one step closer to the end

The Minister of Rites presided over the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven in person, and the monks were already ready at the incense table. After the prince and the princess knelt down to burn incense, all the civil and military officials also knelt down. However, during the national funeral, the ceremony was not so complicated.

"Long live the emperor! Long live..."

When the crown prince received the canonized scroll, thousands of people shouted long live at the same time. At this moment, the crown prince was officially enthroned as emperor, and the princess was also promoted to empress.

"Emperor Jiwu may not have imagined until his death that his century-old dynasty has only been in power for more than ten years..."

Zhao Guanren raised his head and looked at Emperor Yongji. Emperor Yongji did not look high-spirited, and his whole person was much calmer than when he was the prince. Next came the canonization ceremony of the prince and princess.

"Oh~ I haven't seen Yongning in a month, her belly is so big..."

Lu Datou raised his head in surprise, only to see that the emperor took Yongning out of the hall, the little Yongning, who was nearly five months pregnant, had already become a young woman with a big belly, and the loose robes could not cover her belly , but she was followed by a strange girl on the right side.

"Hmph~ Your majesty is going to be a demon..."

Zhao Guanren knelt down on one knee and sneered. The emperor's grandson's face was very ugly. After bringing the two girls to the center of the high platform, he first carried out the canonization of the crown prince. It's up to him to decide.

"Guan'er! Choose carefully, the princess will be your good wife in the future..."

Emperor Yongji was already sitting in front of the main hall, staring at his son meaningfully. The queen sat beside him with a smile that was not a smile, and the maids immediately took out two trays, one with a jade ruyi on it, and the other Only the top is a sachet.

"My son obeys!"

The prince wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. According to the rules of the royal family of the Ji Kingdom, the one who takes the wishful will be the crown princess, and the sachet will be given to the side concubine. , it will be difficult to abolish it.

"click~"

The prince tremblingly picked up Yu Ruyi, and walked in front of Yongning with a pale face. Emperor Yongji immediately coughed heavily from behind, the hand that the prince had just stretched out trembled suddenly, and subconsciously looked at the strange girl on the other side. Looking at him expectantly.

"Useless stuff! You can't even protect your own wife and children, you wait to collect the corpse for us..."

Yong Ning uttered a sentence from between his teeth, only to see the prince's eyes suddenly turned hard, and he handed Ruyi to her with both hands, and Emperor Yong Ji stood up in shock, and the princes in the audience also widened their eyes , couldn't believe their eyes.

"Thank you, the prince, for your kindness, I don't have such a blessing..."

Yongning actually pushed Yu Ruyi back slowly, and said in a low voice: "You and I are a husband and wife after all, I don't want to make it difficult for you, but you must remember to me, you owe our mother and son a debt of blood again, in this life If you are a cow or a horse, you have to return it!"

"Yongning! Thank you, I will definitely repay you..."

The prince was so touched that tears streamed down his face, and he walked up to the strange girl with guilt on his face, and stuffed Yu Ruyi into her arms, then picked up the sachet with both hands, and handed it to Yongning with tears in his eyes.

"Clap clap clap..."

The audience immediately burst into warm applause. In fact, not only the emperor's family, but also many ministers did not want Yongning to be the crown princess. They are all foreigners. Now that Yongning declined the crown princess on his own initiative, his good reputation cannot be escaped. .

Next is the highlight of the day. The Ye and Yuan families recognized their ancestors and returned to their clan. Hong Luan personally stepped forward and held out a luxurious longevity card, which was written in large golden characters - Buddha's light shines, the ancestor of the long live dynasty, Zhao Shi Ziqiang Changsheng Lu bit!

"Longevity card? The ancestor of the Zhao family is still alive..."

The officials in the audience were in an uproar, everyone thought that Zhao Ziqiang was dead, but who knew he was alive and kicking, but after the descendants of the Zhao family boasted, they knew that Zhao Ziqiang had "become a fairy" and had long since ignored the world of mortals.

"The descendants of the Zhao family! All kneel down, recognize the ancestors and return to the clan..."

Hongluan respectfully placed the memorial tablet on the altar. As Zhao Ziqiang's concubine, she stood alone on the high platform, while Emperor Yongji had already walked down with his wife and children, standing in front of the high platform with the Yuan family's descendants , Kneeling three times and knocking nine times seriously.

"Boom~"

suddenly!

