Chapter 674: Plans can't keep up with the rapid changes
The canonization ceremony of the crown prince, which was originally scheduled for the first day of the second lunar month, will be brought forward to the twenty-eighth day of the first lunar month two days later!
At the same time, the emperor ordered that a copy of the Northern Yan Emperor's decree in Xiao Jingxian's hand be posted in the downtown area and widely publicized, and decided that after the ceremony of canonizing the crown prince, the Xuanlong general Yan Xu and Lanling County Gongyue Qianqiu personally escorted Xiao Jingxian to Bazhou, and ordered Liu Jingxuan to lead the army to escort Xiao Jingxian north. Before that, His Royal Highness the new crown prince of Dawu will go to the northern Xinjiang labor army on behalf of the emperor.
If it is said that the sound of horses' hooves in Jinling City last night had a clear and jaw-dropping answer at the court meeting, then, hearing about the emperor's two decisions, countless officials were in a trance after retreating from the court, or they were in a trance, or they were in a trance, or they were in a state of mind, or they sighed, or they were jubilant, or they were horrified...... The appearance of beings with different moods and moods is enough to become a landscape.
As the person concerned, Yue Qianqiu's emotions were not so much shocked as ridiculous, and they were definitely no less than any official. What made him even more depressed was that in the past, he begged to see the emperor for permission, but today he rushed to the vertical arch hall after he got to the next court, but what he was waiting for was Chen Wuliang with a smile.
"Ninth Prince, go back, the matter has been decided, you should also make good preparations."
Yue Qianqiu was still a little unwilling, and stopped Chen Wuliang, who was going back, with an arrow step, and said with a dead face: "Gonggong Chen, you don't want to know, what did I ask from Cheng Qianqian in exchange, and what did I ask?" β
Chen Wuliang stared at Yue Qianqiu's wide eyes for a long time, and finally smiled casually: "Ninth Prince, it's not the first time I've learned your audacity, although I am very surprised, but Du Bailou and your master are both facing you, so I naturally don't care about that matter." It's just that the emperor has made up his mind, and a mere Cheng Qianqian's secret is nothing. Not to mention ......"
He looked at Yue Qianqiu meaningfully, and his voice suddenly became extremely low: "Cheng Qianqian will also go with you." In addition, the children of Wuying Pavilion, the emperor meant, also went to appreciate the scenery of Beiyan. β
It's simply ...... Yue Qianqiu suppressed the countless alpacas in his heart and rushed there like joy, suppressed the dirty words that popped up to his mouth, and tried his best to take several breaths of air. But he still felt that his throat was dry and astringent, and he couldn't help but say after all: "Is the emperor sure that Xiao Jingxian will not be sent to Beiyan with a Bazhou army alone?" More precisely, sure it's not a trap or a trap? β
Chen Wuliang suddenly smiled: "Ninth Prince, the King of Jin was escorted from Beiyan by you with great difficulty, why don't you believe him now?" β
"I never believed in that demon!" Yue Qianqiu rubbed her temples irritably, and said stupidly, "I came back with him, and that's because there is no other choice...... At that time, the eldest uncle and the master both lost me, I don't believe who else can this guy trust? Besides, I'm thinking about getting him to Da Wu's territory, and he won't be a moth again, right? Outcome...... Scold! β
This word, without the slightest joy and joy, exhausted the endless resentment in Yue Qianqiu's heart.
