Chapter 48: Hua Ting Tries Ambition

That night, the twentieth prince Qianming came to Qiantai and brought news to Qiantai. It is said that the Confucian scholars of the Eighteen Imperial Sisters of the Tongwen Pavilion discussed, saying that the nineteenth prince is too virtuous and famous, and he is afraid that this time Tianque Zhenren will visit Beijing again, which will definitely arouse the taboo of Tianque Zhenren.

This is a comment on the current situation of Qiantai, but it is indeed bad news, although it is not true, it is enough to explain some problems.

Qiantai led people to the Taoist courtyard to investigate, and sure enough, in the mouths of several Taoist children, it was confirmed that Tianque Zhenren entered the palace today for the nineteen princes, but specifically, these Taoist children also don't know.

Qianming asked Qiantai if he had any plans, and he was full of worries about Qiantai. Born in the royal family is like this, as long as you provoke people to be taboo, it is likely that you will be ruthlessly attacked tomorrow. And Qiantai said angrily: Tianque Zhenren Fang is the scourge of my Great Jin, which has appeared several times, always harming the country and others. For people like Tianque Zhenren who chase dragon energy, but don't care about the people in the world, they are ridiculed and called 'false Taoists'.

Helpless, Qiantai was just like in the past, reading and writing in Jingzhao Mansion, calming down and waiting for the situation to change.

Three days later, the eunuch Cao in the palace summoned Qiantai to the imperial garden.

In the past three days, the guards in the palace and the emperor's brother Qianming have made inquiries in many ways, but they still haven't asked about the conspiracy of the real person that day. Today, Eunuch Cao announced the decree, and Qiantai knew that it was finally here.

Invite Eunuch Cao to the living room to stay for a while, and Qiantai went to the inner room to prepare. The guard Qianzhige gave Cao Jinghang and Eunuch Cao some pearls, and asked why the emperor recruited His Royal Highness, but Eunuch Cao, who was usually friendly to Qiantai, didn't want to say much today, only said that it should be the emperor who remembered the nineteen princes, probably wanting to recruit him into the palace to talk.

Qiantai, who was waiting for news in the inner room, was calm after listening to Eunuch Cao's story, but walked out of the inner room with a trace of disbelief in his eyes.

As soon as he walked out of the inner room, Qiantai turned around and asked Qianzhige to inform Qianming, and let him go to the Imperial Garden to find him on the grounds of urgency. Because of Cao Jinghang's words, Qiantai suddenly guessed that this time his father and emperor were probably going to test him verbally, and then there were twenty emperors looking for him at the third watch, and if it was not good, Qiantai would also use the excuse to get out.

In the Imperial Garden, the moon and stars are scarce, and there is not even a sound of insects chirping around.

Qiantai followed Eunuch Cao to the 'Hua Pavilion' next to Mingyue Lake in the east of the Imperial Garden, and Eunuch Cao said: "Your Highness stay away, Your Majesty is still in the study at this time to correct the folds, and you will come later." Qiantai nodded, and Eunuch Cao turned around and retreated.

Qiantai stood in the pavilion, looking at the crescent moon in the distance, the aura around him was solidified, and there was nothing in the emptiness. But Qiantai's contemplation and careful observation, and the aura of the abyss is hidden all around, and there are many masters hidden around him.

"I'm afraid that today is really the time of life and death, too one day, you are good at scheming. Qiantai thought slowly in his heart.

After a long time, Eunuch Cao returned, holding a tea tray with his own hands, clustered ...... , the water column poured into the tea cup, "Your Highness, please use tea." Eunuch Cao poured tea for Qiantai, said a word, and stood quietly beside Huating and waited.

Qiantai looked at the tea, picked it up, put it to his lips and took a sip, and put it down again. Said: "Lord Commander can leave if he has something to do, and Tai is waiting here alone." ”

"Your Highness is polite, but our family wants to accompany Your Highness here today. Cao Jinghang said softly, carefully looking at Qiantai's expression.

In the Hua Pavilion, Qiantai is tall and handsome, his face is square and round, his forehead is full, the Jiaolong prince clothes on his body are noble and simple, his back is tied with long hair, and he wears the 'Yitian Sword' in his waist, which is a powerful and graceful prince.

