The Retirement of the Demon Lord

The old man who entered the palace at night was Yang Shiqi, the elder of the three dynasties, who was under one person and over ten thousand people.

At this time, he was growing up, and the emperor, who was only in his forties, was as full of white hair as his old self, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.

He simply saluted the emperor, and the emperor stopped him before he could bend down and asked him to excuse himself and take the seat.

Yang Shiqi nodded to the emperor, and then nodded to an old **** in white with an old face standing beside the emperor. The old **** in white nodded in return.

This old **** was somewhat similar to Eunuch Chen who had been killed in the Palace of Preserving Harmony before, but with more wrinkles on his face, he seemed to be about his own age.

But Yang Shiqi knew that this old **** was also called Eunuch Chen, or he was the real Eunuch Chen. He was only ten years older than the emperor, and he was still old enough to be his father.

He is one of the four martial arts of the town that is said to guard the center, Tiancuo.

Tiancuo has also defended the Danai Palace for two dynasties, and Yang Shiqi is one of the very few people who know his identity. Even a few years ago, when the emperor asked Tiancuo to retire and take care of his life, he exchanged fakes for real, and it was he who helped Wuming secretly cultivate fake **** Chen.

Therefore, in the Hall of Preserving Harmony, even if the thief found out that Tiancuo was the head of Eunuch Chen and made a sneak attack to kill Eunuch Chen, Yang Shiqi did not panic at all. Because he knew that the real Tiancuo had long since retired and lived in seclusion somewhere in the palace. These peerless masters are very sensitive to the feelings of the outside world. As long as he finds something wrong, they will come to solve the danger of the palace.

As a result, the unsuspecting ministers in the Hall of Preserving Harmony later praised him for being calm in the face of danger, and Taishan collapsed in front of him without changing his color... Well, his calmness was only because he knew some inside stories, otherwise he would be even more vicious than them. Knowing that you can get out of the siege when you arrive at Tiancuo, how much is it worthwhile to shout in there if you anger the other party and get stabbed a few times?

I just didn't expect that Tiancuo suddenly got so old after not seeing each other for a few years. He heard the emperor say that the martial arts practiced in Tiancuo overdrawn his body, and his body was not as good as one day, so he ordered him to retire to cultivate. See you this time, indeed.

Even so, as long as Tiancuo stood here, Yang Shiqi had an indescribable sense of security.

Yang Shiqi came to the table in the hall and sat down next to the emperor. The emperor turned back and waved his hand, indicating that Tiancuo would also sit down.

Tiancuo glanced at Yang Shiqi, Yang Shiqi's eyes were dim, but he nodded slightly. So Tiancuo sighed and sat on the other side of the emperor. The emperor has been exhausted physically and mentally recently, so let's go with the flow.

"The prime minister has been working hard these days to preside over the overall situation."

"What's the point of worrying about what's going on within the family." Yang Shiqi said modestly.

The emperor looked at his left and right hands, and couldn't help sighing, "At the moment of national disaster, I didn't expect that I would still have to rely on two Aiqings who should take care of their lives and enjoy the good fortune. Is it that I have exhausted my country's arrogance... I have cultivated and relied on for many years. An important official of the imperial court, if he says he is betrayed, he will betray, who else can I trust?"

"Your Majesty, this rebellion is just a few clowns who don't know how to live or die. It's just that the old ministers reacted too slowly, otherwise the danger of the imperial city should have been solved early. Most of the ministers in the dynasty did not want to surrender to the evil power of the thieves, and they were also the rulers of the country. The pillars are enough to prove that the emperor's country is still stable!" Tiancuo said quickly.

Originally, eunuchs of internal affairs could not discuss politics, but Tiancuo also had the position of generals to control the four martial arts of the country, which was unusual. For a long time, the emperor has not less to ask him about the level of the world's warriors, how to manage the rivers and lakes and other political affairs.

"The commander and deputy commander of the Three Company Sect led a large number of master warriors to rebel. Could it be a clown jumping on the beam?" The emperor shook his head, knowing that this was Tiancuo's words to comfort him, but it was too much.

This is the core strength of their court.

Everyone thinks they have defeated the chaos, but have they won? After this battle, the vitality of the three companies was severely damaged, especially the Shadow City Palace, and all the dark guards who had been cultivated in the imperial court for many years were wiped out. Du Ming is in charge of a lot of secrets, and the other secret guards who are arranged outside are also at risk of being exposed. As long as the other party has the heart, they can solve all the secret guards outside the Shadow City Palace at any time, leaving the Shadow City Palace with only a false name.

Besides, the death of the prince...is a victory? He was personally killed by the chaotic party. This prince was clearly used by someone with a heart. Would he be considered a victory over the chaotic party if he died?

No, no matter what the outcome of their Li family is, they are the biggest losers in this chaos.

"Cough cough cough..." The emperor suddenly coughed uncontrollably.

Not intense, but sounded flabby.

"Your Majesty, since you saw Li Tianhan's body, you haven't eaten much for more than a week. You can't hold it up like this." Tiancuo sighed and persuaded, getting up and serving a bowl of mountain treasures that he had prepared earlier. The miscellaneous hot porridge was placed in front of the emperor, "eat a little."

Now that the prince is a sinner of rebellion, he must be deprived of his title. Tiancuo has a high status, and he will call him by his name without hesitation.

"I'm not hungry, I have no appetite." The emperor pushed away the hot porridge slightly, the aroma of the food even made him feel sick, how could he possibly eat it.

These days, it all depends on the occasional pouring of the nourishing decoction prescribed by the imperial doctor, and the emperor did not fall down.

