Chapter 10: Additional Titles
"Hmph, you're thanking you too early! what's the big deal, and it's not from the truth?"
Situ Sheng glanced at Fang Zheng and leaned back in his chair.
Seeing that Fang Zheng solemnly cleared his throat, he changed his face to a solemn and rigorous expression and said: "The minister plays the saint, the matter played by the minister is not only related to the majesty of the royal family, but also related to the reputation of our Yaori Dynasty.
"Fang Zheng, don't give me alarmist words!
If it weren't for the court, Situ Sheng really wanted to roll his eyes. This guy is the most unserious on weekdays, but today is good, and he is a saint with a straight face!
If this is said by Wei Shengzhu or Dongfang Zhuo, no one will doubt the rigor, but if it is said from the mouth of this party, it will directly change the taste, and I am afraid it will only make people laugh.
For a while, all eyes were on Fang Zheng, but Fang Zheng unexpectedly threw a meaningful smile at Situ Yue, who was standing in the first place.
Situ Yue was stunned for a moment, and was about to avoid his gaze, but saw that he had already turned his gaze to look at Situ Sheng on the dragon chair without a trace.
Then he stepped forward, held the wat board high and said loudly: "The minister plays the saint, the princess Dugu is virtuous and virtuous, and she is deeply loved, and she is a model of royal chastity and elegance, and because the heir of the royal family has passed away, he is a meritorious minister, and he should be rewarded, please posthumously seal the title to comfort the dead!"
As soon as he said this, there was an uproar in the hall.
Situ Yue, who was originally standing quietly in front of him, trembled unconsciously, and his palms subconsciously clenched.
Master Chen, the priestess, rubbed his ears, he couldn't believe his eyes, this guy is a rare serious, and he actually asks for a title for a female streamer?
This natural vision has not yet subsided, what kind of waves does he want to set off? No wonder he just said that the best is yet to come, and this guy is a confused master!
"I am an outspoken minister, but I am just a lobbyist of the Dugu family! Why, I heard that the Dugu Qing family was sick in bed because of the loss of their beloved daughter, and I allowed him not to come to the court, but I didn't allow him to instigate others to come out for the Dugu family! Fang Zheng, you have no deep friendship with the Dugu family, and this time you speak for him, but because of the natural vision, you have doubts about Chengwang?"
Situ Sheng's eyes on the dragon chair flickered frequently, and he paused for a while before suddenly asking in a deep voice. But the implication is that there are already signs of turning the other cheek.
The reason why the minister asked the emperor to posthumously crown Princess Dugu was because the minister, as the imperial historian of the Imperial Palace, should be impartial in all matters related to discipline and discipline; second, because he wanted to share the emperor's worries. There are natural visions in ancient and modern times, and if you want to investigate the root cause, I am afraid that no one can tell the merits. But if the emperor decrees to posthumously seal the Dugu clan, first, it can eliminate the temptation of the celestial phenomena on people's hearts, second, it can comfort the dead and appease the Dugu family; third, it can clear the suspicion that the king is questioned. This matter can be counted in one fell swoop, why not the emperor?"
Fang Zheng was not intimidated by Situ Sheng's sinking face, but listed them one by one, and methodically said the favorable side of adding a title to Princess Dugu. After he finished speaking, not only Dugu Sheng, but even the ministers below also had the voice of seconding.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lord Fang's words are reasonable! The matter of celestial phenomena must not be exaggerated and expanded, otherwise I am afraid that it will be suspected of demagogic people.
Yin Lucang of Jingzhao Mansion was the first to stand up. This kid usually doesn't pay much attention to it, but today's trick is strange. However, as long as the turmoil can be calmed down as soon as possible, he will raise his hands in agreement. And Fang Zheng's advice is right in his arms!
Lord Dugu has been honest all his life, and has made a lot of efforts for the country's society, and now he has lost his beloved daughter, and he also asks the Holy Lord to send a decree to posthumously seal it to comfort the hearts of loyal ministers!"
"Your Majesty, the ministers seconded the proposal!"
For a while, the ministers all kowtowed and seconded the proposal, raising their arms and shouting for the Dugu princess who may not have met before.
A hint of a smile appeared on Fang Zheng's drooping face, this result he had already expected. The next thing is up to the emperor's decision......
"Initiate the Holy Lord, become the king and meet you!"
At this time, King Cheng finally came belatedly.
Situ Sheng, who was hesitating, immediately turned his gaze and waved his sleeves and said, "Xuan!"
Not long after, as soon as he carried the stretcher, King Chengwang Situ Chi was carried to the Fengtian Palace.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing which one Cheng Wang was playing?
I saw that King Cheng's face was pale, and his originally handsome face had lost all color because of his weak sick body, leaving only a haggard that made people feel sympathy when they looked at it.
"Erchen...... Knock on my father!"
With the support of the guards, King Cheng's Situ Chi got up with difficulty, knelt down in front of the hall panting, and bowed to Situ Sheng.
"Chi'er, I haven't seen you for a few days, how did you become like this?"
Situ Sheng saw Situ Chi's appearance like this, and asked with concern.
"Father, son, ......"
As soon as Situ Chi opened his mouth, his eyes turned red, and he choked up before he said bitterly: "Father, please forgive your son's sin of being rude!
"Chi'er, people can't be resurrected after death, you have to mourn. Situ Sheng saw that Situ Chi was so sad because of Dugu Tianyue's death that he sighed heavily.
