He was consecrated yesterday, and today he must go to face the saint. He walks within the high walls of red tiles and green, and the sky is divided into squares.

He sat on a sedan chair covered with a soft couch, and walked along the long street as if no one was there, the bells tied to the sedan chair were tinkling all the time, no matter who he met, he had to give way to him.

He didn't wear such eye-catching clothes today. Instead, he put on a white robe. Only the fine dark patterns on the fabric glistened in the sun. He wore a piece of Pisces jade around his waist. There are no other ornaments.

It is quite in line with his name of astrology and divination. He looks like a fairy, but in fact he is secretly luxurious.

Qi Hsinchu stood outside the magnificent hall, everyone was just a nail in the machine, in fact he was no exception, someone stood at the top of the pyramid, and someone was under pressure.He also understands that these respects of his are nothing but vanity, and he cannot take it lightly.

The emperor looked very happy when he saw him, and got up and walked down from the high platform alone.

Qi Hsinchu didn't dare to neglect, so he covered his face and saluted respectfully.

Zhao Chong took his hand, and Qi Xinzhu wanted to pull his hand away, his face full of flesh was full of creases of laughter.

"Aiqing, you are finally here. Come and help me to see why I feel that my emperor star has dimmed a lot recently."

Qi Xinzhu tidied up his clothes, and approached the emperor's sky-gazing mirror with some doubts.

"Perhaps the emperor overlooked it. The emperor star is Ziwei star, which is in charge of the cardinal of good fortune and nurtures all things. It is the most precious star. One." He pointed to a bright star.

Zhao Chong seemed to understand half-understood, but looked very interested, nodded, and praised him greatly, "Aiqing is really amazing, it seems that I still can't cultivate well." He sighed heavily again He took a deep breath and said, "Perhaps this thing really needs talent. I study here every day, so it's better for Aiqing to take a look and give me advice." Then he glanced at Qi Xinzhu with a half-smile.

Qi Hsinchu smiled neither humble nor overbearing, and saluted, "There is a specialization in art. His Majesty has governed the world so well. Of course, it is far more successful than the trivial art of a humble minister." He blocked the words again. .

Zhao Chong seemed to be a little happier after being praised by him, and his expression was much better than before. He squeezed his sparse and slender beard and sighed subtly: "However, Aiqing is very lucky. For hundreds of years, only you One person successfully passed the 20th birthday period."

Almost everyone knows that the national teacher of the Dachen Dynasty must die at the age of [-], so he can get so much wealth and respect. Besides, he is not directly subordinate to the emperor, but more received by the people. The National Teacher's Office and the royal family maintain a very delicate relationship.Qi Hsinchu knew he had to give an explanation.

Qi Hsinchu lowered his head in trepidation, kowtowed a few times respectfully, and first stated that the most important thing for him today is to explain this matter. He first said a few words that he had received the great grace of the emperor, or gained a little more God's favor and such nonsense.

Then he took out the veil to cover his face and coughed a few times, but when he looked at the veil again, it was really soaked with dark red blood.

The emperor's eyes were subtle, mung bean-like eyes squinted at him, and he asked in a low voice, "Why is Aiqing still in poor health?"

Qi Xinzhu cupped his hands and said: "Actually, apart from the emperor's blessing, there is indeed another reason why I was able to survive by luck."

The emperor's expression showed some doubts, and his voice became very long: "Oh, let's hear it."

Qi Xinzhu said: "It is also because of the shadow of my family teacher that I was fortunate enough to meet a secluded genius doctor in Beimo. He has diagnosed my pulse, but even with his kung fu, he can't completely heal our weak body. The problem is that the master is kind to him, and he gave him everything, and prepared a kind of pill for the minister. After taking it, he may be able to keep the minister alive for up to ten years, but this is the best result. In many cases, the old man It's also hopeless." After Qi Xinzhu finished speaking, he coughed intermittently, and his elegant eyebrows were frowned, showing a sense of fragile beauty.

After hearing this, the emperor suddenly realized. Looking at his current injured appearance, he let go of his doubts a little bit. In this appearance, it is really impossible to do anything. Besides, there are many spies around Qi Xinzhu. is no different.

The status of the national teacher in the Dachen Dynasty is too high, and all the people are grateful to those who protect the country but die early. For the royal family, it would be fine if they all died early, but If a certain person can live for too long, then he must not be so laissez-faire, otherwise, how would the emperor govern the country?

However, if Qi Hsinchu can only live another ten years, it doesn't matter if he just supports him like this. Is he afraid that he can't afford to support an idler in such a powerful country?

