Chapter 18 Flowers in the Darkness
"I have been pretending for so long that I really think I am an incompetent little emperor."
Su Yanzhi lowered his eyes and smiled, then looked back at Su Lieyang, "Uncle Huang, you have been holding great power for a long time. Do you really think that the military power and imperial power are yours?"
Su Lieyang leaned aside, looked at Su Yanzhi's relaxed inquiry, and raised his eyebrows, "If your Majesty wants military power, it is not a matter of just a word."
"Besides, aren't those people the soldiers your Majesty has trained since childhood? I'm afraid this power has never been in my hands."
Su Yanzhi began to train dead soldiers when he was seven years old. Nowadays, there are many people in power in the army, the Imperial Guards, who have not been trained by Su Yanzhi. I am afraid they have long been devoted to their masters.
Su Yanzhi looked at the rising sun and said, "Uncle Emperor, are you thinking of conquering the Southern Kingdom? You can use the army to conquer their country."
Su Lieyang lowered his eyes and did not comment on this sentence. From the beginning, he was the main fighter. Only Su Yanzhi wanted to ask for peace and wanted to act like a "puppet emperor".
It was extremely boring. But no one dared to disobey it, because Su Yanzhi went crazy, but no one recognized him. After all, he even killed his "mother".
"I just don't understand why Your Majesty asked them to send a proton."
It's a superfluous thing, but the end result is to annex the Southern Kingdom anyway.
Su Yanzhi smiled in a low voice, "The mountains in the southern country are peaceful, and the country is peaceful and the people are safe. I can crush their country, but I can't crush their hearts."
The territory of a country can be easily leveled, but the human heart needs to be defended. The demise of a country lies in the disintegration of the human heart.
When he first attacked the southern country, he discovered that the people of the southern country were actually very united. The southern country was rich, the country was peaceful and the people were safe, and no one wanted to protect the safety of the country.
Furthermore, the chaotic situation in their northern country made their plan to attack the southern country even more difficult.
At that time, the best choice is to sum.
The Northern Kingdom had the upper hand, and no matter what conditions it proposed, the Southern Kingdom would definitely agree. Perhaps because of long-term planning, he made the request to use the prince as a hostage.
"Your Royal Highness, but their beliefs, if they knew their beliefs, how would they feel if they were trampled under their feet as slaves."
If faith collapses in an instant, the hearts of the people will be scattered. If the hearts of the people are scattered, the Southern Kingdom will cease to exist.
"Your Majesty, don't overdo it."
Su Lieyang leaned against the wall and whispered something.
When Su Yanzhi heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly, "No, I know it well."
It has been really cold around me for too long, so I just want to touch the warmth around me, so that it can be a little interesting, otherwise life will be too boring.
After Su Yanzhi crushed the begonia, he splashed the petals on his hand on the ground, looked calmly and asked: "Uncle Emperor, yesterday I only wanted you to put some incense, why did you stay there?"
"this……"
I was shocked when I was asked, and I choked on my words for a moment. I coughed deeply and said nothing.
Su Yanzhi raised his eyes, raised his slender eyebrows, and cast shadows and gloom, "Why, the emperor... you want to touch him?"
"Just... just for fun, just for fun."
Su Liening smiled and raised his gaze to look at Su Yanzhi, only to find that the other person did not have any smile. Instead, he stopped smiling immediately as he stared at him with cold eyes.
"Have fun?"
Su Yanzhi frowned, obviously not very satisfied with this word.
Suddenly, Su Liening felt a flash before his eyes, and felt his neck being pinched. Then, his neck was pinched to the stone wall aside. Su Yanzhi's eyes showed a sinister light, "Uncle, you are disobedient.
It’s of no use to people like you.”
Su Yanzhi's voice was low. He pinched Su Liening's neck and lifted him up. "It's an eyesore to keep a useless person, right?"
The cold wind blew over and raised the hair in front of Su Yanzhi's eyes. There was no trace of easy-going light in his cold breath. When he squinted his eyes, the chill in his eyes was frightening.
Su Lieyang stood aside and watched his nephew go crazy. Speaking at this time would undoubtedly make things worse...
In Su Yanzhi's palace, Gu Jingxu brought some warm water and bathed himself. Sitting in the bathtub, he thought about what happened yesterday and felt more and more something was wrong.
There was a click, and the window was suddenly hit. Gu Jingxu raised his eyes and saw a black figure flashing in. Then he knelt down behind the curtain and said, "Your Highness, I did not protect you well, please forgive me."
Gu Jingxu sank into the bathtub. The injuries on his body made him a little uncomfortable, but at least he could bear it. "It's okay. How is the matter you asked to investigate?"
"Back to Your Highness, I found out that the mother of Su Yanzhi, the king of the Northern Kingdom, had indeed served thirty-three relatives of the Northern Kingdom's royal family."
The kneeling man reported the truth truthfully. This also made Gu Jingxu frown, "So, what he said...is it true?"
For some reason, he felt that Su Yanzhi was not as sunny as he seemed.
How can flowers born in darkness turn their hearts to the sun? They will only adapt to the darkness, blend in with it, and even become the masters of darkness.
"Then how did Su Yanzhi's mother die?"
"Your Majesty, it's because of the fire. But there are also rumors that Su Yanzhi set the fire."
Gu Jingxu raised his calm eyes, glanced back, and looked at the curtain behind him, "Motherkiller? Did he kill his mother himself?"
"Back to Your Highness, yes, not only that, but several princes from the Northern Kingdom also died in the fire."
Were they killed together?
Gu Jingxu's eyes were downcast. How could such a ruthless person allow himself to be controlled by others? Or controlled by those uncles who had defiled his mother...
No matter how I thought about it, I felt something was wrong.
Gu Jingxu lowered his eyebrows and was silent for a long time. Then he raised his hand and waved, "Well, I understand, step back. Don't let them find you."
"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
With a kneel in awe, the man in black disappeared from the room instantly.
After the person disappeared, Gu Jingxu leaned his head on the edge of the bathtub, looking up at a certain spot on the wall in a daze, "If you are just pretending, what is your purpose?"
He raised his hand and looked at the marks on his body, feeling a little puzzled, "Is it possible that you want to do something in bed with me?"
"The monarch of the Northern Kingdom should not be so boring."
Pretending to be so pitiful, just to have a loving relationship with him? Gu Jingxu poured some water, wiped the wounds on his body, and wiped his lips, with a cold and indifferent expression, "Don't you think that you can control it after being lingering?
I’m the prince now.”
"That would be really stupid."
She is not a chaste girl. Although she has some grudges after being tortured by Su Yanzhi all night, she is not determined to give up.
He got up, picked up his clothes, put them on, walked to the bed, and lay down, his damp hair still dripping with water, he closed his eyes, his lips were red, "You want to play, right? Okay, then
Just play with you."
"This way, you won't be staring at your brother..."
