Chapter 85
The enthronement ceremony of the Carnival Dynasty is already being planned, and every time Si Kouxi comes out of the Qinzheng Palace, he can see the busy figure of the palace people, and the ministers of the Ministry of Rites are also busy, and they don't know what to call her when they occasionally see Si Kouxi's figure. So in most cases, everyone just saluted silently, and Si Kouxi didn't care if everyone saluted or what they called her, anyway, she would go back after the enthronement ceremony was over.
Because Ge Yan got Si Kouxi's approval, he promised to let her go out of the palace to play, and Ge Yan was naturally very happy that he could enter and leave the palace at will and play anywhere. In order to thank Si Kouxi for letting her go out of the palace to play, every time Geyan returned to the palace, she would go to Si Kouxi to share what she had seen and heard in a day.
Si Kouxi knows all these things very well, but it's hard for Ge Yan to be so interested, so she listens to Ge Yan's things every time and answers some questions raised by Ge Yan. This time, Ge Yan came back from outside the palace and brought back the food in the dining pavilion, and she opened the food box like a treasure and said, "Sister, the food in the dining pavilion outside the palace is much better than that in the palace." So I deliberately brought some back to you. ”
Si Kouxi looked at the familiar pastry, smiled, stretched out his hand and took a piece and prepared to stuff it into his mouth. But the aroma of the pastry rushed straight to Si Kouxi's nostrils, and she suddenly felt a little sick to her stomach, but she frowned and didn't show it. Ge Yan looked at Si Kouxi and frowned, thinking that the pastries were not to her taste, and asked worriedly, "Sister, don't you like it?" Ge Yan thinks about it, and Si Kou Xigui is a princess, so he shouldn't look down on these.
Si Kouxi put down the pastries in his hand, and didn't say whether he liked it or not, but just said the name and taste of each pastry, and it was exactly the same. The more Ge Yan listened, the brighter his eyes became, and Si Kouxi stroked Ge Yan's hand and said, "I don't think it's delicious, but I like it very much." It's just that I've been a little tired for the past two days, and I don't have much appetite for anything to eat. ”
Ge Yan nodded suddenly in realization, she did see that Si Kouxi often sat in the study to accompany Brother Jinshen to deal with government affairs, and discussed with each other the solution to a matter. Now that the Jianian Dynasty has just undergone a major change, many officials have been investigated and dismissed, and many previous unjust, false and wrongful cases have been turned over and reorganized.
The retrial of unjust, false and wrongly decided cases was proposed by Si Kouxi, and many loyal martyrs were dismissed or exiled by Mu Xi because of their connection with Empress He Shu. When Jin Shen first took the position, it was not enough to rely on Tu Hua and Yue Qun and some protégés, so they had to invite those talented people back again. But it takes time to investigate these old cases, so everyone is tired every day.
Ge Yan tentatively asked Si Kouxi if he could help in the future? Si Kouxi naturally agreed, after all, she is a person who regards Ge Yan as her future brother-in-law, she does not have the idea that those women are not allowed to interfere in politics, and she can also teach Ge Yan some things, let her learn, and help her brother in the future. It doesn't matter if Geyan and Jinshen don't have a chance, she is really willing to teach this girl, and it's always right for girls to learn more.
On the day of the enthronement ceremony.
Before dawn, the palace was already shuttling with all kinds of figures, everyone was carrying out various matters in an orderly manner, and the ministers also wore court clothes to enter the palace one after another, and they stood in front of the main hall, waiting for the beginning of the enthronement ceremony. There are really a lot of officials today, and because it is the enthronement ceremony, some local officials are going to come to meet them. Kyoto is also bustling with activity these days, and the streets and alleys are filled with the joy of the new emperor's accession to the throne. All the shops under Bihai Palace are disposed of at half price, so the store is full of friends for a while.
Ge Yan was also very excited today, and ran to Si Kouxi's courtyard, planning to invite Si Kouxi to watch the ceremony together. But when I went in, I found that Si Kouxi was wearing the most ordinary dress, although it was also good-looking, but it was obviously not the dress of a high-ranking person, and it was completely lacking in the heroic posture of Si Kouxi when he fought the ministers some time ago. Si Kouxi told Ge Yan that she had other things to do and would not go to the ceremony.
Si Kouxi needs to bring Mu Xi out, let him watch Jin Shen ascend to the throne, and then send him to hell. Geyan tentatively asked if he could go along. Yan Shu and Yan Jia, who were standing on the side, both felt a little embarrassed, after all, they were going to deal with Mu Xi, and it didn't seem good to take this princess from the northwest with them. Si Kouxi didn't think so, after Jinshen ascended the throne, Mu Xi's actions would be revealed to the world, and the truth about Empress He Shu's death would also be revealed to the world. So there's nothing you can't see, everyone will know anyway.
There was a group of people standing at the side entrance of the main hall, although it was in a remote corner, but the view was very good, and you could see all the progress of the enthronement ceremony. The first time Ge Yan saw Mu Xi, who was already skinny and slumped in the chair, she was a little frightened, but she didn't show all her expressions. It's not that she doesn't understand the squalor of the royal family, everything has a dark side, and she has seen, experienced, and seen it. My mother told me that she would only see more as she got older.
