Chapter 340: Enthronement Ceremony II
Before dawn, hundreds of civil and military officials entered the palace.
Jiang Ce first went to the temple to worship the sky, and after the sacrifice, he needed to parade the streets to accept the people's kneeling and worship, and finally returned to the palace to be worshiped by the civil and military officials.
The new king succeeded to the throne, and Jiang Ce also had to give amnesty to the world.
Ji Yu always followed Jiang Ce, and when everything was over, it was already noon, which really tired her.
Ji Yu has been waiting for the civil and military officials to leave, and she has something to say to Jiang Ce.
Before the civil and military officials retreated, Ji Yu slowly stepped forward and looked at Jiang Ce who was about to speak.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Ce rushed in front of her and said, "Mr. is tired!"
"If you go back to the king, your subordinates are not tired, but your subordinates have something to tell the king. Ji Yu looked at Jiang Ce and said.
"In the evening, the widow will hold a banquet in the Xiyue Palace to entertain the ministers, and the gentleman will go back and rest first! Jiang Ce didn't wait for Ji Yu to say anything, he looked at Ji Yan's right hand raised slightly, and his face was full of doubt.
"No. Ji Yu slowly retreated.
In the past, Jiang Ce called himself a lonely, but now that he claims to be a widow, he can't tolerate her refutation.
Ji Yu thought about it, and it was okay to wait for the night banquet in front of the civil and military officials.
She had lived in the palace for days, but she had never seen what it was like.
Out of the Xuanwu Palace, Ji Yu walked aimlessly.
"Sir. Everyone she met came forward to salute her.
Jiang Ce succeeded to the throne, and now she is a hot upstart in Linzi, who doesn't want to cling.
As she walked, she walked to the Imperial Garden.
Spring is full of joy, and the imperial garden is full of purple and red, and there are many flowers that cannot be named.
Blooming flowers, she walked casually.
After walking for a moment, she glanced around and walked towards the gazebo not far away.
This time, she is afraid that she will never enter the palace again.
She sat alone in the gazebo, looking at the beauty of the imperial garden with a light breeze.
Suddenly, there was a sound of a small chatter behind the gazebo.
"Who?" Ji Wei turned her head to look back.
As soon as her voice fell, a rickety temple man walked out of the peony flower, and the temple man knelt down in panic, not daring to look at Ji Yu, and said tremblingly: "The Yaxing slave who disturbed the nobleman deserves death, and I hope that the nobleman will forgive the sin." ”
Ji Yu recognized him alone, this temple person was either someone else or Chu Ci.
In the past, Ji Yu hated Chu Ci the most.
Therefore, she refused to give Chu Ci a good time, and wanted him to live like an ant rather than die, and there was no dignity at all when he was trampled under everyone's feet.
"Look up. Ji Yu looked at Chu Ci casually, and now there was no superfluous emotion in her eyes.
I remember someone said that love is the only way to cure a person's hatred.
Now her heart has been filled with Gao Yin's love, and she can't let go of anything else.
"No. Chu Ci's body stiffened, he slowly raised his head, and saw that there was a young man with clear eyebrows sitting in the pavilion, he knew his identity immediately, and a little fire flashed in his eyes.
Ji Yu looked at him lightly, but now she didn't feel anything, no love or hatred, as if he was just a stranger.
"Xiao Chuzi meets Mr. Nameless. Chu Ci gave her a five-body bow.
"Do you know my identity?" Ji Yu looked at him and smiled.
"Who in the world doesn't know Mr. Nobody? Even though the slave is humble, he also knows the prestige of Mr. Chu Ci knelt on the ground, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Ji Yu more.
"Are you the gardener in this imperial garden?" Ji Yu asked slowly, she remembered that Chu Ci was cleaning the toilet in the palace, why did he come to the imperial garden to serve these flowers and plants, which was too cheap for him.
"The slave is in the miscellaneous room, and the gardener in the garden today has something to do, and the slave weeds the garden for him. Chu Ci said cautiously.
"Oh!" Ji Yu was relieved to learn that he was still in the chores, although she didn't hate him anymore, she never forgave him.
There are all nobles coming and going in this imperial garden, Chu Ci and good at observing words and feelings, and his heart of climbing power and wealth still does not change, Ji Yu does not want him to gain power one day.
"The slave knows where the best view of this imperial garden is, and if you want to enjoy the flowers, you might as well let the slave guide the way. Chu Ci looked at Ji Yu with flattery and said softly.
Ji Yu stood up, she slowly walked out of the pavilion, and walked slowly in front of Chu Ci.
Chu Ci knelt humbly at her feet, not daring to look up at her.
"No need. Ji Yu looked at him condescendingly.
After speaking, she turned her head to look at the guard on the side and said: "This slave is not pure-minded, and his eyes are flashing with the thief light is a villain, and he is not allowed to step out of the chores in the future." ”
Chu Ci was suddenly startled, just now he saw a glimmer of light, and now he was beaten into the bottomless abyss in an instant, with the nameless sentence, even if his heart is higher than the sky, he has never thought of accepting his fate, even if he falls into the dust, he is looking forward to a comeback, but there is no hope after that.
As long as he lives for one day, he will never come out.
"No. The guards on the side arched their hands and said, and the two people who came up dragged Chu Ci down.
Until this moment, Chu Ci didn't come back to his senses, he looked at Ji Yu in a daze, his eyes were full of puzzlement, he asked himself that he had never offended him, and Fang Cai didn't say a wrong word, why did he treat him like this?
Chu Ci never figured it out.
Jiang Ce has been sending people to secretly follow Ji Yu.
This matter soon reached Jiang Ce's ears.
"Ordered someone to find out the identity of the slave. Jiang Ce looked at the shadow guard with his eyes narrowed slightly and said.
