Enthronement Ceremony VI

"That's a good idea, which of you had the idea?" Mo Wuxian propped his head, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and he couldn't see what he meant by this matter.

The left minister triumphantly glanced at the right minister sitting opposite him, stood up and saluted, "Back to Your Highness, it's the minister's idea." "The left minister is about forty years old, he is the upstart who was just mentioned by the Eastern Zhou Emperor a few years ago, and said that he was an upstart, but he was pressed by the right minister in the court. It just so happens that he also has a sixteen-year-old daughter, in this capital, whether it is talent, family background or appearance, he is one of the best, if he can enter the palace as the queen, where can the right minister still suppress him? So he naturally spared no effort to make this happen.

But what kind of person is this right minister, that is the old fox who has gone through two dynasties and immediately mixed with the third dynasty, the ability to observe words and colors is not blown, what does it mean to be a king side by side, he has also figured out a little bit in the past few days, and now the left minister is in a hurry to die, and he is happy to watch the play.

Seeing the open and secret struggle between the two, Mo Wuxian quietly picked up the teacup and took a sip, "This king heard that there is a young lady in the Zuo Xiang family, who is very talented?" ”

Zuo Xiang was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly replied: "The posture of the little girl Pu Liu, I don't deserve such praise from the prince, but..."

"It turns out that Zuo Xiang also knows that she is just Pu Liu's posture, since she can't be in the hall of elegance, is it difficult for Zuo Xiang to give it to this king?" Mo Wuxian said first.

The smile on Zuo Xiang's face immediately froze, he was just modest according to the routine, how could he have thought that the person in front of him didn't play cards according to the routine at all, and now wouldn't this sentence cut off his daughter's life? If the king of the side by side refuses to accept her, and this comment spreads again, where will anyone come to the door to ask for marriage in the future? "Lord Wang..." Zuo Xiang hurriedly spoke, wanting to remedy two sentences.

"Okay, Zuo Xiang doesn't need to say it, what do you mean, this king knows very well in his heart." Mo Wuxian didn't give him a chance to make amends at all, and interrupted with a wave of his hand.

looked at the people with different expressions below, and continued: "No matter how good the princess of the palace is, it will not be your turn to talk nonsense and point fingers. It just so happens that you have mentioned this matter today, and this king will talk to you about it. After the king ascended the throne, the princess was naturally the queen, but the princess's health was not good, so she was temporarily placed in the palace to recuperate, and waited until she was better before entering the palace. Also, don't think about sending your own girl to this king every day, this king is not a charity center, don't stuff any cats and dogs, if you really can't get married, this king can help you collectively send them to practice in the nunnery. This time, if you are innocent of ignorance, if you dare to have a next time, don't blame this king for being ruthless! ”

"It's... Lord Wang, Lord Wang means... Don't plan to take a concubine? After a long period of silence, Zuo Xiang asked everyone's hearts tremblingly under the pleading gaze of everyone.

"Why, isn't what this king said obvious enough?" Mo Wuxian glanced at him, and his red lips pursed slightly.

"Lord, no!" Zuo Xiang hurriedly led a group of people to kneel.

Then there was an extremely embarrassing scene, followed by Zuo Xiang kneeling down were all the upstarts who had not yet come out of the cabinet, and those old foxes who had become elves in the court and those clans did not kneel down and ask for their lives.

After Zuo Xiang knelt down, he secretly glanced around, and after seeing those people who were still sitting still, his heart suddenly panicked, and his palms were sweating unconsciously, was it really wrong this time?

"Are you planning to coerce this king?" Looking at the kneeling crowd, Mo Wuxian smiled.

"The ministers don't dare." The crowd hurriedly replied.

"Don't dare? This king sees that you are very daring! Is it true that this king doesn't care about things these days, and you have forgotten what kind of character this king is? Or do you think that the king can't do the matter of killing court officials before he ascends the throne? Mo Wuxian sneered.

"The prince is angry." Hearing Mo Wuxian say this, Zuo Xiang and the others also understood that they had really made a bad move this time. In the past, it has become a practice for the new emperor to ascend the throne and marry the daughters of the ministers of the court to consolidate the throne, so that they take it for granted that every new emperor must do this to win over them, but they have forgotten one thing, this new emperor is not those hairy boys with shallow roots in the past, he is the king who controls half of the soldiers and horses in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, has a deep foundation and is ruthless, and there is no need to consolidate the throne by wooing them, in fact, his throne in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, no one can shake it at all. Thinking about this, they were instantly shocked into a cold sweat, how lacking are they in the heart? Do you dare to pull your beard? It's really that the prince doesn't care about things these days, so they really treat themselves as dishes invisibly.

