Chapter 504: The Divine Decree After the Seal (I)
After a long journey of more than half a month, Duanmu Lingyu and his party finally returned to Shangjing, which was about to be lost for a long time.
The current dragon was replaced as early as after entering Yuhan's border. Although it was already gorgeous, after all, it had been decorated in order to hurry, and it didn't seem worthy of the status of a god-king. Duanmu Lingyu, as the emperor of Yuhan, deserves to enjoy the best of Yuhan. Therefore, as soon as they set foot on the land of Yuhan, officials sent a large army to escort the gorgeous chariot to wait here.
Even if they were kneeling here and staring for nearly two hours, as long as Duanmu Lingyu said yes, they would be grateful in their hearts. Sitting on the gorgeous dragon bowl, Mu Qingya looked through the shaking curtain at the people who were kneeling on the ground and chanting endlessly, with a hint of excitement in her eyes.
It stands to reason that when Duanmu Lingyu returned to Beijing, the people who went to Beijing would avoid it, but because there was Mo Junqing who accompanied him this time, he did not let the officials arrange it in advance, which caused the entire street to be full of people kneeling and chanting.
Listening to the resounding "Long live, long live, long live", Mu Qingya was very proud in her heart, and looked at Duanmu Lingyu with a smile: "You are very loved and supported by the people. ”
"It's nature. I reduce their taxes, so that they can be fed and clothed, and they can live and work in peace as long as they work, and they naturally like me. ”
Mu Qingya nodded, looking at the people outside, the illusory feeling that had just permeated her heart slowly dissipated: this was her home, a place she secretly maintained and missed. It's just that I don't know where my father and An Zhi are at this time?
Inside the carriage, Mo Junqing's expression was a little confused, he knew that Duanmu Lingyu was very loved by the people, but he didn't expect the scene to be so enthusiastic. There were many officers and soldiers guarding on both sides of the road, but these officers and soldiers were just standing there, as if they were not worried at all about the people crowding on both sides of the road, which was not good for Duanmu Lingyu. The most surprising thing is the people of Yuhan, they have obviously been squeezed into no place, but no one has moved forward, as if they are afraid of blocking the path of Duanmu Lingyu Long, it can be seen that their eyes looking at Longyu are full of reverence and support.
During the salute, he even saw a child fall to the ground without standing firm for a while, and the first to help him was actually the officers and soldiers standing on the side of the road to help the guards, such a scene is really unimaginable. His father Mo Ao is already an emperor who is supported by the people, but compared with Duanmu Lingyu, the gap is simply different.
Duanmu Mingli knew what he was thinking, smiled slightly, and said, "Lord Wang, you don't have to be surprised by this, after Lord Mu left all these years, the imperial brother put all his thoughts on national affairs. Compared with the time of his father, the emperor, the taxes on the people were reduced by three layers, and the royal brother drew money from the treasury to build water conservancy for the people...... After accumulating little by little, after the tax collection in the past few years, the treasury is not empty at all, but more and more abundant, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, so they naturally support the royal brother. ”
Mo Junqing nodded thoughtfully: "What you said is right, the people's minds are the simplest. ”
Duanmu Mingli smiled: "If the prince is interested, if you have time, you can go and see the canal built by the imperial brother." I heard that this kind of canal is extremely convenient for irrigation, and it was Lord Mu Yizhi, the father of the county lord of Mu, who led the Ministry of Industry to supervise the construction. Speaking of the canal, it was naturally mentioned by Duanmu Lingyu and Mu Qingya after she instructed her, in order to increase her weight.
Mo Junqing was stunned, Mu Yizhi? Qingya's father, the thought flashed in his mind, and he suddenly understood in his heart that this kind of canal should be Qingya's idea. In the previous life, there were frequent droughts in the north of Lanling Kingdom, and the people lived in hardship and the people were not able to make a living, when they fled, they met an old monk in the pine forest mountains in the north, and he told Qingya about this method of building canals. After Mu Xuanming ascended the throne, Qingya took out the drawings of the canal and built water conservancy in the north, solving the problem of food and clothing for the people. At that time, in the north of Lanling, it was not Guanyin Bodhisattva who knelt down to worship the people, but Mu Qingya, the first princess of Lanling!
"Lord Wang, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Mo Junqing's distraction, Duanmu Mingli asked with some concern.
"It's okay, I'll ask Duanmu Lingyu another day to take a look at Yuhan's water canal, if it can be used in Canglan, it will naturally be excellent." Mo Junqing looked at Duanmu Mingli with a shallow smile on her face, her heart moved slightly, and she held her hand and gradually strengthened, "Mingli, I have wronged you these days." ”
Duanmu Mingli was naturally clear about the participation of the Yanguan, but because of his identity, he had no way to help her solve it, and even as long as he opened his mouth, he would definitely become the target of the Yanguan's attack. Such an escape was extremely torturous for him.
Duanmu Mingli smiled and shook her head slightly: "Where did the prince say, husband and wife are one, the prince can understand me and not blame me, and the concubine is grateful." ”
Mo Junqing smiled, he didn't say anything, but his heart was very warm.
