Drunken Exquisiteness - Chapter 52

Ruixue is a good year. This year seems to have more snow than in previous years. When you open your eyes in the early morning, you will see a scene of “suddenly like a night of spring breeze, and thousands of trees and pear blossoms”. Make people feel comfortable from the bottom of their hearts.

Due to the entry into the New Year, the memorial reports of all states and provinces have been picked up and said, it is really a good atmosphere. The words of congratulations in the film were dizzying, and I only felt that it was flooded. On the contrary, the emperor was in a good mood, or when people were getting older, he really liked to hear some festive words.

After the New Year celebration, it was the second post-grand ceremony during the reign of the Emperor.

The imperial concubine Yin family is well-known and possesses both talents and virtues. For several years, he has served in the harem, full of public expectations, and the emperor’s decree was set up as the queen, the mother of the world. The decree was drafted by Qing Chen. After receiving the decree, the Ministry of Rites and Emperor Zongsi immediately set out to prepare the Queen’s Golden Book and Seal. The Ye Clan’s Jinfengshi, a symbol of the queen’s identity, was also given to the new queen according to the ancestral system. Qing Chen was ordered to declare the decree and watched helplessly as the Golden Phoenix Stone was sent to the Yin Guifei Palace, close in front of him, but far away.

The Emperor of Heaven looked at the booklet presented by the Ministry of Rites, and said to Qing Chen: “Through my will, just follow the plan of the Ministry of Rites. This ceremony will be hosted by the prince.” After a pause, “Sun Shi, go to the East Palace to see. The prince’s body is very good. This year the Temple of Heaven Winter Festival requires him to make sacrifices on behalf of me.” The prince has been sick since he moved back to the East Palace. He has not been in court for a few days. Although the Emperor of Heaven knew that the disease may not necessarily be the real disease, he never investigated it. , Only send the imperial physician to get a pulse every day.

Qing Chen bowed his head and walked away from the text, faintly hearing some meaning from the words of the Emperor of Heaven. In recent days, after the award book was sealed, the Emperor of Heaven can be described as a holy grace to the mother and son of King Cham. The prince has not yet been clearly dealt with. It is inevitable that some people will guess that this may be a sign that King Cham will enter the East Palace. However, the major event of the country lies in the worship and the Rong. The four seasons have always been performed by the emperor. The emperor ordered the prince to make sacrifices to the emperor. This is undoubtedly an announcement to the world and the reserve is immovable.

At the post-book ceremony on the first day of February, Ye Tianhao with a purple robe and jade belt was a bit thinner than before, but his eyebrows and eyes were still graceful and graceful, and he obeyed the rules of etiquette in one day, almost perfectly in charge of the ceremony. . The emperor paid attention to him, with a satisfied smile on his lips, just because the eldest son seemed to have finally returned to normal, he almost ignored the Queen Yin who had just been enrolled next to him.

Standing by the Emperor of Heaven, Qing Chen always felt that something disturbing was hidden in the calmness of Ye Tianhao’s surface. The whole person is standing among the officials of the stars holding the moon, but he seems to have escaped from the Palace of Supreme Harmony where the dragon and the phoenix are carved, and will float away at any time. This feeling is so clear that it is so clear that he can almost touch the sorrow that he hides deeply by reaching out, but in front of him he can only see the noble smile on his fair and handsome face, which makes people very confused for a while.

In the main hall of the East Palace in the middle of the night, Ye Tianhao’s lips were filled with a smile, and he watched his third and ninth brothers disappear outside the palace gate. On the long corridor covered with snow, the footprints were clearly identifiable in depth and depth, winding to the depths of darkness.

After a while, he raised his head, poured a cup of jelly into his mouth, and then laughed loudly. He seemed to have discovered the most interesting thing in the world. The laughter made tears flow out. A staggered one almost fell, scared the waiter hurried forward. Hold on: “His Royal Highness…”

“Get off!” Ye Tianhao suddenly angered, “Go out!” The original elegant and gentle face was a bit rough because of the alcoholic taste. A beaded gold cup suddenly fell to the ground, accompanied by several white porcelain jade plates. , The harsh voice echoed empty in the hall.

“Now that Emperor Father has named Queen Yin, I am afraid that he would have forgotten the Queen Mother…”

“Queen Yin and Brother Seven are now deeply favored, don’t your Highness worry…”

“The three of us were born to a mother, and we will do our best to help your Royal Highness…”

“His Royal Highness don’t have to hesitate, if you see them sitting big, they won’t be able to clean up…”

“His Royal Highness, I am afraid of change…”

“His Royal Highness…”

“His Royal Highness…”

“His Royal Highness…”

“Shut up!” Ye Tianhao yelled wildly, isn’t it ridiculous? This is his own biological brother, the brother who just killed Luan Fei and step by step to win the crown. They are all crazy. From watching what the emperor did a few years ago to today’s brothers shooting with guns and arrows, everyone around them is crazy…

The cold wind from nowhere penetrated into the hall of the high hall and lifted the curtains of the palace. The whole world seemed to be distorted in front of people. The golden and magnificent dragon chair in the Taisho Palace drove everyone crazy.

