"History of the Celestial Dynasty. Imperial Capital", Volume 93.
In the spring of the seventh year of Emperor Yao, there was a great victory in the East China Sea. On Jiachen in May, Zhan Wangkai returned, and later held a banquet in Taiji Hall...
The majestic Tai Chi Hall towers into the sky.
The night is endless, and thousands of brilliant lights outline the undulating and majestic outline of the Dazheng Palace.
The lofty imperial palace and sky tower, overlooking the common people in the world in the interlacing of light and shadow, have remained motionless for thousands of years. Every time of prosperity, every time of troubled times and wind and rain, silent traces are carved on the jade wall of the Dragon Steps, making this palace magnificent and prosperous.
In the main hall, hundreds of officials gathered, and a grand feast was about to be held.
At noon today, King Zhan, who led the army to pacify the East China Sea, was ordered to return to Beijing. The 300,000 troops were stationed in Langzhou, accompanied by only 500 Qingqi. A decree was issued in the palace to hold a banquet in the Taiji Hall that night to celebrate King Zhan's victory.
The bells and drums are in harmony, the qin and se are singing in harmony, the sheng is melodious, and the music is magnificent. Officials of the sixth rank and above in the imperial capital all attended the banquet. Such an unprecedented scale of celebration showed the prosperity of the country, but most of the officials attending the banquet were not happy and acted silently.
The dragon chair on the main hall is solemn and gilded, but there is no Emperor Hao present, and it is empty here. On the next level, there is a phoenix-seat Luan case on the left and a kylin-gold case on the right. While the jade curtain was hanging lightly, and the Empress Dowager sat behind her in full makeup and fine attire, on the other side was Grand Master Feng Yan, and even the seat of King Zhan was under it.
A few steps down are the seats for relatives of princes and nobles and high-ranking ministers above the third rank. Looking around at this time, it is likely that they are all relatives of the Feng family, and everyone is proud and arrogant.
Feng Yan was dressed in a purple brocade python robe, a crown with golden tassels, white eyebrows and long beard, and a pair of long and narrow eyes half-closed and half-closed to scan the surroundings. His eyes fell behind the layers of colorful curtains and dragon pillars on all sides of the hall, and there was a proud sneer on the corner of his lips. Now everything is under control, after tonight, the Celestial Dynasty will be the Feng family's world. Thinking up to this point, his arrogance was fully displayed on his face, and he no longer concealed it.
All the officials bowed down to greet the Queen of Heaven and took her seat. After the music and music, the servants in front of the palace proclaimed the ceremony, but all the courtiers stood awkwardly in the palace, neither kneeling nor standing.
It was originally a great ceremony to kneel down three times and kowtow nine times to meet the Son of Heaven. At this time, Emperor Hao was ill, so it was fine for the Queen of Heaven to receive the gift on her behalf, but Feng Yan sat in the hall together with the Queen of Heaven. This time, if you bow down, is it to worship the Son of Heaven, the royal family, or him? Feng family
Not only that, the front of the unicorn case is a gold-plated plate and a purple jade cup, which are already over-made utensils, Feng Yan's move, the wolf's ambition is clearly revealed.
Although the ministers of the Celestial Dynasty were short-spirited, they still had a strong character, and most of them stood there and refused to salute. Han Bo, the official censor in the palace, came out immediately, and played with his head held high: "Minister Qizuo, since ancient times, there has been indecentness between the monarch and the ministers. Our court uses courtesy for the country, and the country is in danger if the courtesy is abolished. Today, the honor and inferiority in the palace are confused. It is contrary to the system, and it does not conform to the etiquette. I hope that the empress can clearly distinguish."
Behind the jade curtain, the face behind the sky was cold, and he sat quietly with his sleeves hanging down. Hearing the words, he said slowly: "The etiquette system is respected and cannot be abolished. As you said, shouldn't I sit here?"
Han Bo paused, bowed down and kowtowed, and said again: "The duty of the minister is, and I hope that the empress will make amends."
