Chapter 871 The Prince and the King
Because the emperor fainted and woke up again, the atmosphere in the palace was slightly strange, and there was a kind of relaxed and nervous mood mixed with, and the contradictions were strange, but it was easy to understand. ()
After all, it is a celebration for the emperor to wake up, but the fact that he was in a coma for many days also means that the dragon's body is ill, which inevitably makes people feel that there are hidden dangers.
In addition, when the prince and the ministers made a fuss before, the situation became more complicated, and there would be tension and alertness. The most direct result was that the process of entering the palace became more and more complicated. Even officials like Qiu Yan, who are known as a bachelor and who can enter and exit the palace in terms of power, had to struggle for a long time before they were released.
When he arrived at the imperial study, it was almost noon.
"Aiqing Qiu is here, give him a seat."
When Qiu Yan entered the imperial study, Li Kun was writing at his desk. His face was a little pale, unlike when he woke up. This was normal. The rosy face of Li Kun was constantly shocked by others and maintained the vitality of his body. Now no one continues to maintain it, so he naturally recovered his own function. He relied on his nature to transport qi and blood.
But what really surprised Qiu Yan was that Li Kun was rushing to review the memorial now.
On the other hand, a small table next to Li Kun’s table also made Qiu Yan quite concerned. The table was one-third of the height of a normal table, and a half-large child sat next to the table.
The child was wearing a bright yellow shirt and had pairs of black and white eyes. He looked only five or six years old, but he sat in a stern look, with a serious expression, unlike an ordinary child.
But after careful investigation, Qiu Yan still saw the curiosity in the child's eyes, knowing that he was still a child after all.
After the rituals of the king and his subjects were finished, Qiu Yan sat down, Li Kun put down his pen and greeted the boy beside him, "Yan'er, go and greet Mr. Qiu."
After hearing this title, Qiu Yan confirmed the guess and knew that this child was Prince Darui and might be in charge of the world in the future.
"Yan'er has met Mr. Qiu."
"useless……"
Next, naturally, there was another refusal. It was all the plays of the monarch and ministers, and there was nothing to say. When everything was settled, the prince sat back on his seat and still looked serious, but his eyes rolled around. From time to time, he became more and more curious.
"In the future, Yan'er will ask her to ask her to teach her more about everything, so that she can understand right and wrong, and even more about her suffering." Looking at her son, Li Kun showed a loving look and said softly.
The prince was still young and did not understand the profound meaning. However, Qiu Yan was told that the intention of entrusting it, so he was about to get up and speak, but Li Kun waved his hand to stop him, and then he heard the latter say, "With the knowledge of my beloved, the prince's master can still afford it, but it is not convenient for me to directly increase the official position of Qiu Qing. You might as well wait for the national war to save another setback."
While speaking, he put away the memorial in his hand and continued: "There has just been news from the front line that the military situation is progressing smoothly. Qiu Qing's predictions have confirmed one by one that the situation is very good and the day of pacification is not far away."
Qiu Yan was staying in the palace before, and some rumors were brewing outside the palace, but because of the emperor's coma, the officials' attention was involved and there was no time to attack. Now that the emperor woke up, it is inevitable that someone would catch Qiu Yan's work again. At this time, if Qiu Yan was given an additional official position, it would undoubtedly be to put him on the fire to roast him.
However, these are originally the categories of mental skills and power skills. The emperor said all these, even the secret military information was casually mentioned. This was not his unintentional mistake, but a statement, a manifestation of heart-to-heart communication.
Of course, at the root of this, this is still a kind of art of controlling the lower world, but the degree of attention has changed.
After hearing this, Qiu Yan wanted to show something, which is common sense. Li Kun did not stop him. It was another monarch and ministerial drama. But when Qiu Yan finished speaking, Li Kun smiled and said, "It's just right time, I'm a little hungry. My companion, I'm instructing the imperial kitchen that I'll have a meal with Qiu Aiqing today."
"I know, I'm sure." Eunuch Wei nodded and ordered.
Qiu Yan was not polite. He knew that this time the emperor called himself over, communicated with others, and entrusted him with his or her heart. There must be other things to be said, and he would undoubtedly have to wait until the meal.
Royal meals are different from ordinary homes, and the process is complicated, but Li Kun has always advocated frugality and set an example. However, there are still some royal specifications there, so he waited for a while before the meal came.
After Qiu Yan sat down, the dishes he wanted were very simple. He couldn't help but be surprised that this dish was better than ordinary families, and it was even less than the heat of some ministers. Moreover, there were not many types, only a few dishes.
However, although the royal family has a special royal kitchen that brings together famous chefs from all over the world, the royal diet is not about color and deliciousness, but about health and health. It is mostly light and less spicy. In terms of taste alone, it is not as good as that of the princes and ministers, but now even the number has dropped, which is even worse.
Seeing Qiu Yan's expression, Li Kun guessed what he was thinking and smiled and said, "Don't be surprised. You can eat enough food. It's better than being hungry. There are still many people in this world that can't be full. It's worth saving a few mouthfuls." As he spoke, a look of lingering fear flashed across his face.
