Zhao Junsheng slowly closed his eyes with two folds and two booklets, when Zhao Ping told him that Yuan Gao might be the biggest vested interest behind the Heluo corruption case, he didn't feel very surprised, and he was just a little surprised.

But what Zou Ruhai explained to Zhao Ping, and what Zhao Ping then reported to him was just the tip of the iceberg!

Because the waiting lawsuit is specifically responsible for monitoring officials, generals and relatives of the emperor, they have long been placed in Yuan Gao, Pan Chang'an, Zou Ruhai and others, and they know their every word and deed, every move, just because they are greedy for ink, illegal and discipline-violating things are not in their hands, and they are too lazy to care, in order not to leave some of them with a handle to cross the line, and not to arouse the emperor's suspicion, so they choose to ignore it, they only care about rebellion, rebellion, and collusion with the enemy.

The report sent by Wang Tanzhi was enough to make Yuan Gao and others suffer dozens of times, and this time Zhao Jun was surprisingly angry.

When Yuan Gao's family moved to Wuchuan Town, thinking of kinship, Zhao Junsheng arranged a position for him, on the one hand, because his mother-in-law Hua Yuan said, how can he, as a son-in-law, give his mother-in-law a little face; On the other hand, he also thought that it was better to have relatives to help him than to use outsiders, and there was such a layer of in-law relationship, so he should be more attentive than people who had nothing to do with him.

Later, he crowned the king, and his mother-in-law came to speak again, seeking errands for Yuan Gao, Zhao Junsheng was still hindered by his mother-in-law and Mulan's face, so he did the palace Zhan thing, Yuan Gao, the old man, also worked hard, but his two sons did not let people worry, since the founding of the country, Yuan Gao was promoted again, these two sons made trouble all day long, and twice they also made a human life, and they were sentenced to death according to the law, and it was Hua Yuan's mother-in-law who came to the door to intercede for the two uncles and nephews, and he had to use the emperor's privileges to amnesty.

I thought that I would let my relatives help them, and they should do their best than others, but I didn't think that this family not only didn't do their best to help, but also dug into the corners of the wall behind their backs, just thinking about fishing and stuffing it into their own pockets.

The content of the report sent by Wang Tanzhi not only made Zhao Junsheng angry, but if it was released, it would be appalling.

At this time, in the Imperial City Division, Zhao Ping had just checked the entire deployment of the security and defense of the concubine's canonization ceremony again, and a catcher walked in to report: "Your Highness, you asked your subordinates to secretly go to check the officials of the Ministry of Officials, Langzhong Yifulian, and the ministers have checked, this Yifu was introduced by Yuan Gao's eldest son Yuan Tan to worship under Yuan Gao's door, and was supported by Yuan Gao!" ”

Zhao Ping was extremely excited when he heard the news, it had been so many days, and he finally found a useful clue, he immediately ordered: "You immediately take someone to investigate Yifulian, don't alarm him for the time being, and secretly collect all the evidence of his crimes!" ”

"No!"

Before the head catcher went out, a small official walked in quickly and reported: "Your Highness, the father-in-law sent by His Majesty to announce the decree!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Taijuan Yuan Jian walked in with two forbidden army armor soldiers, bowed down with a smile and said, "The slave has seen His Highness!" ”

Zhao Ping raised his hand and said, "Gonggong Yuan doesn't need to be polite, I don't know what my father's will is?" ”

Yuan Lian's face was solemn and said, "Your Majesty's dictation!" ”

Zhao Ping, the head catcher and the little official immediately bowed.

"Tomorrow is the canonization ceremony of the noble concubine, let the Imperial City Division suspend all investigations into the Heluo corruption case, make every effort to deal with the safety of the entire ceremony, and let those silverfish who have not yet surfaced enjoy the joy of a grand ceremony one last time!"

Zhao Ping kowtowed: "Obey!" ”

Yuan Jian waited for Zhao Ping to get up and said with a smile: "Your Highness, since Your Majesty has already issued an edict, Your Highness must not act in secret without authorization, Your Majesty has Your Majesty's considerations, you can not do bad things with good intentions, the slave maid is all she says, the slave and maid will go to Your Majesty to serve, so leave first and say goodbye!" ”

Zhao Ping said: "Gonggong Yuan walks slowly!" ”

Soon after Yuan Jian left with the forbidden army armor, He Yong, who got the news, immediately rushed over, saluted and asked: "Your Highness, my subordinates heard that Your Majesty has issued a decree to suspend the investigation of Yuan Gao, Pan Changan, Zou Ruhai and others, what does this mean?" If you check it well, why did you suddenly issue an order not to let it be checked? ”

Zhao Ping was also puzzled, but he still remembered what Yuan Jian said before leaving, and he said to He Yong: "Father may consider that tomorrow will be the canonization ceremony of the concubine, thinking that we are under a lot of pressure, maybe not to let us be distracted, maybe because he doesn't want to make extraneous branches during the canonization ceremony!" You think, after all, Qu Liangbo is the uncle of this king, after all, it is my mother's own uncle, if he really catches the evidence of his crime in the past few days, a happy event that originally made everyone happy was messed up because of this bad thing, and no one will feel good! Lord He, if someone makes trouble when you get married, how would you feel? ”

He Yong was helpless, "Then I must even have the heart to kill!" Your Highness is right, let's stop? ”

"Stop for now!"

"No!"

In fact, Zhao Ping was still a little worried, but he didn't say it, that is, Yuan Gao has been in business for so many years, and no one knows how much power this old guy has in secret, in case they don't plan well and let this old man jump over the wall to launch a rebellion, it will be difficult to clean up.

