wait for me to be king

During the New Year's feast, Emperor Xuanming drank a little too much.

Headed by the crown prince, the courtiers of the clan took turns to toast to His Majesty and congratulate the New Year.

The emperor was dizzy from drinking, and Empress Li sat aside and whispered to the waiter to replace the wine with hangover soup.

So Emperor Xuanming drank for a while, and slowly became sober again.

After waking up, Emperor Xuanming found that the prince was holding back the wine for him. His heart warmed up, and Queen Li's gentle voice came from his ear, "Yuan'er was worried about your majesty's health, so he congratulated you on your behalf. Don't blame Yuan'er." .”

Emperor Xuanming was silent for a moment, his words were a bit harsh, can the emperor who accepts the congratulations of all officials be replaced by others?

Emperor Xuanming sighed softly, concealed the discomfort in his heart, and said with a smile, "Yuan'er has grown up."

Qi Yuan apologized, "Father, in front of you, my son will never grow up."

Emperor Xuanming shook his head with a smile. It happened that it was the turn of the six ministers to come to congratulate him. Xie Changfeng had the lowest qualifications. He stood obediently at the end and kowtowed to toast with everyone.

Emperor Xuanming first said a few words to the oldest Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and then chatted with each other one by one. When Xie Changfeng arrived, Emperor Xuanming remembered the grand occasion of today's celebrations from all over the world, and couldn't help but encourage him, "I let you out a few years ago. You did a good job letting go of your hands and feet, but you are not too young, you should gradually calm down and stop being impulsive."

What he said was not like the emperor, but an elder's instruction, and the other ministers couldn't help but tremble in their hearts. It seems that Xie Changfeng deserves His Majesty's heart!

Empress Li laughed lightly, "Your Majesty is right. General Xie broke Linyi and opened up the territory for our Chu Dynasty. It is really a great achievement. Why doesn't Your Majesty reward you?"

"Isn't he already a Shangshu?" Emperor Xuanming chuckled, "How old is he, young people still need to sharpen themselves."

Empress Li smiled and shook her head, "Your Majesty, General Xie was from the third rank before returning to court. This can only be regarded as mediocrity, not a reward!"

Emperor Xuanming glanced at Empress Li indifferently, and the smile on Empress Li's face froze immediately. Emperor Xuanming looked at Qi Yuan who was smiling as if he hadn't heard anything, and finally at Xie Changfeng in front of him. The horns are slightly raised, revealing a wonderful smile.

"Since the queen said so, then... Xie Changfeng, what reward do you want?" Emperor Xuanming carefully observed the expression on Xie Changfeng's face, and changed his voice, "How about making you a Marquis?"

To be honest, the credit for opening up the frontiers and lands is indeed enough to be a marquis. When Emperor Xuanming said this, he already had a warning tone, but Xie Changfeng jumped three feet high after hearing this.

"You want to make me a marquis?"

The expressions of Emperor Xuanming and Crown Prince Qi Yuan were subtly synchronized at this moment. Even Qi Yuan didn't know what kind of reaction Xie Changfeng would have. His palms were slightly sweating. go back!

Emperor Xuanming's eyebrows were raised high, he remembered the fate of being choked when talking to Xie Changfeng a few times before, the corners of his mouth twitched subconsciously, "Why, don't you want it?"

Xie Changfeng looked at Emperor Xuanming seriously, "You have made me a marquis now, and when I go to the battlefield in the future, how do you plan to make me a marquis?"

... so arrogant! !

But Emperor Xuanming was silent, he remembered that Xie Changfeng said with pride before that he had planned how to attack Nanzhao, how to send troops, how to march...

Slightly heartbroken ==

Emperor Xuanming looked at Xie Changfeng speechlessly, and when he thought that if Xie Changfeng was released, maybe they would have a few more counties in the territory of the Chu Dynasty, he felt both proud and painful.

Proud of... ouch, how domineering the generals of my dynasty are, they can fight as many counties as they want, and suffer from... Nima, I don't care if I beat this guy, and I still have a headache in the end ==

Empress Li next to her sneered in her heart, for such an arrogant person, His Majesty may not be swayed in his heart!

As long as the prince's reputation is getting higher and higher, and the people around him are stronger, even if His Majesty trusts the prince, he will not be able to feel bad. Empress Li will not believe it. If His Majesty snatches it away, not a single crown prince will be hacked today! !

Qi Yuan has a calm face, Xie Changfeng has this kind of personality, if he can defeat Lin Yi today, he will naturally continue to fight in the future, as for the so-called master of high merit... Hehe, Qi Yuan smiled, what he can give Xie Changfeng, No one can give it!

——It has to be said that Qi Yuan is also a little proud of being able to fall in love with a man of strength and intelligence~ Emperor Xuanming did not give Xie Changfeng any title rewards in the end. , got up and left the table, and after a while, the queen also left.

The emperor and empress left, and the atmosphere at the banquet suddenly heated up. Xie Changfeng abandoned the circle of civil servants and slipped directly into the circle of generals and nobles, and began to toast one by one.

Several new governors who took office this year all did not return to the court by coincidence, just like Ye Ning, who just arrived in Jiaozhi to take over military affairs, and spent three months in the middle of the middle just to return to Beijing to toast Emperor Xuanming... To be honest, a bit It's such a waste of time, so there are no other veterans this year except the newly retired South Korean Gong Yun Feiting.

Duke Han is not young anymore, he is chatting with Duke Dingguo in a low voice.

