Above the Xixuan early dynasty, all the courtiers dressed in sun and moon court clothes lined up on both sides of the court, and the emperor was lazily sitting on the golden chair carved with a giant eagle.

"Emperor, the envoy of Qilu has arrived at the gate of Anyang City, handed over a post, and wants to ask to see the emperor of Taiping. "At the foot of the nine steps, an official was in the middle of the court, saying something to the emperor above his head.

"This yesterday, Huang Qing's family said it, I didn't expect that the country of Qilu was really tough, and he would rather break the habit of two hundred years than let go of the city. The Emperor of Xixuan sneered and said, "I don't know if you have any way?"

The emperor said to the courtiers. The official who made the announcement took another step forward and said to the emperor: "The minister thinks that the ultimatum to the kingdom of Qilu should be withdrawn and its cities should not be requisitioned. “

There are two sides to everything, and as soon as this official's words came out, naturally some people came out to oppose it. I saw a slightly older middle-aged man in his forties, with a goatee, who stepped forward and said, "Emperor, by all means." Let's not talk about the sea in the country of Qilu, the benefits of this trade to Xixuan. Let's just say that Xixuan is one of the big countries, and the country of Qilu before was an ultimatum for negotiation, and the country of Qilu was unwilling, so we withdrew the ultimatum, which had a great impact on Xixuan's great powers. Besides, this is the matter of the Ministry of Engineering, Bo Li, you are a person of the Division, you don't understand, it is normal. “

The enemy nodded and said, "What Lord Yi Yu said is favorable. “

"But the emperor, this country of Qilu worships Taiping, what Ming said is to congratulate the new monarch of Taiping on his succession, if the port of trade is given to that Taiping, it will be a big blow to us Xixuan. Bo Li stepped forward and said again.

"Lord Bo Li is too worried, the country of Qilu was once a vassal state of the Kangxuan Dynasty between the two countries, since the division of the Kangxuan Dynasty, there has been no contact with the two countries, and the Xixuan Taiping has no intention of wooing, and the country of Qilu will weigh it itself. Besides, the royal city of the Kangxuan Dynasty was originally Xixuan, and the Taiping was just a rebel party split, and sooner or later it will be recovered. That Yi Yu said confidently.

The emperor watched the two people arguing about the top and bottom, but turned to the great elder of the Xu family, who was sitting still under the nine steps, and said, "Elder Xu, tell me, how to deal with this country of Qilu?"

And so on. “

"Wait?" the emperor raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, wait. The elder of the Xu family slowly opened his eyes and said, "Wait, wait until after the Spring Festival." “

As soon as these words came out, all the officials in the court exploded and talked about it. Since the split of the Kangxuan Dynasty, there has been a banquet at most in this spring, and there has been no sacrifice, but now why is the sacrifice suddenly restarted?

The emperor just smiled slightly, and there was no interface. The great elder of the Xu family suddenly said loudly: "Minister, I implore the emperor to restart the Spring Festival." “

"This, this. “

"What's wrong with Elder Xu? Isn't there no one in the Xu family anymore? Why did you suddenly sacrifice?"

"That is, this sacrifice is not from the Xu family? “

"Impossible, the Xu family hasn't been out for hundreds of years, how can it be. “

"The emperor won't agree, that altar has been abandoned for a long time. “

"That's it, alas. “

Just as the ministers below whispered, the emperor smiled, he knew that this was the Xu family elder who was forcing himself to make a decision in front of the ministers, not yesterday's private agreement. It seems that the elders of the Xu family really pay attention to the little girl who is imprisoned in the palace prison.

"Okay, Lonely, promise. Ten days later, restart the altar and restart the spring festival!"

In the court, the words of the emperor circled around the roof, echoing in the ears of the ministers. Almost all the people looked at the elder of the Xu family, and there were different speculations in their hearts.

Why did the elders of the Xu family restart the altar, could it be true as everyone said?

For a while, this topic seemed to be a little more heated than that of the Land of Qilu, and what happened to the matter would have to wait until ten days later.

It's just that this is sad for the book of the rite division!

