Chapter 1376 The Emperor Has Not Opened the Door to Entry

The emperor has nine daughters and seventeen sons. Except for the youngest princes and princesses, the others have actively or passively stayed away from Linzi.

Even when Jiang Wuqi passed away this time, he was only required to offer sacrifices remotely and was not summoned back to the capital.

In the long past, the four palace masters of Changle, Huaying, Yangxin and Changsheng have proved their abilities and stood out among the heirs.

The emperor is willing to give more opportunities to outstanding children, but the resources of Daqi are not unlimited and cannot be wasted in the dragon competition. In addition to Changle Palace, the construction of Huaying, Yangxin and Changsheng Palaces has already completed the first round of selection. The crown prince was born only among these four palace masters.

The other princes and princesses stayed away from Linzi to avoid the possibility of mediocre talents consuming national resources.

No matter what emotions people have.

From a realistic point of view, Jiang Wuqi is dead. What should be the future of the huge political assets he left behind? This is a problem that the entire Qi State needs to pay attention to.

Crown Prince Jiang Wuhua, Huaying Palace Master Jiang Wuyou, Yangxin Palace Master Jiang Wuxie, these three especially cannot relax.

Even the seemingly hopeless Fourteenth Prince Jiang Wuyong, when other brothers and sisters are away from the capital, sometimes fall ill, sometimes have problems in practice, sometimes take care of his sick mother... He tries every means to stay in Linzi, of course, not just to cry in front of Jiang Wuqi's spirit in time.

To be honest, he Jiang Wuyong is not stupid, he sees it very clearly.

Among the brothers and sisters who are qualified to compete for the dragon, Jiang Wuhua's magnanimity is tolerance and compassion for his incompetent brother, which is similar to an adult's tolerance for a naive child, and he does not regard him as a threat at all. Jiang Wuyou has always been uncomfortable with his appearance, and Jiang Wuxie may just think he is a clown.

Only Jiang Wuqi, the eleventh brother, will really look at him in the right light. He will care about his food and clothing, and will stand up for him and knock Jiang Wang...

So his sadness at this time is not all exaggerated.

But he couldn't help thinking about it - Jiang Wuqi died young, abruptly cutting off his path to immortality, leaving only an empty Changsheng Palace. Will his father's favor be transferred to him who is younger?

If there is a one in ten thousand chance, he must be fully prepared for it.

The emperor loves Jiang Wuqi the most, so he has to cry the most sadly.

He and his father are connected by blood and heart. They should feel the same pain in this situation, and they should be closer from this similar pain.

Whether it is Jiang Wuhua, Jiang Wuyou, or Jiang Wuxie, no one lacks the wisdom to see through this mind, but their performances are different.

And important officials of the empire like Cao Jie and Chen Fu don't need to express their opinions among these princes and princesses. Standing outside the palace first and waiting for them to finish arguing before coming in is an attitude.

As for Jiang Wang...

He sat properly, but his mind had already sunk into the world of Taoism.

Power tactics, mind tactics, and power tactics...

There are all kinds of tactics in the world, but he only seeks his own method.

The Dragon and Tiger Taoist Art was inherited from Jiu Yang, and its origin is quite extraordinary.

The so-called "tiger" refers to the eight winds.

This technique of attracting the eight winds is of course not the real summoning of the eight winds. It is an imitation and application of the eight winds. Just like Wang Changxiang's Breathing Tornado in the Maple Forest City Taoist Academy.

Jiang Wang possesses the Buzhou Wind Magical Power, and it has been strengthened to a very high level. It is easier to open up his mind for the "tiger" of the dragon and tiger.

The "dragon" of the Dragon and Tiger Taoist Art refers to the spine, which can also be said to be the Tongtian Sea at the current level of practice.

The Daomai Tenglong has never returned since it jumped out of the Tongtian Sea. It has been wandering in the Wufu Sea for a long time and has now swam into the Cangxing Sea.

As the first Tongtian Sea to be opened in the four seas of the human body, it is almost "idle" after the Tenglong realm. It may be difficult to play a role until the four seas are connected.

At least Jiang Wang in the Outer Building Realm has no use for Tongtian Sea.

The fact that the four seas are connected is another manifestation of the divine presence...

So what really blocks Jiang Wang in the evolution of Taoism is actually the "Dragon" of the Dragon and Tiger Taoism. At the level of cultivation in the Outer Building Realm, it is difficult for him to understand the use of this Taoism for Tongtian Sea, and he can only think about it carefully bit by bit.

In comparison, with the "Detailed Explanation of Flame Flower Burning City" given by Zuo Guangshu, plus the previous experience of practicing Flame Flower, and the control of fire Taoism, the progress of practicing Flame Flower Burning City is better than that of Dragon and Tiger.

Immersed in practice, time always passes quickly.

Jiang Wang doesn't care much about how people behave in front of Jiang Wuqi's spirit. After all, nostalgia is only about one's own heart.

It was not until Feng Gu's old voice sounded that he suddenly regained his mind.

"The old slave kowtows to the emperor!" His voice trembled, as if choking.

The emperor is here!

