"The Emperor, by the grace of Heaven and the Mandate of Heaven, summons you: Bei Lingyao, the innate martial arts master, has rendered meritorious service in rescuing the Emperor. He is hereby appointed the Protector of the Nation and granted residence in the Xingchen Pavilion. This is my decree!"
As soon as this decree came out, there was an uproar in the court and the harem!
The concubines in the harem who had seen Bei Lingyao found it extremely absurd.
Not to mention the Empress Dowager, she was furious.
The eunuch with her master came to kill her.
As soon as he saw Bei Lingyao, the Grandmaster Eunuch immediately took action.
Bei Lingyao and the Grand Master Eunuch immediately started fighting outside the Yangxin Palace.
All the court officials came over to watch.
One is a congenital, the other is a master, everyone thinks the master eunuch will win.
Bei Lingyao also felt that this master eunuch's skills were more profound than Emperor Daoyuan's.
But this is normal, this old eunuch looks to be in his sixties.
Emperor Daoyuan was only twenty-three years old.
A twenty-three-year-old grandmaster, a young martial arts genius.
The future is promising.
The Grand Master Eunuch and the Duke of Tang were both old, so they wanted to implicate Emperor Daoyuan, but they did not dare to really make enemies with him.
If a real fight breaks out, Emperor Daoyuan has a master, Taoist Wuyang.
Moreover, Taoist Wuyang is older. If a fight breaks out and both sides suffer losses, no one would want to see it, and it would also give others an opportunity to take advantage.
The gain does not outweigh the loss.
The Empress Dowager did not want to be enemies with her grandson. She only hoped that her grandson would listen to her. When she was old, the imperial power would still be handed over to her grandson.
She had good ideas, but she didn't care whether Emperor Yuan was happy about it or not.
However, the Empress Dowager was also very wary of her grandson, Emperor Daoyuan, otherwise she would not dare to give up power.
"I will not acknowledge this Imperial Master."
"She doesn't need the Empress Dowager's recognition. She was personally appointed as the Imperial Preceptor by me. Whether you recognize her or not, she is still the Imperial Preceptor."
"Emperor, I am your biological grandmother, the Regent Empress Dowager."
The Empress Dowager gripped the dragon-headed cane tightly and issued a stern warning.
"There's no need for Grandmother to emphasize this repeatedly. If possible, I don't want to be your grandson."
Emperor Daoyuan admired the Empress Dowager, but he also hated her.
Having such a strong and controlling imperial grandmother, Empress Taizu, is a disaster for her children and grandchildren.
Otherwise, Emperor Daoyuan would not be the only male left in Taizu's lineage.
Of course, Emperor Daoyuan also had a group of illegitimate aunts and sisters.
But the princesses had no right of inheritance, and the Empress Dowager could not support these illegitimate princesses.
"No matter how unwilling you are, you still carry the blood of Taizu and me."
The Empress Dowager sighed and looked at her grandson earnestly, "You are my only legitimate grandson. I will never harm you. After a hundred years, the kingdom of Langya will be handed over to you. You don't have to trust me."
"Oh, a hundred years from now, why would the Imperial Grandmother need me to be the Emperor? Wouldn't it be better if you could be the Empress? If that's your wish, I will withdraw and will not stop you."
Emperor Daoyuan smiled sarcastically.
The Empress Dowager is now in her sixties. With her innate cultivation, she can live to at least eighty. If she doesn't commit suicide, she can live to a hundred.
A master can live for at least 100 years, and if he doesn't commit suicide, he can live for 120 years.
A grandmaster can live to at least 120 years old, and if he doesn’t commit suicide, he can live to 150 years old.
In other words, the Empress Dowager lived to be one hundred years old.
He would have to wait for more than 30 years before he could take power, and he would have to be a puppet emperor for more than 30 years.
He is curious!
Not to mention, he didn't want to be the emperor.
If the Empress Dowager breaks through to the Grandmaster level, it will be even less likely that she will give up power.
