Chapter 435 Face

Speaking of the royal family of the Li Kingdom, most people know about the Liqiu Palace of the King, the Prince's East Palace, Zongzheng Temple, and the Ten Princes' Residences in the East City. But in fact, in the corner of the imperial city and at the back door of the East Palace, there is also a Baisun Courtyard.

Here are collected the children of the king, sometimes the prince, and the untitled maids. According to the patriarchal law, these are all concubines without inheritance rights, but they are still the direct blood of the king, and in case something happens

In the extreme case of the sudden death of a legitimate royal grandson, the Zong Zheng Mansion would arrange for the family to adopt the mothers of these concubine princes as adopted daughters, thus selecting some puppet princes to succeed them, ensuring that the throne of the king would continue in the bloodline of the legitimate king.

Of course, these concubine princes and grandchildren cannot leave the Baisun Yuan for life, and they only keep one generation in captivity. They are just in case insurance and puppets to carry on the family line. In most cases, after the orthodox princes with the support of their relatives succeed to the throne, the concubines in the Baisun Yuan

They will all be dealt with quietly to prevent the blood of the clan from leaking out and causing trouble.

Therefore, although various changes and disasters have occurred in the Li Kingdom, the feudal kings rebelled against warlords, rebelled against foreign enemies, and invaded the Demonic Way, and even the capital city was lost. However, the bloodline of the Li Kingdom has still been passed down to this day by relying on this emergency system, and the inheritance is generally intact.

Regardless of how they came about, the princes and grandsons who succeeded to the throne were all descended from the direct bloodline of the original Immortal Ziweiyuan and Emperor Nangong.

Therefore, even though the Nangong family has not been married to the Liguo clan for a long time, due to such a bloodline and patriarchal relationship, the Nangong warlord has not completely broken up with the Liguo clan. In name, it is still the immortal army guarding the vassal.

But there is no way to break away from the shackles of this legal subordinate.

Although it may not be the first time for Li Qingyue, it is indeed the first time for Li Fan to step into the Baisun Courtyard hidden in the shadow of the imperial city.

It is really just a small courtyard, surrounded by high walls. When you look up, you can only see the arrow tower on the top of the green wall and the Suzaku King's flag of Li Kingdom.

Fortunately, there were not many people in the yard, only a few wet nurses and old eunuchs taking care of the three infants.

These three are all the sons of Li You, no, the former king of the country Li Heng. When he was having fun and having fun, he was lucky enough to have a concubine born to a maid and dancer. If someone else had been in power longer, the elixir would have made him immortal.

If you are the lord of the country, or the heir apparent for sixty years, then this place will really be overcrowded. After all, there is a reason why it is called Baisunyuan.

The succession ceremony that will be held later is also very simple. The princes and younger brothers selected by the clan will go through secret rituals and drink the royal blood of these bastards. Of course, it is not so bloody and barbaric. It is probably from

Just prick the heart of the finger and drink a small plate of wine.

Then Zongzheng Temple will replace the royal certificates held by both parties, and the selected prince of the right age will be adopted in the name of Li Heng in the genealogy, inherit the royal life of the direct line, and become a new generation of kings from the country, and

Two county princes.

Of course, if they were older, these 'bastards' would definitely be strangled to death. If it had been the bloodiest and fiercest era of the imperial lineage struggle in the past, even these three babies would never have been able to survive. But Li Guo

The clan has been isolated for a long time, so there is no need for conflicts between clans to be so bloody. In the future, these three children will be sent to other feudal princes' mansions to be raised in captivity and become real bastards, and will be recorded in the records of Zongzheng Mansion.

Maybe, if they are very lucky, some of their descendants will come around again and inherit the orthodoxy.

Of course, it is not clear whether he really did this or whether he responded like this because Li Fan asked him personally.

At this time, the previous dynasty was still decorating with lanterns and decorating, preparing for the enthronement ceremony of the new king, but the purple-robed prime ministers came to this small corner and lined up to squat.

