0358 Filial piety to the heir, knighthood and acting king
After laughing for a while, Wu Zetian waved his hand and said, "The clumsy pen in the door is rare, it is rare for Di Qing to be so excited!" β
"ThisβThis is ......"
Hearing the words of several people in the hall, Di Renjie's face naturally showed a suspicious look, and at the same time, he also had a guess in his heart: "Could it be Xunqing Chen Ce?" β
"It was that kid who was conceited and weak, boasted about state affairs, and skillfully entered the eyes of the secretaries, which fueled his arrogance."
Wu Zetian replied with a smile again, looking like an ordinary old woman boasting about the talents of her children and grandchildren.
The corners of Di Renjie's mouth curled, and his smile was a little dry. This is not the first time he has experienced a similar scene, and it seems that there was such a time in the old years. But what he saw that time was only a scroll of poetry related to talent, and it was still named someone else, but now it has been changed to a strategy to help the world, and in his opinion, it is indeed remarkable.
Di Renjie has forgotten the old scenes, but now that he is in a similar scene, the slightly old and rough pictures in his memory have become vivid again, and even his thoughts at the time have come back.
He was silent, put the copy on the bookcase, and subconsciously turned to look at Li Zhaode, who was also in the hall, but Li Zhaode did not respond to his look, just sat in the seat and looked at the utensils on the case. Each other's personalities and backgrounds are different, and he and Li Zhaode don't have much intersection, but Li Zhaode's avoidance of his gaze at this time makes him feel even more heavy.
After a slight change of thought, he said again: "Yesterday, the minister returned to the capital, and the old friends greeted him in Luopu, which coincided with Xunqing's farewell to the king of Guanghan, and wrote a new lyrical ......."
As he spoke, he told all about yesterday's events, including Li Tong's new poems.
Wu Zetian also listened carefully, and sang this new poem, sighing: "Shen is full of fun and beauty, more than one or two deeds. He is still not yet at the age of crown, but he has already enjoyed a reputation that is difficult for the world to achieve in his life. As a parent, he is really happy and worried, hoping that he can show off his peers, and wants to teach him that he should be wise and mediocre, so as not to be divorced and slandered, and it is a little difficult to choose. β
After hearing this, Di Renjie smiled and said: "Your Majesty is benevolent and loves Jiayou, this heart is self-examining, compared to the people of the world, who doesn't love the handsome talents of magnificent and magnificent weapons?" Convergence and mediocrity, this is not a problem that ordinary people can have. Xunqing is not from an ordinary family background, and if he wants to seek perfection from mediocrity, it will hurt his strength. β
"Di Gongcheng is a good word, suffering from gains and losses, but I am disturbing myself. There is no need to say much about small things, today is still dedicated to congratulating Di Qing on his return to the court. β
Wu Zetian nodded after hearing this, not ready to continue this topic.
However, Di Renjie continued: "Your Majesty's love is profound, and he also feels grateful for his ministers. The beauty I saw, although slightly flawed, was heart-wrenching, this person's common feelings. But fortunately, it can be remedied by manpower, and the dust is lightly dusted, which is not what everyone expected. β
Hearing this, Wu Zetian thought about it, but the other two prime ministers at the table all raised their heads and frowned at Di Renjie.
Although it is said that the Zhou calendar puts the first month and the wax moon together, the folk custom of wax moon worship is not something that can be changed overnight.
However, this is not a difficult thing for the imperial court, after all, the empress has countless gods along the way, although the first month has held a big ceremony to sacrifice to the heavens and the ancestors of the Zhou Dynasty, but after arriving in the moon, there are still a lot of related rituals, and the suburbs worship the five emperors and gods, five mountains and four blasphemy, especially Luoshui and Zhongyue.
In addition to ghosts and gods, there are also sages who are also among them, such as Kong Xuanfu, Jiang Taigong, King Wucheng and the like. Although the ceremonies are not concentrated at one time, most of them are also gathered in the lunar month.
Although Li Tong's Yunshao Mansion envoy is not a formal ceremonial official, he must have fun if he is polite, so he has a very fulfilling life throughout Layue.
