Chapter 992 Extra Episode 2: Emperor Di Douyin
"Your Majesty save me, Your Majesty save me!"
"Rebel!!! I am the emperor! I want to kill you! I want to kill you!!"
"Hate me, at least I won't hurt you... Your Majesty, study literature and practice martial arts well, I'll wait for the day when you have the ability to kill me."
"You must look at it with your eyes wide open, and you must look at it with your eyes wide open, and see what is true and what is false, who is loyal and who is traitor!"
“…”
In the warm pavilion of the palace, Emperor Di Douyin was frightened by the mixed voices in his dream and opened his eyes suddenly.
He had just passed his 21st birthday and was drunk the night before.
When I opened my eyes, the sounds of memories in my dreams seemed to be still lingering in my ears.
He covered his forehead with his palm, got up from the bed, and found a teacup on the side of the desk and drank some water.
The open collar of his body exposed his strong chest, and his walking movements were shaking left and right. He looked quite unruly, as if he was deliberately against someone, and he did not look solemn as the emperor at all.
The little eunuch outside the warm room heard the sound and stood outside the door and asked carefully:
"Your Majesty, are you awake? You have missed the morning court..."
Di Douyin paused for a moment in drinking water, and then said angrily:
"If you make mistakes, you will be wrong. If you don't have any morning court, you won't be the same? Is it interesting to have to mention this?!"
The eunuch outside quickly responded:
"I'm wrong, then...afterward..."
He didn't say anything else in the future, and he didn't dare to say anything. This was not something he could do, so he turned his mind in a pitiful tone:
"But... But... the Queen Mother's decree issued by the Queen Mother, who asked me to ask you to go to court, but I just couldn't wake you up. The Queen Mother said that when the court was dispersed, I asked you to go to Fushou Palace, and she had something to say."
Di Douyin heard his eyes and eyelashes trembled, as if he was trapped in some kind of memory. After a while, he sneered and murmured to himself:
"What are you saying... I'm tired of hearing it."
After a while, the little eunuch said:
"Your Majesty... General Hrank asked for a visit."
Di Douyin carried the teapot and swayed on the bed again, saying casually:
"Let him in."
Helank was one of his companions who studied with him and was the nephew of the southern adult Helan Youguang. At that time, Helan Youguang was the least guilty, so he was not confiscated, but his home was demoted, and Helank was not implicated.
After he came in, he saluted Di Douyin, looked up at him as if he had just woken up, then quickly lowered his head and said:
"Your Majesty... If your appearance is heard by Empress Dowager Feng, we companions will be punished again. Why not go to court? If you don't go to court, wouldn't you give up your power to those Han people?"
When I heard this, Douyin leaned on the couch and bent his legs and said sarcastically:
"What? You have become the eyeliner of Queen Mother Feng? Don't you say anyone knows?"
Hrank lowered his head and said nothing.
Over the years, as long as Di Douyin makes mistakes, it has become a habit for them to be punished instead. He himself did not realize that he sometimes acted as the eyewitness of Empress Dowager Feng and influenced the emperor's behavior.
"What's the matter for me?" Di Douyin asked angrily.
Herank then said:
"Your Majesty, Changzhe has returned to the army. The British Duke's wife is seriously ill. The British Duke Shi Yuhengjia and him have left. Now Shen Liuzhen and Xie Yuan are in Liu County. Since His Majesty won the battle and returned to the court, many Han ministers have also supported Your Majesty in power. Now it is a good time to take action. As long as you have a sensation, no one will be pressed on Your Majesty's head in the future."
Di Douyin laughed, and his deep eyes were filled with desolation and helplessness, and he said:
"What did you say?... I have been in power for a long time. The Empress Dowager just assisted the court like the late emperor. It's not that she was pressing on me, but that I was too lazy to manage the government. Is it not that someone was working for me? Why did I have to beside her?!"
When Herank heard this, he was shocked and raised his head and said:
"Your Majesty?! Are you kidding or to be honest?...How can you make such a joke? We have worked hard for many years, and now we have finally waited for the opportunity! Your Majesty! Have you forgotten how your nanny died?"
Di Douyin's sneering expression gradually subsided, and his eyebrows, which were very similar to Wu Lei, were filled with sadness and pain.
Just when Hrank thought his reminder had worked, Di Douyin suddenly asked coldly:
"Do you really care about her?"
"…what?" Hrank did not react.
Di Douyin's eyes seemed to be covered with frost, and he asked again:
"Do you really care about her death?"
Herank's eyes shook for a moment, and he opened his mouth and said three words: "Of course..." He was interrupted by Di Douyin, and he said angrily:
"You don't care! You just care whether you can get promoted or make money! No one in this palace cares about me, how could anyone care about a slave who has nothing to do!"
Hrank's pupils were shaking in shock, as if he was about to cry, and said:
"Your Majesty! You are wrongly accusing the death ministers! We are at the risk of our lives against Empress Dowager Bao and against Shen Xie and the other two. How cold is your heart to say this!"
Di Douyin sneered twice, threw the teapot in his hand on the ground, and said angrily:
"Fuck! If I weren't the emperor, would you do this for me?! To put it nicely, for me, or for yourself?!
