After watching the fireworks show, everyone returned to the hall again and enjoyed the singing and dancing performances, changing glasses and drinking wine, and it was a joyful time.
At this moment, Minister Youcheng Zhongju suddenly stood up and said loudly that his daughter was about to have hairpins, so she begged the emperor to grant her a marriage.
As soon as these words came out, the originally bustling hall fell silent for an instant, and all the officials looked at Zhong Ju with incredulous eyes. Among them, the officials of several prosperous aristocratic families had the most astonished expressions.
Zhong Ju, is he crazy? !
Please your Majesty grant me a marriage!
Perhaps because he didn't surprise everyone enough, he added that his youngest son had also reached the age of marriage. If the emperor could arrange the marriage, it would be a double happiness.
As soon as these words came out, Xia Mengshi almost crushed the wine cup in his hand, gritted his teeth and looked at Zhong Ju, who was respectfully waiting for the marriage, and then at Chu Moyuan, who looked satisfied on the stage, and instantly knew what was going on.
Zhongju! ! !
He is still shameless! Are you willing to disregard the family's face just to curry favor with the emperor? !
As expected, after listening to Zhong Ju's words, Chu Moyuan was obviously very interested and immediately asked the ministers if there were any suitable candidates in their families.
Then, they left all the children of the appropriate age from aristocratic families to choose, and finally chose two young sons, the youngest son of Sinong Qing Xu Shixun and the youngest daughter of Secretary Supervisor Pei De, who both came from poor families!
As soon as this result came out, the ministers immediately understood what the emperor meant. The emperor intended to elevate the status of Xu Shixun and Pei De...
Although Zhong Ju was in the fourth rank and his status was not as high as that of Xu Shixun and Pei De, he was born in the Zhong family of Lingyao. His father was Zhong Wenyue, the prime minister of Zuopu She, and his second uncle was Zhong Wenkai, the general of the country.
With this marriage gift, Xu Shixun and Pei Dexiao's eyes narrowed, and the faces of ministers from Jiangling Xia family, Hongnan Wu family and other aristocratic families were distorted.
I thought the matter would end here, but unexpectedly, the emperor actually married the daughter of the Yongjia County Prince to the new Minister of Household Affairs, Cao Yue.
After hearing this, Xia Mengshi almost jumped up in anger. Although he had known that the emperor intended to raise the power of the poor family, he did not expect that it would happen so quickly.
In previous years, at most, a few unimportant officials from aristocratic families were dismissed and some local officials from poor families were promoted to serve in the capital. However, unexpectedly, this time, they actually had long-term plans and promoted their status directly!
On the other hand, looking at the behavior of these people who were given marriages, it was obvious that they had planned it in advance!
Shangshu's right servant shot Wu Yuanji, whose complexion was no different from Xia Mengshi's, who was equally ugly. The Zhong family was different from other aristocratic families like theirs. He had been assisting people since the founding of the Liang Dynasty. He had never had a second thought in the past hundred years and was as peaceful as a dog raised in his own backyard. Like a dog.
Because of this, most of the Zhong's men were consorts and most of their women were concubines, and their power was once the head of the family.
However, Mu Xiu was destroyed by Lin Feng. The Zhong family, which outshone all other aristocratic families, was suppressed during the reign of Emperor Ling, and the number of royal in-laws in the family dropped sharply.
It was at this time that the Jiangling Xia Clan, Hongnan Wu Clan, Anyang Su Clan and other aristocratic families took this opportunity to leap forward and trampled it under their feet within a few decades.
The foreign envoys could not understand the turbulent waves inside Daliang, and they were a little confused when they saw that the atmosphere suddenly cooled down, but it just gave them time to present the treasure.
I saw an envoy from a small country in the Western Regions who had never been received by the court suddenly came out, saying that he wanted to perform a song and dance for the Emperor of Liang.
A moment later, a group of women dressed in Western costumes appeared in the palace, surrounded by a woman with an extremely beautiful face.
The next moment the singing and dancing started, everyone in the palace, whether male or female, their eyes were almost subconsciously attracted to the beautiful woman.
In just a few moments, the hall was covered with a looming layer of pink mist, and everyone's eyes were a little blurred.
The surrounding music covered the entire hall like a big net.
Only Chu Moyuan and everyone with the amulets given by Shen Zhizhi were still awake, and they all frowned when they saw this strange scene.
Shen Zhizhi felt sleepy after watching the fireworks. After returning to the palace, she fell asleep in Chu Moyuan's arms. Her sleep was particularly sweet at the moment, with no sign of waking up.
In the dream, Shen Zhizhi was dreaming about killing everyone when she grew up, but unexpectedly, a Godzilla suddenly appeared in front of her, roared at her, and then blew her away dozens of meters away. Then he raised his foot to trample her to death.
Shen Zhizhi, who was lying on the spot unable to move, watched helplessly as the huge sole stepped down.
"!!!"
Shen Zhizhi was suddenly awakened by the terrifying dream. He stared around in horror, and breathed a long sigh of relief when he found that Godzilla was no longer around.
But what is this doing? Why is everyone so sleepy?
Shen Zhizhi looked at the ministers and concubines who were hunched over and seemed to have fallen asleep in surprise, feeling a little puzzled.
I also saw my maternal uncle and cousins sitting stiffly in their seats, as if frozen, looking at...
Shen Zhizhi followed their eyes.
You won’t know until you look at it, but you will be shocked at first glance. It is simply scarier than Godzilla in dreams.
Shen Zhizhi stared stiffly at the dozen dancing foxes in the center of the hall, with goosebumps all over her body.
Shen Zhizhi: "..."
She shrank stiffly into Chu Moyuan's arms.
Then she swallowed and looked up at the emperor's uncle who was holding her. Fortunately, her emperor's uncle was not drowsy like the others, but looked at everything in the palace with a gloomy expression.
After realizing that Shen Zhizhi had woken up, she immediately lowered her eyes and hugged her tighter.
Shen Zhizhi: "..."
What's going on!
She was just sleepy and wanted to sleep for a while, dreaming about Godzilla, but when she opened her eyes, she saw a group of foxes dancing like humans in the main hall!
Why are there goblins in the palace?
【uncle……】
[Perhaps you know Su Daji? 】
Chu Moyuan: "...?"
Everyone who could hear Shen Zhizhi's thoughts but couldn't move said: "..."
what is that?
Chu Jinyan: "..."
He really wanted to tell his dear sister that he knew, but he couldn't do it now! Can't even move!
[emmm...Uncle, you are watching a group of Su Daji dancing right now. 】
Chu Moyuan: "..."
Everyone: "..."
What's the meaning?
Chu Jinyan: "..."
Others don't know what Su Daji means, but he does!
Looking at the beautiful women singing and dancing in front of him, he almost fainted.
[Well... there is a version of Su Daji who is a beautiful fox... spirit. 】
Chu Moyuan: "..."
Everyone: "..."
[What you see in your eyes must be beautiful women...]
Shen Zhizhi looked at the eye-catching scene and sighed quietly.
[I'm different, it's all foxes dancing, so scary...]
[Um...Xiao Qi, why are you shaking? Aren’t beauties good-looking? 】
