Seeing the pained look on Su Yang's face, Zong Huan felt a hint of happiness in his heart, this little goblin tortured himself all the time, and now it's time to make him suffer.
He also heard about the empress dowager's flower viewing banquet. He said that it was to enjoy flowers and eat tea. In fact, he went with the idea of picking the right concubine for Zong Xu. When Zong Xu came back, the empress dowager would definitely ask him to take a look. Even if he wanted to avoid suspicion, he should have pushed the invitation, but he was fine. Not only did he go in person, but he also dressed up to attend.
He learned from the dark guard that Tong Jiabao was in the limelight at the flower viewing banquet, and was praised by Zong Xu in public: he was the most beautiful and the most beautiful.
Those who are next to the boudoir are not good at it, but they are good at talking. These two people are nothing, and they have to be spread out, not to mention everyone knows that Tong Jiabao assassinated the emperor in order to be King Wu.
Su Yang looked at his angry expression, and felt helpless in his heart. In his eyes, love was not as important as life. He didn't want Zong Huan to repeat the same mistakes and follow the old path of Mo Yan and Jing Cheng. But he wasn't. He wanted them both to live well, even if he hated them.
He frowned and muttered, "You hurt me."
Zong Huan's sinister gaze slowly swept across his face, and finally landed on his ingenious collarbone, only to see a little bit of red plum-like blood overflowing from the flawless skin of the white jade, which looked extremely magnificent and splendid, he couldn't help it. He stretched out the tip of his tongue and rolled the blood red into his mouth, the faint bloody smell mixed with a familiar sweet taste, making his whole soul scream and yearn, unable to stop.
He pulled Su Yang into his arms and forced the teenager to raise his neck, his thin lips covered the bleeding wound, and he slowly licked and sucked. Su Yang could only feel a slight tingling, and the blood flowing to the neck meridians. The unreal feeling of gathering, he suddenly gave birth to a trace of fear, will this man just suck his blood dry
Zong Huan naturally wouldn't suck him dry, he was just addicted, he was addicted to this goblin and couldn't extricate himself, but the other party's heart was always thinking of others, which made him uneasy and even more unwilling!
He began to wonder if it was the right decision for him to let Zong Xu return to Beijing. Since he issued this imperial decree, this little cub has often been haunted and occasionally cried in his dreams. All in sight.
The most powerful and powerful emperor in the world also has people who can't get it, and a heart that he can't get.
But it was Zong Xu, his closest brother, and the person he hated the most in the world.
It is also the flesh and blood that was born in ten months of pregnancy. The queen mother favored Zong Xu far more than him. The first emperor put him into the cold palace and ignored him, but he placed great importance on Zong Xu. They clearly have the same blood in their bodies. One is the favored son of heaven, and the other has been imposed the name of the evil star and magic star, and it is difficult to move in the harem.
Although he was the one who finally ascended the throne, the empress dowager's most beloved and biased son is still Zong Xu. Now, even his most cherished treasure is Zong Xu.
He is a person who is unwilling to admit defeat. Letting him admit that he is jealous of Zong Xu is like admitting that he is at a disadvantage, so no matter how unwilling he is, he will not say a weak word.
Tasting the sweet blood in his mouth, the anger in Zong Huan's heart gradually subsided, and Su Yang's face was pale, completely frightened.
Zong Huan raised his hand to tidy up his messy clothes, and said slowly: "The Mid-Autumn Festival dinner will be in three days. I ordered someone to prepare new clothes for you. The Shangyi Bureau should deliver them today. Take the time to try and see if they fit. "
Before Su Yang could answer, he turned around and left first. Su Yang looked at his back as he left in a hurry, and whispered thanks.
=========
Three days later, the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner was held in Fengyi Building, and all the princes and ministers in Beijing attended, which was very lively.
This Fengyi Building was built by the former Emperor Taizu, in order to please Empress Xiaomin Duanxian, the wife of the first emperor.