Ye Tianhao laughed and couldn’t help coughing, but was trembling and hugged him: “Your Highness… Your Highness, wake up!”

This sweet voice rained with tears, he discerned it, but it was his own wife, Prince Wei Ru.

The princess was scared by the prince to be at a loss, and just called out: “His Royal Highness, what’s wrong? Come here! Hurry up and announce the royal doctor!”

Ye Tianhao dragged her to her eyes and said with a smile: “Go back and tell the Guardian, he found the wrong person, I am not uncommon! Ask him to quickly marry his daughter to someone else!” There is also a daily waiter. Which of the women around is not a bargaining chip for the dragon chair? Step by step, surround yourself, even Luan Fei.

The princess was pushed away by him and fell to the side, crying: “His Royal Highness, you…what are you talking about?”

Ye Tianhao’s eyes were shining with the shining candles in the temple, as cold as a mountain spring: “From today onwards, there will be no Prince of Donggong, and no prince.” He looked around for a while, grabbing the pen and paper on the long case behind the curtain. Long Feifengwu wrote down a paper and threw it in front of the prince princess: “You are free, hurry up, hurry up!” After talking, he smiled and went to the depths of the hall.

The prince concubine sat there messy makeup, staring at Ye Tianhao’s figure disappearing into the darkness. The resignation note in black and white slowly fell in front of him, repeatedly blown by the cold wind, and then drifted away. She didn’t know how long she had been sitting, and the tears were dry. Finally, she helped the long case beside her stand up, straightened her hairpin, straightened her back, and walked towards the door step by step.

The gate of the palace opened, and the snowy ground was gloomy, and a piercing wind roared in, blowing the golden curtains. The heavy candlelights could not withstand the cold wind, and they went out one after another, and the gorgeous East Palace was completely plunged into a black abyss.

Half an hour later, the little maid serving the princess brought the ginseng soup to the dormitory. She saw the white silk hanging on the top of the beam and the princess hanging in the air in a white palace costume, already dying away.

The little maid yelled in horror, and the ginseng soup fell to the ground, turned and ran out: “Help! Prince…Prince Princess…” But she was shocked to find that a demon flame was lit in the depths of the palace, and the whole East Palace was smoked. Rolling up, the fire took advantage of the wind to climb rapidly along Qionglou Yuyu, devouring the magnificent dreams of the world.

In the middle of the palace, the prince in white clothes and a jade crown, holding a long burning candle, smiled and stood among the bright smoke and flames, his clear eyes were stained with soaring flames, and there was the peace and satisfaction of death.

Wu Qijun, the Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry, withdrew from the Zhiyuan Hall. The sky was still unclear, and his eyes were still cold and blue. The deep winter was bitterly cold, but he was sweating through his clothes, standing in front of the steps to stabilize his mind, and then slowly walked outside the palace.

The night before the East Palace, the fire almost burned to the Taisho Palace. Fortunately, the rescue was timely. It never caused a catastrophe, but the good-looking East Palace has turned into a scorched ruins. The guards desperately rescued the prince out, but the princess died in the fire. The Secretary of Proposal was ordered to investigate all the way, and there was a palace official who said that the princess died of suicide, and that the fire was instigated by the prince himself.

The matter was not trivial, no one dared to neglect, and then he reported to the Emperor of Heaven. Now there is not a little bit of joy after the Spring Festival in this palace, and everyone is silent, for fear of saying a wrong sentence and causing trouble to the upper body.

Before Wu Qijun left the Zhiyuan Hall, he saw several inner court guards and the prince coming here, avoiding aside: “The minister Wu Qijun has seen His Royal Highness.”

Ye Tianhao’s expression was faint, and he couldn’t see clearly under the hazy morning curtain. He just felt that he seemed to smile slightly: “Master Wu, your Highness, now I’m just a criminal of your torture department.”

Sweat oozes from Wu Qijun’s forehead, and he hurriedly said: “His Royal Highness is serious, how dare the minister.”

Ye Tianhao laughed and went straight to the propaganda room.

Qing Chen and Sun Shimo stood silently beside the Emperor of Heaven, staying up all day and night, but neither of them felt sleepy.

After Wu Qijun went out, the Emperor of Heaven looked gloomy and looked at the Tiao Chen who reported the fire in the East Palace without a word. The prince confessed to the personal arson, and took all the death of the prince to himself. It wasn’t the first day to serve the Emperor of Heaven. Both of them knew that the Emperor of Heaven was very angry at this time, and he must have been hurt too, but he fell silent.

Although the charcoal fire in the Jinxuan stove was red, the Xixuan room was filled with suffocating coldness and death, until the prince came in and knelt on the ground, the emperor did not raise his head. I don’t know how long it took, he closed the tiaochen in his hand and nodded, “Okay, okay, okay.” He even said three “good” words, “I even learned **** and set fire, my good son.”

Ye Tianhao kowtowed deeply, took off the white jade crown symbolizing the status of the prince, and placed it on the bluestone ground in front of him, and kowtowed: “Please father the emperor to complete the children.”

The Emperor of Heaven looked at the white jade crown coldly: “What do you accomplish? Do such a thing, drag it out of the Meridian Gate and cut it?!”

