Chapter 211 My Name Is Lu Mingyuan, Prince Dayan. I Take the Throne Today and Serve the Country! (Two Sheets in One)

It was very quiet in Qingzhu Palace.

After my grandfather finished recording the confession he gave in the prison, he left.

Lu Mingyuan was left alone sitting in the yard thinking.

Speak for the country?

How to do?

Could it be that the plan that grandpa thought of for himself would end in failure?

why.

He has only met the demon girl once, but the Empress of the Underworld can easily see through the substitute?

Reminiscent of the scene when the witch was put into prison and successfully left the capital.

Lu Mingyuan thought that there might be something fishy in this.

Maybe there are some secrets that I don't know.

Lu Mingyuan stood in the courtyard of Leng Palace, looking up to a certain direction in the north, unable to think of an answer.

However, at this moment.

The marriage proposal initially decided by the cabinet quickly spread in the imperial capital, causing huge controversy in an instant.

"Marriage?"

"His grandma's kiss."

"Why should I, Dayan, marry their demon kingdom?"

As the news from the court spread, the people of Kyoto were instantly in an uproar.

For the common people, getting married is an extremely bad thing. After all, it is not a good thing to send one's own people to a deserted and vicious place outside the border fortress.

They didn't know that the cabinet planned to replace the civet cat with the prince.

This matter is confidential.

The rumor that was revealed was indeed that he agreed to the request of Empress Da Ming.

At the same time, it is also a way for the cabinet to test the public opinion.

The people in Kyoto are different from other places. Although there are also poor people in Kyoto, at least they have no worries about food and clothing. Moreover, they are right at the feet of the emperor. Every household has some connections. The most common topics to talk about are related to government affairs.

Their thoughts, to a certain extent, can represent many people in Dayan.

But no matter what the scolding, everyone knows one thing, that is, the court has made a decision.

The Empress of the Demon Kingdom has apologized and done all the etiquette she should do. The Ministry of Etiquette is now going to negotiate with the Demon Kingdom envoy. If there are no major problems, then the marriage is basically stable.

Is Huai'an King Lu Mingyuan really going to marry Empress Da Ming?

As soon as the news of the marriage came out, some people were happy, while others were sad.

Naturally, it spread to the ears of major academies.

"The King of Huai'an is still a candidate for the crown prince no matter what. How can he just marry into his wife?"

"That's right, what is the court thinking? How can it agree to such a thing!"

Some scholars still have some good impressions of Lu Mingyuan because of King Lu's learning.

Everyone was dissatisfied when they heard the news.

Of course, there are also those who run for joy.

For example, Prince Chongwen's Mansion.

The Eighth Prince Lu Yunqing also just received the news, and his staff were all pleasantly surprised. They were extremely happy that Lu Mingyuan was getting married.

"Great! After the sixth prince enters the underworld, His Highness will be the only candidate for the crown prince!" A young Confucian scholar said with a smile.

"Then Lu Mingyuan doesn't know what's good or bad. He followed the example of the ancient wise kings and emperors and made three concessions and three withdrawals. Now that he has not won the position of prince, he will be in trouble of getting married. Let's get rid of it now."

"I think His Highness is bound to win the position of Prince."

When Lu Yunqing heard the news, he felt very unhappy.

"Okay, stop talking."

After he spoke, the people below noticed that His Highness was not in a good mood.

But this is all to be expected.

They believed that Lu Yunqing had the appearance of an emperor and would be a good king. His only shortcoming was that he was a little soft-hearted, especially towards his brothers.

Looking at the past dynasties, are there still few examples of royal brothers fighting each other?

If His Highness had been more cruel and got rid of Lu Mingyuan, he would have obtained the crown prince's position long ago.

Lu Yunqing on the side looked very guilty, and he asked himself.

If it were my former self, I might have written to the cabinet or the court to request that the marriage decree be withdrawn, or even mobilized contacts to prevent this from happening.

But now, he actually wavered and even didn't want to do this.

Because if Sixth Brother does not get married, the position of prince will no longer be his.

He wants the crown prince position.

Brother Six must leave Dayan.

