(Everyone, why can’t I see your advice in the comment section? Are you still a loyal minister of the palace?)
In the worship hall, Zhao Yanxun was still kneeling on the futon.
He was well aware of what was going on outside, and the way things had developed to this point, although it didn't seem so perfect, was within his acceptance range.
At this moment, Zhao Yanxun couldn't help but wonder if he was being too pretentious, feeling a bit both responsible and independent.
"Your Majesty, please see me!"
Hearing the report outside, Zhao Yanxun was silent for a moment and then said: "Please come in!"
Outside the main gate of the sacrificial hall, Xue Baoyun personally carried the food box, crossed the threshold and entered the main hall.
In the middle of the main hall, the spiritual throne of Emperor Taizu is enshrined, and on the left and right are the ancestors of the past emperors enshrined according to the Zhaomu system.
"Your Majesty, please come this way!" Huo An prompted.
The shrine of Emperor Tai'an is located on the far right side of the ancestral temple, so Xue Baoyun still has to walk a few more steps.
Arriving outside the hall on the far left, Xue Baoyun saw Zhao Yanxun's back.
I saw her putting down her food box and slowly kneeling outside the threshold of the hall.
"I, my concubine, come to see the prince!"
Zhao Yanxun did not move at all and said calmly: "My beloved concubine is here!"
"Your Majesty has not eaten for two days. I was worried about your health, so I forced myself into the ancestral temple... Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Hearing this, Zhao Yanxun turned around and looked at Xue Baoyun, who was ten feet away.
"What's wrong with my beloved concubine!"
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yanxun said to Huo An: "Bring a mat in for the princess!"
"yes!"
After Huo An answered, he quickly ordered someone to bring the cushions. He took them into the hall himself and placed them at the back of Zhao Yanxun's right side.
"My beloved concubine... come in and kowtow to your father, the emperor, mother and concubine!"
"yes!"
This time, Xue Baoyun did not carry the food box, but followed Zhao Yanxun's wishes, walked into the hall, and knelt down next to her husband.
"My son, my concubine, comes to see my father, the emperor, my mother and my concubine..."
Facing the spiritual tablet on the shrine, Xue Baoyun respectfully kowtowed three times with a pious and sad expression.
"Did you bring something to eat?"
Xue Baoyun replied: "Your Majesty has not eaten for two days, how can I sit idly by and ignore him?"
Zhao Yanxun smiled and asked: "There has been a lot of commotion these past two days, but Hong'er still slept peacefully!"
Xue Baoyun replied: "I can take good care of Hong'er, but I'm just worried about the prince!"
"I'm fine, you don't have to worry!"
"I, my concubine, serve the prince and have something to eat!"
After saying that, Xue Baojun waved to Huo An outside the hall and said at the same time: "How dare you damage your body, hair and skin, which you have received from your parents... If the prince doesn't eat, the spirits of my father, emperor, mother and concubine will not be at ease in heaven!"
With Xue Baoyun's words, it makes no sense for Zhao Yanxun not to eat.
After not eating for two days, Zhao Yanxun was indeed a little hungry even though his body could hold up.
His body has been strengthened by the system, which does not mean that he can go on hunger strike for a long time, but it is just that he can resist it better than ordinary people.
Huo An wisely carried the box into the hall and helped Xue Baoyun take out the things from the food box.
This is the ancestral temple. Eating here is not to mention how strange the scene is.
Of course, Zhao Yanxun didn't care about this, and Xue Baoyun wouldn't say much.
"Your Majesty, give this..."
Sitting on the futon, Zhao Yanxun took the bowl and chopsticks handed over by Xue Baojun and started eating slowly.
Being able to persuade Zhao Yanxun to eat gave Xue Baoyun a sense of accomplishment.
"Your Majesty, just now the ministers asked me to bring in a memorial..."
"Um...where?"
"In the hands of the attendants outside the palace!"
Xue Baoyun did not directly contact the memorial given by the foreign minister to avoid suspicion, but asked the accompanying eunuch to hold it.
While cooking, Zhao Yanxun said to Huo An outside the hall: "Bring it in!"
"yes!"
After a while, Huo An walked in from outside the hall, holding a neatly folded memorial in his hand.
Huo An was about to submit it to the hall when he heard Zhao Yanxun say: "Read..."
"As you command!"
Huo An had done a lot of reading memorials. After receiving the order, he opened the memorials and read them loudly.
"Shi Chengwenguang, the right-hand minister of the ministers, Shi Chengwenguang, together with the officials of the two yamen, expressed their sincerity and fear, and bowed their heads to express their sincerity..."
Seeing that Zhao Yanxun was only focused on eating, Huo An continued to read: "The Weilong traitor forced the palace to kill the king, usurped the throne, and lost all conscience. Everyone will kill him..."
