Chapter 45 Taking Regress as Advance 2
The black fog in the sky has not yet melted. Outside the door, Liu Yanzhao and Qilang stood neatly dressed, waiting for the people from the palace to lead.
"Brother Six, what do you think the court will look like?"
Wearing a brand-new armor, Qilang looked much more energetic, but his tight body showed his inner uneasiness and restlessness.
"Seventh brother, do you remember what I said to you last night?"
Liu Yanzhao could see that Qilang's nervousness was that he was also extremely nervous at this moment, so he didn't bother to say things like relax.
"Remember, what the sixth brother does as his younger brother is. Don't talk much. If you are asked, take the state affairs of the imperial court as the answer."
This is what he specially told Qilang. The disaster came out of his mouth, especially when the forces of the Northern Han Dynasty were not clear. The only thing he could do was to talk about the scene in order to get out.
While the two were talking, a group of people rode lightly. The leader was the little eunuch yesterday, Wang Lun's follower. Behind him was a group of well-dressed soldiers, who must be the forbidden army in the palace.
Two horses were pulled out, and the little eunuch walked to Liu Yanzhao, "Little general, the imperial city is still a few miles away. You are not feeling well. The prince asked the maidservant to take two horses to walk."
"I'm worried about my father-in-law. Yan Zhao thanked me here."
After greeting, Liu Yanzhao got on the horse, leaving Yushan and others to guard the house, and followed the little eunuch to the imperial city.
At this time, it was still early, and it was a little cool. The streets were very empty, and the traffic was just rushing to the courtiers, sitting in a sedan chair or riding a horse under the entourage of Ding Ding's guard.
Although Liu Yanzhao and others were accompanied by the imperial army and eunuchs, none of them could be ranked in the imperial class did not write their status, so no one greeted them all the way.
Outside the imperial city, the sedan and horses can't go in. Liu Yanzhao also got off the horse with the rest of the people and followed the little eunuch to the palace.
Stepping into the imperial city, the majestic momentum rushed to the front. Although the Northern Han Dynasty was only a small court, the palace was not inferior to his court at all.
The palace platform is magnificent and the carved patterns are lifelike. Although there is no golden jade pavilion or Qiongzhi Tower, it is also very luxurious. The night pearls on both sides of the jade steps alone are enough to make Liu Yanzhao sigh.
At the time of Mao, the court meeting rose. The Liu Yanzhao brothers did not immediately enter the court. They could only wait in the side of the side hall and wait for the call of Liu Jiyuan.
After about a cup of tea, the sound of broken footsteps came, which made Liu Yanzhao, who was a little suffering in his heart, immediately cheer up. He looked up and happened to see a slightly fat eunuch in a purple suit.
"Two young generals of the Liu family, the emperor ordered our family to call you to the hall."
"There is a father-in-law." Liu Yanzhao hurriedly said a polite word, but the latter didn't look at it and turned around and walked out alone.
It seems that this eunuch is very favored by Liu Jiyuan. He is ignored like this. Liu Yanzhao is a little annoyed, but he can only bear it. Under the eaves, he has to bow his head. When the Northern Han Dynasty dies, he will definitely let these dogs fight against human power to death.
Picking up the steps, he quickly entered the hall full of courtiers, as I had heard before, the minister on the left and the general on the right. In the high position, the middle-aged man wearing the emperor's suit and wearing a crown was staring at him, and standing beside him was the eunuch who had just led the way.
This is Liu Jiyuan. At present, it seems that he has the momentum of a king. He can't see the attitude of groveling and slander. Perhaps this is the charm of the throne, which can make the people sitting on it have a temperament respected by thousands of people.
Before walking to the hall, he owed the head of the civil and military officer. Liu Yanzhao bowed and saluted, and Qilang behind him also followed
"Liu Jing"
"Liu Xi"
"See you, your Majesty!"
"Haha, Xiao Aiqing, please get up quickly, raise your head and let me have a good look..."
After brushing his beard, Liu Jiyuan's face was full of joy, "The ancients and tiger fathers had no dogs and children. Today, it is true that the ancients did not bully me!"
The bright laughter recalled in the hall, and the courtiers all leaned down and said yes. This situation seemed to make Liu Jiyuan more happy. "Liulang, I heard that you are over 18 years old and have not married yet. My Princess Biyue is just 15 years old. Can I marry her to you now?"
Hearing this, Liu Yanzhao only felt a sharp pain in his brain. How did Liu Jiyuan become a matchmaker, not to mention that Princess Biyue had never seen it, but at this age, it was enough to make him resistant.
What's more, there is a strong smell of political conspiracy. In any case, Liu Yanzhao can't accept it willingly.
