Chapter 769： Your Majesty's stand-in?

The palace is deep. The palace of Jinling in the south of the Yangtze River was the imperial palace of the Dakang nation more than a hundred years ago. After the Dakang nation was founded, Emperor Taizong moved his capital to the capital, and Jinling became the southern court.

However, Jinling is a king after all. Now that the Emperor Xinde lives in the south of the Yangtze River, many parts of the palace have been renovated, and the current palace looks extremely majestic and domineering.

Prince Long Zhaohuan got off the sedan chair outside the Meridian Gate and walked all the way from Meridian Gate to the Deep Palace. Since Xin De became seriously ill, he has lived in the Fongyang Hall. Long Zhaohuan also frequented this place, when his condition was most critical. , Even three or four times a day, his "filial piety" is really known to everyone in the palace!

It’s just that in recent days, His Royal Highness has been cold-hearted in the palace. When Xin Dedi was dying, there was no dutiful son to wait on him. The eunuchs in the palace would go to the East Palace to invite the prince, but Long Zhaohuan could always find him. Reasons to shirk.

Indeed, although Dakang State has only left a large area like Jiangnan, it is a country with internal and external troubles. As the Crown Prince Long Zhaohuan, he is very busy with daily official duties. Everyone knows this lover.

In addition, it is not easy for Long Zhaohuan to gain a firm foothold in the court. Inside and outside the court, the power of the rich and powerful is all-pervasive. The largest rich and powerful in the south of the Yangtze River is the Lu family. The Lu family not only has good talents, but more importantly, the younger one The generations of Lu Zheng are too aggressive, such a powerful figure holds real power, and raises his arms, and all the powerhouses all respond.

What's more serious is that the commander of the court's army, the Nanfu Army, is also Lu Zheng. Lu Zheng holds the lifeblood of politics and military affairs. It is not an easy task for Long Zhaohuan to step out of Lu Zheng's shadow.

Therefore, no matter how many reasons Long Zhaohuan finds, it is reasonable. There is definitely no unreasonable possibility! Just like today, at this time, Emperor Xinde needed a rest on weekdays. Long Zhaohuan hurriedly entered the palace, and no one could stop him going straight to the worship hall.

The outside of the Fengyang Hall was very quiet. There were only two little eunuchs listlessly guarding the door, and they could smell the extremely strong smell of medicine from a long distance. Long Zhaohuan strode towards the meteor, and the two too listened to the footsteps and immediately solemnly said:

"I have seen His Royal Highness!"

Long Zhaohuan didn't even look at the two of them. He waved his hand and rushed straight in. Seeing that he stepped over the threshold, he suddenly stood in front of him by himself. Look at this person wearing a Taoist robe, standing proudly, looking up at the bones of Xianfeng Taoism, very generous.

Long Zhaohuan was taken aback for a moment, and he hurriedly said: "It turns out that it is Tianshi Xu. Tianshi came to the temple today. Could it be that the body and bones of the emperor father have another chance?"

Xu Tiandao laughed, stroked his beard with his hand, and said: "His Royal Highness, these are all the blessings of your majesty. Your majesty is full of vitality. After experiencing such a long period of hardship, the dead trees have regained their vitality today. Speak, study, and eat!"

When Xu Tiandao said this, Long Zhaohuan's expression became apparently stiff, and a smile appeared on his face immediately, and said, "Really? Father, you are truly Hong Fu Qitian!"

Long Zhaohuan said this in his mouth, and people immediately walked into the hall. Inside the warm pavilion of the hall, Long Zhaohuan sat on the bed. He closed his eyes slightly and looked calm, but his eyes were slightly dull.

Long Zhaohuan knelt in front of him immediately, performing three prostrations and nine prayers. He trembled and burst into tears with excitement. He said: "Your Majesty, my son finally saw you wake up. This is the blessing of my great prosperity, Jiangshan The blessing of Sheji! Erchen... Erchen kowtowed to you!"

Emperor Xinde's sluggish gaze swept across Long Zhaohuan, he coughed softly, his lips moved but he didn't speak, Xu Tiandao on the side said: "His Majesty, please be flat. Although your Majesty is awake, his body is very strong. He hasn't fully recovered yet. Your Majesty is happy when you come to see him, but he may not be able to speak, so your highness is at your disposal!"

Long Zhaohuan knelt on the ground and raised his head to look at Emperor Xin De, until after a long while, Emperor Xin De was still sluggish, and he stood up and slowly moved closer.

He approached Emperor Xinde, supported Emperor Xinde with his hands, and said: "Father, do you still recognize the son? The son is Zhaohuan! If you can recognize it, you wink at the son... …"

Long Zhaohuan said this for a while, and Emperor Xin De did not respond. Long Zhaohuan slowly let go of his hand, sighed, and then suddenly looked at Xu Tiandao:

"Tianshi Xu, how are you in this hall? This palace seems to have said before that during your majesty's serious illness, no other people are allowed to enter the nursing hall. This hall is for the father's healing, not the place where you practice alchemy. , Tianshi, do you remember the words of this palace?"

When Long Zhaohuan said that he turned his face, he turned his face. He turned his face directly at Xu Tiandao. Look at his expression and the style of the prince. The attitude shown by that posture is that if Xu Tiandao dares to talk nonsense. In other words, he will immediately let people take Xu Tiandao down, or even destroy him completely.

