Chapter 7: Ingratitude
Ascending the high steps, there was a thick door covered with brass nails, and at the door stood two rows of mighty guards in armor. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info These guards held the hilts of their swords one by one, and their eyes were cold, and they strafed everyone who entered the main hall. Their status is not low, all of them are first-class guards with swords, belong to the royal guards, and are under the direct command of the king of Chu.
Yun Feiyang, a sick man, rarely went to the court to discuss matters, and the guards couldn't help but look at him with contempt, full of curiosity.
However, no one stopped Yun Feiyang from entering the hall, because although Yun Feiyang was born with a broken vein, could not cultivate, and was a waste, the identity of the prince was genuine. The prince and the ministers above the fourth rank are eligible to enter the palace to participate in the government.
Entering the temple gate, there is an open-air square inside, and the temple of heaven is built in the center. This is only the outer hall, and there are already many ministers and princes lined up and chatting.
The door of the inner sanctum will not be opened until the time comes, when the ministers and princes will enter in procession to worship the king and then participate in state affairs.
The prince stood at the head of the princes, and standing behind the prince was the second prince of Prince Qizhu, who was majestic and domineering. The second prince Yun Zhan is the son of Yang Guifei, who fights openly and secretly with the crown prince, and is also the only prince who can compete with the prince.
Because the second prince is very good, can fight well, and has made countless meritorious contributions, he is deeply loved by the king of Chu. At a young age, he is already the prince of Qizhu, you must know that the prince is only seven pearls. This is to make it clear that two people should compete and balance the situation.
Although the second prince is not the crown prince, the dignity of his status is not inferior to that of the prince. Many of the ministers of the court, especially some middle-aged ministers, have been co-opted by the second prince and secretly supported the second prince to seize the throne.
"Yo, the ninth brother hasn't breathed yet! I heard that you are going to Ximen Marshal's Mansion again? The prince's eyes were cold, and he asked in a strange way. He had already said that Yun Feiyang was not allowed to go to Ximen Marshal's Mansion to find Ximen Yue again, but Yun Feiyang did not listen to his warning, which made him extremely angry.
Yun Feiyang didn't say anything, but just stood at the end of the prince's queue.
"Tut-tut! It seems that the ninth brother is not lightly ill, and he doesn't even have the strength to speak! Hehe, I heard from the Imperial Doctor that the strange poison in your body is difficult to treat, and you won't live for two months at most! "The prince still doesn't give up, he just can't get used to seeing the clouds flying. A waste, why is he so close to Marshal Simon's two flowery daughters.
"Okay, okay, boss, you are really good, you know that the ninth brother is weak, why bother to bully him again!" The second prince is known as a virtuous person, and he will speak for Yun Feiyang every time, and he has never done anything to bully Yun Feiyang. Some ministers immediately cast appreciative glances at the second prince, and they all admired in their hearts, the second prince is really virtuous!
However, Yun Feiyang felt that the second prince was more terrible than the prince, a jackal who was good at disguising himself. The second prince helped him speak, on the one hand, he wanted to win Yun Feiyang, and on the other hand, he also erected his virtuous image in front of everyone.
Among the princes present, each has a group of ministers behind him and has his own power. Only Yun Feiyang, the ******** waste prince, grandma doesn't hurt, uncle doesn't love, and no one wants to follow him. Among all the ministers, only one person had a good impression of him, and that was Wen Guogong. It's just a good feeling, and it's not the kind that follows.
Wen Guogong was an upright person, belonged to the elders of the two dynasties, and was quite prestigious in the court, and was also deeply supported by those ministers who were truly incorruptible.
This Duke Wen is a person that the prince and the second prince both want to woo, but this old guy doesn't eat hard and soft, and even the king of Chu has to respect him for three points. So the crown prince and the second prince are helpless.
It didn't work to win over directly, so the second prince changed his strategy and turned to win over Yun Feiyang, a waste, in order to win the favor of Wen Guogong.
At this moment, another minister came in, and there was a commotion in the rear, and many people greeted the comer.
"Marshal Simon, morning!"
"Simon, you are getting more and more energetic, looking at your happy face, I'm afraid there is something very good!"
……
Marshal Ximen, who was dressed in golden armor, had a red light on his face, and kept responding with a smile, "Haha, what's the big thing, it's just that the little girl Ximen Yue broke through to the third layer of Tuomai yesterday!" He said modestly, but his face was full of pride.
Among all the princes, only the second prince broke through to the third layer of the Tuomai. Now, her own daughter has also reached this cultivation, and because of Yun Feiyang's guidance, her cultivation is more abundant and her strength is greater. In terms of age, Ximen Yue is also one year younger than the second prince. The tiger father has no dog son, and his daughter can achieve such an achievement on the way of cultivation, Marshal Ximen can't help but be overjoyed.
He smiled all the way and walked to the front of the general, never looking at Yun Feiyang.
Even Yun Feiyang deliberately looked at him, but he turned a blind eye. Yun Feiyang couldn't help but feel nervous, Marshal Ximen had such an attitude, and he didn't know if he would help himself plead and speak when he was on the agenda.
"Bell Bell Bell ......"
The huge bell in the corridor outside the hall rang eighteen times in a row, and the door of the inner hall opened violently, and a high-pitched eunuch sang loudly, "Princes and ministers, please enter the palace!" Everyone hurriedly straightened their appearances, and entered the Jinluan Treasure Hall in line order with serious expressions.
