Ahma didn't move with him, but walked quickly to Cheng Yue, and said respectfully: "Lord, Wuji's luggage is still on the minister's mansion, and the minister will send it to the palace early tomorrow morning......"
As soon as he said this, Cheng Yue shook his head and said with a smile: "Why does Pingzhang need to be so urgent? Wuji's relatives and friends are all in the Pingzhang Mansion, so let them have a good end to the year. Didn't I make a deal with Pingzhang to go to the Zun Mansion on the sixth day of the first month? It's not too late to pick them up when the time comes. ”
Ahma was stunned, and couldn't help showing a look of admiration on his face, and said with a smile: "The prince is considerate of the five concubines, and the five concubines must be very grateful." Since this is the case, it is up to the prince. The minister can also assure the prince that from now on, Wuji is already the prince's concubine, and the minister should treat her with courtesy and wait for the arrival of the prince's sixth day of the first month. ”
Cheng Yue smiled: "Okay, then we will make a decision, and we have Lao Pingzhang." ”
Ahmad gave a salute and then walked out of the palace. Wuji heard the conversation between Cheng Yue and Ahma, and was very grateful to Cheng Yue. Yu Ji glanced at Cheng Yue deeply, and was about to leave, Cheng Yue suddenly winked at her, Yu Ji was slightly stunned, then comprehended, and nodded secretly.
Zhenjin arched his hand to Cheng Yue and said, "Cheng Yue, let's stop by and walk together for a while." ”
Cheng Yue smiled, and the two walked out side by side, and the ministers immediately got out of the way and let them go first.
Cheng Yue and Zhenjin walked to the front of the ministers, Zhenjin praised Cheng Yue, talked and laughed with Cheng Yue, and determined the matter of going to the prince's mansion on the fifth day of the first month. When he walked outside the Houzai Gate, Zhenjin saw that Cheng Yue did not go to the mansion of the two princesses in the palace, but walked outside, and couldn't help but wonder: "Cheng Yue, your business is not done yet, don't you want to stay in the palace at night?" Why come with us? ”
Cheng Yue Zhengse said: "I want to put aside the things in the palace for the time being, and there are still serious things to do outside the palace." ”
Zhenjin didn't know what he wanted to do, but he was curious, but he was not in a hurry to go back to his East Palace, so he simply followed Cheng Yue to the palace gate to have a look.
Outside the palace gate, facing the northeast, a huge incense case has been placed. The 1,000 guards under Cheng Yue stood solemnly, motionless in the cold wind, and they didn't know how long they had been standing, and the guards outside the door all showed admiration.
It stands to reason that incense cases are not allowed outside the palace gate, but who dares not to obey the order of King Zhennan? Moreover, the reason of the king of Zhennan is also very sufficient, and he can't be said by others.
The ministers went out of the palace gate, and Zhenjin saw the incense case from afar, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Cheng Yue, who do you want to worship?" ”
Cheng Yue let out a long sigh and said, "Pay tribute to the soldiers who died with me on the expedition." In previous years, I went to the army on Chinese New Year's Eve to lead the people to worship, but this year I couldn't go, and I couldn't go home, so I had to set up the incense case outside the palace gate. The soldiers who died in battle died because of me, and I must come to accompany them for the New Year, otherwise my heart will be uneasy. ”
Zhenjin was greatly moved when he heard this, and the ministers behind him were also embarrassed when they heard it, and they all praised the benevolence of Zhennan Wang in their hearts.
The ministers who were supposed to get on the horse and ride back did not leave at this time, but lined up densely outside the palace gate, quietly watching the worship of the king of Zhennan, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn and solemn, as if the temple was sacrificing.
Cheng Yue took a bowl of wine from Xiao Zhen's hand, and the Wenchen generals who accompanied him on his expedition to the east followed, including Naiban Dai, Tugul, Hengren, Jiuren and others, regardless of Hanmeng, Japan, or Goryeo, everyone held a bowl of wine, walked to the incense table step by step, and saluted respectfully.
Cheng Yue first read a short sacrificial speech, and then shouted with tears: "Brothers, Cheng Yue specially led hundreds of civil and military officials to celebrate the New Year with everyone!" If there is fate in the next life, you should drink and menstruate with all your brothers, and then talk about the year! ”
After speaking, Cheng Yue took a big sip of wine with hundreds of civil and military personnel, and then slammed the wine bowl in his hand to the ground, bowed deeply in unison, and refused to get up for a long time.
More than 1,000 important ministers were shocked by the scene in front of them to tears, and some generals who had led the army for a long time couldn't help but whimper and cry. Yuxi Timur, Yelie Baduer, Yuwa lost and other generals all burst into tears, Zhenjin wiped his tears a few times, Kuo Kuozhen hurriedly took out a handkerchief and handed it to Zhenjin, but he also cried.
After a long time, Cheng Yue slowly straightened his waist, his face was already covered with tears, took the three pillars of incense from Xiao Zhen next to him, slowly inserted it into the incense burner, bowed and bowed, and bowed and retreated.
The civil and military ministers behind Cheng Yue each took a pillar of incense, stepped forward respectfully and inserted it into the incense burner, and bowed back.
Outside the wide palace gate, it is quiet and silent, but it is extremely solemn. After the Eastern Expedition Wenwu put on the incense one by one, he suddenly saw Zhenjin pulling his robe, and said loudly: "There are not a few Mongolian soldiers who died in the Eastern Expedition, and King Rong Ben worships." Saying that, in the surprise of the ministers, Xiao Zhen hurriedly lit three pillars of incense, Zhenjin took it, and respectfully worshipped the incense.
Zhenjin made a start, where can the ministers behind stay out of the matter? Anyway, the reason is also above board, so thousands of ministers lined up in a long line and almost broke the incense burner prepared by Cheng Yue!
After all the worships were completed, Cheng Yue said goodbye to the ministers and went back to rest. The ministers all had a faint feeling in their hearts that the court of the Great Yuan was undergoing drastic changes, and the king of Zhennan was about to turn the clouds and rain!
Cheng Yue returned to the harem and walked into Wan Ze's princess mansion, and Wan Ze hurriedly came forward to serve.
There was not much time, Cheng Yue fell asleep with Wan Ze in his arms, and as soon as the sky was bright, he had to get up and worship the Taimiao.
At this time last year, Cheng Yue had not yet married Wanze, and only stood among the ministers, so he couldn't do it this year. He was already a Mongolian horse and had to accompany Kublai Khan into the temple to worship. And when Kublai Khan worshiped his ancestors and the immortal heaven, there was a person who should be present to recite scriptures and pray for blessings, that is, the Eight Thoughts and Eight Kingdoms Teacher.
Since Cheng Yue entered the capital, he has been closing his door to greet guests, strictly restraining the lamas, and does not want to conflict with him again, and he can always hide if he can't afford to provoke him. But he must not be absent from worshipping the Taimiao, and Cheng Yue will not trouble him at this moment.
So, at the beginning of the Eighth Lunar New Year, they had to be together earlier than Cheng Yue, and solemnly led the people out of the General Academy. When he got to the street, he took the lead in honestly abiding by the traffic rules formulated by Cheng Yuexin, and the grand guard of honor was squeezed into a straight line!
When the people who got up early in the morning to pay New Year's greetings everywhere saw that even the lamas did not dare to violate the few lines drawn on the ground, they were all dumbfounded, the lamas could obey the rules, and the national teachers were no exception!
When the Basi Ba Gang appeared outside the palace gate, they frightened the guards at the palace gate again! In the past years of worship, it is the first time to see the Eight Thoughts and Eight Kingdoms Master come so early!