After all, these Liguo dignitaries may not know how many people starve to death at the foot of the high wall of the imperial city every day, but there is an incident in the Liguo clan that hangs up the gods of Nangong and Hengshan and kills them.

, that couldn’t be more clear.

Suddenly, an old eunuch with eyebrows as long as catkins reaching his cheeks suddenly jumped over from the other side of the green wall. Then, in Li Fan's confused eyes, he stretched out his hands, bowed to the ground, and worshiped like a snail.

He arched his waist and crawled to Li Fan's feet,

"King~~Enter~~~"

Li Fanxu raised his eyes and glanced sideways at the other person from the corner of his eyes, and the cold hairs on his neck immediately stood up.

Damn it, when did this old guy approach silently from across the wall! No! No! This guy is actually a god??

The purple-robed eunuch who was also kneeling outside Baisun Courtyard with his butt sticking out saw him. He suddenly started to tremble and sweat poured out from his head. He climbed in with a smile on his face and kowtowed as he said,

"The Marquis of Guan Nei reports that Changqiu is old and can no longer see clearly. Don't blame me!

Ancestor! This person is from the Guangling family. He is now the Marquis of Guannei and the Lord of Moshan, not the King.

Someone, please go back and rest, ancestor."

"Not your Majesty?"

The old eunuch with long eyebrows also raised his head, with a confused look on his face, and he was helped away by two little yellow men.

Old? How many years does it take for a great eunuch in the realm of gods to live to be like this?

Li Fan frowned and looked for a while before confirming that this was not Li Qiugong's show of force.

This old guy's spiritual consciousness is weak and his divine light is dim. I don't know if his soul was split apart when he was undergoing a tribulation. He stares in confusion, and he does look a bit like Parkinson's disease.

But this guy's Taoist body is really quite strong. Those hands are like jade carvings with a shimmering light. Moreover, the opponent did not take Waidan, but relied purely on martial arts to reach the realm of god transformation! Even if his brain is rusty

Yeah, a slap in the face can kill someone...

Li Fan showed no expression on his face, and there was actually a layer of cold sweat on his back. After the old man was helped away, he looked at the purple-clothed eunuch who came over and knelt at his feet, and the seventeen or eight people crowded outside the foyer behind.

A group of Nascent Soul Realm dignitaries knelt on the ground.

"Who are you?"

The purple-clothed eunuch was sweating profusely, licking his face and said, "Qiu Liang, the current foreman of the chamberlain! I have heard your name as Marquis of Guan Nei from Shaoqing Honglu! I only regret that my luck is shallow and I can't wait for your summons."

!

It's rare that you, Lord Marquis, have some free time today. If you come back and sit at home, your servants will call all your children and grandchildren to see you!"

"Greetings to the Marquis!"

Then the group of purple-clad officials who probably walked out, including the general and the minister, really looked like their children and grandchildren at this moment, smiling and kowtowing to Li Fanbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbang.

Honglu Shaoqing... Oh, does it refer to Wang Lang? Not counting the Parkinson's just now, this enemy eunuch is probably the leader of the eunuchs in the palace and the leader of a group of jackals in the West City after the eunuch Wang...

Li Fan glanced at these people. Except for Eunuch Qiu and the two military attachés who looked like generals, who were masters of martial arts training, most of the others were dignitaries who had reached the Yuanying realm with the protection of the Divine Infant Pill and the Divine List.

The kind that can be chopped over at will.

However, in the Liqiu Palace, there is probably not only one ancestor like the Great Changqiu just now. Although he is obviously too old to be of use, he can still scare people by being cold and abrupt.

"Okay, let me tell you the truth. I'm not calling you here for the sake of others. I heard that you have made a lot of money building houses in the past few years, right? Can you share some with me?"

Li Fan smiled and rubbed his hands at them.

"Yes! Yes! It has been prepared for you! Hurry! Bring it over!"

