Chapter 26

That night, Li Su wrote the edict of abdication.

　　The phenomenon of abdication to sons is not uncommon in Chinese history. Unlike abdication to powerful ministers and generals, this kind of abdication to sons or brothers is called internal abdication. The imperial power is still transferred within the same family, but the owner is slightly adjusted. It can be said that this kind of abdication is relatively conducive to political stability. The person who gave up the throne is usually respected as the "retired emperor". Although he is in name only, he can usually live the rest of his life in peace.

　　The country cannot be without a ruler for a day, and the transfer of imperial power is a complicated and tedious matter, but it must be completed as soon as possible. Therefore, early in the morning of the second day, the Imperial Censor Zhang Cheng came to the East Palace to present the imperial edict and the imperial seal. This is the first step of the abdication. There was a good story in ancient times that the emperors refused three times and finally accepted reluctantly on the last try. How will Li Que deal with it this time?

　　When Imperial Censor Zhang Cheng arrived at the Eastern Palace, Li Que had already been waiting with everyone in the Eastern Palace. Li Que himself wore a gold-woven brocade robe, with a dark blue rhinoceros belt with dragon and phoenix patterns tied around his waist. He had a slender figure and a dignified appearance, and was truly dazzling, with the appearance of an emperor just beginning to emerge.

　　In front of the East Palace, an incense table and various ritual vessels had already been placed. Everyone around them looked solemn but also happy. Obviously, once Li Que ascended the throne, the servants of the East Palace would no longer be ordinary servants, and the staff would no longer be ordinary staff, but would all become the emperor's "front men". In Daliang, the meaning of this word could indeed make these people overjoyed.

　　When Zhang Cheng met Li Que, he did not perform any formalities, nor did he show too much respect. As a censor, he always acted upright and neither humble nor arrogant, and it was precisely because of this that he won Li Su's trust.

　　"When Heaven created the earth, He established the shepherd, so as to shape the three poles and govern the heavens. Therefore, the implementation of the great way selects the virtuous and capable... Crown Prince Li Que is a saintly person born with wisdom and bravery, and he will help the world to recover and rebuild the country. He will restore the country and continue the lost... Although I am mediocre and ignorant of the great way, I have long been a role model for the rise and fall of the world. I will let him abdicate and return to the throne to the Crown Prince, just like the Tang, Yu, Han and Wei dynasties."

　　Zhang Cheng's voice was not very loud, but it was very penetrating and could be clearly heard by everyone present.

　　With every additional word he read, the people present became more excited. By the time he had finished reading Li Su's abdication edict, a group of people had already knelt in front of him.

　　Li Que solemnly took the imperial edict from Zhang Cheng. This light piece of paper carried the destiny of the entire Daliang Dynasty, which really made his thoughts wander.

　　"Your Highness, Your Highness!"

　　It was Zhang Cheng's reminder that brought Li Que back to his senses. Zhang Cheng was indeed a man who followed etiquette very closely. If he were someone who was seeking to curry favor with the powerful, he would have hurriedly called him "Your Majesty".

　　"I wonder when Your Highness is going to set the date for your enthronement so that I can instruct the officials of the Ministry of Rites to prepare as soon as possible. As for the procedures of the coronation ceremony, Your Highness needs to pay more attention to them in the next few days." Zhang Cheng said.

　　"Yes." Li Que nodded slightly at him, "I have already sent someone to calculate, and there will be an auspicious day in three days. When I ascend the throne, I will also enthrone the empress. The ritual system will probably be more complicated, so I'll have to trouble Doctor Zhang to help."

　　"This is my duty as a minister."

　　Zhang Chengdao turned curious and said, "Your Highness, you haven't even appointed a crown princess yet, but you don't know which lady from a noble family will be the future queen?"

　　Li Que was a young man, and in the royal family, he would have had a wife at this age. But after Li Que met Wu Qingying and hooked up with her when he was a teenager, he could not resist the temptation of Xu Niang, and those girls were naturally boring in his eyes. Therefore, several times when Li Su arranged marriages for him, he found reasons to refuse, so that he does not even have an open crown princess today, which is quite strange.

　　"Don't worry, the outcome will be clear when the time comes."