There are only two types of people in this world. One is to hope to gain glory and wealth, and the other is to hope to be a diligent monarch to serve the Wei Kingdom through hard work and death. After all, I am a tool in your eyes! Who of you really cares about me?!"
The fragments of the teapot cut through the back of Herank's hand. He looked at Di Douyin trembling and said in panic:
"I...I'm leaving."
After saying that, he just ran away and quit.
Di Douyin looked at his back as if he was running away, and took a few breaths of violence. Suddenly, he felt very cold. He quickly closed his open bed clothes and hugged himself with both hands.
...
In front of the gate of the Fushou Palace.
Di Douyin has been dressed neatly, and there is nothing wrong with it from head to toe. The bright yellow dragon robe is very suitable for his young and strong figure, and he looks majestic and solemn.
Before entering the door, he subconsciously looked at his clothes and didn't even let go of his boots. But after seeing them, he felt extremely frustrated, and then deliberately raised his foot and kicked the threshold, before slowly stepping in.
Empress Dowager Feng was already in her forties at this time, but in addition to being a little fat and having a simple and solemn hairstyle, she still had long, smoky eyebrows and eyes, with a gentle and mysterious beauty.
When she was almost idle, she looked through memorials one by one. It was not until Di Douyin stood in front of her that she raised her eyes.
The moment she raised her eyes, she looked at Di Dou Yin, who was very similar to Wu Lei. She shook her mind for a moment, and her eyes unconsciously showed nostalgia and deep affection.
But soon, she curled her face, lowered her slender eyebrows and said:
"I heard that His Majesty was greedy for fine wine yesterday and could not wake up even in the morning."
Du Yin raised his face, looked arrogant and arrogant, and said proudly:
"yes."
Feng Boyang raised his eyes and looked at him, saying:
"Your Majesty is already twenty-one this year. He is a father, so why is he still angry? When will you come here with your rebellious nature?"
When Di Douyin heard this, he deliberately shook his body and walked to her side and sat down. Under the staring of the Queen Mother Feng Boyang, he flipped through the memorial at random, and suddenly said sarcastically:
"Are these memorials so good? Mother, I've been angry because I've never been happy? Do you know what others say to me?...If you say I'm a puppet in your hands, you might as well give up your rights completely and have a safe life?"
When Feng Boyang heard this, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes suddenly became alert. She looked at Di Douyin's side face and said:
"...If Your Majesty does it well, I will naturally be happy to be idle. But if Your Majesty wants to favor the Xianbei nobles and destroy the operations of the late emperor and me for so many years, then I will never agree, unless I die."
She said it very resolutely and cursed almost gritting her teeth.
Di Douyin's hand flipped through the memorial stopped, his eyes flashed, as if he was thinking and hesitating. After a while, he moved again and said sarcastically:
"I really don't understand what it is to be an emperor. There is no one around me who can really stand in line with each other. I have to get up early and go to bed late to deal with government affairs, and I have to work hard to deal with the court officials.
From walking, sitting, lying down to talking and eating, there is no place that is free.
It is said that the emperor is the supreme emperor in the world and enjoys supreme glory. But no matter how rich and elegant the food is, wouldn’t he eat just a little or a few pieces of clothing? I am tired and hard to eat and wear so much, and I will have life worries if I accidentally have it. What am I going to do?”
Empress Dowager Feng Boyang frowned and looked at Di Douyin and said:
"What is Your Majesty talking about? As the king of a country, you should have a lofty goal and be in the world, and you should have food and clothing. You might as well keep taking revenge on your lips. I feel more comfortable, at least you should practice literature and martial arts and be diligent and motivated.
Since his Majesty returned from the war, he felt that he could take revenge with great power, so he became more and more dissatisfied?!"
Di Douyin was not touched at all, turned his head and said to her:
"Let the prince be the emperor. I am the emperor. Anyway, the court has the mother's food, so it's no different who will be the emperor."
"Your Majesty!!!" Feng Boyang was so angry that he opened his eyes wide and stared at him, but he could no longer speak.
"Just do it." Di Douyin said and got up directly.
When he arrived outside the palace gate, he turned his head and looked inside the door, and his eyebrows were covered with a layer of sorrow.
He was wrong in the past.
In order to deal with Shen Liuzhen and Xie Yuan for so many years, he has been determined to win over hostile forces and has brought almost all the Xianbei nobles who opposed the Han people's power to his own command.
He once imagined that Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen would be killed by the sword, but before he could do it, the two men really abandoned everything and ran to the remote Liu County of Bojun to become county magistrates and generals who were unemployed in the army.
They really did not do it for power and wealth, but for the Wei Kingdom.
At that moment, Di Douyin was indescribably sad. It seemed that all these years of hard work had become a joke. He cried all night secretly.
But he was already wrong, and the power that depended on him could not suddenly disperse, and he would have to push him to the position he had planned. At that time, there would inevitably be a major change in the court.
Di Douyin withdrew his gaze and murmured with his head down:
"Hmph, I am not as great as my father and the others, so I will do the last thing for Wei."
