Volume 63 Qi Palace
"His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince!" In the east palace of Southern Qi, there was a panicked report from the slave maid.
Chen Lingqu let go of the scroll in his hand, raised his head to look at it, and wondered, "Why are you so flustered?" ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince, General Tong Yu was injured by the Lord of the Phoenix Feather Pavilion in Huangyu Mountain, and the injuries are so serious that I am afraid that my life may be threatened!" The subordinate's tone was hurried, but the point was not left word-for-word.
"His Royal Highness the Prince." The horse washing on the side of Prince Lingqu was a little uncontrollable.
Prince Lingqu raised his hand and motioned for his subordinates to retreat, and only then did the man beside the prince open his mouth and say, "Do you want to arrange someone to pick up General Tong?" ”
"No need, General Tong told me before leaving, this is his private matter, let him know for himself." The prince sighed lightly.
Prince Lingqu straightened the scroll on the table, got up and undressed his clothes, and ordered someone to dress him.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, today is the day of the emperor's spirit hunting, and you need to go with you at noon." The old washing horse on the side reminded.
"Good...... Wait until I'm ready. Prince Lingqu tied up his hair crown, took the sword in his hand and said.
Qi Palace has been established for more than three generations, since the beginning of the Southern Qi Emperor, it has existed here, Qi Palace is located next to the sea area of the West of Southern Qi, looking around the mountains on three sides, there are thousands of domesticated spirit beasts guarding the four realms, which can be described as a natural dangerous place.
However, although outsiders can't easily break through this place, once there is civil strife here, everything will collapse, so Anqi Palace must first be safe.
The Prince of Lingqu walked briskly on the corridor, and the old horse followed closely.
Prince Lingqu suddenly paused, it turned out to be the second prince who was walking towards him.
Lao Xima looked up, and the second prince walked past Prince Lingqu with a wicked smile on his face, and did not forget to turn around and say, "Big brother, today's red robe is really noble!" ”
"Haha!" Then he laughed insolently and walked on his back.
"His Royal Highness the Prince......" the old man asked, for fear that he would be resentful in his heart.
"It's okay...... It seems that we should be prepared for today's trip......" Prince Lingqu glanced at him, and estimated that the second prince had already gone away before speaking.
"The old minister has been arranged, and the people around the emperor have been cleared." The old horse lock eyebrows whispered.
Prince Lingqu nodded secretly with satisfaction, after all, he had been preparing for this game for too long.
"Fortunately, Tuo'er has married Huang Yu, otherwise everything here would be too cruel for her." Prince Lingqu closed his eyes and recalled Princess Lingtuo's smile.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the Emperor has invited you to meet you." A small eunuch spoke at the end of the corridor.
Lao Xima nodded at the father-in-law, handed over the scroll in his hand to Prince Lingqu, and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, this matter must be transferred to the emperor, otherwise the Southern Qi country will be in danger......"
Prince Lingqu clutched the scroll in his hand tightly and nodded as if he had taken off his head, with an unfaceable bleakness in his eyes.
Prince Lingqu finally took a step and followed the father-in-law towards the emperor's bedroom.
Prince Lingqu walked outside the door, and his father-in-law reported outside, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived at ......"
"Let him in......," a dying voice came from inside the room.
Prince Lingqu's eyebrows were raised by this vicissitudes of life, and he expected that his father's body was getting weaker and weaker today.
Prince Lingqu put aside his front placket and climbed the stairs to his father's bedroom.
"Qu'er, come and help your father take a look at this spirit seed......" As soon as he entered the house, his father beckoned Prince Lingqu to take a look at the object in his hand.
Prince Lingqu nodded, and when he came to his father's table, he saw that the red camphor wooden box contained a spirit seed glowing with emerald green light.
"Father, this is ......" Prince Lingqu couldn't recognize this spirit seed for a while, after all, there are thousands of spirit seeds in the world, and it is difficult for him to know something.
"This is a planting spirit that Lord Qin Guan found for me a few days ago, and I heard that it has the effect of restoring the body's blood and blood muscles." The emperor stroked his beard and laughed.
