Chapter 507 Duke Yan fainted
“Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body and never stay up late to deal with state affairs... If you hear any news later, your Majesty, please don’t worry, just wait for the good news. "After the Duke of Yan finished speaking, he bowed and left.
Emperor Wu Xing: "..."
What does this kid want to do again?
Outside the Golden Palace, when the ministers saw that Duke Yan had finally come out, they hurriedly gathered around and asked eagerly: "Gong Yan, is there any good news?"
Has His Majesty agreed to downgrade the fourth noble concubine?
The Duke of Yan smiled and nodded: "There is indeed good news."
The ministers were overjoyed. Mr. Zhou took a deep breath and sighed: "Only the Duke of Yan Your Majesty can be persuaded."
The ferocious Emperor Wu Xing was persuaded as soon as he took action.
The ministers also praised and asked: "Duke Yan, when will your Majesty decree that the concubines be demoted to the first-class concubines?"
The Duke of Yan was a little dumbfounded and said, "Comrades, please don't worry. The good news I told you is that your Majesty has made a decree to favor Lin Ji's eldest son."
Your Majesty actually gave Lin Ji's son Yin Yin?
Looking at His Majesty's aggressive manner of beheading Lin Ji, they thought that His Majesty was going to issue an order to raid Lin Ji's home and denounce Lin Ji's family.
After all, Lin Ji is not clean. If there wasn't a master behind him, how dare he, a small official, clamor for the appointment of a deputy queen?
"Your Majesty's Holy Grace!" The ministers flattered Emperor Wuxing and then asked: "Duke Yan, is there any progress in the downgrading of the four noble concubines?"
"This matter involves etiquette. If you don't follow etiquette, it may damage the foundation of the dynasty!"
The Duke of Yan looked at them and said after a while: "My lords, your majesty canonizes four noble concubines as a gift to everyone. If not, His Majesty only needs to confer a title on the moon. Concubine De and Concubine Yongde are enough.”
“The ancestral precepts are not a formal Wei law, and it does not confer multiple queens. It just adds two more concubines to the Wei royal family, and it does not break the etiquette. .”
What nonsense is this?
The ministers were angry.
However, in order to force Emperor Wuxing to bow his head and pave the way for various persecutions in the future, weren't they also using the banner of etiquette and exaggerating the impact of canonizing the four noble concubines on etiquette and law?
We all have selfish motives, no one can criticize anyone else.
"Mr. Yan." Eunuch Wei came out again and loudly advised Duke Yan: "Your Majesty said that your official duties are heavy, so don't worry about these small things anymore. Let me personally take you back to rest." "
Little things?
The ministers were angry. They knelt for a whole day and one person died. Can it be considered a small matter? Your Majesty is too disrespectful to their civil servants!
However, there is something even more shameless.
Superintendent Wei stood up straight and shouted: "Your Majesty has spoken. I, as I have said, the imperial edict to confer the four noble concubines has been issued, and there is absolutely no possibility of changing it. If you are not happy, you can submit a resignation memorial and I will approve it. , allow you to return to your hometown to retire!”
If you can do it, resign and get out.
The ministers were ashamed and angry, and began to cry again: "Your Majesty Taizong..."
Bang!
The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.
“Duke Yan, Duke Yan fainted!”
“Duke Yan!”
“Quickly send the message to the imperial doctor!”
Everyone The ministers were so frightened that they stopped crying and called the imperial doctor one after another... Duke Yan must be saved, otherwise Emperor Wuxing would have to kill all ten of their clans and bury them with Duke Yan.
However, before the imperial doctor from the Golden Palace could rush out, Yan Zhou opened his eyes and said weakly but clearly: "Comrades, I am not very strong. Can you please send me back to your home?"
The steps are here, if you want to go down, hurry up.
Mr. Zhou sighed but said nothing.
His disciple Master Xu understood and said: "Dong Yan, we will take you back to your home."
When someone spoke, other ministers had the nerve to follow.
For those who still didn't want to leave, other adults persuaded them: "Master Chen, Duke Yan is so worried that he fainted because of this matter. Let's go back!" The adults will leave.
