Chapter 64: His Royal Highness the Prince of the Moon (31)
Nan Xiao's silence made Master Nan start to think more. Did Rong Jing also tell his daughter about this?
That day, Master Nan knew that Rong Jing's purpose was to rebel, so he planned to help him. Anyway, the two of them were now grasshoppers on the same rope.
Moreover, he also just knew that the Tiansheng Emperor had already planned to get rid of the Nan family.
It was not that he didn't understand the truth that a big tree attracts the wind, but he was deceived by the sage and holy appearance of the Heavenly Saint Emperor.
Loyal ministers, only a wise king needs loyal ministers.
While Mr. Nan was thinking, he heard the eunuch shouting outside: "His Royal Highness has arrived——"
The originally bustling hall became quiet again.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince? Doesn't His Majesty not allow His Highness the Crown Prince to attend various palace banquets?"
"Yes, why did you come so suddenly? Was it your Majesty's order?"
The courtiers hurriedly turned their attention to Tiansheng Emperor. Tiansheng Emperor's face was still calm, but he kept glancing in the direction of the old Taoist priest from the corner of his eye.
Rong Jing was wearing a dark black robe, his hair was not tied up in a bun, and his long hair fell down to his waist. He was walking in slowly, with a strange light in his eyes, which was very different from before.
Everyone was stunned, wondering which song he was singing.
Rong Jing bowed to the Heavenly Saint Emperor above him without even bending down, which could be said to be very perfunctory.
"I wish my father good health. The congratulatory gifts from my son are still on the way and will arrive soon."
Tiansheng Emperor was stunned and before he could speak, he saw him heading in the direction of Nan Xiao.
"Take this off for me and replace it with a new one. I want to sit next to my princess."
Everyone: "..."
After the waiter changed the seats, Rong Jing slowly took his seat. He immediately looked at his beloved and said softly: "Anan, I haven't seen you for a few days. Do you miss me?"
"Think about it."
Nan Xiao smiled, her fingertips were wrapped around a strand of his black hair and she was playing with it. Rong Jing just let her play with it, looking at her with softer eyes.
"Why don't you tie your hair?"
"In a hurry, I forgot."
"Then I'll tie your hair up later."
Rong Jing slightly raised the corners of his mouth: "Yeah."
At this time, the old Taoist priest suddenly spoke.
"Does the Fifth Prince respect His Majesty for his unruly behavior?" He stood up and said, "Your Majesty, you should punish him."
"This is the way my father and I get along. How can you, a piece of shit like you, get to talk? I don't even care about your own identity. Do you deserve it?"
Rong Jing's face didn't look flustered at all, and he leaned back lazily, with a strange cold light reflected in his eyes.
In fact, Rong Jing and Tian Sheng Emperor didn't get along like this at all. Tian Sheng Emperor treated him like a free rein.
After being the prince for so many years, he has no real power, and there is an extenuating reason. When he dies one day, the prince's position will be replaced by another prince who can handle it well.
In this way, the power will always be in the hands of Tiansheng Emperor.
"You-" The old Taoist priest was angered by his words and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't.
Tiansheng Emperor smoothed things over and said: "Okay, okay, it's just a small matter. There is no need to worry about it between father and son."
The old Taoist priest gave him a cold look, which made Emperor Tiansheng shrink back in fear.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Heavenly Saint Emperor opened his mouth, but the old Taoist priest could only keep his mouth shut even if he was unwilling to do so.
The strange attitude of the two people caught the attention of the courtiers. They didn't know what they thought of it, and then they started to remonstrate one after another.
They all said things like not to be stunned by this evil way.
Throughout the ages, many emperors have died while pursuing the art of immortality and taking various elixirs. They would never allow the wise emperor in their hearts to do such stupid things.
Even at the birthday banquet, they had the courage to speak directly because they knew that this was a virtuous and sage monarch who would not care about their rudeness.
The Heavenly Holy Emperor and the old Taoist priest were unable to step down when faced with the accusations from the ministers.
The instigator is sitting on the sidelines watching the show.
Facing the courtiers and the people of the world, the Heavenly Holy Emperor used pretense to cover up the evil in his heart.
Rong Jing curled his lips coldly, if anyone dared to interfere with his decision, he would be killed with a single blow.
The other princes were also silent, and seemed to have no intention of rescuing the Heavenly Saint Emperor. None of the dignified princes had real power, so these princes were even more on guard against the Heavenly Saint Emperor.
Among them, only the sixth prince is still in charge of the military power, but now it seems that he also has an attitude of indifference.
Seeing this situation, Nan Xiao asked Xiaobai: "Is this part of the plot included?"
Xiaobai immediately called up the relevant plot to watch.
[Yes, after the death of the original owner, Nan Qianqian married Rong Qi. Master Nan and Mrs. Nan were depressed because of the death of their daughter. Nan Qianqian took this opportunity to let the Nan family's power do things for Rong Qi.
.]
[It was at this palace banquet that she recited hundreds of poems, which immediately captured the hearts of the literati present. The poems she recited later spread even more widely, and the people were all happy because there was a literary giant like her.]
Nan Xiao said: "It's not from Nan Qianqian. You can find it for me from the Heavenly Holy Emperor and the old Taoist priest."
Xiaobai searched again and read out according to the plot shown above.
[Nan Qianqian recited all the poems at once, and the ministers were all excited. At this moment, a group of troops suddenly broke into the hall and surrounded everyone. 】
[Immediately afterwards, the Sixth Prince stood up and forced the Heavenly Saint Emperor to abdicate. The Heavenly Saint Emperor did not agree, so he had no choice but to stab the Heavenly Saint Emperor to death with a sword in full view of everyone. 】
[Actually, the seventh prince was also involved in this matter, but he was better at pretending. He told the sixth prince that after he won the throne, he could be given the position of vassal king. He has always been a leisurely man, not interested in fame and fortune.
The sixth prince believed his words.】
[As a result, no one expected that there would be a reversal later. The Heavenly Saint Emperor killed by the Sixth Prince was not the real Heavenly Saint Emperor, but just a substitute with the same face as the Heavenly Saint Emperor. The real Heavenly Saint Emperor
In fact, it’s just...that old Taoist priest!】
Xiaobai looked surprised: [I see. No wonder the old Taoist priest wears a human skin mask and approves memorials. It turns out that he did this to hide himself, host. You already knew about this, right? 】
Nan Xiao nodded: "I guessed it, but I didn't know that the Sixth Prince would rebel at this palace banquet."
The one who rebelled was the Sixth Prince, but what about Rong Jing?
[I didn’t expect it to be him. I always thought he was a little fool. But then again, Tian Sheng Emperor’s move was really clever. He directly detected that the prince wanted to rebel, and then killed him. 】
"So, Rong Qi was involved, and after being found out, he framed the blame on Rong Jing, right?"
[Yes, after this incident, the Heavenly Saint Emperor firmly held all the rights in his own hands. Even the official position of Chief Assistant was removed. He did not abdicate and became the Supreme Emperor until later when he felt that his health was not good.
, However, he still has to nod his head when it comes to government matters, and Rong Qi, the emperor, can only be regarded as a decoration.】
What follows is Rong Jing's resurrection and his return, raising his troops to attack the city.
