After Wu Sheng answered on his behalf, Han Jiao, who was standing above the palace gate, smiled and said, "I cannot bear such a crime. Since the young master is suspicious, please come into the palace."
Everyone was stunned.
Immediately, the magic circle was closed, and the heavy palace door slowly opened. Si Gong Han walked out of the palace door and bowed to the young master on his chariot: "Young Master, please come into the palace. Your Majesty is waiting for you in the palace."
Young Master Qingyu looked at Wu Sheng hesitantly, and Wu Sheng was also full of doubts. He stepped forward and asked, "Han Si Palace, is there nothing abnormal in the palace?"
Han Jiao smiled and said, "Everything is business as usual."
Wu Sheng asked again: "Where is Young Master Cheng Shuang?"
Han Jiao said: "The eldest son has not entered the palace."
Wu Sheng turned around and greeted: "Take over the palace gate."
Dong Da, Suo Laoliu and Zhang Xiaokeng rushed in first, and soon appeared above the palace gate, shouting to Wu Sheng: "Everything is as usual!"
Wu Sheng waved again, and Yong Zhi and Uncle Yong entered with swords in hand and guarded the door. Wu Sheng stepped into the palace door and saw an empty atrium about an acre in size, surrounded by three-story high-rise buildings. , there were more than a dozen palace people upstairs and downstairs standing respectfully with their hands lowered, and there were also several palace guards, but they were all standing by and had no intention of obstructing them. As expected, everything was as usual.
It turns out that the royal palace of Yong Kingdom, or rather the prince's mansion, was so simple and crude.
The chariot followed Wu Sheng in. Young Master Qingyu got off the chariot, took a deep breath, and went straight to the main building opposite the atrium. A group of diners who followed in were stationed in various places and closed the palace gate again.
Wu Sheng accompanied his son Qingyu to the highest point of the main building, which was Yonghou's bedroom. The two maids opened the curtains, and Han Jiao turned to invite him: "Your Majesty, you have been waiting for a long time. Sir, please!"
Wu Sheng stopped Young Master Qingyu and looked around the palace. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, he accompanied him into the palace.
The so-called sleeping hall is just a slightly larger room, with a large bed in the center leaning against a landscape screen.
Wu Sheng thought for a while and realized that the screen and the big bed were ordinary objects, not magical objects. He looked under the bed again and went around behind the screen, but found no problem.
Han Jiao kept smiling and said nothing, showing no dissatisfaction with Wu Sheng's rude behavior. He quietly came to the bedside, lifted Yonghou up, and put a pillow on his back.
Seeing that Marquis Yong was fine, Prince Qingyu fell to the ground in fear: "My son and I are in no condition, just because I am worried about your father... In short, if I disturb your father's dream, I will be unfilial!"
Yonghou coughed twice and said feebly: "My son, come to me."
Qingyu trembled, stood up and sat on the edge of the bed. Yonghou looked at Qingyu with a smile on his face.
Qingyu said with difficulty: "Tonight...there are changes in the city...I am concerned about you, sir..."
Marquis Yong stretched out his hand, which was covered with black spots and looked like dry wood, and pointed at the screen on the right side of the bed: "My son, take a look."
What is painted on the screen is the topographic map of Yong State, a city of Shangyong, surrounded by several hills and large areas of farmland, as well as the Pan River and Zhuye River flowing from the mountains in the north. The northern boundary ends at Huyi Mountain, with Kuiqiu to the west, Yutou City to the east, and the Baiyue Mountains to the south.
It spans more than a hundred miles from east to west and dozens of miles from north to south. I don't know which painter was hired. The scroll is extremely detailed, and more than a dozen savage villages outside the city are also marked on it, which is clearly visible.
Is this the map of mountains and rivers that is the symbol of the country? Wu Sheng's eyes were also attracted, and he thought of a certain colleague of his - a certain colleague of his in the past. Then he thought of Langshan, his friend Wan Tao Valley Master who was good at drawing bellybands, and he didn't know what he was doing now.
While he was daydreaming, at the signal of Marquis Yong, Han Jiao stepped forward and turned the screen. There was a picture scroll on the back of the screen, which showed a vast territory with Qin in the north, Ba in the west, Chu in the east, and more in between. There are more than ten small countries such as Kui, Yu, Lu and Tang. It was dozens of times bigger than before!
