Tian's little cook

Chapter 777
Huangfu Xuan has not appeared for almost three months, and the ministers speculated that his health must be in jeopardy. Now that the sacrificial stone has collapsed, does it mean that the change of the throne is coming soon?
Seeing the ministers' discussions getting louder, Huangfu Chu said: "There have been thunderstorms and strong winds these few days. It's normal for some accidents to happen, and it doesn't explain anything."

As soon as he said this, the court immediately fell silent.

Huangfurui watched coldly, the collapse of the sacrificial stone might really indicate that his father's health was failing, but before he overthrew Huangfuchu, Huangfurui hoped that Huangfuxuan would continue to live.

If Huangfu Xuan died, Huangfu Chu would definitely succeed, then one can imagine his fate.

Li Zhijing, who had been silent since going to court today, suddenly asked Mu Zizhuo, "Dare to ask Mu Shangshu, should the collapsed sacrificial stone be repaired?"

"Of course." Mu Zizhuo nodded.

"The altar is an important place for the royal family, and the sacrificial stone is the most important thing. I remember that when the sacrificial stone was erected, the emperor must be present at the scene. This time the emperor is seriously ill, so the prince should be there, right?"

As the Minister of Rites, Mu Zizhuo naturally remembered this process very clearly.

Since ancient times, when the emperor was seriously ill or unable to attend important occasions, he was replaced by the prince.

But Mu Zizhuo was not stupid, he immediately understood Li Zhijing's intentions.

The southern suburb where the altar is located is not near the capital city, but a distance away. It takes at least three days to go back and forth, and one night must be stayed.

On the way from the capital to the southern suburbs, too many accidents can happen.

Li Zhijing played with this idea.

Seeing that Mu Zizhuo didn't answer, Li Zhijing was secretly proud, and asked again: "Mu Shangshu, am I right?"

Mu Zizhuo knew that if he answered "yes", Li Zhijing would come up with other strategies, which would definitely be detrimental to Huangfuchu.

Now that Mu Zizhuo is a staunch princeling, he is naturally on Huangfuchu's side, and dare not answer for a while, fearing to bring trouble to Huangfuchu.

Just when he was trying to come up with other excuses, Huangfuchu said: "Prime Minister Li is right. Father is seriously ill, and as the crown prince alone, he should really go to the southern suburbs."

Li Zhijing immediately climbed up the pole and knelt on the ground, "His Royal Highness, the filial piety can be learned from, and the world is touched. My minister invites the prince to go to the southern suburbs. One is to sacrifice the stone to re-establish the imperial power forever, and the other is to pray for the emperor, so that the emperor recovers soon. The third is to pray for the great victory and bless the weather.”

These three big hats were suppressed, on the surface they said nicely, but secretly they wanted Huangfu Chu to have to agree.

Seeing Li Zhijing knelt down, the ministers belonging to Huang Furui's faction also knelt down, repeating: "His Royal Highness, please come to the southern suburbs in person."

At this moment, Huang Furui also understood Li Zhijing's intentions, and nodded slightly, "I also ask the third brother to consider the future of Father Huang and Dasheng Dynasty."

Su Jixun had a straight temper and was so angry with them, when he was about to speak, Huangfuchu motioned him not to speak with his eyes.

"Ministers, please stand up." Huangfu Chu's expression did not change, "I already know how much you care about your father and the country."

"Prime Minister Li is right. It is an important matter for the royal family to sacrifice the stone and erect it again. I believe that if the father is in good health, he will definitely go to the southern suburbs. As a prince alone, it should be."

"His Royal Highness." Mu Zizhuo didn't care about court etiquette, and interrupted him directly, "Although etiquette cannot be abolished, but now is an extraordinary period. As a prince, you should sit in the court, and you don't have to go there in person. "