　　Li Que patted Zhang Cheng on the shoulder and smiled. …

　　The emperor abdicated and the throne was passed to the crown prince! This news spread throughout the capital within half a day, and then spread to all parts of the capital like a tide. It is estimated that it will soon spread throughout the country. And today, in the major teahouses and restaurants in the capital, there is no doubt that this is the only hot topic. People from all walks of life, young and old, women and children, all discussed this matter enthusiastically.

　　Their main concerns are: Why did the emperor suddenly choose to give up the throne to the crown prince? Did Li Que put some pressure on his father or use some means behind this? And who is the mysterious future queen?

　　What changes will occur in the political landscape after Li Que comes to power?

　　Some people who are interested in this have even drawn up a list of candidates for the "future queen", which includes all the famous ladies from the prominent families of the time. When the news spread, even these families themselves believed it to be true and treated it with caution. The parties involved were overjoyed, but also shy, revealing their complicated thoughts.

　　There is no shortage of conspiracy theorists. Some people have linked the recent Li Qiang rebellion with the abdication of Li Su, and attributed it all to Li Que's long-standing plan. They have concluded that Li Que is "cunning and improper." But generally speaking, there are not many people who hold this view. The reason is that when the new emperor comes to the throne, everyone is rushing to praise him. What good is there in mocking him? Besides, the emperor's abdication to the crown prince is undoubtedly a continuation of the orthodoxy, and it is also in accordance with the will of heaven. There is really nothing to blame.

　　Fengle Building is the largest restaurant in Kyoto. It consists of five three-story buildings, which are connected by flying corridors. There is a hundred-step colonnade between the gate and the building, and the appearance is magnificent. There are elegant seats for dignitaries to feast, and a lobby for ordinary diners. There are often various artists performing in the lobby for rewards. At this moment, Fengle Building is very lively. It turns out that a sharp-tongued storyteller has come to the lobby. He is spitting and talking, and has become the focus of the entire lobby. Even the elegant seats on the second and third floors have curious heads popping out from time to time.

　　"Speaking of the Fourth Prince, his eyes were gleaming with divine light. The Qingyun Sword in his hand flew up and down, chasing the clouds and the moon, shining brightly. Surrounded by three or four top masters, he was calm and fearless... The evildoer Li Qiang saw that he could not do anything, so he knelt on the ground and surrendered to the Fourth Prince. He was so sad that his eyes were streaming and his legs were shaking. The Fourth Prince looked down and saw that there was a puddle of water under the eldest prince!"

　　At this point, the whole audience burst into laughter. Some rude people banged the table to show their applause. Even those dignified and elegant ladies couldn't help but laugh. It was a pity that Li Qiang had already failed and died, but he still couldn't escape the verbal humiliation of these storytellers. But this was no wonder. Now that Li Que was about to ascend the throne, stories praising his wisdom and bravery and belittling his enemies would naturally not be restricted by the government. On the contrary, the more the better.

　　The common people were also happy to listen to these novel stories. In this way, the glorious deeds of Li Que were spread more and more in the capital. As for the authenticity, everyone just listened to them for fun, and no one really cared.

　　"Hey, why is the emperor so anxious to abdicate the throne to the crown prince? Isn't he worried that the crown prince is too young and lacks experience in handling political affairs?"

　　After a round of laughter, the topic of Crown Prince Li Que was brought up, and there was a lot of discussion in the hall.

　　"Brother Zhang, you don't understand this! I don't think His Majesty is willing to give up the throne to the Crown Prince!"

　　There are people around who are more sensitive to the current situation and they unconsciously want to show off in front of their friends.

　　"Brother Li, keep your voice down. You can't just say that!"

　　"It's okay. In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see it! It is said that it was this prince who used many tricks at the birthday banquet to force the emperor to express his position!"

　　"Oh? There is such a thing? I wonder where did you hear this from, brother Li? Can you tell me about it?"

　　When these people talked about this, they couldn't help but lower their voices, but their excited expressions showed how enthusiastically they were discussing.

　　At this time, not far from them, sat a handsome young man wearing a dark blue robe with gold brocade all over it. Since the storyteller's wonderful performance, this young man was one of the few people in the audience who didn't laugh. What's more, he even frowned. The discussions coming from all directions made his face look uglier and uglier, as if he was ready to walk away at any time.

