Chapter 627: The King and the Minister
After all, the old lady Yue is going to the court, and the first and fifteenth days of the first month are full of officials, and there are even officials such as Taishou to meet him, so as the prime minister, even if he sleeps for less than an hour at night, he has to use a bowl of ginseng soup and hurry out. He only left one sentence for the silk book that Yue Ying picked up from the bracelet.
"Don't disbelieve, don't believe it all...... I'll talk about it when I get back. ”
Compared with Yue Ying, who had a solemn face, Yue Qianqiu was stunned for a while, but he was smiling brightly.
"I know, where did I get so much blood-filled thunderous background, it turned out to be an ordinary person! It couldn't be better. If you look back and find a master of counterfeiting to change this silk book, you will say that I am an orphan who Queen Beiyan doesn't know where to get it, and I threw it out as a trick, and there will be physical evidence! ”
He shrugged his shoulders as he spoke, then strode out without looking back and said, "Uncle Ying, toss all night, you can also make up for sleep!" I also forgot to tell you before, Master said that it is better to choose a day than to hit the sun, and today you will pass on the position of the head of the Xuandao Hall to me, you have to give me the courage to fight the battle, otherwise what if a troublemaker comes? I'll go to sleep first, and I'll see you later! ”
Yue Ying heard the prestige, only to see Yue Qianqiu walking chic, his back was straight, from the back he didn't see the darkness of last night, but looked vibrant, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that he had watched Yue Qianqiu grow up since he was a child, and sure enough, he didn't see the wrong person at all, that is a person who doesn't care about blood and life experience at all.
As for going to the Xuandao Hall...... Yan Xu is likely to invite the emperor, and the emperor will definitely bring in three prime ministers. The old lady Yue has gone, how can he not go?
Compared with Yue Qianqiu's relieved clouds and fog dissipating, the mood of the old lady who went to the court was obviously much more complicated. Those five words don't just have one explanation - combined with the silk book and letter that were also in Ding An's handwriting before, if Empress Beiyan had two children by her side on the day she gave birth, would these five words of Ding An mean that Li Yiming was also not the son of Empress Beiyan?
If that's the case, Li Yiming's background is more than just suspicious. A child who is most likely not of the bloodline of the Great Wu Emperor, but is not of the bloodline of the Northern Yan Emperor, is about to become the prince of the Great Wu, this is not just a matter of confusing the bloodline of the imperial family.
And King Jia's suspicion in the matter of Yangzhou Cheng's this time, as well as the boldness of recruiting Cheng Qianqian as the female doctor of the palace, are completely different from the previous cautious and cautious royal family who refused to go more than one step and refused to say a word, is this accidental?
Thinking of these, the old lady naturally wandered. Fortunately, at this time, he was just waiting for the dynasty to arrange his shift in front of the three bridges on the royal river, and Ye Guanghan behind him asked softly, "What's the matter with you?" The eyes are as red as rabbits, I heard yesterday that you entered the palace overnight, could it be that you didn't sleep all night? ”
"Almost." Old lady Yue replied a little unenergetically, but at this moment, he heard Yu Jianzhong's voice.
"Yue Xiang, I heard that this afternoon, Yan Xu is going to officially pass on the position of the head of the Xuandao Hall to your little grandson Qianqiu, didn't you enter the palace overnight to persuade the emperor to go to the Xuandao Hall on the Stone Mountain to have a show?"
"What?" Old lady Yue turned her head suddenly and looked at Yu Jianzhong in amazement. Seeing that his reaction to himself was quite surprised, he couldn't help but rub his eyebrows and scolded this stinky boy, and then said helplessly, "There have been a lot of things recently, I haven't paid much attention to this kid, and it's the first time I've heard of what you said." Yan Xu is here today? I'll settle accounts with him when I get back! ”
Only then did Ye Guanghan and Yu Jianzhong know that Old Lady Yue was really kept in the dark, and they couldn't help but look at each other for a while. However, now it can be regarded as the Xuandao Hall of the pension camp for the children of the soldiers who died in the Great Wu Army, and it is just a small matter in their eyes to change from a master to an apprentice.
Yu Jianzhong smiled and said: "Yan Xu is now General Xuanlong, and the dynasty is always coming." Even if you can rely on the old man and beat him, I'm afraid he won't even blink an eyelid! But it's okay, to be honest, Qianqiu is more reliable than his master Yan Xu in some things. ”
And the other high-ranking officials around who heard this, some ridiculed, some sighed, and some ridiculed...... All in all, a matter that might have been heard of counting, but because Yu Jianzhong said it on such an occasion, it aroused extraordinary attention, so that even Yan Xu, who was at the back of the queue, had many people inquiring with great interest.
