Chapter 262: Cunning
Time passed quickly, and the ceremony of the prisoners was soon here. A grand event was held in the capital, first the contemporary national teacher personally presided over the sacrifice, and when the sacrifice was made, the soul dance was danced. When the dance like a heavenly demon ended, the entire capital suddenly became dark, and the sound of the dead soul was everywhere, which was the dead soul of the Great Zhou soldiers who died in battle.
Then Qin Guoshi danced the requiem dance again, and suddenly, the darkness in the sky was gone, and the heavens and the earth were peaceful, even the people who didn't know Taoism could feel comfortable. This is the soul of the soldiers who died in the Great Zhou Dynasty to be settled.
The people of the capital bowed to such a miracle, and the voices of the people praised it all around. Qin Guoshi's reputation has risen, and he has been able to catch up with her master, Shen Tianshi.
The emperor was also very satisfied, and he said to Xie Xiang beside him: "Xie Aiqing, Ming Yue can have such profound skills at a young age, and it is actually the same as before Shen Tianshi did not break through. This is really a young man. ”
Xie Xiang thought in his heart, now that Qin Guoshi's position as the national teacher has been completely secured. Not only is it universally embraced in the Daomen, but it has also established a strong image in the hearts of the people. Now in the whole world, there are really few people who dare to call Qin Guoshi Mingyue. That is, the emperor, you dare to call it that. The next emperor would not dare to shout like this if he was afraid.
Xie Ying praised Qin Mingyue a few words.
Then the emperor accepted the prisoners, worshiped heaven and earth, and comforted the ancestors. The final item of the tedious ritual is a lavish reward. Li Baichuan is no longer the assassin of Ba Province, he was transferred to the military department as a deputy secretary, which is an official position from Yipin. The commander of this war, Xiao Rui was already the prince, so he didn't give him any official position, but just gave him a lot of rewards, including manors, antiques, gold and silver treasures, and the like. However, all the officials know that Xiao Rui's position as the guardian of the dynasty is firm.
There are also rewards for several families who have contributed a lot in Ba Province. Among them, Bai Wencheng of the Bai family became the head of the family and was awarded the rank of the six-rank military department. This is just a reward, and it doesn't need to go to court. The two martial arts sects from the Bai family also sealed the official positions of the Great Zhou. The martial arts of the Gu family also sealed the Great Zhou for worship, and the Gu family dispatched many disciples this time, as military doctors, to save the dead and help the wounded, and made great contributions, and they were also crowned medical officers, ranging from four to eight grades. The head of the Gu family, Gu Chuanshi, also got a six-grade medical officer.
The highest reward is the Yun family's father and son. Yun Zhan first sealed the Great Zhou for worship, the military department of the five products was scattered and stayed in Ba Province, and Yun Feiyang was the commander of the three products. Among the remaining seven families in Ziba Province, Yun Home is the first.
After the reward was over, the people of the city were still very happy, because the emperor announced that the capital would be celebrated for three days without curfew. Suddenly, the capital became bustling and lively. Everywhere is sheng song and laughter.
In such a festive atmosphere, Song Yuru got a piece of news that made her heart cold.
Mama Li is really a talent, she used the connections she had accumulated in the palace for many years, plus some silver sent by Song Yuru, to buy some people and know, a secret of the sewing room.
At this moment, Song Yuru is seeing Mama Li in person. Originally, Mama Li couldn't leave the palace easily. However, Concubine Li Xian found an excuse, she rewarded her daughter-in-law Song Yuru with a box of official swallows and asked Mama Li to send it. In this way, Mama Li can come over in person.
Song Yuru's face was as cold as ice: "Mama Li, what you said is true?" Is the news of the sewing room exact? ”
Mama Li said: "The eighteen embroiderers who are responsible for sewing the queen's maiden dress are all the top embroiderers in the palace, and they originally embroidered dragon robes for the emperor. On weekdays, even mothers don't treat them well. They are all old people in the palace, and their mouths are the strongest. The slave and maid thought of many ways, but they didn't open the gap. Later, the slave maid found that among some of the embroidery girls who worked on the threads of the eighteen embroiderers, there was something happened in the family recently, and she entered the palace with a little letter and was anxious to use the money. The slave gave her some money and lured her to spy on the news. ”
However, for many days on end, she did not find any useful news. At this time, the sewing room also came to Concubine Xian three times twice to measure her body. Coaxed the virtuous concubine Niangniang very happy. Even the slave maid thought there was nothing wrong with this. I was happy in my heart, this embroidery girl suddenly overheard eighteen embroidery girls, one of them chatting with another one, discussing the size of this phoenix robe and said, Niangniang's phoenix robe may have to be changed to a smaller one, the size before Niangniang was just given birth to the prince. At that time, it was a little plump. Now, the little prince is older, and the mother's figure has gradually recovered, and she looks a lot thinner. This size is not accurate. But the mother resolutely refused to measure again, and just let us look at it, what can we do? ”
"The embroidery girl overheard it, and hurried to report it to the slave. The slave didn't dare to slack off, so she hurriedly told Niangniang, used a few people in Niangniang's hands, and found out another news in Sibao. Because of the recent sacrifice of prisoners, the emperor wants to reward the meritorious soldiers and compensate the soldiers who died in battle, so he spent all the silver in the treasury, and even the emperor's inner treasury also spent a lot. Seeing that the silver used to make the queen's crown could not be produced so much. King Qin suddenly told the emperor and quietly sent a lot of gems to the palace, and they were still praising these gems for being pure, big and beautiful. said, you can't buy such a good one with money on the market. Because of these gems, the cost of making them was greatly reduced, and now, it can be completed. ”
Song Yuru's face became even colder: "Giving birth to a prince? Recovering after giving birth? Unwilling to measure? Still looking for a concubine again and again? There is not enough silver to make the crown, Si Bao didn't say that he was looking for our Royal Highness, but he was looking for King Qin? Hmph, it goes without saying. Who are these phoenix robes made for? Definitely not for our mothers. I'm afraid this is made for Concubine Li. ”
It's not good, this is a big bad, Song Yuru's heart kept sinking down, as if she had fallen into the abyss.
Mama Li even cried: "Princess, you have to hurry up and talk to Your Highness, think of something?" Concubine Li is really cunning as a fox, she manages Si Bao, the sewing room, and deliberately makes an illusion, as if these are made for our mother, in fact, they are made for her. She deliberately deceived the world, so that when the time was right, she would catch us off guard. In terms of qualifications, where can Concubine Li compare with our mother? ”
"This matter, if the courtiers know about it, they must not agree, how can the latter position be held by the daughter of a small family like Concubine Li?"
Song Yuru said coldly: "No matter how low her background is, she also gave birth to two princes, this is the great merit of the concubine." What qualifications, what noble girl's background, can be compared to the merit of childbirth? ”
Mama Li was stunned for a moment.
