The ministers waited outside the Fengtian Hall for more than an hour before they heard the eunuch salute.
The Hall of Harmony is the center of the inner court of the imperial palace, and it is also the place where the emperor gave banquets. After passing through the inner court, there is the harem behind, and the Fengyi Hall, where the queen lives, is in the middle of the harem.
It was a cumbersome procedure to get to the outside of the Deqinghe Hall. Qi Ning could only do what others did. After tossing for more than an hour, it was already dusk. Qi Ning sighed in his heart, thinking to himself that the emperor was a great man. Marriage, from top to bottom is suffering, go out in the morning until now, not to mention eating, not even a glass of water.
After a while, I saw Princess Tianxiang, who was surrounded by a group of female officials and palace maids, walking along a road to the harem, and all the officials immediately fell to their knees and watched the queen leave.
By the time the ministers entered the Hall of Harmony and sat down, the sky was already dark.
At this time, Qi Ning only hoped that the dishes would come up quickly, and eat a full stomach first. Who knows, wait for the left and right, when it gets dark, the palace banquet will be late, and the ministers here are also hungry, but the dishes are not. After coming up, one by one did not dare to be rude, and he was very reserved.
Qi Ning saw that the officials at the table were so reserved, and he couldn’t let go of his hands and feet to eat and drink. Hungry for a day, don’t care to wait an hour or two more.
In fact, after the Kingdom of Chu was established, successive emperors practiced diligence and thrift. Today’s etiquette seems very cumbersome to Qi Ning, but in fact, many of the etiquette sequences that can be saved have been omitted. an hour.
At the beginning, the officials were still reserved, but after a while, the Hall of Qihe began to become lively, pushing the cup to the cup. When Qi Ning saw this, he was not polite. At this time, all the officials at the table turned to Qi Ning. Serve a toast.
If Qi Ning didn’t have much prestige among the ministers before, but the change of the imperial mausoleum and the battle of etiquette to welcome the relatives have already made the ministers not dare to underestimate Qi Ning, many people thought about Qi Ning several times at first. The tit-for-tat confrontation with the Sima family is unbelievable, but Qi Ning prevailed both times, and many people began to feel that although this Jin Yi Hou was young, it was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
Hundreds of ministers gathered together in the Hall of Harmony. Today is a festive day, and the Hall of Harmony is also very lively.
Because of the emperor’s wedding, the capital was also decorated with lanterns and lanterns. The entire Chu Kingdom was shrouded in a festive atmosphere. Even on the Qinhuai River, it was also singing and dancing. In order to celebrate the emperor’s big day, it is also to create a warm atmosphere for the benefactors and the girls.
There are also many deserted places in the capital, and Huainan Palace is one of them.
After the Huainan Palace was confiscated, the officers of the Kyoto Prefecture came to replace the Yulin Battalion to temporarily guard the palace, and then a hundred soldiers from the Black Scale Battalion transferred from outside the city took over the defense of the Kyoto Prefecture Yachai, and led the centenarians. The general is Zhao Wushang who walked out of the Hou residence.
After the rebuilding of the Black Scale Camp, Qi Ning dispatched Duan Canghai and Zhao Wushang, the guards of the Hou Mansion, to go to the commander-in-chief, leaving Qi Feng and Li Tang to continue guarding the mansion.
Zhao Wushang didn’t talk much, and he was a low-key person, but he was very reliable in his work. Guarding the palace was no small matter. When Qi Ning dispatched people to transfer troops, he specifically instructed Zhao Wushang to lead the troops.
The front and back of the palace were guarded by the soldiers of the Black Scale Battalion, and even in the surrounding streets, Zhao Wushang would personally lead people to patrol from time to time.
In the alley at the back door of the palace, two carriages were parked. The back door was open, and several men in black came out of the palace carrying boxes and carefully loaded the boxes onto the carriages.
Dou Kui, the minister of households, was dressed in civilian clothes and looked left and right, beckoning from time to time to make people speed up, and the two soldiers of the Black Scale Battalion guarding the back door turned a blind eye, like stone carvings.
Moving out five or six boxes back and forth,
They were packed in two carriages, and when the last box was carried out, Zhao Wushang came out through the back door, cupped his hands and said to Dou Kui: “Master Dou, Lord Hou has instructed us to prepare all these goods, one piece. A lot, Master Dou go back and check.”
Dou Kui knew that Zhao Wushang was Qi Ning’s confidant, although his status was much higher than Zhao Wushang, he still politely said: “I have trouble with you brothers, please tell the Hou Ye, I will definitely handle this matter properly and do not let it go. Lord Hou has worries.” Without saying much, he hurriedly boarded the carriage in front and waved, “Let’s go!”
The two carriages began to drive slowly, and four men in black with swords on their waists followed each carriage. By the moonlight, they escorted the carriages away.
Dou Kui only picked up the remote street and walked, crossing two streets, suddenly felt the carriage speed slow down, Dou Kui was leaning in the carriage and closed his eyes, feeling the carriage slow down, frowned, got up and opened it. The curtain of the car was about to ask questions, but suddenly saw a group of dark shadows appearing on the street ahead.
Dou Kui’s heart sank, but the driver had already shouted: “Get out of the way, who is blocking the way, don’t you want to live?”
