【Xianze】Difficult to recite

Said it was a family banquet, the sons of Emperor Qing, except for the eldest prince who went to Dongyi City to marry the princess, are all ready today.

There was a small table on the roof. When Fan Xian and Li Chengze arrived, the crown prince was already sitting upright, and the third child on the other side was far away from him, digging the corner of the table without saying a word. The atmosphere looked quite strange.

Seeing them coming, Li Chengping liberated his instincts, got up, respectfully called his second brother, and turned to Fan Xian, awkwardly called his cousin.Concubine Yigui and Aunt Liu are biological sisters, and Fan Xian has a biological father with him. The difference in life is so big that he can't change it all at once.Now that this family has invited Fan Xian to the banquet, the royal father is thinking of recognizing his ancestors and returning to his clan.

Li Chengze took the initiative to sit opposite the prince, Fan Xian could only lean on his side, next to the third child, Li Chengping moved his seat pitifully, and got next to the prince again.Ever since the queen passed away, the elder brother of the crown prince has talked very little. He doesn't speak unless necessary. He looks gloomy and unpleasant.

"How is the prince?" Li Chengze was bored, hoping to pass the time by bickering with Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian didn't respond, he took a sip of tea and turned his head to look at the scenery.Li Chengze asked suspiciously: "Are you dumb? I remember that Father broke your leg and didn't cut your tongue. Could it be that I remembered wrongly?"

The crown prince's hand holding the teacup trembled, his legs had just recovered to the point where he could walk. On the day Li Yunrui was almost strangled to death in Guangxin Palace, his legs were severely broken.

"Second brother knows everything, and is very well-informed."

"Who will let me be free? It's not like the prince who takes care of everything every day."

Li Chengqian put down his teacup, "Second Brother will take care of everything for me, so I feel very relieved."

"That's good. I thought His Royal Highness always regarded me as a roadblock."

"Not all broken rocks can block the way."

Li Chengping saw that the rapid heating up of the atmosphere was not right, but Fan Xian, who was sitting next to him, calmly started peeling peanuts amidst such arguing, which made him feel that he shouldn't make a fuss, and his heart was calm.Over time, he found that Fan Xian liked to twist off the red clothes outside, and he couldn't keep any of them. He followed suit, reaching out and grabbing a handful of peanuts.Fan Xian amusedly watched him painstakingly peel off the shells, which were covered in crumbs, and casually peeled a few grains and threw them into his bowl.Li Chengping was wrestling with the peanut shells, when he suddenly saw the peeled nuts, he raised his head and blinked at him.Nothing happened to Fan Xian, he continued to peel himself, Li Chengze knocked on the table with his index finger upside down, Fan Xian peeled off a handful of red clothes and patted it on his hand.

They sat and cracked peanuts for a long time, and the small table was almost piled up into a hill, so Emperor Qing came late.As soon as they stood up to salute, Emperor Qing asked them to sit down again. They were full of chewing peanuts, and they had no appetite for the table full of dishes that Lu Lu brought up one after another.

"What are you doing in a daze, move your chopsticks." Emperor Qing sat with his back facing the sun, "Today is a family banquet, so don't be cautious."

Although Fan Xian's identity had been widely known three months ago, the emperor said so with different weight.The prince lowered his eyes, and the leafy vegetables caught on the chopsticks trembled and fell off.

"If you are weak, you should make up more." Emperor Qing said, he personally clamped a pig's trotter for the prince.

"Yes, the prince is just recovering from a serious illness, so he needs to make up for it."

It's good that Li Chengze didn't talk to each other, but if he did, he was targeted.

"Second brother, don't just focus on eating meat. If you are angry, you have to clear your lungs. Come on, eat more grass."

"... "

Seeing Li Chengze slumped, Fan Xian spit out the food in his mouth laughingly, and then he was stiff when he saw the old fox opposite him turn his gaze over.

"Fan Xian, can you just grill the rice? Would you like me to add some ingredients for you?"

"Cough cough cough..." What to add?Fan Xian was vigilant, thinking that there must be something good to say, so he didn't think about what it was, and refused again and again, "Your Majesty, you don't need it! I'm full!"

Emperor Qing curled his mouth and smiled: "Ask them what they call me." He also called a name, who had been shrunk since just now, trying to lower his sense of existence, "Third brother, tell me."

"Father... Emperor..." He spoke in such a low voice that his little face was buried in the rice bowl.

"Didn't eat?" Emperor Qing snorted, "I think you are the only one who is still thinking about eating!"

Li Chengping didn't swallow or spit out for a while, he felt bitter haha, didn't you let us move the chopsticks, it's too hard to move the chopsticks without moving the mouth.

Fan Xian helped him share part of the firepower, scratched his head, and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to call me that!"

