In Li Tang's Weiyang Palace, it was very easy to recommend an old immortal that no one cared about. Anyone could recommend him, and anyone who proposed it would get one. The unanimous response can be said to be what everyone expected. Wouldn't His Highness King Wu, who was panting even when he was ninety or six years old, be able to be welcomed by everyone? But it would be very difficult for the old to replace the young, and it would be very difficult for the court to introduce a young talent who can be the heir to the throne. It is also possible to nominate one hundred and eighty at will, but it is impossible to get popular support. Anyone who proposes will be unanimously attacked by everyone else.
It is impossible to rely on public recommendation by ministers. What about the emperor who can make the final decision?
The emperor actually had no idea.
Even if the emperor of the Tang Empire was capable and arbitrary, he could only do it for the sake of his own children. As we all know, the emperor of Li Tang did not have any children of his own. He could not be very energetic about the future of other people's children, let alone risk everything. He also lost the reputation of a holy king. , no need to lose face. What's more, the matter of appointing a prince is not entirely decided by the emperor and ministers. After all, the imperial palace has a veto power. Although this veto power is generally not used, it will still be used after all. There is a system in place.
No one is willing to do something that is of no benefit, and the same goes for the emperor, not to mention that it may also carry a huge responsibility that will last for a long time. The emperor was already sad because he had no children and was fasting innocently. This time, he was probably annoyed by the fighting between the talents and the talents behind their backs, so he simply picked out a dozen of them in one go. There are talented people from all walks of life, one by one, every family has a share, and then they are all sent to the spaceship to Lanzhou for summer hunting, waiting for Zonggong to go there himself Choose the officiant you like. If you still can't pick one out among so many talents, it doesn't matter. Isn't His Highness the King of Wu, who has lived for ninety-six years, still there? Where is he?
This is tantamount to kicking the ball to the Zong Palace and leaving the issue of the successor to Mr. Li Shen to worry about. It is difficult. Moreover, His Majesty the Emperor played the game very confidently - who made you the suzerain? If you don't worry about the successor, who will worry about the heir? Who will worry about the trouble? What's more, after the candidate for the crown prince is confirmed, the imperial palace must be notified before he can be officially confirmed as the crown prince. So instead of me trying so hard to pick one out and you still don't like it, why don't you just pick out the one you like. After all, destiny is the most important thing. Anyway, there is no son of mine here, and I don’t deserve one...
When Mingzhu received the package gift from this circle of clan talents in Jinlunxing's base camp, she couldn't laugh or cry. Her inconvenience for such a big event really meant that Master Li Shen took it upon himself to do it. It was inconvenient to lock up the talents in the Zhai Palace, where His Majesty the Emperor, who was so green from eating green leaves, had to mail them back, so he had to continue loading them on the ship and transport them to Jiluo as they were. Waiting for Mr. Li Shen to make his own decision.
Lord Li Shen's personal decision was of course not decisive, but when he asked Mingzhu for instructions, he said: "King Wu is indeed too old."
"Really?" Mingzhu immediately smiled and said, "What if it's not good if you get sick because of the sacrifice? Then King Wu will preside over the ceremony, and the rest of the clan will take turns to go to prison."
After solving the problem of the ritual, Mingzhu took the initiative to mention Lord Li Shen's younger brother Li You when he looked at him.
"His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin refused to come," Mingzhu knelt down to apologize and explained helplessly, "He said he had a party this month and couldn't miss the Fuxing Society's tail-burning banquet."
Li Shen's biological brother Jin Wang Gu Hanhan knows it. Listening to Li Shen's speech, he should have a deep affection for him, but now, it seems that his biological brother is not good at it either. He has lost his life or death. He My brother just wants to treat people to a banquet. Is this what he is doing?
Having a premonition that this is another scumbag of a showman, a little brat who can't help but worry, Gu Hanhan's spirit suddenly perks up, and he waits as he shines brightly through the curtains. Judging from Master Li Shen's reaction, I feel that the opportunity for revenge has arrived.
Mr. Li Shen didn't react much, but he was probably quite helpless. After listening to Mingzhu's explanation, he said indifferently: "I understand."
After asking the chief attendant to retreat, Li Shen returned to the curtain. Gu Hanhan originally wanted to laugh at him severely in order to avenge him, but seeing the way Master Li Shen hit Xiao Baicai, of course he was I can only comfort him. After all, the only way to relieve worries is to bloom.
Li Tang's Summer Hunting Ceremony was finally scheduled for three days later. During these three days, the chief attendant of the Pearl Palace and the entire clan were busy preparing for the ceremony, and they were all breathless and luxurious. Only Mr. Li Shen had nothing to do, just busy blooming, as if he was going to take root in the fertile field and nail Gu Hanhan to his bed. Gu Hanhan was simply afraid of him, but he couldn't bear to stand up and resist, so he killed Qingsi in anger. So these three days were entangled, and she could only survive for a while with the servants coming in and out, trying on her clothes and making the wedding dresses and jewelry for the ceremony.
