Chapter 16 Early Court Ceremony

At five o'clock, the maid got up and boiled water. Princess Ying was sleeping lightly and had already woken up. She turned over to look at Prince Ying on the inside, gently lifted the thin quilt and got out of bed. Even though she moved slightly, Prince Ying still woke up.

"Let the servants prepare. As a princess, you still have to worry about these things?"

You Yun said softly: "I serve my husband, what does it have to do with the princess or not? You can sleep for a while longer!"

King Ying turned over and sat up, hugging You Yun from behind, "You have been the same every day for more than ten years, how can I have the nerve to let you work hard while I lie down and be lazy."

You Yun smiled and pushed King Ying away, "I'm not afraid of being seen by outsiders." King Ying giggled.

The maids brought hot water and toiletries, and You Yun motioned to put them down, "Go down and prepare breakfast." The maids agreed and left. You Yun soaked the face towel with hot water and handed it to King Ying to cleanse it.

Let King Ying sit on the embroidered pier, and take the wooden comb to comb your husband's hair.

"I am the same every day, but you can't be the same every day. You come to me every night and leave Xuanmei alone. This is not good!" You Yun said softly while combing King Ying's long hair gently.

enlighten.

Prince Ying closed his eyes and said, "You are the main concubine, and she is the side concubine. What's wrong with that?"

"That's what I say, but the number of times you go to Concubine Xuan is too few. But you have been here with me for the past six months?"

When Prince Ying met his concubine Zheng Xuan, she felt a hidden pain in her heart. She also had the temperament of a young lady and always wanted to be coaxed and supported. The bold and free-spirited Prince Ying was not willing to serve such a woman. He felt that the world was peaceful even if he rarely met her. However, he did not care about his first wife.

There was no need to talk about his feelings, so he smiled and said: "Huo'er has a group of wet nurses to take care of him. I also go to hug him every now and then. Two days ago, he even called him daddy in a babyish voice."

"You know that's not what I meant."

Prince Ying gently stroked the back of You Yun's hand and smiled helplessly, "I've seen other women's wives snatch men away, but I've never seen the head of our family push men away."

"Although Concubine Xuan is a bit petty, she has given birth to your eldest son. Secondly, she is the daughter of the prime minister. She does not look at the face of a monk or the face of a Buddha, so you should take some care of her."

When he heard the words "Don't look at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face", King Ying frowned slightly, with disgust on his face. He couldn't stand the style of Prime Minister Yi Mei Gu, and although his father-in-law Zheng Cong looked upright,

But in fact, everything was in turmoil, and he didn't dare to stand upright in front of Yi Meigu. Not long ago, he responded to him and dismissed his general Shi Zhoulong, so he didn't like Zheng Cong very much.

King Ying loved his wife very much and didn't want to make her embarrassed. His irritation flashed over, and he smiled and said: "Okay, okay, it's all up to you. Why don't you give Quan'er and Jie'er a younger brother now?" After saying this, he turned around and tickled You.

Cloud thighs.

"I don't have a formal appearance, I'm already thirty!" You Yun scolded with a smile, slapping King Ying's hands away, "One more thing, I've already organized the draft I told you a few days ago, and the fourth day of next month will be good."

"It's not urgent. I don't have enough time to take care of both of them. I have to be distracted again!"

"You are the prince, and there are still two missing from the three sides. You only have one son, Huo'er, and Tsuen'er and Jie'er are girls. If you don't take advantage of this age to have children, when do you want to wait? You will be the world's leader in the future.

People say that I, Youyun, dominates you, Gao Liwen?"

"It's just a pain for you!" King Ying sighed softly.

"What trouble do I have in having enough food and clothing? We have been husband and wife for more than ten years, and I still don't know how you feel?" You Yun took back his palm and made a bun for King Ying. "Yesterday, I saw Sister Yin coming to the house from afar, and I wanted to keep her.

Xu Xu, but I saw that you lost your temper again, so I didn't keep her. When we were first selecting beautiful girls, there was a girl with good qualifications, who was somewhat similar to Sister Yin. She was also an official of Si Tianjian. I thought it was good, especially

Save it for the fifth place in internal selection."

