Chapter 423: Drunk Chang'an
Early in the morning of the second day, there was news in the palace that the former emperor Li Gan had died.
Only Jiang Chen knew that Li Gan did not die, but ascended to the immortal realm.
Subsequently, the whole country mourned for seven days, and Chang'an City also held an unusually grand ceremony.
After that, it was time for the new emperor to succeed him.
The country cannot be without a king for a day, and it has been seven days since the death of the first emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but the new emperor has not been elected for a long time.
It can be said that the current Chang'an City, the most talked about is which prince can succeed the prince, and many courtiers and generals will also start to stand in line at this time, choosing the master who is most likely to ascend the throne.
The day after the ceremony, Jiang Chen received an invitation from the crown prince Li Fu, inviting Jiang Chen to the palace to discuss the registration of the new emperor.
For these things, Jiang Chen originally didn't want to meddle, but because he promised Li Gan, he still chose to go to the prince's mansion.
The Prince's Mansion is not luxurious, but it is very exquisite, the mansion is planted with spiritual flowers and plants, and the pavilions and pavilions are also scattered.
The two subordinates led the way in front very respectfully and led Jiang Chen to the back garden.
In the back garden, it is the season of flowers, purple and red, full of spring.
Li Fu was sitting in front of a white jade table, and when he saw Jiang Chen coming, he hurriedly got up and greeted him.
"Master Jiang, you're here, please take a seat!"
Li Fu's attitude was very respectful.
He knew very well how much weight Jiang Chen had in Eastern Tang Prefecture now, if Jiang Chen could fully support him to ascend the throne, then the throne would be eight or nine.
Jiang Chen sat down casually.
"Prince, what I said to you last time. You shouldn't have forgotten it, right?" Jiang Chen glanced up at Li Fu.
Li Fu's expression changed slightly. He naturally remembered what Jiang Chen said to him. Jiang Chen asked him not to fight for the throne, but Li Fu was unwilling!
"Master Jiang, I sincerely invite you to come this time, but I don't understand this matter, why do you say that the throne does not belong to me, is it because I have not done well enough?" Li Fu said very sincerely, looking like he was humbly asking Jiang Chen for advice.
Jiang Chen shook his head slightly and said, "It's not that you didn't do well enough...... Again, that's the same sentence. What is yours is yours, and it is useless to be reluctant if it is not yours. ”
Today's Jiang Chen, his cultivation has reached the top of the Ten Thousand Spirits Realm, and his prestige in all aspects is not weaker than any of his predecessors, so there will be an undoubted majesty between his gestures.
Of course, this also has a huge relationship with Jiang Chen's previous life as an Immortal Emperor.
But in Li Fu's eyes, this is not the case, Jiang Chen is indeed very prestigious, and his influence is unprecedented. But after all, it's just an outsider, the matter of the throne of the Tang Dynasty. Matters that should belong to the royal family should be solved by royal people.
Although Jiang Chen has huge influence, he should not interfere in the family affairs of the royal family.
Moreover, Jiang Chen's announcement of the throne in this way has nothing to do with him Li Fu, there is no room for negotiation, and there is not even a smooth reason, how can Li Fu be willing?
The expression on Li Fu's face kept changing, and finally he calmed down.
"Master Jiang, since you say so, then I will believe you! I, Li Fu, will withdraw from the struggle for the throne!" Li Fu said suddenly.
This was a bit unexpected for Jiang Chen, he didn't expect Li Fu to be so simple?
Jiang Chen's gaze swept over Li Fu's face, and he saw Li Fu's very sincere expression.
"Master Jiang, then which imperial brother do you think should be chosen to ascend the throne this time?" Li Fu asked again, while raising the wine glass in his hand and signaling towards Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen smiled faintly, picked up the wine glass in front of him, drank it all, and then said: "Prince, who should hold the imperial power, will naturally know when the time comes, it is too early to say this." Well...... I believe it won't take long...... It is three days as fast as it is half a month, and I believe that the new emperor will soon ascend the throne. ”
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Li Fu's eyes.
But he very skillfully concealed this ruthlessness, and restored his suave appearance.
"Okay, since that's the case, then I'll wait and see! Today, Master Jiang admires his face, and being able to come to my humble house coincides with the flowers competing in this garden, so you might as well enjoy another piece of dance music!"
After speaking, Li Fu clasped his hands together and slapped twice.
Soon a large group of curvaceous, well-dressed women walked in from outside, holding various musical instruments.
"Master Jiang, one of my favorite dance songs is called Drunken Chang'an, I will dedicate it to Master Jiang today, I hope you can like it!" Li Fu said, and waved his hand to the women to start.
In the middle of the group stood a woman in a long fiery red dress, clearly a dancer.
The other women are sitting all over the garden, either holding the pipa, or caressing the yaoqin, or holding the suona, with different postures and graceful charm.
As the dancer in the middle threw out the three-zhang red silk in his hand, all kinds of musical sounds suddenly came.
Jiang Chen's consciousness was shocked, this song gave him a refreshing feeling.
You must know that Jiang Chen also has a good attainment in the way of vocal music, otherwise it would not have been possible to defeat Huang Fujun in the way of fighting the piano when he was in the Xianji Mansion.
But this song has a sense of a hundred flowers competing for beauty from the beginning, just like spreading the prosperity of Chang'an directly in front of Jiang Chen's eyes.
"Drunk Chang'an...... The most beautiful is Chang'an......"
Jiang Chen was quickly immersed in this dance music, and at the same time, his gaze fell on the dancer in the center.
This dancer looks extremely charming, her white and flawless skin is simply white, and the long skirt around her is like a cluster of fire.
Every movement of her interprets the connotation of dance music to the right place.
Jiang Chen seemed to see the magnificent scene of Chang'an City in front of him, the wind and rain in the world were smooth, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the world was a prosperous and peaceful scene.
But gradually, Jiang Chen sensed that something was wrong.
The sound of the orchestra around began to become a little lingering, like a glamorous sound, under the prosperity of Chang'an City, more enchanting and charming.
"A hundred flowers compete for beauty, a hundred miles of Chang'an, the most beautiful is a beauty......"
Jiang Chen seemed to be in an endless gentle township, surrounded by warm and soft women, all of them were graceful and shy, and Jiang Chen was a drunkard.
Drunk Chang'an?
It is not the wine that is intoxicating, but the beauty of Chang'an......
"That's not right!" Jiang Chen shook his head suddenly, he felt that his consciousness was in a trance, as if there was a problem with his consciousness.
"This drunken beauty will indeed confuse people's minds, but with my divine sense, I shouldn't fall into it!"
Jiang Chen felt that his consciousness was becoming more and more blurred, although he knew that he was being confused, but he couldn't break free from this state.
Then, Jiang Chen saw that the dancer waved the long sword in his hand and stabbed at him!
Li Fu actually wanted to kill himself! (To be continued......)
