Chapter 011: Heavy Smoke

Now it has been more than four months since the day Qingchen was buried, and Xiao Yi has not come to the imperial tomb for more than four months.

The mountains and forests near the imperial tomb are still vast but still desolate, and the endless tombs look at the past, which makes people feel extremely desolate in their hearts, with a sense of helplessness.

Xiao Yat's mood at the moment is like this.

In this imperial mausoleum, his closest relatives and loved ones are buried, but also his greatest hatred and hatred, and the people who lie here, whether they are close friends or bitter enemies during their lifetime, will sleep in the same underground after death.

The death taboo of the first emperor of Ningyue, the sacrifice was prepared by the Ministry of Rites more than a month ago, the scene is complex and magnificent, showing the heart of a filial son of the new emperor of Yongning, and also showing the reverence and love of the courtiers of the Ningyue Kingdom for the first emperor of Ningyue.

"In the second year of Wei Yongning, the year Xinwei, April Gengxushuo, the twenty-fourth day of the Yue Ding Mao, the emperor would like to send the Ministry of Rites Shangshu An Youhe to sacrifice to the first emperor of Taixing and said:

In the past, he was ordered by heaven and earth to be the king one after another; a hundred kings inherited each other, and the eternal dependence will be relied on; he inherited the ancestral teachings and guarded the state; he was ordered to Nantian and passed through the mausoleum; he was ordered to be in the south of the heavens and the tomb; he raised Qianli on behalf of the heavens and the earth, and raised the rope of the well; he inherited it so far, and the people were blessed; he set up his heart for heaven and earth, and established his life for the people, and he did not forget to repay him. Feast!"

A memorial text was read out of the mouth of the ceremonial official, floating in the heaven and earth of the imperial tomb, with a sad atmosphere, lingering.

Whether it is the Ningyue royal family or the civil and military officials, they all stand quietly on the side, listening to the singing and harmony of the ceremonial officials, and recall the picture of the first emperor when he was alive, compared to Xiao Ling, who killed his father and murdered the monarch and plotted to usurp the throne, compared to Xiao Yi, who had just taken over the throne and did not make achievements, the first emperor of Ningyue can be regarded as a great emperor.

The ritual lasted for about two hours, and it was not until all the courtiers and royal families burned incense and bowed to the emperor one by one, bowed down and prayed, and the ritual came to an end.

"Brother Nine Emperors, I want to talk to my father alone and confess to him. After the ceremony, Xiao Ling walked in front of Xiao Yi and spoke.

"Bold, you should call the Holy Lord the Emperor!" Wu You followed Xiao Yi's side, and when he heard Xiao Ling say this, he was the first to open his mouth and scold.

When Xiao Yi heard this, a touch of murderous intent flashed in his eyes that could not be misunderstood, like a villain like Wu You, who can betray his master in exchange for glory and wealth, and can shout at his former master, praise high and low, and see the stitches, if he doesn't deal with it as soon as possible, it will be a disaster to stay by his side sooner or later.

"I'll give you time for a stick of incense. Xiao Yi nodded, said, and with a wave of his hand, the forbidden troops around him scattered in all directions, making way for Xiao Ling.

Xiao Ling's hands and feet were still chained, and he was unable to move, but he walked very firmly, and the sound of clanging lingered in everyone's ears.

Although the courtiers of Ningyue Kingdom didn't want to admit it, they couldn't deny the contributions made by Ye Tingcheng and the Ye family to Xiao Ling's accession to the throne, especially the former queen Ye Tingcheng, if she hadn't taken everything for Xiao Ling back then, Xiao Ling might not have the luck to sit on the dragon chair of Ningyue Country for so long.

Everyone watched Xiao Ling walk step by step towards the mausoleum of the first emperor, watched Xiao Ling kneel in front of the mausoleum of the first emperor, and watched Xiao Ling solemnly kowtow three times.

Xiao Ling's mouth opened and closed, as if he was saying something, but because everyone was too far away from him, they couldn't hear what he was saying, but they saw him with a solemn expression and a solemn face, but they didn't know if he was confessing to the emperor.

"Father, you have never been unfair, because you love Concubine Zhuang, so you left the best everything to the Nine Emperor Brothers, you want me to be born and die on the battlefield, and settle the country but let the Nine Emperor Brothers sit back and enjoy the success, I will not let you get your wish. I bought the palace people to poison your medicine, so what? Concubine Zhuang died, and the Nine Emperor Brothers were in the Heavenly Star Kingdom for ten years, and it was me and the Queen Mother who were by your side, but you turned a blind eye to our mother and son......

"When you were a child, you took the Nine Emperor Brothers with you to teach them personally, but you turned a blind eye to our brothers, you think we are all blind and can't see it? Even if you sent the Nine Emperor Brothers to the Heavenly Star Country, you were also selfish, because you were afraid that he would stay in Kyoto and get involved in the battle between our brothers, so let him stay away from right and wrong, and sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight......

"Why do you secretly give him so much power because you are paving the way for him, you want him to lie dormant in the enemy country, you want him to practice the ability to deal with the burden of humiliation, and you want him to become the master of the Condensing Moon Country......"

"Even Ye Qingcheng, you plan to leave it to him. Ye Tingcheng is such a smart woman, with outstanding ability and unparalleled wisdom, you actually want to leave it to him! You keep Ye Tingcheng by your side, give boundless trust, and even reveal the news of Ye Tingcheng's presence in the Heavenly Star Country to Xiao Yi, and let him try his best to meet Ye Tingcheng by chance......"

