Xu Ke said worriedly, "Langjun, if you encounter difficulties during this trip to the palace …"
Jiang Pengji was relaxed about it and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, it's not that serious. At most, we'll just have a chat."
In a sense, Jiang Pengji as a "hostage" was more important than other "hostages." As Liu She's only "son," as long as she was still in Shangjing and under the eyes of the Emperor, Liu She, the magistrate of Chongzhou, would not dare to disobey.
Understanding this, Jiang Pengji was not worried about the trip to Shangyang Palace.
Xu Ke understood the reason, and his face was as gloomy as ink.
Whether it was as a citizen of Dongqing or as Jiang Pengji's right-hand man, he despised the Dongqing Emperor's behavior.
If the Emperor was diligent and loved the people, why would he need to worry about his subordinates obeying him on the surface but disobeying him in secret?
She followed the eunuch into the palace, and Jiang Pengji waited outside the palace to be summoned.
Just as Jiang Pengji thought, the Emperor only took some time to meet her. He chatted for a while, reminisced about his and Liu She's friendship, and warmly invited her to stay in Shangjing for a while. Then he rewarded her with a table of delicacies. The whole process lasted less than an hour.
Jiang Pengji did not waste the opportunity. She started a semi-interactive livestream. The title was "Half Day Tour of Shangyang Palace."
Yingyang Kuaixian: "I feel that the architecture of Shangyang Palace has some characteristics of the Qin and Han Dynasties, but some places are filled with the style of the Tang Dynasty … Well, no matter what, the ancient palace is indeed a treasure of human cultural heritage. It's not something a normal film city can compare to."
Jianguo Buchengjing: "Please, this is the real royal palace. If the film city was 100% restored, it would have gone bankrupt long ago. It's good enough to make an imitation for you to see. Why are you so picky? If you want to see the palace, go to the Forbidden City. "
Koujiao Chifan: "It's the Forbidden City. It's been in disrepair for years. There aren't many places on display, and there are so many tourists every day. Many places look like dilapidated buildings. Traveling during the Golden Week, every time I visit the Forbidden City, I always feel that the royal palace is nothing special. "
Jiang Pengji had been in this era for a few years, but it was the first time she was in such close contact with Shangyang Palace. The audience in the streaming room was even more excited. For their era, everything about the feudal dynasty aroused their curiosity and exploration.
[Wahaha]: "Eh, let alone the Imperial Garden, when I see the Emperor of Dongqing, all my hopes for the Emperor are shattered, okay?" He had thought that he would be able to see a handsome middle-aged man with extraordinary majesty. However, the Emperor of Dongqing was just a middle-aged man with heavy eye bags. He did not have the aura of an emperor. He looked wretched as if his body had been hollowed out. It felt like even the middle-aged men dancing on the street were more energetic than him.
Scan Code See Me: I raise both my hands and feet in agreement. It was one thing to say that he was a middle-aged wretched old man, but when she thought of all the beautiful young ladies in the palace being defiled by him, she suddenly felt disgusted, as if she was eating an apple only to find half a caterpillar's corpse. Luckily the streamer didn't go to a harem fight. Otherwise, the thought of the streamer getting jealous over a lowly man would make me wake up from my dreams.
From this, it could be seen that regardless of the era, one's face was still very important.
The age, appearance, and aura of the Emperor of Dongqing did not match the expectations and expectations of the audience in the streaming room.
As the audience chatted, a completely different style popped up on the bullet screen.
Panda Noodle House: "Am I the only one who realized that we've been tricked by the streamer?" The title of today's streaming was "Half-day tour of Shangyang Palace". In fact, the streamer only took us to walk a single path. She did not stop to introduce the architectural landscape, and the duration was not even half a day.
Not to mention half a day, it was only an hour.
Selling dog meat with a sheep's head!
When Jiang Pengji saw the bullet screen, she specially posted one and conveniently thanked the viewer.
Streamer V: "The current situation does not allow me to wander around Shangyang Palace. However, one day, I will open another streaming of a one-day tour of Shangyang Palace. When that time comes, I can go wherever I want. The inner court of the palace will be unobstructed. Panda Noodle House. "
The content of the bullet screen seemed very ordinary, but the audience in the streaming room expressed their horror after thinking about it carefully.
She was still a citizen of Dongqing. Due to the majesty of the royal family, she could only follow the eunuch who led the way. It was impossible for her to wander around Shangyang Palace.
Then, under what circumstances could she ignore this rule and walk around Shangyang Palace unimpeded?
When she became the new master of Shangyang Palace.
Having reached this conclusion, the audience in the streaming room was instantly delighted. They gave Jiang Pengji a lot of gifts, and the screen was full of 666.
Laosiji Lianmeng: "Streamer, I give you 101 points. I'm not afraid of you becoming arrogant even if I give you one more point."
With the audience in the streaming room joking around, Jiang Pengji left unscathed. As soon as she left the palace, she saw Xu Ke anxiously waiting for her.
"I'm fine. Let's go back in the carriage."
Jiang Pengji waved her hand and ordered the groom to drive.
Xu Ke saw that she was calm and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. "Langjun, did your trip go well?"
"I was praised and ate some food. The royal chef in the palace is not as good as the chef in Wuma Jun's residence … "Jiang Pengji complained.
The royal chef's cooking was definitely better than the ordinary chef's, but the food prepared by the royal chef was already cold. How could it be compared to hot food?
Xu Ke was speechless. He suddenly could not reply.
His Langjun's style was always so fresh and different.
"However, I can only stay in Shangjing for a while. I can't leave." Jiang Pengji shook her head and said in a low voice, "The Emperor is addicted to beauty. His body is strong on the outside but weak on the inside. He refuses to rest and needs to use tiger-wolf medicine to keep him alive … I'm afraid he has realized that his body is not feeling well and is increasingly afraid of death. Now that he is under house arrest in Shangjing, I'm afraid he is extremely afraid of death … "
Even if the Emperor supported the foreign relatives and the eunuchs to suppress the aristocratic families, he was still raising a tiger that would invite disaster.
The aristocratic families seemed to be retreating, but they were not seriously hurt.
The so-called aristocratic families all had a deeper and longer history than the royal family of Dongqing.
If the Emperor suddenly died, who knew if the aristocratic families would retaliate and completely turn the royal family of Dongqing into a puppet?
It was probably because of this worry that the Emperor gradually recalled the sons of the aristocratic families who were serving outside and used them as hostages.
If Jiang Pengji was the Emperor of Dongqing, faced with such a situation, she would choose an heir as soon as possible and abdicate the throne to let the dynasty's power take over smoothly. She would grant amnesty to the people and show mercy to the ministers. At the same time, she would cut off the remnants of the foreign relatives and the eunuchs to ensure that the new Emperor could sit firmly on the throne.
As for the threat of the aristocratic families, she would rope them in and suppress them. She would first stabilize Dongqing, which was riddled with holes. That was the best strategy.
However, the current Emperor obviously did not want to move. He did not want to abdicate the throne to his son while he was still alive.
