Chapter 392: The Imperial City Takes the Throne 46
As soon as the high priest returned to the temple, he was warmly welcomed by the temple, some said that they would take the wind and wash the dust for him, and some said that they must not give up, and they must give the prince a little color to see if he knows the height of the sky.
Then, in the midst of a chattering exchange of people, the high priest was surrounded and walked into the temple.
Immediately afterwards, the first task assigned to them by the high priest was to sing the praises of the prince's filial piety and touching the heavens, the righteousness and the great achievements...... In short, there is a good word, just stick it on Luo Jia.
The clergy of the temple were stunned, what was going on? How could a high priest go to such great lengths for a prince? Where is this emperor's face gone?! The Emperor is not dead!
But think about it, even if the emperor is not dead, it is no different from dead, because the power is completely hollowed out.
"High Priest, why should we help the prince?" A boy who was close to the High Priest was pushed up by a group of his seniors, and he asked cautiously with a grudge.
The high priest changed his clothes, washed his hair, and now looked wet, embracing the temptation of the beauty to take a bath.
The boy glanced at the high priest's slightly open robe, the still graceful collarbone, and swallowed, and he blinked with a pair of big eyes.
The high priest sat on his white jade chair, one hand propped up on the armrest, half supported his head, and half on the other foot.
He was holding a book in one hand when he saw the boy come up and ask questions. His azure eyes swept over the people around him, and he showed his usual flickering smile, and said, "Because during the days when the priest was under house arrest by Luo Jia, he received an oracle, and God told me that the crown prince Luo Jia is the destiny of heaven, so we want to settle the old suspicions with him and help him ascend to the throne." ”
"It turns out that the high priest has received an oracle!" The boy suddenly realized, he turned his head and said to the person behind him: "Do you hear me? The reason why the high priest did this. It was guided by God! ”
The men hurriedly silenced the boy. If the high priest knew that they were suspicious of him, it would hurt his kind and gentle heart.
Kind and gentle? Was this man a high priest? It seems that everyone has been poisoned by this high priest.
Just as the crowd fled in panic, the high priest suddenly turned his head and looked at the men. Smile slightly. Said: "Since everyone is here." Just come and sit down. ”
The priests looked embarrassed and walked over slowly, "High priest." Don't be offended, we're just ......"
I'm just afraid you're an imposter! The high priest can see through what they are thinking at a glance, and there is no need to read the mind at all, these people have everything written on their faces, how can such a simple person be a good clergyman?
The high priest was extremely worried about the future of the temple, but on the face, he still looked kind, and said: "I don't care, as long as you have questions, everyone can raise them, God's favorite thing is to chase the truth, always maintain curiosity, studious people, if you don't understand anything, you can ask me." ”
"High Priest!!" The crowd burst into tears, and the high priest was so kind to them that he treated them with a forgiving heart, no matter what kind of doubts he faced, which really left them speechless!
"High Priest, we are sorry for you! Just now, we stupid people actually doubted your authenticity, and please punish us! The chief priest was so excited that he began to weep.
Because this man began to cry, and the others wept with him, the high priest was startled, and his whole body shrank back, and these people did not have any fault, but they were a little more devout to him, and he coughed dryly, and said, "Please stop weeping, God has passed, and we must forgive those who have made mistakes, so that everyone can be united in their hearts for good." ”
The crowd burst into tears, the high priest had spoken so well!
But the high priest secretly wiped his sweat, is that what he just said? It's been so long since I've read the holy scriptures, and I can't remember all the sentences!
All in all, under the "persuasion of the high priest", everyone began to actively spread the good stories of Luo Jia, whether he had it or not, as long as it was good, it was fine, and the people of the temple could not do anything else, but the storytelling was first-class!
The temple's actions are very subtle, but who else can cause such a big sensation in such a short period of time? Therefore, those who have a heart can see at a glance that Luo Jia has formed an alliance with the temple!
Among them, the least calm is Pingning, because after Luo Jia learned from the high priest that he had formed an alliance with Wei Xianzhong, he immediately sent troops to the prince's mansion to "invite" him to reminisce about the past.
It was also thanks to Wei Xianzhong who inserted eyeliner in the prince's people that he could get the news in time, and before the prince's soldiers and horses arrived at the annex where Pingning was located, Wei Xianzhong had already taken Pingning away earlier, so he escaped.
But this is also equivalent to admitting her alliance with Wei Xianzhong, and it is also involved in the battle for succession.
Now, Pingning is arranged by Wei Xianzhong in a restaurant, although there are many people, but there is also a saying that the most dangerous place may be the safest place.
Therefore, there is no safety danger in Pingning for the time being, but she is not calm at all.
