When he walked out of the room, Fang Jie stretched his waist and took a deep breath of the particularly fragrant air.
Coming back from Dongjiang, I walked for several months along the way, and it was already early summer when I arrived in Chang'an City.
No matter how rigid Chang'an City is, the fragrance of flowers will still spread. No matter how solemn and calm Tai Chi Palace is, there are still many flowers. Speaking of which, only in spring and summer every year in the Tai Chi Palace will it slightly dilute the chilling chill that makes people feel chills in their bones.
Fang Xie remembered that when he was still an unknown person, he entered the Tai Chi Palace to face the saint.
At that time, he really came in with a pilgrimage mood.
At that time, Fang Xie discovered that every courtier who entered the Tai Chi Palace was wrapped in a thick cloak, but when walking in the palace, he always tightened his clothes from time to time. It's as if there is a gust of dark wind that can search into the cracks in people's bones.
Fang Jie remembered that he also tightened his clothes.
Fang Xie got up very early, but the palace people outside were already busy. Today is the day of the Great Court Meeting. According to the practice of the Great Sui Dynasty, there are many Great Court Meetings every year. But today's grand court meeting is obviously different... This is not only Fang Jie's first grand court meeting in Chang'an City, but also because there will be many officials from the frontiers today.
And what people are looking forward to and waiting for, will Fang Jie become emperor
No one doubts that in today's grand court meeting, countless officials will kneel down in the Tai Chi Hall, sincerely, sincerely, begging Fang Jie to ascend the throne. The Great Sui Dynasty is over, and this world is no longer a world where Sui characters and banners are planted all over the world.
This is a very complicated matter, extremely complicated.
If Fang Jie ascended the throne, many people would be unhappy, unable to eat or sleep. Because Fang Jie had offended enough people, so much that he didn't even bother to write it down, because a notebook couldn't write it down at all. But if Fang Jie does not ascend the throne, more people will be unhappy, unable to eat or sleep. Fang Xie memorized all these people, no matter how many names he could not remember in a notebook, he would write them down.
The palace people were busy, and the square in front of the Tai Chi Hall began to place flower pots. This is Fang Jie's instruction, although those palace people don't know why, but they can only obey. You must know that the Taiji Palace and the Taiji Palace should be the most solemn and strict place in the world. Putting too many red, red and green colors on the square paved with blue bricks seems to destroy this solemnity.
Even Niu Huilun, a university scholar who has always liked Fang Jie to the point that he even thought about making friends with Fang Jie more than once, didn't understand why so many flowers were placed here
You know, for a senior who values etiquette more than life, and seniors who value superiority and inferiority more than life, to have the idea of sworn brotherhood with Fang Jie, this is a matter in itself. It's absurd and bizarre. But even so, this even more absurd and bizarre university scholar still doesn't understand the significance of putting out a sea of flowers at such a solemn moment in the Great Court... What's the point
If he understood Fang Jie's thoughts, he might be able to understand the meaning of doing so.
Yes, there is no particularly important meaning, just a little obsession of Fang Xie. Fang Jie always felt that the Taiji Palace was too rigid, which made people feel chilling. So he ordered people to prepare a large number of flowers and spread them into a sea of flowers in front of the Tai Chi Hall.
Very childish
Perhaps, no one understands the determination in Fang Jie's heart.
So, he is a little lonely.
Even if he had a friend like Xiang Qingniu and a woman like Sang Sasha Mu Xiaoyao Shen Qingshan by his side, he was still a little lonely.
Not hypocritical.
Because of the rush of time, the patterns placed on the flower pots are not cumbersome or precise, but just one word is enough to shock people. How many potted flowers do you need to cover this square? Fang Jie himself didn't know. All he knew was that every time there was a big event, twelve thousand armored warriors could stand on the square in front of the Tai Chi Hall.
Still dissatisfied.
The palace people passing by saw that Fang Jie was going, and immediately stopped to salute.
Fang Jie nodded.
He watched the sea of flowers gradually take shape, and he felt the pleasure of finally tearing something apart. To put it vulgarly, it was as if he had finally pushed a goddess whom he had been chasing for many years, threw her on the bed and brutally tore her black silk? Maybe it's not appropriate, but the thrill is the same.
"master."
Mu San quietly walked behind Fang Jie, lowered his upper body and asked seriously, "Which clothes are you wearing?"
Only Mu San, the other party Xie called him master. Although he is now an upright official, he is still an eunuch after all. Although he felt that he already hated and even disgusted what the eunuch did, he found that doing these things was the most convenient and comfortable for him.
So, simply stop resisting.
"What clothes are you wearing?"
Fang Jie looked down at the very ordinary black brocade clothes on his body. Fang Jie had many pieces of this kind of clothes, and the styles were basically the same. He likes black very much and doesn't like white very much, so sometimes it looks like he hasn't changed clothes for a long time.
"I'm naked?"
He asked Mu San.
Mu San was startled for a moment, then shook his head: "No, this servant wants to know, today's court meeting...does the master want to dress a little more solemnly?"
Fang Jie smiled: "Mu San, I have a question for you."
"Master, tell me."
"If you are a poor person and want to go to the city to see the world. But you are afraid of being looked down upon by others, so what do you care most about?"
"clothing."
