Chapter 681: The Demon Gate Turns Positive, and Wan Wan Returns to Beijing
In the first big year of the complete reunification of the empire, the celebration was extraordinarily grand, and it was too cumbersome to watch the whole set of processes sorted out by the officials of the Ministry of Rites, sprinkled with tens of thousands of words.
If you follow that process for the New Year, it is not enjoyment at all, but suffering, and then with a stroke of the pen, you will cross out nine percent of the processes, leaving only a few extremely simple processes.
The first is to take a car to parade the streets, accept the greetings of the people, and of course, you can also say hello to the people by the way, and show your closeness to the people.
The second is to sacrifice to the sky, although I really want to cross out this matter, but in the resentful eyes of a group of officials of the Ministry of Rites, I still decided to follow the customs of the locals and keep this useless but very troublesome sacrifice to the sky.
The third is the state banquet, which can be attended by all officials in Beijing, as well as members of other countries' missions in Beijing......
……
Qingxuan's sister, who has always liked to run around, is also rare that she did not run out to play, but obediently sat beside Zhang Tiancheng and accompanied her throughout the street.
It's that the dress doesn't look like a queen of the world at all, and the plain white clothes are quite unruly, of course, His Majesty the Emperor is also unruly, and he is wearing a very simple black suit.
Although the costumes are simple to the extreme, how pleasing to the eye is when the two are together, just like a pair of beautiful people walking in the painting.
Such two young little brothers and sisters are really difficult to think of as the emperor and empress, especially the young, handsome and very kind little brother, who really doesn't look like an emperor who is decisive and has completed the unification of the world in just over three years.
Even the concubine Xuan, who was mixed in the crowd to observe and protect by the way, felt a little incredible, how did a courier brother become so powerful after crossing once?
And according to the investigation of these days, it was found that this courier brother has not crossed over since he was a child, it should be Xu Ziling who accidentally passed out more than four years ago.
Suddenly seeing the courier brother turn his head to look at herself, Concubine Shi hurriedly lowered her head, she didn't know what she was afraid of, anyway, she just didn't want to be recognized by this guy.
"Concubine Xuan Fairy, since you are still in the capital, you must attend tonight's state banquet." Under the effect of telekinesis, the voice was restrained into a thin line and directly entered the ears of the concubine.
"I'm a monk and I like to be pure, so I won't bother." He declined the invitation and turned away without looking back.
"Brother Tiancheng, what did you say to Sister Concubine Xuan, why did you lose your popularity?"
"I just invited her to a state dinner, and that can make her popular?"
“…… You must have offended her in your last life, and every time I say nice things about you, she is not very happy. ”
"Then she is really a narrow-minded person, and she still remembers the hatred in her previous life."
"Don't talk nonsense, she's not a stingy person, she's helped you a lot several times."
"I know, so I really respect her, and I've never been slacking off, but she's just prejudiced against me, what else can I do?"
"Didn't you have Liu Bei in the Three Kingdoms to invite Zhuge Liang, otherwise you would also learn from Liu Bei, and it might be effective to invite Sister Concubine Xuan out of the mountain in person."
"The problem is that she is not a man, and she is also a very beautiful beauty, if I go to ask people again and again, people who don't know still think that I am interested in seeing sex, then I will definitely be written as a dog emperor who is extravagant."
"Among the many rumors in the market, you are a lustful emperor, if you really care, why don't you arrest those who talk nonsense?"
"Well, if I could, I'd rather catch those guys who threw dirt on you first."
"That's going to be difficult, at least half of the officials in the court look at me unpleasantly."
"That's why you're so well-behaved today?"
"People don't want you to be too difficult."
"Take your time, why are we still young, there is time, after a new batch of talents are trained and become the pillars of the country, the situation will not be as serious as it is now."
The two people sitting on the float chatted without saying a word, and from time to time waved to the cheering people around them, which attracted more enthusiastic cheers, and many people habitually knelt down on the ground and shouted long live.
Although this ritual has been abolished by law, it has not forcibly forbidden the people to worship spontaneously, and the people of this era do not think that there is anything wrong with this etiquette, so under the cluster effect, there are very few people who can stand.
However, from the people who were still standing, he saw a very familiar person, who was the Holy Maiden of the Demon Gate who had not been seen for more than two years.
Although I haven't seen it for more than two years, I still recognize it at a glance, and although that kind of magic Dafa has been completely eliminated, the imprint is still very profound......
When she saw Zhang Tiancheng looking at her, Wan Wan's eyes suddenly lit up, but when she saw Shi Qingxuan, who was sitting next to Zhou Bufan, also looking at her, her bright eyes suddenly paled.
