Chapter 522: After Ascending the Throne
The enthronement ceremony went on as usual.
The first emperor died, and the imperial city was still silent, and the enthronement ceremony clashed with its joys and sorrows, which made the imperial city quickly return to its former peace.
Under the calm surface of the imperial city, the new emperor in the palace ascended the throne, and the banquet of the ministers would be late at night, but in the imperial city outside the palace, there were more people walking on the streets today than before.
But on such a day, the soldiers who went out of the city gate complained that there were so many people today, and no one cared about these things anymore.
Dongfang Shuo, sitting closest to the new emperor.
At the banquet, Daohe's wine was served one after another.
All of them, not only congratulating the new emperor, but also almost all of them are more or less currying favor with Dongfang Shuo.
However, from the beginning of the banquet to the end, Dongfang Shuo was bored with wine and food, and even ignored those who talked to him, as if he was rejecting people thousands of miles away.
Similarly, this is also Yang Dongsheng's explanation to him.
Only by letting them put their hot faces on their cold buttocks can they sieve out as many people as possible who come up to please only because of the general trend.
After these two processes, those who are left are those who have no principles and will basically obey Dongfang Shuo.
"Lord Dongfang. ”
At this moment, a eunuch quietly came to Dongfang Shuo's side and called him in a low voice.
Dongfang Shuo held the wine glass in his hand, and his body leaned slightly towards the eunuch, but his head and eyes did not move much.
"Got it all figured out?"
Oriental Shuo Road.
"Yes. ”
The eunuch replied.
"Why is it so slow this time?"
"The rules in the palace are cumbersome, and the people in the palace are no better than the people outside the palace. ”
"And the result?"
"The list is here. ”
As he spoke, the eunuch handed over a piece of paper.
Dongfang Shuo took the paper, and after scanning it, he remembered all the names on it.
"Give it to Mr. Xu and let him do it. ”
Oriental Shuo Road.
The eunuch nodded, then withdrew the paper, and turned to leave.
"Wait a minute. ”
Dongfang Shuo suddenly turned his head and stopped him.
The eunuch immediately turned back.
"Make a copy of this list and present it to Your Majesty as soon as possible. ”
"Yes. ”
After the order was answered, the eunuch left.
So, Dongfang Shuo continued to drink by himself.
Until the sky was about to get dark and the lights in the palace were bright, Dongfang Shuo got up.
"Where is Dongfang Aiqing going?"
The new emperor suddenly spoke.
Dongfang Shuo looked at the original six princes, nodded slightly, and said: "There is a concubine in the family, I haven't seen him for many days, I miss it very much, today's banquet of His Majesty is afraid that it will be all night, I am afraid that the beauty will not be sad when I wait for me, so I want to accompany her." ”
"Ah, I see. ”
The new emperor smiled, "Heroes love beauties, it has been the same since ancient times, today is just a small banquet, you can go." ”
"Your Majesty is considerate. ”
Oriental Shuoton.
As soon as the words fell, he turned around and walked out of the hall under the gaze of the ministers.
And as soon as he stepped out of the main hall, his steps quickly quickened.
As he descended the stairs, a eunuch quietly approached him.
"Inform all the martial marquis to set up a formation according to the original arrangement. ”
Dongfang Shuo commanded.
The eunuch paused: "Yes." ”
In response, the eunuch staggered away from Dongfang Shuo.
Dongfang Shuo walked straight out of the palace gate and walked all the way in the direction of the east of the city.
The Drunken Immortal Residence is in the east of the Imperial City, while the Sima family's mansion is halfway from the Imperial Palace to the Drunken Immortal Residence.
At this moment, the door of Sima's house was closed, and although there were pedestrians on the road in front of the door, they were also in a hurry, and they didn't seem to dare to stay in front of Sima's house.
However, Dongfang Shuo was alone, standing outside Sima's house.
Looking at the plaque of Sima's house on the door, he couldn't help but squint.
"Big brother, who are you and why are you standing here?"
Suddenly, a little girl's voice appeared in Dongfang Shuo's ears.
He turned his head to look, just in time to see the innocent big eyes of the little girl next to him, blinking and looking at Dongfang Shuo.
"Come and find someone. ”
Oriental Shuo Road.
"Looking for someone from the Oriental Family?"
The little girl asked.
Dongfang Shuo looked at the gate of Sima's house, then nodded and said, "Yes." ”
"Then I'll take you in. The little girl laughed.
Dongfang Shuo was stunned: "You are from the Sima family?"
"Yes, my name is Sima Yuyin. ”
The little girl unsuspectingly reported to herself.
And Dongfang Shuo smiled slightly, and said, "My name is Dongfang Shuo." ”
"Dongfang Shuo, what a familiar name, I seem to have heard it somewhere, but I just can't remember it. The little girl seemed to be a little distressed.
Dongfang Shuo immediately stretched out his hand, touched her head and said, "If you can't think of it, don't think about it." ”
"Okay then, who is Brother Dongfang looking for?"
"Hmm...... I'm looking for Sima Changyun. ”
Sima Changyun ...... Ah, it's the patriarch's grandfather, right?"
"Yes. ”
"Grandpa the patriarch loves me, he treats me very well, he is very kind, let me take you to meet him." ”
The little girl smiled innocently, reached out and took Dongfang Shuo's hand, and rushed to Sima's house.
Dongfang Shuo followed behind, and he did not exclude it.
So, Sima Yuyin knocked on the door of Sima's house, and the family who opened the door saw that it was a young lady, and naturally he didn't dare to stop Dongfang Shuo, who was being pulled by the young lady.
And accompanied by Sima Yuyin, Dongfang Shuo also crossed the criss-crossing roads of the Sima family very smoothly, even if he met many people from the Sima family on the road, he didn't care about anyone.
As you go deeper and deeper, there are fewer people around.
It is less in the real sense, and in Dongfang Shuo's perception, there is not even an ambush.
As long as it wasn't for the power above the Three Chong Realm in the Refining Realm to deliberately hide the aura, Dongfang Shuo could easily detect it.
From this point of view, it can at least be determined that this little girl named Sima Yuyin is not the bait used by the Sima family to lure Dongfang Shuo into the trap.
"It's here. ”
Sima Yu said.
As soon as the words fell, she stepped up the steps, walked to the door, and knocked on it.
The general knocked twice, and the door opened.
Moreover, it was Sima Changyun who opened the door himself.
After opening the door, Sima Changyun saw Dongfang Shuo, but he was not surprised.
He bowed his head to Sima Yuyin and said, "Yin'er, go find your mother, I have something to talk about with this big brother." ”
"Okay. ”
Sima Yuyin replied obediently, waved goodbye to Dongfang Shuo, and then went in another direction along the corridor.
It wasn't until Sima Yuyin left that Sima Changyun opened the door wide and said to Dongfang Shuo: "Come in." ”
As soon as the words fell, he turned to enter.
"Did you expect me to come?"
Dongfang Shuo didn't move, but asked.
"During the day, there are more people on the streets than usual, but after all, something big has happened in the Imperial City, and it is not surprising that people from far away will come here. But you left the table suddenly, and that's when I felt that there was something wrong with it. ”
Dongfang Shuo narrowed his eyes: "I obviously told the emperor that I want to accompany my concubine, what's wrong?"
"There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that your house is empty, and you don't even have servants, so why do you love your concubine?"
