In order not to frighten the snake, Xuan Jingchen's troops and horses acted quickly. The secret decree was that the commanders rode the fastest Wuying to Lanzhou, and stopped Ming Geqi, who had a wicked heart, at the border. In the territory, Yuanzhou's military strength had secretly increased a few times on the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
According to the information provided by Nianwang, on August 15th, Zhong Licheng and Xu Mingyi would force the palace in Xishan with the golden-robed guards whose command had been exchanged long ago. They used the coercion of the ministers and relatives of the Xishan Banquet, and joined a group of nobles to force Xuan Jingchen to abdicate, and forced her to commit suicide on the grounds of poisoning Emperor Zhao, and thus quickly seized the throne, and there was no room for change.
Xuan Jingchen thought to himself, if Zhong Licheng wanted to become emperor, then Zhong Limu would definitely become another thorn in his side. Therefore, she ordered the supervisor of Tian Si to secretly protect Zhong Limu, and after making all arrangements, she quietly waited for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.
It was related to the society, and Xuan Jingchen had to work hard to deal with it. Regarding the matter of Le Zhengsu, she had to wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival to solve it.
Except for the participation of military personnel who she completely trusts, the ministers in the DPRK and China are almost unknown to such major events. She wanted to use the hands of Xu Mingyi and Zhong Licheng to clean the court again.
In this country, she will never allow the slightest bit of moth to corrode.
In this way, we waited until the night when the moon was full and people were full.
That night, the disk of the moon was shining brightly on the west palace of Xishan. The moonlight was very bright, and it brushed the delicate eaves of the palace and fell on the tall palace wall, illuminating a charming figure.
The Bauhinia Pavilion on the east side of the Xishan Palace is brightly lit at this moment. The ministers sat on their knees on the low seats, chatting and laughing, waiting for the arrival of Her Majesty the Queen in the center. Behind the minister, there are the family members of each family, and the vigorous young man.
Compared with the group of ministers who were graceful in front of the messengers in order to show their national strength, the youngsters who had just experienced hunting were full of enthusiasm. Xu Renli performed very well in hunting and was sought after by many people. The teenagers all liked his superb martial arts and archery, and promised to learn from him in the future. Because he was Su He's companion, he was staying with Zhong Lishuo Su He at the moment, so the teenagers naturally noticed Young Master Lezheng in the arrow robe.
The story of this young master Lezheng, who guarded Prince Su He and escaped the pursuit of many assassins, spread throughout the Western Mountains in just a few days. The teenagers naturally knew that this new hero was a great character. Although she didn't look like a person who had the strength to compete with the young man, her bravery was still worthy of the admiration of the young man.
But this time around, Le Zhengsu did not end, and a teenager sighed and said, "I heard that Young Master Le Zheng and Young Master Xu are Shuangying by the prince's side, if Young Master Le Zheng ends this time, this year's I'm afraid that the hunt is going to give you these pairs of English."
Zhong Lishuo smiled when he heard the words, shook his head and sighed, "This young master thinks too much, I'm not good at martial arts, and I'm not good at riding and shooting, so I'll only end up laughing."
Everyone just regarded her as being humble and praised her honestly. Everyone was unfamiliar with her before, and when they saw someone talking to her, curious people stepped forward and asked about the thrilling things that day.
Zhong Lishuo thought to himself, I hid at that time, but the teenagers would definitely find it very boring to say this, so she said it again according to the paragraphs written in the book.
Zhong Lishuo did not tie a bun today, but tied his long hair into a high ponytail and secured it with a jade crown. She was wearing a crimson arrow robe with a cloak over her body, which was fastened to her body with a black and gold belt. Compared with the handsome bookishness in the past, Zhong Lishuo, who is dressed as a samurai today, looks a bit heroic that you don't want to look away.
Xu Renli had previously thought that his partner was a bit too handsome, and it was even more so today. He watched Zhong Lishuo happily tell stories to those young men, and he couldn't take his eyes away from her high-spirited appearance for a while.
It was not until the bell rang and the servants shouted the news of His Majesty's arrival that the boys returned to their seats one after another.
The figure of Xuan Jingchen appeared from the front of the hall, and behind her were the eldest princess, Xuan Jingan and Princess Jingming. The officials stood up, bowed their hands and saluted, shouting that Your Majesty will last forever.
Zhong Lishuo also bowed, with a smile on his lips, his eyes fell on Xuan Jingchen from beginning to end. Xu Renli, who was beside her, looked at him, put his elbow on Zhong Lishuo's arm while bowing his head, and called her, "Su?"
"Um?"
"You look very happy today?" Yes, today's Zhong Lishuo looks very different, but Xu Renli can't tell what the difference is.
Zhong Lishuo nodded, watching the queen take her seat, Wen Shengguo and Baiguan got up, and responded to Xu Renli.
Seeing that she was willing to say two more words, Xu Renli's heart moved, and he said one more sentence: "Your clothes today look extraordinarily handsome." Yes, apart from handsome, Xu Renli couldn't find a more appropriate word for it. describe.
"Really?" Zhong Lishuo looked back at him. Under the bright lights, the smiling young man has picturesque brows. Xu Renli only felt as if his chest had been hit, and he kept jumping with a thud. He felt very hot, his face was hot, and his ears were also hot, and the crimson quickly spread on his white and tender face, making Xu Renli not knowing what to do.
