Chapter 306: Covering Your Face

Huan'er came in with a teapot to add water to the tea concubine, and carefully said a few words in her ear, "Niangniang, I heard that there is also movement on the queen's side, the door has been closed for the past few days, and I don't know who I saw inside." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Cha Guifei snorted coldly, "What else can she do, her son is already half a waste, no matter how he trains, he can't be the king of a country." ”

Huan'er raised the corners of her mouth and smiled, "That's what Niangniang said." Although she always felt that the queen didn't want to be without a recruit, since the master said that there was no such thing, then she would not talk much.

Let's say that in the queen's palace, there is no banquet, the prince and the queen are playing chess.

The incense burner next to him was lit with incense, a little strong, the prince's clear eyes looked at the sunspot on the chessboard, and he took a breath gently, and the queen immediately looked at him, "How, is there any discomfort?" ”

"Don't worry, if you have dragon whiskers, you can be sober for one to two hours."

Then the queen mother was relieved. You should rest for a while, and don't use your mind too much. Later, first and some decoction to nourish the body, take care of your spirit, and the day after tomorrow will be a tough battle. ”

"The queen mother doesn't have to worry, the child is measured."

There was a calm look in the prince's calm eyes, and the queen was stunned for a moment. Although this is the moment when her son is awake that she can see in the past half a year, it is too short after all, and the dragon beard incense is very precious and difficult to find, otherwise she would definitely buy it all and use it on her son, so that he can recover as soon as possible.

At present, there is a crown prince inheritance ceremony, and she must stabilize her son's position, so Long Xuxiang can only save a little. After the ceremony, she will take care of her son's condition.

The crown prince asked again, "Queen Mother, how sure are we about the position of prince this time?" ”

The queen hesitated, "I don't have a lot of certainty, but if you can deal with it steadily, you will have eight points." ”

"Eight points?" The prince couldn't figure out where the queen mother's faith came from.

"You are the orthodox prince, if you recover your sanity, even if most of the ministers of the court and the central government are now oriented towards the king, they will defect, orthodoxy cannot be abolished, you are the prince who is rightful in name."

When the prince heard her say this, he couldn't help but remind, "The eldest brother has returned, he has the support of the Xi clan, and the queen mother, I'm afraid I won't be able to pass this hurdle." The influence of the Xi clan has always been above the imperial power, as long as they choose the eldest brother, then all the courtiers, even the father, have no way to oppose it. ”

"Xi clan," the queen dropped a white piece on the chessboard, "as long as the Xi clan uses it well, it can also be used by us." ”

"Mother, do you have a plan?"

"My son, don't worry, the Xi clan can't make many waves in the hands of the queen mother. If they also attend the prince's succession ceremony, they will only rely on the foreshadowing of a cigarette, and the queen mother will not believe in Buddhism and will have her own way to deal with it. ”

The prince's gaze sank. He has always been very clear about the mother's thoughts, for his illness, he has been running for more than ten years, and now he is not sick, but he is afraid of giving her greater hope, so he does not dress up from time to time, so that she will not be too sad, and will not have too much hope.

If there is no official Qianyi to return to China this time, and there is no Sui clan to intervene, he is sure that he can succeed to the position of the crown prince, but Guan Qianyi, a person who was originally a proton, became the regent in Beichen Kingdom, and he knew that he couldn't fight him. Aside from believing that he is really not interested in the throne, he does not have any strength to compete with at the moment. I had to wait and see what happened.

Li Wei was still in a panic in the house, thinking about how to support the guards, the sun was already setting in the west, at this time, Ding Bei and Ding Da came to report, saying that they heard that the elder brother of the tea concubine had transferred a lot of troops into Beijing, although it was ordered by the king to guard Kyoto, but there were a lot of guards mixed in, I am afraid that it was to rebel against something.

"I see. Where did Guan Qianyi go today? Li Wei also asked casually, but Ding Bei replied, "The prince went to the elders of the Sui clan." I went early in the morning and haven't come out yet. ”

What is it that has been talked about for so long? Wasn't the crown prince's ceremony ready for a long time?

And at this moment, the old man of the Sui clan, with his white hair and gray beard, was shaking violently, and his eyes were a little cloudy and shrewd, but he exuded anger, looking at the person in front of him:

"You're threatening me?"

How familiar this is. On the first day when the two returned to Xiyu and entered the palace, did the clan elder forget that he had also been threatened.

Guan Qianyi raised his eyebrows: "The clan elder said yes." ”

The old face of the amo tribe couldn't hold it, so he got up suddenly, took a cane and paced back and forth in the house, as if he didn't think of how to deal with the hard bones in front of him, but the crutches knocked on the ground.

