Chapter 232: The Great Wedding (Part II)

When everyone saw Emperor Yan's frame, they shouted, "Long live!" ”

And Emperor Yan slowly stepped off the frame with the support of the queen and Concubine De, he waved his hand and everyone got up, and then stepped into the Northern Liao Palace, supported by Li Muzhi and other ministers.

Emperor Yan, the queen and Concubine De waited for the mansion, and Pei Wenchao, who presided over the wedding, asked Ji Qingchen and Princess Shu'er to come out for the wedding ceremony.

At the end of the ceremony, Emperor Yan just sat on the main seat of the banquet and chatted with Pei Wenju, Li Muzhi and others, and said a few words to Ji Qingchen and Shu'er, and encouraged the two of them a few words, and left with the queen and Concubine De for physical reasons.

As soon as Emperor Yan left, the kings and ministers also left one after another, and then the four princes, the eighth prince and Ji Zhao also left, and the banquet was over!

In the hall, there were a few henchmen and close friends of Ji Qingchen's family left.

In fact, all the courtiers are congratulating at such a wedding banquet, mainly for the sake of Emperor Yan's face, if this wedding was not ordered by Emperor Yan and hosted by Prime Minister Pei Wenju, the two major crimes of rebellion committed by Ji Qingchen would be enough to be feared by the courtiers!

After all, this is a marriage gift from His Majesty the Emperor, and even His Majesty the Emperor has come, do they dare not come?

If you really look at Ji Qingchen's current identity and status, and with the two major sins he committed, even if it is such a big wedding, many people will not come to such a banquet! It can be said that to a certain extent, it was Emperor Yan who supported Ji Qingchen's faΓ§ade.

Most of the people left, and the hall seemed much calmer, but the atmosphere of the banquet was much more harmonious, and Ji Qingchen ordered the cabinet to set up a new table of banquets, and began to drink with everyone again, and then entered the cave room.

At the end of the wedding, Emperor Yan fell into a coma again.

This is accustomed to the eighth prince Ji Qian, but for Ji Qingchen, he is a little nervous, because his 20,000 troops are stationed outside the city, and in King's Landing City, there are only 400 guards and more than 600 "iron clothes" and "inner factory" secret guards, and the strength is not as good as Ji Qian, who has tens of thousands of troops.

Therefore, if anything changes happen to Emperor Yan at this moment, it may be a fatal blow to him Ji Qingchen!

However, he has no choice about this, but now that Cui Jingsheng has replaced Pei Wenchao to control the government, and with the help of the queen, coupled with Li Muzhi's Privy Council and the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Eighth Emperor Ji Qian, it is not comparable to the existing princes in King's Landing City, so he can only swallow his popularity.

But there is good news!

The imperial doctor said that Emperor Yan's condition was gradually improving, and now he was unconscious, but he was still continuing his previous habits, and his condition would be controlled if he slowly recuperated.

This news is happy and worrying for Ji Qingchen!

Happily, after Emperor Yan's condition improves, the government will no longer continue to be in the hands of the Eight Emperors and the party, and his life safety can be guaranteed, as for the worry, that is, Emperor Yan will punish him and punish him, which is unbearable for him, because the emperor's anger is not something that everyone can bear, especially Emperor Yan organized a wedding for him in a beautiful manner, which means that he will not spare Ji Qingchen.

And in such a half-happy and half-sad situation, Ji Qingchen spent a difficult life for more than a month.

Finally on this day, Ji Qingchen was playing the piano in the back garden, and Shu'er was dancing, and saw Zhang Rang hurriedly come to Ji Qingchen, and said in a trembling tone, "Your Highness, the palace has come to pass the decree, saying that you will go to the imperial study." ”

"Who gave the message? What's wrong with you? Seeing Zhang Rang's strange appearance, Ji Qingchen's heart suddenly burst out, and he asked quietly.

"Yes, Gonggong Yang, the one who went to the royal court to announce the decree to Your Highness." Zhang Rang said, "The slave just listened to Gonggong Yang's tone is not good, people like him dare to be arrogant in our Northern Liao King, there must be a lot of articles in this, and the person who originally sent the decree to the palace should have been my godfather, but this time it was replaced by Gonggong Yang, it can be seen that ......"

