Chapter 15: The Sacrifice of the Son of Heaven, the 'Night Wandering God' (Part II)
After the officials of the military department and the criminal department arrived at the bow of the ship, they carefully investigated the assassination of Qiantai. However, the final result of this matter was still deducted from the river demon.
But in the confession of the soldiers of the Yulin Army, there is something strange. First, he saw that the clothes of Li Daoyuan of the Li family in the river had turned into water again, and then Li Daoyuan walked out of the cabin, insisting that it was the river demon or his accomplices who had escaped the night before to create alibi evidence. And Qiantai also has strange things about his words and deeds, so there is a little strangeness in this matter.
The night was quiet, and the dragon ship and several warships around it were heavily guarded, and the gloomy atmosphere was hidden. The unrest of the days in a row makes this trip of Mount Tai cruising the world imply a bit of unrest.
"Brother Chaoyang, you said that the dragon boat has just left Beijing, and there have been two disasters on the ship, and this trip to Mount Tai is afraid that it will not be smooth, is it true that the royal family is going to decline, and humanity is no longer in Dajin?"
"Your Majesty. Wang Chaoyang said: "Human will is the will of heaven, and what the people of the Great Jin Dynasty think now is the rise and fall of the world, which is the rule." ”
Wang Chaoyang's words were sharp, but the meaning was clearly expressed. It's not that humanity is no longer great, but the voice of the people of the world is the natural reincarnation of the rise and fall of the world.
"You. "Wang Chaoyang, you are a great Confucian in the dynasty, I want to sit on this throne, what about you?"
Wang Chaoyang admonished: "The second emperor of the Qin Dynasty died, all because the king of Qin swept away Liuhe and coveted the path of immortal immortal life, and his greed was insufficient to suffer a humane backlash. If Your Majesty really wants to act, it will only be extinguished, and it will be in the blink of an eye. ”
Qian Gaozong was so angry that he held his breath when he heard this, but he couldn't say anything when he looked at the calm mind of the great Confucian in front of him.
Only after a while, Qiangaozong said slowly: "'10,000 years ago, there was the King of Qin, Jinjia Mountain from the west', even the male soldiers of this Jinjia Mountain, but they can't withstand the Li people of this sea of water, humanity is like a knife, public opinion is like a rule, and even the imperial dynasty will fall."
"Your Majesty cherishes, and considers the life of the people of Li for the nine hundred years of the Great Jin Dynasty, there is no eternal life in this world, but there are deeds to remember. Wang Chaoyang bowed down and admonished again, persuading the emperor not to hurt his spirits.
Suck~!Qian Gaozong took a breath, snorted, and sat down at the table on the table. waved his hand again to let Wang Chaoyang and the Taibao Qianzhengyuan beside Wang Chaoyang sit down. "This Li people naturally have their future masters in various states to take care of slowly. ”
He asked Qian Zhengyuan again: "Brother Zhengyuan, what do you think of the events of the past few days?"
"Your Majesty, the catastrophe is about to start, but the Great Jin is at the moment when I have to make a choice, as the patriarch of the Qian, I naturally think that as long as my Qianzu can pass through peacefully in the troubled times, this time Mount Tai, just the autumn wind sweeps the leaves, who blocks my royal family to worship Mount Tai, just kill! Anyway, in the future, when the troubled times come, I am afraid that there will be no more My Dajin. ”
"My royal family is also a family of honor. Qiangaozong just replied to Taibao like this, I don't know whether it was emotion or sarcasm, anyway, it was the bane of the Great Jin Dynasty that was very dissatisfied. But asked: "But this matter still needs to be investigated, is it the dragon boat attacked by the river demon instructed by Gongsun Ba, and who assassinated my nineteenth emperor!" "Also, since my Qian'er clan is going to transition to a catastrophe, then Tai'er is also quite extraordinary, so the support of the clan is indispensable, this time Tai'er was assassinated, what kind of funding can the clan have?"
"Naturally, the Zongren Mansion has always taken good care of the outstanding children of the Qian's clan, and I have already sent the clansmen to send the elixir to Tai'er, and sent two Qianlong Guards to give Tai'er in the future. ”
"Well, then I, the father and emperor, will thank you for your uncle. ”
"Weichen Qianzhengyuan didn't dare. ”
"Send someone to send a few bottles of the 'pill' sent by Taiyizong a few days ago, since this Great Jin Dynasty is really going to fall, leave more things for the princes, you can't let the clan bring them to Yizhou, it's hard to say whether it's my Qian's things in the future, these should belong to them." Qiangaozong said again.
"Yes, Your Majesty. (Your Majesty's love for the son is deep.) Qian Zhengyuan and Wang Chaoyang both bowed down and withdrew from the courtyard building, leaving Qian Gaozong alone in the room to read the recitals from Shangjing. In recent years, the more it has come to the last moment of the Great Jin Dynasty, the more Qiangaozong wants to do his best, and it seems that he also wants to see if there can be a miracle to make the Great Jin stand up vigorously.
