Chapter 228

Just when the Western Chu Imperial Palace was jubilant, what happened in the state of Southern Wei yesterday made the emperor Longyan angry, resulting in the cancellation of the ancestor worship ceremony that had been prepared for three months. The emperor of Southern Wei left angrily, and all civil and military officials could not get up on their knees, for fear that the residual power of anger would affect him.

Before it happened, no one thought that the sacred and solemn ancestor worship ceremony would be so big.

At first, everything was normal. The southern Wei emperor took the queen, the second prince Lin Xiaochen who took part in the ceremony instead of the crown prince, and civil and military officials to the temple to worship their ancestors under the escort of the mighty imperial guards.

This is a grand event once every three years in the southern Wei Dynasty. Not only ordinary people can see your Majesty's dragon face today, but if they are lucky, they can squeeze in front and get the reward from your majesty. The capital of the southern Wei Dynasty was bustling and boiling on this day. Everyone put down what they were doing and gathered near the Taimiao temple to watch along the way.

The emperor of the southern Wei Dynasty took the Dragon chariot to the front and enjoyed the people's worship. Listening to the words "long live your majesty" and "God bless the southern Wei" on the street, he was very happy and happy.

But he didn't expect that before he arrived at the temple, the emperor of the southern Wei Dynasty heard someone shouting "long live the second prince". Before that, he didn't care about it and didn't hear it clearly. He didn't think it was an ignorant people who shouted it casually.

But unexpectedly, more and more people responded, and then the internal prison reported that the people saw the second prince's heroism, extraordinary appearance and loved by the people, so some ignorant people shouted "long live the second prince".

Although we know that these people are illiterate, what scruples "Viva" has learned from listening to plays and books. Although the emperor of the southern Wei Dynasty understood this truth, he couldn't bear what happened next.

More and more people shouted "long live the second prince" along the way. It was as if everyone had forgotten that the emperor of the southern Wei Dynasty was the son of heaven. It sounded like an ignorant voice filled with evil sounds. The emperor of the southern Wei Dynasty could not suppress his fear and anger, and he almost wanted to kill.

Long live the second prince. Isn't he long live? When did his son have such a high prestige among the people, even far more than the son of heaven? Everyone shouted without scruples. It seems that his son is still enjoying it. Is it difficult that Lin Xiaochen has a rebellious heart instead?

The emperor of the southern Wei Dynasty didn't even hear the words "the second prince was terrified" said by the internal prison, and the rich inner drama had made him lose his mind. When the ceremony went to the procedure of the fairy emperor giving rewards to the people, a gray haired old man who was appointed came forward trembling and asked the emperor of the southern Wei Dynasty to make the second prince the crown prince, he finally broke out.

The ancestor worship ceremony was also ignored. The southern Wei Dynasty ordered on the spot to drag the nonsense old man down and beat him 50 boards to make an example. The second prince attempted to incite the ignorant people to test pressure, and tried to threaten the emperor to get the crown prince. He was really mortal. He immediately removed his title, put him in prison and dealt with it after listening to it.

The ancestor worship ceremony in the southern Wei state was very vigorous, and many officials were affected by this event. Usually, they were close to the second prince Lin Xiaochen, and were investigated one by one. Many ministers were immediately sent to prison, and a series of people were involved.

Up to now, Luo qingluan has seen the news. He is afraid that more than ten officials of the southern Wei state have been dismissed and sent to prison, waiting for a thorough investigation. When Yuan Xing talked about the news of the southern Wei state, he almost couldn't close his mouth with a smile, completely gloating.

"Lord, princess, our news is that the secret kite is spreading a book. It should be the first thing that the whole western Chu knows. It is estimated that in two days, your majesty and others should know when the imperial court's 800 Li expedited documents are delivered." Yuan Xing's proud way.

I didn't expect that one of her strategies would make so much trouble. Although Luo qingluan had been prepared in her heart, she still couldn't believe it when the fact really happened. Things went completely according to her expectation and went smoothly.

"Qingluan, your masterpiece is very good."

Nalan night smiled with profound meaning. In front of Yuan Xing's face, he did not hesitate to hold her hand. He looked like a baby: "if you go to be a spy and stir up the fire yourself, I'm afraid the whole southern Wei country will be disturbed by you. The move of not cutting blood is very good. Continue next time."

Listening to what he seemed to praise and ridicule, Luo qingluan couldn't cry or laugh: "I don't want everyone to take risks, otherwise why bother my brain?"

"Yes, I'm not praising you." Nalan laughed at night.

While Yuan Xing laughed, he also had another heart: Although the princess looks delicate and weak, there are too many ways to deal with people in her mind. If you don't pay attention to it a little, it won't pay for your life to be killed by her. You'd better be more careful in the future.

At the thought of the day when Luo qingluan threatened him to stay in the dark house to draw a picture of the spring palace, he wanted to cry without tears.

Fortunately, the darkest and humiliating days have passed, and now the matter of the dark house has been handed over to others. As for when the princess wants to expand her business, she will get some people to go to the dark house. I'm afraid those brothers and sisters waiting for the princess to see a doctor in the dark night hall will suffer.

