Dajin royal family

Chapter 97
The sacrificial text was just floating in the air under the eyes of everyone, and King Qi's heart that had been cooled down once again fell into an ice cellar. At this moment, he only had two words in his mind: it's over.

And the emperor also slowly closed his eyes, if it wasn't for the wrong occasion, he would have rushed up to reward King Qi with a few mouthfuls and then kicked him hard.This trash, it's nothing more than the sacrificial text being swapped, but now it's so incompetent that it can't even hold a piece of paper.

The sacrificing oration was so undead that it happened to fall among the ministers. Many people glanced sideways and found that there was not a single word on it.It turned out that King Qi didn't recite the sacrificial oration because there were no words on it at all. No wonder the emperor asked Yu Shinan to recite it temporarily. He was not reciting at all, but memorizing it!

Jiang Chengxiao couldn't see the sacrificial text from his position, but he vaguely heard someone whispering that there was no word on the sacrificial text.He is not stupid, he understood the reason why King Qi asked Yu Shinan to recite instead of recitation.Good guy, I don't know whose handwriting this is, it's amazing to play these on such an occasion.These old foxes are getting bigger and more ruthless than the other.

It is no exaggeration to say that if the king of Qi has not recited the sacrificial rites today, then tomorrow the whole world in Chang'an City will know that there are no words on the rites recited by the king of Qi, and that the emperors of all dynasties did not approve of the king of Qi.

This is not a trivial matter, this kind of sacrifice is of extraordinary significance in this era, and a prince who has not been recognized by his ancestors, what qualifications does he have to spy on Baoding?
"Look down!"

Just when he was thinking wildly, King Zhao, who was kneeling in front of him and also heard the discussions of the officials, warned him in a low voice.Jiang Chengxiao lowered his head even more. Anyone who gets involved in this kind of thing is a dead end, even if he is a clan.

The servant walked down quickly to pick up the sacrificial rite, walked up to the altar and handed it to King Qi.At this time, the king of Qi was no longer as vigorous as he was at the beginning, he took the sacrificial rites in a daze, and walked to the furnace to burn the rites.

Here, the sacrifice is over.The emperor had a gloomy face, passing through the group of officials, the king of Qi lost his soul and followed the emperor, the prince was expressionless, and everyone obeyed, slowly got up and followed the emperor to leave.

Kneeling for about an hour, Jiang Chengxiao almost couldn't get up, his knees were completely numb, and he stood up slowly, the hem of his clothes was completely soaked in snow.At this time, someone tapped on the shoulder suddenly, and King Zhao's voice came, "You go back to the mansion first, you don't have to wait to be a father. Today's matter, what comes into your ears can't come out of your mouth, I understand."

Jiang Chengxiao understood the meaning of Zhao Wang's last words, "Qingque knows the severity."

Zhao Wang nodded and left quickly.Looking at Zhao Wang's back, and then the backs of the officials, he also felt that the weather was too cold at the moment, and it was so cold in his heart.

Unconsciously, he shivered, and subconsciously wrapped his robe tightly.Looking back at the altar in the wind and snow, there was misty smoke in the wind and snow.The end of the year, which has finally calmed down, is about to make waves again.

"thump!"

Suddenly there was a burst of exclamation in front, and then someone shouted: "Master Xiao, Master Xiao, Master Xiao"

In the inner room of the imperial study, the emperor stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, and the crown prince and King Qi knelt on the ground.Zhao Wang stood aside expressionlessly, while Guan Wang also looked at his eyes, nose, nose and heart, imitating his example, without saying a word, but he also took a sneak peek at the crown prince and Qi Wang when he took the time.

Needless to say, the king of Qi, he can hardly shirk his responsibility for such a big incident in the sacrificial ceremony. What's more serious is that if rumors spread that "the previous emperors did not approve", the king of Qi will basically have no chance of being a crown prince in his life. up.Therefore, King Qi looked devastated, and King Guan estimated that as long as the emperor got angry, King Qi would cry and cry immediately, saying that he didn't know about it.

And the prince is also lost in spirit, Guan Wang can understand the prince's state of mind at this moment.After all, the emperor handed over the position of assistant priest to King Qi. Does it mean that the emperor meant to abolish the crown prince?But in other words, King Qi himself didn't seize the opportunity this time, and there was no word on the sacrificial oration, so it must have been dropped.If a good opportunity is not seized, King Qi is really useless.

In other words, if the assistant priest is replaced by the prince, the prince will still be finished.Thinking about it this way, King Guan suddenly felt sorry for the prince, no matter what he did, the prince seemed to have no way out.

In addition to the inner room, there is also a large group of important officials standing in the outer room of the imperial study.After the sudden snowstorm, the news that there was no word in the sacrificial oration had spread to all the officials.Everyone knows that King Qi's sacrificial oration has no words, and everyone knows that there is something tricky in it.Among them, the one with the most solemn expression was no different from a minister and two servants from the Ministry of Rites.

On the way back, Xiao Dan accidentally fell down, his robe was full of stains, his whole body was a little sluggish, he had to be supported to stand up.The two ministers of the Ministry of Rites, Pei Ju and Yu Shinan, had different expressions.Yu Shinan sighed from time to time, but Pei Ju was much calmer, making it hard to see what he was thinking at the moment.

Also frowning were Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Duguzheng and others. It can be said that this sudden change made them a little dizzy.Given the current circumstances, who would do that?
Boom!

Suddenly there was a sound from the inner room of the Imperial Study Room. It was the sound of porcelain being thrown to the ground and shattered, and it was the sound of tables being pushed to the ground, mixed with the emperor's shouting and cursing.All the ministers immediately kept silent as if exchanging greetings.

In the inner room, the underground was in a mess, Zhao Wang and Guan Wang bowed their bodies, the crown prince and Qi Wang bowed their heads on the ground, the emperor stared at Qi Wang, and sternly shouted: "You useless thing, I let you be in charge of the sacrificial ceremony, If you can't even do this little thing well, what use are you!"

King Qi replied tremblingly: "Father, someone is framing my son and slandering his reputation. The sacrificial text has been kept in the hands of the Ministry of Rites, and my son really doesn't know, Father!" King Qi did not surprise King Guan, The emperor was angry, and he really began to cry and shirk responsibility.

King Zhao glanced at King Qi speechlessly, and it really was hopeless.What the emperor needs is a prince who can take responsibility, not a waste who only knows to cry when something happens.If there is a disturbance in the sacrifice, if some people talk nonsense, the emperor's authority may be shaken. King Qi is really not on the right track.

Hearing King Qi's words, the emperor was really furious, pointed at him again and again, and scolded: "Cry, what else do you do except cry all day long, what's the use of crying at this time. I'm really blind, how can I let you but This important task, Shu Zier!"

At this time, the prince straightened up slowly. He was fat and the weather was cold. Fat people were most afraid of the cold, so they wore a lot of clothes, so the posture of wanting to straighten up was a bit funny.He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, cupped his hands and said, "Father, I don't blame my second brother for this matter. It's useless to be a servant. If it's not for his poor health, he can't help the father to sacrifice, and the father will not feel sorry for his son." The body of the minister, let the second younger brother do the work. It must be that the previous emperors did not like the son to be the crown prince, so they used this matter to tell the father. The son, the son"

At this point, the prince's love was deep, and he sobbed in a low voice, "I know that my virtue is not worthy of the position. In the East Palace, I can neither share the worries of the emperor and father, nor can I calm down the people. I also ask the father to take back the sacred. I would like to practice on my behalf and pray for my father, queen and queen." After he finished speaking, he bowed to the ground, and the only sound left in the inner room was the sobbing of the prince.
