Yu Fu finally looked up.
He was wearing a bright gold robe of dragon coming out of the clouds, and a nine-bead gilt crown on his head. He was sitting on a high golden dragon chair, and his eyes could not be seen clearly in the dazzling eyes.
He smiled, with the corners of his mouth slightly turned up, and facing his own direction, "If you hadn't presided over the overall situation in time, which one of him, Ximenchuang or Mo Huangsha, could have managed the chaos in the imperial capital? I wanted to reward you, so I rewarded them both along the way." .”
Another person stood up in the seat, and it was Mo Huangsha who "dropped in" and won the reward. He and Ximenchuang stood together to thank Ning Chengzhi, and to Yuyu to help him.
Yu Fu frowned slightly, his eyes were covered with a haze.
In front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, Ning Chengzhi raised her up and boasted of her like this, what exactly is he trying to do
Seeing that Yu Fu was silent, he waved his hand to let Ximen and Windows sit down.
The fireworks outside hadn't finished yet, and the loud explosions disturbed her. She looked at the seat opposite, and several senior ministers were all concerned.
Although she is young, she understands why they are related.
The sound of silk and bamboo suddenly sounded, and two teams of maikos poured in outside the door, wearing thin and revealing clothes in the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, and the silver bells on their ankles rang happily.
"His Majesty-"
When Yu Fu opened his mouth, the sound of silk and bamboo stopped immediately, and the two groups of dancers froze in place, not daring to move.
All eyes were on her.
Yu Fu suddenly stood up, "The late emperor's funeral is less than three months old, even though we want to celebrate the Spring Festival, we should not be too extravagant. The fireworks, rituals, music, singing and dancing, fine wine...all are of no benefit to mourning the late emperor, please think again, Your Majesty. "
Her words spoke out the hearts of many old ministers. Old Chen Ge and others looked at her in surprise and couldn't help admiring. They didn't want this much-loved eldest princess to be so sensible.
Those rumors about her miraculous are really well-deserved.
At the same time, the Golden Palace fell into silence, and no one dared to speak before Ning Chengzhi.
It's not that no one has said what Yu Fu said.
As early as when the Ministry of Rituals was arranging the eve palace banquet, the cabinet ministers headed by Chen Gelao jointly wrote a letter, admonishing Ning Chengzhi not to be too extravagant during the filial piety, but the excerpts that were written were ignored.
Later, they got the news from the inner prisoner in the palace that Ning Chengzhi dropped their papers in the imperial study room, and threatened that if he hadn't signed the letter jointly, he would definitely beat the person who wrote the letter 50 times.
Being so tyrannical and tyrannical, a group of old officials were physically and mentally exhausted after the assassination of the late emperor, and they were no longer able to control the new emperor they themselves elected.
Until these words were uttered from Yu Fu’s mouth, in front of the whole hall full of civil and military ministers—
Ji Daogong looked at Gu Huaijiang, Gu Huaijiang father and son looked at each other, worried that Ning Chengzhi would be unfavorable to Yufu.
"Hahaha!"
Laughter broke the deadlock on the field, and Ning Chengzhi waved his hand, "Yu Fu is right, let's take down all the singing and dancing performances, and ask no fireworks outside!"
As he spoke, he picked up the wine bottle, suddenly realized something, and poured the wine behind him, "Come on, replace all the wine in the palace with tea, and I'll toast Princess Zhenjiang with tea instead of wine!"
He didn't get angry, instead he acted according to Yu Fu's words.
The gazes of all the veterans looking at Yu Fu suddenly became different. Is it true that, as the rumors say, His Majesty wanted to make Princess Zhenjiang his empress, so he obeyed her
In fact, if there is such a virtuous and intelligent queen assisting His Majesty, Dong Ling's court situation may still be saved.
pity…
Ji Daogong and Chen Gel looked at Gu Shubai almost at the same time, with inexplicable emotions in their eyes.
The eldest princess had promised Gu Hou's son a long time ago, and the two fell in love with each other as childhood sweethearts. After taking the throne, His Majesty has suppressed Gu Hou's mansion many times, and if he seized the wife of a courtier, wouldn't it be criticized by the world
Elder Chen Ge let out a long sigh.
He has never regretted what he has done like today, but now he has some regrets. If the eldest prince was allowed to ascend the throne in a daze, would the result be better than now
All the ministers stared blankly at the wine on their table being replaced with tea. No one dared to raise any objections. Ning Chengzhi held up the tea cup and respected Yufu, who drank it expressionlessly.
Ning Chengzhi said: "In order to express the grief for the late emperor, maikos will not be allowed to perform today. However, there are also many ladies who entered the palace today. When the late emperor was here, he liked to let the ladies perform at the banquet. Today we will be the late emperor. Now, how about expressing your condolences to him?"
