Remembrance Hibiscus GL

The second day was Yuan Day. Zong Xu got up early in the morning and finished his breakfast. He started to write auspicious words as in previous years, worshiped the Buddha, offered sacrifices to heaven and ancestors. Banquet with the clan, and then go to the Chuigong Hall together with Binglun, civil and military officials kneel down to congratulate the Queen Mother and the emperor, and present congratulatory forms, followed by a state banquet.

Because all countries in the Western Regions have surrendered, envoys are sent to Beijing with tributes in the new year. Most of these envoys are descendants of the royal family and have high status.Since all nations came to the court, this state banquet is naturally more grand than previous years. Lanterns and festoons are hung inside and outside Changchun Palace, and beautiful curtains are laid. Banquets are lined up in the main hall, side halls and corridors. Enjoy it all.

After raising the wine to the third cup, Binglun ordered Huo Lin to toast the envoys on behalf of himself and the emperor. Huo Lin grew up in the western border and fought all the year round. They got up and left the table one after another, showing more respect than treating the emperor, Zong Xu saw it, and felt even more resentful.

At night, tens of thousands of lanterns and multicolored bead lamps are lit up and down Chaoyang Gate, the main entrance of the imperial city, illuminating them like Qionglou and Yuque.Temporary tents were set up on the city tower, the gorgeous tent with a golden roof and canopy in the middle belonged to the queen mother and the emperor, and several smaller red tents with silver tops and canopies on the left and right were prepared for Huo Lin, Yang Yan and other princes and important officials. .

Because the weather was still cold, besides Binglun's court clothes, she wore black fox fur, while Zong Xu and Lian Zhen both wore sable fur, standing beside her on one left and one on the right.Lian Zhen has never set foot in any place in the outer court since she entered the palace for so many years. A few years ago, Zong Xu wanted to invite her to watch the fireworks at the Chaoyang Gate, but Binglun never agreed. She also knew that as a concubine, she went to It was against the rules, not to mention that he didn't yearn for this matter very much in his heart, so he just took it as the emperor's childish words and laughed it off. Unexpectedly, Binglun personally invited him this year.

In the middle of the square in front of the city gate, a huge red carpet stretches all the way to the distance, and the imperial forest guards with silver armor and gold helmets on both sides line up in a rectangular army formation, as neat and orderly as a knife.Looking from a distance, hundreds of meters away from the Wolong Bridge, there was a turbulent crowd of people, and thousands of imperial guards formed a solid wall inside and outside, keeping the crowds out, and the scene was spectacular.

When the auspicious time arrived, the music sounded, and all civil and military officials and envoys from the Western Regions slowly stepped onto the red carpet one by one. After standing still, they all bowed three times and nine times in the direction of the tower. Thousands of people in the distance also knelt down. Going down, only the guards of the imperial forest did not look sideways, still standing upright like javelins.

Looking down from the towering and majestic city tower, the people below seem especially humble and insignificant. The shouts of "Long live, long live, long live!" are like mountains and seas, endless, resounding through the sky.Standing there, Lianzhen suddenly had the feeling that the whole world was under her feet. At this moment, she felt the magic of power strongly and truly for the first time. She was deeply shocked in her heart, and she couldn't help but look at Binglun, Seeing her coldly watching what happened below, her expression was calm, like a noble born king, accepting the worship of all people as a matter of course.

Accompanied by thunderous bangs, the fireworks are set off together, sometimes like thousands of red fish leaping into the sea of ​​clouds, sometimes like stars falling slowly into the Milky Way, sometimes like flaming trees and flowers blooming in the night sky, dizzying, dazzling, surrounded by cheers Thunder, the crowd is boiling.

The red sky, the flickering red light, the red carpet. . . . . .For some reason, Binglun suddenly remembered the scene when Huo Mu led people to attack Chaoyang Gate that night, the earth-shattering roar, billowing smoke and flames, blood splashing everywhere, and the red moat. And, the hundreds of officials, imperial guards, and common people below gradually became blurred, and then turned into soldiers who went on and on that night, piled up like a mountain of corpses.