Although Qiantai was assassinated, he was not injured, but Qiantai only stayed in his residence for a day and did not go out. First, Qiantai didn't know how much strength Li Daoyuan had on the ship, and secondly, in order to avoid the turmoil, there was too much limelight on Qiantai these days.
After Qiantai was injured, his eldest brother Qiantaiyi and the third emperor brother Qianyumin brought several brothers to see him that night, all of them showed a deep brotherly affection, carefully inquired about some Qiantai's physical condition, and took care of the younger brother.
Also, Qianming is not here, Qiantai, a seven-year-old child, is really the youngest child among all the brothers.
Among these people, some people saw the two black-clothed servants in Qiantai's room, but they never appeared by Qiantai's side on weekdays. These princes saw that it was the dead soldier Qianlong Wei who had been passed down from the ancestor in the clan, and some people were jealous and some were happy in their hearts.
The jealous ones are nothing more than taking a fancy to Qianlongwei's martial arts, and the happy ones know that this is a signal, which means that the Qian's family has increased their funding for the children of the royal family.
There are also the four princes of the capital who came with several princes, Qiantai's cousin Qianshenzong of the Qianclan, Kong Bi of the Confucian family, Yuan Shao of the Yuan family, and Li Daoyuan of the Li family. In fact, these four people are also here because of the power behind them.
The seven or eight princes who visited him that night left, and Li Tongzhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, also came to see him and invited him to stay at his residence, but Qiantai did not agree. said: "With the clan's 'Qianlong Guard' as a guard, there is no danger in Taiding. "I don't want to hide behind a courtier. Li Tongzhi didn't say much, and then asked about some things during the day, and then said that he had something to do and left.
The next day, the dragon boat walked out of the deserted place in the west of Yuzhou and gradually entered the territory of Yuzhou.
In the past two days, the emperor has never come to see Qiantai, but just sent someone to send a bottle of Taiyizong's elixir 'Pure Yang Dan' to comfort Qiantai.
Qiantai himself was happy to be clean in the room, although His Majesty did not come to see him, the nineteenth prince, but the things were sent, and they were also saints. Whether it is the support of the Qianzu clan or the attention of His Majesty, it has greatly improved Qiantai's luck, and the cultivation of the physical body "Wheel of Life and Death" has also accelerated.
As for the rewarded 'Pure Yang Pill', Qiantai carefully inspected it, and felt that this bottle of elixir was transformed by the Yang and Harmony Qi at that time, which was suitable for Qiantai to cultivate a small divine power: 'Liangyi Tongtian Sword Qi Divine Power'. You can also add some demon subduing methods for yourself, and the next time you encounter this Li Daoyuan, you won't be able to resist the enemy with some brute force.
In the afternoon of this day, the emperor discussed with the Taibao, the Confucian King Chaoyang, the Shangshu Li Tongzhi and other ministers of the ship's various departments about Pengcheng's reception of hundreds of officials and children of the family, and the dragon boat was about to arrive in Pengcheng, the county seat of Yuzhou, which is the confluence hub of the two major rivers in Yuzhou, and the transportation is developed.
At the end of the discussion, the emperor proposed that after stopping in Pengcheng, he would go to Beishan to Yizhou. The county guard of Yizhou is an important descendant force of the royal family in the north. His Majesty said: "Dao Yizhou was originally to worship Mount Tai, but now there is another matter, I have to check the Gongsun Ba of Youzhou, Yizhou and Youzhou are connected, and this matter needs to be resolved!"
The dragon boat entered the middle of Yuzhou all the way, since then the river is densely populated, by the people on both sides of the river, the villages and towns are prosperous, the dragon boat finally stayed away from the mountains and wilderness, and met the honor guards of all over the country along the way in Yuzhou.
Passing through various places along the way, many cities along the river are busy, and merchant ships come and go, and the brocade and feather satin are also deliberately 'painted' by officials and families from all over the country.
On June 11, the dragon boat arrived at Pengcheng, the northeastern county seat of Yuzhou, where the Tongtian River and the Mingnan Canal meet, and anchored with Hanyang Prefecture in the river to meet with the ministers of Yuzhou.
In Pengcheng, there is not only Cheng Lianhu, the assassin of Yuzhou, but also hundreds of officials from Yuzhou who come here for pilgrimage. Yuzhou is mainly the power of Confucianism Qufu Academy and Taiyi Taoist Temple, and the hometown of Lu Cheng, the squire of the Yulin Army, is also here.
The princes of the royal family will also meet the younger generation of Yuzhou and the students of Qufu Academy in Pengcheng.
After staying in Yuzhou for five days, the warship chose the auspicious day of June 16 to turn north. The emperor also ordered the priest to meet the Hanwang Temple on Hanyang Prefecture where the two rivers met, and turned north to take Mount Tai in the north of Yizhou.
The Yulin army of the six warships supported each other, and the dragon ships went away, leaving Pengcheng and going to Beijing, and sailing north to Yizhou along the Mingnan Canal.