Guan Qianyi seemed to have a chance to win, and poured himself a cup of tea. Talking to the clan elder today, he has calculated all the possibilities. The history of the Sui nationality for hundreds of years has reached the generation of the elders, and there have been many mistakes. Back then, because of the mistake of the clan elder, the handle was left in front of him, and now, it is just right to use.

The clan elder can only care about the reputation of the Sui clan, the Sui clan is out of office to assist the emperor star, if there is no such ability, the reputation falls, then the Sui clan will be finished.

The clan elder glanced at the person in front of him with hatred, and sighed for the last time, "But now the time is too tight, tomorrow is the ceremony, and it is too late to make changes." ”

"On the prince's side, the clan elder also knows the situation, the queen has made so many preparations, and the spies have reached into the Sui clan, it is impossible for the clan elder not to notice it. The queen has made so many efforts, and there is only one purpose, and it is still easy for us to fulfill one person. ”

After Guan Qianyi left, the patriarch closed his eyes and pondered for a moment.

The doorman saw that the old room was quiet, and he didn't dare to disturb it, until the lamp was outside, and he knocked lightly on the door.

Only then did the clan elder order, "You go and invite a few other elders to come over." Something to discuss. ”

The crown prince's inheritance hall of the Xiyu Kingdom is about to begin, and the people don't have any special feelings outside the city, but they also know that the prince's side has prepared the sacrificial animals a few days ago and sent them to the east of the imperial city, and the sacrificial altar has also lit up thick fireworks, dyeing half of the sky slightly dark, and sometimes red through the entire sky.

Entering the imperial city from the north gate, the guards with cold armor and red scarf epaulettes lined up in two ways. A wide passage was left in the middle, a red carpet was paved with flowers, and hundreds of officials entered the venue one after another.

Li Wei followed Guan Qianyi's side, looked up at the smoke that kept coming out of the sky on the left, and asked with some concern, "How long does this smoke have to burn?" It's too polluted to the air. ”

Guan Qianyi bowed his head and answered, but did not answer.

She scratched the hem of her shirt and glared at him with some displeasure, and he seemed to sense her displeasure and looked down at her, "What's wrong?" Isn't it too hot? Just a little later. ”

Li Wei wanted to cry without tears, this was not only hot, but also heavy, she wore a set of clothes inside, and a robe for her outside, although it was much better than the eunuch suit, but it was too many layers, and it was thick to death. Fortunately, it was winter, otherwise it would have died of heat first.

She remembered that early this morning, he asked people to bring two sets of clothes, and it was useless for her to say anything, so she insisted on putting them on. She knew he had a plan for today, but the more she didn't say it, the more she wanted to know. Especially now, the two of them led hundreds of officials to enter, and when she was dressed so handsome, the two were still holding hands?

Li Wei had already felt the angry gazes of the Xiyu officials along the way.

It seems that his own prince really doesn't want this throne.

The sacrificial Temple of Heaven is three layers high, the red tile is Phnom Penh, the six lions are guarding the direction, the lower floor is very high, a big golden tripod is set up in the center, there are eighty-eight small cigarettes and three two-meter big cigarettes in it to emit the incense of Na.

Hundreds of officials entered the palace in a mighty manner, crossed the fence of the coals one by one, and took a set of brown black gold polyester silk sacrificial clothes distributed by the attendants in turn and put them on, and then came to the sacrificial Temple of Heaven and sat down at the foot of the hundred steps. When Li took the clothes, he felt even more desolate in his heart, and he had another robe.

Because Li Wei was standing beside Guan Qianyi in a robe, it was naturally particularly eye-catching, and then she received the gaze of the Sui clan elder, and suddenly felt a chill, and saw the old man sitting on the right not far away, she immediately lowered her head, pulled Guan Qianyi's sleeve, and said in a low voice, "An acquaintance will recognize me." ”

Guan Qianyi took the opportunity to pull her into his arms, "Just cover your face." ”

Li Wei clearly heard the people around her gasp, and she could imagine what impact Guan Qianyi's action had on Baiguan. She wanted to be angry, but because of the bad occasion, she slammed into his chest, "The prince doesn't plan to reveal the plan to me?" ”

"You'll find out later." With that, he patted her on the back and told her to stay at ease.

"I remember when I started, I entered as an emissary, what emissary status did you arrange for me?"

"Envoy of the North Star Kingdom."

"Then you are now in the same leg as the envoy of Beichen Kingdom?"

