I can't die!I haven't ruled the world yet!

Chapter 111

Meng Yang is disabled, it is inconvenient to travel, and he has never even received a casual job. After returning to Beijing for several years, he has never held an official position.Even though it was decided that he would be the nobility, it was only Chang Yihou's word of mouth, and the imperial decree had not yet been issued to finalize his identity.

In addition, when Marquis Chang Yi learned that Meng Yang was in poor health and had a short life, the ministers saw that Meng Qian was full of regret, so they pleaded for Meng Yang's life.

Since the day when the news of Liangzhou's success came to the capital, Rong Cen had been considering for a long time what kind of favor he should give to Meng Yang.

Wan Li accompanied him around to pour wine and serve, Rong Cen picked up his cup and glanced at the banquet below, respecting the people in the banquet.

"Meng Zongzi, for your hard work, I respect you three cups. First, thank you Zongzi for his bravery and fearlessness in going to the peace talks; second, congratulate Zongzi on his triumphant return and promotion to Marquis; third, wish Zongzi heal his old illness and live a long life."

Rong Cen finished it in one gulp, turned the glass cup upside down, not a single drop remained.The aged wine enters the throat, cools to the bone, moistens the throat and refreshes the heart.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Meng Yang did as he did, his lips full of wine, rosy and plump, and his complexion was quite good. It was not much better than Rong Cen who stayed up all night to criticize state affairs.

In the end, he said: "Your Majesty cares about the world, and cares about the country and the people. That's the real hard work."

When he said this, there was a smile on the corner of the man's mouth, with a hint of unknown meaning.

Rong Cen's temples twitched, and the bad premonition in her heart at the gate of the city grew stronger, but she raised her eyebrows as if nothing had happened, "It's all what I should do."

Only then did the officials hear the voice of the man sitting on the dragon chair at the top——Meng Yang has been made a Marquis.

It's just that I don't know whether Meng Yang's Marquis position is inherited from Marquis Chang Yi, or a new one.If it is the former, he should be called the son of Changyihoufu.So... it must be the latter?

However, I have never heard that the emperor proposed a title for Meng Zongzi. The young emperor's mind is becoming more and more difficult to guess, and no one can fathom it now.

"Your Majesty!" Prime Minister Wen Renmo came out, "May I ask what Your Majesty means by 'promoted to Marquis'?"

Rong Cen explained patiently: "Xi Lin is fierce and fierce, which is a big worry in Dayin's heart. Now that the powerful enemy has been eliminated for the time being, the two countries of Yin and Lin have turned their hostility into friendship, and they are friendly neighbors. I feel that only the Marquis can be worthy of Meng Zongzi's great contribution. match."

Can be worthy of match.

It's a wonderful word.

Rong Cen gently picked up Meng Yang and placed him on a high ground.

The prime minister praised: "Your Majesty is wise!"

All the ministers immediately put down the cups and silver chopsticks in their hands, swallowed the food in their mouths, and echoed: "Your Majesty is wise."

The shouts from Linqing Palace were a bit noisy but uniform.

The Prime Minister asked again: "Your Majesty, Meng Zongzi... No, it should be called Meng Xiaohou Ye now. I wonder what his title is?"

"Stay here now." Rong Cen said.

When Chang Yihou heard the news, he was happier than Meng Yang himself, and he was extremely excited.

It's just that this title...

Meng Qian asked suspiciously with question marks all over his head, "Golden Willow?"

"..." Rong Cen was silent.

"Stay here today, judge the past according to the present, leave a name in the history. Such a prestigious name, Yang is ashamed of receiving it, but he is disrespectful." Meng Yang smiled and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Yang is very happy."

"What is there to be ashamed of? You can bear it if you stay here today."

The emperor gave a loud and loud answer, and the royalist party headed by the prime minister supported all the decisions of His Majesty, who had awakened from drunkenness, dream and death, and congratulations began to echo from Linqing Hall.

"Your Majesty is wise! Congratulations to Marquis Jinliu!"

"Mr. Meng Xiaohou is the first person in Dayin to be honored as a Marquis under the age of 25. He is a formidable future generation!"

"Congratulations, Marquis Chang Yi, your Meng family suddenly gained the title of marquis, so it's time to find someone to inherit your title again!"

All the ministers looked happier than the other on their faces, but in fact they were both happy and worried in their hearts.

The prime minister's faction supported Rong Cen unconditionally, so he was delighted.The Taifu sent Zhanxi Wang Rongzhu, so it may not be in a good mood.The regent's party was as calm as water, and they followed Rong Cen along with their leader.

As for the former queen mother's party, it was scattered and scattered. Since the palace change, it has been timid and mixed between the two distinct parties, like grass swaying in the wind, "really switching to the new master" and "pretending to switch" every day. "New master" is vacillating, and the mood is really not necessarily good at the moment.

No matter how complicated the mood of the ministers was, Rong Cen let them go and did not talk to Meng Yang any more, he praised and rewarded the heroes and generals.

In the end, Wen Renxu also won the title of Little General, and he was so excited that he couldn't speak.

There are also punishments for meritorious deeds.

For example, Shao En and others, disregarding Yizhou's order, went west without authorization to transport grain and grass.

After finishing the business, Rong Cen waved his hand to signal that everyone can feast freely without restraint.

After a few hours, the night was as thick as ink, the guests and hosts had a good time, and the cups and plates were messed up.

And compared to the turbulent dark waves brought about by everyone in the front hall trying their best to conceal their thoughts, the back hall is even more subtle and clever.

The empress dowager was originally sitting in the honorable position, but she had a broken head last time, and she went back to the palace to rest halfway before her body recovered.

