Qingchuan History

Chapter 648
The night is like splashed ink, and it contrasts with Shangguanyan's landscape painting that Wen Fei determined to be time itself.

The tall, wide and dignified Mingluan Palace is like a heavenly palace, and it also looks like a solitary beast, with its mouth slightly open in the dark lights, waiting for the stars and demons to descend at the same time.

Gu Xinglang sat idly in front of the ebony and gold-plated dragon table.

Kneeling nearby was the timid Su Wanwan.

The right side was empty, and Ji Wanling stood side by side with all the respondents at the bottom of the steps.

On the left is Ruan Xueyin, still like a deep pool, with a huge lake-colored palace skirt spread out on the ground, half-covering the moonlight.

The palace people are still holding calligraphy and paintings, just between the jade steps.

Shangguanyan has finished his request and retreats to the side of the crowd.

Wen Shu, Ji Wanling, Ning Wang, and Xiao Shizi, from right to left, were silent.

Ji Huan, Chai Zhan, Wen Fei, Xue Chang, Tan You, etc. are all behind them, also in a row, neatly, with heads bowed and eyes downcast.

"Such a great reward, I can name ten of them in one breath." Chunfeng looked down quietly, unbelievable, "No wish?" Turning back to Gu Xinglang,

"Mingjiu Mingjian, Mrs. Yu has already said it just now." It means asking if you want to say it again.

"Look at her." Gu Xinglang looked at Ji Wanling with a smile, "The one just now doesn't count."

Ji Wanling no longer knew whether to say it or not, and if he should say it, what exactly did he want her to say.

Nor did she get a single word or even a hint of expression from her father.Ji Huan was as ordinary as any performance at a palace banquet, the only unusual thing was that joke.

Jokingly said that the big reward was given to her for selfishness.

So what to say?And just tell the truth?

"Miss Wen was supposed to make a wish earlier, but was interrupted by the Shangguan Banquet." Gu Xinglang leaned back halfway, with his left elbow resting on the soft cushion made of inkstone and bent on it, so idle that he was so lazy that he seemed drunk, " Then, let Miss Wen take the lead."

If Jing Tingge has finished instigating things, and the situation in Luzhou has been spread out among the parties involved, then at this time, everyone except Xiaoshizi and King Ning should know that——

Ruan Xueyin didn't know that Ji Wanling had written to King Ning, so her judgment was not accurate enough; but judging from the current situation, it was obvious that it was a critical moment of life and death.

Confessing the crime, Gu Xinglang is likely to be pardoned.

If you hide your ears and steal your bell, you can only wait to be convicted and punished on the spot.

Of course they all understood, so they all put in all their talents and thoughts for the big reward.Then why hesitate?
"Qi Zou Your Majesty."

After a long period of silence, Wen Shu finally saw Wen Shu kneeling suddenly, his light figure made the ground hum, obviously exerting a lot of effort.

Its voice was also loud and clear, breaking through the dense atmosphere in front of the jade steps, and echoing inside the Zheng'an Gate.

The silence deepened. Everyone was watching a wishing scene, but everyone started to wake up, fearing that it might not be a scene, chopsticks were placed on the edge of the plate, and the case was closed with an empty cup.

"What a big wish." Gu Xinglang smiled again, because the surroundings were extremely quiet, and his voice was like moonlight.

Wen Shu is already in a deep position, with a slender back flattened, and his forehead touching the ground, "Wen's felony, he has joined hands with King Xin to cover Luzhou for many years, and he is acting on his behalf. It violates the court's discipline, but the king punishes the crime!"

Her voice is very pleasant, and she also has poetry and books in her stomach, and her speeches are earnest and sincere.

Gu Xinglang raised his eyebrows.

After a while, he passed Wen Shu and turned to Wen Fei, "What is Mr. Wen doing?"

He just looked at Wen Fei and didn't pay any attention to King Xin.

King Xin's seat was also silent, and the couple sat upright without a sound.

"What the little girl said,"

During the banquet, Jing Tingge felt that these four words were extremely slow.

Denying and scolding or kneeling and confessing the crime.

