Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 522
A group of people are all on the boat, and they can't go up to the sky or go down to the ground. For archers, they are the best arrow targets!
The saint's face was cloudy and uncertain, and his face was full of anger, but he couldn't do anything about it.Pei Ji closed her eyes silently, remained motionless like a clock, and said nothing.Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda and others looked at each other, their faces were a little pale, but they didn't speak.

The life and death of a boat of people are all tied to the saint!Or tied to Qin Wang's thought!
"Unexpectedly, this happened, what should we do now?"

I don't know if it was a while or a long time, the saint was sweating profusely on his forehead, and asked slowly.Pei Ji remained silent, Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda looked at each other, Xiao Yu closed his eyes, and simply said: "I heard that there are no boundaries inside and outside, and that father and son are not close, so it should be broken, and it will be chaotic. Without premeditation, after the flag of righteousness was established, there was no meritorious deeds, and I often doubted my heart, causing evil, and causing disaster to Xiaoqiang!"

The saint's eyes widened instantly, staring at Xiao Yu, but did not speak.Chen Shuda said: "To the sage, the king of Qin has made great achievements in the world, and he has his heart inside and out. If he can make the king of Qin the crown prince and entrust him with important military and state affairs, the sage will feel relieved."

Xiao Yu bowed and said: "The minister seconded the proposal."

The ministers present, except Pei Ji, all expressed their support for Chen Shuda's remonstrance.The saint's expression was unpredictable, he just stood there, condescending, looking around, and none of the ministers dared to look at him.The sage hummed softly in his heart, and turned to look at Pei Ji: "Old man, what about you? What do you think?"

Pei Ji said quietly: "Why does a saint need to ask his subordinates? Don't saints know that what a saint is like, so is an old minister. It has always been like this!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

The sage laughed out loud, but the laughter was indescribably pathetic, all the ministers... except Pei Ji who stood upright, the rest bowed their heads, and no one was confident.

The sage said: "Guang Lu, tell Yu Chi Gong to let King Qin come to see me!"

"Everyone……"

"There's no need to say any more, let's go! Could it be that even you want to disregard my wishes?"

Guanglu's complexion changed, he was an imposing man with tears in his eyes, so he had to answer heavily: "Here!"

Responding, he went out to the side of the ship and shouted loudly: "Yu Chigong, in the name of His Majesty, I declare the king of Qin to have an audience!"

Yuchi Gong on the shore, with thick eyebrows frowned, waited for his order from left to right.Yu Chigong hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Quickly go and report to the king."

"Here!"

After a while, the King of Qin came in, with his armor still on, Yu Chigong hurriedly stepped forward: "My lord, the sage has summoned me."

King Qin nodded, but said nothing. He looked at the boat on the pond with a gloomy expression.After a moment of silence, he said in a clear voice, "Er Shimin pays homage to father!"

Guang Lu stood on the deck of the ship's side and responded loudly: "The sage summoned, why didn't King Qin come on board?"

"Your Majesty!"

Yuchi Gong showed disapproval on his face, and immediately shouted.Qin Wang compared his hands and said: "Order to prepare a small boat, I want to board the boat!"

"Your Majesty, the bodyguards on board are all saints' personal guards. They are for the safety of your Majesty. Please think twice!"

Yuchi Gong begged.King Qin shook his head and said: "Jingde, I understand your worries, but today... I must board this boat! I have made up my mind, prepare a small boat!"

Seeing that the King of Qin had made up his mind, Yuchi Gong had no choice but to order a small boat to be pulled up for the King of Qin to board.The king of Qin boarded the boat and immediately rowed to the big boat of the saint.Yuchi Gong frowned frequently, seeing that King Qin couldn't be stopped, he could only order his left and right: "Be on alert, if anything goes wrong, shoot immediately!"

"Here."

The small boat came to the side of the boat in a short time, King Qin was not in a hurry to get on the boat, but bowed on top of the small boat and saluted: "The sons and the people pay homage to their father, Jian Jian, and Yuan Ji raised troops to plot chaos, and they have already been punished!"

He only talked about the faults of Jiancheng and Yuanji, but he never mentioned his own body.The sage smiled wryly in his heart, and said, "Come up! Now that it's been built and Yuanji has been executed, why don't you dare to board the boat to see me?"

King Qin's complexion darkened, his tone was filled with resentment and anger, and he said loudly: "I dare not, I just waited for my father to summon me."