Ji Wei lost her mood in an instant, she turned around and went back.
In the blink of an eye, it was night.
Tonight's palace is particularly lively, and the civil and military officials and their relatives have already arrived.
Jiang Ce also invited Gao Zhan and Gao Yin.
Now the boiling Gao Zhan and Gao Yin's father and son are out of harmony in Linzi City, Gao Yin is seriously ill, and Gao Zhan and the Borcan family have not visited.
Now that Gao Zhan has arrived, he has not seen Gao Yin, which seems to confirm the rumors invisibly.
In the past few days, it has been rumored in the palace that Ji Yu is a courtier, Ji Yu is very unhappy, she was going to rush to the banquet with Jiang Ce first, but she just came out of the side hall, and a temple person stepped forward to look at her and said: "The king has been prepared but I don't see Mr. Unknown, the special slave invites Mr. to come over." ”
"Yes. Ji Yu walked towards the main hall.
Sure enough, Jiang Ce was ready, he was wearing a crown and a black robe, the collar and cuffs were interspersed with gold threads embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns, and there was a domineering dragon entrenched on the whole robe, which was also woven with gold threads, and the emperor's bearing was unobstructed.
"See the King. Ji Yu hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.
Jiang Ce looked at him and smiled, and stretched out his right hand.
Ji Yu looked at Jiang Ce inexplicably.
Jiang Ce's right hand was on Ji Yan's wrist, looked at her and said, "Please go to the banquet with the widow." ”
"Your Majesty, this is not right. Ji Yu looked at Jiang Ce's hand on her wrist and frowned and said: "Now that the rumors are full of rumors, they have already suspected the relationship between the king and his subordinates, if it leads to misunderstanding again, the subordinates can't afford to tarnish the reputation of the king." ”
"It doesn't matter. Jiang Ce hooked his lips and looked at Ji Yu with a smile and said: "If one person dares to discuss, the widow will kill one person, if a hundred people are discussing, the widow will kill a hundred, and a thousand will slaughter a thousand." ”
His words were really domineering.
Ji Yu wanted to withdraw her wrist, but Jiang Ce refused to let go.
"The gentleman's courage is getting less and less now. Jiang Ce raised his eyebrows and glanced at her.
Without waiting for Ji Yu to speak, Jiang Ce pulled Ji Yu and left, and she couldn't refuse at all.
The Xiyue Palace is brightly lit, the silk and bamboo are bursting, the wine and meat are fragrant, and the civil and military officials are all talking and laughing.
Gao Yin still didn't come.
"The king has arrived. At that moment, the voice of the temple man rang out.
The huge Xiyue Palace fell silent in an instant.
Everyone turned their heads to look.
In front of everyone's eyes, Jiang Ce took Ji Yan's hand and walked slowly on the red carpet.
All stood up and bowed: "Salute the king." ”
Jiang Ce held Ji Yan's hand and walked slowly, everyone knelt at his feet, this is the taste of power.
Jiang Ce let go of Ji Yan's hand and slowly sat on the main seat, Ji Wei also knelt at his feet, he looked down at everyone, raised his right hand slightly and said slowly: "All the ministers are exempt." ”
"King Xie. Everyone said in unison, slowly getting up and retreating to their seats.
Jiang Ce swept over everyone one by one, his eyes fell on Gao Zhan and asked lightly, "Why didn't Gao Yin arrive?"
Gao Zhan stood up and prepared to reply.
Before he could speak, Jiang Ce continued: "But you don't give face to the widow?"
This sentence has a strong posture of inquiry.
"Look forward to the king. Gao Zhan gave Jiang Ce a bow to bow, he looked up at Jiang Ce and said: "The king's words are serious, and Ah Yin is seriously ill and still hopes that the king will forgive his sins." ”
"It's a shame he didn't come. Jiang Ce raised his right hand slightly to signal Gao Zhan to get up.
"Thank you, King. Gao Zhan slowly got up and retreated to his seat.
Ji Yu sat in the seat on the lower right of Jiang Ce, she glanced at the empty seat next to Gao Zhan without a trace, she didn't want him to come here to be humiliated by Jiang Ce.
"Let's start!" Jiang Ce looked at everyone and said lightly.
"Gao Yin arrived. Unexpectedly, at that time, Gao Yin appeared in the eyes of everyone.
All of a sudden, everyone looked up at Gao Yin.
Jiang Ce not only invited Gao Zhan and Gao Yin, but also invited Wang Lang and his relatives, and Wang Yan was naturally among them. She turned her head to look at Gao Yin with everyone's eyes, she looked at Gao Yin lightly, there was no trace of past infatuation in her eyes, only unforgettable hatred.
In the eyes of everyone, Gao Yin came slowly, and he was dressed in a dusty white clothes, which made his face more and more pale.
"Ahem, cough, cough ......" He couldn't control his cough a few times, walked in front of Jiang Ce in a few steps, lifted his robe and knelt down, he looked at Jiang Ce and said, "Gao Yin is not well, so he comes late and hopes that the king will forgive his sins." ”
Ji Yu glanced at him lightly and looked away, she was afraid that the thoughts in her heart would overflow uncontrollably.
Jiang Ce sat on the main seat, he looked at Gao Yin condescendingly and said lightly: "You are willing to come to give the widow face, how can the widow blame you!"
Without waiting for Gao Yin to speak, he raised his right hand slightly and said slowly, "Go back to your seat!"
"No. Gao Yin got up and retreated to his seat.
When he walked to Gao Zhan's side, Gao Yin bowed to him and did not speak.
Gao Zhan glanced at Gao Yin expressionlessly,
The father and son didn't even say a word, which was very intriguing, and the people present couldn't help but take a closer look.
