"Your Majesty save me, Your Majesty save me!"

"Rebel!!! I am the emperor! I will kill you! I will kill you!!"

"Hate me, at least I won't harm you...Your Majesty, study Chinese and martial arts well, I'll wait for the day when you have the ability to kill me."

"You have to keep your eyes open, you must open your eyes to see what is true and what is false, who is loyal and who is traitor!"

"..."

In the warm pavilion of the palace, Emperor Di Douyin was startled by the noise in his dream and had a headache, and suddenly opened his eyes.

He had just passed his 21st birthday and had been drunk the night before.

When I opened my eyes, the voices of those memories in the dream seemed to be still lingering in my ears.

He covered his forehead with his palm, got up from the bed, went to the table and found a teacup to drink some water.

The open front of his body revealed a strong chest, and he swayed from side to side when he walked. He looked quite bohemian, as if he was deliberately against someone, and he did not have the solemn appearance of an emperor at all.

The young lady outside the Nuan Pavilion heard the voice, stood outside the door and asked cautiously:

"Your Majesty, are you awake? It's already late for morning..."

Di Douyin paused for a moment while drinking water, and then said angrily:

"If you make a mistake, you will make a mistake. Wouldn't it be the same if I didn't have the morning? Is it interesting to mention such a sentence?!"

The little eunuch outside quickly responded:
"The slave is wrong, from now on... later on..."

In the future, he would not dare to say that he would stop barking or mentioning it. How could he be in charge of this, so he changed his tone pitifully:
"But... but the Empress Dowager ordered the servants to call you to court, but they couldn't wake you up. The Empress Dowager said that when the court was over, she would let you go to Fushou Palace. She has something to say."

Di Douyin heard that his eyelashes trembled, as if he was caught in some kind of memory. After a while, he sneered and murmured:
"What are you talking about... I'm tired of hearing it."

After a while, the little eunuch said again:

"Your Majesty... General Helanke, please see me."

Di Douyin carried the teapot and swayed on the bed again, casually said:
"Let him in."

He Lanke, who was one of his companions at the time, was the nephew of He Lan Youguang, the master of the South.At that time, He Lan Youguang was the least guilty, so his home was not ransacked, but his position was demoted, and He Lanke was not implicated either.

After he came in, he bowed to Di Douyin, looked up at his scribbled look of just waking up, then quickly lowered his head and said:

"Your Majesty... If the news of your appearance reaches the ears of Empress Dowager Feng, we fellow readers should be punished again. Why don't you go to court? If you don't go to court, won't you just hand over your power to those Han people?"

Hearing this, Di Douyin leaned on the couch, bent his legs and mocked:

"What? You've become Queen Mother Feng's eyeliner too? Don't you tell me that someone knows?"

Hollande lowered his head and was completely silent.

For so many years, whenever Di Douyin made a mistake, it has become a habit for them to be punished instead.He didn't even realize that sometimes he was acting as the eyeliner of Empress Dowager Feng, influencing the behavior of the emperor.

"What do you want from me?" Di Douyin asked angrily.

He Lanke then said:
"Your Majesty, Chang Zhe has returned to the army town. The British Duke's wife is seriously ill. The British Duke Shi Yu Hengjia and him are gone. Now Shen Liuzhen and Xie Yuanyuan are in Liuxian County. Since His Majesty returned to the court after winning the battle, many Han courtiers also supported him. Your Majesty is in charge, and now is a good time to do it. As long as you get rid of Queen Mother Feng in one go, no one will be on your Majesty's head in the future."

Di Douyin laughed, with desolation and helplessness in his deep eyes, and said:
"What are you talking about?... I have been in charge of the government for a long time, and the queen mother is just like the first emperor, assisting the court. It's not that she is pressing on my head, but I am too lazy to take care of those government affairs. It is not good for someone to work for me Why? Why did I get rid of her?!"

He Lanke was shocked when he heard that, raised his head and said:
"Your Majesty?! Are you joking or are you serious?... How can you make such a joke? We have worked hard for so many years, and now we finally have the opportunity! Your Majesty! Have you forgotten how your nanny died? ?”

Di Douyin's sneering expression gradually subsided, and there was sadness and pain in his eyes, which were very similar to Wu Lei's.

Just when He Lanke thought his reminder had worked, Di Douyin suddenly asked coldly:
"Do you really care about her?"

"...What?" He Lanke didn't react.

Di Douyin's brows and eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and he asked again:
"Do you really care about her death?"

He Lanke's eyes flickered, and he just opened his mouth and said three words: "Of course..." He was interrupted by Di Douyin, who said angrily:
"You don't care! You only care about whether you can get promoted and get rich! No one in this palace cares about me, how could anyone care about a worthless slave!"

Horanke's pupils shook in shock, as if he was about to cry, and said:
"Your Majesty! You wronged the dead minister! We risked our lives to fight against the Queen Mother Bao and Shen Xie for His Majesty's sake. How heartbreaking you say that!"

Di Douyin sneered twice "hehe", threw the teapot in his hand to the ground, and said angrily:

"Fart! If I wasn't the emperor, would you still do this for me?! It's good to say that it's for me, not for yourselves?!

