Chapter 82: A Farce
"It's a secret, I won't tell you." Chang'an was rarely playful once, and Xianchen didn't care about him, and continued to enjoy this charming scenery. The air was very quiet, and in the face of the sudden silence, neither of them felt embarrassed, but there was a faint warmth mixed in it, which made people feel very comfortable.
When I returned to Shengming Palace, it was already a child's time, and Xianchen had been tired all the way, and he had tossed for so much of the night, and he had already yawned for a long time. Fortunately, Chang'an was considerate and had already prepared a side courtyard, so that Xianchen lived there directly.
This was also discovered later in Chang'an, Xianchen has a slight habit of recognizing beds, so the most familiar place in this Shengming Palace should be the side courtyard where she lived last time, although it can't completely make her unaffected by recognizing beds, at least it can reduce some of the impact relatively speaking.
A good night's sleep.
Xian Chen's habits over the years, no matter how late he slept the night before, he could always get up on time the next day to practice his sword. The industry is good at diligence and frolic, and the line is successful in thinking and destroying. Even though Xianchen's martial arts have improved a lot now, she still insists on practicing every day, so as not to disappear her martial arts in a too comfortable environment without realizing it.
Chang'an here has also risen, and I wanted to go over to see if Xianchen slept well, but halfway through, I remembered that today was a routine morning day. This has to be long-winded, the system of falling snow is similar to that of Dali, but as the prince of falling snow, as long as he performs the crown ceremony, he must go to the court to participate in the deliberations of the court on this day of every month. It was Chang'an who hurriedly changed into a purple mandala court dress and went to the palace.
"The king has arrived!" The deliberately elongated tone of the inner waiter's duck's throat sounded, and the court, which had just been talking, was instantly silent.
"The ministers greet the king, and the king is blessed with peace and security." The ministers bowed.
"All Aiqing is exempt, let's be even." Xue Feiming sat on the chair carved with a dragon and a phoenix, and said in a deep voice, "I believe that you Aiqing have discussed it many times in private, now that you are old, the princes are all adults, according to Luoxue's ancestral system, a new heir should be established, I don't know what you Aiqing thinks?" ”
Although many people had already expected that today's court would discuss this, none of the people present expected that the king would bring it up so bluntly in front of several princes. For a while, the court was like an explosion, everyone was discussing something, and the buzzing sound was upsetting.
Xue Feiming looked at the courtiers below, his eyes swept over his sons, and his expression was obscure. After waiting for a while, it was estimated that the next person had already discussed it, and Xue Feiming coughed twice, and the court returned to quiet.
"How did the Aiqing discuss it?"
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that these four princes are all dragons and phoenixes among people, but it's really hard to decide!" The man's voice was old, and Xue Feiming still wanted to hear what henchmen these good sons had secretly colluded with in the past two years, but who knew that they were all hidden.
"Do other Aiqing think the same way?" After Xue Feiming snorted, he turned his gaze to the others. The court was silent, and no one came out to answer for a while.
"In this case, I thought that all four princes should be put on the battlefield to temper, and whoever is more powerful will be the king of the snow in the future!" Xue Feiming directly said the result he had decided a long time ago, and his attitude was resolute and unquestionable.
"Wang, the minister thinks it is impossible, now the snow country is peaceful and the people are safe, the north country and Dali are recuperating, and the war at this time is very unfavorable to the falling snow. The minister heard that the undefeated god of war in the north back then, Ning Zhan, would start a war against Dali because of His Royal Highness Xian Chen, if Luoxue took the initiative to start a war now, it would be difficult to protect Ningzhan and would not attack Luoxue again for Her Royal Highness the Princess. When the time comes, the snow will be defeated by the enemy! ”
"Aiqing is also reasonable, otherwise, among the royal families of the Three Kingdoms, only Her Royal Highness Princess Sheng Xianchen has not yet left the cabinet, it is better for Luoxue and Da Li Yong to marry Qin and Jin, so Luoxue's position can be regarded as stable, how about it?" Xue Feiming's words are completely illogical, the Three Kingdoms did not go to war at this time, and as the king of a country, he is now saying such things, which is really incredible.
The four princes are now above the court, and the eldest prince Xue Qianye has an indifferent expression, and no one can see any of them. The second prince Xue Qianling is as honest as ever, but the third prince is a little impatient, and the wolf ambition in his eyes can be seen at a glance. Chang'an watched coldly, looking like he had nothing to do with himself, which made Xue Feiming frown.
Chang'an didn't miss this slight change in Xue Feiming, the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer, and he stood aside with his arms crossed, facing everyone's opinions, Chang'an was indifferent.
Really.
