Chapter 508: The afterlife is terrifying
"Thank you, Your Highness Princess, for your understanding!"
"Zhang Gongzi, I have something to ask for, I don't know if it's okay?" Princess Taiping pleaded. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Your Royal Highness Princess, please speak up if you have any orders!"
"Presumably Mr. Wei also told you that between me and Empress Wei, there is still a hidden behind-the-scenes strength, which has been many years, but I have never found out who is behind the scenes, I hope you can help me find out!"
Zhang Bao'er was surprised: "Why does Her Royal Highness the princess believe in Weichen so much, and such a confidential matter will be handed over to Weichen to do?" ”
Princess Taiping said bluntly: "It's not that I believe in you, it's Mr. Wei who believes in you, and that's why I let him follow you two years ago!" ”
"Wechen will definitely help Her Royal Highness find out who is behind this scene, but Wechen also has a request, I hope Her Royal Highness the Princess can agree!"
Zhang Baoer actually put forward conditions to herself, which made Princess Taiping feel very uncomfortable, but she said quietly: "You say! ”
"I hope Her Royal Highness the Princess can let Mr. Wei continue to follow Weichen!" Zhang Baoer said what she thought.
Princess Taiping was silent for a while before nodding and saying, "I promise you!" ”
Zhang Bao'er breathed a long sigh of relief and said to Princess Taiping: "According to the orders of Her Royal Highness the Princess, Weichen really started talking. It's all said that should have been said, and Wechen is leaving! ”
Princess Taiping waved her hand and said, "Since you have been invited to my mansion, how can you go back without eating?" ”
With that, Princess Taiping took a few people to sit in the living room.
Eight plates of meat and vegetarian cold dishes have been placed on the table in the living room, and there is also a precious fruit and a pastry snack in front of each seat. As for cups, plates, tableware, etc., needless to say, they are neatly arranged in place.
Princess Taiping sat on the upper seat, Shangguan Wan'er was the main seat, Zhang Bao'er was arranged on the guest seat opposite Princess Taiping, and Cui Xiang sat with Zhang Bao'er.
Then there are maids passing dishes, delicacies from the mountains and seas, and all kinds of meat and vegetables. As if instructed in advance, the maid put some tempting dishes in front of Zhang Bao'er......
……
The two sides parted.
Watching Cui Xiang and Zhang Bao'er staggering away with their necks around their necks, Princess Taiping asked calmly, "Shangguan Zhaorong, what do you think?" ”
"The future is terrifying, I didn't expect that after two years of not seeing him, he would be like a different person!" Shangguan Wan'er sighed with emotion, looked at Princess Taiping and said seriously: "However, I have to admit that he saw it very accurately!" ”
"Not bad." Princess Taiping sighed and said, "Wei Xianyun's vision is very unique, no wonder he was repeatedly admired back then!" ”
Shangguan Wan'er smiled slightly and said, "With him, Empress Wei's future life must be difficult!" ”
"Yes, the drama should be more and more exciting in the future!" Princess Taiping muttered to herself.
……
Sure enough, early the next morning, the political hall set up in Menxia Province sent someone to inform Zhang Bao'er: Your Majesty has a decree to let him attend the court meeting tomorrow.
On the first day of the fourth month, at two o'clock in the morning, with the first morning drum sounding on the Chengtian Gate of Taiji Palace, the street drums on the opposite gates of Chang'an City responded in unison. The street drums of Chang'an City in the early morning stipulate that they should be beaten 3,000 times, and after the early morning drums sound, the first to open is the city gates around Chang'an City, followed by the square gates of each square area. The palace gates are the last to open, the so-called outside first and then inside.
Officials who need to go to court must rush to the palace gate before five o'clock, and time is a little tight for officials who live far away from the palace. When the officials got dressed and rode to the gate of the workshop, the morning drum beat and the door opened, and they could walk up the street to the palace. Since it is the early dynasty, of course, Li Xian also includes those who get up early, Li Xian wants to preside over the early dynasty, he does not appear in the palace, and the civil and military officials can only wait outside the palace.
When the morning drum beats, the palace maids carry the ironed clothes to Li Xian's dormitory, which are all made of tulips and dipterocarp.
Compared with those officials who get up early, Zhang Baoer is much luckier, he lives not far from the palace, and he can finish breakfast in the house and go to the morning court unhurriedly.
Taiji Palace is one of the three major interiors, called the Middle Dynasty, commonly known as the West Inner Palace, is the palace of the emperor every month to look at the dynasty, Shuo refers to the first day of the new year, and Wang refers to the fifteenth. The layout of the Taiji Hall is very exquisite, the main building adopts the "front and back bedroom", with the Zhuming Gate, the Suzhang Gate, the Qianhua Gate and other palace walls and doors as the boundary, and the palace is divided into two parts before and after the "front court" and "inner court". Outside the Zhu Ming Gate and the Qianhua Gate, it belongs to the "former dynasty" part, and the inner part is the "inner court" part. With the palace gate Chengtianmen and the east and west halls as the outer court, the emperor meets the ministers, listens to the government, canonizes the queen, the prince, the kings, the princess and the banquet tributary envoys are also held in this hall.
After the palace gate was opened, Zhang Baoer entered the main hall in turn with the hundred officials. If there is a cough, spitting or unsteady walk, it will be recorded by the imperial historian in charge of picketing and will be dealt with.
Zhang Baoer found a place in the back and stood decently.
Finally, Li Xian wore a dragon robe to the court.
The court discussion was all trivial matters, and Zhang Baoer didn't bother to pay attention to it, so it took more than an hour.
Seeing that the court discussion was about to end, Li Xian suddenly shouted in the direction where Zhang Bao'er was standing: "Zhang Bao'er is here?" ”
Zhang Baoer was distracted, and there was no reaction at all.
"Zhang Bao'er!"
"Huh?" Li Xian shouted several times before Zhang Baoer woke up.
Li Xian didn't mind Zhang Bao'er's snubbing, but smiled softly: "Zhang Aiqing, you come to the front!" ”
Zhang Baoer didn't know what Li Xian meant, so she had to step forward in full view of everyone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, he is Zhang Bao'er, the commander of Qucheng County, a few days ago we discussed the matter of letting him be Jing Zhaoyin, and today we will discuss this matter!" Li Xian pointed at Zhang Bao'er and said.
Many civil and military officials have seen Zhang Bao'er for the first time, and when they saw His Majesty the Emperor mention it at this time, of course they knew Li Xian's intentions.
"Zhang Aiqing was a county magistrate in Qucheng, and he banned stealing in a short period of time, and in one fell swoop he was pacified as a bandit that had plagued Qucheng for many years, and many strange cases were solved, presumably all Aiqing already knew. I decided today to let Zhang Aiqing take the position of Jing Zhaoyin, I don't know what everyone Aiqing thinks? ”
Silence, absolute silence, Li Xian said, even the sound of falling needles could be heard in the court.
After a long silence, a voice suddenly sounded: "Your Majesty, think twice, you can't do anything about this matter." ”
The civil and military officials heard clearly, and it was none other than Empress Wei, who was sitting behind Li Xian and participating in politics.
Li Xiantou didn't reply: "I knew that the queen would not agree, so I didn't talk about it beforehand. Queen, everything else, I depend on you, and I will be the master of today's affairs! ”
