The civil and military officials, vassal kings, nobles, and relatives passed through the noon gate and the Fengtian gate, and came to the square in front of the Fengtian Hall one after another.

Unlike in the past, today I can't see half of the brocade guards on this road,

The porches, corridors, palaces, and pavilions are full of soldiers in full armor inside and out.

The ten kings of Qin, Lu, Tang, Huai, Zhao, Qing, Zhou, Shen, Su, and Jingjiang took the lead in coming to Fengtian Square with their own clansmen and children.

Zhu Qiquan, the king of Huai, is the cousin of Zhu Qiyu and Zhu Qizhen, and he is only eighteen years old, and the city is not as deep as other princes.

Zhu Qiquan saw that today's palace ban was so strict, so he pulled King Qin and said with a smile: "Uncle Wang, can you make such a big battle today?" Isn't it just that all the relatives get together and go back to try the case? ”

King Qin replied with a serious face: "How can it be so simple, don't forget, it was in this square ten days ago that five princes died on the spot.

Let's underestimate the emperor, we have already suffered a big loss, and we don't have a long memory, and we still want to eat it a second time?

Have you forgotten, on the day of the mutiny, to the end, it was clear that we, the vassal kings, and more than a thousand guards survived, but Tiance Wei rushed in, stabbed one by one, and wiped their necks.

Although I have seen many scenes of killing, it is the first time I have seen such a ruthless emperor as he is.

The rebels in the entire capital added up to almost 30,000, and the emperor transferred 60,000 or 70,000 pro-troops in, and killed them all, leaving not a single survivor.

Oh, no, there is one left, that is, Shi Heng who is kneeling outside the noon gate, seeing that this pose is going to be overshadowed in public.

Let's have a snack, Uncle Wang advises you, don't raise the bar with the emperor today, otherwise the emperor will not agree with him, and he will have to continue to kill. ”

When Zhu Qiquan heard this, he nodded with palpitations. I still vividly remember how my guards were cut throats by the demons of Tiance Guard, and they have had nightmares for several nights.

On the steps of the Fengtian Temple, two dragon chairs were placed.

At the bottom of the stairs is a large long table made of several tables, which is filled with fruit and refreshments.

Everyone went over and looked closely, and everyone's position was marked.

The northernmost side, which is also the closest side to the dragon chair, has three positions, the middle is the king of Dazong Zhengmin, the left is the king of Dongwu County, and the right is the king of Qin.

On the left is a long row, respectively, the imperial concubine Xuanyi, the eldest princess of Yongjia, the eldest princess of Hanshan, Xu Chengzong, the prince of Wei, the wife of the former Duke of Wei, Mu, the prince of Xinguo, Tang Jie, the marquis of Wuding, the marquis of Pingen, Huan, the prince of Tai'an, Wu Zhong, and the princess of Changde, Xue Huan.

In a long row on the right, there are two princesses of Qi, Zhao, Lu, Shu, Zhou, Tang, Shen, Su, Qing, Huai, Xiwu, and Jingjiang, a total of twelve princes and representatives of the top county royal families.

Everyone was not in a hurry to sit down, because judging from the two dragon chairs above, I am afraid that the emperor and Emperor Gongrang will be present today, which is unexpected.

Everyone thought that the emperor would not come today.

So everyone got together in twos and threes to exchange ideas.

In less than a meal, the four kings of Min, Shu, Eastern Wu, and Western Wu also arrived with their sons and nephews, accompanied by Concubine Wu, the eldest princess of Yongjia, and the eldest princess of Hanshan.

So far, the vassal kings have all arrived, a total of twenty-five princes, top county kings, seven died in mutiny, three were seriously injured and bedridden, and today fifteen came to attend the meeting of the princes.

There are three relatives: Juan, Wu Zhong, and Xue Huan.

Taizu designated the five nobles to be included in the imperial family: Li Xuan, the Duke of Cao Guo, was far away in Gansu and could not participate. Mu Cong, the prince of the small country of the Duke of Qianguo, was only one year old, and he was still on the way to pick up the Beijing teacher, so Zhu Qiyu designated Mu Cong's aunt and the wife of the late Duke of Wei Xu Xianzong to participate on his behalf.

plus Xu Chengzong, Duke of Wei, Tang Jie, Duke of Xinguo, and Guo Chang, Marquis of Wuding, there are a total of four people.

On the left and right sides of the long table of the relatives, there is a small table with three seats per table.

On the left are cabinet scholars Xu Youzhen, Huang Pu, and He Yi, who are responsible for drafting the edict.

On the right are the chief officials of the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple: Wang Wen, Wei Ji, and Xiao Weizhen.

The mutiny has ended, and Xu Youzhen and Huang Pu have been recalled to Jingshi.

On the south side of the long table, rows of seats were placed for the rest of the civil and military officials, county kings, nobles, and relatives who attended the meeting.

Today we have a series of important events to be determined, so the scene is very solemn.

In Beijing, all those who are qualified to participate are basically here.

With the arrival of hundreds of officials, nobles, and relatives one after another, Fengtian Square became extremely lively.

No one cares about etiquette, because the Ministry of Etiquette is dead, and Chen Xun is left with a light pole Shangshu.

After another half an hour, under the escort of thousands of heroic warriors, a chariot slowly drove into Fengtian Square.

After a fire and a mutiny, the palace walls around the three major halls were damaged, and the internal officials and supervisors took the opportunity to open a gate, and the chariot drove directly into the square.

