Oh, this is it.
Lu Jinxi remembered it for a while, and stretched it out into the box, took out a book and flipped it over. The paper was a little old, and it was obvious that it was some years old.
One by one above, it really is a chess sheet.
She put down the book in her hand again, took out a scroll that was pressed underneath, and unfolded it. It was also a chess book, but it was much more complicated than the ones written down in the book, and they were all inexplicable and precious.
So helpless.
She was actually quite interested in playing chess, but it was because of the old master's intention, so she put the scroll back and said, "Put all these in my room, and I'll look at it another day."
"Yes."
The wind chimes withdrew according to the words, and asked people to move the box full of chess records to Lu Jinxi's study.
Night has come now.
Lu Jinxi sat alone in the room and read a book for a while, and felt sleepy, so she crawled onto the bed lightly, and fell asleep with Gu Juefei, who was already asleep.
The next two days will undoubtedly be turbulent two days.
All kinds of rumors spread in the capital.
I don't know when it started, all kinds of rumors and rumors gradually fell on Gu Juefei, saying that he was a coveted married woman, and marrying Lu Jinxi was a prostitute and a wife. The important post of a scholar of the Palace of Preserving Harmony.
But at the same time, another rumor is also rampant: It is said that Xue Kuang conquered the Xiongnu without costing the imperial court a soldier and a soldier. In the past ten years, he did not endure the humiliation at all, but he had actually surrendered to the Xiongnu, and had become a traitor with Princess Nalanqu. In order to delay the army, we must conspire to rebel!
In this case, even a fool can feel that under the boiling water of the capital, there are two forces that are biting secretly, you come and I, and fight each other!
The people finally smelled a little uneasy smell.
There are fewer people who dare to go out these days, for fear of causing trouble, and there is no sign of the new year in the capital.
This stalemate situation continued until the fourth day of the first day after the end of the court Zhengyuan Xiumu three days——
The first DPRK meeting day in the seventeenth year of Qing'an.
On this day, Gu Juefei got up very early, put on the first-class Xianhe court clothes little by little, smoothed every fold of the cuffs and neckline, and entered the palace in a soft sedan chair in the cold wind of winter.
Lu Jinxi watched him disappear outside the door.
Even if he didn't say much when he left, she could easily guess that there was bound to be a tit-for-tat battle in today's court!
Swords, lights, swords and shadows are all invisible.
As if everyone knew that this would be an unusual day, none of the civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty arrived late, and they waited outside the Tai Chi Gate early.
The only one who came a little later was Xue Kuang.
After changing out of the heavy armor, he was wearing a unicorn-patterned military uniform.
When the Tai Chi Gate opened, the two of them each took the lead in civil and military affairs, and they were quite close to each other, walking towards the gate at the same time.
One from the left, one from the right.
No one looked at anyone, and no one said a word to anyone.
When I entered the Golden Palace, I only heard the voice of the eunuch and spies sing, shouting "The emperor is here", and everyone knelt down in unison, and the mountain shouted long live.
Xiao Che sat on the dragon chair with the twelve crowns on his head and glanced down.
In addition to Gu Juefei, who was the first on the left, Xue Kuang, who was the first on the right, was also so eye-catching.
On the snowy night three days ago, in this great hall, he heard the news that Xue Kuang had knocked into the gate and entered the invitation. He hurriedly approached Gu Juefei to discuss it, and then summoned a group of confidants before calling Xue Kuang, who had returned from the dead. condition.
For three days in a row, he felt that it was a nightmare.
But today, the source of this nightmare was living under his eyes.
A thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh!
He wished he could get rid of it immediately, but when all eyes were on him and the justice was so clear, how could he dare to take the risk of the world and scold him, Xue Kuangshi, for being a rebel and a thief without any evidence?
Only forbearance.
With hard fingers, he quietly clenched the cold armrest of the dragon chair, and Xiao Che forced himself to suppress the mixed emotions of fear and killing intent.
He first said "All the ministers are flat", and then he said directly: "The matter of General Xue's return to the DPRK should have been heard by the ministers in the past few days, so I won't repeat them. But after all, this is a big deal, and I have summoned Gu Aiqing and several cabinet ministers to discuss and formulate a new decree. Before today's discussion, please ask Gu Aiqing to read the decree to me first."
"The minister obeys the order."
Gu Juefei was not surprised by what Xiao Che said.
He went out according to his words, and the waiting eunuch walked up directly with a gold-painted lacquer plate, and gave him the rolled up imperial decree in the middle.
After years of ups and downs in the court, Gu Juefei has an extraordinary power in every gesture. At this moment, he took up a full sleeve, picked up the imperial decree and unfolded it, with a smile on his face.
No need to look, he knew what was written on the imperial edict.
At this moment, he only glanced down slightly, then stood in the middle of the court and read aloud: "Xue Kuang, the general of Wuwei Town, took the order—"
"..."
Xue Kuang raised his head and met Gu Juefei's gaze raised from the imperial edict, which contained undisguised hostility and coldness.
He is waiting for his order.
Under the heaven, the Son of Heaven is the most respected.
But now the emperor is sitting high above the Ming hall. Gu Juefei is the one who read out the will on behalf of the emperor. It took him three and a half years to climb to this position, and he can stand on the hall with his back straight.
And he is the one who received the decree, so he must bend down and kneel in front of him!
The eyes are like knives, like swords, confronting each other in this moment.
One cold, one strong.
No one was afraid, no one backed down.
At this moment, time seemed to stop in such a tense situation, and all the civil and military people of the dynasty watched this scene with fear, unable to imagine the mood of any one of them.
They used to be the proud sons of the heavens, the two jades of the Xia Dynasty.
They have also married the same woman successively in the past ten years or so.
No one can judge, at this moment, whether the two of them are enemies or friends.
Everyone could only see that after the brief or long-term exchange of sight, Xue Kuang came out, lowered his eyes, lifted his robe, and knelt down, vaguely showing the heroic vigor that he used to fight the rivers and mountains.
The voice that had been away for ten years resounded in the courtroom once again.
"Chen, Xue Kuang, accept the order!"
Chapter 186
"Xue Kuang, the great general of Wuwei's repression of the country, upholds propriety and righteousness, and is stronger than war and agility in action. In the past, he saved the country in peril, set down barbarians in the north, and punished Baiyue in the south. The heaven descends on the generals, and the blessing of the great summer should be announced to the world and widely known to the people. Now, when describing his merits, he will be given a special seal of the king, which can be compared to the saints, exempt from the emperor, and bestow Liaodong as a fief. Appreciate this!"
Gu Juefei's clear voice echoed in the empty hall.
When the five words "One word side by side king" came out, all civil and military officials were horrified!
This is……
Sealed Xue Kuang Yi Wang?!
It has been more than a hundred years since the founding of the Great Xia Kingdom. The so-called "separation system" was abolished hundreds of years ago, and this dynasty has never named any king with a different surname!
Now not only has Xue Kuang been sealed, but also a fief?
What is even more terrifying is that the status represented by this "one-word king" is second only to the emperor, and you don't have to salute when you meet the emperor!
Regardless of whether they were suspicious of Xue Kuang or supportive of Xue Kuang, at this time, he couldn't believe what he heard.