Everyone in the mourning hall stood up and saluted, and the Queen of Qi also bowed slightly.

Speaking of which, in the past, no matter where the emperor and the empress went, they would announce and clear the way to show respect.

Today, they came to Jiang Wuqi's coffin, but they were silent, perhaps because they didn't want to disturb the dead.

Jiang Wang soon knew the reason why Feng Gu was choking.

The emperor not only took off his crown today, but also wore mourning clothes!

He walked into the hall in a white mourning dress, and not far behind him was Han Ling, who followed closely.

The Emperor of Qi just raised his hand, indicating that there was no need to be polite. He walked forward a few steps and stopped in front of the coffin.

At this moment, Jiang Wang and Jiang Wuyou were on the Emperor's right hand side, and further forward on the right hand side was Xiu Yuan, the commander of the Prison Electric Army, who was also standing in front of the chair.

Further forward from Xiuyuan, Jiang Wuxie, the Crown Princess, and the Queen of Da Qi were standing next to the coffin.

Across the coffin, opposite the empress were the prince Jiang Wuhua and the fourteenth prince Jiang Wuyong. One expressed grief, and the other had wet tears. Behind them, in front of a row of seats, stood Cao Jie and Chen Fu.

Everyone was silent, waiting for the emperor to say or do something.

The emperor sacrifices his ministers, and the father sacrifices his son. Only the coffin can never be answered.

This was not the first time Jiang Wang saw Emperor Qi, but he still felt the same unfathomable majesty as when he first met him.

The deeper he cultivates, the higher his official position, the more he sees, the further he thinks...the more he is able to appreciate the unpredictable power of Emperor Qi.

Turning his hands to make clouds and rain, the entire Daqi Empire is tied to his body, and the entire world is shaken with a single thought.

He is currently wearing mourning clothes, or he is just a father who has lost his beloved son, but who can ignore his status as an emperor?

Inside and outside this mourning hall, who dares not to be sad, who dares not to feel pain, and who dares to laugh?

Are they all really sad?

It's just that the emperor is sad, so the world is sad.

Standing in that supreme position, how much fog does he need to penetrate before he can see people's hearts?

Qi Tianzi looked at the coffin quietly for a while, and then finally moved his eyes.

He scanned the entire mourning hall from left to right, like patrolling mountains and rivers. Everyone who was touched by his gaze felt uneasy.

"Your Majesty." The queen came forward, took his arm, and said softly: "Come and offer incense to Wu Qi. He must have been waiting for you for a long time."

Emperor Qi didn't say anything, and let the Queen walk forward with his arm in his arms.

Under the white mourning clothes, he looked like a mountain.

Speaking of which, Jiang Wang had never taken a close look at the emperor's face. At this moment, he only lowered his eyes and saw that the emperor's left hand was resting on Jiang Wuqi's coffin.

This is a hand with a clear frame that holds the heaven and the earth. At this moment, it gently touches the edge of the coffin several times, and finally walks past the coffin and arrives at the offering table.

The queen twisted three sticks of incense and carefully lit it on the golden candle before handing it to the emperor.

The emperor offered these three sticks of incense, and then there was silence again.

This silence is like a mountain, pressing on everyone's heart.

The entire Changsheng Palace gradually became still.

It seems that the world has lost its voice.

All the sounds have died down, and there are no longer even whispers.

Why is the emperor silent?

I do not know how long it has been.

Emperor Qi turned around, with his back to the altar table, facing Jiang Wuqi's coffin, and everyone in the mourning hall and even outside the mourning hall.

"Jiang Qingyang." He suddenly said.

Jiang Wang's heart skipped a beat and he immediately took a step forward: "I'm here."

The emperor's voice fell: "Today's funeral ceremony is in its proper time. You came before the funeral banquet outside was full. Did you come so early to show me? Do you want to be a favored minister?"

These words are very light, but very heavy.

Like a towering mountain, pressing down!

The queen understood immediately.

The emperor was dissatisfied with what happened in the mourning hall today. Even if what happened was just an undercurrent!

This is talking about Jiang Qingyang, but why is it not talking about the various behaviors of the royal family before Jiang Wuqi Ling?

The Queen understands this, the Prince understands it, Jiang Wuxie understands it, and Jiang Wuyou understands it too.

But no matter who the emperor wants to beat, for Jiang Wang, who was named, this is like a mountain crushing the top and the sky falling. This is the power of the emperor, added to one body. It is the wrath of the world that covers one person.

He couldn't help but be terrified!

Jiang Wuyou considered his words in his mind and was about to speak when he suddenly saw a white shadow move next to him.

Jiang Wang, who was wearing mourning clothes, took another step forward, turned around, and faced the emperor face to face across Jiang Wuqi's coffin.

"Your Majesty, please take back your words!" he said.

The emperor's unpredictable eyes fell.

Jiang Wang was bearing an indescribable weight, but he stood upright without wavering.

In this mourning hall, he said loudly: "I think that the feeling of mourning and the intention of offering sacrifices are all in one thought, and there is no difference between sooner or later. The emperor is wise and powerful, and has never opened the door for small people to enter by chance, so how can the ministers be lucky enough to enter?" Every inch of my official position, salary, and salary were all obtained through the blood of the Qi Dynasty. How can the emperor despise him because I got up early today, so I came early, that's all. It takes time!”

