"Go and see, what's going on?" Li Ruliu said coldly.

The chamberlain beside her answered "yes", and then hurriedly ran out of the palace gate to take a look. It didn't take long for the waiter to run back and bow back to Li Ruliu: "Your Majesty, there are many ministers kneeling outside the palace. ”

Li Ruliu frowned slightly after hearing this, and before she could tell how to deal with it, Li Nianjun, who was sitting next to her, turned her head and asked Li Ruliu: "Queen Mother, do we still want to worship our ancestors?" ”

Li Ruliu looked at Li Nianjun and said, "Nianjun, remember, when you become a king in the future, you will encounter many people who will embarrass you and bother you. But you can't back down, you have to be brave enough to face it, you know? ”

"Yes, the boy understands." Li Nianjun nodded and said to the inner attendant: "Don't pay attention to them, order people to move on." If anyone dares to stop the king, arrest them immediately! ”

"Yes." The chamberlain responded, and then secretly glanced at Li Ruliu, meaning to ask Li Ruliu whether Li Nianjun's order should be carried out.

Li Ruliu nodded slightly. The chamberlain shouted: "Get up"

"Queen Mother, why are all the ministers of the court and China opposing the child inheriting your throne? They all said that the child's origin was unknown and his background was suspicious. Queen mother, why is the child's origin unknown and suspicious background? Li Nianjun looked at Li Ruliu and asked.

Li Ruliu stretched out his hand to hold Li Nianjun in his arms, and said in a weak voice: "Silly boy, how can you come from an unknown source? Are you the son of the queen mother? ”

"Then who is the father of the child? Where is he? Li Nianjun seemed to be in a hurry to ask this question, and hurriedly asked as soon as Li Ruliu finished speaking.

Although this kid is smart, he is still a little stunned after all. From his tone, Li Ruliu could tell that the last question that this little guy actually wanted to ask the most.

However, he was afraid that he would get angry if he asked this question directly, so he first introduced the question with other topics.

Li Ruliu smiled silently in his heart, and said to himself: "Sure enough, he is worthy of being his child, and his temperament is exactly the same as him, especially this cunning energy." ”

Li Ruliu reached out and touched Li Nianjun's little head, and said with some difficulty: "Your father is a man who stands up to the sky and the earth, and he is a great hero who is admired. Now the time is not ripe, when you grow up a little more, when the time is a little more ripe, the queen mother will let you go to him. ”

"Queen Mother" Li Nianjun called her in a thick coquettish tone, in fact, he was urging her to tell him how to find his father earlier.

Out of the palace, as the chamberlain said, all the ministers knelt on the wide road outside the palace. As soon as they saw Li Ruliu's king come out, all the ministers shouted in unison: "Ask Your Majesty to take back your fate." ”

The honor guard paused as a whole, Li Ruliu took a deep breath, and forcibly said in a voice that was neutral after all: "Continue to move forward, no stop." Anyone who dares to stop him will be put in a water prison immediately! ”

"Yes!" The palace guards all responded, and the long guard of honor continued.

The ministers did not dare to forcibly stop it, but just knelt on the ground and kept shouting, "Please take back your majesty's order"

When the honor guard had all passed, the ministers immediately stood up and followed behind the honor guard. As they walked, the ministers shouted, "Please take back your life." ”

Exiting the royal road outside the palace, the guard of honor turned into the street. Both sides of the street were already full of onlookers, whispering as soon as they saw the honor guard come out.

The words spoken by those people were insinuating, and some of them were even unbearable.

It is impossible to say that Li Ruliu didn't feel anything after hearing it. However, Li Ruliu opened his mouth lightly, shook his lower lip with his teeth, and forcibly held back.

The minister behind the honor guard was still shouting: "Please take back your order!" ”

At first, it was nothing, but soon the people on both sides of the street joined in the call.

The people shouted one after another: "Please take back your life." ”

"No one of unknown origin must be allowed to steal the throne!"

The shouts came one after another, and Li Ruliu's beautiful eyes were already red, but she insisted on not letting the tears fall.

It's Li Nianjun, tears are like rain lines, and they keep falling from their eyes.

Li Ruliu snorted: "Don't cry!" Wipe away tears! ”

Li Nianjun silently raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, although the tears were still flowing, he had already shown that he was strong and did not belong to an eight-year-old child at all.

Li Ruliu looked at Li Nianjun, who kept wiping his tears, but did not cry. She couldn't help but wonder if she was too cruel to him like this.

