Emperor Xianqing has been sick in bed since King Wu's rebellion, and almost all the things in the court are discussed by several elders and important ministers, and only when he can't make up his mind, he will come to report to Emperor Xianqing. And what has troubled them recently is the matter of Lichu.

The crown prince, the second prince, father and son died tragically, and Emperor Xianqing was ill again, if it wasn't urgent at this juncture, who would want to mention it? But the country can't be without a king for a day, Emperor Xianqing is already at the end of the crossbow, and the new prince has not yet been decided, if anything happens to him, the situation of the feast will definitely be chaotic.

There are quite a lot of people in the Great Banquet Clan, but none of them are available, and they have never been reused by Emperor Xianqing. Wei Tong and Wei Shan, the two ancestors and fathers, are closer to Emperor Xianqing, and if they are inherited, they are the most suitable.

But fate is too tricky, Wei Zhi is knowledgeable, capable and means, but he is not good at acting. Wei Shan has a strong physique, but he can only surpass Wei Zhi in force.

All the ministers felt sorry for Wei Zong, and in their hearts they had already determined that Wei Shan was the best choice for the prince.

So several old ministers led by Du Ge Lao entered the palace and proposed this matter to Emperor Xianqing, and Emperor Xianqing was silent after hearing it, and said after a long time: "I know that you Aiqing is also thinking about the great banquet, and I will definitely give you an answer in three days after thinking about this matter." ”

Emperor Xianqing said so, and Du Ge and his party couldn't force him to agree on the spot, so they went back and waited for the result.

As soon as they left, Emperor Xianqing couldn't help but be furious, "These are my good courtiers, the prince's bones are not cold, they are in a hurry to find someone to replace my son's place, is it really that I can't live long?" ”

Liang Bingfang hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "Your Majesty, the imperial doctor has instructed you to restrain your anger, otherwise it will not be good for your body." ”

Liang Bingfang was the person who followed Emperor Xianqing when he was the prince, and Emperor Xianqing would still listen to his words, he tried to calm down, and said: "I feel very cold, my son and grandson have been killed by the traitor, why can't they give me some time, and have to rush to mention the matter of succession when I am the saddest." ”

"Your Majesty, the courtiers are also afraid of the unstable situation, their starting point is good, but they don't take into account your mood in the emperor."

"I understand the truth, but I don't want to be forced to make a decision." He looked at Liang Bingfang, "Do you think Wei Shan can really take on the responsibility of the prince of a country?" ”

Liang Bingfang might as well show that Emperor Qing would ask herself, and after hesitating for a while, she replied: "Whether it is suitable or not should be decided by the emperor, and the slaves and maids dare not discuss this matter." ”

Emperor Xianqing was a little displeased, he knew that Liang Bingfang did not tell the truth, "You have been with me for more than 30 years, don't you know my temperament, you can say whatever you think in your heart, if you don't answer honestly, you will be punished as a deception." ”

Hearing this, Liang Bingfang hurriedly knelt down, "The slave doesn't dare to deceive the emperor, Commander Wei is capable of literature and martial arts, and he is indeed a rare talent, but it is still too far from the king of Boling County." ”

"But the legs of the orange are ......" Emperor Xianqing thought of this, and couldn't help sighing: "Who would have thought of today? ”

Emperor Xianqing fell into deep thought, Liang Bingfang didn't dare to disturb him, and only knelt quietly in front of the dragon bed.

I don't know how long it took, but he suddenly heard Emperor Xianqing's voice sound: "Liang Bingfang, what do you say about the eldest son of Jiji'er?" ”

This sentence was like a thunderclap, and Liang Bingfang was stunned. Under this controversy, no one ignored the child who was less than two years old.

"Your Majesty, it's good that you decide, and the slaves and maids support the emperor's decision."

Emperor Xianqing waved his hand, "You go down, I'm tired." ”

Liang Bingfang retreated according to her words, and her heart couldn't be calm for a long time. After returning to his residence, he thought about it again and again, but he still couldn't guess the truth of Emperor Qing's words.

After a while, just when his spirit was about to be confused, he suddenly remembered the situation about the night before Wei Zhi fell and injured himself.

