I have a role in the heavens
Chapter 2769: Cut with a knife, what are you looking at?
Emperor Jing of the Yuan Dynasty sat high on the dragon's throne, looking down at hundreds of officials with an expressionless face. They came in from the Meridian Gate in an orderly manner, with civil and military ranks separated. More than a hundred officials, nobles, and clan members entered the Jinluan Hall.
After the performance was completed, a member of the Ministry of Punishment stepped out and played loudly.
"The night before, thieves broke into Sangbo Lake and blew up the Shanhe Temple in Yongzhen. It was really a shame for me. As the leader of the watchmen, Wei Yuan failed to protect the imperial city well. I ask your majesty to behead this officer to appease the public anger. "
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
Immediately, many professional trolls jumped out and demanded that Emperor Yuan Jing chop off Wei Yuan's head. Criticism in the court is of the same nature as shopping for food at Caishikou. It usually involves beheadings and ransacking homes at every turn.
Regardless of whether the matter is serious or not, just behead the dog. If the emperor disagrees, he will bargain, from beheading to exile, from exile to dismissal.
Anyway, you can't talk about dismissal. You have to give the emperor a room to bargain. Otherwise, if the emperor looks at it and thinks that you guys don't give me a chance to bargain, then you are not guilty.
Contrary to the expectations of the officials, Emperor Yuan Jing did not follow the routine, directly dismissed the impeachment against Wei Yuan, and praised Wei Yuan's work, which made the officials confused and whispering among themselves.
"quiet!"
Emperor Yuan Jing's personal eunuch cracked his whip and warned the officials in a sharp voice. The matter came to an end, but the impeachment against Wei Yuan did not stop, but changed the target.
Another official from the Ministry of Punishment stepped out and made a small report.
"Xu Qi'an, the watchman, openly drew his sword at the entrance of the Punishment Department, broke into the Punishment Department without permission, and despised the imperial authority. I beg your Majesty to punish this thief severely and kill everyone in the house."
When Wei Yuan was being impeached, the old god was there and was indifferent, but now he narrowed his eyes, followed the line, and spoke.
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Punishment ordered the guards to obstruct the watchmen from handling the case with ulterior motives. I suspect that Sun Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment colluded with the thieves to blow up Sangbo Lake. Please Your Majesty to dismiss him from his post and put him in a prison for interrogation."
The censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate all agreed that as Wei Yuan's younger brother, if he doesn't complain now, then when will he wait?
"That's nonsense!"
"Your Majesty, Wei Yuan is slandering and his heart is worthy of death."
"Your Majesty, there is a big problem in the Ministry of Punishment. I second the proposal to remove all officials from the Ministry of Punishment and investigate."
The two sides immediately began a war of words, with officials from other parties occasionally interjecting to fan the flames. Above the court, various factions entered into a fierce struggle.
At that time, the chief minister, the six ministers, Wei Yuan and other big shots closed their eyes and rested. Xu Zisheng was leaning on the pillar next to him, eating melon online, watching everyone exchange comments with excitement.
Emperor Yuan Jing was not angry at all. When he saw that the officials were noisy, he signaled the eunuch to scold him and let the Jinluan Palace return to silence. He sat on the dragon chair, looked down at the civil and military officials, and said in a deep voice.
"Xu Qi'an, Tongluo, is already guilty of the crime, and it is inevitable that he will go to extremes in his actions. You should work together to handle the case instead of hindering each other. If it happens again, I will punish him severely."
Wei Yuan opened his eyes, with a look of surprise flashing across his face. He expected that Xu Qi'an was fine, but he didn't expect that Emperor Yuan Jing would actually speak for the little gong himself.
Emperor Yuan Jing's eyes were sharp and majestic, making everyone afraid to breathe as he continued.
"From today onwards, the city gate ban will be lifted. Officials from the middle court to the sixth rank and above are not allowed to leave the capital."
"Retreat!"
Xu Zisheng sighed and couldn't stand the excitement anymore. Ever since he revealed his strong Confucianism and Taoism, few things in the court had anything to do with him. He seemed to be completely isolated.
No matter Emperor Jing of Yuan Dynasty or all the civil and military officials, they all seemed to turn a blind eye to Xu Zisheng. He also enjoyed his leisure time. His only pleasure was to watch the civil and military officials bargaining with each other at the court meeting. If they were friends, they would help me slash my political opponents. The sword flashed, the sword shadowed, the sword slashed. It has been released, but rarely can be hacked. It is somewhat similar to a certain software of later generations, and it is basically a gimmick.
Xu Zisheng stretched out boredly and walked out of the Jinluan Palace. Just as he was about to leave the palace, he was blocked by a little palace maid.
