Chapter 134: Used to be difficult

This time the celestial dynasty settled the west, and the power of the country was far-reaching. All the countries from all over the world sent envoys to congratulate, and envoys from various countries gathered in the heaven to visit the pilgrimage.
Emperor Hao issued an edict and canonized Wantu Shuofeng as Rouran Khan, and Chilang Lunzan as King of Guiyi. In the mid-autumn of August, Nangong Jing and Tang early class members returned to the dynasty and gave a banquet to Xuansheng Palace to celebrate the dynasty.
The Palace of Chengming, the hall is nine feet high, the jade steps are covered with jade, and the eaves are in the clouds. It is built on the shaking light platform in the Taixiao Lake. It is surrounded by clouds and mists. Twenty-four exquisite floating jade bridges run through the shore. In addition, Fudaofei Pavilion connects various palaces. Looking from a distance, the ladies of the palace circled their temples with light clothes, walked around with promises, Lingbo walked slightly, silky bamboos and ethereal, like a fairy palace in Yaochi.
At the beginning of Chen Shi, the prince, the emperor, the civil and military ministers entered the palace and waited to drive. The greetings and greetings before the corridor of the hall were clearly two factions. On one side are Qin Guogong, Changding Hou, Feng Yan, Yin Jianzheng, and other old officials and clansmen, and on the other side are rising stars and camaraderie generals such as Du Junshu, Lu Qian, Si Weiyun, Nangong Jing, Tang Chu, etc. It is also a fierce confrontation between these two factions.
The stability of Tubo and the great victory in the war made the young and strong factions in the DPRK proud. In this triumphant victory of Nangong Jing and early Tang, they were awarded the titles of General Hussar and General of Fujun, and entered the center.
The low-ranking generals suddenly rose up and their wings became more abundant, as if they were going to stand up against the nobles. When they met in front of the hall, they inevitably brought some swords and swords with their hands and laughed, faintly floating.
However, there was a person who had never entered the hall at this time, standing outside the two courtiers, in front of the white marble fence, with his hand facing the misty Mingchi and clear water, a bright smile on the beautiful face of Fengshen, wide sleeves fluttering, there was something The smell of dust and loneliness.
But it is King Cham, neither close nor close, nor too hot, he is clearly in the game, and he looks like King Cham who is out of business. Feng Yan looked at the figure through the Huazhu Feiyan and narrowed his eyes, wrinkles in the corners of his eyes made deep thoughts.
If it is said that there was some confusion in the past two years, then this year, probably everyone has seen it clearly, that the deficit check that led to the alternate replacement of old and new officials in North Korea and China, Hao Di is not arbitrarily arbitrarily, and is really helping him. It is King Cham. It was King Zhan who overthrew the Wei family, King Zhan who replaced the state's military and political leaders, and King Zhan who replaced Fengying Treasury. It was also King Zhan who suppressed the Feng family everywhere in the court. This is clearly a seamless cooperation between the front and the back of the stage, which counts the Manchu civil and military affairs.
The figure standing on the Qiongtai of the Guangdian suddenly gave Feng a shuddering feeling, just like the moment when Emperor Hao ascended the throne on the Taiji Hall a few years ago, raising his sleeves and keeping his ministers flat, and overlooking the world, his arrogant eyes Let him have this feeling, that is, like facing the abyss.
Feng Yan frowned secretly, and suddenly heard Yin Jianzheng sigh next to him, and he was also looking back from King Zhan.
Facing Feng Yan who suddenly appeared, Jianzheng Yin greeted Yan uncharacteristically: "Feng Xiang."
Feng Yan's old eyebrows moved slightly, his eyes flashed with complicated expressions, but he smiled: "On the day of Jieqing, why did Yin Xiang sigh? Could it be that he suddenly felt a sense of grief?"
This was quite ridiculous, and Jian Yin asked, "The autumn wind is gradually rising, is Feng Xiang's heart sad?"
