Chapter 294: King Huan
On the branches of the moon, Yang Mucai returned to the Protector's Mansion.
The plague in the capital came quickly and went slowly, because the supply of medicinal materials was not available.
There are still many people who die because of untimely treatment.
This year, the capital is destined to have a bad time.
However, the Queen Mother was extravagant and wasteful at this time, and lived a long life!
The people in the capital didn't say anything on their faces, but in their hearts they were full of complaints, calling the woman a misguided country.
Soon it was the day of the Queen Mother's birthday.
I don't know what kind of demon this Empress Dowager Sheng did, the streets of the entire capital were covered with red carpets, and even the people who hung white lanterns were ordered to take off the lanterns and remove the mourning cloth.
The family with a funeral almost got into a fight with the officers and soldiers, and finally looked at the big knives in the hands of the officers and soldiers, and could only swallow their anger.
In the morning, in the palaces of various dukes and courtiers, horse-drawn carriages drove out and rushed towards the palace.
Every street is jammed with traffic, and people are not in a good mood.
Fortunately, they all arrived at the palace at noon, and were given a short notice to hold a banquet in the evening, on the grounds that the auspicious time calculated by Qin Tian was not the end of the afternoon.
The courtiers and noblewomen who were starving and freezing and finally entered the palace, thinking that they could eat, almost fainted.
Fortunately, someone was carrying something in the carriage, and he already had some stomach pads on the way here, otherwise he would not have to wait for the afternoon to eat?
The whole palace was decorated with joy, and every gate was covered with sixteen colors of silk, and silk flowers were tied to the bare branches and branches, as if it had entered spring.
The Yang family not only brought their own young lady today, but Chen Yuhe also came.
Sheng Jiaojiao had no teeth in her mouth, so she didn't come to be embarrassed.
Chen was happy that the Sheng family did not come, and he could highlight the girl of his mother's family, so after Sheng Jiaojiao was beaten, although the Sheng family made trouble, Chen did not participate too much.
The banquet was very lively, although it was an afternoon banquet, but it was more lively than the dinner party.
The dancers sang and danced lightly, and the Empress Dowager Sheng was smiling, as if she was singing and dancing.
Yang Mu and Lin Xiao's seats were just opposite each other, and they looked at each other from time to time.
A dance should be the link where the prime minister and his ministers celebrate their birthdays, and the Ministry of Rites has already arranged it.
However, the Ministry of Rites and the Prime Minister's Mansion are both people of the Eastern Empress Dowager, and they are very dissatisfied with the grand birthday banquet of the Western Empress Dowager.
Prime Minister Tao stood up lazily, and said weakly: "I wish the Queen Mother a thousand years of good health!" ”
He was about to raise his head to drink, when he suddenly heard a loud shout: "The Queen Mother forgives her sins, the minister is late!" ”
Everyone was startled by this thunderous roar and turned their heads to look.
I saw a person striding in at the door of the store, wearing a purple and gold python robe, black and white hair and a chest-length beard.
"King Huan!"
"Why is he here?"
"yes, hasn't he been keeping a vigil?"
The courtiers and women who recognized the people in the main hall were all old, and they couldn't help but whisper.
When Empress Dowager Sheng saw King Huan, she quickly turned her head and glanced at Empress Dowager Tao, and saw the application for a good show in the other party's eyes, and couldn't help gritting her teeth and scolding in her heart.
This old immortal King Huan is doing well in the imperial tomb, why did he come back and destroy his birthday banquet!
Seeing that King Huan was about to salute, Empress Dowager Tao immediately stood up and said: "King Huan is exempt, come here, give a seat!" ”
Just kidding, King Huan is the younger uncle of Emperor Cargill and the grandfather of the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces.
King Huan waved his hand and said, "You don't have to sit down, sitting down is like sitting on pins and needles!" I don't have to serve that dish, and I eat it like a fish in my throat! This ritual music doesn't have to sound, it makes people listen to it like a mang! ”
The hall was silent for a moment.
King Huan is too daring to say it.
Empress Dowager Sheng's face immediately sank, and she looked coldly at King Huan, who was standing in the middle of the main hall, and she was about to get angry.
Empress Dowager Tao fanned the flames and said, "What did King Huan say? ”
King Huan glanced at the gorgeous hall, then looked up at the flowery Empress Dowager Sheng, and asked: "I don't know if the Empress Dowager knows, now among the ten families in the capital, five of them are doing funerals?" ”
Empress Dowager Sheng scolded in her heart, stood up and pointed at King Huan and said, "King Huan! The mourning family remembers that you are an elder and the great uncle of the young emperor, so I can't bear to let you score three points. Don't do the following! ”
King Huan snorted coldly, untied a python whip with twisted gold wire from his waist, and made a whip with a "snap", and said: "The ancestors gave me a dragon whip, and I don't have to endure it from the Queen Mother!" ”
Everyone present gasped.
The dragon whip turned out to be in the hands of King Huan!
The ancestors beat the dragon whip, beat the unconscious king, and beat the traitorous ministers.
When the queen mother of the two palaces heard the "dragon whip", they all changed color.
Yang Mu went to look at Lin Xiao, and the other party shook his head slightly, obviously he didn't know why the dragon whip was in King Huan's hands.
King Huan was full of anger and said loudly: "The Queen Mother quickly ordered to cancel this extravagant birthday banquet, and appease the people who were forced not to mourn, and this king's whip will be put away." Otherwise, this king will be in court today! ”
Lin Xiao frowned slightly, if King Huan really wanted to suppress the court, he should also go to persuade him in advance, how could he make trouble at the birthday banquet?
His eyes looked at the regent Li Key in the upper seat, and saw that Li Key's eyebrows trembled slightly, and although his expression was solemn, his eyes seemed to have a bit of a good show.
Could it be that he picked up King Huan?
Yang Mu looked at Chen Yuhe beside him.
Although Chen Yuhe's expression was surprised, his eyes were calm.
After Yang Mu returned home from the courtyard that day, she learned that Chen Yuhe had sent four maids out of the mansion, and she regretted that she didn't follow her, could it be that she and the regent planned this matter?
Yang Mu went to look at the regent again, and sure enough, he found that the regent pretended to glance at the Yang family inadvertently.
Yang Mu suddenly remembered that Chen Yuhe was the queen in his previous life, but he was afraid that he knew a lot of royal secrets.
Otherwise, the dragon whip was in the hands of King Huan, and even the Queen Mother was surprised, why wasn't the regent and Chen Yuhe so surprised?
Yang Mu and Lin Xiao's gazes met in mid-air, and they both saw a look of understanding in each other's eyes.
It's just that today's matter, the two of them are not ready to interfere, although the regent and Chen Yuhe are not a good idea to fight in their hearts, but what the Empress Dowager Sheng did is too angry.
King Huan saw that Empress Dowager Sheng's chest was rising and falling with anger, but he was not ready to withdraw the birthday banquet, so he forced him further, walked a few steps quickly, and threw a whip over, breaking the table in front of Empress Dowager Sheng in two.
"Queen Mother! If you don't give the order again, the whip of this king will be whipped on you, the woman." ”
Empress Dowager Sheng was scared and angry, trembling all over, turned to look at Empress Dowager Tao, and said, "If my sister continues to watch the play, I'm afraid that the next one to be embarrassed will be you!" ”
If King Huan succeeds today, then how will he deal with it if he forces the two to retreat to the harem and are not allowed to interfere in politics?
After the schadenfreude just now, Empress Dowager Tao has now reflected it, she waved her sleeves and said aloud: "Someone!" Crush this offender into the Zongren Mansion! ”
