Chapter 9 The disturbance at the court meeting(1/2)
Xu Yan is still a salty fish after all!
I originally thought about getting up early to attend the morning pilgrimage and see the excitement, but I didn't expect to accidentally oversleep.
The morning start time is usually around 5 o'clock every day, which was around 5 o'clock in the past life, which is earlier than the hard-working high school students. Most people really can't bear it, let alone people like Xu Yan.
I like people who sleep late.
Fortunately, except for some major court meetings, the Yu Dynasty did not require the vassal king to be present at the usual morning court meetings. It can be said that whether Xu Yan goes or not depends entirely on his mood.
Compared with the sleepless nights on the first night of the wedding, Xu Yan surprisingly slept very comfortably tonight. The discomfort of sleeping with others also disappeared.
"Gu, it's still suitable to be a salted fish, sleep more, and bask in the sun. Such complicated things in the court are not suitable for Gu!"
Stretching out, she let Lin Youqing fiddle with her clothes. This girl was not very skilled, but she strongly requested to help Xu Yan dress. Xu Yan couldn't resist her, so he let her do it.
Muxue, who was originally in charge of dressing, had to change her hair. Men's hair in ancient times was indeed troublesome, but Xu Yan didn't need to do it himself, just stay still.
"What an evil feudal society!"
“Comfortable!”
If you can't go, then don't go. I'll find out what happened in the morning when I find out later.
After a night of adjustment, Lin Youqing's mood relaxed a lot.
The little girl’s mother was not buried in the Lin family’s ancestral grave, so how could a concubine be qualified to enter the ancestral grave?
The Lin family was just outside the city. They found a quiet place and buried them without even a decent funeral.
When they were in the Lin family, in order not to cause trouble, the Lin family did not let Lin Youqing go there after she was buried, and kept her in the courtyard until she was married.
Fortunately, Lin Youqing's personal maid's son has been there several times and knows the way. She has also served Lin Youqing's own mother, and both mother and daughter are very good.
When the vassal king leaves the city, he needs to report to the emperor. However, Xu Yan does not need to go there in person. He only needs to find someone to go to the palace and inform him.
Led by Zhi'er, the group soon arrived at Lin Youqing's mother's grave.
It is said to be a tomb, but there is not even a tombstone, just a raised mound.
The soil is still new, with bits of green appearing on it, bursting with new life.
Life is not necessarily the end, it can also be a new beginning.
Xu Yan glanced at Lin Youqing and found that this girl had no expression on her face, kneeling calmly in front of the grave, looking at it dreamily. It was a huge contrast from yesterday's crying and crying.
"Something's wrong, it shouldn't be like this!"
It was difficult to ask now, so Xu Yan could only suppress the doubts in his heart.
After all, Xu Yan’s mother-in-law is also buried in this grave. How could there not even be a monument?
Xu Yan plans to find someone to erect a monument immediately after he returns.
Mu Xue and Zhi'er stepped forward and put down the incense paper offerings they brought one by one.
Xu Yan also burned a stick of incense. Although he had never met him, he still had the awe he should have.
After kneeling for a while, Lin Youqing kowtowed three more times before getting up.
There is an inexplicable smile on the calm face, as if everything has been put away.
He looked at Xu Yan with a smile and said softly: "Husband, let's go back!"
Xu Yan paused and said, "Okay!"
As soon as he returned home, Xu Yan got the news about today's morning meeting.
The court was the core of the entire Yu Dynasty. What happened would soon spread throughout the country, and it was easy for Xu Yan to find out the news.
As Xu Qingyao said, the memorial was delivered to Emperor Shunxing. After reading it, Emperor Shunxing said nothing and asked the eunuch to read it to the ministers.
Lin Mofu and his father Lin Yimin had no reaction at all. They seemed to have expected it and remained silent, while the officials below could not sit still.
The Marquis of Wuchang, the only Nine Realm warrior in Dayu and the pillar of the country, is involved in treason like smuggling iron weapons, which is a serious matter.
Officials of the Lin family, the so-called Lin Party, spoke out one after another, saying that Gu Zhilong was a loyal minister of the country and could not possibly do such treasonous things.
One after another, everyone stood up to vouch for Gu Zhilong.
Suddenly, the number of people speaking for Gu Zhilong accounted for most of the court officials, which looked quite spectacular.
As for the aristocratic family, no one spoke from the beginning to the end, watching the performance of this group of people indifferently.
They should all have given their support in advance.
