Speaking of this, the fourth prince couldn't help but smile and said, "Sister, you're so worried, I don't know who told you about it, but you don't have to worry about it." ”

Yu Hui'er nodded and didn't say anything more.

Next, Yu Hui'er and the others were here to prepare to welcome the holy driver, and Chuanlan ran back to the capital alone.

When the lantern arrived in the capital, he went directly to the Nine Emperors' Mansion as an instructor of the forbidden army to ask to see Sai Qingtian, Sai Qingtian didn't expect the lantern to be so bold, and finally thought about it, and asked the servant to tell the lantern to meet in front of the Demon Cave tonight.

That night, Chuandeng sat in front of the Dharma Cave, closed his eyes and meditated, like a monk who had attained the Tao, and the moon-white robe added a bit of dusty temperament to him.

Sai Qingtian wore a coarse linen robe, stepped on a pair of straw sandals, carried a sword on his back, and walked over shaking his head.

Looking at Sai Qingtian's appearance, he said to Sai Qingtian: "Sai Qingtian, you are bold, Poor Dao thought you didn't dare to come to see me." ”

"The great monk of the lantern, you are joking, when you were in Xingguo Temple before, the mountain people were still afraid of you, but now in the capital, you and I have no backup, why should the mountain people be afraid of you?"

After Sai Qingtian finished speaking, he sat on the ground like this, and then said to the lantern; "You came to find the mountain man, you want to kill the mountain man, but the mountain man wants to persuade you, don't be so impulsive, you should understand that now the sage's mind has not been decided, if you kill me for the sake of the four princes, when the time comes, the nine princes will ascend the throne, and even if you pass the lamp to the world, you will be hunted down by all the people in the world."

"Do you want to say that's all? Sai Qingtian, what you said is good, could it be that the Nine Emperor Princes became a saint, would he let me go because he didn't kill you today? ”

After Chuandeng finished speaking, he took out the chain knife wrapped around his waist, Sai Qingtian still sat there, and said to Chuandeng: "Do you think the Nine Emperors are the kind of person who cares?" At the beginning, Guan Yiwu did not shoot and wound his son Xiaobai, and Xiaobai did not pursue Guan Yiwu's revenge, compared to Xiaobai, it can be said that the Nine Emperors are difficult to remember. The great monk of the lantern, you are a rare master in the world, and you are not only high in martial arts, but also smart and know the secrets of the ghost mansion. After the Nine Emperor Princes ascended the throne, there are many places where they need to rely on you. ”

When Sai Qingtian said this, he stood up, waved his sleeves, patted the dust off his robe, and then left with his back to the lantern.

Seeing the back of Sai Qingtian leaving, Chuandeng didn't dare to make a move.

"This person's Six Yin Gong is about to be completed, you don't do it, but it's a wise choice." Yu Xiao Langjun walked out of the Demon Suppression Cave, looked at the lantern and said.

Chuandeng said respectfully to Yu Xiao Langjun: "There is a labor re-education master who has run this trip for the poor road, but this demon demon, if you don't get rid of it, sooner or later it will be a scourge." ”

"It's not a simple matter to get rid of him, you give this letter to the four princes, and after the four princes read it, they naturally know what to do."

Yu Xiao Langjun took out a letter to pass the lamp, passed the lamp and took it, and left here.

Chuandeng didn't notice that a smile appeared on the corner of Yu Xiao Langjun's mouth when he left.

When Chuanlan returned to the Qingyun enclosure, the emperor and others had not yet arrived, but the princes had already arrived with soldiers and horses, and this time the audience was not a trivial matter.

Due to his identity, he saw the four princes at night, and handed over the letter to the four princes, who opened the letter, frowned slightly, and then said to the lamp: "Have you ever seen what is written on this letter?" ”

"The subordinates don't dare, I don't know what Jin Jiaoxi wrote in the letter?"

"Jin Jiao Xi said that Sai Qingtian's evil skills are powerful, even he is not sure of winning, so let this clan not blame you for not completing the task. You go down first, these days, you still have to pay attention. If you rush to the drive of a certain prince, even the domain will not be able to protect you at that time. ”

The four princes, who have not been vassals, according to the Yu Dynasty etiquette system, have a lower status than the princes. Even if they are vassals, their nominal princes are not as good as the princes who can lead an army.

Chuandeng said yes, and when Chuandeng left, the four princes looked at the content on it again, and then burned the letter, and watched the letter completely turn into ashes, and the four princes sneered.

Soon the four princes especially greeted the princes, as if this had never happened.

The Emperor arrived the next day, and in the afternoon of the same day, the Emperor summoned twenty-two princes in his imperial tent. Nowadays, most of these Guogong are the second generation, and some are the third generation, especially Ping Guogong, who is a young man in his twenties.