Chen Wuliang could naturally hear it, but he just patted Yue Qianqiu's arm lightly as if comforting, and then said with a smile: "All in all, Liu Jingxuan, the general of the country, has a strong mind, and you are all the pillars of the country in the future, the emperor will not let people be sent to death, not to mention His Royal Highness." But in two days, we will have to change our name to His Royal Highness the Prince. β
Although he was uneasy, he said everything he could say at the moment, and Yue Qianqiu could only shut up. But seeing that Chen Wuliang turned around and went back, he suddenly asked again: "Gonggong Chen, then I can always go to the Baofu Palace, right?" β
Chen Wuliang narrowed his eyes, and then sighed without looking back: "What do you want to do, I know, at this time, His Royal Highness the King of England should indeed have someone to talk to him, but he is the one who will be the prince or even the emperor in the future, and he can't always rely on others, so at this time, instead of you to explain, it is better to let him calm down and think about it." β
Faced with such an unmistakable refusal, Yue Qianqiu had no choice but to accept it. It's just that before leaving, he still arched his hand to Chen Wuliang, and when he turned around and left the palace, although he didn't look around, those eyes that looked at him were too much, even if he didn't pay attention to it, it was difficult to ignore it. Obviously, it was all caused by the Lanling County Duke who was sealed by the emperor.
You must know that there are only two grades left on this title, the county prince and the national prince, and then you can only be crowned king!
He could guess what others would thinkβdidn't the fourth wife of the Yue family insist on being a princess? Now, the emperor directly favors his grandson, which saves trouble. God knows that he will definitely not be the grandson of the emperor, because Princess Ping'an is the daughter of Emperor Beiyan at all......
Although he should go home as soon as possible at this moment, he must have spread to the Wuying Pavilion when he thought of today's huge earthquake. Compared with the well-informed Yue family, there is more than one Dinghai Divine Needle, and he has to appease the young boys and girls first, so he rushed to the Wuying Pavilion as soon as he left the palace.
But he hurried all the way, and he had to control the speed of the horse not to be too outrageous, and finally rushed to the door of the Wuying Pavilion, and before he could get off the horse, he saw a few attendants in the middle crowd an extremely familiar middle-aged man came out. Recognizing that it was Chen Mo, the godson of Chen Wuliang, who had always served the emperor in the vertical arch hall, he jumped off the horse and went up directly.
"The Ninth Prince is fine." After bending down with a smile, without waiting for Yue Qianqiu to speak, Chen Mo took the initiative to explain, "I was ordered to deliver the decree. Sect Master Zhou had replaced the ninth prince as the chairman of the board of directors for so long, and this time he worked hard to protect His Royal Highness the King and the prince of King Jia, and the emperor named the founder of Jiangling County, the sect master of Zhou, with 1,200 households and 200 households. β
Yue Qianqiu was really stunned at this time.
The title of this year is really not so rare, the civil officials are old, and most of them will get a title that is only one generation, for example, his grandfather, who is as cunning as a nine-tailed fox, was named a marquis in the early years of the Hubu Shangshu, and after a long time, he was named a county duke, and later when he was the second minister, he was named the county duke of Jiangning, and then he was named the duke of Yue Guo - he still wondered if it was because his grandfather's surname was Yue......
However, most people can't think of this kind of thing at all unless they set up a ceremonial guard or worship their ancestors, because it's useless.
For example, he didn't remember what the titles of Ye Guanghan and Yu Jianzhong were, and Pei Xu's titles were even more forgotten.
But even if it is not rare, outside of the third class of Bo Zinan, Hou Hegong is still relatively few. Now that the emperor's title is in large quantities, give him one first, and give Zhou Jiyue one, but how will those people in the third division feel? Yan Xu would never be jealous of his apprentice, but what about the others? It's better to give Zhou Jiyue one, which can be regarded as a benchmark for martial arts, what is he going to do?
How can this make people who are guarding and fighting on the front line embarrassed?
Thinking so in his heart, Yue Qianqiu's reaction was half a beat slower than usual. And that Chen Mo is no better than the other servants around him, before he came, he knew that Yue Qianqiu was going to be knighted today, although he was obviously in a daze at this time, he still arched his hand and said: "Anyway, I haven't congratulated the ninth prince yet, from now on, you will be the prince of Lanling County!" β
Yue Qianqiu came back to his senses at this time, and saw that the people behind Chen Mo were all full of envy, jealousy and hatred, and his heart moved, and he immediately stepped forward and dragged Chen Mo aside.
