Chapter 979: A Familiar Scene
As Zuo Cheng of Zhongshu Province, Heyi was originally supposed to stand under the main hall and stand with hundreds of civil and military officials, but because of Zhu Feng's special situation now, he did not do so.
Instead, he stood on top of the main hall, behind the concubines.
Stand with the men of the inner chamberlain.
He looked around, and suddenly frowned, and immediately, a familiar figure walked up from behind the crowd, panting beside him.
"You're finally here."
Heyi said quietly: "I thought you would be angry and not participate in tomorrow's canonization ceremony." β
"Humph!"
Ye Zhen stood beside him and said with a displeased face: "Do you really want to come?" I'm still too busy at home. But today's big scene, how can I do it without me? β
"What's going on at home?"
Heyi turned his head to look at him suspiciously, and immediately found a few imperceptible scratches on that white face.
When he saw it, Ye Zhen immediately reached out and wiped his face a little uncomfortably.
"Is it still obvious? I can't see it. β
"Ran Xiaoyu caught it?"
Facing Shang Heyi's smiling eyes, Ye Zhen sighed helplessly and said, "She will do it when she is angry, what can I do?" I can't get it back. β
Heyi couldn't help laughing, but her expression was slowly solemn, and she said, "She already knows about the emperor's canonization of Concubine Ning today?" β
"I wanted to hide it from him, but the story has spread so much that I can't hide it."
"She's angry, isn't she?"
"Needless to say, who can not be angry after the change?"
Ran Xiaoyu and the concubine are not only masters and servants, but also sisters, and now the concubine has been robbed, and her life and death are unknown, but the emperor wants to canonize other women as Concubine Ning, and also hold a canonization ceremony with great fanfare.
Although they are all Zhu Feng's cronies, they should favor the emperor rather than the concubine, but in this matter, they do feel sorry for the concubine.
But the emperor's situation, they are also very clear.
It can only be said that God is playing tricks.
Heyi said: "Then how is Ran Xiaoyu now?" β
"There was a lot of trouble two days ago, and today I persuaded her for a long time, and finally quieted down, I asked her to stay in the house, and didn't let her come with her, so as not to be stimulated by watching this ceremony."
ββ¦β¦β
Heyi turned his head to look at him.
Ye Xu's heart was furious by his deep eyes, and asked, "What do you think I'm doing?" β
"......" Heyi was silent for a moment before he said again: "It's rare that Ran Xiaoyu will be so obedient." β
Ye Zhen also frowned slightly when he said this.
But at this time, he is not allowed to think too much.
As soon as she raised her head, Concubine Ning, who was wearing luxurious makeup, was already facing the north, bowing respectfully three times and nine times.
After this ceremony, the female official stepped forward and said loudly to the main hall: "Read the book." β
The scholar walked over and picked up Concubine Ning's canonization document from the table.
The emperor and empress stood side by side, watching the scene.
Suddenly, Xu Miaoyin felt Zhu Feng beside him shake slightly, he stretched out his hand to support his forehead, and let out a very low snort.
"Ugh."
"Your Majesty? What happened to the emperor? β
ββ¦β¦β
That familiar feeling is here again.
Zhu Feng couldn't say strange in his heart, but the ceremony had been held, so naturally there could be no mistakes, he only waved his hand lightly at Xu Miaoyin, and said in a low voice: "I'm fine." β
Xu Miaoyin glanced at him again.
This is the scholar unfolding the book and reading aloud: "Heaven and earth are smooth, and all things beginβ"
"Wait!"
A voice suddenly sounded from under the main hall, interrupting the reading.
The crowd was shocked again.
In fact, from entering the palace today to the present, everyone has a feeling that Concubine Ning's canonization ceremony is almost exactly the same as the canonization of the concubine.
For Concubine Ning, this is naturally a kind of meaning to catch up with and surpass the concubine.
But everything is too much the same.
Even when the scholar read the book, he was interrupted by the reading of this word.
Zhu Feng only felt a huge wave set off out of nowhere, hitting his head hard.
The tide broke into countless splashes.
And among these waves, it seems to reflect a person's face.
He frowned, trying to see clearly, but he couldn't see clearly, only felt a wave of dizziness, as if he was standing on the clouds, and he was about to fall down at any moment.
What a strange feeling.
But Concubine Ning on the other side didn't notice this, she just saw someone come forward to stop her, and immediately frowned.
I have long known that today's canonization will not be so smooth.
But as soon as she saw the person coming out below, her face turned ugly.
Liu Yueze.
A few days ago, he was appointed as the newly appointed head of the Criminal Department.
At the same time, he is also the uncle of the concubine and Gu Tingqiu's protΓ©gΓ©.
But these don't matter, more importantly, Qin Ruolan remembered that the case in which he framed King Wei with anti-poetry was handled by this person.
What is he going to do now?
Thinking of this, Qin Ruolan's face became ugly.
And Zhu Feng had already stepped forward and looked at the figure below condescendingly: "You-"
"Liu Yueze, the director of the Weichen Criminal Department, risked his life to speak."
