Chapter 161 Chapter 159 The Human Heart (Medium)

The bustling palace finally fell into silence after a bloody wash, and the dawn of dawn was greeted when the morning dew slowly dripped from the blades of grass. The square in front of Chengqian's 'gate' was cleaned and cleaned, leaving no trace of meaning, and if it weren't for the faint smell of blood left in the air, no one would have imagined that such a cruel scene had happened here.

The officials in formal uniforms walked into the front hall one by one with serious faces, and respectfully lined up in two rows, waiting for Duanmuqing's arrival. There is no emotion on his face, but he has his own thoughts in his heart, because of physical reasons, Duanmuqing has not been to the court for several days, which is an extremely rare thing for Duanmuqing who wants to come to the diligent political affairs, he was injured on the battlefield at the beginning, and he still took the imperial doctor to listen to the government, so everyone is worried in the past few days of the court, if the emperor really did not survive this time, then once the son of heaven and a courtier, what should they do with these courtiers?

With the sound of the silent whip, Duanmu Qing slowly walked onto the throne with the support of Good. The officials knelt on the ground, respectfully waking up and bowing three times and nine bows. Duanmuqing turned around and sat down to look at the courtiers on the ground, and slowly spoke: "Zhong Aiqing is flat." ”

"Thank you for your grace."

Looking at the people below with strict expressions, the light in Duanmu Qing's eyes flickered slightly, some of these courtiers have followed him from birth to death on the battlefield, some of them have been raised by his own hands, and there are ...... 'jade' Han who has worked hard to enter the court has gradually stabilized under his rectification, and he can be regarded as worthy of the great wish he made in front of the emperor: "Everyone, I have something to announce today." Prince Ning and the Ministry of Rites are still available? ”

"Wechen is here."

Prince Ning and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu stood up, and for a while everyone sighed in their hearts, there are not many things to use the Ministry of Rites and the Prince, it seems that the court is about to rise again.

"I have been ruling diligently since I was in power, and I have been entrusted with the temple and the people, although I am not as good as the previous emperor, but I am worthy of heaven and earth, but now I am in poor health and can no longer support the imperial court, so I decided to set up the seventh prince Duanmu Lingyu as the crown prince, so that he can inherit my foundation and inherit the blessing of the ancestors of the 'jade' Han."

"The emperor thinks twice!"

Hearing Duanmuqing's words, many ministers' faces changed suddenly for a while, and they knelt on the ground and begged Duanmuqing to take back his life.

At this time, the announcement outside the 'door' rang out: "Prince Gong has arrived, Prince Zhuang has arrived." ”

Prince Ning hurriedly got up and welcomed the two imperial brothers in. Prince Gong bowed to Duanmu Qing a little slowly, and said: "Your Majesty, this king has heard the emperor's decision, the seventh prince is of good character, and he is the best candidate for the crown prince, and the emperor is shengming." ”

As soon as Prince Gong's words came out, the center of the court suddenly became clear, it seems that the emperor has made up his mind, and the establishment of the prince can be regarded as a continuation of the fundamental matter of the court, they naturally support it, but, why is this candidate the Seventh Prince, hasn't the emperor always disliked him, and he once vomited blood because of his romantic deeds, although he has changed a lot recently, and he has saved many people in the Jiangnan epidemic, however, how to look at the Seven Princes is not the best candidate. However, at this time, most people will not oppose it aggressively, in case Duanmu Lingyu really ascends the throne, then they will be the first people to be remembered by the emperor, which is not a good sign, anyway, even if they don't object, someone will naturally stand up.

Sure enough, Hou Guogong Hou Yi stood up, knelt in front of the emperor with a plop, slammed his two heads down, and his forehead suddenly turned blue: "Your Majesty, the old minister dared to interrupt the emperor, but there are a few words that the old minister has to say, the emperor, the crown prince is the foundation of the country, and the eldest prince is the eldest son of the emperor. ”

Hou Yi's words attracted many ministers to echo, although since ancient times, there are not many people who have really set up a son-in-law as the prince and later ascended the throne, but now the eldest prince has all the concubines, and he is indeed the most qualified to be made the prince.

Duanmu Qing glanced at Hou Yu, who was kneeling on the ground, and his voice was so cold that it seemed to be 'covered' with a layer of ice: "Is it a big crime to disrespect the imperial father?" ”

Hou Yi trembled, he didn't respect the emperor's father, thinking of the news he got before, his face suddenly turned white, and there was no blood at all, Hou Yu hadn't come back yet, and there was no news coming over, could it be that the eldest prince had really done something rebellious? As soon as this idea came out, I was so frightened that I didn't dare to say a word.

Duanmu Qing didn't pay attention to him anymore, only let him kneel on the ground, and said to Gude on the side: "Duanmu Lingyu, the seventh prince of Xuan!" ”

"The Seven Princes of Xuan enter the palace!"

The sun is sprinkled down in the sky, with the brilliance of the scorching eyes, Duanmu Lingyu, who is dressed in a bright yellow 'colored' prince's suit, walks in slowly with the steps of smelling, and seems to be stepping on the light under the background of the sun, and the momentum around him is 'forced', making people dare not look directly, as if they will be burned by the momentum around him at a glance. A pair of black 'colored' eyes are as deep as the deep night sky, and they seem to be cold ice, wrapped in icy cold, which makes people unable to resist any thoughts.