"Rank, every time I summon the rank, there will be fewer people, and I feel an inexplicable sadness. Now it's not above the court, and I don't need to look at it like that, I just want to say something heart-wrenching to you. Most of your young people are similar to me, I have grown up with you since I was a child, especially the Duke of the Kingdom of China, I am three years older than you, and the heavens are three years old, when the first emperor was dying, he took the hands of your father Lin Su Mingong, and the auxiliary prince Qingwen Zhenggong, and said to me, these two must be able to settle the world in the future. ”

When the emperor said this, he looked at the Duke of Fuguo and continued: "Later, the second concubine was regent, and Duke Lin Su Min personally sent you to the palace to wronged you, the son, and became my chief of guard. And Qingwen Zhenggong persuaded the Empress Dowager Xiaoyi several times, so he did not let the Wu family be crowned king, which broke Emperor Gao's rules. These two princes, the first to pioneer the country and the first to protect the country, are my right-hand men. ”

The Duke of Guo present did not speak, the hero of the founding of the Yu Dynasty, in addition to Mr. Wang and Han Bai, was the seven-star general Su Lin Zhouqing Zhao Fu Zhang, among which Zhao Jiexuan was defeated in Huaihua, in order to protect Emperor Gao, he died on the battlefield, and the other six were divided into the Duke of Guo.

In terms of credit, the biggest one is Duke Su Wu Mu of Xiangguo, and then Duke Lin Su Min, because Duke Su Wu Mu is on the side of the Empress Dowager Xiaoyi, and the emperor will naturally not list him in front.

The emperor looked at Wei Guogong and Mu Guogong again, and said to them: "Fu Zhongwu Gong and Zhou Zhongjing Gong died of illness during the Hongdao period, and later there were two of you to persuade the Empress Dowager Xiaoyi to return to power. This peach and plum is self-explanatory, your credit, others don't know, I know it very well in my heart. ”

When the emperor said this, he coughed a few times and said again: "This time I told you this, but I am already old and can hardly support this society, and I hope that you can support the new saint as you did with me." ”

The princes knelt on the ground and said loudly, "The ministers will do their best to assist the saints." ”

"I know that many of you are related to the nine princes, you have your own plans, I am not ready to blame you, I just hope you can understand that this world is a public weapon, only virtuous people can live in it, if you want to harm the public weapon with selfish desires, sooner or later you will cause trouble."

The emperor gave them some instructions, so that they did not need to be polite, and said to them: "I want to ask you a few things, and I hope you can answer me honestly, what I said today is only known to the twenty-three of us, and the others will never know." ”

After the emperor finished speaking, he asked Jiusi and the others to go out, and after everyone retreated, the emperor said to them: "Do you think the crown prince is a strong and trustworthy person?" ”

These princes who are married to the prince are naturally not easy to speak, and the emperor took a look at the three brothers-in-law of Zhenguo and Xiangguo.

An Guogong attacked the position of An Guogong because his father was a big farmer in the court. He, like the Duke of Peace, is considered a junior in this, and the emperor naturally will not ask his opinion.

"Enlightened sage, the minister thinks that the prince is mediocre and not enough to keep it, and it is really embarrassing." Li Xingyuan, the prince of Zhenguo, had already been explained by his younger brother, and he wholeheartedly supported the four princes, so he naturally did not want the prince to be the emperor.

Xiangguo Gong saw that Zhenguo had spoken openly, so he said: "The prince is incompetent, if there is trouble today, you can't easily entrust the artifact." Now the nine princes have heavy troops in their hands, and if the crown prince ascends the throne, I am afraid it will be difficult to survive the first year. ”

After hearing this, the emperor pondered for a long time, looked at the princes and said, "The position means that the crown prince cannot be re-established?" ”

Dingguo Gong has always been cautious, and when he heard the emperor's words, he seemed to be angry, so he said: "Sage, how about the crown prince in charge of the country this time?" If there is nothing wrong, then the prince is the one who can be administered. There have also been mediocre lords in the past dynasties, as long as there are virtuous ministers to use, treacherous and evil abdicate. The same sea is leveled, and the world is governed. ”

Several Guogong thought to themselves that this Dingguo Gong was worthy of being cautious in his words and deeds, but there was nothing wrong with what he said. The prince is mediocre, this is known to everyone in the world, if they are the prince Shengming, then open their eyes and tell nonsense.

Xianguo Gong also said: "There are clouds in the Taoist scriptures: governing the country is like cooking a small fresh, and the sage hangs down and rules the world." Now the saint has ruled the world and ascended to peace, and all the people are happy. The prince only needs to hang the arch and rule the world. ”

When the emperor heard this, although he felt comfortable, he looked at the princes and said, "If the crown prince ascends the throne, will the nine princes be able to settle in peace of mind?" ”

Everyone was silent again, and finally Zhenguo said publicly: "First of all, the Ten Highnesses will not, and now the Ten Highnesses have 200,000 troops, all of whom are the elite of each army, and can deal with Xirong, and naturally they can also deal with the Heavenly Army. ”

"I'm worried that if they have a fief, it will be more difficult to supervise, and when the time comes, you Aiqing, who will be able to quell the rebellion of the Nine Kingdoms?"

The princes are also silent, many of them are unwilling in their hearts, they still remember what happened to Zhou Yafu, and some of them are still their sons-in-law, when the time comes, if they don't help each other, they will give face to the prince, let alone assist the Son of Heaven.

The Emperor also knew about their considerations, but the Emperor still held on to a bit of luck, hoping that one of them would stand up.
