It's just that Yongwang has always been a bit of a show-off, and he is even more show-off. Standing in this extremely conspicuous position, I felt uncomfortable all over. The last time he attended a large court meeting, although he was standing in front, there were three other people in front of him: the prince, the king of Shu, and the king of Teng. Now he stands where he should stand, as a prince in the past.
Faced with the strange looks from all the surrounding officials, or simply being confused, I wonder why this prince, who is always known for his absurdity and has never been allowed to participate in such occasions except for an exception two years ago, Suspicious eyes will appear in this court meeting. Before the emperor and Huang Qiong came in, King Yong felt like a monkey being watched by everyone.
No matter how thick-skinned he is on weekdays, King Yong couldn't help but sweat a little at this time. The emperor complained again in his heart and dragged himself over to suffer the consequences. Ever since he entered the Hanyuan Hall, he had been a little restless. I just hope that the ninth brother who never comes back after being summoned by the old man will come back soon so that he can share some of those strange looks for him.
Until the music playing outside was changed to the music of the emperor's arrival. The ministers looked at him with strange eyes and were attracted by the emperor. Only then did King Yong feel better. But when King Yong raised his head and looked at Huang Qiong, who came in arm in arm with the old man, and climbed up to the last position where the emperor's throne was, his jaw was not even shocked.
No wonder, when he entered the Hanyuan Palace, the eunuch and eunuch in charge who had been following him did not hesitate to put him first. Even though I have repeatedly said that this position is reserved for the King of England. But the eunuch didn't seem to hear it. No explanation, no change of mind, just let him stand here.
This stop made him tremble with fear, thinking that he had taken Huang Qiong's position. As a result, he was dragged directly to the imperial steps by the old man and stood on the right side of the old man's throne. What surprised Yong Wang, who had already attended a major court meeting, was even more surprising. In the past, even if the prince participated, he could only stand at the head of the civil officials, and never stood above the Dan Emperor.
But today, not only was Huang Qiong standing on top of Lord Dan, looking at the situation, he should have been dragged up by the old man, which shocked King Yong even more. It's just that King Yong was really frightened today. He didn't expect that what shocked him was far from over. During the rest of the ceremony after the ceremony, Huang Qiong and the old man actually received three bows and nine kowtows from the officials.
And among them, naturally, he, the seventh brother, is the current Yongwang. The scene in front of him, no matter how big-hearted King Yong was, was still a bit tasteful. After all, it was the same thing on weekdays, but if he was actually asked to kowtow to Huang Qiong, he still felt a little uncomfortable. Even as early as yesterday, when Huang Qiong was called to offer sacrifices to the Ancestral Temple, he was somewhat mentally prepared.
But after all, it was just to offer sacrifices to the Ancestral Temple. It was for him, the ninth younger brother, to kowtow to his ancestors, but he was not asked to kowtow to this ninth younger brother. When it really came to this point, although King Yong had no jealousy, the ninth brother's identity changed so quickly that King Yong, who was somewhat unprepared, was still caught off guard.
But after all, he is King Yong. Even though he is a bit tasteless and uncomfortable, he has always been a big-hearted person. Seeing Huang Qiong standing next to the old man with a calm expression, he felt relieved in a short time. As early as when this guy was sent to Zhengzhou to quell the rebellion, he had already predicted that it would be a matter of time for this guy to replace the prince. Why are you a little jealous today?
Anyway, for me, no matter when it comes, my position will be far higher than that of other brothers, right? Compared with other people who succeed to the throne, I definitely won't have any good fruits to eat. It is better for this big position to fall into the hands of this guy than to fall into the hands of others. Thinking of this, King Yong shook his head, and the uncomfortable feelings in his heart were quickly relieved.
After just a set of etiquette, King Yong, who was a little dizzy from kowtowing, stood at the head of the civil service and looked at his ninth brother pitifully. Even if he knew that this guy who was always pretentious and actually a bit hypocritical, he would never do anything overstepping his predecessors in front of the old man, let alone even the slightest step beyond him.
But in my heart, I also hope that this ninth brother, whose identity is now very different, will do it for the sake of being a good brother to him. With the last sentence, Seventh Brother will be exempted from this big gift. It's a pity that Huang Qiong didn't seem to see the pleading in his eyes at all. The officials of the Ministry of Etiquette, who were standing there pitifully, singing rites with their followers, and King Yong, who was either kneeling or kowtowing, paid no attention at all.
After finally waiting for all the great gifts, foreign envoys began to come in to see the emperor one after another. King Yong, who finally no longer had to kowtow, breathed a sigh of relief. Standing there facing him, he saw himself bowing and kowtowing to him three times, and he just accepted it. Huang Qiong, who pretended not to notice his request for help and ignored him all the time, cast a look of contempt.
Compared with King Yong, who has somewhat complicated thoughts, he was also summoned to attend the meeting today. The King of Guilin, who was standing behind him at this time, looked at Huang Qiong, who was standing on the throne and on the right side of the throne, and fell into confusion. meditation. He didn't know whether the trick done by the father and son in front of him was for the foreign envoys to see, or for himself.
