Volume 2 Kyoto Storm Chapter 425 The Second Imperial Meeting
In the first month after Huang Zhang's arrival in Kyoto, frost came.
Kyoto is starting to cool down, and the people on the streets are getting a lot thicker.
Huang Zhang sat in the carriage, around the carriage, there were a group of soldiers with strict military integrity, at the front of the carriage, Chen Lin was riding on a horse, his face was frosty, and the frost complemented the frost.
The current Huang Zhang immediately has a magnificent scene of the eldest prince's travel.
The soldiers of the city defense battalion opened the way, and there were guards in front and behind, while he sat firmly in the carriage and experienced the addiction of an official.
Today is the day he went to court, and it is also Huang Zhang's second time in the court.
There is a grand ceremony, and compared with the first time I entered the court, my status has also risen a lot.
Of course, if it was before, Huang Zhang must have been very low-key, so low-key that others didn't know that he was the eldest prince.
But today is different, he just wants to travel in a high-profile manner, let everyone know, and let everyone in Beijing look at him with admiration.
When they arrived at the Imperial City, Chen Lin and the others stopped.
In the palace city, Chen Lin and the others could only wait outside the palace gate.
The same is true of the servants of the other ministers.
This time when he entered the court, there was no Cao Xie to explain to him, and he was not late.
As soon as Huang Zhang got out of the carriage, a minister leaned over and saluted him.
All the ministers heard about Sun Miao's matter, although Sun Miao deserved this matter, but he also reacted from the side, and the eldest prince in front of him couldn't afford to provoke him.
dared to confront His Majesty in front of the main hall, and now he is still like a nobody, but his status has risen.
There is a faint atmosphere of the future Son of Heaven, just ask, who can not stutter?
Of course, unless it is a group of the three princes, they may still look down on Huang Zhang, the eldest prince, from the bottom of their hearts.
Just when Huang Zhang was dealing with everyone, Prime Minister Wendao's carriage also arrived.
As soon as Wen Dao came, everyone turned their attention to him.
This old minister of the two dynasties, the most powerful person in the court now, everyone has to give three points when they see it!
When Huang Zhang saw Wen Dao, he first nodded slightly to him, and Wen Dao smiled back.
For Wen Dao, Huang Zhang is grateful, if it weren't for him, he wouldn't have the position of Shang Shuling.
In addition, Wen Feng is also good to himself, and he has a good impression of the Wen family!
After Wen Dao greeted Huang Zhang, he didn't stay long, and walked directly in the direction of the main hall.
Huang Zhang was also about to leave, but was stopped by an old voice behind him.
"This is His Royal Highness the Great Prince, right?"
Huang Zhang turned his head and saw a white-haired old man on crutches, but looking at a very capable old man appearing behind him.
"Dare to ask, who are you?"
Immediately, an official introduced Huang Zhang: "This is Qi Zhang, the imperial master of the dynasty, and he was the teacher of the second prince before." ”
Taishi, the land is above the prime minister, the Taiwei, and the imperial historian, I am afraid that if Wen Dao sees this, he will have to bow first.
As soon as he heard that it was the Grand Master, Huang Zhang was not rude and gave Qi Zhang a disciple salute.
It stands to reason that it is right, after all, the Taishi is the teacher who assists the emperor, and the respect of his status and identity can be seen.
It stands to reason that Xiang Qizhang's identity, a person of this age, can not go to the court, but I didn't expect to come today? It's a bit surprising.
Qi Zhang nodded when he saw Huang Zhang saluting him as a disciple.
Then, he didn't say anything more and began to walk in the direction of the main hall.
Watching him walk slowly in the direction of the main hall on crutches, it was somewhat emotional.
He is the emperor who taught the second child, and the second child is dead, so I don't know what kind of blow it will have on him.
The court meeting began, and it was still the same, and the emperor appeared in a shout.
As soon as the emperor sat down, he saw Qi Zhang standing at the front of the main hall.
This surprised the emperor a little.
"The Taishi is old and doesn't stay in the house, why is he going to court today?"
Qi Zhang heard the emperor ask himself as soon as he spoke, and immediately stood up.
"The old man went to court today, but he said goodbye to His Majesty."
"Resignation?"
Hearing Qi Zhang's words, the emperor was a little surprised.
"The old man has been feeling physically and mentally exhausted recently, the second prince has fallen, and the old man wants to guard the tomb for the second prince, but he is still alive, and I hope that His Majesty will be fulfilled."
Hearing Taishi Qi Zhang mention the matter of the second prince, the emperor was also a little depressed.
The second prince was originally the emperor's favorite heir, but he was too young, and he was originally going to canonize him as the crown prince when the second prince became an adult, but unfortunately, it was a little bit.
At the beginning, the prince Qi Zhang saw that the second prince was smart, so he volunteered to the emperor to become his teacher.
With the assistance of this old minister who has gone through three dynasties, the second prince's governing ability will inevitably improve rapidly.
In fact, under the guidance of the Taishi Qi Zhang, the second prince gradually accepted the affairs of the DPRK and China, and everything was done in an orderly manner.
Taishi himself was very satisfied with this student.
Now that the second prince has passed away, it is normal for him to be disheartened.
At Qi Zhang's age, he no longer has the extra energy to teach the next student.
