After Wu Sheng answered on his behalf, Han Jiao, who was standing above the palace gate, smiled: "I can't bear such a crime. Since the young master is suspicious, please come into the palace."
Everyone was stunned.
Immediately, the magic circle was closed, and the heavy palace door slowly opened. Si Gong Han walked out of the palace door and bowed to the young master on the chariot: "Young Master, please come into the palace. Your Majesty is waiting for you in the palace."
Young Master Qingyu looked at Wu Sheng hesitantly, and Wu Sheng was also full of doubts. He stepped forward and asked: "Han Si Palace, is there nothing abnormal in the palace?"
Han Jiao smiled and said: "Everything is as usual."
Wu Sheng asked again: "Where is Mr. Cheng Shuang?"
Han Jiao said: "The eldest son has not entered the palace."
Wu Sheng turned around and greeted: "Take over the palace gate."
Dong Da, Suo Laoliu and Zhang Xiaokeng rushed in first, and soon appeared above the palace gate, shouting to Wu Sheng: "Everything is as usual!"
Wu Sheng waved his hand again, and Yong Zhi and Uncle Yong entered with their swords in hand, guarding the door. Wu Sheng stepped into the palace gate and saw that inside was an empty atrium the size of an acre, surrounded by three-story high-rise buildings.
Upstairs and downstairs, there were more than a dozen palace people standing respectfully with their hands lowered, and there were also several palace guards, but they were all standing by and had no intention of obstructing them. As expected, everything was as usual.
It turns out that the palace of Yong Kingdom, or rather the prince's mansion, was so simple and crude.
The chariot followed Wu Sheng in. Young Master Qingyu got off the chariot, took a deep breath, and went straight to the main building opposite the atrium. A group of retainers who followed in were guarding various places and closed the palace door again.
Wu Sheng accompanied Young Master Qingyu to the highest point of the main building, which was Yonghou's bedroom. Two maids opened the curtains, and Han Jiao turned sideways to invite him: "Your Majesty, you have been waiting for a long time. Young Master, please!"
Wu Sheng stopped Young Master Qingyu and looked around the palace first. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, he accompanied him into the palace.
The so-called sleeping hall is just a slightly larger room, with a large bed in the center leaning against a landscape screen.
Wu Sheng thought about it for a while and realized that the screen and the big bed were ordinary objects, not magical objects. He looked under the bed again and went around behind the screen, but found no problem.
Han Jiao kept smiling and said nothing, and did not feel dissatisfied at all with Wu Sheng's rude behavior. He quietly came to the bedside, lifted Yonghou up, and put a pillow on his back.
Seeing that Marquis Yong was fine, Prince Qingyu fell to the ground in fear: "My son and I have nothing to do, just because I am worried about your father... In short, I disturb my father's dream, and my son and I are unfilial!"
Yonghou coughed twice and said feebly: "My son, come to me."
Qingyu trembled, stood up and sat on the edge of the bed. Yonghou looked at Qingyu with a smile on his face.
Qingyu said with difficulty: "Tonight...there are changes in the city...I am concerned about you, sir..."
Yonghou stretched out his hand covered with black spots, like dry firewood, and pointed at the screen on the right side of the bed: "My son, take a look."
What is painted on the screen is the topographic map of Yongguo, a city of Shangyong, surrounded by several hills and large areas of farmland, as well as the Pun River and Zhuye River flowing from the mountains in the north. The northern border ends at Huyi.
To the west of the mountain is Kuiqiu, to the east is Yutou City, and to the south is the Baiyue Mountains.
It spans more than a hundred miles from east to west and dozens of miles from north to south. I don't know which painter was hired. The scroll is extremely detailed, and more than a dozen savage villages outside the city are also marked on it, which is clearly visible.
Is this the topographic map of mountains and rivers that is the symbol of the country? Wu Sheng's eyes were also attracted, and he thought of a colleague of his - a colleague of his in the past. Then he thought of Langshan, his friend Wan who was good at drawing bellybands.
Tao Valley Master, I don’t know what’s going on now.
While he was daydreaming, at the signal of Marquis Yong, Han Jiao stepped forward and turned the screen. There was a picture scroll on the back of the screen. It had a vast territory, with Qin in the north, Ba in the west, Chu in the east, and more in between.
There are more than ten small countries such as Kui, Yu, Lu, Tang, etc. They are dozens of times bigger than before!
