Qinglian Snow Heavy

Tired Qinglian let go of her worries, and finally passed out from the pain.Seeing Qinglian fainted, Tong Yi hugged him horizontally, then turned to Qin Zhengqing who had been silent all the time: "Zhengqing, let's send Qinglian back first, and then we can talk." When Qinglian returned to Qingyun Pavilion, Tong and Qin had a long talk overnight in the lotus garden.

Last night, Qin Zhengqing stayed in the Tong Mansion, and he will enter the palace with Tong Yi early the next morning.Although today is not the day of the court meeting in the first day of the lunar new year, since yesterday was the country's grand ceremony for worshiping heaven, the emperor will also hold a court meeting today to arrange the state affairs arrangements for the second half of the year. .

Originally, people in the Yuefu were not considered courtiers. Although they were under the name of the Ministry of Rites, they were actually controlled and controlled by the harem, mostly to meet the requirements of the palace for entertainment.In the past, Qin Zhengqing, the head of the court music, did not need to participate, because the service of the Yuefu was not a national event after all.But every time the court meeting is held after the ceremony, the Yueshou or Yuezheng of the Yuefu will usually be in the last shift in order to prevent the emperor from asking on the spur of the moment.

In front of the Ziwei Hall, three quiet whips sounded, and the civil and military ministers entered the hall in two groups. Tong Yi was naturally the head of military officials in Beijing, while Qin Zhengqing was at the bottom of the list of civil officials.Although Jia Rui hadn't slept all night yesterday, and now he is a bit young, but today Jia Rui is well-dressed and meticulously dressed. Under the twelve-pronged crown, he looks more and more majestic as an emperor and lofty as a temple.

At the beginning of the court meeting, Grand Tutor Yan Shoufang spoke about some important affairs in the court. Although Huimin has not delegated power at all in recent years, Yan Shoufang is still the emperor's teacher who educates and assists the emperor. Therefore, although he does not have real power, he can be regarded as a civil servant. their leader.In the past two years, Yan Shoufang also knew that the Empress Dowager Huimin was persecuting Jiarui, so no matter what the court situation was, he only said innocuous things at the court meeting.After Yan Shoufang has finished describing the recent major state affairs, if the ministers and workers have any issues or supplements, they will come forward to argue.

Generally, no one will speak anymore when the court meeting is here, because on the one hand, the impatient emperor is eager to disperse the court, and on the other hand, the ministers of the court know that it is useless to say anything here, so everyone is silent.Unexpectedly, Jiarui is seated at the top today, and has no intention of retreating from the court. After waiting for a while, Qin Zhengqing, the little-known head of the Yuefu, came out, knelt on the ground, and shouted: "Chen Yuefu Qin Zhengqing, please forgive the emperor!" The Yuefu neglected its duties at the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven yesterday, and stopped listening to the music, which is really dishonest. As a result, Gu Shangshu, the Ministry of Rites, was punished, and I was terrified. As the head of the Yuefu, I can hardly absolve myself of the responsibility, and I hope that Your Majesty will severely punish it."

At this time, everyone's eyes in the temple were focused on Qin Zhengqing, who bowed to plead guilty. In fact, everyone in the court knew that Gu Tingxuan was killed for no reason yesterday, and there were many complaints in everyone's heart. The sudden anger did not dare to object.Now, although Qin Zhengqing didn't expressly say that Gu Tingxuan's death was wronged, he brought up the unclear incident of the killing, so at this time Jiarui Gaozuo hadn't spoken yet, and all the officials and workers below were whispering. Discuss.

If it is said that no one would care about Qinglian's dereliction of duty at the Yuefu yesterday, no matter who thinks of it, they will only be fascinated by the singing like the sound of nature, besides, yesterday's sacrifice ceremony to heaven is a unique grand event, how can they be guilty?In fact, many people were curious about who Gejue was yesterday, but when they heard that the empress dowager had killed the old minister Gu Tingxuan because of this matter, all the ministers were silent and dared not deal with the matter anymore. The mourning hall did not dare to go.

After this incident, Hui Min's impression in the hearts of the ministers was greatly reduced.In fact, I was driven by a woman, and many officials who were officially in office felt crooked in their hearts, but it was because of the situation and the emperor himself did not fight for it.Yesterday, the Empress Dowager Huimin and the king went up to the altar, which was seen by everyone. They served a rooster for the morning, without any patriarchal etiquette. This is an extremely presumptuous thing.No matter how unbearable the emperor was, it would not be his turn to stand shoulder to shoulder with a woman. Besides, in general ceremonies, the emperor or empress only needed to practice it personally, and the empress dowager could step in that turn.

Now the empress dowager beat Gu Tingxuan to death for no reason. He was a famous calligrapher all over the country. Although the grace is unpredictable, it is really worthless to die like this.Gu Tingxuan is usually very popular, and he will satisfy everyone who asks for advice or words, so his death now has become a reason for everyone to resent Huimin. Buried in the heart is more terrifying than bursting out.

Jia Rui sat on the dragon chairs that were not set aside, looked coldly at the chattering crowd below, with a sneer on his lips.It was really a good strategy to use four or two tricks. Jia Rui looked at Tong Yi who stood indifferently and quietly at the forefront of the military officer, knowing that he would never speak in the court.Jia Rui looked at all the civil and military ministers in front of him, they were all one-in-a-million pillars of the country, but in this dignified temple, there are now some people who are good at calculating, submissive or wise!

