Chapter Twenty-Six: The Moon Flower Palace
Yuehua Palace, also known as the Moon Appreciation Tower, was built in the period of Xu Taizu and has a history of 100 years.
Over the past 100 years, the Yuehua Palace has been repaired and expanded by the kings of successive dynasties, and the scale has been increasing, until now, in addition to the imperial palace, the Yuehua Palace has been the tallest and magnificent building in Chang'an City.
Magnificent and magnificent.
Yuehua Palace, standing by the riverside, there is part of the water surface, looking at it from afar, it seems to be independent on the river, drifting with the waves.
The end is wonderful.
It's noon.
The crowd was surging, and in order to occupy a favorable position, they crowded forward.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites were not surprised, and they transferred thousands of troops to maintain order early.
"Don't squeeze, take care of the children, don't get lost!"
"Dog Er, that's the women's area over there, you guy ran over and did something, and if you don't come out, Lao Tzu will beat you to death!"
"That little turtle grandson, you are young, and you have a face to sit in the old man's area. What the? You say that you have a skill in rejuvenation, but you are actually in your seventies and eighties. You stand still, I promise I won't beat you. ”
"The weather is hot, the heat is heavy, and there are still a few hours before the ceremony begins, if anyone can't stand it, they can go to the shed next to them to rest and drink a bowl of water!"
The viewing area is divided into eight sections.
There are four on each side of the strait, and women are separated, and men are not allowed to enter the women's area, but women are free to enter and exit the major sections.
Of course, there is also a special section for the elderly, which is the closest to Yuehua Building.
As the time approached, more and more people came here to watch the ceremony, one after another, in an endless stream, and the eight sections were already full of people.
"My lord, there are too many people, what should I do now?"
"Open two more sections, and transfer 500 people from the city defense army." Wu Xiang wiped his sweat and looked at the dense crowd of people, and his scalp was numb for a while.
The ceremony was unprecedented, with more people coming than ever before, at least two or three hundred thousand!
"How's the arrangement going?"
"Don't worry, my lord, everything is arranged on the ship, and it is absolutely foolproof."
Wu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, hard work General Liu." ”
At this time, the river was full of boats, painting boats, building boats, and small boats, and people were constantly coming down from the boats and merging into the crowd.
At this time, some officials and celebrities have entered one after another.
Among them, there are family members of courtiers, as well as famous talented and beautiful women.
But both the talented and the beautiful will cause a commotion, and shouts and cheers can be heard from the shore.
"Cai Gongzi is so handsome, this girl's heart is about to melt."
"I didn't expect the lotus fairy to come, if I can kiss Fangze, I will be willing to live twenty years less."
"Murong Han Murong Gongzi, the concubine wants to give you a monkey!"
“......”
If Ye Qiange is present, he will definitely be unable to help but complain, this is a talented and beautiful woman, it is clearly a group of popular stars walking the red carpet, full of a sense of déjà vu.
"Brother Murong, I haven't seen you for a few days, how are you doing lately?" Cai Xian shook the paper fan in his hand and said gracefully.
Murong Han wore a light blue robe and smiled slightly: "Brother Cai, don't come unharmed." ”
"I heard that Brother Tai has been living in a simple house recently, busy with plowing and reading poetry and articles, and plans to show his poetry talent on the ceremony and win the first place!" Cai Xiandao.
The corners of Murong Han's mouth twitched, how could he live in a simple place, and he was obviously so angry by Ye Qiange that he vomited blood and fell into a coma, so he was bedridden and recuperated at home.
He didn't smile, and felt a tightness in his chest, "Brother Cai is serious, I don't dare to underestimate the world." ”
"Why don't you see Li Luo and Chen Yu?" Murong Han didn't want to continue to delve into this topic, so the conversation changed.
"Li Luo came, but he didn't come down in the painting boat." A look of disdain crossed Cai Xian's eyes, and his face was indifferent.
"Brother Li has a temperament and is uninhibited." Murong Han's face did not change, and he snorted.
