Chapter 116: Chinese New Year's Eve 1
Najib's gift has passed, which is equivalent to a marriage, and if nothing else, this marriage is inevitable!
Of course, there are a lot of things to prepare for the emperor's wedding, and as for the later big march, invitation, and welcome ceremony, it will not be held until the first half of next year! In addition, there is also a canonization before Fengying, and the status of the queen of Zheyue should be officially given!
However, Zhao Chen himself has no interest in these things! Moreover, he is an emperor, and he doesn't have to worry about these things at all!
Since Najib, Zhao Chen's life has returned to the way it was, and he is still working as a carpenter every day! Occasionally, he would go out hunting, and every time he hunted, he would temporarily live in Changchun Guan and learn martial arts from his master Wang Chongyang! In this way, unconsciously, his martial arts have reached the level of the seventh layer of the day after tomorrow! For Zhao Chen's progress so fast, Wang Chongyang was also surprised! In Wang Chongyang's opinion, Zhao Chen should be because of the ape clothes, plus washing the marrow and cutting the hair, so he can enter the country so quickly!
When it was the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Zhao Chen went out hunting again!
He rode the jade lion horse in the night and galloped in the cold wind, and he was in a very good mood! Just now, he killed a black bear, and just now there were soldiers who transported the black bear to the palace!
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, we have bear's paws to eat on Chinese New Year's Eve!" Lin Bao followed behind Zhao Chen and said with a smile.
Zhao Chen laughed and said, "Go!" Let's go to Changchun! ”
In the afternoon, they came to Changchun Temple, this time Zhao Chen and Ma Yu sat in front of Wang Chongyang together, and followed Wang Chongyang to learn Taoism!
It wasn't until dusk that Wang Chongyang stopped!
Zhao Chen said, "Master, tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, you and junior brother follow me to the palace, right?" The disciples only have these two relatives by their side, if you refuse to spend Chinese New Year's Eve with me, it will be too lonely! ”
Before Wang Chongyang could speak, Ma Yu had already said excitedly: "Okay, okay, let's follow Senior Brother to the palace for Chinese New Year's Eve!" ”
Ma Yu's face was full of excitement, since he came to Hanzhong, Ma Yu has not been to the palace! He was only a six-year-old child, and he was extremely yearning for the legendary palace!
"It's okay, let's go to the palace together tomorrow!" Wang Chongyang said.
Hearing Wang Chongyang's words, Zhao Chen was overjoyed! Anyway, he is a teenager, and he also has a sense of dependence on his elders psychologically! And Wang Chongyang is his only elder now! Wang Chongyang was willing to go to the palace, and his mood was naturally happy!
"Senior brother, I heard that you are going to get married soon?" Ma Yu said.
"That big wedding can't be done!" Zhao Chen shook his head and said with a wry smile.
"Don't do this in front of your senior brother in the future!" Wang Chongyang said.
Although Wang Chongyang doesn't care about politics, it doesn't mean that he doesn't have political wisdom! He also understands that this so-called "big wedding" is just a political need that can be sought, and Zhao Chen definitely has no expectations for this so-called "big wedding"!
Ma Yu stuck out his tongue and didn't say anything more at the moment!
This night, Zhao Chen lived in Changchun Guanzhong, and the next morning, he took Wang Chongyang, Ma Yu and others towards the palace together!
*** ***
It had been sunny for a month, but by the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, it was snowing heavily at noon!
The sky was so gloomy that it almost seemed to be pressed down from above!
In just one hour, the palace was already covered with snow!
Zhao Chen and Ma Yu are running around the palace and playing games together! Zhao Chen found many guards to accompany Ma Yu to play hide and seek, and Ma Yu was excited!
Seeing Ma Yu's appearance, Zhao Chen smiled! This junior brother is innocent, but he is a real child, which is very different from him!
"If only I could be as happy as my junior brother!" Zhao Chen said secretly.
At this moment, in addition to them playing games, the palace is also full of people, countless guards bring countless wine, meat and food to the Baohe Palace, today Zhao Chen is going to feast the ministers here!
In the afternoon, Ma Yu was tired of playing, Zhao Chen took him to see some of the carpentry work he was doing, Ma Yu looked at those exquisite woodworking products and was overjoyed, and said, "Senior brother, I also want to learn these!" ”
Lin Bao next to him had a smile on his face, thinking that children are really the same, Your Majesty likes carpentry, and Your Majesty's junior brother also likes carpentry!
