Chapter 17: The Return
In the past, the Qianran School Palace was already magnificent enough, but today it is a little different, the original dense tables and chairs in the hall were all removed, making room for six rings, and there were some people around each ring, some were eager to try, some were apprehensive, and some looked left and right, and from time to time they turned their eyes to the main platform, but it was still empty at the moment.
But if you look closely, you can still find that some seats have been added to the main pedestal, and from here you can look down on the entire palace.
There is a chair on the main pedestal that is the most eye-catching, the gold lacquer carved dragon throne, the golden light is shining, and the original valuable seats around the reflection are eclipsed, including the silver lacquer carved dragon throne unique to Ningxiang Hou.
As time passed, more people in the crowd began to look at the main platform, everyone knows that Qianran will always be very valued by the imperial court, and the emperor will personally preside over each session of Qianran Hui, but in addition, there are not many opportunities to see the dragon's face after all, and the emperors of the Jinyang Dynasty have been influenced by "art" and advocated maintaining the mystery of the emperor's power, and this kind of pro-people action is very limited.
"Wei Xiangye has arrived!"
"Mu Xiangye has arrived!"
When the great eunuch Rong Qing personally chanted, he waved his hand at the same time.
The two old courtiers walked to the main platform with the support of the inner servants.
If there was no one next to Wei Zhengxun, the left prime minister, he went straight forward, and he didn't look at the cheers of the full house.
The difference is that Mu Baichuan, the right minister, stopped from time to time and waved to the crowd standing on both sides, with a childish appearance, and his spirit was even more vigorous.
Then the high-ranking officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee arrived one after another, and the crowd was lively for a while.
However, the golden lacquer carved dragon throne on the main pedestal was still empty, which was expected by everyone, and the emperor was naturally the last finale, but what was a little surprising was that Ning Xianghou had not yet arrived.
Ningxiang Marquis, as a cadre in the court, traditional large-scale activities, he is present in advance, organization and coordination, like this ten-year Qianran meeting is about to be held, he has not yet come, and people with a heart are thinking about the hidden feelings.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Rong Qing's voice instantly raised a few points, and this force also relieved some people from the confusion that Ning Xianghou had not yet arrived, and his eyes were firmly locked on the main platform.
As soon as He Muhan appeared, everyone knelt down, and the sound of long live the mountain was deafening.
He Muhan didn't say a word, as if he wanted to let his courtiers kneel for a while, and under the guidance of the six chamberlains, he slowly walked to his throne and sat down steadily, and then spoke:
"Get up."
Wow...
Under the uniform rhythm, everyone rose, but He Muhan did not have any expression on his face, glanced at the empty position beside him, but did not say anything.
Because these scenes were all said by Ning Xianghou in the past, He Muhan sorted out his thoughts slightly, and then said, "Everyone knows that today is the centenary of the establishment of the Jinyang Dynasty, and the long-awaited 'Qingcang Meeting' will also ......be held."
As soon as the three words "Qingcanghui" fell, although there was no obvious muttering in the crowd, many people still looked at each other, obviously the name "Qianran Hui" was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, He Muhan and Ningxiang Hou rashly changed their names, and many people still had some emotions in their hearts, after all, Emperor Gao's great martial arts He Qianran was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
However, the thoughts in many people's hearts, in the face of the absolute monarchy of the Son of Heaven, can only be thought about in their hearts.
Outside the door, there was a sudden sound of armor moving.
Before the eunuch could report, a voice sounded, "It's been a hundred years since my Jinyang was established, and the old minister finally rushed back..."
Hearing this voice, some young juniors secretly frowned, thinking to themselves who this person is, it is rude to be so rude, what kind of system is it to chant in front of the emperor like this.
But some of the older people, hearing the voice, did not dare to have any dissatisfaction, and kept their eyes firmly fixed on the direction of the door, waiting for the owner of the voice to appear.
However, Lu Chuanlin, the right attendant of the military department, personally stepped forward and opened the door, and the joy on his face was overflowing.