"She's so bold that she dares to sneak back to see you."
"This, a few days ago, because the Demon Gate made a lot of contributions in Yingzhou, according to the laws of the empire, she has been pardoned, and in principle, she can also return to the capital."
“…… You really miss her, what Sister Concubine Xuan said is really right, you are a big carrot! ”
"This matter is really not my idea, it was the decision of Du Fuwei, the governor of Yingzhou, and then more than half of the officials in the court seconded it, so it was passed."
"You are the emperor, you have the right to veto, don't deny it, in the final analysis, you still want to see her."
"Well, I can swear that I won't invite her into the palace to meet her in the future."
"Don't, don't, now some people are already scolding me for being a demon queen, saying that I can't lay eggs myself, and I dominate you all day long......"
"What the hell is that bastard, scolding so ugly, I'm going to arrest him."
"If you really do that, I'll be really the queen of demons, and I won't be able to wash it away for the rest of my life."
“…… It's really hard for you, at such a young age, you should be a carefree youth, but you have borne such a big burden in your heart. ”
"I also feel really uncomfortable being a queen, but when I think of so many girls' envious, jealous and hateful eyes, it seems that being scolded and scolded is not so uncomfortable."
Looking at the two chatting and laughing on the float, the little confidence that Wan Wan had standing in the distance was gone.
At that time, he received news that His Majesty the Emperor had agreed to pardon the people in the Holy Gate, and from then on they could enjoy all the rights that ordinary people in the empire should have, and the Holy Gate was no longer a demon gate, but a legal sect that was governed by the laws of the imperial court and protected by the laws of the imperial court.
At that time, I took it for granted that the reason why the imperial court, which had been infiltrated by Cihang Jingzhai Pure Nian Zen Buddhism, could pass was completely because His Majesty the young emperor was obsessed with him, and of course he was overjoyed in his heart.
I was full of confidence and was ready to go back to Beijing to do a big job, even if I couldn't snatch the back position of Na Qingxuan, at least I could mix up with a concubine, but I didn't expect to return to the capital and not receive a summons from His Majesty the Emperor.
If the emperor really had the heart, he could definitely know that he had returned to Beijing as soon as possible, but he was not summoned, and he didn't even come to meet in private, and his self-confidence had been hit unclear.
And today, I deliberately came to meet, although I have successfully attracted the attention of His Majesty the Emperor, but I only glanced at it very calmly, and I didn't have too much nostalgia.
As the float drifted away, he never looked back.
"Don't look at it, go back!" Zhu Yuyan's voice sounded behind Wan Wan.
"The disciple has disappointed you."
"There's nothing to be disappointed about, Wanjing is very favored in the palace, and she can also balance the dominance of Cihang's family, and now there is a delicate balance in the court...... If you really enter the palace to charm the king, then the holy woman of Cihang Jingzhai will definitely take action, not because the teacher despised you, we are by no means her opponent. Zhu Yuyan, who was left with a serious psychological shadow by Concubine Xuan, every time she thought of Concubine Xuan's demonic character, she was a little involuntarily flustered.
The eyes also looked around involuntarily, but when I thought of the Chinese imperial capital here, even the concubine Xuan would not be able to do it in the imperial capital, so I was a lot more relieved, and pulled Wan Wan back quickly, and the Dongming faction was in the imperial capital.
In fact, all this was really seen by the concubine Xuan who was sitting on the roof of the bell tower drinking tea, in fact, she personally did not have much disgust for the demon gate, and even had a good impression of Wan Wan.
This is also why he didn't take advantage of the victory to chase and wipe out the demon gate, if he really went all out, Zhu Yuyan Wanwan would definitely not be able to escape her pursuit, and even the Dongming faction, which was already quite powerful, could be wiped out at will.
It's just that doing this is purely to increase the killing, it's meaningless, and there's really no interest, as long as no one comes to provoke Cihang Jingzhai, and no one bullies the master who is so kind to him.
"Concubine Xuan's nephew, it's really good Yaxing!" The sound of the air came from a distance, and the person also fell lightly on the top of the bell tower, and casually went to the teacup and poured himself a cup, "Don't say it, sitting on the top of this bell tower and drinking tea, it really has a different flavor." ”
"Why did you come to the imperial capital too?"
"It's not just me who came, but your master also came."
"Afraid that the Demon Gate will cause trouble again?"
"Of course not, with the power of today's saints, it is easy to control the demon gate."
"Then why did your old master and you go down the mountain?"
"Naturally, it is to look at the prosperity of this imperial capital and enjoy the fun of the New Year in the mortal world."
