As Zuo Cheng of Zhongshu Province, He Yi should have stood under the main hall and stood with all civil and military officials, but because of Zhu Feng's special situation, he did not.
Instead, he stood above the main hall, behind the concubines.
Stand with the steward.
He looked around, and suddenly frowned, and immediately, a familiar figure came up from behind the crowd, and stood beside him panting.
"You're finally here."
He Yi said calmly: "I thought you would get angry and not participate in tomorrow's canonization ceremony."
"snort!"
Ye Zheng stood beside him, and said with a displeased face: "Do you think I really want to come? I'm too busy with family affairs. But today's such a big scene, how can I do it without me?"
"What about your family?"
He Yi turned to look at him suspiciously, and immediately found a few imperceptible scratches on that fair face.
Seeing him, Ye Zheng immediately stretched out his hands to wipe his face uncomfortably.
"Is it still obvious? Can't you see it?"
"Ran Xiaoyu caught him?"
Facing the half-smile in Shang Heyi's eyes, Ye Zheng sighed helplessly, and said, "When she gets angry, she strikes, what can I do? I can't catch her back."
He Yi couldn't help laughing, but his expression slowly turned serious, and he said, "She already knows about the Emperor's canonization of Concubine Ning today?"
"I originally wanted to hide it from him, but the matter has already spread so much that I can't hide it."
"She, is she very angry?"
"Needless to say, who can not be angry?"
Ran Xiaoyu and the noble concubine are not only a master and servant, but also a sister. Now that the noble concubine has been kidnapped and her life and death are unknown, the emperor wants to confer the title of another woman as Concubine Ning, and holds a canonization ceremony with great fanfare.
Although they are all Zhu Feng's confidantes, they should favor the emperor over the concubine due to reason and reason, but in this matter, they really feel sorry for the concubine.
But they are also very clear about the emperor's situation.
It can only be said to be a trick of God.
He Yi said: "Then how is Ran Xiaoyu doing now?"
"There was a lot of trouble in the past two days. Today I persuaded her for a long time, and finally calmed down. I let her stay at the house and didn't let her come with me, so as not to be irritated after watching this grand ceremony."
"..."
He Yi turned to look at him.
Ye Zheng was terrified by his deep eyes, and asked, "What do you see me doing?"
"..." He Yi was silent for a while, and then said again: "It's rare that Ran Xiaoyu is so obedient."
Ye Zheng frowned slightly when he said this.
But at this time, he was not allowed to think too much.
As soon as she looked up, Concubine Ning, who had luxurious makeup, was already facing the north, bowing three times and kowtow respectfully.
After this ceremony, the maid of honor stepped forward and said loudly to the hall: "Read the book."
The bachelor walked over and picked up Concubine Ning's canonization document from the table.
The emperor and empress stood side by side, watching this scene.
Suddenly, Xu Miaoyin felt that Zhu Feng beside him shook slightly again. He put his hand on his forehead and let out a low hum.
"Well."
"The emperor? What's the matter with the emperor?"
"..."
That familiar feeling came again.
Zhu Feng couldn't tell what was strange in his heart, but the grand ceremony had already been held, so naturally there couldn't be any mistakes. He just waved his hand gently at Xu Miaoyin and said in a low voice, "I'm fine."
Xu Miaoyin glanced at him again.
This is the book of the University Scholars' Exhibition read aloud: "The world is smooth, the beginning of all things-"
"etc!"
A voice suddenly sounded from under the hall, interrupting the reading.
Everyone was shocked again.
In fact, from entering the palace today, everyone has a feeling that Concubine Ning's canonization ceremony is almost exactly the same as the canonization of imperial concubine in form.
For Concubine Ning, this naturally means catching up with the concubine.
But everything is too much the same.
Even when the Grand Master read the book, he was interrupted at the same word.
Zhu Feng only felt a huge wave rising out of nowhere and hitting his head hard.
The waves broke into countless splashing spray.
And among these waves, it seems that a person's face is reflected.
He frowned, trying to see clearly, but he couldn't see clearly. He just felt dizzy, as if he was standing on a cloud and was about to fall down at any moment.
It's a strange feeling.
But Concubine Ning on the other side didn't notice this, she just frowned when she saw someone coming forward to stop her.
I already knew that today's canonization would not go so smoothly.
But when she saw the person coming out from below, her face became ugly.
Liu Yueze.
A few days ago, the newly appointed head of the criminal department.
At the same time, he is also the uncle of the imperial concubine and Gu Tingqiu's disciple.
But these are not important, what is more important is that Qin Ruolan remembered that the case where he framed King Wei with anti-poetry was handled by this person.
What is he going to do now
Thinking of this, Qin Ruolan's face became ugly.
And Zhu Feng has already stepped forward, looking down at the figure below: "You—"
"Liu Yueze, head of the criminal department of Weichen, risked his life to speak out."
"Dare to speak out?"