Since Qi Zhang made this request, the emperor naturally did not understand and refused, and after rewarding Qi Zhang with a large amount of wealth, he allowed him to go to the imperial tomb to guard the tomb for the second prince.
Qi Zhang, who had received the emperor's permission, saluted the emperor for the last time, and then retreated.
He was too old to support a high-intensity court.
Huang Zhang saw Qi Zhang's lonely back, and was somewhat emotional, this may be the last emperor of the Qi family!
This old man in his last years is worthy of his salute.
As soon as the Taishi Qi Zhang left, the big Honglu of Honglu Temple immediately proposed a recital.
And the content of this recital is what Huang Zhang dislikes the most and doesn't want to hear the most.
"Your Majesty, the envoy of the Kui Kingdom has arrived in the capital yesterday, are you summoned?"
At this time, the envoys who came to Kui knew what they were here for.
It seems that it is his turn to deal with his marriage.
This is the last thing Huang Zhang wants to hear.
He was thinking of how to shirk it, but he didn't expect this princess of Kui to come!
Hearing the news of the envoys of the Kui Kingdom, the emperor was very happy.
"Let them in!"
"Xuankui envoys come to see you!"
"Xuankui envoys come to see you!"
"Xuankui envoys come to see you!"
One after another, the order was passed on, and after a while, the envoys of the Kui Kingdom walked to the main hall.
As soon as the envoys of Kui saw the emperor, they immediately expressed their intentions.
According to him, the princess of Kui will arrive in Kyoto soon, and the marriage between the eldest prince and the princess of Kui will also begin to be gradually put on the agenda.
These envoys of the Kui Kingdom came specifically for the marriage of the princess of the Kui Kingdom.
Hearing them speak, Huang Zhang's head was big for a while, and he was simply afraid of something.
"This matter is entrusted to the Honglu Temple Dahonglu Du Zhi and Zongzheng Temple Zongzheng Wenhui to be responsible, and the envoys of the Kui State will discuss with these two immediately."
After the emperor finished speaking, Du Zhi and Wen Hui immediately stood out of the queue.
The two of them are both Jiuqing, Honglu Temple is responsible for joint diplomacy, and Zongzheng Temple is responsible for the marriage of royal relatives, and they are in charge, which is very suitable.
"Where's the minister?" Huang Zhang suddenly stood up and said.
He suddenly found a very terrifying scene, it seemed that his marriage had nothing to do with him!
The emperor named him for a long time, but he didn't mention himself, as if it wasn't his marriage.
"You?"
Hearing Huang Zhang's words, the emperor was stunned for a moment.
"What do you want to say?"
“……”
Sure enough, if he didn't mention it, then he wouldn't think of himself at all.
"Erchen's marriage, is it possible that Erchen doesn't care at all?"
"Haha!"
Hearing Huang Zhang's words, the emperor laughed.
couldn't help but laugh, royal marriage, how could there ever be a time when the royal man made his own decisions?
What's more, it is a marriage between the two countries, this matter is related to the national system, and it has nothing to do with a big prince!
If you understand the meaning of this marriage, you can understand why the emperor laughed.
"If my father doesn't let his sons participate, I don't want this marriage!"
"Huh? You don't? It's up to you! ”
"If I can't even choose my partner, what's the point of staying in Kyoto? It's better to go back to Sunan and be a free person, at least be happy! ”
Hearing this, the emperor was still laughing at Huang Zhang's innocence just now, but in an instant, his face immediately changed.
Not only did the emperor's face change, but the ministers above the hall also had a shocked expression.
They also thought they had misheard.
This...... No way?
In the last court meeting, the eldest prince was already merciful to his majesty when he confronted him, but he just cut his official position and grounded.
I thought that this great prince had enlightened himself and knew what was wrong, but I didn't expect him to start going crazy again now.
How dare you threaten Your Majesty in front of foreign envoys? What is this system?
Seeing that the emperor's face was wrong, Wen Dao immediately stood up.
"Please Your Majesty to calm your anger, although the eldest prince's words are too Meng Lang, it can also be seen that the great emperor attaches great importance to the marriage between the two countries, and the minister thinks that since His Royal Highness the eldest prince is willing to participate, it is just right to exercise the ability of His Royal Highness the eldest prince!"
After Wen Dao said this, the emperor's face became a little better.
Now that foreign envoys are present, it is inconvenient for him to have a seizure, although in his eyes, the boss's behavior is no different from madness, but he still has to pay attention to the image of the country.
"Since Wen Xiang said so, you should indeed have more experience and experience, otherwise you will continue to talk nonsense, how can you achieve great things? Then you will act as a deputy envoy and communicate with the envoys of Kui State! ”
Seeing that the emperor finally agreed, Huang Zhang showed an imperceptible smile.
"Thank you, Father."
He still has to do the superficial kung fu.
"Humph! Retreat. ”
The second court meeting ended in the emperor's sullen displeasure.
However, after this incident, the ministers below began to seriously weigh the eldest prince, and they felt that it was not a good thing to tie up with the eldest prince!
Especially those old fritters who have been in the officialdom all the year round, they are keenly aware of the trouble that this great prince's unbridled mouth will bring to him in the future.
But these Huang Zhang don't care, he must get the qualification of this deputy envoy, only in this way can he understand the progress of his marriage, and then wait for the opportunity to sabotage.
If you don't care about anything, just do it and wait, and in the end, you can only wait for the packed bride!