Especially seeing the dense array of ceremonial music sent by the officials of Yuefu, he can only sigh that his grandmother's etiquette is really good, and the ghosts and gods all over the world, especially those unpopular gods, have survived to Wu Zhou, and they can be regarded as being able to live a full year.
Of course, in addition to assigning musicians to these large and small ceremonies, Li Tong has also been paying attention to whether there is a canonization etiquette that has been inserted. If there is, then eight or nine is not far from ten, then it should be him.
Although his grandmother didn't often see him during this time, every time they met, the atmosphere was also very warm and harmonious, so warm that he almost gave up his dream and turned into a loyal minister of the Great Zhou.
If you want to add a burden to him, the biggest chance is the situation before and after this year, and when the prince is restored, he can go out and show off on the street when he turns into the Shangyuan Festival in January. He even planned to go to his aunt's house in Shangshanfang as a guest, and specially set up a color stage outside Wu Sansi's house to sing a big opera, so that this old boy has a cheap mouth, and he has to show off your face!
But it's a pity that until Layue was about to take annual vacation, he didn't hear any discussion about the canonization in the court.
In the second half of the month, the morning sun, in the court hundreds of officials into the spring of the court, and then to lock the ya, in addition to the duty to stay straight, the rest of the people go back to their respective homes, until January will be normal office.
At dawn, the ministers gathered outside the end gate, Li Tong could only stand in a scarlet robe in the worship train, looking at his second brother Li Shouli wearing a royal dress, standing with his face upturned in the middle of several goods of the martial family, his mood was very sour.
Today's Asahi is similar to the end of the year, so the atmosphere is also very relaxed, at least on the surface, there are not too many people in the court who have been extremely harsh with each other, everyone is beaming, especially the Wei Wang Wu Chenghei, who just participated in the Mingtang Grand Enjoyment and was in the limelight last month, came to Duanmen early, and actually wiped the powder quite sassy, his cheeks were white and red, and he looked beaming.
Standing beside Wu Chenghe, King Wu Sansi of Liang was not far behind, in addition to the court clothes, he also wore a collar of gold thread fine woven robes, under the illumination of the lights of the end door, the whole person was shining, very dazzling.
Sensing Li Tong's scouting gaze, Wu Sansi glanced back at him, his eyes full of gimmick. Now that he is no longer a subordinate secretary, he has returned to Southern Province and served as the autumn official of the Criminal Department, personally presiding over the in-depth digging of the emperor's henchmen, and the general trend is enjoying, so he naturally looks down on Li Tong, who can only make small moves.
Li Tong was already in a bad mood, and when he saw Wu Sansi's eyes, he was even more angry, damn it, if you look at me like this again, Lao Tzu will pick out your eyeballs!
The more frustrated people are, the more irritable they are, and Li Tong has not finished thinking about the fragments here, when suddenly Dr. Taichang of Sili Temple hurriedly entered the class and whispered in his ear. After listening to this, Li Tong did not hide his joy, clenched his fist and waved it in the void, and when he saw Wu Sansi looking over again, he raised his middle finger with both hands and compared, and then hurried out of work.
"Brother, look."
Looking at the back of Li Tong leaving, Wu Sansi thought thoughtfully, and raised his hand and nodded Wu Chenghe's shoulder and whispered: "Baoyu has been making a lot of noise recently, and now I am going to leave the class first, I'm afraid something will happen!" β
Wu Chengsi raised his eyes and looked over, his little face sank slightly, and he nodded: "Let's leave him for a short time, if he doesn't know how to converge after the beginning of spring, then he will attract and try the magic knife!" β
"Spring?"
Wu Sansi was slightly puzzled after hearing this, but Wu Chengsi didn't answer him, his eyes fell in the direction of the East Palace, and there was joy in his eyebrows.
Li Tong hurriedly left the class because Sili Temple was newly ordered by Shang Shuchun to set up a canonization ceremony in Asahi, and then let Yunshao Mansion quickly prepare the rites and send them to the Divine Palace.
It is exactly what he has been thinking about during this time, and while walking at this time, he is thinking in his heart that his grandmother is really naughty, and he must hang people's appetites to the end!
