(The previous repetition of the chapter has been revised)

The Ministry of Rites is in charge of etiquette, sacrifices, banquets, schools, imperial examinations and foreign affairs activities in the imperial court, which is equivalent to the combination of the Ministry of Propaganda and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. There are four people in the pen and four in the www.biquge.info Lang, four people in the outside Lang, and several people in charge. In charge of the government of ceremonies, sacrifices, and tributes. There are four genera: one is the Rite Department, the second is the Ancestral Department, the third is the Dining Department, and the fourth is the host and guest.

And at present, the imperial court because of the war, the emperor believes that the world's etiquette and family planning is the foundation of the country, so there are four waiters as the adjutant of the Ministry of Rites, do you say that the Ministry of Rites is important, of course it is important, the six ministries of the court are important, but the Ministry of Rites rarely reflects its role from the surface, and even takes decades to establish family and country etiquette, it is not intuitive, but indispensable, just like a person's cultivation and temperament, it takes time to precipitate, more intuitively, for example, it is like the corporate culture of an enterprise, if an enterprise wants to be bigger and longer, it is necessary to establish a set of corporate culture deeply rooted in the hearts of the people。

Moreover, the ancient Ministry of Rites also determines a country's diplomacy, diplomacy is becoming more and more important with the progress of social production, to modern society, the strength of a country can be seen by a country's diplomacy, simply put, a person has the ability and strength, speaking to others naturally hard, this 'hard speech' is diplomacy, otherwise how to say that a weak country has no diplomacy.

So if there is a force that wants to seek the dynasty to usurp the throne, but anyone who has a little vision wants to be the emperor, the Ministry of Rites must not be replaced, not only can not be replaced, but also reused, reused the Ministry of Rites to stabilize the hearts of the people in the world, it is not a big deal to change the dynasty throughout the ages, a dynasty is decayed and festering, and what is strange about the extinction and elimination, it is not uncommon in history, but if you want to reform and change the body all at once, it will definitely cause chaos in the country.

By extension, reform or the will of the people or the heart of the emperor, the unity of the monarch and the people is an idealized reform model, and it must be gradual, but this model is rare, generally in accordance with the people's heart or the emperor's heart, both are difficult to reform successfully, and then back to the functional discussion of the Ministry of Rites, a person wants to be the emperor and wants to seek the dynasty and usurp the throne, but he must maintain the system of the country, this basic point, must not be shaken, after stabilizing the people's hearts, until the country is stable, can be reorganized according to their own ideas.

Thinking about it this way, it is not surprising that the Ministry of Rites Shangshu remains neutral, if Chu Xuan dares to have different intentions, the emperor would have destroyed him a long time ago, so this person, Shen Feng should also stay away from him, just be polite and polite, don't think about wooing, after Shen Feng understands the officialdom more in the future, he will understand these truths.

"Haha, the adults have won the award, how dare I show ugliness in the two adults when I am not ink. "A poetry feast actually sent a scholar and a scholar from the Ministry of Rites, it seems that the emperor attaches great importance to this poetry feast, so to speak, the emperor should also come, thinking of this, his eyes fell on the attic in the distance, and there was an elder in a golden dragon robe sitting in the center.

Chu Xi smiled slightly: "I heard that there are only five people here in Shengzhou participating in the poetry competition, and four of them are still the general's wives, why do you see the general alone at this time." ”

Shen Feng said with a smile: "My lord is not very well-informed, and one of the four is Gu Biluo, the eldest daughter of Lord Qu. ”

Chu Xi watched the past in surprise, Qu Chuxian stroked his beard and smiled: "I didn't know that Luo'er came to participate in the poetry banquet beforehand, by the way, what about Luo'er?"

Shen Feng didn't dare to explain too clearly, lest Gu Biluo know something afterwards, and said simply: "Miss Gu is a little uncomfortable, I will let others take care of her, my lord, please rest assured, I will let someone send her back to the house in a while." ”

Speaking of Miss Gu, Qu Chuxian looked pleased, shook his head and smiled: "It's okay, my girl is used to urinating independently, as long as she doesn't drink, she won't be able to do anything." "It's really my own daughter, I really understand, but Qu Chuxian never expected that Miss Gu really drank wine, and as soon as she drank it, she immediately had an accident.

Chu Xi was suddenly shocked and said: "General, is it possible that you are the only one on stage at this poetry banquet." ”

Shen Feng smiled helplessly: "One person, Er'er." ”

Chu Xi pondered for a moment and said: "The number of talented people who participated in the poetry feast in Shengzhou has decreased year by year, so it is better to ask the people in the audience at this time who are willing to come up and help." ”

"No need, just for fun, not to win or lose. Shen Feng smiled and said, "There is something I want to ask the two adults, I heard that the winner of the poetry feast can still enter the flower building, I don't know what the conditions are?"