Prince Lingqu didn't have the heart to look at this thing, he looked at his father's face with concentration, but today is different, his father's face is ruddy, and his complexion is also very good, but there is always something that Prince Lingqu can't put his mind at ease, after all, his father's state today is too weird.
"Father Emperor just said, this is what Lord Qin Guan dedicated to you?" Prince Lingqu asked.
"yes...... Qin Xiang deliberately went west to leave the ancient forest to hunt and kill the spirit seeds I had taken. The emperor said with a pleasant face.
Prince Lingqu's knowledge can be regarded as a top star in Southern Qi, and there are really few things in this world that he has not dabbled in, but there are thousands of spirit seeds in the world, but he has never seen this spirit seed in "The Theory of Desolate Spirits".
Prince Lingqu looked at the gloomy green spirit seed with gloomy eyes, not knowing whether it was joy or sorrow.
"I have improved my body today thanks to this spiritual plant, and Qu'er helped my father bring the brocade fur." The old emperor commanded.
Prince Lingqu took the robe on the side and put it on for his father, and the moment he walked behind his father, Prince Lingqu's heart trembled without cold, his father's mourning hall was located behind his neck, but now looking at it, the spiritual power vibration of this mourning hall is even weaker, and it seems that there is only one breath left, which is inconsistent with the spirit of his father's face now!
"Father......" Prince Lingqu was about to put on a brocade coat, and he stood still for a while, not knowing what to say.
"What's the matter...... the old emperor asked with interest in writing with the brush in his hand.
"Oh! Erchen has a volume of Han Xima's initiation document, please be sure to read it to your father. Prince Lingqu respectfully presented the scroll in his hand and said.
The old emperor pushed open the scroll, and there were three eye-catching big characters on it - three books.
"The old minister Han Yan is dying in his old age, fortunately the emperor was blessed to give the prince to wash the horse, and now the old minister looks at the counties of the Southern Qi world, and has to offer three admonitions here, hoping that Your Majesty will think deeply."
First, the Southern Qi Jianbang has more than three generations, the territory is huge, the cities and counties are numerous, the world is mixed, but it is not unified, the military division of the counties is becoming more and more powerful, the division is self-reliant, and the wall is governed within the domain, I hope that Your Majesty will sweep away the private power, collect the power of the cities and counties in various places, and unify it by the central government, otherwise where there is a dispute, the forces around the country are like a sand table, scattered and out of control! This is the first admonition.
Second, the territory of the Southern Qi Dynasty is vast, and the talents are huge, and they are all the leaders of governing the country and the state within the four realms. However, in recent years, the private school of Nanqi, the concept of learning collapsed, and the academic collection was all in the children of the rich king, and there were many poor families, and there was no shortage of talents that were rare in a hundred generations, but because of their identity, there was no way to study. The minister knows that His Majesty is sage, if the Southern Qi Dynasty wants to last for a long time, it is indispensable to determine the country's talents, and I hope that His Majesty will dominate the world and learn the world, and the people of the world will learn the Tao by legislating to protect the cold door. This is the second admonition of the minister.
Third, the Qi palace is a powerful faction, and the Qin family has been favored since the first emperor, and it has been hereditary to this day. However, the first emperor collapsed for many years, and the government was dominated by the Qin family, exercising power alone, and the Qi Palace was not in chaos. If the prime minister is dominated by the king, the dynasty is chaotic, the monarch and the ministers are disorderly, and there will be great trouble in the long run! I hope that the emperor will think twice, and it is appropriate to give the Qin family a letter, otherwise, it will be reversed in the future! This is the third admonition of the minister.
Qi Jun sighed loudly, but unexpectedly, these three words told the sick state of Nanqi. Or moved by these three words, Qi Junwu sensed the seriousness.
"Qu'er, what this admonition says is very true, I have passed on the third generation of Qi, Han Xima is aware of the subtleties, and I am fortunate to have this loyal minister." The old emperor patted the book in his hand, and the dragon face was happy.
"Then, my father is a favor?" Prince Lingqu asked with a look thrown away.
