Chapter 281: A word wakes up the dreamer
Jiang Xinyi was a little angry and wanted to go out, she really didn't expect this prince to be like this. Can such a person be in charge of the government? If he ascends the throne, can he cure Jiang Shiqian, the queen, and the second prince?
Alas, such an indecisive and courageless person, no wonder the emperor likes Prince Yu.
Jiang Xinyi was just about to step out of the door, when she vaguely saw a group of people walking towards this side, wasn't it the second prince Wen Jingxuan who was the leader? What to do? Ordinary palace maids and eunuchs don't know me like this, but they can't do it, and they must not be seen by them.
Jiang Xinyi hurriedly retreated into the hall, "What's wrong?" Wen Jingqian, who was pondering, looked up and saw Jiang Xinyi, who was going and returning, with a panicked face, and asked.
"Your second brother is here." Jiang Xinyi said.
Before Wen Jingqian could speak, Jiang Xinyi tilted her head, saw the table next to her, walked quickly, lifted the curtain and went in.
Wen Jingxuan and several ministers outside the door walked in, first lit incense and knelt down to worship the emperor, and then looked at the prince.
"Prince, please mourn, the country can't be without a king for a day, you are so sad, prince, it is not suitable to ascend the throne immediately, it is better to let the second prince deal with the government for a few days instead of you, and wait for Your Majesty to be buried, and then choose a day to ascend the throne." Jiang Shiqian said to Wen Jingqian.
"That's right, big brother, you have been taking care of your father when he is sick, and now you are staying up all night to keep vigil, how can your body bear it? The queen mother also means this, please rest assured, eldest brother, Jingxuan must take care of the government and politics in each class. Wen Jingxuan said respectfully to Wen Jingqian.
Several ministers behind them all stood silently.
Wen Jingqian didn't speak, and walked around the hall with his hands behind his back, when suddenly a lightning bolt outside, followed by a loud thunder, startled Wen Jingxuan, who was originally calm, and his eyes didn't even dare to look at the emperor's coffin.
Jiang Xinyi squatted under the offering table, secretly worried in her heart, really afraid that this prince would agree.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what do you see?" Jiang Shiqian asked a little anxiously.
"It's all Jing Qian's uselessness, he only cares about sadness, forgetting that he is the prince of his father's emperor. Since my father handed over this burden to me, how could Jing Qian bother the second brother. You should go and get ready immediately, Jing Qian is not so particular, and he will immediately ascend the throne to deal with the government affairs, so that he will not be ashamed of the people, and he will not be ashamed of his father's trust in me. Jing Qian will accompany his father for a while, and he will come immediately. Second brother, ministers, please first. Wen Jingqian said, making a gesture of invitation with his hand.
Wen Jingqian's words and the decisions he made were like another thunderbolt falling on Wen Jingxuan, and Jiang Shiqian was also stunned. Among those ministers, some nodded in agreement, and some were disappointed.
"Big brother, you?" Wen Jingxuan looked at his brother in front of him, as if he had just known him. How could it have changed? Isn't he just sad anymore?
Jiang Xinyi was under the table, she almost slapped her hands with joy, she was so handsome, such a person has the spirit of a man, and she can be the king of a country.
Wen Jingxuan and Jiang Shiqian didn't expect things to change like this at all, and their bowels were blue with regret. If he knew that the prince was like this, then there would not be those opponents among the ministers he brought.
Wen Jingxuan thought so, according to their analysis, the crown prince had no intention of ascending the throne at all now, so it was just the right opportunity to let those loyal ministers also be present. Let them see the prince's depressed appearance with their own eyes, and they will bet on their mouths.
Then, use this time to eradicate all the wings of Prince Yu, plus the + passion that he has won over The kings of several small countries, I am not afraid that this prince will not give up the position of prince.
However, he never expected that when he came to worship his father in the morning, the prince still had no spirit at all, but in such a morning, he changed? Wen Jingxuan really couldn't figure it out.
After Jiang Shiqian heard Wen Jingqian's words, he was stunned at first, and then hid the smile on his face. The risky move that the queen discussed with herself really made her not eat well and sleep well.
The crown prince was kind, and he couldn't get rid of Prince Yu at all if he relied on his words, so he decided to use the ambition of the second prince Wen Jingxuan to eradicate the wings of Prince Yu first, and then use his own strength to get rid of these two princes.
Now, although the prince's decision ruined the original plan, Jiang Shiqian confirmed that the prince had the courage.
So, he was still happy. In any case, as long as the crown prince decides to ascend the throne, the others can take their time. I have been an official in the court for many years, and I am not afraid of more stones on the road.
"Can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think so? That is really a blessing for the people of Dongliang Kingdom, and the emperor must be happy that he has a spirit in the sky. Let's go to the court and wait, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will ascend the throne. Jiang Shiqian said loudly. Ignoring Wen Jingxuan's resentful gaze.
