Chapter 37: Before the Crowning of the King (6)
On this day, many carriages were parked outside the noon gate of the palace, almost all of them were carriages of ministers.
A major event will happen in the Qingyu Dynasty today.
The third prince, Lu Jiuyuan, was crowned king.
That's right, if Lu Jiuyuan wants to be crowned king today, all ministers have to participate in the court meeting, and Duan Long, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is no exception.
It's just that Duan Long seems to have a little more dark circles under his eyes, so he shouldn't have slept well, but he really didn't sleep well.
"Childe, we're here."
"Well, you give this royal order to the guards and let us in."
"Yes, Childe."
Gai Nie handed over Lu Jiuyuan's princely order to the guards, and the guards knew that it was the third prince Lu Jiuyuan and let Lu Jiuyuan in.
Generally, only the carriages of the royal family were allowed to enter the palace, and there was a special place to park the carriages in the palace.
When the carriage entered the palace, Lu Jiuyuan lifted the curtain on the side of the carriage and looked at the high walls on both sides like a prison, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Girl Mu, you don't see that this palace looks like a huge prison, it seems to imprison the people in the palace."
Lu Jiuyuan brought Mu Hanxue with him, there were many people in the palace, and the automatic wheelchair could not be used blatantly, it was fine in a place with few people, but it couldn't resist the curiosity of some people.
"Lu Gongzi, the people outside the palace want to come in, and the people inside the palace want to get out, saying that it is a prison but it is not like a prison, at most it is like a wall, a wall that separates the outside of the palace from the inside of the palace."
Lu Jiuyuan was a little surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect Mu Hanxue to understand it like this, the palace is indeed a wall, but there is no absolute difference between the quality of this wall.
In fact, Lu Jiuyuan still likes to be outside the palace, there is relative freedom outside the palace, but unfortunately fate will not let Lu Jiuyuan be at ease outside, he has his mission and the mystery of his life experience.
Although Lu Jiuyuan's current identity is the third prince of the Qingyu Dynasty, it is not necessarily the case with the system, the system has acquiesced that it must be Lu Jiuyuan who has crossed over, this is not an obvious secret hidden in Lu Jiuyuan, but Lu Jiuyuan doesn't know.
The corridor of the palace looks endless, but it is just a foreign object that interferes with the vision, so that the vision produces this situation of looking far away but not far away, and generally only ordinary people will be affected, and the scribes and warriors generally will not.
The Taihe Hall is the place where the emperor's ministers go to court, and it is much larger than other palaces, and the current Taihe Hall can be described as very lively.
Lu Jiuyuan wanted to be crowned king, so naturally he was the object of their discussion, and the emperor did not release the news about Lu Jiuyuan's kingship at all, and the ministers did not discuss any results.
"Master Duan, what's wrong with you?"
The Jade King looked at Duan Long, who was a little haggard, no matter how busy Duan Long was these days, he wouldn't change like this, something else must have happened.
"Lord Wang, Xia Guan is just a little uncomfortable, he shouldn't have rested well."
The ugliness of the family is not rumored to be Duan Long also knows, so he didn't tell the Jade King, and Duan Long has a bad feeling, this feeling is not clear, but it is very likely that something bad will happen.
"Lord Wang, be careful for a while, let them toss first."
"Don't worry, Lord Duan, I still know this."
The Jade King is actually very smart, but he was too heavily pressed by Concubine Yan, and he didn't dare to resist in the slightest, so he formed a cautious attitude, Duan Long didn't remind him, and he wouldn't be the first to stand up.
The Jade King and the Yu King in the Taihe Hall have always been wrong, but this time the two seem to have a tacit understanding and there is no fighting, perhaps to join forces to besiege Lu Jiuyuan.
Now all the ministers are waiting, waiting for Lu Jiuyuan's arrival. waiting for the emperor's edict, and the atmosphere is becoming more and more strange.
"His Royal Highness the Third Prince has arrived."
This sentence of His Royal Highness the Third Prince made all the ministers look at the gate of the Taihe Hall to see what the legendary Third Prince Lu Jiuyuan looked like.
But when they looked at the gate of the Taihe Palace, they didn't see it, and they couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but just as they were about to move their eyes to other places, a person suddenly appeared.
Although Lu Jiuyuan is in a wheelchair, his tallness and straightness can be seen at a glance, but the ministers don't think that he is the third prince Lu Jiuyuan.
The third prince Lu Jiuyuan was only ten years old, how could he be so tall and mighty, so they didn't think that it was the third prince Lu Jiuyuan above the wheelchair.
At this time, Mu Hanxue appeared behind Lu Jiuyuan, and Duan Long could also see it clearly, but he couldn't believe his eyes.
"How is that possible?"
"Lord Duan?" The Jade King naturally heard Duan Long's very small voice, but he didn't hear what Duan Long said.
"It's okay, lord."
