Chapter 43: The Upper Dynasty
Following
After a whole day and a night's journey, he finally arrived at Lingyang City before sunrise, Li Yuhan stopped the carriage, jumped down, stood on the open ground, looked up at the majestic city tower in front of him, this is the second time he has come here, this trip will definitely complete his heart's wish!
He stood on the ground and thought for a moment, then turned around and got into the carriage, drove the carriage to the security check at the gate of the city, and after passing the inspection of the officers and soldiers, he drove the carriage slowly into the city.
As soon as I entered the door, the hawkers chattered endlessly from the side of the road, and although it was still early in the morning, the vendors had set up their stalls early
Looking at the scene on the street, Li Yuhan couldn't help but sigh with emotion, it is worthy of the capital, there is such a prosperous scene at any time.
Li Jia has never come out so far, this time the journey is too far, the bumps of a day and a night make her extremely uncomfortable, her stomach is full of pantothenic acid, and her face is slightly pale, but she must endure it, this matter must not let Yu Han know, otherwise he will definitely stop and rest, tomorrow is the palace test, and it must not be delayed
She could only move her body, lean her back against the side of the carriage, close her eyes and recuperate, to relieve her physical discomfort
Suddenly I heard a noise outside, it seemed to be the sound of a hawker, arrived in the capital?
She lifted the curtain of the window and looked at the scene on the side of the road, which was no longer what it was back then, and sighed
"This capital is really a big change! I haven't been back for eighteen years, and I really can't recognize it."
Li Yuhan heard his mother's words and smiled slightly, "Mother, we will settle here in the future, you can take a look at how you lived here back then." ”
Speaking of that year, Li Jia's heart sank, but seeing her son's good mood, she couldn't bear to say it, it made him feel hazy, these should not have been borne by him, it was her own uselessness that made Yuhan's background so embarrassing
After half a ring, Li Yuhan didn't hear his mother's reply, he turned his head to look, and happened to see her looking out the window and was stunned, sighing in his heart, his mother remembered those painful things back then
This is a knot in her heart that she can't untie for so many years!
The bell still needs to be tied to the bell, and this heart knot makes her feel relieved, and it is useless for him to say more.
Drive the carriage towards the Baiyun Inn that the teacher has already said, settle down first!
……
morning
The courtiers had already arrived, and they stood in place in turn, quietly waiting for the emperor to come to the early court.
Zuo Shilang turned his head to the military department Shangshu next to him and asked, "Isn't Li Bo's matter already decided?" Why do you want us to watch the execution process all the time in the afternoon! ”
As soon as the military department heard it, "The squire should be cautious, this matter was ordered by the emperor, then Li Bo is extremely evil, as a court official, he is so wrong, you can't speculate about the holy will"
A sentence made Zuo Shilang close his mouth, the hall was already very quiet, and only the sound of everyone's breathing could be heard, and as soon as this sentence came out, it directly entered the ears of every courtier.
All the courtiers talked about it, and they were terrified, the emperor was obviously a warning to all of them, let them take care of their own hands and feet, otherwise they would end up being the next Li Bo
Seeing this panicked situation, Shangguan Haoyu was disdainful, this group of cowards is usually not very proud, but now it is just a Li Bo, so they are scared like this
Suddenly, a eunuch stood on the jade steps as usual and shouted, "The emperor has arrived!" ”
The courtiers hurriedly tidied up their appearance, stood up, knelt down and buckled their heads according to the courtesy, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
Qi Hanxuan was dressed in a bright yellow embroidered dragon robe, and wore a dragon crown inlaid with a superb ruby on his head, striding forward, walking to the throne and sitting down, waving his sleeves "Zhong Aiqing is flat"
"Emperor Xie"
The ministers saluted and stood up, and the hall was so quiet that even their own breathing could be heard, and no one reported to the court
Seeing them like this, Qi Hanxuan sneered in his heart, and was frightened?
It's just that they are just going to watch the execution, isn't it very bold when they are corrupt and bend the law for personal gain?
He swept them around coldly, but no one was ready to play, and his eyes instantly locked on a minister, and he said, "The military department is still in the book, how is the situation of the bandits in the south?" ”
Hearing the emperor's inquiry, the military department Shangshu hurriedly knelt down in the middle, and replied, "Your Majesty, Weichen has sent a team of soldiers in the army to suppress it, and ordered Major General Wang to lead it, he has always been resourceful, and this time he will definitely be able to suppress the rampant banditry."
"Yesterday, the guards came to deliver a message, saying that Major General Wang is sending people to deal with unjust cases, and has won the trust of some people, and it is estimated that it will take a long time to suppress the people's anger, and most of the bandits are ordinary people, as long as they see that the officials are indeed in charge of them, they will be disbanded."
"Well, you have to keep an eye on this matter, you must not fight with the people, cause greater public anger, and let people find out those who are coaxing among the people, the people are simple, if no one takes the lead, how can they make trouble and join the bandits?"
Qi Hanxuan thought for a while, looked at him and commanded.
"Wechen obeys!"
"Get up"
"Emperor Xie!" With that, Shang Shu stood up, returned to his original position, and then stood up.
Silence resumed in the hall, seeing that there was still no one to play, Shangguan Haoyu walked to the middle, bowed, "Your Majesty, in a few days it will be the birthday of the Queen Mother, in previous years, the Queen Mother practiced in the Buddhist temple and refused to return to the palace, I don't know how to do this year?" ”
The Queen Mother is his biological daughter, he wants to ask, after all, if it is calculated by generation, the current emperor is the only concubine of the Queen Mother, and he is also his grandson, he must remember that he also has half of the blood of the Shangguan family!
Hearing this, Qi Hanxuan's eyes froze, and suddenly a cold light burst out, this old horseman, don't think that he doesn't know what wishful thinking she is making!
He wants the queen mother to return to the palace to be a backer for their Shangguan family! So that his granddaughter Shangguan Ruoli will become the head of the middle palace like the queen mother, hum! Is he qualified to rule over his queen?
Moreover, he is the only son of the queen mother, and the queen mother has promised him since he was a child that his future wife will let him choose his beloved, and she will not help his mother! So, for so many years, he didn't have a wife.
Thinking of this, he pursed his lips and looked at him with dark eyes, it seems that his plan is going to be advanced, and he has to cooperate with Yue Xiaoyi first.
"I will send someone to the Buddhist temple to greet this matter, if the queen mother wants to continue practicing in the Buddhist temple today, and on the day of her birthday, I will feast the ministers and celebrate the queen mother."
"If the queen mother is willing to come back, let the queen mother take over the power of the six palaces and handle it herself."
Shangguan Haoyu was overjoyed, if Xue'er was willing to come back, he would definitely be able to help Li'er, but Li'er was her niece!
Thinking of this, he bowed "Weichen obeyed the order" and returned to his position.
Qi Hanxuan saw that there was still no one to play, and glanced at Zhou Fu next to him.
After receiving the signal, he hurriedly walked to the front and said to the ministers, "If there is something to do, there is nothing to retreat from"
The important ministers knelt down one after another and buckled their heads, "Congratulations to the emperor!" ”
Qi Hanxuan stood up and strode out from the main entrance.
It wasn't until he went out that the important ministers got up one after another, went home from the court, and went to the noon gate to see the beheading.
