Chapter 55: The Temple Music Controversy

55. The controversy over temple music

On this day's court meeting, Wei Ling stood outside the Xuanshu Hall as usual and waited for Emperor Liu Xun's questioning, as a general of Wuwei, he was not qualified to enter the Xuanshu Hall to participate in the court meeting, so he had been standing outside the gate of the Xuanshu Hall for a long time, listening to the emperor and the ministers in the palace discussing political affairs.

There are not many political affairs today, but the atmosphere in the Xuanshu Hall is not very good, Liu Xun looked at Xiahou Sheng kneeling below with an angry face, and he didn't know what Xiahou Sheng said, which made Liu Xun angry.

"The minister thinks that although Emperor Wu has the merit of conquering the vast land of Siyi, it is not suitable to build a temple, the emperor is still short on boarding, and when the state affairs are the priority, the temple music can be postponed!"

The reason why Liu Xun wants to build a temple for Emperor Wu, in addition to singing praises of virtue, the most important thing is to want to be right for himself, as the grandson of Emperor Wu, it is natural to inherit the throne, and what he hates most is that his childhood experiences are always praised, which is undoubtedly the reverse scale that he most does not want people to mention, so he hopes to declare his status through guò to Emperor Wu's temple music, and it can highlight that he is the royal orthodoxy.

It's a pity that Xiahou Sheng didn't understand these, so except for him, all the people in the Manchu Dynasty agreed with Liu Xun's suggestion, and even Huo Guang stood in the first place and didn't say a word, but this Xiahou Sheng was a dead brain, and he had been a Changxin Shaofu for so many years in vain, but he was still so old-fashioned.

Wei Ling stood at the end of the group of ministers and watched, and he didn't know what Liu Xun thought, so he suddenly called his name, as if he also wanted to hear his opinion.

"Does General Wei have any opinions on the matter of temple music?" Wei Ling looked around left and right before realizing that the emperor was talking about himself, so he straightened out the court clothes on his body, and respectfully walked to the center of the hall and knelt down.

"Wei Chen thinks that what His Majesty said is very true! His Majesty is the great-grandson of Emperor Wu, and he belongs to the lineage, and it is appropriate to set up a temple for Emperor Wu, but His Majesty has just ascended the throne, and everything is waiting to be revived. Your Majesty can give amnesty to the world, so that all the people can feel the benevolence and filial piety of Your Majesty! ”

Liu Xun was still sitting on the dragon chair with an expressionless face, but looking at Wei Ling's eyes with relief, anyone could see that the emperor relied on Wei Ling quite a lot.

"The ministers all agree with General Wei's statement, His Majesty is the grandson of Emperor Wu, and the name of the temple is justified, and His Majesty should announce it to the world, so that Emperor Wu's heroic spirit can be admired by the world!" If you want to talk about slapping horses, no one can compare to Prime Minister Cai Yi, this guy's best thing is to speculate on the emperor's thoughts, Emperor Zhao's reign, he is quite relied on, and now that Emperor Xuan is on the throne, he can still be comfortable in the court.

It can be seen that this person's city is very deep, but Cai Yi and Huo Guang have never been on the same page, so there are always some fights in the open and in the dark, Huo Guang has never looked at Cai Yi in his eyes, especially when he sees his villain behavior, he looks down on him even more.

However, no matter how Huo Guang doesn't get used to it, Cai Yi is still the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, so even if the two of them are not on the right track, when they really encounter something, no one will play petty and miss state affairs.

Therefore, for the temple music, Huo Guangzhi felt that it was dispensable, and it was beneficial to the emperor if he was established, and he could not erase the merits of Emperor Wu if he did not stand up, so Huo Guang chose to watch coldly.

But today made Huo Guang a little impressed by Wei Ling, a small general of Wuwei, who did not change his face when discussing politics in front of the emperor, and spoke in an orderly and measured manner, but he stood in Huo Guang's eyes.

