Chapter 24: The Yellow Sparrow
"Then he knelt before the god of the Great Ancestors! When to know what you are wrong and when to get up again! β
Jing Yan tensed his face, and as soon as the words came out, Yun Rui was stunned.
She blinked in disbelief, staring at Jing Yan with a pair of crystal bright eyes, as if trying to determine whether the words that had just entered her ears were really what her sister-in-law said.
Sister-in-law said to let herself kneel in front of the throne of Gaozu and be punished?
Kneel!
Sister-in-law punishes herself for kneeling!
She is ...... Hmm, who is Yu Wenrui? The prince of the Great Zhou Empire! The future emperor! How can the dignified son of heaven be punished for kneeling!
At this time, Yun Rui came to the identity of the prince.
Being punished for kneeling, shouldn't it be something that a little crazy girl like Jing Jiayue should bear?
Why are you being treated like this?
Yun Rui puffed out his cheeks, tilted his face, and stared at Jing Yan tightly, his eyes flashing with grievance and unwillingness. Even so, she didn't disobey her sister-in-law and stood up-
I don't know what kind of thought it was, Yun Rui couldn't bear to rebel against any decision of his sister-in-law subconsciously, even if it was a decision that made her own suffering, Yun Rui couldn't bear to rebel.
Jing Yan lowered his head slightly, looking at the pitiful eyes like a little beast being left out, and his heart softened first.
At that moment, she wanted to pull the child up and tell her to "don't make an example".
However, she knew that this child was too clever and too distracted, and if she was not disciplined at this time, and did not let her know the word "awe", she might get into trouble as she grew up in the future. If it is a child of an ordinary family, even if it is a child of a family, naughty and nonsense, at best, it will ruin the family business, bankrupt the family, and bring shame to the family; But as a generation of emperors, if you don't know awe, if you really hold the power one day and do whatever you want, maybe you will face the destruction of the country and the destruction of the species.
When Emperor Wuzong was young, how could he not be smart and wise, both civil and military, and was appreciated by Gaozu? However, looking back, look back at the ridiculous things that Wu Zong did after middle age......
Thinking of this, Jing Yan couldn't help but shudder. Then Liu raised his eyebrows, and unceremoniously looked back at Yun Rui's eyes.
In just this one round, Yun Rui was defeated. Like a deflated ball, her small body is not as straight and straight as before, but nestled on the futon in a dejected manner, completely devoid of energy.
Although Jing Yan pitied her very much in his heart, he couldn't see anything on his face. Without saying a word, she turned around and went straight to the door of the temple with Bingbi and Shimo.
There was another "rumbling" of the door.
This time, Yun Rui didn't feel any "sense of mission as a descendant of the Yuwen clan", she only felt that her heart was being crushed by the "rumbling" sound, and the crumbs were scattered by the merciless wind.
Thinking that he was about to be the only "living person" left in this empty hall, Yun Rui felt as if he was wronged like something. As soon as the nose is sore, tears will burst out of the eyes.
Yun Rui bit his lip vigorously, raised his head to look at the intricate patterns on the top of the hall, and held back his tears to prevent them from pouring out.
The bag is crying! Soft eggs are so unproductive!
Jing Jiayue, a weak woman who was punished for kneeling before shedding tears!
Who am I? I am the prince of Da Zhou! The Son of Heaven of the Future! I don't want to cry! Don't be laughed at by the world!
Yun Rui gritted his teeth, looked at the carved ornaments on the top of his head, and secretly cheered himself up in his heart.
Her every move was clearly seen by Jing Yan through the small gaps in the window lattices of the main hall.
Jing Yan was slightly moved, and a sour feeling came up.
Bingbi was distressed, stepped forward, and said in a low voice: "Master, His Royal Highness Rui is still young......
Jing Yan took a deep breath and slowly spit out softly: "If the jade is not cut, it will not be ......."
Bingbi sighed secretly, not daring to persuade again.
Jing Yan seemed to have made a great determination, and instead of glancing at Yun Rui in the window lattice, he whispered to Bingbi and Shen Cheng: "You two are here to serve Your Highness." β
The two of them understood that Jing Yan was not worried about the little master in the palace, so they took care of it here. The master still cares about His Royal Highness Rui very much.
Immediately afterwards, Jing Yanhu said in a loud voice: "Shen Cheng, go back to Kuntai Palace!" β
The head of the inner court was as big as a fight. He has been in the palace for decades, how can he not understand the deep meaning of his master's words?
This is for the little ancestor in the temple......
Ouch, my master! You're pheating me! Didn't you let the old slave offend the future little emperor?
Shen Cheng secretly complained bitterly, but he was helpless, the county official might as well be in charge now! To do things under the queen's master, don't you have to do things according to her old man's ideas?
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and shouted: "The queen starts to drive Kuntai Palace!" β
Seeing the queen's guard of honor go farther and farther, Shen Cheng drooped the corners of his eyebrows, and stood back outside the palace gate dejectedly.
As Jing Yan expected-
Yun Rui knelt on the futon in the hall, although his heart was extremely uncomfortable, his ears were always up, listening intently to the movements outside the hall.
She was very worried that her sister-in-law would ignore her like this, which would make her feel at a loss.
However, a sister-in-law's voice suddenly came from outside the hall, saying that she wanted to go back to Kuntai Palace?
She just left herself and left?
Yun Rui didn't believe it, and immediately came Shen Cheng's shrill voice, and then from near to far, until the footsteps were too far to be heard clearly.
Yun Rui was stunned, and for the first time felt lonely in this empty forbidden palace.
