Chapter 115: Who Won
Ancestor worship is a big event, and before dawn, everyone is already busy. Lin Chenhao must get up early, and after washing, he simply ate some breakfast. Breakfast was the same as usual, with some porridge and side dishes, but today was a little different, and the imperial dining room prepared some extra pastries.
Lin Chenan picked up a piece and looked at it: "What's going on?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, this is specially prepared by the imperial dining room!" The little father-in-law lowered his head and returned: "Maybe I'm afraid that Your Majesty will get tired of eating porridge!" ”
"Get down!" Lin Chenan said without hesitation, and then took the porridge dishes that had been tested for poison: "Check it out!" ”
There are four kinds of porridge today, and Lin Chen'an ate pumpkin porridge alone, which is a kind that is rarely eaten, but because of this, the imperial dining room also makes less. However, because it is the emperor's breakfast, even if you eat less, you must ensure that it appears regularly, after all, the emperor's mind is incomprehensible. For example, today, no one would have thought that he would suddenly choose a kind of food that he usually does not eat at all.
After breakfast, Lin Chen'an freshened up again, and then got dressed under the service of the palace maid and eunuch. Ancestor worship is a big event, the dress should be extraordinarily grand, everyone is extremely attentive, and the movements of the hands are also very fast, but even so, it took a full half an hour to tidy up.
"Your Majesty, the ministers are already waiting!" The little father-in-law ran briskly back and forth.
"Hmm." Lin Chen'an replied lightly, they would leave the palace for a certain amount of time, so naturally they would not leave in advance, but this would be almost.
Lin Chen'an glanced at the dormitory, and then asked, "Is there a problem with today's pastries?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, everything has been checked out, and there are no problems. It was made by a little cook in the imperial dining room, and I didn't do it on weekdays, but the first time I did it, I accidentally used the materials special for His Majesty, so I presented it! The little father-in-law explained with a smile: "The imperial dining room has already punished him!" ”
"It's not a big deal, so it's postponed, today is the day to worship the ancestors, don't collide!" Good morning Lin said.
"Your Majesty, please come up!" At this moment, the salute suddenly came from outside the door, and it seemed that the time was almost up!
Lin Chen'an got up, and at the same time, all the people around him knelt down: "Respectfully ask Your Majesty!" ”
When he came to the door, Long Yuan had already been prepared, Lin Chen'an stepped forward step by step, until he did it steadily, and the ceremonial officer sang and said: "Get up!" ”
Lin Chenan's dormitory is still far from the palace gate, but now he is not going to leave the palace directly, but to meet with the ministers first. In the square, the ministers were already standing neatly, and when they saw Lin Chen's good morning, they knelt on the ground at the same time and shouted long live.
"Flat!" After Lin Chen'an got down, he stood on the highest place. At this time, the little father-in-law took out a holy decree, and all the words written on it were scenes, and only after reading it did he respectfully retreat.
Then Lin Chen'an took the ministers step by step to the palace gate.
Outside the palace gate, many people gathered here to watch the excitement, but they were afraid of the majesty of the guards and did not dare to get too close.
Due to the long distance, Lin Chen'an has a special carriage, and those high-ranking ministers also have special treatment, although it is not a person and a carriage, but there is no need to go step by step, as for those petty officials, no one cares about it, and can only slowly follow behind and move forward on foot.
The road to Chong'an Mountain is quite calm, and the time is just right, and it has arrived at an auspicious time after a slight adjustment after going up the mountain.
The ancestor worship ceremony has officially begun!
Ancestor worship is a very boring thing, every year is like this, Lin Chenan first knelt down to worship heaven and earth, and then knelt down to worship ancestors, the interesting thing is that even if Lin Chenan didn't want to admit it, he did bow down to the ancestors of the Luo family. He didn't change his surname, but everyone in the world knows that he is the bloodline left behind by the Luo family!
After kneeling, Lin Chen'an took the wine handed over by Ding Hai, a total of three nine cups, the cups fell to the ground, the first three cups were dedicated to the sky, the third cup was to the earth, and the last three cups were to the ancestors.
Halfway through the sacrifice to the ancestors, the surrounding guards all looked solemn, even the shadows hidden in the shadows.
"Are you really not coming?" The shadow felt a little strange, and if that was the case, then he had to be on guard tonight.
In fact, without his knowledge, the people of Qingzao had already infiltrated the palace, and no one knew about their existence, but they quietly approached Lin Chen's bedroom.
When the sacrifice arrives here, it is the time for Lin Chen'an to speak by himself, which is very boring, but it is just self-reflection and words to motivate the people. After saying this, Lin Chenan wanted to drink a glass of wine, and then threw the wine glass to the ground, which symbolized prosperity every year.
The wine had been prepared a long time ago, but when Ding Hai handed it over, Lin Chenan did not accept it. Ding Hai was very surprised.
"Your Majesty?"
Lin Chenan looked at the glass of wine, didn't speak, just glanced at the little father-in-law, who didn't know where to pour a glass of wine, and knelt respectfully to present it.
Lin Chen's morning took the wine and drank it all!
