Eastward Flow

Everyone knows that the queen's love for her ex-wife can be seen from the fact that the subjugated monarch can justify and try to give her the posthumous title "Zhao".Now you just say that Emperor Zhao went to Guixu, how does the Empress feel?

Not to mention, just say that Supervisor Tiansi is wrong in front of the new Chief Commander.Although Jian Tiansi was not valued by the empress in the Qing Dynasty, the hard-working Da Si Ming entered the Kingdom of God not long ago, and the current Da Si Ming is still young, so he can't offend people like this.

Xuan Jingchen looked at the young servant from among the officials, and carefully thought of Zuo Cheng Xu Mingyi's comment when he recommended him: "Familiar with etiquette, upright and upright, quite old-fashioned." Looking at it now, this etiquette is fearfully kept. old.

It seems that this group of young people who grew up under the dictatorship of the Assassin Emperor are a bit pedantic.In the eyes of the world, Emperor Zhao was the king who ruined the state of Chu. No matter what achievements she made during her lifetime, she would be dimmed by her title of Lord of Subjugation.

If there really are gods, according to the Taiyi Sect's dogma, a virtuous person like Emperor Zhao must ascend to the Kingdom of God instead of returning to the ruins.

Seeing the youth of His Highness, Xuan Jingchen retorted when Shao Siming's words had just finished speaking: "Shao Siming's words are wrong. Emperor Zhao is the king of the end of Chu. According to Taiyi's sacrificial ceremony, the king of the subjugated country is buried. How could the people of the ancestral foundation be able to go to the Kingdom of God if they were charged with serious crimes? And because of the innocent souls on the bank of Liangshui, the people of Yuanzhou were in panic for many days..."

"Your Majesty Jiang..." The Minister of Rituals didn't finish his sentence, but was interrupted by the empress sitting on the high seat. Xuan Jingchen looked at the stubborn and serious young man with a long beard who was obviously only 30 years old, and said in a gentle voice : "When Zuo Cheng recommended you that day, he told me that the adults are familiar with the ceremony and are sympathetic to the common people. Now it seems very appropriate."

The young man bowed his head and said respectfully: "Your Majesty's praise."

"No, I'm not praising you, I'm just feeling that Zuo Cheng has such a discerning eye that sometimes he sees things wrong." Xuan Jingchen smiled, her tone was still not slow, her voice was gentle, but it was audible I was overwhelmed with fear: "Dare to ask, my lord, since we talked about Taiyi's sacrificial ceremony, do you still remember that the king of Chu is the mortal body descended from the Eastern Emperor, and he must step into the Kingdom of God when he returns?"

"Emperor Kezhao..."

"If you say that Emperor Zhao is the one who buried the foundation of the ancestors, I ask you again, in the winter of the second year of Yuanhe, there was a heavy snowstorm in the two states, and less than a hundred people were killed or injured. Is it not the work of Emperor Zhao?"

"I'll ask you again, in the summer of the third year of Yuanhe, Emperor Zhao issued an imperial edict to sin against himself, and the rebel army entered the city without harming any of the people. Is it not the fault of Emperor Zhao?"

"The false king entered Yuanzhou and changed the name of the country to Yuan, calling himself emperor. I led the army to suppress Lanzhou, resist the barbarians, and drive the barbarians to the northern part of Hanzhou. Only then did I go back to Yuanzhou and take back my homeland."

"If it wasn't for me...why would the city of Yuanzhou need to be destroyed?"

"Emperor Zhao was wise and resolute. He ordered me to lead all the troops to resist the entry of foreign races, and preserved the great rivers and mountains of the Chu people. There was civil strife, but I was too late to go back, and the imperial capital was lost, and the late emperor was martyred. How many casualties? How many strains? Isn’t it negligible?”

"Recapturing Yuanzhou is a celebration for the whole world. Emperor Zhao handed over the Jade Seal of the Kingdom to me, and said in an edict that if I regain Yuanzhou, I will change the name of the country to "Qing". Emperor Zhao said that this should be the country of Daqing in the world, not Zhongli's Chu Kingdom."

The empress looked at the young man standing in front of the palace, she put all the majesty of being the monarch of a country on it, and said sharply: "Although the common people don't know the merits of Emperor Zhao, is it true that Mr. Jiang is such a well-mannered person? Are you not polite? It is disrespectful for you to call Emperor Zhao’s posthumous title, and it is a great offense to call the late emperor’s heroic death for the country an injustice. What’s more, you also call my king who protects the country a disturbing soul of the people, and his words are punishable.”

