Chapter 80
If you want to take care of this important matter in the court and prevent rumors from spreading, the best way is to let the person who should inherit the throne ascend to the throne earlier. Although Tengxiao Kingdom was hit hard by the prince's party, the first emperor had always been a Ming monarch during his reign, and the people under him were all loyal and practical people, so Lan Qiong could quickly start to ascend to the throne. Jin Shen is not as good as him, first to select new officials to take key positions, and then to wait for himself to ascend the throne a little bit of reform.
Lan Qiong sat in the courtyard of the Yi Lan Palace, discussing the follow-up of the snow disaster with Lan Qiong. As soon as the war was over, winter slowly passed, and although it was still a little chilly, the snow had long since stopped, and the sun was spreading all over the land. The treatment of the disaster area is to continue the delivery of materials and reduce taxes in the coming year, although the crown prince and the second prince embezzled disaster relief money in the disaster area, but fortunately did not cause any major disasters. It is rare for the two brothers to sit together and talk about political affairs well, Lan Jing put down the fold, looked at Lan Qiong, who had lost some weight on his face, and said: "Tomorrow will announce that you will become the emperor, as for the enthronement ceremony, it will be two months later, after all, my father has just been buried in the imperial mausoleum." ”
Lan Qiong looked at the white silk hanging everywhere in the palace, and the palace people around her were wearing white mourning clothes, and the death of the emperor was a state funeral. The actions of the crown prince and the second prince have also been revealed to the world, and the people are full of insults and complaints from the people, and there are also official homes in the capital from time to time that have been raided, and everyone who sees them just sighs: "It's the prince and the second prince again." After sighing, it was like watching a play, watching coldly. The capital is almost accustomed to the scene of the army raiding people's homes, but the court officials are not used to it at all, sometimes they find that their colleagues around them did not come in the morning, and the next day there is a new person to take over the vacant position. The officials in the court inevitably trembled in their hearts, and in their spare time, they thought about whether they had too much contact with the crown prince or the second prince.
The wealthy families of Tengxiao Kingdom are all rumored, and now the Si Kou family and the He family are about to rise to the top, because they think that it will be Lan Jing who ascends to the throne sooner or later, but in fact, only the officials who go to the court every day know that it is Lan Qiong who presides over the overall situation every time, and Lan Jing has never even shown his face. At first, they thought that Lan Qiong had no ability, but in the next period of time, Lan Qiong's thunderous methods made the officials of the DPRK and China afraid. At present, the holy decree has not been issued, Lan Qiong has not yet ascended the throne, and they dare not go out of the court to chew the root of their tongues, so the message that Lan Jing is about to ascend to the throne is spreading more and more.
Lan Jing didn't want to let this kind of rumor go around again, so he decided to let Lan Qiong ascend the throne first, and postpone the enthronement ceremony. Lan Qiong didn't plan to do it so early, at least when her sixth brother's legs could stand up. Speaking of the sixth brother's legs, he didn't see Qi Shu coming over for acupuncture today. Thinking about it, he saw Shao Cangshu coming to Yilan Hall under the guidance of his subordinates, Lan Qiong missed this person who had not seen him for a long time, and asked familiarly: "Why did you come to the palace today?" ”
Shao Cangshu put down the medicine box in his hand and said, "The doctor is here, of course he is here to see a doctor!" Lan Qiong wondered, what patients here wanted Shao Cangshu to see, and in the blink of an eye, he saw Shao Cangshu take out a roll of silver needles, isn't this the instrument that Qi Shu often uses to administer needles to his brother, could it be that Qi Shu ······
Si Kouxi came in with something and saw Lan Qiong in a daze at the silver needle, she walked to Lan Jing and sat down, silent. Lan Qiong felt that someone was coming, so she came back to her senses and found that it was her sixth sister-in-law. Although Qi Shu was always playing a game of hide and seek with himself during this time, he could still look at this girl in the dark, but now that this girl is not here, he couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart, so he had to ask Si Kouxi: "Sixth sister-in-law, why didn't Qi Shu come?" ”
Si Kouxi was waiting for him to ask this question, and he wanted to see how long this stinky boy could last, but it seemed that he couldn't hold on for a second. She watched Shao Cangshu give Lan Jing acupuncture, and said as if unintentionally: "Don't call Qi Shu, call Yan Shu." The battle between Tengxiao Kingdom and the Jianian Dynasty is over, Bihai Palace has invested a lot of manpower and material resources on both sides, and now there is always a settlement, so she is too busy, it is too hard to run at both ends, acupuncture is not a difficult thing, and it is the same to let Dr. Shao come. ”
Si Kouxi didn't seem to care, but in fact, he had been secretly observing Lan Qiong, and Lan Jing, who was sitting on the side, felt funny when he saw his wife secretly observing Lan Qiong, but he was very helpless and went with her, and he didn't break it himself. When Lan Qiong heard this, she said anxiously: "Why is it called Yan Shu again, and there are so many people in your Bihai Palace who lack her, and there is not much more than her." ”
Si Kouxi felt that what Lan Qiong said was funny, so she stared straight at him and said, "Yan Shu is the owner of the Vermilion Bird Building, and changing her name to Qi Shu is just a cover-up, since our plan is now completed, she naturally has to return to her position and call her original name." There are many people in Bihai Palace, she is the owner of the Vermilion Bird Building, she is very important, others think it is not important, it does not mean that we will not cherish it. The ** flavor in Si Kouxi's tone seemed to be a little heavy.
