Fendai Weiyang

Chapter 221
"A Fei, don't worry, it doesn't mean anything that King Ning presides over the heaven sacrifice ceremony, Prince Rui..., Prince Rui is just afraid that his sick body will offend the gods, for this, His Highness seems to have appreciated his knowledge of general things and so on. "

Xia Qianzhen thought that Qian Fei's weird expression meant that all thoughts were lost, so she hurriedly helped her sit down to comfort her.

"Even if King Ning got this ceremony, Brother Hai said, there are still many people in the court who support His Highness Prince Rui, don't be afraid, Prince Rui is so wise and kind, he will definitely not lose to King Ning. "

"..."

It was rare for the second elder brother to comfort others so persuasively. Qian Fei just wanted to say that she was not worried at this moment, and she was too embarrassed to speak up.

So he could only nod along Xia Qianzhen's words, "I know, second brother, I'm fine."

"Brother Xia said that just a one-time sacrifice to heaven does not mean anything. His Majesty has already allowed Prince Rui to do it. Who knows..., this is also God's will."

"Yes, who said no."

Both Xia Qianzhen and Hai Yuanlu lamented that His Royal Highness Prince Rui's symptoms did not come at the right time. It was said that there was a faint saying in the court that it was God's will, but they did not dare to say this in front of Qian Fei.

Qian Fei is also sitting in a daze at the moment.

Prince Rui really gave up the ritual of offering sacrifices to heaven, but she actually had no idea what would happen.

Where did you manage these things in your previous life?Jinxi's business alone has already overwhelmed her, so she still has the energy to take care of other things?
However, no matter what happens, Qian Fei seems to be very stable in her heart, as if because this is what Jiang Liran asked her to do, there will be absolutely no mistakes.

*****************************************
"God's will! This is really God's will!"

Hai Yuanlu came to the mansion quietly, and he almost couldn't restrain his emotions as soon as he entered the door.

"Brother Xia, have you heard about it? Something strange happened at the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the sky. A thunder and lightning in the blue sky split the big tree beside the altar. When did such a thing happen to the altar?"

The corners of Xia Qianzhen's mouth couldn't stop curling up.

Although he is ignorant of government affairs, he also knows that there is a big taboo in the situation of the sacrificial ceremony.

"Si Tianjian has already presented the memorial, imploring His Majesty to let Prince Rui offer sacrifices to the heavens again. The court is full of uproar, and the ministers who were able to maintain neutrality in the past inevitably have some deviations in their hearts."

Hai Yuanlu's face was full of joy. For the emperor, any man-made struggle could not be as convincing as God's will.

The emperor has already decreed that the date has been drawn up, and when Prince Rui is well, he will let Prince Rui offer sacrifices to the heavens again.

Xia Qianzhen nodded, "In this way, the situation of Prince Rui will become clearer, and it will be more justifiable for him to be appointed as the heir apparent. This illness, Prince Rui's illness is really timely..."

……

"Snapped!"

There was already another puddle of broken porcelain on the ground.

King Ning's complexion turned dark, and he sat in the middle expressionlessly, without saying a word, but silenced everyone present.

"How? You are all well-known counselors in the country, how can this king solve this disaster, and you can't think of any way?!"

"Your Highness..."

Someone saluted with a trembling voice, "There is Prince Rui in the Si Tianjian, so naturally the papers presented are full of false statements, Your Highness does not need to be concerned..."

"Snapped!"

The broken voice interrupted his words, and managed to make the speaker's body tremble a few times.

"You don't need to care? How can this king not care?! Father believes in these things the most. Whenever there is a vision in Guochao, he will send people from thousands of miles away to check and clear up the confusion. If there is no need to care, Prince Rui will be able to waste Such a big intention to send people to the Sitianjian?!"

Although King Ning didn't look too excited, when he sneered and spoke, it made people feel that he couldn't move.

"Your Highness, I can only say that Prince Rui escaped a catastrophe. He was supposed to preside over the ritual of worshiping heaven, but he fell ill..."

"Oh, so you mean that this king deserves to bear such a result instead of Prince Rui?"

"The little ones don't dare, the little ones don't dare..."

The counselors below knelt down one after another, shaking their bodies to plead guilty.

But they are also wronged, no matter how smart and meticulous, who can predict God's will?

In order to prevent Prince Rui from presiding over the ritual of offering sacrifices to heaven, they had already tried their best, and even resorted to tricks such as poisoning and assassination. They finally made Prince Rui fall down. Who knew such a thing would happen?

