Chapter 835: The Controversy over the Etiquette System

Qi Ning smiled and said, "Lord Chen didn't sleep well last night?" This brain is so bad. Clearing the road naturally means clearing all the obstacles that stand in front of you. ”

Chen Lanting glanced at Sima Yunqiong's huge jade chariot and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, Jinyi Hou might as well help the queen clear the road." ”

"Bastard." Qi Ning reprimanded coldly: "Chen Lanting, what are you, you dare to command Ben Hou here, what should you do?" Xiang Yuan Lao Shangshu said: "Old Shangshu, Chen Lanting is so rude, is he guilty of the following?" ”

Yesterday, Qi Ning beat up the waiter of the Criminal Department on the street, Da Xi Chong, many officials already knew about this matter, Chen Lanting saw that Qi Ning's expression was not good, and couldn't help but take a few steps back, this lawless little marquis dared to beat the waiter of the Criminal Department on the street, so naturally he also had the courage to do something to the waiter of the Ministry of Justice.

Yuan Laoshangshu reconciled: "Master Hou, although Lord Chen's words are inappropriate, today is the day of the emperor's wedding, and everyone is also doing the marriage, don't hurt the harmony." ”

"What Lao Shangshu said is extremely true." Sima Changshen said in a loud voice: "Today is a festive day, Jinyi is here to show off his majesty and shout, I don't know what I want?" ”

Qi Ning looked back at Sima Changshen, and saw Sima Changshen staring at him coldly, Sima Lan had already gotten up, standing aside with his hands down, Sima Lan was the wedding envoy, and it stands to reason that he should come up with an idea immediately, but he didn't move and didn't say anything beside him.

In today's situation, Qi Ning has actually come back to his senses and knows the deep meaning of the Sima family.

It stands to reason that with Sima Lan's temperament, today's wedding will never be publicized, and low-key behavior is the way this person does things, but today's Sima family is unusual, publicizing everywhere, and many places have seriously violated the etiquette of the imperial court, and even the pomp is not under Princess Tianxiang.

His behavior was so abnormal, Qi Ning naturally felt strange, and he was also thinking about the doorway along the way, but suddenly remembered an allusion.

Zhao Gao of the Qin Dynasty wanted to seize power, but he was afraid that the ministers would not obey his orders, so he first set a trap as a temptation, so he brought a deer and presented it to Qin II, claiming that it was a horse. Qin II smiled: "The prime minister is wrong, right? You have made a deer a horse. Asked the ministers around him, some ministers were silent, and some ministers echoed that it was Ma, and Zhao Gao tested the position and thoughts of the ministers.

Refer to the deer as a horse!

Qi Ning thought of this allusion, and understood the mystery of Sima Lan's high and low publicity, in the final analysis, this was a temptation for the ministers of the DPRK and China.

The biggest opponent of the king of Huainan collapsed, looking at the court, there is almost no one to compete with the Sima family, and Sima Lan took this opportunity to lose no time to further probe, today's emperor's wedding, Sima Lan deliberately violated the etiquette system in many places, if no one dares to come out to accuse, then the prestige of the Sima family in the Chu State will be determined, and the ministers in the court will not dare to fight against the Sima family in order to protect themselves.

Qi Ning saw the strangeness in it, and naturally couldn't watch the Sima family establish its authority on the day of the wedding.

He took the initiative to stand up today, seemingly reckless, as if he intended to target the Sima family, but it was a decision made after careful consideration along the way.

He knew that if the Sima family made a temptation, if no one dared to object, the ministers naturally felt that no one could resist the Sima family, so they would be afraid of the Sima family and even surrender, but as long as someone dared to stand up, it meant that the Sima family was not covering the sky with one hand in the court, at least there were forces that dared to fight against the Sima family, and there must be many people among the courtiers who were dissatisfied with or even disgusted with the Sima family.

Qi Ning was like a mirror in his heart, when he was in the imperial tomb, he stood up to prevent the Sima family from setting off a big case, at that time he had already formed a deep hatred with the Sima family, no matter whether he could not come out today, the Jinyi Qi family was already listed as an enemy by the Sima family, since the enemy was clearly distinguished, it was better to simply stand up as a banner against the Sima family in silence and let the ministers surrender to the power of the Sima family.

Silence will only lead to more isolation and helplessness in the DPRK in the future, and standing up will inevitably attract a group of ministers who are dissatisfied with the Sima family.

"Yelling?" Since Qi Ning knew that there was something strange today, he naturally would not have any compromise with the Sima family, smiled faintly, and said, "Zhongyihou, where do you start with all this shouting?" The queen's jade chariot was blocked, and Ben Hou said that he would clean up the road and make way for the queen's jade chariot, was there anything wrong? ”

The prince of Dongqi put his hands in front of his abdomen, standing not far behind Qi Ning's side, and never said a word from beginning to end.

Duan Shao is the crown prince of Qi State, this time he came to Chu State, although he did not dare to offend the Sima family, the powerful minister of Chu State, and endured his temperament to let Princess Tianxiang's jade chariot come to Sima Mansion, but his heart was still a little unhappy, and now he saw that his sister's jade chariot could walk behind, and his heart was very dissatisfied.

