My country, you can pinch it

As soon as this remark came out, the banquet fell silent instantly. No one was surprised that King Jing would just retreat like this, and instead recommended King Duan instead.

And when he said this, even the ministers who strongly opposed it before remained silent, and some even followed King Jing to elect King Duan, and the words he used were supported by all officials, and everyone expected them.It's okay to listen to, but it's harsh when there are too many.

The scene fell to one place in an instant. King Duan should have been happy, but for some reason, he felt a sense of shock. He couldn't help but look at King Jing. The latter even raised the wine glass in his hand and saluted with a smile. , the malicious intentions in it were not concealed.

Until his gaze met Emperor Shun, the icy coldness made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. At this moment, he suddenly understood King Jing's intention, which was to roast him on the fire!

Just when he was about to get up to plead guilty, Yang Shenxing, the chief assistant, came out and said, "Your Majesty, the veteran objected."

King Duan was supposed to blame him for this sound, but at this moment, it was like the sound of nature, making him look at the hunchbacked Yang Shenxing, full of hope, but King Jing glanced at Yang Shenxing coldly, cursing inwardly. An old man.

"This is strange, isn't Yang Aiqing the most supportive of King Duan?" Emperor Shun asked calmly.

Yang Shenxing bent down and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I don't support King Duan, but because of the New Deal, I have more contacts. I think that the New Deal is just the beginning, and it is not enough to be called an achievement. After three to five years, the people of the world will live in peace. It is really a good policy for the country and the people to have no place to starve, so it is too early to appoint a crown prince."

Emperor Shun looked at the rest of the officials playfully, "Do you agree with what Yang Aiqing said?"

At this moment, the official who jumped the highest before seemed to be aware of this strange atmosphere, and was hesitating whether to continue participating in the performance to support him, so he looked at King Duan in unison, hoping to get an instruction.

However, Emperor Shun stared at his son, making King Duan dare not move. On New Year's Eve and winter night, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

At this moment, a soldier in cold clothes hurriedly ran from far to near, shouting: "Urgent report—urgent report—" The soldiers encountered on the road gave way to him one after another, until he reached the emperor and knelt on one knee He handed over the envelope and said, "Your Majesty, the people of Yunzhou rioted, and the magistrate requested to send troops to suppress it!"

riot?People riot?

This news made everyone feel that they were hallucinating.

King Duan was still praising the peace of the world, but this urgent report of the Yunzhou riots came, which can be described as full of irony.

and……

Seeing Qin Hai submitting the urgent report to the emperor step by step, not only was Duan Wang sweating profusely on his forehead, but his back felt cool, and he wished he could faint on the spot.

Yunzhou was overwhelmed, but why did the urgent report come at this time?

He looked at King Jing again, who was looking at him with a smile, full of malice.

After all, King Duan couldn't cover the sky with one hand. With the power in King Jing's hands, he could stab him in the back like this.

Emperor Shun quickly finished reading this urgent report, and then he looked at King Duan, and said with a smile: "Second brother, if you are in a hurry to become a prince, you should wipe your ass clean, right?"

"Father, Father Emperor..." Duan Wang was so frightened that he couldn't sit still anymore, walked out of the seat, and then knelt down with a plop, "My son is guilty, my son is guilty!"

"Yang Aiqing!"

"Chen is here!"

"Didn't you say that Ximiaofa benefited the country and the people? What's going on here!" Emperor Shun didn't care about King Duan anymore, but directly threw the urgent report at Yang Shenxing's feet, and asked sharply, "You three divisions What the hell is the Department of Regulations doing!"

The official of the Third Division who was waiting to ask for credit was so frightened that his face turned ashen. Yang Shenxing walked out step by step, bent down to pick up the urgent report on the ground, lightly dusted off the dust with his hands, and then knelt down beside King Duan, Said: "I have owed the emperor's kindness, so I can go to Yunzhou if I wish to calm the matter."

Emperor Shun said coldly: "Yes! If you can't solve it, Yang Qing, you don't have to come back."

