On his way to Damai City, the Taiyi Niu Ben passed through a small seaside town located on the coast.

The men, women and children of all towns all eat only seafood to survive, and the hot pot of cooking time of every household exudes the delicious aroma of steamed seafood.

Prime Minister Ouchi and his entourage, including the imperial physician Niu Ben himself, are all people who have never seen seafood.

A handful of senior officials of a large age were attracted by such a tempting fragrance for the first time. Passing by this town at lunchtime, it was decided to be stationed there at midnight tonight.

In the town's farmer's house, the housewife uses her own soybean sauce to fry sea shells and fried prawns, and makes a few seafood dishes at the back end, which is really fragrant.

At the dinner table, the imperial physician Niu Ben was greedy and greedy. Prime Minister Ouchi also restrained his appetite and didn't eat too much seafood.

The five entourages, following the blessing of the master, all squatted in the housewife's kitchen, and they were also happy to relieve their addictions. Too hungry. Eat a large pot of sea shells.

That night, after Taiyi Niu Ben's stomach was full and everyone fell asleep comfortably, at midnight, Taiyi Niu Ben suddenly ran out to find herbs to treat his serious illness.

He was allergic to seafood, his whole body was swollen, and his face was distorted. In the middle of the night, no one noticed that the imperial physician Niu Ben had already run out alone to look for herbs.

The next day, everyone got up and prepared to set off on the road, only to find that the Taiyi Niu Ben was missing.

Prime Minister Ouchi, hurriedly dispatched his entourage to look for the Imperial Physician Niu Ben, and the entire town was covered with Bala, and there was no trace of the Imperial Physician Niu Ben.

Prime Minister Ouchi thought about it again and again, and was afraid that he would delay in solving the more important things that happened in Damai City, so he had to leave the imperial doctor Niu Ben and leave.

After a few days of hurrying, I finally arrived at Damai City, and Prime Minister Ouchi was greeted by the new and arranged post house.

Returning to his official residence, he instructed his subordinates to start preparing good drinks and meals, and he wanted to personally entertain the prime minister of Guyan Guoda.

The window of the small building was opened, the flower stamen nodded, the singer played the piano, and the poetry and book interest were all greeted. Prime Minister Ouchi sat cross-legged on a mat with a table full of delicacies in front of him.

Stepping towards the new person, pour wine for the prime minister who has come from afar. Eat a few bites of food and drink it with a glass of wine.

Liu Qin, the gray-bearded prime minister, took the initiative to open the conversation and asked

"Well, thank you for your kindness, old man.

This happened suddenly, and the old man has been worried, how is our Emperor Majesty? ”

In order not to cause too much panic, he moved towards the new letter sent to Gu Yanguo, just urging the prime minister to come quickly, and the major events that happened were not leaked.

Putting down the wine glass in his hand, he said slowly towards a new seriousness

"To tell you the truth, His Majesty the Emperor of Wanzhi has passed away. Now ......"

Before he finished speaking, the prime minister had already dropped the wine glass in his hand, was shocked, and asked loudly in a hurry

"When will you die, Aiqing, you can say it quickly."

Xiang Xin gently relaxed the expression on his face he didn t want to engage in the prime minister liu qin was too nervous and said lightly

"It's just, the suddenness of death. Come quickly. ”

Prime Minister Liu Qin's face was red, and he scratched his ears and cheeks and asked

"Death. Why is it all of a sudden, just like this, His Majesty the Emperor's health has always been very good. ”

Towards the new silently look, Prime Minister Liu Qin, asked

"Imperial Doctor, the Niu Ben mentioned in your reply, Imperial Doctor Niu, why didn't he come with him?"

Prime Minister Liu Qin was silent for a long time, and sighed in his mouth

"It's a long story, it's on the way. Stationed in a small seaside town, Niu Ben was lost in his whereabouts.

Ay. It's a disaster. Yes! ”

Hearing that the imperial physician of the ancient Yan Kingdom did not come, his heart sank towards the new, and the emperor died suddenly, and the imperial physician was needed to diagnose and find out the reason.

There are also good doctors in his own Damai City, but with such an arrangement, the real cause of the emperor's death will be more complicated.

