"Zhi'er, why did you come here late at night?" Emperor Qin asked calmly. In fact, he had already expected that Qin Zhixuan's request for an audience at this time must be related to the news from Qingzhou. "I beg my father to abolish my position as prince and replace him with a virtuous one!" Qin Zhi kowtowed, but when he raised his head, tears were streaming down his face. "Nonsense!" Emperor Qin looked angry, slapped his right hand on the case, and said angrily: "Is it child's play for the prince to depose him? You are seriously ill. Why did the prince ask to be deposed?" " Returning to my father, it's not just the son's nonsense, but!" Qin Zhi looked hesitant and hesitated to speak, but finally gritted his teeth and said: "There are discussions in the court that Shanhe Ding chose Qingzhou to settle. , It's because the current prince has lost his virtue, and he must establish another crown prince to inherit the great cause in order to comply with God's will and ensure the prosperity of the Qin Dynasty!" "Who dares to spread this rumor, I will never spare him!" Emperor Qin's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he was furious! He said authentically: "I'm not dead yet! Anyone who spreads this rumor will be punished!" "I just heard rumors, and I don't know where the rumors came from!" Qin Zhizhuang was extremely aggrieved and replied with tears in his eyes. "Hmph! I must see who is causing trouble by spreading rumors!" Emperor Qin seemed to be trying his best to calm down the anger in his heart, but he could not hide the seriousness in his tone. After a pause, his face softened a little, and he comforted him with kind words: "Don't think wildly, go back and have a good rest. As long as you behave upright and be careful about your beginnings and respects your end, why are you afraid of mere rumors?" "My son, I sincerely respect your father's teachings. I'm going to retire. Father, please take care of yourself and rest early!" Prince Qin Zhi bowed deeply and slowly retreated. But when he walked out of the palace gate and wiped away the tears with his sleeve, a proud smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "You are loyal, have you seen it? Prince Chunxiao came to see me late at night just to remind me that now the Mountain and River Cauldron has fallen in Qingzhou, and only the one who wins the cauldron can conquer the world. If nothing is done, the country will be destroyed. It fell into the hands of others!" Emperor Qin looked into the sky and sighed: "Zhi'er felt that his virtue was insufficient and asked to be deposed as the prince. Do you think I followed his wishes?" Wei Jinzhong was silent for a long time, and then said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince just wants to protect himself!" He could clearly see from the side that Qin Zhi came here to show off his grievances and resorted to retreat in order to protect himself. His position as prince actually has a deeper meaning. His words reminded the emperor everywhere that the officials in the court had different intentions because of the fall of the Shanhe Tripod in Qingzhou. Not only did they want to "comply with God's will" to support the new prince, but they also wanted the new prince to ascend the throne as soon as possible! There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters in the country. How can the emperor give up the power to control the country so easily when he is in his prime? Under the imperial power, father, son, and brother have always been ignored! It is only natural that the emperor would be murderous because of this! What Qin Zhi did was to kill someone with a borrowed knife! "I also know that when Shanhe Ding falls in Qingzhou, Zhi'er will have the most trouble sleeping and eating!" Emperor Qin shook his head, with a melancholy look on his face: "I have no intention of deposing the prince. He will stay for two months. , I have arranged my posthumous affairs, and am preparing to pass the throne to the crown prince. However, God¡¯s will is unpredictable, and I can¡¯t understand it now, and I can¡¯t control it much.