readx;?readx; Chapter 232 Ascending to the Dynasty
On September 21 of the seventeenth year of Zhaowu, fog filled the central capital. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The drums had not yet sounded, the night was thick, and there were faint lights flickering in the mist on the Xiaoqing River in the northern city, and you had to get closer to see that they were a few painted boats with lights on.
Qin Lei was woken up from sleep by Ruolan, hugged the pillow and closed his eyes and muttered, "No, no." Ruolan saw that the prince was lying in bed like a child, so she couldn't help laughing, and said softly: "Master, it's been three quarters of an ugly hour, and if you can't afford it, you can't rush to Chengtianmen on time to stand on duty." Qin Lei buried his head under the pillow and said in an urn voice: "Who made this rule?" Why don't you start earlier, it's time to open, and it's good to sleep after opening. Yin Shi early dynasty? Doesn't this split people's good dreams in half? ”
Ruolan said in her heart, you sleep late like a night owl, but everyone else rests at sunset. But now is not the time to be reasonable,
I still have to coax this master up first: "The prince is good, wait until he comes back and sleep him for a day and a night to make up for it......"
Qin Lei shook his head like a rattle, and said: "Don't go, don't go, it's nothing for me, how can the fourth child sleep is important......" Ruolan was made by him for a while, and then Shi Dang outside the house gently knocked on the door again to urge, Ruolan had no choice but to lie in Qin Lei's ear, and whispered like a mosquito: "Master, if you get up immediately, the slave will ...... tonight" for a while, but she couldn't say it.
Qin Lei went into respiratory arrest and waited for her next words, and after a while, he heard Ruolan say shyly: "Listen to your ......"
Qin Lei suddenly came to his senses, sat up from the bed, hugged Ruolan's small waist, his eyes were like copper bells, and he said in a rough voice: "Is it okay to taste the flute?" ”
Ruolan's little head hung down to her chest, nodded invisibly, and then burrowed into Qin Lei's arms with a red face, refusing to raise her head again, but forgetting everything that told Qin Lei to get up......
Qin Lei seemed to have been beaten for a while, and his excited state was maintained until outside the Chengtian Gate. Opening the car window and seeing that he still couldn't see his fingers outside, Qin Lei cursed in a low voice before asking, "How long do you have to train?" ”
Shi Dang said softly: "There are still two quarters of an hour. You can start with something to eat, a snack, a snack, a snack. "Because of some physiological reasons, Qin Lei didn't have time to eat on the boat. I couldn't eat because of the bumps on the road, and I didn't get the opportunity until now.
Qin Lei nodded, and Shi Dang took out the food box prepared by Ruolan, and put a small bucket of boiled chestnut and osmanthus porridge, two boxes of exquisite pastries, and three plates of red, green, and green hors d'oeuvres on the table.
Although he slept darkly, Qin Lei also knew that Ruolanzi would get up before the time and tidy up this loving breakfast for himself. The beauty is affectionate, even if he has no appetite, he can't bear to waste it, and takes the porridge bowl handed over by Shi Gan, Qin Lei asked him to hold a bowl too, don't leave it.
The two were eating fragrant chestnut porridge, and they heard the guards outside report softly: "Lord Wang, the third master is here." Seeing Qin Lei nodding, Shi Dang hurriedly put down his rice bowl, turned around and opened the car door, and greeted His Royal Highness the White Dew.
As soon as the third child got in the car, he shouted that it was so cold outside, Qin Lei thought that he had nothing to say, but when he looked carefully through the light, he found that he had been frozen to the point that his face was blue, and he was shivering. Qin Lei then remembered that when he was eating upstairs in Wanli, this master was not an ordinary fear of cold, and he was busy pushing his rice bowl to him, and said with a smile: "The third brother warms his hands first," and then instructed Shi Dangdao: "Quickly serve a bowl of porridge to the third master, and drink it while it's hot." ”
The third child took Qin Lei's rice bowl tremblingly, shook his head and said, "Don't bother, I'll use this bowl to eat." As he spoke, he held the porridge bowl in both hands, raised it and drank it, and after a while, he drank most of the bowl of hot chestnut porridge, exhaled comfortably, handed the bowl to Shi Dang and said, "Another bowl ......"