“Shut up!” The other party shouted coldly: “The loyalty and righteousness is here, how dare you be presumptuous, and then say nonsense, be careful to tear your mouth.”
When Dou Kui heard the word “Loyalty and Righteousness”, his heart froze, he immediately got out of the carriage, jumped out of the carriage, looked up, and saw Sima Changshen, the loyal and righteous waiter in brocade clothes, holding his hands in front of him. , Behind Sima Changshen, more than a dozen big men followed, all of them fierce.
“It turned out to be Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness? The subordinate officials meet Marquis.” Dou Kui has been in the officialdom for many years, but he has some skill in acting. With a smile on his face, he stepped forward and cupped his hands: “Marquis left so early? The banquet in the palace. Haven’t you stopped yet?”
“It’s true that I haven’t rested yet.” Sima Changshen half-smiled, glanced at the carriage, and then said lightly: “But this Marquis was looking for Lord Dou at the banquet and wanted to offer a drink to Lord Dou, but he couldn’t find Lord Dou, listen. It is said that Master Dou has already left the table first, so Ben Hou personally came out to find it.”
“Master Hou… come out to find an official?” Dou Kui was stunned, but his expression remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: “How dare you, today is the great day of the Grand Duke’s Mansion, and Lord Hou should spend more time in the palace. Have a few drinks, Lord He Laohou will protect the lower officials.”
Sima Changshen said with a smile: “Master Dou, if others don’t thank you, I have to thank you, the marquis.” He walked forward slowly and walked around Dou Kui, his eyes always fixed on Dou Kui: “This is The second emperor’s wedding would not have been as smooth as it is today if it hadn’t been for the household’s efforts to supply it. Others don’t know it, but this marquis knows that you, Mr. Dou, have made a great contribution.”
“This… Lord Hou is really overrated, and I don’t dare to be a subordinate official.” Dou Kui cupped his hands and said, “I dare not delay Lord Hou’s banquet, and will bring good wine to honor Lord Hou some other day. Two cups.”
Sima Changshen laughed and said, “It’s good to dare. But Mr. Dou, I don’t know anything about this, please enlighten me.”
“Master Hou… If Master Hou has any orders, please let me know!”
“Today is the emperor’s big wedding, and all the officials are having a banquet in the Hall of Harmony. It is very lively to push the cup to the lamp.” Sima Changshen said, “Why did Lord Dou leave the table first? Could it be that Lord Dou is not feeling well?”
“This…!” Dou Kui rolled his eyes and sighed, “Xiaguan is really not feeling well these days, and it’s not advisable to drink too much. If you stay there, I’m afraid you will be confused and drink too much, so… …so we can only say goodbye first.”
“So that’s how it is.” Sima Changshen put his hands on his back, raised his neck slightly, and looked at Dou Kui with a condescending look: “Since it is because of the unwell, Master Dou should rest in the mansion, why did he come here in the middle of the night? Come?” Slightly turned to the side, looked over to a carriage behind him, and smiled deliberately, “Master Dou is not always a sweetheart in the middle of the night, afraid of being known?”
Dou Kui said with a dry smile, “Master Hou is joking. The lower officials are so old, how can… how can they have such thoughts.”
“Since that’s the case, who is in the carriage behind?” Sima Chang Shen was slightly interested: “Master Dou would never tell me that there was no one in that carriage? Could it be your family?”
“This…!” Cold sweat broke out on Dou Kui’s forehead.
He and Qi Ning agreed to smuggle the treasures of the palace during the night banquet in the palace, to prevent the people of the Sima family from interfering in it. Who knows, after careful arrangements, they were still blocked on the long street.
Sima Changshen said that he came out to find himself drinking. Dou Kui naturally knew that it was nonsense. He knew that from the beginning, he was afraid that he would be watched by the Sima family. I acted, so I left the palace banquet and ran to block myself.
It’s really troublesome right now. The wooden boxes inside the carriage are all rare treasures from the treasure room of the palace. If Sima Changshen opened the boxes and saw them, UU read www.sonicmtl.com these treasures. Whether he can save it is second, and he will also be charged with embezzling treasures, and the consequences are unimaginable.
Sima Changshen saw that Dou Kui was sweating on his forehead, and was even more proud, and said with a smile: “If the carriage is the family of Mr. Dou, and we meet today, this Marquis is just meeting him.” Lowering his voice, he deliberately said, “If Mr. Dou is in private The beautiful woman we met, also let Ben Hou see how he looks like, Master Dou, rest assured, everyone has something like a man, and Ben Hou will not show it to the outside world.”
Dou Kui tried his best to remain calm, and said, “Master Marquis is marrying a daughter today. The matter is very important, so how can we delay it here. The next day, I will bring Jiannei to visit Master Hou. It’s getting late, so Master Hou should return to the palace as soon as possible. Lest others look for Lord Hou but can’t see him.”
“What?” Sima Changshen’s face sank: “Don’t Master Dou give Ben Hou this face?” He walked forward to the carriage: “Master Dou doesn’t want to let Ben Hou see, but Ben Hou must see him today, take a look What kind of beauty can make Master Dou even ignore the emperor’s wedding banquet and come out to meet in the middle of the night.”
When Dou Kui saw Sima Changshen go straight towards the carriage behind him, his face changed greatly, he raised his hand, and said, “Master Hou, you can’t…!”