"What's wrong with the emperor?" Yang Shiqi asked with a frown.

He only heard from the emperor that he was not feeling well and could not go to court, but he didn't expect that he hadn't eaten or drank much for more than a week.

"No foreign disease found..." Tiancuo looked at Yang Shiqi and replied.

An old guy like Yang Shiqi, who was about to become fine, immediately understood what he meant. It was a heart disease.

He can understand.

The emperor only had two sons, and the loss of Li Jianbi at first had suffered a great blow, and then he was relieved by focusing all his attention on Li Tianhan. But Li Tianhan actually rebelled directly on the big day, and later died at the hands of the thieves, which was a fatal blow that the emperor could not let go of.

The most tragic young man in his life lost his father, his wife in middle age, and his son in his later years. The emperor experienced the last two painfully. Moreover, the loss of a child in his later years is the most tragic... He has also experienced two consecutive loss of children, which is not a blow that ordinary people can bear.

"All of this is the fault of the minister, and the crime of the minister deserves ten thousand death!" Yang Shiqi stood up and bowed to the emperor with a trembling old body, "If it wasn't for the old minister's suggestion that the emperor should seize the time to let the prince open up branches and leaves, and recommend himself as a matchmaker for the prince, then No such thing!"

"How could this be the Prime Minister's fault! Cough cough... Please get up! Cough cough..."

The emperor wanted to help Yang Shiqi, but his hands and feet were weak and weak.

Seeing this, Tiancuo hurriedly came over to help the two of them up, and a cold sweat broke out on their foreheads. The two are old and sick, can you stop messing with him!

"Cough, cough... How could it be the prime minister's fault that the renegade son has gone the wrong way? Since he is determined to rebel, even if there is no chance for the prime minister to propose marriage and not have this big marriage, he will find another opportunity. How can you blame the heavens!" The emperor recalled the old story with tears in his eyes, and felt quite self-blaming, "Instead, it was my father who made the mistake of teaching such two disobedient sons...cough..."

"It's not the emperor's fault. It's clearly the enemy's conspiracy, which is what tempted the two princes to take the road of no return." Tiancuo knew that the root cause of the emperor's heart disease was self-blame, and hurriedly changed the subject, "Speaking of which. The Prime Minister is anxious to see the emperor at night, why?"

"Recently, after hearing about the prince's rebellion and being killed, King Liuqin brought people to Nanjing, saying that it was too late to rescue him, but he could make up for it and help the emperor to control the world." Yang Shiqi came tonight, mainly to report this. thing.

He is under one person and above ten thousand people in the court, with a high status and a hundred subjects willing to obey. However, the Six Qin Kings were separated from the establishment of the imperial court, and they were also appointed by the late emperor as a fief teacher. He was the leader in each position, and he really wouldn't be obedient to Yang Shiqi.

The king of Liuqin was originally given the title of the land to protect the imperial capital. When there was trouble in the imperial city, they came here righteously, and he couldn't control it.

But you can't, you have to, because...

"This is... rushing towards me with no successor, each with their own calculus... deceiving me with no successor..." The emperor smiled bitterly, and the swirling tears finally flowed down, and his expression became even more haggard and pale. Lips are as white as paper.

Oops, why did you change the subject and go to the bereaved child! Tiancuo really has a headache, he can't cure his heart disease with a martial artist!

Seeing that the emperor understood the way, Yang Shiqi didn't need to talk too much. His prime minister could not order the King of Liuqin, but the emperor could only go out. Otherwise, King Liuqin will gradually intensify his efforts and begin to interfere in the internal affairs of the imperial court to cause disputes, and it will be difficult to drive them back to the fief in the future.

The emperor let out a long sigh. He understood the truth, but even if he had the heart now, he would not have the strength... When King Liuqin saw him like this, wouldn't he even think that the rivers and mountains were drifting, maybe it would fall on someone's head, Crazy ambition?

"If you want to be safe from internal and external troubles, only the emperor. You can only ask the emperor to quickly adjust his body in the past few days, and to shock the inside and outside with his excellent appearance, so that the chaos can be pacified."

Yang Shiqi's topic was so in-depth that it made the emperor adjust his body, and Tiancuo couldn't help but applaud from the bottom of his heart. Or these scholars have the skills to speak, and can give full play to China's extensive and profound writing culture!

The emperor smiled miserably. If he could, why would he deliberately sink... It's really a lack of mind, and he doesn't want to see anyone hiding in the palace recently. When I fell asleep, I always dreamed of when my second son was young, and when I woke up, I always remembered the tragic death of my second son. Every day and every night, I lost my soul... How can I swallow things and keep my body healthy?

"I...I'm really tired..."

"Report to the Emperor!! An old man appeared in the garden outside for some reason, calling himself the 'Old Man of Heaven'!" The **** who led the way just now said loudly outside the door, a little anxious.

It was just recently that there was trouble, and suddenly someone unknown came in. Of course, Cup Bow Snake Ying was flustered.

"Old Man of Heaven?!"

The emperor had the biggest reaction to this name today~www.readwn.com~ clenched his fists with both hands, pressed it on the table and kept shaking, unable to control his emotions. His face was full of grief and anger, and it was indescribably complicated.

"Emperor...Emperor, I'm going to ask him to leave!" Tiancuo was deeply afraid that the emperor's current physical condition would not be able to withstand the strong emotional fluctuations, so he quickly got up again.

"No, announce him to come in! No, ask him to come in!! I, will you still not believe what he said about my destiny!"
