Chapter 216: Get Used to It
Sure enough, as soon as the old Rong Huang died, in addition to the second prince Rong Zhe by his side, the other four princes moved one after another, outside the east city gate, the prince's army of 30,000 was ready to go, the eldest prince and the fourth prince surrounded the palace with their cronies, only Rong Chu and his uncle, there was no movement at all, Li Sui was not in a hurry, since he pressed the treasure on him, then do his best, obey the destiny of heaven, and bear the good and the bad.
In the middle of the night, Emperor Rong died, and the next day, the entire palace was surrounded by water.
In front of the palace, the four sides of the people and horses are opposed, although the eldest prince and the fourth prince do not have a large team of people, but what is the use, the prince's people are not outside the city, and they don't know what is happening.
"Since ancient times, the eldest brother has been the father, what does the imperial brother mean?" The eldest prince was the first to attack, he had the least chips, and if he really had to fight hard, he didn't have any advantage.
"Brother Eldest Emperor's words are not right, if you say so, this prince is the rightful prince, I don't know what you are earning." The third prince, that is, the crown prince, if it weren't for the sudden death of Emperor Rong and the vagueness of what the prince said, then he would have been preparing to ascend the throne by now.
"My father has just died, and his bones are not cold, is it interesting that you are fighting like this here now? Is there still a father in his eyes! The fourth prince was filled with righteous indignation, as if he was so righteous, and his face was grief-stricken.
"Brothers, let's not quarrel, the second brother is still waiting for us in the palace, let's go see our father first." Rong Chu's face was pale, except for a personal guard behind him, he didn't bring anything, and after speaking, he ignored the three of them and walked straight to the palace.
The fourth prince also followed, the crown prince and the eldest prince glanced at each other, and the escort team behind them also followed.
Rong Zhe sat next to the old Ronghuang, from his old face can still be vaguely distinguished, Rong Zhe's demeanor at this time is almost exactly the same as the dead old Ronghuang, Rong Zhe looked at the skinny old Ronghuang who was tortured by illness compassionately.
"Son, I'm sorry for you."
"Rong Zhe" looked at the old Rong Huang who died in pain, and there was grief in his eyes that could not be hidden, but this was his chance to live, he had lived in the cage of the throne all his life, and he didn't want to die like this.
"The prince has arrived! The Great Prince has arrived! The Four Princes have arrived! The Five Princes have arrived! ”
Listening to the eunuch singing from afar at the gate of the palace, "Rong Zhe" put away the expression on his face and the sorrow in his eyes, and sat quietly next to him.
"Father! It's too late! As soon as they entered the palace gate, the three princes except Rong Chu knelt down violently and threw themselves in front of the dragon collapse, grief-stricken, crying loudly, as if they were really father and son, and the ministers outside the door listened to the weeping in the house, and were also a little moved, of course, they did not see the four princes at the palace gate.
"Rong Zhe" looked coldly at the sons on the ground, glanced at Rong Chu, and invariably saw disdain.
The specific time has to start from a long time ago.
Later, the old Emperor Rong gradually grew old, and the body of the second prince became weaker and weaker, and he saw that the white-haired man was going to send the black-haired man, at this time, an old Taoist priest came, and the old Ronghuang begged desperately, and the old Taoist priest said, let them exchange bodies, so that the illness of the second prince would be transferred to the old Ronghuang, and the old Ronghuang would become the second prince, and wait until the condition stabilized, and the two would be replaced.
Lao Ronghuang agreed, sure enough, the old Taoist priest had two times, and changed the body of the two, and the old Ronghuang became the second prince, and because of this, the old Ronghuang saw the face behind the respect and brotherly harmony on weekdays, and he was very angry, only the fifth prince Rong Chu, although it was unreliable, he spent a little bit of wine, but he was also straightforward, and he really cared about the old Ronghuang, in fact, since the old Ronghuang and the second prince exchanged bodies, all government affairs were taken care of by the old Ronghuang as the second prince, so no one saw the flaws, and because of this, When Li Sui saw "Rong Zhe", he couldn't help but feel awkward, a body in his twenties and a soul in his sixties.
Later, Lao Ronghuang's body became weaker and weaker, and the old Taoist priest came again, saying that he could change it back, and let Lao Ronghuang return to his body that was on the verge of death.
In the end, the selfishness of human nature made him kill the old Taoist priest, refused to change his body, and watched his son suffer in his place, and even die in his place, he also couldn't bear it, but he still decided to deprive his son of his rights for his own sake.
Rong Chu didn't know the changes in the second emperor brother, he only knew that the second emperor brother's health was getting better and better, and he was also very happy, but his father's health was getting worse and worse, and he was a little sad.
Since the return of the Mao Kingdom, Rong Chu began to catch up and strive to become stronger, and the old Rong Huang, also known as "Rong Zhe", was very relieved and strengthened his determination to pass on the throne to him.
With the secret help of "Rong Zhe", Rong Chu can be said to have had a smooth journey, hoarding soldiers and horses, and gathering people's hearts, and now, the prince and others, including Rong Chu, do not know that this throne is already in Rong Chu's bag, and they are still intriguing with each other.
"Second Emperor Brother, when my father was dying, did you say anything?"
"My father set up a competition, and whoever wins will be the next emperor."
When the four of them heard this, they were horrified, although their father's behavior in recent years was sometimes a little unreasonable, but it had never been so absurd, this was treating the throne as child's play.
"Second Emperor Brother, is this really my father's words?" The eldest prince obviously didn't believe it.
