Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-Three [Heart Grief] (1)
On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, after Hu Xiaotian had finished explaining all the matters here, he gathered nine thousand soldiers, took twenty large warships, carried five hundred thousand catties of grain and fifty thousand taels of gold, and set out from Xiasha Port, Dongliang County, along the
The Yongjiang River flows down the river and heads straight to the East China Sea. Their goal is directly at Mangjiao Island.
This time Hu Xiaotian personally appointed Chang Fanqi as the chief general to be responsible for combat command, while Yang Yuanqing was responsible for navigation and intelligence collection, and Xia Changming was responsible for intelligence collection.
Although Zhuge Guanqi did not accompany him, he also showed full confidence in Hu Xiaotian's trip. Before Hu Xiaotian left, the two of them had made various plans, but after analyzing the specific situation in detail, it was difficult to find out what plan should be adopted.
Mangjiao Island is determined based on actual conditions.
When Hu Xiaotian went to the East China Sea to fight against the bandits, Li Yongfu had successfully transported 100,000 shi of grain to Haizhou and handed it over to General Dakang at Haizhou Wharf to take over. At the same time, news about Hu Xiaotian's serious illness also reached the palace.
Of course, Long Xuanen would not believe the rumors that Hu Xiaotian was ill. He originally expected that Hu Xiaotian would not dare to come to Beijing in person. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lingxiao Palace in Piaomiao Mountain was renovated. The old emperor visited Lingxiao Palace that night.
Visiting again, I can't help but feel infinite emotions in my heart.
Hong Beimo, who accompanied him, said respectfully: "Is the Emperor satisfied with the reconstruction here?"
Long Xuanen nodded and said: "Satisfied, I always feel at ease when Hong Aiqing does things."
Hong Beimo said: "Everything here has been restored according to past regulations, striving to restore its original appearance."
Long Xuanen sighed with emotion: "I will never forget this experience in Lingxiao Palace!" He secretly made up his mind that he would never come here again. His eyes fell on the plaque of Yun Temple and he pursed his lips.
He pursed his lips, but finally didn't walk over.
Hong Beimo whispered: "The person your Majesty wants to see is waiting in the palace."
Long Xuanen hummed, turned around and walked slowly towards Lingxiao Palace. This cage that once imprisoned him has now become resplendent due to renovations, but this is the last time Long Xuanen has set foot here. Because it has been so long.
After coming back for so long, he still feels depressed from the bottom of his heart. The period of imprisonment in Piaomiao Peak has become an indelible shadow deep in his heart.
As soon as Long Xuanen's figure appeared in front of the palace gate, he saw a man throwing himself on the ground from a distance, crying and saying: "You are unworthy of Sun Tingzhen to see your majesty!"
Long Xuanen stood there proudly, looking down at his grandson lying on the ground.
Long Tingzhen was wearing the clothes of an ordinary palace servant, but he still had the arrogant and unruly royal aura of the past. It might be because he had suffered a lot of torture, and he looked extremely haggard, because he didn't know how his grandfather would punish him. Long Tingzhen looked very haggard.
Ting Zhen felt uneasy in his heart. After all, his father had kicked his grandfather off the throne and imprisoned him here. The father's debt was repaid by his son. Even now, he is not sure whether his grandfather, who has regained the throne, will hold him accountable.
Originally, after a lucky escape from Longting Town, he no longer dared to have any ambitions. If Hong Beimo had not asked him to enter the palace, he would rather hide his name and hide in the market. Even if he could not regain his position as prince, he could still save his own life.
This life.
Long Xuanen stared at Longting Town for a long time without speaking.
The terrible silence made Longting Town more and more frightened. He even thought about death. Maybe his grandfather would order his own death, that's all! Rather than living like this and hiding for the rest of his life, it would be better to die. Thinking of this, Longting
Zhen kowtowed on the ground and said: "Ting Zhen knows that my father's sins are serious and unforgivable. Ting Zhen came to see Grandpa Huang this time. He does not ask for forgiveness from Grandpa Huang, but only asks for death from Grandpa Huang. Ting Zhen's death is not a pity.
I also hope that the emperor will allow Ting Zhen to be buried in the Long Cemetery. Grandpa Huang..." At this point, Long Tingzhen burst into tears.
Long Xuanen suddenly laughed. He raised his foot and kicked Long Tingzhen on the shoulder. Long Tingzhen was knocked to the ground by him. A smile actually appeared on Long Tingzhen's face, because in the past
When he was practicing martial arts, Long Xuanen also did this to test how well he was practicing martial arts.
Long Xuanen pointed at Long Tingzhen and said: "You are also a loser. After practicing martial arts for so long, you still can't bear my kick. Get out of here. You want me to kill your own grandson. Is that right?"
Do you want me to be laughed at by everyone in the world?"
Only then did Long Tingzhen realize that Long Xuanen had no intention of killing him, and he got up from the ground in surprise and joy, saying hurriedly: "Thank you, Grandpa Huang!" This guy was originally an all-rounder, and through this
The setbacks reveal the vicissitudes of life.
Long Xuan'en said: "I've lost weight! I've also grown up. I'm still not confused. What your father does has nothing to do with you."
