Chapter II. 97. The prince is out of the customs
Turning back to talk about the crown prince Yan Day, who is now being imprisoned by his father in the Yongling Palace, looking at a large number of ancestral tablets and having a headache. Most of these tablets have never even seen them in person, and at most I have only heard them a few times at the ancestor worship ceremony of the clan mansion. But now that he is the crown prince, he has to face these "broken planks" that he has never met for ten days, which is really uncomfortable!
But the prince is the prince after all, and when he was young, he had the name of genius spread all over the three roads in the north, how could he be a mediocre person who could be stumped by the predicament in front of him? He grew up in the palace since he was a child, and since he was appointed as the prince at the age of fourteen, there has been an endless stream of people around him who have come to invite him to be pampered. At this time, the eunuch guarding outside the Yongling Hall was Li Qing's cronies. The jade Ruyi he sent before was "still there", plus some benefits after the promise, naturally there were a few more eunuchs who could ventilate and report the news.
At present, the prince put a few futons together, comfortably cushioned under his body, and fell asleep leisurely in front of the spirit cards of the ancestors of the Yan family.
In the dream, he was in power, and he not only sat on his father's dragon chair, but also commanded thousands of troops to sweep through Northern Yan and Nankang, completing the dream that the three generations of emperors of the Yan family did not complete - to unify the entire Huayu Continent.
He was immersed in the dream of personally driving the expedition and cutting off the head of the puppet emperor of Nankang with his own hands, but he was woken up by a little eunuch. Yan Tian, who was broken by Huangliang's sweet dream, shouted impatiently:
"To die? Touch the king with that dirty hand again, and your head will be moving! ”
Yes, when Yan Yan was canonized as the crown prince, he was also named the king of Feng. Of course, this title is just a transitional title.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, wake up, Your Majesty has come out of the Winter Warm Pavilion. Manager Li said that His Majesty was very likely to come to the Yongling Palace, so he let the servants come back and forth to the prince first! ”
The little eunuch knew the stakes and couldn't be afraid, so he said the key to the matter first.
"What a wit! Waiting for the reward! ”
As soon as Yan Tian heard the word "Your Majesty", his whole heart suddenly became clear. After he casually praised the little eunuch, he began to straighten the crown belt, wanting to make himself look more plump and handsome. But just as his hand touched the bun, he suddenly seemed to wake up to something, and he ripped off the crown of his head, and then rolled desperately on the ground.
This little eunuch saw it in his eyes, and he was also very emotional in his heart:
"This prince's seat is really not so easy to sit on!"
It didn't take long for the dusty prince to stand up and kick the three futons under him to the feet of the little eunuch:
"Take it and hide it first. Wait for Your Majesty to leave and then send it back. In addition, all the eunuchs who were waiting outside were removed, and some leaves were scattered in the courtyard. In addition, the king's decree is that since you are gone, no living person is allowed to appear near the Hall of Eternal Souls! ”
After saying that, he knelt on the cold and hard ground, and the sound of his kneecaps hitting the stone slab echoed in the empty Yongling Palace, and the little eunuch holding the futon couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes. Immediately, Yan Tian gritted his teeth and endured the pain, waved his hand behind him, and began to stare at the tablets of those ancestors and ancestors.
Yan Zhan only took Li Qing with him, and the master and servant walked slowly along the trail in the palace. Yan Hunt's tone was a little tired, and he was talking casually, and he didn't know if he was talking to himself, or if he was asking Li Qing's opinion:
"Yesterday, Li Xiang entered the palace and said something to me. In years, no one had ever said anything like that to me. Strange to say, I actually listened to it. The alliance between the two of them this time is a huge crisis for us in Youbei, but in my heart, it is also a wonderful turning point, and I don't know if I can seize this opportunity......"
Li Qing was very curious when he heard Yan Hunt's somewhat gloomy words. Although Yan Dayqi is emotional, his mind has always been extremely firm, and he has only seen his hysterical appearance for many years. But like this, my heart is like ashes, and I see it for the second time.
But can he, Li Dengyan, be compared to the Heavenly Spirit Vein Martial Artist? Could it be that with just a few words from him, he could have the same power as the Heavenly Spirit Vein Martial Artist? This is simply ridiculous!
However, Li Qing has always been cautious, and before he was unsure of the true intention in Yan Hunt's heart, he always replied with some ambiguous nonsense:
"Although Li Xiangqi is a little biased, he still has real skills......"
