Chapter 903
Golden glazed tiles, that could only be the imperial palace—if it wasn't the imperial palace, then the owner of this palace should play "Nine Clans Elimination." Bai Lang looked at the clothes on his body; silk and satin were definitely the clothes of a rich young master. "Damn, not knowing the name is not very good." This kind of "heroic ghost" possessed him, and it was a joke that the original owner of this body could keep his memory.
The brain gyri and brain cells were all washed into the shape of Bai Lang, so there was a ghost of memory.
So Bai Lang didn't know what the original owner of this body was called, what his identity was, and the damn thing was that since the brain cells were washed, why didn't the damn body come to wash it? The result was still this kind of shitty rotten body and rotten roots, which made the martial arts master Bai Lang have to worry.
Bai Lang stood up. "Don't discuss it today. Let's eat and drink enough to understand the situation first. Martial arts practice is never too late for my family." After thinking about this, he walked to the moon gate and pushed it open. Behind the door stood a person—a little eunuch...
As a man who had been an emperor several times, Bai Lang naturally recognized at a glance that the young man in front of him was a eunuch, and looking at the clothing, he was still a eunuch who could be called a eunuch. And there was a girl beside him. Looking at the clothing, she must be a palace maid—the reason for this judgment was still because of the eunuch. Who would dare to use eunuch clothes with clothing grades to serve? Probably wanting to play "Nine Clans Elimination"?
"Fifth Master." The eunuch stepped forward, bent down and said to Bai Lang, "Alright, damn, it's trouble again." Bai Lang secretly cursed. He naturally knew what this meant. In the court rules of the Tartars, it meant that the owner of this body was the fifth prince. Looking at the location, he knew that he hadn't reached adulthood to go to the fief—if this court had a feudal king...
Local feudal kings were the Ming Dynasty. Changing to the Tartars, they were all in the Capital, and looking at the clothing and hair, this court was probably a Ming Dynasty? Or at least a Central Plains dynasty. Bai Lang nodded and walked into the room along the path on the ground—the place where he was should be a place similar to a courtyard, mostly the Ten Kings Mansion where underage princes lived...
The eunuch and the palace maid followed behind him. Bai Lang walked into the house and went straight to the study—these buildings all had rules, and Bai Lang knew what was done there even with his eyes closed. The eunuch stood outside the door to listen to orders. Bai Lang let him stand. "You stand here, you don't need to come in unless I call you." The eunuch just moved his eyebrows slightly and immediately bowed to listen.
Bai Lang began to flip through the books, documents, and letters inside. He just wanted to figure out the situation. After searching the letters for half an hour, Bai Lang figured out the situation—it turned out that this court was called the Wu Dynasty, the national surname was Wang, and the current emperor, Zheng Tong Emperor Wang Xiaoyan, had been on the throne for fifty years. And the owner of this body was called Wang Yourong—it was to avoid the double-character taboo...
This emperor could also be considered prosperous. He ascended the throne in his youth and reorganized the world, cultivated politics internally and pacified enemies externally, and created a situation of so-called Orthodox Revival. "Who is this? Manchu Qing? Look at this political structure, it is really a combination of Ming and Manchu Qing—but Manchu Qing actually practiced Ming law."
This emperor had more than twenty sons. Ten years ago, several sons rebelled and were finally given death—this was why his thirteen-year-old body could be called Fifth Master, the fifth prince. And the current Crown Prince was only in his early twenties, precisely because those thirty or forty-year-old princes had been given death and removed from the Zongren Mansion.
"It's the world again, there is no such thing as a Crown Prince for decades, and all kinds of seizing the throne... The problem is that even the palace gate guard team can't be mastered, so what's the point of seizing the throne." Bai Lang, this Wang Yourong, cursed—because in the letters, he vaguely saw the signs of seizing the throne again. It was mainly these new princes born to the new harem.
The old harem and the old princes were mostly given death, and these new people started again—now there were nine princes who were considered to have the possibility of ascending the throne, and the Wu Dynasty had never been a complete succession system of the eldest son, but a secret storage system of the emperor. This point was completely different from the folk inheritance law, which was a special case of the heavenly family.
Because looking at the national history, one would find that the previous generations also had the matter of seizing the throne, and the current emperor did not ascend the throne as the eldest son. So this time, he simply established the secret storage system, but the result was still bloody—who let him be on the throne for too long.
The noble titles of this dynasty were also reduced in rank, and only the Four Kings and Four Dukes were iron titles that were hereditary and permanent—among them, three were foreign-surnamed kings, but now they had all declined. They were almost all mascots. Except for one of the Four Dukes who had a real position, the others didn't hold power. Except for these four, there were quite a few nobles who were not hereditary and permanent, all of whom were military nobles of this dynasty, and they were very powerful.
These years, it was the emperor fighting with the nobles and civil officials. The reason why he couldn't copy the family and destroy the clan with one order was entirely because the upper limit of power in this world was not low... Bai Lang naturally saw the records in the study. Cultivating Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism could all cultivate different spiritual powers, and naturally, practicing martial arts could also cultivate a skill.
Experts could tear the sky and crack the earth. In a world where great power belonged to oneself, how could it be so easy for the emperor to copy the family and destroy the clan? Not to mention that almost every one of those military nobles could be called an expert? As far as Bai Lang could see, these were all experts above the innate or directly reached the inner scene. As for how high the current emperor's martial arts were? This was a mystery.
It was just that innate experts lived for two hundred years, and inner scene experts had a lifespan of a thousand years. This was why the court couldn't kill people at will—as for why those experts didn't subvert the dynasty, wasn't there the protection of the dynasty's dragon Qi? And the three families of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism also supported the dragon court to obtain certain feedback to practice—among them, Confucianism relied most on the family and country, Buddhism relied more on the incense and offerings of the common people in the mundane world, and Taoism was the most detached, and relied the least on the court.
The Heavenly Master line relied on the court, and there were many hidden veins in Taoism, free and easy to seek my own way. After figuring out all this, Bai Lang also had a grasp of his own situation. "It turns out to be seizing the throne again, but now the nine dragons are still young, mainly the mother family and cultivation forces behind the nine dragons are exerting force to compete..."
He, this fifth prince, was also listed among the nine dragons—it was just that he was considered the weaker one among them. Who let him fail in practicing martial arts and Taoism? But this was the best emperor candidate for all families and cultivation forces... Therefore, he could still be listed among them. As for his mother family? Xianfei had two sons, the fifth son and the eighth son, but Xianfei herself had passed away, and the two princes were raised by two imperial concubines.
And he, this fifth prince, was raised by Jingfei who had no sons, while the eighth prince was raised as a son by Zhenguifei who had the third prince... ===== CHAPTER 904 =====
