She Is Not a Witch

Vol 4 Chapter 43: The old affairs of the dynasty (thanks to the leader of Conservation _lulu)

Molin Island, King Dai's palace.

Molin, black black jade, used to refer to virtuous talents in the dynasty. It is located in the south of Baier Continent and east of Xuanyuan Continent. It is the center of the Southwest Continents.

Many years ago, the young King Dai was enshrined here. He was the third son of the emperor. At that time, he was conferred the throne when he was just an adult, and he was favored by many ministers and royal family members.

In his youth, King Dai had a bright personality and liked to travel around. When he was a prince, he drank wine, recited poems and talked about the affairs of the world with many celebrities and poets on the Nightless River in Luojing. Tend to it.

When he was crowned king, he attracted many great talents to vote for him, worshiped under his door, and gave him advice and suggestions. Although he didn't have the name of a prince, he already had the status of a prince.

Someone once advised the emperor to admonish King Dai to act modestly and prudently, but the emperor did not respond.

In another four years, Prince Dai's mansion gradually became more and more powerful, and many people used his name to roam the officialdom and began to form a faction to support King Dai.

In the spring of the year of Meixue, Qingyuzhou state herdsman died in the river, only discovered a few days later, and the world was shocked.

Fangzhou Mu is an important minister of the dynasty, he can meet the emperor face to face, submit a memorial to tell the world, but in the peaceful world, he was assassinated by someone and thrown into the river, the emperor ordered Qiu to sue him.

At that time, Chief Qiu was a strict and wise man. Under the supervision of his order, the case came out, but the result involved a lot, especially the person wearing the palace, who had a faint conspiracy to murder others, and then Chief Qiu pursued him. Unceasingly, together with others, they pulled out the cases related to it over the past few years one by one. The list is extremely extensive, and all of them are related to Dai Wang's mansion.

So far, the court has been silent, and no one dares to tell the emperor.

Afterwards, the Son of Heaven ordered Chief Qiu to close the investigation and not to expand the matter. After that, Prince Dai's mansion was cleaned up, and all the people who were supported in the mansion were driven out by the palace guards. King Dai himself knelt in front of the Queen's Palace and did not get up for three days.

After this incident, the emperor became colder towards King Dai, but he did not cut off his title.

At first, all the ministers thought that King Dai had lost the emperor's heart and could no longer be the prince, but after three years, the emperor still did not make a new prince as king.

Afterwards, Prince Dai's mansion became lively again, and more and more people visited him.

Chief Qiu had told the emperor several times that he should punish King Dai severely, but in the end he lost his official position and died, and his descendants gradually withdrew from the ruling and opposition parties.

In this way, it was not until the emperor was getting old that King Huainan was granted the title to fight against King Dai.

The ink-colored long silk hangs down from the girders in the palace one by one, like courtiers standing on both sides, facing the spacious Xuanqing main road in the middle of the hall.

Once upon a time, that is, a few months ago, there were more civil servants and generals standing on both sides of the hall than the long black silk silk hanging in the hall, but now under the black silk, there are only sporadic people standing. Inside, it looked particularly bleak and cold.

At the top of the center of the main hall, the paunchy King Dai was sitting on the throne made of warm black jade. He was propping his head with his hands at the moment, looking at the motionless palace, as if his thoughts had long since left him.

Everyone in the palace was also standing quietly at this moment, without speaking. Most of those who could stay at this time had been with King Dai for a long time. Naturally, they knew this person's character and would not speak at such a time. disturb.

It was clearly the time for the opening of the palace to discuss matters, but the palace was exceptionally quiet, and the time passed like this every second, until the sun outside slowly rose, and part of the sunlight shone into the palace, staining the stone floor of Xuanqing. The top is faintly golden.

At some unknown time, King Dai woke up suddenly, he moved his body, stretched out his hand, and then the maid who stood beside him for a long time filled his wine glass.

The rumbling sound of drinking echoed in the hall, and then King Dai let out a sigh of relief after drinking.

"Let's all go away." After this order, various voices resounded in the hall.

Everyone bowed their heads, then retreated slowly, their backs and footsteps gradually disappearing at the entrance of the hall.

Although the hall was soon empty, there was still one person who did not leave. The courtier under King Dai's right hand was a little old, and his beard was a little gray.

"Why didn't Lian Shanqing leave?" Dai Wang leaned on the back of the jade seat and closed his eyes to rest.

"For His Majesty's sake." The veteran bowed his head.

"Oh, no need." Dai Wang said casually without opening his eyes.

This old minister is none other than his teacher when he was young, his wife's father, and his own father-in-law. It can be said that he is the most special among the courtiers.

"Alas..." Looking at the dazed King Dai who had lost his fighting spirit, the old minister sighed and stood still.

