【Xianze】Difficult to recite

The carriage passed through the heavily fortified defenses at the foot of the mountain. Under the watchful eyes of the Ouchi guards and the imperial guards, several young people from the Fan Mansion got out of the carriage and climbed up the mountain road next to the autumn stream for a long time. The waterfall that was abundant in summer suddenly saw a temple built in the style of the Qing Temple appearing in front of the crowd, appearing on the cliff carved out of the rock like an axe.

The Hanging Temple is built next to the mountain, with the wooden pillars stacked up layer by layer, and the widest part is only about Zhang Xu. It looks like a thin layer of stickers, which were pasted on the straight cliffs casually. face.The autumn wind in the mountains is very strong, whistling past, so that the viewers can't help but feel awe, and can't help worrying whether these winds will blow away the paper-like temple - it is said that this is the earliest temple in Qing Dynasty. The temple was built by the ascetic monks who believed in the temple, one brick, one stone and one wood. It took a total of hundreds of years to promote the supreme light of the temple and persuade the world to be good.

The Chrysanthemum Appreciation Conference held every three years by the royal family of the Qing Dynasty was held in the Xuankong Temple, which had become a rule.The Chrysanthemum Appreciation Conference, to a greater extent, is to harmonize the conflicts of interests among the children of the royal family and deepen mutual understanding, so as to avoid the situation where the fish dies and the net breaks. Assassinated, for a moment Qingguo was in a terrible situation of not being able to find a successor to the throne.

The royal family of the Qing Dynasty is currently underpopulated, so some in-laws and even the closest family members of the royal family will be invited to participate in the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Ceremony.According to the practice in recent years, the two pillars of the Qin family and the Ye family are naturally one of them. The Qin family has considerable strength in the army. The great master on the bright side has a somewhat detached status.

In addition, there are several old duke families who were enshrined when the country was founded. As for the Fan family being able to be among them, it is not because of the current power of the Fan family. It was because the old ancestor of the Fan family personally raised His Majesty and Prince Jing, two brothers, they were close, which is not what outsiders would say. In terms of personal relationship alone, the Fan family is the closest family in the royal family.

Fan Xian followed the Fan family up the mountain from the only mountain path. The carriages and guards stopped at the foot of the mountain, guarded by heavily fortified imperial troops, while the mountain was carefully guarded by Ouchi guards led by Gong Dian.

Except for Fan Xian, it is not the first time for the Fan family to come to the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Party, and of course he is not, but the Fan family doesn't know, Fan Ruoruo told him that the chrysanthemum appreciation event rewarded the golden chrysanthemum, it is said that after the completion of the Hanging Temple, At that time, Gen Chen, a master of Tianyi in the Northern Wei Dynasty, transplanted it here by himself, and it has been a great wonder in Kyoto ever since.

He knew that Genchen, Ku He's old bald donkey's grand master, was also Haitang Duoduo's master, and the Tiandao mental method that Haitang gave him was created by this master.Thinking of Haitang, Fan Xian suddenly missed the days of drinking with her, and wondered if there would be another chance in this life.

"Hey brother, you still let your guard follow the second prince? Is he getting promoted and getting rich?" Fan Sizhe suddenly interrupted his divergent thinking. The Second Highness, who was dressed in a fine attire, was beside Concubine Shu, and was talking to the golden eyes at the foot of the cliff.He raised his hand and tucked in his cuffs. The lock of hair on his forehead fluttered gently with the autumn wind, revealing a well-shaped forehead. On the shoulders, soon, his new guards carefully put a white mink fur coat on his shoulders, just by looking at it, it looks elegant.

The crown prince was fined and grounded because of Lin Gong's incident, and the ban has not yet been lifted. Therefore, today's gathering lacks the crown prince. The second prince should be the leader, but this person would rather be with the mother concubine than beat him. For socializing, the children of the imperial circle are like headless chickens, gathering in twos and threes, and the corner of the eye always drifts there.

