[System] Former political enemies are all guilty of peach blossoms

On the day of offering sacrifices to heaven, at dawn, the emperor, who had finished fasting and purifying himself, set off from Tianlong Temple with his relatives and ministers, passed the plank road in a mighty way, bypassed a mountain top, and reached the one hundred and eighty stairs under the altar of offering sacrifices to heaven. .

The staircase has been carved and repaired with white marble, and it looks pure white and pure surrounded by green pines. Facing the stairs, more than a hundred people are crowded in darkness. With the whirling of glazed pearls and jade, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven began.

Every ten steps, Qi Li will prostrate on the spot, and the crowd behind will follow his rhythm and all bow down.

One of the musicians in the Yuefu will sing the name of the county with a melodious voice as soon as he reaches the step to worship, symbolizing the 18 yuan land of the Yin Dynasty.The lingering sound of the melody of the sheng music echoes in the misty clouds of Tianlong Peak, which is simple and solemn.

After about one stick of incense, Qi Li and the royal officials finished three worships and nine kowtows, and walked to the altar of offering sacrifices to heaven on the top of the peak.

The Temple of Sacrifice to Heaven stands in a square building, with glazed tiles of the same color as the sky, plain and unadorned beams and pillars, and four round arches on each of the four walls, from which you can see the east, west, north, south, and north of the Yin Dynasty.

Qi Li's face was solemn, and after he went up to the slightly high altar, he walked down the altar in the inner room, and the people behind him were arranged in an arc, half surrounding the altar.

"Up—incense—!"

The Yuefu master was half talking and half singing, and each of the people was passed three thick/big incense sticks, and followed the emperor's steps to stand in front of the huge bronze dragon head incense burner.

"One obeisance - two obeisances - three obeisances -!"

Lift the three incense sticks to the forehead, bow three times, and then walk in a flowing line from front to back, slowly filling the flat incense ash with the incense sticks that are slowly smoldering.

Everyone returned to their positions, and Mu Yunmen, who was standing behind Sangong, looked towards Wu Wang Qibai who was not far ahead.

Next, the emperor's main event is about to begin.

"Read the words of congratulations—!"

Qi Li adjusted his crown clothes, took the congratulatory speech from the servant, opened the scroll, and read leisurely:

"On September [-]th of the first year of Shengyuan, Qi Li, the seventh emperor of the Yin Dynasty, worshiped the Queen of Heaven at the Tianlong Peak at the Temple of Heaven. May the weather be good, God bless Yin Qi, and the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe."

At the beginning is a whole official article, and every generation of emperors sacrificed to heaven has almost such rhetoric.Except for changing the titles of the king and the ministers, they are basically the same, but the things that really belong to Qi Li are revealed at the end of the scroll.

"Qi Li, according to the fate of heaven, governs the world. In order to strengthen the Yin Dynasty, the authority of God will continue to grow, so that those who try to fool around will be punished by God, and the idea of ​​​​not rebelling will be strangled in infancy and toddlers. And the cliff does not know it."

The emperor's tone was cold and arrogant, but to the ears of a few special people, it was uncomfortable no matter what.

The meaning of the words has already shown a very clear hint, which is to consolidate the power of the central government again, and deprive some rebels who are still greedy for the dragon seat of power again and again, and let you call it every day.

Who will suffer first?It must be the kings standing behind the emperor.

There is a saying that there is no royal family.

What the emperor should be most wary of is nothing more than these relatives with the same blood, because the blood of the dragon can inherit the great lineage. son.

There are far more justifiable reasons than the infamy of those who usurped the throne with a foreign surname.

Qi Baiyin clenched his hands in his wide sleeves into fists, uncontrollably furious, his eyes flashed cold for a moment, and then he calmed down.

Calm down... Who knows if this kid is referring to himself, or the King of Yan Qiye next to him?

He deliberated, concealed his nature, followed by Qi Ye, who behaved in a bad manner, and shifted the focus of the court, so that he was able to take root in Wu State and develop to his current position.

All the dormant planning for decades is for the purpose of becoming a person of great authority one day. This great cause, which started even before the little boy Qi Li was born, how can he let the little boy deprive him of everything he has painstakingly worked on.

Qi Ye's brows were indifferent, and Tao Hua's eyes were emotionless.

Then, Qi Li went on to say:

"In order to keep the prosperity of the Yin Dynasty clean and clear, the intention is to rectify the officials, check the political style, remove the cancer, and purify the court body. May the prosperous age be as big as the sky, be as pure as the sky, and live as long as the sky."

After all, the emperor put the scroll into the small incinerator on the right hand side, and it was reduced to ashes in the raging fire.

At this moment, instead of the solemnity of the sacrifice, the audience turned into a terrified silence.

