Chapter 436 Are these two chess pieces going to be useless?
On the day of the completion ceremony of the National Master Hall, the entire palace was bustling with activity.
Emperor Yuan Tianchen of Jin has always believed that he has found two peerless masters. He is very happy to build the National Master Hall for them and keep them in the palace. He believes that this will be a good thing that will benefit the present and future generations.
Early in the morning, the weather was fine and cloudless.
In front of all the concubines, princes and ministers, Yuan Tianchen praised Wenren Li and Fuxing for choosing this day, saying that there would be no mistakes.
Everyone started talking about it after hearing this.
"Mr. Wen and Miss Fuxing are really capable. The weather has been unpredictable these past few days, but today is definitely a good day."
"From now on, they will be considered the Imperial Master and High Priest of our Great Jin. This is a blessing for our Great Jin."
"I heard that High Priest Fuxing once drifted on a dangerous river for many days without a scratch. He was chosen as the spokesperson by the river god."
On the high platform, Wenren Li and Fuxing were still wearing black robes, but their black robes were carefully sewn, and some strange and mysterious patterns were drawn on them with thin gold threads, making them look even more awe-inspiring.
Li Suining followed Yuan Huaihong and stood behind the Jin Emperor. She looked up at the sky from time to time, with a worried expression on her face.
That night, she saw Wenren Li and Fuxing suggest at the grand ceremony that Yuan Huaihong move out of the Eastern Palace and temporarily live in the side hall of the Yangxin Palace. At the same time, she also saw...
Wenren Li and Fuxing began to act.
The two of them continued to communicate using a cane and walked together to the opposite side of Yuan Tianchen.
They were the imperial masters, representing the gods, and from then on they did not need to perform solemn rituals to anyone, not even the Emperor of Jin.
The two men nodded slightly, and Wen Renli's cold and emotionless voice slowly sounded.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, last night, the lucky star vomited blood again and went on a stargazing trip, hoping to bring peace and prosperity to the Great Jin."
"The High Priest was stargazing again last night?" Yuan Tianchen's expression was somewhat distressed. "I have said that from now on, unless there is something serious or I have ordered otherwise, there is no need to neglect your health to stargaze."
He said this, but his eyes couldn't hide his curiosity. "State Master, what did the High Priest ask?"
"Your Majesty, it is true." Wen Renli paused and spoke again, "The High Priest suggested that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince temporarily move out of the Eastern Palace."
"What?" Yuan Tianchen's expression changed instantly, and he couldn't believe it.
The concubines and ministers in the harem were also very surprised.
"What does it mean to ask the Crown Prince to move out of the East Palace?"
"How can the Crown Prince easily move out of the Eastern Palace? What does the High Priest mean by this?"
"Could it be... that the Crown Prince is going to be replaced?"
"Don't talk nonsense, how is it possible?"
There was a continuous stream of discussion, and everyone was obviously surprised by this incident.
Yuan Tianchen subconsciously turned his head to look at Shangguan Jinglan beside him.
"I want to hear what the Imperial Master and the High Priest mean," Shangguan Jinglan said calmly. "If... Hong'er moving out of the Eastern Palace is beneficial to the entire Great Jin, then I naturally have no reason to stop him."
Yuan Tianchen nodded, "The Queen is indeed sensible. Let me first hear what is going on."
He looked at Wenren Li and Fuxing again and said in a deep voice, "Asking the Crown Prince to move out of the Eastern Palace is no small matter. Imperial Master, High Priest, please state your reasons."
"Your Majesty, Empress, asking the Crown Prince to move out of the Eastern Palace isn't about questioning his status. Rather, the Eastern Palace has always been one of the most important places throughout the dynasties, and it's also... one of the places that has caused the most killings..."
When Wen Ren Li said this, the surroundings suddenly became much quieter. Everyone looked at each other and dared not speak.
Throughout the dynasties, the struggle for the throne of the Crown Princess in the harem could be said to be a royal secret and a shame. Unexpectedly, Wenren Li actually said it so bluntly.
Yuan Tianchen's face darkened. He naturally didn't like to hear this, but when he heard it, the first people he thought of were Jing Da Ying and Yuan Xiaonian.
A few days ago, Jing agreed to move out of the cold palace with Yuan Xiaonian and came to the Yangxin Palace to express her gratitude, but he did not summon them.
At this moment, thinking of the two of them, his eyes involuntarily looked to the side, and saw Jing Da Ying and Yuan Xiaonian standing at the very end of the concubines from a distance. Seeing that his second son, whom he had not seen for a long time, was so outstanding, he couldn't help feeling a strange feeling in his heart.
Shangguan Jinglan's face was equally ugly. She had promised to let the prince move out of the Eastern Palace, but she didn't expect Wenren Li to say that. She quickly noticed Yuan Tianchen's gaze and quickly moved her body to block Yuan Tianchen's sight.
Yuan Tianchen could only look away and smile at Shangguan Jinglan.
Wen Renli continued, "During the time when the Crown Prince moves out, the High Priest and I will go to the Eastern Palace to perform rituals to eliminate the evil spirits that have plagued the Eastern Palace, and to pray for the well-being of Dajin and the Crown Prince."
Yuan Tianchen nodded in understanding. In fact, as long as his position as the crown prince was not shaken, he didn't think it was important where he lived.
He slowly asked, "But the Crown Prince has a special status. If he moves out of the East Palace, where do you think he would live?"
"The prince can temporarily live in a side hall of the Yangxin Palace, where he will be closer to the emperor and can learn more about court affairs." Wenren Li said.
After hearing this, everyone nodded.
After all, being able to live in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, even if it is a side hall, is an unparalleled honor.
Yuan Tianchen also nodded, thinking that there was no problem. He turned to look at Shangguan Jinglan beside him, and at this moment, a bright light suddenly came from the sky. It was... thunder?
Yuan Tianchen's face changed slightly, fearing that he had seen it wrong, and looked up at the sky again.
After all, Fuxing has observed today twice in advance. If it rains heavily at this time, wouldn’t it be... a slap in the face?
At this time, not only Yuan Tianchen, but all the ministers below also looked up at the sky.
Soon, there was another thunder, very bright, which made people feel frightened.
Even Eunuch Cao couldn't help but remind the emperor, "Your Majesty, it looks like it's going to rain. Do you want to... go back first?"
Yuan Tianchen didn't say anything, his face looked very ugly, and he looked at Wenren Li and Fuxing with a gloomy look. Obviously, he needed an explanation now.
At this time, Wenren Li and Fuxing were both standing quietly, and the cane they used for communication did not move.
For a moment, the atmosphere was a little frozen.
"What's going on?" Jing Ying, who was standing at the end of the concubines, asked in confusion. She whispered to Yuan Xiaonian beside her, "Is it going to rain? It's not common to rain at this time of year."
Yuan Xiaonian didn't say anything, but looked at Wenren Li and Fuxing from a distance.
He naturally knew that their prediction was false. If it rained, would these two chess pieces be useless?
He actually had some complicated emotions in his heart.
If Wenren Li and Fuxing lost the trust of Emperor Jin, then the Bai family's case could be quickly cleared, but he had to make other plans.
