Chapter 8: The Great Changes in the Court (5)
The sun, moon and stars are alternately on duty. When the sky was slightly bright, a "trend" sounded outside Zhanghua's door.
The palace gate is wide open, and rows of guards and flags lead straight to the Chongde Hall along the stone steps.
Under the guidance of the Zhonggong Confidant, the officials in Beijing started another day's work. I don't know if the new emperor has just been established, and all the officials are worried about the future, or because the first emperor has not been in court for a long time, everyone is not used to getting up early every day. Anyway, today's officials are all listless and embarrassed.
But soon, when the Empress Dowager Dong appeared in the Chongde Palace, all the listlessness disappeared immediately. The decree issued is enough to stir up a thousand waves.
"General! Something went wrong!! ”
Empress Dong was powerful, the court was shocked, and as soon as he got out of the court, Zheng Tai hurriedly entered the General's Mansion and exclaimed.
It's a pity that He Jin, who was drinking and throwing pots at the moment, didn't think so in the face of Zheng Tai's nervousness.
Just as there is no dynasty today, the assistant nephew succeeded to the throne, and He Jin, who was complacent, felt that the affairs of the world had been decided, and there was nothing to worry about.
Therefore, he waved his hand easily to make Zheng Tai feel at ease, and said easily: "Why is the public business so flustered, take your time......
"General, you don't know that you haven't been to the court today, that Empress Dowager Dong suddenly came to the court to listen to the government, and issued a decree to crown the prince association as the king of Chen Liu, and reuse the ten permanent servants to assist the government!!"
"There's such a thing!!" Obviously, I originally thought that Zheng Tai was making a big fuss, but when he heard the reason, he immediately became angry, and the Empress Dowager Dong dared to come to the court to pro-government, but she didn't take herself seriously at all.
"This matter is true, and there is an uproar in the whole dynasty!" Zheng Tai affirmed.
"If this matter is not for the ten permanent servants, then the empress dowager is doing something wrong, wait for me to enter the palace to take a look!" Put away his anger and wave his hand to let the slaves leave, He Jin said.
"General! In addition to establishing the Emperor and Zixie as the king of Chen Liu, there is also a holy decree, which is even more serious than this! Seeing that He Jin was leaving, Zheng Tai, who had not finished speaking, hurriedly added.
"What else?" For Zheng Tai's procrastination, He Jin was obviously a little dissatisfied and frowned.
After establishing Queen Chenliu, Empress Dowager Dong issued a holy decree to entitle Jiang Boxiao, who had been away from the dynasty for a long time, as a guard captain, commander of the forbidden army, and added the title of Marquis of Yiyang. Three thousand! This matter couldn't be hidden, Zheng Tai hurriedly explained.
"What! Jiang Qi ...... "It's like Zheng Tai's cover-up, as soon as he heard the person mentioned, He Jin was immediately shocked. But soon put away the panic, He Jin smiled again: "Very good!" That's a good thing! The old man has been worried about the new emperor's first ascension and the instability of the world, and he is looking for an opportunity to let Jiang Qi go out of the mountain to lead the troops to break the thieves, but now it is easy to do! ”
"General! Aren't you worried that Jiang Qi will be bad for you?? Seeing that He Jin was still laughing, Zheng Tai was puzzled.
"Worried?? The public industry is too worried, what to worry about! Jiang Qi was recommended by the old man, and no one in the world knows who he is the one I entered! It's a good thing that it's still in the dynasty now! "Unlike Zheng Tai's worries, He Jin doesn't care.
"What the general said, doesn't the Empress Dowager Dong know that if it is not beneficial to her, she can issue a holy decree in front of everyone? The general may not know that the Empress Dowager Dong Yanxie has reached the age of choosing a concubine, and the chosen concubine is Jiang Qi's eldest daughter!! Faced with He Jin's self-righteous words, Zheng Tai said angrily.
"There is such a thing...... "It was only at this moment that He Jinfang woke up, Zheng Tai's worries.
"Who is Jiang Boxiao, the general should know better than Tai, if he is involved with the Empress Dowager Dong, plus the poison of the ten permanent servants, how can the consequences be imagined......" Seeing that He Jin finally reacted, Zheng Tai added.
"The old man immediately entered the palace to discuss with the Queen Mother...... "Knowing that the situation was serious, He Jin walked away quickly in a little panic,
But at this moment, He Jin, who is full of muddy brains, seems to be thinking too much, he doesn't have to worry at all, just look at Song Dian who has been cold outside Jiang Qi's grass house for a long time, all his worries are asking for trouble.
"This general, can you say it again, how can you say that it is also the queen mother's decree, how dare we be snubbed as ministers?" Under the scorching sun, the sweaty hook and shield that had been sunburned made Song Dian helpless to step forward again to face the people blocking the road.
"A certain family has already said that the lord has a word, the first emperor is a new martyr, and he has served filial piety for three years, and no one will be seen during this period!" has been with Jiang Qi for a long time, and Dian Wei, who is simple-minded, has long been loyal to him. Then naturally his likes and dislikes are the same, in the face of Jiang Qi's enemy, he will naturally not have a good face, listen to and ask, but squint at the fat man who can't see his shoulder, and said coldly.
As one of the most powerful permanent attendants in the palace, he was respected everywhere he went, but now he was despised by a stupid big man, Song Dian was very annoyed, and he wanted to let the guards hack him to death with a wave of his hand. But after looking up, this intention disappeared, facing the guy whose arms were thicker than his legs, he really didn't dare to mess around, let alone the purpose of coming today.