Yes, Li Tang really hoped that Gu Hanhan could attend their Xia Shou Ceremony. Not only did he prepare a dress for her to wear during the ceremony, but he also specially arranged a place for her to watch the ceremony, right next to Mr. Li Shen. He was even closer to her than the Pearl Attendant. Moreover, Mingzhu still took time out of her busy schedule, which meant that Master Li Shen, who was extremely close to Gu Hanha just now, extended a sincere invitation to her and cordially invited her to attend the ceremony as a guest of the royal family. and watch the military parade.
She also specifically explained to Gu Hanhan, who did not know the traditions of Li and Tang Dynasty, what "sacrificial wine" was. It was an honorary title in the full sectarian sense, specially given to the sect leader's personal close friends. The common name for the city is "Female Companion", so it has nothing to do with the empire or politics, so Gu Hanhan can accept it without any pressure. The main reason is that according to the tradition of the Zonggong, no one other than the official envoys of the Temple Cult will be invited to the ceremony, so it is necessary to find a suitable identity for Gu Hanhan - then the Zonggong sacrificial wine is a private person The honorary title of Hua? is the most suitable identity.
Gu Hanhan also wanted to participate in it. The Tang Empire, which has the longest history in the universe, had national sacrifices and military parades. It would be a pity not to watch it. But the gorgeous dress that was delivered and the earnestness of the Mingzhu Attendant made Gu Hanhan really unable to feel at ease.
Although Jiluo has an army of 300,000 Li and Tang, as well as numerous military and political officials, and clan dignitaries, it is still a personalized one. At least Gu Hanhan's ring is still not connected to the Internet. She had no way of knowing whether this "sacrificial wine" was what the head attendant Mingzhu said, but when it came to the "female companion" Gu Hanhan, she was too familiar. In the Acropolis, a woman's eldest brother can be a mistress, a mistress can be a mistress, a healer can be a mistress, and a fiancée can also be a mistress. She, Gu Hanhan, was originally called a "mistress" "Have you fallen into too many pits? No? Gu Hanhan looks down on herself. If she can listen to everything the chief attendant says, even if she sells out herself and can't even count the money, let alone her own chief attendant. , or someone else's, she is not familiar with her at all, they have met her no more than once, and have been tricked no less than once. Now this is the second time. Gu Hanhan had reasonable doubts. If she listened to the instigation of the Mingzhu Attendant, put on this dress and stood next to Master Li Shen during the ceremony, she might not have to wait until the ceremony was over. He entered the whirlpool black hole of Li and Tang politics and could never escape from it.
"The Great Luo of All Worlds"
——She can't lead herself into a pit just to wear beautiful clothes and watch the fun!
The dying struggle is still necessary.
——They were going to force me to go anyway, so I had no choice but to go.
Fortunately, Master Li Shen had a laissez-faire attitude towards Gu Hanhan's refusal to go. He even personally demolished his position as head of the chamberlain and said to Gu Hanhan: "If you want to go, go and see. If you don't want to, just go and see." There’s nothing to lose by going. In fact, most of the time it’s boring and I don’t want to go.”
Gu Hanhan was very moved. What does this mean? It shows that hard work will be rewarded! What have you been doing these past few days? It’s really not in vain!
Because of Lord Li Shen's attitude, Mingzhu couldn't resist her Lord. She openly dragged Gu Hanhan off the bed and took her to the ceremony. She had no choice but to leave with hatred, even if she didn't want to attend. .
Of course, Mr. Li Shen doesn’t want to go? No. Although he said he was tired of staying in bed and said he didn't want to leave, this was the first time in hundreds of years that the Li and Tang Empire held a grand ceremony under the starry sky of their former homeland outside the border, and it was also the first time after he escaped from the isolation zone. At the first ceremony, Lord Li Shen must appear in person and cannot leave the seat empty as usual.
So, Mr. Li Shen had no choice but to get up and change clothes at the last moment. Contrary to the gorgeous dress sent to Gu Hanhan, Li Shen's dress has no patterns at all. It is a kind of pure black but not black, like the color of the universe, simple but extremely simple. It is also extremely vast. But when he put on this mysterious robe, his long black hair was spread down, and when he turned around, his shining black eyes seemed to be really dissolved into the void and the vastness of the universe.
Gu Hanhan didn't know if Li Tang had a live video of the grand scene of the sacrifice. Anyway, she was here? There was no live broadcast. In the end, Gu Hanhan leaned against the window and watched the whole ceremony. The field of view was not very good. The ceremony stage was above her head, which meant that she could not see the main scenes of most of the sacrifices. But she did see the vast scene when the three hundred thousand fleets gathered together. The view there was perfect, and she could overlook the universe from the same angle as the viewing platform. I saw endless light and endless flickering, and even the brilliance of the starry sky seemed to be obscured by the fleet of ships. Gu Hanhan stood here, and for the first time in his life, he had the illusion that all the stars were being stepped on. Gu Hanhan's eyes filled with tears when he saw it. His ambitions were like undulating waves. It seemed that at this moment, he had the great cause of mankind's conquest of the galaxy in his hands.
"Beyond the territory of the empire is the border of the empire."
Gu Hanhan was very moved. Now that she thought about the words of the Governor of Lanzhou, she felt so powerful!
She thought, the history of mankind is probably like this, I come, I see, I conquer, this has nothing to do with energy or superpowers, and there is no such thing as isolation zones and buffer zones, as long as the battleship can reach them Place, that is? Human territory!
