1388. Chapter 1388
Although I couldn't see his face, I could faintly feel that he was smiling, because of the pale skin, the sun shone on both sides of his face, and the contours were shining slightly, which made that smile a little more sacred, even brilliant.
Somewhat dazzling.
I looked at him and lost my breath for a moment.
As he walked in, he said softly, "I don't know, Lone has this qualification." ”
……
This voice is very light and gentle, like a sudden spring breeze, and even the elegant medicinal fragrance can be smelled in the wind, which is obviously so clear, but at this moment, everyone was stunned.
No one answered, and no one even reacted, everyone watched him walk into the hall blankly, the sun was left behind him little by little, and the thin figure slowly became concrete in front of him, especially his quiet eyebrows, thin cheeks, and the corners of his lips with a smile, all of which were no longer hidden, appearing in everyone's eyes.
My mind was empty.
Even the ability to think has been drained.
All perception, all that is left is the eyes, looking at the person in front of them, he, he-
Just when everyone was stunned and didn't react, the father-in-law Yu beside us fell to his knees with a thud, looked at this person with tears in his eyes, and cried and shouted: "The Emperor!" ”
The Emperor!
These three words, like a thunderbolt suddenly exploded in the clear sky, suddenly shook in the sky above the imperial city, and suddenly, all the people were stunned, stupidly looking at the man who was dressed in a leisurely cloth shirt, with gray hair tied up high, standing in the center of the hall, looking extremely gentle and quiet, but like a man who could resolve all the difficulties and obstacles in an instant in his own smile.
Emperor Taishang, Pei Ji!
Finally, at the moment when he heard the shout of Father-in-law Yu, he was sure that his eyes did not deceive him.
Although, I have long understood that he is the only one who can solve today's dilemma; Only he woke up and presided over the court situation, which could get us out of the predicament in front of us, but when I really saw this emperor who had been sleeping in the deep palace for more than ten years, and saw the person who had only been in the mouth of the protector and had a relationship with my mother, I still felt like a dream.
He just appeared alive in front of my eyes and in front of everyone.
"The Emperor! The Emperor! ”
At this moment, regardless of the consternation and disbelief of the others, Father-in-law Yu had already cried to tears, walked to Pei Ji on his knees, hugged his legs, and cried: "The Emperor! The Emperor! The old slave thought that he would never see the emperor again in this life! The Emperor! ”
Pei Ji looked down at him, a faint smile appeared on Qingjun's face, this smile made the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and lips deeper, but it didn't make him look old, but looked very gentle. His hanging hand gently rested on the shoulder of Father-in-law Yu, who was constantly shrugging because of crying, and sighed, "You...... Why is my hair gray. ”
With just this sentence, Father-in-law Yu cried even more.
At this time, Chang Qing, who was standing in front of me, slowly stepped forward, adjusted his clothes slightly, and then made a big salute, knelt on the ground, and said softly: "Erchen greets the emperor." ”
As soon as he heard her voice, Father-in-law Yu seemed to be woken up, hurriedly stopped crying, hurriedly got up, and felt Pei Ji's figure shake a little, he immediately stepped forward and reached out to support his arm. Pei Ji was probably used to being served by him, so he only smiled, then looked down at Chang Qing, raised his gray eyebrows slightly, as if he remembered something, and said, "Lonely remember you, you-you are the girl of the Chang family." ”
"Erchen Changqing."
"Yes, Lone remembers, I remembered a long time ago that I wanted to promise you to the third child."
“……”
"When did you marry him?"
Chang Qing's shoulders collapsed slightly, as if a sudden powerlessness attacked her, but the next moment, she still cheered up and replied clearly: "In the first year of Tiansheng, Erchen was canonized as the queen. Over the years, he has not been able to serve filial piety by the side of the Emperor, and he hopes that the Emperor will forgive his sons and ministers for the crime of unfilial piety. ”
The name of "Tiansheng First Year ......" seemed to be a little unfamiliar to Pei Ji, he squinted his eyes slightly, looked up at the air, as if he was thinking about something, and the Yu Gongcheng next to him wanted to remind him, but he smiled faintly: "Lonely, I know." ”
At this moment, everyone also came back to their senses.
Hearing the conversation between him and Gonggong Yu, and hearing the conversation between him and the queen, everyone finally realized that this person was the emperor, and he appeared alive in front of everyone's eyes!
Immediately, the ministers who were the first to react hurriedly knelt on the ground, just like the rain dripping into the pool to stir up ripples, and the people around them also knelt down one after another, and suddenly, all the civil and military officials in the entire hall knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Weichen greets the emperor!" ”
"The Emperor Taishang's holy life is boundless."