Chu Xiao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed and said: "It turns out that the general is aiming here, in fact, the general has already had this qualification, as long as he can stand out in the poetry banquet, he can enter the flower building." ”

In this way, there are at least four people, Song Xingling will definitely try his best to find the eight characters of the talented girl, maybe he has already asked someone to inquire - I am really confused, I forgot to ask what the eight characters of the talented girl of the painting rhyme are, and when I thought of this, I hurriedly said: "Two adults, I still have some things, so I will leave first." With that, he hurriedly jumped off the high platform.

"Shen Feng, the poetry feast will start soon, where are you going-" Qu Chuxian paused, but saw that he had already jumped off the high platform.

"I'll be back soon—" left a sentence, and then quickly rushed through the crowd to the flower building, and when he approached the flower building, there was a sudden shout.

"General Shen-" The person who came was a father-in-law, and this father-in-law Shen Feng had also seen it, it was the old eunuch he had seen in the emperor's study last time, "General, please stay." ”

"It's Father-in-law Li?!?" Shen Fengqi said, "What's the important thing for Father-in-law to find me?"

"No, this time it was the queen who summoned the general. "All the eunuchs in the world seem to look exactly the same, with a flattering waist and a round face, especially the voice.

"Queen-" Shen Feng was shocked in his heart, the queen was the Yu'er of the year, and it was more likely that she was the murderer who killed Li Xiaoyue, she suddenly summoned herself, could it be that she saw Wu Yao, Wu Yao and Li Xiaoyue look alike, if the queen saw Wu Yao, she would be able to recognize her at first sight, I was really careless, I knew that the people in the palace would come to the poetry banquet today, and let Wu Yao participate in the poetry banquet together.

Gonggong Li said in a low voice: "Please go with the old slave." ”

The queen must have a trip here, feeling that she has a problem, Shen Feng muttered: "Father-in-law, I will go with you to see the queen, but can you do me a favor." ”

The old eunuch sneered, "General, please speak." ”

"There are eight characters of Xia Cainu in this flower building, you help me check the eight characters of Xia Cainu, and then take out the eight characters of Xia Cainu from the flower building. ”

Gonggong Li's face was puzzled: "Since Xia Cainu has put the eight characters into the flower building, how can she say that she will take it out, I am afraid that this matter is not in accordance with the rules." ”

Shen Feng observed the words and saw that he was not very resolute, and his heart was as clear as a mirror, so he quietly took out a piece of silver and stuffed it into his hand, and said with a wicked smile: "Please also ask my father-in-law to help me with this, the talented girl's birthday is written incorrectly, if people get it, I am afraid it will be unreasonable." ”

Gonggong Li quietly grabbed the silver into his sleeve, and sighed falsely: "Then the old slave will try, general, please-"

Together with the old eunuch they went up to the largest attic in the garden, from which they could look down on the whole garden, and when they came to a room, the queen sat upright, and after the salute, the rest of the people went out of the room.

"I wonder what the queen summoned me?"

"General, please sit down-" Queen Yu'er raised her hand slightly, her demeanor was dignified and magnificent, she was not the mother of a country, in the palace from the queen to the ordinary palace maids, this demeanor was strictly trained, and to be able to become a woman in the palace, this demeanor has been trained since childhood, just being beautiful is not enough, there are more beautiful women, and you can enter the palace to become a concubine or even a queen, and the temperament and etiquette on this body are the first choice.

"Thank you, Queen. ”

Shen Feng sat next to him without saying a word, but there were speculations in his heart, how could he not think of why the queen suddenly summoned him, there are most likely two, one is for the prince, and the other is for Wu Yao, the former is more likely, if it is the latter, then the problem is serious.

The queen didn't speak, Shen Feng wouldn't be stupid enough to speak again, the queen picked up the wine glass and took a sip of tea, her eyes were lowered, and she said in a calm tone: "I heard that the prince offended the general several times and led people to break into the general's mansion, alas, the prince is too ignorant." ”

Shen Feng was extremely cautious in his heart, but fortunately, he didn't let the queen see his state of mind at this time, and said with a faint smile: "The queen's mother is serious, the prince is still young, and it is understandable to be naughty, the queen doesn't have to worry." ”

The queen put down her wine glass and sighed lightly: "The crown prince will inherit the throne sooner or later, but he only knows how to have fun, so how can this palace not be worried." ”

This sentence implied something else, as if it was testing Shen Feng's attitude towards the crown prince's accession to the throne, Shen Feng figured this out in his heart, and still said with a smile on his face: "It's not easy to assert things in the future, the prince is destined by heaven, and if he ascends the throne one day, he will definitely be able to follow the example of several Kaizu emperors and work hard for the well-being of the world." ”

The queen narrowed her smiling eyes: "I hope so, if the prince can be half as sensible as the general, then the palace will be relieved." ”

From the moment she entered the door to the present, the queen had a peaceful temperament, and what she said was only concerned about the prince, and she didn't see any other intentions, Shen Feng said calmly: "The queen has praised it." "In the face of the queen and the emperor, Shen Feng's principle is to talk less and talk as little as possible, think more and consider more in his heart, and try to use words as much as possible.