Invisibly, Damai City was involved, and the direction of the development of the situation made Xiang Xin even more worried.

He had to bear the most difficult struggle for the succession of the prince, and had to slow down and stay in this explosive hurricane.

Both of them were silent for a long time, each with their own thoughts, the wine glass was raised and drank it all, and the prime minister Liu Qin sighed lightly and said

"It must be promulgated as soon as possible, and the new prince will succeed to the throne.

A nation shall not be left without an owner for a day.

Hey, the world is unpredictable, and sooner or later the world will be in chaos.

I don't know if you and I can be alone in troubled times. ”

Xiang Xin waved his hand, comforted Prime Minister Liu Qin, gently took a sip of his wine glass, and said continuously

I can't help myself, I was originally out of the emperor's house, where there is still a chance to go, what are you afraid of,

Chaos follows them, and heroes have emerged from troubled times since ancient times. ”

Prime Minister Liu Qin changed his words

"Then, my Gu Yan Kingdom, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still there, is your detention place?"

Step into the new, smile, and lower your voice

"You, don't worry too much, it's not just His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who is here with me,

Even my predecessor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who fled from the Guyan Kingdom, is also with me.

There is also the new imperial concubine, all of whom are in custody in my Ouchi prison. ”

After listening to the new words, Prime Minister Liu Qin's face changed unpredictably, and after a while, he changed to a flattering expression and asked tentatively

"Well, this thing is really, a bit of a coincidence.

Ay! Let the old decay, I admire you from the bottom of my heart. ”

Towards the new, he blinked his eyes slightly, looked at Prime Minister Liu Qin's expression, smiled faintly, and said with heartfelt emotion

"His Majesty the Emperor of Wanzhi is also a generation of heroes.

The lifeblood of Gu Yan Kingdom, in the hands of his old man, has been calm for all these years. ”

Prime Minister Liu Qin smiled more positively

"yes, yes."

Towards the new, go straight to the point, change the conversation, not hide your thoughts, and blurt out

"It's better for you to quickly decide on the candidate for the new prince. Without further ado, find out sooner. ”

Prime Minister Liu Qin, after thinking for a moment, his face changed slightly, and he replied casually

"Then, you see, which prince is Mingjun?

This is a major matter, related to the fate of the country, and also involves you and me, each other's net worth. ”

"What's more, what's more, it's also a major event for the two countries. Think twice. ”

Walking towards the new, his face twisted, he looked sideways at the prime minister, pulled down his face, deliberately became serious, and said in a heavy tone

"It has to be, hurry up, the new prince will succeed to the throne, this is something I can't wait.

What do you think? ”

Prime Minister Liu Qin, flattened his mouth, nodded and said

"Yes, a new prince must succeed him.

So which crown prince is the most suitable to succeed to the throne? ”

Towards the new hesitated for a long time, justified

"The succession of the prince to the throne is your prime minister, and you should have thought about it in your heart. Why did you come here and ask me instead? ”

Prime Minister Liu Qin frowned

"The problem is that now His Majesty the Emperor has not issued any edicts. How do you tell me to make a prince? ”

Towards a new smile asked

"You, Gu Yanguo, haven't you always had Wan Yanjia as the crown prince?"

Prime Minister Liu Qin said worriedly

"The problem is that His Majesty the Emperor died suddenly and violently, in your wheat city.

If I take the place of the first emperor without permission,

The promulgation of an edict to privately appoint the crown prince to succeed to the throne may be unconvincing. ”

This remark just goes to the point, and when I move towards a new heart, I also have a lot of concerns. Both of them began to be silent and drank sullen wine.

The Imperial Physician Niu Ben was left in a small seaside town, and with the help of a Persian caravan, he arrived at the city of Damai a day later.

Because, all the luggage was carried away by Liu Qin, the prime minister of Ouchi. The identity of the imperial physician Niu Ben became a commoner, and he was exiled to the neighborhood of Damai City.

The samurai Yuri has also been living on the streets, and coincidentally, the imperial physician Niu Ben and Yuri happened to meet in a snack bar.