After the group left, Jiang Xinyi crawled out from under the offering table, and when she saw the water stains she had left on the ground just now, she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Presumably, this Wen Jingxuan and they patronized the affairs of the government and government, and did not pay any attention to the water stains on the ground. Behind the crown prince were their own wet footprints.
The prince tidied up his clothes, solemnly knelt on the cushion on the ground, and kowtowed vigorously to the emperor's coffin; "Father, forgive the son's unfilial piety, and the son's minister will ascend the throne, for the sake of the dawn people, for the third brother who is fighting on the border. After the peace, the son will ask you again. β
After the prince said this, he stood up and turned back to Jiang Xinyi and said; "Thank you third brother for letting the eldest brother sober up, the eldest brother must be a good emperor like his father, if there is anything wrong, I hope the third brother will point it out."
"Well, this is like my eldest brother, you not only have to be a good emperor like your father, but you also have to do better than him, so that the people of Dongliang Country do not starve and are not bullied by other countries." Jiang Xinyi stepped forward excitedly and patted Wen Jingqian's shoulder to encourage him.
Oh, Wen Jingqian listened to Jiang Xinyi's sentence and made himself better than his father? Doesn't that mean that my father is not a really good emperor? He looked at the emperor's coffin a little embarrassed, and secretly begged his father not to blame this unobtrusive boy.
"Big brother, you have seen the situation just now, what to do, I am afraid that you have the bottom in your heart, it is inconvenient for me to stay in the palace anymore, I have to go out quickly and see Liu Jun. If there is anything you can't do yourself, you might as well tell me, if you can help, my little brother will definitely not refuse. Jiang Xinyi said to Wen Jingqian very righteously.
"The eldest brother understands that the first thing to do when he ascends the throne is the food and grass problem ahead, and then the matter of the seventh brother will be solved, you tell Liu Jun, take a break, and be ready to go at any time." Wen Jingqian said to Jiang Xinyi with confidence.
"Okay, big brother, you go and get busy, congratulations, and my second brother and I will tell you again in the future. It's just that you have to be careful with your safety, remember, the closest person may be the most dangerous, who made you the emperor's prince? You've figured it out, but you've disrupted some people's plans and ruined other people's big things, do you understand? Jiang Xinyi told uneasily.
"Big brother understands, if you are not afraid, just wait here first, and I will ask someone to send you out of the palace." Wen Jingqian said to Jiang Xinyi.
"Well, I'm not afraid, big brother go get busy, I'll wait here." Jiang Xinyi patted her chest and said.
The prince left with his head held high, and Jiang Xinyi got under the offering table again in order to be safe.
Unafraid? I'm dripping mother, alas, how can I not be afraid? And the emperor lying in the coffin is still an unknown death. Your Majesty, what do you say, I'm also for your son's good, don't blame me. When the eldest brother of the crown prince ascends the throne and settles down the affairs inside and outside the palace, I will tell him that I will find a way to find out the cause of your death, and I will give you justice, Jiang Xinyi muttered to the coffin with her palms together.
The more I thought about it, the more scared I became, the colder I became, and I was drenched in the rain, and then I shivered.
Third prince, Wen Yuxin, you must hold on, everything will be fine, Jiang Xinyi began to worry again.
"Gongzi Jiang, Gongzi Jiang?" A voice whispered.
"I'm here." Jiang Xinyi opened the curtain and saw that the person who called her was Mi Gonggong next to the prince, Jiang Xinyi had seen it several times. It seemed that the prince trusted him, and she stuck out her head in response.
"Hurry up and change into this clothes, and the slave will send you out of the palace." Nami's father-in-law said to Jiang Xinyi.
Jiang Xinyi climbed out and took the package in his hand to see that it was still the eunuch's clothes.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, Childe, you will not arouse suspicion if you wear this." Mi Gonggong hurriedly explained.
"Okay, Jiang Xinyi responded, but she didn't know where to change her burden. You can hide people under the offering table, but you can't change your clothes.
"Childe, you go there and change it, the slave waits outside the door, don't worry, the Taoist priest has calculated, the time of the emperor's immortal death is not right, so ordinary people in the palace can't come here." Mi Gonggong saw what Jiang Xinyi meant, and hurriedly explained.
"Oh, I'll go there and change it in the back." Jiang Xinyi pointed to the white curtain next to the coffin and said.
"Ugh." Mi Gonggong shook his head helplessly and went out, and the old tears couldn't stop flowing.
A generation of kings who have worked hard for Dongliang for most of their lives will end up like this, lying alone in the coffin, and there is not even a single person in the mourning hall who recites the scriptures.
