Hidden Sky Light - Chapter 136
When Guan Shubo returned to the outside of the hall, two more rounds of singing and dancing had passed in the hall, and three rounds of drinking had passed. Some of the officials who had been drinking in a hurry were already slightly drunk.
“How is it, are you all safe?” Dai Jingjie asked.
“Everything is safe.” Guan Shubo’s face was as usual.
“That’s good. Half of the palace banquet is over, and the other half is over. You and I can rest well. I have been busy with today’s affairs recently.”
Guan Shubo agreed, “Yes.”
The patrol of the palace banquet is usually two rounds connected in one place, and then there will be a quarter-hour pause in the middle, and then the cross patrol will be activated. Right now, just two rounds have passed, the weather is cold, and Dai Jingjie and Guan Shubo are both outside the hall.
“Go to the hall, you have been cold these two days, don’t keep blowing, I’ll watch outside the hall for a while, and I’ll call you later.” Guan Shubo was sympathetic.
Dai Jingjie sighed, “Good brother!”
After Dai Jingjie entered the hall, it was almost another half a quarter of an hour. A guard of the Imperial Army stepped forward and whispered to Guan Shubo’s side, “General, they have all made excuses and talked elsewhere. After another minute, almost everything outside the hall and nearby can be replaced with one’s own.”
“Okay.” Guan Shubo said softly, “Continue to watch carefully.”
“Yes!”
Guan Shubo looked at the palace.
There are still the elites of the Imperial Guard in the hall. Although the twenty or thirty guards around the Emperor have all followed Shen Ci to the north, the elites of the Imperial Guard in the lower hall should not be underestimated. These people only obey the orders of the Emperor and Dai Jingjie.
Shen Ci trusted Dai Jingjie. Dai Jingjie’s grandfather was the emperor’s guard, so the most elite people were in the hands of Dai Jingjie. There are at least two hundred Imperial Guards in the hall at the moment. If there is a conflict, the emperor can last for a while with the elite guards and the terrain in the hall.
This is the situation in the palace.
In the city, half of the Ziyiweili went north with Qu Bianying to **** grain and grass, and there were less than ten thousand people left in the capital.
Today’s palace banquet, the Imperial Army and Ziyi Guards cooperate to defend.
It was he who made the defense arrangement. He set the guards in Ziyi to open the gate of the city according to the time, and now the gates of the city were all his own people.
Tonight he not only holds half of the forbidden army, but also the garrison of Kezhou will enter Beijing.
The palace should be in control.
Guan Shubo still warned, “Don’t take it lightly.”
“Yes!”
For a moment, Guan Shubo seemed to think of something, and looked in the hall again. He didn’t see the prince, so he asked someone, “Where’s the prince?”
The person beside him replied, “The prince just got wet, and he never went back to the banquet. There shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
No one should notice their actions, Guan Shubo was cautious, “Be careful, take someone to Chaoyang Palace to see, arrest the prince first, the prince values the prince and can be used as a handle.”
“Yes!”
After about two sticks of incense sticks, Guan Shubo heard the movement and turned to look into the distance. In the distance, he saw that there were banned soldiers with green silk scarves tied around their arms. Guan Shubo knew that they were all his own. Since these people have already gone outside the hall, it means that the Kezhou garrison has entered the city.
Guan Shubo also pressed his saber tightly into the hall.
The hall was singing and dancing, and the courtiers were also toasting each other. Guan Shubo looked at Kou Guogong and Kou Yuntian, who was at the front of the banquet.
Kou Yuntian also saw Guan Shubo nodding at him, and Kou Yuntian understood.
When the song and dance at the moment ended, the hall gradually became quiet.
At the end of each round of singing and dancing, someone will take advantage of the gap to say some congratulatory messages to congratulate the Chinese New Year, etc. The previous round was Fang Sifu. Fang Sifu’s mouth will say that no one will argue with Fang Sifu at this time.
During this round, originally many courtiers wanted to get up, but when they saw Kou Guogong getting up, everyone else hesitated, and then sat down one after another.
Kou Guogong is getting old, and he has long since retired at home.
Moreover, he was the grandfather of the country, who was proclaimed by the late emperor. He had a very high status in the court, and this time he entered Beijing because of the first banquet.
The emperor also respected Kou Guogong very much.
Kou Guogong’s speech in the court earlier was also loud and loud.
Right now, seeing Kou Guogong get up, the hall instantly became quiet.
“Your Majesty, now that Yanhan is in a peaceful and prosperous age, I don’t know if the old minister can give advice?” Kou Guogong is not an official.
Chen Ling smiled and said, “Of course, Kou Guogong, you said.”
Kou Guogong paced into the hall, bowed to the emperor, then bowed his hands, and said in an old-fashioned voice, “Your Majesty, it was originally the first feast for the first day of the new year, but the old minister thought that the first day of the new year was the first day of the spring. It is the time when all things recover, and it is the time to restore Qingming.”
Chen Ling said mildly, “Kou Guogong said yes.”
The hall also showed smiles and applauds.
The Son of Heaven is a wise man, and the matter of Shen Ci was later seen after the conflict between Lin Bei and Barr broke out. The Son of Heaven did the right thing. Let me tell you how the Imperial Censor Tai remonstrated in the court earlier, and the Son of Heaven never interrupted it; now Kou Guogong is also, which shows that the emperor is broad-minded and calm.
The words of compliments and praises to the Son of Heaven in the hall were endless for a while.
But suddenly he saw Kou Guogong kneeling down, pulling the hem of his clothes.
There was an uproar in the hall again, this…
What kind of advice is it worth Kou Guogong to kneel in the palace at such a great age?
