Chapter 233: Public Opinion Surging
The Yongchang Bofu and the Ming family snatched the Ming family's dowry, and there was a lot of uproar.
Recently, most of the street discussions in the capital are related to this matter.
In the midst of this noise, Zhang Gui finally decided to leave Tongzhou and return to Beijing.
Qi Yu immediately ordered the Ministry of Rites to prepare a ceremony to greet him, and sent people to constantly fly horses to inform Zhang Gui's itinerary, counting the time, and leading the civil and military ministers to the ten-mile long pavilion on the outskirts of Beijing to greet Zhang Gui.
The direction of public opinion in the capital suddenly changed, and everyone was praising Qi Yu for respecting the teacher, sighing that Zhang Gui and Qi Yu had a deep relationship with teachers and students, and that the monarch and the minister were in harmony, saying that with the cooperation of the emperor and Zhang Shoufu, Daqi will definitely be able to move towards a prosperous world!
The spittle flew and sighed, as if they were the parties and had seen the omen of ZTE.
Huang Yi'an heard about it and sighed.
People in the world are like this, they only believe what they want to believe or what others want them to believe, and never delve into the truth behind it. Obviously, Zhang Gui and Qi Yu are on the surface of the harmony between teachers and students, and under the agreement between the monarch and the minister, they are guarding each other and secretly fighting for power, but the world seems to be unable to see it.
Because of this, public opinion is often easy to exploit.
Seeing Huang Yi'an frowning and pondering, Ah Mei smiled and persuaded: "Your Majesty's move has won the praise of all the people, and has eased the relationship with Zhang Shoufu, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. ”
Huang Yi'an nodded, thinking, not only killing two birds with one stone, but also killing two birds with one stone, such as reducing the pressure from the Empress Dowager Li, protecting Zhang Wei's hidden stake to the greatest extent, and so on.
And for Zhang Gui, he also needs such a step, in a harmonious atmosphere between monarchs and ministers, to "discuss" with Qi Yu about Feng Yongting's case, and to collect the power he lost during his absence from the capital as soon as possible, so as to prepare for the implementation of the new policy in the army.
If it weren't for Qi Yu's proposal to lead the civil and military ministers to the suburbs to greet Zhang Gui in person, it would be beneficial to both sides, how could the court, which had always been noisy, unify their opinions so quickly.
Therefore, there has never been a simple friendship between teachers and students, and there has never been a simple friendship between teachers and students, and there is a relationship between monarchs and ministers.
Harem, too.
Thinking of the changes in the circumstances of this life, Huang Yian couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.
In this life, she decided to break free from the shackles of the queen, re-examine her relationship with Qi Yu, carefully test Qi Yu's bottom line, and let herself live more freely within the scope of his tolerance.
As a result, she was surprised to find that Qi Yu's bottom line for her was repeatedly lowered, she cared for her, and she didn't follow the rules in Kunning Palace and didn't leave, and even the matter of choosing a concubine was repeatedly deduced, and now even the affairs of the court and the middle of the court will be discussed with her!
This was completely unexpected by Huang Yi'an.
If it weren't for the fact that Qi Yu was busy welcoming Zhang Gui back to Beijing recently, leaving early and returning late every day, the two had very little time to get along, and Huang Yi'an didn't know how to get along with Qi Yu as restrained and comfortable as before.
While "reconciling" with Qi Yu, Huang Yi'an also discovered that Empress Dowager Li, who protected her deeply in her previous life, seems to have changed in this life. Even if she tried her best to honor all the skills she had learned in her previous life, and carefully and properly followed Empress Dowager Li's preferences, she did not gain the same trust and love from Empress Dowager Li as in her previous life.
It's not that Empress Dowager Li treats her badly, it's just that the "good" is not for her, but for a qualified queen......
After a long time and many times, Huang Yian sometimes can't help but wonder if the relationship between her and Qi Yu and Empress Dowager Li in her previous life was just like the current public opinion, only seeing the superficial indifference or concern, and ignoring the truth behind it?
