Chapter 190: The Big Wedding and the Turning Point
When Wang Yun arrived at the palace, it was already over.
Only Cai Yong was waiting for him.
"Forgive sins, forgive sins."
In Shangshutai Wang Yun's duty room, he raised his hand and accused Cai Yong again and again.
Cai Yong didn't care, smelling Wang Yun's wine, he said suspiciously: "Prince, is this a banquet?" β
Wang Yun drank strong tea to refresh himself, shook his head, and said, "Are the rituals ready?" β
Cai Yong took a piece of paper and handed it to Wang Yun.
Wang Yun took it, read it carefully, and saw that he was in charge of so much, so he pretended to think about it: "What does the prime minister do?" β
Cai Yong said: "The prime minister is mainly responsible for entertaining guests. β
'In the end, the fourth and third dukes. β
Wang Yun muttered to himself in his heart, looked up at Cai Yong, suddenly moved slightly, and said, "Bo Jiao, what do you think of Cao Cao's affairs in Qingzhou?" β
Bo Jiao, Cai Yong's character.
Cai Yong saw Wang Yun asking, his expression was slightly gloomy, he thought about it, and Wang Yun was not an outsider, and said: "I think that Cao Cao has passed, and the court is too indulgent." β
Seeing Cai Yong say this, Wang Yun felt a complicated feeling of 'I am not alone' in his heart, looking at Cai Yong, there were countless things to say, but when it came to his mouth, it was: "To hold a big wedding for the King of Bohai, in addition to His Majesty's love for his younger brother, it must be grand in order to combat the rebellious morale." β
"That's what the prince said." Cai Yong wanted to speak and stopped. He is also the one who is isolated in the middle of the service, and there is a sense of depression in his heart that his ambition is difficult to reward.
For a while, the two people who felt the same way were relatively speechless.
After a while, Wang Yun said: "Uncle, how about a banquet at my house tonight, how about coming together?" β
"The prince invited, how dare he refuse." Cai Yong said with a smile.
Wang Yun also smiled, quickly adjusted his mentality, and talked about Liu Xie's marriage.
β¦β¦
Because of Liu Xie's wedding, there was a festive atmosphere in the palace for a long time.
Empress Dowager Dong seemed to feel that Liu Wei had no malicious intentions, smiled a lot, and took the initiative to walk around with the Fu family to arrange many matters of the marriage.
Even if the Empress Dowager He was reluctant, as the mother-in-law, she still came out as she should be, and gave countless rewards to the Fu family and the Bohai Royal Mansion in public.
As the wedding date approached, the government and the opposition seemed to have forgotten the many fights and struggles, coming and going, greeting politely, and being very lively.
The first year of Yonghan, August 11.
The whole palace seemed to have a sleepless night, and everyone was working overtime.
Shou'an Temple.
Liu Wei, Empress Dowager He and a large group of people looked at Liu Xie with a smile on their faces.
Liu Xie was a little nervous, wearing the groom's wedding dress, and he was a little at a loss.
Empress Dowager Dong sorted out his clothes and kept instructing: "Later, everything will go according to the usual arrangement, you don't have to say anything." β
Liu Xie nodded, unable to say a word.
"Empress Dowager, the time has come." Xu Yan came in from outside and said happily.
Empress Dowager Dong was reluctant to let go, but she still instructed constantly: "Later, they will take you there, and you yourself should be cautious, don't do or say wrong." β
Liu Wei and Empress Dowager He didn't speak, and after a while, Liu Xie walked out of the Shou'an Palace, and under the leadership of Wang Yun, hundreds of people rushed out of the palace.
Liu Wei and others watched the crowd, talking and laughing, but they walked to the apse of the temple.
Waiting to sit down, Prime Minister Yang Biao and others came one after another, sitting down, and the conversation was full of festive words.