It's about himself, of course Li Tong has to be decent, plus he has been prepared for a long time, and has been letting the musicians rehearse his famous work "Vientiane", who doesn't have a dream of a heavenly girl scattering flowers and ascending to the throne!
Of course, the song style of "Vientiane" is too big, and the idea is very high, and it is not suitable for the ceremonial affairs of the canonization of the king, so he also made a reduction early, retained the essence, and made a new name for "Hua Nian", which happened to be recorded in the music of the Spring Official Book of Rites after his four uncles and five kings cut the knights. It's fresh and hot, just waiting for it to be opened.
After returning to Yunshao Mansion, Li Tong immediately ordered: "All the heads, gather here quickly, and follow me to the hall to have fun!" β
At the end of the year, it is the time when the ritual music is very useful, so the Zhulingle of Yunshao Mansion is also on standby at any time, although there is still a period of time before dawn, but with Li Tong's order, the Zhule Gong still quickly assembled, and packed up the instrumental music, and then went straight to the Divine Palace under the guidance of the Zhongguan.
When Li Tong led the crowd to the vicinity of the Ming Hall, the hundred officials had already passed through the Gate of Heaven and were slowly walking towards the Vientiane Divine Palace. He instructed the lieutenant to lead the Zhule people to the Xuan Pavilion in the side compartment of the Ming Hall to stand by, while he himself took refuge outside the road and waited for his entry into the class with peace of mind.
The ceremonial officials roll call, the hundred officials ascend the hall, the mountain shouts for blessings, and then the train is in the grand shrine. The Holy Emperor Wu Zetian is also crowned solemnly on this day, sitting upright on the royal bed in the hall, there are two large candles burning on the left and right, and the light is crossed, although it is still not dawn, but it still shines the Holy Emperor's face with infinite brilliance.
Today's Chaoji, there is no decision, and there are many red tapes, and Li Tong is really not in the mood to pay attention to it.
He stood in the worship of the Hengban, beside him was the people of the Zhufeng Pavilion and the Luantai to the people, looking at these people although they were not in the light, but one by one they were still standing straight, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, I can't help but sigh in my heart, brothers, Lao Tzu will go to the temple to stand in a while!
Finally, the matter went to what Li Tong was most concerned about, and when he heard the ceremonial officer sing his name, he hurriedly strode out of class. He has too many names, and today's court gathering is mainly praised, so there are a lot of roll calls, and when I hear it now, my ears hurt a little.
"The second grandson of the emperor, Baoyu, the blood of the Yuan, the two clans, the treasure of the clan, the voice of the time, the long-term failure, the public regret. Jin Sheng weeps jade, what is the king of Chu! Linxuan inherits the book, and it is appropriate! β
Unlike the edict, the book does not need to be read in the hall, but is read in the chamber and is usually awarded by the officials of the temple and the courtiers. So before getting the book, Li Tong didn't know what his new seal was.
Of course, this is just a special case, his grandmother's secrecy is too good, like the previous title of King of Hedong, it was after public discussion, and before the book was made, the news spread. However, that time he was only sealed in the ban, and it was not at all as solemn as it is today.
From the bottom of his heart, Li Tong of course hopes to restore his former name as the king of Hedong, this place in Hedong is located between the two capitals, and the location is really good.
However, looking at his grandmother's recent attitude towards him, there may be a better arrangement, in short, it is acceptable, what a king is not a king, and we are not the kind of picky people.
But when he got up to retire from the palace and was about to be sealed, after seeing the few people who participated in the canonization, his face suddenly changed, and his heart also beat a drum, realizing that this burden might be a little overwhelming.
Those few people are the new subordinate secretary Wu Chonggui, the secretary of ceremonies Ouyang Tong and Luantai Nayan Yao Xuan, which is not the specifications that a county king should have at all!
Seeing this scene, the courtiers of the palace also changed color in unison, and after a brief commotion, the content of the book was transmitted back to the main hall: Enter the heir and be honored, and the king will be crowned!
Hearing this, Wu Chenghe's white and red face immediately turned black, and his two fists clenched sharply. The other kings of the Wu clan have their own reactions, but they are generally not counted. As for Li Shouli, who was standing with several kings at this time, he just felt helpless.
