Chapter Eighty-Nine: Canonization
Today is the canonization ceremony of the six princes, Chaoyang Palace was full of people early, and the ceremonial music and dance were even more peaceful. Emperor Wei sat on the platform and was even more happy, and there was no need to express it.
Today, all the people who should come are here, and Li Ziang is as concerned as before. However, Zhuge Changqing was extremely excited, he was afraid that he would not be able to calm down.
Li Ziang raised his eyes to look at the eldest prince, only to see that the eldest prince was uncharacteristically low-key, but he still gave Li Ziang an inquiring look, Li Ziang nodded without a trace, and saw that the smile spread on the eldest prince's lips.
At the end of the song and dance, Liu An reminded that the auspicious time had come.
The auspicious time has come, the canonization ceremony of the six princes, according to the right reason, how can the six princes be born and then canonized, but Emperor Wei insists on canonization, who dares to say anything, so the person who walked slowly on the red carpet in front of everyone was Concubine Lian.
The ritual music slowly played with Concubine Lian's steps, and even the six-tailed golden crested hairpin on Concubine Lian's head looked radiant and noble, making people dare not look at it directly.
Concubine Lian walked to Emperor Wei's side, and was waiting for everyone to salute and congratulate, but suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, Emperor Wei's eyes widened, and he shouted angrily: "Someone! Quickly pass on the imperial doctor! Lian'er, what's wrong with you, Lian'er!"
Concubine Lian's face was pale, and she used her last strength to point at Princess Xi.
Princess Xi saw Concubine Lian pointing at herself, and when she saw that Emperor Wei seemed to tear her eyes apart, she was so frightened that she collapsed directly to the ground.
"It's not me ... Father is not me. Princess Xi shouted this sentence with the last of her senses, and tears fell into her eyes.
Concubine Lian was taken back to the harem for treatment, but Emperor Wei did not go, he sat upright in the main hall, and the cold around him seemed to be able to condense into ice.
There is no word in the hall, this is a matter of the royal inner palace, who dares to say more.
After a short time, the imperial doctor and the maid returned to the main hall with a heavy face, and there was no need to say anything, so they knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, mourn." ”
Emperor Wei's face was even more gloomy, and his palm slapped at the nine-clawed golden dragon case in front of him with a "bang".
"Say!
The maid was the female official next to Concubine Lian, and when she was questioned at this time, she glared at Princess Xi with tears in her eyes.
"It's her! It's Princess Xi! Our mother has always been very good before, and everything is okay before the ceremony, but before the ceremony, Princess Xi came to visit Niangniang, and said that in order to congratulate Niangniang, she made pastries for Niangniang, and our Niangniang trusted Princess Xi, but I didn't expect to eat the pastries sent by Princess Xi to become what it is now! Your Majesty, please be the master of our mother, Niangniang, she is really... Woooooooo The maid hid her face and wept as she spoke, which was a sad word.
Princess Xi panicked even more when she heard this, and shouted while crying: "Father, Xi'er is wronged, how can the pastries that Xi'er gave to Concubine Lian be poisonous, that is Xi'er's own brother, how could Xi'er harm her, father, Xi'er is wronged." ”
Emperor Wei didn't want to be entangled in this matter any longer, so he waved his hand and ordered Princess Xi to be taken down.
Emperor Wei seemed to have a lot of gray hair at that moment.
Emperor Wei slowly walked out of the main hall, looked at the bright moon in the sky and sighed: "Alas... My Emperor, is the heavens telling me that David is exhausted? It's all gone. ”
After all the ministers dispersed, Emperor Wei turned around and turned back, but saw Xiahou Xiu still drinking in the palace.
Emperor Wei saw that Xiahou Xiu was drinking indifferently as if nothing had happened, and he was even more furious, and shouted: "Why don't you leave!"
Xiahou Xiu slowly put down the wine glass calmly, looked at Emperor Wei with a sneer in his eyes and said: "Father, do you know, the person I admired the most when I was a child was you, when I was a child, you taught me to ride a horse and shoot arrows, read and write, we are so father and son filial piety, that time was really beautiful, but since when did it change, did it start to change, from Concubine Xiao entering the palace or from Concubine Hui entering the palace, or from the absence of the queen mother?"
"Xiu'er, don't talk nonsense!" The queen did not leave at this time, and was about to stop Xiahou Xiu.
"Queen Mother, am I not right? Now that my father is old, he is not as good as he was back then, and he will no longer teach me to ride a horse and shoot arrows, but my father, there is only one throne, and I have always thought that I was your eldest son, and I am so good and popular with the people, why didn't you pass on the throne to me? The most ridiculous thing is that you actually passed it on to a child who is still in the womb, Father, you really disappointed me. ”
"Hmph! Rebel son! Don't you know what kind of temperament you have? You are delusional! I can give the throne to whomever I want, why? Do you still want to grab it?" Emperor Wei looked at Xiahou Xiu coldly, and the imperial momentum on his body was like looking at an ant.
"Hehe, father, son-in-law ask again, the sixth brother is no longer there, this throne... Will you pass it on to me?"
"Wishful thinking!" Emperor Wei flicked his sleeves angrily and hummed these four words out of his nose.
Xiahou Xiu raised his head and shook his head in disappointment and sighed: "Father, why are you so persistent, we can still be fathers and sons who are kind and filial, but you can't help it." Oh, by the way, Father, my sister Xi is really wronged to die, because ah, I replaced that pastry. Hahahaha. ”
"Rebel son! Rebel son!" Emperor Wei's eyes were already red. "I'm going to kill you today! You don't look at what kind of place this is, come on! Come on! Come on!"
Emperor Wei shouted three times in a row, but there was silence outside the palace, and there was no sign of the guards.
"Alas~ Father, you still save your energy to write me the holy decree of succession, how can I say such things in the hall today without being prepared at all, father, you are really old. ”
"You've trapped my Guards, heh, I'm underestimating you if you have the means, but you don't think I didn't defend you? ”
As soon as Emperor Wei's voice fell, he saw that the palace gate was surrounded by people, and a man in black came in: "Minister, it's too late to save the driver." ”
"Li Ziang?" Xiahou Xiu was a little shocked when he saw that the person who came in was Li Ziang, according to the previous discussion, he should be guarding the noon gate at this time, how could he appear here? After thinking for a while, Xiahou Xiu reacted: "Li Ziang! You betrayed me!"
"Your Highness is serious, the minister is just doing what he should do. ”
When Xiahou Xiu heard this, he immediately became angry, and he took out the sword at his waist and killed Li Ziang: "You traitor!
When Li Ziang saw this, he drew his sword to deal with it, but where was Xiahou Xiu's opponent, just when the sword in Li Ziang's hand was about to stab Xiahou Xiu's chest, a person came out from the darkness of the hall, and he was extremely agile and pushed away Li Ziang's sword.
"General Li, be merciful. ”
