The winter hunting period was approaching, so Zong Zhengqing and Zhang Yu invited him to play at the court this morning, and after some discussions, the date was finally set.

On the day of Lidong, the emperor would sacrifice to heaven according to the rule, so the winter hunting was scheduled to start on the second day after Lidong and last for four days.Because offering sacrifices to heaven and winter hunting are linked together, apart from Zongzheng Temple, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry are also coordinating the preparations for this winter hunting.

Calculated in this way, it is only seven or eight days away from Winter Hunting.

After Li Yue came down from the imperial court, it can be said that he was refreshed, not because of anything else, but because his birthday was seven days after Lidong, and Zhao Xun promised to give him a gift.

Li Yue had never been so full of anticipation for his birthday.

He went back to the bedroom happily all the way, seeing that Zhao Xun was not there, he took Fuxi to the side hall.Sure enough, the door of the side hall was half open, Zhao Xun was sitting in front of the desk looking at something, Li Yue looked at it from a distance, it seemed like a map.

"What good things do you want to see?" Li Yue walked over and asked.

Hearing Li Yue's voice, Zhao Xun got up unhurriedly, ignored the map, went up to him and dragged Li Yue far away from the desk.

He met Shen Xuan and Zhao Qingming again yesterday, and explained the route and precautions of the winter hunting.According to the map drawn by Zhao Xiaowu, he has studied the entire hunting ground thoroughly, and after repeated deliberations, he has made the most foolproof route.

The next step is to rely on Shen Xuan to get familiar with the route, and to perfect it in detail.It's just that he didn't intend to tell Li Yue about all this.

"Is there anything good in the court today? You seem to be in a good mood." Zhao Xun asked.

The young man smiled all over his face and said, "I'm in a good mood any day, as long as I can see you when I come back."

Zhao Xun has long been used to the boy's behavior, and the other party's ability to make people happy by saying good things at every turn is simply superb, but even if he is used to it, he is still happy when he hears it.

"I heard that Prince An will also participate in the winter hunting?" Zhao Xun asked with a serious face.

"Well, I haven't had time to tell you, how did you know?" Li Yue squeezed a snack and said.

Zhao Xun was startled when he heard the words, he forgot that Zhao Qingming told him about it yesterday, and Li Yue didn't know about it at all, so if he said that, wouldn't he be revealing?

If Li Yue noticed something unusual, he asked where he heard it from, would he lie to him or tell the truth?Zhao Xun's face remained unchanged, but his thoughts changed sharply.And Li Yue was still eating snacks, although he just asked casually, he seemed to be still waiting for Zhao Xun's answer.

Fuxi who was on the side observed his words, and hurriedly said, "It's all because of my talkativeness. The third prince mentioned it casually yesterday, and the slave immediately told him all about it."

Li Yue hurriedly said: "Haha, it's okay, I don't need to wait for the third prince to ask about my affairs in the future."

"Yes, I have remembered." Fuxi hurriedly replied, then retreated, and closed the door for the two of them.

Fuxi also broke his heart because of Li Yue. Although he knew that Zhao Xun's words probably came from Zhao Qingming again, he knew that Li Yue would not pursue Zhao Xun's going to see Zhao Qingming privately. Li Yue was unhappy, so he simply helped the other party to hide it.

These two people are really the same thing, Fu Xi secretly thought.

But he has no other skills, he just hopes to make Li Yue less troubled, even if he is deceiving himself and others.

"You haven't finished talking just now, is it wrong for Uncle Wang to participate?" After Fuxi left, Li Yue asked.

"There's nothing wrong with it. If I remember correctly, King An is currently working as an official in the Ministry of Industry, right?" Zhao Xun said.

The princes and nobles of the Dayu Dynasty can serve in the court except for the prince of the vassal, as long as they do not hold important positions.King An Jun was not a idler, so he took a job in the Ministry of Industry.

"Well, the old prince used to have some connections with the Ministry of Industry, so Uncle Wang still has some ties to the Ministry of Industry, so he went to pick up a job later." Li Yue asked, "What's the matter?"

"It's okay, just ask casually." Zhao Xun thought for a while and asked again: "How is the marriage of Prince An?"

That day, in order to perfunctory Zhang Yu, Li Yue rejected the marriage, and then, as an adult, married Feng Shao, the niece of Feng Jinglun, the Minister of the Household Department, to King An. When Zhao Xun asked about this, Li Yue remembered this.

"If you don't tell me, I'll forget about it. I haven't made a formal decree yet." Li Yue said.

Zhao Xun laughed and said, "It's your birthday after the beginning of winter, why not make a couple?"

For some reason, when Li Yue heard the word "good thing", he immediately thought of Zhao Xun's promise that day, so his face turned red.It seems that no matter what happened in the past few days, he could think of it in a twist and turn, and Li Yue felt a little embarrassed when he thought about it.

"Okay, then wait for my birthday and give them a marriage." Li Yue said.

"It seems that before the New Year, we should be able to drink wedding wine." Zhao Xun said.

However, a thought flashed in Zhao Xun's mind at this time, but he suddenly thought of what he said by the Anjun Dynasty when he was in the Liu family's Zhuangzi.King Anjun said that Li Yue is a deeply affectionate person, so let him not let him down.

Zhao Xun sighed lightly, a wry smile flashed in his eyes.No matter what he thinks about Li Yue, he never thought that he would betray Li Yue from the beginning to the end, but his "living up" does not seem to be the same thing as the "living up" that King An thought.