When Zhang Rang said this, he stopped talking, but Ji Qingchen had already thought of what Zhang Rang said, so he said loudly, "It doesn't matter, you let the Long March prepare the carriage and horses, and this king will bathe and change clothes, and then go to see his father!" ”

"No!" Zhang Rang left respectfully.

At this time, Shu'er walked up to Ji Qingchen and asked what happened? And Ji Qingchen just smiled and said, it was my father who summoned me into the palace to face the saint. Shu'er listened to Ji Qingchen's understatement, so she didn't ask anything more. Because she has never asked Ji Qingchen about political affairs. He left the back garden with Ji Qingchen and came to the front yard, put on a black python robe for him after Ji Qingchen bathed, and personally sent Ji Qingchen out of the gate of the palace.

Outside the door, there were already Li Changzheng and a hundred Xiao cavalry battalions waiting for Ji Qingchen.

Seeing Ji Qingchen come out, Li Changzheng and the Xiao Cavalry Camp saluted him, and then Ji Qingchen boarded the carriage and headed towards the palace.

When he arrived at the imperial study of the Ganlu Palace, Ji Qingchen found that this time he was different from last time, only a few ministers participated last time, but this time the prime minister, the six books and the chief of the Privy Council all arrived, and there were more than ten people, and even his uncle Guozi was also listed.

Among them, there are also the fourth prince Lu Wang Ji Ping and the eighth prince Pingnan Wang Ji Qian, as well as the tenth prince Ji Yan and Ji Zhao, who was awarded the title of King of Tanglin because of the Beirong War.

"See Father!" Ji Qingchen walked into the imperial study and immediately saluted Emperor Yan.

"The last time you met me, you made a request to me, and I agreed to you, and I gave you a vigorous job, are you satisfied?" Emperor Yan asked, his tone was not emotional, cold, and some were just the majesty of the emperor.

"Thank you, father!" Ji Qingchen said respectfully, but when he heard Emperor Yan say this, his heart suddenly burst, because he knew that the result he had been waiting for for more than a month had come now.

"Let's talk about it, you sent someone to kill the mission I sent, and you left the country without authorization to ask to marry the princess, how should I punish you?" Emperor Yan was refreshed, and did not grind with Ji Qingchen anymore, but asked directly.

"This, the son knows that he is wrong, and he asks his father to punish him!" Since Emperor Yan said so, Ji Qingchen will no longer refute it, because he has already accepted his fate, because the person he is facing is Emperor Yan, Emperor Yan, who has been subdued by the Quartet for more than 30 years of cultural and martial arts, not Ji Qian, the eighth prince, and he can't use the method of dealing with Ji Qian to deal with Emperor Yan.

"Tell me, what should I do with Ji Qingchen?" Emperor Yan didn't ask Ji Qingchen again, but moved his gaze to the ministers in the imperial study. However, the ministers knew very well in their hearts that Emperor Yan already had an idea, and he just wanted to make a gesture by asking like this, so everyone would not take it seriously, so they could only remain silent. Of course, there are also people who are not interested, and when he saw Emperor Yan finish speaking, he opened his mouth and said, "Father, the ninth brother, as the king of Northern Liao, the governor of Northern Liao, the Privy Council, and the deputy general of the Long Xiang Army, privately sent a large army to kill the mission, which was like complicity in rebellion, and privately made the decision to leave the country, which is even more of a crime, but I also ask my father to remember that he contributed to Dayan in the battle with Beirong last year, so spare his life!" ”

It was naturally the Eighth Emperor Ji Qian who said this, but today he said all the official positions on Ji Qingchen's body at once, and used military merits to atone for his crimes, which was obviously not bad intentions, and said that he would spare Ji Qingchen's life, and the subtext was to remove Ji Qingchen from these positions he had said before.

Such a punishment is not unimportant for Ji Qingchen!

Because according to Ji Qian's words, when Emperor Yan removed these positions from him, he had nothing, not even the prince, he became a commoner, and as a commoner, everything he has now should not belong to him, like the palace, like Zhang Rang and Guo Quan, as well as the "Iron Clothes" and "Neichang" and the Xiao Cavalry Battalion.

Therefore, it can be said that Ji Qian's trick is ruthless enough, and it is a real murder without blood! Because Ji Qingchen doesn't have these things, with Ji Qian's strength and Ji Ping's ruthlessness, can he still escape the poisonous hands of the two?

