Chapter 58: The Imperial Meeting

As soon as King Yan's will came out, only a few hours later, the entire Yan Li trembled.

Yan Li's people all guessed what this move was about.

It's not a royal ceremony, that is, something big is about to happen.

But there was no trace of it before, it was difficult to make it possible, it was because King Yan was full and had nothing to do, and he wanted to play the princes of the beacon fire and find some fun in his ordinary life.

This kind of speculation is also said by some dark villains who can't be on the stage in the depths of the market.

If the officials heard it, or if the people heard it, they would really kill the person who said it a thousand times.

Although King Yan is not a Ming monarch, in terms of governing the country, he is much stronger than the King Yan of previous dynasties, which is recognized by the people.

There are many political achievements in the past, so there are only a lot more people who speak for them.

Therefore, the best explanation for such a thing is that there are some things that should be done now, and some secrets that need to be witnessed by the whole world.

What is the specific secret, leave it until tomorrow morning, and the truth will be revealed.

Let's look at Nanyun Capital City.

The crossbow man actually had a plan in his heart, from the moment the old eunuch finished reciting the holy decree, he knew that it would be sooner or later, but why King Yan would be so powerful, this was something he didn't expect.

There is also this Qinyuan Inn, as a reception place for officials to enter the capital, why is it still so deserted after the matter spreads throughout Yanli, maybe someone has specially arranged it, whether it is this He Sheng, this is the question he had in his heart.

The crossbowman had been staying in the inn room and thinking, thinking about whether to tell the rest of his entourage about it.

Until late at night, He Sheng knocked on his door, saying that the prince of Pingxi had returned and brought Brother Xiao and a few people to the house as guests, and he would not return to the inn tonight.

This made the crossbow man a lot easier, and he also felt a little grateful to Yang Li in his heart.

Since someone helped him get rid of his worries first, the matter of entering the palace to face the saint was much simpler.

went, that is, it was just a formality, and when the time came, if they really asked, the matter would be clear, and they would ask for a mallet.

The crossbowman was smiling and lying on the bed, and his mood was much better.

Pingxi Palace, in the courtyard of the prince, a group of people are drinking and enjoying.

With a smile on his face, Yang Li asked Xiao Xiangfei and Luke about today's news in the palace, and prevaricated with a reason that the world would know as soon as tomorrow passed.

Subsequently, a group of people did not talk about the matter at all.

Nanyun City Outer Station, hundreds of officials gathered here tonight.

There are state and county officials, and there are also local petty officials.

In one room, there were several officials of similar rank.

At this moment, two people are regretting, saying that they knew that the little Taoist was the son of the crossbow general, and they said that they would marry the daughter of the family to him.

The bearded man who was sitting next to him smiled faintly as he watched the two arguing.

The rest of the people also calculated in their hearts and said something inconsequential.

At the same time, in General Yu's mansion, a woman was trying on a red dress in front of the dresser, and her face was flushed.

……

As soon as the fifth watch passed, the horn sounded in Nanyun City.

There was already an official car outside the Qinyuan Inn heading towards the palace.

The trail is no different from usual, with white and cyan robes and a mahogany hairpin.

His face was like water, and he sat in the curtain of the car.

The official car is parked under the thousand-step steps of the palace hall, which is the treatment only for princes.

There are hundreds of Yanli officials standing on the steps, and according to the size of the official rank, they are lined up in the main hall.

The trailsman waited in the car.

A eunuch's voice sounded in the main hall, "Xuanxuanqing's son crossbowman enters the hall!" ”

Xiaodao got off the bus, and under the gaze of the hundred officials, he stepped on the steps and walked towards the main hall.

In the main hall, the person in the dragon robe on the seat has a cold face, although the eyebrows and eyes are slightly closed, but overlooking the eight wildernesses, the spirit of the dragon rising still arises.

Under the throne, the prince Wenwu Gong stood on both sides.

There is the familiar Pingxi Wang's son Yang Li, Beishan is too guarded by Huang Yan, and there are many Yanli ministers who have never been seen.

Yang Li stood behind the head of the military attache in the main hall, and Huang Yan was in the back position of the civil official.

Both of them cast expressions of expectation at the Taoist, but the Taoist didn't know it.

The crossbowman stood in the center of the main hall, on the passage where the civil and military officials were separated, bowed down and said: "Mengran disciple crossbowman, see the king, the king is blessed with all the heavens." ”

After the crossbowman finished speaking, the courtiers began to talk in a whisper.

King Yan's face was still the same, and the old eunuch in front of him said: "The king has permission, and the crossbowman does not need to bow down." ”

When the ministers heard this, most of them were surprised, but they didn't dare to speak.

King Yan opened his eyes and said very calmly: "Crossbowman, you claim to be a disciple of Meng Ran, so have you ever admitted that you are the son of Crossbow Aiqing." ”

The crossbow man smiled lightly, "Why did the king come here to ask, Xiaodao has always called himself a disciple of the Dao Sect, and he has never borrowed the name of his father, and he does not dare to borrow it." ”

King Yan nodded, his eyes slightly condensed, "Then why did you receive the holy decree, and why did you rush to this hall, you know who the person you summoned is?" ”

Facing King Yan's seemingly calm question, in fact, there was a hidden murderous intention, the crossbowman had thought of this a long time ago, why did he dare to come here, it was because he was calm in his heart, there was nothing to hide, he could say what he thought, and he didn't care about other people's opinions.

The crossbow man raised his head and replied: "The king doesn't know, Xiaodao has already erected a tablet in front of his parents' grave, naturally the son of the great general died, and today he came to this palace, but he didn't dare to go against the will, it was a big crime to kill the head, as for why he dared to accept the order, it was because Xiaodao still owed the kindness of the people in heaven." ”

After hearing this, King Yan seemed to be smiling, and said: "A good self-erected tablet, a good one owes favors, come to someone, and give a seat to the little real person." ”

The ministers were in an uproar.