　　"Sir, these people in the market are so vulgar and dare to say anything! How about I send a few people to capture the storyteller and give him a good lesson?"

　　The servant beside him sensed his master's mood and spoke in a flattering manner.

　　"You bastard!"

　　It would have been better if the man hadn't said anything. After he said it, the young master became even more furious. He turned around and poured the wine in the cup directly onto the servant's face. "How many times have I told you that this is the capital, not our Nanzhou! If Li Que catches any evidence against us, I'm afraid we will never have the chance to return to Nanzhou in this lifetime!"

　　If any upper-class person from Nanzhou were here, he would definitely be able to recognize who this angry young man is.

　　Young Marshal of Nanzhou——Fu Feipeng!

　　At the beginning of his career, Taizu, in order to reward meritorious officials and generals, after careful consideration, decided to enfeoff a group of princes of different surnames. However, he established a family precept that, except for this group of princes, no one of different surnames would be allowed to be enfeoffed as a king in a local area. Therefore, these princes enfeoffed during the Taizu period became the only princes of different surnames in Daliang State since its founding. By the time of Li Su, these princes had been in charge of one side, and their power had grown to a very large level, and even gradually became out of the control of the central government.

　　And Wang Fuhai of Nanzhou was the leader among them.

　　Nanzhou is located in the southwest of Daliang State and is often invaded by the Southwestern Yi people. As a result, the people are brave and many of them practice martial arts. The Hu clan, who were granted the title of Nanzhou, have been fighting against the Southwestern Yi people since the beginning. Gradually, they recruited the Yi people and cultivated a powerful army of the Yi people and the Huaxia people by using the Yi people to control the Yi people.

　　Because the Yi people liked to wear white feathers on their heads to show their military might when going to war, this mixed Yi and Chinese army was called the "White Feather Army."

　　The Nanzhou King's lineage, which owned the Baiyu Army, gradually became the most powerful among the princes. In the past, the Zhenla King led an army of 500,000 to invade, but was defeated by the Baiyu Army and retreated more than 700 miles. For a time, the Nanzhou King's lineage was feared throughout the world.

　　By the time of Li Su's generation, Li Su was worried that the princes of different surnames had become too powerful to be eliminated, and he had always wanted to reduce the power of the princes. So he asked several princes to send their sons to Beijing as hostages. And this Fu Feipeng was the son of the current Nanzhou King Fu Hai, who had been a hostage in Beijing for ten years.

　　During these ten years, the situation in the world changed. The foreign tribes in the south gradually weakened after years of attack by Daliang, while the Xiongnu in the north rose strongly and became the main external threat to Daliang. Under this situation, Fu Hai, the king of Nanzhou, who had freed up his hands, began to have many small thoughts. However, his son was in the capital, which made Fu Hai feel like a thorn in his throat, so he instructed Fu Feipeng to find a way to return to Nanzhou.

　　There are not many people who can persuade Li Su to change his mind and let Fu Feipeng go, and the former crown prince Li Qiang is one of them. Fu Feipeng secretly met with Li Qiang, and the two hit it off immediately. Fu Feipeng needs to borrow the crown prince's voice, and Li Qiang thinks that by letting Fu Feipeng go, he can gain the Nanzhou lineage as a strong support for himself in the local area, and once the central situation changes, he will not be without anyone to use.

　　So the two of them colluded with each other. When the capital was in crisis, Li Qiang secretly dispatched 100,000 elite troops from Nanzhou to the capital. Fu Feipeng did obey his orders and personally led his troops to the capital. As for whether he wanted to fish in troubled waters or sincerely supported Li Qiang, it is now impossible to confirm. Because before Fu Feipeng's troops arrived, Li Qiang had already been defeated and died.

　　Li Qiang's failure was bad news for Fu Feipeng. It was not that he was very loyal to Li Qiang, but that the ambition of the Nanzhou lineage had been completely exposed in this incident. How would the new crown prince deal with Nanzhou?

　　This is why Fu Feipeng temporarily abandoned his own army and sneaked into the capital alone to gather information.

