Chapter 22: Undercurrents
Tiandu, Xie Fu.
When Xie Yao returned home, it was already the beginning of the lanterns, and today the Son of Heaven vomited blood in the main hall, Xie Yao noticed that something was wrong, although he was not a great Confucian, but the Confucian habitat was already very sensitive to the sense of the green qi of the city moat, and he clearly felt that the green qi of the Tiandu moat fluctuated, and then the Son of Heaven vomited blood.
And the thunder that resounded through the heavens and the earth made him feel a sense of sadness.
"Master~" The pretty maid who was waiting saw Xie Yao coming back, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him loosen his clothes.
"No, have Hui'er and Yun'er ever returned? Let him come to me! Xie Yao waved his hand.
"Yes, the two sons have returned! Slave and maid, please go and please! The maid agreed, and bowed back.
Xie Yao went to his study and asked people to guard outside the courtyard, and in the courtyard where the study was located, no one was allowed to approach except Xie Hui and Xie Yun.
After entering the room, Xie Yao went straight to the bookshelf, and after turning a vase three times, the bookshelf began to move slowly, and a dark passage appeared.
Xie Yao went straight in, and after a while, he came out with a bamboo slip.
Nowadays, Daqian paper books have long been popularized, and bamboo slips like this have almost disappeared on the market.
The bamboo slips are obviously some years old, and even the handwriting recorded on them is not in today's writing, but in ancient characters.
Carefully flipping through the yellowed bamboo slips, Xie Yao's gaze swept over the bamboo slips.
"Dad, are you looking for us?" The knock on the door was accompanied by Xie Hui's voice.
"Come in!" Xie Yao answered, but his gaze never left the bamboo slip.
Two young men pushed the door in, and one of the slightly younger ones couldn't wait to say, "Dad, I heard that today in the Chaotian Palace, Your Majesty suddenly vomited blood?" ”
"How many times have I told you, be steady in case of trouble, and learn from your eldest brother!" Xie Yao looked at his second son with some dissatisfaction, it was too frivolous, but although the eldest son Xie Hui was a concubine, he had a moderate demeanor, which was quite valued by Xie Yao.
"Yes, yes, yes." Xie Yun pursed his lips secretly.
"It's enough to say it once!" A green tendon burst out of Xie Yao's head, and he scolded angrily.
"Yes, the child knows." Xie Yun straightened his face and said.
"Dad, the child went to Qintianjian today, originally wanted to visit the prison, but I didn't see it, according to Situ Nan, the eldest disciple of the prison, Cao Jingzhong came to pass the decree today, and after being rejected by the prison, the prisoner disappeared, and he didn't return to the Qintianprison, my father came to me and waited, but for this matter?" Xie Hui bowed.
"Well, that's good." Xie Yao nodded with satisfaction: "What I told you two today is a major event related to the future of my Xie family, and today's thunder can be heard." ”
"Naturally, where did the thunder come from?" Xie Yun nodded, a little puzzled.
The sky is clear, and there is a moat to protect it, but even so, it makes people feel like the sky is about to fall.
"It should be Dongzhou!" Xie Yao pointed to the bamboo slip on the table and said: "This thing is something that my Xie family has obtained since the previous dynasty, and it records some secrets of heaven and earth. ”
Seeing that the two sons were surprised, Xie Yao smiled and said: "Eight hundred years ago, the founding king of Daqian obtained this thing and set the foundation of Daqian for 800 years. ”
"Mountains and rivers? Ritual weapons? What's so strange about this thing? Xie Yun wondered.
"I don't know, those who hold this thing, it is rumored that they can turn evil into good fortune, and there will be immortals to help." Xie Yao shook his head.
"What immortals, it's just the so-called immortal sects of Taoism." Xie Yun said disdainfully, there are a lot of five grades in the court, if you count forward, Da Qian also produced three grades of Confucianism, and the rumors of the founding son of heaven are that they are a first-grade martial artist, in Xie Yun's eyes, the so-called immortal gate is just a force established by some people who have practiced for a long time, and they can't be contaminated with red dust, they can only hide in the deep mountains and old forests to cultivate, what's the point of living like that even if you live for a long time?
"Shut up!" Xie Yao glared at his son angrily and said, "Don't forget, the prison is also from the Immortal Sect." ”
No one knows how high the specific cultivation of the Qintian Prison Supervisor is, anyway, it must have exceeded the fifth grade, otherwise it would be impossible to have such a transcendent status in Daqian.
After all, there are also many masters of the Great Cadres, and if the supervision and cultivation are too poor, how can they maintain the transcendent status of the Great Cadres?
Of course, behind this transcendence, there is also the influence of the sect behind him.
"Father is saying that today's vision of heaven and earth is related to this mountain and river seal?" Xie Hui looked at Xie Yao and said.
"Hmm." Xie Yao nodded and said: "Today's vision is exactly the same as the record of the decline and fall of the previous dynasty, so my father wants you to go to Dongzhou to find your uncle and see if you can find this mountain and river seal?" ”
If the Xie family can get the seal of mountains and rivers, maybe the surname Xie should be in the world.
"Father, don't worry, the child will leave tomorrow." Xie Hui nodded, and then said, "Father, but I don't know what this mountain and river seal looks like?" ”
"There is no record of this, but you should know it when you go to Dongzhou."
"How do you find this!?" Xie Yun said in amazement.
"Just you talk a lot." Xie Yao glared at him and said, "Remember, this is going to Dongzhou, and meeting your uncle as soon as possible, this movement is so big, I'm afraid there are many forces going to Dongzhou." ”
"Yes!" Xie Hui and Xie Yun agreed when they heard this, and seeing that Xie Yao had no other instructions, they got up and left.
