In the early morning of the 26th, the morning sun shot the first rays of sunlight, and the entire Chao'an City was immersed in a red sea of firecrackers, the gongs and drums on the street had been beaten, and the song and dance of Caifang had begun. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the Taihe Hall of the Hao'an Palace, Emperor Xuan's Yunjin golden dragon robe shines under the sunlight, and every strand of gold thread shines. The young emperor's waist was straight, his long eyebrows were cut like a knife, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and his eyes were as cold as a cold pool in the middle of the night, looking down on everything under his feet.

Today is his Halloween Day, which is celebrated by the whole world and jubilant, and it is the most solemn and busiest day. He got up at the end of the day, bathed and changed clothes, the queen prepared a bowl of shark fin soup for him, he hurriedly ate a few bites, Wang Huaide said that the ministers were already waiting in front of the palace, and the envoys of various countries were already on the way, and asked him to go to the Taihe Hall to receive congratulations.

This world's supreme golden throne, he has been sitting on it for eight years, although from the moment he remembers, his father told him to hand over the splendid rivers and mountains to him, but the process is still full of hardships and obstacles, the father said that this is the mission, the hands of every heir to the throne are destined to be stained with blood, with the lives of countless people as a sacrifice, in order to finally achieve hegemony. He still remembers the vivid faces that died under his hands, and he is even more determined to protect his imperial hegemony. He married each of his royal sisters as a tool of profit, but left his only two royal brothers to live in the capital, of course, he believed that he had the ability to control all this, and he believed that keeping them under his nose would make him feel more at ease.

As the drums sounded, the princes and officials came to him one after another, offering words of blessing, wine and nectar, and various gifts, and he showed his trademark smile and gave them different rewards according to their rank. Empress Lu Yingying was beside him, with a trace of tiredness in the corners of her eyes, but she still straightened up, smiling and accepting the congratulations of the ministers with him.

At that time, when the envoys of various countries entered the palace to meet them, the strange thing was that when the hour came, no one from the envoys appeared. A little eunuch hurriedly ran to Wang Huaide and whispered a few words to him, Wang Huaide's face changed abruptly, and he said to Emperor Xuan: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the envoys are in trouble, and they haven't arrived at Dongxuanmen yet." ”

Emperor Xuan said in a deep voice: "Send someone to see what's going on." ”

Wang Huaide responded and left the Taihe Hall in a hurry. The courtiers below also felt that something was wrong at this time, and they all talked softly one after another. Shen Congyun stood among the ministers, his heart was like a heavy boulder, finally something happened, Xuan'er, I just hope you can protect yourself!

About another cup of tea, I saw Wang Huaide trotting all the way back, followed by a stumbling guard, as soon as he arrived in front of the palace, he knelt down with a snap, panting and said to Emperor Xuan: "Minister, the minister is Ma Zhongping, the deputy captain of the palace guards, as the security guard of the embassy of the Quartet Pavilion, enlightening the emperor, the envoy has an accident!" ”

"What's the matter? Say it! Emperor Xuan urged urgently.

"The envoys and other guards originally set off from the post house at three o'clock, but before leaving, they found that they could not see the whereabouts of General Shen, and then, and then ...... "Ma Zhongping was hesitant, obviously feeling inconvenient to say it directly in the main hall.

Emperor Xuan was already angry and roared: "Then what's the matter? ”

Seeing that the emperor was angry, Ma Zhongping had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Then the envoys of the Yi Kingdom found out that there was an accident, General Shen rested at Princess Kerou's residence last night and last night, so the departure time was delayed. ”

Ma Zhongping said very tactfully, but everyone understood, Shen Ningxuan took the opportunity of guarding the envoy group to have an affair with Princess Kerou and gave the emperor a big green hat. Shen Congyun's body trembled, his eyes darkened, and a chill kept rising from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, it turned out that this was their conspiracy. Xuan'er, the Shen family, can't escape this time.

Emperor Xuan was furious, so angry that he picked up the wine jug that was about to be rewarded to the envoys from the little eunuch next to him and smashed it at Ma Zhongping: "Bastard, what a bold!" ”

Ma Zhongping knew that the emperor was not scolding him, but the wine jug smashed at him, and the emperor was angry, so he didn't dare to hide, so he could only suffer the thunder and anger, splashing all over his face with wine.

After Emperor Xuan finished venting, he gritted his teeth and asked, "What about Shen Ningxuan?" And the princess of the Yi country? ”

Ma Zhongping glanced at the emperor and replied cautiously: "General Shen, no, Shen Ningxuan has been imprisoned, but, Princess Kerou has already committed suicide in fear of crime!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar, Shen Congyun's last hope was disappointed, there was no proof of death, and the other party attacked, it was really accurate and ruthless, leaving no chance.

"Where is the Yi Kingdom Envoy now?" Emperor Xuan stared at Ma Zhongping.

"Back to the emperor, the Yiguo envoys were still in the post house, and they said that when this happened, they had no face to see His Majesty, and only let people send congratulatory gifts into the palace. The other envoys are already on their way to Haga, and should be there soon. Ma Zhongping reported.

Sure enough, a little eunuch immediately came to report that the envoy group had arrived at Dongxuanmen and immediately met His Majesty.

Although it happened suddenly, the ceremony that should be completed still has to be completed, after all, it is related to diplomatic relations and face, Emperor Xuan forcibly suppressed the monstrous anger in his heart, and responded in a hoarse voice: "Put Shen Ningxuan in the prison, and continue to congratulate." ”

Shen Congyun stood for a day, looking up countless times, and seeing Emperor Xuan's gloomy face countless times. His heart was so anxious that he couldn't rush out of the prison to find his son and ask him what had happened, and he couldn't fly to the Sifang Post House immediately to find any clues that might have been left. He believed that his son was innocent, but he didn't know which side he didn't know, and it could be a trap set by many parties. But he can only stay here, stay in the palace of Ho'an, where singing and dancing, and watch the biting cold air when the emperor sweeps over from time to time. The ministers who were close to him on weekdays were far away from him at the moment, and some of them had mocking smiles on the corners of their mouths, as if they were waiting to see his disaster and the disaster of the Shen family. He doesn't care about any of this, he only cares about his son, Ning Xuan, can't be fine!

For example, if the concubine is in the Dexi Palace, according to the regulations, the emperor will accept the congratulations of the ministers and countries during the day, and will set up a family banquet at night to accept the birthday congratulations of the young princes and the harem concubines. Su Yue and Qiu Jing were choosing clothes, arguing over whether she should wear the new blue clothes sent by the Shangfu Bureau or the lotus lotus new clothes at night, she pursed her lips and smiled, the emperor said that she looked particularly good in pink, so he said to the two of them, just the lotus lotus color, and ended the bickering between the two.

Qiu Jing happily took her clothes to incense, and Su Yue came over to discuss with her what hairstyle to comb at night and which set of hair and face jewelry to wear. At the celebration banquet when her father returned from the Northern Expedition, she once wore a set of ruby heads rewarded by the emperor, which was brilliant and bright, and the emperor praised her beauty again and again, and she also felt that the red festive and warm was like it had been warm to her heart.