Yang Shenxing's forehead touched the cold ground, "I...take orders."

Emperor Shun then looked at the ministers who were as quiet as cicadas around him, and said loudly: "If I live forever, not overnight, nor deliberately whitewashing the peace, if someone enriches their own pockets and oppresses the people in the name of serving me and the country, I will Never spare him!" His majestic and sharp eyes stared at Duan Wang who was lying on the ground.

How beautiful the words Duan Wang said before are so ridiculous now.

"My son, my son would like to follow the teachings of my father..."

Emperor Shun was in an extremely bad mood at the moment, he glanced at all the officials one by one, and looked at King Duan with a particularly unfriendly look, "I wanted a feast in the fairyland, and it was ruined just like that." The latter was so cautious that he didn't even dare to breathe , Emperor Shun took a deep breath, stood up and said, "Back..."

However, before the palace word came out, a beam of golden light suddenly shot up in the deep night starry sky, and then after a breath of calm, huge and bright fireworks suddenly exploded with heavy thunder, and scattered like meteors trailing down!

After the fireworks, more colorful beams of light flew into the sky, and amidst the rumble of thunder, with the night as the curtain, a splendid feast of fireworks exploded.

The word "return to the palace" was contained in Emperor Shun's mouth and he couldn't say it anymore. Surprise reappeared on his uninterested face. He was amazed at the fireworks above his head. The imperial concubine could see clearly and nodded affirmatively at his son. Wang Wei hooked the corners of his lips, feeling extremely complacent.

King Duan tried his best to win over the court officials, and forced the emperor to establish a crown prince by relying on his little achievements. He only saw that he was ambitious but his methods were clumsy.

The emperor talked about Jiangshan Sheji, but in fact he didn't take it seriously at all. If he wanted the crown prince, this method was the most inferior... Thinking of this, King Jing couldn't help but look at the handsome eunuch next to Emperor Shun.

The eunuch who writes the pen is second only to the eunuch who prints the palm. He has only been in the palace for a year, but because he has served the emperor well, Zhu Yuanfeng can step down the other big eunuchs in the palace and become the object of everyone's curry favor. Even Qin Hai has to... A fearful character!Although he disdains it, he has to admit that as long as he pleases the emperor, the position of crown prince can be obtained at his fingertips, and whether he has the ability or not is not important.

He took a deep breath, looked at King Duan who had already dared not speak, and couldn't help but thank him for his accomplishment. With King Duan as a foil, he should be the one to shine tonight.

Finally, the roar gradually weakened, and the bright fireworks came to an end. Just as people lowered their necks and looked away, King Jing counted silently in his heart, and then several more vigorous sounds resounded through the sky, as if to deafen people's ears, followed by a The giant dragon is winding and floating in the air!

He saw that Emperor Shun's astonished eyes gradually became fiery and excited, and he seemed to be uncontrollably excited, and then he shouted at the right time, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live——"

"My concubine, congratulations to the emperor for enlightening the heavens and winning the divine dragon!" The exclamation of the imperial concubine and King Jing made people around them come to their senses, and they knelt down to compliment one after another, "The divine dragon has descended into the world, long live my emperor, long live, long live——"

"Good, good, good!" The three good words in a row can be said to vividly reflect the excitement of Emperor Shun. No matter whether the dragon is man-made or just a coincidence, as the real dragon emperor, he can see the dragon in the sky. On this New Year's Eve night, it can be said to be the highest praise for him.

He looked at King Jing, who looked back at him deeply with admiring eyes.

Emperor Shun instantly thought of the cute and caring aspects of this child from childhood to adulthood, and the more he looked at it, the more pleasing to the eye.Ever since King Duan took control of the New Deal, he has been promoting his supporters, but this child has never complained, and Emperor Shun suddenly wanted to make up for him.

King Duan wanted the crown prince wholeheartedly, so...

He thought for a moment, and said: "King Jing is very filial, honorable and virtuous..."

