On the 16th of January, Jinling Mansion, the Nineteenth Prince's Mansion. ◢ With * dream * small ◢.1a

The nineteen princes have been troubled a lot recently, and they were summoned by Emperor Song yesterday for the first time, thinking that they were going to stage a scene of affectionate holiday greetings between father and son, but they were inexplicably praised by Emperor Song, and they also rewarded him with two beautiful palace maids, which made the nineteen princes panic.

Since the Nineteenth Prince joined the competition for the crown prince three hundred years ago, Emperor Song rarely summoned him, and even if he did, he never had a good face, most of the time he reprimanded and drove away.

As the saying goes: "Since ancient times, there has been no family affection." ”

This phenomenon is very obvious in the royal family of the Three Kingdoms of China, and there are many advantages for the Xiuzhen family to control the ordinary dynasty, but there is one thing that is recognized by the world as bad, that is, it can last for more than 10,000 years at every turn.

This situation will cause a large number of adult princes to appear in the imperial family, and under the impetus of many years of court atmosphere and ambition, it is inevitable that the prince will covet the throne.

The story of the brothers' rivalry and the father-son enmity in the royal family of the Three Kingdoms of China can be written as a library, so now the Three Kingdoms of China do not have the position of prince, just to cut off the thoughts of the vast majority of princes.

Those princes who had no cultivation potential and only lived for a few decades could not even find tombs for a long time, while a large number of princes with cultivation potential were worn out of patience, and finally lost interest in taking over the throne, devoted themselves to cultivation, and finally became the guardians of the royal family.

Now in the Three Kingdoms of China, when each generation of old emperors abdicates or dies suddenly, the young sons of the old emperors basically take over the throne, because these princes are in the prime of life and are very suitable for taking over the throne.

Therefore, there is a saying in the royal family: it is better to live for a long time if you have high talent and ability.

The current Song Emperor is an outlier, he is the youngest son of the previous Song Emperor, he took over the throne when he was already two thousand years old, immediately after coming to power with thunder to sweep away the opposition within the imperial family, after the world is peaceful, he announced that he will only be the emperor for three thousand years, and then will take the initiative to abdicate, will not repeat the old habits of a thousand years.

This arrangement negates the inheritance method of the young son in charge of the country before, and also awakens the imperial dream in the hearts of many adult princes.

More than 2,000 years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Emperor Song has entered the last millennium term, and all the princes who are qualified to compete for the throne can not sit still, and they strive to express themselves in various fields, hoping to attract the attention of their father and the emperor, and finally be elected as the crown prince.

The nineteen princes are not the youngest sons of the Song Emperor, the Song Emperor has a total of thirty-one princes, and the current strength to compete for the throne is the big, two, three, four, eight, nine, ten, thirteen, fourteen, nineteen princes, a total of ten princes, also known as the Song State Ten Dragons.

The other princes are either dead, or because they are too young to accumulate too decent strength and team, they have lost the qualification to compete for the crown prince.

As the youngest prince among the princes and the prince with a certain strength, the nineteenth prince is actually one of the weakest of all the princes, most of the rich land of the Song Kingdom has been carved up by his nine elder brothers, and it is difficult for him to obtain enough resources and support in those places, so he can only seek development in the barren Yunnan and Guizhou provinces.

After more than 200 years of layout and operation, the nineteenth prince finally accumulated some capital in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, but unfortunately he entrusted no one, and in just ten years, some of the capital he accumulated was almost destroyed.

Forced to be helpless, he was a little angry or out of the idea of self-abandonment, and randomly selected a spokesperson from Yundian Province, that is, Xuanji of the Xuanji faction.

Originally, this was just an unintentional move similar to a prank, but now it seems like a clever trick, but I didn't expect this obscure small sect that has never operated a chamber of commerce to make the cultivation business in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces show signs of resurrection in only two or three months.

And this incident also alarmed the Song Emperor, yesterday the nineteenth prince heard such a meaning from the words of praise from the Song Emperor, so he paid special attention to it, and after he came back, he instructed Wang Zuojun to inquire about the recent movements of the Xuanji faction.

Early this morning, Wang Zuojun waited in the ear room early, preparing to report the situation of the Xuanji faction to the Nineteenth Prince, but this wait was not until the beginning of the year, and Wang Zuojun waited for the summons of the Nineteenth Prince.

The nineteenth prince was wearing only one regular clothes, and was sitting cross-legged on a short couch, holding a white jade bowl and drinking japonica rice porridge, and there were scallion pancakes, five-color cakes and a few side dishes in front of him for breakfast.