"Father, the son is guilty! Please ask the father to surrender!" Situ Chi suddenly kowtowed and bowed, crying bitterly with tears in his eyes: "The son is useless, he didn't keep the emperor's heir, and he didn't take good care of the moon! I am not only ashamed of my father, but also ashamed of the Dugu family! Father, please punish the son! The son is useless, the son is ashamed of being a father, and he is a husband in vain! Tilting the moon suffers for his son, and the son sees it in his eyes and hurts in his heart, and now that she is gone, the son is heartbroken, and he just wants to go with her! Father, please forgive the son for being unfilial! The son has no face to see his father's ......."
Situ Chi didn't know if he was emotional, but he cried bitterly on the top of the hall, and the ministers in the palace couldn't help but sigh secretly when they saw that the prince who was high in the past had now become so down-and-out.
Originally, he was born with a vision, and all the unfavorable rumors pointed directly at King Situ Chi, but now that he sees it, Situ Chi is so sad because of Dugu Tianyue's death, where can people still raise the slightest suspicion?
The husband and wife are deeply in love, and now although they are separated forever, they are still so inseparable, which is really sighing!
Situ Sheng's eyes gradually flashed with a hint of heat, but he quickly suppressed it, and this was not the time to be emotional.
"Chi'er, the deceased is gone, and it won't help you to be so sad. As a prince, you should restrain your mind and think more about the country's society, and you should not fall into decay for the sake of your children, do you know?"
"Yes...... Sons and daughters obey the teachings of their father!"
After listening to Situ Sheng's words, Situ Chi stopped crying and replied in a dumb voice.
"Chi'er, do you know why I announced you to the temple today?"
Situ Sheng saw that Situ Chi had eased his spirits, so he coughed lightly and asked.
"I don't know, please make it clear to my father!" Situ Chi looked at Situ Sheng blankly, and his expression did not seem to be fake.
"Yesterday, the funeral of Princess Dugu in your house caused a natural vision, and the people talked about it, saying that there was a strange injustice in your house to have such a strange scene, do you know about this?"
Situ Sheng's eyes were slightly grim and he looked at Situ Chi.
"Born with a vision? Does my father mean that a hundred flowers are withering in Kyoto? Erchen still thinks that it is because of the gratitude of the princess that such a martyrdom will appear. I didn't expect that the people were ignorant and would make such a conjecture?"
Situ Chi had an innocent look on his face, and he choked up and stated: "Don't hide it from my father, Tianyue loved flowers and flowers the most during his lifetime, and he cherished every grass and tree in the house. Yesterday the flowers fell all over the place, the drizzle was endless, and the sons also said that everything in this world has love, and the moon is gone, but it also makes them infinitely nostalgic and difficult to give up, and they are sent off with this scene! It's a pity that people die like lights out, if you can make the moon come back to life, even if you let the sons and daughters suffer a thousand knives, they are also willing!"
After speaking, King Cheng Situ Chi couldn't stop crying again.
"That's it, I can't bear to see you like this. Fang Qing proposed to posthumously title your Dugu princess, I was still a little hesitant, but now seeing you like this, I will play it!"
"Chasing the title?" Situ Chi was stunned, obviously not expecting this scene to happen.
But soon he reacted, and immediately kowtowed with a grateful face: "Thank you for your father's grace!"
Situ Sheng nodded, stroked a pinch of white beard on his chin and said, "Come on, help King Cheng to the stretcher, and send him back to the palace to rest!"
Seeing that Situ Chi could not suppress his grief, Situ Sheng no longer reluctantly left him in the main hall and ordered someone to send him back.
After King Cheng withdrew from the main hall, Situ Sheng said to the eunuch beside him: "Spread my will, and immediately plan to posthumously crown Princess Cheng Dugu Tianyue as the princess of filial piety and righteousness of the Bright Sun Dynasty!"
After thinking about it, he added: "Also, his father Dugu Yu was crowned as the Duke of Jingguo, and his younger brother Dugu was promoted to the left deputy inspector of the imperial history. All prisoners in Kyoto were commuted by one level, thinking that they would become a princess and accumulate virtues. ”
After speaking, he swept his eyes to His Highness and the ministers again.
"Do you have any objections?"
"My emperor is sage, and the ministers obey the holy words!"
Born with a vision, the noise is boiling, and the harvest is calm. Either way, this turmoil will eventually pass. It's just that for most people, it's just a joke after dinner, but for some, it's a catastrophe engraved in the bottom of their hearts.
After retiring from the dynasty, Fang Zheng walked out of the hall with a smile on his face, and his ears were still echoing the admiration and exclamation of his colleagues' thrilling advances, but suddenly a flower appeared in front of him, and a tall figure blocked his way.
"This is ......"
Fang Zheng raised his head slightly, but there was not much surprise on his face.
"Lord Fang, Wei Chenfeng, the guard commander of the Lower Qi Palace. My lord, please take a step to speak. ”
Wei Chenfeng turned slightly sideways, letting Fang Zheng see Situ Yue, the king of Qi, who was waiting in a corner of the imperial city.
"Oh, His Royal Highness King Qi?" Fang Zheng shook his sleeves and said with a smile: "It seems that my lunch has been settled! Hey, Kyoto's famous Yinweixuan heard that a new dish of Bazhen Fish Head is very delicious, I have a good fortune today! Then let's go!"
Fang Zheng smiled disappreciatively, and then calmly walked in the direction where King Qi was.
Wei Chenfeng behind him was very surprised for a while, originally he thought that this person would not agree so refreshingly!
However, it was still the prince who expected things like a god, and he said that this Lord Fang would not refuse his invitation, and that was indeed the case. I just don't know what this Lord Fang thinks in his heart?
Listening to his tone just now, it seems that he sees the prince as a wronged boss who has been sent to the door! However, sometimes this meal cannot be eaten indiscriminately!
