Chapter 25: Meeting
Step by step, I walked into the city and walked to the gate of the palace. [Full text reading. 】
"Minister, Chen Ziyuan, return to the palace by holy order!" Chen Ziyuan shouted outside the door.
All the civil and military forces dodged away, leaving a way. Chen Ziyuan held the holy decree in both hands and walked into the palace.
The emperor sat in the middle of this Jinluan Palace, his face full of satisfaction. Looking at Chen Ziyuan's respectful appearance, he was very happy.
Chen Ziyuan walked in and announced the holy decree in the hall. As a general who went to the border to guard the customs, he must explain this matter when he suddenly returns to the palace.
When the decree was announced, the emperor stood up, and all the civil and military knelt down together. Chen Ziyuan's voice was majestic and high-spirited, and he finished reading the holy decree and handed it to Wen Fengyou. With the emperor's sentence, the ministers of cultural relics dared to get up and lined up on both sides.
After announcing the holy decree, Chen Ziyuan raised his head. At this moment, he is not a prince who has just returned, but an envoy who has been ordered to come to see the emperor. Of all the cultural relics at the scene, he was the only one who had the right to look up at the king.
"Brother Chen Xian, I've been away for many years, and I've wronged you." The emperor said.
"In order to protect my Tang Dynasty, no matter how hard you work, what's the matter!" Chen Ziyuan's answer was sonorous and powerful.
The emperor nodded with satisfaction and sat on the golden chair.
"Brother Xian deserves to be me, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and he must do it himself for the sake of the Tang Dynasty. Now the border is peaceful and the people praise it, these are the merits of the virtuous brothers. Having such a prince is my Tang Dynasty blessing! The emperor laughed.
After laughing a few times with the ministers, the emperor's face became serious. Chen Ziyuan also lowered his head, everyone knew that the emperor was going to announce a big event.
"Father-in-law Wen, go"
The emperor was halfway through his speech and glanced at Wen Fengyou. Suddenly, I found that Wen Fengyou's face was not quite right.
This is a father-in-law who has served him for many years, and he has seen a lot of winds and waves. Seeing Wen Fengyou's face, the emperor was also a little strange.
"What's wrong?" The emperor asked.
Wen Fengyou took a few steps forward and walked to the emperor's side.
Cold sweat broke out on Chen Ziyuan's forehead, and he knew best in his heart that what could make Wen Fengyou's face so ugly was the matter of the Holy Decree.
Sure enough, Wen Fengyou handed over the holy decree to the emperor.
The emperor glanced at the holy decree, and there was a broken place in the holy decree. glanced at Chen Ziyuan again, Chen Ziyuan barely stabilized his demeanor, and he could still see a little panic.
"Father-in-law Wen, go and take out the holy decree." The emperor laughed a few times and returned the holy decree to Wen Fengyou.
Chen Ziyuan fell to the ground with a stone in his heart, it seems that the emperor has forgiven himself.
"This emperor really has the means to buy people's hearts." Chen Ziyuan thought to himself.
Another holy decree that had been prepared a long time ago was taken out, and Wen Fengyou read it with everyone in front of the lobby.
Zhong Wenwu and Chen Ziyuan knelt down again, and Wen Fengyou picked up the holy decree and recited it aloud.
What the holy decree says is nothing more than to let Chen Ziyuan go to Fujian to take office. It's just that this time the emperor added some words to the holy decree, not only letting Chen Zi go, but also handing over all the tasks to him.
Chen Ziyuan received the holy decree and felt faintly bad in his heart. I heard that what happened in Fujian was even more terrible than I knew.
"Brother Xian, everything will be handed over to you." The emperor said.
Chen Ziyuan nodded solemnly, took the holy decree, and slowly retreated.
To welcome Chen Ziyuan back, in addition to this formation, there was also a dinner party with the emperor. Chen Ziyuan has been away for three years, and when he comes back today, the pomp and circumstance cannot be bad at all.
Chen Ziyuan was arranged to rest nearby for the time being, waiting for the banquet in the evening. It was a place that was not too luxurious, and Chen Ziyuan was a little excited as he touched those things.
After many years outside, who knows how much he has suffered.
"All this is thanks to you." Chen Ziyuan thought to himself.
Someone here took care of Chen Ziyuan, and over there, the emperor returned to his bedroom and sorted out his clothes.
The emperor has countless clothes, and there are different clothes for everything. For the dinner party to welcome the returning ministers, there are special clothes. The subordinates helped the emperor tidy up his clothes and went out respectfully. Only then did the emperor turn around and look at the beauty.
The queen has to participate in such an evening, and the emperor's favorite concubine can also participate.
"Concubine Ai, I will take you with me at the minister's dinner tonight." The emperor said with a laugh.
The beauty was not as happy as she imagined, her face was a little unhappy, and she said, "Your Majesty, the slave maid doesn't want to go." ”
"Why?" The emperor was a little puzzled, and on weekdays, these people in the harem fought over each other, for these facades. Now that he has given her such a big reward, he will still refuse.
"The slave is an ordinary woman, and there is no concubine so far. What's more, this is a gathering of the emperor and the ministers, and it is not good for a slave and a woman to come forward, and it is not very good to be courteous. The beauty replied.
"I've forgotten this." The emperor turned his head, took a few steps, and pushed the door open.
This beauty really doesn't want to go to this dinner. She didn't want to see that Chen Ziyuan, it would affect her a lot. But when he saw that the emperor didn't say anything anymore and pushed the door directly to go out, he suddenly felt a little lost in his heart.
Although she is coquettish, in her heart, she is almost like an ordinary woman.
The emperor walked to the door and looked out at the night. The night is deep and the fragrance is pervasive. The moon shines on the earth, like a dream.
"Aifei, you, just call Concubine Yue, go out with me!" The emperor turned his head, and his face was very simple.
The beauty hurriedly knelt down and said, "Emperor Xie." ”
Some of them are logical, and in an instant, the harem is full of the name of the moon concubine. A few subordinates came in and helped Concubine Yue pack up her clothes. He also dressed her in the decoration of a concubine of this level, taught her some of the simplest etiquette, and hurriedly took her out.
The emperor walked in front, and the concubine and queen walked in the back. This dormitory is not far from the place of the dinner, and in order to show the reward for the heroes who have returned, the emperor has to walk there.
Later, the queen smiled and congratulated Concubine Yue with a fake smile. In fact, she has long been worried in her heart, since ancient times, it has been this red face that has brought disaster to the country and the people. How many Ming Jun have been ruined on a woman's body, arrogant and extravagant, absolutely undesirable. But what could she say?
Concubine Yue followed the emperor's steps closely, but her heart was up and down. Later, she was going to see the ministers of cultural relics, and she wanted to see Chen Ziyuan, she didn't know what the consequences would be. Especially Chen Ziyuan, she didn't know if he remembered himself or if he would say something.
Raised his head and looked at the sky. The vast moonlight in the sky, everything is rich in texture and delicate to the point of intoxication.
"Your Majesty, how do you know that my past name also had the word Yueyue."
Concubine Yue thought, and the corners of her mouth showed a hint of an imperceptible smile.
She remembered someone.
