Chapter 277: Princess An Le (16)
There was so much commotion in the palace, even the first court meeting at the beginning of the year was canceled by Wu Zetian's illness. The Lantern Festival www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion is the day when the monarch and the ministers have fun together, but Wu Zetian attended but did not see Yan Yuan, and the most important thing is that Wu Zetian was followed by a young man named Chen Gusheng.
"Princess Changqing has arrived. After Wu Zetian sat down, Yan Yuan came slowly, and Wu Zetian beckoned to her: "Come!"
Yan Yuan walked to her side, and Wu Zetian said: "I can't drink enough, you toast with the ministers on my behalf." ”
"No!" If you ignore Chen Gusheng, it seems that between them as always, even Wu Zetian as she said, with Yan Yuan as the first choice for the grandson, you must know that it is the right of the prince to toast on behalf of the Son of Heaven.
"Go, serve the princess. Wu Zetian actually instructed Chen Gusheng, and Chen Gusheng said: "Your Majesty, Gu Sheng doesn't understand the rules......
"Huh?" Wu Ze looked at Chen Gusheng, raised his voice and looked at him, Chen Gusheng didn't dare to refuse, took the wine from the waiter on the side and stood on Yan Yuan's side, Yan Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty, why is this." ”
Wu Zetian looked at her, "I am the Son of Heaven, why not kill and take away?"
Yan Yuan pulled out the hand held by Wu Zetian in front of everyone's eyes, and Wu Zetian said: "In March, don't forget." ”
"Don't dare to forget. Yan Yuan lowered his head and replied, Wu Zetian waved his hand, "Go, don't let the ministers wait for a long time." ”
Yan Yuan could only follow Wu Zetian's orders, toast with the group of courtiers one by one, Chen Gusheng next to her cup after cup to renew, Yan Yuan respectfully and rudely toasted with the courtiers, if it were not for the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Yan Yuan would not feel that Chen Gusheng had any status in Yan Yuan's heart now.
can think of that night, as well as Yan Yuan's reaction after Wu Zetian spoiled this person, his heart was suspended.
"Your Highness, be careful not to drink any more. Wu Zetian asked Yan Yuan and Junchen to toast tea, Yan Yuan saluted one by one, and the wine did not decrease at all, and after drinking it in a circle, Yan Yuan could see that he was drunk, and Chen Gusheng couldn't help but persuade.
"Get out!" Yan Yuan drank coldly, so frightened that the wine holder in Chen Gusheng's hand fell, and Yan Yuan, who was originally in the spotlight of thousands of people, was even more staring at her at this time.
"Ancient life deserves death, ancient life deserves death, Your Highness forgives sins, Your Highness forgives sins. Chen Gusheng knelt down and kept kowtowing, and the scene became even more deadly, and Yan Yuan stood aside like that, kowtowing by him, constantly kowtowing, but he didn't say a word.
And when everyone peeked at Yan Yuan's expression, they quickly looked away, just because Yan Yuan's face was frosty, and he looked at Chen Gusheng as if he was looking at a dead man.
The timid man's teeth couldn't stop fighting, and when he reacted, he quickly bit his lip to prevent himself from losing his temper.
After knocking for a long time and still not hearing Yan Yuan's voice, Chen Gusheng couldn't help but look up at Yan Yuan, Yan Yuan also looked at him at the same time, his eyes met, "What's the matter, can't you knock down?"
"Your Highness!" Chen Gusheng called, Yan Yuan snorted coldly, "Do you know what you are doing wrong?"
Chen Gusheng was stunned, "Gu Sheng, Gu Sheng offended His Highness, Gu Sheng should die." ”
"No, if you offend this palace, you are still wrong not to die. You have three mistakes, Your Majesty ordered the palace to toast to the hundred officials, it is Your Majesty's trust in the palace, you dare to ask the palace to be invincible and not carry out the holy order, this is one of your mistakes; Your Majesty ordered you to renew the wine for the palace, but you overturned the wine saucer, this is the second mistake; the palace did not say how to deal with you, but you kept saying that you offended the palace should be damned, since you are the person next to Your Majesty, ordinary people know the seven officials in front of the prime minister, not to mention the close attendant of the Son of Heaven, so what do you mean? This is the third mistake of you. Yan Yuan counted them one by one, and the righteousness was awe-inspiring, and all the officials were dumbfounded.
Chen Gusheng never expected Yan Yuan to count his mistakes in public, and knelt aside with a pale face, "Gu Sheng, Gu Sheng doesn't know?"
"Don't you know?" Since the palace brought you back to the palace, the rules of the palace have ordered someone to talk to you in detail, and the palace rules have also asked you to read carefully, you don't know a word now, do you want to make the people of the world think that the palace should not bring you back to the palace?" Yan Yuan asked with a sneer, and Chen Gusheng said: "No, Your Highness, Gu Sheng has no such intention, no such intention." ”
"Okay Yuan'er. Seeing that it was about to be tense, Wu Zetian's voice came, Wu Zetian had already come from the upper seat, Chen Gusheng called His Majesty, and someone had already come out and said: "Your Majesty, this son intends to provoke the relationship between Your Majesty and Princess Changqing, and his crime should be punished, please deal with it." ”
Wu Zetian glanced at the courtier, pointed at Chen Gusheng and said, "Get up." I'm a little tired, you accompany me back to the palace, and I'll hand it over to Yuan'er here. ”
Unexpectedly, he didn't answer the words of the courtier, and called Chen Gusheng to retreat, and the courtier still wanted to speak, but Yan Yuan had already taken a step forward and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty." ”
It seems that the person who counted Chen Gusheng's mistakes just now was not her, and everyone couldn't guess Yan Yuan's meaning for a while, and Wu Zetian had already left with Chen Gusheng.
