"Who are you, who dare to slander the men of my family?!" Liu Yue'e looked at her coldly, and the princes and ministers even stayed away, let alone the ordinary people?
The troupe stopped playing, and the troupe leader said casually: "May I ask your honorable husband..."
"My surname is Chen, the top pick in the previous term!"
"Young lady, I misunderstood, we are talking about the number one scholar in the new science..." As the saying goes, one thing is good for another, the slickness of the common people is a sharp weapon against Liu Yue'e, the team leader smiled and said: "It's not the same thing as your husband.
Son."
"The new champion's surname is Liu, and the governor of Kaifeng at that time was not surnamed Bao, but Ouyang." Liu Yue'e said coldly.
"I don't know what the ordinary people are doing," someone nearby said helpfully, "Maybe it's because he's wearing a crown."
"That's right, today is a Shang Yuan Ye with no taboos. Don't say you didn't name me by name, so what if you did!"
Liu Yue'e turned around and glared, and the few supportive scribes quickly shrank their heads and hid behind the crowd.
But the emotions of the crowd have been aroused, and everyone said: "That's right, if you make any trouble, it doesn't matter if you name it!"
"Anyway, the surname is not allowed to be Chen..." Liu Yue'e became angry.
At this time, her little hand was firmly grasped by a warm big hand. Chen Ke appeared next to her and said with a smile: "It is really a blessing in life to have a wife who protects you. How could Chen be so virtuous?
There are two of them at the same time." He looked around at the crowd and said, "If someone slanders you in public, will your wife come forward?"
Everyone unconsciously developed empathy and couldn't help but laugh: "That's a good relationship. It's not like I raised that woman in vain."
Before he finished speaking, Su Xiaomei, who was holding Chen Ke's other hand, appeared in front of everyone like a water lotus. She smiled and said: "Dear Bianjing elders, our wedding on August 16th was attended by officials, so you should
Do you have any impressions?" He looked at the leader and said: "This story should be interpreted from the official decree. It's okay for you to arrange my officials, but you distort the sacred intention. But it is the crime of deceiving the emperor.
We said we should not go to Kaifeng Mansion to file a complaint."
"This..." The class leader could not have expected that this delicate and frail woman would be more difficult to deal with than the previous one. His grass stage troupe is a small business. A few days ago, a customer took a book and asked them to sing at a high price during the Lantern Festival.
, of course there is no reason not to accept it.
Seeing that he had met the rightful owner and threatened to sue the official, he couldn't help but feel timid... Just like in the opera, there are officials protecting each other in the yamen, and the other party will definitely torture him to death.
"If you don't perform, you won't perform. It's really unlucky." The class leader dejectedly ordered the booth to be closed.
Seeing that he gave up, everyone couldn't help but feel disappointed. Seeing that the Chen family had also left, they knew there was no fun to watch, so they had no choice but to disperse.
The class leader packed up the stall and was about to change places to perform again, but saw that Chen Zhuangyuan had left a guard present. He couldn't help but secretly said that it was unlucky: "I have people staring at me. No wonder I won the first prize and did everything flawlessly."
Just when he was completely discouraged, the guard took out a piece of Bianjing money that was payable on sight, handed it to him and said, "This is what my lord gives to you."
The class leader didn't know why, but it didn't affect him from accepting the money.
"Wait a minute, there's a question you have to answer first." The guard withdrew his hand and said, "Who taught you to sing this play?"
This is not a secret. The class leader replied happily: "It was Scary Asan who built the bridge. As for what kind of god the other party is, I don't know."
The guard nodded and handed him the money, without asking where he could find the scabby Asan... In that compartment, Chen Ke's family had already moved to the other side of the street. In Chen Ke and his little sister's room After being enlightened, Liu Yue'e was no longer angry, and happily watched the stall selling 'sparks' on the side of the road.
People in the Song Dynasty, regardless of gender, old or young, all liked to wear flowers. However, it was night after all, and even the best flowers were eclipsed. If you want to attract more attention, you have to be creative.
This didn't bother the Song people who knew how to live well, so the stalls sold various colorful lanterns as big as jujubes and pearl mushrooms. What's more, there was also a kind of food lantern called "Fire Bayberry", which was Use ripe dates to pound charcoal balls as bullets, and then string them on iron branches to light the fire... This thing is stuck on the head, and it is absolutely eye-catching in the already dazzling light.
Liu Yue'e picked out a bunch of 'Lamp Balls to Make Moths' for herself, her little sister, and Qing Shuang, but she put a burning bayberry on Chen Ke's head.
How could Chen Ke let her succeed? The two started playing in the street, making the younger sister and Qingshuang giggle.
The Lantern Festival is used for carnival. At this time, they can finally be ordinary people and have fun without having to worry about the censor's impeachment all the time.
Not just them, the whole city was completely immersed in a feverish atmosphere of joy. For five days, everyone spent all day and night before returning home, quickly going to bed to catch up on sleep, and saving energy for the night's carnival. Wait until the sun sets. Next, I gathered my friends again and went out to have a party...
In this way, he played outside for five nights day and night. On the twentieth day, Chen Ke honestly made up for his sleep at home. Because the twenty-first day of the first lunar month was the day of the new year. Although he was not allowed to speak in the court. Son, but since you are promoted to a court official, you have to serve as a foil for others.
