Chapter 281: Sit and watch the Songhai change
PS: The second is 7 o'clock later
The scarlet Luo robe is wrapped around the body, lined with white flowers Luo Zhongdan, a large belt around the waist, and then tied with a leather belt to cover the knees, black leather shoes, the belt is tied with a brocade ribbon that symbolizes official products, and at the same time a small jade sword that symbolizes the identity of a military general.
Before Ye Yingwu went out on the expedition, he was often wearing armor, but at home he was wearing a regular uniform, this kind of court clothes used by Beijing officials when they went to court was really the first time to wear it, looking at the jade pendant and jade sword all over his body, the things hanging were no less than killing the enemy in battle, Ye Yingwu couldn't help but smile.
It's the square heart curved collar made of Bai Luo that is pressed on the neck makes people feel a little uncomfortable, but this court dress is also worn when the court is up, and the forbearance is over.
Copying the Diao Chan crown and putting it on one side, looking at the hairpin white pen behind the crown, Ye Yingwu couldn't help but reach out and flick it gently, it was very novel, such a Song Dynasty hat crown, if it was in the future, let alone be so casually held in the hand to play with it, even if you touch it, it is estimated that it can make those old professors angry.
"Mu the monkey and crown, play the crown to celebrate." Zhao Yunshu, who was huddled in the corner of the carriage, couldn't help but sneer.
Ye Yingwu was not angry, but put his hat on his head, and said with a smile: "Could it be that in the eyes of Her Royal Highness the Princess, a certain Ye Yingwu is a monkey?" ”
"What do you think you are?" Zhao Yunshu said in disgust, closing his eyes and not bothering to pay attention to him.
Rolling his eyes, Ye Yingwu responded with understanding: "Yes, yes, so-and-so is a splashing monkey, and Her Royal Highness the princess's clothing, food, housing and transportation are quite similar to so-and-so, isn't it also a female monkey?" ”
Zhao Yunshu glared at him, and after a moment of silence, he said slowly: "Is it in your Ye Yingwu's eyes, this palace is a monkey jumping up and down?" ”
Ye Yingwu was stunned, but he laughed and retorted casually, where did this little girl think? However, he still smiled and said, "Does Her Royal Highness the princess care about the feelings of her subordinates? The minister was really flattered, I don't know if Her Royal Highness the princess can reward some property for the sake of the courtier's loyalty and single-mindedness, and give it to an official, and the minister is very grateful. ”
"Are you a loyal servant?" Zhao Yunshu couldn't help but mock.
Ye Yingwu Zhengse said: "Isn't it? Is there such a loyal minister in the Great Song Dynasty? If it weren't for the loyal ministers, would Her Royal Highness the princess be able to trust her to travel with the ministers, which is a great honor. ”
"What a bummer." Zhao Yunshu didn't bother to take care of him, turned his head sideways, and left a beautiful back for Ye Yingwu, although he was wrapped in a cloak, he still outlined a slender curve.
In front of such a person, it is impossible to be calm with a man. However, Ye Yingwu is experienced in a hundred battles after all, and he has also seen the world, so he reluctantly calmed down: "Her Royal Highness the princess is true, a certain Ye Yingwu is really a scoundrel, a bad guy ······"
"You're pretty self-aware." Zhao Yunshu sneered.
"Since ancient times, there have been many scoundrels, and it is not because of this scoundrel that he was able to come to this point from Lin'an." Ye Yingwu said calmly, looking like he was full of words.
Stretching out his hand and gently lifting the curtains, Zhao Yunshu looked at the street scenes on both sides that had begun to be lively with interest, and suddenly remembered the scene of the city full of smoke that he saw on the Hening Gate yesterday, which had a special taste. After a long time, she carefully lowered the curtain and looked at Ye Yingwu:
"Since ancient times, I'm afraid I haven't opened my mouth to claim that I am a hero."