After the two met, the samurai Yuri told everything that happened that day in detail, and the imperial physician Niu Ben knew the whole truth.

Honghua sat alone in the cage, and she didn't touch the pickles and porridge that were placed there.

The jailer came over to take a look, and the princess Honghua, who looked arrogant but had sloppy clothes. Silently stooped down to pick up the tray where the food was placed.

No one came to visit, and my sister Jinhua seemed to be like her, regardless of herself, and there was no news sent in.

It's useless to be angry, there's no point in making noise, no one pays attention to herself at all, and Honghua, who is extremely depressed, has only hunger strike, and she hasn't eaten a bite of food for three days.

The jailer guarding was still the same, and he didn't say a word of persuasion, but let her be like this, hungry all the time.

The most absurd thing in the world, with the efforts of the timid Prime Minister Liu Qin, coupled with the self-preservation of the new brewing system, was born naturally.

The crown prince Wan Yanjia and his younger brother, Wan Laile, were taken into a secret room. Sitting around an ordinary table of eight immortals.

looked at Prime Minister Liu Qin, a bamboo stick bucket in his hand. Stepping into the new stand aside to oversee.

In the bamboo stick bucket, there were only four bamboo sticks, Liu Qin cleared his throat and said loudly

"Today, your brothers,

Just like that, take it by hand, bamboo sticks.

to decide, who is the successor to the throne. Be the new emperor of the ancient Yan Kingdom. ”

Wan Laile sneered mockingly

"I just heard that the lottery can determine the winner or loser. I haven't seen it, but the lottery can actually determine the monarch. ”

Wan Yanjia even laughed sneeringly

"Prime Minister, you are addicted to gambling equipment.

Draw lots to choose the emperor, you can figure it out.

I know that your sticks and these sticks won't hide anything. ”

Prime Minister Liu Qin argued very seriously

"There's nothing hidden, agency, I really don't dare to do this, just do it.

No, you two brothers check it out together. ”

While speaking, Prime Minister Liu Qin took the initiative to turn the stick holder in his hand upside down and spilled out the four bamboo sticks. Shaking the stick holder vigorously in the air, one hand carefully pulling, the few bamboo sticks that fell on the table.

Wan Yanjia first picked up a bamboo skewer and glanced at the skewer, which read, "Shang".

Wan Laile felt ridiculous about such an arrangement from the bottom of his heart, with a disdainful expression on his face, sitting aside, lazily touching those bamboo sticks.

Wan Yanjia is the opposite, he feels fresh and fun, more exciting, his heart is itching, ready to move.

Prime Minister Liu Qin sorted out the sticks and bamboo sticks, put them back, and arranged them well. Begin to shake vigorously, shake it twice.

Then, he gently placed the holder in the middle of the table. Wait for the two princes and take the sign with their own hands.

Wan Laile had no intention of being an emperor, and he was not used to many new national policies made by the current Emperor Wan Yu in power, and he was very opposed to it.

In the months since he left Guyan Kingdom, Wan Laile has thoroughly experienced how free and easy it is to live as a commoner.

Today's lottery made him feel angry and funny.

Seeing his younger brother's immobile posture, Wan Yanjia took a stick first, he didn't look at it, but handed it to Prime Minister Liu Qin. Liu Qin glanced at the skewer and was silent for a long time.

Wan Yanjia said coldly to her younger brother

"Come on, see how lucky you are, the ancestor has long eyes, and he sees you. Come on, don't pretend. ”

Wan Laile couldn't help it, couldn't stand the persecution of others, and reluctantly took a stick and handed it to Xiangxin.

Towards the new look at the sign, announced loudly

"Yes, that 'Shang' seems to be providential, and Providence is difficult to do.

There is a god in the underworld, Your Highness, you are, the new prince. ”

Wan Yanjia shouted in surprise

"What's my sign. Old bald donkey, you haven't moved for a long time, hurry up. ”

Prime Minister Liu Qin replied boldly and slowly

"There are only four sticks, and there is only one that says 'on', and nothing else.

You, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, take this stick, you can see for yourself. ”

Wan Yanjia snatched it away, and the sign in the prime minister's hand stared at her, but she really didn't write anything.
