Chapter 41: The Seven Wagons on the Central Axis
In the early morning, a secret letter was delivered to the imperial study.
There was still a lot of time before the morning court, but Sun Jinse, the eldest emperor of Yunqin, had long been accustomed to deal with some matters in the imperial study room half an hour earlier. At this time, this confidential document was sent directly into his hands.
At this time, many courtiers had gathered outside the palace gate as usual. However, today, many officials found that seven black and gold carriages appeared much earlier than usual, and the faces of many high-ranking officials in the front row were...
It is extremely serious and dignified.
"Is there another major change in the military situation on the front line?"
These officials who did not have access to confidential information or were far less well-informed than others began to speculate in their minds. It was just because there was no noise in front of the palace gate and they knew that they would know about it very soon during the morning court, so they restrained themselves and did not ask the officials close to them for questioning.
.
Emperor Yun Qin steadily removed the lacquer seal with his fingers and opened the secret document.
As Wen Xuanshu said in his heart, even though Lin Xi was given the status of high priest by the Priest Hall of the Yuhua family during these days, his mood was the best since Biluo Mausoleum last year.
Concubine Yun is in good health, her belly is getting bigger, and she has passed the period when she is most likely to have a miscarriage. The imperial doctor has confirmed that the fetus is stable, which means that in a few months, Changsun will have another dragon child. This not only means that
Yun Qin once again had a young master, and in his opinion, it was the Sun family whose destiny was endless. Since he could add another prince, he might be able to have a second or third one.
Another reason that made him feel good was that Gu Yunjing performed well. Although the Yunqin army was still unable to launch a large-scale counterattack, the current situation in Nanling Province was stable... To maintain such a situation, some public opinion and some civil officials could be used to maintain the situation.
Minister to promote certain things.
"As a man of the world, he became the founding official of the Yunqin Kingdom. He held great power and sat beside the emperor. Behind the heavy curtain, the black gold carriage drove directly to the emperor's palace... You should be satisfied, and you should retreat."
With some satisfaction, while talking to himself like this, Changsun Jinse's eyes fell on the secret document unfolded in his hand.
After just one glance, his majestic facial features were distorted by extreme anger.
"How dare!...How dare!...How dare!"
He lost his mind and roared three times: "How dare you!" Then with a bang, he smashed everything in front of him, and lightning burst out of the imperial study room, "How dare the Jiang family have such courage!"
"I can't go to court today!"
…
The emperor was furious.
The imperial city trembled, and reports came one after another, reaching outside the palace gate.
The palace gate has been opened.
Can't go to court early?
Many officials waiting outside the palace gate to prepare for the morning court were suddenly in an uproar. This has never happened before in the many years that Changsun Jinse has been in power. What could make the emperor order no court today? In shock,
Many officials, not caring about the strict no-noise outside the palace gate, came forward one after another to inquire, all with low voices and eager discussions.
"Buzz!"
At this moment, a unique metallic sound like a torrent was heard, and a huge and majestic black gold carriage moved first, driving straight towards the unopened palace gate.
"Open the palace gate!"
A majestic, deep and cold voice came out from the carriage, making the palace door with red lacquer and gold nails seem to shake.
Standing at the front of the hundred officials behind the seven black gold carriages, the first assistant Wen Xuanshu frowned slightly, but many officials behind were shocked in their hearts. For a moment, the chaotic voices stopped, and only the metal vibration of the black gold carriages was heard as they moved forward.
Voice.
"The Holy One has decreed that we will not go to court early today..."
The voice of a person inside the palace gate trembled slightly.
"Presumptuous!" Without any unnecessary words, there was an angry shout from the black gold carriage, and the air around the carriage seemed to be distorted in an instant.
From somewhere, a deep cough came out.
There was a torrent of metal vibrations again, and another black gold carriage began to move forward.
As soon as this carriage moved, the other two carriages moved forward almost at the same time.
Next, the remaining black scarf carriages moved together.
The palace door opened with a bang.
Some of the chamberlains were standing on both sides of the palace gate with pale faces and slightly trembling figures, not daring to stop anyone.
