Chapter 194: A Thunderbolt Rises to the Sky
The Purple Divine Show Pill is a saint-level third-grade healing pill, one is worth tens of thousands of taels of gold, as long as the injured person has not completely lost his breath, there is at least a thirty percent chance that he can save the person back.
The onlookers naturally didn't know the value of the elixir that the young man had just stuffed into the boy's mouth was, even if he sold this town, it wouldn't be worth that much money. They saw Shi Zhiyi stuff a pill down, and the Sun family's Dumiao, who had already stepped into the ghost gate with one foot, immediately showed signs of waking up, and they were all amazed.
While they were talking, they saw the boy's eyelids move, and then he opened his eyes!
Seeing this, the lady of the Sun family rushed to the child's side in surprise and cried bitterly. It's just that unlike just now, what she shed this time was tears of surprise.
Shi Zhiyi saw that the boy opened his eyes, knew that his life should have been saved, and was about to leave quietly, but saw that the lady of the Sun family suddenly turned around, called his benefactor to him, and kowtowed again and again. Shi Zhiyi was at a loss, and the child's father, Sun Tailor, also arrived from his home in the east of the town after hearing the news, and the husband and wife grabbed Shi Zhiyi and asked him to sit at home to thank him for his kindness.
Tailor Sun found a cart, spread several layers of thick bedding, carried the child to the car, and the family of three left with Shi Zhiyi, and the crowd of onlookers dispersed. Only the peasant woman who Shi Zhiyi questioned him just now still chased after Shi Zhiyi and kept asking: "This little brother, you look a little faceless, aren't you from the town? Where is your home? How old is this year? Have you married a daughter-in-law?"

......
Kyoto, Imperial Palace, Jotenden.
Today is the day of the Great Dynasty Meeting, and all the civil and military officials are extraordinarily Qi, and none of them are absent, even the Ministry of Rites, who has been ill for several months and has not been to the court, dragged a sick body and stood tremblingly in his position.
Because everyone knows that at today's court meeting, Emperor Jingchang will announce the candidate for the throne of the prince, who is to determine the heir to the throne of the Great Jin Dynasty. This day was supposed to come earlier, but three months ago, a fire on the outskirts of Beijing plunged the whole of Kyoto into a haze, and it is said that there were officials from the Qin Tianjian who played it, and the sky was dark, and the court was disorderly, and it was not suitable to issue major decisions, so this day of establishment was postponed for a few months.
Yu Zhongcheng, the eldest prince who stood side by side with Prince Rui and the other three princes, tried his best to show a look of honor and disgrace, but the smile that rose from time to time on the corner of his mouth betrayed the excitement in his heart at this time.
From the day he became sensible, he looked forward to the arrival of this day, and this wait is nearly thirty years. The second prince Yu Zhongjing, who was still a threat to him, was cocooned and colluded with the Beigong family to attack the third child, but he let the third child escape, and instead made himself a commoner. Now that he is gone, there is basically no suspense about the ownership of the position of the prince.
Although he is now a prince, he does not hold any actual power, relying on the identity of the prince himself and the power of the queen Daxi's family. After becoming the prince, he was able to justifiably begin to participate in all aspects of court politics and prepare for his future accession to the throne.
The benefits of this change in identity will also be very considerable. The more power he wields, the faster his wealth will accumulate, and the faster his personal strength will improve. In the Great Jin Dynasty, where martial arts were respected, the degree of respect an emperor received was to a large extent positively correlated with his personal strength.
Many civil and military officials also clearly know the significance of today for the eldest prince Yu Zhongcheng. During the last dynasty, the position where the hundred officials stood was originally distributed vertically and horizontally like a chessboard, but almost all the officials intentionally or unintentionally turned slightly sideways in the direction of the great prince, and when they looked down from a high place, they would find that they had formed a fan shape centered on the great prince!
Compared with the complacent eldest prince Yu Zhongcheng, the existence of the third prince Yu Zhongqian seems to be a little lonely. Although he also stood in the first row, in the eyes of everyone, he seemed to be invisible, and the gazes cast by the hundred officials automatically ignored him, but shot directly at the eldest prince.
After the chief eunuch sang, Emperor Jingchang finally appeared and sat on his gold-cast, extremely spacious dragon chair.
"It has been more than 600 years since the opening of the Great Jin Dynasty, in order to ensure that there are successors to the Great Jin Dynasty, today I will discuss with you Aiqing the candidate for the prince. ”
"The eldest prince Yu Zhongcheng, the eldest son born to the queen, is heroic and intelligent, and I am very relieved, but the candidate for the position of the prince, does Zhu Aiqing have any objections?"
For more than 600 years in the Great Jin Dynasty, civil and military officials have almost no say in this matter, and the final candidates are all set by the emperor, and the so-called discussion is actually just a formality.
Just wait for the hundred officials to say: "The ministers have no objections", and the position of the prince of the great prince will be officially confirmed.
The eldest prince's hands were already clenched into fists, although he knew that this moment was only a matter of time for him, but he still couldn't suppress his nervous and excited feelings.
Just when the civil and military officials were about to open their mouths to reply, they heard a clear voice in the first row: "Erchen has objections!"
At this moment, the hundred officials almost thought that there was something wrong with their ears, but when they turned their heads and looked at the colleagues around them, they were all stunned and shocked, and only then did they realize that the voice just now was not an auditory hallucination.
Emperor Jingchang did not have this illusion, he turned his head slightly, looked at Yu Zhongqian, the third prince who had just spoken, and asked in a deep voice: "Zhongqian, what objections do you have?"
"Big brother Wen Tao Wuluo, Zhong Qian has always been respectful, but the position of the prince is related to the foundation of the Great Jin Dynasty, although Zhong Qian is more than ten years younger than the elder brother, but he thinks that he has never fallen behind in all aspects, so he has the courage to ask his father to give Zhong Qian a chance to select a more suitable candidate for the position of the prince!"
Yu Zhongqian's voice was not loud, but the words were clear, and when they reached the ears of hundreds of officials in the court, it was like throwing a boulder into the water tank. The eldest prince Yu Zhongcheng glared at him even more, and in his eyes, he wished that he could breathe fire and burn his younger brother to death.
"Zhong Qian has always been a child in my heart, and before I know it, he is already twenty years old. Since you have confidence in yourself, this matter will be put on hold today, and I will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the two of you, and then reconfirm the candidate for the position of the prince. ”
If Yu Zhongqian's words just now were to throw a boulder into the water tank, splashing a huge splash, then Emperor Jingchang's words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, smashing the entire water tank!
