Hu Xiaotian said: "It's a long way to Dakang, and the weather is getting hotter, so if you want to ensure that the princess's remains are not corrupted, you still need to borrow something from Your Majesty." ” Xue Shengkang said: "Shi Kuan, immediately go and prepare a good cold jade coffin, and then go and take the Ice Spirit Concentration Bead and send it to Qichen Palace immediately."
"The Ice Spirit Concentration Bead is placed in the mouth of the corpse, which can ensure that the corpse will not rot for a hundred days, and the cold jade coffin is carved from the thousand-year-old cold jade that is a specialty of Dayong Ice and Snow City, which is used to store the corpse, which can last for a hundred years, and the appearance is still lifelike.
These two things are both priceless treasures, and Xue Shengkang gave them to Hu Xiaotian without hesitation, not only out of gratitude to him for relieving his illness, but also because of his guilt for the assassination of Princess Anping.
"Yes" Hu Xiaotian saw Xue Shengkang so happy, not only promised to give them the Ice Spirit Determination Pearl, but also gave them a cold jade coffin, and he also had a little more good impression of this Emperor Dayong in his heart, and said: "Xiaotian still has a request, I implore Your Majesty to find out the real culprit as soon as possible and bring him to justice, so that my princess can also look at Jiuquan" Speaking of this, his eyes were red again, Hu Xiaotian is now completely involved in the play, raising his hands and feet, and the proportions are just right, and Xue Shengkang's ability can't see his flaws.
Xue Shengkang said: "You don't have to worry, Princess Anping is not only the princess of Dakang, but also my daughter-in-law, no matter who dares to assassinate in Yongdu, it is against me, even if I dig Yongdu three feet into the ground, I will find out the killer." ” "Thank you, Your Majesty" "When are you going to escort the princess's body back?"
"Of course, the sooner the better" Hu Xiaotian is also worried about the long nights and dreams, according to his plan, it is best to leave Yongdu now, but the reality is in front of him, everything must be settled before leaving, and it will be early tomorrow morning at the earliest.
Xue Shengkang said: "I will arrange everything for you along the way, and I will send someone to escort you back to Dakang." ” Since Xue Shengkang agreed to all his requests.
Hu Xiaotian can't pretend to be stupid, after all, people invited him over not only to comfort him, but for a follow-up, Hu Xiaotian checked the knife wound for Xue Shengkang, the emperor's recovery speed can also be called a god speed, and the knife wound has been completely healed in just two days.
Hu Xiaotian helped Xue Shengkang remove the stitches.
After doing this, he did not stay in the palace, and immediately resigned to Xue Shengkang, and went with Shi Kuan to get the cold jade coffin and the Ice Spirit Determination Bead.
Xue Lingjun didn't choose to leave with Hu Xiaotian, she still had something to say to the imperial brother in private.
Xue Shengkang said: "I haven't gone out for two days, imperial sister, it's better to accompany me to go outside." ” Xue Lingjun nodded, and accompanied him out of the Qinzheng Hall and came to the small garden in the back.
The garden is not big, and the palace walls are high and wide, so standing in it makes me feel cramped.
Xue Shengkang looked at the gloomy sky above his head, his mood was also depressed, he took a deep breath, expanded his lungs as much as possible, and then he exhaled a long mouthful of turbidity, and the feeling of sullenness was slightly reduced.
Whispered: "What do you think" Xue Lingjun said: "When I went to Qichen Palace, I met Dao Ming who took Huo Shengnan and her men away.
Dao Ming seemed very sad and wanted to personally investigate the assassination of Long Xiyue. ” Xue Shengkang didn't speak, his hands clasped together behind his back.
Xue Lingjun said: "Huo Shengnan is Wei Chichong's goddaughter after all, and she is also deeply loved by the queen mother. ” Xue Shengkang said: "Wei Chichong should have gotten the news by now, do you guess he will come out to intercede with me?"
Xue Lingjun said: "It shouldn't be, but the queen mother may intervene." ” Xue Shengkang said: "What would you do if it were me?"
Xue Lingjun smiled and said, "I'm not an imperial brother.
So I don't know what the Imperial Brother will do. ” Xue Shengkang said: "Just now Shi Kuan said in front of me that he must find out about the matter of Qichen Palace as soon as possible, guess how I responded to him" Xue Lingjun said: "In fact, really finding out the truth of the matter may not be what the imperial brother is willing to see. ” Xue Shengkang nodded and said, "I think so too.
He walked to the pool, looked at the number of fish swimming in the pool, and whispered, "Do you know why I agreed to this marriage?"
Xue Lingjun shook his head.
Xue Shengkang said: "The marriage with Dakang was proposed by the queen, what kind of calculation did she have in her heart."
How could I not know that Concubine Shu has always wanted Daoming to marry Xiang Liren's youngest daughter, and the reason why I didn't agree is because the influence of the Dong family and the Xiang family in Dayong is not trivial, if they let the two families marry, each other's power will definitely climb up a level, I don't want to see such a situation.