"When I have time, I'll teach you slowly!" Zhao Chen laughed.
"Your Majesty, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, won't Your Majesty send some gifts to Miss Zhe?" Lin Bao said.
"You can arrange this matter!" Zhao Chen said lightly.
Lin Bao agreed, and immediately arranged this matter, not to mention it! Zhao Chen just frowned and didn't like it!
By the time it was time to get to the ground, the snow was getting heavier and the sky was dark!
Inside the palace, countless palace lamps have been lit! Not long after, the ministers entered the palace one after another!
In the imperial history, Cheng Han Ping, the Shangshu of the Six Ministries, the squire, the officials of the Privy Council, the officials of Hanzhong, and the officials specially called from the nearby state capital all entered the palace!
These ministers all came to the Baohe Hall and sat in their respective positions according to the size of their official positions!
After another while, Zhe Keqiu and Zhe Yanwen finally arrived!
Seeing the arrival of the two, the ministers of the Baohe Palace stood up one after another and saluted to Zheke!
He just arched his hand and sat down in the position closest to the throne!
Finally, Zhao Chen entered the palace accompanied by Lin Bao, Kang An and others!
Seeing Zhao Chen come in, all the ministers, including Zhi Keqiu, knelt on the ground one after another, and said, "See Your Majesty!" ”
"Let's all be flat! Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and I will spend Chinese New Year's Eve with all the ministers! Zhao Chen said with a smile.
The ministers stood up and sat back in their seats!
"This year, I ascended the throne in Hanzhong, thanks to all the ministers! I would like to give you a toast! Zhao Chen said with a smile.
He picked up his wine glass and stood up, and the ministers below had no choice but to stand up in a hurry and drink a glass of wine together, not to mention!
"The Jurchens are still eyeing us, my lord, this matter still depends on you!" Zhao Chen said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, there are Weichen here, and the Jurchens don't want to cross the Great Scattered Pass, and they don't want to enter Hanzhong!" Fold and seek the way.
"That's the best!" Zhao Chen said.
"Your Majesty is going to marry the beloved daughter of Lord Zhe, and from now on, Your Majesty and Lord Zhe will also be a family!" At this time, Han Ping stood up and said.
Hearing this, Zhao Chen nodded lightly and said, "Not bad!" From now on, I and Ori-sama are a family! ”
"From now on, Your Majesty will be the son-in-law of Lord Zhe!" Han Ping said again.
This time, Zhao Chen just nodded and did not reply.
"Your Majesty, as the son-in-law of Lord Zhe, today is the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, shouldn't Your Majesty kneel to your father-in-law?" Han Ping said with a smile on his face.
Hearing this, all the ministers in the Baohe Palace were stunned! Including the fold can be begged for are stunned!
In the feudal dynasties of ancient China, the status of the emperor was supreme! Even the puppet emperor has supremacy in name! From ancient times to the present, there has never been a reason for a reigning emperor to kneel to his courtiers! Even if this person is the emperor's father-in-law, it is impossible for the emperor to kneel! Don't say that the emperor will not kneel when facing his father-in-law, even the queens and concubines of the harem will never kneel when facing their father! As long as the queen and concubine enter the palace, they are the emperor's women, and their status is higher than that of their fathers, even if their fathers see them, they have to kneel!
Now Han Ping turned upside down and asked Zhao Chen to kneel and bow!
It's a great shame!
For a while, the Bohol Hall became extremely silent!
"Yes, Your Majesty should bow to Lord Zhe! Today, Your Majesty does not visit his courtiers as a king, but as a son-in-law! Wei Ming stood up and said.
"Lord Han, Lord Wei is right, Your Majesty can't miss etiquette today!" Another minister stepped forward!
"Yes, Your Majesty, you should salute Lord Fold!"
"Your Majesty must not be rude!"
……
More and more ministers stood up and said one after another.
Zhe Keqiu was a little stunned at first, but now, he has an excited look on his face, his eyes are firmly fixed on Zhao Chen, he wants to see what Zhao Chen will do next!
Zhao Chen's face has hardly changed much from the beginning to now! He always had a faint smile on his face, and even now, he still had that gentle faint smile on his face! Such moderation is weakness in the eyes of some ministers!
They didn't see that Zhao Chen's hand under the table was already tightly clenched, and the ivory chopsticks in his hand had been crushed by him!
Almost every minister stood up and asked Zhao Chen to ask for a "salute"!
