Save the tragic villain in progress!
Chapter 72 Fighting
The ancients were superstitious.Whenever they encounter a catastrophe, they will open an altar to worship the sky, pray for rain, pray for the sky, pray for the sun and gods, and make offerings continuously throughout the year.It can be seen that there is awe of ghosts and gods in his bones.
On the day Qin Daoyan cut him, the blood spattered three feet, and he said that he would turn into a fierce ghost to haunt him and claim his life.Although Emperor Yan was indifferent on the surface, he heard from the prince that he secretly invited eminent monks to chant sutras in the palace to drive away evil spirits for three full days.
Even if the emperor's father is like this, the king of Jin, as a courtier, is not exempt from customs.He is an out-and-out ancient man, and it is only natural to believe in gods and Buddhas.Especially that day when he was traveling in low clothes, the Taoist priest named Xuan Yeping read the fortune for him and commented on the most secret things in the center.
Fate of the Dragon...
Fate of the Dragon...
This mere four characters made King Jin toss and turn, unable to sleep at night.He has always felt that he is better than the prince, whether it is literary and martial arts, or the way of employing people.But no matter what he has done these years, no matter how good he has done, Emperor Yan has no intention of abolishing the crown prince.
With the passage of time, King Jin's patience has gradually begun to run out.He urgently needs someone to help him determine something, and Xuan Yeping's appearance is just right.
Probably the only one who disagreed was Chu Jiaoping.These days, he has recruited a lot of talents for King Jin. Since the Shuofang Rebellion was put down, he has also secretly contributed to raising the reputation of King Jin among the people.He didn't approve of Jin Wang bringing a quack warlock into the mansion, especially the comment of "the fate of the real dragon", if it spread out, it would definitely cause big trouble.
"Jiao Ping, you have always been cautious, and I know it. It's nothing more than a Taoist priest, and it's okay to raise him in the mansion. If he is a cheater, he will only waste a lot of money, but if he is really a master of Taoism, how can this king put him away?" Get out?"
Sitting behind the desk, King Jin didn't care about Chu Jiaoping's advice.He has been going smoothly for too long, and at the same time has made great contributions in Shuofang, it is inevitable that he has forgotten his usual prudence.
According to the development of the plot of the original book, the prince had already made frequent attacks on King Jin at this time, and King Jin also solved the problems one by one with the assistance of Chu Jiaoping, a think tank, and became more and more watertight.
But now that the plot has changed, not only did the prince not move at all, but he fell silent for the first time.King Jin was in the limelight at the court, and rumors about Yi Chu were spreading wildly.
Hundreds of officials called King Jin a model for the princes, while the common people speculated whether Emperor Yan would re-appoint the prince.There were so many rumors that even Jin Wang himself almost believed it, but there was no movement from above.
Chu Jiaoping always had some inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, and frowned when he heard the words: "Your Highness, how can you believe the Taoist's lies? He is just a swindler with a smooth tongue, and staying by his side will cause harm but no benefit."
King Jin suddenly looked at him when he heard the words, and asked meaningfully: "A lie? The Taoist said that I have the life of a real dragon. Do you also think this is a lie?"
Chu Jiaoping was taken aback when he heard the words, knowing that he had made a mistake: "Jiao Ping didn't mean that. It's just that His Highness has become more and more famous recently, and has attracted the attention of many people. It's better to be careful, why give others a blame."
Jin Wang slowly fell back into the chair, thoughtful: "This king has already checked the details of Xuan Taoist chief, and it is very clean, so you don't have to worry. It's just that this king's business affairs have been handled neatly and beautifully recently, why is the father?" Still refuse to abolish the crown prince?"
After being dormant for many years, he has become impatient.
Chu Jiaoping keenly sensed something was wrong with Emperor Yan, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "It was my mistake. Sometimes it may not be a good thing to get too much limelight. There has been no movement in the East Palace, but it seems that we are getting closer. The next paragraph In time, Your Highness might as well accompany the imperial concubine and empress to worship the Buddha quietly, and it is also a piece of filial piety to spread the word."
