Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1315 1 Inch Lovesickness Continuation 4

Emperor Ai was not dead. Ten years ago, the Guze people captured the almost ten-year-old Emperor Ai and poisoned him.

The Emperor Ai who was captured from the very beginning was actually impersonated by Yan Zhi, the son of Marquis Jing'an. Therefore, the captured person was Yan Zhi, the son of Marquis Jing'an, and the poisoned person was also Yan Zhi, the son of Marquis Jing'an.

The Seven Heroes of Yundang, who were later slandered as "Seven Bandits of Yundang", originally received the mission to escort Emperor Ai back to Tiandu, but they were framed and became bandits. They are still being hunted by righteous people.

For example, the family of Shen Manqing, a top disciple of Zhengyang Palace, died in that incident. That's why Shen Manqing accepted Shanshui Ferry's deal and helped Zuo Qingci seize the Splendid Mountains and Rivers Map in exchange for the whereabouts of Shang Wan, one of the Seven Bandits of Yundang.

Even though Jiang Xinxin was good at fortune-telling and divination, she was still helpless about what happened more than ten years ago.

In fact, Emperor Ai himself is not important, but the jade seal in his hand is somewhat important. After all, it is strong evidence to prove the legitimacy of Emperor Xiaoming.

With the imperial seal, Emperor Xiaoming could win over one or two people in the court to counter Marquis Weining, who was holding great power and whose intention to usurp the throne was becoming increasingly obvious.

There were certainly people in the court who were loyal to Dajing, but Marquis Weining was becoming more and more powerful. Emperor Xiaoming, a puppet who was temporarily supported by the compromise of all parties, could only rely on his youth and strength. If nothing unexpected happened, he could get ahead of Marquis Weining and avoid completely disappointing the court officials.

Emperor Xiao Ming was not a fool. Although the situation was critical and he could not even guarantee his own safety, his image in the court was always to submit to the tyranny of Marquis Weining. However, in his heart, he had many little thoughts because he naturally desired power as he sat on the throne of the emperor.

Just for Emperor Xiaoming's shrewdness, Jiang Xinxin gave him a thumbs up.

This guy is an expert at manipulating the minds of court officials. They succumbed to the power of Marquis Weining because he himself came to power by illegitimate means and had no power to compete with the noble group headed by Marquis Weining, so he could only avoid the limelight for the time being.

The remaining little tricks were meant for the court officials who were also unwilling to go along with Marquis Weining, as well as those who remained neutral between the two parties.

These are the people he wants to win over.

It's a pity that Emperor Xiaoming is full of conspiracies and intrigues, and he doesn't even have the ability to form a strategy. He doesn't care about the people's livelihood at all, otherwise Jiang Xinxin felt that she would have given the jade seal in Emperor Ai's hands to Emperor Xiaoming long ago.

Now it seems that she should go and train Emperor Ai, who has shaved his head but has not yet become a monk.

As for Emperor Ai, he looked like a cowardly little mouse, like a frightened bird. He wished he could bury himself deep underground, preferably away from the sunlight, so that he could truly feel safe and at ease.

Jiang Xinxin's elusiveness only increased Emperor Ai's psychological burden, so Jiang Xinxin gritted her teeth, avoided the eyes and ears of Jinxu Zhenren of Zhengyang Palace, and built three thatched huts not far from where Emperor Ai became a monk.

Speaking of Zhenren Jinxu of Zhengyang Palace, Jiang Xinxin couldn't help but give a thumbs up to this old guy.

This guy is a rare foresighted person among the people in the martial arts world, and he even actively interacts with the imperial court. Otherwise, he would not have taken the risk to hide Emperor Ai on Tiandu Peak, the highest peak outside Tiandu City, and even planned to move the Zhengyang Palace to Tiandu Peak.

Jiang Xinxin showed up surprisingly (?). Emperor Ai, who was wearing a plain monk's robe and counting Buddhist beads, was horrified and sweating profusely, but he didn't dare to make a sound.

Jiang Xinxin knew that a kind smile would be useless at this moment, so she simply said with a straight face and expressionless face: "Do you want to entrust your entire life and property to that old guy Jin Xu?"

Hearing Jiang Xinxin's question, Emperor Ai calmed down and sat cross-legged again. Even though the old man who was responsible for his daily life had fallen into a deep sleep, he knew very well that the man would not wake up until dawn. He did not dare to raise his voice, but instead chanted a Buddhist name in a low voice and ignored Jiang Xinxin's arrival.

Jiang Xinxin doesn't have much time to waste, as Emperor Ai will be dead in one or two years.

"You don't need to ask who I am or whether I have anything to ask of you. Just know that I am here to teach you how to save yourself and how to save all living beings after you survive the catastrophe."

I don't know which words touched Emperor Ai. His hand, which was counting the Buddhist beads, stopped abruptly and tightened unconsciously, but then he resumed his previous action and still didn't say anything.

Jiang Xinxin walked up to Emperor Ai, squatted down and said, "Your doom is in the next one or two years. Now Emperor Xiaoming cannot control the government, and Marquis Weining is coming in full force. The struggle in the court has already threatened the survival of Dajing, and the people of the world are about to fall into dire straits."

Speaking of this, Jiang Xinxin couldn't help but sigh.

"Originally, I wanted to just take the imperial seal from you and give it to Emperor Xiaoming. But after careful observation for more than half a month, I found that Emperor Xiaoming did not have the appearance of a wise ruler. This may be related to the fact that he was hastily supported to the throne when he was young, but he was a puppet for more than ten years and had to worry about his life all day long."

"But the person who sits in that position is easily tempted. I am sure that Emperor Xiaoming cannot be saved. I can only start with you and try to rebuild the world."

Jiang Xinxin said so much, and it’s not like Emperor Ai really didn’t have any ideas at all.

First of all, he made sure that Jiang Xinxin had no ill will towards him;

Secondly, he reluctantly believed that Jiang Xinxin had the ability to rebuild the world, but he thought he was a piece of rotten wood that could not be carved, and he was afraid that he would only waste Jiang Xinxin's time;

In the end, even though his current life made him tremble with fear all day long, he was no longer willing to touch the throne or even the imperial power. After all, even though he had succeeded to the throne in front of the coffin, after experiencing the tragic deaths of so many innocent people, he could no longer afford anyone's kindness.

But Jiang Xinxin just fell in love with his kind nature!

She didn't even care whether Emperor Xiaoming was a kind emperor or not. She simply thought that Emperor Xiaoming had no bottom line, so she couldn't have any in-depth contact with him.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xinxin couldn't help but sigh again.

Emperor Ai felt very uncomfortable after hearing this, and finally said, "Please go back, benefactor. Since you can find this place and tell me this, it shows that you know my origin and past very well."

"In this case, the donor should also understand the choice I made today."

Jiang Xinxin unceremoniously pressed down on Emperor Ai's bald head, "Little bald head, you may not have understood what I meant. I have tried every possible way, but in the end I found that only this way can work. So do you understand what I mean?"

Emperor Ai couldn't help but flinch, but still mustered up the courage to refuse Jiang Xinxin: "Donor, perhaps you really have the means to rebuild the world, but the people of the world can no longer withstand any turmoil. From what you said, you are not the kind of person who wants to plunge the people of the world into dire straits for your own selfish desires—"

"Everything in this world has its own rules and regulations. Don't force it."
