Chapter 8: Marriage (2)

The ministers entered the Taihe Hall one after another, and stood in the order of the right and the left. On the dragon chair sits the most noble emperor of the Northern Yan Dynasty - Helan Jingheng.

He opened his mouth slightly, and his thick magnetic voice overflowed: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am in a good mood today, do you know why?"

The ministers bowed their backs slightly and replied in unison: "The ministers don't know. ”

"The war in the northwest has been won, and the harvest year in Jiangbei and Jiangnan is celebrated." Helan Jingheng slightly hooked the corners of his lips.

"Congratulations to the emperor, meritorious service." The hundred officials knelt down, and the uniform voice showed the reverence of the Northern Yan Dynasty for the emperor.

"Get up, I still have some happy things to tell you."

"Your Majesty." The hundred officials hurriedly got up and tidied up, and then stood respectfully.

"These two happy events, presumably all Aiqing will be happy." Helan Jingheng paused, and glanced at Gu Suqiu and Cui Zhen successively. The ministers were naturally human spirits, and hurriedly thanked the two families.

Helan Jingheng coughed slightly, and the court immediately quieted down. He continued: "I have done two good things on my own. The first is to marry Cui Aiqing's beloved daughter and He Aiqing's beloved son, and the second is to marry the little princess of the old prince's family in Gusu for my useless imperial brother Jing Rui. ”

Gu Su Qiu immediately knelt down and said, "Weichen is panicked. ”

Helan Jingheng waved his hand, as if he was happy: "Gusu Aiqing, please get up, fortunately I ask the little county lord to marry, if you choose a noble girl at random, my imperial grandmother will be unjust." ”

Cui Zhen, who was beside him, saw Gu Su Qiu get up, and hurriedly took a hand, and Gu Su Qiu nodded at him after getting up. Then he turned to the emperor and said, "Thank you, Lord Longen." ”

Helan Jingheng said with a pleasant face: "Zhong Aiqing, do you still have something to play?" If you have nothing to do, you will retreat. ”

All the ministers prostrated at the feet of the Son of Heaven and said loudly: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live." ”

After retiring from the dynasty, everyone said hello to Gusu and Cui Zhen. The two also thanked each other one by one, and verbally invited everyone to drink the wedding wine.

"Can the prince of Gusu go with Weichen?" Cui Zhen asked.

"Thank you, Lord Cui, but this king still has to go to see his daughter and talk to her, so that she can be relieved to get married." Gu Su replied.

"This is natural, then Weichen retired first." After Cui Zhen said goodbye, he walked towards the palace gate.

As soon as Cui Zhen left, a eunuch immediately came to pick up Gu Suqiu and walked in the direction of the harem.

"Hey, Lord Wang, you said that the two marriages that the emperor is in charge of today, what is the deep meaning in it."

Lord Wang, who was asked, hurriedly covered Lord Li's mouth and shouted in a low voice: "You are stunned, you are speculating about the Holy Will to lose your head, stop talking!"

The two looked back and forth, and found that no one was too close to them, so they breathed a sigh of relief. Lord Wang lowered his voice and said: "The old prince of Gusu is a prince with a different surname, if it wasn't for the founding of the Northern Yan Dynasty and his betrayal of the previous dynasty, where would he get the honor of a prince with a different surname." ”

Lord Li also lowered his voice and said: "The royal family still favors the old prince of Gusu, otherwise how could he marry the seventh prince of the royal family." ”

"What's the pampering, how can the dragon collapse allow others to sleep soundly! Don't you look at the Gusu family being so favored in front of the saint, if the royal family is really relieved, how can they send their concubines to the palace to give birth? It sounds good that the lord of the palace is more glorious, but who doesn't know that it is the hostage of the Gusu family. How could the Gusu family not be allowed to leave Beijing and go to their own fiefdom?" Lord Wang carefully analyzed the Dao.

"Then why did you marry the Seven Kings who were far away in Cangzhou, so didn't you let the tiger leave the mountain?" Master Li said carefully.

"That's where the identity of the Seven Kings is placed, no matter which high-ranking official chooses a noble girl from is a great help to the Seven Kings. If so, it is better to marry a famous county lord to the Seven Kings, so that there is face in the table. Besides, what are the puppets afraid of?" Lord Wang whispered.

"Lord Wang, I see it, I see it." Master Li touted.

"You be quiet, get out of the palace quickly, I'm always flustered when I say this." Lord Wang said nervously.

"Oh, my stomach is getting ruffled, no, I'm going to the toilet! Lord Wang took the lead. Lord Li hurriedly ran away holding his stomach, and Lord Wang secretly scolded a fool, and then Shi Shiran left.

