Although it was already dusk at this time, when the chariot arrived at the main hall of the inner city, music suddenly started to play, and hundreds of people marched in front of them holding ceremonial guards, leading the Queen Mother to climb the steps.
Early in the morning, he saw hundreds of officials waiting in front of the palace. Xun shouted: "The Queen Mother has arrived - please come to the palace."
There was loud music in front of the hall, and the bells and chimes were accompanied by bells and chimes. The Queen Mother listened carefully and entered the hall, and she saw that there was a main seat.
Ye Qing took a step forward and asked to take a seat.
Then all the civil and military officials, led by Ye Qing, bowed again: "The Queen Mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
This ceremony is different from the one just now. This is the official recognition of the Yuzhou system.
Although this matter had been known for a long time, in such a hall, when the ministers were saluting, there was a sound in the air. At this moment, the luck of Yuzhou and half of Jingdi spread, and the originally fragmented phoenix on the Queen Mother's head suddenly appeared.
A clear chant.
Qianqian's heart moved in the distance. When she opened her eyes and looked at the Queen Mother, she saw a faint phoenix hovering. The silk threads were condensed and restored, like a fire reborn, with a gorgeous posture.
From the outside, the Queen Mother looks more glorious and has gained a lot of elegance.
Qianqian pursed her lips, and secretly told Ye Qing through Taoist sound transmission, and sighed: "Even if you are a queen mother, you will inevitably suffer the ups and downs due to the limitations of your luck... Or can only the immortals in the sky avoid this?"
Ye Qing thought for a while and whispered secretly: "I don't know now, maybe I will know in the future, but I'm afraid that even immortals may not be exempt from vulgarity."
But it was impossible to continue talking in front of this hall.
After the obeisance was completed, the chief of ceremonies sang the salute in a melodious manner, and the Queen Mother issued an imperial edict. Just at a glance, how could it become a second order?
Before I had time to think about it, I heard the official saying: "The governor of Yuzhou listens to the announcement."
"I am here." Ye Qingshi responded and knelt down to worship. The official opened the imperial edict and read aloud: "The edict says: Liu Bei (Ye Qing), the clan member of the Han Dynasty, has fulfilled his duties with sincerity. Jin Yuzhou Mu and Jingzhou Mu, hereby express their gratitude.
"
This decree is very simple. After it was read out, Ye Qing and all the officials bowed down and said, "I have received my order."
As soon as he finished speaking, at this moment, the luck from Yuzhou and half of Jingland was condensed, and now it surged towards Ye Qing, pouring into it.
I saw that there was still red luck in the two states at this time, with silk threads hanging down, and a red dragon on top of Ye Qing's head. Suddenly, the horns grew a little longer, and two more claws grew out, suddenly showing majesty.
After receiving this edict, he saw the etiquette officer take out a second imperial edict: "...Female Liu Bei (Ye Qing) as Marquis of Ding, rank among the nobles, and live in a thousand households. I admire this."
This decree didn't have much energy. Just a "boom" was heard, but something condensed out, it was a small cauldron, rotating in the clouds.
Ye Qing immediately sat down and saluted, and after a while he said: "The Queen Mother is here from afar and she is tired. Please go back to the palace."
"Yes." Immediately someone asked for a ride. Amid the support of the crowd, the Queen Mother entered the back. As she stepped forward, she glanced at Ye Qing and knew that this journey had left a deep mark on her heart and she could never forget it.
I am really still alive.
The Queen Mother left, walked out of the palace gate, walked south, walked along the corridor, and arrived at a place. Qianqian pointed with a smile and said: "This was originally a garden, and my husband specially decorated it."
The Queen Mother looked up and saw the exquisite flowers on the palace wall. She had no intention of taking a closer look and walked straight along the corridor. She didn't see any eunuchs along the way, they were all maids.
We arrived at a place. It was not a big place, but there were corridors, attics, and small halls. Pines, poplars, firs, and willows were all in various shapes, elegant and exquisite, showing that they had put a lot of thought into it. Rows of palace maids came forward.