"Master Xu, the eldest princess wants to invite you to the party!"
Xu Zisheng's expression moved slightly. He didn't expect that the eldest princess would invite him at this time. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, nodded and said.
"I understand, please lead the way!"
The eldest princess has long since grown up and has her own mansion in the imperial city. However, the eldest princess usually lives in the palace city and never comes back to live there.
The imperial city is a smaller version of the inner city, which contains ancestral temples, government offices, inner court service agencies, warehouses and city defense buildings, as well as gardens and gardens. Common people lived in the outer city, dignitaries lived in the inner city, and princes and ministers lived in the imperial city.
As for the palace city, also known as the imperial palace, it is the home of the emperor, where concubines, princes and princesses live. Adult princes and princesses must move out of the palace city and live in the imperial city.
It's just that Emperor Yuan Jing has devoted himself to cultivating Taoism over the years and doesn't care much about his concubines. The rules in this area have become lax. Nowadays, many adult princes and princesses still live in the palace.
Xu Zisheng was led by the little palace maid to the eldest princess' Moon Palace. After passing through the corridor and the garden, Xu Zisheng was taken to the elegant room where guests were received.
The eldest princess is dressed in palace attire. She is luxurious and graceful. She has a beautiful appearance and a cold expression. She is like a snow lotus. She can only be viewed from a distance and cannot be played with. She is full of sacred and inviolable majesty. The eldest princess is sitting on the table facing the door. Go up, holding a volume of book in hand, sipping tea, elegant and leisurely.
"Your Highness, Master Xu is here."
The palace maid said something, then turned and retreated, leaving Xu Zisheng alone to face the eldest princess.
"I've met the eldest princess!"
Xu Zisheng cupped his fists and saluted, and without waiting for the eldest princess to speak, he found a seat and sat down. He was not polite at all, his expression was indifferent and calm, as if he was not facing the eldest princess of the Dafeng Dynasty, but just an ordinary friend.
The eldest princess put down the book in her hand, with a faint smile on her face. She was like a blooming lotus, holy, beautiful, and unparalleled in elegance. She didn't mind Xu Zisheng's rudeness and said.
"Master Xu is very informal and has the demeanor of a celebrity!"
Xu Zisheng couldn't help but roll his eyes. He had strength, and even if he was rude, he would be called a celebrity. If Xu Qi'an did this, the result would be different. He would most likely be accused of offending the eldest princess.
"I have admired Mr. Xu for a long time. If Mr. Xu has no objection, can I directly call you Zisheng!"
The pleasant voice of the eldest princess came, showing an extremely kind attitude and approachable attitude, but it could not move Xu Zisheng. He was not a small person like Xu Qian. The eldest princess became excited when she expressed her closeness and offered her allegiance.
"Since the eldest princess has said so, I won't be polite and just call you Huaiqing!"
Xu Zisheng is not a polite person. Since the eldest princess said so, he had to go one step further and call the eldest princess directly by her name.
"Since you want to get closer and know my length, I will naturally not be polite and measure your depth!"
Xu Zisheng thought to himself, he noticed the eldest princess' expression was slightly stiff, but he didn't take it seriously. Only members of the royal family can call the princess by her name. Xu Zisheng's calling the eldest princess such a name was very disrespectful, and it would even affect the eldest princess's reputation.
The eldest princess took a deep breath, her expression returned to calm again, and she spoke calmly.
"Of course you can!"
Xu Zisheng was a little funny when he heard this. In order to win over him, the eldest princess really spared no effort. She didn't care about the damage to her reputation or being criticized. However, it also showed that the eldest princess was extraordinary. She knew that if she wanted to gain something, she must pay.
"I wonder what party you invited me to, Huaiqing?"
Xu Zisheng stood up and walked to the table, pouring himself a cup of tea. He had watched the excitement at the court meeting for a long time, and now his mouth was dry and he didn't need to be greeted by the eldest princess.
"It's just that the princes and princesses haven't gotten together for a long time, so I invite you to go out for an outing together!"
"It's a gathering of princes and princesses. It wouldn't be appropriate for me to attend as an outsider!"
Xu Zisheng frowned slightly when he heard this. He didn't want to be too deeply involved with the royal family, which would easily cause trouble, so he had almost no contact with other princes and princesses on weekdays.
"Zi Sheng is not an outsider, they won't mind!"
The eldest princess shook her head and said, as if she regarded Xu Zisheng as one of her own. If it were another person, she would be so moved that she would sacrifice her life for him.
"I'm not an outsider. Could it be that you treat me like a foreigner?"
Xu Zisheng had no respect for the royal family and took advantage of the eldest princess in his heart.
