Chapter 1103 Love is colder than blood

Li Chu was stunned at first, and then became angry from shame.

"How can you speak? Can you speak? You are incompetent, and your whole family is incompetent! I'm in great health. It's okay to sleep all over the world to create a nation, but no one will sleep with you. Bah. !”

Nalan Mingyue was stunned, but then she understood what Li Chuyi said, and she smiled so sweetly that she burst into tears.

"You...you are too dirty, I...hahaha, I didn't mean that, just think about who you can blame!"

Li Chuyi was speechless, knowing that he had thought wrongly, and felt a little embarrassed.

In fact, he was quite aggrieved, and secretly felt that this was not his fault. It was Li Sinian who usually dragged him into talking about naughty things, and it became a habit to talk too much. As soon as he heard this, his mind immediately wandered to other places, secretly wondering if there was something in his words.

Feeling that the balls on the top of his head were trembling, Li Chuyi was furious. Chuan Yin went over and scolded Xiao Erhei a few times, strictly ordering him not to leak what happened today, otherwise he would chop it into pieces and stew it into broth.

With Xiao Erhei's repeated assurances, the little fat man looked helplessly at the trembling Nalan Mingyue.

"Have you laughed enough? Be careful of laughing and suffocating yourself to death!"

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

"..."

"If you laugh again, I'll let the dog out!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"I'm so relieved!"

"Oh hehehe, my stomach hurts..."

"...Heizi, give it to me..."

"Stop! I'm not laughing!"

Seeing that Li Chuyi was really angry, Nalan Mingyue quickly stopped.

Only now did she realize that although the fat man had a bad temper and a bad mouth, he was really an interesting person, completely different from the other bumbling nobles in the imperial capital.

Suppressing a smile, Nalan Mingyue sat up and held her stomach. You can see that the little fat man's bulging face suddenly made a sound. It was not until the little fat man's eyes widened that he hurriedly waved for mercy.

"Stop making trouble, to be serious, I really don't mean that. You and I are just overthinking King Zhenxi. I admire King Zhenxi very much, but I don't like him at all, so you don't need to try your best. Try to persuade me, because I don’t mean what you think!”

"Then why are you so close to him?"

The little fat man's face was full of suspicion.

"I heard from your father that you wish you could live in Zhenxi Prince's Mansion. Don't you like that old white-faced guy and you can be so attentive?"

Rolling his eyes, Nalan Mingyue said: "Of course I have my reasons, but I can't tell you. Anyway, it's not what you think. And can you not be 'old white face'?" Yelling nonsense, King Zhenxi is your elder after all. Even if he doesn’t care if someone hears you later, others will have opinions on you!”

"If you have an opinion, you have an opinion. Will I be afraid of them?"

After scoffing, Li Chuyi frowned and said, "Also, don't talk to me about elders. He is nothing like an elder. If I call him 'uncle', will he dare to agree?"

Nalan Mingyue had a headache. She had heard that Li Chuyi had some conflicts with King Zhenxi, but she didn't expect that the grievances were so deep.

Seeing Li Chu's unconcerned look, she didn't bother to try to persuade him. After thinking about it, she said, "Anyway, just pay attention to your own discretion. Although Grandpa Mu and Emperor Yanling are protecting you, it's easy to dodge hidden arrows. You'd better be careful yourself. Also, don't blame me for not reminding you. In addition to the young ladies and young masters from several families, the Ninth Prince, Thirteenth Prince and the Little Princess will also be present. I guess they may cause trouble for you. , you have an idea in mind and think about how to deal with it.”

"The prince and princess are here too? Didn't your father tell me? And what's going on with the thirteenth prince? Isn't Yuwen Xuanli dead?" The little fat man was stunned.

"Yuwen Xuanli is dead, but the fourteenth prince Yuwen Xuanshu is still there. After him, there will be one more, and he will naturally become the current thirteenth prince!"

"Fuck the Taoist priests, Dayan's rules are so awkward." The little fat man shook his head speechlessly, "These princes are the same. They have no brains in fighting over each other. If you ask me to just kill all the people in front of me, I will just kill them all." If there is only one left, won’t he automatically become the prince? Stupid!”

Nalan Mingyue sneered: "You think you are the only one who is smart and others can't think of it? There are rules in Dayan's battle for the throne, and fratricide is strictly prohibited. You can kill everyone around the other person and leave him alone, but You must not touch the other person's hair, otherwise it will be murder of a fellow member, and you will be sentenced to a felony, and you will even be deprived of your royal status. Besides, whoever becomes the prince or daughter is a good person, do you think you want to kill them. You can kill them? What's more, the battle for the throne has a quota limit. At least ten people must be included. If there are not enough, you will be selected from the Yuwen royal family. That is to say, unless you can make the Yuwen royal family qualified to compete for the throne. Kill them all, otherwise you will have to fight with others according to the rules, and if the matter is exposed, you will be thrown into jail, and you may even lose your life. "

Curling his lips, the little fat man said: "Isn't this just like raising Gu!"