On the city wall at this time, Prince Duanmu Lingrui had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw the dragon slowly stopping at the gate of Chengqian Palace, he stepped forward and saluted excitedly: "The minister has seen the emperor." ”
The civil and military officials behind him immediately paid homage in unison: "The ministers see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”
Duanmu Lingyu got up slowly, and the crown bead curtain on his head collided, and a slight crisp sound sounded. At this time, he was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, which was inlaid with gems that are difficult to find in the world, and he raised his hand and every move with a supreme atmosphere in the world: "Flat." ”
Duanmu Lingyu's voice was not high, but it was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears. The civil and military officials couldn't help but lift their hearts, and the mixture of fear and reverence in their eyes looked extremely contradictory, their monarch has returned, and the emperor of Yuhan has returned!
Mu Qingya looked at him, her whole heart trembling slightly. At this moment, the kneeling voices of the civil and military officials and the people of Shangjing were united, as if the entire sky was shaking together. In her eyes, there was only one figure left standing with her hands in her hands, and that was Duanmu Lingyu!
Duanmu Lingyu turned around and looked at Mu Qingya with warm eyes: "Qingya, we're home." ”
We're home......
One sentence made Mu Qingya almost burst into tears, Yu Han, she was finally back.
Among the officials, a kneeling figure caught her eye, although he was kneeling, his back was straight and not bent, and his straight eyes were full of excitement and eagerness.
"Father's ......"
That person was Mu Yizhi.
"Miss, let's go down first. The emperor just said that the officials went to Chengqian Palace to meet together, so the young lady will have to wait a while if she wants to see the master. ”
Mu Qingya nodded, endured the excitement in her heart, and let Le Qi help her walk down the dragon.
Many people saw Mu Qingya who came out of the dragon bowl, and their expressions were suddenly wonderful.
Duanmu Lingyu waited for Mu Qingya, and after she followed her footsteps, she walked into the Chengqian Palace.
In the palace, Wu Ping had already arranged the seats. As the chief steward of the palace, although he has just returned, what he wants to do can be arranged in an orderly manner immediately.
Duanmu Lingyu sat on the throne, and Mu Qingya sat slightly lower on her left hand.
After the hundred officials finished paying homage, they all looked at each other when they saw this scene, I don't know how Huangshi could let a woman sit on his side, or is it so close to the throne, is it true that the previous rumors are true, and the emperor really wants to seal Mu Qingya as the queen?
"I just came back, and I'm very happy to see that Yuhan's territory is in order, you Aiqing have worked hard."
"The ministers don't dare, it's the duty of the ministers to share their worries for the emperor." Hearing Duanmu Lingyu say this, everyone hurriedly replied in unison, but with pride in their hearts.
Duanmu Lingyu nodded, his indifferent eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, and then he spoke: "I know what you are thinking, and I must not understand why I want Mu Qingya to sit next to me. He paused for a moment, taking in everyone's expressions before continuing, "Wu Ping, read my will." ”
Wu Ping, dressed in the costume of a chief eunuch, took two steps forward, opened the holy decree held above his head with both hands, and read it out loud: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said, Mu Qingya, the daughter of the first-class prince Mu Yi, is young and graceful, long and virtuous. Inherit the Huaxuan of the relatives, ascend to the rank of the back court, noble but not ashamed, modest and benevolent, have the virtue of chastity and quiet, call the choice of the mother's ceremony, it is advisable to inherit the heaven and earth temple, hereby register it as the queen, the Prince of De, Prince Yi and other holding the festival to serve the treasure, the ceremony of the ceremony, in December 20 into the main palace, the ceremony after the sacrifice of the heavens, Qin this. ”
Everyone was stunned, how could they not have thought that the first thing the emperor would do after returning to the palace was to canonize Mu Qingya as the queen, wasn't she known as the demon girl of the country, why did the emperor marry her in three months?
"The ministers obey." The two brothers, Duanmu Lingrui and Duanmu Lingning, immediately responded. One of them is the emperor's elder brother and the other is the emperor's younger brother, and it is extremely appropriate to preside over the matter of welcoming the queen at this time.
"Okay, in that case, you Aiqing should step aside. I'm tired of traveling and driving, and I need to take a rest. Lord Mu stayed. ”
Hearing the emperor's last words, everyone's hearts were tumbling, and the ministers who were very hostile to Mu Yizhi before muttered in their hearts, looking at the emperor's attitude, he must marry Mu Qingya, and this holy decree has been issued. Mu Yizhi will be the ruler of the country in the future, but they should pay more attention.
Mo Junqing and Duanmu Mingli also knew that it was not easy to disturb at this time, and they retreated together with everyone, and after a while, only Duanmu Lingyu, Mu Qingya and Mu Yizhi were left in the main hall.
Mu Yizhi got up, tidied up his clothes and slowly raised his head: "Qingya...... "You girl, you finally know that you are back, when you were leaving, you didn't even see your father, do you know that in the past four years, every time my father thinks of the scene of your departure, my heart is like a knife...... You girl......
