Sure enough, the death knell sounded in the direction of the palace shortly after receiving the imperial decree, nine long and five short, it was a sign of the emperor's death.
After the death of Emperor Longqing, every household was covered with white cloth, and silk and bamboo singing and dancing were banned for three years. The new emperor ascended to the throne after the funeral was completed after the cessation of the spirit for seven or forty-nine days.
Originally, Long Wenji didn't want to wait so long, but in order to avoid being disrespectful to his father left by the official historian, wouldn't he be vilified in the future when he is seen by future generations? Although his throne was not so fair, after all, everything is hidden under a calm surface, as long as no one reveals it, no one will know!
These forty-nine days are the longest forty-nine days that Long Wenji thinks. It is obvious that everyone has respected him as the prince, but as long as he has not put on the dragon robe for a day and has not reached that position, he feels uneasy in his heart.
During this period, Long Wenji had seen Zhuge Linlang several times, but Zhuge Linlang always smiled when facing him. His expression made Long Wenji a little guilty! Despite this, Long Wenji also followed Long Qian's advice very much, and never said anything about what happened in the palace that night.
Zhuge Linlang didn't mean to keep asking. Even if Long Wenji didn't say it, she could still guess some of them. The more you know about these royal secrets, the faster you will die. Although Zhuge Linlang didn't think she would definitely die if she knew this, since Long Wenji didn't intend to say it now, she still pretended not to know, and it is better to do less.
But Zhuge Linlang was still very busy after returning from the palace every day, and then took the time to return to the prime minister's house.
"Sister, why are you back?" When Zhuge Yu came back from the outside, he happened to meet Zhuge Linlang and walked to the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion. He quickly walked to Zhuge Linlang with two big strides and looked at her with a smile.
Zhuge Linlang was originally to come to Zhuge Yu when he came back this time. At this time, when he saw him, he entered the mansion with him, and then took the person directly to the study.
"Sister, what's the matter with you, so mysterious?"
Zhuge Linlang sat down in the study, she asked straightforwardly: "Second brother, is Qiao Ji still in the capital?"
Zhuge Yu asked Qiao Ji as soon as Zhuge Linlang came, his expression changed, and then slowly said, "Yes."
"Second brother, there are some things the younger sister has to say now. If the second brother is uncomfortable, I hope you can understand your sister's heart."
Zhuge Linlang had never been so serious in front of Zhuge Yu. Originally, Zhuge Yu liked this only sister very much. When he heard Zhuge Linlang say this, he became serious, "Speak up, we are brothers and sisters, if there is any use. For the second brother, just speak up."
Zhuge Linlang's heart became hot. She looked at the face in front of her that made her owe a lot in her previous life and asked: "Second brother, if you are really interested in Qiao Ji, please tell your parents about it, and then go back to southern Xinjiang with her. Right!"
Zhuge Yu didn't expect Zhuge Linlang to say this as soon as he opened his mouth. He immediately denied: "I don't like her!"
Seeing Zhugeyu's expression, Zhuge Linlang understood why Zhugeyu said it for a moment. She grabbed Zhugeyu's hand and said, "Second brother, you first listen to me and finish talking."
"Okay, you say, I listen." Seeing Zhuge Linlang's expression was unprecedentedly solemn, making Zhuge Yu unconsciously suppress the rebuttal.
"There are two reasons why I say this. The first is that my sister hopes that you will be happy. It is not easy to meet a beautiful woman. Don't miss it because of external reasons. That will make you regret it for a lifetime."
"..." Zhuge Yu's expression did not change, he still shook his head and denied that he was tempted by Qiao Ji.
Zhuge Linlang's gaze is a bit like looking at an ignorant child, "Second brother, you can't hide your liking for someone. You look at Qiao Ji's eyes, it's clear that you look at the eyes of your sweetheart. You don't need to argue, I am not a three-year-old kid , I can't hide this from me."
Originally Zhuge Yu wanted to refute, but in the end he was silent because of Zhuge Linlang's remarks.
"We all want you to be happy, brother, this is the most important point, and there is another reason, that is, I need to find a way out for Zhuge."
"Retreat? What retreat?" Zhuge Yu looked at Zhuge Linlang in surprise, "Little sister, what do you mean?"
Zhuge Linlang knew that Zhuge Yu would not listen if she didn't explain her words clearly, so she confessed that the acacia was guarded outside the door so that no one was close, and she sat down with Zhuge Yu face to face.
Zhuge
Yu knew that what Zhuge Linlang wanted to say must be very important, so he also put away the old hippie smile, waiting for Zhuge Linlang to speak.
When Zhuge Linlang looked at Zhugeyu in this way, the words in her heart suddenly couldn't say it, because she knew that knowing nothing is the best protection for her relatives, but if you don’t let Zhugeyu know, Zhuge Lin Lang was afraid that he would miss the love of this life, and that he would act impulsively like the previous life when danger came.
"Second brother, in fact, when Qiao Ji came to the prime minister's house last time, I went to talk to my mother about you, and my mother said that as long as you can be happy, you can be without her.
Zhuge Yu didn't expect Zhuge Linlang's first sentence to be this. He opened his mouth to argue, but Zhuge Linlang raised his hand to stop him.
"I also said just now that if you like someone, your eyes can't deceive others. Brother, you have Qiao Ji in your heart, don't miss her because of us! And as I just said, Daikin It will soon become messy. Before that, I have to find a way to give Zhuge a way out."
Zhuge Yu has not been very interested in the affairs of the court since he was a child. Although he has more or less friendship with the elder brothers of the family in the capital, most of the people who can get close to him are those who have no interest in the court. Naturally, it is not clear about the current trend of the court.
"Little girl, what do you mean by this?" Zhuge Yu was a little anxious, and urged Zhuge Linlang to make it clear that her words were so half-bright and half-dark, he began to panic involuntarily.
Zhuge Linlang said: "The first emperor abolished the prince before his death. This incident is not what I see on the surface.
Although Zhugeyu didn't care much about the court, he was born in the prime minister's mansion and was born in the center of this right. Not caring does not mean that he is stupid, so Zhugeyu quickly reacted, "You mean, the crown prince of King Ji It is very likely that it was obtained by persecuting the Emperor Xian
"Although I don't know what happened, based on my knowledge of the first emperor, if he wants to change the prince, he will never change before his death. Moreover, the first emperor's illness comes so quickly, it is completely unprepared."
Zhuge Yu was horrified, "Wang Ji didn't have such courage? Is it possible that you suspect that he will act on your father?"
