Chapter 208 Fighting for auspiciousness
Such a wonder of heaven and earth appeared in Tianshou Mountain, and the court responded quickly.
At this time, he was still in seclusion. Liu Chengen asked to see him twice but did not see the door of the quiet room open. Now he knew that His Majesty was at a critical juncture, so he quickly found Concubine Cui.
As someone close to Zheng Yi, Liu Chengen already knew that His Majesty and several concubines had embarked on the path of cultivation.
Among these concubines, Concubine Cui is undoubtedly the leader.
"What did you say? A phoenix appeared on Tianshou Mountain and made a series of chirping sounds?"
"Yes, the noble concubine!"
Liu Chengen said respectfully: "This matter was discovered not only by the Imperial Army stationed in Tianshou Mountain, but also by many people in the capital and other counties."
"Some people say that this is auspicious blessing from heaven, and many people have already rushed towards Tianshou Mountain."
"The ministers in the DPRK are also discussing this matter and want to ask to see His Majesty."
"Where is your Majesty?"
"I asked to see you twice, but there was no answer. Maybe I am at a critical point in my cultivation."
Concubine Cui immediately made a decision: "Send the order, the imperial army will guard the important roads in Tianshou Mountain, and no one is allowed to enter."
"Yes!"
"Also... inform Mr. Chen and ask him to invite my master to discuss this matter together."
"No!"
Liu Chengen left quickly, and Cui Xiabing followed him out of Jiaofang Hall after arranging palace affairs, especially taking care of the children.
But as soon as he walked out of Jiaofang Hall, he was stopped by a group of figures.
After taking a closer look, it turned out to be Queen Lu Lin'er.
Not only her, but also Liu Chengen was kneeling aside, wondering what he was explaining.
Concubine Cui couldn't help but stop and bowed respectfully: "I have met the Queen."
Lu Lin'er glanced at her and asked: "Concubine Cui, what are you going to do in such a hurry?"
Concubine Cui said: "I heard that there is something strange in Tianshou Mountain, so I want to go to investigate, but I don't know that the queen..."
"Oh, I have also heard about this."
Lu Lin'er said softly: "Liu Chengen, you are so brave!"
"Such a big thing happened in the imperial mausoleum of the previous emperors of Dayu. Instead of reporting it to His Majesty, you came to Concubine Cui. What are your intentions?"
Liu Chengen kowtowed quickly and said: "Queen, please forgive me, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is in retreat. I have asked to see Your Majesty several times but still no one is there. I must be in..."
"Hmph!"
Lu Lin'er snorted coldly and continued: "Even if His Majesty is in retreat, you should come to see me. When will it be the turn of others?"
"Do you think so, Sister Xia Bing?"
Cui Xiabing hesitated for a moment, but still said respectfully: "The Queen taught you a lesson, but this matter is a matter for monks. Queen, you..."
"What about monks?"
Lu Lin'er asked back: "Now that your Majesty is in seclusion, the major affairs of the court should be controlled by the cabinet ministers, and naturally the final say in the harem is mine."
"Tianshou Mountain is the mausoleum of the previous emperors of our Dayu royal family. It is also a family affair of His Majesty, and it is also a major event in the harem. I should personally take charge of it."
"Concubine Cui, don't worry!"
After saying that, Lu Lin'er turned around and left, ignoring Concubine Cui who was chasing behind her.
"The Queen, the Queen!"
Cui Xiabing looked anxious, but was still stopped by several aunts, and could only helplessly watch the queen walk away.
With her strength, these ordinary people are no match for her.
But after all, she was just a noble concubine, and the other party was a queen. She was worried about each other's status, so it was hard for her to take action.
Otherwise, once word spreads, where will the royal family’s face be?
Seeing Lu Lin'er leave, Cui Xiabing could only shake his head helplessly and returned to Jiaofang Hall.
"Empress?"
Xiao'er, the personal maid, asked strangely: "The Queen is bullying you like this, just forget it!"
Cui Xiabing shook his head and said: "Although Lu Lin'er is a queen, she is just a mortal after all. How can I compete with her?"
"Decades of mortal life pass by in a flash, but after all, I have been with His Majesty the longest."
"Then what should you do, Madam?"
Xiao Er asked cautiously: "The Queen will not let you leave the palace, that day at Shoushan..."
"Lu Lin'er, you still underestimated the methods of monks like us..."
Cui Xiabing smiled lightly, grabbed it with her backhand, and two talismans appeared in her hand.
"You go down first."
"No!"
After Xiao'er left, Cui Xiabing unfolded the two talisman papers, made seals with his hands, and murmured in his mouth.
Fluctuations of mana attached to these two talismans.
Then, she folded the two talisman papers into the shape of a thousand paper cranes, and then cast the spell again.
"Thousands of miles without end, sound transmission from heaven and earth, disease!"
The two talisman paper cranes flapped their wings strangely and flew up.
It was a little shaky at first, but I quickly got used to it.
Then they turned into two rays of fire and flew out of Jiaofang Hall, flying towards Tianshou Mountain.
Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Lu Lin'er appeared here, accompanied by Liu Chengen, Lu Xiangqing, Wang Anshi, Zheng Xuanyue and others.
"I will pay my respects to the Queen!"
Lu Lin'er said: "Masters, let's get together."
"Thank you, Queen."
"I am just a concubine in the harem, and logically should not be in charge of political affairs."
"But the matter of Tianshou Mountain is related to the imperial mausoleum of my ancestors of the Dayu dynasties. Now that His Majesty is in retreat again, I can only do this once and for all."
