The king of the world, the king of the earth.

Ordered by heaven, long life and prosperity!

The giant tripod on the high platform was ablaze with fire. Wu Linyue, wearing a brocade phoenix robe, walked slowly towards the giant tripod with the jade seals of the ten countries in her hands.

The burning fire was reflected in her phoenix eyes, and she was stunned for a moment.

It was as if she saw herself when she was only 18 years old.

Imprisoned mother, killed sister, and obtained the throne of Wu State...

After a series of reforms, the supremacy of force was promoted, making the soldiers of Wu State as cruel and barbaric as tigers and wolves, and using various not-so-glorious means to destroy the vassal states one by one...

Originally, they used the slogan of supporting Zhou Wangji to attract support, but later Zhou Wangji was useless, so they secretly threw the other party into the Jinjiang River and sank to the bottom of the water...

These scenes flashed through Wu Linyue's mind one by one.

Shenzhou has been obtained, but she is a little confused.

She got the world, but lost a lot.

Relatives feared her, officials were afraid of her, and she was obviously in control of the world, but she had become a lonely person.

Wu Linyue raised the jade seals with both hands, placed them on the altar under the giant tripod, and bowed.

Looking back, below were her relatives, officials, citizens, and Situ Kong and several monarchs who knelt and prostrated at her feet.

"Long live the emperor!"

Amid the cheers, a smile appeared on Wu Linyue's face.

Her eyes fell on Situ Kong, and a gleam of light flashed in her phoenix eyes.

Once upon a time, when she was still young, she was innocent and naive, just like Situ Kong.

This little emperor made up for the loss in her heart.

....................

The whole country was jubilant at the enthronement ceremony.

Various specialty foods collected from other countries were placed on the streets for the people to watch and taste at will.

A banquet was held in the palace, and officials and generals gathered together to recite poems and drink happily.

Situ Kong and his friends set up a seat in a corner.

However, except for Situ Kong, the other three princesses did not have much appetite, but had some complicated expressions.

"Eat, it's such a delicious food, it's a pity not to eat it."

Situ Kong didn't feel that melancholy, his small mouth was filled with all kinds of delicacies, and the oil stains made his lips and chin shiny and attractive.

In the past few days, Situ Kong has put aside many unnecessary etiquettes after getting along with several people.

What about the king's concubine of the suzerain, the princess of Qi and the princess of Han? Now they are all princesses of the fallen country with empty titles. The respect in etiquette is meaningless.

It's useless to be strong in the past. Now brothers and sisters are ordinary people, and no one is nobler than anyone else.

"Alas, it's hard to cut it off, and it's hard to sort it out. I feel melancholy in my heart. It's a different taste. Even if it's delicacies from mountains and seas, it's hard to swallow."

Zhao Wangji sighed as she looked at Situ Kong eating with oil dripping from his mouth.

"Today is the day when King Wu proclaimed himself emperor, and it's also the day when we really lost our country. How can it not make people feel melancholy."

Han Wangji shook her head, took a sip of wine, and sighed softly.

Princess Qi didn't say much, she just lowered her head to drink and didn't touch the food.

"I think you are concerned about how Emperor Wu will deal with us later?"

Situ Kong looked around and said in a low voice.

The originally melancholy expressions of the crowd changed slightly, and their eyes focused on Situ Kong.

They have been caught here for so long, and they have let go of everything they should have let go. Now they are really worried about this.

"Lord Dihua, I see that His Majesty is close to you. How do you think His Majesty will deal with us?"

"She is very close to me... Is she?"

Situ Kong stopped chewing the crispy meat, and only a pair of eyes turned to look at the three people with doubts.

The four people stared at each other, and the atmosphere was a little quiet.

"I don't know either. Anyway, if we behave ourselves, she won't do anything to us, right?"

"This..."

The three smiled awkwardly.

Wu Linyue's temperament is unpredictable. When she is generous, she can accommodate the soldiers who rebelled during the war. When she is stingy, she will kill 200,000 people because of a sarcasm. When she is trustworthy, she will hand over the important territory to other countries because of verbal promises. When she is disloyal, she will tear up the alliance and attack friendly forces...

The fickleness of human beings is fully demonstrated in her.

They remember that when Zhou Wangji came to Chang'an and passed by Jinjiang,

The boat sank to the bottom of the water...

Zhou Wangji was honest and had emphasized many times that she did not want to revive the Zhou Dynasty, but only wanted to live in a corner, but...

So, Wu Linyue's reputation was not good, and she did not care about her reputation.

"You idiots, if His Majesty Emperor Wu really has that idea, what will you do? It is better to eat honestly, eat well, satisfy your appetite, and have fewer regrets on the road to the underworld, don't die without a full stomach!"

Situ Kong's words made the three people's eyes stagnate, as if a flash of inspiration flashed in their minds.

"Yes, it can't be changed anyway, it is better to eat honestly first, worry about it, there is no need to be afraid!"

After the three people figured it out, they immediately joined the army of eating.

But unfortunately, just when they woke up, a call came over, and the hands of the three people who had just picked up the chopsticks stopped in mid-air.

"Your Majesty's order, summon the four of you to the Wude Hall."

Okay, here we are, there's no chance to be a fool.

"Did your Majesty say anything else?"

"Send the four of you over earlier."

Can't wait a moment...

The three of them thought that Wu Linyue would deal with them after a while after becoming emperor, but they didn't expect that she would want to deal with them so soon after the ceremony of becoming emperor.