The smile on Feng Yan's face slightly closed: "Yin Xiang has been worried about it."
Yin Jianzheng raised his eyes to look at him: "Then Su Yi and Du Junshu make up the school, and Si Weiyun has been promoted to the post of Zhongshu servant for some time. How does Feng Xiang feel?"
After Wei Zongping was dismissed and demoted, the scholar Su Yi and the Guanglu doctor Du Junshu jointly took over as the servants, and since then, the old rule of Zhongshu and the two provinces of the two provinces has been restored. The three provinces of the celestial dynasty are paralleled, which is equivalent to the invisibly dividing the power of the prime minister. Although the Zhongshu Province has not really added the Zhongshu Order, it has transferred a Si Weiyun to serve as the minister, which is no different from the division of power. This incident has had a big impact on the Feng family and the Yin family, but the two families are still opposed to each other as before. Feng Yan snorted coldly when he heard the words: "Yin Xiang is in it, so why bother to ask me? If you don't empathize with you, why should you look forward to the wind and sad autumn?"
Yin Jianzheng said: "Haha, Feng Xiang said it well. The old lady just thought of Wei Zongping. It was indeed a momentary emotion, but Feng Xiang seemed to have no such worries."
Feng Yan's expression was quite conceited: "I'm worried about each other. If everything is not the same, how can it be the same?"
Yin Jianzheng understood that Feng Yan was referring to the queen of the Feng family, and he didn't say much, but said slowly: "This celestial dynasty is surnamed Ye!"
Feng Yan's heart was shocked by this and Wei Zong's words. At this time, he heard that Zhong Qing was playing and Jiu Shao began to play. When the voice of the servant announces the driving, the canopy in the distance is far away, and the honor is clear. After the Wuming golden fan, the holy driver is here.
Feng Yan and Yin Jianzheng interrupted their conversation, and quickly cleaned up their appearances, and bowed down with the princes and hundreds of officials to welcome the holy driver.
But for a moment, I saw the emperor bringing the queen into the hall, and the mysterious sleeves flying between the dragon and tiger's steps, the solemn expression of the king's majesty, proud and unobservable. The queen smiled and walked slowly, with a phoenix crown with clouds on the temples, a jade ribbon belt, and a hundred-foot embroidered golden robe draped behind her, showing her graceful appearance. The two walked side by side, crossed the jade steps, and climbed the Mingtai, seeming to float from the sky in the clouds, the gods and the relatives, the graceful and graceful, can not help but be fascinating.
"Long live my emperor!"
In the voice of the mountain, all the officials bowed down, and the jade crowned Zhu Ying and Wusha gold hairpin descended from the sides of the two corridors. The emperor raised his hand slightly, and the attendant announced the decree to waive the ceremony, and the officials worshipped again, thanking En flat.
King Zhan raised his eyes and looked, and his eyes suddenly lighted up across the golden jade curtain.
Qing Chen turned around behind the dazzling and exquisite curtains, the faint smile under the makeup of Minghua Palace, reflected in the squishy phoenix eyes of the autumn water, as if the scorching autumn sun sprinkled a thousand hectares of Taixiao Lake, clear The waves are dazzling and dazzling, making the splendor of this magnificent hall completely lost. Liujin Yunshang accompanies the side of Longgang’s mysterious robe, reflecting the same brilliance. This slow smile makes the emperor’s cold jade-like face a bit of warmth. When King Zhan returns, the emperor has already stepped. Before arriving at the Jinlong Imperial Case, Han Xiao took the Queen's hand and personally led her to the Fengxiang Qingyu Case on the left, seated side by side, and then smiled: "The princes are seated flat, no formality."
The ministers were used to seeing the emperor's emotions and anger, and rarely saw him smile like this, and they knew that he was in a very good mood today. After this battle, the celestial dynasty was prosperous. After a long period of brewing and backlog, the spirit of ZTE finally became the atmosphere, with the mighty four domains sweeping away the world. The hardships of the past few years have turned into excitement in the chest, which has made people happy. Ye Tianling looked around at His Highness, feeling touched, his eyes fell on King Zhan, but the smile in his eyes suddenly eased.