Yang Biao's fat face trembled, and he said with a smile: "Your Majesty's wedding of the King of Bohai is so lively, which shows the brotherhood and is really the envy of the subjects of the world." β
Bing Cao Shangshu Liu Dai, as a clan, was a little closer to Er Xun at this time, and he had always been silent, but at this time he reluctantly smiled and said: "King Bohai is the only royal brother of His Majesty, and he can't be lively if he wants to." β
Liu Wei held a teacup in his hand, looked around at everyone with a smile, and said: "Luoyang City has not been lively for a long time, today and tomorrow, the army is very lively." β
"Your Majesty said yes." Yang Biao hurriedly answered and said, "Presumably, outside the palace, it may be more lively." β
Liu Wei smiled and nodded, his eyes looked outside the palace, his eyes were deep.
Meanwhile.
Liu Xie rode a high-headed horse and went to Fufu with a mighty team of relatives.
Behind him, the procession to greet relatives was as high as 300 people, not only Wang Yun and Cai Yong, but also many officials of the same size as Liucao and Jiuqing, and more than ten carriages for various dowries.
The forbidden army is awe-inspiring, the gongs and drums open the way, and the guard of honor is grand.
Along the way, there were many onlookers, and there were constant discussions.
"This is the King of Bohai?"
"Handsome and chic, calm and natural, with the appearance of a virtuous king!"
"I haven't seen such a magnificent guard of honor in many years."
"This is His Majesty's only brother, can he be stingy? I heard that the Bohai State has been exempted from taxes for three years. β
"I heard that the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother has given countless rewards, and half of the treasury is empty."
"It's amazing, only when Sejong was in time, he was so arrogant, right?"
The people followed and talked about it.
In the crowd, some people followed quietly, observing Liu Xie's welcoming procession.
Until Fufu, some people quietly withdrew and came to a hidden corner, whispering.
"The forbidden army is estimated at three hundred in the open, and there may be several hundred in the secret, so it's not easy to start."
"There are forbidden troops in Fufu, and our people can't enter."
"The road is the only chance, once Dong Hou enters the palace, there will be no more chances."
"What now? The news spread all over the world, and the main army was greatly affected, and some people in Jingzhou rebelled one after another. Yuan Gong is now attacking Jiaozhi with all his might, and the army's heart cannot be shaken! β¦β¦β
"Dong Hou must be rescued as soon as possible!"
Before the words fell, everyone suddenly leaned against the wall, holding swords and soldiers.
A big man came in a hurry, was stunned when he saw this, and hurriedly said in a deep voice: "There is news from the forbidden army, saying that the Dog Emperor has a conspiracy, and once we make a move, he will take the opportunity to kill Dong Hou and blame the lord!" β
"What!"
The expressions of the people changed and they looked at each other.
They never expected that they planned to 'save' Liu Xie here, and the Dog Emperor was planning to kill Liu Xie!
"Dong Hou can't afford to lose!"
"What now?"
"Dong Hou must not die! The lord has repeatedly ordered that Dong Hou must be rescued! β
A group of people gathered in the corner, whispering, but it seemed that there was no leader, no one could decide.
When they were plotting, Liu Xie took people and entered the Fu Mansion.
A series of complicated rituals, until the evening, the bride was taken out of the house.
The process was very lively, no thrills and no dangers, Liu Xie rode a horse, led the greeting team, and returned to the palace in a mighty way.
In the crowd, there were dozens of big men who looked like ordinary people, hiding sharp weapons, and quietly looked at each other.
In the end, they still didn't make a move, and let Liu Xie return to the palace.
The etiquette of returning to the palace was even more complicated, Cai Yong, as the presiding officer of Taichang, was busy sweating profusely and soaking wet.
Empress Dowager Dong, as the officiant, sat on the main seat, saw Liu Xie, held back her excitement, and wanted to cry several times.
Liu Xie seemed to be numb, letting all kinds of etiquette officials fiddle with him, back and forth, his face was full of sweat, and there was a blank look in his eyes.
