Chapter 399: The Imperial City Takes the Throne 53
How could Qiu Yue be outside the temple? Luo Jia was extremely surprised, and what was even more strange was that no one was frightened by his eyes.
I saw a group of children surrounding Qiu Yue, all with smiles on their faces, as if they were talking about something interesting, and even Qiu Yue was smiling and enjoying it.
How so? This was completely different from what he expected, could it be that the high priest did something?
In the corner of the Luo Jia Temple, looking at this harmonious scene, I felt that I was the one who was superfluous.
Soon, Qiu Yue noticed Luo Jia's existence, what he said to the children, but the children did not forgive, he was very troubled, and then after promising something, the children let go of his hand.
"Luo Jia, why are you here?" Qiu Yue asked curiously, at this time, he shouldn't have time to come over.
Luo Jia's eyes scrutinized Qiu Yue's face, and after a few days, instead of becoming haggard because of the "persecution" of the temple, he looked very happy, and there was more flesh on his face, and he seemed to be doing well.
Luo Jia's hand was clenched into a fist, although Qiu Yue could live a good life, he was also very good, but somewhere in his heart he was depressed, and he always felt that what belonged to him was taken away by others.
After Qiu Yue asked for a while, Luo Jia smiled and said, "There is something to find the high priest, so I came over." ”
Qiu Yue nodded, he glanced back at the high priest who was still reciting the Bible, he was wearing a white priest's robe, and his long golden hair was shining like broken gold in the sunlight, which was particularly dazzling. It's like the gods descending from the heavens.
When he first saw the high priest put on a priestly robe and read the Bible, he was really amazed, that person, like the savior of all beings, who didn't have to do anything, just sat there, he could give people spiritual comfort.
It's ironic that people who seem to be so holy are actually mortals with seven emotions and six desires.
Qiu Yue looked at the high priest and smiled. joked to Luo Jia: "What a sanctimonious person." What do you think? ”
"I think so too." Luo Jia laughed coldly, Qiu Yue sensitively noticed that Luo Jia's mood was not very good, and thought that it was probably the rumors that suddenly popped up recently made him very annoyed.
He was a little worried, and was about to open his mouth to ask questions. At this time, the high priest had just finished reciting. After the crowd dispersed. He walked over to this side, put his hand on Qiu Yue's shoulder very familiarly, and asked, "The prince has a lot of opportunities." How did it come? ”
Luo Jia glanced at the high priest lightly, and then his gaze fell on the hand he put on Qiu Yue's shoulder, his eyes sank, and he said with a smile: "I have something to ask the high priest." ”
"Oh? Is there anything that could have caused His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come in the first place? If you have something, just call me directly. ”
"After all, you are the high priest of the kingdom of Jaya, how can I call you casually? The High Priest really laughs. ”
Luo Jia's words were tingling, now as long as it is a person, he probably knows that he is not in a good mood, the high priest smiled, ignored Luo Jia's hand staring at him, and said to the clergyman who was passing by: "Make a pot of tea to my room later." ”
"Prince, if you don't mind, can you continue to show your face in my room?"
Luo Jia glanced at the people around him, many people cast their eyes towards them, he deliberately avoided the gaze of those people, then glanced at Qiu Yue, and said lightly: "This is very good." ”
The three of them arrived at the high priest's house, and soon tea was served, and the high priest asked, "What is the matter with the prince looking for me?" There are no outsiders here, you name it. ”
Luo Jia didn't say polite words, and asked bluntly: "Yesterday, I went to the Taiji Hall and saw my father's ......."
"Oh?" The high priest took the tea together and said slowly, "Father and son meet, is this a good thing?" Does the prince think something is wrong? ”
"This prince has a showdown with his father, but my father said this, I am definitely not suitable to be the emperor." Luo Jia's voice was a little cold, he recalled the scene at the emperor's place yesterday, he would tremble with anger, that old immortal, how dare he say about him, he was clearly partial to that woman's child, and said such a high-sounding reason, ridiculous!
Qiu Yue saw that Luo Jia's face turned blue and he was very angry, and he called out with some concern, "Luo Jia, you calm down." ”
Luo Jia glanced at him, and then at the high priest, why were these two people so close? It's just that after a few days of coming to the temple, I found that being in the temple is better than being in the prince's mansion? Could it be that Qiu Yue is also a water-based poplar woman?!
If Qiu Yue knew that Luo Jia thought of him like this in his heart, I don't know how chilling it would be.
