Su An and his wife returned to the house at night, dejected.
After telling Tianbao and Bai Yu what he saw on the street in the afternoon, Su Wu said angrily, "I looked for them on Sixth Street and Eighteen Lanes, and those people seemed to have suddenly disappeared out of thin air. I couldn't find them! I'm so exhausted." I’m done!”
Tianbao knows how to talk, "Their kung fu is better than yours."
Su Wu, "..." I want to be the fourth best in the world, Tianbao, are you going to attack your brother like this?
Bai Yu and Tianbao had already had dinner, and they didn't care about the lives of the other three. "It's been a long day of work in vain, tsk tsk. There's still leftover food for me and Tianbao in the kitchen. When we're hungry, we'll go there to fill our stomachs."
The three of them gave him a three-character sutra and rushed to the kitchen.
"Uncle Broken Blade said those are my bastard's people." In the main room, after the three of them left, Bai Yu half-crossed the table and winked at the girl sitting opposite, "Shall we go explore?"
Before the three came back, they had received the news from Uncle Broken Blade. Not only did they know that this bastard's people were coming to Changjing, but they also knew the other party's hiding place.
I just forgot to tell the three people in the kitchen.
Tianbao raised his eyes and met the young man's eyes.
After a while, the two of them disappeared into the main room. The three young men in the kitchen were unaware of it, and they were still punching and kicking each other to grab the food.
In the backyard of a wine shop in Shenxiang, west of the city, several cooks and men dressed as men sat around the woodshed. They did not light the lamp and relied on the weak light coming from outside to see.
"Nangong Ru has been close to the Eighth Prince many times and knows a lot about the Prince's affairs. There is no guarantee that her behavior today was not a deliberate test. We must be extremely careful in what we do next."
"The situation is not favorable to us at the moment. Those wanted boys are in Changjing, and the girl must be nearby too. She wants to avenge the Eighth Prince, but I'm afraid it's not appropriate to take action for the time being."
"It doesn't matter. We have other missions on this trip. We can put the revenge aside for now. We'll have a chance when the envoys arrive in Beijing."
"Next, continue to act according to the plan. Remember to avoid the eyes and ears of those people, lest the master's plan fails!"
On the back wall of the house separated from the two courtyards of the wine shop, two figures stood against the wall, admiring the moonlight and listening to the corner.
After a while, when Tianbao moved, Bai Yu immediately leaned over and stared, "Tianbao, what did you hear? I didn't hear anything."
Tianbao, "..."
I knew I wouldn't even bring this.
…
The next day, the ship from Pier 12 weighed anchor at the pier outside the city as scheduled.
Tianbao and others boarded the ship.
Wei Li came to see it off in person, standing at the pier in black clothes, with a slim and tall figure.
Even though he has proclaimed himself emperor, he doesn't look any different in front of his former partners at this moment.
He is still the same fellow disciple they are familiar with.
Duandao and Ziyi were also there, accompanied by a group of Jinwu Guards with sabers at the rear.
The ship moved further and further away from the shore.
The scorching sun at the end of April shines brightly on the river, making it dazzling when you look into the distance.
Wei Li stood quietly, enduring the dazzling light, and finally looked away reluctantly for a long time, "Get off and go back to the palace."
The new emperor came to power, and everything was in ruins.
When the conspiracy case gradually subsided in Beijing, time also quietly slipped to August.
Another wave of excitement began in Changjing.
The new emperor's enthronement ceremony is approaching, and all envoys from surrounding countries to congratulate him have arrived in Beijing.
Foreign people in various foreign costumes can be seen everywhere on the streets.
At night, the Taihe Hall of the Imperial Palace is brightly lit, with music and dancing.
The new emperor held a banquet in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, inviting envoys from various countries to drink and drink together.
While they were drinking and drinking, Wei Li noticed a deep gaze falling on him. When he raised his eyes, the other person had already looked away.
There was a huge crowd in the hall, and I couldn't find where I was coming from.
Wei Li remained calm and expressionless, and whenever someone stood up to offer a toast, he always refused to come.
