Chapter 493 Taishan Worshiping the Ancestors
From Eunuch Li's words, at least two pieces of information can be deduced.

One is that the emperor is in a bad mood, and he often frowns and sighs alone. This should not be a mistake made by a certain minister, or something bad happened in the country. After all, if the minister had offended the emperor, he would have been kicked out long ago. , if something major happened in the country, Lin Xiaoyao, as the commander of the Jinyi Guards, would not be unaware of it.

Therefore, there can only be one reason why the emperor would behave like this, that is, the person who made the emperor angry or helplessly distressed was someone close to and trusted by the emperor, and this person was also someone the emperor could not bear or could not make up his mind to deal with.

The second reason is that the emperor's health is getting worse and worse. Why does the emperor, who is called Mingjun, kill so many imperial doctors without asking the reason? There can only be one reason, and that is that the emperor's body has reached its limit. Only by killing a few imperial doctors can he calm down the anger in his heart.

On the other hand, it can also be deduced that the emperor's health is failing, and the establishment of a crown prince is imminent!It is very likely that the position of the crown prince will be determined around the Chinese New Year.

Thinking of these two points, even Lin Xiaoyao, who had always been calm and composed, couldn't help but his heartbeat accelerated. He's the prince!After arriving in Bianliang, he tried his best to expand his strength. Why?Just to help Zhao Letian win the position of crown prince!
And now, the battle for the crown prince is finally about to start in full swing!

"Thank you Eunuch Li for telling me, Eunuch Li's words have helped Xiaoyao a lot!"

Lin Xiaoyao took out two silver bills from his pocket and handed them to Eunuch Li, and exchanged 400 taels for such useful news, Lin Xiaoyao didn't feel bad at all.

Eunuch Li pushed and shoved a few more times, and finally with a smile like a chrysanthemum, he received the banknote in his arms.

"Master Lin, let's go in quickly, the emperor has been waiting for a long time." Eunuch Li didn't dare to waste Lin Xiaoyao's time, and hurriedly urged after receiving the bank note.

Lin Xiaoyao nodded, cupped his fists to Eunuch Li, took a deep breath, turned around and entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony proudly.

As soon as he entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony, he saw who Eunuch Li had mentioned. The emperor sat on the dragon chair, and in the center of the hall, there were two people standing respectfully.

Lin Xiaoyao looked at the two of them intently, and his eyes lit up immediately.

Eunuch Li said that he knew these two people, which was true.

Standing on the left side in the center of the hall is the number one scholar in the world, the Prime Minister Yu Yunwen, and beside Yu Yunwen is an old acquaintance of Lin Xiaoyao, but I haven't seen him for a while, I don't know him When did I come to Bianliang?

He smiled and nodded to Murong Pang, as a greeting, after all, this is the Hall of Supreme Harmony, a serious place, personal friendship depends on the timing.

Murong Pang also obviously understood what Lin Xiaoyao meant, and nodded back with a smile.

"Long live my emperor..."

Before Lin Xiaoyao knelt down and shouted long live, he was interrupted by the emperor's impatient wave of his hand.

"Don't talk about those nonsense, there are no outsiders here, and you don't have to try to be serious, you can do whatever you have with me in the past."

What the emperor said was very natural, and Lin Xiaoyao was also very natural. Instead of continuing to kneel down, he stood up directly.

Both of them are very natural, but Yu Yunwen and Murong Pang are not natural. They both know that Lin Xiaoyao has a good relationship with the emperor, otherwise the power of Jin Yiwei will not fall to Lin Xiaoyao, but they just want to use their brains. He didn't expect that the relationship between Lin Xiaoyao and the emperor was so good that he could even give up the ceremony of kneeling.

In fact, how did they know that it wasn't that their relationship was so good, but that the emperor deliberately showed them. Lin Xiaoyao didn't have much political sensitivity, so he thought it was the same as when no outsiders were around, and wanted to do it. Do whatever you want, and accept the emperor's preferential treatment carelessly.

Seeing the surprised expressions on the faces of Yu Yunwen and Murong Pang, the emperor raised the corners of his mouth slightly, but soon regained Gujing Wubo's calmness.

"Xiaoyao boy, I heard that you went to Kunning Palace with Changle today?" The emperor said to Lin Xiaoyao as if he was talking about family matters.

Lin Xiaoyao nodded, and Shili replied: "It's been a long time since I've been back to Bianliang, and I haven't paid homage to my mother-in-law, so today I'm going to worship my mother-in-law with Ximeng."

Lin Xiaoyao's causal relationship is somewhat contradictory, but the emperor didn't seem to notice it, a flash of reminiscence flashed in his eyes, and he murmured: "I haven't been to Kunning Palace for a long time, Jingwen, you've gone so far in a blink of an eye It's been many years..."

Lin Xiaoyao's ears and eyes were clear. He was the only one among the people in the hall who could hear the emperor's words clearly. However, like Yu Yunwen and Murong Pang, he bowed his head and pretended not to know anything. After all, who was the emperor speaking to? , Lin Xiaoyao can still distinguish clearly.

A moment later, the emperor's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and a thunderbolt flashed like a real one. Even if he didn't do anything deliberately, Lin Xiaoyao and the others felt a heavy weight on their bodies, and the pressure suddenly appeared.

"Xiaoyao, do you know why I called you here?" The emperor sat up straight, his eyes were as calm as water, cold and deep. There was no expression on his face, making it difficult to infer his psychology through his expression.

Lin Xiaoyao shook his head slightly, and replied truthfully, "I don't know."

"Murong Aiqing, tell Xiaoyao about our plan."

The emperor seemed to have guessed Lin Xiaoyao's answer. He did not continue to embarrass Lin Xiaoyao, but said to Murong Pang.

Murong Pang nodded, and immediately said to Lin Xiaoyao: "It's like this. On the occasion of the New Year, my emperor is going to go to Mount Tai to pay homage to the ancestors, hoping that my summer will be smooth and the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe."

"Worshiping ancestors on Mount Tai?"

Lin Xiaoyao frowned slightly when he heard the words. He didn't know that the emperor had this habit of going to Mount Tai to worship his ancestors during the Chinese New Year, and he had never done such a thing in the past years.

Therefore, the matter of worshiping the ancestors on Mount Tai must have been decided by the emperor on the spur of the moment, and he himself hadn't even heard the slightest bit of news. If Murong Pang hadn't told him, he wouldn't have been able to figure it out even if it made him think about it.

"That's right! It's Taishan worshiping the ancestors, do you have something to say?" The emperor said directly when he heard Lin Xiaoyao's question.

"Your Majesty, I only have one question. Is the matter of worshiping the ancestors on Mount Tai the Emperor's own idea, or is it someone else's offer?"

Lin Xiaoyao clasped his fists, bowed and said to the emperor, he felt that there was nothing wrong with his words, but it really scared Yu Yunwen and Murong Pang into a cold sweat.

You must know that Lin Xiaoyao's words did not sound like he was speaking to the emperor at all, and no one dared to speak to the emperor like this. Did he think of it himself, or was it someone else's words?This is clearly dissatisfaction with the emperor's decision, why not ask the emperor!
