Beyond Gold and Jade [Rebirth]

The canonization ceremony was held in the Xuanzheng Hall. Outside the hall were civil and military officials, and the imperial guards were guarding everywhere. A long dark red carpet went straight to the golden throne. At the front were the royal family members of the Gu family.

Prince Sheng was wearing a royal royal attire, and he was getting impatient for a long time, squinting his eyes and dozing off, the minister beside him pushed him, bowed and called out: "My lord, it seems that the time has come, why don't you see your majesty and the phoenix?" Look at your figure, do you need to send someone..."

Prince Cheng raised his eyelids and interrupted: "Is it something you and I can guess about the holy will, just wait patiently."

The minister kept his promise and dared not mention it again.

Prince Sheng snorted lightly. He still knew a little about his good nephew's temper. The treasure he had been looking forward to for many years finally fell into his hands. I know, if he spoils his good deeds at this time, even if it is his own uncle, there will be no good fruit to eat.

After all, he is unwilling to do this early bird.

Seeing that the auspicious time had passed, the people in the hall were fluctuating, and there were many discussions. Several members of the royal family felt ashamed and sent someone to invite the Empress Dowager.

The two most honorable women in the Daegu Dynasty were not good people in the past, but since the new emperor ascended the throne, they have lived a life like a Bodhisattva, amiable, and have never interfered with the government affairs. not on.

Because he lost the face of the royal family, Prince Sheng also felt that he couldn't hold back his old face, so he quietly moved to Ye Yanbai's side, smiled kindly, and said, "Ye Xiang, you are now both the emperor's teacher and the head of the country, and your Majesty's behavior is inappropriate. , do you see..."

Ye Yanbai curled up his sleeves, and said slowly: "Your Majesty's praise, Mr. Feng just moved the genealogy yesterday, and he will not be a descendant of my Ye family in the future, so how can he say that the father-in-law said that, besides, the establishment of a heir is both a state matter and a family matter. It's not easy to ask, naturally it's better for you to come forward, my lord."

Prince Sheng scolded the old fox secretly, but he couldn't refute it.

After two hours, the sun was setting, and the chief eunuch was ordered to come here to convey the emperor's order, announcing that all the ministers would go to the Wanhua Palace to participate in the banquet.

The post-sealing ceremony was not mentioned again.

The Empress Dowager Ceremony has always been a major national event, and it will never be canceled easily. Could it be that there is something wrong with this Feng Jun who has just been carried into the palace?

Everyone looked at the Ye family father and son. These two people always looked indifferent, and they couldn't see any way. All the ministers restrained their expressions, discussed in low voices, and walked towards the Wanhua Palace together.

Ye Yanbai stroked his beard and said, "It's really outrageous."

Not knowing who he was talking about, Ye Chonghui responded in a low voice, echoing his father's words.

======

Zichen Palace.

A few dragon and phoenix candlesticks swayed gently, creating an ambiguous atmosphere in the room.

Wrapped in the quilt, Ye Chongjin said: "Go by yourself, I won't go out after all, it's better to let them think that I'm not favored than to ask others to point and talk."

Gu Chen hugged him into his arms, opened a gap, kissed the child's soft hair, and said with a smile: "Why don't you favor me? Ah Jin thinks I don't love you enough?"

Ye Chongjin scolded: "You beast, pervert!"

"I love my beloved wife. It's justifiable both emotionally and rationally. How can I be a beast? However, I admit that I am a woman. I wish I could die on Ah Jin's body. I can't hurt enough."

Ye Chongjin was ashamed and annoyed, his whole body was stained with crimson, his slender jade neck was so beautiful that Gu Chen couldn't move his eyes away, there seemed to be a fire burning in his chest, he was hot and thirsty.

He said faintly: "A Jin, if you hook me up again, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the banquet tonight."

Ye Chongjin was puzzled and said, "Why did I seduce you?"

Gu Chen put his big hand on his thin neck, rubbed it lightly, and told him with his movements how he seduced him—as long as this child appeared in front of him, he was seducing him.

