Chapter 8 Above the Mourning Hall
Under Liu Zhongping's persuasion, Liu Fang compromised.
When Qin Chuan returned to the palace, the eunuchs and palace maids were still busy arranging the funeral.
Gao Liuyue has been kneeling for more than two hours, and she is the only one kneeling, I am afraid that her knees have long been numb.
"Ryuki, it's hard work."
"You're back? Things ...... done"
In a word, Gao Liuyue swallowed back, she originally wanted to ask how things were going, but she had no hope for Qin Chuan.
"Prince, during the death of the first emperor, Zhou Dewei will still be in trouble, I am afraid that I will not be able to protect you anymore, after today's incident in the Zhengde Palace, he will definitely consider a more thorough plan."
Qin Chuan knelt down with her: "It's okay, Lone has a countermeasure, I believe Lone." ”
……
At dawn, Yao Cheng hurried from outside the hall.
"Your Highness, the big thing is not good, the guards at the gate of the palace have been replaced by the people of the military department!"
Sure enough, everything is within Qin Chuan's estimate, Qin Chuan doesn't know how many times he has watched the scene of the powerful ministers forcing the palace, but he doesn't have to worry about anything now.
Liu Fang's soldiers and horses came back to escort him, and the sixth rate of the prince was also waiting for him, and the military department was only a few thousand people in the capital, and he couldn't set off any big storms.
Qin Chuan: "Lone knows, since Zhou Dewei has such a Yaxing and destroys the ancestral law, Lone also plays with him." Yao Cheng, go to summon the six guards, and say that it is Lone's will. By the way, you go and get the Son of Heaven Sword, and you want to see what he Zhou Dewei wants to do today. ”
As time passed, the sky gradually brightened, and the ministers of civil and military affairs also came.
The crown princess, concubine and other four people also came.
Among these women, Gao Liuyue is now the lowest, ranking fifth, but she is wearing the filial piety clothes that only the crown princess should wear.
This sight surprised the other four.
"Your Highness! - How can she kneel on the throne of a concubine, she is nothing but a humble concubine! ”
"That's it, for such a big event, only the crown princess can kneel with His Royal Highness, and the concubine can only stand with the ministers."
"Your Highness, Gao Liuyue doesn't know etiquette, she should be arrested and put to death by Ling Chi!"
"Hmph, a cheap concubine, you dare to wear my clothes!"
The four of you say a word, and I say a word, which makes Gao Liuyue unbearable, and she doesn't have to kneel here.
Since others are unhappy, she also wants to make way for the real crown princess.
However, before she could get up, Qin Chuan grabbed her arm.
"Kneel down!"
The current crown princess was even more furious: "Your Highness, she has the lowest status among us, how can you promote her like this?" Are you confused? ”
Qin Chuan raised his eyebrows coldly and glared at the four women who were standing.
"Nonsense! What is this place? Let a few of you mess around, and all of you will be left alone, otherwise the family law will serve! ”
“……”
The crown princess pouted angrily: "Your Highness, Gao Liuyue is just a Fengyi now, what qualifications does she have to wear my filial piety clothes and kneel side by side with you." I'm the concubine, this is not in line with the ancestral system! ”
The voice fell, and Zhou Dewei's voice outside the hall also came in.
"That's right! The crown princess is reasonable, His Royal Highness is a person who wants to become a great treasure, how can he not follow the ancestral system, does he want the whole world to laugh at my Great Xia royal family? ”
While speaking, Zhou Dewei came to Qin Chuan and bowed his hand very politely: "Your Highness, please follow the ancestral system and don't let the ministers see jokes." ”
The surname Zhou seems to be docile, but it is a borrowed topic.
Qin Chuan has been snubbing Gao Liuyue for so many days, and now he will continue to snub him.
A man can't even protect his own woman, and he should be a bird emperor.
"Lord Zhou, do you want to ask about Lonely's family affairs?"
"Heh, Your Highness may have forgotten that yesterday, you were already the successor of the first emperor and the future son of heaven. After 7749 days, you are the emperor, the emperor has no personal affairs, all the emperor's family affairs, the ministers can ask and remind, don't your highness know? ”
Okay, you old bastard, you have the courage, and there will be a chance to clean you up in the future.
Another minister chimed in: "The Son of Heaven has no selfish affairs, and it has been the case since ancient times. His Highness is so stubborn, how to serve the public. Please also ask His Royal Highness to follow the ancestral system and let Gao Fengyi go out. According to my family law, Fengyi is the lowest-ranking side concubine, and if she wants to keep filial piety, she should also kneel outside the palace, and she is not qualified......"
"Shut up!"
If Zhou Dewei and the queen said this, Qin Chuan would endure it.
Who is talking now, but a three-grade official and a little third-grade official, who dares to teach the prince a lesson.
Qin Chuan's voice shook the entire hall, and his fierce eyes stared at the official Tian Shilang like a grim god.
"What kind of thing are you, above the mourning hall of the first emperor, Lone is still kneeling here, how can you speak, is this also my ancestral family law of Great Xia?"
Indeed, there is a difference between monarchs and ministers, even if the etiquette is lost, only the first-class officials and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites are qualified to say two sentences.
Tian Shilang relied on the fact that he was Zhou Dewei's nephew and son-in-law, and did not take the first emperor and Qin Chuan in his eyes.
"Someone!"
"Yes!!"
Yao Cheng barged in with two guards.
"Drag Tian Daorong down and reward him with fifty boards as a punishment!"
Fifty boards?!
That's going to kill you.
Tian Shilang shouted in horror: "Zhou Gong! Zhou Gong save me! Zhou Gong save me! ”
When he was in danger, he didn't want to ask for the prince, but for a minister, which made Qin Chuan more and more annoyed.
"Drag it off!"
Yao Cheng greeted, and the two of them grabbed Tian Shilang's arms and prepared to drag them out.
"Zhou Gong! Uncle! Uncle save me! ”
Zhou Dewei's voice was not small, and he yelled: "Wait! ”
"What? Lone wants to use family law to punish this bastard, should Lord Zhou also stop it? Lone is the prince, doesn't he even have the right to punish a third-grade official according to the law? ”
Zhou Dewei smiled calmly: "The minister didn't say that." It's just that what Fang Cai Tian Shilang said is reasonable, His Royal Highness can punish him for committing crimes, but the minister wants to ask His Highness to respect himself first and take Gao Fengyi out of the main hall. Your Highness wants to follow the family law, can you lead by example first? ”
"Well said!"
Empress Liu Ning is here.
Followed behind him turned out to be the second prince Qin Yue!
Isn't this guy already imprisoned in Dali Temple, why did he release it again?
Zhou Dewei's face showed a strange smile, fleeting, and he saluted Liu Ning very respectfully: "Minister Zhou Dewei, see the Queen Mother." ”
"Zhou Qing's family doesn't need to be polite, the palace is not late, right?"
"The mother came at the right time. Today, the prince is immoral, and the ministers are admonishing, but His Royal Highness insists on going his own way, so that the ministers and others are helpless. ”
Qin Chuan is really drunk, and the double reed sung by the two of them is quite in tune.
They deserve an Academy Award.
Liu Ning's eyes swept away: "Prince, are you messing around?" ”