Wen Fei's crow-green robe is a collection of century-old scholarly wisdom and etiquette.

The robe was folded in the night lights, and when it fell to the ground, the knees sank and brought the same ground humming as Wen Shu, "It's true."

He confessed, but pleaded not guilty.

The banquet was shaken, but no one dared to make the slightest sound.

Everyone held their breath, watching clearly and felt that the guillotine was on their necks.

Wen's Qingliu Ming Yao Qi State for nearly a hundred years, it is still such an ambiguous statement that it can be big or small at the night banquet of the Tianchang Festival and the preface to the upcoming holy gift.

The meaning of changing family banquets to palace banquets is here.

So what is the function of the noble families who are called to attend, whether they are officials in the court or not?
The root of the illusion of the guillotine holding the neck is this.

"Together cover Luzhou." Gu Xinglang repeated these words with his voice still like Yuehua, "I didn't understand. Fourth brother,"

The sudden change of the situation makes it hard to believe the theory of family banquets, and it seems that this title is harsh.

"Your brother is here." King Xin stood up and bowed.

"Do you understand?"

King Xin maintained his obeisance posture and strode to attend, bowed his head all the way to the jade steps, stopped at a position closer to Gu Xinglang two steps ahead of Wen Shu, and knelt down:
"If what Ms. Wen said is that the Wangfu and Wanqing Academy are working together to protect the peace of Luzhou, then my younger brother will understand, and my younger brother will confess."

Such an answer is not so much an admission of guilt as an invitation for credit.

Gu Xinglang laughed again, "Luzhou is the largest city in Qinan, and the chiefs I dispatched are the pillars that I like very much. At the same time, there are princes and centuries-old families sitting in the town. This arrangement is supposed to bring peace to one side. Miss Wen said it was a crime," His words are relaxed,

"Where does the crime come from?"

"One city and one side are peaceful," Wen Shu breathed out clearly, and the echo echoed into the night wind, making the listeners nervous. "There is an imperial court, and officials lead a team to protect it. Mr. Yin'an, Luzhou Prefecture, is an official appointed by the emperor, with both ability and political integrity. , Wen's intervention in many affairs that should have been decided by the government is to do it for Yuezu."

Gu Xinglang was a little stunned, "Is it because of the past two months? I heard that the Shangguan family has been attacked repeatedly when they moved to Luzhou. Not only are people often burning paper in front of the house, but the Shangguan banquet was assassinated shortly after reporting to the official." He suffered a lot of injuries. And his wife Ru beat the drums in front of the mansion loudly, claiming that everything was due to the Shangguan Banquet and Wen Ju's festival a few years ago."

As he said this, he patted his forehead lightly, as if he was remembering, or trying to sober up,

"An Duan specifically reported it, saying it was a business holiday. Later, he said it was a misunderstanding. I thought it had been resolved." He raised his eyes to the official banquet,

"No?"

Shangguan Yan walked from the edge to the center, leveled with Wen Shu, and also knelt down, "Back to your lord, it is indeed a misunderstanding, and it has been resolved. The eldest son Wen Ju also contacted friends who actually run the rice and grain business in the city, and recommended it for the grass people. , to help the grassroots settle down."

Gu Xinglang nodded, "When you first entered Luzhou, you should have been cautious in your words and deeds. If you let the female family members slander Zhongliang, it is really your fault. Your wife should also be held accountable."

During the banquet, everyone cast their eyes on Jing Tingge.

Since he was noticed by Gu Xinglang, who was at the top, "Here at this moment?"

Shangguan Yan didn't answer for two moments, and it was the third moment. "Back to Your Majesty, here we are."

"pass."

Di Yan summoned loudly, Mrs. Ru of Shangguan's family started from the banquet, and with the help of the maidservant, she took a step and three shakes, and finally reached the front of the jade steps.

She grabbed the hem of her skirt to kneel.

The center of gravity is unstable and trembling.

Ji Wanling and Ruan Xueyin raised their hearts at the same time.

The Shangguan banquet has to reach out to help.

"No." Gu Xinglang said, "Give me a seat."