Without waiting for Chen Mo to ask, he asked in a low voice: "Since you knew the news of my title before you came out, then let me ask you, do you know why the emperor suddenly gave me such a title?" β
Chen Mo didn't expect Yue Qianqiu to inquire about this, and immediately regretted that he might as well slip away with a few clichΓ©s just now. He was about to perfunctory this question, but Yue Qianqiu stared at him stubbornly, he could only quickly glance at the little eunuchs who were with him, and then smiled bitterly.
"The Ninth Prince asked me, and I really don't know. I only vaguely heard that the emperor suddenly said it to his godfather, and the godfather was very approving at that time, and later asked the old lady Yue, so the matter was settled. β
For the answer to this first question, although Yue Qianqiu was not satisfied, he also knew that he couldn't ask anything if he pursued it, so he immediately asked step by step: "What about the title of Lanling County Duke?" My family is the Baimen Yue clan, whether it is Shangyuan, Jurong, Lishui, or Liyang, it is more reasonable than Qinghe, isn't it? β
"This ......" Chen Mo wanted to say that he didn't know, but Yue Qianqiu's eyes turned sharply for a moment, and the gaze like substance suddenly pierced his heart, so that the sentence he didn't want to say finally came out of his mouth.
"I vaguely heard His Royal Highness King Jin say yesterday that his ancestor was from Lanling County, Lanling County......"
Yue Qianqiu almost sweared. You Xiao Jingxian are from Lanling County, Lanling County, what does it matter to me? However, as soon as his attention shifted, Chen Mo shuddered suddenly, and suddenly came back to his senses.
Finding that Chen Mo was looking at him in shock and anger, Yue Qianqiu didn't know that he had just used a little mental oppression method and was found out, so he simply smiled and said, "Gonggong Chen, don't panic, you don't know anything, and I don't know anything." β
Although he didn't believe Yue Qianqiu's words, he said everything he should say and shouldn't say, Chen Mo could only sigh that he was unlucky, and after arching his hand listlessly, he immediately led a group of subordinates to quickly slip away.
As for Yue Qianqiu, who finally found out a little information, when he walked into the Wuying Pavilion, his face was naturally black. However, the next moment, he saw a figure as agile as an ape suddenly rushing in front of him, and shouted happily: "Brother Yue Jiu, Sect Master Zhou will be the Hou Ye in the future!" β
Seeing that it was a little monkey, Yue Qianqiu pulled the corners of his mouth and wanted to show a smile, but unfortunately failed. Of course, the little monkey who hurriedly came over to report the good news would not miss this subtle change in expression, and he knew that he was speechless for a while, so he hurriedly comforted: "Brother Yue Jiu, you are a manly man, and you will have a chance in the future, so you don't need to compare with Sect Master Zhou now......"
Seeing that many people were pouring out at this time, like Song Pujia and Xiao Jingjing, who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, with a kind ridicule on their faces, Yue Qianqiu couldn't help but make a small move and threw the little monkey out. Seeing a strange scream, after a gentle and clever turn in the volley, he landed steadily, and he shouted angrily: "There will be a chance in the future, I will also seal the Duke of Lanling County today!" β
Hey?
In an instant, there was a shock, and even Zhou Jiyue, who had long expected that Yue Qianqiu would not be jealous of him because of the so-called knighthood, couldn't help but take a light breath, and became more and more confused about today's so-called canonization.
Although she once walked the rivers and lakes in the name of a man, but now it would be fine if she was still Zhou Jiyun, but now that she has recovered her daughter, the title of the founding marquis of Jiangling County is simply unimaginable. If she made military achievements, the princes of the court would probably be able to accept a female marquis, but her achievements this time are completely incomparable with military achievements.
She can be a marquis, what about the soldiers who fought bloodily on the frontier? Such an unfair reward is really boring!