Upon hearing this, no matter whether it is the imperial concubine or the king of Jing, their hearts are like beating drums, their mouths are dry, as if all the hustle and bustle is gradually going away, they open their eyes wide and look at the ground, only wanting to hear the hopeful words. Impossible two words.

Duan Wang, who made the wedding dress for others, knelt on the ground with all the officials, his hands on both sides were tightly clenched, his face was drooping, his face was distorted, and he laughed ferociously.

King Jing ruined his good deed, do you think he has no backup?All happily too soon!

"Hereby, seal it as..."

King Jing couldn't restrain his smug smile anymore, but——

"Boom..." There was a loud noise.

The smile froze on his face instantly, he raised his head suddenly, looked towards the source of the sound, then his eyes widened, "No—"

Before Emperor Shun's will for the crown prince was finished, the man-made Tangshan not far away, which was carved with fiery trees and silver flowers, drained the dense fairy mist hot spring, was collapsing!

Smoke and dust are everywhere, and the turbid and unpleasant smell permeates. The fairyland clears away the clouds and mist, and knocks down the reality, leaving only a rotten quagmire, a mess!

Everyone looked at the collapsed hillside, and the muddy muddy water flowing out was silent for a long time.

King Jing no longer cared about Emperor Shun's face, and ran over in a hurry, but was grabbed by the guards on both sides, "Your Highness is in danger!"

"Go away!"

King Jing roared and pushed the guard away.

He had already stepped on King Duan, and with this stepping stone, he was about to get to the position he dreamed of, but all of this disappeared under the collapsed Tangshan Mountain!

Not reconciled, he wanted to know why, but at this time!

Duan Wang stood up slowly, with no expression on his face. Seeing King Jing's crazy appearance, the corner of his mouth twitched.

No one can get the position he can't get.

Suddenly someone sneezed, covered his mouth and nose, "Hey, what does it smell like, why is it so stinky?"

"It feels like something is rotten..." Before he finished speaking, he stopped talking.

Emperor Shun's face can no longer be described as ugly, it was on the verge of anger, "Go, see what happened!"

"Yes." Qin Hai took the order, and the new commander of the forbidden army immediately rushed over with a team of guards.

The torches were lit and illuminated like daytime. Just now the fireworks in the sky were so gorgeous, but now the firelight on the ground is so pale, accompanied by the smell of sulfur and decay, there is a kind of ghostly coolness.

After a while, Qin Hai came back. He glanced at the imperial concubine in embarrassment and said, "Your majesty, a corpse was found in the pond."

As soon as this remark came out, the ministers of civil and military affairs all showed astonishment, looked at each other in blank dismay, and then whispered.

"How could there be a corpse?"

"Whose?"

"Whose is important? Tangshan is for the emperor to soak in hot springs! Now there is a dead person..."

"On New Year's Eve, it's too unlucky."

……

The aura emanating from Emperor Shun's body at this moment is frightening, and the imperial concubine knelt down without saying a word: "Your Majesty, someone must be obstructing it. Lang'er stared at Xihe Garden from beginning to end, and every plant and tree in it is full of blood. He personally guarded the gate just to please the emperor. For this reason, he never closed his eyes for several days and nights. Tangshan is so important, if there is a corpse hidden in it, it would have rotted and smelled long ago. How could it suddenly appear tonight? Someone must have ulterior motives , Your Majesty, please investigate clearly! Give Lang'er justice!"

How happy he was before, how terrified he is now, the distraught King Jing also knelt on the ground, he should not think about being the crown prince now, but the corpse must not be recognized.

He looked angrily at the silent King Duan, who imitated his previous expression and also gave a malicious smile.

Immediately, he was so depressed that King Jing lost his mind. He pointed directly at King Duan and said, "Brother Duan Wang, you have a tyrannical government and you have lost your morals to your father. What do you have to do with my brother? Why did you frame me like this?"

As soon as this remark came out, all the officials looked at King Duan one after another. In fact, most people here thought the same way.