"Yes, the rules of this competition are very simple, whoever finds the heirloom jade seal first will be the new emperor."
"What?!" The four of them were shocked, so casual, was it really what my father said? Heirloom jade seal? Where to look?
"This is true, the jade seal is not in the palace, but in Rongcheng, the scope is not large, according to the degree of understanding of your father, go ahead, before sunset tomorrow." 4E
"What if no one is found?"
"My father still left a holy decree, and when the time comes, I will know."
"Okay."
After listening to Rong Zhe's words, the crown prince and the eldest prince got up and left, but they couldn't even take care of the vigilance, "Rong Zhe" was a little sad, this is the relationship between father and son?
"Why don't you two go?" "Rong Zhe" looked at Rong Chu and the four princes who were still kneeling on the ground, and felt some comfort in his heart.
"My father has just gone to the immortal, I'll stay with my father for a while, tomorrow, I'm going to enter the imperial mausoleum, and I'll never see him again." Rong Chu knelt beside the dragon collapse, "And who the throne is given to, in the dark, there is a fixed number, and you can't force it." ”
"What about the fourth brother?"
"Brother Erhuang knows, I have a group of literati and artists, where can I find it, I still wait here with peace of mind, and guard the soul of my father."
"Rong Zhe" naturally wouldn't believe what the fourth prince said, he used to think that he was the same as the second prince, and he had no quarrel with the world, but in the past few years, he slowly discovered that the deepest and most improper scheming is this fourth son, and he doesn't necessarily want to think of any tricks.
"Okay, then let's go together, tomorrow the funeral is over, you go looking for it again, maybe it's not too late."
"That's what the second emperor brother said."
The ministers outside the door saw the prince and the eldest prince coming in a hurry, and hurried away, a little confused, but they could only kneel outside, motionless, several elders sat on the soft collapse, their faces were concerned, "Rong Zhe" looked at them, and also sighed a little, time is so fast, at the beginning of the Jin Ge Iron Horse, they were all old.
Early the next morning, the princes still got nothing, wearing linen and filial piety, a generation of emperors, to be buried, the envoys of various countries followed, sent a ride, the matter was urgent, there was no time to notify the royal family to come, every time it was to wait for the royal family of various countries to come, and then hold a funeral of the well-dressed mound, which was considered a round ceremony.
Li Sui knows that the royal families of various countries will send people one after another recently, he has already passed the book to Emperor Jing, he came to participate in this mission, now, as long as you keep an eye on the activities everywhere, and then place two chess pieces that are beneficial to you, and the rest, just wait for the arrival of "Li Sui".
Ye Jinyu also heard about it in Miao Jiang, this time Miao Jiang was going to send Wu Li, but Wu Li really had a lot of affairs, and he couldn't get out of his way, so he could only let Wu Qing, who was just about to come back outside, run again.
Ye Jinyu listened to the news of Emperor Rong's death and knew that a new round of monarch competition was about to take shape, Yin Guo or Qin Haimo, Miao Jiang basically became Wu Li in power, Qi State was about to become Mo Beiting, Rong Di almost became Xiang Yangyan as the king, Rong Guo immediately saw the difference, Mao Guo has not yet begun, no one in the Western Regions knows, that old guy is dead and alive.
Ye Jinyu stroked her stomach, why don't you pick the time so much, when the world is in chaos, you are here, can your mother protect you?
Some tired, Ye Jinyu called the green orange, carried the soft collapse, it was already summer, a little hot, but in the seedlings of trees everywhere, it was still very pleasant, Ye Jinyu's favorite thing was to find a big tree in the yard, and then put on the soft collapse and all kinds of fruits, these fruits are rare in the Central Plains, a specialty of the rainforest, Ye Jinyu gradually got used to life here.
Rong Guo is in chaos, who is next?
Ye Jinyu didn't want to think about it, her current wish was no longer the people in the world who she used to be, but the two children in her belly, and the two children in the palace of the Mao Kingdom, to grow up peacefully and happily, this is enough, there are too many people in the world, she can't control it.
Mao Guo also had some differences at this time, originally the prince was eager to try, wanting to go to Rongguo and exchange relations by the way, but he didn't expect to be directly blocked back by Emperor Jing, and his heart was upset, and his dissatisfaction with Emperor Jing began to show.
The imperial concubine is only in charge of the two children in the palace, and she does not participate in the affairs of the court, but the queen still maintains the rule of once every two days and once a day, and runs to Deshou Palace, and the imperial concubine can't figure it out, what is she doing, she can only tell the palace people to be careful, the master of the two children is a female official, and she does not lose half a point to a man.
After the burial of Emperor Rong, the entire Rongcheng turned upside down, and several teams of people turned the entire Rongcheng upside down.
After Li Sui heard about this competition to choose the new emperor in the teahouse, he couldn't help but think of the fake jade seal in the Fulai Inn, could it be Rong Guo's?
Seeing that it was about to reach sunset, all parties were a little anxious, and everyone who had found nothing returned to the palace hall, only Rong Chu was holding a square box in his hand, and everyone's eyes swept over the square box from time to time, speculating one after another, the faces of the prince and the eldest prince were a little ugly, and the four princes were also a little frowned.
"Silence!" After the father-in-law finished speaking, Rong Zhe walked to the front.
"Who found the heirloom jade seal?"
"Second Emperor Brother, I don't know if this is it?" Rong Chu handed over the box in his hand, and there was an uproar below.
"Okay, bring it and I'll take a look."
Rong Zhe took the square box and opened it in public, and a white jade Nine Dragons jade seal was placed in the center.
