Chapter 54: Broken Reputation
Zhao Wenzheng is about to turn fifteen years old, and according to the regulations of the Chen royal family, the prince can get married when he is fourteen years old. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Due to last year's palace change, coupled with various matters of Chen Guoxia later, Zhao Wenzheng's marriage was delayed. Now that the biggest inner ghost cicada has been eliminated, the matter of choosing a concubine should also be put on the agenda.
"I see, Weichen congratulates the emperor." Yu Ruyan said with a light smile.
Zhao Wenzheng sighed lightly: "There's nothing to congratulate, it's just a routine." Go back first, and you must attend my wedding. ”
"Obey." Yu Ruyan withdrew from the East Warm Pavilion.
Looking at the back of Yu Ruyan leaving, a trace of coldness flashed in Zhao Wenzheng's eyes.
Xiao Muzi came in with tea, and Zhao Wenzheng coldly ordered: "Xiao Muzi, that matter can be done now." ”
"Yes, the minion will do it." Xiao Muzi went out in response.
"Scholar, don't hate me." Zhao Wenzheng muttered, "I did this for the sake of Chen Guo. ”
Emperor Chen chooses a concubine, and among the children and relatives of officials above the third rank of Chen Guo, who are at least 14 years old, have never been married, and have dignified appearances can all participate in the election. Local state capitals can also recommend women to run for election, but Zhao Wenzheng does not want to work the people and lose money, so the people do not choose, and only choose concubines among the women of official families.
After nearly 10 days of primary and secondary selection, 30 women met the criteria for candidacy.
Not long after Zhao Wenzheng first ascended the throne, it was no longer appropriate to choose concubines on a large scale, and if there were so many more people in the harem, the financial expenditure would also increase. Zhao Wenzheng thought about it again and again, and still selected six more outstanding candidates as concubines from the thirty women.
But the queen's throne, Zhao Wenzheng hesitated.
The opinion of the majority of the people in the DPRK and China is that they hope to establish Lin Qingqing, the granddaughter of the Duke of Huguo, as the queen. Lin Qingqing is dignified, knowledgeable, and has a prominent family background, so she is the best candidate for the queen.
In addition, Du Miaoyin, the daughter of Tobe Shangshu, is also a favorable contender for the position of queen. Du Miaoyin is beautiful and proficient in poetry, painting and piano skills, and is very famous among the celebrities in the capital.
But in Beijing, a staggering rumor gradually spread.
Regarding the queen's candidate, Zhao Wenzheng did not care about Lin Qingqing, nor did he care about Du Miaoyin, but hoped that the cabinet university Shiyu Ruyan would be the queen!
Rumors first circulated among the people, and gradually flowed into the DPRK and China. Because Zhao Wenzheng has not established the queen candidate for a long time, most people have believed in the original three-point faith, but now most people also believe in seven or eight points.
The rumors caused a lot of turmoil in the court, and even Yu Shi impeached Yu Ruyan in the court: "Scholars who read the books of sages should also know etiquette, righteousness and shame." Yu Gong, the scholar is a courtier, the emperor is the son of heaven, and the monarch is a minister. Yu Private, the scholar is the emperor's teacher, and the master and apprentice program are always there, how can he do such delusions? ”
Yu Ruyan retorted mercilessly: "The flow pill stops at the Ou Xuan, and the rumors stop at the wise." Credulous rumors, without evidence, why did Lord Goshi impeach me? ”
"Hmph, the university scholar is a woman, and the woman is an official is already inconsistent with the etiquette law, and it is still ......"
"What else?" Yu Ruyan interrupted him and said angrily, "You still don't know shame, are you delusional?" I didn't want to ...... this official."
"Enough!" Zhao Wenzheng shouted, "The women's name festival is the most important, and there is no basis for saying such a thing, and it will make people laugh when it is spread out!" ”
Another imperial historian impeached: "Your Majesty, the scholars of the university are crooked in virtue and are really unworthy of standing in the court." ”
"What did you say?" Yu Ruyan asked coldly.
"Scholar, your relationship with Tang Gongzi is known in the capital." Yu Shi said, "The man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried, and the two of them live in the same room every day, which is really shameless." ”
Yu Ruyan's willow eyebrows were upside down, and she wanted to have a seizure, but when she looked up and saw Zhao Wenzheng's gloomy face, she sneered at the moment and snorted: "Master Zhang can really see that others are black, but he can't see himself black." A few days ago, you went to the Qinglou and was caught by Mrs. Zun, and it was rumored that the streets were known, who didn't know etiquette, righteousness and shame? ”
"You ......"
"Don't you feel blushing when you say this?"
Yu Ruyan raised her eyebrows and asked, "What does Lord Wu mean?" ”
"Hmph, back then, a young woman of yours actually became my Chen Guo Taifu, and I don't know what ghost magic you used, a few years ago there were rumors in the capital that you and the first emperor were not clear."
Yu Ruyan raised her voice and shouted, "Bold! How dare you insult the first emperor? ”
Xiao Feiqing also defended Yu Ruyan and said: "Two adults, the first emperor worked hard to make the country prosperous, and the selection of good talents was eclectic. As a woman, the university scholar has made great contributions to my Chen Guoguo. When you say this, you can't help but be disrespectful to the emperor, and even more disrespectful to the emperor! ”
Zhao Wenzheng was a little impatient and shouted: "Shut up!" Retreat! ”
The unhappiness in the court was dispersed, and it spread to the people like a wolf and a tiger.
