Chapter 137 - Burning the Courtyard

The four city gates have not yet been opened, and the streets from the south gate of the palace to the Eagle Mansion are already full of people from the capital.

It's not that they want to join in the fun, after eighteen years, Jiuzhi accepted a concubine again.

Whether it is Jiuzhi himself or the official who is headed by the Ministry of Rites, they all want to make this concubine grand to the extreme.

Yesterday night, the people of the capital received the news that they must arrive on both sides of Shenghua Street early this morning.

Behind the people, there were also well-dressed Praetorian Guards.

The reason why they are said to be extraordinary, is because the military uniforms they are wearing at this time are gold-edged neckline, cuffs and hems.

As for the momentum, it's hard to put into words.

Crunch –

The south gate of the city slowly opened, and the palace maids and eunuchs dressed in festive red dresses, holding dizzying treasures, in the luxurious sedan chairs, or sitting on the emperor's relatives, or pretending to be a god that one person could not pick up, walked slowly towards the Eagle Mansion.

All taverns and inns in the city are hung with festive lanterns.

When the team arrived at the gate of the Eagle Mansion, the doors of the Eagle Mansion were opened, and a red carpet about four feet wide stretched from the inside of the house to the outside of the house, flanked by a young man and girl with a flower basket.

The housekeeper Hongyan stood at the gate of the compound, saw the royal team, and waved his hand.

Countless fireworks flew out all around, and at the same time, the sound of explosions made everyone feel that the capital was shaken.

The vocal music was full of joy, and the hazy mist came out from the bottom of the wall of the Eagle Mansion, and there was also fog gushing out from all corners of the Eagle Mansion and between the mountains and rivers.

The palanquin at the front of the royal procession stopped, and an old man stepped down and opened the golden silk cloth he was holding.

"The Eagle family receives the gift. ”

Hongyan led all the eagle family members to kneel, and the old man continued to recite the contents of the golden silk cloth.

"A thousand taels of gold. ”

After reading it, the tone of the old man with a righteous face and a non-Ah Ah was much soothed.

The people of the Eagle family, no matter what their faces were before, all showed surprise.

At this time, it was the gift of Nacai, and generally speaking, the queen's gold was two hundred taels.

Ying Xuemei got a thousand taels of gold at this time, plus last night Empress Lu lost power, and the position of the queen of the world was vacant, how could the Ying family not like it? !

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

Every time the old man recites a gift, the people of the Eagle family will first thank him, and then send someone to receive the gift.

As time passed, some of the eagle family members fainted with too much joy, and the form got out of control for a while.

The specifications of all the gifts in the back exceed the Queen's Gift.

The woman who can sit behind the queen is none other than Ying Xuemei.

According to etiquette, the royal procession that came to give gifts next should return to the palace to resume their lives, but the old man continued to recite unusually.

"It should be monitored by the sky on an auspicious day, and at the end of the day, the emperor specially ordered us to wait to welcome the Eagle Eagle Xuemei into the palace, and the ceremony was completed today. ”

Hongyan kowtows.

"Yes. ”

The old man entered the Eagle Mansion first, followed by an extremely luxurious phoenix sedan chair and ninety-nine young men and girls playing vocal music.

......

The sound of vocal music was on the other side of several city walls, and Ying Xuemei raised her hand and looked down at the red wedding dress on her body, her eyes were not sad or joyless, but confused.

I looked at this small courtyard that had been built according to all her requirements since she was sensible, and had recorded all her children's feelings and tossing and turning, and the confusion in her eyes was even thicker.

Turn away, waving your hand as you step out of the yard.

Several family members who had been waiting outside the courtyard for a long time were either holding buckets or torches, watching Ying Xuemei's gestures, but they didn't do it immediately, just looked at Ying Xuemei.

Ying Xuemei turned around, and her cold gaze swept over several people.

Several people no longer hesitated, and the one with the bucket splashed the liquid in the bucket around the courtyard, and threw the torch on the liquid.

Poof-

The flames burst up, turned into a fire dragon, and swallowed the courtyard in one bite, and Ying Xuemei and several family members had reached the corner of the city wall.

Gone, gone.

......

Ying Xuemei's treatment when she entered the palace this time was very different from yesterday.

The people who intercepted her yesterday have all disappeared, and the newcomers in exchange have all bowed down when they saw the sedan chair she was riding.

The sedan chair did not stop until it reached the red palace with the plaque above the door that read "Desire Immortal Palace".

"Eagle Family, Eagle Snow Plum has arrived. ”

A father-in-law standing at the gate of the palace shouted in their special shrill voice, this matter should have been done by Xie Anlu.

Ying Xuemei was helped out of the sedan chair by two palace maids and walked slowly towards the palace.

In the hall, Jiuzhi stood in the middle, dressed in the red groom's official clothes worn by ordinary people at weddings.

The blazing eyes reached their peak when they saw Ying Xuemei step into the palace.

On both sides of the palace, there are hundreds of civil and military officials who go to court every day. As old foxes, they will never miss this good opportunity.

"Congratulations to the emperor for finding a beautiful woman. ”

"After the Eagle Family's Ying Xuemei General Gate, the Taiwei did his best for Guangwu, and he should let Ying Xuemei be the mother of the world. ”

"It should be the mother of the eagle and the snow plum. ”

Jiuzhi looked at Gu Tiefang, who was the first to say that Ying Xuemei was the mother of the world, with great appreciation.

"The Gu family is strong and prosperous, and is willing to be separated by generations. Today, Gu Aiqing is even more worthy of the legacy of the ancestors of the Gu family, and spares no effort for the stability and prosperity of Guangwu. I look at Gu Aiqing when she is old and strong, old and strong, and the responsibility of the prime minister is none other than Gu Aiqing. ”

The other officials all looked up to the sky and sighed in their hearts, beating their chests and feet, and they were so late!

They saw the huge reward, felt sorry in their hearts, and knew that they had said it earlier.

But is it true that they didn't want to say it sooner?

Of course not.

Each of them can shout "Eagle Xuemei should be the mother of the world" before everyone can speak.

It's just that they dare to say it?

Although the Lu family lost power, even if the tiger fell into Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, they had to be a "dog"!

If you want to say that the people in the crowd can become the "dog", the only ones who are the former No. 2 person in the Lizhi Party - Gu Tiefang and Ma Ruyi, the leader of the Neutral Party.

At this time, many officials secretly swept over Ma Ruyi with various glances, only to see that Ma Ruyi's face was ordinary, and he did not look disappointed at all because he missed a great opportunity.

People who are close to Ma Ruyi or ordinary people sigh at his calmness.

Many officials who hated Ma Ruyi wantonly slandered him in their hearts for pretending.

They couldn't have imagined that under Ma Ruyi's calm appearance, it was not frustration, but anger!

Gu Youqian gave a courtesy, how could Gu Tiefang directly agree.

Bow down in fear, crying.

"Thank you, Lord Longen, it's just that although Weichen has more than enough strength, he is not enough. The minister's view of the imperial historian Ma Ruyi is more than 20 years older than the minister's youth, and the things he has been in charge of these years are similar to the duties of the prime minister, and the disposal is in an orderly manner, so that Guangwu has reduced a lot of unnecessary silver taels, so that the treasury is full, which is really a great achievement. ”

"And the Ma family is no less than my Gu family's efforts for Guangwu, and the minister thinks that Master Ma is more suitable for the position of prime minister. ”