"Is that the son of the Fan family?" Concubine Shu was originally a chrysanthemum admirer. To be honest, seeing this exotic chrysanthemum every three years is also tired of aesthetics. Find other people to relieve fatigue, and the young master of the Fan family, she has always wanted to meet.

Li Chengze followed his mother's gaze and looked down. Fan Xian was dressed in bright blue today, which was so bright and eye-catching amidst the overwhelming gold.That blue suits him very well, Li Chengze thought, and he said: "Mother concubine wants to see him?"

"That's natural." Concubine Shu looked at it, she thought that the characters who could write "Red Mansion" and "Climbing the High" must not be ordinary people, besides, she also wanted to see how sincere this person was towards Chengze.

"What's so difficult about this?" Li Chengze smiled, took a breath, took two steps in a flash, leaned on the railing, leaned out with the upper half of his body, and shouted towards the mountainside, "Fan Xian!——" It is long and far away, stirring in the valley, attracting everyone's attention.

Fan Xian had been paying attention to the movement there, and Li Chengze's sudden action could not be said to scare him, but it was indeed beyond his expectation.He looked up and saw that the person who was half hanging outside was waving a hand at him. Teng Zijing was so frightened that he dragged and dragged him down, but he couldn't be rough with the prince, so he saw with difficulty. .Feeling happy, Fan Xian turned his head and told Ruoruo. In the eyes of everyone, he stepped on the rocks and flew over the overhanging eaves, and flew straight to that place.

Concubine Shu saw that Teng Zijing had finally pulled him down, Li Chengze still let go of Fan Xian's approach, she covered her face with a faint chuckle, and the young master of the Fan family landed steadily on the corridor, Walked over quickly.

Li Chengze poked his head from behind Concubine Shu, and said, "Fan Xian, my mother and concubine want to see you."

"My minister pays homage to Concubine Shu." Fan Xian made a bow, "I was supposed to visit before entering the palace, but I haven't found the opportunity. I hope the empress will take care of you more."

Concubine Shu is gentle and elegant, speaking slowly: "Mr. Fan is the first time to come to the Hanging Temple this time, and it's a good season. What can you say about this beautiful scenery?"

This is to test him... Fan Xian changed his mind, and opened his mouth: "It's the eighth day of the ninth month in autumn, and I'll kill the flowers after they bloom. The sky-high fragrance penetrates the cliff, and the city is full of golden armor."

"The whole city is full of golden armor..." Concubine Shu pondered, "Little Fan Shixian really has the world in mind."

The goldenrod chrysanthemums were in full bloom all over the mountains, and the mountain wind suddenly blew even harder.

The Chrysanthemum Appreciation Party held every three years will be equipped with chrysanthemum wine, and it is time for a luncheon. The accompanying eunuchs and palace maids come up with the wine table, their toes landing, and they are extremely cautious.

All the concubines and princes in the palace sat on top, and the distant relatives and close officials sat on both sides. Emperor Qing and the queen mother sat in the middle, the eldest princess was next to the queen mother, and the queen was next to the emperor.

This time without the fire jointly set off by Chen Pingping and Fan Jian, Fan Xian would not go looking for bad luck in front of Emperor Qing, he wanted to hide as far away as possible, so as not to be exposed again. He wrote the identity of the stone.He could hide, but Li Chengze couldn't. The crown prince was not there, and the second prince's desk was placed in the place closest to the emperor and empress. Li Chengze felt that even the chrysanthemum wine was not beautiful.

But fortunately, today's highlight is not wine tasting.