"That's right, it's raising Gu!"

Nalan Mingyue nodded.

"The throne of Dayan is related to the people's livelihood and society of the entire Dayan. It is related to the future of Dayan and even the future of the entire human world. How can we allow sloppiness? The emperor must choose the best from the best, and the strongest will be left alone. But descendants Talents are easy to come by and hard to come by. Which one of those who are awarded the qualification is not a talented person? Therefore, their lives are precious and cannot be squandered. However, no matter how good the raw jade is, it cannot become a beautiful jade without polishing. In order to ensure the continuation of the imperial line. , the ancestral emperor could only adopt this method, and set the minimum guarantee rule of 'no fratricide', and then let all the successors compete like insects, until one person stands out and dominates the rest, then He is the perfect candidate for the crown prince."

"Then what are they competing against?" the little fat man asked curiously.

"a lot of."

After a pause, Nalan Mingyue explained: "From cultivation to political policies, to life, to playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, there is no one who can show his talent. But in the final analysis, it still depends on cultivation. The level of cultivation is the main basis for the ranking of princes, and other means are auxiliary. If there is someone who is transcendent, he can also advance accordingly, but if he is not strong enough, he will still be brushed down. "

Nodding, Li Chuyi secretly thought that this is what he looks like.

A country of monks must naturally look like monks. Any political policy, chess, calligraphy, and painting are bullshit. High enough cultivation is the last word.

It does not mean that the king of a country must be the best in the world, but that only one who has high cultivation can live longer. Generally speaking, a monk's longevity is directly proportional to his cultivation level. The higher his cultivation level, the longer he will live. For a large dynasty like Dayan, the durability and stability of the imperial power are the most important. Frequent changes in the throne are not conducive to the stability of the country, and also have a great impact on the stability of imperial power.

No matter how talented a person is, his cultivation is not enough, and his life is less than 180 years excluding competition. Obviously, such a person cannot be entrusted with the throne.

Therefore, among these people, Li Chuyi doesn't think that any of them have a chance to become Emperor Yanling, because Emperor Yanling has not shown signs of decline yet, and no one knows his cultivation level or his longevity. There are still many years left, but at present, it seems that another three to five hundred years should be no problem. If you maintain good health, it is not impossible to grow even longer.

In other words, the youngest of these people now will probably live more than half of their lifespan by then. This is based on the fact that they can cultivate to the ascension stage. If they don't ascend and can only survive the tribulation, then their lifespan of less than a thousand years will make them already very old by the time Emperor Yan dies.

Prince?

Forget it, Grandpa is pretty much the same.

After clearing up the worries, Li Chuyi asked: "There have been rumors outside that Emperor Yanling is interested in choosing the throne. According to this, he and the princes and princesses should be enemies. Why are these people still trying to get around him?"

"Do you think that everyone has the same explosive temper as you, and if you are an enemy, you have to break up and never have any contact with each other?"

After flattering the little fat man first, Nalan Mingyue continued: "Besides, there have always been rumors that King Zhenxi is interested in the throne. He himself has never expressed his position. The current rumors are all caused by the prince faction. Not to mention Whether this matter is true or not, based on the ability and prestige of King Zhenxi, other princes and princesses do not dare to show hostility even if they do not like him. On the contrary, they must express their goodwill appropriately and take the initiative to get close to him, so as not to completely destroy themselves. On the opposite side of the Prince Faction. From another perspective, if the rumors are true and are all imagined by the Prince Faction, then the favor of King Zhenxi will be very important."

"You should know that princes and princesses are not allowed to interfere with the military, and the King of Zhenxi is supported by some people from the military. Even the initial skeleton of the Prince's faction was built by those who were close to him in the military. So he can get His support is equivalent to the support of the Dayan Military Department. With the support of the Military Department, it is naturally more likely to stand out. Furthermore, King Zhenxi is the younger brother of the current Holy Emperor, and he is also one of the few. One of the princes who has been entrusted with important responsibilities. Apart from Jian Huangfu who is not interested in world affairs, his words are the most effective and can be listened to by Emperor Yanling the most. He can speak in the emperor's ear. Does the prince who has his support have a greater chance of being crowned crown prince?"

