The Devil's Coming [Quick Transmigration]

The winter solstice is the day with the shortest day and the longest night of the year. After the winter solstice, the days get longer and the nights get shorter. The ancients called the winter solstice a day when Yang Qi is generated and it is auspicious. There is also a folk saying that "the winter solstice is as big as the new year". On the day of the winter solstice, even if the family is poor, they still prepare new clothes and food, and offer sacrifices and celebrations.

The whole city of Shangjing was celebrating.

A grand banquet was held in the palace as in previous years. The royal family members, court officials, and even their families were all fortunate enough to go to the palace to attend the banquet and enjoy themselves with the emperor.

Although the palace banquet is lively, it is not as comfortable as at home. Every move is watched by someone, and you must always pay attention to your words and deeds, lest you break the rules and offend the emperor. For everyone, it is actually better to have a meal at home as a family. . But on the surface, you still have to look honored and thank the emperor for his kindness. For people who attend the Winter Solstice Banquet every year, it is really a boring process.

But this year is different.

Because the famous prince of Wei Guogong was going to attend with Wei Guogong, this made the palace banquet in the eyes of many people suddenly full of stormy atmosphere. Passers-by who are keen on eating melons are looking forward to the Winter Solstice Feast like never before.

When the day came, the scene did not disappoint them. As soon as Wei Guogong Xu Qian appeared, countless pairs of eyes looked over. Everyone's eyes fell on the handsome young man in red behind Xu Qian with a bright smile.

Except for the curiosity of passers-by, 90% of the other eyes were filled with resentment, hostility, dissatisfaction, and scrutiny.

——Who allowed 99% of the people here to read "Secrets of Shangjing" and be stripped clean by this prince?

It is not an exaggeration to say that the entire palace is filled with his enemies.

As if he was unaware of the strange atmosphere, the young man in red walked into the hall with a bright smile. He looked around with open eyes, and his tone was even more innocent:

"What is everyone looking at me for?"

The scene was quiet for a moment, and no one spoke to answer this unreliable question - What are you doing? Are you unaware of what you did before? You dare to appear in front of everyone after offending so many people. You are really not afraid of being beaten by a group!

Someone couldn't help but snorted: "The palace has its own rules, but don't bring in the habits developed in the countryside."

This statement did not mention anyone by name, but it is no different from naming someone by name. Who doesn’t know the life experience of the prince of Wei State? He is the only one who can be considered as "coming from the countryside, with no rules and regulations."

Before Su Ying could say anything, Wei Guogong Xu Qian had a serious face: "Master Li has the best rules, it must be his family background."

The person opposite immediately turned blue. Who doesn’t know that his father spoiled his concubines and destroyed his wives, and that he himself was also a concubine? When did this guy surnamed Xu start to gossip?

His voice suddenly felt as if it was frozen: "I don't dare to take it seriously. I heard that the prince of your house is keen on market rumors, enjoys writing scripts, and is ashamed to read. This is Wei Guogong's negligence. Only by reading can you know etiquette and rules. Parents My beloved son has a far-reaching plan, and Duke Wei should think carefully about it!"

Good guy, I scolded both Wei Guogong and his son in one breath. The son is uneducated and does not know etiquette and rules. The father is indulgent and has no way of teaching his son. It is the fault of the son not to teach his father.

Of course Xu Qian also knew that it was right for his son to study and make progress. But his son has been living abroad for many years, and he has no shame in forcing his son to do anything. He just hopes that he will be safe and happy. As for the release of "Secrets of Shangjing" that offended so many people, didn't Xu Qian know that this was bad? But with the emperor hinting and encouraging behind his back, what could he do? He wanted to pretend to be confused and pull his son out of the fire pit, but he discovered that Li Mingjin in the prison had a suspicious background. He was probably the son of the kings. He had been raised in their family for so many years. If the emperor found out, he would suspect that they had something to do with the kings. , that’s hard to explain. At such a moment, the Xu family can only continue to follow the emperor unswervingly and find ways to show their loyalty to the emperor, so that even if Li Mingjin's life experience is exposed, he will not be implicated. In this case, the emperor supported and encouraged the "Secrets of Going to Beijing", how could he stop his son from doing it?

For this reason, it doesn't matter even if he is hated by the whole dynasty now. At least he has established the character of a loyal minister to the emperor. Any emperor will like such a character. As long as he doesn't offend the next emperor, the new emperor will not offend the Xu family.

Although he thought so in his heart, Xu Qian couldn't bear it when someone accused his son of being rude and unruly.

He immediately started a verbal spat with the other party.

Xu Qian, who once served as the prince's companion in the upper study room, was no ordinary martial artist, but a talented man with both civil and military skills. In a war of words, he was no worse than a professional censor. In addition, the opponent's posture was not upright and he was covered in stains. He was able to hit every target accurately. It didn't take long for him to retreat in front of Xu Qian.

