Chapter 133
Chapter 133
Being an emperor is actually a high-risk job.
If one ascended the throne by rebelling, he would be in office for decades or even more than ten years, and he would have to worry about some forces trying to restore the throne. Even if one inherited the throne from his father safely, he would have to experience competition and oppression from his brothers. He would have to make extortions and control them from time to time, otherwise he might still be beheaded.
Beware of assassination when going out, beware of poisoning in the palace, the officials of the previous dynasty have all cultivated themselves into smart people, and there are a lot of loyal, treacherous, good and evil people. The queen and concubines in the harem...
There is no harem.
Min Liu has been emperor for such a long time, but he has no harem.
It was one person from beginning to end.
There is no need to guard against conflicts among brothers - those who have the chance to succeed to the throne are all dead; there is no need to worry about important ministers raising troops to establish their own regime - he was pushed to the throne by important ministers.
General Chang wished that the imperial court was like a tight iron barrel so that he could sit safely in the North City. He would be the first to get angry with anyone who was dissatisfied with the young emperor's rule.
Logically speaking, he should be very happy as an emperor.
But Ni Yangzhou knew that Xiao Liu was not happy as emperor.
The Jing Dynasty has been affected by droughts and floods for more than a decade. Even if the foreign threats that are most likely to cause turmoil are eliminated, it will be difficult for ordinary people across the country to live a good life.
Productivity cannot keep up, and one can work hard all year round but still earn nothing. In years of bad weather, people have to sacrifice their lives.
Ni Yangzhou is still as a soul, watching his youth busy for the operation of the entire country.
Min Liu built a golden statue for Liu Zikang and asked the officials in charge to collect a complete set of Taoist identities. The etiquette official was so worried that his hair turned white. In the end, he asked the Guanxing Temple. Qingyi, the acting abbot who replaced Cheng Wang, pondered for a long time and speculated according to Cheng Wang's preference for Min Liu: "He must be the messenger of the Wenqu constellation."
The real person likes those who study hard and study well. The emperor respects the real person, and he probably thinks this identity is good.
The etiquette officer happily ordered the painter back to make a sketch, and drew a model of a graceful figure with a full forehead and a square chin. Min Liu had seen it, but was not satisfied with the look, so he asked for it to be changed to a female shape.
The first goddess statue in charge of literature and examinations in Jing Dynasty was born.
No matter what title a princess or a high-ranking official is, all will eventually be exhausted from generation to generation, but the statues of gods can enjoy incense forever.
Ni Yangzhou originally just wanted Min Liu to use the emperor's privileges to provide Kang Kang with food and drink. Now, he didn't know whether this method was a good idea or if there was something wrong with it.
But there was no point in thinking about it. Ni Yangzhou couldn't show up and couldn't communicate. He could only watch from the air.
Liu Zikang had never sent him any message, and all the messages Ni Yangzhou sent himself fell on deaf ears.
When the metallographic structure is completed, 103 reminds:
[Another host is stripping away this world. ]
Ni Yangzhou looked at Min Liu who was reviewing memorials and nodded.
"Kang Kang's mission was successful."
[I can't see the mission information of other hosts, but according to this plot, it should be successful. ]
Ni Yangzhou himself understood. He and Kang Kang couldn't see each other, couldn't communicate, and couldn't say goodbye. On the night of the completion, when Min Liu finally went to bed late at night, Ni Yangzhou still went to the front of Jin Xiang for a walk.
The tall statue had gentle features and a name carved on the back. Although it might look completely different from Liu Zikang in the real world, Ni Yangzhou still felt a little comforted.
I hope she can have a smooth journey in the future.
The second twin prince Liu Zining has lived the life of a canary all his life. He has lived a stable life. It can be said that except for the lack of freedom, he has truly achieved Kang Kang's mission goals.
His love history was a bit complicated. At first, he insisted on making a eunuch his princess. Later, somehow, he got involved with a young Taoist priest in Yongsong Temple. After several years of struggle, he finally succumbed to pressure from the Empress Dowager's aunt and married the daughter of a minister.
The two had some conflicts in the past, but as they grew older, they became friends and even had a cute child.
Ni Yangzhou looked at the long-bearded Liu Zining and felt that the blind boy in his memory was like a turned page of a book, gone forever with the yellowed paper.
In theory, the main quest should have been completed: let the characters return to their positions, return to the original ending, and let the destined true dragon emperor - the second prince, ascend the throne smoothly.
Unlike what was said at the beginning, finding the true dragon emperor requires a certain percentage of support. After the main quest was changed, the quest should have ended when Min Liu ascended the throne.
But Ni Yangzhou was not pulled back to the pure white space.
When the countdown ended that day, he was immediately pulled out of the soldier's body. He felt his whole body lighten, and it was like he was excluded from the small world before exchanging the items in the mall. He was still a soul floating around, as if separated from reality by a layer of transparent bubble film.
103 didn't say much, just said that the mission was not over yet.
The mission has reached 99% progress, and Ni Yangzhou is afraid of the remaining 1%, so he wants to wait for Min Liu to become emperor until he dies of old age.
But on second thought, maybe it’s not such a bad thing to just watch his life like this.
Ni Yangzhou touched his non-beating heart and felt that he could wait.
This wait lasted for ten years.
Min Liu also persisted for ten years.
He didn't know what his brother meant by being a good emperor, nor did he know the criteria of the system mentioned by Liu Zikang. He was willing to give up everything to find his brother, even this boring life.
But he didn't dare to die.
He is the brother's mission.
The young man was also fascinated by Taoist magic for a period of time, but having seen his brother's real magic, he could see through those inferior tricks at a glance.
I also ran into a casual cultivator who was catching wild boars all over the mountains with a long sword in his hand. He was casual and unrestrained. When he saw Min Liu, he was not panicked. He bowed and was about to leave. Min Liu was moved and stopped him, asking him a question without any context:
"Will I still be able to see him?"
The casual cultivator clicked his tongue, put down his knife, took out the yarrow from his bosom, and counted for a long time, then said, "Whether it succeeds or not depends on you."
After saying this, he left, leaving the servants confused.
Before the figure disappeared into the mountains, the wandering cultivator turned back and added, "But every time, it's better to find him earlier."
Min Liu stopped his useless search.
He tried his best to be a good emperor.
He promoted virtuous and capable people to positions of power, expanded maritime transport, rose early and went to bed late, worked day and night, and did not dare to slack off even for a moment.
How long will I have to keep doing this? When will I be able to see my brother again?
So Min Liu came up with a good idea.
He worked even harder to govern the country and was so busy every day that he had no time to rest. The Jing Dynasty prospered and reached its peak in a few years.
Min Liu was like a tree whose spirit had been drained out, getting sicker and sicker year by year.
In the tenth year, he left an edict to arrange his funeral affairs.
He lay relaxedly on the familiar bed in the Stargazing Temple, curled up with a hairpin made by his brother on his head and a wooden kitten collected from his brother's room in his arms. With a smile on his lips, he gradually lost his heartbeat.

The next second, Min Liu woke up in a military tent.
