Chapter 191 Immortal guides the way

 May 12th, the sky is dim.

The morning light shone through the window coverings on the white marble tiles of the Wenhua Hall. Two chamberlains slowly walked into the hall and extinguished the copper lampshades one by one.

Wei Chen came out from the east class and bowed to Zhao Zhen who was behind the imperial desk. Then he took out the book on the imperial desk and turned to the page where the official lectured today. He pressed it with a golden ruler and then slowly retreated.

Move aside.

There was solemnity in the hall, except for the cadence of the officials’ sermons, which echoed endlessly.

Wei Chen stood aside bored, quietly glancing at the faint morning light outside the window panes. He remembered how trembling he was when he first came here as a banquet officer a few months ago, and how he was so familiar with it today. He couldn't help but feel a little unreal.

Feeling.

Although the first Sutra banquet attended by Wei Chen ended up being unhappy, the Sutra banquet did not stop because of this.

Except for the third, sixth, and ninth day of each month, which are the morning prayer days, the reading is temporarily exempted. The remaining one, second, fourth, fifth, seventh, eighth, and tenth days, unless there is severe cold or heat, no reading is given.

Of course, since the last Sutra Banquet, the three bachelors who annoyed Zhao Zhen have never appeared at the Sutra Banquet again. Most of the lectures and readings at the Sutra Banquet are completed by the Hanlin officials appointed by Zhao Zhen.

Without the three leaders, Han Zhang, Wen Yanchang, and Xu Mu, Jing Yan returned to its former calm and continued step by step.

As for Wei Chen, as the exhibition official, he naturally performed his duties unswervingly - turning over books for Zhao Zhen.

It's the same today.

But it’s a little different.

At the end of the morning's lecture, the chamberlain on the side reminded Zhao Zhen softly: "Your Majesty, it's almost noon, it's time to go back to the palace for dinner."

Zhao Zhen nodded and said to the lecturer, "Thank you for your hard work, Qing family." Then he got up, left the case, and drove back to the palace.

Wei Chen and a group of Sutra Banquet officials also entered the side hall of Wenhua Hall and enjoyed a sumptuous Sutra Banquet banquet.

While Wei Chen and his colleagues were eating and chatting, a chamberlain walked into the side hall and asked, "Is Wei Xiuzhuan here?"

Finally here!

Wei Chen breathed a sigh of relief, immediately put down his chopsticks, stood up and said, "I'm here."

The chamberlain solemnly said: "Your Majesty has issued a decree to send Wei Xiuzhan to the Wende Hall for an audience!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was surprised.

The emperor summoned him alone. This is the rhythm of relying on his trusted ministers!

Wei Chen seemed to have expected it. He was not surprised at all. Instead, he secretly sighed: The officials are really impatient. They summoned me just after noon. I thought I would have to wait a little longer.

Immediately, he followed the chamberlain who delivered the order out of the Wenhua Palace and arrived in front of the Wende Palace. This is the boundary between the outer court and the inner court. Foreign ministers are not allowed to enter without permission.

After waiting for about a cup of tea, the red lacquer door of Wende Hall was pushed open, and a smooth white face that Wei Chen was familiar with came into Wei Chen's eyes. It was Gao Huai, the chamberlain.

Gao Huai smiled at Wei Chen, then led Wei Chen to the Dongnuan Pavilion next to the Wende Hall, and said: "Your Majesty is still having a meal, Wei Xiuzhan, please sit down for a while."

After that, he reminded in a low voice: "Wei Liuyuan, relax. When your Majesty just had lunch, he had a great appetite. I think he is in a very good mood today."

Wei Chen nodded. This little eunuch had an eye for him and was quite kind to him. He whispered at the same time: "Thank you, father-in-law."

Gao Huai said quickly: "Anyway, your majesty's regard for Wei Liuyuan is seen by all the servants. I will ask Wei Liuyuan to take more care of you in the future."

"Easy to talk about."

After Gao Huai left, I don't know how long it took. The bead curtain hanging on the door was opened, and Zhao Zhen, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, slowly stepped in.

Wei Chen immediately bowed to greet him, but Zhao Zhen smiled and pressed his hand down: "Wei Aiqing will sit down and have a sip of tea first."

"I would like to thank Your Majesty for granting me a seat."

Wei Chen sat down as he was told, took a sip of tea, and then asked respectfully: "Your Majesty, do you have anything to ask about when you are summoned this time?"

Zhao Zhen seemed a little embarrassed to say it, and hesitated for a moment before saying: "I heard that there is a rumor in Beijing recently that Wei Aiqing met an immortal and gave him a poem in his dream the day before yesterday. Is this possible?"

