At the moment before Maozheng, nearly 100,000 of the more than 1.5 million people in the city, including filial piety, upright sons, famous talents, filial sons, grain merchants, chaste and martyr women, and village elders, spontaneously went to the streets around the county prince's office. , the best among them went directly to the mansion to pray for the king!
The prince is ill. No one knows whether he has typhoid fever or is dying, but it is already a serious matter.
Although this county king only took office for less than half a year, he defeated millions of coalition troops of the Thirteen Kingdoms and regained the lost territory, or annihilated the captive royal families and nobles of the Ten Kingdoms, as well as a series of good governance thereafter, fighting against rural tyrants and bandits. , official gangsters, tax thieves, they are all applauded and praised.
It is no exaggeration to say that this young prince's ability far exceeds that of his ancestors, and he is even more outstanding in his kindness to the people.
The thinking of the people is very simple. If you keep me fed and not bullied by others, you are a great good person and a good king sent by God.
Therefore, dense crowds crowded the three streets, facing the prince's palace, kneeling down and praying silently.
A large group of typical filial piety, talented scholars, and good ministers in the mansion also knelt down and muttered something.
Just after Maozheng, two hundred great monks from Puzhao Temple outside the city and two hundred Taoist priests from Zhenqingguan also arrived. They sat cross-legged on both sides of the main road, chanting sutras and burning incense.
Then came the most elite of the 10,000 Western Qin Army, veterans with at least ten lives in their hands, who guarded the four directions and prevented the people from trampling on each other. Among them, there were 300 captains, generals and generals above. A thousand iron floating guards, led by Sheng Lingge, entered the mansion.
Honglu Pavilion.
There is a fish pond tens of feet square in the east of the Yingbin Hall. Snow flowers are blooming all around, and weeping willow buds are beginning to sprout. In addition, the water in the pond is rippling, and there is a bit of fragrance in the air. It is a good place to hang out after a meal.
Lijun Sang Shangshu and Zhuang Shisan were sitting by the pond early in the morning, each holding a fishing rod, fishing casually.
He just glanced in the direction of the Prince's Mansion from time to time.
The louder the crowd, the stranger the expressions on the four people's faces.
At this time, Dugu Hongzhi pulled up a green-tailed, red-skinned cat carp, threw it into the bamboo bucket, and then said, "He is eighteen years old this year?"
"It is said that the eldest princess of the Qin State gave birth in July, and it took one day and one night to give birth to a son. Therefore, he was born in July, and he did not turn eighteen until July this year. To be precise, he is only seventeen now."
Li Junsang's black gauze hat and necklace swayed in the wind, and his answers were meticulous and even a little wordy.
Dugu Hongzhi said: "I broke through the seventh peak of Jiuluan Mountain, ransacked the mansions of all the ministers, and on the first day I entered Western Qin, I spoke out about rebellion. This is very consistent with the temperament of a seventeen-year-old child. He has good talent and is impulsive and irritable.
However, it is not something that a child can do to completely destroy a million coalition troops in the Western Regions, kill 650,000 surrendered soldiers, attack and destroy ten countries, and marry six families. At least he has to rectify the entire Western Qin army and officialdom, and completely eliminate the civilian and military generals. To conquer, all parties must work together.
With such skill, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he is a cunning and cunning giant.
It's just...now he's pretending to be ill, obstructing the imperial envoys, and showing a bit of childishness. This person's nature is really weird and hard to figure out. "
"I don't think so."
Hu Jingwei, the young supervisor of the Fengjian Division, narrowed his fat eyes, "This is exactly in line with a child's character. It is undeniable that he has terrible talents. The seventeen-year-old little venerable is a monster!
His talent is terrifying, and his IQ and skills are better than those of his ancestors. So it is normal to occasionally do some shocking things and do some childish things! Therefore, today I pretend to be sick and ask the people and monks to pray for blessings. Although it is a bit childish, I can understand it. This is a normal person. "
"childish?"
Li Junsang stroked his beard noncommittally and said: "Do you know that Jiang Yuqing's memorial, which is full of flattery and loyalty, has been sent to His Majesty's Royal Palace?"
"What's the point of this?" Dugu Hongzhi and Hu Jingwei looked puzzled.
"This memorial is a high-profile memorial, in which the words 'Western Qin is your Majesty's Western Qin, and Yuqing is your Majesty's minister. If you let me die, I will immediately commit suicide to thank the world and give up the military power.' Several sentences have been spread throughout the world. The capital!
With just these words, retreating in order to advance, everyone in the capital was instantly blocked. There were widespread rumors in the capital that the West Qin County King was rebelling and he was destroyed without attack. His majesty and ministers were silenced. The army in front of the palace and the army of Shence were in a dilemma!