At this moment, everyone knew why the emperor would choose the Seventh Prince as the heir, such a momentum of 'force' people they had only felt in the emperor, and now Duanmu Lingyu is less than twenty years old, but he already has such a majestic momentum, no one will doubt his ability in such a person! Well, he was hiding before...... Such a prince who has strength, can also cultivate obscurity, and knows how to forbear, is really awe-inspiring.

Duanmu Lingyu stood in the center of the main hall and knelt straight down at Duanmu Qing: "Sons and daughters see their father, long live the emperor, long live, long live!" ”

The light voice was cold and cold, faintly echoing in the vast hall, the voice was neither high nor low, but it was majestic and solemn. The slowly rising morning sun broke through the shade of the clouds and hung straight in the sky, and the light was projected down, sprinkled all over the 'jade' cold ......

Zhuanghua Palace, Mu Qingya stood quietly in front of the palace 'gate', the plum 'flowers' in the courtyard bloomed just right, and the bright red 'flowers' seemed to be bloody, but they were with a fragrant fragrance. Although it was far away from the front hall, she still faintly heard the sound of three shouts and long live, and when she closed her eyes, she could imagine the majestic appearance of the man standing on the high platform at this moment...... He is now the prince, the emperor in the future, and the master of the 'jade' Han people! And what about her? What will be the relationship between him and her in the end?

At this time, a slightly anxious footstep came, interrupting Mu Qingya's thoughts, retracting her messy thoughts, suppressing all the emotions in her heart, and turning her head to look at Le Qi: "What's wrong?" ”

Le Qi walked quickly to the 'door', and didn't lead Bi Tao in. The palace 'girl' dressed in palace clothes knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The slave has seen Miss Mu!" ”

Mu Qingya looked at the girl ring in front of her: "What's the matter with you?" ”

Bi Tao knelt on the ground, her eyes full of anxiety: "Ask Miss Mu to save the slave!" Miss help! As he spoke, he kept kowtowing, and his forehead soon turned red.

Mu Qingya's eyes flashed, this Bi Tao served her when she was injured before, and was originally Duanmu Lingyu's subordinate, but after that, because of some of her own suspicions, Duanmu Lingyu no longer trusted her, and only put her in Concubine Wan's Liuli Palace, and now that she is in the palace, the news is extremely confidential, so how did she know?

"Bi Tao, how did you know I was here?"

Le Qi's pupils shrank, and he restrained Bi Tao at once: "Say!" ”

Bi Tao's eyes panicked: "Miss, the slave maid is at the master's command, and the master asked the slave maid to come to Miss, saying that the young lady will arrange the slave maid." Now Concubine Wan has heard that the third prince has gone crazy when she is imprisoned, and she wants to kill the slave maid, and the slave and maid have taken a lot of effort to escape, please Miss save me! ”

Mu Qingya coldly hooked the corners of her 'lips' after listening: "Bi Tao, are you a fool to me?" Le Qi, look at her and suppress her, and when things are almost done, then 'hand' her over to the prince. ”

"Yes!" Le Qi was about to go out with Bi Tao, but he didn't want to suddenly feel the black dot flashing in front of him, and a black 'colored' bead thought of Mu Qingya flying quickly, and hurriedly let go of Bi Tao and blocked her in front of her, and blocked the black 'color' master casually.

The beads slammed to the ground and burst instantly, a cloud of smoke rose, and Mu Qingya felt her body go soft before she could react, and then she didn't know anything when it was dark in front of her.

At this time, in the front hall, Prince Ning read out the edict of canonizing Duanmu Lingyu as the crown prince, and the canonization ceremony was scheduled to be held 18 days later. Duanmu Lingyu knelt under His Royal Highness, quietly listening to the reading of the holy decree, his heart was abnormally calm, he had been planning for this day for a long time, he originally thought that after hearing the news, he must be ecstatic, but he didn't want to be really there, but he didn't feel any big feelings, only felt that the burden on his shoulders was much heavier. This is what he deserves, and getting this position means more responsibility, and while he feels that he has a long way to go, a trace of loneliness rises in his heart, how good would it be if Qingya stood by his side at this time...... Thinking of those clear eyes, my heart suddenly palpitated, and my heartbeat suddenly accelerated a few beats, as if something bad had happened.

At this time, Prince Ning had already read out the holy decree, and Duanmu Lingyu received the decree and thanked him, and accepted the holy decree to accept everyone's worship.

The wood has been completed, and the ministers will not look for the prince's unhappiness, and they have bowed one after another, but Hou Yi's etiquette is particularly uncomfortable to look at. Duanmu Lingyu doesn't mind, now that the eldest prince can't sink the climate, he has a lot of time to rectify the court.

Duanmuqing waved his hand and retreated, and slowly walked back to his dormitory with Gude's support.

Duanmu Lingyu sent him to the 'door', wanting to go to see Qingya first, but he was surrounded by the ministers to congratulate, and he couldn't get out for a while, and it took more than half an hour to finally get rid of a group of ministers, and walked quickly to his Zhuanghua Palace, and just stepped into the palace 'door', a black shadow knelt in front of him: "Master, Miss Mu has been kidnapped!" ”