"Risking death?"
Zhu Feng's brows tightened, and he said, "You disturb Concubine Ning's canonization ceremony, it is indeed a capital crime, what do you want to say?!" β
Everyone only looked at this white and gentle young man, stepped forward, held a dossier in his hand, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the Great Yan is dying, please ask the emperor to save the country at the moment of crisis." β
"What did you say?"
Not only did Zhu Feng's face sink when he heard this, but the people around him were also shocked.
Da Yan is dying?
Isn't this a curse on the dynasty, a curse on the emperor?
Does this person really not want to live anymore?
Zhu Feng's face turned pale, and he said in a deep voice: "You said that Da Yan is about to die, give me a reason, otherwise, I will cure you for the crime of bullying the king!" β
Facing him, Liu Yueze was fearless, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, since the founding of the Dayan Dynasty, the world has been governed by etiquette and the rule of law by the people, but today's emperor's actions are rude and lawless, and he treats etiquette and law as nothing. β
ββ¦β¦β
"The emperor has done this, the chaos in the world is just around the corner, and the fall of the Great Yan Dynasty is not also in the morning and night?"
Zhu Feng's brows furrowed even tighter: "What do you mean when you say that my actions today are rude and lawless?" β
Liu Yueze stretched out his hand and pointed at it and said loudly: "This woman is a criminal girl recorded by the Criminal Department, and her name has not been proven. β
ββ¦β¦β
"With such a person, how can the emperor be canonized as a concubine and set an example for the world."
Qin Ruolan's face suddenly turned pale.
Without waiting for any reaction from the people above, Liu Yueze said loudly: "Concubine Ning, at the end of the concubines, there is an example in my dynasty, except for the canonization of the queen and the concubine, a canonization ceremony must be held, and the canonization of the rest of the concubines cannot be held. β
ββ¦β¦β
"And the emperor canonized Concubine Ning today, and the form of the ceremony is no different from the canonization of the concubine."
ββ¦β¦β
"The one thing the emperor did today is a combination of 'rudeness' and 'lawlessness'!"
ββ¦β¦β
"Isn't this a sign of the country's demise?!"
His voice, word by word, sounded like thunder above the hall, and also exploded above everyone's heads, no one expected that a white-faced scholar who looked clear and even a little weak could say such thrilling words in front of Zhu Feng.
And Zhu Feng couldn't say a word.
Not only that, but he was asked.
What's more important is -
Chaise!
These two words, suddenly, sounded without any defense, and shocked his whole person in an instant.
Chaise...... Chaise......
If I felt the familiar feeling everywhere on this canonization hall before, like the impact of surging waves, then these two words are like ice edges and knives mixed with sea water.
One by one, it stabbed into his body, and even, into his brain.
Suddenly, a sharp pain struck.
Zhu Feng's face changed suddenly.
And the people around were also caught off guard when they heard the word "concubine", and they all showed a look of astonishment, Xu Miaoyin almost subconsciously turned her head to look at Zhu Feng.
Oops!
She hurriedly stretched out her hand to support Zhu Feng, and said softly: "Your Majesty, how are you, Your Majesty?" β
"Uh-"
Zhu Feng was speechless.
Chaise...... Chaise......
Someone kept shouting in his head, as if someone was constantly stabbing him with a knife in his head, and he was in terrible pain.
Qin Ruolan was also angry, and immediately pointed at Liu Yueze and said, "You, you are so bold!" β
ββ¦β¦β
"This palace canonizes the ceremony, how can you allow a small head of the criminal department to talk nonsense and break the rules of the ceremony. Someone, get him arrested! β
The guards around him hesitated for a moment.
Although they should obey orders, Concubine Ning has not yet been successfully canonized, and even if the canonization is successful, her status is indeed not to the point where she can command them.
The Emperor hasn't spoken yet.
And at this moment, a cool voice sounded next to him-
"Why be so alarmed?"
Qin Ruolan turned her head and saw that it was Concubine Kang Wu Yun standing in the crowd, looking at her with a sneer: "Concubine Ning...... Oh, it's not successful yet, it's too early for the palace. β
ββ¦β¦β
Qin Ruolan's brows were twisted into a pimple.
She couldn't help but think in her heart, could it be that Wu Wan and this surnamed Liu were all in one go?
Impossible, Liu Yueze must be from the concubine's side, Concubine Kang and the concubine were originally enemies, and it is impossible for the concubine to unite after the concubine was robbed.
She let out a deep breath: "What does Concubine Kang want to say?" β
Wu Yun said slowly: "This palace just thinks that the words of the head of the criminal department seem to be right. β
ββ¦β¦β
"No matter what etiquette, after all, you are still a sinner registered in the Criminal Department."
ββ¦β¦β
"Besides, this Lord Liu is discussing etiquette with the emperor."
ββ¦β¦β
"Every word he said, every sentence he said, is for the orthodoxy of our Great Yan Dynasty, the so-called punishment is not a doctor, and the courtesy is not a concubine, why do you want someone to pull him down? Is this a weakness of heart? β