Liu Wei sat next to the Empress Dowager Dong, smiling, feeling refreshed in his heart.
This kind of sin cannot be suffered by me alone!
It wasn't until it was dark that Liu Xie and Fu Shou were sent into the cave room, and Liu Wei, as a family member, stayed to entertain the guests.
Almost all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were there, including the Marquis Fuwan and the eldest princess of Yang'an, Liu Hua, but the palace was full.
Liu Wei raised his wine glass and said loudly: "Today's Liu Xie's wedding, you don't need to be formal, you don't need to be formal, drink happily, don't get drunk and don't return!" β
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
A group of hundreds of courtiers, men, women and children, raised their glasses one after another.
Everyone in the hall drank it all, and even though all kinds of lively sounds were heard, everyone was very happy, nodding and talking to each other, and laughing endlessly.
Empress Dowager Dong's rare good face seemed to be very happy when she talked to Cai Wenji on the side.
Empress Dowager He pulled Tang Ji, also talking and laughing.
The courtiers raised their glasses and exchanged polite glances, and their eyes were on them.
Seeing Cai Wenji and Tang Ji's big bellies, their expressions were different.
After pushing the cup and changing the lamp for a while, Liu Wei turned to the Empress Dowager Dong and said with a smile: "Grandmother, I heard from the imperial brother that you want to go to live with the Bohai Palace?" β
Empress Dowager Dong's smile suddenly froze, and then she reluctantly smiled: "Xie'er is still young, I'm not very relieved." β
Liu Wei had the same expression on his face, and said, "Then I ordered someone to clean up, and when the time comes, I will personally send my grandmother over." β
Empress Dowager Dong looked at Liu Wei in a daze, as if she was guessing the truth and falsehood of Liu Wei's words.
Empress Dowager He couldn't bear Empress Dowager Dong living in the palace for a long time, and when she heard this, she hurriedly turned around and said with a smile: "Bian'er, you are so busy, I'll send it." Queen Mother, the concubine will personally send you when the time comes, what do you need, just tell the concubine, the concubine will arrange it for you. β
Seeing the vicious mother and son singing and harmonizing, Empress Dowager Dong was suspicious, and nodded with a stiff smile on her face.
Empress Dowager He was overjoyed, looked at Cai Wenji and Tang Ji again, and said, "You will go with me when the time comes, and the King of Bohai must also clean up well, and there must be nothing missing......
Not to mention Tang Ji, even Cai Wenji, who has not been in the palace for a long time, can feel the complexity of the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Empress Dowager He and the Empress Dowager Dong, and she just nodded when she heard the words, and she didn't dare to say a word.
And the courtiers below, seeing that this family was so harmonious, looked at each other and nodded constantly.
The harmony and stability of the royal family is the foundation of the country!
If the imperial family is 'reconciled', then the so-called 'edict of the first emperor' will be blown away and will no longer become the crux of the imperial court.
On the other hand, it is undoubtedly a major blow to the rebels such as Yuan Shu, who rebelled under the pretext of the 'edict of the first emperor'.
Liu Wei glanced underneath and continued to greet Empress Dowager Dong and others with a smile.
Empress Dowager Dong seemed to confirm that Liu Wei did not have 'malicious intent', so she relaxed and gave Empress Dowager He a rare smile.
This made Empress Dowager He disgusting, but she still forced herself to laugh.
Empress Dowager Dong, Empress Dowager He, Liu Wei, a family of three generations, three people, at least 800 hearts.
After a long while, Liu Wei walked down with a wine glass, sat cross-legged at Yang Biao's table, drank and talked with him.
Basically, there is no political matter, and it is all about the shortcomings of the parents.
Yang Biao's small eyes blinked, how dare he be careless, his fat face trembled, and he kept smiling.
