Famous all over the world

Today, Empress Dowager Du is dressed up, combing her temples, wearing a golden phoenix crown, embellished with pearls, emeralds and flowers, and she walks gracefully and gracefully.Emperor Zhaoning was dressed in a crown, and his expression was unclear from under the bead, but he carefully and carefully supported Queen Mother Du, and walked slowly; although the young prince was young, his posture was strict, and he walked steadily step by step; The queen was even more calm, not in a hurry, and moved lightly with lotus steps.

Deng Gun's Taoist robe was like a stick, with a persistent whisk at the end. The empress Hou and his party sat down and stood aside, separated from Zheng Wen. After a while, the eunuch sang loudly: "The sun rises and the moon lasts, the sky moves Endless; but the life of the Virgin is boundless with the heavens. Yuan Tingyue stands on the mountain, and the tunnel has permanence; but the life of the Virgin is boundless in the land. Chen Weiliang, Yue Weiji; , Long Gun to Yu. Fu Shun Qin on the left, drink Yao wine on the right. Together with Bo Haichen and the concubine, it is the birthday of the Virgin. The people in the prosperous age are happy, and the scenery in the Qing Dynasty is in harmony. Looking forward to the prosperity of Qi, salty and virtuous and chanting benevolence. The source of blessings is only the blessing of the Holy Mother; the emperor's holiness is only inherited by the Holy Mother. The dragon pool is beautiful, the phoenix liquid is auspicious. The eternal blessing will prolong the age of hundreds of millions."

Jiang She and other ministers had already knelt down on the ground, waiting for him to pause for a while, then wished the Empress Dowager a thousand years, and after he had finished reading, they all wished the Empress Dowager a thousand years and a long life in unison.Then the queen took the lead and took the concubines and wives to congratulate again. After several times, after the prayer was over, Emperor Zhaoning laughed and said: "Today is the queen mother's birthday, and I am also a junior of my sons and officials. I should put peace and happiness first. Ai Qing must not be restrained, let's all be at peace."

The officials did not dare to disobey, said long live, thanked for the grace, got up and sat down.Not long after, another group of neatly decorated little eunuchs laid out the dishes step by step.

The music will be played for a long time when it is suitable, and the lingering sound is full of joyful voices. At this time, there are actors and actresses in the palace dancing. However, it turns out that the monarch and his ministers are in harmony, a scene of peace.

After the dance, all the fruit plates on the table have been replaced with delicacies.So the grace order was issued again, allowing the ministers to carry chopsticks.Looking at the delicate dishes, Jiang She sighed slightly, but he also picked up the chopsticks, put a piece of venison into his mouth, and chewed slowly.

Li Zhi whispered with the music, "I haven't had a banquet for a long time, but I really don't feel used to it."

There was a bit of complaint in his tone, Jiang She couldn't help but laugh, looked up at him, smiled without saying a word, and shook his head slightly.

Li Zhi spread his hands, only wrinkled his brows strangely, and said nothing.

Jiang She put down his chopsticks with a three-pointed smile, but seeing that Empress Dowager Du said something to Emperor Zhaoning, and Emperor Zhaoning called Zheng Wen to speak a few more words, the music dropped, and all the officials They all stopped eating, looked at Emperor Zhaoning, and heard him say: "The queen mother said that she likes the Buddhist scriptures that Uncle Wang asked for very much."

King Jing hurriedly stood up and thanked the Buddha, "It is the mother's kindness and sincerity, benevolence and respect to the Buddha, so the master is willing to give the pen to the Buddha. The humble minister dare not take credit, but it is just borrowing flowers to present to the Buddha."

Emperor Zhaoning and Empress Dowager Du looked at each other, shook their heads slightly and said with a smile: "Uncle Huang is too modest."

King Jing kept saying that he didn't dare, but he said it was his duty as a minister.

Emperor Zhaoning asked Zheng Wen to help him up, and also gave him a cup of fine wine and two plates of precious fruits.

The King Jing had no choice but to thank the Holy Grace again, and only after paying respects did he sit down again.

Deng Gun filled the glass of wine for Emperor Zhaoning, the young man glanced at the lords, and then gave Jiang She a little affirmation, and suddenly smiled: "This time, King Lao Yong and the cousin of the Jiang family will enter the emblem on my behalf. Going back to the proverb of an expert, I have wine, and if I want to respect the two of you to drink together, I wonder if I can reward you with face?"

King Yong knelt down in the morning and said, "It's all because of His Majesty's filial protection that I was lucky enough to not disgrace my mission. This glass of wine should be served by the two of you to respect Your Majesty. I hope that Your Majesty will not say goodbye."

Jiang She also got up quickly, and when King Yong finished speaking, he immediately said in a respectful voice: "Your Majesty's words are depressing to my humble minister. Your Majesty's gift of drink is the blessing of my minister. However, I dare not take the credit of my minister. I am like His Royal Highness Yongwang." As I just said, I wish to respect Your Majesty."