Ye Yingwu replied with a smile: "But it is Ye Yingwu, since a certain has created a different Tianwu Army for the Great Song Dynasty, why can't he be a different Ye Yingwu?" This world has always gone its own way, let others say go, whatever it does. ”
"I didn't expect you to see it as open-minded." Zhao Yunshu couldn't help frowning, "In the end, he is powerful and powerful, and he is full of confidence in speaking out." ”
Ye Yingwu closed his eyes and sighed softly: "Is the dignified princess of Song talking about power in front of a certain courtier?" ”
"Are you laughing at the main palace, or are you mocking the entire Zhao royal family?" Princess Xin'an was silent for a moment and then asked, "You don't have to care about this, this palace believes that as long as the queen mother is still there, as long as I am still here, it will not be your turn to teach Ye Yingwu in this world." ”
The carriage suddenly paused, and Xiao Yangzi's voice came from outside: "Envoy, the front is Miyagi, you can already see the waiting civil and military officials, and the envoy wants to get off." ”
Ye Yingwu snorted, and immediately looked at Zhao Yunshu: "A certain will let them send you to the gate of the Great Inner Palace safely, and it is not up to a certain person to say what to do when the time comes, since Yang Yuma has the courage to release you, he naturally has the ability to get you in." ”
Zhao Yunshu bowed slightly: "Thank you." ”
"A courtier's duty." Ye Yingwu said with a smile, he just wanted to get out of the car, but was dragged by Zhao Yunshu, "What, there is still something?" ”
There was a sudden silence in the carriage.
After thinking about it, Zhao Yunshu said hatefully: "This matter is not over yet, this palace will not believe it, you will not be tempted, you and I will still meet." ”
Knowing that this little girl was so strong-minded, Ye Yingwu simply rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "I want to find a date with someone, I don't need to say it so subtlely." ”
Being laughed at by Ye Yingwu like this, Zhao Yunshu was furious, and suddenly remembered that there were civil and military officials outside the car, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly let go of his hand and retracted it, not moving. Ye Yingwu leaned over, stretched out his hand and rubbed lightly on her pink cheek, and said with a smile:
"Something to think about. The scenery of West Lake in spring is just right, why don't you go to the green? ”
However, Zhao Yunshu was obviously frightened and didn't say a word. Ye Yingwu was bored, walked out of the carriage, gave Xiao Yangzi a few words, and then calmly jumped off the carriage.
"Ye Yuanjun, come so early!" Several officials saw Ye Yingwu coming over and hurriedly stepped forward to be courteous.
Ye Yingwu didn't know the people in front of him, he didn't even know them, but he still smiled and returned the salute, which flattered these officials. You must know that every time Jia Rudao comes, he doesn't look at them, these micro-officials who can only stand in the court, and now this Ye Yuanjun has a kind face, how can he not hurry up and say a few words.
With these few diligent leading parties, Ye Yingwu soon called himself a brother and sister to the more than ten officials waiting outside the palace gate, but after all, it was still early, and most of the officials who came up to offer their hospitality were centrists, and the number was not large, and the vast majority of Jia Yidao's cronies and henchmen maintained due silence and cold eyes.
walked all the way to the door, and the person standing at the front was Chen Yizhong, who supervised the imperial history, Ye Yingwu had a few words of "confrontation" with him yesterday, so he still had an impression, but maybe Chen Yizhong thought that as a party official of Jia Nidao, he should stick to his position, or maybe he was sulking because Ye Yingwu was brought out of the official house yesterday and didn't see him alive or dead, so he kept squinting at the sky, and didn't care about Ye Yuanjun who came over.
And behind Chen Yizhong, Jia Yuqing, Lu Shimeng and Ye Yingwu all have grievances and hatreds, one is his younger brother Jia Yufeng who let Ye Yingwu Lingchi be executed because of the fish and flesh people, and the other is that the Xiangyang Lu family based on the foundation was uprooted by Ye Yingwu, this is all family feud and blood hatred, although both of them are the kind of people who put interests first, but it is difficult to smile in front of Ye Yingwu.
Therefore, among the officials in front of him, only Liu Mengyan stepped forward with a smile and arched his hand at Ye Yingwu: "Contemptible Liu Mengyan, it is really an honor to be able to meet Ye Yuanjun face to face today." ”
Ye Yingwu nodded, hiding the disgust in his heart, now Liu Mengyan is the right attendant of the Great Song Dynasty Ministry and the scholar of Duanming Palace, although it seems that the official position is not high on the surface, but in fact, the promotion of the officials in charge of the ministry, Jia Rudao can control the government, it is through Liumengyan's control of the ministry, and after the reform of the Duanming Palace, Yuanfeng, is the highest adviser of the official family, basically the decree is issued, there will be the participation of Duanmingdian scholars, and Ye Yingwu is similar to the Longtuge scholar who is a casual scholar.
