The first Hades

Chapter 83 The Prince Controversy, A Trip to the East China Sea 2
The Empress Dowager said angrily: "The Ai Family determined that Long Xuanze is Huanglong's incarnation because Xia Houyuan, the Sitianjian, observed the sky at night. "

The old official said without fear of death: "Queen Mother, the astrology has only recently shown its splendor. However, the fourth master did not enter the palace recently, and he has been with the emperor for more than a year. The recent splendor of the astrology alone cannot be sure that the fourth master It is the incarnation of Yinglong. Huanglong may also be the third master, the second master and the great prince."

"Hmph! Then how can you know who is the incarnation of Huanglong?" Another veteran asked quickly.

The veteran said: "The old minister heard that there is a horned dragon named 'Mirage' in the East China Sea. Incarnate, you can tame it and let it become a mount. If the queen mother wants to know who is the incarnation of Huanglong, she can send the four princes to the East China Sea to see who can control the horned dragon, and whoever is the incarnation of Huanglong."

At this time, the three princes who had been stupefied all this time came out suddenly, knelt down together, and cupped their hands. They had never been so tacit, and said in unison: "We are willing to go to the East China Sea to tame the horned dragon, to prove the legend of the yellow dragon, and implore father!" The king and the queen mother are gracious!"

After hearing this, the queen mother and the emperor were so angry that their heads were filled with smoke. From this point of view, the three princes were all dissatisfied with Long Xuanze being made the prince?
The queen mother asked slowly and coldly on the spot: "Are you all dissatisfied with Long Xuanze's appointment as the crown prince of the Eastern Palace?"

This question is too redundant, of course they are not convinced, they just don't want to say it.

Long Xuanfu was the most annoyed, and his anger couldn't be stopped: "Going back to the Queen Mother, Lafayette, this is related to our country and society in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it is not a matter of whether we obey or not. The key is, is Dongfang Ze the incarnation of Huanglong?"

The commander of the guards, Dongfang Ze, was originally just a pawn they wanted to win over.Now it's okay to be on the same level as them, but suddenly they have to ride on their heads and become His Royal Highness by airborne, how can they be convinced?
Lord Xin, Long Xuanjue, said with a slightly red face, "The Dongfang Commander turned out to be my father's dragon species and our fourth younger brother. I am very happy about that. But Dongfang Ze really shouldn't have kept his secrets and deceived us for so long. .Since you know that you are the seed of the father, why have you not recognized each other so long?"

Wei Wang also said as if being stabbed by a needle: "Does the Eastern Commander not believe us, or is he testing us first? He has been with us for a long time, knowing that we are his imperial brother, but he has always remained calm and calm." .”

King Wei and King Xin were almost yelling at Dongfang Ze for being mean and shameless.Long Xuanfu was even more directly provocative.

Seeing the excitement of the crowd, the Empress Dowager finally comforted her: "His Royal Highness cannot be blamed for this, because he didn't know that he was a dragon species beforehand. It was Ai's family who made sure that he was the incarnation of Huanglong after a thorough investigation and blood test."

After the queen mother finished speaking, the emperor continued: "Long Xuanze is my son, and I know this matter best. Long Xuanze's biological mother is Yuefei Hua Yuechan, and the name Long Xuanze was chosen by me personally. Still have questions?"

An old minister replied: "I don't doubt that the fourth prince is the emperor's dragon blood, but I hope that the edict of His Royal Highness can be delayed for a while. Since the four princes have petitioned to go to the East China Sea to subdue the horned dragon, why not the emperor?" Give the four princes a chance to practice and let them go to the East China Sea? This way, we can verify who is the real Huanglong; secondly, the four princes can understand the sufferings of the people along the way. There are all benefits but no harm; three times, after returning from the East China Sea, the other three princes must be convinced of the real Huanglong, surrender to him from then on, and sincerely assist him in governing the world of the Great Zhou. Based on the above reasons, my minister Boldly, please allow the emperor and the queen mother to allow them a trip to the East China Sea! If the fourth master subdues the horned dragon in the future, the ministers will also be convinced and have nothing to say."

This old official knelt down, and in the rest of the court, all the queen mother's party, as well as those who supported King Xin and King Wei, all knelt down and begged with ulterior motives, fearing that this would be a foregone conclusion, and Long Xuanze would become the Prince of the East Palace.

The emperor and the queen mother saw that the various parties in the court were fighting openly and secretly, and there were only a few people who did not kneel down to beg. It is conceivable that those who did not kneel down to beg were neutral, and the rest followed one of the three princes.

The queen mother and the emperor finally agreed to the trip to the East China Sea, but the position of the crown prince remained unchanged, and Long Xuanze still temporarily lived in the Prince's Hall of the East Palace.What they meant was that if someone in the trip to the East China Sea can prove that he is the incarnation of Huanglong, but Long Xuanze is not, then he will be changed to the crown prince.

After leaving the Golden Luan Hall, the three princes exchanged glances with each other and exchanged a few words, as if they had reached a tacit agreement, they immediately blocked Long Xuanze in a place where few people passed by.

Long Xuanfu glared coldly and said: "Long Xuanze! It belongs to brothers, let's practice sword with us again!"