He saluted and said: "My servant pays homage to the Queen Mother."
Hearing this long-lost voice, she pinched her fingers and felt a little pain. She felt the unfamiliar atmosphere of this city and thought to herself: "This may be my new home."
I probably won't leave for the rest of my life.
As for Mrs. Xiao Mi’s comfort in being able to return to Luoyang...
Perhaps, this Liu Bei is indeed a bit strange, or he can really bring peace to the troubled times and revitalize the Han Dynasty.
"But it is not easy to be surrounded by heroes. It may take more than ten years or even decades." She glanced at the distance and said: "This man is the same age as me. I don't know if he can do it."
There were some inexplicable emotions and feelings during this part of the road, which were deeply hidden in her heart, and there would never be any trace of them again.
"Queen Mother, aren't we leaving?" At this time, a crisp voice interrupted her thinking. The Queen Mother lowered her body and hugged her daughter: "Well, this will be the home of Ning Ji and Queen Mother from now on."
main hall
"I have just read it. You have done a good job in Xuchang." Ye Qing said gently: "The documents that came up are not empty words. They are practical and can grasp the key points. I am very happy."
Xun bowed and said: "The Lord has set the rules for these, we are just following them."
"It's easy to do things well if you follow the instructions. In fact, no outsider can understand what it's like here. There have been regulations throughout the ages. How many people can work conscientiously and get things done well without avoiding resentment?"
"Now that the Queen Mother has arrived in Xuchang, I have been appointed as the governor of the state. It is just and legitimate. I should expand the army and improve military discipline, but you have to prepare food, grass, firewood, vegetables."
"Yes." Xun paused and said, "This is our duty."
Ye Qing nodded silently and said: "Today is already very busy - there is a banquet tonight, you go down and prepare it first
"Yes" the ministers exited.
Ye Qing came back inside. The guards and maids all kept quiet as they changed Ye Qing's clothes, brought some fruits and ate a small piece, wiped his face with a towel, and rinsed his mouth with water. Only then did Ye Qing feel more relaxed.
"How's the news from Chan'er?"
"It is certain that Dong Zhuo searched internally and fled to Chang'an, and attempted to provoke the outside world. This is the news confirmed by Miss Cicada on three lines." Cao Baijing said, and handed over the message: "There is also an unconfirmed rumor.
, I suspect that the Xiliang army intends to release it. Husband, please take a look."
"Sun Jian, the Shepherd of Yuzhou? Ha, let Yu Fan compete for my position as the Shepherd of Yuzhou?" Ye Qing smiled and shook his head: "There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. This Dong Zhuo is really interesting. Knowing that the Queen Mother fell into my hands, the Six Seals of the Emperor were lost again.
, are you ready to hand out titles indiscriminately?"
"This is just Dong Zhuo's wishful thinking, and Yu Fan may not agree."
"It's not necessarily that he won't agree, even if he asked for it himself?" Ye Qing's smile did not diminish, he walked and thought for a moment, his eyes calm: "It depends on what he chooses, if he wants to fight, then fight."
A distant county
It was raining, and the governor met with several officials in a hall.
Although the governor looked a little tired, he was in high spirits. He smiled and looked at several officials, saluted, sat down, and said, "That's it, Fang Shi. You have the information on the interrogation board, so just tell the news."
Fang Shi looked at it carefully and knew that the governor was living a very comfortable life. He knew that the governor was already old and incapable of doing many things, but here he was in his prime. He smiled secretly in his heart and hurriedly bowed, saying: "Yes."
, According to the news, the Queen Mother has indeed arrived in Xuchang, and she has brought the emperor's six seals with her. She has also made Ye Qingyu the governor of Jingliangzhou and the Marquis of Ding."
"Huh, Marquis Ding, he deserves it too," one person roared angrily.