Xu Zisheng and the eldest princess Huaiqing chatted for a while, and then at the appointed time, Xu Zisheng and the eldest princess took a carriage together and left the palace city along with other carriages.
A mighty motorcade is driving out, with golden nanmu and yellow silk canopy specially designed for the royal family, inlaid with gold flakes and jade, all luxurious and top-notch sports cars.
The princes and princesses are going out for dinner and activities today, and the location has been chosen by a small lake with beautiful scenery in the imperial city. The lakeside is planted with evergreen cedars and cypresses, as well as fields of flowers that are currently withering. I believe that the scenery will be even more beautiful in the coming spring.
The sun is shining brightly today and there is no wind. It is a good day to bask in the sun. There was a square platform by the lake. The servants moved the table, lit sandalwood, and took out stacks of exquisite delicacies from the food boxes.
Adhering to the principle that silence is golden, Xu Zisheng quietly followed the eldest princess and used some tricks to weaken his presence, but it did not attract the attention of the princes and princesses.
The eldest princess's hair was combed in a simple and refreshing bun, with a priceless gold tassel inserted in it. The ends of the golden tassels were decorated with round pearls. When she walked, the tassels swayed, which was really beautiful.
There was no verbal communication between the two, but Xu Zisheng followed her naturally, like the eldest princess's bodyguard, without attracting anyone's attention. .
The other princes and princesses also got out of the luxurious carriage. Xu Zisheng glanced at them, and they all looked good. The prince was wearing a white python robe, with his hair tied in a gold crown, and he was extremely handsome. In fact, the appearance of the princes is not worth caring about, including the prince. No matter how handsome he is, he is not as handsome and heroic as Xu Zisheng.
Among the four princesses, the eldest princess and the second princess have excellent looks and are top beauties. When they were seated, the second princess, knowingly or unknowingly, took the eldest princess's seat. No one scolded her. The princes and princesses seemed to be used to it and turned a blind eye.
The eldest princess did not sit at the second princess's seat, but was at a table away from her. Everyone in the royal family knew that the eldest princess and the second princess did not get along.
The eldest princess is the daughter of the empress, and the second princess is the daughter of Concubine Chen. There is still a difference in status, but the concubine is more favored than the empress.
When she was young, the second princess liked to provoke the eldest princess and find trouble everywhere. It was just an ordinary intrigue among the Tian family.
However, the eldest princess was a domineering and maverick person. She asked her attendants to capture the second princess, but the attendants did not dare, so they took matters into their own hands. Carrying a roll of bamboo slips, they chased and beat the second princess from south to north, from south to north, and from south to north. Fight from north to south.
The maids and guards in the palace did not dare to stop him, and finally disturbed Emperor Yuan Jing, who was cultivating immortality. Concubine Chen brought her daughter with a bruised nose and face to accuse the eldest princess. Emperor Yuan Jing planned to punish the eldest princess severely and asked her to go to the imperial study.
The eldest princess was well prepared. She took more than a dozen sets of books such as "Book of Rites", "Tongdian" and "Gong Lv" to the imperial study room and opened them one by one. She quoted from classics and made impassioned speeches. In the end, she won the lawsuit. Emperor Jing of the Yuan Dynasty was depressed. The judge acquitted the princess, and he went back to cultivate immortality.
After becoming an adult, the eldest princess became much more restrained, but she often taught the second princess a lesson, much to her chagrin.
The prince looked around at his brothers and sisters and said with a warm smile.
"It's been a while since we went out to play."
The princes agreed, while the princesses smiled implicitly.
Xu Zisheng's eyes fell on the lake. He saw a black shadow passing by in the lake, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes. He obviously knew what kind of creature it was.
The prince played the role of host at the banquet, responsible for leading the topic and hosting the banquet.
There are only a few kinds of drinking orders at the banquet, and even fewer are elegant ones. Everyone here is a person of status. You can't do things like punching and throwing dice, you have to use elegant orders.
There are many types of Yaling. Putting aside the high-end game of on-site poetry writing, Feihualing is the more difficult of the Yalings. The prince started the poem with "water" as the title, and the first word was water.
In the second prince's poem, the second character must be the character "water", and so on. There were many princes and few princesses present. At the end of the first round, the seventh prince racked his brains and failed to remember that the end of the poem was the word "water", so he was fined a drink.
The eighth prince died a few years ago. The Ninth Prince is responsible for continuing this Feihua Order. Like the Crown Prince, his first character is "水".
When she arrived at the second princess, her bright peach blossom eyes opened wide and her black eyes rolled around. She clapped her little hand and said crisply.
"Yes, the shadows are sparse and the water is clear and shallow."
