General Essence Sticky Essence

Chapter 11 The Blessing Ceremony

With the advent of spring, the sky in the northwest is gradually warming up, and the wind and sand are no longer as overwhelming as in winter.He Yun and He Lian played with soldiers in the army every day, archery, horseback riding and wrestling, and gathered together to eat meals cooked in a big pot.It's rare for the two sons and brothers not to feel bitter, but to live happily.

When the earth rejuvenates, the sky in the court is about to change.

On this day, the Great Court Meeting had just ended, and He Qing frowned and returned to the mansion.The emperor's health was deteriorating day by day, and this was the time when ambitious people were most eager to move.The first prince Xie Lin is cowardly, the second prince Xie Chu is decisive and reckless, and the third prince Xie An is still young, so they are not suitable candidates for the heir apparent.Zhang Dang naturally wanted to promote the second prince who was born to the empress to the throne. This was He Qing's biggest headache. If the second prince ascended the throne, the court would really become the world of Zhang Siyuan's followers. How could there be peace then?

At the same time, at the uncle's mansion, several adults are having a secret negotiation.

Zhang Siyuan sat in the main seat, and said: "The old emperor is dying, and he is about to die someday. This is an excellent time to promote the second prince. But there are always some unsightly things who want to stand in the way, everyone. What do adults think, how should I deal with it?"

"Xie Xuan doesn't have the Silver Tiger Talisman, so he's just an empty-mouthed marshal. There's nothing to be afraid of. Wei Wei holds the Copper Tiger Talisman in his hand and controls the heavy troops in the southeast, but the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so he can't stretch his hand for long. Although Su Bingzhe intends to support the First Prince, he has no real power. The prime minister can be replaced by anyone, at most it will take some tricks. The most difficult thing to do now is..." The person who spoke at this time was the chief minister of the dynasty, Li Xie.

"Jin Ru is right," Zhang Siyuan interrupted him, "holding the Golden Tiger Talisman, holding all the troops in the Central Plains, and commanding the Imperial Forest Army and the Guards, the only one who has made great achievements and refused to obey discipline is He Linxuan alone. In extraordinary times , Isn't such a person a huge threat to the royal family?"

"Naturally, the holy seat is in front, and his heart should be punished."

"Master Sun is right, that's the reason. Jinru, you are the only military officer here. The plan failed more than 20 years ago. I saved you from prison and helped you get back to your post. At this moment, what should the Golden Tiger Talisman do?" Where you go is up to you."

"Uncle Guo's kindness will never be forgotten by the lower officials, and he will definitely live up to everyone's expectations, so that he will never be able to recover from the He family."

Recently, the city of Jinyang is full of excitement. The Spring Dragon Festival is here. People beat gongs, drums and set off firecrackers. Every household puts dumplings and wontons in the pot, and then they make dragon scale cakes that are full of color and fragrance.Children ran back and forth in the streets with kites in their hands, chanting jingles: "February [-], illuminate the beams of the house, scorpions and centipedes have nowhere to hide" "February [-], the dragon raises its head, Shennong descends to make the golden bull" "February [-] Two, the beginning of spring, plow through the spring soil to welcome a good harvest.”

According to the usual practice, on this day, the Holy Spirit needs to go to the praying platform in person to pray to the Dragon King for good weather in the coming year, to bless the land with a good harvest, and the people to live and work in peace and contentment.But with the current sick body of the current Holy Majesty, I am afraid it will be difficult to continue.Therefore, who will replace the Holy Majesty on the prayer platform has become the most important issue.At this time, boarding the blessing platform is equivalent to confirming the position of the crown prince.

A mighty crowd gathered around the open-air blessing platform, and under the blessing platform, a lion dance troupe was presenting a wonderful performance, which attracted applause from the common people.Amidst the solemn music playing, Xie Chu was dressed in a bright red costume with a golden four-clawed dragon embroidered on it. He held three incense sticks and walked out slowly with a solemn and solemn expression.

The crowd boiled instantly, and the people came shoulder to shoulder, swarming, shouting: "His Royal Highness! Your Royal Highness is on top! His Royal Highness, Chang'an!"

The young acting crown prince glanced at the crowd condescendingly, his spirits were high.

General He was dressed in black armor, held a heavy blade, and stood on one side with a serious face, escorting the prince.The common people don't know that at this moment, the majestic General He has slandered him a hundred and eighty times in his heart, go to your mother's Crown Prince!

The aged emperor stood tremblingly in front of the bedroom door, and could vaguely hear the bustling sounds coming from outside.There was a trace of sadness on his old face, this world, no matter whose world it is, is there any difference to the common people?He slowly turned around and returned to the hall, suddenly, a gust of fierce wind hit his back, the old emperor didn't dodge in a hurry, and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

The blessing ceremony was not over yet, a soldier in Ukrainian armor stumbled and fell in front of He Qing. In the crowded street, no one noticed this little episode. The soldier raised his head and said with a mournful face: "General It’s not good! Your Majesty was assassinated!” He Qing’s eyes widened suddenly, he turned around and left, and when he passed by Li Xie, he said, “I’ll trouble you to take care of this side!” He didn’t see the complacent villain on Li Xie’s face like.

He Qing quickly ran into the palace, and a group of Wujia sergeants was standing in front of the temple. The Wujia is the unified battle armor of the Central Army. It seems that they are close soldiers who came to rescue him. He Qing walked hurriedly and asked immediately: "How is your Majesty?"

A soldier knelt down and said: "The general has come, and I have done everything according to the general's order!"

What order?He Qing hurried over, the Golden Tiger Talisman was still in his hand, who can give the Imperial Forest Army orders?