This is a map of the mountains and rivers when Yongguo was strong and powerful decades ago.
Yonghou asked: "What did my son see?"
Prince Qingyu said sadly: "I have seen my homeland."
Yonghou suddenly shouted in a hoarse voice: "What I saw is humiliation!"
There was a roar that made people panic. The dying Marquis Yong, who had no idea where his spirit came from, burst out with amazing courage, his face turned red, and he loudly said: "I, Dayong, followed King Wu to destroy the Shang Dynasty and swore an oath for the eight kingdoms.
One, with a land of thousands of miles, millions of people, and noble princes for generations! That Chu State, who was no longer a prince, pretended to be the king, but took advantage of my carelessness, teamed up with herding horses and despised Qin, and the wild barbarians destroyed our country and moved to me.
Ancestral hall, as for this land of a hundred miles. My ancestor died in shame and anger, and I will die in depression. When will this humiliation be repaid? When will the Wu River of Han River return?"
Young Master Qingyu clenched his fists: "My son... I must avenge my shame!"
Yonghou stared at Qingyu for a long time. The flush on his face faded and turned yellow again. He murmured: "This is the best, this is the best."
There was silence in the palace for a moment, and Marquis Yong said softly: "I have been waiting for you and the couple to come first. As expected, I have been waiting for you. You are very good. You dare to break into the palace, but the couple dare not.
He failed to live up to everyone's expectations..."
Young Master Qingyu quickly lowered his head: "My son is guilty..."
Marquis Yong smiled: "Dayong has been to this day. He doesn't even dare to break into the palace gate. He only wants to sit and wait for the people of Chu to give alms. How can he cheer up? You have such courage, I can only be happy... My son only remembers one thing, I want to
Those who use strength must first submit to their weakness; those who wish to strengthen the country must assess the situation and assess the situation. Now that the people of Chu are strong, they can only lie dormant and not use their energy to act."
After saying that, he coughed a lot, making his body hunched up, and his face became even sickly flushed.
Prince Qingyu grabbed Yonghou's withered palm, touched it to his forehead, and cried: "Sir, stop talking, don't bother me..."
Marquis Yong said warmly: "I have no time left. You must say what you need to say quickly, otherwise you won't be able to say it. You are a brother, and you are respected by the old ministers. I can't help you. I have only one thing for you. In the future,
No matter what, it all depends on you...Korean friends..."
Han Jiao held up a scarf, and after opening it, there was a bronze seal and a red ribbon tied to the seal. This was Yonghou's seal ribbon.
In addition, there was an edict, which only contained a simple sentence: "——The successor will enter the ancestral hall." In the blank space in front, Yonghou took up his pen and wrote the word "Qingyu" on the spot.
With a smile, he looked at the tearful young master Qingyu, who hung up his seal to receive the imperial edict. Yonghou nodded and coughed several times, then passed away suddenly.
Young Master Qingyu burst into tears and was helped to the lower main hall by Han Jiao. Han Jiao led dozens of palace servants and palace guards to bow down to Young Master Qingyu and called him "Your Majesty."
After Wu Sheng bowed again, he asked Qing Yu to express his condolences: "Your Majesty, stop being sad! The most important thing right now is to inform the country about your succession, so as not to cause Xiaoxiao to cause trouble."
Qingyu wiped away his tears and said: "I have ascended the throne today and want to worship the alchemist as a diviner. Is that okay?"
Wu Sheng declined and said, "How virtuous and capable is this minister, that he dares to become one of the great officials? I am afraid that I will provoke criticism from the people of Chu."
This is to remind Qingyu that Bu Yin has an important position in the Qing Dynasty and is to report to the Chu State. This is clearly against Shen Douke, which is not appropriate. In fact, he does not want to be in this position.
Such a prominent position is too eye-catching.
Qingyu thought about it and changed his words: "I hope you will not relinquish your position as guest minister."
Keqing is a casual position with no specific duties. It is located at the end of the lower level of the official. There is no need to inform the Chu people. Even if the Chu people know, it is not a big deal. Yunji, the dead ghost at the time, was the Keqing in the Fish Kingdom. But although the Keqing has no duties,
However, you can always respond to the imperial edict and prepare for inquiries. If the king values you, you will have great power.
Wu Sheng bowed to Qingyu and said: "I have received the imperial edict!"