When King Ying didn't say anything, You Yun continued: "Sister Yin has the appearance of conquering the country and is rich in poetry and literary talent. It would be perfect for her to be a concubine, but... oh, what a pity!"

Prince Ying sighed again: "Let's not mention the old things anymore. In short, I can't help her. Now I can only take care of her. I hope she can find a good home in the end."

You Yun didn't say anything more. After combing her hair, she helped Prince Ying put on his court clothes. The maid brought breakfast and the two of them had a simple meal. Prince Ying got up and went to court. Before leaving, he said to her: "I have some things to do after the court meeting."

Yes, you can take Zheng Xuan and the children into the palace early in the afternoon, and go to the queen mother’s place to say hello first. I’ll go straight into the palace after finishing my work.”

You Yun nodded and sent King Ying out. When King Ying arrived at the entrance of Huya Hutong Mansion, a group of attendants were already waiting. Miao Cheng took Kixue Wuzui, and King Ying mounted his horse and headed eastward towards the palace.

At the dawn of dawn, the auspicious aura of purple gold circulates in the Chengji Hall, Baiguan Mountain shouts long live, the three cardinals are leading the way, Wendong and Wuxi are on both sides, the prince and King Ying are standing under the throne, Huanglong Emperor has just recovered from his illness, and his expression is slightly

Feeling tired, he sat facing south and listened to various court affairs.

Yuan Chengfan, the Minister of Rites, came out of the squad and said: "Your Majesty, Bi Yiguan has come to report that Yang Keng has returned from his mission to the Northern Region. He has entered the Pass with his envoy Tequ and is expected to arrive in the capital in nine days."

Duke Xuande's court came out to report: "Your Majesty, I heard that Envoy Yang brought back not only the envoys of Tequ, but also the strange beast 'Yingzhao' from the northern regions."

Huang Longdi asked: "What is the 'heroic move'?"

Wang Ting replied: "I have also heard that this beast-man with the head of a horse and the body of a horse can understand human language."

Emperor Huang Long's eyes lit up: "Is there such a strange beast in the world?"

Cha Ji, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, said: "I recently heard from the public that some people in the northwest have seen the appearance of 'Fuxi' with the body of a snake tail."

Emperor Huanglong sat up straight and asked the officials: "It is said that strange beasts must be auspicious when they appear in the world. Is this true?"

Yuan Chengfan said: "Now that Liuhe is in ruins and the people are prosperous, Your Majesty has worked hard to achieve a prosperous and prosperous age. His majesty and virtue are so great that he has won over all the barbarians. A sign of heroic moves should be auspicious blessings sent from heaven."

Emperor Huang Long looked cheerful and slightly brushed his beard.

At the end of the class, Si Tianjian Yu Shi Yun Dashan stood up: "Your Majesty, I have been looking up at the sky recently, and there is a lone star attacking "Wuji". This situation has never been recorded in historical records. However, whenever a lone star appears, the world

There will be monsters out there, and your Majesty must be on guard against them!" Emperor Huang Long's expression turned stern.

Yuan Chengfan said: "Yun Yushi must not be alarmist. 'Fuxi' is an ancient god, and 'Yingzhao' is a strange beast from a foreign land. Both of them are auspicious omens. I'm afraid they are very different from you, a 'lone star', right?"

"

Yun Dashan said: "I have few talents and little knowledge, and I don't know much about Lone Star. However, there are lessons to be learned from the history of Lone Star's conflict. Not to mention the distant ones, the more recent ones include the disaster of Seven Stars a hundred years ago, and the previous dynasty.

Encountering demons and troubled times..."

Yuan Chengfan stopped him and said: "Yun Yushi's statement is ridiculous! The previous dynasty's violent conquests brought people to despair and attracted heroes from all over the world to compete. We, Emperor Gaozu, moved up to the sky, conquered Nanguang with flat skins and pines, and unified the south of the Yangtze River in ten years. Such great achievements

Could it be that he was taking advantage of the demons’ troubled times? It wasn’t the fault of the previous deposed emperor that the world fell apart?”