"Your Highness, the matter has come to this, what's the use of being angry again? Is there no remedy for this matter?"

King Ning looked sideways slightly, and saw that it was Jiang Liran who was speaking.

That's right, Jiang Liran was not considered his advisor, and he was only a businessman before, so naturally he didn't have such a big reaction to these things, so his face looked extremely calm.

"Remedy? How to remedy it? Is it possible that when Prince Rui sacrifices to heaven, I will strike with a lightning strike? If I have the ability, I will be killed by the strike."

"..."

I don't know if what King Ning said was too naive, but Jiang Liran actually laughed.

"What Your Highness said is that I'm not familiar with government affairs. Is it just a ceremony to sacrifice to heaven, and the position of the crown prince is confirmed? I'm afraid it won't be possible."

"His Highness has always shown others with a loyal and dull image. This year, his power has risen suddenly. Many people have to weigh carefully before supporting Prince Rui. This incident does have some impact, but it will not make His Highness so angry."

"..."

King Ning slightly narrowed his eyes, how did Jiang Liran see it?

How did he know that the reason he got angry was not because he missed a good opportunity, but because of this unpredictable providence, he actually stood on Prince Rui's side!
The incident this time is certainly irritating, but there is no place to pursue to vent the anger. The thunder and lightning in the blue sky, is it possible to reason with God?

It was precisely because this was not artificially created that Prince Ning was filled with anger. Prince Rui's fate was too good, so he could avoid it?
"Although I don't quite understand it, it's just that now is the time when precautions are more necessary. If His Highness Prince Rui is allowed to take advantage of the victory to pursue and find out what is wrong with His Highness, it will be bad."

"Brother Li Ran said this as an outsider, but he said it all to the point, and this king is just out of temper for a while."

"..."

Not angry?The counselor kneeling below glanced at the puddles of broken porcelain on the ground. He could get so angry just because he couldn't get angry. His Royal Highness King Ning's temper is still as bad as ever...

Jiang Liran's purpose was to calm King Ning's emotions and let this matter pass.

Otherwise, if the anger in King Ning's heart is high, knowing that this matter cannot be artificial, King Ning may do something for people to investigate in detail. In this way, Qian Fei's existence will be easily exposed. no.

Seeing that King Ning asked the counselors to stand up and continue to discuss the next countermeasures, Jiang Liran continued to remain silent, waiting for the time when he could speak...

****************************************
Here Qian Fei received a second letter from Prince Rui.

This time Xia Qianzhen was in the mansion, staring and waiting for Qian Fei to explain what an "Ancient Prophet" was.

"Second brother, this is just a code name. You can't directly sign my name on Prince Rui's letter, right? If someone intercepts it, it will be terrible!"

"..., make it up, make it up."

"..."

Qian Fei licked her lips, yes, since she was young, she seemed unable to tell a lie in front of her second brother, but how could she explain this?
"I've always wondered why Prince Rui contacted you again and again, so don't use that kind of excuses. I don't believe it."

Xia Qianzhen sat on the chair, looking not to be fooled.

"Prince Rui is more benevolent than Prince Ning, but he is a prince after all, and he is still the emperor's favorite prince. He will keep thinking about a businessman from Shanxi Province over and over in his heart? How many troubles are there in the capital that bother him? Have this spare time?"

"So if you can't give me a convincing answer, I will not allow you to have any negotiations with Prince Rui in the future."

The second brother is probably serious...

Qian Fei judged the situation for a while, and the second elder brother showed such an expression, usually because he was really in a hurry.

But what should she do?Tell the truth to appease the second brother?That doesn't work either...

The screen retreated to the left and right, and Qian Fei sat down beside Xia Qianzhen.

"Second brother, do you still remember that Shixianglou sent someone to send a letter before?"

"Of course I remember, to discuss the matter of spices... Is there something strange about that letter?"

Qian Fei nodded, with an extremely serious face, and began to tell Xia Qianzhen a story in a serious manner.

In fact, most of this story is true, but Qian Fei slightly changed some of the content, such as the way of the secret letter, it became that she and Jiang Liran were newly married, and it was the time when she was tired of crooked, so she wrote Figured it out for a little fun.

For example, the first thing she talked about with Prince Rui was how to bring down Prince Ning. Since Jiang Liran was the person that Prince Ning found by himself, he must have greater trust. He could find out more things than the person placed by Prince Rui. , so there is the next follow-up.