"Let's go."

The four of them looked at each other and followed the soldier who passed the message to the Wude Hall.

At the entrance of the Wude Hall, every step of the stone stairs made people walk heavily. It was not very high, but it made people feel depressed.

Situ Kong and others took off their shoes and entered the Wude Hall. Wu Linyue sat lazily on the phoenix chair facing her. Wearing today's embroidered phoenix robe made her look majestic and noble, and with her heroic and cold appearance, she was full of aura.

"Your Majesty."

"Sit down. I hate the fancy etiquette. It's a waste of time."

The four of them sat down in front of him, looking at the cold-faced queen on the wind chair with some trepidation.

Every time they looked at each other, the sharp eyes and majestic aura made them a little scared.

At this moment, they also deeply understood what it felt like when the servants looked at them.

"It feels very uncomfortable..."

Situ Kong muttered in his heart. He didn't like this kind of suffocating atmosphere, as he was used to a relaxed and light atmosphere.

"Shenzhou has been officially unified, and you should go back..."

Wu Linyue picked up a cup of tea and gently scraped it. The cold and magnetic voice was very clear in the oppressive Wude Hall.

"Eh? Your Majesty, can you really go back?"

Hearing Wu Linyue's words, Situ Kong was stunned for a moment, and then there was a look of surprise in his eyes.

Hehe, this woman is not so disgusting, she is still very generous~

Situ Kong's inner evaluation of Wu Linyue's disgustingness has changed.

However, compared to Situ Kong's happy look, the eyes of the other three people are terrified, and sweat keeps pouring out of their foreheads.

"Your Majesty, I don't want to go back, I just want to stay in Chang'an and be a guard of the manor!"

Qi Wangji immediately kowtowed and said loudly.

"Your Majesty, I am the same, I just want to stay in Chang'an!"

"Your Majesty, I am the same!"

Han Wangji and Zhao Wangji also kowtowed excitedly, begging to stay in Chang'an.

"Huh?"

Why don't you go back if you can?

Situ Kong blinked his clear and holy eyes, not understanding what was wrong with these three people. They didn't want to go back to serve the people even if they had the opportunity to go back.

The three people tilted their heads slightly, looking at Situ Kong with complicated expressions. They had many things to tell this innocent little emperor in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it.

How can I go back to serve the people? !

Yes, I promised to let you go back.

But there is no guarantee that you will not encounter bandits on the road to rob and kill, or that the boat will sink when crossing the river.

You can't bet on this!

"Situ Kong, you want to go back?"

Wu Linyue narrowed her eyes, a ray of light flashed, and a faint smile appeared on her face.

Her smile has different feelings for different people. Zhao Wangji and the other two looked at this smile and felt it was sinister, cold and sinister, while Situ Kong thought she was half joking and in a good mood.

He became the emperor and pardoned the world, which should be very generous...

Situ Kong took it for granted in his heart.

"If your majesty allows, Situ Kong is willing to serve the people forever!"

Situ Kong also followed the three people and bowed respectfully.

Wu Linyue did not speak, her eyes fell on Situ Kong for a long time, and suddenly laughed.

"Hahaha."

The laughter echoed, and the four people slowly raised their heads.

"I originally wanted you to

I want to return to the country to serve the people, but after hearing your request, I thought about it..."

Wu Linyue's eyes turned and fell on the three people of Qi Wangji, "Since you are unwilling to return to the country to serve the people, then settle down in Chang'an and be a submissive citizen. You don't need to guard the gate, chop wood, or feed horses. You can receive 100 taels of silver every year at half the salary of a marquis and become a rich citizen..."

"Thank you, Your Majesty! !"

The three knelt down in unison to thank you, with tears of gratitude.

Being able to stay in Chang'an means that Wu Linyue has no intention of killing them, and you can also receive 100 taels of silver every year and become a rich citizen, which is much more comfortable than working hard to make money as an ordinary person.

"Your Majesty, what about me? "

Situ Kong saw that the three of them had been arranged, and looked at Wu Linyue expectantly, with his tender lips curled up and white teeth showing, looking as cute as a little hamster looking forward to being fed.

You are so generous to the three of them, so you should be generous to me too?

"As for you..."

Wu Linyue's eyes returned to Situ Kong, and seeing Situ Kong's expectant expression, she sneered first, and then leaned back lazily on the chair.

Situ Kong was stunned for a moment when he heard this sneer, and then he saw the smile on Wu Linyue's face gradually disappearing, and he immediately felt something was wrong.

"I asked you to leave, the three of them respected me and didn't want to leave me, so I was moved and let them stay. You, Situ Kong, thought about leaving me without any hesitation, how do you think I should reward you? "

Wu Linyue's voice became colder, and Situ Kong felt a little nervous.

"Your Majesty, I was wrong just now. I actually respect your Majesty and want to stay by your side..."

"Well, I will let you stay by my side and serve me."

"No, your Majesty, that..."

"It's settled. If you want to bargain, do you think I'm in a vegetable market? !"

Wu Linyue shook her hand, "Drag me out!"

"Yes!"

Situ Kong was dragged out. He stood outside the palace door, looking at Zhao Yu and the other two with a smile in his eyes.

"Ahhhhh! Stinky woman!"

Situ Kong looked at the Wude Hall and stomped his feet with gritted teeth.

Inside the Wude Hall, Wu Linyue ate a grape, his eyes full of pride, "Want to leave me? No way!"
