A Clash of Gods - Chapter 196

[Chapter 195 Long Tai]

Xiao Guang said: “Do you really want to see the emperor?”

“It’s not that I want to see him, it’s that he wants to see me.” Yang Ning said, “I didn’t even have lunch, so I hurried over here. I thought it was a reward, but now it’s good. I’m afraid even dinner will be delayed.”

“Do you want the emperor to reward you?” Xiao Guang said with a smile: “The emperor will not reward things indiscriminately, unless you make great achievements. If the reward and punishment are not clear, there will be trouble.”

Yang Ning waved his hand and said, “You don’t understand.”

Xiao Guang said: “The emperor has just ascended the throne, and he has a lot of time to deal with many things. He is very tired. Since you are in the palace, don’t be impatient. Just wait, can’t even the emperor wait for you?”

“That’s not true.” Yang Ning said: “But it’s not too late. The emperor has just ascended the throne, and many things can only be done slowly. If you want to rush everything to completeness at once, I’m afraid it will backfire.”

Xiao Guang frowned slightly and was about to say something when he heard a voice from outside: “The Queen Mother is coming!”

Xiao Guang and Yang Ning changed color at the same time, Yang Ning wondered why a queen mother suddenly popped up?

Of course, the queen mother is the mother of the new emperor. How could she be in this place?

But seeing Xiao Guang step forward and grab Yang Ning’s arm, he said anxiously, “No, too… too late.”

Yang Ning thought that although the queen mother was a little strange, it was no big deal, but seeing Xiao Guang’s brows furrowed, he asked, “Why, are you afraid of the queen mother? It’s not because of the snack, right?”

Xiao Guang looked around, looked at the bookshelf in the corner, pointed to it and said, “You hide behind the bookshelf first, it’s too late for her to see.”

Yang Ning said: “Are you afraid of being confused? I’m Jin Yi Hou, too late, I just went to see her, why should I hide?”

“If you want to hide, hide.” Xiao Guang dragged Yang Ning to the edge of the bookshelf and said, “This is… the place where the emperor reads, usually foreign ministers are not allowed to come in, you are here today. , The Queen Mother will definitely be angry when she sees it.”

“Don’t allow foreign ministers to come in?” Yang Ning was confused at this time, thinking to himself, if the foreign ministers were not allowed to come in, why did Eunuch Fan lead him here?

I have been sitting here for most of the day, and no one has urged me to leave.

But seeing Xiao Guang’s dignified expression, he didn’t know whether what he said was true or false, so he could only hide behind the bookshelf first, thinking that this time entering the palace was really bad luck. Maybe something strange will happen later, it seems that it is better to leave the palace as soon as possible.

On the back of the bookshelf were thick red wooden boards, completely obscuring the sight, and the condition of the room could not be seen.

He heard footsteps, and then heard the door of the house being pushed open, when Yang Ning heard someone entering the house, he was wondering if the queen mother had already entered the house, when she heard a voice: “My son knocks on my mother! ”

Yang Ning was shocked when he heard the voice.

He clearly heard it clearly, it was Xiao Guang who was speaking, but Xiao Guang called the Queen Mother “mother”, and Yang Ning was immediately horrified.

“Your Majesty, what are you doing?” Yang Ning heard a stern voice again, “Why are you wearing this dress?”

Is he the emperor?

Xiao Guang is the emperor?

Is he the newly enthroned Emperor Longtai?

When Yang Ning was stunned, his mind flew, and he understood in an instant, and he could not wait to slap himself.

He thought that Xiao Guang spoke boldly, just because he recognized himself as a fake Jinyi Hou, and now he knew that this place was originally owned by others, so he naturally spoke without any scruples.

If not the emperor, how dare you pick up dim sum and enjoy it?

Yang Ning only blamed herself for being too confused and didn’t react, but Xiao Guang was the new emperor of Chu, which really surprised Yang Ning.

The images were already rolling in his mind, linking back and forth, and he quickly made up his mind.

It has been said before that the Eastern Qi State held a hall for the establishment of the crown prince, and the crown prince of Da Chu personally led a team to attend the ceremony. When the clouds were overcast in the capital, many people even thought that the crown prince of the Chu State was still in Dong Qi.

It now appears that the crown prince had already received news that the previous emperor was critically ill when he was in Eastern Qi, so he had already secretly set out from Eastern Qi and rushed back to Jianye day and night.

However, the whereabouts of the crown prince have obviously been tracked down. Ordinary people do not have much feelings about the change of imperial power in the Chu Kingdom, but secretly, it is already turbulent, and there are naturally many people who do not want the crown prince to return to the capital in time. These people naturally sent assassins to intercept them along the way.

When he saw Xiao Guang that day, he must have experienced many difficulties and obstacles, and his purpose was to return to the capital in time before the death of the previous emperor.

The first emperor was obviously prepared, and the prospective crown prince might be hindered on the way, so he dispatched the Black Sabre Battalion to respond.

Otherwise, if he was just a little eunuch, how could the people from the Black Knife Battalion go to the rescue?

Yang Ning still clearly remembered that when Duan Canghai and others found the traces of the Black Sabre Camp at the broken temple, their reaction was a big surprise. In their opinion, the Black Sabre Camp would not even go out because of the prince of the Marquis. It must be a big thing to be dispatched. At this time, I remembered that it was of course because Xiao Guang was the crown prince. The crown prince was in danger, and the Black Sabre Battalion would naturally be dispatched to support him.