Not only the Xie family, but also the Cui family and the Murong family, which have a long heritage, have more or less understanding of the mountains and rivers.
……
The Imperial Palace, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.
Ji Huan looked at the roof with a decayed complexion, and let the imperial doctor take his pulse.
After a long time, the imperial physician respectfully put Ji Huan's hand back into the silk quilt, bowed and said: "Your Majesty's body does not have too many abnormalities, you just need to rest in peace, take some decoction to calm your nerves and replenish qi, and rest for a while." ”
Ji Huan ignored him, just waved his hand and motioned for him to step back.
Cao Jingzhong hesitated for a moment and followed out.
"Imperial Physician Chen, is Your Majesty really okay?" Cao Jingzhong stopped the imperial doctor.
"Gong Cao, rest assured, Your Majesty's body is indeed not abnormal, but for some reason, the lack of qi and blood is very strong, and it doesn't look like an overindulgence." Imperial Physician Chen nodded, then frowned and said, "The old man has studied medicine for many years, and it is the first time that he has encountered such symptoms as His Majesty today. ”
"I'm tired." Cao Jingzhong nodded: "I'll send the imperial doctor." ”
"Gong Cao has a heart, but let's take care of Your Majesty first, this medicine stone is still secondary, if Your Majesty can keep a cheerful mood, many diseases can actually be cured without medicine." Imperial Physician Chen shook his head and saluted Cao Jingzhong and said, "The lower official has taken his leave first." ”
"Walk slowly!" Cao Jingzhong nodded and asked a little eunuch to send Imperial Physician Chen out of the palace.
"Father-in-law, Your Majesty is calling you." A eunuch came out and saw Cao Jingzhong and said in a low voice.
"Got it." Cao Jingzhong nodded, entered the Heart Cultivation Palace, came to Ji Huan's couch, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty." ”
"Jingzhong, how long have you been following me?" Ji Huan sighed and asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, it has been thirty-nine years since the slave maid was an attendant to Your Majesty." Cao Jingzhong bowed and said.
"Thirty-nine years, I was only eighteen years old at that time, I didn't even think that one day I could be the emperor, my father wanted to pass on the throne to me, and you also helped me to ascend the throne desperately. Ji Huan said with emotion.
"Why did Your Majesty suddenly say this?" Cao Jingzhong said with some trepidation.
"The country is unstable, and I don't seem to have much time." Ji Huan's expression was a little gloomy: "Among the sons, who do you say can succeed the unification?" ”
Cao Jingzhong hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the imperial doctor said ......"
"Don't pay attention to the words of quacks, what do they know? I know my situation very well. Ji Huan waved his hand and said: "There are some things that ordinary people don't understand, but I know that my limit is approaching, but this country has become what it is today, I think about all the sons, but no one can take over this country, I really don't feel at ease." ”
"Your Majesty~" Cao Jingzhong hurriedly kowtowed: "Please don't say such words again, the slave is terrified~"
"Jingzhong, I can only trust you now." Ji Huan lost his voice and said: "There is one thing, I want you to do it for me." ”
"Your Majesty, please say that the slave and maid are broken bones, and they will definitely do this for Your Majesty." Cao Jingzhong kowtowed.
"Go to Dongzhou!" Ji Huan took out a piece of jade pendant from under the pillow, the mana in his hand surged, and the three-dimensional projection of a seal appeared in front of Cao Jingzhong's eyes: "Find this thing, try to bring it back." ”
The seal is somewhat similar to the jade seal of the Son of Heaven, the whole body is smooth and white, but it is different from the jade seal, which is engraved with mountains, rivers and rivers, the sun, moon and stars, exuding an ancient atmosphere.
"This change in heaven and earth is related to this thing, bringing it back may be able to extend my life for some time." Ji Huan lost his mind.
"The slave obeys." Cao Jingzhong raised his head, remembered the appearance of the seal, bowed and said, "I will definitely bring this thing back." ”
"Don't force it, there are too many people fighting for this thing, since it came out, I haven't heard of any court that can get it, do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, whether you get it or not, you have to come back, I ...... Who can still be trusted today...... Not much. Ji Huan shook his head.
"Your Majesty~" Cao Jingzhong's nose was sour, he closed his eyes and wept: "The slave is a broken body, and she must be recovered." ”
"Go ahead, bring more masters." Ji Huan waved his hand and said, "Don't force it, if you can't do it, try to kill more masters of the family for me." ”
"Slave obeys!" Cao Jingzhong said goodbye.
"Besides......" Ji Huan was silent for a moment and said: "Inform the princes of this news, if any of them can get it, then this throne will be handed over to this person to sit on." ”
Cao Jingzhong listened to Ji Huan's words of explaining the aftermath, his body stiffened, and then he nodded and said, "The slave obeys the order!" ”
Seeing that Ji Huan had no other instructions, Cao Jingzhong got up silently and bowed down to exit the Heart Cultivation Palace.
"Father-in-law!" When I left the Heart Cultivation Palace, I saw a eunuch coming.
"Did you hear it all?" Cao Jingzhong took a deep breath and asked.
"Heard that, is this news blocked?"
"No, send someone to inform the princes." Cao Jingzhong shook his head: "Inform your other brothers, get ready, we will set off for Dongzhou overnight." ”
"Yes~"
After thinking about it, let's send it out.,First, continue to thank the warm sun boss.,Second, let's change the map as many nodes as possible.