Although Princess Anping is the princess of Dakang, but now Dakang is dying, and she, the royal sister, has long lost her former glory.
Concubine Shu thought that Daoming would not gain anything from this marriage, because this incident had caused trouble in front of me many times. ” Xue Lingjun said: "Dao Ming has always been the pride of her heart, and she loves her to the extreme, so it is inevitable that she will do some irrational things.
Her words meant something, obviously implying that the assassination of the palace was likely to be related to Concubine Shu.
Xue Shengkang smiled: "What mother in the world does not love her child and licks her calf deeply, once she is deeply in love, she will inevitably be trapped by love, and who can stay sober" Xue Lingjun said: "Brother Huang, why didn't you settle the prince's affairs earlier?"
Xue Shengkang nodded and said, "Originally, I thought it was too early to do this, but after this illness, my mind has changed a lot. ” Xue Lingjun said: "Who does the imperial brother prefer?"
Xue Shengkang said: "Who can take over my position has nothing to do with who I like more, which child I like, that is the selfish feelings in my heart, but this country is not my own, but the blood and sweat of the ancestors and ancestors to establish the merits, I have no right to pass the throne to anyone by virtue of my heart's preferences, those who can serve as the emperor must have the ability to lead the Dayong ministers, but also have the determination to persevere, and the ambition and ambition to unify the Central Plains."
He turned to Xue Lingjun and said, "According to you, among my sons, who is more qualified to take my place?"
Xue Lingjun said: "The imperial brother is the dragon and phoenix among the people, with all due respect, among my nephews, most of them have outstanding minds and wisdom, but when it comes to mind, none of them can match the imperial brother." ” Xue Shengkang nodded and said: "The one who knows my mind best is always you, a successful emperor does not need a superior mind, let alone the force of the three armies, what is really needed is a mind, only with a lofty mind can he have a long-term vision, an emperor should know what can be tolerated, what things cannot be changed, should know, who is available, who must stay away."
No matter how outstanding a person's wisdom is, it can't compare to the wisdom of a group of people, and no matter how strong a person's martial arts are, there is only a share of waiting to be killed in the army. ” Xue Lingjun said: "Since the imperial brother said so, he must have his own standards in his heart. ” Xue Shengkang said: "Actually, I was most optimistic about Daoming, but in the matter of this marriage, his performance disappointed me.
How can an emperor who can really achieve great things pin his hopes on others and count on a marriage, and count on relying on the strength of others to achieve great things, such a mentality is unacceptable" Xue Lingjun nodded.
Xue Shengkang said: "Since I ascended the throne, I have always pursued the appointment of any courtier, only valuing his talents, and ignoring other things, the relationship between me and the courtiers is like doing business, they give me loyalty, I give them power and wealth, and let them understand that I can give them it, and I can take everything they have at any time." ” A series of dull thunders rolled through the distant sky, and the wind seemed to be much stronger than before.
Xue Shengkang said: "Daoming wants to strengthen his strength in the matter of marriage, if he can marry Xiang Liren's daughter, then the possibility of becoming the crown prince has increased by one point, and Xiang Liren's influence in the court will definitely be able to gather more support for him."
But he did not think of one thing, if a monarch relied too much on a certain courtier, it would only make that courtier arrogant, and no one would be exempt.
A successful monarch makes his courtiers feel important, but by no means indispensable. ” Xue Lingjun looked at the imperial brother with admiration, the imperial brother is eclectic and unique in the way of employing people, which is the foundation for Dayong to maintain rapid development after he ascended the throne.
Xue Shengkang said: "Dao Hong is mature and old-fashioned, although his talent is not as good as Dao Ming, but I can also see his efforts, he can mingle with civil and military officials in the court, and most of the outstanding figures in the young generation of Dayong have become his best friends." ” Xue Lingjun said: "Dao Hong already has the essence of the imperial brother in terms of employing people. ” Xue Shengkang slowly shook his head and said, "You must not be friends between the king and the minister."
A lightning bolt like a golden snake twisted and tore through the thick canopy, illuminating Xue Shengkang's face at the moment, and his deep eyes burst out with a cold reflection.
Xue Lingjun bit her lip and wanted to say something, but she still didn't say it.
Xue Shengkang sighed and said, "Lingjun, in fact, you should know how lonely and lonely your brother's heart is."
The rain finally fell, hitting the pool, rippling in circles, and then quickly becoming dense, turning the outline of the palace and the grass and trees hazy, Xue Shengkang raised his head, his gaze passed through the layers of rain, penetrating the thick clouds, as if he saw a cyan dragon in the sky was circling and flying, the sky will descend on the Si people, his ambition has not yet been realized, he will wave his army to the south in his lifetime, and dominate the Central Plains Thank you to the array league for being red again, and to send a more one, and thank you to all the brothers and sisters who have rewarded and supported the octopus