Facing this servant Yushi who has always been known for his uprightness, Qing Chen frowned slightly, but before he could speak, Feng Yan snorted coldly: "Ignorant minister, you are talking nonsense here, why should your mother bother with him?" Gossip? Go out of the palace, come here!" He summoned the guards in front of the Queen of Heaven and all the ministers, and pointed at Han Bo: "Take him out!"
Qing Chen was furious in his heart, and his eyes sharpened, but he suppressed his anger when he saw the other empty unicorn gold case nearby. Feng Yan's domineering and presumptuousness made all the officials surprised and angry. His Highness Han Bo broke away from the guards who stepped forward to push him, and suddenly shouted at the throne: "Your Majesty! A treacherous minister is in power, and the country will not be a country. Today, I would rather die to repay the grace of God, and I must not destroy my court and minister Gangji! "He kowtowed heavily and raised his head, his face was covered with blood.
Feng Yan's complexion darkened, just as he was about to explode, Qing Chen suddenly tightened his hand beside the Feng seat, and shouted: "What's the proper way to make noise in front of the imperial court?"
The chaotic situation in the palace was quiet for a while, when a long announcement was heard outside: "His Royal Highness King Zhan is here!"
The waiter Gao Liang's long voice came, like waves breaking through water, breaking through the deadlock in an instant. All the officials turned around, and saw that King Zhan was dressed in Yunlong uniform, with a light shirt, and was spotless. He stepped on the jade steps and climbed the sky. With a startled glance in Zhan Jun's eyes, he walked past the hall, Jue Ran Fengshen even Feng Yan stared blankly.
He came late to the state banquet celebration, Feng Yan snorted secretly, this alone could cure his disgrace. The officials in the palace were surprised, happy and worried, and many of them broke into a cold sweat for King Zhan.
When King Zhan entered the palace, the servant in front of the imperial court followed the etiquette and proclaimed loudly again: "Kneel—knock—"
However, King Zhan had no intention of saluting. He stood in front of the steps with his hands behind his back, his eyes swept over Han Bo and other ministers, and looked up the hall. mean.
Feng Yan also couldn't get up, and said in a deep voice: "Dare to ask why the prince neglected the imperial decree and came late on purpose? What's the meaning of not worshiping when entering the palace?"
King Zhan's face was pale, he sneered, and said proudly: "This king worships the father of heaven and earth, and the king of the world can worship heroes and heroes. At this time, there is no king and no father in this Taiji hall, and the young people occupy the high position. Who does Xiangfeng want this king to pay homage to?" ?” As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves and walked straight to the table.
Feng Yan's heart was getting more and more angry. He was confident at this time, and he didn't put King Zhan in his eyes. The court scolded: "Bold! The Queen of Heaven is here, and you turn a blind eye. What do you want?"
King Zhan smiled when he heard the words, turned around leisurely, stopped his eyes in front of the jade curtain, and bowed to the Queen of Heaven: "Minister, see Your Majesty." This bow is a family ritual.
"Your Majesty has worked hard." A sentence floated out from behind the jade curtain, like a light slap of pearls and jade, Lingling spread to everyone's ears.
Feng Yan suddenly had a strange intuition, and turned to look at Luan Zuo. The crystal light and shadow sprinkled pieces of crystal clear, slightly flickering, like thin ice blades, like autumn water sword marks. Tianhou's slender and cold phoenix eyes looked head-on through the jade light, and then turned to King Zhan. Between the lightning and the flint, the two eyes meet in an instant.
There was always a slight smile on King Zhan's lips. He stepped up the golden steps and said in a deep voice, "Where is the imperial servant in the palace?"
Han Bo and the other two censors heard the words and took a step forward: "The minister is here!"
King Zhan asked, "What is the crime for overstepping the rules in the courtier's palace?"
Han Bo raised his head to look at Feng Yan, and said angrily: "A minister's disrespect and overreach is a crime of usurpation. It is a great disrespect. It can be demoted to serve the people if it is light, but it can be punished if it is serious!"
King Zhan nodded, turned around, and said in a cold voice, "Can you hear Prime Minister Feng clearly?"
Feng Yan looked at King Zhan, his eyes burst out with brilliance, the surrounding bells were still faintly heard, and the music was fluttering, but the front of the hall was already full of swords and arrows. When all the ministers stood up in fear, they suddenly saw Feng Yan brushing the table, and the Chi jade cup in his hand fell to the ground with a "bang", the beautiful jade shattered, and the fine wine splashed.