The entire imperial palace was shaken three times by a thunderstorm from the drought, and everyone raised their heads in shock. Unexpectedly, the clear sky suddenly changed, lightning bolts criss-crossed in the sky, and the wind suddenly rose for no reason. It got dark.

"Oops! Five thunders strike the top, Hong Luan quickly come down..."

Zhao Guanren yelled in horror, but before Hong Luan could react, a thick bolt of lightning suddenly struck the top of the hall, blowing out a big hole in the tile roof, and the wooden keel immediately caught fire, scaring everyone Everyone exclaimed again and again.

"All get down! Don't stand up..."

Zhao Guanren slammed Lu Da's head on the ground, followed by a few crackling sounds, and three bolts of lightning fell on the palace one after another, smashing the glorious hall into a mess, and the last one unexpectedly struck again. Slashed on the high platform.

"Boom~"

There was a loud bang that shook the sky, and the lightning seemed to have eyes, and it struck the longevity card impartially. The longevity card was instantly turned into a ball of ashes, and the altar table below was smashed to pieces.

"Why, how did this happen, who is casting the spell..."

Lu Datou held his head dumbfounded, and all the thousands of people in the square were dumbfounded, while Zhao Guanren said with a pale face: "It's not magic! This is because God can't tolerate Zhao Ziqiang anymore. To recognize the ancestor and return to the clan is to provoke God. We The trouble... is big!"

Chapter 0596 Little Dragon Girl

The incident of the five thunders hitting the top shocked the entire capital, but Zhao Guanren turned it around with illusions, falsely claiming that it was Zhao Ziqiang's opponent in the fairy world who did it, and fooled a lot of people with eloquence.

However, he still asked the two families to suspend the recognition of their ancestors and return to their ancestors, and continue to be named Yuan and Ye. The Yuan family was conferred the title of prince with six foreign surnames, and Zhao Guanren was also conferred the title of Great General to Protect the Country. The re-division of the three powers was completed.

"Looking at it this way, we have the least number of troops, and the royal family has doubled their strength..."

Lu Datou sat in a small building by the Qinhuai River, and the three of them booked the whole brothel, Zhao Guanren leaned against the window to admire the passing boat girls, Qiu Ning lay on the tea table and read a form.

"What's the use of more troops, no gentry support, no merchants to pay, who will fight for them..."

Qiu Ning raised his head and said, "Why has the emperor kept a low profile recently? More than half of their supporters have run away, and they are only supported by generals loyal to the royal family. It will be even worse when the Yuan family cuts off Jiangbei's tax revenue. The princes are now running around. Pull people everywhere to support them!"

"It's because they will run away, and the ones they bring here are all drunks..."

Zhao Guanren lit a cigarette and said: "I understand the Ye family. They are all good at playing tricks and tricks. There is no one who can really do great things. They only care about the small profits in front of them. Hongluan will educate their children and grandchildren. The Yuan family has A few good wolves!"

"Master! Here I come..."

Luo Tan suddenly ran up from downstairs, sat down at the tea table and said contemptuously: "The Ye family got the courage, you don't want to marry Renfu Diji, they didn't respond at all, and they even sent the harem concubines and maids , packed up and sent out of the palace together, and said that the majesty of the Tian family cannot be desecrated!"

"It's not so rigid, is it?"

Lu Datou was surprised and said: "Although the concubines and concubines in the harem have been won over by us, there may still be a chance to be tactful if they stay in the palace. Sending them out of the palace together, isn't life too late?"

"If you want to save face, you will suffer, he just can't let go of that face..."

Luo Tan sneered: "In the past, the late emperor oppressed them, and their elder brothers could only obey what they said. Once the old man died, they would reveal their true colors, but it happened to be cheaper for us. Let's take the concubines back to live, and make contact with each family. It's convenient!"

"Qiu Ning has made arrangements..."

Zhao Guanren said: "All the houses behind Zhao's mansion have been bought, and the conditions are not worse than those in the palace, but Ye Zimei got them all out, not only for saving face, but because he found a corpse poison powder, he suddenly gained confidence, I want to do something to their natal family!"

"Where did he find the poison powder, there is no sign of it..."

Lu Datou looked at him in confusion, but Zhao Guanren said, "Don't worry about it, I will definitely get married on the [-]th of next month. Tomorrow, you go to Gusu City. After you leave the city, someone will pick you up and arrest you secretly. Arrest a dead man named Li Donglai!"