Thinking of this, Zhou Jiyue didn't hesitate anymore and walked quickly towards Yue Qianqiu. But before she could speak, Yue Qianqiu had already taken the lead in asking, "In addition to the decree just now, did he say anything else?" β
The little monkey was annoyed that he was spending the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and when he heard this question at this moment, he hurriedly replied: "Brother Yue Jiu, that father-in-law just passed the decree with a smile, and Sect Master Zhou had the intention to refuse, but he said that the monarch's order could not be violated. He only said the scene, such as how the emperor values Sect Master Zhou, how he values the people of our Wuying Pavilion, and there is no other honest word. β
Yue Qianqiu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "He didn't even say why he was a marquis?" β
Got a definite nod from the little monkey in reply, goodbye all the faces around were very curious, Yue Qianqiu glanced at Zhou Jiyue, saw her shook her head, thinking that with her caution, she must not have mentioned yesterday's events to anyone before, so he clapped his hands, motioned for everyone to come over, and then cleared his throat.
"Today, the DPRK and China have announced a few things, and I will tell you about them first."
Yue Qianqiu did not follow the order, but first talked about the assassination of the Northern Yan Emperor. Although this matter has been ordered by the emperor to post the so-called holy decree of the Emperor of Beiyan, but the matter has not yet had time to be done, of course, everyone in the Wuying Pavilion does not know, and there is a commotion at the moment.
At this time, he continued to talk about the life-and-death battle in the Jiawang Mansion yesterday. It's just that when it came to the most critical time in that tough battle, he suddenly stopped, so that the anxious Xiao Jingjing couldn't help but shout: "Yue Qianqiu, what are you selling, and what happened later?" β
"Later, Lou Yingchang died."
Saying this sentence dryly, seeing that a group of girls were so angry that they wanted to come up and beat people, Yue Qianqiu glanced at Zhou Jiyue, who was frowning and puzzled, and then repeated what the emperor said before he was knighted today, and at this moment, everyone suddenly exploded.
"Brother Yue Jiu, you actually killed Lou Yingchang!"
"What do you call him killed! Obviously, Lou Yingchang was forced to advance and retreat because of the rumors we let go, so he ran to the Jiawang Mansion to hijack the royal family, which made Jiu Gongzi pick up a big bargain! β
"But the person was killed by Brother Yue Jiu......"
"Didn't you hear the holy decree when you crowned Sister Zhou before? The praise is that Sister Zhou is a traitor for the country and kills the northern captives. Since there are so many words, Lou Yingchang must have been killed by Sister Zhou, and Jiugongzi estimated that it was a credit for plundering the formation! β
Seeing that the little monkey and Song Pujia were arguing-for-tat, Yue Qianqiu looked at Zhou Jiyue, and when he saw her face full of astonishment, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and spread his hands, and then coughed heavily: "Okay, stop arguing!" In fact, although Ji Yue and I worked very hard and worked hard yesterday, to be honest, Lou Yingchang was not killed by the two of us, and he was forced to commit suicide! β
Faced with such an answer, everyone accepted it a little stronger, and only Zhou Jiyue was still a little puzzled by the efforts of burying Yan Xu and Chen Wuliang to defeat the enemy. However, what Yue Qianqiu said next made her care about the battle for credit.
"The holy decree of the Northern Yan Emperor taken out by the King of Jin, the emperor has ordered it to be posted everywhere in Jinling City, and he will escort the King of Jin to Bazhou on the same day and return to Northern Yan from there. This time, His Royal Highness the King of England will also go to the labor army, of course, he has to canonize the crown prince before leaving. Most importantly, each of us is going. This happened suddenly, and I knew that everyone was not mentally prepared, so I ......"
Yue Qianqiu hadn't finished saying this, but suddenly he didn't know who took the lead, and many people were cheering, not to mention the elation! At that moment, who still remembers that they were still fighting a war of public opinion before, and there were only four words in everyone's hearts.
Make a difference!