　　And today, the announcement of Li Su's abdication edict made his heart sink to the bottom. If Li Su was still in power, Nanzhou still had a chance to survive. Once Li Que ascended the throne, would he let go of the Nanzhou lineage that had supported Li Qiang in his bid for the throne? This was something Fu Feipeng could not hope for no matter what.

　　Most of the discussions in Fengle Tower were praising Li Que and humiliating the prince's family. When Fu Feipeng heard them, they were like a knife cutting into his flesh and every word piercing his heart. Thinking of the bleak future of Nanzhou, how could he feel better?

　　No, we can't just sit there and wait for death. If we wait until Li Que has secured his throne and all the power of Daliang is gone, Nanzhou won't have any chance at all. We must strike first!

　　When Fu Feipeng thought of this, he exerted force with his hands and accidentally crushed the wine glass in his hand. It can be seen that his martial arts skills are indeed extraordinary.

　　"Young Marshal, calm down!"

　　Seeing their master getting angry, the servants around him were all terrified.

　　Fu Feipeng said with a gloomy face: "We can't wait any longer, we have to take the initiative! Have you finished the list I asked you to prepare a few days ago?"

　　The person next to him hurriedly handed over a confidential document.

　　"Okay, let's start visiting the people on this list today!"

　　Fu Feipeng said decisively. …

　　At the same time, the atmosphere in Zhuiyue Tower was still full of joy and singing. In the exclusive box on the attic, an obscene play was being performed.

　　"Ah... Guang'er... it's so wonderful... so comfortable..."

　　The room was filled with the smell of eroticism, with pearl curtains, jade tents, silk and silk, and fragrant pillows and brocade quilts. Every night, the graceful cries of the famous prostitutes and the low and heavy breathing of the patrons with inflated sexual desires could be heard. The woman who was moaning at this moment was an exceptionally beautiful and charming middle-aged mature woman.

　　This beautiful woman has an almond-shaped face, fragrant breasts and beautiful buttocks, and her whole body is smooth and white, especially her long legs, which are as soft and slender as peeled green onions and bamboo shoots. Who else could it be but Wu Qingying, the brothel owner of Zhuiyue Tower who is famous in the capital?

　　"Auntie...you are mine...I want to fuck you every day...and be with you every day!"

　　Sun Guang held Wu Qingying's two plump legs in front of his chest, and used his penis to poke the beautiful woman's bulging and plump mons pubis. It was hard to imagine how soft Wu Qingying's body was, and how it could bend into such an amazing arc!

　　It turned out that since his father Sun Xizhi was investigated and imprisoned, no one could control Sun Guang. He gave up on himself and simply moved into Zhuiyue Tower to live with Wu Qingying. He was uneducated and had no ambitions. Now that his family was in decline, he really wanted to spend his whole life with Wu Qingying, fucking a stunningly beautiful woman every day, and living a life of debauchery in Zhuiyue Tower. In his opinion, this was a wonderful life that even gods would not exchange.

　　If Sun Xizhi in prison knew that his son had fallen to this level, he would probably hang himself!

　　"My dear... Auntie loves you too... Auntie wants you to stay in Zhuiyue Tower for the rest of your life... and make love with you every day!"

　　Wu Qingying was fucked so hard by Sun Guang that her juices gushed out. The bright red brocade quilt was already stained with layers of white spots. The solid zelkova wood bed frame couldn't help but squeak during their intense sex, as if it was playing music for their intercourse.

　　"Auntie, let me cum inside you today! Your pussy is so warm, I really want to soak in it and never pull out!"

　　Sun Guang said while panting, leaning against Wu Qingying's face, that he felt he was almost reaching his limit.

　　At this moment, Wu Qingying, who was in bliss, suddenly flashed a look of extreme sadness on her face. It was hard to imagine that these two completely opposite expressions could appear on the same face at the same time. The blush of happiness on her face was still maintained, but her raised nose showed that she was about to cry. Wu Qingying's wrinkles were mostly concentrated on both sides of her nose, and when she was sad and distressed, the wrinkles inevitably appeared more. But these shallow wrinkles did not damage her beauty in the slightest. Instead, they made her already beautiful face more beautiful and mature, as if a mother was worried about her son who was about to leave.

