Chapter 46: Soberness
The next day, it was not yet dawn on the fifth watch. The sky was shining with sparse stars.
The princes and ministers had to crawl out of the bed on the fourth watch, and they stood obediently under the court waiting for the emperor to come to the court before the fifth watch.
The palace gate slowly opened, and the Imperial Forest Army stood in two compartments with all their arms in force, vacating the street facing the Qianqing Gate, and the civil and military officials lined up separately and slowly entered. Every official was solemn and solemn.
"Going to court." Gonggong Zhang stood on top of the court hall and shouted quite imposingly.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." The ministers of civil and military affairs above the court knelt on the ground neatly and shouted loudly.
"Zhong Aiqing is flat!" Emperor Yuanjie wore a bright yellow robe, the robe was embroidered with the pattern of the dragon of the sea, under the turbulent golden waves at the corner of the robe, the sleeves were carried high by the wind, the long eyebrows were slightly raised, the black jade-like pupils flashed with a warm brilliance, and the handsome face reflected the morning light, with the majesty of the gods and the innate nobility, the whole person emitted a kind of king air that shocked the world.
"Long live thanks!" The ministers in the palace stood on both sides, the civil officials stood on the left, and the military attachés stood on the right. The first on the left is generally the prime minister, and the first on the right is generally the captain, and they are ranked according to their official positions.
"Zhong Aiqing, who has the book to play." Emperor Yuanjie, sitting on the dragon chair, watched intently, the ministers standing in the main hall.
"You don't have anyone to play, then I'll tell you." The emperor's gaze swept over the ministers and slammed the Buddhist beads in his hand to the ground. With a snap, the Buddha beads suddenly fell apart, making a crisp sound on the ground.
"The emperor is angry." The ministers knelt on the ground in a panic, not daring to breathe, for fear that they would cause the emperor's dissatisfaction and thus condemn themselves.
"Just last night, right under my nose, there was a man who stabbed me, and you said, 'What use do I want you to do?'" Emperor Yuanjie gritted his teeth and his eyes flashed with uncontrollable anger, like an enraged lion. I saw that his face was flushed, his eyebrows were twisted into pimples, and even the green tendons on his arms could be seen clearly.
"Gu Fengyan." The Emperor said in a dull voice.
"The minister is here." Gu Fengyan crawled out of the group of ministers. Gu Fengyan was the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, which is equivalent to the modern Supreme Court, and is in charge of the trial of prison cases. Dali Temple set up two Shaoqing, from the four products.
"I ordered you and Yan Rusheng to investigate this matter within ten days, otherwise you two will come to see you."
"Minister." Gu Fengyan and Yan Rusheng returned in unison.
"You all get up, Gonggong Zhang will bring the things to the ministers." At this time, the ministers noticed that there were two little eunuchs behind Gonggong Zhang, and each eunuch was holding a wooden box containing something.
After a cup of tea, the ministers looked at the paper in their hands, their expressions were different, some were puzzled, some were excited.
"Your Majesty, this paper is very different from what we see on weekdays, it is lighter, I wonder if it can be written? How much does it cost? Shiyanyu, the head of the household, looked at the paper in his hand and said excitedly and curiously.
"Shi Aiqing, the cost of this paper is very low, as for whether to write, you can open the paper and take a look."
Hubu Shangshu and the ministers hurriedly opened the paper, and the handwriting inside the paper was clear, and there was still a faint fragrance of residual ink.
Printed on the inside of the paper is the three-character scripture written by Chen Yi.
"Your Majesty, the content in this paper is so easy to understand, three words and one sentence, rhyme, catchy, because its words are popular, smooth, and easy to remember, I don't know if the author of this article is written by that great Confucian?"
"Your Majesty thinks that if you are familiar with the three-character scripture, you can know the affairs of the world and pass the saint's ceremony, if your majesty can promote the three-character scripture a thousand times, thousands of students will pass the saint's ceremony, which is the blessing of the great yuan." Shangshu's left servant shot Yelu Churen said impassionedly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, how should I reward those who write the Three Character Sutra?"
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that it can be divided into Chaosan Doctor." Doctor Chaosan has no actual official power from the five grades, and belongs to the Wensan officials, and belongs to the people who take the imperial grain and do nothing. Emperor Yuanjie looked at the ministers below, Doctor Chaosan didn't seem to be bad, and he wanted a young man like Chenyi to hone more.
"Retreat." Gonggong Zhang saw the emperor's gesture to himself, and hurriedly shouted.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." After the emperor withdrew, the ministers left each other.
Chen Yi slowly opened his eyes, and what greeted him was a pink curtain, and the twilight was slightly cool. Overhead is a tassel that sways gently in the wind. From time to time, there was a burst of rosewood wafting in the air, and the couch was next to the window, and the delicate carving was made of wood.
Outside the window, there is a beautiful scene, rockery, small pond, blue lotus root, pink water lotus. From time to time, a little maid passed by, but the footsteps were very soft, and the sound of conversation was also very soft.
The left side of the room is separated by a screen, the screen is transparent and delicate, and from a distance, these clusters of flowers are blooming brightly, as if they are competing for beauty, but they don't know that there is a spring light behind them; Looking at this screen up close, the carving is so detailed that people can't help but think about it. You can vaguely see a beaded piano, full in shape, black lacquer, with fine flowing water. Jade emblem, jade palm, jade foot, dragon pond round, phoenix swamp rectangle.
I moved my body uncomfortably, but I found that I was covered with gorgeous cloud silk, like water-colored ripples under my body, always soft but also very thin. Someone was lying on the side of his bed, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be Luo Xiaodie, and looked at Luo Xiaodie who was asleep, this girl should have taken care of herself all night. My heart is warm.
Luo Xiaodie opened her hazy eyes and was overjoyed to see that Chenyi had woken up.
"Fluttershy, you shouldn't be taking care of me all night. Do you like me? Chen Yi said with a triumphant smile.
"You lie down first, and I'll serve you medicine." What a stinky Chenyi, I didn't expect my aunt and grandmother to take care of you for a night, without even a word of thanks, look at how I clean you up.
After Luo Xiaodie walked out of the house, Chen Yi frowned, thinking about what happened last night? From the wolf attack, to the assassination last night? Could it be those people who want to be disadvantageous to the lord of Luochuan County, who actually holds the monarch's power, is it the emperor? Or is it an enemy?
"Liang'er, you go and tell my brother, Chenyi has woken up, I'll help you look at the medicine first, and when the medicine is hot, I'll bring it over."
Liang'er walked out of the pharmacy full of doubts, could it be that the young lady really liked Chenyi Gongzi.
After Xiaohong left, Luo Xiaodie secretly took out the bitter herb from her arms and put it in the pot where the medicine was boiled. Bitter grass is a kind of grass, which has no medicinal value, and is named because of bitterness, so it is called bitter grass.
Thinking about Chen Yi and the others' expressions of drinking medicine, he laughed happily.
"Miss, what are you laughing at? Is it because of the matter of Chen Yi Gongzi? ”
"Miss Ben is happy, Liang'er is waiting for the medicine, after boiling a cup of tea, you are taking out the medicine and sending it to Prince Chenyi." Luo Xiaodie hurriedly suppressed her smile and said earnestly.
