imperial concubine

Chapter 71

The sound of footsteps outside the door came so fast that even the little eunuch at the door didn't have time to report. It wasn't until the man entered the Wenhua Palace that the little eunuch at the door said tremblingly: "Your Majesty is here, and everyone kneels to welcome him!"

The person who came in from outside the door was wearing a golden five-clawed dragon robe and a nine-fold cloud crown on his head. His small eyes were piercing, and there was a ray of determination under his chin. He had a gentle smile on his face. It was Chen Chaojin. Emperor, Emperor Chongwen!
When everyone in the hall saw Emperor Chongwen coming in, they quickly knelt down on the ground and shouted in unison, "I have seen you!" Emperor Chongwen walked up to the throne in the middle with a smile, and then said with a smile: "You don't have to be like this , get up quickly."

When Emperor Chongwen came in just now, although Su Wan did a kneeling position, her knees did not touch the ground.This is the king of Ruyang who should kneel down when he saw him in the past.Even if things are changed now, how can I bow down to my enemy?
So after hearing Emperor Chongwen's words, Su Wan immediately got up and stood up.Fortunately, everyone stood up at this time, so it didn't appear that Su Wan's behavior was extremely abrupt.

Yun Jingya walked to the side of the throne, and asked with a happy smile on her face: "Father, didn't you say that you are busy with government affairs and have no time to come to the Wenhua Palace to participate in the Sutra Banquet? Why did you suddenly appear in the Wenhua Palace today? Did you come to supervise I waited?"

Emperor Chongwen had only been on the throne for three years, and he was able to hold the throne firmly with the authority of soldiers. Therefore, in the past three years, Emperor Chongwen has been very diligent, managing the government day and night, and gradually stabilized the hard-earned country.

Looking at his daughter, Emperor Chongwen stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Today's political affairs are over. Although there are still some papers that have not been reviewed, they are all trivial matters. It doesn't matter if you delay for a while. So I asked Fang Aiqing to come with me." Take a look at the Wenhua Palace."

Just now when Emperor Chongwen entered the house, Su Wan only saw this bloody enemy who ruined his family, but he never noticed that the current Prime Minister Fang Yuanli was following behind Emperor Chongwen.

Su Wan, who was sitting in her seat, sneered. She never thought that her two enemies could meet together today!If Fang Yuanli hadn't betrayed him back then and poisoned his father and queen mother, how could King Ruyang easily lead an army into Beijing to force the palace?

If King Ruyang hadn't used Qi Ruobing as a lure three years ago to lure Fang Yuanli into a double heart, how could his father, queen and queen have ended up like that?Why did he set himself on fire on the green banquet platform?

And the source of all this is the two people who are sitting in this hall and accepting compliments from everyone with a smile!Looking at King Ruyang, who was wearing a golden dragon robe and sitting on the throne, Su Wan sneered in her heart, and stepped on the bones of my Chen family to board the dragon chair, King Ruyang, can you sit at ease?

I still remember the time when King Ruyang defeated Daliang’s army at the border and beheaded tens of thousands of people in the first battle. At that time, his father resisted all opinions, disregarded his own obstruction, disregarded the objections of his courtiers, and under great pressure named you a king with a different surname. I never thought that this is how you repay your father!Use the sword and poisoned wine to send the father into the sea of ​​blood and hell!

Back then, King Ruyang was full of pride, he was a general in the army, and he was a pillar of the Chen Dynasty.However, Emperor Chongwen, who is sitting high on the throne now, is nothing more than a clown who is crowned with a monkey!

Looking at King Ruyang who was smiling so heartily on the throne, Su Wan wished she could pounce on him and tear him to pieces!If the anger in the eyes could burn people to death, then King Ruyang must have been reduced to ashes by now!

But in the end, Su Wan still suppressed the anger in her heart, and completely covered up the hatred in her eyes. She knew that she couldn't act rashly now. God gave her this opportunity to take revenge , not to die.

After calming down, Suva listened to Yun Jingya and said with a coquettish smile: "It turns out that the emperor thought that the emperor would not be able to come today due to troubles, so he felt sorry for his younger brothers just now. What a pleasant surprise for the child!"

The situation in the court seems to be stable, but Yun Jingya, who has always determined to be better than the former eldest princess, naturally knows what the situation in the court is now.Therefore, over the years, Yun Jingya has been spared no effort to recruit talents for her father.

Today's Jingyan was a special occasion for Yun Jingya to recommend Su Lin to her father. She never expected that Emperor Chongwen could not come because of something.The disappointment in Yun Jingya's heart can be imagined.Unexpectedly, Emperor Chongwen actually gave her a surprise.

Emperor Chongwen on the throne looked at his daughter and said with a smile: "You are so old, why are you still so jumpy? You should be more prudent."

Although there was some reproach in the words, it was more of a love for Yun Jingya.Those words of reproach were also full of helplessness, it seemed that Emperor Chongwen, who was fierce and decisive in the past, had nothing to do with this daughter.

Yun Jingya smiled at Emperor Chongwen, indicating that she knew, and then sat back on her seat.Emperor Chongwen turned his head, looked at the people in the hall, and said solemnly: "Today, phoenixes and phoenixes gather together, and talented people gather together. In the future, you will be the pillars of the country and my arms. In the future, you must study hard and do your best for me and the people of the world. These are real things!"

When everyone in the hall heard His Majesty personally encouraging them, their blood surged up at that moment, and they all shouted that they would do their best for His Majesty, and they were even moved to the point of tears.