Yun Dashan did not give in: "Yuan Shangshu is wrong. Troubled times are the manifestation of changes in people's minds, and the lone star's attack is a warning from heaven to the world. The previous dynasty deposed the emperor and lost his virtue, and the traitors near and far away were virtuous. The common people complained, and heaven only sent down

It was a sign of a lone star, but the deposed emperor not only did not take this sign as a sign of disobedience, but instead intensified his efforts to exploit the people, leading to chaos and strife in the world."

Yuan Chengfan said: "Then I would like to ask Yun Yushi, is this lone star's attack a sign that His Majesty has lost his virtue? Or is it a direct reference to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty who is the treacherous person?"

"Shut up!" Emperor Huang Long waved his hands in disgust, "You are all the pillars of the country. How unbecoming is it to start a quarrel over something?" The emperor turned to look at the prince, "What does the prince think about this?"

Gao Gengwu went out and replied: "Back to my father, I have already heard about the auspicious event. A few days ago, someone went to Lantai, Jiezhou, and found records of strange beasts offering auspiciousness in the past. In addition, King Gui had already seen this beast when he patrolled the northern border.

, Zeng Feige passed a letter to his ministers, which contained his own description of the heroic figures." Gao Gengwu and Gao Liwen have quite similar looks, but they are slightly fatter and lack the heroic spirit on their faces.

"Sure enough, he is still a child. You can bring his paintings to me some other day." Emperor Huang Long looked happy and turned to ask King Ying, "What do you think King Ying?"

King Ying replied: "Go back to my father, my son and I don't know about this."

Emperor Huang Long was surprised and said: "There are so many strange people around you, but you don't know about the auspicious things? You should give more instructions when you return home, and don't waste your salary without doing anything!"

"I don't dare to call the people around me strange. They are just literati. When I have free time, I just recite poems with them, drink wine and sing songs." After the poisoning, King Ying had hidden his sharp edge and kept in mind that he should not hide from the dragon.

Use the ring.

The prince glanced sideways at King Ying, showing a hint of gloating about his misfortune.

Emperor Huang Long turned around and asked Sanxiang: "What do the three beloved ladies mean?"

Prime Minister Yimei Gu was short and fat, with a greasy beard and hair. The corners of his mouth were always raised, and his eyes were squinted like a smile. He had been listening to the courtiers discussing politics and said nothing himself. When the emperor asked him, he laughed first and said,

Then he turned to the second prime minister Zheng Cong and the third prime minister Ni Bian'an. Yimei Gu has a nickname among the people as "Yi Meigu", which means that he caters to the holy will and does not hesitate to harm the people. However, this person is very powerful, so he should

During his ten years in power, he used all kinds of means to suppress anyone who threatened his position or had political disagreements. He remained prime minister for ten years, but nine people were squeezed out one after another.

There are countless people who persecute him. The people who can get along with Yi Meigu now are either people who are willing to cater to him, or people who are wise and protective. Ni Bian'an belongs to the former, and Zheng Cong is the latter. How can the two of them dare to be different from each other?

He hurriedly pushed the question back to Imei Gu.

Yi Meigu said a few words modestly and replied to the emperor: "I foolishly thought that the matter of offering auspicious gifts to strange animals was the end, and the matter of promoting the Northern Territory was the basis. Envoy Yang should arrive in Beijing on August 14th. If your majesty wishes to personally

If you see strange beasts, you might as well take Tuqu envoys to the Xingyue Altar in Yanzhou, Xiaoyaochi to offer sacrifices to heaven during the Mid-Autumn Festival. One is to offer sacrifices to heaven in response to the auspicious omen, and the other is to give Tuqu the position of assistant sacrifice so that he can feel the great favor of the heaven.

It can also lead the people to enjoy the night of reunion. In addition, we don’t need to delve into the folklore of Fuxi, but the Lone Star attack is a serious matter, and the Si Tianjian needs to pay more attention to it and report it as soon as he has a conclusion. "