Ye Chongjin couldn't talk to him, and kept silent, Gu Chen coaxed: "Ajin, don't you want to see your father and brother? I don't see you today, and I'm afraid I won't see you in a short time."

Ye Chongjin lifted the quilt and glared at him.

His alluring face is now stained with a condition that has never been stained before. It is so gorgeous that Gu Chen likes it so much that there is a slight pain in his chest. .

He held her in his arms, frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "Forget it, I will go by myself, I will not be willing to let anyone see you like this."

Ye Chongjin laughed, thinking he was joking.

Unexpectedly, Gu Chen asked someone to present a set of thin silk underwear, put it on for him himself, then stuffed him into the bed, kissed his white forehead, and said softly: "I will come back as soon as I go, Ah Jin is waiting for me here."

Then, she kissed his eyes twice before striding out.

Ye Chongjin was stunned for a while, and finally realized that this person really wanted him, the newly promoted Lord Feng, not to attend the empress ceremony.

Forget it, his whole body hurts now, and he will make a fool of himself if he goes there.

He called out, and Gu Chen really left his cronies here, who knelt on the ground, waiting for orders.

Ye Chongjin said: "Tell Your Majesty, drink less alcohol, otherwise you will not go back to Zichen Palace tonight."

The man was silent for a while, and then responded in a low voice: "Here."

Suddenly disappeared in the hall.

Ye Chongjin yawned and fell into a deep sleep. He didn't worry about not seeing his family at all. After all, he was going out of the palace tomorrow, and he still had important things to do.

=======

In the Wanhua Palace, the banquet was in full swing. The emperor came down suddenly, said a few words on the scene, and then sat down to drink and watch the dance. The jug of wine only moved a little.

He has a good capacity for alcohol, he has led soldiers for many years and has experienced on the battlefield, and he is very fond of wine. Today, on such a good day, he only tasted a few sips, and many people are thinking about it.

Although the second son of the Ye family was really beautiful, with a golden and jade skin, but inside he was an ignorant dude, with his current literary and martial arts skills, he naturally looked down on him.

Halfway through the banquet, Gu Chen rewarded the Ye family according to the rules, but Ye Xiang was already an extremely powerful minister, An's family already had an imperial order, and Ye Chonghui was young, and he entered and exited the cabinet. This family has nothing to promote , I only rewarded some gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin.

For a while, many people planned to watch the Ye family's good show, and some people were thinking about it.

Ye Chongjin didn't let Gu Chen drink alcohol, so he had to watch the singing and dancing, but seeing these singers scratching their heads and posing, he just felt that it was an eyesore, just now he was holding a piece of jade from the heavenly fairyland in his arms, now when he looks at others, he becomes dust on the ground, look more I feel bored at a glance.

He looked around, except for Marquis Zhenyuan who was imprisoned in the Marquis Mansion by him tonight, most of the others were there, except that Mo Huaixuan was missing.

Mo Huaixuan was always in good standing, since he was absent, there must have been something important, but even the emperor didn't know about the important thing.

At this time, someone presented a secret report, he opened it and glanced at it, then sneered.

His voice was not loud, but it was very intimidating. All the singing and dancing in the hall stopped, and the dancers knelt on the ground, begging His Majesty for forgiveness.

The ministers pushing the cups and changing the cups, the royal relatives enjoying themselves happily, even the empress dowager and the empress dowager who were dining in the table all showed a trace of caution.

Empress Dowager Mu said: "Emperor, why are you angry? I don't know who offended you."

Gu Chen didn't say a word, but everyone present already guessed that it was the spoiled second son of the Ye family who offended the emperor. Nothing like a good match from heaven can compare to the heart of a king.

Empress Dowager Mu also knew about the Empress Dowager Ceremony. Someone asked her to make decisions in the Palace of Compassion and Peace before. She never dared to interfere with the emperor's affairs, and she was also afraid of the energy of the Ye clan, so she just pretended not to know.