However, there are those who fall into the well, and there are those who send charcoal in the snow, and the fourth prince Ji Wen is one, he said to Emperor Yan, "Father, although the ninth brother has committed a big crime, he has made great contributions to Dayan, and he has endured all the hardships for ten years after leaving the country for the proton, and he also asked his father to read the feelings of him doing so many things for Dayan!" ”

The fourth prince Ji Wen said a fair word!

However, after the two finished speaking, Emperor Yan did not answer.

And seeing that the requests of the two were not answered by Emperor Yan, everyone in the imperial study was silent!

This is equivalent to once again handing over the decision-making power to punish Ji Qingchen to Emperor Yan, and Emperor Yan did not remain silent for long, when he saw him say to Ji Qingchen, "Before, your position as the governor of Northern Liao has been withdrawn and handed over to Baixiangcheng, which can be regarded as a punishment for your private envoy leaving the country." ”

After Emperor Yan said this, the ministers were surprised, and with the relationship between Bai Xiangcheng and Ji Qingchen, he gave Bai Xiangcheng the position of governor of Northern Liao, isn't it the same as giving Ji Qingchen? However, thinking of the appointment of a new metropolitan governor last time, but this metropolitan governor did not insist on returning to King's Landing for three days, and then the embarrassing situation that no one went to Northern Liao when appointing the metropolitan governor, the ministers did not say anything anymore, and it was regarded as acquiescing in Emperor Yan's punishment of Ji Qingchen.

"However, you should know how big the crime is by sending a large army to kill the mission without permission, even if you are removed from all your positions, I am afraid it will not be enough to use your military exploits last year!" Emperor Yan continued to say coldly, "Therefore, I have decided to remove Ji Qingchen from the position of Privy Council Governor and Deputy General of Long Xiangjun, and imprison him in the palace for another three years, and he will not be able to leave the Northern Liao Mansion without my will within three years!" ”

"No!" Suddenly hearing Emperor Yan's punishment, Rao is Ji Qingchen was so calm, but he was still stunned for a moment, this punishment is not heavy, but it is not light! imprisoned in the palace for three years, but what will be left of him after three years? With the ability of the eighth prince Ji Qian and the ability of the second prince Ji Ping, I'm afraid there will be nothing left at that time! But Jun has no jokes, now that Emperor Yan has made an order, what can he do, he can only take the order.

And Ji Qian, who was on the side, heard Emperor Yan's punishment of Ji Qingchen, and was a little unhappy at first, because Emperor Yan did not cut off Ji Qingchen's prince, but after thinking about it carefully, a faint smile appeared on his face. As for the other ministers, seeing that Emperor Yan punished Ji Qingchen like this, they didn't say anything. However, for Emperor Yan did not cut off Ji Qingchen's prince, Li Muzhi and Pei Wenju and other ministers are still very clear about this, this is because Emperor Yan thought that Ji Qingchen was a hostage to Da Yan and left the country for ten years, so he left Ji Qingchen with an identity that was enough to protect himself.

"Baiyang, the Northern Liao Palace, in the future, will be taken care of by your Yulin Cavalry!" Emperor Yan said to Bai Yang, who has now been promoted to the deputy general of the Yulin Cavalry. Let Bai Yang personally serve as the commander of the Northern Liao Wang's Mansion, where Ji Qingchen was imprisoned, it can be seen that Emperor Yan attaches great importance to the imprisonment of Ji Qingchen.

"No!" Poplar received the order, but he was also slightly bitter, because he knew that with Ji Qingchen's current strength, this was definitely not a good errand!

"Ladies and gentlemen, since this serious illness, I know that my body is no longer able to control Dayan, so I have decided to recall Ji Ping and Ji Hongchang, and let the two of them supervise the country with Ji Wen and Ji Qian to handle government affairs, what do you think?" Emperor Yan obviously had this plan in his heart, and he also weighed the pros and cons, so he was very confident when he said this matter. Because this involves the four most powerful princes, and it involves the confidants and ministers around the four princes, everyone saw that they all had interests, and they would not be like the Cui family when the eighth prince was in charge of the country, so they immediately agreed to Emperor Yan's decision.

In this way, the situation of Great Yan changed dramatically when Emperor Yan was about to recover. And what made Emperor Yan unaware of the way of the Yan Dynasty was to put an end to the Cui family's dominance and external dictatorship, but it also played a key role in the future fragmentation of Great Yan.