However, even with the identity of Liumengyan, he can only stand in the cold wind. Ye Yingwu smiled faintly, arched his hand at Liumengyan, said a few long words, and walked directly towards the palace gate. After all, he is the ambassador of the Great Song Dynasty along the river, with a high position and military power, so he doesn't want to waste all his time outside this palace on the first day he comes.
Because most of the senior officials are old people, the Song Dynasty has preferential treatment for these people, in the small palace in front of the Wende Hall of the last dynasty, called the Vertical Arch Palace, is usually the place where the officials report the news to the Son of Heaven, and when they are in the upper court, they will be temporarily vacated as a place for the ruling and political participants to rest.
There is hot tea, chairs and even small snacks in the vertical arch hall, and the beaded curtain shelters from the cold wind. With such superior treatment, Ye Yingwu naturally would not let it go. Although he is not now regarded as a central official of the court such as Pingzhang State Affairs or Governor of the Imperial Court, but with the ambassador of the Yanjiang system, the largest official title of "Marshal of the World's Soldiers and Horses" in addition to the royal prince in addition to the royal prince, Ye Yingwu is already qualified enough to enter the Vertical Arch Palace.
Picking up the stairs, thinking about Chen Yizhong, they all had to blow the wind below, Ye Yingwu couldn't help but sigh secretly, in the end, it is good to lay a foundation outside, at least in this Lin'an City, even if you are a newcomer and have no roots, others will still not underestimate you.
In other words, in troubled times, a soldier is a king.
The forbidden troops on both sides of the steps bowed at the same time, and the two chamberlains standing in front of the hall slowly pushed open the vermilion door, but after all, they were not summoned by His Majesty, so they had no obligation to roll names.
As if the spring breeze was blowing, Ye Yingwu took a breath lightly, raised his feet and stepped into the palace, and did not forget to straighten his clothes.
Maybe Ye Yingwu was already early among the hundreds of officials outside the door, but when he arrived at the vertical arch hall, he found that there were already a few people sitting safely inside.
Sitting on a chair on one side, an old man closed his eyes and recuperated, according to the order of the six departments, when the head of the six departments, it was Chen Zongli, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but the other books of the six did not appear, and at the head of Chen Zongli, there were two old men, one was Ma Guangzu, the governor of the dynasty, and the other was Zhao and Rui, who were sentenced to the main affairs of the great sect, and opposite Chen Zongli, there was Wu Ge, the counselor of the Privy Council.
Ye Yingwu breathed a sigh of relief, because the few people who appeared now were all very old, or they were the princes of the Great Song Dynasty like Zhao and Rui, and they would only come out to stand on behalf of the royal family as a great emperor when they had this kind of big court meeting.
If you really want to say that Jia Nidao's cronies, there is really no one, but Ma Guangzu, the governor of the political affairs, and Jia Nidao are also quite incompatible. And the Ministry of Rites is the most idle of the six, so Jia Yidao obviously doesn't have much interest in wooing Chen Zongli.
Since Ningzong of the Southern Song Dynasty, he has been the prime minister of the dynasty and a member of the Privy Council, so the nominal privy envoy of the Great Song Dynasty is Pingzhang Military Affairs Jia Yidao, but because this Jia Xianggong is not even bothered to deal with political affairs, let alone the military, so in fact, the head of the Privy Council is still Wu Ge.
However, Wu Ge is now simply a bare-bones commander. Everywhere in the world, there are Gao Gao and Zhang Jue leading the Sichuan army in Sichuan and Shu in the west, Ye Yingwu is the ambassador along the river in the middle to coordinate the various departments, and the two Huai are the famous generals Li Tingzhi and Xia Gui of the Southern Song Dynasty.
I'm afraid that's why Wu Ge was able to sit in this position as a centrist. After all, it is a position that is not loved by grandma and uncle, and even if it is won with great effort, it will not have much effect, so Jia Yidao will play with Wu Ge by himself.
Maybe Wu Ge was the only one in the Vertical Arch Hall who was still awake, and when he saw Ye Yingwu striding in, he was obviously a little restless, after all, not only did he and Ye Yingwu not intersect, but also as the minister in charge of the central military power and these frontier generals wanted to be-for-tat, it was absolutely impossible to say that Ye Yingwu was not disgusted with him.
