Sima Changshen immediately said: "Father, you are old, and you are injured like this, how can you ..... How can we continue to the Imperial Tomb? ”

King Huainan also looked solemn and said, "Envoy Fan, the old man's waist bone is damaged, is it really just a problem of muscles and bones?" ”

"Rest assured, the lower official can guarantee with his life, as long as the old man's injury is recuperated, he will be able to heal, and there will be no major problems." Fan Yuan made the color of the road.

King Huainan breathed a sigh of relief before he said: "Old Guogong, this time to worship the imperial tomb, you naturally know that it is also very important. The four hereditary candidates of the year, the old marquis of Shantai could not come due to illness, and only you are the old minister of the three dynasties, although there are many officials, but there is no old prince present, it is always inappropriate, you see .....! ”

"Lord Wang, my father is injured like this, do you think you can still go to the imperial tomb to toss?" Sima Changshen's face sank, and he sneered: "Do you want to toss my father to death in the imperial mausoleum?" ”

"Shut up!" Sima Lan's face turned cold: "Sima Changshen, how can you be presumptuous here?" He looked at the king of Huainan and said: "What the prince said is extremely true, Da Chu is deeply grateful to my Sima family, and I must not be absent from such a major event as sacrificing the imperial tomb." Seeing the team stop, he said: "Lord Wang, it's not good for the dragon to delay here, although I can't move at the moment, but the imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital are all masters of Xinglin, as long as they are diagnosed and treated a little, there should be no big problems." He moved, and there was an "ah" sound in his throat, and his face was full of pain.

The envoy of the Fan Yuan hurriedly pressed Sima Lan's arm and said, "The old prince must not move, otherwise it will only aggravate the injury." The lower official sent someone to the Tai Hospital to gather people and asked them to bring medicinal herbs over. Xiang Sima Chang said cautiously: "Master Hou, the holy car can't be delayed, please take someone to carry the old man to the side of the road first, set up a tent temporarily, and the team can go to the imperial tomb first, we will try our best to diagnose and treat the old man, I hope to catch up with tomorrow's sacrificial ceremony." ”

Sima Changshen's expression was solemn, and King Huainan had already asked: "Envoy Fan, this is located on the outskirts of Beijing, and it is not safe, can you let people carry the old prince to the imperial tomb?" ”

"Never." Fan Yuan's envoy Zhengse said: "Lord, don't say that this place is still nearly a hundred miles away from the imperial tomb, with the current situation of the old prince, even if he is carried out of ten miles, it may cause greater damage to the waist bone." The current injury, as long as it is treated in time, will not cause too many problems, but if the injury increases, the lower official is only worried that even if he does his best to rescue, it will leave a huge hidden danger in the future, and even ..... It can even lead to paralysis. ”

At this time, I saw a shrill voice and asked, "What happened to the old man?" Everyone looked over, but it was Fan Dehai, the chief eunuch beside the little emperor of Longtai.

"Father-in-law Fan, my father accidentally fell off the horse, his waist was fractured, and he couldn't move." Sima Changshen immediately said: "I beg Gonggong Fan to make it clear to the emperor that my father can't go to the imperial tomb with him." ”

"The old man fell off the horse?" Fan Dehai was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "The miscellaneous family is going to pay tribute to the emperor." ”

Sima Lan sighed and said, "I didn't expect that the old man's negligence caused the dragon to be delayed. Chang Shen immediately sent someone to set up a temporary tent on the side of the road and carry me over so as not to block the road. Then he said to the envoy of the Fan Academy: "Envoy of the Fan Academy, if you have any labor, you will immediately send someone to get the medicine." ”

Sima Changshen was a little reluctant, but in the current situation, knowing that he could not delay, he immediately ordered a tent to be temporarily set up on the side of the road, and ordered someone to make a stretcher to carry Sima Lan to the side of the road.

After a while, Fan Dehai had already come back and said: "The emperor has decreed that if the old prince is too seriously injured, he will return to Beijing for treatment immediately." ”

"Thank you for your concern." Sima Lan said: "Father-in-law Fan, there is no big problem on the minister's side, and the envoy of the Fan court also said that as long as there is a little treatment, there will not be much of a problem." The old minister is here for treatment for the time being, and then he is carried to the imperial tomb, and he will inevitably arrive before the sacrifice ceremony tomorrow. ”

King Huainan sighed and said, "The matter has come to this, and the old prince can only stay here for a while. He glanced at Fan Dehai beside him and asked, "Father-in-law Fan, when will the sacrificial ceremony start tomorrow?" ”

"Back to the prince, the Ministry of Rites has determined that tomorrow is an auspicious time, and the sacrificial ceremony will be held from the time of the day." Fan Dehai replied respectfully.

Sima Lan immediately said: "Before tomorrow, the old minister will definitely arrive on time." ”

King Huainan stretched out his hand to hold Sima Lan's hand, and sighed lightly: "Old Guogong, although you and I are a little unhappy, compared to national affairs, the unhappiness between private individuals is really nothing. You are an important minister of my Chu State, and many major affairs in the court depend on the old prince, and I hope to recover as soon as possible, so as not to worry the emperor and this king. ”

Sima Lan showed a hint of emotion and said, "The prince loves him, and the old minister is grateful. ”

Only then did the king of Huainan say: "Pass the order and continue to move forward." ”

Someone made a stretcher and carefully carried Sima Lan onto the stretcher, and a temporary tent was quickly erected on the side of the road, and the king of Huainan said with concern: "Old Guogong, this king asks the emperor for an order, leaving some Yulin camp guards to protect Lao Guogong here." ”

Sima Lan lay on the stretcher, shook his head lightly and said, "The Yulin Camp is to protect the emperor, how can it be done because of the old minister." Lord Wang, the old minister will ask people to transfer the soldiers of the Black Scale Battalion to come over as temporary guards, so there is no need for the prince to worry too much. ”

"In that case, take care of the old man." King Huainan bowed slightly: "This king and the emperor will go to the imperial tomb first, waiting for the old prince to come." ”

Although Sima Lan fell off the horse unexpectedly and was delayed for some time, the team quickly got back on the road.