He still remembered that he was on duty at that time, and the twenty-ninth interpreter of Tianji Palace came to the palace to see Emperor Xianqing in a hurry, and he stayed in the inner hall with Emperor Xianqing for an hour, and secretly left the palace after an hour.

In this matter, except for Emperor Xianqing and him, no one knew that someone from Tianji Palace had been here. Because there are rules in the Tianji Palace, no one in the palace, including the deducer, is allowed to go out easily unless the troubled times are coming.

And there is only one exception in the entire Tianji Palace, that is, the successive national teachers, and only the national teachers have the right to leave the palace and meet the emperor.

At that time, the national teacher was not in the capital, and the twenty-ninth interpreter of Tianji Palace could easily leave the palace.

That is, after meeting this deducer, Wei Tong, who was still the grandson of King Gong at the time, broke his legs on the second day, and when King Gong came to appeal, he seemed to see the pride hidden under Emperor Xianqing's sad expression.

At that time, he had a bold guess that Wei Zhi's leg might be very related to Emperor Qing.

Thinking of the secret meeting between the deducer and Emperor Xianqing, Liang Bingfang felt that Wei Tong must have affected something, otherwise Emperor Xianqing would not have broken his legs.

Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still, so he disguised himself and went to the National Teacher's Mansion.

The national teacher was playing chess with Jiang Zhao, he looked at the sky, and suddenly said: "Let's stop here today, the old man will have guests to entertain later." ”

Jiang Zhao was very displeased when he heard this, "It's like this every time, obviously I will win after a few more steps." ”

The national teacher looked at him with a smile, Jiang Zhao nodded carelessly, "Okay, okay, for your sake of saving me this time, I won't worry about you." ”

After saying that, pack up your things and leave.

Less than a quarter of an hour after Jiang Zhao left, Liang Bingfang came to the National Teacher's Mansion.

After meeting the national teacher, he asked straight to the point about the national teacher's opinion on Li Chu.

The national teacher looked at him with a smile, "Does Chief Liang want to know or ask for the emperor?" ”

Liang Bingfang said: "The national teacher already has a number in his heart, isn't he? I am here today to ask the national teacher to give us a word of approval, so that we rootless duckweed can prepare as soon as possible. ”

Hearing him say this, the national teacher said: "Manager Liang, the old man can only warn you one thing: everything is possible." ”

Liang Bingfang was shocked, "You mean, the king of Boling County..."

Before he finished speaking, he was sharply interrupted by the national teacher: "Manager Liang, the secret of heaven must not be revealed, the old man has said all this, I hope you don't want to study it in detail." ”

Liang Bingfang was stunned for a moment, and before he came back to his senses, he heard him say again: "The old man has done his best to make up for the fork in Tianji Palace, and I hope that this time I will not repeat the mistakes of the past." ”

If Liang Bingfang didn't know anything before, after hearing this, he completely understood.

"Thank you to the national teacher for clarifying your doubts and taking your leave." He bowed his hand towards the National Teacher, and then left the National Teacher's Mansion.

On the second day, Emperor Xianqing suddenly summoned Ling Jiming, the imperial historian of Lingtai.

Ling Jiming looked much older than before, when King Wu rebelled, the Ling family was the first to be controlled by the rebels because they were the grandson of the second emperor. In the chaos, Father Ling and the Wen family were so frightened that they had a stroke, Ling Yuanniang died tragically under the sword of the rebels, and in the entire Ling family, except for the subordinates, only he and Fan Jin were safe and sound.

At that time, he was extremely glad that the academy where his son went to school was far away from the capital, and the rebels would not be able to take care of it for a while.

After the rebels were executed, the Ling family was also rescued, but they were killed and wounded, and a family was almost scattered. Especially after hearing that Ling Junjun and the second emperor grandson in the palace had died unexpectedly, he knew that the Ling family was gone.

He never expected that Emperor Xianqing would summon him at this time.

Seeing Ling Jiming, whose sideburns had silver threads, Emperor Xianqing regarded him as a kind of person, and they were all poor people who lost their loved ones in this rebellion.

He talked to him for a while, and the topic suddenly shifted to the matter of Lichu.