It's just that at this moment, she couldn't allow her to pretend to be stupid.

Empress Dowager Mu persuaded: "On this great day, peace is the most important thing in everything. Feng Jun is still young, and even if there is something wrong, the emperor should be tolerant."

Gu Chen frowned, and said: "The queen mother's words, but the minister can't understand."

Every word is like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's hearts.He has always been extremely imposing, domineering and awe-inspiring, and now when he showed his displeasure, many people broke out in a cold sweat.

But the emperor said in a deep voice: "How could Mr. Feng have something bad, such words, the queen mother should not say any more in the future."

"..."

Civil and military officials all seemed stupid.

After hearing this, Empress Dowager Mu couldn't hold back her always calm face, and said, "Since Lord Feng has nothing wrong with it, today's Empress Dowager Ceremony..."

Gu Chen said: "Mr. Feng has been weak since he was a child, and he suffered from inadequacies. The court clothes and crowns have always been heavy, which caused him a lot of hardships. The ceremony of conferring the queen, the sacrifice and worship are really cumbersome, and his body may not be able to hold on. If something went wrong on the way, wouldn't it be disrespectful to the ancestors, so these customary etiquettes are avoided, and they will be made up in the future when the body recovers."

Empress Dowager Mu said, "Making it up in the future?..."

Gu Chen nodded: "Exactly."

With a click, someone accidentally knocked over the wine glass, and the hall was dead silent.

Ye Yanbai couldn't help laughing, it was the first time he had been an official for decades, he found this court very interesting.

The empress dowager's face turned purple when she heard it, she had never seen such absurd thing in her whole life.Unable to happen.

There is nothing wrong with the emperor voluntarily doting on Feng Jun. Besides, the child's natal family is the Ye family. He kept saying that the young master of the Ye family was in poor health and very weak, if he held on to him, wouldn't it mean that he was vicious and didn't know how to adapt.

She asked: "Since this is the case, I don't know where the emperor's anger came from."

Gu Chen put the secret report in his hand aside, looked at the flustered Liu Zhizhou, and said, "Liu Qing, you don't look very pretty."

Liu Zhizhou quickly knelt down on the ground, and said: "Your Majesty, I just drank two more cups, and there is no serious problem."

Gu Chen said: "Really, I just received a secret report from Mo Qing, saying that a group of rebels from the former government were caught in Longzhi Mountain outside the city, and there are people from you among them."

"Your Majesty, there is absolutely no such thing! Your Majesty has been wronged! It must be framed by someone with a heart."

Gu Chen said: "Whether verbal or verbal arguments are ultimately unconvincing, why not let you be the presiding judge, find out the mastermind behind the scenes within three days, and give me an explanation, otherwise, no matter whether it is you or that group of rebellious parties, everyone will be killed." Shoot or kill."

Liu Zhizhou gritted his teeth and said, "I obey the order."

=======

"Three days, how is this possible..."

"Master Liu doesn't know how he offended Long Yan, this is clearly a crime that must be died."

"Whoever made him have anything to do with the rebellious party in the previous dynasty can only blame him for his bad luck, and followed the thieves' way."

Coming out of the Wanhua Hall, there was a lot of discussion all the way, Prince Cheng squinted his eyes, and said to Ye Yanbai: "What is Ye Xiangbai's opinion?"

Ye Yanbai said: "It's not a high opinion, it's just the truth that His Majesty is wise and powerful, and will never kill innocent people indiscriminately. The truth will be known after three days' meeting."

Prince Cheng paused for a moment, then laughed loudly, and said, "What Ye Xiang said is absolutely true."

When he left, Ye Yanbai frowned and asked, "What is he laughing at?"

Ye Chonghui was silent for a moment, and said: "Father used to look down on His Majesty, but now he is full of praise."

"..."

Ye Yanbai choked, it seemed that it was true, could it be that Yue Zhang looked at his son-in-law more and more pleasing to his eyes.