At this moment, Ping Ning was walking around the house, his face was gloomy, "Oh no! Oops! It's all over! ”
In contrast, Wei Xianzhong, who can still sit and drink tea calmly, Father-in-law Wei, is much calmer, he saw Ping Ning with a bitter face, smiled, and said, "Why is Her Royal Highness the princess so alarmed? The matter of the alliance between you and me, sooner or later, will be exposed. ”
"But it's too early!" Ping Ning said unhappily, she couldn't help frowning when she saw that Wei Xianzhong was still so calm, and asked, "Grandpa Wei, how can you be so calm?" The situation is extremely unfavorable for us now! ”
"Oh? How can the princess see it? Wei Xianzhong blew away the white smoke from the tea and asked leisurely.
"Not to mention where Luo Jia learned about my alliance with you, but just look at the alliance between the temple and Luo Jia, this matter is extremely unfavorable to us, and now the people are singing high to Luo Jia, this is a great righteousness!"
"Hehe, it looks like this, it's really like this!" Wei Xianzhong took a sip of tea, looked at Ping Ning again, and chuckled: "Then what does the princess think about now?" ”
"You ask me what to do?" Ping Ning breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she didn't plan to stir up this troubled water, but Wei Xianzhong remembered her, but now it's good, it's a foregone conclusion, she stabbed the basket, and was hated by Luo Jia, but let her think of a way, this person is idle!
However, Ping Ning also knew that now was not the time to quarrel, so she did a few more laps, then sat on the stool, brought herself a cup of tea, drank it all, and the next second, spit it out again.
Wei Xianzhong covered his face with his hands very calmly, blocking all the tea on his sleeves, while Ping Ning stuck out his tongue and fanned the wind very unvividly,, who made the tea? Almost scalded.
"This tea is brewed in boiling water, didn't you see that I just blew it several times before drinking it?" Although he said so, Wei Xianzhong did not mean to blame at all, but took out the wet wipes with a gentle face, and wanted to wipe the water stains on the corners of Pingning's mouth.
However, after being flashed by Ping Ning, she took Wei Xianzhong's wet wipes, wiped the water stains from the corners of her mouth, and said, "Did I pay attention to you!" ”
"Huh...... Then you'll have to keep an eye on me in the future. Wei Xianzhong said lightly.
Ping Ning shrugged his shoulders indifferently, then put on a serious face, and said: "Now the situation is extremely unfavorable for us, Luo Jia knows that I secretly yin him, and he must hate me so much that his teeth itch, at this time, we can only wait and see what happens!" ”
Wei Xianzhong's eyes lit up, like a cultivated flower bone finally spoke, and he said very happily: "Do you think you are waiting to see what happens now?" ”
Ping Ning nodded very affirmatively, she analyzed and said: "Of course, although the high priest and Luo Jia have formed an alliance, for us, it is not without the slightest benefit, those vassal kings who are eyeing the throne, the prince and princess will definitely make some moves, at this time, as long as we can stabilize and let them go dog to dog, it won't be long before we can naturally get a result." ”
Saying that, Ping Ning paused, and said: "The most important thing to pay attention to now is Zhen Ning's movements, didn't you say that she went to Jiangdu after detoxification?" It would be interesting if I could encourage her to do so. ”
"Heh, you're quite calm about the fact that Zhen Ning is still alive~" Wei Xianzhong poured a cup of tea for Ping Ning.
Ping Ning glanced at the cup of tea with fear, and was still apprehensive about what happened just now, Wei Xianzhong glanced at it and said lightly: "Don't worry, I tested the water temperature, and it's just right to drink it now." ”
When Ping Ning heard this, she took a sip, the water temperature is much better now, she put down the cup and continued: "Can I not be calm? Judging from the current situation, it is in our best interest for Zhen Ning to be alive! ”
"Hehe, that's right, I think so too, don't worry, when the high priest formed an alliance with Luo Jia, it was spread to Jiangdu early in the morning, Princess Zhen Ning will definitely make a move, now you just take it obediently, don't be discovered."
Saying that, Wei Xianzhong stood up, as if he was going out, and when Ping Ning saw it, he asked with some curiosity, "Where are you going?" ”
Wei Xianzhong turned his head, smiled at her, and asked, "When did the princess care so much about my affairs?" ”
Ping Ning choked, she pursed her lips and said, "Aren't we allies now?" Of course I want to know where you're going. ”
Wei Xianzhong didn't say much, just said: "Recently, the wind has been tight, I have to go to the Wei family, and let them pay attention not to Luo Jia to grab the handle." ”
Hearing this, Ping Ning nodded, yes, since Luo Jia knew about her alliance with Wei Xianzhong, they would definitely not be able to hide the alliance with the Wei family, "Then you go quickly." ”
Wei Xianzhong was about to leave, but Ping Ning stopped him again, "Huh...... That one...... Well, be careful on the road. ”
"And, does the princess care about me?" Wei Xianzhong smiled.
Ping Ning pursed his lips and said duplicitously: "I just don't want to lose an ally." (To be continued.) )