Not long after, Liu Wei wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "I heard that the son of the Qing family is still preparing to go out?" Got an idea? Do you want to go to Cao Cao's army, any master book or something? β
Yang Biao's little eyes opened, and he suddenly returned to normal, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the child is stubborn, and he has gone out to study again." β
In the Han Dynasty, 'study tours' were as popular as 'rangers', but those who had a little talent learned traveled around the world, seeking advice here and arguing there, for fear that others would not know his reputation, so they almost engraved the word 'talented' on the door of their heads.
Liu Wei glanced at him and said, "That's it." β
Then, he stood up and walked to the side of Huangfu Song, saw that his wine glass was full, and said with a smile: "Huangfu Qing's family is not good at drinking?" β
Huangfu Song's expression was as usual, and he bowed down and said: "Your Majesty forgives me, the minister was injured many years ago, and drinking too much alcohol will cause old injuries, so he didn't dare to drink more." β
Liu Wei nodded and said, "Then don't drink it." The eldest son of the emperor is good, he is witty and sharp in the Great Sima Mansion, and he is quite capable. Go to Donglai County to serve as a Taishou and experience it? β
Huangfu Song's face moved unconsciously, stared at Liu Wei for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty is the minister for the dog." β
Liu Wei smiled and touched a glass with him, looked back, came to Lu Zhi's side, and said, "Lu Qing's family, your protΓ©gΓ© Liu Bei still hasn't been found?" β
Lu Zhi's face was condensed, and he bowed and said, "Yes." The minister suspected that he should be circulating between Guangling and Jiujiang, and he was unable to communicate under the difficulty. β
Liu Bei fought with Lu Bu, but he was defeated, and it has been more than a month since he completely lost his news.
Liu Wei nodded slightly, and said: "Sun Jian has already gone to Wu County, Hanzhong Taishou can't be vacant, who does the Qing family think is more suitable?" β
Lu Zhi's expression was slightly gloomy, and he said: "Your Majesty, the matter in Hanzhong is very important, and the Great Sima Mansion plans to transfer Huang Zhong to guard Hanzhong for the time being." β
Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, and then thought: "The meaning of the Qing family is to leave Hanzhong Taishou to Liu Bei?" β
Lu Zhi raised his hand, with a serious face, and said: "The minister is not cultivating a private person, nor is it selfish, and the minister has not found a more suitable candidate than Liu Bei for the time being." β
Liu Wei turned his mind around, nodded slightly, and said, "I can trust the vision of the Qing family, so wait a little longer." β
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lu Zhi said. He was still apprehensive in his heart, but he didn't expect His Majesty in front of him to agree like this.
Liu Wei didn't know what Lu Zhi thought, smiled and drank with him, looked back at the others, didn't drink again, got up and walked back up.
Everyone watched Liu Wei's circle, and the people nearby also vaguely heard some.
Wang Yun sat not far away and took in all the conversations, silently, drinking quietly.
Liu Wei sat back, and continued to greet the courtiers until late at night, when he was a little drunk, and this was the end.
β¦β¦
In the first year of Yonghan, in mid-August, Shangshutai.
Wang Yun looked at the book with the seal in his hand, his face turned blue with anger, and he picked it up and went straight to Yang Biao's room.
This official document is about filling vacancies in Yanzhou, and Wang Yun resolutely disagrees with more than half of the 'Yingchuan Party' in it.
"Why didn't you submit it without my signature?!" As soon as Wang Yun entered the door, he said unceremoniously.
Yang Biao slowly approved the official document, and did not raise his head when he heard the words, and said, "It's not me." β
Wang Yun snorted coldly and said, "There is your name on it!" β
Yang Biao ignored it and took the next one: "It's too late for you to enter the palace now!" β
"You!?"
Wang Yun's face was pale, and when he saw that Yang Biao's oil and salt did not enter, the anger in his chest was difficult to come out, so he shook his hand and strode away.
Yang Biao raised his eyelids and looked at them, snorting disdainfully.
Approaching noon, the Imperial Observatory.
After lying down, he almost crouched on the desk, flipping through a pile of notebooks.