Shi Dang hurriedly refilled the third master, presented it to him, and saw Qin Lei handing him a color, so he bowed down and exited the carriage. The third child held the porridge bowl, didn't talk nonsense, and hurriedly asked, "How is it?" Can it be turned over? ”
Qin Lei said warmly: "The problem is not too big, third brother, don't worry." The third child ate the original half bowl of gruel in Qin Lei's bowl, but he had the meaning of being given and eating. It is already a very straightforward expression of the meaning of being willing to live under Qin Lei. Qin Lei has never been a cheap and obedient bastard, and he has always reciprocated the sincerity of others.
The third child looked ecstatic when he heard this, and he couldn't believe his ears and said, "Really? No problem? Will the fourth child survive? ”
Qin Lei nodded with a smile, and said in a light tone: "I said that he can't die, and Impermanence doesn't dare to hook him." Even if I get to the court, I will rob him out. Every word lingers with a strong self-confidence, which is the only one seen in the existing Great Qin royal family.
Even his father can't give people this feeling, Qin Lin said in his heart, although Qin Lei didn't explain it to him in detail, he completely believed it, and believed it without any reason.
At this time, there was a low sound of the bell hitting the Chengtian Gatehouse, and Qin Lin smiled: "This is to call the line" and the two got out of the car.
Looking at the surroundings of the black rumbling, the two of them walked to the city gate downstairs under the leadership of the lantern-wielding guards.
As he walked, Qin Lei suddenly asked in a low voice, "Third brother, what time do you usually sleep?" ”
Qin Lin didn't know what he meant by asking, but he still replied with a smile: "Third brother, I am a night owl, and I usually go to bed at the beginning of the day. ”
Qin Lei said 'ah', and was just about to say, I often don't sleep all the time. But Qin Lin mistakenly thought that he slept late, and hurriedly added: "If there is a meeting the next day, you will sleep in the middle of the hour." ”
Qin Lei laughed dryly, stopped talking, and seriously thought in his heart whether to change his biological clock to cater to this nasty court. After thinking for a long time, he asked in a low voice, "Can you not come to the court?" ”
It was almost time for Baiguan to stand on duty, Qin Lin straightened his waist, held the ivory wat board in both hands, paced the square steps, and hummed quietly as he walked: "Unless you are bedridden or during mourning." Qin Lei said in his heart, doesn't this mean that he didn't say it, he had the heart to ask again, but he felt that many pairs of eyes were carefully looking at himself under the cover of darkness, so he had to keep his mouth shut, and he also stood behind the prince with the fourth child with his chest and belly.
On the left of the text, on the right of the martial arts, the prince and the prince stand in the middle. As soon as the two of them stood still, Guo Bizheng, the picket imperial history, began to roll call, "Qian Tiexin ......" The voice was loud and vigorous, which made people understand why he had worked in the three-grade picket imperial history for thirteen years, not because of poor ability, nor because he couldn't stammer, but the entire Imperial Procuratorate couldn't find the second royal history with a good image and a good temperament and a bright voice.
"Yes." Qian Tiexin, the left attendant of the criminal department, who was standing in the middle of the civil official ranks, replied loudly,
"Thank you for ...... strictly"
"Yes." The left waiter of the criminal department behind Qian Tiexin hurriedly replied.
Guo Bizheng sang one after another, and the officials answered loudly one after another, Qin Lei felt strange in his heart, and asked the third child in front of him in a whisper: "Why don't you call Li Hun and Wen Yanbo, and you don't call us." "Although I have participated in two court meetings before, I was called to the court, waited in the side hall, and did not stand with the hundred officials, because Qin Lei was very curious about everything.