Dinghou, this meaning is very obvious, it means that the empress dowager Xu Yeqing, a member of the Han clan, brought peace to the troubled times.
"Master Zhang," Fang Shilue bowed and said, "Although this Ye Qing is just trying to gain fame, he really plays ruthless and accurate chess. He took advantage of Emperor Xian's death to rob the Queen Mother and came out, and even took the Emperor's Six Seals with him."
"I have read the history of this place, and I can see it carefully. There was Guangwu Zhongxing before. There is this example. Ye Qing took control of Yuzhou first, and also had the title of Jingzhou. Jingzhou has no one at this time, and I am afraid it will be difficult to stop it - with two
This is the essence of the state, and Marquis Ding can really stand in front of it."
Fang Shi said this on the spot. Zhang Xiang couldn't help being startled, with a bit of confusion on his face, which immediately made everyone feel uncomfortable. He was about to say something, but heard the governor say: "When it comes to reading, you are far behind, and we only have Fang Shi."
Only adults read these indigenous history books - what other information is there?"
"Returning to the governor, Ye Qing has the title of Queen Mother, and we also have the title of Luoyang. Governor, you have been granted the title of Yanzhou Shepherd, Yu Fan has been granted the title of Yuzhou Shepherd, and Yuan Shu has been granted the title of Yangzhou Shepherd..." Before Fang Shi finished speaking, everyone laughed.
Come on, these people will know this strategy at a glance.
Fang Shi glanced at the crowd, bowed again and said: "Although this method of sowing dissension is simple, it has proven to be effective every time. I heard that Luoyang is going to seal General Ye Qing. This is like hanging it on the fire. It seems that even if it is a native
, Thief Dong is most jealous of Ye Qing now."
"That's all?" The governor seemed a little surprised. He stood up, walked around, and said with some emotion: "I think Ye Qing came from a poor family. At that time, he was like a firefly. He didn't want to win the lottery one after another and become a success all the way.
God."
"Then he used troops many times to win, but that's all. Now in the lower world, I can see the true color of this man - he is experienced in politics, I am afraid he is not inferior to our veteran officials in the border areas."
Zhang Xiang immediately stood up and said: "He is a talent, but precisely because of this, he is the roadblock in front of us, so we have to remove him."
Fang Shi didn't say anything when he saw it. He sneered in his heart and didn't argue with him.
"Well..." The governor looked at Fang Shi and Zhang Xiang, and his tone became more gentle: "What are the regulations?"
Zhang Xiang handed over the paper. The governor looked at it, remained silent for a long time, and asked, "Is this the decision you all made?"
"Yes" was answered by several people.
"Hey, although it's a pity, it has to be done," the governor sighed, paused, and said, "Just follow this."
Fang Shi retreated and returned to the mansion, only to see one of the people just now, the person who called Gao Tang, coming over. Fang Shi couldn't help but smile: "Is there anything important that comes in such a hurry?"
Gao Tang followed Fang Shi into the house, sat down in the hall, and said directly: "It's nothing serious, I'm just a little uneasy. I want to talk to you, third brother."
"Serve tea" Fang Shi ordered. When he saw the tea was served, he left and then smiled: "What is this?"
Gao Tang took a sip with a sullen expression and asked: "Zhang Xiang, if you heard what he said just now, he took all the credit on himself - why didn't you refute it?"
Fang Shi listened thoughtfully and smiled: "It turns out that this is the case. This person only knows this trick and can't get on the stage. Besides, with him coming forward, we don't have to come forward directly. As long as we don't come forward directly, we will have to deal with it in the future."
There is some room for change”
As soon as he said this, Gaotang was shocked and lowered his voice: "Are you not optimistic about the Governor's action?"
Fang Shi didn't speak for a long time and then said: "This seems to be too hasty. Besides, the governor is in front and this person is the scapegoat. No matter what happens or not, we have a way out. It's not about whether we are optimistic or not.
"
This is indeed a mature statement, Gao Tang couldn't help but nod.
