Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 949 Legendary Life 15.0

"When did the selection of a concubine for King Tong happen?" Jin Miaomiao looked at Shen Cha, "Isn't this going to be the story of Uncle Xiaoguo and the little prince?"

"Before Uncle Xiaoguo and the young prince, another thing happened." Shen Cha waved his hand, "It was two years after the old lady returned to the palace to choose a concubine for King Tong. At that time, King Tong was already ten years old, 11 years old Years old, it is indeed the age to choose a concubine, so they can't refuse. And the turmoil of choosing a concubine lasted for almost a year and a half. King Tong will soon be 13 years old, and will be celebrating his fourth new year in the palace."

"So, the upcoming story is in the New Year again?"

"No." Shen Cha shook his head, saw Jin Miaomiao patted his chest and let out a sigh of relief, and chuckled, "Don't be so relieved so early, she chose to do it before the Chinese New Year, and the goal is still Emperor Chongde The custom of the previous dynasty was to go to Huangding Mountain to worship heaven and ancestors every four years. This was a very important event for the royal family of the former dynasty. Therefore, no matter how playful Emperor Jiaren was , also rushed back from Jiangnan early, and took Emperor Chongde, King Tong, several other princes, and other members of the royal family to the Huangding Mountain Palace one month in advance."

"Aren't the people in the harem accompanying you?"

"Yes, not accompanying." Shen Cha nodded, "This is also the practice of the previous court, which is different from our Great Xia's custom."

"The matter this time was also caused by the old lady?"

"Before the old lady passed away, she did not admit that she did this thing. Both Emperor Chongde and King Tong believed that the old lady was a person who dared to do something, and that when a person was about to die, she spoke well. It's time to bid farewell to this world, and there's no need to grit your teeth and refuse to admit it. Besides, she has confessed to so many things, and even denying one and a half of them can't lessen her crime, right? "

"That makes sense." Jin Miaomiao nodded, "That is to say, there are still a group of people staring at..." In the middle of speaking, she suddenly stopped and looked at the three people in front of her vigilantly, "It's not that group of people, is it?" ?”

"It's very likely that it's them." Song Qiyun finished eating the lo mei and drinking tea, and began to sweep the fruits on the table, "Because after this incident, they had two extra pills in their hands, and it was us." Of the two known, one temporarily saved Emperor Chongde's life, and the other allowed King Tong to live to nearly two hundred years old. However, we can only know that these two medicines came into their hands at this time, but How it came about, King Tong didn't say in detail."

"Senior Tantai has promised us to investigate the matter of the pills, so we can ignore it for the time being." Shen Cha waved his hand, "Emperor Jiaren dragged his family to the Huangding Mountain Palace and rested at the foot of Huangding Mountain, waiting for the twelfth lunar month I went up the mountain again on the [-]th day. But I didn't expect that the accident happened on the night of the first day they stayed in the palace."

"There are assassins?"

"The assassins and the fire came at the same time." Song Qiyun picked up Shen Cha's words and said, "The fire should have been set first, which attracted the attention of most of the guards, and the assassins went straight to their target, Emperor Jiaren."

"Well, speaking of it, it is very similar to the style of the people behind the scenes. Every time they appear, they target the royal family, and they are also the current emperor." Jin Miaomiao thought for a while, "Every time they come out, He didn't intend to hit him with one blow, but he just came out to attack people, and after the attack was over, he went silent." She looked at Shen Cha, "Bringing this matter up alone, is it true that someone was hurt?"

"When the fire started, Emperor Chongde and King Tong rushed to Emperor Jiaren's side immediately. Although there were many guards, the number of assassins far exceeded them. According to King Tong's recollection, this The skills of the assassins are very high, and although the guards are not weak, it is still very difficult to deal with these assassins who are obviously a head above them."

"The guards of the previous dynasty are so weak?"

"Not weak at all." Song Qiyun shook his head, "Sister Miao Miao, don't forget how unfathomable the people behind the scenes are. Even if we face them, we don't dare to say that we have a complete chance of winning."

"You're right, who knows how many masters they have hidden in their hands!"

"That's right!" Shen Cha sighed softly, "You have to know that the assassins have not tried their best, and each of them has wounds on their bodies. King Tong's injury is actually the heaviest. He blocked a knife for Emperor Chongde, and the knife stabbed him in the shoulder. The assassin's strength was very strong, and the knife was very deep. King Tong passed out immediately after the knife, completely unaware of what happened next What. However, after he woke up, he asked the people around him. After he passed out that day, Emperor Chongde went crazy and injured several assassins. The assassins were frightened by his sudden outburst, and no longer wanted to fight. He dragged his injured companion and left."

"Emperor Chongde's eruption is certain. The person I value the most fell unconscious in front of me covered in blood, and he did this to save himself. It's no wonder he didn't erupt!" Jin Miaomiao He sighed softly, "Emperor Jiaren must have been shocked too, he didn't expect the relationship between these two children to be so good?"

"He knew that the rumors outside were not true, but he did not expect that King Tong could give up his life to block the knife for his son. From that day on, King Tong said that Emperor Jiaren's attitude towards him was different. In the past, he was kind to Emperor Chongde because he was regarded as an accessory of Emperor Chongde. Then, after this assassination, he was truly accepted by Emperor Jiaren as a family member and became a separate person. "

"Is this... a blessing in disguise?" Jin Miaomiao shook his head helplessly, "Then, the worship to heaven and ancestors is still going on normally?"

"Of course." Song Qiyun nodded, "We can't be careless when encountering such a thing. The whole ceremony of worshiping heaven and ancestors is even more grand than what was prepared before."