This prison is dark, and this prison is silent. Listening to my own gentle breathing, it was as if I was the only one left in this world. Yan Xu closed his eyes for countless hours, and finally opened his eyes, and the moment he announced the reopening of the altar with the emperor in the court, Yan Xu opened his eyes, raised his hand, and looked at the hand that could not be seen clearly, she knew that in her heart, the person in her body, was gradually waking up.

Just like when I opened my eyes just now, what I opened was not Yan Xu, but Xu Fu.

She's back, but she, why is she?

Because is the time up?

In the empty prison, Yan Xu's ears suddenly floated a sigh, a man's sigh!

Taiping

is also an early dynasty, but the early dynasty of Taiping did not have the dispute of Xixuan, but was extremely harmonious, because Taiping was welcoming a guest at this time.

The civil and military officials on both sides stood neatly on both sides of the wide Taiping Palace. There was a group of envoys who walked through the middle of the Taiping Palace, and finally knelt in the hall, saluting, and shouting in unison: "The Taiping Emperor is blessed with ten thousand peace and golden blessings." "Just like two or three hundred years ago, I said to the emperor of the Kangxuan Dynasty.

Long Xiang raised his hand and said with a gentle smile as usual: "Excuse the ministers." It's been hard work all the way. “

The envoy led by him was about thirty years old, with a beard on his chin, and he smiled with a pious face, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, unfortunately and bitterly." The lord of the country of Qilu specially ordered his ministers to bring the precious coral of the country of Qilu as a congratulatory gift for the emperor's accession to the throne. “

After saying that, his subordinates lifted up an object about half a person high, and when he opened the covering cloth, he revealed a coral that shimmered with gold and silver light, and the coral was natural, and it was inlaid with natural shells, which glowed pink.

This one object opened the eyes of everyone in the court, there was such a big coral in this world.

Long Xiang still had the same smile, and Wang Xi beside him sent three or four little eunuchs to carefully pick up the coral. Only then did Long Xiang speak: "Please thank the lord of the country for the widow." The envoy has also worked hard all the way, and tomorrow he will be in the palace and set up a banquet to entertain him, please visit the envoy, and he must see it. “

"Thank you, Emperor. After the salute, the envoys and others, under the guidance of the eunuchs, walked out of the Taiping Palace. After sending off the envoys. Long Xiang continued: "Tomorrow's state banquet, there will be a labor ceremony. "When it comes to the etiquette of the state, it is usually controlled by the celebrants, which makes the minister's visit more cautious. Feng Sansheng stepped forward and saluted the emperor: "The minister obeys the order." After only waiting for about three or four seconds, Feng Sansheng opened his mouth again: "It's just." “

Long Xiang didn't make any changes and asked, "Master Feng has any difficulties, but it doesn't hurt to say it." “

Then the minister had the courage to speak. State dinners are usually attended by the queen, but the queen. Master Feng paused, and then said, "If there is one missing, it is really inappropriate in terms of etiquette, and it is also disrespectful to the envoys. “

Long Xiang raised his eyebrows quietly, and his afterglow swept over Wang Cen who was standing in front of the ministers, but Wang Cen had his eyes closed, with an expression that had nothing to do with him.

Long Xiang said: "Feng Fusi, that's right. The queen is mourning, and the position of the harem in the state banquet is gone, but it is not appropriate, I don't know, do you have any recommended candidates?" Long Xiang walked around, and did not forget to stay on Wang Cen's face. Long Xiang guessed this in his heart, who would this come from?

As soon as these words came out, whispers could be heard in the court, but no one stepped forward. Only Feng Fusi, Feng Fusi stepped forward and said: "There are only three concubines left in the harem, so it is natural to choose one who is dignified and generous, has a down-to-earth demeanor, and can recognize the great ruler." “

"Oh, who is Feng Fusi's candidate?" asked Long Xiang with a smile.

"Minister. Then Feng Fusi looked at the emperor and said.

When Feng Fusi spoke, Wang Cen on the side was still expressionless, and decided that all this had nothing to do with him.
