[Rebirth] Chronicle of the Two Capitals

After thinking about it, it was like being weighed down by a stone, Tang Yu couldn't rest assured after all.In the early morning of the next day, she went to Weiyang Palace to pay her respects. Not long after the Empress Dowager got up, she was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, and Gong'e was putting on makeup with her.Her black hair like a crow's feather was tied in a high bun, and the exquisite and luxurious gold hairpin and emerald phoenix were inserted obliquely on the bun, and the crystal clear beads dripped down, complementing the two beautiful snow-white earlobes.

After entering the hall, Tang Yu couldn't help but stop. She stood behind the queen mother, and what she saw was her exquisitely beautiful profile.Her eyes moved inch by inch across her beautifully curved and smooth jawline. Her lips were as rosy as cherries, plump and delicious as soaked in water. The lady of the palace put on makeup, and the queen mother turned her face slightly. He stared intently, holding his breath, and swallowed involuntarily.

Looking up, there is a straight and beautiful nose, and eyes that look like Wang Minghong. Suddenly Tang Yu saw Gong'e holding a snail and thrushing her eyebrows.This palace maid is not a low-grade palace maid who does rough work. Her hands can't be called calloused, yellow and ugly, but they are actually white and slender.Even when touching the empress dowager's jade-carved face while applying makeup like this, Tang Yu still felt like a waste of money.

She stepped forward and walked to the Empress Dowager, took the snail from Gong'e's hand very naturally, and said softly: "Mother, let me give you a thrush." ​​Thrush is a matter of the husband and wife's boudoir, she blurted it out without feeling it. Sure, it's too late to take it back, the snail in my hand is as heavy as a thousand weights, it's not good to put it down, and it's not good to not put it down.

Suddenly remembering the little stone that inexplicably tripped the Queen Mother last night, Tang Yu looked into her eyes subconsciously. The Queen Mother raised her eyes to look at the snail in her hand, and then moved her eyes to look at her again. This time she stopped and stared for a little longer. After a while, he nodded and said, "Okay."

Her eyes were the same color as usual, her expression was the same, nothing unusual.

However, there were still uneven wrinkles in her heart, which seemed to indicate important details she had missed, and soon joy and joy flooded her heart like a wave, covering up all the wrinkles.Tang Xi held her breath, and she restrained her surprise and trembling hands to draw her eyebrows. The color of Luo Dai, as light as a distant mountain, carefully traced the pair of black eyebrows flying obliquely into the temples in front of her.

There is a pair of long but not slender phoenix eyes under the black eyebrows. The Queen Mother used them to look at Tang Yu in the bronze mirror. All kinds of nostalgia.The long eyebrows are almost finished. Different from the brows that were exposed in the past, the ends of the eyebrows are slightly drawn to remove the overly eye-catching momentum and add a little charm.

The thrush is like a child with a treasure in his arms. He wants to show off but is afraid of being robbed, and he is even more reluctant to bury the treasure out of his own selfishness.

Tang Yu put Luo Dai down, and she suddenly saw that the front skirt of the Empress Dowager's swallow's dress was not fastened, and she could vaguely see the smooth, delicate, snow-like skin between her collarbones with her lowered eyes, staring at it without blinking. There, she suddenly blushed her earlobes, and wanted to tie her dress belt for her. She had done this kind of thing for her before, and it was considered a polite thing between mother and daughter, so she would not be suspicious of it.

When Tang Yu stretched out his hand and was about to touch the belt, the Queen Mother suddenly pressed her hand, lowered her eyes and said indifferently: "The time is coming, don't stay any longer."

Tang Yu looked at the clepsydra in the hall, smiled happily and said, "Okay, I'll go to court now, and see you later."

The palace attendants surrounded her and left. The Empress Dowager sat in the hall, and she looked at herself in the bronze mirror. This eyebrow shape undoubtedly suited her heart.She is familiar with her preferences, just like she knows her thoughts, and they are the most transparent and smooth mirror for each other after ten years of nurturing and getting along with each other.