King Jin frowned slightly when he heard the words, but he quickly let go, without letting Chu Jiaoping see it: "You mean to let this king follow the example of the prince?"
Chu Jiaoping said: "You can't be hasty in your grand plans. Now that His Highness is in the limelight, it's nothing more than being more patient than anyone else. It's okay to concentrate on recuperating for a while."
King Jin didn't agree with Chu Xinian's opinion of being quiet and dormant, but he didn't show it on his face, and said ambiguously: "Let's see what attitude father has."
After saying that, he stood up and walked in front of Chu Jiaoping, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, looking approachable: "Jiao Ping, this king has you as his right-hand man, so why can't he win against the prince's idiot."
You can say that King Jin is sure of winning, or you can say that he underestimates the enemy and is arrogant.
From the bottom of his heart, Chu Jiaoping didn't want it to be the latter. He smiled and didn't say anything. He lowered his eyes to hide the imperceptible worries in his eyes: "I heard that there was a locust plague in the north, which involved 24 neighboring counties. Your Majesty In a few days, an order will be issued to send people to relieve the disaster, will your Highness agree on this errand?"
The King of Jin let out a sigh of relief: "Relief and food collection is a thankless task. Officials usually spend money like water, but when it comes to critical moments, they start to cry poorly one by one. Those merchants don't even talk about it. This king wants to pick it up, but he is afraid that this hot potato will hurt himself."
He waved his hand slightly: "That's all, don't bring it up again, the king will worship the Buddha in meditation according to your wishes, and you can't accept anything about the disaster relief and food collection. It would be great if you can throw it on the crown prince."
Chu Jiaoping thought for a moment: "This matter is not difficult at all. Find a few servants to submit papers and recommend the prince, and His Majesty should agree. The prince doesn't know that this is difficult, so he might take it himself. ..."
King Jin asked: "Just what?"
Chu Jiaoping frowned slightly: "It's just that someone has to solve the disaster relief matter, otherwise the northern land will be starved and killed, and sooner or later it will spread to the capital."
He was worried about the refugees in the North.
The king of Jin always felt that those who make big things don't care about small things, not to mention a few refugees in the dead zone, who smiled, but still comforted Chu Jiaoping: "It's okay, when the prince takes over this errand and it can't be finished in the end, Royal father will send someone else to clean up the situation."
They settled the matter directly in a few words, so a black pot fell from the sky and fell directly on the prince's head.Emperor Yan saw that many of his ministers submitted papers to recommend the crown prince to prepare food for disaster relief, and the king of Jin was too popular recently, so he really needed to press down, so he agreed to the matter.
"Cheng Hao, I'll leave it to you to raise money and food in Beijing. If this job is done, I will naturally reward you."
The prince stood at the head of the courtiers, keeping his head down, looking indifferent.Emperor Yan probably also felt that this son was really silent recently, so he couldn't help saying a few words of concern: "You are a prince, so you should show the demeanor of a prince of a country, don't pay attention to the rumors and gossips below, I still have the final say in this world. "
He always does.When you see a son floating, you step on it, and when you see a son who is low, you raise your hand.
These words fell into the ears of all the officials, and they all tasted a little different meaning.King Jin stood at the bottom, his face changed imperceptibly.
What does the father mean by this? Did he not intend to abolish the crown prince at all?Or are you warning yourself by beating around?
No matter which of these two results is, it is not good for King Jin.
"My son obeys the order."
Due to many factors, the prince could only bite the bullet and accept this unlucky job.For some reason, he didn't even return to the mansion after receiving the decree, and went directly to the general's mansion.
When Jiuyong saw the prince's visit, he hesitated for a moment, and instead of letting him rush around as usual, he led him to the front hall where the guests were received: "Your Highness, please wait, the general will arrive later."
After saying that, he turned around and went to the inner courtyard to report.