Su Ying looked at the scene in front of him with curiosity, admiring it and regretting at the same time: He was obviously the protagonist of the topic, but Xu Qian was directly involved, and there was no room for him to show off?

——In ordinary people's logic, all these troubles are actually caused by Su Ying. If he hadn't opened a bookstore and published storybooks to cause trouble everywhere, the Xu family would still be the stable Wei Guogong Palace, and they would not be full of dynasties. They are all enemies. But no one in the Xu family ever blamed him.

——Is this the original owner who willingly handed over this body to him, and whose only wish was to protect his family in peace?

Su Ying withdrew his gaze and raised a smile at the corner of his mouth.

"...I have to say, it's quite decent."

Xu Qian was good at verbal battles, but he had more than one opponent. After the first one was defeated, others entered the battlefield one after another, with all kinds of weirdness.

For a moment, he was a little overwhelmed.

Today was the Winter Solstice Banquet, and this place was the imperial palace. Although the emperor and empress had not arrived yet, everyone should not lose their composure like this. But who made Su Ying have too much hatred? Seeing his leisurely smile, people were furious.

Just verbal sarcasm, rather than rushing up to fight, was already a result of considering that the court should not lose its manners.

So, a bunch of Ming Dynasty sarcasm and weirdness came to the face. Mainly around Su Ying and his "Secrets of Shangjing".

They spoke one after another, with great emotion--

"The prince is really amazing. The "Secrets of Shangjing" has become famous in a short time and is now sold outside Shangjing." "These stories are fictitious, but there are many ignorant people in the world who prefer to believe them. And the farther the story spreads, the more outrageous the facts become. I heard from people below that there are people in remote areas who actually believe the story that has been distorted countless times, thinking that the court is full of corrupt officials, the princes and ministers are all incompetent, and there are also unscrupulous people who use this to deceive the people to rebel." "From this point of view, the stories are very harmful to people!"

-In this case, Su Ying, who created these stories that are very harmful to people, is not harboring evil intentions?

-The people who read his stories dared to rebel against the court, so what crime should the creator of the stories be punished?

The subtext here was understood by everyone present.

Only the protagonist seemed to have not heard the connotation at all, and only understood the literal meaning. Su Ying only raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise: "Can "Secrets of Shangjing" have such an effect?"

There was a bit of interest in his surprise, as if he had discovered an interesting additional product during the game.

Everyone suspected that there was something wrong with their ears.

No way? There shouldn't be someone who was almost accused of being a traitor with evil intentions, and still think the matter is interesting? There won't be such a big-hearted person in the world, right?

So they really misheard his tone!

Maybe because this person is so hateful in their hearts, so they heard his shocked and panicked tone as interest?

It's so uncomfortable to be sarcastic for a long time but hit a soft nail. It's so uncomfortable to say bad things for a long time, but people don't understand the subtext at all. Isn't it frustrating?

Could it be... this guy is deliberately pretending to be stupid? People who think like this speak even more ruthlessly: "The prince is really in a good mood. He is still thinking about the storybook at this time. I wonder if His Majesty will think more highly of the prince if he knows that "Secrets of Shangjing" has such a skill?"

Faced with such obvious gloating and ridicule, Su Ying stood up and left the table with great interest: "I didn't expect everyone to be so interested in "Secrets of Shangjing". Fortunately, I had foresight and happened to bring the latest issue of "Secrets of Shangjing" with me. I originally planned to give it to His Majesty for appreciation... Since everyone is so interested, it's better to share the joy with others than to enjoy it alone."

Say this with an inexplicable proud tone, and somehow a stack of pamphlets appeared in his hand. He came to everyone and distributed them one by one: "Come on, everyone, don't be polite. This is the latest issue that has just been released. It hasn't been released to the public yet. It's your luck to be able to see it first~"

Before they could react, everyone was confused by a pamphlet stuffed in their hands: "???"

What is this doing? !

Is it because they can't hear the dissatisfaction in everyone's words, and they use this clumsy way to please people... Or is it that the content of this storybook is full of slander against them, and this is a deliberate provocation to their face!

——No matter how you think about it, this is a deliberate provocation!

Only people from the countryside would use such a trick that can't be put on the stage to provoke. No matter how outrageous the content of the storybook is, they will not fall into the other party's trick and lose their manners in the palace!

Sneer in their hearts, some people open the booklet readily.

After reading the first few lines, they found that it was another series of articles about the fake prince, not the content that slandered them. Many people didn't realize it themselves, and they had subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

After reading the beginning, well, it's a bit interesting, let's read it down!

The series of articles about the fake prince is indeed interesting. Anyway, the emperor hasn't come yet, and the palace banquet hasn't officially started. Everyone is bored sitting here, so why not read the storybook to kill time.

Unconsciously, they read page after page.

Suddenly, someone's fingers trembled uncontrollably, and his face turned pale, looking like a sudden illness. Soon, the second, third, fourth... more and more people showed similar "symptoms".

Snap, snap.

