Chapter 289: The Queen's Destiny
Today's Eastern Capital is upside down, but the Central Capital is still calm, until Xiao Yu sent a decree to Xiao Yuyi and Moshu to go to the Eastern Capital.
At dawn, thousands of cavalry escorted seven or eight carriages slowly out of the central capital, and in the center was a carriage of Zhu Lun, Red Gai, Red Wei, Red Banner, and Gaijiao Soap Yuan, which was really driven by the county lord.
There were only two people in the carriage, one was Xiao Yuyi, the owner of the car, and the other was the head of the female officials in the palace.
In fact, after Xiao Yu passed the order, Lin Yinping also specially wrote a private letter to Xiao Yuyi, in which Lin Yinping clearly explained Xiao Yu's plan and told Xiao Yuyi that if she was unwilling, she would stay in Zhongdu, and she would be in charge of everything in the Eastern Capital. However, Xiao Yuyi hesitated after thinking about it, and decided to go to the Eastern Capital, which led to today's trip.
Moshu also heard some rumors about this matter, and half persuaded him: "Anyway, there are still princes and princesses in the eastern capital, as well as hundreds of thousands of troops in our northwest, in fact, they are no different from the central capital, they are all the princes and princes who have the final say, we are not going to be guests, but to go back to our own homes to be the masters, and the county lord is relaxed." ”
Xiao Yuyi's little face could not hide the look of worry, and after hearing this, he slowed down a little, and said with a forced smile: "Aunt Moshu is right. ”
Mo Shu said softly: "Since there is the prince and the princess to support the county lord, then after the county lord arrives in the Eastern Capital, you must not pay attention to any courtesy, you must show the style of your aunt and grandmother, and suppress those things that look down on people, so that you can not be bullied." ”
Xiao Yuyi was slightly stunned.
Mo Shu said: "It is said that the slave bullies the master, this is not a false statement, especially the people in the palace, they have always stepped on the low and praised the high, as the county lord, of course, no one will dare to do anything on the bright side, but if the master is cowardly, these people will inevitably have other thoughts behind their backs, so the county lord is so cold that he will kill when he should be killed, and clean up and down, and this person's heart will be clean." ”
Xiao Yuyi snorted.
Mo Shu lowered his voice, "The county lord still has to learn more from the princess, no matter what it is." ”
The iron cavalry outside the carriage roared, all of them were the first-class Xiliang cavalry in the northwest, and even led by Shi Le himself, for no other reason, just because these seven or eight carriages were the families of high-ranking officials in the northwest, in addition to Xiao Yuyi and Moshu, there were also Tang Jinxiu, Wanyan Yingzhu, Lin Li, Mrs. Min Xing and other female dependents, if there is any mistake, I am afraid that no one can afford this responsibility.
After Xiao Yuyi's car was Tang Jinxiu's carriage, until this moment, Tang Jinxiu was still in a trance, all this changed too fast for her, not long ago, she was still a casual woman raised in the boudoir, but just a year later, the man who promised to marry her has gone to the pavilion to pay respects, and she is going to Beijing now to become the prime minister's wife?
In addition to Tang Jinxiu, the rest of the women also have their own thoughts, but in general, this time in Beijing is still a happy event, all the men have gone to the next level, and they no longer have to suffer in the bitter cold place of the northwest, but to move to the prosperous and prosperous Eastern Capital, although the difference between the Central Capital and the Eastern Capital is only one word, but the gap is tantamount to a world of difference.
——
Eastern Capital.
The emperor's wedding, which made the Ministry of Rites, which did not have many errands all year round, suddenly busy, Sun Ligong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was the first to bear the brunt, and he was busy all day long, after all, he was still in charge of the military attache of the secret guard not long ago, and this time he became a civil official, and he was a noble civil official among the civil officials, many things were not at all clear, looking at several other scholars, except for Lan Yu, none of them were involved with the literati, and most of those who were involved with the literati were dismissed from office not long ago, and their family property was confiscated.
If there is one place with the most literati among the yamen today, it can only be the cabinet.
There is a row of inconspicuous tile houses on the east side of Donghua Gate, compared with the magnificent palaces around, it is inevitable that there are some inconspicuous and even shabby, but when it comes to fame, it is comparable to the Jinluan Palace.
When people talk about the imperial court, they generally think of three places, the Jinluan Palace, the Imperial Study, and the Cabinet.
In fact, the official name of the Jinluan Palace is the Taihe Palace, and the imperial study is just a general name, and the actual location is the apse of Jingyang Palace, as for the cabinet, it is an institution, but not a place, and the place where the cabinet is located is called Wenyuan Pavilion.