Feeling admired for Qiantai's unchanging face, Cao Jinghang secretly thought in his heart that these nineteen princes were indeed extraordinary people, as Que Zhenren said that day, he was a master with martial arts.

But at this moment, Qiantai's body that was still standing upright and towering just now bowed and trembled slightly, his forehead wrinkled and sweated profusely, and Gonggong Cao looked at it, his face showed doubts, could it be that he had just thought wrong, these nineteen princes were actually afraid in their hearts.

Qiantai's hand trembled, and with a snap, the teacup in his hand fell to the ground and shattered. Qiantai said nervously: "I just thought, Lord Commander, why did my father suddenly recruit me today, it is so strange today, is Tai doing something wrong." As he spoke, his face suddenly turned pale, as if he had just thought of it.

Cao Jinghang hurriedly picked up the broken teacup and poured tea for Qiantai again, Qiantai anxiously walked to the table to take the teacup, and sat carefully on the stone bench.

"Your Highness, don't think about it, Your Majesty may just be a little late, and you will come to see Your Highness later. "Immeasurable Daozun, but the Nineteenth Prince is in the pavilion?" "Pop ......" Qiantai pretended to turn around in a hurry, the tea cup in his hand was not stable, and it fell to the ground and snapped for a while, and Eunuch Cao not only had a trace of complaint on the side of the eunuch. "It's a real person. Qiantai stood up in surprise.

"People outside the world have seen His Highness. ”

But I saw that Tianque Zhenren came from the direction where Eunuch Cao left and returned just now, wearing Ge Qingdao robe, holding a dusty dust, a strong middle-aged man with a black beard, eyes containing glow, and a red face, at first glance, he was a real person with amazing mana.

"The real person is not a real person outside the world, in recent years, he has planned a lot for my Qian, this kind of mind is more like an immortal who saves the world in the red dust, Tai, I have seen a real person. Qiantai stammered and praised, and his demeanor couldn't help but look down on him.

By this time, Qiantai was more and more sure that this must be testing himself tonight. In this way, Qiantai naturally has to hide and be cautious.

The royal family is the most jealous, and Qiantai understands that although he is arrogant, he must also know how to bend and stretch.

When Tianque Zhenren heard this, he frowned, this is not like a good thing, what he planned for the Qianzu is not a good thing.

Tianque said: "Just now in the upper study, I heard the emperor say that His Royal Highness is here at this time, I have always heard a lot of His Royal Highness's virtuous name, today I specially came to see His Highness, I want to take His Highness into my sect to practice, I don't know how His Highness is?"

"Go to the Taiyi Sect to cultivate?" Qiantai exclaimed loudly. It was as if he was shocked that the Taiyi Sect would accept him as a disciple, but he was not moved at all in his heart. It is really like Taiyi Tianque will include himself in the door, and then he will not think about any more opportunities to use this troubled era to restore the cultivation of his previous life.

Tianque Zhenren opened his eyes and stared at Qiantai, and the dust in his hand no longer moved, staring at Qiantai and answering.

"The real person Miao praised, this, this Tai didn't dare to accept it. He also said, "Tai Neng has some things, and they are all relying on the favor of his father, where is there any talent to speak of?" Qiantai refused without saying anything, and said to shirk.

"His Royal Highness is known as the little master of the blue sky, in Shangjing City for the people to avenge grievances, punish the children of evil families, before in Yizhou disaster victims to go to Beijing, I heard that in the disaster victims fell a great reputation, it is said that also know Confucianism Yinling girl, and then when he was young, he was able to kill the rest of the Qianru Shidang and save His Majesty in danger, this one thing, today, among the princes of the dynasty, how many people can compare with His Royal Highness?" Tianque Zhenren smiled and said with a deep meaning.

Then he saw Tianque Zhenren sitting at the stone table, stretched out his hand to invite Qiantai to sit down, and the eunuch Cao on the side made tea again.

"These years .......", Tianque Zhenren slowly said one by one about the unjust cases in Beijing that Qiantai had presided over and interrogated, and some famous good things he had done, one by one, and quietly watched Qiantai's reaction.

After talking for a while, the real person picked up the teacup and took a sip, looking at the twenty princes whose faces were cloudy and uncertain, and who were constantly frightened.

Qiantai quietly pretended to be afraid, holding the teacup in his hand, not saying a word, but secretly looking for a way out in his heart.