The trembling fingers loosened completely, and the booklet in his hand fell to the ground with a snap. At some point, everyone's face turned pale.

Only Duke of Wei Xu Qian, who was uncomfortable with playing the villain in the fake prince series, sat steadily.

Looking at the scene of everyone "getting sick" collectively, he typed a question mark: "?"

"What's going on? Isn't the new story exciting?" The older child next to him asked the question in his heart in a more confused tone than him.

Su Ying's voice woke everyone up.

The people who came back to their senses looked at him with horror.

Several angry clan elders stood up and pointed at Su Ying with trembling hands:

"How could you--"

"Mad man! Really crazy!"

"It is unsightly to look at! Treasonous and treasonous!! Traitors and thieves!!!"

Seeing that everyone's faces were either angry or frightened, and even words like "treason" were used, Xu subconsciously realized that something was wrong. He suddenly looked at Su Ying, who looked innocent next to him: What on earth is written in this booklet? Does it involve the Holy One?

Before he could ask, a burst of noise suddenly came from not far away, and faint shouts and screams could be heard.

Everyone who was trying to take Su Ying down for questioning suddenly turned their heads and looked in the direction of the sound.

That was the Qianning Hall where the emperor lived on weekdays. Under the night, the flickering firelight and human figures can be faintly seen.

A bad premonition suddenly came to mind, causing the expressions on their faces to change, and some started to whisper.

"...Could something happen to His Majesty?"

Just as they were guessing, there was a noise around them. Suddenly, a group of palace guards rushed out, like a sudden hurricane. They surrounded everyone with a "hurrah", and the bright swords and guns were reflected in the palace lanterns. Under the light, shadows are cast on everyone's face.

Everyone's hearts suddenly sank heavily.

Under the cold scrutiny of a group of wolf-like and tiger-like guards, no one dared to say a word. Even the "loyal minister" who had just attempted to physically eliminate Su Ying, a rebellious and rebellious minister, chose to remain silent for the sake of his own life.

Even the guards guarding the palace were dispatched. A shocking incident must have occurred in the palace, and no one wanted to be involved in this turmoil.

But there are some things that they can't avoid if they want to.

"Master Zhang, Master Li, Prince Qinghe..." Soon, a guard leader came out. Looking around, he picked out several important ministers and respected clan elders one by one, and gave orders, "Follow me." Let me go."

"But His Majesty summoned us? I wonder what's important?"

Some people trembled and plucked up the courage to test it out.

The leader waved his hand impatiently and signaled to his men: "What nonsense? Why don't you take them away quickly!"

With such an attitude, anyone can tell that something is wrong.

Several people who were already unhappy became more and more resistant. It's a pity that everything is not up to them. As soon as the leader spoke, a group of guards swarmed forward, grabbing several people as easily as chickens, pressing them down and taking them away by force.

"etc."

A voice suddenly sounded.

Before everyone heard the sound and looked around, Su Ying had already taken the initiative to stand up and said loudly: "I want to go too."

His cheerful tone was as if he was going to a banquet, full of impatience: "Add me, add me!"

——How could such a fun thing happen without him? !

The expression on the leader's face when he looked at him was particularly wonderful, like surprise, shock, and a bit of admiration. Perhaps he didn't expect that someone would be so loyal to the emperor and would go there regardless of the possible dangers? You may also be thinking that there are such fools who cannot see the situation clearly. Do you think it is a good thing to follow them?

Wei Guogong Xu Qian stood up immediately: "I will come too." He glared at his restless son, but said nothing else. Whether it was for the safety of his own son, the safety of the emperor to whom he had been loyal for half his life, or the future of the entire Xu family, he would not sit here and wait for the dust to settle. He never lacks the courage to take a chance.

Such statements by the two people immediately made others very embarrassed - just now they were denouncing the traitors and traitors, but when His Majesty seemed to be in danger, each of them tried to save their lives, but it was the traitors and traitors they said took the initiative to put themselves in danger?

The eyes they looked at the Xu family's father and son were filled with resentment.

If everyone chooses to stay here, no one can make mistakes afterwards. After all, they are surrounded by bright swords and guns, and they have no choice but to be coerced! But once someone braves life and death and faces difficulties, they remain firm, which makes them extraordinarily cowardly, cowardly, and afraid of death. If nothing happens to the emperor in the future, they will be the ones in trouble.

In this case, it's better to go for it. There are so many relatives and ministers of the imperial court. Even if something happens in the palace, no crazy person will raise a butcher's knife against them, right?

Thinking of this, they spoke reluctantly.

Suddenly, one after another "impassioned" voices sounded in unison: "Add me one more." "I'll go too!" "His Majesty has not shown up for a long time, and all the officials are in panic. They have no intention of having a feast here. They just want to see you. Tianyan.”

The historian in the corner was writing furiously while sighing: We have a great Qi Dynasty, and we have so many loyal ministers and filial sons!

Then he also shouted: "I want to go too!"