The bright sunshine shines on her body, wearing a bright red palace dress and gorgeous and complicated jewelry. Other women cannot control such luxurious or even vulgar dressing, but when it comes to her, it becomes a bonus.
The eldest princess's nobility is in her bones, while the second princess is more like a gorgeous and gorgeous canary. No matter how extravagant she dresses, it will only add to her beauty. But if she is dressed in plain clothes, the second princess may be much inferior to the eldest princess.
Ever since Xu Qi'an wrote this stunning poem, which attracted the attention of the courtesan Fu Xiang, the relationship between the two has become increasingly close. After Fuxiang Oiran got this poem, her net worth skyrocketed, and she became the top star of the Da Feng Dynasty. Even the children of the royal family heard about it.
The drinking order continued, and when we arrived at the eldest princess, she faced the same problem as the seventh prince. There were poems about water at the end, which were rare. Although the eldest princess was knowledgeable and talented, she didn't know much about poetry. Her delicate eyebrows were slightly frowned, and she was silent.
Upon seeing this situation, the second princess laughed and said sarcastically.
"Huaiqing is the most talented woman in our capital. She can't be out of line with her small poems."
"This second princess does have some tea. She is a model of the top green tea bitch!"
Xu Zisheng's eyes fell on the face of the second princess Lin'an, and he couldn't take his eyes away. In fact, for many men, a woman's proper tea is more attractive to men. Of course, Xu Zisheng is by no means such a vulgar man. He is looking critically.
The princes and princesses looked on with smiles. The eldest princess was so talented that she surpassed her brothers and sisters. Even if she was a woman, she was jealous. If she could suppress him in the field where she was best at, everyone would be happy to see it happen.
The eldest princess ignored the teasing looks from the royal brothers and sisters, turned her head slightly, and glanced at Xu Zisheng beside her lightly.
"What are you looking at?"
Fortunately, the eldest princess didn't know this trick, otherwise she might have had to fight Xu Zisheng for 300 rounds.
"What are you looking at?!"
The second princess has been paying attention to the eldest princess, just waiting for her to shake her head and admit defeat, and then jump out and point at her to ridicule.
"You finally admit that you are a silver gun wax head!"
Xu Zisheng sighed. Today he came with the eldest princess, so he couldn't offend her, so he had to send a message.
“When you’re drunk, you don’t know what the sky is like!”
Hearing this, the eldest princess nodded slightly, her expression unchanged, cold and holy, ignoring the proud expression of the second princess, and said lightly.
“When you’re drunk, you don’t know what the sky is like!”
The second princess was stunned for a moment, and then she felt disappointed. Huaiqing, the stinky sister, still had a few tricks up her sleeve. The other princes frowned in thought, then looked at the third prince, who shook his head and asked curiously.
"Huaiqing, how come the third brother hasn't heard of this poem?"
The eldest princess smiled lightly, as bright as a red plum in winter, which was stunning.
"This is a new poem."
The second princess suddenly became excited. It turned out to be nonsense. She couldn't believe it and shouted.
"Oh, you're a liar. You just made up some nonsense to fool us. You're going to have to drink three drinks as a penalty."
"It's okay to compose poetry impromptu,"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled, looking particularly kind, and said to the eldest princess.
"But Huaiqing, you have to write a complete poem."
The other princes and princesses nodded and agreed.
"Brother, what you said is very true."
The eldest princess turned her head again and glanced at Xu Zisheng, as if to say, I'll leave it to you.
"What are you worried about?"
"What are you looking at?!"
Xu Zisheng's inner drama was very rich. He and the eldest princess kept arguing. He sighed and transmitted the message again.
"When you are drunk, you don't know that the sky is in the water, and the boat is full of clear dreams that overwhelm the stars."
The eldest princess's eyes flashed slightly, and she subconsciously moved her neck. She glanced deeply at Xu Zisheng with her clear eyes, still maintaining her cold white lotus posture on the surface.
"When you are drunk, you don't know that the sky is in the water, and the boat is full of clear dreams that overwhelm the stars."
"When you are drunk, you don't know that the sky is in the water, and the boat is full of clear dreams that overwhelm the stars."
The second princess read it in a low voice and felt that these two lines of poetry outlined a beautiful scene that only existed in nursery rhymes. In a quiet night, she was wearing a beautiful dress, lying on the bow of the boat, with the bright starry sky above her head, and the stars reflected on the water. The boat floated on the lake, making ripples, and she fell asleep peacefully.
"It's a pity that such a good poem was written by Huaiqing!"
The second princess was very angry, but she had to be convinced and felt ashamed.
There was an eerie silence all around. The princes chewed and savored these two lines of poems, seeming to feel an ethereal air of being far away from the world and enjoying themselves.
