Chapter 200: The Upper Dynasty
After performing the magic trick, Zheng Heng told another joke about being afraid of his wife, which made the audience laugh and wipe their tears.
After that, he sang "Song of Fear of Guilt" with the "Echo Song", and only listened to him sing:
The echo song is sung well, and the eldest brother is afraid of the sister-in-law.
There is a Pei Yushi outside, and Li Lao is the first inside.
sang so that Princess Taiping and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs laughed heartily.
Zhongzong measures a lot and doesn't care. Only Wei Shi listened to the nameless fire in his chest, and was about to attack, when he saw Shangguan Wan'er glaring at her, he couldn't help it. She thought about it again and said that the emperor was afraid of me, didn't he open his eyes for me? Why not.
Princess An Le felt injustice for her aunt's ridicule of her mother in public: however, the thought of getting a large bag of gemstone rings out of thin air just now made her anger disappear.
But when I went back at night and opened the handkerchief, I saw that it was all reeds, and even her one was missing. She was so angry that she cried and screamed, and she was going to go to Princess Taiping to settle accounts. Shangguan Wan'er came over, talked to her about the benefits, and comforted her. She had to "eat coptis dumbly" and admit that she was unlucky.
On the twentieth day of the first month, at two o'clock in the morning, with the first morning drum sounded on the Chengtian Gate of Taiji Palace, the street drums on the opposite street 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.
Those officials of the imperial court who needed to go to court had to rush to the palace gate before five o'clock, which was a bit stressful for the officials who lived far away from the palace. When they were dressed and rode to the gate, the morning drum sounded and the door opened, and they could walk up the street to the palace. Since it is a court counselor, of course, the emperor who gets up early also includes the emperor, the emperor is the host of the court government, he does not appear in the palace, and the civil and military officials can only wait outside the palace. When the morning drum sounded, the ladies carried the ironed clothes to the emperor's bedchamber, which were made of tulips and dipterocarp.
It was a snowy morning, and Li Tao was also walking on horseback on the street. Although Li Tao has a very delicate high-grade hand stove, the inner tank of this hand stove can always be balanced, and the cinder inside will not leak out, but the weather is surprisingly cold at this time, and the thick cotton robe cannot stop the invasion of the cold.
Li Tao saw a stall selling steamed cakes on the side of the road, and the newly steamed cakes were steaming, so he asked the servants to buy a few steamed cakes and eat them with the sleeves of their robes as they walked.
Li Tao kept complaining in his heart while eating: Your Majesty doesn't know which one is sick, but he has no official position, but he has to let Yang Siqiao come to inform him to go to the court today, so he got up and started tossing in the third watch.
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, Li Tao 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.
Li Tao 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 Li Tao 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 Li Tao was standing: "Tao'er! ”
Li Tao was wandering and didn't react at all.
"Tao'er!"
"Huh?" Li Xian shouted several times before Li Tao came to his senses.
Li Xian didn't mind Li Tao's snubbing, but smiled softly: "Tao'er, you come to the front!" ”
Li Tao didn't know what Li Xian meant, so he had to step forward in full view of everyone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, he is the emperor Li Tao of the lonely family, I think you have already seen it!" Li Xian pointed at Li Taodao.
When Li Tao returned to Chang'an, hundreds of civil and military officials went to greet him with a holy edict, and most people had seen Li Tao. At this time, when His Majesty the Emperor mentioned it, I don't know what the intention is.
"The emperor and grandson have been living in exile for many years, and the lonely family has sent people to look for them many times without success. Fortunately, God has mercy, and now the lonely family has found him. The lonely family decided today to make Li Tao the emperor's grandson, I don't know what everyone Aiqing wants? ”
Silence, absolute silence, Li Xian said, even the sound of falling needles could be heard in the court. Including Li Tao, no one in the court would have thought that Li Xian would say such a thing.
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: "The lonely family knew that the queen would not agree, so he didn't talk about it in advance. Queen, other things, the lonely family depends on you, and the lonely family will be the master of today's affairs! ”
"Your Majesty, you ......" Empress Wei's voice trembled, although there was no follow-up, but the civil and military officials could feel Empress Wei's anger.
Zong Chuke, who was standing at the head of the hundred officials, quietly turned his head, and where his gaze swept over, Ji Chuna, Cui Riyong, Dou Huaizhen, Li Qiao, Wei Wen, Liu Zhennan, Wu Yanxiu, Wei Bo and others all nodded slightly at him.
"Your Majesty, by all means!" Zong Chuke stepped forward.
"Why not?" Li Xian frowned, he knew that Zong Chuke was Empress Wei's henchman.
Zong Chuke Zhenzhen said: "Although King Lantian is the grandson of the emperor, he has lived in the countryside for a long time, does not know the etiquette of the court, does not know the way of being a king, does not know poetry and songs, and does not understand government affairs and military affairs!" How can I become a prince? If Your Majesty insists on going his own way, the Tang Dynasty will be in danger, and the people of Li will suffer. ”
Li Xian said impatiently: "You are alarmist, you don't believe that Tao'er is so unbearable!" The lonely family has made up his mind, and Ai Qingxiu will say more! ”
Zong Chuke was unmoved, and fell to his knees: "I hope that Your Majesty will take the common people and the society first, please take back your life!" ”
"Please take back your order!"
As soon as Zong Chuke's words fell, more than a dozen people including Ji Chuna, Cui Riyong, and Dou Huaizhen also fell to their knees.
"Please take back your order!"
Seeing this scene, many ministers who were watching dared to slack off, and they also knelt down and joined the camp of Zong Chuke, and there were still very few ministers standing in the hall.