"Sword Emperor's Mansion? Is it the Sword Emperor's Mansion that is one of the four major kendo holy places along with the Mangshan Sword Sect in Mobei, the Divine Sword Peak of Taixu Palace, and the Nanming Sword Sect in the Far South Sea?"

Not mentioning Nalan Mingyue, Li Chuyi almost forgot about Jianhuang Palace. The last time I heard about it was when I was learning swordsmanship from Ye Zhichen. Ye Zhichen told him that the "Ba Cang Sword Master" of the Dayan Sword Palace had his own style of swordsmanship and was dominating the sword together with the master of Taixu Palace, Lu Heng. Both the Heba Sword and the Overlord Sword follow a fierce approach to the end, with very few soft and flexible moves. Ninety-nine percent of the time, they are domineering and fierce attacks that can defeat ten levels with one force.

The Ba Cang Sword Master is also one of the only four swordsmen in the world who are given the honorific title of "Sword Master". Not talking about his cultivation level but in terms of swordsmanship, he is different from Ye Zhichen, the "Ruthless Sword Master" and Mang Mang. The "Yunlan Sword Master" of the Shan Sword Sect is as famous as the "Nanming Sword Master" of this generation of the Nanming Sword Sect.

The difference is that the other three are all leading the way, but Ba Cang Sword Master and his Sword Palace are somewhat unknown under the aura of the Dayan Dynasty. Li Chuyi has not even heard anyone mention him in the past few days since he has been in the city. I have never heard anyone mention where the Sword Emperor's Mansion is located in the imperial capital.

"It's not surprising." Nalan Mingyue explained, "Because the Sword Emperor's Palace only has a small Kongwang Palace in the imperial capital. The real Sword Emperor's Palace is actually located in a remote mountain range in the east of Dayan, with almost no human habitation around it. It’s extremely difficult for someone who doesn’t know where to find him. And King Rong is extremely low-key and rarely interacts with people, so everyone in Dayan knows about him, but rarely mentions him when chatting.”

"A show of loyalty?"

Li Chuyi hit the nail on the head, and Nalan Mingyue nodded without hesitation.

The corner of his mouth curled up and the little fat man was about to speak. Nalan Mingyue had already guessed what he was going to say and spoke first: "Don't think about it. King Rong is not a coward. He is called aware of current affairs. To be honest, Dayan is like this He is the smartest among the many princes, even smarter than King Zhenxi. "

Seeing that Li Chuyi didn't believe it, Nalan Mingyue whispered: "Do you know how many princes in Dayan hold real power?"

The little fat man shook his head.

"Five!"

Holding out five fingers, Nalan Mingyue said: "Including the newly promoted King Zhenxi, there are a total of five noble princes! And among these five powerful princes, except King Zhenxi, King Molan, King Huaiyong The king and the king of Dingbei were both promoted from the Yuwen royal family after Emperor Yanling ascended the throne. The original king Quan and the princes and princesses who competed with him for the throne had to retreat. They were either convicted or stripped of their thrones. They died violently, and the rest took the initiative to retire and return their rights. King Rong is the only veteran power king who has survived to this day, and he is also the only clan uncle of Emperor Yanling who needs to be taken seriously. They either retired or were killed by Emperor Yanling, which is why the imperial power of this generation of Emperor Yanling was so concentrated. King Rong was also very smart and never showed any interest in the throne, even during Emperor Yanling's purge. He also contributed a lot when he was a member of the royal family. Afterwards, he retired to the mountains and didn't care about worldly affairs, and his life was even simpler than that of the Mu family. "

"Oh no, it's so cruel!"

Li Chuyi was secretly speechless. He didn't know whether the word ruthless was referring to Emperor Yanling or King Rong.

Thinking about it, how can Ba ​​Jian, who is as famous as Lu Heng, be a good opponent? The words "Ba Cang Sword Master" are enough to explain everything. Not to mention Emperor Yanling, he could even kill his own son. Li Chuyi already knew his cold-bloodedness and indifference.

Coupled with the King of Zhenxi, Yuwen Taihao, Li Chuyi felt that none of the Yuwen clan was good, they were all cold-blooded monsters who didn't understand what love was, and the only exception was himself.

But after thinking about it carefully, the little fat man found that he seemed to be quite cold-blooded most of the time, and he was very kind to his own people. He was more cruel and decisive to strangers, especially enemies, than anyone else, and he didn't have any psychological burden at all. , and suddenly felt sick to death.

Yes, the bloodline is not good, no wonder I!

Anyway, I won’t kill my own people, especially my own children. Even if I die, I won’t be like Yuwen Tailuo!

Thinking of this, his mood suddenly improved a lot.

Deep down, he felt that he was very human, completely different from the animals of the Yuwen family.
