Chapter 257 Emperor Qi
In the Book of Heroes, Li Yuanqing stretched out his hand in vain and watched Li Guanting lead the crowd away. He looked like an enthusiastic brother being treated coldly by his younger brother.
Chen Ming was unmoved.
With all the abnormal things happening now, it is obvious that Crown Prince Li Yuanqing is the biggest suspect.
According to the routine of fighting within the palace to win the heir, these are not considered fierce now.
Chen Ming had personally participated in these during the Daqian Dynasty. In the end, only one of the nine sons died directly to inherit the throne.
Oh, was it his own fault? That's okay.
It is normal and common for princes to plot against each other for the position of prince, and for princes to kill their relatives in order to maintain their position. However, it also depends on the time.
For the sake of the throne, there will be internal fighting. As long as it is not excessive, the emperor will often acquiesce.
But what’s going on with the country now?
You must know that the second prince Li Guanting was ambushed this time, and it was not his fault alone.
This is related to the life and death of Minling Pass, which is being attacked by the demons!
Once the Minling Pass was broken, the northwest plains of Southern Qi became flat and there were no dangerous points in the three states to defend. This was equivalent to handing over the three states to the demon clan that was now gaining momentum.
This is a major event that will shake the foundation of the dynasty. Not all emperors are in chaos like secret emperors. As long as they are normal emperors, they will not sit idly by and ignore this kind of thing.
…
[You expected that your father would not sit idly by and ignore this matter, so you went straight to the palace instead of returning to your own palace. 】
[Sure enough, on the way you met the eunuch who delivered the order, saying that Your Majesty is waiting for His Majesty in the Yangxin Hall. 】
[After you arrive at the Yangxin Hall, you see your father, who has just left the court, wearing an imperial crown and a dragon robe, sitting on a jade chair with an unclear expression. 】
[Then, the crown prince, the fourth prince, the seventh prince and others who are now in the imperial city gathered together. 】
Looking at the scenes in the Book of Heroes, Chen Ming thought to himself, indeed the current Emperor Qi was still a normal emperor.
He summoned all his heirs at this time, apparently because the second prince Li Guanting led the army to rescue the attack on Minling Pass.
Emperor Qi sat high on a jade chair. Although he was facing his biological children, he did not feel too close and relaxed.
Wearing a solemn dragon robe, the beaded curtain of the emperor's crown hangs in front of him, making it difficult to see his expression, showing his majesty.
Among the emperors Chen Ming had seen, his state was almost completely opposite to that of Emperor Yuan of the An Dynasty.
Emperor Qi first expressed his condolences to the injury: "Guanting, is your injury okay?"
"Back to my father, my injuries are no longer serious. It's a pity that my three thousand elites and the Minling Pass on the front line are besieged..."
"Well, I already know about this matter. It is also for this reason that I am calling you here today."
Emperor Qi's majestic eyes swept over his heirs: "I know that you are quite unruly in secret, but if anyone ignores the world for his own selfish desires, don't blame me for ignoring the love between father and son!"
When he said this, his eyes focused on his eldest son.
Li Yuanqing bowed his head and stood silently, without explaining himself.
Then, Emperor Qi asked Li Guanting to get the secret healing medicine, and then go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to get 10,000 taels of gold yuan.
As for Li Yuanqing, he needs to lead his own bodyguards to rush to Minling Pass immediately.
Since the demon tribe rebelled, the royal family of Da Qi moved south.
All the princes of the Qi Dynasty received a fiefdom north of the imperial city and were crowned kings when they came of age. They were required to lead troops in battle and had their own personal guards.
As the eldest prince, Li Yuanqing naturally did the same before becoming the prince.
After being crowned the prince, he entered the East Palace. Not only was the personal guard not stripped away, but the army of three thousand for an ordinary prince was also reduced to five thousand.
Now that the three thousand troops of his second son Li Guanting were completely destroyed, Emperor Qi ordered Li Yuanqing to lead his entire five thousand troops to the aid of Minling Pass.
After that, Emperor Qi sent his sons away.
…
Chen Ming couldn't help but think deeply.
At this time, the demon offensive was in full swing. It was obviously not a good job for Li Yuanqing to be sent to lead the army to help at this time.
However, Emperor Qi's arrangement for Li Guanting was also very strange: he received the secret healing medicine and another 10,000 taels of gold yuan.
Then there is no more.
Ten thousand taels of gold is probably only enough to train one thousand five to two thousand elite troops.
That's it, not counting the time cost.
Obviously Emperor Qi had no intention of completely reimbursing Li Guanting for the attack.
The conflicting parties in this incident vaguely point to the crown prince and the second prince, and what does Emperor Qi mean by making such arrangements?
Fifty hits each?
Doesn't this mean that Emperor Qi thinks that this matter has nothing to do with Prince Li Yuanqing?
Moreover, the elite Qianqi of the demon clan quietly sneaked into the country to ambush the supporting troops. Emperor Qi didn't seem very angry about such a serious matter?
Could it be that he knows something inside?
Chen Ming looked at Emperor Qi who was sitting high on a jade chair in the picture, his face blocked by a dense bead curtain, and found that the situation that seemed to be clear at first was somewhat blurred by him.
…
[In the year 1567 of the Qi calendar, you were attacked and killed. After receiving ten thousand gold, you returned to your Qingwang Mansion to recuperate. 】
[At the same time, Prince Li Yuanqing and his personal guards rushed to Minling Pass, defeated the demon army, and returned with a great victory, and his reputation was unparalleled. 】
[You have not let go of your guard against the prince, but you also know that you are now weak. 】
[So, for the next ten years, you diligently practiced martial arts, recruited local warriors, and expanded your army. 】
[In the year 1580 of the Qi calendar, you realize that your cultivation has temporarily encountered a bottleneck, and the Xinmu's three thousand army has not yet experienced a bloody battle. Although it has military strength, it cannot be called a strong army. 】
[You urgently need a battle to sharpen yourself. 】
In the quiet room of Prince Qing's Mansion, Li Guanting stood up, with a dragon surrounding him.
The technique practiced by the Daqi royal family is called "Nine Dragons Holding One Heart Sutra". It can cultivate up to nine dragons and hold them all over the body, which is extremely powerful.
The dragon shadow surrounding Li Guanting is different from the ordinary five-clawed golden dragon cultivated by the disciples of the Daqi royal family. This is a dark red dragon whose body is carved from blood jade.
It is Zhulong.
Having the body of a candle dragon in the previous life, practicing the method of dragon energy in this life will naturally achieve twice the result with half the effort.
The dragon you cultivate not only has its shape, but also its spirit. The visualization pictures such as "Mosasaurus Picture" and "Hundred Dragons Picture" are worse than recalling the shadows of past lives in your mind.
Li Guanting, who had his eyes closed and concentrated, suddenly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of foul air.
The shadow of the candle dragon that coiled around the body like a real dragon suddenly dispersed and turned into six dragon auras surrounding the body.
The power of the Six Dragons, this is his true level now.
The only dragon he created just now was his attempt to imitate the legendary realm of the "Nine Dragons Holding One Heart Sutra", the realm of the unification of nine dragons that no one had achieved except the first generation Qi Emperor.
It obviously ended in failure.
"With my current level, I can't really achieve the unification of Kowloon. Fortunately, I have the will of the real dragon. The unification of Kowloon is just around the corner."
In addition to truly becoming one of the best in the world in terms of cultivation, the personal guard army that had been depleted at the beginning was finally rebuilt.