The king of Chu, supported by his personal eunuch Liu Gonggong, walked out quickly, and when he arrived in front of the dragon chair, his majestic gaze swept towards everyone below.
"The ministers have finished knocking, I wish my king long live, long live!" The courtiers and the princes all knelt down. Above the court, there are many rules and strict etiquette.
"Zhu Qing is flat!" The king of Chu is already close to his age, and he may be overindulged, and the whole person looks even older. He sat down on the dragon chair, and the great eunuch Liu Gonggong behind him immediately sang in a sharp voice, "There is a book to play!" ”
Immediately, one by one, the ministers came out to perform the work. When it was almost time, Wen Guogong stepped forward and saluted the king of Chu and said, "Bi, the strange poison attacks in the body of the ninth prince are more frequent, and the imperial doctors are helpless. It was put forward by the ninth prince himself, and he implored him to give him the black tendons and gall in the treasury, or he could fight poison and create miracles. ”
Suddenly, all the ministers were talking, and they swept their eyes to the Nine Princes, who had been ignored.
"Oh, Feiyang, are you really sure that the black Jiao tendon and gall can cure the strange poison in your body?" King Chu's slightly dazed gaze swept towards the clouds flying at the end of the standing prince. For this youngest son, the king of Chu almost forgot about him. After all, he was born by himself, his blood is thicker than water, and he has some feelings. As long as he can really cure his son's evil disease, he has no black tendons and gall.
Yun Feiyang walked out of the queue unhurriedly, waved his hand, and said loudly, "Back to my father, the imperial doctor diagnosed that the child would not live for more than two months, and using black tendons and gall to fight poison with poison is dangerous, but it is also the only way to try." I beg my father to fulfill it! Saying that, Yun Feiyang knelt down.
The king of Chu looked at his thin ninth son, his eyes were pitying, and he was about to agree, but the prince stepped forward and said loudly, "Father, don't do it!" The ninth brother is already weak, and the black Jiao is the most poisonous thing in the world, and I am afraid that it will be fatal in an instant. As the saying goes, it's better to die than to live, the ninth brother is a waste person anyway, and he can live for a day. Erchen thinks there is no need to take such a risk. Besides, the price of black tendons and gall is expensive, and the treasury is empty. ”
Yun Feiyang's face was swollen red when he heard this, the prince's words were too much. Clearly scolding him, a waste is not worthy of such an expensive drug.
When the prince spoke, the princes and ministers who supported him immediately seconded the proposal. The king of Chu is a person who has no opinions, otherwise he would not often be influenced by the queen and the concubine in his own decision-making. He couldn't help but hesitate.
Yun Feiyang was in a hurry, this was an important moment related to his own life. He knows his father's temperament very well, if he doesn't get it this time, the queen and the concubine get the news, and as soon as the wind blows on the pillow, it will be even more impossible to get it again. It is necessary to take advantage of the fact that the queen and the concubine are not prepared, so that the father and the king will immediately give permission.
He couldn't help but look at Marshal Ximen, he tried his best to help and guide Marshal Ximen's two daughters to cultivate, and Marshal Ximen even promised to marry Ximen Yue to himself. is equivalent to his future father-in-law, such a small favor is not difficult to help.
Who knew that Marshal Simon turned a blind eye to his gaze for help, his face was expressionless, and he had no intention of helping at all.
The second prince's eyes flashed, and a meaningful expression appeared on his face, this Marshal Ximen's performance today is very worthy of scrutiny! He and the prince are opponents, and he wants to do what the prince prevents. And the second prince believes that he has done Yun Feiyang a great favor today, and he will definitely be able to gain the favor of Wen Guogong and Yun Feiyang.
"Father, my son-in-law thinks that things are man-made, and the ninth brother wants to fight for his life with the sky, which is the heroic nature of my Yun family's royal bloodline. It can show the immortal spirit of my Yun family and the sky. Even if there is only a 10% chance, it is worth it. The ninth brother has always been calm and wise, and he plans before acting. If he dares to ask for black tendons and guts, he must have a certain certainty. Therefore, the son begs his father for permission! ”
The weight of the second prince is much heavier than Marshal Simon, and he is one of the four generalissimos of the Chu State. And there are many supporters, and this statement immediately suppressed the prince.
The king of Chu is a person who is very happy, and when he heard the four words of heroism, his face suddenly became bright, and his eyes brightened a lot.
"Okay, according to what Feiyang said, this king is approved! Flying, do your best, and if you need anything, go to the treasury and withdraw it! The king of Chu made a decision on the spot, and the final word was made. The king is a man of his word, and he is not a child's play.
Yun Feiyang was still a little uneasy, after all, the power of the queen and the crown prince was too great, and they had to be quick and not give the other party a chance to react.
"Son-in-law, thank your father, Wang Tian's grace! Time is pressing, the son of the minister retired first, and immediately went to the treasury to withdraw! ”
"Give him a voucher for withdrawal!" The king of Chu ordered Gonggong Liu behind him. Gonggong Liu didn't dare to slack off, and immediately opened a voucher, asked the king of Chu to add a seal, and then sent it to Yun Feiyang with his own hands.