"Finally found one..."

Lu Datou hurriedly asked in a low voice: "But Jiangbei is now the Yuan family's world, and Yuan Laoer and the others are stationed in Gusu. Wouldn't it be a trap for me to catch people?"

"The person who responds to you will help you change your appearance. Your identity is the policeman of Six Doors..."

Zhao Guanren said in a low voice: "This matter can only be entrusted to you. I don't worry about the others. Besides, you have lived in Gusu for two years and are familiar with the terrain there. Even if the Yuan family finds out about you, they won't make things difficult for you. But the poison powder cannot be snatched away by them, it must be destroyed as soon as possible!"

"No! Isn't Yuan Er Er a poisonous fan? Why are you robbing me..."

Lu Datou looked at him in confusion, and Zhao Guanren smiled and said, "If he says you have it, believe it. He hasn't even found Li Donglai, but the poisonous powder may not be on Li Donglai's body. He may just be one of the links in passing the poisonous powder. We have to capture him alive, and give him medicine immediately after capture!"

"My lord! I'm so happy..."

Suddenly, Song Chizhu's cry came from downstairs, and he ran up excitedly after a while.

"The news just came from my hometown that the second wife gave birth to a son for you, a big fat boy who is very different..."

Song Chizhu said loudly: "The third wife also gave birth to a son, and the fourth wife gave birth to a daughter, and...too many, your family has added five sons, four daughters, and a few more in one fell swoop." It's about to go into production, and the size is all safe now!"

"Really? These little girls are so awesome..."

Zhao Guanren jumped up in great surprise, but Song Chizhu said again: "What's even more powerful is the next one. Concubine Longzi gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins seven days ago. It is said that the little princess was born with a pair of dragon horns, which frightened the midwife at first. , I later found out that she was a little dragon girl!"

"Ah? Long, long horns..."

Zhao Guanren stuttered in shock, but Song Chizhu said: "The children of Xiaobailong are born with visions, and now the whole Shun Kingdom is celebrating, and the princes and ministers take turns to kowtow to Xiaolongnv. I was left out in the cold, haha~"

"Oh! Good, Xiaolongnv is good..."

Zhao Guanren nodded foolishly. Of course he knew that Concubine Longzi was lying. It was impossible for their children to grow dragon horns, but it was the first time in his life that he had children, and there were so many at once, he really didn't know what to do. measures.

"Hey! Qian Gui gave birth to a man or a woman..."

Luo Tan and Qiu Ning hurriedly got up to ask questions, and Song Chizhu directly showed them the letter they had just received from Fei Ge.

"Haha~"

Luo Tan looked at it twice and then laughed loudly: "This bitch said all day long that she was pregnant with a son, but in the end she gave birth to a child without a handle, she must sit on the ground and cry!"

"Is Mr. Qian very good-looking, you seem to be very jealous..."

Lu Datou looked at the two of them curiously, but Luo Tan rolled his eyes and said: "What kind of beauty can she have, she is just shameless, let her niece and daughter be the housekeeper, she is still a coquettish girl, she is called Master in front of people, and is called "Master" behind her back." Brother, close the door and call uncle, a pair of shameless sluts!"

"My lord! A letter from the emperor..."

Song Chizhu took out a letter and handed it over. Zhao Guanren opened it and read it with a smile: "The emperor said that in order to help me, he gave up the opportunity to go back to see Xiaolongnv. He trains soldiers at the border every day. Millions of troops are waiting for me dispatch!"

"It's still our emperor who is affectionate and righteous..."

Song Chizhu said with a lot of emotion: "Although the emperors of both countries are emperors, I always feel that the emperor of Ji country is almost something. He always feels like a rebellious emperor, not as grand as our emperor!"

"It's not a problem with the emperor, but the entire court has a reckless spirit..."

Zhao Guanren took out a lighter and lit the letter, threw it into the ashtray and said, "The three parties in the country of Jilin have confronted each other all year round, and those who have the right to speak are those who have the power to speak. The illusion of fighting!"

"My lord! I sincerely ask you a question..."

Song Chizhu was puzzled and said: "In the beginning, some people always said that you were not of my race, and their hearts must be different, especially when you rebelled, the people of Ji country scolded you as a traitor, but now this kind of voice can no longer be heard. And so many generals are at your disposal, they don't treat you as a foreigner at all!"