By the way, since taking over as General Xuanlong, the eldest prince of Yan, who has never been troublesome, has evolved from not having to go to the court to attending the court meeting on the Shuowang Day. It's just that he is unscrupulous in front of his acquaintances, but for the people he doesn't like, that cold style is still not close to people.
This day's dynasty is not as good as Zhengdan, although it is grand, but when the hundred officials enter the station through the three bridges, the emperor arrives to ascend to the throne, and the next meeting, His Majesty's speech, recital, and so on, the whole is just more than half an hour.
Because it was the imperial palace, the older high-ranking officials were able to enter the palace and avoid the cold wind howling from the outside world, while those who were old but had low official positions could only suffer from the cold outside. Fortunately, after the end, Chen Wuliang personally led the chamberlain to bring bowls of hot red soup and ginger soup, which somewhat drove away the cold.
As for the three prime ministers of the political hall, they were invited into the vertical arch hall after the dispersal of the dynasty, and as soon as they sat down, the chamberlain brought three bowls of steaming Lantern Festival with a smile on their faces. Among them, although Ye Guanghan and Yu Jianzhong were also high-ranking officials at the level of Shangshu before, it was the first time that they were here as prime ministers on the day of the Lantern Festival, so they were a little hesitant after taking over the hand.
However, when he saw that the old lady Yue had already eaten and chewed as if no one was around, the other two prime ministers who were born in a scholarly family and a big family couldn't help but be dumbfounded. And what made the two even more unexpected was that Yan Xu actually swaggered in, and when he looked around, he found that the three prime ministers were holding bowls, so he laughed and said: "Since the emperor still wants to summon the three prime ministers, then I will come back later." Since there is a Lantern Festival, I will go to the imperial dining room to eat a few bowls to cushion my stomach. ”
After he finished speaking, if no one turned around and left, several attendants could not stop him, so he could only look at each other. When the emperor came in from behind and asked why General Xuanlong hadn't arrived yet, they were even more trembling and didn't know how to answer.
At this time, the old lady Yue had already eliminated a bowl of six Lantern Festival as quickly as possible, his stomach was full, and his body was warm, so he said calmly: "Your Majesty, Yan Xu has rarely participated in the Great Dynasty Station for so long, and I saw that the three of us old guys were eating Lantern Festival, although I saw that they originally left him a portion there, but his appetite was probably not enough, so he went to the imperial dining room to buy some food to cushion his stomach." ”
The emperor immediately laughed and scolded the unruly boy, but after scolding, he waved his hand and retreated from the servants with a pleasant face, and then said to Ye Guanghan and Yu Jianzhong: "The two Aiqing eat first and then speak." In this cold season, I stood for so long, I was cold and hungry, and I sacrificed to the Five Organs Temple first. ”
Even if Ye Guanghan and Yu Jianzhong didn't have such a good appetite as the old lady, they couldn't refuse at this time, and when they waited for the six Lantern Festival, the two of them only felt that their mouths were full of black sesame crumbs, and they couldn't wait to have a bitter tea to relieve their greasy first. Fortunately, there was a waiter who brought tea in a moment, and the two of them didn't care about the loss of etiquette in front of the emperor, so they served it first, but before they could drink it, they were smoked by the fragrance of flowers in the entrance and almost frowned.
But for those who love to drink tea, most of them hate flower tea the most! The rich floral aroma almost conceals the aroma of tea!
But at this time, even if it is a hated flower tea, it is better than the sweetness left over from the six Lantern Festivals, and Ye Guanghan and Yu Jianzhong can only frown and bring the tea bowl to their mouths. The next moment, they had to rejoice that the old lady Yue was moving faster than them, because the old man took a big sip, and then rinsed his mouth loudly, while a little chamberlain brought a gargle.
Although the two of them did not eat food in the palace, they both walked after eating and thanked them, and they really had never eaten something as difficult to deal with as the sesame Lantern Festival, so at this moment, although the two of them had palpitations because they almost made a fool of themselves, they had no place to complain.
Fortunately, the work of cleaning up was finally over, and when the tea was served again, it was the kind they often drank, with a slight bitterness in the light tea, and finally the sweetness in the mouth. And it was only then that they heard the words of the emperor.
"The prime minister's Lantern Festival was given to the Lantern Festival, and the ministers were given brown sugar ginger soup, which was reminded by Yue Qing last year. He said that it was originally Qianqiu's proposal, getting up early to prepare for the court and then to the end, at least two hours, no matter how much he ate, he could digest it, and the older people were easy to get dizzy and faint if they were not good. It's cold and hungry, and a bowl of sweet can lift my spirits, and I think it makes sense. This flower tea rinse is also a fresh breath and makes people feel happy, and I think it is very good after trying it. ”
It turns out that it's not that we are lonely and unheard, it's all caused by you the older man! No, it's your grandson who caused it!