"Wang, the minister thinks that now that Dali and the northern kingdom are not at war, and the emperor of Dali has just returned, there must be many things in the court that need to be rectified, and it should not be so quick to start a war with the northern kingdom. At this time, if Luoxue rashly marries Da Li, it will make people look down on Luoxue and not talk about it, and it is very likely to cause the hatred of the northern country. The minister thought that the heir could be decided in other ways. ”
"Oh~ What is Aiqing's good proposal? Let's talk about it. Xue Feiming leaned forward slightly, revealing a very interested look.
"Wang, the minister thought that now it was possible to hold a conference of the three kingdoms and invite all the people of the three kingdoms to attend. You can choose to play against each other in poetry or in a contest, so that if any one of our four princes wins the Three Kingdoms Conference, he will be the heir to Luoxue! What did the king think? ”
The corners of Xue Feiming's lips are interestingly hooked, and Chang'an can see it clearly. looked at the minister who said this, obviously Xue Feiming's henchman. All of this was planned by his father.
Chang'an came out of the ranks, "Father, sons and daughters are willing to withdraw from this competition!" One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and it seemed that everyone's eyes were focused on Chang'an's body in an instant.
Xue Feiming's face was a little unbearable, and he asked others to put forward this decision in front of these people, in order to let Chang'an take care of his face and not say anything like quitting in front of everyone, who knew that Chang'an would still choose to speak out!
Of course, Chang'an would not be so brainless, "Father, as the young master of the Shengming Palace selected by the Holy Pearl, Erchen thinks that he is no longer qualified to participate in this competition. Of course, Erchen didn't think that he would definitely win this competition, but everything was just in case. The father's words will be released by then, if the sons and daughters are lucky to win, I am afraid that the people of Luoxue will be unstable. ”
The ministers began to stir again.
Indeed, His Royal Highness Prince Xue Qianli has a point. There will never be a mistake in the choice of the holy pearl, and Luoxue, as a country where divine power and royal power interact, it is already a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the young master to be selected in the royal family. Now, in case His Royal Highness Xue Qianli really wins the Three Kingdoms Conference, then the divine power and the royal power will be in the hands of one person, but I am afraid that it will be very disadvantageous!
Listening to the voices around him, Chang'an knew that he had gained the upper hand in this silent battle.
"Wang, the fourth prince has a point. In the thousands of years since Luoxue has been in charge, there has never been a situation where divine power and royal power have been held by one person, and Wang Sansi is also invited. "Having said that, Xue Feiming just wants Chang'an to participate in the competition, I'm afraid it's not very possible. It's just that this Three Kingdoms Conference was originally held for Chang'an, but I didn't expect him to make a good move, Xue Feiming sighed almost invisibly, it's just that, let him go!
"Well, it's ill-conceived, that's it...... Then the Three Nations Conference will be canceled. ”
"Huh?" The ministers shouted in unison, and then reacted: "Yes." "It's ridiculous.
originally thought that since these four princes did not participate, then the Three Kingdoms Conference would be attended by the remaining three people, but no one expected that the king would be so partial to His Royal Highness, because he did not participate, so he directly canceled the competition.
Xue Feiming was in a very depressed mood, and he didn't have the patience to sit here anymore and listen to the ministers' discussions, so he waved his sleeves and walked out of the hall directly. The ministers looked at their freewheeling king, looking at his rather elegant figure, and suddenly felt headache and helplessness.
Chang'an was about to leave, but was blocked by Xue Qianyuan. "Xue Qianli, you just want your father to think that you really don't covet that throne, right? My father has been partial to you since he was a child, and he can't see your wishful thinking, but I know everything. Now that my father is gone, you don't have to pretend that you don't want anything, do you? ”
Chang'an glanced at him lightly, "Brother Wang, no matter what you think, what Qianli said in the palace today is from the bottom of his heart." That's all I say, I hope Brother Wang cherishes it! Chang'an saluted, and then crossed the snow kite and walked out of the hall.
People who do good things naturally did not miss this scene, in fact, many people know that the three princes are bound to win the throne, although his efforts are seen by everyone, but the king does not seem to care. Now it is even more blatant to favor His Royal Highness, which may have angered the third prince.
Snow Kite receives sympathetic or mocking glances from her surroundings, and feels like a clown stripped of her clothes and placed on display on the street. His cold gaze swept towards those people, his fists clenched, and his face became even more gloomy and terrifying. The ministers fled the hall one after another, and Xue Qianye stepped forward and patted Xue Qianyu's shoulder gently, "Brother Wang really doesn't have to be like this, my father has been more partial to the fourth brother since he was a child, and he has always been conniving at what he does. The third brother really doesn't have to be so careful. ”
Then Xue Qianling also stepped forward and patted Xue Qianyuan on the shoulder, which made Xue Qianyuan even more unhappy. He has always looked down on this honest and honest second brother, and when he was young, he thought he was really good-tempered and doted on his younger brother. Later, when I grew up, I found out that this is a good temper, is it simply weak and bullied? Xue Qianling disdains this kind of person the most, and now seeing Xue Qianling come to comfort him, he is really about to blow up his lungs! (To be continued.) )