He was promoted to the rank of Imperial Historian, but he was faced with the urgent reform requirements of the Imperial Historical Observatory, which required him to familiarize himself with it as soon as possible.
It wasn't until noon that Fu Wan raised his head with some difficulty, and said to himself in a trance: "Yushitai, is the power so great......
According to the requirements of 'restructuring', Yushitai not only has a certain degree of 'power of life and death' over local prefectures, counties and counties, but in Beijing, if Yushitai concentrates its efforts, it can even pose a 'threat' to everyone in Shangshutai!
"Zhongcheng,"
At this time, a small official hurriedly came in, handed over a notebook, and said, "This is urgently sent by Yanzhou." β
In addition to learning complicated affairs, there is also the need to deal with an endless stream of impeachment playbooks.
He sat upright, took it without being angry, opened it and looked at it, and saw that it was the Yanzhou clan impeaching Shanyang Taishou Wang Lang, looking at the contents inside, he shook his head and said, "Put it down for the time being." β
The little official looked at him, hesitated, and reminded: "Zhongcheng, according to the rules, you need to reply within three days." β
After Fu finished taking the teacup, he mumbled, and said, "After noon, you sent a message to the three courts and the state to supervise the imperial history to my room." β
The little official responded, and then said, "Do you want to inform the King of Bohai?" β
After being stunned for a moment, he remembered that his good son-in-law was opposite his duty room.
He looked up and paused for a moment before saying, "Please." β
"Yes." The little official said. He waited for a while, and when he saw that there was no other command, he slowly withdrew.
The little official came out of the duty room after the ambush, and saw Prime Minister Yang Biao coming out of Liu Xie's duty room, and hurriedly raised his hand to salute.
Yang Biao glanced at him, his smile suddenly lost, he held his big belly, and left slowly.
Two days later, in the evening, the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Yang Biao was just surprised by an eager knock on the door as soon as he fell asleep, and had to open the door with a big belly.
Yang Biao couldn't help but look startled when he saw a person standing next to the housekeeper, and quickly glanced at Sizhou, and then said with a calm face: "Something's wrong?" β
This man looked respectful, handed over a notebook, and said, "Yes." Prime Minister, this is half an hour ago, the official Cao received it, there are two in total, and one went to the Yushitai. β
Yang Biao hurriedly took it over, and looked at it through the moon pass, his fat face instantly tensed, and his little eyes were full of anger.
This is the recital of Yanzhou Mu Ding Yuan, the main content of which is the impeachment of Shanyang Taishou Wang Lang, 'accepting money, feasting on a good name, not doing things but being famous, greedy for pleasure and obsessed with wine' and so on.
A county and state pastor impeached the magistrate too much, this is not a trivial matter!
According to the past practice of the imperial court, most of them were to transfer Taishou back to Beijing to appease the state pastor.
"Wang Yun!"
Yang Biao was unprecedentedly angry, his fat face was like iron, and his eyes even flashed with resentment.
He didn't know that Wang Yun hooked up with Na Ding Yuan and secretly corresponded.
It's just that Yang Biao didn't expect that Wang Yun actually colluded with Ding Yuan to deal with him!
Wang Lang is the only person recommended by Yang Biao in front of Liu Biao, if Wang Lang falls, the direction of the government and the opposition will change in an instant!
This prime minister, Yang Biao will definitely not be able to do it for long!
"Prime Minister, what should I do?" The person at the door saw Yang Biao's rare anger, and said with some worry.
Yang Biao sneered and said, "He Wang Yun underestimated me too much." β
As he spoke, he handed over the notebook and said lightly: "You go back to Cao now, don't leak the bottom." Do what you have to do. β
The person at the door was still a little uneasy, and said, "Prime Minister, Wang Yun must have other means waiting!" β
Yang Biao raised his hands behind his back, held his big belly, his face was calm, and said, "He is not the only one." β
Tomorrow will resume two shifts~
Ask for a monthly pass~~