Although Su Wan who was sitting among the crowd also lowered her head, there was a sneer on her face.I haven't seen him for a few years, the military general who only knew how to win people's hearts with money and gold and silver, has also learned some more sophisticated bribery methods.

Seeing that everyone in the hall was grateful for the kindness of the king, Emperor Chongwen pulled the corner of his mouth slightly upwards, and then he returned to the original state, and then asked everyone in the hall, "Today's sutra banquet, who is the young talent who came to speak?"

For King Ruyang, the biggest problem in the current court is that civil servants and military generals are all veterans, and there are many who are loyal to the previous court.If it wasn't for the severance of the Chen family's blood, I'm afraid that my throne today would definitely not be so secure.

Therefore, King Ruyang has been carefully installing his own people in the court in recent years, but he started his career with military merits, and the affairs in the army are safe; civil servants have always been a problem that cannot be solved. Fortunately, Fang Yuanli helped him. Take care of yourself.

Jingya has also been recruiting talents from all over the world for herself these years, but with little success.However, don't be too hasty, I am the real dragon emperor, these courtiers, I just need to replace them slowly.It's just that I couldn't bear to violate my daughter's good intentions.

Hearing His Majesty's question, Su Lin got up, walked out from behind the table, and saluted Emperor Chongwen, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the person who attended the sutra banquet today is Weichen. Weichen is the editor of the Imperial Academy, Su Lin .”

On the surface, Su Lin seemed calm and stable, but in his heart he was extremely happy.Originally thought that His Majesty would not appear on the Sutra Banquet today.I never thought that His Majesty would suddenly appear in front of me!
Su Lin, who had to use a lot of effort to calm himself down, knew in his heart that his official career in the next 20 years would be above today's Jingyan. There is no day to stand up.

Emperor Chongwen, sitting on the throne, looked at the person in front of him. He had delicate features, and he was dressed in a purple court dress, which reflected his extraordinary aura.Emperor Chongwen nodded happily, "It turned out to be Su Hanlin. I don't know what topic Su Hanlin is talking about today?"

The topics on the sutra feast are all drawn up by the lecturers themselves. They can talk about the learning of sages, or they can talk about the strategies of governing the country, all of which are endless.As long as you speak small words and big righteousness, it will be regarded as an excellent sutra feast.

Su Lin, who was standing tall in the palace, bowed slightly, and said to Emperor Chongwen: "Reporting to Your Majesty, what I said at this sutra banquet is an old story of the Chen Dynasty. The lessons from the Chen Dynasty are not far away, and we shall quote As a warning."

Su Lin compiled the history books of the Chen Dynasty in the Hanlin Academy before, and he is very familiar with the affairs of the Chen Dynasty.Therefore, this topic was selected by Jingyan above.What's more, Su Lin is confident that with his own talent, he will be able to talk about this topic like a hype.

During the dinner, Su Wan heard Su Lin's words and smiled slightly.I have known for a long time that Su Lin had this topic in mind, and the previous kung fu on Su Qing was also prepared for this topic.Later, there must be a good show.

Emperor Chongwen's expression on the throne remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "In this case, I invite Su Hanlin to give the lecture. I will definitely listen carefully to understand the true meaning of the history books."

Only Su Wan, who was sitting at the bottom and staring at Emperor Chongwen, noticed that when Emperor Chongwen said the word "all ears and listen respectfully", a stern look flashed in his eyes.

Su Wan sneered in her heart. After all, Emperor Chongwen was wrong, and she felt a little guilty.Hearing that Su Lin wanted to talk about the old affairs of the Chen Dynasty, he felt so unhappy!But that's fine, when I give him an excuse later, he will be able to complete his plan smoothly.

Hearing Emperor Chongwen's consent, Su Lin reached out and picked up a copy of "Chen Shu" from his desk, which was exactly the same as the one Su Wan read in his room that day.Su Lin turned the pages of the book, and Lang Lang's voice suddenly sounded in the Wenhua Palace.

Although Su Wan and Su Lin were in the same situation, Su Wan also nodded secretly when he heard what Su Lin said. Su Lin did have some talents.It's a pity, not long after he stepped into the officialdom, and he didn't know that the emperor's mind was unfathomable. Before he knew it, he made a huge mistake!
The hourglass used for timing is slowly turned, and the white sand flows down from it.Not long after, the white hourglass in the hourglass was exhausted, and Su Lin's talk stopped abruptly, and the timing was just right.

Emperor Chongwen on the throne nodded lightly. Although the person in front of him was young, he was still quite talented.It's just that this verbal skill can only be heard but not seen. Whether the hand skill is so good is in between.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongwen nodded with a smile, "Su Hanlin's speech is very good. After listening to it, I feel that I have benefited a lot in my heart. There is indeed a truth in the world in the history books."

Su Lin, who was standing in the hall, kept raising his heart. At this moment, he heard Emperor Chongwen praise him for his good speech, so he put his heart back in his stomach.Su Lin knew in his heart that his performance today had left an impression on Emperor Chongwen.

Su Lin let out a long breath, then bowed and said, "It is a great honor for me to be able to speak for Your Majesty, the princess, and all the princes today; if I can make Your Majesty smile, I will be satisfied."

Seeing the hypocritical politeness of the two, Su Wan, who was sitting on the side, shook her head slightly.Emperor Chongwen could laugh at this time, but because what Su Lin said was what Emperor Chongwen thought, and Emperor Chongwen would naturally be happy if someone could shake his lips for him.

Thinking of this, Su Wan put down the tea bowl in her hand, looked at Su Lin who was standing proudly in the hall, and thought in her heart that this is just a lecture, and it will be to clear up doubts later.Until then is the highlight of today!