The crossbowman didn't understand why this Yan King was like this, so he had to thank him and sit in the center of the hall.

As everyone knows, in Yanli, such treatment can only be deserved by the great heroes of the country, but now it seems that this may not be the case.

Of course, most people are dissatisfied with the crossbowman being treated like this, but no one dares to come out and say it, that's because he can't be a crossbowman, it doesn't mean that the underground crossbow can't.

If you say something that you shouldn't say, you will be dismissed from your official position at the least, or beheaded at the worst.

Soon, the ministers quieted down and waited for King Yan to say more.

King Yan saw that the hall was quiet and leaned on the throne.

He spoke slowly, "How about Xiao Zhenren become the son of the crossbow green first?" ”

The crossbow man didn't think much of it, and nodded yes.

King Yan smiled on the armrest: "Since you are this crossbowman, do you know that you are guilty." ”

"Dare to ask the king, what is the crime of the courtiers?" The crossbowman replied.

King Yan looked at the ministers, "All the good generals who love Qing, who will tell me what crime the crossbowman committed." ”

Among the ministers, someone finally came out, an old official closest to the throne, he first saluted to King Yan, turned around and smiled, and said: "The son of the crossbow, the crossbow man, committed the two crimes of disloyalty and filial piety, disloyalty is not in a hurry to meet the king after leaving the mountain, concealing his identity and whereabouts, and not being filial to his parents passed away, knowing but not returning. ”

The ministers seconded.

But when the crossbowman heard this, he was immediately a little annoyed, and wanted to question this old official, why was he disloyal and unfilial.

But I don't want the old official to finish his words.

"However, thinking that you may not know, the so-called ignorant is not guilty, and there is no way to talk about the two sins here, and I think the king thinks the same way."

After speaking, the old officer turned around, saluted respectfully, and returned to his original position.

Yan Wang said: "What the empty old man said is in line with the lonely heart, who still has the words?" ”

No one in the temple stood up again.

King Yan turned to look at the crossbowman, his eyes narrowed again, "Lone not only won't blame you, but will also reward you, just as you are now this crossbowman, accept my Yang Feng's guilt towards the crossbow general." ”

King Yan even said his name, and his sincerity was visible.

But why is it just his Yang Feng's guilt, but not his Yang family's guilt.

The crossbow man knows very well that Yan is separated from a country, although the surname Yang is in the world, but Yan leaves the national rules, there is no distinction between high and low surnames in the world, only identity, origin, and ability can be decided.

Therefore, Yang Feng represents his entire royal family, not the person surnamed Yang in the world.

Another example is that Yan Li knows that the name of the general of the protector is crossbow green, but there are many such names whether in Yanli or other places, and not every crossbow green is a protector general, some people have noble status, and of course some people are ordinary and humble.

Otherwise, Yang Li's original identity as the son of the world would have been recognized long ago, and there would not have been a bloody matter in Huishui's son-in-law.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to conceal his true identity after a few words.

Then talk about the disloyalty and unfilial piety just now, if there is a crossbow man alone, as early as when his parents had an accident, he would be searched and killed.

However, this may only be one reason for knowing, and how complex the situation is, is not something he can fully know now.

Of course, he didn't want to dwell on this matter anymore, just because his parents' last wishes were great.

The crossbow man thought about the words of Yan Wang Yang Feng, and said: "The king doesn't have to feel guilty anymore, all the things are already known to the courtiers, and as for the reward, as a disciple of the Daomen, he doesn't care about this." ”

Yang Feng heard the crossbowman reply, and deliberately blinked, "Oh... Do you know what Gu wants to give you, so you are in a hurry to refuse. ”

The crossbowman shook his head and asked with a smile, "Dare to ask what the king is rewarding, how is it compared to this country?" ”

In this question, the ministers could no longer be quiet, but fortunately, they dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.

Yang Feng chuckled, still looking like a high-ranking emperor, "Your analogy is just right, comparing beauties to rivers and mountains." ”

The crossbowman immediately rushed to the wrong place, this question was originally used to test King Yan, who thought that he put it and the beauty together, and he really deserved to be the king of a country.

Yang Feng glanced at the crossbow man with his spare eyes, "Whether you are the son of a crossbow general, a Taoist protΓ©gΓ©, or an ordinary person, if you want to find a good mate in the end, then the reward that Gu said before is to give you a marriage, as for whether to accept it or not, you can think clearly and then reply." ”

When the crossbowman learned that it was a marriage, he thought that King Yan was going to reward him with a bunch of beauties, but both of them were very troublesome, so he asked: "I don't know who the king wants to marry the crossbowman?" ”

Yang Feng smiled mysteriously, didn't say anything more, and motioned to the old eunuch under the seat to announce the decree.

The old eunuch cleared his throat and said: "In the fifth year of Yanhua, in the early winter, the crossbow man, the son of the general who protects the country, returned to the capital, and the ministers came to congratulate, and he felt ashamed of the crossbow general's family, and originally intended to let the general's son rush to the army, serve as a light cavalry general, take over the remnants of the general, and entrust him with a heavy responsibility...... Lone respects the choice of the general's son, and in order to compensate, the crossbowman enjoys the treatment of a princely prince, and promises a marriage to find a beautiful woman in the world. ”

"Finish! Blow the horn! Tell the world! ”

After the old eunuch finished speaking, the trumpets of the capital sounded in unison as before.

The ministers knelt down and sighed at my king Enhao.

And Yang Feng, the king of Yan, walked into the screen, and the court meeting ended like this.