Persisting all the way forward, listening to the opposing voices that sounded all the way, Li Ruliu's honor guard finally arrived at the entrance of the Taimiao.

Outside the entrance, Li Zhiba, who was dressed in armor, and Pei Xianlin, who was dressed in official uniform, were standing there.

Seeing the two of them, Li Ruliu felt like she had eaten two reassuring pills.

In the entire Annan Kingdom, there are only two people who can unswervingly support her, and there are only so many people who understand her.

Seeing the honor guard coming, Li Zhiba and Pei Xianlin knelt on the ground together, and shouted: "Welcome to His Majesty the King!" ”

Li Ruliu's face finally showed a smile.

But this smile quickly froze, because she saw that the ministers of civil and military affairs actually ran to the entrance quickly, and directly blocked the entire entrance with their bodies.

Cui Xian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is an old minister who is almost sixty years old.

He knelt alone at the front and shouted, "Ask Your Majesty to take back your life." The throne of king must not be passed to a person of unknown origin. Annan cannot be reduced to a laughing stock! If His Majesty the King insists on doing so today, please kill the old minister immediately, and then step over the old minister's corpse! ”

"Please kill us and wait for the king, and then step over the corpse of our wait." The ministers shouted in unison.

Li Zhuba and Pei Xianlin glanced at each other, he looked around outside, and couldn't help muttering: "Didn't that kid from Jiangxia promise this king to find a way?" Why hasn't it shown up yet. ”

Pei Xianlin handed a look to Li Zhiba, and then looked at his nose and nose, and instantly opened the old monk's state of concentration.

Li Zhiba looked at Pei Xianlin and almost didn't scold his mother. This old fox is clearly trying to throw me this problem in front of him.

Li Zhengba stomped his feet angrily, then walked in front of Cui Xian and said, "Elder Cui, you are such an old person, this ground is cold and hard, how hard it is to kneel." Why don't you hurry up and wait for His Majesty the King to finish the ancestor worship ceremony first, and then we will slowly discuss what you are talking about. ”

Cui Xian glanced up at Li Zhiba, and said unceremoniously: "Lord Wang, don't talk, I won't be fooled by you." Who in the entire Annan Kingdom does not know that you are the No. 1 hob meat in Annan, and if we get out of the way today, the throne of the king of Annan will have to fall into the hands of outsiders whose origin is unknown. ”

"What is the origin unknown, Lao Tzu has said it hundreds of times, that is the son of the king Xià, the son of the king Xià, you don't understand the fuck or what?"

"What about Father? Who is the father of the child? In the face of Li Zhiba's yelling, Cui Xian didn't mean to retreat at all, he yelled at him with his neck, from the momentum point of view, Cui Xian not only did not lose to Li Zhiba, but also slightly beat Li Zhengba.

"If a child has no father, he or she is of unknown origin. gave birth to a child before marriage, do you know what such an heir should call the prince? It's called wild seed! ”

"You old immortal, what nonsense are you talking about?" Li Zhiba roared, and immediately pressed his right hand on his knife handle, and he had the urge to kill Cui Xian with a knife, Cui Xian's words were indeed too much, and he dared to say that the king's son was a wild seed.

"What did you say?" Li Ruliu couldn't sit still, lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, glared at Cui Xian and said, "You are looking for death"

"Poof!" Li Ruliu's breath was not smooth, and he suddenly vomited blood.

"Queen Mother!" Li Nianjun screamed in panic.

But Cui Xian still didn't give up, and said: "Kill, kill, anyway, today I, Cui Xian, am also ready to die, the child has no father, that is"

"Who says children don't have a father?" A roar of anger was like a spring thunder on the tongue, and almost everyone was shocked by this question.

Everyone turned their heads to look at it, and Li Zhiba suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "Thank God, you're finally here." ”

Jiang Xia, accompanied by Hai Dayou and Xiao Shu, stood not far from the honor guard.

When the three kings and one duke seized the throne, Cui Xian, as an old minister, had experienced it, so when he saw Jiang Xia, he had a familiar feeling, but he couldn't remember Jiang Xia's identity.

Li Ruliu, who was in the canopy sedan chair, turned her head to look at Jiang Xia's side, and the tears that she had been holding back finally couldn't help but flow out, and she kept repeating a sentence in her mouth: "You're here, you're here."