He wants this dragon chair from Dayan.

This is inevitable.

Seeing Lu Yunqing's serious face, the counselor on the side persuaded him: "Your Highness, don't think too clearly about the Sixth Prince. You have too much guilt in your heart. Is it possible that Your Highness really thinks that the Sixth Prince has done nothing in the cold palace?"

"If this is the case, and the sixth prince is ordinary and an ordinary playboy, then how can the champion prince, Qi Shengxian, marry his daughter to him?"

"Perhaps he acted ordinary just in front of His Highness, just like Prince Jin. How could the people know how many dirty things he had done before the fall of Prince Jin's palace."

The counselor's words aroused the recognition of a sword-wielding Qi practitioner:

"Mr. Lu is right. No one in Jiulong's heir apparent is a good person. After the death of King Jin, the Wujiang Pavilion spread in the world is still operating underground. This shows that the death of King Jin did not disintegrate this idea. In terms of power, he is not the mastermind behind the scenes, at most he is an important figure, maybe related to Lu Mingyuan."

Lu Yunqing heard a lot of bad things about Lu Mingyuan, and said with an indifferent expression: "It's better to say less about uncertain guesses."

"yes!"

The people around him were sweating slightly on their temples and quickly held their hands in front of him.

One day after the news broke.

There are still many people who have no doubts and feel that the court has indeed agreed and the matter is a certainty.

The court's decision was reviled by many people.

But there is no way, they can't change this ending.

Early in the morning.

Qi Muxue had already arrived at the palace, walking in a hurry, apparently being led astray by the news from the Imperial Capital.

"Husband."

Qi Muxue is wearing a plain dress with a graceful figure, her hair is draped lightly over her shoulders, and she does not apply any makeup. Her face is solemn, her lips are moist and naturally crystal clear.

Compared with the past, Qi Muxue today is less dignified and her eyebrows are a bit more gloomy.

After not seeing each other for a long time, Lu Mingyuan even felt that Qi Muxue looked haggard.

She lost her former radiance and turned into a charming sickly beauty.

That’s right, it’s a disease.

It's just that it's not a physical illness, but a mental illness.

That's why emotions are written on your face.

"Your husband, I heard that you are going to marry Empress Da Ming as your son-in-law?"

Qi Muxue asked very anxiously, almost crying, her eyes were red, she didn't know if she had cried already.

Don't blame her either.

Except for the cabinet members and Lu Mingyuan himself.

Most people don't know the secret of the civet cat changing into a prince.

Even many officials and ministers of the Dayan court believed it to be true.

Lu Mingyuan felt very distressed when he saw her like this. Seeing his sweetheart sad, he also felt a little uncomfortable. He walked over and wiped her tears, and said guiltily: "Muxue, you have suffered during this time."

"This matter is not as simple as it appears. The court's words are not credible."

He explained and reassured.

"She is Lu Mingyuan's legal wife?"

Yun Qinghe, who transformed into the maid Bai He, was not far away, staring at this scene and asked Ziyun next to her.

Ziyun nodded slowly: "Yes, she is the princess."

"It turns out that Lu Mingyuan likes such delicate people." Yun Qinghe pursed his lips and blinked, not knowing what he was comparing.

Later, Lu Mingyuan and Qi Muxue briefly talked about the cabinet's plan to replace the civet cat with the prince.

Qi Muxue hugged Lu Mingyuan with her whole body and said with a choked voice: "Many people are spreading the word about this day's work."

"The people are already cursing."

"The students in the academy also started to curse."

"The entire Imperial Capital was filled with curses."

"I was almost scared."

Lu Mingyuan patted her back and comforted her:

"It's normal to curse a few times. It's also a helpless act for the court to do this."

"It will be nice to wait until the false prince gets married, the war is over, and we can settle down for a while."

Lu Mingyuan could understand. After all, the people of Dayan still had a sense of pride and pride. These things were not innate, but were created by Taizu Taizu and Emperor Yong'an personally.

Taizu, dressed in commoner clothes, swept across the ten surrounding countries, gained a great reputation, competed for destiny, and also gained national prestige belonging to Dayan.