Lu Xiangqing said: "What the Queen said is true. There are phoenixes appearing on Tianshou Mountain. This is a national matter of Dayu, but it is also a family matter of His Majesty."
"As the master of the harem, the Queen is qualified to manage this matter." Wang Anshi said: "Master Lu, the Queen, why don't you wait for Your Majesty to come out of seclusion?"
Lu Lin'er did not speak, but looked at Liu Chengen.
Liu Chengen could only say helplessly: "Master Wang, you don't know something. I have asked to see Your Majesty several times, but Your Majesty has not responded."
“The door to the quiet room has always been closed, and there is no sign of it being opened.”
"Your Majesty must be in a critical place of retreat at this time and cannot be distracted."
Lu Lin'er said: "Master Wang, you must have heard it. If the matter is urgent, I can only discuss with you all how to deal with the matter of Tianshou Mountain. How about it?"
Wang Anshi could only sigh and said: "I will obey the Queen's instructions."
"Very good."
Lu Lin'er said: "If an auspicious event occurs in Tianshou Mountain, the main roads in Tianshou Mountain should be blocked as soon as possible, and no one is allowed to enter!"
"Yes, Queen!"
"Also, it is best to send Jin Yiwei into the mountain to investigate, and find out where the strange appearance comes from."
"Yes, Queen!"
"My lords, what other ideas do you have?"
Lu Xiangqing immediately said: "Mother, I think this matter should be related to the tombs of the ancestors of the past dynasties, and focus on investigating the tombs of the ancestors of the past dynasties!"
Liu Chengen on the side suddenly raised his head, but quickly lowered his head again.
Investigate the tombs of past emperors?
What is Lu Xiangqing doing?
It's really... audacious!
Lu Lin'er said without any hesitation: "Okay, then let's focus on investigating the tombs of past emperors and find out what happened."
"No!"
Lu Xiangqing said again: "Mother, I think we should go personally to this matter. After all, hearing is false and seeing is believing!"
Lu Lin'er thought about it and said: "Master... Mr. Lu, do we have to wait until His Majesty comes out of confinement?"
"I am worried that your Majesty will be blamed once he leaves seclusion."
Lu Xiangqing frowned slightly and said: "We are all here for the Dayu court. Your Majesty is now in seclusion and cannot face it. We should share your worries and solve your problems."
"If it is truly auspicious, it will also be a blessing for His Majesty."
"Empress, what do you think?"
Lu Lin'er struggled for a while, thought for a while and then said: "In that case, I will go there."
"But before we go...Liu Chengen, continue to ask for an audience with His Majesty, but don't be too impatient. Just ask for an audience three...twice a day."
"My slave obeys the order!"
Under the order of Queen Lu Lin'er, most of the imperial troops in the capital moved again, moving in the direction of Tianshou Mountain.
On Tianshou Mountain, orders from the imperial court were quickly received.
The Forbidden Army, the Imperial Guards, and the Shadow Guards all dispatched to block all the important routes up the mountain, and sent a large number of personnel to search for something in the mountain.
Especially on the top of the mountain where the phantom of the phoenix appeared, thousands of people appeared, searching inch by inch.
And Lu Lin'er's sedan chair, after ensuring the safety of Tianshou Mountain, meandered out of the palace and headed in the direction of Tianshou Mountain.
……
At the same time, on a hillside on the outskirts of Gyeonggi Province.
A gallant woman wearing green clothes and carrying a long sword on her back was riding a horse towards Tianshou Mountain.
"A few days ago, I suddenly felt an explosion of spiritual energy. The direction should be right."
"Oh, I finally escaped from the family's custody. I'm going to have a good trip this time."
The woman's eyes were bright and she said: "The first place I visited was the capital of Dayu. I didn't expect that there would be an explosion of spiritual energy here. I don't know if I perceived it wrong or if it was really the case?"
"Let's go check it out first. Maybe we can find a new training place for our Tuoba family."
"In this case, Grandpa has nothing to say."
This woman is none other than the proud daughter of the Tuoba family, Tuoba Qingying!
"Drive!"
Tuoba Qingying gave a sweet shout, and the horse immediately galloped towards Tianshou Mountain.
The horse's crows are affixed with energetic captives, making it extremely fast.
When a man and a horse rushed into the Gyeonggi area, it was only a short time before they had a cup of tea. Tuoba Qingying suddenly pulled the reins, and the horse "Herod" raised its front hooves high and stopped suddenly.
"Weird..."
Tuoba Qingying was very strange. Suddenly she made a hand with her hands and felt something carefully.
After a few breaths, she turned over on a prancing horse, walked around continuously, and continued to feel carefully.
"Good, such rich spiritual energy!"
"It's several times richer than the aura of my Yunmengze Tuoba family's residence!"
"Is this really the Gyeonggi region?"
She raised her head and looked into the distance. A huge city was located at the end of her sight.
That city is the capital!
But her goal was deep in the winding green mountains behind the capital.
"This place is rich in spiritual energy. Is it related to the outbreak of spiritual energy a few days ago?"
"Such a rich spiritual energy, could it be that spiritual veins were born, or... spiritual energy was revived!"
Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she immediately got on her horse again and flew towards the capital.
"Drive!"
"The spiritual energy is rich and gathers together but never disperses. There must be spiritual veins here!"
"Hahaha, if we can occupy this spiritual vein, our Tuoba family will definitely rise again."
"Really...God bless my Tuoba family!"
"Drive!"
One man and one horse ran as fast as the wind, and soon they were thousands of meters away.
