124. Liang Zhan succeeded to the throne

After Yongyang jumped off the cliff, Chu Bei arched his hand and said in a deep voice: "Lord Dean, Princess Yongyang has jumped off the cliff, is it alive to see people, dead to see corpses, let's continue to look for it?" ”

A cool breeze blew, and the long black and vertical hair was blown up by the wind, and it slapped his face messily, Anwar gently raised the sword eyebrows that flew obliquely, raised the slender black eyes that contained a sharp and sad trace, and looked down the cliff, and there was only a vast sea in his field of vision. Anwar pursed his lips lightly, closed his eyes again, and the feeling in his heart became more and more mixed, Yongyang jumped down Yes, there is no way to know if he will live or not.

Anwar clenched the hollow flying phoenix golden step in his hand, recalling the day he first saw her in the Yongle Palace, and he could still see the faint red on her face on her cheeks to create pure skin like petals as delicate and lovely, every time there was a smile on the slightly flushed face, the brown phoenix eyes would be like autumn water, he still remembered that year, her smile could still have a little shyness like a girl, but he never thought that she would become so hateful now.

Although he wasn't sure if he hated her very much, he was sure that Yongyang's murder of Feng Yuanzhi's family made him regret that he didn't kill her with his own hands.

He never imagined that the last time they would meet and part, it would be in such a way.

In the winter of that year, in the Yongle Palace, her folds of the skirt that were more than three feet long flowed to the ground like snow and moonlight, and when she was gently blessed in front of the emperor, her lowered eyes were slightly raised, and she glanced at him gently, and then boldly asked the emperor to marry her and him in front of everyone. At that time, they were still meeting for the first time, and everything was fine, but if life was only as first seen, how could there be all kinds of tragedies later.

Anhua closed his eyes, glanced at Chu Bei lightly, and said, "Spread the news, Princess Yongyang caused all the Fengjiang family to die because she set fire to the Feng Mansion, and the sinner Yongyang has been personally stabbed by this dean."

Anwar's clear tone seems to be a jewel on the ground, without any tone, but it can make people remember word by word.

The three priests of the three places bowed together and replied, "Yes, Lord Dean." ”

Kyoto, Imperial Palace.

The emperor since Bai Xianghua as a concubine, has been bedridden because of physical illness, the emperor did not see Bai Xianghua for a day, he missed Bai Xianghua for a day, and when the emperor woke up in the early morning, he was anxious to order Eunuch Kang to summon Bai Xianghua in the Yaxiang Palace to his bedroom.

After Bai Xianghua was summoned, he sat on the edge of the emperor's dragon couch, and when he saw that there was sweat on his forehead, he took a handkerchief and gently wiped it off for him.

After Bai Xianghua helped the emperor up and let him lie on the collapse, the emperor reached out and gently stroked Bai Xianghua's face, and said slowly: "Xianghua, I'm afraid that my body is getting worse and worse, and now the ministers in the court are all urging me to determine the heir to the throne, now Jian'er is leaving Beijing, Yuan'er is not suitable, Ah Li is stubborn by nature, and most of the princes in the palace are idle on weekdays, I have thought about it for a long time, Zhan'er is Cheng Zhiyou's best apprentice in Qingming Mountain, and has several years of experience as the president of the trial court, I want to restore his position as the fourth prince and pass the throne to him, What do you think? ”

Bai Xianghua's expression was slightly restrained, he frowned, and said softly: "Chongli, you know that I never wanted Zhan'er to be the emperor. ”

The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice: "I know that since Zhan'er was born, you don't want him to be the emperor one day. ”

Bai Xianghua has been in seclusion outside the palace for 20 years, and the purpose of coming back this time is to prevent the emperor from letting Anwar ascend the throne, otherwise he will never return to the palace. Now that the emperor wants to pass the throne to him, Bai Xianghua is naturally extremely reluctant, as long as she can stop it, she will definitely try her best to stop it.

The emperor's eyes darkened, and he said slowly: "After Ah Li's biological mother passed away, I asked Mo'er to take care of her son, Mo'er was afraid that Zhan'er would not take care of him well, so he sent him to An Linyuan, and I also promised you to let him study with Cheng Zhiyou after he was nine years old, and when he came back, he would be in charge of the trial and punishment court. ”

The words fell for a long time, and they were not able to respond.

In addition to Bai Xianghua's reluctance to let his son be the emperor, it is also because Liang Zhan, that is, Anwar, is not his son at all!