After Wang Zuojun entered the door, he hurriedly saluted on one knee, and the nineteenth prince raised the chopsticks in his hand, meaning that he would stand up and reply.

Wang Zuojun got up and asked, "Nineteenth Master, don't you have the habit of getting up early and exercising in the morning? Why do you get up so late today? Do you feel any discomfort?"

The nineteenth prince picked up two small pickles with chopsticks and put them in the bowl, and said with a smile: "There is no discomfort, I am lonely and healthy, I was very happy last night, and I was crazy, so I got up late." ”

Wang Zuojun immediately understood, lowered his voice and said, "The Nineteenth Master took the two female officials in the palace who were given by the emperor yesterday?"

The nineteenth prince drank the last bit of rice porridge in the bowl, put down the dishes and chopsticks, clapped his hands, and immediately a beautiful maid came into the house and removed the dishes and chopsticks on the table and the rest of the breakfast.

The Nineteenth Prince patted his stomach with satisfaction and said, "In order to reassure the old man, Gu can only work hard last night, otherwise if this pair of beauties is put for a few days, his old man will think that I am not satisfied with such a reward." ”

Wang Zuojun was not good at commenting on the father-son relationship of the nineteenth prince, so he could only laugh dryly twice and did not answer.

The Nineteenth Prince looked at Wang Zuojun's expression, felt a little bored, and said, "Zuojun, yesterday you asked you to collect the latest situation of the Xuanji Sect, how did you collect it?"

Wang Zuojun hurriedly took out a small notebook from his sleeve cage and said: "Nineteenth master, this Xuanji is really a character, the Xuanji faction has done many things incredible, but the effect is extremely good, I will pick up some important things to report to you first." ”

The Nineteenth Prince said: "Okay, it seems that there are really a lot of things about Xuanjizi and Xuanjizi! You, Wang Zuojun, are known for his good memory, and he even wrote it down in a notebook. ”

Wang Zuojun said: "Okay, let's start from yesterday. Yesterday was the day when the Imperial Family Cultivation Alliance of Yunnan and Guizhou Provinces held a foundation building conference, and Xuanjizi's little apprentice Tianhuo won the championship of this foundation building conference. ”

The Nineteenth Prince stood up suddenly: "What? In other words, some of the monks of our department can enter the Taiyi Academy to study?"

Wang Zuojun said: "Yes, Nineteenth Master, and there is more than one person. ”

The Nineteenth Prince hurriedly said, "How can you say this? Could it be that more than one disciple of the Xuanji Sect has entered the top seven of the Foundation Building Conference?"

Wang Zuojun said: "The situation is like this, before the foundation building conference, Xuanjizi secretly gathered four yellow-level sects to form the Northern Yunnan Alliance, all of which are small sects that develop with the help of the line of the Nineteenth Master, so they are indirectly regarded as our people."

These four disciples of the yellow-level sect also performed well in this conference, three of them entered the top seven of the foundation building conference, and the other disciple was not shortlisted for the top seven of the conference, but because of his natural talent for pupil art, he was recommended by the Yundian Provincial Daolu Division to learn the secret method of pupil art at the general altar of the Daluo faction. ”

The Nineteenth Prince jumped out of bed, walked around on the woolen carpet barefoot, and said excitedly: "So, this time there are four of us who have entered the Taiyi Academy, and one person who has entered the Great Luo Sect General Altar. ”

Wang Zuojun said: "It can be said that the four new sects in the Northern Yunnan Alliance have not really been loyal to us, and if they are indirectly controlled through the Xuanji faction, I am afraid that the control in the future will not be enough." ”

The Nineteenth Prince hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, this matter is very important, we must let those four sects know that this king is also paying attention to them, so that we can really control them!"

This Xuanjizi is too powerful, and it took two hundred years to stuff people into the Taiyi Academy and the Daluo Sect, but I didn't expect him to do it easily.

Quickly, draw up an edict to exempt the Xuanji faction from handing over its share for three years, fully support the development of the Xuanji Chamber of Commerce, and at the same time give certain rewards and encouragement to the four new yellow-level sects.

Lone wants to let the entire Northern Yunnan League know that they do things for the king wholeheartedly, as long as they don't live up to Lonely, Lone will live up to them!