Even He Muhan stood up and muttered, "Finally back, finally back, my right governor is back." ”
The person who came was a middle-aged man, but his face was full of weather, and he looked old, this person was tall, with long hands and long feet, and the armor on his body was still very worn, faintly gray, but under the burly body, he still looked magnificent.
But as soon as they got closer, many people were taken aback.
The man had a long scar on the left side of his face, which directly broke a gap in the bridge of his nose, and looked particularly hideous, but his eyes were calm and steady, and he didn't seem to care about the ugly appearance at all, and said loudly:
"The commander of the thirteen castles of the minister, the right governor Lu Duchu pays a visit to my emperor!" After saying that, the sound of iron armor started, and the big man actually bowed down with three heads, and the sound of knock and knock echoed in the silent palace.
"What's the origin of this man?" Meng Ruo, who had been holding back and didn't speak, finally asked in a low voice.
Mu Yanxi shook her head as if she remembered something bad and said, "Lu madman... When he was a child, his parents often used him to coax their children, and if he was disobedient, he was kidnapped by Lu Maniac, and as a result, the child was so scared that he didn't dare to cry at night. ”
"And the scar on his face?" Meng Ruo's voice became even quieter.
Mu Yanxi shook her head, "It seems to be a knife for He Qingcang back then... This Lu madman is the family of Queen Lu, who has always been loyal to the royal family, sleeping in the open air, guarding the south gate, and has not returned to Jinyang City for several years. ”
"What is the relationship between Lord Lu Chuanlin, the right attendant of the military department, and this 'Lu madman'?" Meng Xiaochen had fought side by side with Lu Chuanlin in the process of rescuing He Nuo, so he was more careful and asked.
"They're brothers." Mu Yanxi replied directly, "The Lu family's power in the DPRK is not weak, and more importantly, they are very incompatible with Rongqing, which is consistent with us. ”
"I know, I know." Meng Ruo hurriedly said, "Father Qing is not dead, and it is difficult to do it." ”
Mu Yanxi was slightly surprised, thinking to herself how Meng Ruo knew.
Meng Xiaochen glanced at his sister thoughtfully.
"The Emperor." Lu Yuchu's voice suddenly raised, which quickly attracted the eyes of several people who were talking, it turned out that Lu Yuchu was picking up a piece of cloth handed over by He Muhan, looking at it carefully, the mood fluctuations on his face were obvious, involving scars, and the expression on his face was even more hideous.
Mu Baichuan's eyes were sharp, and he recognized that this was the edict left by He Qingcang that was not allied with the Canglang Ministry, Mu Baichuan was puzzled in his heart, He Muhan didn't say a few words of greeting, what did it mean to take this edict of the first emperor to Lu Yuchu?
He Muhan waved his hand, and actually beckoned Lu Yuchu to sit in the vacated position of Ningxiang Hou, and said in a voice that had never been warmer than before, "I will stay for a few more days when I come back this time, Feng Ya often says that she misses his brother." ”
Feng Ya is Queen Lu's former maiden name, and now He Muhan is calling it like this, which obviously adds a bit of cordiality.
Lu Yuchu waved his hand, "The minister came back this time just to participate in the Qingcang meeting of the centenary of the establishment of Jinyang!" I have to rush back in a few days, and the situation in the south is too complicated now. ”
"Oh." He Muhan thought that this was in front of the public, so it was not appropriate to ask more, so he exchanged a few words of greeting at the moment, and then signaled the ceremony to continue.
Then there are some procedural ceremonies, and the highlight of the real Wenbi and Wubi will not be until the next day.
"Huh?" Mu Yanxi looked at the more and more people in the ring and asked, "Why hasn't He Nuo come yet?" ”
Meng Ruo and Meng Xiaochen both shook their heads and didn't know.
Mu Yanxi was a little anxious in her heart, "The game is about to start, He Nuo hasn't appeared yet, and Ning Xianghou hasn't arrived, neither of them is often late, and now they are collectively late, I don't know if it has anything to do with it."
Thinking of this, Mu Yanxi had a lot of thoughts in her heart, but she didn't know which one to grab, and stared at the position of the door, hoping that He Nuo would appear on time.
