The Taoist priest scratched his head and replied: "The emperor's dragon body was found by the eldest prince!" ”

"The Great Prince?" Daoist Xuanjizi's eyes widened: "How is this possible?" The eldest prince's side has always been quiet and quiet, how could it be that the eldest prince found it? ”

"I don't know......" The Taoist priest said: "There is an uproar in the mourning hall now, the emperor's relatives and important ministers of the court look at each other one by one, and they all feel unbelievable, how can this great prince, who has no background at all, actually at this time, have an amazing life, and find the emperor's dragon body ......"

"Old man, let me ask you, where did the eldest prince find it?" Daoist Xuanjizi hurriedly asked.

"I heard that it was the eldest prince who sensed the destiny of heaven, dreamed of the emperor's dream, said that he was lost, led away, and couldn't come back, and taught the eldest prince to pick him up, so in a small pavilion in the emperor's favorite imperial garden, the eldest prince wrote down that place, and after waking up, he went alone, this is not, he found the emperor's dragon body, saying that the emperor's dragon body was sitting there upright, and his face was ruddy."

"Now, in the middle of the court, I don't know how much trouble there is......" Xuanjizi stood up and said, "The old man wants to know, who set up this praying mantis to catch cicadas and yellow finches in the back game." ”

I also suddenly realized: "Although the eldest prince has not had the power behind him, but the queen mother's words have already been said in front, and whoever finds the dragon body, which prince will inherit the throne of the unification, in order to alleviate the situation on the string, I am afraid that the eldest prince this time is really a snipe and a clam fighting, and the fisherman will benefit." The Taoist said that the mysterious person who couldn't guess the head was probably the supporter of the eldest prince. "The best wife

"That's right," Li Qitang said: "The eldest prince must be prepared at this time, on the cusp of the storm." ”

Daoist Xuanjizi dusted off the dust on his robe and said, "Let's go, since we are no longer the object of competition for the second prince and the third prince, we can also show up and go to that mourning hall to take a look at the situation." ”

As he spoke, he walked out.

Li Qitang and I, as well as the Taoist priest who reported the news, also hurriedly followed, passed through two stone doors and an apricot-colored curtain, and suddenly opened up in front of us, and it was behind the huge mourning hall.

I saw that in the mourning hall, there were two rows of dignitaries and dignitaries dressed in white solemnly, and the queen mother was sitting in front of the spirit upright, and behind her stood Lord Lanyue. An amiable prince is standing beside the second prince, who looks a little older than the second prince, and there is a little childish, who is about the third prince.

The three princes stood together, and no one spoke to anyone, but quietly seemed to have something on their minds, all waiting for something.

The Empress Dowager raised her eyelids and said, "The head of the Xuanjizi Daoist is out of the customs, not too early or late, just in time for this, I don't know what it means?" ”

Xuanjizi said busily: "Come to think of it, conform to the mandate of heaven, that's what it means, as soon as you get out of the pass, the emperor dies, and the old man is extremely sad, and he hates that he has never helped the emperor and completed the emperor's unfinished business." "There are too many demons to bear

"This doesn't hinder anything," the Queen Mother asked slowly, but imposingly: "The old master has died, the new master has not yet been established, Xuanjizi Daoist, you may divinate for a while, where is the future of our court?" ”

The Xuanji Zidao chief sang a song and replied seriously: "In the heart of the Queen Mother, there have already been results, and the old man does not dare to get an axe. In vain, he figured out the phoenix's intentions, and only listened to the instructions of the queen mother. ”

Xuanjizi Daoist is worthy of being a "human spirit" who has lived for so many years, not a drop of water, and he threw the problem to the Queen Mother mellowly, the Queen Mother chuckled lightly and said: "Ping Zhi is you, but also to raise soldiers for a thousand days, use soldiers for a while, you are good, seeing such a situation, it is actually to teach a woman from the mourning family to make decisions, this is okay for a hundred generations, if the stink is left for 10,000 years, wouldn't all the charges be attributed to the mourning family?" One by one, you are very good at looking for Qiaozong, so that you can protect yourself, hot potato, no one wants to take it, right? ”

"The ministers don't dare to ......" was frustrated, and the neat response seemed extraordinarily well-trained, and it could be seen that these princes and ministers, I was afraid that the tongues of these words were calloused.

Seeing that the Queen Mother couldn't go back on her word, she didn't want to give up the throne she wanted to leave to the three princes, and she just needed a step down, but it was very difficult to find this step. It's probably very distressing. I don't want to be untrustworthy, I don't want to miss the opportunity, and I don't want to work hard to make wedding clothes for others, probably the Queen Mother and Lord Lanyue have already racked their brains. Endless Beast Soul

When the eldest prince saw this situation, he hurriedly knelt down and said: "Although the imperial grandmother said that the prince who finds the dragon body can inherit the great unification, and in that dream, the father also said that the grandson is the most trusted son of the father, but the grandson does not want to embarrass the imperial grandmother, seeing that the second emperor brother is virtuous, the third emperor is clever, and the grandson is ashamed to be the eldest brother, but it is not more suitable for this throne than the two imperial brothers. The grandson is assisted in the court, and he is already satisfied. ”

The queen mother's face became more and more ugly, the words of the eldest prince were clearly retreating as advances, reminding the queen mother not to break her word and gain fat, causing infamy from future generations, but pretending to be humble and friendly, this remark was so emotional that even I was almost moved, not to mention those officials who were already wavering, but they won a lot of sympathy for themselves, and they were really a powerful character.

The Queen Mother pondered for a while, and said: "You get up, you don't have to be arrogant, and a bowl of water is level, although it is not easy, but after all, you are the grandson of the imperial grandmother, and the imperial grandmother will naturally not favor one over the other, and you are unfair, no matter how you say, the emperor is dreaming, looking for you, it can be seen that you are in the emperor's heart, but it is not light, but now why the emperor is missing the dragon body is still a mystery, and the matter of the new monarch is ......"

At this time, it was naturally even more silent, the queen mother's desire to speak stopped, and the ministers were even more uncertain, who should be supported, really supported the eldest prince, if the second prince and the third prince waited for the opportunity to rebel and make chaos, the country would inevitably be out of the country, and the country would be in chaos.

The first to break this stagnant silence was a minister with a goatee and a white face, who came out of the neat queue and kowtowed, "The minister has something to say." ”
