Chapter 43: The Secret Fight in the Jinluan Palace

On the Jinluan Hall of the Great Shang Palace, Emperor Yi sits on the throne of the emperor, and the ministers stand on the main hall in two columns.

The Jinluan Palace was a place where the Shang kings and their courtiers discussed politics, and some of the larger government affairs of the Great Shang were generally discussed and resolved here.

As the center of a country's politics, it is majestic.

The fine white jade paved ground shines with a warm light, the phoenix spreads its wings on the cornices carved from sandalwood, and the wall panels stacked with jade from floating windows carved from green tiles. The straight pillars are carved with lifelike birds, which are far away from the phoenix on the palace......

Li Jingnai was here for the first time, but he couldn't help but be attracted by the exquisite architecture. It's been a few days since I returned to Chaoge, and today I was summoned by Di Yi. The first time he saw the monarch of Dashang and Shi Niang's father, Li Jing was always a little apprehensive in his heart.

In the past year, Di Yi's health has deteriorated, and he has not been to this Jinluan Palace for a period of time. It is estimated that this time it was because he was alarmed by the tide of the beasts, so he remembered to summon the ministers to the court.

Li Jing looked at the weak old man on the throne, and he could still see his heroic spirit as a human monarch between his eyebrows. But he is already dying, and he is in his last years.

I saw the attendant next to Di Yi shouting sharply: "If there is something to start, there is nothing to retreat." ”

Li Jing looked at Zixin as if he wanted to step forward, but he didn't want to be preempted by the veteran Shang Rong who was at the top of the left.

Shang Rong stepped forward, knelt on his knees, and shouted loudly: "The minister has something to play Your Majesty, the old minister heard that His Majesty's beloved daughter Ten Princesses has reached the age of marriage, and he dares to say a happy event to His Majesty." ”

Hearing this, Li Jing had an ominous premonition that the prime minister wanted to say that the mediator was definitely not himself.

"Huang Feibiao, the second son of Marshal Huang, is both civil and military, loyal to the big business, and has always loved the princess in his heart, and he is a good match for the princess. If the two of them can succeed, it will be a great business luck for me, and I hope Your Majesty will decide. ”

Hearing that this object turned out to be Huang Feihu's younger brother, Li Jing hurriedly swept his gaze to Huang Feihu. And Huang Feihu's gaze also happened to be on this side.

I saw him smile bitterly at himself and shake his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Li Jing had a headache, this should be the conspiracy of the second prince again, but now he can only do this and watch, and he can't do anything. It's really that he doesn't have the qualifications to speak in this Jinluan Palace, and he has no reason. At present, he can only wait and see, Li Jing looked at Zixin's side, hoping that he could stand up and speak for himself.

Of course, Zixin also knew that this matter was not simple at this time, and he just wanted to take a step forward, but was preempted by another person.

I saw that Wen Zhong stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the minister does not agree with the Prime Minister's family business. The minister has a little friend, surnamed Li Mingjing, and the tenth princess is a childhood sweetheart, the two have long been in love, I think the two of them are more suitable. ”

Seeing such a situation, Li Jing secretly said that Wen Zhong was righteous and could offend the prime minister for himself without hesitation.

Of course, the reason why Wen Zhong supported Li Jing was not only because Li Jing had a more appetite for him, but also because his mentor, Our Lady of Jin Ling, told him to take good care of Li Jing and not let Li Jing be wronged, and he didn't dare to disobey.

And the second prince in the crowd, seeing this situation, is very different. He didn't expect that Li Jing's status in Wen Zhong's heart would be so important that he helped Li Jing say good things without even thinking about it.

And at this time, the eldest prince also came out.

"The seventh generation of Huang Feibiao's family is loyal and good, and his father, General Huang, is also a well-known old marshal in the town, and even he himself has made many military exploits. And Li Jing is just a person who has not yet succeeded in seeking the Tao, has not yet entered the Immortal Dao Qi Refining, and is only the son of an ordinary official, and at the same time does not have any official position, how can this person be compared with Huang Feibiao. ”

"The eldest brother's words are wrong, although Li Jing failed to cultivate the Tao and his parents died early, but his teacher is extraordinary. It is a true person in Jiuding Mountain, a master of Taoism, and has reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal. As for Li Jing's ability, as far as I know, Li Jing is not only familiar with military books, but also proficient in the way of managing the army. His archery skills are superb, and his halberd method is also extremely powerful, and his strength will never be worse than Huang Feibiao. As for the official position, it is not bothered by the eldest brother, his military merits are enough to be the position of the chief soldier. ”

"It's Huang Feibiao, but I don't think it's appropriate. First, as early as a few years ago, he began to pursue Shi Niang, but there was no result, which shows that Shi Niang does not feel for him. Second, Huang Feibiao is a mortal, but Shi Niang is already an earth immortal cultivator, which is the most inappropriate party. ”

For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the Jinluan Palace, and the strength of the two sides had their own reasons, and the two sides were deadlocked. And the ministers are also asking who this Li Jing, who is valued by the tenth princess and the third prince.

Seeing that it was such a scene, Li Jing's hanging heart gradually relaxed.

For Li Jing, as long as Di Yi did not announce the marriage in public, the matter was not serious. What he has a headache for is that Di Yi directly announces the result, in that case, he and Shi Niang have no other choice but to resist the decree and disrespect, and their own plan to cultivate the gods will not be able to be implemented.

And at this moment, on the main hall, the heaviest and most helpless person was the second prince, he didn't expect Wen Zhong to have such a clear attitude to support Li Jing.

Looking at his father, who has not issued any will so far, Wei Ziyan knows that he and his eldest brother may have lost this battle for succession. In the end, his father chose the third brother and chose Zi Xin, who was supported by 80% of the army.

Although his father does not have any substantive expression now, the absence of any expression means that he no longer supports his eldest brother. Because the reason why the eldest brother has been able to compete with Zi Xin, and even suppress him, is because his father has always stood behind. The eldest brother's decision-making can be said to have been supported by the father. And now at this critical moment, when he is competing with Zi Xin, his father is indeed silent. Those ministers in the court may have understood the meaning of their father quite clearly at this moment, and maybe someone may propose to set up the East Palace at the next court meeting.

Wei Ziyan sighed secretly in his heart, maybe his temptation was too much this time, but the feeling of being a test stone was indeed very uncomfortable. I don't want to be a pawn, I don't want to work an ethereal goal.

Thinking of this, the second prince's heart was much lighter and more comfortable.

But he kept his head down, and he didn't notice the look in Di Yi's eyes looking at him, that kind of disappointed look. This time, Wei Ziyan pretended to be clever and tested Emperor Yi, but he also completely surrendered the throne.

The ministers have not debated this matter, but Di Yi's body cannot go through such a long wait. can only announce the withdrawal of the dynasty first, as for the marriage of the tenth princess, Di Yi still did not give a will.