It's a pity that the previous life has passed, and the truth can no longer be explored, the only thing she can do is to live in the present and live this life well!
"Amei, you go to the small kitchen and tell them to prepare some decanting soup, in addition, prepare some soup that warms the stomach and is easy to digest, and warm it on the stove, in case Your Majesty comes back to use it." Huang Yi'an instructed Amei.
Qi Yu personally went to the ten-mile long pavilion in the suburbs to greet Zhang Gui this time, and the monarchs and ministers had to have a banquet and drink to tell the meaning of parting. On that occasion, you can't eat a few bites of food, but you have to drink wine cup after glass, which is most likely to hurt the stomach and intestines.
Prepare in advance, and when Qi Yu comes back, I can sober him up and warm his stomach.
Ame responded with a grin.
Your Majesty cares about your mother, your mother is considerate of Your Majesty, and the emperor and queen are harmonious and harmonious, which is the blessing of them and the blessing of the people of the world!
……
Let's say that Qi Yu led the civil and military ministers, and went all the way out of the capital in the sound of the people's greetings, and went straight to the ten-mile long pavilion where the banquet was set up in the suburbs.
The Ministry of Rites has already made all the arrangements.
When Qi Yu arrived, the young general sent to inquire about Zhang Gui's itinerary, Pegasus, reported: "Your Majesty, Lord Shoufu's ceremonial drive has arrived two or three miles away. ”
Qi Yu nodded and said, "Got it." ”
It's only two or three miles, and you'll arrive soon.
Qi Yu didn't send anyone to inquire again, but only instructed Zhang Wei, Chen Dan and others to review whether there were any omissions in the various matters they greeted.
But what Qi Yu didn't expect was that Zhang Gui walked for nearly half an hour for the two or three miles away.
The civil and military ministers, who were originally looking forward to it, also tightened their official uniforms at this time, and stood hard in the cold wind for a long time, and the color of impatience began to appear in their eyes.
Qi Yu frowned, beckoned a short time forward, and ordered: "You immediately Pegasus to find out, why Yuanfu is delayed in the future, and whether there is an accident on the way." Quick payback! ”
The young general received the order and immediately took the order.
Not long after, the young general Pegasus reported back: "Lord Shoufu's ceremonial drive is coming......"
As soon as the words fell, I saw the majestic guard of honor far and near.
What is more eye-catching than the banner in the team is Zhang Gui's sedan chair carried by thirty-two people in the past and present, and the team of firecrackers guarding the sedan chair, full of style and majesty.
Qi Yu's eyes flickered, but the corners of his lips were already raised, and he smiled at the adults present: "Yuanfu is back!" ”
The voice was cheerful, if it weren't for the courtiers who knew about the increasingly obvious contradictions between Zhang Gui and Qi Yu recently, I was afraid that they would have to cheer and echo with the people of the capital for the monarch and the ministers and the prosperity in sight.
Qi Yu said that, and stepped forward to greet him.
When the ministers saw this, they naturally hugged each other.
When the people of Zhang Gui's faction saw this grand situation, they were naturally complacent and proud; And the group of people who opposed Zhang Gui sighed secretly - Zhang Gui's pomp is even bigger than the emperor's!
The two factions had their own thoughts, followed Qi Yu, and greeted Zhang Gui with a smile.
Zhang Gui saw this grand scene from a distance, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he immediately ordered the sedan chair man to stop.
The emperor led the civil and military ministers to greet him, and he couldn't sit in the sedan chair arrogantly, otherwise the spitting stars of the officials and the people could drown him alive.
The thirty-two people carrying the sedan chair were well-trained, and as soon as Zhang Gui gave the order, the sedan chair stopped steadily.
Someone immediately stepped forward to open the car door and helped Zhang Gui down.
Zhang Gui stood still, looked up at the emperor and his ministers who were flocking to him, and couldn't help but be full of pride: It's here! Let's see how he turns things around and changes the verdict!