However, as soon as the emperor opened his mouth, there was no room for anyone to object. If it was someone else, Liu Yanzhao could use 'marriage major events, the words of parents' and the words of the matchmaker' to prefer, but only Liu Jiyuan could not refuse.
Heaven and earth's own teacher, the king's words have long been better than everything. For a moment, I couldn't think of what to say, so I could only cough violently.
At this time, one of the courtiers stood up and looked at his costume. It should be the imperial historian.
"Your Majesty, I don't think this is appropriate."
"Oh? What does Gong Aiqing think is wrong?
Gong Bo, who was listed, stood in the front with his eyes tilted. Ma Feng, who closed his eyes and said nothing, was a little flustered, but he thought that the memorials sent last night did not work. If he didn't say anything, he was afraid that the consequences would be more serious than now.
At present, when I stand in the team again, I have taken that step and can't take it back. I can only follow Ma Feng all the way to the dark.
In this case, it is even more important to stop the marriage. Otherwise, Liu Jiye will guard the Yanmen Pass, and Liu Yanzhao will become the son-in-law and hold heavy troops in the capital. Such a situation will be extremely unfavorable to Ma Feng.
What is unfavorable to Ma Feng is to him Gong Bo. Now, he has been in a boat with the former to help Ma Feng to help himself.
Stabilizing his mind, Gong Bo saluted Liu Jiyuan again, "Returning to the emperor, although Liu Jing is young and talented, he is not a talented person, and his meritorious deeds are few, and Princess Biyue's marriage is a major event in my court, so I think that the emperor will think twice about the marriage."
Gong Bo's words made Liu Yanzhao a little annoyed. The joy that he had just stood up to dissuade Liu Jiyuan was wiped away. He said it euphemistically, but it was extremely harsh.
However, at this moment, there is no place for him to speak in the hall, and Liu Yanzhao also smelled the taste of struggle from just a few words. Throughout the ages, there have been differences between monarchs and ministers, but if the throne is uncertain, it is difficult to say whether this difference exists.
After all, if the buttocks leave the dragon chair, it is nothing, and the minister who has always been obedient also has an irresistible ambition for the dragon chair.
Therefore, as the party concerned, Liu Yanzhao calmed his anger and continued to cough softly, while Liu Jiyuan's face cooled down, " According to the meaning of Gong Ai, who is the Ruyi Langjun of Princess Biyue?"
"The son of the left-shooting servant, the servant of the official department, Ma Lan, handsome and excellent in talent and learning. I think that this son and Princess Biyue are a perfect match."
After saying that, Gong Bo himself felt cold and sweaty, and he knew Ma Lan, and he had already married, but his wife died early, but how could a princess of a dignified country marry and continue with his ministers?
Over the years, Ma Feng has worked hard for his son, but Liu Jiyuan rejected Princess Biyue's young age. At this time, Gong Bo brought it up just to show his attitude.
Liu Jiyuan's face was even more ugly. He turned his head and looked at Ma Feng, who was standing in the first place. At this time, of course, Ma Feng, who was there, could not pretend to be there. He saluted respectfully, "Your Majesty, what Lord Gong said is false. How can the dog be compared with General Liu? It's just the matter of marriage given by the emperor, but the old minister agrees with what Lord Gong said.
"Does Ma Aiqing also have the right person?"
Hearing that Ma Feng did not climb up the pole and continued to marry Ma Lan, Liu Jiyuan immediately turned around and took him in the army.
He scolded in his heart, but Ma Feng, who was old and refined, still didn't change his face. "The old minister hasn't thought about it for a while, but General Liu is definitely not the best candidate. He is sick, so he can't marry Princess Biyue."
"Is that so? When did Ma Aiqing learn medical skills? Liu Jiyuan snorted softly and turned to Liu Yanzhao, "Liulang, what's wrong with you?"
After a burst of coughing, Liu Yanzhao pretended to calm down with difficulty, "Go back to the emperor, I don't know. I'm afraid I'm infected with the wind chill."
Hearing the words, the right shot servant behind Ma Feng came out again, "Wind chill? It's all nonsense! My emperor, I accidentally learned that this disease is not as simple as wind and cold, but should be tuberculosis!"
As soon as this word came out, the courtiers who knew it in advance showed surprise. At this time, Liu Yanzhao coughed more and couldn't even say anything.
On the throne, Liu Jiyuan's face was covered with frost. No matter how Ma Feng and others knew that Liu Yanzhao was suffering from tuberculosis, the marriage was stopped.
There are still many ways to attract Liu Jiye, but you can't wrong the beloved Biyue, but it's a pity for the sixth son of the Liu family.
Taking advantage of Liu Yanzhao's growing cough, Liu Jiyuan quickly ordered to disperse the court and asked Wei Degui, the chief eunuch on the side, to call the guard of the forbidden army waiting outside the hall and take him to the palace to find a doctor to check his condition.
