Chapter 35: Changes in the Southern Imperial Family

Lingzhou has been in the past for thousands of years, the human race is at its peak, and the era of sharing with all families in the past is long gone. Since the time when the human race cultivated immortals at its peak, this immortal has its own unique path.

The path of cultivation is extremely dangerous, and even if most ordinary people have that courage, they are also hindered by the great obstacles of the Dharma Wisdom Root. Therefore, this Lingzhou Immortal Family set the law of mundane things and follow their nature.

Cultivation and mountain tops and valleys, deep dwelling and simplicity, fireworks in ploughing and ploughing, spring planting and autumn harvest. There is no entanglement between the two worlds, but there are many things in the world, and the hearts of people in the world are complicated.

I don't know when the great clans of this world yearn for power, and they also hope that the supernatural powers of the cultivators are vast.

There are so many intelligent people selected from the big clans, for the benefit of the clan, they have begun to devote themselves to cultivation. I hope to conquer this vast land with the power of the path of cultivation and grasp the monstrous authority.

The conquest began, and the lives were destroyed for thousands of years, and finally formed the Qingcang Kingdom in the thirteen states in the north and the southern country in Kyushu in the south. This battle affected the immortals and completely broke the secular partition of the immortal family. From then on, this smooth path of cultivation is no longer just enlightenment and immortality, and soaring into the sky. Rather, there are a variety of excuses.

Since breaking the deadlock, the Southern Kingdom and the Qingcang Kingdom have also successfully joined the Immortal Family Hundred League. There are also many red dust immortals among the mundane.

Even though there are still many immortal sects who uphold the path of immortals, all this is just a luxury for them.

And all this, too, is becoming more and more secular in the display of power between the royal families of the two countries.

The royal family of the southern kingdom, although no one calls them by their surnames anymore, no one will forget that the head of the four major clans in the southern kingdom is the Xia family. This is also the home of the royal family.

A team of heavily armored iron horsemen lined up from the middle gate of Los Angeles, like two black dragons winding into the city. The general in front of his head held high a bright red banner with a big golden letter, Xia!

When all the people in the city saw this, they all avoided it. They are not as good as cultivators, they can sit on an equal footing with the children of the royal family, laugh and make friends. They are the real inferior ones.

After walking a long distance, onlookers on the side of the road whispered that it was the member of the royal family.

A team of honor guards of ceremonies, holding high the flag, entered lightly. Every nine steps should be shouted: "Tianyang Palace, His Royal Highness Honghao returns to the city, and everyone pays homage." ”

The sound was kept in the ears of the people, and those who heard it knelt down one after another. Even some of the monks in the crowd closed their doors.

This is the battle for the children of the royal family in the southern country! Like Xia Yunlei, a person who does not pay attention to details has no other person in this world.

This is the authority of a great nation!

Inside the Imperial Palace, in the Yamazuki Palace.

At this moment, an old slave was kneeling in the middle, whispering the news he had just received.

"Third Highness, Prince Honghao has returned to the city today, and His Majesty has set up a banquet in the evening. Let the minions come and tell Your Highness that you must attend. ”

Xia Yunlei, who was lying on the chair, shook his wine glass and asked, "Are the other ministers participating?"

“....... His Majesty said that this is a family banquet, and this group of ministers will set up a banquet when His Royal Highness returns tomorrow. ”

"Alright, go ahead, I'll leave later. ”

"Yes," the old slave withdrew softly after bowing down.

After the servant who passed the message left, Xia Yunlei sat up lazily and straightened, glanced at the jade wine in the luminous cup, and drank it all with a sigh.

He already knew what the eldest brother was doing when he came back, and he knew what the old man was thinking.

The second brother will only return tomorrow, but he will set up a family banquet today.

This intriguing family life really made him more and more powerless. He has lost much interest in such a home.

Every day is in this circle, how can he not know the purpose of this.

Boom!

The wine glass shattered in response, and the two slaves and maids standing aside were startled by the sound, and they didn't know why the always gentle Third Highness suddenly lost his temper and fell to his knees one after another, not daring to speak.

"If the cup is broken, let's replace it. ”

muttered softly, and the maids in the audience immediately responded, one hurriedly cleaned up the broken wine glass pieces, and the other carefully handed over a new one.

Looking at the new cup, Xia Yunlei seemed to have made up his mind, and he didn't take the cup, and after taking a deep breath, he said loudly: "Change your clothes and go to the banquet." ”

At this time, among the Zheng, Chen, and Zou families outside the city, a family meeting was also urgently launched.

Zheng family, everyone in the main hall.

It was meal time at this moment, but the deacons and elders of the Zheng family were all sitting in front of the hall.

"The eldest prince who has been on the border for many years has returned to the dynasty today, and the pattern of the imperial city may have changed. On the seat, a middle-aged man with a strong and upright voice said in a deep voice.

"I heard that the prince came back this time because he was recalled by His Majesty. Moreover, His Royal Highness Hongyou also received the news this time. We are rushing back, and we didn't know about these things until the prince was about to arrive in Los Angeles, I'm afraid this matter is ...... Your Majesty," said an old man with a white beard and black hair who was on the lower right side of Zheng Yuanshan.

Between the old man's words, there was also a hint of worry, after all, as the three major families affiliated to the royal family. This intelligence network is not weak. But I didn't realize it until the end, and I am afraid that it was really as he said, and I am afraid that His Majesty of the Southern Kingdom did it intentionally.

This kind of signal is the most panicked for everyone, which means that His Majesty has become estranged and suspicious of their Zheng family.

These words also made everyone present nod, I'm afraid that the supreme ruler in the imperial city is going to make some moves?

I'm afraid I don't know who it is.