"It's okay, you have a thick skin." Emperor Qing said casually, and now he also picked up his chopsticks and picked up two small dishes to taste, "Fan Shangshu resigned yesterday and is going back to Danzhou. I haven't visited for a long time. Guomu, I plan to go and have a look together, and sacrifice to heaven by the way."

"Father, isn't there a Qing Temple in Kyoto?" Li Chengping said quickly, Danzhou was an extremely remote and wild place to him, like another world.

Li Chengze explained to him: "There is a Dadong Mountain on the coast of the East China Sea. The sacrificial temple in the western suburbs you know is called Xiaodong Mountain. It is just a small hill. Some folk gods enjoy worship there and are somewhat famous, but it is not the same as Dadong Mountain. It pales in comparison. After the Northern Expedition brought down this place, the father built another sacrificial temple on Dadong Mountain that was several times larger than that in Beijing, and the incense is still burning."

It is said that one side of Dadongshan is green and the other side is white, and the two sides are decorated with this completely different color, just like a piece of emerald that turns from green to light, extremely beautiful.Of course, it is most famous not only for its unworldly scenery, but also for the world's most perfect jade produced in this mountain.The Qing Kingdom built temples here, and mining jade was strictly prohibited, so there are only stocks of Dongshan jade in the market now, and the price can scare people to death.

Emperor Qing rarely expressed his appreciation: "You know a lot."

"The majesty of the father, the ministers must remember it in their hearts." Li Chengze maintained a perfect smile on his face, "It's just that it's so good, why didn't the father travel thousands of miles to worship the heavens?"

Emperor Qing sighed.

Here comes the point.Fan Xian also sighed in his heart, the name is to worship the sky, but in fact he wants to force his son to go to Liangshan.

"Menxia Zhongshu impeached the prince for being unethical, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate also handed over the papers today." Emperor Qing said in a normal way, "Prince, the ministers all said that you were influenced by the former empress, and that you are unworthy of virtue, so it is difficult to accept it." Datong, what do you think I should do?"

This one is actually very simple.

The public opinion offensive against the prince was first, and the governor of Qidalu wrote a letter later, and some courtiers came out to accuse the prince of being immoral and unbearable to inherit the country. In the end, the emperor was in a dilemma.

And he gathered all his heirs here to tell them that the seat is about to change. From now on, no matter who they are, they will have equal opportunities, whether they are descendants of the first son or concubine, or the prince on the surface. It doesn't matter whether it's an illegitimate child, it's all the same, anyone can fight, anyone can fight, the louder the noise, the better, and it doesn't matter if there's a river of blood.

The prince's face was pale, but he didn't seem surprised by this result, the emperor's anger would never pass, and he had to pay the price.

"Do you think Li Chengqian will do it?"

Li Chengze asked Fan Xian.

"Yes." Fan Xian shook his head, "He has nothing to be afraid of."

Perhaps Li Yunrui had anticipated this, and had given Li Chengqian the power of the Junshan Society before he left the capital. There was also the Qin family in the capital who were dissatisfied with the emperor asking him to take the blame, so he had sufficient conditions to launch a mutiny.Without the empress, without the position in the East Palace, without Li Yunrui, he had nothing to lose.

As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes, that's the reason.As for the emperor, if he wanted to justify his actions and abolish the prince, he would not be able to stop the people talking by offering sacrifices to the heavens alone. Rebelling against the prince happened to be the most appropriate reason.

Only this time, it may not be as good as the emperor thought, killing two birds with one stone.On Dadong Mountain, on the one hand, Uncle Wu Zhu was not recuperating, and on the other hand, both Ku He and Si Gu Jian already knew Emperor Qing's hole cards, he was the Grand Master, and Hong Sixiang was just a cover.With Ye Liuyun added, a decent two-on-two would definitely not lose much.

Thinking of this, Fan Xian smiled relaxedly, and suggested, "Shall we go to Danzhou while your majesty is here, and let's sneak out of Beijing to have fun?"

"where to?"

"where do you want to go?"

Jiangnan, Dali, Northern Qi, Shangjing, Dongyi, Xihu, he wanted to go everywhere. If the emperor hadn't gone to Danzhou, Li Chengze would also like to see the distant coast of the East China Sea.

"Let's go to Dongyi City first." Li Chengze said, "See if that tree is still there."

Fan Xian raised his eyebrows at him, and said with a smile that the big green tree was two circles older than the two of us, and the ants living under the tree had changed dozens of stubbles.He asked if you want to say goodbye to Concubine Shu.

Li Chengze shook his head, saying goodbye to never see each other again.

Hearing what he said, Fan Xian looked down at his toes for a while, and seeing that he was suddenly depressed, Li Chengze pulled his arm.

"what happened?"

Like a year ago, outside Prime Minister Lin's Mansion, Fan Xian met his eyes with heavy tiredness, and at that time he couldn't understand the deep meaning in it.Li Chengze was stung without any omissions again, he was sorry.

He said Fan Xian, I will never say goodbye to you again.