Seven huge and majestic black gold carriages drove side by side, along the central axis of Yunqin Imperial City, along the golden Panlong floor tiles, and headed towards the Jinluan Hall!
The entire construction of Zhongzhou Imperial City and the Main Axis Avenue itself were designed with nine carriages traveling together. However, these black gold carriages rarely gather together on weekdays, and they are deliberately staggered. At this moment, although there are only seven of them, they are traveling together.
On the central axis of the imperial city in the morning light, it was particularly thrilling.
An old minister with snow-like hair looked at such a scene. He was shocked and sighed for a moment, but he couldn't help but let out an inexplicable cry, "It's too tight." Tears suddenly appeared on his face.
In the picture in his mind, the last time black and gold carriages appeared was eighteen years ago.
Eighteen years later, this scene happened again, but Yunqin was in a precarious state. From nine carriages, there were now only seven.
Many veterans like him can no longer see clearly with their eyes, but they know it clearly in their hearts.
The foundation of the Huang family comes from direct ministers, public opinion, and local clear currents. The old man of the Huang family died of illness. Then the Huang family used the emperor to avenge the prince. The surging public opinion against Wenren Cangyue weakened layer by layer. Until today, the Huang family clan and
Among the disciples, even those who could enter the Jinluan Palace to discuss affairs were not retained, and all were transferred to the frontiers or remote provinces.
The Wenren family relied on the foundation of the previous dynasty, their prestige and the support of their veterans. However, Wenren Cang Yue rebelled against him, and Emperor Yunqin did not take advantage of the situation. He took advantage of the situation, which directly caused the Wenren family's reputation to disappear. Then some veterans started to directly remonstrate.
Those who opposed the Southern Expedition died, and those who resigned from their old age heard that it was impossible for them to return to the imperial city of Zhongzhou.
In the minds of many veterans like the old man with snow-haired hair, the Jiang family has always been helping and supporting the Changsun family, and has always been on the side of the emperor. How could it be forced to be like this today?
What kind of disaster will happen in front of the palace today?
….
Seven huge black gold carriages rolled forward along the central axis of the imperial city.
Many officials, especially those at the front, raised their heads, gritted their teeth, or clenched their fists in a moment, made up their minds, and walked towards the palace gate.
The most valuable thing in this world for Lin Xi is the simplicity of the people and the sincerity that can be seen everywhere.
As for the court, the most valuable thing in this world is that at some moments, there are always some people with a stronger backbone who dare to stand up regardless of life and death.
"Don't come in!"
However, just when these people were preparing to resist the emperor's order and try to do their best to change some unfortunate things for the country, Wen Xuanshu, who was standing at the forefront of the officials, said calmly but firmly, "Face! More chaos!"
After shouting down these officials, he simply uttered four words.
But these four words made some officials who were even prepared to ignore his obstruction stop and hang their heads anxiously and sadly.
The emperor needs face.
As an emperor, he needs face more than anyone else.
No matter what arguments the Jiang family had, the emperor and the Jiang family had completely separated themselves.
If more people see the emperor's anger and gaffe, things will develop into a more unfavorable situation.
The other six carriages entered at the same time at this time, which represents an attitude...if they enter, it is impossible for them to play a greater role than these six carriages.
So no matter what they usually think about Wen Xuanshu, it is impossible for them to know the true emotions in Wen Xuanshu's heart at this moment, but at least all these officials agree that Wen Xuanshu's approach at this moment is the most correct.
Wen Xuanshu took a deep breath and told himself in his heart that this was expected and would definitely happen. Before the last straw appeared, these were not things to be happy about. He ensured that he would not do anything that could be detected.
After revealing his true emotions, he turned his head solemnly and looked at the middle-aged official beside him.
The middle-aged official standing next to him is Leng Qiuyu's father, and he is also someone who has entered behind the curtain. He is definitely qualified to enter with the seven carriages at this moment.
At this moment, he could not care about the attitude of the officials behind him, but he must care about the attitude of the official standing beside him.
What made him really happy was that he saw the official beside him, not moving, but still standing silently beside him.