But today, no one could have imagined that Dayan would have to compromise.

It can only be said that everyone has their moments of weakness and decline.

It's just that things will not change because of the abuse.

After all, marrying a prince and getting the country stable for twenty years is better than going to war with Great Yan. If the war is defeated, hundreds of thousands of troops will die in the battle, and millions of people will be massacred.

Think about it, who of these two scolds more fiercely?

"Your Highness also thinks that Dayan should get married?"

At this time, a delicate clip sound sounded.

Lu Mingyuan looked over and saw that it was Yun Qinghe who was speaking.

It just looked pretentious and playful, obviously deliberately pretending.

"This is" Qi Muxue let go of Lu Mingyuan and looked at this pretty woman with a rather cold temperament.

"The maid sent by my mother is called Bai He." Lu Mingyuan explained.

He glared at the other party fiercely: "Didn't you see that the king is talking to his wife? Don't interrupt."

"I and you." Yun Qinghe didn't expect that the other party would scold him like this.

I was stunned for a moment, then I thought, I couldn't reveal my identity, so I could only hold back this breath.

Yun Qinghe came out to cause trouble at this time, which aroused Qi Muxue's curiosity: "I am also very curious about the question raised by Miss Bai He. Does your husband think that Dayan really should get married?"

As soon as he said this, all the girls in the courtyard looked at him expectantly.

Lu Mingyuan glanced at them, shook his head, and said seriously: "Of course it shouldn't be."

"Looking at the past emperors of Dayan, no matter how bad the situation was, no matter how bad the king was, no matter how tyrant, no matter how dangerous the country was, Dayan never had a relationship with him. This is not a matter of face, but a reason why the country's spine cannot be bent. There is a first time, there is a second time, and there must be no compromise.”

"Cut five cities today, ten cities tomorrow, and then have to sleep overnight. What's the use?"

How could he accept such a dangerous marriage move and become the male favorite of the Empress of the Underworld? After losing everything here, he naturally refused in every possible way.

Empress Da Ming came over to be her favorite.

After saying that, all the girls were convinced and felt that Lu Mingyuan's words made sense.

Of course, marriage can maintain peace for a certain period of time.

But the country's spine is bent, and it can no longer be lifted up.

Lu Mingyuan took a look around and found that someone was missing, so he asked, "Why isn't Huo Hongling here?"

Qi Muxue sighed and said, "She went to the Ministry of Etiquette with her sword to question her about getting married, but I didn't stop her."

"ah?"

Lu Mingyuan was stunned for a moment.

Did you go to the Ministry of Etiquette with your sword?

So brave?

Isn't Huo Hongling a woman who considers the pros and cons very much?

What benefit will she bring to the Champion House by doing this?

Somehow, Lu Mingyuan felt warm in his heart.

"Husband, I feel so useless."

"Why am I so weak and unable to break through to the fifth level? If I were strong enough, I could be like Huo Hongling and go to the Confucian Temple for help, or even the Empress of the Underworld."

Qi Muxue clenched her palms and began to blame herself.

Lu Mingyuan knew that she was belittling herself again. Just like what her father-in-law said before leaving, she had fallen into her own knot. He could only comfort him: "It doesn't matter, everyone has their own light and heat, and has their own value. As long as I am very happy when my wife is by my side for one day, and that is enough."

Seeing this scene, Ziyun and Hongwan in the distance were both envious.

Yun Qinghe was the only one who silently rolled his eyes, seeming to be very dissatisfied with the two people's show of affection.

Two days passed.

The marriage ceremony officially began.

The envoy from the Demon Kingdom completed negotiations with the officials from the Ministry of Rites and decided on a date to hold the marriage ceremony.

this day.

A man who looked very similar to Lu Mingyuan, dressed in a bamboo-colored python suit, came to the wedding party.

I don’t know how the cabinet was selected, but the face does look very similar to Lu Mingyuan, the same height, and the same build.

It's just that his appearance is not as handsome as Lu Mingyuan's, he can only be regarded as a handsome boy.

