Helian Su personally put the Yu crown on Helian Yu, adjusted the bright yellow dragon robe that fitted him well, and took a few steps back with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
"My little Yu'er has grown up. This dress looks like me! It fits me well! Like an emperor!"
Chang Hai came in and bowed his head to report: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine wants to see you."
"Go ahead."
Helian Yu looked at himself in the mirror again and again, and steadied the Yu Guan on his head: "Father, if the Imperial Concubine comes here and sees me wearing a dragon robe, she will probably be frightened."
"She was well prepared, otherwise she wouldn't have come today." Helian Su pulled Helian Yu to sit on the throne in the hall, and took out an imperial decree to pass on the throne. "I have prepared troops outside the palace. No matter who comes to force the palace today, they will not interrupt the issuance of this imperial decree."
Helian Yu held the imperial edict, raised his lips and looked at Helian Su: "Thank you, father."
The imperial concubine came in with her fingers pinched, and because she was too nervous, she subconsciously touched her armor.
"Zhaoyang meets the Imperial Concubine." Helian Yu stood up.
The Imperial Concubine's eyes froze, and she stood there in a daze for about two breaths. She came to her senses, forced a wry smile and walked forward: "Zhaoyang looks good in this dress."
"My vision is not wrong." Helian Su personally poured a cup of tea and put it in the hands of the imperial concubine.
The warm touch made the Imperial Concubine feel a little overwhelmed. She looked up at her Majesty: "Your Majesty..."
"Royal Concubine, please follow me to the palace to watch a show later."
The Imperial Concubine's fingers became colder and colder, as if everything was seen through: "Your Majesty... obeys your order."
Inside the Golden Palace, important ministers stood on both sides of the hall, on guard against each other, as if they were afraid that the other party would suddenly stab them.
"The Emperor has arrived——"
"The Imperial Concubine has arrived—"
"Princess Zhaoyang has arrived——"
The ministers knelt and shouted three times: "Long live the emperor--"
Helian Su took Helian Yu's hand and helped her sit on the dragon throne, which made the Imperial Concubine clench her fists and grit her teeth.
"My dear ministers, please kneel first." Helian Su did not wear the bright yellow court robe, but a dark black five-clawed golden dragon robe. "Chang Hai, announce the decree."
"yes."
"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims: Princess Zhaoyang—"
"Father." The prince looked up and saw Helian Yu sitting on the dragon throne in a fitted dragon robe. He felt as if he was in an ice cellar. There was cold self-mockery and jealousy in his eyes. "Father, do you still remember that I was the prince you personally appointed?"
Helian Su naturally felt sorry for his son. As much as he loved him in the past, he was now as cruel to him.
If Daxia remains as backward and chaotic as before, the prince will undoubtedly be the best candidate for king. He is benevolent and stable.
But today's Daxia is progressing and expanding. The prince's benevolence and the concepts he holds are no longer applicable to Daxia, and he is no longer fit to be a king.
"Come here, the prince is seriously ill, take him outside the palace to rest."
Helian Su did not answer the prince's question, but this sentence had already given the prince the answer.
The Royal Guards went up to the palace and led the prince out. The ministers on the prince's side looked at each other, with determination in their eyes.
Chang Hai continued to hold the imperial edict and was about to continue reading it when the sound of swords and spears came from outside the hall into the hall, seeming to resound through the sky.
The ministers in the hall began to stand up one by one, and in the end, there were only a few left kneeling on the ground.
Helian Yu lazily supported his forehead and remembered the ministers who were still kneeling on the ground. He would reward some of them after the palace coup was over. As for those disobedient ministers, they would either be replaced or beheaded.
The bloody killing in the palace spread to the capital.
In Shangyang Tower, Han Xingzhi and Qiao Zhe sat in the west tower, lighting tea and brewing wine, with red sleeves adding fragrance.
"The sky in the capital has completely changed."
Qiao Zhe said with a smile: "No matter how it changes, it won't disturb our business."
"Just now Shen Fu passed on the news that the young master ordered people to burn down the Imperial Master's Mansion, and it is now burning. What do you think he wants to do?"
Han Xingzhi held the wine glass with a smile on his face.
Qiao Zhe looked at him and sighed: "Young Master calculated everything, and he calculated everyone, except himself."