If it were another emperor who would entertain the ministers at the Fengyi Building, I was afraid that it would lead to a lot of suspicion. Could it be that the sage wanted to stand up? However, if it was replaced by their monarch who had no taboos, there was nothing to guess. It was probably because the sage had a whim, and felt that the scenery of Fengyi Building was good, and it was a good place to admire the moon.
Zong Huan sat on the main seat and looked at the courtier who was laughing at Yan Yan under the stage, with a flash of impatience in his eyes, and he waved to the side.
Wang Dequan hurried over, and Zonghuan asked, "Where are the others?"
"The slave has already called someone to invite him. Calculate the time, it should be almost there."
As soon as the voice fell, there was a soft shout from outside the hall, and Su Yang slowly stepped into the hall under the shocked eyes of everyone. He wears a green and luxurious jade crown, with a gilt phoenix print hairpin on his head, his thick black hair is tied up high, and he is dressed in a bright red phoenix embroidered gold brocade robe, his face is peach-colored, noble and gorgeous.
However, it is not his appearance that attracts people's attention. The most important thing in this harem is beauty. Which of the four noble concubines surrounding the Queen Mother is not stunning, but his redness is really eye-catching.
The Jin Dynasty respected dark colors, the emperors were the five-clawed dragon-patterned black emperor robes, and the bright red, in addition to the prince, only the queen could wear it. This eunuch wore a bright red, how could he not be called People were amazed.
Su Yang naturally knew that, he was not an ignorant person. He knew that wearing this dress to attend the dinner would definitely cause a sensation, but Zong Huan had avoided him for the past few days, and no matter how many opinions he had, there was nowhere to mention it. Tuo was not able to come, but Ah Hong forcibly dressed neatly and brought it here.
That little girl is highly skilled in martial arts, not to mention Su Yang's weak body, but her body is strong, how can she beat her.
At this point, fortunately, he is very thick-skinned, and he is not in the slightest stage fright when stared at by so many pairs of eyes, and walks to the upper seat generously.
Zong Huan hadn't seen him for three days, and he was thinking hard. Before Su Yang walked up to him, he stood up impatiently, took the cool hand, and pulled him to sit beside him.
The empress dowager frowned, but thinking of the grand occasion of the Qianqiu Palace that day, she closed her mouth after all.
Zong Xu sat on the lower right of her and poured himself a cup of tea.
This is the best Longjing tribute tribute in the south of the Yangtze River. The water for making tea is the morning dew collected from the peony flowers. On the palate, there is a slight aftertaste lingering between the lips and teeth.
Interest flashed in his eyes. At this time, such a noble young man, when the gu poison broke out, how miserable and helpless should he be, so pitiful? Tong Jiabao had done things for him. Although he had never communicated with each other, he knew that this little eunuch was very afraid of death.
Zong Huan held Su Yang's hand and said in a low voice, "Why are you born so late, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Su Yang bit his head and said, "This dress... it doesn't make sense."
"Yu Li doesn't fit..." Zong Huan sneered with his lips hooked: "I shouted at me, called me by my name, and even played with me. Why didn't you talk about Yu Li or not at that time? Well, today is a day of great joy. , and these accounts will be settled sooner or later.”
Su Yang couldn't turn around for a while and asked, "What big day..."
Zong Huan reached out and stroked his hair, and said quietly, "You will know soon."
Being stared at by those deep, impenetrable eyes, Su Yang felt a little uneasy, this man is like a loyal big dog when he is obedient, he can send the whole world to you, but he is crazy. At that time, it is comparable to a ferocious tiger and wolf, and no one can stop it.
The banquet entered a climax, Zong Huan raised his hand without rushing, raised his glass and said, "Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, I am having fun with all the Aiqings, and I wish my country of Great Jin peace and prosperity."
His tone is casual, and even his demeanor shows laziness and casualness, but he gives people infinite confidence, as if he is the master of this world, his words will definitely become reality, and it is worthy of everyone to follow and surrender.
All the ministers got up and knelt down, and shouted in unison: "May my country be prosperous and peaceful! Prosperity forever! Long live my emperor! Long live!"
