In the Southern Dynasty imperial city bathed in the morning light, Xiao Yan slowly raised his head.

The imperial study room was burned with spices from the South China Sea. This spice can calm the mind, but it was too expensive. Even the warehouses in the palace were not prepared much. After he ascended the throne, he always advocated frugality, so he never used it on weekdays.

But now he has to use it.

His heart was uneasy.

The ministers were still in the morning court, and the officials were still in order. All kinds of documents that needed his imperial approval gathered in front of his case like a sea of ​​convergence.

Everything seems to be no different from the past.

However, he knew very well that what he was sitting on at this time seemed not to be a dragon throne, but an undercurrent that he didn't know where he would go.

He has never been a very proud person, but on the contrary he has always been very modest. He is not very happy with the excellence, and even doesn't like people to see how outstanding he is.

So even if he seized the throne with force, few people in the world knew his true cultivation.

But no matter how modest he is, he will not think that he is really bad and stupid.

He has always been very diligent and considers his people very much.

Just why it turned out like this?

He has always despised the foolish monarch who was overthrown by him in the previous dynasty. He has always felt that it was such a rotten existence that brought his dynasty to such a level. However, in the morning light today, looking at the palace that once belonged to the foolish monarch, he inexplicably felt that if he had changed himself, he would probably not have done anything at that time.

Powerless to change.

Cannot be changed.

He seems to be facing this situation now.

Everything seemed to be no different from usual, but he knew very well that many places that belonged to him, which seemed to be orderly, had actually left his sight and out of his control.

The entire dynasty was originally like a very intact piece of wood, but now it still looks intact on the surface, but many places inside have actually been eaten up by various forces, but he is unable to stop and change.

He felt a deep sense of powerlessness and frustration.

If someone else is replaced, will there be a different result?

If he does not support his mother and breaks up with his mother, then with his mother's temperament, he may even try to kill him, and it will be a chaos in the world.

Now that he supports his mother, he thought that such a thundering method could suppress He Xiuxing's lineage in one fell swoop, but the result was that his mother died.

The threat from the Northern Wei Dynasty is still there. The five border troops in the north each have their own ideas. The Chen family has controlled some of them. Some people will choose not to help either side. Some people can obey his orders, how many at most are there?

One-third of the border army?

Can he completely draw all one-third of the border troops?

Draw to fight Dangxiang?

Even if those border troops were willing to do this and became enemies with Lin Yi, the current Southern Dynasties would probably no longer support such a long-distance migration and war.

A large part of military rations and ordnances originally came from the supply of states and counties in various places, and many even came from the support of prominent families in various places, but now many people will not stand on his side.

As long as some links are not supplied, even the army he can mobilize will suffer a catastrophe.

So he seems to be unable to do anything.

In this morning light, he felt wronged.

He has tried his best to be a good emperor.

He Xiuxing has always been his enemy. He always thought that He Xiuxing was his biggest threat in this world, so he was naturally full of inexplicable disgust towards Lin Yi. However, at this moment, he couldn't help but think that perhaps He Xiuxing was right back then.

There were already great problems with relying too much on the throne obtained by his mother, so today, he fell into such a situation.

News from the Demon Sect is still coming.

He was killing constantly.

Many royal families and practice areas have been slaughtered by him in the past five or six days.

However, he really can't do anything.

He seemed to be helplessly watching his own dynasty become moldy and slowly dying.

...

Too many things happened in this morning light.

The Jiuhua Mountain Sect, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, has also disappeared from the world.

The carriage where a veteran of the Southern Dynasty was parked at the post station. The post station official who had heard the news had prepared the wine and food with great respect and joy.

Even in the early morning, the inn official still took out his best collection to entertain the old man who had returned from the border, a tiger general who was in awe of the people of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

The officials of the post station naturally kept Wei Rui's whereabouts strictly confidential, but this was not originally a secret in the military, so some people learned the news along the way. Before these carriages arrived, even though the post station was nearly an hour away from the nearest village, countless people were still gathered around the post station.

Some people carry some fruits and vegetables in the field, some people just grab a few cooked eggs, and some people hold newly spun cotton cloth, but these are the best things these people can take out.

They gathered on both sides of the road, waiting for the return of the old man who had fought for the country for many years.

The beloved general's return to the court was originally a happy thing, but when the carriages arrived, there was not much cheer when the legendary veteran walked out of the carriage.

Looking at the veteran's gray hair and the common clothes on his body, the station official who was excited and waiting for Gong Li was still excitedly shouting the hot dishes behind the two people behind him before taking a few breaths, but at this time the first one was inexplicably wet the corners of his eyes.

"General Wei!"

Someone spoke out in the crowd.

A cry sounded, and many people bowed down and saluted the old man, but there were whimpers in their voices, and this whimper seemed to be contagious.

After a moment, many people cried.

The officials at the post station were also sad and unable to control themselves.

He was greeted happily, but he didn't know why it turned out like this.

Even though they had a great victory, the border troops in the north had already made their way, and they could even drive straight into Luoyang and even unify the north. Why was such a general transferred back?

Why did General Lin suddenly become a traitor after clearly pacifying the Dangxiang border?

"General Wei, is General Lin really a traitor?"

The inn official could not ask this, but among the crying people, some asked such a question.

"It will be on the border, and there are many news that are not available, and misunderstandings may be inevitable."

Wei Rui himself could not answer this question, but he knew what these people wanted to hear, so he sighed in his heart and said, "Maybe there will be a chance to ease."

But will there really be a ease?

According to the new news in the past two days, he knew in his heart that this opportunity for easing was approaching nothing.

This is just a lie of kindness.

It was at this moment that he saw a little girl on the edge of the crowd.

The age of the girl was only considered a little girl to him.

But the little girl just had a look at him, and in just one glance, he had already vaguely guessed the identity of this person.