Bai Xianghua recalled the events of the year again, when he fell in love with Yan Aofeng, he already had Anwar, but at that time, he was brought back to the palace by the emperor when he first met the emperor in the palace view of An Zhan Shenjun, and was canonized as Concubine Li, Yan Aofeng hated the emperor because of this, but for Bai Xianghua, he had to pretend that he and she were just confidants and friends in front of the emperor.

Yan Aofeng's father practiced medicine for generations, when Bai Xianghua learned that the queen wanted to take her life, he took the fake death medicine brought by Yan Aofeng, and people could not detect any signs of life within seven days of taking it, every time the queen brought the fetal medicine, she would quietly pour out the decoction, and finally successfully faked death by the hand of the queen, and on the night of the fake death, Yan Aofeng quietly responded outside the palace, and since then the two have returned to the mountains and forests.

And the reason why Yan Aofeng led his subordinates to fight Anwar repeatedly was naturally not to really kill Anwar, but to test what his son had learned from Master Cheng Zhiyou.

Bai Xianghua frowned slightly, and after collecting his breath, he said in a deep voice: Your Majesty, I'm sorry. ”

The emperor raised his tired eyes, raised his eyebrows, and said in a deep voice, "Huh? ”

Seeing Bai Xianghua's solemn expression, the emperor narrowed his expression and said: "The women in the harem who gave birth to sons are all looking forward to their sons becoming emperors, except for you, Xianghua, are you really so resolute not to let Zhan'er be the emperor?" ”

Bai Xianghua bowed slightly, and said, "Yes, the concubine is unwilling to let Zhan'er inherit the throne." ”

The emperor closed his eyes, waved his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Xianghua, I'm sleepy, you can retreat!"

Bai Xianghua was slightly stunned, helped the emperor to lie down, gently pulled the corners of his lips, and said softly: "The concubine is gone, Chongli, you are asleep." ”

The Emperor closed his eyes.

After Bai Xianghua left, the emperor opened his eyes again, summoned Eunuch Kang, and asked him to prepare all the things he needed to write the holy decree. Kang Ruohai respectfully took the holy decree and the jade seal to the palace, the emperor asked the eunuch Kang to help him up, walked to the bookcase in the palace and sat down, Kang Ruohai carefully began to grind, after grinding, the emperor picked up the pen dipped in ink and began to write.

Because of his illness, the emperor's hand holding the pen was a little trembling, and even the words written were a little crooked, and it was only finished after a long time, and then he stamped it with a jade seal with his own hands.

After putting down the brush, the emperor said in a deep voice: "Kang Ruohai, when I leave, you must announce this holy decree to the world, and make the president of the Criminal Court, Anwar, that is, Liang Zhan, the fourth son whom I have not yet recognized, the emperor." ”

Eunuch Kang cautiously took the holy decree, frowned, and said, "Your Majesty, but the noble concubine Niangniang is not willing to let the four princes inherit the throne, this is ............ I'm afraid that's not good. ”

The emperor sighed quietly, waved his hand, and said slowly: "This is a major national event, and I have to take care of the overall situation, what I can't do for her in this life, let's make it up to her in the next life." ”

Eunuch Kang had no choice but to answer: "Huh! ”

Three days and three nights later, in the early morning, in the emperor's bedroom.

Before the dragon collapsed, Eunuch Kang knelt down with a thud and cried: "The emperor has died!" ”

The ministers of the court and the ladies of the palace knelt down in front of the gate of the palace, and Eunuch Kang read out the edict and said: "Fengtian carrier, the first emperor's edict said, Anwar, the president of the trial court, was originally my fourth prince Liang Zhan, because of an accident 20 years ago, he left the palace for 20 years, and now the fourth prince Liang Zhan is designated as the heir to the throne, Qin this!" ”

As soon as Eunuch Kang's voice fell, everyone's faces showed a look of surprise, and Anwar, who was kneeling on the ground, never thought that he was actually the fourth prince, and he was stunned for a long time, and he reacted late to accept the order.

Bai Xianghua's heart trembled when he heard the three words of the trial court, and when Eunuch Kang finished reading the holy decree, he frowned tightly, and his heart was very tight, thinking that the emperor still couldn't promise himself not to let Anwar succeed to the throne after all, in fact, he had already thought that it would be the result now, but he had always wanted to change.

Liang Yuan raised his eyes in surprise, looked at Anwar, and said secretly in his heart: Anwar, he turned out to be my own brother Liang Zhan?

As soon as this holy decree was read out by Eunuch Kang, everyone couldn't hide the surprise on their faces, and they all turned their eyes to this unheard of "Fourth Prince Liang Zhan", and even exchanged heads and discussed it.

