At this time, in Xie's house, Xie Qian's sedan chair had already been prepared, and early in the morning, this important minister of the court had already got into the sedan chair and set off for the palace. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, the Xie family is always brightly lit, but in the back house, it is still dark.
In the attic deep in the back house, a small lamp was suddenly lit in the dark attic, and when the window was pushed, the rain was beating, but on the edge of this small window, it was a delicate face, with the same sorrow on her face as the weather, her eyes were like stars, through the ghostly light, looking at the pale red halo of the lantern in front of the Xie family, a group of early servants hugged the sedan chair, and slowly went in the direction of the Forbidden City.
Wang Jingchu leaned on the edge of the window and withdrew his gaze.
There was a figure lingering in her mind, so she sat down, and a maidservant added a bowl of lotus seed soup to her, and said: "Miss, you haven't slept all night, hurry up and rest, Ye Gongzi Jiren has his own natural appearance, and he will definitely be fine." ”
Wang Jingchu pursed her lips and smiled, but this smile couldn't hide the worry in the depths of her eyes, she opened her lips and said, "Well, you went to rest earlier, I'...... Wait a minute. ”、
She sat curled up, eating lotus seed soup, chewing slowly, her eyes lowered, her eyes seemed to be looking at the silver soup in the bowl, listening to the rustle of the rain outside, and she lost her mind for a while.
…………
The weather gradually cleared, the sky turned white, and a fast horse seemed to pierce the calm of the morning after the rain.
Da Da ......
The horses stopped in front of a small courtyard, a remote courtyard in the inner city, which looked very shabby, and could even be described as dilapidated.
The man on horseback turned over and dismounted, tied the rope to the stake in front of the wood door, he was dressed in a fish suit, burly, with a soft Fan Yang hat on his head, when he stretched out his hand to push the door, the brim of the hat was slightly raised, revealing a rough face, not Qian Qian, who was it?
Qian Qian pushed the door in, and shouted in his mouth: "Old Deng, old Deng, damn it, what are you still rubbing, the fire is burning your ass, are you still going to the court?" Hell yes, it's time for you to appear today, why are you grinding like this, Spring and Autumn are all up to you. ”
Deng Jian had already put on a black gauze hat, put on an official uniform, and was dressed brightly, at this time he was squatting under the eaves and eating rice porridge and eating his nest head, he raised his eyes and glanced at Qian Qian, and muttered: "Wait a minute, I haven't filled my stomach yet, don't worry, the noon door didn't open so quickly, what are you anxious about?" ”
Qian Qian stomped his feet angrily: "Why aren't you in a hurry, haven't you heard the news?" Spring and Autumn is going to suffer, this is a big crime of raiding the family and destroying the clan, if it is ...... to people"
Deng Jian shook his head and said, "Hey, that's why you are a rough person...... What do you know, although there are black sheep in the court, isn't there still loyalty? There are loyal and good people in the court, what are you afraid of? ”
Qian Qian said angrily: "If there is loyalty, how can this world be like this? You see, you say every day that you are loyal and good, but I see that the people are not hungry and clothed. ”
Deng Jian was angry, put down his nest head, and said angrily: "What...... How can it be so serious, although the son is not very holy today, but he also loves the people, let's stop it, and then I will reason with you after I finish eating this nest. ”
Finally pulled Deng Jian out of the door, Qian Qian let him ride a horse, led by himself, Qian Qian repeatedly instructed: "This thing is not a joke, this Spring and Autumn Festival and we are all all the way south, we must always take care of each other, oh, a few days ago, the great monk of Guangji Temple told me, saying that I hit a nobleman, this nobleman is Wenqu Xing, I have carefully pondered, this official, not only depends on money, but also on luck, this fortune is the most important ......"
"What? You also make money...... To whom did you give the money? Deng Jian, who felt that his stomach was still a little empty while riding on the horse, rubbed his stomach, his eyes narrowed, and the instinct of the imperial history made him sense something.
Qian Qian, who was suddenly alerted, was busy and kept silent and stopped talking.
…………
The noon gate has been opened, and hundreds of officials have entered.
After the rain, it was sunny, but the ground was still wet, the official boots under his feet were already wet, the bells and drums on the city tower, and Liu Jian, led by him, had a heavy face, leading the hundred officials to the Baohe Palace.
Everyone stood in shifts, and there was no sound in the hall.
Ye Chunqiu stood in the crowd, looking very inconspicuous, but there were still many people secretly looking at him.
He seemed to be very calm in his heart, but his eyes kept falling on Bachelor Zhu who was not far away.
Jiao Huangzhong did not come today, and he is still detained in the Ministry of Rites.
But when Master Zhu entered the hall, Ye Chunqiu had been noticing him, Ye Chunqiu really hated this person to the bone, but at this time he was silent, and only hid this murderous intent in his heart.
Zhu Dehai seemed to sense a malicious gaze, so he glanced back, saw Ye Chunqiu, smiled slightly, and looked disapproving.
At this time, Liu Jin slowly entered the hall, holding the dust in his hand, and said loudly: "Your Majesty is sick, and today's court discussion, please discuss the government on your own." Someone came and gave a few old ministers who were old and virtuous to sit. ”
This is all the old rules, the so-called old and virtuous, not really let the old people sit, there are not many people who can sit here, only a few elders, and the books of various departments.
So a little eunuch moved the Jindun, the cabinet ministers and the halls sat down in a clear way, and the eunuch poured a cup of tea for each person, Liu Jian, who was a scholar of the first auxiliary university, took the tea cup and did not drink it, but just sat leisurely.
Under him, it was Li Dongyang, Li Dongyang lowered his head and opened the tea lid and blew the tea foam in the tea, as if he had nothing to do with the matter in front of him.
And then down, it was Xie Qian, Xie Qian stared, looked at Jiao Fangren and others opposite, and remained silent.
The rest of the people sitting on the side were Zhao Yang and other Shangshu, each of them had different expressions, but they all seemed to have been discussed, showing unusual calmness.
On the opposite side of them, Jiao Fang, Zhang Cairen, etc., Liu Jin also stood on Jiao Fang's side with a smile.
Jiao Fang didn't care about Xie Qian's gaze, she seemed indifferent, and seemed to have no concern about her son's life or death at all.
Zhang Cai had a smile on his face, and the corner of his eye glanced at His Highness's ministers, not knowing what he was thinking.
Liu Jin stiffened his face, and his eyes looked back and forth, but the smile that appeared on the corner of his mouth made people feel cold.
No one spoke, and the needles in the hall could be heard, and these princes, who were usually supposed to stand up and preside over the court meeting, were now silent one by one.
It's just that everyone looks like they're all in a hurry, and they don't care about it.
But...... The silence was finally broken.
Someone slowly left the class, arrived in the hall, and said, "The lower officials have something to play." ”