He bowed his hands and prostrated: "How much does your Majesty's words hurt me? I can't bear it, and I won't bear it! Please take it back!"

The whole room was silent.

Cao Jie looked at the upright Tianjiao and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Jiang Qingyang was so strong that he dared to confront the emperor and ask him to retract his remarks!

In fact, he could clearly see that the reason why the emperor named Jiang Qingyang was actually just because if he wanted to knock down the mountain and shake the tiger today, Jiang Qingyang was the best choice.

At this moment, with the Lord of the Changsheng Palace dead, no matter which prince or princess the emperor names, it will be difficult not to be regarded as some kind of signal, which will directly affect the battle for the throne.

And important officials of the empire like him and Chen Fu were not something the emperor could insult lightly. Especially Xiu Yuan, who had just gotten rid of suspicion and ended his imprisonment. His old friend who had known him for many years was currently being punished by Ling Chi in the execution ground.

If the emperor asked Xiu Yuan like this, he would probably have no choice but to commit suicide on the spot.

So the emperor asked Jiang Qingyang this question, in fact, it is precisely a kind of appreciation for Jiang Wang, there is a kind of intimacy in it. The so-called simplicity in the emperor's heart, nothing is more than this.

Of course, Jiang Wang's response to this remark is also very important.

Whether he confesses himself or is terrified, the emperor will not do anything to him. This moment is more like a moment for everyone to observe such a young genius.

But Jiang Wang didn't know whether he understood or not, and he actually confronted back face to face...

What will the emperor do?

Cao Jie has followed the current emperor for so many years, and he understands the emperor very well, but he also doesn't understand the emperor very well. The part he understands is that he knows the emperor's great talent and wisdom, and the part he doesn't understand is that many times he can't be sure what decision the emperor will make... Just like this moment.

It's not impossible for the emperor to be furious.

Asking the emperor for an explanation and asking the emperor to take back his golden words can even be regarded as a challenge to the emperor's authority in a serious way!

The emperor can be wrong, how can the minister doubt it?

The Emperor of Qi was silent, while Jiang Wang remained in a bowed posture, standing like an iron statue. It was obvious that the Emperor would not stand up until he retracted his words.

At this time, a voice that no one expected sounded.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say, please listen to it!"

The voice came from outside the palace.

It was Feng Gu, the eunuch in charge of Changsheng Palace.

The Emperor's eyes passed over the coffin, passed over the bowed Jiang Qingyang, and fell on the old man outside the palace.

"Speak." The Emperor said.

Feng Gu knelt on the ground and said earnestly: "When Your Highness was here, he admired Qing Yangzi very much and often said that his coming to Qi from the east was a blessing for our Great Qi. He once specially invited Qing Yangzi to the palace to learn from him... After that battle, Your Highness always praised Qing Yangzi whenever he mentioned him. Hearing the result of the battle of Xingyueyuan and Qing Yangzi's heroic performance, Your Highness couldn't help but clapped his hands and sighed, saying, 'This gentleman will rise to prominence.' Even... even this time, there was a will to present a gift to Qing Yangzi. I think that Your Highness is very sincere in treating Qing Yangzi, and Qing Yangzi is also sincere in thinking about Your Highness. As the saying goes, heroes cherish each other, and there is really no other thought. I beg Your Majesty to understand."

No one expected that Feng Gu would speak at this time.

These words completely supported Jiang Wang and essentially denied the emperor's "heart-piercing words".

To put it bluntly, Jiang Wang, a recognized genius and a young man of Qi State, has been rewarded for his meritorious service many times, and is still qualified to "be arrogant because of his favor" and contradict the emperor.

How dare Feng Gu, the chief eunuch of Changsheng Palace?

Even Jiang Wang himself did not expect that Feng Gu would help him like this. They had very few interactions.

Jiang Wuxie, who had always been silent, could not help but look at Jiang Wuqi lying in the coffin again.

This eleventh brother is really broad-minded.

Feng Gu, an old eunuch who was almost heartbroken, how could he speak at this time if Jiang Wuqi really admired Jiang Wang when he was alive?

Everyone knows that Jiang Wang has obviously approached Huaying Palace after returning from Tianyatai.

Even if he, Jiang Wuxie, has been showing goodwill to Jiang Wang, he has his own sense of proportion and will not take the initiative to build momentum for him. After all, that is already a competitor.

Jiang Wuqi is really... in the dragon competition, but his focus is always on the whole world, regardless of the palace.

He never thought that, apart from the fact that his father favored him due to his unfortunate fate, he was inferior to his eleventh brother. But at this moment, he had to admit that he did lose a few points in terms of his heart.

If Wuqi and he were in different positions, he would never have pushed Jiang Wang to Huaying Palace.

Looking at Jiang Wuqi, who would never open his eyes again, he thought of all the times when this kid always loved to "teach" him.

Jiang Wuxie sighed in his heart.

Maybe he should really "cultivate his heart".