The imperial concubine Lu, still does not attend the banquet.As for Concubine Gu, since the Empress Dowager left, she has rarely shown herself.

Therefore, the highest status in the banquet was the Empress Wen Renshu. She was dignified and elegant, and as a middle palace, she was tolerant and magnanimous.

Then there are concubines who are jealous and dishonest. At first, they encourage others to do things and prepare to watch a good show. Who knows that the other party is not only not easy to cheat, but also the master who is easy to provoke, so they start to pinch each other and hurt each other.

Concubine Gu was the one who was bitter and jealous, but she couldn't persuade her, but was beaten severely instead.

"Empress, that is Concubine Lu, she scratched the concubine's face! Your Majesty likes the concubine's face the most. What will happen if the concubine has scars in the future? Your concubine, you have to make the decision for the concubine!"

"Bah, Gu Concubine, you are really shameless. You think you are Ye Concubine's charming son, I feel sorry for you? It's no wonder that His Majesty likes you if you look like this. There is a mole on your mouth, stand with His Majesty Together, Your Majesty is like a noble young man who was stepped on by a matchmaker in Shengzhou and begged to marry him, and you are the ugly matchmaker with a fat head, round face and flesh all over the body that can crush the threshold!"

Concubine Lu is the one who is not to be trifled with. Compared to Concubine Gu, who is holding her throat and pretending to be pitiful, she is very leisurely. The two mouths open and close, and they just slammed out, "This is the first time I see Dong Shi imitating me and making a fool of myself." As a Xizi herself, didn't Ye Bin want to set up a stage in her Jingcui Palace to listen to the little songs? There is a lack of actors in the palace, so you can just become an actor. Oh, no, you will be embarrassed by the whole palace. I'm afraid that people will starve to death if they don't eat well!"

"You you you...!" Gu Bin was speechless.

Ye Bin, who was implicated innocently, was furious: "Lu Bin, I have never had a quarrel with you recently, this time you and Gu Concubine are biting each other, and it's okay to get involved with Ben Gong for nothing, but you turned a corner and scolded Ben Gong." , Is it too much to deceive people?!"

Hearing this, Concubine Gu also looked at Wen Renshu angrily, she really cried this time, "Yes, Madam, look, Concubine Lu is really deceiving people!"

Wen Renshu put down the chopsticks without haste, and glanced around, but the table was heavy and spacious, and people were far away, so she couldn't see their faces clearly.

However, the grievances and disputes between Concubine Ye and Concubine Gu have planted a cause and effect since the three of them entered the palace. The three of them are really the kind who will never die. I have learned a lot about the scenes of gang fights. Wen Renshu will deal with them It is already handy.

"Concubine Gu, Concubine Lu, and Concubine Ye have misbehaved, thinking that today's palace banquet will disturb the elegance of the wives, so they will not be punished. Do you know what's wrong?" The Empress put pressure invisibly.

The implication is that if you have any personal grievances, you can resolve them in private, and don't let people outside the palace see it as a joke in public.

Even though it was Meng Yang and the generals' reception banquet tonight, Rong Cen ordered all the officials to be invited, so all the officials' relatives and children also came.Among them are the relatives of the empresses in the harem.

Concubine Gu, Concubine Ye, Concubine Lu are not people who don't care in this world. Who doesn't want their parents to know that they are doing well in the palace?That being the case, it is natural for people to see their glamorous side.

All three said in unison: "I know I was wrong."

The queen always lifts them up high and puts them down gently. She thought that those who know the current affairs are heroes, and the queen will let them go as usual, but she didn't expect Wen Renshu to say: "I still have to copy the scriptures when I go back. Each person has a hundred chapters. Fifteen days later, please hand it over to Fengzi Palace."

The courtiers of the former court wanted to go to the Jinluan Palace to pay their respects, while the concubines of the harem needed to go to the Fengzi Palace early to pay their respects, but Wen Renshu didn't want to be disturbed, so the daily greetings were waived, and changed to twice a month on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year.

Today is the first day of March. In the morning, Wen Renshu just told the sisters to get along with each other in harmony. Everyone promised well, but in less than a day, there was another incident of fingernails grabbing someone and hurting others. If she doesn't know, she doesn't care, but on a big occasion where there are many officials and wives, if she doesn't punish slightly, someone will report the chaos in the harem tomorrow morning.

The facial expressions of Concubine Gu, Concubine Ye and Concubine Lu cracked uncontrollably, they all gritted their silver teeth and swallowed: "...Yes, my concubine would like to obey your mother's order."

What about no punishment?What are scriptures?
Your Majesty, come quickly, the Empress is physically punishing her concubine!

It has to be said that copying scriptures is a nightmare for all concubines.There is no other reason, the main reason is that the Empress Dowager worshiped the Buddha and punished people to copy the scriptures if they disagreed, especially on the day when the emperor went south!Just because they cried a few words, they were confinement in the palace, copying the scriptures until their hands cramped!

At this moment, when the words "copied scriptures" were used, the concubines in the harem shivered instinctively.

It was also because of this that after that, during the entire banquet, all the concubines tacitly kept silent and nothing happened.

Wen Renshu was extremely satisfied, politely greeted the officials and wives to taste the food, and asked random people to ask a few questions as usual.

As a concubine, Wen Dai is the head of the four concubines, and her status is just below the empress and noble concubine.Concubine Yu was absent, so Wen Renshu was the only one left above Wen Dai, and Feng Yan was inconvenient to see directly, so she calmly looked down at the seat below, swept across the delicate faces, and fixed her eyes on a certain official lady for a while. slightly longer.