　　Sun Guang obviously noticed the expression of the beauty under him, which had never been revealed before. In an instant, he was fascinated by Wu Qingying's beautiful mature woman style. He looked at Wu Qingying infatuatedly, thinking that the beautiful woman was sad because of his words: "Don't be like this, aunt! It's Guang'er's fault. Guang'er shouldn't ask for so much! Being able to fuck aunt is already a great gift to me!"

　　Hearing this, tears welled up in Wu Qingying's eyes. She seemed to want to say something, but suddenly she choked. At this time, Sun Guang pushed into her "three beads of spring water" honey channel again, and the spring water flowed out again, as if the tears disappeared from her eyes and overflowed from her vagina.

　　So she cried out: "No, Guang'er, you can cum inside me today. I have long wanted to feel the beauty of your hot sperm burning my heart!"

　　"Ah! Thank you, Auntie! Guang'er will definitely make you feel so good!"

　　Surprised, Sun Guang immediately ignored Wu Qingying's abnormal expression and focused on controlling his spear. He was ready to use the most ferocious thrust to make Wu Qingying climax repeatedly, let her hug his head tightly, press her plump breasts against him, clamp her white legs around him, let out a climax of ecstasy, welcome his hot spring, and then climax to the point of passing out.

　　Sun Guang was right, Wu Qingying did that, but the expression on her face was not like what Sun Guang thought, as if she was screwed to unconsciousness, but sad and resolute.

　　"It's coming, it's coming! Auntie, take my cum! I'm going to make you pregnant!"

　　Sun Guang was so excited that his penis suddenly grew bigger, and thick liquid was about to spurt out in the next moment!

　　"Come on, baby, cum all over me!"

　　At this time, Wu Qingying's tears could not stop flowing and dripping onto Sun Guang's shoulders, but Sun Guang, who was about to reach climax, did not notice it at all. While Wu Qingying was talking, she reached under the pillow behind Sun Guang and a gleaming dagger was grasped in the beautiful woman's hand!

　　At the same time, Wu Qingying felt that Sun Guang's penis suddenly expanded to the extreme, and then pressed tightly against the deepest part of her elastic and wrinkled honey channel!

　　"ah!"

　　With Sun Guang's roar, countless hot sperms were released from his penis, and shot into the deepest part of the beautiful woman's vagina like a raging wave. In an instant, Sun Guang's mind was completely empty, and he shot all his essence into the moist and soft vagina of the mature woman, enjoying the pleasure of his precious penis being surrounded and covered. He had never felt such a good feeling, and felt that his whole soul was sublimated.

　　At this moment, Wu Qingying hugged Sun Guang's neck tightly, and then stabbed Sun Guang's heart from behind with the dagger.

　　So Wu Qingying's lower body was filled with the hot semen from Sun Guang's penis, and her white and tender breasts were also splashed with the hot blood from Sun Guang's heart!

　　Sun Guang died completely at this moment of extreme climax!

　　Because the dagger was already coated with the poison Wu Qingying had carefully prepared, which could kill a person in an instant. But she was still worried that Sun Guang would die an uneasy death if he suffered even the slightest pain, so she planned such a time to let this young man who was infatuated with her die painlessly at the happiest moment.

　　Wu Qingying kissed Sun Guang's face tightly. His eyes stayed in the moment of climax, but he could never return to normal. His arms hugged Wu Qingying like a reflex. Before the climax, he must have wanted to hug Wu Qingying tightly and enjoy the pleasure of the climax together. He probably didn't know he was dead until he died. He just wondered why this climax lasted so long... so long... as if it lasted forever.

　　Wu Qingying's lips turned from hot to cold because Sun Guang's body had turned cold.

　　She sat there for a long time, holding Sun Guang's body, and the beautiful pictures of the two of them emerged in her mind one by one. She didn't know whether she had fallen in love with this young man who regarded her as a goddess and the only one, but she knew that she would never forget what happened in these days.

　　Killing Sun Guang was necessary. If he died in Li Que's hands instead of hers, Sun Guang would suffer a million times more. Therefore, Wu Qingying did not regret it, but once she thought that she was the only one for Sun Guang, but she was just one of the thousands of flowers for Li Que, she could not help but feel heartbroken.

　　Besides, he had already been baptized by countless crude and lowly semens in this place of willows and mist. Was that dirty corridor worthy of Li Que's noble dragon?