Xu Tiandao was very calm and said: "Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. Poor Dao came here only under the edict. Your Majesty had previously reported the edict. Poor Dao did not dare to neglect, so he came to investigate!

Now that the Highness has come down, the poor road will leave! "

After Xu Tiandao finished speaking, he saluted Long Zhaohuan. Long Zhaohuan sneered and said, "Go and practice your longevity. This temple of worship is the place where your father Wang will maintain his life. There is no need for the so-called quagmire routines. !"

Xu Tiandao’s cynicism towards Long Zhaohuan was unheard of. He was about to turn around and leave. The Emperor Xin De sitting on the couch was suddenly excited, but when he saw his eyes looking to one side, his hands were shaking, he shouted at Xu Tiandao." "Yeah", it was obvious that Xu Tiandao would not be allowed to leave, depending on his attitude.

Xu Tiandao quickly stopped, Long Zhaohuan took a step forward, grabbed Emperor Xinde's arm, and said: "Father, you are really confused. Do you still believe in such a traveler at this time? In the eyes of the children, this li is a quagmire. He did not know how much he deceived you in the palace. Do you still miss him now?"

Emperor Xin De became even more excited, Xu Tiandao hurried closer, Long Zhaohuan's face turned blue, and he shouted outside: "Come here!"

Immediately several eunuchs came in hurriedly. Long Zhaohuan pressed the Emperor Xin De on the cave with one hand, and said to the eunuchs: "Quickly, your majesty is guilty of mania again, you will come and protect your majesty! "

Several eunuchs hurriedly approached. After Long Zhaohuan handed the Emperor Xin De to their hands, he suddenly stood up, staring at Xu Tiandao, and said: "Tianshi, what are you waiting for? Is it true that you have to wait? Is this palace completely turned over?"

Xu Tiandao hurriedly said, "Don't dare, let me go!" After Xu Tiandao finished speaking, he quickly retreated, and Long Zhaohuan stared at Xu Tiandao's embarrassed back and suddenly laughed.

"Haha!" He laughed and turned his head suddenly. At this time, Emperor Xin De's emotions seemed to be under control. He sat on the couch like a clay sculpture of wood, and looked at his expression. His head was covered with silver threads. Already skinny and skinny, the corners of his mouth were slightly tilted, and he said to the eunuchs:

"You have to take good care of your Majesty. When this palace sees other people in this palace, huh, be careful that this palace takes your life!"

Long Zhaohuan said these few words, turned around and left. This was the last time he entered the palace as a prince. He knew very well that after leaving the palace this time, he would act immediately. After a short while, he would have people invite Emperor Xinde out of this hall. Regardless of his life or death, it would be difficult for Emperor Xinde to enter the core circle of the palace in this life. Up.

For the rest of his life, it is not easy to get through to this step today. Long Zhaohuan has been through half a hundred years old, but fortunately everything is fine, waiting for him will be bright and smooth.

Besides, after Xu Tiandao left the main hall, he did not go far, but went directly to the Taiji Hall. At this time, above the Taiji Hall, the chief **** and the father-in-law had burned incense, and all the corresponding arrangements here were packed! Xu Tiandao saw the pill furnace in Nuan Pavilion, and quickly moved his gaze away, and then he saw a person who had discussed the most in Jiangnan recently, and at the same time, had the least appeared in front of the public. He was the head of the court and assisted Master Lu Shan Changlu.

Shanchang Lu also saw Xu Tiandao, he walked forward and said, "Has the heavenly master also come? Your Majesty..."

Xu Tianshi smiled slightly and pointed his finger outside. Lu Shanchang turned his head and saw two other people. One was Gu Tiansheng from the Gu family, and the other was Chen Zhiqian from the Chen family. They were all elderly people. Only three of the four in Jiangnan were left. Today, Qi Qi received the secret decree to enter the palace, and went to the Tai Chi Hall of the palace together.

The three of them are old foxes. At this moment, they can meet here, almost just looking at each other, and they can probably understand what might happen in this meeting today.

When they were puzzled, they walked out of the Nuan Pavilion from their father-in-law, and said: "Your Majesty Xuan Xu Tianshi, Xuan Xu Tianshi, Xuan Xuan, Master Lu, Assistant Master Chen, Master Gu saw him!"

Xu Tiandao took the lead, and Lu Shanchang and the other three followed him. After the four of them walked into the warm pavilion, the pavilion fell on the roof. Emperor Xin De sat up and looked at his face. Although he was thinner than before, he looked up. It's not bad.

In addition, the "Your Majesty" in the service hall just now looked dull, while the Emperor Xin De at this time had a pair of eyes that were very energetic, and between looking forward and looking forward, there was a kind of kingly demeanor of the world!

Xu Tiandao took a breath, and subconsciously his legs were soft, he immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Xu has seen your Majesty, your Majesty..."

"See your majesty for ministers!" Lu Shanchang and the others all knelt on the ground and looked at Emperor Xin De together.

Emperor Xinde smiled faintly, and said to them: "Be flat, Brother Xu, you have been working hard these days, walking in the hall every day! The current situation has to be like this, the emperor I am today. , It’s time when I can’t keep it! Look at this situation, it’s very dangerous, Brother Xu, sometimes I have to do it!"