Mo Wuxian stared at the kneeling man below, and didn't speak for a long time.

Just when the kneeling people were trembling and wondering if they were going to plant it this time, they heard Mo Wuxian say lightly: "Okay, get up, go back and do your part, this king is in a good mood today, so I won't worry about you." As for the princess's matter, the postponement of the postponement of the postponement ceremony has been understood? ”

Everyone instantly breathed a sigh of relief and said in unison: "Thank you, Lord Wang." ”

Mo Wuxian waved his hand impatiently, signaling that they could leave. Everyone has just experienced a test of life and death, and they don't dare to stay any longer, the prince is moody, if he stays any longer, maybe he will anger him at some point, or it is better to stay away.

After everyone left, Gu Ange, who had been watching the play on the side, asked with a smile, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"I prefer Ange, you are free and uninhibited." Mo Wuxian looked at Gu Ange's eyes and said seriously, "The small world on that side of the palace is not the place you should stay. Compared to the golden and precious ones raised in the deep palace, I prefer the appearance of you scolding Fang Xuan and pointing out the country. ”

"So? Could it be that you still plan to let me enter the court as an official? Gu Ange raised his eyebrows.

"Why not?" Mo Wuxian asked with a smile.

"Do you think those people will agree?" Now she still has the reputation of being lucky, and those people are not so easy to let go.

"Who dares to stop the things that this king wants to do, Ange, don't worry, this king will take care of these things." Mo Wuxian replied firmly, "No matter what, you just need to be by my side. ”

"Being a piece of waste by your side? Or do you want to take care of all that I use as a vase? Gu Ange asked with a smile.

"That's not what I meant..."Mo Wuxian was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly opened his mouth to explain.

"I know you didn't mean that." Gu Ange said, paused and continued to speak, "Since you have so much confidence in me, you should let me deal with these things by myself, don't worry, I am not a vegetarian, even without you, I can break through the world." Don't you believe it? ”

Mo Wuxian was stunned for a moment, he didn't think of so much, he just blindly thought about clearing all the obstacles for her and giving her a wide and flat avenue, but forgot that the person in front of him was not a silk flower who would hide under his wings, but could work hand in hand with him to resist all the thorn bushes of tribulation, and there were some things that she had to deal with by herself.

"Then it's hard work." Mo Wuxian smiled brightly.

Gu Ange smiled faintly and nodded slightly.

"Then what are Ange's plans now?" Mo Wuxian asked.

"Find a chance to take the township exam, I should be able to catch up with the township exam next fall, right?" Gu Ange asked with some uncertainty.

"Are you planning to follow the path of the imperial examination?" Mo Wuxian reacted instantly.

"The path of the imperial examination is above board, and no one can say anything." Gu Ange replied. Taking the path of the imperial examination, those broken-mouthed guys will never say that she is relying on Mo Wuxian's momentum.

Mo Wuxian also understood this truth, lowered his head and thought about it, "That's right, then I'll help you find a reliable gentleman during this time." "After all, An Ge is not specialized in this, there are so many students in the imperial examination, even if An Ge is talented, Mo Wuxian will inevitably be worried.

"Okay." Gu Ange nodded and gladly accepted the proposal.

And so the matter was settled.

Soon, the days flickered to the day of the enthronement ceremony, after experiencing the princess, the upstarts led by Zuo Xiang also restrained a lot, and during this period of time, An An did what he should do, and did not make any more trouble.

The enthronement ceremony can be described as boring and tight, after experiencing a bunch of boring and cumbersome procedures such as sealing the Zen sacrifice to the heavens, amnesty to the world, promulgating edicts, accepting the worship of the ministers, etc., with a voice, "The emperor is majestic to all countries, and our subjects are extremely happy." "Accept the jade seal of the country, and the enthronement ceremony is over.

After the enthronement ceremony, it was naturally a slightly more interesting banquet than the ceremony.

The Eastern Zhou Dynasty is a big country, and the envoys sent by various countries naturally can't be too rude, except for the crown prince An Liujiang sent by Southern Xinjiang, the people from Western Zheng and Northern Desert are also old acquaintances.