Emperor Zhaoning laughed twice, looked back at Empress Dowager Du and said: "Look, Empress Dowager, I was asking for credit for them, but asking them to say this seems like I want to steal their credit. You can always learn from this. It was not my son's intention."

Empress Dowager Du narrowed her eyes with a smile, "All credits, no credits, and hard work, all deserve rewards, let's drink this glass of wine together."

Emperor Zhaoning smiled lightly: "Since the mother said so, the son dare not stop drinking." After finishing speaking, he drank the wine in the glass and looked at Yongwang and Jiang She with a smile.

King Yong and Jiang She said in unison: "The Empress Dowager is wise." One of them took a glass of wine from Zheng Wen, and both raised their heads slightly to drink it all down. Only then did Emperor Zhaoning let the two of them go back to their seats, and then called someone else Give fresh fruit and wine.

In fact, Jiang She seldom drank alcohol, but he felt that his alcohol capacity was acceptable, but although this cup tasted fragrant and soft, he might have drunk it too quickly, and felt a little dizzy after getting up.She twirled a green fruit in her mouth, calmed down slightly, and saw Emperor Zhaoning ordering Deng Gun to hold the brocade bag, looked around at the ministers, and said again: "This brocade bag contains, The birthday gift that the two of them asked for on my behalf was obtained from Qu Qianqiu, Daoist Qu Qianqiu of the Tianji Gate. Qu Daochang is an expert in the world, and many people are known as "living gods". Hear? Mrs. Zhuang must have heard of him."

The officials were silent for a while, and then all focused their gazes on Mrs. Zhuang.Jiang She also cast his eyes on the past, but he felt a little worried in his heart, not knowing that the old man's body is in good health.

But seeing Old Madam Zhuang standing up tremblingly, "The old minister has heard from Quanzi that Qu Daochang is indeed a noble man, but the old minister has not seen the divination and calculation, so he dare not speak nonsense."

"Old Madam Fu is pragmatic and seeks the truth. It is good to rely on something to rely on in everything, but the rumors are so rampant among the people, it should not be groundless." Emperor Zhaoning smiled and said, "Qu Daochang has always been wandering around without a trace. This time it is rare to leave a few words, Deng Gun, please read to the old master and everyone here, what is written in this."

Deng Gun responded respectfully, unfolded the kit, took out the writing paper in it, and read aloud: "The Holy Empress Dowager is a person who is beyond the fate of heaven. The poor can't be counted, and I can't count, and I dare not count." Put the article back into the bag, took a step back, and stood aside as usual with great humility.

When the officials and officials saw this, they couldn't help but looked at each other, as if they couldn't believe it was over, they all showed surprise.Emperor Zhaoning smiled indistinctly, looked back at Empress Dowager Du and said, "What does the Empress Dowager think of this proverb?"

At that time, Empress Dowager Du was looking down at the kit carefully, when she heard the words, she said calmly: "This Taoist priest is really sincere."

Jiang She didn't expect Qu Qianqiu to say such a thing, but thinking about it again, it makes sense, the Empress Dowager's birthday, how could she dare to say a sad word, but she didn't say auspicious words, it's unpredictable, her heart turned cold, and she turned around immediately He went out and knelt down on the ground: "My minister is terrified and has not tried his best."

King Yong also came out again, pleading guilty in his mouth, "My brother is ineffective, please forgive me."

"What are you doing again? Where did the crime come from?" Emperor Zhaoning asked Zheng Yan to help her to get up, and said in a calm and authentic tone, "The queen mother is the chosen one, and this theory of fate is bound to bind ordinary people, twisting the way I admit that I can't, but I am an open-minded person. Go back and sit down." Seeing that the two of them didn't move, he urged, "Sit down, sit down."

The two were urged over and over again, and finally went back to sit.Jiang She didn't know what was going on in Prince Yong's mind, she was really flustered and anxious, she couldn't help picking up the cup, and took a sip to regain her composure, but her head fainted faintly.

Emperor Zhaoning saw that Mrs. Zhuang was still kneeling at the same place, and said: "Old Mrs. Fu is also going back to sit. Today's family banquet, don't be too formal."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." Zhuang Taifu stood up tremblingly, coughing in his voice, and slowly moved back to sit.Then there were congratulatory gifts from several princes and relatives, all of whom were praised by the emperor and the empress. The ministers also read a few outstanding congratulatory texts, which made the empress dowager smile brightly.

After Jiang She ate some fruits, he just watched and listened calmly, his eyes occasionally glanced at the gently fluttering green veil, waiting for the time for the announcement to come.

Deng Gun suddenly whispered something to Emperor Zhaoning, Emperor Zhaoning nodded with a smile, then turned his head and said to the Empress Dowager: "Today there are foreign envoys coming to court, and they want to offer congratulatory gifts in person, I wonder what the Empress Dowager thinks? "

Empress Dowager Du nodded lightly and said: "The Ai family thinks it's very good."

