"You can't help but go to such a big event as worshipping your ancestors, yesterday His Royal Highness the Sixth also handed the emperor a fold, saying that he was infected with a serious disease and wanted to recuperate in Beijing, guess what? The emperor insisted on sending the imperial doctors in the entire palace to the palace of the six highnesses, and ordered them to cure the evil diseases of the six highnesses within three days. It's funny to think about his face. Lan Yao leaned forward and leaned back with laughter, almost bursting into tears.

Jing Ning also found it interesting to hear, but it was more about Song Yuan's worries. It seems that Zhao Duo has already moved his bad thoughts, if he doesn't go to worship his ancestors, I'm afraid that after Song Yuan returns, Zhao Duo will already establish himself as the emperor.

"Look at what you said, I will naturally go, but I am not sensitive to the temple fair." Jing Ning chuckled, and a little thought flashed in his eyes.

It would be good if Xiao Rin was here at this time, with him by Song Yuan's side, thinking that Zhao Duo would not get any bargain, Jing Ning sighed slightly, and now he can only rely on himself for these things.

Lan Yao saw that Jing Ning's mind was not on this, so he didn't say more, but just told Jing Ning to pack his bags as soon as possible, and he was going to worship his ancestors in five days. Because Lishan is on the outskirts of Beijing, very close to the capital, everyone will stay on the mountain for one night and return to Beijing after all the ceremonies are completed on the second day. That saves you the hassle of having to come back again.

Five days later, Jing Ning sat in the carriage, and Lan Yao and Qing Ting chatted eagerly in her ear. The two of them chattered non-stop like sparrows, and Jing Ning regretted that he had shared a carriage with Lan Yao.

For the safety of Qing Ting, Jing Ning took her with her so that she could take care of her at any time, Lan Yao thought she was bored by herself, and took the initiative to come to Jing Ning's carriage, she wanted to talk some nonsense with Jing Ning to pass the time, but she didn't expect to chat with Qing Ting warmly.

"May I interject, are you thirsty?" Jing Ning opened his eyes helplessly and looked at the two.

Lan Yao and Qing Ting looked at each other and shook their heads, and then continued to chat enthusiastically, completely ignoring Jing Ning with a complicated face on the side.

At this moment, the carriage shook violently, and there were bursts of exclamations outside. After stabilizing his figure, Jing Ning lifted the curtain and looked out, only to see that the carriage in front of him was stagnant, as if it was blocked by something.

"What's going on?" Jing Ning stopped a little eunuch who ran from the front and asked.

"Somehow, a big stone suddenly rolled down on the mountain road, and almost hit His Majesty's Luanjia, fortunately, the royal horse avoided it spiritually, the young lady is not in a hurry, now His Royal Highness is already waiting for someone to go up the mountain to investigate the situation, and when the situation is clear, he can continue to hurry." After the little eunuch finished speaking, he ran to the frame behind him and spoke one by one.

Jing Ning's eyes flashed a little uneasy, her intuition told her that this matter must have nothing to do with Zhao Duo, and now Zhao Duo led people to investigate the situation, Jing Ning suspected that he wanted to do some unseemly things behind everyone's back.

"Sudden Fall Boulder? That's not a good sign. Lan Yao rubbed his chin and sighed, a little unclear emotion flashed in his eyes.

Jing Ning and her glanced at each other, and they both saw the complicated emotions in each other's eyes.

Generally speaking, there are no accidents on the way to such a major event as ancestor worship, because the super poor pool will be taken by people with a heart to spread rumors, and if it is serious, it will shake the people's hearts and threaten the emperor's authority, so before the emperor travels, the surrounding roads will be strictly inspected, and such a thing will never happen.

In this way, this sudden boulder can only be man-made.

Jing Ning's heart became more and more uneasy, she faintly felt that some danger was approaching, but she couldn't sort out her thoughts. After about half a cup of tea, Zhao took it back, and carried a white snake with the thickness of a bowl in his hand, and the white snake's abdomen was cut open by Zhao Duo, and the blood dripped all the way, which was terrifying.

At this time, everyone got out of the carriage one after another, trying to find out what was going on, only to see Zhao Duo raise the white snake with his left hand and pinch a piece of cloth stained with blood in his right hand.

"This time I led people to find out why the big stone suddenly fell, and I saw this snake entrenched there, and after I cut the snake, I found this cloth." Zhao Duo threw the snake corpse to his feet as he spoke, and raised the cloth with both hands.

Although the cloth is stained with blood, the handwriting on it is vaguely legible, which is the eight characters of "the monarch has no virtue, and the heavens give the boulder".

For a while, everyone fell into a strange silence, Jing Ning bit his lip, and finally understood what Zhao Duo was going to do, he was trying to force Song Yuan to abdicate.

On the way to worship the ancestors, a big stone fell from the sky, and the white snake hid books in its belly, so that such an unlucky thing happened at the same time, and it was no longer a matter that could be solved by a sinful edict. Zhao Duo deliberately showed the cloth in front of everyone, just to cast a shadow on everyone's heart, even if Song Yuan did not abdicate today, as long as he made a small mistake in the future, Zhao Duo would have a reasonable and reasonable self-reliance from the head of the emperor.

Because this is the will of God, God has said that the king is not virtuous, so he gave a boulder to punish him, but he was avoided, so I will do it. This is Zhao Yu's purpose.

Jing Ning was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat, and solemnly knew that all this was arranged by Zhao Duo, but she couldn't question it, because in the eyes of others, Zhao Duo at this time was like a god, it was he who killed the white snake and found the cloth in the snake's belly.

"Since His Majesty's accession to the throne, he has been lightly given and recuperated, and the twenty-three years of banditry in Ji and Ning Prefectures have been quelled, and the squire bullies that have always existed in Qingshui and Mohe counties have been significantly reduced, and the treasury is not only not empty, but also slightly rich.

At this moment, Prime Minister Zheng stood up with a serious face, his eyes were firm, his tone was calm, and the arrogance and integrity of Wenchen were revealed in him.

The Tobe Shangshu, who was named, hurriedly stood up and said yes again and again. Zhao Duo seemed to be a little hesitant on his face, but he didn't show it, now Prime Minister Zheng Cheng openly supports the emperor, I'm afraid that half of the ministers will be on his side, and their chances of winning will be greatly reduced, at the moment Zhao Duo weighed it up, and said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister Zheng Cheng is reasonable, but this is a heavenly oracle, although we can't understand it, but we can't ignore it." ”

"What His Highness the Sixth Highness said is very true, why don't you sacrifice this thing together when worshipping your ancestors, so as to seek the blessing of your ancestors." Prime Minister Zheng Cheng said lightly following Zhao Duo's words.

Zhao Duo's heart was stagnant, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart, this Prime Minister Zheng is really cunning, if he really burned this thing, how could he take advantage of the situation to make this matter bigger? Wouldn't his plans after that be useless?

"It's a bit inappropriate, but if you anger God, what if you punish it?" Zhao Duo forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, trying to make himself look calmer.
