His Majesty's new favorite, the heirloom son of Ouyang Di in the Ministry of Water, married the second lady of the Guogong Mansion, but the daughter of the Shen Mu family made a big fuss about the wedding banquet.

The three of them are all newly promoted by His Majesty in recent years, Mu Yue has been in Beijing for a year, and he has become a Shaozhan in the East Palace, and Shen Xinyan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, even faintly has a call to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister.

The three families got together, and the veteran nobles of the whole capital were gloating and waiting to see the joke.

But they were all disappointed.

The Ouyang family did not go to His Majesty to complain because of this, and Ouyang's father and son even said "I don't know" about this matter.

The women of the Shen Mu family have met once or twice since they entered Beijing, Shen Xinyan and Mu Yue even looked at each other in front of the public, and they arched their hands to each other.

Now that this incident has happened, the two of them are still like no one else. In front of the door of the Sixth Department and the Twenty-fourth Division of Shangshu Province, the steps under his feet still did not stop, and when he glanced at each other, he still smiled gently, and still passed by.

But in the palace, in front of Emperor Jianming's case, there was an uproar.

Trembling and trembling on the ground knelt in a row of people, tall, short, fat and thin, men, women and children.

Lu Chun stood with his head bowed to the side, listening to Emperor Jianming's scolding that had been unstoppable for half an hour.

"You can't even find out who gave the prince this idea, so what use do I want you to do?" Emperor Jianming's face was blue, desperately restrained, and his fingers still couldn't help shaking.

The young man at the bottom, at first glance, was bold and said: "The slave didn't lie, the prince didn't know about it at all, and when he heard about it, he immediately called Mu Yue over and scolded him...... also said that his daughter was the root of the trouble, so that she died of illness quickly......"

Emperor Jianming looked at him coldly, and squeezed out a few words between his teeth: "Do you think I am as stupid as you?" ”

Glancing at the little chamberlain, Lu Chun bent down and whispered to Emperor Jianming: "Your Majesty, let them go first." The old slave turned around and quietly replaced them. ”

Emperor Jianming snorted, turned his face away and continued to get angry.

Lu Chun waved the dust tail in his hand, and the people kneeling below hurriedly got up and retreated quickly.

"The Mu family has a strict door, and the news has not been sent yet. Your Majesty, don't be angry yet, and then figure out what's going on. Lu Chun carefully brought him a cup of hot tea.

There was no one else in the imperial study, Emperor Jianming had a gloomy face, raised a pair of eagle-like sharp eyes, and asked in a low voice: "What about the Shen family?" ”

Lu Chun smiled bitterly: "The second lady was pulled by Luo's ears into the inner courtyard, I heard that she knelt in the big room for half an hour, and the old lady sent a message before returning to Ruru Courtyard." As soon as I went back, I invited Mrs. Meng over. The whole family is like a great enemy. But when Shen Shilang returned from Song Xiang's mansion, he lifted it high and put it down gently. It's just forbidden the feet of the second lady. ”

"What did Song Xiang say?" Emperor Jianming's face inexplicably improved.

Although Song Xiang was also taken aback, he didn't particularly care about Master Mu's character because he had always sneered at him. Just let Shen Shilang ignore him. ”

Emperor Jianming narrowed his eyes: "Could it really be that I am thinking too much?" ”

Lu Chun peeked at Emperor Jianming, and stopped talking.

Emperor Jianming looked at him coldly and remained silent.

Lu Chun hurriedly said in a low voice: "The old slave remembered that Shangsi was in Furong Garden, and the young lady of the Mu family, taking advantage of the second miss falling into the water, was very out of the limelight in front of the queen. The queen seems to like her very much. You said, could it be that she targeted the location of the East Palace, so she made such a fuss? ”

Emperor Jianming gave him a blank look: "If that's the case, it is estimated that he has been beaten to death by Mu Yue now!" The self-asserted female doll should be Roche's kind of management method! ”

At this moment, a cautious voice sounded from the waiter outside: "Shen Xinyan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, please see you." ”

"Yo. Delivered to your door? Emperor Jianming's eyebrows were raised.

Lu Chun's eyes rolled, and suddenly the thief smiled and whispered.

Emperor Jianming glanced at him with a smile and said softly: "Let Shen Xinyan hear your idea, I'm afraid I'm not going to find someone to beat you behind your back?" ”

Lu Chun smiled: "The old slave is His Majesty's person, and Shen Shilang still has the heart of loyalty to the king......

Emperor Jianming finally laughed out loud and waved his hand: "Xuan." ”

Shen Xinyan walked in with a stack of folds, and in the winter, there was already a slight sweat on the sideburns of his forehead.

"Your Majesty. Seven days later, there are only a few things left in the Winter Solstice Dynasty, and the minister has to invite the Holy Judge today, and it will be arranged in the evening. Shen Xin didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to business.

Emperor Jianming originally wanted to ask about the quarrel between Shen Hao and Mu Chanyuan, but when he heard that it was such a big matter, he immediately changed his color, reached out and took the fold, and discussed it with Shen Xinyan one by one.

"Now that the crown prince is established, then whether it is this year's winter solstice or next year's Yuanzheng, the first person to pay tribute to His Majesty's birthday should be His Royal Highness the Prince. Although this matter was also done by the eldest prince in previous years, the etiquette wording was different after all. A few days ago, the minister went to the East Palace to look for Weng Zhan, and he said that he was old and wanted Mu Shaozhan to do it. ”

Shen Xinyan talked about the matter, but he also frowned, and his face was disapproving: "Ranchen thinks that although Weng Lao is old, he only needs to supervise this matter, and he doesn't need to spend much physical strength. What's more, he has always been close to the prince, and the prince respects the old and respects the virtuous, and when he wants to come to practice, he can also be more serious.

"Master Mu is naturally good. But after all, I am not familiar with the affairs of Beijing. The minister said something that shouldn't be said, how long did Elder Weng stand in the Hanyuan Hall of Daming Palace? Can Master Mu see all the palaces in Hanyuan Hall now?

"This year is the first year of the crown prince's canonization, and the winter solstice is a national ceremony, not only inside and outside the feast, but also the temple sacrifices, which should not be so neglected."

Emperor Jianming frowned.

This prince is really indistinguishable!

Even if you want to lift Mu Yue, you can't take such a moment!

"Weng Shouzhu is in his sixties, and he is sick; In the winter, he really couldn't hold on. Shen Qing, don't worry, I will let Su Guogong handle this matter. Emperor Jianming unceremoniously chose a military general with a higher status than Weng Zhiheng to supervise the crown prince.

Shen Xinyan froze for a moment, thought about it carefully, and smiled: "It's not time for Su Guogong to go!" He couldn't be idle a few years ago, didn't he still manage Qianniuwei in the capital for a few years? ”

Qianniu Wei is the emperor's attendant and honor guard in the twelve guards of the capital, and it is the guard in the winter solstice Yuanzheng and various sacrificial ceremonies.

Emperor Jianming also felt that he was simply a stroke of genius, smiled proudly, and followed this topic to test Shen Xinyan: "Speaking of Mu Shaozhan, I have heard a few gossips in the past two days......

"Your Majesty, important matters. The minister can't let those miscellaneous things divide the minister's heart to do the right thing. The winter solstice is Yuanzheng, and all nations come to the court, which is not only the most important errand of the minister's year; That is still the face of the country, the face of the Great Qin world, and the face of Your Majesty.

"Others, for ministers, are idle ears."

Shen Xinyan was gentle and polite, but his words were sonorous.