Lan Qiong also realized that her sister-in-law's tone was wrong, and said with some grievances in her heart: "I don't cherish it, I want to have a chance." Don't be too obvious about the grievances in your tone. Shao Cangshu's hands couldn't help but shake when he heard it, and when Lan Jing saw this, he said, "Don't laugh crookedly." Shao Cangshu hurriedly waved his hand and said that he would not.
They also realized that the doctor was seeing a doctor, and they shouldn't be so disturbed, and everyone shut up and quietly waited for Shao Atractylodes to finish the needle. Si Kouxi saw that the last needle was finished, and said, "Let's stay and eat today, it's been hard these days." "Si Kouxi has been not caring about Bihai Palace recently, and has been accompanying Lan Jing to accompany him to recuperate, so he has always been keen to make good food for everyone. Si Kouxi's craftsmanship is very good, and they readily agreed, so Si Kouxi went down to prepare dinner.
The remaining three men were naturally talking about the topic between men, Lan Jing looked at his younger brother with a headache for Yan Shu, and said helplessly: "What, Yan Shu rejected you?" Lan Qiong sighed and said, "Sort of, anyway, people don't want to give me a chance at all." Shao Cangshu took a sip of tea and said, "Not necessarily, these days I am in Bihai Palace, and I am always absent-minded when I see the owner of Yan Shulou." Lan Qiong couldn't help but be a little excited when she heard this, but she frowned and asked, "Why are you staying in Bihai Palace?" ”
Shao Cangshu waved his hand, looking like you don't want to mention it. "When the Blood Lotus Sect besieged the three princesses, I and the master of the Great Compassion Temple rescued them. The princess recovered quickly, and she wanted to run down to find the prince. But Wuge and Yanjia didn't recover so quickly, so I kept watching over them. ”
When Lan Jing heard this Blood Lotus Sect again, he frowned and asked, "How much do you know about this Blood Lotus Sect?" Shao Cangshu shook his head, and said a little helplessly: "The sect created by the people of the frontier has always dominated the rivers and lakes with poison magic. Although I can understand their poison according to the medicine, I am far from being able to cure it. Lan Jing and Lan Qiong also felt a headache when they heard this.
Lan Qiong didn't believe that the Xinjiang people here were so powerful, so he asked tentatively: "Then there is no one in the Bihai Palace who can compete?" Shao Cangshu knew that he was talking about Yan Shu, and had to admit that Yan Shu was a good hand at seeking medical advice, and at the same time, drug production also had its own characteristics, but it could not be confused with the frontier people. He shook his head and said, "Although Yan Shu can also make poison, she ·····"
There was no need for him to continue, they also knew what he meant, and Yin Yue, who had been standing aside, suddenly asked, "What is the kind of thing that can melt corpses and bones in Bihai Palace?" Shao Cangshu smiled and said: "You are right, this is indeed the unique skill of Bihai Palace, and the frontier people can't do it." But that kind of thing is also a kind of poison, but it is used to deal with the dead, have you ever seen any famous poison against the living in Bihai Palace? Yinyue shook her head, it is true that as Cangshu said, Bihai Palace generally does not study poisons that cause death, and they generally don't care about using poisons if they can solve them by force.
Although Lan Jing has always comforted Si Kou Xi not to care too much, this does not mean that he will not pay attention to this mysterious frontier and the Blood Lotus Sect that is connected to it.
At night, Si Kouxi looked at the letter sent by Jin Shen in the study. Jinshen told her that he would wait until she went to the Jiannian Dynasty before executing Mu Xi, and he didn't plan to set up his aunt's spiritual seat in the imperial tomb again, and he felt that his mother should not want to see people and things related to Mu Xi again. Jing Xuan's son wants to become a monk, whether the name of the country needs to be changed, these two things I would like to ask her what she means.
Regarding the name of the country, Si Kouxi thinks that there is no need to modify it, after all, the Carnival Dynasty was named by his aunt at the beginning, but Mu Xi did not lead this dynasty to usher in the prosperity of the Carnival, but I would like to apply for it. As for whether she agreed to send Jing Xuan's son to the temple, she really didn't know what to do.