When he landed, Wang Xin raised his voice and said, "Kang Ruohai, is your holy decree true?" When the first emperor was still alive, he never mentioned that there was a prince in the people, why did the first emperor suddenly issue such a holy decree after his death? ”

Eunuch Kang said: "This is when the emperor was alive, the slave saw him write it down with his own eyes, if you don't believe it, you can come and see it with your own eyes." ”

Wang Xin was suspicious, so he walked over to take a closer look at the holy decree, his eyes widened for a moment, and he exclaimed: "The first emperor really passed the throne to Anwar, the president of the trial court, and Liang Zhan, the fourth prince. ”

As soon as Wang Xin's voice fell, An Linyuan, the lord of An Shangshu Mansion, said: "Anhua is indeed the fourth prince Liang Zhan, I took the prince of Liang Zhan to be raised in Anfu by the emperor's will, he is not surnamed An, but surnamed Liang, that is, the son of the first emperor." ”

Eunuch Kang handed the holy decree to Anwar, and suddenly, all the kneeling people said in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

North Vietnam, Royal Palace.

Gao Zhengce specially rewarded 30 jars of wine to Wan Qing, who was very happy and wanted to thank Gao Zhengce, but Gao Zhengce made a requestβ€”β€”β€” he could only drink it if he became a priest.

Wan Qing was displeased, and after accepting the thirty jars of wine, he secretly drank it alone in the room, wiping his mouth while drinking: "My Wan Qing has been too lucky in recent days, not only do I not have to work in this palace, but there are also people to serve, and if someone serves it, there is a reward, and the reward is just that, this prince also begs me to be a priest of North Vietnam." ”

The more Wan Qing thought about it, the happier she became, carefully recalling what Huo Yue had said to her, but she didn't come up with it after thinking about it for a long time, Wan Qing patted her head and said angrily: "You can't think of anything except worrying about food, clothing, drink, sleep, what's the use of this brain?" ”

This beat, but remembered that sentence, Wan Qing raised his head, held the wine jar in his right hand and poured wine into his mouth, wiped the corner of his mouth with his left hand after taking a sip, and said: "That is called a great calamity and immortality, and there will be blessings in the future." ”

"What kind of catastrophe will not die, there will be a blessing in the future?"

Wan Qing was taken aback, choked on the wine she had just poured into her mouth, coughed loudly, and said while coughing: "Huo Yue, why didn't you tell me when you came in?" ”

Huo Yue said: "Tell you before you come in, didn't you hide the wine you stole and drink?" And you just thought about things so much, I'm afraid that you don't know if I greeted you in advance. ”

Wan Qing put the wine jar in his arms and asked, "Which eye did you see me drinking?" ”

Huo Yue rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "I didn't see it, so what is it in your arms?" The king said that you could only drink this wine if you agreed to be a priest, and now you mean that you are willing to be it? ”

Wan Qing didn't respond, and after a moment of silence, she said, "Huo Yue, do you know where Qingqiu is?" ”

Huo Yue replied, "I've heard of Qingqiu. ”

Wan Qing's eyebrows bent, and he said, "Then tell me what kind of place it is?" Also, who is a half-fairy? ”

Huo Yue touched his chin and snatched the wine jar in Wan Qing's hand, Wan Qing was stunned, and hurriedly reached out to snatch it back, Huo Yue waved his hand and said, "If you snatch it back, I won't tell you." ”

When Wan Qing heard this, she smiled awkwardly and said, "The wine is for you, you say." ”

Huo Yue was not polite at all, and directly drank all the wine in the wine jar at once, and then said slowly: "I once heard that there is an empire in Qingqiu, there are many fox immortals in the empire, all of them have boundless mana, and there is an emperor in the Qingqiu Empire, who looks like a sinking fish and a goose, and a shy flower in the closed moon, and her cultivation is also extremely high. ”

Wan Qing raised her eyebrows, thought for a moment and asked, "What about the half-fairy?" Is the half-fairy powerful or the Qingqiu Emperor powerful? ”

Huo Yue tugged at the corners of his lips, shook his head and smiled: "Then you need to say?" Qingqiu Emperor Ji is an immortal with tens of thousands of years of cultivation, and that half-fairy is just a half-human and half-immortal who has only lived for a few hundred years, how can it be compared with an immortal with ten thousand years of cultivation. ”

Wan Qing pointed to her nose and said, "Look at me, do you look like a half-fairy?" ”

Huo Yue was speechless and didn't want to answer.

Wan Qing flattened her mouth and said, "If you don't answer, don't you mean that you don't look like you?" Gao Zhengce treated me as a half-fairy to let me be a priest, since I am not her, I don't want to be, why does he still let me be, isn't it difficult for a strong man? ”