Zong Huan raised the corners of his lips and said slowly, "I once heard people say that the so-called Son of Heaven is the one who inherits the destiny, exercises the authority of the heaven, and is blessed by the gods, but I suffered a lot when I was young, because As soon as I was born, the Empress Dowager went west on a crane, and I often heard people talk behind their backs, saying that I had killed the Empress Dowager, that I was an ominous person, and that I was the reincarnation of an evil star."
The ministers kneeling on the ground were terrified, not knowing what he meant by bringing up these past events.
"I also once thought so, that I was ominous, that I was not blessed by the gods, and I was not worthy of being the emperor."
Everyone he said was pale, even the empress dowager and king Wu, who had always been calm and composed, changed their faces, and Su Yang quietly pulled his sleeves beside him.
Zong Huan took his hand and said lightly, "Where is the historian?"
The historian hurried out of the queue, knelt down and said, "Wei Chen Meng Tang, I'm meeting with Your Majesty."
Zong Huan said, "Tell me what happened on the eighteenth day of June in the fifth year of Jinhe."
Meng Tang bowed his head, opened the recorded history and said slowly: "In the fifth year of Jinhe, on the eighteenth day of the sixth month, the Qianqiu Palace was flooded, and the fire was so great that the palace people were not allowed to enter it. Gradually, the blue-violet giant dragon leaping in the sky above the Qianqiu Palace, and in an instant, it turned into a soaring phoenix, the dragon and the phoenix are in the world, rare in the world, the emperor's order is kept secret and cannot be passed on."
Zong Huan rubbed his palms and laughed loudly, saying: "What a dragon and a phoenix to come to the world, so it seems that I am indeed the emperor chosen by the gods, and the worthy king of the Jin Dynasty!"
The face of the person who once accused Tong Jiabao of bewitching the master was always pale, and many noble ladies who had chewed their tongues in the back house seemed to swallow several flies. It has been cited but not published, let the rumors spread indiscriminately, it turned out to be waiting for the truth to be revealed today!
Everyone kowtowed and shouted, "Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!"
Zong Huan pulled Su Yang up, and the two stood side by side on the upper seat, he said slowly: "I dare not disobey God's will, although Mr. Tong was once deceived and made a big mistake, he is a lucky star, and now he is a lucky star. Nirvana's rebirth is not the same thing. My queen, he is the only one."
The civil and military officials kneeling on the ground had different expressions. Some bold sons and daughters peeked at the upper seat, looked at the mysterious and red figure, and saw a tall and handsome man holding a noble and elegant boy, black as ink. , red like blood, the two complement each other, indescribably harmonious and beautiful.
Someone asked what should be the inheritance of the descendants. The Queen Mother was overjoyed. She thought that Zong Huan had specially called Zong Xu back and must have this plan. No matter how he was a child of his own brother, could he still pass on the throne to an unrelated person
Unexpectedly, Zonghuan only said lightly: "I will select children from the royal family who have a clean background and good character to raise them personally. Since I am the emperor, I must have chosen the prince according to God's will. There is no need to say more about this."
Innocent family background, good character. In eight words, the sons of the criminal minister Zong Xu were removed from the relationship.
Zong Xu's eyes were gloomy. Although he disdained the charity of others, Zong Huan's actions were clearly hitting him in the face.
=========
Su Yang was in a trance, and he had not recovered when he was led out of the hall by Zong Huan.
Fengyi Tower is the highest point of the entire imperial city. At this time, the fireworks of the Mid-Autumn Festival rise, and the whole sky is illuminated by brilliant firelights. The night is instantly shrouded by the day, and the stars are falling from the sky, like the Milky Way. Fall into the Nine Heavens Palace.
In this splendid firelight, Zong Huan said slowly: "Fengyi Building, there is Fenglaiyi, just like you are to me."
There was another sentence he didn't say. I would like to imprison you, a phoenix, in a towering building. No matter who you are thinking about, you will never be able to escape in this life.
