When they arrived outside the gate of the camp, they saw Nie Bo being gagged, tied up, struggling, glaring with hatred, being escorted towards them by several people.
The brothers' joy turned to anger in an instant, their weapons were in hand, and they were about to fight with each other.
Di Ying raised her hand to stop them, then dismounted and walked towards those people step by step, frowning deeply.
When he was ten steps away from the gate, he stood with his hands behind his back, raised his identity badge as the left prime minister of Wenchang in a clear voice, and said: "I am the minister of Pingzhang Pavilion, the left prime minister of Wenchang in the current dynasty, the governor of Youzhou Mu, Di Ying and Di Huai. Jie, why don’t you guys pay your respects and see you soon!”
This is the first time Di Ying has put on a show like this. He really doesn't want to start a fight with his outgoing predecessor before he takes office.
But the other party didn't think so.
Among the people who escorted Nie Bo out, the first one was tall and tall, with a height of seven feet, and a voice as loud as a bell.
He took a few steps forward, looked at Di Ying, cupped his fists and raised his hands, and said, "I have met Mr. Di. Although the imperial court has ordered you to take over the general's camp, I will not accept it.
You, a weak scholar, use tricks to interfere in military matters. Why do you have that? !
Go back and tell your majesty that Youzhou is a crucial military pass, not a secret battlefield where you and other court officials are plotting. The military merits earned by our soldiers with their blood and sweat are not a stepping stone for people like you. You have come to the wrong place! "
This man's attitude was very arrogant, but his words were straightforward, and the tone and wording of his words were even more bizarre.
…
The timeline is going back.
one month ago.
Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, Shu Guogong and Wei Qiyuan.
In his mansion, in the name of celebrating his birthday, he held a grand banquet for the current prince Li Hongji, as well as the prince concubines Wei Shi, Wu Qiongsi, Wu Chengsi and others.
A total of 58 dishes were served at this banquet: there were cold dishes, such as Wuxing braised bream; there were hot stir-fries, such as Guixun Sauce; there were barbecues, such as Jinling Grilled and Guangming Shrimp Grilled; in addition, soups, desserts, and noodles were also available. Everything. The names of some of the dishes are quite intriguing. For example, Guifeihong is a refined red pastry with flavoring; Tianxue is fried Thai rice noodles with honey; Bailong is shredded mandarin fish; Snow Baby, Royal Yellow Queen Mother Rice and so on. (Taken from Baidu)
This is the most popular and the highest level of banquet - the roasted fish banquet.
Several people exchanged cups, chatted and laughed, and both the host and the guest were pleased.
During the dinner, Webster, who was dressed very beautifully, felt a little drunk without knowing it.
I heard the personal maid of honor whispering a suggestion: "My dear, why don't you go and stand in front of the hall door for a while to get some air and some fresh air."
When Webster heard this, he half raised an arm.
The eldest palace maid understood and quickly supported her.
Webster stood up with his hand on the eldest palace maid's wrist, walked to the hall door and stood there.
At this time, a gust of night wind suddenly blew.
The candlelight in the hall was extinguished by the wind at this moment. On the contrary, the lantern hanging outside the hall door, although swaying in the wind, still kept burning and provided light.
When the people in the hall saw the candles extinguished, they were all shocked at first, and some even made attempts to escape.
But in just one breath, everyone became quiet again.
No one was shouting or making any noise, and no one was running around.
Everyone looked at the Crown Princess Wei Shi standing in front of the hall door in shock.
Because... in the darkness, she is the brightest.
Not to mention her slender figure and stunning charm, because at this time, no one could see her at all.
Under the dim light, colorful clouds appeared on Webster's long dress!
The red is dazzling, the green is fresh, the blue is spacious...
Each color is extremely pure but complements each other. After the whole piece appeared, it looked like a sea of clouds and light mist, as if it was about to ride back on the wind.
It is breathtakingly beautiful and breathtaking.
I don't know who it was, but before anyone could take a closer look, they hurriedly lit the candles in the hall.
The colorful cloud scene disappeared.
Everyone was stunned and couldn't come to their senses.
When the candlelight in the hall was full, their eyes met and their expressions were subtle.
Li Hongji was the only one who was terrified. He stood up in a hurry to say goodbye, and helped Webster leave here. That way is not far worse than running away in embarrassment.
But no matter how scared he was, this good omen still flowed out from the table to the people that night.
At Mao o'clock the next day, go to court early in the morning. The old emperor stood up.
While being groomed by the palace maids, he closed his eyes and asked Eunuch Su who was waiting for him.
"I didn't sleep very peacefully at night. After the morning court, you remember that Xuanyuan is coming to take my pulse."
"yes."
Eunuch Su agreed with his waist in his mouth and took two steps back.
The old emperor opened his eyes and looked over. He asked strangely: "Why did you say so few words today and even took two steps back?"
Every morning when I get up, if there is anything unfinished or to be done yesterday, Eunuch Su will remind me a few words. In this way, the old emperor would know what he was going to do in advance when he went to court in the morning.
Moreover, whenever the old emperor mentioned that he was not feeling well, Eunuch Su would ask a few more questions with nervousness and concern.
Not today.
Not only did he not, he also stepped back and distanced himself from her.
He was so bent that the old emperor could almost see the back of his head.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. The old emperor asked like this.
Su Hong just shook his head and said softly: "Nothing."
Then he took two more steps back.
The waist is still bent like that, as if it is about to fold in half.
The old emperor frowned, raised his hand and waved away the palace maid who was about to paint her mother-in-law, turned around and sat down towards Mr. Su.
Just as he was about to say something, he waved his hand and said, "All of you, get down!"
After the maids and eunuchs left silently like a tide, the old emperor pointed at Su Hong and said, "Speak!"
The tone is sharp and cannot be denied.
Su Hong was still hesitant.
The whisk and dust tail resting on the crook of his arm trembled visibly to the naked eye.
The old emperor was impatient, so he grabbed a hairpin and tried to throw it at him.
Su Hong spoke.
"Last night, Duke Shu invited the prince, princess and others to a banquet. It was, it was... a fish feast..."
The old emperor put down the hairpin in his hand.
A hint of displeasure arose in my heart.
How high is the standard of the fish feast? Even if the prince's status is affordable, why can Wei Qiyuan afford it?
She, a true dragon emperor, dared not indulge her appetite easily and ate whatever she wanted at the roasted fish feast...
Wei Qiyuan actually surpassed him!
However, thinking that in addition to the prince and princess, there were also Wu Qiongsi and Wu Cheng attending the banquet, the old emperor closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
He turned back to face the dressing table, waved his hands as if he didn't care, and said: "Wei Qiyuan's birthday is a good life, and his status as a guest is enough, so let's not pursue it."
After saying that, from the big bronze mirror, I saw that Su Hong still looked the same, and that the dust in the whisk was not still, but was shaking more and more violently.
The old emperor smiled and teased him: "Why are you so afraid of being like this? It's no big deal, I won't get angry because of it. Don't worry."
Then, she heard...
"Love is always the same across thousands of rivers and mountains. Can you vote for me? Just one vote will do!"
