Chapter 434: Showdown Eight
Liu Qingyan, who is more and more able to hide his thoughts, smiled slightly, and asked the nineteenth prince what is the basis for such a conclusive assertion that the eldest prince will definitely be able to ascend to the throne?
"Because, I'm here. ”
The Nineteenth Prince, whose tone was extremely confident, had a resolute light shining in his eyes.
Back then, when it was suddenly rumored that the eldest prince's mother and concubine's mother's family, the Taiyuan family surnamed Wang was suspected of killing the first queen, the nineteenth prince almost rushed to the crown with a sword and rushed to destroy the Wang family.
However, in his later careful investigation, he learned that although the five surnamed Wang clans had money and power, they did not have the courage to move the first queen.
And the first queen is smart and alert, she often sees through other people's tricks, and if she wants to do something to her, she has to have two brains longer than ordinary people.
The death of the first queen did not smell of any conspiracy, she was like she was taken away by Lord Yama when her life was at the end of her life, and there was no other reason or reason.
However, this result made the Nineteenth Prince unable to let go of it no matter what, and it was difficult to accept, as if a big stone had been pressed on his heart, making him unable to breathe freely.
As a result, he became unruly, lived a messy life all day, and caused a lot of trouble.
In this regard, his imperial brother Emperor Xuanyuan understood and tolerated it.
Emperor Xuanyuan felt that his younger brother, who had no mother since he was a child, was raised by the former empress.
The sudden death of the first queen is equivalent to the loss of his mother, and his mood can be imagined, so he is extremely tolerant of the nonsense of the nineteenth prince.
But Emperor Xuanyuan didn't know that the feelings of the nineteenth prince for the former queen had changed since a long time ago!
Emperor Xuanyuan and the Nineteenth Prince died suddenly because of the sudden death of the first queen, and they were all in a state of confusion for many years, and no one thought that Emperor Xuanyuan, who was a lot older, would suddenly have to carry out a female draft.
The lord of a country cannot remain chaste for the sake of a beloved woman for the rest of his life, and the Nineteenth Prince expressed his understanding of this.
It's just that he doesn't understand why Emperor Xuanyuan, who has always been sick because of his thoughts of the first queen, suddenly wants to choose a concubine without warning?
Since the death of the first empress, Emperor Xuanyuan has been like a lost soul, rapidly aging at a visible speed, so that the nineteenth prince, who had not entered the palace for a long time, couldn't help but be startled when he saw Emperor Xuanyuan.
At that time, Emperor Xuanyuan's eyes did not have the heroic look of the past at all, and his expression was dull and numb, like an emotionless wood.
Emperor Xuanyuan, who looked like this, said something that made the nineteenth prince very stunned, saying that he would make a selection and fill the harem.
Emperor Xuanyuan unreservedly told the Nineteenth Prince his true idea, that is, after leaving an heir for Dayan Zhou, he would go to the first empress Tuoba Lanyin.
At that time, the nineteenth prince thought that Emperor Xuanyuan couldn't think of going down to accompany the first queen, so he hurriedly persuaded him, but he heard Emperor Xuanyuan say something very incomprehensible.
Emperor Xuanyuan said, the first queen is not a person in this world, she is not completely dead, but her soul has returned to the fairy world.
He wanted to cultivate immortals and asked, go to the fairy world to reunite with the first queen Tuoba Lan because of the broken mirror, and then continue the front edge!
At that time, the nineteenth prince who heard these words felt that his imperial brother Xuanyuan Li must be crazy, lovesick, and his brain was broken.
Regardless of whether Emperor Xuanyuan had a broken brain or not, he did carry out a large-scale selection according to his own ideas, selected more than a dozen young and beautiful women, and announced that the first to give birth to the prince could be crowned a concubine.
As a result, the daughter of the Wang family, who gave birth to the eldest prince, was the first to be crowned a concubine and became the current Wang Guifei.
Then the Meng daughter and the Yu daughter gave birth to the second prince and the third prince for Emperor Xuanyuan, and they were also successfully promoted to the concubine position.