Qiu Yue didn't know what Luo Jia was thinking, but the high priest squinted, and the corners of his lips hooked up a mocking smile, as if he already knew Luo Jia's thoughts, he smiled faintly and asked, "What does it mean that the prince is coming?" Isn't it just a matter of complaining to a few of us? ”
"How could I have that spare time?!" Luo Jia said coldly, "I just think that what my father said was too absolute, it seems that there is some inside story, he has always been cunning, and there must be a follow-up move." ”
"Oh? Then the prince came to me today, do you think this priest will know about His Majesty's tricks? ”
"Don't you know?" Luo Jia's eyes suddenly became sharp, as if if the high priest dared to say that he did not know, he would eat him alive, which was terrifying.
These days, everything is not going well, so many soldiers have been sent to hunt down Pingning, who knows that after so long, there is still no news at all, but these days there is also news that he is plotting to rebel!
The ministers of the court and the central government have complained a lot about him because they have never seen the emperor, although they have been forced down by him, but this is not a way after all, as long as the whereabouts of the jade seal are found, the hearts of those people can be stabilized.
When I came to the temple today, I originally planned to see if the high priest would know something inside, but when I came and saw such a harmonious picture, Luo Jia almost thought that he was the superfluous person.
Why is it that the things that are in the hands of the winner become difficult to move an inch, and what is wrong with it?!
The high priest put down the cup and said leisurely: "Actually, if it is the inside story, this priest really knows one." ”
"What is it?" Luo Jia stood up abruptly and asked, he didn't expect his conjecture to be true!
The high priest smiled and said comfortingly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't be so excited~ Come, drink a cup of hot tea to calm down." ”
"How can I calm down at this time? High priest, if you know what's going on, you'd better tell it quickly! Luo Jia said angrily.
Qiu Yue was a little displeased when he saw that the high priest was clearly playing Luo Jia as a monkey, and he also helped Luo Jia speak, saying, "If you know the inside story, tell it quickly." ”
"Hehe......" the high priest chuckled, approached Qiu Yue, and whispered in his ear, "You're quite short-sighted." ”
Qiu Yue frowned, of course he wants to protect Luo Jia, if he doesn't protect him, will he still protect you?
He knew that the high priest must know what he was thinking, and sure enough, the man had another aggrieved face, which made Qiu Yue couldn't help frowning, this guy ...... An old man in his seventies and eighties is still coquettish, it's really cold!
Seeing the interaction between the two, Luo Jia's heart was even colder, and he was even more sure that Qiu Yue had been bewitched by the high priest, and that it was a wrong decision to form an alliance with the temple at the beginning, and he should not let Qiu Yue come to the temple!
He gritted his teeth and said, "High Priest, what do you mean by selling Guanzi like this?" ”
The high priest turned his gaze and was a little surprised to see Luo Jia's face turned iron, but that look was not like he was surprised why his face had become iron-blue, but more concerned about how Luo Jia appeared in this place.
He smiled good-naturedly and said, "You let me think about it, hey...... You know, it's easy to forget when you're old. ”
Luo Jia and Qiu Yue both twitched the corners of their mouths, this person really has the face to say, judging from his face, he can't tell that this person is seventy or eighty, although ...... This man is indeed their grandfather's.
Luo Jia sat back on the stool, he took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and said, "Okay, you think slowly, think carefully!" ”
"Hehe......" The high priest smiled, and then really began to think about it seriously, he really didn't remember? Of course, it was a lie to Luo Jia, his memory was good, and the high priest knew that what the emperor said was a showdown.
Why was the emperor so sure that Luo Jia was not fit to be emperor? Why didn't the emperor refuse to look at him no matter how hard Luo Gaduo tried? Of course, there is a reason for all this, because Luo Jia was not born to the emperor at all!
Of course, this does not mean that Luo Jia is not a member of the royal family, of course he is, but he is not the emperor's species.
Recalling the tragedy of the nine sons at that time, the emperor was just a prince with a lower inheritance, he used some despicable methods to eradicate dissidents, the emperor was outside all day, and his imperial concubine, that is, the current queen, was pregnant, and the child was not the emperor's, but the emperor's brother, the child of the second heir.
The emperor knew that he was cuckolded, and his face was almost green, but he was afraid of the power of the Du family behind the queen, so he endured this matter, and even agreed to the Du family and made Luo Jia the crown prince, which has always been the emperor's heart disease.
Originally, the emperor planned to abolish the crown prince after his power was consolidated, and set him and Concubine Xia's child Zhen Ning as the crown prince, but Luo Jia was indeed very good, for so many years, everything was perfect, and there was no excuse to abolish the prince.
So over the years, as soon as the emperor saw Luo Jia, he remembered that his head was green, and he was not his own species, how could he really let him inherit the throne? According to the emperor's temperament, if he didn't kill Luo Jia, he was already considered merciful. (To be continued.) )