Pacing helplessly, Song Dian was also entangled, where to enter? Can't get through, go back? I can't pay the difference. In the end, his heart was horizontal, and he immediately asked for a holy decree, and read it to the grass house full of white flags, regardless of whether Jiang Qi could hear it or not.
After reading the holy decree, regardless of whether anyone received the decree, he immediately put the holy decree back into the brocade box, and left it at the door of the grass house with the same court clothes and ribbons, and left.
Such a decree is probably the first of the Han Dynasty, and it was issued by the new emperor. This also seems to show that the prestige of the court has been dissipated.
However, Song Dian's helpless move still had an effect, at least for a while, and let the world know the content of the will, whether Jiang Qi admits it or not, at least his official position and title have been officially granted. He is no longer an idler. And mentioning that his daughter is Princess Chenliu is even more reverie.
In the end, even if he didn't want to admit it, the official uniform, the seal ribbon, and the holy decree finally appeared in front of Jiang Qi. The method of cutting first and then playing is completely imitating He Jin when he forced him to take over the seal of the captain of the Yue Cavalry, which is general.
Just like when he accepted the appointment, Jiang Qi was also a little embarrassed when he looked at Yin Xin at the moment.
Even if he didn't want to give orders, after he knew that the emperor had died, he asked his family to hang up white flags and change into sacrificial clothes to serve the Son of Heaven. In his heart, he was still grateful to the emperor for his kindness back then.
In the grass house, Jiang Qi fell into deep thought, and only waited for a crisp sound to wake him up: "Husband? I heard that there was a holy decree today, and it also mentioned the matter of Luo'er? ”
Thinking was interrupted, Jiang Qi looked up and saw a shadow in a sacrificial robe, immediately put aside his troubles, and hurriedly got up to help him.
At present, compared to the affairs of the court, the woman with the big belly in front of him is the only one he should take care of.
"Xin'er be careful, the child is still well-behaved today."
"Hehe, the child is much more naughty than Rui'er, I don't know how to stop all day, look, it's moving again......" These years have been respectful of each other, Xun Xin is very glad to have made the original choice, and at this moment he was supported by his husband, sat down slowly with a happy face, and said with a smile.
"More than a month! The stinky boy tosses his mother every day, and after he is born, see how his father cleans you up, hahaha! Speaking of children, perhaps because of the lack of fatherly love since childhood, Jiang Qi cherished his current life, and then stroked his wife's big belly and said lovingly.
"The child is stretching his little arms and legs every day, just like practicing martial arts, and he will definitely be like a husband in the future, and he will be a general." With the softness of the eldest son's body, it has always been a knot in Xun Xin's heart, and now facing Jiang Qi's full smile, regardless of whether the unborn child is a man or a woman, he immediately said.
"Hahaha! Over the years, Mrs. has worked hard, not only to take care of the housework, but also to take care of the family. Jiang Qi could naturally hear the meaning in Xun Xin's mouth, but he didn't break it, and pulled his hand.
"It's all what Xin'er should do, and the husband is serious. Husband, I heard that there is a holy decree today, so that you can return to the court, restore the title, and add food? The affection is lingering, Xun Xin is very happy, but then he cuts to the chase.
"Hmmm! After sealing a guard lieutenant, the title is still the Marquis of Yiyang, and the city is three thousand. However, the husband did not accept the order. For the closest family members, Jiang Qi did not hide it, and then pointed to the seal on the case.
"Is it because of Luo'er?" Seeing that her husband's face was embarrassed, Xun Xin said with concern.
"It's the girl who is going to nag you, right? That is to say, you should be resting at the right time! For Xun Xin's question, Jiang Qi reacted immediately, and then smiled.
"It's not that the husband doesn't know, although Luo'er is small, she is clever, where should she go to her mother at this time." Xun Xin didn't deny it and said with a smile.
Hearing the jokes, Jiang Qi couldn't help but think in his mind, his daughter's coquettish appearance, and had to say that the girl was really clever, knowing that she would be reprimanded in front of her, so she took a roundabout strategy.
"Yes and no! Xin'er knew that Luo'er's mother died in childbirth, and her husband swore in front of her grave that she would make Luo'er happy in this life, and she would not use it as a bargaining chip. The two, the new monarch was first established, the court was chaotic, and when it was the battle between the heavenly families, the killings were set to break out, and Qi did not want to mix at this moment. The three, who are now retreating to the mountains and forests, are happy, and they want to stay more time as a husband. At least you have to stay with me. ”
Facing Jiang Qi's caresse, Xun Xin leaned on with happiness on his face, and said: "Xin'er knows that the husband is not an ordinary person, if there is chaos today, it is the time for the big husband to show his strength." After all these years of being able to get along day and night, Xin'er has been content. No matter what happens in the future, Xin'er supports her husband. ”
can be Xun You's sister, how can Xun Xin be a stupid person, not to mention the content of the conversation, even if she is wearing an official uniform and a ribbon in front of her, she can also see that her man will no longer be willing to be in the mountains and forests.
You must know that it is not the first time that the emperor has been summoned, but that time is as heavy as today. However, she has also prepared for a day, when the hidden dragon finally ascends, what ability does she have to enjoy the Qilin General alone, and she should be satisfied if she can be alone for so many years.
"Madame, don't worry, Qi has expected that one day, it will be fine." His mind was seen through, Jiang Qi did not deny it, and immediately hugged Xun Xin into his arms and promised.
Just like Xun Xin's words, if there is chaos today, whether it is for his family or Xihe's brothers waiting for his return, he can't be casual anymore.
Warm for a moment, and when it got up, even if it was still wearing a white sacrificial robe, its momentum had changed.
"Old Classics !!"
