Four hundred and seventieth eight chapters waiting for the king's luck (six)
The gate of the Royal ancestral temple slowly opened, and Han Jian accompanied the queen to slowly walk into the gate of the ancestral temple. The gate was closed again, and there were many spiritual signs in the entire hall. After Yang Yu usurped the throne, Yang Yu still paid great attention to the maintenance of the ancestral temple, and the entire royal ancestral temple seemed spotless.
The queen slowly walked forward, but Han Jian did not move behind him. He was not sure about the purpose of the queen letting him in.
Although Han Jian did not believe in the sayings of ghosts and gods, this involved the issue of the feudal ritual system and he would not neglect it. Knowing that there were tablets of the royal ancestors in front of him, he still did not want to go forward and have some abruptness.
The queen stared at the tablets of the royal ancestors and portraits of the emperors of the Wei Dynasty hanging in the main hall. When she saw the portrait of her father, even standing beside the queen, Han Jian noticed tears on the queen's face.
Han Jian and the Queen have been together for a long time, and this is the first time that he has seen the queen's fragile side. Even if the Queen said coldly to him, she had never shed tears in front of him. But when she arrived at a place like the Royal Ancestral Temple, the Queen could not help but.
"Jian'er, come here." The queen wiped the tears on her face, and suddenly turned around to greet Han Jian.
"Your Majesty...this..."
Even though there was nothing else in the hall except him, because there were spiritual cards in front of him, Han Jian naturally called the queen "Your Majesty". On weekdays, Han Jian directly called the queen "Ruier".
The queen smiled faintly, and the smile became a little warmer. Han Jian looked at it and felt that the queen in front of him seemed to be another person, a tactful and virtuous woman, gentleness was greater than majesty.
"I still call me Your Majesty?" said the queen, "I asked you to come this time to take you to my ancestors of the Yang family. Although our affairs can be concealed from outsiders, we cannot conceal the ancestors of the ancestors."
Han Jian then understood the Queen's intention. Since the Queen said so, he naturally could not hide behind him. He took a few steps forward and stood side by side with the Queen.
There was only a yellow mat in front of the queen, which was the place where the queen used to burn incense and bow to him. The queen looked at her father's portrait and said, "The father is here, today my daughter returns, bring her husband to see her father."
After saying that, the queen knelt down slowly, and her skirt was not even disguised. So everyone was a little restrained. Han Jian wanted to help the queen sort out, but the queen kowtowed, but looked up at Han Jian and said, "Kneel with me."
"Um."
Han Jian was a little embarrassed. After all, there was only one cushion. Could it be that he would kneel down on the cold ground? There is no cement floor these days. Although the ground is very flat, it is just mud. This place is not an inner courtyard of the palace. There is no flat marble and white marble, only simple decorations that seem simple and simple.
The queen seemed to have noticed Han Jian's embarrassment. She moved her knees slightly, gave up half of the mat for Han Jian, and said, "Together."
"This... isn't that good?" Han Jian said with a smile.
"You must not be arrogant in front of your ancestors. What's wrong with me and you are about to kneel together?" The queen said as if she was a little resentful and resentful tone.
Han Jian didn't say much, and knelt down on the same mat as the queen, but he did not kowtow. Because he didn't understand the royal sacrifice very well, he didn't know that as the queen's husband, he should kowtow to these ancient emperors and princes.
After the queen said that, she walked in front with Han Jian's support, and the group headed towards the Wenwu Palace.
When we arrived at the Wenwu Palace, the palace maids and eunuchs had already been prepared. Although the food in the imperial kitchen was still being prepared, the basic refreshments were ready, just waiting for the queen, civil servants, military generals, and princes and nobles to attend the table.
Just as the queen was about to step into the Wenwu Hall, a man who looked like a minister seemed very excited and wanted to break forward. This person was stopped by the guards, and this person was shouting, just like Han Jian's impression of the kind of person who stopped and made grievances was muttering.
"Who is the noise?" The queen looked at the noisy minister sternly.
"Reply to Your Majesty, Taichang of the Ministry of Rites wants to meet Your Majesty, and said that there is something important to report." Lin Ke stepped forward and wiped his cold sweat.
"Taichangqing of the Ministry of Rites?" The queen thought about it, and seemed that she didn't remember this person.
The empress was very familiar with civil servants and military generals in Luoyang, but after Yang Yu usurped the throne, many people's official positions changed, and Yang Yu also promoted a large number of his confidants, or those small officials who were helpless and unlicensed. After the Eastern King Army entered Luoyang, it only carried out a small liquidation of some of Yang Yu's main followers. As for some officials of sesame and mung beans, they followed Yang Yu's arrangements and agreed to stay or dismissal after the empress came back.
"Let him come here." said the queen.
This time, not only Lin Ke, but even Han Jian felt that this was inappropriate.
After all, an ordinary civil servant, Taichangqing of the Ministry of Rites, sounds very high, but in fact he is only a fourth or fifth rank. Even if such an official attends a palace banquet, he is at most just a guest with guests. Such a person will only take it out to fill in his numbers when the Luoyang official system is paralyzed. Such a person dares to come out to contradict the Holy Lord to report some major events. If this precedent is set in the future, will everyone else come to "death advice"?
"Dongwang, do you think... I shouldn't see you?" The queen looked at Han Jian, as if she was a little suspicious.
Han Jian smiled and said, "I dare not. However, this person's origin is unknown, and he may not be sure of being a rebel. In order to prevent him from being unfavorable to His Majesty, it is better to let me go and take a look. If there is something important, it is not too late to let him come over to meet His Majesty again."
"Yeah." The queen nodded and said, "What the King of Dong is wary of is that there are many thieves and ruthless people in Luoyang City, so it's better to be careful in everything. But King of Dong, don't go, Shangshu Lin, go and ask carefully, and then come and report to me."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I'll go now." Lin Ke continued to wipe the sweat from his head. In the middle of winter, the sweat on his head never stopped.
When Lin Ke passed, the queen kept walking and entered the Wenwu Hall with the help of Han Jian. The queen sat directly in the main seat, and prepared two seats beside the queen, one on the left and one on the right. On the left was a single seat, prepared for the Southern King Yang Luochuan. The seat of the Eastern King was on the right head of the Queen, but a double seat, prepared for the Eastern King and the Eastern Princess.
This time the empress returned, and claimed to the public that it was the Eastern Palace and the Southern Palace who had made contributions to the king. But everyone knows that the Eastern Palace has made great contributions in this matter, and the Southern Palace has only helped a little favor at the last moment. But in the scene, the queen seemed to respect the Eastern Palace and the Southern Palace, which made people know that she still had two trusted vassal kings under her command. (To be continued)