Hearing her be straightforward and vulgar, he didn't correct it, but nodded, "It's a fact." ”

Li Wei is angry, she is a fart, in the eyes of others, she is a messenger from Beichen Kingdom who came to climb the regent bed.

She tugged at the placket of his clothes, "Lord Wang, your reply to me has become more and more perfunctory recently, and I'm going to be angry." ”

He bowed his head, "Today's business is over, as much detail as you want to talk about, you should do it." ”

Today? What else can she ask after today? She opened her mouth, and finally lay on his chest, listening to his heartbeat, it seemed that she felt a little fast, was it nervous? I've never seen him nervous.

Since she could not see the situation outside, she could only guess the progress of the ceremony from the sound of the drum bells, and after the valley bell and the sacrifices, the lengthy recitation began, and nearly an hour later, there was another lecture on the Dharma.

The humming chanting caused her to fall asleep in a daze, and when she woke up again, she heard a loud quarrel, and although he helped cover one ear, she was still awakened.

Listening to the content of the quarrel, it happened to be that Guan Qianyi was deviant and the regent of Beichen, and now everyone is unexpectedly breaking his sleeves at such an important crown prince ceremony, and he cannot inherit it!

Well, what this said is the truth, after such a straightforward accusation, King Yi remained motionless, obviously did not take everyone's words to heart, and was not ready to make any explanations, some old ministers couldn't help but turn against him, hating King Yi for not being angry, so there were a few fewer people who spoke.

Princess Lian's father was a powerful general, and he was the most supportive of Guan Qianyi, but now he heard almost the whole court against it, but the parties concerned didn't hear anything, so they could only advance and retreat.

Some people were asking for the opinions of the Sui tribe, but none of the Sui elders came out to answer the questions.

Only a few people are in favor of Guan Qianyi's return to the crown prince. This result was expected by Li Wei, and with the bold actions of the two today, she also felt that it was a miracle that there were still people supporting Guan Qianyi.

Subsequently, the host asked the elders of the Sui tribe to come forward and ask for a warning.

Li Wei turned her head slightly, squinted her eyes slightly and looked out, only to see that the children of the Sui clan sent an incense burner, the black and gold eight-legged incense burner on the outside and inside is the most important thing inherited by the Sui people for hundreds of years, it can predict the location of the next emperor star, and it is very mysterious in the eyes of outsiders.

At this time, the king invited the clan elders to light the sandalwood together, Li Wei only felt that something flashed in her mind, and then looked carefully at the two people above, especially the king's face, because she couldn't observe carefully when she entered the palace last time, now she saw something different, so she asked in a low voice, "What is the relationship between Monk Qingyi and your father?" ”

Guan Qianyi's face did not move, but he glanced into his arms, "What did Your Majesty find?" ”

Li Wei guessed that he knew, the appearance of this king was that Qingyi had added a beard, and his eyebrows and eyes were extremely similar, if the two were not brothers, I am afraid they would be father and son. The king was nearly fifty years old, and he was thirty-three, and it was possible if he were a father and son. However, she has also checked the details of the Xiyu Dynasty, and there is no such a big prince.

But for a while, she couldn't sort out the relationship, and Suo Xing continued to watch the play.

At this time, the incense burner had been lit, and the hundred officials and the group of women in the harem were staring at each other, and the tea concubine kept her expression very calm, but her eyes looked at the old man from time to time, and the old man who stood by the incense burner with his eyes closed and recited the words, and his eyebrows were faintly excited with anticipation.

Li Wei also felt normal when she saw this situation, but the queen only stared at the incense burner on the side, which made it seem that the tea concubine was a little strange, even if she could have a good relationship with the former national teacher and the elderly, and secretly cooperated, but she looked at the old man of the clan.

Then, she suddenly made another astonishing discovery: the clan elder and the elder seemed to look alike.

Could it be that the people who came out of Xiyu Kingdom look a little similar?

This is a coincidence.

Just as he was thinking about it, the cigarettes above the incense burner turned into several colors, chasing and entangled with each other, and the speed became faster and faster, and finally there was a stream of gold left, and Yuan Na calmed down, although it was unstable, but it did not disperse.

At this time, I saw that the clan elder stretched out his hand, and the golden color seemed to have a soul, and after spinning a few times in mid-air, it slowly moved towards the seat of the hundred officials.

Everyone held their breath and saw him moving towards the three candidate princes, and they didn't dare to breathe.

However, the golden paused, twisted his head a few times, and did not want to go any further. The patriarch said a few words silently, and then stretched out his hand, and the golden advanced a few steps, and then retreated awkwardly, the patriarch was a little surprised, and secretly applied mana, but let the golden rush back, frightening him to take a few steps back.