"My Majesty, my Majesty is gone, and all of you are at your own table and enjoying yourself. "Since Wu Zetian threw the banquet to Yan Yuan, Yan Yuan could only arrange it properly.
Di Renjie called His Highness quite worriedly, Yan Yuan patted his hand, and Princess Taiping had already said: "Yan Yuan, Your Majesty is always Your Majesty, even your own life is Your Majesty, not to mention that it is just a teenager, don't take it to heart." ”
said as if patting Yan Yuan's hand comfortingly, but Di Renjie was very worried when he heard this, this princess was also eyeing the throne, and seemed to persuade Yan Yuan, but she was provoking Yan Yuan's hatred for Wu Zetian.
"The imperial aunt said very well, even our lives are Your Majesty's, let alone just a mere teenager. Your Majesty sits on the world, she can take people's lives, but she can't take people's hearts, she wants to force other people's hearts, then don't blame others for not being able to bear it. Yan Yuan's words were gloomy and compassionate, Princess Taiping glanced at Yan Yuan, and Di Renjie persuaded: "Your Highness, Your Highness Wanwang must not be confused." ”
Worried about Yan Yuan like that, it didn't seem to be a fake at all, but Princess Taiping persuaded Di Renjie and said: "The old man is too worried, and the performance of the appropriate talent Yan Yuan is enough to show that Yan Yuan has no grievances against His Majesty, and he will not do anything foolish." ”
"Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping. No one reminded Yan Yuan that maybe Yan Yuan wouldn't do anything yet, but Princess Taiping deliberately broke it like this, Yan Yuan glanced at Princess Taiping, and Di Renjie's heart hung up.
"Princess Changqing, I would like to give you a drink. Di Renjie wanted to talk to Yan Yuan, but there was no chance, one after another came up to toast Yan Yuan, Di Renjie looked at Princess Taiping, Taiping smiled at Di Renjie and returned to his seat.
Until the banquet was over, Di Renjie couldn't find another chance, Yan Yuan was obviously drunk, and was carefully helped back by the palace maid, Di Renjie couldn't help it no matter how worried he was.
The situation between the DPRK and China was treacherous, and the envoys of the Great Food Country came here, temporarily diverting the attention of the DPRK and China from the relationship between Wu Zetian and Yan Yuan. However, the Great Food Country was far away from the Great Zhou, and the first time they intersected, in order to show the friendship of the Great Zhou, Wu Zetian ordered Yan Yuan to receive it on his behalf.
Yan Yuan listened to the envoys of the Great Food Country saying stumbling and stumbling Yayan, and finally figured out their intentions, the Great Food Country came to the Great Zhou to establish trade with the Great Zhou, the strength of the Great Zhou, the prosperity of the Great Zhou, they have been admired for a long time, and their Great Food Country has finally stabilized, so their king hopes to formally establish trade with the Great Zhou and prosper together.
Da Shiguo is the Arabs referred to by later generations, their language is somewhat the same as that of later generations, Yan Yuan listened to it for a few days, and the general idea was also to figure out their meaning, but they didn't know that Yan Yuan understood their language, sometimes when talking to Yan Yuan's side, they were discussing with each other, Yan Yuan just took advantage of this convenience, so that they didn't get any benefits.
So much so that they were annoyed and angry. "I have heard that the Great Zhou Dynasty is in the upper state, both civil and military, and the master of my Great Food Country wants to compare with the Great Zhou, I wonder if Her Royal Highness the Princess dares to take on this challenge?"
Challenge, Yan Yuan was never afraid, "What do you want to compare?"
"It's a competition. "The prime minister of the Great Food Country seems to be the Prime Minister of the Great Food Country, he originally invited the Great Zhou to fight for more benefits for the Great Food Country, but all their calculations were disrupted by the Royal Highness in front of them, "Our Great Food Country has always worshiped warriors, if the Great Zhou can win against the warriors of our Great Food Country, we are willing to accept any trade conditions proposed by the Great Zhou." ”
"On the contrary, if we lose the Great Zhou, the wind of the state should also agree to any conditions you propose. Without waiting for the envoy of the Great Food Country to say the second half, Yan Yuan had already consciously picked it up.
Yan Yuan rarely spoke, after learning about the intentions of the Great Food Country, she had already prepared a plan for cooperation, and threw it to the people below to grind with the people of the Great Food Country, during which no one felt that Yan Yuan's plan was too harsh, but Yan Yuan did not let go, how did the people of the Great Food show their weakness, Yan Yuan did not move.