Duan Long knew that the Jade King had discovered that he was abnormal, but he didn't say it, just stared at Mu Hanxue with his eyes, for fear of missing a detail.
Mu Hanxue's face Duan Long couldn't be more familiar, and Duan Long's portrait in Duan Long's study was very familiar with Mu Hanxue's face.
The disappearance of Duan Long's son Duan Xing has something to do with Mu Hanxue, the disappearance of the Li family and the housekeeper Duan Fu is still related to Mu Hanxue, everything is inseparable from Mu Hanxue, if it weren't for Mu Hanxue, maybe Duan Mansion would be doing well now.
But at the same time, Duan Long knew why he had an ominous premonition, he knew the appearance of the third prince Lu Jiuyuan, that is, the person in the wheelchair, and Mu Hanxue behind him represented Duan Xing, and the disappearance of the Li family and Duan Fu was inseparable from Lu Jiuyuan.
"Miss Mu, you Mr. Gai is waiting for me outside now."
"Okay."
Lu Jiuyuan pushed the wheels of the wheelchair towards the front of the main hall in the minister's sight, and Lu Jiuyuan saw the minister's reaction, and at the same time saw the change in Duan Long's face.
Lu Jiuyuan only knew about the people in the court, the Jade King, the Yu King, the two prime ministers, and Duan Long, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and some other ministers, maybe they didn't even know their names.
"Lord Duan, don't come unharmed, it's just that Lord Duan seems to be a little haggard, Lord Duan doesn't know how to control it, in case he gets tired that day, it will be a big loss to the Qingyu Dynasty."
Lu Jiuyuan pushed the wheelchair in front of Duan Long and looked at Duan Long, and said to Duan Long with a haggard face, only Duan Long was familiar with it in the court.
"Poof!"
Hahaha!
Once someone didn't hold back their laughter, the other ministers also laughed, they didn't know what Lu Jiuyuan was talking about, they just felt that Lu Jiuyuan said it in a bad place, and they admired Lu Jiuyuan's courage.
At the same time, I didn't expect that the person in the wheelchair was the third prince Lu Jiuyuan, it was really unpredictable, and now the body of the third prince Lu Jiuyuan looks better than the Jade King and the Yu King, but I don't know why the legs of the three princes are useless.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, the lower officials just didn't rest well, and it's not what His Royal Highness the Third Prince said."
Duan Long looked at the ridicule of the ministers, even the Jade King, so he also needed to clarify, if this was the case, how would he see these ministers in the future, and at the same time not forget to glare at the ministers who laughed at him.
"I think Lord Duan and all the adults are afraid that they have misunderstood what I mean, I am asking Lord Duan to rest more, I have no other meaning, and I don't know where Lord Duan thought of it."
Lu Jiuyuan naturally heard the minister's laughter, but Lu Jiuyuan was afraid that they and Duan Long would misunderstand what he meant, and he just said that Duan Long had not rested well, so he hurriedly said to Duan Long.
"Haha!"
This time, all the ministers really couldn't help but laugh, all the ministers misunderstood what Lu Jiuyuan meant, they knew that they wanted to be crooked, but it didn't prevent them from laughing.
In fact, this is not counted, what everyone didn't expect was that Duan Long also came out to explain, and now Duan Long is afraid that he can't explain it clearly.
And Duan Long also knew that he had turned a heel here with Lu Jiuyuan, and he couldn't help but blush, letting himself be embarrassed in front of so many ministers, Duan Long swore that he would never let Lu Jiuyuan have a good time.
"Lord Duan is kind and wealthy, so you don't have to keep this kind of trivial matter in mind."
Lu Jiuyuan could also guess what Duan Long was thinking when he saw Duan Long's gloomy face, the surface work still had to be done, otherwise it would not be good to be left by other ministers.
"His Royal Highness the Third Prince is right, harmony makes money."
Although Duan Long said that he was angry and made money, he scolded Lu Jiuyuan in his heart, and he was also angry and wealthy, and it was not you who was hit, of course you were angry and wealthy, but Duan Long only dared to think about it in his heart, and he didn't dare to say it at all.
"I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Third Prince to be an interesting person, what does Lord Zhao think?"
Zuo Xiang Li Nan has been watching the play on the sidelines, he has long been disliked by Duan Long, but he doesn't dare to do too much, today Duan Long has learned a lesson.
"Hehe, it's really interesting, it's just this leg"
"Alas, it's a pity."
Right Prime Minister Zhao Jiulong also agreed with Li Nan that it was really interesting for Lu Jiuyuan to joke about this court but not let people grasp the handle, but when he thought of Lu Jiuyuan's legs, he couldn't help but sigh.
The reason for the pity of the two is only Lu Jiuyuan's legs, for the several princes of Qingyu, the fourth prince Lu Zhengliang is upright, and the Jade King, King Yu and the fifth prince can not see hope, only the third prince Lu Jiuyuan is left, but now Lu Jiuyuan's leg is broken, so they are a pity.