"..., you mean, Jiang Liran asked you to tell Prince Rui to give up this ceremony?"

"..."

Can't the second brother be surprised first to let himself breathe a sigh of relief?

Qian Fei sighed silently in her heart, then raised her head, "My husband only said that King Ning is bound to win this time, and he has already arranged various means. I am afraid that King Rui will suffer, so it is better to retreat..."

"So much information can be written in the letter?"

"..."

Qian Fei was interrupted, and she couldn't keep up with her thoughts for a while, and nodded after she had a reaction, "Actually, it's not, it's just that my husband and I have a good understanding, and we figured it out."

"..."

Can you talk a little more?Xia Qianzhen was full of doubts, but no matter how confused he was, he couldn't think of any other more convincing explanation.

Jiang Liran was indeed by King Ning's side, and he could indeed use King Ning's trust to send out news, so it was reasonable for Prince Rui to treat Qian Fei differently.

But Xia Qianzhen always feels..., always feels that something is not right...

"Okay, okay, second brother, you have to let me see what is written in this letter first?"

Qian Fei didn't know how to justify this argument, so she just ignored it and opened Prince Rui's letter to see if there was any important information.

As a result, at first glance, I couldn't laugh or cry.

After this ritual of offering sacrifices to heaven, Prince Rui had no doubts about Qian Fei, after all, this is a result that cannot be caused by manpower, if he hadn't really received the will of the Holy Spirit, how could he have known in advance?

Such an expert allowed him to avoid such catastrophe, Prince Rui was grateful.

Therefore, the emperor issued an order to let Prince Rui preside over the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven again after recovering from his illness. Prince Rui hurriedly wrote a letter to ask, is there anything wrong this time?
Qian Fei took the letter and thought about it seriously, there was no movement from Jiang Liran, which meant that there was nothing serious, so someone sent a message, and everything was as usual.

"This kind of thing, Prince Rui actually came to ask you?"

Qian Fei rubbed her temples, "It means that His Highness already has some trust in me, which is a good thing."

"..."

Xia Qianzhen still didn't fully believe Qian Fei's words, but he didn't want Qian Fei to bother too much, so he could barely suppress the doubts in his heart.

"This matter... Do you want Hai Yuanlu to know?"

Qian Fei shook her head, telling Xia Qianzhen to stop talking.

Although she didn't know what the consequences would be if Hai Yuanlu found out, Qian Fei subconsciously didn't want more people to know, so she could keep it a secret for a while.

……

The heaven sacrifice ceremony carried out by Prince Rui went very smoothly, even the weather was very pleasant that day.

The sky was high and the clouds were far away, and the blue sky was as clear as wash. His Highness Prince Rui paid homage to the heaven and the earth. Si Tianjian presented a very beautiful document, which made Long Xin very happy, and rewarded Prince Rui very much.

These things are all news brought back by Hai Yuanlu.

As for Qian Fei, she was watching Xia Qianzhen and Xu Ping analyze the business situation in Beijing.

Many of the information that Xu Ping brought back were very useful, for example, it was confirmed that Prince Ning had some private properties in Beijing, who was in charge of them, who his family members were, and who was involved.

The two of them meant that they wanted to disintegrate King Ning's strength from this aspect. After all, they were in business, and they could only do this.

"Don't startle the snake. If you want to act, you must be unified, swift, and crisp. Otherwise, if King Ning notices it, you will fall short."

"Second brother, let me interject, but you have already thought about how to act?"

Qian Fei was a little puzzled, they were just businessmen from the west of Shanxi, even if they had some power in the capital, they were far from being able to compete with King Ning.

Why are you negotiating and discussing, as if the winning ticket is in your hands?
"Well, Brother Hai will help us connect with Prince Rui. Prince Ning has a lot of property, but Prince Rui is not without it. As long as we find the right joint, we can cut off Prince Ning's money."

"Does King Ning have a husband? Second brother is so sure?"

"..."

Xia Qianzhen paused for a moment, unable to speak.

With Jiang Liran as his opponent, he really doesn't have that confidence, but if Jiang Liran is, he should cooperate, right?As long as Ning Wang's money line is cut off, he will not have the funds to act.

Recruiting talents and cultivating troops, which one is not a business that burns money?

Now that King Ning is wantonly exchanging cash for cash, isn't it the imminent battle for the crown prince?
