MTL - Jade Without Fragrance-Chapter 332 choose

   Chapter 332 Selection

   Emperor Tai'an quietly waited for Qi Ming's answer.

   He had no regrets or guilt when he expelled the elder brother from the throne, but he was somewhat apologetic to this nephew.

   It is not because Qi Ming is the prince, but because Qi Ming has the ability to do well in this position.

  But the palace change ten years ago made it impossible for him to return the crown prince to Qi Ming. People are unpredictable, who can guarantee that Qi Ming will not settle accounts later? He can't hand over the honor and dignity of the second half of his life to others.

   Besides, his fourth son died at the hands of Qi Ming.

   For Qi Ming, he has hatred and debt, and is willing to keep him alive, just like that, no more.

   This is Emperor Tai'an, he has always been the one who takes the initiative.

   Qi Ming lowered his eyes slightly: "There are so many troubles in the world, nephew wants to live the life of an outsider."

   Emperor Tai'an was stunned: "Do you want to become a monk?"

  Qi Ming looked at Emperor Tai'an's shocked face and nodded slightly.

   Emperor Tai'an moved his lips, trying to persuade a few words, but he couldn't. After thinking about it, he felt that Qi Ming's choice was the most suitable.

"No regrets?"

   Qi Ming smiled: "This is the life my nephew wants."

   "Is there any place you want to go?"

   "Tianyuan Temple, it's just in the capital. Occasionally the fourth uncle gets bored, and he can still listen to his nephew lecture on the scriptures."

   Emperor Tai'an sighed secretly.

   I have to say that Qi Ming is a very smart person. Knowing that he is far away, he is the first to worry.

   "There are a lot of temples in the capital, let's take a look at others. I heard that Tianyuan Temple has been murdered repeatedly."

  The case of the headless female corpse caused a lot of uproar. Tang Wei was abusive, and the Marquis of Wuning was also deprived of the title because of her lax goddaughter.

Tianyuan Temple was not much better. Although it was found that the headless female corpse had nothing to do with the monks in the temple, there were two murders in a quiet place like the temple. Other temples burn incense and worship Buddha.

   As of today, most of the monks in Yuan Temple have been lost, and few pilgrims have not come to the door all day long.

   "My nephew also heard about it. I think it would be cleaner to come there."

"Decided?"

"Decided."

   Looking at his quiet-eyed nephew, Emperor Tai'an wanted to ask him for a moment if he had ever had a happy woman, but he didn't ask.

   Soon the news of the old prince Qi Ming ordained as a monk spread, and Baiguan Xungui was not surprised.

  I can't help it, there are too many jaw dropping things that happened.

   Emperor Tai'an still did not go to court.

  In the palace, because the dead snow cave of the queen mother is generally cold, it is snowing heavily outside.

   Emperor Tai'an never returned to the Qianqing Palace. He was in the Hall of Mental Cultivation while recuperating while looking at the roster presented by Zongren Ling a few days ago. When the roster was torn down, he had two or three candidates in mind.

   "Liu Chuan."

   "The slave is here."

   "The national teacher entered the palace."

   Soon, the real Mingxin appeared in front of Emperor Tai'an, with white beards and broad robes, and immortal style.

   "I have seen Your Majesty."

   Emperor Tai'an was half-sitting by the head of the bed, his ill face was hard to hide, and his voice was not very strong: "The national teacher does not need to be too polite. Thanks to the help of the national teacher, I didn't have to be calculated."

   "I am ashamed to be worthy." Mingxin Zhenren bowed his body, and it was difficult to see the impact of King Ping's death from the face.

   Whether it is Tai'an Emperor or Mingxin Zhenren, with their status, city government, and experience, no matter how big the storm is, they will only fall in their hearts.

Emperor Tai'an put away his thoughts of scrutiny, and his face was sincere: "This palace chaos, in the final analysis, is caused by the vacant position of the prince. I am now weak and unable to govern. I urgently need to choose a prince to share my worries and stabilize the society. ."

  Ren Mingxin nodded slightly in agreement.

Emperor Tai'an handed the roster to Master Mingxin: "According to my physical condition, it is not suitable to adopt young sons and nephews. There are 28 people on this roster, who are over 14 and under 30. The national teacher is good at stargazing and divination. , ask the national teacher to calculate who is the most suitable person."

   "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is inappropriate—"

Emperor Tai'an's face was straight: "What's wrong? Everyone knows the ability of the national teacher, and all the people who can be on the roster are my sons and nephews. As long as it is beneficial to the country and society, it does not matter which one I choose. The national teacher is also You don't want the situation to continue to be chaotic, do you?"

   "In this case, the minister will venture to calculate."

   Emperor Tai'an showed a faint smile: "Then it will be hard work for the national teacher."

   Twenty-eight people, I don't know if the people chosen by the national teacher are among the two or three he likes?

   Emperor Tai'an's current psychology is very contradictory. The attack of the little prince made him believe in the destiny, but his natural strong personality made him unable to give up his judgment.

  If the person calculated by the national teacher is being selected by the person he favors, it is definitely God's will.

   As for what if it is different? Tai'an Emperor does not intend to consider it for the time being.

  Each clan son recorded on the roster has a birth date, and the real person Mingxin deduced and gave the answer.

"The eldest son of King Jing's eldest son Qi Shuo has a pure life, and he is tolerant of all directions. He is a prosperous and virtuous person. If you use the eight-character theory, it is the most suitable for these people... Of course, it is a bit rash to judge only on the eight-character. Your Majesty should Just use it as a reference." Mingxin Zhenren's tone was light, with an impartial attitude.

   His heart was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.

   Will the emperor make the same choice as him?

   It is absurd to use eight characters to determine the prince, and the criteria for his choice of twenty-eight people are only two characters: suitable.

  Prince Jing is brave and resourceful, tough against the enemy, and tolerant to himself, but that little girl will be worry-free next year, but she has the world in her heart. If Prince Jing becomes emperor in the future, it will undoubtedly be his best help.

  Ren Mingxin does not deny that he was able to make up his mind so quickly to stand in front of Emperor Tai'an as his true identity, thanks to that little girl.

   He once said to her that the best does not mean that she will be chosen.

   Now, the emperor has given him the opportunity to choose, and he can finally choose the best for the Sheji and Limin.

   He is selfless and selfish.

   "Qi Shuo—" Tai'an raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I think he's good too."

   For some reason, Master Mingxin felt a little warm in his eyes: "Your Majesty—"

   "Just him." Tai'an didn't wait for Mingxin Zhenren to speak, and finally glanced at the thick roster, and repeated, "Just him."

  If someone else was listening, it would seem too hasty to settle such an important matter like this, but the sick-faced emperor seemed to have unloaded a heavy burden and murmured, "Just him."

   The two or three people in his heart were chosen, and the most inclined was Qi Shuo, and the person who was predicted by the national teacher fortune-telling was also Qi Shuo, so he had nothing to hesitate, and it would be easy to settle the prince as soon as possible.

  Tai'an Emperor massaged his head with Mingxin Zhenren, feeling better, and instructed Liu Chuan: "Push King Jing into the palace."

   King Jing murmured in his heart when he received the oral order: Why did the fourth brother ask him to enter the palace at this time?
