Chapter 42: The Thorn Beast
Zhao He entered the city and laughed softly, the clouds on the horizon were white and flawless, and the blood stains on his body were unbearable.
The prince's brother was admonished by his father, did he still have the courage to send him to assassinate again?
So the second prince's brother......
Zhao He smiled lightly, but two lines of tears flowed, and the two captains on the side seemed to sense that something was wrong, but neither of them spoke.
Zhao He gently held a handkerchief in his hand, how could the rebellion that should have been exterminated a long time ago appear again, whether their leader was not dead yet, or was he being captive by someone.
Zhao He snorted coldly, these monsters with no feelings!
The most sudden attack of this trip was in a forest, those monsters suddenly came out of the ground, they were raised, maybe they could not be called human beings at all, the kind of elixir that hurt the heavens and the peace was made from the demon pill that once hunted and killed monsters.
Horseshoe burst, Chen Xi, who was sitting in a teahouse along the street, quietly looked at the team in front of him, the elite of the Tailin army, and ...... Leopard Rider, Leopard Rider Leader Wan Stiff, that man, that man with a spear, maybe Wan Stiff is his name, or maybe it's just a code name.
Two miles ahead, in the palace, a red carpet was rolled out to greet Zhao He, no, to welcome the elixir on the stiff waist.
It was a happy day for all.
Perhaps!
At least on the surface, it seems that the prince, the prince, and the civil and military officials all like it.
Three days later, there was a big banquet in the palace for the ministers and the famous scholars and monks in Qingcheng.
Chen Xi was naturally invited.
Following the procession, they poured into the palace, and outside the east hall was a large and surprising square, where nearly 400 people met without crowding.
Looking at the hundred officials, it is easy to distinguish between the princelings and the second princes.
The Second Prince's Party, this small group that is becoming more and more fledgling, it is strange that the emperor of Nanqing does not care about this kind of thing.
Does he really have the heart to work for another twenty years and pass on the throne to the second prince?
This is the reason why the princelings are sitting on pins and needles, seeing the increasingly powerful Second Princes, it is inevitable that some wall grass will fall over, but the key is that they are old!
Before entering his position, the etiquette and music were abrupt, and all the officials stood below in an orderly manner.
On the high platform, footsteps came, and a man stepped on the high platform, the man's eyes were like an eagle falcon, his body was tall, and his dragon robe was added.
It is the current Emperor of Nanqing.
This is the first time three months later that the crown prince Zhao Yue and the second prince Zhao Zhang have seen their father.
Both of them had meaning in their eyes.
Everyone knelt on the ground: "See Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live." ”
"Flat!"
A eunuch took a step forward and shouted at the top of his voice: "Hundreds of officials enter the banquet, and Your Majesty will give wine." ”
Baiguan said again: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Everyone took their seats, and the palace ladies began to serve the imperial wine.
Singing and dancing, a prosperous scene, it's just a surge in the dark, no one can check it.
After a while, the emperor picked up a glass of wine, and the song and dance stopped, and even if the man didn't speak, the whole square was calm: "In the past three months, I have worked hard for the prime minister and the master." ”
The two came out with wine, knelt on the ground and said, "Do your best for Your Majesty, don't dare not be careless." ”
The Emperor nodded, drank the wine down, and the two kneeling below also drank it, and then slowly retreated to their seats.
But the crown prince Zhao Yue had a gloomy face and did not say a word.
In fact, people's minds are really interesting at the end, and at the end of Chen Xi drank himself, looking at Du Qi in the distance and gently raising his glass.
Over there, Du Qi smiled and scolded a stinky boy in his heart.
Chen Xi took a sip of wine, slightly spicy. It's like the emperor's mind. In the eyes of the crown prince, it seems that this empire will be his sooner or later, so he regards everything as his own, and every time something is lost in his hands, his heart aches.
In the emperor's view, all this is his own, and other people's rights are given by him, so others can't have the idea of transgressing the rules, which is a big crime!
In the middle of the venue, as soon as it was vacated, someone stepped on it, and everyone was nervous.
One walked forward gently, then knelt down on one knee and bowed.
The Emperor squinted slightly.
The person who came was Zedong, and Zedong said: "Zedong knocks to see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, Zedong has something to ask Your Majesty." ”
The emperor didn't speak, and Zhao He below couldn't sit still, stood up and said angrily: "Zedong! You are so bold, some things have to be divided into occasions, aren't you really afraid of offending Tianwei?
"Hehe, I haven't opened my mouth yet, He'er, what are you anxious about?"
"The Father's Atonement. ”
"Tell me anything. ”
Zedong's face did not change: "I want to divorce the Ninth Princess!"
"Oh, why?"
"Zedong has not yet been born, his in-laws have been decided, in fact, he can't help himself, the marriage contract made by the parents of each family, Zedong doesn't want to hurt the heart of the ninth princess. ”
"Your marriage with the Ninth Princess was personally promised by me and your grandfather, you know, the Son of Heaven is full of promises. ”
The atmosphere of the square immediately cooled down.
Under the emperor's high platform, there was a thousand stiffs who exchanged guns for swords, and the sword was three points away from the sheath.
Outside the palace, a figure suddenly rose up, and wanted to break into the palace, but a gray-haired old man suddenly appeared in front of the figure, holding the person's shoulder with one hand, and the person could not take a step forward.