The emperor shook his head, put the book on the table, and sighed, "The first two admonitions, I can allow, only this last admonition, I can't do anything, I notice it at this time, it's too late......"
"Father!" Prince Lingqu still insists on letting go, this is related to the national fortune of Southern Qi, how can it be child's play?
"What provoked the prince so moving, even the emperor was alarmed?" A man's voice came from outside the hall.
Prince Lingqu swept his gaze along the voice, the person array was huge, and the gentleman's palace was not outside, and the entourage around him was even more tightly protected.
"It's Prime Minister Qin!" Qi Jun's face suddenly became pleasant, and he got up to greet him.
Prince Lingqu restrained Fang Cai's color and stood aside silently.
Qin Guan, the son of the Qin family, after the head of the Qin family abdicated the phase, he passed the throne to his eldest son.
"What's the matter with Prime Minister Qin? Visiting my dormitory? Qi Jun asked with a warm face.
Qin Guan wore a heavy ink robe, his crown and jade pendants were all gold and jade gifts, his appearance was thick eyebrows and starry eyes, and the corners of his mouth seemed to always hold a smile, full of pride.
"It's okay, my father came to visit the emperor, the emperor's dragon body is healthy recently?" Qin Guanchen's salute was extremely thoughtful at this moment.
Qi Jun turned around and brought the box of planted spirits on the table, and said, "Thanks to Elder Qin, my health has improved after absorbing this spirit, and I can stay for activities today." ”
This sentence suddenly alarmed the Prince of Lingqu on the side, when did the father hide the spirit seed he absorbed, the origin of this spirit seed is unknown, why did the father easily absorb him. After several twists and turns in his heart, Prince Lingqu still swallowed that worry.
Qin Guan swept his eyes away for a moment, and said in a provocative tone, "Isn't this His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" What's going on here? ”
"It's just a matter of asking for the godfather's way of governing the country." Prince Lingqu didn't say much, the less he could say in front of Qin Guan, the better.
"Oh?" Qin Guan's tone seemed suspicious.
Qin Guan looked at the scrolls spread out on Qi Jun's table, as if he wanted to step forward to confirm it in person, and seeing that Han Xima's edict was about to be exposed, Prince Lingqu stepped forward to put away the scrolls. clasped his hands and said, "It's just a childish way, don't work for Qin Xiang to point out." ”
"Hahaha, the prince is humble......" Lord Qin Guan sneered, which made people feel creepy.
"Hum~" An invisible spiritual power fluctuation echoed in the hall, and Prince Lingqu stabilized his spiritual hall to take over the pressure. This can be regarded as Qin Guan's warning to Prince Lingqu.
"Prince Lingqu, my father asked me to say hello for you, he said that in the past few days, you have imprisoned Sect Master Qiao in the Emperor Heaven Prison, and I want to ask you for an explanation!" Qin Guan finally revealed his purpose.
"Sect Master Qiao was born as the sect master of the Southern Qi Sect, led his disciples to make trouble in Huangyu, destroyed the covenant between the two domains, and the prince personally captured him back to Southern Qi, could it be that Qin Xiang wanted to exonerate him?" Prince Lingqu's cold eyes poked in front of Qin Guan, and he didn't seem to back down at all in this move.
"Oh? I also heard that the prince went to the Phoenix Feather Main Pavilion on this trip, didn't he see something? Qin Guan's cold face pressed against the bridge of Prince Lingqu's nose.
"What does Lord Qin want to see?" The prince of Lingqu is anti-guest-oriented, and he is broken.
Qin Guan hooked the corners of his mouth, smiled disdainfully, and threw off his sleeves.
"Your Highness, the noon spirit hunt is about to begin, please move your majesty, it's time for us to go." Qin Guan said faintly, he half-bowed his body to invite Qi Jun out of the hall.
Prince Lingqu pressed Qin Guan's wrist, and said with a spiritual fire in his eyes, "Qin Xiang...... Let's go first, I'll come with my father later......"
Qin Guan viciously slashed his eye knife, shook off his arm, and walked out of the hall with his hands in his hands, shouting, "I'm waiting for you!" ”