When Qiu Yan saw it, he knew that the emperor remembered the hunger experience in the Blood Prison, which had an impact on him. However, these were experiences of the divine body. As a "Scholar Qiu", he did not understand it, so Qiu Yan did not say much.
Unexpectedly, Li Kun changed the subject next: "However, my imperial chefs are different now, and ordinary dishes can be of unique taste. I might as well eat more."
Qiu Yan nodded and moved his chopsticks.
In fact, he had already seen that there was a faint breath of divine power floating in the food - the divine power of the stove prince!
In the palace, the dragon energy is deep and the gods are not suitable for living, and they will be deposed. Not to mention extending their divine power in the palace, it is not easy for ordinary gods to maintain their faithful people in the palace.
However, there are exceptions. If the royal family personally enthroned or allowed, they can naturally sit there and even share the fortune of the dragon vein.
In fact, there is a shrine in this palace.
At present, the reason why the Kung Fu Prince's divine power can appear in the meal is very simple. It was Li Kun who mentioned the name of the divine body and ordered the imperial kitchen to worship it.
"It seems that the emperor will reward my god part."
As soon as this thought arose, Li Kun said: "This time I was able to escape from danger, all thanks to the gods recommended by Qiu Qing. The humanistic gods have also told me a lot. I know that my beloved has received some kind of favor from Gods and his cultivation is also related to this, but the kindness has been repaid. I believe I am unwilling to go deeper. After all, there are teachings from the saints, but I still plan to inform you of this..."
"Huh?" Qiu Yan's heart moved, feeling the cause and effect in the void beating, and his luck suddenly fluctuated, not from the flesh and blood body, but from the changes in the divine way!
"I plan to be king of that god!"
"Enjoying the King?" Qiu Yan was stunned when he heard this. The result was indeed a bit unexpected.
Giving a king to a god is different from sacrificial sacrifices in the ordinary sense, and it is even different from celebrating a title for mortals. It is equivalent to giving a god a title first and then offering sacrifices. From then on, he has the qualifications to enjoy incense just because of the legitimate meaning, and even a court will organize sacrifices in person!
Moreover, the gods who were conferred kings have a much better character than ordinary gods in terms of character. There are many kinds of gods, and the canonization of heaven is one of them. In addition, there are also different canonization methods such as the people's wishes and heaven and earth. The canonization of the mortal court also occupies an unusual position in it!
The most useful point is that the officially enthroned gods, especially the gods who were crowned, are closely linked to the dynasty's fortune, but not one loss. If the dynasty collapses and the dragon vein changes its ownership, it will still be damaged, but it can still be retained. As long as the subsequent dynasty admits that it inherits the destiny and inherits the previous dynasty's kingdom, it will continue to worship the gods established by the previous dynasty!
Even if the new dynasty is not enthusiastic about the gods of the previous dynasty and contempts it, it is impossible to stop the incense in order to show orthodoxy and etiquette, especially the gods with the title of "prince", and it is even more impossible to be disrespectful to the gods who have the title of "prince".
It can be said that Li Kun's move can be regarded as a reward for his favor, repaying his life, giving him enough benefits, and not forcibly pulling the gods onto the dynasty chariot, which shows his sincerity.
However, although Qiu Yan was moved, he could not thank him with his flesh and blood, so he could only listen quietly.
After Li Kun mentioned a few words, he skipped it. I thought he knew that there was something wrong with talking about the gods in the palace. So after changing the subject, he talked to Qiu Yan about the recent incident of the official suing the government in the capital.
This incident was the dispute between Qiu Yan and Tian Youqing. Qiu Yan sued Tian Youqing, and even had a storybook among the people, called Qiu Xueshi Angry and the minister of the crime.
"I have heard of this incident. The Imperial City Department handed over several memorials. I know that Qiu Qing was almost framed because of me, so you can just let it go, no one will interfere!" As he spoke, a little cold light flashed in Li Kun's eyes.
When he woke up this time, Li Kun's temperament changed a little. The experience in the Blood Prison finally changed his mind, but it was impossible to tell whether it was good or bad in a short period of time.
However, Li Kun didn't have much time left, and he seemed to have noticed this. After experiencing life and death, he had a different perception from ordinary people, otherwise there would be no words like entrusting an orphan.
After saying this, the monarch and minister talked about some new gains and losses. Qiu Yan was about to use this to explore Li Kun's attitude changes, but got an unexpected result.
"I have decided to improve the military system. I am the best at writing military books and I am familiar with this. After I go back, I might as well draw up a charter and agree on a general idea."
"It seems a bit inappropriate to leave this matter to me..." Qiu Yan refused directly, so he could only remind him tactfully.
"It's okay..." Li Kun was about to continue, and was suddenly interrupted by the little eunuch who was coming quickly. The little eunuch looked anxious, but before he got close, Eunuch Wei walked over, listened with his ears, and then his expression changed. (To be continued...)