Long Xuanze was thinking about Gu Qingluan in his heart, and was about to leave in a hurry, even the queen mother wanted to get close to him, and wanted to talk about some household matters, but he shied away, saying that the future will be long, and we will talk about it another day.

The empress dowager and the emperor probably also guessed what was on his mind, so they forced him to stay and let him go.

However, the three imperial brothers in front of him stared at him covetously, with a domineering aura, and it seemed that the three imperial brothers joined forces to provoke him.

In fact, he himself did not expect that he would be established as the crown prince after recognizing the emperor's grandmother and father.

However, what he was thinking about today was Gu Qingluan, and he was not that concerned about the position of the prince, but he was afraid that talking too much would delay the time, so he kept silent all the time.

Faced with the obvious anger of the three imperial brothers in front of him, he was forced to cup his hands and said: "Three imperial brothers, practice swords on another day! Today Aze has something important to leave in a hurry, so please invite the three imperial brothers Forgive me! If you just practice swordsmanship, the future will be long."

Long Xuanjue raised his eyebrows, raised his chin high, and said, "What's the hurry? Are you in a hurry to subdue the horned dragon in Penglai, East China Sea? The crown prince is so important to you. Can't you see it?"

"No, I really have something important to do, so please forgive me, three elder brothers!" Long Xuanze knew that he might have difficulty arguing today.I'm afraid it's a lot wrong to say too much.

Wei Wang also stood in front of Long Xuanze with a tall body and said, "Let me ask you, is there anything more important than the brotherhood of our three brothers? If you don't practice swords with us today, we will never recognize you." This brother."

In fact, King Wei, King Xin and King Jing all vaguely guessed that the reason for Aze's eagerness to leave must be to find Gu Qingluan, right?But now they were angry with Long Xuanze, and they made it clear that they wanted to make things difficult for him and not let him go.

Prince Jing said: "Hmph! We don't recognize him, maybe he is already His Highness the Crown Prince and doesn't treat us like brothers."

It seemed that if he didn't fight with them today, they would definitely stalk him, making many excuses to embarrass him.

These three brothers have always been fighting openly and secretly for the position of the crown prince, and now that the crown prince suddenly descended from heaven, it is no wonder that they suddenly became united and came together to provoke him.

Gu Qingluan went out of the palace, I'm afraid he won't be able to find her so easily.The emperor just sent people to search secretly, and did not decree that there would be any harm to Gu Qingluan, which also made him feel at ease.

Long Xuanze had no choice but to compromise: "Okay! Only practice for half an hour. After half an hour, I hope the three emperor brothers will let Aze go. Aze really has something to do in a hurry."

A bright look flashed across Long Xuanjue's eyes and said: "Okay! Refreshing! Half an hour is half an hour. However, we don't practice in the palace, we have to go out of the palace, and we can't let the father and queen know. Even if anyone is injured, he can't complain in front of the father. Would His Royal Highness be willing? This is just a grievance between us brothers, and there is no grudge between life and death."

Long Xuanze froze all over, he never expected that their resentment was so heavy, wouldn't they be afraid that this matter would be heard by someone with a heart and would tell his father and queen mother?

The three princes actually planned to set off to the East China Sea immediately, but before they set off, they wanted to find an excuse to compete with Long Xuanze.

It was because the three of them did not try their best to deal with Long Xuanze on weekdays, they always thought that he was just a commander of the guards, and they just wanted to win him over in the future.

Now his identity has changed and become unacceptable to them.

This tone is really hard for them to swallow, but Dongfang Ze has just been established as the crown prince. If the three of them openly fight with the crown prince and let the father and queen mother know, they will definitely offend the father and queen mother. If you get angry, you will get the reputation of being narrow-minded and unable to accommodate brothers.

So, they asked him to fight outside the palace, which was different.

"Since you agreed, let's wait outside the Nantian Gate and ride out of the palace together. How about a fight at the Red Leaf Bauhinia Pavilion in the western suburbs outside the palace?" His Royal Highness Wei Wang asked.

How could Long Xuanze have the right to refuse?He had to agree if he didn't agree, nodded, and the matter was settled.

He hurriedly went back to explain some things, and left the palace without changing his clothes. Outside the Nantian Gate, Long Xuanze really saw the three princes waiting at the gate even faster than him.

"Let's go!" When the four talents met, they pulled up the reins and galloped away without even saying a word.

Soon, they arrived at the Red Leaf Bauhinia Pavilion in the western suburbs outside the palace, chose an open place, dismounted and stood with their swords in hand.

The three princes suddenly separated, surrounded Dongfang Ze from three directions, and leaped off the horse in a triangular state, holding their hands on the hilt of their swords, standing arrogantly, with their silky hair in the sun, they looked very noble, but also, It was freezing cold.

Long Xuanze was stunned for a moment, and then he understood: "You want three against one?" Although Long Xuanze has high martial arts skills, he never thought that they would fight three against one.

The corner of Xinwang Long Xuanjue's lips twitched lightly and said: "His Royal Highness is very powerful in martial arts, we may not win in three-on-one. One-on-one, I am willing to bow down. After all, the three of us grew up in the court, half of the time is To learn good strategies from the Taifu to govern the country and the world, we need to take care of everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and read poetry and books. As for martial arts, we are still not as good as His Royal Highness who grew up in the rivers and lakes. So , with three against one, it is not a shameful thing."