How could this be done by a child? This trick is really brilliant! None of the prime ministers regarded him as a child! "
There was a hint of imperceptible disdain in Li Junsang's eyes, the disdain of a civil servant looking down on a professional warrior.
"This..." Hu Jingwei's fat face was a little dull.
This move is indeed brilliant, but what about your tyrannical aura that destroyed ten kingdoms and slaughtered millions? How can you bow your head like this? Isn’t it disappointing?
Dugu Hongzhi was silent for a moment: "So, he has a profound meaning in pretending to be sick this time?"
This time it was Li Junsang's turn to be silent. Where could I go?
Zhuang Shisan, who had been silent on the side and had not even baited the fishhook, suddenly said: "In the Shixian Palace, there is a chess player who uses Zhou Tianxing Dou Shu to play the thirty-six chess game of Jia Ding. It is estimated that this chess player has been playing since Fulong Mountain. The experience has led to a series of hazy handwriting..."
After a pause, "I'm going to fuck you up!"
This is a curse word, and it is not a curse word commonly used by the people of Zhou Dynasty.
Dugu Hongzhi and Hu Jingwei frowned: "This is too scary. Could it be that all his experiences were planned in advance?"
"It's not about the design! It's just that I don't want to suffer, so I take advantage of every opportunity and do whatever I want."
Zhuang Shisan said solemnly: "This can also reflect his inner world. This person is extremely arrogant, extremely proud, has no sense of awe, and has the idea of contempting the people of the world. If he is just an ordinary person, then he is a Crazy, but if he is the eldest grandson of the Jiang family, the commander of an army of 500,000, and an eighteen-year-old little venerable, what do you think?"
Hu Jingwei's face turned pale. This kind of person is still a madman, a super madman who can stir up troubles.
Zhuang Shisan continued: "So, I don't know what kind of disaster this person will cause in the future. He will die this time, and God will not let him live!"
"Gentlemen!"
At this moment, Zhang Guangpu, the meritorious officer of the county prince's palace, hurried over and bowed and saluted: "My prince and prince have invited you!"
"?"
The four of them, Lijunsang, turned to look over together, with a trace of confusion on their faces.
Their preconceived idea was that Jiang Yuqing was pretending to be ill and wasting time and money just to avoid them and avoid pressure from the court. Is there any point in pretending to be sick when you are such a bachelor?
He doesn't think he can hide it from the Great Master Shintoko in person, does he?
What the hell does he mean?
…
"Prince?"
Xiong Zhao took the medicinal soup prepared by his wife Zhe Feiyan and tried to feed it to the king. The king refused, his eyes were red again, and he choked and said: "The king is like this, why do you still need to meet the court envoys?" Are you upset? There are still so many people chanting sutras outside, disturbing the prince's cultivation, and I don't understand!"
Zhe Feiyan, who hurried into the hall, and Cui Yinger, Sai Qingzhu, and Jiang Nuying, who were waiting on the side, also looked puzzled and distressed.
this……
I simply predicted their predictions and guessed their guesses!
The purpose of inviting them to meet was to confirm the authenticity of his critical illness and to dispel their expectation that he was faking it!
I'm so "sick"!
The purpose of asking the common people, monks, and Taoist priests to pray for blessings, and to protect him from an army of 10,000 blood evil spirits who had killed more than ten people was to prevent the masters sent by the imperial court from jumping over the wall and directly assassinating him.
That's right! Thinking on his heels, he also knew that when the Minister of Rites saw him, he would be surrounded by masters from Taiping Palace, Shixian Palace and Fengjian Division who were disguised as ordinary officials to find out about his true identity, or take the opportunity to assassinate or plan an assassination!
It's a child's play routine. I watched eight episodes of cartoons in my previous life in a day.
Therefore, in order to show the truth and increase the bargaining chip for the next meeting, Xin Zhuo took out a silver array, inserted it into the feigned death and deficiency meridian, and said weakly: "The Western Qin Dynasty did not rebel... The imperial officials wanted to What I see... is not for myself... but also for the tens of millions of people in Western Qin..."
"Prince!"
The girls burst into tears again.
Zhe Feiyan was already sitting on the edge of the bed, holding his hand tightly.
Even when a man is about to die, he speaks kind words. Only in the past few days have the ladies fully understood the prince's character!
The prince is unparalleled in the world! Love the people and protect one side!
How to make people disrespectful and unlovable?
It is said that officials and people have quietly prepared a ceremony to worship heaven. Once the prince dies, he will be promoted to a saint!
