Chapter 6 I am the fortune of the country
Xue Anshan was speechless for a while, and the empress looked at the courtiers kneeling behind him, "Are all the adults who are here today willing to gamble their lives?" β
Many people's palms were secretly dripping with fine sweat.
Xue Anshan's eyes were slightly red, and then he leaned over solemnly, "Minister...... Ministers should be willing! β
"Then present your fold, and if others are determined to do the same, they will also pass it over." Sun Youwei looked ahead, "There is a shadow, there is no shadow, after noon today, we will see the difference." β
In the crowd of black pressure, only a few people straightened their waists, they got up and handed the fold that had been pinched in their hands to the female official beside Sun Youwei, and more people knelt down and moved slowly, giving way to the straight palace road in front of Sun Youwei.
After the female official finished the recital, the courtiers who were originally in front of the royal chariot had already retreated to both sides.
Sun Youwei sat on the imperial chariot again, and the palace people still bowed their heads as before, and lifted the sedan chair smoothly.
Before leaving, she took one last look at Xue Anshan, who was still kneeling nearby, and suddenly said, "Taiwei Xue." β
ββ¦β¦ The minister is here. β
"Not to mention whether what Wei Aiqing said is true, even if he is wrong, my Da Zhou's national fortunes will not be affected in the slightest." Sun Youwei looked ahead, "Do you know why?" β
Xue Anshan was a little stunned for a while.
"Talking about one Wei Xingzhen, even if all of you are combined, you can't stop my will." The corners of Sun Youwei's mouth lifted slightly, and he said slowly, "I, that is, the fortune of the country." β
The imperial chariot set off again, and countless palace people carrying the hem of the empress's clothes passed through the courtiers in silence, and people shouted the words "Congratulations to my emperor" in a low voice, but Sun Youwei never looked back at them again.
Wei Xingzhen only then slowly walked towards Xue Anshan - the old man was kneeling on the ground, not even daring to raise his head.
"Captain Xue, please get up." Wei Xingzhen stood with his hands in his hands, he looked at the white-haired old minister in front of him condescendingly, but there was no pity in his eyes, "You privately asked Lin Anmin, the director of Si Tiantai, about the details of the shadow measurement, Your Majesty knew about it early on, thinking that you are an old minister who has been with you for many years, Your Majesty expelled Lin Mouyong from Beijing last month, hoping to make Lord Xue lose his way backββ"
"It turned out to be you," Xue Anshan raised his head suddenly, with a bit of anger in his words, "An Min will send a message to Shi in advance...... It's all because you slandered in front of Your Majesty! β
Wei Xingzhen sighed lightly, "What Your Majesty said just now, Lord Xue didn't seem to have listened to it at all. β
"In vain, Your Majesty's reputation is famous, and now, you are one-"
"Lord Xue, be cautious," Wei Xingzhen said softly, "If you say anything that is detrimental to the holy name, the juniors will not be able to protect you." β
Several students from Xue Anshan hurriedly stepped forward and tried to help the teacher up, but Xue Anshan pushed their hands away, stumbled back to his feet, and walked crookedly towards Wei Xingzhen.
"Old man, after two dynasties of wind and rainβ"
Wei Xingzhen's eyes drooped slightly, and she said with a smile, "This happens to be what Your Majesty asked me to convey to Lord Xue." β
Xue Anshan's steps stopped there, "...... What the? β
"After all, Lord Xue is an old minister who has gone through the ups and downs of the two dynasties, no matter what, you have to keep some face." Wei Xingzhen looked at the young people on both sides of Xue Anshan, "Help Taiwei Xue go back to his house." β
Xue Anshan suddenly felt that half of his body was like falling into an ice cave, and when he saw Wei Xingzhen take a few steps closer, he whispered in his ear, "Your Majesty has left a decent place for Xue Taiwei, as for whether you want it or not, you can go back to the house and think about it yourself." β
Xue Anshan was a little unsteady for a while, Wei Xingzhen firmly held his arm, "Come on, help the captain." β
Several students who had been standing behind Xue Anshan hurriedly stepped forward and took over their mentor from Wei Xingzhen's hands.
Wei Xingzhen was about to turn around, Xue Anshan said in a low voice, "Wei Xingzhen ......"
"What else do you have to do?"
"Who the hell are you......?"
Wei Xingzhen didn't answer immediately, he looked at Yuantian and then at Xue Anshan.
"Back then, I was transferred from Si Tiantai to Wenyuan Pavilion, and I was appointed by His Majesty to enter Feng Pavilion, all of which were made by you, Taiwei Xue, if you really want to talk about it, I should have thanked you very much...... It's a pity. β
Wei Xingzhen bowed his head slightly, nodded to the aged Xue Anshan, and then left behind all the eyes of fear, resentment or fear around him, and walked in the direction of Xuanmen without looking back.
He glanced at the rising sun in the east again, and quickened his steps.
It should be too late......
When the team was about to leave the Xuanmen, Wei Xingzhen finally caught up with the empress's imperial chariot.
The female officer who had been following Sun Youwei quietly retreated and gave up the position on the right side of the empress, and the speed of the imperial chariot's advance slowed down slightly.
"That's it, you don't have to walk with me anymore." Sun Youwei on the royal chariot still had her eyes closed, but she seemed to have noticed Wei Xingzhen's approach on the side, "Today is your big day, so don't let Ah Yan wait too long." β
"Yes." Wei Xingzhen nodded, "Your Majesty Xie is considerate." β
"Do you want me to send someone back with you," Sun Youwei raised his eyes slightly, and looked at the young man next to him expressionlessly, "If the Feng family cares, you also have an explanation." β
"No need, the minister will go faster." Wei Xingzhen bowed and saluted, "Congratulations to Your Majesty." β
Sun Youwei didn't insist, and waved his sleeves to signal the palace people to resume their marching speed.
Wei Xingzhen stood in place and watched the emperor's sedan chair, and did not withdraw his gaze until he saw the team disappear at the end of the road, and walked towards the other side of the road.
Under the majestic and solemn palace walls, Wei Xingzhen was the only one walking out alone in the silent square in front of the palace, and many of the soldiers guarding the palace wall were looking at his back curiously.
Wei Xingzhen's gait was quite famous among the nobles of the Great Zhou.
It is rumored that a few years ago, the young Zhenguo Gong Di Yang had invited three or five friends to go out during the Qingming Festival, and in order to see Wei Xingzhen walk a few more steps, he actually took advantage of the time when everyone got off the car to rest, cut all the ropes of the carriage and horses, and secretly let the horses go, so that in the end everyone had to abandon the car and walk back to the city.
Wei Xingzhen is eight feet tall, with a narrow waist and broad shoulders, just such a posture is already good, not to mention that he has always been calm in his gestures - the so-called "Yingying Mansion Steps, Ranran Mansion Trend", this is the scene.
However, today, Lord Wei walks with the wind, and he is no longer as leisurely as in the past.
Soon, Wei Xingzhen turned into the nearest residential alley outside the palace, and when he was sure that he had completely shaken off the gaze of the palace gate guards, he strode and ran.
In the early morning, the streets of Luoyang were silent and uninhabited, Wei Xingzhen climbed the low houses in three or two steps, jumped between the eaves, and quickly walked towards the southeast along the straight line.
Between jumping and running, he unbuttoned his outer robe in twos and threes, and under the black sacrificial robe, the bright red wedding dress flew in the wind.
He had to rush to Feng Yan's side as fast as he could.