Several young ladies in the audience showed joy, they thought that after Yufu said that, the talents they had prepared would be useless, but they didn't expect a turnaround.
There is no room for rebuttal to entertain the palace banquet in the form that the late emperor liked.
Ning Chengzhi said again: "Since we want to express our condolences to the late emperor, all unmarried ladies attending the banquet today must participate, and I will also come to give you a good start."
As they clapped their hands, four or five young eunuchs outside the hall brought in a tall seat with the same gold-plated base as the Golden Dragon Chair. The only difference was that the phoenix was carved on the seat.
This is Phoenix!
The ministers were discussing a lot, and the eyes of those young ladies showed eagerness, and they were energetically trying to stand out in the performance for a while.
Ning Chengzhi smiled and said: "I have been on the throne for two months, and the post is vacant. The first emperor died of illness for many years, so this phoenix seat has not been raised for decades. Today I will use it as a prize, Let one of the ladies take this seat."
As soon as this remark came out, not to mention the ladies, even the ministers were extremely excited.
The later position cannot be established casually, it is related to the foundation of the country, the ministers with daughters in the palace are full of expectations, while Ji Daogong and other veteran ministers are worried that the establishment will be inhumane.
Gu Shubai looked at Yufu, who looked back at him and nodded slightly.
There was a little smile in those big bright eyes, signaling him to rest assured that no matter what Ning Chengzhi brought Fengzuo out for today, she would not take that position.
"Your Majesty, can my concubines also participate in the performance?"
The next concubine stood up, and Yu Fu recognized that it was Ning Chengzhi's only side concubine before he ascended the throne.
After Ning Chengzhi ascended the throne, she didn't confer the posthumous position. She thought she had hope, but she didn't want him to just confer her a Concubine Li and be done with it. Concubine Li was naturally unwilling.
Ning Chengzhi glanced at her, "You are already a concubine, and you are not an unmarried girl, so why join in the fun?"
Concubine Li pouted with a puffed face, it was useless to act coquettishly, and when she sat down, she glanced angrily at Yufu.
What about taking the phoenix seat as a lottery, what about choosing one of the ladies here to be the queen, Ning Chengzhi's words can fool others but not her!
She knew that the queen he wanted to establish was just Yu Fu.
Ning Chengzhi looked down, he was not familiar with the daughters of ministers and ministers in the court, in the past palace banquets appointed which lady to perform this kind of thing first, it was all done by the concubine who was in charge of the harem.
Concubine Xian is long dead now, only Concubine Li has a certain status in his harem, and the rest are not high-ranking concubines in the second prince's mansion.
He then said to Concubine Li: "Forget it, I'll give you a lottery, you decide the order in which everyone will perform."
Concubine Li rolled her eyes and glanced at the ladies below, and suddenly saw a person she had not seen for a long time, she immediately had an idea.
She pointed to one of them, and the gemstones on the pointed gold-plated armor were shining brightly, "Let Miss Liu come first!"
Among the crowd, a slim woman stood up, wearing a dazzling silk pomegranate flower palace dress, she was Liu Ruyi, the daughter of Liu Zhen, Minister of the Ministry of Officials.
Yu Fu saw that she looked familiar, and suddenly remembered that she was the Liu Ruyi who was rude to him at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, and was later punished by the late emperor and never allowed to enter the palace again.
How did she come into the palace
Yin Shuo, who was sitting under her and had been silent all this time, suddenly leaned over his head, "After His Majesty ascended the throne, he gave amnesty to all quarters, and Liu Zhen, as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, his daughter was not allowed to enter the palace, so His Majesty naturally pardoned it by the way."
Seeing him approaching Yufu, Gu Shubai frowned slightly, and finally restrained himself.
The location of Yufu is so far away from the location of Guhou's Mansion, it can be seen that Ning Chengzhi just doesn't want them to be together, he can't rebel in public.
Fortunately, Yu Fu kept the distance from Yin Shuo calmly.
"Oh? So that's the case, but His Majesty looked at these ladies in a daze, as if he didn't know anyone. How could he remember to pardon a woman who is not allowed to enter the palace? Prime Minister Yin has a lot of things going on every day. You must have reminded His Majesty, right?"
Yin Shuo couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, thinking that it was very interesting for Yufu to talk to him with a gun in such a way, no matter how ugly she said, he couldn't get angry with her.
"Yeah, as the prime minister, shouldn't I befriend all the officials?"
Whether to make friends or win over, everyone knows, Yu Fu gave him a blank look, and didn't speak anymore.