"Her Royal Highness the princess can call the shots?" The people of the Great Food Country couldn't hide their excitement when they heard Yan Yuan say what they wanted, Yan Yuan said: "Since this palace is responsible for greeting you, this palace is naturally able to call the shots." ”
It is naturally the best to be in charge, I have been in Luoyang for a long time, and these big cannibals have already gone to inquire about the news, Yan Yuan, the princess, is deeply favored by the emperor, and will become the grandson in the near future, they just asked for a promise.
"For the sake of fairness, this is the territory of the Great Zhou, the time and place are determined by the Great Zhou, and the content of the competition is determined by you, how?" This is a kind of bearing, showing that he is not afraid of their big food.
"Listen to the princess. As for the content of the competition, it will be announced on the day of the competition, which can be regarded as an on-the-spot response, just like the battlefield. The big food country crawled on the pole and proposed.
"Your Highness!" The waiter of the Ministry of Rites, as an official who accompanied Yan Yuan in the negotiations, heard that this was not very favorable to their Great Zhou conditions, and called Yan Yuan unapprovingly, intending to remind Yan Yuan not to agree.
Yan Yuan raised his hand to indicate that he didn't need to say much, "Okay, this palace will always make you lose convincingly!"
"Can I invite Her Majesty the Empress of Da Zhou to watch the battle? Da Shiguo spoke again, and Yan Yuan chuckled: "But!"
Such a good talk is really beyond the expectations of these people in the Great Food Country! But the people in the Ministry of Rites are already so anxious that their mouths are about to bubble. Yan Yuan said again: "The time of the competition is set in three days, and the location is set in the side hall square of Tongtian Palace, which is very wide and can accommodate thousands of armies to fight, and the envoys are ready to go back." ”
The people of the Great Food Country expressed their acceptance of this time and place, and this was decided. Finally sent away the people of the Great Food Country, and the people from the Ministry of Rites said urgently: "Your Highness, how can the Great Food Country decide the content of the competition? ”
"What are you afraid of?" Compared to the anxious appearance of these people, Yan Yuan was really not worried at all, "Only people who are incapable will worry about not being able to compare with others." Da Shiguo has a saying that it is right, and the content of the competition will be announced on the day of the competition, just like the battlefield. On the battlefield, your enemies won't tell you where you're coming from, and they won't let you prepare early. ”
This is true, and the Ministry of Rites has no way to refute it. "Then what is Your Highness's plan?"
"This palace doesn't have to plan, this palace doesn't take them seriously. Yan Yuan raised his head proudly, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites was very helpless when he saw this, this matter is related to the prestige of the country, but this His Royal Highness has such an attitude, if the last Da Zhou loses, it will be majestic and sweep the ground, how can it be such a child's play.
"Since Your Highness is unprepared, let's play Your Majesty quickly. "I feel that I can't count on Yan Yuan anymore, the country is humiliated and the ministers are dead, and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites is already thinking about how to ask His Majesty to discuss countermeasures with the ministers of the court.
Yan Yuan could see the anxiety of this adult, the country humiliated the ministers to death, this person's heart is good.
"Let's go!" No matter how sure Yan Yuan is, the Great Food Country asked Wu Zetian to watch the battle, and Yan Yuan had to play this matter. It was Yan Yuan who went to Tongtian Palace with these people from the Ministry of Rites, and when he heard the sound of the piano, Yan Yuan asked, "Who is playing the piano?"
"Back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, it's Lord Shangguan. "Lord Shangguan is the official Wan'er, Yan Yuan is very unfamiliar with the sound of this piano, and he thinks that when will there be another musician in the palace. Since it's Shangguan Wan'er, there is no need to avoid it.
"See Your Majesty!" Yan Yuan came all the way, someone had already gone to tell him, under the pavilion, Wu Zetian sat on the couch, Shangguan Wan'er finished the song, Yan Yuan and the others spoke up, Wu Zetian responded, "How are you talking with Da Shiguo?"
Yan Yuan replied: "The big food country wants to take advantage of us, I refuse to back down, they want to use force to suppress people when they are in a hurry, so they want to compete with us, the time and place are set by Yan Yuan, the content of the competition is determined by them, and it will be announced on the spot of the competition." ”
Wu Zetian responded, "Since the matter is handed over to you to do, how can you betray it if you promise the Great Food Country and do what you want." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Three days later, I invited Your Majesty to come in person, and Da Shiguo invited Your Majesty to come and watch. Yan Yuan went on to say the requirements of the Great Food Country, and Wu Zetian finally glanced at Yan Yuan, "Since you want me to go and see it, then tell it and tell it widely, and let all the officials in the court and the central government attend." ”
Yan Yuan had no opinion, and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites said, "Your Majesty, is it time to prepare now?"
"Prepare, prepare, prepare, this matter is the responsibility of Princess Changqing, you just have to listen to her dispatch, and she will take care of the other merits or demerits. Wu Zetian said nonchalantly, "Okay, let's step down if there's nothing else." Wan'er, play me another piano. ”
"Yes!" Shangguan Wan'er agreed, everyone in the Ministry of Rites was so anxious, His Majesty didn't care about it, what should be the competition in three days?