During the battle against Luojing, the troops led by King Dai were defeated by the Julong army who supported the new king, and they fled countless times. Although they managed to regroup, they lost their morale and many generals died in the battle against Luojing. Now, there are even more rebellions in the rear. Many state shepherds and frontier generals who followed King Dai before have also left. It is not responding. Of the twenty-seven continents in the southwest, only six continents are still reluctantly under the command of King Dai. , compared with the momentum that swept the world the month before, it is a world of difference.

Suffering such a blow, King Dai, who had been in high spirits before, also became confused, no longer had the fighting spirit he had before, drank drunk, and ignored his affairs.

He Lianshan stood in the hall and did not leave, but Dai Wang ignored the old man, and still let the maid around him keep pouring wine, and then downed it gulply, occasionally speaking indistinctly with his tongue curled up. The fat body is now like soft mud, and the body is full of alcohol, and the posture is unbearable, making it hard to believe that this is the mighty King Dai.

Seeing that King Dai was sinking day by day, He Lianshan also thought about dissuading him or encouraging him again, but nothing seemed to work. The two spent a long time together. It can be said that King Dai already understood the teacher's words, Already immune.

Regarding this, He Lianshan could only sigh suddenly, lamenting the change of His Highness.

In fact, many years ago, King Dai was not what he is now. He still remembers the scene when he saw this King Dai for the first time under the guidance of his servants in the palace.

At that time, King Dai was only twelve years old, and he stood under the blooming pear trees in golden silk brocade clothes, answering the queen's test. expect.

He articulated clearly and had a sharp mind. After answering the queen's test questions, he turned around and saluted himself with a humble and courteous appearance.

At that time, he couldn't help but be full of expectations and ambitions for the dynasty to have such an heir. After that, he gradually approached that position and was promoted to be the teacher who specially taught King Dai.

When he was young, King Dai was full of energy. After completing the lessons he had given him, he would take many friends of the same age out of the palace to play, sometimes riding horses to hunt, sometimes riding boats on the river, reciting poems, To make friends with the younger generation among the nobles of the dynasty is simply an ideal prince.

But... these are Ruyan's past.

The sound of snoring resounded in the main hall. Seeing that King Dai was drunk again, He Lianshan had to bow his head in salute, and then backed down slowly.

The next day, King Dai was still drunk and did not open the mansion to discuss matters.

On the third day, he reluctantly opened the mansion, but sat drowsy on the jade throne, and someone below reported it, but he responded perfunctorily. Everyone saw it and had to leave.

On the fourth day, He Lianshan went to visit Prince Dai's Mansion.

Walking through the long corridor and the courtyard guarded by the guards, He Lianshan came to the depths of the backyard, and a woman in a black-and-gold embroidered dress stepped forward.

"Where is father coming today?" This is his daughter, who is now King Dai's official wife.

"I have come to pay my respects to Your Majesty."

"Father..." The woman asked the maid beside her to step back for a while, and then pulled the old minister aside.

Seeing that no one around could eavesdrop, the woman opened her mouth.

"To this day, father still refuses to give up?" Compared with this courtier, as Dai Wang's wife, she has long realized the nature of the people around her, and she has long since given up hope.

"I...have failed the late Emperor's entrustment." He sighed, and understood his daughter's intentions in his heart.

"Back then, the emperor asked me to teach His Majesty, but I didn't want to make it to this day."

"Father doesn't need to say such things anymore." The woman led He Lianshan to a small pavilion and sat down.

"Your Majesty's matter, and temper, how can father teach to correct it."

"At that time, the head of the autumn official, Ying Lixing, played many times to impeach King Dai for forming a party for selfishness and overdoing the rules. He did not see the emperor blame him. In the end, he made His Majesty counterattack and made Ying Lixing lose his official position and die."

"Na Ying Li Xing is the head of the 'Xuanyi Palace'. He was just and strict all his life. After his death, the disciples of Xuanyi Palace gradually lost power in the court, and Qi Lei Minze Qizhou also gradually separated from the dynasty."

"Even the Son of Heaven is so conniving, how can father's simple word of mouth change it." This woman is now past the age of innocence and caution, and now she evaluates her husband very freely.

"In the past, I also entered the palace, made friends with the queens and concubines in the harem, and got some news from them."

"Does father know why the emperor loves His Majesty so much when he was young?"

"Oh, why is that?" He Lianshan was puzzled, looking at his daughter aside, this was the first time he knew about these past events in the palace.

The woman sat by the pavilion, sprinkled the bait into the water with her hand, watched the fish swimming below come to compete for food, and talked about some past events in her mouth.

"In the past, when the late emperor was young, he was brought up by Concubine Lan. Concubine Lan was weak and was often bullied in the palace. At that time, the empress was the daughter of the Bi family. The fact that there are so many powerful people from home and abroad, and the extensive acquaintances and marriages, also makes the daughter of the Bi family extremely arrogant, and the other concubines in the palace are all afraid to give in."