Ding Hai was stunned, he brought his own wine to the ancestor worship site? This is the first time he has encountered it, but anyway, since it is already like this, he can only continue to carry it out, and the wine glass that should have been thrown on the ground in his hand can only be placed on the tray of the little father-in-law.
General Yu and Prime Minister Guo were very close, they could see clearly and looked at each other, but they didn't say anything, and the power had never happened.
"Licheng!" Ding Hai shouted, the ancestor worship ceremony has ended here.
After worshipping his ancestors, Lin Chen'an rested for a while in Chong'an Mountain, and planned to leave for the palace, but at this time, he suddenly felt unwell, from a slight dizziness at the beginning, to a coma later.
"Escort!" The little father-in-law exclaimed: "Call the Imperial Doctor!" ”
Ancestor worship is a big event, many people are still there, and Lin Chen'an's situation is not suitable for too many people to know, so this little father-in-law only mobilized manpower in a small area, and secretly ordered the chief of the guard to strengthen his vigilance and not let anyone go down the mountain.
"Your Majesty, this is poisoned!"
One sentence stunned everyone present, how could they still be poisoned when they were already so careful?
"Wine!" The little father-in-law instantly thought of a possibility: "Your Majesty only drank wine in Chong'an Mountain!" ”
The guards hurriedly brought wine and wine glasses, and there were two people with them, one was General Yu Da, and the other was Prime Minister Guo. They are not stupid, this movement can hide from others, but it can't hide from them.
"What's going on?" The general was taken aback by the sight in front of him.
"Your Majesty suddenly fell unconscious, and the imperial doctor said that he was poisoned!" The little father-in-law was already crying: "But Your Majesty didn't touch anything at all in Chong'an Mountain, the wine was brought out of the palace, and the slaves have already tried it, it's not poisonous!" ”
As he spoke, the imperial doctor had already detected it clearly, and said with certainty: "Wine is not poisonous!" ”
At this time, the scope is very large, and the entire Chong'an Mountain is possible.
"We have always been with Your Majesty, why are we all okay? It must be something that His Majesty has touched alone! Prime Minister Guo analyzed.
It's just that while speaking, the little father-in-law seems to be a little wrong, and he gradually feels a little dizzy.
"Imperial Doctor!" After all, the general is a person who practices martial arts, and he is naturally more sensitive to the environment around him, and he instantly discovered the abnormality of the little father-in-law.
"It's the same poison!" After taking the pulse, the imperial doctor said affirmatively: "But my father-in-law is not deeply poisoned!" ”
"You can probably tell what kind of poison it is?" Prime Minister Guo asked: "Detoxify Your Majesty immediately!" ”
"Minister, incompetent!" The imperial doctor sighed: "I just can't see any poison, and the minister has nothing to do!" ”
Just when a few people were in a hurry, the general suddenly discovered a very special situation, the poisoned little father-in-law did not seem to continue to deteriorate, so he simply summoned all the imperial doctors over and interrogated the little father-in-law collectively.
Because he is a personal eunuch, the little father-in-law and Lin Chen'an have almost the same contact with things, and even what Lin Chen'an has eaten and drunk, he is also over his mouth, so he can never be a murderer.
"Could it be that he has been poisoned in the palace? But only now? Prime Minister Guo wondered.
"It's not that this possibility is impossible, but at the moment nothing is certain, and the most important thing now is to block the news so as not to cause confusion!" The general turned around, and the person who came in turned out to be Zhang Quanmiao.
"How do you know?" The general looked at him suspiciously.
"If it drags on any longer, everyone will know!" Zhang Quanmiao did not answer him directly.
"Tell me to go down, and say that Your Majesty will stay in Chong'an Mountain tonight!" The general commanded the guards.
"No way!" It was Ah Qi who interrupted him this time, the general had not seen the shadow, but it did not prevent him from knowing that Ah Qi was Lin Chen's person.
"If you really stay, I'm afraid you'll be fooled!" Ah Qi didn't agree with the general's idea: "At this time, I'm afraid it was also calculated by the other party, if you stay in Chong'an Mountain, the terrain here is complicated, and it is difficult to ensure that it is foolproof!" ”
The shadow in the shadows thought about it, it seemed that this was indeed the case, he had suspected that he would assassinate him in the palace before, but if he wanted to compare it with Chong'an Mountain, the palace was indeed much safer.
"Now that the ministers are outside, Your Majesty will be found to be abnormal as soon as he goes out!" Zhang Quanmiao thought for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty has just been assassinated before, and it has already caused panic!" ”
"Even so, I bother the three adults to go out and dismiss the ministers, and my subordinates will find a way to take His Majesty away!" Ah Qi looked at Lin Chen'an, still unconscious: "If you delay it any longer, I'm afraid it will be worse!" ”
That's true, although there is an imperial doctor with the ancestor worship this time, but the palace is more suitable, and now I can only bring it back first!
"Good!" The general, Prime Minister Guo and Zhang Quanmiao looked at each other, but they still responded, and now this is the best way.
When the three of them left, Ah Qi didn't move, but began to look around, and finally stared in the direction of the shadow: "Still not coming out?" Only you can do it! ”