After the Kylin Gold case, King Zhan was staring at Qing Chen with a bright smile, his mind focused. He seemed to feel Ye Tianling's glance and raised his head slightly, but Ye Tianling had turned to look at Qing Chen. Qing Chen looked back from King Zhan and smiled at Ye Tian Ling Yan.
She cuts water with double pupils, jade-colored streamers, and the clarity is charming, clear and bright, and she is full of joy like illusion. Ye Tianling raised her eyebrows lightly, and responded with a smile. Then he turned his head to look at King Zhan. King Zhan never avoided any of them. He smiled gently and admired it without concealment. Then he got up and led the civil and military officials to raise wine to congratulate him.
Ye Tianling looked around the ministers, intentionally or unconsciously, raised a toast to King Zhan alone. King Zhan happily responded, and each smiled as he looked at each other.
After the three congratulations, the dance of "Shao Jian" was performed in front of the hall. After the dance, the envoys from Fanbang met in turn under the guidance of officials from Honghe Temple.
Sitting beside Ye Tian Ling, Qing Chen admired the costumes and behaviors of the envoys of various countries with interest. When the Tubo envoy came forward, she paid special attention to the fact that Tubo was forced to become a minister after being defeated in the war. The envoy was a little emboldened in Tiandu, but she did not know what to say.
But seeing that the messenger performed the ceremony of three kneelings and nine knocks in accordance with the etiquette of the celestial dynasty, and after a decent speech in praise of the celestial dynasty, he pressed his hands on his chest and bent down and bowed deeply: "... Tubo is not self-reliant and offends Tianwei, my king cannot regret it. Therefore, I am determined to rehabilitate the old dynasty with the celestial dynasty, so I send my ministers to the dynasty, in addition to paying the double-year-old tribute, I am willing to marry Princess Zhuoya to enter the heavenly capital in the east.
Tubo's move is not surprising. The Rouran people are growing day by day in the northwest. Wantong Shuofeng is ambitious, and the peace with Tubo may not last long. Wan Tuo Shuofeng and Hao Di are related to their mothers and friends. Both parties take what they need, and the relationship is stable. He has the support of the Chinese dynasty, so that Tubo will suffer from the enemy. Tubo must restore its current disadvantages and repair the relationship with the Chinese dynasty. The only way is It's getting married.
Before that, two princesses Huayao and Jingsheng were married to Tubo in the Celestial Dynasty, and two princesses married to the children of the royal family in Tubo. Now Chilang Lunzan offered to make a marriage proposal, and he married his younger sister, Princess Zhuoya, the biological daughter of Princess Jingsheng. This is to try his best to close the relationship with the Tian Dynasty to fight against Rouran.
On the throne, Ye Tianling smiled slightly, and Tubo wanted to guard against it, but the northwest could not be without Tubo, especially not only soft but not Tubo. Of course, he would not refuse the goodwill of Chilang Lunzan.
"The heavenly dynasty and Tubo have long been married, and it will be more beautiful to get married. I am allowed to please. Qin Guogong, can there be a suitable child in the clan to marry Princess Zhuoya?"
Qin Guogong, who was also the imperial secretary Zhengqing, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a proposal on this matter."
"Do you have any suggestions?"
Qin Guogong's white beard hung on his chest, solemnly and solemnly: "Although Tubo has violated the Shengwei this time, I hope to send the princess and his relatives, which shows his sincerity. Your majesty's harem has been vacant for a long time, and the four concubines and nine concubines are all in vain. Princess Zhuoya is a concubine, not only has Tubo's wish for peace and marriage, but also placed the harem for peace."
Ye Tianling's eyes sank slightly when he heard the words, but the corners of her thin lips still seemed to be smiling, and she turned her head and said, "Qin Guogong's discussion, what does the queen think?"