Zhu Feng frowned, and said: "You disturbed Concubine Ning's canonization ceremony, it is indeed a capital crime, what are you going to say?!"
Everyone only looked at this fair and refined young man, stepped forward, held up a volume in his hand, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the Great Yan is about to perish, please Your Majesty to save the country in a crisis."
"What did you say?"
Not only did Zhu Feng's face darken upon hearing these words, but the surrounding people were also shocked.
Great Flame is about to perish
Isn't this a curse on the dynasty, a curse on the emperor
Does this person really want to live
Zhu Feng's face was ashen, and he said in a deep voice: "You said that the Great Yan will perish, tell me a reason, otherwise, I will punish you for deceiving the emperor!"
Facing him, Liu Yueze was fearless and said loudly: "Your Majesty, since the founding of the Great Yan Dynasty, the world has been ruled by rites and the people by law, but today the emperor's actions are rude and lawless, and he regards rites and laws as nothing."
"..."
"The emperor has done this, the chaos in the world is just around the corner, and the demise of the Great Yan Dynasty, isn't it also in the blink of an eye?"
Zhu Feng frowned even tighter: "What do you mean by saying that what I did today was rude and lawless?"
Liu Yueze stretched out his finger, pointed and said loudly: "This woman is a criminal woman recorded by the Ministry of Punishment. She has not been upright, and her name has not been certified."
"..."
"Such a person, how can the emperor be registered as a concubine and set an example for the world."
Qin Ruolan's face suddenly turned pale.
Without waiting for any reaction from the people above, Liu Yueze said loudly again: "Concubine Ning is at the end of all the concubines. There is a rule in my dynasty. Except for the canonization of queens and noble concubines, a canonization ceremony will be held, and the rest of the concubines will be conferred. There cannot be a grand ceremony."
"..."
"However, the emperor canonize Concubine Ning today, and the form of the grand ceremony is no different from that of concubine Ning."
"..."
"What the emperor did today combined 'rudeness' and 'lawlessness'!"
"..."
"Isn't this a sign of subjugation?!"
His sound, every word, sounded like thunder above the main hall, and also exploded above everyone's heads. No one thought that a white-faced scholar who looked delicate and even a little frail could actually stand in front of Zhu Feng. Say such shocking words.
As for Zhu Feng, he couldn't speak a single word.
Not only that, he was questioned.
More importantly—
Concubine!
These two words came out of nowhere, without any precautions, and instantly shocked him.
Concubine... Concubine...
If it is said that I felt the familiar feeling everywhere in this canonized hall before, like the impact of surging waves, then these two words are like sea water mixed with ice edges and knives.
One by one, he stabbed into his body, even into his brain.
Suddenly, a burst of severe pain hit.
Zhu Feng's expression suddenly changed.
The people around were also caught off guard when they heard the word "Imperial Concubine", and they all showed expressions of astonishment. Xu Miaoyin almost subconsciously turned her head to look at Zhu Feng.
Oops!
She hastily stretched out her hand to support Zhu Feng, and said softly, "Your Majesty, how are you doing, Your Majesty?"
"Well-"
Zhu Feng was speechless.
Concubine... Concubine...
Someone kept shouting in his mind, as if someone kept stabbing him with a knife in his mind, and he was in severe pain.
Qin Ruolan also became impatient, and immediately pointed at Liu Yueze and said, "You, you are so courageous!"
"..."
"My palace canonize the grand ceremony, how can you allow you, a small head of the criminal department, to talk nonsense and break the rules of the ceremony. Come and arrest him!"
The surrounding guards hesitated for a while.
Although they should obey orders, Concubine Ning has not been canonized yet, and even if she was canonized successfully, her status is indeed not high enough to order them.
The emperor hasn't spoken yet.
And at this moment, a cool voice sounded from the side——
"Why are you so alarmed?"
Qin Ruolan turned her head and saw that it was Concubine Kang Wu Wan standing in the crowd, looking at her with a sneer: "Concubine Ning... oh, I haven't been canonized yet, I'm calling early."
"..."
Qin Ruolan's brows were twisted into a knot.
She couldn't help thinking in her heart, could it be that Wu Wan and this person surnamed Liu are in harmony
Impossible, Liu Yueze must be from the imperial concubine's side. Concubine Kang and the imperial concubine were originally enemies, and it is impossible for them to unite after the imperial concubine was robbed.
She let out a deep breath: "What does Concubine Kang want to say?"
Wu Wan said slowly: "I just think that the words of the head of the Criminal Department seem to be right."
"..."
"No matter what the etiquette is, after all, you are still a criminal registered at the Ministry of Criminal Justice."
"..."
"Besides, this Lord Liu is discussing etiquette with the emperor."
"..."
"Every word and every sentence he said is for the orthodoxy of our Great Yan Dynasty. It is said that you can't punish a doctor or treat a common man. Why do you want someone to drag him down? This—could it be your guilty conscience? Yet?"
