"Could it be that Prime Minister He is talking about the 'Heavenly Worship Ceremony' three days later?"

He Shizhong nodded, "That's right, according to the previous regulations, at the heavenly worship ceremony, His Majesty will choose a prince to salute the heavenly incense, although it is only a stick of incense, but this represents a kind of honor and status, originally this matter was the prince's business, but now the prince has been deposed, so His Royal Highness the second prince must strive for it, as long as he can bow to the sky in front of the civil and military officials, it is equivalent to stepping on the prince's throne!"

"But my father is usually lukewarm to the emperor, will he choose the emperor?" said the second prince with some distress.

"Before the official worship of the heavens, the Temple Sect will select a prince to become a disciple of the Temple Sect, if the second prince can strive to become a disciple of the Temple Sect, then His Majesty will definitely choose you. Prime Minister He said with a serious face.

"What the Prime Minister said makes sense, the Temple Sect has always had a noble status in our Shengtian Dynasty, and my father is also a disciple of his sect, but will my father really give face to the Temple Sect?" the second prince asked.

Prime Minister He had a confident smile on his face: "Your Highness still underestimates the Temple Sect, in the history of the Shengtian Dynasty, most of the princes who became disciples of the Temple Sect eventually became emperors, which means that this time the Temple Sect selected not only disciples, but also the crown prince!

The second prince was a little excited, he only knew that the status of the Temple Sect was high, but he didn't expect it to be so transcendent.

"In terms of cultivation, this emperor is more powerful than several other imperial disciples, and the Temple Sect should make me a disciple. ”

Prime Minister He frowned and said, "Not necessarily, judging from the way disciples were selected in previous sessions, the Temple Sect did not necessarily look at cultivation, and the way they assessed them was strange. ”

"It's not about cultivation, what should the emperor do?" the second prince was very puzzled.

"This subordinate does not know, but the subordinate has received the news that the two disciples in charge of the temple sect have entered the imperial city, and the subordinate can go and communicate with them, and let them try their best to let the second prince join the temple sect in the main hall of worship. He Shizhong touched his chin and said.

"Okay, then there is Prime Minister Lao He, if it can be done, the emperor will never treat the prime minister badly, and if you need anything, just tell the emperor, the emperor will definitely satisfy you!"

"Thank you, Your Highness. ”

......

Inside the Royal Palace.

"Ahem, cough, ahem......" Emperor Qin Zhengjiang kept coughing while reviewing the chapters.

The old eunuch Xue Gonggong took out a pill from the delicate box and said, "Your Majesty, your old illness has recurred again, hurry up and take some elixir." ”

The emperor put down the things in his hand, took a heavy breath and swallowed the Divine Cultivation Pill, which seemed a little better, and then said: "The accumulation of old diseases for many years has brought my body to the brink of collapse, even this heaven-level pill has been slightly stabilized, and I already feel that time is running out." ”

"Your Majesty, it is impossible for the dragon body to collapse. Xue Gonggong said.

The emperor smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "You old fellow will flatter, my own body is not clear to you?" When I was young, I have been fighting everywhere, and there have been no less than a hundred internal injuries, large and small, and I have been able to survive until now thanks to those powerful predecessors of the Temple Sect, but it is a pity that I have not yet realized my grand ambitions, which is really a pity. ”

Father-in-law Xue was silent for a while.

"By the way, which prince do you think I should choose as the prince?" Suddenly, the emperor stared at Gonggong Xue and asked.

Gonggong Xue was stunned for a moment, and said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, there must have been a candidate in my heart. ”

The emperor pointed at Gonggong Xue, "You guy is always so hypocritical, I want your truth, if you don't tell me the truth, I will cut off your head!"

"Your Majesty spares your life, the little one is just shallow in wisdom, and it will not be good if your Majesty is angry, but since Your Majesty wants the old slave to tell the truth, the old slave feels that in fact, the eldest prince is the best candidate for the prince, but now that he has been expelled from the royal family, there is no candidate in the slave and the old slave's heart. Xue Gonggong hurriedly explained.

"Reason. The emperor was not surprised, but asked lightly.

"Although His Royal Highness the Great Prince can't awaken the martial arts, his heart is relatively simple, and he doesn't have any bad intentions, but he is just a little idle, this is just a sign of immaturity, if he teaches it, he will definitely be able to govern the country well. ”

"Simple, hehe......" Emperor Qin Zhengjiang showed a disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth, "From ancient times to the present, the battle between the royal family is simply to be destroyed, this world is the law of the jungle, Qin Shan's failure in the struggle is his incompetence, but what I hate more is fratricide!"

"Your Majesty means ......" Gonggong Xue was a little puzzled.

"The eldest prince is too simple to fight, but the second prince is too vicious, in order to compete for the position of the crown prince, he actually wants to kill the boss, do you think I should do it, directly behead the second prince? Also, do you know why I want to abolish the crown prince? Because he is too weak, I drove him out of the royal family to save his life, if you want to blame him, blame him for the wrong birth!" The emperor said angrily, as the king of a country, in fact, he has been paying attention to his son, and he has seen the small movements of the second prince.

Gonggong Xue naturally understood what the emperor meant, in fact, he also knew, but this is the sorrow of the royal family, fratricide has existed since ancient times.

"By the way, Your Majesty, the slave has received the news, this news may make Your Majesty have a different opinion of the eldest prince, just now the eldest prince went to the General's Mansion to compete with the general's son Ren Yuanhang, and the result was defeated by crushing Ren Yuanhang, that is to say, the eldest prince was unable to awaken the martial arts before, it may be pretended!"

"What? You said that Qin Shan defeated Ren Zhongjun's genius son? How is this possible! I have asked countless masters to check for him, his meridians are completely occluded, and he can't awaken the martial veins at all, let alone cultivate, how can he defeat Ren Yuanhang. The Emperor said in shock.

"The old slave doesn't know what this is all about, this is just the information that the old slave received, and the authenticity needs to be confirmed. "Gonggong Xue is not completely sure, after all, he is facing the emperor, and he does not dare to assert it.

The emperor suddenly came to his senses, touched his chin and said: "If this kid really awakens the martial arts, it means that he has been hiding, such a heart makes me feel shocked, and it is not a problem to be re-established as the crown prince, my time is short, this matter must be confirmed as soon as possible!"

......

Qin Shan, who was in the General's Mansion, didn't know that his affairs in the General's Mansion had reached the emperor's ears.

He is now eating in the General's Mansion, and when he was eating, Ren Yuanhang, who was wearing a bandage on his chest, also appeared, and he specially came to make amends to Qin Shan.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, little brother, I really didn't know Mount Tai just now, please forgive me for the offense, I directly drank this jar of wine to apologize. Ren Yuanhang said to Qin Shan with a large jar of wine with a face full of shame.

"How can one jar of wine work, no matter how much you get ten jars and eight jars. Qin Shan waved his hand and said.

Ren Yuanhang's face changed suddenly, and his eyes were about to fall to the ground.

Ten altars and eight altars, this is the rhythm of drinking death.

Ren Yuanhang gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, the junior brother has dried up the ten jars of wine, as long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't worry about the junior brother." ”
