A Clash of Gods - Chapter 149

[Chapter 148]

On this day, the capital was always shrouded in a tense atmosphere. Except for Duan Canghai and Qi Feng, who were outside to inquire about the news, the Hou Mansion was also not at home.

Since Yang Ning can’t go out, he must cultivate the Qing scriptures in the mansion. He has contact with martial arts now, and he knows that although he has no worries about food and clothing because of his status as the prince of Jinyi, it is also because of this that he will become a thorn in the eyes of some people. Although there are many guards in the Hou Mansion, and their martial arts are not weak, they can’t be brought by their side for twelve hours a day. It’s fine to run into ordinary opponents. If you encounter real experts, you have to rely on them. own strength to protect yourself.

Since he had this thought in mind, he practiced the Qing Sutra with all his heart. When the young monk was really young, his martial arts were not weak, not showing mountains or leaking water. Although it may not be all because of the Qing Sutra, the role of the Qing Sutra must be the same. The contribution is indispensable, and since Yang Ning knew that the Jingchun who had never met was the fourth grandfather of the Qi family, he passed down the Qing scriptures, of course, it was not without reason, so if he had free time, he would take time to practice.

The Qing Sutra is a Buddhist spiritual method, and it is impossible to get immediate results. Yang Ning knew this well, and knew that he had to build the foundation step by step. Therefore, although he continued to practice, his breath still couldn’t flow, but he was not anxious.

For two consecutive days, the streets and alleys have not been able to pass through. From Duan Canghai’s inquiries, we learned that the prince has held a ceremony to worship the heavens at the Daguang Temple, and he has officially ascended the throne as the emperor. After returning to Beijing, he will immediately announce to the world.

Yang Ning thought that although the prince had already ascended the throne, he could not guarantee that the overall situation was settled.

At noon that day, Zhao Wushang came over in a hurry and said, “My lord, there is someone from the palace, it’s the crown prince… No, it’s the emperor’s decree, and Eunuch Fan has already entered the palace, so the lord hurried to pick him up. Purpose.”

Yang Ning asked, “Prince… oh, has the new emperor returned to Beijing?”

“I haven’t heard that the emperor has returned to Beijing.” Zhao Wushang said.

Yang Ning hurried to the main hall of Hou’s mansion. The whole of Hou’s mansion hurried over and knelt on the ground in the courtyard of the main hall. Yang Ning stepped forward and saw that Gu Qinghan and Duan Canghai were also in it, but Qi Feng was not seen. He wanted to come to Qi Feng to inquire about the news. Besides, Tang Nuo was naturally absent. Instead, the ugly man in black cloak that he brought back from Jiangling was at the back of the crowd. Everyone else was kneeling, but he was sitting on the ground and smirking at the crowd.

Someone on the side winked at him, the ugly man in black cloak turned a blind eye, and seemed to not understand the meaning, and looked up at the sky.

Yang Ning saw that the eunuch who came to announce the decree was the Eunuch Fan who was at the funeral of Qi Jing last time. He was a familiar face, followed by a few young eunuchs, two of whom were still holding exquisitely crafted boxes.

Seeing Yang Ning’s appearance, Eunuch Fan said with a pleasant smile: “Sir, there is a decree from the Holy One, please accept it first!”

Yang Ning bowed his hands and knelt down at the front. Eunuch Fan had already opened the imperial edict and proclaimed in a shrill voice: “Fengtian, the emperor’s decree said: The family of loyalty and filial piety, the family motto is early, and the Yintang of justice and martial arts, The decree is cut and stern, with no stubbornness in front of the light, and a square behind the sticker. It is the honor of Shen Shujue and the report of the valley. Er Qining is the grandson of the old Hou Yigong and the eldest son of the former Hou Qijing. He is handsome and handsome. , Eyes like electricity, Hui people and sects, like Yan Ying’s loan to the public, undressing and pushing food are as good as Fan Chun, Rendu Qi’s heir, Mao Xian’s loyalty to the country, I hereby give you Tan’s grace to inherit the throne of brocade clothes The edict of the tin is in the play, the toes are outstanding, the green locks show the training of the righteous side, the robes of the class are radiant, and the purple Chen expresses the light of Yu Qing. Appreciate this!”

