In the following days, Wen Xianggong's main energy was devoted to the suburban welcoming ceremony, and he was determined to make this ceremony beautiful and leave a deep impression on Zhao Zongji. Come on,.!

So he personally inquired about everything and dealt with everything himself. From the Hanlin Institute of the Ministry of Rites to draw up the etiquette notes for the suburbs, to the Honglu Temple, the Ministry of War, and the Kaifeng Mansion to arrange the suburbs to welcome the ceremony; Where to build a color building, where to set up a reed shed; Where should the officials greet and go, and take some rules; How to put in place the etiquette of the common people to drink wine and tea, pot pulp and food to welcome the king, he distributed and implemented them in the same way.

Thanks to him, he was in charge of the three rooms, and the household soldiers of the imperial court were in charge of the penal work...... These specific matters are all decided by him. In addition, many of the officials of the various ministries were brought up by him, and his words naturally carried weight, and the people below did not dare to slack off, but they were also satisfied with everything.

But Wen Yanbo didn't dare to relax at all, he was afraid that someone would make trouble and discredit this grand celebration, so he ordered Kaifeng Mansion to be fully responsible for the defense work on the day of the ceremony......

This made Zhao Zongshi, who had not yet sat in the lobby of Kaifeng Mansion, almost crooked his nose. This Wen Xianggong really deserves the name of a slut, and he knows that his new official not only needs a good performance, but more importantly, he must not make mistakes. Therefore, not only must you not make trouble with the ceremony, but you must also prevent others from making trouble.

As long as Zhao Zongshi's people don't make trouble, who will be full enough to block Zhao Zongji?

On the tenth day of the lunar month, there was a report that Zhao Zongji and the men and horses of the King of Dian had arrived at the Jingnan Station twenty miles outside the city. Wen Yanbo told them to rest and wait for the ceremony of entering the city on the 12th. and sent Lu Gongbi to go out of the city to meet them first, explain the ceremony of the day in detail, and accompany him throughout the whole process in case there is a mistake.

Looking at the whole process again, I felt that nothing was lost, Wen Yanbo's hanging heart finally settled, and then symbolically reported to Han Qi.

It is said to be 'symbolic' because someone Han can't control someone Wen at all...... Han Qi is really hateful now, he thought that he would be able to sit firmly in Diaoyutai by seizing the personnel power and the seal, but he didn't expect Wen Yanbo to use the power in his hands to the extreme, and he was going to empty himself!

In fact, the reason is very simple, Han Qi is in charge of big things, and Wen Yanbo is in charge of small things, but the daily operation of the imperial court, nine out of ten are trivial 'small things', even if it encounters big things, Wen Yanbo will skip Han Qi and directly ask Zhao Zhen for instructions. Han Qi is now weak and doesn't dare to provoke Zhao Zhen, but as a result, Wen Yanbo is a fox and a fake tiger, and he doesn't even want to be a big deal......

"I've already seen the suburban welcome ceremony of the Ministry of Rites", although he couldn't change anything, Han Qi still had to disgust him: "The grandeur is grand, but it's too arrogant, I rejected it and asked them to redraft it." ”

"I don't know where it trespassed?" Wen Yanbo is so annoyed, you said it earlier if you think it's inappropriate! The ceremony will be held the day after tomorrow, and only now let the Ministry of Rites redraft it, isn't this a deliberate obstruction?

"Giving chariots and horses, crowns, music rules, Zhu Hu, Na Ma, Hu Ben, Gong Ya, axe, and Ji Hu - the gift of Jiuxi has all been made", Han Qi said coldly: "It is right to say that it is light to say that it is usurpation!" ”

"How could Xiang Gong think that?" Wen Yanbo shook his head and said: "The prince originally wanted tin chariots and horses, crowns, music rules, Zhu Hu, and Na Ma. Moreover, Zhou Li said, those who can repel evil will give tigers; Bow and arrow to those who can levy the unrighteous; The guilty are given axes; Filial piety prepares for the beard. His Royal Highness has always been filial piety, and this time he retreated from evil and punished the guilty, and it is natural and righteous to give these four things again! ”

"But you can't give the first five things and the last four!" Han Qi recently held back the anger in his belly, broke out suddenly, and said: "Five plus four is nine, and the Son of Heaven adds nine tin, does it mean to be Zen?" ”

"Han Xiangte is dark." Wen Yanbo shook his head and said: "Even if it is Jiuxi, it is just the Book of Rites. The gift of the 'Nine Lives of the Prince' of the Royal System. You say that Jiuxi is the gift of usurpation, is the Book of Rites a book of usurpation? ”

The normal operation of the dynastic state depends on various etiquette, so the "Book of Rites" can never be questioned. The big hat was buttoned down, and Han Qi had to avoid it for the time being, and said: "Hugh has to be strong and quibble, Cao Cao, Sima Yi, Liu Yu, Xiao Daocheng, Xiao Yan, Chen Baxian, Yang Jian and Li Yuan, but they all usurped the throne after granting Jiuxi first!" ”

"Joke, many people are choked to death, why won't Han Xianggong eat? The vast majority of people died in bed, so didn't Han Xianggong sleep? Wen Yanbo sneered: "What's more, this is the order of the Son of Heaven, the officials are all good, why is Han Xianggong evil?" ”

"The fate of the Son of Heaven is also a chaotic fate, and it should be refuted!" Han Qi gritted his teeth and said, "Unless the old man is driven out of the middle book, don't even think about this Jiuxi gift!" ”

Han Qi's attitude was extremely resolute, and Wen Yanbo had no choice but to remove the tin of the axe and reduce the 'tin of nine lives' to eight tin.