One after another tonight, it's like a romantic drama, through this Qionglouyuyu, you come and go, climax after another, amidst the bright fireworks, swords, swords and swords are like jumping clowns.

Up to now, King Duan had no thoughts, instead he calmed down, and when King Jing accused him, he couldn't help laughing and shaking his head.

"Sixth brother, I don't understand what I said. Xihe Garden has always been in your hands. Whether it's the wonderland or the fireworks today, it's the first time I've seen it. I'm very surprised. Sixth brother was so smothered before." , I am afraid that the surprise will be leaked, how do I know, and how do I arrange this matter?"

"No matter how well you hide it, you can't hide it from Sixth Brother's supernatural powers!" King Jing clenched his fists loudly.

Duan Wang replied nonchalantly: "Everyone, each other, now, instead of blaming others, the sixth brother should find out why the mountain suddenly collapsed and where the corpse came from. Don't be a craftsman who died in it accidentally, negligently Alright."

King Jing was sure that it was King Duan who did it, "You..."

"Lang'er!" The imperial concubine shook her head at him, this kind of groundless accusation without evidence would only make the emperor think it was unreasonable to make trouble, and even annoyed him even more.

King Jing closed his mouth angrily.

The so-called feng shui turns, that's it.

At this time, the investigators came back, and the new commander of the guard raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, I found an irregular crack in the back mountain, but there is no sign of man-made prying, this Tangshan seems to have collapsed due to an earthquake. "

"earthquake?"

Everyone was surprised.

"There are no earthquakes here!"

"No, the fireworks went up to the sky just now, and the sound was thunderous. It really felt like the earth was shaking, could it be..."

"Impossible!" King Jing shouted, "How could a mere fireworks collapse a mountain!"

Emperor Shun frowned, but he heard the commander of the guards continue: "In order to introduce hot spring water, Beizhi discovered that there is a hollow at the foot of the mountain, and the foundation is not stable. It is very likely that it will collapse."

"What about the corpse?" Duan Wang asked.

"This one……"

At this moment, a cry suddenly came from under the ruins: "Found it!"

As he said that, a guard rushed over, knelt on one knee in front of Emperor Shun, and presented a black tool with both hands.

"This seems to be a..." Minister of the Ministry of Industry was about to speak, but suddenly stopped.

Duan Wang looked over with a half-smile, "What's the matter, Mr. Li seems to recognize it."

Seeing Emperor Shun looking over, Minister of the Ministry of Industry said: "This seems to be a pickaxe."

"What is that?" Some ministers were puzzled.

Someone explained: "It is used for digging mountains."

"So that's the case, then this dead body is..."

"It must be a craftsman."

Suddenly, a minister suddenly said: "I know! This craftsman died for some reason. He was buried in the mountain. If Tangshan is in good condition, it will be fine. When it collapses, it will float out with the current."

"That smell..."

"It's cold in winter, so it's not easy to rot. The emperor never went to take a bath, and no one else dared to. The stench is far away, so naturally I didn't notice it, but now..."

Needless to say the rest, everyone suddenly realized that they looked at King Jing with sympathy in their eyes, singing and fighting, spending money and trying to summon the dragon, but in the end it was nothing, and even angered the emperor.

"Fortunately, the emperor didn't take a bath, otherwise this crime of blaspheming the dragon's body..."

It's disgusting to think about soaking in the hot springs of dead people.

When Emperor Shun thought of that scene, he felt nauseous in his heart, his face was as black as mud, and he didn't want to take it down anymore, he flicked his sleeves and strode away.

"Go back to the palace—" Qin Hai shouted loudly, "Hurry up, Yu Jia will follow!"

Zhu Yuanfeng naturally left with Emperor Shun, but he looked back at the Xihe Garden, which was still so beautiful except for Tangshan, and there were also people in colorful clothes and combing the flying sky, shivering in the cold weather. The court lady only felt that each and every one of them was ridiculous and illusory.