This puppet emperor will only last indefinitely.
"This is just an excuse. I followed Taizu to conquer the world, and I have many hidden injuries. I don't want to curse myself. Over the years, my cultivation has stopped at the level of the previous emperor and I have never been able to break through. As for the empress... I can't start this."
The Empress Dowager was stunned. She had thought about it, but the court officials were unwilling.
The generals and soldiers who fought with Taizu to conquer the world would not agree.
By that time, General Lei Ting will definitely rebel.
Once Langya State is in turmoil and other surrounding countries attack it, Langya State will be finished.
Due to numerous concerns, the Empress Dowager gave up the idea of becoming the empress.
If she could break through to the Grandmaster level, she wouldn't have so many concerns.
She used to just want an obedient puppet emperor so she could always be the regent.
However, he did not expect that his intentional indulgence would lead to his descendants killing each other.
Now the Empress Dowager only hopes that Emperor Daoyuan can have children and continue the bloodline of Emperor Taizu and her.
The Empress Dowager frowned as she watched the battle. Even if it was just a Xiantian, she could defeat him with just one move. Why did it take Master Li so long?
Emperor Daoyuan said nothing more. He would not always be under the control of the Empress Dowager.
"Master Li, take her down as soon as possible."
The Empress Dowager was getting impatient waiting.
Grandmaster Li's heart sank to the bottom.
Grandmaster Li did not take seriously a person with a natural talent for martial arts.
But I didn't expect that the more I fought, the harder it became, and the more helpless I became.
"You actually learned my skills."
Grandmaster Li was furious. He had never expected Bei Lingyao to use him as a sparring partner and even secretly learn his martial arts techniques.
Bang! Bei Lingyao slapped Grandmaster Li in the chest.
puff!
Grandmaster Li groaned and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Thank you, Grandmaster Li, for your help. I'm honored."
Bei Lingyao bowed.
Grandmaster Li retreated hastily, not daring to fight with Bei Lingyao anymore.
Bei Lingyao was not willing to let him leave, so she pressed an acupoint in the air and immobilized Master Li.
Grandmaster Li looked horrified.
The Empress Dowager's face was as dark as ink, and she stared at Bei Lingyao intently, "Let Grandmaster Li go. What is your purpose in entering the palace?"
"It was the Empress Dowager who invited me into the palace. I never expected that I would meet the Emperor and be granted the title of Imperial Preceptor by the Emperor. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor for their appreciation."
Bei Lingyao's words almost angered the Empress Dowager to death.
She wanted to say that she wouldn't recognize it.
But he saw that Master Li was no match for Bei Lingyao and was even acupunctured from a distance.
The Empress Dowager felt a sinking feeling in her heart, thinking to herself that this was not good. The fact that Emperor Daoyuan had such a strong helper like Bei Lingyao was very disadvantageous to her.
"Release Grandmaster Li."
"Who am I?" Bei Lingyao looked at the Empress Dowager with a smile.
"National Master"
The Empress Dowager gritted her teeth and reluctantly acknowledged Bei Lingyao's identity.
"Do you still want to kill me? I'd be happy to do so."
"No one will attack the Imperial Master."
"That's good. I've always been belligerent and I love sparring with others. Everyone is welcome to challenge me. But if you're missing limbs, don't blame me."
Bei Lingyao said this, then looked at the Grand Empress Dowager and asked, "Noble Concubine Tang committed adultery and conceived an illegitimate child. This is not your fault. I beg the Grand Empress Dowager to investigate."
The Empress Dowager held the dragon-headed cane tightly, wishing she could hit Bei Lingyao with it.
But she was just thinking about it. Even Master Li couldn't beat Bei Lingyao, and she knew her own limitations.
"Noble Concubine Tang was demoted to a commoner and sentenced to death."
"The Empress Dowager sacrificed her own family for the sake of justice. She is selfless and of high moral character."
Bei Lingyao pointed her finger, and Grandmaster Li was freed and left in a hurry with the Empress Dowager.