Speaking of which, the relationship between Gongyun Feiting of South Korea and Lin Jingcheng of Dingguo is extremely complicated.

In the previous dynasty, Yunfei Court was stationed at the border, and Lin Jingcheng was ordered by the first emperor to break through the border. This was the first time the two confronted each other, and Yun Fei Court was defeated.

Immediately afterwards, the two fought several times. In the end, Yun Feiting was defeated and captured. Lin Jingcheng was the one who tied him into rice dumplings and sent him to the late emperor.

Later, they were ministers of the same dynasty, one guarding the northeast and the other guarding the northern border. The defense lines of the two happened to be next to each other. The two armies cheated each other every day. Duke Guo robbed Duke Han of Korea of ​​his weapons. All in all, it is well known that the two are at odds.

But now the two are getting older, and they haven't seen each other for almost six or seven years. At today's big banquet, the two even teased each other at first, but after talking for a while, the atmosphere changed for the better.

The Duke of Korea is talking about his son, the son is so stupid, the son is so stupid, the son found a shrew as his wife to piss him off all day long; the Duke of Dingguo is talking about his daughter, the daughter is so miserable, the daughter is so pitiful

Fortunately, both of them remembered that they were in the palace now, and they had to remember not to lose their dignity in front of the imperial court, otherwise they would have to hug their heads and cry to express their grief and indignation.

The two of them were very drunk, Xie Changfeng helped the former father-in-law to go home together, and as soon as they got out of the palace and got into the carriage, Lin Jingcheng opened his eyes, his eyes were clear, and there was no sign of drunkenness.

Lin Jingcheng cursed, "That old fox, listen to his nonsense! If his son is an idiot, how could his son become the governor, and if his daughter-in-law is an idiot, how could his daughter-in-law have three grandchildren?"

The fact that the old enemy has three grandchildren made Lin Jingcheng feel uncomfortable ~ Xie Changfeng leaned lazily in the carriage, "Father, is this Korean father against you?"

Lin Jingcheng glared at Xie Changfeng, "Nonsense, just look at it!"

"His niece is Princess Qi now!" Xie Changfeng said leisurely, "You think the Korean Guild won't join in?"

Lin Jingcheng was silent for a while, then he shook his head, "I don't know."

He said with emotion, "Yun Feiting is the son of the Yun family, he hates the Yun family, but at the same time he is the son of the Yun family, the ghost knows what he thinks."

"How will His Majesty use him?"

"Reuse it!" Lin Jingcheng sighed, "Don't forget that in Daijun, there is Yanmen Pass to the west and Juyong Pass to the east. When His Majesty was Dai Wang, he not only met me!"

Xie Changfeng remained silent.

At the same time, after the New Year's feast was over, Qi Yuan and Mrs. Fu returned to the East Palace. After leaving for a while, suddenly countless streams of bright light flashed in the sky, rising from the northwest and falling to the southeast. Meteor is like rain, brilliant and beautiful.

This is, a meteor from the sky! !

Everyone was stunned, the servants all stopped, subconsciously crawled on the ground, trembling with fear, Qi Yuan stared blankly at the meteors flying by in the sky, and the memories that were about to be forgotten were awakened again.

Back then, when meteors fell from the sky, he used the excuse that the prince was in a coma and a warning came from the sky, so the court attacked him and pulled Qi Chen, who was the prince at that time, from his horse, but now he was sitting on the seat of the prince.

He looked at Fu's face stiff and dull, and sighed in his heart.

"Okay, it's just a falling star, let's go back to the palace." Qi Yuan patted the car's shaft, Eunuch Cai's whole body trembled, and when he was about to speak, Qi Yuan said again, "Wait, go to the imperial study."

At a time like this, he'd better go see his father, and save Empress Li from blowing her pillow.

He said to Fu Shi, "Go back and take good care of Zhao'er."

Fu's face was pale, but she had calmed down at this moment. She pulled the corners of her mouth and forced a smile, "The concubine will go back first."

Xie Changfeng looked at the shooting stars in the sky, and his heart jumped.

Meteor shower! !I haven't seen it in my previous life, and I haven't seen it in my previous life!At this time, of course we have to be together with love!

So after he sent Lin Jingcheng back to Duke Dingguo's mansion, he didn't go home, turned his horse's head around, and sneaked back to the East Palace.

But to his surprise, Qi Yuan was not in the East Palace.

He hid and accidentally overheard the conversation of the two servants.

"Warning from heaven, do you think His Highness will be in trouble this time?"

"Shut up! Are you crazy!? Your Highness is something we can talk about. In any case, there is a master to support you, so let's work with peace of mind!"

"...I just feel like I need to be more prepared."

"Okay! Go to bed early! I guess I won't have time to rest tomorrow."

Xie Changfeng sat on the tree trunk, touched his nose, and smiled wryly.

Well, he seems to be thinking a bit more simply!The last time the Chang'an earthquake occurred, Emperor Xuanming excused the treason of King Chen and King Chu. Who will be the victim this time?

No matter who it is, it must not be Qi Yuan.

At the same time, Emperor Xuanming, Empress Li and Prince Qi Yuan visited Qin Tianjian in person and asked Qin Tianjian to explain the celestial phenomena at this time.

Qin Tianjian calculated and calculated, looked up at the sky, looked and looked again, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and his face was as pale as paper.

If you are too subtle, you will violate the right law.

The emperor collapsed.