In addition to cutting the crown, the next step is to punish corrupt officials. It seems that the emperor really intends to stretch his hands and feet in his crown year, and firmly grasp the imperial power in his hands!

All the policies are gradually approaching the political views that Prime Minister Mei Fu put forward four years ago. Qi Li's wise and decisive style is completely opposite to his father's benevolent and lenient style.

Mu Yunmen was in the crowd again, and caught a glimpse of Liu Rulai who was standing impatiently, and secretly used the multi-layered crown suit to suppress the sweat from his forehead.

A turbulent wave in an undercurrent has begun to permeate the entire Temple of Sacrifice to Heaven.

Qi Li began to receive the tributes, one by one, and then passed them on to the kings behind him. Animals, jade, silk, gold, the tributes from the southeast, the north, the west, and the southeast had already been delivered. Everyone offered incense again and offered a glass of fine wine to the vast sky. .

After waiting for the three sticks of incense and the time for the tributes to be tasted by the gods, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is considered to be successfully completed.

Because the ceremony was moderately simplified, at noon, all the ceremonies had come to an end, and they, the princes and nobles who had stood all morning, would return to Tianlong Temple for lunch and then return to Beijing together.

Mu Yunmen was taking off his heavy mianfu, packed up the clothes, and was about to take a carriage to the gate of the ancestral hall. At just the right time, Mei Fu brushed his tall body into the gate, and took off his mianfu without saying a word.

The man stood where he was, not knowing whether to go out or stay and help the prime minister take off his cumbersome clothes.

"What are you doing in a daze? Come and help me take off my crown robe, so many knots, it's really annoying."

Mei Fu turned her back to Mu Yunmen, but she seemed to have a pair of eyes on the back of her head, and said lazily and in a low voice.

"Mmm... Mei, Mei Fu."

In the past few days, Mu Yunmen has been threatened by Mei Fu with various chastity crises, and he must be called by his name in private.The man said awkwardly, and then helped Mayfair pull up the sleeves to make it easier for him to take them off.

There was a short period of silence, only the rustling of clothes, when Mei Fu took off his crown and left only his single clothes, Mu Yunmen began to search around. The black cloud robe that Mei Fu often wore was neatly folded on the bed.

"Muyunmen, what do you think of Doctor Yushi?"

Suddenly, Mei Fu asked.

Mu Yunmen froze for a moment, then slowly turned around and handed the clothes to Mei Fu.

In his memory, Lian Ang and his father often had political disagreements, and their swords were on the verge of breaking out. Sometimes they even almost caught his father's dereliction of duty and sent him to the guillotine.

He is a ruthless old fox who is merciless, and is said to be extremely greedy and stingy.

"Our two families have been feuding for a long time. Although I have returned to the officialdom this time, Lian An has never made things difficult for me, but... Judging from the confrontation with my father, he is a very scary character."

Mu Yunmen thought for a moment, then answered honestly.

Mei Fu put on the black uniform, and when he heard Mu Yunmen's answer, a smile of unknown meaning appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he looked back at Mu Yunmen with golden pupils.

"I believe, he will make a move soon. You never feel that he is making things difficult for you, because you don't need him to make a move."

The jade-shirted man Danfeng lowered his eyes, thought for a while, then slowly raised his head, and said with some surprise:

"Could it be that he is using someone else's hand to suppress me?"

"It has always been that he is one of the few old ministers of the former emperor. He must keep a low profile in front of the current emperor, so as not to get angry. But with Lian An's connections and financial resources, how could it be possible that there are not many people who can work for him?"

Mei Fu nodded.

"Liu Rulai... the one under Lian Ang?"

Mu Yunmen thought about the situation in the past year, apart from Mei Fu making trouble for him, Liu Rulai was the one who was particularly aggressive.Lian An himself, and all his sons who were officials in the court, turned a blind eye to him, like the air.

"It's just my guess at the moment, but it's probably right. Although his original purpose of looking for Liu Rulai was to observe my movements and see if I could be wooed, but up to now, he hasn't even paid for it. Decide whether to make a move."

After Mu Yunmen listened to Mei Fu's words in a daze, some small doubts in his heart were finally cleared up.

"It's no wonder that Liu Rulai left Mu's house, so he was able to become Jiuqing Taichang. It turned out that it was because he found a role like Lian An. But what do you mean when you say that Lian An is about to start acting?"

"Muyunmen, why I said this is to make you be careful."

Mei Fu lowered her eyes, turned around and lowered her head to stare at the man, and gently stroked the man's wet lips with her fingers, as Mei Fu often did this recently.

"...I plan to take advantage of your sacrifice to heaven this time to petition the emperor to elevate you to the post of Prime Minister of the Left, to assist the Prime Minister of the Right, and remove the current thorns in the Emperor's eyes, King Wu and Lian An."