　　Wu Qingying didn't know.

　　She walked out of the room in a daze, and walked to the center of the lobby on the first floor in a daze. She was naked, with big breasts that were slightly raised, cherry-like protrusions, beautiful buttocks, soft vagina, and long legs. Her flawless figure made all the prostitutes along the way "salute" and unconsciously let go of the beauties in their arms.

　　Wu Qingying's beauty and graceful figure made all the other women in Zhuiyue Tower pale in comparison.

　　"Dear guests, Qingying would like to thank you all for your care over the years. However, Qingying encountered an unexpected change recently, so I had to stop the operation of Zhuiyue Tower. Zhuiyue Tower will be taken over by someone else soon. I am afraid that I will not have the opportunity to meet you in the future, so I came here to say goodbye to you all."

　　After saying that, Wu Qingying bowed deeply several times to the people around her. When she bent down, her towering breasts hung down and looked even bigger and fuller, which made everyone present feel burning with desire.

　　As soon as Wu Qingying finished speaking, the whole place went wild. Why is Zhuiyue Tower so popular in Beijing? In addition to the fact that the girls here are more beautiful than those in other brothels, another reason is the beautiful madam of Zhuiyue Tower. The prostitutes in ordinary brothels are all covered in makeup, which makes people feel disgusted, but Wu Qingying herself has become the biggest star in Zhuiyue Tower. If she usually puts out the word to receive customers, no matter whether they are royal relatives or wealthy businessmen, they will rush to have sex with her. Some of the people present have had a one-night stand with Wu Qingying, but they still can't forget her, thinking that they can have another chance. And those new guests are eagerly waiting for the opportunity to become Wu Qingying's guests.

　　Such a biggest pillar of Zhuiyue Tower announced that he was leaving. How could the people present accept it?

　　But for Wu Qingying, Li Que was about to ascend the throne, and her mission of providing intelligence for Li Que in Zhuiyue Tower had been completed. How could she stay in this lewd place any longer? No woman would like to be pressed down by all kinds of men and toyed with wantonly every day, and still have to pretend to be happy and lewd. For Wu Qingying, she just wanted to find a place to spend the rest of her life peacefully.

　　But when she looked around, the humble attitude of the men, like begging dogs, made Wu Qingying's heart soften. At the same time, an inexplicable vanity was at work: she could not become a concubine in the harem and enjoy a noble status, but in these brothels she was a veritable goddess, and men dreamed of inserting their penis into her fragrant vagina.

　　Thinking of this, she couldn't help but say to herself: Forget it, since I'm already a fallen woman, why bother about indulging myself one more time?

　　Then she finally smiled slightly, revealing the cute wrinkles on her nose.

　　"Don't be sad, my dear guests. Qingying has prepared farewell gifts for everyone!"

　　She walked to the front of the guests at one of the tables in the hall, raised her smooth and straight legs, and stuffed her purple-red nail polish-painted feet into the mouth of a middle-aged wealthy businessman. Then she held up her big breasts with both hands, squeezing out a charming cleavage: "Qingying will have sex with every guest in Zhuiyue Tower at this moment, to thank everyone for their long-term support and care..."

　　Before she could finish her words, a young man next to the wealthy businessman who was sucking her beautiful feet had already thrown her to the ground. Then all the men in the hall crowded over like they were going to a market, and even the doors of the private rooms on the second and third floors opened one after another.

　　Seeing this, the girls in Zhuiyue Tower immediately organized the guests who were waiting to fuck Wu Qingying, although they regretted not being able to receive any guests tonight. However, seeing Qingying's mother was going to show off her power and fight dozens or even hundreds of guests in Zhuiyue Tower alone, they also watched excitedly.

　　So, throughout the long night, streams of semen sprayed all over Wu Qingying's skin from her hair to her toes. Soon, her bright and smooth body was covered with a layer of sticky milky white liquid, like frozen grease in winter. And slowly, the layer of liquid accumulated thicker and thicker... until you could no longer feel the beautiful mature woman's original skin when you touched it, but only that fishy and thick feeling.

　　In this semen bath, Wu Qingying seemed to be bidding farewell to her past and welcoming a complete new life...