At this time, the old emperor roared in the palace: "He Qing, you are so courageous! Are you going to force the palace!"

broken!

After He Qing realized that he had been tricked, before he had time to react, Li Xie immediately led the troops and said, "What is General He doing?"

Fuck you uncle!He Qing took out the Golden Tiger Talisman, and immediately ordered: "The imperial guards inside come out immediately! Who will allow you to move around!" Then he stepped into the hall, followed by Li Xie.

The old emperor sat on the collapsed bed, his gray hair was disheveled, his eyes were loose, as if he had been greatly frightened.He Qing knelt down and said, "Chen..."

"General He, are you threatening the emperor, or do you want to force the palace!" After the emperor yelled this sentence, it seemed that all the strength in his body had been exhausted, and he lay on the edge of the bed coughing for a long time, and Li Xi hurried forward to help him.

"Your Majesty, I saw that General He was harboring evil intentions. Fortunately, he arrived in time. Are you all right, Your Majesty? Send it to the Imperial Physician!"

At this time, He Qing had ten mouths and couldn't speak clearly. The group of imperial forest soldiers who suddenly broke into the palace were obviously not He Qing's soldiers, and it was obvious who did it.The old emperor leaned weakly on Li Xie's body, and said intermittently: "Traitor... minister, be... punished!"

These four words poured a basin of cold water on He Qing's head, and a soldier behind him stepped forward, wanting to take off He Qing's armor, He Qing said: "I will do it myself!" Putting the golden tiger talisman aside, he closed his eyes and let out a long breath: "My emperor, take care!"

The blessing ceremony is coming to an end, and the noise on the street has not yet dissipated. The people are full of joy in such a festival. The great changes in the temple cannot be heard in their ears, and naturally they cannot affect their good mood.

He Yun and He Lian were watching the little soldiers "fighting insects". This is a kind of insect unique to Northwest China. It is about one finger long and has a black carapace on its back. Its long tentacles protrude from the front. The teeth made a whirring sound when they got up, a bit like an iron bull, but not, it was much more fierce than an iron bull.He Yun and the others had never seen this kind of worm before. At this moment, the two worms were fighting, and the soldiers were all watching with great interest, but He Lian and He Yun shrank back at the same time. The two brothers looked at each other knowingly, their faces There was an expression of wanting to cry but no tears on the face. I knew I was going to play with bugs, and I wouldn't come if I killed them!

A small soldier said: "What's wrong with the two young masters? My body froze just looking at it."

He Yun shook his head: "No, no."

The little soldier said with a smile: "Could it be that you are afraid?"

The soldiers around immediately laughed out loud, and one of them said, "Seven-foot man, what's so scary about this bug?"

He Lian said weakly, "I'm not seven feet yet."

"You don't have it, but the second son does." The little soldier showed an evil smile, pinched a worm that was fighting, and made a gesture to throw it at He Yun.He Yun yelled, and hurriedly ran away, "You guys are going to kill people!!"

"Hahahahahahaha, I'm really scared!"

"He Lantian is also afraid, you throw him away!" He Yun picked up a gun and stood in front of him with a sad and angry expression.

"Where can you bully a child, hahahaha!"

The underage Young Master He immediately felt relieved, and said: "Yes, yes, you can throw away my second brother!"

"He Lantian, shut up!"

Xie Xuan walked over leisurely, and said with a smile, "Where are you killing pigs?"

He Yun had a mournful face.The little soldier who had frightened He Yun just now said: "Your Majesty, let me show you one more kill." As he said that, he raised his hand and threw the bug in He Yun's direction, and it just landed at He Yun's feet.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" He Yun threw away the gun in his hand and jumped to hide behind Xie Xuan.

It's really worse than killing a pig.

Xie Xuan laughed mercilessly for a long time.Ding Yong suddenly ran over in a hurry, and said in a deep voice, "My lord, something happened."

On the third day of He Qing's imprisonment, Li visited with the golden tiger amulet, as if he was afraid that others would not see it, so he hung the tiger amulet in the most conspicuous position.

Who are you showing off to? ?

He Qing didn't bother to raise his eyes to look at him, he just said: "I've been here for three days, Zhang Siyuan, Sun Fuyu and Da Sima, you come here in turn, I'm afraid I don't know it's your partnership that hurt me?"

Li Xie said: "General He, oh, I'm sorry, I'm no longer a general. So what if you know? The Golden Tiger Talisman is in my hand, and the emperor is about to die. You are sitting in a death row. You don't know when you will cut it." , the head is gone. How can you bear me?"

A look of a little man's ambition.

He Qing snorted, but didn't answer.

"It stands to reason that I am an elder, and Lin Xuan can rest assured that the Golden Tiger Talisman is in my hands."

"...Are you disgusted?"

"There are even more disgusting things. King An Yuan is bringing your two younger brothers to the capital. Madam has arrived. Do you want to meet?"

After hearing this, He Qing raised his head and glared at Li Xie.Li Xie said: "You don't think that your family members can not be implicated, do you?"

Sure enough, Chen Xiu walked in and said, "It's okay, members of the He family are naturally willing to be implicated."

He Qing stood up suddenly: "Axiu!"

Chen Xiu shook her head slightly, and He Qing knew that she had already known the cause and effect, so she took Chen Xiu's hand and did not speak again.

Li Xie snorted coldly, and said: "Madam, stay here at ease, General He, come with me."

Only then did Chen Xiu's eyes faintly show worry. He Qing squeezed her hand and said softly: "There are cockroaches in this prison, woo, it's so annoying."

Chen Xiudao: "I'll help you deal with it, and it will be gone when you come back."

"My daughter-in-law is really nice."

Da Sima Li Xie rolled his eyes countless times and said sharply, "Please!"