"Chen Yu's family luck has been bad recently, I don't know if he will come." He sighed, looking bitter and hateful.
"Well, I only found out later." Murong Han immediately sighed, raised his eyes and glanced at Cai Xian, "I heard that Cai Shilang was also affected and degraded. ”
Cai Xian nodded with a pale face, and said in a cruel voice: "It's all to blame Ye Qiange's kid for making trouble, I must make him look good!" ”
Murong Han patted Cai Xian's shoulder, the essence in his eyes was shining, but his mouth was comforting: "Brother Cai, don't be impatient, now Ye Qiange's status is no longer what it used to be, if you want to take revenge, think twice before acting!" ”
"Brother Murong, is there any good way?" At this moment, a voice came from behind.
The two of them were startled at first, and when they looked back, it was Chen Yu!
In this change in the court, the biggest loss is the Chen family.
Chen Guzhong, as the secretary of the household department, holds the financial power in his hands, which can be described as powerful, even if he is a relative of the emperor and the country, he must give three points of courtesy, and dare not offend in the depths.
As the saying goes, if a person attains the Tao, the chicken and dog ascend to heaven.
As a result, the Chen family also flourished, obtaining endless benefits and benefits, and in just over ten years, the Chen family continued to grow and became one of the top families in Chang'an.
But now, Chen Guzhong has fallen, and he has been demoted from the head of the household department to the prefect of Jiangning, which can be described as a plummet.
The wall is down and everyone pushes it, how much power there is, how many things are taken.
It's okay if it's less, but once it's more, there will naturally be people who are red-eyed and will pounce and snatch it.
Therefore, the Chen family had to knock out their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs, giving up many benefits.
Although these are not enough to shake the foundation, they have also greatly damaged the vitality of the Chen family, paid a painful price, and the future development is bound to be hindered.
"I didn't think you'd be here anyway." Cai Xian smiled bitterly.
"The Mid-Autumn Festival, I naturally won't miss it." Chen Yu's eyes were calm, and after speaking, he looked at Murong Han.
"Chen Yu, don't embarrass me." Murong Han spread his hands with a helpless expression.
"Why does Brother Murong bother to say secret words, our relationship is irreversible, and my father is with Ling Zun-"
"Chen Yu, don't talk nonsense!" Murong Han's eyes were cold, his face was gloomy, and he let out a loud cry at the moment, interrupting Chen Yu.
The corners of Chen Yu's mouth were slightly cold, with a hint of banter and mockery.
"Chen Yu, don't worry." Seeing that the situation was a little tense, Cai Xian hurriedly persuaded.
"Hmph." Chen Yu glanced at Cai Xian, "Cai Xian, you and I have the same illness, and we should take care of each other, watch and help each other, why favor others." ”
Cai Ye was demoted, so that the Cai family lost a Dingshan stone, but in recent years, the Cai family has been devoted to the army, and it has developed well.
Therefore, the loss is not as serious as that of the Chen family.
"Chen Yu, when it comes to hating Ye Qiange, none of the three of us loses to anyone." Murong said in a cold voice.
He hated Ye Qiange very much, and in his heart, Ye Qiange hated him for taking his wife.
Chen Yu pondered for a long time, spit out a breath of turbidity, and said with a wry smile: "Fang Cai is reckless, he collided with the two brothers, please forgive me." ”
"It doesn't matter." Cai Xian put away the fan, not minding at all.
"You are also tired of family affairs, so you are angry and lose your former peace, no wonder you." Murong Han said.
"But, are we just doing nothing and letting Ye Qiange bully us at will?" Chen Yu was still haunted, and he wanted to take revenge immediately.
"Of course not." Murong Han smiled kindly, "Just imagine, above the Mid-Autumn Festival, in front of everyone's eyes, if Ye Qiange is allowed to show his appearance, I don't know what will happen?" ”
"I think it will be fun!" Cai Xian and Chen Yu grinned, their eyes full of coldness.