When Qi Xinzhu walked out of the main hall, he was still a little terrified. After all, there is a real centralizer in this world. He has the ability to easily decide the life and death of people, and he doesn't have much bargaining chip against the emperor.

Later, Zhao Chong talked with him about astrology, and he also mentioned his thoughts about the election, intentionally or unintentionally, asking him how he thought of the crown prince and the king of Qin.

Qi Hsinchu thought about what he meant a little bit, but he talked about the pros and cons of both of them in vain, and he didn't deliberately favor anyone.

After Zhao Chong listened, he gave him a deep look, and Qi Xinzhu only kept a respectful expression.

It seems that the matter of the prince's visit to his mansion yesterday has already been exposed. Also, the emperor is no longer the world's affairs, he is also the master of the world, and they are surrounded by the emperor's eyeliner.

When Qi Hsinchu went back, he didn't take a sedan chair, but walked slowly around the palace, walking among the red bricks and green tiles, even though the places he went were spotless, it always gave people a depressing feeling.

He is a foreign minister and cannot enter the harem, so he can only stay in a few places for a while.

He walked for a long time, and came to a very dilapidated palace, looking at a section of broken walls, even with cobwebs on it, it was hard to imagine that there was such a dilapidated place in such a magnificent palace.

There are piles of weeds and weeds, and the dark walls are full of cobweb-like cracks. The whole palace seems to be covered by a layer of gray cloth. From the plaque that is about to fall at the entrance of the main hall, a few words can be vaguely seen, [Chaoyang] temple】.

This is one of the nine halls other than the hall where the emperor and empress live. Logically speaking, even if no one lives there, it shouldn't be so dilapidated.

A young eunuch who was leading the way beside him didn't know why Zongxing Guoshi came all the way here, and stood there without saying a word for so long, this place was something they slaves were afraid to avoid.

He whispered: "This is the residence of Concubine Li in the past. After Concubine Li disappeared, it fell into disrepair. In the end, many people rumored that this place was haunted by ghosts. Over time, it became abandoned here."

He explained softly, glanced at Qi Xinzhu, and then said: "Master Guoshi, why don't we leave first, everyone said that this place is not very auspicious."

Qi Xinzhu didn't refute, just took one last look at the plum blossom protruding from the yard, and left with his feet up.

Of course he was not idle, but because that was Zhao Mingjing's former residence, and this was the object of his mission this time, that is, the child born to the concubine Li who died young.

But Concubine Li was originally a beauty presented to the emperor by the Western Regions, just because she was extremely beautiful, and she was favored by the emperor as soon as she entered the palace. After hearing that she was pregnant, the emperor tried again and again to make her a noble concubine.

In the end, she was killed by the ministers of the whole court before giving up. She was just a beauty from the Western Regions, without any noble status. How could He De be able to sit on the position of imperial concubine of the Dachen Dynasty?

But even so, Concubine Li's beauty still keeps him in favor. If it's just this, it's nothing, after all, then Zhao Mingjing can still have a mother who is favored.

But at that time, everything was going well, but Concubine Li suffered a blood collapse during childbirth. There was no warning before, and everyone panicked. , still failed to prevent Concubine Li from passing away.

Later, someone said that Concubine Li had always been physically strong before, and the main reason for this kind of thing was because his child was a disaster, his birth took all the energy from the mother's body, which led to the weakening of the mother's body, and she died suddenly on the day of delivery .

What's more frightening is that if this kind of catastrophe is born in a common people's family, it will cause the family to be destroyed, and the wives will be separated. If it is born in a royal family, there may be a risk of shaking the foundation of the country.

A young man in a white robe spoke calmly, but no one dared to ignore any of his words.

Just because that person is his master, that is, the previous Dachen Kingdom Master, Tianliang Kingdom Master.

There was never a single lie in what he said. At that time, Zhao Chong was still vacillating. Concubine Li, who was bleeding profusely, heard this when she was dying. He is the minister who sticks to his word that the little prince must be executed.

He hesitated.

But as an emperor, he may lack talent, but he will never be indecisive, so he sent the newly born little prince Zhao Mingjing to the Royal Temple of the Reclining Buddha a second after Concubine Li died.You must not enter the palace for half a step before reaching the crown.

Because the national teacher Tianliang, the national teacher, once predicted that this matter may have a turning point after the prince and the crown.

Although the emperor also selfishly resented this child for killing his favorite woman, but after all, this was the child she gave birth to for herself.

He also has his own blood on his body, if he is asked to kill this baby who is still in its infancy, he really can't bear it.

But the national teacher has no grievances with the child or the concubine Li, and it is impossible to deliberately harm him. Even if the astrology technique is wrong, he cannot ignore it, so abandoning him is the best choice.