"Is it your courtesy to be so disloyal and disrespectful?"

"Then your gift is really enough to kill me."

The queen dropped the last sentence, and the young man, who was already sweating under her pressure, knelt down on the ground with a plop, and said tremblingly, "Your Majesty..."

The empress sighed, Zuo Cheng Xu Mingyi, who was at the head of all the officials, came out, knelt in front of the hall and said affectionately: "Your Majesty, it's all because of the old minister's old eyesight, recommending such a bastard who disrespects the late emperor, the veteran knows... "

The empress glanced at the energetic prime minister kneeling in front of the hall, and said, "What is Mr. Xu doing? Why don't you hurry up and invite me. What's wrong with others?"

Xuan Jingchen didn't want anyone to turn Zhong Lisuo's matter into a gun in someone else's hands, so he said, "Help Prime Minister Xu up, I don't mean to blame the prime minister. As for Master Jiang..."

"So, Mr. Jiang, do you know how much nonsense your polite words are just now? Such nonsense people. I dare not use them."

The monarch sitting on the high position looked at the courtiers who had collapsed on the ground, and said coldly: "Please invite Jiang Fangzheng, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, out of the palace, and order his whole family to wear mourning for Emperor Zhao for one year. Expelled from Yuanzhou, after three years Inside, you are not allowed to step into Yuanzhou half a step. Those who violate the order will enter Ningzhou to collect military minerals, and the imperial court will never hire them."

This is already the most important punishment for the minister's gaffe in front of the palace.This is also the first time the empress has spoken such harsh words to her courtiers in the hall.

The guards waiting outside the palace dragged the high-ranking nobleman from Yuanzhou to the gate of the palace. Immediately, the servants of the Privy Council drew up the emperor's will, stamped it in court, and quickly sent it to Jiang Fangzheng's home.

This series of things was done by the queen in front of the ministers.All the people in the hall held their breath, and when the empress put down the jade seal heavily, they didn't even dare to take a breath.

Watching the servant who delivered the imperial decree walk out of the palace, the queen lowered her eyes, glanced at the ministers in the palace one by one, and said word by word: "I, I hope you will remember, 'The sage of literature, Zhou Da, shows the virtue of labor and friendship.'" Emperor Zhao of Chu State."

It is mine, Prince Zhaoming.

After her words fell, everyone thought of the fierce tongue in front of the palace three years ago. Those ministers who wanted to give Emperor Zhao a posthumous title of "Ai" couldn't help but prostrate on the ground under the empress's increasingly strong dragon power. They said in unison: "I will remember Your Majesty's holy words."

The prime minister knelt down, the six ministers knelt down, and the ministers followed behind the chief and bowed their knees. In just a short moment, all the officials in the palace bowed to the monarch on the throne.

Xuan Jingchen looked at the courtiers who surrendered to her, and the agitation in his heart was never less.Three years ago, she was able to fight hard for Zhong Lisuo to get back the title she deserved, and three years later, she would be able to rectify that title.

Does everyone in the world think that her Emperor Zhao is just a useless king of subjugation?

No, not Zhong lisuo.Zhong Lisuo was a wise king at the end of Chu.People should remember her, just like remembering her Shakuhachi.

Xuan Jingchen looked at the hundreds of officials lying on the ground, and said calmly: "Zhuqing is flat."

All the officials stood up and stood in front of the hall with their heads bowed, waiting quietly for the king to give orders.Looking at the many young faces appearing in the hall, the empress said: "Just now, you have heard Jiang Fangzheng's words, and don't mess with his nonsense. I want to ask all the ministers about the appearance of the God of Emperor Zhao on the bank of Liangshui. know?"

His Highness and the ministers were whispering, and suddenly a person stood up, Xu Renqing, the official servant of the household department.An upright young man stood on the top of the hall, held up a jade slip and said in a loud voice: "I have heard a little bit about it. It is said that Emperor Zhao is now on the bank of Liangshui, playing "Like the Wind" day and night. Only children, old people, and people who love music can play hear."

"As for the sacrificial offerings, most of them are those who admire Emperor Zhaodi's music and go to mourn."