Zhao Ping cleaned up his mood and shouted: "Come on, prepare the horse, this king is going to inspect the ceremony site!" ”

Imperial Palace, West Garden.

During this time, Wan Yutong has been living here, and Zhao Junsheng arranged a few eunuchs for him, but the maids around him were brought by himself.

On the dresser stood a large bronze mirror, and even though the bronze mirror was polished and smooth, only a less clear face could be seen.

There are a lot of jewelry in several boxes, all of which are a full set of jewelry specially designed for her in several jewelry for this canonization ceremony, a total of three sets, which are worn on the red carpet with dresses on three occasions, when participating in banquets, and when flowers and candles in the cave room.

The dress was designed and sewn by herself, all three sets, and she was a great expert in this area herself, so she was not at ease with handing it over to other tailors.

One maid combed Wan Yutong's hair, and the other maid put on the jewelry she had prepared one by one.

The concubine's dress has a prescribed standard, although the specifications are not as good as the queen, but except for the phoenix crown, there are not too many restrictions.

In particular, the jewelry provided by several jewelry stores can be said to have taken a lot of effort and blood, and when all the jewelry was put on, Wan Yutong's whole person looked beautiful and luxurious.

A woman in her twenties smiled and said, "My aunt herself is very beautiful, wearing this wedding dress and these jewelry, today she is even more glamorous!" ”

There was also an old man in his fifties next to him who kept rubbing his hands, and nodded again and again: "Today is the big day of Tongmei, as the saying goes, people are in good spirits when they are happy, Your Majesty will definitely feel amazing when he sees today's Tongmei, not bad!" ”

This elderly man is Wan Yutong's cousin Wan Ming, and the woman is her cousin Wan Lin.

In the past, when Wan Du returned to the world, the father of Wan Yu Tong, the two families still had some contacts, since Wan Du died, the two families broke off contact, until two years ago, Wan Ming heard that Wan Yu Tong was in Chang'an, and he came to restore contact.

Wan Yutong's mood is joyful, her face is always filled with a smile, she only has Wan Ming's brother in the world, or a cousin, the two have the same grandfather, belong to the family, if you go to the next generation, if she has a child, her child and Wan Ming's cousin's child belong to the distant cousin, and the blood relationship between the younger generations has passed three generations, which is very thin.

At this time, a eunuch outside the door walked in and reported: "Guifei Niangniang, the hour is almost up!" ”

Wan Yutong was already dressed at this time, got up and said, "Let's go!" ”

The eunuchs and palace maids were already lined up outside, Wan Yutong was surrounded by relatives and friends, and the eunuchs and palace maids immediately stepped forward to take over, and relatives and friends could only follow behind.

There were eunuchs and palace maids along the way, and Wan Yutong's arrival made them bow down one after another.

Approaching the Taiji Palace, the solemn and majestic sound of drum music was heard, Wan Yutong and Zhao Junsheng converged at the back of the Taiji Palace, and the two of them each brought some eunuchs and palace maids.

A ceremonial official said to the two: "The hour has come, now please Your Majesty bypass the Taiji Hall from the left to the front, and please ask the concubine Niangniang to bypass the Taiji Hall from the right to the front and meet in front of the Taiji Palace!" ”

Both of them are dressed in costumes, Zhao Junsheng also wears a jade crown, usually does not wear a jade crown, only wears a jade crown on major celebrations, and the two of them walked to the front of the main hall from the side of the Taiji Hall according to the arrangement of the ceremonial officials.

The square in front of the Taiji Hall is already crowded with people, there are many people but not chaotic, orderly, and the phalanx is neat and tidy.

At the front is a phalanx of court ministers, generals, and officials, and these phalanxes are divided into official titles, the higher the official title, the closer to the emperor, and vice versa.

After ministers, generals, and officials were scholars, samurai, and other celebrities, that is, people with outstanding achievements and fame in the fields of academics, literature, calligraphy and painting, charity, and martial arts.

Then there are the representatives of the landlords, who are good farmers, have high grain production, and sell more grain every year.

There are also many representatives of craftsmen, these are people with superb skills in various crafts, they not only have superb skills, but also bring out many apprentices, carry forward their skills.

Finally, there are the representatives of the merchants, whose status in society is at the bottom, so although they are rich, they are looked down upon by others, and they are all eager to improve their status.

As Zhao Junsheng and Wan Yutong came together and appeared in front of the Taiji Palace, everyone bowed down.

Zhao Junsheng raised his hand, and the eunuch next to him shouted: "Your Majesty has a will, and all the ministers are flat!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone gets up.

The ceremonial officer shouted: "The ceremony has officially begun, and the edict of canonization is read!" ”

At the suggestion of Zhao Junsheng, Kang Yide picked up the canonization edict and read it, and said it freely, first praising Wan Yutong for how virtuous and virtuous, how beautiful, how gentle his temperament, how his morality is, and how his sentiment is, and how he and Wan Yutong are in love, so he accepted him as a concubine, hoping that she would assist Mulan in taking care of the inner palace in the future, and the sisters should respect each other like guests, and finally said that she was canonized as a concubine.

In Daqian, because Zhao Junsheng had no experience of accepting concubines before, and the imperial court did not have rules and regulations in this regard, in theory, the status of the concubine was second only to the queen.

Why is it said to be a concubine instead of a concubine? This illustrates the problem, the folk all say that when a wife is married, the wife is married, and the concubine is brought in, and the degree of attention is completely different.

Of course, this is due to the current social environment, in fact, in Zhao Junsheng's heart, Wan Yutong's status is not much worse than Mulan.