"But you didn't expect it, did you? After all, I was the first to ascend, and the Nine Emperor Brothers endured the humiliation, so why shouldn't I? In order to get Ye Chengcheng, I followed her footsteps and ran around the rivers and lakes, and staged a bitter trick at the gate of Ye Mansion on a rainy day, and finally made her fall in love with me wholeheartedly, so ...... Your favorite son, he is still a loser after all, because he can't get Ye Qingcheng's heart. ”

......

Xiao Ling knelt in front of the tomb of the first emperor, and poured out all the words that had been depressed in his heart for a long time, like a surging river, endlessly, because from beginning to end, the son in the heart of the first emperor will always be only Xiao Yi, because the woman in the heart of the first emperor will always be only Concubine Zhuang.

Other women were included in the harem in order to balance the relationship between the court, and other princes and princesses were allowed to appear in order to balance the power of the harem. And the only heir who is really brewing because of love is Xiao Yat.

"But father, wait and see, the road you have worked so hard to pave and the good son you value with all your heart will one day do something that you regret. And I'm ...... This son, whom you have almost never seen before, will definitely make you die under the Nine Springs......"

Xiao Ling said as he turned his head around, his gaze swept around the Imperial Mausoleum, and landed on Xiao Yi's body not far away, and the forbidden army around Xiao Yi was waiting solemnly to prevent an assassin from suddenly appearing.

The time for a stick of incense is almost up......

Xiao Yi didn't know what Xiao Ling said in front of the tomb of the first emperor, but when he saw Xiao Ling raise his head and look around, he knew that what Xiao Ling wanted to say might have been finished.

"Wu You, go and tell the third prince that the time is up, and set off to return to the palace. Xiao Yi opened his mouth lightly and instructed Wu You beside him.

Wu You nodded, took the order to retreat, and walked towards Xiao Ling, but before he took two steps, he saw a loud noise in front of the tomb of the first emperor not far away, and suddenly a burst of white smoke rose from the ground, blocking Xiao Ling's figure and everyone's sight.

"Your Majesty, this ......" Wu You was taken aback, his pace of progress suddenly stopped, he turned his head to look at Xiao Yi, and pointed ahead, a little hesitant.

Xiao Yi obviously also saw this sudden change, and he was shocked, and immediately swept towards the tomb of the first emperor, but when he arrived at the tomb, he saw white smoke, in front of the tomb of the first emperor, where is there still Xiao Ling's shadow?

The courtiers and forbidden soldiers were also stunned by this sudden picture, looking at the bright yellow figure shrouded in white smoke in front of the tomb of the first emperor, a trace of doubt flashed in their hearts, did the three princes disappear out of thin air like this?

"He Yun, mobilize men and horses to surround the Imperial Tomb, block every exit of the Imperial Tomb, and find out Xiao Ling for me. Xiao Yi said to He Yun, the commander of the forbidden army.

When He Yun heard this, he did not hesitate at all, and ordered the forbidden army behind him to block the exit and search for Xiao Ling's whereabouts in a carpet manner.

I don't know how long it took, the white smoke in front of the tomb of the first emperor gradually dissipated, revealing his original face, and everyone saw Xiao Yi standing alone in front of the tomb of the first emperor, frowning, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Your Majesty, it is impossible for the abolished emperor to disappear out of thin air like this, this imperial tomb is strange. Zhao Xu walked to Xiao Yi's side and said so.

"How could I have forgotten that with Xiao Ling's temperament, how could he be allowed to bow down to a prison cell? More than four months of silence are just for today, so that he can have a chance to escape. Xiao Yi said with a sigh.

"My subordinates went to find someone to take a look. Zhao Xu said, "If you can find out where the weirdness of this imperial tomb is, maybe you can catch the abolished emperor back, after all, he has lost all his martial arts, and he has to hide in the east, so it is impossible to go far." ”

Xiao Yi nodded, didn't speak, just turned around, brushed his sleeves and left, leaving this matter to Zhao Xu to deal with.

He never thought that Xiao Ling would take precautions to do something on the tomb of the first emperor, and the time when the first emperor was buried was two years ago, that is to say, Xiao Ling had already thought of all the ways to retreat two years ago, or even earlier.

Even if he doesn't hold the sacrifice of the first emperor this time, Xiao Ling will definitely ask to come to the imperial tomb, as long as Xiao Ling comes to the imperial tomb, as long as Xiao Ling has the opportunity to approach the tomb of the first emperor, then he will be able to escape.

"Go back to the palace. Xiao Yi commanded lightly, then got into the carriage and led the civil and military officials back to the palace one step ahead, leaving He Yun and the forbidden soldiers to stay in the imperial tomb and continue to search for Xiao Ling's whereabouts.

Although Xiao Yi knew that with Xiao Ling's scheming, the chance of being caught again was very slim, although he already had a hunch that Xiao Ling escaped this time, and the world would ...... It will be even more confusing.

At the last moment of leaving the imperial mausoleum, Xiao Yi turned his head slightly, and his eyes swept over the mausoleum of Empress Jingde Mu Qingchen, because the mausoleum belonging to Mu Qingchen was not built, so he buried Mu Qingchen in the mausoleum that originally belonged to Ye Qingcheng.

And it was only at this moment that Xiao Yi gradually understood that he originally wanted to destroy the heart of Ning Yue Kingdom because of Ye Qingcheng, if he was still a little hesitant and wavering at the beginning, then after Mu Qingchen's death, he became extremely firm.

Without her, the world can be fine.