¡± In an instant, Emperor Qin seemed to be more than ten years old, with a light hand. He held his forehead and slowly closed his eyes. Wei Jinzhong couldn't help feeling sad when he saw this. His Majesty has been in power for more than thirty years and can be called a wise king. Unfortunately, he is suffering from poisonous diseases and his life is not long now, so he has long wanted to pass on the throne. The prince wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone, but he made a mistake! Just as he was about to persuade the emperor to take a rest as soon as possible, he couldn't help but feel something in his heart. He looked at the palace door with a look of shock on his face. After a while, the young servant came in again, and was about to report, but the emperor suddenly couldn't help himself with his joy. He suddenly stood up and said, "Is Master Ziji coming? I'll invite you soon!" After a pause. After a while, he hurriedly said: "Allow me to go and greet you personally!" Master Ziji and Du Chongxiao were waiting for the summons in front of the Yangxin Hall. This was the second time Du Zhongxiao entered the palace, and unlike his last visit, Headmaster Ziji did not need to be introduced by anyone. He showed a dragon-patterned gold medal to the guards guarding the palace, and four guards with swords took them directly. Go to the Yangxin Hall. The palace door opened wide, and Emperor Qin, who was full of joy, came out in person and invited Master Ziji in. As for Du Chongxiao, he could only continue to wait outside the door. Fortunately, he was not alone. Manager Wei, whom he had met once before, was also standing with him! In the Yangxin Hall, there are only two people left, Emperor Qin and Master Ziji. Emperor Qin suddenly knelt down on the ground, bowed deeply to Ziji Palm and said: "My nephew is for the sake of all the people in the world, thank you for your great kindness!" Ziji frowned, held up his hands, and felt a burst of true energy After giving birth, Emperor Qin helped Emperor Qin up and said: "The Holy One is the Son of Heaven, and calls people saints. How can a poor man dare to receive this great gift?" Emperor Qin stood up and said in a sincere voice: "If it weren't for the emperor's intervention, these mountains and rivers would be destroyed. I am afraid that the tripod has already fallen into the hands of the demon clan. This time of worship?This is for the hundreds of millions of people in our eastern land, and the emperor's uncle deserves it! " Headmaster Ziji slowly shook his head and said: "This is not the work of a single person, but the result of the concerted efforts of all the sects in the world! Furthermore, the poor Taoist has converted to Sanqing, so the Holy One should not address him as the emperor's uncle anymore! Emperor Qin sighed secretly, and had no choice but to change his title and said: "The real person came to see me late at night, but it was about the Mountain River Cauldron?" " "Exactly! "Headmaster Ziji nodded and said: "This tripod of mountains and rivers was born in Wanren Mountain. Fortunately, heroes from all over the world worked together to finally return the tripod to the east. The Holy One must have received the news. Now the treasure tripod is located in the palace of the Han Dynasty in Qingzhou City, and is temporarily guarded by several brothers and sisters of Pindao. But this is not a long-term solution. Please make a decision early on how to place the mountain and river treasure tripod! " " Could you please trouble all the masters to return the mountain and river tripod to Wu Gong? Emperor Qin asked tentatively. "The tripod seems to have taken root on the ground, and I can't take it away!" Furthermore, if you want to take it by force, I'm afraid it will damage the blessings of the Eastern Land! "Headmaster Ziji slowly shook his head and said. "In my opinion, what should I do? "Emperor Qin humbly asked for advice. "This is a matter for the Holy One. How can a poor Taoist dare to speak nonsense? "Headmaster Ziji shook his head again. "Please give me some advice! " Emperor Qin bowed his head deeply again, his words full of pleading. A look of helplessness flashed in the eyes of Master Ziji. He has been practicing Taoism for more than sixty years and has almost become an immortal, but he still can't avoid this. The bond of family ties. The Emperor Qin in front of him reminded him of the ignorant boy who always pestered him. He sighed softly and said, "As a wise man, you should have understood that if you want to protect the safety of the Mountain and River Cauldron, you have to do it." Two methods. Either send heavy troops to Qingzhou to protect it, or bring the Mountain and River Cauldron back to martial arts! " Emperor Qin was silent for a while, then asked: "The Master just said that when the Mountain and River Cauldron falls to the ground and takes root, it may damage the blessings of the Eastern Land. How can we welcome it back? " "Others can't move, but that person is another matter! "Headmaster Ziji said