Looking at Lan Jing, who was sitting across from her, she felt that she could ask him what he thought. "Sixth brother, I would like to send me a letter saying that Jing Xuan's son wants to enter the temple as a monk, do you think this is appropriate?" Lan Jing didn't expect that a child younger than Jin Shen would want to be a monk, it stands to reason that Jing Xuan's son is also a half-brother to Jin Shen, but Mu Xi has long abandoned Jin Shen, and Jin Shen's crusade against the Jianian Dynasty in his personal name also means that Jing Xuan's son is a remnant of the previous dynasty, and he should be punished.
Lan Jing didn't express his thoughts immediately, but just asked Jin Shen what he thought. Xi'er said: "I would like to understand that the child deserves to be punished, but when he was alive, he didn't receive much love from Mu Xi and Jing Xuan, but he just saw the faces of the husband and wife, Mu Xi only cares about the throne, Jing Xuan only cares about the prosperity of the maternal line, and now both of them are dead, and the child doesn't seem to have any reaction." After all, I would like to pity the child. Lan Jing understood it, Jin Shen didn't want to kill that child, he looked at Si Kouxi again, no need for him to say, Xi'er knew that Lan Jing was asking what he thought.
Si Kouxi wrung his sleeves, bit his lip and said, "Don't blame me for being ruthless. In case this child hides hatred in his heart, and the future comeback, it will be another disaster, when will this injustice be retributed? Lan Jing took her hand and said, "No one blames you for being ruthless, and it's not wrong for you to think so." But you also said when the retribution will be done, and this kid hasn't actually done anything wrong. If you are afraid that he will make a comeback, it is better to send him to the Great Compassion Temple. Besides, even if he makes a comeback, I believe we have the ability to stop it. ”
After Lan Jing finished speaking, she looked at Xi'er and waited for her reaction. Si Kouxi thought about what Lan Jing said made sense, and the Great Compassion Temple was in the territory of Tengxiao Kingdom, and if he wanted to rebel, he had to see if he agreed or not. However, Si Kouxi asked with some embarrassment: "Dabei Temple is a national temple, will Master Sibei ·······?"
Lan Jing felt that this was Xi'er's worry, Master Sibei didn't care about a person's background, as long as he was dedicated to the Buddha, he was willing to dial it. It's just that he didn't expect that little girl to actually know Master Sibei, and he asked Si Kouxi how he met.
Si Kouxi told him about going to ask for a talisman one by one, and the more Lan Jing listened, the happier she became, she didn't expect this little girl to be willing to run so far for herself to ask for a talisman. Si Kouxi hurriedly handed Lan Jing the peace charm that had been hidden by her side, she was so happy to see Lan Jing, she still didn't tell him that in fact, she went to the Great Compassion Temple just to compare the gap between the temples, so that she could go to Chapudu Temple, and it was just a pretense to help him ask for the talisman.
Lan Jing opened this lucky bag and took out not only one peace charm, but also another. Si Kouxi was also curious, and went up to find out, when she got this lucky bag, she felt strange, why was her bigger than her mother, it turned out that there was another one in it. Lan Jing opened it and looked at it, and it said Ask for characters. Si Kouxi's face turned red all of a sudden, and he immediately wrapped the child-seeking talisman and hid it in his sleeve.
Lan Jing looked at Xi'er as if she had no silver three hundred taels here, and suddenly had the idea of teasing her, he leaned into Xi'er's ear and said, "What you begged for, do you want a child?" Si Kouxi immediately ran away and bluffed: "It's not me!" This master of compassion is so idle, and he also asked me for a child charm, I really love to worry about it. After speaking, he walked behind Lan Jing and wanted to push him to rest, Lan Jing raised his eyebrows, looked at Si Kouxi, whose face was still red, and said, "So anxious to push me back to the room?" ”
Si Kouxi immediately felt that the wheelchair he was pushing was a hot potato, and pretended to be angry and said, "I won't push you, stay here by myself!" After finishing speaking, he quickly walked to the bedroom, Lan Jing didn't care that she threw herself down, but just shouted at Si Kouxi's back: "I am very satisfied with the talisman you asked!" Xi'er turned her head, looked at Lan Jing who was smiling, and muttered, "I didn't ask for it." "After that, he ran faster.
Lan Jing looked at her back and laughed lowly, Yinyue had been guarding the courtyard, and when she saw that the princess was no longer pushing the princess, she immediately walked over and slowly pushed the princess back to the room. The people around Lan Jing were always afraid that he would suddenly be unable to walk again, and they would be unwilling, so they were worried about their master, but after these observations, they found that the princess was smiling more and more every day in the company of the princess. It doesn't show a depressed look.,And it's also with recuperation every day.。
They are actually very grateful and respectful of this princess, but they don't want to be placed under the princess, and Silver Frost is a good example. The prince was furious, Yinshuang was punished, and now he is still lying in bed. Thinking about the high-spirited appearance of the Silver Frost Commander before, and then thinking about the way he was crying wolf because of the medicine now, they felt frightened. This prince and princess are not ordinary people who can be sandwiched between the two of them.