Jiang Xinyi quickly changed into dry clothes, changed into a dry hat, and stuffed the changed clothes under the offering table, and Mi Gonggong said that he would deal with it later.
The wind outside was much lighter, and the rain stopped. Jiang Xinyi and Mi Gonggong held an oil umbrella and walked out, because Mi Gonggong was an old man in the palace, and no one suspected the little eunuch beside him.
"The slave is a thank you son for the emperor who passed away." Father-in-law Mi, who sent Jiang Xinyi out of the palace, said this thoughtlessly.
Jiang Xinyi guessed that this Mi Gonggong must have been worried when he saw the prince so depressed, and when he came, he woke up the prince, so this Mi Gonggong would say this!
In fact, the fathers-in-law and palace maids in this palace have the brightest eyes and see right and wrong the most clearly. It's just that none of this is something they can control.
Accustomed to intrigues, these people are numb. If you are not numb, you hope that someone can change, and Jiang Xinyi has such an ability.
Gonggong Mi was relieved when he thought of the prince's demeanor when he spoke to him just now, as if he saw the emperor's young appearance, fearless.
As soon as Jiang Xinyi left the palace gate, she saw An Pengfei on horseback, and his face was serious and anxious.
Jiang Xinyi was afraid that someone would be staring, so she pretended not to know An Pengfei and walked over. But before she could walk a few steps past the horse, she was carried on horseback.
Needless to say, it's Brother An, Jiang Xinyi's back stuck to that chest, and she immediately felt warm, An Peng galloped on his horse, bypassed a street, and as soon as he blew the whistle, a few horses rushed out of the alley.
The people on horseback, Jiang Xinyi knew them, it was Shangguan Hong and them, and there were wild cats who had just arrived. Everyone had weapons on them.
"Second brother?" Jiang Xinyi turned around and asked.
"If we don't see you come out for another hour, we'll go in and find someone." An Pengfei said with a smile.
"Second brother." Jiang Xinyi's strength disappeared suddenly, her eyes were hot, and she whimpered sideways and leaned sideways in An Pengfei's arms.
"Hehe, we are not afraid of Xiao Jiang, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, will cry? Really like a female doll. Shangguan Hong laughed and teased Jiang Xinyi.
"Still laughing? Is your beard too long? Jiang Xinyi asked annoyedly.
Beard? Shangguan Hong was so frightened that he hurriedly "touched" and "touched" with his hands to grow his beard as it was. Quickly shut up, last time it was because of a joke that Jiang Xinyi was like a female doll, but after being drunk by Jiang Xinyi, she cut off her beard, and then laughed at him as a eunuch.
During those days, Shangguan Hong had no choice, so he asked An Pengfei to make a fake beard with his hair and stick it to his chin. He knew that this bastard did what he said, and he didn't want to take another risk.
An Pengfei rode back to the house with a smile, Shangguan and they all followed closely, Wei Yi stayed at the back, and made sure that there was no stalking, so he rushed up.
"You go take a shower first, change your clothes, and we'll wait for you in the study." An Pengfei said.
"What about Liu Jun? Have you eaten? Jiang Xinyi asked uneasily.
"Alas, that guy, when he was full, he was going to the palace, poured a bowl of soothing soup, and then stopped sleeping." Luo Ke said.
"It seems that the border is fighting quite fiercely, and the blood on Liu Jun's armor is proof of this. The time for that blood is different, not even the time to clean the armor! Wei Yi said.
The prince said, the day after they set off, the capital prepared grain and grass and escorted them. But Liu Jun said that he didn't see anyone, which means that someone had planned it and robbed the grain and grass halfway. Jiang Xinyi didn't care about taking a bath, sat down and said to everyone.
She didn't want to hide it from these people, they almost broke into the palace for themselves, so what was the need to hide it from them?
Jiang Xinyi told everything she heard in the palace about the abnormal death of the emperor, and she wanted everyone to understand what kind of things the country is facing now.
As she spoke, Jiang Xinyi took off her shoes with her feet, and then took off her socks as well. Look at the white feet again, they have been soaked and wrinkled by wet shoes and wet socks.
An Pengfei wanted to stop it, but he didn't know what to say, seeing several big men staring at Jiang Xinyi's feet, he felt very uncomfortable, but he couldn't help it.
"Hehe, Xiao Jiang's feet also look like a female doll." The wild cat blurted out, and then reacted, and quickly covered half of his face with his hand, amusing everyone.
At this time, Jiang Xinyi didn't bother with him, and laughed along.
"Yi Xin, now like this, what should we do?" Shangguan Hong stopped laughing and asked.
"That's right, Xiao Jiang, tell me, what are we doing?" Wei Yi asked anxiously.
"Let's γγγ" Jiang Xinyi tapped her fingers on the coffee table next to her and said half a sentenceγγγ