What he didn't even expect was that although the British king had not yet been crowned prince, he had received such attention from the emperor. Even the treatment that the prince had not enjoyed before was actually able to get it. And this King of England's behavior is definitely not comparable to that of the original prince. Maybe, I really should take a good look at the King of England now.
Not only King Yong and King Guilin, but also the father and son who were looking at Lord Dan, had extremely complicated thoughts. Even the civil and military officials on both sides had different feelings in their hearts at this time. Those people with quick brain reactions and active minds, no matter who the master behind them was, decided to resolve a thousand feuds with the King of England with a smile as early as the news of the "death" of the King of Shu came, and had the idea of changing the family.
Those who seemed to react a little slowly were shocked and immediately decided to find ways to attract the King of England's attention. Compared to other people who are all thinking about how to get in touch with the British King in private. Among the officials at the moment, the one with the most complex thoughts was the representative figure of the De Fei family in the court, the third-rank minister of Sinong Temple.
He was looking at the chief minister of Sinong Temple, Huang Qiong, standing on Danbi with complicated eyes. Do you know what your sister did when the British King Zhengzhou was dealing with the aftermath? He also knows what his unsatisfactory son did when he was in Zhimizhou. Knowing that at this point, King Song had no chance, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This day is really going to change."
It was just when his extremely complex eyes accidentally collided with the eyes of Huang Qiong who was standing on the throne of Dan, scanning the ministers standing below with seemingly plain eyes. But he was startled by the sharp look hidden in Huang Qiong's eyes. This is the first time I have seen a person of this age with such sharp eyes. Then he lowered his head, not daring to look at the King of England.
In fact, he was afraid of being noticed by the British king, and the chief minister of Sinong Temple was somewhat guilty, so he was really worried. At this time, Huang Qiong could not think about thinking about their family. What's more, he still has a good idea of his current true status. Huang Qiong knew that the emperor had only elevated his position, but had not given him real power.
He also knew that he could not touch their family for the time being. Although the emperor has obviously begun to neglect the De Fei family, there is no possibility of killing them with a hammer. Especially now that Concubine De is still there, the emperor will not touch her natal family. Not giving real power means not giving real power, but the emperor will not go any further until it is absolutely necessary.
Besides, as long as their family would be honest in the future and stop cooperating with Concubine De in such small tricks in private, Huang Qiong had no intention of tampering with them. After all, one move can affect the whole body. This kind of official family can be found everywhere in the court. There are no officials who are not party-minded. Once their family is disturbed, they have to consider those officials at all levels who are attached to their family system. After all, Su Banchao is not called for nothing.
The old man in their family has served as the examiner of the imperial examination for many times, and his students and former officials have served in both the government and the public. If their family is disturbed, it will cause instability among the civil servants. What's more, their family is not the only one in the DPRK. Although other aristocratic families do not have as close a network of connections as theirs, they are not too far behind. The situation among civilian officials was slightly worse, but it was even worse among military attachés.
Those noble families are even more closely related to each other, and they are also closely connected with each other through in-laws. After disturbing their family, we have to consider the reactions of other aristocratic families. Therefore, as long as their family behaves honestly from now on and does not cooperate with Queen Song and her son to cause trouble for Huang Qiong, Huang Qiong will naturally not rush to find trouble for their family.
What's more, Huang Qiong's eyes were attracted to these two people now. Not to mention that he was the chief minister of Sinong Temple, Huang Qiong's father-in-law, who was the most wealthy in the world, and even the prince of Guilin did not attract his attention. And one of these two people was none other than the King of Northern Liao Liang who was an envoy to a foreign country. The other one came to congratulate him, one of the leaders of the Xiang people in Longyou.
The first thing that caught Huang Qiong's attention was naturally the most important person this time. As a foreign envoy, King Liang was the first to enter the Hanyuan Hall. As soon as he entered the hall, Huang Qiong's seemingly peaceful gaze was attracted by this person. Without him, this handsome and sturdy Liang Wang, although he looked drunk and lustful at this time, he could not hide the heroic spirit under his eyebrows.
When the King of Liang stood up after bowing with Northern Liao etiquette, Huang Qiong took a closer look at this guy. But I found that although this guy was very young, only in his mid-twenties, he looked far from that flamboyant person. Although there is a heroic spirit in his eyebrows, he is very restrained. Moreover, the eyes that occasionally glanced at the surrounding officials revealed a hint of sharpness from time to time.
This person is definitely not the drunken and lustful person he showed after entering the Da Qi Dynasty. The behavior of this person was definitely done deliberately, specifically to paralyze those who were monitoring him. A true drunkard will never have such sharp eyes, let alone the heroic spirit in his eyebrows. This was the first feeling Huang Qiong had from the Northern Liaoliang King.
And when the King of Liang spoke, his sophistication made Huang Qiong firmer in his judgment. There was just one thing that Huang Qiong didn't understand. No matter when this guy was giving a grand ceremony or chatting with the emperor, although he was not looking directly, he was always squinting at the group of civil servants, seemingly looking for something.
Just when Huang Qiong followed the slanting light he looked at the civil servant, looking for what this guy was looking for. But he didn't expect that this guy was not as alert as usual. After realizing that someone was always observing him, he immediately withdrew his gaze. Next, there is no other movement of the eyes.