Express

Seeing that the subjects were almost talking, Jiarui coughed lightly twice, and there was a sudden silence in the court. Compared with the previous dispensable, most people in the court are now looking forward to the emperor's speech. How to handle this.Tong Yi raised his head to look at Jia Rui at this time, his eyes were full of consideration and hope.Tong Yi, who entered the palace today, has already learned that Jiarui visited Yan Weisi late at night last night. Although the rumors about Tong Jingyu and the emperor were a bit unpleasant to the ears of the palace people, Tong Yi knew that Jiarui would never sit back and watch Qinglian's affairs, even if There is another purpose behind the protection.

"Qin Aiqing, what is the crime of Yuefu? Please calm down quickly. No one has seen the grand occasion of the priests yesterday, so how can you apologize? Do you think so?" Jiarui spoke in a calm tone, and paused after finishing this sentence. Next, he glanced at the ministers who were whispering again.The ministers were all clear in their hearts. If Yuefu was guilty, it must be referring to the solo song in the sacrifice. But isn't such ethereal singing the best sacrifice to the gods?When looking at Liao at the end, everyone in Ren could see the soaring fire of Liaosuo, the red light soaring into the sky, and the crimson sky was reflected on the altar of Yuan Fang in the daytime. It's insignificant.

"Yesterday, there was a small dereliction of duty, but I don't think it's a big mistake, so Qin Aiqing, everyone in the Yuefu don't need to care about it. Cough cough, everyone in the Yuefu held a grand ceremony for offering sacrifices to heaven. In other words, no one can use this as a crime." Jia Rui looked at Tong Yi's unabashed gaze below, and said in his heart: You are satisfied now, no one can use this to make a crime, Qinglian will not He will be punished again for offering sacrifices to heaven.This is the imperial decree of the pilgrimage, and all the officials know it. It seems that even though Huimin is powerful, he dare not risk the disobedience of the world and openly disobey the imperial decree.In the meantime, Qinglian's fate should be arranged by you, but how are you going to repay me for openly rebelling against Huimin this time, Tong Yi!

Yuefu's crimes can be big or small. This time, under Tong Yi's instruction, Qin Zhengqing publicly confessed his guilt in the court, which made Huimin unable to make this an issue and framed him secretly.This can be regarded as Tong Yi's plan to kill two birds with one stone. One can test out the emperor's true attitude towards Qinglian, and the other is that even if Jiarui commits a crime, the entire Yuefu will suffer, and Qinglian will not be implicated.However, Jia Rui's reaction today made Tong Yi even more clingy. Maybe the emperor is really the only one who can compete with Hui Min.

"Hey, it's a pity that Gu Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites was convicted because of this..." Jia Rui seemed to be deeply saddened and said, "I know that the Empress Dowager also had no intentions, but I really can't bear Gu Tingxuan's death like this. Since it was the Empress Dowager who punished him, I can't do it again." I will add Gu Laowen's posthumous posthumous honor, but I can't bear the misery of a generation of calligraphers, so I should bury him with the ceremony of Shangshu, and list him as a servant for me."

Jia Rui's words were very sincere, which made those courtiers who were worried about Gu Tingxuan's death feel sad.What "the empress dowager has no intentions", "the empress dowager punishes the crime", Jiarui's words seem to have no way to mention such ordinary things, in the hearts of all the ministers, it is like a thorn stuck in the throat, making people extremely uncomfortable. When did the empress dowager have the power to kill courtiers!

"Chen Tong Yi, thank Your Majesty for your generosity and grace!" Not long after Jia Rui finished speaking, Tong Yi came out and knelt down to thank the emperor for his grace.Tong Yi knelt on the ground and remained motionless, responding upwards to his sincerity.In fact, it is most appropriate for Tong Yi to thank Jiarui for his kindness to Gu Tingxuan, because Tong Yi is Gu Tingxuan's son-in-law.It was only after Jiarui's wedding that General Tong Yitong, who was in charge of the Imperial Army and Gyeonggi's defense, began to support the Empress Dowager Huimin's assertion of power.However, Tong Yi, who hadn't played anything at the court meeting for a long time, now prostrated himself at the emperor's feet to thank him, and the people in the court seemed to understand his intentions.

There are smart people in the court. Yesterday Jia visited Tong Jingyu late at night, and I don’t know who gave it to him. Today, it has been widely circulated. In addition, it is well known that Jia Rui gave the sword to Tong Jingyu. Therefore, through today’s incident, everyone understands The emperor's mind.In fact, when Qinglian entered the palace, all the courtiers knew that it was the second son of the Tongfu, because after all, he was recruited into the palace by imperial decree.At the end of yesterday's ceremony, everyone didn't know that that person was Tong Qinglian, so everyone didn't know Tong Yi's true meaning of benevolence today, they only thought that Tong Yi was willing to surrender to the emperor, so everyone speculated in their hearts.

Jiarui and Tong Yi have reached a consensus, but after the end of the court meeting, the two did not move again, Tong Yi wholeheartedly insisted