In the past few days, the people in the capital seem to have been hit by the plague, and they have described the affairs of Yu Ruyan and the emperor, the first emperor, and Tang Yunluo unpleasantly, and in just a few days, most of Yu Ruyan's reputation has been destroyed.
What's more, he threw eggs and vegetable leaves in front of the university scholar's mansion, and wrote evil words on the wall to attack Yu Ruyan. Even the Yunfu next door was also implicated, and Yu Ruyan had no choice but to take leave and not go to court.
Tang Yunluo's performance surprised Yu Ruyan very much, and she didn't seem to care about what outsiders said or made trouble at all.
"Yunluo, don't you really have any doubts at all?" Yu Ruyan couldn't hold back, and asked by taking the opportunity of playing chess with Tang Yun.
Tang Yunluo stared at the chessboard and asked, "What do you suspect?" ”
Yu Ruyan struggled for a while before she said: "Recently, there have been rumors in the capital about my crooked virtues, and I am afraid that everyone will be shining with gold and making Jun Sheng part......
Tang Yunluo interrupted: "You said it was a rumor, so what should you do with it." ”
"But you're also affected by me." Yu Ruyan said with some guilt.
Tang Yunluo sighed, put down the chess pieces, and looked at Yu Ruyan not very happily, until she lowered her head with a red face, and then said, "What is Lian Lian?" I wish you were a problem for me! When the autumn tiger was powerful, I didn't bother to go out, and I didn't want you to go out to the court under the big sun. Isn't it nice to be like this now, who can be more leisurely than us? ”
"If you don't drill the horns of the bull in trouble, people are also comfortable, and your heart is also comfortable; Since ancient times, everything is rare to come true, and good is also with fate, and Lai is also with fate. Tang Yunluo smiled, "Encourage your wife." ”
Yu Ruyan was amused, and the dark cloud that was pressed in her heart in an instant also dissipated. When she became a female official, she was criticized by the outside world. Why bother with those rumors now?
Xiao Feiqing, Yang Chuting, Chu Yang and others tried all kinds of ways to present their feelings in front of Zhao Wenzheng, hoping that Zhao Wenzheng would choose a concubine as soon as possible and clear her notoriety for Yu Ruyan. Zhao Wenzheng pressed for a few days before deciding that Lin Qingqing was the queen, Du Miaoyin was the virtuous concubine, and the other four people were Zhaoyi, Zhaorong, Jieyu, and Beauty according to the status of their mothers. Even if Zhao Wenzheng became a concubine, he still did not suppress the rumors in Beijing, but it was very noisy, and things became more and more fermented, and at this time, Yuruyan in Beijing could be said to be ruined.
Many ministers have written to impeach, hoping that Zhao Wenzheng will severely punish Yu Ruyan. Zhao Wenzheng dismissed it on the grounds that the big wedding was imminent and it was not appropriate to severely punish the meritorious heroes.
Emperor Chen married a concubine, and the whole country was immersed in the joy of the emperor's wedding. Although Zhao Wenzheng's wedding was hasty, it was also grand. It's a pity that Yu Ruyan didn't go to the palace to drink a glass of wine as agreed, but played chess with Tang Yunluo at home.
"Ru'er, today's emperor's wedding is also a big day, why don't we borrow this joy?" Tang Yunluo proposed.
Yu Ruyan tilted her head and asked, "How to borrow joy?" ”
Tang Yunluo took Yu Ruyan's hand, looked at her eyes seriously, and asked, "Ru'er, let me ask you, are you willing to marry me Tang Yunluo as his wife?" ”
Yu Ruyan was stunned for a moment, still blushing, turned her head sideways and nodded slightly.
Tang Yunluo smiled and said, "In that case, let's get married tonight." ”
"Marriage?" Yu Ruyan asked, "How to get married?" ”
Tang Yunluo looked out the window and said, "It's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon is like a silver plate, and there is a pot of hibiscus flowers in the courtyard that is about to bloom." It's better to use the moon as a witness and the flowers as a medium to set our marriage. When you resign, we will go back to Jincheng, and I will marry you back with three books and six ceremonies, and eight sedan chairs. ”
Yu Ruyan was moved in her heart, grabbed Tang Yunluo's hand, and said, "Okay, Yunluo, we use the moon as a witness and the flower as a medium." ”
Tang Yunluo took Yu Ruyan's hand, came to the courtyard, knelt down in front of the moonlight and said: "With the moon as a witness and flowers as a medium, I, Tang Yunluo, in this life and this life, I would like to join hands with Yu Ruyan alone, and get a wife like this, no longer extravagant." ”
Yu Ruyan also knelt down to the moon and swore an oath: "With the moon as a witness and flowers as a medium, my Yu Ruyan will only belong to Tang Yunluo in this life and this life." Never give up, rely on each other for a lifetime. ”
Tang Yunluo touched the bracelet on Yu Ruyan's wrist and said, "This is the treasure of the Tang Sect, and it is also the one I gave you at the beginning, so it should be regarded as a gift I gave you." ”
"Okay." Yu Ruyan said with a smile.
"Ru'er." Tang Yunluo helped Yu Ruyan to stand up, shook Yu Ruyan's hand, and said softly, "I want you to promise me one thing." ”
Yu Ruyan nodded and said, "You say." ”
Tang Yunluo glanced at Yu Ruyan deeply, bit his lip lightly, and then said, "Ru'er, believe me, I will never leave you." Even if I leave temporarily, please wait for me. I will definitely come back and be there for you. ”