Eunuch Fan’s voice was yin and yang, and a decree was read out, with red light all over his face, but Yang Ning was dizzy. He could understand only 10% of the entire imperial decree, but he could hear the words of the Marquis of Jinyi. , Although he knew that the title of Marquis of Jinyi would be granted sooner or later, he did not expect that it would be given suddenly at this time, and was greatly surprised.

“Little Marquis, hurry up and accept the decree!” Eunuch Fan said with a smile on his face, “Congratulations to the little marquis!” He had already closed the decree, took two steps forward, and handed over the decree.

When Yang Ning saw the imperial decree handed over, he came back to his senses and said hurriedly: “Thank you Lord Long!” He took it with both hands,

Eunuch Fan had already come to help Yang Ning in person, with a gentle tone: “Little Marquis, the sage has a lot of respect for Little Marquis, and he is thinking of Little Marquis in his heart.”

“Father-in-law, Sage… Has Sage returned to Beijing?” Yang Ning asked.

Eunuch Fan smiled mysteriously, but Gu Qinghan had already stood up and said, “Ning’er, please invite Eunuch into the hall for tea.”

Yang Ning reacted immediately, knowing that the officialdom is different from the rivers and lakes, and he can’t take it lightly at all times, and immediately smiled: “Father-in-law, please come in, come here, watch tea!”

Eunuch Fan said with a smile: “Don’t bother, don’t bother, the miscellaneous family will send it, so it won’t…!”

“Father-in-law has worked so hard to pass the decree, can’t you even drink a mouthful of tea?” Yang Ning took Eunuch Fan’s arm, “Let’s go, go in and drink tea.” , Even Duan Canghai was also filled with excitement that could not be concealed. He understood the mood of these people and just smiled slightly.

Eunuch Fan raised his eyebrows with a smile and said, “That’s all I can do.”

Entering the main hall, Yang Ning very obediently let Eunuch Fan sit in the first place. Although the identity of a eunuch supervisor is far from being comparable to that of a marquis, but people are doing business in the palace, and the people around the emperor must not be neglected.

Someone brought the brewed tea up immediately, and even the two eunuchs who came in didn’t take it lightly.

“Father-in-law first, how about this tea?” Yang Ning knew that Gu Qinghan was doing everything well, since it was the tea for the people in the palace, it would not be bad.

Eunuch Fan picked up the teacup, took a sip, put down the teacup and gave a thumbs up: “It’s really good tea!” Then he said, “Yes, the sage also specially gifted two treasures!” He turned around and winked, the two The eunuch carried the box over and placed it on the case next to Yang Ning.

Yang Ning couldn’t open it face to face, and he didn’t know what the emperor had given him, but he heard Eunuch Fan smiling: “Little Marquis, the Holy Master is still in the Daguang Temple. In the past two days, I have prayed for the late emperor at the Daguang Temple, and then I will go to the imperial mausoleum in person, so I can’t return to the capital for a while these days.”

Yang Ning was stunned, thinking that the palace has been doing things unexpectedly these few days. The prince left the city in the middle of the night, and the body of the late emperor was transported away suddenly today. Duan Canghai was well informed, but these few days were only a matter of hindsight.

At this moment, he saw that Duan Canghai had come in through the side door, holding a tray in his hand. Yang Ning glanced at it and saw that there were four gold ingots on the tray, and a single gold ingot weighed as much as a dozen or so. When Eunuch Fan saw the gold ingot, he just glanced at it casually, and immediately picked up the tea, calm and relaxed.

Duan Canghai said a few words to Yang Ning, Yang Ning nodded slightly, and said to Mr. Fan with a smile: “Actually, I heard that Mr. Fairy doesn’t have any hobbies during the day, so he likes to have a few sips of tea. Here is some tea and silver, please, Mrs. Smile!”