The marriage between the First Prince and Princess Dongyi was basically settled, and while all the clan members were around to announce the decree, he was originally staying out of the matter, picking up the shredded potatoes from the cold dish in front of him, but the Queen Mother actually opened her mouth and set the fire on him. The queen mother has never been very close to him, the second prince, why did she think of connecting him with the Ye family today... Li Chengze couldn't help but glance at the eldest princess at the side, and felt a chill in his heart at that reciprocal smile.He couldn't object clearly yet, Ye Zhong was a piece of soldering iron that the emperor wanted to give to him, and at this moment the chopsticks didn't taste good, so he had to drag them.

In the midst of singing and dancing, Prime Minister Lin stood up muran, and Li Chengze looked at the Emperor Lao Tzu who was a step away, behind the wine glass, slightly twitching the corners of his mouth, and he put down the glass, majestic and intimidating: "What's the matter, Prime Minister Lin?"

"The old minister's family has grievances, and I hope His Majesty will regard the veteran's contribution to the Qing Dynasty and make the decision for the old minister."

This turned the family banquet into a courtroom, and there was unavoidable whispering among the people, and the royal family discussed gossip, but there was nothing wrong with the folks.Everyone turned their eyes to the eldest princess, trying to see something from her face.

"Let's hear it, Prime Minister Lin has been a country all his life, and I and the Queen Mother will make decisions for you."

"Sir, thank you for your grace." Lin Ruofu bowed, straightened up, and pointed to the side of the throne with a thunderous voice, "The old minister's daughter was not born weak but was poisoned by an adulterer. It has lasted for more than ten years! This person has been malicious and plotted for a long time, and Wan'er is still young to kill him next time. He really does not deserve to let down the holy family, and please His Majesty punish him severely!"

Everyone in the audience knew about Lin Wan'er's illness, but upon hearing this, the expression on her face became subtle. Lin Xiang's words were convincing, and she didn't look suspicious, and everyone knew about Lin Xiang's iron-blooded deeds.Besides, whoever made the attack, even the people who had doubts at first, looked up and it was clear at a glance.

"Oh? It's so evil, has Prime Minister Lin found out who it is?"

Everyone scolded in their hearts at the same time, the face of the person next to you turned pale, and his hands shook like a sieve.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the sinner who killed the little girl is the crown prince's biological mother, the queen of the dynasty."

"You're talking nonsense!" The woman in a fine attire had a pale face, her upper lip gritted her lower teeth, "Master Lin! I have never offended you, and I even treat Princess Chen as my own child. Why did you frame me like this? "

"Empress, do you really want the old minister to present the evidence?" Lin Ruofu was unyielding and fearless, he shook his head, "It's not pretty, I don't want to make such a big fuss."

"I'm afraid there isn't one!" The queen calmed down a bit, "Your Majesty is clearly aware that my concubine has been wronged."

"Did you hear that, the empress said she was wronged!" Emperor Qing nodded and waved, "Then let's present it for a look."

There was a row of people from the hospital kneeling on the ground.

Lin Ruofu mourned: "The little girl is kind-hearted. The matter has been exposed and she begged the old minister. The imperial doctor is innocent and hopes to forgive him. But in the eyes of the old minister, why did the imperial hospital treat the little girl for many years, but no one found anything strange?"

Emperor Qing also followed his train of thought to question the crime, and casually nodded the lowest one: "Yes, Imperial Physician Hu, you are the golden signboard of our imperial hospital, why can't you make a diagnosis? Is it because the imperial hospital's salary is too low?"

"I deserve death for my crimes!" The old doctor Hu knocked his head to the ground, trembling, "Master Chen was diagnosed and treated by me when she was young, and I have been doing my best to keep her healthy, but any kind of medicine is right for you." The princess is useless and the minister is also puzzled! I didn't go into it because the queen mother said at the beginning... the princess is a phoenix, and it is not suitable to contact outsiders. Diagnosis and treatment can only be done by checking the pulse, how can the minister know!"

This is a good reason, neither is it a death order, even if the incident happens, there is no need to kill people to silence it, at most, it is a crime of doing bad things with good intentions.

Sure enough, the queen didn't recognize it: "Your Majesty, the concubine said this, what's wrong?"