Binglun suddenly turned her head to the side, Lianzhen noticed her strangeness, and asked, "What's wrong?"

The sound of fireworks, the cheers of the crowd in the distance, the surroundings were too noisy, she couldn't hear her voice clearly, but she vaguely knew what it meant, so she shook her head, calmed down a little, and her eyes stopped on her beautiful and gentle face, He couldn't help raising his hand, as if wanting to hold her, touched her with his fingertips, finally put it down, and said softly: "Lian'er, we can be together well from now on."

Lian really didn't know what she was talking about, and it was inconvenient to ask loudly, so she just looked at her suspiciously, she let out a long breath, and turned her head away again as if nothing had happened.

After watching the fireworks, Binglun and the emperor will go back to the palace, continue to have banquets with their courtiers, listen to plays and watch song and dance performances, and there will also be a tea banquet in Lianzhen's harem.After getting off the tower, Lian Zhen stood beside her sedan chair, waiting for the queen mother and the emperor to get on the sedan chair. Zong Xu hadn't been close to her for a long time, and it was inconvenient to talk when they met two days ago. At this moment, Lian Zhen looked at her eagerly. Knowing that he has a lot of things these days, he must be tired, but the New Year's rules in the palace are cumbersome, even if her heart hurts, she can't do anything about it.

Gao Xian secretly winked at the deputy chief eunuch of Changle Palace, Ma Song hurried forward and urged: "Your Majesty, get on the sedan chair, don't miss the hour."

On the morning of the second day of junior high school, a group of civil servants and military generals, including Xin Rui, a scholar of Qinxian Palace, Yu Boyan, Minister of Rites, and brothers Sun Teng and Sun Yue, went to Changle Palace to meet the emperor.

At that time, Zong Xu had just had his breakfast, and when he saw these people coming in, he felt something was wrong, stood up, and said: "Zhu Aiqing came to see me at this time, why?"

Xin Rui cleared his throat, and said: "The king of Xiang pacified the Western Regions, made all the nations bow their heads, and the four barbarians were naturalized, and today is a peaceful and prosperous world. Wanmin, the kindness of the king of Xiang, the grace of the future generations, the king of Xiang is the No. 1 in the past and the present. The ministers and others thought that the great Yan Guozuo was exhausted, and they came here today to ask the emperor to follow the example of Yao and Shun, and the Zen is located in the king of Xiang. The fortune of the world, the blessing of the people!"

Zong Xu couldn't believe his ears, he opened his eyes wide, and was filled with shock and anger: "My ancestors worked hard to conquer the country, and built the foundation of Dayan for 300 years. After several generations, it has now been passed down to me. You eat the king's salary, Not only can you not be loyal to the emperor, but you dare to deceive me when I am young, intending to force the palace? Are there any courtiers like you in the world?!"

He was brought up by Binglun himself since he was a child, and his words and deeds are quite majestic. Even when he was angry, he didn't feel flustered at all. He spoke a few words so loudly that he left Xin Rui speechless. Abandoned, there must be decline in prosperity, Emperor Wenzong was not right when he took the throne, after succeeding to the throne, he was violent and licentious, and lost the hearts of the people. Tuyuhun's thousands of iron cavalry trampled on it recklessly. I advise the emperor not to be greedy for the monarchy, to adapt to the current situation as soon as possible, to abdicate and let the worthy do what is right."

"You...you dare to insult my father!" Zong Xu pointed at him, trembling with anger: "I am greedy for the monarchy? This world belongs to me, and I was born to be the emperor! I will never Abandoning the foundation of the ancestors! Anyone who forces me will be a traitor, a traitor, and everyone will be punished, and the stigma will last through the ages, and the eternity will be reviled!"

Sun Teng had long been impatient with Xin Rui and other civil officials chattering away. Seeing that Zong Xu was still putting on the airs of the emperor, and he was very eloquent, he snatched the draft from Yu Boyan's hand and said with a smile: "Lord Xin, Yu Yu My lord, you go out first, I like to talk about big things in my life, let me talk to the emperor, maybe he will understand."

After hearing what he said, everyone withdrew from the hall together. Sun Teng glanced around and said, "The others also go out!"

