Chapter 659: Sorry, the price has risen
Ye Chunqiu followed the officials of Zong Lingfu, first passed the main gate and the Jimen Gate, and then there was a colorful glass gate with a knife inside. Inside the gate was the Jinshui Bridge. In the snow, the Yudai River under the Jinshui Bridge seemed to have frozen and formed a layer of thin ice.
When entering the Taimiao, you must not look sideways. Everyone needs to be led by officials from Zongling Mansion or the Ministry of Rites in and out. Therefore, Ye Chunqiu did not dare to be negligent. He followed the officials of Zongling Mansion closely. The man led Ye Chunqiu to a row of houses and said to Ye Chunqiu: "Write Ye, please enter the second room on the left."
Ye Chunqiu walked towards the second room on his head.
The row of houses here are places to rest for the ministers who sacrificed their sacrifices. The auspicious time has not arrived, so all the rooms are crowded with people.
When Ye Chunqiu entered, there were mostly Hanlin and Censors here, with lights rising and already crowded.
When he saw Ye Chunqiu coming, someone greeted Ye Chunqiu. Ye Chunqiu saluted one by one. Dai Dabin, who had arrived, moved his body and said to Ye Chunqiu: "Comrade Ye Xiu, come here."
Ye Chunqiu saw him move half of the cushion away and couldn't help but smile. Why is it like a cage house? Well, there are too many people, so I can only give in.
It was still early, and the masters couldn't help but talk big, but Ye Chunqiu didn't say a word, only hearing them talk about some interesting stories about this year.
The sky gradually became brighter, but the snow still flew. Occasionally, someone came in and out. As soon as the door opened, a cold wind blew in. The candlelight in the room suddenly swayed wildly, and the light and darkness were scattered.
I don’t know when it was, but someone couldn’t help but say, “The auspicious time is coming soon, why don’t you see the Holy Driving?”
Logically speaking, when the Holy Driving is here, everyone needs to welcome it. The auspicious time is the time for sacrifice, but at this time, Your Majesty should move to the side hall to have a rest and prepare for the main sacrifice.
But, it's still missing.
At this time, the door opened again, and the cold wind poured in, causing a burst of cough. An official from the Ministry of Personnel looked around and panted, saying, "Which is Ye Xiu? Ye Xiu, hurry... go to the first room on the left, and Liu Gong summons you to ask."
Ye Chunqiu stood up quickly. The ministers were usually not in good health. After all, they were used to enjoying happiness, so they hurriedly followed him out and closed the door. Following the man to another house. When they just went in, they saw Liu Jian and others surrounding the charcoal basin to keep warm.
This place seemed much empty. There were only eight or nine people in a house, most of which were scholars and monks, but the Minister of Rites was not there. Ye Chunqiu thought he was going to arrange the sacrifice.
Ye Chunqiu saluted and before he could speak a few polite words, Liu Jian asked straight to the point: "Writer Ye Xiu, why haven't Your Majesty come yet?"
I'm really wronged. I don't know whether he came or not.
Ye Chunqiu said: "The officials don't know."
Liu Jian sighed quietly and said, "I asked someone to ask, saying that His Majesty was taking a shower and changing clothes."
He said this and looked at Ye Chunqiu deeply: "Does Ye Xiu know what clothes he is doing?"
Ye Chunqiu was speechless and stopped talking.
Liu Jian sighed again and said, "You said it straight. Does Your Majesty want to use this to threaten me and all the dukes here, so that he can only give up if he is willing to give up?"
Finally... I still can't sit still.
Ye Chunqiu has always been able to understand Liu Jian's mood. When he met such a ridiculous boy, he didn't plan to play according to common sense. No matter how stupid a person is, he was stunned.
In short, the move Ye Chunqiu taught Zhu Houzhao was ruthless enough.
Ye Chunqiu said: "Your Majesty has always been thinking about being appointed as the Duke of Zhenguo. I don't know the rest of the officials."
This kind of thing must be neglected and there must be no handle left.
There was silence in the house, with only the whistling of the cold wind outside.
The charcoal fire in the house was Ran Ran, Liu Jian sighed and said, "Hey... what should I say? The late emperor is here. If you see Your Majesty's inappropriate sacrifice here, how can he be at peace with his spirit in heaven?"
He put his hand on the copper basin and continued as if he was chatting about family matters: "Your Majesty is the Lord of the Nine Five. Since he made the decision, how can he change it as a minister? Ye Xiu, go to the palace and tell Your Majesty that you will talk about the matter of the State Government. I will turn a blind eye and ask Your Majesty to come to Taimiao quickly in his dress, so that you can't miss the auspicious time."
The task is done!
Ye Chunqiu hurriedly said, "Go now."
Ye Chunqiu did not dare to be negligent, so he quickly asked the official of rituals for a horse and entered the palace from Taimiao. Taimiao was not far from the palace. It arrived in a moment. Zhu Houzhao was still anxiously waiting for news in the warm pavilion. When he heard Ye Chunqiu's visit, he immediately became energetic and ordered someone to send Ye Chunqiu in. When he saw Ye Chunqiu coming in, he immediately said, "What, what's wrong? What's there to say?"
Ye Chunqiu said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Liu breathed a sigh of relief."
Zhu Houzhao was still nervous just now, with expectation in her eyes, and a little disappointed.
He felt that Liu Jian would definitely not let him make trouble, and he might have brought a group of ministers to force the palace later. He was still a little nervous. When he heard Ye Chunqiu say that he was relieved, Zhu Houzhao was immediately overjoyed, and even his eyes became much brighter, and he said, "Seriously? I'm scared to death. I thought... I thought... Haha... Then I have to write an order quickly..."
Ye Chunqiu said, "Your Majesty, the auspicious time is coming, and Your Majesty should go to the Taimiao quickly."
"Oh, okay, this is great." Zhu Houzhao pointed at herself with a smile on her face: "I have prepared for a long time. Look, I have already put on my dress. Come on, put on the crown of the sky..."
Speaking of this, Zhu Houzhao paused for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and said, "Wait, Master Liu agreed so easily?"
Ye Chunqiu smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Liu is indeed agreeing."
Zhu Houzhao narrowed her eyes and showed the little fox's appearance: "I figured it out, I have to add another 'Governor-General's General of Military Affairs'."
Ye Chunqiu's face turned green.
Zhu Houzhao has increased the price...
You are not moral or not. If someone agrees to you as a Duke of the State, you will not be satisfied. Isn’t this a cheating person?
Ye Chunqiu could almost imagine that when he went to meet Liu Jian and others, he would have the expression of a muddy horse, and most of them would have the heart of the emperor.
Seeing Ye Chunqiu's expression strange, Zhu Houzhao blinked, and cunning flashed through her eyes: "Ye Aiqing, anyway, one more title is just one more. Since all the masters are willing to agree to Duke Zhenguo, it is not difficult for the general general of the Governor-General of Military Affairs to come. I also want to add the Chief Secretary of the Zhenguo Mansion. I have to explain this to them clearly. If I don't explain it clearly, I have already thought about it and will not go anywhere."