After all, he was still young. After a long and dark sleep, Chen Ke became energetic again. After washing and dressing up, he rushed to the waiting courtyard outside Xuande Gate without eating.
When he arrived at the door, Chen Yi bought him a portion of pork liver porridge and meat buns, and Chen Ke took them into the waiting room.
After entering, I saw that most of my colleagues looked tired, obviously suffering from the onset of 'post-holiday syndrome'. However, most of them were holding on, staring with red eyes, and talking in low voices.
Chen Ke divided the breakfast by three times, finished the breakfast, picked up the tea cup provided by the hospital, rinsed his mouth, and asked his colleagues on the side: "What's wrong? It seems like a pot has exploded?"
"Absolutely." The rooms in the Song Dynasty's waiting room were divided into rooms according to grades, so they were not allowed to enter indiscriminately. As time went by, the officials waiting for the court in the same room naturally became more familiar with their ordinary colleagues. The person he asked was the Shaoqing Wang of Taipu Temple. Yi is the son of Wang Zeng, a famous minister of the former dynasty. It is difficult for an official like this to enter an official position with such kindness and grace and then climb up.
There is no hope in the official career, and there will naturally be more leisure and leisure. Wang Yi is a famous "inquisitor", so he lowered his voice and said: "Did you know that last night, for the second time since the founding of the country, the palace gate was opened at night?"
"Ah..." Chen Ke said in surprise: "No?"
'All gates in the imperial city must be closed as soon as it gets dark, and must not be opened before sunrise'. This is an iron rule in the palace. Officials are disappointed with the nightlife in Bianjing City. Isn't it because he is a man who goes out every night? Want to be locked up as a prisoner?
However, the consequences of opening the palace gate at night were extremely serious. The last opening in the middle of the night ended the imperial lineage of Taizu and promoted Taizong's accession to the throne. Although they benefited from this incident, Zhao Er and his descendants were absolutely Not wanting the same scenario to happen again, this prohibition was reiterated repeatedly.
It is precisely because of this that the opening of palace gates at night was elevated to a political level and affected the nerves of officials in the Song Dynasty.
On the first day of work in the new year, I heard that the palace gate was opened last night. There is no more refreshing news than this... What is going on?" Chen Ke asked: "Who is so capable?"
"It's the apple of His Majesty's eye - the Princess of Gun Kingdom." Wang Yi whispered: "Given the relationship between your wife and the princess, you should know that she has always had conflicts with her husband's family."
Chen Ke was noncommittal and listened to what he said: "I don't know what happened in the middle of the night yesterday. The princess actually drove back to the palace and opened the forbidden door late at night. As for what happened, we don't know."
It turned out that the couple had an argument and the princess ran back to her parents' home. Chen Ke couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed... What's this big deal?
But then I thought about it, this princess's natal family is not another family. If the palace gate is opened at night, it will definitely cause an uproar. At least the censors and officials will swarm up like flies seeing blood.
"The princess is so willful," thinking of this, he sighed softly: "Now the family affairs will get out of hand."
"That's right, those officials who advised Taiwan have already received the letter, and they are writing letters next door to prepare for the first shot of the new year." Wang Yi curled his lips and said: "Even those who are not officials, there are still many who want to join in the fun.
People are here."
This is easy to understand. In the Song Dynasty, if you didn't have connections and wanted to be promoted quickly, you had to rely on being famous. How can you become famous? Insult people, celebrities, and big shots.
Princess Gun is the apple of the emperor's eye and a good target for them to become famous.
At this time, the bell rang, and all the officials came out of the courtyard and lined up in front of Xuande Gate. They saw Li Wei, the prince-in-law, who was stripped barefoot and carrying a thorn stick on his back.
With his disheveled hair blocking him, he didn't even need to look at the faces of the officials and walked straight to the palace door that had just opened.
The eunuchs stopped him for a moment and saw him showing his ivory waistband of "Prince Consort Duwei", so they let him go.
Li Wei entered the palace, went straight to the Funing Palace, and bowed down on the steps to plead guilty to the officials.
By this time, Princess Gun had finished crying and went back to rest with her biological mother, Concubine Miao Xian. The official, who had woken up in the middle of the night and never slept a wink, also changed his court clothes and prepared to go to court.
Seeing Li Wei kneeling in front of the palace, Zhao Zhen didn't want to look at him, so he asked Hu Yandui to help him up and said, "You go back first. I have to go to court. We can discuss this later."
Li Wei was so frightened that he kowtowed repeatedly and said repeatedly that he was "not a good servant of the master. He is guilty of a crime that cannot be forgiven. Please be punished by the officials." As he said this, he raised the wattle sticks with both hands.
Zhao Zhen was already angry after hearing his beloved daughter's cry, but he knew well that he should not listen to one side, so he tried not to get angry. Hearing this, he said bitterly: "You must disappear quickly, otherwise the news will spread."
It’s not just the two of you’s business to go to the palace!”
Li Wei couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this. His ghostly appearance has been seen by hundreds of officials...divided...It's the last day of this month, how fast...
