Gong Chengyan raised the matter of the destruction of the Taimiao in front of all the civil and military officials, and Emperor Qinglong forgave him for not having the courage to talk nonsense, so the first thing he ordered Fuquan after retiring from the dynasty was to ask him to send his henchmen to Ruishan to check.

If the temple is really damaged, then this problem is serious, and the temple keepers did not report the truth, and Emperor Qinglong had to doubt their sincerity to the royal family.

Second, if there is really a large area of damage, then according to the customs of the Northern Qin, it must be renovated, and the renovation is not so simple, we must choose a time when the time is right, the Son of Heaven eats fasting and recites the Buddha for half a month in the temple, and then holds a sacrificial activity, and then can start the renovation.

Not to mention, Taimiao is a symbol of Northern Qin, whether it is the materials or craftsmanship of repair, we must do the best, which not only consumes money, but more importantly, time.

And Emperor Qinglong himself, what he lacks most now is time.

In the side hall, Emperor Qinglong looked at Gong Chengyan with a calm face, and Tie Qing's face showed that he was in an extremely unhappy mood now.

Gong Chengyan knelt on the ground respectfully, looking a little panicked, now he no longer has the original courage, even if he is standing in front of Emperor Qinglong, he is confident in his heart, because he knows that he is useful in the eyes of Emperor Qinglong.

But now, this time, he is considered to be in ruin, if he has no achievements and disappoints Emperor Qinglong, then his official career will end here.

Because of the anxiety and lack of self-confidence, he became more and more frightened, and this dispensable feeling made him know that he had no right to negotiate at all. He could only wait for Emperor Qinglong to speak to decide his status of dignity and inferiority.

"I hope you're wrong." Emperor Qinglong was silent for a long time. Finally said with a blank face.

Gong Chengyan hurriedly bowed his head: "The minister also hopes that what he said is wrong, maybe the temple keeper is afraid of being angry with the emperor, so he concealed the matter of the Taimiao."

If the minister didn't think that the prince would eat fast and recite Buddha in the temple when he ascended the throne in the future, the minister wouldn't have let people investigate on a whim, just to ensure that everything went well for the prince, but he didn't expect-

Hey, the minister is guilty. The minister did something that worried the emperor, and the minister deserved to die. ”

"You deserve to die-ahem-" Emperor Qinglong slammed the table, angry and furious. He began to cough violently.

Fuquan hurriedly patted him on the back, and anxiously asked the little eunuch to take the medicine, and someone quickly presented a dark decoction for a night, and Fuquan served Emperor Qinglong after drinking the medicine. The latter is gradually getting better.

Gong Chengyan hung his head cautiously. But he calculated in his heart, it seemed that the news was true, Emperor Qinglong was already terminally ill, and the decoction was brought up too quickly just now, and it was obviously the little eunuch who was always ready next to him.

What kind of disease is it that makes him need to drink decoction medicine all the time to relieve the pain, and is there any cure for this disease?

Gong Chengyan can only make his own judgment on these questions. Yesterday he wasn't sure, but now he can't help but let go of it. At least judging from this result, Emperor Qinglong is really running out of time.

This is also why he would bring up the matter of Taimiao at this time, because he knew that Emperor Qinglong, who knew that he would fall at any time, would definitely let Qi Mo ascend the throne as soon as possible.

Maybe before today, Emperor Qinglong was not too worried, he didn't tell anyone about his illness, as long as he found an excuse to let Qi Mo ascend the throne, he could recuperate with peace of mind, and no one would know.

But now it's different, if the Taimiao Temple is really damaged, then Qi Mo will not be able to ascend the throne for at least a year, but can Emperor Qinglong last so long?

Finally stopped coughing, Emperor Qinglong asked Gong Chengyan in a threatening voice: "What did you see just now?" What do you hear? What did you guess in your heart? ”

Gong Chengyan raised his head slightly, and said seriously: "The minister saw that the emperor was angry because of the minister's words, but the emperor was blessed by a real dragon and the gods, and any illness could not help you, and the minister saw the emperor's health and the prosperity of Northern Qin."

The emperor must be ready to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come down to pick up the burden of Northern Qin, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is young and promising, he is a rare genius, and Northern Qin will definitely be able to dominate the world under his leadership. ”

Emperor Qinglong snorted coldly angrily: "Hmph, you will say, do you know that you have already walked away from the ghost gate just now." ”

Gong Chengyan chuckled in his heart, and immediately kowtowed: "Thank you for the emperor's grace not to kill, the emperor takes good care of the ministers, and the ministers are loyal to the emperor."

The minister knows that the emperor is worried that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be bewitched by treacherous villains, so the minister will put forward those words in the court.

Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the person in charge of repairing the temple this time is none other than Lord Counsellor, and he will definitely disappoint you, Your Majesty. ”

Emperor Qinglong's eyes lit up, and he chuckled, and then he began to laugh, "Okay, you Gong Chengyan, or do you know my thoughts-

Okay, for the sake of you giving me such a good idea, I will leave you the post of governor in the future. ”

Gong Chengyan had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and kowtowed happily and said: "Thank you to the emperor, the responsibility of the minister is to solve problems for the emperor, and it is the honor of the minister to be able to do things for the emperor." ”

Emperor Qinglong felt happy in his heart, and a feeling of discomfort surged in his heart, his throat itched, and he began to cough again.

Gong Chengyan hurriedly lowered his head, when he didn't hear anything and didn't see anything, he didn't stand up until Emperor Qinglong ordered him to get up, staring at his feet and waiting for Emperor Qinglong to speak.

"You can go back. Remember, the only condition you can make it out of this hall alive is that. Emperor Qinglong squinted his eyes and stared at Gong Chengyan.

Gong Chengyan immediately surrendered his hand: "The minister knows that the ministers are all on the emperor's side, and the minister knows in his heart that it is the emperor's mercy, and the ministers can live." The emperor can rest assured that the minister will definitely satisfy you in this matter. ”

Seeing that he had understood, Emperor Qinglong waved his hand and said, "Okay, these words will be left until the matter is done, you can step back first, I will call you if there is something." ”

Gong Chengyan blessed again, and then respectfully withdrew from the side hall, and after walking out of the palace gate, his cautious face with a little panic suddenly turned into a sneer.

Done, done, done-After silently reciting it countless times in his heart, a triumphant smile appeared on Gong Chengyan's face, as long as he did well this time, then he could return to his original glory again.

Ling Shandao, as long as he gets rid of him and relieves Emperor Qinglong's heart, the dawn of his palace will not be far away.

Looking at Emperor Qinglong's state, although he didn't know how long he could live, it was obviously not long, otherwise the latter would not have been so eager, and even covered up his illness.

Although Qi Mo is the crown prince, he is still too young after all, if Emperor Qinglong completely falls, then the surrounding neighbors will definitely be in trouble, so Emperor Qinglong will definitely not watch that happen, he is afraid that he will die, and he will hide it from the world.

And this happens to be the place where he can take advantage of it, the corners of Gong Chengyan's mouth hooked up a cold smile, and he finally let him see the light of day by enduring humiliation for so long. The fate of his palace Chengyan will soon be rewritten. (To be continued.) )
