Chapter 746: Intercession
The ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens is just around the corner, but Wei Yanran now looks like she doesn't think it's a big deal to see the excitement, she thought of all the wording and went to the imperial study to meet the emperor in person.
Wei Yanran went to the imperial study to see the emperor in the name of complaining, and the emperor naturally knew that this matter was his own fault, so when he heard Wei Yanran's tearful complaints, he could only listen to it.
"I still have a piece of money to approve here, if you don't have anything important, go and look at the ceremony with King Yong, I don't have a few days."
Wei Yanran burst into tears and complained to the emperor who listened to the emperor's headache, and the emperor finally couldn't help it.
But as soon as the emperor's words came out, Wei Yanran immediately followed the emperor's words, "His Royal Highness King Yong's handling of the matter of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony is very meticulous and thoughtful, and the courtiers don't have any good opinions, but there is one courtier who feels that it is not appropriate." ”
Wei Yanran put on a high hat for King Yong on the way, but her top hat was not worn by anyone, and when the emperor heard that even the people in the Yasukuni Mansion had begun to praise King Yong, he couldn't help but be suspicious of King Yong.
After all, Gu Chengyu and Qin Yenan have always had a good relationship, but now Wei Yanran praised King Yong in front of the emperor.
Wei Yanran took advantage of the emperor's suspicions, and immediately said what she felt was inappropriate, and she looked at the emperor with a serious face.
"The emperor has always ruled the world with filial piety, and the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky is a good opportunity to promote the royal demeanor to the people, and the courtiers think that His Royal Highness King An can participate in the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky with a sinful body, which can show the emperor's bearing and benevolence."
As soon as Wei Yanran's words came out, although the emperor did not give an immediate reply, he still lowered his head and thought about it seriously.
After a moment of silence, the emperor glanced up at Wei Yanran, "According to what you mean, I should give King An a favor?" Well? ”
The emperor was clearly questioning Wei Yanran, Wei Yanran had to think about how to deal with this problem in her heart, she was silent for a moment and deliberately made a look of embarrassment, it seemed that her heart was very struggling.
"At present, the situation in Yenan is unclear, what an important thing is to worship the heavens, and the courtiers just have such a stupid idea in their hearts, and everything is up to the emperor. The emperor is wise and an example of the big guys. ”
Wei Yanran has always been low-key, but what kind of person she is, the emperor doesn't know how in his heart, and the emperor only laughed twice when he heard Wei Yanran's words.
"That's it, you're right, in the face of my son, I should show some grace, spread my will, and pardon King An Gu Chengyuan to participate in the sacrifice in a pro-dynasty costume on top of the heavenly sacrifice ceremony, and tell him that he doesn't have to come over to thank him, as long as he keeps to himself in the future."
Wei Yanran left the imperial study with satisfaction when she heard the emperor's words, she was going to go to the palace of Concubine Hai, and after discussing with Concubine Hai, she would leave the palace immediately.
But Wei Yanran ignored one thing, the palace has long since changed, and there are eyeliners of King Yong and King An everywhere.
I am afraid that the holy decree just now has already reached the ears of King Yong and King An through different channels as soon as it left the door of the imperial study.
Especially King An, although Gu Chengyuan was grounded by the emperor's decree, his news was very well-informed, especially after Wei Yanran returned to Beijing this time, he actually took the initiative to intercede with the emperor for him.
"The emperor decreed that you can serve the prince and participate in the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky, it seems that this princess is also a person who knows the times, and she is indeed going to help us this time."
As soon as the news of Wei Yanran's intercession for Gu Chengyuan came out, the old housekeeper of King An's Mansion had already reported the matter to Gu Chengyuan before the holy decree arrived at King An's Mansion.
Moreover, Gu Chengyuan was revoked from the title of prince by the emperor in public after Wang Meijing's accident, but now the emperor is very gracious and lets him serve the prince, which really exceeds Gu Chengyuan's expectations, no wonder the old housekeeper is so happy. k
The old housekeeper felt that through this incident, he could prove that Wei Yanran had recognized the situation and was determined to stand aside with them, and when he said this, Gu Chengyuan was also a little moved, so he nodded and said.
"I hope she really wants to help me, if that's the case, then the king will not live up to her goodness."
It's just that Gu Chengyuan is not so happy at the moment.
What a transparent person he is, he naturally knows that the capital is more dangerous than the outside now, especially the current palace, which hides countless guns and arrows, Wei Yanran is now alone to face the scheming King Yong, he is really a little worried.
Just when Gu Chengyuan was worried, the people sent by Hai Guifei had already arrived at King An's Mansion, and Hai Guifei's people came faster than the emperor's holy decree.
After reporting to the family to explain his intentions, Gu Chengyuan also understood Hai Guifei's thoughts, Hai Guifei made this decision just to protect Gu Chengyu in today's completely passive situation.
Gu Chengyuan thought of Concubine Hai's kindness to him, as long as Gu Chengyu didn't fight with him, then he would naturally keep Gu Chengyu, so in the face of Concubine Hai's proposal, Gu Chengyuan readily agreed.
"Say hello to the mother concubine for the king, and take care of the princess, you must be cautious these days."
According to Wei Yanran's ice and snow intelligence, she will definitely understand the meaning of Gu Chengyuan's words, but unfortunately Gu Chengyuan's words are a step late.
Because the news on King Yong's side is also very well-informed.
Almost at the same time, King Yong also learned the content of the emperor's decree, he angrily knocked over the inkstone on the table to the ground, and the rich ink spilled on the ground.
"This Wei Yanran is still dying, then it's time for her to be restrained, you take these things on the table to the palace of the concubine Niangniang and invite her to the mansion, just say that the king has a big matter to discuss with her about the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky, if she can't shirk it, you will threaten the Yasukuni Mansion and bring her over."
When King Yong said this, his eyes revealed murderous aura. But the person in charge of the message showed some hesitation, "This, I'm afraid it's not good, after all, the Yasukuni Mansion ......."
"You know what, extraordinary times are very means!"
King Yong directly interrupted the words of his subordinates. He waved his hand, not caring what the result would be.
Because King Yong knew that even if he really detained Wei Yanran, the Duke of Yasukuni would not directly go to his mansion to ask for someone in the way of Qin Yenan, so he was so unscrupulous.
Both horizontal and vertical are going to envelop the minister after the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky, and now that Wei Yanran, the princess of the world, is in his hands, he is not afraid that the people of the Yasukuni Mansion will not help him.
King Yong made a good calculation, but it was a pity that he looked down on Gu Chengyuan too much.
How could he have thought that after seeing Gu Chengyuan, Concubine Hai's people had already asked Gu Chengyuan to contact Ouyang Xian in the name of the Twelve Princes.
Although Ouyang Xian handed over the military power, the 100,000 garrisons outside the imperial city were still under his command.
Now these horses have long been secretly transferred to Qin Yenan's side by Ouyang Xian.
This time King Yong lost.
