Volume II: Chapter 108: The Day of the Great Ceremony
No one expected that Wei Ziyu, who has always admired and cared for Sedum, would say behind his back that Sedum was too cunning! But his evaluation made everyone nod, because the final impression of Sedum was cunning.
If Sedum knew that he was this kind of evaluation in the eyes of others, he would definitely feel very aggrieved, but he just didn't express his position, as for saying that people are cunning?
Among the people present, Lin Jue pursed his lips and glanced at the emperor, but he still didn't say anything.
In response to the rebellion against Li Honglie, the king of Yuping, the plan has been implemented for a long time, and outsiders do not know about it, probably the five people here know the details.
But all this from the beginning of the planning of props without mentioning the deployment and implementation, all the mental work was done by Wei Ziyu, and Wei Ziyu was also very tired for this.
Looking at Wei Ziyu's pale face, the emperor said with some distress: "Aiqing has worked hard, since everything has a countermeasure, Aiqing should also take a rest." ”
"There are still some details that need to be scrutinized, and some key personnel selection can not be too satisfied, which still needs more comments from you. Wei Ziyu said.
"There are a few lists, and I'll bring them to you later, which should be embarrassing and useful. Wang Xuanling said.
Wei Ziyu nodded, he hadn't slept for several days, at this time he stretched out his fingers and pinched his eyebrows, under his noble forehead, the eyebrows had been pinched red, and with his pale face, it gave people a bewitching beauty.
Even Wang Xuanling and Zhao Guogong were a little obsessed with this picture, and the emperor was even more fascinated.
So he shouted: "Come on!" summoned a few eunuchs, helped Wei Ziyu down to rest, and discussed the next matter with Zhao Guogong, Lin Jue, Wang Xuanling and others.
How many people in the Southern Tang Dynasty royal family will support Li Honglie, the king of Ping? There is no suspense about this, in this generation, the Li family of the royal family has withered, and several of the original princesses have no men, to say that although the king of Ping is a distant relative of the royal family, it is the strongest royal family.
Therefore, there are still many people in the Southern Tang Dynasty who support King Ping, if the Southern Tang Dynasty cut off the national honor because the current emperor did not hesitate to have no heirs, then the current emperor will inevitably bear the title of historical sinner.
The secret meeting in the imperial study lasted until late, and after the people had left, the emperor brought a bowl of bird's nest from the eunuch's hand and drank it, and then walked to the rest place at the back.
Wei Ziyu didn't wake up from a deep sleep, his body was covered with a thin quilt but slipped to the ground, and the eunuch saw it and immediately prepared to step forward, but was stopped by the emperor and waved him away.
And he himself gently picked up the quilt and gently covered Wei Ziyu's body, for fear that he would wake up Wei Ziyu if he made a big move.
Then he sat quietly on the edge of Wei Ziyu's bed, silently looking at the man in front of him!
The moonlight shined in coldly through the window lattice of the palace, and there were only a few lanterns lit in the side hall, this light was a little miserable, and the mottled white light on the ground was intertwined with the faint orange light, and the emperor suddenly silently left tears.
"Uh-huh......!"
With a soft click, Wei Ziyu slowly turned over, and the emperor hurriedly wiped away his tears and leaned over to take care of Wei Ziyu to see if he was awake.
Wei Ziyu sighed softly and said: "Your Majesty, if you say this, Weichen really has nothing to repay, I hope you can consider our suggestions well after this crisis." ”
The emperor said, "Does Wei Qing really not understand what I think?"
"Of course the minister knows His Majesty's thoughts, but the Datang Society is very important, and Weichen doesn't want to become a sinner of the Tang Dynasty through the ages, is Your Majesty like that kind of person?"
"Wei Qing...... You," the emperor wanted to say and stopped.
"Your Majesty, Wei Ziyu is a dignified Tang man, I will definitely not be sorry for the country and sorry for Your Majesty, I hope you can be considerate of ......!"
"You...... You can think about it again......" The Emperor seemed to have finally compromised, but his expression was very sad.
In this regard, Wei Ziyu could only sigh deeply.
This scene in the palace, some people can describe it, but no one can imagine who the person who described it is? Sedum stared at Lin Jue in front of him, and was very curious about the situation between the emperor and Wei Ziyu in his mouth, but he didn't ask questions.
"Wei Ziyu has a strong personality, I'm afraid it's ......" Lin Jue said, he looked at Sedum and said: "Your Highness is a wise person, I can't imagine that your plan can really count everyone." ”
"No one knows that I know so much about your Nantang situation, and I think you should have guessed a lot of things, so please don't say that I don't say anything. Sedum said.
"Qianniu Wei's right commander Shang Hu, Xiao Wei's right command Duan Minghui, and the main and deputy leaders of the left and right leading guards are all people from the king of Dingnan, it can be seen that for the layout of the Tang Dynasty, the prince has already started, and the twelve guards of the forbidden army have been infiltrated into a sieve, I'm afraid that the Beida camp is not much better, right?"