"Well, Prime Minister Lin, what the queen said is right, why is there anything wrong?" Emperor Qing threw the blame on Lin Ruofu again.

"Based on this, of course it won't work, but the Empress Dowager thinks that the person who poisoned him has been dealt with cleanly?"

That person should have been dead for more than ten years.

The queen's heart skipped a beat, Lin Ruofu's eyes were too frightening, she didn't even have anything to rely on when the crown prince wasn't here today.Lin Wan'er is the queen mother's granddaughter and the eldest princess' daughter. These two people who usually stand with her will never help her today. Even if they only have doubts, maybe they want her dead more than Lin Ruofu. She only has your majesty up.

"I don't understand what Lin Xiang is saying!"

"I'll understand." Lin Ruofu beckoned again, and a person who was carried in all over his body in bandages reminded everyone present of a person, Guo Baokun, who was punched black by Fan Xian. It can be seen that this was used as a joke in Kyoto Wide spread.Fan Xian glanced at it, and knew that this person would only hurt more than Guo Baokun.

"Is this the person who poisoned you?" Emperor Qing asked.

"The poison in the little girl's body is poison or not. To be more precise, it's Gu art, and this person is a Gu master from Nanyue. I don't know if the Queen Mother can remember that 15 years ago, there was a New Year celebration in the palace. A troupe from South Vietnam performed an excerpt at the banquet.”

The empress dowager's heart was burning, and she recalled after hearing this: "Indeed, there was. Aijia remembers that Chen'er was very happy at that time, and got a candied haws...is that candied haws?"

"This Gu species does not respond to dead things, but it is planted in living things and erodes the mind over time. The host will not live past 20 years old." Lin Ruofu was about to cry as he spoke, pointing at the disabled person on the ground, and said angrily, "Queen! The poison will not be released immediately, you can't even wait for this person to return to South Vietnam, you have to kill him within the Qing Kingdom!"

"Impossible! He had died at that time!" The queen's eyes widened, and she excitedly overturned the table in front of her. Only when she realized something was wrong when she spoke, she was stunned in horror.

Emperor Qing's eyes swept over slowly, full of cold playfulness.

"That's right, your subordinates waited until this man died before burying him, but you forgot, he is a Gu master! He deceived your eyes by putting life and death Gu on himself, and it was only because of the backlash that he became a Gu master." This person looks neither human nor ghost!"

She couldn't listen to what Lin Ruofu was saying, and the queen fell to the ground in a daze.

...Your Majesty...Your Majesty already knew!

"Queen, do you have anything else to say?"

Emperor Qing was aloof and gave her the last bit of mercy and decency. She is the crown prince's biological mother. After today, the crown prince will have another mother.

The queen calmed down and smiled miserably above the hall.She loved this man, but because of this man, she didn't look like herself. She became a knife in his hand because of jealousy. She killed an amazing and talented woman. Her father, mother, and brother All the sisters died because of this, and she even tampered with a child, all of which was retribution.She became a queen, and there was no one behind her. Her son was the prince, but he never took a second look.

Why do you ask?

"Yes." The Queen murmured with a pale face, "Your Majesty doesn't want to know, why do my concubines do this?"

In fact, Emperor Qing had no interest, the harem was jealous, and it was true that the Empress and the Eldest Princess were not in harmony.He did know that the queen's move was checked by Chen Pingping back then, but he could help him restrain Lin Ruofu, so he followed her, and Lin Ruofu found out. Among them, the role played by the inspection institute is worthwhile. It's fun.Most of his thoughts were drifting this way, and he didn't care much about what the queen said.

The queen laughed, she was going to die, her man, her majesty, didn't want to put her mind on her.

She hates it so much.

"Because of Li Yunrui! The eldest princess! She seduced my son! Confused and become the crown prince! Your Majesty, do you think I am doing it for myself?!"
