded, the palace gradually became lively and full of laughter.
In the following days, the emperor would often accompany the little princess to Jingning Palace to study music.
Half a year later, the plaque in front of Jingning Palace was changed to Shouning Palace.
Although the name has changed, the cold palace is still the cold palace.
Shouning Palace!
The name suggests that this is where the Empress Dowager lived.
Since she was already a concubine dowager, she would naturally not be taken seriously in the palace.
What's more, the situation outside is changing dramatically.
The people in the palace were also uneasy.
In the early spring of this year, Li Mu's bottleneck loosened a little.
Before the joy had faded, the emperor's uncle, Prince Ning, who was guarding the border, rebelled.
The affairs of the aristocratic families have not been settled yet, and the vassal kings have rebelled first.
Not to mention Li Mu was confused.
The entire Daxia court was stunned.
What kind of a trick is this?
Inside the Golden Palace.
The emperor laughed out loud.
"Haha, good rebellion. The slogan of purging the imperial court is also well-raised. The aristocratic families should be put under pressure."
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
"What is there to congratulate? The emperor's uncle is rebelling, but ostensibly he's rebelling against me. If we can force that old villain Dugu Xin to commit suicide, that would be even better."
The next day in the court, the parties were arguing with each other.
Many representatives of various clans stationed in Beijing demanded that the emperor execute Dugu Xin to appease Prince Ning's anger.
Halfway through the court meeting, Dugu Xin walked out with a wave of his sleeves.
Just as the emperor was happily holding his daughter Ruirui and strolling in the imperial garden.
A large number of troops suddenly appeared outside Kyoto.
Then a shocking news spread to all directions.
"The Dugu family is rebelling!"
boom!
Outside Kyoto, an army composed of countless warriors rushed towards the city walls.
It was pitch black, stretching as far as the eye could see.
On the city wall, the general guarding Kyoto had a solemn expression on his face.
"We can't hold it anymore. It's only a matter of time before we're attacked. Inform His Majesty. I'll try to buy two days. Tell His Majesty to find a solution quickly."
"yes!"
The Golden Palace was silent.
"How dare he, Dugu Xin? Where did he get an army of 500,000?"
The emperor walked around the hall in a frenzy.
I never thought that the Dugu family actually had such an army.
"Your Majesty, we should now find a way to stop the Dugu family's 500,000-strong army."
The Left Prime Minister spoke.
"How can we stop it? A half-million-strong army!"
Inside the hall, a minister said in horror.