She was at a loss, her nose was filled with the smell of sandalwood, and she no longer had the good smell of her sister-in-law.
Yun Rui was really worried, she couldn't care about being sad, and only asked herself in her heart: Am I really wrong? Otherwise, why would you make your sister-in-law so angry? She...... You must be angry, right?
Regardless of whether Yun Rui regrets it or not, just talk about Jing Yan.
She was uneasy in her heart, how could she ever be inferior to Yun Rui? Suddenly, all the way, there was a pitiful little face of Arrow, and suddenly Zhe stared at his face affectionately.
Punishing Arrow by himself, isn't it self-torture?
Jing Yan sighed secretly.
Rational but told her that for the child who jumped out, no matter how teachable, it would not be possible.
was so entangled, and he had already seen Kuntai Palace in the distance.
A familiar figure greeted him.
How did she get here?
Jing Yan frowned secretly.
Yu Jue greeted Jing Yan's shoulder and saluted: "Niangniang, let the slave maid be easy to find!" β
Jing Yan hurriedly owed a debt on his shoulder: "Aunt Yujue has something?" β
Yu Jue smiled slightly: "How dare a slave and maid work for a mother?" It's the queen mother, her old man, who came to find her mother with a slave and maid. β
Jing Yan said: "Queen Mother? β
In her memory, the Queen Mother never took the initiative to send someone to find her, let alone send Yu Jue, who was the first personal attendant around her? Can Jing Yanyan not wonder?
"Exactly! The Queen Mother invited her old man to Shoukang Palace, saying that she had important matters to discuss. β
Jing Yan hurriedly bowed down and said "yes", and said, "This palace knows." There is Aunt Lao Yujue. β
As soon as he stepped into Kuntai Palace, Jing Yan froze.
Empress Dowager Duan sat in the middle, and her complexion was much better than the day before yesterday. However, the man under her was thin, with a clear face, gray beard, and a spotless official robe of the first classβ
It's not Shangshu Zuo Servant who shoots Duan Yan Duan Zhiliang, who is it?
At the beginning of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it followed the old system of the previous dynasty to set up three provinces and six departments. However, several generations of emperors came down, especially in the Wuzong Dynasty, the imperial power was very concentrated, and the two provinces of Zhongshu and Menxia were almost in vain, and even the Shangshu Order of the Consul General was also empty for years because Wuzong was worried about endangering the imperial power, leaving only the two deputy governors of Shangshu Province - the left servant and the right servant to contain each other's power. Because the Great Zhou Dynasty respected the left, it was the same prime minister as the left servant of this Shangshu, and he was the head of the civil officials.
The brightness of this Yan Duan is also a good one. His ancestral home is Weizhou, and he is a son of the Duan clan in Weizhou. The Duan family is a Weizhou wang family, who started as a businessman in the previous dynasty and donated a petty official later. Both the government and businessmen can eat openly, and the family is flourishing day by day, and it has gradually become a big family in Weizhou. Tai|Ancestors started soldiers in the past, and most of them relied on the Duan clan to strategize, so they could be carefree and invincible. After the founding of the country, the ancestors were crowned heroes, and the head of the Duan family was crowned marquis. And this Weizhou Duan family is the mother family of the Empress Dowager Duan.
Duan Yan is not a descendant of the Duan family, just because his family is poor, he can only rely on the cold window to study hard to get into the office. He was a jinshi of the Wuzong Dynasty, and successively assisted the three emperors of Wuzong, Renzong and Yuwenzhe, and can be called the elder of the three dynasties. Because he was a two-term emperor and a prime minister, he seemed to be the head of all ministers.
Before Jing Yan could distinguish the situation in front of him, Duan Yan had already gotten up and saluted.
"Chen Duan Yan, see Niang Niang Chitose." bowed to the ground, and his tone was neither humble nor arrogant.
His age is enough to be Jing Yan's ancestor, and he is the brother of the Queen Mother, the elder of the Three Dynasties, how can Jing Yan be embarrassed to accept his gift for nothing?
"Lord Duan." Jing Yan owes himself.
Empress Dowager Duan lifted her eyelids, glanced at Jing Yan, and said lightly: "The queen is here?" Have a seat. β
Jing Yan thanked him.
Empress Dowager Duan turned to Duan Yan and said, "Zhiliang, the dynasty has been safe these days, right?" β
When Jing Yan heard this, he was stunned.
Duan Yan arched his hand and said respectfully: "The minister is fortunate to live up to the trust of the Queen Mother, the court is safe, and all political affairs are in order, and they have not lost their proportions." β
Empress Dowager Duan smiled comfortably, "That's good!" The country has suffered great changes, and it is good to finally have the blessing of the ancestors and the ancestors, and the transition is safe. β
As she spoke, she bowed slightly at Duan Yan: "Zhiliang, thank you for your hard work!" β
Duan Yan hurriedly got up and bowed: "This is the duty of the minister, and it is the trust of the Queen Mother, how dare you make a difference?" β
In Jing Yan's eyes, this scene is just like a well-rehearsed show.
Jing Yan's heart suddenly swelled with sadness-
She painstakingly asked her father to contact the ministers, and took great pains to approach the envoys of various festivals, such as Meng Zhaohui's subordinates, just to give the new emperor a stable guarantee for his accession to the throne. And her aunt, the queen mother-in-law, had already quietly secretly laid out chess pieces and controlled everything in the court in her own hands, and she didn't even tell herself about it until this moment.
Although, for the sake of the same Great Zhou Dynasty and the new emperor, he was excluded from decision-making like this, Jing Yan still faintly lacked the bitterness of "praying mantis catching cicadas, and yellow finches behind".