The old man pushed lightly, and the figure fell to the ground, turning over a few times before it stabilized, the figure showed its face, and blood oozed from the corners of its mouth: "It's the younger generation who is presumptuous, but the young master of my family must not have an accident." ”
The old man's figure appeared in front of the man in a flash, grabbed the man's neck with one hand and said lightly: "This land is the world of Nanqing. ”
The man was choked, and said in a hoarse voice: "But southern Xinjiang is still southern Xinjiang!"
"That's it, sad first...... The first emperor said that the old slave was not suitable for these things. ”
The old man let go of his hand, and the man fell to the ground, coughing violently on the ground, and when he looked up, the old man was gone.
In the square of the palace, everyone's attention was on Zedong, and no one noticed that an old man appeared behind Du Qi, and the old man whispered to Du Qi's ear: "Tell you that disciple is honest in the end, I owe you a favor, but I have done it for one of your disciples, and you can't let me make another move." ”
Du Qi looked back at the old man and said with a dry smile: "That's, that's!"
The atmosphere in the square dropped to a freezing point, and a woman smiled, got up from her seat, came to Zedong's side, and knelt down side by side with Zedong.
"Father, the emperor will answer Zedong. ”
The emperor's eyes turned soft, and the person who came was the ninth princess Zhao Yuyu, but the emperor still said: "The royal face, how can it be so casual." ”
"My daughter wants to worship the Bingyue River and devote herself to cultivating, and Zedong is also a monk, so can the two of us be bound by a secular marriage contract?"
The emperor smiled and said, "Have you really thought about it?"
Zhao Yuyu nodded, and Zedong frowned lightly on the side, this feeling has changed after all.
The Emperor said, "In that case, I will declare here that this marriage will be annulled." ”
Zedong and Zhao Yuyu kowtowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
The old man behind Du Qi disappeared into the night, as if he had never been there.
"If you're tired, let's have fun. ”
"Driving ......"
Chen Xi looked up, and the emperor was already driving.
After the banquet, they dispersed, Zedong didn't say a word to anyone, and secretly retreated.
A man outside the palace gate waited there quietly, waiting for Zedong to come out, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
hurriedly went over to greet him: "Young master, are you okay?" ”
Zedong shook his head and said, "I'm fine, are the things ready?" I don't want Zhao He to enter the Spirit Realm, I have been pressing this Qi Mansion Realm for many days, and it is time to enter the realm." ”
"Everything is ready. ”
"You're hurt?"
"The subordinates are fine, if the young master is injured, the subordinates will die. ”
Zedong snorted lightly and said, "Next time, I'll see who else can stop me in Qingcheng." ”
"The young master is talented, and if he is willing to cultivate carefully, he will definitely improve by leaps and bounds. ”
Zedong and the man left, but Zedong said too much, I'm afraid that next time I'm here, it's still the same.
The monastic sect has always been above the top, and it must be known that some monastic sects have a longer lifespan than the dynasty, of course, in that middle continent, some sects have survived forever.
But it is also necessary to know that along the way in Nanqing, I don't know how many sects of the horse have stepped on, and many of them have been known as the leaders of Nanqing Cultivation!
Chen Xi walked out of the palace, and Du Qi gently called him and said, "Chen Yang!"
"Sir!"
"Some people say, let you be quiet. ”
"I know what to expect. ”
"Hmm. ”
The two just joined each other and separated.
However, the crown prince Zhao Yue and the second prince Zhao Zhang rarely walked together.
The second prince, Zhao Zhangdao, said: "The thing that the third brother handed over to his father, the prince's brother knows?"
"A silk handkerchief that symbolizes the remnants of the thorn beast?"
"Yes, when I first saw my father today, my father didn't seem to plan to mention it. ”
"It's not necessarily true or false, that group of remnants has long been swept away, maybe someone else is fake. ”
"Is that what Brother Prince's brother thinks?"
Zhao Yue smiled at Zhao Zhang and said, "Then what does the imperial brother think?"
"True or false, my father's anger is close at hand, especially today, Zedong also contradicted his father, I heard that the prince's brother has been quite close to the group of guys in the Southern Xinjiang Alliance recently, and the prince's brother has to be a little prepared. ”
"Brother Huang is too worried, those guys in southern Xinjiang, if the country really has his hands free......"
"Brother Prince, even so, you have to rely on the guys from the Southern Xinjiang Alliance, which is why the court has always maintained a good relationship with the Southern Xinjiang Alliance. ”
"Hmm, the imperial brother seems to be quite concerned about the Southern Xinjiang Alliance. ”
"I've only heard of it. ”
Both sides are smiling and not smiling, so they are separated.
At the morning meeting the next day, Emperor Longting was furious, threw down the handkerchief, and gave an order, whether the thorn beast was a remnant or not, or someone pretending to be a thorn beast, to see people dead or to see corpses!
This dusty secret history, which was deeply involved with southern Xinjiang, has finally been uncovered again.
Countless wizards were executed in southern Xinjiang that year.
Even the Southern Xinjiang League started directly, you must know that the Southern Xinjiang League was infiltrated by the Nanqing royal family, and it depended on the harmony of generations to generation.
The original pacification strategy made the position of the Southern Xinjiang League in southern Xinjiang a little flickering.
