Chapter 422: Marriage
At that time, Zhuo Yiping had already gotten up, walked to the front to take the holy decree, and nodded at Gonggong Xi: "There is Gonggong Lao." The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "said and took a step back.
At this time, Mrs. Zhuo also got up and welcomed Father-in-law Xi into the house with a smile on his face. The afterglow swept over Hua Taijun. One after another, the congratulations were endless.
Hua Taijun's face was also full of smiles, and the smile made the whole person glow. But when he received Mrs. Zhuo's eyes, the corners of his mouth twitched with a smile. There was a flash in his eyes.
Zhuo Zihua, who was following behind, was really happy to laugh. The corners of his eyes swept over his parents, and he was even more crooked.
A room full of inseparable joy rippled in the Zhuo family's mansion.
The sun is still shining in early summer. The month of June can be described as a good day for the Zhuo family. All the families in the capital know that there is a daughter in the Zhuo family who was given marriage by the emperor. It is still the position of the concubine of the second prince.
Who is the second prince? But a proper future prince! Although his body has not been good since he was a child, there is no one else to stand up to but him! So the words that the daughter of the Zhuo family was hard to find came again.
The daughter-in-law married one better than the other, I don't know how many people in Beijing are envious. Of the three sons of the capital, two of them are occupied by the daughters of the Zhuo family, fortunately, there are no concubines in their family, otherwise it will be difficult to say that the last prince of Huairong will be able to say!
Overnight, the Zhuo family rose. Originally, it was the founding emperor himself, and it was the Zhenguo General's Mansion that was a good product. For a while, the limelight was unparalleled. In this general's mansion that envied everyone, Hua Taijun and Zhuo Taiye had dark faces. It's just not enough to be seen by outsiders.
In mid-June, the weather was already hot. At noon, standing outside for less than a stick of incense, it was so hot that people couldn't breathe.
The sun is blazing outside the southern city, and the trees grow lush and green in summer. Clumps of maran chrysanthemums emerged from the grass, dotted with white. Asters are scattered under the green trees, adding a touch of color to the summer days.
Pedestrians hurried by, holding their hands against the sun. At the door of the big house on the outskirts of the city, there were two small servants, one left and one right, sitting on the steps, each holding a stick in their hands, looking at the few pedestrians.
The catalpa tree standing in the center of the courtyard was in full shade, and the small yellow and white flowers blooming on it fell to the ground and scattered to the ground. On the courtyard wall, clusters of bulbs are hung all over the wall, like small red and white lanterns.
Zhao Fengyao sat in the room facing the Zishu and listened to Sanniang sitting opposite.
At this time, Xi'er walked in from the side room on the side and said to Sanniang Yifu: "Landlord, Jiang Shangshu and they have all arrived." ”
Sanniang stopped talking and glanced at Zhao Fengyao, who was sitting opposite.
"Shizi, then let's go to the back room first."
Zhao Fengyao nodded, followed Sanniang's footsteps, and walked to the room behind.
The door of the house opened slightly, Sanniang and Zhao Fengyao stepped in, and the guards guarding the room closed the door.
The room was a little dark, and when she walked into the house, Sanniang walked straight to a bookshelf and gently twisted the mechanism on it. The wall next to it opened in response. The stone wall opens, and behind it is a staircase, and below the staircase, there is a long corridor.
Sanniang walked in front, and Zhao Fengyao followed behind. The two of them went in and closed the wall door. On both sides of the road, there are night pearls. One is placed every five steps. The pearlescent light illuminates the entire corridor.
After a while, they arrived at a stone room, and the guards guarding the door saw someone coming, got out of the way, and Sanniang walked in first.
There were a few people sitting in the stone room, and when they saw Sanniang and Zhao Fengyao coming in, they all got up and saluted: "The old minister has seen the county grandfather." ”
If you talk about the prince, several people in this house don't need to salute Zhao Fengyao according to their seniority and official position.
Zhao Fengyao walked straight to the top empty seat in the room and sat down, and waved his hand at everyone: "Adults, please take a seat." ”
Hearing this, everyone sat down.
Zhao Fengyao sat on the top, his gaze sweeping over the people below.
Uncle Zheng Tian of Dali Temple, Liu Wenliang, the Imperial History of the Imperial Palace, Jiang Guozi, the Secretary of the Criminal Department, and Xiao Tong, the Secretary of the Ministry of Officials.
There is also the military department Shangshu, He Wenjing.
swept over, Zhao Fengyao's gaze fell on He Wenjing, and he said, "Congratulations to Lord He on appointing the secretary of the military department." ”
He Wenjing stood up and waved at Zhao Fengyao: "You have to rely on the county grandfather to promote." ”
Zhao Fengyao was not polite, looked at He Wenjing and nodded: "Master He, sit down." As he spoke, his eyes swept over the people in the room: "I have summoned a few adults to come here today to discuss important matters." ”
As he spoke, Zhao Fengyao paused. Look at the people in the room again. Everyone sat upright, looking at him with solemn expressions.
"The first thing is that my father is sick and dead." Zhao Fengyao looked at everyone and said slowly.
The court is planning to make a layout, and these days he often discusses and plans with several adults. However, since I received this incident, I have not told any adults. It was not deliberately concealed, but that saying this matter would not help the planning of the court situation, and it also added panic in personal hearts. At this time, the first is that the military department has been decided; It will not be long before the bad news will be transmitted to the capital.
The few adults sitting below were dumbfounded for a while, and after being surprised, it was Jiang Guozi who spoke first. He looked at Zhao Fengyao and frowned: "When did this happen?" ”
"The first day of the first month has arrived." Zhao Fengyao didn't want to hide it, so he replied truthfully.
A crowd of gasps sounded below.
"Did you go so early?" Uncle Zheng Tian was also really shocked.
"Oh my God, I haven't received a single bit of news from the capital." Liu Wenliang shook his head in disbelief in the imperial history of the Imperial Procuratorate.
"yes, that's a good secret. I haven't heard a hint of wind or grass in the past six months. Xiao Tong also sighed.
Zhao Fengyao looked at the surprised people below and continued: "This is what my father meant. The secret is not mourned, and the obituary will be passed on when the generals return to the dynasty in triumph. One is to not shake the morale of the army, and the other is to say," Zhao Fengyao paused, and then said: "For us to be able to go smoothly in the capital." ”
Jiang Guozi nodded after hearing this: "The prince is righteous, and he is still concerned about the overall situation before leaving, but it is difficult for him." Saying that, Jiang Guozi sighed. King Huairong finally died silently on the sickbed that lingered for many years. How many people still remember that he was also a brave and warlike general.
Jiang Guozi thought about this, and shook his head with a sigh and regret.
Zhao Fengyao glanced at him more, and quickly retracted his gaze.
"Then when will the obituary be transmitted to the capital?" The person who questioned him was Xiao Tong, the secretary of the ministry. His face was serious and calm.
"When the news of General Streamer's triumph comes, it will be sent to the capital." Zhao Fengyao looked at Xiao Tong and replied.
Hearing this, the ministers below looked at each other in confusion. Liu Wenliang turned his head to look at Zhao Fengyao: "Isn't General Streamer missing?" ”
Zhao Fengyao shook his head: "General Streamer is actually secretly chasing the remnants of Western Qi all the way to the side of Western Qi. ”