This man looked numb. It was unclear whether he was under the control of drugs or mentally restrained.

The long queue was huge, and everything was decorated with lights and colors, as if it was an unparalleled prosperous time.

However, not many people congratulated the couple.

Most people were still cursing, but there were Jinyi from the Ming Deng Division at the scene to maintain order, so there was no trouble.

The gates of the capital were wide open, and Dayan's team followed Sheng Ming's delegation and slowly left the capital.

The Holy Underworld Mission was escorted by groups of men in black robes.

No one can see their faces, they can only feel that when the other person passes by, there are some cold and biting sensations on their bodies.

Some monks from the Third Academy saw the hand extended by the man in black robe, which was a withered and yellow skeletal hand.

Obviously these holy and underworld missionaries are not real living people.

Rather, it belongs to the ghostly underworld.

Today happens to be the end of the third day cycle.

According to the past, Eunuch Yan, with the imperial edict, stepped into the gate of Leng Palace for the fourth time and came to visit Lu Mingyuan.

But on this day, Lu Mingyuan was sitting in the courtyard, but the emperor's decree did not come.

In this regard, Lu Mingyuan looked calm.

There seemed to be some realization in my heart.

On this day, his mother Wang Zhaoyan and his grandfather Wang Hefu both came to comfort him. Although they all had smiles on their faces, Lu Mingyuan could still hear the regrets in their hearts through "Liu Li Xin".

The next day, there were many voices gloating about misfortune in the capital, and they said anything.

Some people say that the sixth prince brought all this on himself, and liked to engage in fancy etiquette, which ultimately cost him his position as prince.

Some people also say that the King of Huai'an is indeed not worthy of the position of prince. Compared with many princes in the past, he can't see any suitability.

Anyway, the people who looked down upon Lu Mingyuan and the forces who did not side with the Sixth Prince had almost all surfaced.

The situation is already very clear.

There are many cynics.

Just when everyone thought that the marriage was over.

On the fourth day, a news came from the border, waking everyone up.

"The king of Huai'an, Lu Mingyuan, is dead."

Didn’t you agree to get married?

"Lu Mingyuan" died like this?

What kind of tricks is Empress Da Ming doing?

Just when everyone was puzzled, the Empress of the Underworld once again sent out an edict from the Holy Underworld.

It was a black imperial edict, dragging out like a dark galaxy, appearing in the sky above the Great Flame Emperor's Palace, filled with profound and ancient power.

Only monks with sufficient qualifications know that this power comes from the ancient miracles of the Holy Land.

Why was the Empress of the Underworld able to secure her throne and summon the ten kings of the underworld?

It is precisely because there is a powerful god behind her.

She was born as a high priest and could communicate with gods and gain extremely powerful power.

"I, the Holy Ming, treated each other with courtesy and made peace with the troops. I didn't expect that Emperor Dayan would dare to use a fake to make peace. I will not give up. Finally, I will give you a three-day time limit. If you don't hand over the real Prince Dayan, my Holy Prince The underworld army will no longer be merciful!"

The ethereal female voice is full of indifference and aloof imperial majesty.

Everyone in Dayan knew that the Great Ming Empress was angry.

At the same time, people also knew the reason why Empress Da Ming was angry.

The prince sent by Dayan to marry him was actually a fake!

That's not Huai'an King Lu Mingyuan at all!

It’s actually a fake!

He used a fake to get married and was discovered by Empress Da Ming?

the next day.

The cabinet held an emergency meeting.

"What should we do? Empress Da Ming found out that King Huai'an was fake." Yang Jingyu, the Minister of Household Affairs, sighed.

"Are we going to marry the real King of Huai'an?"

The cabinet ministers all looked at Wang Hefu.

After all, Lu Mingyuan is his grandson.

This matter is of great importance, and the actions taken by the second assistant are also very important.

Wang Hefu felt extremely helpless, wondering how Empress Da Ming found out that the identity of King Huai'an was fake.

They have made sure everything is reasonable.

From their names to their deeds and looks, they were all selected from an audition, and their temperaments are similar.

If you are not close to someone, it is impossible to tell.

