Chapter 2 The system is dumb

"Hey, what and what system, are you talking?" After waiting for a long time, there was no sound, and Li finally couldn't help but ask.

No response.

As the memory of this body gradually merged, Li cried, and tears streaked down his cheeks.

If you don’t play like this, it’s not a good idea to travel through time and become the last emperor Li.

Who doesn't know that the end of the Tang Dynasty is already a dead end, and no matter how powerful you are, you can't make a comeback.

Now the late Tang Dynasty is rotten to the core. The feudal towns are separated, and the prefectures and counties have no governors. The grassroots organizations have been completely replaced by warlords. The central government's jurisdiction over local areas has been completely paralyzed. Local affairs are mostly handled by these separate feudal towns.

The terrible thing is that he has become a puppet, and the person lying in the coffin is his father Tang Zhaozong Li Ye. He was killed by Zhu Wen's men with a click of a knife, and it won't be long before he will give up his throne to Zhu Wen.

Then he was taken away by a glass of poisonous wine. At least he brought a system with him, but who knew that the system became mute after only speaking a few words.

"Your Highness is so sad that he wept in front of the coffin, which shows your kindness and filial piety. Please express your condolences and inherit the throne today." A general came over and said coldly.

Li recognized him, Jiang Xuanhui, who was one of the executioners who killed his father.

The speaker was Zhu Wen's general and privy envoy Jiang Xuanhui. It was he and Shi Taichuang who killed his own father, Zhaozong Li Ye, in the coffin.

"Your Highness, I would like to express my condolences. The late emperor fell seriously ill and died. He left a legacy and made your Highness the king." After speaking, Jiang Xuanhui took out an imperial edict from his arms:

"The family is the foundation of the world... The ninth prince, Li, is a generous man and is the choice of the country. From now on, he will succeed the emperor and serve as senior ministers. He will serve as a concubine at home and abroad. He will respect the emperor and protect the Ning family. The announcement has spread far and wide, and the envoy Xian is aware of it.

.”

After Jiang Xuanhui read the imperial edict, he winked to the left and right. The guards around him knelt down to welcome Li to the throne: "Long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty!"

Li Xiangsi, what kind of emperor is this? He is just a puppet, powerless and, to put it harshly, someone is watching him even when he poops.

Everyone knew that this edict was false, but that Jiang Xuanhui ordered him to succeed according to Zhu Wen's wishes.

Li understood that Zhu Wen chose to be the emperor because he was younger and easier to control.

In fact, Zhu Wen's world inside and outside the court has long been ruled by Zhu Wen. Except for the vassal princes from various places and a few veterans in the court who can still make Zhu Wen a little afraid, he can now do whatever he wants.

Li really had no good way to avoid the fate of being poisoned three years later. He thought about all the puppet emperors who had counterattacked in history, but found that there was none.

Except Kangxi in the early Qing Dynasty, but Kangxi was different from himself. Oboi was only a powerful minister at best, and the world was still in the hands of the Aixinjueluo family. Kangxi had a lot of leverage to overthrow Oboi.

He is different. Even after setting up a system, he is still dumb. There is no one he can trust inside and outside the palace. These people around him are all the spies installed by Zhu Wen. The world already belongs to Zhu Wen, except for the two eunuchs.

, Fuquan and Youwei.

Fuquan and Youwei had grown up with him, and they were quite loyal to him. What's the use of loyalty? At best, these two were just eunuchs with no power.

Li secretly warned himself in his heart: I can live! I can live! I am a time traveler in the 21st century. I want to survive with my own wisdom, and I want to pass on the country of the Tang Dynasty.

If you want to counterattack, your only option right now is to pretend.

Pretend to be stupid, pretend to be stupid, pretend to be stupid, pretend to be stupid. Make Zhu Wen feel that he is no threat to him, and then secretly cultivate his own power.

Of course, this is a risky move, because you don’t know who is loyal to the Tang Dynasty and who is a traitor. Even those who are loyal to the Tang Dynasty have to cater to Zhu Wen on the surface. When the right time comes, we can work together to kill this person.

The traitor takes back his country.

The ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny. Cultivating forces secretly is a technical job. If you accidentally reveal the secret, it will lead to total destruction and your own life will be at risk. Therefore, this matter must be done carefully.

Now that you have become the puppet emperor, just accept your fate and follow them to continue this drama.