But Jiang She couldn't help feeling tense in his heart, since it was an envoy from a foreign country, then Mobei must also be on the list, just don't make any trouble.

But since Emperor Zhaoning made the will, no one would dare to disobey it.Then the nations took advantage of it one by one, each with its own tricks.Song Zizhen was among the envoys. One piece of Ruyi Brocade was embroidered with flying handwriting, making a beautiful article, while the other was decorated with patterns of flowers, birds, insects and fish. It was rare that everything was lifelike, which won the praise of the empress.When he followed the envoy back, he seemed to glance at her.

Jiang She didn't change his expression, but privately he couldn't help but think of the girl in red, and he didn't know how she was doing today.Xu Su said that the master of the Xiaodao who died seemed reluctant to let him go. He wanted the Jingzhao Mansion to investigate thoroughly. He didn't know if there was any result recently, and whether it was really related to Qin Caisang.

While she was thinking this way, Dai, Zhu, and Yue kingdoms had also entered their birthday ceremonies, and an envoy from Xiqiang came out, and after the congratulatory speeches, they clapped their hands three times, and a masked dancer walked around. He came out, whirled under his feet, and sang in his mouth, but the words and sentences were in the voice of a foreign country, and he couldn't understand the meaning, so the envoy explained that it was a song for the old people in Xiqiang to celebrate their birthday.But seeing the dancer girl's body is agile, three to five lines, time to time, spelling out a picture of auspicious clouds, and then turning into a birthday peach, and finally turned into four large characters of "Longevity without bounds", the Queen Mother was delighted to see No end, cheers again and again.And silk and bamboo orchestral music is prevalent, and the sound of the flute is harmonious, ethereal, singing and dancing are excellent, and the sound is still mellow.

The Empress Dowager closed her eyes and listened carefully, the smile on her lips was still there, Emperor Zhaoning hurriedly called for the reward, the Xiqiang envoys were all smiles, and thanked them for their kindness, before they could sit down, another person stood up during the banquet.

Look at him dressed in short brown and light clothes, but it is the envoy from Mobei, who stepped forward a few steps, knelt in the hall, kowtowed heavily and said: "My humble envoy has something to play, and your majesty will listen to it."

Emperor Zhaoning gasped in surprise, "Aren't you the first emissary of Mobei? I don't know what you want to say? But today is a family banquet, and we don't talk about state affairs at all."

The envoy held a roll of sheepskin in both hands, "If this is the case, the humble envoy will not dare to obey the order. Your Majesty, how can Aruna, the thief who steals the country, be able to sit with my Khan and the humble envoy? Your Majesty, please uphold justice."

Emperor Zhaoning just shook his head, "This is a matter of Qing's family..."

The emissary suddenly raised his head and looked straight ahead. There was a man in brocade clothes sitting there. He looked like a man from Mobei, but he was trembling. He didn't dare to look at him. He was stared at by people around him. Then, shrink back and shrink again.Although Jiang She didn't recognize the man in brocade clothes, he recognized the sneering big man beside him, he couldn't help but clenched his hands, trying his best to suppress the anger.The emissary sighed, "Khan, the humble envoy is incompetent, he can't save me from the water and fire, but die, thank God!"

After speaking, he paused again, stood up, and threw himself on the pillar with his body.All of a sudden there were shouts, but the messenger had already been stopped by the guards, he didn't struggle, he just stared at Aruna, yelling incessantly, his tongue was covered soon, the scroll in his hand fell early, and someone picked it up From now on, present to Zheng Wen.

Emperor Zhaoning signaled Zheng Yan to present the scroll, and when he unfolded it, it turned out to be densely packed blood books.

Emperor Zhaoning sighed unknowingly, looked at the emissary leisurely, then at Aruna and the trembling Hu Huer Khan, motioned to the guards not to drag the emissary out, and said slowly: "Today is Empress Dowager's birthday, I didn't want to talk about state affairs, but since the envoy from Mobei mentioned it, I will talk about it by the way, and please don't blame the Empress Dowager."

Empress Dowager Du shook her head slightly, "In all affairs in the world, the public is more important than the private. The emperor's move made the Ai family happy and it was too late. How could he blame him?"

"The queen mother said well that in all affairs in the world, the public is more important than the private." Emperor Zhaoning looked at Hu Huerhan, and suddenly there was sadness in his tone, "The hatred of the former emperor is a private enmity. The stability of the world is a public matter. Although I I am heartbroken, but I dare not abolish the public for personal reasons. The heroic spirit of the former emperor is not far away, and I will not bear to see the border cross again. And I Daxing and Mobei made an alliance early. To show my sincerity, I would like to marry my younger sister Jinyang to Dahan. Forging the friendship between Qin and Jin, forging the kindness of all ages, but the rest is a matter of Qing's family, and I don't care about it, what does the Great Khan think?"

As soon as the words fell, all the laughter in the room was silent in an instant, except for the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras, which continued to linger around the beam.