Han Xingzhi looked up at the calm sky: "Perhaps he knew it from the beginning? Who can say for sure?" - In the first year of Zhaohui, Princess Zhaoyang succeeded to the throne and killed more than 2,300 court officials, stripped the former crown prince of his title, and imprisoned him in the Palace of Ten Princes together with the King of Chu and the King of Qin. In March of the same year, she issued a general amnesty and opened a three-year special examination for both men and women.
At the end of the first year of Zhaohui, the new emperor issued a general amnesty, and the crown prince was first named King of Qi, and he returned to the palace with the King of Chu and the King of Qin to attend the court.
The Imperial Palace.
In the brightly lit bedroom, clothes were scattered all over the floor.
Human shadows were interweaving and singing softly.
The cold moon was so shy that she hid behind the clouds, afraid to hear any happy words.
"Master, we want a daughter. When she grows up, we will go back. You will accompany me to the world of ten thousand mustard seeds."
Helian Yu kissed the corner of the boy's lips, biting and licking them gently, teasing and seducing, as if a large and fine net was wrapped between the two of them.
"good."
The hoarse voice was like a lush flame, instantly igniting the sweetness in the bedroom.
Gently.
Fine.
brutal.
Reckless.
Eventually, it got out of control.
* "That's all we have to say about Daxia's history today. Class dismissed."
"hiss--"
The hissing sound attracted the students in the entire classroom to look towards the back row.
Liu Qiuyue was confused. She looked down at her disgusting outfit and the pair of shit-yellow slippers on her feet. She looked up and saw her classmates in front of her looking at her in unison.
The professor, who had not yet left the classroom, adjusted his frameless glasses and jokingly asked, "Student Liu was beaten by Ultraman in his dream?"
"Hahaha……"
Liu Qiuyue looked confused, and it took her a while to realize that she was back.
She's back!
"Hey!" Li Yue poked Liu Qiuyue's elbow, a little worried, "What's wrong with you? You fell asleep as soon as the class started today, and slept for two whole hours! Old man Lin was talking about your favorite history of Daxia, and you actually fell asleep. Are you sick? Or did you chat with a strange man in the middle of the night last night?"
Liu Qiyue shook her head slowly, with a hint of obvious sadness between her brows, and then she relaxed and smiled with her eyes curved: "Li Yue, I'm fine."
"I'm glad you're alright. I'm telling you, Old Man Lin was just talking about the Queen of Da Xia, but the get out of class was over. What a pity."
Li Yue propped up her chin, her black eyes sparkling, "She is the first female emperor in history, her political achievements far surpass all the male emperors in history! She didn't have a harem, but she had so many romantic affairs!
It is said that all the young and handsome officials in the court are the empress's concubines! The empress also has a daughter whose father she does not know. The daughter is also the empress and has many romantic affairs! I suspect that the empress has a white moonlight. She is so romantic that she must be collecting men who are similar to the white moonlight! She loves it so much! "
Liu Qiyue: “…”
Outrageous.
There is no white moonlight. Other people’s moonlight is living well in the palace.
When the Imperial Master's residence caught fire, it was rumored that the Imperial Master died in the fire, but those who were slightly close to Helian Yu knew that the Imperial Master was left in the palace with no name or status, but Helian Yu and he had a daughter.
As for the romantic affair...
Indeed, many young officials tried to seduce Helian Yu, and there was even a trend of men wearing makeup and flowers in their hair, but Helian Yu had no eyes for anyone except the imperial teacher.
"By the way, you're about to graduate, do you plan to take the civil service exam or the postgraduate entrance exam?"
Liu Qiyue thought seriously: "I'll take the postgraduate entrance examination. I want to stand higher and restore the history of the Great Xia Dynasty during the Zhaohui period."
She once resented Helian Yu, but time overcame everything. She saw that Helian Yu led Da Xia to become better and better, and the spirit of Da Xia was passed down for ten thousand years. The women also slowly stood up. That was the best and most prosperous era.
She thought that showing the original history she had experienced to future generations might be the most meaningful thing she could do after traveling back in time.
"You have ambition! The history of the empress should be explored by us girls!" Li Yue patted Liu Qiuyue's shoulder, her eyes curved into crescents, "Next, it's time to go grab a meal! If you don't go now, the chicken legs won't be crispy!"
On the school’s tree-lined path, the sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves and falls on the energetic students.
"Wait for me!"
"Great archaeologist, run faster, a great victory is waiting for us ahead."
