Chapter 42: A dilemma

"Princess Yiyang didn't move, what about King Yiyang?"

"King Yiyang's movement is quite big, since the lord of the country fell ill, he has collected doctors and wizards from all over the country, and if he thinks it is good, he will recommend it to the palace to see the lord of the country. The www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion heard that in order to cure the lord's illness, he had to taste all the medicines himself before offering them to the lord. Everyone said that the king of Yiyang was benevolent and righteous, and even the children on the street were singing: 'King Yiyang, King Renyi, the country has Yiyang, and Wu has a phoenix!'"

"What do you mean?"

According to legend, many years ago, a colorful fire phoenix fell on a thousand-year-old sycamore, and the phoenix stood on the thousand-year-old sycamore and shouted four times in all directions. Our ancestors of the Fire Phoenix Kingdom saw it and thought that this was an auspicious place, so they established the Fire Phoenix Kingdom here. Although no one has seen a phoenix since, everyone believes that the Fire Phoenix Kingdom is a place that the Divine Bird Phoenix has taken a fancy to. In this nursery rhyme, it is said that 'there is a phoenix' in the fire phoenix country, which means that the fire phoenix country has a prince like King Yiyang, just like the phoenix falling on the sycamore again, it will definitely bring benefits to the country. Yi Dayin patiently explained.

"However, if the King of Yiyang is regarded as a phoenix, where should the position of the lord of the country be placed?"

Yi Dayin was stunned for a moment, and immediately twisted his thick eyebrows, and after Feng Shanyue's reminder, he realized the problem behind this nursery rhyme.

"Really?"

"Yes, Yi Dayin, I think this nursery rhyme is very suspicious, someone is deliberately elevating the status of King Yiyang, as for whether this person is trying to harm King Yiyang, or King Yiyang himself is operating behind his back, then I don't know. Feng Shanyue has read a lot of such nursery rhyme predictions in history books, and she has always believed that this is just a purposeful public opinion campaign.

Yi Dayin's expression became more serious, "It makes sense for you to say that, I thought it was just a child, so I didn't think about it." I also think it's very suspicious when you say that. When the lord of the country was seriously ill, the always low-key King Yiyang suddenly stood on the cusp, and there must be someone behind it. ”

Feng Shanyue nodded, "Moreover, I feel that this ritual of worshiping the heavens and praying for rain may be an opportunity to break out, and the people behind this will definitely choose to make a big move on this kind of high-profile occasion, so you must be on guard." ”

"No, this is the occasion of the lord of the kingdom and the high priest praying himself, who would dare to make a mistake?"

Feng Shanyue shrugged, "It's always good to be prepared. ”

Yi Dayin nodded, "Then I'll go to the high priest to discuss." ”

Jade Family.

Master Yu hurried home from Fengming Palace and came to his father's study, only to find that not only Yushuai was at home, but even the general Yuzhuo, who was usually busy training in the army, and the second son, Yuheng, who was busy eating, drinking and having fun every day, were also here.

"Dad, big brother!" Master Yu said hello, and then glanced at Yu Heng lightly, "It's rare that the second brother is also at home!"

Yu Heng hooked his lips and smiled, "Why did our family's witch come back?"

The age difference between Master Yu and Yu Heng is not much, but they pinch as soon as they meet. Master Yu felt that his second brother didn't do the right thing all day, so he knew how to eat, drink and have fun, and he looked down on it in his heart. Yu Heng felt that his sister had a cold face all day long, and she didn't look like a sister at all, so when she saw her, she wanted to stab her twice.

"Okay, you two, how old are you, and you're still the same as when you were a child, you have to quarrel when you meet. Yu Zhuo glanced at his younger brother, and then asked Master Yu, "Linglong, why did you come back?"

"Dad, big brother, I heard that something happened in the palace!"

"You also know?" Yu Shuai sat on the couch in the middle, his brows furrowed, and he seemed to be worried about this matter, "I heard that the lord of the country fainted again today." There was news from Concubine Ruyi before, but I didn't take it to heart. I thought that the king was also a man who had fought on the battlefield, and his body was very strong, and he didn't have to worry about the slightest illness occasionally. Who knew it would be so serious!"

"How about the Ruyi concubine and the little prince?"

"Your cousin looks gentle, but in fact she is a very strong person. This time, the lord of the country suddenly fell seriously ill, and although she was busy taking care of the little prince, she was still very calm, and sent a message to us to reassure, saying that she and the little prince were fine. ”

Yu Linglong frowned, "The lord of the country is seriously ill, if that kind of thing really happens, the situation of the eldest concubine and the little prince will be very difficult, how can it be good? It seems that I still have to go to the palace." ”

Yu Shuai nodded, "It's right to enter the palace." Your aunt died early, and you, as a member of your mother's family, should go and see it. Let's go to the palace tomorrow and bring your sister-in-law. ”

Yu Heng took a sip of tea and said lightly: "Actually, as long as our Yu family does not fall, the Ruyi concubine and the little prince will be fine." Dad, I think the key now is to figure out where the Yu family should stand. ”

"Second brother, what are you talking about? Our Yu family has always been loyal to the monarch and protecting the country, do you still want to change your position?" Yu Linglong looked at Yu Heng dissatisfiedly, this second brother is so unreliable when he speaks.

"Linglong, don't worry, your second brother didn't mean that. Our Yu family has been loyal to the Fire Phoenix Kingdom for generations, and this position will never change. But if the lord of the kingdom dies, then our Yu family will have to face the question of whether to support the young prince or stand on the side of the new lord?"

"The new lord?"

Yushuai coughed, "Judging from the current situation, if it is not for the young prince to succeed to the throne, then the most likely person to become the lord of the country is King Yiyang." Our Yu family has half of the strength of the Fire Phoenix Country in its hands, and the other half, except for the lord's own pro-army, is in the hands of General Baihe. If King Yiyang takes the opportunity to grasp the pro-army of the lord of the country and win over General Baihe, then our Yu family will be roasted on the fire. ”

"Dad, you don't mean to move closer to King Yiyang, do you?" Master Yu's eyes widened, "I don't agree! King Yiyang has always been at odds with our Jade family, even if we bow to him, we won't treat the Jade family well." ”

Yu Shuai nodded, and Yu Zhuo also fell silent, they had been discussing this matter just now, moving closer to King Yiyang, and they were unwilling, but if they supported the young prince, it would be equivalent to using the Yu family army to fight with the other half of the forces of the Fire Phoenix Kingdom. In the current situation where the country of Ma Fang and the country of Quchi are eyeing each other, if there is a war in Huofeng, it will inevitably give foreign enemies an opportunity to take advantage of. When the time comes, the people of the Fire Phoenix Kingdom will face a catastrophe of annihilation, which Yushuai does not want to see.

"Dad, big brother," Yu Heng, who had been silent for a while, suddenly spoke, "If we can restore the health of the country lord, won't these problems be solved?"