"Since the rebels and thieves stole the country, they have acted perversely. God is angry, natural disasters have continued, ghosts are rampant, the land of China has been devastated, and both the government and the public are raging..."
Cheng Wenguang did a good job of forcing the outbreak of zombies on Zhao Weilong... Zhao Yanxun thought to himself.
"Today, the ancestral temple is in danger of collapse, and the state is in danger of overthrowing..."
"Chen Guan's "Ancestral Instructions" says: 'If there are no honest ministers in the dynasty, and there is evil in the government, then the prince will train troops to bring them to justice!'
This sentence is really the ancestral teaching of the Jin Dynasty, but no one has ever mentioned it after Taizong, and it has been essentially abolished.
The kings trained their troops to fight against him, but the vassal kings after Taizong lost the ice fist, and the prerequisite for training their troops to fight against him was gone.
Only Zhao Yanxun was an outlier and used the system to pull up the troops, otherwise it would be impossible for the cavalry to seize power.
Immediately afterwards, Huo An continued to read: "The former emperor often said: No one is as benevolent and filial as King Yong, and if you have civil and military talents, you can take care of the country, and I am the one who cares!"
Hearing this sentence, Zhao Yanxun almost choked to death on his rice.
The emperor's father said this? Why didn't he know? Cheng Wenguang really knows how to cause trouble.
"When the late emperor pursued the title of His Highness, he personally drafted the canonization edict. He also considered what he said: The one who will secure the country in the future must be King Yong!"
Hearing this, even Xue Baoyun became confused.
The late emperor was thousands of miles away. When he wrote the edict in person, could it be that Cheng Wenguang was watching from the side? Otherwise, how could he know what the emperor said.
The only one who can secure the country in the future is King Yong. This flattery sounds comfortable... Zhao Yanxun thought to himself.
Huo An had no time to pay attention to the changes in the expressions of Zhao Yanxun and his wife, only to hear him continue to read: "Since His Majesty came to the vassal state, he has inherited the heaven and good deeds, protected the people, attacked ghosts externally, cultivated people's livelihood internally, and made the people live in peace, and everyone has praised the king.
also……"
Although this statement may sound flattering, it is also true. Everyone, including civil and military officials and civilians in the two northwest counties, praised Zhao Yanxun.
"Only my Highness, who has inherited the destiny of heaven, has the dignity of a prince, and is loved by both inside and outside. The tiger and wolf masters under his command are ready to be ready, and the monarch, ministers and people are united..."
After a pause, Huo An's tone became louder and he said: "His Highness, I will look at the brightness of the sun and the moon, fight against the thunder and lightning, and send out my virtuous voice. I want to get rid of this evil to purge the imperial court, to protect the Yong'an clan, and to protect our vassal.
To protect the people with blessings..."
Hearing this, Zhao Yanxun had already put down his bowls and chopsticks to express the importance he attached to the memorial.
"This is a serious matter. I hope that Your Highness will live up to the expectations of the ministers and the trust of the people... bring order to the chaos and eliminate the traitors. Put an end to the civil strife in the Jin Dynasty and restore peace to the common people!"
"This is not the blessing of an independent minister, but the blessing of the country and the world!"
After reading this, the main text of the memorial has come to an end, and Huo An put away the spread memorial.
What follows is the signatures of the officials, so there is no need to continue reading.
"Bring me the memorial!"
After getting up and walking into the hall, Huo An knelt down and came two steps away from Zhao Yanxun. He respectfully handed the memorial to Zhao Yanxun.
After receiving the memorial, Zhao Yanxun opened it and looked at it, mainly looking at the names of the joint officials.
Cheng Wenguang won't go into details, but the names of Hetai, Chen Anming, Ding Yan, and Xu An will be mentioned later.
Only, Zhao Yanxun didn't see Zhou Chengping's name.
Thinking of Lin Quan's previous report, Zhao Yanxun felt a little uncomfortable, but he finally suppressed his anger.
Business is pressing now, so Zhao Yanxun closed the memorial and sighed: "Cheng Qing is a truly loyal and upright person..."
Hearing this, Xue Baoyun on the side couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, the ministers want to see Zhizhu, but they are still kneeling outside Fengxian's gate..."
"If the prince doesn't see you, wouldn't he... betray their loyalty!"
Xue Baoyun was taking a huge risk by saying these words at this moment, at least she thought so, so she was very cautious with her words.
It was precisely these words that made Zhao Yanxun step down.
Just listen to him sigh: "Yes... they are also loyal!"
Taking a long breath, Zhao Yanxun said slowly: "Gu... go see Gu's loyal ministers!"
