The princess of Dayu, who has always been unfavored, suddenly inherited the throne of the crown prince.
This is a major event that has never been done before.
Because of the relationship between the national teachers, everyone dared not say anything on the surface.
The people rejoiced, this is the national teacher who found Mingjun for them.
They don't care whether the future emperor is male or female, as long as he is elected by the national teacher, he must be good.
There was an undercurrent among the officials for a while.
Little by little, time passed.
The old emperor's body is getting worse day by day.
A silent smoke of gunpowder gradually kicked off.
Ling'er was practicing the swordsmanship that Gu Wei Zheng taught her in the courtyard, and Gong Liu suddenly ran in from outside in a panic.
He swept Ling'er's eyes flashing when he saw Ling'er who was practicing swords.
"Ling'er, the queen, the queen has an accident!"
Gong Liu bowed and gasped, running from outside the palace gate to the National Teacher's Mansion, he was very tired.
Ling'er pinned the sword in his hand behind him, frowned and was about to run out.
"Where's the Queen Mother?"
Gong Roku glanced at the sword she was carrying behind her, and his eyes flashed.
"The queen mother went to Lingyun Temple this morning to pray for you, and when I heard that it was a blessing, I suddenly fainted."
This matter is not made up by him, this morning the queen went to Lingyun Temple to pray for blessings is obvious to the people.
Ling'er was about to rush out when she heard this.
Gong Liuyi grabbed her wrist, "Ling'er, it's not good to go to the temple and bring a sword." β
Ling'er didn't think much about it, they were from the National Teacher's Mansion, and they were even more superstitious about some things.
The national teacher did not say where he came from, but the terrifying and awe-inspiring power in him was obvious to all.
Ling'er handed the sword to Gong Liu, turned around and pursed his lips and walked out of the courtyard.
Gong Sixteen happened to come in with something.
"Ling'er, where are you going/"
Gong Liu glanced at Gong Sixteen, and his eyes moved.
"Something happened to the queen."
Gong Sixteen immediately put down the things in his hand and looked at Gong Liu, who was standing in place, with some confusion.
How could this guy be so kind today and help spread the word?
He didn't think much about it, and hurriedly chased after Ling'er.
At this time, the two came out of the National Teacher's Mansion, and they were talking about the queen's mother everywhere.
It's as if the queen fainted in front of them praying for blessings.
"Eh, I heard that the queen mother prayed for the queen daughter, and the incense in front of the Buddha statue was directly broken into two sections, and the queen mother was frightened."
"What do you know, I heard, the incense exploded with sparks, otherwise the queen would be dizzy."
"The third uncle of my nephew's uncle's neighbor is on an errand in the palace, and he said that the queen mother has had nightmares since the queen daughter was erected, so she went to Lingyun Temple."
"Do you remember that after the birth of the crown princess, we haven't had a single rain, and every year the national teacher prays for rain, otherwise we would have had a drought a long time ago."
A lady interjected hesitantly.
"Do you mean that the princess is a demon? But the national teacher said that she was the future Mingjun. β
The other lady pushed her arm, and the two exchanged a look.
"Don't you know, my relatives are in the palace, don't I know yet? This national teacher has long had a leg with the princess, do you look at the appearance of the princess, it looks like a person can grow? β
"Could it be that Cheng Guoshi was fascinated by demons?"
"Impossible! Don't slander the national teacher! β
The eldest lady glanced sideways at the person who spoke, and her mouth was unconvinced.
"The national teacher is also a man, it is inevitable to be seduced by demons, this is not what I said, who among those royal relatives and nobles does not know?"
Ling'er walked past these people, and the foul words in her ears almost crushed her whole person.
The white clothes of the two are too obvious, and Ling'er's appearance is like a pearl in the water.
At a glance, these people saw the two people in a hurry.
The voices of the two aunts were a little louder.
"The national teacher is good, I'm afraid that he was seduced by some things, in all dynasties, how can a woman be the emperor?"
"That's because there were no demons who could bring disaster to the country and the people before."
"Phew."
Ling'er, who was praised by the people a few days ago, was stepped on in the dust in an instant.
Gong Sixteen tried his best to protect her, and glanced back at the old woman who was still scolding.
"How much did you charge? Dare to question the decision of the national teacher? You can sell anything for money. β
The old woman was stunned by what he said.
The national teacher was like an insurmountable mountain in their hearts, and Gong Sixteen's words made her tremble subconsciously.
The footsteps of the two did not stop because of these gossips.
Ling'er still remembers her mother's tears, and she doesn't want her mother to have an accident.
Lingunji Temple is a royal temple located not far from Miyagi.
Heavy troops have been surrounded outside the temple, and layers of people in armor are neatly guarding the sides of the temple.
Ling'er's back stiffened.
A sense of foreboding rose to my heart.
The soldiers in both rows did not stop her.
Just glanced at Gong Sixteen behind her and frowned.
The person on the side said something in the person's ear, and the two entered the Lingyun Temple guarded layer by layer together.
Inside Lingyun Temple, it seems that martial law is even stricter than outside.
The more Ling'er walked, the more she felt that something was wrong.
Gong Sixteen's back gradually stiffened as more and more soldiers grew.
βDuangγβ
βDuangγβ
βDuangγβ
A deafening bell rang out from inside the palace.
Every time it gets louder and louder.
I can't hear how many knocks Ling'er has knocked in total.
This is the death knell.
Just now... Her father, the Emperor, has died.
She stood in Lingyun Temple, looking at the queen mother sitting in front of her, her throat was like a thorn.
"Mother, mother, why."
When she saw the queen sitting comfortably on the willow chair, Ling'er instantly understood everything.
Lingyun Temple is under martial law, not because of the mother's illness.
It's all because of her.
The queen slowly turned her head away, and at this moment she seemed to be dozens of years old.
The voice was thick with exhaustion.
"Ling'er, you are a girl, how can you sit in that position, it is better to let your brother, you can be a happy princess for a lifetime."
Ling'er slowly stood up from the ground, and the Praetorian Guards behind him approached little by little with a saber in his hand.
She looked left and right, a bitter smile curling into her lips.
"Queen Mother, it's better to say what else to do."
As the crown princess personally selected by the national teacher, she can't fight against either the people or public opinion.
Even if they are royalty.
The status of the national teacher in Dayu is too high.
They can't compete with the national teachers.
The eldest duke behind the queen slowly passed a cup from behind her.
"Drink her."
Gong Sixteen frowned on the side, holding Ling'er's hand and about to run away.
They have a charm taught by the national teacher, and it is not too easy to run out of the hands of these ordinary people.
A piece of yellow rune paper was thrown in the air, and Gong Sixteen pinched it. .......
"Little junior brother, don't waste your thoughts, with the two of you, how can you be worthy of us?"