Secretly praying for his companion, Yuan Xing quickly stepped down.

After that, the state of affairs in the southern Wei Dynasty was almost carried out according to Luo qingluan's expectation. Under the great anger of the southern Wei emperor, he strictly investigated Lin Xiaochen's affairs. Lin Yixuan fought back and quietly threw out some dark evidence of Lin Xiaochen, such as the assassination of him before the Congress of the four countries... And collusion with Bai Yixuan. As for accepting ill gotten gains, buy It is more or less common for almost every arrogant son of the royal family to grant officials and kill people.

When all the criminal evidence was sent to the desk of the southern Wei emperor, the latter was really angry.

Lin Yixuan got rid of the punishment of confinement smoothly. Although he lost the crown prince's face by some impolite lessons from the southern Wei emperor, he was unexpectedly praised afterwards. He said that he was calm and stable in cultivating students and nourishing nature, much better than the second child. Don't act perversely. Haosheng studied with the Taifu and so on.

The implication of the southern Wei emperor's words can be seen by people with a clear eye. After all, the crown prince won. He not only kept his position, but also stumbled over the second crown prince. From then on, there was no obstacle and a proper successor to the future throne.

Lin Xiaochen's rapid downfall was beyond the expectation of many people, but it was taken for granted.

It was not the prince, but he wanted to be the prince. He was so arrogant that he tried to say "long live" with the son of heaven. Even if he didn't mean to do it, it also proved that he was sharp. Perhaps it implied something in private. He hoped that the southern Wei emperor heard the opinions of the people and thought Lin Xiaochen was wise and powerful and suitable for the heir to the throne, but he didn't expect to make a fool of himself.

Of course, some people suspect that Lin Yixuan did something behind his back, but Lin Yixuan never defended himself.

The more you wipe it, the darker it gets. He didn't do it. Why should there be a ghost in your heart? After regaining the trust of the emperor of the southern Wei Dynasty, Lin Yixuan was more conscientious and did not dare to neglect at all. He even more restrained his edge than before. He only focused on learning from the Taifu, regardless of everything else.

But Luo qingluan still received a letter secretly sent by Lin Yixuan, telling her about her situation and that everything was safe. It also implicitly mentioned that nothing would happen in the southern Wei Dynasty in recent years. The emperor of the southern Wei Dynasty was more careful because of this incident. Whether internally or externally, if there were no special circumstances, it would be impossible to make big moves, which would dispel the plan that the southern Wei Dynasty might form an alliance with North Vietnam and attack the Western Chu together.

This is what Luo qingluan didn't expect. He just inadvertently inserted willows into the shade.

Originally, I wanted to teach Lin Xiaochen a lesson, avenge myself and help Lin Yixuan by the way, but I didn't expect that even the crisis of the alliance between southern Wei and northern Vietnam had been inadvertently solved.

"Qingluan, you are really a lucky star for your husband." Nalan night stroked Luo qingluan's soft and bright long hair and sniffed fondly: "a small plan has cracked the alliance between the two countries. I'm also an unexpected surprise."

For the time being, he didn't have to think about the war. He couldn't help but relax a lot.

It's not that he was afraid to go to the battlefield, but Nalan night saw the death of countless brothers in the same robe after the war five years ago. He felt a little disgusted with bloodshed. He doesn't want to go out on his own, leaving Luo qingluan alone at home. If he is afraid, he will be equally uneasy at the front line.

What happened in the southern Wei Dynasty spread almost quickly. The emperor of Western Chu knew that Hou Longyan was happy, and it was a double happiness. First, the queen added a prince to him. Second, needless to say, it is the great benefit of the country and the peace of the people.

One month later, at the full moon of the little prince, the emperor and queen of Western Chu took the opportunity to hold a banquet and invited all the ministers to attend with their wives and daughters. Of course, this is an obvious reason. In fact, there is an exciting news among the aristocratic and family members in the capital: the queen will finally decide the choice of the crown princess at this banquet.

That's why people are eager to attend the full moon banquet.

It has been almost a year since I mentioned the candidate for the imperial concubine of crown prince Nangong Qing, but it has not been decided yet. But this time everyone believed that it was the last time to see whether it would be successful. Queen Wang had just given birth to the prince and was in a good mood. If she could get her eyes, it would be a certainty.

For a time, the business of the major garment shops and jewelry stores in the capital was much better. Naturally, the wives did their best to dress them up for their daughters.

The invitation to Luo qingluan was sent very early, but Luo qingluan didn't think about it very easily.

Queen Wang showed her the candidate list of three women in advance, hoping that she could choose the most suitable one for her reference. If empress Wang really chose the person she proposed, it's easy to say if Nangong Qing likes it. If Nangong Qing has no feelings, wouldn't it ruin his happiness in life?

Luo qingluan has never been a character who likes the words of matchmakers and the orders of her parents. It's just a coincidence and luck to marry Nalan night and like him. She doesn't think Nangong Qing will do the same.

Therefore, a few days before the full moon banquet, Luo qingluan told Nalan night about it, and then asked Nangong Qing out alone.

She wants to know what kind of woman he wants to spend his life with.