I don’t know what means the Great Ming Empress used.

But he still insisted and did not want his grandson to enter the Demonic Kingdom, so he could only say coldly: "In the worst case, let's start a war with Sheng Ming."

"Make peace, what's the point of making peace?"

A younger cabinet minister reminded: "Master Wang, this is not your style. You must think clearly that losing this battle will be a battle to destroy the country, not a game."

"Yes. Once we lose, it may be the last straw that destroys Dayan."

Wang Hefu said coldly: "I would rather die standing than lose on my knees."

Many ministers had complicated expressions and did not speak.

This is simple to say.

When the time comes, the country of Great Yan will be subjugated, defeated one after another, and tens of millions of people will die.

The army of the Holy Ming Dynasty will not talk to you about benevolence, righteousness and morality, it will definitely be a river of blood.

"Master Wang, put the overall situation first." Yang Jingyu advised.

Wang Hefu looked at Chief Assistant Yuan Xuangang for help, but found that the other party remained silent as before.

Wang Hefu felt disappointed and closed his eyes calmly:

"If the King of Huai'an enters the Demonic Kingdom, it will be the beginning of disaster for Dayan. Then I will no longer have the dignity to hold the position of second assistant."

"You want to resign?"

one cabinet minister said in surprise.

He did not expect that Wang Hefu, who had been in the officialdom for decades and was always cunning, would have such determination.

You can't see it at all on weekdays.

Just when everyone is at a loss.

At this time, a golden imperial edict appeared.

Quietly came to the cold palace.

"The imperial edict has arrived!"

Eunuch Yan came here reluctantly, but there was nothing he could do about the Holy Emperor's order.

After exposing the King of Huai'an for a day, he thought he would be anxious, but to his surprise, Lu Mingyuan was still sitting calmly in the yard playing with the birds.

"Father-in-law, what's going on?"

Lu Mingyuan looked up at Eunuch Yan's arrival and stretched lazily.

"The Sa family, by order of the Holy One, invites His Highness to leave the Cold Palace and enter the East Palace."

Eunuch Yan was already prepared for Lu Mingyuan's rejection, so his tone of voice was very perfunctory.

"Okay, just read the decree."

Lu Mingyuan smiled.

"What?!"

Eunuch Yan suddenly changed and said in great surprise.

"Your Highness agreed?"

Lu Mingyuan smiled slightly and said, "Can't I agree?"

“Not really”

To put it lightly, yes.

Is it over?

Eunuch Yan has not yet recovered.

What medicine did this King of Huai'an take today?

He had not agreed before. Why did he choose to accept the imperial edict this time?

"My father-in-law seems to have a lot of questions."

Eunuch Yan apologized and said with a smile: "Why did Your Highness not agree the first three times but suddenly changed his mind this time?"

Lu Mingyuan said calmly: "Because I heard that the imperial court wants me to marry Empress Da Ming. I really don't know what they think. If I don't agree, will I be carried out of the capital?"

Lu Mingyuan's tone was meaningful and seemed to mean something.

This is ostensibly the empress's coercion.

In fact, it was also a secret arrangement and target of the father.

Become a prince.

Enter the Demonic Kingdom.

You can only choose one of the two.

The cheap dad will not allow himself to stay in the cold palace. He needs himself and he needs to create value by himself.

The underlying meaning is.

Be a good prince for me, meet my requirements, and become his old man's tool.

If it’s not appropriate, I’ll send you to be my son-in-law.

"Excuse me, father-in-law, can I leave the cold palace?" Lu Mingyuan asked politely with a smile.

Eunuch Yan forced a smile: "Of course."

Lu Mingyuan took one last look at the place where he had stayed for a long time. He gradually straightened his body, suppressed his smile, and shouted three times to the palace:

"Ziyun."

"Hongwan."

"White He."

"exist!"

Three beautiful figures in different costumes and long skirts appeared in an instant and came to Lu Mingyuan's side.

Lu Mingyuan said calmly: "Change your clothes for me, and then I, the prince, will leave the palace!"

Zi Yunhong heard the words and looked at each other, seeing the joy in each other's eyes.