This is a map of the mountains and rivers when Yongguo was strong and powerful decades ago.
Yonghou asked: "What did my son see?"
Prince Qingyu said sadly: "I have seen my homeland."
Yonghou suddenly shouted in a hoarse voice: "What I saw is humiliation!"
A roar made people panic. The originally dying Marquis Yong, who had no idea where his energy came from, burst out with amazing courage, his face turned red, and he said loudly: "I, Dayong, followed King Wu to destroy the Shang Dynasty, and swore an oath to the eight kingdoms for herding. One, with a land of thousands of miles, millions of people, and noble princes for generations! In the Chu country, the prince was no longer a prince, and he pretended to be the king. However, when I was careless, he joined forces with herding horses and despised the Qin people and the wild Ba people to destroy our country Zuo and move us. Ancestral hall, as for this land of a hundred miles. My ancestor died in shame and anger, and I will die in depression. When will this humiliation be repaid? When will the Han River and the Wu River return?"
Young Master Qingyu clenched his fists: "My son... I must avenge my shame!"
Yonghou stared at Qingyu for a long time. The flush on his face faded and turned yellow again. He murmured: "This is the best, this is the best."
There was silence in the bedroom for a moment, and Marquis Yong said softly: "I have been waiting for you and the couple to come first. As expected, I have been waiting for you. You are very good. You dare to break into the palace, but the couple does not. He failed to live up to everyone's expectations..."
Young Master Qingyu quickly lowered his head: "My son is guilty..."
Marquis Yong smiled: "Dayong has not even dared to break into the palace gate to this day. He only wants to sit and wait for the people of Chu to give alms. How can he cheer up? You have such courage, I can only be happy... My son only remembers one thing, you want to Those who use strength must first submit to their weakness; those who wish to strengthen the country must assess the situation and assess the situation. Now that the people of Chu are strong, they can only lie dormant and not use their energy to act."
After he finished speaking, he coughed a lot, making his body hunched up and his face even more sickly flushed.
Young Master Qingyu grabbed Yonghou's withered palm, touched it to his forehead, and cried: "Sir, stop talking, don't bother me..."
Marquis Yong said warmly: "I have no time left. What you need to say must be said quickly, otherwise you will not be able to say it. Your brother is a twin, and you are respected by the old ministers. I can't help you. I have only one thing for you. In the future No matter what, it all depends on you...Korean friends..."
Han Jiao held up a scarf and opened it, revealing a bronze seal and a red ribbon tying the seal. This was Yonghou's seal ribbon.
In addition, there was an edict, which only contained a simple sentence: "——The successor will enter the ancestral hall." In the blank space in front, Yonghou took up his pen and wrote the word "Qingyu" on the spot.
With a smile, he looked at the tearful young master Qingyu, who hung up his seal to accept the imperial edict. Yonghou nodded and coughed several times, then passed away suddenly.
Young Master Qingyu was crying loudly, and was helped to the lower main hall by Han Jiao. Han Jiao led dozens of palace servants, maids, and palace guards to bow down to Young Master Qingyu and called him "Your Majesty."
After Wu Sheng bowed again, he asked Qing Yu to show his condolences: "Your Majesty, stop being sad! The most important thing right now is to inform the country about your succession, so as not to cause chaos in Xiaoxiao."
Qingyu wiped away his tears and said, "I have ascended the throne today and would like to worship the alchemist as a diviner. Is that okay?"
Wu Sheng declined and said, "How virtuous and capable is this minister, that he dares to become one of the great officials? I fear he will cause criticism from the people of Chu."
This is to remind Chengshuang that Bu Yin has an important position in the Qing Dynasty and is to report to the Chu State. Doing so is clearly going against Shen Douke, which is not appropriate. In fact, he didn't want to be too conspicuous in being in such a prominent position.
Qingyu thought about it and changed his words: "I hope you will not relinquish your position as guest guest."
Keqing is a casual position with no specific duties. It is located at the end of the lower level of the official. There is no need to inform the Chu people. Even if the Chu people know, it is not a big deal. The original dead ghost Yunji is the Keqing in the Fish Kingdom. However, although the guest minister has no duties, he can respond to edicts and prepare for inquiries at any time. If the monarch values him, he will have great power.
Wu Sheng bowed to Qingyu and said: "I have received the imperial edict!"