It's so hard to do,

However, he suddenly wanted to give it a try.

Time flies, and the winter solstice is coming in a blink of an eye.

When Li Yue's guard of honor arrived at the outskirts of Beijing, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry had already set up the platform for offering sacrifices to heaven, and all the ministers and the young nobles in the capital were waiting by the side early, waiting to watch the ceremony.

Li Yue was wearing a fine attire today, his aura couldn't be concealed even more, and the young man's sharp-edged face also showed a bit of majesty.

The officiant of the ceremony was Wang Jihai, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites. He sang the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven loudly, and Li Yue stepped onto the altar gracefully.

However, according to the past practice, after Li Yue, the ceremonial officer will invite the two auxiliary ministers to come to the stage to worship the heaven together, but this time Wang Jihai skipped the ceremony.This change not only surprised Li Yue, but also many people present, especially the two auxiliary ministers and their supporters.

When Li Yue was stunned, the people watching the ceremony had already started whispering, and Honglu Qing Yan Mingren, who had always been flattering, finally couldn't hold back.

Yan Mingren took a step forward and said, "This ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is always carried out by Your Majesty together with His Majesty the Taibao and Taifu. Why is it only Your Majesty this year?"

"In the past, His Majesty was young, so it should be so. Now His Majesty is nearly eighteen. According to the regulations of the Ministry of Rites, he should bear the heavy responsibility of offering sacrifices to the heavens and praying for blessings alone." Wang Jihai, Minister of the Household Department, said unhurriedly.

Yan Zhengming has disrespected Li Yue more than once, but since he intends to gain favor with the two auxiliary ministers, he doesn't care about offending Li Yue. He has already offended Li Yue so much about Zhao Xun that he has no way out, now It can only be smashed.

"Your Majesty is nearly eighteen, that is to say, he has not yet turned eighteen. According to the regulations of the Ministry of Rites, he should be accompanied by two adults." Yan Mingren said again.

Li Yue couldn't help but frowned when he heard the words, but he didn't make a sound. In this situation, it's best for him not to speak, so as not to arouse more criticism.

Zhao Xunli looked at the lonely young man on the altar from a distance, and couldn't help feeling a little pity in his heart.He suddenly wanted to go up and hug her in his arms desperately, but he couldn't do anything, he could only watch from a distance.

Wang Jihai's face remained calm, and he turned to look at the two auxiliary ministers in the audience, and asked, "I wonder what the two adults think?"

Zheng Yunkun's face was not very good-looking at the moment, and he didn't make a sound when he heard the words, but Pan Xingzhi said lukewarmly: "Although your majesty is young, this sacrifice to heaven will not cause any trouble."

Now that the matter has come to this point, it is not good for Pan Xingzhi to try his best to go up in front of the courtiers, not to mention losing face, but also to be talked about.But as soon as he said this, he was very disrespectful to Li Yue. At first glance, he felt that Li Yue could do nothing but this kind of thing.

Li Yue's expression didn't change when he heard the words, but Zhao Xun couldn't help clenching his fists, and there was a rare bit of anger on his face that was always calm.Fuxi looked at it subconsciously, and couldn't help being startled, thinking that the third prince is feeling sorry for our little ancestor?

Fu Xi secretly rejoiced, and became a little more respectful when looking at Zhao Xun.I just hope that this ancestor is not a whim, Fuxi secretly said.

"Since Taibao Pan said so, does Taifu Zheng have any objections?" Wang Jihai asked.Zheng Yunkun was pissed off by him, but he didn't really have any objections, so he could only reluctantly say no.

Seeing this, Wang Jihai calmly began to officiate and sacrifice to heaven, as if nothing had happened just now.He looked only in his 40s, and he looked calm and calm, a bit displeased with things.

To be able to sacrifice to the sky alone is, in a sense, announcing Li Yue's status in public.Although it was not smooth, for those who watched the ceremony, they would subconsciously form a sense of respect for the throne of the emperor.

However, Li Yue couldn't be happy, this matter broke his original plan.

Afterwards, he summoned Shen Xuan, trying to figure out what was wrong.

"Who arranged today's sacrifice to heaven?" Li Yue asked.

Shen Xuan said, "It's the ceremony plan personally drawn up by Wang Jihai."

It stands to reason that Yicheng should have been reported, just because the process has been the same every time for many years, and there has never been a mistake, so Li Yue didn't look carefully this time, presumably the two of them didn't do it because of this reason. look.

Unexpectedly, Wang Jihai made such a move, but no one could pick the wrong one.

"It's done, don't think about it." Zhao Xun comforted him with a face that couldn't tell the difference between joy and sorrow.

"I'm afraid of scaring the snake." Li Yue said a little irritably.

Shen Xuan hurriedly said: "I'm also to blame for this matter. I didn't even look at the ceremonial process that passed through my hands several times. Otherwise, we would have taken precautions, and such a mistake would never happen."

Zhao Xundao: "This is the end of the matter, let's think about the future first. Today, Wang Jihai's clever play has pushed His Majesty to the forefront. Even if this matter has nothing to do with His Majesty, Pan Xingzhi and Zheng Yukun will believe that this matter is His Majesty's." Instigated."

After this incident, Li Yue's pro-government will become the focus of people's attention in advance.

In the past, the two people's plan to plan slowly, I am afraid it has failed.