He reluctantly pieced together the fragments in Yang Ning’s mind, thinking that even if he didn’t guess all of them correctly, he should be inseparable.

But he heard Xiao Guang’s voice saying: “My son wants to personally try the clothes of these palace servants to see if they are comfortable to wear and see if there is any room for improvement.”

Yang Ning thought to himself that you lied without hesitation, his voice was calm, and it was like the real thing.

“Improve the costumes?” The queen mother’s voice came over and said: “These things, the Emperor He Lao personally inquired? Moreover, the costumes of the palace servants are not every year or two, and they have been like this for many years, so why should they be improved?”

Hearing the Queen Mother’s voice, Yang Ning didn’t look old, and he sounded like a person in his thirties. He thought that Xiao Guang was only sixteen or seventeen years old. It was not too late for women to have children in this era. Logically speaking, this A queen mother should be no more than forty years old.

The little emperor Longtai respectfully said: “It is the son who has overstepped. Please ask the mother to punish.”

The queen mother’s tone was slightly gentle, and said: “The emperor has just ascended the throne, and he wants to break the old and bring forth the new, and make every effort to govern. This is of course good, but it is not necessary to overthrow everything. I have established the country of Chu, and it has been painstakingly managed by three generations of emperors. This is passed to your hands, they are all wise and martial, many rules, they have customized, can not be easily changed.”

The little emperor Longtai said: “My son knows. Everything follows the ancestral system, and my son does not dare to change it.”

Although Yang Ning listened to Long Tai’s tone, he always felt a little weird. He thought that this was a mother-son conversation, and there was no one else in the room. Long Tai’s tone seemed to be a little too respectful. Mother and son get along alone, even in the royal family. People should not be so respectful.

Too much respect makes it seem too outlandish, and there is no warmth between mother and son.

“I am very pleased that the emperor can sympathize with the difficulties of our ancestors in starting a business.” The queen mother said: “Your Majesty, I originally wanted to invite you to go to this palace, but I thought that the emperor was busy these days, so this palace came over in person. , I want to discuss something with the emperor.”

Long Tai said, “What’s your mother’s order?”

“Your Majesty, you are already sixteen years old. According to reason, you should have got married long ago.” The Queen Mother sighed softly: “It’s just that the front has been fighting for a few years. This palace also has to take care of the late emperor, so it was delayed.” After a pause, he said, “Now that the emperor has ascended the throne, we should arrange the marriage as soon as possible. The universe is yin and yang, and there is no queen in the harem. It is always impossible.”

Longtai still respectfully said: “Mother, my son has just ascended the throne, and the most important thing is to learn to handle state affairs. The son thinks that when he can handle political affairs alone, and then mature, it will not be too late to get married again.”

“Cultivating one’s own family, governing the country and the world.” The Empress Dowager said: “There is a clear teaching in ancient times, if you want to align your family, you must cultivate your body first, and if you want to govern the country, you must first align the family. The emperor has not yet married, so how can the family be regulated? If the family cannot be regulated, how can the country be governed? For a man to mature, the best way is to start a family first, so that he can mature quickly.”

Yang Ning hid behind the bookshelf, but at this time he had already understood a bit.

It seems that the empress dowager is here today for the marriage of the little emperor Longtai. The empress dowager wants to marry the emperor as soon as possible, but Longtai’s tone seems to be unwilling to get married immediately after he ascends the throne.

After a while of silence, I heard Long Tai say, “Is the queen mother asking her son to marry Sima Wanqiong?”

The Empress Dowager said in a rather unhappy tone, “Wan Qiong is the emperor’s cousin, she has been smart and wise since childhood, and now she is a sensible, intelligent and virtuous girl. The emperor should know that before the battle of Qinhuai, the late emperor had intended to let Wanqiong enter the palace as a virtuous woman. Crown Princess, it was only delayed by the war.”

“But the emperor did not mention this to his son.” Long Tai said.

The empress dowager’s tone was even more displeased, “What does the emperor mean, do you mean that this palace is lying?”

“My son doesn’t dare. UU reading www.sonicmtl.com” Long Tai said immediately: “My son knows that establishing an empress is a major matter of the country, and it’s not who the son likes, so let whoever is in the palace be the queen, and whoever doesn’t like it, Not allowed to enter the palace.”

“The emperor can put the country first, this is the blessing of the big Chu.” The queen mother said: “But the emperor means, does it mean that you don’t like Wan Qiong? Regardless of appearance, character, and family background, Wan Qiong is already incompetent. You can be picky, in the world, this palace really can’t think of another person who is qualified to be the queen.”

“Don’t be in a hurry.” Long Tai’s tone was calm: “My son just thinks, if such a big event, do you need to call some loyal ministers in the court to discuss it together?”

“I don’t think this is necessary in this palace.” The Queen Mother’s tone was rather cold, “This is a royal matter, and there is no need for those foreign ministers to make irresponsible remarks.”

Yang Ning listened to this, thinking that it seemed that the mother and son were rather cold because of this marriage. The queen mother obviously insisted on making that Sima Wanqiong the queen, but Longtai seemed to have other considerations. She is also the cousin of the little emperor Longtai, but she doesn’t know which eldest daughter of a prince or aristocrat she is.
