Chapter 33: The Peasant Girl's Imperial Road
Following.
The Taihe Palace, which is not open for state banquets in the palace, has been cleaned up, the hair salon tiles reflect the bright light in the sun, and under the vermilion palace walls, the flowing palace maids come and go.
In the main hall, Emperor Qianhua was dressed in a reddened dragon robe, high on the dragon chair. The huge relief golden dragon winds around the back of the chair, on the top of the emperor's head, the mouth holds the dragon ball, and the eyes are blazing at the civil and military officials on both sides of the seat.
King An stood at the foot of the stairs, the closest position to the emperor.
The flowing spoils of war were carried up to the main hall by the palace people, and King An introduced them one by one, the scimitars of the desert, the gems of the grassland, and the royal relatives who were tied from the Beidi royal court......
Then there is the reward for meritorious deeds.
If you talk about the first merit of this northern expedition, it should be Fu Wenzhang.
So Fu Wenzhang was the first to come out of the queue and knelt on one knee under His Royal Highness.
In the Taihe Palace, the heroes who will be rewarded, the civil and military officials who are qualified to go to the palace to enjoy together, their families, and the palace maids and eunuchs who are serving, there are nearly 1,000 people.
But he didn't make a sound, only Emperor Qianhua's calm voice fluttered above the main hall, "What reward do you want?" ”
"The minister doesn't dare to take credit." Fu Wenzhang said loudly: "The victory of Beizhuang this time is because my Dayong Dynasty is rich and strong, even without me, under the leadership of His Majesty, the war will definitely be victorious." Sooner or later, you'll win! ”
"The minister was lucky to have the right time and place and won the war for Dayong...... The minister did not dare to ask for credit, but he wanted to thank His Majesty for his leadership and dedication, and he especially wanted to present to His Majesty a flower made by his brother. ”
"Oh?" Emperor Qianhua raised his eyebrows, "Take it and take a look." ”
The eunuch beside Emperor Qianhua walked down the steps with a tray, put the scroll that Fu Wenzhang raised his hands above his head and put it on the tray, and then handed it to the great eunuch who was serving Emperor Qianhua closely.
The great eunuch took the scroll, carefully tested the poison, and unfolded it to Emperor Qianhua.
"The writing is full of flowers, and it is indeed a beautiful article."
Emperor Qianhua handed the scroll to the big eunuch on the side, and said lightly: "Read." ”
"Seventeen years of Qianhua, the saint is benevolent, the national strength is getting stronger, but the people's hearts are not ancient, and the virtue is not good......"
The battle is neat, the writing is beautiful, and there is something to say, if you put aside everything else, it is indeed a good article.
However, this is a current article, which sharply denigrates the phenomenon that everyone in Beijing likes subjective speculation and ignores the facts.
The Shen family, the Lu family, and the Zhang family have already had many parents who have been beaten: "......"
There is no end, Xuanwei Hou Mansion! Is it necessary for your Fu family to protect your shortcomings like this! Is that someone from your family!
Even the broken mouth who had quietly talked about Ling Chan behind her back quietly touched a cold sweat.
This adopted daughter of the country, anyone who looks at it will think that the identity of this adopted daughter is to make it more convenient for her to climb the dragon and attach the noble! Unexpectedly, the Fu family really protected her as a serious girl!
Fortunately, no one's name was mentioned in the article, and Fu Wenzhang presented the article and respectfully stepped back.
According to the meritorious deeds one by one, King An, as an overseer, is also the grandson of the dragon emperor, and he voluntarily ranks himself last.
For his son, who has made great contributions, Emperor Qianhua said gently: "King An, what reward do you want to ask for?" ”
The other heroes all stepped forward respectfully, and after receiving the emperor's will and gold, silver and jewelry, they retreated.
The only ones who can choose by themselves are Fu Wenzhang and King An.
King An raised his eyebrows and smiled.
He looked around, and found the most beautiful pair in countless curious eyes.
Ling Chan sat behind Mrs. Fu, revealing half of her beautiful face, looking at him with bright eyes.
He smiled at her.
When he smiled, his thick black and straight sword eyebrows raised slightly, and his black eyes were bright and dazzling, as if the candles hanging high in this hall only favored him, and he was particularly bright.
went to the battlefield to experience a while, but I didn't see any growth, and I still acted so recklessly and smiling.
There is a ruthlessness in doing things.
He said loudly: "The sons and daughters are happy with the ladies of the Fu family, and ask their father to give them marriage!" ”
The room was silent.
Emperor Qianhua's eyes flashed fiercely, and he crushed the glass ornaments in his hand.
Fu Wenzhang and Fu Wenci raised their heads in unison, their faces extremely ugly.
The crown prince gritted his teeth, looked straight at the queen with a pleading gaze. The queen lowered her eyes and was expressionless.
King An proposed marriage in the court, which was a major event worth congratulating. But looking at the cold faces of the couple sitting on the heavens, and thinking about Ling Chan's anecdotes, all the jokes and jokes and discussions were shocked, and they were swallowed into their stomachs.
The unrelated personnel lowered their heads and silently pretended to be quails.
Speechless for a long time.
The queen took a deep breath and said calmly: "King An, if you want to ask for marriage like someone else's girl, it's not enough to ask your father for marriage, you also have to ask for the opinion of other girls." ”
King An lowered his eyes, he looked at Ling Chan who was sitting on the seat, and his smile became brighter and more presumptuous, "Don't you want to?" ”
Ling Chan looked at him.
King An has been proud of the spring breeze recently, and the already wanton young man is even more wild, he knows that Emperor Qianhua is interested in her, but he doesn't care about it, and at the celebration banquet, he begged for marriage in front of hundreds of civil and military officials...... This is persecuting Emperor Qianhua.
Emperor Qianhua, this majestic and iron-blooded emperor, can tolerate such an offense?
Ling Chan hesitated to look at the emperor on the high seat, but saw indifference and majesty, as if the emperor sitting on the clouds was also looking at her.
The light in his eyes was unexpectedly gentle.
It seems that no matter what she says, he can tolerate and allow it.
Emperor Qianhua threw away the rabbit fragment in his hand and lazily waited for Ling Chan's answer.
It's a rare day when he was waiting for someone else's answer instead of asking everyone to act on his answer.
His Royal Highness Huanghuang, among the many figures, Ling Chan seemed to have made up her mind and was ready to speak.
Behind Emperor Qianhua, Concubine Shu's face was pale, she stared at the rabbit's head rolling off the emperor's cuffs, and her trembling hands smashed the dishes on the table.
The eyes of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all aimed at him.
Emperor Qianhua turned his head, frowned and held her pale and trembling hand, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Concubine Shu looked at the dark color in his eyes and knew that she had done the right thing again.
She suddenly calmed down, and her heart was filled with strength again: "Your Majesty, King An-" is not filial, and the marriage of children should still be decided by the parents......
When Concubine Shu saw himself standing alone on the platform in the center of the main hall, he hung his head, and the thick black shadow obscured his expression, and he no longer had the vigor he had just now.
This is her child.
She watched him grow from a pink mass to a young man who acted freely, warmly and straightforwardly, and had no scruples.
Concubine Shu covered her chest and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the concubine is a little unwell, and she seems to be out of breath......"
"Recruit the Imperial Doctor." Emperor Qianhua's eyes were cold, he stood up resolutely, and ordered: "I and Concubine Shu have left the scene first, and everyone is at their own convenience." ”
Only the queen sat on the top, her face calm.
She watched the prince lose her soul, kept staring at Ling Chan, couldn't bear it anymore, and forcibly took the prince out of the table.
A celebration banquet for the whole country ended hastily.