Tianque slowly said again: "Your Highness has actually done so much, it is enough to be called a hidden dragon, but it is a pity that he was born at the wrong time." Eunuch Cao on the side narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and he also stared at Qiantai. The teacup that Qiantai was holding tightly in his hand was crushed by Qiantai, and the splashed tea stained the ground, and the immersed atmosphere of the two people on one side was relaxed, and Eunuch Cao's nervous heart was not only pinched, this was the third teacup that was broken tonight.

Qiantai stood up, took a few steps back, and was about to fall into the lake, Qiantai said angrily: "Don't harm me, real people, I've been greedy for some reputation over the years, and I just want to leave a history book, where will there be a hidden dragon, I know that my father is now the most jealous of the prince's heart, how can I knowingly commit it." ”

His Royal Highness was careful, Eunuch Cao on the side said, Qiantai turned around and saw that Mingyue Lake was behind him, and he pretended to be nervous and hurriedly walked away, quite embarrassed.

Only then did Qiantai stabilize his emotions and said, "Real person, I just did something in front of my father and did my duty for the people." I also hope that the real person will not misunderstand, and do not talk about his father. ”

"There are a few people in the world who can do their duty. Tianque asked loudly.

"Today, the Yuan family in Yangzhou, the Lu family in Yuzhou, and the Cao family in Qingzhou. Saying that, Tianque Zhenren glanced at Eunuch Cao, Cao Jinghang hurriedly hooked his head and poured tea, Tianque said: "There is also the surname Liu in the south, and they are all people who are recognized by various sects as hidden dragons. ”

Tianque asked again, "Your Highness, what about you, are you really out of duty?"

Qiantai pretended to be a little timid and did not speak, Tianque eased his tone and said: "Yangzhou Yuan family, is an old minister of several dynasties, when the dynasty is even more influential in the military, and the people of the southern Buddhism are even more deeply connected, occupying Yangzhou as the southeast corner, north by the sea, looking forward to the land of the Central Plains of the Great Jin Dynasty, has become a dragon posture, just waiting for the opportunity, show the majesty. ”

"The Lu family in Yuzhou, with Pengcheng as the road, occupies the land of the Central Plains, and can come out of all directions. The Lu family is also a legendary shipbuilder, and the equipment of the inland naval army of the Great Jin Dynasty has the figure of the Lu family, and I heard that the Lu family has also reached an alliance with the Xue Palace, and the power of the generation in Pengcheng, Yuzhou has been completed, and it is far above the power of your friend Chenghuang God Yandu, occupying the waterway, and this Lu family can also become a hidden dragon. ”

"The Cao family, where Cao Gonggong was born, is also extraordinary, occupying Qingzhou, with Dayin Mountain as a barrier in the north, and the four seas in the east, and the Tongtian River can go upstream, the Cao family lives in Qingzhou, and regards Qingzhou as their ancestral land, which is Qianlong Capital. ”

"Your Highness, whether you have Hidden Dragon Capital or not, how can you compare to these people?" Tianque Zhenren sincerely persuaded.

But Qiantai seemed to really have no ambition to compare with these people, but he was sad for the death of the Great Jin, and wept: "Humanity is not in our clan, and the sky is dead in my Great Jin." Qiantai said sincerely to Tianque: "But the heart of the people in my heart is not false, real people, in fact, I only want to follow a true dragon, can assist in giving me the Great Jin to him, less of the troubled sins of our people, less of the tribulations of the people, there has never been a real person, Your Majesty worried." ”

It makes people sad to smell it, and it makes people cry when it hears it.

"Your Highness is willing to give up your wish and enter my mountain from now on, I will accept Your Highness as a disciple of my own lineage, and in the future, I will subdue demons and eliminate demons, and I will do good for the people, how about it?"

"Entering the mountains and opening up the world is just an escape in the eyes of Tai. Qiantai said, and sincerely persuaded the true people: "In fact, the real person is more like me, and he only loves in the red dust, for the country and the people, why do you have to accept me into the mountain." ”

"Tai is weak and crippled, for the sake of the clan, for the sake of the people of Li, and for the inheritance of the luck of my Great Jin, I only die in this troubled world to repay the disaster of this troubled world. Qiantai said sonorously and powerfully, and he regarded death as home.

But in the eyes of Tianque Zhenren, these nineteen princes are more like stubbornness, and they can't be understood at all.