So Li smiled. He walked up to Jiang Xuanhui with a smile and gently helped him up. Li was moved: "Jiang Aiqing, please get up quickly. Since the father has decreed that the child will be the emperor, I have no choice but to do it. Jiang Aiqing

If you assist me with great merit, I will definitely give you a great reward."

Who would have thought that Jiang Xuanhui hurriedly bowed and said: "I am dead, so whether I can accept the reward or not depends on the wishes of King Liang. King Liang is the pillar of our Tang Dynasty and the pillar of our country."

The King of Liang he was talking about was Zhu Wen. At this time, Zhu Wen had been named Zhu Quanzhong by Emperor Zhaozong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li was excited and hurriedly slapped his forehead: "What Jiang Aiqing said is absolutely true. Without the support of King Liang, how could I be where I am today? Come here! Confer a reward to King Liang, and make him the Third Duke, Grand Master and Grand Tutor!"

No one responded. This new emperor must be a fool. Your emperor is just a puppet. When will it be your turn to speak about the rewards?

Sure enough, Jiang Xuanhui said: "Your Majesty, we still need to ask the King of Liang to decide on the reward."

This is really disrespectful, but at this time, Li has no power and can only hold his tail between his legs: "What Jiang Aiqing said is that I am confused. I am still young, so everything depends on the King of Liang."

Only now did Li realize how difficult his situation was. He was only an emperor in name only and did not have any substantive rights. If he wanted to counterattack, it would be tantamount to ascending to heaven.

Zhu Wen did not come. He seemed to have gone to fight in various places. After all, all the heroes in the world are now together. It is the end of August, and Zhu Wen will not be able to return to Luoyang for a month.

One month! Li's heart skipped a beat. The traitor Zhu Wen will not be back for another month, so why not take this opportunity to win over the ministers and achieve great things.

In history, Li was just a kid with no independent opinions. He didn't know what to do. There was a reason why Zhu Wen made him emperor. Otherwise, why didn't he make Li, the younger son, the emperor?

In other words, Zhu Wen knew that Li would not be able to make any big waves during his absence for more than a month.

Things are different now. I will not sit back and wait for you to deliver the poisoned wine. So after returning to the palace, Li immediately recruited his two young eunuchs, Fuquan and Youwei.

Fuquan was timid and could not be entrusted with big things. If you are willing to do something, you should be more flexible, so Li approached him: "Youwei, my life is worse than death now. You should leave the palace immediately and go to the homes of the ministers and tell them that I am going to do something tonight."

Summoned. This is the list. Remember, be careful in everything and don’t let anyone discover you.”

Youwei's surname is Sun, Sun Youwei. Youwei understands the principle of hozens scattering when a tree falls. If the emperor is unlucky, he himself will also suffer. So Youwei nodded, looked around for no one, and carefully put the list into his arms.

inside.

At this moment, the three of them were hiding in the Ming'an Palace. The so-called Ming'an Palace was just an ordinary stone house. After Zhu Wen forced Zhaozong to move the capital to Luoyang, the palace was built in a hurry, and there was no royal dignity left.

Li excused himself from the surveillance and asked Fuquan to guard the door, and then dragged Youwei to Ming'an Hall to be given the secret.

Suddenly, Li's scolding and scolding came from the Ming'an Palace: "Slave dog! I said that I wanted to eat the candy cakes outside the palace. If you can't get it back, I will beat you to death!"

Then there were beatings and sounds of begging for mercy from inside the house.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty, please spare your life. The royal chef can make these sweet cakes. Why does your Majesty have to go out of the palace to buy them?"

"It's like a dog! Don't lie to me. The late emperor once brought me this kind of candy cake from outside the palace. It is a hundred times more delicious than the one made by the imperial chef. After eating one piece, I feel so strong that I can go up to the sixth floor in one breath.

Take the trouble. Hurry and buy it for me outside the palace today. If you are late, I will break your dog legs!"

Then there was the sound of fists hitting flesh again, and Youwei rolled out of Ming'an Hall almost crawling. His eyes turned black and blue, and his clothes were torn in several places.

Youwei climbed out of Ming'an Hall and walked out crying.

"Stop, what are you doing?" Two guards blocked the way.

Youwei choked up: "Two guards, Your Majesty wants to eat candy cakes outside the palace. You heard it just now."
