Chapter Eighty-Five: The Great Tribulation
On the evening of the Wanshou Festival, a grand fireworks display was specially arranged on the banquet river. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info fireworks were not developed in this era, but a bright light burst into the sky and burst into a small flower, and even such fireworks are rare, let alone such large-scale fireworks. The people of the capital gathered on the embankment of the Yan River, and the dignitaries gathered in the teahouse and wine shop to witness this rare scene.
Nine large boats on the Yan River, from time to time change formation, sometimes a straight line, sometimes a semicircle, they are lit in turn to form different rhythms and pictures.
In a private room, the three princes stood in front of the window, and Wei Yuanhou and Su Ziluo sat on the chairs behind them, and the atmosphere was a little heavy.
"You don't want Sheng Ping to marry to Sang Kingdom?" Wei Yuanhou asked.
"Of course." The third prince replied.
"Why?"
The third prince looked back and smiled contemptuously: "She is only ten years old now, and even if she gets married, it will take four or five years, who wants to spend it with her." And the current situation is no longer easy to handle, if she wins the favor of the prince of Sang Kingdom, isn't she a powerful foreign aid? ”
Su Ziluo and Wei Yuanhou glanced at each other and said, "It is said that it is four or five years, and if you get married early, it will only be three years." I've seen this fifth prince once, the quality is good, but the temperament is weird, cloudy and uncertain, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for her to protect herself at that time, what else to talk about foreign aid? ”
"That's better, even if we really get married, we don't have to worry."
"Then why do you bother?" If Sang Guo sincerely asks for marriage, he should first pass on a book to ask Chu Guo about his intentions, instead of rashly proposing it like this. This is clearly a slap in the face, contempt, and I didn't take it seriously at all, how could the princess who married in the past be treated preferentially?
The third prince said slowly: "It's best to get rid of it directly at the moment, it's a hundred, if Sang Guo can't marry, he won't keep her." Now that his father is in strong health, how can he agree to marry his baby daughter far away? Even without me, it would be difficult for Sang Guo to get his wish. ”
Wei Yuanhou and Su Ziluo glanced at each other again, their eyes were full of solemnity, this is a young man with a weak crown, and his vision is so far-reaching! The two of them suddenly felt cramped, they couldn't be so casual in the future, after all, their identities were different, and they should be careful to abide by the duties of courtiers.
The fireworks on the Yan River were also lively, one by one, and the people were also excited.
Boom!
Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the whole ship was blown to pieces, and it seemed that the ground was shaking, and people stared blankly at the billowing smoke and the huge waves set off by the explosion.
Boom!
Before people could react, there was another loud bang, another boat was blown to pieces, and two similar boats were overturned.
The people came to their senses in shock and fled in all directions.
The people in the teahouse and restaurant were also stunned by this power, and in the blink of an eye, the two-story boat was reduced to nothing, and the huge waves set off could overturn the entire ship.
This, this is too berserk!
"Go!" The third prince said quickly.
After a while, the people sent back, "The people on the four boats that exploded and overturned have already sent people to the river to find them, and the remaining five people on the boats have been taken away by the Jingwei battalion." ”
The envoy of the Sang Kingdom was also stunned by the power of the explosion.
Firecrackers, fireworks, just gadgets for fun, and there is still such power? The Sand Messenger felt heavy for the first time, but after a few moments he recovered. If the Chu State had such a domineering thing, how could it have such an attitude? Or even if there is one, it can't be like a finger, but just take it out to deter it.
Although I figured it out in a blink of an eye, it was not as easy as before.
Hearing Yun Ruo's report the next morning, Chu Shuhuang was very calm, fireworks and gunpowder were originally of the same origin, and it was normal for such a thing to happen, alas, it would be nice if explosives were really developed.
Yun Ruo looked at Chu Shuhuang's indifferent expression, he was very surprised, everyone was stunned by such a powerful thing, the princess didn't react, it was estimated that she was troubled by Sang Guo's relatives.
"Who arranged this?" Chu Shuhuang asked.
"This matter," Yun Ruo said embarrassedly, "I haven't figured it out yet." ”
Chu Shuhuang glanced at Yun Ruo, that means that if someone really did it on purpose, it was not arranged by his own people.
I heard that it was very easy to convert gunpowder into explosives, but I couldn't, and I immediately regretted why I didn't search the Internet carefully in my previous life. It's better than nothing, although it's very inconvenient to use and less powerful, but it can still play a big role when it's critical.
The eldest prince also witnessed the fiery scene at that time, and after the shock, he was the most optimistic one. This power is really a good thing, with this thing, why is Sang Guo afraid? If someone really did this deliberately, it was obviously to deter Sang Guo, don't you want the princess to marry far away, and add another big boost to yourself, hahaha......
After the explosion, everyone was eerily silent, greeting politely as before, with a profound gesture, as if everything was expected, and there was no fuss. And in private, I tensed my mind, paid close attention to and probed all kinds of news.
For more than ten days, Yan Bin's people were still silently looking for Ye Lin, but it was a pity that they searched through the capital's officials, celebrities, and even the merchants' homes did not find Ye Lin. The person who touched the porcelain on the street that day also evaporated from the world, and Yan Bin was in a very bad mood.
The old man persuaded: "Don't worry, son, we were also demonic before, how can the little girl use her real name when she is away?" Isn't it just the young lady of the twelfth or thirteen-year-old rich family in the capital, after all, we are outsiders, and we can't find it for a while, it's normal, can we still find it in two or three years? ”
Yan Bin listened to the old man's words, his mood was much better, and he nodded and said, "Mr. is right." "The man he has his eye on is his.
The old man saw that his mood was better, and said tentatively: "I heard that there is a foreign monk with crane hair and a childish face and fairy wind bones in Puning Temple in the south of the capital, and he has let people spread the word that Princess Shengping has a catastrophe......
"What's my business?" Yan Bin interrupted the old man's words, rushed out, and then felt that it was inappropriate, and said apologetically: "Sir, it doesn't matter what irrelevant people do to her, just be busy with our own affairs." "He'll go back and theorize with that guy.
"Okay." His attitude was so fierce that the old man no longer insisted.
Although the Emperor of Chu does not advocate Buddhism, he will not embarrass these monks, and at this time, the queen is summoning the master of Puning Temple in the palace. This is a very rare thing, and the Master of Clearance remembers the last time he entered the palace was when the first emperor collapsed.
"I don't know where Master Yi learned from?" The queen asked.
Master Jingkong was a little embarrassed, this master of Zen did not pay attention to the rules and regulations, and the shouting capital knew that Shengping had a catastrophe, so he turned around and went to Puning Temple to make a cat and let him clean up the mess.
He can't say no yet......