Above the court, Xiahou Sheng and Shi Huangba, another prime minister who opposed the establishment of the temple, were sent to prison by the emperor, and they were not accused of "great rebellion", but I am afraid that they can only stay in prison in a short time.

Since ancient times, the king is like a tiger, this is the truth, one moment he was still a minister, and the next moment he became a prisoner, how can it not be embarrassing.

The next is that the Ministry of Rites began to draw up the edict, the temple number of Emperor Wu is Sejong Temple, and the dance music of "Shengde", "Wenshi" and "Five Elements" is played in the temple, and the 49 counties and countries that Emperor Wu toured during his lifetime have established Sejong Temple, which is admired by all the people! Emperor Liu Xun was quite satisfied with the plan drawn up by the Ministry of Rites, and he was happy and generously rewarded the adult men who worshiped the temple, and Cai Yi echoed Liu Xun softly throughout the whole process, with a flattering smile on his face, and Wei Ling almost didn't vomit when he saw it.

In the next dynasty, Wei Ling rode back to the general's mansion, Huo Mei was still recuperating in the study, he was not at ease, so he didn't go to the barracks for a while, and when he returned to the general's mansion and just walked into the study, he felt that something was not right, and when he opened the door, he didn't even have a figure, and he was a little panicked.

"Where did the young lady go?"

Baili Jun appeared from the shadows, looked at Wei Ling's dark face, and stopped talking, "The young lady went out with the old lady and Miss Biao, saying that there was a chrysanthemum banquet in the prime minister's mansion today, and the old lady must let the young lady go to the banquet with her, and the young lady couldn't refuse, so she took Xiaohong with her!" ”

"Since she's gone, why don't you follow?"

"The subordinates went to the Prime Minister's Mansion with the young lady, and when they saw that the young lady was fine, they hurried back to call the general!" Baili Jun has never been as wolf as he is today, not to mention running at both ends, this will be stabbed by the fierce aura on Wei Ling's body, and his back is full of cold sweat.

"Come with me to the Prime Minister's Mansion! The arrow wound is still running around, see how I will clean up this woman who doesn't know whether to live or die in a while! After speaking, Wei Ling had already used his light skills and rushed towards the direction of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The post of the chrysanthemum banquet was sent to the general's mansion before Huo Mei was injured, Mrs. Wei took the post and didn't pay much attention to it, such a banquet often occurs in Chang'an City, saying that it is a chrysanthemum banquet, in fact, it is mostly a blind date banquet, most of them are the princes and grandsons of each family, with the daughters of each family, nothing to compare the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, if the man meets the woman he likes, he will discuss with his parents when he returns to the house to let the matchmaker come to the door to propose, and the woman comes to such a banquet, most of them want to find a wishful husband.

However, these really mean nothing to Huo Mei, not to mention that she is married, even if she is not married, she will not participate in these boring banquets. But Mrs. Wei came to the study today and lectured Huo Mei sharply, and then she had to ask Huo Mei to accompany her to the chrysanthemum banquet, Huo Mei didn't want to pay attention to it, but Liu Yuner kept adding oil and vinegar on the side, and Huo Mei became interested.

These two people spared no effort to pull themselves to the banquet, I am afraid that they are really drunkards who don't mean to drink, thinking of this, Huo Mei took Xiaohong and followed Mrs. Wei out of the house.

There are two carriages parked at the gate of the General's Mansion, one is the car that Mrs. Wei often sits in when she goes out, and the other side is a brand-new carriage, the carriage of the carriage is wrapped in colorful silk, and the gray horses of Mrs. Wei are different, the horses used to pull the carriage in the colorful carriage are two good horses of jujube, which are carefully selected at a glance.

Liu Yun'er liked it as soon as she saw the carriage, and happily walked to the horse and prepared to go up, but was blocked by a black mist, of course, this black mist is naturally a hundred miles of horses.