"Don't be cramped, the general has summoned you to come here, just to talk to you about the prince, oh, the palace will not pursue this matter. The queen suddenly smiled and said softly: "I see that the general has a calmness that is different from that of young people, and I don't know how old the general is tonight." ”

"Eighteen. Whenever Shen Feng was asked this question, Shen Feng would answer eighteen.

The queen's face showed a look of surprise, and she was stunned for a while, before she smiled slightly: "I really can't see that the general is only eighteen years old, and the general has a wife?"

The real problem is here, the queen of the palace banquet was also present last time, it is impossible not to remember the events of that day, it seems that the queen must have found someone to investigate herself, Shen Feng's heart suddenly became cautious, and said calmly: "The emperor has blessed him with a wife, and he also has a marriage contract with the daughter of the Liu family and Miss Tang." ”

"Look at the memory of this palace, alas, people are getting older and more forgetful—" The queen suddenly asked, "Who is the general's wife?" ”

It seems that the queen must have known, so it is not clear how clearly she investigated, Shen Feng simply said: "The surname is Ji and Yao, just an ordinary girl from a mountain village." ”

"Ji Yao-" The queen's expression flew a trace of strangeness, her eyes flickered at times, sometimes forced to look, and then quickly lowered her swing and played with the jade wrench on her tail finger, and said in a complicated tone: "It must be born with a beautiful face and moon appearance, virtuous and virtuous, otherwise how can you make the general favored, the general has merit to the court, and the general's wife Anping's family business has made the general feel at ease that the battle is also meritorious, and he will be summoned to the palace on a certain day, and the palace will be rewarded well, does the general think it is okay?"

She must know that Wu Yao is from Tianfu!

I can't say that I have already guessed that Wu Yao is Li Xiaoyue's daughter, Shen Feng's heart shook violently, and he thought calmly under the oppression, who told her, no matter how much the court checked, it would be difficult to find Tianfu in a short time, could it be the eldest princess Zhao Yan, who almost forgot about this woman.

"The queen mother, please forgive me, my wife is weak by nature, she doesn't like to go out, especially the palace, and my lady is from a poor country, she doesn't know what the rules are, if she enters the palace to meet the queen, I'm afraid she will offend the queen. On the surface, he promised the queen that he would not let Yao Yao enter the palace, nor would he let Yao Yao recognize the emperor, it stands to reason that the queen and Zhao Yan knew about the existence of Yao Yao, and should try their best to kill Yao Yao, I don't know why they would compromise instead.

Is it because I don't do it?

Thinking about the queen Yu'er, who is most afraid that Wu Yao and the emperor will recognize each other, which will lead to the incident of the east window of the year, and Wu Yao has now become my wife, if the queen wants to kill Wu Yao, the first consideration is whether she will come to a fish and break the net, and tell the emperor all the things of the year.

It seems that the temporary compromise is for greater premeditation, and I will never take this queen mother lightly in the future, I was too focused on investigating the right king before, and in the future, whether it is the queen mother or the eldest princess Zhao Yan, we must be vigilant, and we must investigate the cause of Li Xiaoyue's death back then.

"It seems that the general is a golden house and is reluctant to let the family members enter the palace. The queen mother was silent for a moment with a calm expression, and said unintentionally: "The general directly refuses the palace, isn't he afraid that the palace will be unhappy?"

Shen Feng said calmly: "The queen is kind-hearted, and she must be able to understand my hardships." Both of them have something to say, and each plays a dumb riddle that the other knows well.

The queen mother smiled, suddenly sank her face, and said in a cold tone: "The general is upright, it doesn't matter if he talks like this to the palace, but he must be cautious with the emperor, and he can't anger Long Yan like last time." Another meaning of this sentence is to ask Shen Feng not to talk nonsense to the emperor.

Speaking of which, I already understood what the queen was worried about, looked directly at the queen, and there was a trace of strange joy in my eyes, and said with a sly smile: "Actually, I don't need to be reminded by the queen's mother, and I won't say anything in front of the emperor, I just need peace." ”

The queen mother closed her eyes and said, "The poetry feast is about to begin, please go back to the general." ”

Walking out of the room, the old eunuch was already waiting outside the door, secretly stuffed a note to him, and immediately entered the room, Shen Feng took the note and glanced at it, frowned, sighed and immediately rushed to the poetry feast.
