into the bosom

Chapter 198 It's finally here

In the quiet room, a lamp is like a bean, and there is a picture hanging on the wall, with the words "inaction" written on it.

On one side of the futon, there was a person sitting cross-legged, who looked to be about the same age as Emperor Xian, dressed in Taoist robes, with calm eyes and immortal demeanor.

Emperor Xian also sat cross-legged in front of him, with a rare look of respect, "The national teacher lives in one place but can know the affairs of the world, so he must also be aware of the rumors that Feng'an has suddenly risen in recent days, right?"

"Your Majesty is saying that the emperor's star will decline, the world will be divided, and the Great Wei will be in chaos?" The Taoist priest known as the national teacher did not open his eyes, and his tone was extremely flat.

Emperor Xian sighed, "The national teacher is really clever. Hearing these rumors, I feel uneasy."

"Your Majesty's mind is disturbed, these are just coincidences. The people behind it are just to disturb His Majesty's mind and the foundation of the great Wei Dynasty. Your Majesty must not mess up your own position, and the villains are treacherous." The national teacher is still as steady as Mount Tai, speaking earnestly The superior posture.

"I thought it was a coincidence at first, but the national teacher...please read this first!" Emperor Xian presented a piece of paper with both hands.

The national teacher just opened his eyes, a pair of sharp pupils, looking at Emperor Xian, took the paper, opened it, but his brows frowned.

Emperor Xian had been carefully watching the face of the national teacher, and said immediately when he saw this, "What does the national teacher think?"

There was no change in the expression on the national teacher's face, he lowered his eyes to hide all his thoughts, looked down at the handwriting on the paper, and after a long time, he asked in a deep voice, "Where did your Majesty get this gatha? "

"This is what the people under He Lianshu's subordinates got when they tracked down the rumors all the way. It is said that it came from Jie Chen, the closed disciple of Master Yichen, even with the previous rumors." Xiandi saw the national teacher's pondering expression and said nothing. After a pause, he said again, "Of course I believe in the national teacher more, but Master Yichen is also a person who is profound in Buddhism and able to understand the gods and Buddhas. The late emperor respected him even more when he was alive, and in this verse, he also mentioned the blessings of the stars and breaking the law." The two stars of Jun and Yinghuo have disrupted the fortunes of the Wei Kingdom, so I have to treat this matter with caution, and I ask the National Teacher to forgive me."

Suspicious people like Emperor Xian naturally dare not listen to the words of the family. This gatha was given to him by He Lianshu. He turned his head and asked Zi Yiwei to check it, and he was sure that what He Lianshu said was true. Only then did he show the things to the national teacher.

The national teacher was still silent, Emperor Xian couldn't hold his breath anymore, and said again, "The national teacher may tell who is the lucky star as soon as possible?"

"Your Majesty, the way of heaven is not always the same. Since this monk is a closed disciple of Master Yichen, I dare not be too self-confident. Since his verses coincide with the prophecy of the minister, it is clear that He has that skill, and as for some ministers who come and go, he dare not speak nonsense, and please allow him some time to watch the sky at night, deduce the six lines, and if there is a change, I will discuss the solution with your majesty." The tone is sincere and respectful.

After hearing this, Emperor Xian nodded, "That's right. It's about the fate of the country, so it's better to be more cautious. In this way, it will be hard work for the national teacher, but I hope the national teacher can come to a conclusion as soon as possible."

"It's natural, don't worry, Your Majesty." The national teacher bowed and said.

Emperor Xian's complexion at this time was much calmer than when he came in. After finishing what he had to say, he naturally couldn't disturb the national teacher Qingxiu and communicated with the way of heaven, so he got up and said goodbye.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, before he could take a step, Gan's waiter hurried in.You must know that a person like Gan Neishi who has already cultivated to become a master would not do this easily, and something must have happened.

Sure enough, Gan Nei waited in front of De Shengjia, bowed slightly and saluted, not avoiding the national teacher, but went straight to report, "Your Majesty, just now Anfu Palace came to report, and the Empress Dowager has woken up."

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Xian's complexion changed, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the national teacher behind him in surprise.

And the national teacher has always been a person who does not show mountains or dews, even if Mount Tai collapses in front of him, I am afraid that he will not change his face, but at this time there is also a trace of surprise on his face, it is too late to put it away.

In a blink of an eye, the winter festival comes, the cathode sun rises, and everything grows.Emperor Xian, as the ruler of a country, wanted to pray for good weather and peace for the people of the world, so it was inevitable that he would go to the Taimiao to offer sacrifices to heaven.

This winter solstice festival is really grand.

Originally, it had nothing to do with women like Xu Jiao, even nobles like the Empress Dowager and the Empress could not participate in this ceremony.However, this year the Empress Dowager has been in poor health, and she was seriously ill the month before last. Your Majesty values ​​filial piety, and feels that the Empress Dowager is closer to such a ceremony, so she can always enjoy more grace and be blessed by God.Therefore, this time, the Empress Dowager was specially allowed to stay in the Zhai Palace for a few days. Because Xu Jiao and Wang Wan took good care of the Empress Dowager when she was seriously ill earlier, they were considered meritorious, so they were able to accompany them.

To be honest, Xu Jiao really didn't want to participate in such a grand event if she could. I wonder if it's because of her physical problem. Every time she participates in such a grand ceremony, it seems that she can't pass without some troubles.

This time, if there is another moth in this ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, then she is afraid that she will be cast into a shadow in the future.

However, the ceremony went smoothly without any twists and turns, Xu Jiao was half relieved.

Because after the ceremony, there is still a feast, and it is not really passed until the banquet is passed safely.

The feast was held on the high platform in the fasting palace, but it was different from the previous palace banquets. The dishes on the banquet were all vegetarian and not contaminated with meat.And the people who attended the banquet, from Emperor Xian to the courtiers, and even the servants and maids who served, were all dressed in plain clothes.

There were not many female relatives at the banquet, only the Empress Dowager, the Empress and the Eldest Princess, Xu Jiao and Wang Wan were all incidental.From the beginning of the banquet, the two just sat quietly side by side on the long table behind the eldest princess and the queen mother, watching the singing and dancing
Naturally, this song and dance is also very different from the usual ones, most of them are sacrificial dances.At this moment, the big noodles are being danced, and the Lanling King dancer and other dancers are all wearing masks.Xu Jiao couldn't appreciate this kind of dance, so she looked down at the food on the table, turned her head and wanted to whisper a few words to Wang Wan who was beside her, but she called her, but she didn't respond, instead her eyes were a little straightened Looking ahead, I don't know what to think.Xu Jiao followed her gaze, but couldn't see why, so he couldn't help but frowned, and raised his voice slightly, "Ah Wan?"

Wang Wan woke up suddenly, said "ah", and turned to look at her, but her expression was flustered for a moment.

Xu Jiao's brows were even tighter, "What's wrong with you?"

The corners of Wang Wan's mouth moved slightly, just as she was about to say something, she glanced somewhere, but her complexion suddenly changed.

Someone faintly screamed in the arena, Xu Jiao suddenly turned his head, and saw King Lanling and other dancers in the arena swung their knives and swords as dance props and rushed towards them.

"assassin!"

"There are assassins!"

"Come here! Hurry up and escort!"

There was a lot of screaming on the high platform, Xu Jiao watched those assassins coming towards this side, raised their knives and dropped them, the blood turned red in an instant, and the throat of a blocking guard was cut, Xu Jiao looked at this bloody scene like a movie , I can’t tell whether it’s because the dust has settled for this accident that came so late but finally arrived as scheduled or something else, I just thought in my heart, it’s finally here!