Si Kouxi glanced at the girl beside her, and the expression on her face did not change after seeing Mu Xi. She secretly applauded, it seemed that as a princess, she was not pampered.
A shout: "The emperor is here~". I saw a bright yellow figure slowly step forward, and the target was the highest throne. However, Jin Shen paused for a moment in the middle, and his eyes were on the side door, but just to take a look at his sister, he was glad that he still had relatives by his side at this moment. Si Kouxi smiled at him, and Ge Yan also jumped up and waved at him, as if he couldn't see it. Shin continued on until he was seated on the throne.
The ministers below all looked at the young emperor, and they all sighed in their hearts, they never thought that such a young child would overthrow his father's regime like this. Some people praise Jinshen a lot, while others think that Jinshen is a ruthless person. No matter what others say, Si Kouxi believes that he will become a good emperor and guard the country laid by his aunt.
I thought that the next step would be the coronation ceremony of the throne, but who knew that it would be the disclosure conference. Zhong Mou took the scroll in his hand and told all the unjust, false and wrongful cases that Mu Xi had judged over the years, and the ministers who had been rerecalled were all excited, and the biggest stain on their lives had finally been washed away. Then there is the real cause of Empress He Shu's death, because the Fire Army disappeared for a long time. He Shu's original subordinates were resentful of Mu Xi when they heard this, and at the same time, they also remembered the years when they fought side by side with He Shu, and Tu Hua's eyes turned red when he listened.
Ge Yan was also surprised by these things, and was sad for the loss of her mother, and then looked at Mu Xi who was paralyzed there beside her, and she felt that it was not too much to cut him with a thousand knives. The calmest people in their hearts here are Jin Shen and Si Kouxi, because everything happened in front of their eyes, and those who should be resentful have been resented, and those who should be sad have been sad. When you listen to others, it's a statement of fact, and they can listen to it without any waves. At the same time, there were also people at the gate of Kyoto who simultaneously read out the truth of Mu Xi's crime. The people standing below were listening carefully, and the street, which had been bustling with activity a second before, had now calmed down.
Everyone thought that it would be a joyful enthronement ceremony, but it was such a sad thing as the opening remarks. When Zhongmou announced Mu Jinshen as the emperor, Si Kouxi finally breathed a sigh of relief, she looked up at the sky, and thought: Auntie, you can finally rest in peace, you see that Jinshen has taken back the country that belongs to you.
But something that was read out afterwards was something that Si Kouxi didn't expect. "The emperor's eldest sister Si Kouxi is the regent, Tu Hua is the prime minister, and Yue Qun is the general······ in order to thank Tengxiao for its assistance, the Jianian Dynasty is willing to repair a hundred years with it······ The king of the northwest of the northwest supports the front line, and he can be exempted from paying tribute for ten years······" In short, there is a lot of things, and everything is discussed by everyone, but the regent has no idea about it.
Mu Xi, who was sitting on the side, with unwillingness in his eyes, finally became calm after hearing about the regent, and said in a hoarse voice: "You are just like He Shu back then, ambitious, you actually let that fool make you the regent, and the Jianian Dynasty will be destroyed in your hands sooner or later." That idiot ······" Ge Yan listened to Mu Xi's unbearable words, and directly retorted and said: "You are the fool who killed Queen He Shu who is so good and loves you so much." It's because you're stupid that you're lying here watching Brother Jinshen ascend the throne, and you're the most stupid person. ”
Another little girl taught herself a lesson, Si Kouxi stopped Ge Yan, looked at Mu Xi and said: "What happens to the follow-up of the Carnival Dynasty has nothing to do with you, you just need to know that you are defeated, because of your stupidity." After speaking, she motioned to the people around her to take Mu Xi down. Finally, the ears were cleared, and the disgusting smell finally disappeared. Si Kouxi could finally breathe heavily.
Ge Yan was afraid that Si Kou Xi would be in a bad mood, so she gently grabbed Si Kou Xi's arm and said, "Sister, I know you won't." The regent is what he wants to give you, not what you want. Si Kouxi motioned to Ge Yan not to take that person's words to heart. Ge Yan saw that Si Kouxi was not in a bad mood because of this, and a smile appeared on his face. Si Kouxi looked at Ge Yan and thought, this is really a cute and intelligent girl, I just don't know if Jinshen has this blessing.
Mu Xi was taken to the back of Bihai Palace, where the entire country of the Carnival Dynasty was directly opposed. Mu Xi naturally knew the name of Bihai Palace, and many years ago he also wanted to win over Bihai Palace, but he always returned in vain, but when he asked them to buy weapons before, they sold them generously. Mu Xi was tied to a pillar, and in front of him was the brightly lit Carnival Dynasty.