Qi Ning rode out of the road for a while, looked back, and saw that someone had already carried Sima Lan into the tent.

He didn't say anything on the side, but he kept observing the horse that Sima Lan was riding, that horse was indeed a good horse, and there didn't seem to be anything wrong, Qi Ning was very curious in his heart, secretly wondering why the horse was suddenly frightened and would throw Sima Lan off the horse? Could it be that someone did something wrong with that horse?

He wondered in his heart that in the sound of ritual music, he had already walked a way in a moment.

A hundred miles away is said to be far away, said to be close but not close, and many of the courtiers are still walking on foot, these officials are usually clothed and fed, and now they want to walk a hundred miles on foot, many people are really a little unbearable, and some are just walking out of twenty miles, they are already out of breath.

In addition, the sun was scorching, and the officials were traveling in court clothes, and they were sweating profusely.

Longtai was also considerate to the courtiers, and after a certain journey, he would rest for a while, and at noon, he rushed to the dining place that had been prepared in advance, and prepared some large cakes that were easy to eat quickly, and many officials could not eat, but drank a lot of water.

It was only in the afternoon that I arrived at the Imperial Mausoleum.

After Chi Fengdian arrived, he immediately dispatched troops and horses to guard the roads leading to the imperial tomb, and transferred troops into the perimeter of the imperial tomb to guard, and the guards stationed in the imperial tomb were also dispatched and managed by Chi Fengdian.

However, the sacrificial ceremony is still tomorrow, so the emperor and the ministers do not have to enter the imperial tomb today, and the monks of the Great Guangming Temple and the Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain have to enter the imperial tomb first, chanting the scriptures, and the Ministry of Rites has already made preparations in advance.

Before the arrival of the dragon, the eastern suburbs of the imperial tomb have set up a tent, the emperor's golden tent is in the middle, magnificent, two hundred elite soldiers of the forest camp will be the golden tent in the three layers of the outer three layers of the guards, according to the etiquette system of the Chu State, the emperor tonight to bathe and clean, copy the Buddhist scriptures, do not see any courtiers.

The tents of the ministers are surrounded by the golden tent, and the stars hold the moon like the moon, according to the official position, the higher the official position, the closer it is to the emperor's golden tent.

The ministers rushed to the road of the day, many people are already exhausted, after sending the emperor into the account, the ministers also went back to the tent to rest, to the evening, the eastern suburbs of the imperial tomb is silent, some officials are really unbearable, rest in the tent, and some officials in order to show their piety to the imperial tomb, are also copying Buddhist scriptures.

After stationing in the camp, Qi Ning walked around, making sure that the golden tent was impenetrable to be guarded, and learned that before tomorrow's sacrifice ceremony, no one was allowed to approach the emperor's golden tent, so he felt at ease, compared to other ministers, today's road is just a piece of cake for him, and naturally he will not feel the slightest tiredness.

The camp is guarded by Yulin elite soldiers, and the Yulin elite soldiers are all carefully selected brave warriors, which is an exaggeration to be one when ten, but it is really easy for a Yulin elite soldier to deal with three or five people, and Qi Ning has long found that the palace swordsman Xiang Tianbei disguised himself as a palace eunuch, and has always been a close guard by the emperor's side, Qi Ning knows that the group of eunuchs guarding Longtai's side may not only have Xiang Tianbei, a master, among them, I am afraid that there are still many palace masters, not to mention that no one can get close to the golden tent, even if it is close to the golden tent, The eunuchs in the palace who have been waiting around the big tent are also an insurmountable protection.

Qi Ning knew the strength of the Shadow Mouse's gang, even if they were good at assassination, they would never have a chance to sneak attack the emperor.

Chi Fengdian was responsible for guarding the camp, so after he was stationed in the camp, he didn't have a moment to rest at all, and always patrolled around the camp with the guards, and he dispatched nearly 100 people to patrol back and forth in the camp.

Qi Ning was no longer worried about Longtai's safety at this time, but he was worried about the prince of Eastern Qi in the capital.

It's not that he has any good impression of the prince of Dongqi, it's just that the prince of Dongqi is now in the state of Chu, which is not trivial, if any accident occurs in the state of Chu, then all the efforts made by the state of Chu before will be in vain, and the two countries of Qi and Chu will definitely turn against each other, which is a huge disaster for the soldiers of the state of Chu.

It is hoped that the prince of Eastern Qi will have an accident in the territory of Chu, which is naturally the result that many people want to see.

Whether the prince of Dongqi is alive or dead, Qi Ning doesn't care, he only hopes that His Royal Highness the crown prince will not have any accidents in the territory of Chu, and after the wedding, he will send this prince His Royal Highness to leave the Chu country, as long as he leaves the Chu country, no matter what happens to this person, Qi Ning will not care.