At that time Chu Xinian and Xie Jingyuan had nothing to do, they were playing chess in the room.Xie Jingyuan played fiercely in chess, Chu Xinian was old and scheming, and after several fights, in the end Chu Xinian narrowly defeated his half son.
Xie Jingyuan stared at the chessboard for a long time, and finally realized that it was a dead game, so he simply threw aside the few remaining chess pieces in his hand: "I lost."
Chu Xinian gently waved the chessboard away, and with a little force with his fingertips, he pulled Xie Jingyuan into his arms, and said in a low voice with a smile, "The general surrendered now?"
Xie Jingyuan took advantage of the situation and leaned on his lap, thinking that he was dead, what else could he do if he didn't admit defeat, and he was not the kind of shameless villain who played tricks, so he curled his lips and asked: "Then why didn't you let me give way to the general just now? "
"How did the general know that I didn't let him go?"
Chu Xinian touched his face, always cherishing those injuries, bowed his head and kissed him.Xie Jingyuan hooked his neck with his backhand, and directly deepened the kiss, never knowing what reserve is.
"Well……"
After Chu Xinian was briefly surprised, an imperceptible smile flashed in his deep eyes.He held Xie Jingyuan tighter with his backhand, and fell down on the couch unknowingly during the kiss. The white sleeves accidentally dropped the chess cup, and the black chess pieces were scattered everywhere.
People who are just in love always like to be entangled together, and it can't be avoided if it falls on the two of them.
Chu Xinian's palm fell on Xie Jingyuan's waist, and he rubbed it once and for all, but it was more like some kind of ambiguous and provocative teasing, and his waist softened after a while.
Xie Jingyuan buried his face in his neck, he didn't bother to lift his eyelids: "What time is it?"
Why does Chu Xinian like to do this kind of thing in broad daylight?
"Bai Ri, so what?"
Chu Xinian smiled casually, not paying much attention.Xie Jingyuan's belt was untied with a hook and a twitch with his fingertips, his clothes were half uncovered, and it was the most beautiful scene.
Xie Jingyuan was a little moved by his teasing, and was about to kiss back, but at this moment, Jiuyong's voice suddenly came from outside: "General, His Royal Highness has arrived and is waiting in the front hall."
Chu Xinian paused when he heard the words, and slightly raised his eyebrows.
Xie Jingyuan's answer was straightforward, and he frowned and said, "Let him wait!"
The prince sneaked into the backyard at some point, heard Xie Jingyuan's words, stood outside the door and shouted: "Well, you Xie Jingyuan, you dare to let Gu wait, Gu will punish you for your negligence!"
Chu Xinian was also somewhat indifferent.He pinched Xie Jingyuan's chin, gave a deep kiss, and then said with a slightly confused breath: "Let's go, the prince is still waiting outside."
Xie Jingyuan wrapped his arms around his waist and refused to let go. He said casually: "He has already punished me for negligence. It is a crime to go out, and it is also a crime not to go out. It would be nice to lie down comfortably. Let him wait outside."
Knowing that he was joking, Chu Xinian pulled Xie Jingyuan up from the ground, straightened his clothes, and then opened the door to go out.
The prince stretched his neck and waited. When he saw that they finally came out, he immediately stepped forward and said: "I will go to court today, and my sage ordered Gu to raise money and food to save the refugees in the north. What should I do?"
Xie Jingyuan frowned: "Do you dare to take this kind of hot potato?"
Prince: "I don't want to accept Gu, but the Holy One clearly wants to use Gu to overwhelm King Jin's arrogance. This matter cannot be avoided anyway. Gu came to you today because he wanted to find a way."
Although he was asking Xie Jingyuan when he spoke, his eyes fell on Chu Xinian.
On the day Qin Daoyan cut him, the blood spattered three feet, and he said that he would turn into a fierce ghost to haunt him and claim his life.Although Emperor Yan was indifferent on the surface, he heard from the prince that he secretly invited eminent monks to chant sutras in the palace to drive away evil spirits for three full days.