As if in response to the crisp sound, hundreds of royal guards appeared from the shadows around the hall without warning, and quickly surrounded the banquet table. With the light sound of the sword armor colliding and the sound of boots falling to the ground, the tall and heavy door of the Tai Chi Hall slowly closed, and there was a loud bang, which isolated the night world from the outside, and the entire hall became a golden and green cage.
The shocking change shocked all the officials in the palace on the spot. Feng Yan showed arrogance on his face, and his ambitions inflated rapidly. He almost laughed out loud. He pointed at His Royal Highness and said loudly: "King Zhan is conspiring against you, the guards on the left and right, Take it down quickly!"
At this time, King Zhan suddenly heard a clear high-five in the hall. He seemed to have just watched a wonderful show, and he couldn't help but praise him.
"Prime Minister Feng is good at tricks!" Accompanied by his smart clapping, the imperial guards in front of the palace moved in response. The two teams of guards drew their swords out of their sheaths and quickly stepped up the dragon steps, but they passed beside King Zhan and went straight to Fengyan's seat. The rest of the people also acted swiftly and quickly surrounded all the relatives of the Feng family. Under the shadow of swords and swords, exclamations and curses sounded from all around, making a mess. The members of the Feng family encountered sudden changes, and they were unable to resist, and were arrested by the imperial guards in a short while.
When the incident happened suddenly, Feng Yan couldn't help but change his expression. He was startled and angry, struggling and shouting: "What crime did I commit? How dare you be rude!"
I saw the jade curtain in the hall swaying slightly, and the Queen of Heaven got up and stepped down from the Luan seat. With her phoenix clothes fluttering and her ring wearing Qingyue, she walked along the radiant jade steps, her eyes meeting King Zhan's in the air.
He has come back, and he has come to her promise of life and death by riding the turbulent waves all the way, and he is full of elegance and pride to hold up this picturesque country.
The bottom of his dark eyes is like a flashy late night, like an autumn lake that has gone through wind and rain, with too many things deposited, all of which turn into a light and elegant smile behind the calm.
A gentleman is magnanimous, and friends meet each other. There are always some people in this life who are worth trusting with their lives.
Qing Chen walked to the middle of the palace steps step by step, but his quiet steps and smiling face made Feng Yan suddenly feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
"What crime did Prime Minister Feng commit, don't you know? You instigated the imperial physician Huang Wenshang to murder the Holy Majesty, frame King Zhan, send a pregnant daughter to bed, and pretend to be the emperor to usurp the throne. The Feng family is arrogant and domineering, Killing important officials, messing up the government and harming the country, the crime is unforgivable, and the nine clans should be punished..." The flat and clear voice was like a cold stream flowing through the palace that was originally in a panic, and the place it passed seemed to spread like thin ice, and the voices of the people disappeared , the words are silent.
Everyone stood still and looked at the Queen of Heaven above the main hall, with shock, surprise, doubt, and admiration... However, there was only deep pity on one person's face.
Standing by the steps of the palace, King Zhan raised his eyes and stared. The palace lanterns were shining brightly, and she was dressed in beautiful clothes and phoenix glow. She stood in the middle of the crowd, shining brightly, but it seemed that she had never stayed here.
In front of him is still the woman in white clothes without makeup, every frown and smile is a mystery that he can't solve in his life. He met her, missed her, but at this moment, he truly possessed her.
The world of mortals is self-provoking, and deep love without regret is a saha.
Suddenly, Feng Yan, who was escorted by the guards, let out a burst of laughter, as if he had heard the most ridiculous thing in the world, and raised his head and asked: "The Feng family has an unforgivable crime, you should punish the nine clans! Haha... aren't you from the Feng family, aren't you?" The old man's daughter is not among the nine families of the Feng family!"
Qing Chen walked slowly in front of Feng Yan, lowered her eyes lightly, the clear brilliance directly pressed Feng Yan's eyes, she smiled, and said softly: "You are wrong, I am nobody, I am just Ye Tianling's wife." Raising his voice, he turned around with a flick of his sleeves: "I'm just the queen of the Celestial Dynasty. The country's thieves can be killed, and the rebellious ministers should be punished. Even the Feng family is the same!"