A moment later, outside the Golden Palace, there were no more courtiers kneeling to admonish. "Your Majesty, all of you have left." Qianhu, the imperial army on duty today, came to report and said: "The Duke of Yan has not fainted."
Emperor Wu Xing knew that Yan Zhou was Pretending, but he still He was heartbroken and resented the civil servants even more: "A little thing like soybeans can cause an uproar, and you really take yourself seriously. The next time you make trouble, I will send them to the battlefield to fight against the enemy, and see if they still make trouble!"< br>
The officials in the capital just had such a good life, and he didn't mind letting them taste hardship and death.
......
The next day, the Duke of Yan went to intercede for the adults who had remonstrated, but he fainted in a hurry and was sent back to his home by the adults. The news spread throughout the capital.
After the civil servants and generals finished handling their official duties, they sent condolences to the Duke of Yan and various precious medicinal materials.
If someone with high status or someone close to him comes to visit him in person.
Xiang Wei of the Xiang family and Yong Zhi, the son-in-law of Marquis Wenchang, looked at Yan Zhou, who was leaning on the soft couch with a pale face, and said guiltily: "This incident is all caused by our family. Brother Lao Yan, please take the trouble." . ”
It was agreed before that the girls from the Xiang family and the Wenchanghou family were just ordinary concubines, but now they have become noble concubines, exceeding the quota prescribed by their ancestors, so the civil servants made such a fuss.
Yan Zhou said with a smile: "What does this have to do with you two? It's all His Majesty's idea. We are just doing errands for His Majesty."
This is true, and Xiang Yong and two others heard it very well. Comfortable.
After all, their family was being roasted on the fire regarding the canonization of the fourth noble concubine, and they felt somewhat resentful.
Yong Zhi looked at his face and asked worriedly: "Brother Yan really fainted?"
Yan Guogong nodded: "Of course he really fainted, but he woke up quickly, it's nothing serious. Xiang Brother Yong, don’t worry.”
After saying that, he winked at them and smiled, clearly hinting to them that no, he just couldn’t say the pretense.
When Xiang Wei and Yong Zhi saw this, they put down their worries and said with a smile: "That's good."
But...
"Brother Yan, you should pay more attention to your health and take good care of yourself." Yong Zhi advised, with a look of worry in his eyes.
Yan Zhou looked at the worry in his eyes, tugged at the corner of his mouth and said, "Brother Yong, don't worry, I know my body is in good health. Living for another twenty years is not a problem."
Yong Zhixiao: "How can another twenty years be enough? I still want you to carry my coffin, so you have to live for at least another forty or fifty years, because I don't want to die too early."
Yan Zhou heard this Laugh.
Xiang Wei said: "Brother Yan and Brother Yong, don't mention the word death too often. It's unlucky."
The two of them looked at Xiang Wei at the same time and teased him: "Do you still believe this?"
Only the ignorant people in the countryside are superstitious. People like them only believe in winning by force.
Xiang Wei said: "How trustworthy."
Xiang and Yong didn't stay long, and only sat for two quarters of an hour before leaving.
Before leaving the gate of Duke Yan's mansion, a man in green robe walked towards him.
The man is more than thirty years old, with a face like a crown of jade, a body like a green bamboo, and an elegant temperament. He looks very much like a young master from a prince's family, but he is actually a merchant.
Zheng Nandan stepped far away to the roadside and saluted: "The common people pay their respects to Prince Yonghou and Lord Xiang."
"It turns out to be Zheng Dong's family." Yongzhi asked with a smile: "But Come and see Yan "The Duke of Yan?"
Zheng Nandan looked surprised: "The prince of Yonghou actually recognized Cao Min"
He then hurriedly replied: "The Duke of Yan allowed Cao Min to visit him."< br>
Yongzhi smiled and said: "Zheng Dong's family has spent a lot of money to stabilize market prices for the court and save the people of the capital from disaster. Their good reputation spreads far and wide. No one in the capital knows about it, and so-and-so naturally knows about it."
Zheng Nandan After hearing this, he bent down a degree and said, "The common people are terrified."