But Wen Yanbo didn't expect it to happen overnight, he made a Jiuxi courtesy, in fact, it was to attract firepower, so that Han Qi was powerless to stop what he really wanted to implement - the king of Qi, the edict of the Chinese book, the political affairs of Pingzhang, and the prime minister!

Prince Feng had already decided this, there was nothing to fight about, and Han Qi didn't care very much. Because in the Song Dynasty, in order to reflect the authority of the prime minister, even if it is a prince, the status is below the prime minister. But once he became the secretary of the Zhongshu Order, Zhao Zongji was above the prime minister.

How can this make Han Xiang, who has just been the foreman for a few days, embarrassed?

However, Han Qi stirred up Jiuxi with the 'gift of inhuman ministers', and Wen Yanbo only asked him, 'Is this also not the gift of human ministers?' Or is Han Xianggong afraid of losing the position of the first minister? Han Qi could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach......

What makes Han Qi talk about himself is that usually the Zhongshu Order and Pingzhang political affairs granted by the prince are all false titles, because the status is too respectful, how can he deign to deal with daily mundane affairs, and it is good to stand like a bodhisattva when he is in the court.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In any case, two days are in the blink of an eye.

Before dawn on the twelfth, the gate of Wanshengmen slowly opened, and a battalion of forbidden soldiers walked out of the barracks with spears and formed a long dragon out of the city. By the bright morning light, a defensive line was laid on both sides of the post road.

In order to earn enough face for Zhao Zongji, Wen Yanbo made a bloody investment. Twenty miles long distance from Bianjing City to Jingnanyi, every twenty zhang away, a color building is erected, on both sides of the color building, three steps and a post, five steps and a sentry, the forbidden soldiers and soldiers are all dressed in bright armor, and the officers are also wearing scarlet cloaks, which is even more mighty and extraordinary.

The sky is also beautiful, and the temperature has been rising all day long in recent days. Not only on the post road, the residual snow on both sides of the post road has been swept clean, but also countless long tables and incense tables...... This is for the convenience of the people's 'liquor and fragrant tea, pot pulp and food'.

Afraid that something would happen, Wen Yanbo came to the scene on the second watch, reconfirmed all links, and was busy until the fifth watch, before resting in the reed shed next to the post road.

At this moment, the sky is faint, there is no trace of wind, and people can't feel that it is deep winter. This is the best news for both the performers and the spectators. Otherwise, if the north wind calls and the snow is all over the sky, I dare not imagine how embarrassed and deserted it will be.

This made Wen Xianggong completely relieved, and Lao Huai was relieved: "Zhong Fang, those big eaters you raised really have two brushes, let them say, today is a rare good weather!" ”

"The main thing is that the prince is blessed with all the heavens, and the sincerity of the prince is spiritual." Although all the ministries are old subordinates in the past, there are few people who are really relieved by Wen Yanbo. This kind of big thing that must not go wrong, he naturally wants to catch Chen Ke's strong man. Not only did Chen Ke catch up, but his martial arts students were also asked by Wen Yanbo to serve as the honor guard of the ceremony, and they had been practicing for a whole month for this day's ceremony.

"Where, where." In addition to being unkind to Han Qi, Wen Yanbo was gentle to the rest of the people, not to mention Chen Kehu? "Sit down and warm up, eat and drink, we'll have to toss until the afternoon."

"Thank you." Today's Chen Ke is taking the Confucian route, and his every move is very respectful, and he has no arrogance at all.

"How did you become so bored?" Wen Yanbo rubbed his nose that was numb, and said angrily: "The old man still likes that unscrupulous Chen Zhongfang." ”

"In the past few years, the impeachment of my notebook can be used as firewood for a winter", Chen Ke smiled bitterly: "Whoever is rectified like this will be a lot more careful." ”

"What are you afraid of", Wen Yanbo said with a smile: "Everyone has said that the Great Song Dynasty has a 'invalid impeachment' Chen Zhongfang, and the imperial historians don't want to find their own boring anymore." ”

"In fact, whoever is replaced, even if he is only impeached by one-tenth, should resolutely resign." Chen Ke sweated, smiled bitterly and said heavily: "The lower officials are not moving like a mountain, but you can imagine how the wind is commented." ”

"You can't resign." Wen Yanbo said softly: "If you really leave, won't you fall into their hands?" ”

"yes." Chen Ke nodded and said softly: "Because of this, the lower officials did not leave." But after a few years, I was already overwhelmed, and the day the dust fell, it was the day I resigned. ”

"Nonsense, the official family will not let you go, and I will never agree! Don't even think about it! Wen Yanbo said categorically. But he realized in his heart that this Chen Ke is too smart, and he must not be an enemy of this kind of person!

"Hehe, don't be strong." Chen Ke smiled: "Besides, I won't leave Bianjing, I will do my best to run my Wisdom Institute......"

"Say no more, it's non-negotiable." The more he was like this, Wen Yanbo was resolute: "Absolutely impossible!" ”

"Well, we'll talk about it then." Chen Ke smiled bitterly: "Let's concentrate on getting down to business first." ”

"It's not possible then." Wen Yanbo shook his head, and was about to say something more, when he heard footsteps outside, he stopped talking and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"Xianggong, Kaifeng Mansion is blocking the streets leading to Wanshengmen." His personal officials said urgently.