Why do you have to laugh so good-looking, it can kill people.
Xu Renli thought so, and his eyes wandered away from looking at Le Zhengsu. The queen ordered, and everyone took their seats.
The drums of the banquet sounded, and the supervisors of Tiansi fell on the stage, starting the first song and dance of the night.
The musicians played cheerful tunes, and everyone praised in a low voice. During such a joyous gathering, Zhong Lishuo's eyes secretly fell on Xuan Jingchen, who was sitting on the main seat.
At that time, the queen bowed her head and was talking in a low voice with the eldest princess beside her. Her brows were gentle, and she was the same as Zhong Lishuo remembered. So Zhong Lishuo raised a glass of wine, put it on his lips and drank it. There was a smile in her eyes, but she was nervous.
She has never liked anyone else, and she has never told anyone that she likes it. Today is her first time and she doesn't know what to do. Just now, Xu Renli praised her for being pretty, so she is really pretty today. It is also a very good thing to be able to appear handsomely in front of the queen.
As for the rest, if you are really cranky, just follow Miki's advice and drink more bars.
The wine is in the heart, and the affection is self-expression.
She drank one cup after another, and Xu Renli peeked at her, saw her drinking hesitantly and persuaded a few words, "My brother said that drinking too much wine is bad for your health. Su, if you drink like this, don't drink too much. already."
Su He, who was beside him, was drinking milk. Hearing that, he looked up at Zhong Lishuo and said, "Brother Su is very happy today. When you are happy, you should drink. Just let her go."
When Zhong Lishuo heard this, he rubbed Su He's face with a smile. She turned her eyes, her eyes fell on Xu Renli, and said with a smile, "I can drink well, and I won't get drunk in a thousand cups."
As he said that, he actually raised another glass and poured it into his mouth.
The atmosphere in the hall became more and more enthusiastic with the repeated wonderful singing and dancing. It reached its climax when Xu Renqing jumped into Taichung with a long sword and performed a sword dance for His Majesty. Zhong Limu looked at the heroic young man holding a long sword in Taichung, and then glanced at the elder sister who was still drinking, his heart became anxious.
Ouch, Xu Renqing must not steal the limelight today. He thought so, but he couldn't control his eyes and fell on Xuan Jingchen on the throne.
His royal sister-in-law, her eyes were still so soft, she was smiling as she dealt with the ministers, and she didn't look any different. Only then did Zhong Limu relax and wait for Xu Renqing's sword dance to pass.
The harsh music of the palace was heard outside the palace. Outside the palace, a man in a royal robe looked up at the bright night sky with a long sword.
The moonlight tonight is very beautiful, just like the night he escaped from the southern border. He thought, if only Ah Qian was still there.
After tonight, he will fulfill his father's last wish and ascend to the supreme throne. If Ah Qian is still there, then after today, she will be his queen.
Zhong Licheng thought so, only to feel a little cold all over his body. He thought that even if he gave Ah Qian the most honorable status in the world, it would not change the warmth that Ah Qian gave him.
But it doesn't matter, they will meet soon.
Zhong Licheng thought about this, and when he heard the stern music from the hustle and bustle of the palace in the distance, he sighed softly: "Looking up to the sky and screaming, swallowing the mountains and rivers, I want to draw my sword to the sky, pierce the clouds and cut the moon, Ren Xiaoyao, the wind is Xiaoxiaoxi. Yi Shuihan... This song is very good."
At this moment, a golden robe guard came behind him and said in a low voice, "Prince, the time has come."
"Oh? Then bring the wine." He said, Jinpaowei promised, and handed a pot of wine to Zhong Licheng. Zhong Li Cheng Tijiu turned around, and under the bright moonlight, in the dark jungle, stood a golden-robed guard holding a sharp blade.
His eyes swept through the dense golden robe guards, raised the strong wine in his hand, and shouted: "I wash my sword with wine, but I want the enemy's blood to stain the armor. Brothers, draw your sword!"
With a swipe, all the golden-robed guards pulled out their long swords. Under the moonlight, a cold blade glowed with cold light.
"For the future of my great Chu!" Zhong Licheng shouted loudly, raised his hand and drank the spirits. The spirits entered his intestines, igniting a scorching fire, warming his cold body. After drinking the wine, Zhong Licheng smashed the jar on the ground.
The soldiers smashed the jar together with him. Amid the sound of shattering, Zhong Licheng wiped the corner of his mouth, walked into the crowd with a smile, and shouted, "Drink up the wine, and let me kill you!"
As he said, he took his golden robe guard and walked towards the palace where someone answered.
Before Zhong Licheng's poems were finished, he led the golden-robed guards into the first line of defense of the palace and shouted, "The strong man will never return once he's gone!"
Xu Renqing's sword dance ended with the trembling of the strings, and along with the trembling of the music, a cry of broken cups broke everyone's contemplation.
Everyone looked back, and their eyes fell on the broken cup. There stood a young man with picturesque features, standing straight at the moment, and said loudly to the queen: "The grass folk music is right back, and I will present a cloud song to Your Majesty!"
She didn't salute, and regardless of whether the queen agreed or not, she looked directly at the group of musicians in the corner and asked, "Master Cheng Wen, can you play cloud songs?"
The young man, who smelled of alcohol, is the real proud son of the emperor, and his unruly and unruly people can't take his eyes off.