By the way, there are also those five disciples, who also need to be rewarded heavily, you quickly go and draw up a charter for me to see, if it is appropriate, I will notify Li Cheng to handle this matter tomorrow. ”

Wang Zuojun rarely saw the Nineteenth Prince so excited, and couldn't help but ask: "Nineteenth Master, then don't you listen to other things of the Xuanji Sect today?"

The Nineteenth Prince said, "Go quickly, go quickly! This matter is important, and as for their other deeds, I will hear about them another day." ”

Wang Zuojun hurriedly took the order and left, but the nineteenth prince clapped his palms excitedly, and couldn't help but enter the back bedroom again, and the exclamations of two women soon came from inside.

......

On the same day, Jinling, Imperial City, Funing Palace, Dongnuan Pavilion.

Emperor Song had just finished the morning court, because there were too many affairs in the court today, and it was past noon when everything was dealt with, Emperor Song was a little tired and had no appetite, so he did not pass the meal, leaned on a short couch and closed his eyes to rest.

There was a very soft sound of footsteps, and Emperor Song didn't need to open his eyes to know that it was Wang Jien, the head of the inner court, who was coming, and the others didn't dare to come to Funing Hall to disturb him at this time.

Wang Jien tiptoed to the palace, saw that Emperor Song was sleeping, did not dare to disturb, but gently put down the cotton curtain between the front and back rooms, and added a few pieces of silver beast charcoal to the charcoal basin in the house, and then replaced the burned sandalwood in the copper crane incense burner, replaced it with a new ambergris cake, and lit it.

After doing these things, Wang Jien quietly came to the low couch, knelt down, and waited motionlessly for Emperor Song to wake up from his lunch break.

Emperor Song closed his eyes and pretended to sleep for a while, and suddenly asked, "What was the result of the foundation building conference in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces yesterday?"

Wang Jien knew that Emperor Song was not asleep, but he didn't want to speak, so he was highly concentrated, and when he heard Emperor Song's question, he immediately replied: "Report to the emperor, the results of the foundation building conference of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces yesterday came out, and the Tianhuo players of the Xuanji faction won the first place in the conference. ”

Emperor Song opened his eyes suddenly, looked at Wang Jien and said, "Oh, isn't the Heavenly Dao Sect a disciple of the 11th layer of the famous Qi Cultivation Sect? Could it be that he lost the game yesterday." ”

Wang Jien said: "This slave doesn't know, according to the urgent letter reported by the Yundian Provincial Daolu Division yesterday, the Xuanji Sect Tianhuo won the first place with an absolute advantage, and obtained the tears of the merman and the fresh corpse of the merman in the secret realm. ”

Emperor Song turned over and sat up, the information he had obtained was much more detailed than that of the Nineteenth Prince's Mansion, and he said curiously, "Is this Heavenly Fire so powerful? Could it be that he has already reached the twelfth layer of Qi cultivation?" Or is it because of his luck?"

Wang Jien said: "In addition, according to the order of the Yundian Daolu Division, Qingquan reported that the Xuanji faction and the four yellow-level sects secretly formed an alliance to form a Northern Yunnan Alliance, with the help of Tianhuo, four of the five disciples of the Northern Yunnan Alliance broke into the top seven, and the remaining one was recommended by the Yundian Provincial Daolu Division to learn the pupil technique at the general altar of the Daluo faction.

Qingquan also suspected that Tianhuo had reached the realm of the twelfth layer of Qi training, and he definitely had luck, hoping that the imperial court would pay more attention to Tianhuo. ”

Emperor Song pondered for a moment and said: "This is really unexpected, I suspect that this Xuanji Sect is not so simple, there have been continuous manifestations of the power of the Heavenly Dao near Xuanji Mountain before, and there has been no evidence, I suspect that it is related to this Heavenly Fire."

You inform Jing'an Si Tong Meng and Daolu Si Qingquan and ask them to pay more attention to and infiltrate the Xuanji faction, especially Xuanji Zi and Tianhuo! I am now more and more interested in this small sect. ”

......

The people of the Northern Yunnan Alliance were on their way back at this time, and in order to save time, all the disciples below the Qi refining period were taken by their own masters to fly.

Tianhuo sat on the jade net bottle that had become larger, and suddenly felt a little itchy in his nose, and sneezed a few times, Xuanjizi couldn't help but turn around and ask: "Tianhuo, what's wrong with you, you always sneeze today, is it because of the wind cold?"

Tianhuo shook his head, his eyes drifted to the east, which was the direction where the capital of the Song Kingdom was located, and he said in a deep voice: "It shouldn't be a cold, I feel that the wind is blowing from the east!"