Do you think so? Qing Chen glanced at him, this person is really in good spirits today, and if he changes to normal, he is afraid that he will get cold soon. Prior to this, Qin Guogong had mentioned the selection of a concubine many times, and she was too lazy to listen to such words. He asked her to ignore it, so she ignored it. In short, with his protection, she is self-willed, and can be regarded as nothing, whether jealous or unethical, she doesn't care, he does his own way, no matter what others criticize.
At this time, I asked her what she was thinking, Qing Chen's eyes rolled, and he plunged into his bottomless smile. The sharpness in the smile hits people's hearts, like a sword, it will grow out a long sheath, the cold air is already empty, and the eyes are familiar. She raised her eyebrows, put down the jade cup in her hand, and asked Qin Guogong with a smile: "Qin Guogong has read "The Wonders of the Nations" by King Hao?"
Qin Guogong was slightly startled, wondering how the queen asked about this, and replied truthfully: "The minister has read it."
Qing Chen said slowly: "The sixth volume of "The Wonders of the World", the Tubo Kingdom has mentioned that there is a custom in the Tubo country, and the marriage between men and women is based on blood relations, which is called the'bone line'. Outside the five elements." She turned her head and asked King Hao: "Master, do I remember wrong?"
In the past years, Qing Chen memorized the manuscripts in Songyutai, and the scene of tactfully advising the Emperor of Heaven is still fresh in his memory. Wang Hao smiled lightly and stood up and said: "There is indeed a matter of fact, there is a copy of the "Seven Good Karma Ceremonies for Choosing a Spouse" in Tubo. According to this book, all Tubo men and women with patrilineal blood are not allowed to marry, and those with matrilineal blood must marry outside the five lines. Otherwise, the intermarried people will turn black and bring disasters to themselves and their tribe, especially their children. They are all stupid and weird babies, and they have been cursed by gods for generations."
Qing Chen nodded and said quietly: "The prince is really knowledgeable and familiar with the customs of various countries. Qin Guogong may have forgotten that Princess Zhuoya's mother, Princess Jingsheng, is the daughter of Princess Yunhuang, and Princess Yunhuang is The cousin of the first emperor was a generation away from the emperor, but still within the five lines. According to Tubo custom, the emperor and Princess Zhuoya are close relatives, and their marriage is ominous."
In the words, the princesses, the clan relatives, and Qin Guogong is in charge of the emperor's clan. Regardless of whether it is right or not, the meaning is already very clear, the queen is refuting the court, and Princess Zhuoya is not allowed to enter the palace as her concubine.
Qin Guogong was dissatisfied, and his tone was tough: "My celestial dynasty is vast, with a turbulent population. There has never been a saying that cousins ​​and cousins ​​cannot marry. Even in the royal family, there was also Princess Hou Shanghuayu of Fuyuan who kissed him. There is nothing wrong with your Majesty Princess Nazhuya as a concubine."
Qing Chen said: "Princess Shanghuayu, Hou Fuyuan, the princess has three sons in succession, all of whom died in her infancy, and she died in sorrow and early death. Is this a happy marriage?"
"But Princess Huayu has several concubines for the Fuyuan Hou. It is a virtuous person to have children and daughters." Qin Guogong has a short temper. As everyone knows, at this time, he relied on his own wealth and hopes, relying on the old to sell the old, even the queen was not very concerned.
Qing Chen's phoenix eyes swept lightly, her face was elegant and gentle, but she categorically said: "Even though Tubo is a country of my dynasty, we should respect their customs. There is no need to mention the matter of Princess Zhuoya as a concubine. Choose a child from the imperial family and marry the princess."
She again rejected Qin Guogong's proposal, and there was no room for negotiation. Ye Tianling didn't laugh, and gently played with the dragon-carved jade lamp between his slender fingers, his deep gaze fixed on Qin Guogong, and he had also seen Chang Dinghou and other old officials along the way. Of course, Feng Yan had not been missed. Now that's still in front of you, that's all. He slowly sat upright, and the ice color in the cup was clear, reflecting a cold and sharp luster.