After all, he was young, and halfway through the banquet, he became too drunk and left early.
As soon as Emperor Dai Viet left, the hustle and bustle in the Hall of Supreme Harmony became even more wanton.
Somewhere at the guest table, a man raised his glass to the person opposite him and drank the wine in one gulp.
The attendant behind him leaned down and whispered in his ear, "My lord, do you want to follow me?"
The man lowered his eyes and poured the wine, "No need. Today's banquet, the Dai Viet Palace must be heavily guarded, so as not to alert others. This young emperor is not as simple as he seems on the surface."
He curled his lips, and his lowered eyes were dark and deep, unfathomable.
The twelfth prince who was supposed to die in the place of exile not only survived, but many years later he returned to the capital and was awarded the title of Major General based on his numerous military exploits.
After serving in Beijing for just over a year, great changes occurred in the Dai Viet royal family. Emperor Hong Duc was bedridden and all the princes and princes who had the power to vie for the throne died.
The word "treason" is like a piece on a chessboard, one piece breaks the chess game.
The only beneficiary in the end was the twelfth prince back then, now the new emperor of Dai Viet.
Nangong Qingyu...
Cruel enough.
Decisive enough.
…
After leaving the Hall of Supreme Harmony and entering the Imperial Garden, Wei Li's staggering steps became steady and his eyes became clear.
In early August, there was a waxing moon in the deep blue sky. The moonlight was pale, and the hazy and cool moonlight covered the Imperial Garden with a veil.
The blooming flowers in the courtyard cannot be seen clearly, and only the elegant fragrance of flowers in the air can be captured.
Wei Li walked with his hands behind his back, his bright yellow brocade robe swaying lightly as he walked, and his movements did not conceal the nobility and majesty of the emperor.
Ziyi followed him, three steps away, "Your Majesty, all the countries are congratulating each other this time. The envoys from each country have brought a lot of people. Except for the five small countries, the other countries all have teams of hundreds of people, and their skills are not weak. .”
"Envoys are traveling far away to congratulate them. They need people to carry the gifts, and they also need to protect the safety of the envoys... There is no better time to deploy people than at this time." Wei Li curled his lips, and his black eyes flashed coldly, "The ten surrounding countries, please join us here. I don’t know how many people there were at this time, and the total number of people was nearly a thousand. In the military camp, an elite team of a thousand people is already the division of two battalions. They really think highly of me. "
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Your subordinates and General Yuan will definitely make arrangements to ensure that the Emperor successfully completes the enthronement ceremony!"
Wei Li smiled and said, "The person behind it is not an easy man to persuade all the countries to join forces. Unfortunately, there is no way to find him out at the moment. They want to get rid of me when my foundation is unstable. Without a king in Vietnam, there will be chaos. By then, Dai Viet will be the meat of all countries, and everyone will be able to take a bite. They are all looking down on me..."
He tilted his head and said, "Commander Wei, the matter will be left to you and General Yuan. Act according to the opportunity. I trust you."
Ziyi lowered his head and responded, "I will definitely live up to my orders!"
Wei Li looked forward. The white marble ground under his feet was glowing white under the refraction of the moonlight. He stepped on it step by step, walking very steadily.
In mid-August, the coronation ceremony officially began.
Before the new emperor ascends the throne, he must offer sacrifices to heaven and earth and to the ancestral temple.
Changjing is bustling with excitement.
The people in the city lined the streets to watch. When the emperor's chariot passed through the main street, the people knelt down and knelt down to worship.
The Imperial Ancestral Temple is located on the east gate of Changjing.
The emperor offered sacrifices to the Taimiao, and the entire street was cleared and placed under martial law.
Guards in military uniforms were waiting in formation to kill and intimidate.
At this moment, the entire east gate is quiet, and there seems to be something unknown hidden behind it. As long as the veil covering it is lifted, demons and monsters will rush out.
The emperor's chariot stopped at the east gate. The emperor got off the chariot and led his courtiers up the stairs of the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