The third child lowered his voice and said softly: "The picket Yushi is a third-grade official, and it is inconvenient to call the names of his colleagues above the third grade, so he paid attention to the salute first, took a look at the senior officials standing in the forefront, and knew it in his heart, and it didn't matter if he didn't call these people when he was roll-calling." After a pause, he added: "When we came, he had already finished reading, so as soon as we stood up, he began to roll call." ”
Qin Lei nodded and said, "When I said it, I felt that many people were watching me, it turned out that we were late." ”
The prince in front of the two of them listened to the two of them muttering endlessly, and finally couldn't help coughing lightly, turned his head and glared at the two, and whispered: "Silence!" ”
Only then did the two shrink their necks and stand with their heads down, waiting for Guo Bizheng to finish singing. This Guo Yushi's roll call for more than ten years has already been sublimated into an art, just listen to him not hurrying, and his voice is still loud when he sings to the end, and he is not tired at all. And when he finished singing a name and said loudly: "When the time comes, the gate of heaven opens ......", the yellow bell on the tower of the city gate rang just right, and the time was not bad, and there was no hurry. The officials who saw this scene for the first time were amazed, and applauded in their hearts. Even the old Beijing officials who have watched it for more than ten years will still use an intoxicated look to enjoy Guo Yushi's smooth performance.
This is the fan, this is the wrist.
With the melodious sound of bells, the tall and majestic Chengtian Gate slowly opened, and after the huge squeak stopped, the civil and military officials entered the Chengtian Gate, passed through the Taihe Gate, and walked into the splendid Xuanzheng Hall under the leadership of the prince.
Wen Yanbo and Li Hun led the officials to stand according to their ranks. The crown prince stood on the royal steps, and under the dragon chair, Qin Lei and Qin Lin stood face to face on the steps of the imperial steps.
With a high-pitched "The emperor drove to the ......", Emperor Zhaowu, who was dressed in a dragon robe, walked out in a tiger step, and hundreds of civil and military officials said in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live...... and knelt down under the leadership of the prince.
With the sound of the mountain shouting and tsunami, Emperor Zhaowu slowly stepped up the imperial steps and walked towards the dragon chair.
Yu Guang swept Qin Lei standing on the right hand side of the Imperial Order, and Emperor Zhaowu felt a burst of joy in his heart for no reason, as if he was finally waiting to fight with him against the two old bastards' partners. Thinking of this, Emperor Zhaowu couldn't help but look at Li Hun and Wen Yanbo, and the two of them really stood with their hands bowed, and they didn't mean to kneel at all.
"Sooner or later, the two of you won't be able to stand up for the rest of your lives." Emperor Zhaowu hated in his heart, and his good mood disappeared immediately, although he had seen this scene countless times, but every time he saw it, it would make the Great Qin Emperor unhappy, like two thorns pierced in his heart, and he sat down expressionlessly.
"Flat ......" Seeing Emperor Zhaowu sitting down, the eunuch in front of the emperor said in a loud voice.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Huhula Baiguan got up, and after standing still, he didn't have time to listen to the sentence, 'If you have something to do with the morning play, you will roll up the curtain and retreat from the court.' But I heard Emperor Zhaowu speak: "Yutian is also here?" Are you feeling better? "Emperor Zhaowu gave Qin Lei the word Yutian a few days ago.
Qin Lei hurriedly said respectfully: "Back to my father, the child is much better." ”
Emperor Zhaowu twisted his beard and said: "The king of Nianlong County has recovered from a serious illness, and he can't stand for a long time, so sit down!" Qin Lei was flattered and said, "Thank you, Father!" ”
The eunuch of the Xuanzheng Palace hurriedly moved Qin Lei a brocade pier over, and after he thanked him again, he sat on his buttocks, but he did not sit only a quarter like others, in order to show his sincere fear.
This little episode made the civil and military officials understand Qin Lei's status in Emperor Zhaowu's heart, and their evaluation of Qin Lei naturally improved accordingly.
"If there is something to play early, there is nothing to retreat from the court...... probably because the emperor was full of branches, which took up more time, and the eunuch in front of the emperor specially reduced four words in order to speed up the rhythm.
After a short period of silence, several adults who were going to go out to play today's class looked at each other, and Yin Qin Shouzhuo of Kyoto Prefecture was the first to come out, holding the wat board and saying loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister has a book to play!" ”
Emperor Zhaowu bowed his head slightly and said, "Aiqing, please speak." ”
Yin of the Qin Mansion, who was admired by Prime Minister Wen again, said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, an hour ago, Weichen got a report, around the ugly hour today, the treasury of Dali Temple caught fire, and many archives were burned ......"