Finally, Zhao Chen stood up, he walked down from above, came to the front of Zhe Keqiu, knelt down, and said, "I've seen my father-in-law!" ”
"Good! Good! Good! I laughed, and I was excited and proud to the extreme!
Although he is still a minister, not an emperor, the emperor has already kowtowed to him, a minister! From now on, this emperor will no longer have the slightest dignity and status in front of him! The ministers who saw this scene would no longer be in awe of this emperor, not even superficial awe! Such a waste emperor is no longer worthy of his slightest vigilance!
"I must really grasp the power, and I will be able to break the corpse into pieces!" Zhao Chen still had a gentle smile on his face, his head was lowered, but the resentment in his eyes could no longer be hidden!
"Your Majesty, we will be a family in the future, and when the year is over, I will plan the marriage well! I promise to make this marriage magnificent, so that the people of the world look up to and envy! In the future, this marriage will also be recorded in the annals of history, so that all generations will look at it! "Zhao Chen has returned to the throne, and at this time he can ask for the truth.
The previous three ceremonies of Nacai, asking for names, and Najib are all equivalent to marriage, and then they are really preparing for the wedding! That's why I say so!
"Thank you Aiqing!" Zhao Chen said.
At this moment, Zhao Chen is still sitting on the throne, but in the eyes of those ministers, Zhao Chen does not seem to be as "high" as he sat before! Before, whether Zhao Chen was a puppet emperor or not, they were all looking up to Zhao Chen, but at this moment they were looking at Zhao Chen at eye level or looking down on Zhao Chen! The ministers no longer taboo Zhao Chen, and they talked and laughed there one by one! It is only when they see what they can ask for that their gaze becomes awe-inspiring!
At this moment, even Lin Bao looked at Zhao Chen with a hint of mockery in his eyes! Such a young emperor, who has no power or power, no ability, no ability, and now his dignity is disgraced, he, a eunuch, looks down on Zhao Chen!
On the other hand, Kang An gritted his teeth tightly! Kang An used to be a subordinate of Zhekeqiu, but later he was forced by his mother to take refuge in Zhao Chen, and he had to go against Zhekeqiu! But anyway, he and Zhe Keqiu still have an incense relationship, but he didn't expect Zhe Keqiu to be so presumptuous! There is also that Han Ping in the imperial history, this person is also extremely vicious, in order to please him, he took the lead in forcing Zhao Chen to kneel!
"It's just presumptuous to the extreme! I'm in contact with the Imperial Battalion generals in the palace during this time! There are already dozens of people who are willing to pledge allegiance to His Majesty, and those people have also carved the words 'swear to kill the thief' on their backs! It's a pity that our strength is still too little, and we have to continue to develop! When it grows stronger, I will help His Majesty to kill this traitor! This traitor is simply lawless to the extreme! Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, the Emperor, and the Sovereign, you are just a courtier, you dare to really let Your Majesty kneel for you, and you are not afraid that you will not be able to bear it yourself! In the world, except for the Emperor Taishang and the dead royal ancestors, no one can force the emperor to kneel! Kang An said secretly.
At this moment, Kang Anxin also has a feeling of extraordinary shame! The king is worried about the minister's labor, the king humiliates the minister's death, Zhao Chen was insulted by this, but he could only stand aside, and his face became extremely red for a while! He gritted his teeth and looked outside, unwilling to look at the scene here!
Those ministers of the Bohol Hall laughed unscrupulously, and no one noticed the difference in Kang'an at all! Moreover, they didn't notice any difference in Zhao Chen!
Zhao Chen acted as if nothing had happened, his mood had calmed down! From Kaifeng Mansion to the present, how much suffering has been experienced along the way, and what is the little humiliation in front of you! A momentary victory is not a victory, the final victory is a victory! Zhao Chen doesn't fight for a momentary victory, he just needs the final victory!
"Your daughter is so beautiful and looks so pure! Originally, I still wanted to treat you and your daughter separately, but now it's okay, when I take power, you will be killed all over the house, and you can't let any of them go! Men and women, young and old, not one is left! Zhao Chen looked at the ministers below with a "gentle" gaze, but in his heart he was thinking about the cruel things they couldn't even dream of!
"On Chinese New Year's Eve, I don't know what Yue Fei and Li Gang are doing?" Zhao Chen poured himself a glass of wine and drank it, but he suddenly remembered Yue Fei, Li Gang and others in his heart!
