Your Highness, want to run after flirting?

After Yin Ting's death, according to the laws of the Yang Kingdom, the body should be thrown into a mass grave. Because of the begging of the third prince Su Danchen, Emperor Yang finally agreed to transport the general's body back to his ancestral home for burial.

On the day of transporting the coffin, Su Danchen was dressed in white and helped the spirit see him off, all the way to the canal.

In the setting sun, I watched the boat carrying the coffin drift away along the river, and after a long time, Fang returned in silence.

The case of General Yin Ting was full of doubts, and there was a lot of discussion among the people. It is really embarrassing to talk about the heroic general who followed the emperor to fight in the battlefield and was born and died. Now he has ended up like this.

After the Korean and Chinese military officials sighed, they all cared about a very important thing.

That is the Great General Tiger Talisman.

This piece of Tiger Talisman is no small matter, it can mobilize the 1 elite troops of Yang Kingdom, and owning it means becoming the No. [-] general in Yang Kingdom.

In the past, it was General Yin Ting who kept the tiger talisman. After General Yin Ting was imprisoned, Emperor Yang took back the tiger talisman of the great general. Now that General Yin Ting is dead, I don’t know which general Emperor Yang will give this tiger talisman to. .

The hearts of the generals are about to move.

Dark waves were turbulent in the court, but Sima Li, a senior scholar in the long-ill mansion, was calm and composed, and even had the leisure to host a banquet for guests.

When Lan Ziqing received the invitation, her expression was calm, she didn't know what she was thinking, and there was a mockery in her eyes.

As for Su Danchen, although he felt that the banquet was really strange, he didn't want to disobey his grandfather, so he dragged Lan Ziqing to go out.

When he walked to the door, he stopped suddenly, turned his head and looked at the picture-like person in front of him with a pair of moist peach blossom eyes, and seemed to want to say something, but he didn't say anything, he was hesitant to speak. It's hard to stop.

Lan Ziqing's mind was so delicate, how could she not see what he wanted to say, she curled her lips and asked with a smile: "Your Highness is afraid that this banquet will not be good for the minister?"

Su Danchen looked ashamed of being poked at the center.

Although he doesn't know much about government affairs, he also understands that as a prime minister, Ziqing really doesn't have much contact with his grandfather, not to mention that his grandfather invites Ziqing to banquets again and again, maybe he has ulterior motives...

But this was the first thing my grandfather had thought about doing since he had been ill for a long time. He really couldn't bear to go against his old man's wishes.

Su Danchen was in a dilemma, so he heard Lan Ziqing say softly: "Your Highness, don't worry, it's just an ordinary banquet."

Su Danchen nodded, relieved, took Lan Ziqing's hand and continued walking outside.

As for whether this banquet was an ordinary banquet, Lan Ziqing knew it all too well.

After Yin Ting's death, the position of general was vacant, and there were three generals in the court who could be candidates for this position, namely the left general Shan Yu, the right general Mo Li, and the top general Zhao Chan.

And these three generals used to guard the border, and they were all loyal supporters of the nine princes who were demoted to guard the border.

No matter which one of them gets the tiger talisman and becomes a general, it will be an important bargaining chip in the hands of the Ninth Prince.

Seeing the prince's decline, how could he, Sima Li, watch the Ninth Prince grow up?

As Lan Ziqing expected, when Su Danchen opened the door of Tianshangju, at a glance, Sima and his party were all in line, and all the ministers got up to salute when they saw the two of them coming.

The sound of more than a dozen chairs wiping the floor sounded inconsistently.

Such a posture is not an ordinary banquet.

"Grandpa...this..."

Su Danchen frowned and looked at the officials in front of him, and then at Sima Li who came smiling.

Lord Sima glanced at him seriously, without explaining too much, turned his eyes to Lan Ziqing who was always smiling slightly, cupped his hands and said, "I am deeply honored that Lan Xiang is willing to show his face to the banquet."

Lan Ziqing smiled lightly, and said, "I heard that Master Sima is in poor health, but he's getting better recently."