There are only two kinds of people in this world, one who expects me to gain glory and wealth, and the other who expects me to be a diligent monarch who will work hard to serve Wei.After all, I am just a tool in your eyes!Who among you really cared about me? ! "

The fragments of the teapot scratched the back of He Lanke's hand. He saw that Di Douyin was shaking and said in a panic:

"Chen... the minister will leave."

After saying that, he left as if fleeing.

Di Douyin looked at his fleeing back, took a few breaths, suddenly felt very cold, quickly closed the open skirt of his pajamas, and hugged himself with both hands.

……

In front of the gate of Fushou Palace.

Di Douyin was already dressed neatly, and there was nothing wrong with him from head to toe. The bright yellow dragon robe fit his young and strong figure very well, and he looked majestic and dignified.

Before he entered the door, he subconsciously looked at his clothes, not even letting go of his boots.But after reading it, he felt extremely suffocated again, so he deliberately raised his foot and kicked the threshold before stepping in slowly.

Empress Dowager Feng was over 40 years old at this time, but apart from a little fat and a more simple and solemn hairstyle, she still had slender eyebrows and eyes like smoke, with a gentle and mysterious beauty.

When she was almost idle, she flipped through the memorials one after another, until Di Douyin stood in front of her, and she raised her eyes.

The moment she raised her eyes, she looked at Di Douyin, who was very similar to Ulei, she was dazed for a moment, and her eyes unconsciously showed nostalgia and affection.

But soon, she drew back, lowered her slender eyebrows, and taught:

"I heard that His Majesty was so greedy for fine wine yesterday that he couldn't even wake up in the morning."

Di Douyin raised his face, with an arrogant look of fearlessness, and proudly replied:

"Yes."

Feng Boyang looked up at him again, and said:
"Your Majesty is already twenty-one this year. You are a father. Why do you always look so angry? When will you get over your rebellious nature?"

Hearing this, Di Douyin deliberately swayed and walked to her side and sat down. Under the staring gaze of the Empress Dowager Feng Boyang, he casually flipped through the memorial and said mockingly:
"Are these memorials so beautiful? Queen Mother, is it because I have never been happy? Do you know what other people say about me? ... They say that I am a puppet in your hands. Why don't you completely let go of your rights and take care of yourself for the elderly? how?"

Hearing this, Feng Boyang narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes suddenly became vigilant. She looked at Di Douyin's side face and said:
"...If Your Majesty does well, I will be happy to be free. But if Your Majesty wants to favor the nobles of Xianbei and ruin the business of the late Emperor and me for so many years, then I will never agree, unless I die."

She spoke with such firmness that she almost cursed through gnashing of teeth.

Di Douyin stopped turning over the memorial, his eyes flickered, as if he was thinking and hesitating, after a while he moved again, and said mockingly:
"I really don't understand what's so good about being an emperor. I don't have anyone around me who can treat me sincerely, and I have to deal with government affairs from dawn to dusk, and deal with courtiers painstakingly.

From walking, sitting and lying down to talking and eating, there is no place where you are at ease.

It is said that the emperor is the supreme in the world and enjoys the supreme glory, but no matter how rich the clothes are, don’t they just eat a little and wear a few clothes?In order to eat and wear so little, I am tired and suffering, and if I am not careful, my life will be in danger. What am I trying to do? "

Empress Dowager Feng Boyang frowned, looked at Di Douyin and said:
"What is your majesty talking about? As the king of a country, when the goal is lofty and the world is in the heart, why do you eat and wear so little? You might as well keep your revenge on your lips. I feel more comfortable, at least practice literature and martial arts diligently.

Since His Majesty came back from the expedition, did he feel that he had already gained power and could take revenge, so he became more and more unsightly? ! "

Di Douyin didn't move at all, turned her head and said to her:
"Let the prince be the emperor, and I will be the supreme emperor. Anyway, the government is governed by the queen mother, so it makes no difference whoever becomes the emperor."

"Your Majesty!!!" Feng Boyang was so angry that he stared at him with wide eyes, but couldn't speak anymore.

"That's it." After Di Douyin said, he got up immediately.

When he got outside the gate of the palace, he turned his head and glanced inside the door, his brows and eyes were covered with a layer of sadness.

He was wrong before.

In order to deal with Shen Liuzhen and Xie Yuan for so many years, he devoted himself to wooing hostile forces, and almost all the Xianbei nobles who opposed the Han people's power were brought under his command.

He once imagined that Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen would be beheaded by the knife, but before he could do it, those two people really abandoned everything and ran to the remote Liu County of Bo County to become the county magistrate and remove their armor. Unemployed generals.

They are really not for power and wealth, but for Wei Guo.

At that moment, Di Douyin was in an unspeakably sad mood, as if so many years of hard work had become a joke, he secretly cried all night.

But he was already wrong, the forces attached to him could not be dissipated suddenly, and it was bound to push him to the position he had planned.At that time, there is bound to be a big change in the court.

Di Douyin withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and murmured:
"Hmph, I'm not as great as Father and the others, so let's do one last thing for Wei."

After finishing speaking, he raised his hand to stroke his hair, looked at the white clouds in the sky in the distance, sighed, and walked away.