Sima Changshen also knew that if he couldn't suppress Qi Ning in front of the ministers, the prestige of the Sima family would inevitably be damaged, so he sneered, pointed at Sima Yunqiong and said: "Jinyihou, what is standing in front of the queen is nothing more than the little girl's jade chariot, according to what you say, do you want to lift the jade chariot aside and let the queen pass first?" ”

Someone on the side immediately said: "Loyalty, that can't be done." If you move the jade chariot to the side road, then ..... That's not a good sign. As soon as the man finished speaking, many officials immediately chimed in.

Sima Changshen said even more proudly: "Jinyihou, you also heard, the little girl has already gone to the jade chariot, but she can't move to the sideways, if you have any good ideas, just say it." ”

Qi Ning sighed and said to Yuan Lao Shangshu: "Lao Shangshu, you are an old minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the etiquette system of my Chu State is all in your heart." I am young and knowledgeable, and I want to ask you for advice on something today, and I hope that Lao Shangshu will not hesitate to give advice. ”

Yuan Laoshangshu hesitated for a moment before he bowed his head and said, "Master Hou, please ask." ”

"When the Queen Mother entered the palace today, I wonder if Lao Shangshu was on an errand in the Ministry of Rites?"

Yuan Laoshangshu was stunned, he didn't know what Qi Ning meant, thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, the old minister was already in the Ministry of Rites at that time." ”

"Then the scene when the Queen Mother entered the palace back then, Lao Shangshu should still remember." Qi Ning put his hands behind his back: "Can Lao Shangshu tell me how the Queen Mother entered the palace back then?" ”

"This ......!" Yuan Laoshangshu hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "When the queen mother entered the palace, it was the first emperor who issued an edict and sent someone from the palace to carry a large sedan chair into the palace with twelve carries. After entering the palace, the first emperor canonized the queen mother as the imperial concubine. ”

Qi Ning to the present queen mother from the Sima family, when she entered the palace, she was only canonized as the imperial concubine, and later the mother of Longtai passed away, and Sima Guifei sat in the East Palace and became the queen.

Qi Ning said with a smile: "Twelve sedan chairs, is it in line with etiquette?" ”

Yuan Laoshangshu said: "If it is replaced by ordinary people, eight sedan chairs are already the highest number of ceremonies, and most of the ladies who welcome into the palace are ten sedan chairs, and they can carry twelve sedan chairs, which is also the emperor's grace." ”

"In this way, without the emperor's special decree, the ladies who welcome them into the palace can only carry ten sedan chairs." Qi Ning sighed, looked at Sima Changshen, and asked: "Zhongyihou, today to order your concubine into the palace, according to the etiquette system, it can only be ten sedan chairs, even if the emperor has a special order, at most two sedan chair men will be added, but now your Sima Mansion has prepared such a huge jade chariot, but I don't know what the intention is?" Could it be that Ling Yan wanted to violate the etiquette of the imperial court and enter the palace in a jade chariot? ”

In fact, when the ministers came to Sima Mansion today, they saw the luxurious jade chariot, and they were all muttering in their hearts, everyone knew that welcoming the queen was to carry the jade chariot from the palace, but except for the queen, no one in the world was qualified to take the jade chariot.

After going out of the palace to greet the queen is stipulated by the etiquette system, I have never heard that other mothers also need a guard of honor to greet their relatives, they are all sent directly to the palace, today the guard of honor turned around and came to Sima Mansion to meet Sima Yunqiong has already transgressed the etiquette system, and the Sima family actually prepared a jade chariot, which is a bit excessive.

Although the ministers muttered in their hearts, but because of the prestige of the Sima family, no one dared to say a word more, thinking that if no one dared to say it, everyone would simply pretend to be deaf and dumb, and let the matter end as soon as possible.

Now because the queen's road is blocked, Jin Yihou suddenly asked this directly, and some of the courtiers felt very happy.

Sima Changshen opened his mouth, and his confidence was obviously a little weaker: "The little girl will be the imperial concubine soon, is it ..... Shouldn't you take a jade chariot into the palace? ”

"No!" Qi Ning said categorically: "Don't say that Ling Yan has not been canonized as a concubine yet, even if the emperor really decrees to be established as an imperial concubine, I am afraid that she is not qualified to take the jade chariot." Loyalty, is it true that no one understands this truth? Looking at Sima Lan, who had been silent, he said: "The old prince has worked very hard for the emperor's wedding in the past few days, and he may not have time to ask about the preparations here, but Zhongyihou should not be so negligent. There are no two days in the sky, there are no two masters, the dragon and the phoenix are auspicious, there is only one true dragon and the son of heaven, and there is only one phoenix in the four seas. ”

"Well said!" A shout sounded from behind: "Jinyihou's words are in line with my Dachu etiquette, there is no mistake, except for the queen, who can take the jade chariot?" ”

Everyone followed the sound and saw that the person who spoke was Dou Kui, the head of the household.

As soon as Dou Kui spoke, many courtiers immediately said: "Yes, yes, the queen takes the jade chariot, which is naturally in line with the etiquette system, and if it is someone else, hehe......!" ”

"What Jin Yihou said is that the two jade chariots are walking on the street and being seen by the people, what kind of system is it?"

Qi Ning saw it in his eyes, his heart was slightly wide, and he secretly thought that his choice today was not wrong, and it can be seen from the reactions of these ministers, because he stood up, these courtiers were not afraid of the Sima family, at least many people dared to speak, and this was exactly the result that Qi Ning wanted to see.
