After February, it rained for several days.

Seeing that the day of the Lichu ceremony is approaching, it is still such a rainy weather, I am afraid that it will affect the Lichu ceremony.

Sheng Hong was a little annoyed in his heart, and muttered in front of Xie Mingxi: "The Ministry of Rites chose to come and go, but chose the day of February 26. If the rain doesn't stop, wouldn't it delay the ceremony of Arlo Lichu. ”

The crown prince's canonization ceremony will be carried out for a whole day. I want to enter the temple to worship the heavens and worship the ancestors. Such a happy event, on a rainy day, always makes people's hearts unhappy.

Xie Mingxi glanced at Sheng Hong with a smile: "If you are dissatisfied with the Ministry of Rites, just reprimand the Ministry of Rites in the court." What's the use of saying this in front of me! ”

Sheng Hong chuckled and took Xie Mingxi's hand: "To reprimand the Ministry of Rites is to break your face in public." Where am I willing to give! ”

Xie Mingxi smiled and took a bite at him, but did not withdraw his hand.

Arlo twitched the corners of her mouth and twisted her head to the side.

Gee! The old husband and wife are still numb!

In fact, there is no need for Sheng Hong to open his mouth, and everyone in the Ministry of Rites is worried. Xie Jun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was even more annoyed in his heart, and went to the Qin Tianjian angrily and scolded the official in the Qin Tianjian who was responsible for calculating the weather.

The two officials were also full of bad luck.

How can the weather be so accurate? There has never been anything wrong in the past, who would have thought that this time there would be a big mistake.

Could it be that those hidden rumors outside are true?

This is the Son of Heaven's insistence on setting up Princess Duanrou for the prince to anger God, so the heavens will rain again and again as a warning?

……

No matter how secret a rumor is, as soon as it spreads, it will no longer be a secret.

In the past few days, the ministers have to make a gesture with their eyebrows, and when they meet with a good personal friend, they have to mutter a few words in a low voice.

Where did this rumor come from?

I can't tell for a while. The rumors that have been passed on by word of mouth among officials are tacitly understood by everyone, and they are all aware of the stakes involved, and they have not been wantonly exaggerated and spread.

However, the emperor had many eyes and ears and was well-informed, and soon knew.

Sheng Hong's face was calm, and anger gathered in his eyes: "Father-in-law Wei, you go to check privately, who first spread this rumor?" Such a sinister villain with ill intentions, I will never spare it! ”

The Son of Heaven was really angry, and Gonggong Wei did not dare to slack off, and immediately took the order to retreat.

Xie Mingxi didn't have a smile on his face, and said coldly: "There is no wind and no waves." Among them, there must be someone who makes trouble. ”

Those who have the courage to make trouble at the juncture of the prince's canonization ceremony are by no means ordinary courtiers.

Sheng Hong snorted coldly, and a trace of awe-inspiring killing intent flashed in his eyes.

Ah Luo also frowned, and said in a low voice: "Father, mother, it is raining continuously, and it is indeed inconvenient to carry out the canonization ceremony. Otherwise, cancel the canonization ceremony and choose an auspicious day again! ”

"Never!"

Xie Mingxi opened his mouth without thinking: "If the canonization ceremony is canceled due to rumors, firstly, it will be unspoken, and secondly, the rumors will be confirmed. ”

Sheng Hong nodded slightly, and picked up the conversation in a deep voice: "That's right." The canonization ceremony must be held as scheduled. Not to mention rain, thunder and hail, but also sacrifice to the heavens and ancestors! ”

Arlo: "......"

All right!

Compared with her father and queen mother, her skin is still too thin and tender!

……

After Gonggong Wei received the holy message, he was silent. He only ordered someone to secretly find out where the rumors came from.

Father-in-law Wei has been on an errand for many years, shrewd and sophisticated, and in just two days, he found out the reason: "...... Emperor Qi, this rumor came from the palace of Wuling. ”

Sheng Hong raised his eyebrows and sneered.

