Chapter 236: The Empress Dowager(1/2)
The prosperous Kyoto City is filled with people, and celebrities gather in Hongwenguan. The students are crowded in this prosperous Kyoto City. Looking at the lively exchanges, they are increasingly yearning for such a prosperous imperial capital!
Looking at the excitement in front of me, all I think of is the salary of high officials and a bright future!
If you can get fame and fortune, you can not only bring honor to your ancestors, but also be worshipped by all the people. Thinking about the powerful minister of Gu Taiwei, who had been in power for several days, you can already feel the power of power and the Roewe it brought to people.
Since the Duanmu clan declined and lagged behind, many high-ranking officials were dismissed, many officials in Beijing were vacant, and emperors suppressed the Hua family. Everyone's eyes were placed above the three provinces of the Secretariat.
If you can gain the emperor's eyes, your future status will be unprecedented!
However, the basis of these needs to be based on their abilities. It is not such a beautiful and simple thing to do when working in a cannibalistic court.
If you don’t have a brain, can you gain a foothold?
Some powerful people, even if they are in the cabinet and are worried about their strength, will not enjoy their blessings in a short life.
If you step on the wrong foot, you will never be defeated.
What's more, whenever the emperor says something wrong, it is often the case that he loses his head.
It is even more difficult to be a powerful minister.
For example, the transcendent status of Taiwei Gu was too scared by the emperor, and his great achievements shocked the master. His power was greater than that of heaven, and you were not far from destruction.
Old people in Kyoto City go quickly, and new people come quickly.
It is a matter of time before the new and old changes in the court.
It depends on how much you can control the court.
There is still half a month left before the scientific examination, and the New Year will be two more days.
Every household posted red couplets and lit red lanterns, which was a festive look!
Chu Yu, a student far away from his hometown, also sent some condolences to ensure the students' food, clothing and expenses, and took care of the emotions of students who went on a long journey to seek fame and fortune.
The emperor Chu Yu naturally received praise from the students!
Not to mention this, it was reported that Concubine Jiang was pregnant before the age of a year, which was a great event in the Northern Tang Dynasty. Hearing that Chu Yu even gave Jiang Xiangchan a lot of things, which made Gu Chenxiang angry several times in Fengyi Palace.
After Gu Wenhua's death, the situation of the Gu family changed. The Yang family had to consider selecting qualified ones from the children of the illegitimate children as adopted by the legitimate son.
Even if such a thing happened, Yang had to listen to Taiwei Gu and endure the pain of selecting people even if he was unwilling to do so.
The faster this matter, the better, and it is even more careless.
On the New Year, Mu Jinghong sent some good things to the Mu Mansion, and everyone in the Mu family had one.
The lights were on at night, and Mu Jinghong was sitting in the room with charcoal fires. The maid and the old man came in with New Year's vegetables and rice from time to time. After discussing some things with Changjiu in the study, Chu Qi entered the small flower hall. Seeing Mu Jinghong lazily leaning in the chair, he was still holding a book in his hand, and he was a little fascinated.
Frost Han, who had brushed the moon white brocade clothes, pursed her thin lips and smiled slightly, her eyes as dark as the night, and her temperament was close to the demon!
When I entered the house, a layer of bright light spread out from him, dazzling and charming!
The maid in the room did not see such a scene, her face was so blushed and bleeding. Even if she had seen it many times, she was still not used to it.
When I met King Yu, I couldn't help but blush and my heart beat, and my mind was in a daze!
"Don't be distracted before the princess eats, come here."
The sound is like a rhythm around the beam, trembling the heartstrings!
The book in Mu Jinghong's hand almost shook off, and the next moment, it was pulled away by a hand with a distinct knuckle and placed aside. The ink hair fell down, and the fragrance of ink was scented.
She stood up, avoided his slightly leaning down movement, and held her slightly hot pretty face, and looked away from his bright moon-like face.
At first, she was unable to be disturbed by his beauty, but now, he felt suffocated and throbbing even more when he got closer.
How could she not touch her children's love affair without success?
If you want to leave him in the future, you will not be able to bear it.
Her avoidance movement became more and more obvious, and it was another charm in Chu Qi's eyes.
"Today is the big day, and it's been a year since the princess married into Prince Yu's Mansion."
It has been less than a year since I calculated it, but after crossing this, it will be considered a year since I entered the mansion.
Mu Jinghong couldn't help but remember the scene when he first returned to Kyoto City, with an indifferent expression.
Seeing her thinking about the appearance of the evening, she put a Xiyuanzi in her bowl, and her voice was as warm as a spring, "Princess, try it, this is the Xiyuanzi that the king specially asked the chef to make for the princess, which means reunion and reunion!"
Mu Jinghong looked at Xiyuanzi dyed in front of him, raised his dark eyes and looked at him, buried his head and took a bite, "The chef recruited by the prince is indeed a bit capable, and the taste is very well controlled!"