Wei Lun kowtowed to the emperor without saying a word, and then came out of the hall, Zong Xu shouted: "Little Wei!" Looking at each other, they hurriedly exited.

Zong Xu became anxious and shouted, "Come on!"

"Your majesty, save your energy, no one will come." Sun Teng suppressed his smile and said coldly: "Your Majesty Yu was not wrong just now, your father is a faint king, cowardly externally and cruel internally, he When he was in power, in order to please Tubo Deli Zanpu, he gave his own sister to that bad old man, um, a beautiful little princess, who was tortured to death like this, if Emperor Sejong knew the fate of his beloved daughter It's so miserable, I don't know how to feel?"

"Ah!" Sun Yue said: "For these years, fortunately, the Queen Mother has worked hard to rule the country, abolished the bad government, and appeased the people, and the King Xiang has worked hard to resist foreign enemies and stabilize the dynasty. This is the current situation. Your Majesty, you are just a yellow mouth My son, if you don't contribute an inch to the country, and don't owe an inch to the people, how dare you continue to sit on the emperor's throne, abdicate quickly!"

The two brothers sang together and did not give Zong Xu a chance to speak. Zong Xu's lungs would explode, but Sun Teng and Sun Yue were no different than Xin Rui and Yu Boyan just now. , walking towards him step by step, he gradually became afraid in his heart, and backed away involuntarily: "You...what do you want to do?!"

With a "snap", Sun Teng put the draft edict on the imperial case, with a fierce look in his eyes: "We are ministers, and we don't want to embarrass the emperor. The emperor just needs to copy two copies of this draft edict, one copy Give it to me, keep a copy for yourself, and read it in front of civil and military officials in the Chui Gong Palace tomorrow, and that's it."

"That's right." Sun Yue drew out the long sword at his waist, and said, "Your Majesty is very careful. When copying, you can't make mistakes in every single word, and every stroke must be neat, otherwise it won't work."

Zong Xu saw that he was holding a sword in his hand, the air was cold and the light was shining, his face turned pale with shock, and his hands trembled. He took the draft edict and glanced at it. , sat down on the dragon chair, and cried loudly at his desk.

Gently opened the sandalwood box, and carefully unwrapped the bright yellow silk cloth, a white jade seal with a radius of four inches came into view. Huo Lin held up the jade seal of the Chuanguo with both hands, and looked at the eight seal characters "Ordered by the sky, life will last forever" , the excitement and joy in my heart are indescribable, and I looked at it for a while before wrapping it up again.

Binglun said: "Tomorrow, I will not go to the Chui Gong Palace."

Huo Lin said: "Since my sister doesn't want to go, then I won't go."

Binglun said: "In addition to giving you the jade seal, there is another person, you also need to meet."

Huo Lin was slightly startled, a middle-aged man dressed in imperial guard costume had come in from outside, and knelt down in front of him on one knee: "This subordinate has seen the prince."

Huo Lin looked at Binglun, Binglun said: "This is Shi Jiangping, the commander of the hidden guard."

Huo Lin was overjoyed, and hurriedly helped Jiang Ping up with his own hands, Binglun said to Jiang Ping: "From now on, you will follow Prince Xiang, and you can change your mind in a few days."

Jiang Ping said: "Yes."

Binglun nodded, Jiang Ping saluted to her and Huo Lin respectively, bowed and left.Huo Lin was completely relieved at this moment, and his gratitude couldn't be more extreme, he looked at Binglun and said: "Sister..."

"You don't need to say anything, since I promised you, I will give you everything that should be handed over to you." Binglun waved his hand and said: "Just one more thing, the civil servants I have promoted and hired over the years don't need to say anything. , like Tan Ying, Ran Li and other generals, you don’t need to use them, but I hope you will treat them kindly in the future.”

Huo Lin hurriedly said: "Sister, don't worry, our siblings are of one mind. If they are loyal to my sister, they are loyal to me. I will never disappoint their loyalty."

He looked respectful, and his tone sounded very sincere and sincere, Binglun twirled the beads in his hand, and after a while, he said softly: "Tomorrow is a big day, you should go back early and rest."