Sometimes, not speaking is the most correct choice. The more you speak, the more mistakes you make.
Emperor Shunxing did not stop him and listened to Lin Dang's suggestions with interest.
Seeing more and more people jumping out, Lin Mofu realized the seriousness of the problem. He took two steps forward and stood in the center, facing Emperor Shunxing.
When the ministers saw Lin Mofu's appearance, they became quiet.
"Your Majesty, whether the Marquis of Wuchang is guilty or not is not decided by ministers, but by Your Majesty. Your Majesty also requests that Gu Zhilong be recalled to Beijing and handed over to Dali Temple for trial!"
Hearing this, Emperor Shunxing smiled and said domineeringly: "The Marquis of Wuchang is the Dinghai Shenzhen of Dayu. I have never doubted his character. However, in order to calm the hearts of the people in the world, I followed Lin Qing's words and summoned him.
He will come back to find out clearly. He will also bring justice to the Marquis of Wuchang and let those who spread rumors die!"
The decree means that the Lin family loses this time.
When Gu Zhilong returns to Beijing, it is still unknown how the case will be investigated and whether he will survive.
Even if nothing was found in the end, Gu Zhilong had no chance to leave and go to Beijing. He was completely cut off from the 100,000-strong army in the north.
Xu Yan also saw another meaning of Xu Qingyao.
The memorial is just an introduction, the real purpose is to lure Lin Dang to come out to intercede for Gu Zhilong.
According to Emperor Shunxing's suspicious temperament, seeing the Lin Party being so powerful, he would be a little more suspicious. In this way, the possibility of Gu Zhilong surviving is even lower.
Party struggle and fighting for heirs are actually the same. If you make one wrong step, you will be doomed.
Xu Yan regretted not going this morning even more. It was a pity that he missed such a good show.
At noon, Chen Wu suddenly came back and said he was looking for Xu Yan.
Xu Yan, who was sunbathing in the courtyard, was very unhappy. This Chen Wu had always been very beautiful in his work, so why did he always get into trouble recently?
He kicked Chen Wu on the butt and knocked Chen Wu to the ground.
"Your Highness, the troublemaker is here again and threatens to see you!"
Xu Yan didn't have much strength, and Chen Wu didn't feel much, but he didn't dare to wipe the dust off his butt and knelt on the ground in fear.
He really had no choice but to come to Xu Yan.
For some reason, the kid who caused the trouble stopped drinking at the restaurant today and only ordered a few dishes of side dishes.
Thinking about His Highness's words, Chen Wu ignored him and served him the food according to the boy's wishes.
After taking a bite, he spat it out and asked Chen Wu if he had mixed rice into the dish and wanted to poison him?
Chen Wu endured it and had no intention of arguing with him.
It's a pity that Chen Wu's patience didn't work. The boy pushed even further and even got worse. He kept nagging in front of Chen Wu and asked Chen Wu to cook again.
He even asked to go to the kitchen in person and said he wanted to teach the chef how to cook.
Can outsiders enter the kitchen at will?
Chen Wu finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked the man to go back to his house and ask the guards to teach him a lesson.
I thought he would run away like before, but what I didn't expect was that he sat calmly waiting in the restaurant without any intention of running away.
Three guards from the four realms came to the house, but none of them were his match. They were all defeated with one move.
Chen Wu wanted to find someone more powerful to teach him a lesson, but two guards from the Fifth Realm in the mansion were always following Xu Yan.
We can only come to Xu Yan.
Xu Yan had a headache. What kind of ranger would dare to fight even the guards of the county and prince's palace? The security level in the capital is really worrying!
"It seems that we need to find an opportunity to talk to His Majesty and let him take care of it!"
Just as he was thinking about it, Xu Yan was interrupted by an exclamation.
"Your Highness, be careful!"
One of the guards behind him suddenly drew his sword and jumped onto the roof.
Another guard quickly ran over to protect Xu Yan.
As soon as the guard reached the roof, he was kicked down before he could stand firmly.
Only then did Xu Yan see a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old standing on the roof.
The young man has long flowing hair, and his white clothes are as white as snow. He is so handsome and elegant, so elegant.
"It turns out that the person behind Zui Qingfeng is you! You are handsome in appearance, and I am half as good as you. It's a pity that you are not a warrior, so it doesn't make much sense."
The first time we met, I posted a review. How rude!
Xu Yan's impression score for this guy dropped to zero.
To be continued...