After a while, Liandong entered the room and said, "Your Highness, Master Yu and Yizheng are already waiting in the side hall."

The queen mother said calmly: "Please let them in."

There is no news of the envoy Xue Jie sent to Wutar, but the journey is long and the weather is bitter and cold, so the trip may have been delayed.The defenses on the border between the two countries have been strengthened. If the flames of war are ignited, an emergency response will be possible immediately, and they will not fall into the disadvantage of being passively beaten.Except for Wutar, the envoys of vassal states including Juli, Persi, Atoye and other countries have arrived in Beijing recently, presenting tributes from their own countries to the emperor, wishing the two countries will be reconciled forever.

These vassal states either regarded the Central Plains Empire as their suzerain state in the previous dynasty, or were subdued by the powerful force of the two emperors Tai/zu and Chengzu of the current dynasty. The vassal states pay tribute every year, such as Juli and Persi In the case of the genus, the title of the lord of the country needs to be issued by the king of the suzerain country, and the imperial seal is issued. The clothes and ornaments follow the vassal system, and the status and status are just like a minister.

The relationship between the two is to a certain extent dependent on lips and teeth, so correspondingly, the Suzerain Congress came forward to resolve the internal turmoil in the vassal state and help it stabilize the turbulent situation.For example, last year when there was civil strife in Juli, treacherous ministers usurped the throne and harmed the royal family of Juli. Finally, the envoys of Juli asked for help.

The envoys who came to the DPRK all lived in the Huitong Pavilion and were received by officials from the Honglu Temple. After the winter hunting, they returned to their hometown.

Although Tang Yu had previously ordered Xue Jie to emphasize to Persi's envoys not to pay tribute to the noodles, but Persi's brain circuit is obviously twisted and twisted. When he arrived in Beijing this time, he brought a total of 30 male and female noodles. Twelve or thirteen years old, the oldest is not as strong as the weak crown.Tang Yu was so angry that her head hurt, she said so many mistakes, and she couldn't understand the language. Even if there was a translator, it was hard to guarantee that there would be no "beautiful misunderstanding" in the context. A king who has no desires, no pursuits, and a pure heart, is neither masculine nor feminine.

The eyes of all the civil and military officials in the court were almost fixed on these fresh and delicious faces, while the remaining pairs were staring blankly at Tang Yu on the imperial steps, apparently silently admonishing her not to ask for sex. Faint.In both public and private matters, she would not dare to support or even pamper Mian Shou because of her fierce heart and leopard courage. She just ordered the palace servants to take the Nian Shou down as in previous years. .

Qin Mi had already beheaded to show the public, and the position of Chief Minister of Yongzhou was taken by the Chief Minister of Right, so a vacancy was left for an official.The state chief envoys are from the second grade, they are the chiefs of the local governments, and they will also be strong competitors of the six central departments in the future.Tang Yu's preferred candidate was a female official who had worked hard during the reign of the first emperor. She was over [-] years old and still unmarried, so her qualifications for political achievements were sufficient.

This time, she did not mobilize public opinion in the court, but mentioned it herself when she went to court, and the audience responded.

You all turned pale with shock.Throughout the three dynasties, there has never been a female official above the third rank. Once this is the first of its kind, it will be hard to recover in the future!

The courtiers looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to speak rashly, so they all focused on the two prime ministers.Seeing Su Xie's holding wat come out, he made a speech, praising him for his excellent talents and virtues, and he is worthy of this important task.After Su Xie Xuanma made his obeisance to the prime minister, although he insisted on keeping the wind in his sleeves, the number of followers increased day by day. When he spoke, the people behind him followed him one after another.On the other hand, Xiao Shen smiled and said nothing, this attitude is not outright opposition, more like acquiescence, and there are a group of people who are talking about it just now and keep silent.

Then, look at the other three assistant ministers appointed by the late emperor, Ming Yanzhi, Le Mao from Xiao Shen and his like, and Wang Boyuan...