The two of them were familiar with the journey, picked up the prince's python clothes from many eunuchs' plates, and helped Lu Mingyuan change into the prince's clothes.

On another gold plate, there is a smaller dragon seal. In fact, this is the prince's jade seal.

"So light." Lu Mingyuan held the Prince's Jade Seal in his hand, and it didn't feel very heavy.

At this time, Eunuch Yan, who was dressed in a red python suit, held the imperial edict and read solemnly:

"The sixth prince, Lu Mingyuan, is the second heir of the clan and belongs to the will of God. He hereby strictly abides by the initial edict, carries out the ceremony, obeys the public opinion, and sincerely informs heaven and earth, informs the ancestors, the ancestral temple and the country, bestows the book treasures, and establishes him as the great prince. Prince Yan, who is currently in the East Palace, has a rule that lasts for ten thousand years and a heart that spreads throughout the world!"

"My son, take the order."

"I will live up to my father's trust in the future."

Lu Mingyuan knelt down calmly and took the imperial edict with both hands.

The prince's jade seal is in the palm of his hand, after receiving the order.

The color of the entire Imperial Capital suddenly changed, and a majestic golden dragon appeared on the Great Flame Dragon Wall. Looking at the dark clouds in the clouds, it showed a bit of fear.

"Boom!"

A golden beam of light, and the vision that appeared behind Lu Mingyuan instantly attracted the attention of countless people.

At this moment, the incomparably bright sea of ​​​​qi filled the air with golden luck like a vast ocean.

Lu Mingyuan's body radiated light.

Eunuch Yan looked at this scene calmly.

This is the golden dragon's destiny for the prince's position.

The Great Yan Dynasty was the dynasty of destiny.

Once the prince is confirmed, he will be blessed with massive luck, which is one of the prince's benefits.

Just like them, ministers who support the dragon, they have been assisting them all year round, and have been blessed by Great Yan's national fortune, and their strength has been further improved.

It's just that the amount of luck is a bit exaggerated?

Eunuch Yan felt inexplicably uneasy as he looked at the growing golden cloud luck.

Everyone in the Imperial Capital was shocked when they saw the strange phenomenon in the sky.

"This is the luck of the golden dragon"

"It will only happen when the new emperor ascends the throne and the crown prince is established!"

"The Holy One is still here, could it be said that the prince is born?"

"Who is the prince!?"

The people of the Imperial Capital, scholars, and aristocratic families were all very curious about the candidate for the crown prince.

Along with an extremely loud voice, the gate of the palace appeared, and people finally knew who this luck came from.

"I am Lu Mingyuan, the Prince of Dayan."

"I'm in position today."

"At the north gate of Dayan Palace."

"For the Great Yan Dynasty."

"Establish a national proclamation."

The voice sounded.

Alarmed everywhere.

The terrifying prince's destiny also exploded at this moment, turning into a huge vortex. Multiple golden dragons flew out and roared.

Today, he, Lu Mingyuan, wants to speak for the country, raise the country's prestige, condense the dragon's soul, and shape the dragon's bones!

this moment.

Lu Yunqing from Prince Chongwen's Mansion widened his eyes completely.

His eyes were incredulous.

"Sixth brother has become the prince? How is it possible? Didn't he reject it three times? Why would my father still choose him?"

Wang Hefu, who was planning to resign and go into seclusion, was stunned when he heard this.

"Your Majesty. Sure enough, the Holy Will is unpredictable. It was right for me to leave."

Wang Hefu showed a look of relief.

His grandson became the prince, and it was time for him to retire.

In the imperial city, all the officials were completely shocked.

In the palace, the sound was like a thunderous explosion.

This vast but sonorous and powerful voice completely stunned Emperor Yong'an who was playing chess pieces, and then he showed a bit of a sneer.

"Sure enough, he has the luck of the three religions. No wonder he has such strong luck of the golden dragon."

At this moment, everyone in Kyoto was shocked by the terrifying scene that was rare in this millennium.

At the same time, they are looking forward to it.

The new prince said he wanted to serve the country.

What did he want to say?
