Chapter 433: The Man of Yaxian?
Didn't give Li Qing much time to think, the next thing was naturally a series of cumbersome rituals, on the white jade square before the Taimiao, there were Taiyi, Tianyi, Zhaoyao, Xuanyuan, Xianchi, Qinglong, Taiyin, Tianfu Sheti nine altars, the nine altars were extremely tall, and the nine palaces were neatly distributed on the white jade square.

The royal sacrificial rites are complicated, and the whole sacrificial process has been carried out for about an hour, Rao is Li Qing's perseverance can hardly hold on, fortunately, there are Yongwang and others beside him, Li Qing only needs to imitate their movements, plus the deliberate mention of King Yan on the side, Li Qing did not have the slightest mistake.
After doing everything, Li Qing unconsciously wiped the sweat on his forehead, at this moment, Li Qing really felt that instead of participating in such a complicated and silent sacrifice, it was better to have a bloody wind on the battlefield, after all, such a quiet and quiet atmosphere made Li Qing, who had been away from Beijing for half a year, very uncomfortable.
Seeing Li Qing behaving like this, Li Jue, the king of Yan, who had always stood beside Li Qing from beginning to end, said: "It's no wonder that even you can't stand it, there are very few princes present at such a sacrificial ceremony who can stand it, they have always been pampered, how can they withstand such an ordeal." ”
The two are both ten kings, their identities and status are roughly the same, plus they are of similar age, one is the eighteenth prince and the other is the twentieth prince, although the two of them are not brothers at this moment, but I have to say that after a short time together, both Li Qing and Yanwang Li Jue have a good impression of each other.
Compared with the hypocrisy and grievances between other princes, on the surface they are like brothers, but secretly they are eager to trample each other under their feet, Li Qing and the two get along very happily, King Yan has no background, but he can be firmly among the ten kings, and he has always remained immobile in the face of the repeated exclusion of the prince and King Yong, whether it is scheming or means, King Yan is not as easy to deal with as it seems on the surface.
King Yan is a smart person, at this moment, after half a year of military career Li Qing is also not simple, the two can naturally see the sincerity in each other's eyes, although both King Yan and Li Qing are friends with a purpose, but the two did not hide their purpose at all, Li Qing thought, I am afraid this is the reason why the two can really make friends.
Sometimes it's better to be frank than trying to hide your purpose, and sometimes, you can also achieve unexpected results without concealing it, after all, people like King Yan, who are at the pinnacle of the core decision-making level of the Tang Dynasty, what they value is not what you can get, but what benefits they can get from joining forces.
At this moment, Li Qing and King Yan and King Di joined forces, which is undoubtedly a win-win thing, Li Qin takes a fancy to the connections and information of the two kings who are entrenched in Beijing all the year round, and the two of them are interested in Li Qing's favor in front of his father and the prime minister group behind King Shou today.
Now the prince's party is strong during the day, and King Yong is gradually flying high, and the ten kings have broken the final balance because King Sheng suddenly joined the prince's party.
Hearing King Yan's words, but Li Qing was curious for a while, he looked at the surrounding Yongwang and others and some ordinary princes standing behind the six kings, sure enough, many people were flushed, sweaty, and tired, among the six kings, the four princes Di Wang and Yongwang were the most unbearable, if it weren't for the fact that they were the leaders of the clan, I am afraid that the two of them would be exhausted at the moment.
Want to compare the unbearable of King Yu Yong and King Di, Li Qi, the king of Sheng who stood next to King Yan, and Li Li, the king of Heiqing, who stood at the head of the six kings, also surprised Li Qing, King Sheng is okay, King Sheng has been so strong since he was a child, even if he is tired in his heart, he still has to pretend to be calm on the surface.
What makes Li Qing really jealous is that standing in the first place, who has just turned eighteen years old, is the young and frivolous King Siqing who can't stand the slightest grievance, the face of the King of Siqing at this moment is resolute, there is no tiredness, and there is no impetuousness at this age.
And looking at his words and deeds, Li Qing has been able to perceive that this King Siqing who he has never met is a person with a resolute personality, compared to Prince Sheng and others, what this King Siqing lacks is only a little less forbearance, and he is not good at hiding his hatred, but this is completely related to his age and experience, if it is tempered, this King Siqing will definitely become the first big opponent after the prince.
If this King Siqing really grows up, I'm afraid that even the powerful King Yongwang can't compete with one of them, not for anything else, with the support of the emperor's eldest son, King Tan, King Siqing definitely has this capital, although King Siqing has lived in simplicity over the years, not asking about political affairs, and Li Qing has no contact with him, but through King Tan's series of actions, King Siqing has been pushed to the cusp, Li Qing is clearly aware that the reason why this King Tan has been living in simplicity is not really pessimistic.
In the past, the reason why he showed that Qianlong was in the abyss was completely because King Siqing had not grown up and did not want to attract the attention of people with hearts, but now King Siqing is eighteen years old, and his first generation has been canonized as a second-class heir king.
You don't have to think about it to know that with the strong entry of King Siqing, the court will definitely be more exciting in the future, thinking of this, Li Qing couldn't help frowning secretly, and secretly sighed, his opponents are stronger than the other, originally there was a prince and an enemy who had let Li Qing escape from death countless times, and now if you add King Yong and King Tan behind King Siqing, Li Qing really doubts, is it right or wrong to return to Beijing this time?
Moreover, in the course of the sacrificial ceremony just now, to everyone's expectations, after all the clan personnel and hundreds of officials worshipped, according to the rules, three generations of outstanding people from the clan were still required to be selected from the clan to offer wine three times.
After all, although Zong Zhengqing is a side royal family, but after all, he is the only remaining elder in the Li Tang clan, and he is very prestigious in the hearts of the clan and others, and no one dares to question Zong Zhengqing as the final dedication, but what really surprised Li Qing was that many people, including Li Qing, thought that he would be the crown prince standing at the head of the ten kings, but the facts were indeed beyond Li Qing's expectations, when Zong Zhengqing read out the king of Heiqing as the candidate for Yaxian, Rao was the prince's perennial mood and temperament couldn't help but have a gloomy face.
It's just that although the prince's face is gloomy, he doesn't suspect King Yan who is standing next to Li Qing with a calm face, although everyone knows the relationship between King Yan and the current Zong Zhengqing, but with the prince's vision and scheming, he can naturally guess such a major sacrificial gift, if there is no nod from the emperor, even with Zong Zhengqing's prestige and power, he will not be able to arrange King Heiqing to take his place without authorization.
Li Qing has no doubt that after the revelation of this royal sacrifice, King Siqing will definitely have a lot of followers above the court, because, after this time, the civil and military officials found out that in addition to the prestigious Ten Kings in the original clan, there is such a King Siqing who can suppress the Ten Kings, and many people have already made up their minds that once the sacrifice is over, they must make friends with this King Siqing!