Ye Yingwu also noticed Wu Ge, who was not more than fifty years old, but nodded and smiled very casually, which was regarded as a greeting. In fact, Wu Ge is a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and Ye Yingwu still has three points of sympathy for this leader of the Western Courtyard who should have been in power and Xuan He for a while. Everyone is in charge of military affairs, and this feeling of being a bare-bones commander is really not good.
(Author's note, the two highest administrative bodies of the Song Dynasty, Zhongshu Men are responsible for government affairs, also known as the Political Affairs Hall and the East Courtyard; The Privy Council is responsible for military affairs, also known as the Western Council. Therefore, the Song Dynasty is known as the "two courts")
"It's Ye Xianggong, the ambassador of the Yangtze River?" Ma Guangzu slowly opened his eyes and asked, although his voice was very low, it was enough to hear clearly in the quiet hall.
For this sixty-seven-year-old man, Ye Yingwu didn't dare to slack off, after all, Ma Guangzu was also a famous virtuous minister in the Great Song Dynasty, whether it was as a junior or as a junior, he needed to treat this old man with courtesy.
"The younger generation is not talented, it is Ye Yingwu, Ye Xianggong's title is absolutely unacceptable." Ye Yingwu stepped forward and replied respectfully.
The corners of Ma Guangzu's mouth grinned, and he squeezed out a smile: "Okay, don't be so polite." I didn't expect Ye Zhenzhi's yamen to be so promising, I don't know if I think the old man and these people have to make room for your younger generation. ”
When Ma Guangzu's voice fell, Chen Zongli, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating, also opened his eyes with a smile: "Ma Xianggong is right, the official family and Jia Xianggong, go and ask which one dares to let you go." Now that there are only a few old immortals left in the Manchu Dynasty, how can they explain if they are all gone? ”
Ma Guangzu was silent for a moment and looked at Chen Zongli: "This sentence is true, but now the general trend of the world is rolling like a tide, and it is no longer you and I who entered this court at the beginning of the year." And the old man's body bones don't know when he will fall, so it's not bad to go home to care for the elderly while he can still move. ”
"You are talking about the official family behind your back, so you are not afraid that this king will sue the emperor?" Rong Wang Zhao and Rui, who had been closing their eyes and didn't want to talk to these old guys, finally couldn't hold back their mouths.
Rongwang Zhao and Rui are the brothers of Song Lizong, the biological father of the Chaotian family, because of their humble background, so Zhao and Rui abide by their duties throughout their lives, although there is no outstanding policy decision, but they are meticulous in their role as Dazongzheng, and they can be regarded as dedicating their lives to the Great Song Dynasty. For such a rare prince who is not flying and domineering, the government and opposition officials are quite convinced.
(Author's note: In history, for Jia Yidao's death, in addition to being killed on the way to escort, there is also a saying that he was angrily beheaded by Song Rong Wang Zhao and Rui with a sword)
But after all, Zhao and Rui were in the same dynasty as Ma Guangzu and others, so even if they were convinced and respected, these peers would inevitably joke with each other.
"His Royal Highness King Rong, this is not authentic." Ma Guangzu seemed to have forgotten the existence of Ye Yingwu and Chen Zongli, and smiled at Zhao and Rui, "The old minister has worked hard for the Great Song Dynasty for so many years, and His Royal Highness has also seen it with his own eyes, and now he is almost unable to walk, is it normal to want to go home and tease Sun Bu." The old minister is seven years older than His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness can hold the emperor and grandson at any time, but the old minister still has to get up early every day and come to the court in the dark, isn't it a sin. ”
Ye Yingwu was slightly stunned, looked at Ma Guangzu, whose face was already full of wrinkles, and thought of the white-haired father and Wang Yao, the old men of the previous dynasty, and realized that in fact, these old people were already mentally and physically exhausted after enduring too many ups and downs in the Great Song Dynasty.
I'm afraid that only Cheng Yuanfeng, who has had several relationships with him, can really make his dream come true, and now he will return to his hometown in Huizhou to live for the rest of his life.
Standing in this vertical arch hall, Ye Yingwu unintentionally seemed to see the magnificent picture scroll of the Great Song Dynasty's New Year's greetings, miserable and joyful······
I don't feel that it is already a change in Songhai. (To be continued.) )