"At that time, the first emperor was still young, and he followed Concubine Lan. He was taught many rules and became low-key and sensible, so as to avoid the oppression of the empress and her heirs."

"Originally, everyone thought that the queen's son would inherit the throne, but they didn't want to see His Majesty Chifeng, who was enjoying the scenery in the sea of ​​clouds, when the late emperor came across him when he was young on the way to worship at Yuzhang Mountain. He was loved by Chifeng, so he often taught and raised him."

"Seeing that His Majesty Chifeng loves this child so much, the Holy Majesty at that time also gradually changed his mind, and later he even helped him to be the crown prince, and then he will inherit the throne."

"After the emperor ascended the throne, the Bi family lost power, and even the Luo Jing VI family was implicated and suppressed. It was not until more than ten years ago that they gradually recovered."

"When the Son of Heaven was young, although he was sensible early on, he suffered a lot of grievances and had a lot of regrets in his heart. His Majesty King Dai, who was born handsome since he was a child, is similar to him, so he is loved a lot."

"When Dai Wang was young, he had a cheerful and impulsive personality, and he acted freely. Although it seemed inappropriate to outsiders, in the eyes of the emperor, he was very pleased and happy, because he was no longer the same as he was back then. He was cautious and careful everywhere. In addition, King Dai is the eldest son of the empress, and is favored by the emperor, so..."

"Father, it's useless for you to dissuade me now." After casting the bait in her hand, the woman turned around. Although her brows were still black, there were some faint wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.

"I don't want to, it turned out to be the reason why the first emperor doted on His Majesty King Dai, alas..."

After He Lianshan listened to his daughter's story, some things that he hadn't understood before suddenly became clear, but now he vaguely understands why, with the strong evidence and strength of Qiu Guan, he failed to get King Dai to be punished.

After Jian's father gradually understood, the woman slowly got up, looked at the blooming King Dai's mansion again, and then spoke.

"Father, make preparations early, and you won't have to visit your daughter again in the future."

Hearing these words, He Lianshan raised his head in surprise and looked at his daughter.

"This is?"

"Take Qinghe and his children and leave the Southwest Continents. You can go to the sea or the Honghu Continents in the south. In short, don't stay here any longer." The woman said slowly with He Lianshan on her back. , Qinghe is her younger brother, and she and she are both He Lianshan's children.

"Although King Dai is decadent now, after all, there are still several families who come to support him. Even if he can't win the world, it may not be impossible to occupy one side and preserve his glory." He Lianshan asked, his face full of puzzlement.

"Ronghua? I'm afraid it will be difficult. Father, you don't know much about affairs outside the official court of the Dynasty. Those who come to the door are not frontier soldiers or officials of the Dynasty. They are completely different..." She shook her head.

"In the past, Chifeng and the immortals made an alliance on the mountain of the Yellow Sea. Although the world came to surrender to the emperor of the dynasty, it was based on the oath and agreement made by Chifeng. Now Chifeng is dead, and the emperor broke the agreement first. , the oath of the alliance will not break on its own."

"Although they stand beside His Majesty King Dai, no one can guarantee that they will not repent and rebel in the future, let alone His Majesty King Dai has no tendency to sweep the world."

"The day before yesterday, the disciples of the Xiangyu Sect sent letters to all the sects in the southwest and all the upper sects one by one, saying that they can no longer participate in the internal struggle of the dynasty, and set a deadline for the order. If you violate it, you will bear the consequences."

"Xiangyu School~www.readwn.com~ But the Burning Sun Xiangyu School in Luzhou? I have heard that it was passed down by the Immortal Fenxiang. , The Scorching Sun and Xiangyu sect also acted modestly, so how come they are so strong now, even... conceited?" He described it as such after deliberation.

"The Dragon Tree Xuexue Sect has lived in Brown Linzhou for a long time. It has been handed down for hundreds of years. There are countless true disciples under the sect. Zhu Zhanhuo Lianyuan is also one of Chifeng's direct descendants. There are many disciples in the sect. Could it be that they are so obedient? No?" He Lianshan frowned.

"I don't know why..." The woman turned around with a sigh.

"However, that day, I saw the representatives of these families who came to the house after hearing about the incident, they were silent for a long time, and they did not respond as casually as before, but instead looked heavy and hesitant."

"Even if I didn't know about the Xiangyu faction, I've vaguely known it since then. With such a great momentum, there are so many great factions in the twenty-seven continents in the southwest. I'm afraid no one would dare to confront it openly."

"After the imperial conferment of the golden sparrow witch, the natural goddess, the newborn phoenix, and the four veins of the scorpion gradually merged into one, the southwestern sects may have a faint tendency to submit to the unity."