In the imperial study, Helan Jingheng stood with his hands behind his back.

And Lord Li, who lied about being in a panic just now, straightened his waist and stood behind Cangheng, and after the report, he said softly: "As the emperor expected, all the adults have different hearts and have a lot of discussions. ”

"Well, the grievances are like the wind to find out these unspeakable secrets for me." Helan Jingheng turned around and sat down with Li Rufeng. Then he said: "If the wind is like the wind, you will be able to know the so-called deep meaning of me." ”

Li Rufeng smiled slightly, and said loudly: "It makes sense for the emperor to marry the county lord and the seven kings, Rufeng is not like other adults. ”

"Rufeng is really different from others, since Rufeng doesn't want to guess. Then I will speak to you...... Gusu, the old fox, has been secretly trying to move, he thought I didn't know, but in fact, I just didn't care about his painless little actions. I originally thought that he would ask for the concubine position of the four kings, after all, the current power position of the fourth child was more in line with his ambitions. Somehow, the lord of Modye said that the old fox was re-elected as the seventh, and he also went to the emperor's grandmother to ask for permission. Helan Jingheng said slowly.

"The Lord of the Ink-dyed County is a wonderful person." Li Rufeng praised.

Cangheng thought of the beautiful woman and shook his head and smiled: "It is indeed a rare person." ”

"The seventh prince is more troublesome to the emperor than the fourth prince." Li Rufeng said truthfully.

Emperor Cangheng looked at Li Rufeng, and there was a majesty between his eyebrows. smiled and said: "If the wind is really temperamental, count it, Lao Qi is a lurking wolf." ”

"Then the emperor is still so laissez-faire?"

Helan Jingheng squinted his eyes and laughed: "Rufeng, don't you know that my seventh brother is very interesting, since he was a child, he has been favored by his father since he was a child, and he grew up with the former Su Xiang." It can be said that he is my strong enemy, but he is very fond of Miss Song Si, who is a rebel and thief, and I want to marry this time, I want to see if the Seven Kings will disobey for the sake of affection. ”

"But guess what, like the wind, he obediently agreed. This is really a surprise to me, I know that there are many people who slander the throne, and I do this to see what waves they can make. ”

"The emperor is really bold." Li Rufeng stood up and said solemnly.

"If I get the help of the wind, my world will be more secure." Helan Jingheng also has a sense of sympathy.

After Li Rufeng left, Helan Jingheng sat in front of the bookcase, closing his eyes and recuperating. Suddenly frowned, the person who pinched Helan Jingheng's back and shoulders seemed to feel Helan Jingheng's discomfort, and hurriedly lightened his strength, and said without yin or yang: "The slave should die, it hurt the emperor." ”

"It's okay, what does Xiaofuzi think of Li Rufeng?" Helan Jingheng asked out loud.

"Master Li is brilliant and has a bold temperament, if he can be used by the emperor, it will naturally be the gospel of the Northern Yan Dynasty." Fu Gonggong flattered.

"Hmm."

"It's just that the old slave doesn't know whether to talk about it or not." Gonggong Fu asked cautiously.

"Say."

"If Master Li is so good, why doesn't the emperor appoint him as prime minister." Father-in-law Fu confided what he thought.

"Fu'an, you deserve to die." Helan Jingheng suddenly became embarrassed.

Father-in-law Fu hurriedly knelt down, knelt from the back to the front, raised a dusty white face, hit himself with his hand, and said that the slave deserved to die, and the slave deserved to die.

Helan Jingheng turned his wrench and said indifferently: "Okay, you don't have to make this appearance in front of me." ”

Gonggong Fu replied in a trembling voice: "Emperor Xie spared the life of the slave, and it was the slave who talked a lot about the government. ”

"I only made the prime minister two months ago, and my prime minister is called Jun Mubai." Helan Jingheng looked at Father-in-law Fu with a strange smile.

"Yes, yes, the emperor has a high opinion." Fu Gonggong flattered.

"Fu'an, I found that you have been becoming more and more perfunctory recently, and I haven't said anything yet, so you flattered me?" Helan Jingheng said in a low and elongated voice.

"The slave doesn't dare, the slave knows that the emperor has his own plans, and the slave doesn't dare to speculate." A drop of cold sweat dripped from the sideburns of Fu Gonggong.

"Are you afraid of me?" Helan Jingheng looked at the cold sweat falling from Gonggong Fu.

"Long live Lord, don't tease Xiaofuzi anymore, our family sees that he is about to pee his pants." Walking into the royal study, the lotus prince is fair.