Feng Yan felt extremely hated at this moment, pointed his halberd and cursed angrily: "Demon girl! The emperor has already died of serious illness. You colluded with King Zhan internally and externally to seek the throne. Is it possible that you also want to serve your elder brother first and then marry his younger brother? Is it against etiquette and incest?"
The ministers were startled, and King Zhan couldn't bear it anymore, and angrily reprimanded: "Shut up!" Suddenly, a cold voice came from the hall: "Feng Yan, do you dare to say this again in front of me?"
Hearing the sound, Feng Yan suddenly looked up as if struck by lightning. Above the dragon steps, behind the golden curtain, Emperor Hao walked out slowly. The hall is surrounded by colorful lamps, and the golden light shines brightly, reflecting his solemnity and aloofness in his dragon robe. When he raised his eyes, his shocking gaze pierced people's hearts.
The ministers were overjoyed when they saw the emperor for the first time. Han Bo and the others cried and knelt on the ground in amazement. Following them, a crowd of ministers knelt down in front of the palace. As dead ashes.
Ye Tianling looked at Feng Yan, and asked in a cold voice: "The nine families of the Feng family are indeed not to be underestimated, but I want to bury them today, so what can you do?"
The person he was most worried about, who was already dying, suddenly appeared in front of him. Feng Yan stood stiffly in the hall, with his fingers in front of him, his lips trembling, but he couldn't speak a word. Jing, General Tang Chu of the Fujun Army, and others came forward one by one to report to the emperor: "A total of 117 members of the Feng clan's rebellious party were detained on the spot in the palace. They were all confiscated. Feng Lu, the political envoy of Hanzhong, and Feng Yu, the chief envoy of Guang'an, were dismissed and punished for crimes, and they have been secretly imprisoned..." Finally, Feng Yan heard the calm and clear voice of King Zhan: "Feng Ke, the chief envoy of the East China Sea, rectified his troops. The four prefectures of Wen, Xian, Lang, and Ji were temporarily put under the command of Si Weiyun, the Minister of Zhongshu, and Pang Yuan, the governor of the Donghai Navy, and the army and the people are stable."
No news of the earth-shaking action was sent back to Tiandu, the world was in his palm, and the whole world was overturned. Feng Yan stared straight at the stern and domineering figure in the Taiji Hall, and the overwhelming fear of Mount Tai mercilessly drove him into the abyss. His whole body softened, and he murmured four words: "Feng's family is over." He suddenly felt a darkness in front of his eyes, his previous arrogance was completely destroyed by the cold gaze, and he couldn't even raise the thought of resistance.
Qing Chen lowered his eyes faintly, a trace of compassion flitted past, alternated with the calm luster at the bottom of his eyes, and turned into a deepness. "Take it down." She waved off her cloud sleeves, and the Xuanjia guards responded in unison.
But in a moment, the dust settled in the Taiji Hall, all madness and greed, all ambition and struggle, disappeared silently in the brilliant light and shadow, submerged in the sound of the imperial bells and drums.
Shao Le rose again, the officials kowtowed, and Ye Tianling stretched out his hand to Qing Chen, with thin lips slightly raised, staring with a smile.
His proud smile stayed in Qing Chen's eyes, filled with a beautiful brilliance. Hand in hand in this life, life and death are inseparable, laughing at the mountains and rivers, the world is home. She looked at him brightly, walked calmly, and put her hand in his palm.
Shaking Qing Chen's hand again, Ye Tianling took her gently, and stood with her on the highest point of the Dazheng Palace, where all the people from all over the world crawled under their feet.
Thousands of lights shine out dazzling light, reflecting the golden brilliance of the moonlight, creating this magnificent imperial palace, a heaven on earth, with a magnificent momentum, overlooking the joys and sorrows of all living beings.
In the vast mountains and rivers, the endless years, the shouts of the ministers shook all directions, and went straight into the sky.
The full moon in the sky shines on the universe, shining for thousands of miles.