As he said that, he jumped from the small boat to the deck on the ship's side, and looked at Guang Lu who was glaring at him on the deck, without fear.

Under Guang Lu's stare, the King of Qin raised his head and said, "My son, Shimin pays homage to his father, and begs him to see him."

"Come in!"

King Qin entered the cabin with his head held high and his chest held high. After entering, he knelt down on the ground and said, "My son pays homage to father."

The sage stood, looking at King Qin who was kneeling on the ground, his eyes were dim, and after a long time, he suddenly let out a long sigh and said: "My son, Shimin, has raised the banner of righteousness so far, and his achievements have conquered the world. I think so, and pass it on to the world, starting today, I will choose my second son, Shimin, as the crown prince, and I honor this!"

"Here."

All the ministers responded.King Qin knelt on the ground, wailing loudly, tears gushing like springs, unable to contain himself.

The sage looked at it coldly, and didn't comfort him, he just said: "The space on the ship is limited, the Crown Prince has been established, and the affairs of the state have been decided. You and your family can go ashore and spread my edict to the world."

"Here!"

The boat docked slowly, King Qin kept crying on the ground, and the sage just looked at him, neither comforting him nor speaking.When the boat docked, the ministers filed down, King Qin was still kneeling, and the sage was still standing in front of him, not saying a word.

Pei Ji walked to the door of the cabin, turned around suddenly, and bowed to the saint. The saint's eyes warmed up and he waved his hand. happiness.

"Why is the father silent to the child?"

After all the ministers had left, King Qin asked suddenly, with a terrified expression and a suppressed tone.The sage closed his eyes and said, "There is nothing to ask, and there is nothing to say!"

The King of Qin was furious, and said angrily, "If it wasn't for the fact that my father favored Jian Jian repeatedly and let Yuan Ji mess around, why would my son be like this..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the sage: "Jian is my eldest son, and I was the eldest son when I was Duke Tang. After ascending the throne, I became the crown prince. I favor him, what's wrong?"

The King of Qin was furious: "Is that why my father just sat by and watched Jiancheng murder the child?"

The sage didn't say a word, just opened his eyes, looking at the angry King Qin, he couldn't help feeling depressed, his straight and straight spine seemed to have lost the strength and will, and he said in a depressed way: "This is the end of the matter, it's useless to talk! Now that you are the crown prince, I only hope that in the future you will not suffer the pain of being a father today!"

King Qin's complexion changed, and he said angrily, "Father is cursing the child?"

The saint smiled bitterly: "No, being a father is admonishing, father and son are suspicious, brothers are killing each other, how can I fail in this life! I only hope that you will not fail like a father in the future."

"Father!"

The King of Qin couldn't help shouting violently. Before he could say anything, a crisp voice came along with the hurried footsteps: "Erlang!"

Following this cry, Princess Qin's eldest grandson came over and pulled King Qin lightly. King Qin was not angry, but kept silent.Princess Qin took two steps forward and saluted the saint as usual: "Daughter-in-law pays respects to father, is father okay?"

The sage looked up at her with a dejected expression, and said in a dejected tone, "Erlang's wife is here too? Well, since you're here too, I have something to entrust to you as a father."

"Father can tell his daughter-in-law to do as he pleases."

Princess Qin said respectfully.The saint only said: "I just hope that you don't want to embarrass the people in the harem."

"Here, my daughter-in-law obeys the holy orders."

Princess Qin readily agreed.The sage nodded in relief, without even looking at King Qin, he could only say weakly: "Come here, pass on my decree. From now on, the crown prince and the people will supervise the country, and all military and political affairs will be decided by the emperor himself. I am tired and just want to Take a good rest. Let Concubine De and Zhang Jieyu accompany you!"

"Here!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and returned to the palace, ignoring King Qin's reaction, his previously healthy spirit seemed to have been defeated in an instant, his waist was bent, and his back could no longer be straightened.King Qin looked at his father's back with a dazed expression: "Guanyin maidservant..."

Concubine Qin's soft and warm hand slowly grasped King Qin's hand, holding it tightly, and said softly: "I am here for my wife, Erlang, I will always be here for my wife."

King Qin turned his head to look at her, seeing her gaze at him affectionately and tenderly, his expression became firm again.The palace was full of turmoil, and the situation changed all of a sudden. Outside the palace, a fast horse galloped south.