Only then did everyone on the field stand in order, ready to worship the emperor.

But left and right, and the emperor did not come down.

It turned out that Zhu Qiyu brought Qianxue, Suxi, and Ning Xiang this time, and Lin Xiangyu stayed in the Qi Palace.

Zhu Qiyu was very cautious, for fear that his home would be stolen, and it would be interesting to be happy and sad at that time, so he specially left Lin Xiangyu, the favorite concubine who could command the state guard, to watch the house.

Along the way, Zhu Qiyu and the favorite concubines played the car shaking game happily, and it was not until the carriage stopped that the four of them realized that they had arrived.

Qianxue opened the car window through a very small gap, glanced out, and then urged: "Quickly untie the incense and get dressed quickly." It's all because our Qiguo Avenue is too stable, and there are no bumps along the way, and we arrived before we knew it.

The civil and military officials were all waiting outside to meet him, but fortunately Ning Xiang's mouth was blocked with a silk handkerchief, otherwise he would have almost made a joke. ”

Zhu Qiyu had no choice but to withdraw from Ning Xiang's jade body, and reluctantly reached out to untie Ning Xiang's hands tied to the roof ring.

Su Xi took out a jade box from the dark compartment and smiled at Zhu Qiyu: "Husband, wait a minute, don't you want to experience what it feels like to be a queen's mother, let's clip this treasure to her, so that it will be more like a mother in the world." ”

Zhu Qiyu took the box and opened it to take a look, good guy, the seven-star beads made of mutton fat jade.

Ning Xiang still had a silk handkerchief stuffed in her mouth, and she couldn't refute it, so she had to blush and shake her head again and again.

The four of them tossed in the carriage for another quarter of an hour before they were fully dressed, Zhu Qiyu got off the carriage with great energy, and then turned around to help Ning Xiang with a sad face to get out of the car.

When the four of them got off the station, everyone on the field, except for Concubine Wu, King Min, and the two eldest princesses, all the rest knelt down and bowed.

Zhu Qiyu smiled and waved his hand, and said loudly: "Today is just a gathering of royal relatives to chat, don't be restrained, all Aiqing will be flat."

Everyone is comfortable, and when the eldest brother arrives, let's officially start the meeting. ”

And all the people got up in thanks.

Zhu Qiyu came to Concubine Wu with her favorite concubines, and after saluting and greeting her, Concubine Wu looked at a few people, and asked softly curiously:

"The emperor's complexion is good, why is Ning Xiang's face so red as if he is about to drip blood, is he not feeling well?

I think it's weird to walk, usually your posture is the most elegant, why are you always trembling today, there is a feeling that you can't take a step.

In front of so many people, don't lose your royal dignity. ”

When Ning Xiang heard this, her pretty face turned red to her neck, and she turned her head and glared at Zhu Qiyu very sadly.

Zhu Qiyu hurriedly explained to Concubine Wu: "Mother, Ning Xiang has her menstrual period today, and she is not feeling well. But she had to stay and take care of the house, so I had to bring her with me. Mother, be more considerate. ”

Hearing that Ning Xiang was coming to menstruation, Concubine Wu really no longer entangled, but asked for warmth in the cold.

Fortunately, no one else dared to approach the emperor, so no one heard the conversation of several people.

Zhu Qiyu took three favorite concubines and met with King Min, the eldest princess of Yongjia, the eldest princess of Hanshan, the king of Dongwu County, the king of Xiwu County, the king of Shu, the king of Zhou, the king of Shen, the king of Su, as well as several nobles and relatives.

Zhu Qiyu has an excellent attitude towards these people, but he ignores other vassal kings. You've all rebelled, and I'll be a little cheap to be polite again.

Everyone chatted for a while, and the emperor Gong asked the emperor to arrive with Empress Qian, Empress Zhou, and Wan Huang Guifei.

For a moment, everyone didn't know how to salute.

Gong let the emperor rebel, causing everyone to kneel, and it was not okay not to kneel.

It wasn't until Zhu Qiyu took the initiative to come forward to bow and bow deeply that everyone knelt down and saluted.

After the ceremony, Zhu Qiyu very politely put Zhu Qizhen on the dragon chair: "Big brother, please take a seat." ”

The two brothers humbled each other, but Zhu Qiyu still insisted on letting Zhu Qizhen sit on the dragon chair on the east side, and he took Ning Xiang to sit on the dragon chair on the west side.

Everyone looked up the steps, but they couldn't help but be speechless, the emperor really knew how to play, and there were three people sitting on it. The etiquette is based on the left, although the emperor insisted on asking the emperor to sit on the throne.

But there were three people above, the emperor sat in the middle, on the left was Emperor Gongrang, and on the right was an imperial concubine. In this way, the emperor is still sitting in a more prominent position.

However, although everyone could see it clearly, they didn't bother to debunk the emperor's tricks.

As for the emperor on such an important occasion, he had to sit on the dragon chair with a favorite concubine in his arms, although it was not very appropriate, but everyone could also understand that this was similar to Qin II's finger deer as a horse.

The emperor's implicit meaning is simple: the widow did just that, and the rules were all made by the widow. I'm going to see who jumps out and challenges the authority of the widows.

Everyone is not stupid, there are two or three thousand guards around the entire square, and each of them is murderous, as long as the emperor has a look, they really dare to do it.