Long Tingzhen said: "Grandpa Huang, my grandson does not agree with what his father has done. It's just that his grandson is a low-key person in the court and cannot persuade his father to turn back. Because of this incident, he offended the eunuch Ji Feihua and was killed.
He was imprisoned in a dungeon where he never saw the light of day."
Of course Long Xuanen would not believe this boy's words, he smiled lightly and said: "I understand, I understand everything, take good care of your body, and when your body recovers, I will tell the world, and I will also officially enthrone you as Dakang
Prince!"
This is great news for Longting Town. His biggest hope was that the old emperor would no longer hold him responsible for his crimes and let him live. However, he did not expect that he would not only forgive his sins, but also consecrate him.
When I became the prince, thinking about how I was defeated in the battle with the emperor's brother, it seemed that he would be lucky if he survived the catastrophe.
Long Tingzhen knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes: "Grandpa Huang, my grandson will go through fire and water for his grandfather without hesitation."
Long Xuanen patted his shoulder and said: "I can't sit on this dragon throne forever. It's time to choose a successor. Your father is too impatient. If he didn't use despicable means to usurp the throne, this time
I still have to hand over the throne to him, Tingzhen, among all my children and grandchildren, you are the one I value the most. Originally, I thought you died young, and I was sad about this for a while. I just heard about you a while ago.
Still alive in the world, the surprise in my heart is indescribable. It is actually the best gift God has given me. Tingzhen, from now on I will put all the kingdoms of Dakang in your hands. I hope you will never let me down."
Long Tingzhen choked up and said: "Your Majesty, Grandpa Huang, if your grandson dares to feel sorry for Grandpa Huang in the slightest, he will be struck by thunder from the sky and pierced by thousands of arrows..."
Long Xuanen's face darkened and he said: "Don't say such bastard things. How can I not believe your own grandson?" When he said this, he couldn't help but think that there is no trustworthy person in the world, even his children and grandchildren.
Everyone in the room is looking out for their own interests.
Long Xuan'en said: "You stay here on Miao Miao Mountain to recuperate for the time being. Mr. Hong will naturally teach you what to do. You don't have to be impatient. I will grant you the status of prince in three months at most!"
Long Tingzhen nodded repeatedly: "Grandpa Huang, let alone three months, even if it is three years, my grandson can still bear his temper." He was not lying. He had already experienced a life in the dungeon where the sky was dark and the days were like years. For him,
It is said that there is nothing more painful in this world.
After Long Xuanen left, Hong Beimo stayed. Longting Town was extremely respectful to Hong Beimo. If Hong Beimo hadn't taken action, he would never have had a chance to see the light of day again, let alone the emperor's promise to give him money.
As the crown prince, Long Tingzhen said with great respect: "Thank you very much, Mr. Hong. Mr. Hong's great kindness to me will be unforgettable by Tingzhen!"
Hong Beimo smiled and said: "You have nothing to prove, how is His Highness the Crown Prince planning to thank me?"
Longtingzhen was stunned by his words. He was stunned for a while and didn't know how to answer. He had almost nothing now. Apart from his own life, what could he do to repay Hongbeimo? How could Hongbeimo care about this?
Life? Maybe he was looking at his future possibilities and wanted to repay him in the future. Long Tingzhen thought of this before he replied: "From today on, Mr. Hong is my mentor, and Tingzhen treats him as a disciple."
Treat each other, if one day I can ascend to the throne of God, I would like to share the world with Mr. Hong!"
Hong Beimo couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
His laughter made Long Tingzhen's face heat up. He felt deeply insulted, but he could not express his anger, so he lowered his head deeply.
Hong Beimo said: "If you can survive until that day, let's talk!" He sighed and said: "Do you know why Your Majesty did not disclose your information immediately?"
Long Tingzhen whispered: "It should be that the time is not yet ripe."
Hong Beimo said: "Do you know how many people want to kill you? Ask yourself whether you have the ability to protect yourself now?"
Long Tingzhen bit his lip. In terms of martial arts, he was only at the third-rate level. When it came to power, he was like a tree. There was no reliable helper around him. If he wanted to save his life, he could only rely on others.
, thinking of this, Longtingzhen said respectfully: "I hope Mr. Hong can give me some advice."
Hong Beimo said: "It is impossible for others to protect your life all the time. If you want to survive, you have to rely on yourself in the end. You have a good talent. If you had followed a famous teacher to learn martial arts since you were a child, you would have achieved success now. It's a pity that you were so big in the past."
All the time was wasted.”
Long Tingzhen smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Hong, even if I start practicing martial arts from now on, I'm afraid I won't be able to become a master."
Hong Beimo said: "That's not necessarily the case. The only way to become a master is to practice martial arts."
Long Tingzhen heard the profound meaning in his words and hurriedly said: "Mr. Hong, teach me!"
Hong Beimo said: "There is another way to make a person become indestructible and possess the power of gods and demons in a short period of time through body refining with medicine."
When Longting Town heard this, his eyes were shining brightly, full of expectation.
"It's just that this method of refining the body with medicine requires enduring pain that ordinary people can't. The whole process is so tortured that life is worse than death. If it weren't for superhuman tenacity, I definitely wouldn't be able to bear it." Hong Beimo said this and stared deeply at Long Ting.
Take a look.