A few years ago, Sheng Hong issued an order to level the domain, and several vassal kings were kept in the Zongren Mansion and suffered a lot, and they were only released from the Zongren Mansion two years ago and returned to the vassal king's mansion.

King Wuling is one of them.

Probably because he has been locked up for a long time, King Wuling is full of resentment, but he dares to be angry but does not dare to speak. also lost the qualifications to listen to the government of the previous dynasty, and shrank in the palace all day long.

This time, taking advantage of this opportunity, King Wuling deliberately chewed his tongue to make trouble. The rumors soon reached the ears of the hundred officials.

Sheng Hong coldly ordered: "King Xuanfenyang and King An enter the palace." ”

Duke Wei received the order, and in less than half an hour, the King of Fenyang County and King An hurriedly entered the Yiqing Palace. After a stick of incense, the two retreated with black faces.

"This King of Wuling, I don't want to live a good life, this time I will directly fulfill him!" The king of Fenyang County was very angry, and gritted his teeth and said angrily.

As the Zongzheng of the Zongren Mansion, it is not difficult for the King of Fenyang County to take action to rectify a vassal king who has lost power and angered the Son of Heaven!

A trace of coldness flashed in King An's eyes, and he reminded the King of Fenyang in a low voice: "This matter is not that simple. King Wuling has been out of power for a long time, and there is not much contact between him and civil officials on weekdays. What courage and ability did he have to do such a thing? ”

The King of Fenyang County furrowed his brows and looked at King An: "You mean, someone secretly instigated King Wuling?" ”

King An said in a low voice: "Yes or no, take King Wuling to the Zongren Mansion and ask carefully." ”

The Zongren Mansion and the Criminal Department are different. The Criminal Department detains prisoners and often interrogates them. The people imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion are all members of the clan and cannot be punished. To dispose of the princes, county kings, and vassal kings of the ranks, the Son of Heaven himself has to give an order.

However, as long as he entered the Zongren Mansion, there was always a way for King Wuling to open his mouth and confide the truth.

King An and King Fenyang glanced at each other, and each pulled out a sneer.

……

King Wuling is not a hard-headed person, after entering the Zongren Mansion, he was not allowed to eat, drink or sleep, and he couldn't hold it for only two days. opened his mouth to confess, saying that this matter was instigated by King Ning's son.

King An's heart sank, and he threatened with a gloomy face: "King Wuling, you have to think clearly." The crime of bullying the king is not a joke. If you dare to deliberately slander and climb and be found out, don't think about it. ”

The King of Fenyang County also frowned, and said angrily: "King Wuling, Hugh is talking nonsense. King Ning's marriage is approaching, and he has been busy with marriage matters recently, how can he have time to encourage you to spread such rumors? ”

"Moreover, the prince of King Ning is deeply immersed in the emperor's grace, and Princess Duanrou is like a brother and sister. On the same day, he also took the initiative to play and asked Princess Liduanrou to be the prince. How can you be resentful? ”

King Wuling, who was nearly sixty years old, was not tall and fat, and his body trembled slightly when he heard this. But he didn't change his words, and he insisted that he was instigated and instigated by the prince of King Ning.

The king of Fenyang County and the king of An had to go to the palace to resume their lives.

The Son of Heaven and Princess Duanrou are both in the Yiqing Palace, one is reading the folds, the other is carefully watching the folds, and the atmosphere is quiet, harmonious and beautiful.

Coincidentally, several sons of the world are also called to accompany them today. Sheng Ting, the son of King Ning, was also among them.

Sheng Hong put down the folds and opened his mouth to ask the king of Fenyang County: "What did the king of Wuling explain?" ”

Ah Luo put down the fold together and looked at the king of Fenyang steadily.

Several princes also looked at it together.

The king of Fenyang County settled his mind and reported in a deep voice: "King Wuling said that it was the prince of King Ning who instigated him to do it. ”

Everyone: "......"

Brother Ting: "......"