As soon as Xu Renqing finished his words, another lord said: "Your Majesty, this song was played on the river on the day when the body of the Great Commander returned to the Kingdom of God. From time to time, Cheng Wenyue of the Hongwen Museum said that this is the song of Emperor Zhao. I think it must be It is Emperor Zhao's divine spirit who knows that Da Si's soul is returning to the kingdom of God, so he came here to send him off with a special song."

Some ministers spoke one after another, and they all talked about the music on the bank of Liangshui that day.Xuan Jingchen thought of asking Su Yanqing to look for him that day, but he couldn't find anything about him, so he felt a little doubtful.

Could it be that there really are Donghuang and Guixu in this world.Could it be that the person who played on the bank of Liangshui that day was really Zhong Lisuo's god.

She thought of the face that appeared in the mist, and it was so clear that it seemed real, and suddenly she felt a palpitation.

if...

if...

Xuan Jingchen suppressed the thoughts floating in his mind, but at the moment he thought of something else.She looked at the ministers of His Highness and pondered: "If that's the case, I want to sacrifice to Emperor Zhao in Liangshui, what do you think?"

She wanted a big sacrifice, to do all the things that she couldn't do before for Zhong lisuo.She will personally write the best sacrificial oration, let the people of Kyushu know Zhong Lisuo's achievements, and let future generations mourn the early death of this wise monarch.

Xuan Jingchen, who had already prepared for this, advanced her plan, looked at the faces of the ministers looking at each other, and said directly to the chief minister under the case: "Since the ministers have no objection, then the chief minister, please calculate a good time On an auspicious day, order Tiansi and Taiyiguan to prepare for Emperor Zhao's great sacrifice."

"No." After Emperor Zhao's funeral, the Taiyi Sect was finally used by the emperor again.

All the ministers understand that this matter is imperative, and when there is no way to stop the queen, they bow their heads one by one.

"Princess Commander, Le Zhengying, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Xu Renqing, Minister of the Household Department, stay behind, and the rest of the ministers will disperse." The queen announced the order to disperse the court, and the ministers breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the palace.

Zuo Cheng Xu Mingyi, who didn't know people clearly, walked in front, and the audience comforted him, saying that Jiang Fangzheng was an official of the central government, and he was too upright and pedantic.He also boasted that the eldest son is deeply favored by the queen, and the tiger father has no dogs.

Suddenly I heard the Minister of Rites passing by stroking his long beard and saying: "Your Majesty's dragon prestige is getting stronger and stronger, and even old people dare not look directly at the sky. Alas, the monarch is strong, and it is a joy to celebrate the country. It would be great if I could find a good person for Your Majesty." .”

"I see that kid from the Lin family is pretty good. He is obedient, sensible, and considerate." Youcheng Wang Ansu walked side by side with his friend, continuing the conversation with a smile.

"People are good, and His Majesty must be happy."

Judging from the present situation, the Empress is afraid that she will never forget Emperor Zhao.

This emperor's heir has to wait.

The person who was still praising the eldest son Xu Renqing as a good match in front of Zuo Cheng looked a little unhappy. He glanced at Xu Mingyi cautiously, and he was quietly relieved when he saw that the gentle and elegant Zuo Cheng didn't respond.

But what he didn't know was that Xu Mingyi, who never wanted his eldest son to be in charge of the middle palace, heaved a sigh of relief when he heard You Cheng's words.

Le Zhengqin, who was walking among the ministers, buried his head in listening to the gossip of the ministers, but when he saw the Minister of Rites approaching, he said with a smile: "Master, does the Minister Lezheng have a favorite now?"

Well, this is for the queen who can't be a matchmaker, and came to find her daughter.

Le Zhengqin smiled, and replied unhurriedly: "How do I, an old fellow, know about the children? Why don't Yang Shangshu ask Aying directly."

If you want to talk about matchmaking, go directly to my daughter.

Yang Shangshu smiled and said: "I'm going to ask. If not, I have to say hello to Lord Hou first. There is a nephew in my family who is in his twenties and sixteen years old. He is younger than the servant Lezheng, but he is upright and honest. He's very lively and cute, I wonder if Master Hou can let the two of them have a meal together?"

The blind date is here.

Le Zhengqin said the same thing again: "I have to ask Aying about this."

In matters of marriage, it is better for the children to decide.

The adults outside the hall had their own thoughts, while the empress inside the hall, after hearing the words of the three people in the hall, had many thoughts circulating.