meaningfully. The 'that person' in his words certainly meant something! "If this happens, I'm afraid it will cause trouble to Xiao Qiang! " Emperor Qin's face was full of worry. If he really allowed his fourteenth son Qin Zheng to welcome Shanhe Ding back, I am afraid it would arouse the prince's suspicion and the other princes' jealousy. If there are people with ulterior motives who add fuel to the fire, disaster will surely happen! "The Holy One is not a person who looks forward and backward. , which one is more important, how come you can¡¯t make up your mind? "Looking at his nephew who was seriously ill and unbearable, Ziji Zhenren could not bear it in his eyes, so he said bluntly. "It's not that I can't make up my mind. It's just that the prince has no fault. How can he abolish the throne so easily? " Emperor Qin smiled bitterly. Of course he understood that the location of Shanhe Ding in Qingzhou Hanwang's Mansion was a sign of destiny. If nothing unexpected happened, the fourteenth son Qin Zheng would be the one who answered the sign! "There is a certain number in the dark, and Everyone's destiny depends entirely on fate! Master Ziji's eyes fell on the emperor's throne in Yangxin Hall and said: "There are times in life that must be there, but there are times in life that are not there, so don't force it!" Some things belong to whomever they belong! " Emperor Qin was stunned for a long time after hearing this. After a while, he sighed deeply and said, "I understand, thank you for your guidance! "In fact, he had already made a choice in his mind, and Master Ziji's words made him firmer in his decision! "This is a bottle of life-saving elixir, which was newly refined by Senior Brother Danyang of Tianyan Peak. Your Majesty takes one pill every day. A pill can temporarily relieve pain and prolong life! "Master Ziji presented a crystal jade bottle. "Thank you Master for your concern! " Emperor Qin looked moved and took the jade bottle with both hands. He knew that he didn't have much time left, and even the panacea could not save his life. The so-called 'prolonging life and extending life' was nothing more than letting him live for a while longer. That¡¯s it! ¡°I want to make the real person the real person who protects the country of Great Qin, in order to honor the real person¡¯s achievements in saving the fate of the world. I don¡¯t know what the real person wants? " Emperor Qin suddenly asked again. Master Ziji shook his head decisively and said: "I just said that this is the result of the concerted efforts of the world's heroes. I dare not accept the reward from the Holy One! " "I have been informed by Feiying that Du Chongxiao, a disciple of Taixuan Qingxu Palace, has returned after risking his life to find the mountain and river treasure tripod. Even if, as the real person said, the return of the tripod to the East is the result of the heroes of the world, there is no doubt that Du Zhongxiao and other real people have made the greatest contribution. How can I not reward it? Emperor Qin smiled slightly and said: "If you insist on refusing, I still have a compromise. Please agree to it!" " Outside the gate of Yangxin Hall, the chief internal officer Wei Jinzhong secretly looked at the young man in front of him. It had been half an hour since Master Ziji entered the temple, but the young man had not shown any impatience. He just stood quietly and watched occasionally. People all around couldn't help but secretly praise him. He was worthy of being the best disciple in the world, but his ability to nourish his energy was beyond the reach of ordinary people. Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps at the end of the corridor. Wei Jinzhong's ears moved slightly and he could distinguish it. Who is coming out? Surrounded by many palace maids and chamberlains, a beauty wearing a bright red double phoenix sunburst dress appeared.??In Chongxiao's sight. "My slave, please pay homage to the Queen!" Manager Wei knelt down and paid homage. "The common people have seen the Queen!" Du Chongxiao also bowed slightly. This time, the female eunuchs who were pregnant with Queen Lin did not dare to accuse Du Chongxiao of not kneeling down. They all recognized that this young man was the disciple of Taixuan Qingxu Palace whom they had met last time, and he had also been named the King of Han. The teacher of the Fourteenth Prince! Queen Lin¡¯s phoenix eyes swept across Manager Wei¡¯s body and finally landed on Du Chongxiao¡¯s face. Her red lips raised a gentle smile and said, "What a coincidence, I meet Mr. Du here again!"