I also took Miaoyan's hand and slowly knelt down in the crowd.
Miao Yan hadn't come back to her senses yet, or rather, she didn't quite understand the relationship between the old man and her, and after kneeling down, she also stood upright, looking at him with wide eyes, or Nian Shen next to her reached out and pulled her twice, and she barely knelt down.
Pei Ji stood in the center of the hall, watching the scene of everyone kneeling at his feet, I don't know if it was my delusion, his eyes did not have the dignity and glory of standing above ten thousand people, but he was very calm, and even revealed a faint loneliness in the depths of his eyes.
He said softly, "You guys, get up." ”
As he spoke, he stepped forward and reached out to help Nian Shen up.
At this moment, Nian Shen was already so excited that he burst into tears, and he was about to cry, but he still tried his best to suppress himself, and choked up: "Grandpa Huang......"
“……”
"The grandson is deep, the grandson is ......"
He was so choked up that he couldn't speak.
Pei Ji's eyes widened slightly, looking him up and down.
He had been thinking for a little longer, and I remembered that when he fell into a coma, the child had not yet been born, and now, a handsome young man stood in front of him, his grandson, and had to take on the responsibility of a dynasty, and for this old man, this fact did take a little time to digest.
However, he didn't say anything, just nodded lightly after a long silence.
At this moment, he was not ready to say anything to his grandson.
Then, he slowly turned around, and his quiet gaze swept over the civil and military officials with different expressions in front of him, and finally, it landed on Nangong Jinhong, who was standing not far from him with a complicated expression.
And Nangong Jinhong also seemed to realize something, and slowly took a step forward.
At this moment, the people in the main hall fell silent.
Although the main hall has always been just a battle of words between a few of us, and there is no real sword and sword, but everyone understands that the atmosphere at that moment is nothing less than saber rattling, if the defeat of either side affects the situation of the whole world, at this moment Pei Ji's appearance, and then facing Shangnangong Jinhong, what will they say?
Pei Ji was silent for a long time, and said softly: "Nangong Qing's family." ”
Nangong Jinhong also slowly walked in front of him, bowed his head and said: "The emperor, the minister, the minister-"
As the two of them spoke, my breathing tightened.
I believe that Pei Ji must have been listening outside for a long time before he really entered the main hall, and he already had a general understanding of what was happening here before he appeared at this time, so what would he say and do in the face of Nangong Jinhong, this is almost the key to solving the dilemma in front of him at this moment!
It's not just me, it's everybody who thinks so.
They all held their breath and stared at the two men with wide eyes.
Pei Ji looked at Nangong Jinhong calmly, and after a long time, the smile on his face slowly faded, and said, "You-"
Nangong Jinhong's hands suddenly tensed.
"You...... It's old too. ”
“……”
As soon as these words came out, it was like an invisible blow, hitting Nangong Jinhong's body hard, his whole person trembled, raised his head, and looked at Pei Ji in disbelief, but saw that Pei Ji's face slowly smiled again, but he looked at him with an indescribable sense of relief: "We're all old." ”
"The Emperor, the old minister......"
"Lone also knows that you have been working hard for the court, assisting Lone, and assisting Lone's son, and now, you have to assist the new prince, no wonder, you have so much more white hair."
When he spoke like this, he gave people the feeling that he was not a king at all, nor was he the emperor above 10,000 people at the moment, but like an ordinary old man, seeing his old friend, he was nagging about the past, which had a subtle sense of disconnection with his identity, and the atmosphere that had just been tense, and the predicament at the moment.
It also made all the invisible swords and swords and shadows gather their edges at this moment.
I looked at Nangong Jinhong nervously.
I saw him looking at Pei Ji with a complicated expression, his eyes were intent, and his whole person was frozen.
I don't know how long it took, he finally let out a long breath, lowered his head again, and arched his hand and said: "But now, the emperor is unconscious, the court situation is chaotic, and the old minister is unable to return to the sky. ”
After saying that, he fell to his knees again and wept bitterly.
As soon as he knelt and cried, the officials around him who had been only looking forward to him before all knelt down at this moment.
Those people also cried together, crying while telling their nostalgia and admiration for the emperor.
I had already slowly stood up, looked at Chang Qing with a solemn face on the side, and then looked at Grandpa Yu.
The three of us, none of us spoke, but at this moment, we probably breathed a long sigh of relief in our hearts.
We know that this level has passed!
