Chapter 251: The Cicada and the Yellow Sparrow (Part II)
On the first day of October in the first year of Ruyi, the period of the Shuo Sun Dynasty Meeting.
Empress Wu summoned the kings of the clan, civil and military relatives and envoys of foreign vassals, and accepted the Tuoba Siyu, the king of millions of Qiang people in the southwest, to be attached to the rest of the Tianmen.
Engaged in wind and rain for many years, he always lived behind the scenes, speaking of which, this is the fire of the Vientiane Shrine, Xue Huaiyi conferred the head, he was demoted to the commander of the princess Yi with a thousand cows, the first time he appeared in the court, pinching his fingers, almost three years.
Long and jade, young and weak, heroic, wearing a purple robe, standing in the queue of most of the drooping and old loose officials, it is particularly conspicuous.
Quan Ce would not be uncomfortable, for him, standing in the middle of a group of old people was no different from standing in the middle of a group of soldiers, standing silently, like a pine like a crane, his eyes were indifferent, and he did not look at his surroundings.
Nine rings of the net whip, civil and military banqi, the martial queen was dressed in a grand golden robe with dark blue embroidered hezi, wearing a purple and gold crown, Xie Yaohuan and Shangguan Wan'er supported on both sides, Wei Tuan'er took a group of female officials and attendants to dress up, and she went upstairs, and her purple and red colors were like fluttering golden clouds.
The imperial gate of the Empress Wu stands by the railing, a large number of eunuchs follow the footsteps, neatly lined up on both sides of the stone stairs of the gatehouse and the royal road, all of them are some middle-aged people, and at any time the words of the Empress Wu to the foreign vassal land king are spread all over the world.
On the gatehouse, Shangguan Wan'er and Xie Yaohuan stood on both sides of the martial arts, Wei Tuan'er and other female officials surrounded, and behind them was a figure, standing was the imperial heir Li Dan, starting from him, extending to both sides, followed by the clan nobles and foreign envoys, and the untitled civil and military ministers were standing in the rear, if they were not tall enough, they could hardly see the scene under the gatehouse.
The Qiang people's land king, who is also the Fuguo Gong Tuoba Siyu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, is dressed in Qiang costumes, colorful and green, all kinds of gold and silver ornaments are hung up, riding a black horse, leading the same colorful Qiang people honor guard, slowly walking along the royal road, carrying the team carrying various tributes on the shoulders, stretching out for several miles.
In order to show the great Zhou Tianwei, the king of earth and his entourage walked extremely slowly, so that the people of the gods on both sides of the Luo River enjoyed watching the grand ceremony.
Empress Wu looked a little impatient, the cold wind in early winter, she had always been not afraid of the cold, she felt a little cold, this feeling was not as good as before, which made her extremely irritable.
"Let Quan Ce come forward" Chrysostom opened lightly, and the Empress Wu passed down the order.
Wei Tuan'er immediately bent down and bowed his head, walked in front of Quan Ce with broken steps, made a blessing, and stretched out his hand, "Doctor Quan, Your Majesty is invited"
Quan Ce was stunned for a while, only to realize that this title similar to seeing a doctor was his own, and hurriedly bowed back, "Don't dare"
As Wei Tuan'er walked all the way, walked to the front of the civil and military officials, crossed the princes and nobles, came to the back of the emperor's heir, paused, and saw that Wei Tuan'er had no intention of stopping, so he had to continue to move forward.
All the way to Empress Wu's side, Wei Tuan'er replied in a low voice, Empress Wu turned around and beckoned, Xie Yaohuan smiled and gave way to the side, and Quan Ce stood in her place.
Empress Wu looked at his face, youthful and vigorous, her heart was a little more comfortable, she took his hand and whispered, "I heard that you gave two bags of tea leaves, one is Shizi fried tea, and the other bag is mixed with flower petals?" ”
Quan Ce felt that the sight behind him was even hotter, and he was very helpless in his heart, and felt that the jade hand of the Empress Wu was slightly cold, so he opened his hand slightly, wrapped her hand, and replied softly, "Your Majesty Shengming, the minister has never liked tea soup, he thinks it is greasy, and he is forced to drink tea because of the needs of communication. This flower can be dried and chewed, has the effect of nourishing blood and nourishing yin, by His Majesty's grace, His Royal Highness Qianjin went to Chang'an to meet Yu Chen, so he gave His Royal Highness Qianjin two packs of tasting"
In addition to the golden princess of calendula tea, he also gave Princess Yiyang and Princess Gao'an, and Hibiscus naturally also had a copy, but the feedback was not very good, they all said that it was bland, tasteless to drink, and it was said that it was bland, and the petals were added.
"If you don't have filial piety, how can you forget me?" The temperature of Empress Wu's palm slowly rose, and he glanced at him obliquely, and his tone was neither light nor heavy.
