Qi Ning said with a half-smile, “Master Chen didn’t sleep last night, did you? Why is your brain not working. Clearing the road naturally means clearing all the obstacles in front of you.”

Chen Lanting glanced at Sima Wanqiong’s huge jade chariot and said with a smile, “In that case, Jinyihou might as well help the queen to clear the way.”

“You bastard.” Qi Ning scolded coldly, “Chen Lanting, what are you, you dare to command this prince what to do here?” Xiang Yuan Lao Shangshu said: “Old Shangshu, Chen Lanting is so rude, did you commit the following crime? ”

Yesterday, Qi Ning beat up Da Xichong, the waiter of the punishment department, and many officials knew about it. Chen Lanting couldn’t help but take a few steps back when he saw Qi Ning’s bad expression. Shilang, then naturally he has the courage to do something to the official minister.

Yuan Lao Shangshu reconciled: “Master Hou, although Mr. Chen’s words are inappropriate, but today is the emperor’s wedding day, everyone is also trying to arrange the marriage, so don’t hurt the peace.”

“What the old minister said is very true.” Sima Changshen said loudly: “Today is a festive day, and Jin Yihou is here to show off his prestige and shout, don’t know what he wants?”

Qi Ning looked back at Sima Changshen, seeing Sima Changshen staring at him coldly, Sima Lan had also stood up and stood aside with his hands down, Sima Lan was the envoy of the wedding, and it stands to reason that he should come up with an idea immediately. But he remained calm and did not speak.

Today’s situation, Qi Ning has actually recollected, and knows the deep meaning of the Sima family.

It stands to reason that with Sima Lan’s temperament, today’s big wedding will never be ostentatious, and it is the way of this person to behave in a low-key manner. Yu pomp is not under Princess Tianxiang.

Qi Ning naturally felt strange that his behavior was so abnormal. He was thinking about the doorway along the way, but suddenly remembered an allusion.

Zhao Gao of the Qin Dynasty wanted to seize power. I was afraid that the ministers would not obey his orders, so he set a trap as a test first, so he brought a deer to Qin Ershi, claiming that it was a horse.

Qin Ershi smiled and said, “Is the Prime Minister wrong? You called a deer a horse.” When asked the ministers around him, some ministers remained silent, while others agreed that it was a horse, and Zhao Gao tried to test the ministers. their stance.

Refers to a deer as a horse!

When Qi Ning thought of this allusion, he understood the mystery of Sima Lan’s high and low publicity.

King Huainan, the biggest opponent, collapsed suddenly. Looking at the court, there was almost no one to compete with the Sima family, and Sima Lan took this opportunity to take the opportunity to make further tests. Today the emperor’s wedding, Sima Lan deliberately violated the etiquette system in many places. If no one dared to criticize, then the power of the Sima family in the state of Chu would be confirmed, and the court officials would not dare to fight against the Sima family in order to protect themselves.

Qi Ning saw the strangeness in it, so naturally he couldn’t watch the Sima family establish their authority on the wedding day.

He took the initiative to stand up today, seemingly reckless, as if he intended to target the Sima family, but it was a decision he made repeatedly along the way.

He knew that if the Sima family made a test, if no one dared to oppose it, the ministers would naturally feel that no one could resist the Sima family, so they would feel fear or even surrender to the Sima family, but as long as someone dared to stand up, That means that the Sima family is not covering the sky with only one hand in the court. At least there are forces who dare to fight against the Sima family, and there must be many people in the court who are dissatisfied or even disgusted with the Sima family. The backbone will not easily yield to the Sima family.

Qi Ning’s heart is like a mirror. When he was in the imperial mausoleum, he stood up to stop the Sima family from starting a major case. At that time, he had already formed a deep hatred with the Sima family. No matter if he can’t come out today, the Jinyi Qi family has already been arrested. The Sima family is listed as an enemy. Since the enemy and the enemy have been clearly identified, it is better to stand up as a banner against the Sima family because of its silence and let the ministers submit to the power of the Sima family.

Silence will only lead to more isolation and helplessness in the court in the future, and standing up will inevitably attract a group of ministers who are dissatisfied with the Sima family. Qi Ning naturally knows how to choose between the two.

“Shouting?” Since Qi Ning knew what was going on in the world today, he naturally wouldn’t have any compromise with the Sima family, smiled lightly, and said, “Honor of loyalty, where did you start with the yelling? The Queen’s The jade carriage was blocked, and the Marquis said that he would clear the way and make way for the empress’ jade carriage, is there any fault?”

Prince Dong Qi put his hands in front of his belly and stood not far behind Qi Ning’s side. He didn’t say a word from beginning to end. At this time, he heard Qi Ning’s words, and his eyebrows showed a hint of admiration.

Duan Shao is the prince of Qi state. He came to Chu state this time. Although he did not dare to offend the Sima family, a powerful minister of Chu state, he endured his temper and let Princess Tianxiang’s jade carriage come to the Sima mansion, but he was still a little unhappy in his heart. , Now that he sees that his sister’s jade chariot is likely to walk behind, he is very dissatisfied.

However, Sima Changshen also knew that if he could not suppress Qi Ning in front of the ministers, the power of the Sima family would definitely be damaged, he sneered, pointed at Sima Wan Qiongyu’s carriage and said, “Jinyihou, the one who stands in front of the queen is nothing more than a little girl. The jade carriage, according to what you said, do you want to carry the jade carriage aside and let the queen go over first?”

