Xue Huaian pondered for a while, and said to the prince: "Your Highness, if this is the case, it would be a good strategy...King Gaoli has a grudge against me, Da Qin. If it is really in the name of the imperial court, it will not only be detrimental to the imperial court's reputation. , and King Goryeo may not act rashly, but if King Qingtian sends someone there, he might really be tempted."

"That's right. The imperial court sent people there. The King of Koryo knew that the imperial court was going to form an alliance with him to attack Liaodong. He must know that Chiliandian had ulterior motives. In this way, the King of Koryo would probably sit on the sidelines and watch the tigers fight, and stand still "An official said: "But King Qingtian sent people to go, and the attitude of the King of Korea must be different. King Qingtian caused troubles in Hebei, and the front of the soldiers once entered the territory of Fuhai Road. The King of Korea is very likely to be very clear about this matter. From his point of view, King Qingtian is powerful, and to have such an ally come to contact him on his own initiative, the King of Korea must be wishing for it."

The crown prince sighed: "I am only worried about the health of my lord. You have traveled all the way from the capital. Your lord is old and you have worked so hard. If you travel a long distance to Korea...!" There was worry between the brows color.

However, Shen Keqiu had already knelt down on the ground, and said resolutely: "Your Highness, the old minister escaped from the capital. He has already died once, and he survived. He just hopes that his withered bones can do something for His Highness. The situation in Liaodong, The situation is changing, and once there is a change, if the court is not prepared, the consequences will be unimaginable. The old minister's departure, regardless of success or failure, can be regarded as a reward for His Highness's care and care for the veteran over the years." Staring at the prince, his eyes were full of expectations.

The prince pondered for a while, finally nodded slightly, and said: "Since the boss has made up his mind, I will not stop it. It's just that the journey is far away, and it will pass through Liaodong territory. I will send people to escort me all the way... In addition, you go to Goryeo, there must be a lot of expenses, I will prepare a gift for you, as a great gift from King Qingtian to the King of Goryeo."

Shen Keqiu kowtowed on the ground, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness!" Then he raised his head and said, "Your Highness, this old minister is going to leave immediately after His Highness ascends the throne, and the country cannot be left without a master for a day. This old minister is here to invite Your Highness to ascend the throne immediately. Set the cauldron and the universe!"

The others looked at each other, and they all got up one after another, knelt down in front of the prince, and said in unison: "I invite your highness to become the great treasure and inherit the great rule!"

The crown prince hesitated for a moment, and said: "Not long after my father passed away, my palace...!"

"Your Highness, it is precisely because of the death of the Holy Majesty that Your Highness is responsible for the rise and fall of Great Qin." Shen Keqiu said solemnly: "There is no king in the country, and the world is not right. At this time of crisis, Your Highness, as the heir of the empire, must stand up and stand up. Save the common people from chaos." Kowtowing: "Your Highness, please ascend the throne immediately!"

"Your Majesty is invited to ascend the throne!"

The prince sighed and said: "I was suffering from a leg problem back then, so I thought about giving up the position of the crown prince. It's just that after so many years, the king of Han and the king of Qi have not been able to take charge alone, and the king of Han even colluded with Huang Ju to plot rebellion. As far as King Ruo Qi...!" Weeping and laughing, shaking his head, he said: "He grew up in the deep palace, and he didn't know the hearts of the people, let alone the hearts of the people. ...!" Wei Yi pondered, and finally said: "This palace has no intention of succeeding to the throne, but now the country is declining and the world is in chaos, if this palace ignores it, our great Qin country will surely perish, and all the people in the world will also perish. In dire straits...you are right, a country cannot be without a king for a day, and the emperor has passed away, so I can't be alone. At this time of crisis, I can only stand up and do my best for the rise and fall of the empire! "

Everyone shouted in unison: "Your Highness is wise!"

"It's just that the state of the country is like this, so the enthronement ceremony should be kept simple." The crown prince said: "Master Xue, you are in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and you have a good idea of ​​how to prepare for the enthronement ceremony."

Xue Huai'an said: "Your Highness, forgive me for my crime. In fact, after I came to Wuping Prefecture, I have already started preparations for the enthronement ceremony together with several officials from the Ministry of Rites."

"Oh?" There was a smile in the corner of the prince's eyes, "So you have already made preparations."

Xue Huai'an took out a document from his bosom, opened it for a glance, and said, "Your Highness, I have already selected a few auspicious dates...!"

Shen Keqiu has already asked: "Xue Butang, when is the nearest auspicious day?"

"Five days later." Xue Huai'an said: "It's only five days, it's too hasty, I think there will be a good day in the middle of next month, there are still [-] days, and I can fully prepare."

The crown prince did not speak, but Shen Keqiu had already said: "In the present situation, if you delay for a day, the world will have no master for a day. It is better to ascend the throne as soon as possible. Yes, His Highness also said that everything should be kept simple. Since there are still five Xue Butang seized the time, day and night, and should be able to prepare for the enthronement ceremony within five days."

Xue Huai'an glanced at the prince, saw that the prince was silent, thought for a while, and said: "His Royal Highness, within five days, I can prepare for the enthronement ceremony, but everything may be simpler...!"

The prince smiled and said: "It's okay, I said before, keep everything simple!"