Ye Guanghan and Yu Jianzhong invariably glared at the old lady Yue, only to see that the initiator was still smiling, and seemed to be very proud of the emperor's praise.
At this time, they suddenly remembered that it was rumored that the old lady Yue loved sweets, but as she got older, the eldest daughter-in-law of the family did not do much to do it, and advised that she should not eat more sweets for the sake of health.
No matter how much they slander, the Lantern Festival they eat will not become salty. And the next words that the emperor said also dispelled their little resentment, because fighting for the next thing is more important than fighting for that.
"I'm going to go to the Xuandao Hall to have a good time, and the three Aiqing will go together."
Just now I discussed this matter before the last dynasty, but now the old lady Yue didn't mention it, but the emperor took the initiative to say it, Ye Guanghan suddenly frowned: "Your Majesty, the place in Stone Mountain is remote, and besides, what a guard of honor the Son of Heaven is when he travels, and he is not prepared in a hurry, and he ...... alarmed."
"I didn't plan to be so popular. Ah Xu will take the people of the Xuanlong Division to follow, and the children on the side of the Wuying Pavilion will also be dispatched, as my guards, plus the imperial guards and the Wu Desi, Du Bailou will personally follow, unless the soldiers and horses in the city rebel, who can do anything to me under such a strict guard? ”
Seeing that Ye Guanghan's face was not very good-looking, Yu Jianzhong also seemed to disagree, so the emperor said arbitrarily: "This matter is decided." What's more, something else will happen when you turn around, and if the three prime ministers are not there, there will inevitably be difficulties. ”
The emperor was so rigid today, and Yu Jianzhong was also very surprised. Seeing that the old lady Yue did not have a happy expression, but also looked reluctant, he was about to speak, but there was a voice from outside the door from General Xuanlong asking to see him. As the emperor nodded slightly, Yan Xu came in from outside the door, and he saw that the nephew of the Son of Heaven said with a smile: "Has the emperor decided to appreciate the light?" ”
"Ah Xu, I forcibly pulled three prime ministers for you, if you stab Lou Zi at that time, you have to come and see you!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Yan Xu immediately agreed, but a smug smile appeared on his face.
And after the old lady Yue walked out of the vertical arch hall with a calm face, he ignored the strange sights of Ye Guanghan and Yu Jianzhong, and directly sent a familiar chamberlain to help him go to the Yuefu guards who were waiting at the gate of the palace to send a message home to Yue Qianqiu. It was only when he was passing the word that he muttered for a while, and then he said something like this.
"Let him tell Qianqiu to clean up a little bit decently, so that he is going to be the head of the house, don't make people laugh! I didn't sleep well last night, so I'll pour a bowl of ginseng soup at this time. Besides, there is a lantern festival tonight, and he promised those friends in the Wuying Pavilion, don't yawn and sweep away other people's temperament! The emperor and we will go, this also tells him. ”
As soon as he said this, Yan Xu had already come over: "Old lady, I just met Ying Xiaopang, and he said that he would go too." ”
Old lady Yue glanced at Yan Xu angrily: "The emperor is gone, what is one more person?" You just don't provoke Xiao Jingxian together! ”
As soon as these words came out, Yan Xu's expression was not so natural. He really wasn't sure to stop Xiao Jingxian! He was distracted, but he didn't notice that the waiter had already gone away, and he was also caught by Yue Qianqiu, who was quickly pulled by the old lady Yue.
"For such a big thing, you didn't tell me earlier, huh? What are you going to do, thinking I don't know? Isn't it a plan to kill two birds with one stone, but have you ever thought about it, the praying mantis catches cicadas and the yellow finch is behind, and there may be a hunter with a slingshot behind the yellow finches, you are so big that you can grasp every link without making mistakes? ”
Yan Xu was plucked by the eldest princess of Dongyang in this life, that is, when he was a child, and now he is so ugly in public, he is depressed and crazy, and it is the first time that he has experienced the feelings of Yue Qianqiu in the past. He was about to cheer up and quickly explain, but the old lady had already let go of his hand, and then put his hands in his sleeves, his eyes staring at him.
"The thing that Qianqiu showed you, Xiaoying also got the same thing from another line. Since there is the first and second letters, there are the third and fourth ones...... Or even thousands. Last night, Xiaoying and Qianqiu found something absolutely bizarre. ”
Old lady Yue hooked his hand and signaled Yan Xu to come over, and when Yan Xu, who was full of shock, hesitated and put his ear in front of him, he repeated those five words as fast as he could, and then pushed Yan Xu's head away.
Seeing that the person was already stupid, he said angrily: "Today is your temporary idea, but it is not you who know that it is better to choose a day than to hit the day." Be prepared, a lot of things are likely to come together! ”