Someone on the side immediately said: “The loyal and righteous waiter, that can’t be done. The jade chariot that goes out only takes the right way. If the jade chariot is moved to the side road, then… that’s a bad sign.” After speaking, many officials immediately joined in.

Sima Changshen said even more proudly: “Jinyi Hou, you also heard, the little girl has already got on the jade carriage, but she can’t move to the side. If you have any good ideas, just say it.”

Qi Ning sighed and said to Yuan Lao Shang Shu: “Old Shang Shu, you are an old minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the ritual system of our Chu country is all in your heart. I am young and my knowledge is shallow, and there is something I want to tell you today. Ask for advice, and I hope that the old Shangshu will not hesitate to enlighten me.”

Yuan Lao Shangshu hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, “Master Hou, may I ask you.”

“When the Empress Dowager entered the palace, did the old Shangshu work as an official in the Ministry of Rites?”

Yuan Lao Shang Shu was stunned, not knowing what Qi Ning meant, he thought for a while, then nodded and said, “Yes, the old minister was already in the Ministry of Rites at that time.”

“Then the old Shangshu should still remember the scene when the queen mother entered the palace.” Qi Ning carried his hands on his back: “Could the old Shangshu tell me how the queen mother entered the palace?”

“This…!” Yuan Lao Shangshu hesitated for a moment, and finally said: “When the queen mother entered the palace, it was the emperor who issued the edict and sent someone from the palace to carry a large sedan chair into the palace. In. After entering the palace, the late emperor canonized the empress dowager as the imperial concubine.”

The Empress Dowager Qi Ning came from the Sima family. When she entered the palace, she was only canonized as an imperial concubine. Later, Longtai’s mother, the Empress Zhenggong, died, and Concubine Sima became the empress.

Qi Ning said with a smile, “Does it conform to the etiquette when carrying a large sedan chair?”

Yuan Laoshang wrote: “If you are an ordinary person, carrying a large sedan chair with eight is already the highest etiquette, and the ladies who welcome into the palace, most of them carry a large sedan chair with ten, and can carry a large sedan chair for twelve, which is also a great grace from the emperor. ”

“In this way, without the emperor’s special decree, the concubines who welcome into the palace can only carry a large sedan chair.” Qi Ning sighed, looked at Sima Changshen, and asked, “Honor of loyalty and righteousness, today I will order your concubine to enter the palace. , according to the etiquette system, only ten large sedan chairs can be carried. Even if the emperor has a special decree, at most two sedan chairmen will be added. Now your Sima Mansion has prepared such a huge jade carriage, but I don’t know what the purpose is? You want to violate the court’s etiquette and enter the palace in a jade carriage?”

In fact, today when the officials came to the Sima Mansion and saw the luxurious jade chariot, they were all muttering in their hearts. Everyone knows that welcoming the queen is to carry the jade chariot from the palace, but there is no one in the world except the queen. Eligible to ride the jade carriage.

It is stipulated by the etiquette system to greet the queen after leaving the palace. I have never heard that other empresses still need an honor guard to welcome their relatives. It would be better if they were sent directly into the palace. Today, the honor guard came to Sima Mansion to greet Sima Wanqiong, which is already arrogant. Ritual system, and the Sima family actually prepared jade carriages, it was a bit too much.

Although the ministers were muttering in their hearts, no one dared to say a word because of the power of the Sima family. UUkanshu www.sonicmtl.com thought that if no one dared to say it, everyone would simply pretend to be deaf and dumb and let things happen. It’s better to end sooner.

Now because the Queen’s road was blocked, Jin Yihou suddenly asked directly about the power, and some of the courtiers felt great in their hearts.

Sima Changshen opened his mouth, and his confidence was obviously a little weaker: “The little girl will be the imperial concubine right away. Could it be that… shouldn’t she enter the palace in a jade carriage?”

“No!” Qi Ning said firmly: “Not to mention that Ling Ai has not been canonized as a noble concubine yet, even if the emperor really decrees to be an imperial concubine, I am afraid that he is not qualified to ride the jade carriage. No one understands this truth?” Looking at Sima Lan, who has been silent, he said, “The old prince has worked extremely hard for the emperor’s wedding these days, and he may not have time to ask about the preparations here, but the Hou Zhongyi shouldn’t be like this. I was negligent. Later, the wedding party went to the street, and the people saw two jade chariots. Would they have misunderstood? There can only be one Phoenix.”

“Well said!” A voice came from behind: “Jin Yihou’s remarks are in line with the etiquette of my great Chu, there is no mistake, except for the queen, who can ride the jade carriage?”

Everyone followed the sound and saw that the person who spoke was Dou Kui, the minister of households.

As soon as Dou Kui spoke, many courtiers immediately said: “Yes, yes, the empress rides on a jade carriage, which is naturally in line with the etiquette, and if others, hehe…!”

“What Jin Yihou said is very true, what kind of etiquette is it when two jade chariots are walking on the street and are seen by the common people?”

Qi Ning saw it in his eyes, his heart was slightly wide, and he thought that his choice today was not wrong. From the reaction of these ministers, it can be seen that because he stood up, these ministers are not afraid of the Sima family, at least they have already Many people dared to speak out, and this was exactly what Qi Ning wanted to see.