Si Kouxi stepped forward, looked at the light in front of him and said, "It's really beautiful, but it doesn't belong to you anymore." Mu Xi felt angry when he looked at the woman in front of him who had come to humiliate him several times, and he really wanted to strangle her. Si Kouxi said: "If you know the Bihai Palace, I am its palace master." Mu Xi's eyes were full of shock, he didn't believe that the girl in front of him was the palace master of Bihai Palace who was smiling proudly. The smile on the corner of Si Kouxi's mouth was even worse, and the banter in his eyes was revealed to the extreme. "But do you know who built this place in the first place?" Mu Xi always felt that what the woman said next would not be what she wanted to know, but Si Kouxi wanted him to know.
"This place was originally established by Aunt He Shu to protect the country for you. It's a pity that my aunt was killed by you before it was formed. Oh, by the way, the Fire Army that disappeared back then is hiding here. Mu Xi almost fainted after hearing this, but he didn't expect that this Bihai Palace was actually He Shu's, who was supposed to help him, but in the end he became the culprit who killed him. Si Kouxi suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "Oh, that's right. I don't know if you remember, Bihai Palace once sold a large number of weapons to your soldiers, to tell you the truth, those weapons were all used and vulnerable. In other words, you are equivalent to sending a group of helpless people to the battlefield! ”
Now it's okay, Mu Xi directly surged with anger, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. Si Kouxi looked at Mu Xi coldly, and sneered lightly, "Light the fire." Yan Jia took a torch and lit the firewood near Mu Xi, Mu Xi's eyes showed deep fear, he thought that he might be beheaded and beheaded, but he didn't think that he would be burned alive. He didn't want to experience such a painful death, so he shouted: "Kill me, just give me a sword, don't burn it!" Mu Xi struggled desperately but to no avail.
Si Kouxi sneered and said: "How cheap it is for you to kill you directly, since you watched your aunt being burned to death, then you should also taste the taste of being burned to death!" After finishing speaking, Mu Xi's terrible screams were all on the mountain, the screams were weak little by little, and disappeared little by little, and finally Mu Xi was burned to death. Si Kouxi didn't know why he smelled like this, he was a little sick to his stomach, and finally retched directly. Yan Shu immediately stepped forward to support Si Kouxi, Si Kouxi waved her hand, she thought that she might not have killed for too long. But Yan Shu didn't think so, and directly took the pulse of her boss Kou Xi.
Yan Shu's brows tightened for a while and loosened for a while, and she also changed her left and right hands to take a good look. Si Kouxi was a little nervous when he saw this, and he knew what Yan Shuke's symptoms were before. It's been so long this time, so nothing really will happen to me. Yan Shu looked at Si Kouxi in a daze, Si Kouxi was a little scared, and asked softly, "What's wrong?" Yan Shu opened her mouth and said, "Palace Master, you are pregnant." ”
Si Kouxi didn't react at once, but Yan Jia immediately came over, Si Kouxi looked at Yan Jia and said, "I heard you right, right?" Yan Jia rolled her eyes, although it was indeed shocking, but Yan Shu had never missed the diagnosis, she nodded seriously and said, "Palace Master, you are really pregnant." Si Kouxi finally recovered, and he was so happy that he almost jumped three feet high.
A breeze blew, and the smell of burnt corpses came again, and before Si Kouxi could be happy, he began to retch again. Yan Shu helplessly helped up Si Kou Xi and said, "Yan Jia, you deal with it first, I'll help the palace master go back first, and tell Jin Shen the news by the way." After that, we will go back to Tengxiao Kingdom directly, and the Carnival Dynasty will not go. Si Kouxi was happy that there were some little lives in his belly, and he didn't raise any objections to Yan Shu's decision.
Jin Shen was still waiting for his sister to come back in the palace, but he only waited for a Liao Ying to come. It said: The palace master found out that she was pregnant, and set off to return to Tengxiao on the same day. Mu Xi has been burned to death.
Jin Shen didn't care about how Mu Xi died, but her sister found out that she was pregnant, and she was really happy. Ge Yan looked at the happy smile on Jinshen's face and asked curiously what had happened. Jin Shen directly hugged Geyan and said happily: "My sister is pregnant, and I am going to be an uncle." It's even happier than when I ascend the throne. Ge Yan was also happy for Si Kouxi, but now she was even more stunned that Jin Shen actually hugged herself.
Ge Yan and Jin Shen were drinking in the courtyard of the Jin Shen Palace, Ge Yan looked at Jin Shen who was resting with his eyes closed, and said with a little melancholy: "Brother Jin Shen, your enthronement ceremony is over, and the return date I agreed with my brother is coming, and I may have to go back." Ge Yan's heart was very sour for some reason, and something in his eyes was about to run out.
Jin Shen was also stunned, but he quickly said, "I'll go back with you." When Ge Yan heard this, he immediately retracted the tears that ran out, looked at Jin Shen on the side in surprise and asked, "Really?" But she didn't wait for an answer, and Jin Shen still lay in the rocking chair with her eyes closed. Ge Yan lowered her head lonely, slowly got up and walked to the door, she wondered how could Jin Shen go back with her, he had just ascended the throne, and he was still so busy.
In fact, it's not that he didn't answer, but he was too tired in the past two days, and just now he drank a lot of wine, and under the hypnosis of alcohol, he fell asleep. I really didn't hear Ge Yan's inquiry.