Apart from the family members who are not familiar with the world in the hall, the officials who have no brains have also vaguely guessed a few points. I am afraid that there will be a storm tonight!
This, this is the first feast of the first year, and there are so many officials and family members in the hall…
Kou Guogong obviously didn’t care about the side, but handed over and said to the Son of Heaven, “Your Majesty, this minister is an old minister of the three dynasties. Although he is not a minister of speech, and he is not in the court, he always cares about Yanhan Jiangshan Sheji. Yanhan Jiangshan is the ancestor of the ancestors. One inch by one inch, surrounded by tigers and wolves, it is really not easy to keep up to this day. As a veteran of the three dynasties, the minister should ensure that the blood of the royal family is pure. Today, if the old minister takes the risk of the world, he must ask His Majesty. His Majesty is a Mingjun, but Can Your Majesty afford the word ‘Mingjun’?”
As soon as these words came out, the hall was not in an uproar, but stunned!
This this!
Earlier, even in the hall, I had thought that Kou Guogui’s words were amazing, and this hall would definitely not be peaceful, but no one thought that these words from Kou Guogong’s mouth would be so amazing!
Simply, simply…
Many of the people in the hall are family members, where have you seen such a battle!
Even if it is not a family member, even the officials in the court are stunned, where is this singing?
If you can’t afford Mingjun, is this blatantly challenging the emperor?
There is also the sentence of the blood of the royal family and the great injustice of the world, which makes people sensitive and speculate!
No one in the hall knew how Kou Guogong would end. To be precise, he should have no idea how the emperor would end with this hot potato!
An old official from the three dynasties, and also a grandfather of the country, is quite tricky.
Dai Jingjie was also startled. In addition to being responsible for security inspections, the Imperial Guard was also responsible for possible conflicts in the hall. Right now, Kou Guogong may have a conflict here!
Dai Jingjie looked at the emperor, as if thinking of something, and seeing that the emperor was not in a hurry or annoyed, he calmly said, “Kou Guogong has something to say, why can’t I afford it?”
Today, there are hundreds of officials and family members in the hall. When Kou Guogong said this, they all thought that the emperor would be so embarrassed and angry, but he never expected the emperor to be so open-minded, let alone so calm.
And Kou Guogong really continued, “Your Majesty, this royal family’s surname is Chen…”
Chen Ling smiled and said, “Isn’t my surname Chen?”
“Your Majesty is Xing Chen, but what about the Crown Prince?”
As soon as these words were said, the hall was like a frying pan. What Kou Guogong said was like setting off a stormy sea in the hall. The boat that was on the verge of falling in the hearts of everyone before seemed to be overturned by the storm and the huge waves in an instant, and it sank. write.
Ning Rutao also looked at Kou Guogong, frowning slightly, and then looked at the Emperor in surprise.
It was Fang Siping who spoke up, “Kou Guogong said carefully, today is the first feast of the first day of the new year, and these are outrageous words, even if Kou Guogong drank a few more cups today, he is old and slightly drunk, but as a veteran of the three dynasties, don’t you know anything? When to say, what is inappropriate to say?”
After Fang Siping’s reminder, the hall also reacted. That’s right, Kou Guogong drank too much and was getting older, so he started talking nonsense.
The hall calmed down.
But Kou Guogong continued, “Yes, as an old minister of the three dynasties, he naturally knows what to say and what not to say. But he is so cautious about what he should say and what he should not sit in. Shouldn’t he be more cautious?”
Kou Guogong’s words silenced the hall.
Fang Siping was also stunned.
Kou Guogong continued, “The old minister is only old, but his eyes are not blind, his heart is not muddled, and if the name is not right, his words are not going well. If your majesty’s words and deeds are correct, why should you be afraid of the old minister’s words? If your majesty is a woman, she should not sit on the seat. This throne. When the surname of Yan Korea was changed from Zhao to Chen, it was because the emperor had no children, so it was His Majesty’s grandfather who inherited the throne. But there are still two princes, Prince Xian and Prince Yuan, under the former emperor, how can the royal blood be mixed up?”
The hall was no longer silent, but everyone held their breath and dared not speak.
female, female…
Immediately, everyone in the hall had their own thoughts, but they all dared to think too much.
Above the hall, the Son of Heaven said, “Kou Guogong, I respect you because the late emperor taught me to treat courtiers with kindness, especially old ones. No matter whether I am in the East Palace or after I ascend the throne, I have always respected you. You. But Kou Guogong, are you going beyond what you said today?”
As soon as the Son of Heaven said this, his majesty only increased.
Kou Guogong continued, “If Your Majesty is afraid of overstepping, you can verify your identity. The old minister will not say anything after that, but…”
Before Kou Guogong finished speaking, Sheng Wenyu slapped the table on the banquet table with a slap. The hall trembled and turned their eyes, only to see Sheng Wenyu slap the table and stand up, “Joke, test the emperor, who gave you courage!”
“You!” Kou Guogong was annoyed.
Sheng Wenyu put his hand on the saber deliberately, and looked at Kou Guogong.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense.
Sheng Wenyu continued, “Today, just based on a sentence of non-existent words, we have to test the emperor. What else is there to dare to do in the future! The emperor is a king, you are a minister, what are your intentions!”
“Sheng Wenyu! Yellow mouth child!” Kou Guogong was so angry that he quickly stroked his heart.
“When the late emperor was there, would you dare to say that you wanted to test the late emperor’s great treason?”
Kou Guogong froze!
When the hall was silent, Chen Xian slowly entered, took off his cloak, and whispered, “Why, Chen Ling, you are so guilty that you dare not let anyone know your identity?”