Jiang Xia shouted: "The child's father, it's me!" ”

"Huh? He is the father of His Royal Highness the Prince? "Who is he?" "What? If someone casually thinks that he is the father of His Royal Highness the Prince, is His Royal Highness not identified? It's still not right. ”

Cui Xian asked Jiang Xia, "Who are you?" Why should I believe what you say? ”

Jiang Xia sneered, walked over step by step, and said, "What? I'm gone for a few years, and you don't know me anymore? Boss Cui! ”

Jiang Xia walked up to Cui Xian, he stretched out his hand to Hai Dayou beside him, and Hai Dayou immediately gave him a scroll.

Jiang Xia unfolded the scroll and said, "His Majesty the former king personally decreed that the horse I made was sealed, and also passed the throne to me. And because I am Han Chinese, I feel inconvenient to inherit the throne, so I transferred the throne to Her Royal Highness the Princess.

In this matter, Guannan King Li Zhengba can testify! Pei Xianlin, the Duke of Annan, can testify! The edict of succession in my hand can bear witness! Master Cui, if you weren't confused, I'm afraid you could testify, right?

And you guys! ”

Jiang Xia pointed to the courtiers who were kneeling on the ground and shouted: "But all the people who experienced the three kings and one prince fighting for the throne back then, don't you all remember me?" ”

"Master Horse, Jiang Xia!"

"Yes, yes, it's Jiangxia! I remember that if it weren't for him, I am afraid that the king's throne would have been deceived by King Inhyun. ”

"Yes, it's him, it's him."

Li Zhiba took a step forward and said in a loud voice: "I can testify that this is the master of the horse back then, and he is also the husband of His Majesty the King and the father of His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

"I can testify as well." Pei Xianlin, who has been in a state of "settled", also opened his mouth and said.

After so many reminders, Cui Xian naturally remembered, and he said with some excitement: "I remember, I remember that you are a colt, a colt"

Jiang Xia looked at him coldly and asked, "Okay, now do you still doubt that my child has no father?" Do you still say that he is of unknown origin? Now who of you dares to say that he is a wild seed! Who? ”

"I, Jiang Xia, swear here, whoever dares to insult my wife and children like this again, I will take his head and kill his entire family!"

The killing intent in Jiang Xia's words was awe-inspiring, who else would dare to speak out?

Suddenly, the scene of Jiang Xia talking and laughing at the destruction of the three kings and one prince seemed to have appeared in the minds of the courtiers again.

Li Zhiba saw that the ministers had a tendency to retreat, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Sure enough, this kid is still as powerful as he was back then." No, it's even more powerful than it was back then. ”

Li Zhiba finally understood why Jiang Xia only appeared now, and he remembered very well that the edict of succession was placed in the palace.

Jiang Xia glanced at the ministers and shouted: "Now that His Majesty the King wants to pass on the throne to Nian Jun, who wants to stop him?" Nian Jun is now going to complete the ancestor worship ceremony, what are you still kneeling here for? ”

Cui Xian kowtowed heavily in the direction of Li Ruliu, and shouted: "The old minister is confused, and he deserves death." Before His Majesty surrenders, please allow the old minister to write a tribute to the ancestors for the new king. ”

The ministers also immediately kowtowed to Li Ruliu and said: "The ministers are confused, the ministers deserve death, and the ministers welcome Your Majesty." ”

After saying that, the ministers immediately got out of the way and divided into two rows.

Jiang Xia turned his head to look at Li Ruliu, Li Ruliu took Li Nianjun's hand and said, "Quick, Nianjun, this is your father, call your father quickly!" ”

"Father" Li Nianjun spit out a word excitedly, and the rest of him could no longer be called, only tears kept flowing.

Jiang Xia's eyes turned red when he saw Li Ruliu and Li Nianjun.

He thought about whether he would feel strange and nervous when he saw Li Nianjun. But at this moment, he realized that when a father really sees his children, even if he has never met him, he will have a sense of closeness.

Perhaps, this is the legend, the blood is connected.

Jiang Xia walked up to Li Ruliu and reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of Li Ruliu's mouth.

Jiang Xia looked at Li Ruliu and said, "I'm sorry, I'm late." ”

Li Ruliu shook his head and said weakly: "The person who should say I'm sorry is me, and I've been hiding it from you."

Jiang Xia shook his head, then looked at Li Nianjun and said, "No, he is your gift to me. ”

At this moment, Li Nianjun finally straightened out his breath, and cried loudly: "Father! ”

After speaking, Li Nianjun jumped into Jiang Xia's arms, and Jiang Xia also hugged him tightly.