Lin Jue's sigh made Sedum very uncomfortable, he used the secret spy that his father had planted in the Southern Tang Dynasty for many years to install the key person who had been bought, and he really didn't greet Hong Zhao in advance.
He can't help but deal with King Ping's forces, but this matter involves himself, what should he do? Even several princes on the other side began to give him eye medicine to force him to express his position, and he could only do so.
"Lord Lin, do you know what you said, how many people's lives are involved? Since my father understands his origin, and the court of the Great Jin Shendu is pressing step by step, it is impossible for him not to do something, and to keep the imperial power of the Southern Tang Dynasty is equivalent to saving himself, you can understand this, right?"
"Then is the prince of Dingnan really not interested here?" asked Lin Jue.
Sedum sneered and said, "I know the old man of our family, he is only interested in Xiliang Sidi. ”
"Why?" Lin Jue was puzzled.
"Probably ......!" Sedum suddenly became a little distracted: "...... Probably that's where I met my mother?"
He shook his head and said, "Don't talk about this, what's going on with that?"
Lin Jue said: "I have seen Concubine Ling and Concubine Shu, and the body should be fine, but Concubine Ling's personality is too harsh, but Concubine Shu's character is virtuous and virtuous, and she is a qualified candidate for the Queen Mother in the future." ”
"Then tell Your Majesty and let him make his own decisions! Couldn't this sacrifice be made for the sake of the Tang Dynasty?"
Lin Jue sighed and said: "I personally don't think this matter is so shocking and unethical, but Your Majesty's choice always needs to be respected, and we monks naturally don't care about these things, but Your Majesty's character seems to be cowardly, but in fact, he likes to go to extremes, and I'm still a little worried." ”
"Could it be that he ......?" Sedum suddenly stopped talking, frowned and thought for a long time: "In this way, we need to keep an eye on Lord Wei Ziyu Wei! I hope that in my absence, Lord Lin can save their lives." ”
"I have no official or position, what kind of adult, my Lin family has served the Li dynasty for generations, thanks to His Majesty's affordability, I must be worthy of him, I will pay attention, but I don't know when His Highness will leave?"
"If nothing else, I'll leave on the day of the ceremony. Sedum said.
......
The capital city of Nan'an in the Southern Tang Dynasty decided to hold a ceremony to worship the sea god Niangniang on September 8, which was indeed an auspicious day for the zodiac, and the emperor and the ministers of the court left the imperial city early in the morning under the protection of the forbidden army!
Then the Yulin army opened the road, the left and right Jinwuwei fought the guard of honor, the left and right military guards and the left and right Xiao guards, the left and right leading guards and so on drove out in turn, and the commander of the soldiers and horses of each army personally commanded the team to go to the seaside dock area.
The royal golden dragon boat is very huge, at the moment is also full of lights, stay at the port dock early, the people of the south city come here early, a few days is a big day, everyone is also beaming, many women are wearing colorful flowers, and all are new clothes.
Men, women, and children all wore flower baskets with flowers, and children held branches full of flowers! Red ribbons were attached to the flower branches, and some of them had small bells hanging on them.
Tanah Lot Temple is located on an island five miles away from the open sea, standing on a high cliff can be seen at a glance, over the years the Southern Tang Dynasty court spent a lot of money to renovate the island, repairing a large dock to dock large sea ships.
The emperor's dragon ship sailed to the island first, followed by the large naval warships, and in the distance there were a large number of warships cruising and escorting, followed by the large ships of the civil and military ministers and the imperial magnates!
Overseas foreign countries and island owners plus the ships of the Great Jin Mission are also among them, and the specifications of the ships arranged for the Great Jin Mission are quite high, of course, it is also because of the high status of some of the individuals.
The envoy of the Great Jin Dynasty is His Royal Highness the Prince of Dingnan, who has the nickname of a half-step poet, and has been in Nan'ancheng, the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty, for almost a month, and it has indeed attracted the attention of many people.
Today, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World stands inconspicuously in the crowd, but many people can still see that strange young man when they look at the past, because that person has a strange set of eyes, which are black eyes, and when they see him, they think he is blind.
This appearance is enough to surprise the people who see him! The heart said What is wrong with this little prince? Why is it so strange, is there really something wrong with his eyes?
Behind the fleet, there are all kinds of magnates in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and anyone who can be ranked will follow, of course, ordinary people are not allowed to land on the island where the Tanah Lot Temple is located, but many people can be allowed to stand on the boat on the pier to watch the ceremony.
Ordinary people can go there as long as they can take a boat, but most people don't have a boat and can't afford to rent a boat, so they can only watch the ceremony at the port pier below Naman City, or on the cliff on the top of the mountain on the opposite bank!
At a glance, the entire port dock area was crowded with people, densely packed with people, and the cliff was crowded with ordinary people, and even the Yulin Army sent people to stand there to maintain order.
When a large fleet of ships arrived on the island, the emperor and a kind of harem concubines led the civil and military officials and the envoys of the Asaga to the island and went to the Tanah Lot, where the festival was about to begin.