Sima Li, a senior scholar, has been ignoring the government since the wind and cold, and recuperated in the mansion. Who would have thought that his condition deteriorated to the point where he was bedridden. Now, seeing his sunken eye sockets and his sick face, he is no longer the same as before. The face is full of red light and looks hale and hearty.

Presumably he is trying to support his sick body today, so he wants to hold this banquet...

Lan Ziqing sighed slightly.

"Thank you Lan Xiang for your concern, the old man is fine."

Sima Li smiled and stretched out his hand in a "please" gesture.

Lan Ziqing sat down with Su Danchen.

More than a dozen ministers surrounded Sima Li and Lan Ziqing, chatting and laughing, and the scene suddenly became lively.

Lan Ziqing always had a faint smile on her face, doing things with ease

to deal with.

Su Danchen heard that what they said were all common things in Xunyang City, and there was nothing wrong with it, so he gradually felt relieved, but he never liked this kind of scene, and he didn't talk too much, and was happy to be around , took a jug of wine and drank for himself, adding some of his favorite dishes to Lan Ziqing's bowl from time to time.

For a while, all the ministers at the banquet were talking and laughing happily, quite harmoniously.

When the atmosphere was getting better, Sima Li, a senior scholar, stood up suddenly, held up his wine glass and said to Lan Ziqing, "Chen'er is reckless in his actions, and he is always outspoken. If he has offended him, I hope the Prime Minister will forgive him."

"Grandpa, how can I have you say so badly, I clearly..."

Su Danchen opened his mouth in dissatisfaction, and wanted to say more, but was stared back by Sima Li.

Lan Ziqing's eyebrows trembled, and he said calmly: "Your Majesty Sima is worrying too much. The three highnesses are both civil and military, and have all the etiquette and righteousness. They are indeed dragons and phoenixes among people. It is Ziqing's fortune to befriend him."

Su Danchen was elated when he heard Lan Ziqing praise him so much, and couldn't help but proudly said: "Grandpa, believe me now, I really didn't cause any trouble."

Before Sima Li made a statement, a group of ministers first echoed him, saying good things about him one after another.

"The Third Highness is proficient in all kinds of martial arts, riding and shooting, and his character and appearance are even more first-rate. He can be called a young talent. No wonder he is the most favored by His Majesty among the several princes."

"Master Gao is very right. His Majesty often said that among several princes, His Highness the Third has the most majestic style of his past."

This tall man is an official promoted by Sima Lixin. After the case of buying and selling officials, the Sima clan suffered heavy losses and their power was not as good as before. Officials who had been promoted to official positions became apprentices of great scholars one after another, and Sima Li took the opportunity to cultivate many disciples.

Naturally, those who can sit at the banquet today are all powerful officials with a lot of background.

One of the officials took the words and said, seemingly true or false: "According to the officials, the position of the crown prince should really belong to a young talent like His Highness the Third Highness."

The air was silent for a moment, and soon all the ministers echoed.

Sima Li's eyes were full of light, and there was a bit of red light on his gray-yellow sick face.

Lan Ziqing's eyebrows were raised slightly, and there was an inexplicable arc on her lips, with an inscrutable look.

But Su Danchen frowned and said displeasedly: "My lords, don't joke anymore, the crown prince belongs to the East Palace, it belongs to the elder brother."

"What Your Highness said is that the crown prince has neither merit nor virtue, and only knows how to have fun all day long. The East Palace even raises dancers for money. Such lewd behavior is really unworthy of the crown prince."

After one person finished speaking, the other spoke again.

"His Royal Highness has a kind heart, and is prepared with literary and military strategies. If the crown prince belongs to His Highness, Yang Kingdom will have no worries for future generations."

Su Danchen looked surprised, "What do you mean?"

At this time, Sima Li, who was already seated, suddenly stood up again, but ignored Su Danchen, and bowed to Lan Ziqing, saying: "I think the Prime Minister understands what I mean, so I beg the Prime Minister to help me." .”

More than a dozen ministers stood up and bowed one after another, "I implore the prime minister to help me accomplish this."

The sudden change made Su Danchen's heart sink to the bottom of the valley.

Grandpa... actually had such a calculation...