At this moment, a thunder came from outside the door, the prince rolled his wheelchair, and when he arrived at the hall door, he looked up at the sky, only to see that the sky was covered with dark clouds and drizzle was floating in the sky.

"The situation in the Kyushu and the sea is changing, and the movement of the sky will cause wind and thunder!" The prince whispered softly.

All the ministers looked at each other with solemn expressions.

……

……

The wind and thunder suddenly changed, and a bolt of lightning flashed like a scythe, followed by a dull thunder.

Chu Huan raised his head and looked at the cloudy sky, the sky and the earth were soon shrouded in darkness. After finally passing through a valley, he climbed to a mountain peak, and he could look up at the sky, but it was overcast again.

After walking through the North Ridge for several days, the clothes of several people were torn by the branches and vines in the forest, and they were already a little torn.

"Over this mountain, if there is no accident, we can walk out of Beiling." Chu Huan turned his head and looked at the people behind him, their clothes were shabby. At first glance, they looked like beggars, they were graceful The luxurious queen also looked quite embarrassed at the moment.

Hearing what Chu Huan said, several people looked up at Chu Huan, and Chu Huan pointed forward, "But this mountain looks rugged, there are no roads, and there are strange rocks. You must be careful."

Mei Niang raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and said, "After walking for these days, I thought we would never get out of Beiling."

Chu Huan laughed, looked forward, and then frowned. At this time, he had already climbed halfway up the mountain, and there was still some distance from the top of the mountain, but the top was full of cliffs, and there was no way to go. He wanted to climb to the top of the mountain. Almost impossible.

For the current plan, it can only be circled from the mountainside.

"I can't climb up the mountain." Chu Huan stopped, raised his hand and pointed upwards, then turned his head and said, "It's all cliffs, it's impossible to climb up, we can only circle around, you can see which direction we should go ?” He looked left and right, and there were steep and strange rocks on the mountain, and there were no footholds in many places.

Several people also looked left and right. Everyone knew that it would take at least two days to go around the mountainside and pass through this mountain. It means that the previous hard work is in vain and you have to turn back.

Left and right are two choices, but no one knows which side of the road will be smoother.

"No matter which way you go, it will not be smooth." Although the sky was gloomy, Qi Hong was sweating profusely, "My lord, we are not familiar with this place, so we can only take one step at a time. Fortunately, this is the last A mountain peak, after crossing the mountain, you can pass through the North Ridge very quickly, even if we can’t get through, we just turn back, we have already walked in the North Ridge for these days, and we don’t care about walking for a day or two.”

Chu Huan nodded, took a closer look, and said, "Try this side first." He didn't say much, took the lead, and a few people followed. At this time, there was already a drizzle in the sky, and a few people were bearing the burden in Beiling. After a few days of hard work, even the queen didn't care about the drizzle at this time.

In the beginning, the road was indeed rough and difficult, and we had to walk hard between the steep rocks. The queen's face was covered with water beads. Although there was goose feather drizzle on the face, there were also beads of fragrant sweat overflowing from the skin. The beads of fragrant sweat were mixed with the rain, and because of the great physical exertion, her fair face was flushed red at this moment, rosy in the white, plus the water beads rolling on the cheeks, it was extremely beautiful.

Looking back at the mountains and mountains behind her, the queen was a little surprised, she never imagined that she could walk such a long distance on foot.

After walking for half a day, the road became smoother. It was close to the edge of the cliff and was a road that could accommodate three people in parallel. People were filled with joy, thinking that they had chosen the right path, but after traveling on this path for more than an hour, the front suddenly narrowed.

Chu Huan couldn't help frowning, and looked up, but he was a little surprised. Before he knew it, they were already walking on the edge of a cliff. On the other side of the path, there is a bottomless cliff. The road shrinks in front, and at the narrowest point, only one person can barely pass by sticking to the stone wall. Fortunately, the narrow point is not long. After passing, After that, the road stretched out again.

"What's the matter?" Meiniang asked from behind, then followed Chu Huan's gaze and frowned.

This road is not difficult for Chu Huan and others to walk, but it is too difficult for the empress. Chu Huan sighed and said: "I heard before that the Shu Road Difficult, difficult to climb to the blue sky, now it seems that the Beiling Mountain Road is not below the Shu Road." Shaking his head, he said, "Let's turn back."

Just as the words finished, I heard the queen's voice behind me: "Don't look back, I... I can go...!"

At this time, the queen also saw the road ahead from behind. She knew that Chu Huan was going to turn back because she thought she would not be able to pass.

Along the way, Chu Huan and the others took good care of her. She knew that if it wasn't for her, Chu Huan might have left the North Ridge long ago. For Chu Huan, the sooner he returned to the northwest, the sooner he would be. To stabilize the northwest, if you turn back at this time, it will be like wasting another day.

And it is still unknown whether the other path will work.

At this time, there was only one narrow place ahead that was difficult to pass through, and the queen didn't want to delay another day because of herself.

Mei Niang glanced at the queen, and said: "This is not the time to show off, look over there, if you are not careful, you will fall into the cliff... That will be your death!"

The queen said indifferently: "Since I said that I can pass, even if I fell into the cliff, it is God's will."