"Huh?" There was a murmur in the queue, and it happened so suddenly that many people didn't know it beforehand. At this time, when I heard what Kyoto Prefecture Yin said, I couldn't help but gasp, you must know that the drama meat of today's court meeting is to announce the sentence of King Jianjun, why did Dali Temple catch fire so coincidentally? One of the cats is greasy to feel with the toes.
After a short exclamation, the hundred officials calmed down and waited to see what would happen to the 'iron case' in Prime Minister Wen's mouth?
"Oh," Emperor Zhaowu said with a look of surprise, "How's the fire?" Are there any casualties? ”
Qin Shou said humbly: "Dali Temple has strict fire prevention measures on weekdays, coupled with today's fog and humid air, the fire was quickly extinguished, but unfortunately, several officials who were sorting out documents in the dossier were suffocated by the smoke. ”
When Emperor Zhaowu heard this, he looked at an official who was in the third grade with a playful expression, and said slowly: "Qu Yan, when did your Dali Temple become so diligent, and you still have to work all night to sort out the documents?" ”
Qu Yan, the Qing of Dali Temple, didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, those colleagues are preparing the dossier to be used in today's court meeting all night, who would have thought that ......" actually choked up: "I actually died in the line of duty...... Wechen implores His Majesty to give preferential treatment to the bereaved family! As he spoke, he fell to his knees and kowtowed.
Emperor Zhaowu said softly: "You get up, I will not treat them badly." Let's go back and make a fold and hand it over. After speaking, he looked at Wen Yanbo on the side, and Wen Yanbo bowed his head and said, "As long as it is not too excessive, the Prime Minister will approve it." ”
Qu Yan was grateful and didn't mention it.
Emperor Zhaowu also ordered the Kyoto Prefecture to strictly investigate the matter, and if it was arson, it must be pursued with all its might, severely punished, and returned a peaceful environment to the yamen of the ministry.
After Qin Shouclumsy responded, he also withdrew from the class.
At this time, an official wearing a four-grade robe came out of the class with a wat board and said: "Minister, the right man is the imperial Shi Yi Weiluo, and he has to play." "When the imperial history wants to be announced, you must first say your official name to show your openness and selflessness.
Emperor Zhaowu nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Yi Aiqing, please speak." ”
Yi Weiluo said loudly: "Your Majesty, today is September 21, but the case of King Jian has not yet been pronounced, and it has exceeded the time limit set by His Majesty that day by five days. ”
Emperor Zhaowu's face remained unchanged, and he still said slowly and majestically: "Accurate, the three departments can also defend themselves." ”
As soon as his voice fell, Yin Qin Shouchou of Kyoto Prefecture stood up and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, Kyoto Mansion is only responsible for the acceptance of civil disputes in this case, and is not responsible for the direct trial of King Jianjun. Moreover, these cases have all been closed since 10 days ago, and all the files have been transferred to Dali Temple, so the government is not responsible, and there is no problem of dereliction of duty. ”
Wei Zhengyi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, also bowed his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the Criminal Department is only responsible for the criminal case in this case, not for the direct trial of His Royal Highness King Jianjun, after the case was closed seven days ago, all the files were also transferred to Dali Temple, so the Ministry is not responsible, and it is impossible to talk about dereliction of duty." ”
Emperor Zhaowu glanced at the two of them, and smiled at Wen Yanbo: "The prime minister's subordinates are all ghostly, and they don't even give people a little handle." ”
How could Wen Yanbo not hear the irony in Emperor Zhaowu's tone, he twisted his beard and smiled without hurrying or annoyance: "Let's see what Qu Yan has to say." ”
Emperor Zhaowu nodded, and Qu Yan stood up again, bowed his head and said bitterly: "It is said that it is time for our Dali Temple to hear and pronounce the verdict, and we have indeed collected enough evidence. It's just that...... The evidence and the officials in charge of the case were all burned to the ground today. ”