This row of inconspicuous tiled houses is the Wenyuan Pavilion where the central cabinet of the imperial court is located. It was here that Zhang Jiangling controlled the dynasty and navigated the world.
Today coincides with Lan Yu on duty, after dealing with the backlog of official duties, Lan Yu took out a three-inch thick Tianji Pavilion old file and began to read it carefully, it was left by the pavilion master who was responsible for supervising the construction of the Imperial City Array, the content involved in the Imperial City Array was extremely huge, and the Tianji Pavilion had to use eight files to complete the record, after years of changes, there are only three copies still in Lan Yu's hands, although there is little hope, but Lan Yu still tries to peek out some clues from the few remaining files. Just as he was reading the obscurity, there was a sound of footsteps outside the pavilion.
There are only a handful of people who can come to the cabinet at this time.
Lan Yu put away the dossier and walked out of the inner hall, and then saw Sun Ligong standing in the outer hall.
Lan Yu smiled: "Sun Shangshu, what a rare guest, why did you come here." ”
Sun Ligong smiled bitterly and said: "Lan Xiang, I can't hide it, Sun is here to ask for help this time, presumably Lan Xiang has also heard that the king intends to marry the county lord to His Majesty, and His Majesty's wedding is the top priority with the country, and all aspects of the court have to work hard, and my Ministry of Rites is the top priority, I can't make a mistake, my grandson is originally a martial artist, where can I deal with it, so I have to ask Lan Xiang for advice." ”
Lan Yu groaned: "The king did mention it, according to the king's intentions, the cabinet side would have to ask a thing or two, but this matter involves the deep palace inside, and the celebrant had better inform it to see the opinion of the palm seal eunuch." ”
Sun Ligong was overjoyed, and then bowed his hand and said: "Such a great kindness, Sun Mou thanked Lan Xiang first." ”
There is an old saying that a family of women asks for a hundred families, as Xiao Yu continues to rise, Xiao Yuyi's "market" is getting better and better, which can be called hot, how many people have cut their heads and want to form a family with the regent, all of them are high-ranking families, even world lords like Xie Gongyi have passed through the words.
Although Lin Yinping wanted to keep Xiao Yuyi for a few more years, he also began to pay attention to the men of the right age in his spare time, and he almost picked his eyes, this family background is good, but that character is good, this appearance is first-class, and that one is full of wealth, it is really difficult to choose. However, Lin Yinping didn't expect that Xiao Yu slapped his head and directly gave Xiao Yuyi to Qin Xian, which was also one of the reasons why she was furious.
In the fourth year of Jianwen, on the first day of June, Xiao Yuyi and his entourage arrived at Wanshouyuan.
Under Lin Yinping's repeated insistence, Xiao Yu agreed to his wife's proposal, not to let the two marry blindly, but to let Xiao Yuyi see Qin Xian first.
This practice is not Lin Yinping's first creation, but has been around for a long time, as the joke says, if a woman falls in love with a man, it is a major marriage event, but it depends on her parents, if she doesn't match, it will become a daughter who wants to accompany her father and mother for two more years, which is hilarious.
Xiao Yu, the regent, was not done in vain, Jiangnan Shilin scolded him for planting henchmen all over the court, covering the sky with one hand, and having nothing to do, he directly took out the regent's shelf this time, and invited the emperor to Wanshouyuan in the name of summer vacation.
No matter how resentful Qin Xian was behind his back and how unwilling he was, since Xiao Yu had already spoken, His Majesty the Emperor, who had no real name, could only obediently leave the palace and go out of the city to Wanshou Garden, which was originally a royal summer garden.
Long live and long live, this is synonymous with long live!
Xiao Yu personally accompanied Qin Xian to Houhu Lake to visit the lake, speaking of which Qin Xian came to Wanshouyuan for the first time, when Emperor Zheng was in power, he lived in the palace for a long time, and rarely came here, and after Qin Xian ascended the throne, it was a situation where everything could not help himself, and naturally there was no chance.
On this side, Lin Yinping was in a side pavilion with Xiao Yuyi, looking at the young emperor.
Lin Yinping sighed faintly and said: "When the old Taoist priest of Qingchen said that you were the queen's destiny, I originally thought he was talking nonsense, but I didn't expect that now it is a prophecy, your cold-blooded father-in-law has made up his mind to let you be the queen, and I can't persuade him, as for Qin Xian, whether you can see it or not, you have to accept your fate." ”
Xiao Yuyi shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "Mother-in-law, it's okay, Yuyi doesn't complain." ”
