Chapter 16-Eternal Emperor, Alluring Beauty)
Under the watchful eyes of Yang Guang and Empress Xiao, Li Xian walked into the pavilion step by step, clad in blood-stained armor.
Li Xian was about 185cm tall and was very well-proportioned. He did not have the physique of a grizzly bear like Xiong Kuohai, but rather, he looked more like a cheetah that was full of explosive power.
At this moment, his armor was stained with blood.
"This lowly subject Li Xian greets Your Majesty, Your Majesty!”
After arriving outside the pavilion, Li Xian bowed and cupped his hands at the man and woman sitting in the pavilion.
When he came over, the eunuchs in the palace had already told him what he needed to pay attention to and who was in the pavilion at this time to prevent him from committing the crime of disrespect.
"Raise your head and let me take a look." Yang Guang's voice was low.
Li Xian raised his head after hearing this.
Empress Xiao, who was sitting beside Yang Guang, was a little surprised when she saw Li Xian's face.
He had thought that a person who could lead an army to charge a thousand miles was a rough and fierce general, but this young man in front of him seemed to be an elegant young master.
If not for the fact that he was wearing armor and his body was stained with blood, he would have looked more like a scholar.
Yang Guang's focus was obviously different from Empress Xiao's.
He was looking into Li Xian's eyes.
Because he had also discovered that Li Xian's eyes had a pair of dual-pupils.
Since ancient times, it has been said that saints are born with double pupils.
Moreover, he saw something else in Li Xian's eyes.
Just as he was talking about Li Xian, Li Xian was also talking about Yang Guang.
This was the first time he had seen Yang Guang, a legendary emperor who had a mixed reputation in history.
Yang Guang's achievements could be said to be lasting for thousands of years.
Carry out scientific examination, build Luoyang, build Dayun, and cast the Great Wall eastward.
This was a political issue.
Let's not talk about military matters.
Militarily pacified the Turks, Khitans, Tuyuhun.
Yang Guang had used less than eight years to complete all of this. If it were another emperor, it might be difficult for him to accomplish so many achievements in his lifetime.
Of course, these achievements were built on the blood and tears of the people.
However, it had to be said that Yang Guang's merit was in the future, but his crime was in the present.
Li Shimin was known as a wise and wise monarch, but his achievements in his life were less than half of Yang Guang's.
However, the more proud a person was, the harder it was for them to stand up again after being thwarted one after another.
Yang Guang's later stage was a typical example.
The three defeats against Goguryeo didn't deplete the strength of the Guanlong nobles, but instead caused them to retaliate.
Yang Xuangan rebelled first, and then the world fell into chaos.
Yang Guang was completely disheartened after being besieged by the Turks.
The strong backlash from the Guanlong nobles caused him to lose control of the situation. This time, he hid in Jiangnan.
As a result, the country was in ruins in the later stages.
It had to be said that Yang Guang's story was full of legends and also full of tragic colors. In the end, he died in the coup of the Jiang Capital Palace. Even his most beloved woman, Empress Xiao, was not protected.
This legendary peerless beauty was sent to the side of several kings.
Perhaps someone had said that Empress Xiao was no longer young, but whether it was in terms of culture, Dou Jiande, or Chuluo Khagan, which one of them had never seen a beauty before?
But no one could shake off Empress Xiao.
Empress Xiao was finally sent to Li Shi Min's side.
Yang Guang died, while Empress Xiao's fate was full of misfortune.
"Li Xian, do you know your crimes?" Yang Guang asked coldly after a while.
"This lowly subject is guilty." Li Xian lowered his head and said.
Although he said that he was guilty, he knew in his heart that Yang Guang would not kill him because he was still useful.
What he needed to do now was to obediently become a chess piece and then look for an opportunity to jump out of this chess game.
This was what he needed to do now.
"Very good." Yang Guang praised and continued,"You have made a great contribution, so this one should reward you. However, you have disobeyed the imperial edict twice, so this one should also kill you.”
"However, Zhen knows that you are young and impulsive. Moreover, it is for your aunt. Zhen can forgive you for this!”
"But I won't give you any military merits. Do you have any complaints?”Yang Guang looked at Li Xian and asked word by word.
Li Xian shook his head. All of this was within his expectations.
"Haha." Yang Guang smiled.
He was very satisfied with Li Xian's understanding, so he was prepared to protect Li Xian.
"Someone has already reported what just happened to Zhen. Although the matter between you and Li Yuanji is a family matter, you still killed someone in the city. If Zhen wants to protect you, I can't be too biased towards you.”Yang Guang asked.
"Understood." Li Xian said succinctly.
"Very good. During this period of time, I will punish you to reflect on your mistakes in the prison. When this time is over, you can come out. However, don't worry, the rewards for your soldiers will naturally not be small.”
"And your aunt and your sister, I will naturally let them remove their slave status and give them rewards.”
Li Xian understood that Yang Guang's words could be considered a kind of condition exchange.
From now on, he would enter the role and act as a chess piece that Yang Guang needed.
A chess piece that could move the entire Guanlong clan.
"Your humble subject thanks Your Majesty!"
