Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 945 Legendary Life 11.0

"Sure enough, there is something tricky behind the altar, right?" Jin Miaomiao sat up straight, staring at Shen Cha with piercing eyes, "Sure enough, my premonition is right, right?"

"Yes!" Shen Cha smiled, "Your premonition is always right. You have to have confidence in yourself. You have never had anything wrong. You should have noticed that not only the Buddhist altars have problems, but also the incense table. The problem is that the incense burner above cannot be moved, and you can only insert three sticks of fine incense at most, and it will not work if it is thicker or more."

"Yes, I asked Her Royal Highness the eldest princess why the incense burner has such a structure, but she is not particularly clear." Jin Miaomiao asked Shen Cha to bring all the remaining pine nuts on the table, one by one began to peel up. "His Royal Highness said that this shrine was left by the previous dynasty. The Empress Dowager wanted to remove the incense burner before, but she gave up after several attempts. It doesn't affect anything anyway."

"If you are more curious, you will find that the censer is not completely fixed. It cannot move up and down, but it can turn left and right. Hold the censer with both hands, first turn left four times, and then turn right One turn, then two turns to the left."

"After the turn is over? What kind of wonders will appear?"

"The secret passage behind the altar is revealed."

Shen Cha stood beside Jin Miaomiao, waiting for her to finish peeling the pine nuts, picked up the plate full of pine nuts, and rubbed back to Shen Haolin's side, the two of them ate together.

"You two are really kind, you know how to pick up ready-made ones." Jin Miaomiao raised an eyebrow, "Where does this secret road lead to?"

"According to King Tong's description, the end of this secret road is a very private courtyard outside the city, where the old lady and her confidants meet. It is a pity that they have never seen the scene on the street, and did not catch a Show up." Shen Cha shook his head helplessly, "Prince Tong said that this is a lifetime regret, if they catch the old lady's connection with the outside world, they will get rid of her earlier and won't let her stir up trouble."

"How could it be possible to catch it?" Jin Miaomiao shook his head helplessly, "To be honest, if it wasn't for the concubines and concubines who made trouble, the ones who were cleared and kicked out of the palace before the secret passage was built would be their eyeliners .By the way, what happened to these craftsmen afterwards?"

"The excuse is to repair the mausoleum for the old lady, and then..." Shen Cha gestured on his neck, "Got it?"

"Just as I thought, kill people to silence the mouth." Jin Miaomiao nodded, "Fortunately, the news has been spread in advance, even if you can't catch the real body, you can know that the old lady is not really devoted to worshiping the Buddha, but is pretending to be Under the banner of worshiping the Buddha, make small moves behind your back." She sighed, "How long has the old lady been silent? What opportunity did she use to make a comeback?"

"It took about two and a half years to get a good handle on the people and things around me before I started to implement my plan. She took a fancy to the youngest son of the former Prince Su, who is also the cousin of Emperor Chongde. We must support him to become Emperor Jiaren's successor."

"The youngest son of Su Wang's family is very good?"

"On the contrary, this little prince can be said to be the most inconspicuous among the royal children of Emperor Chongde." Shen Cha shook his head at Jin Miaomiao, "He is relatively timid and stupid, and the old lady chose him At the time, he was already 11 years old, but he hadn’t even read the four books, and he couldn’t explain a thing. The only advantage is that he is very well-behaved and obedient.”

"The only advantage of this is probably the main reason why the old lady chose him." Jin Miaomiao rubbed his chin, "I seem to have said before that the old lady wants to choose an obedient child to be the emperor, and she can listen to the government behind the curtain. "

"That's right, she really thinks so. Power is very important in her eyes, more important than her life."

"I want to fulfill my youthful wish."

"Yes." Shen Cha glanced at Jin Miaomiao, then at the small plate in front of her, saw her protecting it with her hand, smiled lightly, and waved her hand, "Don't eat, you don't have to do this .”

Jin Miaomiao didn't speak, and quickly stuffed all the pine nuts in the plate into her mouth.

"Really!" Shen Cha didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Hey, let's continue talking about the old lady. On the day of Emperor Jiaren's birthday, she mentioned this matter to King Su and Princess Su who came to celebrate his birthday, but she didn't say that she wanted to train the little prince. As the heir, he just said that he has a close relationship with the young prince, who is very similar to her deceased young son, and wants to take the young prince to live in the palace for a while. King Su and Princess Wang are not people who chase after fame and wealth, and they only hope for a smooth life. life, but this does not mean that they have no brains. They know that Emperor Jiaren and the Empress Dowager are at odds, and the Empress Dowager wants her son to enter the palace. When it was mentioned, the two of them declined."

"Rejected? The old lady will never give up. I'm afraid she won't give up so easily for what she wants to do."

"She really didn't give up. In the next month, she will send things to Su Wang's mansion non-stop. These things will be given to the little prince by name."

"This trick is quite ruthless. The little prince is cowardly. He has been rewarded with so many good things for nothing. He must be jealous of other brothers and sisters in the palace. During his time in the palace, as the rewards increase and the things become more and more The more expensive it is, the more difficult it becomes. Even if one hundred or ten thousand of Su Wang and Wang Fei are not happy, for the sake of their little son, they must obediently send the child to the palace."

"However, it was Emperor Chongde and King Tong who persuaded them to send their children to the palace."

"Ah?" Jin Miaomiao was taken aback, "Why the two of them?"

"All the old lady's actions have never left the sight of Emperor Chongde and King Tong, including Emperor Jiaren. The relationship between Emperor Jiaren and King Su has always been very good. The two brothers occasionally meet for drinks, have a meal, and chat Talk about your own dissatisfaction and so on. But since Emperor Jiaren celebrated his birthday, no matter how he made an appointment with King Su, King Su refused to attend the appointment with various excuses. Later, Emperor Chongde and King Tong told Emperor Jiaren what was going on."

"As the saying goes, no one knows a mother than a son, and Emperor Jiaren knew what the old lady was up to before he had heard the whole story." Shen Cha sighed, handed Shen Haolin a cup of tea to moisten his throat, and continued by himself "Although he is an extremely selfish person, this selfishness only means that his personal interests are involved. He can't stand by and watch King Su in trouble, so he asked his son and adopted son to persuade King Su to send the young prince into the palace. Let them tell Su Wang that it is more dangerous for the young prince to stay in the palace than to enter the palace. His own mother, he knows very well that if Su Wang and the princess refuse, the young prince may die, and even be implicated. The entire Su Wang Mansion."

Shen Haolin heard footsteps coming from outside, and quickly put away all the things on the table. When he finished putting away, he saw the door was pushed open, and Song Qiyun's little head poked in from outside.