Qiu Liang smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed, and he stuck his butt out and moved aside to get out of the way. Then the little yellow gatekeepers filed in and placed four trays in front of Li Fan.

As if offering a treasure, Eunuch Qiu opened the silk on the tray and introduced them one by one.

"These are the three swords of the Emperor of the Immortal Palace in ancient times. They are said to be practiced at night. During the day, you can see shadows but not light. At night, you can see light but not form. When they touch objects, they will pass by. They will follow each other as they pass. They will feel sick but not bleeding.

Blade Yan..."

Why the hell is it a flying sword... Oh, it's a ceremonial sword that was worn as an accessory on the royal robes of ancient kings. It's the kind of sword that's more than four feet long and can't even be pulled out when an assassin is trying to kill him.

Of course, Li Fan could also tell that this sword was genuine. The sword master didn't know whether it was seriously injured and broken, or whether it was sealed. There was no response from the divine consciousness detection, but in short, it was obviously a good thing in the realm of gods, but his hand

There are really too many swords in it...

Seeing that Li Fan just curled his lips and had no interest in facing such a magical weapon that was famous throughout history, Qiu Liang sweated furiously!

No, that’s not right! Isn’t this guy the one who likes to use swords the most?

The first flattery failed, but the eunuch gritted his teeth and held firm. He quickly opened another plate and revealed a guqin. While introducing it, he carefully observed Li Fan's expression.

"This qin is called Nanfeng, eight feet and six inches, with a broken belly. The so-called seven strings are called the Seven Stars of the Dharma. The big string is the king, and the small string is the minister. In ancient immortal palaces, King Wen and King Wu added two strings to combine the kindness of the king and his ministers...

…”

Li Fan expressed some interest. This group of people is interesting, and they are really generous. The gifts given to him are all treasures that have reached the highest level of spiritual transformation. There is also a spirit in this piano. Is it called Qin Jun? It is probably the third level... Huh?

Three, five, seven...

Seeing that Li Fan seemed to be interested, Qiu Liang took a breath and said with a smile,

"There is another magical thing about this harp, that is, just by plucking the strings, the harp master can appear and accompany you. However, there are seven harp masters incarnations in this game! And their incarnations are all modeled after Migaki Migaki.

The stunning beauty of the past dynasties! As the saying goes, beauties match heroes..."

Damn it! There are only three of them in my family who are fighting bloody battles every day! Who can handle the next seven of you?

Li Fan immediately rolled his eyes and waved his hand to pass.

Eh, eh??? Why don’t you like this?

Qiuliang Waterfall was sweating, so I had to wipe away the cold sweat,

"This, this is meteorite falling from the sky! Divine soldiers from outside the territory! It is the auspiciousness that has recently fallen into the Li country! As the saying goes, the emperor's destiny is sent from the sky, and the energy is returned..."

Li Fan rolled his eyes, picked up the meteorite and shook it, "The weight is not bad, you can take it back to make a pot, I will accept it, thank you."

"Ah, this, no, but this is auspiciousness, ah, yes..."

I don’t know how many people died before I snatched back the magic weapon, so I’m just talking about it...

Qiu Liang was already numb, so he had no choice but to hesitate for a long time before opening the last plate.

This is a golden bowl, and there is a golden chopstick next to it. It is also a magic weapon at the level of gods!

Li Fan looked at this pair of bowls and chopsticks out of curiosity. Why, the emperor also had to use gold bowls and chopsticks when eating?

Qiu Liang also knew that Li Fan had never seen this thing before, so he picked up the golden chopstick as a demonstration and knocked on the bowl. Then with a clanking sound, countless divine money poured out.

Li Fan took a look at the arrangement and combination of the curse seals on the bowl when the spell took effect. He could see clearly that this was a storage magic weapon similar to the functions of a storage jade and Pixiu. The other end was probably linked to a small vault in the dragon vein somewhere.