The person from the Northern Desert is the thirteenth prince Wan Yan Wu, Wan Yan Wu's means are really good, after returning to China, the limelight is close to the two sons and one daughter of the King of the Northern Desert, and there are also many important ministers of the Northern Desert in his hands, and now the King of the Northern Desert has to weigh one or two if he wants to do something to him, and the most important thing is that since Wan Yan Wu's mother died in the palace in vain, his temperament has become more and more elusive, and many times, those three have to avoid their edge. Originally, this trip to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty should not have been for him, and the original idea of the Northern Desert King was to let Helian Fei bring the eldest prince with him, but it may be that Helian Fei was tossed too miserably by Mo Wuxian last time, and this time he said that he was not willing to come again, and the eldest prince saw that Helian Fei could not come, and he was afraid that there would be danger, and if something happened, it would be cheap, and others would not want to come. In the end, it couldn't, and the King of the Northern Desert could only order Yan Wu.

And Xizheng's side is naturally Guangyu Wang Zhengqian. The courtiers of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty naturally already knew that Lin Qian, the champion of the new department, was the king of Western Zheng Guangyu, Zheng Qian, but this did not prevent them from throwing him white eyes and cynicism when they saw him. Although the people of Xizheng couldn't see their prince being treated like this and wanted to do it, they were stopped by Zheng Qian. First, after all, this is the territory of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and it can't be too arrogant. Second, what everyone in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty said is also the truth, in all fairness, if it was the champion of his own new department that was made by another country, it is estimated that he would have taken a knife to cut it a long time ago, but now it is just a few words of verbal ridicule, Zheng Qian feels that the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is already quite polite.

Speaking of which, the seating arrangement of this banquet is also quite interesting, the first seat that the new emperor is holding is not the prince of the clan, not the important ministers of the court, but a little boy dressed in green clothes and less than a weak crown, holding a folding fan in his hand, smiling on his lips, I don't know what he is talking about, and the original king of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the current new emperor is holding his head and watching him listen quietly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes are focused, and the little prince will look at him from time to time, these two people actually give people a feeling that others can't get into half a point.

And sitting under the little boy in green clothes was a young man who looked like a weak scholar, also like the little boy, dressed in regular clothes, in stark contrast to the cautious ministers around him who were wearing solemn official uniforms and could not hide their seriousness even with a smile on their faces.

Under the two of them, they are the powerful courtiers of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

However, for such an arrangement, no one in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty expressed any dissatisfied opinions, not only did they not, but many people toasted to the two people from afar, and they were respectful and humble.

Only An Liujiang didn't know the details of these two people, so he couldn't help but ask Wan Yanwu, who was sitting next to him, curiously.

"Eh, does the Thirteenth Prince know who those two are?" Most of the people in southern Xinjiang are casual, even though An Liujiang is the crown prince of southern Xinjiang, he is also open-minded.

Wanyan Wumu made a face, glanced at Gu Ange, who didn't know what to say to Mo Wuxian, and then said to An Liujiang: "They are the henchmen of the new emperor. ”

"Henchman?" An Liujiang raised his eyebrows, "It's just a henchman, so it's not very in line with the rules of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, right?" "The Eastern Zhou Dynasty is known as the state of etiquette, and An Liujiang still knows a lot about those messy and broken rules, and now this arrangement can be described as extremely rude.

Wan Yanwu glanced at him, didn't answer his question again, just drank to himself.

Zheng Qian on the other side answered, "Those two are not ordinary henchmen, they are the henchmen of the new emperor's henchmen, and now they have more skills from the dragon, maybe when they will be crowned marquis and worship the prime minister, and the power will be tilted towards the government and the opposition." ”

An Liujiang glanced at Zheng Qian, who had a smile on the corner of his mouth but a cold look in his eyes, frowned, and ignored him. People like Zheng Qian, who are calculating others all the time, are what An Liujiang hates the most.

Touching a soft nail, Zheng Qian's eyes were slightly gloomy, but he still maintained a gentle smile on his face, shook his head, and turned his head to talk to the people around him.

"I am very happy that you can come to participate in my enthronement ceremony today, and I wish you all a happy trip to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty." This kind of banquet is naturally indispensable for a few high-sounding words, and Mo Wuxian, who was sitting on it, raised his wine glass and said in a deep voice.

"Congratulations to the new emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty on his succession." The envoys of various countries also raised their glasses and saluted in return.

The two parties drank the wine in the glass, Mo Wuxian glanced at the waiter beside him, the waiter understood, clapped his hands, and then ran in from outside A group of dancing girls dressed in colorful clothes came in, and then naturally there was a long time of staggering.
