Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 235

The snow is falling one after another, and the weather is getting colder and colder, but it can't stop people's beaming smiles.

The New Year's Eve is approaching, whether it is ordinary people or high-ranking officials, they all have to buy new year's goods, visit relatives and friends, and the excitement is tight.

At this time, the capital became more and more prosperous. There were all kinds of hawkers and shops with flags, and it was overwhelming.

However, when buying new year's goods, many ordinary people are surprised to find that the market prices of various things this year are about [-]% higher than in previous years.

In the capital city, there are many more luxurious carriage teams than in previous years.

In front of Zhengyang Gate.

Unlike in the past where people were allowed to come and go freely, at this moment Zhengyang Gate has been completely martial law by a team.

In front of the main gate, stood a dozen or so officials dressed in various robes. The north wind blew on their faces, and the common people who came and went wore fur hats.

However, these pampered elders stood awe-inspiring, and their official robes were extremely neat, as if they were waiting for something.

At the front, two people were dressed in scarlet official robes, and one was dressed in ordinary eunuch clothes, standing quietly, not far away were many onlookers.

The common people in the capital have seen quite a lot of world.

These days, many dignitaries and dignitaries have come to the capital, and they have seen a lot of welcoming scenes.

However, it is really rare for such an old man in scarlet robe to greet him.

The so-called layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

Most of the common people know that the person wearing the scarlet official robe is the most powerful figure in the court, but if other court officials are here, they will really understand how big this battle is.

Of the two elders in scarlet official robes, one is Yang Shan, Minister of Honglu Temple, and the other is Hu Wei, Minister of Rites of Shaofu.

As for the person in the eunuch's robe, it was none other than Shu Liang, the admiral and eunuch of the East Factory who had recently become famous in the capital!

The whistling north wind subsided a bit, and the sun in the sky slowly climbed to the top of people's heads, but there was no one who the elders were waiting for.

Hu Yi looked up at the sky, turned sideways and asked, "What time is it?"

Immediately, a small official followed and replied: "Uncle Da Zong, there are still two quarters of an hour, and it will be noon."

Hearing this, Yang Shan, Minister of Honghe Temple, said.

"Elder Uncle, we have been waiting for most of the morning, and the prince may not arrive for a while. The officials have already ordered people to prepare the food and drink, why don't we go eat first?"

While talking, the little officials on the side all made stomach rumbling sounds.

They are all subordinates of Honglu Temple or the Ministry of Rites. They have been very busy during this time, but early this morning, Uncle Da Zong took them and said that he would come to the gate of the city to meet the nobleman, but it turned out that it was almost noon, this nobleman not yet.

From morning till now, they hadn't even had a single drop of water. Hearing Yang Shan's words at this moment, they couldn't help but look eagerly at Hu Wei who could make the decision.

This Great Uncle, Yu Xia has always been kind and kind, thinking about it, he wouldn't be so unkind...

On the other side, Shu Liang was also moved and said.

"Uncle Uncle, it is indeed almost noon at our house, and the people below are all hungry. I am afraid that we will make a joke when we welcome the nobleman in this state. Why don't we go to eat first, and continue to greet you when we come back?"

Faced with so many people's proposals, Mr. Hu Wei raised his eyelids and said.

"If you want to go, you can go, the old man can still hold on."

This……

A group of officials and petty officials were suddenly stunned.

Uncle Da Zong said so, but the meaning of refusal was extremely obvious.

His old man's dignified Qiqing are still here to welcome them, how dare they go to eat, is it possible that they are more valuable than Da Zongbo?

But that was the idea of ​​the officials below. Shu Liang, who was directly rejected, felt a faint displeasure in his heart.

After all, he is the admiral and eunuch of the East Factory, so it's too embarrassing for Mr. Hu to open his mouth like this.

Hu Yan seemed to have noticed this too, reached out and brushed off the folds of his robe, looked Shu Liang up and down, and said calmly.

"Speaking of which, the old man is very curious about one thing. If I remember correctly, Eunuch Shu has a boa robe bestowed by His Majesty. Why didn't you see Eunuch Shu wearing it today?"

Shu Liang was slightly taken aback, but did not speak.

After he was promoted to the admiral of Dongchang, the emperor specially gave him a navy blue gold-woven three-clawed python robe as a show of favor.

Usually, he regards it as a gift from the emperor, so he often wears it, but not every day, so it is actually a bit strange for Hu Wei to ask this question.

But Shu Liang knew that people like him would never ask a question for no reason.

As for the answer to this question, of course...

"You go to greet a person on my behalf. Remember, this person is not an ordinary clan. The etiquette must be thoughtful and courteous. In addition, this person is very respectful of the ancestral system, and may not have a good attitude towards eunuchs. Remember, don't have beyond."

This is what the emperor specially asked him before he left the palace today.

It was precisely because of this sentence that Shu Liang came here wearing a plain robe of an ordinary servant.

As soon as he thought of this, the trace of dissatisfaction in Shu Liang's heart disappeared immediately.

The emperor didn't tell him who he was going to meet. He only knew it was a prince, but he didn't know who it was.

However, after looking at the waiting battle again, Shu Liang raised his spirits in his heart.

This time the clan's entry into Beijing was jointly prepared and arranged by the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple, but there was also a division of labor between the two.

Specifically, the Ministry of Rites is mainly responsible for formulating plans, and Honglu Temple is responsible for execution, running errands, and doing chores.

These days, some princes also came to Beijing, but without exception, Honglu Temple was responsible for welcoming them.

Ordinary Fuguo generals, Honglu Temple also sent a small official to greet them.

A formal ceremony will be prepared at the level of the county king. Generally speaking, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple will come out to welcome him.

When the prince arrives in Beijing, he is usually greeted by Yang Shan, Minister of Honglu Temple.

In such a battle, the big uncle of labor Hu Wei went out in person, and he waited for a whole morning.

Shu Liang let out a sigh of relief, and had some vague guesses about the identity of the visitor.

The emperor didn't tell him who it was, only that it was a prince.

But the only one who can let Hu Wei go out to greet him in person is probably the only one...

A group of people slowly appeared in the distance.

A team of about 300 people came slowly from a distance, travel-stained, but could not conceal the meaning of dignity.

In the center is a huge carriage, the whole body is luxurious, embellished with gold and jade.

Several large carts followed behind, containing more than a dozen large boxes, which should be the daily things that the nobles carry.

The team walked slowly, within [-] paces, anyone who approached would be immediately driven away by the guards.

This is a royal guard of honor.

There are a hundred guards at the head, and about a hundred guards at the rear.

Right at the front of the team, a king flag with the word "Min" was raised high, fiercely in the wind.

Following the carriage, there were also hundreds of servants and maidservants, but except for the groom who drove the carriage, no one was riding in the carriage.

Even after the dozen or so large cars were filled with boxes, there was still a lot of space.

Seeing this scene, Shu Liang gasped.

What a big stage.

He remembered who this person was.

From the Ming Dynasty to now, there are more than [-] princes and more than [-] county kings, all kinds of titles are dazzling.

Earlier, I only heard Yang Shan mention the title, so I didn't react.

Now that he saw such a big battle, he remembered who it was.

King Min!

No.18 son of Emperor Taizu, taboo.

The great-uncle of His Majesty is also the only surviving descendant of the Great Ancestor among the existing clans!
