NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 458 Meeting the Ancestor
The ancestral temple is a place where the powerful members of the royal family gather. The seventh prince Li Ce and the eighth prince Li Hui met their ancestral king Lingluo in front of the gate of the ancestral temple.
"You also want to pay homage to the ancestor?" King Luo looked at the two princes with childish faces.
"Yes, Uncle Emperor, my eighth brother and I have something to see our ancestor. Please let us know." Li Ce bowed and saluted.
King Luo glanced around and felt that many eyes were focused here. He looked at Li Ce and Li Hui with unbearable expressions in their eyes and said:
"Do you know that many people from the royal family have asked to see the ancestor in the past few days? These people were seduced by a few simple words without even understanding what was going on. Most of them did not even know the ancestor's face. I didn’t see it, but a few of them went in and were scolded. Have you thought clearly?”
"Thank you, uncle, for reminding me. We have already thought about it." Li Ce bowed to King Luo again and smiled brightly.
King Luo narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Li Ce carefully, then stopped stopping him and nodded:
"Okay, I will go and ask my ancestor for instructions now. You guys will wait here for news from me."
"Thank you, uncle."
The two of them bowed and bowed.
When they got up, King Luo had disappeared.
Li Ce and Li Hui stood outside the hall door without squinting. In their peripheral vision, they noticed several members of the royal family staring at them in the distance.
In response to their gazes, Li Ce held his head high and raised his eyes to the sky.
However, observers observing the two princes from a distance can easily see that the bodies of the two princes are shaking, especially their legs shaking to a great extent.
During a cup of tea, King Luo appeared again and said slowly:
"Come in with me, my ancestor promised to see you."
Li Ce and Li Hui showed joy on their faces and quickly followed King Luo into the ancestral temple.
The ancestral temple is very large, with numerous mansions located there. Li Ce and Li Hui followed closely behind King Luo with their heads lowered, towards the deepest part of the ancestral temple.
The deeper you go, the bigger the surrounding mansions become. After years of accumulation, the momentum becomes stronger. Li Ce can sense that there are pairs of eyes watching them from the depths of the tall mansions on both sides, an invisible aura. Wandering in the sky, there are different scents, some gentle and peaceful, some sharp and extraordinary...
But without exception, the aura they exude is deep and profound, and each one of them is above the Dharma Lord realm!
Soon, the three of them came to the deepest, largest and most luxurious palace.
"Go in, the ancestor is waiting for you."
King Luo stopped and said.
"yes."
The two stepped into the palace and walked towards the main hall.
In the center of the hall, there are three jade platforms. At this moment, an old man is sitting cross-legged on the jade platform in the center.
The old man sensed the arrival of the two men and slowly opened his eyes. Thousands of stars were printed on his calm eyes, and the momentum was unfathomable!
The cold and hoarse tone sounded in their ears, as if they were talking next to them.
"Who sent you here?"
Li Ce and Li Hui trembled. Every time the ancestor said a word, it seemed as if a mountain was pressing on their hearts, and their whole souls were imprisoned, and they did not dare to have any small thoughts.
Li Hui couldn't help it first, and said with a trembling tone:
"Greetings...meet the ancestor, I...we are invited by the Queen."
In an instant, the ancestor’s gaze became sharp,
Li Ce and Li Hui seemed to be tightly surrounded by countless blades. Not to mention speaking, even breathing felt extremely unsmooth.
The cold eyes made the hairs on their bodies stand up one by one!
But the ancestor's sharp gaze only lasted for a breath before he withdrew.
The pressure on Li Ce and Li Hui's bodies relaxed, and by the time they reacted, the clothes on their backs were already wet.
"Tell me your purpose." The ancestor closed his eyes.
Li Ce swallowed, took a deep breath, took a step forward, knelt down on his knees, put his hands on the ground and said:
"Old Ancestor, since the death of my father, great chaos has broken out in every state. The emperors and brothers have no hesitation in deciding the battlefield with their own lives, attracting rebels to gather, and avoiding larger-scale wars. We in Zhongzhou still have abundant harvests, and every government is prosperous, and even most people in Zhongzhou I only heard about the chaos and misery of the troubled times, and made random remarks in my words, but I had no personal experience.”
The ancestor slowly opened his eyes.
Li Ce lowered his head and continued: "Queen Lin failed and was captured because she missed the Fourth Emperor. She asked me and my eighth brother to ask the ancestor to take action and let the ancestor order the King of Chu to release the Fourth Emperor."
"However, my eighth brother and I have different opinions."
"My father once taught and warned us that as members of the royal family, we should not easily care about what others say. We should make our own judgments in our hearts."
"So my eighth brother and I have always believed that failure is failure. If the Four Emperors fail and are given another chance, then Mingwang and Yuwang will also have to give another chance if they fail!"
"Then when will the fight between our Dayu Dynasty end!"
The ancestor's eyes turned to look at Li Ce who was kneeling on the ground. A bright light flashed away, but he said coldly:
"Huang Yao has no merit but hard work. King Xuan has been at war with Chu Junxiong. If King Chu is allowed to easily enter the capital, it would be too unfair to King Xuan."
"It's unfair to King Xuan, how can it be fair to King Chu!" Li Ce's tone became more excited.
"For the sake of the overall interests of the royal family, King Chu was the first to go to Lingzhou. In a crisis-ridden situation, he drove away the Chu sisters, regained Lingzhou, and defeated Huanzhou. He also rescued King Ming during the crisis and stopped the two dynasties. The danger of invading Fengzhou was because he turned against a desperate situation in one fell swoop, saw through Emperor Yao's plan, and captured King Yu and Emperor Yao. Isn't this what he deserves?"
"The King of Chu is indeed excellent, but..."
Before the ancestor had finished speaking, the eighth prince Li Hui also knelt on the ground and said in an excited tone:
"Ancestor, now the King of Chu has controlled the land of the five states, and King Yu is also in the hands of the King of Chu. No one in Yangzhou or Liangzhou can stop the King of Chu from taking it. If our royal family just obeys the wishes of the court officials, they will not be afraid of the King of Chu. Are you disappointed in our royal family?"
Li Hui's voice was deafening.
The ancestor's calm face finally changed, and an invisible and terrifying aura surged around.
But in an instant, the ancestor's momentum had been withdrawn, he was silent for a while, and then said:
"You guys get up."
"Thank you, ancestor."
Li Ce and Li Hui stood up and continued to bow their heads respectfully.
The ancestor smiled softly when he saw the appearance of the two of them. It was not like this when he used words to stimulate him.
"Then what do you think I should do, ancestor?"
Kindness flashed across the ancestor's eyes, and he said calmly.
Li Ce raised his head and said seriously: "Ancestor, my father once said that seeing is believing and hearing is false.
Regarding the various discussions and suggestions made by the King of Chu, why didn’t the ancestor just go to see the King of Chu directly, listen to his thoughts, and then make a decision! "(End of chapter)