Ye Tianhao smiled faintly: “Thank you, Father.”

“You!” Tiandi stood up abruptly, fingered the prince, his body was trembling with anger, his head was dizzy, and he almost fell in a sway.

Qing Chen and Sun Shi were taken aback, and quickly stepped forward to help: “Your Majesty!”

The two helped the Emperor to sit down. Qing Chen knew that this was an angry attack, and persuaded: “Your Majesty, please calm down and take care of the dragon body.”

Ye Tianhao knelt there, clenched his hands into fists, his eyes flashed through unconcealed concern, but he quickly recovered that indifferent attitude.

The Emperor helped his forehead sitting on the dragon couch, his tone was disappointed: “I have spent so many years on you, how much effort I have spent on you, so that you are what you are today!”

Ye Tianhao looked sadly: “It’s the sin of the child minister. If it weren’t for the prince of the child minister, the two emperor brothers Yanzhao and Yanxuan might not have died. The position of the prince should have been theirs.”

Mu Di died of illness, his eldest son Yanzhao was ten years old, and his second son Yanxuan was still in his infancy. The Queen Mother was afraid of political chaos due to her child being in charge of the country. She, together with Feng Yan and Wei Zongping, as the auxiliary ministers, ascended the throne as the emperor today, and named Mu Di’s eldest son Ye Yanzhao the crown prince. But within a few years, Ye Yanzhao committed suicide, and Ye Yanxuan died of illness, and the crown prince fell on Ye Tianhao.

The Emperor slowly stood up: “What did you say!”

Ye Tianhao knocked his head again: “Shengwu ten years, brother Yan Zhao put down the Xifan Qiang rebellion and returned to Beijing, but his subordinates were repeatedly reprimanded, and he also went to the rank of general and had a princely title. Emperor Yanzhao has always been arrogant, how can he bear such humiliation? Emperor Yanxuan and his sons and ministers are about the same age, and have always been in good health. In the fifteenth year of Shengwu, he became ill and died of a serious illness when he returned home. Uncle Emperor…”

“Enough!” He also said, the Emperor waved his hand and gave him a slap in the face, and Dalian himself staggered.

A ray of red blood overflowed from the corner of Ye Tianhao’s mouth, and the Emperor looked at his son who was kneeling in front of him: “You take it seriously, it cost me a lot of pains.”

Bright red blood ran down Ye Tianhao’s white jade-like skin, dripping onto the bluestone floor. He looked contemptuous and miserable, and his smile was shocking and shocking: “Children, thank you father for your pains.”

The Emperor of Heaven was already pale with anger. He was held by Sun Shi, shaking his head constantly, and shouted angrily: “Get out, you give me out!”

Qing Chen and Sun Shi looked at each other and hurriedly stepped forward to help Ye Tianhao: “Your Royal Highness, let’s go back first.”

Ye Tianhao stared at the aging father, and bowed deeply for three times, then stood up silently and turned away without reluctance.

Qing Chen followed to the outside, whispering: “His Royal Highness and the emperor are father and son after all, why bother to force each other?”

Ye Tianhao turned to look at her, and smiled mockingly: “My father, my love, and my brother, which one is not a painstaking effort? You might as well make them all, and everyone is happy.” After he said, “Others laughed at me too much.” Crazy, I laugh at others who can’t see through…” Phi Fa looked up and laughed.

Qing Chen stared at his distant back, the long wind in front of the porch was blowing, and the remnant snow was flying around, thinking that he had deliberately angered the Emperor of Heaven and begged to die, frowned slightly, turned around and said to several inner court guards: Go and take care of your Royal Highness, remember, if there is a half difference, you are the only one to ask.”

The foreman of the guard was Mingzha, nodded slightly, and followed Ye Tianhao.

Qing Chen went back to the propaganda room and saw that the Emperor’s complexion had improved, and he said softly: “Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is just confused for a while. Don’t worry, your Majesty, it’s fine when he wants to understand.”

The emperor’s voice was tired and painful, he closed his eyes and shook his head, and said in a deep voice: “You made a decree for me…” After a long pause, he finally continued, “Since the prince entered the Eastern Palace, he has been outlawed and has not followed my precepts. Evil, it is difficult to speak out. From now on, I will be abolished as a common man and be demoted to Zhuozhou…” Word by word, I was heartbroken, and in the end, it was old tears.

Qing Chen’s heart was stunned, Zhuozhou, the weather is cold, the mountains are high and the road is far away, I am afraid I can’t go back this time: “Your Majesty think twice…” Sun Shi has knelt on the ground: “Your Majesty, Zhuozhou’s bitter cold land…”

The emperor suddenly interrupted them: “My intention has been decided, you don’t need to say more when you wait. Qing Chen made a decree!”

Qing Chen walked slowly to the case, the pen in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand catties, the yellow silk was dazzling, and the ink was like blood. After finishing the writing, he presented it to the Emperor of Heaven, who waved his hand and didn’t look at it: “Go and declare.”

The relationship between father and son, the righteousness of the emperor and his ministers, all vanished and vanished in this decree.
