The five hundred and fifty-ninth chapter of the ceremony
Regarding the fact that Ye An, a civil servant who had made the Northwest Dangxiang talk a disgrace, did not appear at the prisoner presentation hall, both the court officials and the onlookers were a little puzzled.
It's okay for you to be low-key, but you can't be so low-key!
After all, as a deputy envoy to comfort the body, or as a civil servant who has made great achievements in leading troops in wars, he should appear at the prisoner presentation ceremony. Excessively low-key is not low-key, but is seeking fame and reputation, and at the same time it is also hurting others' face.
.
No one knew why Ye An didn't come. Even Fan Yong was shocked that Ye An's self-destruction method was too drastic. As for Cao Yi, before the ceremony started, he asked Chen Lin, who was the supervisor, if there was anyone there.
Deliberately suppressing Ye An.
But Chen Lin did not answer his question, but remained silent with a dead expression, which made Cao Yi, who was originally angry, calm down instantly. Who can attack Ye An?
Civil servants are not that stupid. Military generals will not offend a lonely minister who can speak for them for no reason. As for the clan and relatives... they will never offend Ye An. After all, there are officials supporting him behind him.
After much deliberation, there was only one person left. Cao Yi carefully glanced at Feng Jia behind the beaded curtain in front of Xuande Gate. I was afraid that only Liu E could attack Ye An unscrupulously.
But this makes even more sense! Liu E secretly supported Ye An at the beginning. To her, Ye An’s contribution is the greatest, so why is she trying to suppress Ye An now?!
When Cao Yi's political wisdom was "down," he saw Fan Yong not far away with a dull expression. He apologized to Chen Lin beside him and walked over.
The main hall is about to begin, but some preparations need to be made before that, so Cao Yi plans to use this time to ask Fan Yong for clarification.
But after approaching Fan Yong, the old man didn't give him a chance to speak. He waved his hand and said: "If you are looking for immortality, then don't look for it. This is his way of protecting himself. You don't want him to be in the court."
Are you going to stumble? Since he didn't come, he did it deliberately, so why bother looking for him? Do you think it was the saint who didn't let him come? The saint can do this?"
Cao Yi's head suddenly shook like a rattle. It was really like this. If Ye An wanted to come, no one could stop him. Even if the saint wanted to suppress him, he still had to care about his reputation...
Holding back her blush, Cao Yi could only say: "Then why didn't you come?! A man has made great achievements and is not afraid of dying in battle. Why should he be afraid of those monsters?"
Fan Yong smiled strangely, stared at Cao Yi for a long time and said: "You are a true-tempered man. Among the generals of the Cao family... you are the only one who can be compared with Baochen... What a joy, a joy!
It’s a pity that he has the same temperament as your uncle, he is straightforward and doesn’t know how to reason! This is retreat in order to advance!”
"Retreat in order to advance?" Cao Yi scratched the helmet on his head. He didn't understand why Ye An wanted to retreat in order to advance. If he retreated, he would retreat. How could he advance?
At this time, even Fan Yong didn't know about his retreat in the air. When he arrived at Ye An's place, he completely retreated and abandoned his official position. So when Chen Lin slowly moved over and whispered: "Ye Hou entered yesterday.
Palace, after contradicting the saint, he hung up his crown and left, so he never came today..."
Chen Lin's words left Cao Yi and Fan Yong stunned. They dressed up as saints and left with their crowns on their heads?
Even with Cao Yi's rough nerves, he should have known what the problem was, and couldn't help but murmured: "This kid is planning to become a Confucian scholar and a saint! Just hang up his crown and leave? Fortunately, he can think of it! If he returns to the court again, he won't be able to do it."
Being sprayed into a leaky pot?!"
Chen Lin snorted: "Vulgar and vulgar!"
"My old Cao is a warrior in the army. He is not so polite. I just know that he, Ye An, is a god with soldiers and a man of real ability. Among civil servants, I admire him! If he is no longer in the court.