"Since I like it, eat more," He placed Xi Yuanzi in front of her, and his picturesque smile reflected in Mu Jinghong's eyes. His barely calm heart floated again, and he couldn't help but jump wildly, and his mind was in a daze.
The color was effective, and Chu Qi smiled extremely subtlely, and his eyes suddenly became softer when he looked at her.
The spring breeze like water blows into the lake of my heart, Mu Jinghong blinks his face, and his soul returns, and he can't help but regret.
He bit off Xiyuanzi and became anxious because of the choking.
Her gentle hand stroked her thin back, leaned her head in front of her, and she said with a low smile, "Don't be anxious for my beloved concubine."
"Ahem cough cough..."
Mu Jinghong coughed anxiously, his face flushed, and almost broke his breath.
The "beloved concubine" sounds like a whispering into her ears. The floating flowers caressed across the quiet lake, gently swaying on her face, and brushing into the lake. The gentle breeze blew the floating flowers for several feet, rippling ripples!
Caught off guard, disturbing the heart!
Her palm gently caresses her trembling thin back, her gorgeous lips slightly curls with a few smile patterns, and there are extremely elegant smile marks in her eyes.
"Don't worry, princess, I won't rob it."
"Prince... don't want... to make fun of me again."
After finally stabilizing, Mu Jinghong said a little unhappy.
"Yes, I'm missing my words." After she calmed down, Chu Qi stopped his movements.
The meal was faster, and Mu Jinghong didn't care whether this was the first New Year's Eve dinner for the two. He was about to leave after eating, but was stopped by Chu Qi, "The princess has eaten a lot, and it is very strong outside. I haven't returned to Kyoto City for a long time to experience the excitement. I will accompany me out for a walk."
Mu Jinghong wanted to refuse, but Chu Qi had already gotten up, took the hexagonal lantern handed over by Chanjiu, and looked at her side.
The strange look was like the night, and the ultimate charm conveyed in her side eyes made her unable to say anything she refused, so she nodded and followed.
Madam Liu explained and followed behind her with a cloak.
The two maids did not dare to follow behind, for fear of being embarrassed, so they asked Mama Liu to scold her again.
The commission was so aggrieved that he was in the royal palace, and was sitting in front of him for the New Year.
The atmosphere outside was much more lively than I thought. In order to avoid some things, Chu Qi put on a hat, hung his gauze curtain, and swaggered into the crowd.
Seeing him dressed like this, Mu Jinghong couldn't help but feel funny.
"The princess is making fun of me?"
The smile on his face could not be hidden. Chu Qi pinched her jade palm with some punishment, and the palm was pinched down. Mu Jinghong shrank back in shock.
"Please don't want this, your lord."
"Why, I have to obtain consent or not to move with my princess?"
"Your Majesty, don't misinterpret my words."
Someone squeezed over in front, hit her shoulder, tilted her body, and threw it into his arms.
Holding her soft waist, Chu Qi smiled and took the person openly into his arms, "What is the princess doing? She threw herself into her arms in public!"
I don’t know if it’s anger or shame, but Mu Jinghong’s skin turned red and his breath was very hot.
Push him up, straighten him, and leave his face away.
As she moved forward half a step behind her, Chu Qi could see her still blushing face through the gauze, and her mood became better and better!
There are also hawking sounds, shouting in restaurants, and a large number of students who are playing in the street. There are also fans who are guessing about poetry in the street.
All kinds of things gather into a prosperous scene!
If it weren't for knowing the corruption of the court, Mu Jinghong would have smiled sincerely when he looked at these scenes.
"It is difficult to get the scientific examination after the New Year," Chu Qi's voice came from above his head, as if he was sighing.
"This is indeed the first time such a scientific test," Chu Yu was too anxious.
He wants to eagerly recruit talents and take control of them.
Several emperors have fully controlled the direction of court officials in all dynasties? Chu Yu wanted to hold these powers in his hands, and the Northern Tang became more and more chaotic, and he was also suffering.
"The emperor has his considerations," Mu Jinghong did not avoid it and said bluntly: "It's just that I'm too anxious, and some things will get worse and worse."
"I heard from the princess' tone that I am sure that this scientific examination will go wrong? What a pity, even if it is a chaos, the princess may not be able to see it with her own eyes."
Mu Jinghong was stunned, and then remembered the fact that he wanted to follow him back to Dongqi. "It is my blessing to be able to avoid these."
"The emperor's brother has been a little impatient recently and is unstable. I don't know how his physical condition is?"
A sudden sentence made Mu Jinghong narrow his eyes, but he refused to look at him. The people around him could see through other people's thoughts at a glance, and she would reveal her emotions as soon as she turned around.
"I hope that the Northern Tang Dynasty can be safe and quiet, and the people do not need to suffer." If the emperor is replaced, it may not be better.
He is not determined to do this, but some people force him to control power. When necessary, he can also hold power and fight back. He is not a doll made by mud, so you can just be happy and you can play with it.