The six ministers were in the second row, Zhang Jing, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, squinted at Wang Boyuan, and seeing that he couldn't hold back, he came out with a wat board in his hand and said, "Your Majesty, there was no such case to follow in the previous emperor's time. I hope your majesty will take it back." !"

Tang Yan raised his eyebrows and asked back: "The first emperor? Qing Xiandi, or is it about me?"

Wang Boyuan knelt down, bowed to the tunnel, and said, "I'm the first emperor, and my Majesty's future. The sun and the moon can learn from my loyalty. This dynasty has always ruled the world with filial piety. Your majesty must not violate the last wish of the late emperor and go against the ancestral system!"

Wang Boyuan was not without friends. Seeing this, several officials kowtowed to persuade the emperor.Among them, one was particularly annoyed by the incident, and said with a red neck, "Your Majesty, this move is tantamount to a reversal of the universe, and the chaos of yin and yang! The rooster wakes up in the morning, and the only thing that leads to the family is the world's permanent turmoil!"

Hearing this, the whole hall was in an uproar. It was right to cite scriptures for advice, but one should not act impulsively regardless of the occasion.After the matter was finished, his face turned pale, and he seemed to be talking nonsense just now. Wang Boyuan knelt in front of him and stared back at him fiercely.He didn't even dare to lift his head during the incident, his forehead was firmly pressed against the gold brick, even so, it was still like a thorn in his back.

Time passed very slowly, cutting away his body and mind like Ling Chi, and in the dead and silent hall, there was a sound of footsteps from far to near.His temples were instantly covered with sweat, which slid drop by drop onto the shiny gold bricks. Out of the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of a pair of red cloud shoes, and then there was a condescending voice that could not distinguish between emotions and anger: "Qing Keep your head up."

Can the sacred order be violated?

Shaking like chaff, he raised his head, and Tang Yu stood in front of him with a long body, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he said: "The Qing family might as well look back, is it a golden crow or a jade rabbit hanging in the sky outside?"

He turned his head stiffly and slowly to see that in the midwinter weather, only the wind was blowing, and he could neither see the sun nor the moon, but did he dare to say that there is no sun and no moon?The king is the sun and the moon.

"Answer!" Tang Yu suddenly shouted sharply.

Frightened by the incident, his face turned blue, and he said in a trembling voice: "I've made a mistake, I deserve death." As he spoke, he kowtowed, one by one, and gradually, his forehead was pierced, and a horrifying scarlet oozes out. The blood came.He did make a slip of the tongue, when the hen crows, the family will be ruined, implying that when a woman is in power, the country will perish, but the monarch he serves is the empress.

Just now when Tang Yu sternly reprimanded, all civil and military officials in the court knelt down and begged His Majesty to appease his anger with one voice, it was just a formality.Even if his anger is appeased, he will inevitably be punished by death, as expected, at this moment he has been dragged down by the servant and killed with a stick.

This matter is not over yet, everyone saw that Tang Yu was holding a booklet in her hand, she seemed to be fully prepared today, and came here to make an example of others.

Wang Boyuan didn't even dare to breathe now, Tang Yu walked towards him with steady steps, and in a short while, she changed into a kind and benevolent appearance, and she was completely different from her previous life and death: "Qing's words come from the heart , I think of the late emperor as a role model, and often read the old stories of the late emperor, and it is not like my elder father or even my great-grandmother as an example, is it a violation of filial piety?"

Tang Yu's words directly brought out the first female emperor of the Jin Dynasty. At the end, she handed the booklet in her hand to Wang Boyuan in person: "You are in charge of the Ministry of Officials. This file is the detailed record of officials during the reign of King Sejong. You might as well look through it carefully. There are old examples to follow."

Wang Boyuan took the roster with trembling hands, whether to turn it over or not, the position of Yongzhou Right Chief Envoy has been decided.The emperor's unnecessary action was to save his face. After all, he was the hero who helped her ascend the throne back then.