Wei Chen said: "Reporting to your Majesty, this is indeed the case. The day before yesterday, I dreamed that I was in the Nine Heavens, and met an immortal singing from the sky. After I woke up from the dream, I recalled the scene in the dream vividly, together with the immortal The song is also kept in mind."

Zhao Zhen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he urged: "Recite the immortal's song to me quickly."

Wei Chen bowed his head and said yes, and then slowly chanted: "In Taohuawu, there is Peach Blossom Temple, and there is Peach Blossom Fairy in Peach Blossom Temple. Peach Blossom Fairy grows peach trees and folds flower branches for wine money.

………

The world laughs at me for being too crazy, but I laugh at people who can’t see through it. I don’t see the tombs of the heroes of Wuling, and I cultivate the fields without wine and flowers.”

"Wow, the world is laughing at me for being so crazy, but the world can't see through my laughter!"

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but scream in admiration, and shouted: "Such a work that is untainted by dust and otherworldly, only a god can write it!"

After admiring for a long time, Zhao Zhen looked at Wei Chen again and said with emotion: "Ai Qing is indeed the sixth grader, and Wenqu is reincarnated. I am so envious of you for having such an unparalleled destiny!"

After saying that, Zhao Zhen seemed to have thought of something again, and asked expectantly: "Besides this song, does the immortal have any other magical qualities?"

Hearing this, Wei Chen struggled for a while with an expression on his face, and finally fell to the ground with a look of determination: "The most important thing in the world today is the heir. For the sake of our ancestors and the people of the world, I have the courage to ask this question in my dream. I hope your majesty will forgive me for the matter of the Immortal Emperor's heir!"

Zhao Zhen's expression suddenly changed, he was silent for a moment, and asked with a trembling voice: "How did the immortal answer you?"

Wei Chen said loudly: "The immortal looked through the human scriptures and said that if the sage can adopt the descendants of the clan as heirs, his sage will definitely continue. This is the blessing of the Great Zhou Dynasty!"

After Wei Chen finished speaking, Zhao Zhen's face suddenly turned pale, he staggered and almost fell. When the waiter on the side saw this, he was shocked and quickly stepped forward to help him.

After the panic, there was silence in the Nuan Pavilion, and the chamberlains and maids standing nearby held their breath nervously.

After a while, Zhao Zhen seemed to have just come back to his senses. He looked blankly into the distance and murmured: "Does even the immortal want me to adopt the clan?"

As he kept mumbling to himself, the hesitation and doubt on Zhao Zhen's face gradually disappeared, and finally he sighed with regret and showed a smile of relief.

"I have orally decreed that if the great clan has no sons, then the younger clan will be his successor, and the one who comes after him will be his son. Now there are Zhao Zongrang, king of Yong, and Zhao Zongji, king of Yan, who are both handsome and talented, and they have been established as princes and entered the dynasty.

Counselor on political affairs. I will choose a worthy person to take over the position of heir."

Done!

When Wei Chen heard this, he couldn't help but feel determined. He and Han Zhang had been planning hard for several months just for today's big drama.

The so-called immortal theory is naturally nonsense. It is just a pretense. In fact, Zhao Zhen himself saw it very clearly. He could even guess that Wei Chen had received Han Zhang's instruction to do this.

This is the tacit understanding between the emperor and his chief minister.

Han Zhang saw the embarrassment of Zhao Zhen's situation and gave Zhao Zhen the stage of a fairy's dream. Zhao Zhen also quickly understood Han Zhang's intention and got off the stage.

Therefore, Zhao Zhen's expectations, shock, hesitation, and various emotions are just a performance for the world to see.

Perhaps only the sadness when he finally announced his decision was his true inner feeling.

The reason why Han Zhang found Wei Chen to star in this scene is because after Wei Chen passed the sixth grade, he became recognized as the reincarnated Wenqu Xingjun and the person closest to the immortal in the eyes of the world.

Therefore, it is undoubtedly the most suitable choice for Wei Chen to be the protagonist of this fairy's dream. After all, no one else has such a legendary character as Wei Chen, and any fairy's dream is not convincing enough.

Facts have proved that Han Zhang's vision is indeed ruthless, and Wei Chen once again strengthened the credibility of the immortal's dream with a song that does not belong to the world.

With the final result, not only Zhao Zhen was satisfied, the ministers were satisfied, but Wei Chen himself was even more satisfied. It can be said that everyone was happy.

Wei Chen couldn't help but feel a little surprised that such a huge contribution in formulating strategies and building reserves was achieved so easily.