Emperor Xuanyuan has always followed his own promise, and only promoted the concubine to the daughter who gave birth to the prince, even if the girl gave birth to the eldest princess first, and then gave birth to the third princess, but it was only a concubine.
With three princes, Emperor Xuanyuan, who had five princesses, began to no longer step into the harem, but isolated a quiet small courtyard in the west hall of the Taiji Palace, meditating and practicing in it every day, and began his quiet and lonely way of cultivating immortals.
At the beginning of hearing this news, the nineteenth prince felt very speechless, the king of a country wants to become a Taoist priest, what kind of strange news is this!
Although he could understand Emperor Xuanyuan's regret and reluctance to the former Empress Tuoba Lanyin, Xuanyuan's deviant behavior was too absurd and abnormal, and it was not correct!
As a result, the nineteenth prince, who was full of worries about the future of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, frequently entered the palace again to persuade him.
But at that time, Emperor Xuanyuan was determined, and he relied very much on the warlocks who believed in creating a fake elixir for him, so that his body became weaker and weaker, and he was in a trance all day long, and from time to time he said in the blue sky and white day that he saw the first queen standing on the clouds and beckoning to him, and the nineteenth prince, who was so angry that he persuaded him to no avail, killed the warlock who coaxed Emperor Xuanyuan to take the pill.
Worried that Emperor Xuanyuan would blame, the Nineteenth Prince rolled up some furniture and a few beauties overnight and absconded.
It's not so much absconding as traveling.
The nineteen princes in the south of the Yangtze River were very high-profile along the way, and the officials welcomed them, just like the emperor's southern tour, and there was no consciousness of fleeing at all!
Later, Emperor Xuanyuan was discouraged and sent a letter to the Nineteenth Prince, asking him to come back to the capital when he had had enough.
It's just that Xuanyuan's determination to seek the Tao has been deeply rooted in his bones, and a few words of good advice can't change his mind.
He soon networked a group of Jianghu warlocks, including Yimei and Xunhe, two Taoists, who entered the palace together to teach him the method of cultivating immortals and enlightening the Tao.
In desperation, the nineteenth prince could only check this group of people again, and found that the two brothers Yimei and Xunhe Shi among them were really preaching and asking, not only adjusting the nervous confusion caused by Emperor Xuanyuan's consumption of fake pills in the past, but also offering pills refined with precious tonic herbs, which gradually improved Emperor Xuanyuan's weak physique.
Emperor Xuanyuan almost lost half his life because he vomited blood because of eating fake elixir before, although he was conditioned, but it was not as good as before.
However, with Yimei Xunhe and Yimei by their side, their spirits were indeed much better than before, and the nineteenth prince did not rule out the fact that someone preached to Emperor Xuanyuan.
However, the remaining Taoist priests and warlocks who were swaggering and deceiving were all driven out of the capital by the Nineteen Princes.
This also led to the fact that Yimei Xunhe and the two were dominant, and their momentum was scorching, and their arrogance became more and more arrogant.
But as long as the two of them can coax Emperor Xuanyuan to be in a comfortable mood and have a clear head, the Nineteenth Prince will turn a blind eye to the two of them accumulating wealth and hegemony.
Only when the two of them have gone too far, the Nineteenth Prince will beat it at the right time.
The Nineteenth Prince never believed that Emperor Xuanyuan could become an immortal, and he never felt that the departed former queen Tuoba Lan had returned to some immortal realm.
Until, he met Liu Qingyan!
I don't know what kind of bold person actually transported the ice jian containing the corpse to Emperor Xuanyuan, so that the angry Emperor Xuanyuan ordered the nineteenth prince, who happened to join in the fun, to supervise Dali Temple to Lantian County to investigate the case.
The nineteenth prince who went to Lantian County just went to join in the fun with the purpose of touring the mountains and rivers, and by the way, Mu Yirong and Ruicao, a pair of stupid children who were obviously interested in each other, but were holding on, stirred up the water and teased the boring son.
It's just that when he was using Liu Qingyan as a-stirring stick, he heard some words from Liu Qingyan, which suddenly evoked some memories that he carefully treasured in the depths of his heart, and also made the Nineteenth Prince have some thoughts that he himself couldn't quite accept.
