Everyone was trembling, and their upper and lower teeth were banging. It sounded like music had begun... but the rhythm was wrong.
"Two princes, we are only going back and forth once to explore half a stick of incense. We just reported that Prince Xuanping and the others are still ten miles away. How come it takes half an hour to get here? Let's go to the reed shed and wait. It won't be too late to come out when they arrive." Wu Zicheng's face turned pale from the cold, and he was trembling even as he spoke.
"Yes, you two princes, if the weather is warm, there's nothing wrong with waiting a little longer, but it's so cold and freezing, and it won't look good if everyone has runny noses from the cold!" Wu Zhongze said. .
A group of officials huddled their necks, huffed and stomped their feet and nodded. They all said this was the best. Damn it, the weather was really too cold. It didn’t matter if we got cold. The main reason was that we were afraid of freezing the two princes. That's not good either.
"Prince Xuanping fought bloody battles on the front line, regardless of life and death. That was a great hardship. What does it mean for us to stay here in the cold for a while?" Li Shidao, "The emperor said that this ceremony must be grand, then Naturally, we have to show sincerity, but we can’t be negligent in the slightest... just bear with it."
Li Shi was sitting in a wheelchair. Not only was he wearing a thick leather robe, but he was also covered with a thick camel hair blanket. There were heaters in his arms and at his feet. There were several palace guards standing around to protect him from the wind. He was emotionally It's not cold!
"The second brother is right, the fourth brother has made a great contribution this time..." Li Feng said, "And this is the first time he has made a contribution. It is appropriate for our ceremony to be more grand and formal. It's okay to be a little cold, but if the fourth brother My younger brother has arrived, but we stayed in the reed shed and couldn't come out. What will the fourth younger brother think? You can't blame us!"
Li Feng's words were obviously filled with emotion. How many military exploits had he made during his many years of fighting in the north and south?
Every time I return to court after a victory, have you ever greeted me so grandly, Father?
He, Li Qiu, has only made a single contribution, yet you mobilized so many troops, and even asked us to come to greet him in person in the freezing cold weather... I'm afraid he couldn't bear the responsibility!
Is it okay if we just hate him? Everyone must hate him!
This is also the little calculation in Li Shi and Li Feng's minds. They deliberately asked everyone to come out early and wait. When they were shivering from the cold, they would definitely curse Li Qiu in their hearts without saying anything...
In fact, the two of them are superfluous, and I don’t want to think about who is present?
Master, who is one step away from becoming a spirit, still doesn’t know the little tricks of the two of them?
So no one hates Li Qiu, they all hate them two!
You guys are so unhappy, why do you drag us to suffer together?
Does a prince have so much courage? It’s really too much!
"Master Liu, what's going on?" Lu Jing in the crowd pulled Liu Qiheng and whispered.
"What's going on?" Liu Qiheng asked.
"I think it's a bit unreasonable to rely on regulations, right?" Lu Jing said, "What did you, the Minister of Rites, do?"
"Do you think it was my etiquette department that did it?" Liu Qiheng said with a dark face, "Don't I know the rules yet? But Prince Fengyang ordered this, how can I not obey it?"
"Maybe the prince doesn't understand, so you should refute him." Lu Jing said.
"The prince said this was the emperor's intention, how should I refute it? Can I still ask the emperor face to face?" Liu Qiheng said.
"Alas... a good thing has to end like this." Lu Jing was now increasingly dissatisfied with Fengyang King Li Feng.
His Ministry of War has always been under the control of Li Feng. Li Feng was always fighting outside. As Minister of War, he gave strong support and never delayed Li Feng's fighting opportunities.
Therefore, Li Feng always praised him highly, and he was also very happy, thinking that the prince was also sensible and his hard work was not in vain.
But after Li Feng came back, the two of them didn't get along so well, because Li Feng would always give him some inexplicable and even embarrassing orders, and it was neither right for him to do it nor not to do it...
In the beginning, he always took the initiative to come to visit me, but later on, the number of people who went there gradually became less and less.
He complained a lot about Li Feng, but Li Feng was very dissatisfied with him. You, Lu Jing, are mine, why don't you do things for me?
What's An's thinking, what's his plan?
There was a rift between the two, and their relationship became increasingly estranged. When Li Qiu comes, Lu Jing, as the Minister of War, will definitely go to pay homage.
Li Feng was very upset when he found out that he was not happy. He called Lu Jing and scolded him in person, saying that he saw that he was frustrated, so he became indifferent. When he saw that Li Qiu was now popular, he joined him.
By doing this, he can be described as a shameless villain who is vacillating at both ends!
Lu Jing was the Minister of War, and the emperor always spoke politely to him. Now that he was being scolded by this prince, he lost his face and felt even more angry.
I didn't say anything at the time, but from now on, I will never step into the Fengyang Palace again!
What troubled him the most was that others didn't know the inside story and thought he was a member of King Fengyang, leaving him speechless and helpless...
Now that I saw Li Feng secretly stumbling upon Li Qiu, I felt really disapproving.
However, Xiao Chen, Li Qiu and Gong Shouli heard that the two princes and many high-ranking officials were waiting at Desheng Village. They felt sorry for the cold weather and could only leave their luggage behind. The three of them, along with Zhang Heng and others, hurried on. Take the first step.
From a distance, I saw a dense crowd of people standing at the entrance of the village, all shivering in the cold wind. I could hear the stamping of feet from such a distance... I felt like something was not quite right.
We dismounted together and looked at each other, thinking that this scene is not very pretty, I'm afraid it's just to make us look bad...
"Haha, what did I say? Now it's time to start making trouble." Gong Shouli said coldly.
When they got closer, Zhang Heng and others were obedient and deliberately fell behind, so Gong Shouli could say this. "Maybe the emperor asked them to do this, and we don't dare to be disrespectful, right?
? In fact, why do we care about this? "Li Qiu said.
"Humph, will the emperor let them light twelve palace lanterns and fly twelve yellow dragon flags?" Gong Shouli said, "This is a grand ceremony to welcome the prince. Why did the emperor make your prince the prince?"
"Ah?" Li Qiu was surprised when he heard this, "How could this happen?"
"Haha, this is definitely not the emperor's intention. It is probably the actions of the two princes. Listen carefully. Are they playing the royal music of Changyin Pavilion? What they are singing is also the triumphal song of the prince's tour. This is obviously to welcome the prince. The prince's battle!" Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Then what should we do?" Li Qiu asked, "Should we go to the banquet or not?"
"Is it okay not to go to the banquet? The two princes and so many civil and military officials have been standing in the cold weather for so long waiting for you, why don't you just leave and show off? You can only pretend to be confused, deal with it for a while, and then run away. You must tell the emperor clearly when you go back and see him, otherwise you will be sick in the future!" Xiao Chen said.
"Let Xiao Chen and the Emperor interfere with them for a while. The two princes have gone too far." It's not that Gong Shouli doesn't want to participate, but that he, a eunuch, does not have the power to interfere with other princes. The most he can do is to insinuate the emperor. Son, the strength is not strong enough.