The right policy is just right to flow out of some sincere fear, "Your Majesty forgives the sin, but this thing is the entrance, the minister does not dare to make a mistake, besides, the daughter aunt used it, saying that the taste is light, not in accordance with the taste, and the minister does not dare to use it to offer ugliness"
"I also use it, it's lighter, but you need to taste it carefully, in order to get the fragrance, you can love this thing, it shows that the heart is tolerant, there is often calmness, and I am similar" Empress Wu never hesitated to praise her ministers, Quan Ce often heard her praise, but this sentence similar to me is the first time I have heard it, it is too heavy.
Quan Ce was so frightened that he immediately turned over and knelt down, "Your Majesty has a good reputation, and the minister will never dare."
One of his hands was still raised, and in the hands of the Empress Wu, he looked a little funny.
Empress Wu's hand was slightly forced, frowning and scolding, "Get up, don't look like you"
Quan Ce got up with the situation, his heart jumped violently, he bowed slightly and took half a step back, his posture was humble and submissive, and he really didn't want to talk to Empress Wu anymore.
Fortunately, at this time, a forty-year-old official rushed up from the gatehouse, and came to ask for a decree, "Xue Ji, the minister Honglu Shaoqing, is in charge of the Western Qiang Tu King's internal ritual system, and the Qiang King is thinking of the king, surrendering to the Heavenly Empire, bowing and bowing, please Your Majesty's grace"
Quan Ce squinted at him, Xue Ji, Honglu Shaoqing, he planned to promote the wings of Princess Taiping into the court, but he was a strong character, extremely good at pulling the banner as a tiger skin, the party was the same and different, Deng Huaiyu had been operating in Honglu Temple for twenty or thirty years, but he had a temperament and did not do anything, but he was suppressed by him under the banner of Princess Taiping's mansion and could not breathe.
"Quasi" Empress Wu's red lips moved slightly, and her clear voice gave her will.
Xue Ji led the order, took out a roll of yellow silk, read it aloud, and read a word after the martial arts, he was stunned to read it for half an hour.
Tuoba Siyu received the will and bowed as a ritual.
"King Shierqiang, how many people are born? What about etiquette? Empress Wu asked lightly with red lips.
"King Shierqiang, how many people are born? What about etiquette? "The two rows of eunuchs transmitted the voice, and the loud and sharp voice spread to the four fields.
"There are 300,000 strange households, spread in the mountains and wilderness, less educated, lack of etiquette, now attached to the holy king, bathing grace, and begging His Majesty to have mercy" Tuoba Si Yu bowed down and replied correctly, and the words read were prepared in advance by Honglu Temple, which was flat and stable, and could not produce new, but there was no big mistake.
……
"King Erqiang, look up to your heart, soothe the people of Li, serve me Zhengshuo, practice my etiquette, don't forget it" and asked a few more rounds, and the Empress Wu admonished in accordance with the etiquette system.
"The minister respectfully obeys the edict" Tuoba Siyu bowed again, Xue Ji went to guide, and the next step should be to enter the gate of heaven, enter the Luocheng Palace with the palace to change clothes.
Suddenly turned into elbows and armpits, and the black steed, which had just stayed in place, suddenly galloped wildly, rampaged, and knocked the surrounding Luan Yi and the eunuchs of the sound transmission into a back-mounted horse.
The guards of the harem gate swarmed up, brandished knives and guns, and fired ten thousand arrows at once, killing the horse on the spot, and the blood flowed in the square in front of the palace gate, and the people who rushed to watch the ceremony around saw this bloody scene, and were terrified, and the wolves rushed to the pigs, trampled on each other, trampled to death, and fell into the water, I don't know how many, and the screams were all together.
"Ah, King Qiang, medical officer, medical officer......" Xue Ji was like a candle in the wind, his face was blue-gray, with residual flames, swaying with the wind for a long time, he fainted with a bang, and fell to the ground.
Empress Wu snorted coldly, "Quan Ce, go down and take care of this matter"
"The minister obeys the order" Quan Ce lowered his head, concealed the strange look on his face, and hurried down to the gatehouse.
When he passed by the imperial heir Li Dan, he noticed his position, his pupils suddenly dilated, Xu was short, and his nerves were too tight, and he heard the swords and soldiers in all directions, and people shouted horses neighing, and unconsciously took a few steps forward, and looked down with his feet.
If he exceeds his position, he exceeds the system, and others exceed the system, and the sin can be light or heavy, and he exceeds the system, but he does not know what kind of wind and rain it is.
Quan Ce had no intention of targeting him at this time, he glanced at it and went downstairs, he didn't see it, behind him, Wei Tuan'er stared at the feet of the imperial heir, his face unconsciously pulled open, showing a very strange shape, and his eyes were scorching.
