Grandpa, she can't be a woman

Chapter 30 Gifts, Born Ziwei Star
"I will not disappoint His Majesty the Emperor Dasheng!"

The eldest prince of Beili turned sideways confidently, and clapped his hands towards the outside of the hall,

Soon, someone brought in a large iron cage that was as tall as a person. The outside of the cage was covered with a layer of black cloth, so that people could not see what was inside.

In the main hall, some people who were far away from the emperor began to discuss in low voices,

However, Prince Beili didn't intend to immediately uncover the black cloth,
Instead, he walked out a few steps, stood in the center of the hall, and said loudly:

"Your Majesty, you may not know it. According to the legend of our Northern Li country, there is a colorful bird that symbolizes auspiciousness under the seat of the gods.
The divine bird is born psychic, able to distinguish good from evil,
Whenever he encounters the most treacherous and evil people, he will violently hurt others;
But if he meets a kind person, he will take the initiative to approach him docilely.

But intimacy and obedience are still different after all.

Rumor has it that only the innate Ziwei star can completely tame the divine bird and take it as his own! "

Since ancient times, Ziwei Star has always been a symbol of emperors.

But not every emperor can be called a born Ziwei star.

In fact, there are only five emperors recorded as "born Ziwei star" in the history books so far.

And the closest one happened to be the founding emperor of the Dasheng Dynasty——

His Majesty today is his father.

More than 20 years ago, the last emperor of the previous dynasty was incompetent, indulged in pleasure and extravagant.

In order to build a palace for his own enjoyment, regardless of the life and death of the people, he raised taxes and forced civil service, and used the bones and blood of nearly [-] ordinary people to build his wine pool and meat forest!
The emperor lies drunk in the arms of a beauty,

But his people starved to death on the streets of the capital where there should be no beggars.

It was at that time that the first emperor rose up.

From an ordinary commoner who was driven to the end of the road, to conquering half of the country and proclaiming himself emperor in the south,
The first emperor only spent two years.

And in the year after that, the first emperor repelled the neighboring countries that were eyeing tigers at an astonishing speed, and led his army to break through the capital, completely ending the era of the previous dynasty's rule and establishing a brand new big country. Sheng Dynasty!

After securing the throne, the first emperor still did not slack off,
He carried out a series of drastic reforms in all aspects of the country,
Reduce taxes, encourage business, open trade with other countries,
It even changed the idea of ​​only respecting Confucianism for nearly a hundred years, and tried its best to restore the cultural splendor of a hundred schools of thought contending!

The first emperor reigned for only eight years,
But in this short period of eight years, Dasheng has jumped from a country that was waiting to be rebuilt to the leader of the five countries!
The people admired him, the literati appreciated him, and even the generals were deeply impressed by him.

A person like the first emperor is without a doubt a truly well-deserved born Ziwei star!
The current emperor has personally experienced the situation during the reign of the late emperor.

If possible, he would of course also want to be like the late emperor.

It's a pity... aptitude is really destined by heaven.

The first emperor spent eight years pushing Dasheng to prosperity,
And it took him ten years to make Dasheng's national power gradually weaken.

No one dared to say directly to his face that he was inferior to the late emperor,
But no matter how unwilling he was to accept this iron-clad fact, he had to admit it.

But now, he seems to have a chance to give himself the title of "Natural Ziwei Star"...
