Chapter 14: Murdered
"Where are the rats hiding their heads and showing their tails, and they will appear quickly."
The mellow and calm voice of the national teacher came, and Qin Jue was just about to jump down to say hello, when a "whirring" sound flew over through the air.
Gao Ren walked a few steps to the bottom of the tree, and saw a person falling from the tree with a bow.
The person is the third prince Qin Jue, and he bows against his forehead.
Gao Ren exclaimed: "The third prince. ”
Qin Jue took off the bow on his forehead and smiled at him: "National teacher, murder the future prince, you choose a way to die." ”
After saying that, he fell to the ground with a "bang".
When Qin Jue woke up, his head had already been bandaged, and he had never been afraid of Gao Ren, the national teacher who didn't give anyone face except for the emperor, stood by the bed and trembled to make amends to him.
"Third prince, the minister has no intention of hurting you. Recently, there are many peers who covet the minister's Tianbao Illustrated Book, and the minister has been on guard, and you suddenly make a noise, and the minister thinks it is those peers, so he kicks and bows over, and never has the heart to murder you. ”
Qin Jue ignored his nagging explanation over there, took a bronze mirror to his face left and right, and then asked Zhen Bufan: "Bufan, look at me if I was murdered and am I not as handsome as before?" ”
Zhen Bufan came over to look at his face and scratched his head: "It's not as handsome as before, but I think it's a matter of styling, if I change your look, you must be more handsome than before." ”
He took a clean gauze next to him and wrapped it around Qin Jue's head twice, then tied a big bow on the back of his head and clapped his hands.
"That's it. The three princes, please appreciate your prosperous face. ”
Qin Jue took the bronze mirror to look at himself, pulled the bow on his head, and smiled at himself in the mirror.
Zhen Bufan: "Does this look look much more handsome?" ”
"Yes, indeed."
After Qin Jue finished speaking, he smashed the bronze mirror over.
"Oops."
After talking for a long time, the three princes only cared about playing with their companions and ignored themselves, Gao Ren was worried, and said stubbornly: "The third prince, the minister really didn't hurt your heart, please forgive the minister a lot." ”
Qin Jue finally looked at him squarely, ripped off the bow on his head and played with it, leisurely.
"The days after three days are unlucky, it is not appropriate to canonize the crown prince, and the head of this prince is knocked by himself. If this prince becomes the crown prince in three days, the wound on his head will be evidence that you murdered this prince. ”
Gao Ren's expression changed, and he finally made a bitter face.
After struggling in his heart, he finally said, "When do the three princes think it will be auspicious to be canonized?" ”
Qin Jue suddenly smiled, pulled him to the chair next to the bed and sat down, looking negotiable: "Three years later." ”
Gao Ren almost didn't fall off his chair and shook his head again and again.
"I said that in three years, the emperor would immediately ask for the minister's head."
It's not that the father's anxious son can't do it, Qin Jue thought for a while: "Those two years? ”
Gao Ren still shook his head.
Finally, Qin Jue patted the bed: "Then a year and a half, no matter how little my head is, it will be the evidence that you murdered me." ”
Gao Ren only promised: "Try your best." ”
*
The emperor's Tianshun Palace is full of all kinds of antique jade calligraphy and paintings, he is directing the eunuchs to wipe them carefully, Qin Heng, Qin Yan, and Qin Jun are envious, and they ask the emperor for it.
Emperor: "Go, go, I usually reward you less?" ”
Qin Heng: "Father, you have a lot of rewards, but in the end, all your rewards have gone to Ah Jue." ”
Qin Yan Qin Jun: "That's it." ”
The father's usual reward is only rewarded to them, and Ah Jue, who has no share, takes it from them. But Ah Jue didn't get much better, because the antiques finally returned to his father.
Dare to love that they are just porters of antiques, and they don't deserve to own antiques.
Half of these antiques in front of them have spent the night in their palace.
"Father, father."
Hearing the shout, the four of them hurriedly looked at the door, and saw Qin Jue, who had a big head, running in sadly and pulling the emperor.
"Father, my son's retainer woke up from a nap and didn't see the road clearly, and his head was hit and blossomed."
The emperor immediately nervously pulled the gauze on his head to check the authenticity: "Why are you so careless?" How is the injury? ”
He had a bulge on his head, and there was blood, and he was really bruised.
The emperor was heartbroken for a while, and was about to comfort him, when he heard him say: "Father, three days before the canonization, the son of the minister kowtowed, is it an ominous omen, the son of the minister feels ......"
He was halfway through his speech when he found the room full of flash-eyed antiques, and he exclaimed, "Why are there so many treasures?" ”
The Emperor explained: "I know that you like these things, so I plan to send them to the East Palace on the day you canonize the crown prince. ”
Qin Jue's eyes suddenly shone like vast stars.
can have so many treasures, it doesn't hurt to be the prince for a few years first, and then find an opportunity to remove the prince's title later.
A smug smile hung on his face, fortunately he was one step ahead of Gao Ren, and everything was still in time.
"Your Majesty, something is wrong. The minister watched the stars at night last night, and suddenly found that the twenty-eight constellations were different, the two main stars of the fourth and fifth Nakshatras in the east were shining, and the stars of the Son of Heaven in the north were dim, which was probably a sign, and it was not appropriate to canonize the crown prince after three days. Acting on this date, there will be calamity in the country within three years. ”
Gao Renren arrived before he arrived, and when he walked in front of the emperor with a heavy face, he had already finished speaking.
In order to show seriousness, he didn't squint and only looked at the emperor, so he didn't see Qin Jue who was slapping at him.
"The minister not only watched the astrology, but also divined the hexagram, after three days, everything should not be done, if you force it, it may affect the fortune of the country."
Qin Jue called the sound of the national teacher, and when he saw him looking at him, he winked and frowned at him, and Gao Ren gave him a reassuring look.
Qin Jue: "....."
The emperor's face was solemn.
After pondering for a moment, he looked at Gao Ren with some complaints: "You also counted the day of June 18, and told me that this day is the right time, place and people, and you use this day to canonize the country's fortune for a long time, and you are now telling me that this day is unlucky?" ”
Gao Ren was stunned: "It was indeed like that before, but the astrological mutation, the minister can't control it." ”
The emperor snorted: "When will the crown prince be canonized?" ”
"...... next December"
Gao Ren found that the emperor's eyes looking at him could kill him halfway through his words, so he immediately changed his words: "December 20 next year can be used, but the second day of February next year is also auspicious, February 2, the dragon raised its head, and the minister suggested using the second day of February." ”
The emperor believed in such things as astrology very much, and also trusted Gao Ren very much, since he said that June 18 could not be used, then it could only be used on the second day of February next year. What's more, Qin Jue's kowtow three days before the canonization may really be a sign.
The antiques that were about to arrive in the room flew away in a blink of an eye, Qin Jue couldn't bear it and fainted, the emperor supported him and said, "Ah Jue don't be too sad, if you can't be the prince this year, let's do it again next year." ”
Qin Jue wanted to cry, was he sad because he couldn't be the prince this year? He was sad for the room full of antiques.
