Chapter 273: Wan concubine



  Chapter 273 Wan Concubine

At about three o'clock the next day, the Xie family got busy. First, Xie Yuanbai led a few soldiers out of the city on horseback. He was in charge of closing the defense. The three battalions were not only the elite of Dayong, but also the main force for attacking and defending the capital. .

At the time of the fourth watch, the old man also got up, and the emperor worshiped the heavens. Whether he was a scholar of the Jiying Hall who was holding a pen to write a congratulatory article, or as one of the nine ministers of the Dali Temple, Xie Tiao had to serve him. drive around.

The wish plates and jade silks have been sent to the Temple of Heaven by the Taichang Temple, and the Dharma Books must also be neatly arranged. Since he was appointed to assist the Ministry of Rites, he must check all the etiquette in person, so that he can rest assured, otherwise something will happen. Whatever happened, he would be implicated.

On the Circular Mound, there are God, Peidi, Daming, Yeming, Stars, Clouds, Rain, Wind, Thunder **** plates and **** cards invited by Huang Qiongyu; calf, sheep and sheep are placed in front of each god. , hog, jade, silk and board, 簠, gui, 笾, bean, jue, zun, 篚 and other offerings and sacrificial vessels.

On the day of the main sacrifice, at the hour of the twelfth, first burn the firewood, and then welcome the gods, lay jade and silk, enter the zu, the first offering, the officials read the blessings, the second offering, the final offering, drink blessing wine, receive the pilgrimage, remove the food, and send the gods off. , Wang Liao.

  Everything went smoothly, and when it was time for Lu Yan to send the Zhuban, silk, and delicacies to Liao for burning according to the etiquette, Hong Jizhong jumped out and said, "Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate!"

There was nothing wrong with the Ministry of Rites arranging the ceremony before. At this time, it was the critical period of offering sacrifices to the heavens. After ten days of busy work, all officials, big and small, were exhausted. Hong Jizhong stood up and pointed at Lu Yan and said to the emperor, " Your Majesty, since ancient times, no eunuchs have participated in the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven and earth. Now it is only because Lu Yan is a close minister of the emperor, and the Ministry of Rites and Xie Tiao flatter Dongchang that Lu Yan is allowed to take on this important task, and he is not afraid of offending the gods of heaven and earth. "

All eyes were on Lu Yan, only to see the stunning young man wearing a scarlet embroidered unicorn robe, his face was like a crown jade, his eyes were drooping, and the tails of his eyes were upturned. Dazzling red.

  Xie Tiao glanced at Hong Jizhong, and he came out and said, "Marquis Yiwu, according to Lord Hou, who should complete this last step?"

  Yi Wuhou was left speechless by the question, and sneered, "I am a military officer. This ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven and earth is what your civil servants should do. You ask me, how do I know?"

   "Since Lord Hou doesn't know, why do you question it?"

   "I haven't eaten pork, haven't I seen a pig walk? Even if I don't know a single word, I know it shouldn't be done by an eunuch!"

Xie Tiao couldn't help but glanced at Lu Yan, seeing that the young man was stunningly beautiful, with an extraordinary demeanor, and the noble sons of ordinary aristocratic families did not have his demeanor, so he couldn't help but secretly sighed in his heart, although he didn't know why Lu Yan helped the Xie family so much overtly and secretly , I also know that people should not forget their gratitude.

"Yiwuhou, this is the place of worship, please Yiwuhou be careful. If you follow the ancient rituals, you and I are not qualified to stand here today. Since ancient times, only the emperor is qualified to worship the heavens, and all sacrifices should be made by the emperor. If it is done by one person, we will only have to watch it. These blessing plates, silks, and delicacies should also be sent to the burning place by the emperor alone."

  The emperor glanced at the pile of sacrifices. The work was a bit heavy, so he couldn't help but gave Yiwuhou a hard look, and ordered, "Ah Yan, let Yiwuhou help you!"

  Xie Tiao said again, "Your Majesty, it's not right!"

Seeing that Xie Tiao wanted to raise the bar, the emperor was suddenly surprised, but heard Xie Tiao say, "The people chosen by my lord Zeng to assist the emperor to complete the sacrificial ceremony are all people with the utmost affection and kindness. I don't know whether Marquis Yiwu is Shendu For the sake of prudence, please ask Mr. Lu to do it alone, for fear of provoking the wrath of the heavens!"

  So that's the case, the emperor nodded and said, "Very good, Ai Qing is cautious, I almost neglected it!"

  Marquis Yiwu turned his head in anger. He only felt that the literati's words were full of needles hidden in every sentence, which taught people that they were hard to guard against. However, he couldn't say anything, because Xie Tiao didn't bluntly say that he had any words or deeds to deceive the dark room.

  Lu Yan glanced this way, and the eyes of Yaomei were radiant, as if just now, the person who was humiliated was not him.

  Women have nothing to do with offering sacrifices to heaven. On the day of the winter solstice, at the first moment of time, the female family members of the Xie family dressed up and prepared to go out.

Xie's family lives in the inner city, very close to the palace gate, but today, there are quite a lot of people entering the palace, and they need to queue up, and after Riyu, the emperor who worshiped heaven and others will return to the palace, and the gate of the palace will be crowded again .

  The Chuigong Hall is divided into the front hall and the back hall, and the annual winter solstice palace banquet is held in the Chuigong Hall.

The carriage stopped in front of the Xihua Gate, moved forward a few steps after a while, and waited for more than half an hour before it was the turn of Xie's carriage. The little **** who maintained order at the gate saw Xie Zhiwei's carriage, hey With a cry, he hurried forward and personally led the female family members of the Xie family to the Queen's Phoenix Toe Palace.

The Fengzhi Palace is already extremely lively, the queen is sitting on the Phoenix seat, the underground noble concubine and several ladies of the main palace are sitting on both sides, at the end is a newcomer who is about 16 or 17 years old, followed by some foreign wives , sit on the side.

   Mrs. Yuan led the two sisters Xie Zhiwei to the front, kowtowed to the queen first, and then greeted the main concubines.

   "This is Concubine Wan." The queen said something casually, and then stretched out her hand to Xie Zhiwei, "Little girl, come here, I have a look, it seems to have grown taller again."

  Yuan Jia was on the side, and said with a smile, "Sister Wei is just getting taller, doesn't she look different every day?"

  Xie Zhiwei hurried forward and took the queen's hand. She took a pulse and gave the queen a safe look. The look of vigilance in the queen's eyes was slightly lighter.

  There are so many people today, the queen is really worried. Although the fetus in the womb has already sat firmly, there are so many ways to harm people in the world, so one must not be careless.

   "This is the Duanxian County Lord, right?" Li Wanfen looked Xie Zhiwei up and down with presumptuous eyes, extremely rude.

Xie Zhi frowned slightly and glanced at Li Wanfen, only to see that she was wearing a dress that was different from Dayong's custom. She was covered with pearls, and a braid was drawn from the top of her head and dragged behind. It looks very enchanting.

At this moment, there was a commotion at the door, and a group of young girls walked in. One of the leaders was wearing a lavender orchid embroidered collar, a pink double-breasted trousers, a purple silk emerald skirt, a shocking bun on her hair, and two red tassels. Hanging down from the side of the topknot, adorning both sides, a ruby ​​forehead ornament dazzled her radiant and snowy face.

  Behind her, two sisters, Xue Wanqing and Xue Wanshuang, followed her, and came to the queen's phoenix seat to salute together with her, "Empress, Huihe brought the two girls of the Xue family in together."

   The third update!