At this time, when everyone was worried and thinking, Zheng Sinan, who had been standing aside without saying a word, was pushed out by his father Zheng Yuanshan: "Nan'er, you have been smart since you were a child, you will analyze and analyze." ”

Zheng Sinan, who was originally on the side, didn't plan to speak on this occasion, after all, he was a junior, and he couldn't participate in this kind of meeting, but today I don't know what's wrong, my father has to pull him here.

This question also made the rest of the Zheng family members notice that Zheng Sinan, as the only son of the current patriarch, has shown his wisdom roots since he was a child, and it is also a good choice to cultivate spiritual roots.

This has almost been designated as the next successor within the clan, after all, among the younger generation of the Zheng family at this time, Zheng Sinan is the leader in terms of heart and natural talent.

Therefore, the elders in these meetings also acquiesced when they saw that he also participated in this meeting. At this moment, I am also looking forward to what other opinions the future stars of the Zheng family have.

Zheng Sinan, who sighed helplessly, still bowed in the eyes of his father's expectations.

"Actually, Si Nan thinks that this matter may not be His Majesty's intention, I am afraid that it is just the prince's insistence. ”

The first sentence surprised the clan elders present, and they asked one after another, after all, they had always thought that this could hide from their eyes, and I am afraid that it was Your Majesty.

"Actually, a few days ago, we received news that the Guards Cavalry had left the Imperial City. But I didn't care about anything, after all, the drills out of the city were held every month, and this time it was only a few days earlier. ”

"But now we all know it's going to take over. ”

Zheng Sinan said, turned his head and quietly glanced at his father, and saw Zheng Yuanshan smiling and motioning for him to continue. Only then did he turn around and continue.

"If Your Majesty deliberately concealed it, then why didn't you just transfer the escort to the outer city a month in advance to wait, so that it would not be easy to attract attention, but suddenly left the city two days early, which really seemed a bit rushed. ”

Hearing Zheng Sinan's analysis, everyone couldn't stop nodding.

Sinan is reasonable, but why did the prince return to the city in a hurry, and he had to hide his whereabouts. At first, the white-bearded old man of the Zheng family asked.

But this question seemed to make Zheng Sinan, who was standing above, a little embarrassed, glanced at his father behind him, and after getting an affirmative look, he still said his guess.

"It may be that there is an accident in the imperial city, and I am afraid that only the prince knows the news, so he will abandon the border guards and rush back. ”

"What happened?"

Everyone was surprised, although they were courtiers, they still had eyeliner in the imperial city. This is also a means of self-preservation.

But this time, Zheng Sinan hadn't spoken yet, but Zheng Yuanshan, who was seated, spoke first: "Okay, no matter what happens in the imperial city, it's not something we can discuss, this meeting is aimed at making you serious and careful in the future." Wait for a few days when things are clear, and then come back to discuss and dismiss the meeting. ”

In one sentence, he pressed back all the questions that came to everyone's lips, and left quietly with frowns. It seems that this Zheng Yuanshan's status in the Zheng family is very majestic.

After everyone had almost left, Zheng Yuanshan slowly got up and said, "Nan'er, what do you think?" ”

"This ....."

"Okay, it's just our father and son here, if you have any guesses, you can just say it. Seeing that Zheng Sinan was a little hesitant, Zheng Yuanshan smiled and reassured.

Looking at his father's bright eyes, Zheng Sinan still said after thinking about it: "The prince is in such a hurry to return to the court, I'm afraid the situation is really urgent for him." ”

"I only want to get two things that can make the prince so anxious for the time being, first, this Your Majesty...... The body is frightened, but we don't even know about this matter, so this physical illness may be related to the prince. That's why he was the first to know the news, and he could even say that he was ready for it.

And this second, it is a little more complicated, it may be that His Majesty is doing something to make the prince's status unsafe, so he is in a hurry to return to the court. ”

These speculative words are really all against the grain. Either kill the father or depose the crown prince. No wonder Zheng Yuanshan would interrupt Zheng Sinan's words.

But this time in private, it made a lot of sense, which made Zheng Yuanshan's face happy.

This son of his own, although it is true that he is too natural sometimes, is willing to be mediocre. But this thinking and mind are really outstanding among their peers.

patted him on the shoulder vigorously, although his words were very rebellious, but they did let him see Zheng Sinan's ingenuity.

I was about to praise my son a few words, but footsteps sounded outside the hall.

"Master, someone from the Imperial City has arrived. ”

Zheng Yuanshan frowned, and beckoned the servant to bring the envoy of the imperial city.

I saw the servant of the Zheng family leading the old slave who was serving Xia Yunlei in Shanyue Palace and brought him to Zheng Yuanshan.

The old slave bent over, bowed his head, and said without a smile: "Master Zheng"

The etiquette is naturally very good, and I can't find fault with it. Neither humble nor arrogant.

Zheng Yuanshan also recognized this person, waved his hand and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Gonggong Tian, is there any will of His Majesty, or the Third Highness." ”

"Hehehe, there are all of them, Your Majesty sent the old slave to inform the Zheng family master that he would go to the banquet tomorrow evening to participate in the reception banquet of the border generals. ”

"One more thing. As he spoke, the old slave took out a box of sandalwood boxes from his arms, carefully held it in the palm of his hand, and respectfully sent it to Zheng Sinan on the side: "His Royal Highness said that the day before yesterday I had a good chat with Zheng Shizi, and I heard that the prince likes jade, and today I sent the old slave to send a superb jade pendant to the prince to talk about my heart." ”

This sentence made Zheng Sinan stunned, when did he say that he liked jade, and what was he doing?

But then he suddenly realized, and hurriedly took it and bowed: "Thank you for your love." ”

I'm afraid this Xia Yunlei has something to tell him, but it's inconvenient. There are indeed some variables in this imperial city.