After thinking for a while, Mu San seriously replied: "A poor man wants to go to the city to see the world, and he doesn't want to be looked down upon, so he pays special attention to clothes. He either saves for a long time to make a brand new one. The best one has been carefully washed. After entering the city, I still pay special attention to the eyes of the people in the city, lest there will be contempt and disdain in their eyes when they look at me."
"Do I now... need to think about what to wear?"
Fang asked.
Mu San was stunned for a while this time, and then bowed: "Master... there is no need to think about these things."
…
…
Everyone knows what to do at today's court meeting. Everyone knows that the most important thing on the surface of today's Grand Court is a very unruly thing, and it is very unreasonable. How can there be such a thing as the master rushing to convene a court meeting to entrust his subordinates before he ascended the throne
None since ancient times.
But even those generals who knew they would be rewarded, in fact, what they care most about is not what they will get, but whether Fang Jie will agree to them... This is what most people think the meaning of this grand court meeting is. . However, people with higher levels will understand.
This is a battlefield.
Wu Yidao came very early, and he was already waiting outside the palace gate before dawn. When he arrived, he realized that he was a bit late. Outside the palace gate, the carriages of civil servants and generals had already parked a lot, many people gathered together to discuss something, it seemed that everyone was a little excited. This was unrealistic, because it was not yet dawn, and Wu Yiyi couldn't see everyone's expressions clearly, but he just knew that everyone was excited.
Everyone knew how important Wu Yidao was, so when he appeared, everyone came to pay respects. The two people walking in the front were Niu Huilun, a bachelor, and Dugu Wenxiu. In any case, the two of them are now the highest in terms of grade.
"My lord has a purpose."
At this moment, the palace door opened, and the eunuch Mu San came out, cleared his throat and said in a loud voice: "Wu Yiyi, Marquis of Dispersal of Gold, Grand Scholar Niu Huilun, Lord Dugu, General Cui Zhongzhen, General Chen Dingnan, General Chen Qianshan, General Zhuge Wuyin, General Liu Enjing, General Xu Xiaogong, General Lu Fenghou, General Duan Zheng, General Zheng Qiu... enter Dongnuan Pavilion to discuss matters."
The long list of names are all the most important people in the Black Banner Army.
"Other adults."
Unexpectedly, Mu San said something else: "Please go to the Tai Chi Hall for breakfast!"
As soon as this sentence came out, I was stunned.
With breakfast
Of course, everyone didn't eat breakfast, because everyone knew that the Grand Court would last for a long time, so let alone eat, everyone didn't even dare to drink water. If you can't hold back at the court meeting, it's a trivial matter to lose face, but it's a big deal to destroy the atmosphere of the court meeting and cause the prince's displeasure.
However, Fang Jie actually prepared breakfast for everyone!
This is another unprecedented thing!
The ruler actually wants to invite all the courtiers to breakfast in the Tai Chi Hall
What about the rules
Where are the rules
Niu Huilun, the most well-mannered university scholar, froze for a moment, then shook his head and smiled wryly: "Don't look at me, even the hard-mouthed and steel-toothed Yushitai dare not talk nonsense at this time. If the prince asks him to knock out a few of their teeth , I will definitely not lose one. I am old, and my teeth are not good... "
Wu Yidao and others laughed loudly and followed Mu San into the palace.
Among the crowd, two people looked a little strange. One is Dugu Wenxiu and the other is Cui Zhongzhen. The two deliberately walked a few steps behind, and Cui Zhongzhen said a sentence in Mandarin that others could not understand: "Are you a little nervous? Me too."
Dugu Wenxiu's answer didn't matter, she seemed to have no deep meaning: "It's okay, I'm good at acting."
Cui Zhongzhen nodded and followed everyone into the Tai Chi Palace.
They crossed the sea of flowers.
Everyone was shocked.
Beautiful, incomparably beautiful. The original awe and coldness of Taiji Palace was completely wiped out by this sea of flowers. It's like a big man with a high status who has become a habit of being serious on weekdays, suddenly said in front of everyone that his name is Wang Xiaohua and his breast name is Erdanzi... Ruined.
"Damn it...it's really beautiful."
The corners of Niu Huilun's mouth twitched, and he said in a dumb voice: "If any emperor of the Sui Dynasty did this kind of thing, he would be reprimanded by the courtiers, right? Not to mention ruining the solemnity and majesty, just buying flowers is a huge sum of money It's worth the speech officials talking about it..."
"My lord...that's how capricious..."
Wu Yidao said something embarrassingly, and couldn't help laughing.
"Look at my sea of flowers, is it spectacular? Is it beautiful?"
Standing on the high platform, Fang Jie opened his arms and asked.
The answer is of course yes.
So Fang Jie was very happy, and he seemed really happy: "I summoned many people last night, and only one of you was not summoned by me. Of course he didn't know. He thought he knew everything, but I wanted to hide some things." Things can still be done. Naturally, there is no need to hide anything now... If you beat him hard now, I think I will be happier... But, don't damage my flowers."
Everyone froze for a moment, then Wu Yidao suddenly turned around and punched Cui Zhongzhen on the chin.
directly broke the mandible.
Then there was a group of people beating, punching and kicking.
Niu Huilun is a gentleman, so he just kicked his crotch softly, and then ran to Fang Xie's side, wiping his sweat: "This doesn't seem to be part of the plan, does it? Doesn't make sense?"
Fang Jie looked at the serious expression of the Grand Scholar and replied seriously: "Be reasonable? What is that?"