After hearing the words of the queen, Qin Guogong raised his head and replied hardly: "As far as the minister knows, there is no very suitable person in the royal family."
The queen smiled, her smile faintly calm and cool: "According to this, if the emperor doesn't recognize Princess Zhuoya as his concubine, I am going to give the Tubo good intentions of marriage?"
"The empress is not bad." As soon as Qin Guogong raised his head, he saw the queen smile back and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty has agreed to Tubo's request for peace, and he should not break his words. But there are taboos in Tubo customs, and there is a mourning for Princess Huayu. Princess Zhuoya should not enter the palace as a concubine because of the pain of the son. Since Qin Guogong can't find someone to marry him, his concubines have a way to get the best of both worlds."
The corner of the emperor's lips smiled faintly: "But the queen said it's okay."
The light and shadow of the jade curtain swayed thinly, and the soft side face of the person behind the curtain was sprinkled, and a clear gaze penetrated the crystal light color. The queen was condescending and watched Qin Guogong: "Princess Zhuoya has siblings with the emperor, and it is not suitable for marriage. If you wish to come from the east, you can be named the eldest princess and treat her kindly. It is known that the princess Yiguang, the granddaughter of Qin Guogong, has outstanding talents and virtuous qualities, and no one in the clan can match her to the title of princess. To become a relative of the two countries and alliance."
Understatement, with a few words, Qin Guogong suddenly changed his face, doubting that he had misheard. Shocked and raised her head, she saw Xiuwen behind the bead curtain, her appearance calm and calm, and the emperor's unwavering voice came from beside him: "Quan play."
The two short words determine that a woman who wants to leave Tiandu and marry away from Tubo may not be able to return to her homeland for the rest of her life. Since then, there are thousands of waters and mountains, and the relatives are separated from each other, even though there is the glory of the princess, it is thousands of miles of flying sand, thousands of miles of desolation, life and death.
The gaze coming from the hall was deep and cold, and Qin Guogong was shocked and angry, and his whole body trembled. Only then did he understand, the queen, or to be more precise, Emperor Hao, this is a shock to the mountain, warning these veterans who must point fingers at everything from internal affairs to external wars, and even harem matters, his tolerance ends here.
Those who follow prosper, those who oppose perish, this is imperial power.
His Royal Highness officials have not yet awakened from the shock, but they heard the voice of King Zhan Runlang: "Qin Guogong divides the worries of the king, loyalty is precious, and the princess of Yiguang marries as a princess. The ministers thought that Guogong Qin could be crowned the majesty in honor of honor. Grace."
The emperor said indifferently: "King Zhan's words are extremely true, so I will play them accordingly. According to my decrees, Qin Guogong will be added as Taigong, and the princess Feng Yiguang will be the princess, choosing a day and pro-Tubo."
Although the title of Taigong is honorable, he has no real power, which is equivalent to completely empting the Qin Guogong, who was originally important in the dynasty, and the officials at this moment have already realized the meaning of some rain. Once the emperor and the courtier, the Emperor Hao's methods have been fully understood in the past few years, and now with a soft outside and strong inside, he has changed his face unknowingly. Everyone seemed to be in warm water that was warming up quietly. When they really realized it, it was the last time the water boiled and they were powerless to struggle.
"Your Majesty!" Qin Guogong attended and knelt to the stage, "Chen..."
"Does Qin Guogong have any objections?" asked after the imperial case, very cold.
"The minister leads the decree to thank you!" Qin Guogong could not disobey the imperial decree, but he was full of horror. An old face rose purple and his hands trembled. Even if Princess Zhuoya can't enter the palace, your majesty should choose a virtuous woman to be a concubine, and the sixth palace will be the blessing of the community!"