But I don't want to be a prince at all...nor have I ever thought about it...

Compared to Su Danchen's panic, Lan Ziqing was calm, as if everything was clear, he glanced at the people in the room, and said calmly: "Master Sima, how do you want to help the truth?" you."

Sima Li said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty's intention to abolish the Crown Prince has been around for a long time, it's just that there is no suitable time. Lan Xiang only needs to write a memorial to impeach the Crown Prince for being cowardly and incompetent, and ask His Majesty to re-establish the Crown Prince. After that, we will have our own plan." .”

Lan Ziqing's face remained calm, and a sneer flashed in his dark eyes.

It turned out he was a target.

Master Sima, the calculation is too precise.

"Master Sima, are you not afraid that the truth will reveal that you form a clique for personal gain and have evil intentions?"

Lan Ziqing narrowed her dark eyes.

Sima Li's face turned cold, and he said: "If you talk about forming a party for personal gain, Lan Xiang is not only Chen'er's grand tutor, but has also helped out several times. Could it be that he has cleared his relationship with Sima Yi?"

"Grandpa..."

Su Danchen's soft call was completely ignored by Sima Li.

"If Xiang Lan is willing, if Chen'er ascends the great treasure in the future, he should remember the Prime Minister's first contribution, otherwise." The voice turned cold in vain, "Prime Minister is the enemy of my entire Sima clan."

"Grandpa, I don't want to be a prince."

When Su Danchen finally said this sentence, he felt that everything in front of him was extremely absurd.

When the ministers who were still persuading Lan Ziqing heard this sentence, it was as if a thunder had exploded in their ears, and they were shocked and speechless.

The few of them worked behind the scenes for a long time, but it turned out that the Lord didn't want to be the prince at all. What kind of thing is this?

All eyes were on the big scholar with a livid face.

Lan Ziqing looked at the person in front of him who was trying to pretend to be calm, and his eyes felt distressed.

Su Danchen spoke again, saying word by word: "Grandpa, I never thought of being a prince."

Sima Li gave him a hard look, "Chen'er, you are still young, and you will understand grandpa's good intentions in the future."

"Kids are ignorant, please don't mind."

"Grandpa...I..."

Seeing this scene, all the ministers thought it was just a small conflict between their grandfather and grandson, so they didn't take it to heart, and they should continue to persuade Lan Ziqing.

Sima Li ignored Su Danchen's strong will to argue, and turned to Lan Ziqing, "Mr. Lan, don't make a big mistake by making a single mistake."

"Grandpa..."

"Lan Xiang thinks twice..."

Su Danchen, who was repeatedly ignored, clenched his fists tightly, and there was obvious anger on Yinglang's face.

"presumptuous!"

With a cold drink, the air instantly quieted down, and all the ministers looked at the person who suddenly made trouble in surprise.

Sima Li and Lan Ziqing were also taken aback when they heard the voice.

Su Danchen looked at the people in the room, and said in a cold voice: "Even if the prince's behavior is wrong, he is still the prince of a country. As a minister, you talk about the prince behind his back. Don't you want the black yarn on your head, or don't you want the crown prince?" head on!

All the ministers turned pale when they heard this, and hurriedly knelt together.

Only now did they realize that even though His Highness the Third Highness is gentle by nature, he is still the son of the Heavenly Family!

"His Royal Highness calm down, I will be convicted!"

"Snapped-"

A slap rang out heavily.

The air freezes.

Five distinct finger prints appeared on Su Danchen's handsome face, which was so hot and painful.

He stared blankly at the old man in front of him who he respected and filial in every possible way.

Ears buzzing like a bee flapping its wings.

It was so noisy that he could no longer hear anyone's voice.

He was drowned in the cold and salty ocean.

The mist in Taohua's eyes is getting thicker, and before the tears fall, she rushes away from the door.

"Your Highness..."

Lan Ziqing was also shocked by the scene in front of her. After realizing it, her face darkened and her face became terribly dark. After saying a word coldly, she immediately chased out the door.

In the room, Sima Li stared blankly at his trembling hands, his eyes full of grief.