"Because I let them look up at me, my cooperation with them is a kind of support..."

Zhao Guanren spread his hands and said: "The premise of cooperation is win-win, and the price of win-win is equality, but once they are equal, they will negotiate with you. Only when the other party feels that they are hugging your thigh, and he is dispensable, will he work hard. Show it to you, even if it's upside down, he'll be happy!"

"Oh!"

Song Chizhu suddenly realized: "Isn't this just like me, I spent a lot of time and money in order to hold your thigh tightly!"

"That's right! You spent so much money to go down, are you willing to let go of my thigh..."

Zhao Guanren patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "A good general will be brothers to his subordinates, this kind of person will be the soul of a team, but a good marshal will never be brothers to his subordinates, he can only use his subordinates as pawns , he can achieve success in one stroke!"

"Taught! The officer learned another trick today..."

Song Chizhu bowed deeply, but suddenly someone coughed downstairs, Zhao Guanren immediately told Song Chizhu to leave, and led Lu Datou and the others into the wing.

"My lord! There is an emergency..."

A man in black came in from the back window, and when he took off the black gauze hat on his head, it turned out to be Ouyang Jin disguised as a man. Lu Datou immediately exclaimed: "I'll go! Ou Xiaosong, why are you here?" ?”

"None of your business! Don't call me Ou Xiaosong..."

Ouyang Jin glared at him, and said in a low voice, "My lord! Yuan Laoer also found Li Donglai, but he didn't know that he was in Gusu, and Li Donglai was not alone. He had a one-way contact with a superior, probably Jin Yi. Dark Guard!"

"These hidden guards are very cautious and haven't contacted the prince..."

Zhao Guanren frowned and said: "The crown prince is enthroned today, I guess they will contact you as soon as possible, and you will not be a group of rootless duckweeds. You should pay special attention during this time, by the way! Li Donglai didn't intend to run away, is he still there?" Gusu?"

"Here! Yuan Er Er hasn't alarmed him yet..."

Ouyang Jin said: "But we have to act quickly. It is best to set off tonight, otherwise they will probably hide all of them when they receive the news of the crown prince's enthronement, and wait for the new emperor's order. It will be difficult to find him at that time." Already!"

"Big head! You're going to go with Xiao Song immediately..."

Zhao Guanren took out a black tooth card, handed it to Ouyang Jin and said, "I have already arranged the manpower. They are responsible for attracting the Yuan family's attention. You can only rely on yourself when you enter Gusu. In an emergency, you can go to the Fulai Automobile Store and find a car dealer." The person named Qian Dazhu, he is the shadow of Thailand!"

"Shadow? Why did you cooperate with the Thai thief..."

Ouyang Jin looked at him in surprise, but Zhao Guanren smiled and said, "I'm also the son-in-law of the kingdom of heaven, okay? Their country has already been blown up, and I'll take over as a matter of course. Wouldn't it be nice to restore the country for them? They are grateful." Me!"

"Ha~"

Ouyang Jin mocked: "You really have wives in every village, and mothers-in-law in every country. It's a pity that you don't go to eat soft rice!"

"Your little mouth, I'll fill it up sooner or later..."

Zhao Guanren pinched her cheek and twisted it, but Ouyang Jin blushed and slapped his hand away in embarrassment and said angrily: "You marry wives everywhere, and you are not allowed to tell others, Zheng Yijian, don't give me a lewd smile, dare you Hold me back, I want you to look good!"

"When did I smile lewdly, did I smile lewdly..."

Lu Datou scratched his face in confusion, but Zhao Guanren nodded and said: "As long as you are smiling, it must be a coquettish and lewd smile, all right! Hurry up and go with the Oriental heroine, remember that you can only use shadows, not trust They are a bunch of cannibals!"

"You just wait for my good news, it must be settled before your wedding..."

Lu Datou followed Ouyang Jin confidently, but Zhao Guanren looked at the dark sky outside the window, frowned and said, "God! Don't be a moth this time, give me some more time, and I will definitely change the dynasty of Jiguo." !"

Chapter 0597

The light rain fell in the sky, and the dark clouds covered the afternoon sun. Six men in green uniforms jumped off their horses and walked into the bamboo forest in the mountain. Behind the mountain was a huge city built along the river. The city of rain and smoke - Gusu!