This remark clearly alluded to the empress's failure of virtue, and Wang Zhan's long and handsome eyebrows moved imperceptibly, and he could not help but raise his eyes to look at Qing Chen. Qing Chen sat quietly beside Ye Tianling, and the faint smile on her lips was not only undiminished, but vaguely deepened. There was no sorrow and joy at the bottom of the eyes, just a deep silence, and the palace lanterns and shadows were gathered like a secluded lake, and it was clear and boundless. When King Zhan's eyes were inadvertently touched, a layer of fine lines was faintly dizzy.
He looked at her with a tender expression of pity, and seemed to be asking her if he could not give it a long time ago, can that person give it to her now? However, his gaze was not aggressive, it only made Qing Chen feel warm for no reason.
Qing Chen smiled faintly, then listened to Ye Tianling's words: "My harem's family affairs are on their own, so I don't have to worry about Qin Guogong, so I don't need to mention this."
Qin Guogong insisted: "The family affairs of the emperor should be the same as the affairs of the state. How dare ministers not worry about your majesty? His majesty has been in the throne for several years, and the country has no heirs, and the country has no roots. Why should you trust him? The country is the most important thing, listen to the opinions of the public, and don't go it alone!"
The emperor has no heir, what will happen to the country! Qing Chen suddenly raised his eyes, his eyes pierced Qin Guogong, and his Highness suddenly died quietly.
Everybody knows that some courtiers had raised the issue of the emperor's heir in the court before, which caused the emperor to be unhappy. After that, no one dared to discuss the matter again in the court. Only Qin Guogong and a few veteran ministers blindly showed their advice, but All were left in the middle and not posted. Qing Chen's heart was stunned. The memorabilia that Ye Tianling didn't let her see were not just advice from the concubine. He didn't want her to see them because he was afraid of touching her heart.
Qin Guogong’s words are like dense needles rubbing into his heart, flowing clouds and wide sleeves hanging down, Qing Chen’s slender fingers tightly clasp the relief next to the phoenix seat, his knuckles are pale, and his face is still smiling, but The gaze was like ice and snow, gradually cold.
The feeling of suffocation is like being slowly pressed into the water, the deeper it sinks, the deeper it gets, the deeper it gets colder, and it is clear that he can break free, but he is discouraged and unable to move.
At this time, Ye Tianling's voice suddenly sounded coldly in the hall: "I am still here, so you are anxious to consider the prince, hoping that I will give up this seat soon so that you can feel at ease?"
This is extremely heavy. The Manchu civil and military were shocked and sweated all over. Qin Guogong was speechless, and hurriedly bowed his head: "Chen...Chen didn't mean this, he dare not!"
"Huh!" Ye Tianling snorted coldly, "Don't you dare? I think that according to what you said, Jiangshan Sheji is going to be destroyed in my hands." Qin Guogong was frightened and did not dare to say any more. His Royal Highness left and right two halted clothes. , The officials left their seats one after another, knelt aside, and pressed down to the outer hall, full of brocade clothes and hats. In the quiet palace of the dead zone, only Qin Guogong breathed heavily, and he seemed to be overwhelmed, and he would be choked in his throat at any time.
The brilliant golden jade glazed lamp turned a touch of ups and downs in front of the imperial case, and Ye Tianling's knife-like stalwart silhouette was trapped in it. The joy and anger were difficult to distinguish. Only the arrogant golden dragon flying above the mysterious robe was not angry and prestigious. Forcing people.
"I tell you today that even if I have no children, I have brothers and younger brothers. Both brothers have sons and daughters. They are all of the blood of the Ye family. My celestial dynasty is long, and the country will not die. From now on, Ruo Someone mentions the words concubine and heir again as a conspiracy theory!"
With a loud voice, the unprecedented decision not only stunned the officials, but also caused Qing Chen to suffer thunder. He actually came back to protect her so far, Qing Chen looked at Ye Tianling's jade-like side face in a maddening manner, a raging warm romance passed over her heart, straight into her eyes. She hurriedly raised her eyelashes and raised her head proudly. What remained in the eyes of the ministers was a high smile.