Duan Canghai walked over with the tray, and Eunuch Fan immediately said: “Little Marquis, this is absolutely impossible, how can you make such a waste of money.” He waved his hands again and again, “I can’t, I can’t!”

Yang Ning said, “My father-in-law also knows that today is a great day for the Hou Mansion. If you invite your father-in-law to have a cup of tea, your father-in-law won’t give you face?”

“This…!” Eunuch Fan said with a smile: “It would be disrespectful if the little Marquis said that.” Looking back, a young eunuch had already stepped forward and took the tray. Eunuch Fan With another wink, the two little eunuchs were about to step back, and Duan Canghai sent them out together, stuffing each of the two eunuchs with a silver ingot.

Eunuch Fan saw it in his eyes, and his smile became even stronger, and said, “Little Marquis is really too polite. The days of dealing with each other will be long in the future. Little Marquis needs to take more care of him.”

“It should be the father-in-law who took more care.” When Yang Ning saw that the father-in-law was instructing the little eunuch to go out, Yang Ning naturally had something to say.

Eunuch Fan nodded with a smile, and then lowered his voice slightly: “Little Marquis, you trust the Zajia, and the Zajia will not hide it from you, this time the little Marquis is awarded the title, it is not easy, there are many people behind it who do not know about it. Agree.”

“Oh?” Yang Ning looked humbly, “Father-in-law, where did you come from? Could it be that I offended someone?”

“Someone went to the book and said some unpleasant things about the little prince. He also said that the little prince did not have the style of the former prince. On the contrary, the little prince of your house has the temperament of the former prince.” Eunuch Fan said in a low voice: “Zhezi said that he should let go. The young son of your house has inherited the title of Marquis, and even…!” After looking around, he lowered his voice and said, “There are even people in your Qi family who say that you are not behind your back.”

Yang Ning knew it well, smiled lightly, and said, “Father-in-law, let me tell you something heartfelt, my father left in a hurry, and someone wanted to do something wrong, which is also what I expected. UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com ”

Fan Gong said: “The situation of the sage is actually quite similar to that of the young marquis…!” After a pause, he said with a smile: “The sage highly values the young marquis, and immediately after the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens, immediately The decree was made to confer the title of the little marquis, which is to read the loyalty of the generations of Jinyihou to the great Chu.”

Yang Ning clasped his fists and arched his left shoulder, sighing: “Sacred Lord Longen, Jinyi Hou’s mansion can only swear allegiance to the death, and never let down the painstaking efforts of the Holy Lord.”

Eunuch Fan said with a smile: “The sage said that after returning to Beijing, I will talk to the little marquis. The little marquis can also prepare first, and then face the sage.”

Yang Ning wondered if the old eunuch said polite words, or if the new emperor really valued Jinyi Hou’s mansion so much, but he smiled and said, “Thank you father-in-law for reminding me, I will be ready for life.”

Eunuch Fan had already stood up and said, “Little Marquis, the miscellaneous family has to rush back, so I won’t stay any more.”

“Father-in-law is going to Daguang Temple?”

Eunuch Fan nodded and said, “Exactly, the miscellaneous family has obeyed the will of the sage, and specially returned to Beijing to issue this decree, and now it is time to return to the sage to serve.”

Yang Ning was a little surprised, thinking that the old eunuch had rushed back to the capital to read this imperial decree. It seemed that the new emperor really attached great importance to this matter.

After sending off Eunuch Fan and the others, the Hou Mansion was already crowded into the courtyard, and everyone was rejoicing. Gu Qinghan seemed to have a stone in his heart finally falling, and said excitedly: “Ning’er, the Holy Master has issued a decree, and you will be the Jinyi Hou in the future. , the old marquis and the general will be relieved to know that.” Speaking of this, he couldn’t help but shed tears.

Yang Ning sighed in his heart that the world is impermanent. Two months ago, he was just a little beggar in Huize City, but now he has changed his body and become a dignified prince. This life is really mysterious and unpredictable.