If Yan Hunt's attitude towards Li Deng has eased somewhat, then he can use the next half of the sentence to make a fuss; In the same way, if Yan Hunt still has the same attitude towards Li Deng as before, he can also use "partiality" to get by. From this point of view, Li Qing's "anyway" skills are more than one and a half points higher than Liu Banxian.
As he spoke, the master and servant came to the outside of the Hall of Eternal Spirit. Yan Zhan looked up at the plaque of the Eternal Spirit Palace, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"I was a little upset, and I wanted to walk around to relieve the depression in my chest, but I unintentionally came here......"
Li Qing, who was following closely behind Yan Hunt, couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth when he heard his emotion. Yan Hunt opened the door of the Winter Warm Pavilion and walked in the direction of the Eternal Spirit Hall with a clear purpose. Although his steps were extremely slow, he never stopped on the way, and his demeanor was not confused, and now he was obviously doing it for himself.
But after thinking about it, it is still my own business to save the emperor's face. Li Qing hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to push open the courtyard door:
"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, tiger poison does not eat children. Although His Majesty is the Son of Heaven, he is also the biological father of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince after all. This emperor's punishment of the crown prince is the majesty of the country's law and the son of heaven; This father's visit to his son is also a deep love between father and son. Judging from the minions, in fact, there is no contradiction between the two! ”
Li Qing's words, Yan Zhan almost screamed when he heard this! He was tickled, desperately suppressed the rising corners of his mouth, tried his best to maintain the worried appearance between the father and son of the monarch and minister, shook his head and sighed:
"After all, I still can't step through blood and family!"
With a sigh of emotion, he raised his legs and stepped into the gate of the Eternal Spirit Palace. But before he walked a few steps, he was caught by the cold wind of early spring and the falling leaves on the ground, and he saw a shiver in his life. In fact, this is Yan Hunt, who grew up in the deep palace, if it was replaced by Li Deng, he would have already seen the flaw! Now it's early spring, where do the leaves come from?
Yan Zhan desperately suppressed his trembling voice, lowered his throat and asked Li Qing:
"This eternal spirit hall is dedicated to the ancestors of the Heavenly Family, how can it be so dilapidated? Give me a good renovation and check again to see who is derelict in their duties! ”
Li Qing pursed his lips and said in his heart: When did you take care of this? Even the annual tribute to the ancestors is made of wood by craftsmen, and many of them are "heirlooms" left by the previous eunuchs. If you really strictly investigate the trivial things of dereliction of duty and misappropriation of public funds, no one in the entire palace will be able to live except for you!
Without waiting for Li Qing to respond, Yan Zhan personally pushed open the door of the Yongling Palace, and the scene that caught his eye almost made him, the lonely emperor, shed tears.
His eldest son, who used to be smart and beautiful, is now covered with dust, his crown and hair bun are all scattered on the ground, and the whole person seems to be possessed by a mad demon, kneeling on the cold ground and kowtowing incessantly, the voice is of different priorities, and it sounds like it knows that this kowtow person has entered a semi-comatose state that cannot be controlled. Yan Tian, who was covered with his hair and face, was speechless at this time, and there was a hum from his mouth that he couldn't hear the content clearly, as if he hadn't heard of the two people who suddenly broke into the hall.
What parents in the world would not feel distressed when they saw their own flesh and blood like this?
Yan Zhan desperately suppressed his trembling right hand and gently stroked the prince's right shoulder:
"Okay, day, it's good to know it's wrong! Father is also a last resort, you ...... Don't resent your father......"
In the end, Emperor Xuande Yan Hunt, who was in his prime, had a bit of old and decaying in his tone. And the crown prince Yan Tian fell to the ground in a daze under his gentle ride.
"Li Qing! Li Qing! Come and check it out! ”
Li Qing, who was summoned by Yan Hunt, hurriedly ran forward, took a brief probe, and couldn't help but smile in his heart. However, since I have taken the benefits of others, I naturally want the beauty of adults. He immediately frowned, put on a nervous look and said to Yan Zhan:
"Your Majesty, please stand back."
Then he sat on the cold ground, put the "life and death unknown" Yan Tianping on his lap, and reached out to pull up the middle pants under his robe......
I saw that Yan Tian's knees were black and purple at this time, and there were still beads of blood oozing out......
"Li Qing, carry the prince back to the Winter Warm Pavilion. Oh yes! I also have to quickly pass on the imperial doctor, and let Sun Baishu come to me in person! Just go! ”
Yan Tian, who got what he wanted, finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and at the same time, he felt that the expensive price offered by Li Qing was really good and cheap!