, Hey... I, Old Cao, don’t even want to fight in the future!”
Cao Yi immediately revealed Ye An's role. Both Chen Lin and Fan Yong knew that Ye An was very capable, and even a saint could not deny this.
However, Chen Lin already knew about the conversation between the saint and Ye An from Lan Jizong. Considering Ye An's arrogant attitude, it was considered good that he was not punished for the crime of deceiving the emperor.
As the bells and drums at Xuande Gate rang in unison, Zhao Zhen and Liu E also came to the imperial stage in costumes. Zhao Zhen was wearing a Dagon crown and a crown of heaven, while Liu E was wearing the Queen Mother's attire, which was not inappropriate.
But Fan Yong heard from his familiar colleagues that before this, the saint had a plan to serve as emperor, but it was strongly rejected by Lu Yijian.
There was a quarrel over this, but because of Lu Yijian's firm attitude and the last bottom line of the civil servants, Liu E did not succeed.
Every time she thought of this, Fan Yong was afraid. If Liu E used the emperor's clothes to view the army and accepted the prisoners, then... what would that mean to the real emperor? No matter what high-sounding excuses she used, she could not hide the ambition in her heart.
.
Looking at Liu E who had removed the bead curtain on the stage, Fan Yong felt a shiver in his heart. He finally understood why Ye An wanted to hide far away. The Song Dynasty is the most dangerous now, and there is about to be a new enemy in the court.
Let’s have a storm!
Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng, the bitter enemies, were able to put aside their old grudges and join forces to fight against Liu E, which shows that her strength has begun to show signs of breaking through the constraints.
I'm afraid even the two husbands don't have any confidence in their hearts, right?
The prisoner presentation ceremony began. The officials of the Ministry of Rites had just finished reciting a long ceremonial speech. Before the music could be played, they saw an official dressed as a civil servant walking forward quickly. He gave a big gift to the high platform and at the same time took out a memorial from his sleeve.
Read aloud: "The majestic power of Heaven is supplemented by the Song Dynasty, the benevolence of the saints, and the emperor Zhang Ming! The country is prosperous, but the foreign barbarians are declining. This is a sign from the sky!"
This was obviously praising the saint and the official. When everyone took a closer look, they found that this person was Li Di, a political official. Because he was a guest of the prince when the official was in his residence, the saint would treat him as a minister when the official succeeded to the throne.
Although his position is rarely in Zhongshu, he is also dispatched by the Minister of Rites.
He was the one who organized the prisoner presentation ceremony, which was really safe, but no one expected that the ceremony went well. He actually stood up and flattered us, which was really surprising.
But after all, he was saying good things about himself. Liu E smiled and raised her hands slightly: "Li Fuzhu, get up! What are you doing?"
Instead of getting up, Li Di continued: "Sage, wait a minute, I will allow you to finish reciting this memorial! The saint has the important task of assisting the country, and his contributions will last for a long time. However, officials are not children in their infancy. They have quite rules when it comes to political affairs and conduct.
, he is a benevolent and virtuous king, and I, Li Di, ask the saint to return to the government official’s house!”
Wow... The surrounding courtiers were in an uproar. No one thought that Li Di had been praising him for a long time just to return the saint to the government. This move was beyond everyone's expectations.
Even Fan Yong lowered his voice and exclaimed: "Li Di is crazy?!"
The surrounding imperial troops were stunned. They did not expect that Li Di's attitude had changed so much, and they did not know what to do. After all, what this desperate civil servant said was correct. What was important was that even Li Zunxu, the man closest to him, was
General Zuo Longwuwei did not give the order.
The originally lively scene suddenly fell silent. This strange silence made people feel chills behind their backs. No one knew what Liu E would do.
Only Li Zunxu looked at Li Di and whispered: "Li Zuosi! Why do you need to talk about this matter here? It is out of order for a grand ceremony of the country!"
Li Di didn't turn around and said: "In the 28th year of the official family, even the ordinary people should tie up their hair and go to university, learn great skills and behave with dignity!"
